| 09:02.08 | Wikiwide | I experienced it today after changing battery. I haven't encountered this problem in a while. It was made worse by general slowness of response of software. |
| 09:15.38 | Maxdamantus | Wikiwide: ime it gets worse with a larger DCIM directory. |

| 10:35.03 | DocScrutinizer05 | Wikiwide: I *think* this is related to an unknown bug in DSP. IIRC Pali or freemangordon know more details |
| 10:36.21 | DocScrutinizer05 | I witnessed similar symptoms especially while shooting movies |
| 11:00.42 | Wikiwide | Yes, I was trying to shoot a movie when this happened. And my DCIM directory is quite large, with a "never delete, unless this image is boring _and_ was already emailed somewhen" policy |
| 11:06.22 | Maxdamantus | I suspect moving things out of the DCIM directory would have a massive improvement. |
| 11:07.16 | Wikiwide | Hmm, so it's not a tracker issue, it may be a strictly DCIM issue? |

| 11:07.29 | Maxdamantus | wrote a small script that moves things into separate directories based on month. |
| 11:08.11 | Maxdamantus | Dunno if tracker contributes to it, but I don't use tracker and I remember having that issue pretty badly until I cleaned out DCIM. |
| 11:10.13 | Maxdamantus | (and by "cleaned out", I just mean moving the files to another directory) |
| 11:10.44 | Maxdamantus | Presumably so camera-ui doesn't have to scan over them or something, dunno. |
| 11:12.33 | Maxdamantus | as for viewing the images again, I use QImageViewer from the repository, which seems to be a lot nicer at dealing with changing directories than the normal "Photos" application. |

| 11:41.24 | DocScrutinizer05 | it might be tracker as well. I'm not sure. But a scenario of swap hell is plausible, when the camera process allocates buffers for the data pending to get written, and the system swaps out stuff to make space for those buffers, but the buffers can only get flushed when the storage bandwidth isn't hogged by the swap process anymore --> deadlock |
| 11:43.04 | DocScrutinizer05 | this is a quite common scenario when a process constantly tries to write data at a rate not available from the system in current state. Swap kicks in and aggravates the situation |
| 11:44.43 | DocScrutinizer05 | a system may run for hours at a IO write rate close to the bandwith limit, and occasionally one other process add a tiny additional load to IO and that makes the whole system going over the top |

| 17:55.57 | sunshavi | Hi on my n900 sms messages just get showed after restart. Seems the service (daemon) rtcom-messaging (whatever) is not running. Any idea how to start the service? |
| 17:57.23 | DocScrutinizer05 | starting manually won't solve any problems |
| 17:58.07 | DocScrutinizer05 | there's a reason (called "problem") why any service isn't running though it usually should |
| 17:58.15 | sunshavi | mmm. this package seems close sourced. So no any pkg for reinstalling it |
| 17:58.37 | sunshavi | flashing my only option? |
| 17:58.57 | DocScrutinizer05 | given the root cause of the problem is completely unclear, yes |
| 17:59.14 | sunshavi | thanks Docscrutinizer05 |
| 17:59.33 | DocScrutinizer05 | though I'd recommend a few other approaches first |
| 17:59.44 | sunshavi | i am all ears |
| 17:59.57 | DocScrutinizer05 | it's not unheard of that weird SMS content made services segfault |
| 17:59.58 | sunshavi | btw i have 2 n900s |
| 18:00.22 | sunshavi | rtcom-messaging-ui dissapeared from the phone root partition |
| 18:00.37 | sunshavi | i have cp'd files from the second n900 |
| 18:01.19 | sunshavi | this rt-messaging-ui is web based. would be nice a gtk one |
| 18:02.45 | sunshavi | those messages that r not showed (they are stored on my phone) (or the cellular provider has them stored)? |
| 18:02.55 | DocScrutinizer05 | also a "ls -l /home/user/.rtcom-eventlogger/el-v1.db" might be worth it |

| 18:09.47 | DocScrutinizer05 | http://paste.opensuse.org/17050890 |
| 18:09.53 | DocScrutinizer05 | ^^^ for reference |
| 18:10.24 | DocScrutinizer05 | so reboot, then send test SMS |
| 18:11.49 | DocScrutinizer05 | I guess /home/user/.rtcom-messaging-ui/draft.db might be the template for el-v1.db |
| 18:11.51 | sunshavi | i do not have locate installed. should i install it? |
| 18:12.28 | DocScrutinizer05 | nah, a find / -name '*rtcom-messaging-ui*' -ls will do |
| 18:12.46 | DocScrutinizer05 | will take ages though |
| 18:13.59 | DocScrutinizer05 | and actually it doesn't provide much relevant info to you that is not already in http://paste.opensuse.org/17050890 |
| 18:14.13 | DocScrutinizer05 | ~pkg |
| 18:14.13 | infobot | i guess pkg is http://maemo.org/packages/ |

| 18:18.29 | DocScrutinizer05 | you got /usr/bin/rtcom-messaging-ui and /usr/bin/rtcom-messaging-ui.launch |
| 18:19.38 | DocScrutinizer05 | this looks suspicious: /home/user/MyDocs/downloads/rtcom-messaging-ui.tgz |
| 18:21.12 | sunshavi | that is the one i brought from my other n900 phone |
| 18:21.19 | sunshavi | http://termbin.com/wmlh |
| 18:21.45 | sunshavi | do you have the deb pkg? |
| 18:22.05 | DocScrutinizer05 | it's in repo |
| 18:22.53 | DocScrutinizer05 | seems sth messed up your system thoroughly, though |
| 18:23.30 | DocScrutinizer05 | no idea how it can be "not installed" on your N900 |
| 18:23.43 | sunshavi | mmm. the repo urls are in /etc/...? |
| 18:23.57 | DocScrutinizer05 | the repo urls are in HAM |
| 18:24.02 | DocScrutinizer05 | ~jrrepos |
| 18:24.02 | infobot | jrrepos is, like, http://maemo.cloud-7.de/maemo5/et_al/HAM-catalogs/ |
| 18:31.30 | DocScrutinizer05 | you're not, by any mishap, using fapman? |

| 18:32.49 | sunshavi | probably yes, my root partition was full |
| 18:33.05 | sunshavi | this n900 has a broken screen |
| 18:33.21 | sunshavi | looking for the command for opening an url from cli on my notes |
| 18:34.17 | DocScrutinizer05 | hmm ouch. Than won't help since HAM will ask you to nod off, after you clicked the URL |
| 18:34.27 | DocScrutinizer05 | Taht* |

| 18:34.52 | sunshavi | found it |
| 18:36.01 | DocScrutinizer05 | ~fapman |
| 18:36.01 | infobot | i guess fapman is Faster Application Manager, a frontend for apt which uses own repositories catalog, and shouldn't be used to do system upgrades (like CSSU), or actually for anything since ~speedyHAM. It also does "apt-get autoremove" after every operation, by default. In short, it's been identified as source of system corruption and thus deprecated, or see ~hamvsfam |
