**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Jun 02 02:59:58 2013 Jun 02 09:09:44 good morning Jun 02 11:39:53 A wonderful splendid Sunday to You all! Jun 02 13:16:10 moinmoin Jun 02 13:16:25 Morning Jun 02 13:16:30 Hi. Jun 02 13:16:50 moin Jun 02 13:17:41 was just about to report that m.o is extreeemly slow, but right now it's very snappy again Jun 02 13:23:54 yeah, it's quite changing. Nagios already tagged the www port80 service as "CRITICAL flapping" Jun 02 13:25:09 ganglia even had a stall for quite a time, until I restarted it Jun 02 13:25:45 strange enough load is pretty low, but general traffic on whole system is really high Jun 02 13:26:16 or rather been Jun 02 13:26:50 what's the difference in load/general traffic? Jun 02 13:26:59 the (probably mirroring) attacker anyway seems has finished his maxing out of upling some 10min ago Jun 02 13:27:29 load is CPU, traffic is tcp Jun 02 13:27:38 simplified explanation Jun 02 13:27:40 ok Jun 02 13:28:00 s/tcp/ethernet/ Jun 02 13:28:58 THEHECK! ganglia on www down again Jun 02 13:29:27 monitor.m.o if you're interested Jun 02 13:32:50 that guy uploadedß Jun 02 13:32:54 ? Jun 02 13:38:37 well, no. MRTG shows that uplink just sent to internet with 100Mbps Jun 02 13:38:43 rcv been low Jun 02 13:39:03 that means somebody downloaded stuff, not uploaded Jun 02 13:39:37 but that seems not the root cause of www lags, nor of ganglia daemon lockups Jun 02 13:41:22 http: //monitor . maemo . org/ganglia/?r=4hr&cs=&ce=&c=maemo&h=www&tab=m&vn=&mc=2&z=medium&metric_group=ALLGROUPS actually Network on www been pretty low Jun 02 13:47:23 phew... no idea Jun 02 13:48:50 xes tuned www apache parameters quite a bit during last 2 days, since on friday the poor VM been really crying Jun 02 13:49:16 OOM kicked processes like mad, due to apached processes hogging all RAM Jun 02 13:50:39 so we reduced resources allocated to apache _drastically_ which seems to have helped cure the RAM hogging ( http://monitor.maemo.org/ganglia/graph_all_periods.php?h=www&m=load_one&r=hour&s=by%20name&hc=4&mc=2&st=1369975318&g=mem_report&z=large&c=maemo ) but also seems to have reduced the responsiveness way more than we expected Jun 02 13:55:57 probably tweak the values again less conservative? Hopefully somebody with better knowledge can help. Jun 02 13:56:42 we still see those bursts every morning 6:00 http://monitor.maemo.org/ganglia/?c=maemo&h=www&m=mem_report&r=custom&s=by%20name&hc=4&mc=2&cs=6%2F1%2F2013%205%3A29&ce=6%2F1%2F2013%2011%3A21 Jun 02 13:57:38 http://monitor.maemo.org/ganglia/?r=custom&cs=06%2F02%2F2013+05%3A29+&ce=06%2F02%2F2013+11%3A21+&c=maemo&h=www&tab=m&vn=&mc=2&z=medium&metric_group=ALLGROUPS Jun 02 13:58:48 but those might be our well-hated cronjobs, we will give more resources to apache nevertheless Jun 02 13:59:41 our approach been to cut down resources for apache radically and observe for the weekend, then evaluate and re-adjust based on our findings Jun 02 14:02:30 great, I'm an idiot posting the ganglia URLs here Jun 02 14:10:03 ((Hopefully somebody with better knowledge can help.)) I think our knowledge is sufficient, it's just our historical data that's sparse, to base the optimal settings for apache on Jun 02 14:10:23 thanks nevertheless for trusting in your techstaff team :-D Jun 02 14:10:40 ;-) Jun 02 14:11:44 another 32GB of RAM would do wonders I bet Jun 02 14:14:10 a 64GB ram total for THREE blades would be a dream Jun 02 14:16:00 and another 2TB storage on skeiron also could help take out some pressure Jun 02 14:16:11 another 32GB of RAM - how much $ would that be? Jun 02 14:16:39 * DocScrutinizer05 knew this question would come up Jun 02 14:17:15 can we afford it with some donations? Jun 02 14:17:20 a few hundred Jun 02 14:18:10 I can't find the invoice/specs-sheet/order for the supermicro right now Jun 02 14:18:16 Thank god RAM is pretty cheap per GB these days. Jun 02 14:19:12 Raimu: it's probably 32GB of ECC RAM Jun 02 14:19:21 yep, not that expensive Jun 02 14:19:50 DocScrutinizer05: how many GB per DIMM needed to get 32GB on the server? Jun 02 14:19:53 http://www.supermicro.nl/support/resources/mem.cfm Jun 02 14:20:04 4GB RDIMM is peanuts Jun 02 14:20:22 http://www.supermicro.nl/products/system/2u/2027/SYS-2027TR-HTRF.cfm?parts=SHOW Jun 02 14:20:52 > >2. Up to 256GB DDR3 1600MHz ECC Registered DIMM; 8x DIMM sockets<< Jun 02 14:21:01 how many of them are populated? Jun 02 14:21:12 err, one or two Jun 02 14:21:41 that's the problem, per blade we have two slots iirc Jun 02 14:22:17 err nope Jun 02 14:22:23 http://www.supermicro.nl/products/motherboard/Xeon/C600/X9DRT-HF.cfm Jun 02 14:23:03 each such blade consist of two systems Jun 02 14:23:31 DocScrutinizer05: interesting, that's a two-node blade? Jun 02 14:23:36 we got 4 blades = 8 potential systems, of which two (blade-a, blade-b) are populated Jun 02 14:23:53 I thought it was a dual-socket node. Jun 02 14:23:54 rikanee: yes Jun 02 14:24:48 well, I thought we have two separate systems on each blade. Might however also be dual-socket system per blade Jun 02 14:25:32 DocScrutinizer05: so each node has 2x2GB DDR3 RDIMM? Jun 02 14:25:50 ugh? no Jun 02 14:25:58 each blade has 32GB Jun 02 14:26:19 I *think* in 2 SIMM a 16GB Jun 02 14:26:40 ah, so 2x8GB per node, making 32GB/blade. Jun 02 14:26:55 no Jun 02 14:27:19 1x16GB per node x2? Jun 02 14:27:19 we have one processor and 2*16GB, on two physical blades Jun 02 14:27:26 ouch! Jun 02 14:27:34 ouch? Jun 02 14:27:36 16GB DIMMs are /expensive/ Jun 02 14:27:57 toldya, a frw hundred Jun 02 14:28:01 few* Jun 02 14:28:03 (to match them for dual-channel operation, of course) Jun 02 14:29:35 http://wiki.maemo.org/Migrating_to_Community-driven_Infrastructure#Operational_Platform Jun 02 14:29:49 from specs: "Support ECC and non-ECC UDIMMs" Jun 02 14:30:08 Win7Mac: running UDIMM on a server is a no-no Jun 02 14:31:00 ah ok Jun 02 14:33:09 * rikanee reminds myself that I will never, ever be able to bump against my processor's 144GB RAM limit Jun 02 14:37:49 http://wstaw.org/m/2013/06/02/plasma-desktopVf3743.png <- server component list Jun 02 14:38:33 so 8 * 8GB Jun 02 14:38:45 4 per blade Jun 02 14:40:57 DocScrutinizer05, should I do a Twitter plug? "A new blade for maemo.org was discussed in the last council meeting, hit DocScrutinizer's PayPal if you'd like to help out." Or something <140 chars. Jun 02 14:42:04 GeneralAntilles: I wouldn't mind, though I honestly think HiFo shall pay it, they already gathered >4000bucks Jun 02 14:42:37 the birdseed for populating a third blade is ~1000EUR IIRC Jun 02 14:42:49 plus HDD? Jun 02 14:43:00 For replenishing the 4k, then. Jun 02 14:43:22 you're free to amazon/ebay/google the components according to http://wstaw.org/m/2013/06/02/plasma-desktopVf3743.png Jun 02 14:44:11 8x 240-pin DDR3 DIMM sockets Jun 02 14:44:20 so RAM can't be added but has to be replaced by 16GB modules because all slots already in use? Jun 02 14:44:20 Supports up to 256 GB DDR3 ECC Registered memory (RDIMM) Jun 02 14:44:28 Supports up to 64 GB DDR3 ECC/non-ECC Un-Buffered memory (UDIMM) Jun 02 14:44:52 Win7Mac: still to be evaluated Jun 02 14:45:23 DocScrutinizer05: you'll have to make sure timing/latency and ranking is the same too Jun 02 14:45:27 having only one CPU populated might restrict DIMM slot usage to 4 of the 8 Jun 02 14:46:02 rikanee: there's a comprehensive memory population guide in the blades' UM Jun 02 14:46:19 I'm just too lazy to read it right now Jun 02 14:46:43 I only specs, but what RAM models actually in use? Jun 02 14:46:53 i *see Jun 02 14:47:27 rikanee: anyway, you're absolutely right Jun 02 14:47:30 thanks Jun 02 14:47:32 OK: https://twitter.com/GeneralAntilles/status/341204117290631171 Jun 02 14:47:53 Win7Mac: http://wstaw.org/m/2013/06/02/plasma-desktopVf3743.png Jun 02 14:48:23 PC3-12800 Jun 02 14:48:36 PC3-12800R CL11 Jun 02 14:49:48 in order to add RAM we'd have to know what exactly is place now, maker/model Jun 02 14:49:51 no idea about the brand Jun 02 14:50:26 I don't think that's generally true, just for same bank Jun 02 14:50:39 DocScrutinizer05: apparently, the Xeon E5 can't do PC3-12800 on factory dividers, so you can save some cash by buying PC3-10600 instead Jun 02 14:50:40 or channel, or whatever Jun 02 14:52:05 rikanee: I'd like to go with http://www.supermicro.nl/support/resources/mem.cfm Jun 02 14:52:38 and http://www.supermicro.nl/support/resources/memory/X9_DP_memory_config.pdf Jun 02 14:53:45 Oh, supermicro Jun 02 14:53:52 Takes me back Jun 02 14:54:14 so there should be 4 slots available Jun 02 14:58:46 http://www.heise.de/preisvergleich/?cat=ramddr3regecc&sort=p&v=e&xf=254_1600~440_registered+ECC~1454_8192~253_32768#xf_top Jun 02 14:59:11 in case they match Jun 02 15:04:05 hmm yup, ~300bucks per 32GB sounds correct Jun 02 15:05:00 ((so there should be 4 slots available)) still unclear, might need a 2nd CPU on the blade to use them Jun 02 15:05:13 but yes, 4 are free Jun 02 15:05:32 4 are used by 4 * 8GB Jun 02 15:08:09 supermicro certifies for hynix, samsung, and micron: http://www.supermicro.nl/support/resources/memory/display.cfm?mspd=1.6&mtyp=44&id=EC81948532EA8BE7088BA17CAAA244F4&prid=82621&type=DDR3&ecc=1®=1&fbd=0 Jun 02 15:08:58 for 4GB modules: http://www.supermicro.nl/support/resources/memory/display.cfm?sz=4.0&mspd=1.6&mtyp=44&id=EC81948532EA8BE7088BA17CAAA244F4&prid=82621&type=DDR3&ecc=1®=1&fbd=0 Jun 02 15:11:10 if you're lucky it's the samsungs: http://www.server-ram.de/ddr3-ram/samsung-m393b5273dh0-ck0-m393b5273dh0-ck0.html Jun 02 15:14:48 nope, those: http://www.server-ram.de/ddr3-ram/samsung-m393b1k70dh0-yh9-m393b1k70dh0-yh9.html Jun 02 15:16:18 sure? they are Low Voltage only Jun 02 15:16:44 yeah Jun 02 15:16:55 gooood ;-) Jun 02 15:17:39 M393B1K70DH0-CK0 Jun 02 15:17:44 we need Jun 02 15:18:43 populated with K4B2G0446D-HCK0 Jun 02 15:19:35 or M393B2G70BH0-CK0 16GB modules ;-) Jun 02 15:20:39 "yeah" wasn't "yeah, i'm sure" but "yeah, you're right, those are low voltage and probably the wrong ones" Jun 02 15:22:11 when you buy, make sure it's a kit or they have serials in a row Jun 02 15:22:33 :nod: Jun 02 15:22:40 usually that's given Jun 02 15:39:04 hey guys Jun 02 15:39:10 have a lil question, Jun 02 15:39:31 i wanted tu put a user on ignore, i used /ignore nick ALL Jun 02 15:39:43 but when they change nick they get unignored, Jun 02 15:39:54 on xchat that is Jun 02 15:39:56 well, that's irc Jun 02 15:40:01 can i ignore on ident Jun 02 15:40:04 or ip Jun 02 15:40:10 probably Jun 02 15:40:39 nick!user@hostmask Jun 02 15:40:46 wildcard allowed Jun 02 15:41:53 ignore DocScrutinizer*, or *!joerg_rw@*, or *!*@openmoko/* Jun 02 15:42:07 /hois DocScrutinizer05 Jun 02 15:42:12 /whois DocScrutinizer05 Jun 02 15:42:14 even Jun 02 15:42:31 btw Jun 02 15:42:42 why r 2 of you here Jun 02 15:42:46 05 and 51 Jun 02 15:42:54 other is some bot of yours?

Jun 02 23:35:02 all 4 filled Jun 02 23:35:19 but only 2 sockets populated, on 2 bladed each 1 Jun 02 23:36:03 so we have two blades with one CPU and 2 with 0 CPU Jun 02 23:36:10 Ahhh, OK. Jun 02 23:36:27 Each blade is dual socket? Jun 02 23:36:31 :nod: Jun 02 23:36:42 whats the point of a blade w/o cpu? Jun 02 23:36:50 Room for expansion? Jun 02 23:36:59 well ok... Jun 02 23:37:17 spae parts ;-P Jun 02 23:37:22 Better answer Jun 02 23:37:22 spare even Jun 02 23:37:26 ok :) Jun 02 23:37:37 Since buying the empty boards ahead seems wasteful. Jun 02 23:38:08 you might need them for thermal concept of enclosure Jun 02 23:38:17 dunno Jun 02 23:38:25 Random interest for the room: Vision for maemo.org in 1 year? 5 years? Jun 02 23:38:45 1 year: much like now Jun 02 23:38:59 5 yeras: almost forgotten Jun 02 23:39:39 and that out of your kb... Jun 02 23:40:28 DocScrutinizer05, Jolla doesn't seem inclined towards managing a user/dev community for itself. Jun 02 23:40:29 like this one: http://apt.rikers.org/%23openmoko/ Jun 02 23:40:54 I wonder if maemo.org might act as an Internet Tablet Talk for modern open source mobile platforms. Jun 02 23:41:20 we started that motion last week iirc Jun 02 23:41:22 (obviously that growth would have to be largely organic) Jun 02 23:41:30 LOL.. Jun 02 23:41:48 That does not require any particularly agreement or cooperation from Jolla. Jun 02 23:42:08 seem some Ryan Abel guy in MWKN wrote about new forums in tmo Jun 02 23:42:11 Reggie's always been very much JFDI with his web forum endeavors. Jun 02 23:42:20 That guy.

Jun 02 23:53:59 GeneralAntilles: 1) clear, community-driven, light-weight HiFo. 2) get hold of everything maemo/meego-related code + rights from NOK. 3) accept + support jolla wherever we can - if they profit, community in general will profit. 4) have proper server-infra to handle additional repos for HARM + sailfish Jun 02 23:54:34 What's the deal with the Harmattan infra and resources? Jun 02 23:54:36 2) there's no such code, just binaries Jun 02 23:54:55 Code you're not going to make progress on. Jun 02 23:55:02 There's nobody left at Nokia who even knows what it is. Jun 02 23:55:05 binaries, whatever there is Jun 02 23:55:26 That horse has been kicked to death already. And yes, it blends. Jun 02 23:55:45 4) sailfish isn't interested in maemo.org infra for their repos and stuff Jun 02 23:56:01 Random note: http://metawatch.com/ Jun 02 23:56:11 STRATA on sale for $129 for Father's Day. Jun 02 23:56:18 (it'll change your life) Jun 02 23:56:56 can it shut down maemo remotely? Jun 02 23:57:06 otherwise it won't, I'm afraid Jun 02 23:57:13 ;-D Jun 02 23:57:50 Having notifications on your wrist is a surprisingly significant change Jun 02 23:57:59 also: a watch you never have to worry about setting again. Jun 02 23:58:10 I rarely ever get any notifications Jun 02 23:58:19 WELL THEN Jun 02 23:58:52 I could use a notification every now and then, about me being hungry Jun 02 23:59:02 You should set an alarm for that Jun 02 23:59:05 WHICH REMINDS ME Jun 02 23:59:44 hilarious Jun 03 00:00:55 I'm procrastinating on MWKN. Jun 03 00:01:22 the only notifications I get (but I'm glad I don't get them when not at home) are of the class >>** PROBLEM Service Alert: www.maemo.org/HTTP is CRITICAL **<< Jun 03 00:01:55 At least it's a lighter issue than last week. Jun 03 00:02:29 thus, give a a watch with maemo-be-gone and it might actually change my life ;-D Jun 03 00:03:27 ...back to somewhat "normal" Jun 03 00:03:54 You'd just find another killer project to kill yourself on. ;) Jun 03 00:04:59 Doc, don't fight it, your next device will be a jolla ;) Jun 03 00:05:25 hardly Jun 03 00:05:34 I have 5 N900 here Jun 03 00:05:45 and I'm ready to use them!!! Jun 03 00:06:02 ...just to be on the safe side, right?! Jun 03 00:06:21 be prepared for the nxt decade Jun 03 00:06:44 honestly the times when I bought a new device every month, to check what funny/cute ideas they had in their hw that I could adopt, are gone Jun 03 00:07:02 never did that Jun 03 00:07:10 Well, good thing it's been 4 years. Jun 03 00:07:12 :P Jun 03 00:07:19 I had to do that, for my job Jun 03 00:08:00 * GeneralAntilles needs more chumps to aggregate news to @mwkn on Twitter. Jun 03 00:08:20 eeek, sunday evening Jun 03 00:08:25 almost forgot Jun 03 00:08:40 actually monday morning Jun 03 00:08:48 GA: well, last meeting was a load Jun 03 00:09:01 indeed, not too bad Jun 03 00:09:24 you probably could pick up one or two details there Jun 03 00:09:56 I always wonder why there's no content here: http://maemo.org/news/ Jun 03 00:10:06 let's see: we started unification of councils... we announced BoD elections Jun 03 00:10:23 ...just the thumbnails right side Jun 03 00:10:32 hmm, dunno Jun 03 00:10:44 probably because nobody writes anything there Jun 03 00:10:46 I've got 4 stories so far: HiFo Board nominations, council meeting logs, Jolla €100 being made available for EU/.ch/.nl, and tabletsdev.maemo.org being up. Jun 03 00:11:09 It should pull the top rated stuff from Planet. Jun 03 00:11:15 But it seems like that component is borked. Jun 03 00:11:22 (That's not me volunteering to fix it) Jun 03 00:11:23 oh yeah, the last one is probably worth a sentence or two Jun 03 00:11:39 DocScrutinizer05, I've got: "The firmware images, flashers, and various development tools for Maemo are now available at maemo.org." Jun 03 00:11:45 Any details to add? Jun 03 00:12:02 URL tabletsdev.maemo.org Jun 03 00:12:36 replacing the long zombie-state tablets-dev.nokia.com (which recently resurrected) Jun 03 00:12:44 Yeah, "URL=http://tabletsdev.maemo.org/" Jun 03 00:14:06 add joergs' paypal in notice to nescessary HW-updates Jun 03 00:14:24 Ah, yes, new blade. Jun 03 00:14:24 we're facing severe problems with autobuilder that need sorting - volunteers welcome Jun 03 00:14:44 DocScrutinizer05, got a link to a blog post or talk thread discussing that? :P Jun 03 00:15:05 not really Jun 03 00:16:19 the old story over and over again: packages hanging in autobuilder queue, not propagating from devel to testing to extras. Accounts not created/synced to builder Jun 03 00:16:22 aso aso Jun 03 00:17:43 a sidenote: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=90314 Jun 03 00:17:46 Get somebody to summarize it in a thread or something. Jun 03 00:17:49 minor issue Jun 03 00:18:16 the problem is, we're not even able to summarize it Jun 03 00:19:09 most problems are hardly completely described, not to ask for understanding their nature Jun 03 00:20:10 dozens of cronjobs are missing, or doing nonsense when running, or simply killing the VM they run on since they eat ram without an end Jun 03 00:20:31 That's fine, but what sort of skillset do you need? Could you estimate what sort of investment would be required from a potential volunteer? That sort of thing. Jun 03 00:20:51 absolutely no clue Jun 03 00:21:26 OK Jun 03 00:21:31 somebody who got that autobuilder installed on his private server maybe Jun 03 00:21:57 or has historical knowledge from the thime that stuff got implemented Jun 03 00:22:27 Probably just X-Fade. Jun 03 00:22:33 yep Jun 03 00:22:34 * GeneralAntilles sighs. Jun 03 00:23:10 Despite a lot of nagging by previous councils, documentation for maemo.org's various custom solutions is nonexistent. Jun 03 00:23:19 and nobody (particularly in Nemein) ever pondered writing a 40pp manual "how to maemo.org" Jun 03 00:23:33 :nod: Jun 03 00:24:11 DocScrutinizer05: doesn't help that practically nobody else uses Midgard Jun 03 00:24:13 and the so-called "knowledge transfer" been paid for by Nokia but actually never really happened Jun 03 00:24:26 rikanee: I know Jun 03 00:24:48 rikanee: volunteering to build that whole POS annew, on wordpress? ;-P Jun 03 00:24:52 side note: whatever happened to RMO moving to use OBS? Jun 03 00:25:27 DocScrutinizer05: Midgard handles way, way, way more than the blog and front page though Jun 03 00:25:45 I can tell you what happened to it: x-fade and javispedro dumped it when it became clear that nokia abandons maemo Jun 03 00:25:54 it's so extensive I have no idea what projects can straight out replace it. Jun 03 00:26:01 I'm really rather surprised at the cost of maemo.org's support contract with Nemein and how little seems to have been done with it. Jun 03 00:26:22 rikanee: in fact it's even bigger than that, it's more than just midgard Jun 03 00:26:40 garage is some other errr system? Jun 03 00:26:44 The big nasty mess that is Midgard + Garage Jun 03 00:26:58 GForge Jun 03 00:27:02 yes, that Jun 03 00:27:08 it's so integrated that it'd take months of full-time work. Jun 03 00:27:10 whatever that is Jun 03 00:27:22 at least months Jun 03 00:28:34 * DocScrutinizer05 wonders if that's the time of day for a glass ABSOLUT100 Jun 03 00:28:45 Would it be easier to jettison autobuilder in favor of OBS? Jun 03 00:28:54 prolly not Jun 03 00:29:11 we don't even understand autobuilder Jun 03 00:29:12 well, how hard would it be to keep maintaining autobuilder? Jun 03 00:29:27 It doesn't even work correctly at the moment, right? Jun 03 00:29:36 it *kinda* works Jun 03 00:29:42 DocScrutinizer05, Sandeman tawny port for me tonight Jun 03 00:29:51 (although I'm beginning to suspect a sensitivity to red grapes) Jun 03 00:29:52 GeneralAntilles: just ask Pali ;) Jun 03 00:29:54 yummy Jun 03 00:30:24 GeneralAntilles: http://maemo.org/packages/repository/builds/fremantle_extras-devel_free_source/all/ Jun 03 00:30:57 What do we think of a subscription option for HiFo donations (e.g., $5/month)? Jun 03 00:31:19 fwiw, steamrolling the entire thing (and finally updating maemo.org/intro) would be easier than trying to keep the maemo.org infra. probably should be played with on a test server. Jun 03 00:31:23 **but** http://maemo.org/packages/view/nelisquare/ Jun 03 00:31:28 after elects probably Jun 03 00:31:49 (get a beer *before* you click the latter)) Jun 03 00:32:23 rikanee, what about Downloads, though? Jun 03 00:32:32 and the social news stuff is pretty involved Jun 03 00:34:41 * DocScrutinizer05 headdesks HARD on >>nelisquare 0.5.0-11 Old version cleaned by repository management<< Jun 03 00:35:02 GeneralAntilles: isn't Downloads a RMO frontend? Replace with COBS and some script to format an RSS feed of newest packages to something nice. As for Maemo News, import it somehow to Wordpress/etc, I guess. Jun 03 00:35:12 GeneralAntilles: THAT is one of our REAL problems *right now* Jun 03 00:35:52 DocScrutinizer05: still no maintainer of autobuilder? Jun 03 00:35:58 no Jun 03 00:36:03 is there no backup at all from before migration? Jun 03 00:36:03 rikanee, the contents of the contract with Nokia may also preclude nuke-and-rebuild. Jun 03 00:36:04 :( Jun 03 00:36:59 GeneralAntilles: the support contract with Nokia (paying to maintain Midgard), or the contract for all the Maemo.org stuff? Jun 03 00:37:06 whatever the contract with nokia says, I for one am not available for a rebuild of this POS, based on... *which* specs Jun 03 00:37:07 ok, I will volunteer, unfortunately am too busy with my job lately, won;t be able to do anything before the next weekend Jun 03 00:37:26 rikanee, the contract HiFo may-one-of-these-day sign to hand over maemo.org to HiFi. Jun 03 00:37:39 s/HiFo/HiFo Board/ Jun 03 00:37:40 GeneralAntilles meant: rikanee, the contract HiFo Board may-one-of-these-day sign to hand over maemo.org to HiFi. Jun 03 00:38:01 * DocScrutinizer05 writes >>Old version cleaned by repository management<< on a glass, and fills in ABSOLUT until the writing vanishes Jun 03 00:38:20 yeesh. We're getting stuck with Midgard? Jun 03 00:38:31 we *are* Jun 03 00:38:32 rikanee, no clue. Jun 03 00:38:57 But, it's unlikely that we'll be able to come up with the volunteers to implement a replacement anytime soon. Jun 03 00:39:00 by any sane rationale we have no options Jun 03 00:39:15 exactly Jun 03 00:39:16 (maybe I should've played the PowerBall a few weeks ago) Jun 03 00:39:50 anytime soon? anytime ever! Jun 03 00:40:09 Optimism, dear DocScrutinizer05. ;) Jun 03 00:40:16 savvy people interested in maemo get fewer by the week Jun 03 00:40:42 whelp. The door should be left open for renovations though, in case the last person savvy with Midgard drops off. Jun 03 00:41:03 There are no Midgard-savvy people. Jun 03 00:41:13 (because nobody uses the damn thing) Jun 03 00:41:20 (especially not the old version we have on maemo.org) Jun 03 00:41:46 * GeneralAntilles just has the last two front-page stories to summarize. Jun 03 00:42:05 Wow, Jaffa's not even on IRC these days. Jun 03 00:42:56 see? Jun 03 00:43:15 Must be busy-busy-busy. Jun 03 00:43:24 number of users in here also drops by the day Jun 03 00:43:51 I'm already waiting for the day when we can't reach 200 Jun 03 00:44:28 Well, no surprise given that we haven't had a new device in years. :P Jun 03 00:44:35 There's hope for the future, though! Jun 03 00:44:51 I'm more often than not felling like flicking a dead horse Jun 03 00:45:49 and the few motivated guys left over waste their energy on maintaining a monster of IT and organizational infra Jun 03 00:46:48 fells like running all town for weeks shouting to find somebody willing to help on a task that you could probably do in a few hours on your own Jun 03 00:46:53 Once we get a contract, we can figure out what can be streamlined, right? Jun 03 00:46:55 feels* dang Jun 03 00:47:19 you can streamline any time you want. You're welcome Jun 03 00:47:46 alas even streamlining is weeks of work Jun 03 00:48:55 somebody had an assignment and was rsponsible for miration#1 where things got fuxored, right? Jun 03 00:48:59 what been that maemo.org blog thing I posted a question why nobody posted anything since 7 months? Jun 03 00:49:06 can't claim anything? Jun 03 00:49:06 I already forgot Jun 03 00:49:38 Win7Mac: been there, done that. Futile Jun 03 00:49:45 please don't ask for details Jun 03 00:49:59 dull... Jun 03 00:50:02 I pushed like an idiot Jun 03 00:50:28 no reaction, no result, nuttin Jun 03 00:50:42 Unfortunate. Jun 03 00:51:18 I asked HiFo to ask Nokia if that migration stuff already been paid, since it's not really been delivered yet Jun 03 00:51:26 response: too late Jun 03 00:52:00 2 months before I *shouted* "does anybody check what's defect in our infra PLEASE?!" Jun 03 00:52:07 no reaction Jun 03 00:54:17 and I asked for feedback from Niels aka x-fade since january. Nothing *ever* happened Jun 03 00:57:27 well, what are the options? ask nemein for an offer on the job Jun 03 00:57:45 then deal about it Jun 03 00:58:05 and have it backuped by funds Jun 03 00:58:19 *donations Jun 03 00:58:37 see meeting 1 week ago (or 2 weeks?), I think I suggested exactly that Jun 03 00:59:21 but I'm just one guy, and even while i'm a badass my powers to move things are limited Jun 03 00:59:49 so HiFo needs to officially ask nemein? Jun 03 01:00:09 and so far nothing that I didn't manage personally and not listened to anybody else really panned out Jun 03 01:00:48 I can't push the whole planet Jun 03 01:01:12 I do see community owes U 1 Jun 03 01:01:23 doesn't help though Jun 03 01:02:41 community owes community to get active Jun 03 01:02:48 I can give suggestions Jun 03 01:03:04 I have no more free hands to push whatever Jun 03 01:03:47 I honestly feel like wasting my time like a wise fool Jun 03 01:05:07 in 5 weeks weather will be fine again. With a working HiFo we'll see what we can do then Jun 03 01:06:08 nothing new Jun 03 01:06:55 and I guess we will have NO hifo in 5 weeks Jun 03 01:07:39 oh comon, i don't even wanna know what your thinking about Jun 03 01:08:11 do you know of any 6 candidates for HiFo? Jun 03 01:08:32 not even asking for *good* candidates Jun 03 01:09:31 the last 8 weeks convinced absolutely *everybody* that HiFo isn't a position you wanna have Jun 03 01:09:53 who wants to join a club that everybody hates? Jun 03 01:10:13 I still can't edit the title of the post :( Jun 03 01:10:17 you won't find any candidates for HiFo, except woody and GA Jun 03 01:10:48 but it's weird: when I click edit on the post, the Title is correct there, but in the tmo thread the old title still appears. Jun 03 01:10:54 Sc0rpius: and I still can't reproduce since *I* for sure can't edit it Jun 03 01:11:13 aren't you a tmo mod? Jun 03 01:11:13 ask tmo maintainer! Jun 03 01:11:18 ME??? Jun 03 01:11:24 :) Jun 03 01:11:58 I already have enough tedious tasks to ruin my day and my life Jun 03 01:12:20 well, why be so pessimistic? 2 are already in, there are potent guys in council(s) and who knows who gets atracted by that banner on tmo? Jun 03 01:12:49 yeah who knows (them) Jun 03 01:13:21 and I can already tell you there's nobody in any council that is eager to become BoD Jun 03 01:13:49 8 weeks ago this was a tad different and my arguments were not as rotten as they are today Jun 03 01:13:57 I'm hoping for some oldschool guys there, though I'm an N9'er Jun 03 01:14:20 the oldschool guys are mostly gone Jun 03 01:14:25 heh Jun 03 01:14:27 or no more interested Jun 03 01:15:23 well, at lest theres council! Jun 03 01:15:38 s/lest/least Jun 03 01:15:57 http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=1347860&postcount=137 to the point, particularly last line Jun 03 01:17:17 yea, copied that. but thats just because of actual personell Jun 03 01:17:17 do you think anybody who's stating >>After all those problems the word HiFo means the pure evil for me<< is willing to stand for BoD elections, to end in same entity with RMB? Jun 03 01:17:51 with RMB? Jun 03 01:18:15 RM Bauer? Jun 03 01:18:39 why is with hih mandatory? Jun 03 01:18:52 +with him, dang Jun 03 01:19:07 not mandatory, just a possibility Jun 03 01:19:20 and not even an unlikely one Jun 03 01:19:37 got that Jun 03 01:21:57 so, we just need enough candidates and GA just made a move! Jun 03 01:23:40 Doc, honestly, give yourself a push for good... Jun 03 01:24:03 look, i had all this sorted some 6..8 weeks ago, I even had a half a dozen willing candidates just waiting to self-nominate as soon as elections got sorted. HFC missed/messed it Jun 03 01:24:23 I'm ***DEFINITELY** out of all that Jun 03 01:24:35 no unwilling? Jun 03 01:24:42 *now Jun 03 01:24:46 yes Jun 03 01:25:13 hmm Jun 03 01:25:32 what's the difference? Jun 03 01:25:52 I failed to deliver Jun 03 01:27:35 smart as you are I'm sure you'll find a way to re-asure them! Jun 03 01:28:06 at least try Jun 03 01:28:24 I made assurances that I thought would almost impossible to break, like HFC picking up on BoD running elections during 14 days after own election Jun 03 01:28:43 and NO, se above Jun 03 01:28:44 i mean honestly wahts the difference? Jun 03 01:28:53 result will be the same Jun 03 01:29:09 just delayed Jun 03 01:29:15 I'm thru with all that Jun 03 01:32:43 and former HiFo alienated community and Nokia so much that now it's really hard to see what for we need a HiFo at all Jun 03 01:34:31 I even start to ponder what's worse, HiFo or Nokia owning the domain and the server Jun 03 01:38:35 Nokia facilitated shipping server to IPHH, HiFo/Rob not only didn't help on that but actually tried to stop Falk from installing it. Ask me from whom I anticipate less stress regarding maemo.org infra maintenance Jun 03 01:40:23 (ok. Rob said that eventually HiFo would compensate me/Falk for shipping costs) Jun 03 01:41:29 just lets make sure we'll get a proper BoD in place, sailfish might open some doors Jun 03 01:43:32 i wonder though, why there's not more devs interested Jun 03 01:44:17 in elections no matter council or BoD Jun 03 01:52:42 Win7Mac, too much toxicity for too long. Jun 03 01:52:59 You could see it in this channel with the release of Harmattan. Jun 03 02:03:36 let me tell you a story. some years ago I pondered writing a commercial app LeastCostRouter that decides which account (GSM, SIP1, SIP2...) to use for outbound calls on N900. For such a thing to work properly I would've needed a way to intercept the call-establish dbus messages from dialer to the telepathy deamon that handles all that call stuff. Or even better have a hook in telepathy to register a callback function or sth, that gets Jun 03 02:03:38 executed on every call-establish to cook the number/account before telepathy establishes it. So I asked the telepathy guys in Colabora Inc(?) who created the fremantle telepathy how to implement such thing. The answer been "meh, why do you want to do that for N900? come to harmattan and get a patch to telepathy there, and everything will be fine". They outright refused to consider N900 a worthwhile platform for any such improvement and Jun 03 02:03:39 actively tried to lure all devels into HARM and abandon fremantle. Jun 03 02:03:57 i just don't get how people could spill poison for things they have no influece on like HARM simply beeing there as a kind of "progress" Nokia made on maemo. kind of same situation with sailfish now Jun 03 02:04:34 see my ^^^ last post Jun 03 02:05:30 DocScrutinizer05: with a major platform change, it's pretty much desperation to get devs on HARM. Jun 03 02:05:49 sure Jun 03 02:08:40 if we get sailfish on N9, community will freak out :O Jun 03 02:09:23 long ago: "if we get harmattan on N900, community will freak out" Jun 03 02:10:53 well, this time community's holding its breath for Jolla instead of watching the slow trainwreck that happened with the N9. Jun 03 02:11:16 "...or `how i learned to love the bomb´" tmo post anybody? Jun 03 02:11:34 i don't expect though, so i won't be disappointed if that doesn't come for N9 Jun 03 02:12:29 I suspect what it's going to come down to is, "Feel free to build an image for N9/N950 from Mer/Nemo." Jun 03 02:12:51 1000% sure Jun 03 02:12:57 They're missing a bigger opportunity than they realize pursuing this slow reveal shit. Jun 03 02:13:15 While the Maemo/MeeGo community moves on to Blackberry and co. Jun 03 02:13:52 But, they need people to buy their phone. Jun 03 02:14:08 For me, that's a small price to pay for a company that (potentially) actually cares about having me as a customer. Jun 03 02:14:35 GeneralAntilles: they've already gone on the record to say that they're not officially building an image for N9/50, people running Sailfish on N9 with comparable performance would really eat into their sales. Jun 03 02:16:00 well thats bad news :( Jun 03 02:16:07 but the hardware adaptation's already done, so assuming they don't password-protect the Sailfish repos, anyone sufficiently dedicated can "zypper install mp-sailfish-999-pr" Jun 03 02:16:10 http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=1312055#post1312055 Jun 03 02:16:21 Meh, it's 2009-era hardware anyway. Jun 03 02:16:32 >>A suggestion to Jolla regarding this: you could port sailfish to N900 as a technology preview...<< Jun 03 02:17:02 DocScrutinizer05: 'lol.' Jun 03 02:17:31 Fremantle on qemu-system-rx51 would run faster than that. Jun 03 02:18:30 eh? Jun 03 02:19:29 AIUI Sailfish is compositing-heavy, which the N900's GPU drivers would not appreciate (RAM would seriously lack, too) Jun 03 02:21:41 well, if compositing (in a way that N900 couldn't do) is a mandatory core system requirement of sailfish, then they already have done sth stillborn Jun 03 02:22:19 sure RAM limitations would most likely slow down stuff massively Jun 03 02:22:36 we see that on fremantle all the time, don't we? Jun 03 02:22:49 OMG, dawn comes around... good night all Jun 03 02:25:09 ...but if they're not even able to run desktop plus one app in a 256MB of RAM, then they also did fail on building a even semi-decent system. Heck I ran a full featured linux on a laptop with 192MB ram and a slooow HDD, powered by a P-II300 Jun 03 02:25:47 and sure openoffice took ~3min to start, but so what, once it been started it worked excellent Jun 03 02:26:17 I accepted the 3 min load time since I knew about my hw Jun 03 02:27:59 and in the end, if sailfish would work *too smooth* on N900, there wasn't a motivation to buy a jolla device, eh? Jun 03 02:29:47 so what would jolla lose by porting sailfish to N900? Jun 03 02:33:11 after all a decent OS should run on a platform half the CPU grunt and RAM size of your target platform you want to ship it on. Otherwise there's no headroom left to do anything useful with the device, once you go beyond the factory default Jun 03 02:35:15 "sorry, no multitasking, no desktop applets - the system is already at 100% with doing what it _must_ do anyway" Jun 03 02:36:45 a warranty for disgruntled customers **** ENDING LOGGING AT Mon Jun 03 02:59:58 2013
