**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Apr 05 02:59:56 2010 Apr 05 03:00:15 what if I use a kernel image with smartReflex active by default, overclocked to 900 MHz and with NAT support? What if? Apr 05 03:04:22 you win the fool's batch of the week Apr 05 03:09:18 lol Apr 05 03:11:48 Ok if im compiling a file with GLES/gl.h includes and I need to use the opengl es lib what -l flag do I use Apr 05 03:32:52 Anyone know a maemo-friendly nasa TV feed? Apr 05 04:37:26 hey all, my name is Arjun, and I'm a student at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology. I'm interested in working with Maemo/MeeGo for Google Summer of Code. I'd love to work on any project that the community finds useful (especially as a member of the userbase!), but in particular, I would love to work on the ebook reader. As someone who frequently reads ebooks, having a good app for that would be fantastic, and I feel I can contribute in that way. Also, I know O Apr 05 04:43:35 mandaya: evince is terrific for reading PDFs and FBReader is great for reading the rest. Apr 05 04:46:23 DocScrutinizer: what is happening with apt on the SDK? I can't find mplayer using apt-cache search, it's there on the packages list but even apt-cache policy mplayer doesn't show it. http://pastebin.com/WncVXnvE Apr 05 04:46:50 ptl_demands_PR12: ah, cool, wasn't aware that evince was ported to maemo already. I was just going on the project ideas list for GSoC; the ebook reader was what caught my eye first :) Apr 05 04:48:18 mandaya: evince even has kinetic scrolling... Apr 05 04:49:37 mandaya: if you could however do an app for reading via camera some infrared controls and making a LIRC configuration file for use on IRReco and other programs... Or a good shopping list program... Or a program that can use a custom ringtone for every contact/group... Apr 05 04:49:41 mandaya: that would be terrific! Apr 05 04:52:33 mandaya: these are all areas where the N900 is lacking Apr 05 04:55:31 ptl_demands_PR12: what do you mean by reading infrared controls from a camera? infrared controls for what? Apr 05 04:59:09 he means learning mode for IR remote for appliances. To read in the IR TX patterns for a particular original remote control Apr 05 05:03:15 mandaya: the camera can "see" infrared as a bright light Apr 05 05:03:34 DocScrutinizer: I just tried using mplayer with xwinwrap on the N900 to try and get animated wallpapers. Didn't work :( Apr 05 05:05:23 mandaya: the IR sensor on the N900 is an emitter but not a receiver. So, you cannot use it to read output from an IR Remote Control Apr 05 05:06:33 mandaya: if we can use the camera to read the IR signal, we could have the base frequency and patterns of the IR Remote Control and build a LIRC file for it. Apr 05 05:07:13 if we could Apr 05 05:08:23 ptl_demands_PR12: and you got a new idea how to get the carrier frequency and data pattern from a camera that hardly does more than 60 fps? Apr 05 05:08:25 yes... if it is possible at all, there's been some controversy here Apr 05 05:09:05 ptl_demands_PR12: ah, that does sound interesting, but DocScrutinizer's objections still stand Apr 05 05:09:13 DocScrutinizer: it sweeps the screen dot by dot at every nanosecond or such, so if you get the IR light close enough, you might get the real frequency. Apr 05 05:09:20 5 MP camera, 30 frames per second Apr 05 05:09:49 ptl_demands_PR12: nice you're quoting me, still I asked for *new* ideas :-P Apr 05 05:09:59 if the light dominates the central part of the screen, say, the central 1 MP, you have 30 MHz freqency to sweep Apr 05 05:10:17 ok Apr 05 05:14:17 guys, a bit off topic, but I need some help Apr 05 05:14:25 mandaya: I did a video recording while placing the IR LED directly on the cam lens, so the whole picture/sensor got uniformly exposed to the light. On watching such video you can see some kind of light and dark horizontal bars. Depending on the way the sensors does exposure and is read out, you might possibly find even smaller moiree formed by the carrier freq that's between 30 and 45kHz Apr 05 05:15:19 (normal web page), I have 500 items to display, linearly (meaning that each item follows the previous one, etc), and contextual information that spans multiple items Apr 05 05:15:28 how would you see that being displayed? Apr 05 05:15:43 mandaya: you'd need to do several samples so you can reconstruct the full datastream fro the sniplets contained in each picture of the video, and fill in the time gaps between pictures of one video Apr 05 05:16:00 crashanddie: in a grid/matrix? Apr 05 05:16:10 crashanddie: it depends on the contextual information, I guess Apr 05 05:16:24 I was thinking that in real web 2.0 spirit, I should make it scale, meaning that I should display 500 items on one line, and then allow people to zoom in on the area they're interested in Apr 05 05:16:33 crashanddie: would it make it groupable? Is this information like tags or categories? Apr 05 05:16:48 crashanddie: collapsable list? Apr 05 05:19:08 ptl_demands_PR12: try to imagine that the information is a list of houses on a single street, contextual information is "specific houses can listen to what is happening around them in X range" Apr 05 05:19:54 RST38h: interesting, but I'd rather stay horizontal tbh Apr 05 05:21:08 crashanddie: wow, that will be difficult. And reading that description I understood why the "scale" idea. Indeed, a looking-glass through the items might have lots of sense. But on the other hand, it seems that to find the information the user would have to run through all the 'houses', isn't it? He should be able to do that looking only through a small subset. Apr 05 05:22:04 well, I did this a few years ago Apr 05 05:22:08 If there are categories, best would be to collapse by them Apr 05 05:22:28 well, actually, each "house" contains 15 "flats" Apr 05 05:22:42 so I could expand even further, and there at 10 streets ;) Apr 05 05:22:50 s/at/are/ Apr 05 05:22:51 crashanddie meant: so I could expand even further, and there are 10 streets ;) Apr 05 05:23:32 crashanddie: staying horizontal with 500 items is a bad idea Apr 05 05:23:49 the way we solved this a few years ago, I think, is that we simply had a table showing 50 items, and a coloured stripe above the table that would show if specific house is within the range of another person Apr 05 05:24:05 and then just navigation buttons left and right to go through the full 500 Apr 05 05:25:48 DocScrutinizer: so then I presume the idea is to do a histogram analysis on the image and direct good matches appropriately? Apr 05 05:26:02 or rather, images Apr 05 05:28:27 crashanddie: And how have users liked that? =) Apr 05 05:28:48 RST38h: well, considering the tool was massively helpful, they didn't really complain Apr 05 05:28:56 ahha Apr 05 05:30:32 it's like when you ask people to dig a swimming pool. You give them the choice between a shovel and a caterpillar with an uncomfortable seat. Apr 05 05:31:26 mandaya: well, no histogram. Rather a pattern readout and analysis, based on some investigations done with known input signals and finding how they represent in the pictures Apr 05 05:31:44 morning Apr 05 05:32:58 * ptl_demands_PR12 just donated $20 to skeptoid.com... wonderful service Apr 05 05:37:48 DocScrutinizer: alright, who should I contact for mentorship on such a project? Apr 05 05:38:20 no idea, I'm not a mentor-worthy sw-devel Apr 05 05:41:18 haha, alright, I'll keep idling on here and ask from time to time then Apr 05 05:41:20 mandaya: I just could help a little bit with the basics on how to use the hardware - on a mere hw functions level, no api or somesuch Apr 05 05:44:04 DocScrutinizer: a 'open bme' gsoc project could be interesting Apr 05 05:45:10 ah, VDVsx has been integrated into the mothership it seems like Apr 05 05:45:11 hmm yes. But still, what's my role in GSoC? Apr 05 05:45:43 you could technically sign up as mentor still i think Apr 05 05:45:44 Stskeeps: So, what kind of a knob is he? Apr 05 05:45:59 RST38h: no idea Apr 05 05:48:04 Stskeeps: maybe backup mentor for hw related issues Apr 05 05:48:09 :nod: Apr 05 05:49:20 ptl_demands_PR12: and camera not work like that. It has a virtual shutter that opens for several lines. The whole line is exposed, not one dot. Apr 05 05:50:23 mandaya: anyway, your first task would obviously be to get a 10sec video in raw uncompressed format, and generally gain control over the details of cam module setup and opeartion Apr 05 05:51:36 SpeedEvil: yep, that's what I thought as well Apr 05 05:54:20 btw another theoretical possibility would be to rapidly move the remote or shake the cam while taking a video Apr 05 05:55:17 * SpeedEvil goes back to sleep - 6sm Apr 05 05:55:31 SpeedEvil: I didn't know that, would it still be enough to get the frequency? I've read someone here saying that you don't need to get the base frequency (38 KHz or such), only the blinking frequency in top of the base frequency Apr 05 05:55:31 qm Apr 05 05:55:32 am Apr 05 05:55:35 if you could get a exposure time of e.g 1/1000 then you could read carrier freq directly (in KHz) by counting number of dots Apr 05 06:03:08 has opencv been ported to maemo? they have a really nice hooks into cameras and provide great image processing / recognition libraries Apr 05 06:03:33 if so, that would make obtaining the uncompressed video trivial Apr 05 06:04:39 from there it's a matter of manipulating the raw frames, extracting the IR data from the visual noise, etc. Apr 05 06:05:14 yep, exactly Apr 05 06:11:13 ok, I checked, opencv HAS been ported, so DocScrutinizer, the first step you suggested is trivial Apr 05 06:11:28 which is fantastic Apr 05 06:12:40 :-) Apr 05 06:13:18 Moaning people :) Apr 05 06:13:29 where? Apr 05 06:13:41 before you sign this as a google summer of code project, try to see if it's indeed possible, even with a very raw version. You don't want your project spoiled by being impossible, isn't it? On the other hand, if you are able to do it, it would be an amazing example of software overcoming hardware limitations. Apr 05 06:13:44 Everywhere :) Apr 05 06:14:09 more like moaning people, not moaning people Apr 05 06:14:14 agh Apr 05 06:14:17 more like whining people, not moaning people Apr 05 06:14:28 * ptl_demands_PR12 whines about PR1.2 once more Apr 05 06:14:40 good moaning to you too! Apr 05 06:14:54 Ptl_demands_PR12: at least you have something to install it on :) Apr 05 06:15:14 * wazd_e63 joins whining party Apr 05 06:15:56 ~homework Apr 05 06:15:58 * infobot cries. Apr 05 06:16:08 But that russian ipad guy absolutely made my day :D Apr 05 06:20:03 ipad guy? Apr 05 06:20:26 night Apr 05 06:22:07 Stskeeps: have you seen that epic BBC fail? :D Apr 05 06:22:25 Stskeeps: live from apple store Apr 05 06:23:37 nop Apr 05 06:23:54 Stskeeps: oooh Apr 05 06:24:27 m.youtube.com/watch?v=yhblfJxNrp0&hl=ru&gl=RU&client=mv-google Apr 05 06:25:23 Stskeeps: russian guy screaming "that ipad is a piece of shit! Fuck it!" right at the opening :D Apr 05 06:29:26 wazd_e63: excellnt Apr 05 06:30:10 Stskeeps: he spent 500 bucks to perform this prank :D Apr 05 06:31:19 Stskeeps: I love how apple is using same details for different products though Apr 05 06:31:44 Stskeeps: ipad's using same battery clocks as macbook I guess Apr 05 06:32:15 Blocks* Apr 05 06:38:32 But again, if I'd design an iPad, I'd screw that pathetic "thickness" games and fill whole area with batteries to allow user to use it for 24 hours :) Apr 05 06:55:46 re Apr 05 07:08:39 Right, fixed MWKN released for today. Apr 05 07:08:44 Only an hour late(ish).

I swear I have looked in a lot of threads in talk.maemo.org, but has ANYONE figured out if it is possible to override the default ringing behaviour and somehow use a custom ringtone per contact? Apr 05 08:31:03 I just want to know if it is possible. Apr 05 08:31:15 If there is some dbus trigger or API for that... Apr 05 08:31:44 I couldn't find this answer at all. Apr 05 08:32:10 ptl_demands_PR12: there was discussion on -dev ml recently - the answer is probably "not yet" Apr 05 08:32:19 phellarv: are you using the overclocked kernel?

I figured it should be due to the first revision indeed Apr 05 08:50:06 ptl_demands_PR12: I really like the N97, I've used it quite a bit, and just looking at the video you can tell the guy is doing specific things on purpose Apr 05 08:50:42 ptl_demands_PR12: first of all, he's holding the phone at an angle when doing the rotation -- yes, the portrait/landscape switching is a bit dodgy, but shaking it around doesn't help Apr 05 08:51:08 and the browser, he's nearly not touching the screen, nor is he patient enough... Anyone knows that bashing on a computer, regardless of the type, while it's busy isn't helping things. Apr 05 08:52:03 I figured that, I laughed when the guy started to shake the phone Apr 05 08:53:41 /op/ Apr 05 08:54:01 anyway... the N900 is quite smooth on its transitions Apr 05 08:54:32 I think it was rmrfchik, not rmrfchick Apr 05 08:54:45 meh Apr 05 08:54:52 it would be helpful for mobiles if the irc server bundled packets and only sent 0.5-1/second Apr 05 08:55:05 thanks ptl_demands_PR12 Apr 05 08:55:16 !ptl_demands_PR12++ Apr 05 08:55:20 I fail today Apr 05 08:55:24 ~ptl_demands_PR12++ Apr 05 08:56:10 ?

Apr 05 09:01:15 yeah, I still need to disable auto update Apr 05 09:01:19 s/quote/quota/ Apr 05 09:01:19 ptl_demands_PR12 meant: my quota is 200 MiB. Apr 05 09:01:21 naaaa, i think they will just start throtteling Apr 05 09:02:02 they don't throttle, over 50mb eats away at my monthly money quota Apr 05 09:02:21 wohoooooooo 3 people for tomorrows n900 meetup! Apr 05 09:02:33 well, me and 2 women.... lol :P Apr 05 09:02:53 how come you use so much? which app? Apr 05 09:03:16 how's that even possible, my gf only likes the n900 because of the tvout Apr 05 09:03:24 ptl_demands_PR12, using joiku to get my laptop online, and my mates, and a few other peoples :P - and they where watching BBC Iplayer last night on it ;) Apr 05 09:03:35 TomaszD: introduce her to blubbels as well Apr 05 09:03:48 noobmonk3y: oh, that explains it. Apr 05 09:03:50 blubbels? wth is that Apr 05 09:03:58 moobox does it for my missus, she loves it Apr 05 09:04:10 TomaszD, a game Apr 05 09:04:18 TomaszD: my girlfriends also make good use of the tvout, I just watched two movies yesterday with one of them Apr 05 09:04:26 the other one didn't show up for tonight, tho Apr 05 09:04:28 * noobmonk3y lost my tv out cable :( Apr 05 09:04:37 iv been using my tv out loads Apr 05 09:04:42 cos my stupid archos is broke :( Apr 05 09:04:51 you guys have no idea how wrong this conversation sounds Apr 05 09:05:03 "< nidO> iv been using my tv out loads" TOO MUCH INFORMATION Apr 05 09:05:13 crashanddie, you are in an odddddddd mood today! Apr 05 09:05:28 ptl_demands_PR12, exactly, this the best thing, I come around with a load of movies and we can play them back on the big screen, winner feature Apr 05 09:05:46 noobmonk3y: maybe I have a tumour in my humour? Apr 05 09:06:04 quite possibly...... Apr 05 09:08:51 btw, can I just say: Community is one of the best shows in recent times Apr 05 09:09:26 ? Apr 05 09:10:31 ¿ Apr 05 09:10:51 http://www.surfthechannel.com/show/78220.html Apr 05 09:11:31 haven't seen community, but if you're looking for the best show in television history, then look no further than The Wire Apr 05 09:11:44 oh, no Apr 05 09:11:47 and I don't say things like these lightly Apr 05 09:11:54 sorry, no other show for getting me hooked Apr 05 09:12:11 can't waste MORE time on shows!!! Apr 05 09:12:19 My SeriesFinale list is growing :P Apr 05 09:12:27 it'll pass, the show will end Apr 05 09:12:34 then check out The Wire Apr 05 09:12:45 TomaszD: I've heard that The Wire is the best show ever Apr 05 09:12:52 it is. Apr 05 09:12:56 TomaszD: that's why I don't want to check it ut. Apr 05 09:13:03 s/ ut./ out./ Apr 05 09:13:04 ptl_demands_PR12 meant: TomaszD: that's why I don't want to check it out. Apr 05 09:13:44 Is it one of those fears that if you start watching it and it'll inevitably finish? Apr 05 09:14:16 Yes. I am obsessive. I can't control myself. Apr 05 09:14:27 also, it spoils watching anything else... Apr 05 09:14:39 it's like nothing can compare Apr 05 09:15:56 I'll probably check it out some day, maybe get the entire boxed set or something Apr 05 09:16:13 I was one click away from getting it Apr 05 09:16:28 barely stopped myself, just too expensive Apr 05 09:17:02 I'm getting the o2 joggler instead Apr 05 09:17:03 :) Apr 05 09:23:46 anybody uses opensync for syncing N900 Apr 05 09:28:40 lbt: just got some more concrete response about that ringtone stuff Apr 05 09:30:05 on ml ? Apr 05 09:33:17 lbt: yep Apr 05 09:33:45 well, at least it seems, I am still decided to only go further about PR1.2. :) Apr 05 09:33:52 s/ about / after / Apr 05 09:33:53 ptl_demands_PR12 meant: well, at least it seems, I am still decided to only go further after PR1.2. :) Apr 05 09:33:59 ah, I was watching meego-dev :) Apr 05 09:34:39 maemo-developers, Kate responded Apr 05 09:35:13 ptl_demands_PR12: lets hope Robot101 catches this thread Apr 05 09:36:07 Is he also looking for this info? Apr 05 10:03:40 Hi, all I have an idea about GSOC application and I would like to discuss it here with you. Apr 05 10:04:14 The idea is developing an application that enables the user to search for anything by just pronouncing words, the application shall do speech recognition and then show the results to the him/her. If you have any suggestions or feedback, I would be pleased to hear it from you. Apr 05 10:04:43 on Maemo talk somone suggested integrating social network abilities and sms and calling functions to it also Apr 05 10:06:23 s60 has similar functionality for making calls Apr 05 10:06:43 perhaps some code could be re-used Apr 05 10:07:48 feature is called: sind Apr 05 10:08:19 thanks, naxu I will look for it Apr 05 10:09:50 it is not easy to do speech recognition with limited cpu and in time that user wants to wait for results Apr 05 10:10:50 but with limited amount of terms it seems to work ok Apr 05 10:20:36 It's not a GSOC Apr 05 10:20:40 type thing Apr 05 10:21:07 It's a combined effort of a lot of people over years type of thing Apr 05 10:21:20 * javispedro wonders what will happen to the overclockers thread when they finally realize they can actually change the max freq without reflashing the kernel... Apr 05 10:21:34 javispedro: How? Apr 05 10:21:40 kernel cmdline Apr 05 10:21:42 (though I'm more interested in the low end) Apr 05 10:21:45 well, actually, that requires flashing Apr 05 10:22:08 can kexec be built as a module? Apr 05 10:22:34 I don't think so; does that finally work btw? Apr 05 10:23:17 Don't ask me. Apr 05 10:23:59 I know a bunch of work was required to make it work for the n8x0 Apr 05 10:25:29 I wish qemu was fast. Apr 05 10:25:39 qemu + dragon dictate = win Apr 05 10:25:44 :) Apr 05 10:26:35 i know that this channel is only from maemo, but i want to know if notes in symbian can be sync? Apr 05 10:26:53 joker_89: nope Apr 05 10:27:29 are you sure? because i can get sync only to server Apr 05 10:27:39 but no server-> client Apr 05 10:30:40 phellarv Apr 05 10:31:40 Is there anywhere offering bounties for apps? Apr 05 10:32:16 I'd like to contribute small amounts towards certain apps being developed, without a project going atm. Apr 05 10:33:21 For example, speech recognition, ... Apr 05 10:35:32 God, tmo. They read what they like and ignore what they dislike. Apr 05 10:35:37 * javispedro rediscovers humanity Apr 05 10:35:58 now curiously enough "optification" has become associated with a certain level of ascension applications have. Apr 05 10:36:37 "non-optified" applications burn battery cycles, make your system slow, crash your phone, and corrupt your files Apr 05 10:37:01 "optified" applications do none of these. Apr 05 10:37:29 the irony here is the original definition of optification... Apr 05 10:37:35 :) Apr 05 10:38:04 they read a bug report and grab the first set of shell commands they can run into terminal. Apr 05 10:38:19 even if the _next_ post tells "that's wrong, use XXX instead" Apr 05 10:38:52 hi all.. Apr 05 10:39:02 HI Apr 05 10:39:02 * javispedro stops ranting and goes try "help" someone. Apr 05 10:39:20 * SpeedEvil passes javispedro the flamethrower filled with bile. Apr 05 10:39:20 I'm trying to connect my notebook to the n900 via bluetooth to share it's internet connection Apr 05 10:39:43 I thought to use pan but am not sure about the necessary steps Apr 05 10:40:15 I'm using debian testing/unstable on my notebook Apr 05 10:40:32 and would like to have a commandline based connection Apr 05 10:40:34 i think DUN is easier Apr 05 10:41:11 (in contrast to using PC Connectivity) Apr 05 10:41:48 I don't really care about dun or pan. I couldn't get dun working though Apr 05 10:42:00 I installed the package Apr 05 10:42:02 there's an app in extras for DUN. I never tried it though. Apr 05 10:42:03 ah. Apr 05 10:43:03 do you have another bt phone? to test if n900 or desktop is wrong? Apr 05 10:43:54 I got my notebook to send a file via obex - so basically bluetooth connection works Apr 05 10:44:12 nobody syncs their contacts with PC here? Apr 05 10:44:22 I think n900-wise it's all set Apr 05 10:44:30 ofcourse we are talking about linux not windows! Apr 05 10:44:46 I wonder what I have to do on my notebook though to make it use the n900 as it's gateway Apr 05 10:45:14 it is strange on why the syncml implementation on N900 is different to N95 Apr 05 10:45:20 for me it worked automatically with ubuntu and network manager Apr 05 10:45:47 syncml works with notes? Apr 05 10:46:13 I don't use network manager Apr 05 10:46:28 but actually I don't even know the theoretical steps to take Apr 05 10:46:34 yeah i understand :J Apr 05 10:46:44 like if I have to setup an interface, a gateway or whatever Apr 05 10:47:27 joker_89: on N95 it didnt. only the contacts and calender worked Apr 05 10:47:38 joker_89: are you isng opensync? Apr 05 10:47:48 there's howtos on tethering but afaiu I don't want to tether as I establish the internet connection on the n900 manually Apr 05 10:48:06 no why? Apr 05 10:48:16 i try to sync notes and work :S Apr 05 10:48:25 joker_89: with what software? Apr 05 10:48:28 but only mobile-> server Apr 05 10:48:32 with native syncml Apr 05 10:48:36 in n85 Apr 05 10:48:53 what I want is to have a networking connection from my notebook to the n900 via bluetooth which uses the n900 as it's gateway. probably have to configure nat on the n900 to make that work Apr 05 10:48:54 but seems that notes database have only read only Apr 05 10:49:03 because server-> client dont work Apr 05 10:49:04 joker_89: i tried to use opensync but wasnt successfull. Apr 05 10:49:16 joker_89: what server do you use? Apr 05 10:49:18 i read that native and funambol works Apr 05 10:49:33 i try it with mooha its a syncml server usning php and msyql Apr 05 10:49:42 i install it on my pc and do it with my nokia emulator Apr 05 10:49:57 but seems that only works in one side Apr 05 10:50:14 joker_89: not very good then Apr 05 10:50:37 i am saying this because i am programming a new notes for symbian that can sync Apr 05 10:50:42 joker_89: i want to sync against kde addressbook which is a plain vcf file Apr 05 10:51:54 joker_89: you mean notes only work once side, but contacts work bot sides? Apr 05 10:53:01 hi the zoutube application doesn't play videos can this be fixed? Apr 05 10:53:33 joker_89: does mooha sync all the fields in contacts. my worry is that the server might skip some fields in the addressbook Apr 05 10:54:55 mmm Apr 05 10:55:12 i try mooha because i am doing a syncml server like mooha Apr 05 10:55:26 but its not a good server for calendar and contacts Apr 05 10:57:35 hi Apr 05 10:57:42 is there any gsoc mentor? Apr 05 10:57:53 any idea what is the best server to sync addressbook which can retain all the custom fields. Apr 05 10:58:14 Maemo is in gsoc? Apr 05 10:58:20 Good to know.. Apr 05 10:58:39 trumee in maemo or symbian? Apr 05 10:58:48 i sync with gmail now Apr 05 10:58:50 joker_89: maemo Apr 05 10:58:54 reggna: yep Apr 05 11:00:01 but maemo cant sync notes? Apr 05 11:01:12 joker_89: i dont really care about notes. Apr 05 11:03:09 joker_89: only interested in contacts. Apr 05 11:03:28 i have to sync with nuevosync (sp) Apr 05 11:03:41 which in turn chucks it out to gmail Apr 05 11:04:36 works for me but i cant seem to get evolution to get those contacts... Apr 05 11:05:28 nuevosync? Apr 05 11:06:39 www.nuevasync.com Apr 05 11:13:59 * SpeedEvil writes v0.1 of an app to test power use of apps. Apr 05 11:14:10 nice Apr 05 11:14:13 winmo has one of those Apr 05 11:14:17 using bq27xxx ? Apr 05 11:14:21 yes Apr 05 11:14:30 running and killing app 10 times Apr 05 11:14:38 afk - doing stuff in garden Apr 05 11:14:52 afaik on winmo they just use timer stats , seems we might have something more precise :) Apr 05 11:20:29 is there a way with the maemo browser to go to the previus visited page without selecting it from the history list Apr 05 11:20:39 backspace on the keyboard Apr 05 11:20:50 as of 1.2, the back button in the browser screen will also do it Apr 05 11:21:20 thanks with the keyboard works Apr 05 11:21:52 but with the back.button I always get the history list Apr 05 11:22:10 re-read what I said :) Apr 05 11:22:19 I have the latest update installed Apr 05 11:22:25 which is 1.1.1 Apr 05 11:22:56 * Noobmonk3y moos Apr 05 11:22:56 when will be 1.2 out? Apr 05 11:23:18 user`, in the year 2020 Apr 05 11:23:32 ? Apr 05 11:23:44 ie nokia do not give dates Apr 05 11:23:55 any guess is as good as the next Apr 05 11:23:58 I see Apr 05 11:24:05 soon hopefully Apr 05 11:24:54 ~ping Apr 05 11:24:55 ~pong Apr 05 11:26:01 Nice. Apr 05 11:26:11 I've now been called both Nokia-hater and Nokia-side conspirator Apr 05 11:27:24 javispedro: and which is true?! Apr 05 11:28:02 tbh I don't know :) Apr 05 11:28:17 Both! Apr 05 11:36:15 Does someone continue with a .deb based maemo dist? Apr 05 11:36:30 * VDVsx conspires about javispedro :D Apr 05 11:36:51 zash, maemo6 is still debian based afaik Apr 05 11:37:14 there's some efforts for meego as well Apr 05 11:37:42 zash, http://wiki.meego.com/Proposal_for_a_Debian_Packaging_working_group Apr 05 11:38:18 VDVsx: hehe. another interesting thing is that the only thing that happened between me getting called a "hater" and me being called "conspirator" is the announcement of the new council :) Apr 05 11:38:37 I _knew_ I should not have edited my tmo signature ;) Apr 05 11:38:43 lol Apr 05 11:40:33 javispedro, being in the council is fun, people think that the council has a lot of inside info, that the council members are conspirators, and some times that the council members are Nokians :D Apr 05 11:40:37 you'll see ;) Apr 05 11:44:17 yes, I see :) Apr 05 11:46:18 is it possible to use tethering to re-use an existing connection? Apr 05 11:47:09 all the tutorials I find for setting up tethering with pppd assume that I want to connect to a provider instead of using an already established connection Apr 05 11:48:13 * VDVsx notices that he still has the council IRC cloak :D Apr 05 11:48:35 yeah, seems that GAN didn't exert enough pressure to freenode guys! ;) Apr 05 11:49:48 javispedro, I think only X-Fade can change that Apr 05 11:49:53 ~poke X-Fade Apr 05 11:49:54 * infobot cuts down a small tree, sneaks up behind X-Fade, pokes X-Fade repeatedly, hilarity ensues. Apr 05 11:49:57 :D Apr 05 11:49:58 how are the contacts stored internally in N900. is it possible to retrieve that file? Apr 05 11:50:19 contacts are stored into a sq-lite database, but idon't remember the path from the top of my head Apr 05 11:50:29 <_berto_> .osso-abook or something Apr 05 11:51:35 Hi, I have an idea for GSOC and I want to discuss it here. Apr 05 11:53:11 I am thinking of developing an application that enables the user to search for anything by just pronouncing words, the application shall do speech recognition and then show the results to the him/her ... Someone in the Maemo Talk suggested adding social network abilities and sms and calling functions. Apr 05 11:54:50 Raafat___, humm, see "Pocket Jeeves" in our ideas list Apr 05 11:55:04 javispedro _berto_, /home/user/.osso-abook, thanks Apr 05 11:55:08 that really doesnt sound like the sort of think youll be able to knock up for gsoc, unless you're just porting something that already exists Apr 05 11:55:26 true, that's a lot of work Apr 05 11:56:08 however Pocket Sphinx can help a lot Apr 05 11:59:26 VDVsx , nid0 ... I am searching for an open source library for speech recognition ... I hope this will reduce the amount of work and make it more suitable to be a GSOC project Apr 05 12:00:13 * Stskeeps is really fond of talk.maemo.org after having to deal with 13 year old forum admins Apr 05 12:02:08 VDVsx , I am checking out Pocket Jeeves ... it looks very intersiting Apr 05 12:04:03 Stskeeps, ahah, they kick you out ? :D Apr 05 12:05:00 VDVsx: first forum ban in 10 years Apr 05 12:05:21 OMG, lol Apr 05 12:06:28 Stskeeps, we could get VDVsx to ban you from here too if you like ;) Apr 05 12:07:18 one time I got a notice because I post a brand name in a tech forum, didn't know that was against the rules 0.o Apr 05 12:07:46 * VDVsx still wonders how to talk about tech without brand names :D Apr 05 12:09:33 well, its easy to discuss whether you prefer xxx graphics over xxxxxx or xxxxx cpu's rather than xxx! Apr 05 12:09:58 VDVsx: That probably was an abusive moderator Apr 05 12:09:58 :D Apr 05 12:10:21 VDVsx: otoh, it was probably not a good idea to call them idiots afterwards Apr 05 12:10:32 * Stskeeps got a little pissy Apr 05 12:10:33 :P Apr 05 12:11:23 lol, see tmo is a paradise :D Apr 05 12:12:00 all things considered, that place breeds innovation Apr 05 12:13:33 new languages the mod doesnt know to try and get your message out? Apr 05 12:14:59 I have taken image thru N900 camera with geotags enabled & directly uploaded to ovi page , after uploading to ovi , map location is not visible . is there a problem with my account? Apr 05 12:15:37 namus, did you have a gps lock at the time of taking the image Apr 05 12:15:51 did you select to geotag your photos? Apr 05 12:16:37 ya , gps info is available with my image .. if i open the image with phots application ->menu-> details -> show on map Apr 05 12:16:54 the map location is clarly visble thru nokia maps Apr 05 12:17:05 *clearly visble thru Apr 05 12:17:52 i dunno then if the tags are on the photos and you are uploading those photos, go and have a look around your ovi settings? is it the first time you have tried or does it normally show location Apr 05 12:19:00 VDVsx, I check out Pocket Jeeves, I love it, I would like to participate Apr 05 12:19:51 Raafat___, then submit a proposal and good luck :) Apr 05 12:20:19 if only geotags are present & not gps-info , then probable map-location is visible Apr 05 12:22:01 how would i set proper ovi settings >? Apr 05 12:25:09 Oops. Sorry for earlier spam join/part, forgot.

You were even covering your trackes on Wikipedia! Apr 05 13:30:14 ?!?! now that was a geek-ful?! Apr 05 13:30:23 s/both/bot Apr 05 13:30:39 noobmonk3y_: I usually intentionally skip the last / since I think the bot introduces too much noise Apr 05 13:31:00 noobmonk3y_: with the .. uh, "big" number of typos per second I make that's quite a lot of noise ;) Apr 05 13:32:12 RST38h: I am SO evil. You cannot even imagine when I tried to correct wikipedia about the partition layout! Apr 05 13:34:16 * Arkenoi found several "magic" spots in St Petersburg Megafon 3G networks where active data connection consumes more power than charger may provide Apr 05 13:34:57 javispedro: the longer you stay on tmo, the eviller you get Apr 05 13:35:13 javispedro: Ask GeneralAntilles: he know ALL about it Apr 05 13:35:33 but the General appears evil even to me! ;) Apr 05 13:36:10 btw you're evil too RST38h, you're not working on VGBA hard enough! evil!

Apr 05 13:38:33 * javispedro notes that someone now stated as fact that cpufreq is disabled when connected to charger Apr 05 13:38:54 will see how long does that stand until it gets magically converted in "the truth" Apr 05 13:38:59 Yea, the pokemon thing sounds kinda silly Apr 05 13:39:13 why not play it on a real GBA? Apr 05 13:39:41 You Got Ten Evil Points. Apr 05 13:43:19 RST38h: "because OMG, carrying two items? Who the hell do you think I am? I'm way to cool to carry two items. I mean, like two different items could ever have been designed for different purposes is just ridiculous, I will not accept that anything I posess cannot be used for the same uses" Apr 05 13:43:46 * SpeedEvil ponders adding Maehammer to extras. Apr 05 13:44:02 crashanddie: Do you think using a canned reply "Stuff it." will be considered rude by the tmo moderators? Apr 05 13:44:20 Let's resolve this using the scientific method. Apr 05 13:44:21 depends on how many reports there will be Apr 05 13:44:49 RST38h: 1-2 reports, no, 3-5 reports, yes Apr 05 13:44:57 On the other hand, the lemmings have mostly moved on to PSX emulators... Apr 05 13:45:16 TMO moderators have ill-defined boundaries, resulting in variable judgement calls Apr 05 13:46:27 * toggles_w reads engadget overclocking info and does the keanu WHOA! Apr 05 13:46:40 who's running at 1GHz? Apr 05 13:46:57 * javispedro is reminded of the engadget overclocking info, which causes his nose to bleed Apr 05 13:48:44 RST38h: yes, makes me feel bad about poor smoku Apr 05 14:05:26 RST38h, "I want PSX running full speed for all games!!!" :D Apr 05 14:06:02 and a pinky pony :D Apr 05 14:20:30 In 1958 a B-47 accidentally jettisoned an unarmed nuclear weapon which fell and detonated on a garden owned by the Gregg family in Mars Bluff, South Carolina. The high explosive detonation created a crater 50-70 feet wide and 25-30 feet deep. Apr 05 14:21:10 reading slashdot, eh? Apr 05 14:31:57 Yesterday I visited here Apr 05 14:32:24 About flashing Apr 05 14:32:54 やはり 失敗しました Apr 05 14:32:59 Also failed Apr 05 14:38:45 tmdy: are you using an IME on the N900 for the japanese text? Apr 05 14:46:52 eh? Apr 05 14:47:11 how do you "accidentally jettison" a nuclear weapon? Apr 05 14:47:34 oh, they did "accidentally drop" one around here too. Apr 05 14:48:16 there's some pictures around about some national figure "taking a bath" in the beach where they drop the bomb, just to reassure the masses. Apr 05 14:50:31 national figure == bobby kennedy? Apr 05 14:50:59 crashanddie: in spain Apr 05 14:51:05 yep Apr 05 14:51:10 (in spain) Apr 05 14:52:01 Sofia? Apr 05 14:52:22 Felipe?

Apr 05 15:00:55 hey, that happened to me. Apr 05 15:00:56 could it be a software problem Apr 05 15:00:57 :o Apr 05 15:00:59 trumee^^ Apr 05 15:01:11 That is something I couldn't have been able to understand from your first statement Apr 05 15:01:18 trumee: at the end I found out it was hw problem, had to send in for repair. Apr 05 15:01:20 javispedro: is this a hardware issue? Apr 05 15:01:30 is it common? Apr 05 15:01:30 "One speaker seems to have died. Sound is only coming from one speaker" <-- you don't say? Apr 05 15:02:03 trumee: I don't think it's common, so far I only remember it happening to me :( Apr 05 15:02:44 javispedro: hopefully i will get a replacement. i am still under 14 day warranty Apr 05 15:02:52 trumee: you might want to play a bit with the headphones plug (plug something then unplug) before sending it back Apr 05 15:03:07 (note that my problem wasn't related to the headphones plug though) Apr 05 15:03:10 javispedro: is it worth reflashing? Apr 05 15:03:27 trumee: yes, also ensures you don't leave personal data before sending it back. Apr 05 15:03:36 trumee: but it didn't help me. Apr 05 15:03:46 exactly, i dont want to send my personal stuff. Apr 05 15:04:06 i guess i can use pc suite to download my contacts? and then reflash it? Apr 05 15:04:28 or use builtin backup application Apr 05 15:04:45 javispedro: oh! did not know about built in backup. how does it work? Apr 05 15:04:47 It works best, other than paper and pencil. Apr 05 15:04:59 trumee: you launch it, hit backup :) Apr 05 15:05:05 javispedro: ok :) Apr 05 15:05:31 trumee: either back to an sd card, or move the resulting file to your computer Apr 05 15:06:15 backing it up now Apr 05 15:06:39 how do i factory reset it afterwords? Apr 05 15:06:47 ~flashing Apr 05 15:06:48 from memory, flashing is http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_tablet_firmware Apr 05 15:07:30 javispedro: will it format the inbuilt user partition as well? Apr 05 15:07:48 if you flash both the "normal" firmware (the rootfs) and the emmc, then yes. Apr 05 15:08:19 javispedro: yes, that is what i want. Apr 05 15:11:02 * noobmonk3y waves Apr 05 15:11:29 hi noobmonk3y Apr 05 15:11:33 :) Apr 05 15:11:38 hey frosty` :D Apr 05 15:18:49 javispedro: the backup tool restores the settings as well? Apr 05 15:19:01 trumee: should Apr 05 15:19:11 specially for core/builtin apps Apr 05 15:21:34 hmm it seems that the keyboard works in qt menus but not qt text fields Apr 05 15:28:36 does someone use skype ? do you get spams ? Apr 05 15:28:46 how to avoid skype spams? Apr 05 15:29:09 Chiku: you can change a setting to get messages from only your contacts Apr 05 15:29:13 Chiku, don't use skype :) Apr 05 15:29:15 j/k Apr 05 15:29:34 oh, hi jcrawford :P Apr 05 15:29:36 morning frosty` Apr 05 15:29:46 morning :) Apr 05 15:30:18 frosty`, it is already only from my contacts Apr 05 15:30:33 Chiku, then remove that contact :) Apr 05 15:30:49 why are they a contact if they are just spamming you :) remove them and they wont be able to message you Apr 05 15:30:50 SpeedEvil, so i see about 20 mA current xchat/wifi, 50-70mA with GPS on.. Apr 05 15:30:54 I don't have these contacts who send spams Apr 05 15:31:13 so who has overclocked to 900mhz-1ghz? Apr 05 15:31:17 but I checked "only from my contacts" on my pc client Apr 05 15:31:32 oh i thought you meant the guy spamming you was on your contacts haha Apr 05 15:31:39 does it depends client settings? or it's serveur settings? Apr 05 15:31:46 ShadowJK: I got +30mA - based on joining 10 channels for 2 minutes - then killing xhcat for 2 mins - repeating for 10 * Apr 05 15:31:46 sorry long weekend, lots of alcohol and not so much sleep :)- Apr 05 15:32:32 ShadowJK: the phone also discharged all the way with vdq=1 - sw reset due to low bat I assume - and diddn't log new cap. Apr 05 15:32:38 Well mostly my lower numbers for GPS that I wanted to point out Apr 05 15:32:55 ShadowJK: I'll check it outdoors in a bit Apr 05 15:34:25 frosty`, ok it's client setting Apr 05 15:34:53 Chiku: ah, okay Apr 05 15:36:14 by default pc client "only from my contacts" Apr 05 15:36:36 but by default on n900, it's "all people" Apr 05 15:47:16 does skype video work? Apr 05 15:47:41 I tried with gmail video it works but what about skype? Apr 05 15:47:49 no Apr 05 15:48:42 ShadowJK, did you try video with gmail? Apr 05 15:48:49 no Apr 05 15:49:37 wonder if it's possible to use video chat with backside camera instead of the front one Apr 05 15:49:56 <_llll_> i dont think many people want to video chat your arse Apr 05 15:51:09 VDVsx: hi, I have seen your comment on my gsoc project draft, what do you think about it? Apr 05 15:51:55 MohammadAG, W00000000000p! Apr 05 15:53:04 noobmonk3y, hey! Apr 05 15:53:18 hey hey :D - lots up h/c updates today! Apr 05 15:54:23 * MohammadAG wonders why noobmonk3y doesn't have his own repo Apr 05 15:54:28 hehehe Apr 05 15:54:28 you can upload 1 package each minute if you do :P Apr 05 15:54:30 good point ;) Apr 05 15:55:23 still trying to figure out how to get a decent app list Apr 05 15:56:16 BLINKING YELLOW ! Apr 05 15:56:23 third party, meh Apr 05 15:56:40 ? Apr 05 15:56:41 zoutube was updated, hope it works with the new youtube Apr 05 15:56:47 expected PR1.2 :P Apr 05 15:57:28 Jaffa, .... when you did catorise, did you do it in perl for a reason, or is that just the best way to get the apps installed etc? Apr 05 15:57:39 1.2.1? Apr 05 15:57:39 :) lol Apr 05 15:57:59 noobmonk3y, maybe he knows perl better :) Apr 05 15:58:07 very true, and expecting that answer Apr 05 15:58:21 but he is also cleverererer than me and may be able to help my feeble mind ;) Apr 05 16:01:00 a few more posts like http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=595111&postcount=15 and I will just mail Quim my N900 back Apr 05 16:03:44 * joga does not get it Apr 05 16:05:19 what don't you get joga ? Apr 05 16:05:23 andrewfblack, there are ****s, just ignore them Apr 05 16:06:37 andrewfblack: well, I don't know who festivalnut is and what relevance that post has :) Apr 05 16:06:39 MohammadAG: Seems people like that are taking over t.m.o now and days Apr 05 16:06:58 hi Apr 05 16:07:24 anyone there Apr 05 16:07:31 andrewfblack, noticed that, read the Goodbye N900 thread and saw a lot of them... Apr 05 16:07:32 joga: the relevance to me and that post is I an the designer of the minimalist theme and I don't know who he is either but I just get tired of people complaining about something but not getting suggestions on whats wrong with it or being willing ot fix it them self Apr 05 16:08:08 andrewfblack: ok, I see. I wouldn't worry much about it, people can be very insensitive over the net Apr 05 16:08:09 MohammadAG: I didn't even bother reading that thread maybe I will now Apr 05 16:08:44 andrewfblack, don't, it's just full of the normal N900 vs iPhone stuff, and someone's dramatic story of why he got an iPhone over the N900 Apr 05 16:09:10 he's obviously a troll, since 1. he doesn't have an N900 2. he joined the site to say how good his unshipped iPhone was. Apr 05 16:09:37 Hi guys, I've been playing with the openvpn applet, by default it won't "redirect-gateway" due to the fact the gprs default route doesn't have a gateway address defined. Ideally the API should pass the gateway address to "/etc/gprs/icd-gprs-up.sh", but it's easy enough to get the gateway from the P-t-P interface address so I modified it to do that. It's also handy to have a script set up dnsmasq for the vpn tunnel which I've also got wo Apr 05 16:09:37 rking. Should I just open buzgilla bugs and post my patches? Apr 05 16:10:17 I think since minimalist is kinda "broken" right now, they're using the maemo.org theme, and that one has the right half of pictures missing, as well as content that doesn't word-wrap and just gets cut off (the page numbers for example), as well as the right hand menu column that makes the actual content fill only like 60% of your N900's screen once you scroll down Apr 05 16:11:09 andrewfblack, maybe there should be a new forum that doesn't get announced on tmo :) Apr 05 16:11:21 byvb Apr 05 16:11:46 and on the other parts of maemo.org website some buttons only work if you're https:// and some only work if you're http://, and some stuff links to www.maemo and www.maemo leads nowhere after the server move.. Apr 05 16:12:07 lots of tiny things that make actually using maemo.org a bit painful :) Apr 05 16:20:55 ShadowJK: how is Minimalist broken? Apr 05 16:21:18 only have one bug reported and it is a minor one Apr 05 16:22:15 jump to first post doesn't work Apr 05 16:22:17 first new* Apr 05 16:22:31 It's like possibly one of the key feature you need to browse :P Apr 05 16:23:20 Someone will try the GSOC EbookReader ? Apr 05 16:23:26 unless the cause was found and fixed by now, I only tested it last week :) Apr 05 16:28:46 'cyliders' on sd card is really impressive :) Apr 05 16:29:31 s/lide/linde/ Apr 05 16:29:31 slonopotamus meant: 'cylinders' on sd card is really impressive :) Apr 05 16:34:12 FlavioFerreiraBR: IMO tehre is very little wrong with fbreader Apr 05 16:34:47 FlavioFerreiraBR: It could perhaps do with some tweaking - 2/4 orientations have issues with where the 'back to menu' button pops up. Apr 05 16:34:53 are there python bindings for gdigicam? Apr 05 16:35:41 hi, is there something similiar for maemo: http://code.google.com/p/websmsdroid/ Apr 05 16:35:41 * SpeedEvil discovers that you get sort-of-OK stereo by balancing the n900 on your head.

Apr 05 16:40:33 * pupnik tries switchin to 3g Apr 05 16:40:50 my rootfs really needs some space badly Apr 05 16:40:59 MohammadAG: you don't need the entire 1.1 sdk, but just the 1.1 rootstrap; that should be avail in tablet-dev site somewhere. Apr 05 16:41:42 * cehteh just doing that Apr 05 16:41:50 hmm.

I don't believe what you say!" Apr 05 16:42:36 means at worst i have to reflash Apr 05 16:42:38 speedevil, I think it's better expressed as "iPad killer app"? Apr 05 16:43:02 javispedro, thanks, will check it right now Apr 05 16:43:37 MohammadAG: actually, do you have the pr1.2 sdk installed? Apr 05 16:44:01 MohammadAG: try downgrading specific packages, to see if the older ones are still on the repos Apr 05 16:44:25 javispedro, still installing Apr 05 16:44:27 http://repository.maemo.org/stable/5.0//i386/ Apr 05 16:44:43 only files there seem to be modified on 1/4 Apr 05 16:45:05 javispedro: Is 720 the highest officially supported speed for the variant in the n900? Apr 05 16:45:25 you can do a /wallops GregoryRasputin for sale $10.01 if you like Apr 05 16:45:29 javispedro: where officially supported = chip is supposed to run at that speed - but not warrantied in n900 Apr 05 16:45:45 SpeedEvil: I don't know. 3430 datasheet requires NDA, technical manual is public but that information is removed. Apr 05 16:45:56 oops Apr 05 16:46:57 I thought 3530 is identical with 3430, but sure I can't be certain Apr 05 16:47:00 javispedro, I think this is it http://repository.maemo.org/stable/5.0//i386/maemo-sdk-rootstrap_5.0_i386.tgz Apr 05 16:47:12 since it has the same apt version as PR1.1.1 Apr 05 16:47:23 javispedro: ah - k Apr 05 16:47:29 javispedro: have you investigated nda? Apr 05 16:47:51 these blendtec blenders are awesome Apr 05 16:47:59 kirma: there have even been differences within 3530 revisions, since there seems to be speed binned one Apr 05 16:48:08 javispedro: i'm waiting for the first smoked n900 to calm the overclockers Apr 05 16:48:13 yep, I'm not surprised Apr 05 16:48:35 but it should be readable from the chip if it actually supports 720 MHz mode officially Apr 05 16:48:39 kirma: I have one datasheet where suggested core voltage for 720Mhz is same as 600Mhz; another one where it's not, and both of them are from the 3530 Apr 05 16:48:46 Stskeeps: the big that this one daemon sticks at 100%cpu isnt fixed yet Apr 05 16:48:56 cehteh: hildon-thumbnailer? Apr 05 16:49:08 no xinput something Apr 05 16:49:09 SpeedEvil: nope Apr 05 16:49:10 Note that the 720MHz CPU and the 600MHz CPU are both called 3530, but different part numbers :P Apr 05 16:49:27 there's even a 3530A around ;) Apr 05 16:49:29 * SpeedEvil wonders on the part number in n900. Apr 05 16:49:30 oh Apr 05 16:49:46 "720MHz Device Identification" on OMAP35x technical reference manual would probably be a way to see Apr 05 16:50:00 well 800mht would be awesome, but there should be a cpu governour which ensures a maximal time on that level Apr 05 16:50:56 maybe flash will then play without stuttering finally .. Apr 05 16:51:07 mhm or is flash DSP accelerated? Apr 05 16:51:11 it's not Apr 05 16:51:16 hey guys overclock the dsp pease :P Apr 05 16:51:21 most of the flash stutter comes from I/O anyway Apr 05 16:51:24 it eats a huge chunk of memory Apr 05 16:51:52 cehteh, apparently overclocking dsp is possible as well, but it's more difficult to benchmark it and see its stability etc, so it's not done by lehto's kernels Apr 05 16:52:02 i want ramzswap for my device .. have to ask t-tan if he made any progress there Apr 05 16:52:17 I actually had ramzswap on my desktop machine for a while Apr 05 16:52:27 I don't think I've seen anything where the DSP has stuttered :P Apr 05 16:52:27 i have it too on my laptop Apr 05 16:52:34 but I realized it doesn't help if it just puts stuff into it at boot and never digs it back Apr 05 16:52:44 currently not activated and i bought 4GB ram .. rarely needed Apr 05 16:52:47 btw 34xx technical reference manual is public: http://focus.ti.com/pdfs/wtbu/SWPU223A_FinalEPDF_03_17_2010.pdf Apr 05 16:53:01 because ramzswap has not yet (has the situation changed?) added a mechanism for pushing old ramzswap pages onto disk Apr 05 16:53:20 for some workloads its gold .. even with 4gb ram ... opening gitk --all on the kernel tree for example Apr 05 16:53:42 yeah nothing there yet Apr 05 16:54:00 nitin plans some improvements but compressing disk pages is higher on his list Apr 05 16:54:05 (reducing io by that) Apr 05 16:54:40 i made some suggestions to him and he slowly working on it. i thinhk its a cool project and works already pretty well Apr 05 16:54:43 "OMAP34xx family is composed of: OMAP3420, OMAP3430, OMAP3440-720". You can guess which one's been speed binned ;) Apr 05 16:54:52 :) Apr 05 16:55:50 whoah, cloak :) Apr 05 16:56:20 rootfs 227.8M 209.1M 14.5M 94% / Apr 05 16:56:26 woah .. some mb free :) Apr 05 16:56:27 javispedro: hmmmm Apr 05 16:57:04 and microb still working Apr 05 16:57:05 now it would be interesting to know what's the difference in comparison to 3530 Apr 05 16:57:32 feel free to diff a 3500 page document :) Apr 05 16:58:00 yeah Apr 05 16:58:25 34XX document is 44 pages longer Apr 05 16:58:34 hm... cellmo-watch crashed Apr 05 16:58:41 * ShadowJK wonders what it does and if it's important Apr 05 16:58:50 which is less than two percent though Apr 05 16:59:53 there is some discussion on t.m.o about enabling smart-reflex, i tried that now too, lets see, anyone of you noticed and instability/difference? Apr 05 17:00:05 I had a reboot once with SR enabled Apr 05 17:00:07 cehteh: it is unstable Apr 05 17:00:15 depends on device, currently. Apr 05 17:00:21 some say it is, some say it is not Apr 05 17:00:28 cehteh: differs from person to person though, depending on the quality of your omap3 chip Apr 05 17:01:03 I don't notice any difference in power consumption either Apr 05 17:01:05 after i enabled it and rebooted once the watchdog kicked in, but could be coincidence i had it running since hours now, just rebooted because of moveing the microb engine Apr 05 17:01:13 I have enabled it for two weeks, does not seem to crash more often, active use battery life improved sligthly (very slightly, but improved) Apr 05 17:01:24 ShadowJK: does not affect idle at all... Apr 05 17:01:25 ok Apr 05 17:01:56 well idle is already good, any improvement in the active department would be nice Apr 05 17:02:28 Ah, crap. Apr 05 17:02:30 i try and see Apr 05 17:02:33 Sorry, Jaffa. <_< Apr 05 17:02:42 ShadowJK: could you check (using bq2xxxx) if there's an improvement in the cpu at 100% use case? Apr 05 17:03:31 i doubt for the 100% case .. but when there is moderate activity it might be nice Apr 05 17:03:38 reading about it.. Apr 05 17:03:44 On my 24th hour with 900MHz - All stable and fine. Apr 05 17:03:47 how it behaves in reality might be different Apr 05 17:04:15 phellarv: i guess you dont do much with it :) Apr 05 17:04:34 i have constant wlan and xchat running, gives me about 16hrs Apr 05 17:04:53 phellarv, short-term isn't where you have to worry. :) Apr 05 17:04:56 adding 2g and gps, maep i am at 4-5 hrs :/ Apr 05 17:05:08 phellarv, it's week 3 or month 3, etc. where it suddenly turns into a brick. :) Apr 05 17:05:15 cehteh: moving or stationary? Apr 05 17:05:19 wlan+netradio isnt good either Apr 05 17:05:25 RST38h: moving, but only 2g Apr 05 17:05:30 * andrewfblack just closed t.m.o, will be a while before he returns their again Apr 05 17:05:39 cehteh: does not matter, it wastes time redrawing mostly Apr 05 17:05:59 GeneralAntilles: Seriously doubt your predictions. Apr 05 17:06:01 andrewfblack: could you please roll out the minimalist theme update first? Apr 05 17:06:08 RST38h: maep seems at least less power hungry for redrawing than mapper Apr 05 17:06:10 phellarv: it is your device Apr 05 17:06:17 cehteh: but of course :) Apr 05 17:06:32 GeneralAntilles: All mobile CPUs are downclocked way below their intended speed. Apr 05 17:06:33 phellarv: If you burn it, it will be your money wasted Apr 05 17:06:45 RST38h: Its not up to me to roll it out I have to beg Reggie for about 2 to 3 weeks then he will roll the updates out. Apr 05 17:06:45 phellarv, hey just read the spec Apr 05 17:06:56 andrewfblack: omg Apr 05 17:07:00 phellarv: not really .. you dont want a big heatsink and fan on your mobile Apr 05 17:07:23 cehteh: Of course I will have the big heatsink... Apr 05 17:07:26 RST38h: Its just one more thing that drives me crasy about t.m.o Apr 05 17:07:42 they are often in warm places (bag, pouch, trouser) without ventilation Apr 05 17:08:03 so they have to be conservatively clocked Apr 05 17:08:05 kirma: interestingly enough, one difference between the 34xx and 35x TRMs is that the 34x one doesn't mention smartreflex! (4.1.2.2) Apr 05 17:08:06 andrewfblack: I am no longer trying to participate in maemo.org administration in any way Apr 05 17:08:08 anyone know the package name to get xterm in the Maemo emulator? Apr 05 17:08:10 (or good thermal management) Apr 05 17:08:13 electromigration is probably bigger concern than heat really Apr 05 17:08:21 andrewfblack: any plans, suggestions, or mockups appear to be futile Apr 05 17:08:24 maybe smartreflex is even a stub on the 34xx and we're here pursuing ghosts :P Apr 05 17:08:26 PhonicUK: its there by default and the package is osso-xterm Apr 05 17:08:41 javispedro: it is not. once you enable it, the tablet crashes :) Apr 05 17:08:51 cehteh, I've just installed the latest version and its not there :\ Apr 05 17:08:54 haha RST38h yours crashes? Apr 05 17:09:00 its there now though :) Apr 05 17:09:07 cehteh: Have not even tested it on mine, given statistics Apr 05 17:09:09 PhonicUK: should be there ... in the 'More...' thing Apr 05 17:09:18 there is no "More.." Apr 05 17:09:22 brb Apr 05 17:09:23 huh? Apr 05 17:09:38 RST38h: I'm about to give up on maemo.org altogether. I will most likly regret something in the full page blog post I just made. Its all rant and no rave. I didn't even reread it to filter my self lol Apr 05 17:09:54 in the apps menu, there are 14 apps, not enough to get a "More.." menu Apr 05 17:09:55 RST38h: well i tried and so far it works, i have to watch it a few days to see Apr 05 17:10:06 PhonicUK: strange Apr 05 17:10:08 now ive installed osso-xterm its there though Apr 05 17:10:16 the X Terminal icon that is, not the More... Apr 05 17:10:46 ok Apr 05 17:10:59 Hmm - Where could I see the current cpu-speed - /proc/? Apr 05 17:11:09 tmo seems to be down \o/ Apr 05 17:11:14 party! Apr 05 17:11:17 phellarv: if you dont know, you shouldnt try :P Apr 05 17:11:17 ;) Apr 05 17:11:20 * Stskeeps hugs andrewfblack Apr 05 17:11:35 I needed that Stskeeps Apr 05 17:11:45 np :P Apr 05 17:11:46 cehteh: Bahaha. Apr 05 17:12:05 now show me that post before you regret it and erase it :P Apr 05 17:12:14 javispedro: hmmh. anyway, differences on table of contents page count level seem to be relatively evenly spread over the manuals Apr 05 17:12:40 yeah, but the missing 2 pages about smartreflex have surprised me for a start :P Apr 05 17:12:47 Stskeeps: http://andrewblck.com/?p=126 don't know if I will follow through will everything I say I will do but right now I really feel like I want to Apr 05 17:13:03 nvm - found it under sys Apr 05 17:13:06 andrewfblack: that sounded like a suicide threat :P Apr 05 17:13:15 hmm Apr 05 17:13:21 Stskeeps: Suicide for my N900 maybe Apr 05 17:14:17 andrewfblack: i don't really think you're saying anything that isn't true though Apr 05 17:14:59 andrewfblack: i'd go more into detail over what bothers you and how you think things should be fixed Apr 05 17:15:06 * Stskeeps is a big proponent of increased moderation Apr 05 17:15:08 yeah, they're sometimes really evil in tmo Apr 05 17:15:36 I find that they've still not come to the realization that there's human heads behind. Apr 05 17:15:41 I would agree that in general tmo needs more moderation of the fucktards flooding it Apr 05 17:15:57 behind developers, behind Nokia. Apr 05 17:16:10 i'm hoping the new council will do their bit to bring this community back on track, because the last council (some people excluded) seems like next to nothing got accomplished Apr 05 17:16:13 :P Apr 05 17:16:19 The funny this is if I got pissed chunked my N900 in the drawn and said the heck with it the only ones who would care are the ones that are not bothing me Apr 05 17:16:28 Stskeeps: well, we didn't start exactly right, with one mod down :( Apr 05 17:16:55 hmm? Apr 05 17:17:24 Stskeeps: saw the "who mods mods" thread? Apr 05 17:17:40 javispedro: ah, crashanddie's behaviour? Apr 05 17:18:03 yep, he got burn from that I think. Apr 05 17:18:05 he was a new mod after council got added? Apr 05 17:18:24 er, elected Apr 05 17:18:46 no, he was a mod before, iirc. Apr 05 17:18:49 ah Apr 05 17:19:03 arg this is annoying Apr 05 17:19:13 in the Maemo emu, the normal enter key does nothing Apr 05 17:19:18 i have the use the enter key on the number pad :\ Apr 05 17:19:27 wow... got my N900 to boot itself just by trying to connect to an adhoc wireless network Apr 05 17:19:42 either way, you need to find people who are sufficiently balanced - power tripping people will harm things. i mean, i just got my first forum ban in 10 years because of immature mods somewhere else :) Apr 05 17:20:00 ah there keyboard layout isn't British, but theres no british option Apr 05 17:20:20 Stskeeps: you've been banned? :) Apr 05 17:20:24 andrewfblack: i'd thumb up your post when i see it on planet, but constructive suggestions would be nice too Apr 05 17:20:36 javispedro: not from talk :P Apr 05 17:20:48 damn :) Apr 05 17:21:06 I think I will post a follow up to my rant later today with some constructive sugguestions, I just needed to rant a little first. Apr 05 17:21:12 andrewfblack: :nod: Apr 05 17:21:19 i'll probably thumb up your rant, so don't take it the wrong way Apr 05 17:21:20 :P Apr 05 17:21:30 i mean, Mer started as a rant about Maemo Apr 05 17:21:30 :P Apr 05 17:21:37 andrewfblack: that's what we do continuously here: rant :) Apr 05 17:22:35 I really am about to the point of putting away n900 if I had another phone lol Apr 05 17:23:10 would be a shame, with even meego going to it :P Apr 05 17:23:32 Stskeeps: lol do we really know that it is? Apr 05 17:23:50 aha. "ubifs corruption" mention in overclock thread. Apr 05 17:24:02 Does anyone build for Maemo without using Scratchbox? Apr 05 17:24:04 conspirators !! Apr 05 17:24:06 * VDVsx hides Apr 05 17:24:36 PhonicUK, you can use MADDE if you are using Qt Apr 05 17:24:56 well, also works for gtk+, afaik Apr 05 17:24:58 is there a particular IDE that it ties in with? Apr 05 17:25:04 Normally I use Code::Blocks Apr 05 17:25:27 Qt Creator :) Apr 05 17:25:29 (I guess) Apr 05 17:25:30 Stskeeps: have you ever had a successful learn of battery cap? Apr 05 17:25:32 there's esbox at least Apr 05 17:25:44 and Qt creator beta IIRC Apr 05 17:25:54 also the other day someone was talking about ingreting sbox1 with an ide here Apr 05 17:25:59 *integrating Apr 05 17:26:13 SpeedEvil, yes Apr 05 17:26:20 with the original battery :) Apr 05 17:26:35 after selecting the target you can do sbox invocations like "scratchbox command_to_run /full/absolute/sbox/path/to/file" Apr 05 17:26:40 there's a video in the Qt blog, of full device integration for Maemo and S60 Apr 05 17:26:40 *installs Qt creator* Apr 05 17:26:57 with QtC ? Apr 05 17:27:01 ShadowJK: Odd. vdq was 1, and it powered off. Apr 05 17:27:12 ShadowJK: and no learn Apr 05 17:27:15 PhonicUK, yes, but its a beta or alpha Apr 05 17:27:34 ah ok Apr 05 17:27:35 SpeedEvil, it's kinda hard I think, it needs to be like 12 seconds below EDV1 threshold but above shutdown threshold (which cuts drain to 0 and makes voltage jump up) :) Apr 05 17:27:43 so probably not in the version in the main Ubuntu repo? Apr 05 17:28:11 VDQ just dropped to 0 :( Apr 05 17:28:18 too huge capacity =/ Apr 05 17:28:24 andrewfblack: that's a pity, I've seen many of you posts and I've seen how you help people (can't say I used any of your themes because I am not too keen on changing the appearance of my desktop), but the two posts you linked to on your blog seem just the regular, immature non-critical critic that often appears to makers of free (as in free speech) stuff Apr 05 17:28:40 ShadowJK: it perhaps tripped off due to incoming SMS Apr 05 17:29:40 PhonicUK, http://labs.trolltech.com/blogs/2010/03/11/qt-creator-20-alpha/ Apr 05 17:32:25 oh nice Win32 support :D Apr 05 17:35:18 youtube comment to "Will the iPad blend?" video: "This video gave me a reason to live." Apr 05 17:40:15 the success the ipad has is just sad Apr 05 17:41:16 why? Apr 05 17:41:20 it's a cool device Apr 05 17:41:53 no it isn't. Apr 05 17:42:00 hm.. my N900 isn't charging :o Apr 05 17:42:07 :o Apr 05 17:42:19 haltdef: Have you got one? Apr 05 17:42:25 ShadowJK: see what I told you about overclocking... oh, wait. Apr 05 17:42:28 ;) Apr 05 17:42:40 no, I know it's useless without needing to touch one Apr 05 17:42:50 javispedro: i reflashed, but the device still has my contacts Apr 05 17:42:53 iphone OS alone makes it pants :P Apr 05 17:43:02 trumee: did you reflash the emmc too? Apr 05 17:43:02 javispedro: reflashing doesnt format the user partition Apr 05 17:43:16 javispedro: i used RX-51_2009SE_3.2010.02-8.203.1_PR_COMBINED_203_ARM.bin Apr 05 17:43:25 trumee: that's not the emmc indeed :) Apr 05 17:43:34 ~flashing Apr 05 17:43:35 flashing is, like, http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_tablet_firmware Apr 05 17:43:59 is there any benefit to installing a custom kernel on the N900? Apr 05 17:44:06 trumee: follow this http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_tablet_firmware#Flashing_the_eMMC_in_the_N900 Apr 05 17:44:16 http://opensource.com/life/10/4/five-open-source-alternatives-ipad ---> alternatives to the iPad Apr 05 17:44:49 trumee: no need to reflash the fiasco/rootfs again if you did already. Apr 05 17:45:09 ptl_demands_PR12: i have hopes for the wepad Apr 05 17:45:21 javispedro: but i restarted the device. the howoto says that the device should not be booted Apr 05 17:45:32 javispedro: "When flashing the eMMC content, always flash the FIASCO/Rootfs image first, then the eMMC. Do not boot up the device between the two!" Apr 05 17:46:15 javispedro: but the device automatically restart after flashing the rootfs Apr 05 17:46:20 trumee: yes, but for current firmwares you're mostly safe as long as you don't do much stuff between flashing fiasco and emmc (like installing apps) Apr 05 17:46:39 wait, the touchbook has an OMAP2? Apr 05 17:46:42 javispedro: ok, no i havent installed any apps. Apr 05 17:46:45 ml-mobile, no Apr 05 17:46:52 ml-mobile, omap3 Apr 05 17:47:06 that site ptl linked is wrong then Apr 05 17:47:24 oh actually Gaia thinks charger is still connected Apr 05 17:47:30 also, apple likely still wins for user experience Apr 05 17:47:49 touchbook had a lot of potential if the thing wasn't so immature Apr 05 17:47:49 :P Apr 05 17:48:07 javispedro: were you the one who asked me to port GCC 4.4.3 to scratchbox? Apr 05 17:48:27 LiraNuna: I _suggested_ it, I couldn't ask anyone to suffer so much ;) Apr 05 17:48:46 oh I like challenges Apr 05 17:49:01 I one compiled a canadian cross compiled on Linux targeting OSX to run on windows Apr 05 17:49:05 you know, I applied some of those changes to transitons.ini and this thing actually feels more responsive Apr 05 17:50:23 LiraNuna: also note that cs2009q1 is already ported: http://www.scratchbox.org/download/files/sbox-releases/apophis/deb/ Apr 05 17:51:00 javispedro: i dont need to reflash the rootfs after flashing the emmc? Apr 05 17:51:05 what's cs? Apr 05 17:51:19 LiraNuna: codesourcery Apr 05 17:51:28 javispedro: the howto suggests the alternate "Having flashed the eMMC, you should now flash the firmware of your device. " Apr 05 17:51:32 oh, that sounds safe Apr 05 17:52:02 trumee: do as you wish, it won't hurt, but it's not needed either. Apr 05 17:52:12 javispedro: thanks Apr 05 17:52:32 * javispedro notes the wiki contradicts itself Apr 05 17:52:52 "always flash the FIASCO/Rootfs image first" <-> "Having flashed the eMMC, you should now flash the firmware of your device. " Apr 05 17:53:25 so, what's first: chicken or the egg? Apr 05 17:53:41 fish Apr 05 17:53:47 bo, plangton Apr 05 17:53:52 *no Apr 05 17:54:33 javispedro: why do you think it'll be a pain to have a different GCC Version in scratchbox? Apr 05 17:54:41 it is Apr 05 17:54:42 :P Apr 05 17:54:47 javispedro: do i need to press 'u' again when flashing the emmc? Apr 05 17:55:10 Stskeeps: care to add why? Apr 05 17:55:16 trumee: yes, it's mostly the same as flashing a normal image only you change the image the flash and it takes more time. Apr 05 17:55:25 *image to flash. Apr 05 17:55:44 LiraNuna: because adding a scratchbox toolchain is similar to stabbing yourself with a fork Apr 05 17:56:13 javispedro: cheers, the instructions on emmc flash on the wiki are not complete then. Apr 05 17:56:32 LiraNuna: i've done it once but it wasn't a pleasure :P Apr 05 17:56:34 yes, seems they're a bit rotten. Apr 05 17:56:54 Stskeeps: I love challenges Apr 05 17:57:21 Anyone know if there are any examples on python-notify ? Can't find any:) Apr 05 18:00:06 noobmonk3y_: Just because it's on the device by default, and seemed sensible for quick text processing. Apr 05 18:01:56 VDVsx: Ta. Fixed. Apr 05 18:02:04 Stskeeps: Cool, my Joggler arrives tomorrow :-) Apr 05 18:03:02 javispedro: ok the right speaker is certainly dead. The reflash did not revive it. Apr 05 18:03:16 Jaffa, :D thankee! Apr 05 18:03:29 Managed to piece it apart and started looking at it in python :D Apr 05 18:03:38 just about remember perl :P Apr 05 18:04:07 noobmonk3y_: Didn't want to make Python a dependency for something so trivial. Although having Python as a dependency for a future GUI editor would be fine Apr 05 18:05:55 hehe good point :D - i'm more interested in a gui app dependency list etc... so list apps, see how much them + dependencies take etc.... Apr 05 18:06:42 Scary, after 2 days my N900 developed a hardware fault Apr 05 18:06:58 trumee: mine developed that after 2 months Apr 05 18:07:06 * noobmonk3y_ 's hasn't yet! Apr 05 18:07:12 it's best to catch faults early :) Apr 05 18:07:42 https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5357#c146 somebody's scoring points for being banned from bugzilla Apr 05 18:07:46 Bug 5357: Does not accept GSM (USSD) Codes starting with *# Apr 05 18:08:08 maybe i should return my N900 and wait for the meego device :) Apr 05 18:08:25 Scary, after 2 days my N900 developed a hardware fault Apr 05 18:08:29 javispedro, clearly Bugzilla registrations should be more complicated. Apr 05 18:08:32 mine developed one day on 2 Apr 05 18:08:55 trumee, it's better that they develop early when you haven't become completely attached and when the retailer return period is still available. Apr 05 18:08:56 fixed itself after 2 months too Apr 05 18:09:03 trumee, rather than 2 days after the warranty is up. Apr 05 18:09:34 GeneralAntilles: yup, i am probably luck in that respect. Apr 05 18:09:48 MohammadAG: what fault was that? Apr 05 18:10:15 trumee, vibration motor stopped working Apr 05 18:10:20 GeneralAntilles: although i did spend the last two days setting it up to my liking. Apr 05 18:10:32 backup, replace, restore :) Apr 05 18:10:35 MohammadAG: crap. and it solved by itself Apr 05 18:10:45 yep Apr 05 18:10:53 trumee, what's your problem? Apr 05 18:11:07 err defect* Apr 05 18:11:10 MohammadAG: right speaker has stopped working. Apr 05 18:11:18 oh :( Apr 05 18:11:25 doubt that'll get fixed on its own Apr 05 18:11:26 hello Apr 05 18:11:35 mine has two hardware "faults" already. keyboard bezel not fitting properly at the lower end and the touchscreen having a slight and odd surface tension so that if I press a tad harder then neccessary, it "clicks" inside and touches the lcd making scary looking ripples. Apr 05 18:11:50 MohammadAG: i always have the speaker at maximum. could that be a problem? Apr 05 18:11:56 I'd say the build quality is generally crap. but as expected. Apr 05 18:12:03 trumee, it should be able to handle it Apr 05 18:12:12 i am thinking in buy a n900 today any hints , tips to take in count Apr 05 18:12:18 MohammadAG: the sound level otherwise is so low. My N95 speakers are much louder. Apr 05 18:12:28 E0x: what are you expecting? Apr 05 18:12:30 E0x: if you have an addictive personality, you're going to have problems Apr 05 18:12:35 I think noobmonk3y got something wrong Apr 05 18:12:41 Stskeeps: hehe why Apr 05 18:12:43 E0x: read the specs and what it can and cannot so you're not going to be disappointed Apr 05 18:12:47 * ShadowJK usually fires up alsamixer to make the lowest sound level lower on his N900... Apr 05 18:12:48 my CPU can't be running at 2 deg C Apr 05 18:12:50 E0x: it's like the screen is made of cocaine. Apr 05 18:12:51 microlith: useful,hackfriendly device Apr 05 18:13:11 E0x: alright, you've made the right choice Apr 05 18:13:20 trumee, everything after the 5800 doesn't have good speakers Apr 05 18:13:27 the X6 is an exception Apr 05 18:13:30 i mean not have some manufacture or design problem in the hardware ? Apr 05 18:13:37 MohammadAG: N97 also? Apr 05 18:13:41 i hear something about the jack Apr 05 18:13:46 mini-jack Apr 05 18:13:49 trumee: if this is the same fault as I got, you'll also note the maximum speaker volume is pretty low Apr 05 18:13:55 trumee, yep, I sold mine Apr 05 18:13:58 E0x: you mean usb? Apr 05 18:14:02 the N97 that is Apr 05 18:14:02 E0x: Some people had issues with the USB jack, I've h ad mine since december and have had no isues Apr 05 18:14:10 E0x: some had it falling out. should covered by warranty of course. Apr 05 18:14:20 heh Apr 05 18:14:32 javispedro: yes, exactly. The speaker level has become low now. i was surprised by that. Apr 05 18:14:37 microlith: ok so is question of luck or random issues ? Apr 05 18:14:41 trumee: yes , sorry Apr 05 18:14:52 trumee: and even distorted, but ignore that and get a replacement. Apr 05 18:15:13 javispedro: yup, i am going to take it to the shop tomorrow. Apr 05 18:15:19 E0x: random issues probably Apr 05 18:15:35 cool i will go for it Apr 05 18:15:37 trumee, I think the N97's speakers are the same as the N900's Apr 05 18:16:06 javispedro: funny thing i noticed, that the device remembered the date after a reflash. guess it picked it up from hardware clock. Apr 05 18:16:48 n900 coming with the lasted firmware/maemo update ? Apr 05 18:17:05 E0x: but you are aware it lacks some features *some* feel to be very important, like, say, custom ring tones per contact or stuff like that Apr 05 18:17:05 or i need check the version and check for update ? Apr 05 18:17:15 E0x: mine came with the latest at the time Apr 05 18:17:17 USSD, MMS, Video Calls Apr 05 18:17:22 E0x: i bought mine two days ago. the firmware wasnt the latest one. Apr 05 18:17:22 E0x: dunno, if it doesn't it'll prompt you Apr 05 18:17:31 ussd is fixed in pr.1.2 isn't it. Apr 05 18:17:38 pr 1.2 isn't out Apr 05 18:17:39 Shapeshifter: i can live without that kind of stuff , i don't use it in my iphone Apr 05 18:17:40 so Apr 05 18:18:03 ShadowJK: but it will be, some day ^^ Apr 05 18:18:32 E0x: you are moving from iphone to N900, good one there! Apr 05 18:19:05 Shapeshifter, maybe Apr 05 18:19:23 Shapeshifter, but I would not base my purchase decisions on future expectations that might or might not come true Apr 05 18:19:41 trumee: yes , i drowned my iphone few months ago Apr 05 18:19:48 ShadowJK: true that. Apr 05 18:19:53 i feel the iphone limit Apr 05 18:20:18 Isn't USSD coming in 1.2 Apr 05 18:20:31 (and sort-of-there with ussd-widget, as is mms with fmms) Apr 05 18:20:38 E0x: the n900 doesn't scroll as smoothly in most apps. Apr 05 18:20:53 it's definitely usable but jerky depending on your standards of smoothness. Apr 05 18:20:54 i spend 10% of the itme scrolling Apr 05 18:20:54 so Apr 05 18:21:04 there are community pkgs for USSD and MMS Apr 05 18:21:49 what is USSD ? Apr 05 18:21:54 and yes, the hw seems to have issues with speakers at max volume. That's why they implemented a special PA dynamic compression - seems the amp can blow the speakers Apr 05 18:21:56 *#133# Apr 05 18:21:59 ^^ Apr 05 18:22:46 E0x: what *I* love about it is: a) hacking in practically any language I want using any lib or toolset as long as it compiles on ARM, b) the emulators + keyboard, like vgba, snes, c) nice instant-messaging integration imo, d) *awesome* screen Apr 05 18:23:03 DocScrutinizer: is that what happened to my device. I had the device set to max volume for the past two days and one speaker blew off Apr 05 18:23:09 Shapeshifter: i like that ! Apr 05 18:23:43 trumee: no, as he said, there's quite heavy software protection for it Apr 05 18:23:45 trumee: possibly. or you simply got a weak component which can happen all the time Apr 05 18:23:56 E0x: and the good linuxy stuff like sshd Apr 05 18:24:10 E0x: you can even x2x onto the n900 and stuff like that. Apr 05 18:24:23 aha, iphone os 4.0 announced Apr 05 18:24:32 multitasking? Apr 05 18:24:41 nothing public, more on the 8th Apr 05 18:25:12 who cares? Apr 05 18:25:22 the entire world, unfortunately :( Apr 05 18:25:37 yet again I won't be able to read any non-apple new in my rss feeds tonight :( Apr 05 18:25:46 Shapeshifter: hmm will useful if vpnc work Apr 05 18:25:51 (I am to blame here for choosing so horrible feeds) Apr 05 18:25:55 E0x: it does for me Apr 05 18:26:03 nice ! Apr 05 18:26:24 E0x: someone wrote a status-area applet but that one is a bit daft. you're invited to improve it (e.g. it should save the password and stuff) Apr 05 18:27:02 i not that good programing but i want do some play with it Apr 05 18:28:00 Shapeshifter: is there pptp support? Apr 05 18:28:00 did someone explain what ussd was? Apr 05 18:28:02 I miseed that Apr 05 18:28:14 it's used to check credit on some operators Apr 05 18:28:17 as well as other things Apr 05 18:28:22 oh Apr 05 18:28:31 *#(insert number)# - send Apr 05 18:28:36 kamui: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unstructured_Supplementary_Service_Data Apr 05 18:29:02 trumee: no idea but "why not"... Apr 05 18:34:24 E0x: N900 maemo is a quite standard linux system for all you usually care about. If you're happy with a desktop linux, you'll love the N900. If you want a are looking for a nifty smartphone, you better get a iPhone Apr 05 18:34:24 ~ping Apr 05 18:34:26 ~pong Apr 05 18:34:55 DocScrutinizer: i was a iphone user Apr 05 18:35:25 iphone is for ppl who think need a smartphone Apr 05 18:35:37 or want say that have a smartphone Apr 05 18:36:22 its not a smart phone, but is a clever phone Apr 05 18:36:31 but in my personal view i need what i think n900 is Apr 05 18:36:36 a table internet with phone feature Apr 05 18:37:17 E0x: yep Apr 05 18:37:51 I got an N900 because i wanted a small computer Apr 05 18:37:57 I see it as a small netbook , with phone feature Apr 05 18:37:57 The phone features are a bonus Apr 05 18:38:03 * joga really likes it now that easydebian is installed Apr 05 18:38:15 joga: Easydebian? Apr 05 18:38:44 adisbladis: you know, the one in Extras, where you download a debian filesystem image and can chroot there and run software in it Apr 05 18:39:00 guys, anybody remember what was the initial price of N900 when it came out? Apr 05 18:39:29 adisbladis: so I can now run maemo progs *and* debian progs and maintain them separately Apr 05 18:39:30 depends on the country Apr 05 18:39:32 see, e.g N9x phones have cute voicedial feature, N900 doesn't Apr 05 18:40:14 6000SEK was the initial price Apr 05 18:40:15 500GBP in UK Apr 05 18:40:23 Here in sweden if i recall correctly Apr 05 18:40:30 anotnac: so it hasnt dropped much in price then. Apr 05 18:41:04 thanks to "inofficial" import from emirates n900's are available here for just $620 Apr 05 18:41:13 trumee: 599EUR on german Nokia webshop Apr 05 18:41:45 umm Apr 05 18:41:53 the screen isn't pressure sensitive right? Apr 05 18:41:59 i have seenits dropped by £20 on nokia site, i;m certain you can get them much cheaper from other places Apr 05 18:42:29 I bought mine used (the guy had used it for a day) for 4200SEK (about 430 euros) Apr 05 18:42:34 MohammadAG: huh? Apr 05 18:42:52 DocScrutinizer, not sure how I can explain this but Apr 05 18:42:55 open the menu Apr 05 18:42:58 tap more Apr 05 18:43:19 somebody experience some sip phone Apr 05 18:43:24 with n900 ? Apr 05 18:43:24 hold an icon's app and move a bit, then reduce pressure without removing your finger/stylus, the glow will fade a bit but it stays there Apr 05 18:43:32 E0x: works great here Apr 05 18:43:35 E0x: i am a regular user of sip. Apr 05 18:43:36 app's icon* Apr 05 18:43:49 E0x: works great, but eats cpu like anything Apr 05 18:43:55 MohammadAG, resistive is pressure sensitive. Apr 05 18:43:57 a question i can have a sip phone open and if some call in i get wake ( the phone ) Apr 05 18:44:00 like normal phone call Apr 05 18:44:02 MohammadAG, it WORKS based on pressure. ;) Apr 05 18:44:14 DocScrutinizer: i find pulse audio running at 35% with sip. is that normal? Apr 05 18:44:22 i mean some background state or something Apr 05 18:44:30 MohammadAG: well the ts is capable to give a 'pressure' value - at least in hw Apr 05 18:44:30 GeneralAntilles, lol didn't think of it that way Apr 05 18:44:33 trumee: don't think Apr 05 18:44:46 35% is something wrong there Apr 05 18:44:46 I'm wondering if apps like GIMP can support it Apr 05 18:44:49 E0x: sip calls work the same as normal calls on N900 Apr 05 18:44:49 MohammadAG: no idea if it's exposed via API and if it's used Apr 05 18:44:50 DocScrutinizer: gtk apps can read it, but requires some work (I doubt the launcher does it) Apr 05 18:45:04 trumee: so i can have my phone "sleep" Apr 05 18:45:09 and the call in normal Apr 05 18:45:22 E0x: although, there is no Message Waiting Indicator support (which sucks) Apr 05 18:45:40 javispedro, well try what I said a couple of lines above :) Apr 05 18:45:44 E0x: dont understand what you mean by sleep. Turned off? Apr 05 18:46:00 lock/sleep Apr 05 18:46:15 the same state that iphone get when you press the lock button Apr 05 18:46:24 ( screen off , etc ) Apr 05 18:46:35 E0x, lock switch is on the side Apr 05 18:46:36 E0x: oh yes it responds to sip calls like normal calls Apr 05 18:46:37 GeneralAntilles: though you're basically right, in practice first instance you are not. R-TS is 'working on pressure' like a pushbutton does Apr 05 18:46:47 trumee: cool Apr 05 18:47:23 i hope ( and i think all n900 owners ) that meego get n900 support too Apr 05 18:47:31 meego look promise Apr 05 18:47:33 E0x: but as i said i have noticed that cpu usage is high for sip calls Apr 05 18:47:34 GeneralAntilles: 2nd thought you can read out the area*pressure from r-ts, though it's not very exact Apr 05 18:47:44 trumee: ok Apr 05 18:47:51 thx Apr 05 18:48:05 E0x: that is the reason i delayed buying my N900 until i was sure meego will be supported Apr 05 18:48:19 n900 is other with n810 Apr 05 18:48:32 microb does distinguish between finger and stylus this way, at least our microb guru told me so Apr 05 18:48:33 E0x: with the latest meego update, my worries have been settled :) Apr 05 18:48:35 er... n900 doesn't necessarily support meego at this point. Apr 05 18:48:41 i am using n800 Apr 05 18:48:43 trumee: heeh yes Apr 05 18:49:04 javispedro: why not? it is a reference phone for meego. Apr 05 18:49:14 DocScrutinizer: 770/n8x0 used that to decide wheter to launch finger keyboard or stylus keyboard Apr 05 18:49:42 trumee, only a development device. Apr 05 18:50:21 trumee: E0x: why do you *need* meego?? o.O Apr 05 18:50:48 DocScrutinizer: because i need an all singing and dancing Qt phone Apr 05 18:51:00 Qt comes to Maemo with PR1.2 Apr 05 18:51:15 lol found this funny look at link http://twitter.com/chansearrington/status/11654840996 Apr 05 18:51:45 trumee: I'd say meego will never be "supported" by the n900. there will likely be usable but possibly incomplete builds but I'd say it's almost certain that nokia will not support it officially. Apr 05 18:51:53 [/specualtion] Apr 05 18:52:10 there's nothing meego could do better than maemo now, and that isn't going to change for let's say at least 12 months Apr 05 18:52:30 (and in fact might never change depending on n900+1 hw) Apr 05 18:52:35 I'd rather like to see ofono on maemo 5 instead. Apr 05 18:52:52 and stuff like that. Just replace the dumb nokia closed bits with good stuff on maemo :) Apr 05 18:53:19 Shapeshifter: ack Apr 05 18:54:18 meego benefit is for software portage with bigger community Apr 05 18:54:40 I want the ui to be open. it is a shame to ask the Nokia devs to change ui everytime and leave it to their whims and fancies Apr 05 18:54:56 Addressbook, Calendar should be open. Apr 05 18:55:06 and i hope meego will accomplish that. Apr 05 18:55:08 trumee: which hasn't got much to do with meego specifically. Apr 05 18:55:34 trumee: you're invited to install any open calendar or addressbook right now. Apr 05 18:55:39 on maemo. Apr 05 18:55:40 all this are bit NOT EXISTANT in meego for now, and it will take a looong time until it changes Apr 05 18:56:13 Shapeshifter: but these will not be integrated into the system like the official ones. Apr 05 18:57:06 Shapeshifter: what makes you think they will, once there's any such app like dialer or calendar in meego? Apr 05 18:57:09 trumee: as DocScrutinizer said, it will be *long* until there will be anything you're dreaming of available in meego. Apr 05 18:57:21 calendar will probably not be open in meego, unless some breakthrough happens Apr 05 18:57:29 btw. how should one be able to click on links in the terminal while having virtual keyb enabled and hw keyb closed? it briefly shows the copy/open popup and then the virtual keyboard Apr 05 18:57:36 meego handset ux, that is. Apr 05 18:57:53 DocScrutinizer: mh? Apr 05 18:57:53 once I managed to get the copy/open without triggerin the vkbd Apr 05 18:58:13 Shapeshifter: E-ADDR Apr 05 18:58:31 javispedro: if it's not going to be open, why would it be in meego and not a vendor-supplied image? Apr 05 18:58:35 s/ Shapeshifter / trumee Apr 05 18:58:36 joga: works here, how do you try to get to the copy/open popup? Apr 05 18:58:54 javispedro: I just tap on a link Apr 05 18:59:04 microlith: yeah, forgot about the "handset ux". Apr 05 18:59:27 what is ux btw? Apr 05 18:59:33 user experience Apr 05 18:59:40 :) Apr 05 18:59:47 javispedro: but do you have virtual keyboard enabled in settings? Apr 05 18:59:59 joga: no, sorry, you're completely right. Apr 05 19:00:07 and pondering about waiting for 'meego device' or rather get a N900 - c'mon that's outright silly Apr 05 19:00:14 hi guys Apr 05 19:00:53 i'm with a friend on the n900 and he is searching a viewer and also editor for all office suite files like oOO is someone having an idea ? Apr 05 19:00:55 User interfaXe Apr 05 19:00:56 it's funny how people - "customers" - thought they've been adressed when the first meego images were released :D Apr 05 19:01:25 that would be very cool cause he is leaving and i would like to find him that before he leaves Apr 05 19:01:32 jacquesdupontd: one option is easydebian which includes ooo Apr 05 19:01:48 "zomg meego is out".... "huh this sucks it has no features, we're being mocked". They don't really get open source, do they. Apr 05 19:01:49 not that the device is superb for using it... Apr 05 19:01:52 easydebian is a totally different os on the n900 ? Apr 05 19:01:59 joga Apr 05 19:02:00 Docscrutinizer, I just logged in... so excuse my ignorance but.. why is is silly? many are wondering the same Apr 05 19:02:20 DocScrutinizer: i guess the question becomes important when somebody is buying a device close to the release date of the next device. If somebody bought N900 last december it wasnt important, but if somebody is buying N900 in next two months it is an important question to ask. Apr 05 19:02:41 joga is it like ubuntu that we can install on the n900 Apr 05 19:02:49 trumee: huh. so you think a meego device is coming out anytime soon? Apr 05 19:03:17 people are probably confusing harmattan with the current meego release Apr 05 19:03:18 Shapeshifter: what do you say by end of the year? Apr 05 19:03:39 smhar: if you're considering to get a device next 5 years, then you probably don't want a N900 right now. If you need a device next 6 months, then you're out of luck with any 'meego device' Apr 05 19:03:49 trumee: I'm not up to date, but where does it say this? Apr 05 19:03:57 trumee: and do you remember the n900 release schedule? Apr 05 19:04:08 Shapeshifter: no i dont. Apr 05 19:04:28 they were like "it's out october 1st". I got mine mid-february. Apr 05 19:04:36 * DocScrutinizer yawns Apr 05 19:04:39 sorry Apr 05 19:04:49 DocScrutinizer: :) Apr 05 19:05:02 DocScrutinizer: bored? go give tmo a visit Apr 05 19:05:10 jacquesdupontd: not exactly, but it's a debian image that makes it possible to install anything debian has, without risking messing up maemo Apr 05 19:05:11 Shapeshifter: the next version of Nxx will not be meego? Apr 05 19:05:13 EEEEEK Apr 05 19:05:34 burnt and suicidal? go give tmo a visit! Apr 05 19:05:39 ok he just found it out on the respository Apr 05 19:05:42 he is just installing it Apr 05 19:05:51 jacquesdupontd: search youtube for n900 debian, there's a nice video of some guy who demonstrates it :) Apr 05 19:06:00 heh ok Apr 05 19:06:00 from what i just read after that we can install easily with apt-get commands Apr 05 19:06:13 * noobmonk3y will be back later - need beer Apr 05 19:06:28 i just searched and read things about it, most ppl are installing it to run openoffice and gimp from what it seems Apr 05 19:06:34 jacquesdupontd: that is correcy Apr 05 19:06:45 *ct Apr 05 19:06:55 im on debian since 7 years i should managed to do it Apr 05 19:06:56 smhar: It's like "should I get a core-2 laptop, or should I wait for quantum computers" Apr 05 19:07:01 I just set up a lisp IDE yesterday Apr 05 19:07:02 docscrutinizer, most people I know are thinking it this way; If I buy an N900 within the coming 6 months I am afraid a meego device will be release then and all the work from Nokia, and eventually the community will shift to it. since nobody -almost- want to support a dead end device Apr 05 19:07:20 DocScrutinizer: the eternal question in computing. they were joking about that 20 years ago in public TV. Apr 05 19:07:22 do we need to restart the n900 or is easy debian launchable as an os image ? Apr 05 19:07:30 jacquesdupontd: reboot Apr 05 19:07:54 jacquesdupontd: or uh Apr 05 19:08:05 I mean, after install reboot once Apr 05 19:08:18 but no need to reboot again just to run programs Apr 05 19:08:22 smhar: N900 no way will be 'dead end' when N900+1 appears. The next device actually is considered inferior to N900 by almost all N900 owners Apr 05 19:08:24 from what i had read here and there ubuntu was installable on the n900 that means we can also go thrue this way to instal oOO ? Apr 05 19:08:29 right joga ? Apr 05 19:08:55 jacquesdupontd: I guess, but easydebian is really simple to use Apr 05 19:08:59 docscrutinizer, how can they tell if it is not released yet?! Apr 05 19:09:27 joga that's what i was thinking when you proposed it to me Apr 05 19:09:34 smhar: they have heard stuff about capacicraptastic screen Apr 05 19:09:36 he just rebooted but nothing appeared Apr 05 19:09:38 smhar: there are some details which are considered fix for next device, like capacitive touchscreen and no hw-kbd Apr 05 19:09:56 joga he should have a grub style thing with the choice of the os isn't it ? Apr 05 19:09:57 jacquesdupontd: one tip: extracting the image takes a long time and makes the phone quite unusable while doing it (ie. unresponsive). but just wait patiently Apr 05 19:10:10 DocScrutinizer: i wont miss the next device if there is now hw-kbd. Apr 05 19:10:18 lol no hw-keyboard, that one really is killer Apr 05 19:10:28 jacquesdupontd: tell him to start deb img install, then wait for around 50minutes Apr 05 19:10:32 then reboot Apr 05 19:10:53 for me at least. "let's go back to tapping onto a glossy surface to write stuff" Apr 05 19:11:03 joga from the maemo os now he launch easy debian and it will extract it for 1 time or everytime ? Apr 05 19:11:12 jacquesdupontd: once only Apr 05 19:12:00 anyway, /me away. smething with my laptop&vacuum ventilation starts to smell scorched Apr 05 19:12:12 joga in fact what he downloaded from the repo only seems to be shortcut for easy debian once the image downloaded and extracted Apr 05 19:12:26 jacquesdupontd: yeah Apr 05 19:12:38 is it possible to use the virtual keyboard and harware keyboard the same time? Apr 05 19:12:38 joga if that's the case i will do it for him later cause he has to go but thx a lot for your help :) Apr 05 19:12:47 or, well, it's some script to get the image first Apr 05 19:13:15 ok :) I'm currently in an escalator heh Apr 05 19:13:37 Hi, all ... I want to work on Pocket Jeeves project and make a proposal to GSOC ... I want to ask a few questions about it :) Apr 05 19:14:23 another question, if you do a ctrl+backspace to get all the task windows, can they be selected using the hw-keyb rather than by tapping the screen? Apr 05 19:14:29 Raafat___, are these the sort of questions that some sort of handheld intelligent search engine could answer? Apr 05 19:16:38 ok.. one question... from what I read and saw.. it seems that the address book, and search facility in N900 are lacking a lot of what I want, which is available in an old 9300i communicator that I owned. how difficult it is to 'improve' this and integrate it back with the system? Apr 05 19:17:14 http://www.nationmaster.com/red/graph/lif_wil_fig_for_cou-lifestyle-will-fight-for-country&int=-1 Apr 05 19:17:21 hehe Apr 05 19:17:29 ohai Apr 05 19:17:36 so how many kittehs been killed today? Apr 05 19:18:39 YESS!!! Ubuntu lucid finally bootstraps on my N900 without any issues :D Apr 05 19:19:02 smhar: addressbook is closed source on maemo5 Apr 05 19:19:03 what is ubuntu lucid? Apr 05 19:19:06 now to get cracking on getting it to boot :) Apr 05 19:19:10 what do you guys use to stream (ok, file-on-demand aka DLNA) video to N900? Apr 05 19:19:15 Ubuntu 10.04 Apr 05 19:19:30 ah Apr 05 19:19:31 @ grishnav Apr 05 19:19:38 and it boots on the n900? Apr 05 19:19:39 nice Apr 05 19:19:51 it's Cortex-A8 optimized :) Apr 05 19:19:58 not yet Apr 05 19:20:02 trumee, so it is impossible? to have an improved addressed book in N900? Apr 05 19:20:06 but it will ;) Apr 05 19:20:20 thresh: i am using knots which is not upnp, but rather on the fly transcoder based on vlc. Apr 05 19:20:37 i just finally got openvpn running on my n900 Apr 05 19:20:39 it's quite nice Apr 05 19:20:40 'based on vlc' is fine for me Apr 05 19:20:58 smhar: it is my gripe as well. but since it is closed source we are all relying on nokia devs. Apr 05 19:21:13 oh god, theora. Apr 05 19:21:20 (Cortes-A8 optimized meaning you can't run Ubuntu 10.04 on previous tablets unfortunately) Apr 05 19:21:25 thresh: you can get more support in #knots, but it has worked very well for me. Apr 05 19:21:32 *Cortex-A8 Apr 05 19:21:56 @ grishnav Apr 05 19:22:01 trumee: thanks! i think i'll try it. Apr 05 19:22:14 trumee, what about an improved replacement? Apr 05 19:22:52 smhar: dont know if anybody is developing a replacement. Apr 05 19:23:31 i can understand why Conversations is closed source, but why the hell is addressbook closed! Apr 05 19:23:41 trumee, but is it possible? to have a replacement that will just 'plug in' the system and integrate with the rest? Apr 05 19:24:05 trumee: (taskswitcher) no kbd select. I ranted about that quite some times Apr 05 19:25:00 smhar: no idea. it will be pointless if the replacement cannot interact with other applications seamlessly. Apr 05 19:25:32 DocScrutinizer-8: that is a bummer. Apr 05 19:25:41 (addrbook) the backend has an API. the frontend (dialer, contacts) is closed and hard to augment Apr 05 19:26:17 trumee, the api is open and documented, right? so, for a good programmer, it should be an easy trip.. Apr 05 19:26:39 trumee, I wish I was a good programmer, or any programmer at all :-) Apr 05 19:26:57 smhar: no idea, DocScrutinizer-8 seems to know more. Apr 05 19:30:05 DocScrutinizer-8, so using the backend API, one can develop another front end -a new contacts, maybe using the same dialer- and integrate it in the system. am I right on assumption? Apr 05 19:32:39 probably you could, though integration is difficult as the bits where you want to integrate the new features are closed source as well (e.g what's the use of better search or groups or anything in contacts, if you can't fully integrate that to dialer) Apr 05 19:33:54 ~flashing Apr 05 19:33:55 it has been said that flashing is http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_tablet_firmware Apr 05 19:34:13 I'm editing the eMMC section, returning it to how it was Apr 05 19:34:21 DocScrutinizer-8, can't you just get the final number from the 'new' search and just 'pass it' to the dialer? Apr 05 19:34:25 I'm not sure who added the When flashing the eMMC content, always flash the FIASCO/Rootfs image first, then the eMMC. Do not boot up the device between the two! Apr 05 19:34:45 it's eMMC then FIASCO image... Apr 05 19:34:57 smhar: that's actually easy Apr 05 19:35:25 oh for the love of... Apr 05 19:35:35 it says don't reboot and has the command as flasher-3.5.exe -F RX-51_2009SE_1.2009.41-1.VANILLA_PR_EMMC_MR0_ARM.bin -f -R Apr 05 19:35:41 the -R reboots! Apr 05 19:36:25 MohammadAG: yup, i went through the same instructions a while ago. they suck. Apr 05 19:36:36 yup Apr 05 19:37:15 DocScrutinizer-8, so what is the problem? just let the new programs do all the work and when you find the contact you want to call from new search or the new group, just pass the phone number to Nokia's dialer to do the actual dialing Apr 05 19:37:27 trumee, fixed, I think, can you check if they're clear now? Apr 05 19:37:34 DocScrutinizer-8, until someone replaces that as well :-) Apr 05 19:38:54 MohammadAG: The second time it says plug usb, it doesnt mention before of removing the cable. Apr 05 19:38:55 smhar: it's not impossible. you'll just face all sorts of rough edges where you have to compromise Apr 05 19:39:44 MohammadAG: "Plug the USB cable into the N900", but the cable is already plugged in. Apr 05 19:39:58 DocScrutinizer-8, is it also possible to 'replace' the dialer? Apr 05 19:40:43 trumee, oh fixing Apr 05 19:41:15 smhar: even more complicated (to interface all the telepathy and modem control bits) but yes, it should be possible Apr 05 19:42:00 smhar: you think the dialer needs improvement? Apr 05 19:42:29 trumee, no.. just need to be open :-) Apr 05 19:42:35 Hi, all . I want to start working on Pocket Jeeves project for GSOC, I started reading tutorials for how to use SPHINX system , do you know what prerequisite should I have before starting this project ? Apr 05 19:42:37 you bet it does Apr 05 19:43:22 do any nokia devs participate here? Apr 05 19:43:26 dialer is really limited, bot in functionality UI wise, and API for devels Apr 05 19:44:30 try to teach it to play contact specific ringtones and you'll see Apr 05 19:45:03 trumee, updated again, did some major changes, can you check now? Apr 05 19:46:20 MohammadAG: yup, clear now. thanks Apr 05 19:46:26 if nokia has all the community ready to improve the system, in addition to its own developers, why in heaven would they release a 'very basic and limited' software, and then close it so no body can improve it? that is just crazy Apr 05 19:47:25 DocScrutinizer-8, many 'basic' mobile can do the contact specific ringtones !! even from Nokia Apr 05 19:49:03 zgold: ;) Apr 05 19:51:04 that's weird. There are no manpages on the N900, but you can install help2man, a manpage generator. Apr 05 19:51:35 smhar: I've been discussing this a lot and Kate from nokia came up with a trail I could follow Apr 05 19:51:46 nedko: hi! Apr 05 19:52:17 ptl_demands_PR12, which is Apr 05 19:53:47 smhar, the basic mobiles are running an OS that's been in development as a PHONE OS for years Apr 05 19:54:34 smhar: it's in the maemo-developers mailing list, I'll paste into pastebin and show you Apr 05 19:56:41 smhar: http://pastebin.com/7H89kzd0 Apr 05 19:59:23 Blasted flash on the N900 is no better then on the previous devices :( a 2.5hour MPEG video through media player - barely a change in battery... an hour of sitting on a web page nearly completely drains the battery :( Apr 05 19:59:32 http://www.nydailynews.com/news/ny_crime/2010/04/05/2010-04-05_nypd_arrests_dozens_after_easter_night_gang_mayhem_in_times_square_herald_square.html Apr 05 19:59:58 ds3: you expected it to behave differently? Apr 05 20:00:07 ptl_demands_PR12, smhar - theres a tmo thread about custom ringtones and speaking the name of the caller Apr 05 20:00:22 RST38h: yes, I expected someone to make flash usable if they are to put it on a battery device! Apr 05 20:00:23 one suggestion was when using the new methods, simply set the core ringtone to a silent mp3 Apr 05 20:00:35 then whatever replacements come in go over the top Apr 05 20:00:51 ds3: then adobe is the one who have to do that Apr 05 20:01:55 E0x: IMO, as it stands, flash should be banned as brown technology @!$#@!$@#$#@!$! Apr 05 20:04:11 true , i prefer html5 win Apr 05 20:04:21 but that is not the case right now Apr 05 20:04:47 and if we all need/want better flash we just need hope adobe do something Apr 05 20:04:50 I don't really care for which one... I just want it to not drain the battery..this is madness Apr 05 20:05:17 then stop saw flash content Apr 05 20:05:22 if you are going to legistate about all those crap and force crappy charging systems on us (i.e. the microusb thingie)...then prehaps flash should be banned entirely. Apr 05 20:05:38 lcuk: Yes, I use espeakcaller, but its technique is easy enough - just play a sound (the speech) when a certain number calls. The most difficult part from the developer was correctly configuring the pulseaudio group, I think, but nevertheless, this is quite different from the custom ringtone stuff because we should have to prevent it from playing and also control ring stop, interruption and such. Apr 05 20:06:13 * lcuk nods Apr 05 20:06:31 so essentially a fully fledged replacement callui frontend Apr 05 20:06:34 in qt Apr 05 20:06:55 does anyone know how much maemo there will be in meego? it will be rpm based. right? will the gui be Qt based? Apr 05 20:07:09 There will be qt Apr 05 20:07:30 I didn't understand that from Kate's message Apr 05 20:07:56 lcuk: this 'solution' rolls up my toes Apr 05 20:08:04 im taking what you say - i thought you were on about a very limited subset Apr 05 20:08:34 DocScrutinizer-8, sure, same here - but it was one possibility without too much refactoring and mucking about Apr 05 20:08:49 obviously needs more discussion :) Apr 05 20:08:50 Goliath23, in a sense, the MeeGo API == QT Apr 05 20:09:13 but the gui will have a totally different look (i.e. the qt4.6 hildon widgets will be deprecated?) Apr 05 20:09:34 Like, it looks as if Nokia is going to rename Maemo6 into MeeGo, because Maemo6 will have same qt as MeeGo :P Apr 05 20:09:38 ShadowJK: would be cool if it would be that way Apr 05 20:09:39 ShadowJK, does the meego day1 have any qt in it all? Apr 05 20:09:47 lcuk, dunno Apr 05 20:09:58 it's probably there but nothing uses it Apr 05 20:10:02 I heard there was no GUI at all :) Apr 05 20:11:11 hopefully the api is greater than the sum of the visual parts Apr 05 20:11:15 will MADDE be reused? i really like it. in combination with qtcreator its a cool DE Apr 05 20:12:10 tried it today and it worked great.. Apr 05 20:23:31
