**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Oct 29 02:59:58 2013 Oct 29 07:51:28 Good Morning (UGT). Oct 29 08:33:03 ~literal broken Oct 29 08:33:03 "broken" is "mailto:nothing@machine.cx -> http://machine.cx/debian/ or screen shots are at http://nivda.machine.cx or that's sid for you." Oct 29 08:33:23 ~#maemo broken is http://wiki.maemo.org/Community_SSU/known_broken_packages Oct 29 08:33:24 DocScrutinizer05: okay Oct 29 08:33:32 ~broken Oct 29 08:33:33 well, broken is http://wiki.maemo.org/Community_SSU/known_broken_packages Oct 29 08:35:28 qwerty123 finally should ffiixx hhiiss kkeeyyss!! !! !! !! Oct 29 08:36:36 >>hav yu tried sumthing like thiss???<< OMG! Oct 29 08:42:49 merlin1991: please check >>E: Package liblzo2-2 has no installation candidate<< issue as reported by Malinux in http://paste.ubuntu.com/6319570/ ^^^^ Oct 29 08:43:26 bm not installable is inacceptable Oct 29 10:01:52 is it possible (with reasonable methods) to unmount /home? I have a fs error on mmcblk0p2. Oct 29 10:02:09 I can also boot nemo but it would be nice if it's possible from within maemo Oct 29 10:09:38 well, it is possible, BM is doing this - or almost this, it's simply not mounting /home since it's started in early bootup init process Oct 29 10:10:08 once maemo is completely started, it's virtually impossible to umount /home Oct 29 10:10:41 ~bm Oct 29 10:10:42 from memory, backupmenu is http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=63975 Oct 29 10:11:00 get it, you'll wonder why you didn't already :-) Oct 29 10:12:39 I think there also might be a way to force a /home fsck during next boot, by placing some flag file somewhere (ala touch /fsck-home <- this is not it) Oct 29 10:22:19 problem with backups is, they are always too old ;) Oct 29 10:22:33 but thanks :) Oct 29 10:23:17 I fscked it with nemo, lots of unused blocks. Let's see if he was able to fix it Oct 29 10:23:34 is this usually an indicator that the emmc is dying? Oct 29 10:24:24 I thought about moving maemo to the sdcard anyway as I read that new sdcard are usually faster than the internal emmc Oct 29 10:39:41 BM is not only about backups, it even has a fsck option Oct 29 10:41:26 eMMC has a 8bit interface, uSd has a 4bit interface. So unless it's about writing huge amounts of data, eMMC should be always faster than any uSD, no matter how fast the uSD may be Oct 29 10:41:27 ah okay, that's handy. I'll try it, thanks Oct 29 10:42:27 oh, hm. I read that here: https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Nemo/Installing#Nokia_N900 Oct 29 10:42:43 okay, they're saying "probably" Oct 29 10:58:19 http://motorola-blog.blogspot.fr/2013/10/goodbye-sticky-hello-ara.html Oct 29 14:47:14 anyone link that tv-out feature nokia demoed making the tv into a touch screen using the phones camera? Oct 29 14:47:48 or did i dream about that? :P Oct 29 15:00:52 umm Oct 29 15:01:14 that's not exactly easy to do Oct 29 15:01:33 so you probably dreamed it Oct 29 15:02:58 even with a clear unobstructed (by your body) LOS from cam to the screen it's not easy or not possible at all to actually tell apart touches from hoovering ofer the screen in 5 or 10cm distance Oct 29 15:03:23 when you look from the side of the screen you can tell a touch but you don't see where Oct 29 15:03:57 sounds like a big hoax or one of your dreams to me Oct 29 15:04:55 s/ofer/over/ Oct 29 15:05:43 what about that laser keyboard... Oct 29 15:06:21 that afaik worked with 2 cams and a lase projector - or even two Oct 29 15:06:44 there are touch screens working with 2 cams Oct 29 15:06:53 but not with one cam Oct 29 15:07:16 the 2 cams are mounted in two corners of screen Oct 29 15:07:30 usually upper right and upper left, I guess Oct 29 15:08:00 thus you can actually calculate position of finger on screen Oct 29 15:08:23 simple triangulation Oct 29 15:09:57 afaik the laser kbd works exactly same Oct 29 15:10:42 if it happens to work at all, I heard it's quite unreliable Oct 29 15:15:28 DocScrutinizer05: it was with n8, plug and touch Oct 29 15:15:30 it also has the advantage of a high contrast fixed image Oct 29 15:15:34 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBQle3y7YVQ Oct 29 15:16:45 looks a bit like a hoax Oct 29 15:17:22 it's a Wii-type motion/gesture detection, but I don't see how they, even theoretically, detect touch events Oct 29 15:17:58 I guess they're massively cheating in this video Oct 29 15:18:55 you eihter need a sensor in TV/LCD or attached to the human body that touches it, to detect a touch event Oct 29 15:19:28 no way a setup like visible in this video can do what they suggest it does Oct 29 15:20:54 you *theoretically* could detect the artifacts an LCD produces when you press it hard, to detect touch Oct 29 15:21:29 contemporary LCD are rather immune to those effects though Oct 29 15:21:40 what's with stereo plugs being too big to fit phones Oct 29 15:21:51 eh? Oct 29 15:21:56 i resoldered two koss porta pro 3.5mm stereo plugs, turns out they're too big to fit note 2 / lumia 1020 Oct 29 15:21:59 fits n900 / pc fine :p Oct 29 15:22:06 the tip is too big Oct 29 15:22:12 compared to a plug that fits Oct 29 15:22:47 err Oct 29 15:23:15 obviously noze2 has a nonstandard receptacle then. Maybe a 2.5mm? Oct 29 15:23:24 nope, Oct 29 15:24:13 honestly, what was your question? Oct 29 15:24:26 random blabbering Oct 29 15:25:04 too thick or too long? Oct 29 15:25:10 thinck Oct 29 15:25:12 thick Oct 29 15:25:37 there are known apple over-length 3.5mm plugs that tend to destroy standard device you force them in Oct 29 15:26:28 i bought it from http://www.vekoy.com/info_pages.php?pages_id=28 Oct 29 15:27:02 *shrug* Oct 29 15:27:04 http://www.vekoy.com/product_info.php?products_id=625 Oct 29 15:28:00 i need new earbuds anyways - the one i was using that came with the N800 fell apart Oct 29 15:28:41 one of them was not putting, dangling our from the cover, and the foam didn't fit Oct 29 15:28:54 shame as they had good audio Oct 29 15:29:18 bindi: prolly cheap chinese crap that used standard 3.5mm plugs and goldplated them, forgetting about the additional diameter Oct 29 15:29:24 ich konnte auch nicht0, Oct 29 15:29:36 echan Oct 29 15:29:42 scheiss Oct 29 15:30:54 http://sdrv.ms/1ch28rX left one fits, right one doesn't Oct 29 15:31:58 DocScrutinizer05: nah Oct 29 15:32:00 EWINDOW Oct 29 15:32:26 * DocScrutinizer05 waves Oct 29 15:32:39 it's actually a combination of arrow up (message history) and random letters :D Oct 29 17:35:26 how can i access SIM data? Oct 29 17:35:54 i have a SIM card that had its contacts deleted by accident Oct 29 17:36:10 i'm looking for a way to recover that data Oct 29 17:59:10 trx: USB SIM reader? Oct 29 18:05:37 sixwheeledbeast i dont have one Oct 29 18:05:57 i was hoping that n900 can emulate one :) Oct 29 18:06:31 if i obtain one of those i could access it like any card right? Oct 29 18:07:26 I have seen them for PC's I expect them to have software to recover contacts etc. Oct 29 18:12:15 i guess then i'll give it a try Oct 29 19:36:36 uh .. Oct 29 19:36:39 ~pkg Oct 29 19:36:39 well, pkg is http://maemo.org/packages/ Oct 29 19:38:22 yay, vagalume update Oct 29 19:42:23 odd, havent seen the certificate handling fix promoted (for the agps/SUPL server problem?) Oct 29 20:03:38 re certificates the Nokia SSU repo's have expired have they not? It seems a device my friend acquired on PR1.2 will not OTA update due to expired keys. Oct 29 20:04:10 ecc2g: do to mean in T8.3? Oct 29 20:08:14 err.. no..well maybe, dunno what package is what, but I'm using cssu-stable now... Last I read on t.m.o the supl.nokia.com problem was due to inability to read the right certificate on the n900 and there was some fix? Oct 29 20:12:09 oh well no there hasn't been a CSSU-S update for a while. I'd expect it in the next one if no issues with it. Oct 29 20:12:43 I have it installed on my CSSU-S so it works fine :) Oct 29 20:33:38 change year back to 2010 and Nokia SSU repo will work :-) Oct 29 20:38:03 in the end I got root and apt-get for him so he can CSSU. Oct 29 22:50:06 I have an old N900 that I would like to be able to use again what should I do to get the most use from it? The device is fully funtional just havent been used in years. Oct 29 22:50:58 Agge: update it and use it Oct 29 22:51:19 do nokia still make updates for it? Oct 29 22:51:33 community updates now. Oct 29 22:51:44 what bersion you have now? Oct 29 22:51:51 s/bersion/version/ Oct 29 22:51:51 sixwheeledbeast meant: what version you have now? Oct 29 22:52:11 probibly the last one that nokia pushed Oct 29 22:53:15 possibly not Oct 29 22:53:56 there have been security fixes in both Nokia and CSSU (community) updates Oct 29 22:54:04 ~getversion Oct 29 22:54:04 methinks getversion is input the following in a terminal "osso-product-info | grep OSSO_VERSION | cut -d "'" -f 2; dpkg-query -W -f='${Version}n' mp-fremantle-community-pr; uname -r" Oct 29 22:54:48 or Settings > About product Oct 29 22:54:53 i should have found it and started it before I asked the question :( looks like the bathery is drained so it wont boot right away :( Oct 29 22:56:19 ~flatbatrecover Oct 29 22:56:20 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. CAVEAT! Only works when ~rootfs is OK (no ~bootloop)!. Oct 29 22:57:57 hm thanks geting the stedy amber now but it is conected to a computer for power not the original charger Oct 29 22:59:14 Best to use charge if possible, or it may take a while. Oct 29 22:59:19 charger Oct 29 22:59:51 ok. funny that the original charger from the N900 is still my main phone charger :) Oct 29 23:00:37 ~cssu Oct 29 23:00:38 cssu is probably http://wiki.maemo.org/Community_SSU Oct 29 23:00:57 Reading while you wait :) Oct 29 23:01:16 thanks :) Oct 29 23:04:41 it begun to flash amber as fast as I conected it to the charger :) Oct 29 23:05:36 Nokia Hands? Oct 29 23:06:02 yeah Oct 29 23:06:16 booted now Oct 29 23:07:20 if you have not used in a while and there is nothing on there you need I would reflash to clean any buggy software etc. Oct 29 23:07:25 ~flashing Oct 29 23:07:26 hmm... maemo-flashing is http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_tablet_firmware Oct 29 23:08:42 When flashed with >PR1.3 you can install community update from ~cssu Oct 29 23:10:52 that sounds good might be some old sms that I would like to keep is it any good way to do that? Oct 29 23:11:43 default backup applcation can store SMS and contacts to SD Oct 29 23:12:42 aha Thanks Oct 29 23:13:28 remembered how I did to imput a "|" in the terminal :) Oct 29 23:15:02 Some widgets can be known to slow down the device. so best to start a fresh and only install what you need after reflash+CSSU. Oct 29 23:15:32 yeah last time I tried to use it it was realy slow Oct 29 23:15:47 There are multiple reasons for this... Oct 29 23:17:30 Unconfirmed leaky widgets, crappatches, devices memory bottleneck. Oct 29 23:17:59 One and two are simple don't install them Oct 29 23:18:53 the latter can be solved by CSSU-Thumb or/and putting swap on uSD. Oct 29 23:27:15 the about product say that the version is 21.2011.38-1 Oct 29 23:28:35 the command complained about dpkg-query not existing Oct 29 23:28:38 So that's the latest Nokia aka PR1.3.1 Oct 29 23:29:32 that's correct, that part of the command is CSSU only Oct 29 23:49:04 thank sixwheeledbeast now I know whare to start. I will let i charge over night and begin the new install tomorrow :) Oct 29 23:50:31 Agge: that is best :) CSSU install will abort if not fully charged. any questions you know where to ask. Oct 29 23:50:57 thanks Oct 30 01:24:26 hey anyone having any issues with facebook?? Oct 30 01:24:51 My fbcmd stopped working and so did my qutim !!
