| 02:08.02 | sisto | i didn't like the gpe option though... it's a virtual machine of another pda running on top of maemo on a 400mhz arm processor |
| 02:08.06 | sisto | that's probably slow |
| 02:08.24 | sisto | yup |
| 02:08.43 | sisto | so you use the console all the time? |
| 02:09.03 | LinuxHack3r | sisto: A lot of the time. If I can confortably. |
| 02:09.57 | sisto | LinuxHack3r: i'm not sure gpe runs virtualized though... i might have read an outdated article |
| 02:10.03 | LinuxHack3r | sisto: http://pastebin.com/m6ff9e938 Save that one as a bash file...then try it out...of course it won't lookup anything...but you could easily create a mysql db with the given stuff. |

| 02:12.36 | sisto | there's probably other stuff floating around |
| 02:12.51 | sisto | i think i ran into a blog post with a long list of repositories once |

| 02:19.47 | sisto | it's a media player which supports audio and video, youtube, radios and podcasts |
| 02:20.24 | LinuxHack3r | I've seen it....looks neat. Sorta a "ipod overlay", so to say. |
| 02:20.52 | sisto | yes... the reasons i want it are youtube and podcasts |
| 02:21.02 | sisto | youtube is kinda slow on the browser... but it runs well on this |

| 02:23.57 | sisto | yeah |
| 02:24.05 | sisto | but you can get fairly close to that |

| 07:40.54 | qwerty12 | I guess you do mean on a tablet. |
| 07:40.56 | pupnik | qwhy is it faster than swap |
| 07:41.01 | AStorm | because it's in ram |
| 07:41.06 | AStorm | it's ram compression |
| 07:41.16 | pupnik | oh |
| 07:41.55 | pupnik | fungulous |
| 07:41.57 | AStorm | actually, a compressed filesystem similar to based on ramfs |
| 07:42.10 | AStorm | which you can use as a swap device |
| 07:42.22 | AStorm | and Linux is fairly smart to swap stuff into that |
| 07:42.51 | AStorm | and you can have more than one swap device already, with priorities set |
| 07:43.27 | AStorm | so it may swap to compressed area first, then if it's not enough, to disk (possibly compressed too - we need a compressed filesystem for a swap file :> ) |
| 07:44.06 | AStorm | the only downside there might be is thrashing in ram ;P shouldn't be too noticeable |
| 07:45.35 | persia | It really depends on the use case. If you're expecting to regularly need swap, compcache *really* speeds things up. If you happen to be able to operate within your memory, there's a slight slowdown. If I recall correctly, in Ubuntu it was determined to apply compcache if the system memory was less than 256MB. |
| 07:46.26 | AStorm | what slowdown? |
| 07:46.44 | persia | AStorm, mostly compression costs, as I understand it. |
| 07:46.48 | AStorm | if it's not used, it shouldn't slow things down... |
| 07:46.54 | AStorm | nah, disk cache |
| 07:47.08 | AStorm | that may cause slowdown - you'll lose a bit of it |
| 07:47.12 | persia | disk cache doesn't get swapped :) |
| 07:47.18 | AStorm | yes |
| 07:47.26 | AStorm | the problem is that you now have less |
| 07:47.40 | AStorm | because part of memory is taken by compcache |
| 07:48.04 | persia | I beleive the Ubuntu implementation was to split the memory 50/50, so if you use 100 MB on a 128MB device without compcache, it's normal, and with compcache, you've 36MB compressed, so you pay the computational cost of compressing that data. |
| 07:48.06 | AStorm | on n8x0, it might help... |
| 07:48.15 | AStorm | too much IMO |
| 07:48.18 | persia | Those are 128MB, right? |
| 07:48.24 | AStorm | I'd use 3/4:1/4 myself |
| 07:48.27 | AStorm | no, 256 MB |
| 07:48.35 | AStorm | I do sometimes get into swap there |
| 07:48.48 | AStorm | and that is horrible, considering how slow flash is |
| 07:49.06 | persia | heh. Yeah. swap-on-flash is just bad, any way you look at it. |
| 07:49.34 | AStorm | well, if we had a compressed filesystem for mmc... it would speed up swapping many times |
| 07:49.49 | AStorm | or a variant - compressed swap file support |
| 07:49.59 | AStorm | I'll check if there's such a kernel patch |
| 07:50.28 | persia | I'd think a compressed filesystem would be cleaner: fewer syscalls. |
| 07:51.29 | *** join/#maemo doc|home (n=doc@gentoo/contributor/doc-007) |
| 07:51.35 | AStorm | hm? |
| 07:51.51 | AStorm | there are compressed filesystems - and no, it won't be cleaner by any stretch of the word |
| 07:52.08 | AStorm | you'll throw in many writes to the fs |
| 07:52.20 | AStorm | then it will compress them block by block |
| 07:52.34 | AStorm | and recompress trailing block(s) as you write more |
| 07:52.49 | persia | Oh, right. It needs something special. I was confused by "swapfile". I think best solution would just be a compressed swap partition. |
| 07:52.57 | AStorm | exactly |
| 07:53.02 | AStorm | or even indeed any compressed swap |
| 07:53.09 | persia | Given the compression in compcache is designed for swap, if it doesn't exist, it oughtn't be too hard to hack. |
| 07:53.11 | AStorm | someone did that already I think |
| 07:53.23 | AStorm | yes, it should |
| 07:53.50 | AStorm | the problem is not compression itself |
| 07:54.03 | AStorm | it's the need for kernel modification - and swap is not a filesystem |
| 07:55.27 | AStorm | hmm, well |
| 07:55.39 | AStorm | if we had compcache on tmpfs equivalent... that is swappable... |
| 07:55.49 | persia | Hrm? |
| 07:55.54 | AStorm | indirection indeed, but would work |
| 07:55.56 | persia | That's just tangled. |
| 07:56.04 | persia | compcache lives in real memory. |
| 07:56.06 | AStorm | you'd swap compcache to swap |
| 07:56.10 | AStorm | yes it does |
| 07:56.19 | AStorm | now, assume compcache is swappable to disk |
| 07:56.25 | AStorm | what do we get? |
| 07:56.28 | AStorm | :> |
| 07:57.14 | AStorm | the trick would be marking it to get always swapped out |
| 07:57.25 | AStorm | I don't know how that is to be done |
| 07:57.42 | persia | Wouldn't it be easier just to define a compressed swap module? |
| 07:57.50 | persia | There's some history of work on that. |
| 07:57.53 | AStorm | module? swap is part of vm |
| 07:58.06 | AStorm | gimme a module, I want it |
| 07:58.09 | persia | looks for something more concrete than a presentation |
| 07:58.27 | persia | http://www.celinux.org/elc08_presentations/belyakov_elc2008_compressed_swap_final_ppt.pdf is a hint, at least |
| 07:58.28 | AStorm | that presentation I noticed was adding a layer on top of MTD |
| 07:58.32 | AStorm | this is a lie |
| 07:58.42 | AStorm | it's much like putting a swapfile on a compressed filesystem |
| 07:58.49 | AStorm | I can do that already w/o hacks. |
| 07:59.00 | AStorm | (using btrfs) |
| 07:59.17 | AStorm | the idea is to move compression above swap |
| 07:59.25 | AStorm | and in this paper, it's below swap |
| 07:59.52 | persia | Right. The paper was more that someone is thinking about it: I agree that implementation leaves a fair bit to be desired. |
| 08:00.08 | AStorm | thinking is good - code is better |
| 08:00.22 | AStorm | now, I don't feel like hacking Linux VM subsystem |
| 08:00.45 | AStorm | especially free memory estimator |
| 08:01.40 | AStorm | for now, we can live with "compressed fs" overhead |
| 08:01.46 | AStorm | should still be a major performance win |
| 08:02.06 | AStorm | but to do that, I need a compressed filesystem that will hold a swapfile |
| 08:02.42 | persia | Depends on the use case. I tend to carry a Zaurus, so 256MB sounds like a lot to me, and I'm not sure I'd want to run enough to fill it. |
| 08:02.57 | AStorm | it's not a lot |
| 08:03.00 | AStorm | it's like, 3 apps |
| 08:03.26 | AStorm | say: run canola, browser and a bunch of terminal windows, plus standard hildon desktop |
| 08:03.30 | AStorm | and you'll hit swap |
| 08:05.48 | AStorm | even easier if you use any of: maemopad+, xournal (esp. xournal which is horribly stupid in its memory use) |
| 08:06.48 | AStorm | it indeed is not too hard to overload these 256 MB |

| 08:15.46 | persia | Actually, looking at compcache, there's no reason to look at compressed swap separately. |
| 08:16.18 | persia | From what I understand, it doesn't uncompress when going from swap-on-ram to swap-on-disk, so you get compressed-swap-on-disk as a side benefit. |
| 08:16.29 | AStorm | no, you don't |
| 08:16.33 | *** join/#maemo bongo (n=user@xdsl-87-78-59-75.netcologne.de) |

| 08:17.16 | AStorm | thus, made useless |
| 08:17.26 | persia | Right, but what happens when it gets full? From what I understand, the kernel preferentially uses compcache, and then falls back to swap-on-disk. |
| 08:17.34 | AStorm | yes |
| 08:17.39 | AStorm | and it's decompressed. |
| 08:17.40 | persia | You're suggesting that there's a decompress step happening there? |
| 08:17.44 | AStorm | yes |
| 08:18.03 | AStorm | it's being read into ram, then swapped to the other swap device |
| 08:18.21 | AStorm | how would you read it otherwise? some binary copy hack? |
| 08:18.53 | AStorm | that wouldn't work on compressed or discontiguous filesystems... |
| 08:19.11 | AStorm | unless there's an api to do so, maybe vmsplice |
| 08:19.19 | AStorm | still, it's on FS level |
| 08:19.37 | AStorm | and I'm fairly certain compcache will decompress when being read from |

| 12:06.48 | johnx | wimax is a standard the same way GSM is a standard :) |
| 12:07.00 | johnx | but even wifi is different in different countries |
| 12:07.03 | AStorm | mhm |
| 12:07.16 | AStorm | not a lot though |
| 12:07.30 | AStorm | with wimax, you have to cover 10 bands or so |
| 12:07.33 | johnx | tell that to someone taking their Italian N800 to Japan :) |
| 12:07.52 | AStorm | it will work, but non-compliant |

| 12:13.21 | Jaffa | dob: hmm, OK - I'll think. The new wiki layout as part of the maemo.org revamp may solve the problem |
| 12:13.21 | mavhc | there must be some countries with no broadcast tv that could have gigabit wifi |
| 12:13.23 | lcukx41 | we should return to visible light communications |
| 12:13.24 | AStorm | mavhc: good too, but impossible |
| 12:13.35 | AStorm | lcukx41: har har |
| 12:13.54 | AStorm | too short range |
| 12:13.58 | lcukx41 | im serious some guy has reinvented a visible light router |
| 12:14.02 | mavhc | no impossible, in 20 years it'll be cheaper to send hdtv over ip than broadcast |
| 12:14.03 | dob | Jaffa: I already fixed it :) |
| 12:14.18 | Meizirkki | @450 has really long range |
| 12:14.51 | lcukx41 | and astorm, light travels a bloody long way, its only problem is pesky things get in its way |

| 14:01.58 | Stskeeps | going for the things that are absolutely needed for HW interfacing, or try to grab a little more, and risk legal going into a fit :) |
| 14:02.22 | Jaffa | Start off with the minimum, if the process works grow over time. |
| 14:02.31 | Jaffa | An ongoing relationship is more useful, after all |
| 14:03.02 | Stskeeps | ah, the bigger list was based on the statement of quim: owever, they ask whether it would be possible to have a |
| 14:03.06 | Stskeeps | complete list of closed components you need, so they can look at them in |
| 14:03.07 | Stskeeps | one go and make a decision. This is specially relevant for 3rd parties |
| 14:03.09 | Stskeeps | components. |
| 14:03.13 | Jaffa | True. |
| 14:03.40 | Stskeeps | which could indeed become a big list |
| 14:04.07 | Stskeeps | but also something that really hasn't been seen before in OSS vs big company things ;) |
| 14:04.09 | Jaffa | 3 parts of list: "Must have" (incl. BME etc.); "Would be really good to have" (Flash), "Would be nice to have" (any random app bundled as standard)? |
| 14:06.42 | persia | In the specific case of Flash, it's probably third-party. Might be better to work with Adobe on that one. |
| 14:07.02 | Stskeeps | yeah |
| 14:07.28 | Stskeeps | persia: basically we're in the progress of an interesting discussion with Nokia about being able to construct firmware images with nokia stuff if they're provided to nokia tablet ownes |

| 14:07.38 | rzr | what about silverlight ? |
| 14:07.40 | Jaffa | persia: fat chance. Nokia have licenced it for use on their tablets; the licence agreement between Nokia & Adobe won't say who writes the OS |
| 14:07.44 | Jaffa | rzr: what about it? |
| 14:07.57 | rzr | is it supported on omap ? |
| 14:08.04 | persia | Stskeeps, redistribution of Nokia binaries, or request for source for those components? |
| 14:08.10 | Jaffa | Redistribution |
| 14:08.15 | Stskeeps | persia: distribution of nokia binaries |
| 14:08.34 | Stskeeps | source, they did 80% and is opening up for some of them, no use barking up a tree and wait for ages :P |
| 14:08.41 | persia | Jaffa, The point is more that Nokia is probably limited in what they can do, and may not have direct interest in chasing Adobe. |
| 14:09.01 | *** join/#maemo housetier (n=housetie@unaffiliated/housetier) |
| 14:09.21 | Jaffa | persia: the point is that if the images are built on Nokia servers and distributed behind the same EULA, it should fall under the same licence they already have |
| 14:09.50 | persia | Stskeeps, Oh, that's interesting. I might still expect issues with third-party stuff, and some of the branding stuff, but HW enablement, and some of the apps might be suitable. |
| 14:09.50 | *** join/#maemo tekonivel (i=mace@MKCCXXV.gprs.saunalahti.fi) |
| 14:09.59 | Stskeeps | persia: yeah, obviously |
| 14:10.07 | Stskeeps | still, quite interesting chance |
| 14:10.11 | Jaffa | So it's very much a Nokia thing to ask them if a Mer image build on Nokia servers can include arbitrary binary blobs which Nokia have licenced. |
| 14:10.47 | persia | Jaffa, Yes, but distribution licenses are often distributor-restricted, and third-party licenses sometimes include a royalty payment, which gets extra complicated. |
| 14:11.46 | persia | Jaffa, Well, kinda. Depends on positioning. If Nokia says these are Nokia-distributed Mer images, sure. If Nokia says that Nokia provides build infrastructure to Mer, and Mer distributes binaries, that's something else. |
| 14:12.10 | tekonivel | Hai. I've had N800 browser crashing on me a lot, so i frustrated and haven't used my n800 for a while. I wonder if it's better and faster nowadays? |
| 14:12.21 | persia | Personally, if I were in Nokia legal, I'd probably take the latter option, to try to avoid liability for that not under direct control. |
| 14:12.26 | Jaffa | persia: The discussion is already at the point of building such images on Nokia machines, and distributed through the same download site as other tablet firmware images |
| 14:12.39 | persia | Excellent! |
| 14:12.58 | GeneralAntilles | tekonivel, that depends on how long "a while" is. |
| 14:13.06 | Jaffa | In other words, Nokia do not give non-EULA restricted binaries out, they are combined and then shipped to people who can supply a tablet MAC |
| 14:13.45 | tekonivel | Maybe 6 months or so |
| 14:13.55 | GeneralAntilles | Then yes, things have gotten a lot better. |
| 14:14.33 | tekonivel | The browser was horribly slow and kept getting to the state of /not responding/ all the time |
| 14:15.00 | persia | Jaffa, Ah, in that case, you may be right about Flash. I just tend to be conservative about these things. |
| 14:15.23 | tekonivel | Hmm, maybe i should postpone replacing it with an Eee and update the n800 to see for myself |
| 14:15.35 | Jaffa | Indeed, very sensible - except when it's known that it might be possible ;-) |
| 14:16.18 | tekonivel | Well they're quite different kinds of devices. Maybe i better give n800 an another chance |

| 14:33.46 | tekonivel | I'll start by updating the n800 |
| 14:33.57 | GeneralAntilles | TeQuiL, yes. |
| 14:34.13 | TeQuiL | now it is stacked on the primary boot screen with the nokia logo and the USB sign top right....next? |
| 14:34.38 | tekonivel | GeneralAntilles: hmm you're right, i admit |

| 14:43.07 | GeneralAntilles | You forgot to add -R. ;) |
| 14:43.12 | GeneralAntilles | Unplug USB and restart it. |
| 14:43.22 | trenka | you can say flasher -R now |
| 14:43.27 | trenka | it does not matter |
| 14:43.43 | trenka | nolo is in the command handling loop |
| 14:44.02 | tekonivel | New and impressive Maemo 5 will run on n800 or only that rx51? |
| 14:44.05 | Jaffa | What do people think the best mer screenshots are? I'll add a gallery to the Mer/About page |
| 14:44.26 | Jaffa | tekonivel: Probably officially only RX-51. Whatever can be backported to run on the older hardware will be, probably as part of Mer. |
| 14:44.49 | Stskeeps | Jaffa: Meiz has a pretty good collection |
| 14:45.05 | Jaffa | also has an idea to (at some point) see if a version of clutter can be compiled which will just skip all the animations. This might allow people to run Clutter-using Fremantle apps on lower end hardware |

| 15:35.57 | lcuk | jaffa, if you are serious about trying, you could look for an opengl compliant api capable of running in cpu so that clutter can happily sit ontop of it. you could then optimize by using a lower resolution graphics mode (something like the tearfree Xv RGB mode ssvb has incorporated which should autoscale like liqbase). for the opengl baseline theres TinyGL which is geared to allowing a minimal subset of OGL. its also compilable an |

| 16:17.19 | qwerty12 | hey RST38h, I'm packaging Droid Sans fonts for Mer. Dunno if that can be called exciting :) |
| 16:18.29 | Jaffa | qwerty12: Pretty exciting if you ask me. |
| 16:18.36 | Jaffa | qwerty12: actually, you could stick the package in extras, too |
| 16:18.59 | qwerty12 | Jaffa, sure, I will do :) |
| 16:19.31 | qwerty12 | Though I may replace the rules file, I hate cdbs with a passion... |
| 16:19.33 | RST38h | qwerty: Sounds like there is a problem with them though |

| 16:20.14 | Jaffa | There's no problem. They're Apache licenced. |
| 16:20.14 | qwerty12 | RST38h, hehe :) |
| 16:20.46 | qwerty12 | RST38h, package is dfsg compliant (took from Ubuntu's universe) so I place all my hopes into that :) |

| 17:29.05 | Stslaptop | fiasco though? there's a newer kernel |
| 17:29.09 | AStorm | yeah, see, it's virtualization... |
| 17:29.21 | Stslaptop | pistachio i played quite a while with |

| 17:29.32 | AStorm | woglinde: not all *that* much |

| 17:29.41 | AStorm | yes, you don't |

| 17:31.25 | AStorm | but I'd prefer to do it w/o hacking kernel |
| 17:31.54 | dob | Stslaptop: I mean, does it mount the root fs, does it run the initscripts etc.? It seems it doesn't do much else than load the kernel? |

| 17:35.17 | AStorm | preferably w/o hacking the kernel |
| 17:35.26 | lcuk | Stskeeps, why not kernel? |

| 17:36.01 | AStorm | uh? |
| 17:36.05 | lcuk | ? you use the diablo kernel? |
| 17:36.06 | AStorm | it does build with gcc 4 |
| 17:36.14 | Stslaptop | well, okay, when -i- tried, it failed |
| 17:36.18 | lcuk | lol |
| 17:36.21 | AStorm | use proper gcc then |

| 17:37.01 | dob | could it be that the bootmenu usb recovery mode doesn't do anything with the selected root device? seems plausible... |
| 17:37.10 | Stslaptop | dob: yes, doesn't mount it |
| 17:37.15 | AStorm | why should it? |
| 17:37.22 | Stslaptop | dob: mer's usb recovery thing is after selecting mer :) |
| 17:37.24 | AStorm | it runs all its stuff from initfs |
| 17:38.23 | qwerty12 | dob, edit bootmenu.sh (uncomment lines somewhere) to let you press menu button to go back to bootmenu while keeping usbnet active and then just boot from root device as normal. I was able to run ps from initfs and it showed maemo processes starting up. |

| 17:58.47 | Jaffa | dob: I think the installation instructions could be nicely done under Mer/Documentation/Installation - but I wasn't sure whether to have one page per type, or one page for all, or one page per release. |
| 17:58.54 | Jaffa | So I stopped thinking about it |
| 17:59.04 | Jaffa | qwerty12: no, it's a good idea. |
| 17:59.32 | Jaffa | Although, how does Ubuntu's "Add/remove software" (Synaptic?) decide what to show? It has human readable titles as well |
| 17:59.35 | Stskeeps | qwerty12: "show all categories" wouldn't be a bad thing |
| 17:59.48 | Stskeeps | Jaffa: the categories does correspond to a name |

| 18:00.03 | qwerty12 | Jaffa, I know :). I'm poking fun because in Mer, trying to enumerate all the packages in red pill mode will probably crash h-a-m which would probably dissuade most users from trying to enable it again :P |

| 18:01.40 | Jaffa | Hmm. For example, top of the "All" list in Intrepid is "20.000 Light Years Into Space", which is `lightyears'. apt-cache show lightyears doesn't show where it's getting that title and category from. |
| 18:02.15 | Jaffa | dob: Hmm. That's because no-one wants to read all Mer's documentation. They want to read "Installation (i.e. release) documentation" or "Development documentation". |
| 18:02.30 | Jaffa | So perhaps /Documentation isn't needed at all (although useful for categorisation?) |
| 18:02.41 | Jaffa | dob: By "type" I meant "platform" |
| 18:05.26 | dob | Jaffa: sounds reasonable. No need to delete that page, but wouldn't categories be suitable for that kind of categorisation in mediawiki? :) |
| 18:10.13 | dob | Jaffa: I think a separate installation page isn't needed yet as I imagine the instructions would change between releases (i.e. it's fine to have the instructions right on the release page, it's not too long yet) |

| 18:48.44 | lcuk | (and it also meant white text could not be used near it |

| 18:53.51 | t_s_o | meep |
| 18:54.00 | DarkenCZ | Stskeeps: I installed from tgz file and just unpack it to partition, maybe I forget to include somehint (module loading) |
| 18:54.01 | b-man | MEEP!! |
| 18:54.44 | t_s_o | heh, maybe ill try that ones i finally get those 8GB sd cards, darn messed up order... |
| 18:54.44 | DarkenCZ | I taping to field like crazy, I see the cursor is blinking, but keyboard don't work |
| 18:54.45 | Stskeeps | DarkenCZ: did you make a bootmenu item? |
| 18:55.17 | DarkenCZ | Stskeeps: I did, but maybe I forget to add some parameter |
| 18:55.28 | Stskeeps | DarkenCZ: pastebin it for me (rafb.net/paste) if it's okay |
| 18:55.38 | Stskeeps | also, make sure you used gnutar to unpack with |
| 18:56.14 | Stskeeps | b-man: can you make a .install file for deb btw? |
| 18:56.20 | Stskeeps | since it needs things not in standard repositories |
| 18:56.41 | DarkenCZ | Stskeeps: I will... but there should not be problem with tar, I successfully get mer screen, see loading graphics and then name dialog... wait a while, I paste you my bootmenu |
| 18:56.55 | Stskeeps | DarkenCZ: yeah, but things can get tricky once in a while :) |
| 18:57.00 | Jake42-2 | In case I install easy debian in mmc1, would I be able afterwards to uninstall this just by formating the whole mmc1??? |

| 19:01.11 | DarkenCZ | Stskeeps: I used to boot deblet from this menu :) |
| 19:01.31 | Stskeeps | DarkenCZ: is it the deblet bootmenu with LINUXRC support? we removed non-deblet bootmenu support so |

| 19:02.05 | DarkenCZ | I tried to install installer from deb, but it told me that deb fine is not binary compatible |

| 19:02.57 | DarkenCZ | bootmenu I thing |
| 19:03.05 | Stskeeps | check if you can :) |
| 19:03.07 | Stskeeps | merinstaller, you need to add extras-devel repository |

| 20:44.23 | Jaffa | Stskeeps: given Nokia want to differentiate with apps, I suspect it'll be hardware binary blobs & Flash for the time being. Some parts of Fremantle UI layer, maybe - depending on what it ships. For example, if it ships a kick ass Media Player on top of MIDAS, maybe Mer'll want that |
| 20:44.32 | Stskeeps | Jaffa: *nod* |

| 20:58.31 | Stskeeps | dob: hmm, that's odd |
| 20:59.19 | Jaffa | Stskeeps: I'm quite happy to argue with Nokia if the answer comes back for Flash with "um, no". If it comes back with a good explanation, perhaps less so ;-) |
| 21:00.04 | r2d2rogers | dob I can hit it when I see the pivot root first appear, and hold hime till the menu comes up |
| 21:00.40 | r2d2rogers | I can also get the menu if I wait till the splash screen appears but hit home before two notches od progress. |
| 21:00.50 | qwerty12_N800 | dob, that happened to me when my partition number was wrong, fstype was wrong & modules were wrong for ext3 in my *.item file |

| 21:10.57 | Stskeeps | Jaffa: right now we have an odd situation in that modest depends on operator-wizard (closed), and osso-pdf-reader and other funny things require modest :) |

| 21:11.44 | qwerty12_N800 | Stskeeps, should be trivial removing that dependency |
| 21:11.58 | Stskeeps | qwerty12_N800: probably, but it's annoying still :) |
| 21:12.47 | Jaffa | Shows that "open" doesn't necessarily equate with useful. Why osso-pdf-reader? Shouldn't it just be firing an "open this document" DBUS message? |

| 22:23.53 | Stskeeps | woglinde: think a weekend sometime in early march |
| 22:24.16 | Stskeeps | radic: no, because i tried to explain to the taxi driver the hotel was supposed to have paid for the trip between the two hotels cos the hotel fucked up miserably.. |
| 22:24.22 | Stskeeps | and i didn't have a single euro on me.. |
| 22:24.57 | Stskeeps | which now means i always have currency on me when i'm abroad :P |

| 22:29.52 | radic | my N800 switched on auomaticly |
| 22:30.02 | Stskeeps | yeah, mine does that occasionally |
| 22:30.05 | Stskeeps | it spooks the hell out of me |
| 22:30.12 | radic | <-- confused |
| 22:30.48 | FireFox | Stskeeps: it is possessed |
| 22:31.23 | Stskeeps | FireFox: i wouldn't be surprised after all the curses i've shouted near it.. |
| 22:31.30 | jaska | the nokia security agency is using it to spy on you |
| 22:31.32 | FireFox | lol |
| 22:31.45 | Stskeeps | ah, -that's- what NSA stands for |
| 22:31.51 | jaska | yeah |
| 22:31.57 | Stskeeps | and their insistence of people using their phones.. |
| 22:32.02 | FireFox | hehe, lol XD |
| 22:32.28 | dob | so is there something wrong with my mer .item file? modules are mbcache, jbd, ext3 and fstype is ext3 |
| 22:32.40 | RST38h | Strange how nobody has menitioned mind control via GSM towers... |
| 22:32.49 | Stskeeps | dob: it shows the "Booting Mer"? |
| 22:32.54 | Stskeeps | RST38h: oh no, now you've started it |
| 22:32.55 | Stskeeps | :P |
| 22:34.13 | dob | Stskeeps: it hangs at "pivoting root and starting /sbin/init" for ~15 secs before rebooting |
| 22:34.21 | Stskeeps | dob: sec |
| 22:35.23 | Stskeeps | does it say setting time from retu..? |
| 22:35.59 | dob | Stskeeps: yes |
| 22:36.15 | Stskeeps | check you have gnutar on your maemo (tar --version) |
| 22:36.23 | Stskeeps | and that /sbin/init exists :P |
| 22:36.37 | FireFox | wonders if you could apply a hack to give our tablets ext4 support.. |

| 22:37.33 | Stskeeps | radic: no clue |
| 22:37.54 | radic | Stskeeps: It lets my N800 crashe |
| 22:37.58 | Stskeeps | looks like a mach-omap2 thing |
| 22:38.16 | AStorm | it's funny debug stuff |
| 22:38.37 | AStorm | you don't need it actually |

| 22:40.47 | AStorm | usb input is there I think |

| 22:42.58 | radic | but first I need a configuration that I can use the N800 again |
| 22:45.15 | radic | AStorm: can I include the source for rt73usb support into the maemo-kernel? |
| 22:45.55 | AStorm | if it works on arm, then yes |
| 22:46.00 | AStorm | otherwise, no :) |
| 22:46.12 | AStorm | not all of the drivers work on ARM... I think this one does |
| 22:46.26 | AStorm | you'll need a power source for n8x0 built-in hub |
| 22:46.27 | radic | rt73usb has full aircrack-ng support :) |
| 22:47.10 | AStorm | see, n8x0 provides low-power USB - 100 mA max current afaicr |
| 22:47.24 | AStorm | too little for wifi, definitely |
| 22:48.53 | radic | my hub needs 5V |

| 23:14.57 | VDVsx | dob, do you run refresh_bootmenu.d , after the merInstaller finish the installation ? |
| 23:15.03 | Stskeeps | VDVsx: checked that |
| 23:15.13 | Stskeeps | he gets into linuxrc just fine |
