**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Apr 05 02:59:58 2015 Apr 05 07:21:04 grammoboy: convert, hehe Apr 05 07:21:24 oops, he's not here Apr 05 09:26:31 it seems my 2nd hand n900 has some widget/app installed which checks how many hours it has etc. Apr 05 09:26:45 I want to remove it, but have no idea of the name of that app... Apr 05 09:26:50 ? Apr 05 09:30:30 it's a battery app Apr 05 09:30:49 dpkg -l|grep -i batte Apr 05 09:34:14 http://fpaste.org/207342/82264481/ Apr 05 09:34:45 bme-rx-51 probably Apr 05 09:34:55 nope Apr 05 09:35:08 batterygraph Apr 05 09:35:15 this is the most likely Apr 05 09:35:22 status-area-applet-battery Apr 05 09:35:24 or this Apr 05 09:35:41 also, your paste looks cut Apr 05 09:37:10 status-area-applet-battery is default maemo app i think Apr 05 09:37:54 right, then remove batterygraph Apr 05 09:38:01 that one is not installed Apr 05 09:38:09 heya, I have fix for this bug: https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2141 Apr 05 09:38:11 04Bug 2141: Allow setting priority in Jabber/GTalk Apr 05 09:38:14 is somebody interested in testing? Apr 05 09:38:21 :-) Apr 05 09:39:08 hmm Apr 05 09:39:18 then paste dpkg -l Apr 05 09:40:31 freemangordon ^^^^ Apr 05 09:49:56 http://fpaste.org/207347/27385142/ Apr 05 09:55:28 wow this a nice mpd client app for N900 https://github.com/jmechnich/qmpc Apr 05 09:55:36 i prefer oscp Apr 05 09:55:44 multiplatform, flexible, easy navigation Apr 05 09:55:47 :) Apr 05 09:57:18 and low on resources Apr 05 09:57:25 and high on features Apr 05 09:57:53 I filed a bug on qmpc yesterday, to be able to choose outputs, it's been done already Apr 05 09:57:56 :) Apr 05 09:58:24 so I get the sound out of my N900 and/or my RPI connected to my audio installation Apr 05 09:58:35 :) Apr 05 09:58:59 N900 is still alive :) Apr 05 09:59:05 i run oscp-core on my pc connected to hifi and remote on n900 Apr 05 09:59:20 and when im on the go i run oscp-core on n900 and run remote on n900 Apr 05 09:59:21 glad I bought my third n900 yesterday on ebay Apr 05 09:59:24 or just use ncurses Apr 05 10:00:08 but in the second case you play music from the n900 itself? Apr 05 10:00:13 yes Apr 05 10:00:32 ok, I play music from my NAS in both cases Apr 05 10:00:34 both core and remote can run on maemo and on pc Apr 05 10:00:51 and you can even run remote on windows pygtk Apr 05 10:01:02 is your nas running linux? Apr 05 10:01:12 yes Apr 05 10:01:15 x86 or arm? Apr 05 10:01:25 x86 Apr 05 10:01:32 then you can run oscp core there Apr 05 10:01:41 and control via pc or n900 Apr 05 10:02:12 I keep it in mind, but atm I'm happy with Volumio on my RPI, using mpd Apr 05 10:02:14 or via ssh/screen/ncurses Apr 05 10:02:30 i disliked media library idea Apr 05 10:02:51 and was missing simple player that i can just point to some directory and play everything inside Apr 05 10:03:08 that's why oscp was born Apr 05 10:03:24 almost any player tries to scan your whole drives for files Apr 05 10:03:49 and when you have milions of them it sucks, especially when you only want to play one dir Apr 05 10:04:22 sounds nice Apr 05 10:04:35 it is, simple, yet effective Apr 05 10:04:56 and you just navigate with cursor keys Apr 05 10:05:34 did you saw my paste? Apr 05 10:05:40 http://fpaste.org/207347/27385142/ Apr 05 10:05:41 im looking at it Apr 05 10:05:53 ok :) Apr 05 10:10:23 hm, cant see anything suspicious Apr 05 10:10:40 can you click that applet and see some 'about' ? Apr 05 10:11:00 you can try posting a screenshot too Apr 05 10:11:56 status-area-applet-battery Apr 05 10:11:59 maybe this one? Apr 05 10:12:26 my version with stock fremantle is 0.1.24+0m5 Apr 05 10:12:35 yours is 1.0-9 Apr 05 10:14:04 also, is your sys flashed with some thumb version? Apr 05 10:24:19 KotCzarny, yeah thumb version Apr 05 10:24:47 you can try pasting ps axww Apr 05 10:24:58 and checking crontabs too Apr 05 10:25:06 (crontab -l) Apr 05 10:25:36 http://fpaste.org/207353/82295291/ Apr 05 10:26:23 Pali: do I use that? Apr 05 10:26:37 yes, now testing :-) Apr 05 10:26:43 I mean - I use google chat Apr 05 10:26:51 what am I supposed to test? Apr 05 10:27:03 I will commit changes to github/gitorious and upload also new package to cssu-devel Apr 05 10:27:08 ok Apr 05 10:27:16 Pali: do you have FB account? Apr 05 10:27:29 test if you can set jabber resource priority in gtalk account dialog Apr 05 10:27:33 and if it is really set Apr 05 10:27:38 no FB account Apr 05 10:27:40 ok Apr 05 10:27:43 will do Apr 05 10:28:30 freemangordon: pong ;) Apr 05 10:29:32 grammoboy: cant see anything, crontab -l and screenshot maybe Apr 05 10:41:43 KotCzarny, http://pix.toile-libre.org/?img=1428230491.png Apr 05 10:43:48 you know what Apr 05 10:43:54 i think its standard cssu applet Apr 05 10:43:58 http://fpaste.org/207347/27385142/ Apr 05 10:44:13 http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=1342371 Apr 05 10:44:19 bad mouse Apr 05 10:44:20 :) Apr 05 10:44:49 so if you dont like it, downgrade it to stable version etc Apr 05 10:53:24 or maybe its settable somewhere in preferences Apr 05 10:53:30 ask cssu people Apr 05 10:53:31 :) Apr 05 10:55:17 ok, thx :) Apr 05 10:55:31 scary that new stuff... :) Apr 05 10:55:36 well Apr 05 10:55:58 sometimes it looks busy, but not eating battery much Apr 05 10:56:17 yeah I was concerned about sucking battery Apr 05 10:56:41 im using battery-eye to see how fast my battery drains Apr 05 10:57:09 I read those apps suck a lot of battery itself Apr 05 10:57:09 easy to spot when i install something that's not well written Apr 05 10:57:13 nope Apr 05 10:57:22 i have battery-eye installed for many months now Apr 05 10:57:28 and it's very well behaving Apr 05 10:57:34 hm Apr 05 10:57:41 usually grabs battery status only when YOU do something Apr 05 10:57:49 like unlocking screen etc Apr 05 10:59:17 http://maemo.org/downloads/product/Maemo5/battery-eye/ Apr 05 10:59:19 The data collection process is designed for minimal impact on system performance and battery life. Apr 05 11:37:34 talking about batteries, i assume the answer to this is "no", but is it normal for my n900 to be consuming ~200mA on plane mode? Apr 05 11:38:16 i can't get it to last more than 6 or 8 hours, and I now for sure that a couple months ago I was only charging the battery once a day Apr 05 11:38:25 now i need to charge it at least twice :/ Apr 05 11:38:39 (200mA number as reported by bnf) Apr 05 11:39:53 ceene: not normal, check for a runaway process Apr 05 11:40:30 i've been using top to search for high consuming cpu process Apr 05 11:40:35 but i can't see anything out of the ordinary Apr 05 11:40:42 Xorg is using 2% of CPU Apr 05 11:40:47 and that's the top process Apr 05 11:40:53 that's normal Apr 05 11:41:03 sometimes mce goes up a bit Apr 05 11:41:08 anything in dmesg or syslog? Apr 05 11:41:11 but i don't see anything strange Apr 05 11:41:38 I mean - anything suspicios Apr 05 11:41:50 suspicious even Apr 05 11:41:55 none that i recognize as out of the ordinary Apr 05 11:42:13 did you try to power-down the device and remove the battery? Apr 05 11:42:21 uhm, nop Apr 05 11:42:23 that can help? Apr 05 11:42:28 try it Apr 05 11:42:33 ok :) Apr 05 11:42:43 i've powered it down before a couple of times, but i've never removed the battery Apr 05 11:43:29 anyway, the idle consumption should be between 3-4 and 40-70 mA, depending on what is running as applications and which radio is enabled Apr 05 11:43:51 on wifi only the standby time is about a week Apr 05 11:44:33 ceene: put the startup log on pastebin after the reboot, so I can check if anything looks abnormal Apr 05 11:45:32 ok Apr 05 11:45:39 but that you mean dmesg or something else? Apr 05 11:45:41 by Apr 05 11:46:04 (partial) syslog Apr 05 11:47:35 ok, it's booting now Apr 05 11:55:47 i'm cutting syslog Apr 05 11:57:12 http://fpaste.org/207359/35005142/ Apr 05 11:57:55 i don't see anything strange, though i'm not very knowful of n900 hardware, so lots of things I don't understand Apr 05 11:58:38 it's now connected to a wifi network and gsm enabled (3g icon and good coverage), bnf still reports 221mA Apr 05 12:01:31 no PSM on the wifi network? tried setting to 2G only & compare? Apr 05 12:02:21 Sicelo: on plane mode with no connection active, bnf reports now 176mA Apr 05 12:02:50 ceene, check crontab Apr 05 12:03:03 and no, 200mA is much too much Apr 05 12:03:30 it should be ~10mA Apr 05 12:03:38 (when idle and blanked) Apr 05 12:03:49 there are no cron jobs Apr 05 12:04:10 also what sicelo said, do you have wifi all the time? Apr 05 12:04:42 usually yes, but even when wifi is off, consumption is around 170~1180mA Apr 05 12:04:51 then something runs Apr 05 12:04:58 yep, but i don't know what... Apr 05 12:04:58 did you install anything new lately Apr 05 12:05:02 top doesn't report anything Apr 05 12:05:12 none that i can remember :/ Apr 05 12:05:15 you can also run ps axww periodically and check for differences Apr 05 12:05:21 but most probably yes Apr 05 12:05:30 in hopes you can catch the offender Apr 05 12:05:39 also, run powertop Apr 05 12:05:44 and pastebin it Apr 05 12:06:58 http://fpaste.org/207360/ Apr 05 12:07:01 this is powertop outpout Apr 05 12:08:57 uhm Apr 05 12:09:12 i believe it's now behaving like it's supposed to Apr 05 12:09:17 :) Apr 05 12:09:25 still, many interrupts Apr 05 12:09:30 Total wakeups 498, 16.6/s | IRQ 416, 13.9/s | Timers 82, 2.7/s Apr 05 12:09:32 this is mine Apr 05 12:09:36 Total wakeups 3583, 119.4/s | IRQ 2874, 95.8/s | Timers 709, 23.6/s Apr 05 12:09:38 this is yours Apr 05 12:09:42 yep Apr 05 12:09:43 that's a lot Apr 05 12:10:09 check with wifi off Apr 05 12:11:02 which should be screen consumption? Apr 05 12:11:13 screen consumption wont show there Apr 05 12:11:29 i know, but i can switch off screen Apr 05 12:11:32 and execute bnf Apr 05 12:11:45 you can run in terminal Apr 05 12:11:46 it read something like 45mA Apr 05 12:11:54 ie. sleep 10; powertop Apr 05 12:12:00 with screen on, it's 230mA or so Apr 05 12:12:05 it varies, of course Apr 05 12:12:21 i use bq27200.sh Apr 05 12:12:37 to check current power consumption Apr 05 12:12:49 with wifi off Apr 05 12:12:54 Total wakeups 578 Apr 05 12:13:07 a bit less Apr 05 12:13:09 Total wakeups 3583, 119.4/s | IRQ 2874, 95.8/s | Timers 709, 23.6/s Apr 05 12:13:14 that was your with wifi on Apr 05 12:13:20 yep Apr 05 12:13:28 Total wakeups 498, 16.6/s | IRQ 416, 13.9/s | Timers 82, 2.7/s Apr 05 12:13:37 so, wifi takes a lot of power Apr 05 12:13:38 and its almost the same as mine with wifi on Apr 05 12:13:46 check your ap Apr 05 12:13:49 maybe change the channel Apr 05 12:14:07 could be the ehter noise waking chip too much Apr 05 12:14:24 they're about 1 meter from each other Apr 05 12:14:38 doesnt matter Apr 05 12:14:56 if anything else runs on the same channel it have to wake up and check if the packets are for you Apr 05 12:15:28 and retransmissions in case of collisions Apr 05 12:15:32 when I installed this router i checked and chose least populated channel Apr 05 12:15:35 of course it Apr 05 12:15:37 check now Apr 05 12:15:40 of course it may have changed Apr 05 12:15:43 maybe new neighbours Apr 05 12:17:08 maybe, but probably it's all pretty much saturated anyhow Apr 05 12:17:22 but populated != used Apr 05 12:20:31 i'm choosing a new channel Apr 05 12:23:31 Total wakeups 1018, 33.9/s | IRQ 795, 26.5/s | Timers 223, 7.4/s Apr 05 12:23:33 o_O Apr 05 12:23:38 :) Apr 05 12:23:50 magic! Apr 05 12:23:54 :P Apr 05 12:23:59 i'll have to check on the workplace too Apr 05 12:24:23 but i still think there may be something else Apr 05 12:24:25 but remember, other people factor is a random one Apr 05 12:25:04 my impression is that i'm charging more than twice as much as a couple months ago Apr 05 12:25:23 do you have other n900s? Apr 05 12:25:34 even when i left the phone on, but with all connections disabled during the night, it seems to waste too much energy Apr 05 12:25:37 nop Apr 05 12:25:43 you people are collectors or something! :P Apr 05 12:25:57 this is my first n900, bought a year ago or so Apr 05 12:26:05 the very first thing i did was replacing the battery Apr 05 12:26:22 i have also noticed that sometimes gsm network goes wild and phone starts searching and discharges battery in one night Apr 05 12:26:24 i don't where it came from but that battery only lasted for a couple hours or so Apr 05 12:26:37 yep, but that can be the case since i put it in plane mode Apr 05 12:26:47 so there's some vampire inside Apr 05 12:26:55 KotCzarny: what 'wildness'? :) Apr 05 12:27:09 sicelo: network noise Apr 05 12:27:21 which causes chip to search for networks too often Apr 05 12:27:47 ok. you can try as root: pnatd .. then AT+CFUN=) Apr 05 12:27:50 yep, that happens a lot on low coverage areas Apr 05 12:27:53 :) Apr 05 12:28:00 AT+CFUN=0 rather Apr 05 12:28:15 ceene: but can also happen in city, if someone turns unregistered machine Apr 05 12:28:26 that produces noise on ALL bands Apr 05 12:28:36 well, yes Apr 05 12:28:47 electric engines, microwaves, portable phones Apr 05 12:29:21 ceene: i usually charge once per 5-7 days Apr 05 12:29:27 and my battery is 6 years old Apr 05 12:29:36 but im not using n900 much Apr 05 12:29:40 maybe it's that Apr 05 12:30:39 with screen on, i.e. actively using the phone, bnf reports around 250~300mA Apr 05 12:30:51 yeah, screen eats much Apr 05 12:31:06 with screen off, and new wifi channel it now reports about 13mA Apr 05 12:31:12 :) Apr 05 12:31:17 so I guess idling will last quite a lot Apr 05 12:31:22 but intensive use is such a killer Apr 05 12:31:42 as long your neighbours ap wont change its channel again Apr 05 12:32:01 buy double capacity battery Apr 05 12:32:01 do you if 3g is better for battery life than wifi? Apr 05 12:32:07 2200-2600mAh Apr 05 12:32:13 yes Apr 05 12:32:21 i even switched to 2g Apr 05 12:32:33 because it has better coverage here Apr 05 12:32:42 (ie. fewer network searches) Apr 05 12:34:21 i'm going to have to reach a compromise between bandwidth, data rates and battery life Apr 05 12:34:34 double capacity batteries aren't much expensive? Apr 05 12:34:41 and much bigger :/ Apr 05 12:40:29 by the way, apart from being free software, is there an advantage on using pali's bme replacement? Apr 05 12:41:17 (or disadvantage) Apr 05 12:42:53 support for usb host mode Apr 05 12:43:08 better software for power management Apr 05 12:43:18 we heard that nokia BME is toxic Apr 05 12:43:45 and it probably has some buffer overflow or so... (sending commands via i2c bus to non existant device...) Apr 05 12:44:12 thank you, Pali Apr 05 12:44:18 i'll be upgrading then :) Apr 05 12:44:26 most probably later today after lunch Apr 05 12:44:55 see ya, thanks to all of you! Apr 05 13:51:46 well, nothing seems broken Apr 05 13:52:12 that's a nice start :) Apr 05 13:54:59 when you disable a repo from HAM, what does it do ? Apr 05 13:55:26 just comment in srouces.list? or more? Apr 05 13:56:09 cz I manualy disabled the extras-devel, but HAM was showing, but it didn't get stuck this time (: so I disabled it. Apr 05 14:06:49 pali: i use stock fremantle for 6 years Apr 05 14:07:00 didnt notice anything toxic Apr 05 14:07:25 antranigv: yes, it delete it from sources.lists Apr 05 14:07:53 KotCzarny: because you did not run strace or similar logging from linux kernel... Apr 05 14:08:05 yes, but my uptime is usually months Apr 05 14:08:49 so even if it does something weird, works good enough Apr 05 17:49:05 http://i.imgur.com/eK9M9Qx.jpg Apr 05 17:49:07 do want. Apr 05 17:55:14 200GB seems a bit weird, why not a power of two like 256? Apr 05 17:55:38 its GiB or GB? :D Apr 05 17:55:57 most likely GB Apr 05 17:56:01 still, do want Apr 05 17:56:03 ;) Apr 05 18:33:42 scottc: because there's probably a ton of reallocatable sectors Apr 05 18:33:55 the raw flash is probably 256GB Apr 05 18:34:20 i bet it's smaller than that Apr 05 18:34:31 256 would be sold as 240 Apr 05 18:35:26 mh Apr 05 18:35:35 well, they did make a 256GB one Apr 05 18:35:36 unless they really went playing safe Apr 05 18:35:51 but that's probably 256 * 10^9 bytes Apr 05 18:35:55 or use unavailable sectors for speed Apr 05 18:36:05 (internal journal maybe) Apr 05 18:37:39 KotCzarny: well, it's quite a bit of memory crammed inside a really tiny space Apr 05 18:37:47 tru dat Apr 05 18:37:48 maybe they weren't confident about their production process for the first runs Apr 05 18:39:02 still, it's amazing Apr 05 18:39:41 amazingly amazing Apr 05 18:40:18 Moreover, the company explained to El Reg that the only reason this is a 200GB device and not 256GB is that at 15nm, the die had reached the maximum size which could be squeezed into the microSD form factor to the specifications and still allow space for SanDisk's control electronics. Apr 05 20:48:41 guys, do you know some English dictionary SW in extras? Apr 05 20:50:55 nope, but maybe some dictionary in ebub format is worth a shot Apr 05 20:57:40 Vajb: thanks **** ENDING LOGGING AT Mon Apr 06 02:59:58 2015
