rpierce99hyc you around?00:30
hycnope00:32
rpierce99damn00:32
hycwhazzupm00:33
hyc?00:33
rpierce99i wanted to ask you since you've pretty much touched every part of the system by this point00:33
rpierce99have you ever needed anything for troublehsooting other than logcat -b radio -v time, logcat -v time, and dmesg?00:33
hycno, that's been pretty much all.00:34
rpierce99any additional flags you would add if you were able to make sure 100% of people ran the same commands?00:34
hycthere are a couple other logcat buffers but I've rarely seen anything interesting in them00:34
hycthe one thing we need is a program that reads /proc/kmsg and turns the timestamps into wallclock time, so it can be correlated with everything else.00:37
hycklog kinda does that but it actually just forwards to syslogd. too many moving parts...00:37

Madplaya1Anyone here?00:39
rpierce99barely00:39
Madplaya1Do you when frx07 will be released just wondering?00:39
rpierce99it just got pushed back 3 days because you asked00:40
Madplaya1I knew it :( I was just asking because I can't use frx06 on my device00:41
rpierce99there's nothing in frx07 that would make it go from impossible to possible00:41
rpierce99so either frx07 won't work either, or you could fix your frx0600:41
Madplaya1Well, it's the roaming indicator notification thing, that's why I don't use it. I thought with the new RIL in frx07 would fix it.00:43
rpierce99you can fix that in frx0600:43
rpierce99and btw that is purely cosmetic00:43
Madplaya1How can I fix it ?00:46
rpierce99 /data/eri.xml00:47
rpierce99it won't exist by default00:47
Madplaya1Do insert something or what?00:47
rpierce99but if you find the format (google?) and push it in (adb) it'll get rid of the message00:48
Madplaya1I might as well just for frx07. I use the blazn build for now works good.00:49
rpierce99wow00:49
rpierce99blazn is old00:49
Madplaya1Nah, tiad8 newest build in his site. The CwM00:49
* rpierce99 shudders00:50
Madplaya1Is it bad or something lol?00:51
rpierce99hm, that's a tough question00:51
rpierce99i can't answer it because i would never use it00:51
Madplaya1Lol00:51
Madplaya1How come ?00:51
rpierce99because that guy throws stuff at the wall with a blindfold on and sees what sticks00:51
rpierce99makes lofty claims00:52
rpierce99but has never really "fixed" or "improved" anything afaik00:52
rpierce99at least not something reproducable00:52
Madplaya1Haha , well for me it works smoothly. Yeah right! That's why I want frx0700:53
*** GPFerror has joined #xdandroid00:54
rpierce99reading that site makes my head hurt00:54
Madplaya1Lol he has NAND builds , but I don't trust that.00:55
rpierce99yeah i wouldn't let that guy anywhere near my NAND00:55
Madplaya1Im fine just booting from winmo00:56
*** Madplaya1 has quit IRC00:58
hycah figures. regular syslogd doesn't work on android because syslogd wants to use /dev/log for its socket01:11
hycbut android turned /dev/log into a directory. sigh.01:11

rpierce99hey arrrghhh, got a question for ya11:46
arrrghhhshoot11:46
arrrghhhi've got a snarky answer for ya11:47
arrrghhh:D11:47
rpierce99as the testing lead, i wanted your opinion on the output of a project I was dabbling with yesterday11:47
arrrghhhsure11:47
arrrghhhheh11:47
arrrghhhyou make me sound much more important that i am in reality :P11:47
rpierce99wanted to know if there was anything missing11:47
rpierce99i know, i almost through testing leads into air quotes11:48
rpierce99figured i'd give you some respect today11:48
rpierce99not sure why11:48
arrrghhhlol11:48
arrrghhhme neither.11:48
arrrghhhso missing as in... hidden private stuff?11:48
rpierce99currently it is dmesg, logcat -v time, and logcat -v time -b radio, hyc couldn't think of anything else that he would want to collect from dumb users11:48
arrrghhhlol11:49
arrrghhhyea that covers the main three logs.11:49
rpierce99today i've been thinking kernel version and system image version11:49
arrrghhhdmesg should have those11:49
arrrghhhassuming it doesn't get truncated11:49
rpierce99only if it hasn't rolled off11:49
arrrghhhyea11:49
rpierce99yeah we can't assume that11:49
arrrghhhheh11:50
rpierce99but if you could remove 100% of the complexity of entering and adbing and pastebinning, there are no other commands you would want them to run?11:51
arrrghhhhrm11:51
arrrghhhyou can get kernel version from uname -r, that should work..11:52
arrrghhhso there's one moar11:53
arrrghhhdoesn't seem to be an lsb_release command11:54
arrrghhhnot sure if there's a cli-way to figure out system image..11:54
rpierce99doesn't need to be cli, i can use the android api11:54
arrrghhhdo you know a way of doing that tho?11:54
rpierce99googling11:55
arrrghhhi don't really know squat about android api's.11:55
arrrghhhlol11:55
arrrghhhgood point.11:55
arrrghhhwell if you can figure that out, would be nice.11:55
arrrghhhif you do uname -a, you can see the full details like when the kernel was built.11:55
rpierce99more verbose is better for this i believe11:56
arrrghhhindeed11:56
arrrghhhso that's a good 'un11:56
arrrghhhuhmmm11:56
arrrghhhi wonder if there's a way to make the RIL cough up what version it's running11:56
rpierce99i bet i know a guy who would make it happen :)11:57
arrrghhhlol11:57
arrrghhhman so my laptop finally died.  completely and utterly, can't even limp along anymore.11:57
rpierce99mac11:58
arrrghhhnoes11:58
arrrghhhi was looking at an hp elitebook.  build quality looks top notch.11:58
arrrghhhi couldn't live with myself if i had a mac.  ironically, i'm giving up the hdmi port if i go elitebook.11:58
arrrghhhone of the reasons i didn't like the mac :P11:58
rpierce99it's a cheap adapter11:59
rpierce99well, it's cheap for me11:59
arrrghhheh12:03
arrrghhhnot sure i could deal with the public humiliation.12:03
rpierce99meh, i don't care what people think of me12:04
rpierce99it helps that i didn't buy it12:04
arrrghhhlol12:04
arrrghhhnot really into flashy12:05
arrrghhhi want functional.12:05
arrrghhhmy last laptop looked flashy, and rugged.  it was only the former.12:05
arrrghhhso short of going with a toughbook, looks aren't at the top of the list ;)12:06
smiley_http://www.youtube.com/embed/fDEDym2LKJQ    froyo on the X1..   works very smooth :)12:06
rpierce99yeah, i tried the 17" elitebook as my work laptop, it was heavy, the power cord was flaky, and i didn't like windows, although it was xp corp image12:06
arrrghhhyea i'm looking at a 15.6"12:08
arrrghhhpower cord flaky?12:08
arrrghhhthat's what i've heard about the MBP's12:08
*** programmer8922 has joined #xdandroid12:08
arrrghhhand i like the magnetic design of the plug, but the cable looks so f-ing cheap.12:08
rpierce99nah the HP's use the standard male in the laptop, female in the cord12:08
rpierce99the male in the laptop bends and breaks too freqently12:09
arrrghhhi was talking about the mbp12:09
rpierce99i love the MBP power cord12:09
arrrghhhin reference to the mag design.12:09
arrrghhhalso, i must have winblows for work.12:09
smiley_rpierce99: me too ;)12:09
rpierce99yeah i have that in a VM12:09
arrrghhhwhen no body needs mac trash :P12:09
arrrghhhyea, i have a VM on my server for that.12:10
smiley_I use windows to test that the application I'm working on works in Windows ;)12:10
arrrghhhi was just using rdp to get to it from my linux laptop.12:10
arrrghhhnot a great test smiley_ :P12:10
*** programmer8922 has quit IRC12:11
smiley_hehe.. the basic stuff..  that it launches and don't look strange ;)12:11
arrrghhhhehe12:11
*** programmer8922 has joined #xdandroid12:11
arrrghhhhmmm12:11
arrrghhhi do like the mag plug on the mbp.  i don't think that's a good enough reason to buy something tho :P12:12
smiley_arrrghhh: you probably gonna hate me even more when I say that I develop java apps in OSX ;)12:12
arrrghhhlol12:12
arrrghhheh12:12
arrrghhhi don't really develop anything, so there.12:13
arrrghhhexcept for scripts sometimes and it sounds like I'll be learning VXML12:13
arrrghhhor some such thing for CVP12:13
smiley_oh..  we did some telephone application with VXML a few years ago12:14
arrrghhhyup12:15
*** programmer8922 has quit IRC12:16
arrrghhhhrm12:27
arrrghhhi guess i should price out a mbp12:27
arrrghhhdamnit.  i don't know what i want, it seems the perfect laptop still doesn't exist :P12:27
Detulei hear people holding their breath for the asus u36sd12:28
arrrghhheh12:28
arrrghhhi don't need extremely thin&light12:28
Detulethat's like saying "i don't need a hot&smart girl"12:29
arrrghhhuhm...12:29
arrrghhhwhy?  usually ultraportable means shitty specs.12:30
arrrghhhi'd rather have better specs & spend a little more.12:30
arrrghhhi like the fat, expensive girls.12:30
arrrghhhi want something that's going to last.  if i'm going to spend $1500+ on a laptop, i'm going to use it until the wheel's fall off.12:31
arrrghhhi limped along with this freakin crappy alienware for far too long, but i did manage to get 5+ years out of it.  i want to get at least that again.12:31
Detulei guess looking at some of the specs, there don't seem to be huge sacrifices in terms of performance....on the other side i have always been the type of person that have prefered onboard graphics to cards etc12:32
arrrghhhorly12:32
arrrghhhi prefer having a dedicated card..12:32
arrrghhhi've never understood the power plugs on PCs tho.  it seems like no one has a good design there.12:34
arrrghhhMac's have the magplug, which seems nice.. but then the cord itself is crap (from what i've seen, the cord going into the plug is fragile... like on dell's.)12:35
Detulemake sure whatever card you are getting plays nicely with your favorite distro...i have seen many a laptop running linux with a useless video card....12:37
arrrghhhheh12:37
arrrghhhi've heard the new graphics switching lappys are a bitch on Linux.12:37
arrrghhhlike people can get one card to work (usually the on-board one) but switching to the discrete card blows stuff up.12:38
arrrghhhi usually prefer nvidia tho, they have usually worked well for me - when i've heard horror stories of ati, even still.12:39

arrrghhhi just need to buy 5 laptops, and keep them all.  then i'll rip them all apart and make the best laptop evar.12:55
arrrghhhi'm sure it'll work out well.  i'm accepting donations if anyone wants to help contribute :D12:55

arrrghhhor getprop i guess13:17
rpierce99getprop, yep13:17
arrrghhhnice13:18
rpierce99that way i get stuff added by the system too13:18
arrrghhhsolves the build problem13:18
smiley_and there did the X1 kernel panic again..  damn pppd ;)13:18
arrrghhhyup13:18
rpierce99also gets ril version13:21
rpierce99baseband version13:21
arrrghhhawesome13:22
arrrghhhi was reading logs13:22
arrrghhhis there anyway to relate the timestamps in dmesg to real timestamps?13:22
rpierce99we found that the kernel is dumping timestamps on suspend and resume, so it is algorythmically (?) possible, but wow, it would be slow in this setup13:25
rpierce99you'd have to search for suspend and resume timestamps, calculate the offsets, and then replace13:25
rpierce99hyc was looking into syslogd but found it won't work13:25
smiley_arrrghhh: fragile?  I have been having magplug since 2007 without any problems13:26
arrrghhhsmiley_, just heard of horror stories.  but all laptops have those.13:26
smiley_yeah13:26
arrrghhhi'm sure you heard of the power bricks bursting into flames.13:26
smiley_yeah13:27
smiley_and phones exploding13:27
arrrghhhi've had an alienware laptop since 2004 with an awful plug design, and it's still working great.13:27
arrrghhh(the plug that is)13:27
arrrghhhthe laptop, not so much.13:27
arrrghhhbut my gf's dell from 2009 already has a bad power plug - but she wasn't very careful.  so a lot of it depends on how you take care of your stuff.13:28
arrrghhhshe has my power plug from my work laptop right now, i'm worried she's going to break that one too :P13:28
arrrghhhi think based on price&features, i'll sacrifice the lack of a HDMI port and go with an elitebook.13:33

hycI got syslgod to work but it's still a dumb solution15:34
hycI think it'll be better to write a specific klog dumper for us15:34
arrrghhhsysGOD15:35
hycyou can try syslogd yourself: rename /dev/log to anything else first, then start syslogd, then start klogd15:35
arrrghhhlol15:35
arrrghhhsounds silly.15:35
hycthen rename /dev/log to /dev/syslog15:35
arrrghhhi guess if it works...15:35
hycand rename the original /dev/log back to itself15:35
arrrghhhhahahaha15:35
hycyeah, it's stupid, but I was just mucking around to see what it would get15:36
hycI used syslogd -C, so it logs in RAM15:36
hycthen you use logread to dump outthe RAM15:36
arrrghhhhuh15:36
arrrghhhbut you then get time logging properly?15:36
hycI think that's just stupid, since the klog is already in a RAM buffer, why use two RAM buffers for the same data?15:37
