IRC log of #maemo for Sunday, 2014-04-20

DocScrutinizer05but as mentioned at several places, Neo900 group is strictly about hardware. It's the community - particularly FPTF - rthat takes care about porting (and maybe improving) maemo00:00
Tekk_yeah00:00
DocScrutinizer05jolla is fine when it's "free enough for you"00:00
DocScrutinizer05they again do that "we provide it for you" nonsense. And they even CANNOT provide all it needs to at least reflash the device00:01
*** _rd has joined #maemo00:02
DocScrutinizer05not my way00:02
*** HylianSavior has joined #maemo00:03
DocScrutinizer05so much not my way that I even didn't bother yet to "root" my jolla device00:03
DocScrutinizer05I.E. I can only tell you about its idiosyncrasies from hearsay. One of those hearsays is: it has 25 partitions of which only 5 are documented and FOSS00:04
DocScrutinizer05and thus flashable00:04
DocScrutinizer05nuke any of the other 20 and you're doomed00:05
DocScrutinizer05honestly this sounds almost worse than N900:05
nox-:(00:06
bencohDocScrutinizer05: you actually have a jolla ?00:06
bencohwaitwaitwait o.O00:07

DocScrutinizer05unless you say "as long as I may code my QML apps, I don't care what the system does" - then it's for sure a fine device for you00:07
DocScrutinizer05bencoh: yep, I do. As well as I got a N950, a N9, even a few winphones from ~6 years ago00:08
DocScrutinizer05I never get around to sell any of them, since selling is too much hassle00:08
bencohn950 I can understand why ;)00:08
DocScrutinizer05actually for N950 I can't understand at all why I ignored/rejected those ~2k bucks a sale could have earned me00:09
DocScrutinizer05I also can't understand why I not already disassembled it to the bones00:10
DocScrutinizer05err, why I not disassembled N900:10
bencohbecause it is still a pretty nice thing after all ? :)00:10
bencohoh, n9, yeah00:10
DocScrutinizer05N950 disassmbly is no gain on any level, since it's a poorly tested hw and I can't learn much from it00:11
bencohdont we have specs anyway ?00:11
DocScrutinizer05then OTOH for N9 I have schematics, so...00:11
Tekk_oh yeah, with qml writing a new launcher probably wouldn't be much of a pain at all00:17
Tekk_relative to doing it in hildon at least00:18
DocScrutinizer05I don't see any problem in "writing it in hildon" either00:23
Tekk_not that it's problem, just that qml makes things a bit easier than writing it in C I imagine00:24
DocScrutinizer05actually, I might be mistaken but I thought there actually already *are* alternative launchers00:24
DocScrutinizer05for fremantle00:24
Tekk_nice00:25
DocScrutinizer05(qml vs C) that depends a lot on what you wanna do. dirt simple things are most simple in QML. Complex things are most complex and probably impossible in QML00:25
Tekk_ah00:26
Tekk_I've actually not had the chance to play with either yet. I only got the sdk set up recently :/00:26
DocScrutinizer05I tend to thin of QML coding like writing a webpage00:26
DocScrutinizer05think*00:26
DocScrutinizer05sure it's simple, as long as you don't need real good stuff00:27
DocScrutinizer05you wouldn't code doom or whatever first person shooter in HTML, eh?00:27
Tekk_mhm00:27
Tekk_DocScrutinizer05: that would be a good example if people weren't doing exactly that these days :/00:27
DocScrutinizer05yeah, a pity00:28
Tekk_you probably have to move to Rage00:28
Tekk_since mozilla got unreal engine 3 working in js00:28
DocScrutinizer05too many webcoders, too few real programmers00:28
Tekk_hey, there can be hybrids at the fun intersections :P00:28
* Tekk_ once wrote a web thing in assembly because a friend said that you couldn't00:28
DocScrutinizer05lol00:29
bencoh:]00:29
DocScrutinizer05when you can't do it in FORTRAN, do it in ASSEMBLER. When you ca't do it in assembler, it#s not worth getting done at all00:29
Tekk_actually I have to say that assembly on linux is not bad at all00:30
Tekk_it was more or less just C with more boilerplate00:30
Tekk_and most of that boilerplate was because I was avoiding linking against libc :P00:31
bencohint0x80 all the way00:31
Tekk_yep00:31
Tekk_writing all the string manipulation stuff from scratch was definitely fun00:31
bencohwouldn't call that 'fun' but yeah :)00:32
bencoh(its fun for the first time)00:32
Tekk_oh yeah, I'm sure it gets boring after your 5th time00:32
DocScrutinizer05when you're writing such stuff 5 times, you should get punished by doing windows administration for at least 1 year00:34
bencohnoo~00:34
DocScrutinizer05without mouse, only keyboard00:34
DocScrutinizer05even in assembler you can write modular and even OO code00:35
bencohahem00:35
*** r00t^home has quit IRC00:35
DocScrutinizer05ok, the tools are not that great for doing so00:35
DocScrutinizer05but macro assemblers been invented before anybody knew what's fortran00:36
*** LauRoman|Laptop has joined #maemo00:37
*** LauRoman|Laptop has quit IRC00:37
DocScrutinizer05modern risk architecture makes it a tad more cumbersome to re-use code00:37
DocScrutinizer05but basically it still works all the same00:38
Tekk_DocScrutinizer05: I don't remember who00:41
Tekk_but someone used to sell an "object-oriented" macro assembler00:41
Tekk_borland maybe?00:41
DocScrutinizer05sounds about real00:41
DocScrutinizer05borland would be the first candidate for that00:41
Tekk_https://monate.codeplex.com/ that's one00:41
* Tekk_ can't seem to find the particular one he was looking for00:42
DocScrutinizer05and after all c itself is a glorified assembler language ;-)00:45
DocScrutinizer05writing c you almost can feel what the opcodes will be that will get generated by the compiler00:46
DocScrutinizer05and some idiotic property of c is based on exactly this original principle of simply creating a opcode macro for ever c syntactical element00:48
DocScrutinizer05think "case", think "for" loops00:49
DocScrutinizer05think pointer arithmetic and arrays00:50
DocScrutinizer05strings00:50
DocScrutinizer05boolean errr00:50
*** xes has joined #maemo00:51
DocScrutinizer05I wait for the moment when machine code is more advanced and abstract than c sourcecode. Then it gets really funny00:51
*** shentey has quit IRC00:52
DocScrutinizer05"sorry, c programs are really unbearably slow on this new architecture. The CPU executes native python code"00:53
Tekk_DocScrutinizer05: it's already sort of like that00:53
Tekk_mmx and stuff provide native vector things, for example00:53
DocScrutinizer05yep00:53
bencohDocScrutinizer05: :D00:53
Tekk_plus your python cpu already sort of exists in the jazelle arm extension :)00:53
Tekk_except that's java bytecode, not python00:53
bencohit's almost the case for embedded jvm00:54
* Tekk_ wonders why people haven't come out with that for dalvik yet00:54
DocScrutinizer05maybe because jazelle is broken crap?00:54
bencohthey dont ?00:54
bencohI actually thought they did00:55
DocScrutinizer05I guess jazellle is like DMA in 486, the CPU does it faster natively than the DMA(/jazelle) controller can do it00:56
bencohmaybe00:57
Tekk_:/00:58
Tekk_all of the nokia docs for qt4 on maemo are dead00:58
RST38hWhich jazelle?00:59
bencoharm jazelle jvm00:59
DocScrutinizer05Tekk_: ouch00:59
RST38hThere are multiple jazelles00:59
RST38hThe original one, which was deprecated00:59
Tekk_actually00:59
DocScrutinizer05Tekk_: wondered when it will happen00:59
Tekk_DocScrutinizer05: worse00:59
RST38hAnd the new one which is not exactly java cpu,afaik01:00
Tekk_qt.nokia.com and trolltech.com are entirely gone01:00
*** valeriusL has quit IRC01:00
DocScrutinizer05:nod:01:00
bencohRST38h: the "new" one as ThumbEE ?01:00
RST38hAlso, it might be worth pondering on why you need a special "CPU" to run your designer language of choice, rather than switch to a real compiled language like C or C++01:01
RST38hbencoh: correct01:01
*** LauRoman|Alt has joined #maemo01:01
bencohhmm, does maemo sdk works on wheezy (I don't care about the graphical part) ?01:02
DocScrutinizer05RST38h: (compiled lang) that's what we came from, evetually the CPU intruction set will be more complex and abstract than C sourcecode01:02
RST38hDoc: Sorry, not getting your comparison.01:02
bencoh(wiki mentions squeeze)01:03
RST38hDoc: CPU ISA and C syntax are two completely different entities01:03
DocScrutinizer05 didn't know I did compare something01:03
RST38hDoc: You can't call one more complex than the other because they essentially mean different things01:03
DocScrutinizer05uhuh01:03
DocScrutinizer05except for jazelle, right?01:04
RST38hDoc: Are you comparing them based on the number of keywords? Or the number of builtin functions? Or something else?01:04
RST38hDoc: No01:04
RST38hDoc: Jazelle is just that - a semi-hardware JVM01:04
DocScrutinizer05meh01:04
RST38hDoc: But JVM byte code is not the same thing as Java01:04
DocScrutinizer05dozble-meh01:05
*** LauRoman has quit IRC01:05
RST38hDoc: It is a rather arbitrarily chosen stack-based ISA01:05
RST38hDoc: Which cannot be efficiently implemented in hw because whoever has chosen it did not target hw01:05
DocScrutinizer05sorry I'm neither interested in an argument nor a lesson01:05
RST38hDoc: Well, it is a rather good example of how NOT to design an ISA :)01:06
DocScrutinizer05so what?01:06
RST38hDoc: + you can endlessly troll remaining Java adepts with it =)01:06
DocScrutinizer05when you wanna argue with me, tell me what's so great about QML01:11
RST38hAhhahahaha01:11
bencoh:)01:11
DocScrutinizer05and how it makes sense to support only QML for developing apps01:11
RST38hDoc: My favorite topic as well =)01:11
RST38hDoc: Usually makes them sheepishly say that "yes, it takes way more code to do it in QML, but I get feature X not available with QWidgets"01:12
RST38hDoc: Based on how messed up the QML stuff is and how adamantly the top trolls insist on using it, it must have been invented by some lonely top cheese at Trolltech, who later made it a company policy01:14
Tekk_the idea of a declarative ui isn't a bad one01:14
Tekk_I can't speak to the implementation yet though01:14
RST38hThe idea is years old01:14
Tekk_but it is kinda nice in gtk to be able to just use glade and fill in the hooks01:15
RST38hFreaking MOTIF had declarative UI01:15
Tekk_yeah, the idea is ancient01:15
RST38hGtk is another can of worms01:15
* RST38h liked how gnomes invented their own object-oriented language, which looked exactly like C++ or C#, but avoided any references to C++/C# in their web pages and documentation01:16

DocScrutinizer05brolin_empey: ok, you rarely use mc. What is the conclusion I take from that?19:12
*** LauRoman|Alt has quit IRC19:13
brolin_empeyDocScrutinizer05: I wonder why you want mc because I do not seem to need mc.19:14
DocScrutinizer05who says I want mc?19:14
ApicI do not _need_ mc either, but like it and use it sometimes nevertheless.19:14
DocScrutinizer05(irrelevant, but actually I like mc as well)19:16
brolin_empeyDocScrutinizer05: I thought you discovered the dependency problem with mc because you wanted to install mc so you could use mc.  I guess you were only managing/maintaining the Maemo package repositories?19:17
DocScrutinizer05is this relevant?19:17
brolin_empeyDocScrutinizer05: I was trying to answer your question of “who says I want mc?”.19:19
DocScrutinizer05well, this was a rethorical question, which I can answer myself for you: *I* didn't say I want mc. I stated that there's a problem in extras-devel19:20
ApicEOD19:21
DocScrutinizer05errrmaemo-extras19:21
DocScrutinizer05a package thta got promoted to maemo-extras is depending on stuff that's only available in maemo-extras-testing19:22
ApicThanks for pointing out that Repo19:22
ApicI'll add it B-)19:22
ApicAnd deploy mc B-)19:22
DocScrutinizer05HAM will notice that and show a problem when somebody wants to install or update mc19:22
DocScrutinizer05Apic: eh?19:23
ApicUh19:24
ApicI'm confused19:24
DocScrutinizer05when you want to take maintainership of mc and/or libslang, go ahead use the "request maintainership" button on the respective packages interface pages19:24
ApicThere's only /extras/ in there, not even /extras-devel/19:24
ApicI think i keep from modifying anything…19:25
ApicNever touch a running System %-)19:25
DocScrutinizer05better that. Adding extras-devel and then doing an "update all" has potential to nuke your system19:25
DocScrutinizer05it's *devel* for a reason19:26
Tekk_oh, speaking of updates19:26
Tekk_I'm not actually able to update cutetube19:26
Tekk_ube-qml that is19:26
Tekk_it's been in my updates list for months, but whenever I update it downloads, tries to install, then says it fails19:26
brolin_empeyDocScrutinizer05: I do not know about you but, maybe even on a weekly basis if not more frequently, a remark I make that is intended only as a neutral observation is interpreted by someone else as a judgement.19:26

*** japa-fi has joined #maemo19:31
brolin_empeyHonestly, my user experience with Maemo 5 on my Nokia N900 in Canada is too poor to want to continue using a Nokia N900.  To be fair, some of my poor user experience is caused by hardware limitations, not software.19:32
freemangordonbrolin_empey: could you elaborate, I am curious19:33
freemangordonwhat exactly HW is n900 missing19:33
Tekk_freemangordon: he may be on rogers19:34
Tekk_on rogers in canada and at&t in the US(my carries) 3g doesn't work19:34
Tekk_my carrier*19:34
freemangordonaah19:34
Tekk_hardware support for mp4 would be pretty nice too19:35
freemangordonwhat?19:35
freemangordonmp4 as in?19:35
Tekk_as it stands watching any video made since the n900 was launched absolutely kills the battery19:35
freemangordonTekk_: what do you use to watch it?19:35
Tekk_mplayer. mediaplayer just plain refuses to use mp4 for me19:36
freemangordonmplayer or media player?19:36
freemangordonwell, mplayer does not use DSP19:36
Apicmpv > MPlayer19:36
Tekk_Apic: mpv is on the n900 now? :)19:37
ApicNo Idea ;-)19:37
brolin_empeyfreemangordon: 256 MiB of physical RAM is far too little.  Even a 400-MHz Pentium II tower computer I prepared for my employer has 512 MiB of physical RAM.19:37
ApicShould be in the ARM Debian Repo19:37
ApicThough probably not optimized19:37
Tekk_brolin_empey: do you even get 256 of physical?19:37
Tekk_oh right19:37
Tekk_ that was my last phone that had 12819:37
Sicelothere we go again.. someone installing debian stuff on mameo :p19:37
freemangordonwait, wait, most mp4/mpv videos I throw on my device are perfectly playable via media player19:37
Tekk_freemangordon: weird19:38
freemangordonTekk_: did you install harmattan codecs?19:38
freemangordonDSP codecs that is19:38

Tekk_M4rtinK: yes, but pretty much all of the time when you say mp4 you can be sure of an h264/mp3 setup19:39
Tekk_or h264/aac19:40

M4rtinKbut "mp4" you get from cameras for example19:40
Tekk_freemangordon: thanks for the link btw, I'll try that19:40
M4rtinKcan be quite weird from my experience19:40
freemangordonbrolin_empey: sure, 256 is far too little, but if you don't run openoffice and gimp simultaneously it is pretty much ok19:41
freemangordonassuming you move the swap to uSD19:42
freemangordonand tweaked swappiuness/io scheduler19:42
freemangordonswapiness even19:42
freemangordonbrolin_empey: keep in mind I am on cssu-thumb, so your experience might be a bit different if you are on stock19:43
freemangordonTekk_: could you paste a link to one of those non-working videos so I can try it19:44
brolin_empeyI like how Maemo 5 can use tracker/module files in the same way as stream formats.  However, that ability has become irrelevant since I switched to always using a silent profile because I do not want to be a cell out.  Yes, I mean cell, not sell.19:44
Tekk_brolin_empey: the n900 is almost powerful enough to use as an everyday computer assuming you have kernel power + overclocking19:44
Tekk_and a bluetooth keyboard/mouse19:44
freemangordon:nod:19:44
Tekk_freemangordon: it's primarily just stuff downloaded with cutetube using mp419:44
freemangordonTekk_: afaik those are hight profile, stock codecs does not support it19:45
brolin_empeyfreemangordon: I am using the CSSU (stable, IIRC) but I do not know if it is using Thumb.  In any case, though, I want x86, not the ARM, which is a large part of my reason for switching from my Nokia N900 to a Geeksphone Revolution.19:49
freemangordonbrolin_empey: you're not (using thumb)19:50
brolin_empeyTekk_: I use Fido Mobile, which means I am in the same situation as if I used Rogers Wireless in terms of inability to use “3G” (HSPA).19:54
*** FlameReaper has quit IRC19:57
brolin_empeyTekk_: The Nokia N900 cannot be used with the cellular networks of both Telus Mobility, Bell Mobility, and all of their MVNOs because the Nokia N900 does not support the UMTS bands used by both Telus Mobility and Bell Mobility, two of the largest mobile telcos in Canada.19:59

DocScrutinizer05((almost powerful enough to use as an everyday computer...)) no OC needed for that. OC makes little real difference in UX, except for time critical applications that either work or break, depending on performance >x or <x20:13
DocScrutinizer05like e.g. audio/video playback20:13
DocScrutinizer05for 720p I heard you mandatory need OC, or it will not keep up with the standard framerate20:14
DocScrutinizer05but then, who needs 720p on a device with a 800*480 display and a PAL/NTSC composite video output?20:15
Tekk_DocScrutinizer05: I find that it's very useful when you're doing heavy multitasking20:15
Tekk_tweaking swappiness helps a lot there too20:16
DocScrutinizer05I don't feel like starting my usual rant about OC now. Sorry for those who already fetched their popcorn20:16
DocScrutinizer05anyway improving IO and swap parameters does magintudes more for percieved performance of N900 than a 20% or somesuch of CPU OC20:17
DocScrutinizer05even 50% are hardlly noticeable20:17
Tekk_it's not a life changing improvement, but every bit helps20:18
DocScrutinizer05increasing CPU clock by 100% doesn't mean your system will be 100% faster, thanks to performance being a mix of IO, CPU, RAM, DSP, other stuff, the total boost is maybe only 30% for a CPU OC of 100%20:19
*** valeriusL has quit IRC20:20
DocScrutinizer05then otoh OC by 50% will reduce lifespan of your CPU til complete irrecoverable failure by a factor 10 or more20:20
DocScrutinizer05e.g from 100k h to <<10k h20:20
DocScrutinizer05~omap-oc20:21
infobotfrom memory, omap-oc is http://mg.pov.lt/maemo-irclog/%23maemo.2010-08-01.log.html#t2010-08-01T22:16:05  read that!, or and this http://mg.pov.lt/maemo-irclog/%23maemo.2011-03-11.log.html#t2011-03-11T03:04:1120:21
Tekk_DocScrutinizeryour 10% per week is definitely problematic, but 100k to 10k could be about right20:23
* Tekk_ is only at ~4 kh20:24
*** wicket64 has joined #maemo20:25
DocScrutinizer05Tekk_: and that's only for times when CPU running at OC clock *really*, noot for the idle periods when clock got stopped20:27
DocScrutinizer05s/noot/not/20:27
infobotDocScrutinizer05 meant: Tekk_: and that's only for times when CPU running at OC clock *really*, not for the idle periods when clock got stopped20:27
DocScrutinizer05anyway, TI says "OMAP lives 100k hours on up to 500MHz clock, and 15k h when operating at 600MHz" - up to you to guess how long it might work while clocked at 900MHz20:29
DocScrutinizer05when it's "linear", the for every 100MHz plus, the lifespan will be 1/8 or sth like that. Odds are it's exponential20:30
DocScrutinizer05i.e: for 700MHz20:31
DocScrutinizer05~15000/820:31
infobot187520:31
DocScrutinizer05for 800MHz:20:31
DocScrutinizer05~1875/820:32
infobot234.37520:32
DocScrutinizer05for 900MHz:20:32
DocScrutinizer05~235/820:32
infobot29.37520:32
DocScrutinizer05*cough*20:32
DocScrutinizer05and odds are at 1000MHz the SoC burns out after 3..4h of heavy number crunching20:33
DocScrutinizer05no matter if done in one session of 4h, or in chunks of 16 * 15minutes20:34
DocScrutinizer05actually TI predicts that a 5% of devices are dead after that timespan of torture20:37
DocScrutinizer05and it's been 23k h, not 15k h20:38
DocScrutinizer05so, assuming this isn't 1/8 bit only 1/4, the formula goes like this20:38
DocScrutinizer05~23000/4/4/4/420:39
infobot89.8437520:39

bencohnevermind, android stuff that has never been ported back20:50
bencoh(to mainline)20:50
hxka> The key difference in the “hotplug” governor is that it will disable auxillary CPUs when the system is very idle, and enable them again once the system becomes busy. This is achieved by averaging load over multiple sampling periods; if CPUs were online or offlined based on a single sampling period then thrashing will occur.20:50
