**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Sep 17 02:59:59 2012 Sep 17 03:36:39 DocScrutinizer05: fwiw I haven't found any missing bits of files yet - after that fsck jazz ;) Sep 17 03:37:20 but I have the original backup safely tucked away just in case,,,, :) Sep 17 07:51:55 DocScrutinizer, merlin1991: thanks Sep 17 08:39:46 hmm, what's "osso"? Sep 17 08:39:55 i never thought of asking Sep 17 08:43:50 kerio, Open Source Software Operations Sep 17 08:48:54 kerio: it used to be a department inside nokia, comes from times before maemo Sep 17 08:49:00 i see Sep 17 09:43:05 So my conversations DB is corrupt. Can I go in and fix it? I want to have access to my year+ of conversations - but that slows my phone and gets messed up the more I use it (people's names become "* (#)" - which I'm guessing is some code that got spewed into content! Sep 17 09:43:08 Ideas? Sep 17 09:45:53 internetishard: copy the .db files to your computer, delete them in the phone, and try to recover them in your computer Sep 17 09:46:19 and make backups before modifying them Sep 17 09:46:36 How will I know how to repair the DB? Sep 17 09:46:46 good question Sep 17 09:47:02 Also - what's the solution as this thing expands to be able to check the history of my conversations without slowing the phone to a crawl? I've 3+ years of so many conversations in history... Sep 17 09:47:33 internetishard: once you remove them from the phone, itshould go faster in the phone :| Sep 17 09:50:28 yeah, but how should I look up old conversations if I need to. It's also incredibly hard to scroll to a midpoint in any conversation that is of a reasonable length Sep 17 09:50:32 This software is just insanely bad. Sep 17 09:50:49 I've been reading, but I've not learned about coping mechanisms of other users. Sep 17 10:23:04 internetishard: I guess the safest bet is to remove messages older than a certain age and keep a backup somewhere else just in case Sep 17 10:23:24 There's no way to do that, right? Sep 17 10:23:26 that would save the speed issues and should preserve enough backlog in the average case Sep 17 10:23:38 the conversations are inside a sqlite db Sep 17 10:23:45 So you do it manually? Sep 17 10:23:48 yep Sep 17 10:23:50 I'd have to write a script Sep 17 10:23:52 Jesus Sep 17 10:23:56 This is why people use iphones Sep 17 10:24:11 Then what would I use to view my old DB? Sep 17 10:24:26 there is some gui for sqlite Sep 17 10:24:48 http://sqlitebrowser.sourceforge.net/ Sep 17 10:25:44 Do you use the n900 as your #1? Sep 17 10:26:24 I've been doing that for a long time, but nowadays I use a n9 Sep 17 10:26:58 though it still depends on your defeiniton of #1, the n9 is only my #1 phone, I still use and carry my n900 for other stuff Sep 17 10:27:20 what are those other things? Sep 17 10:27:33 Why the n9? Are you comfortable with the touch keyboard? Sep 17 10:27:34 internetishard: also note that upgrading sqlite will make that faster Sep 17 10:27:48 kerio: tell me more Sep 17 10:27:55 StyXman: there is a thread on tmo Sep 17 10:27:59 some dude backported meego's sqlite Sep 17 10:28:01 upgrading sqlite on the n900 will make loading conversations faster? Sep 17 10:28:10 * merlin1991 relized he should contact the dev regarding inclusion to cssu Sep 17 10:28:25 internetishard: yeah, the libsqlite3-0 on the n900 is kinda old Sep 17 10:28:26 internetishard: yep there've been quite some improvements to sqlite since the version that ships with the n900 Sep 17 10:28:53 about the other uses, ie fm-transmitter, wireless fun, anything that requires a hw keyboard... Sep 17 10:29:04 >wireless "fun" Sep 17 10:29:05 lol Sep 17 10:29:18 also the touch keyboard works for sms, but I wouldn't use it to type longer texts Sep 17 10:29:51 merlin1991: so you're talking terminal work & airplay? Sep 17 10:30:18 wtf is airplay? Sep 17 10:30:27 kerio: ie when I want to use my openvpn tunnel on win7 which fscks dns resolution, so I "pipe" the traffic through the n900 over usb so the dns resolver in win7 is not confused Sep 17 10:31:18 hehe Sep 17 10:31:48 kerio: I suppose he meant aireplay which is part of the aircrack suite Sep 17 10:32:47 internetishard: one more thing I still do on the n900, listen to music 16gb on the phone are just not enough :P Sep 17 10:34:08 n9 is only 16GB? Sep 17 10:34:21 there is a 16gb model and a 64gb model Sep 17 10:34:31 I still haven't set it up, but I'm gonna have all my music on my server and I'm gonna mount it over NFS or something or stream all my music Sep 17 10:35:02 so the 64GB model can still have a 32GB microsd card, bringing it to 96GB? Sep 17 10:35:22 the n9 has no cardslot Sep 17 10:35:35 also on the 16gb model only 8.8gb are avaiable for user data Sep 17 10:37:09 why did you get an n9? Sep 17 10:37:18 is there any benefit over android? Sep 17 10:38:28 mainly because I didn't pay for it, but I was interested because it's still the purest linux experience for a current smartphone one can get Sep 17 10:39:27 I'm unclear on why it is more pure. Sep 17 10:40:15 because android is as unix as iOS Sep 17 10:41:13 :( @ linux on smartphones Sep 17 10:42:29 hi there.... my device is bootlooping + backupmenu boots and its not responding Sep 17 10:42:39 should i reflash it with vanilla ? Sep 17 10:44:06 merlin1991: why wouldn't sqlite be an auto update on the n900 for the community package? Sep 17 10:44:12 It won't break anyt hing if I do it manually? Sep 17 10:44:31 it should not break anything at all Sep 17 10:44:46 but it if it is feasible it makes sense to ship to all cssu users Sep 17 10:45:24 yeah, I feel like cssu could do a lot more Sep 17 10:45:30 I've not noticed much of a difference Sep 17 10:46:00 hello Sep 17 10:47:52 to watch 720p videos are the instruction still valid as per http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=77695&highlight=720p&page=108 Sep 17 10:48:43 i run power51 and cssu-thumb Sep 17 10:54:11 Hey all, looking time no see. I was wondering what makes the New testing update require PC suite mode to install. Its not mentioned in the change log Sep 17 11:00:36 install the operator name update first Sep 17 11:01:19 that fsckd msg is simply wrong, it's the default when ham can't decide on conflicts / dependencies and gives up Sep 17 11:02:30 So are there lots of other things to update manually besides the sqlite software? Lots of other goodies CSSU doesn't include? Sep 17 11:03:27 internetishard: well, there's cssu-thumb Sep 17 11:03:53 you need a kernel with the thumb2 errata workaround Sep 17 11:04:07 k, pulled the thread, gotta read about Sep 17 11:05:04 less ram used + shit recompiled with gcc 4.6 or 4.7 Sep 17 11:05:47 M Merlin thanks, next time if and to update I will ensure the widget happens first :-) Sep 17 11:06:05 Kamping_Kaiser: nah, it's not going to be needed Sep 17 11:08:35 * Kamping_Kaiser this a power source and has another go Sep 17 11:12:49 jpinx: (no missing bits) good to hear. The *.REC files may easily be "recovered" deleted files as well Sep 17 11:18:16 Update installing. :-) Sep 17 11:18:53 hi there.... my device is bootlooping + backupmenu boots and its not responding Sep 17 11:20:37 ( I've not noticed much of a difference) that's the basic concept of cssu. It's not even 'allowed' to massivedly change UX, it's meant to keep UX for the good bits and only "fix" broken or obviously missing&&system stuff Sep 17 11:21:12 internetishard: for other improvements there's extras(-devel) repo that holds all the good stuff Sep 17 11:22:20 internetishard: cssu is not a set of preselected apps claiming to be better than the set shipped with stock maemo. Au contraire one of the ideas of cssu is to give user more freedom of choice Sep 17 11:23:46 that's why we force a different operator name widget and a different camera-ui on you! Sep 17 11:23:48 * kerio flees Sep 17 11:24:07 dhbiker: flash COMBINED, install BM, restore your backup Sep 17 11:24:24 dhbiker: robbiethe1st made a fiasco image with BM preinstalled Sep 17 11:24:32 indeed Sep 17 11:24:58 * DocScrutinizer05 slaps kerio for forcing nicocam and opername on him Sep 17 11:25:44 i get this http://pastebin.com/tjNdvcxt Sep 17 11:25:54 nah, that's simply not true for cssu-stable. That's why it's called stable (among other things) Sep 17 11:26:36 dhbiker: yep Sep 17 11:26:51 dhbiker: blacklist phonet! Sep 17 11:27:05 dhbiker: remove the battery, connect the usb cable, hold "u" down, put the battery in Sep 17 11:27:05 or something Sep 17 11:27:13 nah same happens Sep 17 11:27:19 everytime Sep 17 11:27:25 dhbiker: blacklist phonet! Sep 17 11:27:33 sir yes sir! Sep 17 11:27:36 ~flashing Sep 17 11:27:37 rumour has it, maemo-flashing is http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_tablet_firmware Sep 17 11:28:16 dhbiker: lsmod|grep phon Sep 17 11:28:24 you're doing it wrong Sep 17 11:28:35 if something shows up there, you got phonet kernel module problem Sep 17 11:28:43 great Sep 17 11:29:14 i'll try on my netbook Sep 17 11:30:28 dhbiker: most contemporary linux distros have cdc_phonet kernel module, you'll most likely need to blacklist it on your netbook as well Sep 17 11:30:42 probably Sep 17 11:30:47 but i have a different kernel Sep 17 11:30:50 on netbook Sep 17 11:30:50 kerio: who forces that on you?.... would be me and I don't! Sep 17 11:31:14 chem|st: don't feed the troll ;-) Sep 17 11:31:28 but i'm hungry! Sep 17 11:31:35 but I have spare cookies! Sep 17 11:31:40 hehe Sep 17 11:33:38 dhbiker: just out of interest, what did you do to fsckup your system? Sep 17 11:34:01 dhbiker: installed custom kernel? nitdroid? Sep 17 11:34:51 too drained battery while restoring backup Sep 17 11:34:55 ouch Sep 17 11:34:56 yeah, that's bad Sep 17 11:35:01 why didn't you plug the wallcharger in? Sep 17 11:35:07 indeed Sep 17 11:35:08 backupmenu can charge Sep 17 11:35:09 didn't have time :( Sep 17 11:35:21 hm, BM could add a battery meter Sep 17 11:35:31 meh Sep 17 11:35:51 but... yeah, it could. Technically Sep 17 11:37:56 I'd consider it more helpful to add a charge level test with warning Sep 17 11:40:24 "battery low!!! Odds are any backup or restore operation gets aborted by system shutdown due to battery empty. For restore this will thoroughly mess up your system, for backup this will result in broken useless backup file and possible fs corruption. IT'S STRONGLY RECOMMENDED YOU PLUG IN WALLCHARGER *NOW*!" Sep 17 11:41:44 this reminds me, i should make another backup Sep 17 11:41:48 agree Sep 17 11:46:30 hm, is there a reason /etc/mtab is not a symlink to /proc/mounts? Sep 17 11:47:55 I also might imagine some special handling for /lib/modules which should makes ure it gets restored only to a version matching current kernel Sep 17 11:48:38 ...unless there's this magic file causing kernel-flasher to run on next boot Sep 17 11:48:41 DocScrutinizer05: or, much, much easier: dump/flash the kernel too Sep 17 11:48:48 ^^^^ Sep 17 11:48:54 DocScrutinizer05: there's no copy of the kernel in the fs itself Sep 17 11:49:05 what you suggested is next step aka v2.0 Sep 17 11:49:10 i wonder, can the kernel be dumped/flashed with nanddump/nandwrite? Sep 17 11:49:14 or do you need the onboard flasher? Sep 17 11:49:41 I *guess* it can get backed-up and restored by nandtools Sep 17 11:50:08 I suggested that to robbiethe1st several times now Sep 17 11:50:24 appears that memory freed with cssu-thumb makes browser run noticeably faster Sep 17 11:50:25 also do a backup of CAL ;-) Sep 17 11:50:40 Arkenoi: indeed Sep 17 11:50:43 ~cssu-thumb Sep 17 11:50:44 somebody said cssu-thumb was [thumb2 microb] indeed seems to render like mad, subjectively Sep 17 11:50:49 nah, thumb microB is considerably faster Sep 17 11:51:01 or might be that Sep 17 11:51:06 hrmpf, mass storage mode from backupmenu is *kinda* flaky Sep 17 11:51:11 Arkenoi: it's both Sep 17 11:51:25 more free ram, better compiler, stronger optimization Sep 17 11:51:26 looks almost like n950 speed now :-) Sep 17 11:51:37 with moderate overclock (950MHz) Sep 17 11:52:11 overclock basically useless compared to thumb speedup Sep 17 11:52:43 interesting Sep 17 11:52:46 btw I wouldn't consider 950MHz a "moderate OC" Sep 17 11:53:09 i though that thumb is around the same speed Sep 17 11:53:11 yeah, 950 is a 58% increase Sep 17 11:53:22 jacekowski: it's actually a little bit slower Sep 17 11:53:28 and basically close to the edge already Sep 17 11:53:28 but it frees ram Sep 17 11:53:39 and freemangordon uses gcc 4.6 or gcc 4.7 Sep 17 11:53:44 by how much? Sep 17 11:53:46 10-20%? Sep 17 11:53:46 as opposed to the crappy scratchbox 4.2 Sep 17 11:53:57 which seems much better compared to old compiler Sep 17 11:54:03 Story I disappeared, andchat speed respondent :-( Sep 17 11:54:07 i would think it's more gcc than thumb Sep 17 11:54:20 jacekowski: probably, but the freed ram does help a lot Sep 17 11:54:31 code that old gcc was generating was pretty bad Sep 17 11:54:32 Thanks for your help, update installed perfectly Sep 17 11:54:48 hmm? Sep 17 11:55:00 ECHAN? Sep 17 11:55:40 Me? Correct channel, just 20 Minn late Sep 17 11:55:54 ooh, sorry, missed your posts of 90 min ago Sep 17 11:56:06 or 30? Sep 17 11:57:04 Some time ago. Either way, just wanted to make sure I said thanks before I head off Sep 17 11:57:13 * DocScrutinizer05 gets tired to spam channel with [general notice] Sep 17 11:57:28 Kamping_Kaiser: :-D Sep 17 11:57:47 :-) Sep 17 11:57:50 anyway, operator-name-cbs-widget can (and should?) be uninstalled, after the upgrade to cssu-T5.1 Sep 17 11:58:07 meh, WFM Sep 17 11:58:20 DocScrutinizer05: it's a dummy Sep 17 11:58:30 but yes, the update is meant to allow de-installation now Sep 17 11:58:40 the actual stuff is in connui-home-cellular Sep 17 11:59:27 that's why we got dependency issue on update Sep 17 12:00:24 hm, how do you manually focus with nicocam? Sep 17 12:05:52 deepy: http://i.imgur.com/1F2xq.jpg <- this is a picture of my usb cable Sep 17 12:05:54 it's the standard nokia one Sep 17 12:06:02 (it's slightly from the underside) Sep 17 12:07:07 ah, those teeth Sep 17 12:07:21 yep Sep 17 12:07:29 done the same to both microusb plugs Sep 17 12:07:35 (usb cable and wallcharger) Sep 17 12:08:16 Can I rip them out instead? Sep 17 12:08:25 i ripped the teeth out of mine Sep 17 12:08:59 i'm disgusted by your lack of finesse Sep 17 12:09:05 but i suppose that it'll work \_o_/ Sep 17 12:09:23 i blame my arctic forest troll heritage Sep 17 12:09:24 I think so yeah. /o_/ Sep 17 12:10:29 it's deprecated Sep 17 12:10:41 what's deprecated? Sep 17 12:10:52 mechanically mess with plug Sep 17 12:11:35 better than nothing i suppose, im awful at soldering :) Sep 17 12:11:47 I pushed the "teeth" slightly with fingernail, and did a few hundered careful mate/unmate-cycles, and my plugs all work just fine Sep 17 12:13:04 (actually I pulled the plug 2mm and right pushed it back, no complete extraction. Can easily be done with fingernails (so you have any) during watching a movie) Sep 17 12:13:48 also soft pencil helps to apply some graphite to the outside of plug, will help a friggin lot Sep 17 12:14:25 mechanical messing around with plugs is prone to do permanent damage to the port Sep 17 12:14:46 DocScrutinizer05: is filing down a part "mechanical"? Sep 17 12:14:53 yes Sep 17 12:14:59 as worse as it gets Sep 17 12:15:02 D: Sep 17 12:15:13 metal dust will ruin your port Sep 17 12:15:32 hm Sep 17 12:15:34 as will those rough surfaces you create Sep 17 12:15:35 oh well, it works \_o_/ Sep 17 12:16:17 won't graphite do that too? Sep 17 12:16:23 no Sep 17 12:17:37 graphite is a librificant, metal dust is an abrasive thing Sep 17 12:17:41 i see Sep 17 12:17:43 lub* Sep 17 12:17:59 well this would've been more useful to know... two months ago... Sep 17 12:18:22 pencil graphite stays in place, metal dust from filing enters the plug and ruins your contacts Sep 17 12:19:04 mind you, these are like 50um of gold on steel springs Sep 17 12:19:21 gold is softer than steel dust Sep 17 12:19:41 well, i blew on both the port and the plug Sep 17 12:19:56 the least you could do to limit damage Sep 17 12:20:32 nevertheless it's deprecated to file on plugs, better bend the hooks gently in a few times, with your fingernails Sep 17 12:20:43 *slightly* Sep 17 12:21:03 this will soften the springs in those hooks Sep 17 12:21:24 resulting in way smoother retraction of plug Sep 17 12:21:58 a few 50..100 mating cycles do the rest (rounding the hooks' sharp "nose") Sep 17 12:23:14 YMMV, but I found it works just fine for me Sep 17 12:27:31 DocScrutinizer05: no luck... tried with windows too and it throws some weird error Sep 17 12:27:43 sometihng with APE blah blah blah Sep 17 12:28:05 dhbiker: sorry, no idea about windows Sep 17 12:28:12 shiet Sep 17 12:28:18 I can only talk you through flashing under linux Sep 17 12:28:43 ok Sep 17 12:28:46 i am root Sep 17 12:28:49 and everything Sep 17 12:28:53 just like the guide says Sep 17 12:29:04 and i still get that no suitable device found Sep 17 12:29:07 do lsmod|grep phonet Sep 17 12:29:20 nothing Sep 17 12:29:40 what are you trying to flash? Sep 17 12:29:54 emmc Sep 17 12:30:02 Version of 'sw-release': RX-51_2009SE_21.2011.38-1_PR_MR0 Sep 17 12:30:02 Booting device into flash mode. Sep 17 12:30:02 Suitable USB device not found, waiting. Sep 17 12:30:13 flash combined first, flashing emmc depends on a working rootfs Sep 17 12:30:38 oh. Sep 17 12:30:41 see ~flashing Sep 17 12:30:48 it's all written there Sep 17 12:31:33 "combined, vanilla, then combined again..." Sep 17 12:39:04 it lives \o/ Sep 17 12:39:08 \o/ Sep 17 12:39:15 ty DocScrutinizer05 & kerio <3 Sep 17 12:39:17 dhbiker: >>. The sequence "eMMC first, then rootfs" is checked back with Nokia affiliates and is proven to work as long as your rootfs still is somewhat functional.

Sep 17 12:48:25 * chem|st laughs at people using whatsapp! Sep 17 12:48:35 kerio: yep, under battery Sep 17 12:48:48 presumably Sep 17 12:49:14 kerio: alas those details are omitted from schematics Sep 17 12:49:19 typical :s Sep 17 12:49:37 hm, how do you actually connect to those pads under the battery? Sep 17 12:49:44 do you have to solder something to them? Sep 17 12:49:47 service fixture Sep 17 12:49:51 is it something that clips? Sep 17 12:50:06 yep, a huge "battery" with pogopins and cable Sep 17 12:50:16 i see Sep 17 12:51:48 or this http://www.fonefunshop.co.uk/Unlocking/servicecableuniversal1.htm Sep 17 12:52:54 hahaha, that's cool Sep 17 12:54:06 the one i meant looks similar to http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nokia-X2-01-Unlocking-Flashing-Cable-GPG-Best-Dongle-Fenix-Key-MxBox-MxKey-/130757486675?_trksid=p4340.m185&_trkparms=algo%3DSIC.NPJS%26its%3DI%26itu%3DUA%26otn%3D5%26pmod%3D390253018066%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D2108992536272159332#ht_2210wt_1163 Sep 17 12:56:29 more like http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nokia-E5-00-Flashing-Unlocking-Cable-GPG-for-MxKey-Best-Dongle-Fenix-Cyclone-/140838802718?pt=UK_MobilePhones_MobilePhoneAccesories_MobilePhoneDataCables_JN&hash=item20caa5951e Sep 17 12:56:47 yeah, yeah Sep 17 12:57:18 hehe, that kind of stuff would fit in the mugen xl backcover :D Sep 17 13:07:12 ciao Sep 17 13:11:14 DocScrutinizer05: in what repo is the backupmenu ? Sep 17 13:11:48 extras-devel Sep 17 13:12:51 ty Sep 17 13:17:30 yw Sep 17 13:17:47 dhbiker: http://maemo.org/packages/ Sep 17 13:18:27 name includes: "backup" Sep 17 13:18:53 -->http://maemo.org/packages/view/backupmenu/ Sep 17 13:21:43 DocScrutinizer05: oh it's not in extras-testing at least? Sep 17 13:22:06 extras-devel doesn't sound very seriously. I can't believe you suggest it :) Sep 17 13:22:42 isn't the promotion mechanism kinda broken? Sep 17 13:23:26 now i'll wait for battery be fully charged Sep 17 13:23:33 i wont do the same mistake again :/ Sep 17 13:23:48 kerio: developer itself put it into testing. It worked at least few month ago (curl). Sep 17 13:39:21 luf: alas there's a lot of useful (and stable) packages lingering in -devel. That's mainly due to lack of testers who would promote a pkg from extras-testing to extras Sep 17 13:39:42 so devels see no use in promoting their packages to -testing, I guess Sep 17 13:40:22 * DocScrutinizer05 takes mental note to prod robbiethe1st to promote BM to -testing Sep 17 13:55:44 hehe, cool, you can see the bluetooth transfer speed drop as you transfer data via wifi Sep 17 14:01:14 doesn't mean much though Sep 17 14:02:16 more interesting would be to watch BT bandwidth while transfering data between two other devices close to the BT devices Sep 17 14:03:41 * DocScrutinizer05 suspects 50% of the BT headset audio dropouts caused by interference from other 2.4GHz sources, like WLAN-hotspots, microwave ovens, and whatnot else Sep 17 14:06:47 btw is there a way to force contacts into portrait? Sep 17 14:08:36 nope Sep 17 14:09:13 sure there is Sep 17 14:09:20 enable forcerotation and remove it from the blacklist Sep 17 14:09:25 it'll probably work like ass, though Sep 17 14:11:32 most of the originl code for the dialer app was never intended to run in portrait from the beginning. Sep 17 14:32:46 worst case it'll segfault Sep 17 14:33:21 most likely it won't be usable at all, due to size and positioning of widgets Sep 17 15:08:39 DocScrutinizer05: hey guy I told about -devel not -testing. Putting package into -testing depends only on the developer. And when developer means it's not stable enough for testing ... how can we recomand it? Sep 17 15:09:46 DocScrutinizer05: but it's like the question if there was egg or hen at first ... Sep 17 15:10:22 DocScrutinizer05: Devels should do they job. And it's only 1 click I think to put the package into -testing. Sep 17 15:44:20 I just noticed it's FM TRANSMITTER and not receiver Sep 17 15:44:58 and then I noticed TV-out Sep 17 16:08:31 deepy: there's also a fm receiver Sep 17 16:08:37 but no builtin way to use it Sep 17 16:13:14 he Sep 17 16:13:16 h Sep 17 16:31:00 N900? but proper non-HARM-hackish proper community made packages for FMRX, even several Sep 17 16:33:03 DocScrutinizer05: that's why i said "builtin" Sep 17 16:35:12 DAFAQ Sep 17 16:33:56 halebop kernel: [3943500.563996] Critical temperature reached (100 C), shutting down. Sep 17 16:36:28 * DocScrutinizer05 runs to buy a can of pressurized air Sep 17 16:37:40 i don't think it's going to be cold enough Sep 17 16:40:46 nah, i hoped that docking station will lift the T500 above table just enough to stop it scooping in all debris and tobacco and ashes and whatnot - obviously a delusion. So going to blow it out again Sep 17 16:50:43 temps all <63° now, wtf? Sep 17 16:51:27 I guess fan control in T500 under linux is borked Sep 17 16:51:44 (not exactly unheard) Sep 17 16:52:55 or over temp monitoring Sep 17 16:55:03 Where are the files I put on the mass storage? Sep 17 16:56:42 oh, /media/mmc1 Sep 17 16:56:45 I need a tab complete :E Sep 17 16:56:48 or ~/MyDocs Sep 17 16:56:54 deepy: map tab to shift+fn+something Sep 17 16:57:03 either bksp or ret Sep 17 16:58:21 and it's not in that folder either Sep 17 16:58:32 it really is in ~MyDocs which was empty every single time I checked Sep 17 16:59:49 mplayer crashed Sep 17 17:01:56 kmplayer worked much better Sep 17 17:04:46 deepy: those don't use the DSP though Sep 17 17:04:56 kerio, how to map keys in maemo? Sep 17 17:05:32 nm, it is actually easy to find Sep 17 17:05:37 drhjk: edit /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/nokia_vndr/rx-51 as appropriate :) Sep 17 17:05:49 read the xkb docs to learn how to Sep 17 17:06:55 kerio: dsp? Sep 17 17:07:02 Also, I'm open for alternatives Sep 17 17:07:18 deepy: hardware thingy that does video decoding Sep 17 17:07:21 Ah Sep 17 17:07:30 it's used by the default media player application and by openmediaplayer Sep 17 17:07:38 but it only works with some formats Sep 17 17:07:48 you can also install additional gstreamer codecs for other formats Sep 17 17:08:27 apt-get install decoders-support ogg-support Sep 17 17:16:53 SpeedEvil: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Fan_control_scripts Sep 17 17:20:52 SpeedEvil: http://superuser.com/questions/304421/thinkpad-shuts-down-after-10-minutes-of-heavy-use Sep 17 17:24:03 SpeedEvil: I think I might need a bios update Sep 17 17:59:14 yo Sep 17 17:59:38 at the risk of appearing like a total spastic retard, how do I update to the latest cssu-thumb? Sep 17 18:00:58 freemangordon: ping Sep 17 18:03:49 how hard is it to modify hildon home? Sep 17 18:04:38 when you type letters in it automatically opens the address book. Sep 17 18:04:42 and searches. Sep 17 18:04:50 your contacts. Sep 17 18:05:04 How hard would it be to also include program names in that search? Sep 17 18:05:16 Almost an instant search as it were. Sep 17 18:05:20 ? Sep 17 18:32:44 is the default browser goodor should I change? Sep 17 18:45:46 whats happens with python and the builder ? Sep 17 18:46:01 https://garage.maemo.org/pipermail/extras-cauldron-builds/2012-September/thread.html <- [extras-builds] [fremantle]: python2.7 2.7.3~rc2-2.1-maemo1 UNKNOWN x 100000000000 Sep 17 18:52:54 deepy: it can't be easily changed, and unless you install cssu-thumb fennec (firefox mobile) will seriously suck Sep 17 18:53:07 deepy: there's an experimental version of opera mobile that works well Sep 17 18:53:28 cssu-thumb? Sep 17 18:53:37 Weren't you grieving over that a while ago? Sep 17 18:53:46 i what? Sep 17 18:54:01 the performance of it? Sep 17 18:54:15 what's "it" here? Sep 17 18:54:16 fennec? Sep 17 18:54:22 cssu-thumb Sep 17 18:54:27 no, cssu-thumb is the shit Sep 17 18:54:39 Why am I not using it? Sep 17 18:54:44 idk Sep 17 18:54:53 ~cssu-thumb Sep 17 18:54:53 hmm... cssu-thumb is [thumb2 microb] indeed seems to render like mad, subjectively Sep 17 18:55:21 deepy: well, it's kinda bleedy Sep 17 18:55:25 What about samba? Sep 17 18:55:29 I figure I could use with a samba client Sep 17 18:55:51 you could use *what* with a samba client? Sep 17 18:55:56 you accidentally a noun there Sep 17 18:56:19 I accidently a verb ther Sep 17 18:56:27 anyway, apt-get install samba or something like that Sep 17 18:56:52 cssu first! Sep 17 18:56:56 if you just want a client, smbfs and smbclient seem appropriate Sep 17 18:56:58 I found the tab Sep 17 18:57:26 freemangordon: make an actual factoid with links to the instructions to install cssu-thumb Sep 17 18:57:26 does bleedy bleedy and stable both have twisted? Sep 17 18:57:58 deepy: it appears that python-twisted-* is only in extras-devel Sep 17 18:58:07 which is, realistically, what you should use Sep 17 18:59:10 DocScrutinizers gonna scrutinize Sep 17 18:59:59 The only legitimate way to learn is to break something Sep 17 19:00:04 ikr Sep 17 19:00:10 NOBODY learns as fast as when they're trying to save their valuable data Sep 17 19:00:25 deepy: it's even easier if you don't have any valuable data Sep 17 19:00:34 That's cheating and hinders the urgency Sep 17 19:00:49 But it's a sacrifice I'm willing to make Sep 17 19:01:01 what do you need twisted for? Sep 17 19:01:11 Python networking and lurvely reactors Sep 17 19:01:18 ... i know Sep 17 19:01:25 i meant in particular Sep 17 19:01:27 Maemo uses Qt doesn't it? Sep 17 19:01:38 Oh, I haven't planned anything Sep 17 19:01:44 it's just that whatever I do I generally end up using twisted Sep 17 19:01:50 hehe Sep 17 19:01:58 anyway, most nokia applications use gtk Sep 17 19:02:02 but qt is also available Sep 17 19:02:16 and the look&feel is mostly the same Sep 17 19:03:49 you should use qt, gtk sucks Sep 17 19:18:09 kerio: doesn't qt have somewhat higher ram usage than gtk? Sep 17 19:19:18 gtkers gonna gtk Sep 17 19:19:29 lol Sep 17 19:19:35 and i don't think the ram usage is *that* greater Sep 17 19:19:57 i'm not even a dev or something :P Sep 17 19:20:00 unless you always use maemo-launcher/maemo-invoker for your gtk programs Sep 17 19:30:51 huh, apparently launching a different maemo-launcher borks your existing maemo-launcher Sep 17 19:34:56 kerio: Qt uses much more RAM than gtk, something like 2-3 times Sep 17 19:35:08 for one and the same task Sep 17 20:09:07 deepy: btw, you might want to install Easy Debian Sep 17 20:09:32 hey Sep 17 20:09:36 on that subject Sep 17 20:09:42 can you use any small image for easydeb? Sep 17 20:09:58 i know this subject is on the forums but im literally walking down the street Sep 17 20:18:56 myuu__: watch out for potholes Sep 17 20:18:57 kerio: what does it do? Sep 17 20:19:10 myuu__: i suppose you can use any image you want for easychroot Sep 17 20:19:39 deepy: a debian testing install in a chroot jail, with lxde, libreoffice, gimp and iceweasel Sep 17 20:22:56 oh Sep 17 20:23:02 I don't need/want any of those tbh :p Sep 17 20:23:02 yep :) Sep 17 20:23:10 shit's awesome, yo Sep 17 20:23:16 Isn't libreoffice based on OO.org? Sep 17 20:23:33 libreoffice is OOo but with a lot less oracle Sep 17 20:23:48 Does that even work on normal equipment? Sep 17 20:25:20 what do you mean? Sep 17 20:31:31 LO was forked Sep 17 20:31:38 and they added a lotf from there side Sep 17 20:31:50 OO was updated and stuff was added too Sep 17 20:32:04 the question if changes were merged Sep 17 20:32:23 and afaik LO devs are those who left OO coz of oracle Sep 17 20:33:34 I thought you needed a HPC to even run OO.org Sep 17 20:33:52 i thought most of the devs that left OO were the important ones Sep 17 20:34:42 anyways Sep 17 20:34:44 more important matters Sep 17 20:34:56 does dosemu/dosbox work fine on maemo? Sep 17 20:35:06 i don't see why not Sep 17 20:35:11 apart for the right clicking Sep 17 20:35:20 Can I find them in HAM_ Sep 17 20:35:40 dosbox - Intel x86 PC emulator Sep 17 20:37:32 kerio Sep 17 20:37:35 I think you have tricked me Sep 17 20:37:50 This thing is a PDA, not a phone... is it not? Sep 17 20:38:05 wtf Sep 17 20:38:17 well, technically it's a Nokia Internet Tablet Sep 17 20:38:22 it was marketed as a tablet Sep 17 20:38:28 it does phone calls, as a side business Sep 17 20:38:51 is it not good? Sep 17 20:39:21 you just got an n900 deepy? Sep 17 20:39:45 myuu__: yeah, he kept saying that his phone sucks, and i obviously suggested to buy a used n900 Sep 17 20:39:49 he actually did it Sep 17 20:39:50 LOLZ Sep 17 20:40:04 congrats Sep 17 20:40:18 also whats this thumb Sep 17 20:40:18 yay Sep 17 20:40:19 It does seem to do slightly less than my PC and a lot more than my current phone Sep 17 20:40:20 new repo? Sep 17 20:40:31 myuu__: a cssu-testing variant Sep 17 20:40:38 id like to give it a go Sep 17 20:40:39 url Sep 17 20:40:42 with performance enhancing drugs Sep 17 20:40:44 or nvm ill google Sep 17 20:40:49 myuu__: technically you already have the repo entry in HAM Sep 17 20:40:52 I'm not overly thrilled about how "fat" it is, but that's gonna be irrelevant if the battery holds up well :) Sep 17 20:40:55 if you updated to the latest CSSU Sep 17 20:41:03 ham just plain doesnt work for me im afraid Sep 17 20:41:17 myuu__: do you have cssu-testing enabled? Sep 17 20:41:21 oh but it should also be a part of apt-get yet Sep 17 20:41:37 myuu__: cssu-testing recompiled with gcc 4.7.2-linaro and by using Thumb2 instruction set Sep 17 20:41:58 myuu__: if you don't have kp51 installed, then you should use HAM Sep 17 20:42:09 myuu__: http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=1220597&postcount=1 Sep 17 20:42:12 because thumb2 binaries need a special workaround in the kernel Sep 17 20:42:34 so doing apt-get upgrade is a bad idea - unless you install the kernel first and then reboot, i s'pose Sep 17 20:42:39 but no, follow the instructions Sep 17 20:42:54 cant exactly flash but im on kp49 Sep 17 20:42:58 infobot: cssu-thumb is also http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=1220597 Sep 17 20:42:59 okay, kerio Sep 17 20:43:11 myuu__: "can't exactly flash", "HAM doesn't work" Sep 17 20:43:11 wtf Sep 17 20:43:20 what have you done to your n900? Sep 17 20:43:30 its been through a lot Sep 17 20:43:37 the USB craps out Sep 17 20:43:42 deepy: the battery is not really "good", though Sep 17 20:43:52 it *is* swappable, though Sep 17 20:44:02 and unofficial BL-5Js have gotten to 1500mAh Sep 17 20:44:05 kerio: come on, why the battery is not good? Sep 17 20:44:05 (measured) Sep 17 20:44:27 i had this discussio the other day in the -ssu channel lol Sep 17 20:44:29 freemangordon: well, it's not infinite, for instance :( Sep 17 20:44:34 i was doing a lot to kill my battery fast Sep 17 20:44:57 kerio: aah, I see Sep 17 20:45:01 i'd like a cold fusion battery Sep 17 20:45:22 freemangordon: tbh deepy said that his previous phone couldn't last the night in standby, from a full charge Sep 17 20:45:26 so \_o_/ Sep 17 20:45:33 android?

Sep 17 20:52:20 deepy: nah, everything expects pulseaudio to be there Sep 17 20:52:32 Silliness aside, I'm just not really a big fan of pulseaudio Sep 17 20:52:36 nobody is Sep 17 20:52:52 I've seen some people drool Sep 17 20:52:58 oh yeah, my phone isn't starting now Sep 17 20:53:01 D: Sep 17 20:53:04 what have you done?

Sep 17 20:53:35 weird Sep 17 20:53:35 yes Sep 17 20:53:42 it was after the last step when it rebooted Sep 17 20:53:52 deepy: #maemo-ssu Sep 17 21:04:53 DocScrutinizer05: deepy's n900 can't seem to figure out if the kbd slider is open or closed Sep 17 21:08:00 deepy: try opening and closing it again \_o_/ Sep 17 21:08:12 hm, are you getting weird messages in dmesg? Sep 17 21:08:26 kerio: wait, kbd light stays on if you have RD mode enabled Sep 17 21:08:42 freemangordon: yeah but he doesn't have rd mode enabled Sep 17 21:10:32 kerio: are you sure? Sep 17 21:11:02 freemangordon: he also gets bootmenu every time, as if his keyboard is open Sep 17 21:12:43 kerio: well, then it is not HW Sep 17 21:12:58 huh? you mean that it's not SW? Sep 17 21:13:07 deepy: did you flash your device when you got it? Sep 17 21:13:51 kerio: if kbd open/closed is correctly detected during early boot, then i'll consider that SW until proven wrong Sep 17 21:14:15 freemangordon: no, he *always* gets bootmenu, even when the kbd slider is closed Sep 17 21:18:04 kerio: aah, ok, my bad then Sep 17 21:18:20 not good :( Sep 17 21:19:26 where's the sensor for the keyboard slider? Sep 17 21:20:29 not sure, but IIRC soldered to the mainboard Sep 17 21:20:41 but it could be the magnet as well Sep 17 21:20:47 freemangordon: could it be just clogged or something Sep 17 21:20:56 iirc it is magnetic Sep 17 21:21:12 but you'd better ask doc or estel about it Sep 17 21:21:37 freemangordon: yes Sep 17 21:21:51 oh Sep 17 21:21:55 heh, had scrolled up by accident Sep 17 21:24:32 E: Couldn't find package dosbox Sep 17 21:24:36 I don't know what I'm doing wrong Sep 17 21:25:11 and devel is gone gaain Sep 17 21:25:12 deepy: more importantly, you have a hw problem :s Sep 17 21:25:49 How severe are they? Sep 17 21:25:59 idk Sep 17 21:26:07 the kbd slider sensor should be fairly robust Sep 17 21:26:16 ask DocScrutinizer, he's the EE Sep 17 21:28:05 He seems to be away Sep 17 21:28:24 Oh Sep 17 21:28:33 Can I do "just charging" over USB?

Sep 17 21:54:43 me mumbles NTP and heads off to TV Sep 17 22:00:17 I'm gonna search tMO For swoosh Sep 17 23:04:15 n900 needs audo cloud backup, like other mobiles Sep 17 23:13:51 ~cloud Sep 17 23:13:52 somebody said cloud was an experienced Zaurus user Sep 17 23:21:18 I don't get it Sep 17 23:21:22 over my head! Sep 17 23:22:13 * DocScrutinizer05 introduces kraut computing Sep 17 23:22:47 YEah, I used a buzzword :( Sep 17 23:22:57 ~dict audo Sep 17 23:22:59 could not find definition for audo Sep 17 23:23:08 laaaame Sep 17 23:23:19 is /me Sep 17 23:23:24 I can't find one either! Sep 17 23:23:25 ~spell audo Sep 17 23:23:26 possible spellings for audo: Audi audio Ado ado Audy auto Aldo judo ludo Sep 17 23:24:08 I need to install extra-devel as you said above, though this is my everyday phone Sep 17 23:24:23 DocScrutinizer, how's your study of cosmology been? Sep 17 23:24:24 huh? Sep 17 23:24:32 Just been doing software lately, and not much physics? Sep 17 23:24:49 still looking out for balck mater panets Sep 17 23:25:01 still looking out for black mater planets Sep 17 23:25:02 black mater? lol! Sep 17 23:25:06 dark matter? Sep 17 23:25:27 whatever, I'm not even supposed to sit at this friggin PC Sep 17 23:25:45 on top of it? Sep 17 23:25:49 Yeah, it might break! Sep 17 23:25:55 * DocScrutinizer05 got a serious adiction problem Sep 17 23:26:01 computer addiction? Sep 17 23:26:04 yeah Sep 17 23:26:06 you're in AUS, right? Sep 17 23:26:17 SOL3 Sep 17 23:26:20 It's all about breaking the cycle. Sep 17 23:26:33 hi Sep 17 23:26:37 Fortunately, in your case of addiction, people like me benefit from your knowledge Sep 17 23:26:39 HI Sep 17 23:26:53 robbiethe1st: we just talked about BM Sep 17 23:27:21 no one calls it that... Are you trolling? Sep 17 23:27:27 robbiethe1st: might BM learn to not brainlessly restore /lib7modules ? Sep 17 23:27:34 I was thinking... Has anyone ever messed with turning the N900 into a USB HID in hostmode? Sep 17 23:27:44 Uh... lib7modules? Sep 17 23:27:56 lib/modules/* Sep 17 23:28:25 (for unknown reasons my right shift key or finger doesn't work) Sep 17 23:28:34 Why not? If it didn't, you'd end up with a non-functional device, as there'd be no kernel drivers...? Sep 17 23:29:00 you might restore non-mathing kernel modules Sep 17 23:29:06 matching* Sep 17 23:29:43 I envision some kind of test (first step of enterprise) Sep 17 23:29:56 to make sure .ko matches mtd0 Sep 17 23:29:57 So? I mean, the kernel won't pick them up unless it's running that version; the only problem comes when the kernel on the kernel partition doesn't have drivers in the backup Sep 17 23:30:19 right Sep 17 23:30:42 next step of "we conquer the world": make kenel backups and restore them Sep 17 23:30:53 I'd expect the /correct/ thing to do would be to somehow keep a Nokia Stock kernel on disk and write it to the kernel partition. Sep 17 23:30:55 mtdtools Sep 17 23:31:18 Actually, what would be involved with writing a kernel - it's seemingly not a mtd partition or anything, just raw data to raw flash? Sep 17 23:31:23 nanddump, nandwrite Sep 17 23:32:01 Would DD not work? If it did any bad-block correction it wouldn't, but, does that partition? Sep 17 23:32:31 nanddump/write handles OOB Sep 17 23:32:38 OOB? Sep 17 23:33:29 -j, --jffs2 Force jffs2 oob layout (legacy support) Sep 17 23:33:30 -y, --yaffs Force yaffs oob layout (legacy support) Sep 17 23:33:45 -m, --markbad Mark blocks bad if write fails Sep 17 23:33:54 -o, --oob Image contains oob data Sep 17 23:34:00 But what does the kernel partition have? I didn't think it had either? Sep 17 23:34:18 NAND has OOB to handle bad blocks Sep 17 23:34:48 (simplified) Sep 17 23:35:28 Usage: nandwrite [OPTION] MTD_DEVICE [INPUTFILE|-] Sep 17 23:35:29 Writes to the specified MTD device. Sep 17 23:35:31 -a, --autoplace Use auto oob layout Sep 17 23:35:52 oob == out of band (iirc) Sep 17 23:36:26 the 17th bit of a 16bit word Sep 17 23:36:40 kinda Sep 17 23:37:11 yeah Sep 17 23:44:56 http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11279473/how-to-correctly-nandwrite-a-nanddumped-dump-with-oob http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Mtdutils Sep 17 23:45:22 pk Sep 17 23:45:25 *OK Sep 17 23:45:45 http://www.linux-mtd.infradead.org/doc/general.html Sep 17 23:47:28 BEWARE: >>mtd_torturetest: this test is designed to wear out flash eraseblocks<< it *does*! Sep 17 23:51:16 robbiethe1st: also backup/restore CAL ;-) Sep 17 23:51:55 CAL? Sep 17 23:57:13 mtd1 Sep 17 23:57:25 aka config Sep 17 23:57:50 the heart of N900 Sep 17 23:59:43 search chanlog for "nandtester" Sep 18 00:01:06 this poor guy probably would invite you to his wedding for providing a way to restore CAL Sep 18 00:02:10 What's the problem - lock code? Sep 18 00:02:12 also interesting: mtd_debug (binary) Sep 18 00:03:40 Wouldn't it be possible to just make a backup through root terminal mode which is available now? Sep 18 00:03:45 (of CAL that is) Sep 18 00:03:50 nandtester's problem? he nuked cal Sep 18 00:04:37 robbiethe1st: i guess yes as long as nanddump available Sep 18 00:04:49 Just thinking, for nandtester Sep 18 00:05:02 get someone else to make a backup, upload to the web... Sep 18 00:05:14 actuelly CAL backup/restore doesn't depend on BM Sep 18 00:05:45 (backup) to be found on my server Sep 18 00:06:03 You've got a nanddump up there or...? Sep 18 00:06:14 a cal dump Sep 18 00:06:27 some Sep 18 00:06:43 cool Sep 18 00:07:37 yaknow I dont giva fsck about 'UUUH my IMEI!!" Sep 18 00:08:14 IMEI are two dozen a penny Sep 18 00:08:38 so are MAC Sep 18 00:12:48 DocScrutinizer you should make a blog or reading list for people Sep 18 00:12:54 you've a website? Sep 18 00:13:30 nah Sep 18 00:13:48 Remember our conversation on consmology? Sep 18 00:14:16 I got almost 300 victims here ;-P Sep 18 00:15:16 sure I remember Sep 18 00:15:43 remembering id my toolset for what I'm doing here Sep 18 00:16:43 they already called me DocWiki Sep 18 00:23:21 DocScrutinizer what are your primary interests? Sep 18 00:23:34 I think you could be one of those people who help us get the next n900 Sep 18 00:23:49 I'm signing up to be the guy who networks the contacts you need to make it happen Sep 18 00:24:18 With todays processes - and the right people - one could put together an open source hardware snapdraggon awesome phone Sep 18 00:25:03 google for gta04, /join #jollamobile and tell them they need me ;-) Sep 18 00:28:08 internetishard: open source hardware is hard, Sep 18 00:28:40 http://WWW.mauve.plus.com/opensourcehw.text Sep 18 00:29:05 txt Sep 18 00:29:44 http://www.mauve.plus.com/opensourcehw.txt Sep 18 00:30:14 ah, I don't mean open source hardware like that. I mean form a company that makes money off selling it just like the other HW makers Sep 18 00:30:36 DocScrutinizer doesn't openmoko want you?? Sep 18 00:30:49 open moko is dead Sep 18 00:31:02 well he mentioned gta04 - tell them they need me... Sep 18 00:35:47 I've been vice head of hw development in openmoko Sep 18 00:36:13 really? what are your ambitions? Sep 18 00:36:24 (new) gta04 is made by goldelico (with a little help from me) Sep 18 00:36:40 gta04.org Sep 18 00:38:43 jolla is the nokia-maemo-subdivision-ressurrected Sep 18 00:39:25 they told they want to ship first device end of this year, so they already missted the point when they should've hired me Sep 18 00:39:59 why wouldn't they? Sep 18 00:40:01 just lack of funds, right? Sep 18 00:40:33 I believe there is an industry out there big enough to find a cutting edge HW device that would run a real open linux distro Sep 18 00:40:41 likely someone's got candidate hardware in mind. Sep 18 00:40:44 and would want all sorts of sensors and modular HW Sep 18 00:40:55 * SpeedEvil sighs. Sep 18 00:41:23 I wish I'd written down my 'modularity is hard' ant Sep 18 00:41:28 rant Sep 18 00:41:35 no, I get that Sep 18 00:41:45 making a galaxy and iphone is hard too Sep 18 00:41:52 I'm just saying there is an industry out there Sep 18 00:42:00 I think if the right peopel were together and they marketed it correctly Sep 18 00:42:04 it could self sustain Sep 18 00:42:19 and actually be decent in supported tech vs the modern smartphones Sep 18 00:43:11 you need several million dollars per model of cutting edge he Sep 18 00:43:17 hardware Sep 18 00:43:44 look, there's a plethora of nice hw, ready to buy. What you need is an OS for it, and no company is going to build a hw to support a yet-to-develop OS Sep 18 00:44:21 indeed Sep 18 00:45:12 I suggested to Nokia to sell their phones dual-OS, maybe 3 years ago. Sell them with primary OS being sybian/windoze/whatever, plus proper board-support-package to allow community to port linux to it Sep 18 00:45:56 this will blow android shit outa the water Sep 18 00:46:04 Couldn't you do the same with some Chinese vendor? Sep 18 00:46:15 sure Sep 18 00:46:27 Just deal with them, they provide the OEM device, you the software, they sell sw-less devices Sep 18 00:46:30 Chinese vendors have massive cultural problems with open source Sep 18 00:46:48 Can't be any worse than US vendors... Sep 18 00:46:57 many do not comply with existing legal requirements - GPL. Sep 18 00:47:00 believe me, it is Sep 18 00:47:04 oh yes, it can. Sep 18 00:48:52 I bought a cheesy lil featurephone noname, with linux on it, some 4 years ago. Goldelico managed to get some 5 from China. It had no shell, no sourcecode provided, nuttin Sep 18 00:49:25 so despite it's linux, it's just as bad as any random proprietary crap for me Sep 18 00:49:33 I'd expect you'd have to go to the mfgr /first/ and deal with whoever is willing to deal with you on your terms. Sep 18 00:49:41 Like the allwinner cpu-card folks did Sep 18 00:53:05 So... speaking of closed source, is anyone else waiting for Steam on Linux? Sep 18 00:54:50 the last game I purchased was angry birds space. Sep 18 00:56:10 DocScrutinizer05: I think you just need to find the right people. When you get them in the same place, they'll: find the demand and niches for a quality linux phone Sep 18 00:56:36 this might need to start in india or somewhere, but I think it could just as easily start in the bay area (where I live) Sep 18 00:56:49 there were such meetings. goldelico resulted from it Sep 18 00:56:50 I was part of a startup that built it's own touch screen device in under a year with 15 people Sep 18 00:57:00 rather: gta04 resulted from it Sep 18 00:57:09 sure sure, and that's fine and dandy Sep 18 00:57:14 but it's no android alternative Sep 18 00:57:50 One can go much further in that direction. Sep 18 00:58:17 I think Nikolaus did it with as little as 50k€ so far, plus tousands of hours of his work Sep 18 00:58:33 no venture capital Sep 18 00:58:43 A 20 person startup could do it by getting together the people with money who aren't satisfied by android, iOS, or blackberry - and finding mutualistic solutions Sep 18 00:59:10 That's one possible route, but I do think there is plenty of capital for such a project. Sep 18 00:59:14 go ahead, we'll follow Sep 18 00:59:20 DocScrutinizer05 where do you live? Sep 18 00:59:26 D Sep 18 00:59:29 I've my own startup to deal with, but I love connecting people? Sep 18 00:59:35 Detroit? Sep 18 00:59:44 ? -> ! :P Sep 18 00:59:58 de_DE Sep 18 01:00:15 Are you natively german? Sep 18 01:00:23 I used to live in Stockholm Sep 18 01:00:24 yep Sep 18 01:00:35 Knowing the culture helps me connect people :) Sep 18 01:01:08 I'm trying to think of who might be hurting for a smartphone platform more than anyone else... Who would be the most driven... Sep 18 01:01:28 I talked with Raster, with Nikolaus from Goldelico, with those french guys from bearstech Sep 18 01:01:49 with Wolfgang Spraul, Wernr Almesberger Sep 18 01:01:55 DocScrutinizer05, wouldn't this theoretical platform eventually be able to run iOS and Android apps in VMs? Sep 18 01:02:19 iOS hardly, Android why not Sep 18 01:02:52 hmm, well I run OSX VMs on linux boxes (against the license agreement, but it works fine) Sep 18 01:03:27 internetishard, what's your touchscreen device if I may ask? Sep 18 01:03:41 OSX is supposed to run on ISAish hw Sep 18 01:04:08 robbiethe1st: I've probably fucked around on IRC too much to be an official employee on here Sep 18 01:04:18 but it's in the "mobile health" arena ;) Sep 18 01:04:23 oh **** ENDING LOGGING AT Tue Sep 18 02:59:58 2012
