Feb 06 03:08:36 none of them let me add a URL to stream from Feb 06 03:08:42 that i've seen Feb 06 03:10:55 mplayer should work via CLI... GUI frontends, IDK. Feb 06 03:11:52 kmplayer says "buffering" then doesn't do anything Feb 06 03:21:22 I just got screwed big time at Circuit City Feb 06 03:24:11 n Feb 06 03:24:31 ??

Feb 06 03:33:23 Weird Feb 06 03:33:25 gAn: so, builder seems to be doing one package every 5mins Feb 06 03:33:30 Not very fast Feb 06 03:34:29 timelE61i, indeed. Feb 06 03:34:37 I guess it's not set up to process a thousand tiny packages Feb 06 03:35:37 OH SWEET Feb 06 03:35:39 I GOT IT TO WORK Feb 06 03:35:52 GeneralAntilles, found the part on there parts website but it can't be ordered Feb 06 03:38:14 well... Feb 06 03:38:46 In previous versions of the system we had these and rumor has it fremantle should Feb 06 03:38:46 * b-man runs apt-get dist-upgrade in ubuntu jaunty on his tablet and is shocked to see 51.9mb of space will be freed - and no packages are going to be removed 0_o Feb 06 03:39:14 Creative accounting? Feb 06 03:39:21 Or doc/locale-purge? Feb 06 03:40:05 It's also possible the packages you have were refactored to exclude extras Feb 06 03:53:22 hey b-man your ubuntu jaunty install doesn't use hildon right? Feb 06 03:54:03 yes, it doesn't :) Feb 06 03:54:28 you get FN Numbers working? Feb 06 03:55:32 i believe so, allthough i don't have a hw keyboard, i'm using re-compiled packages from mer/deblet. Feb 06 03:55:33 or using on screen keyboard Feb 06 03:55:48 xkbd ;) Feb 06 03:56:12 trying to get FN button to work with Mer using Lxde but no luck yet Feb 06 03:56:34 hmm Feb 06 03:56:40 I'm using onBoard right now and it runs real slow Feb 06 03:57:10 try xkbd, it's fast, light, and relyable ;) Feb 06 03:57:39 ok, what you using to fix the FN button? Feb 06 03:58:07 keymaps from deblet Feb 06 03:58:32 you got a copy of them so i don't have to download entire deblet? Feb 06 03:58:50 shure, hold on.. Feb 06 04:01:26 i'll be back , i'm getting interupted atm ;) Feb 06 04:01:41 thats cool I'll get it from you in the morning bedtime for me Feb 06 04:02:03 k, c ya Feb 06 04:13:42 is there a place where i can upload VLC settings for optimal streaming? Feb 06 04:13:53 i got the stream to work perfectly after an hour of tinkering with codecs Feb 06 04:14:21 wiki.maemo.org? Feb 06 04:14:43 alright :-) Feb 06 04:15:43 essentially, i bought the n800 to replace my PSP as a media center, and now i've completed all the stuff i wanted to get that goal done. Feb 06 04:16:38 So it works? Feb 06 04:17:13 Btw, what's the battery life for the psp? Feb 06 04:18:32 http://wiki.maemo.org/Manual_video_encoding Feb 06 04:19:00 gan: so, if things are in order, 0.1.1 might be up Feb 06 04:19:44 Oh :( Feb 06 04:19:57 It looks like builder rejected the meta package Feb 06 04:21:39 :( it didn't like the dependency format? Feb 06 04:27:43 timelE61i: Yes, works great. And the PSP lasts 2-6 hours, depending on what you do with it. if it's using the UMD, 2 hours, if you're just streaming audio or using it as an MP3 player, it gets 5-6 Feb 06 04:27:57 i'm back :) Feb 06 04:28:15 AndrewFBlack: http://www.bman.maemobox.org/Xmodmap Feb 06 04:28:19 b-man: you're a debian/ubuntu-ish person, no? Feb 06 04:28:20 it's wifi connection is fickle, though. and you can't just drop an application on there to run. also, transcoding video for the PSP is a huge pain in the neck Feb 06 04:28:43 My package failed to be packaged, i'd like help understanding why Feb 06 04:28:45 timelE6li: yes :) Feb 06 04:47:19 * b-man is shocked when his wifi connection jumps from 30kb/s to 1200kb/s 0_o Feb 06 05:15:53 http://wiki.maemo.org/Vlc Feb 06 05:15:56 there, i wiki'd it. Feb 06 05:15:59 :-) Feb 06 05:19:35 oK, qgil and i have boarded Feb 06 05:19:48 See people later Feb 06 05:20:23 Have fun. Feb 06 05:29:27 * b-man sleeps, g'night everyone :) Feb 06 05:56:01 oic, palm releases ARM based PDAs Feb 06 06:05:31 hi does pb's installtools still work? Feb 06 06:05:44 on current maemo Feb 06 06:07:46 43.7 Feb 06 06:42:57 is it just me or there is now way to sync contacts on maemo? Feb 06 06:48:33 helloo Feb 06 06:53:34 anyone out there who has managed to run mer 0.7 on a 770? Feb 06 06:58:53 meetparty, you hit some bug or just wondering? Feb 06 06:59:15 s/meetparty/meetpatty/ Feb 06 06:59:16 slonopotamus meant: meetpatty, you hit some bug or just wondering? Feb 06 06:59:30 i have hit a dproblem Feb 06 07:00:57 oh. they maybe you should ask someone from mer team. johnx & Stskeeps are the most helpful ones :) Feb 06 07:01:18 meetpatty, what kind of a problem? Feb 06 07:02:03 hm.. is there a way to sort of "spoof" a site into thinking that you're not viewing the site from a mobile device? kinda sucks when your device is capable of viewing a normal site, but you're forced to use the mobile-friendly one :/ Feb 06 07:02:24 haha yea, i annoyed Stskeeps last night Feb 06 07:06:00 Jucato: depends on the site, and how it deduces you're on a mobile. Feb 06 07:15:27 looks nice :) http://arstechnica.com/open-source/news/2009/02/kde-42-and-koffice-20-beta-6-available-for-maemo.ars Feb 06 07:18:14 why can't i get Comix to work? Feb 06 07:18:21 decoder zip not available? Feb 06 07:19:54 nm, cbrpager ftw!! Feb 06 07:37:31 ok, modest doesn't care about my CA Feb 06 07:46:28 lol, today I found out debian xfce for n8x0 beta3 is good ,too Feb 06 07:48:24 morning Feb 06 07:48:30 dexterk: but totally undeveloped Feb 06 07:48:39 dexterk: 4.6b3? Feb 06 07:48:40 debian beta3 was johnx, who's doing mer too now ;) Feb 06 07:48:51 on Feb 06 07:48:53 en Feb 06 07:48:55 all beta Feb 06 07:48:57 well, I'm the Xfce Debian maintainer, and I just got an n810… Feb 06 07:49:00 Corsac: beta3 Feb 06 07:49:21 Corsac: johnx did a tar.gz with a pre-setup xfce back in last spring so Feb 06 07:49:40 so as soon as I buy two SD card, I'll use one to install Mer, and another to install a Debian, and start hacking on that kind of stuff :) Feb 06 07:49:45 hehe Feb 06 07:50:29 Corsac: i started building some of the Mer packages for debian-armel (armv4t), it might be interesting Feb 06 07:50:44 to be able to put on armv4t devices Feb 06 07:50:48 (freerunner, for instance) Feb 06 07:52:04 a pure debian armel is installable on armv6 like n810? Feb 06 07:52:09 yeah Feb 06 07:52:17 trac.tspre.org/projects/deblet Feb 06 07:52:49 you need some tricks but else it's installable :P Feb 06 07:53:19 yeah but with a d-i? Feb 06 07:53:22 nah Feb 06 07:53:31 debootstrap and apt-get ;) Feb 06 07:53:53 ok Feb 06 07:54:11 but i wouldn't recommend using deblet.. i have practically abandoned the project and devoting all my time to Mer Feb 06 07:54:21 as it has more potential with regards to power saving etc Feb 06 07:54:46 hmhm, what are exactly the changes wrt a “pure” debian? Feb 06 07:54:49 or ubuntu, for that matter Feb 06 07:55:04 and shouldn't it be nice to update debian/ubuntu with your changes? Feb 06 07:55:14 yeah, but some of them aren't exactly kosher Feb 06 07:55:21 (I know Loic Minier is interesed by Mer but doesn't have time to check on it) Feb 06 07:56:02 debian & ubuntu target desktops and laptops, but not things like tablets (resource-constrained but not "just" a embeddded system) Feb 06 07:56:09 so some things might need additional breaking Feb 06 07:56:46 yeah but it's worth at least trying, imho Feb 06 07:56:56 (ok, maemo mapper just crashed ><) Feb 06 07:57:03 but, yes, the idea is to merge interesting things upstream Feb 06 07:57:11 (and I can't select a route from two POI) Feb 06 07:57:15 yeah, MM is weird in latest update Feb 06 07:57:27 Stskeeps: basically what are the problems with merging? Feb 06 07:57:38 I mean, what is the bad stuff :) Feb 06 07:58:15 well, for tablets, using diablo kernel: you have to fsck before udev starts.. or fsck dies with "Resource busy" Feb 06 07:58:21 you need a nasty workaround for that Feb 06 07:59:27 in any case, Mer is both a proof of concept, a research project and a potential approach to doing Maemo things.. - we're much closer to our upstream than Maemo is, for instance Feb 06 08:00:15 also, the whole concept of having to require /mnt/initfs mounted upon boot :) Feb 06 08:00:31 Mer also uses Maemo GTK, not upstream GTK Feb 06 08:00:42 we do have some seams but we try to limit them :) Feb 06 08:02:45 “Confirm download of 269748234 maps (up to about 1618489.40 MB) Feb 06 08:02:48 maybe not :/ Feb 06 08:03:26 iSCSI on tablet could be interesting ;) Feb 06 08:03:37 eheh Feb 06 08:06:55 how much room is it interesting to have for mer, basically? Feb 06 08:07:03 (as I intend to dedicate it an SD card) Feb 06 08:08:54 2gb card is just fine :P it depends on how crazy you go with having all the packages installed ;) Feb 06 08:09:31 it's about 405mb uncompressed Feb 06 08:09:43 and 180mb in flash (we didn't do docpurge yet) Feb 06 08:09:59 Anyone can hint at the easiest method to load png into memory? Feb 06 08:10:22 (without allocating temp structs, reading info, attaching callbacks, using longjmp etc) Feb 06 08:10:33 use libpng? Feb 06 08:10:40 Corsac: see above Feb 06 08:10:44 (or did i misunderstood?) Feb 06 08:10:46 without all this crap Feb 06 08:10:54 or use gtk? Feb 06 08:11:02 which will wrap calls to libpng, I guess Feb 06 08:11:04 into memory, not a widget Feb 06 08:11:10 oh Feb 06 08:11:19 then just open() and read() it? Feb 06 08:11:26 if you just need the raw data? Feb 06 08:11:27 png2pnm Feb 06 08:11:36 Ok, no easy way? Feb 06 08:11:46 RST38h; maybe imlib2 Feb 06 08:11:54 RST38h; if you just want RGBA32 Feb 06 08:11:56 monkey: thanks, checking Feb 06 08:12:04 ,monkey: yea, basically Feb 06 08:12:17 if you can force the input format no to have weird compression stuff it may be easier Feb 06 08:13:00 RST38h; imlib_image_get_data() is what you want, once you load the image of course. Feb 06 08:13:08 I mean, if you can assume one won't feed you weird stuff, and you can drop them immediately Feb 06 08:13:24 Imlib2 is not on the NIT by default though? Feb 06 08:13:47 RST38h; I was just looking at that part... unfortunately its not :() Feb 06 08:13:59 * RST38h is screwed then Feb 06 08:14:08 Will have to write a wrapper around libpng Feb 06 08:14:13 you could just statically link to it during build Feb 06 08:14:39 or jump the firey hoops of libpng Feb 06 08:15:01 erf, 2GB microSD is like 4.4€ Feb 06 08:15:04 can't statically link as it will violate LGPL Feb 06 08:15:05 (generic one) Feb 06 08:16:21 RST38h; I feel for you then, having used the setjmp API of libpng :/ Feb 06 08:17:14 * RST38h can't believe libpng authors could screw up the API this much Feb 06 08:17:51 RST38h; its sort of like the libflac, having a nice get_tags() call, but no way to update tags without reading chunks and other nasties Feb 06 08:18:13 except libpng has no void* getBytesRGBA32( const char* filename ); Feb 06 08:18:30 all they had to do was implement a png_read(file,,imagebuf,&w,&h)... Feb 06 08:19:14 perhaps you're chance at fame and fortune^W fame by sending a patch in? Feb 06 08:19:41 and then waiting 12-18 months for it to hit the desktop/NIT Feb 06 08:19:57 nah, will wrap and use my own wrapper Feb 06 08:20:23 no desire to argue with another bunch of deadenders about shortcomings in their api Feb 06 08:20:23 that's my policy ;) Feb 06 08:28:12 gdbm fatal: write error Feb 06 08:28:16 mm: I hate you Feb 06 08:32:45 hhmh. Feb 06 08:32:51 the device is loop-rebooting >< Feb 06 08:33:22 hate when that happens Feb 06 08:33:38 what should I do? Feb 06 08:33:51 for future reference: get fanoush's bootmenu or the bootmenu from mer, and add in usb networking telnetd :P is a saver Feb 06 08:33:52 is there some kind of safe mode, something like that? Feb 06 08:34:19 nop. oone of the things we try to solve for mer :P Feb 06 08:34:45 only solution would be to reflash the stuff? :/ Feb 06 08:35:27 correct - and grab the bootmenu.install right after Feb 06 08:35:48 it really saves your ass once in a while :P Feb 06 08:37:21 ok maybe I should go and buy an SD card *before* going to fosdem Feb 06 08:45:40 the worst is having to redo the GPS fix Feb 06 08:47:32 * Mousey cries Feb 06 08:48:00 hmh, I think I managed to start it with init=/bin/sh Feb 06 08:48:04 but that's just useless Feb 06 08:48:14 Corsac: bootmenu works without SD card, btw Feb 06 08:48:32 yeah but I want to put Mer on an SD card Feb 06 08:49:03 and if I take the time to reflash and reconfigure it, maybe I should take the time to install mer too Feb 06 08:49:11 ah Feb 06 08:49:26 meeting up with the rest of the maemo peeps on fosdem? Feb 06 08:49:43 more with debian/xfce guys Feb 06 08:49:50 k Feb 06 08:49:55 http://wiki.maemo.org/FOSDEM_2009 <- Feb 06 08:50:45 is the mer install a flashable image? Feb 06 08:51:02 i have one in store but APT fucks up on jffs2 Feb 06 08:51:30 so it's kinda useless Feb 06 08:53:00 hmh ok Feb 06 08:53:43 problem with me going to buy an SD card is that I'll buy a new HD for my thinkpad too Feb 06 08:56:07 duh Feb 06 08:56:10 it stopped rebooting Feb 06 08:57:01 Stskeeps: where is the bootmenu.install you talked about? Feb 06 09:00:29 sec Feb 06 09:00:36 /dev/mtdblock4 255488 252840 2648 99% / Feb 06 09:00:41 I guess it's related Feb 06 09:02:52 pff, why is /home not on the memory card Feb 06 09:04:14 it is in fremantle :P Feb 06 09:04:21 at least , /home/user/MyDocs Feb 06 09:04:57 extras repository, and http://packages.tspre.org/pool/user/b/bootmenu/bootmenu_1.5-1_armel.deb Feb 06 09:06:09 Morning, all Feb 06 09:06:16 hmhm, I have extra repository and no bootmenu Feb 06 09:06:49 ah, i meant, you need extras repo enabled, and then grab that deb Feb 06 09:06:50 oh, I'll just setup it Feb 06 09:06:52 ok Feb 06 09:07:04 adding the deblet repository doesn't look like a good idea? Feb 06 09:07:21 correct, and you dont have to :P Feb 06 09:07:33 just add extras repository, and grab that deb through browser or wget :P Feb 06 09:07:35 -sh: wget: not found Feb 06 09:07:36 pfff Feb 06 09:07:37 it needs 'rootsh' installed Feb 06 09:07:37 :P Feb 06 09:07:58 and deblet repository is fine, just stick with the 'installer' distribution codename ;) Feb 06 09:18:26 * Stskeeps listens to the mer builder Feb 06 09:22:42 morning lbt Feb 06 09:22:55 morning :) Feb 06 09:23:13 Stskeeps: will a 16Go microSD HC work with n810? Feb 06 09:23:15 we're snowed in Feb 06 09:23:24 Corsac: think so Feb 06 09:23:33 i don't own a n810 though Feb 06 09:29:00 Morning Feb 06 09:32:20 hmhm, I wonder if it's possible to generate a maemo-mapper db from outside the tablet Feb 06 09:33:41 i think i did once really Feb 06 09:34:40 it takes ages on the device Feb 06 09:35:46 check ITT, there's probably some guides Feb 06 09:35:59 another solution would be to use scratchbox on the laptop, but I don't really have time to do that atm :/ Feb 06 09:36:43 Stskeeps: can I use cups on my N800? Feb 06 09:37:05 radic: er, think it's in scratchbox-devel Feb 06 09:37:17 Corsac: technically you can do it in Mer VMDK probably Feb 06 09:37:29 .. but dont go there, maemo-select-location is messed up Feb 06 09:37:58 Stskeeps: but in the software that I use is no printing-support Feb 06 09:38:15 radic: if they exporrt to pdf that's usable :P Feb 06 09:38:58 hmm Feb 06 09:41:56 morning qwerty12 Feb 06 09:42:05 hi Stskeeps :) Feb 06 09:42:09 hi qwerty12 Feb 06 09:42:16 hey radic :) Feb 06 09:42:43 qwerty12: snowed in? ;) Feb 06 09:43:12 No, feeling really shitty :( Feb 06 09:43:48 aw :( Feb 06 09:44:27 i'm working on the 3rd party close sourced package stuff and hoping by god i didn't mess it up totally in the 0.7 thread Feb 06 09:45:27 I think you handled it fine and qgil is doing a good job by offering this opportunity. I just think that some iTT members are overreacting. Feb 06 09:46:47 Stskeeps: anyway I don't really have time for that Feb 06 09:47:35 wtf @ eff-content-fonts.. only thing depending on it is, maemo-blocks Feb 06 09:50:16 Stskeeps: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:Onion/Mapper#Using_CLI_osm2db Feb 06 09:53:59 k Feb 06 09:54:08 (it doesn't really build though) Feb 06 10:01:41 We landed...

Feb 06 10:32:25 Stskeeps: will do shortly Feb 06 10:32:26 good morning Feb 06 10:32:43 Jaffa: thanks Feb 06 10:32:43 morning florian Feb 06 10:32:59 Lcuk: you mean my two six jack power strips? :) Feb 06 10:44:06 ok and the “mapper” (not “maemo mapper”) address search doesn't work at all Feb 06 10:53:09 anyone out there who has managed to run mer 0.7 on a 770? Feb 06 11:02:37 meetpatty: i planned to, got trouble Feb 06 11:02:48 meetpatty: but the wifi isnt ready i think Feb 06 11:02:54 meetpatty: r2d2rogers has, I believe Feb 06 11:03:20 'lo meetpatty Feb 06 11:03:38 hey Feb 06 11:05:24 * Stskeeps yawns Feb 06 11:06:18 did any of you made to work the video chat between Maemo and a Linux computer? Gizmo 4.0 isn't available for linux and I tried using Empathy in order to use the "official" video support, but I didn't get very lucky Feb 06 11:06:46 audio works, but video isn't sent for some reason Feb 06 11:06:59 i think there is a guide on iTT somewhere Feb 06 11:07:06 (using Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex) Feb 06 11:08:21 Stskeeps, I've seen a few posts about it, there is where I got the idea of Empathy, some guy even suggested to use SIP accounts but it's quite rare to find one that let's you use video Feb 06 11:08:38 apart from finding a SIP client in Linux with video support Feb 06 11:08:50 (I think he suggested X-Lite in windows) Feb 06 11:50:12 Stskeeps: http://wiki.maemo.org/User:Stskeeps/Sandbox/Nokia_Wishlist Feb 06 11:51:36 * timelE61i arrives Feb 06 11:51:36 Jaffa: i kinda intentionally didn't put flash on due to the discussions on it Feb 06 11:51:44 their agreement with flash is very specific so Feb 06 11:52:38 Stskeeps: "citation needed" Feb 06 11:52:52 It's silly not to ask and be told definitively. Feb 06 11:53:00 k Feb 06 11:53:25 Why's it different to any other 3rd party stuff? We're not lawyers, and haven't seen the licences anyway. Feb 06 11:53:30 so, anyone here understand the builder? Feb 06 11:53:50 Jaffa: i haven't seen the licenses either Feb 06 11:53:53 Stskeeps: I also inverted the colours so that red was more important Feb 06 11:54:23 Jaffa: citation needed: Feb 06 11:54:25 qgil: For instance, Flash belongs to Adobe and Skype belongs to Skype Inc. The agreements signed with these companies are framed for official releases going through a quite demanding quality process. If Nokia would let the Mer team (or whoever) grab those binaries for other purposes then those agreements would be in trouble, affecting e.g. the negotiations for Fremantle. Feb 06 11:54:31 EDIT: By the way, forget about an official endorsement on 3rd party applications. 3rd party platform components essential to get the hardware running are a different and more feasible story. Feb 06 11:54:35 that's why :P Feb 06 11:55:03 http://internettablettalk.com/forums/showpost.php?p=261619&postcount=26 Feb 06 11:55:25 Stskeeps: wasn't that in response to a "just grab it out of the firmware" suggestion by someone (talking out of their arse) Feb 06 11:55:28 ? Feb 06 11:55:32 nop Feb 06 11:55:50 Bollocks Feb 06 11:56:07 (or some other suitable interjection indicating dismay) Feb 06 11:56:37 Stskeeps: the paragraph before the bit you quote is also quite important. Feb 06 11:56:54 mm Feb 06 11:56:57 And the "If Nokia would let" is key, rather than "If Nokia and Adobe decide to let" Feb 06 11:57:07 So, I still think it's worth asking. Feb 06 11:57:36 i think it should be a 3) and a green instead personally Feb 06 11:57:39 i.e. the point (I think) he is making is that Nokia can't decide to let anyone do anything with Flash & Skype, without asking their owners. Feb 06 11:57:52 Is Flash "advanced" usage of an internet tablet? Feb 06 11:57:53 to not get them to go into a raving frenzy :P Feb 06 11:57:58 timelE61i: Still problems? Feb 06 11:58:07 It may not be P2 - personally, I think end-users will think it might be ;-) Feb 06 11:58:39 * Jaffa also wasn't sure whether handwriting recognition is advanced, or what the priority should be. Feb 06 11:58:45 Your doc - edit as you like ;-) Feb 06 12:01:46 if you'd like to as a council member to take on this task you're welcome, - my temper isn't so good with this kind of stuff :) IMHO, when the mail is sent, Red should be indicated as "Important for the success of community firmware images, from technical point of view" "Grey/Green as end-user success of community firmware images - end-users have shown interest in this being possible and it would be good to have a final yes or no if it would be" Feb 06 12:01:50 Many licensing deals are per-device-installed/sold, which makes them of course tricky/impossible to just give away. Feb 06 12:02:02 yeah, obviously Feb 06 12:02:21 and our statement isn't giving away, should -only- go to tablet devices Feb 06 12:03:02 And also certification is required. If Mer does something wrong which causes Flash to suck, it reflects bad on Adobe. Feb 06 12:03:03 i (personally) don't care about anything other than HW, :P Feb 06 12:03:14 Very delicate ;) Feb 06 12:03:18 No harm in asking, of course, but some of the deals might be of such a nature that Nokia doesn't even want to disclose the terms. Feb 06 12:03:30 *nod* Feb 06 12:03:48 i'm happy enough with a Yes/No on he more delicate stuff :P Feb 06 12:05:15 bye & see you at fosdem Feb 06 12:05:18 hf Feb 06 12:41:33 meh, my n810 got powered out during the night Feb 06 12:43:51 x-fade. I just need to know if i need to repush Feb 06 12:46:33 Hi dneary Feb 06 12:46:42 timelE61i: I missed the problem. What broke? Feb 06 12:46:59 the meta package Feb 06 12:47:09 Which is mostly a stupid thing Feb 06 12:47:55 Since i'd rather avoid making dozens of updates to the meta package Feb 06 12:48:42 lo all Feb 06 12:50:12 timelE61i: Do you want me to remove it? Feb 06 12:58:04 hi gladiac Feb 06 12:58:13 gladiac: Still hanging around qutecom? Feb 06 12:58:52 dneary: yep, and sometimes fixing bugs Feb 06 12:59:00 x-fade: can you ask the builder to try again for the meta @ 0.1.1 Feb 06 12:59:28 gladiac: Happy with how things have gone with MBDSys? Feb 06 12:59:35 bUt really, can we fix application manager? :) Feb 06 13:00:04 No, I can't. I need to remove it from the repo and then copy the source package to the queue again. Feb 06 13:00:18 gladiac: I've been a bit disappointedthat they haven't managed to get a 2.2 out yet, but it seems like they really want a quality product Feb 06 13:01:08 ok, can you do that? :) Feb 06 13:01:16 timelE61i: Yep :) Feb 06 13:01:20 thanks Feb 06 13:01:27 Wait Feb 06 13:01:32 language-support-translations-enus1 right? Feb 06 13:01:34 How is it in the repo? Feb 06 13:01:47 Yeah, but 0.1.1, not 0.1 Feb 06 13:01:58 dneary: they work on the next version of qutecom behind closed doors Feb 06 13:02:11 but they still fix bugs in qutecom 2.2 Feb 06 13:02:32 qutecom 2.2 is more or less stable now, it still has serveral bugs Feb 06 13:02:42 timelE61i: Only 0.1 is in the repo, sorry. Feb 06 13:03:02 gladiac: They've mostly been fixing bugs for clients that are getting customised QuteCom versions - like the A1 Austrian guys Feb 06 13:03:16 dneary: I don't need a sip softphone atm so I focus on other things, like my file synchronizer Feb 06 13:03:36 A1 fixed a lot of bugs Feb 06 13:04:08 timelE61i: 0.1.1 failed because of depencency parse error? Feb 06 13:04:10 timelE61i: https://garage.maemo.org/builder/diablo/language-support-translations-enus1_0.1.1/i386.build.log.FAILED.txt Feb 06 13:05:19 Yeah, what in the world does that mean? Feb 06 13:05:39 Afaiu what i wrote was legal Feb 06 13:10:50 timelE61i: Apparently not ;) Feb 06 13:11:41 hi Feb 06 13:12:44 anyone alive? Feb 06 13:13:03 nah Feb 06 13:13:38 can you figure out why/how to fix it? Feb 06 13:14:07 Your package actually builds fine in a Mer chroot... Feb 06 13:15:00 has anyone found their n810 screens to be inaccurate? Feb 06 13:15:27 user_: Did you re-calibrate it? Feb 06 13:15:29 qwerty: 0.1.1? Feb 06 13:15:40 timelE61i, yep Feb 06 13:15:55 X-fade: m guess is it's a timing issue, and the packages weren't all present Feb 06 13:15:57 x-fade: Yes Feb 06 13:16:05 timelE61i: I'll resubmit. Feb 06 13:16:09 thanks Feb 06 13:16:29 qwerty12_N800, bash-completion, next mer release, good/bad idea? Feb 06 13:16:30 x-fade: several times, in fact. Feb 06 13:16:50 user_: Very inacurate or just a little? Feb 06 13:16:58 user_, screen protector in use? Feb 06 13:17:13 pretty darn inaccurate Feb 06 13:17:15 no Feb 06 13:17:27 no screen protector Feb 06 13:17:43 StsN801, uber wicked but the tablet does slow down a when spawning bash from xterm & ssh in Maemo Feb 06 13:17:58 true Feb 06 13:18:31 it seems particularly bad at the right of the screen Feb 06 13:18:35 user_: how much is pretty darn? In mm? Feb 06 13:18:41 Stskeeps, But the usefulness of it cannot be denied, I always make sure to install it in Maemo. But a cut down version may be nice. Feb 06 13:18:51 using the scrollbars is very difficult Feb 06 13:18:55 qwerty12_N800, k Feb 06 13:19:17 probably a good 20 pixels off Feb 06 13:19:50 but sometimes it's to the right and other times it's to the left Feb 06 13:19:52 user_, i can recommend scr protector from day 1.. scratches are nasty Feb 06 13:21:38 isn't the screen made of glass? Feb 06 13:21:58 and this is day 14 or so Feb 06 13:22:05 user_: Touchscreen is a layer on top of the screen. Feb 06 13:22:09 Is that a serious question? Feb 06 13:22:22 worked fine until i calibrated it for the first time Feb 06 13:22:49 user_: Try to calibrate that section deliberately to the left of the cross? Feb 06 13:24:37 user_, it will revert calibration with a reflash Feb 06 13:25:38 * RST38h moos Feb 06 13:25:51 hi RST38h Feb 06 13:27:01 How to reflash my nokia n810?

Feb 06 13:31:01 X-Fade, doesn't Adobe manage that well enough by themselves? ;) Feb 06 13:31:29 X-Fade, it was short lived, but I'm still a bit puny. Feb 06 13:31:56 lbt, maybe would help? ;) Feb 06 13:32:07 I'm on it Feb 06 13:32:28 sorry sandman - did you find what you need? Feb 06 13:32:48 No Feb 06 13:32:52 But I have to go for a bit here anyway Feb 06 13:32:53 section 4 Feb 06 13:32:56 qwerty: can you figure out why builder doesn't like me? Feb 06 13:33:06 http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_tablet_firmware#Flashing_on_Windows Feb 06 13:33:55 X-Fade, I had a chat with tekojo about 'webmaster' emails for maemo.org and he suggested a 'spring cleaning'-themed sprint sometime in the next few months. Feb 06 13:33:59 timelE61i, no idea, it really all does look correct :). If I can figure it out, I'll let you know Feb 06 13:34:58 GAN800: Sure// Feb 06 13:35:56 X-Fade, April seems like it might be good. Feb 06 13:37:21 is this accurate? http://wiki.maemo.org/index.php?title=Karma&curid=1238&diff=10717&oldid=10668&rcid=10720 Feb 06 13:38:08 GAN800: I thought it was one. Feb 06 13:38:12 Clones! Feb 06 13:38:22 X-Fade, as did I. Feb 06 13:39:20 GAN800: No, he is right. Feb 06 13:39:34 Oh really? Huh Feb 06 13:39:40 'karma_discussion_modifier' => 2, Feb 06 13:39:46 Probably should be one. Feb 06 13:39:54 Yeah. Feb 06 13:41:44 GAN800: It probably wasn't noticed because mail importing is a bit broken ;) Feb 06 13:42:08 Hehe Feb 06 13:42:42 The karma's gonna end up inversed just before Nokia pulls to hand out device codes. ;) Feb 06 13:47:23 i think karma should be randomized daily Feb 06 13:48:15 we have all these methods for INCREASING karma, but non for decreasing it really Feb 06 13:48:27 lcuk: Well, we had one.. Feb 06 13:48:44 lcuk: But that one wasn't received very well. Feb 06 13:49:15 thats cos ppl didnt realise it was linked to anything, i mean something more opaque and obvious Feb 06 13:49:27 like a swear jar, something the user himself would have to fall into Feb 06 13:49:41 oh shit Feb 06 13:49:49 karmabot: lcuk, you just lost 1 karma point Feb 06 13:50:19 Bacon++ ? Feb 06 13:50:28 * qwerty12_N800 would probably be down to zero if that was implemented... Feb 06 13:50:30 thats just positiva karma allthe way Feb 06 13:50:51 lol qwerty12_N800 Feb 06 13:51:28 if the tablet detects you press too hard with stylus ("BAD TOUCH! BAD TOUCH!") then it should cry out and cancel all karma for the week Feb 06 13:52:57 :D i just realised , peoplecould be placed in a sinbin!!! that would work better than negating karma, its just whatever they do during a short interval (1/3/7 days etc) will not be accounted Feb 06 13:53:15 and you could have the inverse with a hot zone where it doubles your karma if you are on a run :D Feb 06 13:53:45 cow orker is sleeping, how would i best get back at him? Feb 06 13:53:49 * Stskeeps is pleased no broken compiles has happened with mer-on-top-of-armv4t so far Feb 06 13:53:51 should i call the boss into the office?

Feb 06 13:56:57 ill rig up the gas thing on his chair so i can scare the shat out of him (from a distance) next time he does it Feb 06 13:57:43 lcuk: Or put his hand in a bowl of water ;) Feb 06 13:58:02 you have been in this situation before Feb 06 13:58:19 of course :P Feb 06 13:58:45 s/you/x-fade, you/ Feb 06 13:58:45 lcuk meant: x-fade, you have been in this situation before Feb 06 13:58:45 :P Feb 06 13:58:52 :P Feb 06 13:58:56 lcuk: so, what gadgets do you have at home?

Feb 06 19:30:02 strongly, rather. Feb 06 19:30:06 Anyone have experience with this? Feb 06 19:31:22 do subsequent lines function properly? Feb 06 19:32:09 I'm just trying to make a dot Feb 06 19:32:12 I just tap the screen Feb 06 19:32:15 And it makes a line, instead Feb 06 19:32:18 And no Feb 06 19:32:33 This would likely explain why it is so difficult for me to click anything on my n810 Feb 06 19:32:40 I always reflashed the device Feb 06 19:32:43 Same problem is still there Feb 06 19:33:23 And now it's clicking Feb 06 19:33:28 Even though Im not pressing anything Feb 06 19:33:42 it keeps clicking as if I were touching the scren Feb 06 19:36:55 There's some sort of desync between the xserver and what's being tapped on the screen Feb 06 19:37:01 This is rather obvious to me Feb 06 19:37:04 re Feb 06 19:38:18 And, at random Feb 06 19:38:20 In sketch Feb 06 19:38:27 a dot will be drawn and the very center of the screen Feb 06 19:38:30 When I haven't even touched it Feb 06 19:38:39 And it'll keep doing that. Like a ghost is doing it Feb 06 19:40:25 I figured nobody would be able to help Feb 06 20:02:20 sandman: sounds like a faulty screen Feb 06 20:03:06 i have to praise nokia for the build quality Feb 06 20:03:44 mine has suffered some bad abuse without breaking Feb 06 20:04:01 *have Feb 06 20:26:20 Huh. Well, it just seems rather odd that the screen would be _this_ bad. What's strange is that it doesn't appear to be actually faulty Feb 06 20:26:30 Really seems like an X problem. But whatever Feb 06 20:26:32 I'll return it Feb 06 20:26:34 I guess Feb 06 21:12:15 :( tslib can't init Feb 06 21:13:17 do i need some magic except for xorg.conf and driver? Feb 06 21:23:37 N900, Palm Pre, New Laptop -- all sorts of new purchases this year Feb 06 21:44:59 It's ridiculous but Russia doe not have any free weather forecast sources :) Feb 06 21:45:30 I mean RSS sources Feb 06 21:48:25 in russia, the weather forecasts you! Feb 06 21:49:10 <||cw> in ^soviet^ russia Feb 06 21:49:28 In the UK, the weather fucks you over! Feb 06 21:51:03 roope: it's been here a while ago :) Feb 06 21:51:54 * wazd writing a letter to BBC Feb 06 21:53:01 hope they're good guys Feb 06 21:54:28 the nokia maemo bugzilla (as least once) had this: In Soviet Russia, the bugs keep track of you! Feb 06 21:55:20 hehe, sounds kinda creepy :) Feb 06 21:55:41 * qwerty12_N800 imagines a bunch of bugs looking at CCTV footage Feb 06 21:56:12 bug tracks bugzilla Feb 06 21:56:18 and bugzilla tracks you! Feb 06 21:57:03 Or something like that. Feb 06 21:57:06 ok, I surrender, I don't know where's BBC's weather contacts Feb 06 22:19:21 Hey if I open a file to edit it with vim in terminal how to I close and save it Feb 06 22:20:23 :wq Feb 06 22:20:44 pressing esc first before the above Feb 06 22:22:52 or esc, then ZZ Feb 06 22:23:53 and if you can't press esc, then ctrl-o, then ZZ :-) Feb 06 22:24:32 Almost like windows - a 1001 ways to do one thing :) Feb 06 22:24:38 Damn, Samsung's got an S60 phone. . . . Feb 06 22:25:13 qwerty12_N800, with the exception that with vim you can actually get the job done Feb 06 22:25:32 wnd, hehe, indeed :) Feb 06 22:26:12 wazd, the met office Feb 06 22:27:16 * lcuk smiles even more tonight Feb 06 22:27:17 lcuk, seen their prices for businesses? Don't think they're gonna give free access, even for an open source app :/ Feb 06 22:27:50 if we were america we would be able to use them :) us gov has no copyright over the data it produces Feb 06 22:28:09 ok rebooting to Mer to see if I fixed it Feb 06 22:30:24 * wazd packs his bags to UK :) Feb 06 22:30:51 its a reasonable license for us actually Feb 06 22:31:07 i thought it was only us gov, but we have access to use the data privately as well Feb 06 22:31:26 he material featured on this site is subject to Crown copyright protection unless otherwise indicated.

XD Feb 06 22:44:57 lcuk: I saw html with forecast, but there's no RSS :) Feb 06 22:45:01 oh Feb 06 22:45:23 Train just crashed into our room I suppose :) Feb 06 22:46:44 http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/ wazd Feb 06 22:53:44 I know bout BBC, but they have no e-mail for contact :) Feb 06 22:53:59 Thats what started the whole conversation :) Feb 06 22:54:19 wazd: looked at the data on http://backstage.bbc.co.uk/ - dunno if they've got a weather feed there Feb 06 22:54:33 * Jaffa wouldn't bother trying to contact UK broadcasters; well, not ITV. Feb 06 22:54:49 BBC has the feed :) Feb 06 22:55:22 But it hasn't got any contact e-mail to ask them if they mind about its usage) Feb 06 22:55:41 It'll say somewhere already, I'm sure Feb 06 22:55:53 You could try the BBC Duty Office Feb 06 22:56:36 I think I'll try to write to the backstage Feb 06 22:57:22 They will redirect me to the right place if I miss Feb 06 23:06:48 ok, done Feb 06 23:12:46 Jaffa, did you get the email I forwarded? Feb 06 23:18:42 hehe, weird screenshot: http://s57.radikal.ru/i157/0902/53/5d257a3e317f.jpg Feb 06 23:19:25 Just realized that BBC cant forecast for Foscow :) Feb 06 23:19:38 s/Foscow/Moscow Feb 06 23:24:47 wazd, can you make the 7-day lettering a little larger? Feb 06 23:26:47 I now have a general purpose QFingerScrollArea :) Feb 06 23:28:08 GeneralAntilles: you mean 10-day row? Feb 06 23:31:42 wazd, er, however many items are down there. :P Feb 06 23:33:23 GeneralAntilles: well, it now has the biggest possible size to fit 3 digits Feb 06 23:41:15 The info looks t i n y on the device screen. Feb 06 23:41:21 it's small even on my huge desktop monitor. Feb 06 23:41:49 The Moscow, Russia dna the -8 is about good size, but otherwise, it's too small. Feb 06 23:42:07 Perhaps it'd be worth sticking to a 7-day to fit more in? Feb 06 23:42:50 I'd suggest sticking to a 2- or 3-day forecast. Or doing 2 or 3 days properly and then perhaps an icon for the rest of the days. Feb 06 23:43:12 People tend to care about today and tomorrow, mostly. Forecast are not accurate anyway after a few days. Feb 06 23:43:16 it's just a selector Feb 06 23:43:28 10-day forcasts suck anyway. Feb 06 23:43:52 Or 2/3 days then a graph... graphs are cool. Feb 06 23:43:54 Well, whatever, as long as it's selectable in options. Feb 06 23:44:23 I use NOAA's 48-hour graph forecast, mainly. Feb 06 23:44:26 we'd support as much days as possible) Feb 06 23:44:47 wazd: please try the screenshot on the N810 screen. It's awfully small text. Feb 06 23:45:06 nobody over 40 bothers to even read so small text. :) Feb 06 23:45:29 * benson is glad he's not over 40. Feb 06 23:45:35 wazd, can we define the low/high text color? Feb 06 23:45:36 You're now kind of making the classic mistake of drawing it so that it looks nice on the pc screen. Feb 06 23:45:54 I often use that size text in osso-xterm... Feb 06 23:46:38 I woldn't say that it's "omfg soooo small!11" but yep, it's a bit smaller that I thought :) Feb 06 23:46:50 People want to be able to glance the weather, quickly. Not have to study the sceren intently for data. Feb 06 23:46:56 wazd, do your mockups at 400x240. :P Feb 06 23:47:19 Is that a gameboy or something?) Feb 06 23:47:48 roope: The big picture of a cloud is for people like you. :p Feb 06 23:47:59 It's about the size of the tablet screen at ~96dpi Feb 06 23:48:24 I have a screen with high dpi) Feb 06 23:48:32 almost tablet;s Feb 06 23:49:16 * benson runs 120 DPI, and I haven't seen much finer... tablets are 225 DPI. Feb 06 23:49:53 ymmv, but I still think that one of the best rules is to think in terms of a business card. that's about the size of sceren and amount of information you can fit at one time. Feb 06 23:49:53 i have 1280x768 at 9" :) Feb 06 23:50:10 Yow. Me want. Feb 06 23:50:50 it's like 192 dpi or something Feb 06 23:51:09 the n800/n810 screen is coincidentally almost to the millimeter the same size as a normal business card. Feb 06 23:51:14 HP mininote, or what? Feb 06 23:51:19 yep Feb 06 23:51:24 I can't wait for high-dpi LCDs and resolution-independent WMs Feb 06 23:51:27 roope: Yes, I'd noticed that. Feb 06 23:51:32 * lcuk cant read everything he sees, but can tell what it means :) Feb 06 23:51:38 so if you can't draw your UI to the back of a business card properly then it's too small. :) Feb 06 23:52:14 * lcuk prefers to draw his ui on the screen :P Feb 06 23:52:15 the main problem is to fit that ammount of info on one screen Feb 06 23:53:06 wazd ;) let the user decide, some like small text and lots of detail, others like big easy read numbers visible from orbit Feb 06 23:53:07 I thought to use icons to get rid of "humidity" and so on Feb 06 23:53:34 http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_pr0SDhOy6io/RygUWdiZeNI/AAAAAAAAAFo/VwHx_4qz9Bg/s400/IMG_9001.JPG Feb 06 23:53:35 so it will borrow me some space to enlarge the font Feb 06 23:53:50 basically, you shouldn't even try. Or then make it pannable. Feb 06 23:54:18 hang on, i just realized wazd, why do you need to show the weather in 2 languages? Feb 06 23:54:24 Who cares if the air pressure is 755.69 mmHg? Feb 06 23:54:34 Does anybody relate to that number. What does it even mean. Feb 06 23:54:37 Meteorologists? Feb 06 23:54:43 lcuk: cause it's multilanguage test :) Feb 06 23:54:44 Do they need the app? Feb 06 23:54:55 I care :( Feb 06 23:55:00 roope, my dad cares, he goes hang gliding Feb 06 23:55:03 I'm very pressure sesitive ( Feb 06 23:55:04 It's cool to have it there, I like it. Feb 06 23:55:06 Hehe Feb 06 23:55:26 * lcuk squashes wazd Feb 06 23:55:27 roope, from watching hurricanes all my life, I can usually divine something from pressure. Feb 06 23:55:32 But yes. You could have a big today on the left side, a big tomorrow on the right side. Feb 06 23:55:46 lcuk: the worst language is italian Feb 06 23:55:57 lcuk: it has ridiculously long words Feb 06 23:56:01 For pressure ... something like a chart would tell at least something. you could know if it's going up or down. Feb 06 23:56:07 but an individual number dosen't really tell anything. Feb 06 23:56:12 evening Feb 06 23:56:20 then make the barometer be a real barometer Feb 06 23:56:28 wazd, OK, stock ticker for pressure. ;) Feb 06 23:56:28 and if you click it it can show a graph Feb 06 23:56:30 If I have to pick from between old-people-friendly fonts and adding more cool (but not very useful) info, I'll go with the info. Feb 06 23:56:48 Ideally there should be options for both use-cases. Feb 06 23:56:56 benson, what if you could have both - a palette of available views Feb 06 23:57:06 choose what you like or roll your own Feb 06 23:57:17 its just a data view at the end of the day Feb 06 23:57:22 Then I wouldn't have to pick; that's what the conditional was there for. Feb 06 23:57:24 theres a list of available options ? Feb 06 23:58:11 I'm a big fan of configurability. Feb 06 23:58:35 I'm trying my best to remove configurabiility always when possible. :) Feb 06 23:58:43 When I was planning this UI I thought" well, you'll need imediate info bout degrees, so let's make them as large as possible. Other info is secondary so it's smaller" Feb 06 23:59:14 roope, people like to choose options and click switches and play around. i personally hated express on covers for phones, but plenty of people made a packet from such a silly thing Feb 06 23:59:36 "when possible"? Is this possibility perchance governed by mobs of angry users with torches? Cause I could get down with that... ;) Feb 06 23:59:49 People like to personalize their device, yes. Feb 06 23:59:50 * lcuk takes away bensons dpad Feb 07 00:00:03 But I think it's ... personalization is something a bit different. Feb 07 00:00:16 I'm all for adding personalization, making the device unique to the user. Feb 07 00:00:22 I think the oly option you'll have with this screen is wallpaper and icons :) Feb 07 00:00:51 roope, see, the problem with removing configurability is that you end up with broken shit like Modest. Feb 07 00:00:53 * benson screams. Feb 07 00:01:06 yes, agreed a horrid options screen with convoluted silly named options which dont mean anything or are finicky or hard is bad. but giving the user a choice of different alternative views (some old people ones, and some highly technical ones) and a simple way to change them makes life good Feb 07 00:01:11 That can't fit a plaintext email without wrapping it and screwing up the formatting. Feb 07 00:01:16 I just can't see any more options to change :) Feb 07 00:01:22 ga: well, the more options something like Modest has, the more there is to implement, the more there is that can go wrong. Feb 07 00:01:25 wazd, then make a brand new one Feb 07 00:01:26 Could the zoom level stick? Or could we change the font size? No and no. Feb 07 00:01:39 I actually am less concerned about personalization and more with _functional_ configurability, because I don't trust software to come to me perfect. Feb 07 00:01:40 roope, well, Modest seems to have gone wrong enough without any options. :) Feb 07 00:01:41 no options Feb 07 00:01:42 I don't see any correlation between adding configurability and making Modest better. Feb 07 00:01:45 just a different alternative view Feb 07 00:01:51 and ill make one Feb 07 00:01:53 It just makes it harder to debug and develop. Feb 07 00:01:54 and gan can make one Feb 07 00:01:54 roope, have you _used_ the damn thing? Feb 07 00:02:00 and roope can make one (with no dpad) Feb 07 00:02:07 and we can let the users choose which they want Feb 07 00:02:08 I guess you mean the Diablo one? Feb 07 00:02:28 lcuk: and if they don't like one, _they_ can make one, too! Feb 07 00:02:31 roope, yes, the horrifying abortion of an email client Nokia foisted on us then refused to fix. :\ Feb 07 00:02:50 Well. umm. Feb 07 00:02:50 lcuk: let's make a console app. Wanna UI? Make it! :) Feb 07 00:02:55 benson YES 100% absolutely, and they can let their friends use it Feb 07 00:03:26 I can't let users to change UI due to legal issues :) Feb 07 00:03:29 roope, yes, I agree with you that too much configurability is undesirable Feb 07 00:03:35 wazd :) you can only see a fraction of what i can see regarding ui, you have a keen eye but i want everyone to have a say in what screens look like Feb 07 00:03:39 it confuses people and generally turns them off. Feb 07 00:04:00 I see it more of a development and design problem really. Feb 07 00:04:08 But at the other end of the spectrum we've got applications that simply aren't functional because A. the defaults are broken (which can be fixed) and B. have no configurability. Feb 07 00:04:23 If something has a hundred settings, and the app works perfectly, having them there doesn't really harm the users. Feb 07 00:04:29 +1 Feb 07 00:04:49 But the problem is getting so far: hundred settings makes for a thousand combinations, making them all work perfectly, in all the error cases etc., is pretty much hopeless. Feb 07 00:04:55 roope: well, I thought thats what OMW was all this time) Feb 07 00:04:55 GeneralAntilles: I'd say too many twiddly-options are undesirable; it's the controls, not the actual level of configurability, that hurts. Feb 07 00:05:00 if there is a way for users to configure those settings and store/share them as profiles that is also good Feb 07 00:05:17 We have these tablet devices which are basically tiny laptops, but Nokia seems insistent on dumbing them down to make them unusable. Feb 07 00:05:20 OMW always had as maximum configurability as possible Feb 07 00:05:29 sorry, I don't know OMW. Feb 07 00:05:30 And it will have Feb 07 00:05:39 OMWeather :) Feb 07 00:05:46 oh, that i know. :) Feb 07 00:05:54 benson, user level options should simply be profile based "simple, complex, technical,antique, custom" only custom should open the complex ui tickboxes etc (thats way in the future though for now) Feb 07 00:06:02 Making the zoom setting stick or adding font size configuration to Modest would make me much happier Feb 07 00:06:07 wazd, configurable for technical folks Feb 07 00:06:12 But every request to fix it is met with "that's too many options" Feb 07 00:06:40 lcuk: well, I think now OMW has plenty of options configurable thru simple UI :) Feb 07 00:06:47 lcuk: even I can do that! :) Feb 07 00:07:02 yes wazd, can you save them and send them to me easily? Feb 07 00:07:10 so i can share and use your layout? Feb 07 00:07:14 In the end, we get an unusable email client. Feb 07 00:07:25 or do i need to be a technical user of omw as well? Feb 07 00:07:27 ga: the goal is to make an usable email client. :) Feb 07 00:07:52 lcuk: well, sharing layouts is not what OMW does) Feb 07 00:08:14 lcuk: If we will focus on that type of things we won't have time for weather itself Feb 07 00:08:19 wazd - but that is the missing link, if you COULD share the layout easily, you could make a whizzbang wazd_technical_dark layout and let others have it Feb 07 00:08:50 omw is configurable to technical omw users at present. Feb 07 00:08:59 Again, we can't allow users to change detailed screen Feb 07 00:09:10 Due to banner placement Feb 07 00:09:14 im not asking to Feb 07 00:09:21 im asking you to send me one of your layouts Feb 07 00:09:28 aaaw Feb 07 00:09:31 ga: then again, looking at the competition and their email clients, whether they are good or not (and many are) have no correlation between how configurable they are (or if there is, it is an inverse correlation). Feb 07 00:09:34 You mwan photoshop?)) Feb 07 00:09:39 i dont want to be a technical user who knows how to configure it Feb 07 00:09:43 mean* Feb 07 00:09:43 iPhone has a pretty good email with very little configurability, for instance. Feb 07 00:09:50 i want to just use your wazd_dark_technical view on my tablet Feb 07 00:10:10 but then IF gan made a cool one, why cant i ask him to send me his as well? Feb 07 00:10:42 roope, that goal seems to have been missed. In the insistence on as little configurability as possible, I've got an email client that I have to screw with the zoom settings on to make the text wrap properly every time I open an email. Feb 07 00:10:47 Are we talking bout OMW detailed screen layouts?) Feb 07 00:11:07 yes Feb 07 00:11:08 ga: well, it's a bug of the sw. It shouldn't be up to the user to have to configure something to make them work. Feb 07 00:11:14 A configuration would be the poor choice here. Feb 07 00:11:24 lcuk: We. can't. allow. to change ANYTHING in it Feb 07 00:11:41 lcuk: totally anything Feb 07 00:11:41 so omw on the new system will be locked ? Feb 07 00:11:45 wazd: Why not allow changing anything but the logo? Feb 07 00:11:52 roope, having a strong default setup is laudable and all, but it's something that Nokia seems to consistently fail at. Feb 07 00:12:08 ga: well. We'll try again. :) Feb 07 00:12:09 lcuk: Is current OMW layout changable?) Feb 07 00:12:25 i dont know, im not a technical omw user, ive got it on one of my tablets Feb 07 00:12:26 The new version looks better. Feb 07 00:12:26 or even change the logo, subject to minimum size requirements? Feb 07 00:12:47 roope, and in the mean time I'm stuck on my second tablet in 3 years with an unusable email client. Feb 07 00:12:55 wazd, is omw on the new device going to be a single static unconfigurable system? Feb 07 00:12:56 lcuk: It's not, and almost everybody seems to be happy with that Feb 07 00:12:58 (I mean, change the logo's position) Feb 07 00:13:09 ga: yes. But well. That's the general problem. where to direct development resources to. Feb 07 00:13:26 benson: cause user can set colors that will make the banner be invisible Feb 07 00:13:36 benson: like white for example Feb 07 00:13:54 Hmmm... there are technical fixes to that even. Feb 07 00:13:57 But harder. Feb 07 00:14:05 lcuk: all config options of current OMW will be in the next one Feb 07 00:14:07 wazd, is this app going to be open source? Feb 07 00:14:16 lcuk: sue Feb 07 00:14:20 lcuk: sure Feb 07 00:14:26 quick question, is maemo well used on a palm t|x? Feb 07 00:14:29 Nothing is changing Feb 07 00:14:35 so how will you stop people modifying the layout there? Feb 07 00:14:44 lcuk: we won't Feb 07 00:14:58 lcuk: but we won't help them either Feb 07 00:15:18 ok, so if i use the current omw i can make it do what i like Feb 07 00:15:18 jarrettwold, can you even load Linux on the T|X? Feb 07 00:15:26 Yup Feb 07 00:15:27 show things or hide things Feb 07 00:15:47 * benson ponders oomw: other omw, with full configurability... Feb 07 00:16:17 lcuk: If you'll try to remove banner and make a .deb for it for example - you'll just make harm for OMW :( Feb 07 00:16:21 when i make it do things and create a layout in a certain format, that layout is saved somewhere in ~ isnt it Feb 07 00:16:52 wazd, i dont see why you are against changing anything? Feb 07 00:16:58 its a screen layout Feb 07 00:17:08 lcuk: because of fricking banner :) Feb 07 00:17:26 what banner? Feb 07 00:17:26 lcuk: It allows us to use different weather sources legaly Feb 07 00:17:35 i can use the met office bbc source legally Feb 07 00:17:38 i am in the uk Feb 07 00:17:39 lcuk: BBC sign on the screenshot Feb 07 00:17:42 i am a uk citizen Feb 07 00:17:49 it is produced by the uk government Feb 07 00:17:54 i dont need no frikkin banner Feb 07 00:18:02 You can't change it, because in Soviet Russia, banner fricks you! ;) Feb 07 00:18:04 lcuk: You can't retranslate info without permission Feb 07 00:18:06 can i please have a configurable app :) Feb 07 00:18:22 they give an rss feed for a reason Feb 07 00:18:34 i can use that data for SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH if i want Feb 07 00:18:39 you can have that info just for your personal use Feb 07 00:18:43 its research to know the weather Feb 07 00:18:46 uh Feb 07 00:18:50 just use noaa Feb 07 00:19:26 you know, I've spent much time reading LA's :) Feb 07 00:19:59 what region is lcuk looking for weather data from? Feb 07 00:20:03 In US law, at least, facts are ! copyrightable; unless they make you agree to a license, you can re-present the facts in different presentation, and they have no copyright claims... Feb 07 00:20:41 jarrettwold: NOAA for weather in the UK? Let me know how that works out. :p Feb 07 00:20:48 jarrettwold, im not, im just arguing with wazd about his stupid insistance on a legally enforcable banner in an app Feb 07 00:20:57 oh it's a banner Feb 07 00:20:59 get over it Feb 07 00:21:00 but i would use the met office data Feb 07 00:21:35 we can stick with one source without the banner if you like Feb 07 00:21:45 That will help us a lot in fact :) Feb 07 00:21:54 \o/ yayyy and people in their country can configure sources how they like Feb 07 00:22:16 So with (as I understand) the data being available for personal use, displaying it with no banner should be quite alright legally. Feb 07 00:22:27 now we have got over that, how do we let users share the layouts Feb 07 00:22:57 benson: http://weather.noaa.gov/weather/GB_cc.html Feb 07 00:22:58 benson, i can configure a home weather station to produce rss data Feb 07 00:23:03 noaa weather for the UK Feb 07 00:23:04 CSS might be a little heavyweight, but it would work beautifully.. Feb 07 00:23:29 benson, weather data sits nicely in rss Feb 07 00:24:13 jarrettwold: Current observations, not forecasts? Feb 07 00:24:13 You grant TWC and RSS the right to edit, copy, display, publish and distribute any materials made available on the Services by you. Feb 07 00:24:20 current observations Feb 07 00:24:21 regarding your facts thing benson, what tempr and pressure it is NOW are facts, but a 3 day forecast is derived data Feb 07 00:24:23 that's what weather.com says Feb 07 00:24:32 and we use it :) Feb 07 00:24:35 benson: "Latest7 PM (0) Feb 0628 (-2)24 (-4)29.35 (0994)NNW 3" Feb 07 00:24:36 Fair enough. Feb 07 00:24:38 for benson UK Feb 07 00:24:39 :) Feb 07 00:25:15 aw fuck Feb 07 00:25:16 * benson isn't in the UK, he was pointing at lcuk. ;) Feb 07 00:25:19 wrong line Feb 07 00:25:24 ah lol Feb 07 00:25:57 that looks like perl code to me Feb 07 00:26:00 so anyhow, feel free to jack US data to your hearts content Feb 07 00:26:02 what does it do? Feb 07 00:26:10 that's not perl ;) Feb 07 00:26:19 are you SURE! ? :D Feb 07 00:26:25 You may not modify, publish, transmit, display, participate in the transfer or sale, create derivative works, or in any way exploit, any of the content, in whole or in part. Feb 07 00:26:26 mmmhmmm Feb 07 00:26:34 * benson tried it in perl, and it wiped 3 HDDs. :( Feb 07 00:26:40 HAHAHA Feb 07 00:26:46 lol XD Feb 07 00:26:53 wazd, my browser does that by downloading and interpreting the XML into a clickable visual tree Feb 07 00:26:59 lol Feb 07 00:27:26 Except as otherwise expressly permitted under copyright law, no copying, redistribution, retransmission, publication or commercial exploitation of downloaded material will be permitted without the express written permission of TWC and the copyright owner. Feb 07 00:27:29 Yeah, so until forecasts get a lot better, I buy that they're not facts. Didn't really think of that. Feb 07 00:27:56 so we have to get that written permission to use the service Feb 07 00:27:59 oh well on that note I'm off to find support for palm t|x linux Feb 07 00:28:06 Although, if the forecast were _always_ right, wouldn't it be a fact... Feb 07 00:28:34 lcuk: does what? Feb 07 00:28:46 it copies and transmits the data Feb 07 00:28:54 and creates a derivative Feb 07 00:29:01 cos they supply xml flat text Feb 07 00:29:15 firefox converts it to a tree for me! Feb 07 00:29:18 I was wondering , how close is maemo5 to mer ? Feb 07 00:29:22 lcuk: it doesn't transmit the data, it gets the data Feb 07 00:29:25 And VNC copies it too. Eep! Feb 07 00:29:26 do you think firefox has permission? Feb 07 00:29:43 OMG! what about when it gets copied over the pci express bus! Feb 07 00:29:48 or onto a blit window! Feb 07 00:29:57 rzr, depend on what level you compar Feb 07 00:29:59 e Feb 07 00:30:14 * benson hides under the desk. Feb 07 00:30:14 wazd, does firefox have permission to get the data and process it into something else? Feb 07 00:30:23 on UI at least ? if maemo is based on QT i guess not Feb 07 00:30:24 Are the copyiright police coming? Feb 07 00:30:36 we use maemo 5 pre-alpha2 gtk, libhildon, etc Feb 07 00:30:40 how would they logistically manage all the feeds? Feb 07 00:30:47 lcuk: you know, I'm not a lawyer, I'm a designer, I'd better ask for permission than face problems in future :) Feb 07 00:30:49 benson, you would think Feb 07 00:30:49 and maemo 5 is not qt afaik Feb 07 00:30:59 rzr: no, maemo5 is not Qt based. Feb 07 00:31:11 wazd, why are you deciding which weather service *I* use? Feb 07 00:31:14 It will have available Qt support. Feb 07 00:31:21 I was wondering about the fosdem demos :) Feb 07 00:31:46 unfortunately i wont be there Feb 07 00:31:53 And the next one will have side-by-side, fully supported Qt and GTK; beyond that, we don't know... Feb 07 00:32:04 rzr, maemo4 ran on beagle without big changes afaik.. Feb 07 00:32:06 But dropping GTK seems highly unlikely even then. Feb 07 00:32:44 lcuk: I'm deciding which provider to ship OMW with Feb 07 00:32:56 ok thx for these infos I'll have to announce fosdem and try to promote mer Feb 07 00:33:01 lcuk: to avoid legal problems Feb 07 00:33:30 ~lart copyright law for great justice Feb 07 00:33:30 * infobot calls copyright law on the phone ... the lights are on but nobody's home for great justice Feb 07 00:33:38 wazd, 1 provider? what if it doesnt go close enough - my met office feed does north west uk Feb 07 00:34:03 roope, can we find out which country a tablet is located in? Feb 07 00:34:09 lcuk: we're now making the support of multiple sources Feb 07 00:34:16 wazd, why not hold a small db of countries and providers Feb 07 00:34:26 rzr, mer is basically a different approach to a maemo platform.. some things are similar, some are way different Feb 07 00:35:04 that way, i can happily have my met office and you can have your fixed one which needs a logo Feb 07 00:35:34 and because you have not chosen which is used its not your personal problem about copyright Feb 07 00:35:37 lcuk: I'm not forcing you to use OMW) Feb 07 00:35:41 Stskeeps: mer is not planned at fosdem ? is it Feb 07 00:35:47 its a nice desktop widget to have :) Feb 07 00:36:10 rzr, correct, but some mer (ab)users are going Feb 07 00:36:12 I don't know why are you so mad bout configuring every pixel Feb 07 00:36:19 im not Feb 07 00:36:23 you are) Feb 07 00:36:27 i just dont like fixed unavoidable areas Feb 07 00:36:45 i design in a resolution independent manner i really dont care about a single pixel Feb 07 00:37:11 look at any of my screenshots - none are pixel perfect, but they have an organic realizm to them :) Feb 07 00:37:23 bbl sleep Feb 07 00:37:24 btw, legal agreement with Foreca gave us much more than simle RSS feed Feb 07 00:37:33 Stskeeps: gnite Feb 07 00:37:38 gnite Stskeeps Feb 07 00:37:47 night Feb 07 00:38:45 wazd, about my original thinking, if i just emailed someone the omweather config options from my ~ and they put em on their tablet, would their omweather look like mine? Feb 07 00:38:50 benson: funny that you mentioned graphs cause I'm working on them right now) Feb 07 00:39:14 lcuk: I'm not the right person to ask bout it Feb 07 00:39:25 lcuk: you better ask Vlad Feb 07 00:39:59 ok Feb 07 00:40:13 wazd: cool, I may have to start using omw then. :) Feb 07 00:44:29 And about the banner - I think it's pretty fair to show it to honor the work of forecast-service-guys Feb 07 00:45:44 They are not forcing us to use corporate colors for example, they just happy to be properly mentioned without ask Feb 07 00:49:47 Oh, I'm quite happy to have the banner there... I just don't like restrictions on configurability, especially an overly-broad lockdown of _everything_ when only one thing needs to be controlled. Feb 07 00:50:51 But if the permitted layout is good enough, I can put up with not being able to change it, even if I'm not real happy. Feb 07 00:53:18 benson: I was talking about detailed view only Feb 07 00:53:31 benson: all desktop stuff will remain and without any banners Feb 07 00:55:39 benson: I really don't see any problem in making detailed view non-configurable. I just have to make it well to make most of peole happy with it Feb 07 00:56:29 benson: and we will not work for 10 people to make UI configurable cause it's a waste of precious time. We already working as hard as we can Feb 07 00:57:56 How about bolded version? http://s43.radikal.ru/i100/0902/1d/5a50d91c6073.jpg Feb 07 01:15:54 and a way enlarged version. That's totaly max that I can get from that layout Feb 07 01:15:55 http://i047.radikal.ru/0902/35/75ee18c95cc6.jpg Feb 07 02:01:30 * lcuk fell out Feb 07 02:03:31 * b-man watches some Austin Powers Feb 07 02:27:26 who throws a shoe? Honestly. Feb 07 02:28:50 some crazy person :) Feb 07 02:41:16 anyone good with usbnet who could help me out **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sat Feb 07 02:59:58 2009
