Dec 02 09:39:38 Australia Dec 02 09:39:41 Brisbane Dec 02 09:39:42 oh Dec 02 09:39:46 that's a bit far from here Dec 02 09:40:11 The repair shops I have seen are the sort that can do screen replacements and things but cant do solder work Dec 02 09:40:26 Still investigating further though, there has to be SOMEWHERE in Brisbane that can do SMT solder work Dec 02 09:40:32 you'd have to search for a real repairment shop Dec 02 09:40:35 some old fashioned one Dec 02 09:41:16 maybe you can go to a technical school, college or university Dec 02 09:41:21 they may do it for you for free Dec 02 09:41:34 that's what i was gonna offer if you were to be from spain or somewhere Dec 02 09:42:44 right, universities and polytechnics always have electronics department Dec 02 09:43:10 if you know someone studying there they may get to help you Dec 02 09:43:20 we've fixed here several things for friends of mine Dec 02 09:44:02 Unfortunatly I dont know anyone who works/studies at any of those sort of institutions Dec 02 09:44:25 just going there and asking directly might be enough Dec 02 09:44:34 bring gifts, hehe Dec 02 09:44:37 lol Dec 02 09:44:59 I have family who used to work for a university but they dont work there anymore and also they worked in a totally different department Dec 02 09:45:00 you can talk to some pretty student, you may end up with a partner for life and a fixed n900 Dec 02 09:45:03 so that doesn't help Dec 02 09:45:15 :> Dec 02 09:45:39 i'd fix it for you here, but i think shipping costs would be worst than buying a new one Dec 02 09:45:46 jonwil, you know, go to uni, ask for electronics/technical department, go there and ask some randoms there directly Dec 02 09:46:07 that may work indeed Dec 02 09:46:16 there's always someone who is eager to fix something Dec 02 09:46:45 being also that the usb fix is pretty quick and easy Dec 02 09:47:01 it's not like you're going to steal 2 hours from anybody Dec 02 09:48:01 also, its all about being convincing Dec 02 09:48:34 and nice and being ready to pay a couple beers Dec 02 09:49:15 yup Dec 02 09:50:16 and another place where you can get info/find someone skilled is electronics shop (but the parts one, not the a-v) Dec 02 09:50:42 the more detailed parts, the better chance there is someone knowledgeable Dec 02 09:50:53 they can even know someone who repairs things Dec 02 09:52:35 one can never even imagine what six-pack of beer can buy... Dec 02 09:52:56 especially if speaking about students Dec 02 10:01:07 (side note: i wonder how easy/difficult it would be to get a reddit client for N900) Dec 02 10:01:23 sicelo, write one? Dec 02 10:01:35 it should be very easy in pygtk Dec 02 10:02:14 also, beware of reddit Dec 02 10:02:27 ^ +1 Dec 02 10:04:42 what does it do .. Dec 02 10:04:51 eats your life Dec 02 10:05:36 if you have family, work, hobbies, dont get hooked up on reddit Dec 02 10:05:54 it's just as bad as IRC then :) Dec 02 10:06:10 yeah, good analogy Dec 02 10:06:14 but its worse than irc Dec 02 10:07:00 Hmmm, there IS a hackerspace in Brisbane. Maybe that might be a way to find some help... Dec 02 10:07:37 Hmmm, they have an IRC channel right here on Freenode, lets pop into that channel and see whats up Dec 02 10:11:08 :) Dec 02 10:16:23 KotCzarny: not going to have those problems. i don't have that kind of time at my disposal. Dec 02 10:16:46 if you say so, he he Dec 02 10:22:05 one needs to limit the amount of visible subreddits ... i removed all the default subreddits, and kept only 16, which relate to topics i have interest in Dec 02 10:22:26 * jonwil is glad he hasn't been sucked into the maw that is reddit Dec 02 10:22:45 * jonwil reads enough web forums and things as it is Dec 02 10:22:47 :) Dec 02 10:38:16 anyone that uses alarmed? it runs scripts as user or root? Dec 02 10:39:53 I use it...can't remember any specifics, been ages since last touched it, it just does some housekeeping for me Dec 02 10:44:02 i want to use it more :) Dec 02 10:44:31 make it run a script that echoes the user to a file :) Dec 02 10:49:41 it's user .. hmm Dec 02 11:00:46 i use it to run some scripts Dec 02 11:01:01 as user that is Dec 02 11:12:42 i see now that my command was actually running successfully Dec 02 11:22:08 sicelo: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/12/reditr-reddit-desktop-app-for-ubuntu-deb-download i wonder what is it based on Dec 02 11:24:38 o!

Dec 02 11:28:11 I posted in the forum of the hackerspace I found asking if anyone can help me with my N900 USB repair, hopefully someone there can either help me out (e.g. at their next open meeting) or point me in the direction of someone who can Dec 02 11:56:42 zGrr: that is more of a matter of psychiatrist ;) Dec 02 12:16:38 Vajb: which one? Dec 02 12:16:39 :) Dec 02 12:27:22 umm, former Dec 02 12:27:53 yes, right Dec 02 12:37:36 ~botsnack Dec 02 12:37:36 :), DocScrutinizer51 Dec 02 12:43:33 ~usbfix Dec 02 12:43:34 it has been said that usbfix is http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=75920 - and **NEVER** use epoxy (unless you want to seal your device for underwater), or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYz5nIHH0iY#t=1866, you will basically need two irons: a small good one (or better hot-air reflow) and a 60+ Watt Dec 02 12:45:53 Looks like I may have found a hackerspace with people who might be able to help me fix my USB port Dec 02 12:46:02 jonwil, hooray!

Dec 02 14:58:08 it was playing an mp3 and hung Dec 02 14:58:21 now process is killed and cpu load normal (low) Dec 02 14:58:56 hmm Dec 02 14:58:59 and i can start an application again Dec 02 15:00:40 if you happen to make it repeatable, let me know Dec 02 15:00:58 ok Dec 02 16:36:05 179'th Dec 02 16:37:11 openbot: help Dec 02 16:37:39 Me ?

Dec 02 21:16:39 Should mean I dont have to leave the community and stop working on software stuff :) Dec 02 21:17:25 jonwil: BTW, if you still wonder what to RE, look at x86 version of fir_eq_.... functions. Dec 02 21:17:33 ok Dec 02 21:17:34 oh, still having that issue? Dec 02 21:17:40 (USB port) Dec 02 21:17:52 yes Dec 02 21:18:06 I found a local hackerspace that runs an "open evening" on tuesday nights Dec 02 21:18:10 and they can help me fix it Dec 02 21:18:36 BTW, don;t worry, if you can;t find a way to fix it, I am sure the community or neo900 will find a way to send you a new device. If not, I will :) Dec 02 21:18:55 great Dec 02 21:19:44 jonwil: x96 versions have all (or most of) the variable names in DWARF info Dec 02 21:19:49 *x86 Dec 02 21:19:51 neat Dec 02 21:20:36 and they seem ~100% same to what we have in fremantle Dec 02 21:20:58 :) Dec 02 21:23:12 there *is* some NEON-optimized stuff, but I think it is only one simple for() loop, which I will RE instead of the C code when it comes to it Dec 02 21:23:53 Will do if I get the chance (busy with other non-N900 stuff right at this minute :) Dec 02 21:24:04 oh, no hurry Dec 02 21:24:22 aep is going to be the hardest part to reverse engineer Dec 02 21:24:22 * freemangordon gtg to work as well :) Dec 02 21:24:30 yeah, it'll be a nightmare Dec 02 21:24:43 eq stuff is easy Dec 02 21:25:47 I've almost finished a_equ(), which is used for iir fitering Dec 02 21:26:23 seems fremantle version is not NEON-optimized, while Harm is Dec 02 21:26:53 anyway, gtg, bye Dec 02 21:27:03 ok, cya Dec 02 21:29:32 fmg, thats a good and bad news Dec 02 21:32:46 why is it bad? Dec 02 21:33:01 because xprot probably is not optimized Dec 02 21:59:41 KotCzarny: xprot is 1 - optimized and 2 - unrelated :) Dec 02 22:00:00 so xprot isnt doing eq too? Dec 02 22:00:13 it is, but using different algo Dec 02 22:00:13 thought it was all in one piece of software Dec 02 22:00:25 no, it is spread all over the place Dec 02 22:01:03 still, making PA not eating cpu would be great Dec 02 22:01:15 (ie. moving algo wholly to dsp) Dec 02 22:01:21 freemangordon: hi friend! Dec 02 22:01:37 DocScrutinizer51: hi! what's up?

Doesn't affect my need to get my current primary every-day-use N900 fixed before I go on holidays on the 20th of December though (since getting any kind of replacement N900 by then isn't going to happen) Dec 02 22:58:52 good luck Dec 02 23:01:30 The guys at the hackerspace say they can help me with the USB port repair Dec 02 23:03:53 they have the gear to do fiddly soldering Dec 02 23:04:05 and they have an open meeting on Tuesday that I plan to go do Dec 02 23:59:47 :-D Dec 03 00:07:54 jonwil: if the traces are gone, then it won't be fixable Dec 03 00:08:12 No indication the traces are gone yet Dec 03 00:08:16 okay Dec 03 00:08:21 otherwise you can just get a battery charger Dec 03 00:08:29 and an extra battery Dec 03 00:09:22 As of right now bq27200.sh clearly indicates its charging Dec 03 00:09:46 with a positive value for mA Dec 03 00:54:36 n8 **** ENDING LOGGING AT Thu Dec 03 03:01:11 2015
