**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri Sep 07 02:59:59 2012 Sep 07 05:11:33 LOL Sep 07 05:11:39 http://www.foxnews.com/tech/2012/09/06/nokia-admits-faking-video-for-new-lumia-smartphone/?intcmp=obinsite Sep 07 05:11:45 AWESOME JOB NOKIA! Sep 07 05:17:16 indeed lol. when i saw RST38h mention it hours ago, i just remembered a convo that was here where it was said Elop has a clear goal and knows how to execute it Sep 07 05:17:22 :-/ Sep 07 05:17:48 one thing for sure, this will haunt Nokia for a long time Sep 07 05:18:32 yeah heh Sep 07 05:18:38 that's crazy Sep 07 05:19:02 not to mention the people who filmed the video.. i mean cmon.. camera man caught in a frame? that's just fail Sep 07 05:20:58 disappointing. the 920 seems to be a fine device though. too bad they have cursed it now Sep 07 05:23:03 then again, wasn't it Elop that blamed marketting/sales for Nokia's problems? i guess the poor guys were trying to please him Sep 07 05:35:35 hahaha Sep 07 05:35:57 i don't understand how blunder after blunder this guy is still in charge of nokia Sep 07 05:36:19 since he has become ceo nokia has had to have lost like 90% of its value :) Sep 07 05:40:59 maybe Nokia should have pushed to be exclusive hardware manufacturer for WPx Sep 07 05:43:28 that said, has anyone successfully booted something else on the current Lumias? Sep 07 08:26:44 DocScrutinizer05: As you'll have noticed, the article was edited by GeneralAntilles. FWIW, I don't think "downtrodden" or "stalwart" are words to necessarily avoid. Sep 07 10:09:22 sorry for being a bother but I'm unable to connect to a TTLS PAP wifi network on my N900 Sep 07 10:09:50 I have, AFAIK, PR1.3 and wlantool has the PAP enabling option checked when I run it Sep 07 10:10:07 Sicelo: I don't think so :< Sep 07 10:10:23 Don't think MS would dig that either :< Sep 07 10:10:57 could someone give me a hint about whether I need to mess around with the configuration editor so it actually notices everything is PAP (as it is, all strings in that wifi key are MSCHAPv2 Sep 07 10:12:00 I successfully use MSCHAPv2 on my n900 Sep 07 10:12:13 no special magic in the configuration Sep 07 10:12:23 tadzik: the problem is I need to use PAP, not MSCHAPv2 Sep 07 10:12:28 ah Sep 07 10:13:55 the wlantool application says that PAP is enabled, the network configuration tool lets me choose PAP... but it still doesn't seem to work :) Sep 07 10:13:58 (yay) Sep 07 10:19:17 Jaffa: surely not, it might finaly bring some life to my technical english Sep 07 10:27:19 DocScrutinizer05: is there a way to remove the tasknav animations? Sep 07 10:27:38 ??? Sep 07 10:28:18 DocScrutinizer05: open a window and close it in the tasknav Sep 07 10:28:32 you get a tiny animation before the tasknav closes due to lack of windows Sep 07 10:28:35 i want to remove that Sep 07 10:28:36 transitions.ini? Sep 07 10:28:37 DocScrutinizer05: :) Sep 07 10:29:03 DocScrutinizer05: I was listening to a programme on Radio 4 last night, where they were talking about how "Just a Minute" had really helped people's proper use of English grammar in India. Sep 07 10:29:27 DocScrutinizer05: there's nothing related to that, i think Sep 07 10:30:32 kerio: then you're back to the sourcecode Sep 07 10:30:37 D: Sep 07 10:31:22 meh, i'm restoring this Sep 07 10:31:28 ooh, maybe i have to reboot Sep 07 10:31:43 restart HD Sep 07 10:31:49 iirc Sep 07 10:31:55 i'm not that leete Sep 07 10:33:40 Jaffa: they tought indians not to use proper pidgin anymore? :-o Sep 07 10:33:41 ok, sorted out my PAP problem. It seems that PAP requires a network username (usually anonymous@somewhere) but it has to be entered in the Advanced options area as "manual user" or something like that (I'm running the Spanish locale) Sep 07 10:34:16 sorry for wasting your time. Have fun :) Sep 07 10:35:28 we're on IRC. We're wasting time by definition Sep 07 10:37:05 Jaffa: you know the saying about pidgin: an Indian, a Chinese, a native speaker from America, a Brit, and a few ather Nations have a technical meeting. In the end all managed to transport their point, except the native speaker American who used "eloquent" american words which nobody understood Sep 07 10:37:32 other* Sep 07 10:39:02 DocScrutinizer05: :) Sep 07 10:39:06 DocScrutinizer05: yay, i has no animations anymore :D Sep 07 10:39:22 ...and now it's kinda hard to figure out which window you came from if you have two similar ones Sep 07 10:41:16 hi there.could somebody tell me which toolchain am I able to use to crosscompile for maemo? Sep 07 10:41:25 zsolt: scratchbox, usually Sep 07 10:41:32 2007 and 2009 toolchain is outdated Sep 07 10:41:50 willing to use scratchbox2 Sep 07 10:42:11 what about arm-linux-gnueabi? Sep 07 10:43:26 I simply followed instructions on wiki Sep 07 10:44:26 afaik the SB version used for fremantle is kinda obsolete and kept in a semi-zombie state by Nokia just for the sake to not switch to newer version Sep 07 10:46:16 well,is it possible to use gnu toolchain?if so,which one?arm-linux-gnueabi or arm-none-linux-gnueabi Sep 07 10:46:19 (tbh I followed an instruction on some opensuse wiki page about how to install fremantle SDK) Sep 07 10:48:46 zsolt: usually you mustn't change toolchain(-version) for a deployed project. Lately fremangordon and friends did a lot of work to get a newer better compiler ready for compiling anything at all for fremantle Sep 07 10:50:25 in general it's not guaranteed that binaries built on newer toolchain will play nice with libs and kernel built on old original toolchain Sep 07 10:51:08 though in theory it should work, you see a lot of "oops, we didn't anticipate that" in practice Sep 07 10:51:23 but what happens if i use gnu toolchain? Sep 07 10:52:47 i think that no all new functions are implemented in the older versions,that's why got everytime make errors Sep 07 10:56:53 or could you give me link for the fremangordon toolchain? Sep 07 10:57:58 it's only a new compiler version Sep 07 10:58:10 won't probably help for make errors Sep 07 11:01:10 anyway,which one is for maemo?arm-linux-gnueabi or arm-linux-noneabi? Sep 07 11:06:01 well, I can say that I never heard of arm-linux-noneabi Sep 07 11:06:31 while gnueabi been a frequently used word here Sep 07 11:07:44 (I hope I'm not mixing that with stuff from other related channels like #meego etc) Sep 07 11:08:20 so,which one should i use for n900? Sep 07 11:08:42 *sigh* - of course the one I never heard from ;-P Sep 07 11:09:00 arm-none-linux-gnueabi Sep 07 11:09:18 i misstyped before Sep 07 11:09:40 sorry, then I dunno Sep 07 11:09:42 You could possibly ask "gcc -dumpmachine" about the proper triplet on the official scratchbox. Sep 07 11:12:28 thank you Sep 07 12:38:47 aw, zsolt left Sep 07 12:38:55 anyway, gcc -dumpmachine gives me arm-linux-gnueabi on my n900 Sep 07 13:42:22 Hi Sep 07 13:49:35 (it seems) recent marble update on cssu-t gave me broken app: route planner has black-on-black text, also several other screens/menus seem affected Sep 07 13:51:01 (you can highlight text by blindly touch&drag on locations where you suspect text might be) Sep 07 13:51:32 (or press hw-kbd ctrl-a) Sep 07 13:52:28 I seem to recall we had that friggin bug some 2 years ago. Thought it got squashed Sep 07 13:52:42 I vaguely remember that was an old busybox-power bug because of tmp not getting mounted and some grapchis couldn't be loaded Sep 07 13:53:03 nah, something about Qt iirc Sep 07 13:53:20 DocScrutinizer05: atleast we both remember that bug ;) Sep 07 13:53:38 yep, though my memory has nothing about busybox Sep 07 13:54:47 Brb, getting a jump on the next train Sep 07 13:57:19 curse this Friday. Marble fsckup. HPLIP rolled 3.12.9 which during update spins busy loop doing get_dents() across all my PATH entries and never terminates, but of course leaves printer support broken after killing the runaway process Sep 07 13:57:32 AFK for chilling :-/ Sep 07 14:17:11 DocScrutinizer05: some people don't respect read-only friday Sep 07 14:47:23 hey, anyone here familiar w/ Qt? :) Sep 07 14:47:33 a lot of people Sep 07 14:47:43 though #maemo-dev may be better channel Sep 07 14:48:25 i'm trying to figure out if there's any valid reason for someone to name a method "relase(...)" Sep 07 14:48:34 instead of the more logical "release(...)" Sep 07 14:48:50 a quick check of qobject shows that it didn't reserve "release(...)" Sep 07 14:48:54 probably a tyop Sep 07 14:48:59 tadzik: that's my bet Sep 07 14:49:09 (i'm using a script that identifies such items) Sep 07 14:58:20 grr Sep 07 14:58:23 * timeless hates github Sep 07 14:58:29 i think i submitted a pull request to myself Sep 07 14:58:36 anyone here happen to use github? :) Sep 07 15:03:12 yes Sep 07 15:03:59 what do you need? Sep 07 15:04:21 timeless: well you better accept the request :D Sep 07 15:04:35 kerio: i'd rather delete it, but i can't figure out how to do that Sep 07 15:04:47 i was able to close it, but it's still pretty embarrassing... Sep 07 15:05:50 it isn't, who'd care ;) Sep 07 15:16:52 * timeless chuckles Sep 07 15:17:03 the previous project i looked at was british (behaviour) Sep 07 15:17:13 this project is confused (behavior, Behavior, behaviour) Sep 07 15:17:55 3 for british, 2 for each american (although that's a function name) Sep 07 15:18:13 (well, the uppercase is a function name) Sep 07 15:18:14 Confuzzled behaviour, eh? Sep 07 15:20:21 ayup Sep 07 15:21:08 I'm disappointed mixing zz and ou didn't cause any exploding people Sep 07 15:23:18 those won't aswer ;-) Sep 07 15:23:30 answer even Sep 07 15:24:03 oops Sep 07 15:24:06 * timeless finds a bug in script Sep 07 15:24:22 language splitter does a fairly good job of splitting words Sep 07 15:24:30 but for some reason "BOOL)animated" isn't split into two words :( Sep 07 15:24:40 oh, no, that's more or less intentional Sep 07 15:24:46 for annoying things like (A)ccept Sep 07 15:39:36 yay! Sep 07 15:58:28 ok, Sep 07 15:58:34 what is an expecation? Sep 07 15:58:52 hahaha Sep 07 15:59:13 an exception, maybe? Sep 07 15:59:15 or an expectation? Sep 07 15:59:19 exception, expectation, escapade? Sep 07 16:00:56 https://github.com/apache/incubator-cordova-ios/blob/master/bin/templates/project/www/spec/lib/jasmine-1.2.0/jasmine.js Sep 07 16:01:06 it appears at least 3 times in that file Sep 07 16:01:17 the repo seems to have another similar word somewhere else Sep 07 16:01:40 oh, right, some are plurals and some aren't Sep 07 16:01:44 so just that one file Sep 07 16:02:02 my initial guess was ShadowJK 's #2 Sep 07 16:02:07 but i think kerio was right Sep 07 16:07:23 ooh! Sep 07 16:07:25 Gravitional Sep 07 16:10:29 gravyred Sep 07 16:18:38 ~spell expecation Sep 07 16:18:40 possible spellings for expecation: expectation expurgation explication execution expiation expedition expiration exaction expecting Sep 07 16:19:29 timeless: the code of ibot's spell is public Sep 07 16:19:38 if that helps ;-) Sep 07 16:19:56 yeah yeah Sep 07 16:20:03 the thing is, i have ms word too Sep 07 16:20:08 but humans will give me a shorter list Sep 07 16:20:18 kerio: gave me exactly one answer (the right one) Sep 07 16:20:31 ShadowJK: gave me 3, one was the wrong one i picked, one was right, and one was amusing Sep 07 16:20:50 infobot otoh, didn't have the right answer :) Sep 07 16:20:54 yay, n900 fixing time Sep 07 16:23:35 hello, does anyone know if there is any guide to replace maemo with ubuntu on n900? Sep 07 16:24:06 I saw one, didn't work for me :) Sep 07 16:24:10 I think it's on the wiki somewhere Sep 07 16:24:17 ubuntu wiki, actually Sep 07 16:24:24 tadzik replace? not dual boot? Sep 07 16:24:32 oh, I don't know Sep 07 16:24:37 I know about https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/n900 Sep 07 16:24:39 because I have only found tutorials for dual booting Sep 07 16:24:55 ...why would you do that? :) Sep 07 16:26:10 tadzik I don't use it as phone anymore, I would like try to install ubuntu with lxde on it and have external monitor with tv-out and use touchscreen as mouse Sep 07 16:26:28 tvout? Sep 07 16:26:31 oh god Sep 07 16:26:41 kerio ? Sep 07 16:26:57 what problem with tv-out? Sep 07 16:27:43 it's a fuzzy 640x480 at best Sep 07 16:27:53 offcourse it has really low resolution, but I would connect into really small display so does not matter that much Sep 07 16:28:04 but of course bigger screen that n900 own Sep 07 16:28:46 well n900 does not have hdmi or vga output Sep 07 16:28:59 so there nothing else than tv-out Sep 07 16:30:31 usb vga adapter ;-P Sep 07 16:30:47 DocScrutinizer05: does usb have enough bandwidth to push 1024x768? Sep 07 16:30:56 also WHY DIGITAL D: Sep 07 16:30:58 er Sep 07 16:30:59 WHY ANALOG Sep 07 16:31:05 depends on protocol you run there Sep 07 16:31:15 uncompressed? Sep 07 16:31:35 hm, 135MB/s Sep 07 16:31:48 it fits in usb 2.0, right? Sep 07 16:32:37 no way Sep 07 16:32:51 usb2.0 max 400 Mb Sep 07 16:33:31 but there is also that 7" monitor with rca input does not cost much Sep 07 16:34:10 but you don't want to push raw digitized video data thru USB. At 'worst' you do "raw mem writes" to the frame buffer in adapter Sep 07 16:35:18 it would still suck for big changes, right? Sep 07 16:35:51 the n900 needed an expresscard expansion port Sep 07 16:35:52 >:D Sep 07 16:40:55 tadzik: my n900's sim holder thingy has started being flaky Sep 07 16:40:58 what's wrong w/ yours? Sep 07 16:41:05 timeless: flex cable Sep 07 16:41:11 ? Sep 07 16:41:17 I just found screws for which I need a more precise screwdriver :F Sep 07 16:41:35 timeless: http://i.imgur.com/8xw67.jpg Sep 07 16:41:43 it looks as if someone bit it Sep 07 16:41:45 i have a towel holder in my bathroom for which i need a more precise screwdriver :( Sep 07 16:42:06 ouch Sep 07 16:42:11 timeless: what the fuck Sep 07 16:42:15 a *towel holder*? Sep 07 16:42:31 kerio: lemme see if i can find a picture of a similar item Sep 07 16:42:39 i know what it is Sep 07 16:42:48 i just can't figure out why you'd need a precision screwdriver Sep 07 16:44:04 it's a regular screw, but incredibly tiny, i think i need jeweler's regular screw driver for it Sep 07 16:45:28 wtf Sep 07 16:45:31 pics pls Sep 07 16:45:34 it's something like http://prod.towel-hooks.com/images/berenson/Large/BER2110US10B.jpg Sep 07 16:45:55 just hammer it in Sep 07 16:46:00 but the hook part basically has an incredibly stupid anchor point Sep 07 16:46:50 closer to http://bestbathroomtips.com/bathroom-towel-hooks-design-pictures/robe-hooks-pics/ Sep 07 16:47:01 see the glint at the bottom of that one? Sep 07 16:47:02 heh, I'll just get the piece alone and go to the store with it Sep 07 16:47:15 there's basically a screw there Sep 07 16:47:30 if it's that small of a screw, it's hammerable :) Sep 07 16:47:40 it hangs from a thing say 1/2 up from center Sep 07 16:47:50 and the screw catches it to prevent it from coming off the wall Sep 07 16:47:52 but... Sep 07 16:48:08 you have to really get the screw in, otherwise it can basically lift off from the top Sep 07 16:48:16 which is what happens if you pull on it/the towel on it Sep 07 16:48:26 resulting in potentially hurt feet/unhappy floor Sep 07 16:51:38 * timeless sighs Sep 07 16:51:47 http://www.5min.com/Video/How-to-Install-Towel-Hooks-62644314 is totally unhelpful Sep 07 16:52:02 ok, i give up Sep 07 16:52:09 * timeless goes back to people who can't spell Sep 07 16:54:00 timeless; is "sim holder flaky" diagnosis based on crossed out sim icon in UI? Sep 07 16:54:10 more or less yes Sep 07 16:54:29 there's sometimes an info banner to go along w/ it Sep 07 16:54:45 sometimes it comes back on its own, sometimes i give up and pull the battery and jiggle it Sep 07 16:54:54 do you have a better diagnosis for me? Sep 07 16:54:56 * timeless is all ears Sep 07 16:55:21 timeless; well no, it's just not related to sim holder Sep 07 16:55:40 It progresses to not working at all, not even for emergency calls sim-less. Sep 07 16:56:03 Upper bound on N900 life, I think. Sep 07 16:56:07 "Son, your phone is dying" Sep 07 16:56:18 I've had 2 N900 die that way. Sep 07 16:56:42 Second degraded in 2 weeks, first took 2 months from first signs until unusability. Sep 07 16:57:05 fwiw, Conversations has some issues Sep 07 16:57:15 1. i have 3 or so google talk accounts Sep 07 16:57:22 it claims that one of them is talking to a certain person Sep 07 16:57:29 when in fact, a different one is talking to that person Sep 07 16:57:42 Both would reliably crash cellmodem (cat /proc/kmsg) when I pinched phone around ghjk on keyboard Sep 07 16:57:48 2. it thinks that some sms's were never delivered, which means i'm stuck w/ a permanent stupid error message Sep 07 16:58:59 3. conversations likes to experience temporary amnesia for interactions w/ that conact Sep 07 16:59:02 which is unfortunate, since that contact is ... "important" Sep 07 16:59:18 hrm, better make those quotes asterisks :) Sep 07 17:00:55 It's fun when operators manage to pass smss in one direction, but ack in other direction doesn't arrive, and operator message centre retried regulary for 2 weeks Sep 07 17:01:07 recipient gets a copy every half hour :) Sep 07 17:02:22 ouch Sep 07 17:02:27 yeah, i'm basically not getting acks Sep 07 17:02:36 i'm pretty sure they're partially arriving Sep 07 17:02:47 since the recipient isn't being flooded Sep 07 17:03:03 but i can't tell if the recipient got the message, so i manually flood Sep 07 17:13:05 anyone here familiar w/ .pbxproj ? Sep 07 17:13:16 nm Sep 07 17:16:55 well there are two kinds of acks afaik, the ones operators use, and then the ones that get generated on delivery to recipient's handset Sep 07 17:17:14 the second one disappearing doesn't cause retransmits Sep 07 17:18:08 it's basically a plain sms that gets parsed by the phone and interpreted as delivery confirmation Sep 07 17:18:28 how would you spell Paul-Lee-Phil ? Sep 07 17:18:44 uh? Sep 07 17:18:48 it's a js term Sep 07 17:18:54 but i don't want to bias you to a spelling Sep 07 17:19:01 so i intentionally didn't use many correct letters Sep 07 17:19:40 I thought you were trying to spell a Chinese-Korean name Sep 07 17:19:55 ah, sorry Sep 07 17:20:35 Paul Lee Phil? polepile? what D: Sep 07 17:21:01 ShadowJK: as a hint, `ph` is often written as `f` Sep 07 17:21:16 and some chinese write `lee` as `li` Sep 07 17:21:27 although it can also be written in other ways... Sep 07 17:21:40 perl file? Sep 07 17:21:47 say the words faster together Sep 07 17:21:53 and keep in mind the context is javascript Sep 07 17:22:07 polyfile? Sep 07 17:22:49 close but, Phil is a short "i" and File is a long "i" Sep 07 17:24:04 did I mention I don't know js? Sep 07 17:24:32 that'd hurt here :( Sep 07 17:24:40 i'm not sure of the correct spelling fwiw Sep 07 17:25:05 polyphilic? Sep 07 17:25:13 the concept is basically "taking an object and using rough polymorphism to add ["fill"] missing properties / methods" Sep 07 17:25:24 the problem is consider "full of success" Sep 07 17:25:31 is it "successfull" or "successful" ? Sep 07 17:26:05 full of win Sep 07 17:27:03 https://github.com/jsoref/incubator-cordova-ios/blob/master/CordovaLib/Classes/CDVReachability.h#L4 Sep 07 17:27:13 check out the word before APIs on that line :) Sep 07 17:27:18 I think you should ask the ministry of english composition Sep 07 17:27:22 he's german Sep 07 17:27:27 heh Sep 07 17:27:49 could you please share the drugs you took? Sep 07 17:28:23 guly: who? which? why? Sep 07 17:28:54 i'd like to try, seems impressive Sep 07 17:29:11 guly; i think you'll find you already did Sep 07 17:29:58 that's how good they are Sep 07 17:34:39 * timeless wtf Sep 07 17:35:33 check out the word before mediaId on https://github.com/jsoref/incubator-cordova-ios/blob/master/CordovaLib/Classes/CDVSound.m#L593 Sep 07 17:35:44 any idea what they are trying to do there? :) Sep 07 17:39:11 hungarian postfix notation Sep 07 17:39:13 it's a short status Sep 07 17:39:33 :) Sep 07 18:38:48 i dont have .themes and .icons folder in my home directory ... which application creates these? Sep 07 18:39:11 actually i have an app (blessn900) which is silently failing ... i strace'd it to find out that it is looking for these files and then failing Sep 07 18:47:28 can someone who speaks git please hold my hand? Sep 07 19:29:14 how expensive is a wifi connection with powersaving and no data transfers? Sep 07 19:32:19 a bit expensive.. i would disconnect Sep 07 19:39:41 If no datatransfer: hard to tell difference Sep 07 19:40:13 But "no datatransfer" is a bit difficult, or not, depending on router. Sep 07 19:41:00 My WRT54GL + Tomato is very agressive in what it decides to filter out for powersaving clients. All the windows chatter that flies across the LAN it leaves out, and sometimes it leaves out ARP too, which sometimes creates a bit of connectivity issues :-) Sep 07 19:42:00 My old AP didn't filter anything, everything on LAN broadcast was passed on over wifi too, and when there was 3 windows machines active, the power consumption was significant enough to be noticeable. Sep 07 19:46:04 hm, 10mA Sep 07 19:46:08 that's not too bad, is it Sep 07 19:46:11 (idle everything) Sep 07 19:46:40 thankfully i only have a windows machine and it's not on at the moment :) Sep 07 20:43:11 So that's double my "completely idle" test, in complete offline mode Sep 07 20:43:16 not bad Sep 07 20:46:01 :D Sep 07 20:54:47 still moving all my stuff off google Sep 07 20:54:58 ugh what a pain. i never realized how many things are associated with my gmail acct Sep 07 21:04:46 meh, I have a shiny, new flex cable, and no screwdriver to assemble it :| Sep 07 21:18:26 wow, square-it builds and runs on n900, first time! Sep 07 21:18:36 not without issue tho...it is rotated the wrong way Sep 07 21:18:48 hmm, how does n900 handle rotation Sep 07 21:26:12 oo, it works, just need to _not_ set it to portrait Sep 08 00:25:14 anyone related to kernel-power in here? Sep 08 00:32:05 or someone with some knowledge of smartreflex, iva and voltage domains :) Sep 08 01:03:58 I don't know much beyond it can be unstable on some devices Sep 08 01:14:26 my problems are not with kernel-power, but with a custom kernel. Enabling sr on iva causes panic. Sep 08 01:15:13 i think i'm going to film a movie with my N900 and say i did it with the Lumia 900 Sep 08 01:29:32 Skry: sorry, that's fuzzy. KP *is* a custom kernel. What do you mean? Sep 08 01:29:55 and what's "iva" Sep 08 01:31:31 smart reflex is unstable on some devices due to hw issues. Sep 08 01:31:38 yes Sep 08 01:31:41 not really fixable Sep 08 01:36:09 SpeedEvil: do you recall what's been the catch with Qt(-linedit(4.7.4)) and the "black-on-black text" issue? Sep 08 01:36:21 *very* old stuff Sep 08 01:36:31 Hi, is there an app for sms counter? There is a smscounter already, but it counts sms via the sms database, so it's not useful if I have deleted sms, I want to monitor how many sms I have sent on n900 one month Sep 08 01:36:46 DocScrutinizer05: nope Sep 08 01:39:46 quick question - is there any way to improve the screen resolution when plugging a n900 into an external TV screen ? Sep 08 01:40:15 no Sep 08 01:40:34 I guessed that :) thanks DocScrutinizer05 Sep 08 01:40:59 at least that's what I guess Sep 08 01:41:39 yea - it's not as though that output is going through a seperate video controller Sep 08 01:41:52 but I thought I'd ask anyway ;) Sep 08 01:41:55 better than PAL won't be available unless you accept non-standard CVBS signals which in turn won't fly with any TV Sep 08 01:42:40 PAL == 512 lines Sep 08 01:42:51 Ewww.... grainy Sep 08 01:43:41 it's of marginal interest anyway cos you still haveto use the touchscreen controls to actually do anything Sep 08 01:43:47 iirc the N900 display has 800*480lines Sep 08 01:44:20 DocScrutinizer05: linux-omap 3.6-rc4. IVA == MPU or DSP if you like. Just wondering if SR has ever worked with dsp or if this is regression. Sorry for being fuzzy, it's 04:45 and I'm somewhat tired. Sep 08 01:44:34 I have to wear my glasses to rad the n900 screen and I thought using the TV might alleviate that - but no... Sep 08 01:46:12 jpinx: AV output is of abysmal quality anyway. Anything better than PAL wouldn't pass the whole HW, even if possible Sep 08 01:46:57 DocScrutinizer05: yea - I get it ;) Sep 08 01:47:24 I mean, it gets lost in cable Sep 08 01:49:10 though technically I assume PAL on N900 is 800*512 (on 100% zoom), it definitley isn't better than maybe 500*512, due to "low-pass filter" formed by cable, plugs, etc Sep 08 01:50:24 red areas even worse, they bleed out like mad, so I can't read red text of "standard size" Sep 08 01:51:06 e.g. in xchat's chan tabs Sep 08 01:51:37 no improvement in resolution can fix that Sep 08 01:52:33 yea - too much loss in cabling etc Sep 08 01:53:10 Skry: DSP seems to be more prone to problems introduced by SR than CPU Sep 08 01:53:58 general advice: don't use SR, it's most likely not really worth it Sep 08 01:55:27 after all it's just a hw automatism to switch core voltages depending on clock freq, that gets emulated anyway on maemo kernel via software during cpu freq switching by freq-governor Sep 08 01:55:32 afaik Sep 08 01:57:17 so, aiui, SR may improve CPU performance slightly, by eliminating need in kernels sw to deal with core voltages 'manually', but it will *not* significantly reduce power consumption Sep 08 02:00:03 concurrent usage of 'automatic' mode of SR and 'manual' mode tuning the VDD-regulator settings might even create problems Sep 08 02:00:46 and I don't see anything is disabling 'manual' mode when you simply echo 1 >smartreflex Sep 08 02:02:12 SR patches to PK been again something done without knowledge of full picture, I'd guess Sep 08 02:04:55 first Nokia stock maemo5 kernels had SR sysnodes iirc. Just 'userland' never enabled it (echo 1 >/sys/*/*/sr). While Nokia decided to remove the sysnode in some later kernel, based on proper rationale I guess, others decided to pull it in again to PK and even suggest to enable it Sep 08 02:06:32 the rationale of the latter is questionable at least Sep 08 02:11:00 might be. I dont know, there is something weird happening with the whole PM subsystem, random lockups and panics. Sep 08 02:12:03 yeah, there's some hw flaw of undisclosed thus unknown nature reportedly in SR, according to Nokia Sep 08 02:12:55 that's why they implemented it in sw, and consequently deprecated and removed sysnode for SR from stock kernel Sep 08 02:14:06 may I ask what's your hw revision? Sep 08 02:15:49 grep hw-build /proc/component_version Sep 08 02:21:08 2101 Sep 08 02:22:08 I actually dont have any problems with SR when using KP. Sep 08 02:22:49 I guess 3.6-rc4+ is too bleeding edge :) Sep 08 02:27:33 Anyways, that SR "problem" is not the only one, for some reason cpufreq does not go below 500MHz automatically or manually, even though the freqs are in OPP table. Sep 08 02:32:11 Skry: wait, you're running kernel 3.6-rc4? without maemo-patches? Sep 08 02:32:31 won't fly afaik Sep 08 02:33:33 Well, not using it with maemo, but yes. Sep 08 02:33:37 maemo kernel is pretty 'custom' even in stock version Sep 08 02:35:32 you might want to check what mer/nemo got for N900 kernel, they might have something semi-recent and working Sep 08 02:37:53 I've had no other problems than this so far. They dont have anything semi-recent afaik, there is abandoned 3.0 wip from meego but there is nothing usable in there. Sep 08 02:38:22 btw thanks for sharing that, it seems a pretty good indication that all SR messing around in/with PK is just cruft and blunder, since maemo-patches in kernel and cpu-governor still do the manual regulator control thing, and plain vanilla SR doesn't work at all Sep 08 02:39:36 Yeah, it seems that SR somewhat works with core (sometimes works, sometimes panics) and always panics with mpu Sep 08 02:40:51 :nod: Sep 08 02:41:13 toldya DSP seems more prone to problems from SR than CPU Sep 08 02:41:48 so it seems. Sep 08 02:41:50 hmm Sep 08 02:43:16 vdd_mpu_iva: 600 <--> 1450 mV normal | voltdm_scale: No voltage scale API registered for vdd_mpu_iva | platform mpu.0: omap_target: unable to scale voltage down. Sep 08 02:45:09 "No voltage scale API registered for vdd_mpu_iva" makes sense, since afaik cpu core voltage is linked to DSP core voltage, they are one same thing Sep 08 02:49:09 i think so too. Could it be possible that something tries to adjust them separately and fails causing the lockups? Sep 08 02:49:18 sure Sep 08 02:50:36 I only recently had a very short cursory read about internals of SR, in TRM of omap3430 and tps65950 aka twl4030 aka GAIA/pmu Sep 08 02:51:16 so I don't know if maybe SR even expects them to be separate and this might be the cause of Nokia's statement that "SR is broken in hw" Sep 08 02:52:18 It must be Nokia specific since that should be possible/work with 3430 Sep 08 02:53:05 sure (unless it's a silicon erratum in early mask steps of either twl4030 or omap3430) Sep 08 02:54:05 but for sure it might also be Nokia's design not using the LDO-regulator for DSP like it's recommended by TI Sep 08 02:54:28 (if there's such a thing like a dedicated LDO for DSP) Sep 08 02:55:05 So, the whole issue might be somewhat bigger, what if there is some Nokia weirdness that prevents some combinations of ON/RET/OFF states, which would lead to panics when using 3430 C-states with rx-51 :S Sep 08 02:55:49 :shrug: Sep 08 02:57:26 unless you find out about which particular weirdness that might be (in schematics, or in Nokia's kernel patches), we'll never know, since @Nokia there's nobody left over who even *could* tell us Sep 08 02:59:48 we *could* check the assumption of dedicated DSP LDO existing in twl4030 but not used by Nokia in N900. We got the schematics and the TRM/UM/datasheets of twl4030/tps65950 **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sat Sep 08 02:59:58 2012
