gggsHey guys, having an issue with the latest stable SSU- I can't access the inbox of my IMAP4 account09:19
*** dos1 has joined #maemo-ssu09:20
Sc0rpiuswhy not09:21
gggsEvery other folder works (although there's "Trash", ". Trash" and ". Trash", and two INBOX folders)09:21
gggsno idea, worked before the SSU09:21
Sc0rpiusit's not a Gmail account, is it?09:22
gggsNope, commercial IMAP409:22
gggscontinues to work as normal via Thunderbird & my iPad09:22
Sc0rpiusand you don't get any kind of error? it's just like email doesn't show?09:23
gggsI can't enter the "INBOX" folder at all- the select box highlights onPress but nothing happens09:23
Sc0rpiussince it's IMAP and you won't lose your emails, have you tried to delete the account and create it again?09:24
gggsworth a shot, I've just rebooted it09:24
gggsAwesome, that actually worked. I still have an "Inbox", "INBOX", "Trash", ". Trash", and ". Trash", but otherwise it worked09:30
gggsa few years left in this old phone yet09:32

DocScrutinizer05hi gals and guys! please evaluate if (and by how much effort) it can be made possible to boot fremantle on a N(eo)900 without NAND. Don't worry about boot sequence, this will be granted to be set up so it works to boot from eMMC. I'm more worried about: * kernel partiton; * CAL (!!); * mtdoops20:07
DocScrutinizer05booting kernel from eMMC seems simple, we're already doing that all the time20:08
DocScrutinizer05mtdoops seems marginal, but is it really?20:08
DocScrutinizer05CAL is a PITA I guess20:08
freemangordonPali: seems your patch is fine20:09
Sicelowhat does CAL stand for btw?20:09
freemangordon~cal20:09
infoboti guess cal is http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=2046520:09
freemangordonDocScrutinizer05: what is the problem with cal? we have FOSS library to access it20:10
Sicelois that even needed on Neo900?20:10
kerioDocScrutinizer05: nandsim20:11
keriounless everything uses libcal20:11
kerioin which case, replacement for libcal20:11
PaliDocScrutinizer05: mtdoops is set by kernel cmdline, so this is not problematic20:11
PaliDocScrutinizer05: kernel area is used only for loading kernel by bootloader, so not problem too20:11
PaliDocScrutinizer05: CAL: this is problem, but freemangordon already RE libcal library, so we can replace code to store data to eMMC20:12
freemangordon:nod:20:13
DocScrutinizer05is this actually r/w enabled lib?20:13
PaliDocScrutinizer05: if you want to use fremantle from SD card or eMMC, see my scripts for M32GB20:13
freemangordonDocScrutinizer05: yes20:13
Pali~M32GB20:13
infobotwell, m32gb is https://code.launchpad.net/~pali/+junk/maemo_M32GB20:13
DocScrutinizer05Pali: we want to keep as much as possible conpatibility to stocj maemo20:14
DocScrutinizer05and confine any hacks/patches to kernel, if any possible20:14
PaliDocScrutinizer05: mtd is not problem, this depends on bootloader20:14
freemangordonDocScrutinizer05: https://gitorious.org/community-ssu/libcal/source/27df167a08103f060f297cbdfec2a360e5d1eec4:src/cal.h#L14420:14
freemangordon:)20:15
Paliso if you configure/compile bootloader for neno correctly, there will not be problem20:15
DocScrutinizer05mhm20:15
DocScrutinizer05good, thanks20:15
DocScrutinizer05I still don't feel euphoric about using a 1GB RAM PoP without NAND20:15
freemangordonhmm, I guess 512+512 and 1GB of fast swap is better20:17
DocScrutinizer05int  cal_lock_otp_area(struct cal* cal, unsigned int flag);   DAMNIT!20:17
DocScrutinizer05freemangordon: ACK20:18
*** luf has quit IRC20:20
freemangordonDocScrutinizer05: this lock should be supported by nand iirc20:20
freemangordon(it was a while I played with this :) )20:20
DocScrutinizer05I don't doubt it's supported, I'm not pleased if it gets used ;-)20:20
freemangordoniirc it is not supported :)20:20
freemangordonrv = ioctl(fd, OTPLOCK, &info);20:21
DocScrutinizer05N9 prolly using it, in NOLO20:21
freemangordonnot to say we can always repartition the cal area20:21
freemangordoncould be20:21
DocScrutinizer05whatever, thanks for sharing your notions and expertise. I'll continue to search for a solution that keeps NAND. Just for the record we seem to have found a 1GB RAM-only PoP20:23
DocScrutinizer05but I'm kinda feeling defiant today, due to users bashing Neo900 for not outperforming N9 on GFX and 720p playback (the heck WHAT FOR??), so I rather tend to go for 512MB RAM and that's it, the demand for 1GB RAM is a stupid marketing-driven thing which I consider of minor benefit for Neo900 performance20:26
DocScrutinizer05very honorable guys uttered their sound notion that already a humble 80MB more of RAM would bring fremantle out of swap hell and thus would cure 95% of our most iching problems. Neo900 has 256MB more RAM20:29
DocScrutinizer05all this numbers-bragging on RAM, cores, MHz. I despise it so much20:31
DocScrutinizer05the GFX makes 20Mpoly/s instead of 10 on 353020:32
*** NIN101 has quit IRC20:32
DocScrutinizer05but users go "EEEEW the DSP is same crap like N9" (only 50% faster than on N900)20:33
DocScrutinizer05I'm tempted to answer "then the heck get a spyPhone9!"20:33
DocScrutinizer05prolly we should change our advertising: "RAM: 4Gb" ;-)20:35
DocScrutinizer05"CPU clock: up to 2.4GHz" (or whatever the dividers theoretically could provide)20:36
ShadowJKThere's no swap hell if you limit yourself20:41
ShadowJKAnd even with 1g you can reach swap hell easily if you dont limit yourself.20:42

kerioDocScrutinizer05: 50% faster but still crashing every other video!21:18
kerioalso, i vote for 1gb ram with no NAND instead of 512+51221:19
*** _nicolai_ has joined #maemo-ssu21:19
DocScrutinizer05kerio: *maybe* we can offer options, but for sure FPTF won't support NAND-less as the first and prior variant, maybe it won't support it ever and you need to configure and bring up your device under fremantle by yourself then21:21
kerio:c21:21
DocScrutinizer05after all we'd need massive hacks to a lot of core system properties and bits, to support NAND-less fremantle21:22
keriovery few things actually speak with /dev/mtd*21:23
DocScrutinizer05but the partitioning is different21:23
keriocal goes through libcal, and nothing prevents us from having / and /home as separate partitions21:23
DocScrutinizer05so it starts with different uBoot config needed, and I bet rcS needs a lot of patching as well21:24
keriojust the very early bits21:24
DocScrutinizer05replacing libcal is just another detail21:24
kerioand do you really hope to run them unchanged?21:24
DocScrutinizer05libcal? sure21:25
DocScrutinizer05rcS? hope so21:25
keriommh21:25
DocScrutinizer05that's the idea of the whole Neo900 compatibility goal21:25
DocScrutinizer05to userland, the system should look identical21:26
kerioyeah but twice the ram :(21:26
DocScrutinizer05no, 4 times the ram21:26
DocScrutinizer05you already got twice the ram21:26
keriotwice the ram compared to the 512+51221:26
DocScrutinizer05I'm not geting euphoric or even horny ny watching my RAM values in top, what makes me happy is a smoothly working device21:27

* DocScrutinizer05 feels strangely reminded at OM GTA02 which been supposed to have that SMEDIA Glamo GFX accel chip, and it turned out that due to all the collateral damage that chip *slowed down* graphics to a level that it became basically unbearable21:30
kerioi just feel that this could be a point where backwards compatibility could be ignored for the good of innovation21:30
DocScrutinizer05but sure, it had a GFX accel21:30
DocScrutinizer05we're not going that path21:30
DocScrutinizer05when you want innovation, get a N9 or a Jolla21:31

DocScrutinizer05several*22:46
DocScrutinizer05and actually it seems OMAP3430 is EOL either22:47
