Mar 21 05:45:36 jaem: download the ubuntu alternate cd or debian Mar 21 05:45:44 I use Arch Linux Mar 21 05:45:48 Arch FTW Mar 21 05:45:50 ubuntu = unstable debian :) Mar 21 05:46:19 * xnt uses gentoo on powerful machines, my xps is an exception Mar 21 05:46:29 i used gentoo for quite a while Mar 21 05:46:37 but i started to hate it.. it's not really good as a server Mar 21 05:46:40 gentoo for nit? Mar 21 05:46:41 xnt: Arch is Gentoo without the Gentoo Mar 21 05:46:49 fireun: yep, google it Mar 21 05:46:50 heh Mar 21 05:46:53 you mean without portage? Mar 21 05:47:07 building a kernel may take awhile Mar 21 05:47:08 Macer: have you used Arch? Mar 21 05:47:08 * xnt will try arch... maybe tomorrow Mar 21 05:47:20 it took 20 gentoo installs to actually figure out how to fly through the process Mar 21 05:47:22 how about freebsd for nit? Mar 21 05:47:31 it's meant for experienced users, but it's not masochistic Mar 21 05:47:33 no.. never used arch.. but then again i use fbsd for most of the servers i have Mar 21 05:47:34 how about.... Mar 21 05:47:46 Macer: it's really very nice Mar 21 05:47:53 so is debian ;) Mar 21 05:48:04 and ubuntu Mar 21 05:48:09 their primary philosophy is KISS - much more than any other distro I've tried Mar 21 05:48:10 then again.. for real world use i'd rather use centos or rhel Mar 21 05:48:29 and it makes *buntu seem bloated (even though it isn't) Mar 21 05:48:38 Macer: I use centos for my server (dell poweredge 2800) Mar 21 05:48:46 ubuntu just gets it done Mar 21 05:49:00 not much time spent at a debug view Mar 21 05:49:03 ubuntu kind of reminds me of redhat when linux was young Mar 21 05:49:03 fireun: I'm not criticizing Ubuntu Mar 21 05:49:08 "the easy one" Mar 21 05:49:10 heh Mar 21 05:49:14 jaem_N810: and I'm just contrasting (: Mar 21 05:49:17 it isn't bad though Mar 21 05:49:21 it just doesn't suit me these days Mar 21 05:49:23 i would just rather use debian Mar 21 05:49:32 pacman > apt Mar 21 05:49:43 waka waka Mar 21 05:49:50 every fever for a flavor of a linux Mar 21 05:50:16 personally I prefer apt, but I've seen pacman it's nice :) Mar 21 05:50:21 yeah Mar 21 05:50:43 Arch has nice schwag, too Mar 21 05:50:47 but compiling from source is better but its faster to apt Mar 21 05:50:50 apt's backend works, its front end is... a mismash and not allways smart Mar 21 05:50:55 * jaem_N810 wants the handmade silver necklace Mar 21 05:51:00 fireun: agreed Mar 21 05:51:06 i wouldn't go so far as to say compiling from source is better Mar 21 05:51:08 xnt: pacman uses binaries Mar 21 05:51:09 agreed Mar 21 05:51:21 oh ok :) Mar 21 05:51:30 i suppose you could tweak gcc settings a bit to get it to go .00001 faster.. but it isn't worth it Mar 21 05:51:33 xnt: yaourt is a frontend to pacman (bin) and AUR (community build scripts) Mar 21 05:51:43 only time i could see compiling from source is when your distro doesn't have bins for your cpu Mar 21 05:52:08 so anything that hasn't been accepted into repos can be automatically built if there's a script Mar 21 05:52:15 jaem_N810: is arch available for powerpc/ps3? Mar 21 05:52:19 and packaging in Arch is dead easy Mar 21 05:52:38 xnt: I believe there is a ppc port, but I don't think it's official Mar 21 05:52:52 I think it's unofficially-official Mar 21 05:53:25 * xnt arch will run perfectly on my ps3 Mar 21 05:53:34 http://archlinuxppc.org/ Mar 21 05:53:35 * thinks Mar 21 05:53:39 thanks Mar 21 05:54:59 my friend is going to dual-boot his Alienware laptop with Arch tonight :D Mar 21 05:55:06 jaem: ubuntu is too slow on my ps3: 3.2 Cell proc, 256mb ram, and no gfx card access Mar 21 05:55:14 : Mar 21 05:55:16 :) Mar 21 05:55:22 what's the best way to resize ntfs? GParted LiveCD? Mar 21 05:55:38 xnt: arch should work, but it may be fun Mar 21 05:55:39 jaem: do you think arch will work on my IBM R32? Mar 21 05:55:45 no idea Mar 21 05:55:56 does it support ibm_acpi? Mar 21 05:56:05 I've only used x86[_64] Mar 21 05:56:11 * xnt 's IBM overheats with linux :( Mar 21 05:56:17 xnt: let me remote one of my machines and check Mar 21 05:56:22 ok :) Mar 21 05:56:29 are you talking about a kernel module? Mar 21 05:57:23 ibm-acpi.sf.net Mar 21 05:57:32 I think so Mar 21 05:57:46 search ibm-acpi Mar 21 05:57:56 or just ibm Mar 21 05:58:09 * jaem_N810 is checking Mar 21 05:58:10 * xnt is sick of windows on his IBM Mar 21 05:58:14 lol Mar 21 05:58:15 :) Mar 21 05:59:35 jaem_N810: does arch have compiz? Mar 21 05:59:52 thinkpad acpi is there. I don't see anything else in the default kernel config Mar 21 05:59:59 you may have to recompile Mar 21 06:00:07 xnt: of course Mar 21 06:00:17 ok thanks, np I can recompile kernels :) Mar 21 06:00:37 the Arch repos are fairly large, but the AUR (buildscript repo) is massive Mar 21 06:00:49 so you can get most things Mar 21 06:01:03 ok now , my next reinstall on my xps will be arch :) Mar 21 06:01:23 and if you can't, write a buildscript, post it to AUR, and eventually, it might get moved to the repos Mar 21 06:01:29 I'm not sure of the process Mar 21 06:01:42 xnt: it's nice Mar 21 06:01:57 it's also cutting-edge Mar 21 06:02:12 although they generally keep the stable stuff too Mar 21 06:02:18 but it's rolling-release Mar 21 06:03:14 ibm-arch xps-arch eee-debian or arch(it depends on the usability on eee701) server-centos ps3-arch :) Mar 21 06:04:10 blanix Mar 21 06:04:22 oh and school server arch (ubuntu is to slow for amd duron 1.2ghz 512mb ram, and crappy graphics card) Mar 21 06:04:50 all my machines except my N810 and Palm run Arch Mar 21 06:05:02 I don't have my Palm running Linux atm Mar 21 06:05:15 I need to buy a new SD card - they're cheap Mar 21 06:05:22 jaem: which palm do you have? Mar 21 06:05:37 but not at the stores that are < 45 minutes away by bus Mar 21 06:05:46 xnt: Zire 72 Mar 21 06:05:51 oh ok Mar 21 06:06:07 is there an easy way to map my menu key on my N810 to Tab? Mar 21 06:06:20 it's annoying as heck typing in the console without a tab key Mar 21 06:06:36 dunno, don't have n810 with me Mar 21 06:07:13 * xnt uses an external usb keyboard when on irc or terminal for extended periods of time Mar 21 06:07:37 I'd like to, but I often spontaneously remote things while around campus Mar 21 06:08:05 jaem: is this maemo? Mar 21 06:08:14 or mer,ubuntu Mar 21 06:09:34 maemo Mar 21 06:11:19 jaem: sorry have to go to sleep, parents woke up :(, ask someone around here, GeneralAntilles , do you mind if you hel p him Mar 21 06:11:41 kk Mar 21 06:11:45 night Mar 21 06:38:46 I installed a couple of things yesterday via the app manager to my n810. Everything was working fine until this morning when I turned it on again. It wouldn't go past the splash screen progress bar thingy dingy. :-( Mar 21 06:39:09 so I had the brilliant idea of re-flashing the thing Mar 21 06:39:19 famous last words Mar 21 06:40:01 I now have a n810 that won't boot, and I can't flash Mar 21 06:41:01 oh and the weird bit... the only way I can turn the pig off is by taking the battery out! :-O Mar 21 06:43:11 ok I understand that I've completely fubar'd my toy and that it's all me own stupid fault. But is there anything I can do to fix this? Mar 21 06:46:43 ./flasher-3.0 -F ./RX-44_DIABLO_5.2008.43-7_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin -f sends the xloader image ok, but then it dies sending the secondary image with... Write failed after 0 bytes usb_bulk_write: Resource temporarily unavailable Mar 21 06:49:50 anyone have any suggestions? Mar 21 07:42:28 argh Mar 21 07:42:49 my N800 just got stuck in a reboot loop, when booting it goes part of the way of the progress bar, then reboots Mar 21 07:43:11 I'm heading out for a long trip in 30 minutes and was planning on using it for entertainment during the trip Mar 21 07:43:44 but there is no hope of getting it reflashed and have all the apps I had installed before then :( Mar 21 07:56:44 morning Mar 21 07:57:12 TPC: if you get progress bar it's hardly hosed :P Mar 21 08:00:23 Stskeeps, you have any suggestions then? Mar 21 08:00:57 TPC: well, if you get progress bar then you can definately reflash it, but yes, you're right, you need to reinstall and stuff :/ Mar 21 08:01:37 * Stskeeps goes take a look at his n800 which has vertical scrolling issue. Mar 21 08:44:57 http://internettablettalk.com/forums/showpost.php?p=273468&postcount=9 <- sigh. Mar 21 08:51:51 <`0660> :/ Mar 21 08:53:47 wb qwerty12 Mar 21 08:53:52 Thanks Stskeeps Mar 21 08:54:03 * Stskeeps is currently preparing to reflash his n800 to see if the scrolling problem disappears Mar 21 08:54:38 I fear I may reap the "benefits" of treating my N800's screen badly soon too... Mar 21 08:54:58 yeah Mar 21 08:55:10 i was really cursing all through last night after i realized what it was doing Mar 21 08:55:24 felt like my dog died or something :P Mar 21 08:56:03 then again. i'm sure it will be just excellent for rolling text display, hmm :P Mar 21 08:56:10 hehe Mar 21 08:56:25 i'm sure lcuk can make some kind of effect exploiting that. Mar 21 09:34:41 wb meiz Mar 21 09:35:54 can i run fsck on a mounted drive Mar 21 10:24:42 http://www.flickr.com/photos/myrtti/3372596780/ Mar 21 10:24:45 http://www.flickr.com/photos/myrtti/3372596788/ Mar 21 10:33:32 Myrtti, do you use ovi?

Mar 21 10:37:06 I don't remember the current terms, since I've paid for flickr for several years Mar 21 10:37:15 but the pro accounts don't have restrictions Mar 21 10:37:16 oh it costs Mar 21 10:37:31 there is an option of not paying :-) Mar 21 10:37:31 ok, just a thought about the flickr integration on ovi.. I have to run now Mar 21 10:37:40 I mean I just thought about it Mar 21 10:37:44 Toodles Mar 21 10:39:11 hehe Mar 21 10:39:13 tata Mar 21 10:56:33 CAEK. omnomnom Mar 21 11:03:10 damn myrtti Mar 21 11:03:19 now I want cake Mar 21 11:34:59 morning VDVsx Mar 21 11:35:18 morning Stskeeps Mar 21 11:35:57 Stskeeps, do you have beagleboard's at your univ lab ?

Mar 21 11:37:53 Stskeeps, besides the board, what should I need more, in terms of cables ? Mar 21 11:38:22 Stskeeps, wooo, nice hack Mar 21 11:38:23 lol Mar 21 11:38:33 VDVsx: no, not nice hack, my tablet is broken :( Mar 21 11:38:40 it does it in mer too :( Mar 21 11:38:52 :( Mar 21 11:39:11 but thank god i can still use it for skype, with a bit of target practice.. Mar 21 11:39:45 I seen something similar in a old CRT screen Mar 21 11:41:06 Stskeeps: That can be the flat cable that is a bit lose, I think. Mar 21 11:41:18 X-Fade: yeah.. i don't have a proper thing to open it with though Mar 21 11:41:23 but may be able to find one Mar 21 11:41:39 I guess that is your best option.. Mar 21 11:41:56 VDVsx: https://specialcomp.com/beagleboard/order.htm , IDC10 to DB9M bulkhead Mar 21 11:42:11 There is this website showing nudies of the tablet, so you know how to open it and put it back together ;) Mar 21 11:42:32 Or just grab the nokia l1 service manual ;) Mar 21 11:42:35 VDVsx: https://specialcomp.com/beagleboard/DSCN0394.JPG is pretty much what you need for extensive use , https://specialcomp.com/beagleboard/DSCN0394.JPG Mar 21 11:42:51 er, double paste Mar 21 11:42:53 qwerty12: Or that. Mar 21 11:43:12 <_allen_> VDVsx: hi, all Mar 21 11:43:25 hello _allen_ Mar 21 11:44:10 <_allen_> VDVsx: I don't have an Nokia N800 mobile, is this an requirement to apply the socialApp? Mar 21 11:44:51 _allen_, no, you can use the maemo SDK :) Mar 21 11:45:23 X-Fade: on the other hand, this thing is excellent for detecting if something is doing too many screen updates.. Mar 21 11:45:24 _allen_: It probably won't be as fun as when you have a tablet, but it can be done. Mar 21 11:45:38 X-Fade: cos the image is stable when a lot of updates are being done ;) Mar 21 11:45:43 Stskeeps: Heh ;) Mar 21 11:45:59 Yeah, it is synchro which is off probably.. Mar 21 11:46:11 <_allen_> VDVsx: can SDK be used to test the application? Mar 21 11:49:14 Stskeeps: I used to do the same in the window3.1 timeframe using a TSR program Mar 21 11:50:22 hehe.. if this was intentional it would be interesting Mar 21 11:50:23 :P Mar 21 11:51:46 i wonder if mer with the automatic updates works ok Mar 21 11:52:35 does it shift for every screeen update? Mar 21 11:53:18 i think it's really when it doesn't update or something Mar 21 11:53:30 but it's awkward Mar 21 11:53:35 .. i'm going to install mer to see something Mar 21 12:04:37 _allen_, yes Mar 21 12:05:14 the majority of the GSoC projects don't require the actual device, the sdk should be enough :) Mar 21 12:05:28 qwerty12 and b-man, are on the news again :) Mar 21 12:06:01 Lol, I am? I didn't shoot him! :P Mar 21 12:06:17 qwerty12, http://www.linuxdevices.com/news/NS3386655708.html?kc=rss Mar 21 12:06:34 :) Mar 21 12:20:43 hm, going price locally for N800 seems to be 100-150E Mar 21 12:20:49 (used) Mar 21 12:21:36 ah, yeah, used Mar 21 12:22:11 It seems slightly unobtainable as new Mar 21 12:22:21 yeah i guess so Mar 21 12:22:26 ah wait, one store at 200 Mar 21 12:22:54 still, a lot of cash :P Mar 21 12:22:54 i bought 810 for 180 EUR a month ago here Mar 21 12:23:11 aftermarket, but unused Mar 21 12:25:54 X-Fade: funny fact, it doesnt act up with automatic update mode, heh Mar 21 12:27:09 hm Mar 21 12:27:30 The question is, is it software problem or hw problem? :-) You'd think sw would reset with pulling out battery though Mar 21 12:27:43 Hi, the proposals for GSoC are closed and atm you have to apply to some published idea, right? Mar 21 12:27:45 ShadowJK: i think it's a HW or a kernel problem Mar 21 12:30:08 Stskeeps: Hmm then it sounds more like a software issue indeed. Mar 21 12:30:42 X-Fade: yes or no .. fb_update_mode auto heals the problem Mar 21 12:30:46 but is arse slow obviously Mar 21 12:34:15 diega, no Mar 21 12:34:30 diega, you can propose your own idea Mar 21 12:35:11 VDVsx: thanks, porting some application could apply or is just to easy? Mar 21 12:35:26 diega, depends Mar 21 12:36:26 diega, which app do you have in mind Mar 21 12:36:28 ? Mar 21 12:37:07 VDVsx, I was thinking on porting Comix 4.0 which is a totally rewritten of the already 3.6 ported Mar 21 12:38:54 diega, it should be a very easy task for a 3 month project Mar 21 12:39:12 VDVsx, yes, I though that Mar 21 12:45:36 hey yerga Mar 21 12:45:48 Hi qwerty12_N800 Mar 21 12:49:08 Stskeeps, tearfree fullscreen rgb scrolling o_O Mar 21 12:49:16 yes.. Mar 21 12:49:17 :P Mar 21 12:49:56 have you removed the battery and stuff Mar 21 12:50:32 yes, but now i've found that fb_update_mode auto will cure the problem.. not best way, but i dont want video on my tablet anyhow Mar 21 13:01:46 moo all Mar 21 13:02:11 baa RST38h Mar 21 13:03:17 it's like "yaay. no pants today" Mar 21 13:05:47 Stskeeps, manual vs auto mode. which is default in use in diablo Mar 21 13:05:53 manual Mar 21 13:06:09 ie the software itself decides when to call a refresh Mar 21 13:06:18 yeah Mar 21 13:06:31 which generally does a small patch update Mar 21 13:07:02 Auto, I've noticed, doesn't play nice with XSP. Mar 21 13:07:50 on the other hand, it's better than a dead n800 Mar 21 13:07:55 oh yessss Mar 21 13:07:59 fbreader updated Mar 21 13:09:05 * qwerty12_N800 recommends to backup /usr/share/FBReader/icons before updating... Mar 21 13:09:40 Stskeeps, so is this with default diablo itself or some frankenbuild Mar 21 13:10:05 Also, their version of libbz2 on their site is older than Nokia's version. Mar 21 13:12:39 lcuk: default diablo Mar 21 13:14:33 you got bootmenu thing installed Mar 21 13:14:45 yeah, now i do Mar 21 13:14:51 had to test mer Mar 21 13:15:09 and does that croll Mar 21 13:15:10 s Mar 21 13:15:32 yes, it does, occasionally Mar 21 13:16:13 congratulations! you have created an alien Mar 21 13:16:43 anyway, vanishing will bbl Mar 21 13:58:39 qwerty: new icons look ok Mar 21 13:59:00 RST38h: not to me imho Mar 21 13:59:01 qwerty: although I understand what you mean, they aren't that likeable Mar 21 13:59:07 just "ok" Mar 21 13:59:16 :) Mar 21 13:59:52 * RST38h does not like what has been done to the progress bar though Mar 21 14:00:05 the original progress bar (with chapter marks) looks way uglier now Mar 21 14:07:09 * rmt yawns. Mar 21 14:07:18 It's been a tough morning. Mar 21 14:07:22 indeed Mar 21 14:17:28 * Jaffa yawns Mar 21 14:17:38 morning Mar 21 14:18:58 * Stskeeps is updating theme stuffies Mar 21 14:18:59 * Jaffa thinks it might be "package libgee into extras" night tonight. Mar 21 14:19:24 Stskeeps: any new screenshots showing consistent icon sizes in the top bar, and using wazd's new templates? (Saw the artwork page: nice) Mar 21 14:20:39 working on the theme right now Mar 21 14:20:48 http://trac.tspre.org/meiz/screenshots/oxygen/screenshot03.png Mar 21 14:20:50 is quite close Mar 21 14:22:58 the personalisation window thing should really be transparent =) Mar 21 14:28:04 RST38h: like http://i42.tinypic.com/2ce3pz5.png :p Mar 21 14:40:45 qwerty: Naah, the background has to show through but not the other windows Mar 21 14:41:07 anyone know what puts the 'X' in the top left corner of an app - window manager - is it "hildon desktop" ? Mar 21 14:41:12 top right Mar 21 14:41:26 probably matchbox Mar 21 14:41:27 matchbox Mar 21 14:41:48 lbt: usually, but in mer it's HD Mar 21 14:42:30 ta - I'm debugging why Qt apps are kill -9'ed when X is hit... it's rude Mar 21 14:47:07 lbt: because if you kill 'em gently they are not guaranteed to die? Mar 21 14:47:47 it should send WM signals AFAIK... it's a bug Mar 21 14:47:59 probably in the maemo-isation of QT Mar 21 14:48:36 * RST38h scream DIE! DIE! and kills a QT application with extreme prejudice Mar 21 14:48:47 s/scream/screams Mar 21 14:49:26 oh so you do run Qt apps then :) Mar 21 14:52:35 * RST38h does it hypothetically =) Mar 21 14:52:43 (in WindowsXP right now) Mar 21 14:54:53 * lbt feels for RST38h and quietly lights a candle whilst offering up a few words to The Spaghetti Lord Mar 21 14:58:31 is there xkill for maemo? :) Mar 21 15:38:00 theres always something in the way of relaxing Mar 21 15:38:13 now the wii has stopped eating games disks Mar 21 15:38:58 * qwerty12_N800 's philosophy: iso's over disks Mar 21 15:39:26 somehow i dont think an iso would help Mar 21 15:39:34 or can i play from memory card Mar 21 15:41:05 I *think* you can play from memory card (don't own a wii). When I played on my old xbox, I'd transfer iso's over the network onto its hard drive :) Mar 21 15:41:16 no hard drive Mar 21 15:41:31 and no triwing screwdriver == unhappy jacob Mar 21 15:42:14 have you tried blowing into the slot? Mar 21 15:42:20 dust Mar 21 15:42:39 .. or toys Mar 21 15:43:02 i think its a sticker, some disks play, others make a growling noise that wakes the dead Mar 21 15:43:09 kinda like puttin a lolly stick in your bike ;) Mar 21 15:46:22 go to maplin and buy a tri-wing.... Mar 21 15:48:22 lbt, maplin kit with triwings are head adapters and are too large (girth) for the holes Mar 21 15:48:39 * lcuk investigated earlier Mar 21 15:48:49 ive ordered one from ebay Mar 21 15:49:00 lemme go look at mine Mar 21 15:49:04 I was going to say Mar 21 15:55:02 qwerty12_N800: you know much about themes? Mar 21 15:56:10 Stskeeps: not a lot Mar 21 15:56:37 But, out of interest, why? :) Mar 21 15:56:42 i just wonder cos well, i have a icon file in themes/X/images, but it doesn't override the icon from /usr/share/icons/hildon Mar 21 15:57:26 What icon is this meant to replace? Mar 21 15:58:12 qgn_grid_tasknavigator_others for instance Mar 21 15:58:41 Have you refreshed icon cache and rebooted? Mar 21 15:58:53 say how come default installed SDL lib doesn't play ogg ? Mar 21 15:59:02 mean sdl_mixer Mar 21 15:59:03 gtk-update-icon-cache -f /usr/share/icons/hildon , yeah Mar 21 15:59:05 and rebooted Mar 21 15:59:08 Hmm :/ Mar 21 15:59:17 and the theme did hildon-theme-cache Mar 21 15:59:18 r Mar 21 16:00:23 joyrider: OS2008 doesn't support OGG by default - only by way of a community package by kulve. I built the diablo sdlmixer which supports OGG here: http://qwerty12.maemobox.org/sdl/ but I wouldn't pass that deb around for people to install - I didn't do much testing on it Mar 21 16:01:12 i see so no ogg support basicly :/ Mar 21 16:01:34 what about mp3 files it doesn't seem to be willing to play that either Mar 21 16:01:41 or do i have to get the smpeg lib Mar 21 16:02:04 Yeah, it's not built with smpeg support either. I think I built one with smpeg for ukki somewhere Mar 21 16:02:18 i see so only mods then Mar 21 16:03:16 and i can't find any wav to mod converter, if that even exists :/ Mar 21 16:04:09 But for oggs, http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel/pool/diablo/free/s/sdl-mixeroggwav1.2/ exists - afaik, you use that as your build dep instead when building for extras Mar 21 16:04:23 Oh, I guess wavs too looking at the name Mar 21 16:05:08 hmm it already played wav's at least for sound Mar 21 16:21:37 bblater Mar 21 16:23:45 Stskeeps: Ok, I think I got it. In /usr/share/icons/, make a folder with the name of your theme and place the icon you want replacing in your icons/ folder with the same structure as hicolor and do a "gtk-update-icon-cache -f /usr/share/icons/" and reboot Mar 21 16:24:49 hmm, that's interesting Mar 21 16:30:59 when trying to flash the firmware of my N800 on linux I get the following error: "Unable to enumerate USB buses! Mar 21 16:31:02 " Mar 21 16:31:22 any ideas what could be wrong? the device shows up fine in dmesg, and usbfs is mounted Mar 21 16:31:36 .. and you're root? Mar 21 16:32:28 yes Mar 21 16:32:33 w Mar 21 16:32:55 Tried the perl trick here: Mar 21 16:32:59 note that this is on a home-made linux distro (loosely based on linuxfromscratch) so I may not have some udev rules or something that most distros have Mar 21 16:32:59 ~flashing Mar 21 16:33:00 from memory, flashing is http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_tablet_firmware Mar 21 16:33:02 ? Mar 21 16:33:12 TPC: ah, all bets are off then Mar 21 16:33:12 :P Mar 21 16:33:52 usbfs sounds a bit fucky Mar 21 16:34:16 qwerty12_N800, I'll try it Mar 21 16:37:27 qwerty12_N800, that perl trick doesn't seem to do anything Mar 21 16:37:41 qwerty12_N800, the md5sum of the flasher is identical after running the script Mar 21 16:37:59 and when I do a manual grep for the string its supposed to change on the flasher it doesn't find anything Mar 21 16:38:16 Odd. I haven't actually had a need to use it myself though, so I dunno how/if it works :/ Mar 21 16:41:06 I guess I'll try doing it in some more common linux distro in a virtual machine Mar 21 16:52:06 anyone good with Inkscape? :P Mar 21 16:55:41 hah, figured out the problem Mar 21 16:55:51 I had the wrong version of libusb, the flasher requires the older version Mar 21 16:56:29 I guess I'll report it as a bug to libusb, since the libusb website says that the new version + their compatiblity library should make all apps that used the old version work, even without a recompile Mar 21 16:58:47 *nod* Mar 21 17:03:28 and more importantly, it was successful, its not stuck in a reboot loop anymore after doing ./flasher-3.0 --set-rd-flags=no-lifeguard-reset -R Mar 21 17:03:31 :) Mar 21 17:03:58 what does that do, tell it to still boot even if some init script is failing? Mar 21 17:04:31 and if my guess was correct, is there some log file or something where I can check exactly what the problem was? Mar 21 17:04:35 if it gets stuck in a reboot loop something is usually wrong :P Mar 21 17:05:16 well, I ran an update last night, it updated 6 packages, so maybe that did something Mar 21 17:05:25 or maybe it was the fact that I disabled metalayer-crawler from starting Mar 21 17:06:15 there aren't really logs - you can install ksyslog, enable framebuffer to see boot messages on screen or boot from initfs to see boot messages being dumped to your console Mar 21 17:06:36 ok Mar 21 17:42:20 lcuk, ping Mar 21 17:42:59 i crashed drawing app :) tried to doubletouch it :) Mar 21 18:02:11 anybody here? Mar 21 18:02:29 yep Mar 21 18:02:31 hi Mar 21 18:02:38 this is my first time on the irc channel Mar 21 18:02:46 oh my Mar 21 18:02:49 yes im a noob and im sorry Mar 21 18:02:59 ive been on the forums a lot Mar 21 18:03:55 irc is simple from user perspective Mar 21 18:03:58 im having problems setting up my scratchbox environment on my ubuntu 8.10 install Mar 21 18:04:28 for some reason scratchbox wont let me switch to the X86 Mar 21 18:04:34 ~greet Cruelkix Mar 21 18:04:35 * infobot dumps a bucket of cold oatmeal on Cruelkix Mar 21 18:04:45 haha Mar 21 18:04:48 o_O Mar 21 18:05:04 Cruelkix: did you apply the vdso stuff? Mar 21 18:05:10 yeah Mar 21 18:05:52 infobot, and you call that a greeting? :-/ Mar 21 18:05:55 i used sudo sysctl vm.vdso_enabled=0 Mar 21 18:06:22 slonopotamus: it's some sortof greeting Mar 21 18:06:23 nothin like an oatmeal shower Mar 21 18:06:26 slonopotamus: saw my fantastic video? :P Mar 21 18:06:42 Stskeeps, nope Mar 21 18:07:25 i also went into grub and changed that, but im not sure i did it right. pressed "e" on the kernal and added vsdo=0 Mar 21 18:07:35 Stskeeps, you & two blondes? :P Mar 21 18:07:41 slonopotamus: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hcm5TYGwTwU , and think for a second if that happened to your tablet. it's a bit like watching someone getting their balls kicked. :P Mar 21 18:08:38 haha Mar 21 18:08:40 nice vid Mar 21 18:08:46 omg Mar 21 18:08:50 Cruelkix: this is what my tablet is doing right now. Mar 21 18:08:57 oh Mar 21 18:09:02 how you did that? Mar 21 18:09:05 i thought you wrote something to make that happen Mar 21 18:09:07 slonopotamus: no idea, but i'm not happy. Mar 21 18:09:16 that sucks Mar 21 18:09:21 Stskeeps, reboot didn't help? Mar 21 18:09:44 slonopotamus: nop. it even happens in mer splash. Mar 21 18:09:55 slonopotamus: i've discovered fb_update_mode auto fixes it for the while. Mar 21 18:10:09 Stskeeps, isn't it in auto by default? Mar 21 18:10:14 nop, manual Mar 21 18:10:19 which is a lot faster Mar 21 18:10:24 Stskeeps, hacked kernel? Mar 21 18:10:26 nop. Mar 21 18:10:29 straight flash. Mar 21 18:10:29 ah, right Mar 21 18:10:40 so yeah Mar 21 18:10:55 at least i can develop on mer with omapfb, but not with xserver-xomap, heh Mar 21 18:11:08 uh? Mar 21 18:11:34 xserver-xorg-video-omapfb uses automatic mode, it doesn't do manual updates Mar 21 18:11:40 and hence the picture is stable Mar 21 18:12:34 err. i didn't know that. so things will break if i enable manual mode with omapfb? Mar 21 18:13:09 yeah Mar 21 18:14:12 Stskeeps: http://www.internettablettalk.com/forums/showpost.php?p=273551&postcount=13 Mar 21 18:14:22 sad. we need someone to patch omapfb so it works in manual mode Mar 21 18:14:41 thats where i listed some of the error messages im getting Mar 21 18:14:53 Cruelkix: libGLES? O_o Mar 21 18:14:53 im assuming its because i am in armel Mar 21 18:16:17 Yes, it is. Mar 21 18:16:28 hi qwerty Mar 21 18:16:35 Hey Cruelkix Mar 21 18:16:38 slonopotamus: did i tell you our source xserver-xomap builds in normal environments now? Mar 21 18:16:39 i cant switch out of it though Mar 21 18:16:51 sb-conf select DIABLO_X86 Mar 21 18:16:53 scratchbox wont let me Mar 21 18:16:56 ah Mar 21 18:17:01 kill all processes in scratchbox Mar 21 18:17:03 did that Mar 21 18:17:07 there's a menu point for it Mar 21 18:17:09 reboot machine Mar 21 18:17:10 :P Mar 21 18:17:11 Stskeeps, no. it didn't? Mar 21 18:17:19 slonopotamus: nop, but it does now Mar 21 18:17:19 :) Mar 21 18:17:21 Cruelkix, Use sb-menu and choose signal 9 for killing Mar 21 18:17:40 And are you trying to use Fremantle SDK or Diablo's one? Mar 21 18:17:52 Stskeeps, does it have anything yseful but manual update mode support? Mar 21 18:18:02 slonopotamus: it's a hell lot faster. Mar 21 18:18:02 :P Mar 21 18:18:09 but yeah Mar 21 18:18:11 it's a tradeoff Mar 21 18:18:12 9 did it Mar 21 18:18:17 thanks qwerty Mar 21 18:18:17 how you measure speed? Mar 21 18:19:14 slonopotamus: it feels faster and i can actually see myself typing on HIM. Mar 21 18:19:21 with the feedback colors Mar 21 18:19:55 Stskeeps, huh. do you know what's the difference between auto/manual? Mar 21 18:20:00 slonopotamus: yeah Mar 21 18:20:42 Stskeeps, it isn't 'faster'. it just has smarter screen update logic Mar 21 18:21:00 right, but the image gets to me faster. Mar 21 18:21:46 Stskeeps, i think you can set auto refresh to 60gz and everything will feeled as fast Mar 21 18:21:54 hehe Mar 21 18:22:14 Stskeeps, of course it'll eat battery Mar 21 18:22:53 Stskeeps, the right solution is to teach omapfb driver to do manual refreshes Mar 21 18:22:58 yes, of course Mar 21 18:23:28 but i'm not the man for that :) Mar 21 18:24:01 Stskeeps, maybe someone should get in touch with omapfb devs Mar 21 18:24:13 slonopotamus: they're sitting in here.. Mar 21 18:24:21 o_O Mar 21 18:24:25 who? Mar 21 18:24:37 well, kulve and zuh (in another channel) Mar 21 18:25:33 how's gentoo going btw? Mar 21 18:25:58 we've been much been around nitdroid, ubuntu, mer, maemo the latest month in the online newscycle :P Mar 21 18:26:23 plop Mar 21 18:26:48 Stskeeps, good. tslib with debian patches was added to main tree. next candidate is omapfb driver Mar 21 18:27:46 kulve, hello, mister :) are you really developing xf86-video-omapfb? Mar 21 18:28:24 not very actively.. Mar 21 18:30:14 because it works enough currently Mar 21 18:30:15 kulve, first, gcc-4 compat fix: http://rafb.net/p/gmxUnx30.html Mar 21 18:31:38 that's no gcc-4 compat fix, that just a generic bug fix ;) Mar 21 18:31:43 kulve, second, could you estimate how hard it would be to implement manual update mode that is present in xomap? Mar 21 18:32:43 when to do the manual update? Mar 21 18:32:57 kulve, dunno, i wrote it to build omapfb and i used gcc-4 while others (mer/maemo) are on gcc-3. Mar 21 18:33:13 kulve, when image changes :) Mar 21 18:33:37 i think there's a hint of manual updates in xv already but not in general Mar 21 18:33:57 I guess nothing happens unless the image changes. I think the manual update is done to skip some updates and do them a bit later.. Mar 21 18:34:38 i.e. the updates are already done when the image changes. The manual update is there to override this behaviour Mar 21 18:34:45 but I'm not completely sure Mar 21 18:34:57 kulve, auto mode refreshes screen with N frequency (20hz) by default. it is too slow for intensive video but too fast to eat battery Mar 21 18:35:56 kulve, and in manual mode xomap tells screen to refresh Mar 21 18:38:49 kulve, sorry for not-very-technical terms, i didn't not develop such low-level things Mar 21 18:39:40 I don't see how the manual mode would improve the situation.. And actually I'm not sure what it does.. Instructs the LCD controller to update the screen from the framebuffer memory? Mar 21 18:39:50 basically, yeah Mar 21 18:40:23 you see, when we use xf86-video-omapfb, it doesn't update as frequently and hence feels sluggish Mar 21 18:40:44 and how often the LCD can update the screen? Mar 21 18:40:53 anytime you ask it to i guess Mar 21 18:41:08 so when you have changed something in framebuffer you can ask it to refresh Mar 21 18:41:10 kulve, lower battery usage when image is static and smoother image when it is actively changing (video playback, for example) Mar 21 18:41:21 I don't believe that would work. There's no bandwitdh to update it too fastly Mar 21 18:41:49 kulve, too - right. but 20hz isn't max limit i think Mar 21 18:41:56 well, xomap is actively asking for updates Mar 21 18:42:50 from whom..? Mar 21 18:42:57 sec Mar 21 18:43:00 the application draws when it has something to draw Mar 21 18:43:37 kulve, at least manual mode with omapfb/xomap is visually slower than auto mode with xomap Mar 21 18:43:59 manual mode is slower? Mar 21 18:44:04 err Mar 21 18:44:07 slonopotamus: other way around :) Mar 21 18:44:12 right Mar 21 18:44:37 kulve, the question is when image comes to screen. 20hz introduces some lag Mar 21 18:45:58 when e.g. a browser starts to draw something to the screen, it may do it in several operations Mar 21 18:46:24 instructing the LCD controller refresh the screen on every draw might make things even more wrong Mar 21 18:46:36 well, it looks like xomap does it in a bit saner way Mar 21 18:46:41 so I guess some sort of delay in certain cases might be neede Mar 21 18:46:58 but it is not waiting for the lcd to update at the "automatic" interval Mar 21 18:47:31 but I'm not sure where to implement this manual update as I'm not sure if the drawing commands go through the xf86-video-omapfb at all since it's not implementing EXA/etc.. Mar 21 18:47:54 I can try asking zuh, he's more expert on this Mar 21 18:48:58 kulve, okay. maybe someone should dig xomap source to see how they implement it Mar 21 18:49:22 slonopotamus: hw/kdrive/omap looks like a good place to start Mar 21 18:49:25 in it Mar 21 18:49:58 * slonopotamus should mention he never wrote a line of code in C :) Mar 21 18:50:02 hehe Mar 21 18:50:22 but the manual update issue is really the only showstopper, - for the 770/n8x0 Mar 21 18:50:39 as it makes any system using it feel sluggish :) Mar 21 18:51:00 showstopper for throwing out xomap, right? Mar 21 18:51:27 yeah Mar 21 18:51:37 well, that and rotation, but that's probably another issue Mar 21 18:51:39 I haven't noticed such "slugginess", at least not something I could identify being cause by this manual update Mar 21 18:51:51 but I haven't used n8x0 much with something else that maemo Mar 21 18:52:01 just some testing every now and then Mar 21 18:52:19 *nod* it's usable, but you can see there's some frames missing occasionally Mar 21 19:00:02 kulve, try enabling auto mode and press vvkb buttons. you can easily see that buttons are showed as pressed slower than in auto mode. Mar 21 19:01:17 and minimizing/maximising windows produces frames with parts of window Mar 21 19:03:36 the avarage delay because of the manual update is 10ms.. Mar 21 19:03:46 sorry, auto update Mar 21 19:04:28 even my LCD at home can't do anything in that time Mar 21 19:04:37 (a bit older lcd..) Mar 21 19:06:07 are there some facts about how the LCD works in manual/auto mode? Mar 21 19:07:01 theres problably some x11isms in there with the updating which slows it down further, ie x11 doing the normal transfer and wasting cpu writing to its offscreen buffer before its transfered Mar 21 19:08:01 Stskeeps, can you point at kernel place with 20hz info? Mar 21 19:08:10 kulve: apart from speed, it's also a matter of compat. In Maemo, mplayer won't work when in auto mode properly and games using XSP only render in a 1/4 sized area. Mar 21 19:08:11 i don't have sources here Mar 21 19:09:02 qwerty12_N800, cant you put mplayer into a different render mode (xv) and see Mar 21 19:09:17 -vo xv? Mar 21 19:09:27 kulve: some here , http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/maemo/developers/44808 , http://tinyurl.com/c3gx34 Mar 21 19:09:33 yeah i think so Mar 21 19:11:17 lcuk: in xv output, it does show the video properly (albeit slowly) in auto mode Mar 21 19:11:58 curious, liqbase should run then as well.. ;) Mar 21 19:12:55 woo! Stskeeps, cool link Mar 21 19:21:36 kulve, anyway. people are interested in using omapfb but this issue makes it problematic Mar 21 19:26:19 especially frustrating because the diablo one works Mar 21 19:26:46 *for most values of work Mar 21 19:27:35 yep Mar 21 19:27:48 * Stskeeps tries to get themes right. Mar 21 19:29:11 testing manual mode with XV would be trivial as there the frame is drawn through the x-v-o, but I don't know how hard it would be to do it with normal draws Mar 21 19:34:56 http://bsd.tspre.org/~stskeeps/mer-newui.png <- the 64x64 icons really help :P Mar 21 19:38:16 so, the manual updates tells when to feed the data to the LCD controller (and not the way I guessed earlier) Mar 21 19:39:21 afaik, the n8x0 memory bandwidth to the lcd controller is too slow for many things, so the manual update can't be done too often Mar 21 19:39:45 yeah, i think xomap tries to push as much through up to a certain limit Mar 21 19:40:15 kulve, the question here in not 'how often' but 'when'. Mar 21 19:41:15 slonopotamus: i think it's an optimization algorithm over damaged areas really Mar 21 19:41:20 kulve, X knows when pressed button was drawn. asynchronous update doesn't Mar 21 19:41:26 yeah, so there needs to be a timer and if enough time has passed since the last update, then a new update can be done immediately. Otherwise we need to wait until the minimum time has passed Mar 21 19:41:50 slonopotamus: X knows, xf86-video-omapfb might not.. Mar 21 19:42:23 kulve, you can even see half-pressed buttons in auto mde, btw. because asynchronous update happened in the middle of draw Mar 21 19:43:18 yea Mar 21 19:43:19 h Mar 21 19:44:31 hello all Mar 21 19:45:00 kulve, are there any docs on events that X video driver receives? Mar 21 19:45:34 slonopotamus: yup. But it depends what the driver does Mar 21 19:45:58 kulve, err... what omapfb does? :) Mar 21 19:45:59 e.g. the maemo 5 X does EXA, so every operation is passed through it. But the x-v-o doesn't Mar 21 19:46:23 * timeless sighs Mar 21 19:46:29 anyone here familiar w/ Gtk IM? Mar 21 19:46:30 evening timeless Mar 21 19:46:33 things like 'precomit' Mar 21 19:46:36 slonopotamus: I think x-v-o leaves all the operations to be handled generically by the X Mar 21 19:46:37 or commit Mar 21 19:46:39 whatever Mar 21 19:47:27 ok im bored, so im going to play lbp Mar 21 19:49:30 slonopotamus: there's empty EXA implementation, where the x-v-o just asks X to fallback to default (all operations are done by pixman), but that adds quite a overhead because of extra function calls. I guess only one operation would be needed though (something that actually pushes the data to the screen) but I'm don't know how to doit Mar 21 19:51:02 anyone here have firefox, thunderbird, or fennec available for their n8x0? Mar 21 19:59:32 * timeless grumbles Mar 21 19:59:34 so... Mar 21 20:00:00 timeless: last time i saw tb died on the spot, afaik Mar 21 20:00:29 kulve, i'll try to dig xomap source Mar 21 20:00:37 * Stskeeps continues burying himself in theme stuff. Mar 21 20:00:58 kulve, please don't forget about my patch with stdint.h :) Mar 21 20:01:25 kulve, btw. is that intentional that x-v-o doesn't have any releases? Mar 21 20:03:05 sts: can you try firefox? Mar 21 20:03:11 i'm perfectly fine w/ using ssh forwarding Mar 21 20:03:17 it doesn't need to be a local firefox/thunderbird Mar 21 20:03:22 timeless: did you see my brilliant video btw? i have a bit of trouble with my N800 atm :) Mar 21 20:03:39 slonopotamus: the developtment isn't active enough to have releases (imo) Mar 21 20:03:48 i just need you to be foolish enough to use the Maemo4 input methods w/ a Gecko Mar 21 20:03:51 sts: no, url? Mar 21 20:03:57 * timeless pokes kulve Mar 21 20:04:02 slonopotamus: and no, I or zuh will apply your patch "soonish".. Mar 21 20:04:10 timeless: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hcm5TYGwTwU Mar 21 20:05:33 kulve, 'releases' are good for adding to distros. Mar 21 20:05:59 slonopotamus: then again, so are revisions Mar 21 20:06:00 :P Mar 21 20:06:39 Stskeeps, well, tarballs are more simple to use :) Mar 21 20:07:39 sts: scrolling, awesome Mar 21 20:08:14 Stskeeps, of course they are not strictly required, but _usually_ if one opens project page, he sees 'download' area with source tarballs Mar 21 20:08:32 s/project/opensource project/ Mar 21 20:08:32 slonopotamus meant: Stskeeps, of course they are not strictly required, but _usually_ if one opens opensource project page, he sees 'download' area with source tarballs Mar 21 20:09:38 and developer list with their contacts :) Mar 21 20:09:42 slonopotamus: that's true Mar 21 20:10:04 What's /sys/class/graphics/fb0/pan ? Mar 21 20:11:31 hmm Mar 21 20:12:09 sTs: actually, i think i need an n810 for this test Mar 21 20:12:21 timeless: yeah, HW issue, not SW it seems like. Setting automatic update mode fixes it but slows down things obviously Mar 21 20:13:01 kulve, x-v-o will soon be added to Gentoo main tree :) Mar 21 20:14:06 timeless: it's excellent for finding apps which doesn't do many screen updates, as the image stabilizes then, heh Mar 21 20:14:20 er, reverse, that does many updates Mar 21 20:15:04 timeless, firefox2 ok? Mar 21 20:17:05 sUre Mar 21 20:17:16 Moz1.0 would be too Mar 21 20:17:53 Sts: heh Mar 21 20:19:30 firefox/iceweasel running on my debian machine, display over X on N810.. Mar 21 20:21:36 * Jaffa goes to watch BSG Mar 21 20:21:43 * ShadowJK googles maemo4 input methods in said firefox and notices Fn key isn't sticky Mar 21 20:23:02 wElcome to maemo Mar 21 20:23:11 Where everything is done wrong Mar 21 20:23:40 We endeavor to break as many x and gtk conentions as possible Mar 21 20:27:57 s/nen/nven/ Mar 21 20:27:57 timelE61i meant: We endeavor to break as many x and gtk conventions as possible Mar 21 20:28:00 Can somebody confirm that the last two edits are both valid and safe? http://wiki.maemo.org/index.php?title=Booting_from_a_flash_card&action=history Mar 21 20:28:31 * Stskeeps looks Mar 21 20:29:01 GeneralAntilles: i guess there's the possibily that the 'current' link gets broken Mar 21 20:30:05 Stskeeps, I'm somewhat inclined to switch back to a true manual method from that script. Mar 21 20:30:26 I wish penguinbait would document one of his automated methods already. . . . Mar 21 20:30:36 GeneralAntilles: i don't have the guts to even try out that script. Mar 21 20:30:53 It's the one I've used since way back when Mar 21 20:30:54 Works fine Mar 21 20:31:33 But I'm not sure how interested milhouse (prod) is in maintaining it Mar 21 20:31:48 and penguinbait's methods are slightly more automatic. Mar 21 20:31:56 yeah, but .. linus.wav Mar 21 20:32:10 The script does need to be changed to insert the modules properly Mar 21 20:32:25 i still go -wtf- each time canola picks it up Mar 21 20:32:39 qwerty12_N800 sounds like just the person to provide a patch, doesn't he, Stskeeps? :P Mar 21 20:33:06 Stskeeps: from /media/mmc2/myloves? :P Mar 21 20:33:33 GeneralAntilles: i'd put 10 quid on his paypal if he did a version with bootmenu items instead Mar 21 20:33:36 :P Mar 21 20:33:40 Not on a tablet I'm not :P Mar 21 20:34:18 USPS seems to be shipping my package in reverse. . . . Mar 21 20:34:53 reverse? Cool. Mar 21 20:35:52 * Stskeeps wonders if his scrolling lcd changes direction when rotated. Mar 21 20:36:05 (i doubt it, but hey..) Mar 21 20:36:30 does your scrolling lcd work properly - do mouse events occur in their "normal" place, or do they roll as well Mar 21 20:36:47 timelE61i, first it was moving about their facilities, now they're receiving shipping information. Mar 21 20:37:04 nah, they don't roll, but usability wise it sucks having to consider if you're going to chase the display or stay in place. Mar 21 20:37:19 Stskeeps: Next time you have iPod Touch vs. N800: Pretend the N800 has a accelerometer :P Mar 21 20:37:26 lol Mar 21 20:37:37 qwerty12_N800: i have asked lcuk if he can make some nice effects based on this :P Mar 21 20:38:01 "The dodgy Northerner" Mar 21 20:38:17 well, i COULD invert the effect and give you a nice tearfree unscrolling display :D Mar 21 20:38:39 hehe Mar 21 20:38:55 but everyone would think i was mad for even attempting such a thing. "the n8x0 cannot do tearfree static images" they will say Mar 21 20:39:37 qwerty12_N800, Stskeeps: what do you think of my new guide? :) Mar 21 20:39:55 b-man: looks good, but after trying it, my tablet is scrolling it's LCD. Mar 21 20:40:19 b-man: looks great :) Mar 21 20:40:19 scroling it's lcd? Mar 21 20:40:51 qwerty12_N800: thanks :) Mar 21 20:41:18 b-man: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hcm5TYGwTwU Mar 21 20:42:11 wtf!?!? 0.o Mar 21 20:42:34 yes, i'm sure it's your guide's fault. Mar 21 20:42:39 (i'm kidding. this happened last night.) Mar 21 20:43:00 oh :P Mar 21 20:43:37 that's still verry strange XD Mar 21 20:44:17 yes, and i don't have warranty. but it works when fb_update_mode auto, heh Mar 21 20:44:31 good thing i don't use my tablet for videos.. Mar 21 20:44:36 lol Mar 21 20:45:42 * b-man bookmarks the video XD Mar 21 20:46:04 now, imagine if that happened to your tablet. Mar 21 20:46:36 * Stskeeps gets back to working on the mer theme - http://bsd.tspre.org/~stskeeps/mer-newui2.png so far Mar 21 20:46:39 So what's the pan thing in omapfb/*/pan? Mar 21 20:46:47 not sure Mar 21 20:46:50 Hardware scrolling? that'd be neat for, uh, scrolling things fullscreen Mar 21 20:47:18 lol Mar 21 20:48:40 no seriously, that's how it was done in VGA days, the graphics card had register for a offset Mar 21 20:49:00 so the hw scrolled for you, and you filled in the new pixels, instead of moving bunch of data around Mar 21 20:49:07 i'll check, sec Mar 21 20:49:16 Stskeeps, it's too good to be hardware issue. tried reflashing kernel/initfs? Mar 21 20:49:33 slonopotamus: complete flash. it even does it in mer. Mar 21 20:49:44 Stskeeps, or pulling out battery Mar 21 20:49:54 tried different batteries Mar 21 20:50:11 slonopotamus: that's btw only one of the things it does Mar 21 20:50:16 sometimes it shakes instead Mar 21 20:50:40 uh. very strange behaviour. when hardware failt, it usually... err... fails. Mar 21 20:50:54 indeed Mar 21 20:51:22 Stskeeps: for a mer kernel; I'll disable OTG device whitelisting, add pH5's patch to change opmode on the fly, fanoush's patch to remove "menelaus: Setting voltage..." messages in dmesg, fanoush's patch which correctly gives device nodes for mmcs on N810, rndis patch, jott's rotation and a quickie patch of mine to remove "EAC mode..." messages from dmesg Mar 21 20:52:07 RNDIS, rotation? Mar 21 20:52:22 mer kernel? Mar 21 20:52:31 slonopotamus: we're basically establishing a good patchset Mar 21 20:52:32 Oh, and produce a separate image with it set to boot from mtdblock4 Mar 21 20:52:38 slonopotamus: 2.6.21 Mar 21 20:52:47 oh my Mar 21 20:53:15 Stskeeps: rndis windows fix and you know what rotation is Mar 21 20:53:23 k Mar 21 20:53:34 ah Mar 21 20:53:37 there it was, sorry Mar 21 20:53:40 i didn't read it through completely Mar 21 20:53:41 correct device nodes? Mar 21 20:53:48 i was temporarily seasick from the rotating display Mar 21 20:55:19 that should first n800 virus Mar 21 20:55:50 n8x0 Mar 21 20:56:36 Stskeeps, did you kick/drop it recently? Mar 21 20:57:13 Stskeeps, did it start scrolling after reboot? Mar 21 20:57:24 ShadowJK: not sure on the specifics but it fixes it when the (internal/external?) card is sometimes mmcblk0 and sometimes it's mmcblk1 Mar 21 20:57:39 what are the n8x0'S using? alsa or oss? Mar 21 20:57:54 magic fairies, i think Mar 21 20:57:54 oss is dead Mar 21 20:57:55 can you add the extras-devel repo to your scratchbox eviornment?

Is there anyway to open up the application menu on a N810 using only the keyboard? My touchscreen died. :( Mar 21 22:29:49 :( Mar 21 22:29:50 define died? Mar 21 22:30:37 ouch :( Mar 21 22:30:50 As in the touchscreen doesn't react at all to the stylus. Mar 21 22:31:37 I think I'm going to need to send the device in for repair or replacement. But I'd really like to get some of the data off it, before I do. Mar 21 22:32:07 and you're not just locked or something silly, right? :P Mar 21 22:33:37 Nope. I wish that was the case. Mar 21 22:33:37 Probably a loose cable. Mar 21 22:34:19 deepwave: and i don't presume you had bootmenu installed with telnetd on?
