Jan 02 07:36:37 <arvut> good morning maemo =)
Jan 02 10:03:14 <mihu1> Hi. If I connect my N900 to my PC, always this "Connected to USB" message pops up asking my if I want mass storage or USB networking. Is it possible that it automatically always chooses USB networking?
Jan 02 10:03:43 <SpeedEvil> No
Jan 02 10:03:53 <SpeedEvil> It comes up in a mode where it only charges
Jan 02 10:07:14 <mihu1> SpeedEvil: Ok, so no easy way to configure that. But somebody must be responsible (a script?) for bringing up this message and perhaps it's possible to hack this. I'll try to find out how that actually works.
Jan 02 10:07:59 <SpeedEvil> There is, I forget what it is
Jan 02 10:18:27 <Sicelo>  usb networking is automatically set with pc suite mode. nothing special needed after u select that
Jan 02 10:19:33 <Macer> lies!
Jan 02 10:20:43 <mihu1> Sicelo: That's true, but I don't want that dialog to pop up. Whenever I connect the usb cable, it should go straight to "PC Suite mode".
Jan 02 10:24:08 <Sicelo> i get u now 
Jan 02 12:28:53 <mihu1> I tried to follow the instructions from http://wiki.maemo.org/Modifying_the_root_image#Shell_script_to_mount.2Funmount_JFFS2_using_block_device_emulating_MTD to mount & extract rootfs.jffs2 from the official pr1.3 firmware. Everything goes fine until "mount -t jffs2 /tmp/mtdblock0 /media/jffs2" where I receive "mount: /tmp/mtdblock0: can't read superblock". I'm using Ubuntu 10.10. Any ideas?
Jan 02 12:39:10 <mgedmin> doesn't n900 use ubifs instead of jffs2?
Jan 02 12:43:47 <mihu1> Grrr. You're right. That article states that at the very beginning, which I overlooked. 
Jan 02 13:12:25 <mihu1> mgedmin: It works fine with the description for the N900 that is in tmo, which is linked from the article from the wiki.
Jan 02 13:39:16 <Svedrin> hi. I'm currently building a python daemon that adapts the volume of the music player on my n900 to the speed at which I'm driving, based upon http://wiki.maemo.org/PyMaemo/Using_Location_API#Complete_example
Jan 02 13:39:33 <Svedrin> I'm having trouble figuring out how python-mafw works though... my code currently looks like this: https://bitbucket.org/Svedrin/misc/src/tip/py/volumed
Jan 02 13:40:13 <Svedrin> I'm not sure if the initialization steps I'm doing (lines 90-95) are correct, and if I'm setting the volume correctly (line 39)
Jan 02 13:40:40 <Svedrin> in the shell this worked, but it doesn't when I start the daemon
Jan 02 13:41:00 <Svedrin> the call is simply being ignored, which is why I used this os.system("dbus-send") hack
Jan 02 13:42:11 <Svedrin> is that even the right approach on mafw?

Jan 02 14:07:22 <Hurrian> freemangordon: hmm, apparently SR is no longer calculating extremely low values for voltage
Jan 02 14:08:40 <Hurrian> hmm, spoke too soon
Jan 02 14:09:05 <Hurrian> tested a new custom config, resulted in reboot. maybe i wasn't pushing CPU to 100% load?
Jan 02 14:09:25 <Hurrian> either way, it still needs more powah

Jan 02 14:25:27 <freemangordon> Hurrian, ping
Jan 02 16:19:53 <DocScrutinizer51> all you OC and ULV-SR tuners sound like those kids pimping up the engines of their bikes next block
Jan 02 16:22:10 <DocScrutinizer51> "hey, mine is doing max 11,000RPM now and only needs 5L/100km, just I must"'t stop the engine now or it never starts again" 
Jan 02 16:24:46 <freemangordon> DocScrutinizer51, what is the exact problem with undervolting and SR?
Jan 02 16:26:37 <freemangordon> Just because we're still not there does not mean we will never be there  (I mean stable SR). Lets bet on two weeks from now, ok?
Jan 02 17:18:29 <MohammadAG> fw190, ?
Jan 02 19:47:54 <DocScrutinizer> freemangordon: simple answer: no problem, you're just ignoring the solution - which TI already delivered, as they damn sure should *know* their chips
Jan 02 19:50:54 <DocScrutinizer> all you hobby cooks that pretend they boight some weird unknown fruit from a fruiterer on the marked who allegedly told them "I found this in the djungle, dunno if you could eat it and how to cook a tasty meal from it" - you make me grin evilly
Jan 02 19:51:18 <Raimu> :D
Jan 02 19:53:03 <Raimu> Reading through these instability reports I'm quite glad I've had a troublefree n900 for now.
Jan 02 19:53:12 <DocScrutinizer> TI gave absolutely precise instructions how to operate that "unkmown fruit" so it will 100% result in a tasty meal. No use in experimenting to find better ways than those who created that fruit by gen manipulation and years of mass testing in their labs
Jan 02 19:53:45 <Raimu> Every hiccup on my n900 has been attributed effectively to the dumbass-user-raimu module.
Jan 02 20:08:46 <DocScrutinizer> the only honest way to implement an alternative to what Nokia delivered in accordance with TI is to first understand WHY Nokia did it the way they did, then evaluate alternatives that better meet your emphasis on particular stability/wear/power-consumption aspects, based on *scientific* methods that take in account what were the reasons for the original setup
Jan 02 20:58:38 <pauly1210> anyone want to trade their galaxy s 2 for n900?
Jan 02 21:02:25 <NIN101> anyone wants to trade his iPhone for my N900?
Jan 02 21:03:09 <NIN101> (ok ok, bad joke).
Jan 02 21:08:23 <Sicelo> ah, pauly is back :)
Jan 02 21:45:04 <radec> hi all
Jan 02 21:47:04 <jonne> anyone know how do diagnose an issue i'm having where the n900 reboots when you tell it to shut down?
Jan 02 21:49:06 <merlin1991> jonne: how do you tell it to shut down?
Jan 02 21:49:33 <jonne> press button on top > switch off
Jan 02 21:49:48 <jonne> or hold button on top down for like 5 secs
Jan 02 21:50:05 <jonne> doesn't matter how i try, it reboots instead of shutting down
Jan 02 21:50:14 <jonne> pretty annoying when you're flying
Jan 02 22:07:33 <badcloud_> is there some way to enlarge the icons in claws-mail on the right side of incomming messages (headers, text, html, attachment, etc.)?
Jan 02 22:08:00 <badcloud_> they're so very very small
Jan 02 22:18:06 <swedgin> can anyone help me with installing software to Nokia N9? not exactly Maemo but this channel was closest I could find =P
Jan 02 22:19:15 <SpeedEvil> #n9, I think also
Jan 02 22:19:23 <merlin1991> swedgin: there is #n9 and #harmattan
Jan 02 22:19:42 <swedgin> okay i try those... thanks
Jan 02 22:29:00 <DocScrutinizer> jonne: related to powerkernel, should be fixed in newest release afaik
Jan 02 22:29:19 <DocScrutinizer> ask freemangordon 
Jan 02 22:32:57 <DocScrutinizer> *COUGH*
Jan 02 22:33:21 <DocScrutinizer> HAH
Jan 02 22:33:26 <DocScrutinizer> WB everybody
Jan 02 22:48:48 <merlin1991> anybody in here with a bit of graphical design skills willing to crate a cssu icon?
Jan 02 22:49:39 <merlin1991> with icon I mean something like http://talk.maemo.org/maemo/resources/meegocomp.jpg that promotes cssu
Jan 02 23:13:42 <plur> this genfstab.awk is cracked out
Jan 02 23:13:49 <SpeedEvil> It is.
Jan 02 23:13:51 <plur> my first attempt didnt result in any mounts (or a properly generated one)
Jan 02 23:14:04 <plur> my secont attempt has left 5-white-dots stuck forever
Jan 02 23:14:19 <plur> just trying to put a 32gb ext3 /home in there, after wiping the vfat 
Jan 02 23:15:24 <plur> hm, wonder if flasher -b single, or something like that 
Jan 02 23:15:32 <plur> can get me to a single user mode to try fixing it again w/o reflashing
Jan 02 23:16:19 <SpeedEvil> In principle you can load into RAM a kernel to boot off the SD
Jan 02 23:18:17 <plur> may get a cross-compiler going ot try vanilla 3.1 linux
Jan 02 23:23:17 <merlin1991> plur: write the nemo release to an sdcard
Jan 02 23:23:34 <merlin1991> and load the kernel with flasher-3.5 -l -b -k KERNELIMAGE
Jan 02 23:23:49 <merlin1991> then go to the terminal in nemo mount rootfs and start fixing :)
Jan 02 23:24:31 <merlin1991> that way I read mtd to recover my sisters lockcode without touching maemo :)
Jan 02 23:40:27 <DocScrutinizer> merlin1991: you recovered lockcode? on PR1.3??
Jan 02 23:40:36 <merlin1991> yes
Jan 02 23:40:51 <DocScrutinizer> I agther it's been set sinde PR1.2
Jan 02 23:41:02 <merlin1991> it was encrytped
Jan 02 23:41:07 <merlin1991> and set in 1.3
Jan 02 23:41:09 <DocScrutinizer> as for all I know on PR1.3 you can't find it anymore in CAL
Jan 02 23:41:26 <merlin1991> it's there in mtd1 I think
Jan 02 23:41:49 <merlin1991> don't remember what kind of hash it was
Jan 02 23:41:53 <DocScrutinizer> nope, it's not
Jan 02 23:42:51 <merlin1991> grep -A 13 lock_code /dev/mtd1|tail -1
Jan 02 23:42:54 <merlin1991> that's what I used
Jan 02 23:43:07 <merlin1991> I even tried on my pr 1.3 device by setting a code and cracking it afterwards
Jan 02 23:43:21 <DocScrutinizer> at least that cat mtd1|grep lockcode  or whatever doesn't work anymore for all I know and seem to recall from own tests
Jan 02 23:43:39 <merlin1991> worked just fine on mine and on the one of my sister
Jan 02 23:45:28 <DocScrutinizer> it seems on devices that flashed PR1.3 image it doesn'T work anymore. Though I really wonder when and how they would change it
Jan 02 23:46:00 <DocScrutinizer> still works on my up-to-date CSSU daily phone
Jan 02 23:46:08 <merlin1991> well my device has 1.3 flashed and I did set a lockcode then and it worked
Jan 02 23:47:22 <DocScrutinizer> seems I have to delete or update/correct a tmo post of mine
Jan 02 23:49:13 <DocScrutinizer> btw, do we still have a council? anybody heard of them?
Jan 02 23:50:34 <merlin1991> afaik there still is a council
Jan 02 23:51:15 <DocScrutinizer> was there a vote?
Jan 02 23:51:22 <merlin1991> DocScrutinizer: http://wiki.maemo.org/Community_Council
Jan 02 23:56:39 <DocScrutinizer> seems rather quite
Jan 02 23:56:45 <DocScrutinizer> quiet*
Jan 02 23:58:10 <LaoLang_cool> morning!
