17:31.35sicelosomething weird is happening on my other N900. It's switched off, but will turn on the backlight every so often (as if it will turn on), and then off again
17:32.22siceloif i boot it, all seems well. i wonder what's going on
17:35.41KotCzarnyyou have a virus!
17:35.42KotCzarny:)
17:37.19sixwheeledbeast^some alarm or cronjob maybe?
17:38.03KotCzarnydo they work in fakedead?
17:38.07sicelono. it's not even waking up fully. it just lights up backlight with  nothing on screen, and then turns off a while later
17:38.13sixwheeledbeast^I believed so
17:38.28siceloand the cycle goes on
17:38.52sixwheeledbeast^tried charging it?
17:38.56KotCzarnydying power button?\
17:39.05sicelobattery is full
17:40.42sixwheeledbeast^take the battery out for a bit?
17:40.45siceloif power button had issues, then i'd be having the system menu keep popping up in fremantle, i think
17:41.05KotCzarnyhow often it happens?
17:41.13sicelosixwheeledbeast^: i did. as soon as the battery makes contact, the backlight comes on
17:41.46siceloi only noticed it an hour or so ago, with device having been untouched for at least 2 days
17:42.39siceloi guess for the time being i'll keep the device switched on :p
17:42.39sixwheeledbeast^My device powers up on battery insertion.
17:43.20sicelosixwheeledbeast^: without pressing power button? that sounds ... unusual. or i'm mistaken?
17:43.53sixwheeledbeast^IDK I have a device that does and one that doesn't
17:44.07sixwheeledbeast^never been an issue
17:44.12*** join/#maemo drathir_tor (~drathir@gateway/tor-sasl/drathir)
17:45.48KotCzarnyjust checked on mine, taking out/reinserting doesnt trigger anything
17:45.52KotCzarnyshould stay dark
17:45.58sixwheeledbeast^~boot-process
17:45.58infobotmethinks boot-process is http://wiki.maemo.org/Maemo_5_boot_process
17:46.07KotCzarnyi still suggest something about power button or flex cable
17:46.12KotCzarnysome short
17:46.19KotCzarnybut intermittent
17:47.00KotCzarnymaybe some goo, humidation, nature starting a nest
17:47.06sicelothat sounds plausible KotCzarny. but, when booted, all is normal. if i power down, then it starts :)
17:47.30KotCzarnyhow often it happens when powered off?
17:47.52sicelosince i observed it the first time, it's consistent now
17:47.59KotCzarnybut how often
17:47.59sixwheeledbeast^as you can see dbus and alarmd are active while in act_dead, if something is triggering them the system may try to boot I imagine?
17:48.01KotCzarnyseconds/minutes
17:49.28KotCzarnyswb: cron might be the thing, if it really is active during poweroff
17:50.16sixwheeledbeast^I am pretty sure alarms wake the device up in act dead it's been a while but I recall testing it.
17:51.06siceloalarms do wake up the device (no idea about cron, which isn't part of maemo). however, alarms wake it up and show the alarm, and later a prompt to power up or down
17:51.49KotCzarnytry pressing power button few times and sliding screen too
17:51.54KotCzarnymaybe it clears up
17:52.28sixwheeledbeast^Does maemo have logs from act_dead state in dmesg or /var ?
19:11.11sicelohere's a (silly?) problem i have,
19:11.14sicelohttps://paste.ubuntu.com/p/9YGffBydbN/
19:11.41sicelothe android phone runs a hotspot, to which laptop is connected (for internet)
19:13.39siceloi have a second ip address on the laptop (172.x). i need the Android to reach a service (radicale/caldav) on the laptop via that address. Android is not rooted, but i do have ssh client & server.
19:13.52sicelowould there be a way to get this done :)
19:14.26KotCzarnyvpn?
19:14.27KotCzarny:)
19:14.37KotCzarnythen add default route via that vpn
19:15.03KotCzarnybut its internal address
19:15.05KotCzarnyso hmm
19:17.57siceloanyway, maybe i shouldn't be lazy. let me just get out a wifi router and create a proper 172.18.64.0/24 network
19:19.47siceloin the meantime, the N900 has somehow stabilized. i don't know what to make of it. anyway, it's sitting peacuflly now and i won't disturb it :p
19:20.02KotCzarnyi still bet on hw
19:20.56siceloit's possible.
19:27.41siceloandroid :(
19:28.44siceloso with laptop as hotspot, android won't sync with my radicale instance because there's no internet access.
19:28.49siceloso much trouble
19:31.53siceloalthough, i was also dumb to use IP address when setting up the caldav client (DavX5)
19:59.41siceloyay, tinyproxy (on laptop) to the rescue
