IRC log of #maemo for Tuesday, 2014-04-29

DocScrutinizer05*I* got my hardcoded IPs in rtc/hosts still. I wonder how many of the community do00:00
DocScrutinizer05etc*00:00
DocScrutinizer05I also got my complete local backup of tabletsdev00:01
DocScrutinizer05I wonder if I want or need mirrors of base repos, tools, SDK00:02
xesDocScrutinizer05: don't worry, there is always a solution ...00:04
DocScrutinizer05aha00:04
bencohI mirrored most of nokia's repos btw00:04
wizbitgot fbcon working :D00:05
DocScrutinizer05we could publish a note on /. about "please open HAM, click "catalogs" in menu, then "new", then enter the following settings..."00:05
bencohDocScrutinizer05: how big are extras{,-testing,-devel} and community{,-testing,-devel,-thumb} btw ?00:06
DocScrutinizer05ask xes00:06
xeswizbit: warning, pay attention to fbcon it's a crash generator...00:06
wizbitits not safe to use?00:06
bencohxes: how big are extras/community repos ?00:06
xesbencoh: more than 750 GB00:07
bencohwow00:07
Ashley`my hdd is 180GB :v00:08
bencohthat seems huge (even compared to debian)00:08
DocScrutinizer05pretty bloated00:08
bencohdo you keep archives of old builds/packages ?00:08
xesbut probably there are a few duplicates not used00:08
bencohI hope so00:08
bencohI guess I should try apt-mirroring it and see what it says to have a more accurate value00:09
DocScrutinizer05tabletsdev alone is >30GB00:09
xesbencoh: no00:10
DocScrutinizer05the maemo-extras[-*] repos are the least problematic00:10
bencohno I shouldnt, or no it wont be more accurate ?00:10
bencoh(yesterday I considered mirroring it as well then thought it might be a bit heavy on maemo infra)00:11
DocScrutinizer05hosted in a safe place, on a decent machine, by respected competent sysops00:11
bencoharen't they run by hifo as well ?00:12
xesbencoh: example: http://repository.maemo.org/extras/pool/fremantle/free/m/modrana/00:12
DocScrutinizer05meh, maemo infra can cope with that easily, as long as you don't access web content managed by midgard00:12

RotacidniI have a N900, and I love it. But the hardware is inevitable out-of-date.00:46
RotacidniI feel sorry that I have to buy a new android based phone maybe.00:46
RotacidniDo you have any idea on where Maemo will go?00:47
RotacidniI recently successfully paired my google glass with N900 with bluetooth PAN.00:48

DocScrutinizer05Rotacidni: maybe neo900 is an alternative for you?01:35
DocScrutinizer05anyway it's probably the only direction "maemo will go"01:36
DocScrutinizer05and maybe even towards newer and better CPU once we ported fremantle to another OMAP and liberated the closed blobs01:37
DocScrutinizer05with Neo901 though01:37
DocScrutinizer05Neo900 will have a DM3730 OMAP3 CPU01:38
okiasRotacidni: but rather than Android phone Jolla01:38

bencohhmmm01:43
bencohkinda01:43
bencohjolla's still a frankenstein androphone01:43
bencoh(and it seems they intend to keep it this way)01:43
DocScrutinizer05obviously01:45
DocScrutinizer05and even worse in my book: it keeps the paradigm that made harmattan/N9 unattractive to me. N9 been the first *phone* in the whole series. everything before been a Nokia Internet Tablet, read: a palmtop computer. N9 and Jolla clearly left behind the computer paradigm and went "phone with apps"01:47
DocScrutinizer05on harmattan it's blatantly obvious: edit anything in system config and you get a malfuntion on next boot and need to reflash01:49
DocScrutinizer05user is just that: a *user* who mustn't touch the system01:50
DocScrutinizer05I wanna *own* my device, that's why I went with linux phones to begin with01:50
DocScrutinizer05when I want that other concept, then damn sure I rather would've gone with iPhone or winphone01:51

Mike11file manager on my nokia n900 says no files/folders , I see that /dev/mmcblk0p1 is not mounted in x-terminal, if I try to mount it it says "mount: mounting /dev/mmcblk0p1on /home/user/MyDocs failed: Invalid argument"08:36
Mike11tried "fsck -a /dev/mmcblk0p1" , ended up with "Logical sector size is zero."08:38

wizbiti do have fbcon switched on09:14
Mike11 andre__ , mount /dev/mmcblk0p109:16
Mike11Maxdamantus, no I can't09:16
Mike11I managed to get my mmcblk0p1 accessible again by reformatting it09:17
Mike11mkfs.vfat -F32 -s64 /dev/mmcblk0p109:17
*** valeriusL has joined #maemo09:17
Mike11thank you guys :)09:18
Mike11but now I have another problem please help me09:19
Mike11the size of MyDocs is now 27 GB only09:19
Mike11it used to be 30 GB on my phone09:19
MaxdamantusAre you sure it's not 27 GiB?09:19
Maxdamantus(which is probably about 30 GB)09:19
*** _rd has quit IRC09:20
Mike11there are some lost blocks when I print the partition table using sfdisk -d /dev/mmcblk009:20
Mike11just a moment , Maxdamantus :)09:21
*** wicket64 has quit IRC09:23
Mike11Maxdamantus, no it is 27 GB09:24
Mike11and there are no "lost blocks" , I was messing things up as always :(09:24
Mike11but how come, I have only 2 GB as "Memory for installable applications"09:25
*** shentey has quit IRC09:25
MaxdamantusIsn't that about the usual size?09:26
*** hxka__ has quit IRC09:26
Maxdamantus27 + 2 = 29 .. sounds like what I'd expect.09:27
Mike11isn't the NAND flash of about 32 GB???09:28
Maxdamantussince there's also swap on the mmc.09:28
MaxdamantusAh, yes, probably.09:28
MaxdamantusWas thinking in GiB.09:28
Mike11is mmcblk0p3 the swap partition??09:28
ShadowJKyes09:30
Mike11anyways here is the partition table of my mmcblk0p109:33
Mike11mmcnlk0***09:33
Mike11mmcblk0****09:33
Mike11# partition table of /dev/mmcblk009:33
Mike11unit: sectors09:33
Mike11/dev/mmcblk0p1 : start=       64, size= 56631296, Id= c09:33
Mike11/dev/mmcblk0p2 : start= 56631360, size=  4194304, Id=8309:33
Mike11/dev/mmcblk0p3 : start= 60825664, size=  1572864, Id=8209:33
Mike11/dev/mmcblk0p4 : start=        0, size=        0, Id= 009:33
Mike11but I have about 2 GB of memory for installable applications , and 27.22GB of memory for user files, when going to settings -> memory09:35
Mike11how is that??09:35
Maxdamantusapplications go in /home/opt or something.09:35
Maxdamantusrather than /home/user/MyDocs, which is where the 27 GB filesystem is mounted.09:36
Maxdamantusapplications usually expect to be stored on a POSIX-compatible filesystem, not something like FAT32.09:36
MaxdamantusIf you're not expecting to be using it as a mass storage device very often, you might want to scrap the FAT partition and just make a single ext2/3 one.09:38
Mike11is the block here of size 512kb ??09:38
MaxdamantusYou could mount it on a computer using something like sshfs, either over WiFi or over g_ether (where the phone acts as a USB ethernet device)09:39
Maxdamantusno, it'll be 512 bytes.\09:40
wizbiti didnt realise the n900 has a micro sd slot09:41
Mike11I have another nokia n900 with exactly the same partition table, but has about 4GB of memory for installable applications , when going to settings -> memory :o09:41
Mike11what is wrong ?!09:42
MaxdamantusMike11: df -hT /dev/mmcblk0p209:42
MaxdamantusHm. That partition should be about 2 GiB.09:43
Maxdamantusso the filesystem shouldn't be larger.09:43
MaxdamantusMaybe do that on both devices.09:43
Mike11Maxdamantus sorry you were right :)09:46
Mike11both are 2 GB , but the visual bar on the settings -> memory was tricking me :)09:46
Mike11thanks for your help Maxdamantus :)09:46

DocScrutinizer05intgr: we tried to get a proper cert a year ago, and failed. We went for per-VM free certs.

wizbitDocScrutinizer05: phone is working awesome, thanks for your help21:29
wizbitgoing to do a few more finishing touches then back it up21:29
wizbiti didnt realise the n900 can take a micro ssd card21:29
freemangordonwizbit: what is micro ssd card?21:30
freemangordonor it is a typo?21:30
wizbit*micro sd21:30
wizbitor maybe thats what is in use at the moment21:31
wizbiti thought maybe 32gb is built in and there is another slot for a extra card?21:32
*** nox- has joined #maemo21:32
freemangordonwizbit: yes, there is uSD card slot21:33
freemangordonand 32GB of built-in flash + 256MB of NAND21:33
wizbitwow :D21:33
wizbitfreemangordon: would it be a good idea to use the extra one for swap?21:34
*** bugzy has quit IRC21:34
freemangordonthat would be very very good idea21:34
DocScrutinizer05hmmm21:34
freemangordonmost of us do it21:34
DocScrutinizer05nope21:34
freemangordonwhat?21:34
freemangordonnope what? havin swap on uSD is a good idea21:34
DocScrutinizer05depends21:35
wizbitwhat is the maximum size card for the uSD slot?21:35
wizbit32GB, ive seen 64GB ones advertised21:35
freemangordonwizbit: I am using 64GB21:35
wizbitnice21:35
wizbitmost brands will work ok?21:35
freemangordonshould21:35
wizbitwill it get auto detected at boot time?21:36
DocScrutinizer05between "should" and "do" there's a huge gap here21:36
wizbitshould i use vfat or ext321:36
freemangordonup to you21:36
wizbitext3 is superior to vfat21:36
freemangordonbut won't be recognized by windoze21:36
wizbiti dont use windoze :D21:36
wizbiti use sftp or ssh to transfer stuff21:37
wizbitwget21:37
freemangordonwizbit: anyway, partition your uSD to have 2GB of swap partition21:37
freemangordonalong the other(s)21:37
wizbitace21:37
DocScrutinizer05yes, that can't hurt21:37
wizbithow much ram does a n900 have21:37
freemangordon256MB21:37
DocScrutinizer05though 2GB is insane21:37
wizbit512MB should be ok for swap21:37
freemangordonno, it is not, because of the fragmentation21:37
wizbitdouble the ram size21:38
DocScrutinizer05you're aware that swap eats ram, are you?21:38
wizbitnope?!21:38
wizbiti thought it does the reverse21:38
keriooh shit you're losing 2 more kb21:38
freemangordonyes, it eats21:38
DocScrutinizer05nope, it actually *needs* ram for some meta data21:38
wizbitDocScrutinizer05: the bigger the swap, the more ram?21:38
DocScrutinizer05yes21:38
wizbitsurely 512mb is enough21:39
freemangordonsure, but fragmentation is waaay worse than 1 MB more used21:39
DocScrutinizer05yes21:39
DocScrutinizer05or 1GB21:39
wizbitok ill do 1GB21:39
DocScrutinizer05more than 1GB is insane for sure21:39
kerioi think i either have 2 or 421:39
keriobecause i don't believe you21:39
freemangordonno, it is not, as swap gets fragmented over time21:39
wizbitis the uSD slot behind the camera?21:39
kerioand i can afford the space21:39
keriowizbit: next to21:39
wizbitok21:39
wizbittime to order a micro sd card21:39
DocScrutinizer05you actually can't even use the 768MB standard swap. System comes to a grinding halt when that much swap is actually needed21:40
freemangordonwizbit: listen to me, make it 2 GB21:40
wizbitok :-S21:40
freemangordonDocScrutinizer05: *FRAGMENTATION*21:40
DocScrutinizer05pff21:40
keriohow much ram does swap use?21:40
keriomh, my server has 32gb of ram and 16 of swap21:40
keriofor some reason21:40
freemangordonabout 4 bytes per 4k21:41
freemangordoniirc21:41
DocScrutinizer05yes, sth like 1% to 0.1%21:41

freemangordonor 8 bytes per 4 k, it was a while I looked at swap subsys in the kernel21:41
wizbit2,960 good reviews21:41
kerioi assume the bigger the swap the lesser the pro capite metadata used21:41
DocScrutinizer05so for 2GB swap partition you need 200kB to 2MB of RAM to handle it21:42
freemangordonsure, but that pays of as access is sequental most of the time21:42
freemangordon1GB quickly becomes fragmented21:42
DocScrutinizer05that's nonsense, use reswap when your swap get fragmented21:42
freemangordonthat's another story21:43
wizbitdo i really need 64gb, might get a 32gb21:43
freemangordonit is supposed to be faster21:43
DocScrutinizer05is it?21:43
keriothe 64gb one?21:43
freemangordon64gb are UHS121:44
freemangordon32 are class10 usually21:44
keriocan the n900 make use of that?21:44
DocScrutinizer05that is a poor metrics21:44
wizbitSanDisk SDSDQU-032G-U46A MicroSDHC Ultra 32 GB Class 10 UHS-I 30 MB/s with SD Adapter21:44
freemangordonkerio: I use 64GB21:44
freemangordonwizbit: mine is samsung21:44
kerioi mean the uhs121:44
DocScrutinizer05no21:44
keriocan the neo900 make use of that?21:44
freemangordonand it has random write transfer rate about 2MB/s21:45
DocScrutinizer05kerio: no21:45
freemangordonkerio: n900 can make it up to 16/18MB/s21:45
DocScrutinizer05UHS doesn't tell you much about speed of card, particularly not in N90021:46
DocScrutinizer05even classN doesn't tell the truth21:47
freemangordonsure21:47
wizbitlogically, i dont want to store too much stuff on my phone, i will change my media accordingly so im gonna go for 32gb21:47
DocScrutinizer05class4 cards reported to be faster than most class1021:47
wizbitwill i need to edit fstab to get the maemo to see it when it boots21:47
DocScrutinizer05no21:49
wizbitit will mount even if its ext3?21:49
DocScrutinizer05maemo automounts VFAT, CSSU automounts multiple partitions with virtually arbitrary fs21:49
wizbitace21:50
DocScrutinizer05maybe maemo also mounts ext3, dunno. CSSU definitely does21:50

*** MohammadAG has quit IRC22:00

RiDfreemangordon so i heard you removed 500kg heavy load out of HAM.... thumbs up!22:02
*** _rd has joined #maemo22:03
DocScrutinizer05wizbit: don't bother with swap on uSD, it's a geek thing and effect is questionable22:03
wizbitwill running thumb (in a month or so) speed everything up even more?22:03
wizbitCSSU-thumb22:03
DocScrutinizer05yes22:03
wizbitace :D22:04
keriodo bother with swap on uSD22:04
keriocuz it's totally awesome22:04
wizbiti need to peel off the plastic on the front of the n900 as it has bubbles22:04
wizbiti bought some new screen protectors22:04
DocScrutinizer05be careful!22:04
wizbiti think the glass will scratch otherwise?22:05
kerioenter your bathroom22:05
keriorun some hot water22:05
RiDwizbit plastic22:05
wizbityep22:05
wizbitor they designed so you can peel them off and replace them22:05
DocScrutinizer05I never used protectors, but then I also don't carry the N900 in my pocket together with keys or gardening tools22:05
wizbitok22:05

RiDi scroll with my nails22:06
* RiD runs22:06

*** MohammadAG has joined #maemo22:07

DocScrutinizer05possible22:07
RiDwizbit it does... a little bit22:07
DocScrutinizer05but usually they don't22:07
DocScrutinizer05not much at least22:07
*** okias has quit IRC22:07
RiDyeah, it's just that i you're used to using it without22:08
DocScrutinizer05I recently got me matte ones which actually feel and look cool22:08
DocScrutinizer05didn't use them yet though22:08
RiDi like how with the screen protector the fingers slides better when the screen isn't 100% clean22:08
RiDslide*22:09
bencohkeeping it with keys isnt a good idea ... mine suffered from it until I bought a protector22:09
wizbitim using opera as my browser, awesome22:09
wizbitwas thinking about trying firefox n900 version22:09
RiDi find the stock browser still the best in most cases22:09
keriomicrob best b22:09
RiDadblock addon is kinda cool... but it hogs the poor thing22:10
kerioi use a css thing22:10
DocScrutinizer05steer clear of adblock!22:10
wizbitfirefox feennec22:10
DocScrutinizer05scanning the 10MB of blacklist takes longer than downloading and rendering the worst ads22:10
bencoh:]22:11
DocScrutinizer05and it eats RAM like mad22:11
RiDis there some sort of alternative?22:11
RiDother than not visit pages full of ads lol22:12
DocScrutinizer05err, you could use some etc/hosts entries for the worst crap22:12
DocScrutinizer05or use a proxy that does the filtering for you offline22:12
RiDhard to figure out what is the worst crap22:12
RiDbut maybe i could block the most common ones22:12
wizbitthe 2 most common tools i will use is: browser, media player22:13
wizbitdo you all use the built in media player? or are there better alternatives22:13
DocScrutinizer05many prefer OM22:13
RiDi only use rockbox22:13
DocScrutinizer05OMP even22:13
RiDwell for music lol22:13
wizbitright ok22:14
wizbithttp://wiki.maemo.org/Open_Media_Player22:14
DocScrutinizer05the built-in player has an abysmal GUI in my book, nevertheless I use it for everything22:14

wizbitafter that clean it up then backup22:15
DocScrutinizer05ouch!22:15
kerio?22:16
DocScrutinizer05why not doing a backup *before* you start such experiments?22:16

DocScrutinizer05that been like 3 years ago22:18

DocScrutinizer05no need to reflash since then, I got BM backups22:18

DocScrutinizer05actually, lemme rethink. Make that "ZERO", since I cloned my old N900 to the new one, with BM22:19
*** Luke-Jr has joined #maemo22:19
RiDtechnically you reflashed22:20
DocScrutinizer05technically yes22:21
DocScrutinizer05except kernel22:21
wizbitshould i use the Community SSU devel repro or Maemo Extras-Devel repro for OMP?22:21
