| 11:02.16 | javispedro | the guy was very friendly last time |
| 11:02.39 | javispedro | let's see if they make me a reasonable price. |
| 11:02.40 | chem|st | Shapeshifter: those scratches I got too but you cannot see them if not looked at the device in 48° sun:64° eyes correlaion |
| 11:02.51 | DocScrutinizer | Shapeshifter: oh, I actually got a scratch cat 2 when some sharp dust was on my fingernail, plus several microscars that are hardly to spot even with mag glass |
| 11:02.55 | Shapeshifter | meh I have good eyes |

| 11:03.44 | DocScrutinizer | you can't see either of those scars without a lightsource reflecting on panel in right angle |
| 11:04.02 | chem|st | Shapeshifter: that is not the problem... the thing is that I can only guess where they are as fingerprints are more of an issue... |
| 11:04.36 | DocScrutinizer | I hardly ever have fingerprints as I usually use nails |
| 11:04.45 | Shapeshifter | I guess I'll risk it and just buy a spare touch screen just in case |
| 11:05.03 | DocScrutinizer | but don't ask what panel looks like after a phonecall ;-P |
| 11:05.08 | Shapeshifter | now that it's over a year old I guess I'm not overprotective anymore |
| 11:05.12 | Shapeshifter | heh |
| 11:05.20 | chem|st | DocScrutinizer: +1 |
| 11:05.48 | Shapeshifter | I was thinking about improving the stylus |
| 11:05.55 | Shapeshifter | it's not super polished |
| 11:06.06 | chem|st | Shapeshifter: new screen isn't that expensive although I would buy a new device after warranty anyways (mean new n900) |
| 11:06.16 | Shapeshifter | ah |
| 11:06.27 | DocScrutinizer | in fact I thought that would be the only property of stylus that justifies the price |

| 11:08.08 | chem|st | there is no need to mirror my desktop to my phone... |
| 11:08.10 | Shapeshifter | I would enjoy faster browing and faster multitasking. though IO really seems to be the killer bottleneck on the n900 |

| 11:08.25 | nid0 | tbh, if you had a pentacore phone with that kind of memory and storage |

| 11:09.06 | DocScrutinizer | my home partitions is like 20, root like 14 |
| 11:09.14 | Lynoure | nid0: as the phone does not do mindreading yet :) |
| 11:09.18 | Shapeshifter | loves his SSD... |
| 11:09.25 | DocScrutinizer | then there's that C and D carp |
| 11:09.31 | chem|st | nid0: because of the fermi-graphics in my desktop |
| 11:09.35 | nid0 | Lynoure: you can plug keyboards and large screens into most phones. |
| 11:10.07 | DocScrutinizer | (C / D) which more and more becomes a PITA |
| 11:10.24 | Lynoure | nid0: give me a docking station, sure, the phone would then be my desktop |
| 11:10.25 | DocScrutinizer | well, the 60GB disk is kinda obsolete anyway |
| 11:10.34 | chem|st | DocScrutinizer: system is 20 in sum then there is 160 home and 2TB crypt |

| 11:13.30 | Lynoure | nid0: but currently the phones fall far short of that. :) |
| 11:13.58 | chem|st | my netbook got 160gb more than enough, BUT to mirror my desktop... I would need 1TB at least |
| 11:14.49 | DocScrutinizer | meh, your 'netbook' seems better than my main PC (which is this laptop) |
| 11:15.40 | chem|st | I want a TX100 |
| 11:15.42 | DocScrutinizer | well, I don't do mp3 collect-the-world or dl of whole films except for an occasional DrHouse |

| 14:08.34 | DocScrutinizer | Volvagia356: make sure your replacement magnet doesn't interfere with sensor (they are really close to each other |

| 16:12.53 | CaCO3 | I am building an external bvattery pack for the usb port. Now, when I shorten the D+, D- line, I get max 450mA |
| 16:13.04 | CaCO3 | do you know how to reach the stated 1.2A? |
| 16:13.20 | DocScrutinizer | hmm, who's stating 1.2A? |
| 16:13.36 | cehteh | the charger can deliver 1.2A |
| 16:13.37 | CaCO3 | with 450mA, the charging e3fficiency I calculated is only 66% |
| 16:13.43 | CaCO3 | http://wiki.maemo.org/N900_Hardware_Battery_Charger |
| 16:14.19 | cehteh | CaCO3: well charge current depends on how full the battery is too |
| 16:14.19 | DocScrutinizer | we all know that page, but I dunno what's your point |
| 16:14.27 | cehteh | tried with an empty battery? |
| 16:14.47 | CaCO3 | I supply 5V and only can charge with 450mA max |
| 16:14.54 | cehteh | and also what kind of electronics and battery do you use |
| 16:14.59 | CaCO3 | jup, battery at 0% |
| 16:15.06 | DocScrutinizer | charger limits USB current to 950mA for fastcharging, to treat battery nice |
| 16:15.23 | cehteh | i soldered a usb cable with D pins shortened recently and it works well |
| 16:15.26 | CaCO3 | the external power device doesnt matter, I also tried a dc svoltage supply |
| 16:15.50 | cehteh | you shortened them on the device side? :) |
| 16:16.13 | CaCO3 | normaly I use 200 ohms, but tried also shortening them |
| 16:16.36 | cehteh | yeah shortening them is a hack .. 200ohms or so are speced |
| 16:16.51 | DocScrutinizer | CaCO3: the charger does a CC/CV charging, that means it won't go above the configured current nor above the configured voltage of LiIon cell, whatever kicks in first |
| 16:16.52 | CaCO3 | 950 would be fine as well ;) |

| 16:19.13 | cehteh | anyway i never measured the charge current .. i only noticed with bad cables that it wont charge at all .. or that charging takes very long |
| 16:19.19 | CaCO3 | well, shortening (0 ohms) gives me at 5.05V only 470mA (battery level at 44%) |
| 16:19.44 | cehteh | while here at my desk i just plug it in over the normal usb cable to a hub .. that charges slowly but acceptable |
| 16:20.14 | CaCO3 | I made myself a usb extention cable with 200 ohms, as most chargers else do not work |
| 16:20.22 | CaCO3 | (wall chargers) |
| 16:20.26 | DocScrutinizer | CaCO3: that's what the charger chip does when no support from sw kicks in: detect D+- short, and switch to max500mA@3.7V |
| 16:20.44 | DocScrutinizer | yeah, forget that 200ohm BS |
| 16:21.01 | CaCO3 | I know, but I didnt like a pure shortcut ;) |
| 16:21.07 | CaCO3 | so how could we tell it to go higher? |
| 16:21.13 | cehteh | just shortened it and it works |
| 16:21.44 | DocScrutinizer | bme will usually tell charger to go to 950mA@4.20V |
| 16:22.03 | cehteh | i bet this cheap usb hub has no limiting and acknowledgement of power and i can use my rigged charge cable to fast charge the device on the hub :P |
| 16:22.06 | CaCO3 | so I would have to request it by software |
| 16:22.15 | DocScrutinizer | if your battery only takes 226mA@4.2V then what can charger do? |
| 16:22.30 | CaCO3 | its the original battery |
| 16:22.41 | DocScrutinizer | doesn't matter |
| 16:23.07 | *** join/#maemo krau (cktakahasi@canuck.infradead.org) |
| 16:23.08 | DocScrutinizer | at ~50% charge the LiIon charging curve enters CV branch |
| 16:23.08 | cehteh | but when its already 44% full it may take less ... most currentl flows when its empty at the first 20 minutes or so |
| 16:23.09 | CaCO3 | you know, it is not really that important, just hoped the charging efficiency could go up. and also the time :) 3..4h is just a lot |
| 16:23.25 | CaCO3 | the nokai charger doies it much faster |
| 16:23.40 | cehteh | then shortening the pins and dont use 200 ohms and see |
| 16:23.57 | CaCO3 | ok, will try that |
| 16:24.11 | cehteh | well whats the inner resistance of your power source .. can it deliver more current without voltage drop? |
| 16:24.13 | CaCO3 | after I force drained the battery again :) |
| 16:24.26 | CaCO3 | 3A should be enough .) |
| 16:24.35 | DocScrutinizer | it starts with 950mA and voltage going up from maybe 3.5V to 4.2V, then it stays at 4.2V and current goes down from 950mA to finally zero(virtually) |
| 16:24.47 | CaCO3 | and my external USB battery pack is designed to supply at least 1A |
| 16:25.03 | cehteh | at 5V? |
| 16:25.16 | cehteh | self made pack? |
| 16:25.32 | CaCO3 | I have 2 3.7 LiIon in series to have enough voltage and use a dc dc converter to generate 5V |
| 16:25.34 | CaCO3 | yup |
| 16:25.51 | CaCO3 | at the moment only on the table, but I will pack it into a nice case |
| 16:26.28 | cehteh | buyed the bike Reecharge thingy .. too lazy to build one by myself |
| 16:26.32 | CaCO3 | the problem is the efficiency :( the charger has only 66% and my circuit as well. that makes it less than 50% efficient in tola |
| 16:26.47 | DocScrutinizer | CaCO3: there's definitely nothing to optimize with charging, except to go for D+- short rather than this odd ill 200R |
| 16:27.06 | cehteh | yes not much you can do |
| 16:27.07 | CaCO3 | cehteh: whats the capacity of your batteries |
| 16:27.11 | CaCO3 | (bike charger) |
| 16:27.16 | cehteh | 1600 mah LiPoly |
| 16:27.40 | cehteh | http://www.thinkbiologic.com/products/reecharge-power-pack |
| 16:27.53 | CaCO3 | how many charges do you get out of it? |
| 16:28.11 | cehteh | barely 1 i'd guess. i never used it for that |
| 16:28.13 | DocScrutinizer | prolly one |
| 16:28.29 | cehteh | its only for buffering at stops, usually its suppiled by the hub dynamo |
| 16:28.30 | CaCO3 | :( thats also what I expect |
| 16:28.51 | CaCO3 | I will use 4x a LiIon 980mAh |
| 16:28.58 | DocScrutinizer | btw bq27200 should be way better than 66% |
| 16:29.02 | CaCO3 | might buy bigger batteries if it works well |
| 16:29.11 | DocScrutinizer | @ 66% charging would overheat device |
| 16:29.25 | cehteh | well any electronics cant be worse than the nokia CA-146C :) |
| 16:29.28 | CaCO3 | well, I charged it with a wall charger and measured the current over time |
| 16:30.15 | CaCO3 | then I calculated the used maH and got to roughly 66% |
| 16:30.25 | DocScrutinizer | and what's the unit of the resulting value? I don't get what you're reading out of that? |

| 16:32.01 | DocScrutinizer | shominimumuld be at 80% |
| 16:32.07 | cehteh | yeah .. so you have quite some losses at all ends |
| 16:32.10 | DocScrutinizer | mmpf |
| 16:32.20 | DocScrutinizer | should be at 80% min |
| 16:32.26 | ShadowJK | FWIW, I built my own charger too, and it turned out I was losing a non-zero amount of volts in the cable I used (butchered some generic usb extension cable) |
| 16:32.34 | DocScrutinizer | prolly more like 90% |
| 16:32.42 | cehteh | efficiency? |
| 16:32.48 | DocScrutinizer | sure |
| 16:32.53 | CaCO3 | well, I did it very roughly, might be a bit higher, expecially if I use 0 ohms instead 200 ohms |
| 16:33.02 | cehteh | yes i guessed too something between 80-90% |
| 16:33.18 | DocScrutinizer | this doesn't make any diff on digital |
| 16:33.31 | DocScrutinizer | just 200R are ABS MAX |
| 16:33.49 | cehteh | but if your battery feeds a dcdc stepdown with 80-90% first and then the device has another dcdc then its not terriby efficient anymore |
| 16:33.50 | CaCO3 | the biggest problem is, when the battery is fully empty, it will limit the current to 100mA as the OS is off, even I would give it more. |
| 16:34.11 | cehteh | but there isnt much you can do |
| 16:34.14 | SpeedEvil | It boots once it hits 3.?V |
| 16:34.25 | CaCO3 | dono, never tried |
| 16:34.27 | SpeedEvil | And then negotiates. |
| 16:34.46 | DocScrutinizer | look, the charger is a tiny chip with a small choke. If you charge 1A@5V * (100%-66%) you'd melt down that thing |
| 16:34.59 | cehteh | for massaging the dynamo's current there are some good reasons to use a good old linear regulator too :) |
| 16:35.18 | cehteh | DocScrutinizer: heatsink, massive Fan :) |
| 16:35.35 | CaCO3 | ah, thats the nose my N900 always makes :) |
| 16:36.34 | CaCO3 | first I did the dc dc converter myself with PWM and a micro controller. But its responding too slow when the current rises. this makes the N900 to deny the charging :( |
| 16:36.52 | DocScrutinizer | CaCO3: there's NO way to get OS off when charging |
| 16:36.54 | CaCO3 | now I use a chip (MC34063) which works well |
| 16:37.02 | DocScrutinizer | except battery undervolt |

| 16:55.42 | cehteh | after my cheap replacement got broken (it worked well for some time) i disassmebled it |
| 16:55.56 | DocScrutinizer | I guess bme is completely derailed when it comes to batteries != ~1300mAh |
| 16:56.02 | DocScrutinizer | no matter what'sBSI |
| 16:56.05 | cehteh | on the outside is 1300mah or so .. but 950mah printed on the cell directly |
| 16:56.16 | kerio | nobody still wrote a full, opensource replacement for bme? |
| 16:56.22 | vi__ | so I am a lvl57 hyper-naab. I am trying to get scratchbox to change to the 'armel'target as oppose to x86. EVerytime I enter: |
| 16:56.25 | vi__ | <PROTECTED> |
| 16:56.29 | vi__ | I am told: |
| 16:56.40 | DocScrutinizer | kerio: it's hard |
| 16:56.53 | vi__ | sb-conf: You must close your other Scratchbox sessions first |
| 16:57.05 | CaCO3 | vi__ sb-menu |
| 16:57.11 | vi__ | however I have not got any other SB sessions open |
| 16:57.12 | CaCO3 | and restart scratchbox |
| 16:57.20 | DocScrutinizer | kerio: there's not only bse err bme, there's also IPC between this pile of sh*t and other closed stuff |
| 16:57.44 | DocScrutinizer | even to cellmo |
| 16:57.54 | ShadowJK | and management of usb cable, and usb power restrictions |
| 16:58.12 | vi__ | CaCO3: Thank you! |
| 16:58.14 | DocScrutinizer | of course *all* undocumented and not even completely understood to the purpose of it |
| 16:58.28 | ShadowJK | espeically the cable management is "annoying" in the sense that if you do it wrong your device ends up eating the battery in 12 hours |
| 16:58.37 | kerio | omnomnom |
| 16:58.38 | vi__ | CaCO3: can you point me to any resources I may read that can help me avoid asking such dumbass Qs in the future? |
| 16:58.48 | kerio | batteries are delicious! |
| 16:58.51 | CaCO3 | check the maemo wiki |
| 16:59.45 | DocScrutinizer | vi__: you especially can avoid leaving chan 10min after asking question, without waiting for an answer - for the future ;-) |
| 17:00.09 | vi__ | sorry, sometimes my connection craps out and I dont notice :( |
| 17:00.19 | DocScrutinizer | ok |
| 17:00.34 | CaCO3 | :) |
| 17:01.02 | CaCO3 | http://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/Maemo_5_Final_SDK_Installation |
| 17:01.03 | DocScrutinizer | vi__: yes, afaik cssu MMHD is a full version incl shortcuts |
| 17:01.36 | DocScrutinizer | vi__: if you wanna be sure ask MohammadAG |
| 17:01.40 | vi__ | thank you |
| 17:01.44 | DocScrutinizer | yw |
| 17:01.54 | kerio | mmhd? |
| 17:01.58 | CaCO3 | all right, thank you all for your advice/feedback! was nice to chat with you |
| 17:02.01 | DocScrutinizer | modified mhd |
| 17:02.04 | kerio | also, does cssu include good unix tools? |
| 17:02.10 | DocScrutinizer | nope |
| 17:02.11 | vi__ | however after a little reading I can see I need to have dbus-scripts installed to take advantage of any of the shortcuts |
| 17:02.18 | kerio | how about a compiler? |
| 17:02.21 | kerio | i like a compiler |
| 17:02.23 | DocScrutinizer | nope |
| 17:02.27 | vi__ | and I wanna avoid dbus-scripts |
| 17:02.32 | MohammadAG | funny how I just started XChat... |

| 17:02.56 | DocScrutinizer | not adding arbitrary crap that can go extras-devel |
| 17:02.57 | ShadowJK | CaCO3, i think your "950mAh" battery is lost cause for bme charge tracking |
| 17:03.03 | CaCO3 | It worked, and due my backup I didnt loose anything :) |
| 17:03.30 | CaCO3 | you mean its not possible? |
| 17:03.34 | CaCO3 | Doesnt really matter that much, I was just wundering |

| 17:04.50 | Volvagia356 | DocScrutinizer, I'm curious, what made NITDroid into a "buzzword"? |
| 17:05.38 | DocScrutinizer | the devels over there not getting their shit together with multiboot (and generally being quite ignorant about coexistence) |
| 17:06.11 | vi__ | a buzzword like 'ecosystem' or 'vertical integration'? |
| 17:06.32 | Volvagia356 | what's with multiboot? |
| 17:06.38 | DocScrutinizer | a buzzword like "do you want the ban with shugar?" |
| 17:06.58 | ShadowJK | btw, I tried enable 1250mA charging once...but, the device gets unreasonably warm, and the battery wear&tear was noticeable after 50 cycles |
| 17:07.03 | DocScrutinizer | multiboot breaks systems, every day like 500 |
| 17:07.14 | ShadowJK | is back to 0.7C 950mA |
| 17:07.21 | DocScrutinizer | it's not compatible, can't get deinstalled |
| 17:07.35 | Volvagia356 | only on install, or even after a successful install? |
| 17:07.49 | DocScrutinizer | all the time |
| 17:08.11 | Volvagia356 | so it just happens, regardless of how it installed |
| 17:08.20 | DocScrutinizer | you can't deinstall, and you can't update maemo kernel |
| 17:08.33 | Volvagia356 | unless you reflash everything, right? |
| 17:08.40 | DocScrutinizer | no matter what you do, you end with a broken system |
| 17:08.44 | DocScrutinizer | right |
| 17:08.57 | DocScrutinizer | that's why /topic |
| 17:09.03 | Volvagia356 | I can see that |
| 17:09.40 | Volvagia356 | what about the fact that by default, it uses 500MHz min and 700MHz max? |
| 17:10.21 | DocScrutinizer | will eat CPU a lil bit too fast for me to feel good with it |
| 17:10.48 | vi__ | ow, your talking about nitroid? |
| 17:11.01 | vi__ | the biggest con is that android is complete ass |
| 17:11.53 | Volvagia356 | and that's basically why I spent a month going all over the place hunting for a 1.5 year old phone |

| 17:29.59 | CaCO3 | what I did, I took another project and hstudied it |

| 17:30.46 | vi__ | aaah |
| 17:30.48 | vi__ | ok |
| 17:30.58 | CaCO3 | if you have all the right files at the right place, use scratchbox to generate the needed files to upload them |

| 17:42.41 | ds3 | MohammandAG: I donno what gint tries to be but I am guessing - atoi(argv[.... is likely to be worth a try |
| 17:42.58 | MohammadAG | atoi? |
| 17:43.00 | ds3 | argv['s are a string. atoi converts from ascii string to an integer |
| 17:43.02 | DocScrutinizer | atoi |
| 17:43.08 | Choom | MohammadAG: strtol(), strtoul() |
| 17:43.12 | Volvagia356 | come on, reflashing the kernel on OS change? |
| 17:43.13 | ds3 | or strol or stroul |
| 17:43.17 | ds3 | strtol |
| 17:43.49 | DocScrutinizer | I seem to remember atoi been kinda obsolete ? |
| 17:44.04 | ShadowJK | atoi() |
| 17:44.04 | MohammadAG | ds3, part of standard libs? |
| 17:44.08 | ShadowJK | strtod() |
| 17:44.09 | DocScrutinizer | or a bit stubborn, or retarded, or sth? |
| 17:44.17 | ShadowJK | snscanf() |
| 17:44.22 | ds3 | atoi should be a stock thing |
| 17:44.27 | DocScrutinizer | snscanf() thats it |
| 17:44.56 | ShadowJK | atoi might be ancient bsd, *scanf is often a bit overkill |
| 17:44.58 | ds3 | man page claims it is even posix |
| 17:45.02 | DocScrutinizer | atoi has "issues" |
| 17:45.13 | DocScrutinizer | iirc |
| 17:45.29 | ds3 | it doesn't do errors |
| 17:45.43 | cehteh | atoi is standard, itoa isnt |
| 17:46.50 | *** join/#maemo liar (~liar@clnet-p09-185.ikbnet.co.at) |
| 17:46.53 | cehteh | sometimes atio is just ok .. when you dont need to care about errors |
| 17:46.56 | Volvagia356 | well this will hopefully be my final question here for now |
| 17:46.57 | DocScrutinizer | atoi might segfault or sth - can't recall the details |
| 17:47.03 | cehteh | DocScrutinizer: nope |
| 17:47.20 | ds3 | cehteh: is atoi(NULL) defined? |
| 17:47.27 | Volvagia356 | Is it possible to dump kernel, rootfs and emmc into suitable files for flashing using flasher-3.5? |
| 17:47.36 | DocScrutinizer | no |
| 17:47.46 | cehteh | none of the stdlib string (cough .. char*) functions is null pointer safe |
| 17:48.07 | cehteh | strcmp(NULL,NULL) segfaults too |
| 17:48.36 | ds3 | just saying, it might just segfault ;) |
| 17:48.54 | cehteh | anything might segfault when used in a undefined way |
| 17:48.58 | ds3 | heheh |
| 17:49.10 | DocScrutinizer | for some reason I decided for the *scanf versions last time I digged into that |
| 17:49.37 | cehteh | the more interesting thing what does atoi(" 0123") return? .. how about atoi("\n0123") and so on |
| 17:49.39 | Itschue | anyone now what the different is of the nokia n8 and n900 usb cable or what can happen wenn i use the usb cable from n900 to plug zhe n8 on the pc(i dont want to do that but a friend want it and i sy no use your cable becaus there are different nokia numbers) |
| 17:49.39 | Volvagia356 | DocScrutinizer: was that 'no' directed at me? |
| 17:49.44 | DocScrutinizer | yes |
| 17:49.49 | Volvagia356 | I see |
| 17:50.06 | DocScrutinizer | backupmenu, as close as it gets |
| 17:50.20 | cehteh | if you have the slightiest doubt that the string is not a well formed number and may over/underflow the integer then you must not use atoi |
| 17:50.27 | ds3 | cehteh: as long as it is something like 0, that's should be fine |
| 17:50.31 | MohammadAG | DocScrutinizer, that's the notification source anyway |
| 17:50.44 | DocScrutinizer | noticed that :-) |
| 17:50.45 | MohammadAG | passing 0 to timeout would make the notification permanent, till clicked |
| 17:51.01 | cehteh | atio returns 0 in case of an error but you cant tell if it was beause of an error or the string was "0" |
| 17:51.13 | ds3 | but that's falling into the category of doing dumb things aka GIGO |
| 17:51.19 | DocScrutinizer | that's just fine here |
| 17:51.54 | ds3 | you could always do if (strcmp("0",str) ==0 && .... |
| 17:51.55 | ds3 | ;) |
| 17:51.58 | DocScrutinizer | invalid parameter := 0 is just acceptable |
| 17:52.23 | DocScrutinizer | ds3: maybe that'S why I decided for *scanf() |
| 17:52.49 | ShadowJK | string handling in C is awesome, because everyone is an expert |
| 17:52.52 | DocScrutinizer | MohammadAG: seems common sense it atoi is ok |
| 17:53.11 | ds3 | hehe |
| 17:53.33 | DocScrutinizer | ShadowJK: actually a really god trolling ;-) |
| 17:53.42 | DocScrutinizer | good* |
| 17:54.05 | ds3 | anyways, that was the shortest (character wise) fix for the question on hand. |
| 17:54.12 | DocScrutinizer | ask for converting 13.4 to an int ;-D |
| 17:54.21 | SpeedEvil | The string is a lie! |
| 17:54.37 | ds3 | atoi should handle 13.4 to int |
| 17:54.48 | ds3 | behaves just like casting |
| 17:54.51 | DocScrutinizer | ooh, it does? |
| 17:54.55 | DocScrutinizer | cool |
| 17:55.08 | ds3 | it stops at the first character that isn't valid so it truncates |
| 17:55.16 | DocScrutinizer | would it also handle +13 ? |
| 17:56.13 | ds3 | I know it does do -13, never tried +13 |

| 18:30.44 | Itschue | io kno a command that schows all but not the . |
| 18:30.52 | DocScrutinizer | Zucca: so yes, in this way it's a great hack |
| 18:32.00 | Zucca | ShadowJK: Some (long) time ago there was a thread about N900 not being able of OTG, but hostmode yes that needs to be triggered first. |
| 18:32.37 | *** join/#maemo FireFly|n900 (~n900@unaffiliated/firefly) |
| 18:32.40 | Zucca | Itschue: ls |
| 18:32.51 | DocScrutinizer | Zucca: we need to exploit diagnostic functions of the hw to implement hostmode |
| 18:33.25 | Zucca | Itschue: It shows all but not those beginning with a dot (.). |
| 18:33.44 | Itschue | ok tanks |
| 18:33.52 | DocScrutinizer | with -a (or --all) it shows the hidden .files as well |
| 18:34.25 | Zucca | DocScrutinizer: Good to hear that it's not actually a hack. |
| 18:35.23 | Zucca | I' about to buy a USB touch display. It would be great when navigating. |
| 18:35.44 | DocScrutinizer | depends on you definition of hack, it somewhat sounded disrespectful the way you asked |
| 18:35.51 | Zucca | Actually it doesn't need to be touch enabled even. |
| 18:37.36 | DocScrutinizer | Zucca: and h-e-n never will go -testing as it has no chance to go extras, it depends on powerkernel which at least for me is an argument not to promote it |
| 18:37.48 | Zucca | DocScrutinizer: Didn't mean to be disrespectful at all. And yes, hack sounds a bit like "built fast to do the thing", like gludge sounds. |
| 18:38.59 | DocScrutinizer | well, others think different, see the friggin overclocking GUI |
| 18:39.00 | Zucca | I use power kernel because of Mobile Hotspot. Although I don't use it much... |
| 18:39.40 | DocScrutinizer | but I don't feel like promoting h-e-n to extras, really |
| 18:40.21 | ShadowJK | I wouldn't feel like promoting anything depending on kernel-power to extras |
| 18:40.27 | DocScrutinizer | but then in the end moh maintains the GUI pkg, and dunno who the PK |
| 18:40.47 | DocScrutinizer | ShadowJK: my rationale, see above |
| 18:40.51 | Zucca | Also I use that OC GUI, but to lower the clockspeed. I have noticed it saves battery time when I keep ssh connection open to my server. |
| 18:40.51 | ShadowJK | but that's just my opinion after discovering the monolithinc patch style development :P |
| 18:41.52 | DocScrutinizer | Zucca: now that's a rather interesting find |
| 18:42.06 | ShadowJK | Mostly the ssh will consume radio power if it's updating something frequently. A single packet is roughly equivalent to 5s talk-time on 3g. 5s of straming music is also roughly equivalent to 5s talk-time :P |
| 18:43.25 | DocScrutinizer | ssh remote sessions shouldn't keep transmitting things or hog the cpu all the time |
| 18:44.13 | DocScrutinizer | so if lowering cpu speed helps there has to be sth odd in there |
| 18:44.40 | ShadowJK | Yeah I have 3 open, had them open 2 weeks without noticing any extra drain (but I also have xchat open) |
| 18:45.06 | DocScrutinizer | same here |
| 18:46.51 | DocScrutinizer | wtf is ls --author ? |
| 18:47.33 | ShadowJK | smells of gnu |

| 20:07.21 | ShadowJK | I thought laptop_mode was 0 or 1 setting |
| 20:07.24 | zakkkkm | ShadowJK , so you think i should get high sd card, and switch swap to the microsd card? |
| 20:07.29 | cehteh | note that you should know its implications as in loosing uncommited data |
| 20:07.56 | cehteh | zakkkkm: there is another bug in the kernel which sometimes makes it hang on high io load |
| 20:07.58 | ShadowJK | zakkkkm, I'd get a Sandisk Mobile Ultra, and put swap on it :P |
| 20:08.14 | cehteh | i tried to distribute swap load on emmc and sd card (both same priority) |
| 20:08.40 | cehteh | which in theory should scale ... the linux kernel would do that and the hardware could do that too |
| 20:08.41 | zakkkkm | Ohh, nevermind.. took me a bit |
| 20:08.45 | ShadowJK | I found better improvement from having swap only on microsd, because there's already /home /opt and MyDocs on emmc |

| 20:10.57 | ShadowJK | you don't have bandwidth |
| 20:11.04 | ShadowJK | you have IOPS, you can do about 4 of them per second |
| 20:11.05 | ShadowJK | :P |
| 20:11.11 | cehteh | haha |
| 20:11.13 | zakkkkm | have a "high" class 4 / 6 card right now in microsd, would it help to use that for swap you think? |
| 20:11.16 | ShadowJK | (compared to 50,000 on a OCZ SSD) |
| 20:11.30 | zakkkkm | cehteh, yeah. zram/compcache |
| 20:11.35 | ShadowJK | Yeah. You need to use a swap partition though, swap files don't work very well. |
| 20:11.48 | cehteh | yes there is no much you can do |
| 20:11.57 | zakkkkm | I remember Stskeeps trying that i believe, like years ago |
| 20:12.06 | zakkkkm | 4?! |
| 20:12.10 | dangergrrl | n900 doesn't have calypso/iota/rita chipset for the GSM part i'm guessing |
| 20:12.19 | ShadowJK | checks |
| 20:12.30 | zakkkkm | true i guess it is more iops |
| 20:12.43 | zakkkkm | im just surprised microsd's are so low |
| 20:12.47 | ShadowJK | Yes, 4 |
| 20:12.55 | zakkkkm | i only think of IOPs of harddrives and such, not small storage |
| 20:13.13 | ShadowJK | But it's 4 whether your write is 4k or 1M |
| 20:13.41 | ShadowJK | Actually the sandisk I mentioned tested out at 7-8 |
| 20:14.25 | ShadowJK | Transcend full size SD 80X 1GB: 13 |
| 20:14.46 | zakkkkm | 4 for emmc or sd? |
| 20:14.58 | ShadowJK | I haven't tested emmc, but it's probably similar |
| 20:15.01 | zakkkkm | so SD is considerably faster? |

| 20:16.18 | zakkkkm | ShadowJK: where are you removing emmc's swap, and adding the sd one? |
| 20:16.22 | zakkkkm | you using fstab? |
| 20:16.45 | merlin1991 | I dunno whenever I read dangergrrl I read dangergirl instead, wishfull thinking on my side? |
| 20:17.01 | ShadowJK | zakkkkm, I just do it manually on boot |
| 20:17.03 | ShadowJK | fstab does nothing. |
| 20:17.14 | zakkkkm | i see a /dev/mmcblk0p3 none swap sw 0 0 , in /etc/fstab. .you just changing the dev node, with mmcblk1p1 (being one and only swap partition. |
| 20:17.28 | zakkkkm | i see normal swap getting mounted though in fstab |
| 20:17.34 | zakkkkm | it ignores it? |
| 20:17.40 | DocScrutinizer | zakkkkm: fstab is a fake |
| 20:17.52 | DocScrutinizer | gets rebuilt on every boot |
| 20:17.56 | zakkkkm | blk0p1 mounted to /home/user/MyDocs .. blk0p2 = /home , and blk0p3 - swap |
| 20:18.00 | ShadowJK | fstab is autogenerated AFTER things have been mounted. So, it only reflects what hte scripts did. Nothing ever acts on it. |
| 20:18.15 | DocScrutinizer | zakkkkm: one of the nice idiosyncrasies of mameo |
| 20:18.16 | zakkkkm | ah |
| 20:18.25 | ShadowJK | Anyway, if you start meddling with the init scripts, you better backup first, because it's very easy to shoot yourself in the foot. |
| 20:18.25 | merlin1991 | hm I think the ati driver on my notebook went crazy |
| 20:18.48 | merlin1991 | or something more serious, now sounds stuttering too and the screen hangs on login animation |
| 20:18.48 | zakkkkm | im thinking "regular" linux here, dont know how maemo works well |
| 20:19.22 | DocScrutinizer | definitely *very* easy |
| 20:19.25 | zakkkkm | so should i umount /dev/mmcblk0p3 , and swapon /dev/mmcblk1p1(i putting it to mmcblk1p1. ) |
| 20:19.39 | ShadowJK | It's complicated a bit by that there's no initfs anymore (*shake fist at people wanting it gone*), and emmc is only available relatively late in boot |
| 20:19.43 | DocScrutinizer | the good news however are that backupmenu will still work |
| 20:19.51 | DocScrutinizer | usually |
| 20:19.56 | ShadowJK | zakkkkm, no, swapon microsd first, then swapoff mmcblk0p3 |
| 20:20.10 | ShadowJK | If you do it the other way, apps start panicing when there's suddenly alot less memory available. |
| 20:20.36 | zakkkkm | so i mount , then umount? |
| 20:20.44 | zakkkkm | kk :) |
| 20:21.04 | DocScrutinizer | you don't mount swap |
| 20:21.34 | zakkkkm | ah, sorry yeah. |
| 20:21.49 | DocScrutinizer | I think like it's been mount some 15 years ago, but not nowadays |
| 20:21.55 | zakkkkm | i consider it mounting cause its being used somewhere.. whether or not in filesystem |
| 20:22.09 | zakkkkm | i guess a better word is "turn it on" |

| 22:18.32 | joga | I've found the ultimate fix for "can you do something about my laptop, it doesn't turn on / it shuts down randomly / it's messed up" is to disassemble it and blow out *all* the dust and crap on each and every part and especially the system fan |
| 22:18.48 | joga | but if you have it that bad I don't think a simple dusting will help anymore |
| 22:18.50 | merlin1991 | dedusted it 2 weeks ago :D |
| 22:18.57 | merlin1991 | and also yea |
| 22:19.11 | merlin1991 | if that's overheat damage it's past getting ok by dedusting again :D |
| 22:19.16 | joga | but the amilo did exactly that when it got hot |

| 22:44.13 | FIQ|n900 | Hi. Something doesn't feel right here. I was going to copy over my microSD card's content to MyDocs. Checked how much space it used -- 5G. Fine. Checking how much space left on MyDocs. 25G - Fine. Copying, but after 51MB, N900 completly stopped responding, and forced me to do a hard reboot. After doing so, MyDocs is read-only. How can I check why this is the case? |
| 22:44.48 | merlin1991 | FIQ|n900: I had similar thing yestserday |
| 22:44.56 | FIQ|n900 | Also checked space after that operation, and nothing is full or anything like that. |
| 22:44.56 | merlin1991 | another reboot made mydocs normal again |
| 22:45.16 | merlin1991 | in my case it was an unzip operation on some 400mb that cause it |
| 22:45.31 | FIQ|n900 | ah |
| 22:45.50 | FIQ|n900 | One other thing I just noticed is that for just one hour ago, this appears in maemo-optify's log: 2011-05-27 00:30:55 :: not enough free space in /home (need at least 200 MB free), quitting. |
| 22:46.29 | FIQ|n900 | That's incorrect, I have 1.5MB free in /home, which is enough, why does it say it's too short on space? |
