| 09:11.08 | grammoboy | my tv has a scart |
| 09:11.29 | grammoboy | i've such a converter so my n900 should be able to connect to it |
| 09:17.36 | sixwheeledbeast | infobot: optimizen900 is a killall script that hopes watchdog will restart all processes it nukes. It does not solve the fact you have installed leaky widgets, causing a slow device after ~3 days. Also see ~crappatch |
| 09:17.36 | infobot | sixwheeledbeast: okay |
| 09:18.00 | sixwheeledbeast | grammoboy: only scart on your tv? |
| 09:18.49 | grammoboy | sixwheeledbeast, i think so, yes |
| 09:19.24 | sixwheeledbeast | and he you had N900 working via that? |
| 09:19.39 | sixwheeledbeast | s/he/have/ |
| 09:19.48 | sono | i tried tvout at the hackspace yesterday night, because i found a display there in the attic |
| 09:20.00 | sono | quality was not usable, i hope it was the display? |
| 09:20.25 | sono | i mean, i *did* find it in the attic. |
| 09:21.02 | sixwheeledbeast | My tv-out is fine quality wise. |
| 09:21.28 | grammoboy | sixwheeledbeast, yep got my n900 working on that |
| 09:21.45 | grammoboy | do I use ssh -X or vnc or ..? |
| 09:24.09 | sixwheeledbeast | well ideally the best option is to wire the laptop into a compatible tv input which you don't have, so therefore maybe vnc |
| 09:25.04 | grammoboy | whats the difference between ssh -x and vnc? |
| 09:25.29 | grammoboy | I want to control the laptop from the laptop keybd |
| 09:25.38 | sono | seriously? |
| 09:25.47 | sono | one is ssh using X11 forwarding, the other is VNC. |
| 09:26.14 | sono | VNC may be the better choice fo ryou |
| 09:26.29 | grammoboy | why? |
| 09:26.53 | sono | because it requires less understanding, and is generally speaking a little bit faster |
| 09:27.16 | sono | for full desktop forwarding of modern UIs, anyway. |
| 09:27.22 | sono | which i assume you will do. |

| 09:28.43 | sono | good luck |
| 09:29.13 | grammoboy | thanks you |

| 09:29.57 | sono | 11:25 < grammoboy> I want to control the laptop from the laptop keybd |
| 09:30.02 | sono | thjis makes no sense |
| 09:30.25 | grammoboy | it makes sense if there's no other way to display the content on the tv |
| 09:30.44 | grammoboy | I don't know if it makes sense, exploring the possibilities |
| 09:31.09 | sono | in order to control the laptop from the laptop keyboard, i assume you would sit down at said laptop, and use the keyboard. |
| 09:31.21 | sono | so, now you talk about a TV |
| 09:31.27 | sono | so, it makes no sense |

| 09:39.13 | sixwheeledbeast | grammoboy: If you are using multiple "TV's" I would wire them all to a aerial distribution amp and use a aerial modulator to send composite signal via RF. Attach N900 tv out to modulator and you'll even get sound out of the TV's |
| 09:39.38 | sono | i'm not saying "don't do it", because its nifty from the hack factor alone |

| 10:14.32 | sono | learnpythonthehardway.org <= i suggest you do this at least until you feel confident about programming in general, only then turn back to java. |
| 10:14.36 | bennypr0fane | it seems as though we'Re restricted to command line for coding on the N900, no? |
| 10:15.10 | bennypr0fane | I'd have liked to start with Python but my school goes with Java, so I have no choice |
| 10:15.17 | sono | there is always a choice |

| 10:15.42 | sono | learn java the hard way |
| 10:15.49 | sono | learn how to compile java classes |
| 10:15.57 | sono | what editor you use is irrelevant |
| 10:16.09 | sono | learn how to work with ant or maven or whatever you youngsters consider hip nowadays |
| 10:16.18 | bennypr0fane | :-D |
| 10:16.19 | grammoboy | sixwheeledbeast, but you think a 900 is a good device to connect to old tvs, or would you choose an other one? |
| 10:16.32 | sono | really, benny |
| 10:16.33 | bennypr0fane | wish that I were a youngster |
| 10:16.54 | sono | you will learn nothing of value from coding from example textbooks against java APIs that the IDE will present to you on a tablet |
| 10:17.04 | sono | worse, you will be doing negative learning |
| 10:17.07 | grammoboy | sixwheeledbeast, laptop is hard to an old tv probably |
| 10:17.55 | grammoboy | rPi outputs SVID and HDMI. |
| 10:17.55 | bennypr0fane | I'm more of a late starter |
| 10:18.02 | sono | irrelevant =) |
| 10:18.27 | sono | even moreso you should learn the hard way |

| 10:20.35 | bennypr0fane | which are the tools that you guys use for coding on N900? |
| 10:20.43 | sono | i don't code on the n900 |
| 10:20.59 | sono | the n900 is a smart network appliance for me |
| 10:21.14 | BCMM | bennypr0fane: ssh, and a computer with a real keyboard :) |
| 10:21.17 | sixwheeledbeast | grammoboy: You said you have N900 and laptop with only old TV's so that is what I worked from |
| 10:21.20 | sono | if i write code using the n900, it will be on a remote ^ |
| 10:21.36 | sono | i mean, seriously |
| 10:21.49 | sono | why would you even consider such a thing. even if you don't own a PC |
| 10:21.49 | BCMM | (more importantly, a bigger CPU to do the compiling one...) |
| 10:22.05 | DocScrutinizer05 | sixwheeledbeast: (talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=58935 etc) yep, insane. And lots of noobs applauding to a lot of handwaving |
| 10:22.10 | bennypr0fane | alright, so none of you codes on the N900. Got it |
| 10:22.21 | sono | it is an insane notion, if you ask me |
| 10:22.30 | sono | but w/e |
| 10:22.37 | sixwheeledbeast | Doc :nod: see ~optimizen900 :) |
| 10:24.59 | bennypr0fane | sono because seriously, sitting in a public place with a laptop actually on yr lap seems more insane to me , it gives me cramps in the neck |
| 10:25.43 | sixwheeledbeast | Some people code on N900 but it's got more room for text errors IMO. mainly use Vi or Vim. I like gedit on debian/buntu myself the colors help weed out the typos. |
| 10:26.02 | bennypr0fane | I've read lots of people on TMO syaing the do some minor coding work on N900 |
| 10:26.02 | sono | nobody is stopping you from ssh'ing out from your n900 to a host where you have a good, customized vim and enough CPU to actually compile things. |
| 10:26.27 | sono | but as soon as you get home, either hook the n900 into your "dock" or use the other machines |
| 10:26.41 | sono | everything else is just masochism |
| 10:27.04 | bennypr0fane | when I'm home that's obviously what I do |
| 10:27.10 | bennypr0fane | not a masochist |
| 10:27.11 | sono | so ssh out. |
| 10:27.23 | sono | i am verboten from mentioning how i do that |
| 10:27.28 | bennypr0fane | I'm talking about mobile use, y'know |
| 10:27.47 | bennypr0fane | the kinbd of thing you use mobile devices for |
| 10:27.48 | sono | but doc will gladly supply you with an autossh-like hack consisting of a shell script loop |
| 10:27.49 | bennypr0fane | geez |

| 10:28.50 | DocScrutinizer05 | grammoboy: a honest suggestion: forget about using N900 for a PC->TV adapter, it won't fly |
| 10:28.53 | sixwheeledbeast | you vim and ssh/rsync your work back to desktop using stuff from ~jrtools |
| 10:28.57 | bennypr0fane | what you might do when you're out and about with some spare time on your hands, sitting around ... |
| 10:29.03 | sixwheeledbeast | s/you/use/ |
| 10:29.13 | sono | ~jrtools |
| 10:29.13 | infobot | rumour has it, jrtools is http://wiki.maemo.org/User:Joerg_rw/tools |
| 10:29.21 | grammoboy | DocScrutinizer05, and n900 -> TV? |
| 10:29.29 | DocScrutinizer05 | that works OOTB |
| 10:29.46 | bennypr0fane | sixwheeledbeast, thanks |
| 10:29.56 | DocScrutinizer05 | aiui you already did it, with your CVBS->SCART adapter |
| 10:30.00 | grammoboy | hm then I need to see if can can smartly loop and switch clips via mplayer |
| 10:30.52 | sono | bennypr0fane: instead of using rsync learn git. |
| 10:31.01 | DocScrutinizer05 | grammoboy: get an adapter from whatever video-out you may have on laptop, to RGB or CVBS. they are dirt cheap, like 20 bucks |
| 10:31.56 | grammoboy | DocScrutinizer05, that works the same as n900 to tv, quality wise? |
| 10:32.12 | DocScrutinizer05 | nowadays every modern TV set has HDMI input as well, and many come with VGA input even, which is perfect to hook up a PC/laptip to it |
| 10:32.27 | zamn900 | hey I am back |
| 10:32.35 | DocScrutinizer05 | yes, quality is at least at par |
| 10:32.36 | sono | he mentioned something about an art project and black and white TVs, doc |
| 10:32.43 | sono | i think this is intentionally low-fi |
| 10:32.45 | bennypr0fane | sono I guess compiling stuff before uploading to git is better so rsync to me home devices for testing seems a good idea |
| 10:32.46 | zamn900 | so modest is for email cool |
| 10:33.08 | zamn900 | i did not find any else about optimizen900 |
| 10:33.09 | grammoboy | DocScrutinizer05, yep I want to use old TVs |
| 10:33.20 | DocScrutinizer05 | then use CVBS |

| 10:41.21 | zamn900 | ok but whatelse to use instead |
| 10:41.29 | DocScrutinizer05 | err, for what? |
| 10:41.30 | BCMM | DocScrutinizer05: is that the script that just kills a bunch of stuff, which eventually respawns anyway? |
| 10:41.38 | DocScrutinizer05 | yep |
| 10:41.45 | DocScrutinizer05 | ;-P |
| 10:41.51 | zamn900 | oh I see... |
| 10:41.56 | zamn900 | you right |
| 10:42.04 | sono | wow, that is prove of an incredible lack of understanding |
| 10:42.12 | DocScrutinizer05 | indeed |
| 10:42.12 | sono | proof* |
| 10:42.15 | zamn900 | times it's imperfect |
| 10:42.33 | DocScrutinizer05 | just like crappatches |
| 10:42.45 | DocScrutinizer05 | ~optimizen900 |
| 10:42.45 | infobot | from memory, optimizen900 is a killall script that hopes watchdog will restart all processes it nukes. It does not solve the fact you have installed leaky widgets, causing a slow device after ~3 days. Also see ~crappatch |
| 10:43.12 | DocScrutinizer05 | ~crappatch |
| 10:43.12 | infobot | somebody said speedpatch was http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=1012405#post1012405 >>first i don't realy understand what does this patch do (that is why it is called miracle patch)<< [/quote original-author-of-speedpatch] |
| 10:43.23 | zamn900 | but what if not this what else app can do faster tasks |
| 10:44.20 | DocScrutinizer05 | N900 has a certain speed which is usually just fine unless you mess with crappatch, optimizen900, batterypatch and other shite |
| 10:44.57 | zamn900 | why they still are in repos? |
| 10:45.13 | DocScrutinizer05 | there are a few ways to *really* improve speed of N900, the most sane and effective of them being freemangordon's awesome cssu-thunb |
| 10:45.36 | DocScrutinizer05 | zamn900: because we have no justification to remove crap from extras-devel |

| 10:55.45 | sixwheeledbeast | zamn900: you left before I asked my question :( |
| 10:58.04 | sixwheeledbeast | IMO when the rogue leaky extras widget(s) are found and removed from extras less people will look for ~optimizen900 and ~crappatch and ~kps |
| 11:00.35 | zammy | ok |
| 11:04.09 | DocScrutinizer05 | sixwheeledbeast: is the leaking confirmed? |
| 11:04.18 | sixwheeledbeast | Not saying KPS is crap BTW. People think my system is slow lets give it more "power" to hide the underlying issue I have NFC about. |
| 11:04.31 | DocScrutinizer05 | I thought a very common cause was swap fragmentation |
| 11:04.58 | DocScrutinizer05 | KPS? |
| 11:04.59 | sixwheeledbeast | http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=1373958&postcount=89 see very long bug report in post |
| 11:05.30 | sixwheeledbeast | KPS = overclocking with kernel power settings |
| 11:06.37 | sixwheeledbeast | swap frag is also an issue but generally h-h and h-d leaks in top are an issue with some widgetz |
| 11:08.50 | DocScrutinizer05 | yeah, widgets are dangerous, particularly since they run in H-H context, as subroutines |
| 11:09.38 | DocScrutinizer05 | anyway, see FMG's investigation on memleaks in stock applets/widgets/whatever like lockscreen and whatnot else |
| 11:09.45 | DocScrutinizer05 | fixed in CSSU afaik |
| 11:10.09 | DocScrutinizer05 | I never ran into it since I never use lockscreen |
| 11:10.11 | sixwheeledbeast | it's not easy to diagnose the issue either as it maybe a combination of extras widgets and not one in isolation |
| 11:10.28 | DocScrutinizer05 | hardly |
| 11:10.56 | DocScrutinizer05 | widgets should have zero cross effects |
| 11:11.34 | DocScrutinizer05 | one widget does hardly get to know about any other widget active, afaik |
| 11:11.35 | sixwheeledbeast | All I know is in my case "stop mce" fixed the h-h CPU spikes |
| 11:11.57 | DocScrutinizer05 | hmm |
| 11:12.08 | DocScrutinizer05 | which might be rotation-related |
| 11:12.40 | sixwheeledbeast | I suspect something that controls LED like camera-lens0reminder for example |
| 11:12.48 | DocScrutinizer05 | OMG |
| 11:13.06 | DocScrutinizer05 | yeah, even fcam known to thoroughly messup fubar the indicator LED |
| 11:13.41 | sixwheeledbeast | but some people like Woody report no issues with that app. |
| 11:14.09 | DocScrutinizer05 | if cam-lens-reminder is stupid enough to try messing with indicator LED directly, you are doomed to eventually encounter unpleasant effects |
| 11:14.28 | DocScrutinizer05 | it's a race and hard to reproduce reliably |
| 11:15.04 | sixwheeledbeast | Hence my combination of apps cause the leak theory. |

| 11:24.49 | rajkonni | OMG... let me be clear. running on cssu stable. N900 was working all fine, till last week. now the phone does not respond at times. i mean if i click menu, it just keep on changing screens, nothing is possible. cannot attend calls. i have to press multiple times to select answer. |
| 11:25.25 | DocScrutinizer05 | mhm |
| 11:25.34 | rajkonni | i really dont know how to create a question for this. |
| 11:25.40 | rajkonni | truly... |
| 11:25.46 | DocScrutinizer05 | now that sounds a tiny bit more like a report we could help with |
| 11:26.17 | DocScrutinizer05 | so you say the device randomy ignores clicks? |
| 11:26.42 | DocScrutinizer05 | aka it "freezes"? |
| 11:26.49 | rajkonni | the phone is just MAD, at times... after few hours all is okay. how? it must be software na...LOL. .and the most funny thing is this is my only phone, and at the crucial times when i need to make a call it goes mad. |
| 11:27.06 | rajkonni | it is not FREEZE |
| 11:27.45 | DocScrutinizer05 | sorry, the description of symptoms is still too fuzzy then |
| 11:28.14 | rajkonni | it is taking clicks.... i have only 2 widgets in my desktop.. 1 notes .. 2 phone... if i tap phone, no response... if i tap menu, it just chnages and changes screens. |

| 11:31.21 | rajkonni | but it becomes all okay after sometime...how? |
| 11:31.28 | DocScrutinizer05 | rajkonni: to rule that out, a reflash and running a bare system without additional apps installed is the only way |
| 11:31.59 | DocScrutinizer05 | bindi: check settings, there's "about CSSU" |

| 11:33.18 | rajkonni | version 21.2011.38-1S maemo 6.1 flavour stable ... i tried so much to get this from phone now.... |
| 11:33.29 | bindi | it would seem that i do have it |
| 11:33.31 | bindi | just not the latest |
| 11:33.47 | rajkonni | have to click with pin point accuracy and keep pressing to make phone understand that i want that option. |
| 11:33.53 | sixwheeledbeast | bindi: which version? |
| 11:33.57 | DocScrutinizer05 | rajkonni: the digitizer is a delicate component, filled with oil that is supposed to separate two conductive foils. When any of the paramaters of this component changes (oil ages by oxidation, mechanical impct, whatever), you see all sorts of self-fixing and random effects |
| 11:34.49 | bindi | sixwheeledbeast: nfi :p |
| 11:34.59 | bindi | there's been an update availalble for quite a while |
| 11:35.05 | bindi | gonna install it later, gaming break |
| 11:35.30 | sixwheeledbeast | maybe there is contact at one area and pressing another area of digitizer is causing "MADness" |
| 11:36.04 | sixwheeledbeast | bindi: click on about Community SSU post version no |
| 11:36.11 | DocScrutinizer05 | sixwheeledbeast: yes, that's basically what hapens when oil is old or missing or cold or foils deformed or whatever |
| 11:37.00 | sixwheeledbeast | but could that be a intermittent issue? |
| 11:37.06 | DocScrutinizer05 | thus I suggest full reflash, to rule out hw issues |

| 12:08.34 | DocScrutinizer05 | [2013-10-25 18:20:56] <DocScrutinizer05> you don't want to have to boot with a stock kernel, ever |
| 12:09.48 | DocScrutinizer05 | it's still not exactly noob stuff |
| 12:10.36 | DocScrutinizer05 | and you should be prepared to discard your current system, reflash, and start from scratch |
| 12:10.57 | zammy | in case I mess up with this not-noob stuff? |

| 12:11.25 | zammy | I will heroically read all |
| 12:11.27 | DocScrutinizer05 | or somebody else is messing up, so the thumbified system is corrupted |
| 12:11.54 | DocScrutinizer05 | not completely unlikely a thing to happen, this is still experimental |
| 12:12.10 | zammy | I will... because for now I want to rest and get strength enough for my heroic battle |
| 12:13.06 | DocScrutinizer05 | your system will crash epically with standard kernels |
| 12:13.24 | zammy | it's enough that's considered epic |

| 12:14.32 | DocScrutinizer05 | that's a funny topic |
| 12:15.15 | hahlo | with harmattan I was installing firefox to it, and accidentally swipe screen close in the middle of installing, system went to unbootable condition, wonder why |
| 12:15.35 | DocScrutinizer05 | the orthodox way is to directly edit that config file which iirc is called bootmenu |
| 12:16.34 | zammy | bootmenu I uninstalled as uboot works better |
| 12:16.56 | DocScrutinizer05 | but pali added some nifty script sth like update-bootmenu.sh that gets executed during installation of uBoot by apt and which looks into some directories /etc/bootmenu.d/* or whatever, and creates the original uBoot config from what it finds there |

| 12:30.03 | DocScrutinizer05 | isn't it just uboot's very own cryptic script language? |
| 12:30.07 | Pali | DocScrutinizer05: yes, it must be binary |
| 12:30.40 | Pali | you need to "compile" that uboot script to binary file which can be loaded in uboot |
| 12:30.48 | Pali | zammy: yes |
| 12:30.58 | zammy | to me "compile"? |
| 12:31.04 | DocScrutinizer05 | I thought uBoot does "source $configroot/bootmenu.scr" by default |

| 12:31.33 | DocScrutinizer05 | o.O |

| 12:31.47 | DocScrutinizer05 | that's not the uBoot I know from 5 years ago |
| 12:31.56 | Pali | uImage is simple format: it has header with all needed data and then source of file |

| 12:34.31 | Pali | uboot can boot (linux) kernel image |
| 12:34.58 | infobot | turn around the sign, so it shows "the doctor is *out*" |
| 12:35.02 | Pali | kernel image must be in zImage format (or uImage) |
| 12:35.07 | zammy | ... I want just to have open-cam door and other dbus signals to have hack and custom code-gesture unblock and block for boot my n900 |
| 12:35.24 | jon_y | wait it can load zImage? |
| 12:35.31 | Pali | uboot yes |
| 12:35.42 | Pali | uboot are started *before* kernel ans it is bootloader |
| 12:35.45 | jon_y | I thought it must be combined to form uImage? |
| 12:35.47 | Pali | so it booting kernel(s) |
| 12:35.48 | zammy | get? |
| 12:36.09 | jon_y | that tiny file piggybacking on zImage |
| 12:36.25 | Pali | rigth, uboot can boot only kernels in uImage format, but u-boot-update-bootmenu converting zImage to uImage... |
| 12:36.27 | jon_y | iirc it contains kernel args |
| 12:36.40 | Pali | so you can specify zImage to config file (script will convert it automatically) |
| 12:36.46 | jon_y | ok, so technically it is still uImage only |
| 12:36.50 | Pali | yes |
| 12:36.54 | jon_y | ok |
| 12:37.09 | Pali | but if you really want, it is possible to boot also zImage |
| 12:37.21 | Pali | you just need to load file (in uboot) to RAM manually |
| 12:37.27 | zammy | actually I don't blame at all your guide... I wanna very exceptional things |
| 12:37.31 | Pali | and manually do jump |
| 12:37.38 | jon_y | sounds hairy |
| 12:37.53 | Pali | yes, reason why script autoconvert zImage to uImage :-) |
| 12:37.58 | jon_y | iirc uboot needs to also init the ram controller |
| 12:38.13 | jon_y | and run entirely in cpu cache before that |
| 12:38.20 | Pali | yes, it doing |
| 12:38.25 | Pali | (and NOLO too) |
| 12:38.26 | jon_y | though I might have been confusing it wirh something else |
| 12:38.38 | jon_y | eeww so painful |
| 12:38.40 | Pali | NOLO doing everything... |
| 12:38.50 | jon_y | does this happen on typical android phones too? |
| 12:38.55 | Pali | but code is also in uboot... |
| 12:39.04 | Pali | no idea, I do not have any android device |
| 12:39.13 | jon_y | ok |
| 12:39.18 | zammy | Pali, doc said that is possible to customize the boot to our normal image of n900 for getting exclusive gesture-code as password or hack-password |
| 12:39.33 | jon_y | gesture-code? |
| 12:39.55 | jon_y | isn't that after the phone boots? |
| 12:39.56 | zammy | such as cam door open slide open press q botton or other |

| 12:44.56 | DocScrutinizer05 | I know it's "simple" |
| 12:45.05 | DocScrutinizer05 | but needs sourceode patching |

| 12:46.32 | Pali | no c++, but c and uboot scripts |
| 12:46.32 | zammy | alright |

| 19:52.33 | infobot | i heard pkg is http://maemo.org/packages/ |
| 19:53.55 | sixwheeledbeast | I have neither installed on my CSSU-S device |
| 19:56.52 | Pali | sixwheeledbeast: just check if you have installed that two packages |
| 19:56.58 | Pali | mime-support and ucf |
| 19:57.17 | sixwheeledbeast | (20:53:55) sixwheeledbeast: I have neither installed on my CSSU-S device |
| 19:57.40 | Pali | ok |
| 19:57.58 | sono | rdepends looks harmless |
| 19:58.05 | sono | do you want a paste in query |
| 19:58.21 | sono | not installed here, too, obviously |
| 19:58.23 | Pali | both are needed on modern debian/ubuntu desktop |
| 19:58.34 | Pali | so reason why I'm asking :-) |
| 19:59.26 | Pali | but right, maemo does not have debconf |
| 19:59.36 | Pali | and ucf using debconf... |
