Wizzup@guest24, freemangordon: https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=1574547&posted=1#post157454700:40
buZzvoicecalls -should- work on latest -devel on d4, right?00:40
WizzupbuZz: yup00:41
Wizzupuvos: btw, I think we need some hildonisation of missed calls, I didn't realise I had missed calls ;)00:41
Wizzupfreemangordon: re: ringtones, yeah, I think we can just ship it, if we host from maemo.org (?)00:52
Wizzupfreemangordon: in any case I don't think it's a big deal00:52
Wizzupwe can also make a replacements package, but I think it'd be nice to have it avail00:52
Daanct12joerg: interestingly, maemo forum flagged my ip as a bad bot somehow lol05:23
Daanct12sorry for the wrong ping if this isn't the right person :)05:24
joergDaanct12: the forum uses its own noforumspam stuff. I don't know details how to get unbanned, except by "changing your IP"06:22
buZzwe have a forum?06:23
buZzoh maemo.org i guess06:23
joergtalk.maemo.org I guess06:24
Daanct12weird, it seems to have unbanned me06:24
Daanct12yup, talk.maemo.org06:24
buZz:)06:24
Daanct12i guess my tablet\ was cursed then06:24
buZzmany leste users there?06:24
Daanct12i'm going to count myself as one :)06:24
buZzhehe06:24
buZztyping this on my d4 on -devel06:25
Daanct12i got another n900 for a good deal, unfortunately the open/close cover is kinda broken so it's always in the keyboard mode06:25
Daanct12:(06:25
Daanct12at least it still has the sd card magnet, so that's cool06:25
buZzget a d4, man :)06:25
Daanct12i will :)06:25
Daanct12but06:26
Daanct12i have a fxtec pro1 and 1x as well06:26
Daanct12i can hear Wizzup noise06:26
* joerg wonders where to find some ultra-tiny magnet for a replacement. It seems it's _always_ the magnet that got lost06:26
joergwait, when it's always in kbd mode then I have a very good idea where the magnet must be06:27
joerg;-)06:27
Daanct12is it the motherboard?06:28
Daanct12i removed the back cover, it's still doing that06:28
Daanct12so i dont think it's the sd card magnet06:28
joergyes, there's a hall-switch on the PCB, iirc above the O key06:28
Daanct12damn, that's really complicated construction lol06:29
joergthe magnet is supposed to stick in a "bay" on the bottom side of the display slide06:30
Daanct12no wonder why they the thing was too expensive back in the day and they had to cut some cost with the n906:30
Daanct12joerg: hmm, so you said that the magnet was most likely misaligned?06:31
joergI think the magnet got loose from the display slide and sits near the hall-sensor now06:32
Daanct12i dont want to disassemble another n900 :) i already caused some noise issue to the touch screen06:32
Daanct12on my other n90006:32
Daanct12joerg: hmm, then it's most likely what happened06:33
Daanct12that make sense06:33
joergdisclaimer: all this is 10 years old possibly foggy memories. I might be wrong regarding the magnet's fixation on display slide06:34
Daanct12well i'm just going to leave it in kb mode then06:34
Daanct12i still hate plugging back that display flex cable, i think i most likely have damaged that cable in process06:35
Daanct12which pretty much caused the noise issue06:35
joergbtdt06:35
joergthat connector is a bitch, and broken by design06:36
joergI ruined my first N900 exactly same way you probably did: broken flex cable connector or more specifically I suspect the vias there are the culprit06:38
Daanct12i guess that issue could've been got rid of if they just use metal contacts or something06:40
Daanct12which, is not possible with that design06:40
Daanct12i still dont think you can find brand new flex cable on ali :(06:41
Daanct12anyway, Wizzup i got a pro1 and 1x :)06:46
Daanct12i think im going to boot leste on it06:46
Daanct12very soon06:46
Daanct12joerg: btw, my other n900 isn't exactly ruined, but it has noise on the screen that shows up when you move the cursor on the middle top of the display06:47
Daanct12so i dont use it for leste, and stick with fremantle for the touch apps06:48
joergyes, I had display artifacts as well, green lines and garbled display06:55
joergafk, cya06:57
Daanct12cya, gn06:57
tmlindmighty17[m]: yeah so if you add a new driver, you should also add yourself to the maintainers file, that's a separate patch07:40
tmlindmighty17[m]: i'd also stay away from the renames for the same reason as discussed on the list, and additionally they also add extra dependencies for getting your other real changes merged :)07:42
_uvos_Wizzup: more like fix hildons notifiy implementation10:09
_uvos_its there but somehow very broken10:09
_uvos_libnotify clients dont work, but randomly some others do10:10
_uvos_like gpodder10:10
Wizzup_uvos_: hm, it works well in modest it looks like10:10
WizzupI don't know what specific problem(s) you're referring to10:10
_uvos_hildon implements a interface with xdgs notify names10:11
_uvos_but they dont behave right10:11
_uvos_breaking spec apps10:11
_uvos_also not everything is implemented at all10:11
_uvos_even for the earliest spec10:11
_uvos_modest probubly dose special things to get it to work10:12
_uvos_but as stated some desktop apps also work10:13
_uvos_like gpodder10:13
Wizzupit looked like hildon_banner_show_information would do it10:14
Wizzupyeah sure it does special things10:14
_uvos_well fixing the xdg interface would bring more joy10:14
_uvos_and would ot only make sphone work10:14
_uvos_*not10:14
Wizzupit's not the banner btw, let me find some other examples10:14
_uvos_i know10:15
_uvos_try gpodder10:15
_uvos_it dose a persitant xdg notification10:15
Wizzupso the gpodder window turns yellow?10:15
_uvos_that dose work10:15
Wizzupin the overview?10:15
_uvos_no but it gets a special window and blue hildon button and so on10:15
_uvos_and it uses the xdg interface10:16
_uvos_useing the same interface via libnotify is broken10:16
_uvos_and i tried driveing it via dbus-send and its quite broken10:16
WizzupI think h-d implements an interface that works, but probably not the new one10:16
WizzupI confirmed the maemo one works for sure10:17
_uvos_it also implements the generic one10:21
_uvos_sorta10:21
_uvos_imo i proving that makes more sense than pushing the nih one10:22
_uvos_*improving10:22
Wizzupthe 'nih' one did work fine for over 10 years10:33
Wizzupif it's functionally the same, then sure, it makes sense10:33
Wizzupif it's not functionally the same then that's a problem10:33
freemangordon_uvos_: I think hildon implements correctly the reported version12:25
freemangordonmaybe we shall implement newer version, but that's another story12:26
freemangordonBTW, this is not that bad idea, I may work on that12:26
freemangordonit should be relatively easy for implementation12:26
freemangordonso, I think those that are broken, just assume the implemented specs version, without verifying12:27
freemangordonmight be wrong though12:27
freemangordon_uvos_: could you point me to what exactly libnotify call is broke?12:34
freemangordon*broken12:34
freemangordonmaybe I shall just use libnotify tests12:38
freemangordonand compare ubuntu<->leste12:38
Wizzupfreemangordon: right but for example the yellow window indication something happened14:01
Wizzupfreemangordon: sphone doesn't even keep a window open for it14:01
Wizzupso I don't think that relates to h-d implementing some notifications14:02
freemangordonWizzup: you mean that sphone doesn't have visible window?14:02
freemangordonI don;t think it is necessary14:03
freemangordonlike, it might assume that notification server implements "actions" or somesuch14:03
freemangordonsee, I am not saying that hildon is at fault14:03
freemangordondo you know shpone code that calls libnotify?14:04
freemangordondo you know which code is that14:04
freemangordonumm...14:06
freemangordonI don;t think sphone uses libnotify at all14:06
Wizzupfreemangordon: I think to see a missed call there needs to be a window showing you missed one14:07
Wizzupno?14:07
freemangordonsure14:07
freemangordonbut that window is created by hildon itsel14:07
freemangordonitself14:07
freemangordonyou just need to tell hildon to show it :)14:08
freemangordonWizzup: https://github.com/maemo-leste/hildon-home/blob/master/src/test-notifications.py14:09
Wizzupok14:10
freemangordonnow I see sphone does not call libnotify, I am not sure what _uvos_ have in mind14:11
freemangordonI thought it calls it but there are issues14:11
freemangordonobviously that's not the case14:11
Wizzupin any case, my remark was just on the fact that I didn't notice my mom called me :)14:12
Wizzupalso the date for the missed calls is 1970-01-0114:59
Wizzupfreemangordon: do you know how to long different evolution server data sources15:14
Wizzuphow to list15:14
Wizzupfreemangordon: I will import maemo-ringtones-mr0_1.1+0m5_all.deb then?15:23
Wizzupalso I wonder if it makes sense to make some other repo or so for all the imported packages15:23
sicelore:1970 missed calls - your ancestors calling. 😃15:36
Wizzupso abook is .local/share/evolution/addressbook/system/contacts.db ?16:31
Wizzup_uvos_: have you tried to see if the .aac tunes plan?16:52
Wizzups/plan/play/16:52
Wizzuplooks like it works with gst-launch16:55
Wizzupfreemangordon: maemo-ringtones-mr0 is in the repos, I'll add it to a meta pkg18:06
buZzlately it seems, receiving a call or SMS gets my modem completely unable to re-online itself :(18:42
buZzuntil i reboot18:42
buZzrestarting ofono and/or icd2 has no result18:42
buZzoh, it does after waiting some time18:43
buZzat least, appear as 2G icon18:43
buZzyeah not sure , that 'lately it seems' must have been something else18:43
buZz(oh, i swapped my d4s)18:43
_uvos_freemangordon: i have a private branch with a notify module. ill dig it up some time, but thats not the point20:01
_uvos_the point is libnotifys own utils dont work20:01
_uvos_and i checked the dbus interfaces by hand and they dident work as expected an where very incompleat20:01
_uvos_sure this may be because they where written before the 1.0 release of the spec20:02
_uvos_buzz: please check if the version of the modem fw is the same20:02
buZzsure, how?20:02
_uvos_there is a way to check this on leste via the modem if20:03
_uvos_but i dont qute remember rn20:03
_uvos_maybe just boot android20:03
buZzi'll dig later20:03
buZzurf :)20:03
_uvos_it shows in the settings ap20:03
_uvos_app20:03
_uvos_Wizzup: mces timeouts most deffinatly work fine for me20:04
_uvos_could you please report what the issue was there20:04
_uvos_and if you still observe this problem20:04
_uvos_besides the known problem in systemui20:05
sicelobuZz, _uvos_ - i suppose ofono's GetProperties on the modem should show firmware version20:18
buZzbtw, lately on diskIO (SD io) i seem to be hitting a lot of hanging/timeouts20:18
buZzbut no errors in dmesg20:18
buZzjust a 'stuck' xterm on stuff like 'ls'20:19
buZztakes 5-10 seconds, then just continues like nothing wrong20:19
buZzi'll try using a different SD card soonish (this one is just 16GB , getting a bit too small)20:19
* buZz checks if 128GB microsd is still 10 euro :P20:21
buZz16.99 , meh20:21
buZz:P20:21
buZzi guess https://www.dataio.nl/sandisk-ultra-micro-sdhc-32gb-uhs-i-a1-u1/20:23
Wizzupuvos: I reported earlier that I can see the timeouts work22:10
Wizzupuvos: one or two days ago22:10
Wizzupuvos: btw there's the rtcom branch for sphone when you have some time22:10
freemangordonuvos: I am almost sure v1.0 of the interface is implemented correctly. I f you find a bug, please LMK how to repro22:46
freemangordonand I'll fix it22:46
freemangordonand I think it is more productive to be more precise, like, instead of saying "Nokians are stupid, hildon is FUBAR and the end of the is near", just explain what exactly does not work or file an issue22:48
freemangordon*the end of the world22:48
Wizzupwell there's many bugs, it is hard to always be precise :)22:51
freemangordonagree22:59
freemangordonanyway, re libnotify - I will start executing all of its tests on leste and fix/implement whatever needed23:03
freemangordonthat spec is not really a rocket science23:03
freemangordonalso, what are those "known problems in systemui"? They are not known to me, otherwise I would have already fixed them. Could you file issues?23:06
freemangordonand assign them to me23:07
_uvos_Wizzup: with the date23:08
_uvos_sphone just takes the date that ofono provides23:09
_uvos_maybe something is wrong specifcily with missed calles23:09
_uvos_ofono likely logs/can be set to log calls itself23:10
_uvos_that would be helpfull to see where the issue is comeing from23:10
Wizzup_uvos_: are you seeing the same?23:10
