| 11:30.02 | Oksanaa | How do I check whether keyboard is open or closed? How do I check whether keyboard sensor works or not? |
| 11:32.35 | Oksanaa | Also, is it "normal" to see both 1850 root 3844 S fsck -a /dev/mmcblk0p1 and 1853 root 9572 R fsck.vfat -a /dev/mmcblk0p1 running on startup before eMMC mounting? Takes time, too, but lack of notification LED can at times lead to unclean shutdown. |
| 11:34.40 | Oksanaa | I just wish I knew for sure that this fsck did clean-up, and that one unclean shut-down will not lead to fsck-at-each-and-every-startup |
| 11:37.09 | Oksanaa | /me has a feeling that software is worn-out somewhere. Even auto-capitalisation doesn't seem to work properly anymore. Well, it may be just because it thinks that hw kb is closed, while I am typing on it. |
| 12:04.06 | Michael_a330 | When the screen is locked and you unlock by opening the keyboard, is that indication that sensor works? |
| 12:07.25 | Oksanaa | I think so. Anyway, the keyboard silliness passed; probably related to start-up something. |
| 12:14.26 | bencoh | Oksanaa: keyboard/slider sensor is connected to a gpio |
| 12:14.37 | bencoh | dmesg will tell you much gpio |
| 12:17.51 | Oksanaa | Thank you :-) will read dmesg, it's lots of lines. Full info since start-up, may be interesting |
| 12:22.06 | Oksanaa | Whatever is procwrap_detach: deprecated dspbridge ioctl ? And ***** DSPMMU FAULT ***** IRQStatus 0x2 ? The latter one may need a pastebin, lots of lines. |
| 12:27.21 | bencoh | dspmmu fault usually calls for a reboot |
| 12:28.12 | Oksanaa | Well, had it caused a reboot, it wouldn't be in dmesg output? Unless dmesg remember what happened before start-up |
| 12:28.47 | bencoh | no I mean, I don't think I ever had a working dsp after seeing that message |
| 12:28.58 | bencoh | and eventually had to reboot |
| 12:29.45 | Oksanaa | Hmm, how do I see whether dsp works or not? Whatever it is. |
| 12:29.57 | bencoh | although restarting dsp from a running linux should work, but iirc something prevented me from restarting the dsp manager server |
| 12:30.20 | bencoh | hardware video acceleration uses DSP |
| 12:30.55 | bencoh | (might be the only use of the DSP on n900 actually) |
| 12:33.04 | buZz | i thought DSP on pre-n900 was always used by the builtin mediaplayer for decoding mp3 |
| 12:34.23 | bencoh | yeah, video/audio, sorry :) |
| 12:34.38 | bencoh | (both decoding and encoding iirc) |
| 12:35.38 | Oksanaa | Well, I can watch a movie alright. Would it be DSP, or a fallback mechanism after DSP fails? |
| 12:41.38 | bencoh | I'd say dsp, so ... dunno |
| 12:41.46 | bencoh | maybe it's not exactly the same error I had :) |
| 12:42.24 | Oksanaa | It just spams dmesg with procwrap_detach: deprecated dspbridge ioctl, but audio and video play fine. |

| 15:35.00 | LjL | it seems original alright |
| 15:35.04 | buZz | :D |
| 15:35.15 | buZz | but not so much in quality? |
| 15:35.22 | LjL | but it was bare in an envelope completely unpadded, and i think the plastic top which has the contacts wiggles |

| 15:35.49 | buZz | knew* |
| 15:35.54 | LjL | they manage to break packages that are padded with half a meter of polystyrene |
| 15:36.34 | LjL | buZz, he said it would be in a "blister", i'm not sure if that word makes sense in english, but i was expecting a small but hard transparent plastic enclosure |
| 15:36.43 | LjL | plus, at the very least, a bubblewrap-padded envelope |
| 15:37.10 | LjL | a friend sent me a *phone* in such an envelope and it was undamaged. it was risky, but it sure beats a simple paper envelope |

| 15:58.39 | LjL | buZz, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6f23WHC3KU |
| 15:59.08 | buZz | left one is the new one? |
| 15:59.12 | buZz | it looks bulged |
| 15:59.43 | LjL | buZz, no, left one is old |
| 15:59.51 | LjL | i think neither looks bulged |
| 16:00.09 | LjL | buZz, and up above the new battery there is the "blister" |
| 16:00.16 | buZz | that barcode is different aswell |
| 16:00.31 | LjL | buZz, i am commenting in the audio, but it's very faint |
| 16:00.32 | buZz | i didnt decode it though, just visually |
| 16:01.25 | LjL | buZz, is the barcode supposed to be the same for all of them? might encode the serial number for all i know |
| 16:01.44 | buZz | no clue, lemme check my BL-5J's |
| 16:02.59 | LjL | anyway the thing that makes me most uneasy right now is the loose top. even if it's counterfeit, well, i'll probably notice from the (lack of) duration. but if the top is loose it might have short circuits inside the protection circuitry or such |
| 16:03.33 | LjL | it is not *very* loose. it moves just a bit |
| 16:03.40 | buZz | both my BL-5J's have nearly the same number underneath, first 8 and last 10 digits are equal |
| 16:04.34 | buZz | the barcodes are also different, but not so very different |
| 16:04.41 | buZz | so it might be the number, yes |
| 16:04.46 | LjL | buZz, are they like my old battery? |
| 16:04.49 | buZz | none have 'further processed' under it |
| 16:04.53 | buZz | like the left one |
| 16:04.54 | buZz | yeah |
| 16:04.55 | LjL | hmmm |
| 16:05.09 | LjL | that "further processed" sure shows a different production batch at least |
| 16:05.12 | LjL | like very different |
| 16:05.31 | LjL | buZz, are both of yours old? |
| 16:05.48 | LjL | maybe Nokia has produced some more recently in a different way |
| 16:06.08 | buZz | yeah both old-ish |
| 16:06.22 | buZz | one bulging even :( |
| 16:09.23 | LjL | buZz, i'm about to put it in the N900 wish me luck |
| 16:09.34 | LjL | (assuming it fits, given the top's unevenness) |
| 16:09.35 | buZz | good luck! |
| 16:11.16 | LjL | buZz, i had to press it down a bit to make it fit, since, as expected, it didn't easily fit inside the compartment given the bad top |
| 16:11.30 | LjL | but Maemo is booting... |
| 16:13.15 | LjL | buZz, actually no, it's not *booting*. it reaches pretty much the same stage as with the old battery, and then it dies. except with the old battery, it also lost backlighting before dying, so this battery has some more charge in it |
| 16:13.21 | LjL | but evidently there's something wrong with my Maemo anyway |
| 16:13.57 | LjL | my memory is quite bad and i can't remember but i have a vague recollection of having put a bulk of things, perhaps part of the OS itself if that's even possible, on a microSD card |
| 16:14.06 | buZz | :( |
| 16:14.12 | LjL | but there is no card in the phone now, so if i actually did that, then that would explain the failed boot |
| 16:14.18 | buZz | right |
| 16:14.21 | LjL | but why would i have removed the card in that case? |
| 16:14.23 | buZz | maybe flash from 0? |
| 16:14.54 | LjL | buZz, yeah maybe i should but... should i do that before being quite sure that *one* battery will be able to charge? |
| 16:14.55 | buZz | http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_tablet_firmware#The_Lazy_Approach <- this one was my starting point for my n900 just ..2? weeks ago |
| 16:15.11 | LjL | also, i think i had pictures and stuff from my trip to London on the phone. i'm not really sure but i'd like to boot into it and see :( |
| 16:15.12 | buZz | the battery wont charge without a booted phone, afaik |
| 16:15.17 | buZz | ah yeah :/ |
| 16:15.43 | buZz | do you have some DIY li+ charger? you could just connect the battery to that and charge it outside of the phone |
| 16:15.54 | LjL | that looks lazy alright |
| 16:16.03 | buZz | lazy++ |
| 16:16.14 | LjL | buZz, no, i don't. that would have been my alternative to buying a new battery, but new battery seemed cheaper and less scary than charging externally |
| 16:16.23 | buZz | hmhm |
| 16:16.38 | buZz | i dont fear any technology and have been messing with electronics since forever :) |
| 16:16.50 | LjL | anyway i somehow get the feeling that this new battery, whether it's genuine and good or not, does have a deccent amount of charge in it at the moment |
| 16:17.08 | buZz | did you try booting with keyboard open? |
| 16:17.17 | LjL | buZz, i don't fear technology, i fear chemical fumes :P |
| 16:17.20 | buZz | on my current n900, that brings up the boot menu |
| 16:17.25 | LjL | oh |
| 16:17.28 | LjL | i tried, yeah |
| 16:17.33 | LjL | i tried booting with "u" pressed |
| 16:17.38 | LjL | i thought that was what would bring up the boot menu |
| 16:17.44 | buZz | i tried SO HARD to get a lipo to flame or explode |
| 16:17.45 | LjL | but i guess open keyboard was enough |
| 16:17.46 | buZz | havent yet :/ |
| 16:18.08 | LjL | buZz, so yeah i did get a boot menu before, but i wasn't really sure how to resurrect anything from there |
| 16:18.19 | LjL | at first it seemed that just dropping into a console let it stay alive for charging |
| 16:18.21 | buZz | no, me neither |
| 16:18.22 | LjL | but then it died anyway |
| 16:18.28 | buZz | i only own a n900 since this month |
| 16:18.36 | buZz | no expert ;) |
| 16:18.36 | LjL | ah |
| 16:18.42 | buZz | well i own two now |
| 16:18.43 | LjL | maybe i should "start bme" within the console |
| 16:18.47 | LjL | assuming i can |
| 16:19.46 | buZz | i believe in you |
| 16:19.47 | buZz | :) |
| 16:19.48 | LjL | buZz, did you buy it as your main phone, as a collector, or what? |
| 16:19.54 | buZz | no i dont use phones |
| 16:19.58 | buZz | i just love maemo :) |
| 16:20.06 | buZz | already had 770, n800, n810 |
| 16:20.09 | LjL | ah |
| 16:20.11 | buZz | now i just need the n9-00 |
| 16:20.12 | LjL | i have an N810 |
| 16:20.17 | buZz | and maybe n950 |
| 16:20.23 | LjL | those are too 'spensive for me |
| 16:20.40 | buZz | i think i actually like the n810 formfactor better than n900's |
| 16:20.46 | LjL | i bought both the N810 and the N900 when they were well past their hayday too |
| 16:20.53 | LjL | the N810 is ncie |
| 16:20.58 | LjL | but its keyboard feels awful |
| 16:21.15 | buZz | it matches my hands better :) |
| 16:21.17 | LjL | and its battery management is even more ridiculous than the N900's ;( |
| 16:21.23 | LjL | well, it's bigger |
| 16:21.26 | buZz | but i've also grown accustom to typing on a 'Zipit Z2' |

| 16:32.00 | LjL | buZz, apparently this backupmenu thing also has a thing to make the N900 enter mass storage device mode |
| 16:32.00 | LjL | so now i'm seeing myDocs from my computer |
| 16:32.13 | LjL | including DCIM, so backup time |
| 16:32.13 | buZz | !!!! |
| 16:32.15 | buZz | excellent |
| 16:32.28 | buZz | i didnt checkout BME properly yet |
| 16:32.30 | buZz | nor the bootmenu |
| 16:32.43 | LjL | it might also be charging but i dunno, there is no LED no |
| 16:32.43 | LjL | on |
| 16:33.17 | buZz | i dont think it charges before the kernel is booted, really |
| 16:33.42 | LjL | buZz, i think *a* kernel must be booted |
| 16:33.47 | LjL | i don't think this backupmenu is just its own kernel |
| 16:33.48 | buZz | well true |
| 16:33.58 | buZz | it could be, though |
| 16:34.07 | LjL | it says "BackupMenu 1.2.0 by RobbieThe1st" |
| 16:34.15 | LjL | so while i don't remember a thing, as mentioned |
| 16:34.19 | LjL | this is probably not exactly a built-in Maemo thing |
| 16:34.29 | buZz | yeah its not :) |
| 16:35.08 | buZz | ah it also talks about udev |
| 16:35.12 | buZz | so must be a linux kernel |

| 17:00.48 | infobot | bootloop is, like, when your device has broken rootfilesystem, so during reboot it fails on some service startup or kernel module load and thus reboots. This *drains* battery! And you can't reflash to stop bootloop when battery is drained. Recharge your battery by other means before reflashing. E.g. using ~rescueOS. Or external charger or BL-5J compatible other device. |

| 17:57.16 | LjL | buZz, but then it went dark again, it didn't actually boot up to some screen |
| 17:57.19 | LjL | but the LED is still doing the slow flashing |
| 17:57.27 | LjL | should i leave it there without touching it for a bit? |

| 17:58.49 | buZz | i just left it with orange led until i got bored, and tried powering again, which made it boot all the way |

| 18:02.46 | LjL | buZz, it might be a bit dangerous, but during the past few days trying to resurrect my old battery, i encountered a tip to run Maemo "from USB" for a very short time, by stopping bme and then removing the battery |
| 18:02.59 | buZz | oo fancy |
| 18:03.01 | LjL | so i *think* it cannot be ruled out that if (assming i can boot the phone eventually) |
| 18:03.23 | LjL | if i run it from the new battery while connected to USB, then stop bme, then very quickly put the old battery in, and restart bme |
| 18:03.34 | LjL | that it would keep going from the old battery, and start charging it |
| 18:03.40 | LjL | either it does that, or it explodes, anyway |
| 18:03.49 | buZz | should be fine :) |
| 18:09.16 | LjL | buZz, i guess it's also possible that the BME, once restarted, would feel extremely perplexed at the fact that the battery is now at 2% when it was at 95% last time it checked, and do a safety shutdown |

| 19:08.12 | LjL | the latter two boot, but the first (which is the default) does not |
| 19:08.22 | LjL | i don't really remember any of this stuff from 2013. directions? :( |
| 19:08.29 | LjL | what am i meant to be using these days |
| 19:13.02 | LjL | buZz, battery now at 64%. while i do remember Maemo taking an inordinate amount of battery juice to reboot... i'm not *entirely* sure this is a sign of a top-performing battery |
| 19:14.32 | buZz | its a bit fast yeah, but you did play with it for 45 minutes just now? :) |
| 19:17.54 | LjL | buZz, not really, mainly rebooted and stared at boot screen |
| 19:18.18 | LjL | updated software that was waiting to update, too, but there were just like 4 updates |
| 19:18.37 | LjL | and some failed because the kernel isn't right for them, i suspect |
| 19:22.00 | LjL | U-Boot wants to update but also doesn't want to update |
| 19:27.54 | buZz | ah, all png files are maptiles ^_^ |
| 19:33.41 | bencoh | LjL: the first kernel is probably not supposed to boot with a cssu rootfs |
| 19:33.52 | bencoh | since I expect it to be a stock kernel |
| 19:33.57 | bencoh | which is incompatible nowadays |
| 19:34.23 | bencoh | you probably want kernel-power anyway, for all the goodies it brings |
| 19:34.36 | LjL | bencoh, i see. i don't know why i have it listed as the first bootloader option then... |
| 19:34.52 | bencoh | it being your first choice is not a good idea, yeah :) |
| 19:35.13 | bencoh | you can change that in some /etc/ file and regenerate uboot menu iirc |
| 19:35.51 | LjL | bencoh, any clue why this "U-Boot with kernel 2.6.28-omap1" update that the application manager prompt complains it "conflict with 3d party package policy"? |

| 22:25.58 | buZz | keep forgetting when i step out the door ^_^ |
| 22:26.01 | LjL | the other one i saw was both tacky and $200 |
| 22:26.10 | LjL | the one i bought was â¬53. Bluetooth. |
| 22:26.36 | buZz | nice nice |
| 22:26.59 | LjL | "The software from this catalogue might cause tsunami even if you live hundreds of kilometers inland and if you sue Nokia about it you will achieve nothing. Install?" man that sounds scary |
| 22:28.11 | LjL | the un-nice thing is that only an ANSI version of it exists, and i need ISO layouts |
| 22:28.24 | LjL | so i'll have to never type <, > or | again |
| 22:29.00 | LjL | i suppose i'll cope by taking pictures of stuff my console prints and then OCRing them instead of using redirection |
| 22:32.50 | buZz | at least there is that conveniance for you |
| 22:33.01 | buZz | praise cheeses |
| 22:33.55 | bencoh | LjL: which repository is that? |
| 22:34.27 | LjL | bencoh, just the mirror of the Nokia one. actual message might have been slightly exaggerated for comedic effect. |
| 22:36.30 | bencoh | ah :] |
| 22:41.00 | LjL | how dangerous does it sound to you to try to resurrect my dead battery by stopping bme, swapping batteries real fast, and restarting bme |
| 22:41.50 | LjL | oh good grief, kernel-modules is still not available. where the hell is it. |
| 22:43.28 | LjL | uh, nope, i'm not going to install that. it wants to remove 921 packages. |
| 22:51.02 | bencoh | LjL: hotswapping batteries doesn't work on n900 |
| 22:55.22 | LjL | bencoh, but... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sa-WNmsLMaE ? |
| 23:00.27 | DocScrutinizer51 | hotswapping batteries works, but doesn't help *at all* to ressurrect a dead cell |
| 23:01.14 | LjL | i see |
| 23:01.32 | LjL | well, more importantly for the time being: is current U-Boot broken, or am i? |
| 23:01.50 | LjL | the package i have is "u-boot-flasher" aka "U-Boot with kernel 2.6.28-omap1" |
| 23:01.53 | DocScrutinizer51 | false assumptions. N900 charges flat battery |
| 23:02.27 | LjL | it wants to update itself, but to do that, it depends on kernel-modules, and if i try to install kernel-modules on my CSSU system, apt-get hilariously tries to remove the entire world |
| 23:03.48 | LjL | DocScrutinizer51, well, i couldn't seem to find a way to charge mine before it spontaneously rebooted, while with the new cell, i managed to boot. i had this rescueOS thing linked earlier but now that i have a new battery, didn't really check it out |
| 23:04.31 | DocScrutinizer51 | well the battery is dead |
| 23:06.16 | DocScrutinizer51 | unless you got a rotten rootfs causing the bootloop |
| 23:06.46 | DocScrutinizer51 | ~flatbatrecover |
| 23:06.47 | infobot | Remove battery for 1 minute. Insert battery. Plug powered ***NOKIA WALLCHARGER*** to device. Watch steady amber. Let sit and charge. Do NOT try to boot. After 30 min, you got either a) a booted up N900, b) flashing amber which means you can boot, c) steady amber shut off -> start over again with ~flatbatrecover while already searching for a new battery. CAVEAT! Only works when ~rootfs OK (no ~bootloop) |
| 23:06.47 | bencoh | yeah my bad, hotswapping a dead battery doesn't work :) |
