**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu May 09 02:59:58 2013 May 09 04:47:10 oh awesome, bugs.maemo.org redirects to wiki.maemo.org May 09 06:09:59 andre__: we had to take it down until somebody applies necessary security patches to bugzilla May 09 06:10:22 andre__: http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=1341977&postcount=65 May 09 06:13:44 I tried to ping you about that 1 or 2 days ago, to inform you directly and ask you about your opinion regarding maintainership for bugzilla. Meanwhile freemangordon has been shanghaied May 09 06:14:08 makes sense May 09 06:14:28 somebody needs to upgrade May 09 06:14:32 yep May 09 06:14:42 even if you apply all 3.4 patches, there are enough open issues left May 09 06:14:46 as 3.4 is not maintained anymore May 09 06:15:11 yeah, I'm afraid the patch I suggested is not really sufficient May 09 06:15:55 our sysops already made a backup of the wiki/bugs VM, and FMG will tackle it on weekend IIRC May 09 06:16:17 I hope he will do "the right thing" May 09 06:16:46 but of course you're free to discuss with him what's the correct and sensible way forward May 09 06:17:40 I can't handle every single aspect of every single subsystem's maintenance myself, I need to rely on my maintainers to take good care May 09 08:08:44 ccxCZ: ping May 09 08:09:39 pong May 09 08:15:08 Pali: didn't really had time to play with 0xFFFF but at least my /dev/bus/usb problem is magically gone now May 09 08:15:42 ccxCZ: ok do you have still some segfauls? May 09 08:17:06 let me check with head May 09 08:18:17 or rather, let me boot to new kernel first :-) May 09 09:23:18 moo May 09 09:28:58 ShadowJK: You compiled gpodder? May 09 09:29:31 Did you notice any improvement in running speed? May 09 09:32:46 Oorgle! May 09 09:33:18 Bleat. May 09 09:33:40 Bleeeeargh! May 09 09:34:11 Not bad :) May 09 09:46:46 µ May 09 10:47:45 vi__; no May 09 10:48:26 vi__; there shoudn't be any speedup, python compiles uncompiled stuff on startup May 09 10:49:25 so it'd only change startup speed? May 09 11:02:49 right May 09 11:11:16 lame. Mrs vi_ has gpodder loaded up with a retarded number of podcasts and complains it is sometimes too slow. May 09 12:47:16 Hi... I have a bad problem... after a reboot (I know fsck found some inconsistencies) I can no longer enter mobile network. It just does not appear in the list any more. May 09 12:47:36 I probably need to delete some gconf file... any idea which? May 09 12:53:49 ~tabletsdev May 09 12:53:51 rumour has it, tabletsdev is http://repository.maemo.org/tabletsdev/ May 09 12:55:53 anyway, is there any way to fix this other than restarting with empty ~ AGAIN? May 09 12:56:53 issue basically is, the carrier's GPRS connection data is no longer in the internet connections list May 09 12:59:16 ah, issue got "resolved" by rebooting May 09 13:00:03 #so deleting the gconf files related to IAP/APN/... and rebooting did it... so for next time, which process should I have killed instead? ;) May 09 13:00:45 DocScrutinizer51, merlin1991: bugs on repository.maemo.org: May 09 13:01:27 1. link on http://repository.maemo.org/ point to: http://tablets-dev.nokia.com/eula/index.php instead http://repository.maemo.org/tabletsdev/eula/index.php May 09 13:02:06 2. on page http://repository.maemo.org/tabletsdev/eula/index.php is missing random picture, so it is not possible to rewrite verification code May 09 13:02:19 and thus not possible to accept license May 09 13:03:22 3. on http://repository.maemo.org/tabletsdev/ buttom link "Terms of Use" points to http://repository.maemo.org/legal/terms_of_use.html instead http://repository.maemo.org/tabletsdev/legal/terms_of_use.html May 09 13:05:58 DocScrutinizer05: look ^^^ May 09 13:06:08 already checking May 09 13:06:13 ok May 09 13:06:54 2. is big problem and without it is not possible to add Nokia SDK binaries repository to scratchbox May 09 13:12:58 o.O on 2.

May 09 14:24:31 How do I store a float in a word? May 09 14:24:37 WAAAAAAT? May 09 14:24:52 not at all? May 09 14:25:13 rofl, my boss thinks otherwise. May 09 14:25:25 your boss is A GASHEAD May 09 14:25:39 Is that a German insult? May 09 14:25:45 every idiot knows floats are 64bit and words usually 32 May 09 14:25:56 ... May 09 14:26:06 I thought a word was 2 bytes. May 09 14:26:18 depends May 09 14:26:27 and floats are 32bit ;) May 09 14:26:32 double is 64bit :P May 09 14:26:42 well, ok May 09 14:26:44 but I know what you meant May 09 14:26:49 one just doesn't USE the float type normally May 09 14:26:52 one just always uses double May 09 14:26:55 I already am late with my booze May 09 14:26:57 ;-P May 09 14:27:10 so the typical floating point variable is 64bit, and the typical integer is 32bit May 09 14:27:45 right May 09 14:27:51 that's what i meant May 09 14:27:53 As the number only ranges from 0.5>1.2 I am thinking store it as an integer without the decimal point. Then divide it by 10 when I want to use it. May 09 14:27:53 double is 80bit May 09 14:28:02 no May 09 14:28:04 long double is ;) May 09 14:28:16 ah, yes long double :-) May 09 14:28:35 vi__: that's the right thinking! May 09 14:28:46 stack orientated FPU on x86... May 09 14:28:50 avoid real like the plague May 09 14:29:00 BTW, as for storign a float in a "word" (typically 16bit)... May 09 14:29:00 aka float May 09 14:29:02 nvidia does this :P May 09 14:29:05 it is called the "half" type May 09 14:29:14 a quite inaccurate 16bit floating point type May 09 14:29:32 LOL May 09 14:29:47 so if you need a 16bit float, maybe use nvidia's version to not bring a SECOND 16bit float to the world May 09 14:29:56 x86 has 16bit float too May 09 14:30:00 9 bit mantissa, 2 bit signs, 5 bit exponent? May 09 14:30:35 Pali: x86 has it? didn't know... which instructions? May 09 14:31:30 * DocScrutinizer05 joyfully announces the 32bit FRACTIONAL type May 09 14:31:33 nvidia uses 10bit mantissa, 5bit exponent (no sign, but a shift, as usual), and 1bit sign May 09 14:31:47 DocScrutinizer05: hm... reminds me of AVRational ;) May 09 14:31:49 in libav* May 09 14:32:06 with moving "/" May 09 14:32:13 NOW that is cool May 09 14:32:27 ah, looks like this half precision float is actually standardized May 09 14:32:29 didn't know that May 09 14:32:44 from 1/(2^28) to (2^28)/1 May 09 14:33:44 lol May 09 14:33:46 my May 09 14:33:47 divVerent, CVT16 instruction sets May 09 14:33:49 9 bit mantissa, 2 bit signs, 5 bit exponent? May 09 14:33:56 part of some SSE May 09 14:34:01 wasn't that bad a guess, eh? EH?? May 09 14:34:06 There is a special place in the lowest circles of programmers hell for the sins I have committed. May 09 14:35:10 * DocScrutinizer05 claims (C)2013-JR on FRACTIONAL data type May 09 14:36:16 vi__: your previous post sounded muuuuuch better May 09 14:36:46 divVerent, I think that half is part of AVX May 09 14:37:23 DocScrutinizer05, something from IBM support decimal FPU :D May 09 14:38:08 but not FRACTIONAL May 09 14:38:14 1/3 May 09 14:38:17 ;-P May 09 14:38:45 3/2 May 09 14:39:21 (the latter doesn't work on binary, I heard) May 09 14:40:12 the former obviously not in decimal and binary May 09 14:40:40 Well it works. I guess the take home lesson here is your boss does not care how it is done, just that it is done! May 09 14:42:22 the boss has foolish ideas how stuff should get done May 09 14:43:00 for a n.n (or 9.9, in COBOL) you NEVER use float! May 09 14:43:15 you shift decimal one digit, and use int May 09 14:43:52 [2013-05-09 16:27:53] As the number only ranges from 0.5>1.2 I am thinking store it as an integer without the decimal point. Then divide it by 10 when I want to use it. May 09 14:44:50 if only fsckng qt devels knew May 09 14:45:03 The space on the flash memory was allocated as 2 bytes some years ago. May 09 14:45:33 TBH I do not understand why. May 09 14:45:36 ummm, so what? May 09 14:46:07 So I have a file that hard allocates >150 variables on a flash memory. May 09 14:46:21 and I want to make one in the middle bigger. May 09 14:46:41 o.O May 09 14:47:05 wnat to make it *bigger*? WHY? May 09 14:47:54 because I cannot store a FP in a word! May 09 14:48:49 nobody ever needs FP May 09 14:49:14 except astronomy May 09 14:51:19 even when you juggle with USA state debit, you still don't want to use float, rather use int64 then May 09 14:51:40 ;-P May 09 15:29:00 DocScrutinizer05: Decimal ftw May 09 15:31:20 or Fraction, too May 09 15:34:00 I bricked my N900, a question, is it possible to charge the battery somehow? I don't have much left on it also which PR1.3 should I use, don't seem to be any global versions at skeiron.org May 09 15:34:46 found it the global version of 1.3 May 09 15:34:51 ~pr131 May 09 15:34:52 somebody said combined was the rootfs fiasco image of maemo. For N900 latest (PR1.3.1) see http://maemo.cloud-7.de/maemo5/fiasco+co/RX-51_2009SE_21.2011.38-1_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin or http://nds2.fds-fire.nokia.com/fdp/interface/FiRe/2011/9/--FID--A0A22MVWFVFAM/--LID--FiRe1317015685654/RX-51_2009SE_21.2011.38-1_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin May 09 15:35:02 saves you the initial update May 09 15:35:09 and... mmh May 09 15:35:37 one thing you can do is load rescueOS and charge from there, if you must May 09 15:36:07 how do you do that? May 09 15:37:21 ~rescueOS May 09 15:37:22 rumour has it, rescue-os is http://206.253.166.96/N900/rescueOS/ May 09 15:37:28 read the README May 09 15:37:35 thanks May 09 15:37:49 i assume your condition is such that you can't boot to charge and you can't flash because of low battery? May 09 15:40:23 yeah May 09 15:43:59 classic deadlock May 09 15:44:15 rescueOS FTW May 09 15:55:32 the led is shining yellow (not blinking) this how it supposed to be when charging the battery? May 09 15:56:46 sorry, din't read to the end May 09 16:13:03 emergency charge won't charge the battery enough May 09 16:13:51 so 100% emergency charge is like 20% normal charge or? May 09 16:19:17 if i good think emegrency work to definied amount of battery power, and when charge to that switch to normal charging mode... May 09 16:30:51 ~tell Trizt about flatbatrecover May 09 16:31:16 flatbatrecover? May 09 16:31:32 DocScrutinizer05: tell more, please May 09 16:31:45 o.O May 09 16:31:54 DocScrutinizer05: do we know if nolo will let you /load/ kernel+initrd when the battery is too low? May 09 16:32:03 [2013-05-09 18:30:52] told Trizt about flatbatrecover (Remove battery for 1 minute. Insert battery. Plug powered ***NOKIA WALLCHARGER*** to device. Watch steady amber. Let sit and charge. Do NOT try to boot. After 30 min, you got either a) a booted up N900, b) flashing amber which means you can boot, c) steady amber going off - in this case start over again with ~flatbatrecover) May 09 16:33:00 kerio: not yet May 09 16:33:14 still nobody tested it *and* reported May 09 16:33:47 Hmm May 09 16:37:28 what works for sure (though only theoretically) was loading a special build of uBoot for "coldflashing" RAM borne 1st stage BL, which would just do charging and nothing else May 09 16:37:59 since there's no such special uBoot, it's a theoretical option only May 09 16:41:41 Had been nice to be able to chroot it and just rerun the kernel update, then all had been fixed May 09 16:43:46 kerio: however, since when NOLO doesn't even *start* flashing when battery is too low, it has no way to notice you want to ramload instead of flash to NAND May 09 16:43:58 :( May 09 16:45:41 kerio: so, the question is: will NOLO come up with NOKIA screen **and USB icon**, and stay in flashing mode, when Trizt holds 'u' button during the moment when amber steady LED stops shining and NOLO gets booted? I guess we already know the answer: no, probably not. May 09 16:51:22 DocScrutinizer05, how hard is to write ARM ASM code for direct access to bq2415x charger via I2C? May 09 16:51:37 not hard May 09 16:51:54 since I2C is a IP block May 09 16:52:09 afaik May 09 16:52:11 and what needs to be inlitialized/called if we want to make that asm code as "bootloader" May 09 16:52:32 uboot is big so we cannot load it via colflash :-( May 09 16:52:52 means you write addr of peripheral chip to one register of interface, chip register addr to another, and data to a third May 09 16:53:54 (what needs initialization) well, just about the same stuff as for beagleboard, I guess May 09 16:54:04 or was it pandaboard? May 09 16:55:10 the flatbat didn't work, started to "reboot" all the time May 09 16:55:38 that's what it does as soon as battery is full enough to actually boot up the CPU May 09 16:55:57 so emergency charging worked like a charm May 09 16:56:45 flatbatrecover is meant for otherwise intact systems May 09 16:57:00 it won't magically fix your NAND for you May 09 17:00:56 look, there's a battery level threshold at which the CPU can boot (what we all usually call boot is actually mostly the system init process of linux, *boot* is when cpu starts to execute commands) May 09 17:03:51 when battery is too weak to start up CPU (alias boot), then flatbatrecovery aka emergency hw charging kicks in. eventually battery trips the boot threshold and NOLO bootloader gets executed. It's NOLO which a) stops emergency charging, and b) decides to directly boot into a (possibly messed up & broken) linux to continue charging under sw control, when battery is considered too weak for flashing May 09 17:05:09 when your rootfs is messed up, that sw charging never will happen, and after a few 10s of seconds the latest battery is empty to the level of hard system shutdown, at which point emergency charging kicks in again May 09 17:06:04 ---> bootloop May 09 17:15:57 So I got myself Micro USB ports to solder onto my n900 which has a very loose one. Any hints for me to follow? Things to not forget, to take care of, etc? May 09 17:21:08 thanks for the explanation Doc, now I have to try to remember how to use dpkg and see if I can't fix it by uninstall ipv6 support and reininstall kernel May 09 17:21:20 DocScrutinizer05: thats is good to learn bot about bootloop i think clearly explained... thanks for that too helpfull for me a lot... May 09 17:28:17 ~usbfix May 09 17:28:19 hmm... usbfix is http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=75920 - and **NEVER** use epoxy (unless you want to seal your device for underwater) May 09 17:28:20 muellisoft: ^ May 09 17:28:51 wow. thx kerio. Let me save that for later. May 09 17:30:17 Trizt: hold on, how do you get to a point where you could do that? May 09 17:31:26 keiro: rescueOS mount-maemo May 09 17:31:52 hmm... seems rescueOS changes MAC on the wifi May 09 17:33:42 Trizt: hold on, you can just charge and then reflash May 09 17:35:14 kerio: I rather not reflash as I don't want to fix everything after the flashing, I flash if the reinstall fails May 09 17:35:32 remember to keep /opt/ mounted in your chroot jail May 09 17:36:32 yeah, thanks for the pointer there May 09 17:57:51 infobot: ping May 09 17:57:52 ~pong May 09 18:00:40 but how to watch youtube on n900? May 09 18:01:26 I tested all youtube clients... mytube cutetube *qml* and zoutube ytube... nothing works May 09 18:02:22 zammy: cutetube May 09 18:02:31 well actually I could not install cutetube May 09 18:02:33 idk why May 09 18:03:14 error information? problems tab output? May 09 18:03:47 wait... I am going to seek for more detail May 09 18:06:01 it slows down a lot during application manager May 09 18:06:53 alright cutetube 1.4.1 May 09 18:07:01 11,1 mb downloading May 09 18:07:37 now May 09 18:08:27 after downloaded it says Impossible to download 'cuteTube'... app package not found... May 09 18:09:43 B-þ May 09 18:09:44 repository issue? as 1.4.1 isn't in the repo's according to package iface. May 09 18:10:09 ok May 09 18:10:17 now I deactivated the extra May 09 18:10:21 on repo May 09 18:10:30 anyway only the latest from devel will work due to youtube changing things every 6 mths. May 09 18:10:36 repository.maemo.org/extras-devel/pool/fremantle/free/c/cutetube/cutetube_1.7.2_armel.deb May 09 18:10:57 alright May 09 18:11:05 I was totally wrong May 09 18:11:06 thx May 09 18:13:01 zammy: 1.7.2 definitely works I have used since it's realise with no issues. May 09 18:14:28 ok May 09 18:14:38 but now it asks me other packages May 09 18:14:59 such as libqtm-12 and ffmpeg May 09 18:15:35 can you suggest me the right way to write the repository on catalogs please? May 09 18:18:09 asks you to install other packages? how are you installing? May 09 18:18:33 app manager May 09 18:18:47 shall I use not the default app manager?

May 09 18:43:55 freemangordon: thumb wiki ok? :) May 09 19:23:27 Hi, MohammadAG. Do you know what command-line I can use to launch a new terminal window? May 09 19:33:41 osso-terminal? May 09 19:36:52 MohammadAG: Thank you! Can I ask you (or anyone else here) one other question? In what directory do I find the desktop icons? I can't seem to find a clear answer by Google search, and icons (shortcuts and widgets) keep disappearing from my desktop. May 09 19:38:03 Typing "osso-terminal" doesn't seem to launch the terminal (or anything else) ... May 09 19:38:35 found it: osso-xterm May 09 19:39:01 yes osso-xterm.... May 09 19:39:29 tab button is the way to find out most of things May 09 19:39:46 I presum to find all with tab actually XD May 09 19:39:57 sorry, been a long time since I've used my N900 :( May 09 19:40:00 kwtm /usr/share/icons/ May 09 19:40:12 /usr/share/applications/hildon/ for the .desktop files May 09 19:40:26 icons can be spread out May 09 19:40:35 the tab tip is a fundamental overall linux matter May 09 19:40:41 from what trx said to /usr/share/pixmaps to somewhere in /opt May 09 19:40:53 and dos too if you think at May 09 19:40:58 yeah, /usr/share/icons/ is in opt May 09 19:41:04 as i remember May 09 19:41:08 as a symbolic link May 09 19:41:25 MohammadAG: O no! You haven't used for N900 for a long time? Does that mean we poor mortals will slowly suffocate to death? Or is there some other scriptable smartphone we can use? May 09 19:42:03 I even bought a second N900 in case my first one dies, because ... well, with what else can I use vim to make a phone call? :P May 09 19:43:19 MohammadAG, if you are going to learn the most used, or maybe all, command lines to use by a linux OS as maemo is linux OS as well then I suggest you this http://www.linuxguide.it/command_line/linux_commands_en.html May 09 19:44:57 zammy: ?? Why are you telling MohammadAG this? He doesn't know Linux cmd lines? May 09 19:53:34 hahahahaha amazing May 09 19:56:39 just to make it refresh memory I 'd keep really in care that link anyway even if I know some linux cmd lines May 09 19:57:14 no intention to offense anyone... May 09 19:57:36 not really May 09 23:30:44 is something wrong with skeiron repositories? May 09 23:31:24 package downloads are taking forever May 09 23:41:54 hello?
