**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Jun 30 02:59:57 2020 Jun 30 03:14:42 is anyone online? Jun 30 03:15:32 duude: No. ;-) Jun 30 03:17:22 it seems so Jun 30 03:18:07 by any chance, is there a way to mute the load sound n900 makes when booting? Jun 30 04:15:34 sunshavi: maybe that's because NTFS can detect bad sectors and FAT can't. Jun 30 04:16:20 (dunno what NTFS' bad sector behaviour is, but I would expect it is better at maintaining integrity than FAT) Jun 30 04:19:56 Maxdamantus: brand new disk, with fat32 everything was most of the time stable. but with NTFS. I needed to mount it on win32 for fixing the issue about the bad sector. Jun 30 04:54:22 sunshavi: what's the other NTFS implementation you're using? ntfs-3g, or the one in the Linux kernel? Probably shouldn't use the latter. Jun 30 05:00:26 duude: I have not tried it but maybe you can rename/move or delete the sound file(s) played while booting (software solution) or connect a 3.5-mm plug to something else (2.5-mm or dual RCA or maybe something else) adapter to the AV connector without anything connected to the other end(s) of the adapter (hardware solution)? Jun 30 05:02:51 I know I silenced the focus and fake shutter sound effects used by the camera application on Maemo 5 by renaming the sound files or maybe replacing the sound files with empty files or silent sound files, was too many years ago for me to remember the specific method. Jun 30 05:08:24 I still remember information such as my home address in 1992 and earlier, though, so it is not as if I cannot remember information from only 2010 at the earliest. My memory is usually very good. Jun 30 05:22:45 duude: it's called "nokia hands". iirc there's a .avi file somewhere in Maemo which you can just delete. Jun 30 05:24:44 I don't think I can find it on my system, probably because I deleted it ages ago. Jun 30 05:41:49 is it normal that it takes ages(like two hours) just to charge 10%? Jun 30 05:44:53 Maxdamantus: I guess duude can just run “# find / -iname '*.avi'” to find the relevant file? Jun 30 05:45:04 brolin_empey: yes, I think so. Jun 30 05:45:49 Or “$ locate -i '*.avi'” if Maemo uses updatedb and locate; I do not remember if it does. Does it? Jun 30 05:45:53 http://wiki.maemo.org/N900_The_Perfect_Setup/alternative-1#Disable_Nokia_Hands Jun 30 05:49:46 how much does a healthy n900 take to get full Jun 30 05:51:17 in terms of battery charge Jun 30 05:58:33 duude: check: 1/ different charger, 2/ different cable, 3/ if some app isnt using cpu when idle Jun 30 05:58:50 my n900 charges from 0 to 100 in ~1.5-2.5h Jun 30 05:59:19 ok the battery is degraded Jun 30 05:59:26 if you have some usb power meter you can check if its charger/cable problem Jun 30 06:02:51 Could the TV cable be made DIY? Jun 30 06:07:55 tv cable is like 1-2 bucks Jun 30 06:08:25 check any electronics store nearby, should have one Jun 30 06:08:37 no, the n900 Jun 30 06:10:30 i mean the cable that got in the n900 phone plug and could connect it to the TV, i wasn't aware it was bundled with the phone and forgot to get it from the previous owner Jun 30 06:10:47 * enyc meows! Jun 30 06:11:09 i know Jun 30 06:11:20 its the very simple cable that isnt n900's specific Jun 30 06:11:32 in the worst you can swap colors on the cinch side Jun 30 06:12:05 you can use any minijack -- 3x cinch Jun 30 06:13:24 Maxdamantus: udisksctl mount -b /dev/sdc1 Jun 30 06:15:03 then i should change on using mount.ntfs. I am going to try it next time Jun 30 06:18:41 I don't believe there is much special about the TV out cable. I found one from an old camcorder the phonos are all the wrong colours but it works. Jun 30 06:20:06 they also shipped them with old compact internet tv boxes before they switched to HDMI. Jun 30 06:33:44 =me meows! Jun 30 06:55:41 sixwheeledbeast: the N900 one you were lucky. the one from Next Thing Co. CHIP doesn't work on N900, although it works for nearly everything else i tried Jun 30 06:55:57 sicelo, huh? Jun 30 06:56:14 just swap yellow and red? Jun 30 06:57:49 iirc i tried that and didn't work ... otoh, it's been a while maybe i'm mixing things out Jun 30 06:58:16 unless they moved the shield on minijack.. but no one does that Jun 30 06:58:47 iirc n900 didn't even detect the cable as tv-out Jun 30 06:58:48 s/shield/ground/ Jun 30 06:58:48 KotCzarny meant: unless they moved the ground on minijack.. but no one does that Jun 30 06:59:31 the cable from xunlong/orangepi is the same pinout as n900's Jun 30 07:01:30 i see Jun 30 07:01:34 adding bs=128k to dd commands help sometimes Jun 30 07:01:40 erm, wrong chan **** ENDING LOGGING AT Wed Jul 01 03:01:14 2020
