**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Nov 23 02:59:57 2008 Nov 23 03:00:40 soap? Nov 23 03:38:44 yes? Nov 23 03:38:55 z4chh, I only ask because I am in Columbus. Nov 23 03:47:27 hi Nov 23 03:53:37 i live near Dayton, Ohio Nov 23 03:56:12 Hi ! Nov 23 03:59:29 Hello Nov 23 04:14:39 Ah, right, it's our fault for the flamewar. Nov 23 04:14:52 Hopefully that'll end it, anyway. Nov 23 04:18:04 can anyone tell me what "usb_bulk_write: Resource temporarily unavailable" means (from flasher-3.0) and why that left me with a bricked N800? Nov 23 04:18:28 Actually bricked? Nov 23 04:18:35 Or just "bricked"? Nov 23 04:18:40 "bricked" Nov 23 04:18:48 Try flashing again? Nov 23 04:19:07 same result Nov 23 04:19:17 Dunno Nov 23 04:20:12 Just after the sending initrf, I get "Write failed after 0 bytes" and then the "usb_bulk_write: Resource temporarily unavailable" Nov 23 06:01:37 I'm wasting way too many hours on this, I hope I don't get pissed and throw my N800 against the wall Nov 23 06:02:06 I just can't figure out what is causing the stupid thing to continually reboot Nov 23 06:03:42 stupid in an "it's frustrating" sense, I don't really think it's stupid Nov 23 06:05:58 Reflash? Nov 23 06:06:02 Clearly there's something wrong Nov 23 06:06:35 well, actually the flash works ok, it's mmc2 Nov 23 06:06:49 Then re-clone Nov 23 06:07:41 I've done it about 18 times, and used known good backups.... it works fine until I install "something" either manually or from the backups Nov 23 06:08:13 and I never know what does it, because it doesn't start until the first power up after the installs Nov 23 06:08:24 Sure it's not a broken SD card? Nov 23 06:09:00 well, it could be, but fsck doesn't show anything Nov 23 06:10:44 I'll give that a try, but IIRC, this is actually the second SD Card I've tried (it gets jumbled after 18-20 time Nov 23 06:10:46 s Nov 23 06:12:02 part of the confusion is due to the fact that I've also repartitioned and reformatted the a couple of times, just in case - might have been one card or two Nov 23 08:55:29 hi , I am taking a java course and wanted to use my N800 Nov 23 08:55:40 jalimo Nov 23 08:55:41 I downloaded cacao Nov 23 08:55:57 when I run javac Main.java I get an error Nov 23 08:56:13 sorry I downloaded jailmo Nov 23 08:57:14 /opt/cacao-static/bin/cacao: line 1: syntax error: "(" unexpected Nov 23 08:57:39 You can't run a "pc" program on the N800's processor. Nov 23 08:57:51 hi qwerty Nov 23 08:57:55 hi citylights Nov 23 08:58:08 hi qwerty Nov 23 08:58:29 hi qwerty I really like to do the chores on my device Nov 23 08:58:54 hi Nov 23 08:59:00 I'd like to help you but I know jack all when it comes to java on the tablets :/ Nov 23 08:59:00 citylight: please do "file /opt/cacao-static/bin/cacao" and tell us what it prints Nov 23 09:00:03 * RST38h asks the Great Cthulhu to harvest the last remaining Java fanatics and eat their brains...wait, what? No brains? Go for the liver then. Nov 23 09:00:12 file not found ... Nov 23 09:00:38 btw I am at the java class NOW Nov 23 09:01:12 citylights: Please, relay my prayer to your instructor. It will make him feel better, trust me. Nov 23 09:01:43 ok, I will try to reinstall and have cacao on my device. Nov 23 09:01:48 Anyways, you can't have a "syntax error" message from a file that does not exist, so something is wrong Nov 23 09:02:03 RST38h, the program file isn't installed Nov 23 09:02:04 we are at double=5.0/2.0 Nov 23 09:02:09 Are you typing "file /opt/cacao-static/bin/cacao" on the same device where you tried running it? Nov 23 09:02:20 yes I m Nov 23 09:02:25 qwerty: He can't be getting syntax errors from it then Nov 23 09:02:40 RST38h, no no, /opt/cacao-static/bin/cacao exists, /usr/bin/file doesn't Nov 23 09:02:53 qwerty: Well it exists on my tablet Nov 23 09:02:59 RST38h, that's because you installed it Nov 23 09:02:59 just checked before telling him Nov 23 09:03:04 No I did not Nov 23 09:03:17 Installed emelfm2 or midnight commander? Nov 23 09:03:24 yea Nov 23 09:03:27 that was it? Nov 23 09:03:30 You installed file. Nov 23 09:03:39 citylights: ok, install mc Nov 23 09:04:09 min Nov 23 09:08:34 cafe break brb Nov 23 09:10:06 /opt/cacao-static/bin/cacao: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.6.8, statically linked, stripped Nov 23 09:10:30 Not going to run on the N800, the N800 uses an ARM processor Nov 23 09:10:55 citylights: Ok, does this answer your question about why it does not run? Nov 23 09:14:57 ovcourse Nov 23 09:15:07 was a bit lazy I guess Nov 23 09:16:19 brb Nov 23 09:25:33 GeneralAntilles: (if you are not sleeping), do you have any idea why my blog post still hasn't been aggregated? Nov 23 09:25:55 konttori_, well, the other option is that Planet could simply be broken. :P Nov 23 09:26:04 wow, you never sleep! Nov 23 09:26:26 do you have idea whom to contact about the planet? Nov 23 09:26:26 It's that horrible college thing, it does bad thing to your schedule. ;) Nov 23 09:26:39 Oh! Yeah. That thing! Nov 23 09:27:06 enjoy the college reality distortion field! Nov 23 09:27:34 Ehehe Nov 23 09:30:57 while you can, yes Nov 23 09:31:03 konttori_, well, your feed seems fine, so it's probably planet. http://konttoristhoughts.blogspot.com/atom.xml Nov 23 09:33:47 konttori_, either file a bug or harass X-Fade or bergie about it I guess. Nov 23 09:50:32 Morning, al Nov 23 09:50:34 +l Nov 23 09:53:35 Hi, Jaffa. Nov 23 10:55:10 there are times i wish that there was a notification when the wifi was turned of based on the timeout. specifically when im writing up a forum post or similar only to discover it after i have hit reply... Nov 23 10:56:08 Hehe Nov 23 10:56:15 A banner might not be terrible. Nov 23 10:56:18 Enhancement request? Nov 23 10:56:26 (with a preference setting, hopefully) Nov 23 10:57:28 will probably only show up in fremantle anyways... Nov 23 10:57:40 X-Fade: Any chance you could run the planet synchronisation ? My blog isn't getting aggregated (well, latest post isn't) Nov 23 11:18:52 konttori_, mornin, any chance you can post the .deb to ukmp, your pic last night might have encouraged me about something ;) Nov 23 11:19:37 Sure. the link is on the blog post Nov 23 11:19:50 I'm adding the exit button at the moment. Nov 23 11:20:01 So, I'll release and update later today Nov 23 11:20:26 and I'll try to also add a bit to the unstability issue. Nov 23 11:20:38 heh, ill go the long way then and pm myself Nov 23 11:20:40 (which is gstreamer releated) Nov 23 11:20:56 https://garage.maemo.org/frs/download.php/4906/ukmp-1.80_all.deb Nov 23 11:22:08 konttori_, Why do you copy the files with a .py extension to ones without? Nov 23 11:22:35 umm... because my build scrip sucks so bad? Nov 23 11:23:04 :/ Nov 23 11:23:23 I could take a look at fixing that at some point. Nov 23 11:23:39 actually, I think I have solved it already, just not fixed to the postinst. Nov 23 11:24:09 I always find something more interesting / fun to do than fix the scripts. Nov 23 11:24:36 Heh, you haven't seen my changelog for gftp... Nov 23 11:25:03 fix the scripts or take out the garbage? ... tough one... let's take out the garbage. Then wash the dishes Nov 23 11:26:41 mmmm still same issue as last time ;) i havent got enough albums to be kinetic Nov 23 11:26:58 * qwerty12 goes for tracks more rather than albus Nov 23 11:27:01 i like the portraitness Nov 23 11:27:03 *albums even Nov 23 11:27:27 and the large gutter around the tracklisting lets you use it without accidentally clicking :D Nov 23 11:28:48 Ah. I'll try to fix today also the support to work better when user has only a few albums Nov 23 11:28:59 it works Nov 23 11:29:15 and dont fix the gutter ;) Nov 23 11:29:19 Ah. does it position the items correctly / in a way that makes sense Nov 23 11:29:29 nope, I planned to leave gutter Nov 23 11:29:44 I've been thinking about leaving it only on one side though Nov 23 11:29:49 but, let's see. Nov 23 11:31:08 heh i've been thinking about it for other things Nov 23 11:31:19 rotation angle is 180deg from what i expect Nov 23 11:31:47 Hmm... Now shuffle looking as it should, close button is in the right place (and works). Next I need to add the kill any previous lingering instances of ukmp on startup. Nov 23 11:32:03 good thing though about your rotation (apart from a coding perspective) is that it doesnt require a kernel update Nov 23 11:33:01 Screen updates take place in the wrong direction, though. Nov 23 11:33:11 Everything would be so easy if Nokia would just ship two small patches. Nov 23 11:33:21 They don't even need to expose anything in the UI Nov 23 11:33:32 Just one small kernel patch and one small Xomap patch. . . . Nov 23 11:34:23 you know the tearing "grain" rotates when you use xrandr rotation it changes this and the grain then tears along with it (less noticable) Nov 23 11:34:49 lcuk, exactly what I said. :P Nov 23 11:35:18 yes :P but you didnt explain why Nov 23 11:35:37 konttori_, it doesnt run rotated (can't talk, libase doesnt either ;)) Nov 23 11:42:41 hi, can maemo mapper calculate routes? Nov 23 11:43:14 * aquatix loves http://wiki.maemo.org/TabletDeath#Reasons_Why_Internet_Tablets_Will_Die Nov 23 11:47:24 anyone? can i enter 2 cities and get route Nov 23 11:47:41 oli-n800, presumably you're on an N800, no? Nov 23 11:47:44 Tap the menu in Maemo Mapper. Nov 23 11:47:47 Tap Routes Nov 23 11:48:22 yep, i am Nov 23 11:51:06 GeneralAntilles, but can it work like google maps ex. from paris to berlin and i get complete route with description Nov 23 11:51:25 There's an option to download a route in the menu. Nov 23 11:52:47 tabletdeath needs real reasons Nov 23 11:52:53 flying zombie death Nov 23 11:53:06 We should add a section on the zombie apocalypse. Nov 23 11:53:10 i have done Nov 23 11:54:30 Why Is Everything In Proper Case? Nov 23 11:56:08 lcuk, RST38h has apparently got a bad habit about that. :P Nov 23 11:56:12 Feel free to fix it. Nov 23 11:56:23 konttori_, using ukmp with 810 on its stand reminds me of this: http://img371.imageshack.us/img371/125/image001fo8.gif Nov 23 11:56:31 ive just added my own :) Nov 23 11:56:58 GeneralAntilles, thanks a lot ;) I'm owner of tablet for 3 days so I'll ask some more obvious questions ;) Nov 23 11:57:30 oli-n800, bookmark this: http://fragostech.com/MaemoMapper/ Nov 23 11:58:23 any idea why maemo mapper does not find my n810 gps receiver? Nov 23 11:58:36 Bluetooth with no address Nov 23 11:58:47 ^ Nov 23 11:59:41 ...bluetooth? Nov 23 11:59:43 it's built-in Nov 23 11:59:54 That's how gpsd has to be started. Nov 23 12:00:03 Inelegant and weird, but so it goes. Nov 23 12:00:23 lcuk: very nice poem. I love it! Nov 23 12:01:11 luck: you can run it in rotated mode by changing the variable: DISPLAY_ROTATE Nov 23 12:01:26 The, it *should* run in X rotated canvas Nov 23 12:01:30 thank digg for finding it, i dunno where it was originally http://digg.com/odd_stuff/Neck_Care Nov 23 12:01:42 (or, e.g. in scratchbox) Nov 23 12:02:19 my python hacking skills are about the same as my fighting way out of a wet paper bag skills Nov 23 12:02:44 ill wait for you to add a few more opts ;) Nov 23 12:02:51 GeneralAntilles: so, to be sure, i have to choose gpsd host 127.0.0.1 in the gps settings? Nov 23 12:02:57 well, it's on line 28. the first variable in MediaCenter.py Nov 23 12:02:58 Bluetooth Nov 23 12:03:00 No MAC Nov 23 12:03:05 oh Nov 23 12:03:15 lcuk: Yeah, I'll add the command line opts for it. Nov 23 12:03:27 GNUite really should add a layer of UI abstraction, but so it goes. Nov 23 12:03:38 yay Nov 23 12:03:42 no rush, ill just get used to changing the orientation of my neck to compensate :D Nov 23 12:03:42 now it somehow works Nov 23 12:03:47 it didn't last time i tried Nov 23 12:04:13 everything else rotatets the other way, i prefer my escape button at the bottom Nov 23 12:04:18 yerga, ping Nov 23 12:04:18 GeneralAntilles: thanks :) Nov 23 12:04:38 qwerty12_, pong! Nov 23 12:04:40 :P qwerty12. Nov 23 12:05:01 aquatix, sure thing. Nov 23 12:05:27 qwerty12_, we should keep totals on these things. I'd be interested in the result. :P Nov 23 12:06:14 yerga, I've "hildonized" the main window, hildonised the menu but it seems I suck at adding a callback event to make the window fullscreen. I've also fixed the packaging and made it integrate with dbus: http://qwerty12.maemobox.org/gftp/gftp-2.0.18.tar.bz2 Nov 23 12:06:18 GeneralAntilles, On what? :P Nov 23 12:06:40 qwerty12_, who wins the double-team "thanks" of course. ;) Nov 23 12:06:59 qwerty12_, cool, I will take a look Nov 23 12:07:00 We frequently seem to double up on these things, and it's interesting to see who ends up getting the thanks. Nov 23 12:07:33 Oh, heh :D. I gave a quick answer, you went more in depth with it Nov 23 12:09:15 Is anyone using the home screen applet drag lock patch? Nov 23 12:09:24 me me me Nov 23 12:09:33 I built his latest version the other day Nov 23 12:10:51 * lcuk "upgraded" sketch editing, it now saves upto 36 at one time now Nov 23 12:11:52 what kind of devices/specific models would be good to test a x86 mer/maemo alike dist on? Nov 23 12:11:53 It's pretty good. I built the latest veersion, too Nov 23 12:12:15 I'm trying to improve it by storing the state in a conf file Nov 23 12:12:27 Woot, go fiferboy! Nov 23 12:12:30 Stskeeps, buy a Samsung Q1. Nov 23 12:12:32 Then ship it to me. :P Nov 23 12:12:40 Then I can rob GeneralAntilles Nov 23 12:12:43 :P Nov 23 12:12:56 * GeneralAntilles sets out some landmines. Nov 23 12:13:05 Or that Sony UMPC Nov 23 12:13:36 I think it should go in ~/.osso/hildon-desktop/desktop.conf Nov 23 12:13:51 You guys remember that R50A everybody on itT was saying was going to kill the N810? Nov 23 12:14:22 another q, - think maemo would be good on a tv screen? Nov 23 12:14:26 But the files that have been edited only use home.conf, which is not appropriate Nov 23 12:14:33 Stskeeps, with a Wiimote? Nov 23 12:14:33 Yes. Nov 23 12:14:38 k Nov 23 12:14:47 cos that's what we're thinking about doing :P Nov 23 12:14:49 Not so much with a dpad on a remote, though. Nov 23 12:15:05 How's actual Wii Linux these days? :P Nov 23 12:15:06 we will have bt keyboard with trackpad :P Nov 23 12:15:17 Could someone perhaps add to the current wiimote code the support for the tv screen? Nov 23 12:15:34 I did take a look at it at some point and it might not be so terribly hard Nov 23 12:15:54 https://garage.maemo.org/projects/wiicontrol Nov 23 12:15:59 could be a starting point. Nov 23 12:16:25 TV screen? Nov 23 12:16:26 what do you mean support Nov 23 12:16:27 I have a slightly improved version of the code if anyone is willing to give it a shot. Nov 23 12:16:46 umm... well, wiimote infra tracking capabilities Nov 23 12:16:58 Ah, right. Nov 23 12:17:03 if e.g. you are using n800 that you have connected to telly Nov 23 12:17:18 How, exactly? :P Nov 23 12:17:24 with usb Nov 23 12:17:29 Alternatively, does that mean the N900 will have TV out? :P Nov 23 12:17:39 No clue Nov 23 12:17:51 Well, current USB-to-VGA support isn't fast enough to track a Wiimote Nov 23 12:17:58 It takes about 10 seconds to render FBReader's interface. Nov 23 12:18:08 btw konttori_ as a user who raves about liqbase (or as a raving user) could you comment and rate it on the product page please :$ http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/liqbase/ Nov 23 12:18:14 I thought it was possible to get 2 fps Nov 23 12:18:25 I've seen much better usb support then inside nokia. Nov 23 12:18:29 konttori_, the tv control aspect, do you mean the candles thing Nov 23 12:18:39 We've had the targus usb dock stations for n800. Nov 23 12:18:39 \o/ w000t 2fps Nov 23 12:18:43 lcuk, yes, the sensor bar. Nov 23 12:18:49 and the users were claiming they work just as well as desktop use Nov 23 12:19:07 If only Nokia had shipped a couple of IR LEDs behind the speaker grille on the N800. ;) Nov 23 12:19:16 * Stskeeps wouldn't mind a docking system for tablets Nov 23 12:19:17 i keep wanting to just hold a barcode over my 810 and using that as input device Nov 23 12:19:22 well, 2 fps makes it e.g. usable as slide show thingy. Nov 23 12:19:23 konttori_, Graham needs to get with those guys. . . . Nov 23 12:19:41 And, whatever the case it with the future devices, they will be faster Nov 23 12:19:45 Stskeeps, powered USB hub? ;) Nov 23 12:19:52 GeneralAntilles: well a stand is a good thing too Nov 23 12:20:00 with ethernet, ec Nov 23 12:20:13 i would buy one of those, really Nov 23 12:20:25 targus docking station has it all, usb hub, keyboard inputs, vga out, serial port, whatnot Nov 23 12:20:32 even ethernet Nov 23 12:20:56 konttori_, wouldnt it be better to incorporate the actual code thats within the wiimote itself for detecting the IR blobs. ie point your actual 8x0/9x0 at the screen itself and process where the dots are ourselves Nov 23 12:21:07 psst, konttori_ , what are your smuggling rates? Nov 23 12:21:24 * Stskeeps passes qwerty12_ a beagleboard Nov 23 12:21:41 Yum, these taste good Nov 23 12:22:05 yeah, well, beagleboard is really cool dev platform. interesting to test. Nov 23 12:22:12 ill electrocute myself ifi try touching the beagleboard, it needs a touchscreen Nov 23 12:22:16 I wonder if maemo is running on any of those Nov 23 12:22:30 konttori, check Flickr Nov 23 12:22:42 just give him your link gan :P Nov 23 12:22:43 it's trivial to get maemo work but not in a clean way Nov 23 12:22:54 lcuk: yeah, well, the n800 would need an infrared filter on the camera, but sure, it's doable like that Nov 23 12:23:26 So, e.g. the cool multitouch display they had in berlin is doable with n800, projector, some infra lamps. Nov 23 12:23:28 heh, just display a color coding on the corners of the tv screen ;) Nov 23 12:23:32 might be actually a really cool test. Nov 23 12:23:50 lcuk: yeaw, theoretically even with that Nov 23 12:24:05 hmmmm Nov 23 12:24:44 can some1 dig out a shop link for the kind of USB cable ill need to update my n800 to diablo Nov 23 12:24:54 i have one but no usb and i dunno what i need to buy Nov 23 12:25:16 isn't it a typical mini A/B one? Nov 23 12:25:21 look at your digital camera maybe? Nov 23 12:25:21 ^ Nov 23 12:25:31 that's where i got mine originally Nov 23 12:25:42 The one bundled with practically every consumer electronics device sold over the past few years. :P Nov 23 12:26:00 lcuk, the cable that came with mine is a nokia dke-2 but any generic one should work fine Nov 23 12:26:31 konttori_, http://flickr.com/photos/jadon/2295700120/ http://flickr.com/photos/jadon/2290280255/ http://flickr.com/photos/jadon/2414674548/ Nov 23 12:26:39 well ive looked through the rats nest and i dont have any Nov 23 12:27:42 GeneralAntilles: thanks. looks good. Nov 23 12:27:56 lcuk: didn't you get a cable with your device? Nov 23 12:28:09 ummm well no Nov 23 12:28:22 He stole it from some jerk on the bus. Nov 23 12:28:34 :O Nov 23 12:32:40 now if this targus had s-video too.. Nov 23 12:36:37 hmm, what other themes are there of freely-licensable ones for maemo? Nov 23 12:37:09 i mean, there's plankton obviously, but others? Nov 23 12:37:19 Stskeeps, LCARS? Nov 23 12:37:25 ^ Nov 23 12:37:26 Probably not, actually. :P Nov 23 12:37:29 (that does not need OS2008 parts? Nov 23 12:38:45 heh, yeah, lcars looks like it is Nov 23 12:38:52 even has own sounds Nov 23 12:39:06 lcars as default theme for mer it is Nov 23 12:39:07 (...) Nov 23 12:39:26 Oh lord Nov 23 12:39:43 lol Nov 23 12:40:45 "Hey, Nokia managers, this is a proof of concept of an upstream-compliant Maemo. We'd really like you to look at this when planning Maemo's future. Also: Star Trek." Nov 23 12:41:15 i think that would only work on software engineers Nov 23 12:42:11 heh, http://web.mac.com/sonicjunki/770/770_files/screenshot00.png Nov 23 12:42:19 * Stskeeps would like to thank konttori_ for theme maker Nov 23 12:42:37 There were a lot of terrible themes for the 770. Nov 23 12:42:46 hey, looking good Stskeeps Nov 23 12:42:47 Most notably the default ones. <_< Nov 23 12:42:54 konttori_: hehe, i didn't do that one, just found it Nov 23 12:43:53 but there seriously needs to be some better themes than plankton for hildon use :P Nov 23 12:44:05 that are OSS/distributable Nov 23 12:44:42 I want the old Plankton back. Nov 23 12:45:04 ah, added the ukmp 1.81 Nov 23 12:45:05 https://garage.maemo.org/frs/download.php/4910/ukmp-1.81_all.deb Nov 23 12:45:13 you can probablt make the plankton look better by just switching the background pic and some other minor tweaks Nov 23 12:45:57 I want this back: http://mg.pov.lt/osso-xterm-buttons1.png Nov 23 12:46:49 If I was on os2007, i'd probably be using the appleenvy theme Nov 23 12:47:43 Ha . . . the guy complaining about MicroB's js performance turns out to be using Opera on OS2007. <_< Nov 23 12:49:12 ive gotta vanish again, ww3 just erupted downstairs, konttori_ nice chatting, cyas all later Nov 23 12:49:39 Zombie apocalypse is starting at lcuk's Nov 23 12:50:01 not really i took the wiimote off jake until he picks up his orange peel ;) Nov 23 12:50:28 Ha Nov 23 12:51:25 hm, new company in the maemo sphere, blumsoft.eu Nov 23 12:51:30 haven't seen those before Nov 23 12:53:29 NoBounds? Nov 23 12:53:46 no clue, saw code from them in gtkhtml and hildon-control-panel Nov 23 12:54:31 you know, with all those different companies actually maintaining the components of maemo, the generic-platform by community and nokia contracting people to contribute to components inside it, does not seem so far off Nov 23 13:09:36 is there any way to make an video call from n800 to a PC? Nov 23 13:09:49 Gizmo or aMSN Nov 23 13:10:03 http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=qdbbaksn_vk Nov 23 13:10:33 so fitting and true Nov 23 13:10:40 GeneralAntilles: gtalk won't do it? Nov 23 13:10:56 oli, don't think the clients use the same video format Nov 23 13:10:59 or something like that. Nov 23 13:11:59 * GeneralAntilles sighs again at the mailing list. Nov 23 13:15:39 m-u? Nov 23 13:15:49 Yeah Nov 23 13:15:56 ah :P Nov 23 13:15:59 email spam about the wiki. . . . Nov 23 13:16:35 yeah, you obviously banned this guy :P Nov 23 13:16:44 he's probably not using https Nov 23 13:16:44 :P Nov 23 13:17:44 An anonymous edit ban would be less confusing. . . . Nov 23 13:21:10 * Stskeeps isn't sure what to think of launchpad yet. Nov 23 13:22:00 bzr seems to be neat though Nov 23 13:22:10 Stskeeps, let me know when you figure it out, I'd like to know. :) Nov 23 13:23:38 so far it isn't on the directly positive side, but we haven't started using the collaboration just yet Nov 23 13:23:47 mer is an experiment in this area too so Nov 23 13:24:02 ffs, http://qwerty12.maemobox.org/screenies/thefuck.png Nov 23 13:24:32 qwerty12_N800: your hildon desktop is trying to be a larger resolution Nov 23 13:25:20 Stskeeps, I blame python applets :P Nov 23 13:26:12 mm, i look forward to my armel builder coming online monday, got a lot of stuff in queue for it Nov 23 13:43:51 * Stskeeps ponders why his nokia just chose to reboot. Nov 23 13:47:40 flying zombies Nov 23 13:48:09 The Day Of The Glorious Reboolution. Nov 23 13:49:04 its only the start, the apocalypse is upon us. all electronic equipment will fail (but nokia tablets will last longer) Nov 23 13:53:15 ~seen johnx Nov 23 13:53:17 johnx was last seen on IRC in channel #maemo, 2d 14h 46m 8s ago, saying: 'heh...easy enough to go off grid. I just climb a 1200 and bam, no geolocation :)'. Nov 23 13:54:13 Maybe the zombie apocalypse started in Japan? Nov 23 13:55:00 with those nukes dropped on it, no surprises.. Nov 23 13:55:15 yeah, but they were trying to save the world Nov 23 13:55:21 nothing else would kill godzilla Nov 23 13:56:25 einsteins desk looks like my work dask, and his chalkboard looks like my nokia http://images.google.com/hosted/life/f?q=einstein+source:life&imgurl=f24fb48539799666 Nov 23 13:56:59 i wonder how he wouldv coped with a multitouch interactive board Nov 23 13:57:22 he would have smashed it in anger occasionally probably Nov 23 13:57:23 :P Nov 23 13:58:14 nahhh, he would have been able to assemble his equations better Nov 23 13:58:26 and rejig them about without using a board rubber Nov 23 13:59:10 but his achievements are all the more impressive purely because he did it all without computers :) Nov 23 13:59:47 "Internet Tablet Will Die Because a flying zombie attack will take out all the wind farms! " Nov 23 13:59:51 hahahaa Nov 23 14:01:10 i thought we needed a sensible reason why they should die ;) Nov 23 14:01:52 i'd go for the magnetic poles shifting or something Nov 23 14:02:58 well a magnetic flip wouldnt instantly kill the tablets Nov 23 14:03:17 unless it caused the penguins to begin a mass migration across the planet breeding along the way Nov 23 14:03:55 march of the penguins - at least it would be year of tux on the desktop, and on the fridge and in your kitchen and on your roof and crushing you underfoot Nov 23 14:04:30 perhaps you could use your tablet as a penguin beating device, they have sharp edges Nov 23 14:04:52 or reflect the sunlight from the screen and dazzle the marching penguins of death Nov 23 14:05:58 i might make an animated gif of this scenario, it would highlight the dangers to the world of a magnetic pole reversal Nov 23 14:06:11 yes, you should Nov 23 14:06:32 warn people before its too late Nov 23 14:06:58 whats the gestation period for migrating penguins? Nov 23 14:07:33 and once they reach a certain threshhold would they begin to die out due to overpopulation and not enough food? Nov 23 14:07:57 would the southern penguins fight with the northern penguins when they reached the equator? Nov 23 14:08:18 and can we breed anything which will stop this impending doom? Nov 23 14:09:46 do penguins prefer to move through water or waddle through grassland? ie would we be safer running for the hills or finding a small unpopulated island somewhere? Nov 23 14:10:17 multiouch ... http://wearables.unisa.edu.au/mpx/ Nov 23 14:10:38 oh wait, multi-ouch is something different Nov 23 14:11:29 multi-ouch is what happens when disoriented flying zombie penguins attack Nov 23 14:11:44 BE PREPARED! Nov 23 14:12:19 hiya lbt Nov 23 14:12:23 afternoon Nov 23 14:12:41 not been around much... work and stuff Nov 23 14:12:58 plus I reinstalled my PC Nov 23 14:13:08 so I'm about to setup scratchbox again Nov 23 14:14:18 afernoon lbt Nov 23 14:14:19 ewww, i want a faster tablet, i hate thinking about boxes inside boxes Nov 23 14:14:45 full native on device compilation, Stskeeps you have a beagle, how much faster is gcc on that than gcc on n8x0 Nov 23 14:14:55 hi Stskeeps Nov 23 14:15:48 * Stskeeps continues buildin' Nov 23 14:17:09 Stskeeps, have you not tried compilation on your beagle? Nov 23 14:17:18 lcuk: i have Nov 23 14:17:35 how well does it work Nov 23 14:17:40 lcuk: but it's sitting in front of me instead of it's rightful place on top of the server Nov 23 14:17:52 it works quite well Nov 23 14:18:05 i have had some MMC troubles though, but that might just be because i've abused them Nov 23 14:18:18 hopefully it will mean i can jump to c++ easily, i still wonder how long it would take to build something like qt Nov 23 14:18:45 mm Nov 23 14:26:47 Meiz_n810: btw Mer is going a little slow these days while we get things running sanely :) just so you dont think we gave up :P Nov 23 14:27:48 ok Nov 23 14:28:40 Stskeeps: you are building with BB? Nov 23 14:29:00 beagleboard? Nov 23 14:29:02 i will from tomorrow Nov 23 14:29:05 yep Nov 23 14:29:07 ok Nov 23 14:29:09 right now i'm getting things working on i386 firsst Nov 23 14:29:15 ok Nov 23 14:29:35 do you have hasty or jaunty on BB? Nov 23 14:30:52 it'll be a jaunty chroot im building out of Nov 23 14:31:16 hmm, nitapps is down and has some stuff not in extras(-devel) and it's not on the pls to be migrating to extras list Nov 23 14:32:18 X-Fade: ^ ? Nov 23 14:32:28 Stskeeps: why chroot? Nov 23 14:33:18 then again most of the stuff is tiny command line status tools, but, interesting Nov 23 14:33:38 sp3000, the guy doesn't listen to extras requests. GeneralAntilles asked a lot for the maintainer of that repo to put easyroot in extras but got ignored so I just made rootsh for example Nov 23 14:34:23 Meiz_n810: well. the way packages ought to be built is through a --variant=buildd, where you build the source inside and you know it won't conflict with other things Nov 23 14:34:39 hmm, the wiki page doesn't have any examples of fail status does it ;) Nov 23 14:34:39 so each time you compile it extracts a snapshot and compiles inside the chroot Nov 23 14:34:44 oh well Nov 23 14:35:16 Meiz_n810: and you're sure that way that the package has right build dependancies, etc Nov 23 14:35:24 ok Nov 23 14:36:14 Meiz_n810: saw http://merbuilder.jaiku.com/? Nov 23 14:36:36 yep Nov 23 14:37:14 with http://trac.tspre.org:8000/libhildonmime_jaunty-i386-1227450257.log as an example of a build log Nov 23 14:39:59 ok Nov 23 14:52:42 * Stskeeps notes that nokia has done quite an effort in translations as well Nov 23 14:55:30 Hi Nov 23 14:58:38 hi gnuton Nov 23 15:08:11 hey Stskeeps Nov 23 15:18:53 * Stskeeps wonders idly when he will get banned from stage.maemo.org for checking so much out.. Nov 23 15:34:46 ley lcuk, cheers! ;) Nov 23 15:34:54 :D Nov 23 15:35:46 as for being so drunk that one wonder how one got home, been there, done that, woke up in the garage... Nov 23 15:36:28 heh Nov 23 15:36:46 ive never actually gotten lost, ive got a good homing signal Nov 23 15:36:51 even if i cant walk Nov 23 15:37:03 afternoon lcuk :) Nov 23 15:37:21 RST38h, why have you removed my flying zombie death scenario? Nov 23 15:37:24 hi pupnik Nov 23 15:37:29 and RST38h et al Nov 23 15:38:25 i wonder if anyone will discover the wonderful world of internet tablets now, by googling 'flying zombie death' Nov 23 15:39:01 i was gonna expand upon it and explain that when the magnetic poles invert it will be flying zombie penguin death Nov 23 15:39:16 year of linux on the desktop and everything else Nov 23 15:41:51 today is the last sunday of the christian calendar year, the day of the dead Nov 23 15:42:08 o rly? Nov 23 15:43:34 yeh. what U up to? Nov 23 15:44:08 just idling, gonna go n clean the fishtank in a minute Nov 23 15:46:06 mmmmm, fish poo Nov 23 15:46:23 hi qwerty12 ! Nov 23 15:46:32 hey, hi pupnik Nov 23 15:48:04 * Stskeeps groans over hildon-1 not being updated publically Nov 23 15:48:11 hildon-pannable-area.h is missing it seems Nov 23 15:50:05 * qwerty12 curses at the top of his voice at his mpd build not working and gdb for being a pita Nov 23 15:50:59 qwerty12: sb nightmares? Nov 23 15:51:12 mmm, pita Nov 23 15:51:46 Stskeeps, I'm actually running gdb on the device (and I've made sure the debug symbols were not stripped) but I get zilch when doing a backtrace Nov 23 15:55:31 ah Nov 23 16:07:06 Ha, mpd 0.14~alpha3-2 is shit. I just built mpd-0.13.0 and it works fine Nov 23 16:20:03 heh, neat, mesh support in stlc45xx Nov 23 16:20:07 this could be fun at a summit Nov 23 16:21:50 and for many interesting tech demos Nov 23 16:22:12 indeed Nov 23 16:22:42 Stskeeps: have the OLPC devs done anything useful with mesh that we could drop into tablets? Nov 23 16:23:34 not sure, maybe Nov 23 16:25:52 moo all Nov 23 16:26:02 ello RST38h Nov 23 16:26:12 pupnik: Where are you gonna get a usable mesh of NITs? Nov 23 16:26:59 maemo summit ;> Nov 23 16:27:03 BTW http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/4232/nkarts001mn9.jpg Nov 23 16:27:19 lecture hall in the future.. Nov 23 16:27:19 :P Nov 23 16:27:28 the bus Nov 23 16:27:29 :P Nov 23 16:28:52 or perhaps future other portable devices with mesh support? Nov 23 16:28:55 * Stskeeps ponders why the hell nokia didn't put some of the stuff in HAL instead, like, backlihght Nov 23 16:29:45 how to change the umask in maemo? Nov 23 16:30:01 chmod ? Nov 23 16:30:07 so all files user creates are writeble by the group? Nov 23 16:30:25 pupnik: you have to have enough of them Nov 23 16:30:43 error: Afaik this gets inherited from the directory permissions Nov 23 16:31:16 RST38h: if nokia phones start having wifi with mesh.. Nov 23 16:31:24 then the % certainly goes up in my country Nov 23 16:31:52 mesh would be a great thing :) Nov 23 16:31:52 They already have wifi Nov 23 16:32:03 And wifi can be used in mesh mode with some effort Nov 23 16:32:04 hm? Nov 23 16:32:05 what? Nov 23 16:32:13 Yet do you see anyone use that? Nov 23 16:32:14 ahhhhwww screw you RST38h Nov 23 16:32:27 stop using words as nicks, it's sily Nov 23 16:32:27 hehehe Nov 23 16:32:29 +l Nov 23 16:32:30 :P Nov 23 16:32:44 Andy80: stlc45xx has a mesh patch for it Nov 23 16:33:11 http://ask.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/11/23/1447251&from=rss === hehehe, finally people start seeing that "open source business model" only works in Eric Raymond's mind Nov 23 16:33:25 Stskeeps, what is stlc45xx? Nov 23 16:34:30 Andy80: the open source driver for the wifi chip in n8x0 Nov 23 16:34:51 oh right. I didn't remember the name Nov 23 16:36:05 RST38h: yeah, but on the other hand there's no such thing as a free meal.. it's slightly less costly for open source developers to copy an existing design, that was spent time on designing and developing Nov 23 16:36:16 than Nov 23 16:37:40 Stskeeps: Doesn't matter from the point of view of a developer making money on the design Nov 23 16:38:16 Stskeeps: Once event occurs (i.e. somebody copies his stuff in a free product), the original guy loses his business, whatever the reasons for that initial copying are Nov 23 16:38:36 Stskeeps: have you tested xserver-xfbdev? Nov 23 16:38:39 Meiz_n810: nop Nov 23 16:38:42 The only real "open source business model" is to take open source software and use it to make money, that's all Nov 23 16:39:43 and focus on service instead and individual user requests? Nov 23 16:39:55 (and hw) Nov 23 16:40:41 Yes Nov 23 16:41:01 Focus on whatever, as long as it is not sw development Nov 23 16:41:33 You can go SUSE or Redhat road by compiling lots of OSS onto a CD and selling it Nov 23 16:42:01 Or you can do service stuff (like using Asterisk to do VoIP) Nov 23 16:42:30 how does that work with bread on table for the workers? (developers), though? :P Nov 23 16:42:51 It does not Nov 23 16:42:57 That is the whole point. Nov 23 16:43:22 heh Nov 23 16:43:24 Developers are basically left with enabling and/or customization Nov 23 16:43:49 * Stskeeps is getting paid for oss work that enables higher level solutions, and is fairly happy about that. Nov 23 16:46:03 nice Stskeeps Nov 23 16:46:37 Stskeeps: The problem with enabling/customization stuff is that it is often intermittent Nov 23 16:47:16 RST38h: i did custom coding for a while when i was a teen, on top of my oss product.. it was good as a teen but when you have to pay rent, food, etc, it doesn't work out Nov 23 16:47:36 i make more sitting in my office for a day than i got in a month usually Nov 23 16:47:37 :P Nov 23 16:52:38 Sts: yep Nov 23 16:53:24 Sts: Actually, custom development pays off pretty well but it is not permanent Nov 23 16:53:24 reminds me of that classic dilbert Nov 23 16:54:31 http://www.cs.umu.se/~dva00nco/ubicomp/bilder/dilbert3.jpg Nov 23 16:54:47 i wonder if there's a idea of open source but not distributing publically Nov 23 16:54:48 is anyone using ext2 on a flash card around now? Nov 23 16:55:09 pupnik: hehe :P Nov 23 16:55:39 error_developer_: i have ext2 on flash on my 770 Nov 23 16:56:09 pupnik: i 'm figuring out how to get the file permissions sorted Nov 23 16:56:36 * konttori_ updated his latest blog post to point to ukmp 1.81 version. http://konttoristhoughts.blogspot.com/ Nov 23 16:56:39 so the user can write to it when it's connected to the linux pc Nov 23 16:57:14 and then it could be deleted when it's disconnected from the pc Nov 23 16:57:55 pupnik: you know what i mean .. Nov 23 16:58:15 i added a gorup and a user with id 29999 on the linux pc Nov 23 16:58:32 they can read it now.. Nov 23 16:58:39 yeah was going to suggest that Nov 23 16:58:54 but still it's a bit messy Nov 23 16:58:59 not sure where umask gets set on ITOS Nov 23 16:59:09 used to be in .login / .cshrc back in.. oh 1988 Nov 23 16:59:17 :/ Nov 23 16:59:27 yeah ..i use csh actually Nov 23 16:59:32 tcsh Nov 23 16:59:52 but it's on my production machine Nov 23 17:00:32 i could sort it out vwith NFS Nov 23 17:00:56 but there is no network there, only USB Nov 23 17:01:04 looks pretty konttori_ Nov 23 17:01:27 thanks. I like it quite a bit. Nov 23 17:02:10 konttori_: how about ukmp and uktube on x86 linux? Nov 23 17:04:29 where would system icons and program icons be kept? Nov 23 17:04:32 what directory? Nov 23 17:04:37 (Diablo) Nov 23 17:06:59 /usr/share/icons/scalable/hildon (something like that) Nov 23 17:07:24 k thanks, missed the /icons Nov 23 17:12:04 cant find system icons? Nov 23 17:12:11 the browser, chat, programs.. one Nov 23 17:15:11 i recall there being a number of directories where they could be Nov 23 17:16:41 this would do for now isuppose Nov 23 17:16:53 making them all grayscale Nov 23 17:23:48 it might be nifty if one could someday do color-adjustment on-the-fly of themes Nov 23 17:24:02 but that's quite 'verspielt' Nov 23 17:28:55 if NIT themes were all done in 4 colors like Amiga desktop, it would be possible Nov 23 17:51:46 penguinbait: the new stuff looks good, thumbs up Nov 23 17:52:20 thanks, did you install it? Nov 23 17:52:51 nop, not yet Nov 23 17:53:03 busy working on Mer package building :P Nov 23 17:55:38 Its working great, you can backup any partition to any partition, including usb disk. Nov 23 17:55:50 I need to figure out how to get usb boot working next Nov 23 17:55:57 any way that you could be convinced to maybe start employing bootmenu items? it's in bootmenu svn so Nov 23 17:56:21 quite easy to work with if you know which is internal and which is external Nov 23 17:56:51 makes different combinations of clone/alternate OS/etc much easier Nov 23 17:56:59 error_developer_: you can use both on x86 linux Nov 23 17:57:03 they are python Nov 23 17:57:26 however, the latest ukmp needs a small change to work on non-rotated mode Nov 23 17:57:47 not sure what your getting at sts? Nov 23 17:58:05 what do you mean? "any way that you could be convinced to maybe start employing bootmenu items?" Nov 23 17:59:54 penguinbait: ah - basically, instead of regenerating bootmenu.conf with new stuff all the time, we have a system where you on maemo write a bootmenu item to /etc/bootmenu.d/.item, with the info about what needs to be booted Nov 23 18:00:12 and then run refresh_bootmenu.d to update the bootmenu item list in initfs Nov 23 18:00:34 so you wold make a maemo-cloned.item for example Nov 23 18:00:38 Sts thats a great idea, but you should talk to Fanoush about that Nov 23 18:00:40 which would then appear in the bootmenu Nov 23 18:00:48 penguinbait: .. it's in bootmenu garage svn Nov 23 18:00:48 :P Nov 23 18:00:54 trust me, i've talked to him about this :) Nov 23 18:01:02 hehe Nov 23 18:01:37 in the coming months we will definately see more alternative OS'es as everyone and their brother is porting to ARM Nov 23 18:02:01 so it's just looking at the problem preemptively :) Nov 23 18:02:09 svn also has a bootmenu .deb builder Nov 23 18:02:38 well, a package that actually builds :P Nov 23 18:02:50 Well my new tools, allow you to have 6 partitions per SD card right now, and it allows you to select the items to include bootmenu Nov 23 18:03:31 yeah - and in this case you wouldn't have a limit as you can add items easily, and don't have to scan every time for partitions and such Nov 23 18:03:55 as when your tool adds a cloned OS, it simply adds the item Nov 23 18:04:32 or at least a check mark to decide to include it Nov 23 18:04:55 I agree it would be cool, but I am not the "one" ;) Nov 23 18:05:22 hm? :P Nov 23 18:06:33 so what does Fanoush say when you talk to him? Nov 23 18:08:19 .. i have commit to the bootmenu garage svn, the patch has been there for ages now, works for deblet, and we're discussing a bit how to include bootmenu in extras and such currently as part of a possible community edition of maemo where clone to SD, etc would be a part of the community edition.. Nov 23 18:08:57 the problem isn't so much the bootmenu.d system, the problem is that we haven't had a good reason to release a new tar.gz/deb yet Nov 23 18:10:21 so what still needs to be done? Nov 23 18:10:25 btw if bootmenu.conf found instead bootmenu.d can i add item there? Nov 23 18:10:59 penguinbait: i'm asking if you're interested in using the bootmenu.d item system in your scripts for cloning, etc Nov 23 18:11:22 If you build it they will come Nov 23 18:11:31 absolutely Nov 23 18:11:33 as in them generating bootmenu.d items instead of rebuilding bootmenu.conf Nov 23 18:11:36 its way cleaner Nov 23 18:11:43 .. it is built Nov 23 18:12:12 I gotta run, send me pm, or I talk later Nov 23 18:12:13 hahlobit: yeah, bootmenu.conf is a script itself, in svn it loads items from /etc/bootmenu.d/ on initfs Nov 23 18:12:16 alright..

Nov 23 23:20:16 lcuk, cuz i've said some pretty fucked up stuff :P Nov 23 23:20:49 yes, but your noise to unruly signal ratio isnt that bad Nov 23 23:20:58 crashanddie: yep Nov 23 23:21:30 lcuk, yeah well, it's not like I'm one of the driving forces behind #maemo or anything Nov 23 23:21:44 I'm just one of the in-house trolls we keep for amusement Nov 23 23:22:59 yeah :P but you were bought out in a corporate coup Nov 23 23:23:09 anyway, at some point my manager introduces me to the whole company, he asked me to write a small biography, sent an email to EVERYONE with a biography that had nothing to do with what I had sent him in the first place Nov 23 23:23:41 I get a few replies, one asking "what Open Source projects did you work on, as said in your biography?" Nov 23 23:24:14 * lcuk is confused Nov 23 23:24:21 i thought you were there to do security? Nov 23 23:24:29 I am Nov 23 23:24:33 it was just an introduction Nov 23 23:25:51 "err... CarbonPHP? liqbase? Well, to be honest, I did more consulting for liqbase than real work", the bloke replied "never did anything for significant Open Source projects?", I'm quite cross, I reply "I'm very sorry, but I think you'll find liqbase bloody well is a significant project" Nov 23 23:26:27 lol Nov 23 23:26:43 well tyvm for support, but even i know in the grand scene liqbase is piddly Nov 23 23:26:48 crashanddie's a poser open source contributor. Nov 23 23:27:16 that evening, at the pub, one of the guys asks "So Seb, I get the feeling you like to swear quite a bit?" me: "fuck yeah", him: "no, cuz your 'bloody open source project' email was copied to the whole company" Nov 23 23:27:34 Ahaha Nov 23 23:27:36 Poor bastard Nov 23 23:27:54 :D nice Nov 23 23:27:57 ill check for hits Nov 23 23:28:19 The thing is Nov 23 23:28:33 Yeah, I actually might be an open source contributor poser Nov 23 23:28:43 in a sense, for the past 6 months that's all that I've been Nov 23 23:29:19 Well, there's only one solution for that. Use your remaining 7 hours a day to provide patches to Maemo. Nov 23 23:29:31 what remaining 7 hours? Nov 23 23:29:50 The sleeping ones. Nov 23 23:29:53 I want to sleep a bit Nov 23 23:29:58 fuck it Nov 23 23:30:01 nothing major on the radar, but there is one hit from google that came to me "liqbase sebastian bloody" Nov 23 23:30:02 :D Nov 23 23:30:14 wtf?

Nov 23 23:35:20 how is liqbase coming down? Nov 23 23:35:30 What is new, what you working on, what are the next milestones? Nov 23 23:36:26 (yeah, well the whole company is closing down for a whole week, so taking an extra week really isn't a bad thing... It's like company spirit to really bust your nuts off the whole year, but it's complete lockdown for christmas... my coworker takes a whole month off) Nov 23 23:36:56 ahh Nov 23 23:37:43 liqbase is in pieces :) ive stripped self right back and im trying to decide something, either make liqtile widgetset properly, or drop liqtile and do everything inside sketches (which are already recursive) Nov 23 23:37:57 ive created the core networking and database code Nov 23 23:38:13 packaging doing fine now? Nov 23 23:38:15 is that fine tuned? Nov 23 23:38:22 i can now talk either directly over ip at main desktop machine sending streaming strokes and points Nov 23 23:38:36 yeah - its as smooth as its gonna be Nov 23 23:38:45 i just stripped eeverything right back Nov 23 23:38:52 do you have a testing cycle before releasing to public? Nov 23 23:39:02 there were a few things i didnt like implemntionation wise and have to document and deal with better Nov 23 23:39:07 Or do you just release on the fly with a "fuck it I'm just playing around" licence? Nov 23 23:39:11 yes a very long drawn out one ;) Nov 23 23:39:20 no, same as before Nov 23 23:39:36 nice and quiet until it grows again Nov 23 23:39:52 ok Nov 23 23:39:59 ill get things right first, then it will come through #liqbase and then into -devel then extras Nov 23 23:39:59 maybe you don't want to talk about this in public Nov 23 23:40:02 news from Nokia? Nov 23 23:40:05 tlaking isnt a problem Nov 23 23:40:14 no Nov 23 23:40:33 so no big contract, no big talks? Nov 23 23:41:05 there is one app i wanted you to see, its nice as well - from a guy called jagernot, hes done his version of pyano with sitar, but its in c and very quick feeling and touchfriendly Nov 23 23:41:06 no Nov 23 23:42:05 bugger Nov 23 23:42:36 you still don't have a phone up there? Nov 23 23:43:06 even worse i left it at dayjob on friday - ive been bare all weekend Nov 23 23:43:18 cock Nov 23 23:53:32 got a n810 wimax and wondering if anyone knows how to use the key bindings to get to the menus Nov 23 23:54:37 Guest69449, could you go into a little more detail? Nov 23 23:55:08 yes, using the slide keyboard is there a way to access the menuing system Nov 23 23:55:13 Ah Nov 23 23:55:23 I think there is, but I don't have an N810 so I couldn't say for sure. Nov 23 23:55:36 There's a keyboard applet in Control Panels that has some shortcuts Nov 23 23:55:38 That might help. Nov 23 23:55:57 Guest69449, why cant u use the screen? Nov 23 23:56:11 i can, just lazy Nov 23 23:56:29 wanted to try and config to use just keyboard for all actions Nov 23 23:57:06 its probably running X so maybe theres a default key binding or maybe some Nov 23 23:57:21 has a software tool to overide? Nov 23 23:59:56 Yeah, but I'm blanking on the name. Nov 24 00:00:56 would it be on maemo.org? Nov 24 00:01:49 Probably, but not sure. **** ENDING LOGGING AT Thu Nov 27 00:45:18 2008
