freemangordonWizzup: I have fixed nothing re 6.6 power usage. Also, power usage in 6.6 is not ok, my device is using > 200 mW on idle with 6.6 compared to ~135 with 6.108:56
freemangordonI'll be back home later today, though I don;t know if I will have time today to try to fix it08:57
Wizzupfreemangordon: well, it is 'good enough' for me, I still get 2 days, so I am happy09:24
Wizzupbut yes, we do need to fix it09:24
WikiwideI want a 5G (or at least, 4G) phone running Linux - and not just a candybar. Between LG Wing, Blackberry Priv and Blackberry Passport, which one is more likely to be able to run Maemo Leste? Other device recommendations are welcome, too.11:56
Wizzupprobably currently none of them, but looking at the soc in there and if hte community has interest in it might be a good guide11:58
uvos__i gues the closest ist the fxtec 1 right? if you can find one of those12:04
uvos__not that it works12:04
uvos__but at least there was some work done on that12:04
uvos__tecnically mapphones are 4g :P not that you can do anything with the lte modem12:05
Wikiwideuvos__: What is mapphone?12:20
Wikiwideuvos__: Had Fxtec Pro1, with Sailfish OS on top of Android with libhybris. Software update bricked that. No energy left to unbrick that.12:21
uvos__the droid4 (and related devices) currently the most targeted development platform of  leste. but they are 4g in theory only, the modem is of no use in modern times12:24
uvos__well your out of luck then, the droid4 is the most modern qwerty phone with good linux support and the fxtec is the only lte+ qwerty phone with any support12:26
WizzupI have not checken on fxtec mainline support recently12:27
Wizzupchecked*12:27
uvos__yeah12:28
uvos__even if it works they made seemingly 3 of those before going out of bussness12:28
uvos__:P12:28
WikiwideMy sibling has another Fxtec Pro1, was running it with stock Android. Until got hardware problem. Pogo pin broken off? Don't remember. Got spare parts, even. But haven't been able to revive it, yet.12:30
Wizzupthey went out of business? shame12:30
WikiwideEverybody goes out of business. If they are start-ups. Solution is to get Dragonbox Pyra (I have pre-ordered one, should pre-order one more, have been waiting for years) or to piggy back on devices of existing large companies (as in, community edition Linux for those mainstream devices which have not been utterly locked).12:33
WikiwideOr to collect devices of start-ups - rarities, like in a museum.12:33
WikiwideHas anyone got hold of email address of HMD Global or anybody else sufficiently out of the box to persuade them to try out multi-board bracelet Linux-based mobile computer/phone?12:36
WikiwideLike, link up all the multiple boards with USB cable into network.12:37
buZza usb bracelet? :P12:39
buZzthis sounds cute12:39
WikiwideMeanwhile, I did not major in electrical engineering, I don't like soldering, my e-bike battery would likely need spot welding to replace cells, and boring recycling companies would not even try to reimburse me if I brought the mostly fine battery to them.12:39
WikiwidebuZz: Exactly! Much cuter than pink plastic Barby phone. Also, each of the devices on the bracelet would have its own tiny battery, and swap over to wireless comms instead of USB when taken off the bracelet.12:41
buZznice pipedream ;) but bracelet computing in general might be something to think about12:43
buZzor , like those 1980 sweat absorbing wristbands?12:43
buZzas a formfactor12:44
WikiwideImagine: you can snap GPS/maps/navigator off bracelet and put it onto bicycle handlebar, and it would last you a hour or two until you put it back onto bracelet.12:44
buZzi have that pine64 smartwatch , its kinda cute12:44
WikiwideI have pebble smartwatch or two somewhere, should get around to charging it and updating its software to rebble.12:45
buZznice :) that hardware might be near your bracelet idea?12:46
buZzlike a smartwatch with multiple screens12:46
siceloWikiwide: why not Pinephone Pro or Librem512:46
WikiwideCute! https://pine64.com/product/pinebook-pinephone-pinetab-serial-console/ But that's 3.5mm, right? Not 2.5mm?12:54
Wikiwidesicelo: Last I remember, they are typical candybar phones, no hardware keyboard?12:55
WikiwidebuZz: See https://wiki.seeedstudio.com/RePhone_Strap_Kit_for_Pebble/12:59
buZzcute13:02
sixwheeledbeastI'd be happy getting a pinephone if there was a compact slider keyboard more like the N900. The current keyboard offering is more like a massive case and not suitable for on the go. Dragonbox suffers the same it's keyboard is more for on a desk in which case I'd use a thin laptop.13:05
buZzjust get a droid4 then :)13:19
gnarfacethey discontinued the pinephone keyboard anyway13:25
gnarfacethey couldn't get a clamp on the quality control issues, and the size and fact it wasn't a slider model were already to avoid anticipated quality control issues13:26
buZzalso the charging was pretty iffy :D13:26
buZzcausing burning keyboards? or pinephones13:26
buZzcant remember13:26
gnarfacea few of them burnt out their charging circuit, reasons still debated13:27
gnarfaceafaik no phones actually lit on fire from them, but they did discontinue the wireless charging backplate because it melted one phone13:27
sixwheeledbeastunavailable. at least you can buy a PP13:29
buZzgee13:30
buZzsixwheeledbeast: yeah i guess Wizzup owns all droid4s out there now ;)13:30
WikiwideLawlz ;-)13:51
WikiwideAny open-source thermometers for sick people? Should be easier than Pinecil.13:52
WikiwideLike, we have one ancient mercury thermometer, one unreliable infrared thermometer, and one new-fangled-cheapest-from-pharmacy 10s-metal-tip electronic thermometer. And they manage to get lost easily.13:54
WikiwideI imagine that an open source electronic thermometer with a charging dock could start complaining loudly if it is motionless and not in dock. And shine bright LED lights.13:55
sixwheeledbeastI like the look of the pinecil but I often need to solder in stupid locations, butune is less hassle than chunky battery banks an wires. I'd use a bench iron for proper jobs.15:02
sixwheeledbeastthermometers went mad during covid you couldn't buy one anywhere. Not something I would care about being expensive or open source if it's accurate enough.15:06
WikiwideFun: https://www.instructables.com/Smart-Thermometer-Using-Esp-01F-and-Web-Socket-Ard/15:06
WikiwideBut I would go for AAAA, not a lipo. That is, if I can find a rechargeable AAAA. I like swappable batteries, especially old-fashioned cylindrical ones.15:07
WikiwideCould be a lithium whatever cylindrical battery, of course. Have got a charger that works with either lithium or nickel batteries, no problem.15:09
WikiwideWould rather use eink screen, not OLED, if it reduces power consumption. For retro looks, it could even look like mercury thermometer - scale, not spoon-fed numbers.15:25
WikiwideWould rather avoid smacking the thermometer, that's wear and tear. Rather, make thermometer feel the pressure, like an active stylus?15:26
WikiwideAnd yes, charging circuit would be nice.15:27
WikiwideBut 1.2V or 3.7V~4.2V, I would probably find the redesign to be arduous.15:29
arno11Wizzup: https://leste.maemo.org/Extras/drnoksnes17:05
Wizzupcool!!17:38
Wizzupbtw you can disable hildon compositing programatically if you want, but if it is fullscreen I think it should be disabled already17:39
arno11Wizzup: yep but usually it doesn't work (like in smplayer or pcsx)17:46
arno11(argh got another wifi crash)17:47
arno11is there a way to restart wlan stuff ?17:47
arno113.5g is still ok but no way to connect to a wifi network until reboot. never got this kind of issue with previous kernels17:49
arno11for compo i mean it doesn't work automatically in fullscreen, need to disable it in window mode and then, enable fullscreen17:52
arno11s/disable/enable/17:54
Wizzupwhat is the 'wifi crash' here?18:05
WizzupI think this is quite different from what we see with wifi dropping18:06
Wizzupyou're talking about some oops in the kernel I think18:06
arno11that's a wifi dropping and then, can't see any wifi network anymore until reboot18:09
arno11i think it is an issue with the applet18:11
gnarfacearno11: try just reloading the wifi driver module18:12
arno11ah ok ty, i'll try now18:12
arno11still the same unfortunately18:16
gnarfaceeh, sometimes it works18:16
gnarfacedriver crashes are possible, and sometimes they can be recovered by just reloading the module18:17
gnarfaceit's not always the case though, and this might not even be a driver crash... it was worth a try though18:17
arno11yes indeed :) ,probably something wrong only with the applet18:17
arno11because hsdpa still work but can't see it in the applet everytime i click on it18:18
arno11what is the name of the connection manager applet btw ?18:21
siceloicd-something18:23
siceloyou can look in /var/log if there's anything you can pick up18:23
arno11ok ty18:24
siceloarno11: i'm not into games, but i remembered this game from my childhood - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCYKNKPXv1w18:25
sicelodo you know if it could play on one of the emulators on N900?18:26
Wizzuparno11: can you check dmesg when this happens18:26
arno11Wizzup: got nothing :(18:28
arno11sicelo: let me check18:28
sicelodmesg | grep wl1251 maybe?18:29
arno11still nothing, pretty sure wifi works but something is wrong with the applet18:33
arno11sicelo: for the game, should work on UAE18:33
arno11but there is no built for chimaera iirc18:34
siceloi see. well, i don't even have the game ROM ... wonder if i can find it.18:37
siceloN900 will manage though? i could always play on pc ;-)18:37
arno11on D4 the arcade version of the game should work with MAME emulator from devuan repo18:38
arno11on pc no probs and should work fine on N900 with a bit of work18:39
siceloi'll give it a go.18:40
sicelothe wifi .. you touch on the status area, then the connections, and you only see 3.5G?18:43
arno11yes but 50% of time18:43
arno11but the network is fine (currently using it)18:44
arno11pretty sure wifi is also there but not visible18:44
arno11maybe restart icd2 with dsmetool could help ?18:46
sicelomaybe.it  has some way to do verbose log18:46
arno11maybe18:46
siceloicd2 -l 018:46
arno11able to stop/restart icd2 with dsmetool but still can't see wifi18:53
sicelolooks like icd2 is managed by openrc ... so `rc-service icd2 stop`, etc.18:56
arno11_buggyWifisame result19:00
arno11_buggyWifiand can't find any relevant logs atm19:01
gnarfaceis there a /var/log/daemon.log?19:01
gnarfaceyou might need to turn up logging verbosity in wpasupplicant19:01
arno11_buggyWifiyes19:01
siceloarno11_buggyWifi: /var/log/maemo/icd2.log19:01
arno11_buggyWifii already looked at it19:02
sicelothere's also wpa_supplicant log in that dir. any clues from it?19:03
arno11_buggyWifidon't remember, let me check19:03
arno11_buggyWifistill nothing relevant19:05
arno11_buggyWifii have to go for a bit, ty guys for your help :)19:05
arno11_buggyWifibbl19:06
arno11sicelo: still no wifi after 2 reboots :(20:26
sicelomaybe you should delete your existing icd2 and wpa_supplicant logs, reboot, try connecting, then share those two logs20:28
siceloand dmesg, of course20:28
arno11ok but i already got recent logs20:35
arno11ah got something with wpa_supplicant20:36
arno11will share in a bit20:37
siceloNB: with verbose logging, icd2 will show PSK in cleartext in the log20:45
arno11https://paste.debian.net/1323362/20:45
siceloshow output of,  ip link sh20:47
siceloi think you have the wlan1 problem20:50
arno11sorry, what do you mean ?20:51
siceloheh, show that output first ... ip link sh20:52
arno11wtf, indeed wlan120:53
sicelo:-D20:53
arno11wlan1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 100020:54
sicelo`sudo ip link set wlan1 name wlan0` should rename it back20:56
siceloi don't know if it will be permanent20:57
arno11ah lol same stuff that the old issue with gprs0 ?20:57
arno11let's try20:57
sicelothere's also problems with gprs0 being named something else? never heard it before20:58
arno11yeah it works man :)20:58
arno11yes you already solved it iirc20:59
arno11thanks a million !20:59
arno11ah no, the gprs stuff was different21:04
arno11bbiab21:06
freemangordonWizzup: ok, got it working, however, I have no idea why it works22:46
freemangordonto me stream naming does not make sense22:47
Wizzupfreemangordon: what was the change?23:28
freemangordonWizzup: https://pastebin.com/8eBMNeB523:30
WizzupI see23:31
Wizzupand this solves the pm issue?23:31
freemangordonhars to say23:31
freemangordonat least all dapm widgets are off23:32
freemangordonbut issue seems to be there23:32
Wizzupok23:40
freemangordon+23:40
freemangordonoops23:40
Wizzupand it works during call?23:40
freemangordonstill hard to say23:40
freemangordonbut maybe it is better23:41
freemangordonas now I am seeing readings of 150 mW23:41
Wizzupif dapm is off then it must be better23:41
freemangordonperhaps we can compare regs 6.1 vs 6.623:42
freemangordonoh, yes, it is better23:42
freemangordonI just got 113mW power_avg with wifi connected23:42
Wizzupok23:43
freemangordondid you fix the bad commit name?23:43
Wizzupno23:43
Wizzupmake sure you pull but then feel free to force push23:43
freemangordonhow to do it? force-push?23:43
freemangordonok23:43
Wizzupthat seems like 32mA btw, so not too bad with wifi on23:43
freemangordonyeah, it varies, but is way better than before23:44
Wizzupwe also got libomemo-c, qxmpp and telepathy-nonsense in repo, not sure if it works, but progress, made it compile and got newer libs23:44
Wizzupand telepathy-tank and libQuotient too23:44
freemangordonyeah, saw the mails23:44
Wizzup(not yet in repos)23:44
freemangordonBTW, I still don;t understand the naming23:44
freemangordonsee https://pastebin.com/BU1hhteR23:45
freemangordon'out  "static" "Voice Playback"' is what is needed to make it work properly23:46
Wizzupnot sure why both are there, is one a switch and one the route?23:46
freemangordonso it auto-connects playback<->capture23:46
Wizzupand this is switched on when?23:46
freemangordonbut if I don;t add DT route    "Voice Playback", "c2c.cpcap-voice-mdm-call-playback" it does not work23:47
freemangordonno idea23:47
Wizzupfreemangordon: shall we build new kernel when you push?23:59
