**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Aug 28 02:59:56 2008 Aug 28 03:08:18 night Aug 28 03:52:13 im outtie ... laterz Aug 28 04:15:18 I can't get _anyone_ to ship me an igo stowaway to south america for a reasonable price =/ Aug 28 04:16:54 :( Aug 28 04:17:51 dunno why everyone on ebay is so us-centric Aug 28 04:18:14 and amazon only ships books & cds down here Aug 28 04:19:17 know anyone in the US? Aug 28 04:19:23 could get it shipped and reshipped <_< Aug 28 04:21:34 maybe, but I'd rather not bother anyone, at least not if I have an option Aug 28 04:50:29 if anyone happens to find a decent price on an igo stowaway with worldwide shipping, please let me know =) Aug 28 04:50:41 in the meanwhile, thumb cramps it is Aug 28 05:11:47 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0019K261G Aug 28 05:11:54 PNY P-SDHC32G4-FS 32GB Aug 28 05:24:18 damn laggers, cluttering up the channel with clones Aug 28 05:25:16 in my day you would get k-lined for even saying the name clone Aug 28 05:27:26 if they found out you were the same person connecting from two different IPs they would smurf you off the net Aug 28 05:28:03 nowdays kids can't even stay connected for two minutes Aug 28 05:28:09 http://jcooney.net/archive/2007/02/01/42999.aspx Aug 28 05:30:12 haha Aug 28 05:33:21 usbnet to NIT with ssh socks proxy is working quite well for me right now Aug 28 05:33:32 * Grackle has no wireless card but is using the NIT for wireless internet Aug 28 05:35:59 usbnet isn't wireless Aug 28 05:36:41 unless you some wireless usb hardware I guess Aug 28 05:37:04 s/you/you have/ Aug 28 05:37:04 Proteous meant: unless you have some wireless usb hardware I guess Aug 28 05:37:46 Proteous, it's not wireless in that my setup involves wires, but I am not connected to the actual router with wires. Aug 28 05:39:08 heh Aug 28 05:41:46 so it's like wireless but with a slight USB teather Aug 28 05:42:38 It's like having a USB wireless adapter that has a cord instead of plugging directly into the port. Aug 28 05:42:47 Adapters like that are not uncommon. Aug 28 05:45:13 Antenna that stands up on your desk Aug 28 05:45:44 although they probably don't call themselves "wireless" Aug 28 05:45:47 Beats trying to get cables across doorways, halls and floors :) Aug 28 05:46:07 They most certainly do, Proteous. Aug 28 05:46:46 hmm I think I finaly get what you azre descibing Aug 28 05:46:51 This is a stupid argument, anyway. It benefits me to be able to connect using a 3 foot USB cord instead of running an ethernet cable from the basement. End of story. Aug 28 05:47:15 no one is arguing Aug 28 05:47:38 Oh, if it's just a misunderstanding.. *finds an image* Aug 28 05:47:41 well, I guess you could be arguing with yourself Aug 28 05:48:11 I get it now, no worries Aug 28 05:48:23 http://www.vdhsoft.be/img_art/19495.jpg like one of these Aug 28 05:48:24 Grackle: That's a setup I've been thinkin about, too, btw. Aug 28 05:48:36 gotta reboot my computer, I'll be right back Aug 28 05:50:48 using a $400 device to replicate the funcionality of a $15 wireless usb dongle is sorta strange Aug 28 05:51:33 probable fun to mess around with but not overly practical Aug 28 05:52:32 although how many usb wireless dongles come with a built in battery backup Aug 28 05:52:46 Using something you already have = $0 in equipment Aug 28 05:54:00 if you don't mind giving up the original porpose of the device while you use it Aug 28 05:56:18 * Grackle back Aug 28 05:56:27 * doc|home front Aug 28 05:56:44 * Grackle top Aug 28 05:57:25 just need to turn the IT into a caching proxy,make use of the extra processing power and attached screen Aug 28 05:57:48 maybe a firewall or something Aug 28 05:58:10 That could be handy. Aug 28 05:58:19 You could talk do Darius Jack... Aug 28 05:58:26 preform man in the middle attacks on yourself Aug 28 05:59:01 Would be fun to make a man in the middle proxy that shows a slideshow of captured images from unencrypted http etc Aug 28 05:59:08 heh Aug 28 06:01:07 XTL, actually reminds me of one of the xscreensavers :) Aug 28 06:01:52 johnx: Sort of like that Aug 28 06:02:34 except getting the pics with ethereal (or some other packet sniffer) instead of random web searches Aug 28 06:02:59 And that access point that turns images upside down Aug 28 06:03:06 ahahaha Aug 28 06:03:13 Or goatses :) Aug 28 06:03:29 turning images upside down wins lots more points for subtlety Aug 28 06:03:39 a 5px blur filter would be nice as well Aug 28 06:03:53 Or modulating the colours Aug 28 06:04:09 ahaha...new Web 3.0...in sepia tone Aug 28 06:04:48 not quite as much fun to prank oneself though Aug 28 06:05:00 No, you need some audience. Aug 28 06:05:19 .. victims Aug 28 06:55:14 morning qwerty12 Aug 28 06:55:25 Hey Stskeeps Aug 28 07:24:09 Can anyone comment if, GSM pricing in USA is essentially more expensive than in Europe? I am thingking here like PDA usage, with reasonable amounts of data only Aug 28 07:25:05 i guess it's all about the data plan Aug 28 07:25:50 So what are the cheapest ones? In Finland the going rate is less than 10 euro for month, for unlimited or large cap plans... Aug 28 07:26:38 I've got an "unlimited" non-tethering plan from AT&T that I tether to anyway for $20/mo Aug 28 07:27:14 Call it $40-$60 a month to tether within the letter of your ToS. Aug 28 07:49:10 http://www.getpeek.com/ Aug 28 07:53:18 that looks kind of interesting Aug 28 07:53:46 but my n810 + bluetooth fone = 1000000x better Aug 28 07:55:17 the hardware is what might be interesting :) Aug 28 08:00:32 ick @ at the ugly keyboard Aug 28 08:02:01 * qwerty12 bets that the device will be "locked" Aug 28 08:02:35 or running windows blowile Aug 28 08:03:22 * qwerty12 doesn't mind winmo, lots of hacking possibilities Aug 28 08:04:32 i went berserk after a week with .NET Compact Framework Aug 28 08:05:01 which led to the worst meeting of my life where it was 2 hours of arguing Aug 28 08:05:13 heh :/ Aug 28 08:05:16 (which ended up with us switching to nokia tablets) Aug 28 08:05:20 (i won) Aug 28 08:05:34 Haha, nice:) Aug 28 08:06:53 * qwerty12 can't decide over xmms2 or mpd :/ Aug 28 08:07:40 Morning, all Aug 28 08:07:57 qwerty12: I'll help you: Pick anything that's not winamp/xmms Aug 28 08:08:17 XTL: mpd it is :D Aug 28 08:08:41 They've caused enough terror and destruction :) Aug 28 08:08:49 It's quite useful actually using Sonata on the desktop to change tracks on my N800 :) Aug 28 08:10:24 * Jaffa grumbles at Thoughtfix for http://tabletblog.com/2008/08/nokia-announces-ntropic-nseries.html Aug 28 08:11:13 heh Aug 28 08:11:25 there is a fair bit of sarcasm in that post though Aug 28 08:11:35 Not that I have a Nokia phone, but it's bad enough the links from planet can't be followed due to feedburner problems Aug 28 08:11:49 "Ntropic Location: GPS assist, allowing N800 users to use their phone's GPS for map software" <-- You can already do that. Aug 28 08:12:22 i think there scaringily would be a market for that product though Aug 28 08:12:22 :P Aug 28 08:12:58 if they give me the gps Aug 28 08:30:54 FYI planet appears to be up... Aug 28 08:30:57 meh, they should port mpd to windows Aug 28 08:31:04 the miracle Aug 28 08:31:31 meh, they should rewrite windows to run mpd Aug 28 08:32:43 Ouch... http://mpd.wikia.com/wiki/Windows_Compatibility Aug 28 08:32:50 oh, it supports esound Aug 28 08:32:52 good enough for me Aug 28 08:33:02 * Stskeeps scaringily has a esound daemon on his media center Aug 28 08:33:24 Esd is the only thing that works for me on the tablet :/ Aug 28 08:33:40 I use libao on the tablet and libao is set to use esd Aug 28 08:33:56 Although it works quite well when using alsa09 on libao.conf Aug 28 08:34:15 There is a windos esound? Aug 28 08:34:56 I think I once wanted to go the other way.. Aug 28 08:35:15 Can't remember the details. Have som win app send audio over the net Aug 28 08:35:54 is there a way to capture tap events on a textview area? and figure out what text is was tapped on? Aug 28 08:36:10 is-- Aug 28 08:37:44 esd is weird and evil Aug 28 08:37:45 XTL: winamp has esd plugin too afaik Aug 28 08:37:50 not documented too Aug 28 08:38:05 RST38h: indeed Aug 28 08:38:32 Of course it is from the E Aug 28 08:39:54 johnx: LXDE is decent on tablet Aug 28 08:41:25 XTL: Is the rest of the E similarly screwed and crufty? Aug 28 08:42:06 RST38h: At least they seem to be huge and heavy Aug 28 08:44:21 * RST38h screams at linsux people: Stop building endless audio servers, m@#$%ckers! Just provide a reliable audio device! Aug 28 08:44:46 Heh, "slapt-get is an APT-like system for Slackware package management. Slapt-get tries to emulate the features of Debian's apt-get as closely as possible." Aug 28 08:45:23 "and bugs"? Aug 28 08:55:47 does it moo? Aug 28 08:57:49 It better Aug 28 09:03:01 each apt-get must moo Aug 28 09:16:38 hello Aug 28 09:16:39 does anyone know the simplest way to work on and compile a program for 2 different targets at the same time. i want to continue writing code for maemo but want it testable and usable on my x86 laptop as well - i dont want to have to checkin/out from each system and use a different editor etc Aug 28 09:17:00 could anyone please point me to Maemo 2.x SDK? the link on maemo.org seems to be broken Aug 28 09:17:26 logout128, 2.x is rather old, is there a specific reason why you are using it Aug 28 09:18:40 lcuk: yes, i still have OS2006 on my N770 Aug 28 09:18:41 Has a 770 I guess. Aug 28 09:19:22 i thought that yould update quite happily to os2007? must be wrong Aug 28 09:19:28 qwerty12: precisely Aug 28 09:19:35 logout128, then i dunno Aug 28 09:20:07 lcuk: os2007 requires swap on card most of the time, sometime freezes without particular reason and is horribly slow on N770 Aug 28 09:21:07 fair enough, i knew there were issues with running 2008 on a 770, from what i understood however 2007 has been recommended to lots of folks, i shall not mention it again :) Aug 28 09:21:23 Which link? Aug 28 09:22:14 GeneralAntilles: http://maemo.org/development/sdks/maemo-2-2--gregale-.html Aug 28 09:22:16 that one Aug 28 09:23:27 http://maemo.org/development/sdks/maemo_2-2-gregale/ Aug 28 09:23:52 link is positively wrong on the dev page Aug 28 09:24:08 lol Aug 28 09:24:11 not cool at all Aug 28 09:24:12 That link is right in the sidebar. Aug 28 09:24:50 but the big fat link in the middle is wrong Aug 28 09:24:56 well, http://maemo.org has no sidebar on the front page. but it has SDK link, which is wrong Aug 28 09:24:58 Meh, fixed now. Aug 28 09:25:18 thanks a lot Aug 28 09:25:25 let's install it Aug 28 09:25:26 Stskeeps: You're right, g_serial is brilliant. I'm gonna add an option for usb_serial in initfs Aug 28 09:25:36 "roll up, roll up, hot SDK action, step inside, come in.........OMG YOU CHEATS ITS A WINDOWS VISTA PRESENTATION!" Aug 28 09:30:50 Stskeeps: What do you think about a g_file_storage mod in initfs that will export mtdblock4 over usb? Aug 28 09:59:53 anybody interested testing boswars from extras-devel? It can install data files (90MB) to mmc, so I would like to hear if it works Aug 28 10:04:37 so lcuk - how 'big' is liqbase? and if you ported it to SDL could you use it from a minimal (non-X) system.... like say initfs? Aug 28 10:04:55 we wanted a gui bootmenu... Aug 28 10:05:42 * qwerty12 was unaware you could use sdl outside x ;). Surely you mean framebuffer? Aug 28 10:06:07 I thought SDL was framebuffer - my mistake Aug 28 10:06:37 Atm, I think it uses framebuffer but is linked to X11 libs Aug 28 10:06:40 * qwerty12 is not lcuk :P Aug 28 10:07:50 sdl really only provides a "surface" to draw on and the surface can be the framebuffer Aug 28 10:08:02 Ah, my bad, sorry. Aug 28 10:08:27 yep - I think I associate SDL with framebuffer - and they are different Aug 28 10:09:01 it currently uses the X11 backend it is therefore possible to create "windowed" apps Aug 28 10:09:53 qwerty12, sdl was designed as cross-platform media library, so it can use pretty much anything Aug 28 10:10:06 including aalib I think :) Aug 28 10:11:09 yacoob: Ah :). I always thought it was X11 after only ever seeing it in X11 apps :). Aug 28 10:12:03 Does anyone know a bit about how g_file_storage works? Aug 28 10:14:46 qwerty12: I do play with it on daily basis. please ask :p Aug 28 10:15:26 keesj: thanks :D, hmm, does it find file systems to "export" over usb automatically or does it have to be specified on a command line? Aug 28 10:17:43 Ah, after reading osso-usb-mass-storage-enable.sh, I get a better idea of how it works :) Aug 28 10:18:07 qwerty12 it can be done two ways Aug 28 10:18:34 during modprobe you can give a number of block devices to export Aug 28 10:18:47 (those can be real devices or simply files) Aug 28 10:19:00 so you can export number of luns Aug 28 10:19:19 Ah, I see, thanks! Aug 28 10:19:23 when the module is already loaded you can use sysfs to change the backing store Aug 28 10:20:12 Yep, great, thanks a lot, that's helped me quite a bit actually. Aug 28 10:22:19 http://www.gelato.unsw.edu.au/lxr/source/drivers/usb/gadget/file_storage.c contains good documentation Aug 28 10:50:25 is there no way to enable bluetooth faster then going to the control center first? Aug 28 10:50:33 qwerty12: sounds interestig Aug 28 10:51:08 Stskeeps: Yeah, I'm working on it now that I understand it better (thanks keesj) Aug 28 10:51:16 eichi: Search for switchonbt Aug 28 10:51:31 Fingers crossed that my mtdblock4 doesn't get corrupted :D Aug 28 11:00:44 [A Aug 28 11:07:17 Ok, my 770 finally turned on after 15 mins in the fridge and three reboots Aug 28 11:08:01 At first, it didn't want to power on unless it was connected to the charger Aug 28 11:08:29 After that it showed white screens after each tap on the screen Aug 28 11:08:37 And it finally worked Aug 28 11:08:55 Binky: you took it swimming? Aug 28 11:09:02 Thank you all for pointing me to the solution Aug 28 11:09:07 Nope.. Aug 28 11:09:49 aquatix, i plugged it to the charger, i came to disconnect it 2 or 3 hours later Aug 28 11:10:01 It was off and won't turn on Aug 28 11:10:16 Until today ^^ Aug 28 11:12:08 Stskeeps: I've got mtdblock4 exported over usb, now I'm trying to make my computer believe it's an mtd device... Aug 28 11:12:35 it shows up only as a block device or? Aug 28 11:12:46 (0 size file) Aug 28 11:13:03 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 80 2008-08-28 12:08 /dev/sdf Aug 28 11:13:23 Yeah, sdf is the only thing I'm getting from dmesg Aug 28 11:13:41 shit Aug 28 11:13:57 I unplugged and replugged the cable and the tablet switched off :/ Aug 28 11:15:44 Stskeeps: Here is my "function" to load g_file_storage etc. http://pastebin.com/d300f3d4 . I'm unsure as to whether I should use mtd4 or mtdblock4 as I am using now Aug 28 11:17:52 qwerty12: i don't have much experience with g_file_storage sorry Aug 28 11:18:33 No problems, I'll mess around and see what I get :) Aug 28 11:23:23 lbt, its not he size its the method (size is about 150kb or so) its the methodology - it expects YUV planes rather than RGB interleaved. of course this is arbitary and could be retargetted at some other point - ive been asked about porting to none Xv systems in the past and thinnk it is possible just not something im aiming towards at this point Aug 28 11:32:55 I have seen a real n800 user in the whild Aug 28 11:33:18 a text writer Aug 28 11:39:18 qwerty12: interesting use of g_serial could be Recovery Applications for *nix/windows Aug 28 11:39:40 a toolset for fixing problems Aug 28 11:40:42 Stskeeps: Yeah, sounds interesting. I'm actually quite liking g_serial more than g_ether because g_ether fails to work for me in Ubuntu and Windows. Aug 28 11:40:52 g_ether is easy in ubuntu Aug 28 11:40:59 modprobe usbnet; ifconfig usb0 inet 192.168.2.1 Aug 28 11:41:03 modprobe usbnet; ifconfig usb0 192.168.2.1 Aug 28 11:41:03 i mean Aug 28 11:41:28 Gentlemen, anybody experienced hangups from the updated version of Modest? Aug 28 11:41:43 Stskeeps: It was working for me once, but I think a kernel upgrade broke it :/ Aug 28 11:41:46 Where it gets stuck in memory, no longer checks for email and does not come up when you click on the Email icon? Aug 28 11:45:45 Stskeeps: Ok, found something odd, I'm modprobing mtdblock and block2mtd etc, /sys/module/block2mtd/parameters/block2mtd contains /dev/sde which is my N800 but as soon as I modprobe jffs2 on the computer, the device quits the mass storage mode from bootmenu and shuts off :/ Aug 28 11:46:28 Morning guys qwerty12 I got your PM thanks Aug 28 11:46:47 morning, sorry about that, my internet got disconnected >.< Aug 28 11:47:13 its cool happens all the time Aug 28 11:47:34 to me atleast Aug 28 11:48:17 :) Aug 28 11:48:36 anyone ever use prisim for the tablet I can't get it to type numbers in it Aug 28 11:50:25 prisim ? Aug 28 11:55:31 crashanddie its that app that gives a website a icon to load it from menu and runs inside its own window with no address bar(unless you want it) Aug 28 11:55:49 ah, mozilla prism ?

Aug 28 15:16:09 <_berto_> http://o-hand.com/ Aug 28 15:16:21 <_berto_> i've just read it Aug 28 15:16:38 djeezus Aug 28 15:16:45 Wow. Aug 28 15:17:34 Well... I guess I'm lucky they didn't hire me then Aug 28 15:18:14 Plus, they have shitty company politics, no ethic whatsoever Aug 28 15:20:40 glibc is a whore Aug 28 15:21:05 Yeah I heard glibc links with just about everything Aug 28 15:21:47 All I've compiled is getty (and this is the busybox version) statically and it's 480KB :D Aug 28 15:22:12 I'd use my uclibc toolchain but the binaries sometimes work with the initfs and sometimes don't :/ Aug 28 15:22:29 :/ Aug 28 15:23:43 I've upx'ed it down and it's gone to 220KB which is still bigger than I'd like but mildly reasonable :) Aug 28 15:29:22 * johnx returns from work... Aug 28 15:35:49 maemo mapper disappoints me Aug 28 15:36:04 large cpu usage, large memory usage, frequent freezes Aug 28 15:36:13 * mgedmin blames sqlite Aug 28 15:36:42 mgedmin: hi, I have one question to you Aug 28 15:37:33 mgedmin: in Lithuania you have one road sign which I do not know... It is warning sign (triangle one) with black dot in center. What it means? Aug 28 15:37:49 mgedmin, there's a patch to switch it from sql for map storage to stitched together jpgs Aug 28 15:37:53 dangerous stretch of road; many accidents here; something like that Aug 28 15:38:25 mgedmin, if you're interested I'll find you a link Aug 28 15:38:40 mgedmin: thx Aug 28 15:39:03 johnx: not really; too much hassle and I somehow doubt it would convert my map caches for me Aug 28 15:39:14 there's a tool to do it Aug 28 15:39:15 I'll just bitch here Aug 28 15:39:18 cu chaps on Sunday probably Aug 28 15:39:27 'night lardman|gone Aug 28 15:39:46 mgedmin, fair enough, but it works a lot better IMHO and there's a nice .deb for it Aug 28 15:40:38 Hello everyone ! Aug 28 15:40:46 hey Khertan_n810 Aug 28 15:40:47 everybody ! Aug 28 15:40:51 :o) Aug 28 15:44:52 there isn t many activity here Aug 28 15:45:11 * johnx shrugs Aug 28 15:45:18 maybe people are sleeping or something Aug 28 15:45:20 Even better, busybox 1.00's static getty compiled against uclibc is 49KB compared to 1.61's which is 69KB compiled against the same Aug 28 15:45:22 I know I should O_o Aug 28 15:45:49 johnx: sleeping at 17h45 :) Aug 28 15:45:54 gmt Aug 28 15:46:20 johnx: what's the time over there? :) Aug 28 15:46:25 oh, I'm lazy Aug 28 15:46:28 I'll google :) Aug 28 15:46:28 0:46 Aug 28 15:46:32 :) Aug 28 15:46:42 wow :/ Aug 28 15:46:51 qwerty12, I live in the future :) Aug 28 15:47:07 hehe :) Aug 28 15:48:29 I can tell you about the future: The trains are crowded and the gas prices are high :P Aug 28 15:49:04 * Khertan_n810 ll have a furious enjoy if he can slap some google developpers ! Aug 28 15:49:23 Lol, gas prices are the same in the past in that case :P Aug 28 15:51:19 Khertan_n810, more fun dealing with their API? Aug 28 15:52:42 wow...why is gas so expensive in the UK? Aug 28 15:53:07 johnx: everything driving related is :/ Aug 28 15:53:38 look in france Aug 28 15:53:49 with 80% tax Aug 28 15:54:01 aaah, taxes I guess Aug 28 15:54:24 qwerty12, car insurance is pretty crazy here (from what I hear) Aug 28 15:54:25 1,52 Euro/L Aug 28 15:54:53 gah...the fun of multiple currency/unit conversions... Aug 28 15:55:23 johnx: heh, but here, you get charged on a lot of stuff :/. toll roads, car tax, they want the congestion charging zone extended etc Aug 28 15:55:58 qwerty12, same here. There's huge tolls to actually get anywhere at all Aug 28 15:56:09 almost makes it cheaper to use the train a lot of the time... Aug 28 15:56:24 johnx: yep ... their api suck ! Aug 28 15:56:42 many 104 error : reset by peer Aug 28 15:56:52 reinit the connection ... Aug 28 15:56:57 Khertan_n810, weak sauce :/ Aug 28 15:57:09 and try to get the next event Aug 28 15:57:30 and the result is that an endless call Aug 28 15:57:42 s/that/that i get Aug 28 15:57:58 and noway to detect it Aug 28 15:58:03 arrgh, I can't get getty to start in the initfs >.<. I'm going to have to boot maemo and check the logs :/ Aug 28 15:59:15 and calling only one event is really really slow Aug 28 15:59:42 * johnx tries to figure out how hildon menus get popped up when matchbox window titles get clicked Aug 28 16:00:16 s/callling/calling details on Aug 28 16:01:09 johnx: look in the hildon-desktop source, there will be similar code there too for the desktop "home" menu Aug 28 16:01:42 hmm...maybe Aug 28 16:01:51 I just had a funny thought though... Aug 28 16:02:13 Well, I just killed matchbox and the menu for the desktop still worked :) Aug 28 16:02:37 huhu just see the joomla hole Aug 28 16:02:49 very nice sql injection Aug 28 16:03:03 just with a quote Aug 28 16:03:32 Khertan_n810: where? what? Aug 28 16:04:14 my goal is to replace matchbox with another wm...but I still want to be able to get windows to open their menu with a title-bar click... Aug 28 16:19:51 heh...the nice, easy hacky way might just be to send "F4" to the app Aug 28 16:19:53 what's the jabber resource priority that telepathy uses? Aug 28 16:20:17 I'm connected to a jabber server on my laptop and on my n810, and incoming messages appear on the n810 instead of the laptop Aug 28 16:20:26 typing answers works better on a laptop Aug 28 16:23:53 <||cw> mgedmin: that should be configurable Aug 28 16:24:00 yes Aug 28 16:24:08 <||cw> default is probably 0 Aug 28 16:24:09 I can configure the priority in gajim Aug 28 16:24:25 are larger numbers better? Aug 28 16:24:33 <||cw> no, less Aug 28 16:24:41 hmm Aug 28 16:24:44 <||cw> IIRC Aug 28 16:24:53 <||cw> been a while since i messed with jabber in that way Aug 28 16:31:41 * qwerty12 reboots to try g_serial in windows Aug 28 16:33:31 johnx: you need implement the XClientMessageEvent atom _MB_GRAB_TRANSFER Aug 28 16:34:06 jott, awesome! hopefully I'll just be able to yank it from matchbox Aug 28 16:34:25 johnx: and look for _NET_WM_CONTEXT_CUSTOM Aug 28 16:35:07 thanks :D Aug 28 16:35:08 (as a wmprotocol atom that can be registered) Aug 28 16:37:03 johnx: which wm do you plan to modify? Aug 28 16:37:13 I don't really know yet Aug 28 16:37:25 I'm looking at tabbed window managers Aug 28 16:39:34 I'd like to keep the applications as is, but I'm not really sold on the hildon-desktop Aug 28 16:40:04 and xfce, lxde, gnome, kde, etc are really wasteful of screen real estate Aug 28 16:40:21 something like ion or dwm? Aug 28 16:40:50 jott, that's the idea Aug 28 16:41:02 :) Aug 28 16:41:04 at this point I'm not really commited to anything Aug 28 16:41:35 johnx: i think dwm/wmii are pretty easy hackable. Aug 28 16:41:42 and do not have much dependencies :) Aug 28 16:42:25 I think I'll do a quick mockup of what I'm thinking Aug 28 16:44:46 hmm Aug 28 16:45:38 johnx: ah right dwm was the one i had in mind of hackability - one c file with ~1800 lines :) Aug 28 16:46:31 jott, cool. I'm looking at screenshots now. it might be what I want (or at least a good thing to test with) Aug 28 17:17:23 GeneralAntilles, what are the odds of Nokia going with an Atom-based system for the Nokia n9xx series ? Aug 28 17:18:12 0 Aug 28 17:18:26 about the same as them putting in atom in their next phone Aug 28 17:19:14 they also contribute omap3 code to the omap linux branch... Aug 28 17:19:51 so you three guys are in fact GA clones? I KNEW IT ! Aug 28 17:19:56 :D Lol Aug 28 17:20:03 anyway, thanks for confirming my thoughts Aug 28 17:20:11 crashanddie, nope. I'm just allowed to speak for him in this case Aug 28 17:20:14 http://www.handcellphone.com/wp-content/uploads/intel-atom_1-3-5-08.jpg Aug 28 17:20:18 atom would make it pretty expensive, no? Aug 28 17:20:32 it was just a thought Aug 28 17:20:35 glass: more pretty big and power hungry :) Aug 28 17:20:40 it's a clever trick, they contribute code to linux omap but are really going to release atom with vista for next tablet Aug 28 17:20:41 glass, and hot, and short of battery life, and bigger Aug 28 17:20:55 jott: well that too, but bigger battery=more expensive and so on Aug 28 17:21:45 have you seen the size of the n okia resaerch labs? it was just a thought: with all the atom mids being announced is it unreasonable to suggest nokia might actually be looking at them themselves Aug 28 17:22:42 well they most likely have some things in their research labs. Aug 28 17:23:00 lcuk, yeah, I'd be willing to say so actually Aug 28 17:23:02 mysterious big underground caverns Aug 28 17:23:06 well no really Aug 28 17:23:22 my last apartment i could see 3 huge nokia signs from Aug 28 17:23:29 The Dark Knight was partially filmed in the Nokia R&D HQ Aug 28 17:23:46 :O batmans alter-ego is quim gil! Aug 28 17:24:13 no Aug 28 17:24:17 ok I got a question for you guys I spend most of my day online but I use 3 to 4 computer throughout the day including work ones but not including my tablet. I hate not having all my files and bookmarks and suck all with me is there an easy to to sync everything between my computer I've used several things but never found anything I like Aug 28 17:24:18 lcuk, There's way too much going for the omap I think, from Nokia's point of view for them to consider something else for a niche, parts bin product line Aug 28 17:24:55 and they showcased omap 3 in dark knight, though i am sure they need to clear some things with FCC :D Aug 28 17:25:00 Quim in Hungarian means sonar, and Gil in Swahili means predator Aug 28 17:25:43 johnx, as i say, it was just a thought :) sparking discussion Aug 28 17:26:05 crashanddie, omg he IS the dark knight Aug 28 17:26:15 lcuk, no offence meant or anything, but I've been involved in this discussion a couple million times on ITT Aug 28 17:26:19 lcuk just wants a windows vista based tablet :D Aug 28 17:26:20 * lcuk makes a mental note to call him Bruce Aug 28 17:26:25 I wrote a short novel on the subject if you're interested :) Aug 28 17:26:42 jott, ewwwww no way would i dev for microsoft not Aug 28 17:26:44 w Aug 28 17:26:50 lol john Aug 28 17:26:59 not now that liqbase works on my laptop Aug 28 17:27:08 well sortof kindof works Aug 28 17:27:20 cloudreader is starting to work pretty decently on my laptop Aug 28 17:27:48 even though having it in 1280x800 makes it hard to have enough tags to find anything to scroll :P Aug 28 17:28:06 just increase the font size :) Aug 28 17:28:11 crashanddie, i needed a second networkable machine to test collaborative whiteboarding and since i dont have another n8x0 yet i had to do something Aug 28 17:28:24 lcuk, understandably Aug 28 17:28:54 jott, on mine i have to decrease the font size - it is currently visible from orbit (TM) :) Aug 28 17:29:35 lcuk: you could test it from your work place ;) Aug 28 17:29:42 lcuk, did you ever encounter a problem when switching to dbus startup ? I have random crashes, not reproducible from the console Aug 28 17:29:42 :D heh i can Aug 28 17:29:50 (i gathered you can see your screen at home more or less from there :) Aug 28 17:29:54 dbus startup? Aug 28 17:30:00 lcuk, via the menu Aug 28 17:30:06 jott, VNC has that effect Aug 28 17:30:07 what do you mean Aug 28 17:30:18 lcuk, adding a shortcut in the maemo menu Aug 28 17:30:40 crashanddie: nah, vnc is pathetic :/ Aug 28 17:30:41 no, i have a liqbase_run.sh script which is called by the menu item Aug 28 17:30:52 that calls sudo liqbase :) Aug 28 17:30:58 from the right folder Aug 28 17:31:02 crashanddie: 15 seconds crashes with dbus usually means it's not initalized right Aug 28 17:31:13 qwerty12_N800, ah ? Aug 28 17:31:24 qwerty12_N800, I'm going to have to eat your brain though, one of these days, you know too much Aug 28 17:31:36 qwerty12_N800, linky link ? Aug 28 17:31:41 qwerty12_N800, IS the IBM linux kid Aug 28 17:31:56 actually, no he isnt - the kid from linuxtag bowels is Aug 28 17:32:07 jott, do you remember seeing him around Aug 28 17:32:28 crashanddie: are the service names correct, are you calling osso_initalize etc ( i think), i'm not hot on dbus myself Aug 28 17:32:35 translation for northerners: "the ki' fro' lynuxteeg bols is" Aug 28 17:32:36 lcuk hmm there where some kids playing with lego :P Aug 28 17:32:45 crashanddie: lol Aug 28 17:32:50 lego robots and stuff yer Aug 28 17:32:58 qwerty12_N800, none of those Aug 28 17:33:23 qwerty12_N800, well, service names are correct, obviously, but osso_initialise can go fuck itself :P Aug 28 17:33:52 I'll look into it, thanks for the hint Q Aug 28 17:33:53 OMG Aug 28 17:33:56 crashanddie: heh, let me search that reference pdf Aug 28 17:33:58 qwerty12 IS Q Aug 28 17:34:35 yep, my favourite weapon is a British qwerty keyboard Aug 28 17:37:08 any idea how i use the same code to build for x86 and maemo at the same time? Aug 28 17:37:32 * qwerty12_N800 searches for my 1/2 assed rott port, that uses dbus w/out osso_initalize thanks to solmumaha Aug 28 17:37:40 lcuk, that's the problem scratchbox was invented to solve Aug 28 17:37:46 I bet you didn't want to hear that... Aug 28 17:39:18 no johnx - i want 2 binaries out of the same source so i can run on both Aug 28 17:39:31 i think i need to sync however - the .o files and binaries will conflict Aug 28 17:39:46 lcuk: just build out of source then... Aug 28 17:39:52 lcuk, right, you need to do the equiv of "make clean" first Aug 28 17:40:12 rm *.o *.so liqbase-bin Aug 28 17:40:33 johnx, ill just decide on a primary source editing location, then to build sync it to the x86 and run build on both machines Aug 28 17:40:50 on the maemo side it takes too long to run that each time ;) Aug 28 17:41:13 lcuk, fair enough, but in scratchbox you don't need to move the source around, just build once, switch targets, and build again Aug 28 17:41:21 lcuk: you could also use symlinks/hard and or mount your remote directory .. Aug 28 17:41:40 jott, yes i have sshfs or whatever it is called available Aug 28 17:42:49 * lcuk is still pleased as punch it works on both sides Aug 28 17:43:35 lcuk: as always your problem has a vast amount of solutions :) Aug 28 17:43:49 yer Aug 28 17:43:56 im gettin used to that now, and its not a bad thing Aug 28 17:44:34 ahhh jott, one more question - alpha blending, currently i am blending the entire image - do you normally expect to use it with a full alpha channel (ie from a png) Aug 28 17:44:52 or for now is arbitary blend0..255 option enough Aug 28 17:45:08 well normally you have an alpha channel. Aug 28 17:45:44 so i need a create alpha from image (for jpegs etc) and give it a mask color Aug 28 17:46:00 obviously pngs have a full channel Aug 28 17:46:39 * lcuk wonders how to do alpha channels with 2 different sized images Aug 28 17:48:38 http://o-hand.com/ oh it's intel now. Aug 28 17:48:50 hence the question earlier.. Aug 28 17:50:01 lcuk: well i expect an image to have an alpha channel, the blending operation has a constant value. Aug 28 17:50:28 i wonder how nokia thinks about the aquistion... Aug 28 17:51:15 yes, its a combine of the pixelperhaps certain staff members wishift back under the nokia umbrella, or nokia themselves dont care Aug 28 17:51:31 shit - wasnt finished answerin the blend q Aug 28 17:51:45 haha answer mesh up :D Aug 28 17:52:38 grrr...fluxbox really doesn't behave well with only one "mouse button" Aug 28 17:53:50 yes, its a combine of the specified blend with the actual pixel blend attempting to be blitted Aug 28 17:58:34 johnx, well, it was designed as a two buttoned environment Aug 28 17:59:03 yeah, I know. but some things "degrade" more gracefully from 2 or 3 buttons to 1 Aug 28 17:59:27 without two buttons theres no way to close desktop menus for example... Aug 28 17:59:38 yup Aug 28 17:59:55 Or play Sam & Max Aug 28 18:00:07 * johnx auditions more WMs Aug 28 18:07:17 ok jott, ive transformed the algo to include a "fake" alpha channel (just the regular data channel) and it appears to work still, ill thread that in the code and when i have an alpha channel available i will make use of it - otherwise i will use the standard simple blend Aug 28 18:21:17 crashanddie, less than zero Aug 28 18:46:12 RogerS with yet another lackluster overly dramatic blog post. Aug 28 18:46:51 but hey, on the other hand, the thread on UI discussions is terrifyingly civil Aug 28 18:47:04 like people got tired of constantly flaming Aug 28 18:47:37 I don't get the stylus-only approach. Aug 28 18:48:05 it's the people who started on Palms Aug 28 18:48:14 or winMo devices or whatever Aug 28 18:48:30 or who value the precision... Aug 28 18:49:16 BTW, johnx, you mentioned a maemo-mapper db patch earlier Aug 28 18:49:16 but that's more like the stylus-sometimes, thumbs for quick tasks group Aug 28 18:49:25 precision when you need it, etc Aug 28 18:49:37 oh, OK, yes, mixed stylus and occasional fingers Aug 28 18:49:53 I need to make my shopper more finger friendly :) Aug 28 18:50:08 (finger scrolling in gtk would be a nice start!) Aug 28 18:50:24 lbt, http://code.google.com/p/mmpcmapper/ Aug 28 18:50:48 ta Aug 28 18:51:37 sure, it seems to work rather well, but it's not updated to track the very latest maemo mapper releases Aug 28 18:51:43 it's only up to 2.3 IIRC Aug 28 18:51:50 This project is to develop a collection of **Windows** PC software Aug 28 18:52:07 is it? Aug 28 18:52:09 just windows stuff I mean? Aug 28 18:52:11 don't pay attention to that part :) Aug 28 18:52:43 nah, it's some windows tools and the modified maemo mapper binaries Aug 28 18:52:48 (and a patch I think) Aug 28 18:52:57 johnx: that would be good combined with shuma's patch to draw maps faster or something like that Aug 28 18:53:07 yes, OK, it takes some reading... :) Aug 28 18:53:20 qwerty12_N800, I didn't even know about that Aug 28 18:53:39 lbt, yeah, it looks like it's updated kind of randomly, a bit at a time Aug 28 18:54:34 johnx: yeah, he made a mod of mm that can overlay google traffic amd i'm pretty sure he speeded up drawing... let me bring it up Aug 28 18:54:49 qwerty12_N800, ah, I saw that part Aug 28 18:55:07 yeah, that would be neat, but without a GPS I don't use maemo mapper all that much :/ Aug 28 18:55:34 * qwerty12_N800 should merge these 2 forks together Aug 28 18:56:37 johnx: I got a cheapo BT GPS logger as suggested by GA - kinda interesting... Aug 28 18:56:56 yeah, I need to get one soon Aug 28 18:57:16 Cheapo BT GPS = <3 Aug 28 18:57:32 a *good* bt gps and a persistent data connection are on my "really want list" Aug 28 18:57:40 I started on a Newton Aug 28 18:57:44 and I still don't understand. :P Aug 28 18:57:58 GeneralAntilles, you obviously don't have problems coping with change Aug 28 18:58:02 Ha Aug 28 18:58:12 no, he still uses his newton Aug 28 18:58:20 GeneralAntilles, right, that's the point I was getting at... Aug 28 18:58:20 johnx, there's hardly a difference between a cheap GPS and a good GPS these days. Aug 28 18:58:51 yeah, I guess I should just find someplace that ships internationally and pull the trigger then... Aug 28 18:58:54 johnx: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/i-Blue-747-Bluetooth-GPS-Data-Logger-51-Ch-Navigation_W0QQitemZ160276831078QQ Aug 28 18:59:03 GeneralAntilles: tell that the nokia engineers :P Aug 28 18:59:23 i got that gps unit, quick to lock on Aug 28 18:59:25 Well, OK, s/GPS/Bluetooth GPS/ Aug 28 18:59:26 theres nothing wrong with the chip, its the antenna thats the problem Aug 28 18:59:37 The chip sucks too Aug 28 18:59:40 lcuk, no, there's something wrong with the chip :) Aug 28 18:59:48 It's an AGPS dependent piece of junk. :P Aug 28 18:59:56 err, not that unit. my bad Aug 28 18:59:56 winmodem :D Aug 28 18:59:57 yes, and it logs data, and there is unix support Aug 28 19:00:00 and it's the bottom of the barrel in that category too Aug 28 19:00:25 lbt, I'll probably just get a normal BT GPS...I don't think I have much use for data logging Aug 28 19:00:58 almost the same price - and it means you get GPS data without needing the tablet. Aug 28 19:01:12 the tablets always on me though Aug 28 19:01:14 anybody know how to implement inertial effect on scrooling a graphic at a gtk.DrawingArea? Aug 28 19:01:20 not when I'm skiing Aug 28 19:01:34 I can't carry my tablet when you ski? Aug 28 19:01:45 Aug 28 19:01:47 :P Aug 28 19:01:59 and I want to save what routes I've done... 'cos I never read the trail maps... Aug 28 19:02:16 lbt, hey :) Aug 28 19:02:21 hi moontiger Aug 28 19:02:23 whatever I can get shipped for the cheapest will likely determine what I buy... Aug 28 19:02:39 lbt, do u have an email i can send you some thoughts on the shopper app? Aug 28 19:03:22 there you go Aug 28 19:03:35 johnx, just make sure it's MTK Aug 28 19:04:14 I'm adding the help and then I think I'll push it to extras as a first public release (barring any bugs/tweaks of course) Aug 28 19:04:21 so MTK is what the cool kids have now? Aug 28 19:04:51 yea that chipset is good Aug 28 19:04:54 I did a fair amount of research and the i-Blue range came up a lot as a good buy Aug 28 19:05:35 I think they use the mtk chipset... yes Aug 28 19:06:01 you can leave it in the glove compartment in a car and still lock on Aug 28 19:06:56 and it works with heated front screens too :) Aug 28 19:07:05 in case you need that ;) Aug 28 19:09:22 is there only one "mtk" chipset? or all they all equally good? Aug 28 19:09:48 MTK and MTK+ Aug 28 19:09:54 There's not a huge difference, though. Aug 28 19:10:10 guh, $30 shipping on a $43 gps... Aug 28 19:10:12 I'd just get the regular old i-Blue 737 and be done with it. Aug 28 19:10:18 Can't buy locally? Aug 28 19:10:41 I really haven't seen many (any?) locally Aug 28 19:10:54 it's all complete GPS/mobile tv receivers Aug 28 19:11:35 plus, everyone's cell phone has gps and everyone's car, too Aug 28 19:11:38 danielvaz, kinetic scrolling is essentially holding the latest mouse delta then for every frame whilst you still have a delta you adjust the offset (and decrease the delta by a fraction) Aug 28 19:12:05 (fraction is based on time since last position update Aug 28 19:12:40 thanks lcuk :) Aug 28 19:14:01 i use a sirf3 based navibe and it rocks Aug 28 19:14:04 delta=(lastmouse.y-mouse.y); pos+=delta; render(); then once per frame: if(delta) { pos+=delta--; render(); } Aug 28 19:15:06 MTK is cheaper, more efficient and more agile than SiRF III Aug 28 19:16:08 I've been out of the GPS game for so long I don't even know the features. this ebay ad talks about "sensibility" and 'every low electricity cost' in addition to a 'humanized design' Aug 28 19:17:56 Clearly you should buy that one ASAP. :P Aug 28 19:18:22 heh...it also has free shipping... Aug 28 19:19:12 lbt, this made me think of you http://www.phun.org/newspics/funny_friday/3019.jpg Aug 28 19:19:33 cool - a logo :) Aug 28 19:20:11 heh Aug 28 19:39:29 i heard that MTK isnt as good for walking and other slow speeds Aug 28 19:41:37 Eh, I don't have any trouble there Aug 28 19:41:42 and I do a lot of slow tracking Aug 28 19:41:56 Either way, the power consumption is SIGNIFICANTLY better than SiRF III Aug 28 19:43:05 I'll grab an i-blue 737 as soon as I can find one with *reasonable* shipping costs Aug 28 19:43:23 there has to be one locally... Aug 28 19:44:03 hmmmmm ok ... mine works great for me so i guess in practical terms its all the same Aug 28 19:44:04 :) Aug 28 19:44:18 johnx, the 737 is for the track history stuff yes? Aug 28 19:44:34 er, I think that was the 747 Aug 28 19:44:49 yep, 747 has a logger Aug 28 19:44:52 if I need to keep a track, I'll just pair it to the tablet Aug 28 19:48:49 right Aug 28 19:49:02 i was going to say also that the logger stuff was apparently crap anyways :) Aug 28 19:50:27 it's not :) Aug 28 19:50:54 it works really well actually - I can download it to Viking Aug 28 19:51:29 Why crap? Aug 28 19:51:41 It just stores a track to its internal memory that you can dump to a computer. Aug 28 19:51:56 Simple, sure, but what more would you want? Aug 28 19:52:46 oh, and you can press the button on the device to basically say 'mark' Aug 28 19:53:54 thanks for all the advice guys. I'm off to bed Aug 28 19:56:29 nini johnx Aug 28 20:08:14 * Stskeeps stretches Aug 28 20:36:53 i read a big review of it and apparently the data gets lost easily and has a windows app to actually get the data from the device Aug 28 20:37:02 maybe they improved it in the last year Aug 28 20:39:38 i did a bunch of research before buying the one i have and since it "just works" (tm) i didnt keep up with newer stuff Aug 28 20:44:32 NSP2 compiled for Maemo 4.1, not hildonized .... Aug 28 20:44:32 http://maemo.vivaphp.net/pool/nsp2-cvs_20080828_armel.deb Aug 28 20:45:54 Anunakin: what's NSP2? Aug 28 20:53:40 jott: A matlab like software http://cermics.enpc.fr/~jpc/nsp-tiddly/mine.html Aug 28 20:53:55 jott: but it not using same syntax... Aug 28 20:54:25 NSP2 is the new name of scilabGTK Aug 28 20:59:55 moontiger: the reason I bought the iBlue 747 is the availability of opensource linux connectivity/drivers : http://bt747.wiki.sourceforge.net/ Aug 28 21:00:21 ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh awesome .... maybe i should get one too :) Aug 28 21:00:42 anyone here got any clues on the future of the tablet os, now when nookia bought trolltech, and seem to push QT aswell ? will they push a gtk+ and qt in some mixed setup ? Aug 28 21:01:03 it looks like it Aug 28 21:01:11 im a bit worried of having to waste my precious ram on yet another gu library Aug 28 21:01:26 ah well Aug 28 21:02:01 as gtk+ and the current tabletos seems to be based on several of the gnome support libs Aug 28 21:02:09 whereas qt rolls their own stuff, in many cases Aug 28 21:02:35 it'll probably have an effect Aug 28 21:03:01 whether it'll be measurable/apparent/significant probably depends on your use Aug 28 21:03:12 yeah Aug 28 21:03:16 still Aug 28 21:03:26 if you just want something to worry about then go right ahead :) Aug 28 21:03:52 =D Aug 28 21:04:20 im mor worried about the ram useage in current tabletos, especialy the web browser =D Aug 28 21:06:32 s/tablet os/Maemo/g Aug 28 21:06:58 The browser will get significantly lighter when it's merged with FF trunk. Aug 28 21:16:04 * qwerty12_N800 likes messing with /sys/class/leds/keypad/brightness :-) Aug 28 21:25:59 BULLE, I don't believe they're stupid enough to allow people to load the GTK env libs at the same as the Qt libs. It's like running Kwrite on gnome, a bit stupid Aug 28 21:26:28 BULLE, well, maybe people will be stupid enough to do it, but I think they know enough as to force such a mistake on the end users Aug 28 21:26:31 * qwerty12_N800 uses khexedit in gnome :> Aug 28 21:26:52 qwerty12_N800, yeah, but you're young and unwise Aug 28 21:27:13 qwerty12_N800, btw, the room cleaning job for £5 pw still standing? Aug 28 21:27:27 crashanddie: nah, just that i know gtk hex editors suck Aug 28 21:27:35 crashanddie: what job? :p Aug 28 21:27:49 yeah said you'd give me a fiver if I cleansed your room :P Aug 28 21:28:34 i lied :p. mum made me clean it out myself... Aug 28 21:28:41 dammit Aug 29 00:12:21 would it be possible to have 2 separate volume statuses: headphones plugged in, and no headphones Aug 29 00:12:21 ? Aug 29 00:12:50 as in, is there a way I can easily add a hook for that event somewhere? Aug 29 00:13:59 There's a dbus event for it I'm sure Aug 29 00:14:03 I dunno where it's documented, though. Aug 29 00:29:11 GeneralAntilles: any idea where I can start looking? Aug 29 00:33:57 Probably documented in the docs on maemo.org Aug 29 00:34:06 gregorovius: watch /sys/devices/platform/gpio-switch/headphone/state Aug 29 00:35:52 GeneralAntilles: maybe a nice addition to abl.. Aug 29 00:36:53 jott, add cpefreq tweaks and an option to disconnect network if you change to battery ;) Aug 29 00:37:08 lcuk: na that's a job for liqbase :P Aug 29 00:37:21 liqbase would have to be running 247 Aug 29 00:37:28 not that i object you understand :) Aug 29 00:37:49 i suppose it's running 24/7 on your tablet anyway :) Aug 29 00:38:17 well its useful having a big clock on display :) Aug 29 00:38:36 hehe that's what my old ipaq is for :) Aug 29 00:38:38 im actually pondering computer control Aug 29 00:38:53 run it in silent no window mode and talk to my little 810 Aug 29 00:39:34 i found out last night by the way - the thing ive lost since diablo is my tv remote program Aug 29 00:39:59 it was the first thing i coded for maemo and it talks to a vb server on my desktop and sends keys to control mplayer ;) Aug 29 00:40:13 lcuk: I just tried liqbase playtest, looks really promising Aug 29 00:40:21 glad to see apps like that popping up Aug 29 00:40:28 so am i Aug 29 00:40:42 =) Aug 29 00:41:04 lcuk: you should make a google maps plugin :) Aug 29 00:41:38 Yeah, jott, that's a reasonable feature request. Aug 29 00:41:39 osm is being actively considered, im talking to someone whos thinking of using it to talk Aug 29 00:41:51 Nice if we could also get the extra 7 steps of volume, too. :( Aug 29 00:42:21 i think in the coming weeks i will feel comfortable with the apis to be building quite complex things :) Aug 29 00:42:23 killall multimediad :p Aug 29 00:43:31 jott: thanks, that seems to work... now, do I have to poll it every X seconds or is there some file monitor facility on os2008? Aug 29 00:43:43 media scanners should be visible apps with progress Aug 29 00:43:47 and be stoppable Aug 29 00:45:07 gregorovius: depends on the framework.. there is inotify and g_io_add_watch for example. Aug 29 00:46:39 jott, there should be a dbus event for things like this Aug 29 00:46:57 should or is? ... Aug 29 00:48:02 otoh g_io_add_watch, QFileMonitor, inotify, etc.. are fine too... Aug 29 00:48:37 im just reading acmonitor and finding out what it listens for Aug 29 00:48:42 it cant be far of the mark Aug 29 00:51:09 kagu seems to use /sys/devices/platform/gpio-switch/headphone/state and gobject.io_add_watch Aug 29 00:51:33 ah you use python? Aug 29 00:52:13 I haven't used anything yet, I mostly do bash scripting and I've only recently ventured into python Aug 29 00:52:19 could be a good first project Aug 29 00:55:08 python does not sound like the best choice for such a task ... Aug 29 00:55:46 jott, what you fancy a rewrite in mono? Aug 29 00:56:15 why not? :) Aug 29 00:56:33 how stable is that now, do we know? Aug 29 00:56:44 hmm on the tablets? never tried... Aug 29 00:57:08 i quite like the syntax of vb.net, but don't like the microsoft classes Aug 29 01:03:17 lcuk: you could use gambas :), not sure if gtk# can be used with the mono vb.net... Aug 29 01:03:46 might be nice to make a liqbase branch :) Aug 29 01:04:08 though i was reading up last night, integrating python is simple Aug 29 01:04:38 * lcuk remembers adding vbscript plugin support to eyespy Aug 29 01:06:11 jott: what would you use for that? Aug 29 01:06:51 something small and lightweight Aug 29 01:07:00 anyway, gnite folks Aug 29 01:11:44 good nite lcuk. Aug 29 01:12:06 gregorovius_: plain c sounds reasonable for such a task.. Aug 29 01:12:26 out of my league Aug 29 01:15:28 well then use what you are best at :) Aug 29 01:53:35 In 4.1 Diablo, what repo is Maemo Mapper in? Aug 29 01:57:27 Chinook Extras Aug 29 01:57:30 gnuite's roadtripping Aug 29 01:57:43 It hasn't yet been pushed through the autobuilder for Diablo Extras. Aug 29 01:57:47 gnuite? Aug 29 01:57:49 aw :( Aug 29 01:58:29 The author Aug 29 01:59:09 What's the location to the chinook extras? Aug 29 01:59:54 Just duplicate the existing maemo Extras catalog Aug 29 02:00:18 and add 'chinook' to the distribution field of the new duplicate repository. Aug 29 02:01:19 sweet, thanks Aug 29 02:07:50 Khertan_n810, are you here? Aug 29 02:09:06 hey Aug 29 02:22:56 * moontiger sighs Aug 29 02:45:16 . **** ENDING LOGGING AT Fri Aug 29 02:59:58 2008
