tmlindgordon1: sounds like keyboard issue could happen at any point, not just boot. seeing the oops from uart would be good, you could also try to configure pstore like we have for droid4 m-l kernel08:25
rei2hi everybody08:51
rei2i have a question about n900, can i ask it here?08:52
uvosWizzup: nice09:14
Wizzuprei2: sure09:55
rei2how is battery usage on this phone? are there new batteries made for this phone by 3rd-parties?10:06
uvosrei2: very very bad currently on leste, yes there are polarcells they are fairly new.10:08
rei2uvos: oh, what about CSSU?10:09
uvosrei2: great but cssu is abandonware and cant connect to modern ssl sites for instance10:10
uvosbut ask others about freemantle i have used it for like 1h total...10:11
rei2oh, ssl should not be a problem :)10:11
uvosare you intending to buy a n900?10:12
rei2i'm just looking for a <4.5 inch phone with keyboard which does not run android.10:12
rei2all i want is irc and pdf reader and a music player, nothing else.10:13
uvosif you can strech your size requirement just a tiny bit a droid 4 with leste dose everything you ask10:14
uvosand has good powermanagment and is much mucht faster than a n90010:14
uvosand often cheeper too10:14
uvosits 130x70x13 ish mm10:15
rei2droid4 is nice, but it is harder to find in my place and ~5 times more expensive.10:16
uvoswhere is "my place" if i may ask10:16
rei2iran.10:16
uvosok10:17
uvoswell n900 and droid 4 are pretty mutch the only devices that fit you bill so10:19
uvosn900 it mus be in this case10:20
rei2uvos: thanks a lot.10:24
freemangordonWizzup: do I get it right that I shall check "RSN" for wpa2/eap and "WPA" for wpa. Also, how do I detect wep?15:43
freemangordonbasically this is all I need, so maybe code sharing is not a good option15:43
Wizzupfreemangordon: you keep saying that ;-) I think all the code that does this is also in wpaicd15:44
freemangordonyes, but it does way more than that15:45
Wizzuphttps://github.com/maemo-leste/libicd-network-wpasupplicant/blob/master/src/wpaicd.c#L69515:45
freemangordonok :)15:45
diejuseuvos: where can I buy a Droid4?16:18
gordon1second that question16:19
Wizzupebay has them usually16:19
diejuseI have I have read a part of the conversation from a few hours ago but I disconnected.16:19
Wizzupif you plan to help our with kernel dev and/or maemo leste dev and are in europe, I can ship one16:19
Wizzups/our with/out with/16:19
diejuseWizzup:  Thanks but don't worry. I don't know if I am qualified to help you with the kernel.16:21
uvosdiejuse: ebay us has them with internatinal shipping occasionally16:21
uvosdiejuse: other than that you will need a friend in us to ship it over.16:22
Wizzupdiejuse: well, testers are also welcome, just let me know16:23
diejuseWizzup: I am an intensive tester, yes XD Thank you, I will ask you if I find it difficult to get one :)16:26
Wizzupsure thing16:27
diejuseWhat bothers me most about these older devices is the short battery life. I love its physical keyboard layout though. How long does the Droid 4 last with Maemo Leste installed?16:28
Wizzupdiejuse: with maemo leste installed 1-2 days with modem on, but we should get to more than that16:28
diejusewtf wow16:29
uvosdroid bionic dose way better16:29
uvosi get 5+ days regularly16:29
uvos(doing nothing with it but ssh in sometimes and with modem on and wifi connected)16:29
diejuseThat is incredible! With intensive use does it last that long?16:29
uvosno not very16:29
uvosscreen on time is farly short maybe 4+5h on my d4 with the very good battery16:30
uvosand about the same on the bionic with the old extended battery16:30
uvosthats realy use16:30
uvosmostly browsing and some telegram use and playing Simon Tatham's Portable Puzzle Collection16:31
diejuseI understand, that seems to me more normal numbers.16:31
uvosso 4h of active use16:31
uvosnormaly lasts 1 day of mixed usage easy16:32
WizzupIt should get better with OFF mode for omap416:32
Wizzupbut yeah :)16:32
diejuse1 day is fine16:32
Daanct12How long will GPS get a fix on the N900?16:33
uvosuntill battery runs out :P16:33
uvosyou mean how long it takes?16:33
uvoswe dont do agps atm so can be several minutes16:33
WizzupDaanct12: depends on how many sattelites are visible, on the n900, gps3.c is also required16:34
WizzupI am not sure if we have that configured already.16:34
uvosafaik we do16:34
Wizzupok16:34
uvosdevel at least16:34
Wizzupgoing to try that now16:34
Daanct12AGPS is greyed out for me16:34
Wizzupyeah, agps is not supported atm16:35
parazydWizzup: I set up the N900 gps16:38
parazydIt should work fine16:38
Wizzupok16:39
Wizzupparazyd: is location-status and such already in the meta pkg?16:40
parazydWe have hildon-connectivity-location as meta16:41
Wizzupok16:42
parazydYou _might_ need to install gps-nokia-n900 by hand16:42
parazydI forgot if I included it or not16:43
parazydThis is gps3.c16:43
mighty17[m]how can i put the powervr blobs in device?17:36
buZzthey're already included in the images17:36
mighty17[m]from https://git.ti.com/cgit/graphics/omap5-sgx-ddk-um-linux/?h=ti-img-sgx/zeus/1.17.494895717:36
mighty17[m]buZz: not in n900, i have another device17:37
buZzoh, then no clue :)17:37
buZzafaik took ~a year before we got em working for droid4 :)17:37
mighty17[m]I have the same omap4430 as d4 :D17:38
buZznice, why not just grab the d4 image then?17:39
mighty17[m]Also there are packages for it in pmOS but nothing for debian :(17:39
buZzpowervr is internal to omap , is it not?17:39
Wizzupmighty17[m]: what do you mean, 'put the powervr blobs in device' ?17:39
buZzi guess looking for a 'apt install powervr-drivers' or something17:40
mighty17[m]Wizzup I made kernel using linux_openpvrsgx repo now I need userspace blobs don't I?17:40
uvosmighty17[m]: you should be able to just install the leste driver package from leste17:40
uvosif you have the kernelspace merged17:40
uvosmighty17[m]:  kernelspace: https://github.com/tmlind/linux_openpvrsgx.git17:41
uvosdroid4-pending-* branch17:41
uvosnote that the leste package only works with up to and including 5.1117:42
mighty17[m]Yup I have it https://github.com/MightyM17/linux_openpvrsgx and would like to use 1.17 for wayland17:42
uvosthen grabing the files from the ti repo above is enough17:43
mighty17[m]Just cp it in respective space in the device right?17:43
uvosyes17:44
mighty17[m]For bin it'll be /usr/bin and so on17:44
mighty17[m]Thanks a lot!17:44
uvosyou can also use https://github.com/IMbackK/pvr-omap417:45
uvosand https://github.com/IMbackK/mesa/tree/mesa-pvr-meamo17:45
uvosif you wan to use the hybrid mesa17:45
uvosthose are deban packages17:45
uvosbut you have to build them yourself17:45
mighty17[m]Thanks! Will look into them17:48
mighty17[m]<uvos "and https://github.com/IMbackK/m"> Isn't this 1.9ddk?17:48
uvosno17:48
uvosthis is bits of ddk 1.17 with mesa with chromeos patches17:48
mighty17[m]Oh that's great thanks! So build and cp files ?17:49
uvosthey are packaged17:49
uvosjust build the debian packages and install them17:49
mighty17[m]<uvos "just build the debian packages a"> I don't think I can build them on device17:56
mighty17[m]Or I can set the DESTDIR to the device18:03
uvosmighty17[m]: no you have to build mesa for armv7 ofc18:16
uvosshould be fine to do on device18:17
mighty17[m]<uvos "should be fine to do on device"> the point is, the ui (phosh) might not load without mesa, and usb doesnt work18:20
uvosssh?18:29
mighty17[m]<uvos "ssh?"> ssh via wifi? lol i need ui to enable wifi and for ui i need mesa!18:32
mighty17[m]usb somehow magically broke18:32
uvosyou can just configure wpa_supplicant to auto connect to your ap by pushing a file....18:33
uvosi wouldent bother with pvr untill the rest of the system works to the point that you can have a interactive shell on device at least...18:34
bencohsame18:34
uvosalso iirc phosh dosent work on pvr18:38
uvosat least it dident for me when i tried it18:38
buZzif you arent running maemo to begin with , why not just use wicd for wireless config18:43
buZzoh, because maybe eventually that pmos takes it over?18:43
buZzyou dont want networkmanager fights on device, they are bad for batterylife18:44
mighty17[m]<uvos "also iirc phosh dosent work on p"> in pmOS it does20:52
mighty17[m]https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/File:Mainline-phosh-espressowifi.png20:52
mighty17[m]but maemo has older pvr ddk20:53
uvosmighty17[m]: no it dident work with ddk 1.1720:54
mighty17[m]worked for me in pmOS20:54
uvosbut that was quite some time ago lots of wayland compositors added changes to fix problems with pvr20:54
uvoslike eg. sway/wlroots etc20:54
mighty17[m]<uvos "mighty17: no it dident work with"> iirc u need patched wlroots20:54
uvosright20:55
uvosso id dosent just work ;)20:55
mighty17[m]<uvos "right"> https://github.com/openpvrsgx-devgroup/linux_openpvrsgx/issues/420:55
uvosmighty17[m]: yes we know20:56
uvosthat was debugged here more or less :P20:56
mighty17[m]yeah its kinda hacky but works tm20:56
mighty17[m]<uvos "that was debugged here more or l"> oh nice20:56
mighty17[m]till when will powervr users have to use complicated methods :(20:57
bencohtill powervr-based chips are no longer used I guess22:14
L29Ah17:35:51]<Wizzup> yeah, agps is not supported atm22:20
L29Ahis AGPS done in software or by the GPS hardware itself btw?22:20
WizzupL29Ah: it depends on the device, but for both d4 and n900 we need to upload the data to the modem in some way22:23
Wizzupand they have different ways of downloading the almanac I think22:23
uvosso are the issues around conndialog/icd2 failing to connect untill you reopen all dialogs fixed?22:36
uvosand failing to connect in various other ways wpa_supplicant by itself never dose22:36
Wizzupuvos: the former, maybe, depending on freemangordon's fixes22:40
uvosno its still there22:42
uvosto bad :(22:42
freemangordonuvos: which one?22:42
freemangordon"first connect attempt always fails"?22:42
uvosfreemangordon: boot d4 and first connect fails with icd222:42
uvosfreemangordon: never dose with wpa_supplicant22:43
uvosfreemangordon: yeah22:43
Wizzupfreemangordon: the bug iirc is: try to connect to ap via dialog, it fails, you click try again, and then it never succeeds until you close dialog and start over22:43
uvosthat too22:43
uvosonce its failed22:43
uvosyou have to close everything or it will never suceee22:43
freemangordonok, this is the next in the list to check, after I finish hidden wlan support in the dialog (maybe I will be ready today with it)22:43
freemangordonbut yeah, I'll definitely look into that22:44
uvosok22:44
freemangordonmost-probable some RE bug22:44
uvoswas just checking if this was something that should be fixed allready22:44
freemangordonyeah22:45
uvosalso connection to umts data is even more unreliable22:45
uvosi have to make like 10 attempts before it works22:45
uvosbut i that may not be related at all22:45
freemangordonlets fix wlan first :)22:45
uvosyeah22:46
Wizzupuvos: connections to umts do not wait for active state to change22:46
Wizzupso it's expected that it will fail right away (and yes I intend to fix it soon)22:46
uvosWizzup: ok22:47
Wizzupif you set it to active manually from cmdline, you'll see that the ui interaction nmever fails22:47
uvosi think the wlan problem is because the d4 wlan fw sometimes crashes22:47
Wizzupthere are some cases where even from cmdline it doesn't work and ofono will get into a bad state wrt the modem22:47
Wizzupit will say the dbus call timed out22:47
uvoswpa_supplicant just tryies again in this case22:47
uvosbut icd2 enters this unrecoverable state22:47
uvos(untill dialogs are closed)22:47
uvosWizzup: ok22:48
uvosWizzup: good to know that you know22:48
Wizzupuvos: it's a super silly bug22:49
freemangordonyay, it works :)22:59
uvosfreemangordon: hmm?22:59
Wizzupfreemangordon: hidden ap? yay22:59
freemangordonyes, hidden wlan23:00
WizzupI got an IP8 bag for bringing a phone in water, would be fun to swim with gps...23:21
Wizzup"IPX 8"23:21
freemangordonWizzup: could you please upgrade and test if connecting to hidden wlan from the wizard works for you?23:26
Wizzupusing easy-wlan?23:26
freemangordonyes23:27
Wizzupok, momentarily23:27
freemangordonmake sure to delete the saved entry first23:27
uvosand yet gpsrecorder has niche means of transport like "zeppelin" "tuk tuk" "donky" "camel" "pony" but not swimming...23:28
Wizzupuvos: requesting a feature23:28
uvosWizzup: hehe23:28
uvossome of thise are just absurd why do we have "barge" "ship" "boat" "ferry" and "sailing boat", is it really important what kind of boat it was :P23:30
uvoshonestly the means of transport list sounds like someones bucketlist23:30
freemangordonWizzup: hmm, seems I introduced a little bug, lemme fix it first23:32
