Oct 30 07:48:26 mohamadag: morning? Oct 30 08:19:53 yeah. think i will get an e7 Oct 30 08:19:57 heh Oct 30 08:20:17 as long as the usb port doesnt fall out im happy Oct 30 08:20:30 :) Oct 30 08:20:34 gfy Oct 30 08:20:57 psycho_oreos: heh... i still have a n900 otw Oct 30 08:21:03 wish i could clone my sim Oct 30 08:21:29 so i wouldnt have to swap it Oct 30 08:21:57 but the e7 looks good.. symbian isnt a bad os... just not as hipster as ios or android Oct 30 08:23:10 i was going to see if a duracell mygrid power clip fit the n900 Oct 30 08:23:24 that way i never have to touch the usb port Oct 30 08:23:42 bonus points if it fits over a silicon skin :) Oct 30 08:24:27 * psycho_oreos is evilishly thinking that someone should really indicate the reference to e7 is ot Oct 30 08:26:59 ot? Oct 30 08:30:24 offtopic Oct 30 10:04:12 Psi, indeed :) http://i.japh.se/_photo/n900_surv.jpg Oct 30 10:53:02 i want to use my n900 as a usb router but something is strange. if the gprs0 is working (connected via umts to the inet) usb0 seems to fail because i cant ping the local ip assigned to usb0 from a shell on my n900 (as root) but i can ping my laptop. my laptop cant ping the n900 no matter what i do Oct 30 10:53:35 please give me a hint because right now it seems like a bug to me Oct 30 10:56:13 http://wiki.maemo.org/N900_USB_router Oct 30 10:56:16 iptables? Oct 30 10:56:25 this is the guide iam using Oct 30 10:56:52 i checked iptables -L and also -t nat but nothing was set Oct 30 10:57:11 so this cant disable the ping Oct 30 10:58:28 dm8tbr: any other idea? Oct 30 10:58:38 maybe a missing route? Oct 30 10:59:13 no idea, never done this. was just a random thought Oct 30 10:59:16 i also removed all routes once and still it would not enable ping from lap to n900 Oct 30 10:59:27 if i disable the inet connection the ping works Oct 30 11:00:37 but why cant i ping the ip of usb0 from the n900??? Oct 30 11:01:21 is there a firmware/routing prevention in maemo??!! Oct 30 11:01:42 icd is the closed-source routing daemon that sets up and tears down connections. Oct 30 11:02:29 Is there a reason you're not just using modem mode? Oct 30 11:02:58 does that work with linux? Oct 30 11:03:02 yes Oct 30 11:04:04 where is a guide to that? Oct 30 11:06:37 thanks anyway Oct 30 11:41:55 sorry, a newbie question, if the FM function is ready on n900, or I have to install app to let n900 support it? Oct 30 11:43:22 you need to install fmradio to use the receiver Oct 30 11:43:31 Hi! Is it possible to detect from the build system (let it cmake for instance) whether or not I am on Fremantle/Diablo and other variants ? Oct 30 11:44:39 SpeedEvil: thank you for answer :) Oct 30 11:47:59 Use the 'C' FMradio, not the python one. Oct 30 11:48:04 The python one is hope.ss. Oct 30 11:48:04 will maemo be happy if an user password is set? Oct 30 11:48:16 Yes, you can set a user password. Oct 30 11:48:24 It doesn't affect normal use. Oct 30 11:48:28 interesting Oct 30 11:48:38 how does maemo log in then? :D Oct 30 11:48:54 ssh Oct 30 11:48:59 It doesn't really Oct 30 11:49:02 :) Oct 30 11:49:04 lol Oct 30 12:02:09 ~seen MohammadAG Oct 30 12:02:17 mohammadag <~MohammadA@Maemo/community/contributor/MohammadAG> was last seen on IRC in channel #maemo, 22h 7m 33s ago, saying: 'I can't remember who, but a grep for red / bezeqint will help'. Oct 30 12:03:53 ok, I guess I may need to buy the N9 in bruselss this feb Oct 30 12:20:07 Hm, can I modigy the img installer to use my SD card (yes, all of it, i.e. repartitioning it)? Oct 30 12:20:42 which installer, easy debian? Oct 30 12:22:42 yes Oct 30 12:22:46 you need to make sure maemo doesnt care about the first partition not being FAT32 Oct 30 12:22:54 oh, sorry for me being unspecific Oct 30 12:23:28 I'm sure maemo will blame me for the SD card format being unsupported Oct 30 12:23:38 at least it did before when I tried out meego Oct 30 12:24:25 check maewiki: ext2 on microsdcard Oct 30 12:24:41 arrrgh, swkbd is annoying Oct 30 12:25:36 once you get maemo to stop complaining, add mmc1 to tracker's no index directory Oct 30 12:26:11 I've already turned the tracker off completly for various reasons Oct 30 12:26:16 then edit .chroot to point to /dev/mmcblk1p1 Oct 30 12:26:33 hmm Oct 30 12:26:43 so let's see here Oct 30 12:28:17 I can install the img file, then dd it to /dev/mmcblk1p1, then do what you said? Oct 30 12:28:27 yup Oct 30 12:28:51 ugh. honeycomb's task switcher is confusing. Oct 30 12:29:06 Hm, but what about if I want to use all the space in the card?? Oct 30 12:29:18 Make an ext2fs manually and just cp -r everything? Oct 30 12:29:19 dd it to mmcblk1 Oct 30 12:29:24 would that work? Oct 30 12:29:30 Hmm Oct 30 12:29:37 it's a blkdev anyways Oct 30 12:29:47 not like linux would care Oct 30 12:30:04 s/??/?/ Oct 30 12:30:07 just remove mmc1 from genfstab Oct 30 12:30:34 http://theunderstatement.com/post/11982112928/android-orphans-visualizing-a-sad-history-of-support Oct 30 12:30:52 dd if=ezdeb.ext2.img of=/dev/mmcblk1 Oct 30 12:34:09 @macer not like they care once the money's changed hands, really Oct 30 12:34:27 also, not like they're obligated to Oct 30 12:34:51 that's why it's handy to have an unlocked bootloader Oct 30 12:35:12 the corps dont really give a rat's ass about support Oct 30 12:35:30 same is true for almost every other hw manufacturer Oct 30 12:36:01 brb switching to desktop Oct 30 12:41:24 heh Oct 30 12:41:52 at least n900 owners can say they have the latest maemo? Oct 30 12:41:54 :) Oct 30 12:46:07 :P Oct 30 12:52:25 Macer, latest and last ;) Oct 30 13:00:16 Hurrian: tbh I'd mostly expect it to be a matter of whichever party deals with end-users, being risk-averse Oct 30 13:00:53 and minimizing supported configurations Oct 30 13:07:24 so I'd wager on portfolio breadth, and the number/influence of timid business layers between makers and users Oct 30 13:09:54 a certain produce-oriented outfit compared to in the article has taken the approach of apparently minimizing both, so being able to dtrt is not so surprising Oct 30 13:10:07 with android I don't suppose it works out that way ;) Oct 30 13:55:17 Macer: I'd hope Maemo users know to not trust Nokia by now :P Oct 30 13:55:36 Maemo 5 failed to ever deliver on even the basic features, thanks to Nokia Oct 30 13:56:02 eg, 720p video recording (or even any usable video recording really), automatic GPS updates to IM status, etc Oct 30 13:57:15 i thought the video recording was ok Oct 30 13:57:29 and GPS updates worked fine for me Oct 30 13:57:36 me too Oct 30 13:57:58 MohammadAG: they die as soon as you lose connectivity, until you reboot Oct 30 13:58:07 video recording drops frames like crazy Oct 30 13:58:14 often for whole seconds Oct 30 13:58:24 Disable tracker, solve problem! Oct 30 13:58:26 i honestly never had a problem with the video recording Oct 30 13:58:26 both of these bugs were closed WONTFIX by Nokia Oct 30 13:58:32 i used it often Oct 30 13:58:33 robbiethe1st: I haven't had tracker enabled in years Oct 30 13:58:40 Then OC the damned thing? Oct 30 13:58:43 no Oct 30 13:58:47 most bugs were WONTFIX Oct 30 13:58:50 it's already OC'd too much Oct 30 13:58:57 I'm running mine at 1ghz+; works fine for me. Oct 30 13:58:59 WONTFIX = acknowledged it Oct 30 13:59:02 WONTFIX = acknowledged it's broken Oct 30 13:59:09 robbiethe1st: until it dies an early death Oct 30 13:59:26 or that they believe it works how it is supposed to work Oct 30 13:59:33 Macer: nope Oct 30 13:59:44 my im gps updated just fine Oct 30 13:59:46 and since it'll probably be 3 years until someone comes out with a replacement device, I need N900 to last that long Oct 30 13:59:48 My first one lasted over a year at that; until the USB port broke. If it dies early, /SO?? Oct 30 13:59:55 Just pick up a spare. Oct 30 13:59:57 and my video recorded just fine as well Oct 30 13:59:58 robbiethe1st: so you can't get a spare anymore Oct 30 14:00:06 I just did, off ebay. Oct 30 14:00:13 There's plenty of them around. Oct 30 14:00:18 also, that costs $ Oct 30 14:00:23 i did too Oct 30 14:00:25 Macer: nope, "believe it works like should" is INVALID, not WONTFIX Oct 30 14:00:27 I don't want to waste $ on a defective product Oct 30 14:00:30 255 on ebay Oct 30 14:00:36 DocScrutinizer: ah ok Oct 30 14:00:53 so WONTFIX = DONTCARE Oct 30 14:01:05 I just hope some Android phone is rootable to the point I can flash a vanilla Linux on it Oct 30 14:01:07 :/ Oct 30 14:01:10 luke-jr: i just ordered a new one Oct 30 14:01:17 honesttly... i want an e7 :) Oct 30 14:01:18 Macer: WONTFIX = it's broken, but we won't take 5 minutes to fix it Oct 30 14:01:20 heh Oct 30 14:01:41 was it a closed section of maemo? Oct 30 14:02:26 but i loved my n900 Oct 30 14:02:37 but alas.. my usb port broke as well Oct 30 14:03:02 this time i am just using a duracell mygrid microusb power clip and never touching the usb port lol Oct 30 14:03:40 how to flash w/o USB? :P Oct 30 14:03:45 but the e7 actually looks pretty nice for a symbian device Oct 30 14:03:51 cheap too Oct 30 14:03:54 I just hope some Android phone is rootable to the point I can flash a vanilla Linux on it Oct 30 14:03:54 :/ Oct 30 14:03:58 Personally, I'm being careful with my new one until I can pull it apart and solder the top of the port to the surrounding metal framework. Oct 30 14:04:11 coouldn't you flash some old WP6.5 phones with pretty much whatever you wanted? Oct 30 14:04:17 Also, flashing without USB? we have BM and USB testpoints for a reason. Oct 30 14:04:32 IIRC someone flashed ubuntu mobile onto an Xperia X1 Oct 30 14:04:37 Macer: pretty sure that Duracell thing won't work on N900 Oct 30 14:04:44 (yes, old, i know, but still, there's possibilities :P) Oct 30 14:04:46 Macer: looks like it blocks against the lens Oct 30 14:04:53 FIQ: old = old Oct 30 14:05:06 my point is, it works, on some devices Oct 30 14:05:24 wouldn't be suprised if you could do this to pretty new devices as well Oct 30 14:05:34 the hard part is the DRM crap Oct 30 14:05:39 and they conveniently ignore the GPL Oct 30 14:06:10 anyhow, bbl Oct 30 14:06:14 HI, i need bzip2 package http://maemo.org/packages/view/bzip2/ on my N900 device, maemo pr1.3 , it is on "Fremantle SDK free i386" repository , how should i add this to my catalogues? i mean web address , distribution and components?

Oct 30 14:10:28 the pkgs from i386 repo usually run umm... suboptimal on N900 Oct 30 14:10:53 then should i try with this one ? > Maemo 5 device SSU repository (>= PR1.2) Oct 30 14:10:58 lol, I didn't even realise that i386 wouldn't work at all :P Oct 30 14:11:12 but what i told still stands - don't don't don't DON'T do it Oct 30 14:11:26 i just need that package , Oct 30 14:11:37 ok maour, look Oct 30 14:11:50 1: N900 can't run i386 packages, it's an armel device Oct 30 14:12:13 2: I'm sure you can manage bzip packages with packages in the "normal" repositories Oct 30 14:12:26 but i'm not an package database :p Oct 30 14:12:29 I got bzip2 on my N900, quite likely from some pkg like e.g binutils or dunno what Oct 30 14:12:34 yeah Oct 30 14:13:52 doesn't even busybox come with bzip2?

Fremantle Extras-devel free armel Oct 30 14:19:14 which was enough of good reason for me to not replace it Oct 30 14:19:27 again rgarding initscripts Oct 30 14:19:30 components? which i have free and non-free on my catalogues Oct 30 14:20:01 err yup Oct 30 14:20:06 it seems there isn't any entry named armel ! Oct 30 14:20:26 huh?

Oct 30 14:21:49 to install android on my device Oct 30 14:21:52 n900 Oct 30 14:21:54 don't expect it to be your main OS of use Oct 30 14:21:56 yeah, no support available from me for nitdroid Oct 30 14:22:06 sure Oct 30 14:22:17 i just want to test my Qt apps on android :) Oct 30 14:22:20 it's slow, slow and er, did i forgot.. slow! Oct 30 14:22:33 better than buying an android device Oct 30 14:22:40 and multiboot is so.... *beeep* Oct 30 14:22:51 i have meego right now Oct 30 14:22:53 dual boot Oct 30 14:22:55 maour: use the emulator Oct 30 14:23:01 in android SDK Oct 30 14:23:12 They still not fixed nitdroid to use uboot yet? Oct 30 14:23:18 it's slow, but better than NITDroid Oct 30 14:23:33 what's wrong with multiboot? Oct 30 14:23:39 not that i use any of them, just wondering :P Oct 30 14:23:42 maour: meego dualboot is sth completely different than multiboot used by nitdridiot Oct 30 14:24:11 ~maemo-multiboot Oct 30 14:24:11 i heard maemo-multiboot is deprecated, and a horrible hack. PROBLEMS WITH NITDROID/MULTIBOOT? reflash rootfs&kernel aka COMBINED Oct 30 14:24:14 let's get GRUB on the device! Oct 30 14:24:38 we got u-boot on the device Oct 30 14:25:12 grub is not exactly suited for the arm NAND boot architecture Oct 30 14:25:20 :p Oct 30 14:25:23 i was joking Oct 30 14:25:27 and u-boot is what meego uses Oct 30 14:25:47 speaking of u-boot, how does it store boot priority? Oct 30 14:25:56 while multiboot is **falshing a new kernel** :-O on each boot Oct 30 14:26:10 sounds... wrong Oct 30 14:26:45 i was pretty tired of it having MeeGo as default choose (probably due to it looking in the SD card after something bootable before looking /boot in the NAND, but i didn't have any idea of how to change it Oct 30 14:27:14 of course you could cancel the timer and do "run noloboot" Oct 30 14:27:40 but being able to change the defaults would make me more happy to keep u-boot and meego :p Oct 30 14:27:44 it's looking to uSD and there for a special file named /boot/bootmenu or whatever, and if that file esists it will read it and use the settings in there afaik Oct 30 14:28:41 even some nice menu like the one GRUB uses would be fine for me Oct 30 14:28:49 whatever Oct 30 14:29:10 check that file Oct 30 14:29:22 afaik you can have menu Oct 30 14:30:08 if only I can find my DS... Oct 30 14:30:28 (what, don't you like my way of storing my SD card somewhere outside n900?) Oct 30 14:35:53 DocScrutinizer, know much about ad-hoc networking and the N900? http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=1115948#post1115948 Oct 30 14:36:49 not really Oct 30 14:38:31 hm Oct 30 14:39:57 robbiethe1st: esp since I read sth about that redmond borne virus there in this post Oct 30 14:40:22 heh Oct 30 14:40:49 See, that's my problem if nothing else is. But I can't change that computer /too/ much, as it's not technically mine...

Removing the file in /var/spool/sms/outgoing and the Oct 30 15:09:07 entry from regs_out.txt is safe, but make a backup just in case.<< Oct 30 15:09:42 ok Oct 30 15:10:41 and... you may want to go to flight mode to accomplish this task :-D Oct 30 15:11:00 yeah, i just skip pin code Oct 30 15:11:05 so no connection to operator Oct 30 15:11:09 then reboot after you removed the cruft Oct 30 15:11:13 k Oct 30 15:11:48 bash your operator for sending back an inappropriate NAK msg Oct 30 15:12:59 there've been cases where here in Germany some guys had a 50k of SMs on their bill, due to that Oct 30 15:13:30 omg Oct 30 15:13:39 how can I avoid that ? Oct 30 15:13:48 blame your operator Oct 30 15:14:20 or maybe blame Nokia, if you're really the first one to run into a bug in maemo-SMS stack Oct 30 15:14:38 I honestly doubt that's a bug in Maemo Oct 30 15:14:50 I might test eventually Oct 30 15:15:40 for sure your SMS dispatcher shall stop NAKing same msg after a certain timeout Oct 30 15:15:54 ok, i removed entry from regs_out.txt and and moved /var/spool/sms/outgoing Oct 30 15:16:04 but I think they send an outright wrong response code Oct 30 15:16:31 err, don't mopve the whole dir, just the content Oct 30 15:16:42 but it's stupid that they take money even if the number is wrong Oct 30 15:17:16 yes, there are a number of stupidities in that, none of which they can keep up on court Oct 30 15:18:07 if they take money, they must not NAK, as evidently a SMS that costs money is a valid SMS Oct 30 15:18:20 yeap Oct 30 15:18:27 NAK is only when transmission TO them failed Oct 30 15:18:46 meaning "please resend, couldn't read you" Oct 30 15:19:18 and even this MUST stop after max say 100 tries Oct 30 15:19:36 ok, looks like it helped Oct 30 15:19:42 good Oct 30 15:20:04 now have a nice phonecall to some hotline for a but of shouting Oct 30 15:20:09 bit* Oct 30 15:20:15 ;]] Oct 30 15:21:47 fuck Oct 30 15:22:13 looks like i moved all dir /var/spool/sms/outgoing Oct 30 15:22:34 mkdir /var/spool/sms/outgoing Oct 30 15:23:09 IroN900:~# ls -ld /var/spool/sms/outgoing Oct 30 15:23:10 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 160 2011-10-29 00:48 /var/spool/sms/outgoing Oct 30 15:24:52 root; mkdir /var/spool/sms/outgoing; chmod 755 /var/spool/sms/outgoing Oct 30 15:25:14 yeah thx Oct 30 15:25:30 it already in right permissions Oct 30 15:25:37 i dont need to make chmod Oct 30 15:25:37 :-) Oct 30 15:33:13 I buyed my phone march 2009, I don't know exactly what warranty I got, but say it lasted 1½ year. Then, it breaks (yay microUSB port problem) and I got a brand new N900. What happens with the warranty then? I guess it still counts from my first N900, or would it renew itself? Oct 30 15:33:26 I guess it's the first, but I don't know how warranties work :D Oct 30 15:33:34 It's the first Oct 30 15:33:42 Yeah, like i thought then Oct 30 15:33:52 Nokia now has my n900. Oct 30 15:34:10 (USB fell off, touchscreen died, 2g modem was dodgy. Oct 30 15:34:34 Heh Oct 30 15:34:45 The USB fallin goff was my fault. Oct 30 15:34:51 And I would not have returned it for that. Oct 30 15:36:34 hm, so you have no N900 now? Oct 30 15:36:41 I have a backup one. Oct 30 15:36:48 ok Oct 30 15:37:48 If I don't manage to get a n9 from my watranty repair - which I doubt - I'll probably uif I can't get a repaired n900, be doing the sell on ebay + buy new thing. Oct 30 15:41:51 DocScrutinizer: is it normal that i still have entry in regs_out.txt? Oct 30 15:42:17 well, I have an entry in this file, yes Oct 30 15:42:26 k, thx Oct 30 15:45:35 friggin winter time :-/ Oct 30 15:47:46 * SpeedEvil breaths out, and does not quite see frost. Oct 30 15:47:53 This means it's >10.5C or so. Oct 30 16:07:15 but it's going dark here while we have 17:00 Oct 30 16:08:04 10.5°C at my window :-D Oct 30 16:08:26 to the digit Oct 30 16:08:33 decimal Oct 30 17:00:08 Hello, I'm trying to stream from my n900s cam to my computer using this little gstreamer script http://pastie.org/2783489 but I only recive very dark images, any ideas what might be wrong? Oct 30 17:02:20 bad lighting? Oct 30 17:02:34 lid closed? ;) Oct 30 17:02:45 hehe Oct 30 17:04:59 dm8tbr: I'm using the front cam to test atm, and I can see my rooms light Oct 30 17:05:16 dm8tbr: same issue with the front cam and an open lid Oct 30 17:11:05 okay I've just used a xvidimagesink to debug the issue Oct 30 17:11:30 and it looks like the signal I get from the v4l2src is bad to begin with Oct 30 17:12:28 you should use v4l2camsrc Oct 30 17:12:51 and it is xvimagesink Oct 30 17:13:17 freemangordon: yes that was a typo :) Oct 30 17:13:37 freemangordon: but I did type it correctly in the shell, I'll check the v4l2camsrc Oct 30 17:13:42 but you camerasource is incorrect Oct 30 17:13:43 ok Oct 30 17:15:10 same issue with v4l2camsrc Oct 30 19:11:59 FYI, modRana V0.29 is out, go get it from Extras-devel while it's hot! :) Oct 30 19:12:37 what is modRana? Oct 30 19:12:49 why would I want it? Oct 30 19:12:57 and why do I want it without knowing what it is?! Oct 30 19:13:08 need some kind of silent alarm Oct 30 19:13:41 if an alarm is silent, how are you supposed to hear it? Oct 30 19:14:05 good point :-D Oct 30 19:14:23 viral marketing :) Oct 30 19:14:33 well Oct 30 19:14:37 modRana is a GPS navigation system Oct 30 19:14:43 MohammadAG: dunno what you're after, but I guess alarmed can do it no matter what Oct 30 19:14:51 could extra-devel be responsible for breaking my gstreamer-tools? Oct 30 19:15:01 always Oct 30 19:15:27 no, actually *I* ate them Oct 30 19:15:50 M4rtinK: online or offline? Oct 30 19:15:53 KaffeeJunky123, Vibra or something Oct 30 19:16:00 it does online routing, voice navigation, online address/POI/Wikipedia search, map overlay support, efficient tile storage, POI database, track logging, etc. :) Oct 30 19:16:05 I need a way to wake up early without waking up my roommates Oct 30 19:16:26 KaffeeJunky123: routing is currently online through Google Directions Oct 30 19:16:50 M4rtinK: do you plan to add support for local routing daemons? Oct 30 19:17:05 there's one for maemo, I can't remember the name though Oct 30 19:17:26 yep, offline routing using Monav (already used by Marble) is a work in progress :) Oct 30 19:18:17 marble has a funky interface though Oct 30 19:18:36 entering routing points is a pain Oct 30 19:18:50 maybe because it's global routing by default :P Oct 30 19:18:58 MohammadAG: alarmed -t mon:07:30 -E "dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=com.nokia.mce /com/nokia/mce/request com.nokia.mce.request.req_vibrator_pattern_activate string:PatternIncomingCall" Oct 30 19:20:00 yeah, IMO its interface is a bit too complicated for what it does Oct 30 19:20:55 and it doesn't offer a proper touch interface Oct 30 19:21:06 so you can't use it for serious in car navigation Oct 30 19:21:40 but I really like how it handles the routing data for Monav - they have it hosted on a server somewhere and the user just selects a which country to download and everything is handled automatically Oct 30 19:21:57 that's why i bought an iPod Oct 30 19:22:16 I really want waze on the N9/50 Oct 30 19:22:36 KaffeeJunky123: well, then check out the modRana interface and tell ma what you think about it :) Oct 30 19:22:47 learn to find your way without navi! ;-P Oct 30 19:23:02 will come in handy on next mega solar storm Oct 30 19:23:51 DocScrutinizer: I only use navigation in towns that I don't have a map of and it pretty much does its job there Oct 30 19:24:07 plus you even have a way to contact chicks and ask for the way ;-P Oct 30 19:24:08 I don't like driving with turn by turn navigation at all Oct 30 19:24:39 Yeah, ride the family car and hook up with some chicks, that's a nice plan Oct 30 19:24:47 i like knowing where there's a speed trap Oct 30 19:24:57 I'm responsible and all, but being a new driver my foot might slip a bit more on the gas Oct 30 19:24:59 I just keep with the limits Oct 30 19:25:17 they're mostly sane in germany though Oct 30 19:25:31 KaffeeJunky123, 70 on a 5 lane road is sad Oct 30 19:25:37 kmph, not miles Oct 30 19:25:38 KaffeeJunky123: so teach your kids to do it ;-) Oct 30 19:25:43 so I go 140 there Oct 30 19:25:53 what the Oct 30 19:26:06 one asking for the way, the other one lifting the purse meanwhile Oct 30 19:26:08 are you talking about straight 5 lane roads? Oct 30 19:26:45 god I love german motor ways, especially those without speed limit Oct 30 19:26:47 mph? Oct 30 19:26:55 KaffeeJunky123: have you ever been there? Oct 30 19:27:01 Israel, land of the living pedestrian's nightmare Oct 30 19:27:07 jacekowski: where? Oct 30 19:27:24 other folks got pavements, Israel got highways to each door Oct 30 19:27:29 in germany Oct 30 19:27:40 no, I only live there Oct 30 19:27:45 :o Oct 30 19:27:51 well, i've had a chance to see those motorways Oct 30 19:28:03 it's nice untill some moron drives too fast and has an accident Oct 30 19:28:10 and blocks motorway for few hours Oct 30 19:28:19 or somebody changes lane in front of you Oct 30 19:28:22 oh well that happens Oct 30 19:28:33 you have to learn to deal with that Oct 30 19:28:45 DocScrutinizer, pedestrians don't belong on such roads :p Oct 30 19:28:45 and there are no pedestrians on it Oct 30 19:28:58 accidentsa completely blocking highways are actually rather rarae Oct 30 19:29:01 rare Oct 30 19:29:04 I got up to 200kmph once Oct 30 19:29:12 I once almost had an accident because of a truck switching lanes without looking Oct 30 19:29:19 Blocking motorways technically - no. Oct 30 19:29:34 and a tard in an SUV was driving on the lane left to me Oct 30 19:29:37 Blocking motorways due to the cleanup needing to close the road for safety is fairly common Oct 30 19:30:08 Car speedometer has 260 as max Oct 30 19:30:12 and that idiot managed to lock me in for quite some time Oct 30 19:30:17 and for the idiot before you suddenly changing to left lane, you have to either go slower, or stop living, or learn to anticipate that Oct 30 19:30:23 I was ofc breaking to lower my speed Oct 30 19:30:34 and that dude left to me hit his break too <_< Oct 30 19:30:53 so I almost got squeezed in between an SUV and a truck Oct 30 19:31:07 people can be retarded Oct 30 19:31:12 gladly the SUV driver found his gas again soon enough Oct 30 19:31:23 was on an 80kmph road once driving normally Oct 30 19:31:30 and the car in front of brakes and stops Oct 30 19:31:30 had to hump him off his lane though Oct 30 19:31:45 so I fully pressed the brake and turned right Oct 30 19:31:54 hit my mirror on his car Oct 30 19:32:09 well Oct 30 19:32:15 luckily, both were white, so meh Oct 30 19:32:19 you normally should be able to break in time Oct 30 19:32:31 not when he stops out of nowhere Oct 30 19:32:32 or were his breaklights broken? Oct 30 19:32:44 KaffeeJunky123, it's like a highway Oct 30 19:32:50 you don't stop on a highway Oct 30 19:33:01 usually you don't Oct 30 19:33:12 oh yeah, speaking of broken lights Oct 30 19:33:13 was driving on a dark road yesterday Oct 30 19:33:22 haha Oct 30 19:33:42 I can imagine your story :o Oct 30 19:34:08 omg I always turn every channel into ot talk sorry guys Oct 30 19:34:23 I bet Israel is one of the insane countries that have lights all the way down each motorway Oct 30 19:34:28 Well - you're not interrupting the vibrant flow of dev-chat. Oct 30 19:34:45 Well - israel is about four miles across. Oct 30 19:35:02 lol, east-west yes Oct 30 19:36:31 and there was a car with NO lights Oct 30 19:36:31 almost hit it, its paint was matte Oct 30 19:36:31 light didn't reflect off of it Oct 30 19:36:32 luckily I noticed it and went to the right lane Oct 30 19:36:33 I'm thinking of changing my car's colour Oct 30 19:36:34 DocScrutinizer, roads in Israeli areas are epic Oct 30 19:36:36 areas between Israeli and Arab places, not so much Oct 30 19:37:09 nah, they need to dissipate all the excess electric energy that's created during plutonium production X-P Oct 30 19:38:20 so it's just fine to place a lantern every 50m on each highway Oct 30 19:38:36 japan and taiwan do same Oct 30 19:38:56 Xenon lights are annoying Oct 30 19:39:04 should be illegal imo Oct 30 19:39:27 yes they should Oct 30 19:39:35 you almost get blindfolded by those... Oct 30 19:39:56 you never seen the 300W halogen incandescent of one of my former cars Oct 30 19:40:42 those were blinding the xenon lights themselves Oct 30 19:41:24 actually a *good* xenon is better than incandescent Oct 30 19:41:49 it's just they buld them in a really annoying way, with tiny aperture and poor focus Oct 30 19:43:52 2000 Lumen Bike Lights are annoying too.... for the car driver ;) Oct 30 19:44:05 oh yeah Oct 30 19:44:24 my next car will get LAZORS Oct 30 19:44:58 what about LAZERZ Oct 30 19:45:03 or just a microwave pulse canon Oct 30 19:45:38 hmm, that would be cool Oct 30 19:45:45 swith off those xenon and other electronics of the annoying other cars remotely ;-P Oct 30 19:45:57 hmm, how viable would it be to get big microwave owen Oct 30 19:46:02 dismantle it Oct 30 19:46:12 no problem Oct 30 19:46:39 it's a vacuum electron valve basically - extremely pulse resistant Oct 30 19:47:06 operate it from a 20kV capacitor rather than a 800V transformator Oct 30 19:47:32 800V transformer is ok Oct 30 19:47:39 should survive several dozen or even q00s of shots Oct 30 19:48:04 800V transformer is what your microwave ofen comes with Oct 30 19:48:08 oven* Oct 30 19:49:04 100uF 20.000V, gas spark switch Oct 30 19:49:29 or simply a cascade Oct 30 19:54:23 disclaimer: this is all mere handwaving ;-D Oct 30 19:56:10 but actually military is using similar technology to freeze mines along the road, in Afghanistan and Iraq Oct 30 19:57:49 a few magnitudes more powerful devices are powered by fission bombs Oct 30 20:12:21 http://files.abovetopsecret.com/images/coaxfcg.gif Oct 30 20:35:07 jacekowski: you don't want to boil the electronics, so you don't need seconds and minutes of 700W. You need a sub-ms surge of several tens of kW to some MW Oct 30 20:38:36 navy radar like the one of aegis (weapon system) work in the 600MW range and this frequently causes trouble for camera teams shooting footage on those ships Oct 30 20:39:43 oops, 6 MW, not 600 Oct 30 20:41:56 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AN/SPY-1 Oct 30 21:44:59 * timeless visits silicon valley Oct 30 21:47:05 * Ikarus visits silicon alley Oct 30 21:48:56 FCD?

I don't know what tpac means... Oct 30 22:19:37 hello, i'm interested in purchasing a nokia n900, i have a few questions about it: Oct 30 22:19:50 1. is there a proper gps antenna, or it is only a-gps? Oct 30 22:20:12 Both Oct 30 22:20:26 how's the battery life? Oct 30 22:20:45 Up to a week, logged into wifi, and GSM, otherwise idle. Oct 30 22:20:53 cool Oct 30 22:20:58 As low as 4h if you've got skype going in the background. Oct 30 22:21:04 you'll however never see that Oct 30 22:21:07 alright makes sense Oct 30 22:21:22 uhm.. where should i purchase from (canada here), is ebay a good place for them? Oct 30 22:21:42 In fairly heavy use - several hours mp3, some web, ..., I get almost a couple of days. Oct 30 22:22:09 without 3G Oct 30 22:22:39 yes, not much 3g. If you're doing anything that uses 3G data in the background, it gets painful. Oct 30 22:22:53 well, without any app doing data over 3G Oct 30 22:23:05 well 3g can be disable right? Oct 30 22:23:15 yup Oct 30 22:23:23 2G is a lil bit beter Oct 30 22:23:25 better* Oct 30 22:23:34 perfect, the phone sounds perfect for me, i was looking for a phone where i can do some hacking on it Oct 30 22:23:42 data over GSM is a power hog always Oct 30 22:23:43 sounds like it's some debian-based distro Oct 30 22:23:56 yes Oct 30 22:24:27 pretty much a standard linux system Oct 30 22:24:31 but some differences that you don't see in any linux distro tat can bite you Oct 30 22:24:45 alright, any recommended online stores to buy it from? (i'm from canada) Oct 30 22:25:31 if you treat it like a pure debian system, hacking on the base system Oct 30 22:26:16 I suspect you wont find any new anymore Oct 30 22:26:28 there's a few new ones on ebay i think Oct 30 22:27:33 like i like writing my own software, and i always wanted some embedded system to play with Oct 30 22:27:40 the n900 sounds like a practical choice Oct 30 22:27:55 you'll love it Oct 30 22:28:27 hint: if the listing claims dual-sim or java, it's probably something lika a "NOKLA N900" and not nokia ;) Oct 30 22:31:22 yes the famous chinese phones (-: Oct 30 22:31:38 is it possible to turn off 3G when the phone is locked? And when I have a Wlan-connection? Oct 30 22:32:07 It doesn't use the data connection when you're on WLAN Oct 30 22:32:15 which means that in most cases, 3G draws 'nothing'. Oct 30 22:32:37 what kind of video output options does it have? Oct 30 22:32:45 and any usb hosting facilities? Oct 30 22:32:46 SpeedEvil: ok, thanks Oct 30 22:33:23 composite out with the cable. Oct 30 22:33:29 And It can do USB host with a hack. Oct 30 22:34:00 so 3G draws "nothing" even if it says 3g under the signalbar? (I see my wlan in dataconnection) Oct 30 22:34:12 *I´m connected to my wlan Oct 30 22:34:15 Generally. Oct 30 22:34:34 ok Oct 30 22:34:37 Some pathalogical states where it's swapping rapidly between towers can use a fair amount of power. Oct 30 22:34:56 I see, but I don´t think that happens Oct 30 22:35:13 I almost get one day with regular use Oct 30 22:35:40 but I use skype, maybe I should turn it off Oct 30 22:36:09 Skype uses a fair amount of power even on wifi, as it's constnatly active. Oct 30 22:38:42 I just turned it off, hopefully I get one full day use now. Thanks SpeedEvil :D Oct 30 22:39:50 Good Night! Oct 30 23:05:36 alright thanks everyone, thanks alot Shadikka DocScrutinizer SpeedEvil and anyone else i forget Oct 30 23:12:22 mishighlight there.

Oct 31 00:07:18 What did you do? Oct 31 00:07:25 hmm. Oct 31 00:07:27 Though I've no insight into the error.

Oct 31 00:09:04 hmm, swap? Oct 31 00:09:22 when I am opening the camera shutter ,, it shows "not enough Memory to open Camera" Oct 31 00:09:46 thumbnailer/indexer eating all the ram on first boot?

Oct 31 00:10:46 df -h -- http://pastebin.com/fX7JHs1K Oct 31 00:11:16 I believe "Low Memory" refers to RAM, not disk space Oct 31 00:11:23 * SpeedEvil vaguely remembers camera being fairly hard-coded at one point.

Oct 31 00:17:01 It may be hardcoded to not allow that as swap Oct 31 00:17:05 Nokia-N900:~# swapon /dev/mmcblk1p3 swapon: /dev/mmcblk1p3: Invalid argument Oct 31 00:17:09 as there s also stuff to hard-unmount the SD Oct 31 00:17:14 if the cover is opened Oct 31 00:17:19 run mkswap over it maybe Oct 31 00:17:27 I'd wonder if it'd work with power-kernel Oct 31 00:17:47 its already mkswapeed Oct 31 00:18:40 my dmesg - http://pastebin.com/zhcU7Uhb Oct 31 00:18:55 "Unable to find swap-space signature" Oct 31 00:19:01 are you sure it's mkswapped? Oct 31 00:19:15 that just came .. when i ran swapon manually just now Oct 31 00:19:52 cooolll Oct 31 00:19:55 it worked Oct 31 00:20:02 :-) Oct 31 00:20:21 I again give mkswap /dev/mmcblk1p3 Oct 31 00:20:30 and the manually swapon /dev/mmcblk1p3 Oct 31 00:20:37 now as you have a mix of MyDocs on EMMC and Home on uSD we can not just replace the device for the genfstab script Oct 31 00:20:51 so go to rcS-late and find "swapon -a" Oct 31 00:21:03 NIN101: thenn Oct 31 00:21:11 remove that line and make swapon /dev/mmcblk1p3 Oct 31 00:21:25 okk Oct 31 00:24:25 but why would you need to do that on every boot? Oct 31 00:24:32 who overrides the swap partition? Oct 31 00:26:48 also even though I have made changes to rcS-late for mmcblk0 to mmcblk1 .. still /dev/mmcblk0p1 is mounting on /home/user/MyDocs instead of /dev/mmcblk0p0 Oct 31 00:27:15 sorry instead of /dev/mmcblk1p1 Oct 31 00:28:17 rcs-Late regenerates the /etc/fstab // is there any other place where the mounting gets changed Oct 31 00:29:15 It would be interesting to write this up for people with broken emmcs Oct 31 00:29:21 since my EMMC is damaged physically ... Oct 31 00:29:24 yepp Oct 31 00:29:27 Ah Oct 31 00:29:31 i will write don SpeedEvil Oct 31 00:30:05 but still my /home/user/MyDocs are using the EMMC Oct 31 00:30:32 You want it to - or not? Oct 31 00:30:56 no I dont want .. to rely on my EMMC .. it can be curropted anytime Oct 31 00:30:58 Is all the mmc broken? Oct 31 00:31:05 not the whole Oct 31 00:31:07 ah Oct 31 00:31:16 grep MyDocs /etc/* ? Oct 31 00:31:40 I think the mounting scripts are to do with USB Oct 31 00:31:51 http://pastebin.com/TTgHWxcM Oct 31 00:32:29 it's documented in the IRC logs, though DocScrutinizer gave you some sed scripts. The idea behind that was that you shouldn't change too much in mounting stuff :-). But now... one way would be to go to /usr/lib/genfstab.awk Oct 31 00:32:53 there you find "printf %s /home/user/MyDocs bla bla bla" Oct 31 00:33:36 I think you could replace %s with /dev/mmcblk1p1 Oct 31 00:33:59 if it also formatted as vfat. Oct 31 00:34:31 /dev/mmcblk1p1 0+ 275 276- 2104745 c W95 FAT32 (LBA) Oct 31 00:34:44 /dev/mmcblk0p1 1 884864 884864 28315648 c W95 FAT32 (LBA) Oct 31 00:34:52 ok. Oct 31 00:35:09 almost same .. except the size Oct 31 00:35:10 don't replace random stuff with mmcblk1*, just *swap* mmcblk1 and mmcblk0 Oct 31 00:35:29 32G microsd have gotten lots cheaper Oct 31 00:37:22 ,,do the swap globally on rootfs Oct 31 00:38:35 there a severla places refering to mmcblk* and it's hard to catch all the indirect locations, so just swap the explicit strings *everywhere* Oct 31 00:40:48 okk .. lemme use ur script .. DocScrutinizer51 .. and see the results Oct 31 00:55:36 ok .. I have used the DocScrutinizer51 script to change all the occurances *everywhere* Oct 31 00:55:41 Its working .. Oct 31 00:56:22 but still /dev/mmcblk0p1 on /home/user/MyDocs ..instead of /dev/mmcblk1p1 Oct 31 00:57:28 that's just as it should be - only minimal detail mmcblk0 is uSAD now Oct 31 00:58:47 so u mean its not mounting EMMC now .. its is uSD on /home.user/MyDocs Oct 31 01:02:49 Also when I open the Photos application .. its gives the error "Operation Failed " and nothing in it .. Oct 31 01:03:52 When I open Calendar .. Inetrnal Error :Application closed Calendar" Oct 31 01:09:20 also one point to note .. the CPU usage is consistently over 50% all the time ... Oct 31 01:09:46 dbus-daemon are the culprits Oct 31 01:10:18 996 1 user S < 1392 0.5 7.9 /usr/bin/dbus-daemon --fork --print-pid 5 --print-address 7 --session Oct 31 01:10:20 769 1 messageb S < 1940 0.7 6.5 /usr/bin/dbus-daemon --system --nofork Oct 31 01:22:02 dbus-listen or something Oct 31 01:23:40 dbus-listen ? Oct 31 01:24:10 To find out what the messages are Oct 31 01:24:32 dont have dbus-listen Oct 31 01:25:02 dbus-monitor Oct 31 01:25:27 its huge text Oct 31 01:26:25 tracker Oct 31 01:28:03 btw I'm not Merlin. I just suggested a way I think is the most simple one to accomplish that sap of eMMC and uSD. I'm eve surprised it worked this far, and I'd never think there are no additional problems arising anywhere with this ultrasimple global edit Oct 31 01:28:18 swap* Oct 31 01:28:48 UberNeo: stupid quesiton, but did you reboot after the global swap? Oct 31 01:29:01 yes already twice Oct 31 01:29:12 Also - global swap - the system was in stock state first? Oct 31 01:29:19 Swapping some back won't work Oct 31 01:34:57 . Oct 31 01:35:56 UberNeo: Could you paste the output of mount again? Oct 31 01:35:56 also one thing to notice that .. I am able to click n save the pictures at location "/media/mmc1/DCIM" which is mounted on "/dev/mmcblk1p1 on /media/mmc1" Oct 31 01:36:26 mount - http://pastebin.com/GP7zU3ZC Oct 31 01:40:49 So nothing changed, just like before. UberNeo: Can you paste /etc/event.d/rcS-late? Oct 31 01:42:15 http://pastebin.com/RauaFvWz -- /etc/event.d/rcS-late Oct 31 01:43:42 UberNeo: cat /etc/fstab | grep MyDocs Oct 31 01:44:23 . Oct 31 01:44:30 /dev/mmcblk1p1 /home/user/MyDocs vfat noauto,nodev,noexec,nosuid,noatime,nodiratime,utf8,uid=29999,shortname=mixed,dmask=000,fmask=0133,rodir 0 0 Oct 31 01:44:51 UberNeo: thx Oct 31 01:46:05 fstab apparently plays no role for MyDocs. Oct 31 01:46:46 NIN101: then where is it getting mounted Oct 31 01:46:59 /usr/sbin/osso-mmc-mount.sh Oct 31 01:47:12 also not able to play any Youtube Video .. i can open it but no flash Oct 31 01:48:18 so any changes in /usr/sbin/osso-mmc-mount.sh Oct 31 01:49:21 one "hacky" way to stop mounting /dev/mmcblk0p1 would be to insert something like if [ "$PDEV" = "/dev/mmcblk0p1" ] ; then exit fi Oct 31 01:50:46 add a ; after the exit if you wanna do this. Oct 31 01:51:13 line 40 right Oct 31 01:53:15 UberNeo: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=7bWbTx5i something like this Oct 31 01:53:21 argh Oct 31 01:53:39 0p1, not 1p1 Oct 31 01:54:37 so i shud just add if [ "$PDEV" = "/dev/mmcblk0p1" ] ; then exit fi at the top Oct 31 01:55:46 http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=7PX77HsX find "MP=$2" (it's somewhere at the top) and then add the "if ..." i pasted. Oct 31 01:58:49 new mount after the reboot -- http://pastebin.com/NMp3jjgg Oct 31 01:59:16 as expected Oct 31 01:59:23 thr is no /dev/mmcblk0p1 now Oct 31 01:59:47 but "/dev/mmcblk1p1 on /media/mmc1" it shud be "/dev/mmcblk1p1 on /home/user/MyDocs" Oct 31 02:00:00 now you only need a script which mounts mmcblk1p1 to /home/user/MyDocs Oct 31 02:01:15 we also must stop mmcblk1p1 from mounting to /media/mmc1 Oct 31 02:02:29 (so it would look like this http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=yMKeiyiR) Oct 31 02:06:09 more changes -- Oct 31 02:06:11 http://pastebin.com/vNsyBDvx Oct 31 02:06:46 http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=XeXV3TEy and this in /etc/event.d/realmydocs should mount the right MyDocs Oct 31 02:06:51 rebooted .. and here is the mount :) http://pastebin.com/hCmnG87V Oct 31 02:13:36 NIN101: its worked :) Oct 31 02:14:02 but still few issues .. still not able to open Calendar .. Oct 31 02:14:33 /usr/bin/dbus-daemon --fork --print-pid 5 --print-address 7 --session -- this taking max cpu % Oct 31 02:15:05 Photos application showing "Operation Failed" Oct 31 02:29:25 UberNeo: after you moved the home device location to sd, you booted with a completely empty home, you didn't copy the hidden folders of your old emmc home to the new one, right? Oct 31 02:30:30 right .. Oct 31 02:30:58 hm Oct 31 02:31:05 havent copied the Hidden folders Oct 31 02:32:14 i had just used cp -r /home/user/MyDocs /mnt/p1 Oct 31 02:36:47 It treats the hidden folders as links somehow Oct 31 02:37:01 The names of the directories are localised Oct 31 02:37:34 cp -a ! Oct 31 02:40:11 also think about the following: if there's no uSD, the eMMC gets detected by kernel as mmcblk0. *IF* there _is_ a uSD, this uSD will get detected by kernel as mmcblk0 and eMMC gets detected as mmcblk1. *Someting* later on renames mmcblk1-eMMC to mmcblk0, and mmcblk0-uSD to mmcblk1. Find this *something* and comment it out Oct 31 02:41:49 thats the reason ..in dmesg - mmcblk0: mmc0:85ee SD08G 7.42 GiB Oct 31 02:41:55 whole swap done (except cp -a of course) by a single char # Oct 31 02:41:57 mmcblk1: mmc1:0001 MMC32G 29.8 GiB Oct 31 02:46:17 this "something" sounds like udev rules to me. Oct 31 02:47:53 /etc/udev/rules.d/92-n770.rules /lib/udev/mmc_id I think I found it. Oct 31 02:49:13 NIN101: http://pastebin.com/F5SrpwGe Oct 31 02:56:08 what do you want to do with it? You kinda swapped in a very different way by modifing some stuff, so it doesn't matter anymore atm. Oct 31 02:57:09 I ahve reversed all the changes and have copied back as cp -a .. now making all the changes again .. **** ENDING LOGGING AT Mon Oct 31 02:59:56 2011
