it will enable mic bias even if there is no mic
<freemangordon>
I have to implement HS MIC detection for that to work properly

(just for the record) disabling wifi powersaving mode increase battery life and idle (around 15mA) lol
<arno11>
on n900 that is
<arno11>
oops i mean increasing battery life and improving idle
<arno11>
can't remember if powersaving is enable by default
<sicelo>
it is
<arno11>
ah ok
<sicelo>
what's the standby current draw now?
<arno11>
around 55
<arno11>
68 with power saving
<sicelo>
anyway the benefits of the power saving setting are highly dependent on the AP configuration, so not too surprising if it's not helping most of the time
<arno11>
ok
<sicelo>
nice fine
<sicelo>

<Wizzup>
on lab psu it def. deemed to help to enable powersaving

maybe you use mosh or something?

nope nothing particular
<sicelo>
for some reason i can't find the reference that had a lot of details about power saving, especially in connection with N900. i *think* it was on the maemo wiki, but can't find it now
<freemangordon>
that results in "/usr/lib/dkms/dkms_autoinstaller start 6.6.36"

calendar is really the only overlap I got with your use case, I believe. I managed to install syncevolution, but have not investigated how to configure it yet.
<sicelo>
what are your own use cases (or needs)?
<pere>
I am trying to find out if it can be useful to me, and showing a copy of my ical servers calendar info and address book might be useful. and I am considering it as a ebook reader, but am not convinced I would be happy with the screen size.
<pere>
sadly the dorian ebook reader is not able to download books from project gutenberg. no idea why.
<pere>
I suspect using a obsolete url and failure to handle redirects, but have not investigated.

backlight time out in setting/display ?

sorry lockscreen
xmn has quit [Quit: ZZZzzz…]
<arno11>
lockscreen + backlight time to 1 or 2 min should be fine
<arno11>
btw if it takes 18 sec by default it is because of slowness (lack of optimisation)
<arno11>
it takes exactly 10 sec on my device

Wizzup: if i stop icd2 and start it with `icd2 -l 0`, looks like things get out of sync with gconf, e.g. saved networks start requiring psk, etc. How to restart it properly?
<sicelo>
s/restart/run it in verbose mode/
<Wizzup>
yes, this is a big problem and I don't know WHY things get out of sync

conndlgs has this problem in particular

Hey, i installed Maemo Leste from the provided devuan fork on Nokia N900 and i can't get a sound output from it, is this like a known issue or am i doing something wrong?
<kreyren__>
.. or is the very broken N900 that i spend few days fixing has a broken trace somewhere on the PCB that i need to look through
* kreyren__
is using the distribution to research the current state and how it +- works so that he can try to port the environment to NixOS as tracked in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/328952
<arno11>
kreyren__: sound is supposed to work OOTB
<kreyren__>
arno11, any way to check? `speaker-test` maybe?
Wikiwide has joined #maemo-leste
* kreyren__
has no idea how the backend works atm assumes that it's ALSA
<arno11>
there is no build-in test unfortunately
<kreyren__>
actually speaker-test makes the speakers to sound well
<kreyren__>
hmm weird.. i can't seem to get output from the dialer when someone's calling me
<arno11>
ah maybe you didn't upgrade to devel ?
<kreyren__>
arno11, eh?
<arno11>
i mean, i don't know if it works well from a 'stable' img
<kreyren__>
like everything seems to work well, but the dialer seems to be the sole problem
<arno11>
ok but you really need to upgrade to -devel repo
<arno11>
*to test calls
<kreyren__>
arno11, is that like a devuan release? or how do you do that?
* kreyren__
can't find how to do that in the wiki
<arno11>
ok, you have just have to add a new line in /etc/apt/sources.list
* kreyren__
is former debian dev he knows how apt works :p
<kreyren__>
is that standalone repo or is that dependent on the stable release packages
<kreyren__>
e.g. devuan does package additions on top of debian by default
<kreyren__>
and the release doesn't work by itself without debian repos
<arno11>
sorry i'm not a dev :P
<kreyren__>
oke imma look through the debs then
<gnarface>
devuan re-builds, patches, and re-packages a small fraction of the total debs from the debian repos, and serves the rest transparently via http redirect, so no, it doesn't work without also having access to the debian repos
<gnarface>
(yet)
<gnarface>
you can tell which ones devuan changed/added because they all have "devuan" in the version substring
<arno11>
gnarface: thx :P
<kreyren__>
gnarface, The devel repo is just a bunch of configs it seems is that all that maemo leste (distro) does?
<gnarface>
kreyren__: embarrassingly enough i'm not super clear about how Maemo-Leste fits into this equation, someone around here surely knows though...
<kreyren__>
gnarface, the dev mentioned in the NixOS issue tracker that they are patching gtk2, but it seems that's done on the devuan side?
<kreyren__>
(if you can check as afaik u r devuan dev)
<gnarface>
kreyren__: i'm not a devuan dev either, but i'm running it right here and the current stable version doesn't look like it has any custom devuan packages in the list returned by "dpkg -l |grep gtk2" on my current install
<gnarface>
i think you can disambiguate this way
<gnarface>
surf to deb.devuan.org
<gnarface>
the /packages/devuan directory has just the devuan-forked packages, and the /packages/merged directory has both the devuan and debian packages (keep in mind the debian ones come through by http redirect at the mirror)
<gnarface>
i think /merged, /devuan, and /debian used to be together at the top level but they seem to have rearranged it a bit since i last looked
<gnarface>
i assume maemo-leste adds their own packages on top of that... somehow
<gnarface>
maybe in the same fashion, with amprolla doing transparent http redirects at the repo, not sure
<kreyren__>
There seems to be some patched libraries that seems to corelate to what the dev said in the nixos tracker so it seems that they fork devuan and change things
<uvos>
chimaera-devel is not standalone it contains only packages that are newer than leste chimaera not all pkgs
<uvos>
we fork a huge tone of packages
<uvos>
voicecalls on n900 are still expiramental
<uvos>
the n900 is realtively well supported but has some blemishes like very high power draw
<kreyren__>
uvos, droid4?
<uvos>
the only devices that you can expect to really daily use with leste are still droid4 and droid bionic
<uvos>
kreyren__: sorry you need n900 ofc
<uvos>
not droid4
<uvos>
i just copied that line from a d4 device
<kreyren__>
uvos, can you elaborate what's experimental? it's able to perform and answer calls but there is no audio atm
<uvos>
you need to upgrade to devel for those to work
<uvos>
in stable calls do not work atm
<kreyren__>
noted
<kreyren__>
thanks for info <3
<uvos>
calls on n900 came online very recently
<uvos>
the n900 has a very compilcated audio setup for calls
<kreyren__>
i see, is that because it had to be ported from an ancient kernel or why?
<uvos>
on most devices (like d4 the pinephone most modern android phones) the hw handles audio routing and processing for call audio on the n900 the cpu has to do all the work
<uvos>
as the hardware is a bit impotent in this regard
<uvos>
it bearly manages to do this in real time
<uvos>
no not the kernel, mostly userspace work
<kreyren__>
i see
<kreyren__>
uvos, What's the state of maemo-leste on riscv64 btw? I got this phone for hardware development mostly to add a riscv CPU to it with the same modem pinephone's using
<uvos>
kreyren__: we dont build packages for riscv and no one has tried
<gnarface>
how exciting!
<gnarface>
:D
<uvos>
so there is nothing to say besides that in theory it should work.
<gnarface>
sorry, i'm not helping
<kreyren__>
uvos, i see
<uvos>
the devices used by the devs here are all armv7 devices
<uvos>
i dont think anyone uses the pinephone in a major way besides testing even
<gnarface>
isn't pinephone armv8? oh
<uvos>
thats our only arm64 target
<uvos>
besides the rpi ofc
<uvos>
all us devs and contirubuters use mainly n900 or droid4
<gnarface>
hmm, doesn't look like debian even builds riscv packages yet...
* kreyren__
daily drives Samsung Galaxy S3 Value Edition atm, the N900 seemed like a better option as it can do games better :D
<uvos>
the n900 is nice but it is very very slow
<uvos>
if you can maybe also pick up a droid4, not only is it 5 times faster, its also the only linux phone with mainline kernel support that also has working power management to the point multi day battery life (new battery required ;) )
<uvos>
as far as i know anyhow
<gnarface>
i don't think the pinephone is very far behind that on kernel support
<gnarface>
(the regular pinephone anyway, not the pro)
<uvos>
the pinephone fundamentally can not do powermanagement nearly as well as the droid 4
<gnarface>
that i don't doubt
<kreyren__>
uvos, oh cool i will look for these, i saved these two N900 from an e-recycler
<kreyren__>
uvos, pinephone has the same SoC like my OLIMEX Teres-I with the same chip for power management afaik and teres can do powermanagement without issues though
<uvos>
kreyren__: no not really
<uvos>
so the omap4 like any "real" smartphone chip can sleep any all of its devices for microseconds at a time this means the whole device can compleatly suspend between scheduling ticks effectively there is no difference in power consumption between the device in suspend to ram and the device being idle but running
<uvos>
the allwinner in the pinephone takes mutch to long to reach sutch low power states for this to be viable
<uvos>
so the cpu is suspended compleatly crust microcontroller is used to wake it back up
<uvos>
this however means that it cant be running tasks and in a low power state at the same time
<gnarface>
hmm, interesting
<kreyren__>
hmm
<kreyren__>
I guess that's because the A64 is designed for tablets
<uvos>
yes
<uvos>
droid 4 and n900 can to as low 8mA while being connected to the internet via the modem and checking emails and responding to incomeing ip packages for chat messages etc
<uvos>
for complex reasons we cant achive this at the moment
<kreyren__>
that's wild
<uvos>
best we can do is something like 25mA for the droid4 and something on the order 100mW on the n900
<uvos>
*on the order of 100mA
<arno11>
47mA on n900
<gnarface>
well, for whatever it's worth, pine64 is already selling riscv tablets, so i think riscv debian builds will be coming soon
ac_laptop has quit [Ping timeout: 248 seconds]

arno11: nice progress on that
<arno11>
yep :P
<kreyren__>
*if only StarFive gave me the hardware files docs to be able to use the chip in projects*
<arno11>
uvos: btw i got 39 mA in 2g +n900pm script (OFF mode disabled) with 6.1.48
<arno11>
not possible anymore
<sicelo>
kreyren__: i think something else that was omitted in your GH issue is - you also need to build the kernel (which is forked to include powervr gpu support) (applies equally to d4 & n900)
<sicelo>
anyway should be easy enough for Nix
<uvos>
i think supporting the droid4/n900 is orthoginal to supporting hildon in nix
<uvos>
so should be a different issue
<kreyren__>
sicelo, PostMarketOS said that the device has full mainline no?
<uvos>
kreyren__: not the gpu
<uvos>
+ lots of other fixes we have
<uvos>
for various bits that have not landed upstream yet
<uvos>
or are unsutable for now
<sicelo>
postmarketOS and Leste use same kernel basically, except pmOS doesn't have the powervr stuff, so you can't run hildon on pmos
<uvos>
kreyren__: so you need to use our kernel if you want everything to work and the gpu requires closed source userspace bits
<uvos>
for legacy reasons our kernel repo for these devices is called droid4-linux
<uvos>
but its for n900/droid4/droid bionic/mz617
<freemangordon>
kreyren__: re maemo repos we build on top of devuan chimaera, we have our onr repos and CI, plus some forks of packages that are in devuan/debian, but we had to do bugfixes
<freemangordon>
well, we use github for the source code
<kreyren__>
freemangordon, can you share what system you use to build these natively? I am writting RFC to NixOS foundation to support the architecture atm
<freemangordon>
system like OS?
<kreyren__>
Hardware
<uvos>
kreyren__: we used to use a old amd operaton arm server
<uvos>
kreyren__: now we use some other arm server, ask Wizzup for details
<kreyren__>
uvos, thanks that's very helpful
<uvos>
kreyren__: we also use qemu on amd64 for arm build occasionally
<sicelo>
kreyren__: sensitive to cross-compilation? in what sense?
<kreyren__>
amd operaton arm using compatibility mode for 32bit to do native i assume?
<freemangordon>
not sure, Wizzup has the details
<uvos>
kreyren__: yes but this machine has since died, now its some other arm server
<kreyren__>
sicelo, nix is designed to provide reproducible build environments where cross-compilation introduces impurities that nix is trying to avoid as much as possible to have reproducible builds
<freemangordon>
kreyren__: one more note - we build VM images for native development
<kreyren__>
(reproducible results not guaranteed and much bigger issue)
<kreyren__>
freemangordon, noted
<uvos>
we dont have repoduceable builds atm
<gnarface>
you mean AMD Opteron, i assume?
<uvos>
im pretty sure some packages that will fail that
<kreyren__>
uvos, nixos only has reproducible environments where the build happens but the results from these are not reproducible
<uvos>
gnarface: yes the short lived arm ones
<kreyren__>
bcs architecture is implemented differently and some things and CPU features interfiere with these
<gnarface>
yes, news to me but apparently they came in a ARM flavor... the "Opteron A"
<gnarface>
wish i'd known that when they were new...
<uvos>
those where very nice machines
<kreyren__>
Was the Opteron able to keep up with building the packages needed?
<uvos>
yeah the operaton was great
<uvos>
opteron
<uvos>
jeez
<uvos>
:P
<uvos>
well besides failing xD
<kreyren__>
hmm NixOS has altras to support aarch64 which should have the compatibility mode too, but afaik they are almost always stressed up on 100% building
<gnarface>
probably the cooling fan died and quickly took the rest of the system with it...
<uvos>
kreyren__: it helps that we are not a stand alone distro
<uvos>
most packages are build by devuan
<uvos>
idk on what they do that
<uvos>
we only have 100s of pacakges not thousands
<gnarface>
afaik devuan also has at least a loose "no-crossbuilds" policy
<gnarface>
at least for the ARM packages
<gnarface>
(stemming from an early issue with the BBB image that still doesn't work on 2/3 of the boards in the wild)
<gnarface>
i don't think it's just a "no-crossbuilds" policy it's in fact a "no more builds for hardware we don't own here"
<kreyren__>
wait is the opteron the CPU that fits in the Viking ASUS KCMA D8 that has coreboot?
<gnarface>
(so presumably all their ARM device images are actually built on said devices)
<uvos>
kreyren__: yes maemo-6.1.y is the current stable branch
<uvos>
and maemo-6.6.y is the current expiramental branch
<uvos>
maemo-6.6.y should be ready to go now
<uvos>
we will be promoting it soon
<uvos>
so you might as well use that
<kreyren__>
oke
<kreyren__>
any firmware needed?
<uvos>
nothing besides what is in mainline linux
<uvos>
and the gpu drivers come with firmware, but that is packaged into those blobs
<kreyren__>
noted
<kreyren__>
did update and now i can't get internet to the device over wifi or 2G does anyone know why?
<uvos>
wifi interface got renamed wlan1 maybe?
<kreyren__>
wlan0 still
<uvos>
try killall icd2
<kreyren__>
nope
<uvos>
hmm strange
<kreyren__>
The whole device seems kinda broken
<kreyren__>
is there a thing i can flash on the sdcard that has the devel version?
<uvos>
no you can only upgrade to it
<arno11>
weird
<arno11>
could you pastebin your apt sources list ?
<freemangordon>
ok, seems dkms autoinstall does not like 'apt install --reinstall linux-headers-bla" :(
<freemangordon>
it does remove the module, but then does not rebuild it
<kreyren__>
hmm i think my sim card inside slid bcs i have it there loosely bcs i didn't yet 3D print the holder for the microsim and it disconnected from the network and failed the update half way causing this to now not wanting to boot and it has wrong cmdline to not get me a serial console
<gnarface>
freemangordon: i think that if you reinstall the "linux-image-bla" package after having the "linux-headers-blah" package installed (and the build tools), it should re-trigger dkms automatically
<gnarface>
that said, you can re-trigger dkms manually just as easy
<uvos>
you can but our users dont
<kreyren__>
is the maemo-flasher still something that should be used?
<kreyren__>
(would be useful to have a way to load data to the internal storage)
<freemangordon>
gnarface: it does re-trigger, but dkms does nothing as dkms module is uninstalled first
<freemangordon>
and then dkms autoinstall does nothing
<gnarface>
hmm
<gnarface>
i've only had to mess with it for nvidia drivers before
<freemangordon>
thats a bug in dkms /etc/kernel script I think
<freemangordon>
if you install different version, it is ok

<freemangordon>
no, the builkd is not attempted

ac_laptop has joined #maemo-leste

because there is noone in /var/lib/dkms already

what if you issue "dkms build" instead?
<freemangordon>
as dkms /etc/kernel prerm script has uninstalled the module for the running kernel beforehand
<freemangordon>
well, it is build fine if you start it by hand with either dpkg-reconfigure or dkms install
<freemangordon>
it is just that it misbehaves durin re-install of the same kernel version
<freemangordon>
lemme check upstream dkms
<gnarface>
oh
<gnarface>
i remember having to deal with it before for nvidia drivers but i don't remember what options i passed to dkms
<gnarface>
i seem to remember it building for all installed kernels in series though
<freemangordon>
so, this is a bug in dkms

perhaps we'll have to fork it as well :(

but the bare honeycomb, not the fancy one
<Wizzup>
wil respond to other stuff tomorrow when I'm back home
<kreyren__>
Wizzup, qemu's very resource inefficient afaik
<kreyren__>
or is that different running that on arm?
<kreyren__>
Wizzup, ok thanks for info! <3
<kreyren__>
So i reflashed the sdcard and did the upgrade on devel and the system is again very broken
<kreyren__>
you said add the line with the -devel like below the chimaera release of maemo or add the -devel line to the last line?
<kreyren__>
bcs i just added the -devel line
<kreyren__>
> chimaera-devel is not standalone it contains only packages that are newer than leste chimaera not all pkgs
<kreyren__>
i see my bad

kreyren__: you can tell qemu to just use a particular number of host cpu cores directly without actually emulating them
<kreyren__>
gnarface, oh i see
<gnarface>
it's not as efficient as something like the linux-vservers kernel patch, but it does mitigate a lot of the emulation overhead, especially if you have working hardware kvm/iommu acceleration
<gnarface>
arno11: just fyi, Devuan ops prefer people would use deb.devuan.org (a dns round-robin of mirrors of pkgmaster, which also contains pkgmaster) instead of just using pkgmaster directly, to reduce their bandwidth load
<gnarface>
not all the mirrors are super great on bandwidth themselves though, so i don't blame you
<gnarface>
in a fair world, the only difference should be a minor periodic delay of mirror replication during updates
<kreyren__>
{"full-upgrade", &DoDistUpgrade, _("upgrade the system by removing/installing/upgrading packages")},
<kreyren__>
seems that full-upgrade is the modern and the dist-upgrade is obsolete and kept there for legacy and muscle memory?
<gnarface>
http://linux-vserver.org/ if you're interested, and their channel is over on OFTC, but if you're deploying it for work Xen might be a safer choice just because it's got current support. the linux-vserver project has kinda fallen on hard times and doesn't have as much current kernel support, and also isn't really for emulation, so running non-linux guests isn't an option
<kreyren__>
like the problem on xen is that it's arm support is experimental as well
<gnarface>
but, it's lightweight enough you could conceivably run it on your actual phone with no overhead
<kreyren__>
interesting
<kreyren__>
to what benefit considering the limited processing resources of N900?
<gnarface>
maybe none :) i mostly use it for my quake server farm
<kreyren__>
heh
<gnarface>
it's good for if you're running internet-connected services you're afraid might get hacked and you want some way to keep any potential breaches from being used to breach other services
<gnarface>
it's got a lot of functional overlap with something like bsd "jails"
<gnarface>
in modern linux kernels, the various "namespaces" features have started to largely obsolete the old vserver features, but still don't quite reach the same level of feature-complete paranoia, especially with regards to the network layer
<kreyren__>
NiXium is trying to manage that threat by using lokinet for intraweb comms and as a layer that deploys services for clearweb with PQS SSH that requires pubkeys and services in their invidual sandboxes on impermanent system
<kreyren__>
rebooted the phone and it seems to work so far ^-^
<gnarface>
cool!
<kreyren__>

<kreyren__>
instead of ofono
<kreyren__>
The phone also seems much more responsive ^^
<gnarface>
nice
