wizbitmaybe swap should be on /dev/mmcblk1p215:05
DocScrutinizer05system swaps names of mmcblk1 and mmcblk0 during boot15:05
DocScrutinizer05sometimes15:05
*** auenf has quit IRC15:05
DocScrutinizer05but yeah, usually mmcblk0 is internal eMMC which you MUST NOT touch15:07

DocScrutinizer05this time for real15:07
DocScrutinizer05well15:07

wizbitDocScrutinizer05: do i need to turn off the existing swap15:10
wizbitbefore i swapon the partition15:10
wizbitim not touching eMMC15:10
DocScrutinizer05no, you shouldn't turn of swap before turning on alternative swap. You are supposed to turn off "old" swap *after* new swap got enabled15:12

DocScrutinizer05WRONG15:27
DocScrutinizer05see above15:27
*** lizardo has joined #maemo15:27
*** auenf has quit IRC15:28
DocScrutinizer05what is your system supposed to do after swapoff? I tell you what it's going to do: it suspends all preloaded apps to free up RAM so system can still kinda work after swapoff15:29
DocScrutinizer05this is a very pathological state for your system15:29
DocScrutinizer05and will take quite a while (up to a few minutes) to complete, and only after it completed swapoff will return so swapon will add available virtual memory to system again15:30
DocScrutinizer05kudos to hildon desktop for handling all this, other systems quite possibly would simply blow chunks15:31
DocScrutinizer05swapon /dev/mmcblk1p2 && swapoff /dev/mmcblk0p315:32
DocScrutinizer05THIS makes perfect sense15:32
wizbiteek my phone wont boot now :/15:32
*** LauRoman has quit IRC15:32
DocScrutinizer05I'm not surprised15:32
wizbitshit :(15:32
*** Milhouse has quit IRC15:33
wizbitgot it to boot phew15:34
*** okias has joined #maemo15:34
wizbitok turn on the other swap BEFORE i turn off the other15:35
*** LauRoman has joined #maemo15:35
wizbitDocScrutinizer05: i have created this startup-script inside /etc/event.d/15:36
wizbithttp://dpaste.com/123RR90/15:36
wizbitdoes that look ok?15:36
wizbiti added this to the script: echo 30 > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness15:39
*** LauRoman has quit IRC15:42
DocScrutinizer05wizbit: this script looks nonsensical since it's not linked to any other event during bootup15:42
wizbit/etc/event.d/rcS-late15:44
DocScrutinizer05I got no clue how upstart *really* works in detail, but if I had to geuss, i'd say such script gets started before or in parallel with any other non-conditional script, *very* early during boot, when neither mounting of original swap nor renaming of mmcblk1 vs 0 has already happened (possibly)15:45
wizbiti changed the swap -a line to swapon /etc/event.d/rcS-late15:45
wizbitswapon /dev/mmcblk1p215:45
wizbiti mean!15:45
*** LauRoman has joined #maemo15:45
DocScrutinizer05that sounds *much* beter15:45
wizbitit worked!!!15:45
wizbit/dev/mmcblk1p2                          partition       1953112 0       -115:45
wizbitas long as i reboot the phone every now and again i dont have to worry about swap fragmentation15:47
DocScrutinizer05meh. A "swapon /dev/mmcblk0p3 && swapoff /dev/mmcblk1p2 && swapon /dev/mmcblk1p2 && swapoff /dev/mmcblk0p3" every now and then will do as well15:51
wizbitaye ok!15:52
DocScrutinizer05or simply use any of the several reswap tools15:52
wizbitcould create a mini, swap-refresh.sh script15:52
DocScrutinizer05that's what ereswap etc does15:53
wizbitaye ok15:53
wizbiti found another cool feature15:53
wizbitmy alarm clock went off on the n900 this morningm then it said what would you like to turn the phone on15:53
wizbithow cool15:53
wizbitit must of been in sleep mode15:53
wizbitam i right in thinking that the alarm clock still works even in sleep mode?15:54
DocScrutinizer05it even works in off mode15:54
wizbitjeeeeze15:54
DocScrutinizer05it's a true cmos clock alarm15:54
wizbitbut how? its off15:54
wizbitcooool15:54
DocScrutinizer05you could create a tool that powers up N900 once per month, does something, and goes back to powered down state after 5 minutes. This could run for a year or longer, depending on self discharge of battery15:56
DocScrutinizer05alas a broken bupbat will cause cmos clock to forget any alarm that been set up, when you swap battery15:57
DocScrutinizer05~bupbat15:57
infobotwell, bupbat is use the capacitive type, LiIon are breaking during 12 months, or http://www.digikey.de/product-detail/de/PAS414HR-VG1/587-2157-1-ND/1959153, or https://hbe-shop.de/Art-2112777-TAIYO-YUDEN-PAS414HR-VA5R-KONDENSATOR006F-33V-STAKED-COIN, or http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=9086415:57

kerioyeah, rcS-late is a fucking mess19:20
DocScrutinizer05and it lacks any proper signaling via indicator LED to user, before "fsck.ext3 -y $HOME_DEV >> /var/lib/fsck_ext3_home.log 2>&1" - which by itself is also quite braindead, at least for logging to /var/lib if nothing else19:21
kerioi think you said that already19:22
DocScrutinizer05I wonder how hard it can be to add a few "echo $pattern >/sys/class/i2c-adapter/i2c-2/2-0032/engine1_mode" etc19:24

DocScrutinizer05damn! vibrator output is bitbang-PWMed20:11
DocScrutinizer05which is kinda nice and funny to listen and feel CPU clock frequency, but otherwise gives you pretty weird user experience20:12
DocScrutinizer05real fun: echo 100 >/sys/class/leds/twl4030\:vibrator/brightness20:13
DocScrutinizer05do that via wlan ssh on a locked&idle device20:13
DocScrutinizer05NB that any vibra-kicj from MCE for touch event or keypress resets vibra to what would be a "echo 0 >/sys/class/leds/twl4030\:vibrator/brightness"20:14
DocScrutinizer05kick*20:14
DocScrutinizer05so all the weirdness you hear and feel when doing the above via ssh from remote is actually just system itself aka CPU going to clock down to zero and leaving output stale at either full power or zero20:16
DocScrutinizer05while as long as CPU runs it does proper PWM and vibra runs at 40%20:16
DocScrutinizer05thus you see vibra doing a pseudo-random pattern between idle, 40% and 100% operation20:17
DocScrutinizer05I bet TI chip engineers didn't think about system wide zero-clock when designing the TWL4030 vibra output20:19
ShadowJKI've experienced random prolonged haptic vibrate during extreme system load :)20:20
DocScrutinizer05yeah, when MCE gets delayed then that's expected20:21
DocScrutinizer05however PWM(!) stalling is sth I find a bit ... puzzling20:22
DocScrutinizer05I even think PWM is done by a dedicated timer inside TWL4030, no?20:22
DocScrutinizer05for this timer to go stale, I think the system wide clock-request signal shutting down the main oscillator for CPU (et al) clock is the only explanation20:23
DocScrutinizer05(if there's actually such timer)20:23

bencoh"vibrator/brightness" uuuh :]20:25
DocScrutinizer05hehe20:25
DocScrutinizer05yeah, for the kernel dudes all output is a LED20:26
bencoh:)20:26
bencohLEDs everywhere20:26
DocScrutinizer05they obviously have poor imaginative skills20:26
DocScrutinizer05s./skills/power/20:26
DocScrutinizer05the problem is: they use one driver for IO, and that driver been written and named with a LED in mind. Pathetic20:28
DocScrutinizer05when you design a generic driver meant to get used as template for everything, you rather use a range of 0 .. 100.00% instead of 0 .. 255, and you write that to a sysnode named "power" rather than "brightness"20:30
bencoh0 .. 255 is fine with me :]20:31
bencohbut "brightness" really is fun20:31
DocScrutinizer05maybe with you, but not with me when the PWM hardware can do 16bit and not only 8bit20:31
DocScrutinizer05generic range is 0% .. 100%20:32
DocScrutinizer05not some fux0red 0..25520:32
DocScrutinizer05of course you leave out the "%" in sysnode value20:32
bencohhmm true pwm can be in 1620:34
*** okias has joined #maemo20:34
DocScrutinizer05only valid alternatives where 0.0000 .. 1.00000000  and the other few commonly used metrics 0/00 and PPM20:34
DocScrutinizer05bencoh: PWM also can be in 6, 10, 12, 15,...20:39
DocScrutinizer05and for software-bitbanged PWM it can be any arbitrary resolution up to the theoretical limits of system timing precision20:40

ShadowJKDocScrutinizer05; I wonder if there's lots of interrupt disable in mmc code, and I wonder if cpu can go sleep in middle of ongoing vibra event21:32
DocScrutinizer05echo active > /sys/devices/platform/gpio-switch/sleep_ind/state21:32
DocScrutinizer05will answer the 2nd question at least21:33
DocScrutinizer05btw why mmc code?21:34

KabouikHey guys, my (elder !) father just purchased a Samsung Rex 60. I don't know that phone, but it seems like a terrible choice at first look. Do you confirm? Is an Asha the best choice in that price range (50€) for someone who will not use internet or any smartphone feature? (Asked the same question on #Harmattan)21:39
DocScrutinizer05no idea. Are you sure this is the right channel?21:40
*** LjL-Laplet2 has quit IRC21:40
KabouikWell it's kind of off-topic, but I think it's relevant to ask to people using the same phones as me, and generally acknowledging the pros good old phones with nice UIs21:41
Kabouikof*21:41
*** sq-one has joined #maemo21:41
DocScrutinizer05hmm, maybe only few of us actually use anything else besides those good old phones21:42
DocScrutinizer05I for one neither know Asha nor Rex6021:42
KabouikOk, I just thought I'd ask because some among us TMO-users are really good at trying many phones. I don't know many IRC communities about phones so I just tried here21:44
