| 02:33.15 | DocScrutinizer | the pressure might be high at nighttime, and rather low when every neighbour waters their lawn. But usually it doesn't become negative (as pressure of a battery never does) |
| 02:34.28 | DocScrutinizer | still you might decide to pump water *into* your tap, by using a pump that has higher pressure than that found inside the pipe |
| 02:35.00 | DocScrutinizer | (beware, your neighbours probably will call homeland security!) |
| 02:39.40 | DocScrutinizer | tough, if you got a wate tank on top of your roof, you for sure will pump water up (charge), and also water will come down again and flow out your tap (discharge). The pressure is the voltage, the liters/min is the current (Ampere) |

| 02:40.52 | TiagoTiago | sorry, the system locked up, lemme check the log to catch up |
| 02:42.19 | DocScrutinizer | meh, too bad. Was about to elaborate about Spain where everybody got such a watertank on their roof, as central water supply is shaky. And "not enough power to charge" means the water flowing into N900 via USB is not as much as that you draw from the tap in the AV-receptacke... errr |
| 02:43.33 | DocScrutinizer | s/draw/draft/? |
| 02:43.59 | TiagoTiago | So the voltage is the voltage of one thing, while the current is the current of somthing else? |
| 02:44.12 | DocScrutinizer | basically yes |
| 02:44.51 | TiagoTiago | Why do they do it like that? |
| 02:45.10 | DocScrutinizer | because there's no other meaningful way to do it |
| 02:45.26 | villager | TiagoTiago: it's not physically possible to measure voltage and current on exactly the same thing... as said, voltage and current is different |
| 02:46.04 | TiagoTiago | So it's like they put a pressure gage on the pipe but use a waterwheel under the faucet to measure current flow? |
| 02:46.22 | villager | voltage is always between two points. current is not, it can be measured in a single point |
| 02:46.35 | DocScrutinizer | TiagoTiago: I STRICTLY DISCOURRAGE to try and probe the Ampere found in a wall mains outlet. You can probe the Volt though |

| 02:48.00 | TiagoTiago | It's like measuring windspeed instead of the motion of the air atoms and molecules? |
| 02:48.36 | DocScrutinizer | checking Ampere of a mains outlet is like bucket-measuring how many liters of water are in your waterpipe |
| 02:49.23 | DocScrutinizer | depending on diameter of pipe this will become a rather unpleasant experience |
| 02:50.06 | villager | fzzt! |
| 02:50.29 | DocScrutinizer | like villager said. Current is the number of electrons passing by at ONE point / second. While Voltage is the difference of electron pressure between TWO points |
| 02:50.47 | TiagoTiago | Usually you would measure how much current is flowing without makeing the current flow, like placing a waterwheel in a river instead of blasting open a riverbank |
| 02:50.49 | villager | the ideal amperemeter is basically a shortcircuit, so a real bad idea to try on your power outlet |
| 02:51.00 | timeless_w7ip | doc: you probably wnted 'drew' (also available in other cases is 'drawn') |
| 02:51.40 | TiagoTiago | I thought you could measure Amps with some circuit sitting between the source and the device consuming the electricity.... |
| 02:52.09 | DocScrutinizer | yes, you can |
| 02:52.28 | villager | TiagoTiago: yes, and ideally that device has no resistance (which is why I said shortcircuit) |
| 02:52.36 | timeless_w7ip | s/wnted/wanted/ |
| 02:52.45 | TiagoTiago | and that is the same way you could measure the Volts "entering" the device's circuit |
| 02:52.56 | DocScrutinizer | but that's because of the way this equipment works. You also can test the magnetic field around one point of a wire, and that'S a very convenient way to probe current |
| 02:53.17 | villager | TiagoTiago: the ideal voltmeter has infinite resistance, *no* current passes through it |
| 02:53.43 | DocScrutinizer | like no water flows out a PSI meter |
| 02:53.45 | TiagoTiago | but if you already got your voltmeter there why not use the same input and output for measuring current flow? |
| 02:54.20 | villager | you cannot mix the two without disrupting the circuit |
| 02:54.56 | TiagoTiago | even if the two are in parallel or being switched from one to the other and back very fast? |
| 02:55.03 | DocScrutinizer | you can't plumb a water volume meter to the PSI-meter stub |
| 02:56.06 | villager | and it would not be useful in any case, the current flowing through your voltmeter is not the current you want to measure, which is probably the current through the *rest* of the circuit |
| 02:56.25 | DocScrutinizer | exactly |
| 02:57.21 | DocScrutinizer | and you wouldn't want to cut the current to the rest of the circuit by inserting a virtually infinite resistance voltmeter at the point where your Amperemeter was |
| 02:57.59 | TiagoTiago | Like my example with the pressure gage on the pipe, the pressure gage is a circuit with infinite (or really big) resistance between the pipe and the ground, then you add a little turbine thingy in the pipe between the faucet to measure current flow, why can't somthing like that be done with the electricity comming fromthe battery? |
| 02:58.45 | DocScrutinizer | it is done like that, nevertheless logically the two things are unrelated |
| 02:59.35 | DocScrutinizer | and disjunkt |
| 03:03.17 | TiagoTiago | If the faucet lead to a sealed room, if the room was pressurized to the point of having more pressure than the pipes, both the current and the pressure measured values on the pipe would be negative. |
| 03:03.26 | villager | TiagoTiago: so you have a pressure gauge to measure pressure and turbine in tap to measure flow, that's different things, what makes that different from how it's done for battery, where volt and amps is also different? |
| 03:04.15 | TiagoTiago | No, 'cause the values of the two always share the same sign |
| 03:04.43 | villager | TiagoTiago: no, in the case of the pressurized room, the water pressure would be positive, and the flow would be negative |
| 03:04.57 | TiagoTiago | But with the battery no the N900, in the loop mode of that bq script, volts and amps don't always share the same sign |
| 03:05.33 | TiagoTiago | The pressure gage is measuring the pressure difference between inside the pipe and the rest of the room |
| 03:05.49 | TiagoTiago | (forget what i said about ground) |
| 03:06.09 | villager | uh huh, but that's not what the battery gauge measures |

| 03:08.26 | villager | the battery voltage measurement is more useful the way it is now, because it says how much power is left *inside* the battery, which is quite useful to know |
| 03:08.55 | villager | besides it's not clear what else you'd want to measure |
| 03:09.01 | TiagoTiago | There is no measure of the voltage difference between the battery and the device? |
| 03:09.04 | DocScrutinizer | we're not interested in the voltage drop along the copper trace from battery to device |
| 03:09.12 | DocScrutinizer | (well, not really) |
| 03:09.36 | DocScrutinizer | it's supposed to be ~0 |
| 03:10.14 | TiagoTiago | I just found it confusing that it reports volts and amps but not of the same thing, i was expecting it to provide values that could be used to calculate how many watts the device is sucking |
| 03:10.38 | villager | you can |
| 03:10.39 | DocScrutinizer | SIGHS |
| 03:10.46 | TiagoTiago | You can't calculate watts without knowing both the amps and the volts |
| 03:11.29 | DocScrutinizer | going tru / and found across the device. You're not interested in the watts the copper trace is dissipating |
| 03:11.30 | villager | you have both amps and volts... if you get negative watts, that means the device is charging the battery instead of draining it |
| 03:11.37 | TiagoTiago | If they are from different things then it's like trying to calculate someone's bodymass index by using their height but their dog's weight |
| 03:12.10 | DocScrutinizer | BS |
| 03:12.32 | DocScrutinizer | it's ONE thing: your device |
| 03:12.46 | DocScrutinizer | it got a plus- and a minus-pole |
| 03:12.49 | TiagoTiago | Current can't flow against the voltage |
| 03:13.18 | DocScrutinizer | voltage is between plus and minus, while current is either going into plus or coming out of minus |
| 03:13.28 | villager | as said, if you're charging, the charger has a higher voltage than the battery, so current will flow into the battery |
| 03:13.41 | TiagoTiago | unless your're measuring the voltage of somthing else instead of the circuit you're measuring the amperage |
| 03:14.05 | villager | but the charger voltage is not measured here |
| 03:14.18 | villager | just the battery voltage |
| 03:14.22 | TiagoTiago | how can it be going to + without coming from - ? |
| 03:14.34 | DocScrutinizer | I give up |
| 03:15.29 | TiagoTiago | I'm sorry, this thing with measuring things a different way but still saying it as if it was the same is confusing me |
| 03:17.02 | villager | current can come from anywhere it is forced into the circuit, like from the power grid... doesn't have to come from the battery you're charging. |
| 03:17.14 | timeless_w7ip | tiago:: let's look at something else |
| 03:17.20 | timeless_w7ip | consider temperature |
| 03:17.32 | timeless_w7ip | let's have 3 rooms A .. B .. C |
| 03:17.48 | timeless_w7ip | If I make the temperature in room C 50degrees |
| 03:17.59 | timeless_w7ip | and the temperature in the next room (B) 30degrees |
| 03:18.23 | timeless_w7ip | then at some point there's going to be a transfer of heat from C to B |
| 03:18.37 | timeless_w7ip | it's going from a place with +++++ to a place with +++ |
| 03:18.48 | timeless_w7ip | I could make A have a temperature of -10degrees |
| 03:19.16 | timeless_w7ip | but it's still possible for things to go from +++++ to +++ instead of having to go to a place with - |
| 03:19.30 | timeless_w7ip | does that make any sense? :) |
| 03:20.52 | timeless_w7ip | btw, the use of + and - in electricity was actually arbitrary, it's now consistently used with + and - in a certain way |
| 03:20.58 | timeless_w7ip | but it could have been the other way |

| 03:22.59 | DocScrutinizer | TiagoTiago: I told you you can not measure device Watts by bq27200. It's a dedicated battery monitor hardware. It *only* shows _battery_ voltage (between + and - of battery) and battery current in/out. Device with all the consumers and charger is on the other end |
| 03:24.32 | DocScrutinizer | the charger also can power the device consumers directly, then this part of current will not be seen by bq27200 |
| 03:24.34 | TiagoTiago | So there is no direct way to measure watts consumption, we can onlyestimate it by watching the effects of that consumption? |
| 03:25.22 | villager | yes... if you remove the charger, then the two must be equal |
| 03:25.38 | DocScrutinizer | as told way above, you can plug and unplug charger. The difference in battery current is what the device actually consumes |
| 03:26.12 | DocScrutinizer | err, is what the charger supplies |

| 03:34.48 | TiagoTiago | Not for me, current can't flow against the pressure difference |

| 03:36.38 | DocScrutinizer | we actually always explained those two physical values are largely unrelated |
| 03:36.45 | villager | how many times do we have to tell you? the charger puts on a BIGGER pressure than the battery, therefore current flows "backwards" into the battery |

| 12:52.36 | pupnik | 10 years ago i could have helped with the sql |
| 12:53.26 | neal | How does the N900 do AGPS? The N900 does not support reporting neighboring cellular towers. What is it using instead? |
| 12:53.50 | pupnik | the connected cell tower? |
| 12:54.07 | lardman | SUPL |
| 12:54.28 | neal | pupnik: You can't do triangulation with one tower... |
| 12:54.40 | pupnik | the tower knows its location |
| 12:54.45 | lardman | nor does it do triangulation afaiu |
| 12:55.41 | lardman | The AGPS functionality consists of the N900 obtaining ephemeris and alamanac data for its current location as returned by the connected cell tower, afaiu |
| 12:55.57 | lardman | ephemeris being the location dependent one there |
| 12:56.13 | neal | I see |
| 12:58.12 | neal | I'm actually a bit confused. |
| 12:58.53 | neal | The agps info is not sent via a TCP/IP connection. |
| 12:58.53 | lardman | how so? |
| 12:59.04 | lardman | yes it is |
| 12:59.05 | *** join/#maemo XenonXZ (~user@212.183.140.44) |
| 12:59.19 | neal | Hmm. |
| 12:59.41 | lardman | the N900 talks to a SUPL server somewhere, e.g. the Google one or the Nokia one, and tells it the cellid that it's connected to |
| 12:59.51 | neal | only the cell id? |
| 13:00.14 | lardman | yes, afaiu, I know that SUPL can do other things, but I don't think those are used here |
| 13:00.17 | neal | I thought you just said it downloads the ephemeris and almanac data. |
| 13:00.32 | lardman | yes, but the ephemeris data are location dependant |
| 13:00.45 | lardman | so the SUPL server needs to know what to generate/send to the device |
| 13:00.49 | neal | And that's what it is getting from the supl server? |
| 13:00.55 | lardman | yes |
| 13:01.59 | lardman | there are other things that SUPL can do afair, like taking parts of the recorded GPS signal and brute forcing a location from them, but I don't think that's necessary if you have a rough location provided by the cell tower |
| 13:02.35 | lardman | and is also significantly more computationally expensive I'd guess |

| 13:15.53 | BCMM | maybe, but i can see the correct answer in my head now |
| 13:16.07 | BCMM | all you'd get from that would be the elevation of the sun |
| 13:16.15 | BCMM | the angle between "down" and the sun |

| 15:26.59 | crashanddie | and we're not going to be able to help you unless you give us some specific examples that will allow us to deduce what kind of cast you need |

| 15:29.34 | merlin1991 | I need to cast that to pretty much any type of function pointer since depending on what string I feed it I get back another opengl function (yay for the awesome windows opengl system) |
| 15:29.37 | lcuk | merlin1991, what is the function prototype that the pointer should represent? |
| 15:30.03 | merlin1991 | the very first one I need would be void (GLsizei n, GLuint *renderbuffers) |
| 15:30.09 | crashanddie | for example, you could have glCreateProgram = (PFNGLCREATEPROGRAMPROC)cont->getProcAddress("glCreateProgram"); |
| 15:30.33 | crashanddie | where cont is a QGLContext * |
| 15:32.36 | merlin1991 | yeah I found lots of examples like that, but sadly the glext header for windows is missing most of the typedefs like PFNGLCREATEPROGRAMPROC |
| 15:32.50 | crashanddie | get an OS that works then. |
| 15:32.54 | merlin1991 | :D |
| 15:33.00 | merlin1991 | I'd love todo that :P |
| 15:33.31 | merlin1991 | so I need to know I have to put in the ( ) to create for example the pointer to the function with the signature (GLsizei n, GLuint *renderbuffers) |

| 16:50.59 | dashavoo | Sorry to jump late into the conversation, but what *is* neighbour cell whateveritwas you were talking about? |
| 16:51.05 | SpeedEvil | pokes timeless_xchat, and waits for the next sentance. |
| 16:51.19 | timeless_xchat | please don't provide a big hit region which enables the user to quickly dimiss the dialog and lose the work |
| 16:51.26 | SpeedEvil | dashavoo: the cell is the 'router' your phone is connected to. |
| 16:51.41 | timeless_xchat | eyes HAM's restore feature |
| 16:51.46 | SpeedEvil | dashavoo: Neighbouring cells are ones it can 'see' - but is not connected to. |
| 16:51.50 | BCMM | dashavoo: i don't really know what they're talking about either, but a GSM phone knows which other cells are in range and is ready to switch over if they get stronger than the one it's using |
| 16:52.25 | BCMM | (it knows which frequencies to check because the cell in use tells it how to find the neighbours) |

| 16:52.31 | dashavoo | SpeedEvil, BCMM, thanks, I think I can put it all in context now :) |
| 16:52.33 | ZogG | hey guys |
| 16:52.37 | SpeedEvil | dashavoo: Knowing the neiighbouring cell - and more information about them as is also available - such as timing information - can enable you do do rapid positioning 'free' - and with zero additional power usage. |
| 16:52.38 | ZogG | happy patricks |
| 16:52.53 | SpeedEvil | Sure - the positioning may only be to within a few tens of meters, but that may be fine. |

| 16:53.52 | dashavoo | ok, as being as everyone seems to be around at the moment, and I'm off home in a minute anyway... I noticed that the power kernel supports mesh networking, does anything actually use it? |
| 16:54.24 | SpeedEvil | The OLPC can. |
| 16:54.31 | SpeedEvil | I don't know how much that's used though. |
| 16:55.34 | DocScrutinizer | I considered writing an app that does mesh via BT/WLAN for areas where authorities like to switch down internet every now and then |
| 16:56.03 | dashavoo | DocScrutinizer: that would be cool |
| 16:56.31 | DocScrutinizer | of course it would need several other properties, like signature and loose routing and authentication and whatnot, to be really useful |
| 16:56.34 | dashavoo | Somebody told me something about an android application that uses mesh networking for that type of situation, which is what piqued my interest in it |

| 17:01.26 | BCMM | DocScrutinizer: why, what's it like? |
| 17:02.22 | DocScrutinizer | dunno, I guess you need a few old libs and cling to a few old /sys pathnames |
| 17:02.56 | DocScrutinizer | can't see any major subsystem getting binned on 2.6.3x |
| 17:02.58 | BCMM | DocScrutinizer: oh, i thought you were claiming experience and suggesting i wouldn't say such things if i knew what it was like or something |
| 17:03.28 | DocScrutinizer | nah, I'm honestly suggesting you start such a project. Much appreciated |
| 17:03.46 | BCMM | yeah, it would be pretty cool. .33 has some patches that should improve responsiveness on almost any system under heavy load |
| 17:03.55 | BCMM | unfortunately i am nothing like a kernel hacker |
| 17:03.59 | DocScrutinizer | you might want to ask the SHR dudes on #openmoko-cdevel about what they got so far |
| 17:04.39 | BCMM | DocScrutinizer: i don't really know what the barriers are - the kernel claims to be untainted, so i guess there aren't any binary drivers compiled against a specific version |
| 17:05.02 | BCMM | DocScrutinizer: is the only serious issue that there is closed userspace that expects sysfs stuff to be in specific locations? |
| 17:05.02 | DocScrutinizer | aiui they are experimenting with 2.6.36/7 (??) but not for N900 so far |
| 17:05.28 | DocScrutinizer | yes, I think so |
| 17:05.33 | BCMM | what i said 33 i didn't mean 33 |
| 17:06.02 | MohammadAG | MeeGo uses .37 |
| 17:06.07 | MohammadAG | (on the N900) |
| 17:06.17 | BCMM | DocScrutinizer: is there any chance of simply modifying the binaries to adjust the sysfs paths? |
| 17:06.22 | timeless_xchat | grr, i can't install bluemaemo because of a conflict over libeina0 |
| 17:06.26 | BCMM | or are the new paths longer? |
| 17:06.35 | BCMM | yes, i know that would be a licensing can of worms |
| 17:06.41 | DocScrutinizer | BCMM: a nice idea, I'll ponder about it |
| 17:07.02 | MohammadAG | longer is an understatement |
| 17:07.07 | BCMM | but a binary patch could be applies on teh device |
| 17:07.09 | BCMM | ah |
| 17:07.23 | MohammadAG | I wouldn't worry about bme or mce |
| 17:07.34 | BCMM | MohammadAG: the new sysfs paths are much longer? |
| 17:07.51 | MohammadAG | and more confusing, at least to me |
| 17:08.02 | MohammadAG | I felt lost in sysfs, unlike on 2.6.28 |
| 17:08.03 | BCMM | i guess that would pretty much prohibit modifying string literals in the binaries? |
| 17:08.20 | BCMM | MohammadAG: so which important stuff moved? |
| 17:08.25 | MohammadAG | depends, which binaries? |
| 17:08.37 | MohammadAG | all paths changed, in one way or another |
| 17:08.40 | ZogG | MohammadAG 2.6.28 is so ooold |
| 17:08.44 | ZogG | it's os yesterday |
| 17:08.49 | MohammadAG | ZogG, less confusing though |

| 17:08.58 | MohammadAG | 2.6.38 is shit, at least on my laptop |

| 17:09.31 | BCMM | MohammadAG: "I wouldn't worry about bme or mce" in what way? |
| 17:09.43 | ZogG | MohammadAG, you have it on laptop |
| 17:09.44 | MohammadAG | BCMM, they were updated for MeeGo |

| 17:13.16 | ZogG | MohammadAG, talk to me when you do |
| 17:13.39 | BCMM | so either you're using vanilla suspend, which sucks, or you're using an experimental tuxonice patch |
| 17:14.09 | ZogG | BCMM, do you use gentoo-sources? |
| 17:14.23 | BCMM | ZogG: sys-kernel/tuxonice-sources |
| 17:14.36 | ZogG | BCMM, just for hibirnate? |
| 17:14.37 | BCMM | ZogG: which has the gentoo-sources +tuxonice |
| 17:14.48 | ZogG | BCMM, seriosly? |

| 17:15.08 | BCMM | ZogG: which bit provokes incredulity? |

| 17:15.42 | BCMM | any right now, it lags behind gentoo- a little too |
| 17:15.59 | BCMM | ZogG: gentoo and vanilla are both at .38, tuxonice is at .37 cause of upstream |
| 17:16.19 | BCMM | ZogG: eix sys-kernel/tuxonice-sources, it's right there in the description |

| 17:17.07 | ZogG | BCMM, why don't they include it in vanilla? |
| 17:17.17 | BCMM | ZogG: politics... |
| 17:17.31 | BCMM | ZogG: iirc, they want to be in the kernel.org kernel |
| 17:17.41 | BCMM | ZogG: but somebody doesn't agree with how their doing thigns |
| 17:17.51 | BCMM | wants to move more stuff to userspace, i think |
| 17:17.59 | BCMM | ^they're doing things |
| 17:18.44 | BCMM | i don't think there's any disagreement that it beats the existing suspend support; it's just that somebody is working on a supposedly superiour replacement |
| 17:20.20 | BCMM | ZogG: the alternative, more user-space-ish, suspend implementation is uswsusp |
| 17:20.43 | ZogG | but it's the only thing that works |
| 17:20.59 | MohammadAG | I wish the N900 had suspend to RAM |
| 17:21.21 | MohammadAG | I don't mind DocScrutinizer's battery swap method, but it needs a wall charger, and a wall |

| 17:22.52 | DocScrutinizer | MohammadAG: N900 has s2ram, SpeedEvil tested it, and I don't see how that helps. And my hotswap works with external battery packs as well |

| 17:35.36 | BCMM | i'm still on 4.5 |
| 17:35.40 | ZogG | BCMM, you have flags =) |
| 17:35.50 | ZogG | USE=-hal =) |
| 17:36.04 | BCMM | it isn't compulsory, but it is required for GUI mounting/unmounting of removable media |
| 17:36.04 | MohammadAG | basically, how to use gstreamer widgets in Qt |
| 17:36.08 | ZogG | though i waited a lot for xfce4 to use udev insted of hal |
| 17:36.17 | ZogG | it wa or hal or mount manually =) |
| 17:36.24 | BCMM | like i said, they modifed Solid in 4.6 to not use HAL |
| 17:36.43 | ZogG | almost everyone did |
| 17:36.51 | ZogG | they use udev |
| 17:37.04 | BCMM | anyway, deprecated doesn't mean it doesn't work any more, so i still don't understand why telephony should break |
| 17:37.21 | ZogG | but latest X and hal were fine with autodetection my xorg.conf was empty, everything out of box |
| 17:37.32 | BCMM | "HAL is in maintenance mode - no new features are added." - it's not even unmaintained |
| 17:37.46 | APTX | as a neat side effectof dropping hal, the ability of setting a keyboard layout vanished yet again |
| 17:38.27 | ZogG | BCMM, as i understood maemo uses something that is not in meego kernel or changed with something and unleast you have source of dialing and other apps that are built in you can't fix them and you can't replace the |
| 17:38.49 | ZogG | APTX, not true |

| 18:16.11 | Venemo | huh! |
| 18:16.32 | Venemo | so if I use fixed-point calculations, then my stuff will run more than 10Ã faster? |

| 18:16.55 | jacekowski | but then even more than 10x |

| 18:17.07 | DocScrutinizer51 | if it's all just divisions and muls then yes |
| 18:17.18 | Venemo | well, Qt Graphics View uses lots of fp calculations |
| 18:17.34 | SpeedEvil | If you can use NEON, things may change. |
| 18:17.47 | SpeedEvil | Also - 100 may be pessimistic |
| 18:17.52 | SpeedEvil | 10 is probably optimistic though |
| 18:17.53 | Venemo | "Graphics View is built with the assumption that the user's hardware is able to provide reasonable performance for floating point instructions" |

| 18:54.29 | Lantizia | I'm not saying it is |
| 18:54.35 | MohammadAG | and Maemo 6 != MeeGo |

| 19:17.47 | pupnik | yacc: yes i'm using an e71 now for my phone (n900 for my phun) |
| 19:18.12 | MohammadAG | i hate how symbian lacks proper update support |
| 19:18.55 | yacc | So developing for Nokia phones has been always something for SM practitioners, with emphasis on the M. Why should being backstabbed by Nokia be something new, it's a tradition ;) |
| 19:19.24 | yacc | Although I wonder, I mean, AFAIK, Nokia still has no written contract with MS, ... |
| 19:20.44 | pupnik | maybe they can build nice hardware, people will hate the wm7, and we can run linux on them |

| 19:23.05 | yacc | pupnik, I don't think so, because WP7 equals a very strict list of hardware requirements (which are said to be slightly dated, kind of 1-2 years compared to current Android/iPhone handsets), so if they don't get a special dispension from MS, they'll be able to produce more or less the same phones that are currently on the market, now with Nokia logo, and slightly more flash, and slightly more mega pixel then the others, and we offer it in a dozen colors, ... |

| 22:04.10 | Surjikal | kwtm, 'sudo gainroot' then 'ifconfig'? |
| 22:04.14 | kwtm | Venemo: Would you mind checking which package provides that ifconfig command on your N900? (I forget the actual command ... apt-cache search ifconfig or something...) |
| 22:04.40 | Venemo | kwtm, it's there by default |
| 22:04.45 | kwtm | Surjikal: Umm... does "sudo gainroot" do something different from "root"? |

| 22:05.02 | kwtm | Venemo: Okay, would you mind typing "type ifconfig" on your N900? Maybe my path is not set up correctly. |
| 22:05.05 | Venemo | but you should use 'root' |
| 22:05.05 | Surjikal | kwtm, not sure.. try just 'sudo ifconfig' |
| 22:05.41 | Venemo | kwtm, 'ifconfig is /sbin/ifconfig' |

| 22:07.19 | Surjikal | That's how I normally do it. |
| 22:07.35 | Surjikal | That and sudo gainroot, ifconfig |
| 22:07.47 | Surjikal | or** |
| 22:07.50 | kwtm | Hmm, it's aliased to busybox... |
| 22:08.01 | Surjikal | ehhh? |
| 22:08.08 | Surjikal | that is strange |
| 22:08.23 | Venemo | not really. that's how busybox works |
| 22:08.37 | BCMM | symlinked, rather than aliased |
| 22:08.42 | Venemo | correct |
| 22:08.58 | Surjikal | I see, how does it know which program to execute? |
| 22:09.05 | BCMM | busybox is a single binary, implementing sh, cat, ifconfig, top, etc. etc. |
| 22:09.18 | BCMM | it works out how to behave based on what it was called as |
| 22:09.23 | kwtm | Surjikal: Did you pre-configure the sudoers file to allow ifconfig? Mine says "user is not allowed to run /sbin/ifconfig" |
| 22:09.39 | Surjikal | Don't remember 100% but I doubt it. |
| 22:09.50 | kwtm | Well, it's aliased to /sbin/ifconfig which is symlinked to busybox. |
| 22:09.52 | Venemo | Surjikal, the path from which your executable is called is passed as the first parameter to it. so it is the first item of main()'s argv |
| 22:10.44 | BCMM | (the first parameter, argv[0], is the name by which the program was invoked) |

| 22:11.03 | MohammadAG | good luck Venemo |
| 22:11.22 | Surjikal | Right, I thought that would have been busybox. I guess it makes sense that its ifconfig though :D |

| 22:14.39 | BCMM | Venemo: on a normal machine, you'll find a /bin/echo too |
| 22:14.42 | Venemo | alterego, honestly, I'll probably fail it. |
| 22:14.49 | kwtm | Wow, first time ssh'ing into my N900. What fun. I don't even have to hook up a USB cable. :) |
| 22:15.11 | Venemo | BCMM, interesting. there's /bin/echo on my Fedora :P |
| 22:15.28 | Venemo | BCMM, yet, 'type echo' says that it's a shell builtin too |
| 22:15.37 | BCMM | Venemo: yeah, there would be on any "ordinary" GNU/Linux system |
| 22:15.56 | Venemo | mhm |
| 22:16.06 | kwtm | Venemo: If you use a shell that doesn't have echo as a built-in, your /bin/echo is there. |
| 22:16.08 | BCMM | Venemo: yeah, because it's an easy thing to implement and greatly improves performance of shell scripts |

| 22:16.21 | BCMM | Venemo: it's part of GNU Coreutils |
| 22:16.25 | Venemo | mhmm |
| 22:16.28 | Venemo | interesting :) |
| 22:16.36 | MohammadAG | part of busybox on the N900! |
| 22:16.59 | BCMM | yeah, maemo has no coreutils by default |
| 22:17.14 | kwtm | Although I'm switching everything over to printf (which I guess wasn't there in the olden days, because I don't see how echo could offer anything that printf doesn't). |
| 22:17.39 | BCMM | Venemo: coreutils is the package providing stuff like cat and so on on a normal GNU system |
| 22:17.52 | *** join/#maemo FireFly (~firefly@unaffiliated/firefly) |
| 22:17.57 | Venemo | BCMM, yeah, I'm aware of that :) |
| 22:17.58 | BCMM | other BB stuff like top and ifconfig are normally provided by other projects, though |
| 22:18.03 | BCMM | oh, sorry |
| 22:18.07 | Venemo | no problem |
| 22:18.33 | Venemo | :) |
| 22:18.39 | kwtm | Okay, found ifconfig. It's at /sbin/ifconfig, and I just have to specify the full pathname, and then I can execute it as user, even. :) |
| 22:18.45 | Venemo | anyway, goodbye :) |
| 22:20.07 | mlwane | guys does anybody know how to share my laptop's internet with my n900 via usb ? (Ubuntu 10.10) |
| 22:20.40 | Surjikal | mlwane, there's a bunch of guides out there I believe. |
| 22:21.28 | Surjikal | I think connecting via usb will create a network. Not too sure though.. Try plugging it in and check ifconfig |
| 22:21.43 | mlwane | Surjikal, yeah but unfortunately none of them worked with me :( |
| 22:21.47 | Venemo | mlwane, why don't you just set up an ad-hoc wifi? |
| 22:22.34 | mlwane | ad-hoc will use a lot of power |
| 22:22.40 | *** join/#maemo FireFly|n900 (~n900@unaffiliated/firefly) |
| 22:22.40 | Venemo | who cares? |
| 22:22.43 | Surjikal | Is it possible to play back a sound file over a phone call? |
| 22:22.52 | Venemo | no |
| 22:22.56 | Surjikal | mlwane, yeah, you were going to plug it in anyway |
| 22:23.17 | Surjikal | venemo, why not? |
| 22:24.26 | pupnik | we could build a telescope to detect organic molecules on other planets |
| 22:24.29 | pupnik | 1.5 billion euro |
| 22:24.40 | mlwane | Surjikal, yeah but i want to keep it running for a long period of time and that will ruin the battery by time |
| 22:24.58 | MohammadAG | is there a way to play only sound from an mp4 file? |
| 22:25.25 | Surjikal | mlwane, I guess so.. you could always remove the battery I think. But in any case, usb tethering should work. |
| 22:26.40 | mlwane | Surjikal, usb tethering is not that to use the phone as a modem only ? |

| 22:31.33 | mlwane | by keeping on recharging it all the day |
| 22:31.36 | Surjikal | mlwane, I thought thats what you wanted. So you want to share you pc's network connection with the n900? |
| 22:32.17 | mlwane | Surjikal, yes |
| 22:34.25 | kwtm | How do I find out the RSA key fingerprint of my N900 that I'm SSH'ing into? Somehow it asked me this time "hey are you sure there's no MitM?" but last time it didn't. |
| 22:35.02 | SpeedEvil | umm... |
| 22:35.18 | SpeedEvil | <PROTECTED> |
| 22:35.20 | SpeedEvil | k |
| 22:35.58 | SpeedEvil | It will store the key - or it should, and if it changes, will warn |
| 22:37.34 | kwtm | SpeedEvil: No. It's not there. You're referring to the hashes of the key of the remote computer (which still isn't useful since it's hashed). What I'm talking about is if it warns: Hey! Are you sure this is right? The key I'm getting from the remote server is AA-BB-CC-DD-whatever. Is that correct? |
| 22:37.39 | *** join/#maemo jevin (~jevin@manbearpig.ecn.purdue.edu) |
| 22:37.51 | kwtm | The question is: how do you go to the remote server and check if it really is "AA-BB-CC-DD-whatever"? Where is that stored? |
| 22:39.27 | SpeedEvil | Oh |
| 22:39.37 | SpeedEvil | <PROTECTED> |
| 22:40.00 | SpeedEvil | This gets stored - along with the user key - in ~/.ssh/known hosts on your local system. |
| 22:40.06 | SpeedEvil | Or something like that. |
| 22:40.13 | SpeedEvil | If either of these changes, it warns. |
| 22:40.14 | SpeedEvil | I think |
| 22:41.17 | kwtm | Thanks, SpeedEvil |
| 22:41.37 | kwtm | I did get a permission denied, but I was able to find this command posted on the web, which does what I want ... ssh-keygen -l -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key |
| 22:41.43 | SpeedEvil | man sshd |
| 22:41.58 | kwtm | accompanied by a blog posting how ridiculous it is that it takes so much trouble just to get the hostkey. |
| 22:42.00 | SpeedEvil | That should get run at first run of sshd |
| 22:42.43 | kwtm | I mean, I'm just trying to log in from another computer just to get things done ... by this time I've forgotten why I wanted to ssh into the N900 in the first place ... |
| 22:42.51 | kwtm | Oh, well, another alias to be defined... |
| 22:43.09 | Macer | kwtm: heh |
| 22:43.26 | Macer | kwtm: i've done that before ;) |
| 22:43.48 | Macer | installed openssh then didn't find a use for it . but then again i don't dev much on it :) |
| 22:43.54 | Macer | i'm sure the coder fanboys love it |
| 22:43.58 | yacc | mlwane, where are you stuck? |
