**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Sep 25 02:59:56 2007 Sep 25 03:39:00 any insights as to why maemo doesn't have the latest flash version? Sep 25 03:39:10 is it just that it's not ported yet or are there technical constraints? Sep 25 04:12:12 hi all...im trying to install maemo to start learn about it.. ( http://www.internettablettalk.com/wiki/index.php/Installing_Maemo_SDK_on_Scratchbox ) ...ive followed this but i cant see the maemo nice window...here is my problem ( http://paste.uni.cc/17193 )..anybody could help me? Sep 25 07:28:55 Any graphics artists out there? Here are the controls needed for onscreen buttons / thumb/stylus for xu4 Sep 25 07:34:32 Morning, all Sep 25 08:18:05 anybody can tell me "How can i build dev package for n700" pls Sep 25 08:18:31 please anybody help me . Sep 25 08:19:54 How can i build dev package for N700 ? please anybody tell me. Sep 25 08:23:26 Big_B: dev package of what ? Sep 25 08:25:53 for maemo +n700 device Sep 25 08:26:07 dev or deb? Sep 25 08:26:16 oh sorry deb Sep 25 08:26:40 apt-get source to get sources Sep 25 08:26:59 in scratchbox, dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -b in the source directory to build the package Sep 25 08:27:28 Pupnik : ok Sep 25 08:27:54 I m following your instruction Pupnik Sep 25 08:28:22 Please continue to help me Sep 25 08:28:36 to apt-get a source you will need deb-src defined in your /etc/apt/sources.list Sep 25 08:29:08 just for example, deb-src http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ sid main contrib non-free Sep 25 08:29:44 but that will get you sid packages, you might be better off getting older packages Sep 25 08:31:03 ok Sep 25 08:32:19 those commands also make good additions to search terms for google, if you need to read up on more background information Sep 25 08:32:37 porting? Sep 25 08:32:37 <_Monkey> porting is http://test.maemo.org/platform/docs/howtos/howto_porting_an_existing_application.html Sep 25 08:36:16 ok Sep 25 08:54:38 Hi lardman !!!! Sep 25 08:59:08 hi Big_B Sep 25 09:04:41 Lardman : you helped me a lot , thanks a lot for that. Now i m going to build deb package for N700 . Sep 25 09:04:55 Big_B: Really, what did I do? Sep 25 09:05:11 * lardman is getting forgetful in his old age :) Sep 25 09:05:21 ohhhhhhhhhh. Sep 25 09:05:53 you helped me to integrate libjpeg eith my project Sep 25 09:05:58 with Sep 25 09:05:59 ah, okay Sep 25 09:06:20 glad to help Sep 25 09:06:40 ya Sep 25 09:07:20 Pupnik is now helping me. Sep 25 09:36:09 i am? :) Sep 25 09:37:16 is there any decent calendar (with or without todo) software for a n800, that will sync up (preferably in both directions) with something online? tbh, I've been trying to find the same for Windows for weeks with no real success either :( Sep 25 09:41:52 gpe? flip^ ? Sep 25 09:45:19 pupnik: I'm told that can pull down an iCal file - though I've not explored enough to find out - but I don't think it can publish changes back again Sep 25 10:29:37 dunno - there is definitely room for coordination on better pim/calendar Sep 25 10:29:46 maybe you can join a subgroup of people who want to make this better Sep 25 10:33:16 If I could get my head round developing for maemo, I might put something together. Shame I hate ical though Sep 25 10:33:20 I wish I could do java on maemo :( Sep 25 10:34:01 it's probably not a one-person job Sep 25 10:34:12 well even you know - testing and stuff helps Sep 25 10:34:17 well, yeah Sep 25 10:34:55 before I scheme anything like this on maemo, I need to get myself set up to develop... in theory I downloaded the VMWare appliance that's ready to go last night tho Sep 25 10:35:00 waiting for me when i get home from work today Sep 25 10:35:52 :) Sep 25 10:36:15 i started with the 'low hanging fruit' and then just kept finding more and more of it Sep 25 10:36:50 It's ages since I touched C/C++ stuff though... I'm dreading it a little Sep 25 10:37:10 yeah same here - was about 10 years Sep 25 10:37:47 erm no come to think of it, 18 Sep 25 10:37:50 To think the fact it's about 5 years since I shifted to Java makes me feel old :( Sep 25 10:37:59 18 years ago I might have been playing with "My First Computer" ;) Sep 25 10:40:23 hmm... time Sep 25 10:40:28 yep, it's still moving on Sep 25 10:42:10 so, given i've not even had a chance to touch it yet, would developing for maemo be best described as "a breeze" or "a painful experience", or some other amusing parallel Sep 25 10:42:41 i'll let you know when i develop something Sep 25 10:43:10 i'm just slowly getting my feet wet in sdl Sep 25 10:43:47 but if you want to play with adapting gtk programs to hildon... Sep 25 10:43:57 http://pupnik.de/mtpaint.html Sep 25 10:44:05 http://pupnik.de/touchmegames.html Sep 25 10:44:14 those would be fairly straightforward afaict Sep 25 10:44:40 i did the first hildonization steps for touchmegames with just a couple hours of howto reading Sep 25 10:50:40 yeah, i expect I'll start by trying to port some easy stuff... starting with recompiling command line things, and working up through gtk things Sep 25 11:33:44 flip^: see also http://mud-builder.garage.maemo.org/ Sep 25 11:35:49 ooh, had my hopes up that would be a throwback to my mudding days, but it's just as cool in its own geeky way Sep 25 11:38:35 flip^: heh, nothing wrong with mudding though (: Sep 25 11:39:29 i know, it just seems to have been a dying trend... my mud used to have dozens of players on, but now only one or two look in on it each week :( Sep 25 11:40:30 flip^: oh I thought you meant field hopping (: Sep 25 11:40:38 * flip^ grins Sep 25 11:40:46 flip^: now I see the links (: Sep 25 11:41:01 i was definitely being geeky. something about the atmosphere brings it out of me Sep 25 11:41:07 probably cos i'm stuck at work and quite bored Sep 25 11:50:13 muds ruined one semester of my college Sep 25 11:50:39 :) Sep 25 11:51:04 yeah, i know that feeling Sep 25 11:52:12 hi, after running kismet (and quitting it), I can no longer connect using the connection manager unless I reboot -- it doesn't even search for wireless networks; is there something I can do to fix this? Sep 25 11:57:58 Yay for sshfs! Sep 25 11:58:27 I wonder if this will work in scratchbox .. Sep 25 12:04:31 is there fuse already for maemo? Sep 25 12:05:03 Don't know. Sep 25 12:05:22 I might port it over and package it if there isn't. Sep 25 12:08:33 that would be nice. and then some nice python gui for managing sshfs shares.. Sep 25 12:13:10 Ruby GIU Sep 25 12:13:12 ~GUI Sep 25 12:13:13 i guess gui is (Graphical User Interface) Any system that uses graphics to represent the functions of a program. All Windows operating systems are GUI. or point-and-drool, double-click, drag-and-drop, ... or at http://pla-netx.com/linebackn/guis/index.html. Of course Real Programmers use the command line interface. See cli Sep 25 12:13:28 I was planning on writting a "Connect to" like app Sep 25 12:13:41 Like that in the "Places" menu under Gnome Sep 25 12:14:07 alterego: yep, that would be really nice Sep 25 12:14:43 and some tool that you could use to remount sshfs shares if you get disconnected Sep 25 12:15:02 Yah Sep 25 12:15:26 You see .. I was going to use GnomeVFS, but the Ruby bindings for it don't have any documentation at all. Sep 25 12:15:45 maybe even remount tham automatically when network connection is available. there's dbus message for it Sep 25 12:15:58 I guess making a dedicated tool would be fine. Sep 25 12:16:14 cosmo, all good ideas :) Sep 25 12:16:16 * alterego makes some notes. Sep 25 12:17:23 and something to remember passwords like gnome-vfs can do but sshfs doesn't (unless you do keyless authentication by hand) Sep 25 12:17:49 Yah Sep 25 12:17:56 Well, remembering passwords is easy. Sep 25 12:18:12 I'm suprised Maemo doesn't have a universal credential system. Maybe that's something it needs :) Sep 25 12:18:33 btw gnome-vfs sftp support is very buggy compared to sshfs, and only gnome-vfs apps can use it Sep 25 12:18:42 Yeah Sep 25 12:21:27 I generally don't think GnomeVFS is very highly regarded at the moment. Sep 25 12:22:52 idea & integration is very good, but at least the sshfs implementation which i would use sucks Sep 25 12:23:17 and with fuse you can use any application to access mounted shares Sep 25 12:23:19 Well, I've used it a little. I wont now I've got fuse working. Sep 25 12:24:13 fuse's weakness is lack of good gui and desktop integration Sep 25 12:24:28 I've got other ideas though for this app. I was thinking, when I first had the idea. Of being able to connect to two different servers, and copy files between them. But directly between them. Sep 25 12:24:38 like ftp? Sep 25 12:25:56 sp3000, ? Sep 25 12:25:56 <_Monkey> hmmm... sp3000, is this a mockup as well? Sep 25 12:26:01 i don't think sftp supports that.. but you can always do some kind of hack Sep 25 12:26:21 No SFTP doesn't support it. Sep 25 12:26:33 alterego: ftp supports server to server transfers Sep 25 12:26:44 Didn't know that. Sep 25 12:26:47 :) Sep 25 12:27:19 fxftp'ing commonly known.. was used quite commonly to transfer files between public ftp's for the purpose of moving warez Sep 25 12:28:00 Interesting .. Sep 25 12:29:21 but anyway simple sshfs mounting would be excellent for maemo.. you could store files on home server and access them via 'net Sep 25 12:29:38 watch videos over wlan etc Sep 25 12:32:04 Yeah Sep 25 12:32:16 Well, I'm working on it now. Sep 25 12:32:26 It'll give me a chance to test my hildon bindings. Sep 25 12:32:39 The new and improved hildon bindings .. Sep 25 12:40:19 hello Sep 25 12:40:39 Hello pupnik Sep 25 12:46:36 moo Sep 25 12:46:42 baaaah Sep 25 12:47:41 kulve: You about? Sep 25 12:49:48 lardman: yup Sep 25 12:50:12 kulve: you were trying pointer arithmetic weren't you? Sep 25 12:50:19 yup Sep 25 12:50:40 is the dsp memory addressed in 16bit chunks then? Sep 25 12:51:05 I'd assume it would be, as nothing smaller can be used Sep 25 12:57:30 yeah, I think it is Sep 25 12:57:54 (i.e. I would guess so) Sep 25 12:57:57 I suppose it doesn't matter as if I have a char/int pointer, it will be incremented by sizeof(char) anyway Sep 25 12:58:56 sizeof(char) == 1 Sep 25 12:59:09 yes, and ==16bits Sep 25 12:59:22 yeah Sep 25 13:00:53 I finally worked out that dsp_dld sends syslog messages Sep 25 13:01:27 makes debugging a new dsptask a lot easier than my previous "look at the code even harder for the mistake" method :) Sep 25 13:02:33 It's interesting that the tremor lowmem nobyte code still uses char pointers for things, seems to be that sort of assumes byte sizes Sep 25 13:04:16 you mean debug messages from dsp tasks? Sep 25 13:04:38 or some debug messages produced by dsp_dld? Sep 25 13:04:41 no, from the loader itself - when you try to open a task on the ARM side and get -1 as the answer, it tells you why Sep 25 13:04:48 ah, ok Sep 25 13:05:05 I got my tasks usually loaded up ok, they just might not do anything ;) Sep 25 13:05:12 :) Sep 25 13:05:29 I was pulling my hair out getting odd messages in dmesg Sep 25 13:05:35 and -1 from open() Sep 25 13:06:51 I'll add that tip to the wiki page Sep 25 13:09:39 I've decided to strip the asm out of the vorbis task (it's for the C54 and I keep seeing worrying warnings, plus it's caused some symbol errors) Sep 25 13:10:18 but now I need to fix the Tremor CRC routines that were previously asm, so they can handle 16bit chunks at a time Sep 25 13:10:56 * lardman thinks that should be fun.... Sep 25 13:13:51 hmm, no derf, any other vorbis experts about? Sep 25 13:15:06 c55 should read c54 asm, if it's told that it's c54 asm. Iirc. Sep 25 13:15:40 yes, but there are supposed to be things one needs to setup Sep 25 13:15:55 and I wasn't too clear on how that would affect me Sep 25 13:16:24 plus the assembler spits out an awful lot of "check this c55 errata as it might not behave as designed" messages Sep 25 13:17:53 I'm tempted to leave the crc stuff as asm though, and see if it will work Sep 25 13:23:06 annoyingly oggpack_look is one that probably needs to be fiddled with to allow for 16bit char pointers, and is also the asm that was causing an error Sep 25 13:23:21 this instruction for example: FCALLD #L$$SRU Sep 25 13:24:00 produces an undefined variable (or something like that) error for L$$SRU, which is defined as .global L$$SRU Sep 25 13:24:51 curiously this var is not set as far as I can tell Sep 25 13:33:01 http://pastebin.com/d69cceb7b anyone care to take a look and see what effect larger-than-8bit-chars would have on this code? Sep 25 14:14:35 Trying to log in to half/ebay seems to cause some WiFi connections to drop and Opera never completes the login in that situation. Is there a known problem? Sep 25 15:19:31 hello. Is there some place where I could easily check what the gtk stock images in 770 look like? Sep 25 15:21:17 <||cw> other than in the theme packages? Sep 25 15:21:53 Uh oh .. Sep 25 15:21:57 I'm using libglade, but the icons in glade3 look different than in the application Sep 25 15:23:30 it depends on the current theme package? Sep 25 15:23:45 If they're default icons .. Yes. Sep 25 15:23:51 argh Sep 25 15:24:23 O_o Sep 25 15:24:30 If you don't like it, use your own icons :) Sep 25 15:24:55 so, it's not a good idea to use gtk-cancel even if the picture fits my context, since the icon might change to something completely different in a different theme Sep 25 15:26:56 is there anywhere out there that has other themes available for an n800? I have the 4 stock themes, and that's about all i can find for it Sep 25 15:42:31 scratchbox doesn't like being installed into a seperate partition .. Sep 25 15:42:56 Well, more like .. It doesn't like being _uninstalled_ from a seperate partition ^_^ Sep 25 15:43:58 eh? Sep 25 15:44:19 It complains that it can't remove the /scratchbox directory because it's mounted. Sep 25 15:44:19 I suspect scratchbox's bind mounts might interfere with naive uninstalling Sep 25 15:44:25 yep, bind mounts Sep 25 15:54:11 it does Sep 25 15:54:18 don't delete /scratchbox blindly Sep 25 15:55:08 as far as i remember you have to launch "/scrachtbox/sbin/sbox_ctl stop" first Sep 25 15:55:31 flip^: i don't think there are much themes out there Sep 25 15:55:54 me either, except some valentines thing Sep 25 16:40:00 does anybody use the maemo live cd? is it stable? Sep 25 16:40:23 or installing the scratchbox in debian/gentoo/slackware would be preferrable? Sep 25 16:41:19 <`0660> at least installing to debian is possible :) Sep 25 16:41:43 <`0660> it always breaks with /etc/resolv.conf but that one is easy to fix :) Sep 25 16:42:10 ok :) Sep 25 16:42:54 <`0660> at least it shouldn't break anything Sep 25 16:43:16 Cool .. I can now ssh into my tablet as 'user' :) Sep 25 17:44:16 Connect to a Samba share from your n770. Is it possible? Sep 25 17:45:01 Troseph, with fuse. YES! Sep 25 17:45:06 :) Sep 25 17:45:11 I'll upload the packages shortly :) Sep 25 17:45:20 Sweet. Now how do I do it. :) Sep 25 17:45:28 Wait for my packages :) Sep 25 17:45:32 Sounds good Sep 25 17:45:45 i less than three you alterego Sep 25 17:46:16 Sorry? Sep 25 17:46:25 lol <3 Sep 25 17:46:37 Oh., haha Sep 25 17:46:41 * alterego blushes Sep 25 17:52:19 Oh, you want it on the n770 Sep 25 17:52:29 I'm gonna have to work on that. Sep 25 17:52:54 But don't worry, it should be ready in a few hours at the most :) Sep 25 17:54:02 <[31d1]> why do i already have fuse on my 770? Sep 25 17:54:32 <[31d1]> or is your package for smb via fuse Sep 25 17:55:09 Yeah, someone has already ported fuse. Sep 25 17:55:31 ok Sep 25 17:55:48 I'll wait for your package. Sep 25 17:55:49 But it's for scirocco Sep 25 17:55:59 ? Sep 25 17:56:07 No idea when it was last updated/. Sep 25 17:56:13 I am running OS2007 Sep 25 17:57:19 Well, you could try his packages. Sep 25 18:00:42 whee, got bluetooth keyboard working with 770 Sep 25 18:00:50 now where i can download openoffice Sep 25 18:00:57 Hahah Sep 25 18:01:17 <||cw> OOo is too fat for it Sep 25 18:01:26 abiword? Sep 25 18:01:27 <||cw> aniwrod and gnumeric work well though Sep 25 18:01:30 Wasn't there a port of Abiword and Gnumeric? Sep 25 18:01:34 <||cw> yes Sep 25 18:01:42 Nice Sep 25 18:02:03 I didn't find them last time I went looking# Sep 25 18:02:20 <||cw> they aren't in the downloads on maemo.org? Sep 25 18:02:38 In the garage? Sep 25 18:02:49 indt has abiword Sep 25 18:02:50 I couldn't find it in the Garage when I looked last. Sep 25 18:03:31 <||cw> gnumeric is in the d/l Sep 25 18:04:00 Yeah, I think it was Abiword I couldn't find. For the N800 Sep 25 18:04:11 hm, indt version is for n800 Sep 25 18:04:30 <||cw> abi isn't in the downloads at all Sep 25 18:04:42 Is anybody at Nokia working on creating a tool that will save the installed apps and settings that can be restored after OS updates? Sep 25 18:04:49 Any news on that front? Sep 25 18:05:34 dorto, not likely. Sep 25 18:05:47 :( Sep 25 18:05:49 App data you can backup./ Sep 25 18:05:58 But applications you'll just have to remember. Sep 25 18:06:27 <||cw> you usualy need to install new versions anyway, and not all are available Sep 25 18:06:34 ok, I will get into the habit of noting down the names and the repository links of the applications before doing an OS update. Sep 25 18:06:45 yeah, right. Sep 25 18:06:53 <||cw> is this for 770 or 800? http://www.nl.abisource.com/downloads/abiword/2.3.4/Linux/Maemo/ Sep 25 18:07:26 cosmo: you can run openoffice on a 770 if you forward it from another box ;) Sep 25 18:08:06 flip^: oh ok ;) Sep 25 18:09:37 Ok... with synergy running on my n800, anyone know how can i stop my Return key from bringing up the thumb keyboard (note, i still want the button to bring it up when i'm not using synergy and a proper keyboard) Sep 25 18:12:15 damn.. the abisource abiword does not want to install Sep 25 18:14:38 * flip^ has not tried it on a 770 Sep 25 18:14:55 xand is my 770 guinea pig, but he doesn't know that yet Sep 25 18:15:12 * xand peers Sep 25 18:15:32 ^^ Sep 25 18:15:58 is there a way to make the number keypad on the onscreen keyboard the right way round? with 0 at the bottom... Sep 25 18:16:11 silly nokia getting all confused there :) Sep 25 18:17:14 btw i can recommend logitech dinovo edge keyboard, works also 100% on ubuntu Sep 25 18:17:29 even the volume thing Sep 25 18:18:24 my apple keyboard works fine Sep 25 18:18:35 with some work Sep 25 18:18:36 gah, every time i press return on my (normal) keyboard, even with the thumb keyboard turned off, it brings up the onscreen keyboard rather than doing a character return Sep 25 18:18:47 this makes synergy much less useful Sep 25 18:34:55 hmm, synergy on a N800?! Sep 25 18:36:13 yeah Sep 25 18:36:36 I've now hacked windows to turn Return into Enter, and it works much nicer Sep 25 18:38:44 yep, thats the quick fix i guess. i had the same experience when testing vnc-ing onto my 770 Sep 25 18:39:58 ugh, why is it that some people seems to think that linux will allways be in a "catching up" state vs windows? Sep 25 18:40:52 Some people aren't aware of Microsoft promising to add features which were in Unix. 20 years ago. Well, MS did finally add subdirectories. Sep 25 18:41:48 it seems mostly to have to do with apps, and support for proprietary solutions like ebooks... Sep 25 18:42:54 heh, synergy make me think of the VR5 tv series Sep 25 18:43:47 That's more like the accountants and startup programmers only being aware of MS tools. Sep 25 18:44:05 I wonder how the OLPC dispersion will affect that. Sep 25 18:44:33 good evening Sep 25 18:49:03 SE-Wilco2: i guess it has some execs scared silly Sep 25 18:50:53 The two-week 1-for-2 OLPC activity will be interesting. I'm sure they'll report the number of sales quickly. Sep 25 18:55:39 strange that synergy do not have a keypress remapping system buildt in Sep 25 19:13:26 t_s_o, it would be interesting to know what set of standar key mapping synergy should implement :) Sep 25 19:26:57 interesting news at maemo news. Sep 25 19:27:38 Ooo. New tablet? Sep 25 19:28:59 url konttori please ? Sep 25 19:29:12 Meh, that could be anything. Sep 25 19:29:26 it has integrated GPS tho :) Sep 25 19:29:35 http://maemo.org/news/planet-maemo/ Sep 25 19:29:46 Now that is worth upgrading for .. Sep 25 19:30:00 linux, but not necessarily maemo Sep 25 19:30:14 I'd imagine it's most definitely Mameo. Sep 25 19:30:16 ~Maemo Sep 25 19:30:17 maemo is probably a development platform to create applications for Nokia 770 Internet Tablet and other maemo compliant handheld devices in the future. http://www.maemo.org/ Sep 25 19:30:24 what is a CNC-ID? Sep 25 19:30:32 I think that's GSM Sep 25 19:30:38 or HSCDC or whatever .. Sep 25 19:30:44 thx Sep 25 19:30:51 when was monkey renamed as infobot? Sep 25 19:30:54 It's Midinux, rather than Maemo Sep 25 19:31:08 Hmm, interesting. Sep 25 19:31:14 still Hildon tho Sep 25 19:31:14 Probably not an Internet Tablet then .. Sep 25 19:31:21 Oh, really? Sep 25 19:31:41 www.elektrobit.com/index.php?599 Sep 25 19:32:07 hmm, could it be the wimax equiped spint aimed variant? Sep 25 19:32:27 s/monkey/infobot/ Sep 25 19:33:51 what is that elektrobit device? Sep 25 19:34:02 Does someone have a barcode reader to decode what's in the corner of that label? Sep 25 19:34:05 its the one linked from maemo.org/news Sep 25 19:34:15 which label? Sep 25 19:34:34 The RX-44 label. http://tabletblog.com/2007/09/third-nokia-internet-tablet-hits-fcc.html Sep 25 19:35:20 i don't´think its clear enough Sep 25 19:36:47 nah, can't get anything out of it Sep 25 19:36:57 so, is the tabletblog referring to that EB device? Sep 25 19:37:02 looks really interesting Sep 25 19:37:18 i dunno... i was looking at maemo.org/news... didn't tablet blog til just then Sep 25 19:39:08 that EB device is a oem style device that can be sold under different brands. kinda like how asus makes laptop shells that can be used to create laptops of different brands Sep 25 19:40:15 it's ugly... Sep 25 19:40:21 And has Intel chip and linux os. Sep 25 19:40:28 The FCC filing might have a more detailed PDF of the barcode. Sep 25 19:40:47 i think i know what's the new nokia device, but sorry nda Sep 25 19:51:35 EB device looks expensive but nice Sep 25 19:51:46 if they get a decent user interface for it Sep 25 20:01:29 moblin? Sep 25 20:02:01 as in, the interface seen on a benq mid recently Sep 25 20:06:22 I hope a lot of the people here are working on cool stuff for the next Tablet that they aren't allowed to talk about :) Sep 25 20:07:02 if only to provide some cosmic balance to those of us who talk a lot and don't do much :P Sep 25 20:07:24 heh Sep 25 20:07:31 well there is the games ;) Sep 25 20:08:01 btw, a certain webpage seems to crash mozilla on my 770 whenever i attempt to access it... Sep 25 20:08:52 hi Sep 25 20:11:40 which one? Sep 25 20:12:36 yours i belive Sep 25 20:14:52 crap crap crap. turned it on, tried to connect it to the wifi. it goes into a reboot, and now it does not transision into the load animation! Sep 25 20:15:31 is this for nokia 770 / n800? Sep 25 20:15:45 ah - see the topic - sorry Sep 25 20:16:11 does anyone have a 770 with the hacked OS 7 version? Sep 25 20:16:14 and i had it reflashed not two weeks ago! Sep 25 20:16:52 is it bad? Sep 25 20:17:10 hmm, unplugging the battery helped ;) Sep 25 20:17:27 KungPhoo: my ranting is fully unrelated to os2007 ;) Sep 25 20:17:36 lol. K Sep 25 20:19:10 t_s_o: that's bad. A coupla days ago i changed software.html and links.html to have fixed backgrounds. That may cause problems? Doesn't here (firefox 2.0.0.6 and opera on the tablet) Sep 25 20:19:49 dont know what it is but neither turning of javascript or images helps Sep 25 20:20:21 btw, whats this webcore entry on the "hidden" menus? Sep 25 20:21:08 well a page like http://pupnik.de/pingus.html should work as they always did. So would index.html. But if software.html causes crashes, i'll undo the fixed background hack. Sep 25 20:21:27 If you could confirm that, it would be appreciated. Sep 25 20:22:04 i aim my bookmark at index.html. or in other words, i dont specify a file Sep 25 20:22:54 ugh, thats one confused line Sep 25 20:23:27 the bookmark i had was to http://pupnik.de/ so it would be index.html that makes mozilla crash. opera worked fine Sep 25 20:23:46 what version of mozilla? Sep 25 20:24:12 the pingus page worked Sep 25 20:24:43 microb 1.0.1 Sep 25 20:25:17 Works fine on my N800 Sep 25 20:25:22 With Opera and MicroB Sep 25 20:25:56 interesting, when i entered about:about, i got a error page. but when i enter a url that cant be reached i get a (looped) error message about a missing chrome file... Sep 25 20:26:16 Interesting .. Sep 25 20:27:18 maybe it's the recursive link i had on there Sep 25 20:27:21 removed it. Sep 25 20:27:33 Heh Sep 25 20:27:54 maybe microb does some strange prefetching - i duno Sep 25 20:28:49 dont think prefetching is activeated Sep 25 20:30:09 Where do I get libsdl-net? Sep 25 20:30:09 <_Monkey> rumour has it libsdl-net is http://pupnik.de/libsdl-net1.2_1.2.5-7_armel.deb (IT2006, but works on 2007) Sep 25 20:30:36 Nice Sep 25 20:32:00 pupnik, libsdl-net on your deps page is broken :/ Sep 25 20:32:10 Erm, the link is broken. Sep 25 20:32:16 ok ty Sep 25 20:32:21 well this was unexpected. when i entered http://pupnik.de/index.html the page showed up fine. but going to http://pupnik.de/ made mozilla crash Sep 25 20:33:22 pupnik, and so is _monkey ;) Sep 25 20:33:36 Could you point me to libsdlnet ? Sep 25 20:34:23 hrm i understand teh problem with the deps.html Sep 25 20:34:33 hmm, im getting very incosisted behavior here. when i opened up the bookmark manager and used that to open the page, it worked fine. but browser crashed when trying to do anything Sep 25 20:35:05 pupnik, the files are not there? :) Sep 25 20:37:17 http://pupnik.de/deps/deps.html Sep 25 20:37:41 Hah Sep 25 20:39:26 the site works great with links, t_s_o :) Sep 25 20:39:53 You don't have a app launcher item :( Sep 25 20:40:06 heh, noted. sadly it cant be integrated into the browser ui, not can minimo Sep 25 20:40:08 you mean .install files? Sep 25 20:40:21 It's not showing up in the application menu Sep 25 20:40:27 How do I run twm? Sep 25 20:40:48 i just install the debs with dpkg -i Sep 25 20:40:55 Yeah, done that. Sep 25 20:41:15 for application menus, i hope to get that done by like . christmas Sep 25 20:41:21 Heh Sep 25 20:41:25 How do I start the game? Sep 25 20:41:44 xterm - or use load-applet-run to run the command Sep 25 20:41:45 ugh, i wish that opera would highlight what link you click on, even if its a image or similar. besides that i dont really need mozilla for much (well, there is the javascript support) Sep 25 20:41:58 Erm. I mean. What's the command?! Sep 25 20:42:07 for what game alterego ? Sep 25 20:42:14 tmw Sep 25 20:42:33 tmw Sep 25 20:42:40 O_O Sep 25 20:42:44 It doesn't work .. Sep 25 20:42:54 ok lemme see if i scerweedded that up Sep 25 20:43:19 ~ $ which tmw Sep 25 20:43:19 /usr/bin/tmw Sep 25 20:43:27 I get nothing .. Sep 25 20:43:51 if you have an older build, it might be in /usr/games/tmw Sep 25 20:44:06 Nope. Sep 25 20:44:30 Oh wait, yes it is. Sep 25 20:44:40 yeah i gotta move that to /usr/bin Sep 25 20:44:46 you can do that yourself, as root Sep 25 20:44:56 Not full screen either :/ Sep 25 20:45:13 hey all, can anybody point me to docs about power management in the Nokia 770? Sep 25 20:45:37 And no way to enter user/pass ^_^ Sep 25 20:45:54 use xkbd Sep 25 20:46:54 Anychance of a fullscreen version? :) Sep 25 20:47:22 it's a config thing Sep 25 20:47:30 Ah Sep 25 20:47:36 but i didn't get xkbd working on fullscreen Sep 25 20:47:45 Right Sep 25 20:51:54 i will look to see if i can get fullscreen toggle going easily/quickly Sep 25 20:52:19 then you can start in window, use xkbd to login, then play in fullscreen Sep 25 20:52:41 Right Sep 25 20:52:53 Can you use the config so you don't have to enter the details? Sep 25 20:53:06 oh yeahh Sep 25 20:53:15 and you can give username/pass from commandline too i think Sep 25 20:53:18 silly Sep 25 20:53:20 Heh Sep 25 20:53:24 I've not registered though :/ Sep 25 21:21:04 uhm... how would the n800 compare to the GP2X, maybe? Sep 25 21:22:18 there are enough games, but it is not a gaming device Sep 25 21:31:52 Yeah, it's not really got input's for the kind of games you'd normally play on the GP2X Sep 25 21:32:42 enough power, though? Sep 25 21:34:32 and how compares the 770 to the n800 in case of speed? Sep 25 21:36:14 The N800 seems significantly quicker in my opinion. Sep 25 21:45:11 how wide is the display in cm? Sep 25 21:46:05 very. Sep 25 21:46:09 lol Sep 25 21:47:04 KungPhoo, it's the same display Sep 25 21:47:11 about that fcc report earlier. did anyone try to get the barcode of the pdf? Sep 25 21:47:14 I don't have no device, yet Sep 25 21:48:25 4.5 cm? Sep 25 21:48:37 oh no that's inches Sep 25 21:48:41 that's the 4way dpad? Sep 25 21:48:44 ah Sep 25 21:49:00 i swear i've gotten diagnoals with the pad Sep 25 21:49:15 maybe it was a software trick Sep 25 21:50:27 if you're going to spend more than 30% of your time on the device wishing you could play platform/action games, then i wouldn't advise it Sep 25 21:50:38 but it's definitely a more useful device than a gp2x of course Sep 25 21:50:49 it's about 9x5.5cm Sep 25 21:50:54 no, just an idea. I am the developer from www.glbasic.com Sep 25 21:51:16 oh nice :) Sep 25 21:51:33 maybe we'll get gl for the tablets someday Sep 25 21:51:43 i basically want a high resolution bible reader. The n800 seems perfect, but the software is not, yet Sep 25 21:52:16 I support PocketPC and GP2X - n800 shouldn't be much of a problem Sep 25 21:52:43 ah nice Sep 25 21:53:37 hard decission Sep 25 21:54:06 I could get a Bsquare maui phone with 640x480 for the price of an 770 Sep 25 21:55:16 There is a something labeled a bible reader in Applications list but I haven't tried it. The web browser probably works for local text files, so there are several ways to look at text. Sep 25 21:55:58 I've seen it. It's very minimalistic so far Sep 25 21:56:14 on pocketpc I'd get a full featured program Sep 25 21:56:27 otoh, the display is muuuch smaller and only 640x480 Sep 25 21:57:48 damn, some people have 24 years of development experience and still cannot read ;) Sep 25 21:58:07 sure Sep 25 22:06:04 What can't I read? Or should I write something so I can read? Sep 25 22:07:31 read this: äöüöäö"§$%"§%*' Sep 25 22:07:43 Gesundheit Sep 25 22:08:09 I read it and it started to rain. Sep 25 22:08:25 * SE-Wilco2 admires KP's typing skill. Sep 25 22:09:55 * SE-Wilco2 installs netcat, connects a named pipe to an IP, feeds input from pipe to flite, starts Opera, cuts and pastes KP's text, and the N800 reads it. Sep 25 22:10:35 that was my head banging on the KB. I'd better get some sleep ;) Sep 25 22:10:36 you forgot to pipe it through 'jive' Sep 25 22:10:53 What it is! Sep 25 22:11:14 KP's KB not OK. Sep 25 22:11:41 KP's KB not OK and not in OK. Sep 25 22:12:18 Ooooooooooooklahoma! Where the wind comes blowing across the KB. Sep 25 22:51:40 Apparently, the Nokias are not powerful enough for OpenOffice ... so i guess this might not be the place to ask for handwriting capabilities in OO. Sep 25 22:52:04 what do you mean by handwriting capabilities in OO ? Sep 25 22:52:24 Does anybody have a gauge on optimizations that can be done in OpenOffice compilations to make smaller and faster for Nokia. Sep 25 22:53:10 When you want to handwrite into OpenOffice, you can do it? Handwriting recognition into text. Sep 25 22:53:26 why can't you ? Sep 25 22:53:41 i guess the input method is available to open office, although i did not try it on the tablet Sep 25 22:53:51 what about a graffiti1 type input method for maemo? Sep 25 22:54:11 oo.org is so bloated now, I doubt you could make it fit on the nokia Sep 25 22:54:23 http://mg.pov.lt/maemo-irclog/%23maemo.2007-09-25.log.html#t2007-09-25T21:07:26 seems to indicate OpenOffice is too big. Discussion recommends AbiWord. Sep 25 22:54:54 i don't have a Nokia at the moment so i don't know what is capable / not capable. Sep 25 22:55:22 ds2: what about natural handwriting recognition instead ? :) Sep 25 22:55:45 guardian: is there one that works well even on a desktop class CPU? Sep 25 22:56:02 sure Sep 25 22:56:12 name/link? Sep 25 22:56:18 i have noticed EmperorLinux touts handwriting recognition, i wonder if OneLaptopPerChild does too. Sep 25 22:56:33 i'm coding it :) Sep 25 22:57:09 Guardian, do you have a website for your project? Sep 25 22:57:27 no Sep 25 22:59:04 nite, ++ Sep 26 00:41:10 why is it that the internal mail reader in os2006 turns & into "? Sep 26 01:47:49 Gh Sep 26 01:59:44 i've mastered very easy sudoku... Sep 26 01:59:47 time for easy Sep 26 02:01:50 guess its an accomplishment for me to be proud of only. Sep 26 02:02:02 no congratulations. Sep 26 02:02:51 3+1+1 = 5 with dupes. That's no Sudoku. Sep 26 02:03:59 whats sudoku then? Sep 26 02:04:29 I was making a joke about the numbers needed for a Sudoku. Sep 26 02:05:01 ok. Sep 26 02:06:22 i was one to watch people on the trains going to work playing sudoku, and was like wtf is so interesting about the game. Sep 26 02:06:30 i got bit by the bug. Sep 26 02:06:50 at least i gave up solitaire. Sep 26 02:07:59 question, wimax...a new N800 will hit the shelves because of wimax. Sep 26 02:09:14 now for the older n800 will they some sort of piece that users can buy for this wimax Sep 26 02:11:03 Hmm. I got a larger SD card, and I want to eject my "external" SD card. I have no swap on it and I umounted it. I seem to have to "eject" command in busybox. Is there anything I should do before pulling the card? Sep 26 02:11:42 when you open the rubber piece Sep 26 02:11:52 it umounts the card Sep 26 02:11:59 sensors Sep 26 02:12:07 same thing happens with the back cover Sep 26 02:12:25 Oh. That would make a GPS SD device awkward to try. Sep 26 02:12:49 not sure if it umounts...but you can no longer access the card. Sep 26 02:12:56 Fingernails, don't fail me now. Sep 26 02:12:56 yes Sep 26 02:13:56 i guess you can look for the sensor, and try to push it down.. Sep 26 02:16:20 if you can close the cover after you insert your gps SD. should word.. Sep 26 02:17:22 so you think nokia is going to look out for the older N800 users, and hopefully have it where the older N800 can do wimax? Sep 26 02:18:36 Card mounted OK. Hmm. Doesn't want to put swap on it, and doesn't know about internal card. Must be confused by root-mounted internal. I'll try manually configuring swap on the internal card. Sep 26 02:19:39 unique311: I don't see why they would, nor would I expect it. Software's one thing, major hardware changes to a platform that's basically not expandable is something else. Sep 26 02:22:58 People are already amazed at the N800 WiFi range. I'm sure the components are too integrated in the device for upgrading. Any phones with wimax which can do WiFi to an N800? Sep 26 02:23:18 the usb port....sony psp has lots of peripherals for that type of usb female port. Mean to tell me thats a major hardware change to make a device that you can plug into the usb port. but then again, video chat was one of the reasons i brought the N800 and they are having issues with that. Sep 26 02:24:15 http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2006/09/psp_camera.jpg psp camera Sep 26 02:24:51 http://www.hizone.info/data/2004/05/13/images/sony-psp-keyboard.jpg psp keyboard Sep 26 02:25:54 http://www.ubergizmo.com/photos/2006/8/psp-gps.jpg psp gps reciever Sep 26 02:26:28 thats actually cool, wonder if that can work with the n800 ^^ Sep 26 02:26:52 Does the N800 USB port need external power? Sep 26 02:27:41 Did Nokia ever say the N800's usb was for using it as a host? Sep 26 02:28:24 Not sure, did they? Sep 26 02:28:53 afaik, no. Not that it doesn't suck. :-) Sep 26 02:29:08 most likely didn't say it about the 770 neither.. Sep 26 02:29:16 Nice idea, that PSP screw next to the USB port to hold stuff in place. Let's see... if I remove the stand connector there's a solid hole there for a mod... Sep 26 02:29:42 it won't make the distance. Sep 26 02:29:50 and dolske is right.. Sep 26 02:29:57 about the host thing. Sep 26 02:30:29 Oh, simpler. I drill a hole in the stand connector for a screw mount, and machine the stand to make a hole for access to the USB port. Sep 26 02:31:07 Does dolske's no mean "no it does not need external power" or "no it does need external power"? Sep 26 02:31:08 * dolske tosses a roll of duct tape at SEWilco Sep 26 02:31:33 no nokia did make the usb port for use as host. Sep 26 02:31:33 * SEWilco fends it off with his roll of aluminum tape Sep 26 02:31:52 yes it needs external power...with the hack thats out.. Sep 26 02:32:13 google usb host n800 should give hits Sep 26 02:32:50 Maybe I need a fatter back for more battery power then. That's fine, I could mount USB devices on a custom back panel anyway. Sep 26 02:32:53 well, the point I was making was that unless Nokia said/implied that the USB port was for host mode operation, it's hard to expect them to support future expansion through it. Sep 26 02:33:25 i know. Sep 26 02:33:33 that the hardware actually supports it (sort of) but is disabled is another issue. :) Sep 26 02:33:56 Simple way to mount USB stuff is velcro to the back, with a thin USB cable under the desk stand or through a slot cut in the stand. Sep 26 02:36:26 The PSP's USB GPS is cute, but I think I'll use a BT one. They're cheap enough, and one with logging will let me take GPS readings without using N800 battery (such as when walking and taking pictures with camera). Sep 26 02:38:07 forgot my ebay account Sep 26 02:40:13 What are "Level 1" sounds different from "Level 2"? Sep 26 02:40:21 s/What/How/ Sep 26 02:40:21 SEWilco meant: How are "Level 1" sounds different from "Level 2"? Sep 26 02:42:58 Google finds an odd assortment for "N800 "level 2" sounds" but nothing relevant. Sep 26 02:44:50 * SEWilco enables Level 2 sounds and hopes nothing sounds like a bear. **** ENDING LOGGING AT Wed Sep 26 02:59:56 2007
