IO schedules other than noop?
I run my N800 with root on an SDHC card (to get a bit more room on root), and I've notices quite a few cases where the system becomes unresponsive due to mmcq blocking for a long time. I'd guess that when a lot of writes get flushed to the card, the system can backlog while the card writes the data. Has anybody played with IO schedulers other than the NOOP scheduler? It seems to me that perhaps using deadline, with writes having a large deadline and read a small deadline might help address this. ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers

Re: Samba support dropped (was Re: N810 WE)
>From previous comments by Nokia, the reason that SMB support is being dropped is that Gnome VFS support is being dropped, and that was how SMB was being supported in the previous versions. OK, I can understand that: I always felt that userspace was the wrong place to manage file systems anyway. Also in previous comments, Nokia has indicated that they feel that adding support for things like SMB/CIFS can be handled by the community. OK, fair enough, but then here's what I see Nokia needs to do in order to enable that: 1) Provide a reasonable means to supply kernel modules against the stock kernel as supplied by Nokia in the official repositories. "The community" cannot provide anything if the next update from Nokia will break everything by removing the needed kernel modules. I would suggest that for in-tree kernel modules there needs to be a means by which the community can identify what modules are of interest, and those modules can be added to a list of modules that will be automatically built when a new kernel is build, and each module then be packaged as a separate package which can be added as a dependency of any package that needs it. For out of tree modules, there needs to be a good way "the community" can provide a package to Nokia such that the out-of-tree module can also be built and made available. 2) Provide (AND DOCUMENT) hooks into the file manager and file selector dialogs for the following events: a) enumerate file systems b) select an enumerated file system. Such that a user provided module can add potential new file systems to the file manager dialog, and interact with the user when one of those file systems is selected. Then the community can write code to add file systems to the tablet. Use case 1: Home user with windows network. User wants to view a media file served from a Windows PC sharing a folder via CIFS (Microsoft networking) as \\PC\MEDIA. User opens the Media Player on the Device. User opens the File Selector. File Selector lets all Modules know a file system enumeration is in progress. CIFS Module enumerates all available CIFS servers (in this case, the Windows PC), and adds them to the File Selector File Selector shows something like: N900 Videos Audio Other CIFS PC MEDIA User selects PC\MEDIA. File selector informs CIFS Module. CIFS Module prompts user for any needed information (user to log in as, password). CIFS Module saves any data needed for later. CIFS Module mounts \\PC\MEDIA and informs File Selector where that is. File Selector shows the user the files. User selects file Media Player loads file and plays it. NOTE: It may be that the CIFS module handles enumeration of file systems in the background, and even automatically mounts known file systems without user interaction. This could be extended to NFS (discovery via Zeroconf), SSHFS, or anything else. ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers

Re: RFC: Proposal to solve multiple repository, poor QA situation
May I suggest that the uploads consist of source, not pre-built binary .deb's? This helps in several ways: 1) it helps reduce (but not eliminate) the risk of trojans. 2) It helps when a newer version of the system comes out, as the source is guaranteed to be available. 3) It eases the signing of packaged by a trusted authority. 4) It helps guarantee the requirements of the package are consistent with the current release. 5) It forces developers to make their code build cleanly and easily. And now I'm going to say something that will probably draw great ire from some folks: When a program is being evaluated for inclusion, the presence of any compiler warnings in the build should be taken as a red flag. Programmers who take the time to make their code compile cleanly with "-Wall -Wextra -Werror -fmudflap" tend to have fewer errors in their code. Compiler "warnings" are rarely just warnings - they are errors, bugs waiting to happen. I'm not saying "non-zero warnings := rejection", but it should be taken as an opportunity for constructive feedback to the programmer. ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers

Yes and no. The actual program does, but it is started with a "-nolisten tcp" which disables that functionality. If you go into the startup script for it and remove the nolisten option then it will accept X connections. However, what is your use case for this?

Re: Cannot install osso-rtcom-beta 1.0.1, missing evolution-data-server = 1.4.2.1r554-3.1
I finally managed to get a big enough hammer to drive the upgrade through. It turns out that the older farsight libraries don't get automatically removed when you attempt to install the newer libraries. What I did was to drop to a root shell, then try apt-get install osso-rtcom-beta Note the missing libraries apt-get indicates (which are different than what the application manager says), then directly download them from the rtcom-beta repository. Then attempt to install each library via dpkg. For each library, dpkg will complain about attempting to overwrite a file owned by another package (the older version of the package). dpkg -r the offending package, then install the new package. Then once again try the apt-get install osso-rtcom-beta, and iterate until it succeeds. I'd suggest the next time the new libraries are built, it might be wise to have the .deb indicate that they obsolete all previous versions of the library. ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers

Yes, USB can have a different class for each interface, with multiple interfaces within a given configuration - so you can have an device with multiple configurations, one configuration offering USB storage, one offering USB networking, one offering USB serial, and one offering all of the above, each on different endpoints. However, I don't know how well certain program launchers masquerading as operating systems would handle such devices, and I think that's why most devices restrict themselves to only one interface per configuration. ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers

All the kernel needs to do is provide DBUS messages for: Outbound packet detected with interface down More than $TIME has elapsed without an outbound packet. You could probably plug into iptables for this - just have an iptables plugin for generating a DBUS message on a matching packet. This has the advantage of being a nice general tool, which can be used for other things (e.g. notification of the firewall blocking a packet) as well. You then have an application watching for that event, and bringing up the connection dialog when needed. Once the connection is established, the application then: Signals the kernel to retry the packet Disables the iptables rule if needed. Watches the packet count on the interface to determine activity. When the packet count does not increase for some period of time, re-instate the iptables rule and down the interface. Of course, if the user forces the interface up directly, then all that becomes moot - you leave the interface up until it fails, or until the user tells you otherwise. > Sounds a bit complicated to do this in kernel. How would the > application notify that it doesn't need the connection anymore? The whole problem here is that the application *cannot* make the decision about whether the connection is needed, as it simply does not have the information needed. The application may know it wants to talk to a server, but the application may not know if that server is local to the device or remote, and requiring a connection - the browser being a perfect example of this. The browser would have to evaluate every host's address to determine routability - but that in and of itself may or may not require bringing up the interface to do a DNS query, and there is no way for the browser to know that until it does the query. And how can the application decide it does not need the connection? Again, to pick on the poor browser - how does the browser know that it is done loading the page? What if there is a META refresh on the page? What if there is AJAX running? All the application can say is that *at this moment* it doesn't need a connection. ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers

The current method Maemo uses to detect an application wanting to access the Internet (by using ld.so tricks to hook into the socket() call) seems kind of kludgy to me - why not use the same sort of trick that PPP uses, where a network interface always exists and is tied to the default route, and when a packet is delivered to that interface for routing THEN bring up the appropriate connections. It would take modifications to the kernel - ideally some sort of DBUS message when a packet needs to be routed - but this would remove the need to hook into applications, and allow ANY app to generate a request for connection. ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers

Re: A Pitch for making SAMBA Server a core part of the N800 OS
I don't think that Samba the server would be a great idea in the Maemo environment. It introduces a security risk when the device is roaming - you would be sharing your files with whoever happened to be in the cybercafe/truck stop/library/* when you connected. Also, since Samba is just a user-space app, there is little reason a user who wants to add it cannot do so. However, I *would* like to see the CIFS/SMB file system modules be a standard part of the released kernels, and would like to suggest that support for finding servers on the local network be added to the file manager, just as Bluetooth and UPnP shared media is now (in the N800 release, anyway). Let's face it - most N800 owners will have Windows PCs: if the N800 can find those machines and access shared media on them it would go a long way to making the Maemo platform much more useful for many people. Of course, I'd also like to see NFS and Novell-over-IP clients in the kernel, and support for discovery of them added as well, as that would really Maemo shine in a corporate environment (along with a mail client THAT SUPPORTS IMAP SUBFOLDERS AND LDAP!, but that's off-topic.) ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers

Some variants that come to mind: The meta package could depend on 'this version or later' of a package instead of on "exactly this version'. That would allow it to control the update just as much, but would not lock down the configuration of the device so much. The motivation for this lock-down of the device configuration is that Nokia (probably, IANAL) doesn't want to support any other configuration, and having to 'hack' your system via the red-pill mode or similar is a good indication that you are now on your own. Might I suggest two meta packages - one locked down to "This version only" and one specifying "this version or later." Have a mechanism whereby a power user can upgrade from meta-lockdown to meta-power (e.g. red pill mode).

Re: [maemo-developers] Fake IAP connection or how to use local web applications
It seems to me that the approach used by demand-dial PPP would be the better fit here: 1) Create a network interface that is the default route. The presence of this interface does NOT imply the connection is actually up. 2) Upon a packet being routed to the interface, THEN search for the connection and bring it up. This has a LOT of advantages: 1) Server applications can listen on 0.0.0.0 and not be bringing the interface up. 2) No hackery with the libraries - a standard application can cause the interface to come up. 3) The system can move between networks more cleanly - only applications which bind to the actual interface address will be messed up, applications binding to 0.0.0.0 will work. Ideally, what I think would be best would be if the upstream Linux kernel driver for WiFi would allow this sort of behavior (as this is a problem for ANY Linux + WiFi system), and the kernel would send out DBUS messages to indicate that a connection is needed - then a user space agent could do the work of locating the connection and setting it up. ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers

Ideally, the device would allow you to specify a search domain, AND accept the domain from DHCP as a second search, and add them both to resolv.conf as search domains - but it doesn't. ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
