01:10.07robbiethe1stHey guys, do you guys know A, why installing firefox from the store on a N950 would fail, and B, why, after that, would x-terminal say "/usr/bin/aegis-session not found"? anything I can check?
01:10.29robbiethe1stSeems like some critical package is screwed up...

15:32.25JareDocScrutinizer: another microsim didn't work, so it's down to warranty...
15:32.43DocScrutinizeryep :'(
15:33.43DocScrutinizerwonders if that's the same problem still as with N900 BB5

15:34.54DocScrutinizerjonni: could you try to find out inhouse what's the result of investigations about root cause for BB5 hw failures?
15:36.14DocScrutinizeras now showing on obviously *all* N9.. devices
15:36.26DocScrutinizermodels
15:37.13DocScrutinizerseems a weak spot of BB5 based hw
15:37.44Jarehmm?
15:37.45DocScrutinizerwe'd be interested in how to take care or - last resort - maybe fix the issue
15:38.15Jarewhat's the problem with those devices?
15:38.32DocScrutinizerJare: this class of problems you encountered is quite known with N900
15:38.52Jaremmkay
15:39.17Jareand it's a hw problem?
15:39.38DocScrutinizerand I seem to recall some of the 300 N950 we knew of also suffered from same issue
15:39.52DocScrutinizerJare: well, on N900 it obviously is
15:40.56DocScrutinizereven a mechanical problem possibly, as SpeedEvil found his N900 losing connection when he's pressing a certain area of ~4 keys on kbd
15:41.17DocScrutinizeriirc
15:42.26DocScrutinizerspeculations go to BGA soldering problems, which *could* get repaired by re-reflowing
15:43.15SpeedEvilWasn't me
15:43.20JareI would find a mechanical problem a bit weird, since the phone was lying on a flat surface and playing music from spotify, when the problem appeared
15:43.21SpeedEvilsomeone else.
15:43.31DocScrutinizerbut only Nokia knows for sure, and I hope they actually do and are willing to share their wisdom, so users that are out of luck and out of warranty have a perspective
15:43.52DocScrutinizerSpeedEvil: ooh, then shadowJK?
15:44.53SpeedEvilIt'd be lovely id they'd do that.
15:44.54DocScrutinizerJare: mech problem here doesn't mean a lorry ran over it. A poor solder joint can fail on random triggering conditions
15:45.00SpeedEvilI don't _think_ it was shadowjk
15:45.06SpeedEvilbut I'm unsure
15:45.53DocScrutinizerSpeedEvil: but some of your N900 also had BB5 issues, no?
15:46.34JareDocScrutinizer: yes, that's quite true. So when the warranty period is over, we should prepare heating our kitchen ovens ;)
15:47.14DocScrutinizerJare: sth along that line, but only if we can find out good info on the facts
15:47.55DocScrutinizerif it's e.g. a bonding issue, then we're screwed
15:48.06JareI wonder if lumia 800 could have the same issue
15:48.28DocScrutinizerI don't thik hooker800 has BB5
15:48.47DocScrutinizerbut sure it could have soldering issues for large BGA chips as well
15:50.27SpeedEvilDocScrutinizer: yes.
15:50.49SpeedEvilDocScrutinizer: lots of 'sim error'

16:25.23Jareitsnotabigtruck: yes, I forgot to disable the device lock and ended up flashing the whole device, but it didn't change anything. I also tried a different microsim and confirmed that the one I had issues with was working in another phone

16:50.31DrGrovI gotta wonder... I have automatic energy saving set at 30% but I wonder... Does the low-power screen with the clock show that power saving mode is activated? Or do I need to open the lockscreen to see?

17:52.56jonniDocScrutinizer: what bb5 hw failures?
17:53.21DocScrutinizerusually showing as "No SIM"
17:54.03DocScrutinizerthough there are other symptoms as well
17:54.45DocScrutinizerjust losing connection like if you were in subway, at random
17:55.28DocScrutinizerall sorts of error msgs from APE you could imagine related to cmt
17:56.08jonniDocScrutinizer:  you mean this http://forum.meego.com/showthread.php?t=5820  where sim card is not regognized if you eject your simcard too often, breaking the detection button?
17:56.13DocScrutinizerbut for sue "No SIM" and frequent requests to re-enter PIN are most common
17:57.07DocScrutinizernah, not exactly that, as it seems rather easy to triage and spot the error
17:57.57DocScrutinizeractually I doubt N900 has any such switch
17:57.58jonniafaik there has not been any bb5 hw failules, only mechanical ones, but I can be wrong ofcourse
17:58.27itsnotabigtruckthere has to have been at least one
18:01.03*** join/#harmattan JoseLuis (~quassel@187.115.172.24)
18:08.27Jaremaybe I'll just drop this to Keilaniemi in the morning, so you can decide which one is the root cause in this case, lol
18:10.21jonniatleast on quick look on bugzilla I cant find hits on simcard and bb5, one hit of dead sim card, but was operator releated, and fixed by new simcard. So my guess would be mechanical fault. But ofcourse nokia care will know better.
18:11.35jonnialthough if you havent been opening and ejecting simcard many times, its quite unlikely scenario too
18:13.22Jareyep, I've only inserted it once months ago, when I bought the device
18:14.00itsnotabigtruckanyone know of any free email forwarding services
18:14.07itsnotabigtruckthat is, something i can point my MX records to in order to forward mail to that domain to a real email address
18:14.27*** join/#harmattan tonyoy (~tonyoy@cor13-3-88-164-144-60.fbx.proxad.net)
18:14.36jonnibecause of spammers where arent that many free mx providers out there.
18:14.45jonniwhere=there
18:15.30jonnialtough some domain providers do provide you free email forwarding for your domain
18:15.46jonnilike godaddy
18:15.56itsnotabigtruckyeah, i was using the one provided by my registrar but then i changed registrars
18:15.57JareI've been using google apps for my private domain
18:18.26DocScrutinizerjonni: Jare: I'd guess if there's a switch then there's a GPIO connected to it, and a way to query that in /sys
18:21.17DocScrutinizeranyway for N900 there's no such switch and we had several cmt failures, iirc shadowJK and SpeedEvil both encountered the problem
18:22.17DocScrutinizeras well as several other uses that dropped by at #maemo
18:24.14*** join/#harmattan Guest88380 (Termana@199.127.226.8)
18:24.58Jarewell it does change the icon, when a sim card is inserted/removed. So if there's a switch, it must be working
18:25.59jonniwill be interesting to see what care will say that the fault was

18:55.17fralsonly saw the No SIM/sim registering issues once but it was because the sim was pretty worn

20:27.09rzrVelmont, gvoice != gtalk

20:30.48Velmontrzr: Well, I didn't mean Google Voice,  but Google GTalk Voice (or sound or audio or I don't know what to call it)
20:31.31rzrthe proper protocol is jingle xmpp extension ...
20:32.19Velmontrzr: So harmattan's gtalk audio call support is in fact not really tied to gtalk at all, it's jingle, then? So it should work with other servers.

21:27.09pahey
21:27.11paquestion
21:27.25paso now skype video calls work on N9 with this peregrine?
21:27.37rzrnever tested
21:27.59paim getting the phone tomorrow
21:28.04pai+ll try then
21:28.40pait would be great
21:29.07pai was already considering the switch to gtalk, but without a native client for PC, it's a no-go
21:29.18pa(i mean, a native client supporting video calls)
21:30.10ieatlintuh, peregrine doesn't support video calls to my knowledge
21:30.19ieatlintjust rechecked... their last update was in nov
21:30.50ieatlintand peregrine as i understand uses the base system's chat system, so it has the same limitations.. only gtalk supports video calling methinks
21:31.22javispedrothey _do_ advertise skype video calls though
21:33.59javispedro(not saying it actually does them

21:35.01itsnotabigtrucki thought peregrine uses its own GUI

21:35.46ieatlinti see a random website claiming that, but nothing on peregrine's own website
21:35.48ieatlintbut maybe i'm blind
21:36.06javispedroieatlint: nah, you are right
21:37.13ieatlintyeah, i'd be very surprised if peregrine worked with skype to add video calling support to their app
21:38.00pamaybe they reversed the protocol
21:38.22paskype sources were circulating some time ago
21:39.04ieatlinti wouldn't say that's impossible, but it'd be highly unlikely
21:39.18pa(i might have downloaded that :p)

23:18.29PaulePanterpa: Do not Empathy or Pidgin support Video calls with GTalk?
23:19.52PaulePanterRegarding Fenix: Are there any ways to debug it? Receiving and sending messages seems pretty slow with a certain provider. But the provider works fine with Thunderbird on a PC.
23:27.27itsnotabigtruckPaulePanter: the do
23:27.33itsnotabigtruckbut in the case of pidgin, on linux only
23:27.40itsnotabigtruckwhich is a real shame because most pidgin users are on windows
23:27.53itsnotabigtruckdevelopers don't care and aren't fixing it
23:40.45ieatlinteh, windows support is more of a feature than anything else...
23:41.18ieatlintgetting the camera to work in windows would require a lot of windows-specific code, so it's a bit more involved than simply compiling gtk for windows
23:42.36javispedrocurses
23:42.48javispedroanyone knows where the /etc/locale.alias file has gone to in modern distros?
23:42.52javispedrolike on harm itself for example
23:43.04javispedroponders if I should look for systemd-locale-alias-plugin...
23:44.45Termanajavispedro, on Ubuntu 11.10 the file is still located at /etc/locale.alias
23:45.18javispedromeh, it's gone on this gentoo at least, and stracing binaries reveals they don't even look for it :(
23:47.12itsnotabigtruckjavispedro: check what the debian way to do it is
23:47.17itsnotabigtrucksince harmattan would have inherited that
23:47.32itsnotabigtruckdoing things the arch/gentoo/whatever way on debian tends to screw everything up
23:47.59javispedrothe debian way is locale.alias, but maemo deviates a lot from debian her
23:48.24itsnotabigtruckoh ok :/
23:48.24DocScrutinizerouch locale
23:48.27javispedroe.g. posix-locales package
23:48.43DocScrutinizerglares at that notorious 21MB file
23:49.01javispedrooh
23:49.14javispedrointeresting.
23:49.26javispedromwahaha
23:49.35javispedroposix-locales is in nokia-binaries =)
23:49.47javispedroI ponder if one could consider that a GPL violation...
23:50.06DocScrutinizeroh yes, please!
23:51.27DocScrutinizerI laways considered it a major offense I have to spend dozens of MB of valuable roootfs space for greek, spanish, french, whatnot locale
23:52.27TermanaDocScrutinizer, do you install it for the german locale?
23:52.46javispedronah, not GPL violating ("Distribution and use is free, also for commercial purposes")
23:53.09DocScrutinizerand you couldn't even think "screwit" and revert to lang=C as then you get this tana-fi-* BS
23:53.39itsnotabigtruckthe copyright file says it's lgpl
23:54.01javispedroitsnotabigtruck: that is wrong for half of the packages =) welcome to maemo! =)
23:54.37javispedroDocScrutinizer: on the N9/50 at least locale-archive is way lighter because most of the stuff they have moved to whatever clone of gettext() Qt has
23:54.58DocScrutinizermeh yeah
23:55.49DocScrutinizerif it was tr() I'd actually be happy
23:55.56DocScrutinizerI bet it's not
