**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sat Dec 06 02:59:57 2008 Dec 06 05:43:48 hi Dec 06 05:47:44 anyone get all the way through hex-a-bop? that fuckin' game is so hard, playing it is like work Dec 06 05:48:44 WormFood: never played it, is it good ? Dec 06 05:48:44 hey corq-FL, where abouts in florida are you from? Dec 06 05:49:02 I find it rather enjoyable, for the most part, but some of the levels are just crazy hard Dec 06 05:49:42 it appears there is 100 levels...I'm not 100% sure about that....but every level I complete, it says I'm that percentage done...20 levels = 20% finished Dec 06 05:50:07 I like good logic puzzles Dec 06 05:50:19 i'll install it Dec 06 05:51:39 I always enjoyed logic puzzles as a kid Dec 06 05:52:03 i rather prefer fps Dec 06 05:52:05 lol Dec 06 05:52:25 I find most FPS boring Dec 06 05:52:45 numptyphysics is also good to play on NIT's Dec 06 05:52:46 DN3D was fun, as was Unreal Tournament (the original one), and the first quake Dec 06 05:52:58 yeah, that is fun too, but not enough levels Dec 06 05:53:07 We need to start a tablet-only server for Q3 when the N900 comes out. . . . Dec 06 05:53:41 also, I have creative ways win on numptyphysics, that isn't always what the designer envisioned Dec 06 05:54:14 yeah Dec 06 06:03:12 andrewfblack, ping. Dec 06 06:11:52 GeneralAntilles whats up Dec 06 06:12:05 So, about minimalist Dec 06 06:12:16 yeah I want to redue it for new site Dec 06 06:12:24 full features Dec 06 06:12:27 The new maemo.org theme for itT is going to be a _LOT_ lighter than itT's existing theme. Dec 06 06:12:41 light enough to only need one theme Dec 06 06:12:46 INdT is currently working on the design right now Dec 06 06:13:00 Well, probably, but choice doesn't hurt. ;) Dec 06 06:13:10 Hang on, let me grab a link Dec 06 06:13:28 http://wiki.maemo.org/Image:HOME510.png Dec 06 06:13:31 I just love 1 with no images at all for use over cell phone Dec 06 06:13:33 That's the latest mockup. Dec 06 06:14:14 So, if you either want to update minimalist's colors and header to match that Dec 06 06:14:41 or get on maemo-community and discuss the changes Dec 06 06:14:48 But, yeah, I think it should be an option. Dec 06 06:14:56 cool Dec 06 06:16:11 I'll work on a redesign I really don't like the menu I have for minimalist theme right now either Dec 06 06:16:36 I'd recommend subscribing to maemo-community (if you aren't already) and discussing it some there Dec 06 06:16:47 ok Dec 06 06:16:49 As you'll likely get a lot of input. Dec 06 06:17:08 But I definitely think it should be included. Dec 06 06:19:04 andrewfblack, actually, my initial thought when we first started talking about the move was "We should talk to andrewfblack for the new theme". :P Dec 06 06:25:27 lol Its good to be though of I wish I could do more but for the community but my software programming skills are weak Dec 06 06:26:04 Meh, so are mine. :P Dec 06 06:26:41 and see how far you have come Dec 06 06:28:53 I have been wanting to do a new minimalist theme for awhile just never could get Reggie into it Dec 06 06:32:40 hehe Dec 06 06:33:08 in the meantime, I'm still working on handwriting recognition Dec 06 06:33:27 i forgot my n810 charger at work Dec 06 06:33:58 GeneralAntilles When is new site going to launch Dec 06 06:34:04 and I'd like to ask if you'd prefer a ui like epitext (the current one) or something with a standard textbox Dec 06 06:34:51 with live correction too... (mouse-driven textbox :P) Dec 06 06:35:10 andrewfblack, no date, but it'll probably be January or February Dec 06 06:35:14 I mean separate recognized text and written text, instead of replacing Dec 06 06:35:18 Likely to coincide with the new site launch Dec 06 06:35:46 cool Dec 06 06:35:53 AStorm, I want Newton-style where I can write anywhere. :P Dec 06 06:36:11 GeneralAntilles, hmm Dec 06 06:36:40 possible, if you can hook up "showing" a window and hiding it Dec 06 06:36:53 I could synthesize X input events Dec 06 06:37:02 which should work anywhere Dec 06 06:37:07 Probably not worth pursing Dec 06 06:37:23 pity matchbox can't do proper window management Dec 06 06:37:24 But replacing works for me Dec 06 06:37:39 for me, it works so-so Dec 06 06:37:58 hm Dec 06 06:38:18 maybe I'll add "tap to pick next possibility" Dec 06 06:39:11 letter and even maybe word Dec 06 06:39:40 that would be more t9 or newton style, right? Dec 06 06:39:59 the most important change is that now *you* add symbols :> Dec 06 06:40:17 so, I will finally be able to recognize Polish diacritics Dec 06 06:41:45 should hildon-desktop be tak 31mb ram? Dec 06 06:41:48 that, and a better algorithm (already works better, w/o a dictionary :P) Dec 06 06:42:18 zakkm, no, here it grabs 11M Dec 06 06:42:29 for me its taking 31mb Dec 06 06:42:54 Astorm: newest Diablo? Dec 06 06:43:04 yes Dec 06 06:43:28 uh oh Dec 06 06:43:42 why is mine taking so much Dec 06 06:43:45 23-14 Dec 06 06:43:52 How many applets? :\ Dec 06 06:44:35 so, 2008.36-5 here Dec 06 06:44:45 GeneralAntilles Dec 06 06:44:48 on desktop , only 1 Dec 06 06:44:51 the normal clock Dec 06 06:44:59 I have omweather, search, clock Dec 06 06:45:01 Statusbar, taskbar?

Dec 06 06:45:23 no Dec 06 06:45:27 load-applet Dec 06 06:45:29 list processes Dec 06 06:46:40 here too Dec 06 06:46:51 btw, who has htop for diablo? Dec 06 06:47:05 probably would be the same as chinook? Dec 06 06:47:08 Probably in the Tools repo Dec 06 06:47:09 htop is very small :P Dec 06 06:47:19 it doesnt compile i dont think Dec 06 06:47:24 GeneralAntilles, tools? where is that? Dec 06 06:47:46 http://maemo.org/development/tools/ Dec 06 06:48:10 hmm, news Dec 06 06:48:26 so Astorm: it says 11mb in load-applet for you? Dec 06 06:48:28 I should subscribe to some feed to keep myself updated Dec 06 06:48:29 for hildon-desktop? Dec 06 06:48:34 zakkm, yes Dec 06 06:48:40 damn Dec 06 06:48:43 ill try rebooting Dec 06 06:49:08 was thinking of reflashing Dec 06 06:49:18 and just getting the stuff i want this time, rather than trying new stuff Dec 06 06:49:33 GeneralAntilles, 0ity there's no gvim in there Dec 06 06:49:38 *pity Dec 06 06:49:44 GeneralAntilles: you think LCARS could of caused the huge "memory leak" Dec 06 06:49:53 Doubtful Dec 06 06:49:56 hildon desktop is now 16mb Dec 06 06:50:03 somethings leaking ;p Dec 06 06:50:19 weird, here nothing is apparently Dec 06 06:50:25 except microb Dec 06 06:50:27 :P Dec 06 06:50:34 its a browser though Dec 06 06:50:37 i dont mind that Dec 06 06:50:38 but that is fixed with restarting it Dec 06 06:50:47 but hildon-desktop cant be restarted :P Dec 06 06:50:55 pity it doesn't support sessions Dec 06 06:51:14 * zakkm adds to wishlist for mer :) Dec 06 06:51:28 Sure it can Dec 06 06:51:32 killall hildon-desktop Dec 06 06:51:37 GeneralAntilles, haha Dec 06 06:51:42 almost a reboot Dec 06 06:52:05 and won't it enter "safe-mode" and disable all the applets? Dec 06 06:52:06 killall -9 more like it ;p Dec 06 06:52:12 zakkm, wrong Dec 06 06:52:32 hell, why not just STOP it. ;p Dec 06 06:52:37 AStorm, there's a file that it deletes when it closes cleanly Dec 06 06:52:48 mhm Dec 06 06:52:53 if that file's there it start, it starts up with default applets Dec 06 06:52:56 that I know Dec 06 06:53:08 but will sigterm make it remove the file? Dec 06 06:53:12 yeah Dec 06 06:53:15 it says 17mb now Dec 06 06:53:16 Dunno Dec 06 06:53:17 theres a leak :P Dec 06 06:53:25 They're easy enough to re-enable anyway Dec 06 06:53:28 not if you killall -9 :D Dec 06 06:53:48 GeneralAntilles, not if you're running 10 or more:> Dec 06 06:54:02 oh wow Dec 06 06:54:06 you can kill hildon-desktop :D Dec 06 06:54:12 :P Dec 06 06:54:26 I wish it weren't so nastily put together Dec 06 06:54:28 oh yeah its so memory-leaked Dec 06 06:54:29 anyway, we need something less broken than matchbox too Dec 06 06:54:38 hopefully the applets will move to their own processes soon. Dec 06 06:54:39 GeneralAntilles, oh, indeed Dec 06 06:54:51 I can't figure out the init system Dec 06 06:54:54 Which, I think they're planning on fixing at some point. Dec 06 06:54:57 want to add a script Dec 06 06:55:03 yet it doesn't work Dec 06 06:55:21 upstart in Fremantle Dec 06 06:55:44 GeneralAntilles, wouldn't it be as easy as a system("some-applet")? Dec 06 06:56:21 or are they done in a hacky plugin way? Dec 06 06:56:49 (then it would be threading to fix it, or clone syscall) Dec 06 06:58:03 (plus some signal watchdog) Dec 06 06:58:21 how did you get yours to take 11mb Dec 06 06:58:31 i think thats why my nokia is slow, goes into swap so fast Dec 06 06:58:33 eh, why oh why can't I have unlimited time... Dec 06 06:58:37 zakkm, nothing at all Dec 06 06:58:56 exactly, I'm running xchat here, browser, terminal etc. Dec 06 06:59:02 did you clone from sd ? Dec 06 06:59:04 pidgin Dec 06 06:59:07 no Dec 06 06:59:10 it's jffs2 Dec 06 06:59:51 personally, I'd use device-manager instead if going to such a low level Dec 06 07:00:03 ? Dec 06 07:00:07 device-manager? Dec 06 07:00:08 and raid0 the partitions Dec 06 07:00:11 yup Dec 06 07:00:43 i dont get it :( Dec 06 07:00:51 get 512M of space (about) for system Dec 06 07:00:58 and rest unraided for stuff Dec 06 07:01:19 AStorm, did you see: https://stage.maemo.org/svn/maemo/projects/haf/trunk/ke-recv/src/fremantle-format-internal-memory-card.sh ? Dec 06 07:01:44 I did reformat my card manually Dec 06 07:02:07 as per ITT Dec 06 07:02:34 where is {1} < -- defined? Dec 06 07:02:44 commandline Dec 06 07:02:49 first arg Dec 06 07:03:04 GeneralAntilles, "o, they're now making partitions? Dec 06 07:03:15 what for? Dec 06 07:03:31 swap partitions are overrated and pointless Dec 06 07:03:41 Well, more interesting is the size Dec 06 07:03:43 ohh Dec 06 07:03:44 swap partitions are so 1996 Dec 06 07:03:50 wanted to ask if you dont mind Dec 06 07:03:52 swapfiles are just as fast... unless there is hibernation... Dec 06 07:04:10 if i leave my nokia idle, does it matter that i leave stuff open much Dec 06 07:04:14 GeneralAntilles, hmm, indeed Dec 06 07:04:19 a bit too large Dec 06 07:04:19 or should i close everything, if leaving it for more than like 20min Dec 06 07:04:32 zakkm, shouldn't Dec 06 07:04:33 AStorm, too large for what, though? 512MB of RAM? :P Dec 06 07:04:42 i've left it idle with crap running for days Dec 06 07:04:48 GeneralAntilles, no, for the mmc chip Dec 06 07:05:05 they must've added a new one... Dec 06 07:05:24 so, the next device will have 3G internal mem and 512 MB ram Dec 06 07:05:24 i'm sad my n810 doesnt have the epicly huge operating time on battery it had for the firt week after i got it back from repairs Dec 06 07:05:28 cause im thinking its better to get things from systray Dec 06 07:05:33 than to open them Dec 06 07:05:34 AStorm, well, that all adds up to 2.75GB, so it's certainly bigger than the N810's. :P Dec 06 07:05:50 512mb ram Dec 06 07:05:51 wtf Dec 06 07:05:53 n900? Ä:P Dec 06 07:05:56 that would run maemo so well :P Dec 06 07:06:00 3420 and 512mb ram ;p Dec 06 07:06:13 that would run full Xfce well Dec 06 07:06:15 forget optimizations :) Dec 06 07:06:20 screw xfce ;p Dec 06 07:06:31 xfce is nicer for small screen Dec 06 07:06:32 There's a variety of other plausible explanations, of course, but it does suggest more than 256MB Dec 06 07:06:35 tested myself Dec 06 07:06:37 hello ipod touch like interface :P lol Dec 06 07:06:48 GeneralAntilles, yup, like, hibernation Dec 06 07:06:59 zakkm, nah, better Dec 06 07:07:00 if i wanted an ipod touch like interface i'd buy an ipod touch :p Dec 06 07:07:12 lol Dec 06 07:07:14 ipod touch has a mediocre interface Dec 06 07:07:16 i just need to afford the n97 to stuck in my pocket with my n810 Dec 06 07:07:33 n900 with gprs quad modem? Dec 06 07:07:37 gimme! Dec 06 07:07:51 (and don't lose wifi) Dec 06 07:07:57 (or bluetooth) Dec 06 07:08:01 N97 fails to excite Dec 06 07:08:04 Symbian just plain sucks Dec 06 07:08:15 welll... yes Dec 06 07:08:45 AStorm, a Nokia exec mentioned Linux as a possible alternative to Symbian for Nokia's high-end phones in the future Dec 06 07:08:49 well it would be nicer with maemo Dec 06 07:08:56 http://www.reuters.com/article/technologyNews/idUSTRE4B16IO20081202 Dec 06 07:08:56 but i still like the n97 Dec 06 07:09:12 Maemo as it stands right now will suck for phones Dec 06 07:09:25 not suck enough Dec 06 07:09:27 so does android, but that doesnt stop anyone Dec 06 07:09:33 just need a good phone app Dec 06 07:09:34 Why would it suck? Dec 06 07:09:45 something for sms/mms Dec 06 07:09:46 AStorm <-- correct Dec 06 07:09:49 and calls Dec 06 07:10:07 decent contacts app too Dec 06 07:10:14 rest is already there Dec 06 07:10:15 lol, even if it did sms and no calls i'ditch my phone Dec 06 07:10:19 You can't suck harder as a phone than WinMobile. Yet, it is everywhere. Dec 06 07:10:30 :> Dec 06 07:10:33 microb javascript needs to be faster ;p Dec 06 07:10:49 zakkm, next device will have OMAP 3 Dec 06 07:10:56 so, the point is moot :P Dec 06 07:10:58 i cant afford it Dec 06 07:10:59 RST38h, apple sure is trying hard Dec 06 07:11:03 only got n800 cause i found it for $145 Dec 06 07:11:08 heh Dec 06 07:11:19 then port a webkit broser Dec 06 07:11:24 *browser Dec 06 07:11:33 Webkit has been ported to Maemo already Dec 06 07:11:39 theres tear or something Dec 06 07:11:43 yep Dec 06 07:11:49 hmm? oh... link? Dec 06 07:11:55 google? =) Dec 06 07:12:02 Or wait for MicroB to be upgraded to a recent Firefox release Dec 06 07:12:22 General: People who tried the beta say it is not significantly better Dec 06 07:12:24 should i wait for fennec/microb update? Dec 06 07:12:25 and flash too? Dec 06 07:12:28 Crashier - yes Dec 06 07:12:39 RST38h, er, which beta? :\ Dec 06 07:12:44 Fennec Dec 06 07:12:47 i want to be able to use google docs, and it doesnt quite seem worth it the speed its at now Dec 06 07:12:51 RST38h, Fennec != MicroB Dec 06 07:13:03 I haven't noticed Fennec crashing Dec 06 07:13:06 and it's not beta yet Dec 06 07:13:12 Fennec is just about to hit alpha 2 Dec 06 07:13:19 which should have a lot of performance improvements. Dec 06 07:13:20 although its "springy" ui is annoying Dec 06 07:13:23 General: Well, you asked about the most recent FF release and it does not get recentlier than fennec =) Dec 06 07:13:33 RST38h, I didn't "ask" anything Dec 06 07:13:39 I enable the bars instead of scrolling often Dec 06 07:13:39 i like microb :( Dec 06 07:13:39 ok ok Dec 06 07:13:43 except speed of course Dec 06 07:13:49 but the buttons and all Dec 06 07:13:51 microb could use autozoom Dec 06 07:13:57 * RST38h won't argue semantic details with a wikipedian :() Dec 06 07:14:01 other than that, it's fine Dec 06 07:14:41 MicroB flash plugin times itself by busy-looping on gettimeofday() Dec 06 07:14:52 yup Dec 06 07:15:02 feature and ui, microb is fine :) Dec 06 07:15:09 * zakkm hates speed of microb ;p Dec 06 07:15:18 speed is ok Dec 06 07:15:18 And, also, "fit to width" feature has to be fixed (but not removed, hopefully) Dec 06 07:15:27 It's gone in Fremantle Dec 06 07:15:28 your webpages just suck :> Dec 06 07:15:28 Speed is fine withme Dec 06 07:15:37 General: that will suck. Dec 06 07:15:38 lol Dec 06 07:15:46 Not generally, but for a few pages =( Dec 06 07:15:49 would like to goto google docs on it, and engadget Dec 06 07:15:52 and no im not rss reading Dec 06 07:15:55 GeneralAntilles, did they at least add fenneclike zoom? Dec 06 07:16:00 whats with the android 1.0 on n800 ? Dec 06 07:16:07 AStorm, we don't have any UI details yet. Dec 06 07:16:08 zakkm, engadget is ok Dec 06 07:16:17 But, presumably, they're not stupid. :P Dec 06 07:16:35 General: The main usage case for the fit-to-width is really zooming (for better readability) and still having the whole page Dec 06 07:16:49 So, that one will be gone in Fremantle Dec 06 07:17:09 * RST38h has some doubts about the "not stupid" part but will not elaborate. Dec 06 07:17:34 hm Dec 06 07:18:03 it was a nice, although slow, feature Dec 06 07:18:30 * zakkm thinks there is too much hype about fremantle, Dec 06 07:18:37 what hype? Dec 06 07:18:56 i saw on itt forum how like how bugs supposely say like "fixed in fremantle" Dec 06 07:19:05 if you mean "will be all fixed in fremantle" claims, they are neither hype nor right Dec 06 07:19:05 it probably will be as nice as expected Dec 06 07:19:08 and then like new browser for fremantle.. right now Dec 06 07:19:12 Oh, right, that idiotic thread. Dec 06 07:19:26 * RST38h is pretty sure a lot of things will actually get broken in fremantle with no recourse Dec 06 07:19:35 yup Dec 06 07:19:47 bugs have to happen with so many packages and even in one package Dec 06 07:19:50 so, there will be a few bugfix releases Dec 06 07:20:05 like...2? or 3? :) Dec 06 07:20:18 i want performance improvements :) Dec 06 07:20:20 releases, yes Dec 06 07:20:24 upgrades, more Dec 06 07:20:25 though i think mer will beat fremantle release Dec 06 07:20:32 making fremantle release quite worthless lol Dec 06 07:20:32 nah Dec 06 07:20:42 zakkm, Mer wont have Fremantle's UI. Dec 06 07:20:43 zakkm: and you call fremantle "hype"? Dec 06 07:20:57 they changing the ui? Dec 06 07:20:58 I just hope they'll bash skype to make 2.x build for armel Dec 06 07:21:06 some Dec 06 07:21:12 zakkm, quite radically Dec 06 07:21:23 any screenshots Dec 06 07:21:25 or mockups? Dec 06 07:21:29 zakkm, no. Dec 06 07:21:37 so hype? :P Dec 06 07:21:45 zakkm: the best approximation is probably Moblin Dec 06 07:21:47 :roll: Dec 06 07:21:48 hm, so, stupid left bar going away finally? Dec 06 07:21:55 How close approximation we do not know Dec 06 07:22:00 AStorm, likely. Dec 06 07:22:16 Hey, leave that left bar alone!

Dec 06 08:51:34 * Stskeeps points to qwerty12, solca, .. other insane people Dec 06 08:52:29 Stskeeps, I did the old port (with code that wasn't mine) :).

I've a Benq MID S6 that runs on an Intel Atom (x86) cpu and it comes with Midinux. It's linux but as linux user I can't sopport to use such a bad designed software. It comes with kernel 2.6.18-22 and all drivers, kernel, and all software is opensource. I need someone to port drivers to a more recent kernel like 2.6.25 to run android or an decent linux distribution. Can anybod Dec 06 08:55:30 please split up your sentences.. Dec 06 08:55:41 Stskeeps: ok sorry Dec 06 08:56:18 the idea is this: i've kernel 2.6.18-22 and full drivers opensource. I need to port the drivers to a recent kernel like the 2.6.25 Dec 06 08:56:29 FreeSoul, android is for arm afaicr Dec 06 08:56:40 which drivers? Dec 06 08:58:03 AStorm: touchscreen, poulsbo, wifi, gsensor, and so on... some are allready supported... but wifi for example is not, neither the hsdpa module Dec 06 08:58:23 FreeSoul: What is the problem then? Port the drivers and be happy Dec 06 08:58:32 are these binary drivers?

Dec 06 09:02:42 Stskeeps: if you keep touchscreen light down (low, i don't mean switched off) it can last for 5 hours i think... of course it depends on the usage of networking you do... it's not a really long charge... but it's acceptable Dec 06 09:02:43 AStorm: not yet Dec 06 09:02:48 if so, you have to rebuild Xomap vs its headers... Dec 06 09:03:04 or at least video driver Dec 06 09:04:14 AStorm: -omapfb driver Dec 06 09:04:19 but i suspect i might know why now Dec 06 09:04:43 brb sorry Dec 06 09:05:03 Stskeeps, do you have a mer build env done in a nice download form?

Dec 06 11:54:18 would you like it to be a ext2 partition, have a swap partition, be the usual place the OS saves your documents, or? Dec 06 11:54:59 i just want it to be for static pre-installed data - i prefer not to write to it often Dec 06 11:55:08 ill use the external one for that Dec 06 11:55:11 internal mmc, not flash :P Dec 06 11:55:17 yes Dec 06 11:55:28 my 2gb - im happy its for maps mainly Dec 06 11:55:39 liri: iirc, it works Dec 06 11:55:42 Stskeeps: not swap!

Dec 06 11:57:18 Stskeeps: really, I've never even tried to enable swap Dec 06 11:57:38 t_s_o: good to know, I'll try it Dec 06 11:57:59 Stskeeps: i want to have OS in internal MMC, because flash is so small Dec 06 11:58:00 Stskeeps: that would be a reasonable solution Dec 06 11:58:23 Meiz_n810: normally the os stuff is small compared to the stuff in home Dec 06 11:59:04 whats up with that global communication device Dec 06 11:59:24 I always forget the name. the one that replaces the current communication suite with sip and other protocols Dec 06 11:59:39 lardman: 256 jffs2 is too small even if /home is in internal MMC Dec 06 11:59:57 ymmv ;) Dec 06 12:00:05 works for me anyway Dec 06 12:00:11 Meiz_n810: so far we're stuffing 300m in 130mb flash :P Dec 06 12:00:27 yep Dec 06 12:00:48 i would really love something like unionfs.. except that it would fill up internal jffs first, and then flowover to external Dec 06 12:00:52 er, internal mmc partition Dec 06 12:04:58 Stskeeps: is that a problem? Dec 06 12:05:12 hm? Dec 06 12:05:13 and also, I presume it could be told which is the primary partition Dec 06 12:05:19 yeah Dec 06 12:05:24 liri, rtcomm Dec 06 12:06:01 i guess something like raid striping, but for fs's :P Dec 06 12:06:34 so you have flash which ideally shouldn't be touched much (taken care of OS to not wear it -too- much), and MMC external Dec 06 12:06:37 or something Dec 06 12:06:53 Stskeeps: I really wouldn'ty worry about the wear thing Dec 06 12:07:31 * Stskeeps glances at aufs Dec 06 12:08:29 * qwerty12 will always prefer aufs over unionfs on the tablets as you don't need to reflash the kernel Dec 06 12:09:45 what sort of size jpeg image do you want to be able to decode?

Dec 06 17:06:11 * andre__ writes down the words of wisdom from RST38h Dec 06 17:06:41 qwerty12: that is good news Dec 06 17:06:46 RST38h, if it is, you won't hear a word of complaint from me ;P Dec 06 17:06:54 * solca wonders how much performance drops from not calibrating Dec 06 17:09:13 BTW, gPhone is now sold unlocked, for $400 + $25 for developer registration Dec 06 17:09:52 In case anybody feels like writing Java apps at the cost of $425... Dec 06 17:10:16 nah Dec 06 17:10:31 I wouldn't want to write Java apps even if paid to do so Dec 06 17:10:39 unless I'd be paid a lot :P Dec 06 17:11:09 AStorm: There is plenty of people in Mumbai who will be willing to write 'em for less =) Dec 06 17:11:18 Yay, Bugzilla back up for public. Enjoy the party. I want flames! Dec 06 17:11:30 WOOT WOOT Dec 06 17:11:41 * AStorm sets andre__ on fire Dec 06 17:11:52 you wanted flames, right?

Eastern Europe prices are higher so the only reason to outsource to Eastern Europe is when you actually want a developer who can do stuff on his own and explain it in passable English Dec 06 17:14:25 especially jingling Dec 06 17:14:45 RST38h, indeed Dec 06 17:15:03 Otherwise for each of you there are 5 Indians and 50 Chinese willing to do the work, cheaper Dec 06 17:15:10 that's why I'm looking for a nice embedded soft coding job :> Dec 06 17:16:11 * RST38h wonders how long those are gonna last, with so many people being fired stateside... Dec 06 17:16:51 hehe Dec 06 17:17:00 chinese can't write english Dec 06 17:17:05 AStorm: hehe, i hope my n810 will jingle the bells Dec 06 17:17:11 most of them Dec 06 17:17:52 RST38h, here they're still hiring Dec 06 17:18:17 but there's a problem with lack of proper R&D centers Dec 06 17:18:43 so really all the jobs are truly denigrating java orm... Dec 06 17:18:47 or analysis Dec 06 17:18:56 ehh Dec 06 17:19:05 bad country for me Dec 06 17:19:19 should move to Finland or somewhere Dec 06 17:20:17 (prereq is learning Finnish) Dec 06 17:20:43 or to Germany (prereq: improving my weak German) Dec 06 17:20:46 so, meh Dec 06 17:20:53 Dec 06 17:20:55 isn't prereq practising on your vodka drinking skills?

Dec 06 17:22:59 AStorm: Apparently, you can survive in Fnland with English alone Dec 06 17:23:02 they are acting as to make one :P Dec 06 17:23:08 Germany - prolly need to learn German Dec 06 17:23:11 <^Tux^> I'm .us, but I once broke a metacarpel in my hand after drinking > 1gal of tank-car vodka (heaven hill) and doing cart-wheels off a deck.. so I'll get in on this vodka challenge.. :P Dec 06 17:23:12 <^Tux^> ;P Dec 06 17:23:18 really? I'll try it then Dec 06 17:23:19 Meizirkki: can you check if it happens when idle? Dec 06 17:23:22 AStorm: entering recession already Dec 06 17:23:56 Meizirkki: and how you feel it in speed compared to yesterdays version? Dec 06 17:24:05 Tux: hmmm, then you were drunk Dec 06 17:24:06 AStorm: construction slowing down, realty prices falling, etc Dec 06 17:24:17 RST38h, yep, bad times Dec 06 17:24:33 AStorm: The place is tied up to the oil/gas/ore prices and those are falling through the floor Dec 06 17:24:35 and in this fun time I get to enter the marketplace Dec 06 17:24:48 mah Dec 06 17:24:51 solca: it happens randomly Dec 06 17:24:55 <^Tux^> drunk was an understatement Dec 06 17:24:55 <^Tux^> ;P Dec 06 17:25:05 solca: i think the speed is mostly same Dec 06 17:25:15 solca: not slower Dec 06 17:25:21 Tux: 1gal = x liter? Dec 06 17:25:33 <^Tux^> Dec 06 17:25:33 <^Tux^> 1 US gallon = 3.78541178 liter Dec 06 17:25:33 AStorm: Somehow I do not think embedded programmming stuff is going anywhere Dec 06 17:25:36 <^Tux^> google Dec 06 17:25:36 <^Tux^> ;D Dec 06 17:25:43 It is akin to coffin making in that sense =) Dec 06 17:25:46 Meizirkki: do you think the speed is to slow or is adequate? Dec 06 17:25:49 RST38h, but demand will go up Dec 06 17:26:03 the devices will always be needed Dec 06 17:26:08 AStorm: For coffins or embedded devices? =) Dec 06 17:26:10 Meizirkki: I can't figure out how to squeeze more speed thoug Dec 06 17:26:14 heck, I could write code for washing machines too Dec 06 17:26:20 heh Dec 06 17:26:21 RST38h, both :P Dec 06 17:26:21 which devices do you guys have? Dec 06 17:26:28 * RST38h wrote code for a hot dog making machine once Dec 06 17:26:39 * x29a is getting hungry Dec 06 17:26:47 If you think speed is too slow, well it's always going to be "too slow", because desktop will still be ahead of whatever you've got in your hand :P Dec 06 17:26:56 and had to help designing the hw too Dec 06 17:27:03 ShadowJK, :> Dec 06 17:27:13 RST38h, fun, fun, fun Dec 06 17:27:16 ShadowJK, psh, design to take these things into account and it wont be slow Dec 06 17:27:21 <^Tux^> I hear JK has the problem of things being "too small" vs "too slow" when they're in his hand Dec 06 17:27:21 <^Tux^> :( Dec 06 17:27:34 solca: i think the speed is good enough for me, it is not too slow. at the end, n810:s hardware is not very fast Dec 06 17:27:37 RST38h, unlike coding Java Dec 06 17:27:39 AStorm: the way it cooked the sausage was almost erotic Dec 06 17:27:50 * lcuk thinks the n810 is fast Dec 06 17:28:02 And if you have a webpage with 10 CPU hogging flash applets that peak your quad core desktop but still works fine, obviously it's going to be horrible on any CPU that fits with a powersource in your hand Dec 06 17:28:04 lcuk: When compared with my OMAP850 based E70 - yes Dec 06 17:28:06 n810 is fairly fast Dec 06 17:28:22 could use 2x ram and OMAP3 Dec 06 17:28:29 Meizirkki: ok, I'm getting tired of the keyboard malfunction, is the next thing I'll fix Dec 06 17:28:30 E70 with opera mini loads reuters about 10 times faster than N810 :-) Dec 06 17:28:31 and proper LCD controller Dec 06 17:28:32 flash is just badly implemented, it is not supposed to hog CPU Dec 06 17:28:36 I promise :) Dec 06 17:28:43 heh Dec 06 17:28:51 hmm, a unlocked version of G1, just need to sign up for a dev account over at google. tempting ;) Dec 06 17:28:56 AStorm, it would be faster if it could simply use all its limbs Dec 06 17:28:56 Shadow: Unless the OS decides to terminate that Opera when the memory gets exhausted Dec 06 17:29:06 lcuk, hmm? Dec 06 17:29:27 RST38h, and on N810 instead of getting the browser terminated, the watchdog just reboots the entire device when it starts swapping too much, heh. Dec 06 17:29:27 ShadowJK, sorry, not Dec 06 17:29:30 I checked Dec 06 17:29:34 t_s_o: "telnetd" Dec 06 17:29:35 solca: from adb: # wlan_loader Dec 06 17:29:35 :P Dec 06 17:29:35 fatal error opening "/sys/power/acquire_partial_wake_lock" Dec 06 17:29:44 ShadowJK, haha, simple to fix Dec 06 17:29:54 Shadow: Never happened to me Dec 06 17:29:56 Stskeeps?

Dec 06 17:30:24 t_s_o: http://blogs.zdnet.com/Burnette/?p=680 Dec 06 17:30:26 lcuk, well, yes Dec 06 17:30:29 Meizirkki: no idea, wlan_loader is the tiwlan driver loader for the G1 Dec 06 17:30:35 still, lcd controller is junk Dec 06 17:30:39 Meizirkki: (I presume) Dec 06 17:30:48 solca: ok Dec 06 17:30:48 yeah, knowing finnish is not a requirement for (tech) job in .fi Dec 06 17:30:49 ShadowJK, that's old cpu sched for you Dec 06 17:30:59 alcoholo consumpition skills are, however, a bonus :) Dec 06 17:31:01 Meizirkki: logcat can tell you more things Dec 06 17:31:08 ok Dec 06 17:31:27 Stskeeps: yep, i know about that bug... Dec 06 17:31:27 ShadowJK, also, olld timing code using jiffies Dec 06 17:31:35 iirc, its patched now Dec 06 17:31:50 I don't really believe much in the idea that giving more computing power will make things faster. People constnatly find new stupid things to waste CPU,GPU and whatever on to take you back to slowness again :) Dec 06 17:31:51 ShadowJK, all fixed some time ago in linux-omap Dec 06 17:32:06 ShadowJK, +1 Dec 06 17:32:11 ShadowJK, unless we go to full 3D Dec 06 17:32:21 AStorm: farcry Dec 06 17:32:30 AStorm, I imagine it's just because flash is so slow to swap to, that it takes more than 30 seconds for whatever daeemon that prods the watchdog to run? Dec 06 17:32:32 solca: android settings says wlan is on, but netcfg says it is down... Dec 06 17:32:33 in 2D, there's just so many things to waste power on Dec 06 17:32:48 ShadowJK, yes Dec 06 17:33:05 and watchdog isn't getting scheduled Dec 06 17:33:15 thanks to O(1) sched Dec 06 17:33:27 is there some lighter/faster flash to install to newest OS2007HE in Nokia 770 than flash9? Dec 06 17:33:32 Meizirkki: yea something is not working right, as when I turn on is good but if I turn it off the on it doesnt get on until next reboot Dec 06 17:33:45 Riiika, I don't think so Dec 06 17:33:48 solca: yep Dec 06 17:34:10 its kinda funny how gpe file manager can scroll using dpad without input lag (release button, it stops) while app manger and other nokia made apps seems to scroll for 10 seconds after button is released... Dec 06 17:34:17 well got to go, see you Dec 06 17:34:19 solca: # netcfg wlan0 up action 'up' failed (No such file or directory) Dec 06 17:34:21 Meizirkki, you can certainly slow things down with 3D too. Like, on my desktop I can use the gl output of MPlayer, the scaling and transform is accelerated by the GPU. This is however slower than Xv, which has a more direct 2D path to do the same. The GL approach starts performing better once you also have it do things liek sharpening, that you'd have to do in software with Xvideo.. Dec 06 17:34:42 k Dec 06 17:34:48 t_s_o, it's the same code really... they need to switch the kernel Dec 06 17:34:58 and check ondemand settings Dec 06 17:35:09 solca: bye Dec 06 17:35:14 set the threshold to 50 (it's 80 now) Dec 06 17:35:19 AStorm: sorry? Dec 06 17:35:20 AStorm, the CPU scheduler can't do much if it's waiting for the watchdog to come back from swap... It'd need cleverer io scheduling and shorter io queues maybe.. Dec 06 17:35:45 ShadowJK, watchdog won't be swapped Dec 06 17:35:58 i was talking about gpe file manager in use on my N800 running diablo... Dec 06 17:35:59 because it's an RT task Dec 06 17:36:06 http://flickr.com/photos/jsmanrique/3086624756/sizes/o/ Dec 06 17:36:20 AStorm, which of the daemons is responsible for prodding the watchdog? Dec 06 17:36:23 t_s_o, it's the same gtk code Dec 06 17:36:43 ShadowJK, hmm, dsme afaicr Dec 06 17:36:52 in other words, its something internal to the other code thats the issue? Dec 06 17:36:58 but you can also prod it manually via sysfs Dec 06 17:37:01 GeneralAntilles, i saw that, the contacts looks like mine damn them \@/ and the camera one isnt real Dec 06 17:37:03 GeneralAntilles: looks like someone is dreaming of a iphone... Dec 06 17:37:05 t_s_o, yup Dec 06 17:37:28 AStorm, dsme doesn't seem to have locked its memory? if you can at all trust the busybox 'ps'... Dec 06 17:37:31 t_s_o, it really does Dec 06 17:37:39 i wonder if the contacts are going to be floating like mine do Dec 06 17:37:42 Interesting that they'd use an N810 for what appears to be phone interface mockups. Dec 06 17:37:42 ShadowJK, sure Dec 06 17:37:47 it should mlock Dec 06 17:38:01 right, /proc/pid/status confirms that dsme's memory pages aren't locked, so it gets paged out like everything else too, even if its priority is set lower Dec 06 17:38:06 and it's not RT priority? Dec 06 17:38:11 but newer kernels won't swap out any RT priority tasks Dec 06 17:38:54 the top right image reminds me of samsungs latest phone interface, only that samsung have the menu on the left... Dec 06 17:39:08 all in all, meh... Dec 06 17:39:11 ShadowJK, ooh, bug! Dec 06 17:39:20 fix it, simple initfs change Dec 06 17:39:29 mlock will be harder Dec 06 17:39:47 alternatively, write a tiny daemon to prod the watchdog Dec 06 17:40:04 bme_RX-44 on the other hand is running at RT priority... Dec 06 17:40:14 dsme is just nice -1 Dec 06 17:40:26 I might have mixed them up Dec 06 17:40:45 check which one is started in initfs Dec 06 17:41:08 They're both started from initfs iirc Dec 06 17:42:21 gah, i really would like a mark option in the edit menu of the browser, that would basically lock the scroll and allow me to mark text with a simple drag of the stylus rather then the somewhat silly double-tap and drag we have today... Dec 06 17:43:03 yup, that would be nice Dec 06 17:43:16 write a bug maybe? Dec 06 17:43:24 iirc, i may already have... Dec 06 17:43:34 * GeneralAntilles doesn't recall one. Dec 06 17:43:39 probably will go "fixed in fremantle" if not tho... Dec 06 17:43:44 Unlikely Dec 06 17:43:54 I don't see them implementing something kludgy like that Dec 06 17:44:05 one menu option? :P Dec 06 17:44:15 AStorm, pfft. Dec 06 17:44:16 well, thats the option alternative, GeneralAntilles Dec 06 17:44:20 You know better than that. Dec 06 17:44:24 oops Dec 06 17:44:26 if we have a keyboard we could have something like shift to lock Dec 06 17:44:32 where's the kludge? it would be one step closer to vimperator :P Dec 06 17:44:45 (modal browser) Dec 06 17:44:48 lcuk: sadly i only own a N800... Dec 06 17:44:50 I'd like to have an option to lock to right click, for times when I don't want it to mistake a hold for left click Dec 06 17:44:52 :shudder: Dec 06 17:45:13 Just wait for Fremantle's fully open-source browser Dec 06 17:45:31 heh Dec 06 17:45:32 meh, maybe we could get someone in the community to unofficially patch the brower ui. or was that proprietary code? Dec 06 17:45:38 xul or gtk? Dec 06 17:45:45 t_s_o, it's closed. Dec 06 17:45:49 figures... Dec 06 17:45:55 Better off talking to Bundyo about his selection methods Dec 06 17:46:02 t_s_o, fremantle will have that opened Dec 06 17:46:19 AStorm: at that point i may as well be using a pandora... Dec 06 17:46:24 how does browser/browserd work, does browser just give a window ID for browserd to display to? is browserd opensource? Dec 06 17:46:36 t_s_o, heh. yes Dec 06 17:47:00 Pandora? Hehe :) Dec 06 17:47:05 ShadowJK, no and no Dec 06 17:47:10 people have their pandoras now don't they? Dec 06 17:47:23 lcuk: delayed by 6 months Dec 06 17:47:32 theres a surprise Dec 06 17:47:39 * GeneralAntilles thinks pancake's a bit bitter. Dec 06 17:47:54 t_s_o, and what prevents you from running Fremantle on that? :P Dec 06 17:48:18 on what? the pandora? nothing, but im not sure i would want to... Dec 06 17:48:29 GeneralAntilles, you can make the pancake sweeter by adding more memory to it Dec 06 17:48:36 GeneralAntilles, pancake=0xffff guy or? Dec 06 17:48:39 as i suspect nokia will be sneaking in some elements of "differentiation"... Dec 06 17:48:46 StsN800, yes, maemo-community post. Dec 06 17:48:55 t_s_o, sneaking? Dec 06 17:49:04 what for? Dec 06 17:49:05 You do realize Fremantle will be significantly more open than Diablo, right? Dec 06 17:49:17 AStorm: To sell more different devices Dec 06 17:49:20 I wonder if they will kill icd Dec 06 17:49:27 This has been their trademark behaviour for years Dec 06 17:49:36 RST38h, different target audience? Dec 06 17:49:44 ShadowJK, supposedly the networking setup will be changing. Dec 06 17:49:59 GeneralAntilles, icd is awesome, so it would be in line with big corporation behaviour to kill it :) Dec 06 17:49:59 AStorm: Yes, basically the same hardware but some features (usually software like fast JVM or 3D API) disabled in some phones Dec 06 17:50:01 GeneralAntilles: i will continue to be sceptical until the i see screenshots of running software, downloaded and compiled by not working for nokia... Dec 06 17:50:48 t_s_o, if the code is available. :\ Dec 06 17:50:51 t_s_o, they only need to release source once it goes on sale, before then they can stay in whatever cathederal they want Dec 06 17:50:53 RST38h, actually, yes Dec 06 17:51:02 lcuk: bingo... Dec 06 17:51:03 but clutter itself is already open and available Dec 06 17:51:08 lcuk, um, Fremantle beta? Dec 06 17:51:14 * lcuk lives in a little chapel Dec 06 17:51:35 Interesting to note that there's no mention of the delays on http://openpandora.org/ Dec 06 17:51:36 GeneralAntilles, the fremantle beta is the core base with no applications Dec 06 17:51:45 or thats what i read Dec 06 17:51:53 lcuk, none at all? Dec 06 17:52:10 I believe you're confusing the beta with the alpha Dec 06 17:52:19 Besides, h-a-m is shipping with the alpha. Dec 06 17:52:19 im oging under the impression it will be like xepyhr is currently Dec 06 17:52:24 core hildon with no apps Dec 06 17:52:40 You'd be under the wrong impression. Dec 06 17:52:51 then im in for a pleasant surprise then! Dec 06 17:53:33 "Beta SDK released between March-May, ready for application development including support for Mozilla based browser and Greasemonkey add-ons." Dec 06 17:53:42 Clearly that'll include the browser Dec 06 17:53:51 So there's at least two applications, h-a-m and MicroB Dec 06 17:54:51 no, it says support for, not includes Dec 06 17:55:25 lcuk, how do you plan on testing addons without a browser? :) Dec 06 17:55:44 i dont plan on testing the browser, but i thought xul was universal Dec 06 17:56:03 completly OT: what's the easiest way to provide some n00b a easy way to upload a huge file? Dec 06 17:56:17 root access to your server Dec 06 17:56:29 How huge? Dec 06 17:56:33 yes, i concur with qwerty12, post your passwords Dec 06 17:56:38 1+GB Dec 06 17:56:44 i have probably asked about this somewhere else, but why isnt the browser interface open source? are the opera binding still floating around in there? Dec 06 17:56:58 suihkulokki, is it regular uploads? Dec 06 17:57:09 and do you have control of the server Dec 06 17:57:13 t_s_o, a variety of reasons, likely. Dec 06 17:57:33 regular as in often Dec 06 17:57:38 t_s_o, probably some having to do with availability of time, others to do with silly management thinking about differentiation. Dec 06 17:58:01 lcuk: for now it's one-time case. yes, I have any full control. Dec 06 17:58:04 Opera (closed everything) -> Diablo MicroB (open engine) -> Fremantle MicroB (open everything) Dec 06 17:58:07 It's a progression. :P Dec 06 17:58:23 I know apache/php is not going to be easy Dec 06 17:58:31 http://freefall.purrsia.com/ff1700/fc01658.htm <- this kind of management i take it? Dec 06 17:58:54 suihkulokki, if they are trusted users give them ftp account access, its resumable Dec 06 17:59:45 (i think) Dec 06 18:00:03 the problem with ftp is 1) firewalls 2) risk of becoming a international piracy hub Dec 06 18:00:24 scp? Dec 06 18:00:27 suihkulokki, not really, you can give upload perms only Dec 06 18:00:41 firewalls mostly allow easy ftp through Dec 06 18:01:01 Let's go simple, what about box.net or similar? Dec 06 18:01:42 i still dont know how you get from an ftp account to international piracy hub Dec 06 18:02:03 you have control of the users and access permissions and quotas and everything Dec 06 18:02:26 lcuk, I don't know about now, but pirates used to scan for dodgy ftp's and upload their warez there Dec 06 18:02:35 public upload and download -> piracy Dec 06 18:03:24 dodgy == fully open with silly permissions == granted. but ftp is the still the usual way to transfer big files Dec 06 18:03:29 that's why any public upload dir must not have download permissions Dec 06 18:03:34 qwerty12, silly ones yeah Dec 06 18:04:22 suihkulokki, you could write some kind of torrent tracker and let your users add their files to it Dec 06 18:05:02 when you notice a new file has been added just start downloading yourself (after making sure it doesnt contain the words "britney" && "naked" Dec 06 18:06:24 hehe Dec 06 18:06:31 * suihkulokki grumbles about legacy protocols and starts reading vsftp docs Dec 06 18:06:32 private tracker theen Dec 06 18:06:39 *then Dec 06 18:30:31 hmm, is there a way to alter the font size of just the input boxes in the browser, or do i have to alter the fonts completely? Dec 06 18:40:02 t_s_o, sounds like a sane usability upgrade, but ive never see na way to do it without hacks. you oculd possibly do some css tweaking Dec 06 18:41:54 He apparently wants comments, but there appears to be no way to register an account to post them. <_< http://omag.es/blog/2008/12/06/nokia-n97-the-n810-and-successors-killer/ Dec 06 18:42:37 GeneralAntilles: indeed Dec 06 18:42:41 i ran into the same Dec 06 18:43:23 GeneralAntilles: http://bsd.tspre.org/~stskeeps/weirdhildon.png <- weird hildon layout i found dormant from 17 months ago in hildon-desktop :P Dec 06 18:44:45 N97 is suck, yup Dec 06 18:44:52 as is Symbian :P Dec 06 18:46:05 Stskeeps, lol Dec 06 18:46:12 Looks like Ubuntu Mobile or Moblin Dec 06 18:46:22 AStorm, that's exactly the thing for me. Dec 06 18:46:28 yeah, but widescreen wasn't that bad for browsing Dec 06 18:46:46 Whatever may be cool for hardware-wise in a phone, the software kills it. Dec 06 18:47:04 I just don't care about Symbion/WinMob/Palm/iPhone OS/whatever Dec 06 18:47:09 They're all sucky and limiting Dec 06 18:47:18 and I don't want to pay $500+ for "sucky and limiting" Dec 06 18:48:21 of these, ... I'd pick Linux :P Dec 06 18:48:31 Right Dec 06 18:48:50 I want to be able to do stuff with a device that costs as much as a small laptop Dec 06 18:48:57 Symbian doesn't let me do stuf Dec 06 18:48:59 f Dec 06 18:49:21 n97 costs more than a small laptop :) Dec 06 18:49:54 ShadowJK, let's not quibble lamely over degrees. . . . Dec 06 18:50:24 I could pick out a small laptop which it is marginally less expensive than. Dec 06 18:50:41 lcuk: from what i can tell on the forum, altering the minium font size alters everything. but interestingly enough it can be done via bookmarks ;) Dec 06 18:51:09 so that one can bump the fontsize up while entering something by bluetooth keyboard and them bump it back down afterwards... Dec 06 18:52:12 GeneralAntilles: but we're finally on a sane level again now (http://bsd.tspre.org/~stskeeps/mer/Screenshot-1.png) Dec 06 18:52:28 Stskeeps, lol. Dec 06 18:52:46 :P Dec 06 18:52:56 "Welcome to Mer/the Diablo SDK" Dec 06 18:53:24 at least it's not LCARS. Dec 06 18:53:28 Hehe Dec 06 18:53:43 i've also seperated hildon desktop layout from hildon desktop app Dec 06 18:53:52 I'm not sure if shipping LCARS as default would attract the right or wrong sort of people. :P Dec 06 18:53:52 which means it is possible to tinker with the interface Dec 06 18:54:21 so if you want a widescreen theme, or mess things up, it's easy :P Dec 06 19:01:23 Awesome http://www.reuters.com/article/topNews/idUSWEN145820081206?rpc=64 Dec 06 19:01:53 Why can't we just let the losers go under and free up that capital for productive economic pursuits? :\ Dec 06 19:02:19 communism, my comrade Dec 06 19:02:21 :P Dec 06 19:02:29 Yeah, that. :/ Dec 06 19:02:44 Obama's bringing change my ass. Dec 06 19:05:09 GeneralAntilles, except that loser will drop a bomb in unemployed people Dec 06 19:05:10 It's a month or more until he becomes president? Dec 06 19:05:15 :> Dec 06 19:05:32 <^Tux^> a little over Dec 06 19:06:44 The thing that puzzles me is Dec 06 19:07:05 why do they need money to developer more efficient cars, when they already sell such cars in europe, heh Dec 06 19:07:31 <^Tux^> probably because of .us epa laws Dec 06 19:07:38 nah Dec 06 19:07:38 ^ Dec 06 19:07:42 <^Tux^> the clusterfuck that it is Dec 06 19:07:46 because of patents Dec 06 19:07:58 they can't just steal some ideas Dec 06 19:08:03 General: ever read Fred? Dec 06 19:08:30 AStorm, steal what ideas? ShadowJK is talking about the more efficient American cars that Ford, etc sell in Europe Dec 06 19:08:34 Not European cars. :\ Dec 06 19:08:51 That "Ford" is actually Mazda =) Dec 06 19:08:52 ^Tux^ is right, the EPA regulations are to blame. Dec 06 19:08:58 ah these Dec 06 19:09:03 <^Tux^> fuck it.. they'll have to pry my v8's from my cold dying foot Dec 06 19:09:09 whatever Dec 06 19:09:11 Hehe Dec 06 19:09:12 General: Anyways, check out http://www.fredoneverything.net/FOE_Frame_Column.htm Dec 06 19:09:27 No, haven't read Fred, RST38h. Dec 06 19:09:43 The guy is somewhat repetitive but usually fun to read Dec 06 19:14:26 hm, didn't know iTT showed who voted for what Dec 06 19:14:44 Stskeeps, depends on the poll Dec 06 19:18:58 http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/gizmodo/2008/12/dos-1.jpg Dec 06 19:21:22 Stskeeps, wheres that Dec 06 19:21:39 ah, it was the "going to buy n900" poll Dec 06 19:21:42 lcuk, the one where he voted for who he hates most. Dec 06 19:22:56 i, for one, am also shocked the poll results are available - not for personal reasons merely because no other online site offers public stats like that Dec 06 19:23:16 lcuk, lol? Dec 06 19:23:28 Lots of forums offer polls Dec 06 19:24:05 yeah but most dont show who voted for what Dec 06 19:24:35 It helps me put together shit lists. :P Dec 06 19:24:54 * ^Tux^ hates Stskeeps Dec 06 19:25:00 ^Tux^: i know Dec 06 19:25:01 :P Dec 06 19:25:01 <^Tux^> oh wait.. shit.. I can do it annonymously? Dec 06 19:25:03 * ^Tux^ runs Dec 06 19:25:12 We ALL hate Stskeeps. :P Dec 06 19:25:28 <^Tux^> if I really hated you.. would I have sat around harassing you for ummm... Dec 06 19:25:34 <^Tux^> what like almost a decade now?

Dec 06 19:34:31 updating=rebooting* Dec 06 19:36:59 wow Dec 06 19:46:03 never heard of that before... Dec 06 19:46:45 * qwerty12_N800 has had it once but after rebooting, it started normally Dec 06 19:48:05 http://computershopper.com/feature/apple-computer-the-very-early-years Dec 06 19:51:33 sin18, there's supposedly a recovery mode Dec 06 19:51:39 I don't really have any details on it, though. Dec 06 19:52:17 GeneralAntilles : surprisingly i couldnt find any info on internetablettalk Dec 06 19:53:05 sin18, I don't know what causes it to activate or what, exactly, it does. Dec 06 20:01:38 * RST38h yawns widely Dec 06 20:06:18 need to build dosbox with dynrec core... Dec 06 20:27:38 More ugly iPhone-related shit: http://gizmodo.com/5103465/santa-live-iphone-app-pulled-due-to-even-more-controversy Dec 06 20:31:18 heh Dec 06 20:31:21 * Stskeeps hugs his tablet Dec 06 20:32:08 pupnik: I heard that dosbox dynrec core for ARM is not so fast as it could be, what was your experience using it? Dec 06 20:33:34 * qwerty12_N800 remembers Scary Movie 2 with "Santa Claus is coming to moms" Dec 06 20:35:57 * ^Tux^ slaps Stskeeps around a bit with a large trout Dec 06 20:37:50 haven't tried it yet ssvb Dec 06 20:37:59 ok, i see Dec 06 20:38:23 I just thought that it might be a good idea to try improving it Dec 06 20:42:26 i have the my n810 with the rotation stuff installed but, the applactation manager always wants to update the kernel flasher and destroy it, is there a way to tell the aplaction manager that its update Dec 06 20:43:15 google something like apt-get pinning Dec 06 20:43:31 sorry about the spelling i have really bad dyslexia Dec 06 20:43:34 ok Dec 06 20:43:47 qwerty12_N800, osv-u? Dec 06 20:43:51 outpo.st/rotate Dec 06 20:44:16 GeneralAntilles, ? Dec 06 20:44:38 qwerty12_N800, osso-software-version-rx44-unlocked should solve it, right? Dec 06 20:45:52 I think his problem is that the original kernel / xserver keeps showing up as an update. Jott installs his own version of osso-software-version Dec 06 20:46:13 qwerty12_N800, jott just uses Nokia's osv-u Dec 06 20:46:35 He just provides it himself since Nokia can't seem to wrap their heads around proper repository structures. Dec 06 20:47:13 True, but with differences. Look at the ~rotate epochs with jott's version Dec 06 20:47:17 mvo seems to be busy on documentation/making policy, atleast Dec 06 20:47:40 qwerty12_N800, either way, jott's method seems to be slightly easy to use than pinning. Dec 06 20:47:48 "apt-get install rotation-support-n810" Dec 06 20:49:09 I don't know how rotation was installed by b1ackdeath but back to the transporter 3 :) Dec 06 20:51:06 is there any problems with canola beta 9 maemo3?

Dec 06 21:05:44 is there a way to make a text file of all the packages on my n800? Dec 06 21:06:54 could try 'dpkg-query -l > /what/ever.txt' Dec 06 21:11:00 evening m-vo Dec 06 21:15:20 Evening!

Dec 06 21:20:49 RST38h: given his knowledge of geography, he probably thinks iran is a state within russia. Dec 06 21:22:14 Sts: Whatever he thinks, his handlers definitely know what they are doing Dec 06 21:31:25 * Stskeeps queues advanced-backlight for build Dec 06 21:33:09 reminds me to make myself an empty project for the status bar applet Dec 06 21:35:34 lo moontiger Dec 06 21:35:52 yo!

Dec 06 23:50:17 plenty of rumours Dec 06 23:50:17 Knowledge, same as last time. Dec 06 23:50:24 Trust me, you'll notice when it's announced. Dec 06 23:51:21 Damn it...I want to buy something Dec 06 23:51:40 Knowledge bye some money Dec 06 23:51:43 I already have everything that I need...and most of what I want.

Dec 06 23:53:52 The signs are there. Dec 06 23:53:55 <^Tux^> ve bought a bunch of old ipaqs Dec 06 23:53:59 <^Tux^> and are rebranding them Dec 06 23:54:01 <^Tux^> as the new tablets Dec 06 23:54:11 <^Tux^> nokia tablet Stskeeps edition Dec 06 23:54:13 HDPA? as in GSM?

Dec 06 23:55:08 Er, HSPA rather Dec 06 23:55:15 But I didn't mean HSDPA Dec 06 23:56:01 wait, HSPA looks like a better HSDPA... Dec 06 23:56:20 It'll be faster than EVDO, anyway. Dec 06 23:56:44 pfft...that would be wonderful, I think EVDO is awesome...granted my carrier just got it about a month ago Dec 06 23:56:52 sadly Dec 06 23:56:54 Oh, right, OpenGL, too. Dec 06 23:57:05 720p decoding Dec 06 23:57:13 woah. so, it's going to basically be a netbook? Dec 06 23:57:20 So, yeah, there aint much holding this tablet back. Dec 06 23:57:30 Er, well, a netbook power in a tablet's formfactor Dec 06 23:57:40 with battery life of a nokia cellphone Dec 06 23:57:40 :P Dec 06 23:57:47 that's going to be nuts...I can't wait Dec 06 23:59:41 wow man, technology has come a far way if you really think about it....from huge computers to something that fits in your pocket... Dec 06 23:59:45 the trick will be to sell your current tablet exactly one day before the announcement. ;) Dec 06 23:59:58 No word is what it's going to be called huh? Dec 07 00:00:01 soap, why sell? Dec 07 00:00:23 Knowledge, nope. Dec 07 00:00:23 we'll be opening a betting pool on the announcement date Dec 07 00:00:23 :P Dec 07 00:00:24 right, I still have a 770, which is actually beeping at me because the battery is dying...my poor neglected 770 Dec 07 00:00:25 soap, I used my old ones as remotes, ebook readers or couch browsers Dec 07 00:00:32 GeneralAntilles, I, for one, can not afford to own both at the same time. (and suspect I am not alone in that situation.) Dec 07 00:01:38 I already own too many DAPs. Don't need to start compulsively collecting tablets as well. ;) Dec 07 00:02:57 Man, I keep buying phones to get them to do what my 770 does, but I always end up going back to my 770. And even though I haven't touched my 770 in a long long time...I use my HTC Titan to browse the net, or do simple stuff and think "man, my 770 would whoop this things pitoot" Dec 07 00:04:39 You think the 770 would kick something's ass, you need to try an OMAP2 tablet. . . . Dec 07 00:04:48 but I really think there should be a better way/place to get apps... Dec 07 00:04:52 OMAP2? Dec 07 00:04:58 let me joojle Dec 07 00:05:03 N8x0 Dec 07 00:05:12 downloads.maemo.org and Extras. . . . Dec 07 00:05:42 oh, yeah...that...I dunno man, there's something about the 810 that I just don't dig...as for the 800, I sold it to go back to my 770 Dec 07 00:06:02 Um? Dec 07 00:06:09 That's a . . . bizarre choice. Dec 07 00:06:21 I just couldn't stand looking at it... Dec 07 00:06:51 That's an awful strong aesthetic hate. :\ Dec 07 00:06:53 it looked toooooo.......I dunno how to describe it.....like it tried to hard to be main stream Dec 07 00:07:48 with the silver and shiny trim etc... Dec 07 00:07:57 :/ Dec 07 00:08:44 awww don't tell me the new one is going to resemble it...I gotta tell ya, I wouldn't care if that thing could spawn money for you, I wouldn't take it. I really hated the 800...weird I know... Dec 07 00:09:24 Knowledge: people here are mostly maemo community, not getting revenue in any way ;) Dec 07 00:09:42 We don't know what it'll look like. Dec 07 00:09:43 huh? Dec 07 00:10:41 as long as it looks like more flash, more RAM, and more CPU I'm happy. Dec 07 00:10:57 More CPU it'll have. <_< Dec 07 00:11:02 2 or 3 times more. Dec 07 00:11:46 There seems to be a remote chance of it having 512MB of RAM. Dec 07 00:16:43 Might even be able to run an actual distro... Dec 07 00:17:18 Knowledge, well, you can do that now if you've got an N8x0 Dec 07 00:17:28 what?! Dec 07 00:17:41 http://trac.tspre.org/projects/deblet Dec 07 00:17:45 man, I've been out of the loop...I have to catch up Dec 07 00:17:48 Should looked past the aesthetics. . . . Dec 07 00:18:29 you mean screen shots? Dec 07 00:22:21 Wow, 8GB SDHC for the 770? I've gotta dedicate a few hours tomorrow to catching up... Dec 07 00:22:47 * Stskeeps hopes to target 770 with mer too Dec 07 00:23:03 Stskeeps, the 770 is fscking slow Dec 07 00:23:07 man, the n97 looks so cool Dec 07 00:23:31 GeneralAntilles: yeah, but did you see the vid the guy who's 770 died to get deblet on it? Dec 07 00:23:39 it wasn't directly bad Dec 07 00:23:49 i wonder how many similiarities the n97 and n900 will have Dec 07 00:23:50 l7, Symbian sucks. Dec 07 00:24:06 l7, well, they wont be sharing a CPU anyway. Dec 07 00:24:11 yea, the 770 is slow... Dec 07 00:24:24 GeneralAntilles: why? it seems like a decent choice if you want an open-ish phone environment Dec 07 00:24:37 i suppose you could also try some of the Motorola Linux phones Dec 07 00:24:47 l7, there isn't a single phone OS that interests me. Dec 07 00:25:08 l7, I mean, if I'm paying $700 for a phone, it better be a helluva lot more interesting than Symbian. ;) Dec 07 00:25:17 heh there is that Dec 07 00:25:35 i couldn't find an openssh sever for symbian anywhere Dec 07 00:26:19 symbian is a bit different creature is it? for openssh :P Dec 07 00:26:35 openssh is not very portable Dec 07 00:27:08 it's not the most important feature in a phone Dec 07 00:27:10 for 700 dollars, it better come with a bj... Dec 07 00:27:14 even the linux version needs a good size library to make things look like bsd Dec 07 00:27:24 but i have gotten used to shelling into my tablet for all sorts of stuff Dec 07 00:27:25 quick question...OS2007, BT PAN possible? Dec 07 00:28:03 wasn't the something about BT version in 770? Dec 07 00:28:11 700 is about the same price as an unlocked iphone, though the n97's hardware does seem better Dec 07 00:29:08 if only the n900 could function as a phone too Dec 07 00:29:19 voip Dec 07 00:29:45 I'd actually be interested to see how that might perform. Dec 07 00:29:58 it's a little difficult to recieve calls with voip isn't it? Dec 07 00:30:03 damn it no BT PAN. Dec 07 00:30:10 l7, how do you mean? Dec 07 00:30:20 seems like it would almost always go to voicemail when someone calls you Dec 07 00:30:23 VoIP can be 100% transparent to the user. Dec 07 00:30:27 Er, why? Dec 07 00:30:42 how would you answer unless you had a network connection? Dec 07 00:30:51 3g. . . . Dec 07 00:31:56 Simultanious Voice and Data? Dec 07 00:32:05 VoIP over 3G Dec 07 00:32:11 if 3g stays connected all the time, i guess it would work Dec 07 00:32:14 Simultaneous I meant Dec 07 00:32:26 Knowledge, the N900 is data-only Dec 07 00:32:29 VoIP is just more data Dec 07 00:32:45 Well, EVDO (tethered) you could do voice and data... Dec 07 00:33:05 it is kind of a cool idea, if you could just get a good data only plan Dec 07 00:33:18 l7, I've been wondering about that Dec 07 00:33:21 I have 2 phones with the same ESN (yes yes, I know illegal)....I tethered with one, and called with the other...and it worked....but incoming still doesn't work Dec 07 00:33:25 I think you can get a $30/mo plan from AT&T Dec 07 00:33:49 hrm, that's not a bad deal Dec 07 00:34:20 i've heard AT&T's network coverage lags a bit behind Sprint and verizon Dec 07 00:34:34 but if you in a metro area it should be okay Dec 07 00:35:27 Another question...2007 = diablo? Dec 07 00:35:37 No Dec 07 00:35:41 damn it. Dec 07 00:35:42 Diablo is Maemo 4.1 Dec 07 00:35:44 OS2008.1 Dec 07 00:35:48 ohh...

Dec 07 00:38:54 hmm, i wonder what kind of fancy tricks you could pull with an asterix server, voip and an n900 Dec 07 00:39:50 woglinde: what is the error? Dec 07 00:40:05 Knowledge maemo will think its pda Dec 07 00:40:14 hmm... Dec 07 00:40:20 and will not allow you do make inet connection over it Dec 07 00:40:34 but you can change this in the gconf-reg Dec 07 00:41:38 hmm, I should try my other phone and see if I could tether...brb Dec 07 00:46:45 is there a repository list that I could download? Dec 07 00:48:04 Meiz_n810: works for me (tm), did you remember to clean out your fs first before installing on top? Dec 07 01:38:54 * rukbat sits in StsN800's lap Dec 07 01:59:16 If i have transmission and i saved it to mmc-internal ... where would it save it to? Dec 07 01:59:38 cant find it anywhere Dec 07 01:59:56 "mmc-undefined-name-internal" Dec 07 02:05:21 does anywhere know where mmc-undefined-name-internal is .. in / Dec 07 02:06:36 i want sound input on a usb sound card on a 770 i have the hardware and the drivers loaded and its showing up as /dev/snd/pcmC0D0c so what should i do next Dec 07 02:07:55 its a file zakkm Dec 07 02:07:59 ?

Dec 07 02:09:27 diablo's how many months old now? Dec 07 02:09:43 its only problem is that it doesn't get updated very often :) Dec 07 02:09:50 inteliwasp, just upgrade. Dec 07 02:10:03 on my 810 it has always worked great Dec 07 02:10:46 b/c i saw on the canola site that they said that m player and other thigs are not ready yet...

Dec 07 02:17:28 GeneralAntilles Dec 07 02:17:38 where is mmc-undefined-name-internal Dec 07 02:24:07 SmackPotat: what is the benefit of using usb sound card? Dec 07 02:28:52 external mic/line in? Dec 07 02:29:05 the 770 doesn't have a mic jack Dec 07 02:29:18 of an fm radio for that matter Dec 07 02:30:19 any comparison of N97 vs N810 Dec 07 02:30:53 LiraNuna, the N97 isn't released yet Dec 07 02:31:00 ah. I did not read well enough, sp did say 'sound input' .. sorry. Dec 07 02:31:14 http://technology.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/tech_and_web/personal_tech/article5274882.ece Dec 07 02:31:18 "launches" as keyword Dec 07 02:31:20 it's ok, i did a double take when i first read it a while ago Dec 07 02:31:35 ah Dec 07 02:31:59 I hate the iPhone and I want to either get the N810 WiMAX or N97 Dec 07 02:32:01 I'm wondering if the N900 will actually turn out to be Nokia's first OMAP3 device. Dec 07 02:32:15 who cares? Dec 07 02:32:24 woul be nice to have a decent 3d engine Dec 07 02:32:25 if it is, that just means it'll be buggier :) Dec 07 02:32:29 like some omap3 seem to have Dec 07 02:32:43 all things considered, as a customer, i'd rather have device #5 Dec 07 02:32:43 timeless, well, it'd represent a first for the tablets. Dec 07 02:32:56 bleeding edge? Dec 07 02:33:02 benh, the next tablet is coming with OpenGL. Dec 07 02:33:04 I'm mostly waiting for NXX which would have GSM chip inside Dec 07 02:33:05 is that really a first you want? Dec 07 02:33:14 GeneralAntilles: have there been an announce or article yet ? Dec 07 02:33:17 timeless, I didn't say I wanted anything. :P Dec 07 02:33:22 oilinki, the 770 doesnt have a audio in and i want to connmect a fm radio Dec 07 02:33:27 It'd be an interesting change of pace, though. Dec 07 02:33:47 hey, the touch screen was a first Dec 07 02:33:50 benh, http://www.linuxdevices.com/news/NS9093153240.html Dec 07 02:33:52 we did bleed there :) Dec 07 02:33:59 SmackPotat: undestood. I did not read your line well enough before :) Dec 07 02:34:01 well, omap3 can have powervr in it, though i don't think the GL ES stack is open source Dec 07 02:34:02 (bleeding is like leading but with 2 spelling errors) Dec 07 02:34:06 GeneralAntilles: thanks ! Dec 07 02:34:22 Either way, S60 doesn't really have much to do with Maemo. Dec 07 02:34:30 cool im a bit behind on the conversation Dec 07 02:34:35 "Nokia executive Ari Jaaksi revealed today in a keynote at the Open Source in Mobile show that Nokia will add 3G/HSPA capabilities to an OMAP3-optimized Maemo 5 release for the tablets" am I reading this right? Dec 07 02:34:53 stop reading, it's hazardous to your health Dec 07 02:34:53 LiraNuna, that announcement is from months ago. Dec 07 02:34:54 yeah :) Dec 07 02:34:56 where is mmc-undefined-name-internal Dec 07 02:35:00 in / ? Dec 07 02:35:03 dunno Dec 07 02:35:04 how can you be an uninformed /. user Dec 07 02:35:11 if you actually read the articles... Dec 07 02:35:11 ? Dec 07 02:35:15 tsk Dec 07 02:35:17 what articles? Dec 07 02:35:30 zakkm /media/mmc1 or /media/mmc2 Dec 07 02:35:36 transmission said it downloaded to mmc-undefined-name-internal and i cant find it anywehre Dec 07 02:35:43 thank you Dec 07 02:36:05 and file a bug Dec 07 02:37:07 I'm a bit surprised that the N97 is gonna ship with an ARM11 Dec 07 02:39:17 * timeless wonders what an arm11 is Dec 07 02:39:33 Slower than a Cortex A8 Dec 07 02:39:48 slow is good, right? Dec 07 02:39:55 better battery life Dec 07 02:40:02 Sorry, no. Dec 07 02:40:18 i'm in a strange mood Dec 07 02:40:22 i've been starving for hours Dec 07 02:40:26 Cortex A8 is significantly more efficient than an ARM11 at the same performance level. Dec 07 02:40:30 and i filed ~5 security bugs Dec 07 02:40:42 Go eat something then go to sleep. :P Dec 07 02:44:58 timeless, i hope one of your bugs was "feeling hungry, nothing in stomach" and that you actually managed to resolve it Dec 07 02:50:25 i failed to resolve it Dec 07 02:50:49 lcuk: have you read that bug? Dec 07 02:51:40 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=102849 => lcuk Dec 07 02:52:07 hahahahah Dec 07 02:52:42 no, i hadnt :D Dec 07 02:54:29 timeless, you areally are timeless Dec 07 02:55:23 it's 5til 5a Dec 07 02:55:28 food closes officially at 5a Dec 07 02:55:35 but they stop producing sooner Dec 07 02:56:18 same everywhere - they dont want an order that will take 30 mins coming in 2 minutes before closing **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sun Dec 07 02:59:57 2008
