**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Jul 10 02:59:58 2012 Jul 10 05:20:16 I have an issue with connecting the n900 to a debian laptop. When I connect in PCSuite mode and try to rsync files between netbook and n900 only the phone memory is available. The SB card is mounted ro every time. How can I make it mount rw? Jul 10 05:24:08 jpinx, ..? why are you using 'pc suite' mode? Jul 10 05:25:50 japh: cos I use wvdial to connect to internet through my simcard Jul 10 05:27:58 jpinx: try to unmount that memorycard manually. Maybe something is using it or something Jul 10 05:28:27 jpinx, humm. Jul 10 05:28:47 sulx: tried that. but remounting fails Jul 10 05:28:58 if you don't answer the question, you can access everything as-is Jul 10 05:29:58 japh: did you not see? I use PCSuite mode so that I can use wvdial in the netbook to connect to the internet throught the n900 simcard Jul 10 05:30:45 okay, I really don't understand what that is Jul 10 05:31:04 by question I didn't mean my question, but the one the phone is asking when connecting the device to the computer Jul 10 05:31:19 ignore me then :) Jul 10 05:31:43 japh: it is not asking a question - merely tells me that the SD card memory is not available cos it is mounted ro Jul 10 07:09:06 hi Jul 10 07:11:12 any idea if failure of reading the simcard is a known problem of the n900? Jul 10 07:12:09 phrearch: not heard of it in 3 years and 2 n900's Jul 10 07:12:29 phrearch: and multiple international simcards Jul 10 07:13:18 jpinx: hm, guess im unlucky then Jul 10 07:13:42 phrearch: check the sim card in another phone Jul 10 07:13:50 likely a dud ;) Jul 10 07:14:20 yea good idea. its a weird issue Jul 10 07:16:11 http://discussions.nokia.com/t5/Maemo-and-MeeGo-Devices/N900-no-mobile-network-connectivity-SIM-card-not-recognized/td-p/689268 Jul 10 07:17:39 ill have to try it in another phone first Jul 10 07:22:03 phrearch: make sure your n900 is not in flight mode Jul 10 07:26:11 ehm, where is that setting? Jul 10 07:29:51 press the on/off for a second and a menu will show Jul 10 07:32:19 ah got it. no itw as not in flight modus Jul 10 07:32:30 first time i ever see this menu hehe Jul 10 07:33:32 looks like its a goner. it always worked as expected, but at some point it just failed without no obvious reason :( Jul 10 07:36:04 phrearch: did it get wet and/or abraded? Jul 10 07:36:32 it was kinda warm that day Jul 10 07:36:52 i think it got toasted Jul 10 07:37:42 define "warm" ? I've had simcards ok at 50 degrees Centigrade Jul 10 07:38:07 30 degrees or something, nothing extreme Jul 10 07:38:53 phrearch: check your n900 with a known good simcard Jul 10 07:39:43 if it fails the problems is probably hardware - possible just the little spring contacts in the simcard holder onto the sim card Jul 10 07:40:00 i already tried to move those a little bit up Jul 10 07:40:16 phrearch: but be careful if fiddling with those --very easy to damage Jul 10 07:40:28 probably hardware. will check with another simcard asap Jul 10 07:40:31 yep :) Jul 10 07:41:05 heh Jul 10 07:41:17 i had the same problem Jul 10 07:41:20 modem failure Jul 10 07:41:28 tried bending the pins up didn't work Jul 10 07:41:49 kept losing the sim/cell connection.... sucked :-/ i miss my n900 Jul 10 07:42:16 aha, sounds like the same issue Jul 10 07:42:25 you sent if for repair? Jul 10 07:42:49 no Jul 10 07:43:01 i tried but they said thephone was purchased from the UK Jul 10 07:43:13 hm too bad Jul 10 07:43:14 and there is no viable way to ship it to UK and have them ship it back to the US Jul 10 07:43:19 yeah.. it sucks Jul 10 07:43:30 i wouldn't even mind getting an e7 back tbh Jul 10 07:44:03 but it did let me get away from t-mobile.. which totally sucks in chicago.. i swapped to att and got a lumia 900 Jul 10 07:44:12 i wouldn't mind getting an N9 if they were't still so expensive Jul 10 07:45:41 i still use the n900 at home via wifi Jul 10 07:45:41 maybe I've been lucky with hardware - 3 n900's and always managed to fix them myself - one is a dedicated usb modem for the netbook Jul 10 07:45:57 heh yeah.. my first n900 had the usb port fall off Jul 10 07:46:01 yea, maybe nice as webserver :) Jul 10 07:46:04 didn't even know they did that until it happened to me Jul 10 07:46:16 guess it was a common failure Jul 10 07:46:24 Macer: did you explore getting a new simcard holder and fitting it yourself? Jul 10 07:46:45 no.. i saw no need since i got away from tmobile.. 2G is no fun ;) Jul 10 07:46:46 Macer: yea - reams have been written about the weak usb ports and how to fix them Jul 10 07:46:59 i saw that.. tried to fix it but couldn't manage to do it Jul 10 07:47:03 gave up and got a new one Jul 10 07:47:08 which had the modem failure with the sim Jul 10 07:47:20 worked great for almost a year.. then ... broken Jul 10 07:47:32 i thought my sim was messed up but guess it was the n900 :( Jul 10 07:47:35 it was a sad day Jul 10 07:47:52 nothing beats the n900.. i wish nokia kept that type of device going Jul 10 07:47:54 you can buy 2nd hand n900's really cheap now Jul 10 07:48:04 "cheap" ;) Jul 10 07:48:18 i actually got that one for pretty cheap.. but after 2 breaks ... i gave up Jul 10 07:48:19 http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=1229823 Jul 10 07:48:19 Macer: depends what country you're in Jul 10 07:48:25 i'm in the US Jul 10 07:48:49 Macer: in NZ they can be as low as US$70 equivalent Jul 10 07:49:06 less if you're prepared to replace a screen or even just flassh the system Jul 10 07:49:06 i could probably get a new one for around $150 here.. but i don't want to use 2G Jul 10 07:49:21 oh i'm sure.. i had a spare screen .. sold it on ebay for $50 Jul 10 07:49:26 from the first one with the USB port that broke Jul 10 07:49:40 i was keeping it around for the 2nd one just in case.. but see no need to keep it Jul 10 07:49:42 lots of semi-broken ones for sale cos people don't know how to fix them Jul 10 07:49:46 heh Jul 10 07:49:59 they're actually incredibly easy to disassemble Jul 10 07:50:09 for the type of device it is Jul 10 07:50:11 * jpinx has 2 working and one for spares Jul 10 07:50:13 i think the G2 was the worst i took apart Jul 10 07:50:40 always looking for another broken one for spares ;) Jul 10 07:50:52 does the N9 support the att 3G freq? Jul 10 07:50:59 or 4G? Jul 10 07:51:20 but then again.. lord knows how well that meego dev is going :) since nokia abandoned that as well Jul 10 07:51:32 wow the n8x0 and n9xxx series was a total drag Jul 10 07:51:38 such potential but constantly abandoned Jul 10 07:51:51 time and time and time again.. what a shame Jul 10 07:52:13 bad management from nokia. i think they got lobotomized at some point Jul 10 07:52:21 i agree Jul 10 07:52:43 they got lobotomized by MS ;) Jul 10 07:52:51 i can understand the need to swap over to wp7 or win8.. but they could have kept the N900 line going Jul 10 07:53:02 just as a niche Jul 10 07:53:12 i'm sure it would still have been quite profitable Jul 10 07:53:20 yea, same Jul 10 07:53:22 Macer: they had a great chance to take on MS and Android and win Jul 10 07:53:37 jpinx: i dunno... i doubt that for some reason Jul 10 07:53:41 but their new boss is a MS clone..... Jul 10 07:53:41 they'd have to have something come out shining Jul 10 07:54:12 and people were already stuck on ios, android, and wp7 Jul 10 07:54:22 Macer: the n900 could be slimmed down and the OS refined -- look at the work the volunteers have done..... Jul 10 07:54:28 i have to admit.. while i miss my n900 and love maemo.... Jul 10 07:54:35 wp7 isn't that bad :) Jul 10 07:54:38 ios is a pos Jul 10 07:54:42 i have a lumia 900 Jul 10 07:54:48 and wp7 is worse Jul 10 07:55:01 jpinx: tbh.. in comparison to what maemo was doing.... Jul 10 07:55:05 everything is a pos ;) Jul 10 07:55:10 REAL multitasking Jul 10 07:55:10 clicky OS's that only do what they allow you Jul 10 07:55:23 awesome interface.. just great system Jul 10 07:55:38 jpinx: i guess.. but that is life... :) Jul 10 07:55:45 i honestly think wp7 does everything i need Jul 10 07:55:50 life sux sometimes ;) Jul 10 07:55:57 but i miss having an xserver and xterm :( Jul 10 07:56:16 Macer: I couldn't live without cl on the n900 Jul 10 07:56:26 heh Jul 10 07:56:31 believe it or not Jul 10 07:56:38 and the ability to ssh into it and fiddle Jul 10 07:56:45 ie for wp7 is probably the best broser i have used on a mobile device ;) Jul 10 07:56:52 browser Jul 10 07:57:14 microb was ok.. but rather sluggish.. but of course that can be hardware.. but the mozilla engine seems to have gotten retardedly bloated Jul 10 07:57:16 mobile browswers universally suck cos the websites are really crap Jul 10 07:57:32 i suppose.. but it is very tolerable using ie Jul 10 07:57:39 Macer: yea - even firefox is bloatware now :( Jul 10 07:57:47 it really is the best one i've tried so far on a phone or small device Jul 10 07:58:03 responsive.. supports most things... just overall works and is quick Jul 10 07:58:06 * jpinx is resisting chrome on the eeepc Jul 10 07:58:08 something i didn't expect from ie Jul 10 07:58:32 google had very few good ideas Jul 10 07:58:42 gmail... gdocs... android... and chrome Jul 10 07:58:52 the rest of everything google pretty much sucks Jul 10 07:59:06 maps are pretty good Jul 10 07:59:08 and chrome was probably their 2nd biggest accomplishment :) Jul 10 07:59:28 i wonder how much information chrome sucks up for google Jul 10 07:59:40 lots ;) Jul 10 07:59:44 heh Jul 10 07:59:53 what makes it so bad... is that chrome is awesome Jul 10 07:59:58 and no chance of noscript in it ;) Jul 10 07:59:59 you can't help but use it considering the alternatives Jul 10 08:00:10 i really liked rekonq Jul 10 08:00:16 but it's still a big flakey Jul 10 08:00:19 Macer: I use swiftfox now - sort of stripped down firefox Jul 10 08:00:20 bit Jul 10 08:00:37 never tried rekong..... Jul 10 08:00:46 i'd still rather use something that uses webkit Jul 10 08:00:48 rekonq -- even.... Jul 10 08:00:57 it's not bad.. but like i said... still a bit buggy Jul 10 08:01:09 personally i think on the liniux desktop side of the house kde is the best way to go Jul 10 08:01:25 they've done quite a lot with kde4.. it is something my 60 year old father can use without being confused Jul 10 08:02:02 Macer: I don't use kde or gnome, so I supppose rekonq is a no-no ? Jul 10 08:02:07 and rekonq is the kde browser.. but it needs work.. although i haven't used it in over a year.. they my have cleaned it up a bit Jul 10 08:02:21 naw.. you can install rekonq without using kde Jul 10 08:02:34 you'd have kdelibs and qt install of course Jul 10 08:02:50 :( Jul 10 08:02:53 i used to run it in fluxbox :) but wound up getting rid of it for chromium Jul 10 08:03:10 either way... i just run kubuntu and be done with it.. my server runs debian Jul 10 08:03:29 although i'm considering swapping over to freebsd for zfs once i get a motherboard working again Jul 10 08:04:01 i miss freebsd.. i meant to use it at first but the via nic chipset in the artigo i used to run just wouldn't work in fbsd :( Jul 10 08:04:36 ah well.. have to do stuff.... ttyl Jul 10 08:08:11 Jaffa: go look at license conditions of redistributable blobs for n9xx and it becomes apperant why it's a problem for a company to do, simple as that Jul 10 09:38:33 ping DocScrutinizer Jul 10 09:38:42 http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=1235118&postcount=474 Jul 10 09:41:18 new update for kernel-power-modules v51 package, see ^^^ Jul 10 09:42:10 bq27x00_battery will export file /sys/class/power_supply/bq27200-0/registers Jul 10 10:00:24 asd.

Don't ask if you can ask a question first. Don't ask if a person is there; just ask what you intended to ask them. Better questions more frequently yield better answers. We are all here voluntarily or against our will. Jul 10 18:03:13 against our will :) that's funny Jul 10 18:03:37 not really ;-P Jul 10 18:03:49 why is it so convoluted to call cpp functions from qml, I'm always spending the first hour of creating a new project with this Jul 10 18:04:13 then you should forget about QML and just code everything in Qt C++ Jul 10 18:04:35 that's what I do anyway :P Jul 10 18:04:37 Nah, worse. And not portable to harmattan Jul 10 18:04:49 oh well that's another thng. Jul 10 18:04:50 thing Jul 10 18:05:23 qwazix_: ECHAN? Jul 10 18:05:42 Ok, so I installed the scratchbox, added my user to the group etc and I ran maemo-sdk-install_5.0.sh, it downloaded some stuff, and tried to install it, but hang on Setting up pulseaudio (0.9.15-1maemo43+0m5) ..., after about 30mins it caught signal 11. Maybe anyone knows what can be wrong? Jul 10 18:06:24 you installed the scratchbox? Jul 10 18:06:27 the script does it all for you Jul 10 18:06:32 anyone with an N9 on PR1.3? Jul 10 18:06:34 including installing scratchbox Jul 10 18:06:44 psotnick: 64bit system? Jul 10 18:07:22 Scorpius: in tutorial it says to install it(Ubuntu section, I'm using Arch) first, so I installed it Jul 10 18:07:26 DocScrutinizer05: 32 Jul 10 18:07:28 oooh, actually Scorpius might be right too Jul 10 18:07:41 did you run the script as root? Jul 10 18:07:42 psotnick: 32 is good Jul 10 18:08:16 Scorpius: it says on wiki that I should run it as user Jul 10 18:08:42 psotnick: you read the wiki howto? Jul 10 18:09:04 (there are several iirc) Jul 10 18:09:09 I wonder what wiki you are reading. Jul 10 18:09:26 Run the scratchbox installer with root permission specifying the username to be added to scratchbox users group and sbox group. Jul 10 18:09:35 sudo ./maemo-scratchbox-install_5.0beta2.sh –u USER Jul 10 18:09:40 http://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/Maemo_5_Final_SDK_Installation Jul 10 18:09:42 you typed exactly that? Jul 10 18:09:45 I'm following that Jul 10 18:10:07 hmm Jul 10 18:10:50 well Jul 10 18:10:56 Scorpius: your - is a ª Jul 10 18:11:00 why didn't you try the GUI installer? Jul 10 18:11:04 it's nicer Jul 10 18:11:14 I missed the '-u USER', I'll try to make it again Jul 10 18:11:14 sudo ./maemo-sdk-install-wizard_5.0.py <--- that's the GUI installer Jul 10 18:11:25 the -u USER is for the beta you're installing the stable one Jul 10 18:11:37 the wiki you're reading Jul 10 18:11:44 the first section "Starting installation with GUI installer" Jul 10 18:11:47 the GUI installer is said to be broken Jul 10 18:11:53 that's what I always use! Jul 10 18:12:02 I actually have never tried the text based installation Jul 10 18:12:17 I prefer text based stuff Jul 10 18:12:35 It usually has more info about problems and stuff Jul 10 18:12:42 your scratchbox is in /scratchbox ? Jul 10 18:12:55 the GUI has a big window with the log of everything it is doing Jul 10 18:13:04 don't worry about that Jul 10 18:13:30 also, remember that all package managers should be closed. Not apt-get running around somewhere or something like that Jul 10 18:13:59 the GUI installer installs everything for you (including scratchbox properly) Jul 10 18:14:03 and it has never failed on me Jul 10 18:15:04 also... Jul 10 18:15:22 I think the SDK only works in Debian based Linuxes, that is either Debian or Ubuntu Jul 10 18:15:27 you said you're using Arch? Jul 10 18:15:39 that could be a problem. Jul 10 18:15:47 Yes, but it worked for ppl on arch forum Jul 10 18:15:53 I see. Jul 10 18:17:45 Okay, I started GUI installer Jul 10 18:17:57 as root right? the GUI installer must be as root. Jul 10 18:17:58 I installed and used it on Suse11.3 Jul 10 18:18:00 Let's see if it works Jul 10 18:18:03 Yes, as root Jul 10 18:18:06 cool Jul 10 18:18:58 My connection is 2/1Mbps so I need to be patient :) Jul 10 18:19:11 be aware you need room for a 4GB /scratchbox dir Jul 10 18:19:35 maybe 5 Jul 10 18:19:46 I know, I've got something about 5 free Jul 10 18:20:04 in / Jul 10 18:20:14 NOT in /home Jul 10 18:20:29 I know Jul 10 18:20:37 since friggin scratchbox thinks it's smart to install to root Jul 10 18:20:45 Meanwhile: Hackers Steal Keyless BMW In Under 3 Minutes Jul 10 18:21:02 lol Jul 10 18:21:13 you got the weirdest of news : Jul 10 18:21:16 link please Jul 10 18:21:59 probably #reuters @ twitter Jul 10 18:22:55 wow. Jul 10 18:22:58 DocScrutinizer, sorry wasn't looking. What does _ECHAN mean? Jul 10 18:23:11 wrong channel? Jul 10 18:23:26 luckily you can move scratchbox later and symlink /scratchbox to that new path, at least. Jul 10 18:24:54 qwazix_: pseudo unix functioncall return code: -ECHAN Jul 10 18:25:21 oh, not really, I just wanted to tell someone my troubles... Now I fixed it. Back on topic Jul 10 18:25:28 seems I get constant -EAGAIN Jul 10 18:27:01 DocScrutinizer05 could you please take a minute to confirm or disprove a theory I have about resistive and multitouch? Jul 10 18:27:14 sure, shoot Jul 10 18:27:38 while I dig for my awesome stantum link Jul 10 18:28:17 From what I've read a oversimplification of a standard resistive screen is a grid of "cables" let's say 840 on the x axis and 480 on y Jul 10 18:29:04 when I touch point 120,100 current passes through "cable" no 120 on x Jul 10 18:29:10 and 100 on y Jul 10 18:29:29 harly matching analogy Jul 10 18:29:33 hardly* Jul 10 18:29:49 except for stantum maybe Jul 10 18:29:51 I do not know why we need a non-profit entity Jul 10 18:29:55 what's wrong up to now? Jul 10 18:29:59 can someone explain? Jul 10 18:30:36 qwazix_: you know a potentiometer, a resistive adjustable dial? Jul 10 18:31:09 I was just thinking that if I touch 2 points at the same time, we have 2x's and 2 y's so 4 possible touchpoints, so the resistive screen can't possibly know where I really touched Jul 10 18:31:17 the thing with a "carbon" ring and a moving "finger" contact sliding over it Jul 10 18:31:45 yeap Jul 10 18:31:51 qwazix_: there are no 'wires' Jul 10 18:32:00 it's a continuous plane Jul 10 18:32:13 a huge carbon film Jul 10 18:32:29 with one contact wire at top and one at bottom Jul 10 18:32:34 full length Jul 10 18:33:06 ok I think I understand, Jul 10 18:33:14 like a very wide linear potentiometer Jul 10 18:33:32 Impressive that it has so good accuracy... Jul 10 18:33:39 you place two of those 90° twisted over each other Jul 10 18:34:20 and you need only one value from the one and one from the other Jul 10 18:34:26 qwazix_: well, some don't have that good accuracy, that's why you calibrate screens Jul 10 18:34:35 and software does the rest Jul 10 18:34:38 ok Jul 10 18:34:52 yep, one value X and one Y Jul 10 18:35:35 I was playing with a craplet from china (70eur) which had a crap resistive which was btw multitouch, and I doubted it was stantum Jul 10 18:35:45 So I was trying to figure how it might work Jul 10 18:36:42 there are several more sophisticated designs that sometimes even bring crappy botchy MT Jul 10 18:37:26 And I thought, that maybe we can't know where the user touched, but we can narrow down the possible touchpoints to 4 (x1y1 x2y2 or x2y1 x1y2) Jul 10 18:37:58 enough for pinch and rotate. Jul 10 18:38:30 e.g when you touch two distant points, you short the distancy between tp1 and tp2 on X plane by Y plane, and vice versa. So both planes show reduced total resistivity depending on (amoung others) the distance of both touchpoints Jul 10 18:39:33 iirr that's called "8-wire" though in fact it still has only 4 wires to connect Jul 10 18:40:20 aha, and how does pressure sensitivity fit in this? Jul 10 18:40:22 there's also 5-wire, and whatnot else Jul 10 18:40:43 pressure reduces resistivity *between* the planes Jul 10 18:41:15 the more pressure the larger the touch area the lower the resistance from plane-X to plane-Y Jul 10 18:41:15 DocScrutinizer05: why can't i just install gcc and have it work, at least for ansi/posix stuff? :( Jul 10 18:41:50 Pali: i've been using kp51 for a good half an hour now, with the n900 in standby Jul 10 18:41:52 and no problems Jul 10 18:42:05 so in reality it is area detection more than pressure, I suspected that Jul 10 18:42:05 kerio: becuae I build a check for "user == kerio" into gcc Jul 10 18:42:13 you have my green light for pushing it to -devel Jul 10 18:42:30 If you press lightly with a wide object it has the same effect as if you pressed hard with the stylus Jul 10 18:42:37 DocScrutinizer05: no, seriously, why is there no libc6-dev package for the n900? Jul 10 18:42:41 qwazix_: yep, area Jul 10 18:42:46 installing the maemo sdk on the n900 is a bad idea, right? Jul 10 18:43:01 thanks I think I'm a wiser man now, and I have a new list of wikipedia articles to read :) Jul 10 18:43:12 :-) Jul 10 18:46:13 kerio, ok Jul 10 18:46:37 now I fixed packet-injection.sh script and working fine Jul 10 18:46:41 http://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~pali/kernel-power/packet-injection.sh Jul 10 18:46:57 Pali: so that's the script that the next version of cleven should use? Jul 10 18:47:03 $ ./packet-injection.sh load # load modules Jul 10 18:47:21 $ ./packet-injection.sh unload # unload modules Jul 10 18:47:22 btw, i had to uninstall the backported modules package Jul 10 18:47:25 did you add a Conflict for those? Jul 10 18:47:30 *Conflicts Jul 10 18:47:41 $ ./packet-injection.sh enable # enable by default packet injection on startup Jul 10 18:47:59 $ ./packet-injection.sh disable # disable autoloading packet injection modules on startup Jul 10 18:48:05 chem|st: (NPO) NFC. I guess another of estel's projects? Jul 10 18:48:19 kerio, no, we update that backport* package Jul 10 18:48:42 here is script for usb host mode for kp51 http://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~pali/kernel-power/usbmode.sh Jul 10 18:48:50 oh, i guess it depended on KP50 Jul 10 18:48:51 DocScrutinizer05, see ^^^ Jul 10 18:49:19 Pali: hm, pidof to check if a process is running? Jul 10 18:49:25 kerio, yes Jul 10 18:50:03 script will try to find correct usb speed Jul 10 18:50:15 neat Jul 10 18:50:23 wait, so HEN won't work now? Jul 10 18:50:30 it use kp51 bq27x and bq24 drivers Jul 10 18:50:39 kerio, hen working fine Jul 10 18:50:49 Pali: hey nifty brightness handling :-) Jul 10 18:50:52 kerio, it stop working if you load bq drivers Jul 10 18:51:00 oic Jul 10 18:51:17 yes, brightness, bme event.d is stupid it do echo 0 > ... Jul 10 18:51:29 well, the bq drivers aren't really ready for primetime as of now, right? Jul 10 18:51:40 bq drivers are blacklisted Jul 10 18:51:50 they working Jul 10 18:51:56 but BME must be stopped Jul 10 18:52:08 i agree Jul 10 18:52:11 BME must be stopped! Jul 10 18:52:52 I'm going offline now... scripts are uploaded, you can play with them :-) Jul 10 18:52:54 Pali: you probably want use start/stop -q Jul 10 18:53:05 or >/dev/null Jul 10 18:53:13 DocScrutinizer05, ok Jul 10 18:53:18 bye Jul 10 18:53:35 hold on, why do i want to use the hostmode script that loads the bq drivers again? Jul 10 18:54:03 becuase you're 1337 Jul 10 18:55:06 i'm really not :( Jul 10 18:55:11 my F-F adapter isn't even here yet Jul 10 18:55:50 DocScrutinizer05: how would charging while usbhost work? Jul 10 18:56:03 i mean, how do you connect the wallcharger? to what? Jul 10 18:56:25 check ~hostmode-charging Jul 10 18:59:00 DocScrutinizer05: http://enivax.net/jk/n900/charge.sh.txt is a 404 Jul 10 18:59:19 aaaw Jul 10 18:59:22 DocScrutinizer05: so you just use one of those adapters for extra power backwards, pretty much Jul 10 18:59:23 that's neat Jul 10 19:00:10 somewhere, one of the engineers that worked on the USB standard is in a corner, crying Jul 10 19:01:16 hello every1 Jul 10 19:01:40 got a broken n900 usb port and I`m in need of a bit of help Jul 10 19:01:48 ~usbfix Jul 10 19:01:49 usbfix is, like, http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=75920 - and **NEVER** use epoxy (unless you want to seal your device for underwater) Jul 10 19:02:29 bad ports, bad ports Jul 10 19:02:35 whatcha gonna do Jul 10 19:02:46 whatcha gonna do when they stop you from charging your n900 Jul 10 19:03:09 storm900: does it kinda sorta work if you push down on the plug? Jul 10 19:03:24 or something like that Jul 10 19:03:35 if so, then stop using the port, but you might be able to fix it kinda easily Jul 10 19:03:57 nah, past the point Jul 10 19:04:13 call a priest then Jul 10 19:04:58 hehe Jul 10 19:09:38 DocScrutinizer05: hm, one of the links in ~usbfix talks about epoxy :c Jul 10 19:10:21 do you think the "never use epoxy" been a random text block that sneaked in? Jul 10 19:11:00 yeah but they're still linked Jul 10 19:11:04 several wide people think it's futile Jul 10 19:11:10 wise* Jul 10 19:11:15 hehe Jul 10 19:12:14 a) elastic, b) cloggs receptacle, c) never rework again d) only sticks to green varnish, to what does green varnish stick? Jul 10 19:12:42 SOLDER THE CRITTER, MAN! Jul 10 19:13:30 and now, for something completely different: does backupmenu2 work on pr1.2? Jul 10 19:14:06 car manufacturers used welding since ~15 yeras ago. now they use very special glue sometimes, but you're not the car industry Jul 10 19:14:08 and can i use it to mirror my n900's installation on a n900 with a broken usb port? Jul 10 19:14:27 s/since/until Jul 10 19:14:52 yes, and yes Jul 10 19:17:09 storm900: well, you still have the last resort fix Jul 10 19:17:37 the pins below the battery Jul 10 19:19:23 can i connect to them without the battery plugged in to test the device turning on? Jul 10 19:20:08 no Jul 10 19:20:32 storm900: what you want to do? Jul 10 19:20:37 GUI installer isn't working either Jul 10 19:21:03 see if i can bring this n900 back to life Jul 10 19:21:28 the usb port is broken and the service guy said it can`t be fixed, he tried Jul 10 19:22:48 your service guy sucks Jul 10 19:23:02 it's a matter of soldering a new usb port Jul 10 19:27:33 the last resort is if you seriously MAIM the original usb port Jul 10 19:29:33 yeah just got off the phone with him, said the device is fine but he can not solder a port on and also had no ideea about the last resort fix Jul 10 19:29:43 so i guess I have to open this phone up Jul 10 19:39:44 hm, where's Pali? Jul 10 19:41:15 DocScrutinizer05: "upgrading" the package for modules is bullshit Jul 10 19:42:36 eh??? Jul 10 19:45:02 I've seen some weird shit in my day Jul 10 19:45:14 DocScrutinizer05: kernel-power-modules for kp51 is an upgrade for the same package for kp50 Jul 10 19:45:24 that means that you lose the kp50 modules when you install the kp51 ones Jul 10 19:45:28 *while you're running kp50* Jul 10 19:45:32 But fuck me, a function that just "stops" being executed, with no "return" anywhere near where it stops is ridiculously high on that list. Jul 10 19:45:50 kerio: so what? you just can't load new modules then Jul 10 19:46:04 until you also flashed kernel and then reboot Jul 10 19:46:20 it sounds un-neat Jul 10 19:46:39 it's an atomic transaction: kernel, kernel-flasher, kernel-modules Jul 10 19:46:49 +boot Jul 10 19:46:53 except that it should also include reboot, and you can't atomically reboot Jul 10 19:47:51 well, any user wondering why running acme-shit goes boom after he upgraded kernel and ignored the "you MUST reboot now" msg, can go lost Jul 10 19:49:22 look, the correct way would be to boot to an auxiliary system, a so called rescue-system that has own / own kernel and all, then mount the main system and do the updates there Jul 10 19:49:31 obviously no option for N900 Jul 10 19:49:58 DocScrutinizer05: or have the modules as a separate package Jul 10 19:50:18 bs, won't fit on / Jul 10 19:50:25 meh, the nokia packaging is stupid Jul 10 19:51:56 ~optification Jul 10 19:51:56 optification is a inventive duct tape workaround to reclaim space in fs root, done due to the fact the systeminit *and* partitioning is FUBAR, http://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/Maemo_5_Developer_Guide/Packaging,_Deploying_and_Distributing/Installing_under_opt_and_MyDocs, or ""OMG - I wish they looked into FHS and moved /usr to eMMC"", http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#PURPOSE2 bullet1,2 and fhs-2.3.html#PURPOSE16 dot3" Jul 10 19:53:22 funny enough lennart now propagates this all is nonsense and we don't need /usr anymore Jul 10 19:53:31 DocScrutinizer05: heh Jul 10 19:53:46 anyway, what do we need to mount eMMC at boot time? Jul 10 19:53:56 i mean, as early as the root Jul 10 19:54:32 i mean, /usr can't be put on the emmc partition because pulseaudio and other stuff is there, and they're required during boot Jul 10 19:54:41 basically a kernel with mmc driver built in Jul 10 19:54:43 but why can't we mount it before anything else happens? Jul 10 19:54:44 first of all Jul 10 19:54:46 i see Jul 10 19:54:54 and it doesn't fit? Jul 10 19:55:37 don't you think when there are problems withj PA in /usr then it's an indication there's sth wrong with PA rather than /usr? Jul 10 19:55:44 well of course Jul 10 19:55:57 I.E. http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#PURPOSE2 bullet1,2 and fhs-2.3.html#PURPOSE16 dot3 Jul 10 19:56:00 requiring a sound system for the boot process of a unix system is something out of a horror movie Jul 10 19:56:42 distro maintainer has to take care all the stuff needed during early boot has to be in /(s)bin, *NOT* in /usr/* Jul 10 19:57:04 yeah, we've been through this multiple times Jul 10 19:57:09 it always ends in "fuckin' nokia" Jul 10 19:57:13 and sadness Jul 10 19:57:26 the thing is, pulseaudio *should* be in /usr/ Jul 10 19:57:38 because it's a fucking audio daemon Jul 10 19:57:42 you don't need audio to boot Jul 10 19:58:00 but no, nokia needs the stupid shaking hands animation to have sound Jul 10 19:58:16 say "thanks you Nokia, for shaking-hands-bootvideo" Jul 10 19:58:20 ...does the date picker appear before emmc is mounted? Jul 10 19:58:43 nope, prolly not Jul 10 19:58:55 DocScrutinizer05: no, it's called hildon-welcome-default-logo Jul 10 19:59:04 :nod: Jul 10 19:59:09 i'm not even sure if hildon-welcome is actually needed Jul 10 19:59:20 anyway, it doesn't do much without any entry Jul 10 19:59:28 hildon-welcome probably is datepicker Jul 10 19:59:30 (i removed default logo because fuck that noise) Jul 10 19:59:34 hm, good point Jul 10 20:18:46 wtf, kernel-power-config doesn't work Jul 10 20:19:52 oh nvm, there was no default configuration saved Jul 10 20:30:29 aaaah getting a bit excited Jul 10 20:31:24 i i kinda twisted the usb port and the yellow light turned on, took it out and now I need my mind set straight, all I should need to do now is solder the usb port down to reinforce it, right? Jul 10 20:38:07 In principle, yes, if the board has not been damaged and ripped pads off. Jul 10 20:42:45 SpeedEvil: well, he managed to establish a flaky connection Jul 10 20:48:38 thanks you Nokia, for shaking-hands-bootvideo Jul 10 20:49:45 goddammit it's called hildon-welcome-default-logo Jul 10 20:50:11 kerio: you can get rid of 5 dots progress thing too. Jul 10 20:50:22 kerio: in fact, you can even put xterm there, Jul 10 20:50:24 . Jul 10 20:50:29 xeyes. Jul 10 20:50:39 It's all doing lots of things in parallel Jul 10 20:50:48 At the points of hands - it's doing lots of IO Jul 10 20:50:52 and it's really IO limited Jul 10 20:51:13 playing a small video at that point does not really delay the point at which the system is fully up Jul 10 20:51:40 SpeedyGhost: hands video was the first to go. Jul 10 20:51:52 SpeedEvil: hands video was the first to go. Jul 10 20:51:59 SpeedEvil: 5 dots next Jul 10 20:52:32 It would in principle be interesting to time the device in both cases Jul 10 20:52:36 just do not need that worthless shit to boot. Jul 10 20:52:42 SpeedEvil: I agree. Jul 10 20:55:17 In fact if you wanted to go hardcore you could get rid of openbox+pin request+'offline mode' dialogue. Jul 10 21:28:43 Hands-v32! Jul 10 21:28:48 My precious! Jul 10 21:29:48 hmm, need games for maemo Jul 10 21:29:50 wat play Jul 10 21:29:59 Tapan Kaikki! Jul 10 21:30:02 i already installed aisleriot Jul 10 21:31:04 also, why the hell do i only have 50mb of free space in rootfs? i had 80 Jul 10 21:35:50 kerio, it's an estimate. Reboot and it might rethink the space. Jul 10 21:35:51 du -ax | sort -rn | less Jul 10 21:36:28 Some apps don't really respect the mighty opt, either. Jul 10 21:36:51 optification is broken by design anyways Jul 10 21:37:02 Raimu: how the hell do you play this Jul 10 21:37:22 cehteh: Still no reason to chuck things randomly into rootfs. Jul 10 21:37:58 kerio: F* if I know, I used to play it on the PC ten years ago. :D Jul 10 21:38:32 well i just wasted 40mb of my daily ~300 Jul 10 21:38:34 :C Jul 10 21:39:13 I just installed some lightweight puzzle games on my n900, it is not a very good game device. Jul 10 21:39:22 kerio: Oh noez! Jul 10 21:39:33 also right, ubifs does compression Jul 10 21:39:40 Yup. Jul 10 21:47:04 ho ho ho Jul 10 21:47:10 errr Jul 10 21:48:10 pali's shellscripting-fu is ... mellow ;-) Jul 10 21:48:17 hello Jul 10 21:48:19 DocScrutinizer05: oh you Jul 10 21:48:34 what's the "correct" way to find out if a process is running, btw? Jul 10 21:49:31 well, that's one of the less bizarre things done in this plai's script: sth like if ! pidof $process >/dev/null; then Jul 10 21:51:00 * DocScrutinizer05 boggles at contaptions like "if $(cat $envvarfoo|grep -q "pattern" ); then Jul 10 21:51:17 it's especially weird because this man page tells me that pidof exits either with 1 or with 2 Jul 10 21:51:27 err Jul 10 21:51:34 * DocScrutinizer05 boggles at contaptions like "if $(echo $envvarfoo|grep -q "pattern" ); then Jul 10 21:52:02 kerio: eh? Jul 10 21:52:39 no, nvm Jul 10 21:52:48 * DocScrutinizer05 rises eyebrow on pidof(8) Jul 10 21:53:01 weird numbered list that got turned into 1 and 2 instead of 0 and 1 Jul 10 21:53:05 wtf is this sbin/root? Jul 10 21:53:57 maybe because no normal process got the perms to read other user's cmdlines from /proc? Jul 10 21:54:15 on some more sane / safe unix setups Jul 10 21:56:41 only with grsec Jul 10 21:57:09 DocScrutinizer05: it's the same binary as killall5 Jul 10 21:57:11 jacekowski: then whi is man pidof 8? Jul 10 21:57:20 why Jul 10 21:57:32 kerio: lol Jul 10 21:57:33 ok Jul 10 21:57:36 i have no idea why Jul 10 21:57:39 probably hysterical raisins Jul 10 21:57:49 anyway, killall5 is not suid root here on debian Jul 10 21:58:12 that would be pretty BAD Jul 10 21:59:44 trend is to deprecate suid all together Jul 10 21:59:57 of course Jul 10 22:00:19 basically there's little besides su that needs suid Jul 10 22:00:52 DocScrutinizer51: that's so you can find pid of a process Jul 10 22:00:56 DocScrutinizer51: by it's name Jul 10 22:01:13 jacekowski: it doesn't need to be suid Jul 10 22:01:17 jacekowski: I know what pidof does Jul 10 22:01:19 i know Jul 10 22:01:35 it's part of posix standard i believe Jul 10 22:01:43 and it's always been there Jul 10 22:01:50 jacekowski: I asked why it's in man group 8 Jul 10 22:01:57 DocScrutinizer51: wait Jul 10 22:02:00 pidof is busybox here on maemo Jul 10 22:02:04 ._. Jul 10 22:02:09 sure Jul 10 22:02:27 dunno Jul 10 22:02:28 everything is messybox on maemo Jul 10 22:02:57 well, 8 is for daemons as well Jul 10 22:03:03 and that's where pidof would be used Jul 10 22:03:11 as in, daemon startup scripts and stuff Jul 10 22:03:14 hmmmmm Jul 10 22:03:48 basically 8 is stuff you need to be root to use it Jul 10 22:04:23 nah Jul 10 22:04:41 8 System administration commands (usually only for root) Jul 10 22:04:47 usually Jul 10 22:05:35 anyways Jul 10 22:05:43 hmm Jul 10 22:05:47 reading processes cmdline is not a root only thing Jul 10 22:06:00 which is why passwords in cmdline are VERY bad thing on linux Jul 10 22:06:10 seems pidof comes with some more or less nasty options Jul 10 22:06:31 DocScrutinizer51: but it can be busybox-power! Jul 10 22:06:32 with more power! Jul 10 22:06:39 and stuff like swap priority Jul 10 22:07:04 hear the distant sound.... : Jul 10 22:07:15 ........ pling ....... Jul 10 22:07:21 ? Jul 10 22:09:54 no, i don't hear it Jul 10 22:10:05 and really, busybox-power is apparently a real thing Jul 10 22:10:09 each time you hear it, a useful answer vanished from this universe Jul 10 22:10:15 i haven't really risked installing it, because it'll probably break stuff Jul 10 22:10:31 but it's a less messy messybox, in -devel Jul 10 22:10:46 actually even when you don't listen, it still vanishes Jul 10 22:10:56 DocScrutinizer51: and not to forget... god kills a kitten Jul 10 22:16:32 and takes a token out of kerio's jar Jul 10 22:18:35 kerio: actually I noticed you already sufferend from recoil, when I ignored a potentially meaningful question of yours a few hours ago, as you placed yourself into troll-mode-tagged mode on my screen, two posts before Jul 10 22:19:17 hm, which one? Jul 10 22:19:35 nah, I CBA to scan backscroll to spot it now Jul 10 22:19:50 it's ok, i'll just stop asking you questions Jul 10 22:19:59 up to you Jul 10 22:20:35 a hint: I *guess* it's been over at #harmattan Jul 10 22:20:59 that would be extremely unlikely Jul 10 22:21:04 because i'm not in #harmattan Jul 10 22:21:58 ooh, i think it was something related to charging while in host mode Jul 10 22:22:01 yeah, I guess it was #maemo-ssu Jul 10 22:22:11 I mixed things up Jul 10 22:22:39 argh Jul 10 22:22:51 * RiD gets mad while trying to make a loopable engine sound Jul 10 22:23:25 RiD: just go 'argh' into a mic, and loop it Jul 10 22:23:35 more like vrooom Jul 10 22:23:56 i would play the shit out of a racing game that has sounds made by a dude with his own voice Jul 10 22:24:13 * RiD steals idea and wins millions Jul 10 22:24:44 i crossfade the $BLEEP$ sound on the end with bits of the start Jul 10 22:24:57 then i cut the start the perfect place so that it is continuous but.... it never is Jul 10 22:24:58 * RiD rages Jul 10 22:25:50 just get a sound from the interwebs Jul 10 22:25:57 no, they suck Jul 10 22:26:06 RiD: your best bet are loops of <100ms length Jul 10 22:26:26 not very good on muscle car engines Jul 10 22:27:40 youtube Jul 10 22:28:38 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JI-txzG3BZQ Jul 10 22:29:51 RiD: btw sox is a nice tool. streching length of the sample to maybe 10 times while keeping pitch might help to find a good segment for loop Jul 10 22:34:26 Meanwhile: The city authorities of San Francisco have banned departmental purchases of Apple hardware after Cupertino dropped out of the Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool (EPEAT) green-standards scheme Jul 10 22:34:34 * RST38h laughs satanically Jul 10 22:35:30 it's probably cheaper for apple to lose that and well, not worry about environment Jul 10 22:35:50 The certification is largely bollocks. Jul 10 22:35:58 like any other Jul 10 22:36:00 indeed Jul 10 22:36:02 I mean - it has sane aspects. Jul 10 22:36:07 SpeedEvil: awesome video Jul 10 22:36:25 But in practice, recycleability in terms of removing components nowadays is essentially meaningless. Jul 10 22:39:02 RiD: (loop sound) I think I recall several audio editors have support functions to find optimal looping points in sound samples Jul 10 22:41:14 the better ones have a way to define windows for start end end of loop, and the function will try to find two sequences which sounds alike in those both windows Jul 10 22:41:31 s/end end/and end/. Jul 10 22:42:20 then set the point for crossfade exactly in the middle of both sequences, and remix Jul 10 22:42:41 The right way is generally to do it in frequency space, as you can blur the ends easier. Jul 10 22:42:51 sure Jul 10 22:44:21 a "crossfade" in frequency domain is amplitude as well as spectrum, while in wave/time domain you can only fade amplitude Jul 10 22:45:05 think of it as "morph" for sounds instead of pictures Jul 10 22:45:50 calm down i'm still new in audio editing O_o Jul 10 22:46:29 have experience on photoshop but audio editing is still new for me Jul 10 22:47:17 basically once you learn synaestesia, it's all the same ;-D Jul 10 22:48:21 synesthesia* Jul 10 22:49:15 and no, that's only half kidding Jul 10 22:49:49 i need perfect pitch ears too :D Jul 10 22:50:48 actually once you look at your sound as a frequency plot, it's just a problem of how to bend this "picture" to a cylinder that doesn't have any visible dicontinuities Jul 10 22:53:27 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectrogram Jul 10 22:55:00 of course! there are 5 alternative terms, DocScrutinizer05 used none of them Jul 10 22:55:04 DocScrutinizer05 not easy to spot on engine sounds Jul 10 22:55:06 what Jul 10 22:55:15 oh Jul 10 22:55:41 spectrogram, Also known as spectral waterfalls, sonograms, voiceprints, or voicegrams Jul 10 22:56:14 I used "frequency plot" Jul 10 22:56:27 you were close Jul 10 22:56:40 (notice the little bit of sarcasm used) Jul 10 22:57:00 i'm nototrious for that Jul 10 22:57:17 (not sarcasm, though... sarcasm as well :-P ) Jul 10 22:58:43 spectral density plot would have somewhat been to the point Jul 10 22:58:57 well, that's why I gave you a decent URL instead Jul 10 23:04:36 btw, on a loosely related topic: all audio compression algos (like GSM, MP3) mostly profit from completely discriminating the phase info from original signal, only keeping amplitude and frequency vs time Jul 10 23:05:44 the rest is mostly quantization, plus a lil bit of compression ala gz Jul 10 23:06:39 and flac seems to be less cpu intensive than mp3 on n900 Jul 10 23:07:01 the story is different when i start the EQ Jul 10 23:07:04 quite logical, since it has to "create" less data Jul 10 23:07:54 basically in flac you only have a specialized compression, but no fft Jul 10 23:08:09 fft is cpu-heavy Jul 10 23:08:09 Also overlapped discrete cosine transforms instead of block by block Jul 10 23:08:12 i dont even know what fft is o_o Jul 10 23:08:25 fast fourier transformation Jul 10 23:08:38 or s/fast/finite Jul 10 23:09:04 nah, I think I mix that with FIR Jul 10 23:09:23 finite impulse response Jul 10 23:09:49 which is related to fft somehow, but still something different Jul 10 23:11:27 ShadowJK: yep, quite likely. Though I never looked into flac in detail Jul 10 23:11:43 err, I did, but that's like 5 years in the past Jul 10 23:12:23 I seem to recall I wondered wtf they do with stereo Jul 10 23:13:24 isn't it like they never do L+R, L-R before compression? Jul 10 23:13:47 i have no idea :D Jul 10 23:16:39 btw while phase is mostly meaningless for normal monaural audio, for stereo it is quite important. Particularly for bass Jul 10 23:17:13 which means..? :o Jul 10 23:17:55 doesnt flac doe fft too? .. just calcuclating the error, keeping it below the quantizattion limit? Jul 10 23:18:28 which means running stereo audio thru a fft equalizer that discriminates phase info might result in poor stereo localization/definition and weak bass since out of phase Jul 10 23:18:54 cehteh: nope, flac is meant to be lossless Jul 10 23:19:15 so it just does compression Jul 10 23:19:34 maybe that's why some N900 players (such as SOmeplayer) equalizers seem to have the 30Hz band "flipped", but in fact it's not. (??) Jul 10 23:19:46 cehteh: [11.07.2012 01:08:09] Also overlapped discrete cosine transforms instead of block by block Jul 10 23:21:35 On music that contains a lot of low-freq bass (w/e) boosting up the 30hz band will actually increase the bass, but on most songs it seems to reduce. Therefore, if you reduce it to -24dB you might actually hear more bass. Doesn't happen on rockbo Jul 10 23:21:37 rockbox* Jul 10 23:21:51 * DocScrutinizer05 once had a "Denon Audio Technical CD" with "speaker phase. the following signal is a 10 seconds white noise played in phase, then 2 s later out of phase" Jul 10 23:22:13 * DocScrutinizer05 would like to check what mp3 encoding does to that Jul 10 23:23:01 well, the more mp3 compressed a song is the more joined left and right seem to be. In my simple language :> Jul 10 23:23:35 yep, quite precisely phrased exactly what I'd expect to see, err hear Jul 10 23:24:01 read* Jul 10 23:24:20 d'oh. ^ ignore that Jul 10 23:26:24 well, also "read" - on any decent audio signal analyzer ;-) Jul 10 23:26:59 foobar has a spectrum vizualizer w/e Jul 10 23:27:22 audacity should have one too, iirc Jul 10 23:27:46 * DocScrutinizer05 fires a zypper install audacity Jul 10 23:28:25 \o/ already "i" Jul 10 23:29:12 "Hallo bei Audacity 1.3.13-beta!" :-(( Jul 10 23:29:49 what Jul 10 23:30:21 there's audacity2.0 since quite some time already Jul 10 23:35:35 https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?project=multimedia%3Aapps&package=audacity Jul 10 23:50:34 hi, how to open a pdf file from cli? osso_pdfview foo.pdf doesn't work... Jul 11 00:04:05 probably needs dbus cmd Jul 11 00:05:29 iirc all mime type project file opening is via dbus msg calling a proxy which starts the executable and passes the pathname/filename to it Jul 11 00:06:46 ...When a sufficiently large number of subjects are exposed to this effect, further complications arise in terms of mental health and the integrity of spacetime.

Jul 11 00:27:34 dunno Jul 11 00:27:49 O_o... Jul 11 00:27:52 but evidently filemanager opens pdf files Jul 11 00:28:18 yes... Jul 11 00:28:25 use dbus-monitor to get exact call to accomplish that Jul 11 00:29:36 I bet several other users here could give better advice, direct pointer to howto, or even command Jul 11 00:30:48 DocScrutinizer51, dbus-monitor's output is hard to understand... Jul 11 00:35:58 there's a lot of useless unrealted stuff in there. grep -C10 'your pdffilename' Jul 11 00:37:56 pedofilename :/ Jul 11 00:38:10 .pdf 's hidden message Jul 11 00:38:12 *.pedo?

It's a completely legitimate explanation Jul 11 01:35:59 flac has no dct I think Jul 11 01:37:00 I see you were discussing something else than I thought Jul 11 01:38:14 >>FLAC uses linear prediction to convert the audio samples to a series of small, uncorrelated numbers (known as the residual), which are stored efficiently using Golomb-Rice coding. It also uses run-length encoding for blocks of identical samples, such as silent passages.<< Jul 11 01:40:05 aha, I recalled something wrong: >> Channels can be grouped in cases like stereo and 5.1 channel surround to take advantage of interchannel correlations to increase compression<< Jul 11 01:41:00 I'd myself make them mono and code the mono channel and the difference separately Jul 11 01:44:42 voice codecs are kinda fascinagting in that they model the human soundproducing apparatus :P Jul 11 01:47:27 yup Jul 11 01:47:39 that's why music sounds awful via GSM Jul 11 01:48:57 but that's also the reason you can transmit pretty clear voice signals via 9600bps Jul 11 01:50:04 you wouldn't need much more to control the "muscles" of an atrificial throat Jul 11 01:56:26 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qciVXUHTN10 - a man with an artificial throat.
