KilrooI had an entertaining dream.01:44
KilrooIt had a weird phone in it.01:44
KilrooIt pretty much seemed to be an N9, running Maemo 5 but with the N9 feed screen as one of its desktops, and with a hardware keyboard Other Half.01:45
KilrooIt was a lot more fun than the next dream which was about an upcoming project at work going horribly horribly wrong.01:46

Ashley`backupmenu + robbiethe1st.afraid.org/BackupMenu/complete_image/04:25
*** drawkula has joined #maemo04:25
DocScrutinizer05Ashley`: yup, that's probably a very good way. However take care to not mess up your root image when installing BM. Once you are in a bootloop you will have real troubles escaping that, without a working USB04:39
DocScrutinizer05so maybe you first use WiFi and a sck or sftp to copy all your relevant stuff to another box04:39
DocScrutinizer05~jrtools04:40
infobotrumour has it, jrtools is http://wiki.maemo.org/User:Joerg_rw/tools04:40
DocScrutinizer05^^^ might have some templates for such rsync backup04:40

infobotbackupmenu is, like, http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=6397504:48
DocScrutinizer05I 'heard' bm is in extras-testing now04:49
DocScrutinizer05there's a slightly more recent version in extras-devel though, iirc04:49
DocScrutinizer05(I recently force-promoted a few packages to make that happen)04:50
DocScrutinizer05or wait, was it "BM in extras, but a slightly more recent one in extras-testing"?04:50
DocScrutinizer05~seen robbiethe1st04:51
robbiethe1stuh04:51
DocScrutinizer05ooh! :-D04:51
infobotrobbiethe1st is currently on #maemo (5m 22s), last said: 'I mean... unless I turn it into a jammer...'.04:51
DocScrutinizer05hi robbiethe1st04:52
robbiethe1stYeah, I'm here04:52
DocScrutinizer05robbiethe1st: please check your BM packages04:52
DocScrutinizer05some may need promoting04:52
DocScrutinizer05:-)04:52
robbiethe1stI'm not sure /how/04:53
DocScrutinizer05~pkg04:53
infobotpkg is probably http://maemo.org/packages/04:53
robbiethe1stLast I tried, like 3 years ago, I couldn't for some reason04:53

DocScrutinizer05robbiethe1st: there been unmet dependencies on i2ctools. I forced those down into maemo-extras04:54
robbiethe1stUh, that's interesting04:54
robbiethe1stAn error occurred during a connection to maemo.org.04:54
robbiethe1stThe OCSP server has no status for the certificate.04:54
DocScrutinizer05don't use https: or disable OCSP04:55
DocScrutinizer05or ise another browser04:55

*** trx has joined #maemo04:57
robbiethe1stOh, it says the cert expired like 3 months ago04:57
DocScrutinizer05yes, known issue04:57
robbiethe1stalright, now I'm logged in04:58
robbiethe1stNow what?04:58
DocScrutinizer05serch for backupmenu :-)04:58
robbiethe1stNo, I mean...04:58
robbiethe1stI'm there04:58
robbiethe1stBut where is the promote button?04:58
*** Natch_b is now known as Natch04:59
robbiethe1stOh, hm04:59
robbiethe1stlooks like the version in Extras needs bootmenu04:59
DocScrutinizer05http://maemo.org/packages/package_instance/view/fremantle_extras-testing_free_i386/backupmenu/1.2.0-2/04:59
DocScrutinizer05>>Warning: This package has missing dependencies!<< :-S04:59
robbiethe1stLooks like http://maemo.org/packages/package_instance/view/fremantle_extras_free_armel/bootmenu/1.12/ has a mis-typed dependancy05:00
robbiethe1st(getbootstate)05:00
robbiethe1stshould be 1.0.35 not 1.0.38?05:01
DocScrutinizer05sorry, I'm no expert05:01
*** silviof1 has joined #maemo05:01
DocScrutinizer05seems the version in extras-devel is fine05:01
DocScrutinizer05maybe promote that one to extras-testing?05:02
DocScrutinizer05ooops, I did?05:02
DocScrutinizer05my bad05:02
DocScrutinizer05please check what's missing and promote new "fixed" version -devel to -testing, or alternatively tell me which dependencies are missing and need promotion to extras-testing to meet your dependencies05:03
robbiethe1stOK05:04
DocScrutinizer05:-)05:04
*** silviof has quit IRC05:04
DocScrutinizer05I'm fed up with such a great package lingering on in extras-devel05:04
robbiethe1stLooks like we need getbootstate straightened out05:04
robbiethe1stso05:04
DocScrutinizer05getbootstate sunds to me like a core package05:04
robbiethe1stThe version in extras-testing is from the PR1.2+05:05
DocScrutinizer05sounds*05:05
robbiethe1stthe version it's complaining about05:05
DocScrutinizer05duh!!05:05
robbiethe1stI don't understand how that works?05:05
* DocScrutinizer05 neither05:05
robbiethe1sthttp://maemo.org/packages/package_instance/view/fremantle_root_pr_armel/getbootstate/1.0.35+0m5/ vs http://maemo.org/packages/package_instance/view/fremantle_root_pr1-2_armel/getbootstate/1.0.39+0m5/05:06
DocScrutinizer05do you really need newest version of getbootstate?05:07
robbiethe1stdamned if I know; I need bootmenu05:07
robbiethe1stIt needs it05:07
DocScrutinizer05I *think* the new version should have made it from Nokia SSU repo to extras-testing and extras. But maybe it didn't. My knowledge ends there05:08
DocScrutinizer05merlin1991: ^^^ please check state of getbootstate in maemo-extras-testing and maemo-extras05:09
DocScrutinizer05merlin1991: I guess we want newest version form Nokia SSU repo in all the maemo-extras-* autobuilders, right?05:09
DocScrutinizer05anyway http://maemo.org/packages/package_instance/view/fremantle_extras_free_armel/backupmenu/1.2.0-1/ looks kinda fine :-)05:10
DocScrutinizer05robbiethe1st: ^^^05:11
DocScrutinizer05robbiethe1st: what's the exact changelog from 1.2.0-1 to 1.2.0-2 ?05:12
robbiethe1stI don't know; I didn't make it05:12
DocScrutinizer051.2.0-2 Added libpopt.so.0, removed vi swapfile .functions.sh.swp05:12
robbiethe1stI guess05:13
robbiethe1stI know there was a newer version floating around05:13
DocScrutinizer05so some "minor" changes in shell/console ?05:13
robbiethe1stI thought it was upload?05:13
robbiethe1stIt's been a frigging year05:14
robbiethe1stDo you think I remember?05:14
DocScrutinizer05no idea, really05:14
DocScrutinizer05maybe you remember the names  libpopt.so.0 vi swapfile .functions.sh.swp ?05:14
DocScrutinizer05at least what they are related to05:15
DocScrutinizer05vi sounds like shell05:15
robbiethe1stUh, that piece was just a left over swapfile from vi05:15
robbiethe1stProbably from when I edited a file on the N90005:15
DocScrutinizer05prolly the swapfile is also meant to facilitate shell?05:15
robbiethe1stvi creates a swap file whenever you edit something05:16
DocScrutinizer05aaah, so it's not any relevant *update* at all05:16
robbiethe1stThat, no05:16
robbiethe1stNot sure about libpopt.so.005:16
DocScrutinizer05http://maemo.org/packages/view/libpopt0/05:16
robbiethe1sthttp://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=1338988&postcount=119905:17
DocScrutinizer05prolly needed by some cli cmds05:17
robbiethe1stLooks like text2screen(which drives the entire GUI) updated05:17
DocScrutinizer05in shell05:17
DocScrutinizer05OUCH!05:17
DocScrutinizer05that IS a relevant update05:18
robbiethe1stand I had to fix it. That's likely the only reason I would have gone to the trouble of figuring out how to make a package again05:18
robbiethe1stYup05:18
*** norayr has quit IRC05:19
DocScrutinizer05ok, let's face it: I got NFC how to add getbootstate to extras-testing (or extras). Let's wait what merlin1991 is able to find out05:19
robbiethe1stYeah05:20
*** norayr has joined #maemo05:21
robbiethe1stIt's not like I'm not here every single evening or anything <_<05:21
robbiethe1stSo no rush on account of me05:21
*** Kabouik has quit IRC05:22
DocScrutinizer05hah05:23
DocScrutinizer05:-)05:23
DocScrutinizer05fine! Thanks a lot!05:23
robbiethe1st:P05:23
DocScrutinizer05Ashley`: install BM from maemo-extras. AIUI it should "just work" for your purposes05:24
robbiethe1stThe only thing I really should fix is the charger-script; it ends up putting crud all over the screen in terminal mode; makes it hard to do terminal stuff.05:26
robbiethe1stalso need to figure out a key for the | character05:26
DocScrutinizer05merlin1991: ######################################### tagline in red for you to spot, relevant text above #####################################################05:26
DocScrutinizer05charger script >/dev/null ?05:27
DocScrutinizer05I know ShadowJK made it a bit talkative05:28
DocScrutinizer05;-)05:28
robbiethe1stBasically05:28
robbiethe1stOr change it such that it outputs stuff via text 2 screen -- perhaps a charging "icon" in one corner05:29
DocScrutinizer05ooh, and I did a patch that I think could benefit everybody: I increased LCD backlight brightness to 100% on charger-detected05:29
robbiethe1stI thought I had that for like years05:29
DocScrutinizer05duh!05:29
DocScrutinizer05dinno, my BM might be years old ;-P05:30
robbiethe1stLikely05:30
DocScrutinizer05always worked like a charm, so no need to hop hoops to update it05:30
robbiethe1styeah05:31
DocScrutinizer05(I'm not on KP, so no shell anyway)05:31
DocScrutinizer05aiui05:31
DocScrutinizer05or maybe that's what is actually _not_ working on old BM05:32
robbiethe1stKP is needed05:32
DocScrutinizer05since thinking about it I wouldn't know why KP is needed for shell05:32
robbiethe1stfor shell05:32
DocScrutinizer05aha! :-)05:33
robbiethe1stUm, it's a kernel framebuffer thing that's needed?05:33
DocScrutinizer05I remembered correctly, only forgot the reason \o/05:33
robbiethe1stfbcon?05:33
DocScrutinizer05well, the usual menu works just fine05:33
*** maybeWTF has quit IRC05:34
DocScrutinizer05text2screen I guess05:34
robbiethe1styeah05:34
DocScrutinizer05but prolly there's no xterm/xserver05:34
robbiethe1stNope05:34
DocScrutinizer05so you resorted to fb05:34
DocScrutinizer05for shell05:34
robbiethe1stOf course; mainly because all the files have to be loaded entirely in memory for things to work right05:35
DocScrutinizer05or somesuch05:35
DocScrutinizer05:nod:05:35
robbiethe1styou can't wipe out the partition you are running off without potential issues05:35
DocScrutinizer05sure05:35
DocScrutinizer05creating a text2screen-term is probably a PITA05:36
DocScrutinizer05scrolling alone... :-o05:36
robbiethe1stThat would be... interesting05:36
DocScrutinizer05hehe05:36
DocScrutinizer05you noticed it? we're reinventing the xserver-less approach of android etc05:37
robbiethe1stEh, I thought we were reinventing the 1980's serial terminals!05:37
DocScrutinizer05where each app does its own screen management05:38
robbiethe1stor DOS05:38
DocScrutinizer05yummy, DOS on text2screen05:38
DocScrutinizer05;-P05:38
DocScrutinizer05would each command get its own text2screen patches or would we get some text2screen-cmd aka dosbox?05:39
*** jaykru has joined #maemo05:39
robbiethe1stI'm thinking that if we had more memory, running a full Maemo instance would be possible05:40
robbiethe1stJust load the whole damned thing into memory05:40
robbiethe1stX-servers be awesome05:40
DocScrutinizer05yeah, in Neo900 that's an attractive alternative05:40
DocScrutinizer05you heard we're going for 1GB RAM now?05:40

sixwheeledbeastDocScrutinizer05: robbiethe1st: after some research a while ago I found that 1.2.0-2 was made by ade and needs packages from cssu-devel. Not a good idea to promote this.10:15
DocScrutinizer05sixwheeledbeast: when it "needs packages from -devel" then those packages need promotion as well, no?10:21
sixwheeledbeastDocScrutinizer05: yes promotion to CSSU-Stable or Extras before the main package can be promoted10:23
*** janemba has quit IRC10:35
*** janemba has joined #maemo10:36
DocScrutinizer05:nod:10:52
DocScrutinizer05tried to do exactly this10:52
DocScrutinizer05now it turns out that extras-testing has a lower version of getbootstate than extras-devel. Since getbootstate is a core package, I don't see how it comes into extras-* at all, and for sure I don't know of any way to promote it10:53

Ashley`DocScrutinizer05: those are clean files11:58
kerio*i think11:58
Ashley`http://11:58
Ashley`http://robbiethe1st.afraid.org/BackupMenu/complete_image/11:58
DocScrutinizer05I start to wonder why yours also is of 2011 .oO(???)11:58
DocScrutinizer05aaah, .gz11:59
DocScrutinizer05that explains the size11:59
DocScrutinizer05I never dared to test .gz11:59
DocScrutinizer05prolly takes ages11:59
DocScrutinizer05aaaah, robbiethe1st's image12:01
Ashley`i have my images12:01
DocScrutinizer05means?12:02
Ashley`but they are not clean (they have my data)12:02
Ashley`and i want to clean my n90012:02
Ashley`before giving it to repairs man12:02
DocScrutinizer05yeah, reflashing would be the method of choice for that12:04
DocScrutinizer05but hard to do with broken USB12:04
Ashley`yeah :P12:04
Ashley`now i have to wait til my battery is full12:04
Ashley`i use battery from nokia c3-0112:04
Ashley`(not c3-00)12:04
Ashley`BL-5CT12:05
Ashley`it works (tm)12:05
DocScrutinizer05then otoh you can use dd to nuke complete /home and /12:05
DocScrutinizer05of course it won't boot after that anymore, but then you want to get USB fixed anyway12:06
DocScrutinizer05after that you can reflash and then restore your backups12:06
DocScrutinizer05for test of USB it's sufficient to connect nokia charger and then also a Linux PC and watch USB ENUM in PC's syslog12:07
Ashley`well, i'd like to keep my n900 bootable :P12:07
DocScrutinizer05you'll have a hard time then12:07
kerioeasy time12:07
keriojust flash a known-to-work bm image12:07
DocScrutinizer05to really erase all that stuff from flash12:08
DocScrutinizer05no, since bm only writes files12:08
Ashley`oh12:08
keriooh, fair enough12:08
Ashley`it does not delete?12:08
kerioinstall uboot12:08
Ashley`uboot does not work on that n90012:08
DocScrutinizer05it may even keep files that already exist and are not getting overwritten by new version12:08
kerioAshley`: it does a mkfs on the emmc, it does a rm -r on rootfs12:08
kerioDocScrutinizer05: don't be silly12:08
Ashley`thats fine12:08
DocScrutinizer05kerio: huh?12:09
keriothat means that, at least for the emmc, there's a high chance that your data is still there12:09
kerioDocScrutinizer05: that would be a completely idiotic way to do things12:09
keriobecause it doesn't restore a full backup12:09
DocScrutinizer05kerio: what do you expect from an untar?12:09
keriowhat happens if /etc/nologin is on the rootfs?12:09
kerioi expect nothing from an untar12:09
kerioi expect from backupmenu to remove the old files12:10
keriowhich it does12:10
DocScrutinizer05it doesn't afaik12:10
kerioyou k wrong12:10
DocScrutinizer05aha12:10
keriogo check the shellscript12:10
keriothe emmc is completely mkfsed12:10
DocScrutinizer05aha12:10
kerioit doesn't quite touch the ubifs because nobody knows how the fuck ubifs is supposed to wokr12:10
kerio*work12:10
keriobut it deletes the files12:11
kerioidk if ubifs will actually erase the pages, however12:11
DocScrutinizer05well, then make sure it also does a format of all empty blocks, or otherwise your data still lingers on in those12:11
kerioyeah12:11
kerioi think ubifs actually might12:11
*** cyborg-one has quit IRC12:11
keriofor performance reasons12:11
*** Venusaur has quit IRC12:11
kerio(it's better to keep as many empty pages as possible)12:11
keriothe emmc... yeah, your data is still there12:11
DocScrutinizer05:nod:12:12
DocScrutinizer05I guess you're actually right there12:12
Ashley`whatever, it is not visible xD12:12
keriorobbiethe1st should add a secure erase option to bm12:12
DocScrutinizer05ubifs is additive write, optinmized for flash, afaik12:12
kerioi think there's some kind of background process that erases unneeded pages after a while12:12
DocScrutinizer05(secure erase) sonds kinda fine12:12
kerioor something12:12
kerioi guess you could just make a bigass file full of zeroes12:13
DocScrutinizer05yes12:13
kerioalthough compression would fuck you over12:13
DocScrutinizer05...on background process12:13
DocScrutinizer05hehe12:13
keriook so12:13
keriotouch a file12:13
DocScrutinizer05for NAND you're basically screwed, unless you use special nand tools12:13
keriodisable compression12:13
kerioappend zeroes12:14
DocScrutinizer05nandtest for ex12:14
kerioyeah but then you have to remake the ubifs file system12:14
Ashley`can i uncompress that file on computer and not on n900?12:14
kerioAshley`: sure12:14
kerioit's just a gzipped tarball12:14
DocScrutinizer05I just did12:14
DocScrutinizer05err nope, I uncompressed it on a normal N900 computer ;-D12:14
Ashley`i know i can uncompress it12:15
DocScrutinizer05well, it's not compressed12:15
Ashley`but can backupmenu read from not-compressed file?12:15
DocScrutinizer05mine12:15
DocScrutinizer05sure12:15
Ashley`you know, .tar, not .tar.gz12:15
Ashley`oh12:15
Ashley`then that'll speed things a bit12:15
DocScrutinizer05yes12:15
DocScrutinizer05that's why my files are so much larger12:15
DocScrutinizer05and now I know why they are so old: I usually backup to uSD since 201112:16

Siceloquestion about wifi - for my work network, i have to use wpa_supplicant from cli becaue wlancond fails to connect. what can i do to reduce power consumption when using it this way?15:21
*** lbt has quit IRC15:22
drathirif nothing changed wlan power comsumption not works so good if good remember... i guess You could switch on the power_save mode in drivers and cut the rate of rx/tx power... butthats only my guess...15:26
Sicelowith wpa_supplicant?15:27
drathirsadly with that not much You can do i guess only leave network unsecure to little reduce power with encryption...15:29
drathirSicelo: but please wait a little for answer from ppl more know about that...15:30
Sicelohehe. i have zero control over the wifi network, and no one is interested in fixing it to let my N900 work.15:32
drathirSicelo: You have any high security settings that wifi doesnt works with default setup?15:34
drathirpersonally i would search why not want to connect in the default way...15:35

infobotit has been said that pali is http://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~pali/17:50
DocScrutinizer05Sicelo: I guess you can't do much to reduce power consumption of wpa_supplicant18:26
DocScrutinizer05use zzztop or powertop to see how much CPU usage and how many IRQs from wlan you get while idle18:27
DocScrutinizer05probably wpa_supplicant needs to decode *every* dang package no matter if addressed to you or to arbitrary other destination, just to make sure you receive the packages meant for you18:28
DocScrutinizer05afaik you are moving part of the WLAN protocol stack out of WLAN chip and to main CPU when using wpa_supplicant18:29
*** rcg has quit IRC18:47
drathirDocScrutinizer05: is any easy way to check wifi antenna in n900 than buying new one? pins cleaned...18:48
DocScrutinizer05hmmm18:48
DocScrutinizer05check the C-springs18:49
DocScrutinizer05on PCB18:49
* drathir not sure if only antenna is damaged...18:49
drathirok thanks i find them and check too...18:49
DocScrutinizer05antenna hardly can get damaged without clear externally visible scratches or cracks18:50
DocScrutinizer05they are pushing on the antenna contact pads18:50
DocScrutinizer05actually schaped like a V rather than a C18:50
drathirDocScrutinizer05: Yes have scratch that why i wish only antenna damaged...18:50
DocScrutinizer05pretty likely18:51
DocScrutinizer05get a new one18:51
drathirneed to check if that parts are expensive...18:52
DocScrutinizer05when you got a dip-meter you can check resonance frequency of the antenna. You need to ground it via 50 Ohm for that, on one pad, and directly to ground on the other18:52
DocScrutinizer05a few bucks, but not easy to find (spare antenna)18:52
DocScrutinizer05or or try to fix the scratch. The antenna is made of metalized sticky paper glued to the plastic (I guess). A thin scratch probably can break the thin metal layer18:54
drathiryes cu is undercovered with no black secure tape on it...19:02
drathirgps/umts/3g works w/o problems19:02
drathirbut i guess its on the second one antenna...19:03
drathirscratch is direct on the wifi connector pins position where case of phone ending and antenna become visable...19:07
drathirhttp://allegro.pl/nowa-oryginalna-antena-gps-nokia-n900-poznan-fv23-i4412064835.html i guess that both of them...19:07
