**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri Nov 05 02:59:58 2010 Nov 05 03:11:32 good morning Nov 05 04:04:54 ugh Nov 05 04:05:06 this bt keyboard thing is becomming a pain in the ass Nov 05 04:05:14 it works but not perfect and it's driving me nuts :) Nov 05 04:05:37 like having to keep the phone open is a pain Nov 05 04:05:59 been reading this huge thread trying to figure out how i can fi x it Nov 05 04:06:13 according to the thread it should be working Nov 05 04:07:59 raise your hand if you want ettercap on the n900, along with the squid package i'll be submitting soon Nov 05 04:24:36 hm Nov 05 04:24:47 i'm about to go ghetto and use some sort of crond Nov 05 04:24:55 and just have it run the kbd script once every minute Nov 05 04:24:57 haha Nov 05 04:25:10 talk about murdering a battery Nov 05 04:26:08 i sure wish nokia included this bt hid support in m5 like it did in m4 Nov 05 04:26:21 m4 was great for using bt keyboards.. what happened? Nov 05 04:38:04 Macer: that is a vague question i think Nov 05 04:40:55 What's usually wrong when the N900 is connected OK to the access point, but hosts in the same subnet cannot ping it? Nov 05 04:48:50 ebzzry: can n900 resolve other hostnames and connect to them? Nov 05 04:59:10 pupnik_: heh Nov 05 04:59:18 just seems like a regression Nov 05 05:02:03 Gorroth: ettercap on the n900? Nov 05 05:02:06 Gorroth: huh Nov 05 05:02:19 ebzzry: Are you sure you're connected correctly? Nov 05 05:02:49 ebzzry: ifconfig to check. You might want to check your routing table and your resolv.conf too, for good measure. Nov 05 05:03:38 chx: yeah, if i can get it to build Nov 05 05:33:35 The "Robotron" hardware was a 1MHz 8-bit 6809 processor, with a custom image coprocessor also running at 1MHz. The amazing thing is this slow circuit had more image processing power than PCs until the early 90s. What made it so powerful was that the image coprocessor was one the first examples of what later became known as a bit blitter--popularized by the Amiga computer. In fact, several of the future designers of the Amiga, including RJ Mical, Nov 05 05:34:24 pupnik_: url? Nov 05 05:34:38 http://www.kvalda.com/bennington/public/Halcyon%20Days/BOOK/JARVIS.HTM Nov 05 05:43:38 ebzzry: oh, there's a few more boot vids btw, the .mp4 ones ;) Nov 05 05:59:36 building ettercap is a pita Nov 05 06:28:15 Moaning all :) Nov 05 06:28:43 Greetz Nov 05 06:28:46 hey wazd, a glorious day to be alive Nov 05 06:34:25 Pupnik_: well, my application for irish visa is not such a big ocasion :D Nov 05 06:34:47 Pupnik_: but definitely worth it :) Nov 05 06:36:06 Any maemo specific news ? Nov 05 06:38:25 Mozilla Launches Firefox 4 Beta 2 For Android, Maemo Nov 05 06:40:05 Oh, my roommate is freakin' oss lord :) Nov 05 06:41:26 Frank Karlischek Nov 05 06:43:46 wasnt that Frank Karlitschek? Nov 05 06:58:00 hello, i want to remove svn repo from the gmo project (using gitorious.org currently), anyone hear able to help me? Nov 05 07:04:47 Chx: maybe you're right :) Nov 05 08:02:28 Ok Nov 05 08:02:56 Irish embassy wants to see my work in printed form Nov 05 08:03:52 wazd, big old code printout? or print the graphics files as hex? Nov 05 08:04:29 I don't give a damn :) Nov 05 08:05:20 But I'm confused Nov 05 08:05:42 for the visa wazd? Nov 05 08:05:46 Yes Nov 05 08:05:52 jesus :/ Nov 05 08:06:17 My reaction was like O_o Nov 05 08:08:40 i wonder, if I was a freakin' string theory specialist, would they ask me bout my work Nov 05 08:10:14 they'd asked to see printed examples of string theory Nov 05 08:10:46 if you were a farmer, they'd ask for printed examples of your livestock Nov 05 08:10:46 Johnx: bingo Nov 05 08:10:57 :D Nov 05 08:11:01 if you were a porn star ... Nov 05 08:11:43 they have these nice big filing cabinets, so they need something to fill them with that makes them feel like 'due diligence' has been done Nov 05 08:12:00 Bloody irish... Nov 05 08:26:11 * crashanddie_ gives johnx a metopic slap. Nov 05 08:27:04 hwa? Nov 05 09:01:21 Is anyone alive on here? Nov 05 09:01:44 is that a trick question? Nov 05 09:10:23 i'm alive and even sober Nov 05 09:11:28 heya all. what is the 'osso-' I see in front of hundreds of packages in the n900? Nov 05 09:12:20 open source software ... ocelot Nov 05 09:13:08 open source software operations Nov 05 09:13:20 most osso- packages are closed Nov 05 09:14:57 lol Nov 05 09:15:20 mohammad: closed? like discontinued? Nov 05 09:15:33 no, like closed source Nov 05 09:16:02 i believe most of the osso stuff is parts of the hildon ui Nov 05 09:16:22 well, not most of them Nov 05 09:16:25 hildon is open Nov 05 09:16:45 well, i'm often wrong :P Nov 05 09:17:46 thanks both :) Nov 05 09:29:16 * wazd 's going slightly mad Nov 05 09:35:26 Anyone here have SSH and usb networking working? Nov 05 09:35:48 yeah Nov 05 09:36:13 Might you be willing to test something for me in a bit? Nov 05 09:37:03 i should be available to Nov 05 09:37:35 Great. But, not quite yet - I still have a couple bugs to be worked out. Nov 05 09:49:04 can anyone tell me if I can play movies on my N900 by not copying them into it.use ssh or something to get it from my PC using wifi? Nov 05 09:51:08 fish_sticks: yes, it's possible... although over ssh is not the best solution Nov 05 09:51:19 ieatlint: how can I do that then? Nov 05 09:51:45 simplest is using a dlna/upnp server/client ... as i recall, there's at least one client in the extras repos Nov 05 09:51:59 forget its name... and it won't be very reliable, or work with all kinds of video Nov 05 09:52:07 ieatlint: can you tell me a bit more? Nov 05 09:52:18 FireFly|n900: I usually just copy them over usb. Nov 05 09:52:33 FireFly|n900: put the n900 in mass storage mode and copy it from the pc Nov 05 09:53:35 uh, i'll take a quick look for the client i'm thinking off... it may have a getting started guide for you, but i'm afraid i can't walk you through it Nov 05 09:53:45 thats okay Nov 05 09:53:52 just give me a name.I'll figure it out myself Nov 05 09:54:33 actually, i'm suddenly remembering... isn't the built in media player on the n900 a dlna client? Nov 05 09:54:52 thats what a forum just said Nov 05 09:54:55 ieatlint: yes, it is. Nov 05 09:55:05 hah Nov 05 09:55:09 so how do I link my PC in that? Nov 05 09:55:14 fish_sticks: go look at mediatomb Nov 05 09:55:15 dlna servers show up on the main screen of mediaplayer. Nov 05 09:55:22 okay Nov 05 09:55:22 although there are several different dlna servers Nov 05 09:55:30 and mediatomb may not be best for you Nov 05 09:55:34 so I need to setup the server on my PC? Nov 05 09:55:49 windows mediaplayer works also as dlna server. Nov 05 09:55:54 on linux Nov 05 09:55:56 ubuntu actually Nov 05 09:56:31 mediatomb, rygel. Nov 05 09:57:07 these are the clients for linux? Nov 05 09:57:09 X-Fade: Nov 05 09:57:18 mediatomb is a server Nov 05 09:57:26 okay Nov 05 09:57:35 twonky is another one (although i think it's closed source/commercial) Nov 05 09:57:47 okay Nov 05 09:57:53 I'll try out mediatomb Nov 05 09:58:06 but you were telling me it doesnt support much? Nov 05 09:59:13 well, it's at the mercy of what codecs and videos the n900 can play, and at the mercy of any wifi hiccups or other issues... also, don't expect it to support tracking (fast forward, reverse, jumping to a new time index) much Nov 05 09:59:45 okay Nov 05 09:59:48 and of course, the video needs to have a small enough resolution/bitrate that the n900 can manage to play it smoothly Nov 05 09:59:59 got it Nov 05 10:00:07 other options include trying to do an nfs mount :P Nov 05 10:00:20 or potentially samba/sshfs Nov 05 10:01:21 nfs mount? ouch Nov 05 10:01:52 mediatomb gave me this ip for the ui Nov 05 10:02:02 for recoding stuff for n900 I've successfully used "tablet-encode" which does things with mencoder quite nicely. Nov 05 10:02:05 but didnt get anything when I ran that on the N900 Nov 05 10:02:24 fish_sticks, mediatomb's IP detection is fail Nov 05 10:02:38 meaning? Nov 05 10:02:40 fish_sticks, what IP did it give? Nov 05 10:02:55 is backup-menu dangerous? Nov 05 10:03:04 crashanddie_: local ip Nov 05 10:03:07 http://192.168.0.148:49153/ Nov 05 10:03:20 Current version? About as much as any other program that messes with system files Nov 05 10:03:20 its coming on the PC where I created it Nov 05 10:03:22 fish_sticks, can you ping that IP from the N900? Nov 05 10:03:27 trying Nov 05 10:03:40 ilius, it used to be, I wouldn't trust it. Nov 05 10:03:46 note that you don't enter the ip into the n900... the media player will just broadcast on your lan for any dlna servers automatically Nov 05 10:04:01 didnt get you Nov 05 10:04:16 To be fair though, I removed all the bits that certain people complained(for good reason) about Nov 05 10:04:35 RobbieThe1st, they weren't complaints Nov 05 10:04:40 it bricked devices. Nov 05 10:04:42 crashanddie_: is there a stable backup tool? Nov 05 10:04:56 ilius, for backing what up? Nov 05 10:05:23 osso-backup does not detect my card Nov 05 10:05:38 crashanddie_: rootfs Nov 05 10:06:03 crashanddie_: and opt Nov 05 10:06:28 Either way, the thing is, -now- it's fixed(hopefully to the satisfaction of everyone involved), and does it's job -properly-. Backups seem to work cross-n900 like they should, and everything's fine Nov 05 10:07:10 its** Nov 05 10:07:10 crashanddie_: i can ping into it Nov 05 10:07:29 fish_sticks, then just open media player, and ensure that MDTB is broadcasting Nov 05 10:07:38 checking Nov 05 10:07:59 Also, that's the thing - I invented backupmenu(the first version) because there was -nothing- else that'd do the same job. It's still the only thing that's out there, other than a couple of cludgy SSH backup scripts Nov 05 10:08:26 crashanddie_: MDTB broadcasting meaning? Nov 05 10:08:39 what do I do inside media player?videos? Nov 05 10:08:39 mediatomb Nov 05 10:09:02 how do I do that? Nov 05 10:10:21 Either way, to be -perfectly- safe, you can just backup with BackupMenu, then restore with whatever you want: the backups are straight tar files now. As nothing gets written, there should be no chance of breaking things Nov 05 10:11:18 crashanddie_: do I do that using the ui from that ip? Nov 05 10:11:57 what do you recommend for backing up rootfs and optfs? Nov 05 10:16:52 i am trying to create a symlink in the mydocs folder, but it doesnt work. is that because of the filesystem? Nov 05 10:17:11 Yea - fat32 doesn't support symlinks, IIRC Nov 05 10:17:59 is it possible to change the fs to something more unixy or would that fuck too much up? Nov 05 10:19:11 RobbieThe1st: what options is there for restoring that archives except using backup-menu? Nov 05 10:19:11 WakiMiko: You can, but then usb mass storage won't work as expected. Nov 05 10:19:14 WakiMiko: In theory, yes, but you'd probably have to edit a few scripts. Look around, I'm sure someone's done it Nov 05 10:20:10 thx i will look into it Nov 05 10:21:17 ilius1: http://wiki.maemo.org/Manual_backup_and_restore is probably your best bet, along with http://metalab.at/wiki/Hack-A-N900/Usb_Recovery_Mode#Boot_into_recovery_mode Nov 05 10:21:45 Though, I think you are going to have a tough time of it either way, -if- you can even figure out a way to restore your stuff. Nov 05 10:58:16 ~ping Nov 05 10:58:16 ~pong Nov 05 10:58:54 RobbieThe1st: is it possible to apply changes (from a backup archive) to flasher image (like RX... .bin) to restore with flasher? Nov 05 10:59:57 Yes and no. No, you can't edit the RX....bin, or at least not easily. However, you don't have to - You can use the -r option of flasher to specify a rootfs image directly Nov 05 11:00:43 If you have a tar file of your rootfs, you can make that into a flashable image by following the instructions here: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=63975 (halfway down the page) Nov 05 11:01:08 Note that it requires a Linux PC, or at least your N900 and mtd-utils from extras-devel/testing Nov 05 11:02:36 Morning, all Nov 05 11:02:44 MohammadAG51: Correct. My initials ;-) Nov 05 11:02:49 morning Jaffa Nov 05 11:02:50 Also, just incase you might be thinking about it, -don't- use DD to make an image of the rootfs. Yes, it will flash and (usually) boot, but it can also brick n900s. Nov 05 11:03:09 s/can/will/ Nov 05 11:05:18 Whatever - Mine isn't bricked(yet), and I know a number of people - against my wishes, mind you - who are still using that method and risking bricking. But what can I do? Nov 05 11:10:57 So, I build a system that works. I learn months later that it can/does cause problems. I work on, and finally come up with a solution, and I'm -still- getting flack over my previous system. Nov 05 11:15:10 RobbieThe1st: does the tar file contain opt directory? and does flasher copy it after mapping /opt? Nov 05 11:15:38 No, and that's your other problem Nov 05 11:15:57 Also, you can't boot the entire OS without some files in /opt Nov 05 11:16:22 :( Nov 05 11:16:23 yeah, RobbieThe1st, you bricked fucking devices Nov 05 11:16:29 that's device with a plural s Nov 05 11:16:30 The orig. rootfs seems to have a compressed version of all /opt files and a "first run" script which extracts, and then deletes them Nov 05 11:16:54 crashanddie_: And I still don't know who these supposed bricked people are! Nov 05 11:17:24 you are not entitled to rant, you are entitled to shut the fuck up, and not try to make things sound like they weren't bad. You uncovered a major issue, and made it clear as day: so thanks for that. Nov 05 11:17:56 you fixed your mistake, and trust me, we _are_ grateful for your reactivity in that matter Nov 05 11:18:42 But don't feel insulted when people don't trust your applications. Nov 05 11:20:51 The only thing I'm upset about is that you, personally, warned someone off, even -knowing- that the issue caused before was fixed. It's one thing to talk about bugs, or current problems... But basing an argument on something you know not to be true? Yea, it does upset me a little. Nov 05 11:21:39 Now, that may have come off a little harsh, and if so I apologize, but... Nov 05 11:23:06 RobbieThe1st, one of those people is me Nov 05 11:23:29 I thought you got it going again? Nov 05 11:23:48 i did, but it wasn't something the average noob can do Nov 05 11:23:52 * ilius confused Nov 05 11:24:20 a normal person isn't expected to have ubuntu and a custom kernel to ignore mtds at bootup Nov 05 11:24:37 (and mtd-utils to wipe his NAND) Nov 05 11:25:05 hmm Nov 05 11:25:08 now, I would test your app, but i have too many things to restore in case it doesn't work Nov 05 11:25:22 ilius: About 6 months ago, I released an application that used DD to backup and restore system images. The rootfs, I learned later, ends up backing up with bad blocks on it, and the restore screws things up due to that Nov 05 11:25:43 RobbieThe1st, you can keep dd for /opt Nov 05 11:25:47 well, /home Nov 05 11:26:26 Yea, I could - I ended up using tar for both though, and it seems to be a better solution anyway Nov 05 11:26:46 not sure if it's a 1.3 thing, but i just notice my n900 keyboard light is always on, even when it's closed, or the screen is locked. Nov 05 11:27:10 or at least, the left and right lights of the keyboard Nov 05 11:27:23 when i open the keyboard, those in the middles are on too. Nov 05 11:27:30 pigeon: erhm wtf? Nov 05 11:27:41 ilius: Three months ago, I get an email from Andrew on the council telling me that my app's bricking people's n900s. Up until that point, I had no clue that it did anything worse than not restore right for some people. I came in here, and learned how, why, and what not to do. Nov 05 11:27:57 oh wait, could it be because i have turned on some rd flags? Nov 05 11:28:11 yes Nov 05 11:28:23 pigeon: what I had last night was that the screen did not lock when I just opened and closed the slide from locked state Nov 05 11:28:33 pigeon: yes Nov 05 11:28:46 ilius: I then spent a month or so fixing things, and came out with a new version that was "safer", better, and -seems- to work for -all- n900s, no issues, and have spent the last couple months working on and improving that. So there's my story Nov 05 11:28:46 ah right, my fault then, i switched on some rd mode flags while trying to rescue my half pr1.3 upgrade. Nov 05 11:28:51 pigeon: thats an rd indicator now you mention it Nov 05 11:28:54 * pigeon kicks myself a bit. Nov 05 11:28:57 thanks. Nov 05 11:29:50 RobbieThe1st: hmmm Nov 05 11:29:53 I'd like to have a keyboard VUmeter... :( Nov 05 11:30:09 chem|st, speak to MohammadAG51 Nov 05 11:30:16 i couldn't free up enough disk space for ota upgrade, so i manually aptitude install (upgrade) some (big) packages, until it thinks it doesn't need as much. Nov 05 11:30:24 lcuk: thought it did not work that well... Nov 05 11:30:41 MohammadAG51: does your kbd-VUmeter finally work? Nov 05 11:30:44 MohammadAG51: Since you know such things, I've got a question for you - I've been rebooting my n900 from the terminal with 'reboot'. One day, out of the blue, it won't boot anymore - reboot loop. It turns out optfs got partially corrupted, and the files that got restored were tracker/thumbnailer files. Nov 05 11:30:54 RobbieThe1st: thank you :) Nov 05 11:31:00 MohammadAG51: Any idea -why- this might have happened? Nov 05 11:31:05 ilius: NP. Nov 05 11:31:16 Does reboot reboot immediately? Nov 05 11:31:45 RobbieThe1st: anything corrupting the files preventing tracker to start turns in to reboot Nov 05 11:32:06 Well, yea, I know - but what caused the corruption in the first place? Nov 05 11:32:35 RobbieThe1st: what did you do before that? Nov 05 11:32:38 Does reboot reboot immediateely? Nov 05 11:32:39 I -thought- reboot would reboot after making everything quit, do a sync, then close the FS properly. Nov 05 11:32:43 oh i used reboot many times!!! i will never use it then Nov 05 11:32:52 SpeedEvil: yes Nov 05 11:32:58 Or does it take a large fraction of a minute Nov 05 11:33:23 SpeedEvil: well, depends on tasks to stop as on any system Nov 05 11:33:28 The same thing I did on the last 10 reboots that day; connect to usb, copy a couple files over, disconnect, open the terminal, copy those files to rootfs, reboot Nov 05 11:33:40 SpeedEvil: it is not a reset button command Nov 05 11:33:51 I'd been doing that for a couple of months, literally, no issues. Nov 05 11:34:32 SpeedEvil: that makes me think of sending reset button events is not a system call it is direct hardware at desktops Nov 05 11:34:58 RobbieThe1st: windows? Nov 05 11:35:09 Yeah - if it's actually just immediately uncleanly rebooting the device, that can corrupt files. Nov 05 11:35:37 SpeedEvil: afaik there is nothing like a software reset button Nov 05 11:35:49 chem|st: ? Nov 05 11:36:37 RobbieThe1st: i killed several pendrives or the second and third not I killed but nvm, because of unplugging while in use Nov 05 11:37:12 RobbieThe1st: unsync device unplugged can cause trouble Nov 05 11:37:32 windows or linux does not matter Nov 05 11:37:48 even if you did not write to that file Nov 05 11:38:02 But wait... optfs isn't mountable Nov 05 11:38:26 myDocs was what I mounted via usb, and I unmounted it before unplugging the usb Nov 05 11:38:52 myDocs corruption... Yea, that'd be understandable. But OptFS corruption? Nov 05 11:39:08 where is optfs Nov 05 11:39:39 If you actually power off while the MMC is in the process of a write, unexpected things can happen. Nov 05 11:39:53 /home, /etc/mmcblk0p2 and it's ext2 Nov 05 11:39:54 RobbieThe1st: and it does not matter Nov 05 11:39:59 I would not expect cross-filesystem corruption usually Nov 05 11:40:26 RobbieThe1st: I have corrupted /rootfs on my desktop every now and then after booting into windows Nov 05 11:40:27 Just unplugging while writing to mydocs via USB should do nothing Nov 05 11:40:32 SpeedEvil: I do Nov 05 11:40:43 It may corrupt the mydocs FS - sure. Nov 05 11:40:52 But nothing else. Nov 05 11:41:07 I'm more wondering what (glitch) caused it? Is it some random glitch, or, like, reboot not unmounting disks before shutdown..? Nov 05 11:41:12 SpeedEvil: as I jsut said ^^ Nov 05 11:42:18 RobbieThe1st: oh that might be an issue, if the reboot does do something like locking partition table and you wrote it anyways Nov 05 11:42:19 chem|st: I don't see how. Nov 05 11:43:10 SpeedEvil: I do not either, it is windows I expect anything but not that it touches an off limits filesystem without any reason Nov 05 11:44:06 SpeedEvil: and you don't know what any random stupid-head thought while coding handler exceptions for usb devices Nov 05 11:45:25 Ok, so there's no real consensus on what caused it; I'll chalk it up to cosmic rays unless I see a repeat Nov 05 11:45:44 chem|st: If it can, it's clearly a bug. Nov 05 11:45:56 RobbieThe1st: why backup-menu is still in extras-devel and doed not go to extras-testing? Nov 05 11:46:00 chem|st: that is - any external device write outside the allocated FS Nov 05 11:46:20 SpeedEvil: MS Windows is a bug! Nov 05 11:46:31 ilius: If you check the topic, I've been adding extra features, improving the "surrounding" code and such every few days Nov 05 11:46:38 chem|st: that is quite irrelevant. Nov 05 11:46:40 I just uploaded a new version an hour ago Nov 05 11:46:55 chem|st: the issue is if windows can have any access to /home Nov 05 11:47:04 chem|st: absenting a bug on the n900 side, it can't. Nov 05 11:47:17 SpeedEvil: true Nov 05 11:47:24 Next question: I'm running from a ramdisk, the rootfs, optfs and all other FS's are unmounted. I can use the g_file_storage module to provide USB access to the Optfs, MyDocs and SD card. Any way to use it to give access to the Rootfs? Nov 05 11:47:33 RobbieThe1st: at least one stable version should be exist in extra-testing Nov 05 11:47:35 RobbieThe1st: Another issue might be if tracker will ever not shutdown cleanly if it happens to write from files. Nov 05 11:47:48 RobbieThe1st: if it happens to be writing files. Nov 05 11:48:08 RobbieThe1st: does it ever shutdown in an inconsistent state, leading to not being recoverable. Nov 05 11:48:52 ilius: Yes, it should, but I haven't been happy with it until about now. Things didn't -quite- work(non backup stuff almost always). If this version works out, it may very well go into extras-testing Nov 05 11:49:11 SpeedEvil: Damn that stupid tracker! Nov 05 11:49:13 SpeedEvil: I have no idea what could cause that but I know that windows does evil things to my ext partitions when I am not looking! funny is that I was not able to reboot from linux to windows or the way back for a long time, system crashed in both ways... windows bluescreened and linux panic'ed Nov 05 11:50:08 chem|st: That actually happened to me once - I had a linux install, a windows install... I used my windows install constantly, tried to boot up my linux install a month or two later and got kernel panic. Nov 05 11:50:51 thanks guys.Mediatomb worked.streaming issues though. Nov 05 11:52:18 RobbieThe1st: I learned that both systems used to leave stuff in ram and that my motherboard does not flash it on reboot (feature!!!!) Nov 05 11:52:47 chem|st: this is irrelevant - windows does not have access to the /home/ block device. It is not able to access it at all when plugged in via USB unless you do something strange. Nov 05 11:52:52 Huh; so doing a cold-boot would fix the problem? Nov 05 11:53:04 hibernate is another evil thing Nov 05 11:53:25 SpeedEvil: More than that, I'm using Linux on my desktop, -and- it's not even accessible there Nov 05 11:53:49 Because it's mounted by maemo, for one Nov 05 11:53:54 RobbieThe1st: cold boot did fix it for my desktop Nov 05 11:54:29 SpeedEvil: I know but it is the same hardware device Nov 05 11:54:34 chem|st: no, it's not. Nov 05 11:54:46 chem|st: Windows is not exposed to the hardware. Nov 05 11:55:06 chem|st: Windows is exposed to a fake block device that the linux kernel maps onto the real block device. Nov 05 11:55:08 chem|st: never mount linux important partitions in windows as rw Nov 05 11:55:09 chem|st: use ext2fsd in read-only Nov 05 11:55:19 ok so where does windows get the partition table from? Nov 05 11:55:25 chem|st: it's fake Nov 05 11:55:52 ilius: never mounted my / to windows Nov 05 11:56:11 ilius: I'd say the same thing vice-versa; even though there -is- good write-support on Linux for NTFS, after a few months you will end up with a fragmented, un-defragmentable NTFS volume. Nov 05 11:56:17 SpeedEvil: it is so fake that windows cannot write it? Nov 05 11:56:29 (Security descriptors get shoved after every file, and defrag won't move em) Nov 05 11:56:55 Actually - no. Nov 05 11:57:01 there is no filesystem Nov 05 11:57:03 err Nov 05 11:57:06 ilius: I mount a single patition with ext3 on both sides and thats it Nov 05 11:57:07 there is no partition table Nov 05 11:57:21 /dev/sdc is just a big floppy Nov 05 11:57:50 err Nov 05 11:58:15 ok - nvm - I got a error Nov 05 11:58:19 So I can't check Nov 05 11:58:37 but fdisk -l /dev/whatever on the desktop when in mass storage mode. Nov 05 11:58:48 It's not the real partition table Nov 05 11:59:06 * ilius reboot for testing backup-menu Nov 05 11:59:15 Keyboard open, mind Nov 05 11:59:18 SpeedEvil: I know that it is an looped/extraced whatever Nov 05 11:59:56 Well, I've got to go. I'll talk to you guys tomorrow. Nov 05 12:00:17 Gees, I've been up for an hour more than I should. Talking to you guys is interesting, to say the least. Nov 05 12:01:22 :wave Nov 05 12:23:58 how ro run backup-manu (instead of booting) without connecting to PC? Nov 05 12:27:55 RobbieThe1st: how ro run backup-manu (instead of booting) without connecting to PC? Nov 05 13:18:29 # mount /dev/mmcblk1p1 /card Nov 05 13:18:30 mount: mounting /dev/mmcblk1p1 on /card failed: Invalid argument Nov 05 13:18:46 what is this damn error? Nov 05 13:18:57 does /card exist Nov 05 13:19:09 yes Nov 05 13:19:46 Is mmcblk1p1 listed in /proc/partitions? Nov 05 13:19:59 yes Nov 05 13:20:01 SpeedEvil: yes Nov 05 13:20:14 oh wait, you're troubleshooting ;) Nov 05 13:22:45 ~ping Nov 05 13:22:45 ~pong Nov 05 13:23:15 ilius: You're sure it's a valid filesystem? Nov 05 13:24:23 SpeedEvil: backup-menu did mount it Nov 05 13:24:41 SpeedEvil: and myself in linux pc Nov 05 13:25:40 Odd. Nov 05 13:25:49 I see the same result, and am unsure why Nov 05 13:26:31 SpeedEvil: and the error is silly Nov 05 13:27:07 oh Nov 05 13:27:21 I had to explicitly specify FS type Nov 05 13:28:07 mount /dev/... /card -t ext2 works fin Nov 05 13:28:09 oh yes Nov 05 13:28:30 mount /dev/mmcblk1p1 /card -t vfat Nov 05 13:28:38 works Nov 05 13:31:06 btw, this is probably the best command for normalized mount points: cat /proc/mounts | awk '{print $1 " " $2}' Nov 05 13:31:47 Though, you could replace cat /proc/mounts with just mount Nov 05 13:32:21 but then you'd need $3 instead of $2 Nov 05 13:36:07 alterego: thanks Nov 05 13:39:14 SpeedEvil: how you was using sd card? Nov 05 13:40:04 SpeedEvil: it says to me: memory card format unsupported Nov 05 13:41:07 I wasn't really - it's only a gig - I had it setup as swap Nov 05 13:41:59 SpeedEvil: hmmm Nov 05 13:46:10 Lol, listening to an mp3 stream over wifi with nokia charger attached uses more power than it charges. Nov 05 13:47:15 With the screen on? Nov 05 13:47:16 X-Fade: you probably have something installed that's eating CPU Nov 05 13:47:21 I can believe that. Nov 05 13:47:22 oh Nov 05 13:47:24 wall charger Nov 05 13:47:26 shouldn't Nov 05 13:47:35 USB - yes - with screen at brightest Nov 05 13:47:39 it's definitely possible to use more power than the wall charger supplies Nov 05 13:47:41 sure you're on wifi not 3g? Nov 05 13:48:30 Yeah, weird. I listened to stream for a while the battery went down to 30%, connected charger and after an hour orso it is at 19%. Nov 05 13:48:44 (3.5G internet, providing access to the net for four laptops via wifi, while taking a picture every 15 seconds *with the screen on*, for instance. Nov 05 13:48:49 X-Fade, screen lit up like a christmas tree? Nov 05 13:49:02 lcuk: Of course. I need to see the song titles :) Nov 05 13:49:05 ie: turn brightness down or off if you arent using it :P Nov 05 13:49:26 X-Fade, of course you might have other things happening Nov 05 13:49:31 Well it is nice and hot. Nov 05 13:49:35 cos i run lots whilst in from usb only Nov 05 13:49:40 huh Nov 05 13:49:52 i had my phone plugged in overnight to charge Nov 05 13:50:05 and i wondered why it was dead and empty in the morning Nov 05 13:50:27 turns out that damn thumbnailer had pegged io and cpu at 100 again Nov 05 13:52:51 hmm, is the N900 aimed for 2010 or 2011? Nov 05 13:53:00 ? Nov 05 13:53:24 MohammadAG51: depends on how fast you throw it Nov 05 13:53:54 err, N9 Nov 05 13:53:56 what is the point in having a flux capacitor in hardware if theres no damned linux driver to use it \@/ Nov 05 13:54:23 MohammadAG, 2011, now, apparently. Nov 05 13:54:49 Nokia's continued competence with release targets continues to amaze. Nov 05 13:55:00 2010 is not over yet! Nov 05 13:55:02 I'm looking on http://tablets-dev.nokia.com/nokia_N900.php, but I can't see a UK version of PR 1.3.. has one been released yet? Nov 05 13:55:03 GAN900, which quarter? Nov 05 13:55:13 ajf_, no, flash global Nov 05 13:55:21 MohammadAG, who knows. Nov 05 13:55:34 kerio, new CEO says it's a 2011 product. Nov 05 13:55:46 So, probably Q4 Nov 05 13:55:46 what the hell does the CEO know about Nov 05 13:56:05 money? Nov 05 13:56:11 N9 != money Nov 05 13:56:16 Since we want to make sure all of the existing contributors are burnt out by the time we release. Nov 05 13:56:22 N9 wont make any money for Nokia? oh my Nov 05 13:56:31 the N9 *isn't* money Nov 05 13:56:33 thanks MohammadAG51, is there any important difference in the UK release Nov 05 13:56:38 because it's a phone Nov 05 13:56:39 No dirty Maemo shit on our MeeGo. Nov 05 13:56:50 ajf_, nope, other than being a UK release Nov 05 13:57:32 GAN900, ha Nov 05 13:58:53 GAN900: so meego is not going to use busybox? :DDDDDDDDDD Nov 05 13:58:57 someone (or two) are thinking of getting an N900 Nov 05 13:59:36 kerio, busybox has nothing to do with Maemo. Nov 05 13:59:51 busybox is part of maemo *and* shit Nov 05 13:59:54 it qualifies Nov 05 14:00:14 I wonder if he really means that or thinks Harmatten is different Nov 05 14:00:56 Harmattan even .. Nov 05 14:01:22 i really mean that? Nov 05 14:01:27 of course i do Nov 05 14:01:36 busybox is shit Nov 05 14:02:21 <_chun> Hi there; trying to get wireshark working on my n900. I've set wlan0 to monitor mode with iwconfig, but it doesn't seem to be picking up a lot of traffic ... any tips?# Nov 05 14:02:48 Harmattan has nothing to do with MeeGo! Nov 05 14:03:02 GAN900: exactly, and isn't that the N9? Nov 05 14:03:14 N910 then? :D Nov 05 14:03:26 Harmattan is completely new and unrelated to any previous efforts by Nokia or any other company. Nov 05 14:03:46 It's built on maemo Nov 05 14:03:51 It's also a revolution Nov 05 14:03:54 Lies. Nov 05 14:04:00 Nokia is so suing you Nov 05 14:04:06 Completely new ux based on Qt and MTF :P Nov 05 14:04:18 Also: Qt kernel. Nov 05 14:05:06 It's the OS Chuck Norris uses in his anal dildo range Nov 05 14:05:09 Qt - reimplementing the implemented! Nov 05 14:05:42 I tested my FFT implementation today using audacity to test frequency accuracy Nov 05 14:06:06 deafened my self in my left ear because my volume was on full and I had that head phone in. Nov 05 14:06:23 On the plus side, I'm about 1hz out Nov 05 14:06:25 Ouch Nov 05 14:06:37 hmmh Nov 05 14:06:44 another strange thing Nov 05 14:06:58 So I should be able to use that code to tune my guitar now ^.^ Nov 05 14:07:11 my wifi-indicator keeps on "blinking" although wifi is connected and working fine Nov 05 14:07:21 And I'll then use it to write my guitar tuner app :D Nov 05 14:07:38 only the indicator indicates that it's still "connecting" Nov 05 14:08:55 bbl Nov 05 14:20:31 <[PG]Aex> Elo, anyone here?

Check your Application Manager for "icedTea6" to install." but can't find it in the app manager, got any clue why? Nov 05 14:24:28 kerio: if there is a N9 this year it wont get meego! so if n8 is the last nseries dev with symbian I am wondering what n9 would get if prepped for this year Nov 05 14:24:57 android :P Nov 05 14:25:11 windows 7 mobile! Nov 05 14:25:25 yeah! Nov 05 14:27:11 They're probably delaying so they can port Android. Nov 05 14:28:11 i see you are in a wonderfully happy mood today GAN900. did local mcdonalds run out of happy meals? Nov 05 14:28:33 MeeGo conference is just an excuse to round us all up. :P Nov 05 14:28:59 afternoon all Nov 05 14:29:07 not all of us, just the ones interested in meego development Nov 05 14:29:10 GAN900: there will be bulk execution near the fence in dub...

Nov 05 14:39:24 MohammadAG: there is recorder and speech recorder Nov 05 14:39:37 what's the difference chem|st ? Nov 05 14:39:45 lardman|home, python-numpy?

Nov 05 14:42:15 so my meeting is cancelled, but I don't think I'll be able to make it anyway Nov 05 14:43:03 Conference quality seems to be declining by the minute here. ;) Nov 05 14:44:07 MohammadAG: 22kHz at 16bit mono and quality is good for speech recording Nov 05 14:44:33 MohammadAG: output is wav, Nov 05 14:45:25 weird, N900 stuck in flashing mode Nov 05 14:46:06 MohammadAG: but I tried to record a song snippet and that did not go well Nov 05 14:46:19 hmm Nov 05 14:46:37 I wonder if a USB mic works with the stock kernel drivers Nov 05 14:46:42 was to loud Nov 05 14:47:02 oh Nov 05 14:47:11 it's just speech, an interview Nov 05 14:47:24 for that it is very good, Nov 05 14:47:47 I think pointing the mic hole to something is not a good idea Nov 05 14:47:59 but have it sitting on a table should be ok Nov 05 14:48:18 * lardman|home starts building matplotlib Nov 05 14:48:19 excellent, just what I need Nov 05 14:48:54 lardman|home, \o oh hai Nov 05 14:49:01 how long are you in india for? Nov 05 14:49:09 MohammadAG: did your kbdVUmeter work? Nov 05 14:49:18 hi lcuk, only a week Nov 05 14:49:27 chem|st, still haven't reached that level of programming :P Nov 05 14:49:47 lcuk: assuming I can get the correct letters, etc., together for the business visa Nov 05 14:49:48 MohammadAG, theres a few different people looking at audio processing Nov 05 14:50:04 lcuk, KotC and pupnik_ ? Nov 05 14:50:09 tie in what you know with keylights with one of the frequencies from alterego's fft or something :P Nov 05 14:50:20 fft? Nov 05 14:50:21 MohammadAG, i was thinking alterego since he has used qt which you are comfortable with Nov 05 14:50:36 lcuk: who as I want to get PA controls and am close to port the gtk tools from debian if no lightning hits in Nov 05 14:50:51 I'm open to other languages really, C/C++'s syntax is easy Nov 05 14:51:10 I thought it was a bit harder back in July Nov 05 14:51:13 MohammadAG, then talk with kot Nov 05 14:51:20 should be simples Nov 05 14:51:55 * MohammadAG needs gsleep in a separate package Nov 05 14:52:09 depending on coreutils-gnu is an overkill for one binary Nov 05 14:54:58 are there any docs about specifically for debianising a python setup.py build/install type package? Nov 05 14:55:27 python setup.py bdist_dumb? Nov 05 14:55:31 or whatever it's called Nov 05 14:55:34 then use pypackager Nov 05 14:55:41 hmm Nov 05 14:55:44 chem|st, the problem isn't recorder but the python hildon destop launcher not well writted Nov 05 14:55:53 I'll do some looking, thanks MohammadAG Nov 05 14:56:00 written * Nov 05 14:56:05 http://wiki.maemo.org/PyPackager Nov 05 14:56:08 or python setup.py bdist_maemo Nov 05 14:56:19 ^ but it s an unfinished tool Nov 05 14:56:30 thanks for correction lcuk Nov 05 14:57:07 lardman|home, http://khertan.net/articles/maemo/pypackager_howto Nov 05 14:57:26 I need to distribute the source too Nov 05 14:57:37 and it's not just a python package, it's also C++ Nov 05 14:58:04 arg Nov 05 14:58:17 so i ll not suggest any of my tools :) Nov 05 14:58:20 lardman|home, you could use a simple debian/ folder template and run the python bits you need from inside it Nov 05 14:58:32 just as simple script format Nov 05 14:58:35 lcuk: yeah, I was just wondering if that stuff was documented somewhere? Nov 05 14:58:54 I suppose I could do that dh_make business to generate empty files Nov 05 14:58:55 lardman|home, normal debian packaging Nov 05 14:59:04 MohammadAG: yeah, nasty stuff ;) Nov 05 14:59:36 it's easier than python :P Nov 05 14:59:37 lardman, there is also : http://pypi.python.org/pypi/stdeb Nov 05 14:59:39 lardman|home, yeah - i just used a minimal subset with the optify boottime stuff and tried to keep it as simple as possible Nov 05 14:59:41 http://maemo.gitorious.org/maemo-af/maemo-optify-boottime/trees/master/debian Nov 05 14:59:44 MohammadAG, lol Nov 05 15:00:56 khertan: yes and no python does not properly free ram even if you tell to Nov 05 15:00:57 khertan, btw, instead of using cp in debian rules, why not switch to a debian/install file and use dh_install Nov 05 15:01:03 suggestion for PyPackager ^ Nov 05 15:01:28 chem|st, it does if you know how to use python properly Nov 05 15:01:39 MohammadAG, dh_install cannot be test on device :) Nov 05 15:02:09 khertan: then most ppl dont know how ;) Nov 05 15:02:09 ah, makes sense Nov 05 15:02:21 chem|st, exactly :) Nov 05 15:02:29 khertan: freakshow! Nov 05 15:03:16 chem|st, what does it means ? Nov 05 15:03:37 khertan: not only the desktop widgets eat ram, also all python programs left in background Nov 05 15:04:13 hmm, looking at how python-numpy is built was a mistake Nov 05 15:04:15 khertan: all I tried, I make a large curve around python Nov 05 15:04:40 python <3 Nov 05 15:04:44 heh chem|st - that's a german expression Nov 05 15:04:44 chem|st, every program let in background eat ram ... but when i see khteditor, with about 20 windows containing source code use less than 7% of ram on my n900 Nov 05 15:04:57 pupnik_: I know I dont know the english equi to it Nov 05 15:05:06 'I avoid python' :) Nov 05 15:05:08 chem|st, i didn't notice difference with other program made with c++ Nov 05 15:05:21 pupnik_: ty Nov 05 15:05:24 anyone have any idea why the icon associated with .desktop file (as packaged/deployed by a .deb) would display in scratchbox but not on the phone itself? Nov 05 15:05:32 and when i see khweeteur running on windows also it s funny :) Nov 05 15:05:41 pupnik_: then I know the expression but did not come to mind Nov 05 15:06:10 chem|st: np! it's just fun when you can figure out someone's native language from such things! :) Nov 05 15:06:19 khertan: eat in terms of leak Nov 05 15:06:28 i didn't notice any Nov 05 15:06:58 you know ... most of the program leaking memory aren't python on n900 Nov 05 15:06:59 pupnik_: german is not my native language but I live in germany Nov 05 15:07:41 ah setup.py install can take a --root parameters, that's nice Nov 05 15:09:11 khertan: nvm I am not that into it but experienced some issues with "one" widget and some programs Nov 05 15:11:27 chem|st, every python widget will leak memory due to the hildon python launcher so avoid them on n900 :) Nov 05 15:11:48 and if a python program leak memory warn his author it should not happen Nov 05 15:11:58 hmm Nov 05 15:12:04 conversations app no longer saving logs Nov 05 15:12:04 the author probably badly write some things Nov 05 15:12:10 khertan: someone else did that already ;) Nov 05 15:12:17 khertan, bug number? Nov 05 15:12:27 for the always leaking statement, thats pretty wild Nov 05 15:12:36 lcuk, lol Nov 05 15:13:10 i am serious. making such a wide reaching statement without some kind of backup is poor form Nov 05 15:13:47 lcuk, ask to every python developper which try to made a python widget Nov 05 15:13:49 khertan: lcuk is right the only app I recognized doing that was recaller and that was noticable within hours Nov 05 15:14:17 chem|st, i got same problem with homeip, homefreemem Nov 05 15:14:18 khertan, i am asking you specifically since you made the claim. wheres the bug report after you noticed it and discussed with others Nov 05 15:14:21 which i never release Nov 05 15:14:42 lcuk, yep i looking for it ... i submit it a years ago :) Nov 05 15:14:46 ta Nov 05 15:14:50 BUT lcuk a nokian guy told me about it as known issue with python-loader Nov 05 15:15:21 that was in the hildon-home bug comments somewhere Nov 05 15:15:59 with stating that this is no hildon-home bug but third party Nov 05 15:16:44 chem|st, sure, and having something documented to point python devs towards to make sure they do not also fall into the trap is good Nov 05 15:16:45 lcuk : https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8586 Nov 05 15:16:47 Bug 8586: hildon-desktop-python-loader does not work after installation, until device is rebooted Nov 05 15:16:51 ahh, this really is one of the things I hate about coding for the N900 - the sheer amount of effort one has to go to creating deps before you can actually get on with the main application Nov 05 15:17:01 but c'est la vie Nov 05 15:17:05 the wrong one Nov 05 15:17:31 hola Nov 05 15:17:41 lcuk: they told as known Nov 05 15:17:51 lcuk: I did not bother Nov 05 15:18:07 is there a solution to the system becoming quite unresponsive when connecting to the internet? Nov 05 15:18:15 somehow apt sometimes starts running Nov 05 15:18:42 and eats all my responsiveness Nov 05 15:18:51 lcuk: and people writing scripts to "optimize" where they use "killall" on hildon-* stuff will lose my attention quiet fast! Nov 05 15:18:57 lcuk, anyway last time i submit something about python loader I was told to fuck off Nov 05 15:19:24 corecode, or maybe an app that connect and retrieve data Nov 05 15:19:30 corecode: its not apt.. its apt-worker?! and that is updating your sources cache Nov 05 15:19:35 yea Nov 05 15:19:37 right Nov 05 15:19:47 corecode: answer enough? Nov 05 15:19:52 but still makes my system unresponsive for some mintues Nov 05 15:19:53 no Nov 05 15:20:00 the question was: is there a solution to that Nov 05 15:20:01 khertan, bugs.maemo.org only has 4 bugs with the phrase fuck off in them. Nov 05 15:20:03 corecode: you want a solution?! Nov 05 15:20:08 none of htem are related to python Nov 05 15:20:49 set the update interval to something within years instead (value is minutes not seconds btw)... gconf Nov 05 15:20:55 hmm, interesting language for a bug report, /me goes to search bugs.maemo.org Nov 05 15:20:56 chem|st: yes, i don't want my phone to be unresponsive so that i can't even tak a call Nov 05 15:21:15 i wonder why it doesn't nice itself Nov 05 15:21:30 lcuk, hey english isn't my native language the term wasn't exactly fuck off, it was an year ago and i didn't remember it well Nov 05 15:21:49 this is like the diablo loader Nov 05 15:21:57 corecode: I don't know about nicing apt-worker but if you find out tell me ;) Nov 05 15:21:58 * lardman|home considers beer Nov 05 15:21:59 it was leaking memory on diablo Nov 05 15:22:30 lardman|home: good idea... putting it on my shopping list Nov 05 15:22:31 and this is why i ve made my own patch and distribute it before the pymaemo team take the project and fixes memory leaks Nov 05 15:22:46 (and their patch was better than mine) Nov 05 15:23:31 lcuk, if you look you ll not see any bug report on bugzilla from me since a long time Nov 05 15:25:00 there seem to be two versions of freeciv for maemo; one being an unmodified package of the SDL client, the other being a hildonied version of the gtk client Nov 05 15:25:17 i can't see how to use the latter, though Nov 05 15:26:21 anyone had any success? for me, it just shows the UI for starting a new game for a moment, then shows the freeciv logo Nov 05 15:27:36 bbl Nov 05 15:29:54 alterego: are you capable of getting pulse to act as rtp/multicast receiver and/or sender and have interest? Nov 05 15:49:42 C Programming: Large Arrays - Malloc or Declare? http://www.velocityreviews.com/forums/t317924-large-arrays-malloc-or-just-declare.html Nov 05 16:04:15 hmm, url's from the terminal don't open in the default browser anymore Nov 05 16:04:48 iirc I switched to a diff default browser once and now they don't open Nov 05 16:07:02 pupnik_: dumb question? Nov 05 16:09:19 luke-jr_: if the answer is apparent then don't bother clicking Nov 05 16:09:30 if the answer isn't apparent, then a person might benefit from clicking Nov 05 16:09:41 agree? Nov 05 16:10:52 X-Fade, can i disturb you and ask you to look at khweeteur-experimental package, it seems to be blocked in the auto builder queue. Thx Nov 05 16:10:53 :) Nov 05 16:12:03 someone have try ff 4.0b2 on maemo ?

Note the dual d-pad styling of the arrows and awsdz keys. Nov 05 16:12:53 khertan: yup, just got an update yesterday actuallt and was just abot tot try iy :D Nov 05 16:13:09 khertan: but it's def still beta ;) Nov 05 16:13:27 pupnik_, the look is pretty good, but i still miss a grosser display Nov 05 16:13:56 hmm, I wonder why packages get locked in the queue Nov 05 16:13:56 * khertan like the n810 form factor Nov 05 16:14:12 MohammadAG, probably because they are corrupted Nov 05 16:14:18 me too khertan - very nice 4 row keyboard, boring korean styling Nov 05 16:15:25 pupnik_, most of the for programming symbol use in python have an easy access Nov 05 16:15:32 []{} like the keyboard Nov 05 16:16:11 but the key seems to be a bit small Nov 05 16:16:20 the menu icon is funny Nov 05 16:16:30 it s look like the maemo4 applications icons Nov 05 16:16:36 s/s/ Nov 05 16:16:52 well does samsung release kernel drivers for that stuff? Nov 05 16:16:57 can we boot maemo on it? Nov 05 16:17:33 linux still doesn't enjoy the situation it has on PCs - meaning you can install it on a variety of hardware Nov 05 16:17:42 we're still chained to things like meego, bada Nov 05 16:17:46 android (spit) Nov 05 16:19:48 pupnik_, hum ... it s not the care bear world ! Nov 05 16:20:03 even on desktop we still have many closed drivers Nov 05 16:20:34 and you must choose your hardware depending on which os you want to run Nov 05 16:21:32 khertan: true. but this is in my opinion a failure of maemo Nov 05 16:21:37 nobody else ever picked it up Nov 05 16:21:59 MeeGo wins here Nov 05 16:22:05 MohammadAG, or not Nov 05 16:22:08 two HTC devices already booted it up Nov 05 16:22:29 a nexus and a desire Nov 05 16:22:35 excellent Nov 05 16:24:28 what's a failure of meego? Nov 05 16:25:50 ahem Nov 05 16:25:55 * MohammadAG goes into troll mode Nov 05 16:25:58 RPM!!1!!!1! Nov 05 16:26:18 tripzero, none for the moment as there isn't any end user release Nov 05 16:26:35 only time will say if it s a failure or not :) Nov 05 16:26:42 lol Nov 05 16:26:50 isn't debian packaging the meego stuff? Nov 05 16:27:00 but ... one failure for Meego Netbook UX is that you can't upgrade from 1.0 to 1.1 Nov 05 16:27:04 so one could in theory make the distro deb package based? Nov 05 16:27:07 without reinstalling Nov 05 16:27:12 heh Nov 05 16:27:22 does it break if you add the 1.1 repos? Nov 05 16:27:26 i think we feel the power of rpm here Nov 05 16:27:26 :) Nov 05 16:27:30 * tripzero needs to update his wife's netbook? Nov 05 16:27:32 does it break if you add the 1.1 repos? << yep :) Nov 05 16:27:40 ew Nov 05 16:27:43 hrm Nov 05 16:28:00 * khertan will install a debian instead of updating meego Nov 05 16:28:05 if only ubuntu hadn't stopped making a meego respin Nov 05 16:28:06 :( Nov 05 16:28:17 khertan, prototype upgrade instructions are available Nov 05 16:28:21 and should be testable Nov 05 16:28:25 lemme find the link Nov 05 16:28:31 * MohammadAG makes DebiaGo Nov 05 16:28:39 doesn't sound cool enough Nov 05 16:28:45 DevilGo Nov 05 16:28:48 morning, btw. Nov 05 16:29:06 lcuk, oh great news ! thnks Nov 05 16:29:24 morning javispedro Nov 05 16:29:55 don't you just love how tmo implodes when a female posts... http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=65055 Nov 05 16:30:27 chances are, it's a he either way.

Nov 05 16:34:10 so, what. Nov 05 16:34:23 I'm just saying, it's not a male only device :P Nov 05 16:34:53 so, would you open a post with your hair color as subject to ask for help? Nov 05 16:35:21 no, I'd open a post with "porn" in the title and a "you suck" in the body :P Nov 05 16:39:45 MohammadAG, is that some kind of self-inflicted mind porn? Nov 05 16:40:31 no, it's a perverts test, just count the views Nov 05 16:41:53 * GAN900 facepalms. Nov 05 16:44:13 "Mexican sales of Ford's Lobo pick-up, popular with drug cartel hitmen, are falling along with those of similar vehicles because motorists fear being mistaken for gangsters by soldiers and police, the head of the U.S. automaker's local subsidiary said on Thursday." Nov 05 16:44:50 I wouldn't buy a car called "Lobo" in the first place Nov 05 16:45:15 or maybe just to pimp it to "Loco" Nov 05 16:45:34 kimitake_idle, you can deactivate that script right away.

Nov 05 16:58:35 you know that file's only purpose is to set that setting to 0. Nov 05 16:58:39 why isn't it set to 1 by default? Nov 05 16:59:24 as I said, why? Nov 05 17:00:04 "hildon-desktop animations are not linear" without it. Nov 05 17:00:45 what does that mean? Nov 05 17:01:04 nokia words, not mine. Nov 05 17:03:15 funny, the desktop is a lot smoother with it Nov 05 17:04:54 what does it do? Nov 05 17:05:45 * javispedro disagrees Nov 05 17:05:58 I see Nov 05 17:06:01 MohammadAG: what it means is obvious now: "linear" in time Nov 05 17:06:02 if blur is enabled, it's shitty Nov 05 17:06:20 Winter comes to Florida Nov 05 17:06:24 javispedro: Nov 05 17:06:24 without it, frames do not seem to be evenly spaced in time Nov 05 17:06:29 GAN: Rain? =) Nov 05 17:06:38 yeah, I can see that Nov 05 17:07:18 makes for an iphony effect fwiw (Apple tends to overuse non linearity in animations...) Nov 05 17:07:33 * javispedro hates it Nov 05 17:09:05 * RST38h does not see any difference, desktpo behaves the same Nov 05 17:09:13 restart the desktop Nov 05 17:09:18 done Nov 05 17:09:27 RST38h: you can also just rename it out of the way Nov 05 17:09:39 rename what? hildon-desktop??? Nov 05 17:09:44 no, the file Nov 05 17:09:46 hildon-desktop.ini Nov 05 17:10:00 so it's set to 1 by default, but that file sets it to 0 Nov 05 17:10:06 the default is UseHWSync=1 since PR1.2 iirc Nov 05 17:10:34 hm Nov 05 17:10:46 was 0 here Nov 05 17:10:55 MohammadAG: I mean the driver default Nov 05 17:11:04 oh Nov 05 17:11:28 hmm, i dont know if that setting made my desktop faster Nov 05 17:11:31 that file is only overriding it Nov 05 17:11:43 (and I guess it was introduced when the default was changed...) Nov 05 17:12:06 the powervr hildon setting Nov 05 17:12:13 restart the desktop Nov 05 17:12:44 i restarted the phone Nov 05 17:12:55 MohammadAG: how Nov 05 17:13:00 i dont know if it is faster though Nov 05 17:13:17 killall hildon-desktop would be one way Nov 05 17:13:27 though that sometimes messes up rotations till you reboot Nov 05 17:13:28 RST38h, nah, winter is dry season. Nov 05 17:13:41 RST38h, highs in the mid 60s. :D Nov 05 17:13:42 it's slower when you have blurring neabled Nov 05 17:13:46 enabled even Nov 05 17:14:07 how do i know if i have blurring and how do i turn it off Nov 05 17:14:24 you see a blurred background when you open the menu Nov 05 17:14:34 oh. i have that Nov 05 17:14:38 edit transitions.ini and set radius and radius_more from 16/12 to 0 Nov 05 17:14:41 whoa Nov 05 17:14:41 this effect is huge Nov 05 17:14:48 /usr/share/hildon-desktop/transitions.ini Nov 05 17:14:48 it looks a bit weird though Nov 05 17:18:35 MohammadAG: where do i place that file? in /etc/hildon-desktop? Nov 05 17:19:25 err, no, just save what you edited Nov 05 17:19:44 ok Nov 05 17:20:00 change all instance of radius/radius_more? Nov 05 17:21:22 there should be only one instance of both Nov 05 17:21:59 in [home] Nov 05 17:22:00 there are two for radius Nov 05 17:22:07 one under home Nov 05 17:22:18 change only the ones under [home] Nov 05 17:22:21 the other under launcher_glow Nov 05 17:22:23 ok Nov 05 17:23:35 let me reboot and see if that helps Nov 05 17:23:54 killall hildson-desktop didnt make it faster, and i still see blurring Nov 05 17:25:25 I just got back from Nov 05 17:25:32 GAN: Oh, the ocean has become unswimmable =) Nov 05 17:26:12 .... oops... new keyboard.... just got back from qt dev days and I am wondering if anybody here tried mixing qml with qt on maemo5... any comments? Nov 05 17:26:48 hmm, i guess either it doesnt work for me or the speed isnt faster than efore i did all this Nov 05 17:26:50 RST38h, not for another few weeks. Nov 05 17:27:01 or you're doing it wrong Nov 05 17:27:04 RST38h, water temp in Tampa Bay is still in the low 80s. Nov 05 17:27:28 MohammadAG: doubtful. it is just a couple files... Nov 05 17:27:40 not brain surgery Nov 05 17:27:41 fcrochik, speak with alterego or even konttori, both dabble with qml quite extensively Nov 05 17:27:56 changes to transitions.ini should be instant, at least for radius and radius_more Nov 05 17:28:22 lcuk, fcrochik I think Jaffa does too Nov 05 17:28:34 well, changing those settings dont make it crazy fast or anything Nov 05 17:28:36 http://meego.gitorious.org/ , so, what does Nokia do when gitorious is down?

Nov 05 17:34:03 ;) anyway it looks like we could make a map of the instructions that something like daggerfall uses Nov 05 17:34:12 using the LOG function... Nov 05 17:34:24 find what it is spending its time doing rasterizing the game data Nov 05 17:34:28 probably. doesn't it have a disassembler?

Nov 05 17:35:03 maybe watch for writes to vga mem Nov 05 17:35:56 RST38h: you think it might be likely one could statically recompile some innerloop in say, Daggerfall or Arena Nov 05 17:36:08 or am i imagining things Nov 05 17:36:31 pupnik_: oh, I see what you're trying to do there. Nov 05 17:36:34 that's called HLE btw. Nov 05 17:36:37 MohammadAG: could you please paste your transitions.ini. stuff looks weird here Nov 05 17:36:40 pupnik: yes, it is possible Nov 05 17:36:47 is wp7 any good?

Nov 05 17:45:05 a few minutes near the Reality Distortion Field and you'll start cheering for ubernerd stuff such as ... a new CoreAnimation API! WhohoooO!!! Nov 05 17:46:19 actually i use lots of apple products. and truth be told, users dont care Nov 05 17:46:25 nerd turf wars Nov 05 17:47:19 javispedro: insanity is finally starting to chew away at Ubuntu engineers Nov 05 17:47:26 * lardman|home moans about Ubuntu's deprecation of xinerama Nov 05 17:47:40 it's just defaults. it's not like canonical is preventing you from installing xorg or your favourite wm if you wish to do so Nov 05 17:47:49 not to mention needing to patch the xserver to get Qt apps to not crash it Nov 05 17:48:00 But, I mean, removing X from Linux??? Nov 05 17:48:20 X was never in linux Nov 05 17:48:49 X is not really needed, if you know how to use a terminal. Nov 05 17:48:53 [for Wikipedians] When saying Linux, I do notmean the kernel.I mean the whole OS. Nov 05 17:49:27 As in "FreeBSD", you know. Or "NetBSD". Or, awww, "Windows" Nov 05 17:49:45 What distro are you thinking about then? Nov 05 17:50:36 Chewtoy: Any semiusable distro - Ubuntu, SuSE, Redhat, Debian Nov 05 17:51:04 ubuntu ditched X in their server ersion. are you mad about that too? Nov 05 17:51:30 Am I mad about Ubuntu ditching it in the desktop version? Nov 05 17:51:30 Why the hell would you want X on a server? Nov 05 17:51:38 Gorroth: do you have stock in Wayland and/or RedHat? Nov 05 17:52:08 exactly. this is just a bunch of nerd turf wars. you guys just dont like change i think Nov 05 17:52:19 * RST38h sighs at Gorroth Nov 05 17:52:37 Ok, just to provide some entertainment tonight, I will explain why Nov 05 17:52:54 * javispedro grabs comfortable chair and popcorn Nov 05 17:53:03 Gorroth: You see, there exists a lot of packaged software for Linux already, or, to make it clear for you, for Ubuntu Linux Nov 05 17:53:30 +ubuntu ditched X in their server ersion. are you mad about that too? Nov 05 17:53:40 server versions of OSs don't usually need anything more than a terminal Nov 05 17:53:43 Gorroth: Most of that software (command line and server tools excluded) depends on the X11 server to communicate with the user Nov 05 17:53:50 since... you know, they're usually accessed over ssh Nov 05 17:53:54 Gorroth: Are you with me, Apple boy? Nov 05 17:54:35 Gorroth: Sooo, once you ditch X11 server, all the above packages will brake. You won'tbe able to use them any more. Capische? Nov 05 17:54:38 i don't think ubuntu ever had a server version with X Nov 05 17:54:46 MohammadAG: exactly my point. now, if you dont like the ubuntu change, im sure you can find a distro that works for you Nov 05 17:54:56 life didnt end Nov 05 17:55:16 you're missing the points Nov 05 17:55:18 RST38h: im not talking to you. you are in love with ad hominem Nov 05 17:55:19 Gorroth: So, yes, as an ordinary Ubuntu user I do care if the software I amcurrently using still works on the next Ubuntu Nov 05 17:55:25 servers don't have a desktop manager Nov 05 17:55:26 and if ubuntu did have a server version with X it was probably pre 5.10 (before i started using it) Nov 05 17:55:33 no, but those using the new Ubuntu won't be able to do much of anything with no apps Nov 05 17:55:37 RST38h, are you familiar with wayland in any way? Nov 05 17:55:48 javispedro: Heh, told you, those lemmings tear easily... Nov 05 17:55:49 don't like ubuntu server edition? install desktop and stfu Nov 05 17:55:52 zokier: No Nov 05 17:55:52 ;P Nov 05 17:56:06 apt-get your way to glory Nov 05 17:56:16 RST38h, look at the last picture at http://wayland.freedesktop.org/architecture.html Nov 05 17:56:32 zokier: And, as an ordinary user, not eager to get familiar with yet another piece of infrastructure. Nov 05 17:56:48 let's just put it this way Nov 05 17:56:56 tripzero: apt-get install 10000000eur Nov 05 17:57:02 QtBrowser: cannot connect to X server :2 Nov 05 17:57:14 that'll be happening a lot ^ Nov 05 17:57:19 zokier: interesting Nov 05 17:57:50 RST38h, no, but you might be interested that transitioning to wayland does not mean that X11-dependand apps will break Nov 05 17:58:01 hello, segfault my old friend Nov 05 17:58:06 i've come to work round you again Nov 05 17:58:28 zokier: so sure about that. copy paste between wayland and x clients? check. drag and drop? check. Nov 05 17:58:30 SIGSEGV! Nov 05 17:58:32 window properties? check. Nov 05 17:58:37 zokier: Well, that page of yours shows running X11 on top of wayland Nov 05 17:58:42 XEmbed? check. Nov 05 17:58:56 they will break _everything_. Nov 05 17:59:04 zokier: So, from engineering point of view, what we have there is exposing compositor directly to the apps Nov 05 17:59:34 X11 is (fortunately or not, depends on who you ask) something more than a big framebuffer device. Nov 05 17:59:42 javispedro: is there any automated HLE that does dynamic -> static recompilation for particular executeables? Nov 05 17:59:44 zokier: You still have a choice of either 1) running X11 on top of wayland (i.e. X11 stays) and 2) not running X11 (i.e. compatibility killed) Nov 05 18:00:50 pupnik_: full static recompilation is not HLE. "Detecting" usual rendering function and using native versions (or GPU) is. Nov 05 18:00:54 zokier: and no, I am not interested in the compositor and "all the cool things one can do with it". Just want my current apps to work. Nov 05 18:00:59 pupnik_: pandora had some full x86 static recompiler work btw Nov 05 18:01:28 pupnik_: aiui they even got some games to work... Nov 05 18:02:11 hmm, how is it that armel python2.5-dateutil exists but i386 python2.5-dateutil does not. thereby breaking my build? Nov 05 18:02:23 gitorious down, any news? Nov 05 18:02:27 lardman|home: packager forgot? =) Nov 05 18:02:36 javispedro: i guess that's the place to discuss some kind of x86 hacking of daggerfall/arena Nov 05 18:02:43 I didn't think you could just select one target? Nov 05 18:02:56 lardman|home: you can, "Architecture: armel" in control file for ex. Nov 05 18:02:58 javispedro: cause unless some of that rendering isn't converted to optimized arm, those games will never run fast on dosbox - imo Nov 05 18:03:05 ah ok Nov 05 18:03:06 javispedro: X11 is not a huge FBdevice? Nov 05 18:03:40 guys on #gitorious can't access it too, so not only me Nov 05 18:03:57 chem|st: "not only" a huge FBdevice. Nov 05 18:04:05 javispedro: is it possible to determine depends using an && operation to tell whether it's 386 or armel? Nov 05 18:04:24 quick question: how can i see my dns servers? resolv.conf only contains 127.0.0.1 Nov 05 18:04:27 lardman|home: yes, but it's a different operator, lemme look it up Nov 05 18:04:32 thanks Nov 05 18:04:40 javispedro: what else is it? Nov 05 18:05:03 lardman|home, https://github.com/lcuk/libliqbase/blob/master/src/Makefile#L12 Nov 05 18:05:07 javispedro: it is a huge xinput device too Nov 05 18:05:25 javispedro: cannot come up with more atm Nov 05 18:05:34 chem|st: see my own checklist above Nov 05 18:06:06 https://github.com/lcuk/libliqbase/blob/master/debian/control#L4 Nov 05 18:06:18 , libosso-dev [!i386], Nov 05 18:06:19 lardman|home: Depends: foo [i386], bar [amd64] Nov 05 18:06:25 lcuk: argh :). thanks! Nov 05 18:06:45 anyone? Nov 05 18:06:45 javispedro, :D Nov 05 18:06:50 xembed? Nov 05 18:07:14 zip 2.32-1maemo2 user/tools 168 <-- how do I pipe this with awk? Nov 05 18:08:04 MohammadAG: any reasons why gitorious down? Nov 05 18:08:10 javispedro: thanks Nov 05 18:08:21 why are you asking me? :| Nov 05 18:08:49 juk: Gitorious down is the reason I'm here wasting everybody's time instead of silently coding =) Nov 05 18:08:54 err Nov 05 18:09:01 zip 2.32-1maemo2 user/tools 168 <-- how do I pipe this with awk to get the first part only Nov 05 18:09:18 ou mean you want the 'zip' Nov 05 18:09:20 use cut? Nov 05 18:09:24 awk '{print $1} Nov 05 18:09:39 Or awk '$0=$1' if you want to confuse people Nov 05 18:10:01 MohammadAG: what are you doing? Nov 05 18:10:26 MohammadAG: you should be fixing Gitorious! Nov 05 18:10:39 * MohammadAG is confused Nov 05 18:10:40 thanks SpeedEvil Nov 05 18:11:16 javispedro, you need a secondary hobby, clearly. Nov 05 18:12:03 so is the arm target known as [armel] ? Nov 05 18:12:08 yep Nov 05 18:12:18 wunderbar, thanks Nov 05 18:14:03 hmm, I see I just won the lottery Nov 05 18:14:11 a whole £9.50 Nov 05 18:14:32 * lardman|home heads to claim winnings and spend it on vino Nov 05 18:14:35 how can i see which dns servers my n900 is using? resolv.conf only contains 127.0.0.1 Nov 05 18:14:48 MohammadAG, you can try and give lardman a wine voucher :P Nov 05 18:14:58 he has more use for it than me Nov 05 18:15:21 lcuk: it's been a long week! ;) Nov 05 18:15:52 lcuk, forward it to him :) Nov 05 18:16:11 continually uploading the 12Mb matplotlob tarball is getting tedious now Nov 05 18:16:12 WakiMiko: probably it is Nov 05 18:16:29 how do i resolve things then? Nov 05 18:17:08 WakiMiko: add your ISPs Nov 05 18:17:40 but i already can resolve hostnames Nov 05 18:17:50 where does it get them from? Nov 05 18:18:18 WakiMiko: did you restart networking? Nov 05 18:19:37 i connected to my wlan, i get a ip from my dhcp server, but it seems to ignore the dns servers Nov 05 18:20:25 WakiMiko, look at /etc/dnsmasq.conf Nov 05 18:21:23 HELL! once again every single pkg in repo is incompatible to PR1.2 :-((( Nov 05 18:22:01 DocScrutinizer51: why don't you upgrade? Nov 05 18:22:18 just because Nov 05 18:23:34 zokier: thanks. the file referenced in dnsmasq (var/run/resolv.conf.wlan0) contains the right dns servers, but the n900 doesnt appear to be using them Nov 05 18:23:46 or, on a more detailed philosophical explanation: I HATE being forced Nov 05 18:24:35 Doc: You mean, evil Nokia is forcing you to upgrade to pr1.3? Nov 05 18:24:37 DocScrutinizer51: what? Nov 05 18:24:43 DocScrutinizer51: which package? Nov 05 18:25:01 e.g. Fahrplan Nov 05 18:25:09 WakiMiko: why? Nov 05 18:25:10 mbarcode Nov 05 18:25:17 python... sigh. Nov 05 18:25:24 yes Nov 05 18:25:58 WakiMiko, maybe it has cached the results so it seems that it's not using current servers? Nov 05 18:26:37 I bet fahrplan is NOT reliant on any pr1.3 things Nov 05 18:26:44 javispedro: I am running into Python haters all the time lately BTW Nov 05 18:26:54 well it cant resolve any of the names on my lan Nov 05 18:27:10 javispedro: Imaging having to defend Python when you do not even like it! :) Nov 05 18:27:21 DocScrutinizer51: python and qt -- killer combination for dependency generation. Nov 05 18:27:39 :-S Nov 05 18:28:01 s/Imaging/Imagine Nov 05 18:28:26 RST38h: heh :) Nov 05 18:28:38 binary packages and multiple versions in general are bit problematic Nov 05 18:29:43 selecting the pre-pr1.3 versions of packages should work Nov 05 18:29:59 BTW, could someone tell me where dpkg data is stored? for installed packages? Nov 05 18:30:12 /var/lib/info/dpkg/* ? Nov 05 18:30:19 (there might be a db elsewhere) Nov 05 18:30:19 a'ok, thanks Nov 05 18:30:26 no Nov 05 18:30:28 but quite a lot of info is there Nov 05 18:30:29 /var/lib/dpkg/info Nov 05 18:30:31 /var/lib/dpkg/info/* Nov 05 18:30:42 and /var/lib/dpkg/status for control files in one file Nov 05 18:30:43 ah yes, thanks MohammadAG Nov 05 18:30:56 zokier: seemingly not for Qt4.7 built stuff, it's calling new symbols from qtcore Nov 05 18:31:02 /var/lib/dpkg/info/* is for .list files, .post/pre* stuff Nov 05 18:32:28 Found and fixed it Nov 05 18:35:00 honestly, HTF can you upgrade a productive device without *proper* backup so you can *really* *completely* rollback to pre-upgrade state on failure??? Nov 05 18:35:21 carefully? Nov 05 18:35:31 HAHA Nov 05 18:35:48 DocScrutinizer51: extras(-stable) should be branched for pr1.2, pr1.3 Nov 05 18:37:29 hmm, this means downgrade to 1.2 possible for extras-stable only. Nice, regarding number of elementary apps NOT in stable Nov 05 18:38:10 that's BS Nov 05 18:38:12 there's not much to be done, really. Nov 05 18:38:31 Doc, why do you want to stay with PR1.3 anyway? Nov 05 18:38:53 good question Nov 05 18:40:56 DocScrutinizer51: you can just reflash the pr1.2 kernel, or your custom one... (you're going to do it eitherway I guess) Nov 05 18:41:47 I CAN NOT restore current state of a production device Nov 05 18:42:26 *IF* upgrade to 1.3 leaves me screwed, I'm busted Nov 05 18:42:46 what's this about? Nov 05 18:43:04 you can roll back to1.2 from 1.3 Nov 05 18:43:31 the point is that if any of your apps was on -devel they will have been rebuilt with pr1.3 components Nov 05 18:44:00 Anybody not seeing the BAD in this shall be sentenced to use slideruler for 10 years, and not touch ANY IT Nov 05 18:44:30 * javispedro does not see the bad: -devel is the unstable repo. Nov 05 18:44:39 it is.. unstable. Nov 05 18:44:57 (a good question for hiring new sysops btw) Nov 05 18:45:08 there's a lot of freedoms that come by publishing your software to a unstable repository that developers seem to like. Nov 05 18:45:47 javispedro: so what? how's that related to rollback? Nov 05 18:46:03 DocScrutinizer51: you cannot rollback if you used software from unstable. Nov 05 18:46:10 DocScrutinizer51: you can rollback if you didn't. Nov 05 18:46:21 FAIL!!!! Nov 05 18:46:45 * GAN900 pokes DocScrutinizer51 with an aluminum pole. Nov 05 18:47:17 is that a soda can, or are you just happy to see me Nov 05 18:49:59 javispedro: only semi-valid way to deal with this in the way Nokia repo recently does were to move all -testing and -devel to PR1.2-stable, same time you're publishing PR1.3 Nov 05 18:50:27 OR offer a decent stable tested way to do FULL DISK IMAGE Nov 05 18:50:47 DocScrutinizer: might be valid features request even, to just tar the entire repo the day before rolling pr1.x Nov 05 18:50:58 YES!!! Nov 05 18:51:04 DocScrutinizer: there's a sane way to do disk imaging now, just boot into meego and tar rootfs Nov 05 18:51:14 andr /home Nov 05 18:51:34 duh, as sane as meego is safe? Nov 05 18:51:37 be glad PR1.3 didn't bring an incompatible cellmo update Nov 05 18:51:38 :P Nov 05 18:52:05 luke-jr_: how do you know? Nov 05 18:52:14 I don't. Nov 05 18:52:18 I still have PR1.2 ☺ Nov 05 18:52:20 see!? Nov 05 18:52:26 me too Nov 05 18:53:03 ah, more warez in tmo! Nov 05 18:53:22 they replaced the warz with warez? Nov 05 18:53:48 incompatible xloader/NOLO update would be equally "nice" Nov 05 18:53:54 * ShadowJK still has 1.2 out of fear upgrading ota will involve a reflash again :) Nov 05 18:54:08 * luke-jr_ just fears Nokia :P Nov 05 18:54:25 or rather, I fear their historic incompetence Nov 05 18:55:10 ack, same here Nov 05 18:55:39 therefore, DocScrutinizer needs to switch to Gentoo Nov 05 18:55:41 <.< Nov 05 18:56:01 DocScrutinizer: you can also boot into rescue, or a minimal system if you fear meego Nov 05 18:56:03 as they evidently don't care about reasonable working rollback, how can you assume they care about anything else Nov 05 18:56:12 DocScrutinizer: maemo.org is not Nokia! Nov 05 18:56:22 maemo.org > Nokia Nov 05 18:56:32 heck, talk.maemo.org > Nokia Nov 05 18:56:34 anyhow, bbl Nov 05 18:58:06 javispedro: it's only place to look for actual help with n900 what is nokia then Nov 05 18:58:19 it's not even 2011 yet, and Garmin is already trying to sell me the 2nd edition of 2011 maps Nov 05 18:58:43 * MohammadAG saves output of maemo-list-user-packages | awk '{print $1}' to pipe to apt later :) Nov 05 18:58:46 juk: uh? rephrase please Nov 05 18:58:56 MohammadAG: that's basically what osso-backup packages does :) Nov 05 18:59:11 javispedro, didn't know that :) Nov 05 18:59:27 MohammadAG: there's even an option in app mgr menu to restore such a package name list file Nov 05 18:59:44 javispedro, I know of that Nov 05 18:59:48 but I hate HAM Nov 05 19:02:19 javispedro: and this (osso-backup.pkgs) will fail epically on restore under a 1.2 Nov 05 19:02:35 yes, if you used -devel software =) Nov 05 19:02:48 so WHAT? Nov 05 19:03:03 THAT's BULLSHIT! Nov 05 19:03:33 tbh I do not remember the exact reasoning between not branching -devel the way -stable is branched Nov 05 19:03:41 s/between/why Nov 05 19:03:50 I can tell you: "too much work" Nov 05 19:04:08 "no business reason"? :) Nov 05 19:04:15 I might even find the email with the exact words, back when Nov 05 19:04:54 now, on pr1.3, we see EXACTLY SAME SHIT again. NOT amused!! Nov 05 19:05:25 wasn't jebba hosting a mirror btw? Nov 05 19:05:35 loong gone Nov 05 19:05:45 jebba is "dead" Nov 05 19:05:54 aka pissed and gone Nov 05 19:05:59 * javispedro ponders if I should host one.. Nov 05 19:06:22 no, ISP would kill me. Nov 05 19:07:00 need an account on a box with 1GB backbone and unlimited traffic? Nov 05 19:07:32 i do! i do! Nov 05 19:07:54 'need' is rather amorphous Nov 05 19:08:08 s/need/like Nov 05 19:08:13 i still do! Nov 05 19:08:17 and that box is some 386 Nov 05 19:08:26 even "would you like me to give you" Nov 05 19:08:44 DocScrutinizer: you could host the mirror yourself then Nov 05 19:08:44 me me me me me! Nov 05 19:08:57 I wonder if repository.maemo.org has public rsync Nov 05 19:09:02 I'm basically not inclined to do Nov 05 19:09:12 but I might share an account for that Nov 05 19:09:35 on what's about the same as openmoko infra Nov 05 19:09:39 anyone know how to disable auto dimming of your n900 screen? it just annoys me Nov 05 19:10:43 DocScrutinizer, hit the mailing list and discuss it. Nov 05 19:10:54 V-ille, not Nokia's decision Nov 05 19:10:59 Extras is maemo.org Nov 05 19:11:02 Hello all Nov 05 19:11:07 anyone get el-v1.db problems every now and then? Nov 05 19:12:00 sometimes I need to delete it because texts get stuck at pending, even though they were really sent Nov 05 19:24:21 * wmarone wonders what happened that he now gets GSM noise on his N900 over headphones :/ Nov 05 19:24:36 but only in the left speaker Nov 05 19:26:26 :/ Nov 05 19:26:41 do you get any music in left? Nov 05 19:26:53 do you get stereo sound in headphones? Nov 05 19:27:05 oh yeah Nov 05 19:27:16 I suspect it's a hint I should get new headphones Nov 05 19:27:37 I moved the stress relief around a bit and it went away Nov 05 19:28:04 when the one wire was disconnected it acted as an antenna :) Nov 05 19:30:31 GSM noise? yeah, I just recently noticed that too Nov 05 19:30:44 do you think this could be caused by upgrading to PR 1.3? Nov 05 19:31:42 doubtful, had it before the update Nov 05 19:32:26 ShadowJK: yeah that's what is probably going on, one strand in the bundle probably. not enough to kill the sound, but enough to pick up the noise. Nov 05 19:34:32 aha, so microsoft chose github too.

Nov 05 21:26:48 Adjective, verb or both? Nov 05 21:27:02 GAN900: adjective Nov 05 21:27:07 unless "fucking morons" was supposed to mean something else Nov 05 21:27:25 hmm, after analysing structure of that sentence Nov 05 21:27:32 (example: dude spent 2 hours on the phone IN FRONT OF MY FUCKING OFFICE, talking about World of Warcraft, and managing his guild, then comes into my office and says "man, I'm tired, my head is aching. And you look like you've done fuck all all day") Nov 05 21:27:53 i believe that was supposed to meant something else Nov 05 21:28:11 GAN900: I guess "spending time with their kids" could be the same as "fucking morons". Depending on the kid, obviously. Nov 05 21:28:41 I can't believe I just fucking said that on a logged channel. Nov 05 21:29:08 so, short answer, MohammadAG, no, I really don't have anything better to do. Nov 05 21:29:38 crashanddie, clearly you should join his guild.

Nov 05 21:59:49 DrGrov: i recommend 16bit.fm russian electronic music channel without commercial ads Nov 05 21:59:52 Hi Nov 05 22:00:01 I kind of feel that I do not want to sell it and it use it for something cool as you zokier and andax recommended. Nov 05 22:00:16 andax: Yes, sounds great. Commercial ads are a PITA. Nov 05 22:00:54 indeed :) Nov 05 22:01:52 ah Nov 05 22:01:57 my eaccelerator was broken Nov 05 22:02:02 that's why it was so slow Nov 05 22:02:22 crashanddie: almost somewhere around that Nov 05 22:02:44 Requests per second: 118.75 [#/sec] (mean) Nov 05 22:02:50 full php and mysql pages Nov 05 22:03:37 damn Nov 05 22:03:47 Requests per second: 1217.27 [#/sec] (mean) Nov 05 22:03:51 simple phpinfo Nov 05 22:03:52 where is it hosted? in france? Nov 05 22:03:56 yes Nov 05 22:04:13 DrGrov: add http://16bit.fm:9000 to the media player for the main channel. You can activate the fm transmitter from within the media player Nov 05 22:05:35 hi there Nov 05 22:06:35 hi ALoGeNo Nov 05 22:09:47 hmm, mysql is doing over 5000q/s Nov 05 22:16:01 jacekowski: depends? Nov 05 22:16:25 9 Nov 05 22:21:42 andax: Then I think I will use my computer instead though since it is connected to the home sound system. Nov 05 22:27:02 DrGrov: I frequently use N900 to watch TV lifestreams Nov 05 22:28:34 DocScrutinizer: via zattoo? Nov 05 22:29:46 andax: nah, e.g http://www.3sat.de/mediathek/?mode=aktuell Nov 05 22:30:06 microb->mediaplayer Nov 05 22:30:55 DocScrutinizer: How does that really work? Works flawlessly? Nov 05 22:31:05 mostly WFM, on DSL-1MB setting, Nov 05 22:31:08 DocScrutinizer: And sorry, still not sent you the two horned adapter :D Nov 05 22:31:27 np Nov 05 22:31:46 DocScrutinizer: I know that I should send it for you but time keeps running away with work. Nov 05 22:32:26 it's not really important, as it doesn't block any of my projects. Just better I get it rather than you trash it Nov 05 22:33:15 oh, big news Nov 05 22:33:34 DocScrutinizer: yes, that is true. it is a shame to lay waste to an two horned adapter Nov 05 22:33:36 on pr1.2 behaviour while shutting down the device with unkillable process was to wd reboot Nov 05 22:33:48 on pr1.3 device hangs Nov 05 22:33:57 I thought pr1.2 behaviour was a feature, guess I was wrong. Nov 05 22:34:24 err, unkillable process? WTF is that? Nov 05 22:34:57 DocScrutinizer: uninterruptable or whatever is called. waiting for read() on down nfs, etc. Nov 05 22:34:58 even PID-1 is killable afaik Nov 05 22:35:33 how to unmount a nfs mount, when remote is down, using messybox only? Nov 05 22:35:49 DocScrutinizer: ah, i see Nov 05 22:35:55 ouch, yes. If it gets stuck in a kernel function, even with a spinlock(?) that *might* actually get nasty Nov 05 22:36:41 DrGrov: the barcode reader app is nice too, i tried it on some products from the supermarket and realized that they try to kill me :) Nov 05 22:36:49 javispedro: screwed Nov 05 22:36:52 issue is that now icd2 's been killed so even if I get the server back up n900 is hanged Nov 05 22:37:08 poor battery cover. How I miss a reset hole. Nov 05 22:37:51 * DocScrutinizer drills a reset hole to javispedro 's battery cover :-D Nov 05 22:37:58 andax: :) Nov 05 22:38:01 andax: lol Nov 05 22:38:47 javispedro: oops, sorry for that useless hole. Actually on N900/BL-5J sort of contacts it's useless Nov 05 22:39:57 javispedro: I could drill TWO holes for you, so you can short the battery with a paperclip Nov 05 22:40:21 I prefer a sw only solution Nov 05 22:40:22 dunno if it would ever recover Nov 05 22:40:23 I'm thinking Nov 05 22:40:55 JMP 0x00000000 ? Nov 05 22:41:03 what if long pressing power button kills wd feeder Nov 05 22:41:16 should suffice Nov 05 22:41:18 so a wd reboot would be guaranteed in ~30s Nov 05 22:41:24 yes Nov 05 22:41:42 night all Nov 05 22:41:46 nite lardman|home Nov 05 22:41:51 but I'm sure you can trigger a hardware reset directly, without help of wd Nov 05 22:42:27 yes, but I want to let it initiate proper shutdown first, but also _guarantee_ it will eventually either shutdown or reboot Nov 05 22:42:55 somehow you have to be able to tell twl4030 "shut down NOW, unconditionally" Nov 05 22:43:53 javispedro: there's some reason twl4030 register writes(? only writes) usually get locked and you need a special key sequence to unlock them Nov 05 22:44:02 that's how I got it Nov 05 22:45:20 nice exercise - how to trigger hw POR on N900 Nov 05 22:45:38 I would call the kernel Nov 05 22:45:50 cat /proc/kmem :-P Nov 05 22:46:13 DocScrutinizer: codecheck.info turned out to be most reliable and concise webresource for barcodes of stuff sold in germany and switzerland Nov 05 22:47:08 sometimes youre faster by typing the number by hand but its cooler with the camera barcode scan :) Nov 05 22:47:08 andax: :nod:, how would I integrate it to mbarcode? Nov 05 22:48:25 I guess mbarcode needs a button to execute arbitrary shell cmd with %1 replaced by the actual barcode reading Nov 05 22:48:27 DocScrutinizer: there is a addon package "web resources" or something like that, its in it Nov 05 22:48:34 ooh Nov 05 22:49:21 the url looks like this: http://www.codecheck.info/mobi/results?text=28108160 Nov 05 22:49:22 * javispedro ponders Nov 05 22:49:33 number = barcode Nov 05 22:49:33 what I should do instead is port autofs to n900, then use that to mount nfs Nov 05 22:49:53 * javispedro likes Nov 05 22:50:27 javispedro: NFS is known to be a PITA and a bitch when it comes to stale locks Nov 05 22:50:55 yeah, so I think autofs with a short timeout makes sense here (mobile device, etc.) Nov 05 22:51:14 a pita I need to build kernel modules for it iirc Nov 05 22:51:32 javispedro: iirc there are some options to teach NFS(-2?) to somewhat behave. But honestly everything else looks better than NFS Nov 05 22:52:13 not going to use cifs here :P Nov 05 22:52:20 sshfs for example seems can even reconnect Nov 05 22:52:28 fuse??? bah Nov 05 22:52:37 what's wrong with fuse? Nov 05 22:53:34 nothing per se, but I need no encryption here Nov 05 22:53:47 :nod: Nov 05 22:54:32 so maybe you're actually better off with samba Nov 05 22:56:09 basically, what I need is: a way to mount a directory from my workstation onto my n900, with posix semantics, and some performance, client caching also valuable. no need for encryption, security. and I also need to be able to umount it if for some reason I am away from LAN and cannot reach workstation. Nov 05 23:04:15 just fyi, if you mount a smb share on PC X from the n900 and then PC X is swithed off or unplugged the n900 can get into a state where it uses the battery very quick Nov 05 23:05:47 Hi all. I seem to have lost my e-mail desktop widget (not on the desktop, not available to add), and am keen to get it back. I've tried to find its parent package to no avail. Any pointers? Nov 05 23:06:12 its probably hidden under another icon Nov 05 23:06:54 client caching? o_O Nov 05 23:07:08 else i would think you just want SSH Nov 05 23:07:27 Psi: I tried moving the other widgets about, but no joy. Nov 05 23:07:35 hm.. Nov 05 23:07:58 is it still missing after a reboot? Nov 05 23:08:19 I figure just re-installing the parent package might help, but I can't figure out what that is. Nov 05 23:08:28 yes, several reboots. Nov 05 23:09:04 and it was a while ago now, so I've forgotten what packages I've installed updated since then. Nov 05 23:09:44 the widget is probably running ya just cant see it Nov 05 23:10:00 otherwise it should be in the list of ones available to add Nov 05 23:10:30 id try to find out how you manually remove a widget from the desktop Nov 05 23:10:40 then see if its there and remove it Nov 05 23:11:02 then you should be able to re-add it Nov 05 23:39:58 aha Nov 05 23:40:10 * javispedro discovers intr,soft nfs mount options Nov 05 23:41:59 hey Nov 05 23:42:25 hm. Nov 05 23:42:40 so init scripts seem to fsck /home at boot? nice touch. Nov 05 23:42:40 is there any AIM plugin for the conversations Nov 05 23:43:01 only if first mount fails, thought. hmpf. Nov 05 23:43:04 or rather, integrated with conversations Nov 05 23:51:05 nice... teh zoomed out view in PR1.3 shows video scaled down Nov 05 23:59:34 javispedro: was your popcorn good? i want you to know i pooped in it Nov 06 00:00:53 that's so old my long-term memory already forgot about it. Nov 06 00:01:04 that's old age Nov 06 00:01:13 no doubt. Nov 06 01:06:35 now, there's lots of really bad stuff about the n900, but, although there's always the possibility of subjective perception, I've got the impression that the audio quality coming out the headphone jack is pretty brilliant Nov 06 01:07:00 does anybody here know how i can combine 2 awk scripts ? Nov 06 01:07:01 at least, better than my crappy ipod Nov 06 01:07:31 Airforlife: 'combine'? just do it? Nov 06 01:11:42 Shapeshifter: check out private Nov 06 01:15:24 nope Nov 06 01:20:29 nope ? Nov 06 01:20:29 Airforlife: how do you combine two cheeses. Nov 06 01:20:42 Airforlife: it's not a question that has a sensible answer. Nov 06 01:21:27 SpeedEvil, i have a tray of cheese nibbles downstairs Nov 06 01:25:42 SpeedEvil: wow, gosh, you're so cool Nov 06 01:33:13 W. T. F. Nov 06 01:33:27 ovi mail soon to be yahoo mail? Nov 06 01:34:03 uh.. source? Nov 06 01:34:10 http://blog.ovi.com/2010/11/06/mail-and-chat-soon-to-be-powered-by-yahoo/ Nov 06 01:36:23 heh... that's... yeah .... Nov 06 01:38:00 in other news, i just found one of those stickers you find on bananas inside a sock i recently laundered Nov 06 01:38:00 * javispedro smells something about "wanting to approach the USA market"... Nov 06 01:41:11 javispedro: ( intr,soft nfs mount options) didn't I mention some options to make NFS "behave" Nov 06 01:46:39 yahoo mail, omg. Even worse than gmail Nov 06 01:48:05 poor yahoo... they don't seem to realise they're dead Nov 06 01:48:30 anyone notice yahoo's website has gone down twice over the past 2 weeks... once for about 4 hours, and once for about an hour? Nov 06 01:52:29 Anyone notice ovi repos have gone down for ... Nov 06 01:52:58 I have a yahoo mail account - I pick up mail there once in a blue moon. Nov 06 01:54:33 was more of a joke that no, no one did notice Nov 06 02:40:41 ~no, hostmode is https://garage.maemo.org/pipermail/h-e-n-devel/2010/000035.html, or SUCCESS Nov 06 02:41:02 infobot: no, hostmode is https://garage.maemo.org/pipermail/h-e-n-devel/2010/000035.html, or SUCCESS Nov 06 02:41:02 okay, DocScrutinizer Nov 06 02:43:49 DocScrutinizer, hot sauce! Nov 06 02:45:27 infobot: no, hostmode is https://garage.maemo.org/pipermail/h-e-n-devel/2010/000035.html, or https://garage.maemo.org/plugins/ggit/browse.php/?p=h-e-n;a=commit;h=d7f76e505b16f7e9305c59c51d02fb1473ab5b2c - or simply *SUCCESS* Nov 06 02:45:27 okay, DocScrutinizer Nov 06 02:48:55 ~tell javispedro about hostmode Nov 06 02:50:48 nice Nov 06 02:50:58 RST38h: ^^^ thanks for the device :-) Nov 06 02:53:39 DocScrutinizer, what was this new image flashing thing identified? Nov 06 02:53:51 * lcuk recalls something but cannot pinpoint details Nov 06 02:56:13 javispedro: that's about as good as it gets. We seem to find no way to switch LS/FS while FORCE_HOST, and we need to set FORCe_HOST prior to applying VBUS otherwise we run into device-mode deadend. And we can't detect LS vs FS/HS periph without VBUS. Also CONNECT-IRQ is expected to miss while FORCE_HOST (according SPRUF98D), so we need "echo F" to start session/enum Nov 06 02:57:09 the patch seems simple enough Nov 06 02:57:17 though I guess I'm missing the entire repo history here Nov 06 02:58:25 It's low ++/-- count, it's complicated to get the *right* ones :-P Nov 06 02:58:29 before we die, let's try to teach Nov 06 02:58:50 lcuk: sorry? Nov 06 02:59:16 lcuk: PLEASE REPHRASE Nov 06 02:59:22 opps capslock **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sat Nov 06 02:59:57 2010
