**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri Aug 08 02:59:58 2008 Aug 08 03:01:47 Mace`: well, in os2007 xterm was via maemo-hackers, so it was very nice. the default os2008 xterm is not the same version, but if you install the maemo-hackers xterm in os2008, it has tabs again, as well as improving ctrl-function support (and other bits) Aug 08 03:03:46 Diablo xterm has tabs. Aug 08 03:04:19 Actually, the Diablo xterm is pretty much up to the maemo-hackers one as far as thingszgo. Aug 08 03:04:20 does it? eh Aug 08 03:04:43 oh, GAN, you seen latest download numbers? O_o Aug 08 03:04:51 it doubled a couple more times Aug 08 03:05:04 20k's? Aug 08 03:05:27 24k almost o_O Aug 08 03:05:46 Yeesj Aug 08 03:05:53 s/j/h/ Aug 08 03:05:53 GAN800 meant: Yeesh Aug 08 03:05:57 i almost had a heart attack, lol Aug 08 03:08:35 #2 Aug 08 03:08:37 Woo Aug 08 03:08:40 yeah Aug 08 03:08:49 if we release an update we would jump to #1 prolly, lol Aug 08 03:08:58 so, whenever we do the control panel thing Aug 08 03:09:37 I'm ready for that. Aug 08 03:09:49 yeah Aug 08 03:09:52 we need more mockups Aug 08 03:10:04 I get back to my rig end of this month Aug 08 03:10:06 need to decide what to remove from the default control panels Aug 08 03:10:09 I can power some out then. Aug 08 03:10:13 and what to move/add Aug 08 03:10:15 k Aug 08 03:15:09 rm_you, I think my mockup for the schedule is "good enough" if you want to start work on that. Aug 08 03:15:18 yeah Aug 08 03:15:24 Which begins with figuring out alarmd, I suppose. Aug 08 03:15:29 yeah Aug 08 03:16:20 I should probably go to bed Aug 08 03:16:24 Been on airplanes all day long Aug 08 03:37:05 * GeneralAntilles lights the fuse on the next "please search/u guyz r assholes" thread. Aug 08 04:26:38 * GeneralAntilles facepalms. http://www.tabletscene.com/forums/showthread.php?t=28 Aug 08 04:26:47 I'm gonna have to block that site at the firewall before I lose my mind. Aug 08 04:36:13 moo all Aug 08 04:36:51 GA: ITT was not enough? Aug 08 04:37:08 RST38h, I don't even want to talk about it. Aug 08 04:37:30 I'm so bored with that BS. Aug 08 04:37:51 krisse can have fun answering all the same questions a hundred million times. Aug 08 04:37:53 Fine by me. Aug 08 05:38:07 Heh, Ohio is dying out Aug 08 06:13:38 Hi ! Aug 08 06:14:12 Hi Khertan_n810 Aug 08 06:14:51 there is no cron on the tablet ? Aug 08 06:15:01 qwerty12, tell me reading tabletscene doesn't make you want to kill yourself. Aug 08 06:15:18 lol Aug 08 06:15:22 Khertan, where have you been for the last two years? :P Aug 08 06:15:34 alarmd Aug 08 06:15:37 you read tabletscene ? Aug 08 06:15:44 or grab a cron package from somewhere. Aug 08 06:15:47 GAN800, It does. Krisse pisses me off too. Just because he's scared of the command line, shouldn't mean it's a taboo subject. Aug 08 06:15:55 A little this evening Aug 08 06:15:59 gan > hum ... Aug 08 06:16:13 Made me throw up a little in my mouth Aug 08 06:16:42 Eh, krisse's alright. He's good at what he does and is pleasant to talk to. Aug 08 06:17:00 But he has some funny ideas about newbie stuff. Aug 08 06:17:10 I honestly like him, a good person, just the command line stuff gets to me. Aug 08 06:17:19 Yeah Aug 08 06:18:09 Although that siralien guy is totally deluded. Read his intro... Aug 08 06:18:23 who's krisse? Aug 08 06:18:46 qwerty12, I hit the 'MAC' (shudder) topic and about died. Aug 08 06:18:47 is this the one wich polst on tabletshol ? Aug 08 06:18:54 Couldn't get any farther. Aug 08 06:19:02 Yes, Khertan Aug 08 06:19:05 Hehe Aug 08 06:19:21 To be honest, there's nothing appealing about tabletscene imho Aug 08 06:19:24 About the best newb-friendly explainer I've ever encountered. Aug 08 06:19:26 i doesn t accept any comment on tabletschool Aug 08 06:19:34 He does Aug 08 06:19:44 He just moderates them Aug 08 06:19:50 hum ... Aug 08 06:19:54 and has a bit of a backlog Aug 08 06:20:14 Hit him up with a pm on itT if you need to contect him about an article. Aug 08 06:20:30 He's really fast and responsive about making ammendments and such Aug 08 06:20:56 i thinking of making an autosync for mcalendar ... does should i use alarmd or an init script to network ? Aug 08 06:21:02 I like tabletschool, I've been on there a few times, you can tell he really puts effort and time into the articles with the youtube video complementing them and such. Aug 08 06:21:42 Khertan_n810, I'd say alarmd, but be careful how you approach it. I know fiferboy has had problems with alarmd. Aug 08 06:22:02 Look at how Modest does it, maybe? Aug 08 06:22:30 gan > it s a joke ? Aug 08 06:22:44 wow.. i really hate gentoo now Aug 08 06:23:47 Hmm, alarmd isn't in the build depends for modest Aug 08 06:24:25 Khertan, no, seems like automated email checking is fairly similar Aug 08 06:25:06 hum maybe should i make a more osso approach Aug 08 06:25:15 by making a permanent daemon Aug 08 06:25:24 hehe Aug 08 06:25:31 :) Aug 08 06:26:32 I did a quick grep in modest for alarm: http://pastebin.com/m2d3da15b Aug 08 06:27:11 i m joking of course Aug 08 06:27:26 I know, but if you want to use alarmd... Aug 08 06:28:12 hey khertan :) Aug 08 06:29:02 hi moontiger Aug 08 06:29:12 seems like the python-hildondesktop bindings aren't being written any time soon Aug 08 06:29:28 so i was thinking about some work arounds for mcalendar Aug 08 06:29:30 :) Aug 08 06:30:09 ? hildondesktop ? Aug 08 06:30:23 python-hildondesktop bindings are already in diablo extras Aug 08 06:30:23 http://repository.maemo.org/extras/pool/diablo/free/p/python-hildondesktop/ Aug 08 06:30:30 what the problem with the binding ? Aug 08 06:30:38 he reason you can't do settings menu from python desktop applets is the bindings to the underlying c libs arent there yet Aug 08 06:30:51 hmmmmmmmmmm Aug 08 06:31:00 i was reading today that they arent usable yet Aug 08 06:31:21 Source is also available : http://repository.maemo.org/extras/pool/diablo/free/source/p/python-hildondesktop/ Aug 08 06:31:26 They should be Aug 08 06:31:37 * moontiger goes off to read more ... brb Aug 08 06:32:09 :) Aug 08 06:32:59 wow ok ... well that sorts that out then ... thats where the settings menu stuff is to be found i believe Aug 08 06:33:11 heh so i'll go find that stuff out then :) Aug 08 06:33:21 but anyways.......... Aug 08 06:34:03 i was thinking that since homecalendar is useless without mcalendar... Aug 08 06:34:11 yes setting binding seems not here Aug 08 06:34:20 why not put settings for homecalendar in mcalendar settings stuff? Aug 08 06:34:39 homecalender work well :) Aug 08 06:34:58 yes it does ... but it is totally dependent on mcalendar no? Aug 08 06:34:59 hum yes why not Aug 08 06:35:19 yes it depends on mcalendar Aug 08 06:35:24 please forgive me ... i was not saying homecalendar is useless ... i meant it totally depends on mcalendar Aug 08 06:35:53 i ve understand :) Aug 08 06:35:56 so putting homecalendar settings in mcalendar would make sense and solve the problem for now at least no? Aug 08 06:37:12 yes ... but i ll prefer having seperate ui for setting Aug 08 06:37:27 really? hmmmmm ok Aug 08 06:37:45 but it s not a problem Aug 08 06:39:17 alarmd_internal_error ... gurk !

Aug 08 08:43:49 qwerty12: in Australia they are named Holden Aug 08 08:45:06 ugh.. damn govt.. they didn't file my travel claim because the paperwork wound up in govt limbo Aug 08 08:45:24 hrw, heh, sounds even worse imo :P Aug 08 08:45:24 so now i'm probably going to have to wait another 3 weeks for my $3K Aug 08 08:45:43 qwerty12: which opel you use? Aug 08 08:47:46 hrw, it's called Vauxhall here in the UK Aug 08 08:48:12 qwerty12: I know Aug 08 08:48:27 Oh, which one do I have, I don't have a car :P :) Aug 08 08:48:31 * hrw wants Metro application for maemo Aug 08 08:48:47 qwerty12: how many years until you can make driver license? Aug 08 08:49:57 each time when I go to Berlin I need: Maemo mapper (to not get lost), GPE calendar (to keep event schedule), Garnet VM (to run Metro) Aug 08 08:50:04 hrw, You have to be 16 to apply for a provisional drivers license so you can take driving lessons. After you pass, you can apply for the full thing. Aug 08 08:50:33 Yeah, Metro is great. Never had any use for it but it ran well on PPC :) Aug 08 08:52:39 i know one of metro dev Aug 08 08:52:44 qwerty12: it is useful when you go to other city and do not want to get lost there Aug 08 08:52:51 they don't give me the right to use their db Aug 08 08:52:53 Khertan: ask him for gtk2 version? Aug 08 08:53:07 he don't want to make a gtk2 version at this time Aug 08 08:53:13 Read http://nanika.net/Metro/MetroO-en.html :( Aug 08 08:53:21 is there a considerable difference when adding a swap space on the flash in terms of performance? Aug 08 08:53:54 When you say flash, I assume you mean the internal 2gb? Aug 08 08:54:21 yeah, same thing isn't it? Aug 08 08:54:33 no Aug 08 08:54:40 Well, dunno about most people, I take flash to be the 256MB Aug 08 08:55:50 well, if the root partition is moved to the 2gb then the internal 256mb flash can be used as swap or the other way is to use the 2gb partition for both the root partition and the flash. Aug 08 08:55:53 is there any difference? Aug 08 08:55:55 liri: internal 2gb is sd card Aug 08 08:56:19 shit.. Metro do not have usable data for London ;( Aug 08 08:56:19 which has the fastest access times? Aug 08 08:56:32 only London nightbus or London tourist ;( Aug 08 08:56:48 hrw: right Aug 08 08:57:15 Khertan: i asked the Metro devvers whether i could help with their uiq3/symbian port, but they wheren't interested Aug 08 08:57:15 I join lbt when asking, which has faster access times? I'm assuming the 256mb flash does Aug 08 08:57:33 liri: you can try fastMMC kernel and then sd would be faster I think Aug 08 08:57:39 bleh: http://wiki.maemo.org/Category:Hardware_%26_Peripherals Aug 08 08:57:58 liri, not really. the flash uses jffs2 file system. jffs2 is compressed. Aug 08 08:58:05 ok so, back to the original question - is adding swap actually improves performance? Aug 08 08:58:13 qwerty12: yes but Aug 08 08:58:21 that's a choice of overlay Aug 08 08:58:40 jffs2 on mmc is slower than ext on mmc Aug 08 08:58:54 (isn't it?) Aug 08 08:58:57 jffs2 isn't meant for non-flash devices Aug 08 08:59:29 mmc is flash i'd say? Aug 08 08:59:40 holden rocks Aug 08 08:59:46 Quite likely Aug 08 09:00:09 oh, right - am I confused because the mmc card controller essentially does what the jffs2 algorithms do? Aug 08 09:00:19 so the internal flash is 'raw' Aug 08 09:00:23 trickie|work, you are only saying that because you are from Australia though. Come, we'll have a crash up derby, Vauxhall V Holden :P Aug 08 09:00:34 but the mmc flash is accessed via an mmc controller chip? Aug 08 09:01:12 qwerty12: well in australia there are two main car manufactures (there are more but for this story lets sya two) holden and ford Aug 08 09:01:13 * lbt can't think of 2 better makes of car to demolish Aug 08 09:01:22 qwerty12: and they say you are either a holden man or a ford man Aug 08 09:01:28 qwerty12: and i go for holden Aug 08 09:01:41 Hehe, I prefer ford but that's just me :D Aug 08 09:01:48 I used to be a ford man Aug 08 09:01:53 bleh, australian cars... Aug 08 09:01:55 * aquatix runs Aug 08 09:01:59 but then Tata bought Jaguar :D Aug 08 09:02:09 they did? Aug 08 09:02:11 meh Aug 08 09:02:13 yeah :( Aug 08 09:02:16 tata is taking over the world Aug 08 09:02:24 I have a genuine Ford Jaguar!

Aug 08 09:03:33 aquatix: yep, kind of nascar for australians, but way for cool :) Aug 08 09:03:34 or the engine class? :) Aug 08 09:03:37 ah Aug 08 09:03:51 sounds interesting :) Aug 08 09:03:54 Monoculture races suck. It's only people woorship Aug 08 09:04:26 * aquatix prefers the highway Aug 08 09:04:45 Machines are more interesting Aug 08 09:05:08 aquatix, yeah, although we call them motorway :D Aug 08 09:05:20 ~lart Windows because everything is shareware Aug 08 09:05:20 * infobot whips out a hot clue gun and makes sure that Windows because everything is shareware is stuck to the floor Aug 08 09:05:31 qwerty12: we call them snelweg ;) Aug 08 09:05:55 i guess that directly translates to `fast way' Aug 08 09:06:15 hehe Aug 08 09:06:39 wtf is a "hot clue gun" Aug 08 09:06:45 lol Aug 08 09:06:54 family of the cluebat Aug 08 09:06:55 qwerty12: a painful way for users to get a clue Aug 08 09:07:10 lol Aug 08 09:07:13 qwerty12: s/clue/glue Aug 08 09:07:24 yep, realised that one :) Aug 08 09:07:38 I could use one Aug 08 09:07:45 well, the youth of today, all playstations, never have to use tools and all that ;) Aug 08 09:08:03 feh, playstations...

I only have a softmodded xbox :/ Aug 08 09:09:04 * aquatix has a non-modded Wii Aug 08 09:09:12 * lardman has a PC Aug 08 09:09:12 of course with mario kart ;) Aug 08 09:09:23 lardman: i can tell you, the Wii is quite fun Aug 08 09:09:24 Ah, one of those things that show error messages in supermarkets? Aug 08 09:09:30 my first own console Aug 08 09:09:39 XTLi: no, those are windows terminals Aug 08 09:09:56 When softmodding the XBOX, I'm pretty sure my life expectancy went down after breathing in a lot of dust from my old computer. Aug 08 09:09:58 aquatix: yep, I've played on one, but.... I think I should go outside and play tennis/fight with swords, etc. ;) Aug 08 09:10:16 lardman: fair enough :) Aug 08 09:10:28 Mmm.. Swords Aug 08 09:10:28 I am being pestered to get one though Aug 08 09:10:41 Give in to the force Aug 08 09:10:49 things like mario kart, super mario galaxy [adventure], zelda and collective games like mario party are quite fun Aug 08 09:11:02 hell, we even have wii fit with that balance board Aug 08 09:11:07 yoga at home :) Aug 08 09:11:15 qwerty12: I might have to when TFU comes out in Sept Aug 08 09:12:12 Nice :) .

Aug 08 12:20:42 with Google Street source Aug 08 12:24:37 it does not download maps Aug 08 12:24:51 well, mine's broke Aug 08 12:24:58 I'd like to know why Aug 08 12:25:07 it]missing its home dir Aug 08 12:25:15 and went batshit :> Aug 08 12:25:54 hrw: maybe you crossed Google's daily dl limit Aug 08 12:26:23 AStorm: did not Aug 08 12:28:59 ok, something is fscked deeper Aug 08 12:29:08 openstreet maps are not fetched too Aug 08 12:29:25 your connection has failed? Aug 08 12:29:51 I see... Aug 08 12:30:22 dns Aug 08 12:30:37 ok, now, I tell you what happens, you tell me how to fix it :) Aug 08 12:31:28 mapper can't open any db file (because they're not there) Aug 08 12:31:34 how to fix? Aug 08 12:31:54 no idea Aug 08 12:32:34 ok, mapper is stupid Aug 08 12:33:01 it doesn't use readlink to check for exsistence of its dir :> Aug 08 12:33:11 *existence Aug 08 12:34:30 I had a symlink to zilch in my home dir Aug 08 12:35:54 Unconfirmed report that might affect your travel/work/investment plans http://europebusines.blogspot.com/2008/08/massive-us-naval-armada-heads-for-iran.html Aug 08 12:36:04 :> Aug 08 12:36:44 another is that Russia invaded^Wfreed S. Osetia (or Osetii) Aug 08 12:37:32 s/freed/liberated Aug 08 12:37:37 s/freed/liberated/ Aug 08 12:37:37 AStorm meant: s/liberated/liberated Aug 08 12:37:42 it looked like they want to seceede Aug 08 12:37:49 infobot: you're stupid Aug 08 12:37:50 * infobot scratches his head Aug 08 12:37:53 hah Aug 08 12:38:47 nice overview about audio stream over BT: http://ols.fedoraproject.org/OLS/Reprints-2008/holtmann-reprint.pdf Aug 08 12:38:47 ok, we need some uber version of A* for navigation with Google Street :) Aug 08 12:39:10 that is: vectorizer and A* Aug 08 12:39:43 and some speed tagging Aug 08 12:41:24 can I hear volunteers? Aug 08 12:43:04 "uber version"? Aug 08 12:43:35 no, GPS navigation version :) Aug 08 12:43:49 I mean, A* is not a hard algorithm. Aug 08 12:43:59 vectorizing is Aug 08 12:44:15 cpu-intensive Aug 08 12:44:24 I don't even know what you mean by that. Aug 08 12:44:27 ... Aug 08 12:44:35 drive-by-pixel is crap Aug 08 12:44:56 you need to convert the bitmap to a vector format Aug 08 12:45:04 then maybe tag street names Aug 08 12:45:21 and speed limits Aug 08 12:45:34 Or you could just use Open Street Map. Aug 08 12:45:35 btw Aug 08 12:45:41 And not have huge copyright infringement problems. Aug 08 12:45:58 derf: not if you keep it personal Aug 08 12:46:12 street name data is ok Aug 08 12:46:20 vectorized map is not Aug 08 12:46:35 so that part you'll have to do locally Aug 08 12:47:06 That sounds like a PITA. Aug 08 12:47:09 no Aug 08 12:47:17 offline, output is small Aug 08 12:47:29 do it in parts, while dling maybe :) Aug 08 12:47:40 I don't know about you, but I often want maps for somewhere I want to go in the next few minutes. Aug 08 12:47:58 ... predownload them? Aug 08 12:48:07 There's no "offline", unless you want everyone to locally store a bazillion gigabytes of map data. Aug 08 12:48:14 no, why? Aug 08 12:48:23 you need a bunch of major cities Aug 08 12:48:44 after processing, you could drop the original image even Aug 08 12:49:15 vector data is tiny Aug 08 12:49:52 I still had to download it once. Aug 08 12:49:56 yes Aug 08 12:50:06 you have to do it now anyway :P Aug 08 12:50:24 you don't have to vectorize everything at once Aug 08 12:50:30 And even "tiny" vector data for every conceivable place I might want to go is probably larger than just the bitmap data for the places I actually go. Aug 08 12:50:38 no Aug 08 12:50:44 well, yes Aug 08 12:51:04 but why vectoriye everything and not what you want? Aug 08 12:51:15 *vectorize Aug 08 12:51:21 Because it already takes too long just to download the maps _now_. Aug 08 12:51:29 And you want to make that take even longer. Aug 08 12:51:32 no Aug 08 12:51:35 same time Aug 08 12:51:44 cpu usage will go up Aug 08 12:51:45 No, because now you've got a huge processing step afterwards. Aug 08 12:51:50 not huge Aug 08 12:51:56 huge for offline dload Aug 08 12:51:57 I don't know about you, but when my tablet is downloading maps, it is pegging the CPU 100%. Aug 08 12:52:04 small for incremental dload Aug 08 12:52:10 hmmh Aug 08 12:52:14 that's sqlite Aug 08 12:52:23 I'd drop that crud already Aug 08 12:52:25 it sucks Aug 08 12:52:39 Well, if you solve _that_ problem, then maybe I'll care about the rest. Aug 08 12:52:46 :) Aug 08 12:52:47 But just fixing that by itself would be a nice first step. Aug 08 12:53:16 first, setting sqlite acid level to yilch speeds it up 1000x Aug 08 12:53:24 *zilch Aug 08 12:53:53 this stupid piece of software runs fsync after each transaction Aug 08 12:53:59 You know, I actually like the fact that when my tablet freezes and reboots, my ginormous map database that represents hours of downloading time doesn't get corrupted. Aug 08 12:54:09 heh yup Aug 08 12:54:22 I actually prefer file-based dbs Aug 08 12:54:33 easier to fix Aug 08 12:54:58 I don't want to have to fix it. Aug 08 12:55:03 if you need to reduce seek time, gzip Aug 08 12:55:06 I want it to not break. Aug 08 12:55:20 derf: well, fsync doesn't help Aug 08 12:55:35 JFFS2 is journalling, right? Aug 08 12:55:40 ext3 too Aug 08 12:55:48 etc. Aug 08 12:55:48 Only metadata. Aug 08 12:55:53 hmm Aug 08 12:56:02 I have no idea about jffs2, but it's irrelevant. Aug 08 12:56:09 relevant Aug 08 12:56:14 Nobody puts maps on their main card. Aug 08 12:56:16 it fsyncs really Aug 08 12:56:29 And nobody uses jffs2 anywhere else. Aug 08 12:56:30 ext3 doesn't, well Aug 08 12:56:48 ext3 cheats a bit, by default buffers up to 5s Aug 08 12:57:09 (or other if you set commit=x option) Aug 08 12:57:42 although MMC is slow Aug 08 12:57:50 2 MB/s or so Aug 08 12:58:21 It's not that slow... I can barely download that fast. Aug 08 12:58:33 but it frigging syncs every trans Aug 08 12:58:50 so you get a one writeblock write Aug 08 12:59:07 this stresses wear leveling too Aug 08 12:59:38 and the transactions aren't too large Aug 08 13:00:35 it's sqlite's fail Aug 08 13:01:10 other dbs don't fsync Aug 08 13:01:24 at worst you lose a transaction Aug 08 13:02:31 So don't bitch at me about it, go complain to them. Aug 08 13:02:44 well Aug 08 13:02:57 just use something better Aug 08 13:03:12 gunite accepts patches. Aug 08 13:03:18 yes Aug 08 13:03:34 I have to try a hack at it Aug 08 13:03:49 maybe at least "unsync" option Aug 08 13:04:21 and do real trans instead of sqlite's auto Aug 08 13:04:29 should help a lot Aug 08 13:07:08 dammit Aug 08 13:07:25 I'm getting "unable to create map repo" and crash Aug 08 13:08:00 I'll better check for updates Aug 08 13:10:36 could someone tell me some easy way to take screenshots on N810? Aug 08 13:11:04 zapppp: the Load Applet Aug 08 13:13:34 AStorm: I installed it just a moment ago and can't figure out where it stores the screenshots Aug 08 13:13:46 in ~ Aug 08 13:13:49 in your home directory Aug 08 13:13:53 in ~MyDocs/.images/ Aug 08 13:14:00 yes Aug 08 13:14:17 I don't get why they hid these dirs Aug 08 13:19:55 kulve: thats is a good doc Aug 08 13:20:11 lardman|lunch may be interested in it Aug 08 13:20:35 although he probably knows much of it from doing his experiments Aug 08 13:21:25 I want good doc too :) Aug 08 13:21:27 where? :) Aug 08 13:22:13 zap_: scroll up to kulve's last comment Aug 08 13:22:22 or Aug 08 13:22:23 nice overview about audio stream over BT: http://ols.fedoraproject.org/OLS/Reprints-2008/holtmann-reprint.pdf Aug 08 13:22:27 for the lazy :) Aug 08 13:22:27 I tried but my backlog is short Aug 08 13:22:31 ah ok Aug 08 13:22:34 there you go Aug 08 13:22:39 ah, I have xchat logging everything :) hehe, Big Brother watches you Aug 08 13:22:48 :) Aug 08 13:25:02 Isn't the log on a web page somewhere Aug 08 13:25:17 indeed cool stuff Aug 08 13:25:31 indeed, the log is in the channel subject Aug 08 13:38:33 lcuk: You should get it for your kid: http://gizmodo.com/5034644/working-plastic+welder-toy-for-kids-sounds-like-lawsuit+in+waiting Aug 08 13:38:44 Not a deadly laser, but still... Aug 08 13:44:32 RST38h: fun stuff, but needs good ventilation Aug 08 13:45:17 Love the smell of pvc in the morning Aug 08 13:46:13 pvc? who uses that nowadays? Aug 08 13:46:37 kinky people Aug 08 13:52:03 AStorm: beats weed. Aug 08 13:53:51 http://gizmodo.com/5034458/slow-motion-lightning-video-is-mindblowing-will-sell-a-thousand-slo+mo-cameras Aug 08 13:59:52 hmm Aug 08 13:59:58 someone broke stuff Aug 08 14:02:25 there's no new lightmediascanner-ogg Aug 08 14:02:45 kulve: move your junk :) Aug 08 14:03:05 update to 0.1.10-maemo3 Aug 08 14:03:21 heh pandora has a fat battery: - "Early testing of the battery at 500MHz, full screen brightness, audio section powered but not providing sound, and no power management has yielded 8.5 hours before the system shut down." Aug 08 14:04:16 how heavy and large is it? Aug 08 14:04:29 does it have an open 3D accel driver? Aug 08 14:04:43 pupnik_: will still reserve judgement until it's selling. It'll almost certainly be too bare bones to be anything other than an OSS DS competitor. Aug 08 14:04:47 supposedly "A little bigger than a nintendo ds lite, a little smaller than an original ds" Aug 08 14:04:56 it's pretty fat, 27mm iirc Aug 08 14:05:01 for the big honkin battery Aug 08 14:05:01 blah Aug 08 14:05:03 fail Aug 08 14:05:13 pointless for me then Aug 08 14:05:15 yeah, bigger than a zaurus... Aug 08 14:05:30 it would fit in my cargo pants pockets, but not suit pants Aug 08 14:05:35 right Aug 08 14:05:45 what I need is n810 with gsm modem :> Aug 08 14:05:48 still, takes up very little in a bag, purse, coat pocket Aug 08 14:06:03 and a camera Aug 08 14:06:05 8.5 hrs without power management puts it into another class Aug 08 14:06:09 yeah, and I always have a bag when I have a suit on... Aug 08 14:06:23 pupnik_: like that Raon Everlast? Aug 08 14:06:31 or what it's called Aug 08 14:06:34 something omap3 with a battery as big as the system board sounds about right to me :) Aug 08 14:06:34 dunno that Aug 08 14:07:12 johnx: if just Nokia made a custom battery for n810 instead of reusing bp5l Aug 08 14:07:24 there's not much space in n810 Aug 08 14:07:27 and waste space Aug 08 14:07:32 I'm tired of the screen update issues of the n8x0 series Aug 08 14:07:36 enough to put 2000 mAh Aug 08 14:07:41 yup Aug 08 14:07:45 and really, a little speed bump would be nice for web browsing Aug 08 14:07:51 fb chip is too slow Aug 08 14:07:55 when does screen update bother you johnx Aug 08 14:08:02 movies, duh Aug 08 14:08:04 games mostly Aug 08 14:08:12 and other interactive stuff Aug 08 14:08:47 movies can be worked around, since the movie player only has to be optimized once, but it's a problem for games... Aug 08 14:09:20 fix libsdl? Aug 08 14:09:50 kulve: frigging bump ogg-support plz Aug 08 14:10:15 johnx: +1 for the screen bandwidth issue Aug 08 14:10:40 it's even a problem for just normal screen redraws too Aug 08 14:10:45 The DSP on the OMAP3xxx also supports 8bit types, which would make life much easier Aug 08 14:11:36 part of me wants an omap3 based system that's the size of a small netbook. it could be mostly battery :) Aug 08 14:13:35 I'd just like something that doesn't choke on random videos, it's embarrassing Aug 08 14:13:57 and preferably something that still needs some work, otherwise I'll get bored :) Aug 08 14:15:16 hmm, looks like the DSP has a dedicated LCD DMA, I wonder where that would place data? Aug 08 14:15:18 johnx: a netbook form factor tablet would be great Aug 08 14:15:19 yeah, I'd actually be happy to have my n800 become my "boring, dependable, working" handheld :) Aug 08 14:15:24 (on the OMAP2xxx that is) Aug 08 14:15:51 lardman: so that LCD can talk to the epson, or only internal 2420 controller? Aug 08 14:15:56 memory Aug 08 14:16:12 pupnik_, same idea as the gigabyte m912 except an ARM instead of Atom? or smaller than that? Aug 08 14:16:23 so DSP can talk to the LCD, but probably not designed/workable with the external LCD controller we use Aug 08 14:16:29 about 'netbook' size for me Aug 08 14:16:41 or rather for older folks Aug 08 14:16:55 no Aug 08 14:17:00 too large Aug 08 14:17:04 they squint at 225dpi Aug 08 14:17:14 current form factor is ok Aug 08 14:17:22 iPhone-size Aug 08 14:17:23 AStorm: older folks need bigger screens Aug 08 14:17:35 DPI is not a problem. Non-scaleable GUIs are the problem Aug 08 14:17:48 johnx++ Aug 08 14:18:24 I like the iPhone browser (same goes for the Nokia phones I think) which can quickly show a page overview, then zoom in, etc. Aug 08 14:18:24 if your font size changes with a change in physical screen dpi/ppi your system is *broken* Aug 08 14:18:30 wrong. scaling the app or GUI doesn't get you an old-folks compatible reading/browsing/computing experience Aug 08 14:18:34 if the buttons change size it has major room for improvement Aug 08 14:18:49 pupnik: ... Aug 08 14:18:57 get fucking glasses Aug 08 14:19:00 :) Aug 08 14:19:07 AStorm: you fail to understand Aug 08 14:19:15 their eyes go bad Aug 08 14:19:26 and they don't like glasses? Aug 08 14:19:36 or contact lenses Aug 08 14:19:41 AStorm, sometimes glasses can't fix everything Aug 08 14:19:46 maybe install braille screen? Aug 08 14:19:49 my vision is 20/35 with glasses Aug 08 14:19:56 oh shi- Aug 08 14:20:01 :| Aug 08 14:20:17 yeah, it's not a problem...I just use bigger fonts on my high dpi screen Aug 08 14:20:21 * johnx rolls his eyes Aug 08 14:20:22 I don't like very small text Aug 08 14:20:51 I would prefer a slightly larger screen to be honest, Psion series 5 size, perhaps a touch smaller Aug 08 14:21:11 wouldn't be so pocketable, but would be more usable (for me at least) Aug 08 14:21:12 can't go thicker though Aug 08 14:21:21 would it be possible to attach a larger LCD to a used N800? Aug 08 14:21:29 I coulfd live with it if it had that keyboard! :) Aug 08 14:21:29 lardman, I actually keep looking at the psion 5 series as an interesting size...and the black/white LCD would take so little battery power... Aug 08 14:21:32 custom case.. Aug 08 14:21:36 pupnik: lcd controller is junk Aug 08 14:21:43 it'd choke Aug 08 14:21:49 johnx: colour is nice Aug 08 14:21:50 same resolution but 7" Aug 08 14:21:59 lardman, the olpc display seems really interesting Aug 08 14:22:00 pupnik: too large IMO Aug 08 14:22:01 pupnik: yep Aug 08 14:22:08 5,5" Aug 08 14:22:16 what about that? Aug 08 14:22:22 * lardman finds a ruler Aug 08 14:22:27 So, what have I missed? Aug 08 14:22:29 (size of old 770) Aug 08 14:22:30 only in cm :D Aug 08 14:22:55 ah yes, that's a decent size, just with a larger screen + N810 keyboard too Aug 08 14:23:02 yup Aug 08 14:23:10 and it's thickness Aug 08 14:23:18 RST38h, arguments about screen dpi, dreams of an omap3-based system between the size of a psion and a netbook, some other things probably Aug 08 14:23:26 bbiab Aug 08 14:23:42 johnx: Sounds like regular selection of topics Aug 08 14:23:48 No flame wars? No iPhone? =) Aug 08 14:24:25 yup :) Aug 08 14:24:38 still, add gsm modem Aug 08 14:24:48 there *is* enough space Aug 08 14:25:30 wimax, wifi, bt and gsm... made of win Aug 08 14:25:32 how is the framebuffer transferred to the LCD controller, a DMA of some sort? Aug 08 14:25:37 DMA Aug 08 14:25:38 switch wifi chip while at it Aug 08 14:25:56 There are actually three buffers Aug 08 14:25:58 lardman|afk: yes, but controller is slow Aug 08 14:26:01 RST38h: DMA to a peripheral then? Aug 08 14:26:07 larman: yep Aug 08 14:26:17 It goes like this: Aug 08 14:26:41 just wondering whether that could be done directly from the DSP, rather than having to write to the SDRAM framebuffer then let the ARM kernel call the update Aug 08 14:26:45 maybe there is some hidden hardware Aug 08 14:26:59 OMAP2 SDRAM ==DMA==> Epson chip buffer ==LCD IF==> LCD buffer Aug 08 14:27:23 do you happen to know what the Epson chip buffer is attached to? Aug 08 14:27:30 lardman: Probably, but you will have to screw Epson chip in a particular manner Aug 08 14:27:36 SPI? Aug 08 14:27:38 ;ardman: to the epson chip! Aug 08 14:27:41 ... Aug 08 14:27:45 yes Aug 08 14:27:50 SPI is it? Aug 08 14:27:57 this is prob. McSPI Aug 08 14:28:04 RST38h: doh! ;) Aug 08 14:28:04 "So, what do you do with an elephant gun? -- Hunt the elephants!" Aug 08 14:28:32 no, kill people :p Aug 08 14:28:38 lardman: you don't have direct access to two other buffers Aug 08 14:28:54 lardman: But you can probably tell Epson chip "receive this sequence of bytes and store it" Aug 08 14:28:55 RST38h: which are those? Aug 08 14:29:08 lardman: Epson chip buffer and LCD buffer Aug 08 14:29:28 AStorm: inefficient. Aug 08 14:29:36 RST38h: how are they different? Memory shadowed? Aug 08 14:29:37 AStorm: what? Aug 08 14:29:38 RST38h: yes Aug 08 14:29:55 kulve: lighmediascanner-ogg 0.1.10-maemo3 Aug 08 14:30:00 it's missing Aug 08 14:30:39 chinook repo, btw Aug 08 14:30:45 that should be provided by the canola team Aug 08 14:30:53 lardman: these buffers are internal and not accessible to a programmer Aug 08 14:31:16 kulve: hmm, then they failed at it Aug 08 14:31:18 lardman: So, you have to be aware of them but there is no need to waste time wondering how exactly they are connected Aug 08 14:31:28 "with wires" is a sufficient answer Aug 08 14:31:44 nope Aug 08 14:31:47 RST38h: I see, but they are available mapped to some memory location usually Aug 08 14:31:54 lardman: No Aug 08 14:32:02 with wires using serial protocol is Aug 08 14:32:14 lardman: If N8x0 used OMAP2 own buffer, it would be mapped Aug 08 14:32:17 they're not mmapped Aug 08 14:32:29 lardman: But Nokia went for the external chip with its own buffer Aug 08 14:32:30 they are accessed how then? Aug 08 14:32:41 lardman: they are not accessed by you Aug 08 14:32:42 RST38h: for reasons unknown Aug 08 14:32:51 AStorm: For a well known reason Aug 08 14:32:58 so why is it a problem if I don't need to access them...? Aug 08 14:33:01 chip gets a "update buffer" command Aug 08 14:33:05 AStorm: OMAP2 does not support 800x480 resolution Aug 08 14:33:06 epson Aug 08 14:33:14 I thought you were saying that the ARM side can access them, but the DSP won't be able to, etc. Aug 08 14:33:14 RST38h: hmm? Aug 08 14:33:17 ouch Aug 08 14:33:20 lardman: it is not a problem Aug 08 14:33:41 RST38h: it does according to the Ti header (display.h) ;) Aug 08 14:33:45 lardman: you just have to be aware of how the whole system works electrically, even if you can't access every piece of it in softwarer Aug 08 14:34:20 RST38h: so the bottom line is: it's slow Aug 08 14:34:37 lardman: I am saying that instead of configuring Epson chip to DMA data from SDRAM you can probably set it to be controlled directly Aug 08 14:34:48 too slow probably Aug 08 14:34:53 AStorm: Well, not slow if you make all the parts work in harmony Aug 08 14:35:03 ah, I was thinking that data would be pushed into it Aug 08 14:35:06 AStorm: But it is not always possible Aug 08 14:35:11 rather than pulled into it Aug 08 14:35:25 lardman: As I said, Epson chip probably allows both ways Aug 08 14:36:21 push might be slow Aug 08 14:36:35 as it's normally used for commands Aug 08 14:37:36 yep Aug 08 14:37:53 But if you are bent on using it, it may be possible Aug 08 14:38:06 though pointless Aug 08 14:38:19 what, push>? Aug 08 14:38:27 yes Aug 08 14:38:35 I was just wondering if there was a faster way of displaying data Aug 08 14:38:45 but I'm not mad Aug 08 14:38:51 not unless you rewire Aug 08 14:39:18 you could try forcing refreshes more often Aug 08 14:39:24 from the DSP I mean Aug 08 14:39:33 ah, then no Aug 08 14:39:45 but why not :) ? Aug 08 14:39:51 none I know of Aug 08 14:39:55 unless the DSP is not attached to the correct bus Aug 08 14:40:06 because epson is attached to dma Aug 08 14:40:23 and dma takes data from memory Aug 08 14:40:25 well it could be un-DMA'd, but that might be tricky Aug 08 14:40:58 uhm, with push Aug 08 14:41:11 but that will be almost certainly slower Aug 08 14:41:11 BTW, has anyone got access to OMAP's internal video buffer? Aug 08 14:41:55 kulve: any idea how to get lightmediascanner-ogg or whom to prod? Aug 08 14:41:56 yeah, it's mapped in kernel space Aug 08 14:42:07 but not displayed Aug 08 14:42:15 AStorm: no, by setting up a DMA on the DSP Aug 08 14:42:15 you could work on it Aug 08 14:42:20 could that be used for a kind of cache? Aug 08 14:42:48 Can I get access to it in user space? Aug 08 14:42:55 yes, mmap Aug 08 14:42:58 ah Aug 08 14:43:11 look at the bora framebuffer code for the address Aug 08 14:43:25 I think I know the address;) Aug 08 14:43:42 AStorm: Eduardo Lima (Etrunko), eblima@gmail.com Aug 08 14:43:44 0xdeadbeef? ;) Aug 08 14:43:53 kulve: thanks :) Aug 08 14:43:54 You can probably draw there and let Epso chip DMA from that internal memory? Aug 08 14:44:00 Or is it not DMAble? Aug 08 14:44:13 hmmmmm Aug 08 14:44:20 that sounds like a plan Aug 08 14:45:13 it's too small for the usual res Aug 08 14:45:26 not sure it'll be any faster than the SDRAM, but might be Aug 08 14:45:31 DMA twice? Aug 08 14:45:34 possible? Aug 08 14:45:58 interlacing :> Aug 08 14:47:02 you can just call the update ioctl after the dma from the DSP->ARM has completed Aug 08 14:47:18 yes Aug 08 14:47:31 not ideal, but probably faster than the current writing each 16bit value into the shared memory region Aug 08 14:47:47 lardman: it should be faster than sdram Aug 08 14:48:13 I'd expect 10-15% Aug 08 14:49:31 less cpu usage too Aug 08 14:49:32 what is the SRAM anyway? Aug 08 14:49:41 yeah DMA would be better for that Aug 08 14:49:47 sdram? normal ram Aug 08 14:50:07 so, the built-in framebuffer memory is called SRAM in the kernel code Aug 08 14:50:19 SRAM is very good Aug 08 14:50:39 It may be significantly better than 10-15% depending on how you access it Aug 08 14:50:50 well Aug 08 14:50:58 you need to dma twice Aug 08 14:50:58 Sequential accesses to SDRAM are just as fast but SRAM rules for random accesses Aug 08 14:51:08 AStorm: you need to DMA twice anyway Aug 08 14:51:14 hmm right Aug 08 14:51:27 AStorm: if you use the model proposed by lardman (DSP->RAM->EPSON) Aug 08 14:52:01 on the othe rhand dma is sequential by nature and this makes use of SDRAM properties Aug 08 14:52:26 bye ... Aug 08 14:52:43 but screen updates aren't, except in special cases Aug 08 14:52:50 well, I'll look at dma to the standard framebuffer in the first instance, see what that does Aug 08 14:52:52 hmmh Aug 08 14:53:40 bora used to have a framebuffer in the SRAM, might be interesting to see how quick that was to use Aug 08 14:54:56 if you could get 640x480... Aug 08 14:55:07 yeah Aug 08 14:56:02 ah well, if someone wants to test the SRAM, I'll test the DSP DMA Aug 08 14:57:17 any thoughts as to my strange sbc behaviour, data are passed to the dsp in 512 byte chunks, it does some processing then returns a 74 byte chunk (iirc), this is done through shared memory (i.e. SDRAM) Aug 08 14:57:43 if someone tries to watch a video while using the encoder, the framerate drops to ~1fps but the audio continues fine Aug 08 14:58:26 it's not a lack of cpu on the ARM side, any other ideas? Aug 08 14:58:48 sdram is being used a lot Aug 08 14:58:56 yeah, would that cause such issues? Aug 08 14:58:57 and it has limited bandwidth Aug 08 14:59:02 maybe Aug 08 14:59:20 encoder uses a lot of ram Aug 08 14:59:23 well about the same number of reads and writes would be needed if it were all on the ARM side Aug 08 14:59:37 encoder doesn't use any SDRAM other than the buffers to pass in and out Aug 08 15:00:14 does it work faster w/o any dsp? Aug 08 15:00:27 yeah, it runs at the usual 30fps Aug 08 15:00:37 or whatever it's supposed to be Aug 08 15:00:38 hmmm Aug 08 15:00:46 maybe dma is too slow? Aug 08 15:01:17 dma isn't used for DSP<->ARM afaict Aug 08 15:01:40 possibly dsp kernel gets stalled? Aug 08 15:01:51 (due to cpu usage?) Aug 08 15:01:58 no, the DSP kernel is fine as the audio is still decoded at full speed Aug 08 15:02:16 just the video framerate (i.e. all ARM-side) is killed Aug 08 15:02:16 hmmmm Aug 08 15:03:52 so, there's extra kernel overhead from the DSP transfers, this is not alot, but if it's knackering a timer then it might have an impact, and there's also the mmu work of sharing the data Aug 08 15:05:32 anyway, thought I'd try dma'ing the ARM<->DSP stuff and see if that helps Aug 08 15:06:09 maybe some khread isn't RT? Aug 08 15:06:23 I wonder if mplayer can spit out some more info to give me a better idea of what's causing its problems Aug 08 15:07:11 It has a -really-quiet switch, think it comes with a -really-annoying switch? :P Aug 08 15:07:16 AStorm: yeah, that's the other option, I wonder if I set the LCD to autoupdate, it that would show more frames Aug 08 15:07:28 qwerty12: yeah -v 9 or something Aug 08 15:07:40 lardman, thanks, good to know Aug 08 15:08:08 AStorm: as atm I suppose mplayer has to enter the kernel via an ioctl to push the frame Aug 08 15:08:13 I don't know Aug 08 15:08:30 anyway, time to go, see you chaps later, have a nice weekend and all that :) Aug 08 15:18:42 "ARM Releases AAC, MP3, MPEG-4, H.264 and FFT OpenMAX DL Libraries, Highly Optimized for Cortex-A8/NEON and ARM11 Processors" Aug 08 15:18:45 http://www.arm.com/news/21181.html Aug 08 16:04:31 * GAN800 eyes the new logo on the site.

Aug 08 16:04:44 Welcome to Web 2.0 <_< Aug 08 16:05:04 It seems to be getting worse rather than growing on me Aug 08 16:05:19 how do you say in english when a reccurent event is planned for the day : 'All day' Aug 08 16:05:43 gan800 > web 2.0 is a marketting term Aug 08 16:06:21 '* GAN800 eyes the new logo on the site' Aug 08 16:06:21 i mean from the start of the day to the end ... Aug 08 16:06:31 oh ... Aug 08 16:06:37 i ll look Aug 08 16:06:43 Yes, Khertan, I'm well aware of what the term means. ;) Aug 08 16:07:40 GAN800, which site? Aug 08 16:07:41 hum not very well integrated with the current sitge Aug 08 16:07:48 maemo.org Aug 08 16:08:46 Oh I see. I prefer the old logo there. Maybe if the rest of the page is more modernised, it will fit there. Aug 08 16:09:08 I just don't very much care for the logo. Aug 08 16:12:08 GAN800, is totally Web 1.0 Aug 08 16:15:19 Sourceforge Aug 08 16:18:53 GAN800: well, if you wanted to help pick it you shouldn't have submitted one... Aug 08 16:19:14 Did I submit one? Aug 08 16:19:23 * GAN800 eyeroll Aug 08 16:19:23 didn't you? Aug 08 16:19:27 No. Aug 08 16:19:38 I didn't hear you volunteer to judge them Aug 08 16:19:53 I was in California Aug 08 16:19:58 I was in the UK Aug 08 16:20:07 I was with j00r mother Aug 08 16:20:08 peter was in nokialand Aug 08 16:20:11 Besides, dneary was picking up people like Peter Aug 08 16:20:42 in the end there were only 4 of us Aug 08 16:20:44 California is relevant because I was on vacation with limited internet access. Aug 08 16:21:08 Oh, OK, defensive. Aug 08 16:21:11 lack of interest from those in the community who didn't submit I guess Aug 08 16:21:13 right then Aug 08 16:21:23 no - I was just surprised Aug 08 16:21:32 that not many people wanted to help pick Aug 08 16:21:57 anyhow - no complaining if you didn't volunteer ;) Aug 08 16:22:06 * GAN800 eyeroll Aug 08 16:22:12 lardman|gone, the epson chip apparantly has 2 DMA modes and we are only using one of them (the slowest) if the other DMA mode is available it should bring an improvement in bandwidth. im not sure where i read about the slower mode, but if it doesnt involve soldering it might be worth looking into Aug 08 16:22:20 (of course, anyone who submitted a logo can complain as much as they like!) Aug 08 16:22:33 as for other methods to get the data into the chip, i dont think the epson can see the internal SRAM Aug 08 16:22:40 I've got enough on my plate without adding more Aug 08 16:22:53 I've got practically nothing to do. Aug 08 16:22:55 lcuk, no idea if this relates to what you said but the epson chip is connected by a low speed interface Aug 08 16:22:57 oh, wait... Aug 08 16:22:59 there's probably such a thing as being too involved. Aug 08 16:23:13 qwerty12, thats exactly what i said :P Aug 08 16:23:15 _Maemo stuff_ Aug 08 16:23:28 well, it's done now, make the best of it Aug 08 16:23:42 lcuk, I just dont see DMA != interfaces but I dunno what I am on about :) Aug 08 16:23:47 and we got peter to allow the use of the logo on its own Aug 08 16:23:48 Anyway, man up and handle a little criticism. Aug 08 16:23:55 lbt, you getting twitchy fingers? need something to code?

Aug 08 16:25:51 will that cheapen the art? Aug 08 16:25:56 :) Aug 08 16:26:01 logo on cheese? Aug 08 16:26:07 hum sorry wrong windows Aug 08 16:26:15 you could sell that on the maemo.org art store for $999 Aug 08 16:26:16 windows is always wrong Aug 08 16:26:39 lcuk > of course u can make a tshirt with it Aug 08 16:26:42 bbl Aug 08 16:26:48 \o/ w0000t Aug 08 16:26:55 i ll try to get one with it Aug 08 16:27:04 for the summit Aug 08 16:27:06 :) Aug 08 16:27:22 i might get a tshirt with the logo filename printed on it Aug 08 16:27:42 lcuk > hehe Aug 08 16:27:48 did you use your tablet to sketch it? Aug 08 16:27:54 :) Aug 08 16:27:58 yep :) Aug 08 16:28:06 good job man Aug 08 16:28:13 lol Aug 08 16:28:20 then i shall wear it with pride - until people ask me why im bleeding Aug 08 16:28:32 i must go anyway Aug 08 16:28:46 * lcuk packs up his bag and goes home Aug 08 16:28:52 i m looking for an online shop that make t shirt Aug 08 16:29:09 lcuk > hehe i m in the train to go home Aug 08 16:58:42 hum i need to make a larger image if want to make a t shirt Aug 08 17:04:40 moo all Aug 08 17:07:18 m00 Aug 08 17:11:06 bye Aug 08 17:28:51 fucking shit...it's war. Aug 08 17:30:20 RST38h, eh? Aug 08 17:35:20 johnx: http://www.reuters.com/article/newsOne/idUSL768040420080808 Aug 08 17:36:02 ah, here I was worried it was the US being incredibly stupid... Aug 08 17:37:06 johnx: Well, the puppets are usually chosen to be more stupid than their master Aug 08 17:37:49 Still, this is out of the ordinary Aug 08 17:39:57 wow...the whole situation sounds like a real clusterfuck Aug 08 17:40:34 it is still somewhat reversible Aug 08 17:41:30 I really haven't been terribly impressed with what any governments have been up to these last 10 years or so... Aug 08 17:41:54 at the very least, they could leave things as they were. Aug 08 17:48:30 1400 local corpses, 10 Russian peacekeepers, unannounced number of Georgians (there was video of their corpses on the streets though) Aug 08 17:51:21 gah... Aug 08 17:51:38 anyways, enough depressing things for now. I need to get some sleep Aug 08 17:51:46 I hope things work out... Aug 08 18:09:47 What's the best way to get started developing with Maemo? Aug 08 18:09:56 install Ubuntu Aug 08 18:10:03 install Maemo SDK Aug 08 18:10:07 I have the SDK Aug 08 18:10:09 download a sample Aug 08 18:10:16 I build hello world app for x86. Aug 08 18:10:24 How do I run this thing? Aug 08 18:10:29 build it for ARMEL, transfer to device, and test Aug 08 18:10:36 DIABLO_X86 Aug 08 18:10:42 I assume there is a better way to test Aug 08 18:10:52 The only reliable way to test is on the device Aug 08 18:11:11 Sargun: start xephyr, start hildon inside scratchbox, test program. Aug 08 18:11:51 does xephyr ship with the SDK? Aug 08 18:12:22 Sargun, if you have a device available, just compile for armel, copy binary over and run it Aug 08 18:12:33 it can be automated with a script and ssh commands quite easily Aug 08 18:12:49 I'd prefer to do development on this box, is there any way I can do that? Aug 08 18:13:03 Sargun: not sure at the moment, I think I have this package installed from debian. Aug 08 18:13:13 yes, the xephyr way Aug 08 18:13:30 but theres nothing better than touching your own code :) Aug 08 18:13:33 Sargun: but xephyr is the thing recommended in the maemo tutorials so it might be included in the sdk. Aug 08 18:20:29 does anyone in here know a lot about s60 v3? the people in #symbian are morons and as helpful as omweather if you live outside the us Aug 08 18:21:21 not to be an ass, but omweather works great outside the US... Aug 08 18:21:33 not here it doesnt :p Aug 08 18:21:39 where is here? Aug 08 18:21:43 norway Aug 08 18:21:48 it works in Japan Aug 08 18:21:57 there are about 10 locations covered in the entire country Aug 08 18:22:02 aaah Aug 08 18:22:18 I happen to live in the second biggest city in Japan :) Aug 08 18:22:32 you have to have a shitload of gadgets o.o Aug 08 18:22:38 ahaha Aug 08 18:22:49 haven't bought much recently... Aug 08 18:23:07 a couple SD cards and some cheap headphones... :P Aug 08 18:23:14 either way i use handy weather for my e51, its way more accurate even though it costs money. can add location by GPS and it extrapolates, even if the nearest preset location is only 15 km away Aug 08 18:23:19 lol Aug 08 18:23:26 i want one of those new fujitsu UMPCs Aug 08 18:23:32 u10203040 or wtf its called Aug 08 18:23:48 u2010 Aug 08 18:23:56 9 hours battery life Aug 08 18:24:01 the fujitsu u-can't-afford-it? Aug 08 18:24:34 it's funny, cause the hp mini-notebook is the one stores here can't keep in stock Aug 08 18:26:47 i want some smal pc but all they have here is crap Aug 08 18:26:48 or Aug 08 18:26:55 the hp p1620 pwns but its 4000 USD Aug 08 18:27:13 acer aspire one XP version isnt released until 2 weeks Aug 08 18:27:19 and i want a new toy now :( Aug 08 18:29:03 anyways, I really should sleep :) Aug 08 18:29:19 good luck with S60 (and finding a new toy) Aug 08 18:34:02 Cptn: Toshiba R500 Aug 08 18:34:11 starting from $1500 Aug 08 18:35:32 RST38h: if it only did that here, starting at 2200 :po Aug 08 18:35:38 goingu up to well over 4000 Aug 08 18:35:51 Cptn: Where is "here"? Aug 08 18:36:00 noway Aug 08 18:36:07 +r if you feel like it Aug 08 18:36:11 Oh Aug 08 18:36:21 How about ordering from US? Aug 08 18:36:49 taxes would still jump it up some Aug 08 18:37:03 How about asking someone to bring it for you? Aug 08 18:37:18 1500 is only a weeks pay or so, but with taxes and shit it would be 2000 Aug 08 18:37:32 dont know anyone going this way Aug 08 18:37:36 also a lot of money Aug 08 18:37:41 2000 is still ok if you are going to use it for a few years Aug 08 18:37:55 acer aspire one with a bigger battery and XP would be nice once its released but i still prefert tablets Aug 08 18:38:07 tablets generally weight more Aug 08 18:38:12 thats true but i already got a laptop and the n800 Aug 08 18:38:34 ah Aug 08 18:39:11 fact is i dont need any more gadgets, but i dropped my vacation to work so i want some new toy :p Aug 08 18:39:58 someone needs to invent some new gadget type noone can live without Aug 08 18:40:55 Heart implant Aug 08 18:40:57 what annoys me about these f'ing "netbooks" is that they have crappy battery life. the n800 can easily do 6 hours of my usage and i have a usb battery backup which can tripple that Aug 08 18:41:04 Sooner or later, nobody can live without it Aug 08 18:41:23 an XP aspire one here will be 640, and a bigger battery is 150 Aug 08 18:43:17 someone should make a 7" n800 with an atom CPU and a bit more ram, otherwise the same Aug 08 18:43:44 Atom CPU - no go Aug 08 18:43:48 wont there be hundreds of atom clones, use arm Aug 08 18:44:02 well some kind of faster CPU Aug 08 18:44:16 * RST38h is fine with the current N8x0 CPU Aug 08 18:44:17 lack of power for real xvid playback is the only thing i dont liek about nit's Aug 08 18:44:23 the cpu is plenty fast enough - its the graphics which let this device slip Aug 08 18:44:32 ah Aug 08 18:44:40 TV is showing Firefly tonight, nice treat =) Aug 08 18:44:55 well whatever makes it support xvid Aug 08 18:44:57 lcuk: It is not CPU, it is not graphics. Aug 08 18:45:01 would pwn Aug 08 18:45:15 lcuk: Actually weird how few people know what slows it down ;) Aug 08 18:45:17 its having to render all that stuff manually, there is another 2 specialised ARM cores sitting idle Aug 08 18:45:40 lcuk: It is the memory performance. Aug 08 18:46:11 what cpu are they using? Aug 08 18:46:38 lcuk: Don't believe me - allocate 8MB of RAM and do 1024 random reads in a tight loop Aug 08 18:46:44 See how long they will take Aug 08 18:46:56 i do that Aug 08 18:47:23 just don't read sequentially - sequential read performance is more or less ok Aug 08 18:47:25 maybe not 8mb, but tight fast loops Aug 08 18:47:34 and i jump because its bitmaps Aug 08 18:47:37 You have to read from a large pool Aug 08 18:47:44 do a strip, jump forward, read another strip Aug 08 18:47:46 So that you exceed cache Aug 08 18:47:58 like bitmapped image size Aug 08 18:48:04 nah, reading in strips does not count Aug 08 18:48:07 4096*4096 scaling Aug 08 18:48:14 down to arbitary size Aug 08 18:48:44 RST38h, the memory is fine :) perhaps you are falling into the cpu freq hole. sometimes a tight loop makes the cpu think its not busy so it slows down Aug 08 18:48:50 4096*4096 = 16 megapixels Aug 08 18:48:54 try it again on performance and then te me Aug 08 18:49:13 lcuk: reading stuff in strips is not random reads Aug 08 18:50:12 but scaling the bitmap is certainly not sequential within buffer Aug 08 18:50:58 Cptnodegard, OMAP2420 Aug 08 18:51:26 lcuk: it is sequential Aug 08 18:51:35 lcuk: you write in strips, left to right Aug 08 18:51:57 yes but picking far enough away to not be bufferable Aug 08 18:52:25 by the way, this is the image http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/Newsroom/NewImages/Images/modis_wonderglobe_lrg.jpg Aug 08 18:55:33 ive seen that planet before... Aug 08 18:55:40 vulcan? kronos? cardassia? Aug 08 18:55:46 [/trekkie humour] Aug 08 18:55:47 lcuk: SDRAM can do sequential (even uncacheable) reads relatively well Aug 08 18:56:19 Cptnodegard, its epsilon III i believe Aug 08 18:57:18 oic Aug 08 18:57:35 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epsilon_III ;) Aug 08 18:58:21 RST38h, so what, it has to slow down, find a place to do a u-turn and then carefully pull back out into traffic to go the other way? Aug 08 18:58:37 its memory and the performance isnt that bad Aug 08 18:59:03 lcuk: well, as you wish to think :) Aug 08 18:59:20 lcuk episilon is a ST planet too, form voyager Aug 08 18:59:29 But in a real life, where you do not access memory in stripes, it is damn slow Aug 08 19:00:18 i access random memory all the time - one letter is over here, the next is over there, the other is over there Aug 08 19:00:29 each different malloc and i dunno where the char comes from Aug 08 19:00:36 some have only a few bytes each Aug 08 19:00:38 others have Aug 08 19:00:40 lots Aug 08 19:01:48 so, no S60 experts in here? Aug 08 19:01:54 i dont see it being slow apart from byte only is slower, and unaligned longs cost me about 1fps but the direction of where i go isnt slow Aug 08 19:02:03 or if anyone know a way to get google calendar to ignore robots.txt Aug 08 19:02:22 it shouldnt ignore robots Aug 08 19:02:47 yes it should, otherwise its uselss to me Aug 08 19:02:50 why do you want google to scan a banned domain? why not open up the areas for google to come in Aug 08 19:02:59 ie use robots properly Aug 08 19:04:30 my school offers my schedule as .ics downloads, which i could sync with me E51 if i just got google calendar to read the ics file - which it cant because the morons put a robots.txt on the server Aug 08 19:05:18 cant you push it with a script from your account to somewhere visible - ie post direct to the cal account or something? Aug 08 19:05:57 i dont know how to do that Aug 08 19:06:50 i got as far as modifying a php script to get me a recent ics file (the url is static with from and to dates) but thats as far as my skills go Aug 08 19:08:13 but i do know someone i can bug to help me >:D Aug 08 19:08:36 why dont you ask your school techs? Aug 08 19:08:52 system admin didnt understand the question Aug 08 19:08:54 -.- Aug 08 19:08:54 they will know about google calendar and stuff and might have a method Aug 08 19:09:03 heh Aug 08 19:09:19 have you got an 8 year old brother? Aug 08 19:09:35 asked if he could either remove robots or modify it to allow the timedit directory and he didnt understand the question Aug 08 19:09:38 lol Aug 08 19:09:41 yeah but hes stupid Aug 08 19:10:15 heh so who does the tech support in your family Aug 08 19:11:13 peolpe i have on gtalk :p Aug 08 19:11:26 they normally do the technical part of my random ideas Aug 08 19:11:38 http://highearthorbit.com/publish-ical-to-google-calendar/ Aug 08 19:12:37 so far i have a webcomic to canol2 photofeed script thingy, a script that looks up phone numbers and gives me back a contacts file (for my cell) and a norwegian postal tracking to rss script Aug 08 19:12:52 all of them courtesy of peopl ei bug Aug 08 19:13:40 ohohohoh nice link Aug 08 19:15:47 lol wtf cnet crave are weird Aug 08 20:30:41 http://alex-weej.blogspot.com/2008/08/sucata-run-2008.html Aug 08 20:31:21 http://alex-weej.blogspot.com/2008/08/sucata-run-2008.html Aug 08 20:40:10 before anyone else grills me for spam, sorry. "/amsg" works for all networks at once in X-Chat, CAUTION! Aug 08 20:43:58 orly Aug 08 20:45:08 let us grill him for spam! Aug 08 20:45:20 ew spam Aug 08 20:45:23 and add some vegetables too Aug 08 20:45:40 'cause there is some meaningless crap written at that url Aug 08 20:47:20 and there were some of us that clicked the same link twice! Aug 08 21:08:02 Hi, useful trouble-solvers! Aug 08 21:12:08 Anyone heard about the Application Manager: Operation failed error? Aug 08 21:12:17 yes Aug 08 21:12:19 nevar Aug 08 21:12:46 Ok Aug 08 21:13:12 Nevermind. I was trying a dpkg --configure -a Aug 08 21:13:20 But i got this http://pastebin.ca/1096138 Aug 08 21:13:59 What the hell does it means? Aug 08 21:14:55 bef0rd, me siento mal, toda esta gente me resuelve los problemas y no les doy un duro -_- Aug 08 21:16:08 heh, are you sure that error message is complete? there seems to be something missing at the end Aug 08 21:16:57 I noticed it too, but it is complete Aug 08 21:17:44 Maybe it wants to say Version contains a space or a "'" Aug 08 21:19:40 Any i Aug 08 21:19:44 yea heh Aug 08 21:19:55 ...deas Aug 08 21:19:55 there seems to be a problem with a package Aug 08 21:20:04 with python2.5-runtime Aug 08 21:20:09 The python one Aug 08 21:20:22 where did you get it from? extras? Aug 08 21:20:33 I believe Aug 08 21:20:49 I think so lol Aug 08 21:21:49 Hmmm, i would uninstall it, but app manager does not work. Apt-get purge doesn't. Is there another way or command? Aug 08 21:22:33 # apt-get -f install Aug 08 21:22:33 ? Aug 08 21:22:47 Oh god, i feel idiot lol Aug 08 21:23:16 I mean, try that, dont know if it'll solve it Aug 08 21:23:18 same error given Aug 08 21:23:22 :P Aug 08 21:24:32 There Should be a way to uninstall it.... -F install would solve depends. But the problem is in the package, i believe... Aug 08 21:25:15 try apt-cache policy python2.5-runtime Aug 08 21:25:21 to see where does it come from Aug 08 21:27:10 It says nothing but the error -_-U Aug 08 21:28:12 Quote: this is what i did when i had that error and it saved me. When i looked at my status file, it had some corruption (non-ascii characters) in it. Aug 08 21:28:26 That means why it looked uncomplete Aug 08 21:31:45 Ooook. I must replace /var/lib/dpkg/status with /var/lib/dpkg/status-old Aug 08 21:32:00 Which is a backup file Aug 08 21:32:16 How do i do it from xterm? Aug 08 21:32:43 got root? Aug 08 21:32:54 Yeah Aug 08 21:32:57 mv /var/lib/dpkg/status /var/lib/dpkg/status-corrupted Aug 08 21:33:03 mv /var/lib/dpkg/status-old /var/lib/dpkg/status Aug 08 21:33:25 Is the first necessary? Aug 08 21:33:38 yes Aug 08 21:33:48 Because i'll b replacing it anyway Aug 08 21:33:50 Ok Aug 08 21:33:53 Thanks Aug 08 21:34:08 it won't 'replace' it if there is a file with the same name Aug 08 21:34:28 I would change the second one though Aug 08 21:34:32 cp /var/lib/dpkg/status-old /var/lib/dpkg/status Aug 08 21:34:44 that will create a copy instead of only renaming it Aug 08 21:36:34 Oh, blooding hell. That didn't solve the problem. Aug 08 21:36:44 * Binky cries Aug 08 21:44:50 Does anyone have a jaiku invite for me? Is that how it works? Aug 08 21:46:19 yes. Aug 08 21:46:37 I read that there is a site that 'gives' jaiku invites Aug 08 21:47:03 Sorry, i do not have Aug 08 21:47:17 Do you want gmail invites? Lol Aug 08 21:47:45 gmail I have :) Aug 08 21:48:06 i need one Binky Aug 08 21:48:45 we need one of those "I'm Rich" apps Aug 08 21:49:43 pupnik, we could sell them Aug 08 21:52:09 http://entertainment.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/08/08/1347212 Aug 08 22:01:53 bef0rd, i can't remove the package Aug 08 22:02:32 :/ Aug 08 22:02:48 can't you reflash? :P Aug 08 22:03:39 Is the last thing i would do lol Aug 08 22:04:27 let me see, there should be a way to fix it Aug 08 22:06:10 apt-get clean;apt-get autoclean;apt-get update Aug 08 22:06:42 Tried them all Aug 08 22:07:28 do you have nano installed? Aug 08 22:08:10 Ji Aug 08 22:08:21 ji? Aug 08 22:08:44 Sorry, i pushed enter instead of return Aug 08 22:09:01 Just removed it when i got the error Aug 08 22:09:40 I can open in another text editor Aug 08 22:11:13 lol, ji ^^ Aug 08 22:11:48 I thought it was 'ji editor' or something Aug 08 22:11:49 :P Aug 08 22:12:03 Lol Aug 08 22:12:15 What file should i edit then? Aug 08 22:12:16 copy status file to your external mmc Aug 08 22:12:27 open it on your pc Aug 08 22:13:50 and check near line 7370 Aug 08 22:14:28 O_o Aug 08 22:14:38 I have my pc broken Aug 08 22:14:45 Maybe i have vim Aug 08 22:16:08 I can't fix that Aug 08 22:16:12 Ooooooh. I'll have to scroll tooooo much Aug 08 22:16:29 there's a shortcut to go to an specific line number Aug 08 22:17:30 If you want to go to the nth line, type the number n followed by G. For example, 150G takes you to the 150th line. If you don't have as many as 150 lines, you won't be punished -- the cursor just jump to the last line. Aug 08 22:20:15 'G' is not implemented -_-U Aug 08 22:23:05 Ok, i'm there Aug 08 22:27:32 http://pastebin.ca/1096217 Aug 08 22:27:34 ugh, seems like having swap on the internal N800 card while plugging the tablet into my desktop pc triggers some kind of bug in the linux ehci driver Aug 08 22:28:05 t_s_o, ehci? Aug 08 22:28:17 usb 2.0 speeds iirc Aug 08 22:29:20 that is on my desktop end btw, but i cant trigger it with anything but my tablet Aug 08 22:29:35 and with swap off, i cant trigger it at all... Aug 08 22:29:52 Ugh Aug 08 22:30:10 Sorry, i'm spanish and don't know what trigger means Aug 08 22:30:57 I head it in KISS' Love Gun "you pull out the trigger of myyyy.... Love gun!" Aug 08 22:31:04 Oh, and in s Aug 08 22:31:06 Since https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3252 is WONTFIX, I'm ready to disallow anonymous edits over http. Aug 08 22:31:08 Anybody object? Aug 08 22:32:16 GeneralAntilles, what if someone provides a solution? Won't be able to put it in the wiki Aug 08 22:32:25 Or is it unfixable? Aug 08 22:32:39 It's the server setup. Aug 08 22:32:44 It COULD be fixed. Aug 08 22:32:51 But probably more effort than it's worth Aug 08 22:33:04 and it's not going to be fixed anytime soon, anyway. Aug 08 22:33:41 Do what you think is right anyway Aug 08 22:34:33 bingo, add swap to the internal card, plug usb cable in, try to mount internal card and boom errors all over the place on my desktop end... Aug 08 22:34:48 I need some sort of consensus Aug 08 22:34:50 Lol Aug 08 22:34:57 There wasn't one the last time it came up.
