**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Jul 26 02:59:56 2009 Jul 26 06:50:09 hi, any one use http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/load-applet/ to manage a swap partition on external SD? Jul 26 06:53:48 I do. Jul 26 06:54:00 I mean, I use it, I don't think I use it to manage swap Jul 26 06:54:35 ha ha, ok. I have the applet install and a swap partion. i can use "swapon -a" and than "free" to verify Jul 26 06:55:08 but im not understanding how to use the applet to use swap on boot and to let me disable to eject the sd card Jul 26 06:55:28 there's an option for that in Control Panel IIRC Jul 26 06:55:43 wait, I'll grab my N800 Jul 26 06:56:31 yup Jul 26 06:56:44 Control Panel - Memory - Virtual (tab) Jul 26 06:56:46 IIRC? Jul 26 06:56:53 If I recall clearly Jul 26 06:57:57 "Control Panel - Memory - Virtual" is for a swapfile on the root MTD. im useing a swap partion on a differnt MTD.... Jul 26 06:59:15 hmmm, it saves my pagefile on "Internal Memory Card", I wonder if you could edit rc.local to have it swapon from different location Jul 26 07:00:15 I'm not the best person to answer your question, I'm rather noobish when it comes to Maemo ;( Jul 26 07:02:50 i got ya. i was tring to avoid the swapfile all together and stick with the partiions Jul 26 07:03:14 will chekc out the rc.local though and see if i get any ideas Jul 26 07:03:15 thanks Jul 26 07:04:13 tom-davidson, just do `swapon /dev/whatever_partition`? Jul 26 07:04:44 slonopotamus: he want to have it automagically, if I understand him correctly Jul 26 07:05:36 right. from the cli i can do that. tright to have to auto at boot and an applet so i can eject my sd card with out the system crashing. load-applet says it can manage thw swap, but i not seeing how Jul 26 07:07:06 create init script then Jul 26 07:07:27 hmm, no, wait Jul 26 07:08:10 just put it into /etc/fstab? :) Jul 26 07:08:25 that would work, I think Jul 26 07:08:47 that's the proper way, btw :) Jul 26 07:09:11 then you would need script with swapoff and you're good to go Jul 26 07:09:35 only problem is when you have too much memory swapped and you /sbin/swapoff it ;) Jul 26 07:12:40 fstab should boot auto... i need to find out what my entry is not. Jul 26 07:12:41 /dev/mmcblk1p2 swap swap defaults 0 0 Jul 26 07:13:33 this applet claims to handle the swap, but i dont see the options... http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/load-applet/ Jul 26 07:19:46 anyone want to install it and report your experiance? Jul 26 07:20:49 as I said I have it and no, I do not see anything swap related Jul 26 07:21:25 thanks opi... i forgot that allready. i think its time to email the creator. Jul 26 07:26:32 for those intrested, i posted a thread at the garage project: https://garage.maemo.org/forum/forum.php?thread_id=4283&forum_id=34 Jul 26 08:01:44 thanks again slonopotamus: and opi: , good night Jul 26 08:02:06 see you Jul 26 08:45:05 Jul 26 08:45:16 .

Jul 26 11:10:56 I feel 180 grams is a bit much for a cell phone Jul 26 11:11:17 still no word on builtin or external mike though Jul 26 11:11:53 it looks like a phone, it's got a speaker right where it should be if it were a phone Jul 26 11:12:37 also it looks a bit on the chubby side, about the same thickness as the htc-touch pro Jul 26 11:13:06 nai1sirk: it's really powerful though :P also, there's no pictures out Jul 26 11:13:09 there are no real images of n9x0 right now Jul 26 11:13:33 whatever you are looking at may or may not be real Jul 26 11:14:03 the 180g figure is also dubious Jul 26 11:14:21 oh, I missed N9x0 rumors, can anyone share a link? Jul 26 11:14:34 talk.maemo.org Jul 26 11:14:35 what about this picture here (overlook the negativity in the link, the guy is an ass) http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2009/05/25/nokia-n900-rover-tablet-gets-pictured-specd/ Jul 26 11:14:41 search Jul 26 11:15:13 'gorbatshow' mobira cityman weight 800 grams Jul 26 11:15:25 nai: if we are talking about a lowres image it was taken from a 1-2 year old nokia presentation Jul 26 11:15:36 mer seems slow Jul 26 11:15:44 in a vm Jul 26 11:15:55 then dont us vm Jul 26 11:16:00 I mean a lot slower than a full blown ubuntu vm Jul 26 11:16:14 vms are crap Jul 26 11:16:21 http://www.mobilecrunch.com/2009/05/24/exclusive-everything-there-is-to-know-about-nokias-next-tablet/ this looks like the same device Jul 26 11:16:32 still from an old presentation? Jul 26 11:16:41 I wouldn't mind to replace my N800 Jul 26 11:16:51 also, it looks like an icon from the meamo 5 sdk Jul 26 11:17:01 now you are probably looking at a rendering done in 3d, right? Jul 26 11:17:03 there's nothing on the market that fits my needs like Meamo/Nx Jul 26 11:17:04 I wouldn't have any faith in any of the specifications or proposed pictures of it before it's officially announced Jul 26 11:17:11 nai1sirk: they didnt fix the keyboard even? Jul 26 11:17:24 RST38h: yupp Jul 26 11:17:58 nai: the sources of that one are also dubious, it is not a photo and not an official rendering Jul 26 11:18:07 kkrusty: three rows Jul 26 11:18:26 Myrtti: hey, guys can dream cant they?

I like my devices slim. Jul 26 11:19:55 we can always use a hammer Jul 26 11:20:16 * RST38h will buy 5800 if maemo phone ends up being a flop Jul 26 11:20:26 N97 has too many teething problems so I'll have my N86 Jul 26 11:20:32 probably by the end of the year Jul 26 11:20:40 nai1sirk, if you have been waiting since the n800, maybe you would be interested in the n810 - it is slim AND has a keyboard!

It looks cool Jul 26 11:34:40 thux: gpodder Jul 26 11:34:45 RST38h: well its a script that scans for bluetooth devices and speech synthesizes the names of the devices it found and the time it found them. It logs its results to a sqlite db and if it refinds something it will also tell you when it last found the device Jul 26 11:34:55 thux: fbreader here Jul 26 11:34:56 nai1sirk: not yet.

Jul 26 11:36:20 and? Jul 26 11:36:36 kkrusty: anotheris that quite a few bt names may be unpronouncable Jul 26 11:36:40 Vagalume was a must have app until last.fm started a subscription only service in all smaller countries:-P Now I have left it in the dust Jul 26 11:36:49 RST38h: that too is true. Jul 26 11:36:58 I's really like a spotify app though Jul 26 11:36:59 RST38h: I've had that happen quite a lot of times Jul 26 11:37:00 not everyone calls their device "rover" :) Jul 26 11:37:07 nai1sirk: i pay my 3 eur a month happily. compared to the bw i use at their site, i don't mind. Jul 26 11:37:18 vagalume worksforme Jul 26 11:37:43 RST38h++ but I'm in the UK, where it's still free Jul 26 11:38:11 i have registered my account in the us Jul 26 11:38:11 RST38h: what would you think of a solution that involved gps? Jul 26 11:38:17 it seems to work Jul 26 11:38:40 kkrusty: more battery drain, shitty gps on n810 Jul 26 11:38:49 Last.fm and pandora(earlier) have so many limitations, that it's like radio (you can't decide the exact track) So I prefer spotify Jul 26 11:38:57 kkrusty: here is a better idea Jul 26 11:39:18 nai: yea, i prefer playing local music way better Jul 26 11:39:50 Stskeeps, arent you meant to be debconfing it and not paying attention to irc lol Jul 26 11:39:54 nai: except that lastfm may sometimes hint me on more music to liten to Jul 26 11:40:35 kkrusty: make it scan for bt devices hack into them and ply subliminal messages! :) Jul 26 11:40:48 Did anyone ever try despotify on tablets? It builds using its ao audio backend but my Spotify account is a free one, so I couldn't test it Jul 26 11:40:56 I was thinking of changing the scan frequency and duration depending on whether the user is moving or not. Jul 26 11:41:24 lcuk: hacklab, no interesting talks for 4 hours Jul 26 11:41:29 RST38h: does this project give a sinister vibe? because this is the same thing someone else told me to do :D Jul 26 11:41:32 gps will eat way more power than you can save this way Jul 26 11:41:53 RST38h: accelerometer? Jul 26 11:41:53 kkrusty: the sinisterer the better! Jul 26 11:42:05 no accelerometer on n8x0 Jul 26 11:42:10 cool, Stskeeps what have you seen thats impressed you so far Jul 26 11:42:27 RST38h: well a usb accelerometer I guess Jul 26 11:42:42 more power drain Jul 26 11:42:48 lcuk: i've seen things that didn't impress me.. Jul 26 11:43:12 RST38h: actually if I can try to vary the scan frequencies depending on the scan results I get I guess the battery life can improve a bit. Overall it isnt that much of a battery drain from experience Jul 26 11:43:47 Stskeeps thats not a good impression then, is the beer cold and good? Jul 26 11:43:52 yes, but what would be the goal of collecting this data? Jul 26 11:43:54 RST38h: I think I'll need to properly measure the battery life with and without the script running to get a better idea Jul 26 11:43:55 haven't had a drop of alcohol really :P Jul 26 11:44:15 I mean if not for snding subliminal msgs Jul 26 11:44:54 oo, a bit too hot Jul 26 11:45:49 ohmygod chrisian graffiti Jul 26 11:46:00 RST38h: possibly no useful goals. All it does is give you an estimate of how many people you come across and also tell you if you met the same person during different times Jul 26 11:46:00 bathtubtablet, Myrtti ? :P Jul 26 11:46:12 Stskeeps: ♥ Jul 26 11:46:25 one of the best usecases Jul 26 11:46:41 kkrusty: ah, knowledge building thing! use the camera too :) Jul 26 11:46:42 that, and lootablet Jul 26 11:46:55 lootablet is wrong :| Jul 26 11:47:13 tis not Jul 26 11:47:40 thats like tweeting Jul 26 11:47:46 RST38h: its funny how when Im standing at a bus stop and a guy walks up next to me and it announces: "yes I know I need a shave. First seen now. " Jul 26 11:47:46 how else am i supposed to communicate in a pubs ladiesroom? Jul 26 11:47:49 "im crapping" Jul 26 11:48:01 Myrtti, SHOUT! Jul 26 11:48:18 "please caall me and make up an excuse to get me out of here" Jul 26 11:48:29 why would you want communicate there? Jul 26 11:49:03 kkrusty: and you are calling me sinister... Jul 26 11:49:12 Myrtti, thats a different thing Jul 26 11:49:31 thats a panic button/easter egg on the device itself Jul 26 11:49:39 oh crap Jul 26 11:49:57 my shaver fell in Jul 26 11:50:11 RST38h: well what they name their phones is public knowledge isnt it? or they could just disable device discovery Jul 26 11:50:41 * Myrtti anticipates a painful encounter with Gillette triple blade Jul 26 11:50:48 satan likes stupid people yes Jul 26 11:51:24 (that was to kkrusty =)) Jul 26 11:51:47 Myrtti, does tablet cope underwater? Jul 26 11:52:32 lcuk: haven't tested, will not either Jul 26 11:52:50 there are so many exciting things you can use this for. Like finding out that A B and C have been previously seen during the same scan. Maybe they're a group! Jul 26 11:52:52 good idea lol Jul 26 11:52:56 all right next stop is mine Jul 26 11:53:26 kkrusty, you need to put it all on an aliens style radar pinging thing Jul 26 11:53:40 "omg theyre right on top of us, theyr in the frikkin walls man" Jul 26 11:54:24 is that project a touch too crazy? Jul 26 11:55:09 i dunno, we discussed making one last year Jul 26 11:55:15 bt ping times are a bit excessive tho Jul 26 11:56:03 well... I imagine that future bt ping times will be less Jul 26 11:56:29 retroactive upgrades to existing hardware? Jul 26 11:56:29 lcuk: all in all its a python programming exercise for me Jul 26 11:56:42 thats what riply said Jul 26 11:56:57 lcuk: no. porting this to symbian or newer tablets Jul 26 11:57:04 for instance Jul 26 11:57:57 you want to have it for next devices or not? the sentence doesn't parse too well Jul 26 11:58:46 lcuk: well yeah Jul 26 12:00:33 the bluetooth device is broadcasting from inside the house! Jul 26 12:02:17 so are you guys going to give me 100,000 pounds or what? Seems like I just went to the dragon's den Jul 26 12:03:44 kkrusty, yeah, but before i do i have to ask for a favour Jul 26 12:03:57 can you lend me £120,000, im a bit short today Jul 26 12:03:58 no Jul 26 12:04:08 I had that "no" before your last message Jul 26 12:04:38 heh sounds like you play too many irc quizes :P Jul 26 12:04:46 you were too slow Jul 26 12:05:20 lcuk: I blame a bad keyboard Jul 26 12:05:55 a true gamer would blame their isp, mother, god and their unborn child on lag Jul 26 12:06:28 * lcuk wins another small liqbase battle Jul 26 12:06:45 lcuk: the keyboard argument has context Jul 26 12:06:52 *matches context Jul 26 12:07:06 I've been bitching about the n810 keyboard Jul 26 12:08:59 yeah yeah :P Jul 26 12:09:09 is there a way to find out the number of threads in an app Jul 26 12:09:39 ie, if i am busy loading 100 images can i obtain the thread count and show it somewhere Jul 26 12:10:10 google brings me crap about fabric Jul 26 12:11:16 How many here chatting from a NIT? Jul 26 12:11:32 occasionally Jul 26 12:13:47 I'm still trying to find a good use for my old 770, stskeeps, will there be an updated build of mer for 770, or have you abandoned it entirely? Jul 26 12:14:32 nai1sirk: we are working on it - my 770'ed WSODed so I don't -personally- use time on it anymore. but others do. Jul 26 12:15:50 i just had Mer booting on a 770 yesterday, here at debconf, so Jul 26 13:05:22 johnx, is this you :o http://www.manofest.com/Galleries/Funny/50-Epic-Super-Nerd-Photos/50-Epic-Super-Nerd-Photos_30-5233.html#joomimg Jul 26 13:05:47 for other folks, comparison http://www.flickr.com/photos/28959625@N04/3580915680/ Jul 26 13:06:12 lcuk, http://www.manofest.com/Galleries/Funny/50-Epic-Super-Nerd-Photos/50-Epic-Super-Nerd-Photos_1-5204.html#joomimg Jul 26 13:06:14 is this you ? Jul 26 13:06:24 :O shit how did that get out Jul 26 13:06:30 lol Jul 26 13:06:37 you told me you wouldnt post it on the net :'( Jul 26 13:07:39 what can I say...... I lied Jul 26 13:07:56 its not all bad, at least you put a pic of yourself up too :D Jul 26 13:07:58 http://www.manofest.com/Galleries/Funny/50-Epic-Super-Nerd-Photos/50-Epic-Super-Nerd-Photos_44-5247.html#joomimg Jul 26 13:08:20 lol Jul 26 13:08:40 that has to be me and my twin brother then, judging by his mass Jul 26 13:08:45 holy poo, i didnt actually realise i was on that photo with johnx lol Jul 26 13:08:56 (the flickr one) Jul 26 13:46:11 Look what just went over: http://www.flickr.com/photos/96141280@N00/3758177598/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/96141280@N00/3757379403/ Jul 26 13:47:26 looks like Duxford Jul 26 13:47:33 my house :) Jul 26 13:47:44 hehe Jul 26 13:48:11 looking straight up - it must have been just a couple hundred feet up Jul 26 13:48:28 we had similar but nothing as spectacular in Warboys Jul 26 13:49:05 I love that you can see the gun turret when it banked through the trees - cool (and v. noisy!) Jul 26 13:49:18 The germans must have heard them coming... Jul 26 14:08:48 lbt, in celebration of your flyby, i think you should dress up like biggles and run around local shopping centre with arms outstretched Jul 26 14:09:11 nah, did that last week... Jul 26 14:09:27 heh - that might explain the flyby itself then Jul 26 14:13:19 LOL Jul 26 14:34:41 http://www.made-in-china.com/showroom/oneusb/product-detailvqPxnzJKvIhR/China-32GB-Pny-Mini-Sdhc-Card.html anyone knows anything of this??? 32gb mini sdhc??? Jul 26 14:35:53 the picture shows 1gb Jul 26 14:35:59 lol! Jul 26 14:36:13 too good to be true isnt it. Jul 26 14:36:19 not really Jul 26 14:36:24 it will happen Jul 26 14:36:46 its like how we laugh now about how drive capacity used to be Jul 26 14:36:55 so the gb/tb ranges will be eclipsed Jul 26 14:37:03 yeah Jul 26 14:37:15 i so wish Nokia used two micro instead of one mini Jul 26 14:37:25 now THAT i agree with :) Jul 26 14:38:09 i never had an n800, but know i would prefer 2 removable, at the same time i understand why having a fixed perm drive there matters Jul 26 14:38:43 they could have made one hard to swap and one easy to swap Jul 26 14:38:51 like hide it behind the battery Jul 26 14:38:54 it's as good as fixed Jul 26 14:48:49 what's the displaylink support status? Jul 26 14:49:25 are 16GB microsds < twice the price of 8GB yet? Jul 26 14:51:27 8GB 11, 16GB 32, no, sigh Jul 26 14:55:40 what's that british pounds? Jul 26 14:58:49 yeah Jul 26 15:02:37 * ShadowJK wouldn't get the cheapest anyway Jul 26 15:04:24 All righty, Google Voice + Gizmo seems to be working Jul 26 15:06:28 heh Jul 26 15:06:31 still working on my android stuff Jul 26 15:06:34 wordpress ftw Jul 26 15:06:42 i need to make a better filebrowser type deal Jul 26 15:06:50 but i suppose the stock apache stuff will do for browsing dirs now Jul 26 15:07:08 now that i think about it though Jul 26 15:07:18 there really aren't too many Mer files out there Jul 26 15:09:36 A web based file browser? Jul 26 15:29:58 RST38h: web based web browser :) Jul 26 15:35:02 o_O Jul 26 15:35:18 wazd, does that use advanced web 2.0 technology? Jul 26 15:41:09 does it involve the SHEEP? Jul 26 15:58:18 if i create a symlink from an existing folder which already contains files, are the existing files listed along with "ls" Jul 26 16:00:40 they should be Jul 26 16:08:00 * GeneralAntilles is really tired of Nokia. Jul 26 16:08:16 GA whats wrong now ?? Jul 26 16:08:35 GeneralAntilles: maemo ecosystem is way saner than openmoko one.. Jul 26 16:08:40 I'm just so tired of the endless talk leading absolutely nowhere. Jul 26 16:08:52 Oh, yes, we'll be more open and transparent. Jul 26 16:09:09 Well, that didn't work, so now we'll be more open and transparent for Fremantle. Jul 26 16:09:17 GeneralAntilles, well Intel and Nokia now work together Jul 26 16:09:20 Yeah, that didn't work, either. Jul 26 16:09:28 * Stskeeps is absolutely shellshocked after a session on openmoko Jul 26 16:09:39 so,....keeping intels track record in mind, hopefully it will be more open Jul 26 16:09:41 Promises to provide assistance to Mer which have yet to pan out. Jul 26 16:09:45 Sts: The sky is full of stars? :) Jul 26 16:09:47 i see Jul 26 16:09:54 that is rather disappointing then Jul 26 16:10:12 GeneralAntilles: ah, i would like to say they are providing assistence. Jul 26 16:10:14 We're nearly a year into the "open" Fremantle development and most developers are still hiding in the castle. Jul 26 16:10:32 some of it is our fault for not working out Jul 26 16:10:33 Stskeeps, have the new licenses even been released? Jul 26 16:10:34 General: Do we have a device? Jul 26 16:10:46 GeneralAntilles: hmm? Jul 26 16:11:09 Stskeeps, redistribution licenses for Nokia 1st-party stuff. Jul 26 16:11:14 General: I think you were just having wrong expectations for a large corporate entity Jul 26 16:11:33 In fact, Nokia is said to be one of the most bureaucratic .FI companies Jul 26 16:11:42 Saying, "Yes, you have our permission to violate the current license for the time being" and actually getting the licenses are two different things. Jul 26 16:12:05 RST38h, whether or not that's true, it doesn't make those expectations any less valid or their failure to meet them any less shitty. Jul 26 16:12:18 I'm tired of the BS, I'm tired of the waiting. Jul 26 16:12:21 The failure was completely predictable though Jul 26 16:12:39 OK, but that's hardly helpful. Jul 26 16:12:41 The Fixed-in-Fremantle fiasco was not of course Jul 26 16:13:41 GeneralAntilles: ball is with Mer right now. my fault for not speccing it out yet Jul 26 16:14:12 we're going along with what we agreed at the cph meeting. Jul 26 16:14:19 is there a mer channel too ? Jul 26 16:14:46 nvm Jul 26 16:14:56 less thinking...more action... Jul 26 16:14:57 get things working, and on maemo.org, and then get license specced from nokia Jul 26 16:16:09 it is generally much easier to convince people to open up when you have success stories from previous opening-ups Jul 26 16:16:24 Can somebody fix the #maemork icon? Jul 26 16:16:41 suihkulokki, those we've provided. Jul 26 16:16:41 for example the pet whine here for a long time was the closed wifi driver Jul 26 16:16:55 As well as many trip ups we've had from closed-source stuff. Jul 26 16:17:24 the driver was opened, yet the community hasn't really cared about it Jul 26 16:18:11 Well, the vast majority of people don't have the skills to work with it. Jul 26 16:18:16 and the rest don't benefit from it. Jul 26 16:18:30 Getting the WiFi is only the first step of many to actually upgrade the kernel. Jul 26 16:18:58 * Myrtti is happy to be oblivious of the technicalities apart from the documentation :-P Jul 26 16:19:03 i found out it was possible to forward move umac.ko, in an afternoon. Jul 26 16:19:20 noone in community bothered to check before. Jul 26 16:20:42 we've also had good response to mb4560 Jul 26 16:21:38 initfs quibbles could have been fixed if anyone bothered to check if later uclibc open versions were compatible with initfs uclibc. Jul 26 16:22:20 No, they should have been fixed by Nokia who shouldn't have been sitting on their fucking asses for two years. Jul 26 16:22:25 thus, projects like mer that show what can be done with the already open stuff, are much more useful :) Jul 26 16:23:31 How much easier would Mer be to implement if, for instance, we didn't have to roll our own Control Panel applets. . . . Jul 26 16:23:46 qwerty12, of course, but it's an example that we should look within community first instead of demanding nokia does everything Jul 26 16:24:15 if you want nokia to do everything, where do you need the sources? Jul 26 16:24:31 * GeneralAntilles sighs. Jul 26 16:24:40 I just want to see some goddamn developers out here in the open. Jul 26 16:24:49 StsN810: Irrelevant. Nokia is legally obligated to release those sources either way. End of. Jul 26 16:24:53 I'm tired of shit like what's happened with Hildon. Jul 26 16:25:12 generalantilles, cp's are surprisingly simple, noone up to now stepped up to do it.. re developers, first mer cp was part qwerty and part timeless. Jul 26 16:25:33 qwerty, agreed Jul 26 16:26:22 StsN810, unfortunately we don't have a ton of developers just waiting around to do stuff like that. Jul 26 16:26:51 general; we're working with pymaemo guys too, and people are coming out in the open if there's sane people to talk to and cooperate with. Jul 26 16:27:12 StsN810, we've all been here for nearly 4 years. Jul 26 16:27:25 Yet the makeup of the people out in the open hasn't changed radically in that time. Jul 26 16:27:31 Excepting personnel moves. Jul 26 16:28:07 GeneralAntilles, what would you have developers do? Jul 26 16:28:16 Communicate. Jul 26 16:28:34 Make comments and triage bugs in Bugzilla. Jul 26 16:28:51 (Now they just hide in the internal bug tracker) Jul 26 16:28:57 general; the biggest issue for community is actually they don't seek out people or see if we can handle it ourselves. Jul 26 16:29:00 Discuss things on the lists and forums. Jul 26 16:29:08 but what if the developers arent working on stuff thats in bugzilla yet Jul 26 16:29:10 cos its not out Jul 26 16:29:24 lcuk, that's only a valid argument for a few people. Jul 26 16:29:32 and it then comes to a management issue. Jul 26 16:29:35 Which is another problem. Jul 26 16:29:52 we've been discussing about 3rd party browser things for some months and noone bothered to make an information request? Jul 26 16:30:24 i always thought timeless was chief browser guy around here Jul 26 16:30:46 and hes been in amongst the community doing an amazing job Jul 26 16:30:47 maybe we should make Request for Information bugs, answers which would establish ways for community to do something. Jul 26 16:31:24 sounds reasonable Jul 26 16:31:36 as usual with your ideas Stskeeps :) Jul 26 16:33:19 noone's going to bother with us if we're just whining instead of seperating things to be done into what community could do and what info/help we need from nokia Jul 26 16:33:57 which is much easier for a corporate structure to deal with Jul 26 16:34:03 ohgod Jul 26 16:34:23 My idiot friend decided that it would be a good idea to embed every piece of content imaginable with Flash applets. Jul 26 16:34:37 On the front page there are 6 stories Jul 26 16:34:42 4 of which has Flash applets. Jul 26 16:34:48 Flickr, YouTube, and two PDFs. Jul 26 16:35:29 now he's asking why it's so slow on a tablet? Jul 26 16:35:39 No, he doesn't own one. Jul 26 16:35:47 But I'm going to tell him why it's slow on my 1.6GHz G5. Jul 26 16:35:52 Idiocy. Jul 26 16:37:52 4 applets kill your machine? Jul 26 16:38:04 Flash applets Jul 26 16:38:08 still Jul 26 16:38:08 Flash on OS X is broken Jul 26 16:38:14 Flash on OS X PPC is broken as hell. Jul 26 16:38:27 get a better computer then :) Jul 26 16:38:45 My better computer is waiting on Apple still Jul 26 16:39:01 and anything else requires cash Jul 26 16:39:10 Does that mean you want to give me some, lcuk? Jul 26 16:39:12 :D but moaning at your mates is free Jul 26 16:39:44 i would happily send you some money, but postage would cost more than I have free right now ;) Jul 26 16:40:31 lcuk: psst, sending some to London would be cheaper than sending it to the US ;) Jul 26 16:41:19 cheaper, but still too much Jul 26 16:43:43 hee ... Google developed Latitude for the iPhone. Apple rejected it! Jul 26 16:43:59 http://tech.slashdot.org/story/09/07/26/1519201/Google-Latitude-Arrives-For-the-iPhone-mdash-As-a-Web-App Jul 26 16:44:34 well Jul 26 16:44:51 does the N810 have proper (ie. GPS-integrated) Google Maps support? Jul 26 16:45:02 My Symbian phone has that.. has the N810? Jul 26 16:45:23 it's called Maemo Mapper, I guess. Jul 26 16:45:43 which , if i recall correctly needs maps preloaded? Jul 26 16:45:58 chx, not at all Jul 26 16:46:07 well, I'm using Microsoft maps instead of google's Jul 26 16:46:25 chx, it needs that or a network connection. Jul 26 16:46:37 So, it needs exactly what the thing on your Symbian phone needs. Jul 26 16:46:39 oh? it can work on line? Jul 26 16:47:01 downloading on-the-fly the maps from Google? What has Google to say on this? Jul 26 16:47:20 * GeneralAntilles shrugs. Jul 26 16:47:33 gnuite works at Google anyway. Jul 26 16:47:38 "thank you for using my products"? Jul 26 16:47:40 OSM is also an option. Jul 26 16:47:54 GeneralAntilles: gnuite?? Jul 26 16:48:09 The Maemo Mapper developers Jul 26 16:48:12 s/developers/developer/ Jul 26 16:48:13 GeneralAntilles meant: The Maemo Mapper developer Jul 26 17:29:07 bike ride time Jul 26 18:19:30 is there any way to setup bootmenu without hildon-desktop? :] Jul 26 18:20:10 or maybe somewhere can share initfs and his kernel for me? :] Jul 26 18:24:46 kernel doesn't change Jul 26 18:26:07 flasher-3.0 --flash-only Jul 26 18:53:05 lol, the 3G S crashes all of the time. Jul 26 18:53:22 Also: capacitive touchscreens such for trying to do useful things. Jul 26 18:53:35 anyone here got an htc magic? Jul 26 18:53:42 i quite fancy that for my next actual phone Jul 26 18:53:52 i swear to god id rather remove my arms than use another symbian phone Jul 26 18:54:07 Android sucks Jul 26 18:54:18 i quite liked it when i had a go on the g1 Jul 26 18:54:21 Can you wait until September? Jul 26 18:54:23 i hated the g1 physically tho Jul 26 18:54:26 why, whats in september? Jul 26 18:54:54 Possibly the N900 Jul 26 18:55:04 oh i'm not really that fussed about the n900 Jul 26 18:55:11 if its out when i upgrade ill have a look Jul 26 18:55:46 Maemo's way better than Android. Jul 26 18:55:57 maemo isn't a phone Jul 26 18:56:28 Says who? Jul 26 18:56:35 well my n810 lacks a sim card Jul 26 18:56:42 Many signs seem to be pointing at the N900 being a phone. Jul 26 18:56:48 and i haven't played with an n900, nor has anyone else i imagine Jul 26 18:57:00 eh Jul 26 18:57:01 Plenty of people have Jul 26 18:57:06 Problem is, they're all mostly under NDAs. Jul 26 18:57:16 anybody can share their jffs2 image with bootmenu setuped for n810? Jul 26 18:57:19 so no one of any use then Jul 26 18:57:37 Meh, whatever, my only point was that you may want to consider waiting if you like Maemo. Jul 26 18:57:42 with telnet Jul 26 18:57:43 :) Jul 26 18:57:59 maemo always feels like it lacks polish Jul 26 18:58:02 i'm not complaining Jul 26 18:58:04 i love my tablet Jul 26 18:58:14 and android certainly wasn't without it's (major) faults Jul 26 18:58:20 isn't* Jul 26 18:58:21 Well, the current version is from 2007. Jul 26 19:01:03 GeneralAntilles: so um, pick a control panel Jul 26 19:01:06 i can do another Jul 26 19:01:15 just pick one, i should be able to do one per sprint :) Jul 26 19:02:23 timeless_mbp, talk to Stskeeps. Jul 26 19:04:14 do we have a cp for setting the background image? :) Jul 26 19:04:25 yeah, HD itsel-f Jul 26 19:04:27 -- Jul 26 19:05:16 * timeless_mbp stops w7 and goes off to run 0.15 Jul 26 19:06:44 * javispedro has seen some android code (binder) Jul 26 19:07:00 * javispedro hates when code assumes sizeof(void*)==sizeof(int) Jul 26 19:07:21 specially when you design your whole ipc concept around that assumption Jul 26 19:07:27 heh Jul 26 19:07:37 that works great anywhere near an ms os :) Jul 26 19:07:45 (fail: w16, w64) Jul 26 19:08:55 GeneralAntilles: hrm Jul 26 19:09:04 doesn't Advanced Backlight deal w/ audio settings? Jul 26 19:09:16 Nope Jul 26 19:09:18 javispedro, would those people benefit from intptr_t too? Jul 26 19:09:24 not at all? Jul 26 19:09:51 Tied to the closed source multimediad which uses a gconf key to get/set volume level. Jul 26 19:09:56 Not as far as I know. Jul 26 19:10:10 binder happens to pass 4 byte strings "inline" (instead of using an extra allocation for larger strings) Jul 26 19:10:18 guess the reason for that magic number (4) Jul 26 19:10:23 hint: sizeof(void*) Jul 26 19:10:36 so as a result, compiling on amd64: hilarity ensues Jul 26 19:10:44 * timeless_mbp chuckles Jul 26 19:16:27 OH someone made an adapter to install full size SD cards! Jul 26 19:16:56 yes.. Jul 26 19:17:54 that's SO AWESOME! Jul 26 19:18:46 32GB here we go :) Jul 26 19:22:13 is there a good external battery (ie similar in size) that i could use? Jul 26 19:26:40 can someone countercheck that http://www.bixnet.com/5v7libapa.html this is indeed close to the N810? (My second N810 is still in transit after the first was lost :( ) Jul 26 19:29:35 Did you get a USB to 2mm adaptor? Jul 26 19:30:08 Ah, nevermind Jul 26 19:30:09 aye, they sell a kit, here http://www.bixnet.com/batpm55z4m4.html Jul 26 19:30:22 but what's important is the physical size Jul 26 19:30:31 hrm Jul 26 19:30:37 so that you can just put it under the tablet when it's in the case and charge. Jul 26 19:30:55 I am using a Nintendo DS case Jul 26 19:31:07 i can't seem to find advanced backlight Jul 26 19:31:12 is it not available for fremantle? Jul 26 19:32:24 " the N800/N810 charger puts out 5V at 890 mA" Jul 26 19:32:31 no, it's obsoleted it seems, timeless_mbp Jul 26 19:32:32 so that 5V pack should be fine electrically Jul 26 19:32:38 timeless_mbp, there was no statusbar framework up until the last release. Jul 26 19:32:45 "The new iPhone is doing for tall-screen video what DVDs and HD did for widescreen. Sweet." - Dan Frommer, Editor, Silicon Valley Insider Jul 26 19:32:49 Then Quim essentially told us it was pointless for Fremantle. Jul 26 19:32:59 Er, reverse that Jul 26 19:33:00 i disagree btw :) Jul 26 19:33:13 Quim told us it was useless, and the statusbar framework was only released with the last beta. Jul 26 19:33:23 jeez, where does such a morons live Jul 26 19:33:32 wazd: their moms basement Jul 26 19:35:02 And btw I wonder what DVD did to the widescreen Jul 26 19:35:04 * timeless_mbp ponders Jul 26 19:35:24 rm_you, ping? :P Jul 26 19:36:18 What is the latest information about the N900? Will it have gsm / 3g and when will it be released? Jul 26 19:36:54 rumours has it'll have HSPA indeed Jul 26 19:37:09 speculation says Nokia World. September 3 or so. Jul 26 19:37:16 chx, rumor also has GSM. Jul 26 19:37:18 This question has become probably become the "pickup line" for anyone entering #maemo......... Jul 26 19:37:33 GeneralAntilles: oh rly? Jul 26 19:37:40 GeneralAntilles: and friggen lasers! Jul 26 19:37:41 Stskeeps: does audio work in mer0.15 vmdk? Jul 26 19:37:41 I am not holding my breath, however. Jul 26 19:37:55 and a bbq! Jul 26 19:38:01 timeless_mbp: if kernel picks it up and you turn it up using alsamixer Jul 26 19:38:04 I wand bbq and coffee machine! Jul 26 19:38:12 + unmute Jul 26 19:38:17 the price (because of the GSM parts and the necessary verification process in so many countries and the new-ness of the device) will surely be sky-high Jul 26 19:38:21 Stskeeps: any apps i can use to test it? Jul 26 19:38:24 like, i dunno , 600 eur / 800 usd. Jul 26 19:38:37 ukmp and friends want python-osso which is either unavailable or not a new enough version Jul 26 19:38:52 timeless_mbp: hmm, maemo or non maemo app? i'm not sure pulseaudio is installed Jul 26 19:39:17 pulseaudio is installed Jul 26 19:39:20 chx, lots of little hints in the code. Jul 26 19:39:23 Several leaks. Jul 26 19:39:33 600 euros while N810 is only about 300. I though something like 400 or maximally 500 for N900. Jul 26 19:39:39 wha? Jul 26 19:39:42 Ape: no pricing set.. Jul 26 19:39:44 N810 300EUR? Jul 26 19:39:49 n810 is way lower than 300 euro i think now Jul 26 19:39:49 :P Jul 26 19:39:53 It's like 200-250USD right now. Jul 26 19:39:54 Stskeeps: let's start with a commandline app Jul 26 19:39:59 timeless_mbp: 'aplay' Jul 26 19:40:06 is what i use to test ALSA Jul 26 19:40:13 and dpkg -L liberty-sounds-ui Jul 26 19:40:33 i don't seem to have aplay Jul 26 19:40:36 tell me this, if the N97 is 600EUR why the N900 will be less. Jul 26 19:40:47 chx: sorry, this is #maemo Jul 26 19:40:50 not #nokia Jul 26 19:40:52 nor #n900 Jul 26 19:40:55 sure Jul 26 19:40:56 sorry. Jul 26 19:41:01 hardware pricing should be a taboo Jul 26 19:41:03 Yeah Jul 26 19:41:03 i need to go , anyways :) Jul 26 19:41:42 because we all really use emulators Jul 26 19:42:03 Well then something about Maemo? How hard is it to port applications to maemo? I have made debian packages and know howto compile many things. Jul 26 19:42:18 Ape: that's about it :) Jul 26 19:42:46 If I have a GTK debian application, can I run it on Maemo easily? Jul 26 19:42:48 timeless_mbp, good luck with that. ;) Jul 26 19:42:51 depends on how finger friendly the app started as and how much time you want to spend improving it Jul 26 19:42:59 GeneralAntilles: taboos? Jul 26 19:43:09 Yeah, not much is taboo here. Jul 26 19:43:18 Nokia doesn't really set the topic. :P Jul 26 19:44:04 Ape: experiences range re porting applications Jul 26 19:46:10 Stskeeps: ok, pulseaudio-utils + liberty-sounds-ui Jul 26 19:47:20 Stskeeps: how do i get rid of the OSK again? Jul 26 19:48:20 /usr/bin/paplay /usr/share/sounds/ui-operation_ready.wav Jul 26 19:48:29 Connection failure: Connection refused Jul 26 19:48:46 Stskeeps: What were the locale related issues you had with Mer initially ? I am sure mine spring out of OE issues, but its been a while since I am trying to get rid of it, so maybe its good to know your soln. Jul 26 19:49:23 ouch wrong channel. :-( Jul 26 19:49:43 #maemo is always the wrong channel these days. :( Jul 26 19:50:21 * timeless_mbp blames management Jul 26 19:50:51 chx_afk, regarding battery, mugen power has a double-size battery. the SD adapter supposedly also fits under the new cover that comes with mugen's extended battery Jul 26 19:50:51 * rkirti blames her lack of caffeine for blindly IRC-ing Jul 26 19:51:47 * timeless_mbp ponders rkirti 's nationality Jul 26 19:52:11 timeless_mbp: India. Jul 26 19:52:21 ShadowJK: the mugen makes the device much heavier. having an external battery while it rests in its case (and in my backpack) does not make it heavier. it's a good compromise. Jul 26 19:52:31 chx_afk, also N810 was 400+ euro when new :-) Jul 26 19:52:44 or 400 usd Jul 26 19:52:47 eur=usd Jul 26 19:52:50 always fun Jul 26 19:53:01 but don't think you're getting ripped off Jul 26 19:53:01 heh Jul 26 19:53:07 remember, that nokia buys in EUR Jul 26 19:53:09 $479 USD Jul 26 19:53:15 N800 was $399 USD Jul 26 19:53:18 so it's the one losing on the exchange Jul 26 19:53:21 770 was $379 USD Jul 26 19:53:45 timeless_mbp, I can also imagine that the prices in USD are without taxes and EUR prices includes them ;-) Jul 26 19:53:54 that's true Jul 26 19:54:04 but tax is say 7% Jul 26 19:54:10 the exchange is highe Jul 26 19:54:14 22% Jul 26 19:54:22 us sales tax Jul 26 19:54:25 ah Jul 26 19:54:33 Assuming you buy retail Jul 26 19:54:34 exchange can be something like 25% :) Jul 26 19:54:41 Instead of, say, Newegg or Amazon Jul 26 19:55:08 can't evade them like that here :( Jul 26 19:55:21 Unless you order from China, and it costs less than ~50E Jul 26 19:55:23 Well, when you want socialism you get it. Jul 26 19:55:26 maybe there could be a kit.. Jul 26 19:55:50 including FCC approval? Jul 26 19:55:55 lemme think about that Jul 26 19:56:04 Sales taxes are state taxes here. Jul 26 19:56:33 * RST38h moos Jul 26 19:56:52 Ok, whaddaya wanna know about sales taxes? Jul 26 19:56:53 ~ Jul 26 19:57:14 How to avoid them Jul 26 19:57:20 how do i start pulseaudio/ Jul 26 19:57:25 US: 5-20% sales tax, does not apply to ecommerce as long as your seller has no outlets in your state Jul 26 19:57:52 EU: 15-25% federal value added tax (VAT), collected always Jul 26 19:57:53 alaska seems to have no sales tax :) Jul 26 19:58:18 EU: higher import taxes and dues Jul 26 19:58:22 so, buy in anchorage or fairbanks Jul 26 19:58:35 federal? it goes to the member states Jul 26 19:58:50 Shadow: Oh, I used a US word for it Jul 26 19:59:09 Shadow: Imposed by the respective country government is the right term Jul 26 19:59:46 Hm. I wonder who gets the VAT in the united states of germany... the federal government or the states :) Jul 26 20:00:01 Another reason not to buy in EU: Because the damn euro (and british pound too ) are so high against the dollar, your prices are going to be higher Jul 26 20:00:37 Shadow: Probably the governement although I will not be surprised if the local governments get their share too, on top of that Jul 26 20:01:53 Stskeeps: so... Jul 26 20:02:01 pulse-session gives me errors as user and root Jul 26 20:02:14 pulse-session --system gives me a really amusing error when run as root Jul 26 20:02:18 RST38h, the exchange rate favors buying smartq :-) Jul 26 20:05:15 ShadowJK: SmartQ is good to buy at any exchange rate, as it costs <$200 US =) Jul 26 20:06:06 timeless, yeah, it's a bit of a clusterfuck at times.. Jul 26 20:32:35 Easy to use symbolic calculator that could be easily ported for maemo: http://qalculate.sourceforge.net/ Jul 26 20:34:56 i believe someone has already started that Jul 26 20:35:04 the name looks familiar Jul 26 20:35:31 http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=25520 Jul 26 20:35:40 ahhh yes, lardman was mucking with it :) Jul 26 20:35:57 Cool Jul 26 20:36:22 * Myrtti likes the handwriting calculator ♥ Jul 26 20:38:08 Qalculate is even a very good one for computers. Jul 26 20:41:11 So, who is going to do a pedometer for Fremantle? Jul 26 20:41:16 Jaffa? Jul 26 20:41:30 The eCoach guy? Jul 26 20:42:14 maemo pedo finder? Jul 26 20:42:21 like on the iphone? Jul 26 20:43:32 (i know a pedometer is for measuring steps..) Jul 26 20:43:53 you can use the accelerometer to detect when a leg hits the ground Jul 26 20:44:08 The pedometer program on my 5800 works nicely Jul 26 20:44:09 i have a foot to do that job tyvm Jul 26 20:44:27 * GeneralAntilles determined that he walks about 5-7 miles a day at work. Jul 26 20:44:56 * lcuk rages @ filesystem searches Jul 26 20:45:32 "maemo pedo finder?" - jesus christ, what the fuck is that?! :D Jul 26 20:46:00 wazd, you did not see the iphone sex offender map app?

Jul 26 21:30:13 Same encryption? Jul 26 21:30:24 yes, didn't have to add a second saved connection Jul 26 21:30:38 My N800 roams over 4 Tomato APs without issue. Jul 26 21:30:40 WPA2 Jul 26 21:32:02 * ShadowJK 's n810 "roams" over two different APs with different ssid Jul 26 21:32:14 static ips ftw Jul 26 21:32:55 different essid Jul 26 21:36:51 how does wifi know that 2 aps are for the same network? Jul 26 21:37:46 Same SSID, different channels. Jul 26 21:38:19 and does it show each AP in the list, or just 1? at work I'm pretty sure it's only 1, but there's 2 here Jul 26 21:38:38 It only shows 1. Jul 26 21:40:52 what if you have them on same channel? :) Jul 26 21:45:20 ShadpwJK, never bothered to test. Jul 26 21:45:53 Probaboy nothing exciting, but you'll only be able to use the other when one is completely out of range, I believe.

Sometimes it works, most times not Jul 26 22:24:26 hi VDVsx, was just going to see how the barcode GSoC is coming along? Jul 26 22:24:56 claptonorient: tap in the middle somewhere then drag Jul 26 22:25:16 claptonorient: I find hildon-desktop can get "stuck" sometimes... I just tap the menu icon, close it, and get back to dragging... Jul 26 22:25:26 VDVsx: I've just pulled the repo and am tweaking to get it to run Jul 26 22:25:41 lardman, server side and UI is going well, barcode decoding is in the same status (more or less) Jul 26 22:26:01 ta lardman - i just get a box saying "close" - qwerty... this worked just the once for me. I'll try switching off and on again Jul 26 22:26:08 VDVsx: yeah that's fine, the barcode decoding works, etc Jul 26 22:26:40 lardman, the repo is very incomplete now, and the ui is for fremantle, don't expect it to work on the device :P Jul 26 22:26:53 ok :) Jul 26 22:27:02 any ideas on the deps, same as before? Jul 26 22:28:09 hmm, server, is that an on-device server or more like the Android one which works on a "proper" PC and cuts the traffic down?

Jul 26 22:34:35 We've been having quite the involved discussions about it via e-mail. Jul 26 22:34:50 great, making progress? Jul 26 22:35:22 Well, after some initial issues, it now has about the same accuracy as it did before the integration. Jul 26 22:35:50 And if there's no QR codes, it doesn't seem to slow down the rest of his code at all. Jul 26 22:36:07 ah, that's good news then Jul 26 22:36:24 certainly the fact it can be used in parallel Jul 26 22:40:41 ~lart Firefox for not wanting to start-up now Jul 26 22:40:41 * infobot overclocks Firefox until Firefox burns out for not wanting to start-up now Jul 26 22:42:17 hmm, sounds like a restart is needed, and bed; will hopefully catch you guys tomorrow now I'm not working all hours Jul 26 22:42:19 night all **** ENDING LOGGING AT Mon Jul 27 02:59:57 2009
