**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Nov 11 02:59:57 2008 Nov 11 04:41:32 hi Nov 11 05:01:04 hello - I have been away from this for a couple of months, forgive my dense questions.. I want to do a demo tomorrow with an http server of sone kind.. lighthttpd ? Nov 11 05:02:51 lighthttpd is good Nov 11 05:02:59 are you just serving static web pages? Nov 11 05:04:44 hmm, I have some dojo toolkit pages Nov 11 05:04:49 so its 'ajax' Nov 11 05:05:02 they are not php, if thats what you are asking Nov 11 05:05:30 I'm trying to remember how this works.. looking for my OS version Nov 11 05:05:39 its fairly recently updated Nov 11 05:05:43 I am logged in as root Nov 11 05:05:56 I have some python scripts .. thats already installed and runninng Nov 11 05:06:14 the web pages call them on the python http server, on a seperate port Nov 11 05:10:15 I think apache2 and nginx are available as well if that doesn't end up working for you, but I've got to head out for now Nov 11 05:10:17 good luck Nov 11 05:10:24 johnx: I dont think I see a lighthttpd in the app mgr list on the N800.. which repo do I go it? Nov 11 05:11:13 .. to find it? Nov 11 05:13:15 Nokia-N800-23-14 Nov 11 05:14:03 http://www.internettablettalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=23840&highlight=lighttpd&page=2 Nov 11 05:14:19 looking, thx Nov 11 05:16:13 I use sqlite3 from python, btw Nov 11 05:16:19 to do this work Nov 11 05:20:47 johnx: geez, that was easy.. it worked Nov 11 05:20:57 php there, even though I dont need it Nov 11 05:21:06 now to figure out where everything landed Nov 11 05:21:20 dpkg -L packagename Nov 11 05:21:41 glad it worked :) Nov 11 05:21:45 * johnx heads out the door Nov 11 05:22:20 :-) Nov 11 05:22:49 thank you Nov 11 07:19:58 hi, is it possible to install multiple packages (that do not have dependencies to each other) with single .install file on maemo 4.x? Nov 11 08:09:32 morning. Nov 11 08:12:07 moo, XFade Nov 11 08:37:43 Wait, can you upgrade the internal storage on the N810? Nov 11 08:39:55 Sargun: not that i'm aware Nov 11 08:40:09 maybe with some soldering Nov 11 08:40:30 No, forget about that. Nov 11 08:41:00 Unless you are good at bga unsoldering and want to remove your cpu ;) Nov 11 08:42:35 Because nobody said anything, I guess that nobody knows answer to my question? :) Nov 11 08:43:15 Sage, I don't think so. Nov 11 08:43:28 I think you need to create a meta package for that. Nov 11 08:43:47 heh... Nov 11 08:44:39 so I heard on ITT that some people have some sort of real time traffic for way finder map Nov 11 08:44:43 So there is no ways to have single file install for multiple packages located in different repos. Nov 11 08:44:47 I purchased a wayfinder license Nov 11 08:44:54 how do I get real time traffic working? Nov 11 08:45:28 Sage: No. But multiple packages in different repos is about the worst thing you can have. Nov 11 08:47:38 As that sets you up for dependency hell. Nov 11 08:56:12 Is it possible to create a meta package, e.g., meta.deb what installs also dependencies from repositories when installed? Or does that meta.deb also have to be in some repository? Nov 11 08:58:19 Sage: Or you just upload all your packages to Extras and have non of these issues? Nov 11 08:59:16 Sage, yes, the meta package must be in a repository Nov 11 09:02:13 So it is as hard as I though :) Nov 11 09:02:25 thx, for the informations. Nov 11 09:03:44 Sage, just put the package in a/the repository Nov 11 10:50:59 M-R team?: does xorg packages in http://trac.tspre.org/m-r/incoming/ work. Touchscreen? Nov 11 10:56:20 hi, all Nov 11 10:56:28 hi Nov 11 10:56:54 I'm trying to install gst-plugins-bad in scratchbox. Nov 11 10:57:04 I met a problem Nov 11 10:59:47 I installed swfdec lib, but gst-plugins-bad's configure seems to be unaware of the installed swfdec lib. When configure finish, the plugins' list of will not be built always includes swfdec. Nov 11 11:01:40 the same with timidity, but different with wildmidi. When I installed wildmidi lib, it will be move to the list of 'will be built'. Nov 11 11:09:00 Morning, all Nov 11 11:10:20 good evening ;) **** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Nov 11 11:48:39 2008 Nov 11 11:55:26 Meizirkki_n810, those should work, yes Nov 11 12:05:12 Meizirkki_n810: go for the ones johnx has Nov 11 12:05:17 i think Nov 11 12:05:43 Stskeeps, I didn't even see those ones built for m-r when I built mine Nov 11 12:05:52 I'm sure mine aren't any better and possibly worse Nov 11 12:06:43 k Nov 11 12:07:02 well yours definately work;) Nov 11 12:07:12 A survey has shown that almost half of Brits haven't got a clue how to use the possessive apostrophe correctly, with the most common lapse being the inability to "punctuate a possessive plural" Nov 11 12:07:14 Hehe Nov 11 12:32:31 Stskeeps, random thought about osso-gnomevfs and "Provides: " Nov 11 12:35:49 trying to find out if "Provides: foo" provides a specific version or just foo in general Nov 11 12:35:57 RST38h, where's this survey result page. it sounds' like fun Nov 11 12:37:03 johmx, thats a good question Nov 11 12:37:14 Stskeeps, how much faster is beagle vs n8x0? Nov 11 12:37:18 yeah, looks like provides: doesn't provide a specific version Nov 11 12:37:39 omap3 vs omap2, 600mhz i think Nov 11 12:38:26 i dont mean mhz, i mean usable speed differences - if it feasible to run office etc natively without a 5 minute startup time and stuff Nov 11 12:38:43 lcuk, no clue Nov 11 12:39:00 didnt get a screen on it yet Nov 11 12:39:12 ahhhh Nov 11 12:39:48 so the other question about osso-gnomevfs2 is: Is it really a drop in replacement for the real gnomevfs? Nov 11 12:40:10 it does provide it Nov 11 12:40:42 and its based upon afaik Nov 11 12:41:27 and has soname libgnomevfs Nov 11 12:41:55 so we'll assume it's a drop in replacement unless something fails :) Nov 11 12:41:58 maybe a package rename is in order Nov 11 12:42:20 so logic starts working again Nov 11 12:42:47 yeah, that's pretty icky, but I guess it's the same situation as gtk :/ Nov 11 12:44:11 think we should ask sui, he might have a better solution Nov 11 12:44:50 we also might want to ask Nokia. osso-gnomevfs is a little old. they probably are planning to up to at least the current version for fremantle Nov 11 12:45:13 that too Nov 11 12:47:45 lcuk: No idea, but I guess the rule of thumb is to check the BBC =) Nov 11 12:50:21 johnx, guess we can leave the problem for now and continue towards hildon Nov 11 12:50:58 since we.have it microdocumented we can return to it Nov 11 12:51:20 fair enough. any suggestion for a compile to start before I head off to bed? Nov 11 12:51:31 It's requests hour :) Nov 11 12:52:27 could you compile me a list of open access bank account numbers with passwords? Nov 11 12:52:30 fix g_gnuc_function in gtkhtml to g_strfunc and compile i guess Nov 11 12:52:45 matter of search and replace Nov 11 12:52:47 RST38h, the bbc is not better Nov 11 12:53:10 think I'll manage :) Nov 11 12:53:16 im in classes and work the next 8 hours so Nov 11 13:18:09 lcuk: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/11/11/apostrophe_abuse/ Nov 11 13:18:46 * RST38h doesn't get it by the way. Why is it so hard for native speakers? Nov 11 13:21:28 buongiorno a tutti Nov 11 13:22:20 anyone tried synergy on the n810? Nov 11 13:24:19 Johnx: You got Xorg working? Do i have to mess with xorg.conf or orher files? Nov 11 13:24:43 nope, just download the xorg.conf from http://trac.tspre.org/johnx/packages/x11/xorg.conf Nov 11 13:25:04 you need to run ts_calibrate before that though Nov 11 13:26:01 can i copy pointercal from maemo? Nov 11 13:26:09 errr...maybe? Nov 11 13:26:17 yeah, should work Nov 11 13:26:30 ok, thanks :) Nov 11 13:27:59 and the ln -s fb0 fb Nov 11 13:28:21 * johnx <3 distcc Nov 11 13:28:47 yep Nov 11 13:29:51 heh...everyone is is using their tablet. I'm just compiling on mine :) Nov 11 13:34:09 i have compiled once Nov 11 13:34:13 with my tablet Nov 11 13:34:45 we should make omapfb use /dev/fb0 instead of /dev/fb Nov 11 13:34:45 i compiled svn version of tablet-hw-n8x0-nonfree Nov 11 13:35:05 hehe. and its just a script Nov 11 13:35:31 yep, and my compilation did not work ;J Nov 11 13:35:57 no access to nokia files Nov 11 13:36:09 mm Nov 11 13:36:13 when i just force-arch it, it works Nov 11 13:37:02 it looks like xorg needs at least xfonts-base Nov 11 13:37:10 yeah Nov 11 13:39:14 but it is not dependanchy Nov 11 13:39:23 need to install manually Nov 11 13:39:54 anyway, now i finally got working ubuntu Nov 11 13:40:01 no more segmentation faults Nov 11 13:40:07 =) Nov 11 13:41:32 yay Nov 11 13:44:14 if i install gdm does it start automatically when xorg starts Nov 11 13:45:15 or when i run startx? Nov 11 13:48:00 it will run when you do: /etc/init.d/gdm start Nov 11 13:48:45 on debian that's done automagically Nov 11 13:49:15 does that start xorg too? Nov 11 13:50:23 Meizirkki_n810, yes Nov 11 13:50:31 thanks Nov 11 13:55:29 gtkhtml wants gnomeui... Nov 11 14:01:27 eh. Nov 11 14:01:55 gtkhtml from trunk says especially that it does not have gnome dependancies Nov 11 14:02:04 yeah, I'll try --without Nov 11 14:02:16 after all it's exactly the same gtkhtml as in diablo Nov 11 14:05:59 gtkhtml SHOULD NOT require gnome UI Nov 11 14:06:22 it's a widget after all Nov 11 14:06:30 johnx: where on earth does it want it? Nov 11 14:06:59 in source? Nov 11 14:07:01 it's configure script wants it, I'll try --without-gnomeui in a second, but I'm fighting with glade ATM Nov 11 14:07:43 k Nov 11 14:11:02 weird though, didn't get that part Nov 11 14:16:24 heh, i discovered something funny about iphones today.. people use the shiny backside to use as mirror instead Nov 11 14:16:27 :P Nov 11 14:16:45 glade wins round one.

Nov 11 16:04:55 GAN800: sqrt(edits > 50 chars) Nov 11 16:05:53 we should have a line count from irc counting in karma too Nov 11 16:05:53 X-Fade: btw, just looking at the URL reminded me: I keep thinking there should be a "by total" in the sort list Nov 11 16:06:01 i'd definately be a karma whore then Nov 11 16:06:21 Stskeeps: it's been discussed. I'm in favour of it, but I dunno if anyone's working on it. Nov 11 16:06:39 Jaffa: Which point to /profile/list/ ? Nov 11 16:06:42 yeah, but difficult to use for anything really Nov 11 16:07:01 Stskeeps: you're always a karma whore Nov 11 16:07:22 X-Fade: correct Nov 11 16:07:37 X-Fade: you can do it from the breadcrumb trail, but I always double-take Nov 11 16:08:00 Yeah, let's see if I can do that. Nov 11 16:08:24 It currenly uses a list of plugins. But the total list is no plugin. So.. Nov 11 16:08:29 w00t_: you mean you've always been Nov 11 16:08:31 Some hacking is probably needed.. Nov 11 16:18:35 GAN800: do you get absolutely spammed by my reconstructedPOC stuff? not sure how much other people see Nov 11 16:23:08 On Jaiku you mean? Nov 11 16:23:10 No Nov 11 16:23:28 good Nov 11 16:23:43 X-Fade, so I have about 900 'useful' edits out of 1200, which will net me 30 karma. Nov 11 16:23:45 was worried cos there was a lot of activity on the channel :) Nov 11 16:24:51 Meizirkki: any luck with screenshots? Nov 11 16:25:05 GAN800: I see 1143 edits for you now. Nov 11 16:25:24 wait Nov 11 16:25:37 X-Fade, that are ove 50 chars? Nov 11 16:25:45 GAN800: Yes. Nov 11 16:25:48 i'll first try to get flash working Nov 11 16:25:57 with maemos gtk:s Nov 11 16:26:13 GAN800: Ah and modifier is * 2, btw. Nov 11 16:26:30 GAN800: So that will be 66 karma for you.. Nov 11 16:26:49 Meizirkki_n810: alright Nov 11 16:27:13 But we can discuss the weight ofcourse... Nov 11 16:27:57 Leave it for when we overhaul all of the modifiers Nov 11 16:28:10 I'll poke at dneary's proposal later this weel. Nov 11 16:28:14 Yeah, that will be corrected probably.. Nov 11 16:28:16 GAN800: Hirvinen is working on that right now Nov 11 16:28:18 s/weel/week/ Nov 11 16:28:19 GAN800 meant: I'll poke at dneary's proposal later this week. Nov 11 16:28:29 so the earlier you can poke it the better Nov 11 16:28:39 thanks GAN800 :) Nov 11 16:28:54 bergie: I think there need to be discussions first, so don't expect quick answers. Nov 11 16:29:17 X-Fade: oh... I though the points there were the things to implement this Sprint Nov 11 16:30:02 bergie: No? Nov 11 16:30:08 bergie, that's only dneary's list. Nov 11 16:30:28 bergie: I see karma for applications and detaching thumbs down from karma. Nov 11 16:31:34 https://wiki.maemo.org/Karma#Proposed_improvements is still under discussion. Nov 11 16:32:07 Should probably be pushed to a task Nov 11 16:32:22 Yes, I think so. Nov 11 16:34:21 ok... dneary was talking about "detaching thumbs down" and the proposed improvements at same time, so I though they were both to be implemented now Nov 11 16:35:38 #3767 is valid and can be fixed Nov 11 16:35:52 But all the modifiers still need to be discussed. Nov 11 16:36:08 GAN800: hey, can you give me some advice? Nov 11 16:36:26 well, we can play with the modifiers... the recount is only 48h anyway Nov 11 16:37:10 crashanddie, depends. :P Nov 11 16:37:15 Anyone know of a embedded device (possibly n800 or n810, but other options would be nice) that plays nicely with RFID readers? I saw the video on YouTube about the n800 reading tags, but the n800 is quite hard to get by these days (in large quantities) Nov 11 16:37:38 This would be for a medium sized projet (between 30 and 100 units) Nov 11 16:37:48 qwerty12: you about? Nov 11 16:37:51 a question about proposed karma improvements: from the wiki page: "Discussion: Modify discussion points to be scored as 2 * sqrt(# posts)" <- should that be (sign of good_posts + bad_post_modifier * bad_posts) 2 * sqrt(abs(good_posts - bad_post_modifier * bad_posts)) ? Nov 11 16:37:57 lardman, yeah Nov 11 16:38:07 Hey Q, wassup bro? Nov 11 16:38:12 qwerty12: which SDK version were you using to compile Qalculate! ? Nov 11 16:38:15 Find a reader that works reliably with Linux and go from there? Nov 11 16:38:29 wag1 crashanddie, I'm good here, how about you? :) Nov 11 16:38:32 Hirvinen: thumbs down should not give negative karma. That is all for now.. Nov 11 16:38:39 lardman, 4.1.1 iirc Nov 11 16:38:43 WinMob seems like it might require less work to get going, though. Nov 11 16:38:44 qwerty12: good good, job and everything :) Nov 11 16:38:59 heh, good to hear :) Nov 11 16:39:00 X-Fade: ok Nov 11 16:39:23 Hirvinen: Other things need discussion first. And probably pretty heated ;) Nov 11 16:39:37 GAN800: well, it's for a student project, and the students are mostly trained to work with Linux (my old school, one of the last bastions of free developers) Nov 11 16:40:28 so when I heard about it, I thought about the n800 immediately... Though it's for a university, so I'd like to think in terms of costs as well (and well, a uni has a bit of problems ordering 30 individual units on ebay) Nov 11 16:40:36 X-Fade: Are there parts of karma changes that are agreed upon? Nov 11 16:41:00 Hirvinen: No, only this one and that we need karma for applications. Nov 11 16:41:09 Hirvinen: only the one in that bug entry Nov 11 16:41:44 I still think bad posts/bad blogs should reduce that section to 0 (and no lower) Nov 11 16:42:28 lardman: Yes, that seems fair. Nov 11 16:42:30 lardman, per-post zero, not per-section Nov 11 16:42:54 Well, yeah if you mess up one time you don't need to be punished too much. Nov 11 16:43:07 But if you mess up every time, you will stay at zero. Nov 11 16:43:11 aret Nov 11 16:43:14 hmm Nov 11 16:43:24 thoughtfix shouldn't not receive any karma for his timeline and interview posts just because people really hate some of his iPhone and UI posts. Nov 11 16:43:28 GAN800: per section Nov 11 16:43:35 per-post Nov 11 16:43:58 The problem is 'bad' doesn't mean anything Nov 11 16:43:59 are those karma lists sorted by comments, favourites etc supposed to work? Nov 11 16:44:02 in which case it doesn't disuade people from posting rubbish Nov 11 16:44:22 mikkov_: yep... but unfortunately sometimes the DB server timeouts Nov 11 16:44:24 It's often more about the groupthink not agreeing with your opinions Nov 11 16:44:35 mikkov_: Try again in the morning :D Nov 11 16:45:07 lardman, clearly if it really becomes an issue it can be addressed to a poster directly. Nov 11 16:46:06 lardman: We can always remove a bad author from the planet. Which will do the same.. Nov 11 16:46:20 yeah, that's not quite what I mean though Nov 11 16:46:35 if people repeatedly post off topic, their overall blogging karma should be reduced Nov 11 16:46:41 thumbers are too unfair Nov 11 16:46:58 yes, but I don't think people have abused them have they? Nov 11 16:47:08 But what if they just say interesting, on-topic, but unpopular things? Nov 11 16:47:15 Sure they have Nov 11 16:47:25 Hell, I have. ;) Nov 11 16:47:26 Maybe we need a top 10 thumb downers ;) Nov 11 16:47:26 * lardman still wonders how his ~220 ml posts produce 38 karmas Nov 11 16:47:41 Publicly visible.. Nov 11 16:47:58 lardman: -community isn't counted yet. Nov 11 16:47:58 list people who give a thumb either way Nov 11 16:48:15 X-Fade: yeah, that's not many of my posts though, -dev's the main one Nov 11 16:48:35 Yeah, but the forum import is broken atm. Nov 11 16:48:45 It is not parsing all mails correctly. Nov 11 16:48:57 fair enough Nov 11 16:49:00 So your account isn't attachted to all of them.. Nov 11 16:49:27 don't worry :) Nov 11 16:49:49 One day... Nov 11 16:49:49 lardman: as long as it's sorted before cheap N900s start getting given out, eh? ;-) Nov 11 16:50:28 Jaffa: I'm not too concerned about that either, just that it should be right if it's being done Nov 11 16:50:32 Jaffa: I think lardman will be recognized without karma too.. Nov 11 16:50:48 X-Fade: one would hope Nov 11 16:50:56 bbl, dinner. Nov 11 16:51:15 Don't worry, with all my complaining about karma I';m sure I will be, probably in the wrong direction mind you! ;) Nov 11 16:52:29 hi im working on a synth (some of u know)..i use esound for sound generation and gdk for ui... result here: http://www.poojyum.com/h Nov 11 16:52:51 the trouble is i cant update the ui as i play the instrument Nov 11 16:53:01 i can but audio drops Nov 11 16:53:36 threading maybe? Nov 11 16:53:53 i am threading the audio Nov 11 17:01:12 argh, what do I add to sources.list to add the Extras repo? Nov 11 17:01:30 as you can see, /me would have to do quite a bit of debian packaging learning ;) Nov 11 17:02:24 lardman, http://wiki.maemo.org/Uploading_to_Extras#Setting_up_Scratchbox_to_use_the_extras_repository :P Nov 11 17:02:26 Damn, pellet truck arrived... tookna lot of time... Nov 11 17:02:59 lardman, I have to remind myself to update the Build-Depends everytime I add a library... Nov 11 17:03:52 thanks Nov 11 17:05:33 I just tried to update my diablo SDK install and it's pulling from maemo4.1, rather than maemo4.1.1 Nov 11 17:05:53 is that expected behaviour? Nov 11 17:05:54 Stskeeps: i screwed my hasty agn Nov 11 17:06:27 Meizirkki_n810: hehe.. happens Nov 11 17:07:00 lardman: may depend on your linux Nov 11 17:07:27 i tried to install all packages on /stskeeps and now apt-get naggs about missing depends, and apt-get install -f wants to remove evrything i have installed so far Nov 11 17:07:44 do check if the repo for your linux flavor contains 4.1.1 Nov 11 17:08:15 yep it does Nov 11 17:08:41 http://repository.maemo.org/pool/maemo4.1.1 Nov 11 17:10:28 Stskeeps: when i boot directly to ubuntu mobile it looks pixel-to-pixel same than the screenshot i took when using u-m first time in chroot Nov 11 17:10:31 try apt-get update then apt-get upgrade and see what keeps it back Nov 11 17:10:34 Meizirkki_n810: good Nov 11 17:11:35 anything i tell apt-get to do, returns with incorrect depends messages Nov 11 17:11:46 Meizirkki_n810: feel free to link scrshot on the jaiku saying this ran like this Nov 11 17:11:48 RST38h: I did that, nothing kept it back, it just doesn't decide to upgrade the url Nov 11 17:12:00 hmmm Nov 11 17:12:01 RST38h: will try again after my build has finished Nov 11 17:12:05 Meizirkki_n810: apt-get -f install might help Nov 11 17:12:30 maybe a typo in the sources file? Nov 11 17:12:47 apt-get -f install suggests removing all these u-m and other packages... Nov 11 17:12:52 no, that's what I mean, it lists maemo4.1 in the sources file Nov 11 17:13:00 I'd expected it to change that to maemo4.1.1 Nov 11 17:13:35 Meizirkki_n810: yeah.. i suspected the maemo gtk might blow some things up Nov 11 17:13:36 maybe its just not that smart?:) Nov 11 17:13:54 RST38h: yeah, will have to look at how to upgrade in the correct way eventually :) Nov 11 17:14:00 Meizirkki_n810: give me a pastebin of the errors about apt-geti nstall something Nov 11 17:14:08 ok Nov 11 17:16:51 Stskeeps: V Nov 11 17:16:54 http://pastebin.com/d11a87163 Nov 11 17:16:56 sry Nov 11 17:18:40 I'll try apt-get -f install even if it removes something Nov 11 17:18:51 qwerty12: you have any issues compiling libgmp? Nov 11 17:19:14 lardman, I can't remember properly but I think I did Nov 11 17:19:54 rubbish C++ Nov 11 17:20:44 Meizirkki_n810: thanks, please edit it on the wiki and make a note in jaiku about this Nov 11 17:20:51 since it's an instance of maemo gtk messing up things Nov 11 17:21:03 (put the exact error somewhere and link to it) Nov 11 17:21:11 pastebins arent forever so Nov 11 17:21:22 ok Nov 11 17:21:54 qwerty12: apparently an issue which has been fixed in GCC4.x.x Nov 11 17:22:28 lardman, hrm, i'll set up an cs2008 toolchain later Nov 11 17:29:25 Stskeeps: these confilicts might be nto about meno GTK, maybe i got errors because i tried to install all packages you have upladed so far, and some of them have missing dependacies? Nov 11 17:29:50 *might to be about maemo... Nov 11 17:30:03 so much typos =P Nov 11 17:31:21 Meizirkki_n810: one of the reasons is probably osso-gnomevfs2 Nov 11 17:31:26 that blows up UM definately Nov 11 17:31:51 stick with the maemo gtk for now instead of everything else Nov 11 17:31:55 you would get a better result Nov 11 17:32:02 qwerty12: were you using the SDK+ sdk by chance? Nov 11 17:32:12 qwerty12: iirc that has gcc 4.x.x on it Nov 11 17:32:12 lardman, never... Nov 11 17:32:26 oh, ok Nov 11 17:33:07 Getting the cs2008 toolchain up and running wasn't hard. Nov 11 17:33:16 It took up 2GB of disk space for no apparent reason, but it wasn't hard. Nov 11 17:33:28 is that GCC 4? Nov 11 17:33:31 Yes. Nov 11 17:33:33 Meizirkki_n810: but in any degree any problems you run into are important to microdocument, cos we will definately deal with them later Nov 11 17:33:36 ah, ok Nov 11 17:33:43 You need it for the qrcode stuff. Nov 11 17:33:52 gcc 3.x has way too many compiler bugs. Nov 11 17:33:57 right-ho Nov 11 17:34:01 yeah Nov 11 17:35:40 Actually, I guess I used cs2007q3, which was also gcc 4.x. Nov 11 17:36:49 I may as well use OE to build it then really Nov 11 17:38:11 ok Nov 11 17:42:06 hmm, or not, doesn't appear to be in the metadata Nov 11 17:48:12 Can anybody with some language experience look over the list of categories and start generating l10n? Nov 11 17:48:33 I have a feeling Nokia may take forever to do the translation. Nov 11 17:48:51 stick them on the wiki and let people suggest I suggest Nov 11 17:49:15 Stskeeps: done Nov 11 17:52:44 GAN800: can we add an extra section to the wiki page with a table of names + column for each translation? Nov 11 17:56:46 lardman: how's your mediawiki syntax? ;-) Nov 11 17:57:02 Bah, going to be another night tonight whe re I don't get home until gone 11pm Nov 11 17:57:10 not very good, and I don';t have the email to hand either Nov 11 17:57:38 Jaffa: I've just had two nights where I did get home, but just kept on going till I went to bed Nov 11 17:57:47 s/going/working Nov 11 17:58:03 doh Nov 11 17:58:58 * Jaffa better damn well get a payrise (hmm) and a promotion (yay, more perks) on Saturday... or else Nov 11 17:59:30 (Southpark mode) "or else?" Jaffa: "Exactly!" Nov 11 17:59:31 ;-) Nov 11 18:00:05 is that where "perk"=="working late more often"? ;) Nov 11 18:00:59 lardman: that depends on your home situation :-) Nov 11 18:02:15 Stskeeps: are you going to switch to armv6el release soon? =) Nov 11 18:02:33 gomiam: :) Nov 11 18:03:20 Meizirkki: when i get the installer and repo going, yeah Nov 11 18:03:36 but the issue is that i cross-compile on a qemu that doesnt seem to like vfp, oddly enough Nov 11 18:03:46 ok Nov 11 18:03:55 lardman, the table's on the wiki. Nov 11 18:04:39 Stskeeps: or have you passed an -mcpu flag too? Nov 11 18:05:32 GAN800: ok Nov 11 18:05:39 lardman: debootstrap died so :P Nov 11 18:05:44 Jaffa, I suspect we'll want an English l10n before any others. Nov 11 18:05:45 wasn't really much to do to get a rootstrap Nov 11 18:05:48 to chroot into Nov 11 18:07:33 anyone try to get armedslack on an internet tablet? Nov 11 18:08:09 GAN800: so you ok with my adding a table with multiple rows to that page then? (assuming I can work out how of course...) Nov 11 18:08:33 ron1n: there was a blog of some guy going insane over it.. Nov 11 18:08:40 or was that gentoo.. Nov 11 18:09:48 lardman, https://wiki.maem.org/Task:Package_categories#Translations Nov 11 18:10:55 cool Nov 11 18:11:01 ron1n: think most active alternative OS'es are mamona, deblet, and this strange thing we're doing in here Nov 11 18:11:35 Stskeeps, Dr. Frankenstein Nov 11 18:11:39 Stskeeps, thanks Nov 11 18:11:51 GAN800: Maemo "Frankenstein" Nov 11 18:11:52 i like that Nov 11 18:11:53 :P Nov 11 18:12:38 .. but i'm more of a dr jekyll and mr hyde really Nov 11 18:12:39 :P Nov 11 18:12:57 Stskeeps: where can i get libdebletflashplayer.so? Nov 11 18:13:29 Can somebody provide a quick translation for that table? Nov 11 18:14:05 lardman: Company car or car allowance. Nov 11 18:14:08 right, I added columns Nov 11 18:14:14 Jaffa: ah, not so bad then Nov 11 18:14:18 * Jaffa has his eye on a nice shiny new fast VW Scirocco. Nov 11 18:14:31 Aston Martin? Nov 11 18:14:38 Doubtful Nov 11 18:14:42 :D Nov 11 18:14:47 Programming and not Development? :P Nov 11 18:15:01 GAN800: I think I've been persuaded of "Sound & Video" for user/multimedia. Nov 11 18:15:02 Development has many menaings Nov 11 18:15:09 Indeed. Nov 11 18:15:13 mm Nov 11 18:15:18 * lardman is happy with Multimedia, it's well known Nov 11 18:15:30 lardman: Fair enough. I'm equally happy with either. Nov 11 18:15:31 Jaffa, change it if you want. ;) Nov 11 18:15:40 GAN800: was trying to build consensus ;) Nov 11 18:15:57 * GAN800 has no opinion Nov 11 18:16:16 and Desktop is ambigious, what does it cover? Nov 11 18:16:25 it would be easier to translate if the justifications for the name was there Nov 11 18:16:26 :P Nov 11 18:16:27 * Jaffa is ambivalent. And lardman is pro "Multimedia". So I'm fine. Nov 11 18:16:39 Stskeeps: scroll up about 400 px ;-p Nov 11 18:16:42 Stskeeps: stuff to go on the desktop - applets Nov 11 18:16:43 ar Nov 11 18:16:45 Desktop is applets Nov 11 18:17:24 Interestingly Apple just has 'Music' Nov 11 18:17:51 and just 'Navigation' for the location stuff. Nov 11 18:18:04 * Stskeeps dislikes the "desktop" metafor for a tablet home screen for some reason, but that's a personal Nov 11 18:18:15 GAN800: do you want to reply to Marius' email to ask people to add their translations here? If I reply I'll lose the threading as I don't have the original here Nov 11 18:18:49 * GAN800 pulls up gmail Nov 11 18:19:22 * lardman wonders who will do the All and Other translations? Nov 11 18:19:35 why user/development and then Programming? Nov 11 18:19:41 that's slightly confusing :P Nov 11 18:19:46 Stskeeps: just 'cos Nov 11 18:20:09 Stskeeps: you'll never see the user/development unless you develop; if you're an end user it's ambigous Nov 11 18:20:11 Packagers know what 'development' is Nov 11 18:20:36 getting a company car? Nov 11 18:21:20 why do debian packages from ARM have arm in the package name, and deblet packages have armel in the package name? Nov 11 18:21:44 ron1n: debian has armel too Nov 11 18:21:55 'arm' is getting taken out the back and shot eventually afaik Nov 11 18:22:04 Stskeeps, is armel significantly different from arm? Nov 11 18:22:09 ABI-wise afaik Nov 11 18:22:10 sec Nov 11 18:22:17 gotta finish this translation first Nov 11 18:22:22 mhmm Nov 11 18:23:05 ron1n: http://wiki.debian.org/ArmEabiPort Nov 11 18:23:17 lardman, thanks Nov 11 18:23:24 np Nov 11 18:23:43 ronln: arm packages in debian repos are for armv3 and they don't work on tablets Nov 11 18:24:08 I'm really taking intrest in getting uladulteraded slackware (armedslack as I hear is) on a tablet Nov 11 18:24:13 they used to work on the 770 though before the abi change Nov 11 18:24:15 Meizirkki, I see Nov 11 18:24:40 lardman, I remember that from when I still had my 770, thats why I'm a bit confused Nov 11 18:25:25 yeah, have a read of that url, should explain it all - eabi is far better for all except keeping compatible Nov 11 18:25:46 the TI omap series is just the processor that is used with the eabi arch, correct? Nov 11 18:25:51 especially good for the n8x0 as it moved to vfp as default fp format, away from the awful fpa Nov 11 18:25:57 * Stskeeps contributes a danish translation for sections Nov 11 18:26:10 even though they probably need verification Nov 11 18:26:13 ron1n: yes, it could run the old abi Nov 11 18:26:49 Stskeeps: cool, thanks Nov 11 18:26:59 so eabi is the new evolution in arm, got it Nov 11 18:27:10 I just need to see if armedslack is eabi ready Nov 11 18:27:21 * lardman heads to grab a beer while cln compiles.... Nov 11 18:28:16 lardman, replied. Nov 11 18:30:03 ron1n: if you want to get it running on tablet, use the deblet boot basics and friends scripts, they're all open source and in svn on deblet home page Nov 11 18:30:16 will save you a lot of time and headache Nov 11 18:31:06 but, you will probably run into same problem as everyone else - power usage Nov 11 18:31:06 got error installing deblet installer Nov 11 18:31:23 not impossible Nov 11 18:31:26 but which? Nov 11 18:31:59 unable to installs Nov 11 18:32:08 that's a bit vague :P Nov 11 18:32:09 ,,.

Nov 11 18:39:10 no, but it may conflict heavily Nov 11 18:39:17 Stskeeps, i am sure it was the installer.. Nov 11 18:39:30 can you copy-paste the log to me, rafiks? Nov 11 18:39:32 Meizirkki_n810: alright, :P Nov 11 18:39:44 that was probably that night i was drunk and coding on it.. Nov 11 18:41:22 Stskeeps: wiil do . Nov 11 18:44:37 oh my... Fennec is so heavy and slow that it's not a clever choice, at least yet. Nov 11 18:45:36 Stskeeps: can you give me direct link to libdebletflashplayer.so I did not find it from trunk Nov 11 18:46:42 http://trac.tspre.org/projects/deblet/export/6/trunk/nit-base-packages/debian-flashplayer/usr/lib/browser/plugins/libdebianflashplayer.so Nov 11 18:46:52 thanks Nov 11 18:47:05 i was looking from the wrong place :) Nov 11 18:47:13 MakeGho, it's just barely an alpha release. Nov 11 18:47:34 try Tear or something instead, MakeGho Nov 11 18:50:21 GAN800: I know :) But I'm wondering because some sources said it to be "six times faster" Nov 11 18:50:27 Stskeeps: http://pastebin.com/m6de839fa Nov 11 18:50:47 MakeGho, that was only one js benchmael Nov 11 18:50:52 s/mael/marl Nov 11 18:50:55 marj Nov 11 18:50:59 good lord Nov 11 18:51:02 mark Nov 11 18:51:18 oh ok Nov 11 18:51:33 MakeGho, and that's only because it's based on a newer release of Firefox Nov 11 18:51:48 yup Nov 11 18:51:55 MicroB will get those js improvements eventually, too. Nov 11 18:53:14 rafiks: you should poke qole about that.. we seemingily ended up using same name for our icon Nov 11 18:54:20 Stskeeps: What's this thing you're refering to? I can't succeed to find anything useful. Nov 11 18:55:44 MakeGho: http://internettablettalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=24293&highlight=tear Nov 11 18:55:49 Stskeeps: qole's not here is he? Nov 11 18:56:57 rafiks: nop, he's on itt, solution is uninstall easy debian for you, it's unintentional we share same icon filename and path.. Nov 11 18:58:30 does the ARM kernel have its own home like the x86 kernel resides at kernel.org? Nov 11 18:59:34 Stskeeps: thanks..will try that. Nov 11 19:05:47 <||cw> ron1n: kernel.org is THE home for all officially supported arch's Nov 11 19:06:19 <||cw> ron1n: every platform tends to have their own patches that are not supported by kernel.org though Nov 11 19:06:20 ||cw, I found the ppc and ps3 ports, hunting for the arm port still Nov 11 19:06:26 ||cw, I see Nov 11 19:06:39 <||cw> ppc is arm.... Nov 11 19:06:46 wtf. :P Nov 11 19:06:52 <||cw> well, in source Nov 11 19:07:02 Meizirkki: http://trac.tspre.org/mrrepo/ Nov 11 19:07:04 <||cw> well, it's all just source anyway Nov 11 19:07:05 I have a lot to learn =P Nov 11 19:07:26 <||cw> and there are multiple types of arm Nov 11 19:07:28 I am use=Pd to x86 and that is about it Nov 11 19:07:29 <||cw> ppc being one of them Nov 11 19:07:45 Stskeeps: You got it up! =P Nov 11 19:07:47 finally Nov 11 19:07:49 I am used to x86 and thats about it =P*** Nov 11 19:07:55 <||cw> sure... except now x86 is 2 arch's too, with x86-64 Nov 11 19:08:38 yeah, but the 32 bit vs 64bit is the only difference Nov 11 19:08:55 while looking at ppc and arm, they seem to be very different Nov 11 19:09:06 * Meizirkki is adding mr-repo to his sources.list Nov 11 19:09:10 I had no idea they derive from the same source Nov 11 19:10:26 Meizirkki: codename is 'reconstructed' or 'testing', main, non-free and contrib Nov 11 19:10:35 i'll be adding boot packages later tonight Nov 11 19:10:42 ok Nov 11 19:12:25 so we can install easily Nov 11 19:14:03 wb Nov 11 19:17:43 Ubuntu-mobile starts now when i type startx :) Nov 11 19:18:44 woop Nov 11 19:18:53 take a pic, even though it's crap quality Nov 11 19:18:56 it's a nice showoff Nov 11 19:19:12 what about crap quality 3gp video Nov 11 19:19:20 =P Nov 11 19:19:34 pic is better thancrap quality 3gp :P Nov 11 19:19:43 * ron1n says this topic is relative to his intrests Nov 11 19:20:08 ookay Nov 11 19:20:16 i'll take both :) Nov 11 19:20:25 ron1n: we're doing a proof of concept of http://wiki.maemo.org/Maemo_Reconstructed Nov 11 19:29:07 Stskeeps, the deblet project uses jaiky instead of twitter!? =P Nov 11 19:29:11 * ron1n is a big twitter fan Nov 11 19:29:19 jaiku* Nov 11 19:31:59 this is awesome, this is what I expected to see when I first purchased my 770 early 2006 Nov 11 19:32:37 I mean, a little app here or a little app there is cool and all, but I really wanted to see the open source community really "run with" the internet tablets Nov 11 19:32:37 ron1n: well this is just a offshoot of the deblet experiences Nov 11 19:32:44 * RST38h moos evilly Nov 11 19:33:16 Stskeeps, I understand, I'm speaking of my recent findings with maemo in general Nov 11 19:33:17 and not a nokia project, but something we in community try to do to somewhat prove to nokia this really ought to be the way to go :P Nov 11 19:33:33 thats what I really wanted to see from the begining Nov 11 19:34:10 Sts: Looking at your maemo reconstructed wiki page, "or installing a VMware appliance for non-Linux users" is wrong Nov 11 19:34:28 Sts: it should be a native windows sdk coming in the .msi package Nov 11 19:35:02 Nokia is a big company. Big companies like open source, but to a point it just isn't practical. Blobs exist everywhere with in OS200x Nov 11 19:35:15 ron1n: it's actually not that bad when you look closer Nov 11 19:35:23 Sts: Scratch any mentions of eclipse - I don't think anybody but java diehards use this beast Nov 11 19:35:48 RST38h: yet it seems to be used for a variety of different langs Nov 11 19:36:03 RST38h: and the eclipse/etc is input from other sources in this case :P Nov 11 19:36:05 Stskeeps, when I checked OS2006 out, it was bad. Everything from the wireless, to low level touch screen stuff was a blob Nov 11 19:36:39 Sts: it *supports* different languages Nov 11 19:37:00 Sts: But do try to use Eclipse for serious development and you will see why it is not worth the effort Nov 11 19:37:10 RST38h: i'm a bit of a vim/make person Nov 11 19:37:11 :P Nov 11 19:37:17 so i'm not the best to argue in this area Nov 11 19:37:22 Slow, unstable, has non-standard UI - typical java app Nov 11 19:37:25 Kdevelope? works nicely Nov 11 19:37:41 Sts: pico/make here Nov 11 19:37:54 ick pico Nov 11 19:37:59 RST38h, pico is the way to go for plaintext all the way Nov 11 19:37:59 :P Nov 11 19:38:07 * Stskeeps is a joe or vim guy Nov 11 19:38:10 depending on what i need to do Nov 11 19:38:18 joe is probably ok, not much different from pico Nov 11 19:38:37 i grew up on the polypascal editor so it kinda went from there.. Nov 11 19:38:42 same shortcut Nov 11 19:38:43 I'm a firm believer in optionally reading the man page, I really don't feel like flipping through the mah an appn page just to get up and running wit Nov 11 19:38:43 s Nov 11 19:38:46 * qwerty12_N800 (despite only knowing the basics) is a vim fan :p Nov 11 19:39:01 qwerty12_N800, vimtutor is the way to go Nov 11 19:39:09 I mean to use it, I just haven't found the time Nov 11 19:39:16 anything that does not support arrow keys out of the box is not a real text editor Nov 11 19:39:33 RST38h, uses something similar Nov 11 19:40:19 ron1n, yeah... I just can't bring myself to run it :/ Nov 11 19:40:23 no, "something similar" won't do Nov 11 19:40:33 If arrow keys do not work, I am not using it Nov 11 19:57:16 Meizirkki_n810: if you get bored.. see if you can compile kernel-diablo natively Nov 11 19:57:39 are you kidding? Nov 11 19:57:48 i said if you got bored ;) Nov 11 19:58:00 RST38h, can you do an ru_RU translation for https://wiki.maem.org/Task:Package_categories#Translations ? Nov 11 19:58:14 okay, it is the next thing i will try :) Nov 11 19:58:36 GAN: Depends on how much work it is Nov 11 19:58:38 that kernel tihng Nov 11 19:58:42 *thing Nov 11 19:59:00 if it is just typing a text file then yes Nov 11 19:59:01 12 categories Nov 11 19:59:06 now i am fighting with ubuntu-mobile =) Nov 11 19:59:28 Just stick them on the wiki, or send them to me and I'll stick them there. Nov 11 20:00:02 Working. Nov 11 20:00:07 why does os2007 do different stuff and try to guess if i use finger or stylus? Nov 11 20:00:24 Because that's the way it was programmed Nov 11 20:00:45 It was dropped for OS2008 because it really didn't work very well. Nov 11 20:00:51 yeah i can tell Nov 11 20:01:14 good idea in principle Nov 11 20:01:31 * lcuk now sees what people meant about stylus friendly Nov 11 20:02:55 i attach n810 with usb to computer. /media/disk pops up with some subdirectories. Where are these in n810 filesystem? Nov 11 20:03:37 Meizirkki_n810: actually nm Nov 11 20:03:56 Meizirkki_n810: i'll do that on my own, as it is deadly :P Nov 11 20:04:09 ok Nov 11 20:04:32 I mean if I run e.g. cp /home/mlpug/file.avi /media/disk where in n810 I can find that file.avi? Nov 11 20:06:06 Stskeeps, hmm, compiling the kernel on n800? Do you plan to do that after you've taken drugs? :P Nov 11 20:06:43 like flashing, recompiling the kernel on the n800 should always be done with the charger connected... Nov 11 20:07:00 qwerty12_N800: no, vodka! Nov 11 20:07:08 GAN: Ready Nov 11 20:07:12 Stskeeps, heh... Nov 11 20:07:13 Well. We *did* compile kernel back in the days when we had 386/25 w/4 MB memory, too... Nov 11 20:08:34 The kernel was a lot smaller back then. Nov 11 20:08:52 1MB kernel was considered huge Nov 11 20:09:02 SLOC-wise, too. Nov 11 20:09:07 RST38h, I see it on the wiki. Excellent, thank you! :) Nov 11 20:09:20 FreeBSD had 600kB..1MB kernels Nov 11 20:09:31 Hi, milhouse. :) Nov 11 20:09:42 hi GAN Nov 11 20:10:13 derf: true. But the n810 has more memory and is faster ;) Nov 11 20:10:14 OSF/1 had a huge 10MB kernel that was actually a Mach "microkernel" + crap Nov 11 20:10:24 milhouse, hrm, want to update your schematics folder? ;) Nov 11 20:10:30 we got a new one? Nov 11 20:10:57 milhouse, i found n810 ones and some other goodies a while back... Nov 11 20:11:12 sure - you got the url? Nov 11 20:18:23 Somebody should package up avahi for Extras so it doesn't need to be coerced into working. Nov 11 20:25:34 GAN800, Bug pH5 :P Nov 11 20:26:04 according to summary, he's the uploader Nov 11 20:26:42 Why am I bothering to argue with allnameswereout? Nov 11 20:26:45 Imma bug qwerty12 Nov 11 20:27:10 sjgadsby: the kind of person that's kinda like fly paper? Nov 11 20:27:12 sjgadsby, S'okay, it's hard to avoid Nov 11 20:27:26 I still want to know his angle Nov 11 20:28:07 * lcuk needs to update to 2008, its all strange in here Nov 11 20:29:02 He appears to be omniscient and infallible. Nov 11 20:29:14 Clearly Nov 11 20:29:21 hiya sjgadsby Nov 11 20:29:24 He's an intellectual Nov 11 20:29:33 HiHi, lcuk. Nov 11 20:30:29 with telnet, i would be able to start apps in ubuntu-mobile-desktop... Nov 11 20:31:22 lardman|afk, compiled gmp with cs2008 toolchain, gcc went fine, libtool did not... Nov 11 20:32:16 do you think tim could become an opensismus trainee? (i really hope he gets sorted) Nov 11 20:32:19 Meizirkki_n810: scrshots! Nov 11 20:32:57 lardman|afk, attempted to compile rather :) Nov 11 20:33:03 they look exsactly same that those i already have in picasaweb Nov 11 20:33:40 okay, i'll upload some more :) Nov 11 20:34:26 lcuk, well, he's not in Berlin and he' waaaaaay overqualified. Nov 11 20:35:24 yeah i know gan, it bites Nov 11 20:35:55 Stskeeps: Sould i uplodad em somewhere that is possible for anybody to download? Nov 11 20:36:53 GAN800, seen pybattery? if there should be something that takes the name of adv-power, it's that... Nov 11 20:37:09 Meizirkki_n810: picasa is fine i think Nov 11 20:37:21 ok Nov 11 20:39:33 oh dear - what's going on here? Open this link on Jaaksi's site (http://jaaksi.blogspot.com/2008/10/few-thoughs-on-openness.html) then click the link to Jaffa's "ideas and opinions" and get a 403 because Jaaksi is a spammer... :) Nov 11 20:40:24 why the heck did they remove the layout mode from 2007? Nov 11 20:41:01 lcuk: to annoy you (probably) Nov 11 20:41:28 lcuk: layout mode? Nov 11 20:41:30 * lcuk has never run os2007 before Nov 11 20:41:34 desktop applets Nov 11 20:41:41 locked unless in layout mode Nov 11 20:41:55 ah Nov 11 20:42:00 Desktop applets that couldn't be locked in place was a genius feature Nov 11 20:42:08 s/was/is/ Nov 11 20:42:08 lcuk, but at least they were able to be locked :) Nov 11 20:42:10 milhouse meant: Desktop applets that couldn't be locked in place is a genius feature Nov 11 20:42:23 qwerty12_N800, thats the point, why remove the feature Nov 11 20:42:38 * lcuk shakes head lol Nov 11 20:42:42 "we don't need no stinkin' layout mode when we have lock touch screen and keys!" Nov 11 20:43:00 * lcuk is forever movin his clock around Nov 11 20:43:56 stskeeps - on the contrary, because it IS a touchscreen is exactly why you need them locked down! :) too many times i've messed up the desktop just picking up/putting down the n8x0... takes about 5 minutes to get everything back to normal 'cos the snap to grid is so shit Nov 11 20:44:33 milhouse: i was being mildly sarcastic, i want to lock mine too, bloody irritating "feature" Nov 11 20:44:34 a free shank to whoever makes a patch for hildon-desktop to add an option to lock applets! Nov 11 20:44:36 :P Nov 11 20:44:45 Fremantle. Nov 11 20:44:59 stskeeps: sorry thought you were a nokia drone :) Nov 11 20:45:31 oi, i take offense to that :( Nov 11 20:45:34 someone "frontport" the relevant code from maemo-af-desktop into hildon-desktop :p Nov 11 20:45:47 stskeeps: hehe, sorry :) Nov 11 20:46:20 milhouse, you've been away too long. ;) Nov 11 20:46:32 See Maemo Reconstructed. :) Nov 11 20:46:52 yah, just been monitoring bugzilla mostly Nov 11 20:47:03 GAN800: Again! Nov 11 20:47:21 GAN800: It's like rearangging deckchairs on the Titanic... Nov 11 20:47:27 :( Nov 11 20:48:29 GAN: No offence to you and the guys who are busting a gut for Nokia, but well you know how it is... Nov 11 20:49:29 I shall read the Wiki entry though Nov 11 20:49:48 * Stskeeps personally isn't, - if nokia sees potential in this stuff, we'll have a kickass maemo future, if not, we have a kickass maemo alternative :P Nov 11 20:49:54 milhouse, we're moving in a positive direction these days. Nov 11 20:50:18 I do wonder sometimes when I read some of the "WONTFIX" and "RESOLVED" bugs in bugzilla Nov 11 20:51:10 Well, WONTFIXing recently is more of a Diablo -> Fremantle issue Nov 11 20:51:26 A LOT of platform stuff is changing in Diablo Nov 11 20:51:41 s/Diablo/Fremantle/ Nov 11 20:51:41 GAN800 meant: A LOT of platform stuff is changing in Fremantle Nov 11 20:51:53 Maybe, the ones that have got my goat the last few days are the GPS one and the English (Canada) bug... I mean how hard would it be to support English (Canada)? I like Canada. Nov 11 20:51:56 :) Nov 11 20:51:59 Anyway, I'm not busting a gut for Nokia Nov 11 20:52:11 I'm busting a gut for the community. Nov 11 20:52:20 GAN: There's always lots of platform changes with every big release, that seems to be part of the problem... Nov 11 20:52:35 Nah, these are good. Nov 11 20:53:05 Having said that, I look at 2008 and compare it to 2005 and I don't see a huge amount of change in 3 years.... most of it is under the cover, still the same old sh1tty UI and application bugs... Nov 11 20:53:18 GAN: I hope you are right, I really do. Nov 11 20:53:30 Fremantle is a brand new UI direction Nov 11 20:53:48 GAN: I really appreciate your gut busting :) Nov 11 20:54:13 Trust me, I'm just as jaded, tired and cynical as you and I'm feeling good about things. Nov 11 20:54:34 GAN: I know, that means many of the old bugs will be "WONTFIX"'d (good) but new ones will emerge that will be ignored for 3+ years until the next major UI redesign etc. It's this attitude which must be changed... somehow. Nov 11 20:54:42 qwerty12_N800: you ever tried bashing your head in with the source package for kernel-diablo-modules-extra_2.6.21-200829maemo1_all.deb and such? Nov 11 20:55:08 milhouse, thing is, though, we're getting close to that step 5 Nov 11 20:55:35 GAN: I got a developer N810 which makes me feel guilty about slating Maemo so next time I'll pay full whack for a N900 and have a clear conscience. :) Nov 11 20:55:56 Stskeeps: There are some photos: http://picasaweb.google.com/mail.deweb/MaemoReconstructed# They are VERY crappy quality. I'll continue playing with this tomorrow, it is 22.50 here. Nov 11 20:56:05 nini, Meizirkki_n810 Nov 11 20:56:12 Stskeeps, nah. just compiled the kernel the "traditional" way, go on to ssu repo and replace their kernel image in the deb with mine Nov 11 20:56:17 =) Nov 11 20:56:41 GAN: Is there a Step 6? Nov 11 20:56:46 and what meiz just posted is ubuntu mobile on a n810 Nov 11 20:56:49 booting Nov 11 20:56:54 very blurry pics Nov 11 20:57:37 milhouse, harmattan Nov 11 20:57:46 milhouse, pressumably Nov 11 20:57:47 Ah yes... Nov 11 20:57:48 There are better quality pics in n810 album, but they are from chroot Nov 11 20:57:49 No Nov 11 20:57:58 lcuk, Fremantle is step4 Nov 11 20:57:58 no? Nov 11 20:58:08 fremantle is maemo 5 is it not? Nov 11 20:58:14 it is Nov 11 20:58:14 Harmattan is either 4.1 or 5 Nov 11 20:58:19 step Nov 11 20:58:28 but I think the N810 was step 3.5 of 5 wasn't it? Nov 11 20:58:42 or something like that... Nov 11 20:58:43 770, N800, N810, N900, Nxxx Nov 11 20:59:36 what about the w Nov 11 20:59:45 Will be interesting to see if Nokia/Maemo manage to push out regular, working Freemantle updates AND take on board the feedback and fix the bugs prior to release. That would be a sign of major progress. Nov 11 20:59:57 sorry, I meant alphas not updates Nov 11 21:00:55 lcuk, N810W is not a step. Nov 11 21:01:00 that also depends on if we test them properly Nov 11 21:01:19 lcuk: if you mean file quality bug reports, yep couldn't agree more. Nov 11 21:01:20 milhouse, that's in the discussion phase Nov 11 21:01:33 The alpha sdk is coming out next month. Nov 11 21:01:55 Quim and Marius were talking an unstable distribution Nov 11 21:02:24 Hopefully not like Sardine Nov 11 21:02:47 IIRC they considered sardine a failure and said they will do better this time Nov 11 21:02:51 depends where it sits in the community Nov 11 21:02:53 but don't remember who said that Nov 11 21:03:07 bergie: that would be a fair assesment, cheers Nov 11 21:03:53 if it stays ahead of stable branch it will work Nov 11 21:04:05 * Stskeeps 's vision is the maemo basics in community hands and nokia basing firmware on top of it, and contracting companies to contribute to the base maemo and such Nov 11 21:04:08 :P Nov 11 21:04:22 milhouse, browse around the -developers archives a bit. Nov 11 21:05:08 I must admit I've got several hundred unread -developers messages :) Nov 11 21:05:29 Must catchup eventually - last time I checked it Darius was in the process of get blackballed. :) Nov 11 21:05:31 Worth poking through Nov 11 21:05:45 milhouse, thats some bad lag Nov 11 21:05:46 s/get/getting/ Nov 11 21:08:55 qwerty: All schematic files now uploaded to http://nmacleod.com/nokia/schematics - thanks! :) Nov 11 21:08:58 ~curse BSCIS and each of its many departments Nov 11 21:11:38 milhouse, cool :) Nov 11 21:12:16 ~stab watchdog Nov 11 21:14:42 hm, pybattery in extras? Nov 11 21:14:50 can't seem to find a screenshot or link Nov 11 21:15:00 Stskeeps, http://www.internettablettalk.com/forums/showthread.php?p=241131 Nov 11 21:15:04 He seems to have dropped the link. Nov 11 21:15:29 mmk Nov 11 21:15:35 an upgrade? *hopeful* Nov 11 21:15:58 does it use HAL or similar to kcbatt? Nov 11 21:17:01 Yes, but is it in Python? Nov 11 21:17:13 pybattery kinda gives that off Nov 11 21:17:23 No go then... Nov 11 21:17:26 Stskeeps, hal Nov 11 21:17:28 (.. morbid curiousity), besides showing stuff like advanced backlight and a battery applet in maemo-r wouldn't be that bad Nov 11 21:17:48 as a demonstrator it's silly to close source stuff like that Nov 11 21:18:56 qwerty12_N800: if you ever want to compile the source package i spoke of, remove HOST_CC=host-cc or something in the package rules, it breaks everything Nov 11 21:19:35 Anyone know if Freemantle will support remote SIM ? Nov 11 21:19:38 Stskeeps, ah, thanks. btw: http://i38.tinypic.com/zjjrd0.png Nov 11 21:19:45 (Bluetooth Profile) Nov 11 21:20:09 ermm... OK maybe that should be Freemantle on N900 Nov 11 21:20:22 qwerty: coool Nov 11 21:20:24 qwerty12_N800: quite intruging Nov 11 21:20:34 qwerty: now, if it only were in C... Nov 11 21:20:39 get on recoding it Nov 11 21:20:39 :P Nov 11 21:20:44 Remote SIM would avoid me having to get a second mobile network contract Nov 11 21:20:48 Fremantle. :p Nov 11 21:21:06 manatee? Nov 11 21:21:09 milhouse, we're way too far off to know something like that. Nov 11 21:21:24 Hopefully someone/somewhere has given it some thought... :) Nov 11 21:21:45 Not too many people will be keen on getting a second airtime contract Nov 11 21:21:46 Pressumably, but they're shuttered up in Nokia HQ Nov 11 21:22:03 * RST38h isn't very keen on getting the first airtime contract either Nov 11 21:22:14 hehe - true Nov 11 21:22:30 why should I make a contract with these guys? isn't money enough? Nov 11 21:23:18 Seemingly not... although if you buy a subsidised phone it's fair enough to have a contract otherwise you could run off with the phone... Nov 11 21:23:44 * RST38h isn't buying subsidized phones. I can still pay for my gadgets, thanks =) Nov 11 21:23:45 I'm on a SIM-only "contract" which means the contract is pretty pointless Nov 11 21:24:28 If all you want is airtime then I suppose there's always Pay as you go - no contract required Nov 11 21:24:55 Is there anything else to want from these guys? Nov 11 21:25:03 LOL Nov 11 21:25:05 Ringtones for $3 a pop? Nov 11 21:25:25 SMS messages for $.15 when I can just as well run ICQ client? Nov 11 21:25:51 Data pipes... one day they'll learn that's all they are... Nov 11 21:26:21 You can't effectively milk clients with a data pipe Nov 11 21:26:51 sure you can - ask T-Mobile/Google Nov 11 21:27:04 apparently they charge you for IM messages sent with any client other than GoogleTalk Nov 11 21:27:06 heh, android "rm -rf /" Nov 11 21:27:15 milhouse: And how do they count? Nov 11 21:27:29 no idea Nov 11 21:27:46 Let us say I run Slick and connect to an ICQ server. How is my traffic different from other traffic? Nov 11 21:27:48 <`0660> that should be pretty easy to get around :) Nov 11 21:28:02 ssl :P Nov 11 21:28:03 badly, judging by my last bill from O2 which made me leave rather than get stung with another bill for services I never used... Nov 11 21:28:24 you have got a Googlephone? =) Nov 11 21:28:34 RST - I'm sure some people will get around it, most normal people may not Nov 11 21:31:05 most "normal people" will send SMS messages for 4.15 Nov 11 21:31:14 <`0660> http://psi-im.org/wiki/Gateway Nov 11 21:31:49 4.15? A bargain! ;) Nov 11 21:31:56 s/4/$/ Nov 11 21:32:33 the principle thing i want from my service provider is reliability Nov 11 21:33:20 which means you are likely to buy service from a traditional phone company (Verizon in US, MTS in Russia) Nov 11 21:33:47 I just want my service provider to stay out of my face - I don't want to know they are there Nov 11 21:33:54 no way! im not payin long distance, ill find a provider in the UK ;) Nov 11 21:34:07 milhouse: but how are they gonna develop your brand loyalty? :) Nov 11 21:34:10 Why would you guys say the community has not come up with an alternative vector mapping program? Nov 11 21:34:29 cos vectors are hard Nov 11 21:34:37 lcuk: But surely, your landline phone monopolists also provides cellular service? Nov 11 21:34:55 RST: Bugger loyalty! I'm on SIM only for a reason!! Nov 11 21:34:58 Sargun: Where would you get vector map data? Nov 11 21:35:03 RST38h, OSM. Nov 11 21:35:04 RST38h, im pullin ur leg a bit, yeah theres reliable cell phone providers here Nov 11 21:35:10 Sargun, um? Navit? Roadmap? Nov 11 21:35:26 Sargun: There is already a program for that called Navit. Or you can use Roadmap Nov 11 21:35:30 ah Nov 11 21:35:36 Let me try them Nov 11 21:35:43 But the OSM data is rather crappy Nov 11 21:35:51 depends on location Nov 11 21:36:13 if its crap near you walk around with gps for a while Nov 11 21:36:15 RST: What landline monopolists, the phone exchanges have been open for several years now - literally anyone can provide a service (voice and/or data) Nov 11 21:36:16 Ok, to correct myself, most locations I really need are complete crap in OSM Nov 11 21:36:16 it will get better ;) Nov 11 21:36:44 RST38h, just drive where you need to go a few times and then a few weeks later the data will be available for you to use Nov 11 21:36:49 hope you dont need directions today Nov 11 21:36:52 milhouse: Yes, but only landline monopolist has enough locations throughout the area to saturate it with cell transceivers Nov 11 21:37:14 lcuk: Yea, the open source principle - "if you need something, do it yourself!" Nov 11 21:37:36 Where does navit/roadmap get its vector data? Nov 11 21:38:00 milhouse: The rest will have to negotiate tower space with all the property owners Nov 11 21:38:00 RST: Few companies are able to make the kind of investment that operating a cellular network requires, we've got 4 or 5 companies in the UK all competing and squabbling over the same locations... Nov 11 21:38:07 Sargun: OSM. Nov 11 21:38:13 RST38h, ah. Nov 11 21:38:23 milhouse: Let me show you an example Nov 11 21:38:34 RST: And none of them are British Telecom which used to be (and possibly still is from a backhaul perspective) the landline monopolist Nov 11 21:38:40 RST38h, Do you guys think people would pay $40-50 + map fee for Teleatlas or Navteq? Nov 11 21:38:50 whats performance of navit like on the n8x0? Nov 11 21:38:52 milhouse: Take east coast US. Its landlines are served by Verizon, a monopolist Nov 11 21:39:00 Sargun: No. Nov 11 21:39:14 rsalveti, Why would you say that? Nov 11 21:39:17 RST: Sorry, I was talking about the UK - I have little idea how the US operates, I assumed it was open Nov 11 21:39:19 err, RST38h Nov 11 21:39:39 milhouse: There are (or were) several cell providers: AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon, etc Nov 11 21:39:47 milhouse: Guess who has the best coverage ;) Nov 11 21:39:52 milhouse, didnt o2 start as the mobile arm of bt? Nov 11 21:40:07 LCUK: It did, got flogged off to the Spanish Nov 11 21:40:27 milhouse: Open or not, but you can't MAKE Verizon place your cell transmitter onto their tower Nov 11 21:40:32 lcuk, yeah... cellnet > bt cellnet > o2 Nov 11 21:40:34 You have to pay for that Nov 11 21:41:02 RST: Why can't the other companies put up their own towers? That's what happens here although it would make more sense to share towers Nov 11 21:41:41 milhouse: You do not place tower in the air. It stands at some property. Or your transmitter gets mounted on a building. Nov 11 21:41:41 RST: Cell towers are prime assets - why should Verizon make space for a competitor? Nov 11 21:41:57 milhouse: And of course, people always complain about these Nov 11 21:42:07 milhouse:right. and it does not. Nov 11 21:42:10 RST: Yes, same here - usually on top of tall buildings. Nov 11 21:42:24 RST: Getting a cell tower is like being given the permission to print money. Nov 11 21:42:30 milhouse: That is why Verizon has the best coverage - it has historically owned a lot of pieces of land Nov 11 21:43:08 milhouse: It has got landline exchanges throughout the region and being a monopolist it can easily make deals that other companies can't Nov 11 21:43:21 Like placing stations in DC subway Nov 11 21:43:54 RST: In the UK that was BT (O2) but they didn't site their cell towers optimally, whereas Vodafone did the mathematics to work out the optimal coverage and bought the rights to site their towers in the best locations using the least number of towers and still had a better network than O2... Nov 11 21:44:09 milhouse: Same stuff with MTS in Moscow. And I am pretty sure T-Mobile enjoys the same privileges in Germany Nov 11 21:44:46 milhouse: just means BT management was stupid Nov 11 21:45:01 RST: Yep Nov 11 21:45:45 RST: But Vodafone were smart, and beat BT - however the challenge that Vodafone faced is the same for Sprint etc. Nov 11 21:46:30 RST: It's the reality of the situation, what do they expect - hand outs from Verizon? They just have to accept it and be smart about what they do. Sadly they're probably not (judging by the complaints I hear about various US service proviers) Nov 11 21:47:37 milhouse: I don't think US consumers expect anything from cell companies any more Nov 11 21:47:53 It does seem to be a bit of a mess over there Nov 11 21:48:05 milhouse: Everybody got used to be assfucked on permanent basis Nov 11 21:48:12 Not helped by trying to push their own world standard... Nov 11 21:48:25 US isn't pushing cell standards any more Nov 11 21:48:43 If you mean CDMA it is only supported by one network in the US (Verizon) Nov 11 21:48:54 No but they did in the past, when everyone else was happy with GSM etc. Nov 11 21:49:01 They didn't Nov 11 21:49:19 AT&T historically used TDMA (pre-GSM standard) and moved to GSM eventually Nov 11 21:49:42 Verizon used CDMA all the way, provided by QUualcomm Nov 11 21:50:01 Why did the US try to setup a CDMA network in Iraq? :) Nov 11 21:50:19 BTW, 3G (UMTS) is also CDMA based (CDMA/TDMA are MAC protocol names rather than standard names) Nov 11 21:50:39 milhouse: Verizon or Qualcomm probably got a contract, that's all Nov 11 21:50:56 Yes, it was political - not much use to the Iraqis Nov 11 21:51:11 Iraq has known worse things than CDMA network Nov 11 21:51:20 true Nov 11 21:52:49 At some point this afternoon, my N810 began popping up the stylus keyboard for input even when the hardware keyboard is out. What settings might I check to try to return to the old, stylus-keyboard-only-when-hardware-keyboard-is-closed behavior? Nov 11 21:53:38 Control Panel -> Text Input? Nov 11 21:53:41 sjgadsby, have you tried the windwos fix Nov 11 21:53:48 windows even Nov 11 21:53:56 What's the windows fix? Nov 11 21:54:02 turn it off and back on again Nov 11 21:54:13 Ah. Gotcha. Nov 11 21:54:32 I'll try that now, lcuk. Nov 11 21:54:39 may be simpler than twiddling with things - if you havent done anything specific to change stuff something couldv justcocked up Nov 11 21:55:07 * lcuk iwll pass you onto level 2 support if its still broken :P Nov 11 21:55:16 where do i get typing assistance? Nov 11 21:55:44 i need an intern Nov 11 21:56:14 usb lead for my n810 wont work on n800 will it Nov 11 21:56:23 no Nov 11 21:56:26 damn Nov 11 21:56:44 who lives near manchester and has an n800 Nov 11 21:56:56 or do i have to send off for one Nov 11 21:57:01 sarf lahndan - sorry Nov 11 21:58:02 any miniUSB lead should work in a N800 Nov 11 21:58:25 Yep, lcuk, a reboot fixed it. Such a simple fix; sorry for the noise. Nov 11 21:58:26 (microUSB on n810) Nov 11 21:59:45 mmm ill try and find one though Nov 11 22:00:09 qwerty12_N800: segfault here too Nov 11 22:01:27 thanks milhouse Nov 11 22:01:34 hiya simon Nov 11 22:01:48 lardman, heh, i was getting a crap load of errors Nov 11 22:02:47 n800 os2007 startup is much quicker than os2008 Nov 11 22:04:17 qwerty12_N800: qalc runs fine from the command line, some glib errors at start up Nov 11 22:04:22 * qwerty12_N800 has to see if i can get bora's running at 400mhz. an n800 dvfs change at best :) Nov 11 22:04:49 kernel^ Nov 11 22:05:13 lardman, ah, i thought you were talking gmp. yeah, probably easier to build qt version of qalc Nov 11 22:07:22 I've given up on gmp, won't compile with GCC 3.x.x; I compiled qalculate-gtk and that's causing the segfaults Nov 11 22:08:11 lardman, gcc4 will compile it here, just libtool messes up Nov 11 22:08:47 lcuk, Bora is a lot lighter. Nov 11 22:08:50 gmp3 isn't actually needed anyway Nov 11 22:08:54 Microsoft is now offering 25 per cent off eBay purchases made by way of its Live Search engine Nov 11 22:09:26 Rob 'em, quick!

Nov 11 22:35:40 Stskeeps, hildon-desktop should be able to be built w/out maemo-launcher support Nov 11 22:36:30 yes, but the boosters are are a good maemo thing Nov 11 22:37:18 rebuild hildon-desktop again afterwards with launcher support :p Nov 11 22:37:50 mm Nov 11 22:38:31 afaik, maemo-launcher doesn't depend on hildon-desktop in the sense of needing it, rather hildon-desktop launches programs built taking advantage of maemo-launcher properly Nov 11 22:38:55 * Stskeeps looks Nov 11 22:43:25 * Stskeeps tries building without libhildondesktop-dev Nov 11 22:43:33 okay.. Nov 11 22:43:33 :P Nov 11 22:43:40 didn't work Nov 11 22:45:52 bollocks >.< Nov 11 22:48:16 * Add build-dep to maemo-launcher-dev Nov 11 22:48:38 aug 2007.. and: march 2007: * hildon-desktop-dev should not depend on maemo-launcher Nov 11 22:48:42 "%" Nov 11 22:49:12 i need a punching bag in my apartment.

Nov 11 22:55:59 dunno Nov 11 22:56:36 i'm attempting bootstrapping hildon-desktop now Nov 11 22:56:57 as qwerty suggested Nov 11 22:58:54 there's a nolauncher thing so Nov 11 23:01:37 johnx: so what's your plans? Nov 11 23:02:48 hmmm...well other people use glade, so I might as well take a stab at it, unless you have a suggestion Nov 11 23:02:54 *nod* Nov 11 23:03:36 well there's always editing deblet installer to get from mojo handhelds and set up a proper hasty minbase script, and installing packages, but that might take some time to get working Nov 11 23:04:23 i've uploaded all the boot scripts and packages so Nov 11 23:04:43 or simply see what packages need to be added for it to boot Nov 11 23:05:27 from a bare debootstrap minbase Nov 11 23:06:47 hmm, no ohm release yet Nov 11 23:08:47 yeah, it'll come eventually Nov 11 23:12:35 actually, one quick question about m-r policy? Do we care about the possibility of having more than one user? or does that even make sense? Nov 11 23:15:36 i think we'd run in a bunch of problems but then again, im not sure hildon is dependent on it being /home/user Nov 11 23:15:47 maybe not multiple users at the same time Nov 11 23:17:20 I don't think it's that dependent, but now would be a good time to push for multiuser if there were people who had a legitimate interest in it Nov 11 23:26:22 mm - im not sure its a good idea on such low power devices though Nov 11 23:26:34 i mean, if there was a "fast user switch" with suspended sessions, maybe, but.. Nov 11 23:27:55 okay, i'm off to bed Nov 11 23:30:41 alright, I'll take a look at packages needed to boot Nov 11 23:30:51 'night Nov 11 23:32:16 Mhm.

Nov 12 01:21:17 pferrel, try using whatever docs are out there with the latest sdk from android's page at google code Nov 12 01:21:38 the install process should not be excrutiatingly different Nov 12 01:23:45 it needs a newer kernel than 2.6.21 Nov 12 01:35:03 hi every1 Nov 12 02:48:00 http wiki doesn't work period.
