**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Apr 08 03:00:01 2012 Apr 08 05:47:56 hm Apr 08 05:48:00 new cssu Apr 08 05:48:02 nice Apr 08 05:48:20 and a new power kernel Apr 08 05:58:05 is there a changelog? :) Apr 08 06:02:07 zoom functionality? :) Apr 08 07:36:35 Hello,I'm installing neopwn to my n900 ,i extract the w00t.tar.gz to /home/user/.neopwn and what should i edit the /opt/neopwn/control-panel-ui/etc/conf.py Apr 08 08:20:44 anyone in here have info relating to backupmenu and mutiboot? Apr 08 08:21:43 the following thread suggests that there has been work toward to: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=67866 Apr 08 08:22:12 but I was hoping for something that I can install via apt-get rather than messing around with dpkg Apr 08 08:22:44 * joshgillies has been away from the Maemo scene for a while now and needs to catch up Apr 08 08:24:23 You've heard about the n1000? It's got KDE! Apr 08 08:24:30 * SpeedEvil mehs at reality. Apr 08 08:26:00 SpeedEvil the plasma active tablet? Apr 08 08:26:20 Actually - that too, Apr 08 08:26:25 which is interesting. Apr 08 08:30:53 I may not actually buy that, but I'm donating $50ish if I don't Apr 08 09:45:07 I want to resize MyDocs, and then create an ext3 partition of 4GB for Easy Debian: can I just connect MyDocs in massstorage and then use Gparted? Apr 08 09:47:43 drive-by asker :S Apr 08 09:48:19 SpeedEvil: I suppose it's interesting if we can put maemo on it Apr 08 09:48:26 Which should be possible since it uses Mer, afaik Apr 08 09:49:03 NIN101 you mean me? I couldn't make that up from the wiki Apr 08 10:03:13 Hi, on my n900 I got some problems with hildon-home, or something linked to it. Yesterday late at night I was going to bed, so I started to sign out of skype and facebook on both my phone and my computer. Now whenever the phone is turned on it gets spammed with these notification windows (the yellow ones that leads to a chatwindow if I press it). Apr 08 10:03:22 I tried rebooting the phone, but it keeps doing it. Apr 08 10:03:40 I thought about waiting for it to stop, but it loops through the same messages again and again. Apr 08 10:03:58 Deleting the particular chat? Apr 08 10:04:00 I thought about clearing the chathistory that spams the phone, but it keeps spamming notification Apr 08 10:04:40 It actually renders the phone pretty useless Apr 08 10:04:51 As hildon-home is eating up 100% CPU Apr 08 10:05:36 Weird, I guess it can't help you further, sorry. Apr 08 10:05:47 okay, thanks anyway Apr 08 10:11:55 I would have fixed it with reflash, or try to delete the whole eventdb Apr 08 10:16:02 MrOpposite: I assume you can't ssh in? Apr 08 10:20:17 psycho_oreos: pong Apr 08 10:22:45 NIN101: indeed Apr 08 10:24:59 ~drive-by asker is somebody who fires a question at IRQ, then vanishes before anybody could answer Apr 08 10:24:59 DocScrutinizer: okay Apr 08 10:25:25 ~forget drive-by asker Apr 08 10:25:26 DocScrutinizer: i forgot drive-by asker Apr 08 10:25:32 ~drive-by asker is somebody who fires a question at IRC, then vanishes before anybody could answer Apr 08 10:25:33 okay, DocScrutinizer Apr 08 10:25:59 sorry i was afk Apr 08 10:26:17 SpeedEvil I can start the xterminal on the device itself, so I can probably ssh in Apr 08 10:27:00 The device is not useless per sé, but I cant use it as a phone in the state it's in. Apr 08 10:27:02 Eventdb Apr 08 10:27:14 I'm gonna look into what that is Apr 08 10:28:36 find ~user -iname '*vents*' Apr 08 10:29:06 find ~user -iname '*vent*' Apr 08 10:29:10 even Apr 08 10:30:12 or maybe not Apr 08 10:30:35 * DocScrutinizer should shutup and get coffee and aspirin Apr 08 10:33:05 Thanks anyway DocScrutinizer Apr 08 10:34:03 wait a bit, SpeedEvil will eventually pick up. dunno what he had in mind Apr 08 10:34:13 where i can find change log of this update ? Apr 08 10:34:54 where can I find your definition of "this update" Apr 08 10:35:34 I'm not sure. Apr 08 10:35:46 apt-get remove the facebook thingy? Apr 08 10:35:47 aaah, are you the famous guy who asked the third time "what's new in this update" on CSSU tmo thread? Apr 08 10:36:18 DocScrutinizer: newest :) update manager just show me that thereis a new update of cssu Apr 08 10:36:24 DocScrutinizer: no, it's not me :D Apr 08 10:36:51 I could try Apr 08 10:36:59 (Well it's skype but anyway) Apr 08 10:37:13 juozapas: anyway, you're in an infamous row. don't you know and never heard of cssu wiki? Apr 08 10:37:50 my 2 cents : MrOpposite, disabling the chat account doesn't help? Apr 08 10:38:00 k, thx DocScrutinizer Apr 08 10:38:12 http://wiki.maemo.org/Community_SSU/Changelog Apr 08 10:39:01 http://wiki.maemo.org/Community_SSU#Changelog Apr 08 10:39:45 http://wiki.maemo.org/Community_SSU/ChangelogStable Apr 08 10:40:39 Abissom just tried to uninstall the chatpluginenginethingi Apr 08 10:40:45 rebooting phone now Apr 08 10:41:04 hmm, :/ Apr 08 10:42:11 I hate when this happens... It usually means I have to merge together all my contacts... again Apr 08 10:44:42 MrPingu_: for partitioning we generally use Bootmenu (or something else that exposes whole emmc via usb) Apr 08 10:45:14 Darnit... still giving me notifications Apr 08 10:45:22 i used BackupMenu to repartition mine Apr 08 10:45:36 I just discovered that, thanks anyway Abissom Apr 08 10:46:07 kewl Apr 08 10:46:21 Hmm, why is my original nick in use? IRC is acting on me =( Apr 08 10:46:22 anyway what are those windows called? Apr 08 10:46:33 Notifications bubbles? Apr 08 10:46:37 the notification thingies? I don't know what keywords to google Apr 08 10:47:03 hmm, isn't bubbles the little yellow thingies that pop up in the top of the screen? Apr 08 10:47:27 The notification thingies I'm talking about look like real windows when you go to the screen-selector Apr 08 10:47:41 (with the exception of being yellow) Apr 08 10:47:44 I know what you mean Apr 08 10:48:09 I would guess just notification windows Apr 08 10:48:19 yea I'm googleing that now Apr 08 10:49:08 oh hells yeah Apr 08 10:49:10 bloodsport Apr 08 10:49:14 van damme classic Apr 08 10:50:50 3000 new messages atm Apr 08 10:50:52 and rising Apr 08 10:51:08 Can't find your problem Apr 08 10:51:10 And it's the same messages, over, and over, and over... Apr 08 10:51:51 Did you try logging in, logging out, removing account, enabling account again?? Apr 08 10:52:03 uhm, I tried logging in and out Apr 08 10:52:06 removing account Apr 08 10:52:11 not enabeling it Apr 08 10:52:18 enabling* Apr 08 10:52:34 3000 messages? lol Apr 08 10:52:36 MrOpposite: a) spam attack b) IM account and messaging prog problem c) notification infra problem Apr 08 10:52:37 Are you attached to your messages? Apr 08 10:53:03 MrPingu_ not really Apr 08 10:53:17 maybe you are somehow managing to loop your messages :) Apr 08 10:53:29 Macer yes... thats my problem Apr 08 10:53:31 * SpeedEvil remembers 1996. When he got to 8% of his ISPs inbound mail stream. Apr 08 10:53:34 it loops the same messages Apr 08 10:53:41 what are you using? Apr 08 10:53:43 it loops a conversation over and over... Apr 08 10:53:48 is this IM or email? Apr 08 10:53:50 Uhm, the built in skype client Apr 08 10:54:02 MrOpposite: what IS the msg anyway? Apr 08 10:54:04 do you have some weird jabber thing set up to get the skype msgs? Apr 08 10:54:07 - I had started posting to usenet using email ID per message. This was before spam took off. Then spam took off. Apr 08 10:54:21 where it forwards it somehow Apr 08 10:54:30 turn off all forwarding on your skype acct :) and see if that fixes it Apr 08 10:54:33 DocScrutinizer Uhm, its a conversation about what happened on a train? Apr 08 10:55:01 Hmm I think rtcom-eventlogger is playing up?? Apr 08 10:55:02 so normal inbound chat notification that gets duplicated over and over again? Apr 08 10:55:07 you are probably double forwarding and causing a flood of msgs Apr 08 10:55:24 DocScrutinizer yea Apr 08 10:55:30 Macer I removed the skype account Apr 08 10:55:45 guess that will do the trick too heh Apr 08 10:55:47 it still spam me Apr 08 10:55:57 turn off email notifications on skype as well Apr 08 10:56:05 :) Apr 08 10:56:17 I dont have email notification on skype? Apr 08 10:56:39 no? they don't forward missed txts to email? weird. thought they did Apr 08 10:56:51 oh wait. these are skype IMs? Apr 08 10:56:58 yea it's skype IMs Apr 08 10:57:26 first of all: stop skype Apr 08 10:57:36 in terminal Apr 08 10:57:52 didn't have any skyhost running Apr 08 10:57:52 sorry I can't help there as I refuse to touch skype Apr 08 10:57:54 well.. it's looping somehow. awesome trick. if you find out how you did it let me know heh Apr 08 10:57:59 so I guess it's off Apr 08 10:58:19 i would say maybe you added yourself as a contact and it just ran amok? Apr 08 10:58:25 (my skype account doesn't exist in my phone anymore Apr 08 10:58:28 MrPingu_: http://wiki.maemo.org/Repartitioning_the_flash#Using_GParted_-_Resizing_made_simple Apr 08 10:58:35 Macer it happened when I signed out of skype Apr 08 10:58:41 when I was going to bed last night Apr 08 10:58:50 and it kept sending IMs with the acct disabled? Apr 08 10:58:50 not when I was adding contacts or anything Apr 08 10:58:56 or removed? Apr 08 10:58:59 or kept sending emails? Apr 08 10:59:00 You could mv -r /home/user/.rtcom-eventlogger/ /some/backup/location/ Apr 08 10:59:28 that's the strangest thing i ever heard of heh Apr 08 10:59:50 i used skype for quite a while and never ran into that problem.. but i got rid of it on my n900 and only use it for a home number Apr 08 10:59:57 mostly because skype is a battery whore Apr 08 11:00:26 reboot and see if you still get spammed... Apr 08 11:00:26 and txting working in a stupid fashion Apr 08 11:00:40 Oh Apr 08 11:00:48 MrPingu_ i removed it, gonna try reboot now Apr 08 11:00:52 That command moves the conversations database to some other location Apr 08 11:01:51 You could also do rm -r but if it doesn't help, you can't restore... Apr 08 11:02:06 speaking of the n900 Apr 08 11:02:10 has anybody tried nemo? Apr 08 11:02:14 nope Apr 08 11:02:24 still spamming Apr 08 11:02:28 ouch heh Apr 08 11:02:33 I mean I got one email notification Apr 08 11:02:42 one missed call notification Apr 08 11:02:56 and 4000 skype IM (looped) notifications Apr 08 11:03:03 so it's only the skype conversation that loops Apr 08 11:03:04 LOL... wtf? Apr 08 11:03:16 i wonder if you don't need some 'dbus' thing.. monitor what exactly is happening Apr 08 11:03:32 dbus-monitor? Apr 08 11:03:33 this is with the acct removed from the n900? Apr 08 11:03:50 yes the acc is removed Apr 08 11:03:57 yeah.. i admit i'm not even sure how that will help Apr 08 11:04:10 you did go into conversations and delete the actual conversation right? Apr 08 11:04:10 Do you have some notification plugin installed? Apr 08 11:04:23 not... that I know of, no Apr 08 11:04:38 Well then you probably don't have;) Apr 08 11:05:39 also, htop might be handy.. showing you which process is causing this Apr 08 11:06:03 top or htop? Apr 08 11:06:17 Thanks NIN101 I found out that bootmenu also has usbmassstorage support =) Apr 08 11:06:26 any, although i use htop mostly Apr 08 11:06:30 guess htop Apr 08 11:06:49 anyway Apr 08 11:07:02 When I was top-ing before Apr 08 11:07:10 hildon-home used all available CPU Apr 08 11:07:25 kill it as user, not root Apr 08 11:08:16 hmm, you have cssu? if so, which flavor? Apr 08 11:08:36 uhm Apr 08 11:08:41 cssu? Apr 08 11:08:46 I'd suspect /usr/bin/hildon-sv-notification-daemon, killall -sigstop hildon-sv-notification-daemon Apr 08 11:10:29 you also may want to mv /home/user/.osso/rtcom-notification-ui.data /home/user/.osso/rtcom-notification-ui.data__away Apr 08 11:11:08 ~cssu Apr 08 11:11:09 it has been said that cssu is http://wiki.maemo.org/Community_SSU Apr 08 11:11:49 honestly I don't exactly see an easy way to recover from that, as those notifiers need interactive ack, no? Apr 08 11:12:07 and what got cssu to do with this? Apr 08 11:12:35 I moved the rtcom ui-thingi away Apr 08 11:12:51 aswell as killed the hildon-sv-notification-daemon (several times) Apr 08 11:12:58 and killed hildon-home Apr 08 11:13:03 should I reboot the device again? Apr 08 11:13:38 you mustn't kill those processes, as they either cause reboot or will be started again immediately Apr 08 11:14:00 yea Apr 08 11:14:10 well hildon-home crash itself after some time Apr 08 11:14:20 killall hildon-home might help after renaming all those *db Apr 08 11:14:20 and start all over again with the spamming of messages Apr 08 11:14:58 I bet hildonhome crashes when trying to show zillions of notifiers Apr 08 11:15:06 probably Apr 08 11:15:30 I moved away the .osso-folder Apr 08 11:15:37 didn't work either Apr 08 11:15:54 dang! Apr 08 11:16:09 I never looked into all that, so I got no clear idea which processes are involved in notifier popup. Others here might be more experienced Apr 08 11:16:51 but what I seem to know is that notifieres are stored in a db Apr 08 11:17:14 so renaming all suspect ones, then rebooting should at least stop the madness Apr 08 11:19:08 my fav candidates for renaming: /home/user/.osso/rtcom-notification-ui.data /home/user/.config/hildon-desktop/notifications.db /home/user/.rtcom-eventlogger/el.db /home/user/.rtcom-eventlogger/el-v1.db /home/user/.rtcom-eventlogger/el-v1.db-journal Apr 08 11:19:59 killall -SIGSTOP hildon-home etc Apr 08 11:20:06 SIGSTOP!!! Apr 08 11:20:26 then rename, then immediately reboot Apr 08 11:21:19 you know you sigstop'ed the right process when the madness stops and no more new notifiers pop up Apr 08 11:21:36 sigstop on hildon-home stopped the madness... Apr 08 11:21:39 hmm Apr 08 11:22:44 renaming important folders MAY not have been such a good idea after all... Apr 08 11:22:55 possibly stopping certain proceses may trigger watchdog reboot after 30..60s Apr 08 11:23:30 Anyway, I think i need to reflash the device now Apr 08 11:24:08 (I went bananaz in my quest to stop the madness, and renamed pretty much every config folder there was... now the device refuses to start) Apr 08 11:24:08 i think you don't, but it may be quickest way to recover Apr 08 11:24:27 also you should make sure you got a "plan B" backdoor, like backupmenu. So if your renaming causes any bootloop, you could revert to prev state via that Apr 08 11:25:11 uhm, maybe if someone told me that earlier :P Apr 08 11:25:12 anyway Apr 08 11:25:26 Let's hope it solves itself after a reflasg Apr 08 11:25:30 reflash* Apr 08 11:25:36 unlikely Apr 08 11:25:53 I'd be REALLY suprised if it doesn't solve it Apr 08 11:26:10 I mean factory restore Apr 08 11:26:22 I suspect a hickup in one of the databases. and reflashing COMBINED won't touch your user $HOME so won't restore the db either Apr 08 11:27:59 did flasher3.5 work with windows 7? Apr 08 11:28:07 even while the X server maybe won't start when you've hidden some essential .config, I'd still expect wlan and ssh to come up and work Apr 08 11:28:09 I think I remember reading somewhere that it doesn't Apr 08 11:28:28 DocScrutinizer it's stuck in the 5 white dots loadingscreen Apr 08 11:28:39 :nod: Apr 08 11:29:04 at that point a lot of services not related to hildon may already run Apr 08 11:29:16 okay Apr 08 11:29:20 MrOpposite: NIN101 worked on a very useful RescueOS. you might try it Apr 08 11:29:29 indeed Apr 08 11:29:42 where do I find it? Apr 08 11:30:05 http://206.253.166.96/N900/rescueOS/ Apr 08 11:31:59 thanks Apr 08 11:32:53 afk Apr 08 11:33:05 * DocScrutinizer waves Apr 08 11:33:08 NIN101, can you add to rescue os option to recreate /dev/console, /dev/tty, /dev/zero and /dev/null ? Apr 08 11:34:39 uhm what does the n900 pull from the usbport when the data-pins are shorted? Apr 08 11:34:51 ?? Apr 08 11:35:13 As in how much milli ampere Apr 08 11:35:25 max ~1000 Apr 08 11:35:47 don't charge the phone from PC usb using RescueOS (or BackupMenu) Apr 08 11:35:47 Okay Apr 08 11:35:47 usually less Apr 08 11:36:07 Sicelo yea I read about that Apr 08 11:36:23 but what I mean is, I have a usb-cable that shorted the data-pins Apr 08 11:36:29 to emulate a wall-charger Apr 08 11:36:55 * DocScrutinizer wonders if should tell robbiethe1st about how to tweak charger script to draw max 500mA Apr 08 11:36:58 (So I can charge my phone in my computer while the computer is in sleep-mode and only giving power through the usb-ports, not communicating Apr 08 11:37:38 MrOpposite: odds are in worst case that'll fry your PC Apr 08 11:38:08 though that's a problem in PC then, as USB is defined as shortcircuit safe Apr 08 11:38:18 okay Apr 08 11:38:57 Will it fry because of doing it over time, or fry the moment I try it? Apr 08 11:39:07 Because I've been doing that for like 2 months Apr 08 11:39:21 a friggin *lot* of other devices doesn't care at all about this particular problem: USB mug heater, 3.5" USB HDD etc pp Apr 08 11:39:50 after 2 months you can consider it tested and working ;-) Apr 08 11:39:57 okay, cool Apr 08 11:40:28 (I always have my laptop in my backpack in sleepmode, so that's like a HUGE batterypack for my n900) Apr 08 11:41:24 anyway, now I'm gonna flash my phone :P Apr 08 11:41:34 not many PC can provide even full 500mA to USB during sleep Apr 08 11:42:46 man how did this work again? Apr 08 11:42:56 (the boot into flash-mode) Apr 08 11:43:07 first real poweroff (no usb) Apr 08 11:43:17 Could someone link me to a guide? Apr 08 11:43:23 oh wait Apr 08 11:43:25 nvm someone did Apr 08 11:50:23 NOTE: Always flash the eMMC image first, then the FIASCO image immediately after that. Never boot up the device between flashing the FIASCO image and the eMMC image! When flashing eMMC always also flash FIASCO rootfs - NEVER boot the device between the two flashes. Apr 08 11:50:39 Uhm, my curious mind wants to know why :P Apr 08 11:56:01 because flashing eMMC deletes /opt, and during first boot of a proper rootfs it will get autogenerated (aka optified) again Apr 08 11:56:11 MrOpposite: ^^^ Apr 08 11:56:37 ah, okay Apr 08 11:56:43 thanks Apr 08 11:56:48 yw Apr 08 11:58:03 NB this happens *very* rapidly during first boot, so you might think "it hasn't booted yet" but actually you already ruined the virgin rootfs, so after flashing eMMC it won't boot anymore Apr 08 11:58:50 on the bright side you *always* can flash rootfs/COMBINED as last step, and it will always result in a working (=optifying) system Apr 08 11:58:58 Pali: hmm, I think I can, yes. Apr 08 11:59:06 okay Apr 08 11:59:13 not... this shit again Apr 08 11:59:14 no matter in which sequence you flashed COMBINED and VANILLA before Apr 08 11:59:16 MAN Apr 08 11:59:56 My computer i flashed the n900 with before Apr 08 12:00:00 is not booting anymore Apr 08 12:00:06 :-S Apr 08 12:00:14 dang, you got the gremlins today Apr 08 12:00:27 this computer runs windows 7 64-bit and don't run flasher-3.5 properly Apr 08 12:00:39 well... Apr 08 12:00:40 nfc anout winlose Apr 08 12:00:48 about, even Apr 08 12:00:55 let's install flasher-3.5 on my 3rd computer Apr 08 12:00:58 with linux Apr 08 12:01:04 good idea Apr 08 12:01:08 \o/ Apr 08 12:01:12 I thought someone made livecd for flashing purposes Apr 08 12:01:49 this, though a briliant idea, hasn't happened yet afaik Apr 08 12:02:01 * DocScrutinizer wonders if should tell robbiethe1st about how to tweak charger script to draw max 500mA <-- I am interested in that too (charge21.sh) so I can autostart it in rescueOS which should be very useful. Apr 08 12:02:27 some nice knopix with proper flasher3.5 and all the COMBINED and VANILLA imgs Apr 08 12:03:00 NIN101: ok, wait a minute, I'll pick out the one-char "patch" for you Apr 08 12:05:06 man, if it weren't for cygwin, I wouldn't be able to use my windowscomputer Apr 08 12:05:09 at.. all Apr 08 12:05:50 Next time I buy a computer I'm gonna check that I can actually use the GFX-card with linux... Apr 08 12:11:15 what gfx cards are still sold that don't work with linux? Apr 08 12:12:47 villager well, ATI-cards :P Apr 08 12:13:00 Technically it works Apr 08 12:13:25 MrOpposite: hmm, I have ATI on my desktop, and run linux... Apr 08 12:14:00 yea, well, it might have came out some drivers latley Apr 08 12:14:23 but I don't have enough harddrive space to back up my data before attepmting to install linux on it again Apr 08 12:15:23 NIN101: see line 48...50 for rationale Apr 08 12:15:23 then again, I suppose the ATI card I have isn't the newest anymore, I guess the newest ones might not work Apr 08 12:16:29 NIN101: avoid setting reg01 to 88 or c8 Apr 08 12:17:48 but that must mean my computer isn't top-end anymore... maybe I gotta upgrade... argh Apr 08 12:17:49 NIN101: 11: i2cset -y 2 0x6b 0x01 0x4c # 500mA limit, 3.4V weak threshold, enable term, charger disable Apr 08 12:18:18 there we go Apr 08 12:18:44 let's se how the phone feels after THIS fix! Apr 08 12:18:51 *evil laughter* Apr 08 12:19:03 uhm Apr 08 12:19:06 without "er" Apr 08 12:19:20 NIN101: see 57: Apr 08 12:19:49 NIN101: comment 84:...90: Apr 08 12:20:25 NIN101: that's it, I hope Apr 08 12:20:29 untested Apr 08 12:20:42 uhm Apr 08 12:20:46 why doesn't it boot up Apr 08 12:20:48 NIN101: comments & patches apply to http://enivax.net/jk/n900/charge21.sh.txt Apr 08 12:20:48 it should boot up Apr 08 12:20:58 thanks DocScrutinizer, looking into it Apr 08 12:21:15 THERE Apr 08 12:21:16 nvm Apr 08 12:22:52 man Apr 08 12:22:52 NIN101: maybe I feel like doing a lil fancy today and write a more 'nifty' script, for the shits'n giggles Apr 08 12:22:57 This sucks Apr 08 12:23:03 where you can set max charge via parameter Apr 08 12:23:19 that would be cool stuff. Apr 08 12:23:35 OMG Apr 08 12:23:38 THE MADNESS STOPPED! Apr 08 12:23:46 INCREDIBLE Apr 08 12:24:03 well Apr 08 12:24:08 I hit it with a sledgehammer and it actually stopped!1!!1!!!1!1 Apr 08 12:24:09 Now all my contacts are gone Apr 08 12:24:25 Maybe I should have thought this trough a bit more Apr 08 12:24:27 ... Apr 08 12:24:31 the result of flashing eMMC Apr 08 12:24:31 I'm waay to impulsive Apr 08 12:24:58 I should get rid of the nitdroid on my memcard Apr 08 12:25:11 and start using those 16 gigs for something useful Apr 08 12:25:14 like all my photos Apr 08 12:27:04 .__ Apr 08 12:27:07 .__.* Apr 08 12:27:19 I think I just sent a textmessage to my mums workphone... Apr 08 12:27:29 anyway Thanks for the help guis Apr 08 12:27:34 guys* Apr 08 12:30:40 yw Apr 08 12:31:19 MrOpposite: (and start using those 16 gigs for something useful) like backups ;-P Apr 08 12:33:28 maybe I should syncronize my phone with my computer some more Apr 08 12:35:16 NIN101: http://maemo.cloud-7.de/maemo5/patches_n_tools/charge21_500mA-USBlimit__UNTESTED.sh Apr 08 12:37:00 is that for n900? Apr 08 12:37:59 DocScrutinizer: thank you. Apr 08 12:42:11 omg Apr 08 12:42:18 Do I actually have a backup Apr 08 12:42:30 I might have an old backup Apr 08 12:47:19 hmm, but I think this script would make the meego kernel panic. The one working uses bq to get the information. Shouldn't be an issue to apply the changes though... Apr 08 12:56:25 indeed Apr 08 13:01:02 NIN101: just check for lines like >>$I2CSET -y 2 0x6b 0x01 0xc8;<<, make sure you don't set register 0x01 to any value 0x8? or 0xc? Apr 08 13:01:22 as those are 800mA resp "unlimited" Apr 08 13:02:41 watching gangster number 1 Apr 08 13:02:48 not too bad of a movie Apr 08 13:12:08 DocScrutinizer: i2cset -y 2 0x6b 0x01 0x48; \n sleep 1 \n echo -n " 500mA: " $(i2cget -y 2 0x6b 0x00) <-- i2cset -y 2 0x6b 0x01 0x48 => what does 0x48 mean (sorry, apparently i2c noob here)? Apr 08 13:13:03 set bus2 reg0x01 to 0x48 Apr 08 13:13:24 the bit meanings of reg01 are "explained" in charge21.sh Apr 08 13:14:11 bit 8:4 (the two msb) are max USB current: 11 is unlimited, 10 is 800mA Apr 08 13:15:22 so setting it to 0100 1000 means: USBlimit:01=500mA, the rest is irrelevant for here Apr 08 13:15:40 bit4 means charger-enabled Apr 08 13:15:49 err bit3 Apr 08 13:16:06 also bit7:6 in above Apr 08 13:16:21 (one-off problem, not yet awake ;-D) Apr 08 13:16:54 bit3:0=0 means "no boostmode" and a few other details Apr 08 13:17:59 bit5:4 is is some threshold, I forgot what it does exactly Apr 08 13:19:10 NIN101: so *whenever* writing to register 01 ( i2cset -y 2 0x6b 0x01 ) make sure the value is < 0b10000000 Apr 08 13:19:50 I.E MSB = 0 Apr 08 13:20:21 NIN101: sufficiently fuzzy and arcane to spoil your day? ;-D Apr 08 13:21:09 yeah xD. Apr 08 13:31:51 #define usb_unlimited 3; #define usb_800mA 2; #define usb_500 1; #define usb_100 0; #define usb_curlim_bitpos 6; #define reg1_usb_mask usb_unlimited << usb_curlim_pos; //set reg1 to 500mA USB:\n reg1&=~reg1_usb_mask //similar thing can be done by i2cset -m parameter; reg1|=usb_500mA< NIN101: ^^^ better? Apr 08 13:35:58 reg1&=~reg1_usb_mask => reg1&=0b00111111 Apr 08 13:36:48 reg1|=usb_500mA< reg1|=0b01000000 Apr 08 13:38:33 = i2cset -y -m 0xc0 2 0x6b 0x01 0x40 Apr 08 13:38:58 or Apr 08 13:39:23 = i2cset -y -m 0b11000000 2 0x6b 0x01 0b01000000 Apr 08 13:45:01 a gotcha in -m: it does an implicit i2cget and then writes all 8 bit after replacing the masked bits in read value by their values from parameter. The catch is that always all 8 bits are written Apr 08 13:45:42 which matters for registers that yield differnt values on read than those you've written to the same register before Apr 08 13:46:07 luckily this doesn't apply for reg1 Apr 08 13:48:30 but it does for e.g. reg0:7 and reg4:7 Apr 08 13:53:51 actually I think the explaining comment about bit meanings in charge21.sh is as confusing as it gets Apr 08 13:57:19 # Register 0x1 Apr 08 13:57:20 # 8: 00 = 100, 01 = 500, 10 = 800mA Apr 08 13:57:22 # 4: 11 = no limit Apr 08 13:57:23 better looks like Apr 08 13:57:25 # 7,6 (0xc0): 00 (0x00 )= 100, 01 (0x40) = 500, 10 (0x80) = 800mA Apr 08 13:57:26
