WikiwideDust... Does Modest have a limit on Draft-message length somewhere? Number of lines or something? Because I have the unfortunate task of forwarding a very long email, and editing it before clicking 'Send' (removing personal information from text), which means going through all the text (and I remove excessive > breaklines on the way, too, given how they make paragraphs less readable).02:49

WikiwideDarn... LEDs, again, do not work. Anybody remembers how I got out of it before? Both keyboard LEDs and RGB notification LED.14:10
KotCzarnyswap screen? cable?14:13
WikiwideAnd, excessive breaklines in email may have been generated by sender (Turnitin), not by Modest. Though, it doesn't negate the problem with scrolling very long draft in Modest.14:13
WikiwideKotCzarny: keyboard backlight too, not just notification light. And, it was somehow resolved before, without changing the hardware.14:15
WikiwideEither it is come-and-go problem, or it is file damage from all these out-of-control shutdowns (aka dying battery?)14:16
Wikiwide/me curses again lack of GUI for password management in MicroB; surely, there has to be a better way than python2.7-ing firefox_decrypt.py ?14:17
WikiwideActually, if I understood python better, it might have been possible to rewrite the py file to work with python2.5, and save the trouble of installing python2.7?14:19
WikiwideI am quite irritable. But at least, "only" 97% of rootfs are full, even after installing python2.7 . So, pdf reader and other things should work.14:22

sicelowhat password management?15:13
siceloanyway, if you mean v/iewng saved passwords, just open 'chrome://passwordmgr/content/passwordManager.xul' the same as you would in FF15:15
WikiwideHmm, thank you! Will see if it can be bookmarked. Or added to desktop as a shortcut.15:16
*** Vajb has quit IRC15:18
WikiwideOnly, I have 5 passwords saved, and chrome://passwordmgr/content/passwordManager.xul says that no, there aren't any passwords saved in MicroB15:18
*** hurrian has joined #maemo15:19
*** xy2_ has joined #maemo15:20
Wikiwide/me wonders how exactly I managed to tell MicroB to break the database. .. So that MicroB probably doesn't recognise it anymore (while firefox_decrypt.py does recognise it)15:20

WikiwideWhatever is /dev/.udev/failed/ ...15:27
DocScrutinizer05Wikiwide: LP5523 chip gets fsckdup by fcam15:32
DocScrutinizer05remove battery15:32
WikiwideNo fcam here. Battery gets replaced regularly (since charging port not working). Does the battery need to be out of device for a long time (as in, forget time and date) ?15:34
*** jonwil has quit IRC15:34
DocScrutinizer05at least for a maybe 30s15:35
DocScrutinizer05a powercycle *should* reset LP5523 too, but... something is strange about that15:35
DocScrutinizer05also check mce15:36
DocScrutinizer05it might have encountered problems, for whatever reason15:36
WikiwideOkay. Will do that. Hoping it works. Because it looks like I highlight all possible problems; if something can go wrong, it does (at some point in time).15:37
DocScrutinizer05murphy's law ;-D15:37
DocScrutinizer05stop mce; sleep 5; start mce15:39
DocScrutinizer05watch syslog15:39
WikiwideOkay, where is syslog?..15:41
WikiwideSysklogd?15:43
DocScrutinizer05ooh, you don't have it installed? then yes, apt-get install syslogd (and/or ksyslogd), somesuch15:48
DocScrutinizer05sysklogd15:48
DocScrutinizer05sysklogd is only for kernel messages which you also could read using dmesg15:48

DocScrutinizer05((Does the battery need to be out of device for a long time)) remove battery, press power button. should reliably and drastically reduce the time battery needs to be out17:12
DocScrutinizer05((time and date)) unrelated, the time&date is kept in TWL4030 with a dedicated backup battery coin cell17:13
DocScrutinizer05~bupbat17:13
infobotrumour has it, 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=9086417:13
DocScrutinizer05the bupbat isn't connected and thus unrelated to LP5523 LED controller17:15
DocScrutinizer05the involved systems are (without any special ordering): main battery, I2C, LP5523, flatflexcable, MCE (plus the mce-*.so libs), dbus17:18

infobot[mce] http://wiki.maemo.org/Free_Maemo#MCE18:07
buZzMCE is responsible of handling display control (active/dim/blank), activity monitoring (keys, buttons), keyboard backlight, ambient light sensor (ALS), LEDs and device mode control. In addition, MCE is responsible for providing interface to proximity, accelometer and vibra devices.18:07

DocScrutinizer05the byte offset would have changed in freeMCE18:16

DocScrutinizer05~messybox18:17
infobotmessy... err busybox is meant for lean scripting. Regarding all the missing options and immanent limitations (see su, passwd, nice, ps, diff as used by mc...) it's not really the interactive shell of choice. A lot of people hate busybox because a lot of system integrators don't understand the difference between busybox and a decent user interactive shell plus unix utils18:17
buZzi dont care :P18:17
buZzi'm not replacing shell just to check for a hexdump :P18:17
DocScrutinizer05neither do I18:18

buZzits different, just be happy :P18:19
DocScrutinizer05nevermind, if it's freeMCE then the bytes at offset 0x000086a0 are meaningless anyway18:20

DocScrutinizer05buZz: you could check the result instead of checking the binary creating results: get a bright flashlight, place it to the ALS (upper left corner in landscape) for as long as it takes to dim the screen and shut off kbd backlight (with brighness set at 4 bars, won't ever happen at 5 bars. a 15s should suffice in this case), then without removing flashlight lock the screen with sliding lockswitch, check the brightness of beathing indicator18:58
DocScrutinizer05light - is it normal brightness or very very dim (which is the bug I fixed)18:58
buZzwhat problem of -mine- is that analyzing?18:59
DocScrutinizer05dim indicator light18:59
buZzi dont have that problem18:59
DocScrutinizer05are you sure?18:59
buZzdoes that matter? :D18:59
DocScrutinizer05does maemo matter?19:00
buZzi do 3-4 weeks on a charge, light can be dim all it wants19:00
DocScrutinizer05now THAT is too much for my brain and mind19:00

DocScrutinizer05trying to fix a bug (or check if that bug is already fixed in CSSU) and reply in here is "fuck off, doen't matter"19:01

DocScrutinizer05better more detailed19:05
freemangordonDocScrutinizer05: which line is that? https://github.com/community-ssu/mce/blob/master/modules/filter-brightness-als.h#L82 ?19:05
freemangordonDocScrutinizer05: https://github.com/community-ssu/mce/blob/master/modules/filter-brightness-als.h#L184 ?19:06
DocScrutinizer05yup, looks correct19:06
freemangordonok, will fix it, though not today19:07
DocScrutinizer05:-)19:08
freemangordonI am waiting for guests to come home, so... :)19:08
DocScrutinizer05with >100lux (https://github.com/community-ssu/mce/blob/master/modules/filter-brightness-als.h#L180) the brightness switches to 0, and it switches back to 5 on <64lux19:08
DocScrutinizer05or is it >1000lux?19:11
DocScrutinizer05NFC, anyway the patch works19:11
DocScrutinizer05aah wait, the tupels are defining a threshold incl hysteresis, not a range19:12
DocScrutinizer05so (assuming a }, { 3, 5, 0, 0, 0, 0 } line) we would run LED at 0 up to 64lux, at 5 up to 1000lux, and at 0 over 1000lux. dimming down again, we would switch back to 5 at 100lux and to 3 at 32lux19:15
DocScrutinizer05each tuple defines the thresholds for downward and upword, for one ","-border in { 5, 5, 0, 0, 0, 0 }19:17
DocScrutinizer05since we got two valif such tuples, we need *3* meaningful brightness levels in that { 5, 5, 0, 0, 0, 0 }19:18
DocScrutinizer05so (assuming a }, { 3, 5, 0, 0, 0, 0 } line) we would run LED at **3** up to 64lux, at 5 up to 1000lux, and at 0 over 1000lux. dimming down again, we would switch back to 5 at 100lux and to 3 at 32lux19:21

*** drcode has joined #maemo20:49
*** cyteen has joined #maemo20:49
DocScrutinizer05you won't see such blinking21:03
DocScrutinizer05it's way too short to usually get noticed21:03
DocScrutinizer05ooh, I stand corrected, after testing it21:05
DocScrutinizer05nice way to check for operational hardwate with minimal software involvement21:09
DocScrutinizer05hardware*21:10
DocScrutinizer05selftest is a LP5523-internal hw function21:10
DocScrutinizer05ff__: nice catch21:10
ff__yes, it should gives some additional information if something doesn't work21:11
DocScrutinizer05yep, the chip checks if each of the LEDs draws correct current at correct voltage21:12
DocScrutinizer05so it can detect all hw defects except a LED simply not emitting photons when operating21:13
DocScrutinizer05don't know if that's even possible for a LED die21:13
ff__by the way, is it possible indicate autofocus & whitebalance during record through gstreamer?21:16
DocScrutinizer05no idea21:16
DocScrutinizer05I _think_ both are managed by a blob shared lib21:17
DocScrutinizer05maybe I'm mistaken and the lib isn't a blob21:18
DocScrutinizer05or it has a documented API at least, where you can get that info from21:19
DocScrutinizer05camera-ui2 aka nicocam has a focum length indicator, so the v4l2 stuff must provide it21:20
DocScrutinizer05focus*21:20
ff__yes, focus adjusting is done21:22
DocScrutinizer05https://www.linuxtv.org/downloads/legacy/video4linux/API/V4L2_API/spec-single/v4l2.html  maybe helps. No idea whatsoever about whitebal21:22
ff__v4l2src has   GstColorBalance21:24
ff__but don't know how to use it21:24
DocScrutinizer05needs at least 2 (prolly dimensionless) ints, I'd guess21:27
*** pagurus has joined #maemo21:29
DocScrutinizer05how whitebalance works internally is a mystery to me. It's less mysterious when the picture has all colors so you could adjust to maje a median or average or whatever fit a neutral point. But what when you shoot a tree format-filling? all just green, what's the whitebalance with that?21:29

ff__it adds some error probably, camerabin in gstreamer does the job, but not in v4l2src21:32
ff__*but not with v4l2src21:33
DocScrutinizer05and that's exactly the sekrit knowledge camera manufs (also the one of N900 camera) add to their product in form of closed blob binaries aka libs which are never getting disclosed since they are company asset algorithms21:33
DocScrutinizer05recent cryPhone camera advertised by apple as "the best camera ever" or somesuch - all of that is in those libs, none in the mere hardware21:34

ff__fluid lens are fun :)21:37
DocScrutinizer05hehe yes, but not exactly high quality21:37
DocScrutinizer05neither suitable for decent aperture size21:38
ff__and how speed performace with it?21:38
DocScrutinizer05hm? I think that's their main advantage - mere speed21:39
DocScrutinizer05plus no mechanics at all21:39
DocScrutinizer05apply more voltage, make drop mor special21:39
DocScrutinizer05works in milliseconds21:40
DocScrutinizer05damn!!21:40
DocScrutinizer05apply more voltage, make drop more spherical21:40
ff__I didn't know that liquid lens has pretty poor quality21:40
DocScrutinizer05it's a sperical lens21:41
DocScrutinizer05of max a few millimeters diameter21:41
DocScrutinizer05prolly more like 1 or 2 mm21:41
DocScrutinizer05for a spherical lens it's maybe perfect21:42
DocScrutinizer05but high class multi-lens setups use surprisingly complex lens shapes21:42
DocScrutinizer05to reduce color aberration etc21:43

DocScrutinizer05maybe they meanwhile can use a spherical liquid lens in combination with a complex aspheric glass lens setup22:06

DocScrutinizer05https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromatic_aberration#/media/File:Lens6b-en.svg achromatic doublet - can't be done that way with a liquid lens for the convex part since the concave part needs matching properties22:21
ff__so that's not for professional use, maybe for some action use22:26
ff__have we uart or spi interface somwhere inside n900?22:27
ff__second e-ink screen would be helpful, like that one http://waveshare.com/wiki/4.3inch_e-Paper_UART_Module22:29
DocScrutinizer05UART yes. SPI too but not available to users22:56
DocScrutinizer05UART though is on testpoints: console22:56
DocScrutinizer05maybe you want hackerbus? ;-)22:57
DocScrutinizer05~neo900 hb22:57
DocScrutinizer05~#neo900 hb22:57
infobotwell, #neo900 hb is http://neo900.org/stuff/papers/hb.pdf and http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=146195422:57
ff__yes, read this for now http://wiki.maemo.org/N900_Hardware_Hacking23:00
ff__connect this e-ink to n900 (while it has exposed UART) seems to possible23:01
ff__*seems to be possible23:01
DocScrutinizer05yes, possible23:07
DocScrutinizer05you need more than just UART though: power, and power control23:07
DocScrutinizer05and levelshifter for UART23:08
ff__you are right23:09
ff__how to talk through this UART?23:10
DocScrutinizer05err, prolly just use /dev/tty0 or somesuch23:10
ff__ok, J2000 connectors under battery and /dev/ttyS023:14
DocScrutinizer05without warranties, but yes :-)23:20
DocScrutinizer05the voltage level is still a mystery, but I'd recommend assuming 1V823:21
DocScrutinizer05as that's the level expected according to all datasheets and other docs available23:22
DocScrutinizer05see my latest edit >> Pin number: AH8, name: etk_d15/sdti_txd3 (serial data out, system trace messages); power domain: vdds 1.8V [1] voltage level actually seen is a miracle<<23:22
DocScrutinizer05you might want to ask a kernel hacker ( freemangordon?) for details about etk_d15/sdti_txd323:24
*** cyteen has quit IRC23:24
DocScrutinizer05maybe he could even completely falsify what I found out regarding that stuff23:26
DocScrutinizer05tbh it makes no sense to me23:26
DocScrutinizer05http://wstaw.org/m/2017/06/05/plasma-desktopr22054.png looks like AH7 but that makes no sense at all, and probably it's AH8.  Then there's also http://wstaw.org/m/2017/06/05/plasma-desktopL22054.png which must be OVP and thus irrelevant, and http://wstaw.org/m/2017/06/05/plasma-desktopw22054.png which probably is some phantom current via a number of nearby pads, so a secondary false positive23:34

ff__make screenshot, convert it to gray4 (2bpp), add 800x120 pixels and send it to the module (need sniff what EPSCOMM.exe sends first, some init etc)23:48
ff__I think for white / black on n900 it should be nice visible on this 2bpp e-ink, but for colourful, more gradient, that gray4 is too small23:51
ff__need convert few screenshots23:51
