| 02:29.54 | mortini | hm, i think i like firefox on maemo a bit more than opera |
| 02:30.12 | WormFood | my N800 has been working well for the last 2 1/2 years, but last time I go to use it, it has problems.....now every piece of nokia equipment I own has problems. I take my N85 back to them under warranty, and they refuse to fix it.....never again will I buy a nokia product. |
| 02:32.28 | WormFood | The only reason I bought my N800 was to use as a SIP phone....now I guess I'll just go buy a SIP phone, since the N800 quit working right. |
| 02:35.00 | crashanddie | WormFood: what problems do you appear to have with the n800? |
| 02:35.15 | WormFood | it acts like the power button is constantly pressed |
| 02:35.32 | WormFood | can't turn it on, or off, or unlock it....when I insert the battery, it just powers on |
| 02:35.53 | crashanddie | WormFood: that's usually an easy fix. You can use precision (flat) screwdrivers, and use one that is slightly bigger and file it off |
| 02:36.14 | crashanddie | keep filing until you have the right size for the star screws |
| 02:36.19 | WormFood | and I disconnected all the buttons from the motherboard, and it STILL acts that way, which leads me to believe it is something on the motherboard |
| 02:36.23 | crashanddie | there are repair manuals all over the internet |
| 02:36.35 | Termana | Can someone that has an n810 and an n900 tell me what the size difference is? |
| 02:36.38 | WormFood | I have the disassembly instructions, and the schematics |
| 02:36.48 | WormFood | is an electronics tech |
| 02:36.52 | crashanddie | Termana: about 3/4 inch |
| 02:37.04 | WormFood | crashanddie, file off what? what are you talking about? |
| 02:37.15 | Termana | crashanddie, so its around about the same size |
| 02:37.22 | crashanddie | Termana: no, smaller |
| 02:37.27 | WormFood | the power button isn't being pressed |
| 02:37.42 | crashanddie | WormFood: sorry, most people need instructions on how to unscrew the screws |
| 02:37.55 | WormFood | I have the T6 torx |
| 02:37.58 | crashanddie | k |
| 02:38.14 | WormFood | I have a whole set of those tiny torx and other weird bits |
| 02:38.24 | crashanddie | I'm sure you're proud |
| 02:38.37 | WormFood | it is just a kit of stuff I bought for working on crap like this |
| 02:38.43 | WormFood | nothing to be proud of :P |
| 02:38.54 | SpeedEvil | what do you mean by 'the button isn't being pressed' ? |
| 02:38.55 | crashanddie | So you disconnected everything, but it's still autobooting? |
| 02:38.56 | ssvb | WormFood: there is also 'force-power-key' R&D flag, it would be a good idea to check what R&D flags are set for your device |
| 02:39.14 | Termana | crashanddie, would it be fair to say with both of them closed, the n900 would fit about on top of the screen of an n810, a bit over? |
| 02:39.21 | WormFood | correct crashanddie, even with the buttons disconnected |
| 02:39.38 | SpeedEvil | ah |
| 02:39.40 | WormFood | SpeedEvil, the switches are disconnected....the power button isn't stuck or being pressed, but still powers on |
| 02:39.42 | crashanddie | Termana: don't have both right here to check, but that's how I remember it anyway |
| 02:40.15 | crashanddie | Termana: pretty sure it fits in height, maybe not width |
| 02:40.41 | WormFood | ssvb, I have not changed any R&D flags. I'm aware of them (but forgot about them 'till you mentioned it)....it was working, but yesterday when I go to use, it is dead...I recharge the battery, and now the power button does not work (can't even unlock the screen or power it off) |
| 02:41.04 | crashanddie | Termana: get out your pixel measuring tape: http://images.dailymobile.se/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/nokian900-vs-nokian810.jpg |
| 02:41.38 | WormFood | ssvb, would the force-power-key flag being set cause it to act the way I describe? (I sorta doubt it, but maybe) |
| 02:42.19 | crashanddie | WormFood: R&D flags can only be set by the flasher process as far as I can tell |
| 02:42.39 | crashanddie | (translation: they wouldn't change through normal operation of the device) |
| 02:42.46 | WormFood | I wonder if somehow the firmware was corrupted (I seriously doubt it) |
| 02:42.59 | ssvb | WormFood: can't say for all the symptoms, but it triggers turning on the device on inserting the battery for sure |
| 02:43.03 | crashanddie | doubt it too, however, when is the last time you flashed, and which repos are you running? |
| 02:43.08 | WormFood | that is what I was thinking too crashanddie |
| 02:43.24 | WormFood | I'm running os2008, and last time I flashed it was probably 1 1/2 years ago |
| 02:43.39 | WormFood | maybe a little longer. |
| 02:44.03 | WormFood | last time I flashed it was shortly after OS2008 was made available |
| 02:44.44 | crashanddie | well, you won't lose massive amounts of data, and I'm fairly sure that the latest OS2008 update is more recent than 1.5 years ago. http://tablets-dev.nokia.com/nokia_N800.php |

| 02:45.58 | LiraNuna | the channel isn't active at all |
| 02:46.03 | crashanddie | LiraNuna: he probably meant #maemo-devil |
| 02:46.50 | LiraNuna | Qt on N900 is a joke, all I am experiencing is problems and non-working modules |
| 02:47.18 | crashanddie | PyQt or PySide? |

| 02:48.27 | LiraNuna | trying to download a file using QNetworkAccessManager and the app just hangs there |
| 02:48.32 | WormFood | I can't find the last firmware I used. Probably got deleted or locked up on a dvd somewhere, but for sure I'm not running the latest |
| 02:50.33 | WormFood | I'm impressed...my download speed to China is pretty fast.....usually it is very slow (40 meg nvidia drivers were estimated to take 1 hour to download...I downloaded it to my server, then to my machine in 1 minute) |

| 03:59.02 | DocScrutinizer | WormFood: Vback, page2, directly under xtal and (5) |

| 04:14.42 | DocScrutinizer | Nokia part # |
| 04:14.51 | DocScrutinizer | :-/ |
| 04:15.08 | WormFood | that is what I figured....but I need the normal part number to find a replacement. |
| 04:15.21 | WormFood | I hate to bring my N800 with me, but it shouldn't be too hard to do |
| 04:15.52 | WormFood | I wonder why the schematics shows it as a single cell (looking like a cap), when it must be at least a double cell (because of the voltage) |
| 04:16.08 | DocScrutinizer | as usual, Nokia doesn't see any need for real partnames in their schematics >:-( it's named '2.8/3.3V' |
| 04:17.07 | DocScrutinizer | it's a LiIon cell, and that's a single cell special backup chemistry |
| 04:17.30 | DocScrutinizer | so -> 2.8/3.3V |
| 04:17.39 | DocScrutinizer | it's quite standard |
| 04:18.11 | WormFood | looks like 2.6/3.3 to me, but those schematics are not clear |
| 04:18.21 | DocScrutinizer | ok, 2.6 maybe |
| 04:18.32 | WormFood | I was thinking even the button cells (3v) are double cell |
| 04:18.39 | DocScrutinizer | that's such a blurry crap, my tired eyeballs fail to see |
| 04:18.55 | WormFood | yeah, it is tiring on my eyeballs too |
| 04:19.02 | WormFood | and page 5 really fucks with me. |
| 04:19.36 | WormFood | I'm 1/2 tempted to go to å强å today, and find it, but I need to pick up a laptop tomorrow to get a new motherboard for too |
| 04:19.37 | DocScrutinizer | yeah, that's real crap |
| 04:19.46 | WormFood | very frustrating |
| 04:20.24 | WormFood | I scanned in the schematics for one of my ham radios (very old, like late 1970s model), and I went out of my way to make sure I got the best scan I could, so I could share it with others |
| 04:20.29 | DocScrutinizer | just use a CR1505 or whatever, and solder a spring so you can clip it in |

| 04:21.03 | WormFood | I know, it looks like there is, but the case (which they don't show) does not have enough space in that area |

| 04:21.33 | DocScrutinizer | for OM GTA01 |
| 04:21.42 | DocScrutinizer | looks identical |
| 04:21.47 | WormFood | maybe it does have enough space...kinda hard to see |
| 04:21.57 | WormFood | ever heard of "hua qiang bei"? |
| 04:22.01 | WormFood | it is a location |
| 04:22.07 | DocScrutinizer | where? |
| 04:22.11 | WormFood | shenzhen, china |
| 04:22.21 | DocScrutinizer | never been in Shenzen |
| 04:22.35 | WormFood | I've been living here for almost 2 1/2 years....you'd love it |
| 04:22.39 | luke-jr | I can't imagine I would tolerate going to China for any reason |
| 04:22.50 | WormFood | that area is jam packed with computers and electronics |
| 04:22.59 | DocScrutinizer | been in Taipei. There's also a nice district for electronics |
| 04:23.38 | WormFood | the place I will go is 3 or 4 buildings, called å强çµåä¸ç (hua qiang electronics world)....they literally have everything |

| 04:24.50 | luke-jr | pendulums are cool |
| 04:24.52 | WormFood | now I need to learn the word in mandarin for "battery" |

| 04:25.43 | RST38h | Large, sharpened pendulums, yesss |
| 04:25.49 | WormFood | no luke-jr, that is not mandarin |
| 04:25.59 | luke-jr | WormFood: aww, you figured me out too easily! |
| 04:26.00 | WormFood | it should start with çµ |
| 04:26.11 | luke-jr | I admit, I made it up on the spot |
| 04:26.18 | WormFood | it looks like it |
| 04:26.27 | WormFood | if you said "dian____" I'd probably believe you |
| 04:26.28 | DocScrutinizer | WormFood: as otherwise I still would try to find the things I had to buy there, or find my way out of the district |
| 04:26.49 | WormFood | I usually don't have too much problem, even tho my mandarin skills are minimal |
| 04:27.04 | WormFood | I can ask for the price, and I understand numbers, and I can ask for a receipt |
| 04:27.40 | luke-jr | but do you understand TONAL numbers??? |
| 04:28.04 | RST38h | luke: The ones produced by a phone? =) |
| 04:28.06 | WormFood | I got a WRT54GS V1 router here, with 8m flash, and 32m ram....and the ram went bad....I was able to buy new RAM chips for 8 RMB (about $1.15 USD) each....then paid someone 20 RMB (about $3 USD) to replace them for me..... |
| 04:28.07 | luke-jr | ... no |
| 04:28.17 | WormFood | those are dual tonal number |
| 04:28.26 | WormFood | DTMF = Dual Tone Multi-Frequency ;) |
| 04:28.28 | luke-jr | you both fail |
| 04:28.38 | WormFood | luke-jr, what are you talking about |
| 04:28.39 | luke-jr | tonal as in the number ton |
| 04:28.57 | luke-jr | as oppposed to decimal |
| 04:29.02 | DocScrutinizer | no that's tonage |
| 04:29.04 | WormFood | DocScrutinizer, thanks a lot for your help finding that battery. I was looking for the wrong think...you have sharp, experienced eyes |

| 08:04.07 | D-Iivil_Work | Well, two guestions: why I can't see promote to extras link here: http://maemo.org/packages/package_instance/view/fremantle_extras-testing_free_armel/black-plastic-theme/2.000/ |
| 08:04.22 | D-Iivil_Work | Package has 25 + votes and the three days quarantee has passed a while ago. |
| 08:04.33 | nidO | quarantine is 10 days |
| 08:04.39 | nidO | unless that's been altered recently |
| 08:04.54 | D-Iivil_Work | And secondly, why is the package description being overwritten by devel-version of the package (???) |
| 08:05.07 | D-Iivil_Work | nidO, ok. That explains it. I recalled it was three days. |
| 08:06.19 | D-Iivil_Work | The description is overwritten also for the extras-version of the package (it shows the description of the devel-version when browsin maemo.org/downloads |
| 08:06.49 | nidO | probably a package interface bug, that one will have to be taken up with x-fade |
| 08:07.30 | nidO | have you checked whether the description's also wrong when you view the package in ham? |
| 08:07.48 | D-Iivil_Work | nidO, pretty annoying bug since the extras version shows now completely wrong information on the description and is confusing the users (I'm gettin email from users that are asking where the hell is the features that are mentioned in the description) :-D |

| 11:42.47 | mikki-kun | kwtm: hm, what kind of advice are you specifically looking for? |
| 11:43.08 | kwtm | If there is a package on "extras-devel" which is known to be safe (or which I trust), then do I understand correctly that I can enable extras-devel, install the package, and then disable extras-devel again? |

| 11:43.20 | *** join/#maemo arachnist (arachnist@paludis/monkey/arachnist) |
| 11:43.48 | kwtm | That is, the danger of extras-devel is that I try to do updates with that repository enabled, and Maemo thinks there are cool updates to my existing packages which are in fact not-quite-tested buggy replacements for the stable versions, correct? |
| 11:43.59 | kwtm | If I do not update while extras-devel is enabled, I stay safe? |
| 11:44.19 | kwtm | (I am asking because I really REALLY want to install mc 'midnight commander' while avoiding a crash) |
| 11:44.26 | mikki-kun | hm, though installing a package maybe relies on dependancies which are marked as instable and are therefore updated... |
| 11:44.28 | *** join/#maemo MacMiller (~marper@201.164.154.197) |
| 11:44.29 | MohammadAG | Install it, it's safe |
| 11:44.55 | kwtm | MohammadAG: Thanks for the vote of confidence. But... I can't find mc on extras-devel. Did it get promoted to extras-testing? |
| 11:45.05 | mikki-kun | but generally extras-devel is pretty "stable" |
| 11:45.07 | MohammadAG | http://maemo.org/packages/view/mc/ |
| 11:45.16 | kwtm | mikki-kun: Good point. I guess I should look at the dependencies... |
| 11:45.22 | MohammadAG | even if I promoted it, it'd stay in -devel |
| 11:45.37 | lcuk | kwtm, its in devel for a reason, if you think its safe after your testing then please contact the developer so it can be poshed further towards main extras |
| 11:45.43 | mikki-kun | i have it enabled per default so in case i see some really nasty bugs i can report that |
| 11:45.45 | lcuk | so others dont have to have this discussion |
| 11:46.06 | MohammadAG | lcuk, it's in devel cause I cba to push it into testing |
| 11:46.14 | MohammadAG | lame reason, I know, but the QA is a pita tbh |
| 11:46.25 | kwtm | lcuk: Well, I don't think I have enough to make any difference, but it sounds like from MohammadAG that some packages are quite stable but would stay in devel --is that what you meant, MohammadAG? |
| 11:46.38 | lcuk | MohammadAG, \@ |
| 11:46.47 | kwtm | Ah, I see. |
| 11:46.59 | lcuk | MohammadAG, push through the pain barrier and try |
| 11:47.12 | lcuk | will also try soon too :) |
| 11:47.27 | lcuk | tho i have NFI how to optify liqbase ;) |
| 11:47.51 | kwtm | Meanwhile, a more newbie-ish question --having enabled extras-devel (by accident, actually), I see lots of juicy apps listed in App Manager --but can I read more details in a web page, the way I can see the extras apps in "http://maemo.org/downloads/Maemo5/"? |
| 11:47.56 | lcuk | smiles cos liqbase should run happily on n810 |
| 11:48.02 | MohammadAG | lcuk, no f'ing idea? :P |
| 11:48.12 | kwtm | For example, MohammadAG you just gave me the web page for mc --how did you find it? How can I find the web page for the other apps? |
| 11:48.21 | MohammadAG | lcuk, call maemo-optify in debian/rules |
| 11:48.25 | lcuk | kwtm, http://maemo.org/packages/ |
| 11:48.40 | MohammadAG | http://maemo.org/packages/view/$packagename |
| 11:48.51 | lcuk | MohammadAG, no its actually something maemo-optify-boottime could deal with but im just adding the one folder to /opt :) |
| 11:48.58 | lcuk | /usr/share/liqbase will go into opt |
| 11:49.08 | lcuk | and everything under liqbase should then be nicely optified |
| 11:49.19 | lcuk | does have a plan for it |
| 11:49.20 | MohammadAG | maemo-optify would've been easier |
| 11:49.22 | MohammadAG | :p |
| 11:49.25 | lcuk | not really |
| 11:49.27 | kwtm | lcuk: Thank you. Will be useful. |
| 11:49.28 | lcuk | because thats app level |
| 11:49.31 | lcuk | and i have many apps |
| 11:49.35 | lcuk | and its just a brainfart |
| 11:49.35 | MohammadAG | oh, right |
| 11:49.37 | MohammadAG | I forgot |
| 11:49.45 | MohammadAG | nods |
| 11:49.48 | kwtm | One other app I'd like your opinion on whether it's stable, and I |
| 11:49.54 | lcuk | do it once, and its solved |
| 11:49.59 | D-Iivil_Work | PIZZA TIME! |
| 11:50.04 | kwtm | One other app I'd like your opinion on whether it's stable, and I'll be happy: is PyQt for Maemo ok to install? |
| 11:50.23 | lcuk | kwtm, people do not usually install pyqt on its own :p |
| 11:50.42 | lcuk | but theres many apps using it |
| 11:50.50 | lcuk | healthcheck is one such app |
| 11:51.06 | lcuk | which also serves as a nice python/qt example of how to read system information |
| 11:51.18 | kwtm | lcuk: Well, I'm hoping to write some quick & dirty apps with it just for myself. Is that the wrong package? |
| 11:51.27 | MohammadAG | healthcheck has more comments than the IRC log for yesterday |
| 11:51.28 | MohammadAG | :P |
| 11:51.35 | lcuk | lol |
| 11:51.41 | kwtm | I learned Python but not PyGTK --I'd rather invest my time in learning Qt if I can. |
| 11:51.58 | lcuk | kwtm, sure have a play if you feel comfy there |
| 11:52.12 | lcuk | nothing blocking you byeond the usual "im a developer let me at -devel stuff" |
| 11:52.30 | lcuk | so fight the grue, file bugs and patches if things are noticed and have fun |
| 11:53.03 | kwtm | MohammadAG: Thank you for maintaining MC for Maemo. It still doesn't show up on App Manager or "View All Packages" (ie. http://maemo.org/packages/repository/list/fremantle_extras-devel_free_armel/). Can I download the package directly from the mc web page you gave? |
| 11:53.20 | kwtm | Can I do something like "sudo dpkg -i mc-armel-whateverfilename"? |
| 11:53.24 | MohammadAG | yes, but you'll need to sort out deps on your own |
| 11:53.34 | MohammadAG | sudo apt-get install mc <-- much easier |
| 11:53.35 | Jaffa | Morning, all |
| 11:53.41 | MohammadAG | morning Jaffa |
| 11:53.41 | Jaffa | thp: Ah, yes - that happened before |
| 11:54.15 | kwtm | MohammadAG: apt-get install will sort out deps? How come it's not in the repository any more? I read some forum comments and some people were saying that mc was there but no longer? Anyway, will try now on my n900 |
| 11:54.29 | Jaffa | thp: Fixed |
| 11:54.41 | MohammadAG | it is there, I'm sure of that |

| 12:12.12 | kwtm | Anyway, D-Iivil_Work: I *am* putting this in a script, so your info is useful. (I've decided to put everything in a script so I can easily reproduce the work when my n900 crashes again.) |
| 12:12.36 | norayr | so, installation described by reflashing the device. |
| 12:12.40 | D-Iivil_Work | kwtm, thank MohammadAG since he just guided me how to do the sudoers stuff. I |
| 12:12.55 | norayr | i have problem with it as I use copied maemo on another partiotion |
| 12:13.06 | norayr | and never use the one which is on JFFS |
| 12:13.09 | norayr | and so |
| 12:13.26 | norayr | so i wonder |
| 12:13.30 | norayr | anyone heard of an option |
| 12:13.33 | kwtm | Thanks, MohammadAG. And now a sort of dumb question. For some reason it's not taking the root password that I put in when I installed OpenSSH Client+Server. Can I reset the password by uninstalling, then reinstalling OpenSSH Client+Server? |

| 12:14.41 | norayr | i mean without reflashing. is it possible to recompile kernel myself? or just get kernel headers and compile the module against them? |
| 12:14.47 | kwtm | MohammadAG: Was just about to ask if rootsh was a better option. Ok, will do so now. |
| 12:16.31 | kwtm | spent the last 5 minutes scrolling through the apps list to get to R (for "rootsh") and has a sore thumb. |
| 12:16.56 | zash | kwtm: did you try pressing the R key? |
| 12:17.02 | D-Iivil_Work | kwtm, why don't you just start typing the name of the app... |
| 12:17.18 | D-Iivil_Work | zash beat me to it :P |
| 12:17.40 | kwtm | Hmm, strange, the installation process of "rootsh" did not involve me setting the root password ... wonder how I'll gain root. Anyway, will uninstall OpenSSH and then reinstall. (That's the same as purge and reinstall, right?) |
| 12:18.00 | kwtm | What, typing the name of the app will seek to the app? I tried that already. I wish that feature were in place. |
| 12:18.05 | D-Iivil_Work | kwtm, you'll get root priviledges by typing this into xterm after installing rootsh: sudo gainroot |
| 12:18.26 | D-Iivil_Work | kwtm, after that you're root and everything you launch from that terminal session are ran as root |
| 12:18.44 | kwtm | Oh, wow! I'm root. That makes it easy. |

| 12:19.37 | D-Iivil_Work | kwtm, you realize you need to be root before running mc or you won't be able to browse through "root" folders ;) |
| 12:20.27 | kwtm | D-Iivil_Work: Do I have to be root before running mc to browse through user's directories? ("directories"! Not "folders" --that's for MS Windows GUI people) |
| 12:21.08 | ham5 | its a single user os |
| 12:21.09 | kwtm | I mainly want mc so I can send files over Fish/SSh without having to type the exactly correct pathname --ie. use mc to browse. I hope that feature is included. |

| 12:21.22 | D-Iivil_Work | kwtm, noup. |

| 12:21.42 | kwtm | D-Iivil_Work: Ohh.... I have to be root just to run mc at all? |
| 12:21.50 | D-Iivil_Work | kwtm, no you don't have to. |
| 12:21.55 | norayr | ppl, sorry for asking again: anyone heard where to get sources of kernel rotation support module for OS2008 |

| 12:25.33 | MohammadAG | I'd rather use terminal |
| 12:26.20 | kwtm | Oh!!! THe touchscreen works! I thought this was like the console variety which ignores my mouse. |
| 12:26.56 | kwtm | Okay, I was able to figure out that Esc-9 is the same as F9. This will let me take away the top menu bar and bottom key bar and get more screen real estate for the actual mc panels. |

| 12:49.47 | MohammadAG | lcuk, hasn't the version always been like that? |
| 12:49.59 | X-Fade | D-Iivil_Work: It asumes newest version is best. |
| 12:50.26 | D-Iivil_Work | X-Fade, I mean, if you look here: http://maemo.org/downloads/product/Maemo5/black-plastic-theme/ that description is not from the extras-version. It's taken from devel version which has a lot more functionality than extras-version and ofcource I have written those features in the description field.. |
| 12:50.41 | MohammadAG | D-Iivil_Work, the one in HAM should be fine |
| 12:50.47 | X-Fade | D-Iivil_Work: Yes, it takes everything from the most recent version. |
| 12:51.08 | D-Iivil_Work | X-Fade, what's the point of that? That makes sense inside one repo, but when spread to all repos and not following the versions that's very confusing. |

| 15:03.42 | kerio | stop mce |
| 15:03.43 | rcg | my problem is that e.g. when using zeecontrol, the xtest events used by zeecontrol are not taken as user input .. hence the system will "shutdown" after the selected time period |
| 15:04.18 | FIQ | oh, it has been there since my first grep (that was 7mins ago) on battery info |
| 15:04.30 | FIQ | but maybe i should just wait a bit more |
| 15:04.33 | DocScrutinizer | rcg: so it's probably a *much* better idea to generate events, rather than to filter/block one event |
| 15:04.52 | rcg | i can programmatically keep the display on .. so the problem remains that drnoksnes pauses the game on receiving the inactivity signal and the events caused by zeecontrol seem no to influence the inactivity counter |
| 15:05.30 | rcg | DocScrutinizer: yeah, i am looking for some event that basically "resets" the inactivity timer |
| 15:06.16 | pupnik_ | http://betalabs.nokia.com/apps/nokia-magnifier not a bad app idea for N900 |
| 15:06.28 | DocScrutinizer | rcg: try e.g. http://wiki.maemo.org/User:Jebba/DBUS#dbus-send-unlock |
| 15:07.48 | tybollt | oh blimey |
| 15:07.50 | DocScrutinizer | rcg: I'm not sure it resets the inactivity timer you got the problem with. But basically the bug is somewhere in your existing code, which fails to generate the correct events, rather than to reset a timer the brute force way |

| 15:10.45 | nidO | the only "random reboot" i've has was a few weeks ago when the phone decided to spontaneously drain battery charge at like 20x it's normal idle rate overnight and flatten in like 3 hours then shut down :< |
| 15:10.45 | DocScrutinizer | probably means some software intentionally rebooted the device |
| 15:11.07 | tybollt | hmm |
| 15:11.09 | jacekowski | nidO: i had same thing today |
| 15:11.32 | nidO | I had installed arapp the same day which I initially pegged as the possible cause, but I havent had it happen since despite reinstalling the software |
| 15:11.48 | tybollt | coulda been omweather I suppose - seeing as I never comply w/ its "you have to prommise to reboot" - no SRSLY we mean it, reboot! "Hey, you didn't reboot yet" |
| 15:12.18 | DocScrutinizer | might have been dsme on detecting a 'hanging' process. The hanging process might have been caused by swapping, or high cpu load, or whatever |

| 15:35.56 | GAN900 | E0x / kerio, anything higher than 600 is extremely likely to severely reduce the life expectancy of your device. As 600MHz already has certain risks there, it's considered ideal. :) |

| 15:37.28 | DocScrutinizer | as in "expected lifetime with 500MHz max = >20 years. With 600MHz = 5 yeras. with 700MHz = 1 year" something along that idea |

| 16:06.34 | canc | so, you agree, it's the battery that's flat ? |
| 16:06.52 | DocScrutinizer | yes |
| 16:07.17 | MiXu- | Not necessarily anything wrong with it. Just let it charge for good 30 minutes and see what happens. Don't try to start it during that time. |

| 16:09.30 | DocScrutinizer | yes, you should avoid to discharge it completely |

| 16:09.58 | canc | ok, note for the future me |

| 16:10.50 | *** part/#maemo OptX (~do@mnhm-5f750638.pool.mediaWays.net) |
| 16:11.13 | DocScrutinizer | so general advice: if system shuts down, do NOT try to reboot it. Hook it to wallcharger instead and wait until it's considerably charged |
| 16:11.19 | canc | rebooting to much is bad ? |
| 16:11.23 | canc | ok |
| 16:11.45 | MiXu- | No problem in rebooting, but if the battery gets too empty, it's a pain to get back up, as you now see. :) |
| 16:12.14 | chem|st | canc: your device may shutdown but don't try to start it several times without recharging the bat first, keeps you out of trouble as it will never run out dead then (keep in mind that the battery will die if you keep it uncharged for a descent period) |
| 16:12.44 | DocScrutinizer | canc: rebooting can not check for flat battery in the first millisecond. It will inevitably drain your cell further until it decides the cell is too weak already, and shuts down again |
| 16:13.00 | DocScrutinizer | so yes, several reboots are bad, if your battery is flat |

| 16:38.08 | kerio | do you think a bug in the "Nokia Nseries" theme's wallpapers will be accepted? |

| 16:44.12 | DocScrutinizer | hmm, not sure |
| 16:44.32 | ShadowJK | lcuk: it's a user convenience vs battery longevity issue. We can instruct the charger to maintain full charge after reaching full, but this can potentially reduce the longevity of the battery, or, we can monitor battery after fullcharge, and instruct charger to begin chargong at 90-95% or something. |
| 16:44.49 | DocScrutinizer | I think I've seen it increasing on GTA02 battery, for some 100mAh after it switched to 100% |
| 16:45.11 | lcuk | ShadowJK, how does bme do it currently |
| 16:45.11 | SpeedEvil | I mean - you'd really want - once it measures 'full' - to keep the charge at this level. |
| 16:45.31 | DocScrutinizer | ShadowJK: we won't 'instruct' - bq24150 does that in hardware |

| 16:45.50 | DocScrutinizer | SpeedEvil: tbh I don't |

| 16:51.44 | lcuk | DocScrutinizer51, if nokia had some engineering class apprentices in who needed to learn could produce such a document from the existing code and use it as part of their tuition ;) |

| 17:48.47 | jacekowski | i was thinking about SIGSTOPping runaway processes |
| 17:49.03 | DocScrutinizer | suffices to reboot via dsme usually |
| 17:49.10 | DocScrutinizer | afaik |
| 17:49.47 | jacekowski | well process would still be in process list |
| 17:49.50 | jacekowski | just descheduled |
| 17:49.57 | DocScrutinizer | so probably dsme isn't just watching if a process terminated, but also might check if it's running correctly |
| 17:50.16 | jacekowski | and SIGCONT would restart it |
| 17:50.43 | Mece | luke-jr, I guess I just don't know about the devices :) |
| 17:50.48 | DocScrutinizer | yes, I can do this with bme for example. But after 60s system reboots when bme is sigstopped |
| 17:51.13 | DocScrutinizer | jacekowski: then otoh bme links to some dsmelib |
| 17:51.41 | DocScrutinizer | so maybe it has dedicated 'watchdog' functions in dsme that are used by bme |

| 18:09.15 | jacekowski | but i'm sort of surprised by gcc just using add instead of mov |
| 18:09.36 | jacekowski | esspecialy considering that mov is faster |
| 18:09.47 | lcuk | perhaps the opcode in question can only take one 16bit constant |
| 18:09.59 | jacekowski | all ARM opcodes are 32bit |
| 18:10.10 | jacekowski | and it can take 0x0500 |
| 18:10.23 | lcuk | all arm ops all the time are 32b? |
| 18:10.27 | jacekowski | yes |
| 18:10.41 | lcuk | and does a 32bit open code imply that you can use more than 16b of it for constants? |

| 18:11.23 | lcuk | how much space can be set aside for coonstants ? |
| 18:11.35 | RST38h | lcuk: 8 bits, shifted by any amount |
| 18:11.38 | jacekowski | depends on particular instruction |
| 18:11.41 | RST38h | lcuk: Hence are two instructions |
| 18:11.52 | RST38h | lcuk: to load a single constant that does not fit 8bit shifted |
| 18:12.25 | lcuk | RST38h, ok, so - the arm 32bit opcodes can fit an 8bit constant |
| 18:12.32 | lcuk | which cant be shifted to wherever |
| 18:12.36 | lcuk | but basically |
| 18:12.38 | RST38h | lcuk: correct |
| 18:12.50 | RST38h | well it can be shifted |
| 18:12.56 | RST38h | but it is still going to be 8 bits |

| 20:44.59 | kerio | oh right |
| 20:45.13 | Robot101 | Google and MfE's implementations are pretty untested against each other and compatibility is quite marginal/unreliable |
| 20:45.20 | kerio | you need a syncml-through-http client though |

| 21:01.17 | Robot101 | it's a truth, yes, they could've done better. but they didn't and they're not going to because they're making products to sell to more people than they marketed the N900 to. if you notice, it didn't have a lot of marketing budget and launch momentum behind it. |

| 21:33.49 | mneptok | OK, so i have MfE syncing my calendar, SyncEvo doing contacts, and the plain-Jane IMAP client handling e-mail tasks. it's like growing an extra hand for each key on the keyboard. ;) |
| 21:34.23 | lardman | ok, so I want external plugins to provide some match and don't match strings/regex - should I combine them (presuming that's possible with regex)? |
| 21:36.08 | lardman | ok, so I can do alternatives I now learn with a bar, presumably I can also say whether matches should be case sensitive, etc |
| 21:36.39 | lcuk | lardman, performing 10 regexes once you have identified a code is simple? |
| 21:36.46 | lcuk | you do not have to merge them immediately? |
| 21:36.55 | lardman | well I was thinking just one, if everything could be passed in one |

| 21:37.17 | lcuk | these barcodes are short strings arent they anyway |
| 21:37.27 | lardman | yeah, the problem is how to order the plugin file to pass them in, and added code complexity in evaluating them all |
| 21:37.29 | lcuk | its not like you have to process a bible worth of text every time it beeps |
| 21:37.41 | lardman | can be quite long, e.g. vCard, sms:, etc |
| 21:37.56 | lardman | no of course not |
| 21:38.06 | lcuk | heh |
| 21:38.32 | lardman | but this is for external app registration files, they say their name, what type of barcodes they want (e.g. QR codes) and give a regex to eliminate/keep in whatever payloads they wish to receive |
| 21:38.36 | lcuk | do you anticipate multiple plugins to detect same code |
| 21:38.48 | lardman | e.g. maemo-mapper will only want things containing geo: |
| 21:38.52 | lardman | yes |
| 21:39.01 | lcuk | scanning a book could go into your library, but it could also be wanted to go into your google search |
| 21:39.02 | lardman | well not detect, but multiple will want to handle same code |
| 21:39.08 | lardman | indeed |
| 21:39.38 | lardman | I also don;t want to have to start up external apps for no reason - i.e. if they don't care about a youtube:// payload |
| 21:40.01 | lardman | or rather s/i.e./e.g. |
| 21:40.03 | lcuk | why dont you start simply |
| 21:40.12 | lcuk | with a group of common ones opening apps on your machine |
| 21:40.14 | lardman | no point, may as well do the hard work now |
| 21:40.14 | lcuk | that you know |
| 21:40.21 | lcuk | to see how the operation will feel |
| 21:40.26 | lcuk | i know |
| 21:40.54 | lcuk | but this is just a quick test of whether you want multiple listeners and how you may want to handle the ux for it? |
| 21:40.58 | lardman | because I won't be writing the registration files, the authors of these external apps will be, so I want to make sure it's all nice and efficient and they only get called when necessary |
| 21:41.12 | lcuk | sure |
| 21:41.13 | lardman | no, this is the end implementation |
| 21:41.32 | lcuk | nods |
| 21:43.20 | lardman | anyway looks like with a bit of up-front effort on the part of the registration file writer, a single regex can be used to match anything |

| 22:59.43 | Stskeeps | DrGrov: 1) and 2) is coming, if we are noting meego (real meego), but 3) remains to be seen |
| 22:59.53 | lardman | GAN900: any clues on shooting in Vegas? |
| 23:00.07 | lardman | other than down the range ;) |
| 23:00.14 | DrGrov | Stskeeps: you have any ideas what 3) could be? |
| 23:00.26 | Stskeeps | DrGrov: 3) being the third question |
| 23:00.38 | Stskeeps | there's no applications we'd want yet from maemo6 as we haven't seen it. |
| 23:01.07 | DrGrov | Stskeeps: completely agree with you on that one. difficult to say anything when nothing is visible. |
| 23:04.11 | DrGrov | Stskeeps: I was mainly worried for the N900 to be forgotten once Nokia considers MeeGo their primary market |

| 23:33.58 | MohammadAG | I use apt |

| 23:44.34 | lcuk | did someone tell me that the apple one wont work on my n900 or was i mishearing |
| 23:44.45 | timeless_mbp | so um |
| 23:44.56 | GAN900 | lcuk, it's just HID |
| 23:44.59 | timeless_mbp | anyone here understand how apt-* -c foo -c bar works? |
| 23:45.00 | MohammadAG | if it uses HID... nvm |
| 23:45.04 | timeless_mbp | is it cumulative? |
| 23:45.16 | GAN900 | I think the thing is Maemo 5 doesn't have good support OOB |
| 23:45.34 | lcuk | GAN900, MohammadAG ok ill get some batteries and test tomorrow |
| 23:45.40 | lcuk | timeless_mbp, not tried - what is -c |
| 23:45.49 | timeless_mbp | conf file |
| 23:46.19 | lcuk | is it normally needed? |
| 23:46.41 | MohammadAG | no |
| 23:46.45 | raster | meep |
| 23:46.50 | MohammadAG | see man apt-config(8) |
| 23:46.55 | MohammadAG | I think it's man8 lol |
| 23:47.01 | lcuk | heya raster \o |
| 23:47.04 | MohammadAG | 5* |
| 23:47.08 | raster | luke-jr: yay! |
| 23:47.40 | lcuk | MohammadAG, i wasnt asking so i could go rtfm right now, i was asking timeless why its coming up now |
| 23:47.59 | MohammadAG | :P |
| 23:48.09 | timeless_mbp | lcuk: i'm hosting apt on centos to index fremantle1.2 |
| 23:48.10 | raster | why does libspleen have to be so slow |
| 23:48.15 | raster | bah's |
| 23:48.16 | timeless_mbp | my previous indexer ran on nexenta |
| 23:48.21 | *** join/#maemo SpeedEvil (~user@tor/regular/SpeedEvil) |
| 23:48.23 | timeless_mbp | but my nexenta box is facing retirement |
| 23:48.26 | lcuk | rog |
| 23:48.40 | timeless_mbp | to do this, i needed to magically host apt-* |
| 23:48.43 | lcuk | and what would the conf file do |
| 23:48.47 | lcuk | ok |
| 23:48.58 | timeless_mbp | i do this by using /data/apt-etch/<> as a root directory for apt |
| 23:49.08 | timeless_mbp | i.e. it has usr/bin, etc, usr/lib, ... |
| 23:49.21 | lcuk | and your new host does not have access? :D |
| 23:49.28 | timeless_mbp | access? |
| 23:49.31 | timeless_mbp | no, i'm not root |
| 23:49.34 | timeless_mbp | i'm very very very rarely root |
| 23:49.41 | lcuk | nods |
| 23:49.42 | timeless_mbp | the nexenta box was a solaris zone :) |
| 23:49.47 | timeless_mbp | and it too used -c |
| 23:49.51 | timeless_mbp | but it didn't need two layers |
| 23:49.57 | timeless_mbp | because nexenta is an apt based system |
| 23:50.17 | timeless_mbp | i don't really absolutely need two layers of -c |
| 23:50.18 | lcuk | perhaps then its time to dig into man page MohammadAG discovered |
| 23:50.20 | timeless_mbp | but it makes things cleaner |
| 23:50.35 | timeless_mbp | the help there isn't very helpful |
| 23:50.39 | lcuk | never is |
| 23:50.40 | MohammadAG | apt.conf(5), I didn't discover it :p |
| 23:50.43 | timeless_mbp | it says that it reads something and then the specified one |
| 23:50.47 | timeless_mbp | and fwiw, i've read those pages |
| 23:50.55 | timeless_mbp | i read them 3-4 years ago when i first set this stuff up |
| 23:50.56 | MohammadAG | lcuk, hasn't :) |
| 23:51.01 | lcuk | ;) |
| 23:51.02 | timeless_mbp | which is why i knew -c existed in the first place :) |
| 23:51.24 | lcuk | ive been reading a book on my 900 tyvm MohammadAG |
| 23:51.37 | timeless_mbp | installed 'dorian' |
| 23:51.39 | MohammadAG | lcuk, I never realized man pages were made into books :P |
| 23:51.40 | timeless_mbp | couldn't find any ebooks |
