Apr 15 08:05:47 NuD1t7, if you haven't fiddled with anything, sounds like you might have cause for alarm. Apr 15 08:05:48 cityLights: that is probably due to a connection error with the software repository. try again later Apr 15 08:05:58 heh Apr 15 08:06:36 I am SOOOOO glad that the N900 can bring itself out of sleep/power off to sound the alarm. Apr 15 08:06:58 However, the one morning, Saturday morning, it woke me up early because I just turned off the phone thinking that the alarm wouldn't sound. ;/ Apr 15 08:07:03 was pr 1.2 released yet? its been more then a month since sevral bug where marked fix , and wherent published to the common welth Apr 15 08:07:09 walth Apr 15 08:07:17 wealth.

Apr 15 08:42:43 yep ... but i mean ... this isn't something release Apr 15 08:42:53 just a thing for demo purpose Apr 15 08:42:55 achipa: we have ncurses? Apr 15 08:42:56 :P Apr 15 08:43:07 Khertan_Home: No, that is just the meego netbook release? Apr 15 08:43:19 ah ... Apr 15 08:43:24 is there a clinet like ebuddy for the phone i remeber it started with p? Apr 15 08:44:12 so i should try it on my netbook :) Apr 15 08:44:29 But 1.0 will be release in May. Apr 15 08:44:39 thx X-Fade Apr 15 08:44:58 X-Fade, yep ... but try :) not something for daily use Apr 15 08:45:58 paul_____: pidgin Apr 15 08:46:41 ty ptl Apr 15 08:48:00 no good don't suport facebook chat :( Apr 15 08:57:00 What paul was thinking of might be Palringo. Apr 15 08:58:46 bloody hell Apr 15 08:58:51 and they say our world isn't connected Apr 15 09:00:04 My gf, who lives in France, was supposed to go back to work today (in London). I told her I didn't want her to go. Now she's pissed at me, because some volcano in Iceland has disrupted air travel throughout Europe... and somehow it's my fault? Apr 15 09:00:18 (I am in Australia) Apr 15 09:00:45 ... volcano in iceland disrupted air travel ? wtf ? Apr 15 09:00:48 ouch was just looking at moblin ... there is so few supported netbook Apr 15 09:01:07 bilboed-pi, ash in the atmosphere Apr 15 09:01:15 ah right, just found the newsreport Apr 15 09:01:16 bilboed-pi: ash in atmosphere =very very bad for planes Apr 15 09:01:17 :P Apr 15 09:01:43 can I somehow change the priority of my jabber-resource? Apr 15 09:01:57 Sandblasting the engine blades. Nice ;) Apr 15 09:02:38 the jabber-client in maemo is really ... let's call it ... it has a lot of potential! Apr 15 09:03:30 bilboed-pi: dust cloud Apr 15 09:03:53 X-Fade: did you see those pictures of helicopters landing in iraq? Apr 15 09:03:53 s/dust/ash/, but yes Apr 15 09:03:56 damn... Apr 15 09:04:25 X-Fade: where the dust in the air was sandblasting the blades and creating sparks -- actually eating away at the blades? Apr 15 09:05:36 crashanddie: I've seen those pictures yes. Apr 15 09:06:25 Hmm. Anyone with the mugen battery - can you comment on if there is free space in the back? Apr 15 09:07:13 for anyone else who hasn't seen the pictures, damned cool: http://www.michaelyon-online.com/the-kopp-etchells-effect.htm Apr 15 09:07:34 crashanddie: Just wanted to link you those ;) Apr 15 09:07:52 crashanddie: Titanium plates on the blades ;) Apr 15 09:08:47 X-Fade: could you comment on the meego security thread? Apr 15 09:09:05 No, I can't comment on that list. Apr 15 09:09:16 oh really? Apr 15 09:09:26 like, from a contract perspective? Apr 15 09:09:26 My host is blocked there :) Apr 15 09:09:31 aww Apr 15 09:09:37 just create a bloody gmail account Apr 15 09:10:08 Perhaps, it is just a pain. Apr 15 09:10:35 X-Fade: http://lists.meego.com/pipermail/meego-dev/2010-April/001587.html Apr 15 09:10:45 X-Fade: I was asking you questions, not realising you didn't read it Apr 15 09:13:33 I did skim it, but meego is not my highest priority as I'm really not involved in it. Apr 15 09:16:04 crashanddie: But basically every service run in separate db, separate user, separate machine. Apr 15 09:16:13 *runs Apr 15 09:16:28 perfect, exactly what I wanted to hear Apr 15 09:16:45 I didn't like the fact the guy talked about Apache and wanted to draw comparisons with MeeGo/Maemo Apr 15 09:16:55 ISP manages the basic platform security updates. Apr 15 09:16:58 because Apache have been known and laughed at for doing everything on each of their machines Apr 15 09:17:31 We have seperated everything out. Apr 15 09:17:52 That is why we even went to drop.maemo.org for ssh access (dput and git+ssh) Apr 15 09:17:53 Each machine will have public SSH, /etc/passwd shared with 20 web apps, and absolutely no segregation Apr 15 09:18:16 And then people are surprised that by compromising one web app, everything is clusterfucked Apr 15 09:18:19 We don't have outside ssh access to web facing services. Apr 15 09:18:34 X-Fade: ok, thanks, do you mind if I relay that information to the ML? Apr 15 09:18:40 Other than the drop vm. Apr 15 09:19:22 Services run in DMZ with firewall and loadbalancers in front of it. Apr 15 09:19:23 X-Fade: do I have any chance if I ask you to throw a stupid visio diagram that shows all the things? Not urgent, at all, just on the back of your to-do list? Apr 15 09:19:47 Is Maemo related too :-* Apr 15 09:20:12 Well, yes and no. Apr 15 09:20:36 I don't see public community access to the servers happen. Apr 15 09:20:46 never asked for that Apr 15 09:20:49 So in the end it is a nice to know, but what can one do with that info. Apr 15 09:21:04 keep trolls from screaming "WE NEED SECURITY" Apr 15 09:21:31 I'm very good at ignoring trolls ;) Apr 15 09:21:46 Khertan (~khertan@AAmiens-155-1-32-240.w92-142.abo.wanadoo.fr) a rejoint #maemo < oups ! where is this machine ! Apr 15 09:21:50 I know you are, you've been doing a great job at ignoring me at the summit :P Apr 15 09:22:06 lol, what did I do there :) Apr 15 09:23:30 I offered to buy you a beer 3 times over 3 days, and 3 times you said "Yeah sure, give me a few minutes" Apr 15 09:24:41 here's a news line you dont see every day Apr 15 09:24:44 Hence the company study, in which 16 Dorset sheep weighing from 26 to 78 kg were given various doses of methamphetamine (four unlucky control animals got none at all) and were then repeatedly zapped with a Taser X26 "compliance device". Apr 15 09:24:58 does that happen to you often, crashanddie ? Apr 15 09:25:03 morning all Apr 15 09:25:47 pupnik: not really, that's why I remember it! Apr 15 09:25:52 crashanddie: I remember sitting in the same bar, opposite to you. Apr 15 09:25:53 moin lardman Apr 15 09:26:10 X-Fade: eh? Apr 15 09:26:18 X-Fade: nha, we never got together Apr 15 09:26:29 crashanddie: hotel lobby bar? Apr 15 09:26:43 oh Apr 15 09:26:45 maybe Apr 15 09:26:58 but then I was inhibriated, so that doesn't count Apr 15 09:27:22 X-Fade: I wasn't at the same hotel as you though Apr 15 09:28:21 Or I was. Don't know. Apr 15 09:28:51 I'm not known to ignore beer offers :) Apr 15 09:30:06 X-Fade: so how come I'm not on the front page anymore? Did I not offer enough beer...? ;) Apr 15 09:30:19 lardman: That effect wears off. Apr 15 09:30:26 lol Apr 15 09:30:32 lardman: You need to continue to offer beer :) Apr 15 09:30:56 of course, next meetup, no worries :) Apr 15 09:31:38 * lardman thinks to himself that if it's in Amsterdam again he'll need to sell a kidney to afford X-Fade's beer too ;) Apr 15 09:32:13 The London rumours are growing :) Apr 15 09:32:20 So can't be that bad. Apr 15 09:32:26 London rumours? Apr 15 09:32:31 As in, next summit in London? Apr 15 09:32:47 wasnt that some forum nokia shebangthingy? Apr 15 09:32:48 A LF preffered location it seems. Apr 15 09:32:58 LF? Apr 15 09:33:01 Linux Foundation Apr 15 09:33:01 do i have to click on each update in turn in app manager? can i just use apt-get instead? Apr 15 09:33:03 linux foundation Apr 15 09:33:04 ah Apr 15 09:33:12 wow, that was bad spelling ;) Apr 15 09:33:14 BCMM: click on the menu, there's an update all Apr 15 09:33:16 BCMM: you can. Apr 15 09:33:27 LF? Apr 15 09:33:32 Linux Foundation Apr 15 09:33:51 infobot: LF stands for Linux Foundation Apr 15 09:33:52 stands for Linux Foundation: don't you know we're supposed to be luserfriendly? Apr 15 09:34:05 thanks, both of those are useful Apr 15 09:34:06 stupid bot Apr 15 09:34:22 infobot: LF is Linux Foundation Apr 15 09:34:23 is Linux Foundation: don't you know we're supposed to be luserfriendly?

Apr 15 09:36:05 crashanddie: perfect excuse to move back ;) Apr 15 09:36:15 i hate london Apr 15 09:36:15 crashanddie: I'm ok with AU too. Apr 15 09:36:24 yeah AU would be nice Apr 15 09:36:31 i'm there at least twice a month and ussualy by car Apr 15 09:36:45 au is far away Apr 15 09:36:46 too far to travel guys Apr 15 09:36:56 and they walk upside down Apr 15 09:36:58 jacekowski: hmm, I try to avoid driving cars in London these days Apr 15 09:36:59 25h on a plane? $2k to fly back and forth? Apr 15 09:37:14 crashanddie: sponsorship! Apr 15 09:37:19 crashanddie: and you risk that you might fell of the earth Apr 15 09:37:30 crashanddie: because of being upside down Apr 15 09:37:39 jacekowski: that joke was funny 25 years ago, the first time it was told Apr 15 09:37:57 that was mean Apr 15 09:38:04 some jokes get better, the more often you hear them! Apr 15 09:38:20 is there a drama club nearby? perhaps another outlet would do crashanddie good Apr 15 09:38:40 pupnik: did I do something to you lately? Apr 15 09:38:51 pupnik: ah, leave him alone, he's far away from us all and missing us Apr 15 09:38:56 ;) Apr 15 09:38:58 YESH! Apr 15 09:39:01 I mish you all :( Apr 15 09:39:09 : Apr 15 09:39:11 ) Apr 15 09:39:17 I mean, it's like nearly 8PM here, and only morning for most of you :*( Apr 15 09:39:24 have a good day all Apr 15 09:39:42 they do emu racing in australia Apr 15 09:39:53 and you need kangaroo driving license if you plan to go onto main roads Apr 15 09:39:59 http://apina.biz/28509 Apr 15 09:40:14 and it's british prison colony Apr 15 09:40:18 jacekowski: seriously, it's not funny Apr 15 09:40:39 crashanddie: it was funny enough to hear Qole on the Summit wish good night to his family just as he woke u :D Apr 15 09:40:47 u=up Apr 15 09:41:04 achipa: may be funny, trust me, it gets a whole less funny when you have to do it every day for 4 months Apr 15 09:41:31 achipa: or you have to wake up at 4AM so that your boss can call you Apr 15 09:41:41 achipa: or you have to stay up until 2AM for a conf call Apr 15 09:41:45 i go to sleep at 3AM Apr 15 09:41:56 and wake up at 7:40AM Apr 15 09:41:59 jacekowski: yeah but you're an unemployed bum who lives in his mother's basement Apr 15 09:42:03 you live off pizza and coke Apr 15 09:42:07 crashanddie: no Apr 15 09:42:12 i'm at work at the moment Apr 15 09:42:12 crashanddie: I still have a 'good [insert your time of the day]' script for a good buddy of mine who lives in NZ :) Apr 15 09:42:45 achipa: the day I greet my family over IRC is the day I know I have lost the very few surviving sparks of sanity Apr 15 09:42:57 The thing with versions is, I don't like to touch the packaging itself. Apr 15 09:43:15 how do you open your food then? Apr 15 09:43:17 Hmm that was for Jaffa ;) Apr 15 09:43:18 no packaging? Apr 15 09:43:24 crashanddie: at least you still have them - that's a start ! :D Apr 15 09:44:11 achipa: I call lardman a friend, infobot tells me that means my sparks aren't that sparky anymore. Apr 15 09:44:24 X-Fade: btw, how do you feel about the extras-experimental thing ? am about to write a mail but would like to hear some opinions beforehand Apr 15 09:44:49 What purpose would it serve? Apr 15 09:45:06 crashanddie: hey, brown dwarfs might not be flaming and sparky, but they are still stars :) Apr 15 09:45:24 achipa: hahaha, excellent quote Apr 15 09:45:57 X-Fade: errm, sever extras from new PR/SDK release date mismatch problems ? Apr 15 09:46:25 achipa: ? Apr 15 09:47:48 X-Fade: the notion that we should have an isolated extras-experimental with the newest SDK, whichever/whatever version it is, and that would become extras-devel when Nokia hits the 'bombs away' button Apr 15 09:48:36 so we can still play around with new stuff as it will be on release, but not endanger people working for current PRs Apr 15 09:49:13 achipa: I don't think the plan is ever to have a PR stuck in devel for so long Apr 15 09:49:45 achipa: Won't versioned extras-devel be easier then? Apr 15 09:50:00 achipa: to be honest, what needs to happen is exactly what happened now: new PR version is submitted to devel, and everyone works like mad to port/rebuild their app with the new PR Apr 15 09:50:07 well, it would be nice to have SDK avaliable some time before release for users Apr 15 09:50:07 crashanddie: I'm aware of that, but I don't see what insurance we have we won't run into the same thing with PR1.3+, harmattan, etc Apr 15 09:50:33 but without breaking anything Apr 15 09:51:30 Well our proposed plan fixes on thing in that: Not generating dependencies higher than is needed by the app. Apr 15 09:51:31 X-Fade: terminology, doesn't matter if we call it extras-devel1.2, extras-experimental or extras-head, the bottom line is to have both latest stable and devel available Apr 15 09:52:12 One idea is to move away from AM altoghether. Apr 15 09:52:15 achipa: can we call it extra-headache? Apr 15 09:52:27 have our own appdownloader application. Apr 15 09:52:32 crashanddie: that's an option, otoo :) Apr 15 09:52:41 Which is aware of what versions you are runnning and doesn't even notice the mess. Apr 15 09:53:21 the problem is that we have non backwards compatible stuff that *will* burn people... Apr 15 09:54:02 and we have this problem of people treating dependencies very liberally Apr 15 09:54:17 achipa: But with syumbol versioning it *will* be something they can't use, because their OS doesn't support it. Combined with a separate repo for Extras (proper), it's only people using extras-devel/-testing which could get burned. Apr 15 09:54:24 achipa: dependencies are now generated based on actual symbols used. Apr 15 09:54:32 hey guys. I have a problem Apr 15 09:54:53 and how will that work with pygtk, pyside and pyqt apps ? Apr 15 09:54:53 I can't seem to get the n900 to let me unmount the MyDocs partition Apr 15 09:55:00 And AM will tell you that you need to upgrade your OS from PR1.2 on, IIRC. Apr 15 09:55:37 I already see people just throwing in blanket 'python-qt4-gui' dependencies. That sort of works now, but certainly is not good on the long run Apr 15 09:56:15 achipa: I am really thinking of throwing qt4-maemo5 out. Apr 15 09:56:22 They reall created a mess there. Apr 15 09:56:26 achipa: So, you're worried that people using soft-coded libraries which don't enforce compile-time dependencies will be installable, but won't work. Apr 15 09:57:02 Having 2 parallel Qt version is just a pain. Apr 15 09:57:08 Jaffa: yes, or, will not upgrade properly (=break on upgrade) Apr 15 09:57:10 achipa: First pass there is to improve the documentation on what people *should* do (i.e. "if you want to deploy on PR1.1, use: Depends: .... (>= ...)" for the various Py* projects Apr 15 09:57:40 X-Fade: oh the # of times I told this on the qt-maemo list... Apr 15 09:57:43 * achipa sighs Apr 15 09:58:01 achipa: We as a community need to take a stand then? Apr 15 09:58:15 achipa: And chiming in earlier on the "how to solve PR1.2" supporting the "multiple repos" idea probably would've been good :-) Apr 15 09:58:22 achipa: Propose it on -devel and get it going. Apr 15 09:59:45 X-Fade: the biggest problem is that the thing already has plenty inertia, will have to have a proposal with proper alternatives or it'll get ignored (with sad nodding and all)... Apr 15 10:00:01 We have quite some apps depending on qt4-maemo5, which are basically useless. Apr 15 10:00:27 ;/ Apr 15 10:00:27 Jaffa: yes, well, it's a solution with drawbacks, too, it hasn't dawned on mee soon enough that there will be no really good/painless solution Apr 15 10:01:10 No-one knows why it won't allow dismount of the storage volume? Apr 15 10:01:50 I feel we need to see the Qt and PR1.2 issues separately. Apr 15 10:02:24 pr1.2 (with regard to qt) should have really been called maemo 5.1, 'cause that's what it is Apr 15 10:02:26 korhojoa, something using it ... tracker maybe Apr 15 10:02:46 what tracker? Apr 15 10:02:49 but I agree the qt problem is separate Apr 15 10:03:02 korhojoa, media tracker Apr 15 10:03:10 and we will see it again in the future (see the recycling of libqt4-maemo5 for Qt4.7) Apr 15 10:03:13 damn you, media tracker Apr 15 10:03:17 it can't be using it all the damn time Apr 15 10:03:35 don't know ... look at which file is open on the partition Apr 15 10:03:43 how? :D Apr 15 10:03:50 I've been trying to figure that out for a while Apr 15 10:03:53 fuser -m /home/user/MyDocs Apr 15 10:04:07 why do you want to unmount? Apr 15 10:04:11 nothing, apparently Apr 15 10:04:17 I'd like to use it in mass storage mode Apr 15 10:04:25 just plug it in Apr 15 10:04:30 and it automatically does it Apr 15 10:04:33 wow, thanks. never tried that. Apr 15 10:04:40 I've been trying for two hours Apr 15 10:04:49 it just keeps saying that the volume is busy Apr 15 10:04:54 hmm Apr 15 10:04:57 korhojoa: reboot ? Apr 15 10:04:57 sorry. "resource is in use" Apr 15 10:05:05 achipa: tried that too Apr 15 10:05:14 that's about the first thing i try when something doesn't work Apr 15 10:05:23 korhojoa: do you have fuser ? Apr 15 10:05:46 korhojoa, lsof /media/usbdisk/ Apr 15 10:05:58 korhojoa, lsof /home/user/MyDocs/ Apr 15 10:06:01 achipa: well, it's in the built-in busybox Apr 15 10:06:12 Khertan_Home: also nothing Apr 15 10:06:26 strange Apr 15 10:06:30 reboot :) Apr 15 10:06:36 easier solution i think Apr 15 10:06:45 like i said, i've tried it, multiple times Apr 15 10:06:51 i'll try it again though. shutting down now Apr 15 10:06:59 aaaand booting. Apr 15 10:07:04 with usb cable connected before start ? Apr 15 10:07:18 this time, yes Apr 15 10:07:41 Khertan_Home: t'as trouve un padawan? Apr 15 10:07:51 wow. now it's there. phone doesn't show anything though Apr 15 10:08:01 does this mean that it's in some kind of mass-storage only mode? Apr 15 10:08:05 crashanddie, gni ? Apr 15 10:09:22 X-Fade, Jaffa: it would be good to have feedback if the ONLY reason for libqt4-maemo5 is to have it installed in parallel with the 'stable' one Apr 15 10:11:27 Khertan_Home: hmm, Google translate has issues, what is a pany...? Had to translate French->German Apr 15 10:11:58 'pany' is a French word? Apr 15 10:12:04 nope Apr 15 10:12:09 nah gni Apr 15 10:12:24 pany is apparently the English translation for that Apr 15 10:12:39 lardman: "gnié" is the same as the canadian "eh?" Apr 15 10:12:42 it's not a German word either... Apr 15 10:13:08 Google translated it into a German word I understood though Apr 15 10:13:16 eh Apr 15 10:13:57 but it looks like it's wrong in all cases, unless the Germans say "Gesellschaft?" rather than "eh?" Apr 15 10:14:16 esundheit. Apr 15 10:14:21 *Gesundheit. Apr 15 10:14:25 .oO ( Damn ) Apr 15 10:14:31 lardman: ja, aber ihr deutsh ist krumm :P Apr 15 10:15:02 achipa: Parallel install can be a good thing, but developers seem to believe that that is the one to use. Apr 15 10:15:02 gleichfalls! Apr 15 10:15:19 aber sie haen ein schonen akzent wenn sie deutsch sprecht Apr 15 10:15:26 heh, mein Deutsch ist Tarzan Deutsch (at best :P ) Apr 15 10:15:32 s/haen/haben/ Apr 15 10:15:33 crashanddie meant: aber sie haben ein schonen akzent wenn sie deutsch sprecht Apr 15 10:16:18 X-Fade: what I'm saying there might be less painful and disruptive ways to go about that :) Apr 15 10:16:24 crashanddie: you can say du to me Apr 15 10:16:30 I can? Apr 15 10:16:38 you have permission Apr 15 10:16:40 ah Apr 15 10:16:52 Ich verstehe nichts Apr 15 10:16:52 . Aber ich sprach Deutsch in der Vergangenheit Apr 15 10:17:26 Khertan_Home: not sure anyone really understands crashanddie ;) Apr 15 10:18:04 now nobody understands YOU! Apr 15 10:18:06 HAHAHAHAHA Apr 15 10:18:17 why the fuck? :P Apr 15 10:18:44 what's with all these op-ups? is there any threat to the channel? Apr 15 10:18:45 :P Apr 15 10:19:03 Stskeeps: waiting for mohammad to write the guidelines Apr 15 10:19:08 Yes, the threat of freedom of speech. Apr 15 10:19:10 anyway, crashanddie stop tarting around, apologies to everyone for the random language changes, and I'm going back to work Apr 15 10:19:18 have fun Apr 15 10:19:27 Khertan_Home: dis lui que toi tu me comprends quand je parle... Apr 15 10:20:09 TigerTael: don't talk about inside jokes you can't possibly have knowledge of :) Apr 15 10:20:26 X-Fade: and especially since the libqt4-maemo5 is a dev branch, it makes little sense, it constantly breaks everything downstream Apr 15 10:20:33 lardman: bah je le comprends moi :) Apr 15 10:20:54 haha Apr 15 10:20:58 very helpful, thanks Apr 15 10:21:19 X-Fade: I'm inclined to say even having the next qt statically linked would be a better solution :S that way at least you would not have scheduled breakage of stuff in extras, and would have a remote chance of entering extras Apr 15 10:21:25 lol Apr 15 10:21:25 ~curse VirtualBox Apr 15 10:21:27 May you be reincarnated as a Windows XP administrator, VirtualBox ! Apr 15 10:21:37 love how my vboxnetdrv has randomly uninstalled itself Apr 15 10:21:41 breakage of stuff in extras-devel... duh Apr 15 10:21:46 Stskeeps: nice proposal Apr 15 10:22:14 achipa: I think we should just continue to block qt4-maemo5. It is just not for end-users. Apr 15 10:22:29 achipa: And now there is talk of putting 4.7 under qt4-maemo5. Apr 15 10:22:34 X-Fade: what I'm saying it's not even for developers :D Apr 15 10:22:45 achipa: yeah, indeed. Apr 15 10:24:03 X-Fade: qt4.7 is a moving target, like 4.6 was, probably even more in the beginning. I don't have any 4.6 apps as they were breaking it all to often. It was just frustrating. Apr 15 10:24:36 there is/was no chance of putting anything in extras-devel, have it working and hope it would work just the same a month later Apr 15 10:24:55 achipa: Well the libqt4 version in PR1.2 will at least be 'stable' for the PR1.2 lifetime ;) Apr 15 10:25:16 But really, I think pyside should only aim at libqt4. Apr 15 10:25:17 can i turn the phone off with /sbin/halt? or will that confuse things? Apr 15 10:26:00 X-Fade: I came to a similar conclusion, and that's exactly what I'm doing with PyQt :) Apr 15 10:26:40 Pyside, pyqt all sounds the same for me, sorry ;) Apr 15 10:27:24 X-Fade: pyqt is a kind of pyside that works (/me runs from angry pyside folks :D ) ) Apr 15 10:28:27 achipa: We actually experimented a bit with the indexed qt4 symbols. But for bindings that really doesn't help. Apr 15 10:29:08 there is a lot of aiming in front of targets and then missing them... which does not play out too well considering it's middleware and affects everything downstream-ish... Apr 15 10:29:37 * X-Fade waits for a stable api Apr 15 10:35:29 quick question, would unclocking your device void warranty? Apr 15 10:35:46 or undervolting Apr 15 10:36:57 if you stay in cpu specification i didn't see why it would Apr 15 10:37:10 well any non-stock kernel ( unless developer version from manufacturer ) is supposed to be "this craps on your warranty" Apr 15 10:37:21 really ? Apr 15 10:37:27 NuD1t7: overclock kernel probably does Apr 15 10:38:26 well the problem is that the warranty covers the device and softwrae as it is/was when delivered to client Apr 15 10:38:59 but i am not 100% sure Apr 15 10:39:07 nud1t7, so installing anything voids the warranty then?-) Apr 15 10:39:12 if you reflash it it's not like they can find out Apr 15 10:39:52 Using the FREMANTLE_ARMEL target, should I expect the maemo5 pri1.2 desktop to start on Xephyr? Apr 15 10:40:14 not the last time I used it Apr 15 10:40:46 it seems like qemu complains a lot, then segfaults Apr 15 10:42:43 X-Fade: will there ever BE a stable api on Fremantle ? :) :( Apr 15 10:43:33 achipa: Qt maintain source compatiblity on major version, and bin on sub version Apr 15 10:43:34 s Apr 15 10:45:31 achipa: I feel that things will be slowing down at least. Apr 15 10:46:21 asj: pink lines :) Is mostly true on desktops, not true at all on (new) platfoms... Apr 15 10:47:27 achipa: Qt+maemo is not Qt, what the maemo guys do...heaven only knows : Apr 15 10:47:31 :) Apr 15 10:47:40 X-Fade: the core maybe, but mobility and QML will give a spin to it somewhere down the line, I'm certain Apr 15 10:48:24 achipa: Yes, but that also has to get more stable at some point. Apr 15 10:49:44 asj: well, the official Qt pages/docs claim otherwise, which certainly doesn't help :) Apr 15 10:50:34 asj: or rather, it would be cool if that WAS the actual state and not the problem :) Apr 15 10:50:40 which part? :) Apr 15 10:51:56 asj: well, Qt for Maemo sits right beside all other platforms... kind of gives the impression that its not some downstream experiment :) Apr 15 10:52:08 achipa: ah :) Apr 15 10:52:31 asj: also, the docs claim QMaemo5 classes to be part of QtCore and QtGui, which is not quite the case :) Apr 15 10:52:33 I think that maybe more true now than it used to be Apr 15 10:54:22 asj: certainly, 4.6 will be a big step forward, it's just that there is a fair number of platform caveats about things people take as granted based on desktop Qt experience (like the aforementioned source/binary compatibility) Apr 15 10:55:20 achipa: mmm, but it kinda fits with the n900 which seems to be a bit of an experimental device anyways eh? Apr 15 10:55:40 * lardman|busy looks at Icelandic eruption and wonders if he'll be able to fly to Glasgow next week Apr 15 10:56:03 lardman|busy: Start thinking about the train ;) Apr 15 10:56:17 yeah, not a pleasant thought Apr 15 10:56:19 * asj is thinking about bed Apr 15 10:56:43 I hope the meeting is cancelled in that case, but we'll see Apr 15 10:57:07 Lot of travel/trouble for just a meeting ;) Apr 15 10:57:18 c'est la vie Apr 15 10:57:37 ah bah oui mon bon monsieur ! Apr 15 10:57:39 :) Apr 15 10:57:39 we're not into telemeetings in the engineering industry ;) Apr 15 10:58:03 in the telecom engineering industry ? :) Apr 15 10:58:11 mechanical engineering Apr 15 10:58:23 lardman|busy: No excuse :) Apr 15 10:58:59 I know, but still, face to face is the way it's done (and the few teleconferences I've done weren't overly productive) Apr 15 10:59:07 Teleconferencing the mechanical way, two cans and a really long string? Apr 15 10:59:35 avee_: lol, yes Apr 15 11:00:27 But by next week stuff will probably fly again, unless the thing decides to cough again. Apr 15 11:00:56 The are expecting to resume flights somewhere this evening. Apr 15 11:02:07 avee_: ah that's good news Apr 15 11:02:20 anything to avoid a train, though really a train might be better than EasyJet Apr 15 11:03:03 Ah well, i generally don't mind trains, but haven't tried any in the UK yet ;) Apr 15 11:03:41 avee_: ah, well that explains it Apr 15 11:03:43 ;) Apr 15 11:05:08 Yeah, they do have a certain image. For long stretches you really need high speed trains to compete with planes. Apr 15 11:05:37 so ~8h to Scotland isn't fast enough ;) Apr 15 11:05:57 actually it's probably more than that as I'd need to change a few times Apr 15 11:06:07 Nope, that should get you to New York, not Schotland. Apr 15 11:06:13 indeed Apr 15 11:06:37 and the funny thing is it would probably be cheaper to fly to NY too Apr 15 11:06:38 But once a train is going at 300km/h it becomes a nice way of traveling. Apr 15 11:06:53 avee_: yep, European trains are much nicer Apr 15 11:07:16 X-Fade: seriously, what's our policy on statically linked stuff ? if someone promoted something that includes a (properly optified) app with a statically linked Qt4.6 (or whatever is the dev version ATM) ... Can it reach extras or is that a no-no ? Apr 15 11:07:47 achipa: We have no policy on that. Apr 15 11:07:58 achipa: good question, never read anything about something being denied becuase of it, as the dependency would still work :P Apr 15 11:08:10 ahhhh but X-Fade be clever and know more than me ;) Apr 15 11:08:16 lardman|busy: Try out Serbian trains. It is confirmed we have a lower average travel speed than we had a 100 years a ago (fact) Apr 15 11:08:20 achipa: Technically there is nothing in the way of doing that. Apr 15 11:08:29 achipa: lol, I'll bear it in mind Apr 15 11:08:46 X-Fade: dont the maemo hamsters get a bit miffed and nibble at your ankles until you stop doing it? or is that just a myth? Apr 15 11:09:16 n00bmonk3y_Work: try out and see :) Apr 15 11:09:20 lol :) Apr 15 11:10:07 :) I'm just contemplating bundling Qt statically with PyQt... so it never gets outdated and needs no rootfs space... temptation of the dark side... Apr 15 11:10:26 * n00bmonk3y_Work doesnt completely understand that, sounds geeky ;) Apr 15 11:10:49 fine for the short term, but if you did that I think it should be flagged as something to be improved when the time is right Apr 15 11:11:01 achipa: It is an option. Also good to discuss that first ;) Apr 15 11:11:08 the difficulty is where to stop once you start saying that everything must be split into libs Apr 15 11:11:18 achipa: curiously, how big would a package be? Apr 15 11:11:57 X-Fade: good question, have not yet experimented with it Apr 15 11:12:24 achipa: can you statically link? Doesn't Python do late binding, etc Apr 15 11:12:36 would that work Apr 15 11:12:51 lardman|busy: pythod does, but PyQt is very much C++ on the inside :) Apr 15 11:13:38 ok Apr 15 11:13:41 i.e. I can link the Qt stuff to the wrapper itself, not pretty, but should work Apr 15 11:17:17 lardman|busy: in fact, there is even a cleaner way, PyQt seems to be able to do this out of the box, see http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/static/Docs/PyQt4/pyqt4ref.html and search for consolidate Apr 15 11:19:09 well, certainly worth an experiment... though I probably wouldn't promote something like that all the way to extras. It sure is tempting for extras-devel, though Apr 15 11:26:35 hey, this is interesting: apt-get install fennec says: E: Handler silently failed Apr 15 11:26:54 * achipa just loves non-descript error messages Apr 15 11:29:04 doesnt seem so silent Apr 15 11:34:25 achipa: error hunting 101: the last error is never the significant one. Apr 15 11:36:09 crashanddie: Unless it is. Apr 15 11:38:56 crashanddie: that's the fun part, that's not the last error. It's the ONLY error (supposedly, but I know better :) ) Apr 15 11:40:49 bloody hell, all uk flights in and out grounded now Apr 15 11:41:03 http://imagebin.ca/view/ChcWJS.html Apr 15 11:41:07 bazinga Apr 15 11:41:09 nid0: tell me about it Apr 15 11:45:21 can somebody help me with irreco? i won't connect to lirc Apr 15 11:45:27 and it appears that lircd isn't running Apr 15 11:45:34 not sure how to make it run Apr 15 11:49:13 starting the init script warns me that there are no valid remotes Apr 15 12:08:24 achipa: I think that might be because you have some old xulrunner installed, or might not have installed that at all. Apr 15 12:09:04 I have no clue if this is the problem, but try purging and reinstalling xulrunner first, then install fennec. Apr 15 12:09:17 Kurppa_: will do, thx Apr 15 12:09:52 Comes from Ovi, right? Apr 15 12:10:32 how do you make newly installed desktop icons appear without rebooting the device these days? Apr 15 12:11:24 refreshing icon chace doesn't seem to work Apr 15 12:11:28 *cache Apr 15 12:12:45 I can control what tracker oes with the config file in ~/.config/tracker/tracker.cfg Apr 15 12:12:52 How do I control thumbnailer? Apr 15 12:13:11 hmm, there is a tracker-cfg package Apr 15 12:13:19 you could try that Apr 15 12:31:07 Speedevil, you don't control the thumbnailer, the thumbnailer controls you! Apr 15 12:35:07 hi Apr 15 12:35:41 hello Apr 15 12:35:45 :-) Apr 15 12:36:07 anyone knows python? Apr 15 12:36:16 joker_89: shoot Apr 15 12:36:22 Wait Apr 15 12:36:26 You... were not born with the Python? Apr 15 12:36:43 joker_89, hi Apr 15 12:36:48 i am doing a sync using python, but i dont know how to show a text process like SENDING 1/100, SENDING 2/1000.. Apr 15 12:36:56 joker_89: guido does Apr 15 12:37:03 because i send all at the same time in JSON (like xml) Apr 15 12:37:03 you need a gui framework :) Apr 15 12:37:11 pfft Apr 15 12:37:36 threading is your friend :) Apr 15 12:37:39 i have the progress bar working, but i dont know how mobiles detect item per item. Apr 15 12:39:19 joker_89: you send all items in one request? which library do you use for requests (pycurl, urllib)? Apr 15 12:39:32 urllib Apr 15 12:39:42 i send all items serialized in json Apr 15 12:39:49 syncml do the same but in xml. Apr 15 12:40:07 is there a good tutorial on how te package for the n900 (python app) got this link but isn't all that clear: http://wiki.maemo.org/PyMaemo/How_to_build Apr 15 12:40:44 "I would feel embarrassed if my mobile phone looked outdated"... WTF ? Apr 15 12:41:00 achipa: eh? Apr 15 12:41:33 imagotuote Apr 15 12:42:38 sejo: looking at the maemo questionnaire. Gets weirder by the page Apr 15 12:42:47 ach Apr 15 12:45:03 hey! Apr 15 12:45:13 can someone please write a two way morse code application for us? Apr 15 12:45:19 the sender should be the camera LED Apr 15 12:45:28 and the receiver should be the primary camera Apr 15 12:45:34 lol Apr 15 12:45:43 mece: that depends on localisation. Apr 15 12:45:51 timeless_mbp: that would be cool Apr 15 12:45:52 bonus points for integrating with the share dialog Apr 15 12:46:00 (ftp over morse code over LED) Apr 15 12:46:04 hahaha Apr 15 12:46:16 timeless_mbp, where did you get that idea ? Apr 15 12:46:16 now getting really weird... "Holding this device and looking at it feels enjoyable. " Apr 15 12:46:30 there's a guy standing by the window in the next wing Apr 15 12:46:31 is it the cache method sync of nokia servers ? Apr 15 12:46:36 am I just having the wrong mental image of things being enjoyable ? Apr 15 12:46:39 he was moving around, i tried to wave my hand to say hello Apr 15 12:46:39 in the canon firmware hacking community they have lots of experience with such things... blinking the leds is how they get dumps of the firmware of many cameras :) Apr 15 12:46:41 he didn't respond Apr 15 12:46:49 i asked sp3000 if i should send him an sms Apr 15 12:46:56 he suggested using morse code Apr 15 12:47:04 i realized we could do two way morse code... Apr 15 12:47:07 the rest you know Apr 15 12:47:19 quite funny idea Apr 15 12:47:22 ok timeless_mbp now it gets practical, how do oyu filter the other noise from camera nad know which is which Apr 15 12:47:35 lcuk: the camera should be able to focus on the bright led Apr 15 12:47:37 does device send flashing sync signal Apr 15 12:47:44 the led color will be fairly easy to spot Apr 15 12:47:46 until it gets an ack :D Apr 15 12:47:50 and i'd hope it can focus on it Apr 15 12:47:52 the difficult part will be read a led flash and differeciate it from the sun Apr 15 12:47:57 red recording led Apr 15 12:48:00 or white torch Apr 15 12:48:13 "filter other noise" Apr 15 12:48:29 you find the 10hz flash from video stream or something Apr 15 12:48:34 send an ack flash back Apr 15 12:48:36 then continue Apr 15 12:49:02 well, i think the messages will have to be half-duplex Apr 15 12:49:27 i think morse includes a GA (go ahead) message Apr 15 12:49:28 "I spend more and more time taking care of myself, in order to feel good". What *exactly* is this getting at ? :S Apr 15 12:49:31 so that shouldn't be too bad Apr 15 12:49:48 achipa: "you're a girl" Apr 15 12:50:06 (probably a teenager!) Apr 15 12:50:22 hahahaha Apr 15 12:50:29 I had some good times with that survey. Apr 15 12:50:50 timeless_mbp: seriously, the questionnaire is starting to worry me... Apr 15 12:50:51 timeless_mbp: I wrote a python lib to decode morse code Apr 15 12:51:09 timeless_mbp: to "read" morse code when you tap the screen Apr 15 12:51:10 timeless_mbp: but then I figured it out. These are the *control* questions ! Apr 15 12:51:12 crashanddie: can you encode with it also? Apr 15 12:51:32 sejo: well, it's easily reversible I guess, I never had to, so never implemented it Apr 15 12:51:45 sejo: there's plenty of encoding libs out there Apr 15 12:51:53 I won't have access to the lib until next month though, sorry Apr 15 12:51:54 crashanddie: challenge of the day: encode and use the led :p Apr 15 12:54:37 * mece sings 'black black black black number one!" Apr 15 12:54:38 sejo: I've got a better idea, use the vibrate function for it ! And make a client that detects is via the accelerometer ! Apr 15 12:55:16 and then upgrade to intercontinental comms via longitudinal mechanical waves :) Apr 15 12:56:01 achipa: that's so 90's Apr 15 12:56:06 leds are in now Apr 15 12:56:16 14:40:44 < achipa_> "I would feel embarrassed if my mobile phone looked outdated"... WTF ? Apr 15 12:56:20 remember? Apr 15 12:57:09 if it wouldn't look like iphone? Apr 15 12:57:21 sejo: I was missing the most obvious question "I would feel embarrasssed if it looked liked an iPhone" Apr 15 12:57:23 exactly Apr 15 12:58:04 hehe Apr 15 13:00:03 on the plus side, the survey DID have penguins shooting *LASERS* from their eyes Apr 15 13:00:10 and everything is better with lasers... Apr 15 13:00:29 http://www.lazertits.com/ Apr 15 13:00:31 lol Apr 15 13:01:14 Is getsatisfaction.com considered as a valid bugtracker for extras QA? Apr 15 13:03:11 I'm lobbying to have http://www.zombo.com accepted as a valid link for handling end-user support Apr 15 13:03:20 devel down? Apr 15 13:06:17 I'm 100% serious, getsatisfaction is not some porn site, we use it as a issue report / funcionality request platform for our android/maemo apps Apr 15 13:06:21 has anyone tried chrome on n900? Apr 15 13:06:29 slow Apr 15 13:06:30 moo---: many Apr 15 13:06:44 squidd: know that it is slow is enough in this poit Apr 15 13:06:45 point Apr 15 13:06:47 moo---: it's great, it shows people how much better microb is :) Apr 15 13:06:48 moo---: check the thread(s) on talk.maemo.org Apr 15 13:07:06 people don't really appreciate microb until they have something against which to compare it :) Apr 15 13:07:07 talmai: sure, if it gives an option to handle user issues, it's OK Apr 15 13:07:31 timeless_mbp: hooray grammar Apr 15 13:07:40 talmai: whether it's commercial or not matters little (well, unless you bombard users with ads or require payment/subscription to access it) Apr 15 13:08:29 frosty`: yeah,… grammar is hard Apr 15 13:08:44 achipa, tnx for the info :) Apr 15 13:09:02 np Apr 15 13:23:39 lol thought this chick was eyeing me on the bus but no worries, she was staring at my n900 Apr 15 13:24:30 hehe good taste Apr 15 13:26:52 frals: My girlfriend (who has an iPhone) already envies my N900.. :) Apr 15 13:27:20 "What? It works without iTunes?" Apr 15 13:28:31 Choosing a phone that doesn't work with iTunes is easy Apr 15 13:28:38 Veggen: hehe, my gf got a 5800 and shes so jealous of my hw keyboard :) Apr 15 13:30:15 my girlfriend has an hd2 and she really likes blubbels Apr 15 13:30:36 other than that she prefers the sense ui on hers :p Apr 15 13:32:38 frals...... Apr 15 13:33:13 You know there is always the odd winge from randoms in tmo about fmms not being integrated into the system so to speak... is it worth a mini statement on your plans in a separate thread? Apr 15 13:33:22 "blubbels"? Apr 15 13:33:55 i'm thinking to keep the plans separate to the development thread so to speak Apr 15 13:34:29 n00bmonk3y_Work: bah, ill update first post in fmms thread... plan to do a new topic when i promote to testing anyway Apr 15 13:34:56 ahhh good point ;) sorry didnt mean to add more work for ya! Apr 15 13:35:11 dunno what good posting a new topic would do as ppl dont search before posting anyway :p Apr 15 13:35:25 hehe np, didnt mean it like that Apr 15 13:36:07 just getting tired by users who dont read before posting as there seems to be a constant flow of them :P Apr 15 13:36:54 :D - lol was just a thought a sthe current mega thread is useful - but is more dictated around the development, was thinking of explaining the mms v integration aspect to the masses.... - second thoughts, might not make sense separatley - but in the first post would be good :D Apr 15 13:37:10 frals: know exactly what you mean ;) Apr 15 13:37:45 :) Apr 15 13:42:45 quiet... Apr 15 13:43:19 pew Apr 15 13:43:48 * DocScrutinizer hears you can't get laid with showing off a N900 o.O Apr 15 13:44:05 someone in here claimed it was possible Apr 15 13:44:20 DocScrutinizer: vagalume was great for that on n8x0 though Apr 15 13:45:22 who posted the lazertits.com Apr 15 13:45:25 funky monkey Apr 15 13:45:37 visz Apr 15 13:45:42 hey people. First: Yesterday or the day before I asked about custom shortcuts, for example terminal with ssh connection. There was no answer but it was indeed very easy and I have the solution Apr 15 13:45:50 =o Apr 15 13:46:12 you have to create a .desktop in /usr/local/something (just find . | grep .desktop). For example copy the one from midnight commander. Apr 15 13:46:18 everything is better with lasers Apr 15 13:47:54 Now a new question: I have a fake PS3 controller. The manual says it uses "2.4GHz radio frequency (RF) technology". Do you think I might be able to connect this to my n900 ? Apr 15 13:48:08 =D Apr 15 13:48:12 Nils^: no. Apr 15 13:48:18 Nils^: http://my.arava.co.il/~matan/repo/Modified_Hildon_Desktop.html plus d-bus scrpting schould do Apr 15 13:48:38 for PS3 I have to use a special USB Dongle (or for PC) Apr 15 13:48:44 Nils^: is it Bluetooth? or does it have its own connector? Apr 15 13:49:06 Treibholz: like I said, own connector. No sign of bluetooth anyware Apr 15 13:49:55 Nils^: aah sorry. thought you talk bout kbd-shortcuts Apr 15 13:50:14 DocScrutinizer: I meant the basic connection first :) Apr 15 13:50:25 Nils^: no, won't work. Apr 15 13:50:59 Nils^: unless you tinker a usb-adapter to the usb-host... but... no, you don't want that. Apr 15 13:51:03 ok, So I have to buy a 60€ controller to connect to my n900, which I won't do. Apr 15 13:52:38 Nils^, what would you use the controller for? Apr 15 13:52:47 visz: Emulator games Apr 15 13:53:42 with tv-out? Apr 15 13:53:55 its not exactly easy with the n900 keyboard :) . Yes, sometimes with TV-Out. Apr 15 13:54:03 lmao Apr 15 13:54:16 I just love people who think of a mobile device and go "ooooh, games" Apr 15 13:54:17 actually it's a bit of a pitty we got no SDR for 433/866/2400MHz Apr 15 13:54:20 just get a wii, seriously Apr 15 13:54:45 crashanddie: wii + portable LCD tv you mean? ;) Apr 15 13:54:54 lardman|busy: don't feed the trolls. Apr 15 13:54:55 DocScrutinizer: FPGA! (+ V12) Apr 15 13:55:03 lardman|busy: they're talking about a ps3 remote control, and tv out Apr 15 13:55:07 lardman|busy: what's portable about that? Apr 15 13:55:21 true, /me moves on Apr 15 13:55:50 crashanddie: was just your comment about seeing portable device & thinking of games Apr 15 13:56:02 fairy nuff Apr 15 13:56:34 Nils^, don't know it it's possible, but how about: ps3-controller:usb -> usb:laptop:wlan -> wlan:n900 Apr 15 13:56:59 :) this might be a step too much. Apr 15 13:57:20 NOW I need a coffee Apr 15 13:57:24 =D Apr 15 13:58:00 I have a PS1/2->Adapter, wired, too. But this has a normal sized USB connector. I don't know about the differences USB/mini-usb Apr 15 13:58:18 SpeedEvil: fpga=powerhog, that's the street talk Apr 15 13:58:31 micro-usb I mean Apr 15 14:03:18 DocScrutinizer: hence the v12 Apr 15 14:04:58 SpeedEvil: what's V12? Apr 15 14:06:47 a otto-motor? Apr 15 14:07:48 v12? Apr 15 14:07:53 12 voltages? Apr 15 14:08:16 I thought most otto cycle engines were 4 cylinder Apr 15 14:08:42 lardman|busy: where you're living? Apr 15 14:08:47 GDR? Apr 15 14:08:49 in fact the original was single cyclinder apparently Apr 15 14:08:53 DocScrutinizer: Bath Apr 15 14:09:01 aah no there those were 2 cyl Apr 15 14:09:51 I was just thinking of the Prius ICE which is supposed to operate close to a true Otto cycle iirc, though I may be wrong Apr 15 14:09:55 I was moe thinking like in USA all engines are at least 8 cyl Apr 15 14:10:02 ah yes Apr 15 14:10:19 and if you're a learner you have a V6 Apr 15 14:10:36 is it possible to deactivate the gsm modem with an unchanged n900? i'm filling out the survey and can't remember Apr 15 14:10:48 offline mode Apr 15 14:10:50 spliffy: yes, airplane mode Apr 15 14:10:53 or that one Apr 15 14:11:10 kk Apr 15 14:11:10 spliffy: there's 'an app fot that' Apr 15 14:11:22 DocScrutinizer: i guess i have it installed Apr 15 14:12:08 it's called tablet mode if you want to keep the WLAN Apr 15 14:12:13 but it only makes the switch more comfortable Apr 15 14:12:15 ? Apr 15 14:12:34 yeah. i want that out of the box Apr 15 14:12:36 I'm off, cu all tomorrow Apr 15 14:15:21 i need a function to add up values in a column and give it back / out in normal text Apr 15 14:15:32 in the same topic of course Apr 15 14:26:43 * GAN900 groans Apr 15 14:35:26 * GAN900 is a bit worried the Nexus One is offering system updates with no internet access. Apr 15 14:36:12 GAN900, ? Apr 15 14:36:17 its *that* clever Apr 15 14:36:17 how is it possible Apr 15 14:36:27 Khertan_Home, no idea Apr 15 14:36:33 Secret Google darknet?

Apr 15 14:38:54 uh, my N900 seems to have annoying bug nowadays Apr 15 14:39:23 if I don't reboot every now and then, after unlocking the screen I need to wait few seconds before it start to work properly Apr 15 14:39:35 timeless: have you heard of something like that? Apr 15 14:40:22 * smaug goes Apr 15 14:40:42 By the way, the only notable content in Ari's talk yesterday was that the N900 has been an "overwhelming" success. Apr 15 14:41:23 in fairness though, theyd say that regardless unless it'd been a total complete unmitigated disaster Apr 15 14:42:04 hi there! Apr 15 14:42:16 анти-хруст. Apr 15 14:42:27 nid0, the sense that I got was that it was, in fact, a complete fucking insane runaway success Apr 15 14:42:50 Which is a function of Nokia being completely incapable of backing the platform, but still. Apr 15 14:43:12 I saw more N900s there yesterday than Android devices Apr 15 14:43:14 they didnt give any sales figures that I saw right, iv always been interested to know how accurate the "30k a month wasnt enough, we upped production to 100k" rumours are Apr 15 14:43:15 kernel-flasher-maemo don't updating (new version conflicts with defaul kernel and modules) Apr 15 14:43:26 GAN900: saw my post on best practices? Apr 15 14:43:29 nid0, yeah, no idea Apr 15 14:43:32 Stskeeps, nope Apr 15 14:43:57 GAN900: Proposal for Best Practices for working in a MeeGo team on meego-dev/meego-community Apr 15 14:44:12 thresh, 1) no russian here, 2) learn russian transliteration, you're wrong Apr 15 14:45:02 no i'm not. Apr 15 14:45:12 yes, you are Apr 15 14:45:15 :) Apr 15 14:45:27 The MeeGo shirts they gave out are so lightweight I swear they're women's. . . . Apr 15 14:45:57 GAN900, hows your nexus Apr 15 14:46:03 that's understandable :) Apr 15 14:46:23 lcuk, there's no SIM in it, so, meh. Apr 15 14:46:33 если читать так, чтобы в том моем нике была бы "у", то тогда там "кс" вместо "х" и "п" вместо "р" Apr 15 14:47:36 а в оригинале - "анти" на английском, а дальше по-русски "христ", но т.к. тут нельзя юникодные ники - подбирались похожие буквы Apr 15 14:47:56 that is right way :) Apr 15 14:48:14 * RST38h_ sighs Apr 15 14:49:22 lcuk, bergie's Nexus One booting to the bootloader because of a low battery was a pretty impressive failure mode. Apr 15 14:50:02 GAN900: next camera should be on top edge of device and rotatable so i can snapshot forward whild looking down at drvice Apr 15 14:50:22 there's no y in your nick anyway Apr 15 14:50:38 ouch ... maybe someone can help me ... how to change my password settings on the maemo website ?

Apr 15 14:51:19 i thought my idea was realistic Apr 15 14:51:39 pupnk: Prolly no: rotatable = mechanics = failure prone Apr 15 14:51:58 hum ... the n800 one was well working ) Apr 15 14:51:59 RST38h_, bablyon 5, g'kar had a removable eyeball that did that Apr 15 14:52:04 :) Apr 15 14:52:10 lol lcuk Apr 15 14:52:28 look also for a kino in stargate universe ... works well :) Apr 15 14:56:21 Stskeeps, I'm not seeing it.

Apr 15 15:25:23 add voltage to the graph Apr 15 15:25:52 hmm, that was less than a week ago, does it keep history? Apr 15 15:26:47 Stskeeps: Oh clever one........ Am i right in thinking ... harmatten is not meego (obvious i know) ....... but the 2 developments are not directly related? Apr 15 15:26:55 nvm, it does! Apr 15 15:27:04 n00bmonk3y_Work: what? Apr 15 15:27:26 ie next maemo development versus meego - and its relation to nokia's infamous step 4/5 Apr 15 15:28:06 Stskeeps, basically he's saying, are the Maemo 6 and MeeGo teams related? Apr 15 15:28:11 yeah kinda Apr 15 15:28:24 (and he's thinking they're not) Apr 15 15:28:24 preferably not inbred too ;) Apr 15 15:28:56 Anybody knows where one can get a hold of a foldable bluetooth keyboard? Apr 15 15:29:07 well i'm trying to understand the relation to the step 4 (ie n900) - step 5 - i assumed harmatten - and did meego just kinda join in the party? Apr 15 15:29:18 Been searching for quite some time now. Apr 15 15:29:23 Chewtoy: from a foldable bluetooth keyboard manufacturer ;) Apr 15 15:29:30 lol sorry not much help i know Apr 15 15:29:31 They seem very hard to track down... Apr 15 15:29:48 * n00bmonk3y_Work thinks i've confuzzled Stskeeps Apr 15 15:29:57 n00bmonk3y_Work Apr 15 15:30:01 n00bmonk3y_Work: you're assuming i know anything about anything Apr 15 15:30:05 healthcheck needs a promote, no? :p Apr 15 15:30:15 MohammadAG, upload screenshot of voltage and capacity? :) Apr 15 15:30:15 nid0: yeah, assumption is the mother of all fcuk ups, but you are clever ;) Apr 15 15:30:21 nid0: 3 days Apr 15 15:30:29 or 2 days now lol Apr 15 15:30:30 ShadowJK, capacity? (voltage coming up) Apr 15 15:30:51 ShadowJK, http://i41.tinypic.com/9sbiwj.jpg Apr 15 15:30:55 o yeah, i counted days wrong :( 2 days to go Apr 15 15:30:59 If batterygraph can do it, displaying both the percentage and voltage at same time Apr 15 15:31:35 :D Apr 15 15:31:39 hm, no scale Apr 15 15:32:23 16/10 votes and i think 3 seniors , so should be ok in 2 days :) Apr 15 15:32:25 ShadowJK, there is one, but it's only visible at the end of the graph (screenie coming up) Apr 15 15:33:22 yeah you're covered for the 3 testing squad votes Apr 15 15:33:34 ShadowJK, http://i40.tinypic.com/5ludcl.jpg (not the best scale I've seen) Apr 15 15:33:59 hello people :) Apr 15 15:34:14 hey wazd Apr 15 15:34:14 hey wazd Apr 15 15:34:38 nid0: - new version will go into devel tomorrow - and be pumped into testing soon after the promotion Apr 15 15:34:49 nice, whats new? Apr 15 15:35:11 going to change the navigation and tidy up the styles a bit Apr 15 15:35:21 also - adding some better led and pattern tests Apr 15 15:35:28 + trying to figure out an ear speaker test Apr 15 15:35:36 is one of the led tests gonna be cycling through every colour? :P Apr 15 15:35:39 yup Apr 15 15:35:42 nice Apr 15 15:35:44 + combination of colours Apr 15 15:35:57 so far it's about 9 seconds to get the full rainbow effect Apr 15 15:35:57 did you make a decision on how to stresstest/benchmark btw? Apr 15 15:36:17 nid0: yes... but will not be implemented for a little while, many many tests for me to evaluate and consider Apr 15 15:36:38 + trying to figure out an ear speaker Apr 15 15:36:41 * MohammadAG has ideas... Apr 15 15:36:47 * n00bmonk3y_Work prods MohammadAG Apr 15 15:36:55 call echo123 using skype :P Apr 15 15:36:59 * n00bmonk3y_Work is going for a ciggy... will come back to your lovely ideas shortly Apr 15 15:37:05 MohammadAG: meh Apr 15 15:37:11 should be easier then that Apr 15 15:37:15 to stresstest rather than a pure benchmark, anything that attempts to calculate pi or prime number iterations will undoubtedly be the best bets Apr 15 15:37:18 I was jk anyways :P Apr 15 15:37:19 MohammadAG, the voltage was in the higher end of low-batteru-warning threshold... In my measurements with the mugen battery, there'd be about 30% remaining (full - shutdown) at that point. Apr 15 15:38:06 * andrewfblack 's website hit a new high for view in 1 day yesterday Apr 15 15:38:22 hehe Apr 15 15:38:28 "The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners." -Ernst Jan Plugge Apr 15 15:38:53 Lol Apr 15 15:38:59 I encountered a General Electric vaccuum pump this week. It didn't suck. :( Apr 15 15:39:29 on the other hand it was hot enough that I could have made toast Apr 15 15:40:27 MohammadAG, the battery low before that came at about 3500mV which is far closer to shutdown Apr 15 15:40:46 it starts dropping fast after that though :D Apr 15 15:40:57 (shutdown happens at 3200mV) Apr 15 15:42:59 ShadowJK, it shutdown on 0v before that Apr 15 15:43:15 eh :) Apr 15 15:43:54 is there a way to get rid of apt-worker? it annoys me :P Apr 15 15:44:47 MohammadAG: mv /usr/sbin/apt-worked /usr/sbin/apt-worker.gone? Apr 15 15:44:50 :) Apr 15 15:45:16 * andrewfblack was up at 2am changing google password and running virus scans on windows computers in house Apr 15 15:45:27 slonopotamus, and I'm assuming that would make it show errors every day at 12AM? :) Apr 15 15:45:45 * n00bmonk3y_Work returneths Apr 15 15:45:51 andrewfblack, I was up at 5AM fixing a package :P Apr 15 15:46:12 MohammadAG, looks like you got quite close to 3200mV at one point... The meter doesn't update often enough to accurately catch the rapid fall from about 3300 and down :) Apr 15 15:46:23 MohammadAG: 5am I was leaving for work Apr 15 15:46:47 andrewfblack, I went to bed after fixing it :P Apr 15 15:46:52 was up for 24h Apr 15 15:47:05 err... you go below 3500? Apr 15 15:47:07 ShadowJK, you do realize this isn't with a mugen right? Apr 15 15:47:45 Yes, but voltage behaves the same with all batteries Apr 15 15:48:06 ShadowJK, it shutdown on 0v before that Apr 15 15:48:16 s/0/3227/ Apr 15 15:48:16 MohammadAG meant: ShadowJK, it shutdown on 3227v before that Apr 15 15:48:19 MohammadAG: I built a package last night also : ) Apr 15 15:48:20 :) Apr 15 15:48:29 andrewfblack, theme? Apr 15 15:48:52 MohammadAG: yep Apr 15 15:48:57 * javispedro notes that some -developers messages are appearing blanked in gmane Apr 15 15:49:01 * n00bmonk3y_Work built a package last night too.... no change there Apr 15 15:49:11 gmane? Apr 15 15:49:18 Yeah, at 3227 all it takes is to touch the screen and it goes below 3200 for a split second, and the shutdown gets triggered :) Apr 15 15:49:18 * nid0 built a server last night Apr 15 15:49:54 heh, you battery hackers having fun ? :-D Apr 15 15:50:14 MohammadAG: did it all by hand this time sliced images then wrote all the control files and such much more fun then using a program to do it for me Apr 15 15:51:10 andrewfblack, that's easier sometimes lol Apr 15 15:51:15 especially for optification Apr 15 15:51:23 ~curse 256MB root Apr 15 15:51:24 May the fleas of a thousand camels infest your most sensitive regions, 256MB root ! Apr 15 15:51:41 btw voltage *does not* behave same way for all cells Apr 15 15:51:53 not even for cells of same type Apr 15 15:52:17 there are still subtle diffs in cell chemistry Apr 15 15:52:22 yes Apr 15 15:52:35 and differences in internal resistance Apr 15 15:52:38 yes Apr 15 15:52:57 MohammadAG: I don't know about that maybe a little easier, my problem is since this theme isn't open source and I needed a .deb instead of source package I couldn't use MADDE an autobuilder to do it for me. I've never goten Theme Maker to work since it was updated for Fremantle. Apr 15 15:53:44 andrewfblack: you can build in the SDK if need be Apr 15 15:53:45 andrewfblack, I thought there weren't package builders for themes Apr 15 15:53:56 thought you used dpkg-buildpackage for that Apr 15 15:54:02 (with -b for binaries only) Apr 15 15:54:35 * n00bmonk3y_Work raises an eyebrow Apr 15 15:54:45 andrewfblack: did you look into if it's OK to do things like that with the cc sa by 2.5 license, btw? Apr 15 15:55:23 (reason i'm wondering is because the last thing i would like to see is a C&D from nokia towards you :P) Apr 15 15:55:25 DocScrutinizer, I wonder if I could estimate a battery's internal resistance using nothing but an N900 and bw27200 and bq24150 :) Apr 15 15:55:37 Stskeeps: Yeah since I'm changing the image in the template its ok. Apr 15 15:55:38 * n00bmonk3y_Work will let the maemo lemmings loose on nokia if they do ;) Apr 15 15:55:47 andrewfblack: fair enough Apr 15 15:56:00 Stskeeps: I almost got a C&D from Nokia once before Apr 15 15:56:09 tbh, someone should write a touch lemmings game for maemo Apr 15 15:56:18 andrewfblack: oh? Apr 15 15:56:26 yup and get a C&D from nokia..... blasted lemmings Apr 15 15:56:28 * Stskeeps didn't hear that story Apr 15 15:56:37 Stskeeps: Even wondered why I closed Maemobox.org? Apr 15 15:56:51 andrewfblack: ah yes, trademarks Apr 15 15:57:04 the sad fact is they have to defend them or lose them :/ Apr 15 15:57:57 Stskeeps: Not that their are not 1000 websits using it now that are making money off their sites with ads and I was helping hte community with my site. I could have changed the name and kept it going but I closed it Apr 15 15:58:13 andrewfblack: :nod: Apr 15 15:58:15 who wanted me in here :D Apr 15 15:59:07 stskeeps, it's lame to use grafic smilies in irc chan Apr 15 15:59:19 ZogG_N900: eh.

Apr 15 16:00:22 it isn't Apr 15 16:00:28 it's an equivalent of *nod* Apr 15 16:00:54 pretty scary when a mod stealth merges threads Apr 15 16:01:11 hi all, does anyone know how to use mbarcode? i seem to have only a scan button, but not sure how its suppose to translate the 2D barcode Apr 15 16:01:16 i thoug it's something like :bored:smiles Apr 15 16:01:18 no Apr 15 16:01:49 guysoft42 open lens and scan Apr 15 16:01:54 what will come first, Meego PR1.2 or Maemo PR1.2 ? :P Apr 15 16:02:02 ZogG_N900, ok, and once it sees a barcode?

Apr 15 16:02:56 meego's or maemo's? Apr 15 16:03:05 frals: even worse when they stealth merge 2 mega threads..... the servers start leaning sideways ;) Apr 15 16:03:06 mohammadag are u from jerusalem? Apr 15 16:03:55 ? Apr 15 16:04:15 yeah Apr 15 16:04:25 i'm from tlv Apr 15 16:04:33 ptl, 2010 is when we all die :P Apr 15 16:04:36 :) Apr 15 16:04:37 2012* Apr 15 16:04:44 ShadowJK: seems we got several means to probe exact battery voltage, and bq27200 should be able to tell discharge I *avrg* for a iirc 4sec window Apr 15 16:04:50 (btw I'm jk, don't believe that ****) Apr 15 16:04:58 ZogG_N900, cool! Apr 15 16:05:05 5.12 sec Apr 15 16:05:09 not me. i'll live till pr1.4 Apr 15 16:05:11 I'll be going to Jordan soon hopefully Apr 15 16:05:32 moving at all or for a while? Apr 15 16:05:32 iirc voltage is updated every 1.2 sec or something Apr 15 16:05:43 ZogG_N900, you're never dying then :) Apr 15 16:05:53 that's my point Apr 15 16:06:04 ShadowJK: so keep power consumption staedy at I(1) for 4sec, read out I and U, then do same for I(2) Apr 15 16:06:17 ShadowJK, mAhs don't seem to get updated while charging Apr 15 16:06:32 so how to jailbreak maemo? Apr 15 16:06:45 with whitedus1? Apr 15 16:06:46 MohammadAG, yeeah nme only updates voltage while charging. and that only if you poke the screen Apr 15 16:06:50 :) Apr 15 16:07:08 it isn,t extly jailed to start with... Apr 15 16:07:19 woah, keyboard fail Apr 15 16:07:24 jailbreak? Apr 15 16:07:26 ZogG_N900, no, y3ll0wp3ngu1n Apr 15 16:07:29 u fail Apr 15 16:07:35 ptl, he's being sarcastic Apr 15 16:07:40 oh Apr 15 16:07:43 BCMM_: DON't PANIC! ? Apr 15 16:07:46 :) Apr 15 16:07:51 DocScrutinizer, so on N8x0 I collected large amounts of per-second I and U and never managed to turn it into any consistent internal resistance :) Apr 15 16:08:00 i'm bored on bus Apr 15 16:08:11 ShadowJK, does it have to be on when I poke it? :P Apr 15 16:08:12 docscrutinizer got pretty confused about video encoding Apr 15 16:08:19 ZogG_N900: you can't jailbreak, but you can use a chroot jail :D like in easy-debian Apr 15 16:08:20 MohammadAG, yes Apr 15 16:08:31 ShadowJK, was jk... :) Apr 15 16:08:37 i presume it needs to be a video that plays in media player? Apr 15 16:08:37 ShadowJK: N810 I and maybe U probing might be borked at large Apr 15 16:08:49 ptl i can just hammerbrake it also Apr 15 16:09:29 so what is the possibility to port android apps? Apr 15 16:09:45 we need java for that am i right? Apr 15 16:09:48 nil afaik Apr 15 16:09:57 not standard java Apr 15 16:09:58 "android" java Apr 15 16:10:12 what's the different? Apr 15 16:10:18 android might as well be iPhone in that respect Apr 15 16:10:19 difference Apr 15 16:10:28 it has specific classes for androidisms (devices, security model and such) Apr 15 16:10:35 and it uses dalvik to run. Apr 15 16:10:49 so it's not possible? Apr 15 16:10:54 nope Apr 15 16:10:59 i mean in friendly way Apr 15 16:11:00 * ShadowJK wants to get all of those stupid "Gold BL-5J 1930 mAh battery"-type crap people find on ebay, and do tests Apr 15 16:11:01 I find it very improbably that someone does some compatibility layer for people to run android apps in maemo Apr 15 16:11:02 damn Apr 15 16:11:05 BUT Apr 15 16:11:10 there's a port of android to the N900 and N8*0 Apr 15 16:11:15 called NITdroid Apr 15 16:11:21 i know Apr 15 16:11:54 ShadowJK: get find on ebaeh? please rephrase Apr 15 16:11:58 but i don't need it. i want andego Apr 15 16:12:06 andreego Apr 15 16:12:07 ShadowJK: probably a fraction of the claimed voltage, if not lower than a regular BL-5J Apr 15 16:12:13 err, capacity Apr 15 16:12:26 andre klapper's ego? Apr 15 16:12:31 andreego Apr 15 16:13:16 but is it possible to port opensource programs? Apr 15 16:13:22 DocScrutinizer, I plan to buy a collection of the different "superbattery" people have found on ebay Apr 15 16:13:26 if u port from java at all Apr 15 16:13:27 and test them Apr 15 16:13:44 for their capacity and internal resistance Apr 15 16:13:56 ZogG_N900: yes, very straightforward indeed Apr 15 16:13:59 ZogG_N900: there are many ports of standard linux apps to the N900 Apr 15 16:14:05 ShadowJK: sorry, brain kickstart try 1 failed here Apr 15 16:14:17 ptl i know Apr 15 16:14:24 Also the "genuine original nokia BL-5J" from DX Apr 15 16:14:30 ZogG_N900: Android sucks, simply. Apr 15 16:14:36 I missed what you might be asking then, ZogG_N900 Apr 15 16:14:36 ShadowJK: great plan, indeed Apr 15 16:14:45 but they aren't mobile apps Apr 15 16:15:11 ZogG_N900: what you want is to run Android and Maemo concurrently, correct? Apr 15 16:15:14 well, they become mobile once they're ported. :) Apr 15 16:15:19 luke-jr maybe. but there r so many tasty apps Apr 15 16:15:36 ZogG_N900: it's a normal linux machine, applications are written in C using GTK and the X server Apr 15 16:15:42 Although Nokia itself says they can't tell some genuine and fake batteries apart without disassembly, I'm guessing there should be differences in the internal resistance atleast Apr 15 16:15:51 luke-jr nope. i want varity of android apps on maemo Apr 15 16:15:51 ZogG_N900: AFAIK, Android's kernel is still compatible with Linux and you should be able to combine it with MeeGo at some point Apr 15 16:16:06 ZogG_N900: Android and Maemo GUI are completely different Apr 15 16:16:11 ShadowJK: though cell Z is a secondary parameter actually, of minor importance as long as it's not way too high Apr 15 16:16:32 android is linux of sorts, but with some kernel mods too weird to go upstream and a completely strange userspace Apr 15 16:16:47 google is evil Apr 15 16:16:50 because android is the reincarnation of the BeOS! Apr 15 16:16:59 BCMM: Google and Linux parted ways and Android is officially a fork now Apr 15 16:17:06 the bp-4l that came with my n810 has about 5 times higher ir now than when new :) Apr 15 16:17:12 maybe more Apr 15 16:17:14 luke-jr: i'd say that's pretty much the same thing Apr 15 16:17:33 google isn't evil; all publicly-traded companies tend towards being amoral Apr 15 16:17:34 BCMM: they are already incompatible at the patchset level Apr 15 16:17:45 ShadowJK: second source cells either might not meet the abs max ratings, and/or have a way higher self discharge Apr 15 16:17:55 BCMM: publicly traded companies inherently tend toward evil Apr 15 16:17:58 however, nokia understands that the open-source community is a good friend to keep Apr 15 16:18:03 google helps opensource only for their good Apr 15 16:18:06 ShadowJK: Z wouldn't vary much I'd guess Apr 15 16:18:18 BCMM: Nokia isn't much better Apr 15 16:18:45 DocScrutinizer, I guess I could just attach ATX 12V PSU output to them and video what happens Apr 15 16:18:57 nokia didn't use opensource as google til now Apr 15 16:18:58 i don't think nokia does it out of the goodness of their heart, because they're a company Apr 15 16:19:23 but i think they care more what the open source community thinks of them than google Apr 15 16:19:34 ShadowJK: all but the most crappy ones just will trip fuse Apr 15 16:19:44 Because they have less resources to spend. Apr 15 16:19:51 ATX 5V then :) Apr 15 16:19:52 Maintaining a fork has its own costs. Apr 15 16:19:58 without business there wouldn't be maemo/meego Apr 15 16:20:05 BCMM: when you need to use people, you either pay them or are friendly Apr 15 16:20:10 Google does the first; Nokia does the latter Apr 15 16:20:32 luke-jr: certainly, but i don't feel that nokia is being exploitative so much as "paying in kind" Apr 15 16:20:55 BCMM: Nokia refuses to open the important parts, so I certainly feel exploited Apr 15 16:21:08 luke-jr: also, you've missed out the possibility of simply pressuring them microsoft-style, which is where google is going Apr 15 16:21:17 luke-jr: actually, i'm kinda ignorant on that one Apr 15 16:21:22 luke-jr: which bits are still closed? Apr 15 16:21:40 BCMM: battery charging is the important bit Nokia has complete control over Apr 15 16:22:02 luke-jr: would it be possible to destroy a battery by overcharging without it? Apr 15 16:22:05 there's also some other bits they don't have direct control over, but I can't blame them entirely for that Apr 15 16:22:10 BCMM: hard Apr 15 16:22:11 BCMM: I don't care. Apr 15 16:22:21 it's my battery, I should be able to do what I want with it Apr 15 16:22:23 maybe some safety stuff is in software rather than hardware? Apr 15 16:22:30 BCMM: you can ramp up the cycle count when on charger Apr 15 16:22:33 they may be afraid of liability Apr 15 16:22:37 BCMM: maybe I want to make a smart bomb Apr 15 16:22:57 what i'm saying is that it may not be intentional screwing of open-source Apr 15 16:23:00 once I buy the device, it's no longer Nokia's business to interfere with what I do with it Apr 15 16:23:21 BCMM: closed source only makes it easier to *accidentally* make a smart bomb Apr 15 16:23:28 thats a laughably blinkered and short-sighted attitude Apr 15 16:23:38 again that depends a alot from where in the world you buy the device Apr 15 16:23:42 you can still edit closed source software, it's just harder to do right and requires experimenting Apr 15 16:23:42 a little like those wifi manufacturers that are (somewhat ignorantly) concerned that it would be their legal problem if someone modded an open driver to disobey regulatory requirements Apr 15 16:23:58 whether it's your device and whether you fucked about with the charging software, if you alter it and fuck your device, the headlines bemoaning shitty nokia will still damage nokia. Apr 15 16:24:34 nid0: so let them weigh *potential* damage from bad press in such a situation Apr 15 16:24:34 thats partly because of stupid miss-use of law in USA Apr 15 16:24:35 with Apr 15 16:24:37 lucent: actually Nokia has rather little control over your battery charging. It's bq24150a chip that does the charging, even without much help from BME Apr 15 16:24:45 me not buying their new devices Apr 15 16:24:47 down that road lies apple's "if people install shitty applications, they'll blame us" Apr 15 16:24:49 luke-jr: I imagine they did, long and hard, which is why it's closed. Apr 15 16:24:49 luke-jr: ^^^ Apr 15 16:25:05 but where batteries are concerned, they could genuinly be worried about people hurting themselves and blaming nokia Apr 15 16:25:06 if enough people refuse to buy their stuff, they need to pick: possible risk vs certain loss Apr 15 16:25:22 BCMM: won't happen Apr 15 16:25:34 and people are still buying their devices, because most people couldnt give 2 shits about whether the battery charging software is open or closed Apr 15 16:25:44 nid0: exactly the problem :( Apr 15 16:25:46 whereas they have hundreds of thousands of potentially breakable batteries if it's open Apr 15 16:25:50 we're about to convince Nokia about they don't need BME Apr 15 16:25:56 people need to start standing up for owning their purchases Apr 15 16:26:11 How safe is it to overclock the n900 to say 800mhz? Like can I still use it day to day? Apr 15 16:26:14 nid0: they're already potentially breakable Apr 15 16:26:23 dotblank: no Apr 15 16:26:29 dotblank, not at all safe. Apr 15 16:26:29 dotblank: in general, the harm of overclocking is long-term Apr 15 16:26:33 DocScrutinizer, how about 700mhz? Apr 15 16:26:39 no Apr 15 16:26:39 i'd like to know about overclocking actually - is the clock limited by default due to cooling or due to battery? Apr 15 16:26:41 dotblank: even if it works, the CPU will die much sooner Apr 15 16:26:50 ah ok thanks Apr 15 16:27:06 BCMM, due to overvoltage Apr 15 16:27:33 I didn't now CPUs were prone to die.. Apr 15 16:27:33 know* Apr 15 16:27:38 MTBF goes down rather quickly after 600MHz Apr 15 16:27:47 dotblank: especially modern ones... Apr 15 16:27:55 1990s generation were designed to last Apr 15 16:28:03 but since 2000, they're designed to go 3-5 years or so Apr 15 16:28:40 luke-jr, so they are designed to break basically.. Apr 15 16:28:45 perhaps people are not ready to pay for "designed to last" stuff Apr 15 16:28:46 depends who you ask Apr 15 16:28:55 : designed to break and make you buy new ones Apr 15 16:29:11 dotblank: they are designed to run fast and be small Apr 15 16:29:16 : people only tend to use cpu's for 3-5 years anyway before upgrading so why spend billions making them more durable Apr 15 16:29:18 well I spent a lot of money for my n900... Apr 15 16:29:53 I expext my n900 to die from other factors in 3-5 years Apr 15 16:29:56 dotblank: so don't kill it with foolish overclocking Apr 15 16:29:57 expect* Apr 15 16:30:01 dotblank, there are realistic limits in technology and costs. Apr 15 16:30:23 first manufacturer limits cpu to run in safe speed to quarantee it doesn't break and then people ramp it up Apr 15 16:30:25 which is exactly why theyre rated to certain clock speeds to last a reasonable time Apr 15 16:30:34 you go above the rated speed, it's lifespand decreases Apr 15 16:30:35 simple Apr 15 16:30:55 nid0, is the inverse true? Apr 15 16:31:01 yeah.. and then blame "designed to break" Apr 15 16:31:04 sortof Apr 15 16:31:05 decreases *drastically* Apr 15 16:31:51 dotblank: everything breaks with age Apr 15 16:32:11 :( I like my gameboy Apr 15 16:32:32 its still going strong Apr 15 16:32:39 nand and flash will wear out Apr 15 16:32:41 dotblank: like, Z80? :p\ Apr 15 16:32:55 I bet it's also spent a lot of time switched off Apr 15 16:33:04 eventually, maybe next century Apr 15 16:33:15 wait 2-5 years of constant use or average use? Apr 15 16:33:18 3-5* Apr 15 16:33:53 the mtbf of the chip running at high clock frequencies is measured in hundreds/thousands of hours, and is time actually running at that speed Apr 15 16:33:57 MTBF is rated for operation hours Apr 15 16:34:02 constant, but power on/off isn't going to just freeze it Apr 15 16:34:28 ah.. well it doesn't matter my n900 is usually on 24/7 Apr 15 16:34:41 and your gameboy isnt :) Apr 15 16:34:52 anyhow, the CPU isn't the only component Apr 15 16:34:56 nid0, your point is now very valid Apr 15 16:34:58 in 3-5 years, something else would break too Apr 15 16:35:09 why make a CPU to last 10-15 years if the rest will break first? Apr 15 16:35:29 i still have my 3410 Apr 15 16:35:33 yes, but what if overclocking means it only lasts 1yr. or 6months? is it worth the risk? Apr 15 16:35:35 Well what is the lifespan of the battery? Apr 15 16:35:46 dotblank, 6hrs Apr 15 16:35:51 short. battery's replaceable though Apr 15 16:36:12 tripzero, I wish my n900 had a 6hr battery Apr 15 16:36:26 mine goes down in about 3-4 Apr 15 16:36:31 ouch Apr 15 16:36:38 dotblank: try not using it Apr 15 16:36:42 dotblank: what do you do with it? Apr 15 16:36:49 everything Apr 15 16:36:50 yeah, what luke-jr said... Apr 15 16:36:53 mine lives at least until i get home from work Apr 15 16:36:55 apparently Nokia thinks you're not supposed to use the device Apr 15 16:37:15 well, you can go out all day waiting for a phone call and it will deal with it Apr 15 16:37:28 it's not a phone Apr 15 16:37:28 and if your'e actually doing stuff with it, it will still last longer than most netbooks Apr 15 16:37:41 well I have a car charger now Apr 15 16:37:42 so that helps drastically Apr 15 16:37:57 I do have to wonder why the device has a relatively low capacity battery in it :< Apr 15 16:37:58 my N810 dies in 15 minutes at most, so I keep it on AC constantly Apr 15 16:37:59 make a solar panel hat Apr 15 16:38:03 also keep in mind MTBF is the time when HALF of the devices actually FAILED. You got a gaussian curve around that of devices failing more early or which last longer Apr 15 16:38:08 and charge it in your pocket Apr 15 16:38:31 nid0: so it can be small Apr 15 16:38:38 if you don't mind size, get one of those external things Apr 15 16:38:46 well, nokia have other batteries the same volume that're more powerful Apr 15 16:38:54 I heard rumors about hi cap batteries Apr 15 16:38:56 nid0: oh Apr 15 16:39:10 that one from ebay Apr 15 16:39:11 bp-4l is a prime example, that's several years older than the bl-5j, has almost identical volume, and is 1500mAh Apr 15 16:39:15 dotblank: it's twice the size Apr 15 16:39:32 nid0: perhaps it can't do as much instantaneously? Apr 15 16:39:46 or weights a ton more? Apr 15 16:40:03 I seriously wouldn't mind my handheld being a bit thicker and weighing a bit more Apr 15 16:40:14 even twice the thickness of my N810 would be tolerable Apr 15 16:40:22 weight's pretty much the same. even if weight was the reason, id gladly take a fractionally heavier n900 for 10% better battery Apr 15 16:40:23 I believe there is a reason for selecting current battery Apr 15 16:40:48 * javispedro 's preferred form factor is still the n810. Apr 15 16:41:02 like my n900 is my lifeline.. If I were to be stuck in a situation I would really really want my n900 and having it die on me is not very reliable Apr 15 16:41:06 * nid0 's is the e90 Apr 15 16:41:08 javispedro: i'll trade you an n800 and n770 for an n900 :) Apr 15 16:41:23 for that matter, i have an e90 also. so pick any 2 :) Apr 15 16:41:31 * luke-jr 's preferred form factor is still the C760 :/ Apr 15 16:41:53 you'll miss the e90's keyboard if you get an n900 Apr 15 16:41:56 ok people who's been poking around in my office? got a c760 too :) Apr 15 16:42:21 luke-jr: http://www.lexmark.com/publications/pubs_images/c760.jpg :) Apr 15 16:42:53 http://www.mobiletechreview.com/sharp_zaurus_C760.htm Apr 15 16:44:01 oops might be an 860. checking. Apr 15 16:44:16 javispedro: fail Apr 15 16:44:21 I imagine :) Apr 15 16:44:31 speaking of which, anyone got detailed specs on the new IS01? Apr 15 16:45:06 yah its an 860 on my shelf. should prolly see if it still works one of these days. Apr 15 16:45:40 Disconnect: my battery is useless Apr 15 16:46:01 i -think- i stored the battery properly, but i won't swear to it. and its been at least a couple years. Apr 15 16:47:01 that's definitely NOT a proper storage then Apr 15 16:47:34 you must recharge LiIon at least every 6 months Apr 15 16:48:35 after a few years of storage odds are it's dead to deep self discharge Apr 15 16:49:01 s/dead to/dead due to/ Apr 15 16:49:02 DocScrutinizer meant: after a few years of storage odds are it's dead due to deep self discharge Apr 15 16:49:32 I didn't think li-ion discharges itself that fast Apr 15 16:49:49 unless it has a hungry chip in it.. Apr 15 16:50:06 http://au-is.jp/products/images/is01/features/photo03.jpg Apr 15 16:51:46 ShadowJK: that largely depends on quality of the cell (see my above comment on second source) Apr 15 16:52:58 Charging to 40%, placing in freezer works well Apr 15 16:53:08 charge every few months Apr 15 16:53:11 (for me) Apr 15 16:53:48 if the cell uses a thin separator for good electrical properties wrt capacitance and Z, then any impurities in manufacturing process tend to more likely pierce that separator creating micro-shorts Apr 15 16:54:27 and also more likely goes boom due to same problem Apr 15 16:54:34 lol Apr 15 16:55:04 the manufs tend to call for 90% charge (or so) followed by cool storage (not freezing) and it should be good for months to years. at 100% its good for weeks to months. Apr 15 16:55:25 but in any case, maybe i'll break it out this weekend and mess with it Apr 15 16:55:36 what voltage would it be at 40% Apr 15 16:55:56 * itdock gets out his trusty fluke 115 Apr 15 16:56:12 depends Apr 15 16:56:36 it's more about actual voltage than about capacity anyway Apr 15 16:56:59 k, what voltage should it be at then Apr 15 16:57:00 :P Apr 15 16:57:11 what is it at? Apr 15 16:57:23 so if the cell is less than 4V and more than 3V7 you usually are in the 'green range' for storing Apr 15 16:57:52 so 3.7-4v, and in the fridge? Apr 15 16:58:11 10°C Apr 15 16:58:29 actually 0°..10° Apr 15 16:58:37 freezer then Apr 15 16:58:38 ok Apr 15 16:58:44 New lipos usually have 3.80 - 3.85 when I get them. Apr 15 16:58:55 freezer is -18 :P Apr 15 16:59:06 NON-FREEZING Apr 15 16:59:29 non-condensating helps too ;) Apr 15 16:59:40 yep, a lot Apr 15 16:59:52 lol ok Apr 15 16:59:55 platic bag with silica gel Apr 15 17:01:13 X-Fade, that sounds right Apr 15 17:01:19 I think that's where the lowest degradation takes place Apr 15 17:02:14 yes Apr 15 17:03:56 some laptops have a 'treat battery gentle' setting, where the cells aren't charged to the max allowable voltage. Supposed to prolong bat lifespan by factors Apr 15 17:05:19 yet it's probably much better not the keep the battery pack plugged in to a device that warms up the whole thing to 45°+ all the time, while hooked up to mains Apr 15 17:06:45 Freezer is -18. But look at the cell datasheets - I haven't found one that says storing at -20 isn't OK Apr 15 17:07:09 not? me did Apr 15 17:08:14 actually -20 isn't even allowable for all *operational* conditions Apr 15 17:08:45 The bq27200 temperature readings scare me Apr 15 17:09:21 33 right now. Seen 51C Apr 15 17:09:28 forget the temp readings, they are mostly bogus Apr 15 17:09:46 that's die temp of the chip afaik Apr 15 17:09:47 small question about ssh access, what username and password should i use? I don't remember setting one Apr 15 17:09:55 I guess the ones from gaia's madc would be more useful Apr 15 17:10:04 anyone know if the quake 2 port uses GLES or is it just software rendering? Apr 15 17:10:22 am i being silly or isnt it obvious to long tap an image to get a context menu? Apr 15 17:11:13 evil|Jonne, it asks you to set a root password when you install openssh. If you've forgotten it, you cn install rootsh and do 'sudo gainroot' followed by 'passwd root' to set it again Apr 15 17:11:26 evil|Jonne: you have set a root password when installing ssh Apr 15 17:11:38 ok, i'll try again Apr 15 17:11:53 user has no pw by default, so no ssh into user account Apr 15 17:12:04 oh, ok Apr 15 17:12:07 i did set one Apr 15 17:12:13 tnx, logged in now Apr 15 17:12:19 yw Apr 15 17:12:33 can i set up a pass for user? Apr 15 17:12:38 yes Apr 15 17:12:42 meh, i guess root is fine Apr 15 17:14:24 evil|Jonne: I suggest to set up decent ssh keys and log in to user by default Apr 15 17:14:41 most convenient, most safe Apr 15 17:14:48 i might just do that Apr 15 17:15:13 i'm trying to find a way to have my phone mount wirelessly on my pc when i get home Apr 15 17:15:24 without having to do anything Apr 15 17:15:43 cron job every 5 mins ? Apr 15 17:16:14 i don't know how to do it yet, i guess whatever doesn't put too much load on my phone Apr 15 17:16:16 with a ping or sth, yes Apr 15 17:16:37 nah, cronjob on your home PC Apr 15 17:17:29 maybe i could have a daemon that listens on avahi or something Apr 15 17:18:05 has anyone blogged about something like that yet so i don't have to reinvent warm water? Apr 15 17:22:57 ~nuke avahi Apr 15 17:22:58 * infobot prepares 100 missle silos, and targets them at avahi ... B☢☢M! Apr 15 17:28:03 how long does an n900 take to charge? Apr 15 17:28:09 4 hours here Apr 15 17:28:13 hmm Apr 15 17:28:17 longer if you're using it? Apr 15 17:28:24 that's if I'm using it Apr 15 17:28:32 gah, xchat is highlighting my own messages Apr 15 17:28:33 depends on wind, and usage at the time, radios, screen, cpu etc. Apr 15 17:28:42 I think it takes 1.5-2h Apr 15 17:28:53 lcuk, what about gravitational force? Apr 15 17:29:21 is there a way i can get xchat to always highlight BCMM, but not automatically highlight everything *said by* BCMM? Apr 15 17:30:05 sorry, that didn't make a great deal of sense Apr 15 17:30:27 this is a computer Apr 15 17:30:29 and this is my phone Apr 15 17:30:42 MohammadAG, the battery uses the accelerometer to compensate on the direciton of the electron flux flow Apr 15 17:30:57 to ensure the polarity of the warp core is aligned correctly Apr 15 17:31:07 or something like that Apr 15 17:31:08 lol Apr 15 17:31:38 lcuk, what if I'm at the north pole Apr 15 17:31:44 and have the charger in the south pole Apr 15 17:31:50 you have frozen nuts Apr 15 17:31:52 acccccccccelerometer. Apr 15 17:31:57 not magnetometer. Apr 15 17:32:00 ;P Apr 15 17:32:02 thats one long fuckin cord MohammadAG Apr 15 17:32:11 frals, extensions XD Apr 15 17:32:12 hmm Apr 15 17:32:14 much shorter if its been dug through Apr 15 17:32:32 what's the simplest way to look at accellerometer data? Apr 15 17:32:44 liqflow Apr 15 17:32:50 you can touch it too :D Apr 15 17:32:52 i mean, to just get three numbers in m/s Apr 15 17:32:53 BCMM: wiki.maemo.org should have excellent documentation if you want to use it for programming Apr 15 17:33:01 nah, just interested Apr 15 17:33:04 lcuk, umm, I meant it goes through the center of the earth Apr 15 17:33:14 i don't have one long enough to go around the globe Apr 15 17:33:19 what is available? Apr 15 17:33:22 three axes? Apr 15 17:33:30 * frals heads back to trying to wrap his head around BCD encoding and HPLMN Apr 15 17:33:33 liqacceltests Apr 15 17:33:51 and is there a rotation sensor, or does one just guess rotation from the direction of gravity? Apr 15 17:34:12 timeless: ping Apr 15 17:34:38 (or anyone else: kcan a proxy be used with browser in Scratchbox?) Apr 15 17:35:54 i have seen several password management things Apr 15 17:36:10 is there any way to integrate with or import from kwallet? Apr 15 17:36:31 bat charge time 3:30 according to Nokia specs in L1/2 Apr 15 17:37:40 during first ~60 minutes excessive power consumption of system will slow down charging, afterwards not Apr 15 17:38:22 * slonopotamus managed to drain battery faster than it charges Apr 15 17:38:31 *manages Apr 15 17:38:49 There is no absolute direction sensor, only the accel. Apr 15 17:38:59 that's quite possible especially when charging from PC host @ 500mA Apr 15 17:39:15 no, even stock n900 charger Apr 15 17:39:41 hmm that's bad. You really push it to the limits. Apr 15 17:40:07 huh .. how that? Apr 15 17:40:20 intensive cpu usage + wifi + bright screen = really fast battery drain. Apr 15 17:40:35 means 1.2A at least .. Apr 15 17:40:45 BQ24150 charger chip can supply 1050mA (@ 5V aiui). So that'd mean your system blasts out >5W Apr 15 17:41:25 well, under 100% cpu load n900 lives for 3 hours Apr 15 17:41:40 yeah it should melt :P Apr 15 17:41:54 nah, you obviously use GPRS or 3G quite a lot Apr 15 17:42:04 well, see the overclocker crowd Apr 15 17:42:09 * RST38h yawns at the moon Apr 15 17:42:10 even CPU shouldn't be able to suck that much power Apr 15 17:42:13 anyone fried his n900 yet? Apr 15 17:42:16 moo RST38h Apr 15 17:42:34 slono: how about the top temperature? Transmission seems to bring n900 to the boiling point Apr 15 17:42:38 javis: Heya indeed Apr 15 17:42:50 DocScrutinizer: using 3g while on charges is a strange thing :) since charger = wall = house = wifi hearby Apr 15 17:42:56 *nearby Apr 15 17:43:02 are there user reachable temperature sensors? Apr 15 17:43:17 tell the battery-graph author to integrate them :P Apr 15 17:43:18 cehteh: no, but some trolls electrocuted err -migrated their CPU to senility Apr 15 17:43:29 slonopotamus: ...you gonna install wifi in my car? :) Apr 15 17:43:34 that'd be sweet Apr 15 17:43:37 thanks :) Apr 15 17:43:58 Disconnect: you have 220v in your car? :) Apr 15 17:44:07 cehteh: you're talking gibberish Apr 15 17:44:07 slonopotamus: 110 actually, but yes. Apr 15 17:44:16 Disconnect: ricer! Apr 15 17:45:03 jeep. with an ac adapter in it for laptops and the wif's cell (since she lost the car charger). nice leap you made to that conclusion though, but next time be more careful - your pants fell down and your racism was showing.. Apr 15 17:45:23 you do 12v -> 110v -> 5v conversion. extremely ineffective Apr 15 17:45:37 or cars have 24? can't remember Apr 15 17:45:59 most have 12 Apr 15 17:46:09 * slonopotamus failed to get joke about racism Apr 15 17:46:41 * DocScrutinizer failed to get any joke Apr 15 17:47:24 slonopotamus: around here at least, ricer is slang for an asian with a lowered sticker-endowed civic or similar. hence the "rice" part. Apr 15 17:47:24 ~dict ricer Apr 15 17:47:27 Dictionary 'ricer' a kitchen utensil used for ricing soft foods by extruding them through small holes Apr 15 17:48:38 meh Apr 15 17:48:45 be more geeky Apr 15 17:48:47 * DocScrutinizer shrugs and wanders away for more intriguing stuff Apr 15 17:48:52 lol Apr 15 17:49:02 or die. Apr 15 17:49:12 Impressive. Apr 15 17:49:25 :) Apr 15 17:49:26 I get a maximum load of ~1.5A Apr 15 17:49:28 when i'm not driving a billboard i'll consider spending a few hundred on various laptop-to-car adapters for efficiency. until then, the ac adapters are $30 or so :) Apr 15 17:49:46 SpeedEvil: how? Apr 15 17:50:02 Recording video while sending file over 3G, and md5sum /dev/zero at the same time Apr 15 17:50:03 GPRS/3G full blast Apr 15 17:50:11 this survey was kinda lame. and it's buggy. Apr 15 17:50:26 Annoyingly, the camera mutes the media player - so I couldn't have that at full volume too Apr 15 17:51:09 hmm those accellerometer toys are fun Apr 15 17:51:24 but i was looking for something that would give me a value of little-g Apr 15 17:51:26 hmm - mplayer doesn't mute video player Apr 15 17:51:35 and allow me to determine which planet i'm on Apr 15 17:51:45 SpeedEvil: md5sum /dev/zero? and what value did you get? Apr 15 17:51:59 surely that would never return? Apr 15 17:52:04 BCMM cat /sys/whatever/coords - and it reads out x/y/z accel Apr 15 17:52:09 slonopotamus: do it and let me know Apr 15 17:52:13 isn't /dev/zero an infinite number of nulls Apr 15 17:52:14 ? Apr 15 17:52:19 yes Apr 15 17:53:20 * slonopotamus charges his n900 from TV :/ Apr 15 17:54:21 something's broken in this world Apr 15 17:55:05 I suspect using mplayer to record from the big camera, with flashlight on, while streaming a file to 3g, and md5sum of the mmc and sd, with fm transmitter on, fm radio on, and mplayer playing something loud to the speakers, with bounce running would be pretty much the maximum. Apr 15 17:55:11 Well - easy maximum Apr 15 17:55:25 overcomplicated Apr 15 17:55:39 just compile firefox Apr 15 17:55:48 that only does the CPU Apr 15 17:55:53 SpeedEvil, you forgot to connect your bt keyboard Apr 15 17:56:27 lcuk: yeah - that too - but bt won't add that much. wlan up too at the same time is hard with current software Apr 15 17:56:32 actually i drsin n900 battery in 2 hours with just browser + 3g. Apr 15 17:56:48 I'm sure under 1 hour is quite possible. Apr 15 17:56:50 god this encoding is silly Apr 15 17:57:10 frals: all encodings are silly Apr 15 17:57:31 use UTF-8. it's silly too, but at least works for everyone. Apr 15 17:57:42 speedevil: if you want to go faster you need to oc :D Apr 15 17:57:59 slonopotamus: in this case its BCD encoding of bytes, but yeah ^^ Apr 15 17:58:18 meh Apr 15 17:58:24 (1A5 power consumption) refer NOKIA_RX51_SM_L3_4.pdf, p170 (6 System Module, Energy Management, Power Distribution block diagram) Apr 15 17:58:58 frals: you were so excited talking about it so i googled wtf is bcd :) Apr 15 17:59:58 sorry scratch that, once again they managed to spoil it at lowest possible level of the game, electric current annotations mostly missing there Apr 15 18:06:23 * ShadowJK has seen 1100mA consumption Apr 15 18:06:56 anyone know what the n900's value of g is? Apr 15 18:07:14 g? Apr 15 18:07:48 the N900 itself probably has some atto-g Apr 15 18:08:09 ~answer Apr 15 18:08:10 42 Apr 15 18:08:13 hmm i assume it is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_gravity Apr 15 18:08:15 * ShadowJK makes a guess: 9.81m/s^2 Apr 15 18:08:15 there you have. Apr 15 18:08:24 timeless_mbp: my one-handed handle abuse survived just finr until 10m before home ;) Apr 15 18:08:34 * sp3000 had to switch ends Apr 15 18:08:35 if so, it's really pretty accurate... Apr 15 18:08:52 accurate enough to notice that UK gravity is slightly higher Apr 15 18:08:56 BCMM: it's not Apr 15 18:08:59 ShadowJK: that's earth's g Apr 15 18:09:04 not N900's Apr 15 18:09:21 DocScrutinizer: 9.81 is not correct for all parts of earth Apr 15 18:09:33 (9.8 is) Apr 15 18:09:36 BCMM: the accelleromedters are specified to +-20% or so sensitivity Apr 15 18:09:49 I guess n900's g would vary alot depending on where on its surface you were standing Apr 15 18:09:53 yeah, somewhere near core it's much less XP Apr 15 18:10:21 9.78 in jakarta Apr 15 18:10:35 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth's_gravity#Comparative_gravities_in_various_cities_around_the_world Apr 15 18:10:40 ShadowJK: correct :-D Apr 15 18:10:54 there is considerable variance between n900s Apr 15 18:11:44 ~question Apr 15 18:11:45 from memory, question is If you have a question and want people to give useful answers, make sure you have read this first: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html Apr 15 18:11:52 9.81 is basically a british exam board value Apr 15 18:12:22 ~answer Apr 15 18:12:23 42 Apr 15 18:12:24 sp3000: ouch Apr 15 18:13:10 BCMM: N900's g-sensor is a LIS302. Datasheet is publically available Apr 15 18:13:30 ah, looks like my value of 1008 is much, much higher than any earth value of g Apr 15 18:13:37 N900evil: btw N900 has just one accel Apr 15 18:13:44 eh? Apr 15 18:14:05 yes - variation between n900s Apr 15 18:14:50 BCMM: no, as you got no clue yet on what the unit of those 1008 actually is Apr 15 18:14:59 It has ... ARRIVED Apr 15 18:15:28 DocScrutinizer: i assumed it was 1000th of the international standard gravity Apr 15 18:15:34 it's nominally milligee Apr 15 18:15:44 BCMM: might be Apr 15 18:15:48 but measured very im.precisely Apr 15 18:16:13 so an error of 0.8% isn't bad Apr 15 18:16:20 DocScrutinizer: and it would still be wrong if it was, for some reason, calibrated for mexico city Apr 15 18:16:31 (one of the lowest-gravity places on earth) Apr 15 18:16:39 it is not calibrated Apr 15 18:16:44 oh, it's not bad at all Apr 15 18:16:53 It's so awesome Apr 15 18:16:54 it assumes a value of 18mg/bit. Apr 15 18:17:08 This varies in reality considerably. Apr 15 18:17:23 there is no per-sensor calibration Apr 15 18:17:33 i wonder how accurate it could be if you calibrated it Apr 15 18:17:43 see datasheet Apr 15 18:17:48 even roughly by using an accepted local value of g Apr 15 18:17:51 well it seems to be calibrated to -1000..1000 somehow Apr 15 18:17:59 it assumes a value of 18mg/bit. Apr 15 18:18:21 the spec is from 15 to 22 IIRC Apr 15 18:18:32 see datasheet see datasheetsee datasheetsee datasheet Apr 15 18:18:43 datasheetsee? Apr 15 18:18:46 RST38h: 1000 is supposed to be a g, you can go much higher by shaking it Apr 15 18:18:50 as in datashitsy? Apr 15 18:19:19 BCMM: +/2 or +/-8 iirc Apr 15 18:20:11 hmm Apr 15 18:20:20 i'd never throw something so expensive around Apr 15 18:20:50 but i am tempted to develop a script taht makes it scream if it detects freefall Apr 15 18:21:16 BCMM, play n900fly Apr 15 18:21:33 lcuk: is that the one that estimates flight time from a throw? Apr 15 18:21:48 hight Apr 15 18:21:57 same thing :) Apr 15 18:22:12 oh manh Apr 15 18:22:12 yep Apr 15 18:22:30 ~seen stskeeps Apr 15 18:22:33 stskeeps <~chobits@Maemo/community/distmaster/Stskeeps> was last seen on IRC in channel #meego, 1h 45m 18s ago, saying: 'after working a while with rpm, i'm fairly happy with it'.

Apr 15 18:25:06 in the past Apr 15 18:25:20 it's totally broken currently Apr 15 18:25:29 slonopotamus hm could you see dmesg output? Apr 15 18:25:46 woglinde: nope, not me Apr 15 18:26:03 hm okay Apr 15 18:26:18 I tried to get it working with kexec Apr 15 18:26:23 woglinde ? Apr 15 18:26:24 how do i type ~ in n900? Apr 15 18:26:28 so I can easily switch kernels Apr 15 18:26:37 haha Apr 15 18:26:42 ah stskeeps see my linux-omap questions Apr 15 18:26:47 dsster, fn+sym, double tap ~ from the thing that pops up Apr 15 18:27:00 if you tap it only once, and then press n, you get ñ Apr 15 18:27:01 slonopotamus but without kernel output I cannt see whats going wrong Apr 15 18:27:10 at least usbnet seems to work Apr 15 18:27:11 woglinde: yes, termana - there's a thread on talk.maemo.org Apr 15 18:27:11 ShadowJK: i doubt he has vkb while doing kexec Apr 15 18:27:20 ooh cool ty Apr 15 18:27:27 slonopotamus, I didn't know dsster was doing kexec? Apr 15 18:27:39 ah Apr 15 18:27:49 * slonopotamus messed up Apr 15 18:27:54 yes :P Apr 15 18:28:02 woglinde: the time it would take to port mainline or Linux-OMAP to N8x0 would cost me more than a N900 ;( Apr 15 18:28:17 termana's work seems pretty ok :P Apr 15 18:28:26 also, kexec is untested mostly AFAIK Apr 15 18:28:40 Stskeeps: I haven't checked it lately Apr 15 18:28:56 woglinde: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=48929 Apr 15 18:29:01 MeeGo hardware adaptation for N8x0?

Apr 15 19:10:28 you can use the file system Apr 15 19:10:35 it's just officially wrong to do so :) Apr 15 19:11:02 note that w/ maemo5 the accesspoint names are no longer gconf keys Apr 15 19:11:08 so you kinda need to use grep Apr 15 19:18:58 timeless_mbp, supposing i just have one Apr 15 19:19:11 its for personal use i just need to restore access point settings very often Apr 15 19:19:33 <_henke_> yo ppl Apr 15 19:19:46 hi henke Apr 15 19:20:29 anyone else looked at clutter-box2d? Apr 15 19:20:38 luke-jr still there? Apr 15 19:21:13 <_henke_> anyone using fish encryption in xchat ? Apr 15 19:21:21 <_henke_> i cant load the fish.so file Apr 15 19:21:25 <_henke_> says it cant find it Apr 15 19:21:40 <_henke_> but im pointing at it via gui Apr 15 19:21:57 <_henke_> anyone have any ideeas ? Apr 15 19:22:35 I dont have an aquarium Apr 15 19:22:47 <_henke_> why not woglinde ? :-) Apr 15 19:23:47 <_henke_> can i access the installation path of applications ? Apr 15 19:24:11 <_henke_> coz xchat prefers that u copy the plugins to its plugin dir Apr 15 19:24:19 fish.so is not an arm binary? Apr 15 19:24:20 _henke_, xchat on n900? Apr 15 19:24:30 because if so, the .so you have is likely not there Apr 15 19:24:30 <_henke_> lcuk yeah it works nicely Apr 15 19:24:44 because it will be built for x86 i bet Apr 15 19:24:47 you cannot just load x86 binary plugins Apr 15 19:24:53 <_henke_> ah okey Apr 15 19:24:55 would be fun if you could Apr 15 19:24:58 <_henke_> u got a point there Apr 15 19:25:24 IIRC someone looked at building for arm, and it was nasty. Apr 15 19:25:50 <_henke_> hmm really Apr 15 19:25:55 hallo??? Apr 15 19:26:00 <_henke_> that wasnt the news i wanted :-p Apr 15 19:26:11 <_henke_> but thanks for the heads up N900evil Apr 15 19:26:18 good luck. Apr 15 19:26:28 some germans here??

Apr 15 19:27:08 woglinde: no Apr 15 19:27:29 luke-jr I forgot the question anyway Apr 15 19:27:48 get a new kbd, your questionmark key is broken Apr 15 19:28:04 *sigh* kernel crashed again Apr 15 19:28:28 umm, any way to spoof a DNS?

Apr 15 19:32:25 trying to fake sony's DNS Apr 15 19:32:38 roland, what language? Apr 15 19:32:40 I debated if I wanted a phat or a slim decided to go with a slim Apr 15 19:32:43 german Apr 15 19:32:58 o.o Apr 15 19:33:00 so don't have this issue... though still sucks Apr 15 19:33:01 hurray Apr 15 19:33:04 it worked Apr 15 19:33:05 okay Apr 15 19:33:15 I can see the kexec menu Apr 15 19:33:19 ruskie, well, it's not a slim/phat issue Apr 15 19:33:21 okay Apr 15 19:33:25 it's the otheros Apr 15 19:33:31 MohammadAG, slim doesn't have otheros Apr 15 19:33:32 :) Apr 15 19:33:38 if you're on 3.15, you can install cfw to enable it Apr 15 19:33:45 ^ Apr 15 19:33:49 now I only need to integrate kexec on 33.1 Apr 15 19:33:54 MohammadAG, anyway have no wish for it Apr 15 19:33:59 you sound like you updated though Apr 15 19:34:04 @ ruskie Apr 15 19:34:05 hmmmmmm Apr 15 19:34:11 MohammadAG, there are some existing DNS servers that spoof it Apr 15 19:34:21 woglinde: 2.6-omap on n810? Apr 15 19:34:23 MohammadAG, so you just need to set them up in the PS3 and it should work Apr 15 19:34:36 ruskie, running linux without acceleration sucks, but I need it for homebrew (not piracy crap, against it) Apr 15 19:35:06 ruskie, they were blocked yesterday Apr 15 19:35:09 Inconsistency detected by ld.so: rtld.c: 1192: dl_main: Assertion `(void *) ph->p_vaddr == _rtld_local._dl_sysinfo_dso' failed!

Apr 15 19:37:20 woglinde: when everything works, than it makes no difference. Apr 15 19:37:42 johnsq plain vanilla has none kexec-arm stuff Apr 15 19:38:28 but I will try now the .config on git Apr 15 19:40:30 roland: second warning! Apr 15 19:40:33 johnsq could think is I can test the kernels without flashing Apr 15 19:40:53 flashers is good in that way Apr 15 19:40:58 ups flasher Apr 15 19:41:08 warning? why?

Apr 15 19:43:33 woglinde: it's linux-omap + patches, not vanilla Apr 15 19:43:41 yes I said this Apr 15 19:43:55 omap Apr 15 19:43:59 not vanilla Apr 15 19:44:07 vanilla + patches Apr 15 19:44:11 no Apr 15 19:44:12 omap + patches Apr 15 19:44:45 ~tell roland about question Apr 15 19:45:24 luke-jr Termanas 33.1 patches are against vanilla Apr 15 19:46:16 woglinde: it's impossible to get the display working with vanilla... Apr 15 19:46:32 unless his diff includes all of linux-omap, which would be insane Apr 15 19:47:47 luke-jr I am not lying Apr 15 19:47:54 please look at his patch Apr 15 19:48:02 maybee its whole linux-omap Apr 15 19:48:17 http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=604110&postcount=2 Apr 15 19:50:56 oh man just got the n900 seems all im doing is updating for the past hour :( Apr 15 19:58:19 woot 1.3ghz stable Apr 15 19:58:49 don't cook it Apr 15 19:58:49 lol just kidding i wont overclock my new n900 just yet :) Apr 15 19:58:59 or yourself Apr 15 19:59:00 In a week or so :) Apr 15 19:59:28 Overclocking the N900 seems a bit silly to me... Apr 15 19:59:36 it is completely silly Apr 15 19:59:49 this thing is a monster Apr 15 19:59:51 Though I suppose it might feasibly have a positive effect on the battery Apr 15 20:00:19 if power consumption increases slower than computing speed, that is Apr 15 20:00:22 that's undeclocking Apr 15 20:00:31 No, underclocking hurts battery life Apr 15 20:01:03 Because it takes more cycles to go to a lower frequency? Apr 15 20:01:20 I've read about that just a few days ago, makes sense i guess Apr 15 20:01:34 no -- because time spent working at a slower frequency is still taxing the battery Apr 15 20:01:47 much better to get the task out of the way quickly so the CPU can suspend nearly completely Apr 15 20:02:05 oh, yeah makes sense too Apr 15 20:02:25 http://mjg59.livejournal.com/88608.html Apr 15 20:04:00 btw, any idea why my n900 won't go lower then C1? complete fresh flashed Apr 15 20:09:35 aep: afaik it might just be the CPU that doesn't go into a less responsive state Apr 15 20:09:46 well it did when it was new Apr 15 20:10:18 hmh. Apr 15 20:15:23 that sounds silly Apr 15 20:16:40 aep: some things stop it Apr 15 20:17:02 aep: try as a first cut turning off wifi, and killing all apps but an xterm Apr 15 20:19:10 poertop Apr 15 20:19:20 powertop even Apr 15 20:23:09 dsster: toresbe: the whole topic is to be found when googling for 'run for idle', and SmartReflex is supposed to take care about optimizing to the sweetspot between long active periods with low clockfreq and short acticity bursts at high performance which take unproportionally more energy per cpu op Apr 15 20:24:06 together with cpufrq-governour and other sw and probably hw bits Apr 15 20:30:08 a kernel with low voltage and 500-850MHZ gives me the best battery performance Apr 15 20:30:45 the repository queue is broken again... Apr 15 20:33:06 t-tan: you got some graphs to support that? Apr 15 20:33:54 lol Apr 15 20:34:14 Hehe Apr 15 20:34:23 Shapeshifter: http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=609777&postcount=2686 Apr 15 20:34:32 I heard SmartReflex is broken. Is it, and how could this be fixed? Apr 15 20:34:45 BS Apr 15 20:35:05 yeah, "idle" time? Apr 15 20:35:45 Shapeshifter: Debug the causes for it not working. Apr 15 20:35:50 Shapeshifter: Fix them. Apr 15 20:35:51 t-tan: well. Could you do a more sane "idle" test with like, say, 2G always on, always online in some 3 jabber accounts with regular email checking? Apr 15 20:36:04 SpeedEvil: so it is broken? Apr 15 20:36:12 SpeedEvil: i did try all of this. there is nothing waking it up. it just refuses to go below C1. Apr 15 20:36:15 Shapeshifter: pay TI to fix it. Apr 15 20:36:17 Shapeshifter: Some devices are unstable. Apr 15 20:36:25 SpeedEvil: ahh, okay. Apr 15 20:36:58 unfortunately i lost the powertop binary for maemo :/ Apr 15 20:37:09 Shapeshifter: please try it yourself. the are zillions of scenarios and every user has a different usage pattern. find your optimum Apr 15 20:37:13 t-tan: I would personally be very cautious of believing what batterygraph is saying. Apr 15 20:37:22 t-tan: Especially extrapolations like that. Apr 15 20:37:23 s/the/there/ Apr 15 20:37:23 t-tan meant: Shapeshifter: please try it yourself. there are zillions of scenarios and every user has a different usage pattern. find your optimum Apr 15 20:37:54 ShadowJK has a tool that reads out the instantaneous current average over the last 5 seconds. Apr 15 20:38:05 This is - IME - a much more consistent tool. Apr 15 20:38:19 did someone already beat my 95h idle record? Apr 15 20:38:20 if what else should I trust? if all battery parameters tell me that the battery is hardly discharging... Apr 15 20:38:35 IME? Apr 15 20:38:44 Or rather - the cumulative average over the 5 second period Apr 15 20:38:51 In my Experience. Apr 15 20:38:58 where is that tool? Apr 15 20:39:19 * SpeedEvil pings ShadowJK. Apr 15 20:40:57 javispedro: take that: 26h active Apr 15 20:41:01 javispedro: you slept for 95h? ;-D Apr 15 20:41:15 active doing what? :P Apr 15 20:41:48 I've had ~30 hours or so on wifi + ssh +xchat Apr 15 20:42:20 t-tan: no, it was on Nokia Care for nearly a month and since I had all my data on the N810 and was lazy to pass it over I kept using the n810. Apr 15 20:42:27 It gets down to maybe a fifth of that in the most deepest sleep with wifi on but nothing running - xchat adds a fair amount Apr 15 20:43:59 we need some proper automatized battery benchmarks. BTW, LCD consumes most of the energy Apr 15 20:44:58 only on 100% Apr 15 20:45:06 javispedro: idle as in doing nothing and just being left alone? pretty sure i have that beat Apr 15 20:45:29 of my 26h, the LCD was on ~50%, though at very low brightness Apr 15 20:46:13 frals: idle with wi-fi, skype, 30 minute modest and on mostly 1-2 hours max. Apr 15 20:46:27 ah, negative on that :p Apr 15 20:46:46 skype was the worst offender IMO. Apr 15 20:46:56 forgot my dev device was on when i left, got back 4 days later and it was still on, but no wifi active during that time Apr 15 20:46:57 I should repeat that some day without skype. Apr 15 20:48:23 sersiously, I don't know what you're doing with your devices. The only way of getting to the end of the day without an empty battery is by not using the device. I get up in the morning at like 10:00 and go online on 4 jabber accounts. I go out of the house connecting to 2G and browsing the web at crawling speeds for half an hour. If I'd use 3.5G for half an hour, that would cost me at least like 10% battery. I occasionally check my ... Apr 15 20:48:29 ... mail during the day or send a few IMs and again browse the web on the way back. At 18:00, I have 25% left if everything worked well. Apr 15 20:48:49 yes, I am talking about not using. Apr 15 20:48:52 it. Apr 15 20:49:20 with 100% CPU and screen on (snes) I get top 3 hours and a bit Apr 15 20:49:21 the battery life is utter crap on the n900. I'd use it soo much more if the battery would last. Yeah ok I'll get another battery but seriously, all the people saying they're getting 30h out of it "having the screen on 50% of the time"..... you're not really using it, are you. Apr 15 20:49:45 javispedro: yeah same here with VGBA. Apr 15 20:50:03 Battery endurance:: Battery BL-5J // Capacity (mAh) 1320 // Talk time Up to 9 h (GSM) Up to 5 h (WCDMA) // Stand-by Up to 10 days GSM Up to 10 days WCDMA Apr 15 20:50:23 Shapeshifter: im not using any IM accounts, guess that why mine lasts me 2 days when "using" it Apr 15 20:50:24 9h talk time >.> Apr 15 20:50:34 I can believe 9h talk time Apr 15 20:50:41 frals: maybe, as it will be almost completely idle when you're not having the screen open Apr 15 20:50:45 ie browsing, always synced with mfe on day time Apr 15 20:50:58 frals: 3G? Apr 15 20:51:11 yeah Apr 15 20:51:13 3/3.5 Apr 15 20:51:25 t-tan: lcd doesn't use that much - backlight at high brightness is lots more Apr 15 20:51:31 frals: you're not using it... ^^ Apr 15 20:51:31 any app which switches automatically between 2g and 3g Apr 15 20:51:35 or well, the second evening i plug it in Apr 15 20:51:42 or any app which switches off automatically wifi when not used? Apr 15 20:51:51 Shapeshifter: i only use it while on the move, when im stationary i got my laptop ;) Apr 15 20:52:07 N900evil: I meant the backlight Apr 15 20:52:17 frals: sure. but if I enable 3G battery life drops significantly. I'm practially stuck with 2G just because of battery life Apr 15 20:52:22 Shapeshifter: ditch GSM and use Wi-Fi, and your browsing figures will be in half-days instead of hours. Apr 15 20:52:42 Shapeshifter: :< Apr 15 20:53:30 * noobmonk3y is backing up frals and fmms again............ in tmo...... i just dont get why other people can't read........ Apr 15 20:53:31 * javispedro can easily get 6-7 hours of browsing Wi-fi out of it, which is around n8x0 figures. First test I did... counting number of boring lectures ;P Apr 15 20:53:40 javispedro: at the university I only have wifi with VPN, and for some reason that is extremely unstable on the n900, unusable really. I connect to wlan, then use vpnc. I can browse for 2 minutes, then the wlan loses connection and then reconnects, but then I need to kill vpnc and rerun it. Apr 15 20:53:51 noobmonk3y: cheers - i cant be bothered much anymore Apr 15 20:53:59 hehe, with them, not fmms i hope ;) Apr 15 20:54:00 current with screen locked ca. 360, with 4/5: 1000, with 5/5: 1350 Apr 15 20:54:15 noobmonk3y: yes, with users, fmms i still have some things to be fixed in Apr 15 20:54:18 if wlan + vpn was stable, it would be another story, but it's unusable. Apr 15 20:54:21 hehe ;) Apr 15 20:54:23 *glances at teh ever-growing to do list* Apr 15 20:54:24 rockstable on my laptop btw. Apr 15 20:54:31 using vpnc as well. Apr 15 20:54:41 apt-get autoremove would remove kernel-maemo and kernel-modules-maemo. does this sound like a good idea? Apr 15 20:55:00 <_henke_> heffer no :-) Apr 15 20:55:06 heffer: if you have kernel-power-flasher installed, it's fine Apr 15 20:55:13 * DocScrutinizer gets really bored by all this "eeew my 600MHz CPU eats more power than my wristwatch! And why can't I TX data over GSM @ 2W TX power - with a battery load of not more than 200mW??" whining Apr 15 20:55:13 i knew it :) Apr 15 20:55:24 i have kernel-flasher-maemo Apr 15 20:55:33 but i purged that because i don't use it anymore Apr 15 20:55:38 is it okay to do so? Apr 15 20:55:49 * noobmonk3y looks at healthcheck...oh how i like the simple life ;) Apr 15 20:55:52 Shapeshifter: so, get your uni to change. I did that on mine when they were using expired certificates 5 years ago... Apr 15 20:56:11 did you reflash the stock kernel? Apr 15 20:56:18 * lcuk swaps with noobmonk3y for a day Apr 15 20:56:19 yes i did Apr 15 20:56:28 * lcuk has been checking health of things all day Apr 15 20:56:35 javispedro: sorry? It _does_ work flawlessly on my linux lap top with the same AP and same distance. just the n900 loses the connection after 2 minutes. Apr 15 20:56:36 as it is described in the package description Apr 15 20:56:47 check with uname -a Apr 15 20:56:53 my uname -a is: Linux Nokia-N900-51-1 2.6.28-omap1 #1 PREEMPT Thu Dec 17 09:40:52 EET 2009 armv7l unknown Apr 15 20:57:05 ok, remove it Apr 15 20:57:10 great. thanks Apr 15 20:57:22 * lcuk kicks mail client on ubumtu Apr 15 20:58:00 Shapeshifter: you're talking with a person that: a) When the Palm T|X didn't work with his uni's certificates he fixed his uni b) When the N810 didn't work with his Uni's PAP he fixed the N8x0 in what later took Nokia a year and a half (and still counting) to fix it. Apr 15 20:58:19 Wi-Fi _is_ this thing. Apr 15 20:58:28 thanks for your help guys. it's much appreciated! Apr 15 20:58:48 nite all, sweet dreams Apr 15 20:58:59 DocScrutinizer: but really, I don't think I'm expecting too much of a mobile device. 2h of 3G surfing, all day IM online and regular mail checking *should* be possible. If this, by design, is impossible, they pretty much failed at reaching a sane target. For all I care they should have stuck a fatter battery in it. clearly. ;) Apr 15 20:59:15 * frals kicks lcuks ubumty Apr 15 20:59:19 * frals kicks lcuks ubumtu* Apr 15 20:59:49 * javispedro passes a fedora livecd to lcuk Apr 15 20:59:52 * lcuk flashes frals machines Apr 15 21:00:18 * frals flashes lcuk's microSD Apr 15 21:00:44 * lcuk covers up his microsd Apr 15 21:01:21 Shapeshifter: you sound like my silly bosses sometimes - the device needs OLEDs! What? no idea where - oh there's no such thing like single OLEDs -shit! Apr 15 21:01:53 any wiki editors handy, or people who could cut and paste some stuff into a wiki page Apr 15 21:02:01 * javispedro would run out of money BEFORE running out of battery while browsing using 3g Apr 15 21:02:11 want all pictures from a thread making into a wiki page Apr 15 21:02:33 you could make the page first then leave formatting for latter Apr 15 21:02:35 http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=612433&postcount=229 Apr 15 21:02:35 *later Apr 15 21:02:37 DocScrutinizer: mh? Apr 15 21:02:52 ah. Apr 15 21:02:54 yes javis but that takes concentration i havent got Apr 15 21:03:07 mind is over there <<<<<<<< watching updates and stuff Apr 15 21:03:29 Shapeshifter: short version: World peace and intergalactical travels *should* be possible! Apr 15 21:04:07 hm when I define a static struct in .c file how can I use the struct in another file Apr 15 21:04:12 DocScrutinizer: are you saying my expectations are unreasonable for a "mobile computer"? Apr 15 21:04:19 yes Apr 15 21:04:25 * SpeedEvil1 sighs at stupid broken forums. Apr 15 21:04:45 Is there a way to get all the posts in a thread on one page? Apr 15 21:04:48 :( Apr 15 21:05:01 woglinde_, you define the struct in a header Apr 15 21:05:09 and declare the instance of that struct to be static Apr 15 21:05:14 SpeedEvil1, settings, but you'll never get all posts Apr 15 21:05:28 Shapeshifter: see, 'all day IM online" tends to be no difference to "all day surfing over 3G" Apr 15 21:05:32 then a copy would be included on every file Apr 15 21:05:33 your method of "static struct { ... } blah;" is afaik a private struct Apr 15 21:05:42 no javispedro thats not what i said Apr 15 21:05:46 a struct takes no memory Apr 15 21:05:48 is not data Apr 15 21:05:54 its a definition Apr 15 21:06:01 lcuk hm I wonder why it worked in earlier kernel Apr 15 21:06:07 it works Apr 15 21:06:13 but afaik you cant share the definition for it Apr 15 21:06:13 DocScrutinizer: mh I guess you're right. Apr 15 21:06:13 lol lcuk Apr 15 21:06:15 a definition cannot be static ... Apr 15 21:06:27 really wanna swap with me for a day, i had a meeting from 9am - 5pm today :| Apr 15 21:06:29 the scope breaks it Apr 15 21:06:36 (whilst ircing on the n900 at times) Apr 15 21:06:38 static [variable]; Apr 15 21:06:48 where [variable] == privately declared struct Apr 15 21:07:08 im still working noobmonk3y go figure Apr 15 21:07:10 noobmonk3y: i was trying to learn how cachememories works from 12-14 then i gave up and went home Apr 15 21:07:11 * SpeedEvil1 ponders using http://new.music.yahoo.com/will-smith/tracks/summertime--2041029 as a teaching aid. Apr 15 21:07:14 lol lcuk Apr 15 21:07:28 frals, - you lost me at "learn" Apr 15 21:07:33 :D Apr 15 21:07:36 :P Apr 15 21:08:32 http://www.diginfo.tv/2009/11/12/09-0337-r-en.php likes this idea. Apr 15 21:09:01 Shapeshifter: if you want better battery endurance, you don't want a more bulky device - rather you want smarter apps with better power conserving design Apr 15 21:09:26 hoho my N900 has better speakers than my ThinkPad X200 Apr 15 21:09:37 in fact, the X200 even has only one speaker :) Apr 15 21:09:59 Shapeshifter: not impressed. 50ml and only two weeks standby for a feature phone? Apr 15 21:10:05 and sometimes you can't do things smarter - as the outside world doesn"t cooperate Apr 15 21:10:24 javispedro: the fact that recharing it takes a few seconds is interesting. Apr 15 21:10:29 does the n900 still have that issue with wifi + bluetooth? Apr 15 21:10:39 For example - you would ideally want to be able to group all IM activity so it only hit in batches every minute. Apr 15 21:10:59 And wifi powersaving only works with routers that support it Apr 15 21:11:01 SpeedEvil1: bouncer/proxy then Apr 15 21:11:12 DocScrutinizer: yes - that's a partial answer Apr 15 21:11:26 DocScrutinizer: that's the apple approach afaiu (single server for notifications) Apr 15 21:11:41 yup, think so Apr 15 21:12:11 aha, a phone producing CO2. Apr 15 21:12:16 you really want it deeper into the system than that. Apr 15 21:12:18 If you can. Apr 15 21:12:42 on N900 you can Apr 15 21:12:46 mostly Apr 15 21:13:05 For example, applications batching timers so that if the app doesn't care about exact value of timer, several apps timers are fired at once. Apr 15 21:13:53 Shapeshifter: listen!! Apr 15 21:14:08 I'm pretty sure there's a framework for that already Apr 15 21:14:15 in fact there's at the second granularity Apr 15 21:14:22 DocScrutinizer: I'm listening Apr 15 21:15:34 Shapeshifter: timers sounds like your favourite pet recently Apr 15 21:15:44 but yeah, second granularity is too high these days. apps should be grouped at minutes, etc. Apr 15 21:15:57 DocScrutinizer: ;) Apr 15 21:16:23 args Apr 15 21:16:28 this seems a sed error Apr 15 21:16:57 Shapeshifter: see now why I pushed for an 'API', even a simple cmdline API Apr 15 21:19:00 DocScrutinizer: well in my case it would just be interesting to get telepathy to batch/burst the connection. Apr 15 21:19:52 Shapeshifter: implement 3 additional parameters for time? absolute skew in millisec, freq relative error for periodic events, max jitter Apr 15 21:20:49 nanosec Apr 15 21:21:17 probably microsec actually Apr 15 21:21:34 k, us is fine Apr 15 21:21:36 DocScrutinizer: heh. I just asked in telepathy. the guy said that the connect independently (jabber accounts), but also: Apr 15 21:21:39 23:20 < smcv > Shapeshifter: the N900 has some cleverness to have all the Jabber connections wake the device up at the same time, but I think that's mostly in the kernel, i.e. not our problem :-) Apr 15 21:22:35 Shapeshifter: anyway I'm talking bout alarmed Apr 15 21:23:51 DocScrutinizer: yeah I could do that. Apr 15 21:25:42 *sigh* Apr 15 21:25:48 this cost me 2 hours Apr 15 21:25:51 to understand Apr 15 21:26:13 but now fixed Apr 15 21:26:15 * lcuk gets woglinde_ a coffee Apr 15 21:26:28 but the patch got an ack Apr 15 21:26:41 the patch who breaked it Apr 15 21:26:55 linux-omap Apr 15 21:26:57 f778a12dd33200513596a0d4d3ba4d5f09e79c09 Apr 15 21:27:42 I see the static struct _declaration_ there. Apr 15 21:28:00 hm Apr 15 21:28:06 kernel seems not to boot Apr 15 21:28:27 - rfbi.dss_ick = clk_get(rfbi.fbdev->dev, "ick"); Apr 15 21:28:28 + rfbi.dss_ick = clk_get(&dispc.fbdev->dssdev->dev, "ick"); Apr 15 21:28:43 dispc is only defined in dispc.c Apr 15 21:30:13 Shapeshifter: plus a parameter --system and a checkbox "[ ] Show system events", so you can by default hide away system level timer events from user/GUI Apr 15 21:31:13 hm hm so I have to backport kexec stuff to 33.1 Apr 15 21:33:18 oh is in there Apr 15 21:33:19 okay Apr 15 21:33:42 GAN900: the part of yesterday's twitter where it says"Palm came up with a device using Nokia's maemo code, before Nokia was ready to rollout", that gave a decent laugh Apr 15 21:33:48 * DocScrutinizer bbl Apr 15 21:34:18 Yeah Apr 15 21:36:12 * Jaffa *assumes* that's talking about upstream patches rather than libhildon or something Apr 15 21:40:46 kernel, primarily Apr 15 21:40:57 and the comment was intended to be humorous Apr 15 21:41:45 and an example of one of the things you have to cope with working with open source Apr 15 21:42:26 any maemo.org website gurus in here? :) Apr 15 21:42:31 they're also using gst-openmax, etc. Apr 15 21:42:46 BlueZ Apr 15 21:43:13 wb MohammadAG Apr 15 21:43:25 ty o.O Apr 15 21:46:16 * javispedro now reads that they tried to bring GAN to the dark side by giving him a free nexus one Apr 15 21:46:24 Didn't work! Apr 15 21:46:48 amateurs. Apr 15 21:46:54 I haven't stuck my SIM in it, but I haven't been impressed poking around so far. Apr 15 21:47:14 Too bad Nokia didn't announce free N900s at Ari's talk. . . . Apr 15 21:47:33 he. Apr 15 21:48:04 They should. Free Droids given to potential MeeGo-developers is never a good thing :) Apr 15 21:48:21 Yeah Apr 15 21:48:25 Lotta N900s here Apr 15 21:48:36 More Nexus Ones today. ;) Apr 15 21:48:49 see, the dark side won already. Apr 15 21:49:04 mass blend! Apr 15 21:49:33 SpeedEvil, yeah, that's what I said yesterday. Apr 15 21:49:42 oh. Apr 15 21:49:50 * SpeedEvil wasn't paying close attention. Apr 15 21:49:57 * javispedro starts looking for cheap android devices in preparation for the soon massive "switch" Apr 15 21:51:08 http://www.lainterfaz.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/alienware-concepto-celular-android.jpg first hit here when googling "cheap android phone" :) Apr 15 21:52:00 javispedro: hahahahaha Apr 15 21:52:07 Alienware gear looks horrendous Apr 15 21:52:35 It's Kosh! Apr 15 21:52:37 In a phone! Apr 15 21:52:55 did I see an angel fleeing out of it?

Apr 15 22:21:56 nvm Apr 15 22:22:08 frals, auto config for fmms? Apr 15 22:22:08 frals: Have the UI random for each user, and then tweak it via a genetic algorithm from people that don't uninstall immediately. Apr 15 22:22:18 lcuk: yeah Apr 15 22:22:56 good good Apr 15 22:23:15 i like the genetic algorithm aspect Apr 15 22:23:24 SpeedEvil, thats a nice idea Apr 15 22:23:37 strange scrolling isn't workimg Apr 15 22:23:47 crazyhorses: ? Apr 15 22:24:00 irssi on n900 Apr 15 22:24:12 SpeedEvil: sounds pretty good, gonna go for it! Apr 15 22:24:12 how are you trying to scroll? Apr 15 22:24:16 :) Apr 15 22:24:19 usually ctrl + p/n Apr 15 22:24:39 crazyhorses: it's possibly not bound?

Apr 15 22:31:51 hey guys can i get some feedback on design or http://wiki.maemo.org/QtRuby . I plan to add essentially lesson 2 this weekend.

Apr 15 22:33:39 "operator-wizard-settings" is the package Apr 15 22:33:46 and "dpkg -S /filename" Apr 15 22:33:58 ty! Apr 15 22:34:06 javispedro: i had no idea what i was doing. I looked at the code for other wikis to get a semi clue.

Apr 15 22:38:42 Reason why I ask is I've gotten no questions or comments about qtruby. I would think there would be atleast some people interested in qtruby on the n900. Am I just wierd for thinking more ppl would be interested in this?

Apr 15 22:43:27 sounds reasonably expected obviously not trivial Apr 15 22:43:48 its really easy, which is why its so boring Apr 15 22:43:52 perhaps not the sort of thing to start at this time of night Apr 15 22:44:08 I can't be bothered to start some work I was planning to do Apr 15 22:44:23 in which case I should just go to bed Apr 15 22:44:32 ~curse drinking caffeine in the evening Apr 15 22:44:37 lardman: plan is to be up as late as possible so im absolutely knackered tomorrow when im suppose to learn more about cache memories and what not Apr 15 22:44:48 :) Apr 15 22:44:54 blame it on iceland Apr 15 22:44:58 I have a day of testing tomorrow Apr 15 22:45:04 yes, blame iceland, indeed Apr 15 22:45:13 today has been a testing day for me also Apr 15 22:45:17 and will continue tomorrow too Apr 15 22:45:26 IR cameras too? ;) Apr 15 22:45:28 testing waht?

Apr 15 23:17:02 I was surprised that there were that many applications in our repositories. Apr 15 23:17:12 I would have guessed 500 at most. Apr 15 23:17:22 why I need a hibernate function: Apr 15 23:17:32 you'll find out in 5 minutes Apr 15 23:17:46 battery.reporting.current = 5 (0x5) (int) Apr 15 23:17:54 How can TI sell the eZ430-Chronos for only US$49? Apr 15 23:17:55 The eZ430-Chronos kit is intended to be an attractive development kit and is not intended to be a consumer product. Texas Instruments and the partner companies are sponsoring components or services to increase the accessibility of flexible and innovative development systems to a broader audience. Consumer products usually retail for higher prices. Apr 15 23:18:39 it does not look like an expensive watch. Apr 15 23:25:29 well it looks pretty much like a watch, given it's a MSP430 uC devel kit Apr 15 23:26:08 4k RAM 32k flash Apr 15 23:26:15 Damn, where's lbt when you have an answer to his question. Apr 15 23:26:35 Timeline for arch discussion seems to be the November Summit Apr 15 23:26:46 it would be much interesting with a ~ 64x64 matrix lcd (and much expensive and with less battery life, though) Apr 15 23:27:16 low batt Apr 15 23:27:20 going down, brb Apr 15 23:27:23 hehe Apr 15 23:27:30 hmm ok, specs say 96 segment display Apr 15 23:28:28 javispedro: actually with 44GPIO it's a bit hard to drive a 64^2, without additional driver chips etc Apr 15 23:28:54 9 digits x 7 + some symbols (I guess) << 96 segments Apr 15 23:29:06 yeah, maybe 64² too much Apr 15 23:29:10 hi all Apr 15 23:29:34 hi Apr 15 23:29:39 dneary: o/ Apr 15 23:30:20 oh, pressure sensor.
