| 01:52.35 | user | are you friggin kidding me |
| 01:52.55 | user | just started up phone |
| 01:53.12 | user | got some issues with some custom made scripts not working |
| 01:53.16 | user | the reason? |
| 01:53.43 | user | ls: cannot access fixdate: Stale NFS file handle |
| 01:53.48 | user | perfect |
| 01:54.19 | user | oh and |
| 01:54.24 | robbiethe1st | stale nfs file handle, at least on mine, means filesystem corruption |
| 01:54.41 | FIQ|n900 | yes I know |
| 01:54.46 | FIQ|n900 | the thing is |
| 01:54.53 | *** join/#maemo FIQ|n900 (~user@unaffiliated/fiq) |
| 01:55.12 | FIQ|n900 | I already recovered the file system from an issue like this |
| 01:55.22 | FIQ|n900 | last week |
| 01:56.04 | robbiethe1st | It seems that whenever my N900 crashes, the optfs goes wonky |
| 01:56.06 | FIQ|n900 | will reboot and attempt to solve this with BM *again* |
| 01:56.27 | FIQ|n900 | hopefully it doesn't ruin the fs this time |
| 01:56.44 | robbiethe1st | Any damage is already done at this point |
| 01:57.01 | FIQ|n900 | what do you mean? |
| 01:57.35 | FIQ|n900 | also |
| 01:57.48 | robbiethe1st | The fact that it said 'stale nfs handle' means that that file is, more or less, gone |
| 01:57.48 | FIQ|n900 | this time it was definitely not caused by a hard reboot |
| 01:57.56 | FIQ|n900 | it might have been last time |
| 01:58.06 | robbiethe1st | fdisk can probably fix the rest, but you probably won't get the file back |
| 01:58.07 | FIQ|n900 | oh but I have a backup of that file |
| 01:58.13 | robbiethe1st | Yeah, that's the only way |
| 01:58.17 | FIQ|n900 | my problem is mainly actually solving it with fsck |
| 01:58.26 | FIQ|n900 | last time I fsck-ed optfs |
| 01:58.35 | FIQ|n900 | it destroyed the file system somehow |
| 01:58.41 | robbiethe1st | Yeah, happens to me too |
| 01:58.47 | robbiethe1st | Best thing is to back it up, then restore |
| 01:58.54 | FIQ|n900 | and e2fs claimed I was being a bonehead for having it mounted (it wasn't) |
| 01:59.01 | robbiethe1st | part of the restore is a complete FS wipe/repartition in BM |
| 01:59.47 | FIQ|n900 | you're the author of bm, right? |
| 02:00.09 | robbiethe1st | Yeah |
| 02:00.10 | FIQ|n900 | just curious, will creation of optfs backup actually work on a corrupted file system? |
| 02:00.19 | robbiethe1st | It'll try. |
| 02:00.31 | FIQ|n900 | otherwise I'll have to tar it manually with tar (that worked last time) |
| 02:00.33 | robbiethe1st | If it's mountable, it'll mount and backup whatever files are there |
| 02:00.46 | robbiethe1st | Considering it does exactly that, it should do as well as you can |
| 02:00.54 | FIQ|n900 | mkay |
| 02:00.58 | FIQ|n900 | will backup |
| 02:01.01 | FIQ|n900 | try to fsck |
| 02:01.08 | FIQ|n900 | if fsck fail, restore optfs only |
| 02:01.28 | robbiethe1st | Yeah |
| 02:01.47 | robbiethe1st | Heck, you can restore your old optfs backup, if you haven't installed too many programs since |
| 02:02.05 | FIQ|n900 | hm |
| 02:02.08 | FIQ|n900 | that's true |
| 02:02.27 | FIQ|n900 | but then I have to deal with the application desynchs I had to deal with before |
| 02:02.41 | FIQ|n900 | oh well, at least I know *which* broke now |
| 02:02.51 | FIQ|n900 | instead of discovering them as I go lol |
| 02:02.54 | FIQ|n900 | see you |
| 02:02.58 | robbiethe1st | btw, apt-get install --reinstall helps with that |
| 02:03.05 | FIQ|n900 | yeah I know |
| 02:03.33 | robbiethe1st | k |
| 02:03.35 | FIQ|n900 | did that a lot last optfs restore (didn't restore rootfs because I lacked rootfs for the right kernel) |
| 02:13.17 | DocScrutinizer05 | robbiethe1st: there's a pretty fuzzy naming around BM |
| 02:13.41 | DocScrutinizer05 | optfs is not existing |
| 02:14.10 | DocScrutinizer05 | I suggest to clearly name either the partition or the mountpoint |
| 02:14.35 | robbiethe1st | Uh... huh? |
| 02:15.28 | DocScrutinizer05 | so mmcblk0p2, or /home |
| 02:16.40 | DocScrutinizer05 | optfs is no term you can actually find anywhere in an docs, and it suggests that maybe only /opt is saved which probably(!?) is incorrect |
| 02:17.02 | DocScrutinizer05 | I don't need to explain that /opt is a bindmount |

| 06:49.20 | psycho_oreos | *ahem* as in using other <insert_some_other_phone_phablet_tablet_etc_OS_here>. |
| 06:49.57 | joga | I will, when someone releases a phone that's even half of n900 |
| 06:50.15 | joga | preferably the hw keyboard half |
| 06:50.46 | joga | I own an android tablet and they're such toys in comparison |
| 06:51.23 | psycho_oreos | I think motorola does produce some android phones with qwerty keyboard. Albeit usually old and rare. |
| 06:52.07 | joga | just the hw keyboard is not really enough, it's the bare minimum |
| 06:52.42 | joga | and sadly I don't even trust android enough to do anything serious with it, like using ssh :p |
| 06:54.07 | psycho_oreos | A few of us I guess are thinking of the same thing as well.. to migrate would be something at least half of what maemo was. Inevitably trend won't head that way in the foreseeable future. |
| 06:54.25 | joga | so obvious solution is to use n900 until it breaks |
| 06:54.35 | joga | tries to be very gentle with it ;p |
| 06:54.48 | psycho_oreos | and/or keep more copies of N900 :) |
| 06:55.10 | joga | yeah, wish I had had spare money when some used ones were still available for cheap, would have bought like 5 or something |
| 06:57.24 | psycho_oreos | You might still be able to obtain more, the question lies invariably on availability and/or the quality. These days I hear more and more stories of owners with broken N900 USB ports. |

| 06:59.29 | psycho_oreos | Same here except I don't think that is the only place to be aware of. Just recently I heard an owner of (what is now very much a) dead N800, I guess it will be matter of time too for N900's turn. |

| 10:26.18 | kerio | not installed? |
| 10:26.29 | kerio | it's stored inside debs |
| 10:26.36 | kerio | tough luck |
| 10:27.58 | psycho_oreos | If you know the exact name of the program and where its stored (ideally the full path) you can probably google it up and then try narrowing it down to maemo specific. If lucky you might get it. |
| 10:29.27 | kwtm | kerio: Ok. Thx anyway. Yeah, I'm basically trying to figure out what to install. It's unlikely that I've already installed it, in such circumstances. |
| 10:30.04 | kwtm | psycho_oreos: Thx anyway. I'm going to try looking it up in the Ubuntu search --usually they keep the same package arrangements as the rest of Debian. |
| 10:31.14 | kerio | kwtm: what do you want to install? |

| 10:35.17 | kwtm | kerio: Looking for an image viewer for KDE that doesn't crap out when meta information is corrupted (but the image data itself is fine) |
| 10:35.38 | psycho_oreos | jpinx, not your N900 lol. The retail packaging box (if you still have it). |
| 10:35.49 | kwtm | Oh, look, apparently in addition to "apt-file list", there's "apt-file search" that can find what package a file is in, without the package needing to be installed. |
| 10:36.22 | jon_y | truly, apt is the perfect app manager |
| 10:36.35 | jpinx | kwtm: or dpkg -l | grep <packagepartname> |
| 10:36.36 | jon_y | praise be to debian |
| 10:36.53 | kwtm | jpinx: No, that doesn't work: the package has to be installed first. |
| 10:36.56 | psycho_oreos | jpinx, that's only for installed packages, and its a crude way :) |
| 10:37.33 | jon_y | maybe google <programname> debian for clues |
| 10:37.45 | kwtm | jpinx: Also, it's dpkg -L, not dpkg -l (the latter lists package names, not filenames) |
| 10:38.30 | psycho_oreos | You can make it into a for loop but its one hell of a ugly hack with excess pipes and other tools like awk/sed required. |
| 10:38.31 | kwtm | Hmm, looks like I found the answer. I had heard of "apt-file list" and "apt-cache search" but had not realized there was a "apt-file search" before today. |
| 10:38.45 | kwtm | Thanks, people! :) |

| 16:25.17 | Lava_Croft | Don't you beat me, nerd!!!1 |
| 16:25.28 | Lava_Croft | I cycled today, muscles ache |
| 16:25.46 | Lava_Croft | also it rained, so my carton n900 bicycle case died |

| 16:26.45 | LjL | the N810 might not be as hardware-capable as the N900 but damn does it look sleek |
| 16:27.06 | DocScrutinizer05 | YES! |
| 16:27.54 | LjL | N810 isn't actually mine, it was a present for my sister, but by now my sister has got an Android phone and stopped using the N810, so i reclaimed it :P |
| 16:27.58 | DocScrutinizer05 | and I still think it has the better kbd. Others like to disagree |
| 16:29.12 | DocScrutinizer05 | the N810 key mapping is weird, but the kbd hw feels better to me than the N900's |
| 16:29.21 | LjL | i don't know about that... the keys are more spaced, it "looks" better, it has more of them... but they're SO HARD to press |
| 16:29.42 | LjL | the N950 keyboard looks very nice, but i never had the luxury to see it for real |
| 16:29.44 | Lava_Croft | 5510 had the lovely KB |
| 16:30.01 | LjL | ew, no |
| 16:30.12 | LjL | if we want to talk about lovely keyboards, let's talk Psion |
| 16:30.29 | Lava_Croft | psion, Keyboards with an attached screen! |

| 16:30.39 | DocScrutinizer05 | N950 keyboard is abysmal |
| 16:30.40 | Lava_Croft | yes, those were very nice |
| 16:30.46 | LjL | DocScrutinizer05: oh? |
| 16:31.19 | Lava_Croft | n950 keys look all flat |
| 16:31.20 | DocScrutinizer05 | you basically can't type "blind"(?) on it |
| 16:31.54 | DocScrutinizer05 | the keys are *very* hard to distinguish tactile |

| 16:32.18 | LjL | hmm. weird, in the pictures, they look more spaced than on either the N900 or the N810, so i assumed you could feel the space between them much better |
| 16:32.19 | Lava_Croft | n950 keyboard looks like an apple one |
| 16:32.24 | Lava_Croft | where the keys are just flat |
| 16:32.36 | LjL | on the N900 i basically can't, the only thing that helps is the keys themselves being curved |
| 16:32.37 | LjL | yeah |
| 16:32.41 | DocScrutinizer05 | they ARE just flat |
| 16:32.47 | Lava_Croft | horrible:< |
| 16:32.58 | Lava_Croft | they need to be curved either convex or concave |
| 16:33.05 | Lava_Croft | if those are even the right terms |
| 16:33.07 | LjL | fortunately my Milestone, too, has curved keys - because apparently some versions of it didn't - and i'm pretty sure i couldn't type on it with flat keys |
| 16:33.14 | LjL | Lava_Croft: they should be |
| 16:33.52 | LjL | still, my tactile cue on keyboards like the Psion's is not so much the curvature, but the "edges" of the keys. that's missing on the N900, N810 and Milestone |

| 16:36.12 | DocScrutinizer05 | N950 kbd is the second worst hw qwerty kbd I ever ran into. Absolute winner in that category is eten-M800 which not even has gaps between keys, and they are all black except the tiny writing which isn't at center of keycap |
| 16:37.38 | DocScrutinizer05 | so even when you look at the keyboard you always press some additional keys above and/or left of the one you intended to press |
| 16:38.06 | Lava_Croft | my western european hands work fine with n900 |
| 16:38.07 | DocScrutinizer05 | particularly in the dark |
| 16:38.11 | Lava_Croft | (ie. big hands) |
| 16:38.36 | Lava_Croft | i must admit that it got a bit old to carry around a BT keyboard |
| 16:38.44 | Lava_Croft | and on the train put your phone on the table and get out the keyboard |
| 16:42.40 | LjL | WM phones... i have an HTC Universal, that's not bad, both keyboard-wise and in other ways |
| 16:43.14 | LjL | however (i assume that's common to all WM phones) when you "turn it off", it actually goes into some suspend mode and can't stay connected to TCP/IP... if you actually want it to stay connected, then the battery dies in like 4 hours |
| 16:43.34 | LjL | i guess it's intended to be more of PocketPC + a phone module thing, than an always-on device |

| 23:12.19 | Gh0sty | but hadnt considered the round-trip thingy :) |
| 23:12.22 | DocScrutinizer05 | hmm, traveling in europe is not more expensive than international traveling I'd say |
| 23:12.23 | Gh0sty | that sucks indeed |
| 23:12.29 | SpeedEvil | Prices vary - in the UK you can now get 'all you can eat' data - on your phone - no tethering - for £15/mo. |
| 23:12.30 | Gh0sty | next year they promised a fix for that |
| 23:12.47 | Gh0sty | something like data roaming would be like a rate inside the home country |
| 23:12.48 | psycho_oreos | It would be unwise to stay in one location in Europe.. so many countries in one small spot compared to say.. US. |
| 23:13.26 | DocScrutinizer05 | SpeedEvil: while that's nice if you can use it, it still seems too expensive for - say - 3 or 4 days |
| 23:13.47 | SpeedEvil | True - to an extent. |
| 23:13.51 | DocScrutinizer05 | I happen to know a few details of woody's travel planning |
| 23:14.16 | DocScrutinizer05 | I think he's going to visit at least 3 countries in 2 weeks or sth |
| 23:14.18 | SpeedEvil | But it may be not unreasonable for - say - 4 days being able to use netflix/... without restriction. |
| 23:14.50 | DocScrutinizer05 | odds are he could unpack and straight away bin his local SIMs |
| 23:14.57 | psycho_oreos | Yeah I'd say that would be more economically viable. Its pretty much a waste to visit Europe and stay in one area during that entire time. |
| 23:15.58 | psycho_oreos | I mean if you're forking out the travel arrangements, business visits are an exception of course. |
| 23:16.01 | Gh0sty | yeah i dunno depends if its for vacation or business :P |
| 23:16.21 | Gh0sty | i mean i also go to the US but not for 1 year ... |
| 23:16.27 | Gh0sty | thats not even allowed i think :( |
| 23:16.27 | psycho_oreos | I'd say it would be vacation if its more than one country. |
| 23:16.38 | Gh0sty | max 3 months without a work permit i guess |
| 23:17.08 | psycho_oreos | Better that than having to fork out visa :) |
| 23:33.54 | psycho_oreos | I wonder how else would the ISP would know that you were tethering apart from maybe doing L2TP scans or something. |
| 23:37.19 | SpeedEvil | deep packet inspection. |
| 23:37.26 | SpeedEvil | Or just shallow packet inspection. |
| 23:37.57 | SpeedEvil | If you're playing a couple of HD streams at once - you're not doing it on your phone. |
| 23:38.31 | psycho_oreos | You could be just downloading them with maybe something like cutetube ;) |
| 23:38.41 | SpeedEvil | But todays phones make pretty much any assumptions questionable. |
| 23:39.08 | psycho_oreos | Exactly, they're far more capable than what their predecessors mostly were. |
| 23:39.28 | SpeedEvil | I mean - I can easily see using a phone to do chromecast. |
| 23:40.11 | SpeedEvil | Or indeed run a server from your n900. |
| 23:40.42 | psycho_oreos | There's even torrent clients for *cough*android*cough*. |

| 23:41.41 | SpeedEvil | Yeah. there was someone in #android the other day wondering why it made their phone hot. :) |
| 23:42.45 | psycho_oreos | Some people just don't thoroughly read and understand their instruction manuals enough. |
| 23:43.35 | robbiethe1st | Manual: http://store.steampowered.com/manual/440/ |
| 23:43.44 | robbiethe1st | You should read it. Right? :P |
| 23:46.27 | psycho_oreos | I was referring to actual phone/device products, not some in-game virtual entity :D |
| 23:46.35 | robbiethe1st | Aw |
| 23:47.02 | robbiethe1st | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1kccz1qziE <- actual real product! |
| 23:54.18 | psycho_oreos | Not as cool as this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTs7VRFV36c :d |
