Aug 06 05:53:05 yep, bought 2, both 1mm too big Aug 06 05:53:25 btw do u know if starting a charge invalidates vdq? Aug 06 05:53:39 cant trim them? Aug 06 05:54:23 VDQ? Aug 06 06:00:22 its a value the bq chip sets when a full charge is detected Aug 06 06:00:37 its used to learn battery capacity Aug 06 06:00:51 afaik Aug 06 06:02:10 hmm Aug 06 06:02:44 was going to copy a directory from a remote machine, but for some reason I get bash: -c: line 0: syntax error near unexpected token `(' Aug 06 06:03:37 The directory name contains a "(" (and also a ")"), i guess that's the problem. But the fact that it failed - is it my fault or a bug within scp? Aug 06 06:04:23 I can just rename it, but i wonder if that error is a bug within scp (so I can send in a bug report then) Aug 06 06:08:11 how r u specifying the filename Aug 06 06:08:26 i think you need to escape such chars Aug 06 06:08:51 just a thought, im just a noob Aug 06 06:09:43 I'm indeed escaping them Aug 06 06:11:14 i did: scp -r fiq@(censored):/home/fiq/Rollspelet\(2\)/Rollspelet ~/testmappen Aug 06 06:12:50 tried double escaping? Aug 06 06:12:58 \\( Aug 06 06:13:13 Nah, but i guess that would work Aug 06 06:13:30 just renamed the directory... less problems then Aug 06 06:13:37 :) Aug 06 06:44:44 http://www.linuxfordevices.com/c/a/News/VisionMobile-Open-Governance-Index/ Aug 06 07:47:56 one more noob question about setting up usb network. i connected n900 beast to usb, run ifconfig usb0 192.168.1.2 up on it, run isconfig 192.168.1.1 up on host, checked routes (exist), tried to ping - doesn't work. pinging from both sides has TX count of > 0 and RX of 0. what's going wrong? Aug 06 07:49:17 on host, cdc_ether and usbnet are loaded Aug 06 07:56:02 ah no tx and rx on device are 0 Aug 06 07:58:29 gena2x: http://pastebin.com/BbLTP1tn Aug 06 07:58:48 That's my host computer's /etc/network/interfaces chunk for USBnet Aug 06 07:59:22 It seems to work for pinging and ssh; haven't messed with internet over it Aug 06 08:02:30 only diff is using 2.x network and firewall config Aug 06 08:03:04 Make sure you're in PC Suite mode on the device Aug 06 08:03:11 yes i am Aug 06 08:03:23 and storage mode works ok Aug 06 08:03:38 i have no firewall on host at all Aug 06 08:03:47 so everything should be allowed Aug 06 08:04:06 and for freerunner usb network works well Aug 06 08:04:08 On device, in /etc/network/interfaces, you've got the same basic inet static,? Aug 06 08:04:24 i config it manually from command line Aug 06 08:04:39 Just put it in that file Aug 06 08:04:43 via ifconfig usb0 192.168.1.2 up Aug 06 08:05:05 hate rrain Aug 06 08:06:05 http://pastebin.com/Ww3p9dMc Aug 06 08:06:21 put that in your device's /etc/network/interfaces file, then try reconnecting Aug 06 08:06:30 It's worth a shot Aug 06 08:07:06 2.x network is wifi here :( Aug 06 08:07:23 and it should work without gateway Aug 06 08:07:45 damn... why in hell nothing works out of box on n900 too? Aug 06 08:08:01 Like USB networking? It's cause you're running Linux Aug 06 08:08:15 the PS Suite Windows app does some of that automatically... Aug 06 08:08:28 it certainly allows for some internet connection sharing. Aug 06 08:08:52 'sharing' one iptables line Aug 06 08:08:58 so it's not a problem Aug 06 08:09:28 All I can say is... I don't know. It works for me Aug 06 08:09:40 you lucky... Aug 06 08:09:42 I followed some set of instructions, and it worked right. Aug 06 08:09:53 thanks for suggestions anyway Aug 06 08:12:16 NP Aug 06 08:40:04 gena2x: wiki has correct ino on usb network. basically n900 has static ip of 192.168.2.15, and next higher ip is for pc side Aug 06 08:41:21 has worked without any issues for me. Aug 06 08:44:18 sorry, pc side is 192.168.2.14 Aug 06 08:47:14 http://wiki.maemo.org/N900_USB_networking Aug 06 09:32:07 achipa, ping Aug 06 09:32:34 MohammadAG: pong Aug 06 09:32:51 achipa, we're upgrading Qt to 4.7.4 in the CSSU Aug 06 09:33:08 with more testing this time Aug 06 09:33:20 Cannot mix incompatible Qt library (version 0x40700) with this library (version 0x40704) Aug 06 09:33:33 should we also send recompiled versions of libqtm-*? Aug 06 09:36:03 hey Aug 06 09:36:04 sup Aug 06 09:36:09 yeah Aug 06 09:36:15 though there are pitfalls thre Aug 06 09:36:16 there Aug 06 09:36:26 that's why I didn't do much with it... Aug 06 09:36:28 achipa, which are? Aug 06 09:36:54 for example if you go to 1.2, you will break all 1.1 apps that use Map* elements Aug 06 09:37:02 no no no Aug 06 09:37:22 I don't want to upgrade libqtm- packages to 1.2 Aug 06 09:37:35 ah, you want to keep the 1.0.2 ? Aug 06 09:37:48 yeah, just recompiling them against 4.7.4 Aug 06 09:37:51 that should work... in theory at least ;) Aug 06 09:38:02 don't think anyone tested that combo Aug 06 09:38:04 shouldn't they be compatible though? Aug 06 09:38:10 "in theory" Aug 06 09:39:51 multimediakit is the most 'sensitive' in that regard, the rest should be ok Aug 06 09:40:02 hmm Aug 06 09:40:30 MohammadAG, still here? Aug 06 09:40:46 the last Qt update didnt go so smoothly though... Aug 06 09:40:55 achipa, can you give suggestions in one area though Aug 06 09:41:05 shoot Aug 06 09:41:14 not all CSSU users have all libqtm packages installed Aug 06 09:41:21 rright Aug 06 09:41:31 but those that do have to install the recompiled version Aug 06 09:41:33 N9 priced around 550 euro. Aug 06 09:41:38 news from China. Aug 06 09:41:59 is there a way to tell apt to upgrade if already installed? Aug 06 09:42:52 probably not Aug 06 09:42:53 jiero, how many GB? Aug 06 09:42:57 HAM is a pain in the butt Aug 06 09:43:18 achipa, HAM is slow and should be replaced asap Aug 06 09:43:24 Hurrian: 16GB Aug 06 09:43:30 owch Aug 06 09:43:33 what the... Aug 06 09:43:46 Hurrian, this one will Aug 06 09:43:56 achipa, so any suggestions? or should I just have a preinst window saying "you should install the recompiled versions" Aug 06 09:44:53 MohammadAG, you fixed Qt 4.7.4? Aug 06 09:45:41 MohammadAG: can't you make the pr-whatever-cssu package depend on it ? will it not pull all those in ? Aug 06 09:45:53 freemangordon did Aug 06 09:45:58 good morning Aug 06 09:46:27 achipa, that'd install libqtm for those who don't need it Aug 06 09:46:27 that or throw an 'if package x then apt-get install package x' Aug 06 09:46:28 (the root problem being that you don't want to end up with different versions of different modules) Aug 06 09:46:59 MohammadAG: do we care ? they are small, optified, and people will need it more and more Aug 06 09:47:28 achipa, can I have a question for you? Aug 06 09:47:29 Hurrian, apt can't nest itself Aug 06 09:47:29 so you can't run apt from postinst Aug 06 09:47:45 you can, but you may not ask it :P Aug 06 09:47:47 D: Aug 06 09:48:05 Hurrian: if you want to apt-get within an install scrpit, it means your dependencies are wrong ;) Aug 06 09:48:11 heh Aug 06 09:48:22 Venemo: shoot Aug 06 09:48:22 b-b-but it's a conditional statement! Aug 06 09:49:24 achipa, I have a QML model-view setup for displaying my IRC channel list and it works. however, in the delegate when the user clicks on a channel name, I want the app to switch to a different channel. for this, I would need to call a method of the model, but unfortunately I can't seem to do that. Aug 06 09:50:07 emit signal ? Aug 06 09:50:15 I can't listen to the model's signals either Aug 06 09:50:27 I tried QML Connections element, it says no such signal Aug 06 09:50:41 you mean view's signals ? Aug 06 09:50:44 seems that nothing else is avalilable from the model, only the stuff I set as "roles" Aug 06 09:50:55 I mean the model's signals. Aug 06 09:51:12 you mean delegate's signals ? Aug 06 09:51:16 ( :) ) Aug 06 09:51:27 no, I mean, the _model_'s signals Aug 06 09:51:34 yes, yes, kidding Aug 06 09:52:03 I have a class called ChannelModel, which has a signal: void receiveMessage(const QMessageModel &message) Aug 06 09:52:28 and I have a ListModel filled with these. Aug 06 09:52:30 signals named "receive..." are just wrong Aug 06 09:52:49 in fact, it's called messageReceived Aug 06 09:52:52 I was just typoing. Aug 06 09:53:00 but don't try to change the subject :P Aug 06 09:53:02 that's a different thing ;) Aug 06 09:53:04 onReceivedMessaged Aug 06 09:53:15 oh, signals, nvm Aug 06 09:54:22 but anyway, doesn't ring a bell, and can't really check (not at a dev-capable comp) Aug 06 09:54:58 Venemo: I'd poke people at qt-qml Aug 06 09:55:14 too, many, qt-, channels Aug 06 09:56:52 achipa, well, I found a workaround: I added Q_INVOKABLE (new q* spell) method to my ListModel subclass Aug 06 09:57:36 achipa, oh, by the way... why are the examples telling me that I need to subclass QAbstractWhateverModel every time I need it for something? Aug 06 10:19:57 Hmm... US down to AA+ Aug 06 10:20:21 Only? Aug 06 10:20:32 give it time. Aug 06 10:20:33 I'd have expected it'd be a B or D by now Aug 06 10:21:06 anybody familiar with CSS can help to tweak the svg-edit ui ? let it fit N900? Aug 06 10:22:56 gah, my N900 wont switch with a USB connected, no matter how much battery it has Aug 06 10:29:52 hiemanshu: same problem here. a solution is open the lens, and press shutter... Aug 06 10:30:17 jiero: ok, thats an odd workaround, but what ever works :) Aug 06 10:41:53 your N900 actually bots to runlevel $CHARGING whenever connected to USB, if it "doesn't switch on" then there's a probelm with kernel and/or initsystem Aug 06 10:53:41 is there any windows tool to unpack debs ? Aug 06 10:53:52 casketizer, 7-zip Aug 06 10:53:57 thx Aug 06 10:54:13 DocScrutinizer, namely, /sbin/preinit Aug 06 10:54:23 do note multiboot alters it tho Aug 06 10:57:49 prolly a large cause of bootlooping Aug 06 11:01:17 fuckin docpurge Aug 06 11:01:32 is it safe to delete that scourge? Aug 06 11:50:58 is package build-essentio Aug 06 11:51:02 err Aug 06 11:51:27 is package build-essential available in official repositories? Aug 06 11:51:53 im going to install but it says its not available Aug 06 11:52:53 On my n900, I have git 1.6.5.7-3. Anyone know if someone has ported 1.7? Aug 06 12:06:16 * GAN900 stabs things. Aug 06 12:09:45 GAN900, nah, nah, nah. Stabbing things is for #meego , you had the right channel. Aug 06 12:09:50 :p Aug 06 12:10:48 sorry folks, please confirm that n950 has no sdcard slot?

Gee, I was hoping there was only one of them and they were located far far away. Now your telling me I have a local one? Aug 06 12:15:02 Why do you have to make life so difficult? :p Aug 06 12:15:03 ^^ Aug 06 12:15:46 Termana, yes, we're trying to get one in every country Aug 06 12:15:51 at least one Aug 06 12:16:53 I just hope abill_us will be as far as possible from me Aug 06 12:17:13 same with abill_can Aug 06 12:17:17 robbiethe1st, I have no doubt abill_us would be from Texas Aug 06 12:17:23 Oh.

Aug 06 12:22:00 No, that's "I C WUT U DID THER" Aug 06 12:22:08 MohammadAG, I was kind of hoping you would look up Australian "states" and declare that we have 6 abill_aus' Aug 06 12:22:24 Then I would have told you that I would go to one of the two territories Aug 06 12:23:14 robbiethe1st, we have a bogan infestation down here, but I'm not sure which is worse. abill_aus or the bogans Aug 06 12:23:34 That's a trick question, isn't it? Aug 06 12:23:42 what if we equalize the number of abill_aus and bogans? Aug 06 12:24:01 They'd cancel each other out? Aug 06 12:24:20 MohammadAG, how about you just stick em all in New Zealand Aug 06 12:24:25 Then they can all share their sheep Aug 06 12:24:31 err... I mean... shear!

Been only using it for 2-3 days and I've already used up 700mb of the 2000 I have ^^ Aug 06 17:40:04 Shapeshifter: not much I could recommend, except maybe the data traffic volume warning function Aug 06 17:43:11 I've set it to a relatively low volume threshold right now, like 10MB or sth, So I get a notice for every chunk eaten from my 500 volume Aug 06 17:44:12 (not tethering, so 500 usually fine here) Aug 06 17:48:54 i have 50mb/day Aug 06 17:48:55 :| Aug 06 17:49:25 I have 6G a month, and when that is used, I pay $2 more for another 6G Aug 06 17:49:47 well mine just gets throttled after 2G but is unlimited in general. Aug 06 17:49:55 I just need to get a fix line internet connection that's all. Aug 06 17:50:20 Shapeshifter: drops from 3G to EDGE? Aug 06 17:51:33 wtf? throttling sucks. :( Aug 06 17:52:20 do you have also throttlet internet connections at home? Aug 06 17:52:41 My operator's TOS says I could be deprioritized for using "too much". I don't know what "too much" is. I used 20 gigs a month for half a year, and didn't experience any "depioritization" :P Aug 06 17:53:15 20 gigs per month is nothing... Aug 06 17:53:33 if you just watch few movies from hululu/alike you'll easily go over that. Aug 06 17:54:05 Yeah iirc it was just gpodder set to download a fairly active youtube channel :) Aug 06 17:54:10 ShadowJK: most ISPs here give you unlimited day, which is throttled after a certain limit Aug 06 17:54:37 I have an old plan, so I get unthrottled data, and my ISP calls me up is my monthly usage is below 150G Aug 06 17:54:42 wait, 20gb/month on your landline? Aug 06 17:55:00 holy shit, sometimes i use more than 20gb in a day Aug 06 17:55:31 kerio, what that does in a month? 600GB? Aug 06 17:56:02 c'mon limits on DSL are insane, nobody does that here Aug 06 17:56:21 DocScrutinizer, where, may I ask? Aug 06 17:56:29 OTOH you can't get truely unlimited 3G data here Aug 06 17:56:38 I've got unlimited 10/10 landline. Aug 06 17:57:48 anyway we're not discussing DSL, are we? Aug 06 17:58:33 I guess not. Aug 06 17:58:39 amti: :3 Aug 06 17:58:56 In here, they're selling unlimited 3g-dataplans as replacement to landlines... Aug 06 17:59:01 iirc i downloaded the whole MAME rom+chdset in like three days Aug 06 17:59:11 :D Aug 06 17:59:29 if I may say, I play with virtualization and my monthly data usage is over 1TB easily. Aug 06 17:59:41 that's 265,27gb Aug 06 17:59:44 amti: over 3G? Aug 06 18:00:08 DocScrutinizer, no. over my landline. my 3G is capped at 2MBps since it's really old plan. Aug 06 18:00:52 so what? Nobody cares about landline data volumes Aug 06 18:01:09 I guess we're all just chatting for fun - what's your excuse? Aug 06 18:01:28 I'm pissed about 3G data volume limit, esp since my 3G is potetially faster than my DSL Aug 06 18:02:16 so you have sucky DSL. What do you do with your 3G that you need speed? Aug 06 18:15:28 hiemanshu: not sure, I assume they can throttle it on their end. Aug 06 18:15:57 ah ok Aug 06 18:16:09 amti: nah at home I've got 25mbit and it's never throttled Aug 06 18:16:58 Ofc someone has faster, that's old news. Aug 06 18:17:53 I have 2Mbit :/ Aug 06 18:18:18 what do you use it for? Aug 06 18:18:39 I'd rip my pants off if I'd have 2Mbitps or only 3G :D Aug 06 18:19:25 but my deal is goin well. Adding up to the whole year I pay 289chf, which includes internet, any sms and free calls within the network plus a Nexus S. I'm currentlx selling it on ebay and it's at 215chf, expecting to get around 250. Aug 06 18:19:51 so a year worth of mobile surfing etc for around 35 euros isn't bad :) Aug 06 18:20:06 well it's not bad if you don' Aug 06 18:20:16 if you don't need that smartphone. Aug 06 18:20:41 I have an n900 after all. actually I've got a spare one as well Aug 06 18:21:14 I'm paying 10 euros per month for 2Mbitps 3G and that doesn't include any thing else than 20 free sms's via ISP's website. Aug 06 18:21:46 so all the sms and calls are extra to that... not that I'd call much. Aug 06 18:21:53 mhhm Aug 06 18:22:15 it's too bad that landline internet is so expensive. 25mbit is around 45 euros Aug 06 18:22:23 5mbit for around 27 Aug 06 18:22:37 50 for 55 euros Aug 06 18:23:53 they'll add tv and a phone for just 10 more but I never use that stuff Aug 06 18:25:42 amti: the max I can get here for a decent price is that Aug 06 18:26:00 amti: sucks being in India, but everything else is shit cheap though, so it makes up for it Aug 06 19:07:46 I'm looking for an extremly cheap nokia phone with gps (not a-gps) does anyone know what the bottom barrel nokia phone is with a real gps chip? Aug 06 19:45:08 sevard: The prerequisite for a-gps is a gps reciever anyway Aug 06 19:48:25 agps makes receivers cheaper ... so you wont find a non agps cheap phone Aug 06 19:49:16 less receiver channels, less quality amplifiers, smaller antenna Aug 06 19:51:03 Faster lock, better urban canyon performance Aug 06 19:56:20 hi Aug 06 21:16:34 SpeedEvil: any fast Vbat AD already? Aug 06 21:27:38 valdyn_ cehteh I'm looking for a phone with a _real_ gps chip. Apparently a-gps will only work with a mobile data connection and the phone I'm looking for needs to 1) have a real gps chip 2) cheap 3) run endomondo 4) have no mobile subscription Aug 06 21:28:23 sevard: any agps can work in gps only mode, but some do that rather poorly Aug 06 21:28:56 what kind of application, why dont you use an external usb or bluetooth gps dongle, these are cheap Aug 06 21:29:01 sevard: no Aug 06 21:29:03 it looks like the sirf III chips do it very well Aug 06 21:29:13 sevard: it will work without mobile data Aug 06 21:29:16 sevard: these are same chips Aug 06 21:29:18 cehteh: I'm looking for a means to track several runners via gps Aug 06 21:29:19 sirf iii wont be in cell phone Aug 06 21:29:23 sevard: + they have agps capability Aug 06 21:29:34 jacekowski: but from what I read a-gps only works with a mobile subscriptoin Aug 06 21:29:40 sevard: yes Aug 06 21:29:53 sevard: but these chips are fully functional standalone gps chips Aug 06 21:29:59 sevard: that can work in assisted mode Aug 06 21:30:02 agps is only software .. but you can make the receivers used for agps cheaper, substitute that by software Aug 06 21:30:18 My ultimate goal was to find a phone that works very well without a mobile subscription and give it to several runners to help us track our runs Aug 06 21:30:33 buy a handheld gps Aug 06 21:30:33 sirf 3 is good but not cheap and iirc no cell phone uses that Aug 06 21:30:34 sevard: only thing is that with phones you have smaller antennas Aug 06 21:30:41 are you runners going to be making phone calls? Aug 06 21:30:45 youre Aug 06 21:30:46 tank-man: no Aug 06 21:30:47 sevard: and signal that gets to the gps chip is much weaker Aug 06 21:30:53 http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=GB5mpZJt Aug 06 21:30:55 often gps is integrated in the broadband chipset Aug 06 21:31:03 sevard: so it's harder for that chip to get a lock Aug 06 21:31:15 these are all of the phones that support endomondo, but if i could find a phone that already tracks gps coordinates with time stamps and outputs in gpx that would suffice Aug 06 21:31:20 sevard: because without assist it means it has to recieve clear signal for few minutes Aug 06 21:31:33 yay Aug 06 21:31:34 jacekowski: i understand that Aug 06 21:31:34 sevard: whats that list? Aug 06 21:31:42 ah Aug 06 21:31:56 ~gsm-agps Aug 06 21:31:57 i heard rrlp is the Radio Resource LCS (Location Service) Protocol as specified first in GSM TS 04.31, or http://security.osmocom.org/trac/wiki/RRLP Aug 06 21:32:11 I've been looking through all the nokias on tha tlist and they seem, so far, to only support agps Aug 06 21:32:11 sevard: if you get any phone, remove sim from it and disable gsm Aug 06 21:32:17 sevard, http://www.qstarz.com/Products/GPS%20Products/BT-Q1000.html Aug 06 21:32:19 sevard: it's only addon Aug 06 21:32:22 what is endomondo? Aug 06 21:32:24 sevard: it's fully standalone gps Aug 06 21:32:30 sevard: with assist capabilities Aug 06 21:32:32 can you run the software somewhere else? Aug 06 21:32:33 cehteh: endomondo is a gps tracking applicatoin Aug 06 21:32:37 sevard: a gps in GSM will *allways* be agps Aug 06 21:32:48 hey there are thousands track logging apps Aug 06 21:32:51 see ~gsm-agps Aug 06 21:32:52 why do you need that? Aug 06 21:32:56 sevard: you get any of these and leave it with clear sky and with disabled gsm Aug 06 21:33:03 sevard: and it will get lock after 10-20 minutes Aug 06 21:33:17 and *every* agps also works without "a" Aug 06 21:33:25 there are usb gps dongles you can just drop in your backpack logging stuff and later you analyze the data Aug 06 21:33:46 why do you need this special app? Aug 06 21:33:48 jacekowski: 10-20 minutes is unreasonable for my applicaton... the garmin in my car doesn't have a-gps and gets a signal lock in under 60 seconds Aug 06 21:34:01 not when cold booting Aug 06 21:34:10 sevard: because it remembers positions Aug 06 21:34:23 but yes devices with agps often dont put much effort into unassissted locks Aug 06 21:34:26 cehteh: I don't, if I found another platform that has a fast gps chip and software that outputs into GPX format that I could get over usb or bluetooth that would suffice. Aug 06 21:34:33 sevard: please don't first do the conclusions and then ask for transforming them to a real thing. This never works, esp when you got no clear idea about the topic Aug 06 21:34:44 sevard: and these devices have much better antennas than you can ever put in phone Aug 06 21:34:48 sevard: explain your needs and ask for solutions! Aug 06 21:35:07 sevard: and the way it works is almost like assisted gps Aug 06 21:35:12 sevard, i just pasted a link to such a device Aug 06 21:35:15 DocScrutinizer: ... thanks for the advice. Aug 06 21:35:18 any gps is slow at cold boot, thats a design constraint Aug 06 21:35:20 tank-man: I'm readin gup on it Aug 06 21:35:30 sevard: but instead of using frech data from internet, it's using data that it recieved recently Aug 06 21:35:58 sevard: if you switch it off and move it 200 miles away, it will take probably around 10 minutes to lock Aug 06 21:35:58 the one i linked to has the following stats: Cold start 36s, Warm start 33s,Hot start 1s Aug 06 21:36:08 no, not even the most expensive gps can do a fast unassisted cold startup Aug 06 21:36:38 tank-man: 36sec is iirc impossible Aug 06 21:36:49 tank-man: The price point point is about 3x too much for me :( Aug 06 21:36:51 no it is not Aug 06 21:36:56 tank-man: it is impossible Aug 06 21:37:06 tank-man: cold start means that almanac is unknown Aug 06 21:37:11 how is it 3x more expensive than a smart phone? Aug 06 21:37:16 the sideband which is used to transmit the data is slower Aug 06 21:37:27 tank-man: and it takes 10minutes+ to transmit alamac Aug 06 21:37:31 almanac* Aug 06 21:37:40 jacekowski, i used this device with my nokia n800 Aug 06 21:37:42 under perfect conditions Aug 06 21:37:50 tank-man: then it wasnt cold Aug 06 21:37:55 tank-man: then it already knew alamanac Aug 06 21:38:03 it had some almanac stored and interpolated that Aug 06 21:38:04 tank-man: lot of devices have preprogrammed alamac in them Aug 06 21:38:08 and it also can be used as a standalone device that logs info Aug 06 21:38:13 tank-man: because it doesn't change Aug 06 21:38:55 i only quoted the info from the sites web page and its about the same as my experience with the device Aug 06 21:38:59 well it changes but once you recieve it it's good for half a year Aug 06 21:39:06 tank-man: that's marketing bs Aug 06 21:39:08 hm Aug 06 21:39:22 tank-man: you can't lock in less than 1s Aug 06 21:39:30 tank-man: because you can't sync clock that fast Aug 06 21:40:14 a hot start in 1s is possible Aug 06 21:40:17 i dont know what 'hot start' is , but in my experience with the device, once i turn it on, in about 30 sec it has my gps position Aug 06 21:40:42 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Positioning_System#Message_format Aug 06 21:40:46 MTK GPS Module Aug 06 21:40:58 but it's evil from the manufacturer to quote that as their hot start time. Aug 06 21:41:05 because you won't see it much in RL. Aug 06 21:41:12 sevard: there are gps track-logger dongles for as cheap as 20-30 eur Aug 06 21:41:50 usb, small battery which last about a day and enough memory to track that day Aug 06 21:42:12 cehteh: I haven't found a cheap one, i've been looking, 30 eur is like 70 usd, i was hoping for something aroun 30usd so i could buy 5 or 6 of them and gift them. that's why i was looking at old phones Aug 06 21:42:35 sevard: then you can use phones Aug 06 21:42:38 huh is the $ dropped that much? Aug 06 21:42:45 sevard: but it will take ages to lock Aug 06 21:42:47 but don't complain when they take 30 minutes to get a lock :) Aug 06 21:42:54 jacekowski: that's why i was looking for something that didn't rely on a-gps Aug 06 21:43:02 i caclulate usually 1Eur == 1Dollar when electronic gadgets are involved :P Aug 06 21:43:03 sevard: it's not relying on agps Aug 06 21:43:04 and that's why i came here Aug 06 21:43:12 sevard: agps is just an ADDON Aug 06 21:43:20 sevard: it's fully standalone device Aug 06 21:43:37 jacekowski: these nokia devices say they ONLY work with a-gps and not "integrated gps" Aug 06 21:43:42 sevard: even your garmin can do agps Aug 06 21:43:51 sevard: where does it say so Aug 06 21:43:57 all of these documents say a-gps requires a cellular data connection Aug 06 21:44:03 sevard: yes Aug 06 21:44:06 sevard: AGPS Aug 06 21:44:09 "AGPS requires a cellullar data connection" is a true statement. Aug 06 21:44:12 but my garmin doesn't have a cellular subscription Aug 06 21:44:16 sevard: but it can do normal gps Aug 06 21:44:19 sevard: but it can do agps Aug 06 21:44:26 oh. Aug 06 21:44:27 sevard: you connect phone to it over bt Aug 06 21:44:31 "AGPS requires a data connection" :) Aug 06 21:44:32 sevard: and it will do agps Aug 06 21:44:55 http://www.google.com/search?q=gps+dongle Aug 06 21:45:04 sevard: or you can do almost like agps by connecting it to computer and you can get agps data over the interwebs to the device Aug 06 21:45:26 it's called QuickFix in tomtom Aug 06 21:45:38 GNSS is standalone gps :) Aug 06 21:45:53 android tablets can do that too (get quicker fix over internet) Aug 06 21:45:53 and it's downloading week worth of agps data using computer to store it on device Aug 06 21:46:02 tank-man: everything can do that Aug 06 21:46:18 tank-man: but sevard thinks that if device can do that then it can't do normal fixes Aug 06 21:48:06 sevard: agps means that instead of pulling alamanac and ephemeris data from satelite it can get it from internet Aug 06 21:48:17 sevard: but it can still get it from satelite Aug 06 21:48:23 cheaper to have checkpoints for those runners and log that info manually :) haha Aug 06 21:49:24 sevard: but because agps is mostly used in devices like mobile phones, which because of space limitations don't have very good antennas, and therefore it's harder for them to recieve clear signal for 20 minutes required to get all data from cold start Aug 06 21:50:11 sevard: well, even minute of clear signal required for cold start is a problem very often in devices like that Aug 06 21:50:22 .. and on the other side, many agps enabled devices fail to store and interpolate the data for later reuse :/ Aug 06 21:50:59 cehteh: i don't think any device stores more than alamac data Aug 06 21:51:09 not even normal gps recievers Aug 06 21:51:32 DocScrutinizer: ot yet, though I think I understan how I'm going to do it Aug 06 21:51:43 well the point is for how long you consider them valid and maybe interpolate them some later time Aug 06 21:52:00 well, ephemeris is only valid for hour Aug 06 21:52:06 so it's useless Aug 06 21:52:14 only data that can be reused is almanac data Aug 06 21:52:31 integrate/callibrate with signals you already receive .. if for example you have only 1 lock you can used that to syncronize time and interpolate almanac Aug 06 21:53:04 ephemeris is valid for 2-4 hours .. but better have some invalid ephemeris than none at all Aug 06 21:53:08 you can't interpolate almanac Aug 06 21:53:30 satellites are fully independen Aug 06 21:53:57 All sats broadcast the almanac. Aug 06 21:54:00 and invalid ephemeris is as good as none Aug 06 21:54:01 As I understood it. Aug 06 21:54:07 SpeedEvil: yes Aug 06 21:54:23 SpeedEvil: it still takes 10+ minutes to recieve it Aug 06 21:54:28 I never worked out if they all broadcast it in synchrony, or not. Aug 06 21:54:29 and if there is any error in transmission Aug 06 21:54:32 like tunnel Aug 06 21:54:34 or a tree Aug 06 21:54:41 or it was covered for a second Aug 06 21:54:51 If they don't, you can put it togetehr from multiple sources Aug 06 21:54:55 whole of the almanac is useless Aug 06 21:55:24 its all about software stitching this together .. Aug 06 21:55:27 SpeedEvil: well, i don't think gps recievers recieve on all frequencies at the same time Aug 06 21:55:33 jacekowski: yes they do. Aug 06 21:55:38 Modern ones at least. Aug 06 21:55:42 thats my point in agps phones the usually dont put that much efforts into this software Aug 06 21:55:51 Where modern is >1995 Aug 06 21:55:53 cehteh: and you would have to know which parts are you recieving Aug 06 21:55:58 they don't send sync Aug 06 21:56:00 cehteh: you do. Aug 06 21:56:09 SpeedEvil: are you sure theey don't just do frequency hoping? Aug 06 21:56:14 jacekowski: very Aug 06 21:56:19 nope Aug 06 21:56:21 and each sat sends his own current data about own pos in as little as 15s Aug 06 21:56:25 I've actually got part way through a GPS reciever design. Aug 06 21:56:34 well i am off Aug 06 21:56:36 The current time is sent by each sat every 6s. Aug 06 21:57:00 You can actually generate a position off this. Aug 06 21:57:02 yeah, so 6s is minumum time to get lock Aug 06 21:57:05 I thought GPS satellites all transmitted on a single frequency (well, one single frequency that civilians can use) Aug 06 21:57:15 It's less than 6s if you employ hax. Aug 06 21:57:23 ShadowJK: they sort-of-do, but not. Aug 06 21:57:27 like having local atomic clock Aug 06 21:57:37 jacekowski: even that's not correct (whole alm useless), you can fill in missing chunks from next pass Aug 06 21:57:42 They use maths trickery so that tehy all appear to be transmitting independantly. Aug 06 21:58:00 DocScrutinizer: yeah, but for calculations it's useless Aug 06 21:58:03 When you are looking for one satellite, the others appear as noise. Aug 06 21:58:18 DocScrutinizer: therefore you have to wait for other almanac to be transmitted Aug 06 21:58:24 http://www.colorado.edu/geography/gcraft/notes/gps/gps_f.html Aug 06 21:58:30 best introductory text I've found. Aug 06 21:58:37 ShadowJK: it's like cdma Aug 06 21:58:47 gps in principle isn't very complicated Aug 06 21:58:47 It's exactly CDMA Aug 06 21:58:48 wcdma Aug 06 21:58:55 you have satellites that send their time Aug 06 21:59:15 you measure difference between these times and calculate distances based on that Aug 06 22:00:22 but because satellites have to move Aug 06 22:00:35 that makes whole thing move Aug 06 22:00:49 so you have to calculate distance to satellite, and position of that satellite Aug 06 22:00:58 and also earth moves, and also earth's gravity curves space? Aug 06 22:01:28 yes, so what? Aug 06 22:01:34 well, i think more error is caused by instabilities in cheap gps chips clock Aug 06 22:01:43 than by earth's gravity Aug 06 22:01:48 hah. Aug 06 22:01:54 that's why you need alm and ephem for exact fix Aug 06 22:02:09 * ShadowJK thought atmosphere was a big factor Aug 06 22:02:15 exactly Aug 06 22:02:18 jacekowski: Error in the clock is not significant, though that is why you need 3 sats for a 2d position. Aug 06 22:02:29 exactly Aug 06 22:02:36 Ionosphere causes several-may meter errros Aug 06 22:02:46 many Aug 06 22:03:12 that's also what dgps is all about Aug 06 22:03:31 star navigation ftw Aug 06 22:03:43 while often people think agps would cope with these things Aug 06 22:03:48 I'm pondering that for n950/n9 Aug 06 22:03:53 (star navigation) Aug 06 22:04:12 for sun and mon it may work Aug 06 22:04:16 moon Aug 06 22:04:20 You can add to the position knowledge a bit by using the always open main camera to snap the sun/moon/planet positions. Aug 06 22:04:33 i can give you accurateish position using sextant faster than gps starting from cold Aug 06 22:04:39 doubt it will catch planets Aug 06 22:04:59 DocScrutinizer: Planets are as bright as the moon - if you can focus them. They're just smaller. Aug 06 22:05:01 DocScrutinizer: stacking Aug 06 22:05:10 Stars are - generally harder. Aug 06 22:05:12 hmm ok Aug 06 22:05:22 SpeedEvil: it's about distance as well Aug 06 22:05:37 but stacking could possibly work Aug 06 22:05:40 jacekowski: If you can resolve the disk, then they are as bright. Aug 06 22:05:58 Resolving the disk is impossible for some. Aug 06 22:06:04 so you turn on a bright light and suddently the error is increased to kilometers? :) Aug 06 22:06:28 * SpeedEvil drops a kalman filter on javispedro. Aug 06 22:16:17 hi javispedro btw Aug 06 22:19:13 btw if any of you wants to know details about how gps works . the best link ever, courtesy SpeedEvil: http://www.colorado.edu/geography/gcraft/notes/gps/gps_f.html Aug 06 22:24:33 what does maemo use for scheduling? i tried looking for cron, but it seems to not have this Aug 06 22:25:56 or do i just need to create the directory /var/spool/cron/crontabs ? Aug 06 22:27:43 jonne: take a look at "alarmed" Aug 06 22:28:09 hi DocScrutinizer Aug 06 22:29:18 crontab -e works if i create the folders, but it uses vi Aug 06 22:29:22 :/ Aug 06 22:29:33 will finally need to learn that then Aug 06 22:30:08 alarmed looks easier, thanks Aug 06 22:30:12 will try that Aug 06 22:30:56 i just need something to run the script that clears old map tiles from my phone Aug 06 22:31:03 jonne: set EDITOR Aug 06 22:31:13 export EDITOR=nano Aug 06 22:31:14 or whatever Aug 06 22:41:45 learning vi sound like a way better idea than exporting EDITOR. it might even come in handy later. Aug 06 22:44:29 i think i set cron correctly, now i'll just have to make sure it actually is Aug 06 22:49:42 jonne: alarmed has a GUI as well as a crontab alike cmdline interface Aug 06 22:50:48 i think everything's set correctly, and i've modified the script so it touches a file so i know when it was last run Aug 06 22:51:01 * DocScrutinizer likes the cmdline feature ;-D (and the fact it got implemented the way he suggested) Aug 06 22:51:39 yeah, but why install an extra app if the standard unix stuff can do it? Aug 06 22:51:58 because cron just doesn't really work Aug 06 22:52:07 btw, can you send notifications from script? Aug 06 22:52:13 wait, it doesn't? Aug 06 22:52:21 cron isn't built for a system that has zeroclock Aug 06 22:52:59 while alarmed even powers up your device when an alarm expires Aug 06 22:53:16 i don't need this Aug 06 22:53:39 i just want it to stop mappero from filling up my disk with tiles i'll only use once Aug 06 22:53:54 so i just delete all tiles that are older than a year Aug 06 22:54:10 well, you probably want the fact though that alarmd daemon doesn't hog battery, while cron doesn't care about the embedded idiosyncrasies of N900 Aug 06 22:54:26 but doesn't cron run anyway? Aug 06 22:54:30 no Aug 06 22:54:36 deginitely not Aug 06 22:54:37 hmm Aug 06 22:54:40 def* Aug 06 22:54:51 alarmd daemon runs anyway Aug 06 22:54:51 i'll switch to alarmed then Aug 06 22:55:31 and alarmed is a frontend for alarmd like crontab cmd is a frontend to crond Aug 06 22:55:43 oh, ok Aug 06 23:00:31 I actually suggested to create a crontab cmd that uses alarmed as backend, and to teach alarmed to use classical crontab files Aug 06 23:00:47 alas it didn't happen Aug 06 23:02:24 there's another pkg called fcron iirc, but also iirc it has quite a number of issues. I honestly recommend using alarmed for all purposes where you usually would think about editing crontab files Aug 06 23:03:25 ok, i've set it up Aug 06 23:03:49 you should like it Aug 06 23:04:07 if you don't, please tell Shapeshifter and me why :-) Aug 06 23:05:11 umm, how does one remove an event? Aug 06 23:06:18 i edited an event, and now i have 2 identical ones at different times Aug 06 23:06:28 and now it won't let me delete the old one Aug 06 23:07:20 err, I think there's a delete button in gui, and a --help option on shell cmdline. Only think I think is missing is a symlink: Aug 06 23:07:23 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 2011-06-20 15:53 /usr/bin/alarmed -> /opt/alarmed/alarmed.py Aug 06 23:07:41 wait, they got deleted, the gui just didn't update Aug 06 23:07:54 hmm, that's clearly a bug then. Pester shapeshifter about it please Aug 06 23:08:42 s/only think/only thing/ Aug 06 23:08:53 i'll see if i can do it again Aug 06 23:15:02 does Shapeshifter prefer proper bug reports or should i just whine about bugs on irc? Aug 06 23:18:42 try pinging him here, I dunno if he will prefer bug reports ;-) Aug 06 23:19:15 err, bugtracker tickets Aug 06 23:20:02 possibly not the best time to catch him right now Aug 06 23:20:09 ~seen Shapeshifter Aug 06 23:20:12 shapeshifter is currently on #maemo (3d 9h 6m 17s) #meego (3d 9h 6m 17s). Has said a total of 62 messages. Is idling for 4h 56m 17s, last said: 'they'll add tv and a phone for just 10 more but I never use that stuff'. Aug 06 23:21:20 Shapeshifter: ping Aug 06 23:23:11 jonne: TZ Europe ;-D Aug 06 23:23:45 I'm in Europe too, it's only 1am :p Aug 06 23:24:23 yeah, but maybe Shapeshifter is a lark rather than an owl Aug 06 23:25:22 almost 1:30... meh, time for pub ;-D Aug 06 23:27:33 i pmed him,, he can look at it whenever he wants Aug 06 23:27:47 should be straightforward to reproduce Aug 06 23:29:09 mention the version (aka the origin repo and time of install), as it seems he needs that. I think I mentioned that bug to him like 18 months ago, but I wasn't able to provide that info Aug 06 23:30:18 done Aug 06 23:34:57 for the uebercool -z option >> -z 'DATE', --date='DATE' Set the date using coreutils date syntax, for example 'now +5 minutes' Aug 06 23:34:59 you need to install coreutils, otherwise it doesn't work iirc Aug 06 23:36:01 messybox "don't need this" policy, you know Aug 07 00:07:18 oh my goodness. Aug 07 00:07:27 ? Aug 07 00:07:42 there's a guy in the n950 waiting list who has done a 8086->arm static recompiler that is enough to run at least one game Aug 07 00:07:51 came to offer some smalltalk before I die from boredom? Aug 07 00:07:53 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7UidW2tMtQ Aug 07 00:07:56 DocScrutinizer: yes Aug 07 00:08:30 incredible Aug 07 00:09:40 recompiler as in take x86 binary, cook in sulfuric acid with garlic, get working arm binary that may run on maemo?? Aug 07 00:09:57 that's my understanding of it. Aug 07 00:10:05 dang Aug 07 00:10:38 the rather large con is that it'll probably have very limited compatibility Aug 07 00:10:49 but I always wondered why nobody tried it. Aug 07 00:13:05 4 years old Aug 07 00:14:42 last thing I didn't really follow, on #harmattan, was they run native x86 binaries Aug 07 00:15:04 ? Aug 07 00:15:14 yeah, same here Aug 07 00:15:27 there's a guy around who runs qemu-user x86 in the n900 Aug 07 00:15:30 and n950 Aug 07 00:15:46 yeah, might been it Aug 07 00:15:46 but that is plain emulation Aug 07 00:16:02 static recompilation is where the money is today =) Aug 07 00:16:08 (obviously not :) ) Aug 07 00:16:26 but I'd like to try, I was trying to google if he published this stuff somewhere. Aug 07 00:18:17 javispedro: seen my comment about that FMRX mode register? I think it might need some initialization Aug 07 00:18:23 not yet Aug 07 00:18:37 err, posted the comment like 2 weeks ago Aug 07 00:18:51 uh, in the thread? Aug 07 00:18:56 sure Aug 07 00:19:01 stupid vbulletin didn't send me mail, then. Aug 07 00:19:12 not unusual Aug 07 00:19:45 ah Aug 07 00:19:51 when FMC says "no further mail will get sent until you visit..." they actually mean it Aug 07 00:19:51 seems that it is you who didn' read my comment :) Aug 07 00:20:03 http://forum.meego.com/showthread.php?t=3902 Aug 07 00:24:29 what do you think? Aug 07 00:24:39 I wish I had the ds Aug 07 00:24:43 master looks fishy, maybe Aug 07 00:25:22 I'd actually expect SoC wants to be master Aug 07 00:25:53 which also would explain the stalled data transmission aka missing clock pretty much Aug 07 00:27:08 sadly, seemingly no wait to change that from userspace Aug 07 00:27:10 *way Aug 07 00:28:09 oh man, the founder of gentoo "just got a touchpad" =) Aug 07 00:29:17 err, no way to change? how that? I thought there was some cmd in v4l2* to change that? Aug 07 00:30:08 you can change some parts of the bitfield Aug 07 00:30:14 rate, width Aug 07 00:30:47 javispedro: at very least you could check what mode the SoC (twl5031?) ISS is in, as I gather it's the same IF that's used for e.g BT headsets Aug 07 00:33:38 which btw is a debatable design, regarding ALSA. I'd feel better with dedicated mutually exclusive audiocards for BT A2DP, BT SCO, FMRX... Aug 07 00:33:57 such is life... Aug 07 00:34:08 no idea how to check that so far.. :P Aug 07 00:34:14 and each of those "audio cards" initializes the mode register and other stuff accordingly on pcm_open() Aug 07 00:35:50 yeah, sounds more reasonable Aug 07 00:35:53 how to check: well, probably find what's the audio card used for BT, then see what the source does. EEEW that's prolly PA again, not BT Aug 07 00:36:02 s/BT/ALSA/ Aug 07 00:36:02 DocScrutinizer meant: how to check: well, probably find what's the audio card used for ALSA, then see what the source does. EEEW that's prolly PA again, not BT Aug 07 00:36:18 grr, not this one, the other one Aug 07 00:37:09 isn't this bluez stuff built on PA? Aug 07 00:37:36 I did not study how BT audio works in Harmattan yet Aug 07 00:37:42 in fact, I've not even tested it yet. Aug 07 00:37:52 never looked into it, don't even know if it's bluez that gets used for harm Aug 07 00:37:59 yeah Aug 07 00:38:04 It's bluez. Aug 07 00:39:48 definitely I think that's the same McBSP3 IF Aug 07 00:40:18 BT_PCM(3:0) Aug 07 00:40:19 BTFM > Aug 07 00:40:21 BTFM module Aug 07 00:40:32 p.2 schem Aug 07 00:41:25 dang SPI4 directly above ->WLAN Aug 07 00:42:02 n900 schem?

Aug 07 00:42:35 N9 australia preorder price $645 :D going to try convince other for it Aug 07 00:43:07 jiero: You can order now?

Aug 07 00:43:49 Isn't FM_INT for RDS Aug 07 00:43:57 * SpeedEvil hasn't poked that bit Aug 07 00:44:30 quite possible, SpeedEvil Aug 07 00:44:45 jiero: I assume you know the SD card option is bogus? Aug 07 00:44:51 anyway I just was completely erratic Aug 07 00:44:54 I thought the n9 was 32, not 16. Aug 07 00:45:00 G Aug 07 00:45:03 n9 is either 16 or 64G Aug 07 00:45:12 Ah.

Aug 07 00:47:51 * DocScrutinizer wonders what to do with the mind piece Aug 07 00:48:10 Leather tanning. Aug 07 00:48:14 I think SpeedEvil is right and FM_INT is for RDS: Aug 07 00:48:20 s/:/./ Aug 07 00:48:20 javispedro meant: I think SpeedEvil is right and FM_INT is for RDS. Aug 07 00:51:38 speakerphone: no - LOL Aug 07 00:54:44 SpeedEvil: javispedro: (FM_INT) wild guess: signal getting weak, request to tune "me" to another alternative frequency as suggested by RDS Aug 07 00:55:50 voice traffic message starting - please stop mp3 playback and switch to radio audio Aug 07 00:56:06 na, just "pending rds stuff in fifo" Aug 07 00:56:07 things like that Aug 07 00:56:15 hmm, or that Aug 07 00:56:40 then you'd still send the above msgs via fifo Aug 07 00:56:41 :-) Aug 07 00:57:02 touché Aug 07 00:57:24 I do not see a similar interupt on the wl1273 though Aug 07 00:57:38 nah, you're right it's probably as general purpose as it gets Aug 07 00:58:11 supposed to get polled constantly? Aug 07 00:59:54 AIUI you always have several busses to/fro that multipurpose chip. Some of them may be able to trigger a IRQ Aug 07 01:00:08 ah, way, there's a line. Aug 07 01:00:10 *wait Aug 07 01:00:45 where do you see that line? on that marketing paper crap? Aug 07 01:00:51 no, I'm reading driver Aug 07 01:00:56 AAAH Aug 07 01:00:58 sadly there's no mxr I could link you to.. Aug 07 01:01:11 either way I just gazed at wl1273-core.c:735 Aug 07 01:01:22 way, I'll pastebin it. Aug 07 01:01:58 http://pastebin.com/4W7YqNTa Aug 07 01:02:30 on line 735 is the service routine Aug 07 01:04:17 will take a while, I'm actually *reading* it, got to line 50 now Aug 07 01:04:19 ;-D Aug 07 01:04:22 my brain's autocompleter seems to have decided to write way instead of wait and wait instead of way today. Aug 07 01:04:51 * javispedro hits his own head a few times to trigger reset Aug 07 01:05:43 WTF WL1273_POWER_SET_RETENTION ? Aug 07 01:06:10 btw the driver is rather large Aug 07 01:06:14 that's just the "common" part Aug 07 01:06:25 yeah, agther that Aug 07 01:06:27 there's stuff in alsa (for codec), v4l, ... Aug 07 01:07:08 and also it's a driver written by "Nokia" which is kinda strange regarding they don't officially support FM Aug 07 01:08:32 this is the only reason I spend time on it Aug 07 01:08:47 otherwise I'd say " it's broken and aegis won't let me replace it" Aug 07 01:09:03 nokia made it probably means it has been tested on n950... Aug 07 01:14:26 check amixer for mode setting Aug 07 01:15:17 I bet you should set this bit (literally bit) right *prior* to opening the McBSP audiocard Aug 07 01:15:49 yeah, I do that. Aug 07 01:15:58 data transfer won't start automagically when you open the audio card and *then* twiddle with the master/slave setting Aug 07 01:16:00 however I think the order in which I set the individual controls is important Aug 07 01:20:59 Hi, is there a way use N900 as bluetooth Speaker? instead of streaming? Aug 07 01:22:50 is there any file size limit for ./MyDocs dir? Aug 07 01:23:05 Juozapas: fat32 one Aug 07 01:23:11 around 2 GiB. Aug 07 01:24:16 so that can be the reason why rtorrent close connect...(?) Aug 07 01:24:26 connection* Aug 07 01:24:56 no idea. Aug 07 01:25:07 size limit 2GB, seen it more than once Aug 07 01:25:08 um. I do prefer having a 10GB rootfs... my laptop use 50GB for /, 200GB for /home Aug 07 01:25:59 so solution is convert it to ext3? Aug 07 01:26:42 do you really need a file more than 2GB? Aug 07 01:31:02 good q :) Aug 07 01:31:06 javispedro: anyway, line 770 for signal Aug 07 01:32:24 826 awesome Aug 07 01:32:52 it's nice to see that even if you have the official docs you're still hungry. Aug 07 01:34:18 823 stinks Aug 07 01:40:23 hm... another onenand_wait: correctable ECC error = 0x0100, addr1 0x4, addr8 0xac Aug 07 01:43:41 there's that dmesg error in fm driver also Aug 07 01:43:49 wl1273_fm_write_cmd: Cmd: 102 fails Aug 07 01:44:45 but that happens just in line 598 Aug 07 01:44:54 a comment there says: " /* ignore possible error here */" Aug 07 01:44:58 so I guess I should. Aug 07 01:46:50 reading RDS is easy btw: cat /dev/radio0 Aug 07 01:46:59 of course it is encoded so not human readable. Aug 07 01:52:55 javispedro: I wonder what suspend in FMRX mode might mean. (line 1195) Aug 07 01:53:44 I can enter it freely Aug 07 01:53:54 RDS empties Aug 07 01:54:21 loses currently tuned freq Aug 07 01:55:23 [32499.014923] wl1273-fm 3-0022: wl1273_fm_read_reg: Read: 55 fails.

Aug 07 02:14:39 MUHAHA Aug 07 02:14:57 a true universal sw Aug 07 02:15:56 meh, this sucks without schematics Aug 07 02:16:07 It would be quite fun if that actually workerd. Aug 07 02:16:31 really, RE'ing schematics from driver source is so OMFG *headdesk* Aug 07 02:17:07 seemingly bootloader passes in the machine type Aug 07 02:17:10 n9 service manual leaked only I think. Aug 07 02:17:14 RE'ing datasheets from sore even worse Aug 07 02:18:49 this is absurd Aug 07 02:18:58 even when chip is Off arecord does the same Aug 07 02:19:08 must be something stupid Aug 07 02:19:37 shall I do the sciphone with N950? http://en.qi-hardware.com/wiki/Sciphone_Dream_G2#PCB_layers Aug 07 02:19:41 :-P Aug 07 02:27:43 javispedro: I think the wl shall be in slave mode, not master? Aug 07 02:27:57 as said I cannot change that Aug 07 02:28:05 if that's the case -- then it's as good as broken. Aug 07 02:28:09 or we need to set the "audio card" aka McBSP to slave mode Aug 07 02:29:38 try different sequences like swapping order of setting up and starting wl, and starting audiocard Aug 07 02:32:31 actually when in master mode the wl should start anyway, aiui. I just has a clock line, a data line with (usually) 32 databits in sync with clock, and a "start bit" line that tags the first bit of a 32 bit frame Aug 07 02:32:58 all 3 are output, and the data input will most likely get ignored Aug 07 02:34:40 wl1273 is on mcbsp4 Aug 07 02:34:52 configured as MCBSP_CLKACT_IOFF_FON Aug 07 02:34:56 hmm, how does that help? Aug 07 02:35:18 trying to understand.. Aug 07 02:35:21 whatever that means Aug 07 02:35:59 clock active??? as slave? Input(?)OFF? FrameON? Aug 07 02:36:30 need a peek to SoC DS Aug 07 02:36:32 :-/ Aug 07 02:36:53 na, slave Aug 07 02:36:58 it is set to slave Aug 07 02:37:03 SND_SOC_DAIFMT_CBM_CFM Aug 07 02:37:04 AHAAA Aug 07 02:37:24 this means "slave" seemingly Aug 07 02:37:33 according to omap-mcbsp.c:603 Aug 07 02:38:39 ( http://pastebin.com/gPCK4MkN ) Aug 07 02:39:59 and dfl61-wl1273.c:46 ( http://pastebin.com/2b1x7MqS ) configures it that way. Aug 07 02:40:20 hm Aug 07 02:41:53 I ponder how often is snd_soc_ops->startup called Aug 07 02:43:03 but look at 551 .. 589 pfooooh Aug 07 02:43:26 of omap-mcbsp Aug 07 02:43:51 SND_SOC_DAIFMT_I2S | SND_SOC_DAIFMT_NB_NF | SND_SOC_DAIFMT_CBM_CFM is the fmt when in fmrx mode Aug 07 02:52:06 hum Aug 07 02:52:29 wl1273_fm_radio wl1273_fm_radio: INT_MASK: 0x0000 Aug 07 02:54:04 something weird there, I do not see where it clears the int_mask. Aug 07 02:54:18 also a stupid thing to do.. Aug 07 02:56:47 I think it's pretty much an insult to throw those drivers over the wall without any example code to test them, without any readme how to use them... Aug 07 02:58:04 an evil Aug 07 02:58:06 *and Aug 07 02:59:20 yeah, then set it to analog default and do not mention if it's conected at all via analog, and if so then to which analog input of mixer **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sun Aug 07 02:59:56 2011
