**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed Jun 12 02:59:58 2013 Jun 12 04:13:04 guess what - I couldn't keep myself from doing the 100bucks preorder Jun 12 04:13:16 *sigh* Jun 12 04:13:38 btw the 40bucks is "SOLD OUT" Jun 12 04:15:05 preorder for what?? Jun 12 04:16:22 DocScrutinizer05: enjoy your Jolla shirt :D Jun 12 04:16:56 yeah LOL Jun 12 04:17:36 I probably have to wear it superman style since I never wear t-shirt only Jun 12 04:18:03 maybe they can also produce a red jolla slip Jun 12 04:18:15 which I could wear over my jeans then Jun 12 04:18:26 ;-P Jun 12 04:22:34 it's still highly annoying that the only info about "the other half" is: it will automatically switch sw skins (could be done by binary optical 5 digit "barcode" similar to camdoor on N900), it's available on many colors, it will snap on, and _only_ if I understood that noisy audio voice correctly in that presentation it *could* contain a large flash storage too Jun 12 04:23:15 DocScrutinizer05: not to mention, there's some kind of master-slave interface on it, apparently Jun 12 04:24:06 said interface is the mystery soup of the day Jun 12 04:24:33 and you know, I already wonder if the limited edition maybe has your name engraved in backside of "other half", like Nokia 6210 "special edition" had for that tiny plastic thingy above the microphone, and if maybe due to the increased effort to produce those, the limited edition will ship *later* than normal jolla phones Jun 12 04:26:46 rikanee: I watched that video where the guy swapped the back cover, frame by frame, to get an idea of the phone body backside where that "other half" snaps on and maybe spot some contacts or sth. They did a pretty good job to never really show that backside of phone, but the 2 frames where you might see something, it's all plain black, no contacts whatsoever visible Jun 12 04:28:43 DocScrutinizer05: yup, it's a total mystery how it works Jun 12 04:28:59 hmm, let's see - when *I* were to design that thing, what would I do? smal holes in plastic of phone backside, with goldplated testpoints behind, and pogopins on "the other half"? Jun 12 04:29:54 DocScrutinizer05: that's pretty much the only way to do it, unless they thought of something Revolutionary (tm) Jun 12 04:29:59 cheap but prone to break on awkward users Jun 12 04:31:59 anyway for silly simple things like wireless (inductive) charging, you need a few beefy contacts that can cope with a few Amps Jun 12 04:32:42 so no way you could use flimsy things like rubber bars as they are used to contact LCD to PCB Jun 12 04:35:25 anyway the mechanical contacts are only one aspect - way more interesting are the electrical specs. SPI? I2C? USB? ULPI? HSI? Jun 12 04:35:40 raw membus interface? Jun 12 04:37:13 USB for example would be rather unfortunate, since for instance the mentorgraphix musb-core in OMAP eats a 60mA only for being *enabled* Jun 12 04:39:08 membus you impossibly can get right regarding trace length signal propagation delays, particularly with such crap as contacts in between Jun 12 04:40:05 reflections/ringing and propagartion delay differences defeat the use of direct memory bus Jun 12 04:41:32 I2C was a feasible alternative, but for sure not for large flash memory (or did the guy say "flash" - as for taking photos?) Jun 12 04:43:52 HSI (http://www.mipi.org/specifications/high-speed-synchronous-serial-interface-hsi) would be an alternative, but then Jolla wasn't even allowed to oublish the electrical specs of this one Jun 12 04:44:10 s/oub/pub/ Jun 12 04:44:10 DocScrutinizer05 meant: HSI (http://www.mipi.org/specifications/high-speed-synchronous-serial-interface-hsi) would be an alternative, but then Jolla wasn't even allowed to publish the electrical specs of this one Jun 12 04:51:26 and to be honest I think 100EUR subscription to earn a 100EUR off the sales pricetag, plus a label "limited edition" and a cheesy t-shirt on top, that's not that outstanding a deal Jun 12 04:52:59 and then the "no obligation to purchase" ROTFL suuuure. I bet they happily keep my 100 bucks and say "no problem pal! you don't *have to* pay another 299.-. Let's smply forget about it" Jun 12 04:57:14 anyway it seems to me jolla *massively* improved on their website design. It feels way less kinky that last time I looked at it Jun 12 04:57:42 s/that/than/. Jun 12 05:05:00 what I already hate about the sailfish UX is the focus / prominent place of "feeds" Jun 12 05:06:45 as litter/facecock/ centric as the whole jolla.com site Jun 12 05:06:57 what about people who hate all that social shit? Jun 12 05:08:05 tbh sailfish has all the properties I hated in N9 from beginning Jun 12 05:09:06 or in short: I want my "desktop" back Jun 12 05:10:04 appstore my ass Jun 12 05:10:52 and even as one of 4(?) main views of the whole UX Jun 12 05:11:29 as if I'd waste 25% of my day surfing the appstore for new leete apps Jun 12 05:12:23 that's again eyecandy that is nice in the shop when testing the device, but gets annoying like hell after 3 months of daily usage Jun 12 05:18:42 optimized for a good first impression, neglecting true everyday usability / ergonomics Jun 12 05:23:59 maemo5 has 4 (CSSU: 9?) desktops for me that I can customize all the damn way I like, even placing a fullscreen feedreader widget on one of them, to mimic what sailfish does Jun 12 05:38:41 * ShadowJK uses 0 desktops Jun 12 05:39:14 8 have 3 xterms and "screen" though :) Jun 12 05:41:46 ShadowJK: I'm talking about phone Jun 12 05:42:02 N900, yes Jun 12 05:42:07 I'm also rarely using the desktops Jun 12 05:42:28 only for accessing my contact shortcuts Jun 12 05:42:38 or to start xterm (via shortcut) Jun 12 05:42:46 or xchat Jun 12 05:43:04 or to look at weather widget Jun 12 05:43:29 or access any of my microB bookmarks that I got on desktop#4 Jun 12 05:44:26 or to start the "phone" - since I still failed to figure how to open the *dialer* via pressing the cam button Jun 12 05:45:24 which actually is one of my most severe annoyances with N900 Jun 12 05:46:22 no direct access the dialer (the one with digit keys, *, #) via hw button, no redial by simply pressing dialer hw button twice Jun 12 05:47:33 if only dialer wasn't closed crap Jun 12 05:47:58 and contacts Jun 12 05:48:07 and calendar Jun 12 05:49:08 actually those apps being closed blobs defeated half of the purpose why I ever switched to a linux smartphone Jun 12 05:50:36 dialer is worse than the Nokia 6210, and I hoped for fixing the annoyances of 6210 in dialer of whatever FOSS smartphone I switched to from my 6210 Jun 12 05:51:18 but actually 6210 beats maemo dialer hands down Jun 12 05:51:22 usability wise Jun 12 05:55:48 is there a way to get the PUK of the SIM with n900? Jun 12 05:55:57 no Jun 12 05:56:05 you can't get PUK if the SIM Jun 12 05:56:14 * tx0h sighs Jun 12 05:56:15 of* Jun 12 05:56:34 your SIM issuer can tell you PUK, even via telephone Jun 12 05:57:48 the PUK is "hardcoded" and can't be changed, and in turn you can't query it Jun 12 05:57:52 afaik Jun 12 05:58:29 the 'phone' application on n900 is very slow and when it rings in the pocket you easily close the connection while touching the disconnect button. Jun 12 05:58:39 but unlike PIN (which might got changed by user) the PUK is known by your card provider Jun 12 05:59:31 is that what you annoys you too? Jun 12 05:59:46 I hardly ever have that problem, since the phone is locked (blank screen) as long as proximity sensor detects something near it Jun 12 06:00:34 and I carry my N900 in a holster/pouch Jun 12 06:00:37 but when it rings, don't you get the phone loaded? Jun 12 06:00:41 not in pocket Jun 12 06:01:00 usually not, since I never keep microB opened Jun 12 06:01:15 microB? Jun 12 06:01:24 web browser Jun 12 06:01:56 what are you doing when you get a call? Jun 12 06:02:38 accept or reject it ;-) Jun 12 06:02:42 or ignore it Jun 12 06:03:05 and turn device face down to mute it, when I decide to ignore Jun 12 06:03:13 but you get the phone app loaded, right? with the accept and reject button Jun 12 06:03:15 IroN900:/etc/event.d# uptime Jun 12 06:03:17 08:01 11 Tage 16:22 an, 0 Benutzer, Durchschnittslast: 0,00, 0,00, 0,00 Jun 12 06:03:18 IroN900:/etc/event.d# free Jun 12 06:03:19 total used free shared buffers cached Jun 12 06:03:21 Mem: 245540 242932 2608 0 9824 88884 Jun 12 06:03:23 -/+ buffers/cache: 144224 101316 Jun 12 06:03:24 Swap: 786424 113968 672456 Jun 12 06:03:28 still works absolutely normal Jun 12 06:03:54 11 tage is schon schoen Jun 12 06:03:57 loaded? yes, I see it popping up Jun 12 06:04:58 right, and then, in 50% of all cases, i manage it to hit the reject button while getting the phone from my pocket :-( Jun 12 06:05:33 as metioned before, it's locked when I take it "out of the pocket" Jun 12 06:06:01 and since holster, I grab it on the sides, not tapping the screen Jun 12 06:06:40 yes, it's locked here too, but the phone 'popup' appears even if it is locked or not. Jun 12 06:06:46 but yes, the accept and reject buttons are design failures Jun 12 06:07:02 they both should be slider switches, not pushbuttons Jun 12 06:07:44 you don't read me, the lock is from proximity sensor, not from me locking the device Jun 12 06:08:34 is it a special daemon which checks the proximity sensor? what do i need to install/configure Jun 12 06:08:44 you ever pressed a button with your ear? No? see, that's because of proximity sensor locking the screen as soon as sth gets near the screen Jun 12 06:08:58 it's default on all maemo5 Jun 12 06:09:35 of course screen unblanks / unlocks as soon as you take the device out of its pocket Jun 12 06:09:39 * tx0h sighs Jun 12 06:10:01 so you better don't grab it on back and front/screen Jun 12 06:10:13 but rather on the small side Jun 12 06:10:43 i usually try to. Jun 12 06:11:49 you're just Holding It Wrong© Jun 12 06:11:55 LOL Jun 12 06:12:04 moo kerio Jun 12 06:12:37 and there is only this standard phone application, right? Jun 12 06:12:59 i think it is also very slow. Jun 12 06:13:11 I asked several times if some gtk hacker could patch the buttons of dialer, so to make them slider switches (like lockscreen) Jun 12 06:13:32 yepp, would be smart Jun 12 06:13:52 with some patching of the binary, plus LD_PRELOAD we *could* fix that for dialer Jun 12 06:14:22 aiui Jun 12 06:17:33 tx0h: yes, there is only one dialer app, it's closed, and it's particularly slow on friggin auto-rotations. So nail it to portrait-always, in menu->orientation Jun 12 06:18:14 auto-rotate almost made me throw the N900 at the next wall Jun 12 06:18:42 you *inevitably* hit reject instead accept button, and vice versa Jun 12 06:19:39 at least wen you don't hold your phone upfront your face, to accept a call. I usually hold it horizontally and look down on it Jun 12 06:21:00 tilt it a tiny bit to the left (not usual for right-handed persons) and it auto-rotates from portrait to landscape while you try to accept the call Jun 12 06:21:23 ##@!!¶}\\}!!!#**!@@ Jun 12 06:24:10 seems I'm in a modd to rant today ;-P Jun 12 06:24:14 mood even Jun 12 06:25:50 IroN900:/etc/event.d# mission-control --help Jun 12 06:25:52 Aborted (core dumped) Jun 12 06:25:54 \o/ Jun 12 06:25:59 oh lol Jun 12 06:26:42 hehe, yes. this orientation thing is really worth a try Jun 12 06:27:33 wtf does mission-control?

Who is there? Jun 12 07:21:06 err, half of the HARM folks? Jun 12 07:21:13 :nod: Jun 12 07:22:06 shall I grep the garage db for you? ;-) Jun 12 07:22:50 hehe :) Jun 12 07:24:00 http://talk.maemo.org/search.php?searchid=15296680 was so lightning fast, I've not been the first one to query that Jun 12 07:24:43 probably, since I think there are going to be several maemo people over there Jun 12 07:24:46 honestly, the page got ready after 0.2s Jun 12 07:25:12 incredible Jun 12 07:25:22 0.04here :) Jun 12 07:25:42 :-S Jun 12 07:26:01 and I started to cheer about my 16MB DSL Jun 12 07:26:29 * DocScrutinizer05 goes getting fibre Jun 12 07:27:07 200, meh 1000 Jun 12 07:27:13 ;-P Jun 12 07:27:23 nah, I don't think its internet connectivity, we are in the stone ages here. Just the fact that you had just fetched that page Jun 12 07:28:00 but yeah, our server is a nice monster sometimes (when midgard doesn't suck) Jun 12 07:28:36 midgard always sucks! Jun 12 07:28:46 a guy wants to push another 32GB RAM onto us ;-) Jun 12 07:29:22 I also wait anxiously for the new switch Jun 12 07:29:35 Down speed: 25.32Mbps Up:9.21mbps, and I'm on the fastest thing a consumer can buy Jun 12 07:29:46 :( Jun 12 07:30:05 WUT? where from you get THAT upstream BW? Jun 12 07:30:24 down 12 up 1.2 Jun 12 07:30:33 err down 21 up 1.2 Jun 12 07:30:52 My "promised" BW is 50/10 Jun 12 07:30:56 vDSL Jun 12 07:31:37 but I rarely get more than 30 down Jun 12 07:31:49 hm down 31,5 up 1,9 Jun 12 07:31:52 must be the time Jun 12 07:32:03 up usually is nowhere near that value :D Jun 12 07:32:10 ugh. jelly. Jun 12 07:32:31 1.6 Mb/s down 0.4 Mb/s up. Jun 12 07:32:49 Can i make a bootable flash disk with my N900 ? Maybe using it's native removable-disk mode ? Jun 12 07:33:06 Simply connect to USB, and load SystemRescueCd ? Jun 12 07:33:23 Or, it's not gonna run like this ? Jun 12 07:33:45 well it exports the vfat over usb, but I fear it isn't fast enough with that and your motherboard probably decides that there is nothing to find before it's exported Jun 12 07:34:00 XATRIX: what you want is g_file_storage, as used in Backupmenu Jun 12 07:34:41 wait a bit, why not vfat-over-usb ? Jun 12 07:35:02 It uses the same USB2.0 as the standard flash-disk does Jun 12 07:35:36 XATRIX: it puts VFAT on its own LUN Jun 12 07:36:04 there's no MBR to boot off of in that case Jun 12 07:36:08 so, my MB BIOS won't gonna recognise it as a boot disk ? Jun 12 07:36:16 Ah...crap Jun 12 07:36:18 yes. Jun 12 07:45:47 I heard somebody did exactly that: a linux install "disk" on N900 Jun 12 07:46:55 was it ShadowJK? javispedro? Jun 12 07:54:25 iirc in the computer hadaikum there been "floppies" that also had no MBR but computers booted from them Jun 12 07:54:45 now we got superfloppy format on flash Jun 12 07:54:57 DocScrutinizer05: needs floppy emulation in BIOS though Jun 12 07:55:39 most BIOSes do just IDE emulation for USB mass storage devices, if a Legacy OS is specified Jun 12 07:55:55 hmm, possible Jun 12 07:56:23 too bad AMI and co. stripped out that option though, it used to be everywhere on P4 boards Jun 12 07:57:26 so today's floppy drives (if you find any) are gloeified (S)ATA HDD? Jun 12 07:57:39 DocScrutinizer05: BTW, have you seen the new Mac Pro? Jun 12 07:57:46 nope Jun 12 07:57:58 except maybe on my LAN Jun 12 07:58:00 ;-) Jun 12 07:58:07 DocScrutinizer05: floppy support is dropped in pretty much all boards today, USB booting is the new hot thing Jun 12 07:58:27 DocScrutinizer05: http://www.apple.com/mac-pro/ Jun 12 07:58:35 their assembly of the thing is mind-boggling Jun 12 07:58:41 hehe Jun 12 07:58:55 do I really want to know about it? Jun 12 07:59:09 ah, PXE. reminds me, gotta figure out a way to PXE boot wirelessly. Jun 12 07:59:42 DocScrutinizer05: they're marketing an almost unexpandable cylinder as their new workstation Jun 12 08:00:30 but, the interesting part is how it's so compact, and how it could actually become a thing in self-built PCs Jun 12 08:00:51 there's a giant central heatsink, and one turbine fan, which cools the CPU and GPU Jun 12 08:03:08 IIRC, they use ribbon PCIe risers to get things into interesting places to save space Jun 12 08:09:51 awesome Jun 12 08:10:37 I think last time I seen such weird stuff been in my Sony scoopman, which ahd a flexible PCB that got folded five times to fit into the case Jun 12 08:11:10 I never dared to disassemble that gem of engineering Jun 12 08:12:10 it still sits in my drawer unopened Jun 12 08:12:46 and still plays those micro-dat-cassettes size of a mini-sd Jun 12 08:13:43 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NT_(cassette) Jun 12 08:14:17 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Minimedia.jpg Jun 12 08:15:08 heh Jun 12 08:15:13 i have a nt tape recorder Jun 12 08:15:33 hey colleague Jun 12 08:15:39 nt-1 here Jun 12 08:15:43 they threw junk out at work so i confiscated it Jun 12 08:16:09 the nt-2 been way too huge compared to NT-1 Jun 12 08:16:18 even have the line-in adapter thingy Jun 12 08:16:21 that goes into the battery bay Jun 12 08:16:37 and some cassettes Jun 12 08:16:40 wow, I lost that Jun 12 08:17:11 yeah, i looked peculiar so i thought id grab it Jun 12 08:17:34 it's a really nifty mechanism Jun 12 08:17:54 DocScrutinizer05: that's a /tiny/ cassette. I thought my MO disks were weird. Jun 12 08:18:31 yea, i had never seen cassettes that small before Jun 12 08:19:28 I got one of the first available NT-1 in Germany Jun 12 08:20:08 it been a friggin epiphany Jun 12 08:20:28 ond only 1600DM Jun 12 08:20:45 iirc Jun 12 08:21:04 or was it 800? Jun 12 08:21:19 noo idea Jun 12 08:21:22 it looked expensive Jun 12 08:21:30 and the tale been that Sony paid 1600 for production, just to show off what they *can* do Jun 12 08:21:54 can't recall Jun 12 08:22:18 hm, my first Minidisc player was also really expensive. Jun 12 08:23:36 hey warfare! moinmoin!

Jun 12 08:41:27 warfare: also do you support the idea of getting 2 pcs of those 4TB drives? Jun 12 08:41:51 as I already anticipated, Rob is ignoring my mails completely Jun 12 08:42:29 so if we want those backup external thingies, we need a mail from you to Rob it seems Jun 12 08:42:58 oh... Jun 12 08:43:19 warfare: I got an announcement of a donation for 32GB RAM coming in Jun 12 08:43:57 or rather, 24 (we need to finance the 4th DIMM from other source) Jun 12 08:44:54 warfare: could you evaluate which DIMMs we'd want to get, exactly? Jun 12 08:45:47 I'd love to beef up the www VM RAM Jun 12 08:48:43 * DocScrutinizer05 idly wonders what been council's decision during meeting as of 2(?) weeks ago, regarding blade-c Jun 12 08:53:36 damn! the http://www.supermicro.nl/products/motherboard/Xeon/C600/X9DRT-HF.cfm has only 4 DIMM sockets per CPU aiui Jun 12 09:05:20 hmm, so we need another E5 too Jun 12 09:12:44 DocScrutinizer05: you can buy bigger DIMMs Jun 12 09:12:56 "I've fixed that (rounded up a bit, will take a day or two)." \o/ Jun 12 09:12:59 :-D Jun 12 09:13:15 rikanee: already pondered it Jun 12 09:13:37 and keep the 4 pcs 8GB for times when we want to populate a third blade Jun 12 09:14:19 but that would be almost 500bucks then Jun 12 09:14:27 just for the RAM Jun 12 09:15:38 and when getting a E5 for blade-c, we almost have "too much" RAM then (yes Iknow, there's no such thing like "too much RAM" ;-D ) Jun 12 09:25:08 oh lovely, that new clock ui has a .deb now Jun 12 09:44:46 i bet nobody here has the location of that status-menu battery plugin that also shows time left etc? Jun 12 09:44:54 not talking about advanced-power orso Jun 12 09:52:44 Lava_Croft: what is with new battery status menu plugin? Jun 12 09:54:16 I had this (i think) replacement for status-area-applet-battery that also showed percentage, time left etc Jun 12 09:54:36 from some dark corner of TMO, but i cant for the life of me find it again :< Jun 12 09:55:06 Pali: e2fsprogs from wheezy, sounds good? Jun 12 09:55:55 Lava_Croft: in cssu devel is last version of this status area battery which show more info Jun 12 09:56:17 freemangordon: I have git repo of e2fsprogs Jun 12 09:56:21 I will try to compile it Jun 12 09:56:23 apparently not present in cssu-thumb? Jun 12 09:56:46 Pali: packaging step fails :( Jun 12 09:57:18 will look at it Jun 12 09:57:37 Pali: though I am trying it in THUMB target, might work n ARMEL Jun 12 09:57:51 Lava_Croft: about cssu-thumb ask freemangordon Jun 12 09:58:06 Pali: BTW we should be very careful how we compile it Jun 12 09:58:31 test -z "`find /home/maemo/workspace/cssu/e2fsprogs-1.42.5/debian/tmp -type f`" Jun 12 09:58:32 make: *** [install-std] Error 1 Jun 12 09:58:46 WTF? Jun 12 09:59:17 nice, thanks Pali! Jun 12 09:59:38 Pali: the non-thumb runs fine, but I guess it wont hurt if freemangordon looks at it Jun 12 10:00:02 but atm i'll let him wtf at his computer Jun 12 10:00:04 :) Jun 12 10:12:46 Lava_Croft: BTW: I recently had to reflash during HAM screwing up a CSSU-thumb upgrade... no more CSSU-thumb for me then Jun 12 10:13:03 even though fault was at HAM (it did not ask for a modified config file, but just put the new version next to it) Jun 12 10:13:05 freemangordon: I know where is problem, rather move to #maemo-ssu Jun 12 10:13:15 normally dpkg asks on terminal such things... HAM skips these questions :( Jun 12 10:13:57 issue basically was that I had once changed rcS-late, restored it to original version later, but dpkg still thought it was modified (mtime probably) Jun 12 10:14:05 and put the new version next to it with .dpkg-new suffix Jun 12 10:14:23 on Debain, dpkg then asks the user for which version to use, show diff, etc. - but HAM did not Jun 12 10:15:04 also, even more funny - /etc/event.d contained more .dpkg-new files, where I didn't even touch the original files. So more HAM screwup... Jun 12 10:15:24 noticed this only later after the reflash in a backup i made before, though Jun 12 10:17:33 so for now I will stay on a CSSU flavor with less frequent HAM updates... until I know how to work around this Jun 12 10:17:52 if only HAM didn't auto reboot after a big upgrade was installed, I could just check manually for .dpkg-* files before reboot... Jun 12 10:31:36 oh, you also have those event.d/*.dpkg-new cruft? Jun 12 10:31:39 same here Jun 12 10:31:42 nasty Jun 12 10:32:28 but mine are definitely "old" since last update I ran been T7.1 Jun 12 10:32:52 iirc Jun 12 10:39:04 divVerent: >_< Jun 12 10:39:13 i reflashed yesterday, no troubles Jun 12 10:39:33 but yeah, welcome to the world where shit breaks :< Jun 12 10:45:05 [2013-06-10 22:02:32] hmm I wonder if files like ke-recv.dpkg-new and icd2.dpkg-new in /etc/event.d do any good Jun 12 10:45:06 [2013-06-10 22:06:54] http://privatepaste.com/efeb0ad74f Jun 12 10:45:08 [2013-06-10 22:11:57] http://privatepaste.com/a46c5d990c Jun 12 10:45:09 [2013-06-10 22:12:41] http://privatepaste.com/910207db60 Jun 12 10:45:30 CSSU never touched icd2 Jun 12 10:49:21 well, nfc Jun 12 10:55:41 would any of you remember the file or keyname of that drag-threshold in hildon/sapwood/whatever (pixels to move touchpoint before it gets noticed as drag action)?

Jun 12 15:23:34 I thought the only way to enable USB host mode was with power kernel? Jun 12 15:23:40 oh Jun 12 15:23:43 alright, weird Jun 12 15:23:58 i'm getting mixed signals but i'll just try it out and cry later when it doesn't work Jun 12 15:24:19 well USB host mode is not supported by hardware in the N900 but there are some workarounds Jun 12 15:24:35 one called "hostmode" Jun 12 15:24:49 well, i'll just install that thebn Jun 12 15:27:20 I guess you should read: te toqué corneta las dos Jun 12 15:27:21 err Jun 12 15:27:41 http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=65232 Jun 12 15:30:31 Sc0rpius: this is a known issue with builder, they are not being imported into the repo.

Jun 12 15:44:40 heh dunno, I have never tried using a gamepad with the N900 Jun 12 15:44:55 but I guess you need a game that supports it or something Jun 12 15:45:29 you can always try this: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rCV2xo-1goU/TuUWKNddYDI/AAAAAAAAAbM/32p5AKXRAHY/s1600/gamepad.jpg Jun 12 15:45:49 looks pretty sweet, but i already have a gamepad Jun 12 15:46:29 also i have decided to put my AVR days behind Jun 12 15:47:55 Hello!

I mean it's alright, but why the hell does it have to be all in java o_o Jun 12 16:00:25 i have a nexus7 Jun 12 16:00:32 apart from that OS its a fine tablet Jun 12 16:00:38 Lol Jun 12 16:00:38 tiss: just look for instructions on how to use your gamepad on linux Jun 12 16:00:52 JohnathonDoe: Android is just so heavy Jun 12 16:00:54 it might Just Work™ if some things support it Jun 12 16:01:07 if you see how it performs on quad-core cpu and then i compare to maemo on my n900 Jun 12 16:01:13 and i wonder where everything went horribly wrong Jun 12 16:02:01 And I don't get why they need a god damn JIT compiling everything to C bytecode to execute it Jun 12 16:02:09 I mean where the hell are decisions like this made? Jun 12 16:02:27 android always makes me feel like im using windows Jun 12 16:02:40 and i dont understand why half of the time my device is very busy with err Jun 12 16:02:43 'magic' Jun 12 16:02:45 I mean I despised Apple products for being stupidly priced and everything, but when you look at all the restrictions apple puts in that are usually a headache for the developer, they just end up being a more refined and polished product for the user. I am not saying I love apple all of a sudden now, but this horrid experience with android has made me pay attention to apple products. Jun 12 16:03:07 Apple is fine if all you want to do with your device is like 3 things Jun 12 16:03:14 it does those 3 things very, very well Jun 12 16:03:17 but not much more:< Jun 12 16:03:35 Hah exactly what I mean, but if you are capable of doing anything more, it will try it's hardest to be a god damned pain in the arse Jun 12 16:03:35 i love my wife's iphone for its awesome games:) Jun 12 16:04:00 You can't reduce the damned font size on an iphone o_o Jun 12 16:04:17 why would you have to?

Jun 12 16:09:14 but not that weird speedy gonzales game Jun 12 16:09:28 well i tried yoshi's island on n900 and it worked bretty good Jun 12 16:09:37 just trying to enable the joypad... Jun 12 16:09:38 because it freezes unless you emulate an incredibly weird race condition correctly Jun 12 16:10:03 and bsnes/higan needs about 3GHz to get that level of accuracy :D Jun 12 16:27:25 i dont recall speedy gonzales ever having starred in a game i would want to play Jun 12 16:46:17 Pali: I can not install call notify - missing python gobjects and python dbus - all repos are on.

Slow like molasses. Anticipate you got time for a beer or two until it finishes whatever it does Jun 12 17:29:52 hello all. My N900 Fremantle was being a HotSpot for about one hour and then shut down. Now, turning it on it just boots until the bright Nokia screen and then shuts down again. Jun 12 17:30:19 nanooq: most probably a case of your battery having died Jun 12 17:30:31 oh... Jun 12 17:31:38 wait, when I plug in the charger, it vibrates shortly, a dim nokia screen turns on for about 20 seconds, turns off and repeats. Jun 12 17:32:10 that means your charger is broken or usb is dirty Jun 12 17:33:02 (or usb is broken...uhoh) Jun 12 17:33:50 hmm... speaking of hotspot, I don't know why MHS doesn't work very well for me... Jun 12 17:34:33 It is improbable that three USB cables broke at the same time. Hence... Jun 12 17:34:51 my N900 usb-socket (the on on the phone) is broken? Jun 12 17:35:27 I have a whole bunch of microusb cables, only a select few can actually charge my n900 when the battery is dead... the others only will charge if the n900 can boot fully Jun 12 17:36:10 ecc3g: how do I identify such a holly cable? Jun 12 17:36:17 experimentation :( Jun 12 17:36:22 w00t??? Jun 12 17:36:55 I had to keep on buying cables and testing them... and threw out the ones that wouldn't do it Jun 12 17:37:09 What about the other possibility: the N900 usb is broken? Jun 12 17:37:16 very possible too. Jun 12 17:37:35 ecc3g: how do I fix / diagnose that? Jun 12 17:37:36 let's not think about that unless all other possibilities are exhausted... Jun 12 17:37:43 shoot. Jun 12 17:38:40 Well, I have to look into that another time. ecc3g and thedead1440 thank you very much for all the input. Jun 12 17:38:44 nanooq: ~flatbatrecover Jun 12 17:38:53 currently I'm using a LG-branded 5.1V 700mA wall charger because my broken Nokia AC10C won't charge my n900 from flat Jun 12 17:38:55 ~flatbatrecover Jun 12 17:38:56 Remove battery for 1 minute.

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 Jun 12 17:41:09 speaking of charger... +5 points for nokia and htc, -10 for apple Jun 12 17:41:44 got my work phone (nexus 4), charger charges n900 too (at 500mA) and n900 charger charges the nexus too Jun 12 17:42:01 the iphone wants usb enum Jun 12 17:42:07 which, for windows, means installed drivers Jun 12 17:42:11 apple can't do that... iphone chargers only charge iphones Jun 12 17:42:25 and iphones are only charged by iphone charger Jun 12 17:42:29 standard plugs are always nice.. but I think the microusb is kind of weak for the charge rates people want... Jun 12 17:42:50 yes... I doubt the plug design can do more than 2A Jun 12 17:43:06 and don't we want to go towards 5 or 10 A? Jun 12 17:43:19 wtf 10a Jun 12 17:43:24 why not Jun 12 17:43:25 and you're right. And I really think microusb shouldnt go over 400mA or so, it's way too flaky Jun 12 17:43:32 yes Jun 12 17:43:43 microusb looks like it can take at most 2A Jun 12 17:43:48 I thought uSB was ok to 1A Jun 12 17:43:53 so it should be rated at most 1A Jun 12 17:44:06 always need some headroom Jun 12 17:44:18 the contacts are too small, and el-cheapo cables are exactly that, el-cheapo... Jun 12 17:44:25 exactly Jun 12 17:44:48 even 1A on microusb does not strike me as a good idea, but seems to work Jun 12 17:45:19 maybe if we use all four inner pins for charging, ad the outer ground contact for the other way Jun 12 17:45:26 then it maybe can take 2A Jun 12 17:45:31 reliably Jun 12 17:45:37 If batteries are say 2Ah then 10A chargin is OTT IMO Jun 12 17:45:39 but that is not how usb charging works Jun 12 17:45:49 sixwheeledbeast: at the moment yes Jun 12 17:46:05 but there is development towards really fast charging devices Jun 12 17:46:10 sixwheeledbeast: it means that it takes 12 minutes to fully charge the battery Jun 12 17:46:12 i'd like that Jun 12 17:46:17 exactly Jun 12 17:46:21 we would love that Jun 12 17:46:32 but obviouslynoy with lipo/liion Jun 12 17:46:53 for dumbphones one could even use a capacitor to power the device Jun 12 17:47:04 charge for 1min every 2 days Jun 12 17:47:17 As you say you need the correct battery technology or they will not last. Jun 12 17:47:24 inductively :P Jun 12 17:47:28 would people accept charging 15 seconds every day for a dumbphone? Jun 12 17:47:45 ecc3g: yes, if it does not involve handling the plug Jun 12 17:47:57 inductive fast charging :P Jun 12 17:48:20 I'm not sure I'd like that even if it was that fast... unless the infrastructure was available everywhere Jun 12 17:49:16 but as for smartphones... Jun 12 17:49:23 i know they develop towards more Jun 12 17:49:32 but I do not trust more than 16A Jun 12 17:49:45 16A can get quite scary already Jun 12 17:49:54 Inductive charging would be useful Jun 12 17:50:03 but do we really want car starter like currents in our homes? Jun 12 17:50:12 why 16? Jun 12 17:50:16 that sounds like an arbitrary amount Jun 12 17:50:28 16 is the limit in german AC net Jun 12 17:50:29 my oven can use 16A ? Jun 12 17:50:36 Oh. Jun 12 17:50:38 that is how I know what 16A can do Jun 12 17:50:49 some heaters are 14A Jun 12 17:50:59 and get hot pretty fast Jun 12 17:51:06 16A AC at what voltage? Jun 12 17:51:13 also, I did some experimenting when I was small Jun 12 17:51:16 220v Jun 12 17:51:29 well, I had a powersupply up to 15A Jun 12 17:51:37 that can melt quite a lot already Jun 12 17:51:57 Is this for portable appliances or the whole home? Jun 12 17:51:58 even just at 15V Jun 12 17:52:01 0.5V @ 15A is isn't a lot of power, 220V @ 15A is quite a bit of power. Jun 12 17:52:09 but nowhere near what a car engine can generate... Jun 12 17:52:09 ecc3g: yes Jun 12 17:52:24 was talking about what it can do to bad contacts or too thin wires Jun 12 17:52:34 voltage does not matter for THAT Jun 12 17:53:07 I do not want a dirty plug that is only 15% connected to start a fire Jun 12 17:53:15 at 100A that can happen Jun 12 17:53:28 actually another simple thing to hasten power flow small contacts: increase voltage... Jun 12 17:53:31 even at 10A it already happens sometimes Jun 12 17:54:11 ecc3g: yes... increasing voltage is safer as long as the isolation can take it Jun 12 17:54:13 but it'd then be out of spec of USB. Jun 12 17:54:24 micro usb probably can easily take 50v 500maA Jun 12 17:54:33 42v to be exact Jun 12 17:54:42 above that it has to be touch safe Jun 12 17:54:45 yeah,... could charge faster with that... Jun 12 17:55:01 and not exceed the current limitations of microusb Jun 12 17:55:13 of course the charge circuitry needs to adapt... Jun 12 17:55:22 the plug however is also designed for smaller voltage Jun 12 17:55:36 as in, there may be microusb cables that cannot take 42V Jun 12 17:55:46 but most likely 99.9% can Jun 12 17:57:05 if your power supply shuts itself off on short, or hard limits current, nothing really bad can happen... maybe usb 4 gets higher voltage charging Jun 12 17:57:14 needs new plug or protocol for sure Jun 12 17:57:23 to not harm existing devices Jun 12 17:58:03 you have odd house wiring over there. Jun 12 17:58:21 also I suppose you can design a 2A plug in micro usb size Jun 12 17:58:30 by wider contacts and less unused space Jun 12 17:58:54 so in theory microusb 4 could use 42V 2A for charging, i.e. 84 W Jun 12 17:59:35 but any more I would consider insane at that plug size Jun 12 18:00:34 note: higher voltage on the cable would require the device's charging circuits to reduce voltage and increase current Jun 12 18:00:46 i.e. be its own switching power supply Jun 12 18:01:01 so, more complexity Jun 12 18:01:37 more to go wrong in the device IMO Jun 12 18:03:12 exactly Jun 12 18:03:23 most devices already have a switching supply Jun 12 18:03:28 there's also a lot more to go wrong in the n900, compared to a 3310 Jun 12 18:03:35 sure Jun 12 18:03:57 but if the device really transformed 42V 2A to 4V 21A... Jun 12 18:04:10 I'd really like to see a fuse there too Jun 12 18:04:37 wouldn't you want a fuse too, if you fed in 4v 21A straight into the device? Jun 12 18:04:42 yes Jun 12 18:04:49 no difference there Jun 12 18:05:30 with 21A you can btw charge a 2000mAh battery in 6 minutes... Jun 12 18:05:38 not even THAT impressive yet Jun 12 18:06:16 now find me a cable that carries 21 amps Jun 12 18:06:36 I have some cables which I have used for a lot more before Jun 12 18:06:39 that hooks up to a small electronic devices Jun 12 18:06:45 jump start cables :P Jun 12 18:06:49 hehe, yes Jun 12 18:06:52 divVerent, I was about to say Jun 12 18:07:02 do probably do HVAC work Jun 12 18:07:05 for 21A the "USB" cable would be a bit thick Jun 12 18:07:15 probably as thick as your PC AC cable Jun 12 18:07:21 a bit is an understatement Jun 12 18:07:34 the better solution is capping amps at around 5 and increasing voltage Jun 12 18:07:34 which is designed for 16A but has 3 wires, not 2 Jun 12 18:07:49 make a new 20v standard Jun 12 18:07:50 as I said... up to 42V are "allowed" Jun 12 18:07:57 oh nice Jun 12 18:08:08 without having to make it "untouchable" Jun 12 18:08:09 there is no reason that any small electronic device needs more than 42v at 5 amps Jun 12 18:08:25 GI_Jack: I currently agree Jun 12 18:08:26 isn't 42v what POTs uses for the wring? Jun 12 18:08:26 but... Jun 12 18:08:42 there is no reason why anyone would need more than 640k Jun 12 18:08:46 POT? Jun 12 18:08:54 electric toy trains? iirc yes Jun 12 18:08:56 plain old telephone system Jun 12 18:09:02 oh, POTS Jun 12 18:09:06 yes, that too Jun 12 18:09:30 if you touch that you already can feel it Jun 12 18:09:58 48v atleast here, doesnt really feel like anything if hand is dry Jun 12 18:10:33 no, not 42 Jun 12 18:10:42 but smething around that Jun 12 18:11:13 "40 to 60 V" in germany Jun 12 18:11:36 it usually shows as 50v here Jun 12 18:11:49 so this already has to be protected against touching Jun 12 18:11:54 which no USB plug does Jun 12 18:11:59 (or needs) Jun 12 18:12:57 the big standard usb plugs/sockets actually might already be considered touch safe Jun 12 18:13:08 at least I cannot reach the Vcc pin Jun 12 18:13:09 USB is already somewhat shielded against touching - for esd Jun 12 18:13:12 what does "touch safe" mean? Jun 12 18:13:24 ecc3g: ah, that is why Jun 12 18:13:41 micro or mini usb however allow touching the data or vcc pins Jun 12 18:14:09 pins are recessed though... Jun 12 18:14:10 kerio: country dependent... basically "you cannot touch that which has the voltage with your bare fingers" Jun 12 18:14:42 i see Jun 12 18:15:01 for micro usb I can at least get very close Jun 12 18:15:06 not sure if I touch Jun 12 18:15:30 for mini usb I certainly can Jun 12 18:16:00 anyway, stay below 42V and no need to worry about this Jun 12 18:19:44 <50V is Safe Extra Low Voltage Jun 12 18:20:48 Anyway it's not going to happen they have standardized to uUSB chargers @ 5v Jun 12 18:23:07 50 V seems a lot of V Jun 12 18:23:26 Most people charge overnight so 3-4 hours charging time is fine Jun 12 18:23:36 50V upto 1A Jun 12 18:24:34 42v is the range of safe voltage on DC? Jun 12 18:24:55 modern USB chargers suppport 5v at up to 2.1 amps Jun 12 18:25:38 5v dc is great because its pretty standard in electronics logic Jun 12 18:25:50 and there are already 5v rails everywhere in a computer Jun 12 18:26:16 but so is 12v, it'd solve a lot less headaches if they added a 12v mode, which in addition would work with automotive stuff Jun 12 18:28:42 Let the charger do the work not the device IMO. Jun 12 18:40:50 220 - 280v on my wall sockets, I should just plug my battery straight in one day for kicks and fun Jun 12 18:43:13 mmm Jun 12 18:43:35 you will get a kick Jun 12 18:46:09 Asus has a 15V mode over usb. Jun 12 18:46:21 *an explosion Jun 12 18:46:32 maybe Jun 12 18:58:56 ShadowJK, thats great, but what uses it Jun 12 18:59:00 and what else runs on 15v? Jun 12 18:59:38 12v is the same as cars, boats, motorcycles, and UPSs and already is wired inside motherboards Jun 12 18:59:58 20v is big enough to power laptops, and other DC input computer power supplies Jun 12 19:04:16 i hate my 18V UPS. Jun 12 19:19:46 UPS's don't have a DC connection anyway. Jun 12 19:21:57 no, but emergency haxoring with batteries becomes possible Jun 12 19:23:19 Well I have 2x12V 17Ah batteries in my UPS's Jun 12 19:48:05 why do notebooks get 19V anyway Jun 12 19:48:15 what in there can use this voltage? Jun 12 19:57:00 the battery charger. Jun 12 19:57:13 plus headroom for running the device Jun 12 20:43:50 GI_Jack; asus' tablets atleast. If you just connect something random, it gives 5V/1A. If you connect an asus tablet, it gives 15V/1A, and charges 3 times faster. Jun 12 20:46:05 Higher voltages gives less losses in wires, and you can transfer more energy without making wires thicker. Jun 12 20:47:58 ahh Jun 12 20:48:02 I know Jun 12 22:22:31 does somebody know how to install pyrcc4 on the n900? Jun 12 22:27:15 RoDi: Give me a sec Jun 12 22:34:54 RoDi: it should be in python2.5-qt4-dev Jun 12 22:36:28 ok thanks Jun 12 22:36:35 np Jun 12 22:40:37 mad_dev: it's not in it :/ Jun 12 23:20:02 RoDi: sorry about the prolonged response, I am sure not where it is or that if it is in fact available for maemo. Jun 12 23:20:16 *not sure Jun 12 23:20:55 If you could just tell me what you are trying to accomplish, I may assist you.
