**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sat Jun 02 02:59:58 2012 Jun 02 06:37:25 na ir naujienos sendiena Jun 02 06:37:59 ups, sorry Jun 02 08:56:02 how can I get a recent gcc on maemo? Jun 02 09:09:56 eddyb: in SDK? Wouldn't that also require recompiling really everything else? Jun 02 09:10:41 so, should I switch to mer/tizen? Jun 02 09:11:06 I haven't found anything on tizen, but mer (as Nemo) has an external SD card installation guide Jun 02 09:20:04 please don't tell me I bricked this thing with uboot Jun 02 09:20:22 nope, just slow booting as always Jun 02 09:20:22 eddyb, well, Maemo is rather dead. Cannot recommend anything as I don't know what you want to do. Jun 02 09:20:35 uboot worked for me when I installed it three weeks ago on an N900 Jun 02 09:20:42 (and Mer in parallel) Jun 02 09:20:56 yepp, didn't break Jun 02 09:21:32 omg, I thought "rebooting eats your battery" wasn't that bad Jun 02 09:29:18 and I only have 1GB microSD cards, not enough for mer Jun 02 09:31:20 16gb microsd is not enough for mer :o Jun 02 09:31:21 ? Jun 02 09:31:46 can't you read? Jun 02 09:31:48 1GB Jun 02 09:32:09 dyslexic eeek Jun 02 09:32:15 see :) Jun 02 09:32:35 i read it 3 times though Jun 02 09:33:21 oh, mkay Jun 02 09:33:36 although... why does it need 4GB? Jun 02 09:34:10 the .bz2 file is ~300MB Jun 02 09:34:14 eddyb, your 16gb microsd is not enough for mer? Jun 02 09:34:20 sorry I had to :p Jun 02 09:34:35 that means there are about 3.5GB of zeroes Jun 02 09:34:49 (that's what .bz2 is used for, usually) Jun 02 09:35:34 anyway, I think that it doesn't actually have to. They have just taken an image of it installed on a microsd card. If you mounted it by loopback and copied it over appropriately then you don't need that big of an sd card (likely) Jun 02 09:36:13 the question is - does it have/need a boot sector? Jun 02 09:36:32 No Jun 02 09:36:59 oh, then they could have just as well made a .tar.gz of the contents Jun 02 09:37:44 Yes, but somehow they have the impression that it's easier for installation if you have it as an image (I believe that was what was said the last time I bugged them about it) Jun 02 09:37:57 seriously? Jun 02 09:38:02 rather than copy-paste? Jun 02 09:41:48 hmm, what was the tool for managing partitions? Jun 02 09:42:33 the MBR ones Jun 02 09:45:45 oh, yast can manage loopback files, but they're called "crypt files" Jun 02 09:45:50 damn translations Jun 02 09:47:32 seriously? can't I use an unencrypted loopback file? Jun 02 10:12:33 Termana: I knew there was a reason they made it like this, it's a three-partition microSD image Jun 02 10:12:56 there's an ext(2, I think) partition, a swap one and a FAT32 one Jun 02 10:13:33 the swap is 8GB, a bit excessive Jun 02 11:28:38 ok, time to swipe some potential threats off my server Jun 02 11:30:42 I mean, I must be a poor system admin when I keep users on my server which have a record to abuse all kinds of IT infra and act hostile against admins/operators Jun 02 11:35:45 hehe Jun 02 11:36:15 depends on who has made that list Jun 02 11:52:48 omg mer/Nemo uses zypper :D Jun 02 11:53:23 what else? Jun 02 11:53:40 and what's wrong with zypper? Jun 02 11:54:05 :D means I'm happy Jun 02 11:54:24 also, in another channel: thank God, finally something decent, apt-get was killing me Jun 02 11:54:24 :-) Jun 02 11:54:40 hehe Jun 02 12:04:39 *yawn* Jun 02 12:07:12 eddyb: as you just mention nemo, got a link handy for sdcard install? Jun 02 12:07:52 without uboot Jun 02 12:11:07 nope, didn't find anything like that Jun 02 12:11:18 hmm Jun 02 12:11:20 wait, sd card as in external microSD? Jun 02 12:11:26 you can't do that without uboot Jun 02 12:11:38 yes Jun 02 12:12:06 well a modified kernel like with meego handset would be nice for a tryout Jun 02 12:12:50 just install uboot-pr13 Jun 02 12:13:13 and you can put anything you want on that microSD (that is compatible with the device) and try it Jun 02 12:14:15 * chem|st had horrible experiences with uboot back in 2012 Jun 02 12:14:18 2010 Jun 02 12:49:08 chem|st: it works fine now, except it can't find my microSD card Jun 02 12:52:51 hehe Jun 02 12:56:40 chem|st: it was the charger being connected to USB, apparently Jun 02 13:07:48 "it2 being what? Jun 02 13:07:53 "it" Jun 02 13:10:16 DocScrutinizer51: the problem Jun 02 13:13:00 hmm, almost as helpful as "it = the event that happened at 14:53" Jun 02 13:14:11 DocScrutinizer51: just look at my message before that one Jun 02 13:14:14 DocScrutinizer51: sdcard was not recognized as the wallcharger was still connected Jun 02 13:14:23 "it works fine now, except it can't find my microSD card / it was the charger being connected to USB, apparently" Jun 02 13:15:19 in the first message it = uboot, in the second message it = the reason why the problem in the first message existed Jun 02 13:15:40 hmm, when fastcharger results in system entering mass storage mode, then there's sth buggy Jun 02 13:16:18 anyway, too much communicative overhead to get involved in helping Jun 02 13:18:04 I got Nemo booting now Jun 02 14:14:39 hmm, "980M of 27G; files processed: 10451 of 453865; time: 1:31.56, remaining 47:32.41; 170.34 kB/s" -- think I'd love this dlink would be able of gbit-ethernet Jun 02 14:17:24 DocScrutinizer51: you'd love 10Mbps Jun 02 14:18:33 actually I think the bottleneck is source PC's CPU which is at 100% load on one of the 2 cores, probably for SSL of ssh Jun 02 14:19:17 connection is 100BT Jun 02 14:20:13 which vlearly should have lots of headroom to go better than 180kB/s Jun 02 14:20:19 clearly* Jun 02 14:21:16 not that it hurts me lots if this mirgration to new laptop takes another 3 days just to copy data Jun 02 14:24:47 but maybe a loopmount of the diskimage of old PC on that external USB HDD would've done better Jun 02 14:25:14 DocScrutinizer51: connect. mount. copy Jun 02 14:25:35 I once cloned my partitions, and it still took an hour Jun 02 14:25:57 you could check what exactly is using CPU Jun 02 14:28:21 I already was to type "that's easy" - then I noticed friggin KDE system monitor process table doesn't make any sense. it doesn't show any CPU hogging processes Jun 02 14:28:47 lolz, what CPU? Jun 02 14:29:12 there's a small chance it's something in the kernel Jun 02 14:29:19 or the network adapter Jun 02 14:33:40 well, seems it's nothing particular, just all ssh overhead together, plus fs overhead to open() etc all those 500k files Jun 02 14:34:23 copying a few >10MB files ramped bandwidth up to > 250kB/s Jun 02 14:34:40 ETA down to <30h now Jun 02 14:37:08 killing two nspluginviewer processes ramped it up further to >275kB/s Jun 02 14:37:11 DocScrutinizer51: OH BIG FAIL THERE. you should've .tar.gz'd them before transfer Jun 02 14:37:26 DocScrutinizer51: lol, still having flash running? Jun 02 14:37:57 sure, I'll tar up and gz the whole 27GB $HOME, on that disk that has 300MB free space Jun 02 14:38:20 sepparate /home partition? bad idea Jun 02 14:38:21 which, even if feasible due to free disk storage, would take days for itself Jun 02 14:38:47 no separate home partition, why do you think I had? Jun 02 14:38:59 What FS? Jun 02 14:39:11 ext3 on source, ext4 on dest Jun 02 14:39:14 DocScrutinizer51: oh, the $HOME thing, my bad Jun 02 14:40:04 using mc #sh:// fs to copy Jun 02 14:40:20 not sftp? Jun 02 14:40:22 hmm.. odd. wonder if cpio would have been faster? :) Jun 02 14:40:54 eddyb: I thinks it's scp, not sftp Jun 02 14:41:15 SFTP>SCP, IIRC Jun 02 14:41:19 mc is single-threaded, which slows it down a lot for tiny files. Lots of overhead in the open/close bits. Jun 02 14:41:21 like, SCP is older and slower Jun 02 14:41:59 Woody14619: yeah, but mc running on dest, which is at a relaxed 8% CPU load Jun 02 14:42:36 it's the ssh "link" overhead in itself I guess Jun 02 14:43:05 right, but if it's setting up connections for each file as it goes to copy it, that's a lot of overhead... Jun 02 14:43:16 yeah, indeed Jun 02 14:43:32 that's why copying of 27G seems to take 25+ hours Jun 02 14:43:40 I think SFTP copy+paste would be faster Jun 02 14:43:51 and it should work on an already running SSH server Jun 02 14:44:17 on the bright side though it resumes even after pulling the ethernet cable and replugging it Jun 02 14:44:28 I think tar or cpio piped through a ssh connection would have been as well. :) Jun 02 14:45:19 am I the only one thinking how encryption is useless in this situation? Jun 02 14:45:32 hmm, ETA 15:36.37 Jun 02 14:45:48 sure it's useless Jun 02 14:46:03 but it's the only open service on that source PC Jun 02 14:46:09 At those speeds, a private bittorrent sever/client would be faster. :P Jun 02 14:46:22 maybe :-D Jun 02 14:46:36 heck, connect the two computers with an ethernet cable, and pipe cpio through a TCP connection Jun 02 14:46:41 as mentioned above, I'm not in a hurry Jun 02 14:46:47 well... if it's no rush... makes more time for drinking. :) Jun 02 14:47:08 just idly watching and wondering Jun 02 14:47:26 for mere academic interest Jun 02 14:48:42 513kB/s ETA 12h Jun 02 14:49:22 i've got a script in event.d that does cryptdisk start, even if i do cryptdisks start || initctl emit CRYPT_OK the next task says dependent task ended with exit code 1 (i want it to fail silently and load the non-luks home) Jun 02 14:50:36 hmm, interesting Jun 02 14:51:02 nfc about upstart Jun 02 14:52:08 i wonder if there's some strange try..catch thing that still gets the error code from timeouting cryptsetup Jun 02 14:52:17 ...and I heard it's quite some "fun" to debug Jun 02 14:52:36 kke: I guess you're close Jun 02 14:54:01 hmmm maybe if i modify the /etc/init.d/cryptdisks script to fail silently and test if the /dev/mapper -entry exists in the event.d script Jun 02 14:54:34 kke: sorry, noob here re cryptdisk Jun 02 14:55:16 but I think we got 2 or 3 users around here who played with that stuff on fremantle Jun 02 14:55:48 alas I can't exactly recall their nicks Jun 02 14:56:13 chem|st: were you one of them? Jun 02 15:01:03 HAH, 6 of the 8GB RAM used for buffers :-), 1GB unused Jun 02 15:01:53 I kinda start to love that T500 Jun 02 15:03:54 age old unix saying: there's nothing to substitute real RAM, except more real RAM Jun 02 15:04:19 deduplication. Jun 02 15:05:00 * DocScrutinizer51 is just worried about suspend-to-disk, with RAM=8GB, swap=2GB Jun 02 15:06:06 * DocScrutinizer51 wonders if nowadays suspend-to-disk creates a swapfile just for sole purpose to swap out RAM before suspend, and deletes same swapfile after resume Jun 02 15:08:10 but then, I think I've seen kernel boot msgs like "trying to resume from /dev/sda7" Jun 02 15:08:38 would quite defeat the purpose of any such swapfile approach, I guess Jun 02 15:10:53 meh, ETA 13h now, counting UP Jun 02 15:13:30 I probably should get rid eventually of all those backups inside backups inside backups inside backups ;-P Jun 02 15:14:52 wasn't there a tool to identify file of indetical content and arbitrary filenames, and 'clean' stuff out? Jun 02 15:15:20 files of identical...* Jun 02 15:17:42 * DocScrutinizer51 ponders a hash table of filesizes, calculating md5sums for those filesizes where more than one file exists Jun 02 15:18:52 actually for those hashkeys that have more than one entry Jun 02 15:19:15 for the files with that hashkey from their size Jun 02 15:27:42 could it be that event.d scripts aren't bash/ash/sh/whatever scripts at all Jun 02 15:27:56 and that's why it fails Jun 02 15:28:35 have to move that stuff to a shellscript and execute that Jun 02 15:35:34 event.d are no shellscripts Jun 02 15:35:51 that might explain it Jun 02 15:37:38 it probably does :-) Jun 02 15:39:25 what really sucks in my copy-action are those files in ~user/ that are not even readable by user Jun 02 15:40:27 as each single one pops up a warning requester to ask whether to skip or retry, and another one to decide whether to keep or delete the copy Jun 02 15:43:45 ahhhh excellent Jun 02 15:45:19 now i got a fake home/user for finder/confiscater/jealous gf to wonder about and if i enter passphrase bilndly during boot it mounts the real home Jun 02 15:49:01 that's pretty decent concept Jun 02 15:50:06 hey all, i have a N900 here and Canon EOS DSLR camera. is there a way to connect them with USB OTG? so i can upload pics from the camera? Jun 02 15:50:24 GuySoft, of course Jun 02 15:50:46 as long as it uses normal mass storage, not some propertiary closed shit Jun 02 15:50:50 Estel_, i saw stuff about gphoto2, but nothing that seemed like it would work as easy Jun 02 15:51:07 GuySoft: Can you connect it to a normal PC, and mount it as storage - with no other software? Jun 02 15:51:36 SpeedEvil, i am going to a demonstration in two hours, i dont want to take out the sd card and much about with it Jun 02 15:51:52 also SpeedEvil , long time no see :) Jun 02 15:52:35 GuySoft, You can use hostmode on N900 Jun 02 15:53:01 then connect Your camera to it, as far as what I've askes - and SpeedEvil too - is valid Jun 02 15:53:06 Estel_, I think it uses MTP or something, its not a simple storage Jun 02 15:53:21 hey Jun 02 15:53:36 Then I'm unsure of how it'd work - MTP Jun 02 15:53:38 as long as we have modules for it in kernel, or drivers, available on N900, it's ok Jun 02 15:53:44 same here. Jun 02 15:53:53 can You connect it to linuxbox? Jun 02 15:54:35 if yes, try with N900 hostmode. If fail, determine which modules are missing (open source only) and ask Pali to include them in new version of kernel-power Jun 02 15:54:53 ~hen Jun 02 15:54:53 do ~hostmode and ~factinfo hostmode, this is your maemo council :-/ Jun 02 15:55:11 eh, DocScrutinizer51 doing childlish things again Jun 02 15:55:22 ~hostmode Jun 02 15:55:23 well, hostmode is piece of crap written by morons to fry other people's devices! beware! Jun 02 15:55:30 hm Jun 02 15:55:50 it seems that You won't get info about hostmode here, DocScrutinizer51 turned into masochist Jun 02 15:56:30 ~factinfo hostmode Jun 02 15:56:30 error: you do not have enough flags for that. (o required) Jun 02 15:56:30 hostmode -- created by MohammadAG <~MohammadA@62.219.120.20> at Mon May 10 21:17:16 2010 (753 days); last modified 16h 34m 44s ago by Estel_!~Estel@lagrange.cloud-7.de; it has been requested 64 times, last by Estel_, 1m 8s ago; it has been locked by DocScrutinizer. Jun 02 15:57:16 nice provocation, although, childlish as usual. Jun 02 15:57:52 whatever, GuySoft, thanks to courtesy of our pathetic chanop, You must search TMO for hostmode manually.

It's *not* T-MO (see ~T-MO) or trolls, morons, oxen. Jun 02 15:58:46 I think ill just have to cope with the fact that I'll have to upload the photos after the demo Jun 02 15:58:55 well Jun 02 15:59:28 alternatively, You can tell us about effects of trying hostmode Jun 02 15:59:50 Estel_, I can't even get it to turn on - what packages do i need? Jun 02 16:00:08 i.e. Your dmesg output Jun 02 16:00:17 i am a n810 owner that got lent a n900, after i hard-bricked my Samsung Galaxy S 2.. so I am not sure where to go Jun 02 16:00:26 Estel_, hmm let me look at that Jun 02 16:00:27 what to turn on - hostmode, or camera. Jun 02 16:00:47 GuySoft, install kernel-power and H-E-N package Jun 02 16:00:55 then follow instructions for HEN Jun 02 16:01:48 can't seem to get anything Jun 02 16:01:50 sorry, need to go shopping now, but if You provide more details about step where You have problems, I'm sure others will help Jun 02 16:01:57 ok Jun 02 16:02:04 "get anything" is not very precise Jun 02 16:02:16 learn instructions and tell us about step that fails for You Jun 02 16:05:13 GuySoft: find out about Canon EOS DSLR supported USB modes. I guess there's no support in maemo-fremantle (yet?) for this MTP or whatever protocol. but I'd expect Canon as well supports mass storage mode which should 'just work' with H-E-N Jun 02 16:06:06 MTP is what all new android phones do Jun 02 16:06:16 instead of mass storage mode Jun 02 16:06:39 isn't it riddled by microsoft 'encryption" and authentication? Jun 02 16:07:17 hi jacekowski btw Jun 02 16:08:45 * DocScrutinizer51 foggily recalls that awesome guy who did RE effort on it Jun 02 16:09:10 if that's even been this MTP Jun 02 16:11:55 GuySoft, sorry to say that, but Your camera is using worst possible, propertiary fucked up transfer system... Jun 02 16:12:07 unless it can fall back to godly mass storage Jun 02 16:12:36 on linux, You can use ligphoto2 libray to handle MTP Jun 02 16:14:39 Estel_, thats cannon for you.. Jun 02 16:15:17 MTP is much better thing than mass storage Jun 02 16:15:43 on mobile devices it means you can access files on computer and device Jun 02 16:15:47 at the same time Jun 02 16:15:56 you don't need old fat partition Jun 02 16:15:58 or ntfs Jun 02 16:16:12 but you can have native FS for that device Jun 02 16:16:27 mass storage mode should have never existed for anything but external HDDs Jun 02 16:20:50 http://bash.org/?950581 - heh Jun 02 16:33:27 jacekowski, yea, but, unfortunately, mtp is screwed at implementation level ;) Jun 02 16:33:49 honestly, I hate very much every device that uses this crap, hiding real filesystem from me... Jun 02 16:34:04 ...using closed clients, or whatsnot Jun 02 16:34:25 you don't need closed clients Jun 02 16:34:35 maybe mass storage shouldn't existed for other things than external hdd, but in practice, it's much less PITA Jun 02 16:34:50 ok, maybe something changed. I remember creative zen using mtp... Jun 02 16:35:10 and all headache it provided even on bare win xp, not to mention linux Jun 02 16:35:25 well, there is only limited support for mtp on xp Jun 02 16:35:27 so, what You would suggest for using mtp on N900? which modules we need? Jun 02 16:35:42 but on linux mtp works like any other stuff Jun 02 16:35:45 and linux, except for kde I/O? Jun 02 16:35:46 you can just mount it Jun 02 16:36:04 and perform operations on filesystem? Jun 02 16:36:10 yes Jun 02 16:36:12 mtpfs Jun 02 16:36:47 ok, so I revoke what I've said - You mean that You're actually having control over *real* filesystem on device, instead virtual one? Jun 02 16:37:06 I was sure than all filesystem things are handled, in reality, via device, not computer OS Jun 02 16:37:17 and that it was purpose of MTP Jun 02 16:37:31 i.e. "You get only what device allows You to get" Jun 02 16:37:33 yes Jun 02 16:37:43 yes Jun 02 16:37:54 you can't mess with fs directly as such Jun 02 16:38:05 but device can forward all calls pretty much Jun 02 16:38:45 isn't it limited by device's manufacturers, most of the time? Jun 02 16:38:46 Estel_: but then on n900 you wouldn't have that problem of having 2G of space for apps and 30G mydocs Jun 02 16:39:08 I have 5GB for apps and 10 for MyDocs ;) Jun 02 16:39:20 it would be all 32G for apps/mydocs Jun 02 16:39:39 and it woudn't have to be umounted to access it from PC Jun 02 16:39:40 + I'm exporting encrypted truecrypt partitions to desktop, with all encryption done on N900 side Jun 02 16:39:50 desktop sees it as normal mass storage Jun 02 16:40:05 BTW, I don't unmount mydocs before accessing it from PC Jun 02 16:40:15 yes you do Jun 02 16:40:18 I just make sure than device doesn't write to it simulatenously Jun 02 16:40:19 ;) Jun 02 16:40:25 no, I don't Jun 02 16:40:27 good luck with fucked up FS Jun 02 16:40:36 using it for more than year Jun 02 16:40:42 remouting rw doesn't clear inode cache Jun 02 16:40:44 or anything Jun 02 16:40:45 never *ever* any filesystem error on vfat Jun 02 16:41:03 out of curiosity, I'm checking it periodicaly Jun 02 16:41:13 but with MTP you could have rw access all the time Jun 02 16:41:19 true. Jun 02 16:41:47 Off for the weekend. Be back Monday. Jun 02 16:41:55 but, again, isn't messing with filesystem limited by manufacturer's of mtp devices, most of the time? Jun 02 16:42:05 not really Jun 02 16:42:08 i.e. they decide what to forward, and what not? Jun 02 16:42:13 ok. Jun 02 16:42:14 they can Jun 02 16:42:21 but it depends on devices Jun 02 16:42:37 on my phone i have access to / Jun 02 16:42:43 by default Jun 02 16:42:50 hm, and, BTW, isn't MTP propertiary/closed? royalty fees etc? Jun 02 16:42:56 nope Jun 02 16:43:26 so, it's licensed like what? Jun 02 16:43:58 it's not Jun 02 16:44:01 it's free for all Jun 02 16:44:10 unlike fat that is licenced Jun 02 16:44:15 everything is licensed some way, even if FFA ;) Jun 02 16:44:30 either it's GPL'ed, BSD, or whatever Jun 02 16:44:52 xipg ogg is licensed also, using FOSS way Jun 02 16:44:59 how it looks with mtp? Jun 02 16:45:07 can't find reliable data about it... Jun 02 16:45:15 beside being standarized by USB foundation Jun 02 16:45:34 and, again, how to use it properly on N900, like in GuySoft case? Jun 02 16:45:38 well, specification is public and available for free Jun 02 16:45:46 you would need mtpfs Jun 02 16:45:50 what modules do we need to have compiled in kernel? Jun 02 16:45:51 and libmtp Jun 02 16:45:53 and libusb Jun 02 16:45:55 on n900 Jun 02 16:46:02 libusb? why so? Jun 02 16:46:14 mtpfs is a fuse thing Jun 02 16:46:17 hostmode and libmtp isn't enough? Jun 02 16:46:20 I see. Jun 02 16:46:34 libmtp requires libusb to talk to usb devices Jun 02 16:46:46 understood Jun 02 16:46:55 will talk with KP team about including it Jun 02 16:47:07 mtpfs, I mean Jun 02 16:47:15 fake libusb should make that easier to RE :P Jun 02 16:47:16 libmtp and libusb are in userland? Jun 02 16:47:39 but why RE it, if it's open, according to jacekowski ? Jun 02 16:47:47 or it isn't? Jun 02 16:48:23 afaik it's standarized by usb foundation, so all info should be available? or not? Jun 02 17:08:59 any easy way to detect if lens cover is open via shellscript? Jun 02 17:10:09 kke: might be implemented as an input device Jun 02 17:10:11 let me check Jun 02 17:10:29 wow, I wasn't aware, that there are such lightweight irc bouncers as dircproxy or miau Jun 02 17:10:54 it seems, that I can install it on WRT54GL's jffs2 even *without* doing sd card mod Jun 02 17:11:02 miau is 50 kb 0_o Jun 02 17:14:17 jacekowski, did you find something about nolo yesterday? Jun 02 17:14:34 kke: I found it Jun 02 17:15:09 cool Jun 02 17:15:58 cat /dev/input/by-path/platform-gpio-keys-event Jun 02 17:16:12 nice Jun 02 17:16:54 lens cover, keyboard being extended, the two-state photo button, the volume buttons, the lock slider Jun 02 17:22:47 but i don't have such path Jun 02 17:23:02 there's only keypad, pwrbutton and ts Jun 02 17:24:29 well, right now I'm on Mer Jun 02 17:26:04 cat /sys/devices/platform/gpio-switch/cam_shutter/state # (open / closed) Jun 02 17:27:20 seriously? Jun 02 17:27:30 kke: I guess that works better for you :P Jun 02 18:24:58 what is the resolution of the n900 screen? Jun 02 18:25:31 800x480 Jun 02 18:27:50 vi__, yes Jun 02 18:40:02 moving MyDocs/DCIM to /home/user/DCIM doesn't quite seem to work Jun 02 18:40:13 i have no idea where my pic got saved now Jun 02 18:40:23 not into the DCIM atleast Jun 02 18:41:28 and i was thinking about symlinking it from MyDocs but it's vfat so no go Jun 02 18:41:49 kke: what are you trying to do? Jun 02 18:42:46 make camera save pics to /home/user/DCIM instead of MyDocs/DCIM Jun 02 18:42:56 why? Jun 02 18:43:07 have you tried looking for some configs? Jun 02 18:43:15 maybe it's not hardcoded into the app Jun 02 18:43:19 because my home/user is encrypted Jun 02 18:43:30 it's in .config/user-dirs.dirs Jun 02 18:43:52 you can make MyDocs be a regular directory btw Jun 02 18:43:54 i changed it but pics still don't go there Jun 02 18:44:15 like, you can disable mounting for it Jun 02 18:44:22 and then it will be encrypted Jun 02 18:44:51 you can set the mount dir for the FAT partition somewhere else Jun 02 18:44:57 check /etc/fstab Jun 02 18:45:42 /etc/fstab isnt followed Jun 02 18:45:51 its hard coded Jun 02 18:45:54 hiemanshu: are you kidding me? Jun 02 18:45:58 no Jun 02 18:46:19 hardcoded vfat->/home/user/MyDocs mount? Jun 02 18:46:34 something autogenerates fstab Jun 02 18:46:42 if you change it, it will be overwritten on boot Jun 02 18:46:51 but i'd like to keep MyDocs as t is Jun 02 18:46:59 and just store the camera pics somewhere else Jun 02 18:47:09 kke: softlink Jun 02 18:47:14 hey guys :) Jun 02 18:47:18 hiemanshu: vfat Jun 02 18:47:43 oh yeah, i keep forgetting that Jun 02 18:48:35 we thought about links in FAT at pedigree, didn't come up with a solution better than some sort of database Jun 02 18:49:59 can i mount to dir on vfat? Jun 02 18:50:28 then i could just mount dcim there from a container or something Jun 02 18:50:33 kke: I just thought of that Jun 02 18:51:51 but I don't think you can really do it Jun 02 18:51:59 like, in a way that's useful to you Jun 02 18:53:51 well i could just remount my /home/user to that DCIM and have the pics in user's root Jun 02 18:54:05 let's try Jun 02 18:54:59 you can make a new partition at the end and add it to startup script to mount the partition to that folder Jun 02 18:58:28 i'm ok with having them in root of /home/user for now Jun 02 18:59:50 wait Jun 02 19:00:08 maybe you can replace the FAT32 partition with an ext one Jun 02 19:00:18 too much trouble Jun 02 19:00:48 and it would mount ext Jun 02 19:00:50 lol dont do that Jun 02 19:00:52 that you could encrypt Jun 02 19:00:57 hiemanshu: why? Jun 02 19:01:13 eddyb: hard-coded, wont work Jun 02 19:01:14 does the hardcoded fstab use "vfat"? Jun 02 19:01:16 damn Jun 02 19:03:46 eddyb: http://wiki.maemo.org/Repartitioning_the_flash Jun 02 19:05:39 too fugly Jun 02 19:11:55 hello all! Jun 02 19:12:02 any idea if syncevolution supports single ICS files? Jun 02 19:12:19 3 Jun 02 19:12:31 hmm.. wrong window Jun 02 19:20:20 fstab is not hardcoded as such. Jun 02 19:20:31 It is just autogenerated on each boot. Jun 02 19:20:40 From a specific set of rules. Jun 02 19:29:00 vi__, any way to change path where photos are stored? Jun 02 19:29:08 I would love to move them to my encrypted truecrypt partition... Jun 02 19:29:14 although. You know, vfat and symlinks... ;) Jun 02 19:37:38 camera-ui2? Jun 02 19:37:47 Estel_, I pushed new version of bootmenu to extras-devel & extras-testing Jun 02 19:38:08 A bind mount might technically work too. (Isn't that what /opt is?) Jun 02 19:38:20 just about to say tah Jun 02 19:38:22 with fixed evkey symlink Jun 02 19:38:23 that Jun 02 19:38:29 you have 2 choices. Jun 02 19:38:49 Alter camera-ui2 source to accept a path to store photos. Jun 02 19:39:12 (the preferal solution) Jun 02 19:39:42 2. you could bind mount it. Jun 02 19:39:59 Look up 'crazy mounting shit all over the place' thread that I wrote some time ago. Jun 02 19:40:56 I promoted bootmenu package to extras-testing Jun 02 19:41:01 Bear in mind though, when you bind mount somthing to either SD card directory or MyDocs directory you will have to unmount it before you can export it via USB. (the directory that is) Jun 02 19:42:24 Pali: Get in my son! Jun 02 19:42:49 after testing vote for moving to extras: http://maemo.org/packages/package_instance/view/fremantle_extras-testing_free_armel/bootmenu/1.12/ Jun 02 19:43:12 ~tmo Jun 02 19:43:13 from memory, tmo is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TMO, or http://talk.maemo.org, or http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrestrial_Trunked_Radio#TMO. It's *not* T-MO (see ~T-MO) or trolls, morons, oxen. Jun 02 19:43:29 ~t-mo Jun 02 19:43:30 rumour has it, t-mo is T-Mobile Jun 02 19:45:21 ~buttocks Jun 02 19:45:55 ~nards Jun 02 19:47:16 ~cornholio Jun 02 19:47:17 apt is THE GREAT CORNHOLIO!!!

Jun 02 19:49:18 somebody has my account name on maemo.org! Jun 02 19:49:29 ?? Jun 02 19:49:32 see voting on: http://maemo.org/packages/package_instance/view/fremantle_extras-testing_free_armel/bootmenu/1.12/ Jun 02 19:49:43 there is 3x vote from my name Jun 02 19:50:29 vi__, see ^^^ Jun 02 19:51:42 that package has 0 out of 6 votes Jun 02 19:52:30 I see 3 of 6 Jun 02 19:52:54 oh wait, now I see them. Jun 02 19:53:11 They all appeared at EXACTLY the same time. Jun 02 19:53:21 but how? Jun 02 19:53:32 Maybe because you are such a badass, when you vote it is like 3 mortal votes? Jun 02 19:55:15 hahaha Jun 02 19:55:24 it seems that Pali is supertester without knowing it Jun 02 19:55:35 how can i be a supertester? Jun 02 19:55:40 it is really intereting... DocScrutinizer wrote that maemo.org does not working correctly in weekends... Jun 02 19:55:48 vi___, thanks a lot, aso we actually can mount -o bind things from vfat? good to know Jun 02 19:56:03 Pali, DocScrutinizer51 wrote many things, and 90% of them are bullshit nowadays :( Jun 02 19:56:05 it's just a common observation Jun 02 19:56:18 lemme investigate Jun 02 19:56:28 DocScrutinizer51, see votes on: http://maemo.org/packages/package_instance/view/fremantle_extras-testing_free_armel/bootmenu/1.12/ Jun 02 19:56:48 it seems, that You've clicked 3 times ;) Jun 02 19:56:48 it is bug? Jun 02 19:57:11 but it is not possible to vote for one package more times Jun 02 19:57:20 looks like bug Jun 02 19:57:29 or really you're super-duper tester Jun 02 19:57:47 Estel_: technically you mount TO position in file system. Jun 02 19:57:53 I know I'm always sending multiple comments on that packages page, as the web interface is so slow Jun 02 19:58:55 Estel_, then we could find way how to reproduce this bug and tell about it to people which can be super super super testers :D Jun 02 19:59:03 :D Jun 02 19:59:07 yea, single vote = promotion Jun 02 19:59:13 if supertester have double vote... Jun 02 19:59:16 x3... Jun 02 19:59:24 lemme tyr to reproduce it Jun 02 19:59:56 instant promotion :-) Jun 02 20:00:17 can't reproduce Jun 02 20:00:23 hey i need a quick answer,i want to install easy debian,whats the difference between "Este" and "sulu" images? Jun 02 20:00:24 it seems you'r ejust super powa Jun 02 20:00:37 estel* Jun 02 20:00:52 ? Jun 02 20:01:10 spark666, Estel's image contain LibreOffice Jun 02 20:01:13 and chromium Jun 02 20:01:20 while sulu's image contain neither Jun 02 20:01:29 and sulu?whats the more closer to full debian? Jun 02 20:01:37 none is "closer" Jun 02 20:01:41 so estel its better,contains more Jun 02 20:01:51 i mean in the term of more features Jun 02 20:01:52 sulu image was posted before mine, so You may consider mine kinda "updated" Jun 02 20:02:09 but, if You want barebone edition, You have less uninstall using sulus Jun 02 20:02:09 ohh so estel its yours,nice ! Jun 02 20:02:22 :) thanks a lot, I hope it will work for You as supposed :p Jun 02 20:02:31 yea, surprise, judging by name?;) Jun 02 20:02:59 if You want more features, use mine, as it contain LibreOffice and Chromium. If You don't use those, install sulu's Jun 02 20:03:05 nope,i was thinking about that since i dont belive in coincidences :P Jun 02 20:03:37 damn! i closed the terminal by mistake =))) Jun 02 20:05:06 anyone here got experiences with optware? Jun 02 20:05:18 as nslu2-general channel seems quite dead Jun 02 20:05:40 Estel_: anyway ill be back to tell you if it work.Tnx one more time for answers and your contribution.cheers! Jun 02 20:05:51 no problem, have fun :) Jun 02 20:08:38 biltong is good Jun 02 20:08:50 ~biltong Jun 02 20:12:51 friggin amazing I can restart sshd via ssh login and even change the ssh-port, and still the established ssh login shell stays ;-D Jun 02 20:14:28 I guess sshd is spawning an independent process for each active login session, and that process survives restart and even reconfig of server Jun 02 20:29:21 DocScrutinizer51: old Jun 02 20:29:46 maybe, but every time a nice surprise Jun 02 20:30:36 maybe this less 'old': sftp 3 times faster than rsync Jun 02 20:31:01 rather, everytime you restart xdm from your xsession, you're in for an unpleasant surprise Jun 02 20:31:04 for what use-case? Jun 02 20:31:14 for copying 27GB Jun 02 20:31:22 in a single file or 2mil files? Jun 02 20:31:34 2E6 files Jun 02 20:31:41 the fastest: tarpipe via tcp Jun 02 20:32:14 yeah, several such suggestions since some hours now ;-) I had several resumes though as well Jun 02 20:32:32 as this friggin hw is not all rock solid Jun 02 20:32:43 then rsync is kinda superior Jun 02 20:32:51 yea, managed to install optware in my 1024 KB jffs2 space of wrt54GL :D Jun 02 20:32:58 so even this awesome sftp stalled after maybe 60% accomplished Jun 02 20:33:01 but more efficient on a single large file probably Jun 02 20:33:16 and dircproxy, then, I have even 300 kb of space left :P Jun 02 20:33:20 that's minimalism. Jun 02 20:33:45 this 3 times figure is from xfer speed on files >100MB Jun 02 20:33:58 fully working irc bouncer using 70 kb of space (optware itself uses rest :P) Jun 02 20:34:11 where sftp maxes out the 100BT cable, while rsync stalls at ~3MB Jun 02 20:34:23 MB/s Jun 02 20:34:29 DocScrutinizer51: cpu-bound on either end? Jun 02 20:34:36 yeah, on source Jun 02 20:34:49 100% load on one of both cores Jun 02 20:34:59 remember that rsync does lots of fancy hashing, unlike sftp Jun 02 20:35:06 yep Jun 02 20:35:32 I gues that's the price you pay for smart resume and sync Jun 02 20:36:35 probably a dd via a TCP connection to a diskimage on the destination machine woul've been accomplished 6h ago Jun 02 20:37:53 dd is useless Jun 02 20:40:44 well, if I'm willing to take the risk of "fs corrupted" on that disk image, then it isn't Jun 02 20:41:06 loopmount the image, run fschk Jun 02 20:41:14 fsck Jun 02 20:41:43 and would even allow ultra-easy resume ;-P Jun 02 20:42:01 as it's one single "file" after all Jun 02 20:42:50 dd if=/dev/sda6|socat Jun 02 20:43:42 socat|dd of=~/oldPCbackup/sda6.img Jun 02 20:44:43 if it stalls, just resume on the position in dev/sda6 where it did Jun 02 20:45:24 sure you never should do backups from live fs Jun 02 20:47:46 home/jr/Documents/N900/N950/Linux_OCF_22-6_EMMC_RM680-OEM1-916.bin Jun 02 20:47:48 584612813 100% 3.05MB/s 0:03:02 (xfer#203260, to-check=1014/211639) Jun 02 20:47:49 home/jr/Documents/N900/N950/Linux_OCF_22-6_EMMC_RM680-OEM1-916__shortened_version.bin Jun 02 20:47:51 583250893 100% 3.18MB/s 0:02:54 (xfer#203261, to-check=1013/211639) Jun 02 20:49:35 sftp gets all that's available from 100BT for such files - which is sth >11MB/s Jun 02 21:04:35 hey, little question Jun 02 21:04:42 I've some program in /opt/bin Jun 02 21:04:50 I know it's sitting there, as it should Jun 02 21:04:54 PATH is properly exported Jun 02 21:05:23 I also see my program while using autocomplete via tab Jun 02 21:05:27 yet, when I run it, I see Jun 02 21:05:36 -sh: dircproxy: not found Jun 02 21:05:54 what the hell? something still missing from path? Jun 02 21:06:09 I'm logged as root on router, then /opt/bin is added to PATH properly Jun 02 21:06:10 wtf? Jun 02 21:07:55 +x ? Jun 02 21:12:00 DocScrutinizer51: yes Jun 02 21:13:14 chem|st: ? Jun 02 21:25:44 DocScrutinizer51: messing with cryptdisk Jun 02 21:26:04 aah Jun 02 21:28:03 DocScrutinizer51: btw the answere to 16GB RAM hibernation is a RAM - Cache - buffers sized swap Jun 02 21:29:01 sure Jun 02 21:29:22 and mine is only 2GB while RAM are 8GB Jun 02 21:29:39 btw this equation is correct only as long as no swao already used Jun 02 21:29:44 swap* Jun 02 21:30:26 for a "normal" system a healthy swap is like 4-6GB, I have 9.5GB but I have no usual system... with iceweasel and 2 terminals I have 3GB used... Jun 02 21:30:31 and I already thought WTF when the installer of this distro suggested this partitioning Jun 02 21:31:06 your new notebook? Jun 02 21:31:08 I might need to repartition Jun 02 21:31:10 yep Jun 02 21:31:24 well my netbooks swap is 2GB aswel Jun 02 21:31:26 l Jun 02 21:32:08 cannot hibernate my desktop if swaps lower than 4GB though Jun 02 21:33:01 xmas I had to break my 340 days uptime for a damn kernel upgrade... Jun 02 21:33:21 netbook this is Jun 02 21:38:59 merlin1991, no, it's +x already Jun 02 21:39:04 without it, it would say "permission denied" Jun 02 21:39:31 merlin1991, it turned out that - probably uclibc is incompatible Jun 02 21:39:48 could install update one, but it's 800 kb, and I have 700 kb free in jffs2 total :p Jun 02 21:40:02 ... and I wanted to only run 70 kb dircproxy :P Jun 02 21:40:09 could compile it staticaly, or Jun 02 21:40:24 take my soldering iron and finally do SD card mod to my wrt54GL Jun 02 21:41:16 then drop here 1 or 2 GB Sd card and say gtfo to space constrains Jun 02 21:41:24 ... and run LibreOffice from my router :P Jun 02 21:41:26 (joke) Jun 02 23:53:41 Does busybox have vi mode? Jun 02 23:53:57 yes Jun 02 23:54:54 vi is one of the modules it may have Jun 02 23:55:03 I have one system without even 'ls' in busybox. Jun 02 23:56:33 without ls ?you can copy easy debian "ls " to maemo,it can work to Jun 02 23:57:12 SpeedEvil, I mean vi mode, not vi app itself Jun 02 23:57:13 not maemo. Jun 02 23:57:15 ah Jun 02 23:57:27 In other shell, set -o vi can enable it Jun 02 23:57:37 But it doesn't work in busybox Jun 02 23:58:24 LaoLang_cool: how about installing bash? Jun 02 23:58:57 chem|st, doens't want another shell, busybox is good enough Jun 02 23:59:18 well I want what I am used to Jun 02 23:59:18 Some MIPS thing with 6M of RAM, and 2.6.8 kernel. Jun 02 23:59:57 chem|st, :) Jun 03 00:00:46 ^^ Jun 03 00:02:03 someday ago,i use apt-get upgrade some app and lib, after my phone can't reboot... Jun 03 00:22:55 Estel_: wait, are you on the Council? Jun 03 00:23:19 luke-jr, yes. Jun 03 00:23:23 Also: Hi. Jun 03 00:23:33 hi Jun 03 00:23:43 meh, that means I need to actually care what he thinks :/ Jun 03 00:23:53 Tread carefully! ;) Jun 03 00:25:17 GeneralAntilles: well, he was stressing the importance of dummy-friendly documentation earlier <.< Jun 03 00:25:24 for Gentoo/N900 Jun 03 00:28:24 You'd figure that userbase would have more than enough self-selection. Jun 03 00:28:39 luke-jr, isn't emerging from source incredibly slow on gentoo? Jun 03 00:29:39 Hurrian: I let it update overnight. Plus I provide binaries. Jun 03 00:29:43 ah. Jun 03 00:29:56 GeneralAntilles: yeah, I do. but if the Council is judging based on docs, I may have a problem XD Jun 03 00:30:00 anyways, what have you got working? Jun 03 00:30:09 Well, then, doc up! ;) Jun 03 00:30:45 if it's gentoo-specific, i may be able to fix up the documentation to be distro-agnostic Jun 03 00:30:46 GeneralAntilles: yeah, just… I'd rather spend the time actually *doing* something :P Jun 03 00:31:03 Hurrian: well, the thing is I don't have anything documented right now Jun 03 00:31:04 Don't denigrate the technical writing, you fiend! :P Jun 03 00:31:15 * GeneralAntilles polishes his Wiki Star. Jun 03 00:31:27 ah. Jun 03 00:31:38 iirc you said you had most hardware working? Jun 03 00:31:42 GeneralAntilles: in that context, it'd be better for someone skilled in technical writing (ie, not me) to do it <.< Jun 03 00:31:49 Hurrian: the core hardware, at least Jun 03 00:32:27 http://lists.maemo.org/pipermail/maemo-community/2012-May/005339.html <-- most detailed status :p Jun 03 00:32:43 hmm Jun 03 00:32:48 I thought i went into more detail there Jun 03 00:32:54 luke-jr, i assume that means core system + watchdog program + maemo/mer kernel Jun 03 00:33:25 Hurrian: + GPRS with network integration Jun 03 00:33:27 + SMS Jun 03 00:33:32 + KDE Jun 03 00:33:39 cameras Jun 03 00:33:44 nice, nice. Jun 03 00:33:56 audio out works, but not safe yet (need a highpass filter finished) Jun 03 00:34:07 the cameras need a special insmod sequence to register the v4l2 device, right? Jun 03 00:34:15 I don't think so O.o Jun 03 00:34:55 I'm mostly focussed on getting voice calls going (with an ALSA driver for the phone audio), but I'm pretty sure when I did cameras they just showed up on boot Jun 03 00:36:51 * luke-jr ponders if he can/should throw the Gentoo docs on the Maemo wiki <.< Jun 03 00:37:00 Gitorious wiki kinda sucks Jun 03 00:37:18 definitely interesting work towards building a linux desktop base system config. **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sun Jun 03 02:59:58 2012
