sunshaviKotCzarny: NTFS seems to have unstability compared with fat32. It is giving me something like "bad sectors when mounting it".02:08
duudeis anyone online?05:14
brolin_empeyduude: No. ;-)05:15
duudeit seems so05:17
duudeby any chance, is there a way to mute the load sound n900 makes when booting?05:18
Maxdamantussunshavi: maybe that's because NTFS can detect bad sectors and FAT can't.06:15
Maxdamantus(dunno what NTFS' bad sector behaviour is, but I would expect it is better at maintaining integrity than FAT)06:16
sunshaviMaxdamantus: brand new disk, with fat32 everything was most of the time stable. but with NTFS. I needed to mount it on win32 for fixing the issue about the bad sector.06:19
Maxdamantussunshavi: what's the other NTFS implementation you're using? ntfs-3g, or the one in the Linux kernel? Probably shouldn't use the latter.06:54
brolin_empeyduude: I have not tried it but maybe you can rename/move or delete the sound file(s) played while booting (software solution) or connect a 3.5-mm plug to something else (2.5-mm or dual RCA or maybe something else) adapter to the AV connector without anything connected to the other end(s) of the adapter (hardware solution)?07:00
brolin_empeyI know I silenced the focus and fake shutter sound effects used by the camera application on Maemo 5 by renaming the sound files or maybe replacing the sound files with empty files or silent sound files, was too many years ago for me to remember the specific method.07:02
brolin_empeyI still remember information such as my home address in 1992 and earlier, though, so it is not as if I cannot remember information from only 2010 at the earliest.  My memory is usually very good.07:08
Maxdamantusduude: it's called "nokia hands". iirc there's a .avi file somewhere in Maemo which you can just delete.07:22
MaxdamantusI don't think I can find it on my system, probably because I deleted it ages ago.07:24
duudeis it normal that it takes ages(like two hours) just to charge 10%?07:41
brolin_empeyMaxdamantus: I guess duude can just run “# find / -iname '*.avi'” to find the relevant file?07:44
Maxdamantusbrolin_empey: yes, I think so.07:45
brolin_empeyOr “$ locate -i '*.avi'” if Maemo uses updatedb and locate;  I do not remember if it does.  Does it?07:45

duudehow much does a healthy n900 take to get full07:49
duudein terms of battery charge07:51
KotCzarnyduude: check: 1/ different charger, 2/ different cable, 3/ if some app isnt using cpu when idle07:58
KotCzarnymy n900 charges from 0 to 100 in ~1.5-2.5h07:58
duudeok the battery is degraded07:59
KotCzarnyif you have some usb power meter you can check if its charger/cable problem07:59
duudeCould the TV cable be made DIY?08:02
KotCzarnytv cable is like 1-2 bucks08:07
KotCzarnycheck any electronics store nearby, should have one08:08
duudeno, the n90008:08
duudei mean the cable that got in the n900 phone plug and could connect it to the TV, i wasn't aware it was bundled with the phone and forgot to get it from the previous owner08:10
* enyc meows!08:10
KotCzarnyi know08:11
KotCzarnyits the very simple cable that isnt n900's specific08:11
KotCzarnyin the worst you can swap colors on the cinch side08:11
KotCzarnyyou can use any minijack -- 3x cinch08:12
sunshaviMaxdamantus: udisksctl mount -b /dev/sdc108:13
sunshavithen i should change on using mount.ntfs. I am going to try it next time08:15
sixwheeledbeastI don't believe there is much special about the TV out cable. I found one from an old camcorder the phonos are all the wrong colours but it works.08:18
sixwheeledbeastthey also shipped them with old compact internet tv boxes before they switched to HDMI.08:20
enyc=me meows!08:33
sicelosixwheeledbeast: the N900 one you were lucky. the one from Next Thing Co. CHIP doesn't work on N900, although it works for nearly everything else i tried08:55
KotCzarnysicelo, huh?08:55
KotCzarnyjust swap yellow and red?08:56
siceloiirc i tried that and didn't work ... otoh, it's been a while maybe i'm mixing things out08:57
KotCzarnyunless they moved the shield on minijack.. but no one does that08:58
siceloiirc n900 didn't even detect the cable as tv-out08:58
KotCzarnys/shield/ground/08:58
infobotKotCzarny meant: unless they moved the ground on minijack.. but no one does that08:58
KotCzarnythe cable from xunlong/orangepi is the same pinout as n900's08:59
siceloi see09:01
KotCzarnyadding bs=128k to dd commands help sometimes09:01
KotCzarnyerm, wrong chan09:01
