libera/#maemo-leste/ Tuesday, 2022-01-18

tmlindok sorted out the n_gsm.c stuff hopefully, need to discuss it further on the lists if that's the right fix07:08
tmlindWizzup, freemangordon, parazyd, uvos: pushed out initial droid4-pending-v5.16 to github, and i intentionally left out uvos' pending patches07:09
tmlindplease set up your pending patches into branches based on mainline v5.16 instead of droid4-pending-v5.16, then for m-l devel kernel those branches can just get merged into the m-l git branch :)07:10
tmlindhere's the link for the commits in droid4-pending-v5.16: https://github.com/tmlind/linux/commits/droid4-pending-v5.1607:12
tmlindand the pvr branch still has some patches missing from freemangordon so it will be a little while before we can do a m-l kernel based on the merged branches07:14
tmlindoh at least audio is broken in droid4-pending-v5.16, will take a look07:21
tmlindwill continue tonight, bbl07:23
tmlindoh and now audio worked, seems like it can occasionally fail to load07:36
Wizzuptmlind: thanks for that, I'll try to look at setting up those branches once the pvr one is there10:31
Wizzupfreemangordon: looks like I have the error again with screen not turning on, but usbnet doesn't want to work now, hrm...10:58
Wizzuptmlind: uvos: I added this to droid4-pm, lmk if we should add more: https://github.com/maemo-leste/droid4-pm/commit/ca197761e4c22b66c82ba1245e721d01e7d12e91.patch11:03
WizzupWe already turn off one cpu at times with mce11:03
Wizzuphm can't get in with serial either, so maybe something else is up11:13
Wizzupmaybe it's a low battery :)11:14
marabejHey Guys. Can Nokia N900 with Maemo Leste open in browser mobile version of facebook now in 2022 year? I mean using only messages part?  I now that n900 has 256MB RAM only?13:52
Wizzupmarabej: good question, you can try it with the surf browser, I don't have facebook so I can't check14:01
Wizzupdoesn't facebook support xmpp for messages still?14:01
marabejI don't have nokia n900 yet. :)   But it's itneresting retro device and I'm tempted to buy one for testing with linux. If it can work with facebook app, this is enough for me, facebook + terminal for remote access + some maps14:04
WizzupI would suggest to try and find a motorola droid4 instead, more powerful14:05
Wizzupbut n900 is also ok if you can find it14:05
marabejYes of course, droid 4 has more RAM memory. Both are very rare in my country14:08
Wizzupright. there is also the droid 3 but we haven't gotten it to run stable yet (but hopefully will)14:10
marabejIs droid 4 with maemo leste reponsible, or it's sluggish?14:13
Wizzupit's very responsive for me14:14
Wizzupmuch more so than the n90014:14
mighty17[m]freemangordon: https://paste.debian.net/1227495/ any clues why this happens?14:14
L29AhMartijnBraam[m]: did you achieve full res pics and autofocus from N900 camera?14:16
MartijnBraam[m]?14:16
mighty17[m]mighty17[m]: ig llvm updated?14:17
L29Ahi've noticed your work at https://git.sr.ht/~martijnbraam/megapixels-compat and i'm wondering how far it went14:17
MartijnBraam[m]didn't really work14:18
MartijnBraam[m]got no actual data from the sensor14:18
sicelomarabej: if you open m.facebook.com, n900 should manage just fine14:21
siceloL29Ah: pavel got mostly green (matrix-style) pics out of it. Look in his tui repository14:23
marabejI don't have n900 and can't try. I think facebook don't support xmpp anymore. I just tried to connect with pidgin, but without success14:25
sicelomarabej: but yes, i also agree with Wizzup - don't buy N900 if you don't already have it and if you have another option.14:25
siceloYes , xmpp stopped the xmpp many years ago14:25
sicelos/xmpp stopped/facebook stopped/14:26
Wizzuptoo bad, ok14:26
siceloBut in Fremantle, there's a Messenger plugin for pidgin, which uses their messenger protocol. That one still works14:26
marabejsicelo: it's not enough to open m.facebook.com. There is no guarantee that the messages will work14:26
Wizzupsicelo: so the protocol is known/foss?14:27
siceloMessages work in m.facebook14:37
sicelomarabej: messages works ilon m.facebook.com ... just not real time. You have to keep refreshing14:37
siceloWizzup: no, it's not, iirc. I think the plugin acts as a browser behind the scenes, or sth like that14:38
Wizzupoh, weird14:39
Wizzupok14:39
marabejthnak you. Not realtime is better than nothing. And what about viber under linux?14:45
Wizzupuvos: when I click reply in sphone I think I get a window/message of the outgoing sms as incoming15:05
Wizzupmarabej: no idea about civer15:05
Wizzups/civer/viber/15:05
marabejbecause, there is a linux client of viber :)15:06
Wizzupis it open source?15:08
ikmaakI do not know how much Weblate is used, but it just did some distraction by trying to fix the warnings on the NL strings. Hope it helps.15:09
marabejI thnik viber is not open source, but is official client from viber15:11
siceloI doubt there's a linux client for viber on armv7/armhf15:18
buZzsicelo: box86 the x86 version? :)15:32
Wizzupseems like a lot of trouble for a closed protocol where the vendor doesn't really care if you use it15:33
bencohviber is awfuly closed yeah15:38
marabejclosed I agreed, but widespread messenger15:39
marabejand what about Google Maps on these devices + directions? Is it usable at all with Maemo leste?15:48
marabejI mean maps via WEB browser, because I don;t know if exist google maps client application15:49
Wizzupwe have applications to use with map/gps, but not so much directions, definitely not google level quality15:50
buZzimho, OSM is higher quality than google15:51
buZzbut indeed , no proper routing yet15:51
buZzmarabej: fyi its better for your brain to not require directions from a map ;)15:51
buZzgets you more mental exercise, might even prevent some years of earlier dementia15:52
Wizzupin any case we're not android-level on many places15:52
* buZz best salesperson15:52
buZzWizzup: and might never be15:52
buZzits not 1:1 same target, imho15:52
marabejWizzup I know, but if the web browser can handle maps.google.com it's extremely useful because there is thousands of POIs :)15:53
marabejOSM is great, I agree15:55
siceloI think a maps client will do better than a web browser (on N900) :-)15:56
buZzdid that neo900 5000 euro replacement motherboard for n900 ever ship?15:57
Wizzupno15:59
rafael2kI used to use sigic maps in N90016:01
rafael2kI read about modRana, will install soon to see how it goes16:01
Wizzupwe have modrana in repo yeah16:05
Wizzuprafael2k: did you test the pp kernel from our repo?16:05
Wizzupyay, am able to read incoming sms / irc messages now from telepathy-qt16:42
siceloAwesome16:43
sicelo:-)16:43
Wizzupultimately it wasn't too hard but had to learn a _lot_16:44
Wizzupthe way to connect was to set presence to available, then set auto connect to on, and then call ... "reconnect"16:45
Wizzupit wouldn't just connect16:45
Wizzuplol16:45
Wizzupbut now I can just observe text channels on all connections16:46
Wizzupaccounts rather16:46
siceloIt doesn't keep modem busy? iirc that's what i had with empathy, i.e. when empathy was active, any incoming call would get busy signal. I didn't  spend more time testing however16:46
tmlindrafael2k: so the pinephone keyboard only charges pinephone pro, right?16:48
tmlindhmm maybe it charges pinephone too, the pro is listed as (pro) here https://www.pine64.org/2021/12/31/happy-new-year-the-keyboard-and-cases-are-here/16:51
Wizzupsicelo: calls and tp-ring are another thing yes17:00
siceloyeah. i mean ... set the SIM which is setup for SMS with telepathy-qt to be online, then call it from another phone. see if the 2nd phone gets a ringing signal or busy tone17:02
Wizzupsicelo: sure someone needs to handle it on the tp side17:03
sixwheeledbeasthas anyone used the keyboard yet? from images it looks awful to use handheld, thumbing?17:07
WizzupI ordered it but it'll be delivered to my home so it will take a while for me to ge tit17:24
WizzupI should get it at ome in ~6 days17:24
tmlindok, i ordered one too and a replacement mobo for my old pinephone proto17:49
WizzupI didn't get the pro yet fwiw17:49
tmlindsounds like it will be a while again before it will be usable :)17:50
Wizzupstill worry about pm a lot17:50
Wizzupbut I made a telepathy parrot program now (talks back on any account on any protocol that is supported)17:50
Wizzupnext up is the logger and then I think we can integrate it in conversations17:51
sicelo(the facebook plugin - https://github.com/dequis/purple-facebook  ... should work in telepathy too)18:18
Wizzupoh, so it's not xmpp?18:18
Wizzupwell good that it is maintained at least18:18
Wizzupright @ purple18:18
Wizzuphm ofono is saying it sent messages but it clearly didn't18:46
Wizzuphmmm they are all pending18:46
Wizzupwonder why18:47
rafael2kWizzup: will test now!19:36
rafael2ktmlind: The PP keyboard works for both pinephones, the "normal" and the pro19:37
rafael2kmy pp keyboard should arrive next week, it already left China19:39
Wizzupmine is in .nl already - waiting to be released by customs19:39
rafael2kcool! with luck I'll have it before the weekend... but I think it is unlikely19:40
rafael2kGet:2 https://maedevu.maemo.org/leste beowulf-devel/pinephone arm64 linux-image-pine64 arm64 5.15.0-1+2m7.2 [33,3 MB]19:42
Wizzup:)19:44
rafael2kbtw, I see your TP developments, but which will be the default Maemo-Leste SMS software, sphone or conversations?19:46
freemangordonif we keep fremantle logic, it should be conversations19:47
freemangordonbut I think we are @ very early stage,so... who knows how it will pan out19:47
Wizzupright, things are in flux and it's possible we will integrate conversations in sphone framework somehow19:48
Wizzupin any case conversations as UI needs to do a lot just to function as UI, so we're just focussing on making that work19:48
WizzupI might contribute a telepathy backend module for sphone calls this month19:48
Wizzup(telepathy-ring interferes with normal ofono calls)19:48
rafael2kcool! a tp backend for sphone seems a nice path!19:49
freemangordonWizzup: what about video calls? I doubt sphone supports that19:49
freemangordonbut yeah, lets not go into that now19:49
freemangordonas I am sure you will ask me about abook :)19:50
Wizzupyeah, real soon :P19:50
WizzupI will test irc channels soon and then make a XMPP test account19:50
Wizzupand then start looking into integrating it in conversations19:50
Wizzupwe'll also need some more of the rtcom stuff19:50
Wizzupsomething on fremantle handles the 'presence' (available, away/busy, offline)19:50
freemangordonyeah. I hope to send omapdrm patches tomorrow and then focus on abook19:51
Wizzupif offline, then something sets the accounts to offline19:51
WizzupI am not sure if it is status applet or something else19:51
freemangordonWizzup: it is telepathy19:51
freemangordonand abook is integrated with that19:51
Wizzupyes but someone must tell telepathy to do it, so I guess it is status applet + gconf setting that status applet reads19:51
freemangordonEDS has telepathu plugin19:51
freemangordon*telepathy19:51
Wizzupthat is not my point, hang on19:51
freemangordonah, yeah, I see19:51
Wizzupdo you know how you get a green dot in the status when irc/msn/xmpp/etc is online?19:52
Wizzupit's called "Availability" in status menu19:52
freemangordonyes19:52
WizzupI might need to RE that applet19:52
freemangordonmhm19:52
rafael2kLinux devuan-pinephone 5.15.13 #1 SMP Mon Jan 17 10:55:07 UTC 2022 aarch64 GNU/Linux19:52
freemangordonI think it uses abook19:52
rafael2kAll good here with the new kernel19:52
Wizzupfreemangordon: I'd be surprised but maybe19:52
Wizzuprafael2k: ok I'll test it later tonight as well!19:52
freemangordonwill see19:53
freemangordonrafael2k: :)19:53
rafael2k: ))19:53
rafael2kWill play a bit with the sound setup19:53
Wizzuprafael2k: great, ty19:54
rafael2kI will start using the pp as a music player in the car for now... ordering a cassete to P2 adapter for my old WV with tape... how I miss the FM transmitter of the N90019:55
rafael2k:P19:55
rafael2khopefully firefox will not crash in youtube playbacks19:57
rafael2kwill also do some basic testing to see if I can setup the audio routing correctly for call recording19:59
Wizzupcool!19:59
freemangordonrafael2k: yeah, it is a pity there are no more phones with fmtx20:02
freemangordonspeaking of which, n900 audio playback through car's BT audio sounds times better than android one20:03
freemangordonwhich is weird, I would expect newer BT protocols to handle HiFi audio better20:04
siceloheh20:13
* sicelo still keeps his music on N900 and plays it from there, even though through the years he's used such 'flagships' as Samsung S4 and S720:14
rafael2kbt works with the firmware!20:38
rafael2khttps://github.com/anarsoul/rtl8723bt-firmware20:38
rafael2kwe need to package this ^20:38
rafael2kfmtx is a really nice feature...20:39
rafael2kwe also need firmware for one of the cameras: firmware-ov564020:42
uvosWizzup: hmm? @sphone sms20:42
uvosWizzup: it should just open the new sms window (the sphone gtk ui dosent do inline reply atm)20:42
rafael2kwhich is here: https://github.com/dragan-simic/ov5640-autofocus-firmware20:49
Wizzupuvos: 'reply' just sends myself a msg20:57
uvosWizzup: where?20:57
Wizzupsphone incoming sms window20:57
uvosthe new-sms window shows ofono?21:00
Wizzupafaik21:00
WizzupI can check again in a bit21:00
uvosWizzup: thats probubly the problem21:02
uvoshttps://github.com/maemo-leste/sphone/blob/3e5f4cea747f97dcfeddc1d9a15328ecce75b92a/src/modules/gui/gtk2/ui-messages-gtk.c#L30021:02
uvosit cooses the default backend, instead of the backend the message was sent with21:03
uvosdefault is whatever is loaded last21:03
uvosso if you have comtest loaded after ofono21:03
uvosit will use that21:03
uvos(and comtest just loopsback your messages)21:03
rafael2kbtw, guys, when you have time, please apply this to leste-config for pp: https://github.com/rafael2k/leste-config/commit/eaff465b9691de4562b3d296759645cb0f03f7e021:07
rafael2kI'll soon do another PR for audio21:07
uvosrafael2k: that should probubly be which iw or?21:09
rafael2kuvos: I don't understand your question21:10
uvosmaybe get the path from which instead of hardcoding it, but then again maybe not, seams to go agains convetion21:11
uvosprobubly to make it harder for udev execing things to be used as privilage escallation21:12
uvosso nvm21:12
rafael2k?21:12
rafael2kthe path is wrong21:12
rafael2kjust this21:12
rafael2kiw should be in /sbin/ and when "unified usr" arrives, it should just continue to work21:13
rafael2kbetter keep the path wrong and discuss about using which or not to find the path? really?21:17
uvosyour being way to touchy. i was just wondering out loud if using which would be perferable to correcting the path, it would not, end of story.21:20
rafael2kI'm just trying to understand how to contribute to Maemo without begging to have simple patchs committed. end of story.21:22
siceloI actually like the usage of udev for wlan power saving in this MR. Nice21:24
rafael2k[   12.542517] udevd[908]: failed to execute '/usr/sbin/iw' '/usr/sbin/iw wlan0 set power_save off': No such file or directory21:25
rafael2kI like too ^21:25
siceloI actually wonder if it should even go to PP ... seems like a nice to have for all devices21:26
rafael2kthis is not bad indeded21:27
rafael2kif the chips support it, why not21:27
Wizzupuvos: aha @ comtest21:28
uvosin all other places sphone uses the backend in the message struct21:33
uvosi just forgot to migrate this one21:33
uvosfeal free to do so, i wont be working on sphone for a while21:33
Wizzupit's ok, I'm deep in tp stuff atm, just wanted to report21:50
Wizzuprafael2k: can you do a leste-config pr?21:51
Wizzupthen I will do it today/tonight21:51
Wizzup:)21:51
rafael2kWizzup: done a couple of days ago - https://github.com/maemo-leste/leste-config/pull/2922:00
rafael2klemme know if you want me to make the commit cleaner22:01
rafael2kI wish git would pick just the latest commit, but it included in the PR some commits that change nothing22:02
lelrafael2k synchronize a pull request: https://github.com/maemo-leste/leste-config/pull/29 (set correct path to iw)22:02
Wizzuprafael2k: sorry I missed it, life has been busy22:04
Wizzuprafael2k: you can rebase to fix PRs22:05
Wizzuprafael2k: do you just want the path fix in there?22:07
rafael2kWizzup: just fix the way you lose less time... just strip "/usr" from iw path22:08
rafael2kI'm trying to fix the audio here22:08
rafael2kthen I want to create the package for bluetooth firmware22:09
Wizzuprafael2k: fwiw you can make seperate branches for PRs with juts specific commits22:10
Wizzuprafael2k: sounds great22:10
Wizzupbrb ~50mins22:10
rafael2kWizzup: right, I will create branches for the PRs22:11
Wizzuprafael2k: ok, either way is fine, just let me know22:49
rafael2kWizzup: just commit the patch https://github.com/rafael2k/leste-config/commit/eaff465b9691de4562b3d296759645cb0f03f7e022:51
rafael2kstill fighting with alsa-ucm...22:52
Wizzupcheck22:52
rafael2klsaucm: error failed to open sound card hw:0: No such file or directory22:53
rafael2k:(22:53
Wizzuprafael2k: pushed that to master22:54
rafael2kWizzup: tks!22:56
rafael2kmay be I'm just tires, but Wizzup, when you get to your pp, try see the output of alsaucm reload23:10
Wizzuprafael2k: ok23:11
rafael2kaplay works just fine23:14
rafael2kbut it seems ucm has some issue23:14
Wizzupuvos: do ofono pending messages clear out for you in dbus or do you keep seeing them?23:15
rafael2kok, for now, lets blacklist or remove hdmi audio in pp... he was the trouble maker. may be it is just me tired, but blacklist the new alsa hdmi audio module made things work again23:18
Wizzupok23:18
rafael2kbtw, hdmi audio is not ok, but alsa-ucm is also not ok...  even sphone is complaining23:43
rafael2ksphone: route-pulseaudio: failure: set ucm profile to HiFi No such entity23:43
rafael2kI dunno if I fucked-up accidentally my alsa-ucm setup, or may be the alsa userland is not enjoying the new kernel...23:43
rafael2kha, stopping pulseaudio makes sound work perfect23:45
rafael2khow I hate pulseaudio... and miss good ol' OSS times23:45
