| 04:52.27 | samd | hi, im formating a 8g mcard, whats better, ext2 or fat32? |
| 04:54.05 | t_s_o | depends on how you plan to use it. if you expect to plug it into a windows machine some time in the future, go with fat |
| 04:55.58 | samd | i dont expect to use any windows machine, should i go for ext2? what about ext2 vs ext3? |
| 04:58.32 | t_s_o | well fat is the "linuga franca" of storage media, just about anything can read the format. as for the diff between the ext versions, mostly that the latter has a journal built in for faster file system checks upon power outages or similar... |

| 05:05.30 | b-man | I managed to get the PSP port of Windows95 working with dosbox :) - witch uses DBS (dosbox boot selector) |
| 05:06.33 | b-man | i had to make a "/PSP/GAMES/" directory on my mmc to get it to work though. |
| 05:07.18 | Vulcanis | why... would you ever want win95 |
| 05:07.35 | b-man | just as an experiment |
| 05:07.56 | Vulcanis | that works |
| 05:08.05 | zakkm__ | lol |

| 05:09.14 | zakkm__ | think the android port is cooler ;p |
| 05:09.28 | b-man | definitely |

| 05:47.54 | ScreaminIke | i just biught my vfirst bt device and accessories today... so i dont know what im doing |
| 05:48.19 | zakkm__ | go into control panel on nokia |
| 05:48.22 | zakkm__ | and goto bluetooth keyboard |
| 05:48.32 | zakkm__ | turn on bluetooth on nokia, |
| 05:48.49 | ScreaminIke | did that |
| 05:48.58 | ScreaminIke | it keeps failing |
| 05:49.09 | zakkm__ | is your keyboard in "search" |
| 05:49.12 | zakkm__ | like keyboard turned on? |
| 05:49.15 | ScreaminIke | taking a rly long time then... fail |
| 05:49.22 | ScreaminIke | yea |
| 05:49.40 | zakkm__ | try to see if your nokia can recognize it as a device |
| 05:49.44 | zakkm__ | not as a keyboard |
| 05:49.48 | ScreaminIke | ive had rf before, but not bt |
| 05:49.53 | ScreaminIke | yea |
| 05:49.55 | zakkm__ | rf? |
| 05:50.09 | t_s_o | radio frequency |
| 05:50.11 | ScreaminIke | it has a name and a passcode |
| 05:50.31 | ScreaminIke | but it still fails |
| 05:51.20 | t_s_o | ok, does the bluetooth icon show on the tablet? looks like some rune B |
| 05:51.34 | ScreaminIke | yes |
| 05:51.37 | zakkm__ | what themes do you people use for maemo? |
| 05:51.57 | t_s_o | ok, tap it, then settings, devices, new |
| 05:52.03 | ScreaminIke | yep |
| 05:52.06 | ScreaminIke | yep |
| 05:52.34 | t_s_o | now it will be searching for new devices ever so often, there is probably some button or other on the keyboard for activating pairing mode |
| 05:52.51 | t_s_o | hold said button down and wait for the keyboard to show up on the list of devices |
| 05:53.32 | t_s_o | or maybe just press the button to activate pairing mode, it will depend on product... |
| 05:53.45 | ScreaminIke | holding is fail |
| 05:53.55 | t_s_o | ok |
| 05:54.22 | ScreaminIke | hit n release is fail |
| 05:54.47 | ScreaminIke | i tried to solo the troubleshooting earlier |
| 05:54.49 | t_s_o | anyways, eitehr the passcode is 0000, 1234, or has to be entered into the keyboard number keys, possibly followed by enter |
| 05:55.10 | ScreaminIke | whoa |
| 05:55.17 | ScreaminIke | what? |
| 05:56.34 | t_s_o | ones the keyboard shows up in the "new device" window, selecting it and tapping ok will bring up a dialog with a passcode and a checkbox for "thrusted device", said passcode should be either 0000, 1234, or the random number shown will need to be entered into the keyboard by hitting its number keys |
| 05:56.52 | t_s_o | and leave the checkbox alone ;) |
| 05:57.01 | ScreaminIke | oh |
| 05:57.03 | ScreaminIke | ok |

| 09:38.36 | Stskeeps | it just doesn't want to boot up charging after running out of power |
| 09:38.48 | qwerty12 | och, could be if it's an older chinook release as the nolo was messed up in that :/ |
| 09:39.26 | Stskeeps | is good i have two tablets.. |
| 09:39.39 | qwerty12 | Some report success by leaving their tablet to 'chill'... |
| 09:39.49 | aquatix | Stskeeps: maybe holding the power button for a while will wake it |
| 09:40.00 | aquatix | it randomly did with mine when i had that buggy nolo |
| 09:40.04 | Stskeeps | qwerty12: i'll reflash using another battery and that should help? |
| 09:40.47 | Stskeeps | (just got it bootíng this way) |
| 09:40.54 | qwerty12 | should do |
| 09:41.19 | qwerty12 | If you need that version, you can just flash the nolo from the next release with the fix to the bug |
| 09:42.01 | Stskeeps | nah, gonna flash it totally |

| 10:15.58 | Stskeeps | x29a_N810: certainly a possibility.. was a work n800 that didn't get much attention after i got my own |
| 10:16.02 | aquatix | Stskeeps: if nothing helps, you might try putting the battery in the freezer for a while |
| 10:16.15 | Stskeeps | and it does power on but doesn't get beyond nokia logo |

| 10:20.42 | x29a_N810 | and is it possible to connect an external antenna to the gps? Via the stereojack maybe? Headphones? |

| 10:22.26 | aquatix | maybe i perceived is as such as the screen stays lit when i'm using it :) |

| 10:24.22 | aquatix | RST38h: does the paging file matter in terms of speed too? |
| 10:24.31 | x29a_N810 | Rst38h: virtual ram? No that causes a lot of wd reboots |
| 10:24.35 | aquatix | it's created on the external drive right? |
| 10:25.01 | RST38h | aquatix: not really, I think it swaps rarely anyway |

| 13:59.28 | qgi1 | Hi, anybody found the way to get PenguinTV installed in OS2008? |
| 13:59.39 | RST38h | I installed it but it does not import feeds |
| 13:59.42 | RST38h | Just hangs |
| 13:59.45 | qgi1 | There is a mail from the author saying that is in extras-devel but I don't see it |
| 13:59.52 | RST38h | it is in extras |
| 14:00.12 | qgi1 | chinook extras, then? |
| 14:00.22 | RST38h | dunno, I have both |
| 14:00.33 | lcuk | heh qgil, ive got an idea - this app wants to be your baby, should we teach you how to code? :D (I really hope we find one though its a great idea in principle and appears to be where everything is headed) |
| 14:00.48 | qwerty12_N800 | App manager says it is in diablo extras |
| 14:01.11 | qgi1 | am I blind? "PenguinTV" is the name? |
| 14:01.22 | RST38h | Look for letter "P"! |
| 14:01.27 | qwerty12_N800 | yep, in lowercase |
| 14:01.44 | RST38h | [it looks like a boob on a stick] |
| 14:02.05 | qgi1 | Nothing between Panucci and Personal Launcher.... |
| 14:02.34 | qgi1 | WAIT |
| 14:02.48 | qgi1 | clever me... I had installed it weeks ago! |
| 14:03.20 | RST38h | hehe |
| 14:03.31 | RST38h | but it hangs anyway |
| 14:03.33 | lcuk | haha |
| 14:03.48 | qgi1 | ah yes, I remember - it just dies (or something) |
| 14:04.27 | RST38h | other little problem it has is the intallaion of gtkmozembed |
| 14:05.01 | RST38h | using a renderer already present in the system would be a better idea |
| 14:10.55 | qgi1 | RST38h: well, I guess the PenguinTV maintainer started with a basic port, still having in mind (obviously) the configuration that works best on the desktop |

| 14:20.56 | RST38h | qgil: All I am saying, is steal the general UI |
| 14:21.05 | RST38h | in fact penguintv already does :) |
| 14:22.14 | qgi1 | ah ok |
| 14:23.08 | qgi1 | qwerty12_N800: actually what we are looking for is mainly an efficient desktop plugin |
| 14:23.18 | RST38h | Starting MicroB to view the actual full newspage (like the current reader does) is probably a bad idea |
| 14:23.34 | qwerty12_N800 | qgi1, fair enough :) |
| 14:23.40 | RST38h | Mostly because launching MicroB is akin to launching a space shuttle - long, laborous, dangerous process :) |
| 14:24.00 | RST38h | qgil: What is the problem with the current plugin aside from being unusable? =) |
| 14:24.25 | qgi1 | RST38h: that is not a community project? :) |
| 14:25.14 | qgi1 | RST38h: and for some reason I think that this plugin could be a good chance to give a try to something cross-platform |
| 14:25.16 | RST38h | qgil: it is in your power to make it one ;) |
| 14:25.37 | RST38h | well, if it is a maemo desktop plugin, it can't be cross platform, sorry |
| 14:25.38 | qgi1 | RST38h: mmm yes and no, we can't create communities where there is no interest |
| 14:26.12 | qgi1 | RST38h: the container not, but the mechanics? |
| 14:26.28 | RST38h | qgil: Mechanics are really simple, no real value in cross platforming them |
| 14:26.42 | RST38h | qgil: Somewhere in the file system there is an xml file with the latest haedlines |
| 14:26.54 | RST38h | qgil: You open it, parse XML (libxml) and show the headlines |
| 14:27.08 | RST38h | when the poor user clicks one, you start the real reader |
| 14:27.34 | RST38h | as it is a plugin, you want it small and fast, i.e. it has ot have minimal functionality |
| 14:28.20 | RST38h | Now, for the main reader, you MAY use penguintv, IF it can be made to work properly (does not seem to right now :() |
| 14:29.05 | RST38h | Alternatively, you can run a little local web server at some port like 8080 that will expose cached rss stories to MicroB |
| 14:29.14 | RST38h | using Google-like ajax UI |
| 14:29.36 | RST38h | I can do the ajax ui part if needed, already have it done in PackRat mainly |
| 14:30.13 | RST38h | Won't do anything unless I am sure somebody needs it though (done enough useless work on Maemo design by now) |
| 14:30.58 | qgi1 | I'm still wondering in the right project to support |
| 14:31.18 | qgi1 | is there anything to look on those Firefox add-ons? |
| 14:31.29 | RST38h | the web-server-based thing will probably be the easiest to do but it is really a hack |
| 14:31.32 | qgi1 | is there anything to look at the KDE project, anything Qt based? |
| 14:31.39 | RST38h | FireFox addons do not work well in MicroB |
| 14:31.53 | qgi1 | this might change in Fremantle |
| 14:32.02 | RST38h | QT is supported but is not a basis for Maemo apps |
| 14:32.17 | qgi1 | python is not supported either, if you look this way |
| 14:32.20 | RST38h | Penguin stuff does look nice though |
| 14:32.30 | RST38h | Yes, but Python is de facto supported now :) |
| 14:32.37 | RST38h | Much like Visual Basic in Windows of old |
| 14:33.15 | qgi1 | Being Qt developed by Nokia, you can consider it supported de facto in Frmantle |
| 14:33.24 | RST38h | BTW, Python has a huge drawback |
| 14:33.53 | RST38h | Long startup times. Sam Canola takes 40+ seconds to start for the first time, 20+ seconds for consequent startups |
| 14:34.03 | qwerty12_N800 | <cough> speed </speed> |
| 14:34.18 | RST38h | Well, speed isn't much of a problem as you are mainly doing UI here |
| 14:34.24 | Stskeeps | RST38h: investing in PyPy could probably be a bonus in this area :P |
| 14:34.29 | RST38h | But 40+ seconds is WAY too long to wait |
| 14:34.45 | RST38h | Sts: Nah, I would just do it natively, in GTK. |
| 14:35.09 | RST38h | Or using a little web server as described above. Then it is basically done in MicroB directly |

| 14:36.16 | qgi1 | RST38h: but for something on GTK+ we have the current feed reader, isn't it |
| 14:36.28 | RST38h | qgil: Yes, if you fix it. |
| 14:36.37 | qgi1 | RST38h: I'm curious about reasons to stay away from Qt |
| 14:36.40 | RST38h | qgil: and fixes are not that hard |
| 14:36.56 | qgi1 | there might be a nice story behind an app born in Maemo and then being implemented in S60 as well |
| 14:37.20 | RST38h | qgil: Well, all Maemo apps are now in GTK. So, the OS keeps a copy of GTK libs in memory and everything is dandy |
| 14:37.41 | RST38h | qgil: Now, once you get at least one QT app there, you will have to have both GTK and QT in memory |

| 14:39.16 | Stskeeps | RST38h: interesting |

| 14:39.56 | lcuk | i dont care which toolkit we end up using as long as the widgets are designed for touch, qt is on my tabletpc and it looks amazing and works well with mouse, but the core widgets do not respond nicely to touch yet (like lists and grids) |
| 14:40.57 | lcuk | qt and gtk are identical in this respect |
| 14:41.07 | qwerty12_N800 | RST38h, canola uses a lot of efl stuff which isn't cached. also, the interpreter line has to be set properly for it to be activated on a app (#! /usr/bin/eny python2.5 or python iirc) |
| 14:41.29 | qgi1 | lcuk: well, there are developers working on having Qt performing well in Maemo - how far they will go for Fremantle I don't know for sure but 'good enough' I'd say |
| 14:42.03 | RST38h | qgil: There is one more reason to use a single toolkit for the basic UI and apps |
| 14:42.24 | lcuk | qgil, its not that side of it that worries me - im sure it can be brought in nicely. its the fact something like a general list does not work with finger - apps have event handlers which do things which may prevent automatic changing |

| 14:48.17 | qwerty12_N800 | qgi1, I'd rather, personally, ensure that development was focused on Maemo and let another group port it to another device. At least you may get patches submitted back for bug fixes by observant developers who noticed bugs while porting |

| 14:53.34 | qgi1 | RST38h: one possibility is there is to publish the Fremantle sources as soon as they are done and see if someone wants to take that further |
| 14:53.55 | RST38h | qgil: How about disclosing the source code to, let us say, one or two developers? Like Feed Circuit guy or Penguin guy? |
| 14:54.11 | RST38h | Maybe they will be interested in taking this on? |

| 15:06.45 | Stskeeps | iphone you can hide in front of you |

| 15:07.43 | lcuk | Stskeeps, native x11 rotation is vital in my eyes |

| 15:11.31 | pupnik_ | would be nice for a media player that uses gl textures to display album covers |

| 15:12.12 | alterego | I like answering my own questions. Makes me feel more clevererer |
| 15:12.19 | lcuk | canola is based on efl with evas isnt it? |
| 15:12.31 | lcuk | which has gl underpinnings as well |
| 15:12.42 | alterego | Interesting, I had no idea. |
| 15:13.02 | lcuk | yeah i was looking at evas quite extensively and talking to ummm his name leaves me |
| 15:13.35 | lcuk | its looking like quite an interesting route |
| 15:14.10 | lcuk | since i need gl for the texture rendering and scaling over the top of the rotation it might make sense to use a 2d library |

| 16:19.37 | AStorm | lock time is similar |
| 16:19.58 | AStorm | and the pointless ti junk can't do more |
| 16:20.02 | RST38h | AStorm: Also depends on where satellites are. Close to horizon is more difficult to lock on |
| 16:20.13 | AStorm | I checked the map |
| 16:20.32 | AStorm | when it gets the fix, accuracy is good though |
| 16:20.43 | RST38h | yea, it is accurate |

| 16:22.33 | RST38h | It takes 40-100 seconds here |

| 16:22.47 | AStorm | RST38h, yes, similar |
| 16:22.53 | AStorm | depends a lot on weather |

| 16:22.59 | AStorm | I tested on overcast |
| 16:23.13 | RST38h | overcast sky increases lockon time |

| 16:52.04 | qwerty12 | RST38h, Ah, but I am likely to be braindamaged over years but I will go insane in a very short time if using sb2 |
| 16:52.23 | RST38h | So you will be insane AND braindamaged. A perfect combination! =) |
| 16:52.59 | qwerty12 | The *only* thing I like about sb2 is that you don't have to mess around with kernel options |

| 17:25.02 | RST38h | Doing the same computations |
| 17:25.03 | AStorm | yup |
| 17:25.12 | RST38h | But it still reboots pretty speedily |
| 17:25.12 | AStorm | defensive wiring etc. |
| 17:25.33 | AStorm | because they feed data back to the crashed one |
| 17:25.44 | RST38h | You can crash 'em all |
| 17:25.45 | AStorm | that's not the point |
| 17:25.56 | RST38h | Does not matter, it is all very low tech and very fault tolerant |
| 17:26.10 | AStorm | trick is, you can't react in software to the current watchdog |
| 17:26.19 | AStorm | there's no prio 0 irq sent |
| 17:26.20 | RST38h | That is the whole idea! =) |
| 17:26.24 | AStorm | ... |
| 17:26.33 | RST38h | So, basically, you have to manage that watchdog smarter |
| 17:26.35 | AStorm | softirq usually suffices |
| 17:26.59 | Meiz_n810 | Stskeeps: did you fix the dependancy problem with h-i-m? |
| 17:27.05 | AStorm | although... |
| 17:27.13 | RST38h | You got what you got from TI. So, complaining isn't going to help. |
| 17:27.15 | AStorm | hmm, you could abuse one of the timers |
| 17:27.29 | RST38h | Just manage it smarter instead of relying on the procedure borrowed from Symbian |
| 17:27.55 | AStorm | say, have a timer reset every so often |
| 17:28.08 | AStorm | if cpu is dead, reset won't happen, irq is sent |
| 17:28.27 | AStorm | and timer routine is supposed to take over |
| 17:28.34 | AStorm | kill offender |
| 17:28.44 | AStorm | and everyone rejoices w/o full reboot |
| 17:29.20 | Stskeeps | Meiz_n810: think so |
| 17:29.30 | Stskeeps | Meiz_n810: my imager just crashed so :) |
| 17:29.31 | AStorm | s/cpu is dead/cpu is overloaded/ |
| 17:29.42 | RST38h | AStorm: the prupose of this watchdog is exactly to restart completely dead CPUs |
| 17:29.51 | AStorm | yes |
| 17:30.04 | AStorm | but it does restart busy cpu too for some reason |
| 17:30.06 | AStorm | :P |
| 17:30.11 | RST38h | AStorm: But I would check OMAP3 docs just in case there is a RESET/IRQ setting for it |
| 17:30.21 | RST38h | Timer period is probably too low |
| 17:30.27 | AStorm | we have OMAP2 :P |

| 17:49.09 | AStorm | since timtowtdi |

| 17:49.22 | AStorm | yes |
| 17:49.28 | alterego | I don't even know what that means .. |
| 17:49.28 | AStorm | and ruby can lack it too |
| 17:49.38 | AStorm | check wiki then |

| 17:52.49 | AStorm | alterego, yes, but it's very easy to unintentionally obfuscate in some languages |
| 17:52.54 | AStorm | perl is one |
| 17:52.55 | kpel | AStorm, actually my comment had to do with the way python forces a certain style on the coders. |
| 17:53.01 | alterego | I think it's a bit silly to discredit a language and say it's "like perl" just because it isn't Python. |
| 17:53.11 | AStorm | nah |
| 17:53.21 | AStorm | it's not "like C" :P |
| 17:53.26 | alterego | Python's OO is a joke |
| 17:53.30 | alterego | Why don't we talk about that? |
| 17:53.37 | alterego | Writing OO in python is more like writing OO in C .. |
| 17:53.43 | AStorm | yes, I do like smalltalk too |
| 17:53.48 | AStorm | and I do like ruby |
| 17:54.04 | AStorm | it just brings bad memories back |
| 17:54.09 | alterego | O_o |
| 17:54.09 | AStorm | from perl |
| 17:54.25 | alterego | You obviously haven't used Ruby much. |
| 17:54.39 | AStorm | OO in python works... with operator overloading and all |
| 17:54.46 | alterego | But if you want a language to force you to program in a certain way, and you think that Python does that. Then whatever .. Use python. |
| 17:54.58 | alterego | I suppose it's easier to _not_ use your imagination when writing applications. |
| 17:55.02 | AStorm | it doesn't force anything |
| 17:55.06 | kpel | why exactly OO is good? so far it failed to prevent people from screwing up. |
| 17:55.15 | AStorm | yes, imagination all goes to design |
| 17:55.21 | alterego | Nothing will stop people screwing up. |
| 17:55.25 | lcuk | it just makes it harder to tell where the problem lies ;) |
| 17:55.28 | AStorm | I don't want to think at all when writing code |
| 17:55.31 | kpel | alterego, exactly |
| 17:55.46 | AStorm | *at all* |
| 17:55.52 | lcuk | AStorm, functional programming fixes that problem |
| 17:56.00 | alterego | OO is an abstraction mechanism that in a lot of cases makes it _easier_ to not screw up when working with complex software designs. |
| 17:56.05 | AStorm | if the language doesn't disappear before the abstraction, it sucks |
| 17:56.13 | AStorm | *behind |
| 17:56.20 | alterego | The composition of data and code into black boxes is quite a nice idea really .. |
| 17:56.28 | AStorm | wrong idea |
| 17:56.34 | AStorm | split transforms from data |
| 17:56.37 | kpel | AStorm, if you don't want to think when you are writing code then presumably yo uhave thought an awful lot when you designed it. right? |

| 17:56.51 | alterego | AStorm: there's no such thing as a "wrong idea" |

| 17:57.43 | AStorm | or when I have to add features to make it work |
| 17:57.53 | alterego | If you don't feel comfortable writing OO code, then that's fine. It doesn't make it a bad idea though. |
| 17:58.00 | lcuk | thats one heck of a hang over he will have :D |
| 17:58.02 | AStorm | alterego, OO means objects |
| 17:58.12 | AStorm | real object doesn't have methods |
| 17:58.17 | AStorm | you work on it |
| 17:58.21 | kpel | AStorm, the language will always get in the way, especially when it does most of the work for you. and then you cannot optimize, you cannot fix, yo ujust have to wait for a new version of the compiler. |
| 17:58.22 | alterego | -_- |
| 17:58.26 | alterego | You work _with_ it .. |

| 18:44.16 | alterego | Yes |
| 18:44.56 | alterego | Every month or so I had a read through the maemo planet archives :) So I'm not completely out of the loop. Though I've probably missed the odd thing here and there. |
| 18:45.11 | GAN800 | How about the kernel changelog from the Fremantle pre-alpha? |
| 18:45.33 | alterego | No, I've not read that :) |
| 18:45.38 | alterego | Should I? I have it :) |
| 18:45.47 | GAN800 | Yeah, lots of fun stuff in there |
| 18:46.16 | GAN800 | Accelerometers, FM transmitter, etc, etc. |
| 18:47.04 | alterego | I was hoping the N810 would have an accelarometer .. |
| 18:47.20 | alterego | We never got an Easter egg for the N810 |
| 18:47.33 | GAN800 | Hehe |
| 18:47.35 | RST38h | why, you did |
| 18:47.41 | RST38h | It is called the watchdog =) |
| 18:48.16 | GAN800 | Nokia should have an easteregg planned for every hardware release. :D |
| 18:48.18 | alterego | I don't remember getting a dog for Easter :P Unless you're talking about the drunken night fling with that Polish girl .. |
| 18:49.00 | alterego | Interesting .. I can't find the kernel package. |
| 18:49.45 | qwerty12_N801 | alterego, http://repository.maemo.org/pool/maemo5.0/free/k/kernel/ |
| 18:49.45 | alterego | TV out? cool .. |
| 18:50.15 | RST38h | BTW, still now news on what CPU 5800 and upcoming N97 have? |
| 18:50.28 | RST38h | From the specs, it looks like N97 will have the same hw as N900 |
| 18:50.39 | alterego | That's not suprising. |
| 18:50.58 | alterego | The N8X0 had the same hardware as the N96/5 |
| 18:51.10 | alterego | By hardware I mean CPU .. :) |
| 18:51.15 | GAN800 | RST38h, N97 is an ARM11 |
| 18:51.27 | GAN800 | Likely in the 600MHz range |
| 18:51.43 | RST38h | GAN: ARM11 is not a SoC. It is a core. |
| 18:51.54 | RST38h | Who makes the SoC though? |
| 18:51.58 | GAN800 | You asked about CPU |
| 18:52.00 | alterego | TI usually |
| 18:52.00 | RST38h | Is it OMAP3? |
| 18:52.07 | alterego | OMAP is TI |
| 18:52.08 | GAN800 | Not with an ARM11 |
| 18:52.22 | alterego | The N900 is an OMAP3 .. |
| 18:52.23 | GAN800 | OMAP3 is a Cortex A8 |
| 18:52.23 | RST38h | Is it Qualcomm then? |
| 18:52.33 | GAN800 | That'd be my bet |
| 18:53.16 | GAN800 | TI doesn't make an OMAP2 faster than 400MHz |
| 18:54.32 | alterego | Good job too. Any more would be _insance_ |
| 18:54.36 | alterego | ~insane |
| 18:54.37 | infobot | insane is, like, crazy, cuckoo, batty, wacky, nutters. Debian's bureaucracy, or sjansen |
| 18:54.38 | alterego | chuckles. |
| 18:54.51 | alterego | Hah |
| 18:55.27 | qwerty12_N801 | wouldn't complain :P. I used to use a ppc with a 533mhz xscale overclocked to around 600 :P |
| 18:55.46 | GAN800 | Well, the iPhone is a ~600MHz ARM11 |
| 18:55.46 | alterego | A "PPC" XScale? |
| 18:55.49 | alterego | What?! |
| 18:55.57 | alterego | The iphone is an OMAP2 .. |
| 18:56.08 | alterego | Hang on .. |
| 18:56.12 | GAN800 | Samsung SoC |
| 18:56.15 | GAN800 | Not OMAP2 |
| 18:56.23 | pupnik_ | right GAN800 |
| 18:56.27 | alterego | I thought the iphone/touch was the same as in the N8X0 |
| 18:56.34 | pupnik_ | is not |
| 18:56.35 | alterego | Oh well, my mistake. |
| 18:56.35 | GAN800 | Nope |
| 18:56.50 | GAN800 | Similar. ARM11, and PowerVR MBX |
| 18:56.59 | GAN800 | But not the same. |

| 19:10.10 | x29a | eean: totally reflashing could be an option |
| 19:10.22 | eean | I don't have my usb cord with me |
| 19:11.30 | alterego | You could try and flash it on-device ^_^ |
| 19:11.41 | eean | err |
| 19:11.44 | eean | that sounds impossible :P |
| 19:12.06 | eean | I do have a 8gb minisd |
| 19:12.12 | eean | I was wondering if I could install an OS and boot off that |
| 19:12.15 | alterego | Not impossible, just tricky. |
| 19:12.21 | alterego | Yes, you can. |
| 19:12.32 | alterego | Quite a few people "boot from SD". |
| 19:12.32 | x29a | lol |
| 19:12.37 | eean | whats the url or google search term for that? |
| 19:12.39 | x29a | alterego: that slogan is SO worn out |
| 19:12.41 | eean | I wanted to do that anyways |
| 19:13.21 | alterego | Well, it's either that or "Not impossible, just really f*cking hard". |
| 19:13.58 | x29a | eean: http://wiki.maemo.org/Booting_from_a_flash_card |
| 19:17.55 | x29a | alterego: do you happen to know if its possible to install apps to the internal mmc in an N810? |
| 19:18.17 | Stskeeps | clone to sd, yeah :P |
| 19:18.25 | alterego | You can if you use unionfs or make a symlink. |
| 19:18.27 | eean | x29a: maybe you could make the root bigger with unionfs |
| 19:18.37 | Stskeeps | unionfs isn't trivial on tablet |
| 19:18.39 | eean | you'd have to do something fancy like that |
| 19:18.52 | x29a | symlinking sounds easy |
| 19:18.52 | qwerty12_N801 | unionfs requires a custom kernel |
| 19:19.03 | x29a | moah, why, just why? |
| 19:19.24 | Stskeeps | just clone to SD. it's quite stable |
| 19:19.24 | Stskeeps | :P |
| 19:19.35 | x29a | booting from sd? |
| 19:19.49 | qwerty12_N801 | i had to export an extra symbol, you should find my post on itt if you're interested. but sd-bott is way more straight forward |
| 19:19.51 | x29a | but that is the external one i put in the slot, right? |
| 19:20.02 | eean | (the normal root system is faster I think, someone looked it up here once) |
| 19:21.04 | x29a | hmm, putting apps i need on a frequent basis where speed matters on internal storage and the rest on internal external would be sweet |
| 19:21.22 | x29a | so i guess the /dev/mmc is just a plain data drive for vids and mp3 or so? |
| 19:21.35 | eean | you'd need some sort of fancy shell scripts |
| 19:22.32 | x29a | meh |
| 19:22.47 | x29a | as im reading, its also possible to boot from /media/mmc2? |
| 19:23.00 | x29a | which is the card which is builtin? thatd be an option to consider |
| 19:23.32 | qwerty12_N801 | built in = /media/mmc2 = /dev/mmcblk0 |
| 19:24.00 | x29a | yeah, so i can boot from that? |
| 19:24.04 | x29a | like put my rootfs there? |
| 19:24.19 | qwerty12_N801 | sure |
| 19:24.23 | qwerty12_N801 | ~boot-sd |
| 19:24.24 | infobot | hmm... boot-sd is https://wiki.maemo.org/Booting_from_a_flash_card |
| 19:24.26 | eean | its a catch 22 with my n810 right now - I need internet to reinstall the browser and I need a browser to get the Panera wifi to work :) |
| 19:24.43 | alterego | Heh |
| 19:25.32 | eean | could try doing it with sneakernet |
| 19:25.37 | alterego | Wow, it's been 339 days since I looked at the ruby-maemo source O_O |
| 19:25.48 | alterego | That's even longer than I originally thought. |
| 19:26.13 | x29a | are there big known disadvantages or problems with booting from /media/mmc2? |
| 19:26.15 | lcuk | switches his laptop to powersave mode and keeps it there |
| 19:26.44 | eean | huh http://wiki.maemo.org/Booting_from_a_flash_card assumes your n810 OS is in good shape :P |
| 19:27.43 | eean | x29a: well for $30 you could get a 8gb card, if you're going to boot of a flash anyways ;) |
| 19:28.42 | x29a | eean: i already ordered one, but i want it NOW |
| 19:28.49 | eean | lol :) |
| 19:29.03 | x29a | eean: kinda like me sayin 'eean: well for 10 bucks you could buy a cable' |
| 19:29.17 | eean | ah yep exactly |
| 19:29.52 | eean | is fumbling with this mainly because he is bored visiting in-laws :P |
| 19:29.54 | x29a | but i get your point, i think ill just wait, not so important |
| 19:30.20 | x29a | absolute boredom should result in a self-made usbcable ;) |
| 19:30.29 | eean | haha yea |
| 19:30.48 | eean | if I had a tool to make a usb cable, I would probably freakin' have a usb cable though |
| 19:31.33 | alterego | Heh |
| 19:31.41 | lcuk | x29a, the only downside to using mmc2 on an n810 is that it is soldered on, if a defect forms its unusable |
| 19:32.00 | alterego | eean: the package you're looking for should be called something like microb* |
| 19:32.01 | x29a | lcuk: so going with /media/mmc1 is _teh_ way to go |
| 19:32.08 | lcuk | you are better to get a card in the slot for OS and data yeah |
| 19:32.30 | lcuk | less concern about future usage |
| 19:32.51 | eean | alterego: yea I have microb-engine installed, and thats pretty much all there is. I think I may have lost some repositories at the same time... |
| 19:32.52 | x29a | lcuk: if all fails, can i reflash the internal storage with the image again? |
| 19:33.12 | alterego | microb-ui |
| 19:33.16 | lcuk | as far as i know yes, but ive never odne it, so read up some more |
| 19:33.21 | lcuk | done ^ |
| 19:33.26 | eean | alterego: yea apt-cache doesn't list that :) |
| 19:33.32 | qwerty12_N801 | eean, N810 or N800? |
| 19:33.34 | x29a | k, im good for now, thanks for the information folks |
| 19:33.35 | eean | n810 |
| 19:33.39 | alterego | Oh |
| 19:33.53 | eean | guess I should be patient and reflash |
| 19:34.45 | alterego | You could try installing 'osso-browser' ? |
| 19:35.39 | eean | only the -l10n files are available |
| 19:35.44 | qwerty12_N801 | eean, apt-get install osso-software-version-rx44 will probably fail but it should s@y what it is missing |
| 19:35.55 | alterego | Ah, good idea. |
| 19:37.17 | eean | indeed |

| 21:40.26 | crashanddie | why? |
| 21:40.37 | jake_ | but i don't know how to run two commands consecutively in the background |
| 21:40.42 | jake_ | it's for a project of mine |
| 21:41.51 | jakemaheu | lcuk, can you help? |
| 21:43.04 | lcuk | i can barely string 2 words wotgether in the console, why would i be able to run backgroundprocesses? |
| 21:43.06 | crashanddie | (echo test &) && (echo another test &) |
| 21:43.08 | crashanddie | ? |
| 21:43.30 | lcuk | but why do they need to be run as subprocesses? cant you justy call them consecutively and wait for them to finish |
| 21:43.32 | crashanddie | (echo test && echo another test) & |
| 21:44.34 | jakemaheu | @lcuk: no, because sfdisk is an interactive command, so it runs and i need to run this right before so it will run during sfdisk |
| 21:44.53 | jakemaheu | crashanddie: thanks, i'll try that |
| 21:45.07 | lcuk | how will you know it finished properly and whether it failed? |
| 21:45.14 | crashanddie | lcuk: logs |
