**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Jun 10 03:00:03 2012 Jun 10 08:31:26 Tmo dead? Jun 10 08:32:24 seems so Jun 10 08:47:23 yup Jun 10 09:51:40 hm, many times I'm stunned by expertise and knowledge of Maemo people... Jun 10 09:53:19 Other times, I'm really grateful, that people like Stallman or Poettering fans shape the way we're going to use linux, modern days Jun 10 09:54:35 You can flame me whatever You want, but I'm perfectly sure, that if our NIRC gurus" would be on charge, we would have frozen specification, feature set, and layout in freedesktop from late 80's ;) Jun 10 09:54:39 up to this day. Jun 10 09:55:15 +48668 version of overlays for other use cases, 3/4 of them non compatible with each other Jun 10 10:23:32 Doesn't /home/user have 32GB of space? Jun 10 10:24:26 it's mounted at /home/user/MyDocs Jun 10 10:25:41 and it's 28G Jun 10 10:26:26 Ah, never mind. I just had made some wrong assumptions. Jun 10 10:41:41 Is sitting next to an n900 FM transmitter dangerous to health? Jun 10 10:43:06 yes. It's as much dangerous, as listening to casual FM radio, or walking street Jun 10 10:43:08 or sex Jun 10 10:43:16 everything is dangerous to health. Even passing of time itself. Jun 10 10:44:06 Estel_: I moved a lot of mp3s to the .sound directory, but it doesn't list any. Do you know why? Jun 10 10:44:22 probably, because .sound directory isn't meant to move files there Jun 10 10:44:34 eveyr directory starting with dot "." is ommited by tracker, by default Jun 10 10:44:37 fasta: have you disconnected the phone Jun 10 10:44:55 no, he mvoed fiels to directory where system sounds - like sms beep - are stored Jun 10 10:45:07 it's a feature, that this dir is ommited Jun 10 10:45:15 Where should I put them instead? Jun 10 10:45:34 whenever Yuo want, but not anywhere under directory tree that starts with dot Jun 10 10:45:41 so /.whatever/music/files is bad Jun 10 10:45:48 but /anywhere/you/want/at/all is good Jun 10 10:45:54 tracker will find it on it's own Jun 10 10:45:59 /home/user/mp3s then Jun 10 10:46:03 why not Jun 10 10:46:09 anyway, mp3 suxx, use ogg instead Jun 10 10:46:17 And flac? Jun 10 10:46:19 ... Jun 10 10:46:26 flac rox, but files are biiig Jun 10 10:46:27 I.e. does it support flac? Jun 10 10:46:41 it support everything desktop computer support, as long as You have approriate things installed Jun 10 10:46:55 Well, that's like freaking awesome then. Thanks. Jun 10 10:46:55 it's not a phone, it's computer with phone functions Jun 10 10:47:02 get used to it and Your life will be easier :) Jun 10 10:47:06 no problem Jun 10 10:47:22 I already managed to shoot pictures in raw format too. Jun 10 10:47:26 of course. Jun 10 10:47:53 And, I can use FM radio while USB is connected, thanks to jacekowski's software. Jun 10 10:47:56 probably, cia camera-ui from Nicolai? Or, via fmcam drivers? Jun 10 10:48:04 boths give slightly different results Jun 10 10:48:08 Estel_: I think I use fcamera. Jun 10 10:48:13 * Estel_ nods Jun 10 10:48:19 Estel_: I also have the blessn900 app. Jun 10 10:48:36 there is no definite answer which one gives better results, so, I use to do shotting from boths (of course not at the same very moment) Jun 10 10:48:37 It would be nice if I could zoom into the raw pictures. Jun 10 10:48:38 during session Jun 10 10:48:44 blessn900 suxx big time Jun 10 10:48:54 Estel_: I would like to map the camera button to fcamera, though. Jun 10 10:49:02 justs tick to camera-ui from CSSU, it also can take raws, or fcam Jun 10 10:49:08 no problem Jun 10 10:49:17 Estel_: how? Jun 10 10:49:47 instal "quick launch" Jun 10 10:49:55 s/instal/install/ Jun 10 10:49:55 Estel_ meant: install "quick launch" Jun 10 10:50:05 it allow You to map things to camera slie out Jun 10 10:50:08 slide, ffs Jun 10 10:50:19 i.e. You open camera cover, and menu with 4 possible items appear Jun 10 10:50:28 also, you mayw ant to sue shortcutd Jun 10 10:50:38 it allow You to map things to camera button itself too, although, hgalf press only Jun 10 10:50:43 both long press and short press Jun 10 10:50:51 so you can have different things for long and short half-press Jun 10 10:51:18 for example, I use quick launch, and, upon sliding camera cover, I've 4 options ons creen - camera-ui, fcam, lowlight, and torch (flashlight) Jun 10 10:51:19 Estel_: that's exactly what I want yes. Jun 10 10:51:44 so have fun :) Jun 10 10:52:29 How should I view the Tizen platform in the mobile landscape? Jun 10 10:52:58 Through rose-tinted glasses. Jun 10 10:54:06 I mean: are phones based on it basically as hackable as the n900/is it a cheap rip-off/does it even already work, etc.? Jun 10 10:56:44 I also haven't been able to add any widget other than the Associated Press widget. Jun 10 10:56:50 In particular the CPU load one. Jun 10 10:57:03 I installed it, but it doesn't show up anywhere. Jun 10 11:01:11 fasta, if Tizen is usable for anything, then it's onlyto get rid of it and install Mer Jun 10 11:01:14 as soon as you get device Jun 10 11:01:19 and *if* it's doable. Jun 10 12:11:10 Rofl. Firefox takes 2.5GB RAM Jun 10 12:23:35 Darkchaos: likely it doesn't. Jun 10 12:23:49 Darkchaos: i.e. some web-app takes 2.5GB of RAM/ Jun 10 12:23:56 Darkchaos: completely different statement. Jun 10 12:24:21 Is there like a newbie friendly description of starhash enabler? Jun 10 12:25:08 Send raw commands through cellular network? ;) Jun 10 12:25:11 The people on http://my-maemo.com/software/applications.php?fldAuto=1622&faq=42 generally seem not to be pleased; likely because it seems to be targeted at phone engineers ;) Jun 10 12:25:33 I am thinking of things like: where is the UI? Jun 10 12:25:43 I.e. where can I configure it? Jun 10 12:25:51 an average joe wouldn't want to fiddle with fancy commands unless there was a need in the first place Jun 10 12:26:07 Well, the redirection stuff seems pretty useful. Jun 10 12:26:13 I thought starhash just gives you extra buttons at the phone dial screen Jun 10 12:26:40 fasta: thing is, same web-app on opera would take half of that ram Jun 10 12:26:57 fasta: and firefox is well known for it's memory leaks Jun 10 12:27:21 lets not forget IE Jun 10 12:27:28 jacekowski: I know firefox is well known for its memory leaks. Jun 10 12:27:40 hatake_kakashi: IE has improved a lot Jun 10 12:27:49 hatake_kakashi: latest IE is faster than firefox Jun 10 12:27:55 jacekowski: I also know that it's in most cases a problem created by the way JavaScript/DOM interaction works. Jun 10 12:28:09 fasta: doesn't matter, other browsers don't leak like that Jun 10 12:28:14 jacekowski: and while web programmers could mitigate it in most cases, they don't do that. Jun 10 12:28:24 jacekowski: I think a factor of 2 is not that much. Jun 10 12:28:39 jacekowski: But if it is really a different function, there is a problem. Jun 10 12:28:50 I.e. a memory leak would suggest memory usage goes to infinity. Jun 10 12:28:56 it does Jun 10 12:29:00 slowl Jun 10 12:29:03 slowly Jun 10 12:29:12 If that really is a Firefox problem, the indeed it's awful. Jun 10 12:29:20 I think most people run Chrome these days. Jun 10 12:29:29 jacekowski, not that I have tried the latest IE, though I'm sure IE wouldn't be all that much better than firefox imo Jun 10 12:29:42 I think IE10 isn't that bad. Jun 10 12:29:53 IE7 is just a joke. Jun 10 12:30:00 rather, was :) Jun 10 12:30:08 hatake_kakashi: IE9 doesn't have a single line of code common with IE6 Jun 10 12:30:11 Lots of web developers dropped it I think. Jun 10 12:30:19 hatake_kakashi: it was pretty much a total rewrite Jun 10 12:30:29 hatake_kakashi: and their JS engine is really fast Jun 10 12:30:36 meh, IE10 is pretty much standards-compliant with everyone else Jun 10 12:30:42 IE9 still has some quirks Jun 10 12:32:20 Where's IE10, Metro? Jun 10 12:34:26 Oh, there's a W7 compatible platform preview out. Jun 10 12:34:30 jacekowski, still, according to a benchmark I just saw, it still isn't vastly superior compared to firefox let alone chrome Jun 10 12:34:48 I thought IE9 was pretty nice for IE. Jun 10 12:35:00 hatake_kakashi: but IE is improving Jun 10 12:35:08 hatake_kakashi: firefox is getting more bloated all the time Jun 10 12:35:14 Firefox's only selling point for me these days is the fact that it has a lot of plugins, but that's the only thing rooting for it. Jun 10 12:35:37 Chrome is a massive, and I mean m-a-s-s-i-v-e memory hog, but it doesn't matter on my desktop PC. Jun 10 12:35:37 Can anyone please tell me how I can get the CPU load displayed in some fancy widget? Jun 10 12:36:12 fasta: Tried this? http://maemo.org/packages/view/cpumem-applet/ Jun 10 12:36:19 jacekowski, doesn't mean that mozilla foundation won't rewrite up firefox to make it go fast again, surely people complain about laggy-ness Jun 10 12:36:47 hatake_kakashi: Sure, they did that between FF three and four. Jun 10 12:37:13 Raimu: maemo seems dead here Jun 10 12:37:18 I'd second what Raimu said with the cpumem applet, that was one of the fair few programs I've installed eversince I got my N900 Jun 10 12:37:18 hatake_kakashi: I'm afraid though that the next time they're going to make some hard design choices that affect backwards compatibility. Jun 10 12:37:31 Raimu: Internal Server Error 500 Jun 10 12:37:34 fasta: Odd. Works for me. >:| Jun 10 12:37:49 fasta, proxy? Jun 10 12:37:56 hatake_kakashi: no Jun 10 12:38:10 fasta: Maybe you have a monster cookie that's making it behave like that. Jun 10 12:38:17 You know, corrupted one. Jun 10 12:38:21 A monster cookie? Jun 10 12:38:23 Haha Jun 10 12:38:26 Raimu, well heck, some things may have to go :) Jun 10 12:38:43 infected cookie Jun 10 12:38:58 fasta: I love saying "monster cookie". I meant a corrupt cookie that got bungled somehow and needs to be deleted from the browser cache. Jun 10 12:39:12 Raimu: it's a server error, not a client error. Jun 10 12:39:21 Raimu: the server should reset the cookie. Jun 10 12:39:34 Raimu: in short, it's just a programmer error on maemo.org Jun 10 12:40:05 Raimu: another browser works, btw. Jun 10 12:40:25 So yeah, there's bad data in your browser cache or something. Jun 10 12:40:44 Raimu: I already see some tiny icon with cpu load and probably memory. Jun 10 12:41:12 Does HAM work? Jun 10 12:41:13 Raimu: I am looking for something which is a bit larger than icon size. Jun 10 12:41:18 Raimu: yes Jun 10 12:41:19 Oh. Jun 10 12:41:56 There are widgets, I recall, but at least one I actually tried hogged CPU resources. Jun 10 12:42:22 So that was kind of a "observer creating an effect on the observed" thing and I removed it. Jun 10 12:44:15 Raimu: which map application do you use? Jun 10 12:44:23 Is OVI still being updated? Jun 10 12:45:09 I rely on browsered Google Maps, to be honest. Where I live the on-platform n900 map apps aren't much use. Jun 10 12:45:31 No clue about OVI. Jun 10 12:46:16 Raimu: in which browser? Jun 10 12:46:42 Where is Chrome for n900, btw? Jun 10 12:47:51 Dead and buried Jun 10 12:48:06 Or, rather, if you want to use Easy Debian on the side, there. Jun 10 12:48:20 But there is no official Chromium port or even an unofficial one these days. Jun 10 12:48:55 Some years ago there was some sort of an intellectual property shitstorm over Chromium and something something profit, and people just stopped porting it on Maemo. Jun 10 13:20:25 Chromium works via easy debian Jun 10 13:20:32 and those shitstorm was just a hoax Jun 10 13:24:27 You need 2.5 GB free on one of your memory cards, although after installing, you will only need 2 GB. Jun 10 13:24:31 Isn't the rootfs 2GB? Jun 10 13:24:43 it isn't Jun 10 13:25:03 Or rather the location for programs, etc. Jun 10 13:25:08 I thought it was limited at 2GB. Jun 10 13:25:23 I.e. some kind of disconnect between data and application. Jun 10 13:25:28 fasta, make a partition and dump e-d there Jun 10 13:25:36 more or less correct, /home/ is 2 GB, and they do some symlink busines, "opticated" programs are stored in /home/opt/ Jun 10 13:26:23 Hurrian: why do I need to make a partition? Jun 10 13:27:01 Hurrian: (the instructions don't talk about that) Jun 10 13:28:28 It seems to just install an image file. Jun 10 13:28:43 So, your suggestion makes no sense to me. Jun 10 13:29:43 Is there some way to automatically switch to whatever network is available? Jun 10 13:29:59 I mean without manually pressing all kinds of buttons. Jun 10 13:49:19 hey Jun 10 13:49:36 I recall that there was some way to show a splash screen on Maemo 5. Jun 10 13:49:38 can someone tell me what it was? Jun 10 13:55:28 Venemo: bootsplash Jun 10 13:55:47 fasta: I mean, a spash screen for an app Jun 10 13:56:02 I think it was a parameter in the .desktop file, but I'm unsure Jun 10 13:56:20 Why don't globs work? Jun 10 13:56:29 I.e. ls * Jun 10 13:56:40 hm? Jun 10 13:56:55 On my desktop system ls *==ls output Jun 10 13:57:03 On n900: ls *==error Jun 10 13:57:14 I even tried with bash Jun 10 14:00:16 can't reproduce, WFM Jun 10 14:01:18 DocScrutinizer06: /bin/ls: invalid option -- 5 Jun 10 14:01:33 DocScrutinizer06: I inputted '/bin/ls *' without quotes Jun 10 14:01:39 (this is via ssh) Jun 10 14:01:47 In a directory with lots of files Jun 10 14:02:19 BusyBox v1.20.1 (Debian 1.20.1power1) multi-call binary. Jun 10 14:02:32 Perhaps these are the 'improved' tools which actually aren't improved? Jun 10 14:03:03 How do I get quassel for n900? It has disappeared from the OVI store. Jun 10 14:03:12 https://gitorious.org/~sgiessl/quassel2go/ Jun 10 14:03:13 busybox-power? Jun 10 14:03:18 I only found that. Jun 10 14:03:42 DocScrutinizer06: I don't know whether it's called like that. Under HAM it says Enhanced Busy box shell. Jun 10 14:03:52 fuckit Jun 10 14:04:30 open a ticket if you feel like Jun 10 14:04:41 or get rid of enhanced busybox Jun 10 14:04:50 install proper unix tools Jun 10 14:05:07 You mean the defaults or something else? Jun 10 14:05:16 ~jrtools Jun 10 14:05:16 i guess jrtools is http://wiki.maemo.org/User:Joerg_rw/tools Jun 10 14:06:58 that page is called /tools because I originally just was about to replace busybox with proper bash and unix tools Jun 10 14:07:48 NB you still need (original working) busybox for boot Jun 10 14:11:02 ~messybox Jun 10 14:11:03 messy... err busybox is meant for lean scripting. Regarding all the missing options and immanent limitations (see su) it's not really the interactive shell of choice. A lot of people hate busybox because a lot of system integrators don't understand the difference between busybox and a decent user interactive shell plus unix utils Jun 10 14:11:27 and messybox-powa is for... what now? Jun 10 14:13:35 fasta: get bash3 or bash4, and proper gnu-* utils Jun 10 14:17:04 Af'noon, all. I see a purple high;ight, but have been away all week and forgot tp /quit. Jun 10 14:17:22 o/ Jaffa Jun 10 14:18:09 wb Jun 10 14:20:52 DocScrutinizer06: how can I do the equivalent sudo gainroot && ls (pseudo-code) that would then run ls as root? Jun 10 14:21:27 hmm? Jun 10 14:21:46 DocScrutinizer06: If I do sudo gainroot && ls, ls output is not shown. Jun 10 14:21:48 sorry, I don't get the question, or the problem Jun 10 14:22:35 sudo gainroot is not meant to run other stuff en passant Jun 10 14:22:51 sudo gainroot is equiv for su Jun 10 14:23:04 while root is equiv for su - Jun 10 14:23:31 ~ $ su Jun 10 14:23:31 su: must be suid to work properly Jun 10 14:23:48 how do you gain root on a Stock n900 Jun 10 14:23:50 ? Jun 10 14:23:54 su doesn't work in messybox Jun 10 14:23:59 ~messybox Jun 10 14:24:00 messy... err busybox is meant for lean scripting. Regarding all the missing options and immanent limitations (see su) it's not really the interactive shell of choice. A lot of people hate busybox because a lot of system integrators don't understand the difference between busybox and a decent user interactive shell plus unix utils Jun 10 14:24:19 >>... and immanent limitations (see su) Jun 10 14:24:46 BB on n900, wtf where they smoking? Jun 10 14:24:49 DocScrutinizer06: so, how do I accomplish the goal: hassle free ssh myphone ? Jun 10 14:25:12 vi__: sudo gainroot gets you a rootshell. Jun 10 14:25:20 vi__: so start X-terminal. Jun 10 14:25:22 err, no Jun 10 14:25:38 I want to know for a completly stock n900 Jun 10 14:25:39 sudo gainroot does NOT get you a rootshell Jun 10 14:25:48 root gets you a rootshell Jun 10 14:26:22 DocScrutinizer06: but root && ls also doesn't work. Jun 10 14:26:33 yes Jun 10 14:26:42 there's sudo for that Jun 10 14:26:43 DocScrutinizer06: you are probably right about that other thing. Jun 10 14:26:57 DocScrutinizer06: so, sudo root && ls? Jun 10 14:26:59 fasta echo "ls" | root Jun 10 14:27:03 sudo ls Jun 10 14:27:09 fasta: echo "ls" | root Jun 10 14:27:16 and that's not configured in sudoers Jun 10 14:27:22 DocScrutinizer06: right Jun 10 14:27:43 echo ls | root Jun 10 14:27:43 mesg: not a tty Jun 10 14:28:47 fasta: echo "ls" | sudo gainroot Jun 10 14:29:13 vi__: ok, that does work. Jun 10 14:29:34 fasta: wtf are you trying to do? Jun 10 14:29:50 indeed Jun 10 14:29:53 vi__: I am trying to write a script which will install some tools. Jun 10 14:30:07 vi__: but without having to do useless things manually. Jun 10 14:30:16 via apt? Jun 10 14:30:19 hahaha Jun 10 14:30:56 ~ $ echo whoami | root Jun 10 14:30:57 Password: Jun 10 14:30:59 root Jun 10 14:32:17 Is root the rootpassword? Jun 10 14:32:33 escalating powers to root never is a nice thing to do hidden in a script Jun 10 14:32:59 no, do you think I print my root password here ;-P Jun 10 14:33:00 DocScrutinizer06: hidden? I am writing the code myself for me. Jun 10 14:33:50 It's only 8 chars. Jun 10 14:34:02 I don't think it matters whether you broadcast it or not. Jun 10 14:34:06 even then it's best practice to demand from yourself to enter "root" before you invoke a script that needs root Jun 10 14:34:51 well, it's not echoing when I type it, so how could I c&p? Jun 10 14:35:02 DocScrutinizers root password: URWRONG1 Jun 10 14:35:31 DocScrutinizer: you are in german6 Jun 10 14:35:39 DocScrutinizer: you are in germany? Jun 10 14:35:44 yep Jun 10 14:35:46 why? Jun 10 14:35:48 RICHTIG1 Jun 10 14:35:59 AMIRIGHT Jun 10 14:36:26 you know if there is a trading standards office in germany where you go to complain about dodgy shops? Jun 10 14:36:47 well, you completely miss the detail that my n900 at all asks for a password Jun 10 14:36:55 yours probably won't Jun 10 14:37:15 and that's been the only thing I wanted to show Jun 10 14:37:49 to make fasta aware it's not a good idea to rely on echo xyz|sudo gainroot working in a script Jun 10 14:38:02 no it is not Jun 10 14:38:13 however I am sure he is sware of thed risks. Jun 10 14:38:22 Which risks? Jun 10 14:38:31 I am executing my own code. Jun 10 14:38:38 it's not even about the risks, it's about portability Jun 10 14:38:41 fasta somone might rewt ur bocks. Jun 10 14:39:10 But I don't have any comparable devices to an n900. Jun 10 14:39:34 It's designed to be 'portable' to an n900. Jun 10 14:39:42 the risk already there with sudo gainroot itself, resp with sudoers.d/01root not having PASSWD Jun 10 14:39:47 fasta: do not worry about it. DocScrutinizer is just a paranoid nut. Jun 10 14:39:50 fasta, elevate the script from bash, don't elevate script from script Jun 10 14:40:11 Hurrian: I would like to have the scripts stored on a desktop directory. Jun 10 14:40:17 Hurrian: ++ Jun 10 14:40:23 Hurrian: so, now what? Jun 10 14:40:38 wrapper script Jun 10 14:40:46 With your method, I need to first write a script to fetch it from the desktop. Jun 10 14:40:58 Also, I need to do that for every script I might want to call. Jun 10 14:41:04 fasta: wtf?! Jun 10 14:41:08 In short, not economically sane use of my time. Jun 10 14:41:15 I *completely* miss your problem Jun 10 14:41:16 DocScrutinizer: so german trading standards office, do they exist? Jun 10 14:41:29 DocScrutinizer06: I don't want to store the scripts on the phone. Jun 10 14:41:37 so ?? Jun 10 14:42:27 Ok, well, I could write an executeDesktopScript scriptname script. Jun 10 14:42:41 set up a proper sshkey pair for root@n900, cat script|ssh root@n900 Jun 10 14:43:13 DocScrutinizer06: well, that's a good solution too. Jun 10 14:43:21 DocScrutinizer06: in fact, even better. Jun 10 14:43:34 DocScrutinizer06: I did setup a proper sshkey pair of course. Jun 10 14:43:36 btw concerning about not storing *scripts* (some kB MAX) on a device with 32GB storage, is.... Jun 10 14:43:51 DocScrutinizer06: that's just for management purposes. Jun 10 14:44:08 is chem|st german? Jun 10 14:44:13 chem|st: ping Jun 10 14:44:16 yep, afaik Jun 10 14:44:47 perhaps he will know if germany has a trading standards office. Jun 10 14:45:02 I don't even know what that might be Jun 10 14:45:27 where you can make complaints about ships that rip people off. Jun 10 14:45:41 ^shops Jun 10 14:47:36 "Verbraucherzentrale" Jun 10 14:47:41 or the police Jun 10 14:49:01 for international trade there's still another entity, to settle conflicts with inner-EU trade Jun 10 14:52:08 what if I bought somthing from germany and it has turned out to be substandard. Jun 10 14:52:13 ? Jun 10 14:52:41 complain at the shop where you bought it Jun 10 14:52:50 If I give you his address, could you go around to his place and puch him in the dick? Jun 10 14:53:14 I could, but next week I'm busy ;-P Jun 10 14:53:52 but what do you do if the shop owner ignores your complaints and refuses to refund your money? Jun 10 14:54:02 vi__: you're in East? Jun 10 14:54:08 UK Jun 10 14:54:11 aaah Jun 10 14:54:38 no problem then, you are actually part of EU, believe it or not (still) Jun 10 14:55:35 each EU country has an EU trade conflict settlement entity - don't ask me about the name Jun 10 14:55:40 EU==hooray for propping up shithole countries that forgot to collect any tax for 20 years. Jun 10 14:55:50 yeah Jun 10 14:55:57 hail hellas Jun 10 14:57:51 vi__: afaik you have two weeks to send good back without further reasoning, after reception Jun 10 14:58:01 goods* Jun 10 14:58:59 and if value of goods is >(iirc)30EUR, shop has to even refund you for shipping fee Jun 10 14:59:55 unfortunatley it has been 3 months. Jun 10 14:59:56 but first of all, complain @ shop Jun 10 15:00:04 hmm, that's bad Jun 10 15:00:16 the shock absorber has just been fitted. Jun 10 15:00:23 and it is fucked. Jun 10 15:00:31 so all you got now is your legal warranty Jun 10 15:00:35 it was supposed to be good. Jun 10 15:00:51 I paid >wpp euros Jun 10 15:00:56 I paid >200 euros Jun 10 15:01:00 still same: complain @ shop, ask for warranty replacement Jun 10 15:01:21 I am FUCKING INSANE WITH RAGE. Jun 10 15:02:22 I know that. All the waiting, all the trouble to order stuff, all the work to fit the part, just to realize it's been futile Jun 10 15:03:12 * vi__ has learnt a harsh lesson. Jun 10 15:03:33 well, shit happens Jun 10 15:03:44 even with decent shops Jun 10 15:03:59 Somedays you are the statue, somedays you are the bird. Jun 10 15:04:36 vi__: you'd wish you had nuclear launch capability at such times, right? Jun 10 15:05:21 I ordered a laptop with all sorts of custom tweaking and accessories. When it arrived it turned out the friggin lenovo proprietary PSU was defect. I mailed and called the shop about it and they sent me a free replacement PSU, one for the mail and one for the phonecall ;-D Jun 10 15:06:02 I kind of hate it that these webshops cannot send a replacement part back first. Jun 10 15:06:12 I mean before I send out the semi-broken item. Jun 10 15:06:25 Or are there shops which do this? Jun 10 15:06:30 For example with broken mobos. Jun 10 15:07:00 this shop did - "no, please don't send in the broken PSU. It needs proper disposal for recycling, could you please do that for us?" Jun 10 15:07:33 DocScrutinizer06: perhaps they know you as some technical "God"? Jun 10 15:07:43 definitely not Jun 10 15:08:48 I explained I tested mains cable -> 230V~. next break: plug to laptop -> 0V Jun 10 15:09:26 so, I concluded, it's the PSU or cable mounted to PSU that's defect Jun 10 15:09:41 they sent me two replacements right away Jun 10 15:10:27 hi my first time here, i just installed whatsapp using the java oracle deb and the whatsapp deb file, i can't seem to see any messages sent to me, any suggestions Jun 10 15:10:35 hi obengdako Jun 10 15:11:08 obengdako: which device? Jun 10 15:11:30 hi DocScrutinizer06 nokia n900 Jun 10 15:13:30 so, a) seems you're at the right place here for your question, b) I have no idea and c) wait if somebody else will answer next 2..3h. If not, repeat your question, maybe a bit more prevcise regarding what you did install, and what's the problem/symptoms you encounter Jun 10 15:16:05 fasta, OTOh, I would recommend You to install busybox power, as said... Jun 10 15:16:24 this way, Yuo hjave same, consistent tool njo matter if you're just booting and using recovery console... Jun 10 15:16:28 or already in fully working system Jun 10 15:16:50 also, same task can be done with busybox as well, so installing bash is either laziness - most of the times - that only waste space Jun 10 15:17:04 AIUI whatsapp is written in java and you isntalled a java runtime thing - oracle? Jun 10 15:17:20 or, in some cases, needed for complicated scripts mean to do really, really rarelly needed thing,s that You don't want to re-write Jun 10 15:17:32 i.e. things that you will never ever use ;) Jun 10 15:17:45 some URLs might help, to point to the actual stuff you installed Jun 10 15:17:57 writing scripts in bahs for N900 is a PITA - one day, you may want to share it with someone, and now, maintain compatibility Jun 10 15:18:20 hi my first time here, i just installed whatsapp using the java oracle-embedded-jre and the whatsapp-java-alpha , i can't seem to see any messages sent to me, any suggestions, device n900 Jun 10 15:18:21 or wheter you installed via HildonApplicationManager, and what's the exact names of packages then Jun 10 15:18:27 and replacing busybox with bash for good, except boot, is *not* recommended at all Jun 10 15:18:39 You never know, what will fail on such system, while it's working for others flawlessly. Jun 10 15:19:17 obengdako, for whatsap questions, we're hitting You @ ear using rusty fork. Jun 10 15:20:33 Does a HTC sensation have a builtin FM transmitter also? Jun 10 15:20:44 = either search forum for some things ported to n900 without reason, or, beg whatsshit developers to release N900 version, or *prefferrably*, use Jabber Jun 10 15:20:50 or how it's called now Jun 10 15:20:58 Lots of people seem to say 'no' and a few say 'yes'. Jun 10 15:21:02 fasta, maybe just google for it? How we're supposed to know? Jun 10 15:21:07 check official specings Jun 10 15:21:10 fasta: nfc Jun 10 15:21:14 Estel_: I did. Mostly uninformed people. Yeah, will do. Jun 10 15:21:24 Estel_ i don't quite understand Jun 10 15:28:01 haha, fine you made me look at chanlogs once again - for some technical reasons I can't see what user estel_ writes Jun 10 15:28:56 DocScrutinizer06: is that an /ignore type of reason? Jun 10 15:29:14 fasta: replacing busybox by busybox-pwoer is the thing not recommended at all. Installing bash on the other hand is a perfectly sane thing to do, don't worry about any nonsensical compatibility issues Jun 10 15:29:26 jacekowski: yup Jun 10 15:31:17 fasta: quite obviously relying on other users having installed busybox-power is an insane thing, and you can't specify busybox-pwer in your shebang. You for sure can have a shebang like #!/bin/bash, and that's proper unix way to handle this sort of percieved "incompatibility" Jun 10 15:33:44 fasta, it's your decision what to do. anyway, you might like to search TMO for post/threads of user,s that replaced busybox with bash, and face many, many problems Jun 10 15:34:22 DocScrutinizer, would say, that it's fault of poorly written programs/scripts - which also have some emrit behind it - yet, I think that laziness of some users, that dictate them to use bash instead of learning ash, is ever more poor excuse Jun 10 15:34:44 despite popular opinion, busybox isn't worse -it's differrent, msot of the times. And "old timers" don't like to change their habits ;) Jun 10 15:34:58 obengdako: I dunno what Estel_ recommended. If you want to get proper advice here, you need to ask proper questions. A proper question will allow those who want to help to understand precisely what you did. That includes URLs of downloaded packages, of howto webpages you've read, etc Jun 10 15:35:33 commands you did. just enough so any other user in here can understand what it was you actually did Jun 10 15:35:41 I'm strange example of someone, who had contact with ashy first, and bash some times after - bash irritates me as much, as ash irritates most bash users ;) Jun 10 15:36:02 or simply: Jun 10 15:36:04 ~ask Jun 10 15:36:05 Questions in the channel should be specific, informative, complete, concise, and on-topic. Don't ask if you can ask a question first. Don't ask if a person is there; just ask what you intended to ask them. Better questions more frequently yield better answers. We are all here voluntarily or against our will. Jun 10 15:36:06 and Jun 10 15:36:09 ~question Jun 10 15:36:09 busybox-power is effort by legendary Maemo developer - iDont - to bring us latest updstream version of busybox Jun 10 15:36:10 question is, like, If you have a question and want people to give useful answers, make sure you have read this first: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html Jun 10 15:36:29 and, he succeed - busybox-power is, in fact, upstream version. even more, idon't patches affected upstream releases too. Jun 10 15:37:01 busybox-power is one of essential packages for Maemo, no matter what. Of course, again, it's up to You to decide what You want to use. BTW, there is no problem in using BOTH busybox-power and bash Jun 10 15:38:40 haha, sometimes chanlogs are really great :-P Jun 10 15:39:11 fasta: you're NOT supposed to replace stock busybox by ANYTHING, not even busybox-power Jun 10 15:39:52 What happened to http://qt-apps.org/content/show.php/Quassel2Go?content=136828 ? Jun 10 15:39:58 busybox is a core essential part of maemo boot process, replacing it by anything else is foolish. AIUI busybox-power does exactly that, replace busybox Jun 10 15:40:35 I.e., where can I download a quassel client deb? Jun 10 15:40:54 Or alternatively instructions to do a cross-compile. Jun 10 15:41:01 I would prefer a deb. Jun 10 15:41:19 fasta: in short: install and use whatever shell you prefer best. *NEVER* though you shalt make any other shell default shell Jun 10 15:41:40 DocScrutinizer, if You're reading chanlogs so religiously - it's quite funny and a little pathetic, that You ignore me, yet, check every line from chanlog. Souns like kind of masochism ;) Jun 10 15:41:43 for user (it seems bash as root's default shell is safe) Jun 10 15:41:47 s/souns/sounds/ Jun 10 15:43:35 BTW, whinning about busybox-power replacing busybox is poor bullshit, written by someone who actually don't know what busybox-power is Jun 10 15:43:40 something also called FUD Jun 10 15:44:16 busybox-power incorporates upstream busybox patches - i.e., it's latest upstream version - that ADD funcionality and FIXES bugs, without dropping any things possible in stock busybox Jun 10 15:44:28 think about it like cssu, yet, even more compatible. Jun 10 15:44:41 though I strongly discourrage to do bash default shell for root as well Jun 10 15:44:48 (if it wouldn't be due to ideologically biased maintainer, busybox-power would be part of cssu for ages) Jun 10 15:46:09 and in this context busybox means "the shell and all the 'builtin' commands it comes with" - that's why most unix tools come in gnu-disguise and install under /usr/bin/gnu/* Jun 10 15:47:03 replacing the busybox symlinks aka alternatives by proper original unix-tools will also result in bootloop Jun 10 15:48:36 fasta: and obviously you ran into a busybox-power incompatibility/bug in busybox-ls that has potential to also cause bootloop or other severe issues when you dare to replace original busybox by this powa thing Jun 10 15:49:43 fasta: bottom line: either stick with builtin busybox, or et an *additional* decent shell like described in Jun 10 15:49:46 ~jrtools Jun 10 15:49:46 it has been said that jrtools is http://wiki.maemo.org/User:Joerg_rw/tools Jun 10 15:49:57 since Jun 10 15:50:00 ~messybox Jun 10 15:50:01 messy... err busybox is meant for lean scripting. Regarding all the missing options and immanent limitations (see su) it's not really the interactive shell of choice. A lot of people hate busybox because a lot of system integrators don't understand the difference between busybox and a decent user interactive shell plus unix utils Jun 10 15:52:59 of course DocScrutinizer is spreading FUD, as usual Jun 10 15:53:08 fasta: and obviously you ran into a busybox-power incompatibility/bug in busybox-ls that has potential to also cause bootloop or other severe issues Jun 10 15:53:11 couldn't be more wrong. Jun 10 15:56:39 and of course Estel_ is bitching about it, as usual. Jun 10 15:56:48 andre__, any argument? Jun 10 15:56:55 andre__: thanks! Jun 10 15:57:17 to prove incompatibility and busybox-ls? Jun 10 15:57:25 or You're just trolling around? Jun 10 15:57:26 Estel_, sorry, I don't hand out arguments if you miss any. Jun 10 15:57:35 oh, of course Jun 10 15:57:49 You sound very reliably ;) Jun 10 15:58:11 :-*, honey :) Jun 10 15:58:43 anyway, there are *no* compatibility problems in busybox-power, at all. There *was* - long time ago - minor issue with SU, but it was fixed as soon as reported. Jun 10 15:58:55 such FUD is disregard for hard work iDont put into busybox-power Jun 10 15:58:56 a simple /whois would teach reasonable adults about supoosed competence Jun 10 15:59:33 in fact, it's bastardish disrespect, as - obviously - people criticizing don't have clue about busybox-power at all Jun 10 16:00:06 Estel_, you're really not in a position to complain about missing disrespect Jun 10 16:00:13 not to mean andre__, who, probably, doesn't have a clue about topic of discussion at all, but is trolling just for sake of it ;) Jun 10 16:00:31 @chanop: please calm channel, please control adultery and insult! Jun 10 16:00:33 andre__, fine, put this meaningless sentenc einto Your | and smoke it - as, as usual, you don't have *any* argument to prove Your thesis Jun 10 16:00:44 Estel_, correct! I just dislike your unfriendly, rude, childish style. Jun 10 16:00:46 You're defending FUD about busybox-powe,r yet, You don't even know what we're talking abouty. Jun 10 16:01:15 DocScrutinizer, please consider fact, that any chanel abuse form Your side will be Your last action as channel operator. Jun 10 16:01:16 s/adultery and// Jun 10 16:01:17 DocScrutinizer06 meant: @chanop: please calm channel, please control insult! Jun 10 16:01:23 we're discussing about merits Jun 10 16:01:34 Estel_, if you had arguments, you would have a better and more convincing way to communicate them. My meta-conclusions, so to say. Jun 10 16:01:47 Estel_, no problem, I also have channel op rights ;) Jun 10 16:01:58 of course. as soon as anyone is going to make any *argument* why busybox-power is incompatible... Jun 10 16:02:07 i'll gladly respon in tech answer Jun 10 16:02:13 or, agree, if it will be proved to be true Jun 10 16:02:24 Cheers! Jun 10 16:02:34 instead, we have pathetic troll, that appear here out of nowhere, saying "xx is bitching again", without any interest in actual topic of discussion Jun 10 16:02:38 yea, cheer Jun 10 16:02:44 it's all You can do, anyway Jun 10 16:03:20 Estel_, true, I'm just interested in some basic etiquette that you miss - you've shown that often enough. Jun 10 16:03:29 I'm friendly for everyone, who like to have a civilized, merit discussion, and I don't plan to be friendly for trolls, jumping here and calling names, just because there is occasion to. Jun 10 16:03:31 and that's harmful for this community. Jun 10 16:03:34 ROFL Jun 10 16:03:45 yeah. sure. Jun 10 16:03:47 andre__: we're not supposed to act against Estel_as soon as his insults are diectly aimed against us (chanops)? Jun 10 16:03:58 well, so enjoy fact that I've same opinion about You, + your complete lack of merit - writing for sake of writing. Jun 10 16:04:00 Deal? Jun 10 16:04:02 sane policy indeed Jun 10 16:05:02 DocScrutinizer, Your constant alusions to abusing chanop, jsut because it's what You would liek to do now - yet, are to scarred to try - are ensuring me, that cleaning IRC management is even more urgent think, that I though before. Jun 10 16:05:34 You may be considered main (by terms of availability) chanop here, yet, You completely fail to diverse Your persopnal disagreements with users from Your chanop duties. Jun 10 16:08:05 just for the sake of it, I'm going to quote those lines about "suppoosed" incompatibility in busybox-power and ask iDont - busybox-power developer - about it Jun 10 16:08:31 after all, it's harmful for the community, that such FUD is spread on official channel, by chanop (that mention 6 or 7 times during discussion, that he IS chanop) Jun 10 16:09:26 Let's admit that we all 3 have ego problems, as a start :) Jun 10 16:09:40 popcorn! anybody want popcorn? Jun 10 16:10:29 I could offer a beer from the minibar too! Jun 10 16:10:38 :-d Jun 10 16:10:42 :-D Jun 10 16:25:08 * DocScrutinizer06 summons crashanddie Jun 10 16:25:45 we'd need some of his tough chan moderation nowadays Jun 10 17:36:48 When I play a .mp4 file with kmplayer, the video lags behind the audio by a lot. Jun 10 17:36:57 It seems that it cannot keep up. Jun 10 17:37:08 Is there something better? Jun 10 17:37:23 Also, in kmplayer, how can I delete something from favourites? Jun 10 17:39:01 Or is there some app to autoconvert to avi? Jun 10 17:44:13 fasta: (something better) I think the default medaiplayer does a decent job Jun 10 17:44:40 DocScrutinizer05: the media player says it doesn't understand the way the file is organized. Jun 10 17:44:48 DocScrutinizer05: i.e. it doesn't play at all. Jun 10 17:44:48 hmm Jun 10 17:45:01 DocScrutinizer05: I cp'ed the file to my desktop and can now see the codec, I hope. Jun 10 17:45:38 there's a couple of additional gtreamer codec pkgs Jun 10 17:45:42 might help Jun 10 17:46:01 DocScrutinizer05: VIDEO: [H264] 1280x720 24bpp 90000.000 fps 11965.5 kbps (1460.6 kbyte/s) Jun 10 17:46:03 though I'm not sure if maemo-mediaplayer would profit Jun 10 17:46:40 DocScrutinizer05: any chance that will work? Jun 10 17:46:40 hmm, 1280*720 is quite a bit Jun 10 17:46:52 honestly I don't know Jun 10 17:47:22 DocScrutinizer05: is there any hw accel. for that? Jun 10 17:47:33 DocScrutinizer05: it's the kind of video modern phones generate. Jun 10 17:47:34 usually there should, yes Jun 10 17:47:48 afaik Jun 10 17:48:00 In this case not, like I said. Jun 10 17:48:38 Searching for codec in HAM => nothing Jun 10 17:48:44 there are others around that are way more knowlegable than me regarding this media stuff Jun 10 17:49:53 apt-cache search gstreamer0.10-plugins Jun 10 17:53:09 I didn't have those. Jun 10 17:53:12 Now I do. Jun 10 17:54:08 Any reason to believe it makes a difference? Jun 10 17:54:46 That made no difference. Jun 10 18:07:44 DocScrutinizer05: one of those gstreamer packages is broken now Jun 10 18:09:06 fasta: honestly, I'm not competent regarding video codecs etc Jun 10 18:09:12 DocScrutinizer05: http://paste.kde.org/496802/ Jun 10 18:09:25 all I seem to know is mediaplayer is using mafw Jun 10 18:09:31 DocScrutinizer05: that's apt-get -f install output now Jun 10 18:09:43 mafw? Jun 10 18:10:07 So, basically it cannot install because some other package was already installed. Jun 10 18:10:21 But I also cannot remove it, because lots of other stuff depends on it. Jun 10 18:10:23 Real nice. Jun 10 18:10:27 :/ Jun 10 18:10:44 medai application framework Jun 10 18:10:59 DocScrutinizer05: ? Jun 10 18:11:03 Ok Jun 10 18:11:19 http://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/Maemo_5_Developer_Guide/Using_Multimedia_Components/Media_Application_Framework_(MAFW) Jun 10 18:11:29 DocScrutinizer05: but regarding apt-get specifics? Jun 10 18:11:39 no idea, sorry Jun 10 18:11:41 All I would like now is to get it in a sane state again. Jun 10 18:12:49 DocScrutinizer05: I fixed it myself. Jun 10 18:13:46 DocScrutinizer05: but what do you do when you get a high-bit rate video from someone? Jun 10 18:13:53 DocScrutinizer05: just don't play it on your phone? Jun 10 18:14:11 :shrug: Jun 10 18:14:42 if you find the definitive answer to this question, please let me know Jun 10 18:16:25 AIUI the decoding of high-bitrate HD video is quite heavy and thus can't get done on N900, even if you would assume it to scale to N900 screen/video compatible format after decoding Jun 10 18:16:48 can't get done in realtime, that is Jun 10 18:17:10 Well, I wouldn't mind waiting, as long as it's done in the background. Jun 10 18:18:16 I think there are quite a number of transcoders available, that would process like a few seconds per minute, and eventually provide a 480*800 video file Jun 10 18:18:54 I never looked into all that Jun 10 18:19:10 not even on desktop PC Jun 10 18:19:16 Handbrake also doesn't compile out of the box. Jun 10 18:19:39 I wonder what people find so hard about creating something that works on generic Linux. Jun 10 18:19:47 From my experience it's pretty easy. Jun 10 18:24:27 who's finding what? Jun 10 18:29:25 dang, I already thought looking at chanlog would help I understand why you post that statement. But there's no hidden statement claiming "it's not a simple thing to create working stuff on generic linux" Jun 10 18:29:43 s/I/me/. Jun 10 18:32:05 DocScrutinizer05: the people who release Handbrake source code. Jun 10 18:38:33 fasta: (regarding what to do when somebody sends you high-bitrate video) either the one sending this to you thought you should watch it on a 54" HD screen, or it's been a noob who sent it. In the latter case I tend to process on it like I do with inadvertedly sent in .doc files or HTML-only mails. Reject and/or delete Jun 10 19:38:16 DocScrutinizer05: well, the words of the n00b would probably be 'buy a decent phone then' ;) Jun 10 19:39:25 :shrug: Jun 10 19:39:51 noobs alrready asked me if I don't finally want to get a smartphone instead my Nokia N900 Jun 10 19:40:03 But why? Jun 10 19:40:12 lol Jun 10 19:40:20 Who wants a /smartphone/ anyway? Jun 10 19:40:48 Seems silly. a Micro-PC(with phone functionality) is /far/ better. Jun 10 19:41:01 but wouldn't it make you smarter(smartphone I mean)? :P Jun 10 19:41:14 Nah, it /steals/ your smarts. Jun 10 19:41:25 It is smart so you don't have to be. Jun 10 19:41:38 But if you jailbreak an android phone, can't you also just put some random OS on it? Jun 10 19:41:59 E.g. Ubuntu. Jun 10 19:42:17 Not really. Jun 10 19:42:21 I thought Ubuntu was trying to do those kinds of things. Jun 10 19:42:38 Trying, yes. But so far, I've not seen something as good as Maemo Jun 10 19:42:51 AFAIK ubuntu has only OMAP3/4 builds (besides x86) Jun 10 19:43:10 Between closed driver blobs, Ubuntu aiming for a hybrid design that still runs Android at the phone level... Jun 10 19:43:58 BTW guys thumb2 season is open http://maemo.merlin1991.at/cssu/community-thumb/ Jun 10 19:44:07 I think the hard parts of a phone work really good in Maemo, but the software isn't really _that_ great. Jun 10 19:44:12 Maby when Allwinner comes out with an A9 derivitive, we'll have a better solution - Their A10(which is a Cortex A8 derivitive) is an excellent chip, OSS friendly. Jun 10 19:44:14 I wonder why my browser has become slow with time Jun 10 19:44:19 or rather on an n900. Jun 10 19:44:28 Nah, hardware's lacking with the N900 Jun 10 19:44:33 I mean I type a URL in microB and it takes a long time even to start DNSing it and downloading it Jun 10 19:44:44 it wasn't like that when my phone was new :( Jun 10 19:44:46 Sc0rpius: the same here, very strange Jun 10 19:45:02 I hope it doesn't have something to do with CSSU... Jun 10 19:45:08 i've cleaned all of the offline storage, no use Jun 10 19:45:13 shouldn't have Jun 10 19:45:17 robbiethe1st: sure, it's underpowered, but it doesn't seem to have major bugs. Jun 10 19:45:19 Personally, I've been running OC'd to 900mhz, with PR1.3 and swappolube; helps emencely Jun 10 19:45:37 swappolube, what a name. Jun 10 19:45:38 my syster has CSSU too, microb is fast on her n900 Jun 10 19:45:40 That is true. Only real HW bug is the USB port. Jun 10 19:46:11 Sc0rpius: though I am not sure whether she has adblock installed Jun 10 19:46:40 I do have it installed Jun 10 19:46:44 me too Jun 10 19:46:48 but I have always have it installed Jun 10 19:46:56 since I bought the phone Jun 10 19:47:03 it was one of the first things I installed Jun 10 19:47:10 the same here, but that was first that come to my mind Jun 10 19:47:29 you wiped history and stuff? Jun 10 19:47:35 yep Jun 10 19:47:45 no difference Jun 10 19:48:05 and I can bet it has something to do with DNS Jun 10 19:48:11 but NFC what Jun 10 19:48:38 Try editing /etc/resolv.conf, comment out everything and add Jun 10 19:48:42 nameserver 8.8.8.8 Jun 10 19:48:47 to a new line Jun 10 19:48:56 robbiethe1st: there is no /etc/resolv.conf Jun 10 19:49:09 it is dnsmasq.conf Jun 10 19:49:50 May be a CSSU thing then Jun 10 19:49:59 or KP? Jun 10 19:50:00 Mine has a resolv.conf Jun 10 19:50:04 meh Jun 10 19:50:05 Nope, I run KP Jun 10 19:50:20 Read what I wrote, please Jun 10 19:50:26 re my sisters n900 Jun 10 19:51:27 Bugs don't always act the same way Jun 10 19:51:33 It was me to setup her n900, almost the same as mine (CSSU-T, KP, swap on uSD, etc,etc) Jun 10 19:52:02 she uses different mobile network though Jun 10 19:52:02 it's not DNS related. If I type the URL of my LAN web server using the IP it still takes an awful time to start connecting Jun 10 19:52:36 Have you tried restarting microb? run killall browser; killall browserd Jun 10 19:52:58 I tried even rebooting the phone Jun 10 19:53:15 robbiethe1st: You can bet me and Sc0rpius even rebooted Jun 10 19:53:17 yeah Jun 10 19:53:19 but it takes LONG time, like 40 seconds or up to a minute to start connecting Jun 10 19:53:25 :nod: Jun 10 19:53:27 the same here Jun 10 19:53:32 after it connects, it downloads fine Jun 10 19:53:40 exactly Jun 10 19:53:59 Don't have the problem myself, but I have had it seemingly not connect occasionally Jun 10 19:54:09 But I've never let it sit for 40sec to see if it does Jun 10 19:54:26 I'll just killall browser/browserd, and when the app restarts it works fine Jun 10 19:54:34 * freemangordon starts tcpdump on usb0 Jun 10 19:58:57 /etc/resov.conf is meant to point to 128.0.0.1 *always* Jun 10 19:59:06 dnsmasq does the real work Jun 10 20:00:04 regarding delay on even stratup: that's exactly what I experience on this Laptop with fresh Linux install as well, already wondered if it's related to Ipv6 or sth Jun 10 20:00:28 exctla those 40s Sc0rpius sees Jun 10 20:00:33 exactly Jun 10 20:00:46 DocScrutinizer: could be Jun 10 20:01:15 I already tried to whireshark the issue, no results yet Jun 10 20:01:33 128.0.0.1? :P Jun 10 20:02:03 :D Jun 10 20:02:15 that is second localhost :P Jun 10 20:02:41 /etc/resolv.conf should point to 127.0.0.1 in Maemo??? Jun 10 20:02:50 no Jun 10 20:02:53 AFAIK Jun 10 20:03:03 no way there's no named in Maemo. Jun 10 20:03:21 Nokia-N900:~# ps | grep named Jun 10 20:03:21 3137 root 2088 S grep named Jun 10 20:03:59 but it works though... Jun 10 20:04:10 Server: 127.0.0.1 Jun 10 20:04:11 Address 1: 127.0.0.1 Nokia-N900-51-1 Jun 10 20:04:11 Name: www.sun.com Jun 10 20:04:11 Address 1: 137.254.16.113 bigip-www-legacy-sun-cms-adc.oracle.com Jun 10 20:05:06 but that doesn't fix the issue, it still takes time to connect Jun 10 20:05:13 I really wonder what it is... Jun 10 20:06:51 hmm, I am seeing a massive UDP packet bursts to tenths of ip dresses Jun 10 20:06:56 *addresses Jun 10 20:09:04 very strange, it takes exactly 15 seconds for the start of the bursts and first SYN to TMO Jun 10 20:09:14 s/for/from Jun 10 20:11:05 37 seconds here and browserd was +90% CPU during all that time Jun 10 20:11:38 yep, almost the same here Jun 10 20:12:00 going to check if "clear private data" actually clears the database Jun 10 20:15:07 IroN900:~# cat /etc/resolv.conf Jun 10 20:15:08 nameserver 127.0.0.1 Jun 10 20:15:47 aah, my bad, the same here Jun 10 20:16:02 try this: Jun 10 20:16:14 IroN900:~# ps|grep dns Jun 10 20:16:15 1650 nobody 2160 S /usr/sbin/dnsmasq -k -i lo -a 127.0.0.1 -z Jun 10 20:16:19 Options -> AddOns -> disable adblock, restart microb (there's a button for that) Jun 10 20:16:36 i've tried it, no luck Jun 10 20:16:47 did it help you? Jun 10 20:16:53 hmm Jun 10 20:16:53 yeah same here Jun 10 20:16:53 no. Jun 10 20:17:06 well maybe a little Jun 10 20:17:57 it definitely went down from 40 seconds to 5 Jun 10 20:18:02 though 5 is still high hehe Jun 10 20:18:18 hmm, let me trey once again then Jun 10 20:18:21 *try Jun 10 20:18:45 no adblock though on my Lenovo T500 in konqueror Jun 10 20:20:28 Sc0rpius: it is deffinitely adblockplus :( Jun 10 20:20:41 or whatever it is called Jun 10 20:20:49 and actually I don't encounter this annoying 40s delay not always, but rather seemingly on a somewhat random basis Jun 10 20:20:50 yeah looks like that Jun 10 20:21:03 DocScrutinizer05, are you using AdBlock? Jun 10 20:21:07 no Jun 10 20:21:13 more bugs, gimme more bugs :D:D:D Jun 10 20:21:44 though, I dunno what got installed on this fresh suse21.1 Jun 10 20:21:47 12.1 Jun 10 20:21:58 don't you wanna be a good soul and port AdBlock to microB in a lightweight manner? :) Jun 10 20:22:04 Sc0rpius: today when I tried to disable adblock, I was connected to a crappy 2g network ;) Jun 10 20:22:13 Sc0rpius: me? Jun 10 20:22:18 the first time I tried it I didn't clear private data Jun 10 20:22:23 so I'm not sure if it's a mix of the two Jun 10 20:22:26 yeah you Jun 10 20:22:31 hehe Jun 10 20:22:37 you want bugs I'm giving you a nice project Jun 10 20:22:39 hehe Jun 10 20:22:45 I'm quite sure it's related to some rogue URL or IP or script embedded in some pages Jun 10 20:22:47 some crappy JS? Jun 10 20:23:02 something like that Jun 10 20:23:06 DocScrutinizer05: that happens when openning TMO Jun 10 20:23:13 same Jun 10 20:23:19 with JS disabled in browaser Jun 10 20:23:21 sometimes dely, usually not Jun 10 20:23:24 delay Jun 10 20:24:05 on Laptop, all my comments are related to x86 suse12.1 linux Jun 10 20:25:08 hmm, lets ask google Jun 10 20:30:27 hmm, I'm missing the direct setting for java, JS, and cache policy under konqueror extras Jun 10 20:31:07 anyway I just disabled java and had no delay for 10 pages I opened since. Not enough to claim any relevance Jun 10 20:41:33 Sc0rpius: WTF? patterns.ini that comes with adblockplus package is 78k, the current one is about 560k Jun 10 20:47:49 Sc0rpius = the "Yappari" Sc0rpius? Jun 10 20:48:49 yep Jun 10 20:54:51 hmm Jun 10 20:54:53 yes I am Jun 10 20:55:00 that's an interesting finding freemangordon Jun 10 20:55:10 didn't knew it actually updates itself Jun 10 20:55:28 WOW, I've forgotten how fast is microb, damn, stupid ADP Jun 10 20:56:20 Sc0rpius: yeah, didn't know it as well Jun 10 20:57:52 so... ? Jun 10 20:57:53 yeah it's pretty fast. Jun 10 20:58:17 * DocScrutinizer05 likes to pop stack and move return code to storage Jun 10 20:58:37 means: any results? Jun 10 20:58:44 so.. ADB puts microb on its knees Jun 10 20:58:53 mhm Jun 10 20:59:04 we could try with a tiny patterns.ini version Jun 10 20:59:14 but I dunno, the difference is really huge Jun 10 20:59:23 alreadyt tried it, the one from distribution Jun 10 20:59:30 it actually even behaves faster with all those flash ads with animations than with ADB Jun 10 20:59:32 just that I fail to see how I could have ADB on my suse linux in konqueror. How would I check that? Jun 10 20:59:52 Konqueror? I don't think that's capable of having ADB Jun 10 20:59:56 aon startp it's been renamed to .bak, and a new one with only 178 bytes was created Jun 10 21:00:25 NFC how it updates is blacklist Jun 10 21:00:33 going to reinstall ABD Jun 10 21:01:01 abd? Jun 10 21:01:09 ABP Jun 10 21:01:12 adb? Jun 10 21:01:21 :D:D:D Jun 10 21:01:24 naah Jun 10 21:01:34 no android crap here :P Jun 10 21:01:38 hahaha Jun 10 21:02:10 so we're still talking about AddBlock+? Jun 10 21:02:13 we.ñ Jun 10 21:02:15 we.. Jun 10 21:02:25 :S Jun 10 21:02:29 I can't even type Jun 10 21:02:54 apt-get install --reinstall adblock-plus-1.0 does the job Jun 10 21:03:06 Sc0rpius: could you rty it? Jun 10 21:03:09 *try Jun 10 21:03:11 and I assume ADP and ADB and ABD are all synonyms for AddBlock+? Jun 10 21:03:22 twas a typo Jun 10 21:03:35 ADB i mean Jun 10 21:03:52 and yes, we're talking about AddBlock+ Jun 10 21:04:41 I could try, but it'll update patterns.ini anyway Jun 10 21:04:46 eventually Jun 10 21:04:50 Sc0rpius: how? Jun 10 21:05:00 where you will get them from? Jun 10 21:05:02 I'd like to believe it's been Java/JRE here, in konqueror Jun 10 21:05:23 or this friggin flash11-plugin? Jun 10 21:05:25 it automatically does it, if you see where your patterns.ini is, you'll see different backups from different versions every time it updated itself Jun 10 21:05:28 and it seems to be once a day Jun 10 21:06:08 Sc0rpius: but it won't help then, tomorrow my microb will be screwed up again Jun 10 21:06:13 yes. Jun 10 21:06:18 unless we figure out how to disable that Jun 10 21:06:46 sigh Jun 10 21:06:49 which I believe you can Jun 10 21:07:04 lets again ask google :) Jun 10 21:07:58 there's a Preferences button for Adblock Jun 10 21:08:24 yeah, opens another not very useful window Jun 10 21:12:38 Sc0rpius: that option is added in last ADP version (2.03) which is not available for microb Jun 10 21:12:52 (disable automatic updates) Jun 10 21:13:08 :S Jun 10 21:13:28 then I'm not using Adblock Plus. Anyway I don't visit websites with too much ads using the N900 Jun 10 21:13:40 I need it to be fast more than to be clean Jun 10 21:13:50 FWIW noscript works on microb. Jun 10 21:13:50 yeah :S Jun 10 21:13:51 since I can't have both :( Jun 10 21:14:04 vi_: what is that? Jun 10 21:14:15 I use the flash "clickToRun" thing Jun 10 21:14:20 You could also use a small hosts adblock without ABP overheads. Jun 10 21:14:27 works /excellently/ for keeping MicroB fast. Jun 10 21:14:28 robbiethe1st: I use that too. Jun 10 21:14:46 you mean settings 127.0.0.1 to in /etc/hosts to ads sites? Jun 10 21:14:49 setting Jun 10 21:14:50 freemangordon: noscript disables ALL scripting of all everykind except on pages you whhitelist. Jun 10 21:15:00 Helps keep things snappy. Jun 10 21:15:16 it is in repos? Jun 10 21:15:36 No, you have to go 'find it' from the firefox plugins web page. Jun 10 21:15:41 aah, ok Jun 10 21:16:36 And yes ABP is a massive hog. Jun 10 21:18:31 http://tlvince.com/2010/08/02/hosts-adblock/ Jun 10 21:19:33 vi_: 10x Jun 10 21:26:43 hmm, installed ABP 1.3.10 from mozzula website, so far everything is snappy Jun 10 21:28:19 unfortunately does not seem to work Jun 10 21:28:22 lols Jun 10 21:28:31 did you killall browserd? Jun 10 21:28:34 yep Jun 10 21:28:39 mmm Jun 10 21:28:50 it is listed as plugin on addons page Jun 10 21:28:55 let me restart the device Jun 10 21:29:01 noooooo Jun 10 21:29:05 your uptime! Jun 10 21:29:12 don't care Jun 10 21:29:15 :) Jun 10 21:31:50 hmm, seems to work after the restart Jun 10 21:32:33 Sc0rpius: seems ABP updates every 5 days Jun 10 21:33:00 it sucks. Jun 10 21:33:42 don;t see any speed difference between 1.02 and 1.3.10 though Jun 10 21:34:25 takes 10 seconds until TMO starts to download :( Jun 10 21:34:59 but that is only for the first site, after that everything is snappy Jun 10 21:35:14 and you were wondering who ate your ram? Jun 10 21:35:22 yeah :D Jun 10 21:39:40 but 1.3.10 seems much better than 1.02, lets see how it will be after blacklist update Jun 10 21:40:19 you could perhaps configure it to use the fanboy super light weight block list as oppose to easy ist? Jun 10 21:40:31 ^list Jun 10 21:40:44 That might yield a speed inprovment. Jun 10 21:41:12 yeah, if the full list slows it again i will google for some light list Jun 10 21:41:59 fanboy is your man Jun 10 21:43:03 Fucking Rockoil SVI. Jun 10 21:43:20 Their 5wt is as heavy as amsol 10wt. Jun 10 21:43:35 Their 2.5wt is piss. Jun 10 21:43:57 Sc0rpius so big thx for yappari. now my friends cannot anoy me anymore why im not using whatsapp ;) Jun 10 21:44:29 Why are you using whatsapp? Jun 10 21:44:38 What about the 1 year cost?

It's fixed in the current release Jun 10 21:49:29 well if you speak japanese Jun 10 21:49:49 when you (used to ) ask a Japanese: "there's no Whatsapp for N900" (in japanese of course) Jun 10 21:49:55 he would say "yappari..." as "I knew it" Jun 10 21:50:03 hehe Jun 10 21:50:05 and since it has "app" in between Jun 10 21:50:16 it makes a funny pun for the japanese Jun 10 21:56:30 whatsapp, the hugest scam of the last 5 years Jun 10 21:57:46 hm they charge for jabber? or whats the thing? Jun 10 21:58:00 a few years ago it's been the skype hype, not whatsapp Jun 10 21:59:17 nox-: that's what I understood it is Jun 10 21:59:39 oh well... Jun 10 22:00:45 another service offering for free what's been around for free since years but not been marketed that agressively, and skimming the user data and eventually throw in "added value" the user has to pay for Jun 10 22:04:06 Whatsapp actually already have all the contact information of the planet Jun 10 22:04:08 including yours Jun 10 22:04:24 you just need to be in the address book of somebody who uses Whatsapp, that's all. Jun 10 22:04:31 and I'm way too sure that you are in several of those .P Jun 10 22:04:34 :P Jun 10 22:04:45 me? definitely not Jun 10 22:04:53 you must have a friend who uses Whatsapp Jun 10 22:05:00 you just don't know Jun 10 22:05:05 no such "friends" here Jun 10 22:05:16 the whole address book of anybody who uses Whatsapp is uploaded Jun 10 22:05:20 Friend? what's that? Jun 10 22:07:28 DocScrutinizer05: could not prevent friends of using it Jun 10 22:07:36 from using it.. Jun 10 22:08:50 nox-: they even have a "second" app for doing calls Jun 10 22:09:16 nox-: sry, they SELL a 2nd app... for doing calls^^ Jun 10 22:09:27 oh well... Jun 10 22:09:50 LOL Jun 10 22:10:16 freemangordon, afaik adblock plus pattern list is optional Jun 10 22:10:18 DocScrutinizer05: nothing to laugh about! sad story bro' Jun 10 22:10:33 indeed Jun 10 22:10:46 not particularly new a story though Jun 10 22:10:49 i.e. it works by having patterns for most popular adds - for sake of installing and running out of the box Jun 10 22:11:07 last time I've tried addblockplus it was possible to disable auto list... Jun 10 22:11:14 and rely on Your own patterns Jun 10 22:12:03 i.e. You see add -> You add it to list -> You don't see it again on that site Jun 10 22:12:21 DocScrutinizer05: we had ICQ skype msn aolm and tons of other shit ppl all over the world use for some reason... all do the same... eat your soul Jun 10 22:12:41 patterns try to block adds for whole world, they have to be ram hogs :P Jun 10 22:13:04 vi_, freemangordon, how are You installing mozilla addonds for microB from out of repos? Jun 10 22:13:17 is it possible to install some old versions, or what? Jun 10 22:13:19 army of losers, yeah, a particularly nice one Jun 10 22:14:45 the average stupid is just too greedy to notice the ever same pattern, even after falling for it for the 10th or 20th time Jun 10 22:15:07 DocScrutinizer05: it is a shame... also blocking foreign servers is the new style... looking at all those jabber servers restricting to "the one and only service you may use" Jun 10 22:15:43 chem|st: I just say SchuFa and Facebook - ROTFL Jun 10 22:17:06 every idiot and his dog are in FB, but when a credit profiling company announces they gonna read the FB data, it's national shock and awe Jun 10 22:17:28 DocScrutinizer05: adding the CIA terrorist words-list to it and you may get a pretty fsckd database of people worth credit for weapons... Jun 10 22:17:35 Estel_: go to addons.mozilla.org and pick your one Jun 10 22:17:48 you really think they will stop doing that just because you whine "that's evil!" Jun 10 22:18:27 actually they already are harvesting your data off FB since very beginning Jun 10 22:19:47 DocScrutinizer05: sure that is why I get afghan commercial banners all over the place, working place "afghan logistics and tours kabul" ever since :) Jun 10 22:21:29 even my mom asked me to change it as she feared her swiss fb-friends to ask stupid questions^^ Jun 10 22:29:56 freemangordon, and it's supposed to work?! Jun 10 22:30:30 if yes, my yaw is going to drop and make big hole to the earth center Jun 10 22:31:22 I always though our UI is incompatible Jun 10 22:31:31 (microB UI) Jun 10 22:38:07 Estel_, at least ABP 1.3.10 works (though there is no "block" tab on flash animations) Jun 10 22:38:07 freemangordon, vi_, call me stupid, but I haven't had idea, that we're able to flawlessly install addons for microB... Jun 10 22:38:14 I see Jun 10 22:38:35 we can't, at least not flawlessly Jun 10 22:38:40 there's always some kind of hack involved Jun 10 22:38:55 at least in my experience maybe nowadays is more n00b proof dunno Jun 10 22:38:59 well, installed flagfox for test (small thing that show flag near address, to indicate country where server is, + show IP address on demand) Jun 10 22:39:15 and obviously, as it relies on UI, it doesn't seem to work Jun 10 22:39:24 although, probably, backend thing does Jun 10 22:39:43 if i can find working spellcheckedr with switchable languages, I'm in heaven Jun 10 22:42:55 freemangordon, restarting after installation Jun 10 22:43:12 only microB closing and opening, or killall browser needed? Jun 10 22:43:16 or browserd? Jun 10 22:43:41 sorry for pestering You with questions Jun 10 22:43:58 it's just shock to me that we can try addons like that in microB Jun 10 22:45:17 killall browserd Jun 10 22:45:19 killall browser Jun 10 22:46:05 * Estel_ nods Jun 10 22:46:30 if lazarus form recovery and spellchecking are gonna work, I'm going officialy orgasmic Jun 10 22:46:43 what do I need chromium for, then? Jun 10 22:48:40 why does Gitorious's wiki markup suck? Jun 10 22:49:52 Estel_: how's it look so far? :P https://gitorious.org/handheld-gentoo-overlays/pages/N900 Jun 10 22:52:40 luke-jr, much better than before ;) Jun 10 22:53:07 btw, small info - kernel power support ext4 for ages, so info about it being limited to ext3 is wrong Jun 10 22:54:28 Hehe, since Nokia started upgrading Symbian Belle with Microsoft shit, the OS has become less stable Jun 10 22:55:22 luke-jr, also, You have typo in wifi section - "start GPRS interface" Jun 10 22:55:42 overall, good beginning, I like it. Care to move it to Maemo wiki too? Jun 10 22:55:44 Estel_: what's the typo? O.o Jun 10 22:55:53 oh, was it on purpose? Jun 10 22:56:11 what on purpose? O.o Jun 10 22:56:13 I mean, start GPRS interface to run WiFi? Jun 10 22:56:17 oooooo Jun 10 22:56:23 thanks :P Jun 10 22:56:26 np :P Jun 10 22:56:40 Maemo Wiki would probably make it easier (Gitorious markdown sucks), but does it really fit there? Jun 10 22:56:46 see few lines ago, kernel-power reads ext4 without problems Jun 10 22:56:48 of course Jun 10 22:56:54 it fit there as hell Jun 10 22:57:02 Estel_: it reads/writes ext4 without a journal? Jun 10 22:57:06 if ubuntu 12.04 fit there, why not gentoo Jun 10 22:57:15 lol Jun 10 22:57:16 yea, it reads/write like desktop Jun 10 22:57:32 Estel_: I thought it was too old for that, unless someone backported it o.o Jun 10 22:57:41 afaik yes Jun 10 22:57:47 hmm Jun 10 22:58:02 kernel-power isn't 2.6.28 at all, in reality Jun 10 22:58:06 XD Jun 10 22:58:09 considering all backports Jun 10 22:58:37 btw hope Your subpage "modern kernel" is going to be full of magic too :P Jun 10 22:58:40 I'm not sure Gentoo's power kernel is completely up to date either - I think they've been doing a lot this year? Jun 10 22:58:54 of course Jun 10 22:59:05 to write "Modern kernel", I'm going to have to start over with 3.4 or 3.5 :| Jun 10 22:59:13 ;) Jun 10 22:59:31 to take it serious, You should maintain proper gentoo branch of KP Jun 10 22:59:40 ? Jun 10 22:59:54 unless You want to have PITA applying all gentoo changes to kp50 Jun 10 22:59:59 not really anything special needed for Gentoo Jun 10 23:00:01 and every next version Jun 10 23:00:04 I see. Jun 10 23:00:05 gentoo's kernel is really just bugfixes Jun 10 23:00:45 it would be pretty awesome if I could get Maemo running inside LXC though Jun 10 23:00:47 are You sure that those bugfixes were't included in KP separately? ;) Jun 10 23:01:02 Estel_: they are, which is why I don't see a point to any KP fork :p Jun 10 23:01:35 (and if I find any that aren't, it makes sense to put them to main KP too) Jun 10 23:01:38 so for gentoo on N900, You may just use straight upstream kp50 flawlessly? Jun 10 23:01:43 right Jun 10 23:01:43 yea Jun 10 23:01:58 using KP 49 right now Jun 10 23:02:12 only gotcha is, Gentoo needs it built with GCC 4.5 Jun 10 23:02:17 I wonder if anyone knows here how to close the virtual keyboard in Qt or even GLIB works Jun 10 23:02:24 to build kernel modules against it Jun 10 23:02:35 luke-jr, why not GCC 4.6.2 like in Maemo? Jun 10 23:02:42 Estel_: it's not in Gentoo stable yet Jun 10 23:02:55 I see Jun 10 23:03:27 when it gets promoted to Gentoo/ARM stable, it'll automatically work for N900 pretty much Jun 10 23:03:48 damn, why microB text fields doesn't have right-click context menu Jun 10 23:03:49 (also, Gentoo is hardfp - not sure if that will affect kernel module linking or not) Jun 10 23:04:10 I can right click on address bar and got nice context menu... Jun 10 23:04:20 but on pages, it works onlhy for non-text Jun 10 23:04:27 >_< Jun 10 23:04:33 and text context menu is where lazarus form recovery live :( Jun 10 23:04:40 luke-jr, no idea Jun 10 23:04:49 and what about thumb? Jun 10 23:05:11 last I heard, N900's CPU is broken for thumb? Jun 10 23:05:12 thumb2, precisely Jun 10 23:05:26 last You've said that, I fixed You already :P Jun 10 23:05:35 freemangordon fixed it. Jun 10 23:05:39 yeah, but CPUs don't fix themselves usually :p Jun 10 23:05:50 aaah, not again Jun 10 23:05:54 freemangordon is like chuck norris Jun 10 23:05:57 O.o Jun 10 23:06:01 so it wasn't really broken? Jun 10 23:06:05 he fixed every N900? cpu in universe Jun 10 23:06:07 it was Jun 10 23:06:08 ;) Jun 10 23:06:13 seriously though Jun 10 23:06:19 the errata is for real Jun 10 23:06:24 he found proper way to include errata fix Jun 10 23:06:31 hmm Jun 10 23:06:38 mhm Jun 10 23:06:42 hmpf Jun 10 23:07:32 luke-jr, use the force. It makes - thumb, not force - Your executables smaller in ram Jun 10 23:07:39 consider that for gentoo in N900 Jun 10 23:07:43 yes, that would be handy :P Jun 10 23:08:27 luke-jr: you can see thumb2 errata fix in action here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRUlJ2GXI04 Jun 10 23:08:51 (Ubuntu 12.04 is thumb2 hardfp) Jun 10 23:10:00 nice Jun 10 23:12:22 now most important question Jun 10 23:12:54 any benefits from using Geento thumb2 hardfp over Ubuntu 12.04 with LXDE - or, other way around? Jun 10 23:13:31 ...except for fact, that ubuntu was documented from very beginning, and, as a result, dozen of people are working on it, instead 1 person? :P Jun 10 23:13:44 (while it was also started by 1 person) Jun 10 23:14:50 no spell checker and no lazarus for microB, due to lack of right-clickable text fields :( No orgasm here Jun 10 23:21:47 Estel_, why not ubuntu-minimal then install lxde? Jun 10 23:22:02 ubuntu-desktop seems to pull in a crapload of extra stuff Jun 10 23:22:17 sounds reasonable. I'm newbie in all those things, so I rely on documentation Jun 10 23:22:32 those things = desktop OS'es on N900 without chroot Jun 10 23:22:58 what interest me is performance, hardware compatibility etc Jun 10 23:23:15 I don't even know why ubuntu, instead of minimal debian, for example Jun 10 23:23:25 or archlinux or whatever Jun 10 23:23:55 archlinux probably because got less packages etc, but why ubuntu with it's unity "glory", instead of good old debian? Jun 10 23:24:36 archlinux-arm works on n900 Jun 10 23:24:37 Estel_, arch would be nice too, packaging any new packages is definitely not a problem ;) Jun 10 23:24:48 if it works - quite good - on 16 MB RAM 200 mhz CPU router wrt54gl, it should in our case too ;) Jun 10 23:25:09 FIQ|n900, yea, heard that Jun 10 23:25:24 although I'm loss in all those hardware/kernel compatibility Jun 10 23:25:29 Estel_, i'm pretty sure you're referring to embedded distros Jun 10 23:25:41 i'd be hard pressed to build a full glibc userland in 16mb Jun 10 23:25:59 Hurrian, no, base debian (without desktop enviroment) works on wrt54gl Jun 10 23:26:06 hm Jun 10 23:26:08 maybe Jun 10 23:26:26 np idea honestly, as it's art for at itself, so I'm using openwrt there :P Jun 10 23:27:03 still, why ubuntu on N900, not debian? Jun 10 23:27:05 * Hurrian starts building chroot for rt-n16 Jun 10 23:27:12 :) Jun 10 23:27:14 Estel_, no idea Jun 10 23:27:30 and why specifically Ubuntu 12.04? Jun 10 23:27:36 same here Jun 10 23:28:33 cd device/nokia/n900 Jun 10 23:28:39 whoops, wrong window Jun 10 23:28:57 any CSS guru here? Jun 10 23:29:07 here. Jun 10 23:29:12 Estel_: the same reasons to use Gentoo over Ubuntu normally? :p Jun 10 23:29:29 freemangordon, need help with your new site? Jun 10 23:29:47 adblockplus changed behaviour to show "block" tab only when hovered over the element in v1.1 Jun 10 23:29:57 Estel_: such as being able to build everything customized to the hardware Jun 10 23:29:57 luke-jr, maybe, but ubuntu is using some special 2.6.37 version of kernel Jun 10 23:30:08 Estel_: no reason we can't use it with Gentoo :p Jun 10 23:30:19 2.6.37 is pretty old already tho Jun 10 23:30:21 freemangordon, I just disable that function, even on desktop abp Jun 10 23:30:22 freemangordon, what it's about this 2.6.37 so special? Jun 10 23:30:31 Hurrian: want to revert that Jun 10 23:30:46 lemme look into it. Jun 10 23:30:54 Hurrian: how? I want "block" button always visible Jun 10 23:30:55 any idea where the code may be? Jun 10 23:30:59 yep Jun 10 23:31:26 seems like objtabs.css Jun 10 23:31:54 Hurrian: if you gonna look at it, then look version 1.3.10 Jun 10 23:32:04 that is the last version supporting microb Jun 10 23:32:07 freemangordon, something like hidebutton:hover{ opacity = 1.0 }; Jun 10 23:32:16 let me check Jun 10 23:32:45 a.%%CLASSNAME%%:hover { Jun 10 23:32:45 opacity: 0.8 !important; Jun 10 23:32:45 } Jun 10 23:32:53 that is working version Jun 10 23:33:24 move it to a.%%CLASSNAME%%{opacity: 0.8 !important;} Jun 10 23:33:41 that way, you disable need to hover over it Jun 10 23:33:43 ok, let me try Jun 10 23:34:46 so what's up, hackers? Jun 10 23:38:54 freemangordon, be sure to release Your work if it works Jun 10 23:39:01 addblockplus is actually in repos Jun 10 23:50:31 well, noscript, actually, works, it's blocking scripts... Althouh, it's information tabs and config buttons are nowhere to be found, so no way for allowing temporaly Jun 10 23:50:37 (in microB) Jun 10 23:51:03 pity that lazarus for recovery and spell checking doesn't work, - I've had high hopes for that Jun 10 23:55:42 Is there a way to copy an event in calendar? Jun 11 00:39:23 LaoLang_cool: wouldn't know of any trivial method Jun 11 00:40:02 DocScrutinizer05, ok... Jun 11 00:44:43 pity that lazarus for recovery and spell checking doesn't work, - I've had high hopes for that I've 58 MB free on rootfs... Jun 11 00:45:09 And I wonder wht could I move *to* rootfs, for sake of increasing performance Jun 11 00:45:48 any ideas what sits in opt usually, and would benefit from NAND speeds? (i.e. isn't executable, that sits in RAM anyway) Jun 11 00:46:13 Estel_, xorg? Jun 11 00:46:26 isn't there already? Jun 11 00:47:11 btw, xorg sits in RAM anyway, yep? Jun 11 00:47:23 yeah Jun 11 00:47:39 hmm, something slow, that gets unloaded a lot Jun 11 00:47:44 the settings app? Jun 11 00:47:56 sounds reasonable Jun 11 00:48:05 now must locate, where it live ;) Jun 11 00:48:34 no core system components, I suppose... Jun 11 00:48:48 maybe something from easy debian? :P Jun 11 00:49:06 dpkg -L (name of settings app) Jun 11 00:49:15 * Estel_ nods Jun 11 00:49:29 also, Estel_, have you seen the new overclocking and kernel-power pages? Jun 11 00:49:37 now need to determine name of settings app Jun 11 00:49:44 overlocking yes, kp not yet Jun 11 00:49:50 will check with pleasure Jun 11 00:50:03 Is there a way to export only one event? Jun 11 00:54:01 Hurrian, You were the one who wasn't able to get high speeds of chromium in easy debian? Jun 11 00:54:37 Estel_, it wasn't me Jun 11 00:54:44 I don't use chromium in the first place Jun 11 00:54:51 * Estel_ nods Jun 11 00:58:13 freemangordon, are you still here? Jun 11 00:58:40 * Hurrian is curious as to why Maemo on MMC won't work with power management enabled Jun 11 01:01:42 wow at last Jun 11 01:02:01 I could finally code to close the virtual keyboard Jun 11 01:02:12 when you press enter on it Jun 11 01:02:16 that was HARD Jun 11 01:02:22 it took me a whole day! Jun 11 01:12:16 :) Jun 11 01:12:50 hm, strange - chromium is actualy faster, when run from within lxde, that Maemo (both easy debian one) Jun 11 01:13:19 not to mention, that context menu works even in fullscreen, when run from lxde Jun 11 01:13:54 the latter was known fact - as for first, I always though it's placebo, as it seemed to me, that running without middle-man will be faster Jun 11 01:14:17 although, apprently, it isn't - from within lxde it' really blazing fast Jun 11 01:23:15 Estel_: http://wiki.maemo.org/Gentoo/N900 Jun 11 01:23:49 Estel_: re LXDE vs Maemo Chromium speed: I bet it's the swap Jun 11 01:23:58 Estel_: Maemo uses a LOT of memory, even compared to KDE Jun 11 01:29:30 luke-jr: maemo? I'd say dialer and browserd and whatnot are using a lot of RAM, due to preload and lock against swapout Jun 11 01:30:21 DocScrutinizer05: part of Maemo Jun 11 01:30:48 A phone without dialer locked in RAM... Jun 11 01:31:25 SpeedEvil, "internet tablet" Jun 11 01:31:36 pretty big oversight by nokia though Jun 11 01:32:20 Hurrian: ?? what is an oversight? Jun 11 01:34:19 DocScrutinizer, not locking the phone app in RAM Jun 11 01:34:36 damn, it IS Jun 11 01:35:17 31820 rtcom-call-ui Jun 11 01:35:21 oh, I guess it is Jun 11 01:36:15 (the architechure requiring the CPU to be involved in calls, and other things are questionable too, of course Jun 11 01:37:27 you'll always need CPU involved into handling call establishing Jun 11 01:37:42 Sure. Jun 11 01:38:04 But audio processing in a call, is arguable. Jun 11 01:38:11 Argh. Jun 11 01:38:22 * SpeedEvil hates random sones from one of the 8 gadgets. Jun 11 01:38:24 indeed Jun 11 01:38:26 sounds Jun 11 01:38:51 the AP-centric audio concept is highly questionable Jun 11 01:38:52 you need something to decompress it Jun 11 01:39:08 jacekowski: the phone CPU does not do decompression. Jun 11 01:39:25 It basically just hands off audio packets to the phone Jun 11 01:39:27 well, how else would you then change destination of audio Jun 11 01:39:44 it's nice thing to have all go into one chip Jun 11 01:39:48 and then go out of it Jun 11 01:40:02 except it should have been done in alsa directly Jun 11 01:40:09 without pulsecrap Jun 11 01:40:32 if the one chip was the mixer, I'd agree Jun 11 01:42:08 on n900, you have to send phone calls at least 4 different ways, BT, headphones, earpiece and main speakers Jun 11 01:42:13 + possibly FMTX Jun 11 01:42:41 well, that's what mixer/codec is for Jun 11 01:43:10 thing is, you have AP that can do the job Jun 11 01:43:20 usually no need to pipe it thru CPU Jun 11 01:43:21 and without PA it could do it easily Jun 11 01:43:24 even at highest load Jun 11 01:43:45 so there is no point in adding additional electronics if you have everything you need Jun 11 01:44:21 it's more of an implementaion problem than design Jun 11 01:44:26 you already have a mixer/codec Jun 11 01:44:36 very limited one Jun 11 01:45:09 anyways Jun 11 01:45:11 i'm going to sleep Jun 11 01:45:14 good night **** ENDING LOGGING AT Mon Jun 11 02:59:58 2012
