Mar 15 03:28:15 after about two hours my wrists/hands were dying and I decided "okay, I had my fun, now fuck this" :P Mar 15 03:28:23 lol Mar 15 03:28:27 especilly when I was doing it no more than 10 feet from my laptop :P Mar 15 03:28:48 hey, sure, the novelty is great, and hooray you're celebrating a small personal victory... but still yeah :P Mar 15 03:29:14 Dave: I have IRCed from the shower. Mar 15 03:29:27 thats kinda how my old phone ended up bricked, the baggie leaked. >.> Mar 15 03:29:57 it had a full hw keyboard though, so that was alot less painful Mar 15 03:31:24 hahaha Mar 15 03:31:27 aww Mar 15 03:31:32 Yeah I think it's horrible Mar 15 03:31:46 I mostly did it for shits and giggles. :P Mar 15 03:31:56 I didn'tactualy think it was a smart idea Mar 15 03:31:59 one of my friends has a 'tough' phone and it's water-resistant, so she always sends me text messages from the shower Mar 15 03:32:04 and it always irks me... or weirds me out Mar 15 03:32:10 heh Mar 15 03:32:11 hahaha, don't we all :P Mar 15 03:32:19 to freak people out and enjoy the fun Mar 15 03:32:24 hey Mar 15 03:32:33 I've taken a freerunner to the bottom of a twelve foot pool! Mar 15 03:32:43 am I fucking crazy? or fantastically amazing? Mar 15 03:33:08 (I wanted to check the altimeter... among other things :P) Mar 15 03:33:33 it ended up coming upbecause I said "Damn #xkcd, distracting me from my shower", someone thought I was ircin in the shower I was like "Yeah i put my phone in a baggie" then the idea stuck in m head... so I did it Mar 15 03:33:45 Dave: and you water-proofed it...how? Mar 15 03:33:50 Guess :D Mar 15 03:33:54 I hope you did better than sandwitch bags. :P Mar 15 03:34:00 hahahaha yeah :p Mar 15 03:34:01 hm, where does the wall charger live? Mar 15 03:34:10 But I've used ziplocks for cellphones in the shower :P Mar 15 03:34:13 worked great Mar 15 03:34:19 johnsu01: in a remote corrner of the world Mar 15 03:34:41 johnsu, REQUEST FOR CLARIFICATION Mar 15 03:35:02 at the back of a drawer, in a tangle with 8 or so other chargers with different voltages and/or connectors Mar 15 03:35:14 hey, stay out of my desk, mmontour! Mar 15 03:35:14 Dave: like, the equivalent of usb_curlim Mar 15 03:35:22 Ah! Mar 15 03:35:48 Dave: I would try it again... but I don't have the money to replace the phone if the baggie leaks.:P Mar 15 03:35:50 well, why didn't you say so?!! We know where the virtual charger lives -- it's the real one that we lose all the time. Mar 15 03:36:33 Don't worry, I can make better suggestions :) Mar 15 03:36:46 mwester, in your house -- check the fridge ;) Mar 15 03:36:46 look first in /sys/class -- you'll see the dirs for the bat; it might be around there (depends on your OS version) Mar 15 03:37:04 * johnsu01 digs Mar 15 03:37:10 no mokos in the fridge, just batteries. Mar 15 03:37:11 * SeligArkin snickers Mar 15 03:37:13 today I have had to dig for both the physical charger and the virtual charger Mar 15 03:37:24 Selig, vacuum-sealing storage bags ftw! Mar 15 03:37:38 Dave: haha Mar 15 03:37:39 * mwester has one of those machines. Mar 15 03:37:39 mwester, I have one in the fridge and one under a heat lamp :) Mar 15 03:37:44 * Dave high-fives mwester Mar 15 03:37:46 don't have one of those, sadly Mar 15 03:37:51 I was moving today, and so I put the wall charger in with the case of beer because I knew I wouldn't lose it then Mar 15 03:37:55 Selig, no fuss, no mess, no voided warranty! Mar 15 03:38:01 :) Mar 15 03:38:02 haha Mar 15 03:38:03 johnsu01: good thinking! Mar 15 03:38:07 only then someone moved it :( Mar 15 03:38:20 SOMEONE STOLE MAH BEER Mar 15 03:38:21 John, the developers try to make your life hard :) Mar 15 03:38:25 Muwahahahah Mar 15 03:38:32 Selig, sorry, I was makin room for mah mokoz! Mar 15 03:38:34 fortunately there was still beer there to placate me Mar 15 03:38:45 * Dave sends Johnsu01 SIGBEER Mar 15 03:39:00 tangogps on the freerunner got me to the truck rental place, too Mar 15 03:39:13 haha, I was about to say... Mar 15 03:39:25 TangoGPS got me to Taiwan... to return this freakin thing... Mar 15 03:39:26 heehee Mar 15 03:39:42 we all know the battery didn't last that long :) Mar 15 03:39:51 I think someone scaped a map pic of that actually, it was like turn left at africa and drive 21000mi Mar 15 03:39:57 john, haha true Mar 15 03:40:45 nbot weven with mintyboost + 24 pack of batterys? :P Mar 15 03:41:05 Use my battery pack! Mar 15 03:41:11 thats something I want to try,, making one of them Mar 15 03:41:32 I'm working on my SD adapter currently Mar 15 03:41:45 since I'm done with usb wifi and usb camera Mar 15 03:41:47 I should be banned from a soldering iron Mar 15 03:41:51 hahaha Mar 15 03:41:54 that's not all ;D Mar 15 03:41:59 oh? Mar 15 03:42:01 * Dave giggles Mar 15 03:42:23 well I am banned from the woman's restroom... Mar 15 03:42:47 Sounds like an entertaining backstory... though I fear you should save it for another time :P Mar 15 03:43:08 It's rather simple - I am biologicly male. :P Mar 15 03:43:30 \o/ Mar 15 03:43:45 ... hasn't stopped me before :P Mar 15 03:43:51 haha Mar 15 03:44:02 Though, honestly, I don't know why you'd bother anyhow... the mens restroom is always much nicer... Mar 15 03:44:03 I actualy look gender-nutral enough to possibly get away with it... Mar 15 03:44:13 and there's rarely a fucking line :P Mar 15 03:44:23 selig, teehee Mar 15 03:44:30 pretty sneaky! Mar 15 03:44:41 * SeligArkin likes looking female Mar 15 03:44:53 Hey, whatever you prefer baby ;) Mar 15 03:44:57 hehe Mar 15 03:45:03 * SeligArkin blushes Mar 15 03:45:15 * Dave smiles Mar 15 03:45:43 I just realised something Mar 15 03:46:02 I took a picture of my face when I was in the shower... it went to the SD card I installed debian to Mar 15 03:46:16 uh oh... Mar 15 03:46:33 I am unsure as to whether that is for better or worse... :D Mar 15 03:46:38 hahaha Mar 15 03:47:01 ;) Mar 15 03:47:31 so, it's plugged into the wall Mar 15 03:47:35 but status says not charging Mar 15 03:47:48 /sys/class/power_supply/battery/status that is Mar 15 03:48:50 johnsu01: strange Mar 15 03:48:51 johnsu, can't be trusted! Mar 15 03:48:55 I think it is only charging while idle, when I touch the screen to bring it back, the charging icon is there for a second but then disappears Mar 15 03:48:55 mine says that too Mar 15 03:49:02 so yeah,i thoink it is a lie Mar 15 03:49:49 johnsu, as joerg taught me long ago, the only valid thing to check is the CC (coulomb counter), and that's only valid if you haven't swapped batteries since boot (which is normal) Mar 15 03:50:02 look in /sys/class/i2c-adapter/i2c-0/0-0073/pcf50633-mbc/ Mar 15 03:50:42 There's a "usb_curlim" and a "chg_curlim" there Mar 15 03:51:19 johnsu01: the driver has been tweaked recently to change the way it handles "full" Mar 15 03:51:35 interesting Mar 15 03:51:42 johnsu01: in the past, it would switch to trickle charge; so you would continue to see "charging" for the status. Mar 15 03:51:48 right Mar 15 03:52:14 mmontour: ah, thanks Mar 15 03:52:17 It was determined from the bat vendor that this might damage the bat, so now the charger stops charging when full, lets it run empty just a bit, then charges it again. Mar 15 03:52:27 So you will now see it cycle when it is full. Mar 15 03:52:30 chg_curlim is currently 97 Mar 15 03:52:35 (this is not uncommon for many devices) Mar 15 03:52:36 yeah Mar 15 03:52:57 chg_curlim == 97 ? Sounds like it does not recognize your charger Mar 15 03:53:14 it's the one that came with the phone Mar 15 03:53:35 uh oh Mar 15 03:53:45 you sure you didn't take that off my desk instead, johnsu? ;) Mar 15 03:54:32 mwester: the charger hardware shuts off when the charge current falls below a threshold, and the hardware re-enables charging when the voltage falls low enough Mar 15 03:54:53 SHOULD Mar 15 03:55:09 ~_~ Mar 15 03:55:11 STOP DOING THAT! Mar 15 03:55:14 MAKEME Mar 15 03:55:20 apt: botsnack Mar 15 03:55:20 :), Dave Mar 15 03:55:23 <3 Mar 15 03:55:33 When I tested it, the battery would drain quite a bit before the charger turned back on Mar 15 03:55:48 I keep trying to go ~.~ but I end up disconnecting from my ssh session,lol Mar 15 03:55:49 same here Mar 15 03:55:50 Fail. :/ Mar 15 03:55:51 * mmontour has graphs somewhere - I think I saw it get to about 80% capacity before it re-started Mar 15 03:55:55 mmontour: interesting technique; one would think we could do better with the columb counter. Mar 15 03:55:57 haahahh Mar 15 03:56:00 oops? :P Mar 15 03:56:07 * SeligArkin nods Mar 15 03:56:08 * Dave makes funny faces at Selig Mar 15 03:56:12 ~.~ Mar 15 03:56:16 mwester, agreed. Mar 15 03:56:50 I think that the software does now give the charger a kick when it sees the CC capacity go down Mar 15 03:57:06 There's been a lot of work on that subsystem since I last looked at it closely Mar 15 03:57:15 and when was that? Mar 15 03:57:48 * SeligArkin wanders off Mar 15 03:58:12 * Dave confiscates SeligArkin's sandwich bags Mar 15 03:59:03 haha Mar 15 03:59:30 I ain't risking loosing this,I aint got the moneys to get a new. :P Mar 15 03:59:44 don't we know it :P Mar 15 04:01:17 so.. should I set chg_curlim to 500mA? Mar 15 04:01:27 why not go to 1A? Mar 15 04:01:34 baby steps Mar 15 04:01:39 agreed :P Mar 15 04:03:28 Dave: it was around August/September 2008 when I was doing PMU stuff Mar 15 04:03:59 yeah, I remember... I was there :) Mar 15 04:04:09 I was just checking if we were thinking about the same time ;) Mar 15 04:04:57 it didn't like 500mA but it took 500 Mar 15 04:05:09 :) Mar 15 04:08:42 Just checked my charger - it detected it properly and set usb_curlim to 1000, chg_curlim to 996 Mar 15 04:10:52 hm Mar 15 04:11:54 I set it to 996 then it dropped down to 992 Mar 15 04:26:05 I was going to make a shell script... now I forget what it was going to do... Mar 15 04:26:10 oh! Mar 15 04:28:21 uh oh Mar 15 04:28:27 She's turning into a zombie! Mar 15 04:28:31 Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah Mar 15 04:29:10 brainz? where? Mar 15 04:30:00 apt: brains?

Mar 15 05:59:11 hehe Mar 15 05:59:17 (hopefully not of freerunners) Mar 15 07:47:44 how adjust "tar" program to open archives gzip? i have shr Mar 15 07:55:11 ahoi Mar 15 07:59:31 Linkas, Use the "z" switch. Mar 15 08:15:28 KenYoung: what? Mar 15 08:16:22 <|Marco|> tar xfz Mar 15 08:16:27 <|Marco|> xvfz Mar 15 08:16:43 Linkas, If I understood your question correctly, you want tar to operate on an archive that was gzip'd." Mar 15 08:17:29 Linkas, If you would normally do, for example, tar xf blah.tar, you now need to do tar zxf blah.tar.gz . Mar 15 08:18:06 i want install debian on microsd card and install.sh script shows that tar cannot work with gzip archives Mar 15 08:21:38 script shows:"tar does not support gzip archives" Mar 15 08:22:19 Linkas, Can you just unzip it before passing it to the script? Mar 15 08:23:18 KenYoung:no because script download archive from internet Mar 15 08:24:21 Linkas, Then it sounds like you need to either modify the script, to make it unzip after the download, or install a version of tar which can process gzip'd files. Mar 15 08:25:38 KenYoung: ok i will do that like you said. Mar 15 08:26:14 Linkas, Sorry I can't be of more help - I've never run into a tar version that could not handle zip'd files. Mar 15 08:30:51 Linkas: is gzip installed? Mar 15 08:32:17 i don't installled gzip Mar 15 08:33:17 is it or not? Mar 15 08:34:11 Defiant-_: what is name of this package Mar 15 08:34:28 Linkas: I don't know, probably gzip. Mar 15 08:34:42 gzip is easy to check if it is installed. If yes, the gzip binary is there Mar 15 08:34:52 try which gzip Mar 15 08:36:04 i have not gzip Mar 15 08:36:18 then install it Mar 15 08:36:30 good idea:) Mar 15 08:52:19 Defiant-_:i installed gzip, now should work, but i haven't got time to test it. thanks for help Mar 15 10:05:18 Advertisement: win 214e by writing a small app for FR: http://cofundos.org/project.php/?id=150#bids Mar 15 10:18:48 rhkfin, It'll be interesting to see how high the jackpot has to go before you start getting some bites. Mar 15 10:21:15 Does cofundos give any statistics about how large the typical award is for a successful project? Mar 15 10:26:56 KenYoung: AFAIK cofundos hasn't had many succesful projects, as pointed out in the comments here: http://risto.kurppa.fi/blog/pay-for-your-open-source-software/#comments Mar 15 10:27:37 But our approach is a little different so we'll have a successful project :) Mar 15 10:35:22 rhkfin, Perhaps your web page announcing the contest should prominently display, near the top and in bold letters, the prize that is being offered. Mar 15 10:37:26 KenYoung: I just posted a new blog post about it.. OTOH I don't want people to participate because of money.. But I could add it there anyway.

They told we mustn't *charge* the battery all the time. That's obvious. But the definition of "charge" still is fuzzy. For me the batery seems to have no way to detect a constant charging voltage that is identical to the internal bat voltage (means charging *current* drops to 0) Mar 15 12:42:33 mwester: well maybe LiIon needs some >4.0V to accept any charge to a "near-full" level, and as soon as axternal voltage is removed, the bat voltage drops to the nominal 3.7V. We obviously mustn't apply a voltage >3.7V for extended periods then. But it's still not completely checked AFAIK Mar 15 12:44:45 mwester: basically I think it's safe to apply constant voltage for trickle charging all the time, if we can find a voltage where a full battery doesn't take any more charging current Mar 15 13:03:25 Silly question; where can I learn about the default repositories? I have some incorrect urls in my config files and want to find out what they're about and which ones I should have by default. Mar 15 13:09:26 The wiki has a page with repositories on it, but it says nothing about default reps. Mar 15 13:11:02 nio_: default repos for? Mar 15 13:12:51 OM2008.12 Mar 15 13:13:02 nio_: you need to use the 2008.8 repositories Mar 15 13:13:12 ah, k, thanks Mar 15 13:14:12 Ran the Kustomizer script yesterday, obviously it couldn't find some stuff so now I've got to clean it up again. :) Mar 15 13:18:07 nio_: it's not about the feeds.. Mar 15 13:18:17 or yes, it's about opkg.org repository.. Mar 15 13:18:52 go to opkg.org and fidn the apps you want to install from there.. tangogps fails because the latest kustomizer doesn't know to install libexif that tango needs, devel version has this included. Mar 15 13:25:27 Ok. So it's safer to consult opkg.org for packages first than to try the opkg command right away? Mar 15 13:26:41 not safer/unsafer but opkg can't install from opkg.org repository that well, it's broken. Installing opkg install http:/... works ~better -> check opkg.org.. Mar 15 13:31:25 Ah, so it depends on the package and dependencies wether a plain opkg install, without urls, works or not? In other words, the official OM2008.8 repository and opkg.org aren't really in sync I guess. Ah well, I'll just check the opkg.org site and the wiki pages if I want to install something I don't know about. Mar 15 13:44:43 nio_: I actually now released 0.4 to fix these problems.. But it requires reflashing to run it.. Mar 15 13:45:19 the repositories have different apps. opkg.org has more 'apps' as 2008 repos have mostly system stuff (some apps, too) Mar 15 15:45:16 * SeligArkin screams Mar 15 15:45:26 Stop turning off the screen!

Mar 15 16:45:13 depends on the resolution Mar 15 16:45:22 and which state Mar 15 16:45:57 PA and high enough zoom to read side-street's names Mar 15 16:46:24 10000km^2 at 1m resolution for example would be 10 gigapixels Mar 15 16:46:38 erm... eep Mar 15 16:46:41 a sizable fraction of a gigabyte is probably a safe bet Mar 15 16:47:10 anyway - each on-screen tile is 256*256 Mar 15 16:47:23 zoom in to the level you want, and work it out Mar 15 16:47:43 I will just wait till I get to a friend's house and use his faster internets to get the maps for my local area then Mar 15 16:48:05 :) Mar 15 16:48:16 GIGAPIXELS Mar 15 16:48:36 Selig, more than enough :P Mar 15 16:49:02 and I will just visit him before any tripsto get the local area of there too Mar 15 16:51:17 your internets are weak old man! Mar 15 16:51:24 yeah. :( Mar 15 16:51:42 * SeligArkin tries to think of what else to download onto the phon Mar 15 16:51:43 yeah - 1m/pixel is probably about right Mar 15 16:52:53 1.6 gigawatts Mar 15 16:54:28 1.21JW!

Mar 15 17:33:22 I'm not amazed :P Mar 15 17:33:29 I would had I not known though :) Mar 15 17:33:48 I had a professor tell me this early in my career Mar 15 17:34:03 Because he had horror stories about that stuff when he was younger Mar 15 17:34:13 exploding/discharging tubes Mar 15 17:34:32 I also had a lab assistant once tell me about exploding farad caps once Mar 15 17:35:01 But trust me, I saw my fair share of excitement, working in a chem lab for years Mar 15 17:35:05 :P Mar 15 17:46:43 Hey cesarb :) Mar 15 18:03:25 eh Mar 15 18:03:37 i'm trying to put a new splash sceen on my freerunner Mar 15 18:03:49 and i'd like my gz to be bigger than 0x5000 bytes Mar 15 18:04:17 so i issued this command in usb-console: Mar 15 18:04:27 setenv splashimage nand read.e 0x32000000 splash 0x5000\; unzip 0x32000000 0x88000000 0x96000 saveenv Mar 15 18:05:02 as described here: http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Configuring_the_boot_splash_screens (modifying the size of the compressed splash-image Mar 15 18:05:32 still, however, seems to be cut off before the image ends Mar 15 18:05:39 and the bottom of the splash is garbled Mar 15 18:06:12 and when i get into the usb-console again and issue "printenv" the splashimage variable is gone :-X Mar 15 18:06:20 how do i make the variable persistent? Mar 15 18:06:36 Make sure you're doing all of this from the NAND u-boot, not NOR Mar 15 18:06:41 or is there something else i should do to fix the garbled splash Mar 15 18:06:44 uhM? Mar 15 18:06:49 mmontour, how do i do that? Mar 15 18:07:13 The 'saveenv' should also be on its own line. To get to NAND, press the power button first and then Aux Mar 15 18:07:58 when i do that it just boots Mar 15 18:08:22 or do you mean the bootscreen i need to have when flashing the image? Mar 15 18:09:44 Press and hold the power button. After about half a second, also press and hold Aux. This should get you into the NAND u-boot menu Mar 15 18:10:56 wow Mar 15 18:10:57 thanks Mar 15 18:11:02 never noticed the difference Mar 15 18:11:10 mmontour++ :-) Mar 15 18:11:47 and what did you mean with saveenv on its own line? you mean a \; after the 0x96000? Mar 15 18:13:14 No, I mean enter the setenv command (ending with ...0x96000) and press enter. Then type the "saveenv" command. Mar 15 18:13:43 ahh, mmmky Mar 15 18:14:29 yikes! Mar 15 18:14:32 You can also leave out the "0x5000" in that command, and u-boot will load the entire contents of the splash partition into memory Mar 15 18:14:40 Error: Bad gzipped data Mar 15 18:15:18 Specifying a size limit makes the booting a bit faster, but the limit has to be larger than the actual size of the compressed data Mar 15 18:37:35 someone with shr could post me his /etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu, i've lost it... Mar 15 18:37:44 please :D Mar 15 18:37:55 hehe Mar 15 18:37:59 I see my moko doesn;t want to be usable as a phone today... Mar 15 18:38:18 It's more moody than a pregnant woman! Mar 15 18:38:24 heh Mar 15 18:39:27 please I need a /etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu Mar 15 18:42:34 one min Mar 15 18:42:39 i found it Mar 15 18:43:09 http://darkdna.net/~selig/applications.menu Mar 15 18:43:39 yes i found it into mailing list Mar 15 18:43:42 thank you Mar 15 19:11:37 Does anyone know if Fyp has phone logging? Mar 15 19:18:33 tomboy64: I noticed there's some linebreaks missing somewhere in wiki, when it comes to entering env setup commands in uBoot Mar 15 19:18:43 yes Mar 15 19:18:48 i somehow borked it Mar 15 19:19:00 i'm getting the bootmenu as splashscreen now :-] Mar 15 19:19:16 yayy for the boobieeees Mar 15 19:19:45 DocScrutinizer, would re-flashing u-boot set it back to the original state? with the original splashscreen? Mar 15 19:20:51 nah, spalshscreen is a separate partition. flashing uboot won't help. env the same afaik Mar 15 19:21:12 mhmm Mar 15 19:21:26 * tomboy64 considers reimplementing u-boot in Ook! Mar 15 19:21:39 seriously Mar 15 19:21:43 what can i do? Mar 15 19:22:05 to restore the original env, that is Mar 15 19:23:09 probably most easy is to issue the correct commands Mar 15 19:23:33 yeah I know this doesn't help much Mar 15 19:23:59 but I don't have them at top of my head right now Mar 15 19:24:11 :) Mar 15 19:24:21 * tomboy64 just noticed a missing 0 Mar 15 19:24:52 maybe try printenv in NOR to get a template Mar 15 19:25:09 mhmm good input Mar 15 19:25:54 splahscreen partition probably needs flashing with dfu-util Mar 15 19:30:02 yup, did that Mar 15 19:30:06 still no luck Mar 15 19:30:20 and i just noticed using defaultenv wasn't the smartest idea Mar 15 19:32:36 uhhhh YEAH! Mar 15 19:32:54 * tomboy64 has a cow with a fat tit on his splash :-D Mar 15 19:33:02 ... Mar 15 19:33:16 thanks for holding my hand there, DocScrutinizer Mar 15 19:34:00 SeligArkin, basically this one http://www.gentoo.org/images/backgrounds/cow-push-800x600.jpg Mar 15 19:34:03 tomboy64: nah, I didn't do anything. Welcome anyway Mar 15 19:34:06 so no worries :) Mar 15 19:34:30 and now off to the wiki and tidying up that ... article Mar 15 19:35:13 a smart idea Mar 15 19:35:50 inflex: awake? Mar 15 19:35:51 oops Mar 15 19:35:59 i was going to install something.. I can't for the life of me remember what though Mar 15 19:36:14 Global Thermonuclear War? Mar 15 19:36:22 the rootkit i sent you? Mar 15 19:36:27 oh yeah! Mar 15 19:36:31 thanks tomboy64 Mar 15 19:36:37 yw :-D Mar 15 19:36:40 apt-get install tomboys-rootkit Mar 15 19:37:01 "NO PANIC!" bootsplash? Mar 15 19:37:02 it's still in the beginning stages Mar 15 19:37:10 oh Mar 15 19:37:22 so you'd have to do some more Mar 15 19:37:24 * SeligArkin makes it so the text will zoom by on boot Mar 15 19:37:30 we'd start with rm -rf / Mar 15 19:37:31 :-D Mar 15 19:37:47 DocScrutinizer, sounds fun Mar 15 19:38:42 echo "loglevel=8" > /boot/append-GTA02 Mar 15 19:38:49 to make text zoom by on boot,right Mar 15 19:39:41 or keep pressing power button Mar 15 19:39:51 I want it to do it automaticly. :P Mar 15 19:39:57 * SeligArkin loves the look of text zooming by Mar 15 19:40:55 me too, but not if it makes the boot take more time... Mar 15 19:41:11 hmm, how much more etimed? Mar 15 19:41:48 depends on how many messages there are... Mar 15 19:42:07 oh well Mar 15 19:42:17 I like the look,gives me the feeling it is actualy doing something Mar 15 19:47:51 there is no debian package for openttd in the repo Mar 15 19:47:55 * SeligArkin gets to work Mar 15 19:48:42 not for armel at least... Mar 15 19:48:45 nope Mar 15 19:51:34 * SeligArkin wgets the source to her phone Mar 15 20:01:08 SeligArkin: so you finally got to the foundation of OM's appeal :-) Mar 15 20:02:23 hehe, DocScrutinizer Mar 15 20:02:35 I alsolove that I can program for it, without paying money Mar 15 20:03:18 * SeligArkin installs notification-daemon Mar 15 20:03:22 this is sth you could do for a lot of smartphones Mar 15 20:03:39 not with as much power Mar 15 20:03:57 I could for my old windows mobile phone Mar 15 20:04:07 given you are willing to live with limits as to which language to use etc Mar 15 20:04:16 indeed Mar 15 20:04:28 no touching this, that,or that other thing Mar 15 20:04:50 if I wanted I could setup a cronjob to call somsone every morning if I wanted with this.:P Mar 15 20:05:00 yeah, never *own* your own phone Mar 15 20:05:24 * SeligArkin lets the screen go dark again for a test Mar 15 20:05:52 hmm Mar 15 20:06:03 * SpeedEvil bemoans the lack of (end user) voice recognition for linux. Mar 15 20:06:25 notifications don't wake the screen, it seems Mar 15 20:08:06 SpeedEvil: yup :-/ Mar 15 20:09:10 I hgave to be honest, though Mar 15 20:09:34 what I love most about linux is how you can easily peice things together using whatever you want Mar 15 20:11:15 eg, I have a lcd screen, text only, black and green, pertillion(sp?) Mar 15 20:11:22 It is just another file for me to write to Mar 15 20:11:37 so if I wanted, I could write a brainfuck program to output to it! Mar 15 20:12:32 and that just makes me HAPPY Mar 15 20:12:42 I can fit it together however I want Mar 15 20:12:52 I don'thave to use a C api if I don't want to Mar 15 20:18:22 i just flashed my om to 2008.12 but when i try to upgrade it uses http://downloads.openmoko.org/repository/Om2008.8/all/Packages.gz, is it correct ? Mar 15 20:19:53 s_p: do you know that 2008.x is unsupported and no longer maintained and possibly will be never maintained again? Mar 15 20:20:27 PaulFert`, no :), what is than considered the supported distr ? Mar 15 20:21:44 s_p: supported by whom? OM sponsors FSO and Paroli development and Angus builds some images from that. Community supports SHR (based on FSO), Debian and Gentoo distros. Mar 15 20:22:15 s_p: the recent addition to that is community-supported qtopia, but i'm not sure it will live for long. Mar 15 20:22:34 * SeligArkin shoots qtopia while it is down Mar 15 20:34:40 Hmmz, "Due to the u-blox 4 need to have extra flash to storage up to 14 days of offline data (90 KBytes), GTA02 don't have it.", I don't really get this, is Assist Offline not available because it takes 90KB? That sounds very strange. Mar 15 20:35:32 * DocScrutinizer kicks qtopia's ass Mar 15 20:35:58 * nio_ shakes his OpenMooCow Mar 15 20:37:04 nio_: that's AGPS for "dumb devices". FR does thad via AGPSD Mar 15 20:38:54 mmmmkay? So, err does this Assist Online/Offline have any advantage on GTA02? I'm only just starting to play with gps for the first time..) Mar 15 20:40:08 it saves ~12min of ephem/alm data download from sat Mar 15 20:42:10 GPS is all about distance to (at least) 3 sats, so gps-receiver has to know *where* those sats are at the very uSec Mar 15 20:42:31 uhuh Mar 15 20:43:04 and it has to get that info from somewhere and it probably gets updated every so often, right? Mar 15 20:43:23 that's quite some data for now and a few hours into the future, and usually you have to download it from sat by very low bandwidth Mar 15 20:43:47 or you fetch it from internet Mar 15 20:44:06 Download from a sattelite? Hmmz, I thought they only transmitted time signals or something? Mar 15 20:45:09 if you fetched it somewhere last few hours, you can store it on dedicated 90k flash or somewhere in rootfs and restore to chip on powerup Mar 15 20:45:44 nio, nope they (sats) also send alm/ephem data Mar 15 20:46:15 alm/ephm means when they are going to be where? Mar 15 20:46:16 wow lots of dependicys for this Mar 15 20:46:48 this needs significantly higher receive signal level than a simple fix, and takes ~12min Mar 15 20:47:12 the numbers in shr-settings_0.1.0+r73+21d278d51f58b31519917ae848484cb9f84ef9b5-r2_armv4t.ipk doesn't seem to correspond to any git commit in shr-settings git repo... how could I make this correspondence? Mar 15 20:47:21 nio_: yup, one long term, other short detail Mar 15 20:47:41 Yeah, I've seen that being mentioned somewhere, about the, err, TTFF Mar 15 20:48:30 hmhm, right. TimeToFirstFix is much shorter with AGPS Mar 15 20:48:39 I see, learned something new again..) Mar 15 20:48:53 :) Mar 15 20:51:16 hmmm, never mind, i cloned and grepped locally instead of fighting the git web interface. Mar 15 20:53:13 So this Assist Online/Offline service can really help shorten that TTFF. Alright. But both the Online and Offline services basically do the same, right? Getting that alm/ephm data on the FR faster or in advance. So if that's it, then both services should work on the FR, unless it depends on the GPS hardware in some way, which I suppose it does, does it? Mar 15 20:57:01 nio_: nope. AFAIK the framework tries to get ephem/alm data whereever possible, stores it locally and restores it to gps-chipset. so that's online and offline integrated Mar 15 20:58:34 * SeligArkin slaps it Mar 15 20:58:37 zlib is right there! Mar 15 20:59:14 apt-find zliib Mar 15 20:59:16 wrong wind Mar 15 20:59:39 also notice please there was a bug in FSO mangling data while restore to chip and thus effectively breaking GPS, until recent patch Mar 15 21:00:14 whoopsy, I'll watch out for that one then Mar 15 21:00:44 was a nasty little typo Mar 15 21:01:36 plus gps seems broken when timezones are not correctly set up... Mar 15 21:02:45 that's quite possible, as alm/ephem download selects a subset that's applicable to actual time and position Mar 15 21:02:47 I could state that hardware should not be allowed to get bricked by software in the first place, but since I hardly know anything about how this hardware and software works together, I'll refrain from that..) Mar 15 21:04:03 nio_: basically gps-chipset is another system running some sw ;-) Mar 15 21:04:27 so no hw is "bricked" Mar 15 21:05:19 more like a userland "driver" had a glitch Mar 15 21:05:59 * SeligArkin throws something at it Mar 15 21:06:02 The GPS isn't I think flashable Mar 15 21:06:50 shellevil: nevertheless it contains firmware Mar 15 21:07:01 yes, I was just wondering. Mar 15 21:07:09 * shellevil is somewhat GPS obsessed. Mar 15 21:07:26 Doing software GPS at the moment. Mar 15 21:08:27 shellevil: yup cool. to best of my knowledge it's unclear whether there exists a theoretical way to reflash AR6000 Mar 15 21:08:42 err uBlox Mar 15 21:10:17 I'm doing software GPS on teeny processors, with extreme powersaving. Which is fun :) Mar 15 21:10:41 fun? lol Mar 15 21:11:04 * SeligArkin considers doing something insane... Mar 15 21:11:12 meh whats the worst that can happen Mar 15 21:11:19 Extreme powersaving can be lots of fun..) Mar 15 21:11:39 ouch SeligArkin famous last words.. Mar 15 21:12:15 "worst that can happen" is that your phone makes an international-roaming data connection and gives you a $60,000 monthly phone bill Mar 15 21:12:17 * SeligArkin wgets the opkg package thingy for openttd on the open moko Mar 15 21:12:43 freesmartphone.org: 03mickey 07libeflvala * r903e6364c0b0 10/patches/elementary-header.patch: elementary patch commited upstream Mar 15 21:13:57 mmontour: I think you forgot the "transforming into a deceptacon, burning your house, stealing your girlfriend, and mess up your calendar" part Mar 15 21:14:32 mmontour: depends. on 60k-bucks your chances to cancel the whole thing are better than on 6k sometimes Mar 15 21:14:46 Though burning ones house would probably mess up the calendar at the same time. Mar 15 21:15:02 lol Mar 15 21:15:48 or incinerate your whole bookshelf (what happened to me :-( ) Mar 15 21:15:52 SeligArkin: Thanks! You rock! Mar 15 21:16:10 I almost forgot about OpenTTD.. Mar 15 21:16:15 nio_: heh Mar 15 21:16:24 * SeligArkin is trying to get it onto her debian install Mar 15 21:16:29 there is no package fo it Mar 15 21:16:40 hey all, has anyone gotten sms-middleware to work? Mar 15 21:16:55 nio_: it won't steal a girlfriend, but it might drive one away (after enough missed calls, echo complaints, etc.) Mar 15 21:17:38 DocScrutinizer: your FR incinerated your bookshelf? What did you do, talk about getting an iPhone in it's presence? Mar 15 21:17:48 The "burning down the house" one might be plausible based on those pics that were posted to the mailing list recently Mar 15 21:18:31 nio_: it's been a nokia bat or charger, or a toshiba powersupply Mar 15 21:18:52 ah Mar 15 21:19:04 freesmartphone.org: 03mickey 07libeflvala * ree1055fa934b 10/vapi/elm.vapi: vapi: add missing calls for Elm.Win Mar 15 21:19:25 mmontour: absolutely Mar 15 21:20:11 I'm rather glad I didn't sign responsible for that design o.O Mar 15 21:21:21 gta03 has a polyfuse I forced in, so this risk is gone Mar 15 21:22:25 gta03.. I'd better get a discount on that one ones it's out.. :) Mar 15 21:22:27 mmontour: which list/where should I look? Mar 15 21:22:30 8-O Mar 15 21:23:01 8 Mar 15 21:23:16 8/0 Mar 15 21:23:22 ERROR Mar 15 21:23:24 :) Mar 15 21:23:53 support list, subject "BrokenMoko" on Feb 23 Mar 15 21:24:02 mmontour: thX Mar 15 21:25:28 you can never stop battery faults catching fire. Mar 15 21:25:33 I wonder if he had the phone plugged into the wall charger and running u-boot when the problem happened Mar 15 21:25:38 as the battery has plenty of energy internally. Mar 15 21:25:46 but anything else you can hope to prevent Mar 15 21:26:23 shellevil: I know Mar 15 21:26:31 There was a bug in some versions where the PMU was alternating between 0 and 1A current, and this caused large current spikes and voltage dips from the charger Mar 15 21:26:52 shellevil: that's why bat has tripple security, and a cert Mar 15 21:28:38 mmontour: hmm, oscilation. Yup that's possible Mar 15 21:28:39 * shellevil wishes for nice highly dense power sources that can't catch fire. Mar 15 21:29:15 IIRC the PMU is programmable enough to go >4.2V - is there internal protection in the cell? Mar 15 21:29:16 I wonder how long a ZPM could run a neo freerunner Mar 15 21:29:39 I'll post a followup on the mailing list and see if that issue could be related Mar 15 21:29:40 shellevil: always on fire is even better. Fuelcell Mar 15 21:29:52 DocScrutinizer: fuel cells are good. Mar 15 21:30:05 DocScrutinizer: if only someone'd get with it and make them cheap Mar 15 21:30:16 and small, and light, and high-power Mar 15 21:30:21 oh - and contamination resistant Mar 15 21:30:23 shellevil: yup cell has an autonomous prot-circuit Mar 15 21:31:45 shellevil: vmax can be set up to 4.3V according to the datasheet Mar 15 21:32:14 * shellevil has charged li-ion up to 4.6V without incident before. Mar 15 21:32:16 (oops) Mar 15 21:32:42 ouch! Mar 15 21:33:14 I do this sort of stuff - improvised charger - in a steel box though. Mar 15 21:33:25 shellevil: incident probably was internal circuit cutout Mar 15 21:33:45 re ZPM on Neo: *want* Mar 15 21:34:15 shellevil: or was that a naked cell? Mar 15 21:34:37 i really doubt Mar 15 21:34:43 DocScrutinizer: naked cells Mar 15 21:34:47 Wonka: haha, indeed Mar 15 21:34:58 shellevil: booh ey Mar 15 21:35:23 DocScrutinizer: I hadn't connected up my carefully constructed and tested shunt regulator. Mar 15 21:38:18 anyone? Mar 15 21:38:38 shellevil: yesterday I was heating a BL-5C very carefully with a lighter (to check id-pin resistor for temp response) when it was handwarm I stopped heating, but it got much hotter during 30sec, and was down from 4V to 2.5 after that :D Mar 15 21:47:06 * SeligArkin stares at it Mar 15 21:47:09 Learned about gps, got stuff working, and best of all; got friggin OpenTTD running on my FR! w00t! Yeah, it's been a good day..) Now for some Heroes and then sleepy. Mar 15 21:47:40 doc: yeah - youtube is good for teh results of lithium bat abuse :) Mar 15 21:47:46 Lots of beeeg flames. Mar 15 21:48:25 shellevil: pointers? :-D Mar 15 21:49:37 DocScrutinizer: 0xFF342E42 Mar 15 21:49:50 hehe Mar 15 21:50:23 segfault Mar 15 21:50:54 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4OsBc8RqSKU Mar 15 21:50:59 I think I am going to have to learn some programming.. because I like illume, I don't like that I can't move the icons in the shelf it seems Mar 15 21:51:01 as a mechanical damage example Mar 15 21:52:11 wooohoooooo! :-))) Mar 15 21:53:03 * DocScrutinizer considers small changes in vibrator mechanics :-D Mar 15 21:55:03 and electronic, to drive it reverse so the thread is unscrewing and pushing the imbalance part out Mar 15 21:55:22 anti-theft++ Mar 15 21:56:48 I segv's enlightenment again Mar 15 21:56:55 how the hell do I manage that? Mar 15 21:57:13 * DocScrutinizer remembers diplomat attache case with litium selfdestruction safety equipment is forbiddeen in airplanes ;-D Mar 15 22:00:35 shellevil: wishes for nice highly dense power sources that can't catch fire. http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Cow_Power Mar 15 22:05:19 anttna: cows are indeed dense. But not in that way. Mar 15 22:16:54 is there any working distribution for freerunner? what's android+freerunner state? Mar 15 22:18:07 apol: "working distribution"? Mar 15 22:19:06 apol, There are distributions which many people, myself included, find reliable enough to enable the Freerunner to be used as an everyday phone. Mar 15 22:19:10 lindi-: yep, last time i tried i couldn't even enter my pin code Mar 15 22:19:35 KenYoung: where can I find about it? any hint about which one is the best? Mar 15 22:20:32 I personally use 2009.12 + Kustomizer, but SHR seems to be the one that people praise the most. Mar 15 22:20:56 Ooops - I meant 2008.12 + Kustomizer. Mar 15 22:21:49 I have maybe one problem per week now - a missed call or a failure to resume from suspend. Mar 15 22:22:15 hmmm Mar 15 22:22:26 thanks Mar 15 22:22:40 THe situation is far better than it used to be. Mar 15 22:23:10 Yeah. We have fewer distros now? Mar 15 22:23:42 mwester, Gosh, I thought we had more than ever. Mar 15 22:24:21 Depends how you count, I guess. Mar 15 22:26:48 paskiramchi Mar 15 22:27:03 paskiramchi Mar 15 22:27:17 Oops - sorry. Wrong window. Mar 15 22:48:12 TAsn: thanks for the call recording work Mar 15 22:48:27 sure thing. Mar 15 22:48:45 there's still more work to be done. Mar 15 22:48:53 next goal is cleaning the state a bit more Mar 15 22:49:02 and maybe making specific uses state files. Mar 15 22:49:03 TAsn: my usb headset only does 44100 or 48000 Mar 15 22:49:09 lindi-, sox Mar 15 22:49:17 (not a typo, use sox) Mar 15 22:49:21 yeah Mar 15 22:49:39 TAsn: or alsa probably has some downsampling stuff too? Mar 15 22:49:50 you mean up Mar 15 22:50:00 TAsn: well, both ways Mar 15 22:50:04 iirc the sampled alsa audio is 8000 Mar 15 22:50:06 not sure. Mar 15 22:50:13 TAsn: audio from usb headset needs to be downsamples to 8000 to be sent to gsm Mar 15 22:50:22 TAsn: and audio from gsm needs to be upsampled to usb headset Mar 15 22:51:02 oh, right. ;] Mar 15 22:51:30 I just hope re-sampling is not costy. Mar 15 22:51:50 it shouldn't be too bad. Mar 15 22:54:41 lindi-, let me know when and if you solve it. ;] Mar 15 22:54:47 night. Mar 15 22:54:57 oh, and of course Mar 15 22:54:58 how. Mar 15 22:54:58 ;] Mar 15 22:55:19 TAsn: arecord -D hw:0,0 -t raw -r 8000 -f S16_LE -c 2 - | sox -t raw -r 8000 -s -w -c 2 - -t raw -r 48000 -s -w -c 1 - | aplay -t raw -D usb -r 48000 -f S16_LE -c1 & Mar 15 22:55:37 works? Mar 15 22:55:53 fast enough I mean. Mar 15 22:56:25 TAsn: not tested yet, i'm in the middle of the other command :) Mar 15 22:56:38 ;] Mar 15 22:57:24 well, beep me when you get something done (write tasn) Mar 15 22:57:24 TAsn: how about spelling out "-r 8000" explicitely in the wiki? Mar 15 22:57:35 sec. Mar 15 22:57:53 at least in the comments Mar 15 22:58:03 TAsn: and why -c2? Mar 15 22:58:07 to tell you the truth, till last week I was a major sound and alsa noob. Mar 15 22:58:19 lindi-, right and left mux Mar 15 22:58:26 this is how we get it from alsa. Mar 15 22:58:32 TAsn: so record with -c2 but play with -c1? Mar 15 22:58:42 play how ever you like Mar 15 22:58:52 you can also play with c2 if you want to Mar 15 22:58:54 ah, so -c1 since i only have one mic Mar 15 22:59:00 TAsn: how about using plug alsa plugin to convert samplerate? Mar 15 22:59:04 arecord -D hw:0,0 -t raw -r 8000 -f S16_LE -c 2 - | sox -t raw -r 8000 -s -w -c 2 - -t raw -r 48000 -s -w -c 1 - | aplay -t raw -D usb -r 48000 -f S16_LE -c1 Mar 15 22:59:08 arecord -D usb -t raw -r 48000 -f S16_LE -c 1 | sox -t raw -r 48000 -s -w -c 1 - -t raw -r 8000 -s -w -c 2 - | aplay -D hw:0,0 -t raw -r 8000 -f S16_LE -c 1 Mar 15 22:59:11 DocScrutinizer, read a bit up Mar 15 22:59:16 DocScrutinizer: that thought occured to my mind too yes Mar 15 22:59:26 to tell you the truth, till last week I was a major sound and alsa noob. Mar 15 22:59:27 DocScrutinizer: but this is more flexible as I can do other things here Mar 15 22:59:29 that's why ;] Mar 15 22:59:42 do those two commands look ok? Mar 15 22:59:44 I'm really learning on the go. ;] Mar 15 22:59:50 the first looks fine Mar 15 23:00:10 TAsn: and the 'arecord -D usb -t raw -r 48000 -f S16_LE -c 1' has been tested to work Mar 15 23:00:11 same goes for the second. Mar 15 23:00:20 I figured. Mar 15 23:00:27 hm, seems great. Mar 15 23:00:57 sox: invalid option -- w Mar 15 23:00:59 * mmontour scrolls up Mar 15 23:01:29 Audio to/from GSM is analog, so I'm not sure where the resampling and "8000" comes from Mar 15 23:01:42 mmontour, adc... Mar 15 23:01:44 btw I don't see why it has to be resampled at all. ADC/DAC in 8753 should be able to operate at 48000 as well I'd guess Mar 15 23:02:11 how do you set them? Mar 15 23:02:12 lol, mmontour. two guys one thought Mar 15 23:02:24 argh, sox has changed syntax between debian oldstable and unstable Mar 15 23:02:42 back to reading the _other version_ of the manual Mar 15 23:02:50 lindi-, hehe I hate it when that happens Mar 15 23:03:06 last time it happened to me was with dhcpcd 4.0 Mar 15 23:03:10 iirc. Mar 15 23:03:45 TAsn: this time "-w" => "-b 16" is actually more readable Mar 15 23:04:00 indeed. Mar 15 23:04:04 iirc they also had Mar 15 23:04:06 -2 Mar 15 23:04:10 which meant -2 bytes Mar 15 23:04:15 which meant 2 bytes* Mar 15 23:04:20 yeah Mar 15 23:04:23 i.e 16 bit Mar 15 23:04:27 man, that sucked. Mar 15 23:04:27 ;] Mar 15 23:04:28 but I use 16 since aplay wants S16_LE Mar 15 23:04:44 aplay can handle a lot of formats Mar 15 23:04:52 not just s16_le Mar 15 23:04:56 oh, you mean the device? Mar 15 23:05:05 quick reminder Mar 15 23:05:10 * TAsn <--- sound noob. Mar 15 23:05:34 anyhow, beep me when you get any progress. Mar 15 23:05:57 TAsn: you didn't answer DocScrutinizer's question about the need to downsample btw :) Mar 15 23:06:37 I did Mar 15 23:06:41 again: Mar 15 23:06:44 really? Mar 15 23:06:45 * TAsn <--- sound noob. Mar 15 23:06:46 no idea Mar 15 23:06:46 ;] Mar 15 23:07:08 I really have no clue. Mar 15 23:07:08 ahh, so maybe just try aplay -r 48000 ??? Mar 15 23:07:22 most I know is thanks to DocScrutinizer and PaulFert` Mar 15 23:07:23 TAsn: also do i really need -c2 there? Mar 15 23:07:27 TAsn: isn't GSM mono anyway? Mar 15 23:07:34 foo-other-args of cotse Mar 15 23:07:39 course Mar 15 23:07:55 lindi-, iirc yeah. since you can't get only the left or right capture channels Mar 15 23:08:00 -c1 fails with "arecord: set_params:923: Channels count non available" Mar 15 23:08:13 nah, you can mix stereo to it, or you can operate a single channel mono Mar 15 23:08:30 DocScrutinizer: but arecord does not want to record only one channel Mar 15 23:08:55 cause the device is defined to be a stereo device I'd guess Mar 15 23:08:55 how can i compile a program for the freerunner? Mar 15 23:09:13 apol: i run debian on my freerunner so i just use gcc like on my PC Mar 15 23:09:38 lindi-: I had to look into this. WM8753 *can* do mono record for all I know Mar 15 23:09:54 lindi-: but the freerunner is not x86 is it? Mar 15 23:10:04 apol, no it's not. Mar 15 23:10:14 search the wiki for toolchain Mar 15 23:10:19 if you just want a simple compile Mar 15 23:10:20 TAsn: great Mar 15 23:10:24 apol: yep, but it doesn't make much difference for me Mar 15 23:10:24 or go to the shr wiki Mar 15 23:10:33 to see how to work with an open embedded environment Mar 15 23:10:37 and use bbs Mar 15 23:10:45 s/bbs/bitbake/ Mar 15 23:10:45 TAsn meant: and use bitbake Mar 15 23:11:07 O_o Mar 15 23:15:16 * DocScrutinizer is missing a usb-soundcard to do some tests :-( Mar 15 23:15:18 TAsn: hmm. now alsactl restore says 'No state is present for card default' Mar 15 23:15:42 any idea what that means? Mar 15 23:16:34 hmm, your card changed it's name? Mar 15 23:16:35 not even the slightest Mar 15 23:17:05 booted with usb-device plugged in? Mar 15 23:17:15 DocScrutinizer: no Mar 15 23:17:19 i only added it now Mar 15 23:17:37 but yeah, it is now "default" : Mar 15 23:17:53 * SeligArkin looks for an alternitive to zhone Mar 15 23:17:56 compare aplay -l / -L with a working state one Mar 15 23:18:36 SeligArkin: http://iki.fi/lindi/darcs/kapula Mar 15 23:18:57 DocScrutinizer: $ aplay -l|nc paste.dyndns.org 1234 Mar 15 23:18:58 http://paste.nerv.fi/73341139.txt Mar 15 23:19:24 seems 'alsactl -f /etc/alsa-scenarios/call-recording.state restore 0' does not complain Mar 15 23:19:27 looks clean Mar 15 23:19:35 funny that alsactl wants card number there and not name Mar 15 23:20:07 I never gave name or number Mar 15 23:20:32 DocScrutinizer: because "default" happened to be the right one for you? Mar 15 23:20:38 prolly Mar 15 23:21:57 so what's happening when you ommit the "0"? Mar 15 23:22:57 DocScrutinizer: ''No state is present for card default'' Mar 15 23:23:05 duh Mar 15 23:23:25 seems it's caused by your adding a second soundcard Mar 15 23:23:28 anyway Mar 15 23:24:54 great. gsm -> usb works but I only hear from right speaker Mar 15 23:25:05 "load current driver setup for one or each soundcards" :-D Mar 15 23:25:25 used 'arecord -D hw:0,0 -t raw -r 48000 -f S16_LE -c 2 - | aplay -t raw -D usb -r 48000 -f S16_LE -c 2' Mar 15 23:25:35 :-) Mar 15 23:25:37 TAsn: is only the right channel really reading data from GSM? Mar 15 23:25:40 toldya Mar 15 23:25:50 * lindi- managed to ignore it :( Mar 15 23:26:15 so i need to do some sox-foo to remove left channe Mar 15 23:26:28 try arecord -vv Mar 15 23:26:33 or -vvv Mar 15 23:26:42 to get a stereo VU meter Mar 15 23:26:51 you'll be able to tell Mar 15 23:27:11 DocScrutinizer: or just save it to file? Mar 15 23:27:12 there's alsa plugins to do this as well Mar 15 23:27:15 lindi-, iirc I used both left and right Mar 15 23:27:19 to record the same thing. Mar 15 23:27:26 just look in the audio subsystem wiki page Mar 15 23:27:35 IIRC there's an ADC mixer control that feeds one analog input to both digital channels Mar 15 23:27:35 TAsn: but i hear only from right speaker Mar 15 23:27:50 lindi-, I could be wrong ;] Mar 15 23:27:59 mmontour: here we're talkng DAC Mar 15 23:28:05 again, I don't remember. ;] Mar 15 23:28:08 OK, never mind then Mar 15 23:28:10 I'm just speculating. Mar 15 23:28:18 anyhow I'm off for about 15 mins Mar 15 23:28:20 :) Mar 15 23:28:23 and then I'll go to sleep ;] Mar 15 23:28:31 would be interesting to know how large latency this setup has Mar 15 23:28:38 (i.e will come for less than a minute to check how you are doing) Mar 15 23:28:39 nah, nevermind Mar 15 23:29:32 lindi-: you're recording two channels, so you need to route GSM to both inputs Mar 15 23:30:16 or you setup ADC to sample one input for both channels Mar 15 23:30:33 not sure if http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Image:Callrec.txt does that Mar 15 23:30:38 or you use a ALSA plugin to split one channel to two Mar 15 23:30:46 or you use sox Mar 15 23:30:49 :-D Mar 15 23:31:05 lots of options is why i like free software :) Mar 15 23:32:30 (callrec.txt) sorry too much controls to check them now, I'm about to leave for a last beer ;-) Mar 15 23:32:41 I'll look into it later Mar 15 23:33:02 no problem Mar 15 23:33:06 cya Mar 15 23:34:15 hmm, kernel panic during call :) Mar 15 23:34:35 calypso probably did not hang up it :) Mar 15 23:35:35 yeah, the "GAU" Mar 15 23:36:30 i relly would like to see some sorta watchdog for calypso Mar 15 23:37:11 so modem goes onhook if there's a keepalive missing from userspace Mar 15 23:37:41 DocScrutinizer: http://iki.fi/lindi/openmoko/msg0001.wav is what the other side heard when i tried to send audio from usb to gsm Mar 15 23:38:29 hmm what's it like. can't listen to it now from nokia pad ;D Mar 15 23:38:57 DocScrutinizer: sounds quite odd, won't recognize it as speech Mar 15 23:39:06 it's not 100% noise either though Mar 15 23:39:08 hmm Mar 15 23:39:22 log is full of Mar 16 01:36:11 ginger kernel: [68091.625000] frame 0 active: -114 Mar 15 23:39:30 prolly some conversation error then Mar 15 23:40:31 compare arecord and aplay parameters Mar 15 23:40:59 that'll have to wait till tomorrow Mar 15 23:41:04 btw this arec pipe aplay will introduce quite some delay most likely Mar 15 23:41:22 but for the record i first started arecord -D hw:0,0 -t raw -r 48000 -f S16_LE -c 2 - > recording.raw Mar 15 23:41:25 k, cya Mar 15 23:41:29 and then tried arecord -D usb -t raw -r 48000 -f S16_LE -c 1 | sox -t raw -r 48000 -s -b 16 -c 1 - -t raw -r 48000 -s -b 16 -c 2 - | aplay -D hw:0,0 -t raw -r 48000 -f S16_LE -c 2 Mar 15 23:42:42 do you get a lot of overruns? Mar 15 23:43:32 TAsn: didn't have time to read logs since it rebooted Mar 15 23:43:51 not logs, I meant what arecord pipes to stderr Mar 15 23:43:59 s/pipes/writes/ Mar 15 23:44:00 TAsn meant: not logs, I meant what arecord writes to stderr Mar 15 23:44:05 * TAsn is tired. Mar 15 23:44:36 TAsn: i was in different screen window when it crashed Mar 15 23:44:48 sucks. ;\ Mar 15 23:45:17 well I think it's time for me to go. Mar 15 23:45:27 I'm up in 6 hrs. Mar 15 23:45:30 it's time to get some sleep Mar 16 00:16:42 Hey guys. Is there any chance to use usb host functionality while loading the battery? Mar 16 00:18:19 yes, it needs a wierd cable Mar 16 00:19:26 I'm using SHR unstable; when trying to run openmoko-dialer, I get this error: Mar 16 00:19:26 openmoko-dialer: symbol lookup error: openmoko-dialer: undefined symbol: frameworkd_handler_new Mar 16 00:19:36 any ideas what I need to do to fix that? Mar 16 00:21:09 SpeedEvil: okay. Mar 16 00:22:31 or an appropirately modified powered USB hub Mar 16 00:23:21 SpeedEvil: yes, i thought about just modifying a usb cable/adapter. i just wanted to know if the openmoko battery loads if i use non powered usb host mode Mar 16 00:23:29 loads? Mar 16 00:23:51 SpeedEvil: loads the battery Mar 16 00:23:55 charges Mar 16 00:24:03 sorry - just woke up Mar 16 00:24:07 SpeedEvil: sorry.. I'm german and we say load ;-) Mar 16 00:24:42 it charges any time there is 5V present on the connector, and the internal 5V generator is turned off as far as I'm aware Mar 16 00:25:02 SpeedEvil: okay. That's good news :) Mar 16 00:38:39 I crashed enlightenment again Mar 16 00:38:43 how the hell do I keep doing that Mar 16 00:42:10 SeligArkin: natural skill? Mar 16 00:48:28 Thats some shitty 'talent' Mar 16 00:48:32 erm skill Mar 16 00:48:45 I'm a level 334 program crasher! Mar 16 00:48:52 though I crash them in odd ways Mar 16 00:48:57 stopit Mar 16 00:49:16 Sorry? Mar 16 00:49:27 crashtester Mar 16 00:52:03 they need u over at opkg Mar 16 01:01:54 slaxxin: I have debian as my main install atm Mar 16 01:27:10 * SeligArkin gives matchbox another try Mar 16 01:28:04 * shellevil watches the flames. Mar 16 01:32:35 * SeligArkin <3 xrandr Mar 16 01:32:49 I have my freerunner hanging from a screw in the wall, so I inverted the screen Mar 16 01:36:33 SpeedEvil: nice! URL or it didn't happen ;-) Mar 16 01:40:49 nezza-_-: http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Specialized_USB_cables Mar 16 01:42:27 nezza-_-: http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Specialized_USB_cables#How_to_make_a_USB_cable_for_powering_attached_USB_devices_and_charging_the_Neo_while_in_host_mode_.28aka_Y-Cable.29 Mar 16 01:42:33 to be more specific Mar 16 01:43:00 DocScrutinizer: Does the usb charging automatically turn off when usb power generation is turned on, or does it have to be done manually? Mar 16 01:43:24 err, please reword Mar 16 01:46:45 DocScrutinizer: if the internal usb host power is turned on, does anything have to be done to stop the pmu attempting to run from that external power Mar 16 01:46:45 internal power - as it sees 5V on the 5V line Mar 16 01:46:49 EN_USBHOST switches off charging and enables generation of 5V for hostmode. Same time it switches the 2pcs 15k R. See schematics LOACATION:49XX Mar 16 01:47:34 * shellevil is having problems with pdfs atm, for some odd reason. Mar 16 01:47:54 * shellevil needs to either reboot, install xpdf, or work out why it's doing this. Mar 16 01:47:55 EN_USBHOST is controlled by CPU (GPIO) and mainly kernel looks for ID-pin of usb.receptacle being short to GND or not Mar 16 01:48:19 thanks for the very comprehensive answer. Mar 16 01:48:42 sounds somewhat sarcastic, or is that just me? Mar 16 01:50:23 I'm too tired to be sarcastic. :) Mar 16 01:50:36 SpeedEvil: sorry, was vor SeligArkin Mar 16 01:50:38 Though actually, I was just looking for a one word answer. Mar 16 01:50:46 DocScrutinizer, your efforts to help people on this channel and explain things about the Freerunner are widely appreciated. Mar 16 01:51:01 one word: NO Mar 16 01:51:36 * shellevil has been doing way too much non OM related stuff recently. :/ Mar 16 01:51:47 three words: it's done automatic Mar 16 01:52:12 Life getting in the way. Mar 16 01:52:14 in case anyone cares, removing and then reinstalling libframeworkd-glib0 fixed my problem Mar 16 01:52:28 net_tux: :) Mar 16 01:52:47 * shellevil is currently replacing walls. Mar 16 01:53:05 shellevil: get your sleep! Mar 16 01:53:19 sore foot - unfortunate hammer drop. Mar 16 01:53:28 waiting for painkillers to kick in. Mar 16 01:53:30 ouch Mar 16 01:53:39 nezza-_-: sadly Mar 16 01:54:03 Night all, and thanks. Mar 16 01:54:08 nezza-_-: sadly I lost my camera when my oldphone died Mar 16 01:54:11 * shellevil goes to sleep. Mar 16 01:54:16 night evil Mar 16 01:54:21 shellevil: get well soon! :) Mar 16 01:54:59 * DocScrutinizer tosses some virtual morphine to shellevil Mar 16 01:55:50 SeligArkin: oh ;-) Mar 16 01:57:25 KenYoung: thanks! :) Mar 16 02:01:07 nezza-_-: if there's more questions, don't hesitate to ask Mar 16 02:01:29 ~docscrutinizer Mar 16 02:01:30 it has been said that docscrutinizer is jOERG, a HW-developer and engineer of Openmoko Mar 16 02:07:26 DocScrutinizer: thank you, i sure will not ;) Mar 16 02:07:49 k, welcome Mar 16 02:10:47 nezza-_-: we recently found a highly convenient cable to create a Y-cable to feed power to FR. See bottom lines of wiki page mentioned above Mar 16 02:11:12 #4 there Mar 16 02:12:38 DocScrutinizer: it's just about a project i did some time ago of which i'm thinking to release it. http://0x2a-blog.org/?p=49 Mar 16 02:16:04 nezza-_-: I see. I did a similar project some years ago, involving stepper moter to rotate objects, and controlling some digital Canon camera via usb Mar 16 02:16:49 DocScrutinizer: :-) Mar 16 02:20:44 DocScrutinizer: FYI, the US cable (the right-angle) is viable as well. A few minutes with an xacto knife fixes the right-angle very nicely, and a bit of shrink tubing makes it even look good again. Mar 16 02:21:27 DocScrutinizer, so, a 3d scanner? Mar 16 02:21:35 mwester-laptop: I'd probably even like the 90° for some applications Mar 16 02:21:42 mjr: yup Mar 16 02:21:55 for web shops Mar 16 02:22:29 hm, so no 3d model generation, just the shots? Mar 16 02:22:37 more like a 360° scanner Mar 16 02:22:44 yea Mar 16 02:24:41 * mjr would be somewhat interested in a free 3d scanner solution; I know there's some software out there that does at least some of the relevant things for some types of input data, but it seems like a largely untapped niche, where only a few proprietary products lie Mar 16 02:24:56 of course, not interested enough to do it, as usual Mar 16 02:30:50 Also, too much math or you need a laser. With a laser, there's still a lot of math but at least it isn't horrible anymore. Mar 16 02:31:13 Something akin to that would be nice, were it not proprietary: http://www.david-laserscanner.com/ **** ENDING LOGGING AT Mon Mar 16 02:59:57 2009
