IRC log of #maemo for Monday, 2014-07-21

freemangordonchem|st: the point is that BMO is essentially unusable as of now, I am afraid if this is not fixed in a timely manner, noone will use BMO again. when it becomes fixed00:31
*** Tekk_ has joined #maemo00:32
Tekk_is ovi maps supposed to be incredibly slow to load?00:32
Tekk_it's been sitting on the splash for 5 minutes now at least00:33
freemangordonchem|st: maybe that CaCerts (whatever it is) could be used as a temporarily solution. I guess even a self-signed certificate will be better00:33

chem|stfreemangordon: mail techstaff01:03
Win7Macwhy would it be funny to send a mail to techstaff@mo?01:03
freemangordonbecause I am on the same mailing list, being a part of the techstaff ;). So I somehow expect to be able to talk to warfare and xes (our sysops) on the IRC01:04
chem|sttrue01:05
freemangordonhowever, both seem to be on a holiday, so I don't think they will start to tweak the infra with bad inet access01:06
freemangordonfor sure xes is01:06

DocScrutinizer05marble even recorded voices for fremantle11:14
DocScrutinizer05I'd be way more interested in any of them opening with POI set to the address I just clicked in contacts11:17
SiceloTekk_: and Ovi Maps :P11:17
SiceloBlaizzen & others on TMO did it.. wfm11:17
Tekk_Sicelo: ovi maps doesn't work for me11:17
Tekk_doesn't seem to anyway11:17
Siceloah, yes. sorry11:17
Tekk_it stayed on the splash screen for over 10 minutes before I killed it :P11:17
Tekk_plus it doesn't do voice navigation (at least according to the wiki)11:17
DocScrutinizer05not without a hack11:18
*** N-Mi has joined #maemo11:18
Sicelothe hack works very well. Ovi Maps is the *only* maps I use (having tried the others)11:18
SiceloTekk_: i wonder if something else is not also broken on your device :p11:19
Tekk_Sicelo: could be11:19
Tekk_but I don't see breakage with anything else11:19
DocScrutinizer05I think ovi maps server is dead, or zombie, or whatever11:25
Sicelohmm, but Tekk_'s problem is on-device, i think11:26
Tekk_yeah, it's definitely an on-device thing11:26
Tekk_I think11:26
DocScrutinizer05and I wonder how long nokia supl will continue to work (if it still does)11:26
DocScrutinizer05you think?11:26
Sicelomy Ovi Maps is still working.. have just opened it now, and SUPL too11:27
DocScrutinizer05I think maps takes ages until it starts because it needs to connect to server11:27
DocScrutinizer05Tekk_: go offline, then try maps again11:28
Sicelothe one thing which i *know* is broken is the location of the maps files .. what happened is the dns name changed, and Ovi Maps still looks for Maps in old place.11:28
Sicelohowever, if the users doesn't have maps on device already, Ovi Maps *should* open, but be blank11:29
DocScrutinizer05which would sufficiently explan why ,aps is failing11:29
Tekk_offline as in offline mode?11:29
Tekk_would've thought that disables gps11:29
Tekk_or just turn off the internet connection?11:29
Siceloif that's the reason, he can easily try this:11:29
Siceloget a windows machine, install the latest ovi suite/whatever name.. that should give him maps11:30
Sicelothat's how i updated mine recently11:30
DocScrutinizer05right, offline it shows a warning, an eula (on first start) then goes completely blank and bogus11:30
DocScrutinizer05((<Tekk_> would've thought that disables gps)) huh?11:31
Tekk_offline mode. I thought it would disable all radios11:31
DocScrutinizer05GPS is no active RF technology. The device doesn't send to the sats ;-P11:32
Tekk_okay, well...11:32
Tekk_tried to start it11:32
Tekk_been loading for about 3 minutes now..11:32
DocScrutinizer05in offline mode?11:32
Tekk_yeah11:32
DocScrutinizer05that's terribly odd11:33
Veggenuhm...offline mode as in "airplane mode" should also disable radio receivers?11:33
DocScrutinizer05huh?11:33
DocScrutinizer05why?11:33
Tekk_yes?11:33
Tekk_oh11:33
* Tekk_ misread Veggen 11:33
VeggenDocScrutinizer: No reason except regulations?11:33
Tekk_I wouldn't rule that out tbh11:33
DocScrutinizer05never heard of such regulations11:33
VeggenI think I've heard that line on all my flights up to recently. "Any device containing transmitters or receivers has to be turned off throughout the whole journey"11:34
DocScrutinizer05that's bogus nonsense even when they tell that11:36
VeggenI agree, but it's always been that way, and that's the reason flight mode will also turn off receivers...right?11:36
DocScrutinizer05often they told "all electronic devices..."11:37
VeggenDoc: sure, but that's during takeoff and landing ;)11:37
DocScrutinizer05I don't think so11:37
*** vakkov has quit IRC11:37
DocScrutinizer05anyway, I never checked, always thought it's a RF-TX killswitch, and nowadays it becomes obsolete since airlines start to even allow WLAN and often even GSM on board now11:38
Veggenyah11:38
*** vakkov has joined #maemo11:40
Sicelowow! indeed gps works in offline :P11:41
Siceloi also assumed it didn't11:41
DocScrutinizer05in the "old days" when portable electronics been rather exotic (pre-walkman) the airplanes were vulnerable to certain RF interference and first such devices (I seem to recall a diskman incident) sometimes had nasty EMI radiation that forbid using them in airplanes. Nowadays when electronic devices are ubiquitous, airplanes are hardened, and their problem nowadays is malware getting injected to flight computer via WLAN ;-P11:42
DocScrutinizer05the definition of "receiver" is fuzzy enough anyway11:43
DocScrutinizer05btw you know that even pacemakers may contain receivers?11:43
DocScrutinizer05go shut down your pacemaker during start and landing please! ;-P11:44
DocScrutinizer05and right, download of map data doesn't work at all11:49
DocScrutinizer05so maps is completely useless now11:50
DocScrutinizer05(unless you got complete map data cached already)11:50
DocScrutinizer05((nokia suite)) haha - "install windoze on your PC or you cannot use maps or even flash new firmware on your linux phone" - really a great catch by M$okia11:52
Sicelo:D11:53
Siceloif the others were as easy to use however :(11:54
DocScrutinizer05you know what I had done instead of buying my first N900 (or even N810) when they had that policy back when?11:54
jaskaalso, if you consider bio-electronic devices11:54
jaskathen youd have to shut down a whole lot more :)11:54
kerioDocScrutinizer05: bought an OM?11:54
DocScrutinizer05for sure not. Think I had ~12 back when11:55
* Sicelo will re-read the wiki pages about GPS applications.. all i need is voice nav. & offline maps (which are relatively good for southern africa)11:59

zipR4NDhi all, recently got an old n900, now i ask myself and the internet what ist the way to get the most up-to-date linux (preferably based on debian-wheezy) on my phone and still be able to use it as a phone ...15:58
jogaI'd say don't bother, just put the cssu maemo there and if you want debian, run it with easydebian in chroot or something15:59
DocScrutinizer05sounds like a hidden XY-problem. Why do you need most up-to-date linux, to start with?15:59
zipR4NDjoga: are there any easydebian builds for wheezy?16:00
DocScrutinizer05we need to know what's X, I.E. what you want to do so you think you need most recent linux to achieve that16:00
jogazipR4ND, dunno, see here http://wiki.maemo.org/Easy_Debian#Debian_.22wheezy.22_images16:00
zipR4NDthxx joga16:01
joga(note that if you do put easydebian and the image, it's a fairly long and unstable process, ie. you cannot do anything with the phone while it extracts the image and it may crash when writing to the card16:01
zipR4NDI just want up to date security packages, and luksFS and i want to be able to install just any app i would want to install on my desktop16:01
jogabut it may just work if you leave it alone for a couple of hours16:01
jogawell you can just forget about most of that16:02
joga(unless of course your desktop is Arm also)16:02
DocScrutinizer05see16:02
DocScrutinizer05~cssu16:02
infobotit has been said that cssu is http://wiki.maemo.org/Community_SSU16:02
jogamy hunch is that maemo, with all its flaws, is the only usable (as a phone) OS for the phone16:02
zipR4NDjoga: i see16:03
DocScrutinizer05what flaws?16:03
jogawell mostly UI unfriendliness and "linuxy" "features" that make it quite unenjoyable for a "normal" person16:03
DocScrutinizer05errr16:03
jogawhile I personally like it ok after using it for years, but try giving it to a random iphone user and they're lost16:04
joga(and so am I with an iphone)16:04
DocScrutinizer05and you think this will get better when you install e.g. gnome or kde on that tiny screen?16:04
jogacertainly not16:04
jogawhat I said was that it's the best there is16:04
DocScrutinizer05for sure16:05
*** josch has joined #maemo16:05
jogaI actually wanted to run wireshark on it and, well, it did work but the UI is pretty cramped with such a tiny screen16:05
DocScrutinizer05and it's sufficiently up to date as well, for all that really matters, when you use cssu16:05
jogafull of gtk widgets and stuff16:05
DocScrutinizer05and for running genuine PC linux apps, there's still easydeb16:07
TheOnlyJoey|deskzipR4ND, i recently installed a wheezy chroot using a specific image, let me find it for you16:07
zipR4NDTheOnlyJoey|desk: thxx16:07
*** josch has left #maemo16:08
DocScrutinizer05while generally you want to adapt and compile your app for fremantle/hildon16:08
TheOnlyJoey|deskzipR4ND, i used http://qole.org/files/debian_wheezy3sulu_armhf.img.lzma but you have to use the kernel-power kernel to get it working, since that supports hf16:08
DocScrutinizer05unless it's a cmdline binary which usually just need compiling on scratchbox and off you go16:08
zipR4NDDocScrutinizer is there a nice tutorial on how to setup a dev environment for the hildon desktop? and thxx very much TheOnlyJoey|desk16:08

Snafu777DocScrutinizer05: Earlier you mentioned not building on the n900 itself, why not?17:10
DocScrutinizer05too slow17:10
Snafu777Oh, but other than that, no bad issues?17:10
DocScrutinizer05well, you can't use your device for a week17:10
Snafu777Heh, I build on mine for everything, but then again, most of the programs I build are small and not that intensive17:11
*** jmlich has joined #maemo17:11
DocScrutinizer05and odds are you're wearing out the swap17:11
Snafu777hmm17:11
DocScrutinizer05remember that you got some max 100MB free for the compiler17:12
DocScrutinizer05possibly less17:12
DocScrutinizer05and swap is slooooow17:13
bencohdead slow17:14
*** zGrr has joined #maemo17:15
Snafu777Heh17:15
DocScrutinizer05maybe you can compile ddate in a easydeb or other chroot (you'll run into trouble trying to install all the libs in real root fs which also is only 245MB total)17:16
DocScrutinizer05for anything larger than that I'd not even bother17:16

DocScrutinizer05yeah, no worries with that17:19
Snafu777what the hell would u try to compile on it that would take a week?17:19
norayrhey hey, I am trying to uninstall kernel-power and I do steps described here: http://wiki.maemo.org/Kernel_Power#Uninstalling_kernel-power,17:19
norayrI did apt-get install --reinstall -y kernel kernel-flasher okay17:20
Snafu777heh, why would u try to uninstall it norayr?17:20
norayrbut the apt-get remove -y kernel-power kernel-power-modules wants to uninstall 700 packages.17:20
norayrbecause I need uboot-pr1317:20
norayrwhich does not work with kernel-power, right?17:20
*** grammoboy has joined #maemo17:20
norayrI need to boot into nemo.17:20
Snafu777No idea.  WHy not just flash?  I don't think u can easily uninstall it17:21
*** VDVsx has quit IRC17:21
grammoboygood idea to buy an n9 and put sailfish on it?17:21
kerioif you're uninstalling 700 packages, then you probably have cssu-thumb installed17:21
keriodo you?17:21
norayrminute17:21
kerioanyway, you don't need to uninstall kernel power17:22
norayrhmmmm, okay17:22
keriodo you have cssu-thumb installed?17:22
norayrbut I cannot have uboot otherwise.17:22
norayrno I don't have it17:22
kerioiirc u-boot-flasher installs just fine17:23
kerioit'll just overwrite the flashed kernel17:23
norayrlet me try...17:23
kerioand then you just install kernel-power-bootimg17:23
norayrinstalling u-boot-flasher. I was installing uboot-pr13 before.17:24
kerioyeah, uboot-pr13 is not the supported version afaik17:24
DocScrutinizer05what's the name of that app that you can ask google via voice?17:25
norayri have already removed kernel-power and kernel-power-modules17:25
norayrshould i install them back or install kernel-power-bootimg makes it?17:25
DocScrutinizer05never remove kernels17:25

kerioi think the bootimg will bring back the modules at least17:26
norayrand i will have u-boot after it? i hope so.17:26
keriosure17:26
norayrbecause my usb is broken, and I have asked someone to change the battery for me.17:26
kerio...your usb is broken17:27
kerioand you're playing with kernels17:27
DocScrutinizer05:-o17:27
* kerio wants nothing to do with this shit17:27
norayrand I want to use nemo in order to copy all the data from /home etc17:27
DocScrutinizer05yeah, extremely risky business17:27
norayrand then erase smth in home and give it to someone to try to fix it.17:27
norayr(:17:27
kerioto be fair, after the install it's going to be a bit sturdier17:27
kerionorayr: i hope you're aware that maemo can copy files and then delete everything17:28
DocScrutinizer05I'd install BM17:28

keriosuch a shitty one, too17:28
DocScrutinizer05exactly17:28
*** arcean has joined #maemo17:28
DocScrutinizer05there's like a megaton of ways to save /home17:28
kerioif you want to do heavy duty maintenance you probably want rescueOS17:28
keriobut that's for stuff like repartitioning17:28
kerioand it's fairly awful to use without usb networking17:29
norayryeah, sure. just I thought it's better to use that because /home contents gets changed at runtime. so some files might be corrupted, like abook.db etc.17:30
keriofair enough17:30
keriobut meh17:30
kerioit's close to pulling the battery out, to be honest17:30
norayrokay, anyway, I'll copy it under maemo, it's indeed better. thank you.17:31
kerioand i hope stuff is resilient enough17:31

DocScrutinizer05do a proper standard backup, which will save all files that might be "open" during maemo mounted home17:36
DocScrutinizer05abook.db for sure17:37
DocScrutinizer05save the backup to card, not to phone17:37
DocScrutinizer05then use cp -ar ~user /media/card/mybackup17:38

Snafu777Oh well, usb is more useful than sd...17:39

norayrthat's my second n900's usb port already.17:39
norayri've heard about someone who have managed to fix one n900's usb.17:39
norayrhope he can do it.17:39
Snafu777Heh, i've been lucky, i'm on my 2nd or third n900 and i've never had a usb port issue17:39
* DocScrutinizer05 neither17:40
norayrand I have read about it and always were so careful.17:40

DocScrutinizer05(fingernails) and what's maybe more important factor for no USB fatalities: never grab the USB plug on the wide sides18:50
DocScrutinizer05you can also pull it out without using (non-existent) fingernails, by simply grabbing the small sides with your winger tips and then pressing and rolling the fingertips against the case body18:52
*** jmlich has quit IRC18:52
DocScrutinizer05I always pull my USB plugs this way on N900. It's btw the only way that needs no second hand holding the device18:53

keriomh, isn't mkv a bit too heavy for stuff like web videos?20:47
keriorealistically, you won't need 2 video streams and 7 audio streams with 14 subtitles20:48

elias_akerio: I guess Spadolini is an Italian name...20:51
*** SpeedEvil has joined #maemo20:52
elias_akerio: In Finland where I live we have 3 languages used in tv programmes.20:53
kerio1) dubs ruin art20:53
kerio2) embedding every language in a single file means that you have to download all audio streams regardless20:53
keriowhich is suboptimal, for something that's supposed to be "web video"20:53
elias_akerio: Sports events are always commented in 2 languages, finnish and swedish.20:53
elias_akerio: So how do you watch content shown on tv using the web service?20:55
keriono clue20:55
Humpelstilzchen.o0(flash)20:55
elias_akerio: They are now including subs.20:55
kerioeither a separate audio stream, but then you have sync issues20:55
kerioor two different video streams20:55
keriobut then you can't freely switch between languages20:55
elias_akerio: Do you live in a monolingual country?20:56
kerioi do20:56
keriobut i don't see how that's relevant in a discussion about the efficiency of a media container designed for web browsers20:56
elias_aThis discussion is quite interesting because these issues are quite meaningful in multilingual countrise.20:57
elias_akerio: I can understand that. What I'm telling you is that a media container that cannot handle multiple languages in both audio and subs is useless in multilingual countries.20:58
elias_aOf course you can go the imho idiot's way like in Belgium: different tv channels for different language audiences and that's it.20:59
elias_aBut, imho that is just dead stupid.20:59
kerioif efficiency is an issue you simply can't send all the audio streams together in a single bundle21:00
elias_akerio: The real question is whether technical efficiency is more important than language support.21:01
DocScrutinizer05sure, we need more efficiency. We get LTE now, and octocores in mobile equipment. We damn sure better create something efficient now ;-P21:01
kerio8 cores, 2 of which are used by the modem chip21:01
Humpelstilzchen.o0(sports game with different commentators)21:01
elias_akerio: The answer is really simple: language support is far more important.21:02
elias_aHumpelstilzchen: What's so odd about that? :O21:02
kerioyeah21:03
kerioit's kinda neat21:03
elias_aHumpelstilzchen: The logic is simple: we have a language minority a part of which really do not understand Finnish.21:05
elias_aHumpelstilzchen: It is relatively cheap to have an extra commentator speaking Swedish.21:05
elias_aAnd it is far more simple than negotiating with the swedes about co-operation :D21:06
