**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Jul 18 02:59:56 2010 Jul 18 06:39:48 gena2x: you're doing great! Jul 18 07:22:24 SpeedEvil: Hi. Do you by any chance know anything about head-mounted displays? I'm wondering if i can practically use something to read books during those long hours i spend in the underground. Jul 18 07:30:26 Hm, FR lacks composite video out Jul 18 08:51:37 lindi-: that mupdf is really fast! Big thanks for the suggestion! Jul 18 08:53:48 lindi-: the only wishlist is some TS-friendly optional interface (like doubleclick to move to the next page e.g.) Jul 18 09:25:55 hi Jul 18 09:26:57 I've read somewhere that when you leave OpenMoko charging it stops charging after reaching 100% battery and then (even with AC plugged in) starts to discharge to 0% when it turns off, is it still true? Jul 18 09:27:55 I'm asking because I have left my Neo AC plugged compiling some stuff for some hours and it just quitely powered off and after powering on it was completely discharged. Jul 18 09:28:28 i've not seen that behaviour (usb charging) Jul 18 09:28:59 Gabrys: please see Battery_Q_and_A Jul 18 09:31:06 PaulFertser: according to this: http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Battery_Questions_and_Answers#Does_it_mean_if_i_leave_my_phone_plugged_it_will_eventually_fully_discharge_the_battery.3F Jul 18 09:31:09 it should not happen Jul 18 09:31:26 what triggers the re-charging again? is it in kernel? Jul 18 09:31:31 Gabrys: of course it doesn't on FR. Jul 18 09:31:42 Gabrys: no, that's voltage drop alone. Jul 18 09:31:54 so in hw Jul 18 09:32:12 Gabrys: yep, provided pcf50633 is properly configured. Jul 18 09:32:22 PaulFertser: so both hw and kernel :-) Jul 18 09:32:34 Gabrys: triggering is hardware-only. Jul 18 09:33:00 PaulFertser: is it possible that CPU consumes so much power during compilation that even with AC plugged it gets discharged Jul 18 09:33:33 I don't know why it get discharged completely, it should never happen :-( Jul 18 09:34:09 Gabrys: no, CPU can't consume that much ever. Jul 18 09:34:41 in fact I had a USB hub with a pendrive also plugged in when this happened Jul 18 09:35:01 but the USB hub was powered and the power was transfered to neo Jul 18 09:35:11 Gabrys: strange. Was FR allowed to draw 400mA from it? Jul 18 09:35:17 I'm not sure Jul 18 09:35:32 If it's only 100mA, that would explain it. Jul 18 09:35:36 when I connected it, dmesg stated it switches some drain to 100mA Jul 18 09:35:45 but I manually switched it to 500mAh Jul 18 09:35:51 with om Jul 18 09:36:06 but as I played with hub multiple times, I'm not sure Jul 18 09:36:14 maybe that time I didn't Jul 18 09:36:32 so Neo needs more than 100 mA? Jul 18 09:37:03 Gabrys: yes Jul 18 09:37:18 but less than 500? Jul 18 09:37:53 Gabrys: Gabrys it depends on the GSM current mostly. Jul 18 09:38:08 Gabrys: if GSM is not actively transmitting anything, 400mA is more than enough. Jul 18 09:38:49 I didn't placed or receive any calls during that time, but screen, backlight, wifi, bluetooth and cpu was turned on Jul 18 09:39:16 Gabrys: certainly more than 100mA, but i'm not sure if it's more than 400mA. Jul 18 09:39:35 Gabrys: you can easily test it by looking at current_now while running from battery. Jul 18 09:39:55 ok, let's see Jul 18 09:40:40 -43312 when plugged in Jul 18 09:41:50 301125 when plugged in Jul 18 09:42:05 s/when/when not/ Jul 18 09:42:05 Gabrys meant: 301125 when not plugged in Jul 18 09:42:16 is this 301 mA? Jul 18 09:42:25 Gabrys: yes Jul 18 09:42:31 ok Jul 18 09:42:45 so let's assume I forgot to set the allowable drain back to 500mA Jul 18 09:43:06 or AC adapter was not strong enough Jul 18 09:43:07 Gabrys: why doesn't it work automatically? Broken hub? Jul 18 09:43:49 PaulFertser: I'm not sure, when plugging hub dmesg says current is switched to 100mA Jul 18 09:44:01 when plugging AC adapter it switches to 1000 Jul 18 09:44:17 hub was not originally powered, that was my modification Jul 18 09:44:45 but its PCB was ready for this, just not connected to any socket Jul 18 09:44:56 so I guess they also did powered on the same PCB Jul 18 09:44:58 Gabrys: hehe, nice Jul 18 09:50:24 now I check the current_now with hub and with charging limit raised to 500 Jul 18 09:50:37 and it's still positive :-( Jul 18 09:50:51 between 7000 and 9000 Jul 18 09:51:11 Gabrys: strange, probably your charger is weak? Jul 18 09:51:17 I guess so Jul 18 09:51:19 Gabrys: or something else is limiting it? Jul 18 09:51:44 it states 5V 550mAh though Jul 18 09:52:00 hub does not have any devices now Jul 18 09:54:36 ok, this is strange, but explains my problem Jul 18 09:54:56 I need to get better AC adapter for my hub first Jul 18 09:55:30 Gabrys: are you sure there's nothing that can artificially limit the current? Jul 18 09:55:43 in hw? no Jul 18 09:56:08 hub is so simple it just have 5V from AC adapter supplied to all USB ports Jul 18 09:56:40 so even it consumes to much energy or the adapter is too weak Jul 18 09:56:56 given I have the curlimit of usb and battery set to 500 mA on neo Jul 18 09:58:11 Gabrys: would be interesting to attach an ampermeter in between. Jul 18 10:07:38 hHeya Jul 18 10:07:51 You there? Jul 18 10:07:53 How to copy all files from /sdcard/rootfs- to /p3 so it wont look like /p3/rootfs- ? Jul 18 10:08:39 amicer: cp -r /sdcard/rootfs-/{*,.*} /p3/ Jul 18 10:08:46 amicer: and stop being annoying, please Jul 18 10:09:18 Okay, i just search for channel where pepole arent AFK/give anwers Jul 18 10:09:42 amicer: on irc you should wait for the answer. Sometimes it takes hours. Jul 18 10:09:57 amicer: moreover your question is nothing OM-related. Jul 18 10:10:10 i am installin OM atm Jul 18 10:10:19 i need to copy everything manually from adb shell Jul 18 10:10:32 also cp: cannot stat '/sdcard/rootfs-/{*,.*}': No such file or directory Jul 18 10:13:13 I'm eating a carrot atm, should i start from the thick side or not? Jul 18 10:13:36 i prefer the other side Jul 18 10:14:20 mmm, what about cp -r /sdcard/rootfs-/* /p3/ then again with /sdcard/rootfs-/*.* Jul 18 10:15:12 amicer: i think *.* wouldn't work with default bash configuration of skipping dotted files. Jul 18 10:15:28 " " Jul 18 10:15:34 *.* will also match .. Jul 18 10:16:05 whatever Jul 18 10:16:15 just cp /sdcard/rootfs-/.[^.]* Jul 18 10:16:16 i got it with /sdcard/rootfs-/* Jul 18 10:16:19 and recursive Jul 18 10:16:40 not onto fastbooting to openmoko Jul 18 10:16:48 you don't usually have anything hidden in rootfns Jul 18 10:17:50 Gabrys: why didn't my command work? Jul 18 10:18:11 PaulFertser: maybe it's not bash? Jul 18 10:18:22 and busybox doesn't understart {} Jul 18 10:18:27 I don't know :-) Jul 18 10:19:50 Hm, probably. Jul 18 10:24:29 K got rootfs on ext3, now i should just flash it yeah? Jul 18 10:49:28 PaulFertser: thanks :) Jul 18 11:44:00 PaulFertser: i contemplated making a device with a hmd once - and the lens system is probably the most important in not making it tiring to use Jul 18 11:51:19 SpeedEvil: indeed Jul 18 11:52:03 SpeedEvil: the matrix resolution plays a role too: FR's matrix is quite dense and big but it's still only 640x480. Jul 18 11:52:59 SpeedEvil: i took a look at myvu devices, they're considerably cheap, but only VGA res (and not usable with FR as they require composite video). Jul 18 11:59:21 Man, my room is seriously sick: https://paulfertser.is-a-geek.org/sickroom.jpg Jul 18 12:06:07 woah Jul 18 12:08:45 PaulFertser: indeed your room's sick, it even infected my browser and caused it to crash... Jul 18 12:08:56 rhkfin: wonderful Jul 18 12:08:57 :) Jul 18 12:09:14 rhkfin: your browser protects you well :D Jul 18 12:10:05 ;) Jul 18 12:51:01 Yeah. Jul 18 12:51:30 PaulFertser: Onmy 'to be developed' stack is a VNC over bluetooth composite output module. Jul 18 12:51:53 To be combined with a tiny display module, for the obvious. Jul 18 12:52:31 There are RGB modules - and highres - but for sillymoney Jul 18 12:52:34 however. Jul 18 12:52:47 For reading non-technical stuff on the train - largish print is OK. Jul 18 12:53:26 I found interestingly that 300wpm text is quite readable (for me) - on a CRT - one word painted after teh other Jul 18 12:53:31 in thesame spot Jul 18 12:53:36 SpeedEvil: yes, i've read a book or two on FR, and it was ok. Jul 18 12:54:27 SpeedEvil: interesting experiment. Any particular advice how to reproduce? Jul 18 12:55:31 split into words Jul 18 12:55:41 display a word for 100ms, blank for 100ms Jul 18 12:55:43 repeat Jul 18 12:55:59 I understand the idea, just thought you've some software handy or a sample text. Jul 18 12:56:30 naah Jul 18 12:56:35 This was aaaaaages ago. Jul 18 12:56:53 When the earth was barely cooled, and a 2400 modem was fast. Jul 18 12:58:13 SpeedEvil: heh, ok :) Thanks again for the pointer. Jul 18 13:35:43 android on freerunner is showing 0% battery (for a fully-charged battery) and shuts-down as soon as USB is removed. Is this normal? Jul 18 15:38:40 hi guys Jul 18 15:38:48 I'm looking some kernel developer Jul 18 15:38:52 with some experience Jul 18 15:39:13 ##kernel might be one place - though maybe some hang out here too. Jul 18 15:39:32 (I have submitted one patch to the kernel that has been accepted - but it was to fix a typo) Jul 18 15:39:37 What for? Jul 18 15:39:48 some new embedded device Jul 18 15:39:55 bsp, wifi, bluetooth Jul 18 15:39:56 etc Jul 18 15:40:03 #edev may also be worthwhile asking around in. Jul 18 15:40:14 So you want to bring up a board that does not at the moment run linux? Jul 18 15:40:32 Does the processor boot, and you're just looking to add some peripherals? Jul 18 15:40:52 the board can run linux on it, but wifi and bluetooth must be tested and integrated Jul 18 15:40:55 on that for example Jul 18 15:41:00 and some minor stuff Jul 18 15:42:23 #edev is probably a sane place to ask. Maybe also #meego and #maemo-dev #mer I suspect is probably dead. #android may not be useless. ##kernel I've not found of much use. Jul 18 15:42:41 oh Jul 18 15:42:44 #ddwrt too Jul 18 15:43:10 also - lurk here - maybe someone will pop up witha clue. Jul 18 15:43:23 This is just the software, or hardware too? Jul 18 15:44:30 SpeedEvil: btw, do you remember panicking_mike is the one that brought FR users the Android experience? :) Naturally he seeks a hacker among the guys he knows first :) Jul 18 15:44:40 panicking_mike: hey :) Alive and kicking? ;) Jul 18 15:45:07 Yes Jul 18 15:45:10 to much work to follow Jul 18 15:45:13 Ah - no - I've not actually done android on any platform. Jul 18 15:45:21 I have asked werner collaboration for other project Jul 18 15:45:26 Hence I diddn't recognise thename. Jul 18 15:45:27 but I'm still waiting feedback Jul 18 15:45:28 from him Jul 18 15:45:39 panicking_mike: I probably read your ARMv4 porting page to help make chromium-browser run on openmoko :) Jul 18 15:45:58 Also- is this an actual job opportunity, or a hobby project. Jul 18 15:46:03 (or was it just a wiki listing android stuff?) Jul 18 15:46:07 Not interested myself - but... Jul 18 15:46:19 Well - to be more accurate - interested but unable. Jul 18 16:21:31 I just added 2.6.29, 2.6.32 and Qi columns, please upgrade informations about your uSD card at http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Supported_microSD_cards#Cards_by_Vendor Jul 18 16:23:13 martix: hmm, that page crashed my iceweasel :) Jul 18 16:24:23 hmm no, it just slowed down a lot Jul 18 16:24:57 martix: you should definitely mention Qi version! Jul 18 16:25:56 lindi-: I dont use Qi and I dont remember any uSD problems related to different Qi versions Jul 18 16:26:28 martix: yes but when the problems appear then there's no way to figure out which version caused it? Jul 18 16:28:28 then reporter should note which version cause problems Jul 18 16:29:15 matrix: may be add .34 tab too? :) Jul 18 16:29:56 maybe a huge table is not the way to go :) Jul 18 16:30:13 Just list each card and add WORKS/DOES-NOT-WORK reports after each one Jul 18 16:30:50 table fits my screen :) Jul 18 16:30:58 gena2x: on openmoko? Jul 18 16:31:13 i have 2560 resolution :) Jul 18 16:31:59 really rare thing where it is usable. Jul 18 16:32:36 but may be just add once cell with kernel version. Jul 18 16:32:45 gena2x: maybe, but is there any difference (in uSD card problems) between .23 and .24? ...*martix or Martix ;-) Jul 18 16:33:23 ops :) Jul 18 16:33:31 lindi-: we can delete columns with old versions Jul 18 16:33:48 martix: sorry Jul 18 16:34:07 keep only actually used versions Jul 18 16:34:38 i mean change |yes|yes|no|yes|workaround| list to something like |ver1,ver2,| Jul 18 16:36:35 Martix: that might be a good idea Jul 18 16:37:00 Martix: maybe older cards (especially those that did not work!) should still be listed separately below table Jul 18 16:37:48 ok, forget, not real issue. Jul 18 16:38:15 and it seems like on this page are mixed GTA01 and GTA02 (Glamo) results Jul 18 16:40:54 hehe "I'll soon give it a try. --Sol 20:33, 31 March 2009 (UTC) " Jul 18 18:22:42 openmoko Jul 18 19:06:24 howdy. Just installed ScummVM on shr-t but executing it as "scummvm" fails with the following error "WARNING: SDL_SetVideoMode says we can't switch to that mode (No video mode large enough for 640x400)!". Any hint?, pls Jul 18 19:14:31 ftn: you probably need to rotate screen Jul 18 19:14:52 ftn: "xrandr -o 1" command should do it if you are in X Jul 18 20:14:45 JaMa: hi, i am now building your 2.6.32 kernel from gitorious, one thing we might have forgotten is the FIFO stage patch Jul 18 20:14:56 http://git.openmoko.org/?p=kernel.git;a=blobdiff;f=drivers/mfd/glamo/glamo-fb.c;h=21165d97fb2a0e2ded78c6978b225ecd2041232d;hp=44ab9a39787a613b2122b33ad08a05d442e2aac0;hb=b90406de472c1aa5371ab593a2bb79136d5de658;hpb=bdaf2752eb06b600098f89661baa3e478cd52105 Jul 18 20:15:07 or am i wrong? Jul 18 20:15:21 ehm oki, let's leave it for tommorow :) Jul 19 01:18:23 hi **** ENDING LOGGING AT Mon Jul 19 02:59:56 2010
