| 00:57.19 | jonwil | The hardware of the N900 is starting to look a bit dated (and if it was possible to upgrade the parts in the N900 with new ones someone would have found out how to do it by now) |

| 01:06.42 | Hurrian | jonwil, uhh, that's if the GTA04 devs figure out power management |

| 01:07.59 | XenonXZ | nn all |
| 01:08.10 | Hurrian | night |
| 01:11.03 | jonwil | What makes power management so hard? I thought it was all done by the kernel on a modern Linux setup |
| 01:11.37 | jonwil | Although I guess the real issue (battery life) is all to do with optimizing the whole system to run better |
| 01:13.45 | ShadowJK | Have you use hibernate/suspend-to-disk and/or suspend-to-ram on a linux machine? |
| 01:14.05 | jonwil | nope I haven't |
| 01:14.39 | ShadowJK | Ah well, N900 does suspend-to-ram seamlessly, even when screen is on |
| 01:15.17 | ShadowJK | Getting linux kernel to run on a cpu is much easier than getting it to shut down the cpu and wake it up again reliably |
| 01:15.47 | Hurrian | jonwil: last I heard the wifi module sucked an unholy amount of power for piss range. |

| 01:17.06 | ShadowJK | Without the DVFS, and the sleep modes, N900 idle batterylife would be 5 hours instead of the actual 10-11 days (radios off, screen off, etc) |
| 01:17.29 | Hurrian | ShadowJK, and while in use, 30 minutes. |
| 01:17.47 | Hurrian | (this can be demonstrated by booting Debian with the Nemo adaptation kernel) |
| 01:17.55 | ShadowJK | lol |
| 01:18.07 | ShadowJK | 30m is impossible :) |
| 01:18.55 | Hurrian | IIRC Stskeeps said that even with some original RX-51 team members working on MeeGo for the N900, they still couldn't make MeeGo run on the same power envelope as Fremantle |
| 01:19.06 | Hurrian | so yes, embedded power management is hard. |
| 01:21.12 | jonwil | I am guessing that even if you have the same hardware its not just a case of "hey, xyz has already written power management code for our SoC, lets pinch theirs" |
| 01:22.08 | ShadowJK | I suspect omap3 is the only cpu with proper-ish power management code |
| 01:23.11 | jonwil | The |
| 01:24.12 | ShadowJK | The original OLPC had similar abilities, they had to completely ditch the bios and rewrite from scratch to accomplish it :) |
| 01:24.45 | jonwil | and yeah if the MeeGo guys couldn't match Fremantle for power management when they were using identical hardware and much the same kernel and userspace bits (dsme, mce, bme etc) I dont think the GTA04 guys have a chance |
| 01:26.12 | jonwil | Be interesting to see some hard numbers comparing the power management/battery life profile of an N900 with stock Fremantle and a N900 with Pali's BME replacement work, see how the new stuff affects battery life |
| 01:27.26 | ShadowJK | Not significantly |
| 01:27.46 | ShadowJK | I've been running my own for years |
| 01:28.29 | ShadowJK | perhaps only difference is that bme shuts down earlier to avoid suddenly running out of power and the potential filesystem corruption from that |
| 01:29.44 | jonwil | I do wonder which bits of the system are the ones causing MeeGo-on-N900 to have a worse power envelope than Fremantle. Or maybe its just that userspace programs (GUI, apps etc) aren't as well written for MeeGo as they were for Fremantle and therefore use more juice... |
| 01:30.20 | ShadowJK | I remember DocScrutinizer bitching about the sensor framework atleast |
| 01:30.36 | DocScrutinizer05 | indeed |
| 01:31.22 | DocScrutinizer05 | qtm and sensorfw all based on polling rather than IRQ event driven |
| 01:31.39 | jonwil | What bit of phone handles sensor framework on Fremantle? |
| 01:31.50 | ShadowJK | let's take an example of fremantle and idle N900: 11 days life. fremantle otherwise idle, but following script running: "while true; do sleep 5 ; done": 4 days life. |
| 01:32.14 | DocScrutinizer05 | a sane design decision for all sorts of devices with different sensors that not always have IRQ, but all the devices have lots of battery power or even PSU |
| 01:32.50 | ShadowJK | So if you've got 4 random things polling accelerometer, proximity, camera door, etc, even with half-minute poll interval you've just dropped idle life to four times less |
| 01:33.14 | Apic | I wish there was a Compass |
| 01:33.30 | Apic | My G1 had one, but I threw it away in a psychotic Episode. |
| 01:34.20 | ShadowJK | the compass in my android tablet is about as useful and accurate as a Ouija board |
| 01:34.27 | Apic | Ok |
| 01:35.08 | DocScrutinizer05 | jonwil: (which bit of sw) depends, some is done by mce, some by liblocation, some by libisi, etc pp |
| 01:36.00 | DocScrutinizer05 | and quite some of them are also not as strictly event driven as they should be |
| 01:37.15 | DocScrutinizer05 | e.g. accelerometer, it's way better than the one used in mer, but still miles from optimum |
| 01:37.49 | Sc0rpius | remember the Ubuntu Phone OS I talked like 2 days ago? |
| 01:37.58 | DocScrutinizer05 | it just doesn't matter that much since they probably poll accelerometer only when screen active |
| 01:37.59 | Sc0rpius | here's a demo: http://youtu.be/kXWnMTm7We8 |
| 01:38.06 | Sc0rpius | it should work on any hardware. |
| 01:38.25 | Sc0rpius | I think it really looks gorgeous |
| 01:38.41 | Sc0rpius | we should work in porting that to the N900! |
| 01:39.34 | ShadowJK | "any hardware" is kinda... |
| 01:39.40 | DocScrutinizer05 | not sure if I should post *yawn* now, or get me a coffee prior to clicking that link |
| 01:40.03 | ShadowJK | in practice it's like N900 and Google Nexus*, right |
| 01:40.09 | Sc0rpius | it's just 2 minutes Doc |

| 01:40.41 | Sc0rpius | just like Maemo, if it runs Maemo, why not Ubuntu phone? |
| 01:41.45 | ShadowJK | the only major thing hardware-wise is that they've made ubuntu run on android kernel instead of needing linux kernel |

| 01:45.49 | Sc0rpius | to me, it's unusable. |
| 01:46.00 | Sc0rpius | and it's a quad-core tablet with 2 GB of RAM |
| 01:47.14 | ShadowJK | The whole point of their "any hw" claim is that they run on existing android kernel of the "any hw", that way they don't have to write device drivers and fight with device vendors |
| 01:47.25 | DocScrutinizer05 | Sc0rpius: I'm a system guy |
| 01:48.29 | Sc0rpius | ShadowJK, well yeah so far it only works with Nexus because the whole OS is OpenSource and they can grab drivers from there |
| 01:48.37 | Sc0rpius | but that's not the point in the future |
| 01:48.40 | DocScrutinizer05 | Sc0rpius: ...and i'm kinda oldfashioned, so I hate to find upstart on a friend's buntkuh box when he asks for help, while *all* by boxes have proper sysV-init, and I don't see *any* advantage of that new crap |

| 07:13.43 | Sicelo | Snafu777: i don't know. i don't even know what you mean by 'static' |
| 07:15.50 | Sicelo | in any case, you shouldn't be able to remove HAM. you can try to reinstall it (apt-get install --reinstall ...) |
| 07:16.02 | Snafu777 | it sucks and its slow |
| 07:16.11 | Snafu777 | i user faster application manager |
| 07:16.33 | Sicelo | HAM is slow, but your FAM can kill your system. |
| 07:18.40 | Sicelo | leave HAM alone. maybe ccsu will eventually make it suck less |
| 07:19.41 | Snafu777 | i just wanted to remove it in hopes that it doesnt mess with my sources list |
| 07:19.44 | Snafu777 | how can FAM kill the system? |
| 07:20.08 | Snafu777 | because by default, it will overwrite my sources list |
| 07:20.19 | Snafu777 | But Sicelo, I would be very interested to know why it would kill the system? |
| 07:20.23 | Sicelo | you can't remove HAM. you can't even remove games :P |
| 07:20.32 | Snafu777 | i did |

| 07:20.50 | Snafu777 | and u can remove games dude =) |
| 07:23.15 | Sicelo | Impressive. Anyway, removing HAM is a questionable thing to do. |
| 07:23.26 | Snafu777 | Not following? |
| 07:23.46 | Snafu777 | its a shitty application GUI, and it affects my sources list |
| 07:23.50 | Snafu777 | it tries to autoupdate |
| 07:24.02 | Snafu777 | the scum who invented it should be shot and hung and disemboweled |
| 07:24.11 | Snafu777 | by why do u say it should not be removed? whats yer basis? |
| 07:25.07 | Sicelo | you can adjust the auto-update period |

| 07:25.22 | Snafu777 | which is BS |
| 07:25.29 | Snafu777 | a gui should not modify a file without permission |
| 07:25.57 | Snafu777 | But why do u say removing it would break the system? |
| 07:26.45 | Sicelo | i didn't. i said it's questionable. |
| 07:27.33 | Snafu777 | I don't agree man =) I appreciate the "advice" but its questionable advice at best, you can't tell somebody they shouldnt do something with a computer if u dont have a reasoning to back it up, that's never a good way to give advice |
| 07:28.01 | Snafu777 | U also said FAM can kill my system, why" |
| 07:28.02 | Snafu777 | ? |

| 09:27.14 | Snafu777 | feedback |
| 09:27.28 | Snafu777 | so i can drop /etc/apt/sources.list |

| 09:28.12 | Snafu777 | Basically here is what I am trying to do |
| 09:28.17 | Snafu777 | Trim some fat off the stock OS |

| 09:28.35 | Snafu777 | but people who will use the image i create will |
| 09:28.39 | Snafu777 | therefore i need a nice GUI for them |

| 09:29.56 | infobot | blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah |
| 09:30.36 | kerio | and yes, HAM is awful |
| 09:30.41 | Snafu777 | i know about /etc/apt/sources.list, but the people who invented the N900 had some crazy ideas regarding FHS and their implementation thereof |
| 09:30.44 | Snafu777 | ie... |
| 09:30.49 | Snafu777 | 256MB nand...and placing / on it |
| 09:30.53 | kerio | set the autoupdate frequency to a year or so |
| 09:30.56 | Snafu777 | yeah |
| 09:30.59 | Snafu777 | fixed that issue |
| 09:31.08 | Snafu777 | via gconf |
| 09:31.17 | kerio | Snafu777: rootfs on a 230mb ubifs is fine, if you put usr somewhere else |

| 09:33.15 | Snafu777 | tis good advice, vs, "they heard" from "that dude" who spoke with "that guy" who heard from "this fella" |
| 09:33.32 | kerio | packages that most definetely fail are, for instance, the various kernel flashers |
| 09:33.56 | Snafu777 | hmm |
| 09:33.59 | kerio | which sucks, because you tend to update (correctly) the modules at the same time, and then you reboot |
| 09:33.59 | Snafu777 | i can prolly google myself |
| 09:34.13 | Snafu777 | but can i tell apt-get NOT to look at /etc/apt/sources.list.d? |
| 09:34.30 | Snafu777 | <~~~ building a custom image to be distro'd out =) |
| 09:34.40 | kerio | i suppose there's a way |
| 09:34.41 | Snafu777 | if the user wants to interact with a GUI, cool |
| 09:34.50 | Snafu777 | but apt-get is the way the target audience will react |
| 09:34.56 | Snafu777 | and having the sources overwritten is bullshit |
| 09:35.08 | Snafu777 | or having apt-get look in two places |
| 09:35.10 | kerio | they won't be overwritten dammit |
| 09:35.13 | Snafu777 | in the n900's case |
| 09:35.23 | kerio | HAM will write its own file |
| 09:35.27 | Snafu777 | /etc/apt/sources.list.d/hildon-application-manager is definately overwritten |
| 09:35.30 | Snafu777 | and apt-get pulls from that |
| 09:35.36 | Snafu777 | which is why i asked =) |
| 09:35.44 | kerio | and having multiple files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d is standard, really |
| 09:35.51 | Snafu777 | yeah |
| 09:36.18 | Snafu777 | but writing something that will check for a file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* and removing it prior to an apt-get instance is stupid, I want one source for the users |
| 09:36.24 | Snafu777 | prefered to have /etc/apt/sources.list |
| 09:36.42 | kerio | so disable every catalog in HAM and use sources.list |
| 09:36.42 | Snafu777 | but if apt-get looks in /etc/apt/sources.list.d as well, and i cant permanently delete that location |
| 09:36.48 | Snafu777 | then it fucks me =-) |
| 09:36.58 | Snafu777 | but then that fucks the user who wants a gui =) |
| 09:37.03 | Snafu777 | I have to satisfy both kerio =) |
| 09:37.09 | kerio | no, HAM will use all the repos |
| 09:37.17 | Snafu777 | but will it not overwrite? |
| 09:37.27 | Snafu777 | via disabling every catalog in ham? |

| 16:09.35 | jonwil | I would imagine that negotiations would probably include the right to redistribute various (c) Nokia content, rights to use Nokia trademarks in certain cases where HiFo and the community needs to be able to use those trademarks and who knows what else |

| 16:12.35 | jonwil | There is a thread on tmo where people are supposed to be listing all things related to Maemo/MeeGo/Harmattan/N900/N950/N9 that are not on *.maemo.org but where ownership/distribution rights need to be transferred to the community so I imagine the stuff there factors into it too |
| 16:13.20 | SpeedEvil | imagines what a full release of all sources on open licences would do. |
| 16:13.22 | DocScrutinizer05 | and I think - even while generally non-public - HiFo *should* (B)CC at least council on their negotiations, since it's really way too much responsibility for just 2 people to get the whole FOSS spirit and all the minuscule details about each single domain right, without some sparring/feedback from other guys |

In saying that though reading the list at http://wiki.maemo.org/Fremantle_closed_packages I can see valid reasons why a fair whack of them remain closed |

| 16:25.03 | thedead1440 | of course |
| 16:25.10 | kerio | tough shit, it probably got nowhere close to him |
| 16:25.13 | thedead1440 | i wrote a long rant to him; its old news |

| 16:25.32 | thedead1440 | it got to him most probably |
| 16:25.42 | kerio | then the small chance that he could've stumbled upon it is actually 0 |
| 16:25.48 | thedead1440 | he replies to L920 users and mnb too before |
| 16:25.51 | DocScrutinizer05 | actually when HiFo sends back first contract with comments what should get changed, and gets a 2nd draft with worse conditions, it's not necessarily thedead1440 who made the lawyers reconsider. It might as well have been the comments HiFo added to the first draft that made Nokia lawyers look at some cases once again and suddenly notice there's something that slipped their attention in first draft |
| 16:26.27 | kerio | why wouldn't nokia want to just get rid of all the maemo cruft? |

| 16:27.13 | kerio | <elop> it's ok, we won't stop apps for windows phone being listed in china |
| 16:27.37 | thedead1440 | my main issues were with device support for existing devices with valid warranties |

| 16:33.30 | DocScrutinizer05 | or was this in a closed ML once again? |
| 16:33.49 | thedead1440 | nope doc it was cc'ed to board & council |
| 16:33.58 | DocScrutinizer05 | both are closed |
| 16:34.05 | DocScrutinizer05 | aka non-public |
| 16:34.48 | thedead1440 | releasing it just invites more flaming against me, I think... I'm an individual after all and its very easy to go on TMO and say due to thedead1440's email to Elop we have lost this and that |
| 16:35.02 | DocScrutinizer05 | so as long as HiFo bashing against you is non-public, I recommend you shouldn't answer it in public either |
| 16:35.04 | thedead1440 | cue massive outrage bla bla |
| 16:35.14 | thedead1440 | exactly that's what I was thinking too |
| 16:38.00 | jonwil | does his best to avoid political and legal crap |
| 16:38.03 | jonwil | I just want to write code :) |
| 16:38.51 | DocScrutinizer05 | ((<kerio> why wouldn't nokia want to just get rid of all the maemo cruft?)) kerio, HiFo is thinking BIG, really BIIIIG, they want further all sorts of maemo-derived and generally open source projects, maemo itself is just a small aspect on their agenda |
| 16:40.15 | DocScrutinizer05 | kerio: so I'm afraid they demand Nokia to do things they can't do, like opensourcing whole maemo (something we didn't manage even in times when there was actually personal in Nokia who knew what maemo actually is) |
| 16:41.08 | DocScrutinizer05 | other possible points of argue are about commercializing maemo trademark and sourcecode |
| 16:41.24 | DocScrutinizer05 | as well as meego and whatnot else |
| 16:42.34 | thedead1440 | DocScrutinizer05 explain "commercializing maemo trademark and sourcecode" you mean HiFo is asking for rights to do so? |
| 16:42.44 | DocScrutinizer05 | I sometimes think HiFo is overestimating their own power and relevance to entities like Nokia, jolla, etc |
| 16:43.18 | DocScrutinizer05 | thedead1440: if they would, this for sure might cause massive trouble in getting any agreement with Nokia |
| 16:45.19 | kerio | well, let's tell them to stfu |
| 16:46.03 | DocScrutinizer05 | whom? HiFo? I don't even know what they're saying right now, so I don't think STFU is the right advice |
| 16:47.20 | DocScrutinizer05 | rather my advice is: "consider doing frequent regular reality-check with your colleagues from maemo council" |

| 17:27.01 | freemangordon | THough you are most probably right |
| 17:27.26 | DocScrutinizer05 | it *is* that easy, tivoization is a standard feature on every SOC nowadays that you simply need to activate |

| 17:28.23 | DocScrutinizer05 | see HARM |
| 17:28.33 | thedead1440 | tivoization of sub-standard OS is what Jolla might end up |
| 17:28.40 | DocScrutinizer05 | basically, though HARM is harmless (pun intended) |
| 17:28.44 | freemangordon | sure. but I think the whole point is not running another OS on Jollaphone, but running sailfish on another devices |
| 17:29.08 | Sicelo | ~tivoization |
| 17:29.20 | DocScrutinizer05 | ~wiki tivoization |
| 17:29.55 | Sicelo | hmm. thanks |
| 17:38.15 | DocScrutinizer05 | so, let's wait and see if Jolla's first phone comes with "sharks with lasers" |
| 17:38.59 | DocScrutinizer05 | anyway I can't see anything bad in sailfish yet, from the general policy aspect POV |
| 17:39.13 | thedead1440 | i can see from the UI though |
| 17:39.38 | DocScrutinizer05 | that's a completely different topic and I tend to agree here |
| 17:40.11 | thedead1440 | and if its limited to 9 apps multi-tasking, i wonder if it means actually a more locked down OS than thought |
| 17:40.12 | DocScrutinizer05 | it's probably too much "a phone" for me to become my cup of tea, much like HARM |
| 17:40.24 | thedead1440 | worse than harm imo |
| 17:43.15 | M4rtinK | well, it looks more like just an unfinished design than something really HARMful :) |
| 17:43.37 | thedead1440 | ^^^hopefully |
| 17:45.02 | M4rtinK | If they release it like this & the GUI is not open enough to extend by the community |
| 17:45.07 | M4rtinK | well, that would be bad :) |
| 17:47.19 | DocScrutinizer05 | I guess Jolla will publish a sailfish that's open but rudimentary, and whoever over at china will do exactly what Nokia did: add closed blob skin apps and other shite, call it a product and tivoize it |
| 17:47.54 | thedead1440 | so emperor with new clothes but maybe of a slightly lower quality? |
| 17:48.08 | DocScrutinizer05 | we'll see |
| 17:49.31 | M4rtinK | isn't that also how Android works ? |
| 17:49.37 | DocScrutinizer05 | indeed |
| 17:50.14 | DocScrutinizer05 | afaik, never used any android device |
| 17:52.29 | DocScrutinizer05 | ooh, and by the life of mine I can't remember stskeep's answer to my question how sailfish manages to deliver on their claim that it takes them one nightshift to port sailfish to arbitrary new hw. I suspected they are exploiting android drivers like RIL (for modem) and GFX etc |
| 17:52.57 | DocScrutinizer05 | afaik not all RIL implementations are open source |
| 17:53.49 | DocScrutinizer05 | I think some answer been "we use ofono" which doesn't really answer my question |

| 18:12.50 | infobot | messy... err busybox is meant for lean scripting. Regarding all the missing options and immanent limitations (see su, passwd) it's not really the interactive shell of choice. A lot of people hate busybox because a lot of system integrators don't understand the difference between busybox and a decent user interactive shell plus unix utils |
| 18:13.05 | kerio | hm, i have gnu wget |
| 18:13.11 | kerio | in /usr/bin, what the hell |
| 18:13.35 | DocScrutinizer05 | no friggin messybox on my PC, and for sure I didn't think of N900 when I posted above workaround (though it should apply *in principle*) |
| 18:13.44 | kerio | Pali: are you sure wget isn't just gnu wget? |
| 18:14.02 | kerio | oh, it's not |
| 18:14.06 | DocScrutinizer05 | wget isn't messybox |
| 18:14.18 | kerio | wget is just... not there? apparently |
| 18:14.28 | Pali | kerio, there is also wget in some busybox |
| 18:14.31 | DocScrutinizer05 | wget isn't even installed per default on fremantle afaik |
| 18:14.42 | kerio | there's wget in sdk/tools and in extras-devel |
| 18:14.48 | Pali | but I do not know if nokia compiled wget aplet into our busybox |
| 18:14.49 | kerio | not sure about other extras |
| 18:15.02 | DocScrutinizer05 | maybe bauer-messybox has wget |
| 18:15.09 | DocScrutinizer05 | std messybox doesn't |
| 18:15.11 | kerio | wget: applet not found |
| 18:15.23 | kerio | the powah busybox does, ofc |
| 18:16.08 | kerio | and the progress bar is outputted to stderr, even in busybox wget |
| 18:16.13 | DocScrutinizer05 | wget comes with about 50% of pkgs in extras |

| 18:24.14 | DocScrutinizer05 | I'm more wondering if something could get improved in the patched etc/hosts |
| 18:24.17 | kerio | besides, what would that even mean? |
| 18:24.28 | kerio | do you want a dns request for each connection? |
| 18:24.38 | kerio | if the server doesn't support http 1.1, you're in for a treat |
| 18:24.43 | kerio | and a ban from your dns server, probably |
| 18:24.58 | Sicelo | i could probably run dnsmasq |

| 18:36.13 | fizzie | (The manufacturer firmware has a telnet admin interface that has a "sh" command to drop into busybox shell, but this ISP-customized version has been changed to not accept the same accounts/passwords the web admin interface does.) |

| 18:38.18 | SpeedEvil | sometimes, for a reason I don't understand, it asks for 20dB or so ,margin, which kills speed. |
| 18:38.43 | SpeedEvil | the router should only be able to be set to a higher margin than is requested. |
| 18:39.24 | SpeedEvil | but, if asked for a margin of 65530, it in fact sets less due to an overflow error. |

| 21:59.25 | Estel_ | Lately, I managed to put my hand on expensivfe (whole 2 euro ;P) usb-ethernet adaptor. It seems, that modules for it are already present in kernel-power, as it lights up and is recognized properly: |
| 22:00.09 | Estel_ | [ 1837.984039] usb 1-1: Product: USB 2.0 10/100M Ethernet Adaptor |
| 22:00.38 | kerio | that's irrelevant, it's just taking power |
| 22:00.45 | kerio | and the name is part of the usb specs in general i think |
| 22:00.50 | Estel_ | it lights up, and device on the other side (notebook) detects RJ45 being plugged in (it doesn't, when adaptor isn't enumerated by N900) |
| 22:00.55 | Estel_ | hm |
| 22:01.06 | Estel_ | still, no interface created |
| 22:01.11 | kerio | hm, plugged in and powered but not enumerated? |
| 22:01.32 | kerio | Estel_: could you try it on a linux box and check what module gets loaded? |
| 22:01.36 | Estel_ | it wouldn't print "product: USB (...)" without being enumerated |
| 22:01.37 | ShadowJK | I've never had much luck with $2 usb ethernet adapters even on PC.. |
| 22:01.53 | Estel_ | ShadowJK, yea, I saw your comment about davicom |
| 22:02.02 | Estel_ | although, this one works well on PC |
| 22:02.10 | ShadowJK | lol what, I was just going to mention that one |
| 22:02.20 | Estel_ | and it isn't davicom methinks (no davicom module auto-load, and it's part of kp too) |
| 22:02.44 | Estel_ | ShadowJK, I've done my homework and seen every TMO thread about those dongles :P |
| 22:02.59 | Estel_ | anyway, I noticed something that "may" be related, in syslog: |

| 22:04.02 | Estel_ | eithers module is incomplete, wrong one is loaded, or I have no idea |
| 22:04.40 | Estel_ | funniest thing - once, I got interface "uplink0" (sic!) created, no idea how and why, wasn't able to reproduce. It wasn't working in any way, too |
| 22:05.12 | Estel_ | peterleinched (in thread where ShadowJK commented on davicom) was able to get eth0 on his davicom, and ping it locally, no remote ping, though |
| 22:05.33 | Estel_ | I'm not even on step of interface up. Any ideas, how to force this cheap bastard to work? |
| 22:05.53 | Estel_ | kerio, I haven't ignored your idea of checking module from linuxbox, will do that too |
| 22:05.57 | ShadowJK | Check what module gets loaded on pc where it works? |
| 22:06.46 | Estel_ | sadly, had tested in on windoze only, till now. Lack of linuxboxes around... :( will make PITA for myself and download liveCD and run frolm it |
| 22:07.01 | Estel_ | aptosid should be recent enough, methinks, to contain such modules? |
| 22:07.17 | Estel_ | (no linuxboxes around - joys of travelling) |
| 22:07.57 | kerio | i suppose so |
| 22:08.14 | Estel_ | is noob when it comes on using USB-> eth adapters anyway, so not even sure how to test it properly on linuxbox, after setting one up from livecd on some PC around here |
| 22:08.30 | kerio | connect other computer, configure static ipv4, send ping and other stuff |
| 22:09.45 | ShadowJK | first google result claims davicom |
| 22:10.08 | Estel_ | BTW, cheap buying rox - from same supplier, I got RJ45/RJ11/BCN cable tester. Noticed, that it fails to check shield on RJ45. Disassembled. Well, it couldn't work, as there was no indication diode at all, for ground, neither on master or remote |

| 22:10.40 | ShadowJK | But the davicom driver in powerkernel doesn't have those IDs |
| 22:10.41 | Estel_ | unknown PID, even for driver? |
| 22:10.58 | kerio | i'm not sure what's supposed to load modules |
| 22:11.04 | Estel_ | ShadowJK, manual loading should work, or unknown ID will render it futile? |
| 22:11.55 | ShadowJK | the module doesn't have an option to try drive arbitrary devices |
| 22:11.56 | Estel_ | (ending story with shield check on cable tester - just soldered 2 diodes there, and it wprks as it should - funny enough, they were lacking on brand new, sealed device) |
| 22:12.15 | Estel_ | hm |
| 22:13.23 | Estel_ | ShadowJK, sorry for lame question - does your last sentence mean "manual loading won't work"? |
| 22:13.39 | Estel_ | ...and only way is to recompile module with my device's ID included? |
| 22:13.55 | ShadowJK | yes |
| 22:14.05 | Estel_ | (not sure though, but if it's really davicom, it's rather recent one) |
| 22:14.14 | kerio | you need 1) to load the module or make sure that it's loaded automatically, and 2) to make sure the module knows how to work |
| 22:14.29 | kerio | usually drivers for usb devices have a way to force them to work with a certain device |
| 22:14.39 | kerio | but it's module-specific i suppose |
| 22:15.16 | ShadowJK | usually devices more well known to come with batshit crazy random IDs |
| 22:16.20 | Estel_ | davicom should be known to come with those, well enough :P |
| 22:18.42 | Estel_ | ping Pali |
| 22:19.02 | Estel_ | well, it's davicom for sure (after some googling) |
| 22:20.34 | Estel_ | JP1082 chip, whatever it means |
| 22:20.51 | Estel_ | fun fact - seller claims that it's compatible with Android |
| 22:21.24 | Estel_ | and that android (= linux) drikvers are included in this funny mini-cd, included with package |
| 22:21.59 | Estel_ | is wondering, if those could be of any use |
| 22:22.14 | kerio | which drivers are those? |
| 22:22.43 | Estel_ | JP1082 :P sounds like bullshit name, investigating... |
| 22:23.01 | Estel_ | funny enough, android kids claim to sucesfully use this very model on their devices |
| 22:23.11 | Estel_ | (google result in some discussions) |
| 22:23.41 | *** join/#maemo aloril (~aloril@dsl-tkubrasgw3-54f97e-153.dhcp.inet.fi) |
| 22:23.55 | Estel_ | time to put this optical USB drive iinto use P;) |
| 22:24.02 | Estel_ | is connecting it to N900) |
| 22:24.09 | *** join/#maemo hardaker (~hardaker@208.106.33.148) |
| 22:25.27 | ShadowJK | first hit on google for me found some driver written by davicom |
| 22:26.25 | *** join/#maemo warfaren (~warfaren@c83-251-251-19.bredband.comhem.se) |
| 22:26.36 | Estel_ | same here, as ultra-slim optical drive readers are unabe to read mini-cd's... |
| 22:26.49 | Estel_ | so it's basically a trashdisk for me ;) |
| 22:26.53 | warfaren | so i've "bricked" my N900 to the 5 dots loading screens. supposedly because i have a .profile in my home folder |
| 22:27.05 | kerio | warfaren: it's not because of that, probably |
| 22:27.20 | kerio | ...well, maybe |
| 22:27.23 | warfaren | well it could be because that's what i found.. someone else had the same problem on google |
| 22:27.29 | warfaren | and he deleted that file and it fixed it |
| 22:27.33 | Estel_ | ShadowJK, could you check if ID there match my one? |
| 22:27.46 | warfaren | so my question is can i mount the file system to my laptop over USB? |
| 22:28.05 | warfaren | /dev/sdb and sdc appears as i connect it but mount just loads for a while and then doesn't recognize it |
| 22:28.16 | ShadowJK | Yes the first search for your id gave me that |
| 22:28.18 | Estel_ | wait, i can do it myself, too. Sorryp got confused for a while |
| 22:28.48 | ShadowJK | or rather someone editing davicom drivers for your id |
| 22:28.58 | Estel_ | so now the "easy" task of compiling it for kernel-power, without dev enviromnent (or even stable linuxbox) around :P |
| 22:29.03 | kerio | warfaren: 5 dots loading screen and then what? |
| 22:29.05 | kerio | reboot? |
| 22:29.10 | warfaren | nope just stuck infintely |
| 22:29.13 | Estel_ | or is there any better way? |
| 22:29.16 | kerio | hm |
| 22:29.36 | warfaren | i was stupid enough to run bash from .profile to make it my default shell. didn't realise it would run .profile on boot |
| 22:29.46 | warfaren | probably it just launches the shell and then gets nowhere |
| 22:29.56 | kerio | warfaren: /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc are the two LUNs that usb mass storage uses, but nothing's actually attached to them |
| 22:30.03 | warfaren | i see. |
| 22:30.04 | kerio | so it's no use going from there |
| 22:30.18 | warfaren | okay. what about the flashing mode you get by holding U? |
| 22:30.20 | kerio | oh well, time for rescueOS |
| 22:30.26 | kerio | warfaren: won't let you access, only write - afaik |
| 22:30.28 | kerio | ~rescueos |
| 22:30.29 | infobot | it has been said that rescue-os is http://206.253.166.96/N900/rescueOS/ |
| 22:30.41 | kerio | you need a working flasher-3.5 |
| 22:30.55 | warfaren | what's that? hardware or a program? |
| 22:31.10 | Estel_ | warfaren, while I understand urge to have shell that you're used to, isn't it better to use busybox-power? ash/bash compliance on scripts you may want to use/share is PITA |
| 22:31.20 | kerio | the flashing program from nokia |
| 22:31.32 | kerio | Estel_: busybox-power's sh is still a piece of crap for interactive usage |
| 22:31.49 | warfaren | Estel_: you're probably right. i just got the phone (used) and wanted to see if i could make it my default shell that way.. heh... |
| 22:31.53 | kerio | warfaren: http://tablets-dev.nokia.com/nokia_N900.php |
| 22:31.54 | warfaren | really just been messing around |
| 22:31.57 | Estel_ | OTOH, haven't seen any thing that bash is capable of, that couldn't be done using busybox-power and it's toolset |
| 22:32.01 | kerio | warfaren: oh, hold on |
| 22:32.12 | ShadowJK | it's easier to just type "bash" :P |
| 22:32.13 | kerio | will you lose data if you reflash? |
| 22:32.18 | kerio | ShadowJK: it's much easier to chsh |
| 22:32.22 | kerio | and not have to do anything |
| 22:32.24 | ShadowJK | zsh |
| 22:32.27 | Estel_ | warfaren, DocScrutinizer05 posted guide "somewhere" for bash lovers to make it default shell without putting it as boottime one... |
| 22:32.38 | Estel_ | still, isn't worth the effort, IMO |
| 22:32.43 | kerio | but it can be set as the default shell :( |
| 22:32.45 | warfaren | yeah i can live without it really |
| 22:32.46 | kerio | for both user and root |
| 22:32.48 | warfaren | okay |
| 22:32.55 | kerio | warfaren: you said you got the phone used, right? |
| 22:32.58 | kerio | when? |
| 22:33.03 | kerio | and did you reflash? |
| 22:33.04 | warfaren | yep.. a few days ago |
| 22:33.17 | kerio | do you have data that you don't want to lose at the moment on it? |
| 22:33.29 | warfaren | nope not yet just wanted to try it out for a few days before i put any work into it |
| 22:33.37 | warfaren | in case it had any hardware defects so i could return it |
| 22:33.55 | kerio | warfaren: well then it's easy |
| 22:33.59 | kerio | just reflash to the factory conditions :) |
| 22:34.12 | warfaren | so yeah well if i could mount /home/user/MyDocs and grab stuff off of there before reflashing it would be nice |
| 22:34.16 | kerio | oh so you do have data there |
| 22:34.18 | warfaren | but i assume it might not let me mount that very easily? |
| 22:34.20 | warfaren | just a little |
| 22:34.27 | warfaren | worst case i'll forget about it |
| 22:34.38 | kerio | nah, it's still possible - and via usb mass storage, too |
| 22:34.45 | *** join/#maemo tank-man (1000@S010600121729c6a1.vc.shawcable.net) |
| 22:34.46 | warfaren | alright |
| 22:34.47 | kerio | first you need to install flasher-3.5 |
| 22:34.54 | kerio | http://tablets-dev.nokia.com/nokia_N900.php |
| 22:35.02 | warfaren | okay thanks ill look into it |
| 22:35.12 | warfaren | im on ubuntu 10.04 btw |
| 22:35.45 | kerio | blacklist cdc_phonet too |
| 22:36.41 | warfaren | okay. lsmod tells me that is currently loaded |
| 22:37.14 | kerio | add "blacklist cdc_phonet" in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf |
| 22:37.20 | warfaren | so i modprobe -r it first? so i dont have to reboot? |
| 22:37.27 | kerio | also unload it, yes |
| 22:37.30 | warfaren | ok |
| 22:38.00 | kerio | then install flasher-3.5 |
| 22:38.34 | warfaren | maemo_flasher-3.5_2.5.2.2_i386.deb i assume? |
| 22:39.23 | kerio | that's correct, yes |
| 22:39.37 | kerio | i hope you can run x86 binaries |
| 22:39.54 | warfaren | yep i'm on an x86 32 bit install |
| 22:40.01 | Estel_ | ShadowJK, as I haven't done it before - while searching for drivers, I should use vendor ID, productID, or both? |
| 22:40.22 | warfaren | alright flasher-3.5 installed |
| 22:40.38 | Estel_ | as for "haven't done it before" I mean recomopiling random drivers for kernel-power with modded ID + requesting inclusion in kernel-power :P |
| 22:41.22 | Estel_ | or the important bit is combined ID, aka fe6_9700 in my case? |
| 22:42.11 | ShadowJK | both |
| 22:42.23 | kerio | warfaren: how much do you care about the stuff in MyDocs? |
| 22:42.37 | ShadowJK | i just copypasted the idvendor and ifproduct from your paste into google |
| 22:42.38 | warfaren | enough to give it a try if it doesn't take too long |
| 22:42.58 | kerio | warfaren: http://206.253.166.96/N900/rescueOS/ |
| 22:43.00 | Estel_ | nods |
| 22:43.07 | kerio | download 2.6.37 and rescueOS-initrd-0.5.4.img |
| 22:43.37 | kerio | make sure your N900 is turned off |
| 22:44.01 | warfaren | yep. also i think this is good to do for future reference. in case i mess it up again and have some really important stuff on there that time |
| 22:44.04 | kerio | then run flasher-3.5 -k 2.6.37 -n initrd.img -l -b"rootdelay root=/dev/ram0" |
| 22:44.06 | kerio | on your box, as root |
| 22:44.14 | warfaren | right |
| 22:44.28 | warfaren | connect USB yet? |
| 22:44.30 | kerio | where initrd.img is the .img you just downloaded |
| 22:44.32 | kerio | no, not yet |
| 22:44.34 | warfaren | ok |
| 22:44.41 | kerio | flasher-3.5 will tell you "suitable device not found, waiting" |
| 22:44.42 | BCMM | I have two n900s here. both run the latest CSSU testing and they have identical sources.lists. one of them can't install fbreader because it can't find libfribidi0. there are not even any results for apt-cache search libfribidi0. what is going on here? |
| 22:44.52 | kerio | then you hold U, and attach the usb cable |
| 22:44.59 | kerio | (hold U on the n900 keyboard) |
| 22:45.08 | warfaren | yeah |
| 22:45.20 | kerio | it should load it up |
| 22:45.28 | warfaren | sweet |
| 22:45.33 | kerio | it'll ask you some things regarding networking, say no - you don't care about that |
| 22:45.54 | warfaren | that's so cool. so i just streamed the kernel over USB? like PXE booting? :P |
| 22:46.03 | kerio | you'll want to run /rescueOS/mass-storage-enable.sh |
| 22:46.31 | kerio | for reference, if your n900 doesn't have an english keyboard: "/" is fn+v |
| 22:46.50 | warfaren | actually i have a swedish one and that's what it really is |
| 22:46.52 | kerio | (only in rescueOS - the proper maemo install will of course follow the printed layout) |
| 22:47.03 | kerio | well, that's convenient :) |
| 22:47.07 | warfaren | yup! |
| 22:47.11 | kerio | to TAB for completion, use ctrl+i |
| 22:47.21 | warfaren | was just about to ask yer :D |
| 22:47.21 | kerio | (it also works on most terminals everywhere on linux!) |
| 22:47.24 | warfaren | mind reader :D |
| 22:47.35 | warfaren | nicee thanks i didn't know that one |
| 22:47.36 | kerio | once you've enabled usb mass storage you should get two partitions exported |
| 22:47.47 | kerio | you can access them on your computer as you please |
| 22:48.12 | warfaren | hm that shellscript gave me some errors |
| 22:48.15 | kerio | once you're done copying your data, and this is something that i should've told you before, start downloading the latest release of the flashable images |
| 22:48.18 | kerio | oh, that's not good |
| 22:48.22 | kerio | which errors? |
| 22:48.36 | warfaren | g_file_storage gadget: No serial-number string provided! |
| 22:48.44 | kerio | meh, probably harmless |
| 22:48.54 | kerio | do you see the partitions on your ubuntu box? |
| 22:49.01 | warfaren | g_file_storage gadget-lun0: unable to open backing file: /dev/mmcblk1p2 |
| 22:49.02 | warfaren | and |
| 22:49.14 | kerio | hrmpf :s |
| 22:49.30 | warfaren | modprobe: 'kernel/drivers/usb/gadget/g_file_storage.ko': unknown symbol in module or invalid parameter |
| 22:49.39 | warfaren | ill check if the devices appeared |
| 22:49.44 | kerio | you don't have an SD inserted, do you? |
| 22:49.47 | warfaren | nope |
| 22:49.57 | warfaren | and no i only have sda know which is my hdd |
| 22:50.08 | kerio | NIN101: bugfix pls |
| 22:50.25 | kerio | warfaren: ugly fix: ln -s /dev/mmcblk0p1 /dev/mmcblk1p1 |
| 22:50.36 | kerio | ln -s /dev/mmcblk0p2 /dev/mmcblk1p2 |
| 22:50.41 | kerio | actually no, the other way around |
| 22:50.44 | kerio | you know what i mean |
| 22:50.45 | BCMM | any idea what could cause an n900s to not be able to find a package that an n900 with an identical sources.list can find? |
| 22:50.49 | kerio | no wait, it's right |
| 22:50.59 | kerio | BCMM: are you using apt-get or HAM? |
| 22:51.39 | kerio | warfaren: the issue is that the internal memory is mmcblk0 if there's no SD, and mmcblk1 if there is |
| 22:51.48 | warfaren | i see |
| 22:51.50 | BCMM | kerio: either |
| 22:51.51 | kerio | sorry for making you type all this stuff :( |
| 22:52.05 | warfaren | no worries im just very happy to get help! :D |
| 22:52.15 | warfaren | now i got the same error again but about mmcblk1p1 this time |
| 22:52.16 | BCMM | kerio: i can't install fbreader on one of them because it depends on libzlibrary which depends on libfribidi0 which can't be found |
| 22:52.45 | warfaren | i only ran the second thing you wrote. thought the first was a mistype? |
| 22:52.50 | warfaren | or was i supposed to do both? |
| 22:52.51 | kerio | warfaren: no, both |
| 22:52.53 | warfaren | right |
| 22:53.01 | kerio | you need to make the mmcblk1p1 and mmcblk1p2 devices appear somehow :) |
| 22:53.08 | BCMM | kerio: same in ham or apt-get. apt-cache search libfribidi0 has no results on the one with the problem. seems that libfribidi0 was in pr1.2 so should pretty much just be available right? |
| 22:53.21 | warfaren | yup that did it :D mounted them too! |
| 22:53.23 | kerio | BCMM: indeed, i have it in some nokia repos |
| 22:53.26 | kerio | warfaren: phew |
| 22:53.49 | kerio | ok, copy off your data and then do whatever with the n900, we're going to reflash it completely now |
| 22:54.03 | warfaren | is it read only? |
| 22:54.04 | kerio | which is something that should be done, on a used device |
| 22:54.10 | warfaren | i'd kinda like to try and rename .profile |
| 22:54.14 | warfaren | just to see if that helps? |
| 22:54.26 | kerio | warfaren: it should be rw, and it would probably fix your issue |
| 22:54.31 | warfaren | i see |
| 22:54.34 | kerio | but really, if it's a second-hand device you really want to reflash it |
| 22:54.45 | warfaren | i just wanna know for sure so that i don't run into the same thing again you know? |
| 22:54.50 | BCMM | kerio: just checked with teh working n900 and apt-get reinstall; i can still download it. i might just copy the .deb to the other phone but it feels like there is an underlying problem here... |
| 22:54.59 | warfaren | i dont mind hitting page up a few times and following your steps again :) |
| 22:55.09 | BCMM | how can i find out which exact repo i installed a package from? |
| 22:55.20 | kerio | warfaren: i'm confident that it would fix it |
| 22:55.26 | warfaren | alright |
| 22:55.27 | warfaren | if you say so |
| 22:55.32 | kerio | and i'm confident that you shouldn't run programs that don't quit in your .profile |
| 22:55.41 | warfaren | okay :P |
| 22:56.13 | kerio | now, as i was saying |
| 22:56.29 | warfaren | i really wanna try though because i've been messing around with a lot of other stuff and haven't rebooted for 23 hours |
| 22:56.34 | kerio | download http://tablets-dev.nokia.com/nokia_N900.php?f=RX-51_2009SE_20.2010.36-2_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin and http://tablets-dev.nokia.com/nokia_N900.php?f=RX-51_2009SE_10.2010.13-2.VANILLA_PR_EMMC_MR0_ARM.bin |
| 22:56.41 | warfaren | but yeah i should certainly do a full reflash after that |
| 22:56.44 | warfaren | i was planning on it anyways |
| 22:56.47 | kerio | then do it |
| 22:56.50 | warfaren | okay |
| 22:56.59 | kerio | move or change .profile, umount everything, reboot from the n900 |
| 22:57.04 | kerio | (unplug the usb cable too) |
| 22:57.23 | warfaren | okay halt or just hold power button? |
| 22:57.32 | kerio | type halt |
| 22:57.35 | warfaren | ok |
| 22:57.44 | kerio | i'm not sure that the power button does anything, in rescueOS |
| 22:57.55 | warfaren | i see |
| 22:58.36 | warfaren | yup that did it alright |
| 22:58.43 | warfaren | no more infinite loading dots |
| 22:59.37 | warfaren | hm why does it go into first time setup though? because of power loss when i removed battery? |
| 22:59.53 | kerio | yeah, that's one of the common problems of the n900 |
| 23:00.03 | kerio | the battery that holds the clock is awful, and fails after a year or so |
| 23:00.21 | warfaren | okay. so yeah now that the phone is booted normally should i just backup my data from here instead or do you recommend me going back into rescueos? |
| 23:00.25 | warfaren | i see |
| 23:00.30 | kerio | just backup your data normally i guess |
| 23:00.42 | NIN101 | kerio: seems again some of those mmcblkX issues |
| 23:00.44 | kerio | in the meantime, download those two images |
| 23:00.44 | Estel_ | kerio, it's not about battery quality |
| 23:00.47 | NIN101 | when sd card is inserte dor not |
| 23:00.54 | kerio | NIN101: it's not an issue, it's known behaviour |
| 23:01.00 | NIN101 | yeah. |
| 23:01.01 | kerio | weird behaviour, admittedly |
| 23:01.02 | Estel_ | it was bug in stock kernel- as result, goldcap was never recharged |
| 23:01.09 | kerio | Estel_: really? :o |
| 23:01.15 | warfaren | okay, i never really plugged the usb cable in before. will it let me access to the entire root filesystem like in rescueos? or just MyDocs? |
| 23:01.17 | kerio | so i can expect mine to keep working? |
| 23:01.22 | Estel_ | that why most of them die after a year or so |
| 23:01.29 | kerio | warfaren: just MyDocs, if you enable the usb mass storage mode |
| 23:01.31 | Estel_ | well, kernel-power (latest or so) fixes it |
| 23:01.40 | kerio | Estel_: and of course they can't be charged once they die |
| 23:01.44 | Estel_ | but obviously it won't revive dead goldcaps |
| 23:01.49 | Estel_ | yea ;) |
| 23:01.50 | warfaren | okay |
| 23:01.51 | kerio | so i can expect mine to last, neat |
| 23:01.58 | warfaren | well ill let you know when i'm done backing stuff up |
| 23:02.00 | kerio | warfaren: other common issues: microusb port failing |
| 23:02.10 | kerio | so treat it gently |
| 23:02.13 | warfaren | oh yeah i've read about that on wikipedia |
| 23:02.16 | Estel_ | well, probably yes, although it could lose most of it's capacity, in pre-fix times, even if it's alive |
| 23:02.39 | Estel_ | warfaren, instead of acknowleding usb problem, just solder it down as per dr_frost_dk's thread |
| 23:02.43 | kerio | and the cellmo could have some solder issues and it could eventually stop working |
| 23:02.44 | warfaren | my N8's micro usb is all loose and this phone is from the same era so i expect it to be of the same quality |
| 23:03.00 | kerio | warfaren: if you can find your way around a soldering iron, solder it down |
| 23:03.08 | warfaren | Estel_: got a link for that? i'd like to bookmark it. and solder my N8's port if it's similar |
| 23:03.12 | kerio | ~usb-fix |
| 23:03.12 | infobot | well, usbfix is http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=75920 - and **NEVER** use epoxy (unless you want to seal your device for underwater) |
| 23:03.13 | NIN101 | kerio: so as far as I remember, mmcblk0 = sd card on other systems than maemo because on maemo some udev script is in place. but if sd card is not present, then emmc is mmcblk0, correct? |
| 23:03.15 | Estel_ | warfaren, microUSB problem - in every device - is that it's SMD |
| 23:03.24 | warfaren | i see |
| 23:03.30 | kerio | NIN101: yep |
| 23:03.45 | kerio | they fucked that up good and proper |
| 23:03.50 | Estel_ | microusb can have more mating cycles, but it's all for nothing, as they have switched to smd for microUSB since miniUSB |
| 23:03.51 | ShadowJK | Estel_; i thought it was eventually discovered that Nolo sets up the charge of backupbat |
| 23:04.19 | Estel_ | ShadowJK, hm? I'm not aware of that, last time I checked it was considered soft bug? |
| 23:04.29 | Estel_ | I might have missed some new "discoveries" |
| 23:04.30 | NIN101 | ok so because I have my sd card always inserted I never stumbled upon this problem. Also because rescueOS was originally an sd card only system, then the initrd appeared :S |
| 23:04.34 | kerio | hm, i remember something like that, yes |
| 23:04.57 | ShadowJK | I think N800 miniusb was smd too, but you dont use it for charging.. |
| 23:05.15 | ShadowJK | Also, I've seen current era Lumias with broken usb ports :) |
| 23:05.22 | Estel_ | :) |
| 23:05.27 | ShadowJK | so the problem is for sure not yetfixed |
| 23:05.30 | kerio | warfaren: have you put a sim card in yet? |
| 23:05.37 | kerio | if you haven't, don't |
| 23:05.39 | warfaren | btw is the micro usb port the only charging port on the N900? i know nokia has this super tiny round hole for charging on some devices. i just wonder if i didnt find it or if it doesn't have it? |
| 23:05.43 | warfaren | ah no i haven't |
| 23:05.45 | warfaren | don't plan on either |
| 23:05.53 | Estel_ | my latest idea - checking, if closest part of PCB under N900's microUSB doesn't contain inside-paths... |
| 23:05.53 | kerio | reflash, then don't put your sim in until you remove the "cherry" package |
| 23:05.54 | ShadowJK | It only has microusb port |
| 23:05.55 | kerio | oh, really? :o |
| 23:06.02 | Estel_ | drilling it with 0.5 mm drill |
| 23:06.09 | kerio | then i guess that the possible modem problem won't be a problem for you |
| 23:06.20 | warfaren | yeah i have a few other phones already that i am kinda attached to |
| 23:06.27 | warfaren | i just want this phone as a mini computer really |
| 23:06.28 | warfaren | with wifi |
| 23:06.34 | kerio | warfaren: suit yourself - it's not that good of a phone anyway |
| 23:06.37 | Estel_ | and mounting microUSB with solder-through, soldering it to ground plane on other side |
| 23:06.39 | warfaren | alright |
| 23:06.42 | kerio | mobile data is useful though |
| 23:06.45 | warfaren | yeahh |
| 23:06.47 | kerio | and you should still remove the "cherry" package |
| 23:06.53 | warfaren | okay, what does it do? |

| 23:07.05 | Estel_ | can't agree, with correct software, mobile computer called N900;) becomes best phone suite too |
| 23:07.07 | kerio | it's some nokia sms subscription service bullshit |
| 23:07.23 | warfaren | i see |
| 23:07.32 | kerio | it will eventually send an international sms to nokia |
| 23:07.45 | kerio | removing the "cherry" package prevents that |
| 23:07.46 | warfaren | i have the N9 too |
| 23:07.47 | Estel_ | only once per reflash, but still it's shit |
| 23:07.58 | warfaren | but i really wanted the keyboard.. hehe.. and N950's are too hard to get |
| 23:08.13 | Estel_ | warfaren, belive me, N950 are not that great |
| 23:08.23 | warfaren | okay |
| 23:08.24 | Estel_ | not usb hostmode, no microSD... |
| 23:08.33 | warfaren | oh yeah.. |
| 23:08.37 | Estel_ | crappy capacity screen, no FM transmitter... |
| 23:08.46 | Estel_ | freakin' irritating system |
| 23:08.47 | kerio | Estel_: does the N9 have a fmtx? |
| 23:08.59 | warfaren | yeah i'm really impressed with the hardware of the N900. so much more modular than the N9 |
| 23:09.02 | Estel_ | kerio, sure, but it is surface mounted and not connected to antenna :P |
| 23:09.08 | kerio | yeah, fremantle is much better than harmattan |
| 23:09.10 | Estel_ | i.e. leg of fm chip for transmitting |
| 23:09.11 | kerio | Estel_: what? :s |
| 23:09.13 | jaska | no microsd on 950? o.O didnt know |
| 23:09.15 | kerio | hahaha nice |
| 23:09.16 | Estel_ | isn't connected to antenna |
| 23:09.19 | kerio | so it's even worse than the n900? |
| 23:09.20 | warfaren | kinda like the N8 but with an inferior camera :P |
| 23:09.21 | Estel_ | jaska, yea |
| 23:09.32 | Estel_ | kerio - no much chances for fixing fmtx |
| 23:09.40 | warfaren | kerio: yeah i've already noticed that. i like harmattan but fremantle is just wow |
| 23:09.43 | Estel_ | i.e. as easy as increasing ram on N900 :P |
| 23:09.56 | warfaren | i even started googling for if you could install it on the N9 :P |
| 23:10.00 | kerio | Estel_: don't go there :( |
| 23:10.12 | kerio | warfaren: are you downloading VANILLA.bin and COMBINED.bin in the meantime? |
| 23:10.23 | Estel_ | warfaren, there is Mer and Nemo, that you can install on N9/50, but hardware adaptation isn't full and probably wont be |
| 23:10.27 | ShadowJK | suspects usb ports will break even if they were throughhole |
| 23:10.41 | ShadowJK | since usb ports are fundamentally shit |
| 23:10.42 | warfaren | kerio: yeah they finished up some time ago |
| 23:10.42 | kerio | Estel_: and besides, they're still annoying :) |
| 23:10.53 | Estel_ | ShadowJK, why? most of the time, they break due to side-moves |
| 23:11.29 | Estel_ | well, there was a Cordia project (hildon-like UI for Mer), but it's never going to be complete, belive me ;) |
| 23:11.38 | ShadowJK | I mean, I've broken 2 usb ports on my *PC*, and those ports were bolted to aluminium frame |
| 23:11.48 | Estel_ | maybe lipstick/Nemo will allow to mimic hildon feats, but... |
| 23:11.51 | Estel_ | ShadowJK, lol |
| 23:12.04 | Estel_ | I have never, ever, seen regular size USB port becoming broken |
| 23:12.13 | Estel_ | seriously |
| 23:12.30 | Estel_ | I mean regular way, that doesn't include kicking machine in rage by someone |
| 23:12.32 | Estel_ | hammering |
| 23:12.36 | Estel_ | throwing from window etc |
| 23:13.10 | Estel_ | well, I lied a little - I have seen one spring inside big USB port breaking, for no reason. Fixed it easily. |

| 23:14.19 | kerio | before clicking the link |
| 23:14.25 | ShadowJK | :) |
| 23:14.28 | kerio | it's weird, i thought it only worked with xkcd |
| 23:14.43 | Estel_ | well, call me insane, but I *always* check big USB plug alligment before plugging |

| 23:15.08 | ShadowJK | Need to get an endoscope :) |
| 23:15.23 | ShadowJK | they seem hard to figure out with just touch |
| 23:15.26 | warfaren | oh btw, i love how RescueOS actually shows me some real text when it's booting. is that easy to do on the regular OS aswell instead of the loading dots? |
| 23:15.35 | kerio | warfaren: eeeh, kinda |
| 23:15.38 | ShadowJK | though for musb you can feel for the two hooks |
| 23:15.39 | Estel_ | : ) and I always remember how they're alligned on back of old PC's |
| 23:15.48 | Estel_ | warfaren, sure |
| 23:15.55 | Estel_ | kernel-power + fbcon |
| 23:16.05 | warfaren | okay cool. would like to look into it later if i have the time |
| 23:16.08 | kerio | Estel_: not quite, you also need a different cmdline |
| 23:16.13 | warfaren | fbcon = frame buffer console? |
| 23:16.16 | Estel_ | yea |
| 23:16.18 | kerio | yep |
| 23:16.23 | Estel_ | kerio, hm? |
| 23:16.41 | warfaren | what does kernel-power do btw? is it kinda like inception for harmattan? |
| 23:16.42 | kerio | you need to delete the progress dots, modprobe fbcon early, and set up the console on the appropriate tty |
| 23:16.47 | Estel_ | warfaren, no |
| 23:16.53 | kerio | warfaren: nah, it's just a different kernel with a lot more capabilities |
| 23:16.56 | warfaren | i see |
| 23:17.02 | Estel_ | it's bugfixes from mainstream + backports from higher kernel versions |
| 23:17.07 | warfaren | nice |
| 23:17.09 | Estel_ | + fixing maemo's kernel specific bugs |
| 23:17.13 | Estel_ | = must have |
| 23:17.14 | warfaren | ah |
| 23:17.31 | kerio | fixes a couple hardware things, adds overclocking capabilities (to never use), and adds neat stuff like iptables |
| 23:17.43 | warfaren | i heard it breaks qtirreco though? |
| 23:17.46 | kerio | or bridge support |
| 23:17.53 | kerio | warfaren: pierogi is better |
| 23:18.00 | warfaren | okay cool :) |
| 23:18.07 | kerio | besides, i don't think it does |
| 23:18.13 | Estel_ | not to mention enabling thumb (if mixed with cssu-thumb), that is closest thing to RAM upgrade you will ever get... Until I becolme rich, buy infra-red industrial class soldering station, hunt down matching SoC with more RAM, and solder it |
| 23:18.23 | warfaren | i couldn't get qtirreco to work personally anyway. even without kernel-power |
| 23:18.27 | Estel_ | warfaren, qtirreco is EOL |
| 23:18.31 | warfaren | i was beggining to think my IR hardware was broken |
| 23:18.33 | Estel_ | no one works on it for ages |
| 23:18.35 | warfaren | ok |
| 23:18.43 | Estel_ | it just doesn't work ;) |
| 23:18.43 | kerio | warfaren: hm, i don't think that's a common problem |

| 23:26.39 | kerio | yeah but you should reflash |
| 23:26.46 | Estel_ | kerio, linking to wiki with flashing article isn't easier? He isn't noob. Of course if wiki works, at all |
| 23:26.46 | warfaren | yeahh will definately do so |
| 23:27.00 | kerio | Estel_: the steps after flashing are crucial, too |
| 23:27.07 | kerio | for instance, he might risk installing rootsh |
| 23:27.09 | Estel_ | kerio, like what? |
| 23:27.11 | kerio | instead of doing the right thing |
| 23:27.14 | warfaren | it's really slow anyway. installing apps from the appstore makes it sit at a screen doing nothing for 2 minutes before starting to install. that isn't normal is it? |
| 23:27.17 | teotwaki | DocScrutinizer05: is that the one that runs on maemo-archive? |
| 23:27.23 | kerio | warfaren: HAM is a piece of crap |
| 23:27.28 | warfaren | i assume it could have to do with the previous owner having a lot of repositories or something |
| 23:27.29 | kerio | (Application Manager) |
| 23:27.31 | warfaren | okay |
| 23:27.32 | Estel_ | warfaren, sadly, hildon application manager is always, always slow |
| 23:27.36 | warfaren | i see |
| 23:27.43 | kerio | warfaren: and sadly, |
| 23:27.44 | Estel_ | but we have apt-get or fapman |
| 23:27.44 | kerio | ~fapman |
| 23:27.44 | infobot | from memory, fapman is Faster Application Manager, a bad package manager that causes problems, don't use it, ever |
| 23:27.52 | kerio | ^ true story |
| 23:27.53 | Estel_ | what a factoid |
| 23:27.54 | kerio | so use apt-get |
| 23:28.01 | warfaren | i have been using apt-get as often as i could since i realised its slowness |
| 23:28.02 | DocScrutinizer05 | that is what our volunteers did on a dedicated server we hired for backup |
| 23:28.15 | warfaren | at first i thought it wasn't working at all. heh |
| 23:28.23 | Estel_ | well, warfaren, don't want to start a little argue, but I'm using fapman since beginning of times, without any problems, ever |
| 23:28.32 | DocScrutinizer05 | teotwaki: nfc what's maemo-archive |
| 23:28.39 | kerio | Estel_: except that the pre/post scripts are run in a different way |
| 23:28.40 | Estel_ | even for things depreciated by others, like cssu upgrades or first-time installations |
| 23:28.41 | warfaren | okay i will totally check it out when i'm done |
| 23:28.41 | teotwaki | DocScrutinizer05: it's my server, maemo-archive.wedrop.it |
| 23:28.44 | kerio | and a lot of them don't work |
| 23:28.51 | kerio | like the various flashers |
| 23:28.54 | ShadowJK | some things are a bad idea to use fapman/apt-get with |
| 23:29.26 | Estel_ | ShadowJK, true, and out of curiosity, I'm always re-testing things like cssu upgrades on other device, via ham |
| 23:29.53 | Estel_ | I have yet to see any things broken by fapman, though. Curikous to test, if you have examples what reproducibly fails |
| 23:29.55 | kerio | warfaren: to get root access, install openssh from the repos (it'll make you set a root password), then login as root by sshing localhost and set up your own sudoers file |
| 23:30.13 | Estel_ | kerio, or install rootsh, or sudser, if you want passwords ;) |

| 23:30.30 | Estel_ | sure, still, everyone uses it and won't complain. |
| 23:30.37 | kerio | doesn't have it installed) |
| 23:30.43 | warfaren | i assume i want to disable root login in /etc/ssh/sshd_config after that? |
| 23:30.49 | kerio | warfaren: security on fremantle is a joke |
| 23:30.54 | warfaren | okay :P |
| 23:30.55 | kerio | there's no /etc/shadow support, for instance |
| 23:30.59 | kerio | ...so yeah |
| 23:31.05 | warfaren | ouch |
| 23:31.21 | Estel_ | security on fremantle = truecrypt + 5 minutes autolock + smscon |
| 23:31.33 | Estel_ | smscon needs to be thoroughly configured |
| 23:31.42 | kerio | smscon isn't that kind of security, though |
| 23:31.45 | kerio | is it? |
| 23:31.57 | Estel_ | then, even if someone *would* want to steal your nude photos, its futile |
| 23:32.10 | Estel_ | kerio, it is in addition to auto-mount partitions of truecrypt |
| 23:32.21 | Estel_ | i.e. things that you mount on boot time |
| 23:32.43 | Estel_ | (aka lowest risk things, like addressbook, mails, or notes, or photos, or videos, or...) |
| 23:33.27 | Estel_ | if you have area51 data, you should mount it manually, for sure, but in other cases, auto-mounting on boogt time (with providing password and keyfiles on boottime by user) is more conveinent idea |
| 23:33.36 | kerio | if you have area51 data, send plz |
| 23:33.43 | Estel_ | and still, to get around lock code, one need to reboot device at least once |
| 23:34.01 | Estel_ | which unmount partition, even if it was mount at boot time. |
| 23:34.30 | Estel_ | belive or not, N900 is most secure device in terms of protecting data, if you configure it properly (comparable to real linux notebooks) |
| 23:34.34 | kerio | Estel_: i think he was talking more about the system security |
| 23:34.56 | Estel_ | well, if you feel it fancy, you can encrypt home :P |
| 23:34.59 | warfaren | heheh |
| 23:35.07 | kerio | meh, i'm actually going to sleep, you guys finish this |
| 23:35.14 | warfaren | alright |
| 23:35.17 | warfaren | thanks again for your help! |
| 23:35.20 | kerio | ~flashing |
| 23:35.20 | infobot | [maemo-flashing] http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_tablet_firmware |
| 23:35.26 | kerio | follow that, too |
| 23:35.29 | warfaren | will do! |
| 23:35.31 | Estel_ | cryptfs etc... still, You don't wanna flash combined, with home encrypted. Funny thiong to do. |
| 23:35.50 | kerio | then delete cherry, get root access, install some flavour of cssu |
| 23:36.05 | kerio | possibly testing, if you're ok with some quirkyness |
| 23:36.12 | warfaren | alright |
| 23:36.33 | Estel_ | well, I would rather say reflash -> install kernel-power and cssu-thumb->install ssh -> install hostmode ;) |
| 23:36.34 | kerio | i wouldn't necessarily install cssu-thumb right now, it's slightly quirkier than cssu testing |
| 23:36.41 | Estel_ | anyone have own favorites, heh |
| 23:36.44 | Estel_ | everyone* |
| 23:36.53 | kerio | Estel_: that's what i'd do, but he got a n900 two days ago |
| 23:37.10 | kerio | give him a bit of time to familiarize himself with the system at least :) |
| 23:37.13 | Estel_ | frankly, I wouldn't recommend cssu stable to anyone |
| 23:37.31 | kerio | Estel_: cssu stable is for normal users |
| 23:37.45 | *** join/#maemo kolp (~quassel@212.255.39.31) |
| 23:37.46 | Estel_ | old jerk rule - cssu-testing = stable, cssu-stable = oldstable, cssu-thumb = stable+devel thumb bits |
| 23:37.56 | kerio | in fact, it's recommended, as a "bugfix version" of pr 1.3 |
| 23:38.09 | Estel_ | kerio, cssu stable is severely outdated, too :/ |
| 23:38.10 | kerio | it should be indistinguishable, in fact |
| 23:38.32 | kerio | Estel_: **the same as stock but with less bugs** |
| 23:38.47 | kerio | it's like the whole point |
| 23:38.51 | warfaren | ok well i'm ready to flash |
| 23:39.06 | Estel_ | well, not in mood for any argues anyway, but "less bugs" may be not really approriate for stable. Funny enough, testing seems to be more mature in terms of being bugless. |
| 23:39.22 | Estel_ | anyway, he is grown up, and will install any shit he want ;) |
| 23:39.35 | Estel_ | waves |
| 23:40.15 | warfaren | haha |
| 23:41.11 | kerio | ...this went better than i thought |
| 23:41.57 | kerio | warfaren: flash COMBINED without (re)booting, flash VANILLA, boot |
| 23:42.00 | kerio | and be happy |
| 23:42.28 | warfaren | i see. i'm about to read the page you linked though |
| 23:43.24 | kerio | going to sleep, ask here if you need any help, they're mostly good people |
| 23:44.16 | warfaren | :) sleep tight |
