DocScrutinizerdreamer: on a more serious statement: I think there's only one *proper* battery monitor app available for N900, and that's bq27* shellscript00:48
DocScrutinizerfor all I know all other apps either use HAL (guesstimate at its finest, just like battery icon in status bar) or they rely on bq27200.ko kernel module and sysfs nodes, which are known to break things and a so badly deprecated we should nuke them off God's great earth00:49

infobotDocScrutinizer meant: for all I know all other apps either use HAL (guesstimate at its finest, just like battery icon in status bar) or they rely on bq27200.ko kernel module and sysfs nodes, which are known to break things and are so badly deprecated we should nuke them off Go...00:50

dreamerDocScrutinizer: hmmm00:55
dreamerwell, it always worked just fine00:55
dreamerBatteryGraph still works though00:56
DocScrutinizeryeah, you thought that00:56
DocScrutinizerbattery graph probably using HAL00:56
DocScrutinizerbq27200.ko however could either cause reboots when you for example use h-e-n (stopping then restarting bme), or (in an other even worse fsckdup version) could actually damage your hardware, due to locking in I"C got removed systemwide, to stop bme from causing reboot00:58
DocScrutinizerI2C even00:58
DocScrutinizerin current powerkernel it's blacklisted by default, due to all those severe issues00:59
DocScrutinizeraiui you can unblacklist it on your own peril. This will make all battery monitors "work" like on PK49 (48?), risking your device escaping blue magic smoke in worst case01:02

DocScrutinizer"why doesn't it work anymore?"  "well, the blue magic smoke escaped. Did you open it?"01:06
*** BCMM has quit IRC01:40
dreamerDocScrutinizer: ouch01:55
DocScrutinizerindeed01:55
dreamerhehe01:56
dreamerwell, I try not to go too deep in to the internals, but it's too bad that it doesn't work anymore ;)01:56
RaimuDocScrutinizer: By bq27* script do you mean for example bq27200.sh on maemo.cloud-7?02:06
DocScrutinizeryep02:27
DocScrutinizerthose scripts using i2ctools are considered relatively safe (unless you mess with i2ctools and don't know what you're doing), they work on all kernels as long as bq27200.ko kernel module not loaded, don't actually cause any permamnet trouble and deliver reasonable values for result, if you know to read them02:29

Nobody knows exactly who's knowing details, but obsolete and incorrect info could be found at http://wiki.maemo.org/Community_Council/Council_election_Q1/2_2012. Please don't miss the breaking news, once they might appear!"22:49
