01:06.22LinuxCodeif any of you type int eh wrong shell for root
01:06.29LinuxCodeand $ root doesnt work anymore
01:06.40LinuxCodesudo gainroot works anyway
01:08.51merlin1991because sudo gainroot
01:08.57merlin1991does not set the environment
01:09.06LinuxCodemerlin1991, perfect ;-}
01:09.14LinuxCodeand I even got an explanation
01:09.24LinuxCodejust glad I didnt have to reflash
01:10.08LinuxCodeI only had my N900 for 3 days
01:10.26LinuxCodeI ordered one over a year ago, but it got stolen out of the box, before they shipped it
01:10.35LinuxCodeso, had to battle with the retailer
01:11.08LinuxCodeshame Nokia abandoned this, few more years of dev, it would have been a perfect platform
01:11.28LinuxCodemerlin1991, do you use your front cam often ?
01:11.36LinuxCodeI had it lock up on me a few times now
01:11.43LinuxCodeonly way to fix that was to reboot
01:11.48LinuxCodethe red led stays on
01:12.02merlin1991odd
01:12.08LinuxCodesaying that, I have not tried killing the process
01:12.25LinuxCodeso maybe I should try figuring that out first, which process locks it
01:12.33merlin1991camer-ui
01:12.35merlin1991possibly
01:12.38merlin1991or wait
01:12.41LinuxCodemerlin1991, I get more info
01:12.43merlin1991am I confusing back and front?
01:12.48merlin1991which cam do you mean?
01:13.03LinuxCodeback = 5MP
01:13.11LinuxCodefront = crap 0.3MP
01:13.13LinuxCode;-}
01:13.20merlin1991okay :)
01:13.35LinuxCodeI say crap, 0.3 isnt bw hungry
01:13.44merlin1991okay back camera if anything should be affected by camera-ui
01:13.49LinuxCodek
01:13.53LinuxCodeI look into it mate
01:14.12merlin1991unless you have stuff like fcam or bless900 and all the other alternative cam stuff
01:14.18LinuxCodedo we have a bugzilla for the community effort ?
01:14.28merlin1991bugs.maemo.org
01:14.33LinuxCodeahh k

01:14.41LinuxCodekk cool
01:14.53merlin1991current buglist is in /topic
01:14.54LinuxCodebless900 and fcam, interesting
01:15.38LinuxCodeI keep you posted and will file a bug, if I find something interesting
01:16.05LinuxCodethank you for your responses so far, much appreciated
01:16.19LinuxCodeoff to bed nn

03:32.57DocScrutinizererr wut? bug in CSSU re front cam? nonsense
03:33.40DocScrutinizerthough actually nikocam might mess up the muxing between front and main cam
03:37.52DocScrutinizeryou know front and main cam share same SoC HW IF, muxed by a switch. So are mutually exclusive use

11:53.23int_uaHi, I've installed sp-rich-core and have three dumps already. The last errors in oopslog are perl and dbus-launch crashes. Can I differentiate between hardware malfunction and software bugs with these dumps?
11:53.56int_ua(kernel oops dumps)
11:55.06int_uashould I report a bug? One or multiple?
11:55.19int_uaI'm using stock kernel, not the KP

13:25.02DocScrutinizeryou basically never can tell apart for sure hw and sw bugs, unless you analyzed the dump to the root cause and see if e.g. the null pointer was never initialized or got wrong data via a defect bus from a defect RAM
13:25.18DocScrutinizerhw bugs are hard to spot
13:26.02DocScrutinizerthey come in 5 dozen disguises
13:26.20*** join/#maemo-ssu Kaptenen_ (~Kaptenen@81.216.60.47)
13:26.50DocScrutinizeroops seems that's no proper substantiv
13:27.29DocScrutinizers/disguises/camouflages/
13:29.03DocScrutinizeranyway neither dbus nor perl itself should coredump. Perl might on extremely rogue perl code it has to execute. dbus *never* may
13:29.31DocScrutinizerso I guess yes, it would be more than appropriate to open a ticket against dbus
13:30.07DocScrutinizerfor perl you should find out which perl code it executed and if the fault was inside perl interpreter or rather inside the code
13:30.22DocScrutinizerotherwise a ticket against perl is rather useless
13:33.00DocScrutinizerat least that's according to my poor knowledge of perl. I don't assume it is built in a way so it never ever could reasonably coredump on a rogue sequence of perl commands
13:35.00DocScrutinizercompare BASIC - if your basic interpreter doesn't have any peek, poke, or call romcode subroutine commands, it should be impossible to make it coredump. As soon as you can poke to arbitrary memory locations, you obviously can make it segfault easily
13:36.30DocScrutinizermeh, he's gone :-//
