**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Aug 20 03:00:01 2017 Aug 20 05:08:04 sixwheeledbeast^: I lost context Aug 20 05:08:38 sicelo: congrats Aug 20 05:16:05 (( sicelo: looks like it has something muxed on usb)) that's the normal canonical way to have serial console. Other stuff like serial over headset jack is a terrible botch and an abomination. USB has specs for doing serial via D+/D- Aug 20 05:16:50 iirc it's supported on hw level at least in MG MUSB core Aug 20 05:17:43 so it's not exactly muxed, it's rather a genuine alternative operation mode of USB hardware Aug 20 05:18:25 that's probably why a lot of Android phones do exactly that Aug 20 06:19:03 Writing of Android phones, should I be concerned that the internal removable battery of my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (SM-N900W8, the variant for Canada) seems to be bulging? Is the battery supposed to be bulging? I have been using this battery for over 2 years by now because this battery was included with the computer when I bought the computer on eBay in 2015, around May. The computer still seems to work fine. Aug 20 06:19:22 yup, bulging == bad Aug 20 06:20:38 while it may work more or less fine, it's like having time bomb Aug 20 06:22:02 KotCzarny: What is the risk of using a bulging battery? That the battery will explode or catch fire? Why is the battery bulging in the first place? Aug 20 06:22:13 in extreme cases, yes Aug 20 06:23:36 When lithium-ion batteries are over heated, over charged, or simply failing due to old age, it's possible for the inner cells of the battery to outgas a flammable electrolyte mixture. This is where the swollen battery effect comes from: the batteries are designed to contain, as a fail safe measure, that out gassing so that it doesn't cause a catastrophic fire. Aug 20 06:24:10 https://www.howtogeek.com/244846/what-to-do-when-your-phone-or-laptop-has-a-swollen-battery/ Aug 20 06:27:06 Is 2 years considered old age for this type of battery? I do not know for how long the battery was used before I bought it as part of the computer. The Galaxy Note 3 was originally released in late 2013, though, so I guess the battery will not be from before 2013 even if the battery is the original battery. Aug 20 06:27:24 my n900's battery is 8 years old Aug 20 06:27:42 but it was treated gently, so it's aging with grace Aug 20 06:27:52 still use it in my main phone Aug 20 06:28:11 if you buy noname battery/cells, it can start aging in few months Aug 20 06:28:56 all it takes is leaving battery empty for a few weeks, then things starting to crystallize inside Aug 20 06:29:17 and then it doesnt matter if it was month old, or few years Aug 20 06:29:25 overheating is similar story Aug 20 06:34:12 Well, in any case, I am glad that I still have an easily removable battery. It sucks that the battery of the BlackBerry Priv and BlackBerry KEYone is non-removable because those are still, as far as I know, the only models of smartphones officially running Android OS version 5 or higher with an integrated hardware keyboard and integrated LTE connectivity. Aug 20 06:34:59 that's what you get for being treated as a product, not a customer Aug 20 07:02:27 BlackBerry (company) used to use removable batteries, at least before the BlackBerry 10 era. Aug 20 07:31:49 {{"anyone having issues with SSL_ERROR_NO_CYPHER_OVERLAP on some pages in MicroB?"}} which pages for others to try. Aug 20 07:52:46 sixwheeledbeast^: that sounds like the ssl lib in microb is so out of date that servers are phasing out support for the ciphers available in it Aug 20 08:13:37 hi all, http://spek.cc/ how can I install it? Aug 20 08:14:21 I tried git download and autogen.sh but it did not Aug 20 08:14:45 https://bpaste.net/show/9f9ca75f282a Aug 20 08:22:29 it seems to me that page https://wiki.maemo.org/Kernel_Power#Uninstalling_kernel-power gives wrong info Aug 20 08:23:12 i uninstalled power kernel by the instructions there and now device wont boot. I guess it doesn't have kernel Aug 20 08:23:29 or proper kernel or something Aug 20 08:24:31 screen lights up shows white background and nokia text then shuts down. White led in down left corner stays on maybe 10 seconds and turns off too Aug 20 08:25:25 so i guess there is nothing else to do than flash it again? Or just flash kernel i guess. Aug 20 08:26:22 you could try rescueOS first, and/or reflash kernel using flasher, assuming you know which kernel you're supposed to flash atm Aug 20 08:27:01 i was going back o stock to get u-boot and have multiple os Aug 20 08:27:07 to* Aug 20 08:27:40 guess i'll just use flasher to flash stock kernel then Aug 20 08:28:14 Using thumb? Aug 20 08:28:17 but that is not too relevant here. More relevant here is that our wiki page gives non-working instructions. Aug 20 08:28:27 cssu-t not thumb Aug 20 08:29:51 I thought the best way was to click the "stock Kernel" icon in the menu? Aug 20 08:31:27 dunno. I followed wiki for a change ;) Aug 20 08:31:30 It's called "Nokia Kernel" this will remove KP and reinstall the stock kernel. The method on the wiki I assume is if you want to remove manually Aug 20 08:33:01 hmm now if i vere adventurous i would try to get power-kernel to device again and check if this approach works Aug 20 08:34:23 the wiki instructions seem fine Aug 20 08:34:38 and they were not placed there without testing them Aug 20 08:34:48 well, apparently... :p Aug 20 08:34:56 99.9% are PEBKAC Aug 20 08:35:52 though admittedly sometimes wili lacks to cover fringe cases Aug 20 08:36:00 wiki* Aug 20 08:37:12 but a quite obvious failure mode would be to not check closely for the reply of install command as suggested in wiki, and just continue despite the procedure failed Aug 20 08:37:42 >>5. Should it complete successfully (with "SIGTERM received" and "Image flashed successfully" messages),<< Aug 20 08:38:16 well i could claim that procedure went through perfectly, but i can't provide any logs of the thing so there is no point. Aug 20 08:38:54 did you check the `ls -l /lib/modules/current` ? Aug 20 08:39:21 i did and it reported back exactly what was told in wiki Aug 20 08:39:34 hmm, strange Aug 20 08:40:22 indeed Aug 20 08:40:30 bencoh's advice to use rescueOS should allow to investigate the issue Aug 20 08:40:46 Do flash only kernel with flasher? Aug 20 08:41:43 did you by any chance "clean up" the kernel modules while you used KP? Aug 20 08:42:59 I mean a "/lib/modules/current -> 2.6.28-omap1" is only 0.1% of the whole thing, there obviously also needs to be a real dir 2.6.28-omap1/ with all the kernel modules for stock kernel Aug 20 08:43:26 i didn't Aug 20 08:43:41 unless power-kernel install does that automaticly? Aug 20 08:44:05 when you deleted that to free some space (assuming it's not needed with powerkernel) and the install-flashing of stock kernel didn't restore it, then your stock kernel won't work even when you flash it via flasher now Aug 20 08:44:17 but would those missing modules result to not succesfull flash of kernel as well? Aug 20 08:44:27 yes Aug 20 08:44:42 flashing kernel does just that Aug 20 08:45:10 while kernel modules are normal files in root-fs Aug 20 08:45:18 i meant "wouldn't it produce some errors for user to see?" Aug 20 08:45:31 no Aug 20 08:46:11 at least I don't think so Aug 20 08:46:14 hmm i c Aug 20 08:46:50 well that is one possibility then, but i never needed to free any space Aug 20 08:47:42 this device barely had anything, but conky, ssh and bunch of things to resolve crashesh Aug 20 08:48:43 you could analyze your last BM-backup of root-fs, it's just a tarball Aug 20 08:48:44 it was maybe a month ago, when i flashed this with lazyflash. Then installed css-t and power-kernel and started solving unstability issues Aug 20 08:49:11 don't have backups of this device :/ Aug 20 08:49:25 that's pretty unfortunate Aug 20 08:50:24 yes. I'll take it as "all life is learning, but there are still some mysteries left" Aug 20 08:51:34 now if there were one voluntee to test the procedure as well. To confirm my result or to pinpoint i made a mistake. Aug 20 09:14:18 can n900's fm transmitter be used below 88mhz? Aug 20 09:15:13 KotCzarny: https://wiki.maemo.org/N900_FM_radio_transmitter Aug 20 09:16:59 76 - 108MHz Aug 20 09:17:22 say "Hello Japan" Aug 20 09:17:31 so no way to make it 27mhz, heh Aug 20 09:17:38 LOL no Aug 20 09:18:12 KotCzarny: what are you trying to achieve? :) Aug 20 09:18:26 me? nothing.. *scuttersaway* Aug 20 09:18:30 riiight Aug 20 09:18:35 also, this is nice: https://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/video4linux/si4713.txt Aug 20 09:18:46 apparently radio quality can be tuned a bit Aug 20 09:22:20 and if v4l2 interface works on n900 it's a nice alternative Aug 20 09:22:31 it does Aug 20 09:22:40 well, iirc it does Aug 20 09:23:59 Vajb: Some of life is teaching, not learning. ;-) Aug 20 09:24:32 did you dispose of that battery already? or waiting for a life's lesson? ;) Aug 20 09:26:04 brolin_empey: i haven't reach teaching phase yet :p Aug 20 09:26:57 KotCzarny: Not yet but I will try to source a replacement battery. I do not have a spare battery and do not want to stop using my handheld computer until I receive a new battery. Aug 20 09:27:25 :> Aug 20 09:28:43 It is around 02:30 on Sunday here. I should be asleep but I slept during the day on Saturday because I have a weak will and am depressed because my life has no direction. Aug 20 09:29:31 have you tried tinkering/creating? helps that part Aug 20 09:33:39 how's that FMTX driver sourcecode relevant for "improve quality" Aug 20 09:36:16 I should try to write a personal advertisement to market myself to young women as a friend inclusive-or romantic partner but I procrastinate because I find writing such a thing very frustrating because I spend a long time trying to decide how to express my thoughts in writing and I do not know what to say nor how to describe myself. Aug 20 09:38:49 you're aware this is just the docs for the driver used in N900? Aug 20 09:39:04 I am an engineer (of some type), not a marketer.

Aug 20 09:41:42 nah, i', out. This starts again Aug 20 10:36:21 i have question about irssi. When on desktop i can change channel window by pressing alt+number. Is this somehow achievable in maemo? Aug 20 10:37:01 i mean directly to jump from say 2 to 9 Aug 20 10:37:05 you'll notice it works with meta Aug 20 10:37:22 meaning pressing/releasing ESC before pressing any digit works as alt+digit Aug 20 10:37:56 I remapped a key combination to act as ESC in rx-51 so that works for me Aug 20 10:37:59 cool, thx bencoh Aug 20 10:38:18 bencoh: today u made the difference :) Aug 20 10:43:33 glad to help Aug 20 10:57:14 KotCzarny: This looks like a good deal: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Original-OEM-Samsung-Galaxy-Note-3-III-Battery-NFC-N9000-B800BU-E-3200mAh-/252678365710?hash=item3ad4cde20e:g:hBwAAOSwiDFYN8dA Aug 20 10:57:14 My current battery says B800BU . I wonder what the difference is between the B800BU and B800BE? Aug 20 10:57:58 maybe e is for extended Aug 20 10:58:31 Or U for USA and E for Europe? I am just guessing. Aug 20 11:11:24 Well, I bought two of these batteries, will continue using my current bulging battery until the new batteries arrive. Aug 20 11:53:33 Hooray! The Conversations program might be working, again. But I have a tiny suspicion that it's tied up with rootfs somehow, aka sqlite3 opening a 60MB database requires 60MB of free space on rootfs. Which is not good, if it is so. Aug 20 11:55:13 iisnt rootfs on nand? Aug 20 11:58:39 Rootfs is internal memory, yes. Aug 20 11:58:57 And Conversations database is officially home partition, not rootfs. Aug 20 11:59:02 does it mean it will write 60MB to nand quite often? Aug 20 12:00:33 No idea how sqlite3 works. Aug 20 12:01:02 That's why I think it would make sense to have logs as many tiny files. Aug 20 12:01:03 but if you say it needs that amount of storage on rootfs.. Aug 20 12:01:30 btw. you can trace what files are accessed/written to, assuming kernel has fs trace enabled Aug 20 12:05:48 Hmm, interesting idea... Aug 20 12:07:57 I just know that when I was trying to vacuum the database, it was giving "database disk image malformed" or something error, which may be caused by lack of space on a partition (amongst other reasons). And homefs had more than enough free space (100MB or so?), while rootfs had "only" 50MB free. Database is 60MB. Aug 20 12:09:05 But it's all quite unreliable data and fragile hypothesis. More statistics from people with huge el-v1.db would be nice. Aug 20 12:11:14 And "disk I/O error" once, when trying to vacuum. Aug 20 12:12:00 But in the end, I managed to vacuum without any errors. Aug 20 12:12:17 And more than 60MB free on rootfs. Aug 20 12:12:46 Which was difficult ^ uninstalled cherry, ncurses... Aug 20 12:13:07 i'm curious, how did your db got so big? Aug 20 12:13:09 irc logs? Aug 20 12:13:27 Yes Aug 20 12:13:46 then irc plugin should stop doing that Aug 20 12:13:55 maybe apart from real priv msgs Aug 20 12:14:54 I am currently thinking about moving irc logs out of el-v1.db and into some other place, like irssi backlogs. Aug 20 12:15:11 And using irssi or something, instead of telepathy-idle Aug 20 12:16:03 Which is, quite annoying, given how irssi is likely not fully integrated with contacts, notifications and such Aug 20 12:16:43 Other approach could be figuring out a better way to store logs than one huge sqlite3 database. Aug 20 12:17:05 imo, channel logs dont belong to conversations db Aug 20 12:18:22 Imagine somebody using the same device for 10 years. Lots of SMS, lots of phone calls. Could still amount to a large database file. Maybe not 60MB, but... Aug 20 12:18:48 imagine someone using the same cellphone for 10 years Aug 20 12:18:50 :P Aug 20 12:19:55 and phone calls are removed after 6 months or something Aug 20 12:20:17 Well, I am using Nokia N900 for 7+ years, don't remember exactly. It's not exactly same device, but only because of accidents (like full rootfs on one, multiboot+kernelupgrade on another ) Aug 20 12:20:50 yup, minimal way it would go without reflashing at least once or twice Aug 20 12:21:01 s/way/chance/ Aug 20 12:21:01 KotCzarny meant: yup, minimal chance it would go without reflashing at least once or twice Aug 20 12:21:52 As stubborn as I am, I mean to merge all databases of the three devices into one, once I get to fixing them. Aug 20 12:22:16 And ideally, get a way to sync IRC logs between phone and computer. Aug 20 12:22:18 write a plugin and integrate with google cloud Aug 20 12:22:18 ;) Aug 20 12:22:59 So, yes, it makes sense to move IRC logs (very talkative) into something else (instead of el-v1.db) Aug 20 12:23:43 why cloud if devices are on the same lan? I assume irc logs are only there due to using conversation plugin for irc? Aug 20 12:24:13 Like, create a major telepathy-idle upgrade which identifies contacts by NickServ registration and writes logs to a different place. Aug 20 12:24:57 Sixwheeledbeast : not necessarily on same lan, I irc from both home and workplace Aug 20 12:26:37 bouncer? Aug 20 12:29:22 Would need to establish an immortal server for that Aug 20 12:30:15 :nod: Aug 20 12:37:23 I have had a “mobile telephone” only since 2008, not yet ten years ago. Aug 20 14:35:22 Heh, I was unaware of the solar eclipse occuring tomorrow (Monday) until today (Sunday). Aug 20 15:51:13 Wikiwide: opening a 60MB database requires huge amounts of RAM, which gives your system swap hell Aug 20 15:53:01 Wikiwide: again, it's confirmed knowledge that anything maybe >2MB in events db will bring your system down Aug 20 15:53:46 there's no real good rationale for keeping this insane amount of conversations in history either Aug 20 15:56:56 Wikiwide: if you want a bouncer, please query me Aug 20 16:04:33 and regarding irc logs: I don't log at all on my phone. I got a bouncer where I could log (I don't) and I got logs on my PC which is 24/7/366 online and logging Aug 20 16:04:54 wouldn't know what for I need logs on phone anyway Aug 20 16:05:14 usually you got channel logbots for that Aug 20 16:06:02 so even while xchat could log, I disabled it on phone. And I'd hope same option exists in telepathy crap Aug 20 16:07:04 when I had logging, there was this nasty string that killed xchat X-P Aug 20 16:12:51 http://maemo.cloud-7.de/clean-N900xchat-scrollback-from-rogue-string.sh Aug 20 16:15:33 ooh sorry, that's just scrollback, a mini-log Aug 20 16:20:22 the with the conversations plugin I would expect to be stored in message db until you clear it. Aug 20 16:21:07 sicelo: I have same output as your TMO post but still no issues with GPS lock AFAIK. Aug 20 16:22:45 A-GPS? Aug 20 16:30:53 Yeah I have no GPS lock via sat as I'm indoors. Aug 20 16:32:10 btw there's that clear-AGPS-cache binary, just ran nto that on my server Aug 20 16:34:12 okay. no idea what's up then .. i've not had a-gps for a bit of time now Aug 20 16:34:58 tmo regression :-( https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=90651&goto=newpost ignores the &goto=newpost part despite me being logged in Aug 20 16:36:04 or actually, now it works. strange Aug 20 16:37:46 sixwheeledbeast: what's your supl.nokia.com IP?

Swap: it uses nand to extend ram? /Do not know much about swap/ c Aug 20 20:58:58 Wikiwide: yes, and emmc instead of nand Aug 20 20:59:08 (or sd, depending on your setup) Aug 20 21:00:29 No sd card here. Emmc is like, MyDocs? Should not be a problem, it has plenty of free space (just makes everything slow-slow-slow, because emmc is slower than ram) Aug 20 21:21:29 Wikiwide: it's a distinct partition in emmc Aug 20 21:46:49 I would only change it if you are having a-gps issues, seems to be working in some locations Aug 21 02:12:27 how should i configure encryption on linphone to communicate with maemo sip? Aug 21 02:37:53 it seems that purple-telegram has vibrations enabled even when device is silent and vibrations turned off. Is there any possibility to turn vibrations of for it too? Aug 21 02:41:35 guess it's not respecting the system Aug 21 02:41:47 doesn't have a setting? Aug 21 02:46:13 not that i could find one. It has setting for sound volume, but not for vibration i Think. Aug 21 02:47:22 hmm Aug 21 02:51:56 there r settigs enable sound "always, when available, when not available" Aug 21 02:52:09 then sound volume Aug 21 02:53:26 and method "automatic, console beep, esd, alsa, command, no sounds" Aug 21 02:54:08 and that's it Aug 21 02:54:38 dunno if there is some plugin for it... Aug 21 02:54:44 try some file somewhere? Aug 21 02:55:05 it's a discontinued app? **** ENDING LOGGING AT Mon Aug 21 03:00:01 2017
