00:01:31amiconnXShocK: The replaced functions seem to be not completely useless, at least with the 1.65 firmware... (thinking about the .ogg playback problem)
00:01:54XShocKamiconn: i might be a little bit outdated. :)
00:02:57rasherindeed, something fishy's happening on 1.65
00:04:30amiconnrasher: Would be interesting to compile the codec plugins with sectioned compilation + linker garbage collection. There should be quite a number of unused functions...

00:06:45XShocKamiconn: final hex becomes around 90kb bigger
00:07:03XShocKthan the original
00:08:00XShocKto be exact 111,834kb
00:10:44XShocKi don't really understand why we need original firmware anyway, better solution would be just to have a failsafe mode + loading orig. frimware from disk.
00:12:18XShocKcompressed version of original version is 800kb
00:13:34 Join arfo_ [0] (~arfo@p213.54.202.176.tisdip.tiscali.de)
00:14:23amiconnQuite big compared to the archos firmware... but then it's multiple codecs, all in software
00:14:49 Part arfo_

00:36:36preglowred led death?
00:36:37HClis or was?
00:36:48amiconnWas, now ;)
00:36:52HClgood :P
00:36:53Bagderit'll remain the most famous even after fixed ;-)
00:37:03preglowi haven't heard much about it
00:37:06preglowwhat is/was it?
00:37:07Bagderwe'll talk about it around the camp fires
00:37:19amiconnrasher: It's been there for years now. See http://www.rockbox.org/bugs.shtml the very first entry...
00:37:21HCl"back when i was young, we used to have the rld bug!"
00:37:22rasherpreglow: subscribe to the damn mailinglist already
00:37:30preglowi've been on it for ages
00:37:46rasheroh ah
00:37:50preglowi don't read archos related posts
00:37:54amiconnHowever, the reason for the bug changed
00:38:17rasherI find myself reading most of the posts
00:38:31amiconnFirst, it was that the hitachi disk simply won't answer if they time out. They need a (soft) reset, which Linus added....
00:39:08amiconn...but accidentally used a mutexed function for that, calling it from within a mutexed function...
00:39:15preglowhah
00:39:52rasherhilarity ensued
00:40:07amiconnFix committed.
00:40:32rasherthis mandates a digest entry
00:41:43Bagderpossibly await testing results from some of the frequent victims of this bug
00:41:52amiconnYeps
00:42:09amiconnI know a quite reliable way, just it will take a while
00:42:42amiconnI need to run my player in the car, and run out of batteries while driving. This _always_ ended in an rld before...
00:43:50rashertalk to me about running out of batteries taking a while
00:43:57amiconnI knew there was a reason why I kept the 10 GB hitachi hd in the player and didn't swap it for the 20 GB IBM...
00:44:02rasherthose iriver battery tests were the height of boredom
00:44:48preglownow let me tell you of a little thing called imdct
00:45:06amiconnDid you find something about the slowdown?
00:45:16preglowno
00:45:46rasherthat is a horrible tale of misfortune :<
00:45:49preglowi could try to work on it some more now, but i'm a couple of notches too tired
00:47:10preglowi suspected the code was misaligned, but no
00:47:49preglowlinus said he'd shove it through the bdm one day, perhaps that'll clear some things

00:51:58HClan gdb stub would be good too
00:52:14preglowmyes, i'd actually consider finding a fancy way to make use of that serial port
00:52:25preglowsince i more or less always have to test my code on target :/
00:52:35HClwe already have a gdb stub for archos
00:52:38HClno idea how portable that is
00:55:17*preglow grumbles and makes a cup of coffee
00:57:19HClpoor preglow :/
00:57:27 Quit Aison ("( www.nnscript.de :: NoNameScript 3.72 :: www.XLhost.de )")
00:57:29*amiconn prepares to run a really extensive set for hunting the recording problem on archos
00:58:31amiconnThis will keep my recorder busy for weeks...
00:59:13HClwhat recording problem?
00:59:16preglowthe rigours of development
00:59:23HClyup
00:59:36MoosCamaroIt's a pity amiconn don't work in iriver :(
01:00
01:00:37HClonly because he doesn't have one
01:00:55*HCl does an cvs update and finds something that he thought he committed days ago o.o;
01:00:58*HCl commits.
01:01:42amiconnHCl: There is a problem with recording on archos. With high quality settings and high sample rate, the recording 'breaks down' at some time within the recording, producing only corrupt frames after that point
01:01:50HClodd..
01:02:01preglowand it's not a mas problem?
01:02:07amiconnIt might be either a problem of our transfer routines, or a MAS problem
01:02:26preglowlet me tell you how eternally gratefull i am that i will never write a codec for that chip
01:02:27HClmhm...
01:02:32HCl :)
01:02:36amiconnI have a suspicion, but to verify if, I need to do test recordings with all possible combinations...
01:02:51HClwhats your suspicion?
01:02:51amiconnpreglow: This is harvard....
01:03:05rasheramiconn: better write up a matrix sooner rather than later :(
01:03:08amiconn....and the test recordings need to be longer ones
01:03:13preglowamiconn: all dsps are harvard
01:03:16preglowamiconn: all i know of, at least
01:03:54amiconnpreglow: There are some docs... from looking at them, writing code is really an ugly piece of ****
01:04:13preglowamiconn: yes, my statement is based on having read those docs
01:04:22amiconnIt's harvard, has only little ram, and you need to synchronise the ops manually...
01:05:35amiconnHCl: My suspicion is that the MAS cannot handle m/s stereo properly at higher quality settings
01:06:12amiconnArchos firmware recording doesn't have this problem, and it uses simple stereo, not m/s....
01:06:30preglowwell, why don't you try feeding it difficult frames?
01:06:47amiconnTalking encoding here...
01:06:59amiconnBut then archos firmware does have another problem with long recordings... it sometimes simply freezes
01:07:07 Join |it|ChasKi` [0] (~faggotypa@82-69-23-235.dsl.in-addr.zen.co.uk)
01:07:09preglowyes, i know we're talking encoding
01:07:11 Nick tvelocity is now known as tvelocity[away] (~tony@ipa157.7.tellas.gr)
01:07:27amiconnSo how do you mean, feed it difficult frames?
01:07:37amiconnFeeding white noise, or what?
01:07:40preglowdata that's hard to encode
01:07:51preglowdepends on what you mean by 'higher quality settings'
01:08:03preglowwhite noise isn't necessarily that hard to encode
01:08:43amiconnThe MAS has only a rough method to set the desired average bitrate, a quality value, ranging 0..7
01:09:23amiconnMy idea is to test all possible combos of quality setting, sample frequency, mono/stereo
01:09:44amiconnAll this with and without m/s stereo enabled
01:10:18amiconn...doing at least 5 recordings of 2 h each, the check the mp3 files with mp3utility or similar
01:10:33amiconnI can probably cut short at some points
01:10:34HClsounds like a hell of a task, heh
01:10:35HCl :x
01:11:10amiconnLike, when going down with the quality value, and q=3 doesn't produce any errors, I can skip doing 2..0
01:11:40preglowwhy don't you use ordinary stereo at higher quality settings anyway? i believe that's the usual practice
01:11:41rasherbinary bugtesting
01:12:11amiconnpreglow: Even the highest quality setting isn't really high quality mp3 wise
01:12:19preglowdoesn't surprise me
01:12:28preglowdecent encoding is very resource intensive
01:12:37amiconnThe mas won't produce any frame with bitrate >192 kbps, and the average is ~175 kbps
01:12:53preglowit probably doesn't have enough ram for such frames, heh
01:13:06amiconnIt does for decoding...
01:13:34preglowencoding is quite a bit worse than decoding
01:13:41amiconnIt even handles the highest mp2 bitrate properly, which is 384 kbps
01:14:01preglowyeah, the frames themselves aren't very large
01:14:03amiconnpreglow: Yes, but the ram is the same
01:14:20amiconnThe codec itself doesn't reside in ram, but in rom
01:16:23amiconnMy guess for the frame size limit on encoding would be the limited processing power
01:16:48preglowhmm
01:16:49preglowmight be
01:17:47amiconnThe mas is running at 18.4 MHz
01:18:03preglowit's a frigging miracle it gets anything done at all
01:18:06amiconnTry to beat that with libmad ;)
01:18:28preglowahaha
01:18:57preglowif i double the efficiency it'll be realtime at 30mhz or something
01:19:06preglowand i'll be very, very hard pressed to do that

10:04:23LinusNthe thing is that the bootloader reads the keys after the entire initialization is done

10:47:24BagderHCl: people will upgrade when MS drops support of their older win versions, I'm sure
10:49:31ashridahwhat are you talking about? people still use NT4 and win95, and neither of those have had support for years
10:49:50Bagdersome do, yes
10:49:55Bagderbut many follow
10:50:01LinusNashridah: of course, but the vast majority will upgrade
10:50:39LinusNdo not underestimate the power of the dark side
10:50:46ashridahi'm not sure it's as true. it becomes more true over time, as older pcs are discarded
10:50:55ashridahbut not because ms stops support
10:51:09LinusNashridah: true
10:51:16BagderI'd say it is both
10:51:34LinusNthe corporations need the support
10:51:36Bagderand that all new PCs will have the new MS os installed
10:51:40LinusNhome users don't care
10:51:48ashridahi know people who STILL keep installing nt4 on stuff because it's what they know. and lots of existing sites don't rip out stuff that works unless they can possibly help it
10:52:38Bagderthere are people using C64s too
10:52:51Bagderthe vast majority don't however
10:53:18BagderI'm just saying tcpa or not makes very little difference
10:54:04ashridahtcpa might actually be useful, just not the way ms wants it to be.
10:54:12Lynx_just wait until dell and co stop delivering drivers for old windows versions. ist really hard getting a new dell laptop to run win2000 already.
10:54:23Lynx_s/ist/it's/
10:54:44ashridahLynx_: yes, which is why i said discarding old pcs tends to be the driving force behind upgrades.
10:55:34ashridahon the desktop side of things, that usually happens before the service period ends, but certainly not in the server world.
10:56:29Lynx_hmm, i'm not sure the server world will have too much an impact on the success of longhorn?
10:57:54LinusNcall me a cynic, but longhorn isn't about success or not, the consumers don't have a choice
10:58:44LinusNtheir choice is to run another os
10:58:52ashridahnope. there'll be a crossover period where one can get XP or longhorn on a new laptop, but that'll shift pretty quick.
10:59:08LinusNif they want windows, longhorn it will be
10:59:17LinusNsooner or later
10:59:19amiconnLinusN?
10:59:27ashridahbut it'll take the expiry of existing hardware (either at the end of a service contract with a pc supplier, or age in general) to force the mass move to longhorn
10:59:36t0mashm...
10:59:41LinusNamiconn: yes?
10:59:50t0masI guess... with some right marketing linux can make use of tcpa

11:00:20ashridahthe big problem is that tcpa keeps getting associated with DRM

11:01:02ashridaht0mas: there's nothing intrinsically wrong with tcpa as a general idea, the problem is with whom the ultimate control lies.

11:14:57LinusNit's easy to come up with doomsday arguments against tcpa
11:15:19LinusNnobody knows how true they will be
11:16:02LinusNthe problem is that tcpa certainly seems to pave the way
11:16:21HClashridah: woah, let me get one thing straight, tcpa *does not* protect your computer.
11:16:29HClit only limits the software you're allowed to run
11:16:47HClin order to make people pay for software more
11:16:51HClrather than copying it
11:17:26HClalso, linux will be possible, but it will effectively kill oss since you'd have to buy an entirely new certificate if you'd even make a tiny change to the kernel
11:17:38HClnot to mention the entire kernel has to be screened before it'll be accepted
11:17:47ashridahHCl: not if you're the one doing the signing.
11:17:56HClum.
11:18:05HCli highly doubt that any end user will be able to sign, lol.
11:18:13HClthat would completely destroy the entire purpose of tcpa ;p
11:19:26ashridahthat depends on which way you use it.
11:19:40HClthat depends on which way microsoft uses it, heh
11:19:43ashridahyou can use it to protect software you distribute to other people, thus, windows can use it to enforce drm.
11:20:07ashridahbut if you implemented in your own linux kernel, signed your own software, and then took that stuff off the net, it becomes a far more advanced tripwire
11:20:21HClas far as i know, it will not allow people to "sign" software.
11:20:22ashridahsince the pc literally refuses to run signed stuff, and you've signed your own gear.
11:20:51ashridahnow, if pc manufacturers are the ones holding the signing process, that clearly fucks things up.
11:21:01HClyes, thats the entire idea, they will :p
11:21:19t0masofcourse they will...
11:21:22Rickimagine a h120 with tcpa in it, ebil >:o
11:21:28HClusers will just have access to signing documents and stuff like that
11:21:33Rickno rockbox ;(
11:21:37HClbut nothing that can potentially breach security, like software
11:21:41t0masHCl: no, that will be done automaticly ;)

11:28:09rob-As far as I understand, tcpa will be able to be disabled by the user, in which case it will act exactly like a pc without it. Of cource any software that relies on it for drm won't work.
11:28:44preglowahh, that's a fine initiative
11:29:04ashridahrob-: which won't matter one iota to someone running linux in the first place
11:29:12rob-exactly
11:30:33ashridahthe only people who have anything to fear from DRM are people who use proprietary software. same goes for TCPA.
11:30:52ashridahand to a lesser extent, since TCPA can simply be disabled.
11:30:53rob-and it can actually help the security of linux by allowing you to verify the authenticity of all programs running.
11:31:06*ashridah nods.
11:31:10ashridahcan't modify it without resigning it
11:31:24ashridahthus it becomes all good until someone invents a constant-time factorisation algorithm :)
11:31:33rob-great for servers:-)
11:31:53*ashridah could seriously see tcpa as a souped up tripwire in the right setting
11:32:10ashridahirritating for a developer's platform tho
11:32:11LinusNtcpa will probably be used to sign documents etc

11:33:17rob-just like encrypted pdfs today.
11:33:25ashridahLinusN: yeah, but if the signature is done in tcpa, wouldn't that imply that any software can unencrypt the data, provided it has the keys? and wouldn't the key need to be distributed to the people whom are supposed to be reading it?
11:33:43ashridahor do you encrypt it with THEIR key to start with, again, what's the problem, if it's tcpa's job to decode it?
11:34:18ashridahit looks more like 'i'm me, i'm the recipient, give me the raw data' wihch you then feed to openoffice.
11:35:07HCli think it'll mostly annihilate copying software (illegally)
11:35:11ashridahat least, from the looks of the tcpa pdf you mentioned before (which looks more plausible than most other doomsday scenarios, (like windows media player actually NEEDS tcpa to drm at all)
11:35:24*LinusN goes to lunch
11:35:32HClhttp://www.againsttcpa.com/tcpa-faq-en.html
11:35:38ashridahHCl: that's not necessarily a bad thing. it could be really really frustrating, particularly if a vendor dies
11:35:49HClhm?
11:36:22ashridahif a company dies however, legally, they're obligated to give you everything you need to maintain the support implied in anything you signed. (of course, for shrink wrap software, that support isn't much)
11:36:52amiconnLinusN: I mean, any comments on the recording loop, planned recording tests and/or the rld report?
11:37:06rob-That will be an advantage for opensource, until the vendors realize that drm hurts their business
11:41:02ashridahthe part that annoys me the most is that any stupid law like CBDTPA that'd really fuck over non-drm'ed machines would automatically get accepted by our country, just because america likes shooting itself in the foot.
11:42:40HClheh..

11:43:43ashridahthe only companies that a law like CBDTPA would help would be hardware manufacturers and microsoft.
11:43:50rob-that's what happens when the law makers are controlled by corperations
11:43:54ashridah(in the short to medium term)
11:46:21preglowwouldn't be the first time a law happends to cater to big companies, no
11:47:17ashridahyeah. those guns those nuts claim are to protect them from the government or the kind of england (long live the king) clearly need some dusting off :)
11:48:51ashridahhm. perhaps in order to protest it, we should suggest to the protestors that they dress the law up like the king of england (long live the king)
11:49:01ashridahnevermind that the king is actually a queen atm, but yeah: )

12:50:55LinusNamiconn: are there any drawbacks with the alternate C version?
12:52:11amiconnI did not observe any... It only is a little larger than the asm version
12:52:17 Quit |it|ChasKi` (Read error: 145 (Connection timed out))
12:52:21amiconn(because of the timeout handling I think)
12:53:03amiconnI have the alternate routine enabled in all my personal builds for a while, both for my rec v1 and my sis' Ondio FM
12:53:28amiconnThen I don't record often
12:53:41LinusNlet's commit it
12:54:38preglowdo you have any idea why the bootloader destroys vorbis playback?
12:54:54LinusNno
12:55:02preglowsounds incredibly unlikely that modifying your firmware would have such a subtle effect
12:55:38LinusNbut i guess they assume that the onboard peripherals are uninitialized, and the boot loader changes that
12:55:59preglowprobably, but vorbis playback, of all things?
12:56:07LinusNweird indeed
12:57:12LinusNhmmm, i have an idea for a test
12:58:28LinusNanyone here up for a test with the 1.65 firmware?
12:59:22preglowdon't know how keen i am to possibly destroy my vorbis playback, since most of my files are vorbis...
12:59:40dwihnoI see Jens' did some kind of ATA thing... Supposedly it helps RLD. Any confirmations on this one?
13:00
13:00:06preglowwell, he thinks he's got it fixed

13:04:16LinusNpreglow: any ideas about the imdct_l issue?
13:04:18dwihnoMy disk has started to "click" occasionally (it reads/writes lot of data, clicks and then resumes without any error)
13:04:35dwihnoSupposedly I should check the backup's ok
13:05:20preglowLinusN: none, and no time, i have to code other things these days
13:05:49LinusNhow often is imdct_l called?
13:05:52preglowit's not cache issue, and it's not misalinged, that's more or less what i know
13:05:54preglowvery often
13:05:57preglowonce for every subband
13:06:03preglowwhich there are 32 of, i think
13:06:19preglowtimes two for stereo
13:06:39LinusNok, and you tried to exit before the loop, and it was still slower than the original?
13:06:40preglowand a frame isn't very long, so it's called pretty often
13:06:43preglowyep
13:06:53LinusNfishy indeed
13:07:04*preglow concurs
13:08:40preglowit's very memory intensive in places
13:08:47preglowthat might be it, but i doubt it, since all data is in iram
13:09:40preglowother places again don't touch memory at all
13:10:35preglowwhen i put the loop in iram, performance went up to old imdct_l standards
13:10:51preglowbut i was thinking more in the lines of better performance than old imdct_l ;)
13:16:56amiconnLinusN: Do you have a clue what might cause the garbled data in case where there would have been an rld before?
13:17:11amiconnShouldn't ata_read_sectors() return an error?
13:17:48HClgarbled data?
13:20:21LinusNamiconn: it probably returns an error, but i guess it isn't handled correctly in all places
13:20:42LinusNi suspect the sector cache in read()
13:25:42LinusNpreglow: isn't the old imdct_l implementation inlined?
13:28:23amiconnLinusN: Iiuc, there should be room for improvement of the retry.
13:28:47LinusNamiconn: probably
13:29:06amiconnAfaics, the retry currently retries the whole transfer, ignoring any sectors that might already be transferred correctly
13:29:29LinusNyes
13:30:12preglowLinusN: yeah
13:30:27*LinusN has a theory
13:30:40preglowi'd sincerely like to hear it if it involves inlining :P
13:31:05LinusNthe cache is one-way only
13:31:42preglowmeaning?
13:31:57LinusNthe imdct_l function may be located such that it occupies the same cache lines as the III_decode loop
13:32:18LinusNso it has to refill the cache for every call to imdct_l
13:32:26LinusNand when it returns
13:32:52LinusNthat wouldn't be a problem with a two-way cache
13:33:04LinusNbut hey, this is coldfire...
13:33:56preglowoccupies the same cache lines? what? i thought physical addresses were pretty irrelevant for caches
13:34:21LinusNon the contrary
13:34:29amiconnThe coldfire cache is direct-mapped, not associative
13:34:34LinusNit's a set-associative cache
13:34:36preglowbahhh!
13:34:40LinusNafaics
13:34:50preglowwell
13:34:54amiconnLinusN: It's set-associative? Maybe I overlooked sth
13:35:03preglowno wonder i get huge friggin boosts from stuffing the loop in sram, then
13:35:18preglowwait, that i still don't understand :V
13:35:18rasherDo I sense a breakthrough?
13:36:20preglownot really
13:36:35preglowthere's not much i think i can do to remedy this anyway
13:36:44LinusNoh yes
13:37:23amiconnMCF5249 manual: 5.1 INSTRUCTION CACHE FEATURES: 8KByte Direct-Mapped Cache
13:37:34LinusNdirect mapped
13:37:55preglowapart from stuffing everything in iram or somehow remapping function locations
13:39:17LinusNamiconn: a direct mapped cache is the same thing as a 1-way set-associative cache
13:39:41LinusNwhich is pretty lame
13:40:16LinusNpreglow: yes, we can make sure that the imdct_l function is right next to the III_decode function in memory
13:40:17amiconnnitpicking? ;)
13:40:24LinusNamiconn: :-)
13:41:36LinusNnot only does the coldfire have an instruction-only cache, it has a *lame* instruction-only cache :-)
13:41:47preglowno surprises
13:41:59Bagderit goes fine with the rest of it ;-)
13:42:10preglowargh

13:43:25LinusNit took one day to ship it to sweden

13:47:58preglowyou aren't hardcore when you endorse mp3 players in your free time, no matter how mean you look
13:48:00rasherFlashblock is pretty good
13:48:10rasherit doesn't do that, but it's fairly nice
13:48:48rasherWhy oh why did they chose to advertise it with a girl who's roughly 50% larger than the DAP
13:48:48preglowLinusN: are fully associative caches common?
13:48:57rasheraren't you supposed to make it look SMALL
13:50:16preglow2 way set-associative looks like a nice trade-off
13:50:48amiconnrasher: I don't see anything on that page.. apart from the top banner and a black window...
13:51:16amiconn...ah, and a faint "roc" background to the left & right
13:51:36rasherWay to have flash not installed/disabled
13:52:40amiconnMeh, web "designers" :/
13:52:50Lynx_rasher: yes, i love flashblock
13:52:51LinusNpreglow: fully-associative caches are extremely uncommon
13:53:47LinusNthey use up huge amounts of die space, and can actually make the system slower
13:54:03LinusNsince the cache search can take time
13:54:09preglowtrue
13:54:13LinusNto find out if it is a hit or not
13:54:37LinusN2-way set would be nice
13:54:50preglowLinusN: but anyway, finding out it your suspicion is correct would just entail having a look at where stuff is mapped after loading mpa2wav, yes?
13:55:00LinusNyes
13:55:07preglowand all plugins are mapped to the same address?

14:08:44LinusNyup
14:09:35amiconnpreglow: Should be easy to find out from the .map file

14:09:53LinusNfrom the .map file, i see that they collide
14:10:07LinusNkurzhaarrocker: yes, if you have run mp3gain on them
14:11:52preglowLinusN: so, how to shuffle stuff around? just move the function definitions around? :P
14:12:05kurzhaarrockerBut why? At first glance ape tags don't seem to contain any volume related info. Do I miss something?
14:12:46LinusNafaik, it's a special ape tag
14:13:00preglowape tags har used for other files as well
14:13:03preglowmusepack especially
14:13:04LinusNcontaining all info needed to reconstruct the original mp3
14:13:13preglowhar = are, yes
14:13:14Bagderafaik, the store undo info in the ape tag they add
14:13:21Bagderthey store
14:13:32Bagdermp3gain that is
14:13:56kurzhaarrockerAh, thats what they call "lossless" :)
14:15:29amiconnkurzhaarrocker: It is lossless as the mp3 compressed data isn't recompressed
14:16:28kurzhaarrockerYou're right: I mustn't mix up "lossless" and "non destructive".
14:17:47amiconnsplitedit.rock is also lossless in this sense
14:18:58kurzhaarrockerHm. Some day I want spitedit to be destructive - maybe next millenium....
14:20:46preglowto split in the middle of frames?
14:22:28kurzhaarrockerNo. Now splitedit writes completely new files. That's not necessary. It could alter the fat, and prepend a sector to the tail file.
14:23:08preglowhahah
14:23:29preglowplugins that modify the file system = the shiznit
14:24:29kurzhaarrockerIt's a question of the api. We could add a function that prepends a disc sector to a file.
14:25:18LinusNkurzhaarrocker: a disk cluster

17:58:10rasherand black

18:00:02preglowhaha
18:00:05preglowdust makes that impossible
18:00:21preglowi tried on black now, and i saw dead pixels everywhere!

18:00:35preglowfuck, shit
18:00:37preglowi've got a dead pixel
18:00:42bobTHChi
18:00:56rasheroh dear
18:01:03rasherhow dead?
18:01:09preglowi've got two of them
18:01:13preglowright next to each other
18:01:16bobTHCpreglow > http://laptopshowcase.co.uk/downloads.php?id=1
18:02:11bobTHCworks fine
18:02:46rasheror just xsetroot
18:03:03preglowbleh
18:03:05bobTHCyep
18:03:13preglowbut first i want to enable dvi
18:18:25preglowarghghhh
18:18:34preglowtwo always on green pixels
18:18:50preglowat least they're not THAT noticable
18:19:32Lynx_preglow: you won't just send it back and order a new one?
18:19:38rasherI have an always on blue one
18:19:43rasherit's not too bad
18:20:18preglowLynx_: that'll take bloody ages
18:20:27t0masisn't there an option in X11 to do something about it?
18:20:36t0masit can be white/blue or black/blue
18:20:36bobTHCxsetroot
18:20:40t0masok
18:20:58Lynx_preglow: every time you will notice the dead pixels for the next few years they will irritate you ;)
18:22:24bobTHCin few years, he will notice some others dead pixels imho
18:23:14*HCl remembers sending his tft back 3 times till he finally got one without a dead pixel
18:23:30bobTHCbad luck
18:23:40HClnah
18:23:45HCli was mostly lucky they let me swap it
18:23:50HClcause technically, they weren't required to.
18:25:41bobTHCtft are too delicate to be shipped
18:26:02Lynx_bobTHC: dead pixels don't come from shipping
18:27:01 Quit |it|ChasKi` (Read error: 145 (Connection timed out))
18:27:11bobTHCnowdays, when they are out from factory tft are dead pixel free
18:27:42Lynx_bobTHC: are you sure? i highly doubt that.
18:28:04bobTHCfor samsung i'm barely sure
18:28:47Lynx_i have never heard of a pixel going dead after buying the tft
18:30:50preglowpeople can ship displays with dead pixels
18:31:02preglowand dell isn't required to take this display back
18:31:42***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
18:31:52Lynx_aren't they required to take anything back?
18:32:04preglowi think they've got a limit on five dead pixels
18:32:09preglowbefore they're letting you have a new one
18:32:32Lynx_it seems samsung is offering a zero pixel defect guarantee, but they just throw out all defect panels after fabrication.
18:33:15Lynx_preglow: i meant the law that lets you send any order back within a few weeks, not lcd specific
18:34:49preglowLynx_: ahh, i don't know if that applies after you've actually opened it
18:35:34Lynx_preglow: well, it wouldn't make much sense if you could not even look at it. i have sent stuff back to amazon that was opened.
18:36:59Lynx_you could also kill 5 more pixels ;)
18:38:10t0mashmm... anybody here knowledgable about SSH?
18:38:23preglowhahah
18:38:36preglowi could of course try massaging these dead pixels and send it back when i have a hundred more
18:38:49t0maspreglow: they'll suspect something then ;)
18:39:10Lynx_before you do that you punch a hole in the box and claim transport damage ;)
18:39:21preglowhaha
18:39:26t0maslol
18:39:27Lynx_t0mas: i know the basics...
18:39:38bobTHCme too t0mas
18:39:38t0masthe protocol basics or the usage?
18:39:45Lynx_t0mas: usage
18:39:47bobTHCuse
18:39:52t0masghehe
18:39:56t0masyes, I know that too
18:40:04Lynx_t0mas: i assumed that :)
18:40:15t0masI need some info on the AES encryption thing used...
18:41:06bobTHChe encryption used by ssh can be either AES-128, 3DES, Blowfish, cast-128, ...
18:41:33t0mashmac-md5
18:41:33bobTHCs/he/
18:42:10t0masbut I don't know what it uses AES for...
18:42:27t0masencryption of the whole session?
18:42:39t0mas(and AES is public-key right?)
18:42:40Lynx_t0mas: yes
18:42:44 Join webguest19 [0] (~c31ce021@labb.contactor.se)
18:42:49t0masok, not key exchange only?
18:43:08t0masas I thought it exchanged the keys for some normal non public key thing with AES
18:43:26bobTHCto remotely send and receive files under the strong encryption
18:43:29Lynx_t0mas: as far as i understand the whole session is aes
18:43:44t0masok, no switching...
18:43:49t0masor AES isn't public key?
18:46:19bobTHCAES is symetric
18:46:31t0masok
18:46:47t0masehrm... how does it send keys?
18:47:22Lynx_hmm, there is a transport layer and a user authentication layer...
18:47:58Lynx_ah, it uses rsa / dsa
18:48:54t0masok
18:50:10t0masjust wondering...
18:50:10t0masdebug1: SSH2_MSG_KEXINIT sent
18:50:10t0masdebug1: SSH2_MSG_KEXINIT received
18:50:10t0masdebug1: kex: server->client aes128-cbc hmac-md5 none
18:50:10t0masdebug1: kex: client->server aes128-cbc hmac-md5 none
18:50:28t0maskex = Key Exchange I guess... and it uses aes128-cbc for that..
18:50:36t0masso AES for keyexchange?
18:50:54bobTHChttp://www.windowsecurity.com/articles/SSH.html
18:51:25t0mastnx
18:51:28*t0mas is away: eating
18:53:14bobTHCthere is no server key. The session key produced by Diffie-Hellman is used to encrypt the real session key. Once the session key has been established, the traffic is encrypted using one of the following symmetric algorithms: 128 bit AES,Blowfish,3DES,CAST128,Arcfour,192 bit AES, 256 bit AES

20:31:05preglowLinusN: most definitely
20:31:42preglownow it's just a tiny bit slower than the old one

20:33:06LinusN15.55.16 # <preglow> the old imdct_l including windowing is about as fast as the new imdct excluding windowing
20:33:28preglowyes, exactly
20:34:00LinusNso we still have a mystery to solve :-)
20:34:17preglowwell, are you completely certain that i just isn't plain slower in some way?
20:34:24preglowthe other one promises to be very fast once it's in cache
20:34:27preglowsince all constants are code
20:34:38preglowand a immediate move takes one cycle if it's cached
20:34:40LinusNtrue, true
20:34:47preglowthen again, so should a move from iram...
20:34:52preglowand it's smaller in code to boot
