Gh0styhello I was wondering ...00:09
Gh0styit's possible to run the n900 as mifi device (sharing 3G over wifi)00:10
Gh0stybut from what I read it's the same as most other linuxes ... it only supports WEP encryption?00:11
honestlyas far as I know, yes.00:12
honestlyyou can also share 3G via usb.00:12
Gh0styjust for my interest but why do android phones support wpa2 accesspoint mode00:12
Gh0stybut thinks like an n900 or for example my laptop don't ? :/00:13
Gh0stysomething to do with the driver or is that even a feature that needs hardware support?00:13

DocScrutinizer05who says N900 doesn't support WPA?00:20
*** Luke-Jr has quit IRC00:20
DocScrutinizer05not saysing that it does. Just wondering why you think it doesn't00:20
honestlythere are no mobile hotspot apps offering it (:00:21
*** Luke-Jr has joined #maemo00:21
DocScrutinizer05it supports WLA(2) for normal (infrastructure) mode device00:21
DocScrutinizer05WPA00:22
*** _rd has quit IRC00:23
DocScrutinizer05it's quite possible that the chip doesn't support WPA AP mode, actaully I think the chip doesn't support genuine AP mode at all, it's an emulated AP mode. So you would have to emulate WPA as well, which aiui is what WPA-supplicant is made fore00:23
DocScrutinizer05-e00:23
*** _rd has joined #maemo00:23
*** _rd has quit IRC00:24
DocScrutinizer05iirc it emulates infrastructure AP by exploiting AdHoc mode which by design can't use WPA. At least that's my take on it00:25
DocScrutinizer05so when the chip doesn't support WPA but WEP for AdHoc, it's what the emulated AP mode will support too, as long as you don't emulate WPA AP in software, which should be perfectly possible00:27
*** xes has quit IRC00:30
ShadowJKit's ad-hoc mode, not ap mode00:36
ShadowJKrecent androids don't supprot ad-hoc btw00:36
DocScrutinizer05that's what I said. AdHoc mode simmulating AP mode00:43
Gh0styah yes00:44
Gh0styindeed that was one of the problems00:44
Gh0stythat it's doing ad-hoc so no android device can connect :/00:44
DocScrutinizer05and AdHoc only can do WEP, by principle of operation I guess00:44
Gh0stythink it's the same with my laptop00:44
Gh0styfor infrastructure mode the hardware needs to be better? :/00:44
DocScrutinizer05not better, just different00:45
Gh0stywell yes :p00:45
DocScrutinizer05actually probably only the firmware needs to be different00:45
DocScrutinizer05the firmware we got doesn't support AP00:45
Gh0styah the firmware is not open from that part of the phone? :/00:45
DocScrutinizer05but it supports injection :-)00:46
DocScrutinizer05the firmware of the chip, not the linux system of the phone00:46
DocScrutinizer05aiui injection is a sort of "raw" mode that allows you to send whatever you like. So it *can* do proper AP mode when you write (or find) a FOSS software that does the encoding and protocol stack00:47
honestlyprobably not too hard, just a lot of work.00:48
DocScrutinizer05cave: this will keep the APE CPU busy and eat your battery like candy00:48
Gh0styso in other words00:48
honestlyom nom electrons.00:48
Gh0styI will just buy one of those huawei toys :p00:49
Gh0styif it was easy enough the n900 could still have a purpose but now ... :)00:49
Gh0stynot sure, still sits in the drawer :/00:49
honestlysend it to me for when mine croaks >_>00:50
Gh0stywell the led controller of mine is acting funky00:50
Gh0styone of the reasons why i bought myself an nexus 500:50
Gh0stynot too happy with that one either but ...00:50
DocScrutinizer05o.O00:50
DocScrutinizer05funny?00:50
javispedrohm, softapd to the request?00:50
javispedro*to the rescue :)00:51

DocScrutinizer05hi!!!00:51
javispedrohi!00:51

DocScrutinizer05javispedro: how about coding competition?00:59
DocScrutinizer05or about joining the FPTF team?00:59
DocScrutinizer05I heard rumors that some weirdo wants to promise a prize of 1000EUR for a fremantle based on open source only and capable to forward cmtspeech audio to an USB attached audiocard instead of modem01:01
DocScrutinizer05;-)01:01
javispedroah well :)01:02
javispedroif I had the time a systemd-free distro is on the top of my list for now :)01:02
DocScrutinizer05further conditions allegedly are: binary compatibility to maemo-extras packages, semi-decent power management01:02
DocScrutinizer05aiui http://www.omappedia.com/wiki/Maemo_Getting_Started is already halfway tehre, maybe even further01:03
DocScrutinizer05I think your understanding of how audio/mixer on N900 works would help a lot on achieving the cmtspeech goal01:04
*** shentey has quit IRC01:05
*** hubutm20 has quit IRC01:05
DocScrutinizer05(sidenote: it's allowed to import closed blobs from an existing fremantle installation, so the developer has such a system at hand. This wouldn't disqualify the solution)01:07
*** remarc_ has joined #maemo01:07
DocScrutinizer05above rule doesn't apply for kernel01:07
javispedroas of lately I have more time and I'm more on this channel, so feel free to ask01:08
DocScrutinizer05well, obviously kernel isn't a closed blob on fremantle, so nevermind01:08
DocScrutinizer05teams are allowed, the price will get shared on discretion of those who decide, and might even get upgraded01:09
DocScrutinizer05prize :-S01:09
*** remarc has quit IRC01:11
*** remarc_ is now known as remarc01:11
DocScrutinizer05It occurred to me, a possible approach for audio (last resort) would be to treat the USB audio card as a SIP telephony account and just convert RTP to plain S16LE datastream to feed to the card01:11
honestlyugh, this is getting ridiculous01:12
DocScrutinizer05but of course a genuine modem ("phone") account for the voicecalls would be preferred01:12
DocScrutinizer05honestly: honestly?01:12
honestlyhonestly01:12
honestlymy n900 just won't charge properly anymore01:12
DocScrutinizer05elaborate!01:12
nox-doesnt that recorder app already record calls too?01:12
DocScrutinizer05nox-: yep01:13
DocScrutinizer05nox-: and javispedro understands how it does01:13
nox-ah01:13
DocScrutinizer05I don't01:13
honestlythere must be a loose contact somewhere01:13
DocScrutinizer05honestly: check springs in battery01:13
honestlyhuh.01:14
honestlyokay.01:14
DocScrutinizer05you can gently bend them to "close"01:14
honestlythat's a new one01:14
DocScrutinizer05using a needle or somesuch tool01:14
honestlyseems like the battery is sitting in there very solidly01:15
DocScrutinizer05sure, it does01:15
DocScrutinizer05not the springs in phone holding the battery01:15
honestlyoh, I see01:15
DocScrutinizer05the tiny golden critters in the battery's slots01:15
honestlyright01:15
DocScrutinizer05abusing them makes them gap open01:16
DocScrutinizer05e.g by charging battery in external charger with thicker contact blades01:16
DocScrutinizer05take care not to short anything when you stirr in there with a needle01:17
honestlyI haven't done any abusing like that01:17
honestlyyeah.01:17
DocScrutinizer05visual control is OK. Lemme find a photo of a proper contact spring01:18
honestlyoh, the phone had turned off due to low battery.01:18
honestlyis it possible that it stayed in low-current emergency charging mode?01:18

ApicHi.12:20
Apicoot@quartz:/home/apic/MyDocs/Debootstrap# apt-get -mf install aptitude12:20

SiceloApic: what exactly are you trying to do/achieve?12:29
ApicI want to install patitude12:29
Apicaptitude12:29
Iridososso? that sounds like maemo, not debian12:30
ApicSo it can automagically resolv Stuff for me which apt-get cannot.12:30
ApicI have a Maemo Base System installed12:30
Iridosops,  I am in #maemo :P  sorry, thought I was in a different channel, my fault12:30
Siceloyou'll end up with a seriously broken Maem12:30
ApicBut added plain Debian to /etc/apt/sources.list.de12:30
ApicOk.12:30
Sicelo*Maemo12:30
ApicSo i cannot install aptitude at all without Breakage?12:31
ApicThen i would like at least debootstrap12:31
dos1maemo + plain debian? won't work...12:31
ApicSo i can set up a chroot Jail on a ext3 Image12:31
ApicOk12:31
ApicThen i'll remove it from apt/12:31
ApicThanks.12:31
dos1but aptitude from maemo repos should12:31
dos1(at least to some extend, ncurses ui seems to segfault here)12:32
Apicroot@quartz:~# apt-get update && yes|apt-get dist-upgrade12:32
ApicOk12:32
Sicelodebootstrap from debian does work on Maemo.. if you really need that, just install the deb. don't use debian repos12:32
ApicSo how can i install debootstrap? Or shall i rather use my host Laptop with a QEMU-VM?12:32
ApicOk, i'll try to install the .deb12:32
dos1but if apt-get cannot resolve dependences, then probably something is broken and aptitude is not likely a proper solution12:33
Siceloi have 1.0.3812:33
dos1and on maemo, you should refrain from "apt-get dist-upgrade" and similar - some maemo specific packages may expect to be installed via HAM and work incorrectly otherwiseHAM12:34
Siceloand btw Apic .. apt-get is not even recommended on Maemo.. use the built-in application manager as much as possible12:34
Siceloah, yes dos1 :)12:34
ApicSicelo: Of what?12:34
dos1and apt-get/aptitude may decide that some essential package is not used anymore and remove it12:34
Siceloof?12:34
Sicelo1.0.38 ... debootstrap version12:35
dos1afair there is a popular problem with voip support being automatically removed by apt-get12:35
Siceloby the way, what do you intend to do with the system installed via debootstrap?12:36
ApicNow i'm using Program Manager „aktualisieren“ (in German - means Update)12:37
ApicI want to do _everything_ Debian can12:37
Apicgcc, emacs, mc, nethack, screen, …12:37
Apicbsdgames, bsdgames-nonfree, other Games…12:37
ApicMaybe even CLANG12:38
ApicMaybe sometime in the Future some Lisp, Forth, Erlang, Haskell…12:38
Sicelomost likely EasyDebian is what you need12:38
ApicGIMP, LibreOffice, …12:38
Siceloalready provides most of what you want12:39
ApicI tried EasyDeb like 23 Times and trashed it everytime12:39
ApicIt does not even do ionice -c 3 nice12:39
ApicSo it blocks the whole System12:39
ApicEspecially when unpacking12:39
ApicAnd it's helluva outdated12:39
ApicI12:39
Sicelomine been working fine. just installed htop in it a few minutes ago12:39
ApicI once had a very good own Debian Chroot with debootstrap running12:39
ApicThen it magically broke12:39
ApicSo i'll try to set up a new good one now.12:40
Siceloif you want up-to-date debian, the you'll need a newer kernel as well... therefore, you'll need to boot into that debian. depends how confident you feel about that, but that even the  best option12:41
Siceloof course, you can still break your maemo if you want.. after all, you can always reflash ;)12:41
ApicI'll use Stable instead of Testing then12:43
ApicI'll get debootstrap-udeb_1.0.60~bpo70+1_all.udeb from the Pool now…  will that work out?12:44
Siceloi don't know. i have a lower version than that12:45
Sicelomayb you need regular deb even.. not sure12:46
Apicic12:46
ApicThen i'll use  debootstrap_1.0.26+squeeze1.tar.gz12:46
ApicI'll be AFIRC for a while, playing Hedgewars12:47

DocScrutinizer05so I'd think the device resets on kernel panic when actually needing swap which is somehow broken/flawed20:28
wizbitill paste my start-up script20:28
DocScrutinizer05unrealted to the app which causes incrased RAM usage and thus swap need20:28
DocScrutinizer05unrelated20:29
wizbithttp://dpaste.com/0VE78AZ.txt  that is my startup script20:30
wizbitinside /etc/event.d20:30
wizbitDocScrutinizer05: first ill make my phone use internal swap20:31
wizbitsee if that makes a difference20:31
DocScrutinizer05well, what can I say. looks good. *IF* those swap aprtitions are actually existing and correct and formatted20:31
wizbitstrangely my fstab still shows the old swap file20:32
wizbit/dev/mmcblk0p3 none swap sw 0 020:32
DocScrutinizer05you're aware that you need a mkswap ?20:32
wizbityep i did that20:32
wizbitbut will redo it20:32
wizbitjust incase20:32
DocScrutinizer05fstab is autogenerated during each boot, and doesn't know of your swap swap20:33
wizbitDocScrutinizer05: should swap appear as the first partition or the last partition on the SSD card20:33
wizbitor doesnt it matter20:33
DocScrutinizer05*shrug*  don't think that makes much difference - for the swap20:34
wizbitok20:34
DocScrutinizer05for general usability I'd put it last20:34
wizbitSetting up swapspace version 1, size = 1999990784 bytes20:35
wizbitmaybe i forgot to do that before :S20:36
wizbitcat /proc/swap20:36
wizbit/dev/mmcblk1p2                          partition       1953112 0       -120:36
wizbitseems to be working manually now20:36
wizbitDocScrutinizer05: should be startup script have a 60 second delay?20:37
wizbit*my20:37
DocScrutinizer05prolly not20:37
DocScrutinizer05but honestly, I think there are at least half a dozen prove-to-work implementations of alternative swap on N900. I don't feel like debugging the N+1'th20:39
wizbitgot lots of apps open now20:39
wizbitstable so far20:39
wizbitbefore it was a instant restart20:39
*** spoofy has joined #maemo20:39
wizbiti must of forgot to do mkswap20:40
wizbitso it wasnt writing to the swap properly20:40
DocScrutinizer05prolly20:40
wizbitDocScrutinizer05: is my method of creating a startup-script to initialize the swap the correct way to do it?20:41
wizbithttp://dpaste.com/0VE78AZ.txt20:42
wizbitwhat file can i edit so fstab shows the correct swap at boottime?20:42
wizbitthen i wouldnt need to swap on and swap off20:43
DocScrutinizer05I don't know. please refer to existing solutions20:43
wizbitok20:43
wizbitseems stable now20:43
DocScrutinizer05it's not fstab defining the mounts, it's preinit and rcs doing mounts and fstab gets generated to match the existing mounts - more or less20:45
DocScrutinizer05maemo is pretty fsckd up regarding fstab and mounting20:46
DocScrutinizer05there's an awk script that gets called to build fstab, *after* everything got mounted20:46
DocScrutinizer05iirc CSSU has an improved awk script and even a way to not autobuild fstab during boot20:47
wizbit/etc/event.d/rcS-late is the best solution20:47
DocScrutinizer05take all of the above with a grain of salt, I didn't look into this stuff for literally years20:48
wizbitit works!!!!20:49
wizbitafter a reboot20:49

wizbitdam it just restarted again20:52
wizbitarghghghghghg20:52
dos1damn it20:53
wizbitmaybe something wrong with the actual partitions i created with cfdisk20:53
dos1I have one bl-4j battery20:53
wizbitcould the battery cause restarts?20:54
dos1and when I slide the keyboard too fast it restarts :<20:54
dos1on standard bl-5j's it doesn't happen20:54
dos1annoying20:55
wizbitim replacing the battery20:55
dos1hah, you were talking about restarts as well? :D20:55
wizbitwith standard one see if it makes a differnce20:55
dos1my post was unrelated - just got angry at my device that just restarted ;)20:55
*** japa-fi has joined #maemo20:57
dos1my restart is easily reproductible and happens exactly when sliding out the keyboard fast20:57
dos1probably it makes some battery contact to loose a bit due to it being a bit smaller than it should be20:57
*** mavhc has quit IRC20:58
DocScrutinizer05exactly20:59
keriowhy are you using a 4j instead of a 5j20:59
keriowhy would anyone go for a smaller battery instead of a bigger one?20:59
DocScrutinizer05exactly ;-P20:59
dos1I got it with some other phone, and I have no USB on N90021:00
DocScrutinizer05use a 2 layers of paper in the notch of the battery in center of conatct side21:00
dos1so when 5j goes flat, I replace it with 4j and charge 5j with some old nokia with broken screen :P21:00
wizbiti had a akkro polarcell in mine stuck a bl-5j in it now21:00
wizbitno difference just restarted :(21:01
DocScrutinizer05sure21:01
dos1actually I have second 5j somewhere as well, so this 4j here is rather temporary until I overcome my laziness and try to find it :P21:01
wizbiti will use internal swap for a while now21:01

FIQthe 4j actually works inserting in N900 like that?21:06
FIQI thought you needed a specific nokia battery for each model (well, almost)21:06
FIQor is it only a matter of sizes?21:07
ecc3git should be just sizes, they're all Li-ion cells inside plus that size indication resistor...21:08
ecc3gjust hope that the pinout remains the same.21:09

FIQmy N900 screen broke21:10
FIQit's trivial to fix, but meh21:10
FIQnot willing to do it when it's going to fall apart in any second anyway given its current state otherwise21:10

wizbitthe n900 will crash if i use swap on the sd card23:26
wizbitcould it be my sd card is too slow23:26
*** Snafu777 has left #maemo23:26
ecc3gmy n900 will crash with swap on sd, and I open the back cover...23:27
wizbitim using cfdisk to partition it23:27
wizbitmaybe thats the problem23:27
dos1ecc3g: well, sd becomes unavailable when back cover is open, so that would be expected :P23:30
