Mar 18 03:29:46 disable power save Mar 18 03:29:50 i did disable mixed mode Mar 18 03:29:53 that's when it stopped working ;) Mar 18 03:30:01 wut Mar 18 03:30:04 then i tried adding it manually Mar 18 03:30:07 disable it at your router too Mar 18 03:30:14 i did Mar 18 03:30:22 when i disabled it on the router it stopped working Mar 18 03:30:43 wat Mar 18 03:30:53 something's wrong here then Mar 18 03:32:08 heh Mar 18 03:32:16 i'm also not seeing backupmenu in the devel repo Mar 18 03:32:18 wth?

Mar 18 03:45:57 oh well..whatever. i will install cssu now Mar 18 03:46:30 anybody try nemo? Mar 18 03:51:52 i am trying to determine if i should live on the edge with testing cssu or stable Mar 18 03:52:00 * Macer ponders the red or blue pill Mar 18 03:52:12 well.. i guess red or yellow in this case Mar 18 03:52:25 what are you guys going to do when nokia shuts down maemo.org in like.... a year? Mar 18 04:02:57 at the moment I'm hoping archos makes a phone Mar 18 04:03:00 maybe Mar 18 04:04:27 I'm hoping their G9 tablets start supporting Angstrom before wishing for a phone from them Mar 18 04:04:36 (or, any other linux distro) Mar 18 04:04:55 that too. Mar 18 04:05:26 I guess we should backup the repos :P Mar 18 04:05:39 so we can continue using N900 for awhile still Mar 18 04:06:07 Uh, yes... but, erm, why back up them /now/? Mar 18 04:06:26 Something I don't know about? Mar 18 04:07:18 who knows when the site runs out of dosh? Mar 18 04:07:28 Because you can't trust Nokia to keep their promises? :) Mar 18 04:08:08 iirc last year they said maemo.org would run like until nobody ever came to it anymore Mar 18 04:08:17 and now it's "for a year" Mar 18 04:08:22 so I'm guessing that means "a week" Mar 18 04:08:28 but I'm only extrapolating Mar 18 04:08:38 this doublespeak is confusing :-( Mar 18 04:08:41 Wish they spoke english Mar 18 04:08:59 or stopped acting like an evil empire Mar 18 04:09:06 you can't be an evil empire without being an empire first Mar 18 04:09:24 Well, back it up. Mar 18 05:06:33 how big is the repo? Mar 18 05:07:02 it can't be that big :) Mar 18 05:09:10 larger than fits on a N900 Mar 18 05:10:41 heh Mar 18 05:10:51 i was asking because i am sure i have the space for it Mar 18 05:11:02 and considering demand i am sure i have the bandwidth to handle most of it as well Mar 18 05:11:45 Well, get scraping! Mar 18 05:11:47 :P Mar 18 05:12:05 i could probably start xfering it now but honestly don't know the best way to get all the repos Mar 18 05:12:45 Wasn't maemo.org downloads exceeding ovi store downloads? Mar 18 05:12:53 omg i'm sure Mar 18 05:12:54 lol Mar 18 05:13:25 throughout both their histories i'm sure maemo.org was beating ovi Mar 18 05:14:35 cssu contacts isn't portrait ready heh Mar 18 05:15:03 excellent Mar 18 05:20:15 damn the asian girl from season 1 of babylon 5 is hot as hell Mar 18 05:20:16 lol Mar 18 05:20:22 she is probably an old hag by now Mar 18 05:25:06 What was her name? Mar 18 05:25:35 naw, asian girls don't age until they're like 60 Mar 18 05:38:39 heh Mar 18 05:38:52 dont know Mar 18 05:39:00 but she was pretty Mar 18 05:39:05 id say chinese Mar 18 05:39:18 americanized chinese tho Mar 18 05:41:45 julia nickson Mar 18 05:42:42 oh. she is from singapore Mar 18 05:42:57 you werent kidding tho. she still is hot lol Mar 18 05:44:20 oh. maybe not Mar 18 05:50:23 I'd say repository.maemo.org is at least 100GB *looks around the cable that connects to his portable hard disk*.. if not at least 200+, depending on which areas you wanted to mirror Mar 18 05:51:05 They have 2TB drives for a reason! Mar 18 05:51:57 indeed, you could mirror the entire repository.maemo.org along with other minor repositories, even nokia's repository (with a bit of a hack) Mar 18 05:52:17 Is talk worth saving? Mar 18 05:52:27 wiki too, I guess Mar 18 05:53:09 if one could mirror those easily I'd say wiki is more important than talk, but either way both are just as important Mar 18 05:55:00 * psycho_oreos runs du -h on his mirrored copy of repository.maemo.org (which is if anything a few months old) Mar 18 05:57:39 If one could filter out the crap from the signal at talk Mar 18 05:58:03 186G . Mar 18 05:58:27 that can come afterwards, the most important is to mirror it before the entire thing goes down ;) Mar 18 05:58:44 it's a separate server btw Mar 18 05:59:03 that is small Mar 18 05:59:04 in a separate place, under separate administration Mar 18 05:59:05 The crap is on a seperate server? Mar 18 05:59:08 ;-) Mar 18 05:59:10 no Mar 18 05:59:11 talk is Mar 18 05:59:19 oh... Mar 18 05:59:21 200GB isnt much Mar 18 05:59:24 SpeedEvil, yes. Mar 18 05:59:28 :) Mar 18 06:00:09 psycho_oreos, do you have a rsync recipie for that? Mar 18 06:00:10 mind you that's an old mirrored version of the entire repository.maemo.org. It includes all of the stuff released eversince it was born (which effectively includes things from bora, chinook, diablo, etc) Mar 18 06:00:30 Yeah I still use diablo actually :P Mar 18 06:00:42 ShadowJK, for repository.maemo.org? nope I used apt-mirror.. and I hacked it to work with https for maemo.nokia repo Mar 18 06:00:44 mace@totam.scientiam.org:/volume1 8.1T 2.7T 5.5T 33% /home/mace/Totam/volume1 Mar 18 06:00:54 5TB left Mar 18 06:01:07 aw Mar 18 06:01:29 well... if you have a wiki on how to get the repos i will get them Mar 18 06:01:41 shouldnt take too long Mar 18 06:01:59 I have a huge list for apt-mirror on my wmo page Mar 18 06:02:06 err handle on there is tuxsavvy Mar 18 06:49:07 I'm getting errors attempting to download images from http://tablets-dev.nokia.com/nokia_N800.php -- is there another source for RX-34_DIABLO_5.2008.43-7_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin ? Mar 18 06:52:12 what errors out of curiousity Mar 18 06:54:10 firefox reports "Corrupted Content Error" Mar 18 06:55:26 the only other source that I know of which is unofficial and they only have links to phoenix flasher (notably windows only tool) is this: http://www.cpkb.org/wiki/Nokia_N800_Internet_Tablet_RX-34_firmware_data_package_download Mar 18 06:56:28 lynx pulled it down fine .. go firefox Mar 18 06:57:04 thanks for the mirror though Mar 18 06:57:59 heh not mine.. tbf I would preferred if those mobs seeded the pure .img files though.. with the windows executable, one essentially needs to run it through wine to unpack the img file out and hoping that it would be it Mar 18 08:55:55 hai Mar 18 08:56:03 high Mar 18 08:56:18 salam kenal Mar 18 08:56:34 I don't speak that language Mar 18 08:57:05 where are you from? Mar 18 08:57:22 somewhere in the southern hemisphere Mar 18 08:58:22 i'm sorry. i from indonesia Mar 18 08:58:45 i'm sorry, i'm from indonesia Mar 18 08:59:53 hmm ok Mar 18 09:01:06 so you have an issue about maemo or want to talk about maemo (in English of course)? Mar 18 09:02:05 i want to talk about maemo Mar 18 09:02:25 in what areas specifically? Mar 18 09:11:56 in Jakarta Mar 18 09:18:02 ahh well I can't help you that I'm afraid, I don't live in Indonesia Mar 18 09:19:38 why you're afraid? Mar 18 09:20:25 its a saying, it just means that I can't help you regardless (due to the circumstance you're having) Mar 18 09:23:08 what's the story with "hacker edition" images? Mar 18 09:26:26 nevermind. by the way how old are you? Mar 18 09:27:27 aspect, I believe they are the community built images with various new features (but also has its own drawbacks) but I have no clue Mar 18 09:28:35 dremy, I'd rather not answer that question :) Mar 18 09:30:25 sorry, i was rude Mar 18 09:38:51 I'm really sorry Mar 18 11:51:29 hi Mar 18 11:51:39 whats the channel for cssu?

Mar 18 13:29:21 talk/wiki/. all work Mar 18 13:32:23 i don't know, someone said that Mar 18 13:32:48 and not now Mar 18 13:33:04 sme day whole internet will get shut down Mar 18 13:33:35 never Mar 18 13:34:16 i'm wondering how long nokia will offer updates for previously sold devices Mar 18 13:34:31 hah, it won't work when earth melts in sun's corona Mar 18 13:34:52 DocScrutinizer, By then it will extend beyond the earth. Mar 18 13:34:55 at least firmware files, i don't expect development Mar 18 13:35:11 Ken-Young: so it will nice sunny day? Mar 18 13:35:26 s/will/will be/ Mar 18 13:35:26 ketas meant: Ken-Young: so it will be nice sunny day? Mar 18 13:35:50 sun hugs you Mar 18 13:36:01 I prefer night time. Mar 18 13:36:18 * ketas puts Ken-Young in bright light Mar 18 13:36:31 I have inverseSAD. Mar 18 13:36:45 hm? Mar 18 13:36:58 well it's still sad Mar 18 13:37:02 Inverse Seasonal Affective Disorder. Mar 18 13:37:20 summer is season too Mar 18 13:39:17 I need to reflash my N900 but when i try flasher-3.5 say USB device found found at bus 002, device address 113. Mar 18 13:39:17 Error claiming USB interface: Operation not permitted Mar 18 13:39:53 do it as root. Mar 18 13:40:29 LOL stupid noob problem Mar 18 13:41:14 By mistake i rm -fr the /var map as root so that's why i need to re-flash it Mar 18 13:41:34 hmm! Mar 18 13:41:47 you hurt a n900 Mar 18 13:41:57 I know stupid mistake Mar 18 13:50:27 so #maemo, how's living? Mar 18 13:51:22 Me Mar 18 13:52:33 aah I see, with a bit of funny optics yu easily get "who" from "how" :-D Mar 18 13:53:31 :-P Mar 18 13:54:29 though my rather poor English would have put it "who's alive" then Mar 18 13:55:03 I understand you anyhow Mar 18 14:00:58 Dynamit: so I hope you're not only alive but also doing fine Mar 18 14:02:47 So restore the settings etc. now on my N900 Wee Mar 18 14:04:13 * DocScrutinizer curses ding for not supporting many idioms Mar 18 14:08:30 Dynamit: have a look into backupmenu, it's a really great indispensable app Mar 18 14:08:40 well, "app" Mar 18 14:09:45 I'm not all sure about it, but I *think* it would still work on a system that even has /var deleted Mar 18 14:10:14 so you wouldn't even have to reflash, to recover from your "noob mistake" Mar 18 14:10:54 just boot up with kbd slider opened, and select "restore" from backupmenu Mar 18 14:11:18 okey Mar 18 14:11:43 Do you knoe about get nitroid getting to dualboot from micro sd-card? Mar 18 14:12:02 I have try but can't get the dualboot to find it Mar 18 14:12:15 well... I don't appreciate nitdroid Mar 18 14:12:39 also: Mar 18 14:12:45 ~maemo-multiboot Mar 18 14:12:45 rumour has it, maemo-multiboot is deprecated, and a horrible hack. PROBLEMS WITH NITDROID/MULTIBOOT? reflash rootfs&kernel aka COMBINED Mar 18 14:13:15 have you try Kubuntu mobile? Mar 18 14:13:21 nope Mar 18 14:14:03 honestly, why would I want to try another OS than maemo fremantle, on N900? Mar 18 14:14:43 Because other OS have things that maemo don't Mar 18 14:14:51 I'm still pretty convinced of fremantle with CSSU being the best OS for N900 you can get Mar 18 14:15:04 the only reason i want dualboot is to get the Ubuntu One to sync my calender etc. from the phone to the computer's i use and the other way Mar 18 14:15:20 and I don't see any such things that maemo is missing while other OS might provide Mar 18 14:16:44 hmm, I'd suspect this One thing doesn't support maemo contacts database and middleware Mar 18 14:20:22 and quite probably the contacts in whatever database One supports will not allow to dial them on N900 Mar 18 14:21:14 you could possibly fix this with some dbus-call to pop up maemo dialer with the number selected from One contacts Mar 18 14:21:55 but for inbound calls I'd not expect the contact lookup and name resolving to work on ubuntu One Mar 18 14:23:46 the only thing i care about is calender and document that need to be sync Mar 18 14:23:59 document? Mar 18 14:24:34 odt, txt, doc, etc. Mar 18 14:24:51 hmm, I don't see how to sync that Mar 18 14:25:00 but the most important is calender Mar 18 14:25:30 except with e.g. rsync to copy stuff from one device to other in an intelligent way Mar 18 14:27:12 wtf. i download the newest Maemo 5 but when the software list is updated the phone say it update available for Maemo5 Mar 18 14:27:42 sorry? Mar 18 14:28:02 Nothing my phone act weird Mar 18 14:28:27 you mean there are updates available even after you flashed 'latest' fiasco immage? Mar 18 14:28:45 yes Mar 18 14:28:50 normal Mar 18 14:29:23 ...on all OS I know Mar 18 14:29:56 the complete image used for flashing always is outdated even on the day it gets published Mar 18 14:30:05 Okey so when Ubuntu 12.04 is released it will be new update's for it after 10min after its release? Mar 18 14:30:27 IOW you always find updates to apply to most recent full image Mar 18 14:30:39 yes Mar 18 14:31:20 it takes quite some time to prepare and roll out some image Mar 18 14:32:33 during that time any new updates won't go in to that latest image, so you'll find them immediately after installation of the whole image in the update utility Mar 18 14:34:08 and in the weeks and months after release of that image, any updates won't go in to the image as well Mar 18 14:34:25 obviously Mar 18 14:36:02 for fremantle that means, I don't know if we got a PR1.3.1 fiasco at all, or the 1.3->1.3.1 updates are only available via HAM "update" Mar 18 14:37:06 okey Mar 18 14:37:59 you could find out easily, when you click "details" tab on the offered maemo update in HAM Mar 18 14:38:27 it says "installed:" and "available:" or similar Mar 18 14:41:42 provided by Nokia Mar 18 14:45:08 1.3.1 is only available through ham Mar 18 14:48:06 thought as much Mar 18 14:48:44 Dynamit: what's about "provided by Nokia"? Mar 18 14:50:56 It was the only thing it say about where it came from Mar 18 14:51:03 but shit the same Mar 18 14:54:00 well, that's where it came from, but when clicking details tab you see a lot more of info about current version, new version, whatnot else Mar 18 15:10:10 what's the go with a2dp on n800/os2008? I'm seeing different instructions in a few places Mar 18 15:16:43 hmm, that's knowledge hard to find nowadays. Some users here might know about it, I for one never tried BT audio with N810 Mar 18 15:20:33 I used to have it on the old image I just trashed :/ Mar 18 15:40:33 ~seen pali Mar 18 15:40:34 hmm, well. Talking outa my ass, I'd say you usually need a pulseaudio plugin to send PCM audio data to the BT chip. IIRC that used to be BlueZ3 Mar 18 15:40:40 pali <~quassel@unaffiliated/pali> was last seen on IRC in channel #maemo-ssu, 1d 19h 48m 37s ago, saying: 'but old version of nokia kernel in mtd3 can be updated to one which will have fixed security bugs'. Mar 18 15:41:38 ~seen freemangordon Mar 18 15:41:40 freemangordon was last seen on IRC in channel #maemo, 1d 22h 55m 2s ago, saying: 'X-Fade ping'.

Manufacturer had to explain why your mod caused the defect Mar 18 15:49:58 ... for the first 6 months only Mar 18 15:50:06 they can't just say "you opened the device, so now your warranty is void" - they can do this for the voluntary warranty they offer, but not for the 2 yeras legal warranty Mar 18 15:50:06 after that, you are the one having to explain it Mar 18 15:50:19 javispedro: hmm somewhat Mar 18 15:58:58 when one overclocks his dsp, will SR automatically increase voltage? Mar 18 15:59:14 a2dp success! by scrutinising the last few pages of the thread and re-pairing my headset Mar 18 15:59:39 aspect: \o/ Mar 18 16:00:27 MrPingu: no Mar 18 16:00:30 MrPingu: NFC, check the wealth of threads about it - here OC is mostly deprecated as most of us understood it's usually worthless Mar 18 16:00:35 SR max voltage is is kernel config file Mar 18 16:01:06 and side note, with syspart disabled, the only kernel config you need is stock with kpower50 Mar 18 16:01:43 ...and WSEGL turned on Mar 18 16:02:10 but as i have experienced, turning SR and WSEGL results in graphics corruption sometimes, fixed with a batt pull Mar 18 16:02:34 a few users have sound arguments why they temporarily enable OC to get across some magic limit with framerates etc. but the normal case is OC fanbois mess with CPU clock without any good reason, and then claim everything "works just fine now" but lack to deliver any proof that it's not a placebo effect Mar 18 16:04:01 while the truckload of possible negative impact on several system and device aspects are simply neglected Mar 18 16:05:25 I used to run 900 mhz 24/7 Mar 18 16:05:39 no you didn't Mar 18 16:05:57 this statement alone proves you don't understand OC Mar 18 16:06:02 if the N900 ran at 900MHz 24/7, the battery would be burnt Mar 18 16:06:10 well, you get what I mean Mar 18 16:06:31 it's ondemand governer, so not 24/7 :P Mar 18 16:06:42 if you want to run it at 900MHz 24/7, disable clocks off while idle and set limits ;) Mar 18 16:06:55 aaah, a bit of a clue shines up :-) Mar 18 16:07:21 Nono I don't want to run 900 mhz, I just wanted to confirm what you said Mar 18 16:07:45 Becuz since reflash I just loaded default profile Mar 18 16:07:55 (till 600) Mar 18 16:08:29 Couldn't really say it was slower or faster, well a bit of the transitions when switching windows Mar 18 16:08:53 Really read/write on disks is the real slowdown on N900 :P Mar 18 16:08:53 yep, see. The placebo effect kicks in ;-) Mar 18 16:09:13 with swap on sd, and the right swap settings for compcache, you'll get max [strike]placebo[/strike]responsiveness Mar 18 16:09:20 yes, I/O is bottleneck Mar 18 16:09:22 does anyone know about the current uefi-situation? i was thinking about switching from win7 to 8.. Mar 18 16:09:36 (dualboot system here) Mar 18 16:09:55 Yes I have enabled swap on SD Mar 18 16:10:01 hanning, if you're not on a uefi-compliant x86 system, nothing to worry about Mar 18 16:10:05 uhh Mar 18 16:10:15 if you're on an x86/x86-64 system, nothing to worry about Mar 18 16:10:23 open mode is expressly enabled Mar 18 16:11:07 MrPingu: swap on SD makes probably more snese than any OCing Mar 18 16:11:17 sense* Mar 18 16:12:21 optimal optimization (sorry I had to use that term once in my life ;-P) would be to reduce RAM footprint of the active system, so it doesn't need that much (or any) swap Mar 18 16:12:44 Probably, but I have been thinking. Wouldn't it be better if I gave microSD swap partition higher priority? Mar 18 16:13:01 quite possuble Mar 18 16:13:08 disable emmc swap Mar 18 16:13:12 meh, my typing sucks today Mar 18 16:13:33 I try to keep my phone as clean as possible, least possible extra libraries ;) Mar 18 16:13:38 swapon mmc; swapoff mtd Mar 18 16:13:50 uhh, i meant write an event.d script that disables emmc swap when mmc swap is detected Mar 18 16:14:05 ~swapmicro.sh Mar 18 16:14:32 Other stuff I do in ED chroot ;) Mar 18 16:14:33 no such factoid Mar 18 16:14:42 what's exactly mtd? Mar 18 16:15:00 DocScrutinizer, y u swapon mtd on n900 Mar 18 16:15:05 memory technology device IIRC Mar 18 16:15:08 aka NAND Mar 18 16:15:45 it's probably a bad idea to swapon raw flash device without flash layer Mar 18 16:16:12 err, sorry, sure. you're right Mar 18 16:16:23 swap of N900 is on eMMC Mar 18 16:16:33 Not willing to try, swap is on /dev/mmcblk0p3 IIRC Mar 18 16:16:41 yes. Mar 18 16:17:06 from outside maemo, it's mmcblk1p3, as physically, the emmc is connected to mmc1 Mar 18 16:17:07 so s/swapoff mtd/swapoff eMMC/ Mar 18 16:17:42 Hurrian|hurr: only when uSD inserted Mar 18 16:17:46 mmc1 = microsd, isn't it? Mar 18 16:17:47 a big PITA Mar 18 16:18:40 mmc-if0 is external, mmc-if1 is internal. So kernel probes for external aka uSD first, and if available that gets name mmc0 Mar 18 16:18:47 then later on it gets renamed Mar 18 16:19:19 in some locations the renaming doesn't take effect Mar 18 16:19:45 I don't get that, probably my lack of enough knowledge :P Mar 18 16:19:56 so be very very careful whenever using absolute references to mmc0 or mmc1 Mar 18 16:20:16 note that emmc is named mmcblk0 only in 2.6.28-maemo derived kernels Mar 18 16:20:22 everywhere else, it's mmcblk1 Mar 18 16:20:25 sometimes it may be not like you'd expected Mar 18 16:21:05 Oh you mean when you attach to your desktop via backupmenu? Mar 18 16:21:18 Hurrian|hurr: the renaming is done by udev plus some script IIRC Mar 18 16:21:42 yep. Mar 18 16:21:50 wow that's ridiculous Mar 18 16:23:03 cat /proc/partitions Mar 18 16:23:14 you'll see "strange" results Mar 18 16:23:20 occasionally Mar 18 16:23:48 proc/partitions being one of the places where renaming doesn't kick in AFAIK Mar 18 16:24:20 that'S what the *original* true names are that kernel originally used Mar 18 16:24:58 depending on whatever, e.g. swapon or any oher tool may or may not use the renamed or the original names Mar 18 16:25:14 home/user/.kernel # cat /proc/partitions Mar 18 16:25:40 seems mmcblk0 is still the emmc Mar 18 16:26:31 err, yup, seems /proc/partitions still using the renamed scheme Mar 18 16:26:41 in ather places though this doesn't apply Mar 18 16:27:03 just can't remember where, except obviously sections in dmesg/syslog Mar 18 16:27:12 on my device, mmcblk0 = sdcard in /proc/partitions ... Mar 18 16:27:24 Hmm now I start wondering what that third partition on my microSD was for? Mar 18 16:28:12 I actually only use the swap and the FAT32 Mar 18 16:28:17 NIN101: both are sdcard Mar 18 16:28:29 just one is uSD while other is eMMC Mar 18 16:28:41 err, /me needs some more coffee Mar 18 16:28:52 eMMC != SD card Mar 18 16:30:29 anyway, keep in mind that with regard to mmc0 vs mmc1 sometimes things may appear like they magically swapped postitions Mar 18 16:30:54 so always doublecheck Mar 18 16:31:33 What's the reason they are swapped in maemo? Mar 18 16:32:00 I can't find the logic/reason behind that Mar 18 16:32:08 the reason is eMMC is detected as mmc0 when no uSD inserted, as it's the first card kernel detects Mar 18 16:32:45 now you insert a uSD and reboot: kernel detects uSD first and names it mmc0, so the eMMC will become mmc1 Mar 18 16:33:05 however when uSD is inserted that becomes mmc0, am I right?? Mar 18 16:33:20 in that "pathological" case, they are renamed later on Mar 18 16:33:38 when uSD is inserted, some script swaps them back... Mar 18 16:34:00 hehe, you lag just a bit :-) Mar 18 16:34:13 sorry typing from N900 Mar 18 16:34:18 np :-) Mar 18 16:34:23 Can't typ any faster :P Mar 18 16:35:12 I get 200 kpm, only 100 less than on pc ;o Mar 18 16:36:34 I'm not sure I can get up to 300 on PC, but I think GeneralAntilles reached 450 on N900 ;-D Mar 18 16:36:48 those were the days Mar 18 16:36:53 yeah Mar 18 16:37:23 I occasionaly go to tenfastfinger.com on N900 and do the test, just for fun :P Mar 18 16:37:34 the legendary live transcription of lectures on maemo conference Mar 18 16:38:02 well, I probably wasn't born in maemo world then :P Mar 18 16:38:05 hi javispedro btw Mar 18 16:38:14 ow yeah, hi =) Mar 18 16:39:48 hello Mar 18 16:42:24 * DocScrutinizer waves and heads out for a shower Mar 18 16:42:40 bye Mar 18 16:46:30 DocScrutinizer, what's that in WPM? Mar 18 16:46:48 depends on the words, no? ;-D Mar 18 16:46:54 Yeah, yeah. Mar 18 16:47:00 KPM is 1/5th of WPM Mar 18 16:47:05 Around 80 I think Mar 18 16:47:15 So, yeah, I was averaging about 300 KPM on the N900. Mar 18 16:47:35 60 WPM Mar 18 16:47:46 N950 keyboard is nowhere near as fast. Mar 18 16:48:08 just a matter of practice or isn't it as nice? Mar 18 16:48:15 No Mar 18 16:48:19 The N950 keyboard sucks Mar 18 16:48:31 Plus the Harmattan text input framework is absolutely riddled with race bugs. Mar 18 16:48:35 Which makes for a lot of deleting. Mar 18 16:49:22 the N950 kbd is really bad, it has no structure at all to feel where the keys start Mar 18 16:49:35 one flat surface Mar 18 16:50:11 so almost as useless for blind typing as a touchscreen vkbd Mar 18 16:51:18 another "optimization" that only is for the shiny look and ignoring usability Mar 18 16:51:32 =( Mar 18 16:51:41 harmattan design is full of that Mar 18 16:51:45 I can type blind on N900 and I love that Mar 18 16:51:51 Words per minute (WPM) 50 Mar 18 16:52:10 Yeah, blinding typing on the N900 rocks. Mar 18 16:52:59 awh typing is an addicive game ;o Mar 18 16:55:05 typically you have such solutions all over the place on HARM: first look "WOW!", use with 10 items or for 10h "nice!", use with 100 items or for 100h "MEH what a crap" Mar 18 16:55:36 xD Mar 18 16:55:45 targeted at occasional isers that want something to show off Mar 18 16:55:51 users* Mar 18 16:56:27 Doc, you need some more typing practice? :P You're going great at typo's today :P Mar 18 16:56:46 already noticed my typing sucks today Mar 18 16:57:22 I'm not in best condition, seems I cought something yesterday that's impairing me Mar 18 16:58:03 anyway, now for real: shower time Mar 18 16:58:06 might help Mar 18 16:58:06 ah parents yelling =/ Got to eat Mar 18 16:58:42 eating, also a great idea, seems I forgot about it for last 48h Mar 18 17:07:31 i'm trying to reinforce the USB port - how do you remove the microsd card PCB? Mar 18 17:08:15 shown removed here; http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=1073214&postcount=22 no mention of remove in disassembly guides i've read Mar 18 17:11:23 dpc Mar 18 17:11:27 DocScrutinizer Mar 18 17:13:12 pry off, doublesided sticky Mar 18 17:13:39 discard the sticky, either replace by new one or simply leave out completely on reassembly Mar 18 17:14:40 or keep it if it survived without any damages like folding and sticking to blobs Mar 18 17:15:25 it's basically not exactly needed for device to work properly ;-) Mar 18 17:15:37 DocScrutinizer: thanks a lot Mar 18 17:15:41 YW Mar 18 17:16:04 was worried there could be a connector under there somewhere in addition to the ribbon cable Mar 18 17:16:11 that might get broken Mar 18 17:16:18 none Mar 18 17:16:45 just be careful about the ribbon, if it breaks it's a complete loss of device Mar 18 17:17:15 cna't get fixed or replaced Mar 18 17:17:59 well, you still could use the basic functions, but for sure no more uSD or cma LED Mar 18 17:18:04 DocScrutinizer: not just a loss of the uSD slot? Mar 18 17:18:04 cam* Mar 18 17:18:17 oh thanks Mar 18 17:18:48 DocScrutinizer: hm, why can't it be fixed? Mar 18 17:18:53 magnet sensor for back cover also on satellite board IIRC Mar 18 17:19:15 kerio: part of PCB Mar 18 17:19:27 oh, it's not detachable? Mar 18 17:19:28 weird Mar 18 17:19:35 yep Mar 18 17:19:39 The PCB has a flex-core Mar 18 17:19:40 very weird Mar 18 17:19:50 as one of the PCB layers Mar 18 17:19:57 :nod: Mar 18 17:20:00 it's exposed to form the flex connecot Mar 18 17:20:23 is it easy to break the ribbon cable? Mar 18 17:20:57 not that easy Mar 18 17:21:01 http://maemo.cloud-7.de/Gallery-N900-exploded/platine_01.jpeg Mar 18 17:21:18 it's rather obust I thik Mar 18 17:21:19 DocScrutinizer: wait, didn't *you* break your ribbon cable? Mar 18 17:21:32 the flex cable to screen, not this one Mar 18 17:22:08 that friggin one has a B2B connector with a sandwich PCB and breaks way too easily Mar 18 17:23:34 what sort of movements do i need to be aware of? Mar 18 17:24:20 just don't bend or pull it too much Mar 18 17:24:33 DocScrutinizer: can i straighten it? Mar 18 17:24:33 for sticky, I think you can see it there: http://maemo.cloud-7.de/Gallery-N900-exploded/n900_11.jpeg Mar 18 17:24:40 just trying to keep it away from the soldering iron Mar 18 17:24:41 yes sure Mar 18 17:25:33 thanks a lot for the advice - i've lost two usb ports before Mar 18 17:26:41 protect camera lens! Mar 18 17:27:29 (I'd say "remove cam module" but for sure you're missing the proper tool for that) Mar 18 17:27:33 DocScrutinizer: from the iron? i'll tape it i guess Mar 18 17:27:41 yeah i saw that in the service manual... Mar 18 17:27:41 yep Mar 18 17:28:21 i suppose one can't just pull it off with small fingers? Mar 18 17:29:14 cam? Mar 18 17:29:16 no way Mar 18 17:29:20 has latches Mar 18 17:30:19 afaik Mar 18 17:30:33 just tape it Mar 18 17:31:51 with thick layer of isolating material, either gaffer tape or (better) a layer of carton and scotchtape Mar 18 18:12:49 is there a way to make sure the screen is locked, whenever I press it a bit longer (accidentally) it gets to customization comes on Mar 18 18:13:08 I just want to disable the customization part Mar 18 18:13:11 is there a way to do it? Mar 18 18:16:47 You mean on desktop? Mar 18 18:22:04 If you have CSSU installed you can disable both, menu and desktop editmode Mar 18 19:05:43 MrPingu: oh? from? Mar 18 19:05:56 MrPingu: is there a wiki or something? Mar 18 19:33:24 Still there? Mar 18 19:35:53 http://wiki.maemo.org/Community_SSU/Features#Features_that_are_configurable_with_gconf Mar 18 19:36:49 or you can install cssu configuration to do it through GUI Mar 18 19:37:34 Well I think you would understand, you need to have CSSU installed first. Mar 18 19:55:12 MrPingu: thanks! Mar 18 20:13:51 You're welcome! Mar 18 21:07:06 fsck on device goes endless (26h of 100% of proc usage after EOF assumed msg) Mar 18 21:07:40 ubuntu after 2h said cannot create unique filename (no idea if I run this correctly) Mar 18 21:07:51 any hint how to fsck emmc remotely? Mar 18 21:09:49 Use Backupmenu Mar 18 21:10:11 for usb rw mode and fsck remotely, or just restoring? Mar 18 21:10:18 The former Mar 18 21:10:39 ok, how do i stop buntu from automounting? Mar 18 21:11:01 if I click on unmount icon, /dev/sdb is no longer available Mar 18 21:11:07 Uh, don't know Mar 18 21:11:10 I Mar 18 21:11:16 I'd manually unmount Mar 18 21:11:19 from the terminal Mar 18 21:11:39 sudo umount keeps Nokia N900 present in /media Mar 18 21:12:00 I assume the cannot unique message was because of readonly Mar 18 21:12:08 ad unmounting is tricky Mar 18 21:12:22 then using unmount icon makes even /dev not respond Mar 18 21:12:50 btw robbie: megaultra Thank YOU! Mar 18 21:13:04 backupmenu is THE shit Mar 18 21:13:41 saved me a lot of times Mar 18 21:13:47 awesome job Mar 18 21:13:53 That's the goal. ;) Mar 18 21:14:27 seriously, other tools are handy, useful, this one is a necessithy Mar 18 21:14:39 cc*(?) whatevs Mar 18 21:15:08 btw... I did see someone mention you can flash a backupmenu backup Mar 18 21:15:13 is thatm true? Mar 18 21:15:27 You have to convert it to a UbiFS image. Mar 18 21:15:40 is there a tool? Mar 18 21:15:57 would make having the perfect setup so much more useful Mar 18 21:15:59 It's possible, requires a Linux desktop and some time. The tools you need are in 'mtdutils'(?) package Mar 18 21:16:21 The process is documented somewhere, but I forget where exactly Mar 18 21:16:25 possible with root/opt/emmc? Mar 18 21:16:38 to get fully same toy you backed up? Mar 18 21:16:46 (kernel hopefully included) Mar 18 21:18:21 Nope; The easiest way I've found is to do it (semi)-manually: Use a clean flashable BM image(there's one linked in the first post) to get BM running Mar 18 21:18:43 Run that, restore your OptFS, and use USB mode to transfer your MyDocs files over Mar 18 21:18:57 not when their RO though Mar 18 21:19:05 MyDocs* Mar 18 21:19:20 The reason it's RO is because it's corrupt. Mar 18 21:19:33 FSCKing will take care of that, or if not, you'll need to format it Mar 18 21:19:38 yup, flashing emmc seems the only way for me Mar 18 21:19:55 Eh, gparted works well enough Mar 18 21:20:16 on scratchbox if I try to use the accounts API, as soon as I create a Manager instance I get "Manager could not be created. DB is locked". any idea ? Mar 18 21:20:28 gonna try that, remote fsck didn't maybe gparted will umount it correctly Mar 18 21:20:40 Do note that BM doesn't require the eMMC to be in working condition, so you can always get to a BM prompt after screwing things up Mar 18 21:21:28 yeah I know, though after installing some lib6/libglib binaries it never even reaches BM Mar 18 21:21:46 maybe get those so BM always runs? Mar 18 21:22:08 No idea how BM bootup is done Mar 18 21:22:35 but if you could keep working copies of crit libs so BM is guaranteed to run... would be quite neat Mar 18 21:22:37 I... don't think I can affect that. BM literally just interupts the standard Maemo boot process, so if the kernel/etc won't boot... Mar 18 21:23:09 load separate(working) libs required before fuckups? Mar 18 21:23:21 so you don't expect a working boot? Mar 18 21:23:41 I don't know how to do that. BM is literally just a large shell-script. Mar 18 21:23:45 backupmenu would be a safe haven, allowing people to backup after crazy tries Mar 18 21:24:04 I'd say backup /beforehand/. Not that hard... Mar 18 21:24:11 hmmm... compile qwith libc6BM and libglibBM statically? Mar 18 21:24:16 of course Mar 18 21:24:26 just a discussion on possible improvement Mar 18 21:24:26 And restoring with BM not working, while annoying, isn't that hard. Mar 18 21:24:33 a secure start shell of sorts Mar 18 21:25:03 so you can get to BM even if maemo doesn't start Mar 18 21:25:04 Well, why don't you look into that? I, honestly, don't know an aweful lot about in-depth boot process. Mar 18 21:25:10 would save many from reflash Mar 18 21:25:17 I think there's a project to do something similar Mar 18 21:25:19 me neither Mar 18 21:25:25 like 'rescue boot' or something Mar 18 21:25:30 yeah Mar 18 21:25:48 if you can load BM from rescue shell, no moire flashing required ever Mar 18 21:26:45 I think that's the idea, it even used BM in it. Literally a stripped-down Maemo image, on SD card or something Mar 18 21:27:14 or xxxBM.so on rootfs Mar 18 21:27:30 sd is more useful in case someone rm -rf... Mar 18 21:27:55 but in case of incompatible lib, separate set of libs that gujarantee BM bootup would be enough Mar 18 21:28:25 However, you have to worry about space, too... Mar 18 21:28:37 I mean, most people have little enough rootfs space as it is Mar 18 21:28:45 robbiethe1st, do you got plans to change BM to use framebuffer instead text2screen? Mar 18 21:28:47 that is true Mar 18 21:29:12 No, not really. Mar 18 21:29:29 I'm honestly busy in real life; so it's basically on life support Mar 18 21:29:41 do you know how much BM used .so's weigh? Mar 18 21:30:21 skipping thne effort for thumb2 it still should be a few megs Mar 18 21:30:23 I see =) Mar 18 21:30:25 No, I don't. Go to /usr/share/backupmenu, there's a file named 'extrafiles.zip' in there Mar 18 21:30:37 got the libs? Mar 18 21:30:44 inside that, there's a text file with a list of libs it loads Mar 18 21:30:59 everything reqired for the minimal chroot it loads into memory Mar 18 21:31:32 thanks Mar 18 21:31:51 BTW, it's GPL... so feel free to mess with it, make your own program based off it, etc. Mar 18 21:33:00 nah, it only has commands like mountsd, mountroot, getlockcode Mar 18 21:33:26 sure thing robbie, was just discussing, hope not harrasing Mar 18 21:34:11 You're looking for 'filelist.txt' Mar 18 21:34:21 It's not inside the bin folder inside the zip Mar 18 21:34:53 so you can get to BM even if maemo doesn't start <-- if somebody is bored, take my rescue initrd and put backupmenu on it. Mar 18 21:35:15 no mention of libglib/libc6 Mar 18 21:35:29 probably some of the ones listed need it then Mar 18 21:35:43 libc.so.6 is in there... Mar 18 21:36:23 That's a complete list; that file is exactly all of the files that get loaded into a tmpfs-based chroot. Mar 18 21:36:45 correct, my bad, thought it was alphabetically Mar 18 21:37:00 wait... Mar 18 21:37:17 so modifying this list to get libcBM.so.6 etc Mar 18 21:37:24 I think it's in a list sorted by 'whichever file I found first via ldd' Mar 18 21:37:32 Yes, you could do that Mar 18 21:37:33 would make it load on bootup unlikely to be borked libs? Mar 18 21:37:41 awesome Mar 18 21:38:03 time for even more butchering it seems :D Mar 18 21:38:09 Well, remember there are two parts to BM: the loader, which runs from the actual rootfs; that file copies this list of files into ram Mar 18 21:38:31 Then it chroots into it, running the main program, which then unmounts all the actual disk filesystems Mar 18 21:38:38 and gives you the menu etc. Mar 18 21:39:35 Sure, if we fsck up loading rootfs it won't run Mar 18 21:39:43 or did I miss something else? Mar 18 21:40:20 Yea Mar 18 21:40:37 Of course, if you can get it to start another way... Mar 18 21:41:05 NIN101 mentioned some initrd rescue Mar 18 21:41:14 haven't yet looked at it Mar 18 21:41:34 maybe it will provide safe 'up to loading rootfs' part Mar 18 21:41:41 this would be cool Mar 18 21:41:43 not maybe Mar 18 21:41:57 :DDD Mar 18 21:42:02 even better then Mar 18 21:42:07 but it would be better to directly integrate it , it would also reduce BM's codesize. Mar 18 21:42:23 unbrickable backup(menu) Mar 18 21:42:28 Go ahead! Mar 18 21:42:34 to a degree at least Mar 18 21:42:48 We also have recovery console from pali Mar 18 21:43:08 Was that the old one? Mar 18 21:43:34 it depends on bootmenu too, it is toast when maemo is toast. Mar 18 21:43:37 I mean that one is a bit multibootfriendlier than BM Mar 18 21:44:01 (or at least libc6, preinit, you naem it) Mar 18 21:44:08 is there untoastable solution? Mar 18 21:44:31 the initrd? Mar 18 21:44:34 We already have it: It's called the USB Flasher interface Mar 18 21:44:47 for which you need second device Mar 18 21:44:49 No matter what we screw up, we can reflash the rootfs. Mar 18 21:45:02 kind of ROM flasher Mar 18 21:45:09 for no USB required Mar 18 21:45:26 somehow set those to rooot who noone has password and can change that Mar 18 21:45:33 So? take a LiveUSB with you, plug it into some public computer, fix the problem and get out before someone wonders what you're up to. ;) Mar 18 21:45:44 I have 2 N900 Mar 18 21:45:54 I heard someone did flash one with another Mar 18 21:46:15 still, having a boot no matter how much you fked up option is nice Mar 18 21:46:54 To be honest, though... I'd just follow the rule of "No upgrades when away from home" Mar 18 21:46:55 flashing in a inet cafe with viruessed as hell xp's is not best option Mar 18 21:47:34 so you still treat your computer as expecting another computer around to fix Mar 18 21:47:34 You aren't going to destroy your rootfs by accident; optfs on the other hand... Mar 18 21:48:08 do you treat your desktop as: as long as I have my N900 in my pocket to flash it it is ok? Mar 18 21:48:20 another option: u-boot Mar 18 21:48:24 Yes, though in the case of a PC, the 'other system' is simply the same device with a USB Live drive or CD Mar 18 21:48:24 it offers choices Mar 18 21:48:27 and a second us with the ability to mount maemo rootfs. Mar 18 21:48:32 s/us/os Mar 18 21:48:39 That's the real difference - the N900 won't boot off a CD or Flash drive Mar 18 21:49:07 yeah, that is an issue Mar 18 21:49:21 boot from hen (hell, we didn't plan hen fu) Mar 18 21:49:47 it is a bit slave device in this context Mar 18 21:50:17 Yes, it is. It's not designed to replace a full PC, but it can be a good adjunct to one. Mar 18 21:50:45 it would bwe nice to have BM-like ROM/bios whatever you call it Mar 18 21:50:53 to offer flash from usb stick Mar 18 21:51:10 U-boot might be able to do that Mar 18 21:51:33 pali's uboot? Mar 18 21:51:34 It runs on the kernel portion of the NAND flash, so it should be /slightly/ more robust Mar 18 21:52:11 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Das_U-Boot Mar 18 21:52:31 nicht schiessen Mar 18 21:52:39 Pali may be maintaining the port for Maemo, but it's a bigger project than just this Mar 18 21:52:40 torpedoen shcootazen Mar 18 21:53:01 oh wait... that was das boot Mar 18 21:53:14 is it really called das uboot?? Mar 18 21:53:16 lol Mar 18 21:54:12 so, robbie, going to BM now, go into rw mode Mar 18 21:54:30 connecting this to a liniux desktop and fsck could work? Mar 18 21:54:58 or is formatting the only way? Mar 18 21:55:09 Try Mar 18 21:55:12 if you got any tips pls share Mar 18 21:55:25 But after getting your files off, I /would/ reformat Mar 18 21:55:30 just umounting and fsck -a? Mar 18 21:55:34 Yes Mar 18 21:55:42 ok, wish me luck Mar 18 21:55:47 And then you can format the same way, from your Ubuntu desktop Mar 18 21:55:57 okie Mar 18 21:56:21 cya guys, and NIN101 talk with you later I hope about a robust recovery module Mar 18 21:56:41 so we do't count on desktops when things go awry Mar 18 21:56:50 my solution needs desktop Mar 18 21:56:56 ? Mar 18 21:57:23 we'll work something out, natively biosly run hen for usb startup Mar 18 21:57:27 or something Mar 18 21:57:38 a kernel and initrd, loaded into RAM, using flasher. That's it. works. Mar 18 21:57:38 we need to free ourselves from pc Mar 18 21:57:43 you need Mar 18 21:57:47 I don't :-). Mar 18 21:57:51 everyone does Mar 18 21:58:06 to have full control experience Mar 18 21:58:08 cyas Mar 18 21:58:29 I would love to see a PC-free recovery Mar 18 21:58:55 but I don't need it, but it would be handy ;) Mar 18 22:00:41 as said: u-boot + another OS on sdcard then Mar 18 23:48:24 robbiethe1st: duh, BM now became a binary? Mar 19 00:11:36 Uh...? Mar 19 00:11:41 No, I don't think so. Mar 19 00:20:03 ooh, then I got sth wrong in backscroll Mar 19 00:21:41 [2012-03-18 22:38:08] Well, remember there are two parts to BM: the loader, which runs from the actual rootfs; that file copies this list of files into ram Mar 19 00:21:56 sounded to me like there's a binary now Mar 19 00:23:15 No, the loader is a shell-script too. Mar 19 00:24:15 BackupMenuLauncher.item sets the chroot up, then runs BackupMenu.item(with sh) inside of it Mar 19 00:25:37 mhm Mar 19 00:25:49 last time I studied it it had no chroot yet Mar 19 00:26:04 iirc Mar 19 00:26:23 I might be wrong Mar 19 00:26:51 anyway forget about that lib stuff, won't pan out Mar 19 00:29:23 Yeah, I expected. For one thing, the same libs are needed to get the loader script working... Mar 19 00:29:36 sure Mar 19 00:30:11 Also, yes, it has a chroot. As of a number of versions ago, when I went from DDing to the rootfs to using tar etc. Mar 19 00:30:31 Cause, you know, wiping the drive you're running from is /not/ a good idea. Mar 19 00:43:14 :nod: - then I just forgot about it. It for sure was after the dd debacle got fixed Mar 19 00:44:28 anyway you might want to look into mtd_debug alternative to dd for creating backup dumps of kernel and CAL Mar 19 00:45:34 I'm not all sure about handling of bad blocks in mtd_debug, but maybe it's worth a shot and learn about that Mar 19 02:16:28 how to get the number like 97374 when installing maemo5-sdk-python.py ? Mar 19 02:22:15 i wouldn't know what "the number like 97374" is... tried echo $RANDOM ? ;) Mar 19 02:22:20 also, it's 3am in europe Mar 19 02:31:22 well, I'm in china, sorry. I'm installing a python script which install Maemo5 SDK environment. It require a number. here is the example link: http://www.stochasticgeometry.ie/2010/04/29/python-on-the-nokia-n900/ Mar 19 02:46:58 Evanescence: i'd guess you have to read the EULA because the number is in there somewhere? ;) Mar 19 02:47:19 r00t|home: ok, thanks very much Mar 19 02:47:40 er... no, it's right there... it's a captcha?! Mar 19 02:47:58 commercial software installations are getting weirder and weirder... Mar 19 02:48:37 done, found it. sorry for night distrubling. Mar 19 02:52:03 well, my fault if i'm reading my irc client instead of sleeping... **** ENDING LOGGING AT Mon Mar 19 02:59:58 2012
