**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri Aug 03 02:59:59 2012 Aug 03 03:01:15 I'm having a problem with my new n900, I was charging it, for the second time (first time was before flashing, I successfully charged it to "green" 100%) and all of a sudden it said I needed to recharge the battery while it was on the charger. Now it's booting and rebooting in a loop. Aug 03 03:07:54 does anyone have advice about boot loops like this? Aug 03 04:28:51 my n900 while I was charging it all of a sudden said it was out of juice, then it shut down, now all it does if bootloop on the charger, and off not turn on at all. I've only had it a day, and I charged it successfully once before. Aug 03 04:30:10 I guess I'll ask what to do on TMO if I can't get a quick answer here. Aug 03 04:41:43 http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=85842 Aug 03 05:27:16 EdLin: need a new battery? Aug 03 08:00:46 freemangordon, maybe I do need a new battery, knowing what I know now about cellphonesforever on eBay, they probably gave me a fake. Aug 03 08:13:01 what does it mean when there's a flashing red LED? Aug 03 08:13:58 throw it the farthest you can Aug 03 08:46:54 D: Aug 03 08:46:56 lol Aug 03 08:47:10 EdLin: it doesn't look like a good sign, anyway Aug 03 08:47:27 EdLin: does it feel swollen? Aug 03 09:19:06 kerio, no, not really. Aug 03 10:12:38 freemangordon: I'm considering enabling gcj in the toolchain. I only didn't do so to keep the size down. What do you think? Would other languages be useful? Aug 03 11:34:49 OK. I have an n900 and just got usb0 working from my laptop Aug 03 11:35:01 I can ssh in, but what is the pasword for the default user 'user? Aug 03 11:38:35 Also I have mobilehtspot 0.3.5, but it doesn;t work because the conntrack modules it comes with are for 2.6.28.10-power51 and I'm running the stock kernel Aug 03 11:39:20 wookey: use the kernel-power Aug 03 11:39:38 there are no default passwords Aug 03 11:39:42 yes. I worked that out and tried installing it Aug 03 11:40:03 but got a complaint that line37 of my suedoers file is invalid so it wouldn't install Aug 03 11:40:14 any ideas what's that's about? Aug 03 11:40:14 after installing the kernel, you'll need to reboot unless you know what you're doing Aug 03 11:40:28 this is why I want to ssh in so I don't have to type on the tiny keyboard :-) Aug 03 11:40:36 don't know what went wrong for you, root/users ssh works for me over usb Aug 03 11:41:43 so ssh user@192.168.2.15 (or root@) should let me in with no password? Aug 03 11:42:03 no, you are supposed to set the password on the phone Aug 03 11:42:05 neither work Aug 03 11:42:08 or use madde developer Aug 03 11:42:39 OK, so changing the passwd for user or root isn;t going to break anything else? Aug 03 11:42:44 you should be prompted for the user password when installing ssh server Aug 03 11:43:01 it should be fine Aug 03 11:44:06 OK. I'm in :-) Aug 03 11:47:16 do I need kernel-power-booting in order for kernel-power-flasher/kernle-power to work OK? Aug 03 11:47:39 or will just apt-get install kernel-power-flasher DTRT (mopdule whatever is wrong with my sudoers) Aug 03 11:49:38 OK, so the error on trying to install kernel-power-flasher is Setting up kernel-power-flasher (1:2.6.28-10power51r1) ... Aug 03 11:49:41 >>> sudoers file: syntax error, line 37 <<< Aug 03 11:49:43 /etc/sudoers.d/everybody.sudoers changes break sudoers Aug 03 11:51:47 and that file contians user ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/sudser-worker Aug 03 11:51:48 user ALL=(ALL) PASSWD: Aug 03 11:52:19 dpkg says no package owns that file Aug 03 11:56:19 OK. that second line was duff. removing it allows kernel-power-flasher to install Aug 03 11:56:31 having a linux phone is cool, it breaks in ways I understand :-) Aug 03 11:57:16 So I can just reboot now and everything should be lovely? Are there things I ought to know/do in case of boot failure? I'm clueless about talking to bootloader etc on this devce Aug 03 12:02:49 well, it still boots :-) Aug 03 12:04:42 does the power kernel use more power or is it just 'better'? Aug 03 12:05:09 i.e. is there any reason why I might want to set up multiboot so I can run stock easily? Aug 03 12:12:29 --use the kernel-power-- I always feel like watching starwars. In my book this is powerkernel, like green car. While in package naming it goes from more general to more specific, like kernel -> kernel-power, and car -> car-green Aug 03 12:12:55 use the power! lol Aug 03 12:14:28 DocScrutinizer05: Did you read the thread? Aug 03 12:14:37 oops not yet Aug 03 12:15:17 btw look at my nick ;-) Aug 03 12:15:49 where's the friggin "donate2 button? Aug 03 12:17:47 even on reading 2nd time I still fail to spot the proposed way of donation Aug 03 12:18:25 hmm, the main fature of this new kernel seems to be inability to use wireless or GSM internet Aug 03 12:19:25 vi_: please give me URL to donate via PayPal Aug 03 12:19:41 hm, but I can still make phone calls Aug 03 12:21:32 * jonwil wonders if there is a way to dump or packet log netlink communications Aug 03 12:22:51 sudser??? Aug 03 12:22:58 fscj sudser! Aug 03 12:24:18 wookey: :( Aug 03 12:24:26 fuck sudser, indeed Aug 03 12:24:33 wookey: you don't want to set up multiboot Aug 03 12:24:34 not that rootsh is better, mind you Aug 03 12:24:40 ~maemo-multiboot Aug 03 12:24:53 wookey: multiboot will slowly but surely wreck your nand Aug 03 12:24:56 dang, she's really out a lot lately Aug 03 12:25:03 (it reflashes the kernel at every boot) Aug 03 12:25:36 kernel-power, when it works, is better than the stock kernel Aug 03 12:25:40 OK. GSM network working now - looks like I need to re-get netowrk setting from operator Aug 03 12:25:54 kerio: I see. that's worth knowing Aug 03 12:25:56 for instance, it lets you use smartreflex Aug 03 12:26:11 and usb host mode Aug 03 12:26:16 and stuff like mobilehotspot Aug 03 12:26:25 and overclocking, if you suck Aug 03 12:26:34 ah, so the usb is OTG? Aug 03 12:26:42 and working injection, for wifi Aug 03 12:26:43 and do both I have the right cables Aug 03 12:26:44 not quite Aug 03 12:26:45 while smartreflex in itself is controversy Aug 03 12:27:06 wookey: not OTG, but host Aug 03 12:27:18 host mode is a lot more manual Aug 03 12:27:44 OTG >> usb-host, but you never will feel a need for the added cruft Aug 03 12:27:54 kp also has the basis for a future bme replacement Aug 03 12:28:10 fsck netsplits Aug 03 12:28:14 bme? Aug 03 12:28:17 hey vi_ Aug 03 12:28:21 * wookey googles smartreflex Aug 03 12:28:23 i has an otterbox :D Aug 03 12:28:25 the bot reliably blows chunks each single time Aug 03 12:35:45 vi_: ping Aug 03 12:35:57 vi_: double ping Aug 03 12:36:24 vi_: WTF is the paypal "Donate" button for zeq device??? Aug 03 12:36:50 hey DocScrutinizer05 Aug 03 12:36:58 i have an otterbox :D Aug 03 12:37:03 this thing is massive Aug 03 12:37:09 vi_: I have 20EUR waiting here allocated for the purpose, I DO NOT have an afternoon of time for following up on the issue Aug 03 12:41:20 * wookey failing miserably to make hotspot work still/win 44 Aug 03 12:41:45 yet/lose 42 Aug 03 12:43:51 DAFUUUUUQ tmo PM - what an epic fail Aug 03 12:47:26 wookey: is that qtmobilehotspot? Aug 03 12:47:44 DocScrutinizer05: I TMO PMd you my paypal address. Aug 03 12:48:19 zeq: it's this: http://maemo.org/packages/view/mobilehotspot/ Aug 03 12:48:33 yeah, now figuring how to read tmo PM, how to do a fucking paypal transfer without any proper donate button etc pp Aug 03 12:48:39 so now it runs, and loads modules which is good Aug 03 12:49:18 this whole shit costs me 20EUr plus 3h work = more than a new N900 worth Aug 03 12:49:27 wookey: that's mobilehotspot, not qtmobilehotspot Aug 03 12:49:30 i prefe tr Aug 03 12:49:31 er Aug 03 12:49:37 i prefer the former, though Aug 03 12:49:55 DocScrutinizer05: You go to paypal, you go to send funds, you enter my address and the value. Aug 03 12:49:59 vi_: why can't you get a proper Donate button like e.g. in MohammadAG's post#1 in usb-hostmode thread? Aug 03 12:50:25 vi_: I dafaq not even know how to go to paypal Aug 03 12:50:39 DocScrutinizer05: all you have to do is entry someone email address and click 'send money' - it's hardly rocket science Aug 03 12:50:40 I don't use paypal usually Aug 03 12:50:41 DocScrutinizer05: http://www.paypal.com Aug 03 12:51:00 *sigh* Aug 03 12:51:03 haha Aug 03 12:52:15 great, now I have to dig up the password for paypal on my old PC Aug 03 12:54:55 DocScrutinizer05: Sorry doc, when you said you would pledge 20euro, I did not think it would be a hassle for you to do it. Aug 03 12:55:54 whats the name of the package you use to log network packets? Aug 03 12:56:04 on the N900 Aug 03 12:57:16 jonwil: wireshark Aug 03 12:57:24 and to a lesser extent tshark Aug 03 12:57:33 wireshark is what you use to view the packets Aug 03 12:57:40 but what do you run on-phone to log the packets? Aug 03 12:57:50 ...wut? Aug 03 12:58:03 You run wireshark to log AND view the packets. Aug 03 12:58:42 If you do not want the overhead of wireshark gui you can use tshark, terminal program. Aug 03 12:58:51 no, I remember a command line program on the N900 that logs the packets without any GUI Aug 03 12:58:58 TSHARK Aug 03 12:58:58 it wasnt wireshark, it was pcap or something Aug 03 12:59:05 T Aug 03 12:59:05 tshark Aug 03 12:59:05 S Aug 03 12:59:06 H Aug 03 12:59:07 A Aug 03 12:59:09 R Aug 03 12:59:11 K Aug 03 12:59:46 aha, tcpdump is the one I used befoer Aug 03 12:59:48 before Aug 03 12:59:52 DocScrutinizer05: thanks for the pledge! I will edit the typo. Aug 03 13:00:18 so I will use tcpdump again Aug 03 13:00:43 DocScrutinizer05: Also I hate paypal as well, however it allows us to exchange monies without worrying about things like logistics and trust. Aug 03 13:01:54 vi_: for next fundraiser please look at e.g. my signature on tmo, or -even better - http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=866260&postcount=1 Aug 03 13:02:04 DocScrutinizer05: I shall. Aug 03 13:02:35 However this way it made it easier to stop the donations when we had enough. Aug 03 13:02:37 no need to send out email addr via tmo(! :-o) PM Aug 03 13:03:09 thanks for the donation DocScrutinizer :) Aug 03 13:03:25 said, done Aug 03 13:03:42 yw, thanks for contributing Aug 03 13:06:02 * DocScrutinizer05 idly ponders to port kde-wallet to fremantle, or sync kde-wallet with whatever passwd-vault app there might be on N900 Aug 03 13:08:50 well, thanks vi_ I now know my paypal password again ;-P Aug 03 13:09:06 np! Aug 03 13:09:20 DocScrutinizer05: was it "password"? Aug 03 13:09:38 close, but a near miss Aug 03 13:09:45 damn, it looks like you cant log netlink packets, at least not with tcpdump Aug 03 13:09:50 was it "password1"? Aug 03 13:09:51 probably not with anything Aug 03 13:10:16 *burp* Aug 03 13:10:26 tshark won't trace netlink? Aug 03 13:10:58 prolly only netdev huh? Aug 03 13:11:01 aha Aug 03 13:11:02 http://nowmovealong.blogspot.com.au/2011/06/monitoring-linux-netlink-traffic.html Aug 03 13:14:54 or maybe not Aug 03 13:17:39 bugger me Aug 03 13:17:45 * wookey is tethered over GSM Aug 03 13:18:02 it can work :-) Aug 03 13:19:34 A bit of fiddling to make it more automagic and I should be good to go Aug 03 13:19:34 what else? Aug 03 13:20:11 wookey: what exactly are you messing with? Aug 03 13:20:34 there's a wiki page howto for basically everything Aug 03 13:20:50 usually "there's an app for it2 even ;-) Aug 03 13:21:25 I wanted to make my phone give my laptop net access Aug 03 13:21:34 via USB? Aug 03 13:21:43 could do it via ppp but hten you need to know the runes Aug 03 13:21:53 so I used mobilehotspot Aug 03 13:22:03 but that needed a kernel upgrade to load its modules Aug 03 13:22:04 should work OOTB Aug 03 13:22:12 and then I had to get my sim working on the provider Aug 03 13:22:32 and then I had to get wicd to use the usb0 instead of eth0 Aug 03 13:22:39 afaik mobile hotspot comes with dependency to matching kernel Aug 03 13:22:51 DocScrutinizer05: that didn;t 'just work' Aug 03 13:22:51 so if you install it via HAM you should be good Aug 03 13:23:17 I used the standard gui installer and it didn;t upgrade my kernel Aug 03 13:23:32 just don't use crap like fapman, or apt-get which is for experts only who know they have to revert to HAM when anything goes awry with apt Aug 03 13:23:45 wookey: then that's a bug Aug 03 13:23:51 even a regression Aug 03 13:24:01 never heard of HAM Aug 03 13:24:09 afaik it actually pulled kernel in former times Aug 03 13:24:14 * wookey is new to actually messing with my phone Aug 03 13:24:17 Hildon App manager Aug 03 13:24:28 the default one Aug 03 13:24:39 OK. that's what I used Aug 03 13:24:42 the slooooow one ;-P Aug 03 13:24:55 you already spotted a regression I'd say Aug 03 13:25:08 poking on the terminal showed that the problem with was the module/kernel mismatch Aug 03 13:25:38 well, probably dependencies broke with PK51 update, not really any exciting new thing to watch Aug 03 13:25:46 So i upgraded today, which was pleasingly easy except that $something had put a duff line in my /etc/sudoers.d/ Aug 03 13:26:02 uninstall sudser! Aug 03 13:26:05 at least the upgrade checked rather than screwing things up - I was quite impressed :-) Aug 03 13:26:09 it's a brainfart Aug 03 13:26:54 I seem to need different config for hotspot use and ssh-to-phone use on the laptop end Aug 03 13:27:11 former uses dhcp, latter needs static IP config for 192.168.2.x Aug 03 13:27:36 hotspot creates a fake wifi-AP on N900 Aug 03 13:27:45 I guess I can fettle up the phone to procide dhcp and bring up the usb0 automatically Aug 03 13:27:59 it gives you a choice of wifi ap or usb0 conection Aug 03 13:28:08 I heard about that Aug 03 13:28:51 check wiki "usb-networking" page Aug 03 13:28:56 * jonwil is sure there must be a way to dump netlink packets Aug 03 13:29:06 I just cant find it no matter how hard I google :P Aug 03 13:29:10 which is about networking without hotspot/dhcp/whatever Aug 03 13:29:32 DocScrutinizer05: I've saved that page for messing once they take my net away - it seems comprehensive :-) Aug 03 13:30:17 jonwil: wireshark --help: -y link layer type (def: first appropriate) Aug 03 13:30:28 dunno... Aug 03 13:30:31 wicd is pretty stupid aboutswitching between eth0 and usb0. have to change config file and restart dameon Aug 03 13:30:54 network-mangler is better in this regard I hear. maybe I'll have to hold nose and try that Aug 03 13:31:40 now I just need to find wireshark for the n900 :P Aug 03 13:31:49 TSHARK!!! Aug 03 13:31:56 yeah or tshark Aug 03 13:32:24 ok, its in extras-devel Aug 03 13:33:04 ~ # apt-cache policy tshark Aug 03 13:33:05 tshark: Aug 03 13:33:07 Installed: 1.2.6-0maemo1 Aug 03 13:33:08 yeah Aug 03 13:34:03 * DocScrutinizer05 waves Aug 03 13:34:32 * DocScrutinizer05 kicks in infobot's direction, into a void Aug 03 13:34:50 damn netsplits, damn bot scheduler Aug 03 13:39:32 ok, tshark cant do netlink because there is no interface for tshark to connect to and log from Aug 03 13:39:40 or at least thats the impression I get from the manual Aug 03 13:39:55 remember netlink isn't sent like regular packets, its an IPC mechanism Aug 03 13:41:38 The only way I can think of to do this as of now would be to hack strace to grab the contents of each entry sent to sendmsg and recvmsg and dump to a binary file. Aug 03 13:41:46 and parse the results manually Aug 03 13:43:36 aha, I can modify libnl to do what I want Aug 03 13:43:41 and dump the data being sent through Aug 03 13:44:10 jr@halebop:/btr77G> tshark -L Aug 03 13:44:11 tshark: There are no interfaces on which a capture can be done Aug 03 13:44:13 WTF?! Aug 03 13:45:35 ~ # tshark -L Aug 03 13:45:36 Data link types (use option -y to set): Aug 03 13:45:37 IEEE802_11 Aug 03 13:45:39 (802.11) Aug 03 13:45:41 (on N900) Aug 03 13:45:52 yeah thats picking up the options for wlan0 Aug 03 13:45:57 thats what I see on my phone too Aug 03 13:46:37 I guess *shark needs a capture interface compiled in for netlink Aug 03 13:46:44 yes I guess so Aug 03 13:47:14 btw root helps ;-) Aug 03 13:47:18 halebop:~ # tshark -L Aug 03 13:47:20 Data link types (use option -y to set): Aug 03 13:47:21 EN10MB (Ethernet) Aug 03 13:47:23 DOCSIS (DOCSIS) Aug 03 13:48:23 I did find http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev/201103/msg00082.html Aug 03 13:48:31 which is someone asking about netlink and getting no answer Aug 03 13:50:11 rtmon anyway seems to work, you spotted that. Why are you not content with it? Aug 03 13:50:32 sure, it might be missing on N900 ;-P Aug 03 13:52:35 well, in the end *shark probably is the wrong tool for data over netlink anyway Aug 03 13:53:25 just like using gdb to grep in a file for a string was the wrong tool for the purpose Aug 03 13:54:46 ok, looks like iproute might help Aug 03 13:55:01 lets install that package Aug 03 13:56:01 hmmm no rtmon doesn't help Aug 03 13:56:06 its only for monitoring routing table changes Aug 03 13:56:13 jonwil: anyway let me know what you finally come up with, since monitoring netlink sockets is sth I'm interested in as well Aug 03 13:56:35 jonwil: after all it's the channel for kevents notifications Aug 03 13:56:39 yes Aug 03 13:56:56 it seems like no such logger exists Aug 03 13:57:12 udevadm monitor is close Aug 03 13:57:20 but not exactly helping Aug 03 13:58:57 seems like hacking libnl might be the way to go Aug 03 13:59:10 jonwil: since netlink socks are not bound to a device (like eth0) I guess there's no way except strace-alike to monitor this particular IPC Aug 03 13:59:23 if I hack libnl to dump the data, that might help Aug 03 13:59:27 all the *mon tools just open their own sock Aug 03 13:59:38 aiui Aug 03 14:00:43 the idea of netlink aiui being a one-to-many broadcast from kernel to all the clients that are listening to their associated socket Aug 03 14:01:20 of course also reverse messages getting transported through that IPC, form app to kernel Aug 03 14:02:09 mere handwaving since I never looked that deep into what netlink does Aug 03 14:03:19 jonwil: sure hacking libnl will allow you to trace the traffic of that one app that's linked against your libnl_hacked Aug 03 14:04:08 or - if that's libnl.so - you even might be able to monitor all apps that use libnl Aug 03 14:04:25 but there are way for an app to use netlink without libnl afaik Aug 03 14:04:33 ways* Aug 03 14:05:10 you also could hack kernel to trace all netlink traffic to syslog ;-) Aug 03 14:05:23 it probably depends on what you're after Aug 03 14:06:05 hey, maybe there IS already such kernel-borne tracing? you checked debugfs etc? Aug 03 14:10:12 you also could hack kernel to trace all netlink traffic to syslog ;-) Aug 03 14:10:16 it probably depends on what you're after Aug 03 14:10:18 hey, maybe there IS already such kernel-borne tracing? you checked debugfs etc? Aug 03 14:14:27 nope, cant find any kernel dumps to dump strace stuff Aug 03 14:14:31 I mean netlink Aug 03 14:14:59 :-/ Aug 03 14:15:43 if you just want to monitor a particular userland process, strace probably is your first choice Aug 03 14:16:00 but strace wont give me all the info from the netlink writes Aug 03 14:16:20 it won't? Aug 03 14:24:22 I am currently hacking strace to do what I want Aug 03 14:24:24 :P Aug 03 14:29:44 duh, strace needs any hacking? I think it just needs proper parameters and maybe a filter to select and format from output Aug 03 14:31:41 well that was useless Aug 03 14:31:46 I cant get strace to dump what I need Aug 03 14:31:54 I think hacking libnl is the way to go Aug 03 14:32:23 actually wait, I am not sure why I need to dump netlink in the first place Aug 03 15:04:20 getting closer to having a testable wl1251-cal binary Aug 03 15:06:47 jonwil: did you manage to work out the protocol? Aug 03 15:07:09 I have gotten the special stuff used to send nvs to driver yes Aug 03 15:07:18 its just netlink with some specific messages Aug 03 15:12:03 good work :) Aug 03 15:31:08 hm, bnf has a wrong sudoers.d file Aug 03 15:37:53 bnf? Aug 03 15:38:01 wtf bnf Aug 03 15:38:40 hi all Aug 03 15:38:43 and re Aug 03 15:39:03 does anybody know if Harmattan's backup really backs up everything BUT DCIM and music ? Aug 03 15:39:14 ECHAN? Aug 03 15:39:16 (It did not show any options to choose from before starting the backup) Aug 03 15:39:19 oh Aug 03 15:39:20 oops Aug 03 15:39:23 DocScrutinizer05: indeed :) Aug 03 15:39:29 :-) Aug 03 15:39:32 * sivang was sure he was in #harmattan Aug 03 15:41:13 DocScrutinizer05: a cute little program that displays battery info on a system notification Aug 03 15:42:09 so probably something that a) rapes your CPU and battery, b) messes with kernel and c) displays absolute nonsense? Aug 03 15:42:15 but the .desktop file calls "sudo bnf", and there's a /usr/sbin/bnf executable Aug 03 15:42:22 but the sudoers.d file refers to /usr/sbin/bnf.sh Aug 03 15:43:03 lol Aug 03 15:43:18 no, there's nothing running in the background Aug 03 15:43:25 and it doesn't mess with the kernel Aug 03 15:43:42 zeq1: n900...acquired. Aug 03 15:43:57 kerio: how do you like your otterbox? Aug 03 15:44:10 vi__: awesoem Aug 03 15:44:20 total monster size.

Aug 03 15:44:55 DocScrutinizer05: it just displays bq27200 data when you want to Aug 03 15:44:55 kerio: I nevertheless could come up with 3 reasons why it's flawed, in 5 minutes. You however already pointed to one of them Aug 03 15:45:15 and when you do...after you take it out the box it seems so sleek and delicate! Aug 03 15:45:31 vi__: hehehe Aug 03 15:45:37 yeah, and where from does it get that data? ha? haaa? from a bq27200.ko that breaks your system Aug 03 15:45:58 or then it does it same way as bq27200.sh Aug 03 15:46:01 huh... i2cget? Aug 03 15:46:12 ShadowJK: yep Aug 03 15:46:15 well, then it works Aug 03 15:46:32 DocScrutinizer05: oh you c: Aug 03 15:46:56 # Collecting data - from bq27200.sh by shadowjk, with few things added by me Aug 03 15:47:02 yep indeed Aug 03 15:47:06 I got a bq27k-detail.desktop - guess what it does ;-P Aug 03 15:47:23 oh god busybox arithmetics Aug 03 15:47:33 DocScrutinizer05: what bnf does, except you haven't shared it with anyone? Aug 03 15:47:41 exactly Aug 03 15:47:49 DocScrutinizer05: does it show battery stats in a nice yellow bubble?

Aug 03 15:50:03 DocScrutinizer05: i can try to guess what it contains Aug 03 15:50:21 I bet you succeed on first guess Aug 03 15:50:43 * RST38h moos Aug 03 15:50:51 * DocScrutinizer05 moos nack Aug 03 15:50:57 back even Aug 03 15:51:02 "user ALL: (ALL) NOPASSWD: /root/bin/bq27200.sh"?

Aug 03 15:55:20 yep Aug 03 15:56:29 * DocScrutinizer05 ponders stashing that red thingie away in a PCMCIA slot Aug 03 15:57:06 don't remove the trackpoint! how will you play enigma afterwards? Aug 03 15:57:23 YEAH I pushed it into the modem RJ11 receptacle. Never ever will come out again :-S Aug 03 15:57:36 D: Aug 03 15:58:37 oh well, who needs masturbator, or POTS modem (latter one prolly not even functional without windoze softmodem driver) Aug 03 15:58:55 There needs to be a special place in hell reserved for the guy who invented that red nub thing pointing device Aug 03 15:58:56 what an anachronism Aug 03 15:59:34 M O D E M - 56k LOLWTF Aug 03 15:59:48 vi_: :) Aug 03 16:00:25 even has an annoying green LED next to it, to tell me "here I am, eating your electricity for nuttin" all the time Aug 03 16:02:08 yeeha, the ETA for copying those 28GB from one place on HDD to another went down from 8h to 1h13 during initial 30min of copy Aug 03 16:03:56 jonwil: the clit mouse? Aug 03 16:04:12 clitmouse is pro Aug 03 16:04:24 kerio: with healthy fingertips, no? Aug 03 16:04:33 kerio: You will need it in about 4-5 months. Aug 03 16:04:38 while a killall aplay on the old PC amazingly froze the whole thing for ~5min, then freed up like 5GB of swap and cured knotify cpu load to 0% from ~50% it was before Aug 03 16:05:10 jonwil: Most IBM hardware seems to be designed by robots, for robots. You probably have not seen their PC RT and PS/2 mice... Aug 03 16:05:45 Besides, even current Lenovos always freak me out due to their similarity to old Soviet mainframe hardware Aug 03 16:06:38 vi__: what? Aug 03 16:07:01 RST38h: enigma is the shit Aug 03 16:07:06 and playing it with a joystick is even better Aug 03 16:08:25 freemangordon: I've discovered an interesting "feature" with -ffast-math. The old pre-c99 isnanf() macros (at least with our glibc) do not work as expected. I was debugging a hildon-desktop crash with fastmath enabled. Using the C99 replaceent isnan() works fine.

Aug 03 16:24:08 An australian has patent on the wheel, so you can't make circular phones either Aug 03 16:24:18 and apple has also patent on the wedge Aug 03 16:24:28 RST38h: MUHAHAHA Aug 03 16:24:29 maybe octagonal is still available Aug 03 16:25:00 I'll patent all roughly potato-shaped cases Aug 03 16:25:09 THEN you're really fscked Aug 03 16:25:30 hell, I'll patent the idea of having a case at all Aug 03 16:25:57 nokia has patent on the 'half frisbee in head' Aug 03 16:26:22 or the n-gage v1 as it was known.

Aug 03 16:37:23 it will sit flat on it's back and will be able to be used with stylus when on the table Aug 03 16:39:30 vi_: but why?? :P Aug 03 16:40:30 qwazix: right side Aug 03 16:40:56 left side is the camera and existing stand Aug 03 16:40:58 DocScrutinizer: left side as you look at the back cover Aug 03 16:41:12 I do what? I never do that ;-P Aug 03 16:41:14 right side as you hold it Aug 03 16:41:32 ;-D Aug 03 16:42:31 DocScrutinizer: you don't take self photos for faceshit?

Aug 03 16:53:04 or comes with "how to hold it right" instuctions just like iPhone ;-P Aug 03 16:53:57 and no way a one man amateur enterprise will build anything as sophisticated as that iPhone's integrated antenna design Aug 03 16:54:19 Evolution! Aug 03 16:54:42 Make a 3d printer that can do wire as well as plastic, print a dozen random candidates, and automatically measure them. Aug 03 16:54:45 DocScrutinizer05: i just want to see if he'll actually make a case that can hold two 18650s Aug 03 16:55:33 it will be glorious Aug 03 16:55:45 besides, the placement of the stock antenna is awful Aug 03 16:56:23 friggin line find . -user jr -exec chown -v jr2 {} \; takes forever, with 28GB aka 500k files Aug 03 16:56:37 will restart it without -v Aug 03 16:57:47 DocScrutinizer05: you can make it slightly faster by xargsing it Aug 03 16:58:00 sure about that? Aug 03 16:58:16 can't you configure xargs to run the same program with multiple arguments? Aug 03 16:58:39 I bet you can Aug 03 16:58:56 which probably actually would speed up things a bit Aug 03 16:59:13 though, chown is in cache already Aug 03 17:00:08 well, nuttin a pair of 2GHz cores wouldn't cut through in minutes, eh? Aug 03 17:00:24 done Aug 03 17:01:06 DocScrutinizer05: what's the -v switch?

Now I wonder if it will finally be usable..? Aug 03 17:07:54 and of course NONE of my settings from KDE4(!) of old laptop made it to KDE4 of that new user on new laptop where I copied the whole friggin 28GB of $HOME to Aug 03 17:11:48 zeq1: half a mb doesn't sound like a lot Aug 03 17:11:49 zeq1: Unlikely.

Aug 03 18:11:04 fun thing is that, apart from renaming $USER to "Everyone", I think there's at least one valid way to make windows show that :) Aug 03 18:12:21 Ok, I give up with DBus. There won't be any status icon right now. Grrr ! Aug 03 18:16:54 oh, but wait... maybe I should actually use the system bus. Sounds quite reasonable -- if not necessary -- for a daemon. Aug 03 19:23:50 Reflection in C++, didn't think it'd ever be possible. Luckily, I was wrong. Aug 03 19:25:45 teotwaki_: are you talking about qt or cxx2012?

Aug 03 19:27:17 teotwaki_: cxx2011 then ;) "... should be usable with any compiler implementing the C++11 features" Aug 03 19:27:35 javispedro: It's not actually C++11 based. Aug 03 19:28:08 javispedro: It just his implementation leverages some C++11 features, though, to be honest, it's C++0x he implements, not C++11. Initially, it was written on C++03, but he did a rewrite. Aug 03 19:28:57 I assume it's like what qt does, with some external parser Aug 03 19:29:41 except that Qt only provides introspection at best, no reflection. Also, Qt requires meta annotations littered in the source code, which this doesn't require. Aug 03 19:31:12 teotwaki_: I think it does, what do you understand by reflection anyway? Aug 03 19:32:35 javispedro: introspection is when you're able to deduce type information, in a generic fashion. For example Object & object = get(); object.hasProperty("bar"); Aug 03 19:33:26 reflection is the ability to modify the values, meta-data, properties and functions of a type at run-time, or compile-time in the case of compile-time reflection. Aug 03 19:36:38 ok, so I stopped at changing values and executing functions :) Aug 03 20:18:52 WTF with infobot?? Aug 03 20:19:14 another netspilt, another downtime? Aug 03 20:35:39 infobot: hi! Aug 03 20:35:41 hi Aug 03 20:35:45 awwww :3 Aug 03 20:36:29 does anyone know if there's a way to disable the accelerometer in enigma? Aug 03 20:47:28 DocScrutinizer05: what's the fastest way to drain the battery? Aug 03 20:54:09 ~bq24200.sh Aug 03 20:54:12 hm Aug 03 21:00:05 ShadowJK_: do you have your bq24200.sh script somewhere? Aug 03 21:00:12 i mean, hosted Aug 03 21:00:44 http://enivax.net/jk/n900/ ? Aug 03 21:01:49 well i didn't know about that :) Aug 03 21:01:54 ty Aug 03 21:02:35 is it in a factoid? Aug 03 21:03:06 no Aug 03 21:03:08 nafaik Aug 03 21:03:50 should it be? are you against it? Aug 03 21:04:23 I just never considered any of that stuff fit for general use by the general public Aug 03 21:05:53 k Aug 03 21:08:15 The advantage of people having to ask me where it is, is that when they 5 minutes later are full of questions I'm hopefully still around to answer :P Aug 03 21:08:55 hehe Aug 03 21:09:08 nah, just trying to calibrate the chip for my battery Aug 03 21:09:40 i'm trying to discharge it as fast as i can, gps enabled, screen at max brightness and 3g with crappy reception Aug 03 21:09:53 so i can go to sleep kinda early Aug 03 21:09:55 :D Aug 03 21:11:26 flashlight Aug 03 21:14:19 short-circuit Aug 03 21:16:41 * kerio has no idea how to remove the body part of an otterbox Aug 03 21:17:47 also, in an x-terminal: while true; do A=0; done Aug 03 21:17:52 for extra cpu use Aug 03 21:19:37 kerio: huh? fastest way to drain the battery? you're kidding me? Aug 03 21:19:54 well, to use it Aug 03 21:20:17 :) Aug 03 21:20:28 i really hope i can charge it afterwards :/ Aug 03 21:20:45 ooh you're serious Aug 03 21:20:55 I've had some issues charging from near empty with "weak" powersources Aug 03 21:21:12 i'm using the wallcharger Aug 03 21:21:16 lol, I've been doing "discharge quickly" all week for benchmarks Aug 03 21:21:18 DocScrutinizer05: i'm calibrating! Aug 03 21:21:28 kerio: increase power comsumption to max ;-P Aug 03 21:21:34 backlight to max Aug 03 21:21:38 that's what i'm doing Aug 03 21:21:47 but i'm kinda sleepy! Aug 03 21:21:47 speakers at max volume Aug 03 21:22:01 vibrator to 100% Aug 03 21:22:09 naughty Aug 03 21:22:25 aaaaand of course send lots and lots of data out via 3G Aug 03 21:22:36 out? Aug 03 21:22:50 then play some video so the gfxaccel has something to do Aug 03 21:22:57 I keep a ping going, load google.com (triggers 3.5g). The ping keeps it in 3.5g Aug 03 21:23:04 out as in "to the internets" Aug 03 21:23:28 nah, that's possibly futile as it just receives data Aug 03 21:23:48 it also sends data! Aug 03 21:23:55 icmp echo requests! Aug 03 21:24:30 max TX consumption with DATA OUT plus concurrent phonecall (place phone to a speaker so it has some 'voice' to send out) Aug 03 21:25:31 same with wifi (though those are max 100mW while WCDMA are 2ish Watts) Aug 03 21:26:36 and yeah, place your device also into a tin box, so it has to ramp up TX power all the way to reach BTS/eNodeB Aug 03 21:27:04 as otherwise your 3G still might use less than WLAN Aug 03 21:27:15 ;-P only if you're extremely lucky Aug 03 21:27:33 tin box = my house and my hand Aug 03 21:27:34 don't forget torch/flashlight Aug 03 21:27:38 and camera Aug 03 21:27:43 ok, i'm just going to irc Aug 03 21:27:53 with max backlight Aug 03 21:28:03 Considering my ping time goes down below that of which my HSDPA-only phone gets in HSDPA mode, I think both HSDPA and HSUPA get activated on my N900, and in that mode powerconsumption doesn't change significantly with transfer rate IME Aug 03 21:28:03 (the cam IF sucks quite a lot) Aug 03 21:28:29 then enable boostmode and feed your 200mA max load to a convenient sink Aug 03 21:28:50 hell, 200mA*5V are another whole Watt Aug 03 21:29:59 ShadowJK_: I'm not expert enough to evaluate the WCDMA power consumption for different upstream data sitations Aug 03 21:30:09 SpeedEvil did empiric tests though Aug 03 21:31:00 seems you can get another 300mA load on battery with upload, on unknown OTA signal situations though Aug 03 21:31:45 possibly Aug 03 21:31:47 0.3 * 4 sounds sane though for WCDMA TX Aug 03 21:32:09 But I can get up to 1A by shading it :P Aug 03 21:32:13 wifi adhoc? Aug 03 21:32:14 might be up to 0.5 or even 1A in extreme cases Aug 03 21:32:15 er Aug 03 21:32:22 at 9km distance from tower Aug 03 21:32:23 what's the opposite of adhoc? Aug 03 21:32:36 sometime anywhere Aug 03 21:34:38 or did you mean infrastructure mode Aug 03 21:35:01 i did Aug 03 21:35:09 that has no powersaving Aug 03 21:35:44 infra mode has powersaving Aug 03 21:35:49 ad hoc doesn't Aug 03 21:36:04 what's the one without an AP? Aug 03 21:36:13 adhoc Aug 03 21:36:20 that one Aug 03 21:36:35 by the way, is there a way to do hostap on the n900? Aug 03 21:36:51 allegedly not, the chip forbids Aug 03 21:37:25 that's why hotspot and joghurt use adhoc fake AP mode Aug 03 21:37:34 * kerio shakes his fist at the chip Aug 03 21:37:50 joghurt? Aug 03 21:38:41 joikuspot Aug 03 21:39:05 joghurt sport Aug 03 21:40:49 http://www.giffits.de/ritter-sport-mini-joghurt-werbeartikel-74502.htm Aug 03 21:41:48 ritter is bad Aug 03 21:42:00 my 14 year old german cousin agrees with me Aug 03 21:42:08 omnomnom Aug 03 21:42:56 so is joikuspot Aug 03 21:44:09 a botch invented to ship around the fact that sybian doesn't support any proper networking, and then the whole shite ported to linux which actually _has_ proper networking (though not in stock kernel) - and YET they need their own kernel module afaik Aug 03 21:45:06 Yeah they're using their own kernel module to do generic packet injection into the stack, I think Aug 03 21:45:25 that's like inventing aqualung for mokeys transported in aquarium Aug 03 21:45:32 dafuq Aug 03 21:45:48 clearly cssu needs to stop that madness! /s Aug 03 21:45:59 Speaking of wtfness. I acquired an android tablet Aug 03 21:46:36 The powersaving is silly. All the clock widgets, including the "system status bar" one, were frozen for 3 days and didn't update. lol Aug 03 21:47:04 I was playing GTA3 and almost got late for work because the clock was frozen Aug 03 21:47:21 haha Aug 03 21:47:27 sure, blame it on android Aug 03 21:47:33 wtf of the week from my professional domain: a high-prio process spinning in a busy loop waiting for a low-prio process freeing up resources Aug 03 21:48:11 and no, this system won't do fair scheduling or anything like that Aug 03 21:49:04 ShadowJK_: watch same frozenness on N810 Aug 03 21:49:13 Never seen it on N810 Aug 03 21:49:23 the systray clock only updates when you touch the screen Aug 03 21:49:43 Like, under heavy system load, when unlocking screen, it shows stale info, but once system load clears up it updates? Aug 03 21:49:44 as do any widgets Aug 03 21:49:54 Not for me? Aug 03 21:50:02 nah, zarro system load Aug 03 21:50:12 just idling with screen never fading Aug 03 21:50:19 Never seen that Aug 03 21:50:36 Except with foreca weather app that only updates when you establish network connection Aug 03 21:52:42 sure, but then maybe you never had a chance to notice Aug 03 21:52:55 will your screen stay on while on charger? Aug 03 21:53:20 as that's the only situations where you can watch it Aug 03 21:54:15 no screen is off during charge Aug 03 21:55:48 I'm just trying to reproduce it, seems plain homescreen on while charging isn't sufficient Aug 03 21:56:34 no screen, or 'no, screen is..' Aug 03 22:00:01 hmm, seems a more tricky screwed case where the display of time just stalls - I'm definitely sure I've seen this 100s of times now, but now I can't reproduce it Aug 03 22:05:08 screen can be configured to turn off during charge or never turn off Aug 03 22:05:43 hm, apparently calibrating without bme is easy Aug 03 22:06:23 sure, bme shuts down before calibration threshold is reached Aug 03 22:06:44 ShadowJK_: well, not exactly Aug 03 22:06:51 I usually try to hit the calibration voltage at 300-400mA load, becauese that kinda represents typical load Aug 03 22:07:10 bme will shut down at 3198, calibration is 15 seconds below 3248 Aug 03 22:07:18 Well, sometimes it shuts down before, sometimes shutdown takes so long that power is consumed long enough to bring it below 3248 for long enough Aug 03 22:07:28 hehe Aug 03 22:08:04 meh, i have to bring it down from the resetted 2042mAh to a nokia BL-5J Aug 03 22:08:10 it'll probably take a couple of cycles Aug 03 22:08:33 iirc the 3198 threshold is without hald-addon-bme? I.e. bme will judge that userspace has failed to execute safe shutdown, and will do its own forceful shutdown at 3198-ish? Aug 03 22:08:45 \_o_/ Aug 03 22:08:45 do you want a shortcut? Aug 03 22:08:46 fukken bme Aug 03 22:08:51 which shortcut? Aug 03 22:08:56 one cycle Aug 03 22:08:57 i just stopped it Aug 03 22:09:01 ooh, neat Aug 03 22:09:03 but no Aug 03 22:09:05 don't care *that* much Aug 03 22:09:15 besides, i'm still using the standard battery indicator Aug 03 22:09:23 how would i do that? Aug 03 22:10:36 it's in the DANGEROUS folder anyways. write_ar and transfer ar to nac scripts. Edit AR to your best guess of battery capacity, execute. Charge fully, disconnect charger, immediately execute second script. Then do discharge to empty calibration cycle. Aug 03 22:10:48 Must absolutely be done without bme, without battery kernel modules, etc etc Aug 03 22:11:20 Though you can use bme to do "charge fully" if you want, but after that it must be stopped Aug 03 22:11:20 ShadowJK_: meh, i could consider it if i eventually move to a bigass battery Aug 03 22:11:27 yeah Aug 03 22:13:38 meh Aug 03 22:13:45 last measured discharge is 1700mAh Aug 03 22:13:54 no way this crappy bl-5j is 1700mAh Aug 03 22:14:28 ShadowJK_: :c Aug 03 22:14:30 i'm sad Aug 03 22:14:45 Single learning cycle does 1/6th step at most :) Aug 03 22:15:35 does this mean that it's actually worth it to reset the chip if you move to a big battery, because it resets at 2400mAh? Aug 03 22:15:49 probably Aug 03 22:15:56 or use my "shortcut" Aug 03 22:16:14 I reset when changing batteries anyway, to reset cycle counters Aug 03 22:17:17 how do you reset it? Aug 03 22:17:26 remove battery, wait for bupbat to fail, put battery in? Aug 03 22:17:43 bupbat isn't connected Aug 03 22:17:57 No I use i2cset to send reset command :P Aug 03 22:21:56 i see Aug 03 22:22:01 wtf, bme thinks my phone is charging Aug 03 22:22:04 even when it isn't Aug 03 22:22:08 :s Aug 03 22:22:10 fukken BME Aug 03 22:22:23 and fukken hald-addon-bme, i suppose Aug 03 22:23:20 oh god, it's in ACT_DEAD mode with no charger Aug 03 22:23:44 oh, phew, it turned off Aug 03 22:26:56 ShadowJK_: http://maemo.cloud-7.de/share-service/20120804_001.jpg Aug 03 22:27:06 sorry for the blurr Aug 03 22:27:20 wow Aug 03 22:27:25 but the widget updated? :) Aug 03 22:27:37 yep Aug 03 22:27:41 and the statusbar thing that i dont even have, didnt Aug 03 22:27:50 ShadowJK_: how do i kick bme in the head enough for it to start working again without rebooting? Aug 03 22:28:35 the whole statusbar seems frozen Aug 03 22:29:11 stop bme; start bme; stop bme; start bme; Aug 03 22:29:54 actually hald-addon-bme re-establishes the IPC afaik Aug 03 22:30:11 dunno, i dont really use bme Aug 03 22:30:23 and bme itself will open the i2c device to talk to the chips Aug 03 22:31:08 DocScrutinizer05: i tried that Aug 03 22:31:13 it still thought it was charging Aug 03 22:31:17 what do you mean by "start working again"? Aug 03 22:31:36 DocScrutinizer05: correctly report nothing plugged in as "not charging" Aug 03 22:31:58 umm, plug and unplug something Aug 03 22:32:18 start booston for a second, then ^C Aug 03 22:32:54 hm, i could've tried hostmode, i suppose Aug 03 22:33:05 the problem was hald-addon-bme i think Aug 03 22:33:19 sure Aug 03 22:33:39 it takes a while til IPC gets re-established afaik Aug 03 22:33:51 only tries once per minute or so Aug 03 22:34:06 lshal might help Aug 03 22:34:14 dunno Aug 03 22:34:46 I frequently wonder who and why shuts down screen-BL when you start bme Aug 03 22:35:08 rather idiotic Aug 03 23:08:17 freemangordon Estel_: please, hold on for a while 22:10 Aug 03 23:08:19 Estel_ no problem 22:11 Aug 03 23:08:20 Estel_ Aug 03 23:08:22 and I think that it's worth to use full potential where applicable, instead of going lazy and minimalistic, just for sake of it. Aug 03 23:08:23 22:16 Aug 03 23:12:03 and another one: Estel_ merlin1991, let me rephrase it - kp exist, because omap1 is not enough for 99,99% of users Aug 03 23:12:48 estel_ esists because otherwise 99.99% of aspirin would never get sold Aug 03 23:14:59 dafaq estel, if you're eager to use KP, so fucking just DO IT, don't pretend you hafe to fight for something in the name of 99.99% of other users who as well can just use KP if they feel like they need it! Aug 03 23:15:14 s/hafe/have/ Aug 03 23:15:16 DocScrutinizer05 meant: dafaq estel, if you're eager to use KP, so fucking just DO IT, don't pretend you have to fight for something in the name of 99.99% of other users who as well can just use KP if they feel like they need it! Aug 03 23:41:59 The above tests were with good signal, though maybe 3km from the antenna Aug 03 23:57:11 SpeedEvil: makes sense with those 0.3A Aug 03 23:58:58 I guess that tower is made to cover a large diameter area Aug 03 23:59:25 i.e. it's high enough to have good line of sight to your position Aug 03 23:59:43 DocScrutinizer05: can uboot be made to explicitly turn on the lcd backlight on start? Aug 03 23:59:54 umm yep Aug 04 00:00:03 basicaly why not Aug 04 00:00:11 cool, so feature request? :) Aug 04 00:00:29 I guess the _real_uBoot_ already has a command for that Aug 04 00:00:47 I find it hard to debug sometimes when the back light does not turn on after a too fast reboot Aug 04 00:00:51 not sure why its off Aug 04 00:01:24 however, since during uBoot probably charging isn't enabled at all, you may ponder twice if you want to increase battery load by backlight Aug 04 00:01:43 hmm, good point Aug 04 00:02:20 * DocScrutinizer05 finally off to mobile_mode for a beer Aug 04 00:02:32 I guess I can leave the phone off while charging Aug 04 00:02:45 and then attempt to boot it after battery is chareged a bit Aug 04 00:03:05 there's no such thing like 'off' while charging Aug 04 00:03:16 there's a thing called act_dead though Aug 04 00:03:40 the mode when you power off the phone from the menu? Aug 04 00:03:45 which basically is just another init runlevel Aug 04 00:04:07 no, it enters act_dead as soon as you plug in the charger Aug 04 00:04:12 when it been off Aug 04 00:04:42 so if battery is dead and I insert a fresh battery, what happens there? Aug 04 00:04:55 it boots up way beyond stage of uBoot Aug 04 00:05:09 ah ok, normal boot up Aug 04 00:05:34 so act_dead is the closest thing to a switched off n900? Aug 04 00:05:35 err, sorry. what do you mean by "insert new battery"? what shall happen? Aug 04 00:05:58 I was wondering if it really boots up into some init level to wait for the battery charger Aug 04 00:06:49 yep, basically act_dead is closest thing to switched off N900 whenever you got any charging device attached to USB. Still act_dead is way more close to a fully booted and running device than to a off device Aug 04 00:07:10 ok, act_dead is handled by nolo? Aug 04 00:07:19 no, it's not waiting for charger, the charger actually switches on the device Aug 04 00:07:31 ah ok, good to know Aug 04 00:07:51 off without charger actually is off Aug 04 00:08:17 with charger attached though the device is either on with display, or on without display aka act_dead Aug 04 00:08:18 if nolo is handling act_dead, might be fine for uboot to always on the backlight Aug 04 00:08:49 no, act_dead is a linux runlevel Aug 04 00:08:58 sth like init 2 or sth Aug 04 00:09:16 oh Aug 04 00:09:34 you could even have the device update via WLAN while "off" and charging Aug 04 00:09:48 see /etc/mce/mce.ini Aug 04 00:09:52 how does it enter act_dead before uboot loads the kernel? Aug 04 00:09:56 sounds magic Aug 04 00:10:02 it doesn't Aug 04 00:10:24 NOLO hands some bootreason up to kernel Aug 04 00:10:48 kernel decides whether to enter act_dead or rather do "normal" bootup to init 3 Aug 04 00:11:25 hmm Aug 04 00:12:32 the only situation where charger won't boot right into linux is flatbatrecover Aug 04 00:13:06 so, the kernel is actually loaded when the charger is plugged in, and that's before uboot Aug 04 00:13:12 you can tell from steady amber (the slowly flashing amber LED is already made by software controlling the LP5523 chip) Aug 04 00:13:29 no, that's abfter uBoot Aug 04 00:13:50 ok, I tend to associate uboot with the kernel selector menu, am I wrong? Aug 04 00:14:08 the sequence is ROMBL->xloader->NOLO->(uboot->)linuxkernel Aug 04 00:14:34 and linuxkernel then starts charging Aug 04 00:14:44 ah so the uboot payload kernel is in control then? Aug 04 00:14:55 yes Aug 04 00:15:06 that explains a lot Aug 04 00:15:48 explicit backlight on when keyboad slider is out then? :) Aug 04 00:15:58 sounds ane Aug 04 00:16:00 sane* Aug 04 00:16:29 when does pali come in usually? Aug 04 00:16:49 that doesn't show any regular schedule Aug 04 00:17:27 ok, I'll forward the request about uboot when I see him Aug 04 00:18:09 btw, do Android phones do the same with the act_dead stuff? Aug 04 00:18:35 quite possible Aug 04 00:18:48 though I never touched any android phone yet Aug 04 00:19:07 basically no device is charging in system-off state Aug 04 00:19:09 me neither, they're blasphemous :) Aug 04 00:19:46 ok, so dead battery means extremely bricked phone if there are no battery replacements? Aug 04 00:19:52 particularly since user expects feedback about charging(-progress) Aug 04 00:20:11 not yet Aug 04 00:20:17 ~flatbatrecover Aug 04 00:20:18 Remove battery for 1 minute. Insert battery. Plug powered Nokia wallcharger to device. Watch steady amber. Let sit and charge. Do NOT try to boot. After 30 min, you got either a) a booted up N900, b) flashing amber which means you can boot, c) steady amber going off - in this case start over again with ~flatbatrecover Aug 04 00:20:39 [2012-08-04 02:12:32] the only situation where charger won't boot right into linux is flatbatrecover Aug 04 00:20:52 hmm, how does flatbatrecover work? Aug 04 00:21:21 the bq24150 battery manager chip will try to charge battery to a state where system is able to boot Aug 04 00:21:31 you can tell that from steady amber LED Aug 04 00:21:44 steady instead of varying? Aug 04 00:22:04 this 'emergency charging' is restricted to a max bat voltage of 3.7V though Aug 04 00:22:09 yep Aug 04 00:22:20 all of this is good info, thanks a bunch DocScrutinizer05 Aug 04 00:22:26 yw Aug 04 00:22:41 does it work with USB charging from a laptop/desktop? Aug 04 00:22:49 or does it require the Nokia wallcharger? Aug 04 00:22:51 flatbat? nope Aug 04 00:23:06 requires Nokia wallcharger with D+- short Aug 04 00:23:26 any modified USB with D+- short will do? Aug 04 00:23:29 or rather, it won't charge at any reasonable rate without, iirc Aug 04 00:23:35 yep Aug 04 00:23:39 I have one on my laptop Aug 04 00:23:59 that "charging port" is working even with the laptop off Aug 04 00:24:21 carefully splitting the cable mantle and shorting white with green wire will do Aug 04 00:24:59 not that hard to do with easy to find micro usb cables Aug 04 00:25:17 once again, thanks for the awesome infos Aug 04 00:25:18 I even improvised a charger by shorting the 2 middle contacts of USB-F with a patch of alu foil Aug 04 00:25:48 I'll need to look at the USB pinouts Aug 04 00:26:09 D+ and D- are the midlle two of all 4 pin USB Aug 04 00:26:33 the outer contacts are +5V and GND Aug 04 00:26:46 o/ Aug 04 00:26:48 ok, good to know Aug 04 00:27:04 now I'm curious how it enters data mode when shorted Aug 04 00:37:32 022705 now I'm curious how it enters data mode when shorted)) not at all? obviously Aug 04 00:44:29 DocScrutinizer51: well, according to wikipedia, there is another called Downstream Charping Port Aug 04 00:44:43 I guess I have one of those on my laptop Aug 04 00:44:59 since I worked with usbnet over it before Aug 04 00:46:02 according to the harmattan flasher, it is a hub'ed USB port, so flashing tends to fail Aug 04 00:46:09 maemo flasher was fine though Aug 04 00:46:49 those so called cahrging USB ports usually are just delivering 5V also wehn PC is suspended or even off Aug 04 00:47:01 other USB ports tend to cause the n900 to say "Not enough power for charging" Aug 04 00:47:09 ok, that makes sense too Aug 04 00:47:56 I'm lacking any hackerspace to probe it Aug 04 00:49:35 you could probe with arbitrary USB stuff that has a LED that's permanently on Aug 04 00:50:01 a USB mouse Aug 04 00:50:30 yes, its on Aug 04 00:50:37 looks like you're right Aug 04 00:51:00 the charging ports also *might* implement soe cruft to deliver up to 1 or 2A and some ay to signal that. Aug 04 00:51:20 that's however not detected or even probed by N900 Aug 04 00:51:37 how much is the usual current draw? Aug 04 00:51:53 5v 900mA? Aug 04 00:51:56 0.5A max Aug 04 00:52:45 likewise for flatbatrecover? Aug 04 00:53:14 I noticed the Nokia wallcharger charges faster, or maybe it was my imagination Aug 04 00:54:27 USB vbus supply: 100mA max without any special voodoo Aug 04 00:54:45 500mA max after ENUM over data Aug 04 00:55:01 I was planning to build an external battery pack with simple wires Aug 04 00:55:19 'unlimited' for fastchargers signalled by D+- short Aug 04 00:55:19 so, it needs some logic to start charging? Aug 04 00:55:35 ah ok, short D+- and be done with it Aug 04 00:55:50 yep Aug 04 00:55:59 probably a good idea to to limit current to 1A, and a voltage regulator to 5v Aug 04 00:56:10 don't want no burning battery pack :) Aug 04 00:56:14 As for external battery pack, to charge N900, just short D+ and D-, and make sure your switchmode converter or whatever can provide enough current Aug 04 00:56:29 ShadowJK_: 1A is fine? Aug 04 00:56:32 yes Aug 04 00:56:53 nice, looks simple enough to step around a few 9V batteries Aug 04 00:57:43 Amusing trivia, my always-on PC has 6 usb ports. Only 2 of them can reliably charge N900, those 2 are on a PCI bracket. The pci bracket is connected to motherboard straight, but it also includes 2 capacitors on the +5V/GND rails. :-) Aug 04 00:58:05 9V is pointless, they don't store any energy worthwhile Aug 04 00:58:07 you might get away with 3 alkaline cells in series Aug 04 00:58:22 what's with the caps? bounce control? Aug 04 00:58:42 Stability? Aug 04 00:58:56 I was thinking 4x9v in parallel Aug 04 00:59:04 That's just stupid Aug 04 00:59:14 6 x aa in parallell makes more sense Aug 04 00:59:16 uh Aug 04 00:59:18 not sure if it'll hold more charge than 1.5v in series in weight Aug 04 00:59:20 and in series :) Aug 04 00:59:26 or 4 NiMH cells Aug 04 00:59:50 9V is very expensive on energy per cost basis Aug 04 01:00:02 well, the most important parts is getting the cells cheaply and easily :) Aug 04 01:00:06 You only use 9V batteries when space is a premium Aug 04 01:00:19 I'll remember that Aug 04 01:00:21 Otherwise, AAA and AA Aug 04 01:00:31 how about those giant 6V cells? :) Aug 04 01:00:44 fine Aug 04 01:00:52 But disposables are meh Aug 04 01:01:01 use 4 NiMH batteries in series and profit Aug 04 01:01:14 yeah, I should since they're pretty common Aug 04 01:01:50 6 or 8 AA in series, feeding a buck converter feeding n900 Aug 04 01:02:33 eh buck converter Aug 04 01:02:45 meh even ;-) Aug 04 01:02:56 while browsing random parts catalog, wtf is a battery authenticator??? Aug 04 01:02:58 Amusingly, I made a contraption for charging off of Li-Ion battery packs, and my biggest issue was that the USB extension cable I cannibalized used such thin wires, that I lost alot of power on that alone Aug 04 01:03:01 4 * 1.2 Aug 04 01:03:20 4* 1.44 Aug 04 01:03:38 4 * 0.8 is the variable I consider Aug 04 01:03:53 gotta use car jumper cables for better efficiency :) Aug 04 01:04:52 ShadowJK_: for your cable? Aug 04 01:05:16 I assume it was from power loss due to the crappy cable resistance Aug 04 01:05:41 jon_y, ues Aug 04 01:05:51 ShadowJK_: I'm talking about 4.8 .. 5.7V on USB Aug 04 01:06:19 DocScrutinizer, no I mean most generally available AA nimh will collapse to 0.8...1.1V at 1A load Aug 04 01:06:43 Not when new, of course, but subjected to half dozen cycles of abuse, they will Aug 04 01:06:46 duh what? Aug 04 01:06:58 So 4xAA direct is kinda dubious imo Aug 04 01:07:14 because you wont be able to get much energy out of the batteries before the voltage drops too low Aug 04 01:07:41 how do D cells compare to AA? Aug 04 01:07:51 they hold more energy Aug 04 01:07:55 have you tried some joule thief setup? Aug 04 01:08:01 its really hard to get it right Aug 04 01:08:45 its a high frequency DC-DC converter, iirc MHz range the last time I tried to design one Aug 04 01:09:13 it should suck the battery until it is dead Aug 04 01:09:20 deader than dead Aug 04 01:09:37 that's a buck converter Aug 04 01:09:38 Most "joule thief" things forget that the battery they're trying to use is only able to provide X watts, and you can get this X watts a X = Volts * Amps, if you have a 100% efficient converter. Aug 04 01:09:48 Nah joule thief is boost :P Aug 04 01:10:04 unregulated boost even Aug 04 01:10:12 :nod: Aug 04 01:10:22 buck/boost whatever Aug 04 01:10:31 heh, I was having trouble controling the available current Aug 04 01:11:01 Even if a battery has energy left, it isn't able to provide that energy at a fast rate Aug 04 01:11:43 joule thief however sounds like the right name, taking into account efficiency of such a buck/boost Aug 04 01:12:00 lol Aug 04 01:12:02 yeah, probably not worth the complication Aug 04 01:12:26 The original joule thief itself probably runs at around 90+% efficiency Aug 04 01:12:45 but it's "regulated" by the discharge into a LED Aug 04 01:12:54 * RST38h yawns Aug 04 01:13:23 Anyways Aug 04 01:13:32 I have 3 different setups Aug 04 01:13:49 1.5V -> 5V, 3V -> 5V, 7-18V -> 5V Aug 04 01:14:07 Coincidentally, that's also in order of efficiency, with least efficient first Aug 04 01:15:36 there has to be a reason why tool batteries are 6 cell, 7 cell, 10 cell Aug 04 01:15:50 rather than nn Ah Aug 04 01:16:27 Fewer amps are easier to handle Aug 04 01:16:58 For power tools, the added complexity of charging multicell packs is less than the pain of dealing with more amps on the motor driver side Aug 04 01:17:25 prolly Aug 04 01:17:58 (except for nicd and nimh packs, which you can just bruteforce charge, and then they die 6 months later, but warranty already expired so who cares lol) Aug 04 01:18:05 it's just amazing they seem to offer higher cellcount powerpacks for same tool Aug 04 01:18:40 The "charging" bit might be inside the pack Aug 04 01:18:51 A big part of it should be inside the pack Aug 04 01:19:03 If you want to avoid having 12-pin packs Aug 04 01:19:14 I'm wondering bout the discharge Aug 04 01:20:48 The ones I have, have a IC controlling a few parallelled mosfets, if the voltage drops too low, or if the current is too high, the IC shuts down the fets Aug 04 01:23:48 and likewise they probably control their motors va PWM so it doesn't matter if that 18V or 21V or even 30 Aug 04 01:29:26 Yes, most of them are brushed DC motors controlled by pwm Aug 04 01:39:07 Hi, recaller sucks for call recording, too low quality Aug 04 01:39:23 any other recommended? Aug 04 01:42:01 recaller is unique, seen no update since years, and could use some improvements and bugfixes Aug 04 01:43:22 It's kinda interesting anyway, when I hear on radio interviews with people in the US that have been conducted over cellphone, the sound quality is absolutely atrocious Aug 04 01:43:57 Similar situation in .fi, and the sound quality is only slightly worse than the radio station's own broadcast quality Aug 04 01:44:25 Maybe recaller was geared down to the quality benchmark of calls on US networks? dunno Aug 04 01:47:37 recaller needs some love from somebody like javispedro who actaully has a faint clue about audio routing and processing Aug 04 01:48:53 other than freerunner the N900 audio is mostly a white patch on the map Aug 04 01:49:34 spilled with bloody spots of blobs Aug 04 01:49:35 Is recaller open-source? Aug 04 01:49:41 yes Aug 04 01:49:49 I guess the author has been left from maemo Aug 04 01:50:04 And abandoned recaller :) Aug 04 01:50:25 * RiD reads the highly dramatic story Aug 04 01:50:28 * RiD cries Aug 04 01:51:08 recaller is good enough for normal voice recorder, but calling record sucks really, caller's voice sometimes is too low to hear Aug 04 01:51:56 And it doesn't auto-record skype's audio calling Aug 04 01:52:04 tom waelti Aug 04 01:52:11 nfc Aug 04 01:59:26 well the skype problem is easily fixed by adapting the dbus signals it listens to, but the recording path is quite a bit different for VoIP than it is for cmt based calls Aug 04 02:01:13 you (or recaller) need to tap the audio signal somewhere, on the way from source to destination. I guess that's been done by some method a guru from Nokia mumbled after his 3rd beer in a cloudy night Aug 04 02:02:47 http://5z8.info/illegal-guns-for-sale_q9r9rc_racist Aug 04 02:04:26 RiD: thanks but no thanks Aug 04 02:04:32 hi Aug 04 02:04:45 RiD: first warning Aug 04 02:04:54 Ok Aug 04 02:06:44 hi jonwil Aug 04 02:07:37 I think my wl1251-cal work is good :) Aug 04 02:07:47 \o/ Aug 04 02:10:25 later I will be cloning libcal **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sat Aug 04 02:59:58 2012
