**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed Mar 05 10:59:56 2008 Mar 05 11:05:50 hello Mar 05 11:06:12 wb Mar 05 11:14:59 anybody know what the qmu sdk application is based on ? Mar 05 11:15:03 qemu Mar 05 11:15:10 the first vmware image or the latest ? Mar 05 11:15:14 im getting a segfault Mar 05 11:15:26 trying to start maemo Mar 05 12:04:48 mmm... I'm trying to use a N800 in host mode with the enclosed cable and I've been able to provide power to a USB hub I have Mar 05 12:04:57 but nothing else shows up Mar 05 12:06:01 I'm googling but I've had no luck yet about finding a good tutorial Mar 05 12:06:23 you did "echo host > /sys/devices/platform/musb_hdrc/mode" ? Mar 05 12:06:33 (or used usbcontrol) Mar 05 12:06:37 mmm.. no, I'm using usbcontrol Mar 05 12:06:48 hold on Mar 05 12:06:59 I heard some mumbling about hubs and whitelists Mar 05 12:07:09 I'm going to connect to my WiFi router so I can tinker with it from a console Mar 05 12:07:21 can you try to plug whatever you're trying in directly Mar 05 12:07:22 dont hubs drain power like mad Mar 05 12:07:23 ? Mar 05 12:07:23 by the way, where does the dmesg log reside? Mar 05 12:07:33 hubs can also soak up power like LinuxCode said Mar 05 12:07:37 it only supports a keybaord Mar 05 12:07:45 powerwise Mar 05 12:07:52 hds etc.. wont work Mar 05 12:07:53 gomiam, it doesn't reside anywhere Mar 05 12:07:57 LinuxCode: no problem with power, it's connected to the DC adapter right now Mar 05 12:08:03 LinuxCode, flash drives should work Mar 05 12:08:11 johnx_: oh. How does dmesg get the kernel messages then? Mar 05 12:08:17 johnx_, I read some issues even with flash drives Mar 05 12:08:30 some work at least Mar 05 12:08:31 but as I hvanet tired Mar 05 12:08:39 I'll test mine in a second here Mar 05 12:08:41 Id rather take your word for it Mar 05 12:08:46 than some sites Mar 05 12:09:04 aka first hand experience Mar 05 12:09:04 I know I had a flash drive not work with my zaurus usb-host but others did Mar 05 12:09:25 some must be real pigs or tell lies about the amount of power they need Mar 05 12:10:01 moo? Mar 05 12:10:27 more than likely hehe Mar 05 12:10:51 works great, even formatted as ext3 Mar 05 12:11:04 if there isnt one specific standard they all just make their own ways to measure stuff Mar 05 12:11:51 argh, isn't there a way to tail -f the kernel messages Mar 05 12:11:52 ? Mar 05 12:12:01 gomiam, no Mar 05 12:12:02 Can anyone point me in the right direction to create a menu shortcut on maemo? Mar 05 12:12:38 yabbas, I'm pretty sure it's constructed out of .desktop files that live in /usr/share/hildon Mar 05 12:12:50 those might give you an idea of how to do it Mar 05 12:13:10 johnx_, tried looking at evinces, tweaking it - it states "X loading" and does nothing. Mar 05 12:13:35 this despite me being able to load said application through an xterm Mar 05 12:13:56 s/X/xyz Mar 05 12:16:34 ok, now I'm getting some information Mar 05 12:16:43 yabbas, you'll need a service file. See /usr/share/dbus-1/services/ (from memory) Mar 05 12:17:21 and I seem to recall something about names needing to match in all places service, .desktop and someplace inside the app (?) Mar 05 12:17:24 cheers jku - I'll have a looksie Mar 05 12:17:35 I received a hub_suspend followed by a usb auto-suspend. What does that mean? Mar 05 12:17:56 I don't know...I've heard mumbles about hubs not being supported though Mar 05 12:18:03 oh Mar 05 12:18:07 can you try plugging whatever it is in directly? Mar 05 12:18:40 nope, no double female at hand yet Mar 05 12:18:57 wait...how is it plugged into the hub? Mar 05 12:19:20 I connect the tablet to the hub throught its own cable Mar 05 12:19:25 ohh, is this about using the tablet as usb host? Mar 05 12:19:32 and then connect the other peripheral to the same hub Mar 05 12:20:00 usb hubs do not work like that Mar 05 12:20:21 yeah...either I'm confused or there is no way that can work... Mar 05 12:20:28 yabbas, could be I'm talking out of my ass (it's been a while since I did that), check the tutorial if it doesn't work Mar 05 12:20:30 weeeee :D it works - muchos thanks jku Mar 05 12:20:35 :) Mar 05 12:20:44 hmm? Mar 05 12:20:53 * johnx_ must be very confused Mar 05 12:20:56 now all I need to do is package it up :-/ Mar 05 12:21:18 ah, nevermind...lost track of the conversation...glad to hear it's working yabbas Mar 05 12:21:32 danke schone johnx_ Mar 05 12:21:44 :) Mar 05 12:21:57 :/ Mar 05 12:21:58 you are using an usb hub like an ethernet hub except usb distinguishes between host and devices Mar 05 12:22:13 I guess I'll have to get a double female USB-A connector XD Mar 05 12:22:19 Delio: oh, pity XD Mar 05 12:22:27 stupid hub ;-D Mar 05 12:22:50 female-female adapters are cheap at least Mar 05 12:22:59 eh ;) Mar 05 12:23:08 yup, and it's not like I didn't need the hub, anyway Mar 05 12:23:18 Hmm, just playing with f/f adapter here as well Mar 05 12:23:43 yup...I have a nice little no-name keyboard plugged into my N800 via one Mar 05 12:23:48 mmm I should get myself one of those female to female adapters Mar 05 12:24:09 But it appears not to like working with anything Mar 05 12:24:15 * b0unc3 good morning Mar 05 12:24:41 Koshi, what have you tried? Mar 05 12:24:45 mornin' b0unc3 Mar 05 12:24:49 Delio, cheap as chips from DealExtreme. I ended up buying two :) Mar 05 12:24:59 mmm...chips Mar 05 12:25:31 * yabbas still wants to get a microAB plug to create his own Mar 05 12:26:46 "not findink double usb female konnektor" ;-) Mar 05 12:27:14 (I'm looking at dealextreme) Mar 05 12:27:28 lemme find it for ya - I ordered two last week Mar 05 12:27:31 test 123 Mar 05 12:27:53 321 tset Mar 05 12:28:04 >.> Mar 05 12:28:29 gomiam, SKU 2646 :) Mar 05 12:28:42 it appers to be working with my correct nick now Mar 05 12:29:02 thanks Mar 05 12:29:32 My plan is to get the microAB plug, solder a tiny ribbon cable to it, then stick SKU 7106to the back of the N810 for some memory luvvin goodness. ;) Mar 05 12:30:12 yeah, I have a truly random collection of things stuck out the side of my N800 now :/ Mar 05 12:30:22 somehow before it switched to using my first name, but Ido not remember entering it anywhere on the tablet Mar 05 12:30:40 * yabbas grins at johnx_ Mar 05 12:30:45 johnx_, whacha got there? Mar 05 12:31:10 mini-b -> male A into a female A -> female A into a flash drive Mar 05 12:31:10 Tama^3, the tablet is all knowing, all seeing. Mar 05 12:31:20 all are just little adapters so there's no flex at all Mar 05 12:31:25 it worries me a lot :| Mar 05 12:31:49 it's ok when the keyboard plugged in on a flat surface, but with *that* assortment it's just begging to get snapped off Mar 05 12:32:12 johnx_, aye worries me too...hence me looking at making my own :( Hama have a micro-usb cable for OTG devices but I don't think its microAB :( Mar 05 12:34:14 my thought is that if I have something like a small fragile ribbon cable soldered to the plug, any chance of bad flexing would simply screw up the makeshift rig as opposed to screwing up the port Mar 05 12:34:53 that and it should squeeze into the gap between the 810 and stand Mar 05 12:35:17 I think I'll just stick with a "travel configuration" and a "stationary configuration"...especially since the stand needs to be out for USB anyways Mar 05 12:35:28 that darn thing also feels fragile to me Mar 05 12:35:32 hehe Mar 05 12:36:11 * yabbas scrolls a window in hildon with his mousewheel and wishes a scrolly wheel was present on the ITs Mar 05 12:39:21 Is there an easy way to debianize a .tar.gz for self-installation? None of this dh_make stuff Mar 05 12:39:33 dh_make is the easy way Mar 05 12:39:53 bwah - dh_make fails to create the deb though Mar 05 12:39:59 anyone know what is the default lock code for n810? Mar 05 12:40:07 12345 Mar 05 12:40:22 incorrect... Mar 05 12:40:33 then I have no idea Mar 05 12:40:42 12345 was right for the N800, IIRC Mar 05 12:41:08 yabbas, I feel your pain...I just had to make a .deb for a couple arch-independent files and it was still a PITA Mar 05 12:41:30 I probably did it a million kinds of wrong as well...heh Mar 05 12:41:31 it seems to me like the n800 is a bit slow/heavy on loading content rich websites like youtube Mar 05 12:41:58 javascript and flash are slow Mar 05 12:42:05 johnx_, doing things wrong is my worry too :/ Man - RELEASING an app should be made easier! Mar 05 12:42:10 is it any better in the n810 version? Mar 05 12:42:18 because the software stack is the same Mar 05 12:42:30 the N810 is the same CPU/RAM/mainboard Mar 05 12:42:34 so no Mar 05 12:42:41 ahh Mar 05 12:43:05 maybe try flashblock and just click on flash you want to see? Mar 05 12:43:05 I'm wondering what are the everyday things people are doing with the n800/810 Mar 05 12:43:30 light browsing, ebooks, music Mar 05 12:43:41 I have only played with the n800 a little bit today, I'll do some more tomorrow Mar 05 12:43:56 Ok, had network issues, but a keyboard works fine via a female/female adapter :) Mar 05 12:44:03 it's too easy for me to get sucked into youtube for hours...so I really try to avoid it O_o Mar 05 12:44:04 I'm wondering how streaming videos off of vlc or something would be like Mar 05 12:44:27 liri, what johnx said - plus DivX's, VOIP, and GPS navigation Mar 05 12:44:38 there's a neat little auto-transcoding web based thing that someone was working on Mar 05 12:44:50 and there's orb for windows of course Mar 05 12:45:18 yabbas: divxs though have to be re-transcoded to play because it would probably be too heavy to play the normal movie files. what do you use for gps? (software) Mar 05 12:45:21 At first it complained how it could not mount a file system from a keyboard (obviously) but then just worked fine :D Mar 05 12:45:37 koshi, it does that everytime :) Mar 05 12:46:26 liri: I'll be honest and say I've not transcoded most of the DivX's I download from the net - they just work. There is slowdown in heavy heavy action scenes but I live with it :) easier than transcoding,heh Mar 05 12:46:35 Ahh I see, at first I didin't realise it worked as by usual debug of a machine try pressing num lock and see if it lights up. It didin't so I asusmed it just didin't work Mar 05 12:46:51 both of you might be interested in this then: http://mediautils.garage.maemo.org/mediaserv.html Mar 05 12:47:08 I played with it a while back. when it works it's pretty freaking cool :) Mar 05 12:47:14 liri, GPS - I have a code from Wayfinder so that's what I use. Also wanna look into saving google map for offline usage with maemomapper. Mar 05 12:47:50 looks nice Mar 05 12:48:04 ahh yes Mar 05 12:48:21 well gps from wayfinder requires internet access and on the road it isn't very common... at least here Mar 05 12:48:31 googlemaps isn't good here either becasue the streets are not mapped :( Mar 05 12:48:55 ? Mar 05 12:48:55 well, that's no good :/ Mar 05 12:49:07 why does wayfinder gps need internet access? Mar 05 12:49:11 I've heard that google maps' quality varies by country Mar 05 12:49:34 wait...maemo-mapper requires inet access for maps. wayfinder doesn't I thought Mar 05 12:49:41 (after the initial map download) Mar 05 12:50:04 yeah Mar 05 12:50:18 I'd like off-line satellite images for maemo-mapper simply because I get curious wondering what's over the fence :D Mar 05 12:50:23 umm, I could be confusing things... what software do you use for the maps on the maemo? Mar 05 12:50:44 there are two: "Maps" aka wayfinder, and maemo-mapper Mar 05 12:51:02 wayfinder works offline fyi Mar 05 12:51:24 so wayfinder are basically maps/program? Mar 05 12:51:32 yes Mar 05 12:51:52 ahh nice, I thought it was like an online service for the maps (like googlemaps) Mar 05 12:52:11 no, that's the maemo-mapper program Mar 05 12:52:18 do they have world wide maps? Mar 05 12:52:27 not quite Mar 05 12:52:27 kinda Mar 05 12:52:33 but they cover a lot Mar 05 12:52:49 wayfinder's pretty much a bog standard "no frills" gps navigation software. Really wish we could parse their routable maps and create something better :( Mar 05 12:53:26 what formats does wayfinder use for maps? Mar 05 12:53:44 some vector format Mar 05 12:53:56 it isn't like the igo format? Mar 05 13:02:28 yay Mar 05 13:02:35 got my boxwave screen protector Mar 05 13:09:40 I have discovered that there are two types of command Mar 05 13:09:42 interfaces in the world of computing: good interfaces and Mar 05 13:09:44 user interfaces. Mar 05 13:09:46 -- djb Mar 05 13:12:37 johnx_, it was 12345.... me must have crappy fingers... could you slap my face with a big rotten trout please? :-) Mar 05 13:12:52 * jnbes must go buy replacement fingers Mar 05 13:13:34 meh...no trout here Mar 05 13:13:38 don't worry about it Mar 05 13:13:51 I'll just write an IOU if that's ok with you :) Mar 05 13:14:14 iou? Mar 05 13:14:27 I owe you one trout slap, signed johnx Mar 05 13:14:30 :D Mar 05 13:14:36 ok, fine Mar 05 13:15:00 * czr prefers YOMs Mar 05 13:15:24 czr, you wish I owed you a trout slap? O_o Mar 05 13:15:39 johnx_, of course. Mar 05 13:15:47 I'm that kind of boy. Mar 05 13:15:53 * johnx_ kries Mar 05 13:16:20 there are skeery people on the internet... Mar 05 13:16:26 .. Mar 05 13:20:17 johnx_, people? :-) Mar 05 13:20:31 skeery? Mar 05 13:20:36 * czr is pretty certain most nicks are just bots written in Tcl Mar 05 13:20:50 atleast i hope im not written in tcl Mar 05 13:20:57 ah, skeery Mar 05 13:21:09 jaska_, it could be worse. GW Basic. Mar 05 13:21:25 ti-basic is pretty bad too Mar 05 13:22:29 you can tell the language by how subtly they troll Mar 05 13:22:46 ahaha :D Mar 05 13:23:04 the sad little spammers are clearly VBA macros running in MS Office Mar 05 13:23:59 now look what you started :) Mar 05 13:24:21 it's not my fault you're all written in tcl :P Mar 05 13:24:31 also, gah, sapwood-server is being a PITA Mar 05 13:25:05 johnx_, not all. most. :-) Mar 05 13:25:15 some of the more silent ones are written in bf. Mar 05 13:25:26 they're not too bright in general. Mar 05 13:25:36 heh...there was a better one than bf that I saw the other day Mar 05 13:26:47 * czr is pretty certain that most GTK+ coders are just latent bf-coders, being cranky. Mar 05 13:29:01 hello there, I would like to know please how to install the statusbarclock, I mean, indeed I would like to know in which repository it exists. Instead using the "manual" .deb file installation I would like to install it using the debian APT/maemo Appl Man program. This is the link of the project https://garage.maemo.org/projects/statusbar-clock/ Mar 05 13:29:49 for OS2007 or OS2008? Mar 05 13:30:08 johnx_, OS2008 Mar 05 13:30:46 I don't believe that it is available in a repository Mar 05 13:31:16 I have both "installed" yet the extra and extra-devel maemo repository... Mar 05 13:31:17 mhh... Mar 05 13:31:19 really? Mar 05 13:31:56 most repositories are listed on gronmayer.com/it . If you search for statusbarclock you can see that it's not available from any of them Mar 05 13:33:31 czr, check out the malbolge language...it went years without a hello world... Mar 05 13:35:00 johnx_, haha. Mar 05 13:35:02 johnx_, ok Thanks! Mar 05 13:35:06 it looks like Perl++. Mar 05 13:35:56 the person who appears to have gotten the farthest with it programmed using cryptanalysis techniques O_o Mar 05 13:37:18 with what? Mar 05 13:37:57 shackan, malbolge...an "esoteric" programming language Mar 05 13:38:27 It's a fun language Mar 05 13:41:07 * Jaffa ponders this Silverlight news. Were MS planning a Linux port anyway, as that'd be enormous news making the front of /. (/me then wonders if Nokia PR are slightly inaccurate about this) Mar 05 13:41:37 well, moonlight has been in progress for a while, IIRC Mar 05 13:42:14 * aquatix doesn't care about light from redmond Mar 05 13:43:28 johnx_: Nokia and MS both advocating a Mono-based solution? I doubt it. Mar 05 13:43:51 aquatix: personally, I don't care either - but the politics are important; and I know a lot of people who will care. Mar 05 13:44:12 myeah Mar 05 13:44:25 I thought moonlight/mono was at least not completely condemned by MS? Mar 05 13:45:33 johnx_: not sure. I know there's still enough doubt over it and patents. If it were Moonlight-based, I'd've expected Novell to be mentioned in the PR (although admittedly it was dealing with S60 primarily; S40 & ITOS were relegated to a footnote saying "watch this space") Mar 05 13:46:26 hmm...I wonder if S60/S40 will have one implementation and ITOS will have another Mar 05 13:54:30 Will maemo accept projects in soc2008? Mar 05 13:55:59 can you format a memory card within the n800? Mar 05 13:56:04 yes Mar 05 13:56:14 how does one do this? ;] Mar 05 13:56:22 in file manager :) Mar 05 13:57:07 select memory card, menu -> tools -> format Mar 05 13:57:27 thanks Mar 05 14:00:55 also, that nokia tablet software update wizard is capable of reformating the n800 right Mar 05 14:00:58 ? Mar 05 14:01:24 yup...it "reflashes" the device, erasing everything on the internal flash Mar 05 14:01:35 gah...I should sleep Mar 05 14:01:39 'night all Mar 05 14:02:12 thanks Mar 05 14:02:15 night Mar 05 14:02:20 morning for me ;] Mar 05 14:10:14 hm howcome I have an update to the application map but it won't let me install it? says it's from another source? And I just put os2008 on here Mar 05 14:12:45 Morning. Mar 05 14:19:52 hm when you install something from maemo.org it automatically adds the repo to your source? Mar 05 14:23:42 ah nm Mar 05 14:23:53 maemo extras is already in but disabled by default Mar 05 15:00:55 hrm this youtube plugin for canola2 looks nice Mar 05 15:01:00 wonder how long till we see it Mar 05 15:06:11 Anyone else getting a dangling arm-none-linux-gnueabi-cc -> arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc symlink when trying to use maemo-sdk for Ubuntu gutsy? Mar 05 15:09:05 plb: we're finishing last bits Mar 05 15:09:21 k-s: awesome, can't wait Mar 05 15:09:21 also working on last.fm Mar 05 15:09:36 I actually haven't even tried canola yet..just got my n800 yesterday ;] Mar 05 15:09:53 k-s: aweseom +2 ;] Mar 05 15:09:59 er Mar 05 15:10:01 aweseom even Mar 05 15:10:22 and they'll be open source so people can extend canola Mar 05 15:10:34 only things I've installed so far are mplayer and pidgin Mar 05 15:10:38 we still need some hooks so plugins can act, but these will come with time Mar 05 15:10:48 and requirements, as we hate overthinking ;-) Mar 05 15:10:53 hehe Mar 05 15:52:11 hola Mar 05 16:10:00 hello Mar 05 16:11:28 later all...time to have a kip Mar 05 16:12:06 yawn, re Mar 05 16:15:23 an arm-optimized fmopl would benefit a lot of projects Mar 05 16:19:08 Good morning, folks. Mar 05 16:19:20 what is fmopl? Mar 05 16:20:00 a FM-synthesis chip for sound generation used in mame, dosbox, and a number of game engines Mar 05 16:20:13 :) Mar 05 16:20:25 it would best to run it on the dsp Mar 05 16:20:43 the rest of the sound blaster could be on the ARM Mar 05 16:20:53 why Mar 05 16:21:02 pcm tasks would be usefull Mar 05 16:21:18 i think.. Mar 05 16:21:34 because many projects could use the fmopl on dsp directly, and a sound blaster on dsp would only be useful to dosbox Mar 05 16:21:57 also if you look at cpu use, only the fmopl chip takes up much time Mar 05 16:22:08 the rest of the sb is just some signalling and sound buffering Mar 05 16:22:28 pcm mixing can take some cpu too Mar 05 16:22:37 especially many chans Mar 05 16:22:39 KotCzarny: SB's weren't multichannel. Mar 05 16:22:48 Only the AWE was, and that was in a strange way. =op Mar 05 16:23:00 Multichannel mixing was always done in hardware. Mar 05 16:23:11 Now the GUS, OTOH... =o) Mar 05 16:23:16 :) Mar 05 16:23:32 * texel would've given her eye-teeth for a GUS back in the days of the XTs. Mar 05 16:24:12 and you would have regret it today Mar 05 16:24:14 ;) Mar 05 16:24:20 teeth and eyes are important ;) Mar 05 16:24:40 Nah. Not really -- my eye-teeth just bite down on the inside of my lips, mostly. =op Mar 05 16:24:59 you would be amazed how much you will miss them Mar 05 16:25:01 :P Mar 05 16:25:02 :) Mar 05 16:25:04 Hehe Mar 05 16:26:38 Hello! I have been looking for a C compiler for the N800 and have not been able to locate one on the maemo website or anywhere on the web. Surely there must be a C compiler available for the N800. Could someone please point me in the right direction? Thanks! Mar 05 16:26:58 hltpyldr: do you need gcc or sdk? Mar 05 16:27:22 ie. you want to use it on nokia or prefer to just copy binaries from pc? Mar 05 16:27:25 Probably gcc I believe. Just for simple C programs that I will be writing in class. Mar 05 16:27:52 gcc and stuff is available Mar 05 16:28:01 though i don't remember exatcly from which repos Mar 05 16:28:10 if you don't have to enable them in a special way Mar 05 16:29:24 Ok, thank you. I'll look around for gcc then and see if I can locate something. Thanks! Mar 05 16:29:25 try: apt-get install gcc Mar 05 16:29:40 maybe it's already available Mar 05 16:30:59 I have not tried apt-gett'ing with the n800. I was not sure if I would screw anything up since it's got the ARM processor and all. Apt-get will work for installing apps (assuming that what I am looking for is in the repo)?? Mar 05 16:31:12 nope, it's safe Mar 05 16:31:25 that's great! i'll try it. Mar 05 16:31:32 unless you start playing with --force Mar 05 16:31:41 but that can break regular debian too Mar 05 16:31:41 ;) Mar 05 16:32:33 do I need to be sudo? Mar 05 16:32:40 hltpyldr: you need root, certainly. Mar 05 16:32:48 k Mar 05 16:33:03 ssh could be convenient for that Mar 05 16:33:04 :) Mar 05 16:33:09 hltpyldr: fortunately, the apt repositories defined for the N800 are also ARM, so you're safe doing an apt-get install, etc. Mar 05 16:34:33 texel: that's great to know, thanks! Mar 05 16:35:04 another happy customer, *ding* Mar 05 16:35:09 that would be 5E Mar 05 16:35:10 ;) Mar 05 16:37:21 5E? Mar 05 16:38:06 5 EUR Mar 05 16:38:06 Ahh. Mar 05 16:38:06 looks like there are several dependencies and it won't install them. it suggests that I use apt-get -f ... Mar 05 16:38:09 liri, http://www.internettablettalk.com/wiki/index.php?title=What_can_I_do_with_this_thing%3F Mar 05 16:38:38 -f refreshed package lists, doesn't it? Mar 05 16:38:42 GeneralAntilles: Interesting writeup on that page, btw -- sounds like you make extensive use of the thing. =o) Mar 05 16:38:43 refreshes Mar 05 16:38:49 No. Mar 05 16:38:53 -f forces an install. Mar 05 16:38:59 So -f is different from --force? Mar 05 16:39:00 apt-get update refreshes your package lists. Mar 05 16:39:07 ah, you're right Mar 05 16:39:15 I encourage anybody interested to add their own story. Mar 05 16:39:23 hltpyldr: don't force, satisfy Mar 05 16:39:24 :) Mar 05 16:39:44 GeneralAntilles: I probably will -- once I head out to Israel for my two week vacation. =o) Mar 05 16:39:53 I'll try update and upgrade and see if that solves it. Mar 05 16:40:14 and choose a easier nick to type on irc Mar 05 16:40:15 ;) Mar 05 16:40:18 an Mar 05 16:40:38 It's called tab-completion. Mar 05 16:40:47 it's called brain laziness Mar 05 16:40:57 Tab-completion is brain laziness of the first order. =o) Mar 05 16:41:37 Yay! My qemu build finished. =o) Mar 05 16:41:48 reminds me of all those automatically generated spam ;) Mar 05 16:42:10 * texel shrugs Mar 05 16:44:31 KotCzarny: texel: Thank you for your help. I have run apt-get update and upgrade and not all updates were made due to dependency issues. Still won't install gcc, but when I have more time, I'll install the dependencies. Mar 05 16:44:46 I need to leave now, but I wanted to thank you for your help! Mar 05 16:44:48 :) Mar 05 16:45:09 Have a great day! I'm psyched that apt-get works!!! Cheers! Mar 05 16:45:29 now, that was positive ;) Mar 05 16:46:02 That just gave me a big warm fuzzy feeling inside. =o) Mar 05 16:51:17 Any chance someone could show me what their /media/mmc2 line looks like in their /etc/fstab at all? Mar 05 16:51:29 (hopefully on an N810, but an N800 would work as well) Mar 05 16:51:37 * texel thinks she may have goofed up the line somehow Mar 05 16:51:48 ...and I need to compare it to the stock /etc/fstab Mar 05 16:52:51 mmc2 isn't mentioned. :\ Mar 05 16:53:04 /dev/mmcblk0p1 /media/mmc1 vfat rw,noauto,nodev,noexec,nosuid,utf8,uid=29999 0 0 Mar 05 16:53:09 txel: it's mounted from scripts Mar 05 16:53:09 That works, too. =o) Mar 05 16:53:17 ga: you don's have noatime Mar 05 16:53:19 ;) Mar 05 16:53:26 KotCzarny: the scripts just do a simple "sudo mount /mount/mmc#" Mar 05 16:53:27 It's stock, Kot. Mar 05 16:53:31 and probably for / neither Mar 05 16:53:38 So if the fstab is written wrong, they won't mount properly. Mar 05 16:53:41 Or mount at all. Mar 05 16:53:47 GeneralAntilles: thanks. =o) Mar 05 16:53:58 texel: i believe it launches mount-mmc script Mar 05 16:53:59 :) Mar 05 16:54:08 /usr/sbin/mmc-mount Mar 05 16:54:18 which will detect both cards Mar 05 16:54:20 or something Mar 05 16:54:22 Right. Mar 05 16:56:17 Perfect. Mar 05 16:56:28 :) Mar 05 16:56:29 Okay, so adding those options made mount /media/mmc2 behave properly. Mar 05 16:56:36 I had a bunch of weird ones in there. Mar 05 16:56:50 Like fmod=0666 and dmod=0000. Mar 05 16:56:55 also adding quiet as mount option is convenient Mar 05 16:56:57 :) Mar 05 16:57:03 I don't think the kernel understood what those options meant, so mount was failing. Mar 05 16:57:33 /dev/mmcblk0p1 on /media/mmc2 type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,noatime,uid=29999,fmask=0133,dmask=0000,codepage=cp437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,quiet,utf8) Mar 05 16:57:59 :) Mar 05 16:58:03 those are mine Mar 05 17:09:17 cool Mar 05 17:09:19 split again Mar 05 17:11:40 umkay Mar 05 17:11:49 so preliminary fitting is done Mar 05 17:11:58 anyone wants to try kcbatt ? Mar 05 17:11:59 ;) Mar 05 17:12:57 what is kobatt? Mar 05 17:13:02 kcbatt Mar 05 17:13:21 it's a retu-adc.c but upgraded for n800 Mar 05 17:14:22 retu-adc.c? O.o Mar 05 17:14:37 tells you how much battery charge still left Mar 05 17:14:40 in percent Mar 05 17:14:43 Ahh. Mar 05 17:14:48 Where does it live? Mar 05 17:14:55 ? Mar 05 17:14:57 In the CLI, or as a plugin somewhere? Mar 05 17:15:03 right now in cli Mar 05 17:15:06 Ahh. Mar 05 17:15:14 because i needed algorithm working first Mar 05 17:15:18 * texel nods Mar 05 17:15:20 Makes sense. Mar 05 17:15:25 I'm assuming more is coming? We've already got percentage: http://nitapps.com/ Mar 05 17:15:26 Is it packaged up, or just a raw binary? Mar 05 17:15:47 raw binary Mar 05 17:16:05 Holy crap, where did all that come from? =o) Mar 05 17:16:19 ga: where's the source? Mar 05 17:16:33 Note: Because battery-status relies on DBus signaling, running it has the unfortunate side effect of activating the battery applet. I will try to find a workaround for this. Mar 05 17:16:44 mine uses raw access to /dev/retu Mar 05 17:16:45 :P Mar 05 17:17:19 so, who has n8x0 and wants to test my algorithm? Mar 05 17:20:18 and when i finish my rundown tests i will add times as well Mar 05 17:26:43 anyway, here it is: http://mrrau.dyndns.org:23280/n800/kcbatt/ Mar 05 17:28:42 please let me know how well it works Mar 05 17:28:50 algo is v0.1 :) Mar 05 17:28:51 ty Mar 05 17:29:50 Interesting output. Mar 05 17:29:53 While charging, I get: Mar 05 17:30:01 retu-adc #8: -1 n800: -148% Mar 05 17:30:25 And with the charger disconnected. Mar 05 17:33:03 on n800 ? Mar 05 17:34:26 Mind you, according to DBUS, I have a full charge. Mar 05 17:34:26 This is on an N810. Mar 05 17:34:26 Well, you asked for an n8x0, so I figured that applied equally to the N810. =op Mar 05 17:34:26 I'm afraid I don't have an N800 to test with. Mar 05 17:34:28 which nokia do you have? Mar 05 17:34:35 N810 here. Mar 05 17:34:39 ah that will explain Mar 05 17:34:56 770 used another retu field Mar 05 17:35:01 Ahh. Mar 05 17:35:02 is there a shell command that will return the battery charge (N810) Mar 05 17:35:16 ac7ss: i'm working on it Mar 05 17:35:16 :) Mar 05 17:35:31 texel: wanna show me your adc? Mar 05 17:35:39 Erm... how? =op Mar 05 17:35:43 moment Mar 05 17:35:49 ac7ss: one that currently works (though with a rather annoying bug) is at http://nitapps.com/ Mar 05 17:37:43 texel: same dir Mar 05 17:37:43 oooh, just what I was looking for. (I see a few I wanted to write) Mar 05 17:38:35 erm. wait Mar 05 17:38:57 ahm, ok, go on Mar 05 17:39:01 fixed one bug :) Mar 05 17:40:14 Well, I'm afraid I can't stick around any longer. Mar 05 17:40:19 I have to get into work. Mar 05 17:40:29 let me know when you get back Mar 05 17:40:31 :) Mar 05 17:40:35 Sure. Mar 05 17:40:46 my guess fix is as simple as selecting another field Mar 05 17:42:02 * texel nods Mar 05 17:42:32 Okay, out~! Mar 05 17:42:36 :) Mar 05 17:46:57 ssvb :) Mar 05 17:47:18 hi KotCzarny :) Mar 05 17:47:33 which nokia do you have? Mar 05 17:47:44 Hello ! Mar 05 17:48:55 * febb Looking for someone who has a Nokia 770 and can transfer a file from the Operating system (video: Discovery.avi) to me trough IRC. Mar 05 17:49:04 o.O Mar 05 17:49:55 I can't install the repository from nitapps. :( I want GPS-Time. Mar 05 17:49:59 KotCzarny: 770 and N800, I also have still unused N810 developer's device program discount code :) Mar 05 17:50:22 ssvd: can you help me testing my program on n770/n800 ? Mar 05 17:50:22 :) Mar 05 17:51:59 ssvb: Do you have a 770 on hand now? Mar 05 17:52:55 ooh almost 10h uptime and no reboot Mar 05 17:52:59 febb: yes Mar 05 17:53:22 ssvb: Do you still have on your 770 the demo video from Discovery channel "Discovery.avi" ? Mar 05 17:53:49 febb: unfortunately I deleted it to save space Mar 05 17:54:20 ssvb : well, thx anyway :) Hope someone still has it available on their 770. Mar 05 17:55:38 you could always dig it from the firmware image. Mar 05 17:56:18 Juhaz: yeah, that is my last resort... Gotta find out how the firmware image is "built"..and then get into it... Mar 05 17:56:30 KotCzarny: Can't promise anything, I'm quite short of spare time lately Mar 05 17:56:46 ssvb: simple download, run and paste results to me Mar 05 17:56:47 :) Mar 05 17:57:58 febb, there's a flasher option. --unpack, -u Unpack a FIASCO image Mar 05 17:58:21 hi, anyone knows where microb store the list of sites opened? Mar 05 17:58:59 KotCzarny: ok, I can try this in about an hour Mar 05 17:58:59 Juhaz: that's good news. I suppose it unpacks the image into to the local pc disk... Mar 05 17:59:04 or http://maemo.org/community/wiki/Flasher_tool_usage/#2835bd18b76fb0352af794c2c00923e5 Mar 05 17:59:04 great, thx :) Mar 05 17:59:22 febb, yep Mar 05 17:59:24 Juhaz: thx! Mar 05 17:59:31 let me look at it right now. Mar 05 17:59:33 now I need to go offline, see you later Mar 05 17:59:37 :) Mar 05 17:59:48 Juhaz: that is with flasher 3.0, right? Mar 05 17:59:56 any version, probably. Mar 05 18:00:04 ok, let me check. Mar 05 18:00:06 thx Mar 05 18:02:54 downloading the image now..... Mar 05 18:03:19 the flasher's -u option does not work on the "regular" firmware image. Getting the FIASCO one now. Mar 05 18:08:45 febb, they're all FIASCO. Mar 05 18:08:58 ./flasher-3.0 -F -u Mar 05 18:09:10 quite unfortunate name for a product Mar 05 18:09:11 :) Mar 05 18:09:20 It's not a "product". Mar 05 18:09:29 part of the product Mar 05 18:09:34 is a product too Mar 05 18:10:44 GeneralAntilles: mmmm wierd, let me double check why that -u option did not work then..... Mar 05 18:11:19 febb, did you give both -u and -F? Mar 05 18:11:52 yep.... and the flasher has +x permissions.... .. Mar 05 18:12:05 ah ! got it, it downloads with an extra "," (comma) at the end. Mar 05 18:13:14 ok, worked... now I suppose I got to mount that root image... on a loop device.... correct? Mar 05 18:13:14 KotCzarny, pfft Mar 05 18:13:20 drges: ? Mar 05 18:14:10 it's not even part of a product. it's temporary storage for a part, like styrofoam packing. Mar 05 18:14:13 It's a fucking image format, not a product. Mar 05 18:14:43 s/format/compression method/ Mar 05 18:14:43 Drges meant: It's a fucking image compression method, not a product. Mar 05 18:14:54 yes, and you buy your products in shops without containers Mar 05 18:15:10 It never stops. Mar 05 18:15:13 He can't turn off. Mar 05 18:15:31 KotCzarny, I buy my gumballs out of gumball machines Mar 05 18:15:59 gumball machine is a packaging too Mar 05 18:16:04 The machine is as much of the product as the air around it Mar 05 18:16:06 but one you cannot take Mar 05 18:16:10 and the light that hits it Mar 05 18:16:21 marketing is a part of the product Mar 05 18:16:22 lol Mar 05 18:16:26 k-lined? Mar 05 18:16:45 Hi Mar 05 18:16:58 and the delivery truck, the men who delivered it, the paycheck that they recieve Mar 05 18:17:00 from the profits that the corporations get Mar 05 18:17:05 from the money we pay them Mar 05 18:17:10 from the work we do Mar 05 18:17:10 drges: yes Mar 05 18:17:19 The point being, why does it fucking matter? Mar 05 18:17:24 EVERYTHING is part of the product. Mar 05 18:17:28 yes Mar 05 18:17:38 otherwise it won't be a product Mar 05 18:18:07 Quite the tangent there Mar 05 18:19:29 GNUton, Hi Mar 05 18:20:40 hey Drges! Mar 05 18:20:41 Oh yeah, I remembered what i was going to say Mar 05 18:21:15 amnesia! :P Mar 05 18:22:12 KotCzarny, quit being such a pussy, you tried to cover yourself by slightly modifying your incorrect statement into a statement that's impossible be wrong. Admit your fagness and get it over with. There are many people sick of your attitude. Mar 05 18:22:30 so what? Mar 05 18:22:36 you have attitude too Mar 05 18:22:49 you don't like me? /ignore to the rescue Mar 05 18:23:09 KotCzarny, all of it is directed towards you, your attitude is towards everyone in the room Mar 05 18:23:58 well, the browser history seems to be stored at ~/.opera/global.dat -- anyone knows how is this file structured? Mar 05 18:24:26 drges: i'm not a problem, i can be wrong, but i don't call other people names just because i don't like their attitude Mar 05 18:24:31 that's childish Mar 05 18:25:00 KotCzarny, no, you're more of an asshole about it Mar 05 18:25:06 see? Mar 05 18:25:15 you did it again Mar 05 18:25:15 At least I have the balls to be direct. Mar 05 18:25:16 :) Mar 05 18:25:16 why don't you take your pissing match to /msg so everyone else doesn't have to use ignore? Mar 05 18:25:22 it's not the balls Mar 05 18:25:31 it's just childish 'calling names' Mar 05 18:25:46 KotCzarny, and you're not doing the same with me at this moment? Mar 05 18:25:49 juhaz: it's them that have problem Mar 05 18:26:07 drges: nope, i'm just defending myself :) Mar 05 18:26:36 Uh-huh Mar 05 18:26:40 Juhaz++ Mar 05 18:28:25 henrique, it's a tree structure Mar 05 18:28:31 saved as plaintext Mar 05 18:28:50 at least it should be Mar 05 18:34:48 Dregs, why do you think so? Mar 05 18:35:02 Yeah, Dregs! What the hell?! Mar 05 18:35:50 henrique, think what? Mar 05 18:36:12 Dregs, that it should be a tree structure? Mar 05 18:36:20 flap flap Mar 05 18:36:25 Dregs, and do you have some link about this? Mar 05 18:38:09 right ... I'm editing the control file to build a deb. In the "Build-Depends" section - do I list JUST the build dependencies required to compile? Or should I list packages that are also required to use the application? Mar 05 18:38:23 yabbas: runtime Mar 05 18:38:33 ty KotCzarny Mar 05 18:38:42 unless you make a source-deb package Mar 05 18:38:58 ah, sorry Mar 05 18:39:05 wrong. Mar 05 18:39:09 you're right Mar 05 18:39:17 hmm, hokay. Mar 05 18:39:29 in depends is runtime Mar 05 18:39:30 :) Mar 05 18:39:53 so despite the port needing imagemagik I shouldn't list it there as the compilation didn't need it? Mar 05 18:39:55 "ah, sorry" "you're right" ...I think you're qualified to enter into a relationship with women, now. You've unlocked the secret. ;) Mar 05 18:40:08 briand: nope, i'm very stubborn Mar 05 18:40:22 yes, but you've learned the two magic phrases! Mar 05 18:40:24 i'm i know i'm right :) Mar 05 18:40:36 s/^i'm/if/ Mar 05 18:41:00 briand: which nokia do you have? Mar 05 18:41:10 i've got the _right_ one! ;) Mar 05 18:41:16 umm.. the n800 Mar 05 18:41:16 *repeat*: so despite the port needing imagemagik I shouldn't list it there as the compilation didn't need it? ;) Mar 05 18:41:26 * lcuk is knackered Mar 05 18:41:45 * lcuk calls for a medic Mar 05 18:42:07 briand: can you help me testing my batt util? Mar 05 18:42:08 :) Mar 05 18:42:11 * GeneralAntilles hits the wrong button and shivs lcuk instead. Mar 05 18:42:24 if (knackered == medicated) { print "no you don't!"; Mar 05 18:42:29 got 4 more frames with vfp, not too bad Mar 05 18:42:30 oops. Mar 05 18:42:45 s/";$/"};/ Mar 05 18:42:51 knackered == an hour of mario vs sonic at the olypmics Mar 05 18:43:02 KotCzarny: batt util? Mar 05 18:43:18 to print remaining charge Mar 05 18:43:32 from command line :) Mar 05 18:43:42 two questions, well, three now... Mar 05 18:43:56 1) do you have an n800, or another device Mar 05 18:44:00 n800 Mar 05 18:44:00 2) has it been bricked? Mar 05 18:44:05 no Mar 05 18:44:05 3) where's the GUI ?? Mar 05 18:44:15 gui has batt status already Mar 05 18:44:21 i need one that i can run in scripts Mar 05 18:44:27 that's the reason :) Mar 05 18:44:31 sh or pl? Mar 05 18:44:34 (or both?) Mar 05 18:44:35 c Mar 05 18:44:48 can be done in pl i guess Mar 05 18:44:48 c would be source, not script Mar 05 18:45:10 but i don't want to depend on perl Mar 05 18:45:27 why use a command line tool when its simple to do it yourself, just use command line util to take a screenshot, send it to an online printer, get them to fax the results back put it on a wooden table, take a picture and finally ocr it Mar 05 18:45:29 batt=`kcbatt -q`; Mar 05 18:45:43 henrique, it was off of an old opera doc Mar 05 18:45:47 battery status == simple ;) Mar 05 18:45:48 depend on? nah... just make an optional perl module that will _also_ use the app to get results. :) Mar 05 18:45:56 :) Mar 05 18:46:04 see? I just doubled your software output, and you didn't need to do anything. Mar 05 18:46:18 :) Mar 05 18:46:23 henrique, I don't know about the tree, but it's ASCII title, ASCII URL, and then ASCII Date/Time Mar 05 18:46:24 anyway, can you try it? Mar 05 18:46:27 :) Mar 05 18:46:31 Dregs, I need to parse that file and get the list of sites accessed Mar 05 18:46:50 sure, why not (and why me?) Mar 05 18:47:05 mrrau.dyndns.org:23280/n800/kcbatt/ Mar 05 18:47:30 Dregs, right! this is what I think too, but what about the last data (most of time being "-1") ? Mar 05 18:47:34 henrique, the date/time in unix time format Mar 05 18:47:44 oh, how boring.. a 'standard' dyndns addy? didn't like the .is-a-geek.com domain? ;) Mar 05 18:48:00 -1 is when you've closed the browser Mar 05 18:48:03 I believe Mar 05 18:48:05 briand: that was first i go Mar 05 18:48:16 and my d-link only supoorted dyndns Mar 05 18:48:17 :) Mar 05 18:48:39 yes, but dyndns allows you to pick a domain other than dyndns... Mar 05 18:48:39 and later i was too lazy to change dyndns provider :) Mar 05 18:48:44 oh Mar 05 18:48:47 :) Mar 05 18:48:52 henrique, not "when" you've closed it, but the point in the history list where you did Mar 05 18:48:53 * briand is briand.is-a-geek.com Mar 05 18:48:53 but dyndns.org is shorter Mar 05 18:48:58 and easier to remember Mar 05 18:48:59 :) Mar 05 18:49:01 well, not me... but my mythtv box Mar 05 18:49:43 anyway.. ftp? http? what protocol are you running on port 23280 ? Mar 05 18:49:46 http Mar 05 18:50:25 http://mrrau.dyndns.org:23280/n800/kcbatt/ then... Mar 05 18:50:25 Dregs, what does "point" means? Mar 05 18:50:53 henrique, I don't know. It just writes a -1 whenever you close the browser Mar 05 18:50:57 i have added 770 mode Mar 05 18:51:15 and i will add 810 when i get someone to report adc values Mar 05 18:51:15 :) Mar 05 18:51:24 henrique, there's no real significance unless you want a quick way to sort the history by days Mar 05 18:51:28 I suppose Mar 05 18:51:36 s/days/when you've closed it/ Mar 05 18:54:03 KotCzarny: is there no call to determine the maximum number of values in the ioctl? ...would probably be better than assuming there were only 15, no? (debug routine) Mar 05 18:54:13 KotCzarny, i just found a site offering a battery status console app (here : http://nitapps.com/ ) Mar 05 18:54:15 Dregs, yeah, thanks for the infos :) Mar 05 18:54:16 debug is for debug Mar 05 18:54:23 lcuk: does it run from cmd line? Mar 05 18:54:28 yes Mar 05 18:54:32 apparantly Mar 05 18:54:36 does it NOT depend on dbus? Mar 05 18:54:40 This is a simple command-line tool to display the remaining battery charge of a tablet. Mar 05 18:54:40 [user@nokia ~]$ battery-status Mar 05 18:54:40 [Dec 29 22:57] 97.6% Mar 05 18:54:48 no, this is dbus Mar 05 18:54:54 yes, thanks Mar 05 18:54:59 ahhhh: Because battery-status relies on DBus signaling, running it has the unfortunate side effect of activating the battery applet. Mar 05 18:55:25 are you getting it by scraping the metal? Mar 05 18:55:39 ioctl on /dev/retu Mar 05 18:55:56 not that there is any harm in that Mar 05 18:55:58 :) cool Mar 05 18:56:03 anyway Mar 05 18:56:09 i would welcome ane feedback Mar 05 18:56:16 s/ane/any/ Mar 05 18:56:21 how well it runs on different nokias Mar 05 18:56:39 apparently n810 uses tother field than n800 Mar 05 18:57:05 i can provide a script to run retu-adc logging over time Mar 05 18:57:08 :) Mar 05 18:58:57 what happens on the 810, then? provides no result? Mar 05 18:59:11 wrong result Mar 05 18:59:21 because it checks wrong field Mar 05 18:59:36 on 770 it's #2, on 800 it's #8 Mar 05 18:59:58 for 810 i have to get debug from someone :) Mar 05 19:00:20 talk to the general -- he's got 2 of each Mar 05 19:00:29 he doesn't like me :) Mar 05 19:02:08 hi Mar 05 19:02:15 I am *not*!!! Mar 05 19:02:20 my eyes are always this color. Mar 05 19:02:22 hmph. Mar 05 19:02:28 not? Mar 05 19:02:34 :) Mar 05 19:03:37 I have problem with n770. When I turn it on the screen is white with vertical gray lines. Any help? Mar 05 19:03:52 huh Mar 05 19:04:29 have you been hacking it? Mar 05 19:04:36 or is it hardware problem? Mar 05 19:04:46 ssvb :) Mar 05 19:05:09 no, but last days it has some resets Mar 05 19:05:13 KotCzarny: I'm back Mar 05 19:05:30 ssvb: great, can you help me testing it then? :) Mar 05 19:05:32 ertwroc, that is a problem many users have run into Mar 05 19:05:48 KotCzarny: sure, what needs to be done? Mar 05 19:05:53 inz: is any way to fix it? Mar 05 19:05:57 ertwroc, unfortunately the 770 might have fallen victim to WSOD Mar 05 19:06:08 i need you to run my app and report how well it runs Mar 05 19:06:21 ertwroc, afaik the only way to fix it is to change the display Mar 05 19:06:38 inz: :/ Mar 05 19:06:47 ertwroc, if your warranty has run out, the cheapest way is probably to buy new one Mar 05 19:07:46 good excuse to upgrade to the n800, actually Mar 05 19:07:51 inz: thanks for help Mar 05 19:07:52 :) Mar 05 19:08:30 E_NOCOFFEE Mar 05 19:08:33 eeks! Mar 05 19:08:36 brb Mar 05 19:09:18 ertwroc, do a google search for wsod n770 and see whether your fault matches Mar 05 19:13:42 is there an accepted/approved method of removing the maemo development environment (for nearly immediate re-installation of same), or is `rm -rf` within /scratchbox sufficient? Mar 05 19:14:58 re hi Juhaz. Mar 05 19:16:25 anyone? Mar 05 19:17:17 ssvb: please join #kotc Mar 05 19:20:58 briand, try / instead . . . just to be sure. :P Mar 05 19:21:14 umm.. i think not, but thanks. Mar 05 19:21:22 ga at it's finest Mar 05 19:21:25 :) Mar 05 19:24:12 KotCzarny: perhaps, but he did, at least, provide an answer Mar 05 19:24:32 he was commenting on mine answers too Mar 05 19:24:36 :) Mar 05 19:24:57 briand: make sure you shutdown the sb environment, there should be an init script to do so Mar 05 19:25:10 briand: before rm -r'ing it, or else things will get all sorts of sad with the recursive bind-mounting it does Mar 05 19:25:29 or if not init script, a script inside sb that shuts it down Mar 05 19:25:34 i forget Mar 05 19:25:55 or just reboot and don't log into sb before rm'ing it, if you're willing to reboot Mar 05 19:26:37 'k... thanks. was just wondering if there was stuff outside of the /scratchbox area. i've already shut down the sb env Mar 05 19:26:38 quickest way to reinstall scratchbox for me is to re-extract the vmware image ;) Mar 05 19:27:27 dragorn: are you, by chance, the same dragorn that at one time created alternative .ko sources for the orinoco wireless card? Mar 05 19:27:41 yeah Mar 05 19:27:51 cool. nice to meet ya. Mar 05 19:27:58 and if theres a better way to remove sb than shutdown and rm -r, I don't know it Mar 05 19:28:10 that was a horrible misadventure, that freaking orinoco stuff. I gave up, eventually. Mar 05 19:28:40 won't compile on my FC8 box, under 2.6.23.15 kernel. Mar 05 19:28:57 doesn't surprise me in the least Mar 05 19:29:12 everything the kernel is totally different now Mar 05 19:29:14 :nod: and it looks like those that took it up followed through until about 2.6.21 .. perhaps I'll just wait a bit. Mar 05 19:29:41 honestly I don't even know where my orinoco is Mar 05 19:29:45 hi... anyone knows how to solve a "can't read superblock" error when unpacking a 770 firmware image and mounting the rootfs on a loop device. ? Mar 05 19:30:05 any hint is appreciated.. thx. Mar 05 19:30:13 i know where mine is... but i was hoping to do some kismet with it.. perhaps another time. not a pressing issue, to be sure Mar 05 19:30:31 briand: I'm much more interested in the mac80211 softmac layer Mar 05 19:31:09 still trying to fix the kismet startup reliability issues on the nokia before doing a package, it's working maybe three in every five launches Mar 05 19:31:19 ...which may be what's preventing the compile here... Mar 05 19:31:25 dragorn: cool. :) Mar 05 19:32:14 dragorn: hm, here it runs fine Mar 05 19:32:20 I fixed up the includes to point to the correct headers (linux/autoconf.h instead of linux/config.h, etc) .. but now it complains during compilet that 'mac' is not a member of sk_buff Mar 05 19:32:51 ynezz: sometimes it does. every time I think it's nailed down to running properly, the next time I fire things up it craps the bed and the NIC drops dead a few seconds in Mar 05 19:33:01 but, again, not an urgent thing here... let me get the maemo env re-installed on my other machine.. Mar 05 19:33:08 dragorn: thanks, again, for your help. :) Mar 05 19:33:30 dragorn: I just manually do ifconfig/ifconfig before and after running kismet Mar 05 19:33:31 and the only way I've found to get it even slightly consistent is to nuke wlancond and the power control, which means you have to reboot after running or else your battery tanks Mar 05 19:33:47 ynezz: yeah, that's all kismet does internally. Isn't reliable on any device I've got. Mar 05 19:34:06 ynezz: all it's doing is issuing the ioctls to set the interface mode, same as iwconfig and ifconfig Mar 05 19:34:34 ynezz: but either powersave or wlancond likes to take away the interface at some point and then it just stops getting packets w/ no error condition Mar 05 19:35:08 easy enough to test, isn't it? you can turn the wlan polling to 'never' Mar 05 19:35:24 ...and, likewise, crank up the powersave timeout Mar 05 19:35:29 briand: yeah, doesn't help. Effectively the same as killing wlancond Mar 05 19:35:48 powersave is relatively undocumented, and snapshotting the iw power state and restoring it, doesn't restore it Mar 05 19:36:06 which will kill a fully charged device in about 2 hours, idle Mar 05 19:36:13 ouch Mar 05 19:36:26 so theres some non-iw power control going on in there, too Mar 05 19:36:57 ...or, maybe it's just cranked up to 100 mW the whole time? Mar 05 19:37:00 killing wlancond is a sledgehammer approach, but prevents the whole reconnection/some other app trying to take over wireless Mar 05 19:37:14 shouldn't matter if it is, if it isn't sending any data Mar 05 19:38:54 whatever kills it doesn't change mode, it just stops getting packets anymore. Amusingly, this is exactly the same problem with the new orinoco drivers, but totally unrelated Mar 05 19:39:31 it's a self-inflicted DoS attack! ;) Mar 05 19:46:00 dragorn: how long does it take when kismet stops receiving packets? I tried to run/stop it three times and it still works Mar 05 19:46:11 2-5 minutes Mar 05 19:46:16 or just use tcpdump Mar 05 19:46:18 same problem there Mar 05 19:47:26 hm strange, I was running airmon-ng for about 6 hours and no problem Mar 05 19:49:02 is therfe any way to view bloomberg video Mar 05 19:50:27 is there some magic to save a snapshot of a running program to flash and then resume it later? Mar 05 19:50:41 ynezz: when it works, it works. Problem is, it doesn't all the time. Mar 05 19:50:48 pupnik: not that I know of Mar 05 19:52:51 "Application State-saving and Auto-save" http://maemo.org/development/documentation/tutorials/Maemo_tutorial_bora.html Mar 05 19:52:52
