**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sat Apr 17 02:59:56 2010 Apr 17 03:05:14 yes Apr 17 04:06:43 somehow, I believe some people need to actually read what they send to print http://www.amazon.com/Cooking-Pooh-Cookie-Cutters-Adventures/dp/1570822611 Apr 17 04:07:54 the comments on that page are excellent though Apr 17 04:08:30 Page 6, "Two tigers one cup" ??? Apr 17 04:09:05 http://www.amazon.com/Daddy-Didnt-Albert-Whitman-Prairie/dp/0807535265 lmao Apr 17 04:13:07 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l641JZwsQVU Apr 17 04:17:10 mpf, angry birds is still at 1.1.0 while 1.2.1 has been released Apr 17 05:14:44 Hi, I have several questions related to the easy debian chroot. First, it seems that I did something with the sudoers - 'debbie' asks me for password. How to fix it? Apr 17 05:19:58 well I think Ive done something useless Apr 17 05:20:21 compiled a starcraft battlenet server for the n900 Apr 17 05:20:37 Now my phone is a mobile tournament server Apr 17 05:21:40 dotblank: oo Apr 17 05:22:00 that might be useless, but awesome Apr 17 05:22:44 now I all I need to do is make a script arp poison intercept DNS requests and redirect useast.battle.net to my phones IP address Apr 17 05:22:57 im confused, im trying to install a package in apt-get ... but it keeps reminding me of another package i tried to install using dpkg .. how can i clear it? Apr 17 05:22:58 simple right? Apr 17 05:23:35 dotblank: what about the wifi? Apr 17 05:23:39 you may be able to force the install Apr 17 05:23:52 LuciusMare, well performance on wifi will be slow Apr 17 05:23:53 You would need to duct tape the phone to the antenne to get a reasonable speed Apr 17 05:24:07 better Idea Apr 17 05:24:20 create an AP called starcraft Apr 17 05:24:34 have people connect to it Apr 17 05:24:44 ah but is wifi fast enough Apr 17 05:25:19 Then my router is composed of spare parts Apr 17 05:26:17 The best solution would be to host a webserver that has a php script to automatically generate a .reg file that changes the bnet gateways to that of the phone Apr 17 05:26:37 now is php ported? Apr 17 05:27:29 or is the apache compilied for the n900 have mod_python/ Apr 17 05:29:05 but wit a minute, I thought starcraft is closed source and win only... Apr 17 05:29:14 s/wit/wait/ Apr 17 05:29:44 what i can do to swap mmcblk0 for mmcblk1 ? udev rules? Apr 17 05:30:12 well there is a open source bnet clone that is compatible with blizzards sc2 Apr 17 05:30:18 sc1* Apr 17 05:30:32 oo, cool Apr 17 05:30:44 but only the server, right? Apr 17 05:30:53 its also a warcraft III and diablo server Apr 17 05:30:56 yes Apr 17 05:31:20 :( Apr 17 05:31:55 whats cool is you can make an app control the bnet server and create ladders or brackets for an event from your phone Apr 17 05:32:56 you could also make it watch the progress of games... then if you wanted to get really really fancy Apr 17 05:33:35 you could load the sc1 client with replay stream client and then send it to a headless windows VM with a vnc server and it would allow you to "watch" matches in realtime from your phone Apr 17 05:34:11 *dumb smile* Apr 17 05:34:22 replay stream client? Apr 17 05:34:52 yea ICCup has a launcher that will enable realtime streaming of matches Apr 17 05:35:04 native to the games replay format Apr 17 05:35:51 by the way, when we're on virtual machines... Apr 17 05:37:03 I had this warm feeling when I ran kvm on my n900, ran a little linux in it, and connected to it from my friends house with vnc Apr 17 05:37:26 ^^ Apr 17 05:37:31 you ran KVM on the n900 Apr 17 05:37:42 hurr Apr 17 05:37:49 I don't think the n900 has hardware extensions for VMs or is it software Apr 17 05:37:56 Hi! Is there at least an R5RS Scheme for Maemo 5? Apr 17 05:38:49 Or was it the easy debian chroot? I am not sure, I was kinda playing with both things at once Apr 17 05:39:06 sounds like a debian arm chroot Apr 17 05:39:23 Probably yes Apr 17 05:52:05 OpenVZ should work on ARM :P Apr 17 05:58:31 has marble been releasde for the n900? Apr 17 06:01:10 i love it when an unmodified project says "Building with Maemo GPS support" Apr 17 06:05:05 dotblank: cortex a8 has hypervisor stuff, I don't really remember the name for it though Apr 17 06:05:22 not in use with n900 I bet... Apr 17 06:06:38 trustzone Apr 17 06:06:58 so im 60% into building marble... no errors yet Apr 17 06:07:55 kirma: hypervisor doesn't need hardware stuff Apr 17 06:09:21 oh well, technically it can live without it Apr 17 06:23:06 Hi, can i trigger the auto-focus,whit balance... from shell? Apr 17 06:29:53 LuciusMare: you have the same impression like me? Apr 17 06:30:00 that pictures are too bright ? Apr 17 06:33:37 http://s06.radikal.ru/i179/1004/22/e9dbd14be59f.jpg Apr 17 06:40:06 Gh0sty: sorta, actually, I made it take a photograph every x seconds, and since it starts at night, and day gets brighter, soon there is nothing but white area instead of the photo Apr 17 06:57:19 LuciusMare: you don't want AWB for timelapse Apr 17 06:57:52 LuciusMare: AWB will absolutely ruin your timeline -- nothing will make sense Apr 17 06:57:56 hast anybody ever watched a video with zoutube? Apr 17 06:58:22 doesn't work here. I only see the throbber, when I click on a video. Apr 17 06:59:38 hmm I just made a package I was wondering how to optify it Apr 17 07:00:03 maemo-optify-deb doesn't exist in my sratch box Apr 17 07:00:05 crashanddie: why so? Apr 17 07:00:21 LuciusMare: hang on, give me 5 minutes and I'll digg up a video that demonstrates this Apr 17 07:00:41 crashanddie: i am not talking about 5 second intervals, i mean something around 10 minutes Apr 17 07:00:50 yeah, doesn't matter Apr 17 07:01:07 but okay, so how to solve it? Apr 17 07:01:27 If i auto at day, i'll see nothing at night and vice versa... Apr 17 07:01:28 LuciusMare: I have quite a lot of experience with time lapse, I build my rigs to move the camera and take pictures at specific intervals Apr 17 07:01:57 LuciusMare: well, AWB changes the "white balance" Apr 17 07:02:15 but your white balance doesn't really change, because you're not going from inside to outside, etc Apr 17 07:02:36 (white balance defines how "white" the light is, it doesn't define exposure or anything) Apr 17 07:03:07 hello Apr 17 07:03:17 the only thing you should be modifying the exposure and ISO setting, preferably manually, or scripted, auto is bad Apr 17 07:03:20 hey Macer Apr 17 07:03:41 hi Apr 17 07:03:58 another glorious night. any word on the n910 yet? Apr 17 07:04:44 hm, right. Apr 17 07:04:46 Yes, it will run WebOS =) Apr 17 07:04:47 Thank you Apr 17 07:04:49 * RST38h hides Apr 17 07:04:55 RST38h: hahhaa Apr 17 07:05:05 is webos any good? Apr 17 07:05:42 i still cant believe they chose that name.. like it is 1992 or something Apr 17 07:07:42 LuciusMare: there's multiple techniques used to cheat the exposure -- some will use two cameras, very close to each other, one setup for night, the other for day, some will make two passes with the same camera, completely manual, once for night, and once for day, and then just blend both sources in post-prod Apr 17 07:10:50 yeah, usually decent cameras have bracketing habilities Apr 17 07:12:41 Corsac: bracketing is useless for timelapse Apr 17 07:18:27 LuciusMare: I'm guessing you'd like to achieve something like this: http://vimeo.com/3292216 ? The problem with that is that well... It's "shaky" because of the auto-exposure Apr 17 07:19:29 There is no plan for a faster CPU? Apr 17 07:20:28 i mistakenly tried to connect to a wireless network (presumably ad-hoc) on a train from my n900 Apr 17 07:20:39 now it always shows on the list of possible network connections Apr 17 07:20:49 can i make it forget about it? Apr 17 07:21:18 is libqt4-webkit not optified Apr 17 07:22:07 BCMM: delete it in the network dialog Apr 17 07:22:50 thanks Apr 17 07:23:24 oh hadn't looked at that before Apr 17 07:23:46 presumably that lets you create an ad-hoc or use a hidden network Apr 17 07:26:00 Ugh Apr 17 07:26:18 can't install libqt4-webkit.... it uses too much on rootfs Apr 17 07:26:22 GAH! Apr 17 07:31:28 LuciusMare: Here is a good example of what can be achieved by correctly choosing the exposure: http://vimeo.com/10010904 Apr 17 07:31:46 LuciusMare: btw, if you want to get serious about timelapsing, may I suggest a real camera? Apr 17 07:58:55 can one import an email address book for use with the built-in email? Apr 17 08:09:33 awesome Apr 17 08:13:58 dotblank: hmm? Apr 17 08:14:14 BCMM: sure, you can import gmail contacts for example Apr 17 08:14:25 crashanddie: thanks Apr 17 08:14:33 already found the option to import vcards Apr 17 08:16:05 crashanddie, oh just built a package for PVPgn on arm Apr 17 08:16:31 now I have a battle.net server on my n900 Apr 17 08:18:35 :D Apr 17 08:18:43 "anyone wanna play some diablo?"

Apr 17 08:40:42 If they had named it the n900 eXtreme Apr 17 08:40:52 I would have bought it when it was released Apr 17 08:41:30 bad marketing decision by nokia. Everybody knows a capital X is needed for cool things to buy Apr 17 08:41:40 Like... n900X Apr 17 08:42:18 Sts.. I was honestly holding out hope that mer would be just like maemo5 on my n810 Apr 17 08:42:21 ;-) Apr 17 08:42:35 With gles support and all hehe Apr 17 08:42:39 mm Apr 17 08:43:25 But now the n810 is ancient and has a layer of dust I can use to weave a quilt with Apr 17 08:43:43 I should hook it up to a stereo as an mp3 player Apr 17 08:43:53 Or ogg!

Apr 17 10:31:21 2101 Apr 17 10:31:32 :D Apr 17 10:31:51 yup, but would assume if they made changes recently a newer version should be seen soon Apr 17 10:32:38 noobmonk3y sometimes, not always Apr 17 10:33:06 well, they may do now but i've seen hardware revisions of previous phone models that never had the revision number altered Apr 17 10:33:17 the guy needs to get the phone and check it to find out, tho :P Apr 17 10:34:40 sadly I cant see any changes to the n900 being retrofittable though :P Apr 17 10:35:42 you can in principle swap out the CPU Apr 17 10:35:50 not an end-user one thoguh Apr 17 10:35:51 :D Apr 17 10:36:05 * MohammadAG gets his i5 out of his PC Apr 17 10:36:12 ah, autoconfiguration seems to eb working \o/ Apr 17 10:36:17 replacing the usb and phone connectors with stronger ones isnt exactly doable though :P Apr 17 10:36:21 hmm, it should fit under the battery Apr 17 10:36:31 noobmonk3y: I wouldn't expect it to be nesceserraly user-visible changes Apr 17 10:36:47 unlike the e90 hardware revision where you could just drop the original phone into a nokia care point and theyd put on the revised keyboard and hinges for you in about 20 minutes :p Apr 17 10:37:00 nid0: Changing the glue, or the glue-up procedure on the port however is Apr 17 10:38:52 noobmonk3y: For example - it might be swapping out the front cam for a cheaper one. Or going with a different SoC, or ... Apr 17 10:39:10 (where different = different speedgrade or different flash amount) Apr 17 10:39:39 that seems unlikely for a hardware revision of the same model though, usually theyre just tweaks to the manufacturing process to address durability issues Apr 17 10:39:48 :D Apr 17 10:40:01 ....456778888890;;.,,lmllmlmjjijyggffssaw3uop;\.,,,lkjjhjdxzzxhttp://shop.ebay.co.uk/i.html?LH_AvailTo=3&_nkw=high+voltage+relay&_arm=1&_armm=63&_ruu=http://shop.ebay.co.uk/i.html%3F_nkw%3Dhigh%2Bvoltage%2Brelay%26_arr%3D1&_rdc=1 Apr 17 10:40:02 oops Apr 17 10:40:11 is there any good way to add help text to something gtk/hildon?

Apr 17 13:59:23 my problem is that if i update the picture and the phone is in portrait mode, the background will be chopped off Apr 17 14:01:00 oh ffs, there's the self-promoting asshole again Apr 17 14:03:05 me? Apr 17 14:05:42 Why is it that a 'normal' phone doesn't have to change APN to send/receive MMS? Apr 17 14:06:31 n900-dk: It does. You (normally) have two seperate APNs for Data and MMS. Apr 17 14:06:54 so the magic is just hidding for me? Apr 17 14:07:13 Rephrase? Apr 17 14:07:40 corecode_: nope, not you, some guy on tmo Apr 17 14:07:42 I mean - I dont see it like I do with fMMS Apr 17 14:07:47 corecode_: unless you're Lord Raiden, obviously Apr 17 14:09:33 n900-dk: I don't own an n900 and don't know the state of MMS. However a "normal" phone will store both a data and MMS APN. Maybe because fMMS has no core integration into the OS, it makes you change the data APN and reads that? I don't know Apr 17 14:09:58 is this field valid? XB-Maemo-Display-Name Apr 17 14:10:12 no, linux cant handle two ip namespaces, so mms is difficult Apr 17 14:10:21 newer kernels can Apr 17 14:10:35 Termana: I guess you are right Apr 17 14:10:39 Build a newer kernel from scratch with N900 support :P Apr 17 14:10:48 undervolting seems to work for me, but not with 800MHz Apr 17 14:11:51 This is basically whats causing your problem: http://bit.ly/c65fgR Apr 17 14:14:39 the swing is not swinging? Apr 17 14:14:48 heh, guess we cant blame everything on the ashclouds then Apr 17 14:15:18 * MohammadAG_ looks at what tmo has been reduced to http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=50165 Apr 17 14:15:24 corecode_: Theres a lot more than just the swing not swinging my friend :P Apr 17 14:16:39 no coffee?

Refuse to work with idiots, I'll go sleep." and then there was the shutdown-command .... funny and not that big deal ... unless my boss hitted the shortcut in a big meeting and laptop connected to videoscreen Apr 17 14:53:35 sorry my english sucks ...

I have to say I am not too impressed with the video though Apr 17 15:25:55 hmm Apr 17 15:26:01 jacekowski: but only because I have seen "live wallpaper" on Nexus One and that looked really cool, and VERY smooth Apr 17 15:26:30 well, it's still early phase Apr 17 15:26:37 lot of room for improvments Apr 17 15:26:38 mtnbkr, baseline app Apr 17 15:26:54 different methods for things will appear Apr 17 15:27:07 same for everything else, multiple ways to skin a cat Apr 17 15:28:07 lcuk: yeah, I hear that... Not trying to disparage any development or any devs. Apr 17 15:28:34 it's hildon-desktop that's dealing with wallpapers in maemo? Apr 17 15:28:37 * lcuk thinks vlad and wazds streetviews will be cool Apr 17 15:28:45 especially when they add real weather i nit Apr 17 15:29:19 * slonopotamus pokes X-Fade Apr 17 15:31:48 X-Fade: reupload for autocleaned version doesn't work: https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9902 Apr 17 15:31:51 Bug 9902: Autocleaner purged _all_ versions of sflphone-client-gnome from extras-devel Apr 17 15:33:24 saying 'there's a newer version' when repo has _none_ is kinda... broken. Apr 17 15:33:50 mtnbkr: cpu in n900 is more than enough to handle something like that Apr 17 15:34:12 can anybody check whats my n800 available from outside? tmr.dyndns.org Apr 17 15:35:41 * tmr.dyndns.org/live Apr 17 15:35:47 tmr: of course not Apr 17 15:36:03 http://i023.radikal.ru/1004/93/64e10b626800.png <- matrix LW in progress :) Apr 17 15:36:09 tmr1: it works Apr 17 15:36:11 sad Apr 17 15:36:16 tmr: Your record is pointing to 192.168.0.105 which is your local address Apr 17 15:36:29 Oh, wait, it resolved somehow =) Apr 17 15:36:44 tmr1: there is still something that points to 192.168.0.105 Apr 17 15:36:52 wazd: ...and the same in cyrillics ;) Apr 17 15:37:11 RST38h: heard bout Live Wallpapers? :) Apr 17 15:37:31 wazd: Yea, but I am not quite amused about them - too much power drain =( Apr 17 15:37:45 RST38h: well, they work only when you're looking at them :) Apr 17 15:38:16 RST38h: ofcourse they'll drain a bit more than jpg file :D Apr 17 15:39:00 RST38h: I'm working on the matrix "text rain" animation for them :) Apr 17 15:39:26 warp10: i was thinking about same thing Apr 17 15:39:29 wazd: is it a bunch of jpegs? Apr 17 15:39:49 RST38h: nope, ofcourse not, am I mad? :D Apr 17 15:39:55 tmr1: What do you want to know from the status2k page? Apr 17 15:40:05 wazd: I have been thinking of implementing the eSheep on top of that Apr 17 15:40:20 RST38h: a bit like flash animation, keyframes and stuff Apr 17 15:40:24 ah Apr 17 15:40:41 n900-dk, nothing, just demo Apr 17 15:40:50 wazd: Check this out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ESheep Apr 17 15:41:10 wazd: any inspiration? =) Apr 17 15:41:34 n900-dk: n800 running debian apache mysql php, demo Apr 17 15:41:42 RST38h: oh, I've used it long ago :D Apr 17 15:41:48 RST38h: pretty cute :) Apr 17 15:42:04 tmr1: nice :) Apr 17 15:42:25 sad that -rootwin option on mplayer don't work on the n900, that would make the coolest animated backgrounds Apr 17 15:42:30 wazd: Get the original program and install it on Windows Apr 17 15:42:34 i'm not sure if using opengl for these live wallpapers is good idea Apr 17 15:42:40 wazd: It is freaking hilarious Apr 17 15:42:46 in terms of power consumption Apr 17 15:42:48 RST38h: not sure that original will run under w7 :) Apr 17 15:42:58 wazd: Try, it won't kill you. A moment. Apr 17 15:43:02 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ESheep Apr 17 15:43:14 i like that idea as well Apr 17 15:43:27 wazd: http://www.brothersoft.com/scmpoo-download-71745.html Apr 17 15:43:34 RST38h: yeah, especially w7 x64 :) Apr 17 15:43:44 but after i make chrome usable i'll make matrix wallpaper Apr 17 15:43:51 wazd: Or here: http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/download/sheepy Apr 17 15:44:04 wazd: Urgh.

Apr 17 15:45:28 wazd: hehe, as live wallpaper? Apr 17 15:45:32 javispedro: yep Apr 17 15:45:34 * RST38h kills an iPhone user for javispedro Apr 17 15:46:36 1st somebody would have to make it work nicely Apr 17 15:46:37 * javispedro blends the resulting iPhone into iPhone gas and releases it into the atmosphere, resulting in more canceled flights Apr 17 15:46:52 Is that poisonous? Apr 17 15:47:09 "iphone dust, don't breathe this!" Apr 17 15:47:15 no Apr 17 15:47:16 it's Apr 17 15:47:22 DELISHUS Apr 17 15:47:23 iSmoke, don't breathe this Apr 17 15:47:29 oh. damn. Apr 17 15:47:35 you failed Apr 17 15:47:47 eh. haven't seen those that many times Apr 17 15:48:03 what did he say when he blended the ipad? Apr 17 15:48:20 same iirc Apr 17 15:48:20 what was funny though was that the display kept working for quite a long time after he started bashing it to bits Apr 17 15:48:21 You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you. Apr 17 15:48:30 only after that he bent it to shit did it stop working Apr 17 15:48:46 korhojoa: the touch screen went crazy though Apr 17 15:48:54 yeah Apr 17 15:48:57 I lol'd. Apr 17 15:49:02 korhojoa: well, there is not a lot of elektronics into it Apr 17 15:49:12 korhojoa: electronics* Apr 17 15:49:24 just explosive pletibonium Apr 17 15:49:38 appelonium Apr 17 15:49:44 it only exists in the RDF Apr 17 15:51:49 lol. Apr 17 15:51:58 meego.com has been invaded by shoemaker spam Apr 17 15:52:02 http://meego.com/community/events/2010/linux-foundation-collaboration-summit see the comments Apr 17 15:52:57 "cheep Ugg bOATS!1" Apr 17 15:53:21 "Thank you for the info and for the invitation. I was almost barefoot when I read this upcoming events of yours!!" Apr 17 15:54:58 We need more colour. Apr 17 15:56:29 what is this colour you speak of korhojoa Apr 17 15:58:54 colour is used only in UK? Apr 17 15:59:04 or there are any other countries that use colour? Apr 17 16:05:22 3.5gb over wifi Apr 17 16:05:25 gulp Apr 17 16:05:49 over 3G -- end of the world. Apr 17 16:06:07 15g over 3g Apr 17 16:06:13 in a week Apr 17 16:06:21 i just need to backup my /home/user fully :) Apr 17 16:06:55 mmm right click properties gave 3.5gb Apr 17 16:07:00 now the copy dialog says 10g Apr 17 16:09:00 i wonder: can i fiddle with the mounting for usb support to give rootfs access so i can copy faster under linux Apr 17 16:13:19 jacekowski: My network connection I though had fallen over, so I pinged you to confirm it. It seems it had not. Apr 17 16:14:08 jacekowski: 'colour' is everywhere except USA Apr 17 16:14:16 including Canada I think Apr 17 16:14:45 basically, USAians like to misspell it so much they made it an official typo Apr 17 16:14:47 :p Apr 17 16:24:19 hey guys, is there any way to get the powerkey press signal ? Apr 17 16:28:46 b0unc3: cat /dev/input/event2 Apr 17 16:30:19 javispedro: re overclocking... what about just briefly spiking to higher mhz when, for e.g. emulation is slowed by some system process. might be an effective trick to reduce jittery/missed frames Apr 17 16:30:36 changing freq takes cycles Apr 17 16:30:47 unless you can somehow predict when it's going to jitter... Apr 17 16:30:52 ah so it cannot be so finegrained Apr 17 16:31:35 usually if something slows down it hits for a few hundreds of m sec Apr 17 16:32:29 ah Apr 17 16:32:41 well when it jitters here it's usually modest being launch and checking mail Apr 17 16:32:49 which is more of an io thing than cpu Apr 17 16:35:46 tmr1, it doesn't work Apr 17 16:38:56 nobody have a sdk for n900 yet? Apr 17 16:39:19 err Apr 17 16:39:24 i thought lcuk would by now :) Apr 17 16:39:26 most developers have an sdk Apr 17 16:39:31 for on-device dev Apr 17 16:39:38 oh Apr 17 16:39:43 b0unc3: n8x0? Apr 17 16:40:19 pupnik: theoretically, "cloning" (like in the older days) the system to an sd card, adding sdk and tools repo to it should work. Apr 17 16:40:25 then chroot. Apr 17 16:41:01 hi, anyone in here who develops apps for maemo5 (n900) with Archlinux? Apr 17 16:41:20 tmr1, N900 Apr 17 16:41:57 javispedro, or easy debian Apr 17 16:42:17 MohammadAG: you'd have to uninstall debian and install maemo inside the chroot. not funny... Apr 17 16:42:34 huh Apr 17 16:42:43 javispedro: maybe the best way to share that would be a wiki containing script(s) Apr 17 16:42:52 javispedro, just install the SDK like you would on a PC Apr 17 16:42:57 inside easy debian Apr 17 16:43:05 MohammadAG: the SDK requires x86 Apr 17 16:43:12 actually, on second thought, that would mean double chroots Apr 17 16:43:21 javispedro, it can be force installed Apr 17 16:43:38 MohammadAG: there's a reason for that requeriment. binaries are x86. Apr 17 16:43:52 not on the armel target Apr 17 16:43:59 yes Apr 17 16:44:07 compilers, debian tools, etc. Apr 17 16:45:34 the SDK is much more than a chroot -- so when you are under a real armel platform, it's a bit of a waste of time trying to install the desktop SDK -- either get the rootstraps only, or clone the system to bootstrap it. Apr 17 16:45:55 do you know whic package provides pngenc? Apr 17 16:46:32 MohammadAG: It is a mix of armel and x86 binaries afaik Apr 17 16:46:55 If you are using the "host tools" option, it is only the x86 binaries Apr 17 16:47:10 (and in fact, "host tools" option covers most real life scenarios) Apr 17 16:47:36 hey all Apr 17 16:47:40 remembered the symlinks in /scratchbox Apr 17 16:47:49 RST38h: this reminds me, did you try the stuff I sent you on sb2? >:) Apr 17 16:47:54 got it, SDK won't install that easily :) Apr 17 16:48:24 i wish the SDK wasn't such a pain in the ass to use :\ Apr 17 16:48:34 javispedro: Nope. I am afraid to upgrade sb2 really Apr 17 16:48:46 ah, ok. Apr 17 16:48:55 yes, can understand. Apr 17 16:49:02 javispedro: And have not done any Maemo work in weeks (just got back to improving some maemo code yesterday) Apr 17 16:49:34 I see they're chastising you already for that in tmo. I wonder when they'll start chastising me now that I've not touched drnok for weeks :P Apr 17 16:49:35 javispedro: On the positive side, EMULib-based internal config menus are all touch/mouse sensitive now Apr 17 16:50:36 javispedro: Well, some shmuck posted a condescending complaint to the EMUL8 group a few days ago (along the "work harder and be my hero" lines), I gave him the standard answer (you can guess which one) Apr 17 16:51:47 yeah, he quoted it. Apr 17 16:51:59 javispedro: But, really, I suspect we are both off the hook now, as they have moved to PSP emus. It is always the latest hw for these guys, no matter how shitty its emulation runs Apr 17 16:52:08 "you can't improve perfection" Apr 17 16:52:20 soo true RST38h Apr 17 16:52:22 pupnik: naah, two words shorter. Apr 17 16:52:27 heheh Apr 17 16:53:04 * GAN900 needs to braindump somewhere before he forgets everything. Apr 17 16:53:10 here! Apr 17 16:53:23 * RST38h also made unused screen corners fast-forward the emulation now Apr 17 16:53:39 javispedro, OK. Apr 17 16:53:49 javispedro sucks for not coming. Apr 17 16:53:49 cat > /dev/null << :P Apr 17 16:53:54 i.e. stuff like START/SELECT, when not used by the emulated platform, does fast-forward Apr 17 16:53:58 ;) Apr 17 16:55:07 I should also get the N900, to test my Qt emulation UIs with Apr 17 16:55:10 GAN900: irc is a good place to braindump, logged and all Apr 17 16:55:19 anyone here got Qt Creator 2.0 alpha to play nice with their N900? Apr 17 16:55:50 RST38h, with some sort of ux indicator? Apr 17 16:55:55 the gpsp is running pretty well even on symbian at the moment Apr 17 16:56:16 * lcuk dislikes random ux stuff that leaves you randomly grasping and touching things Apr 17 16:56:24 Somebody want to start astroturfing for social news on MeeGo.com? Apr 17 16:56:32 GAN900: tbh yes, I hope to cover it by watching all the avail video :) Apr 17 16:56:43 lcuk: well they are labelled FFWD now Apr 17 16:57:01 GAN: are there any social meego news? Apr 17 16:57:12 RST38h, cool Apr 17 16:57:22 RST38h, i.e., Planet + rating from maemo.org Apr 17 16:57:28 whatever they are as long as they are ui elements that you dont scratch at Apr 17 16:58:03 GAN900: so after talking to people, how screwed are we regarding meego and openness? :P Apr 17 16:58:14 GAN: Planet would be nice Apr 17 16:58:23 GAN: I kinda doubt ratings make sense yet Apr 17 16:58:24 * GAN900 needs to do a survey of other bug tracker URLs for ammo for the bugs/bugzilla thing. Apr 17 16:58:32 Stskeeps, honestly? Apr 17 16:58:36 so screwed we might need to buy Palm to get some more openness! Apr 17 16:58:48 * RST38h really hopes Palm finally dies this time Apr 17 16:58:54 Stskeeps, it feels a lot like Maemo has felt for 5 years. :/ Apr 17 16:59:01 "Real soon now" Apr 17 16:59:03 With their chief sw honcho gone, I may just get my wish... Apr 17 16:59:05 lbt, ping! Apr 17 16:59:08 GAN900: lovely Apr 17 16:59:33 Maybe Samsung buys Palm and they both die in the embrace of death? Apr 17 16:59:36 Stskeeps, except with more talk about how open the project is. . . . Apr 17 16:59:45 GAN900: the difference is, for it to be a success with more than just intel and nokia they /have/ to open it Apr 17 16:59:52 GAN: Problem is, talk is cheap Apr 17 16:59:54 RST38h: much like what happened when access bought psrc =) Apr 17 17:00:12 for the linux foundation's involvement to be credible and it to be a neutral project Apr 17 17:00:19 access was a prosperous browser maker back then (remember netfront?) :) Apr 17 17:00:31 GAN: On the other hand, I fully believe (as a private person) that Intel does not have any interest withholding any of Meego sources Apr 17 17:00:33 i would like to see samsung hook up with "us" more Apr 17 17:00:50 GAN: Mainly because Intel is a hw company, for them Meego is a tool to sell more Atoms Apr 17 17:01:09 hey GAN900 Apr 17 17:01:14 javispedro: Yea, I suffered that one Apr 17 17:01:21 The ConMan, oFono, BlueZ talk was interesting Apr 17 17:01:48 s/ibmpc/phones/ s/dos/meego/ Apr 17 17:02:12 ofono is gpl, you can't /have/ a closed cellular plugin :) Apr 17 17:02:16 pupnik: you can just as well hook up with Martians. Samsung is completely different culture. Apr 17 17:02:17 grar Apr 17 17:02:31 * GAN900 dropped at "Maybe Samsung buys Palm ..." Apr 17 17:02:33 and ofono already works on N9pp Apr 17 17:02:47 The ConMan, oFono, BlueZ talk was interesting Apr 17 17:02:49 Does anyone know if there are any LAMP packages available? Or a guide to install apache, mysql, php and so on manually? Apr 17 17:02:49 lolfntypo Apr 17 17:03:08 Also a decent notepad with PHP highlighting would be great Apr 17 17:03:08 Robot101, you getting a flight? Apr 17 17:03:25 Intel have a history of providing good open specs and drivers. Apr 17 17:03:37 intel chipsets have been quite well supported in Linux. Apr 17 17:03:42 GAN900: is tomorrow but if it doesn't go, I've got one booked to montreal instead Apr 17 17:04:06 GAN900: we've got an office there and the timezone works better for me Apr 17 17:04:15 * n900-dk guess someone should make assproof planes.. Apr 17 17:04:22 Robot101, ah Apr 17 17:04:45 i just figured that typo out Apr 17 17:04:56 gotta get the hotel to do a bunch of laundry for me though :) Apr 17 17:04:58 Stskeeps, lbt wont be happy about the arch answer. Apr 17 17:05:00 plenty of flights from america to iceland Apr 17 17:05:12 pupnik: the n9pp is the n900+1, clearly ;) Apr 17 17:05:14 lcuk: ...but not further? Apr 17 17:05:23 not on your nelly Apr 17 17:05:38 ash has been blowing eastwards from Iceland, yes. Apr 17 17:05:42 GAN900: what arch answer? Apr 17 17:05:48 lcuk: yeah but think about, iceland will be the last place you'll be able to fly to europe from :P Apr 17 17:06:05 indeed rob Apr 17 17:06:09 javispedro: "assproof planes" is not easy to parse Apr 17 17:06:10 but you can swim at least :D Apr 17 17:06:12 lbt, wont be open until 1.2, apparently Apr 17 17:06:27 the OBS ? Apr 17 17:06:28 pupnik: ah, _that_ typo :( Apr 17 17:06:43 lbt, workgroup at the November Summit seems to be the opening point. Apr 17 17:06:53 lbt, arch mailing list Apr 17 17:07:02 woops.. s/assproof/ashproof :D Apr 17 17:07:04 That Imad mentioned being open. Apr 17 17:07:17 lbt, which isn't anything of the sort, apparently. Apr 17 17:07:29 heh Apr 17 17:07:51 what if someone set up a public obs before Apr 17 17:07:56 using the source thats there now Apr 17 17:08:05 lbt, but, Arjan said any questions should go to MeeGo-dev and they'd be more than happy to explain any descisions. Apr 17 17:08:12 and started using it Apr 17 17:08:18 True open modem would be so nice. For example, being able to tweak actual 3g/2g switching points Apr 17 17:08:28 GAN900: I'm not 100% sure - are we talking OBS or arch mailing list? Apr 17 17:08:34 never happen of course Apr 17 17:08:37 lbt, public OBS was more of a "dunno" Apr 17 17:08:39 too much bad shit possible Apr 17 17:08:41 OK. Apr 17 17:08:43 lbt, arch mailing list. Apr 17 17:08:56 lbt, thus, "arch ... arch ... arch" :P Apr 17 17:09:00 Stuck in SFO until the middle of next week, apparently Apr 17 17:09:01 for me, that's not so important - more a Stskeeps thing Apr 17 17:09:07 :) Apr 17 17:09:11 dneary, lucky you! Apr 17 17:09:12 GAN900, You made it home? Apr 17 17:09:20 dneary: :( Apr 17 17:09:28 lcuk: I was hoping to meet tero on tuesday to discuss Apr 17 17:09:33 dneary, I'm doing touristy things with my dad until Monday. Apr 17 17:09:34 will have to hold back now Apr 17 17:09:35 Robot101, How bout you? You managed to get out? Apr 17 17:09:45 lbt still meet him Apr 17 17:09:53 dneary, want to join us for a Segway tour in SF Sunday? ;) Apr 17 17:09:58 dneary: my flight is tomorrow, but... I booked one to montreal Apr 17 17:10:01 we can irc/jabber ... but it's not quite the same Apr 17 17:10:06 GAN900, Maybe... Apr 17 17:10:13 dneary: don't hold out much hope Apr 17 17:10:15 Need to get flights rebooked first Apr 17 17:10:16 http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2010/04/15/world/europe/airport-closings-graphic.html Apr 17 17:10:39 Robot101, My wife just told me that the airport closure has been extended to Monday 14h at earliest Apr 17 17:10:52 dneary, I've got a block of time to kill on Monday morning before my flight at 14:00, so we can do something then if you're still stuck. Apr 17 17:10:53 (reported on French lunchtime news a few hours ago) Apr 17 17:10:59 and it sounds like the vulcano is still very active Apr 17 17:11:07 lcuk: that seems out of date Apr 17 17:11:12 dneary: it varies depending on airport, the uk ones are reporting shorter closures Apr 17 17:11:18 Yeesh, 11 software updates. Apr 17 17:11:20 All BA flights cancelled tomorrow Apr 17 17:11:34 UPDATED April 17, 6:36 AM ET Apr 17 17:11:56 GAN900, I am going down to Stanford today - hopefully I'll run into jrb from Red Hat too - but I'd like to come back up to the city on Sunday - depends if the airline takes a hotel room or not for me Apr 17 17:12:07 n900-dk: the ash is apparently not being thrown so high now Apr 17 17:12:20 n900-dk: so it's not getting worse Apr 17 17:12:30 uk airports are still closed till tomorrow Apr 17 17:12:34 its just the cloud that's there that's a problem Apr 17 17:12:34 at the moment, its 7am Apr 17 17:12:36 Robot101, Why would UK airports (closer to Iceland) open before French ones? Apr 17 17:12:49 dneary: the french are wusses Apr 17 17:12:59 dneary, dispersal patterns Apr 17 17:13:05 Robot101: the news here just said, that it is still the same and not getting better Apr 17 17:13:05 dneary: its not new ash, it's the cloud that's there and moving south/east Apr 17 17:13:16 i do not see a cloud here Apr 17 17:13:24 well, come to madrid >:) Apr 17 17:13:29 pupnik, you can't Apr 17 17:13:39 (cause from what I gather some bcn flights have already been canceled) Apr 17 17:13:49 mmmmmm bcn Apr 17 17:14:02 n900-dk: directly contradicts article I just read on the guardian, that says ash is being thrown to 3 miles not 8 so isn't contributing to the cloud currently Apr 17 17:14:03 if visibility is clear, i do not see why ban flights here Apr 17 17:14:05 It's quite startling on the ground - http://www.mauve.plus.com/ash.jpg Apr 17 17:14:15 pupnik: it's not a visibility thing. Apr 17 17:14:15 pupnik - visibility has nothing to do with it Apr 17 17:14:26 pupnik: it's a sandblasting engines with unknown results thing Apr 17 17:14:26 the ash is like 7 miles up, and its just dust, you cant see it Apr 17 17:14:31 pupnik, because flying at 400mph through a cloud of dust and small stones has this kind of cumulative effect Apr 17 17:14:32 pupnik, ash is still there. Apr 17 17:14:33 Robot101: it is also new ash, there is still a lot of ash comming out Apr 17 17:14:36 what it does do is get sucked into engines, turn into glass, and fuck them up Apr 17 17:14:45 think of trusting your desktop computer fan to fly you over an ocean Apr 17 17:15:29 maybe the wind will change, some day.. Apr 17 17:15:31 if there isnt enough to be visible, not enough to damage engine, imo Apr 17 17:16:06 pupnik, you are looking for fine particles 20thousand foot in the air Apr 17 17:16:09 you should see the finnish f17s then Apr 17 17:16:14 sure its not enough to block out the sun where you are Apr 17 17:16:15 ah how stupid of us, every air regulatory agency in europe knows worse than you Apr 17 17:16:19 its so obvious! Apr 17 17:16:24 * SpeedEvil places a small quantity of anthrax in pupniks room. Apr 17 17:16:52 don't worry! since a vulcano covering europe in ash is the first part of 2012, we're gonna all die before you can get back to europe. Apr 17 17:17:13 and they've told me that travel tickets are cheap in the afterlife Apr 17 17:17:14 i dont see the airlines saying "we dont want to fly" Apr 17 17:17:20 javispedro: I actually had a dream about a tidal wave :( Apr 17 17:17:21 yes, we do :P Apr 17 17:17:59 aha, ideal place for the meego summit: iceland! Apr 17 17:18:02 nid0: and yes, regulatory agencies do amazingly stupid things all the time Apr 17 17:18:12 javispedro: rofl Apr 17 17:18:42 Robot101, I'm going down to Palo Alto today, if you're still here Sunday give me a ring? Apr 17 17:18:52 pupnik, how many tons of air does a turbofan engine suck through it over 2,000 miles? Apr 17 17:19:32 GAN900: about 100 Apr 17 17:19:45 Robot101, Do you have my number? +33 6 77 01 92 13 Apr 17 17:20:10 WOOO hello world works ^_^ Apr 17 17:20:11 GAN900: shirtsleeve math isnt going to give us a number for how many mtbf hours an engine has going through x percent ash Apr 17 17:20:15 dneary: I've got a montreal flight booked for sun if my lhr one doesn't make it Apr 17 17:20:23 pupnik, Because the ash that you can't see turns into glass in the jet engines and the planes fall out of the sky :) Apr 17 17:20:40 GAN900: actually no - more than that for high-bypass engines I suppose Apr 17 17:20:50 pupnik, and they all need complete overhauls if not. Apr 17 17:20:51 Robot101, Making lemonade? :) Apr 17 17:21:02 SpeedEvil, turbofan, not jet. ;) Apr 17 17:21:39 dneary: yeah, there's an office there and its a better timezone for me Apr 17 17:22:15 Lucky you have a subsidiary, I guess Apr 17 17:22:30 its a shame we havent finished latest model planes, we could have used ramjets in the outer atmosphere to avoid most of the cloud and close the manifold on re-entry Apr 17 17:22:54 and it would get people back and forward from us in a couple of hours Apr 17 17:22:59 dneary: the documented cases of planes losing engines were when they went straight through dense clouds of ash Apr 17 17:23:01 and the reason we haven't finished latest model planes is that there haven't been enough "disasters" of this kind. Apr 17 17:23:18 lcuk: Has 3rd episode of DrWho aired? Apr 17 17:23:22 this isnt a disaster Apr 17 17:23:27 note the quotes ;) Apr 17 17:23:31 its not cost lives Apr 17 17:23:33 yup Apr 17 17:23:36 very true tho Apr 17 17:23:55 dneary: well you could always just go hang out in boston or something too :) Apr 17 17:24:19 Robot101, Do you know what compensation you're getting? Apr 17 17:24:26 Or is it "Suck it up"? Apr 17 17:24:28 there was that jumbojet that flew through volcanic ash. All 4 engines stopped Apr 17 17:24:40 ShadowJK, eep Apr 17 17:24:44 "Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem. All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control. I trust you are not in too much distress." the captain announced :) Apr 17 17:25:06 Therte is supposed to be hotel rooms, meals & compensation for cancelled flights Apr 17 17:25:14 GAN900: hmm. 747 - ~150 tons of fuel - so ~600 tons of air per engine stochiometrically - so ~3000 or so per engine I guess at a bypass of 5:1 Apr 17 17:25:26 * javispedro flies without engines all the time in flight sim :) , but he also hasn't managed to land :( Apr 17 17:25:29 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Airways_Flight_9 Apr 17 17:25:47 * RST38h would not mind getting stuck in Boston Apr 17 17:25:57 Actually, THAT happened before. Apr 17 17:25:59 Oh well. Apr 17 17:26:00 * ShadowJK has been practicing flying helicopter without engine in flightgear flightsim :-) Apr 17 17:26:25 heh. Apr 17 17:26:26 without an engine or turning the one you have off in midair Apr 17 17:26:32 there is a distinct difference ;) Apr 17 17:26:34 javispedro, heavies don't glide well. ;) Apr 17 17:26:41 * MohammadAG freaking hates scratchbox sometimes Apr 17 17:26:46 Git's broken in it Apr 17 17:26:46 Stopped turbofans have a lot of drag. Apr 17 17:26:58 dneary: you were at the lf collab summit too? Apr 17 17:26:58 I can pretty reliably not-crash from engine failure above 500ft at any airspeed now :D Apr 17 17:27:06 Stskeeps, yeah Apr 17 17:27:18 Stskeeps, I wanted to be there for GNOME, and Meego Apr 17 17:27:24 MohammadAG: mount --bind a dir inside scratchbox and use that as your projects dir; use external git and basically only do dpkg-buildpackage inside sbox. Apr 17 17:27:27 dneary: good, even though it probably sucks to be stuck :P Apr 17 17:28:02 what is really annoying is the fact you don't know anything 12 hours ahead Apr 17 17:28:09 Stskeeps, I wouldn't mind if I hadn't spent half an hour on hold Apr 17 17:28:10 MohammadAG, ? git works in sb Apr 17 17:28:14 theres a git toolkit thingy Apr 17 17:28:17 Rather, an hour Apr 17 17:28:22 javispedro, I said Git was broken in it, which means it worked outside of sb :) Apr 17 17:28:24 I was going to go for a run this mornin Apr 17 17:28:32 lcuk, it just gets to 7% and cuts the connection Apr 17 17:28:45 MohammadAG: that's why I suggest you use external git... Apr 17 17:28:50 is that a different problem? Apr 17 17:29:01 * lcuk has no real issues with git Apr 17 17:29:05 I never experience that either... Apr 17 17:29:06 javispedro, which I did before you suggested :) Apr 17 17:29:23 dneary: not bothered trying to contact the airlines atm, just booked my plan B Apr 17 17:29:32 Ah Apr 17 17:29:35 Good call Apr 17 17:29:49 dneary: can refund or claim on insurance I expect Apr 17 17:29:58 i find it amusing that obviously intelligent people can'yt see the difference between flying into a dark cloud of volcanic ash, and flying in clear blue sky hundreds of km away. immediately the reaction is "oh it is the government! surely they know what they are doing!" Apr 17 17:30:36 on a nice note about the #ashtag Apr 17 17:30:43 blue skies have never looked prettier Apr 17 17:30:54 no artificial lines Apr 17 17:31:16 yeah i like Apr 17 17:31:16 pupnik: Well, generally, pilots do know what they are doing Apr 17 17:31:31 pupnik: http://bit.ly/bGHqN0 - take a look at how badly the ash is in finland and what it does to engines. Apr 17 17:31:40 in finland, which is a fair stretch from the volcano. Apr 17 17:32:34 they aren't really kidding with this stuff :P Apr 17 17:32:47 if this is the case, expect MONTHS until anybody flies again Apr 17 17:32:52 haha... "You've heard about Gordon Brown? When he heard about Iceland he wanted cash, but there's no 'c' in the Icelandic language, so we gave him ash." Apr 17 17:32:53 ashcloud: serious business Apr 17 17:33:02 it's not like they're going to disappear in an afternoon Apr 17 17:33:07 lol Robot101 Apr 17 17:33:24 javispedro: naah - it gets blown away and dispersed in a week or two at most if it stops Apr 17 17:33:26 javispedro: it would be wise to buy stock in teleconferencing companies Apr 17 17:33:32 SpeedEvil: -if it stops- :P Apr 17 17:33:34 last time it was 2 yeas Apr 17 17:33:36 years Apr 17 17:33:58 40 minutes on hold, line just went dead Apr 17 17:34:00 Sucks Apr 17 17:34:01 prop planes flying lower and slower Apr 17 17:34:16 wipe them off at each airport Apr 17 17:34:21 bish bash bosh Apr 17 17:34:29 pupnik, If you were an experienced pilot I might agree Apr 17 17:34:38 * PhonicUK jumps up and down, waving his arms in the air Apr 17 17:34:40 lcuk: i did wonder why not use prop planes and fly lower Apr 17 17:34:47 lcuk: as long as the air filter doesn't clog. Apr 17 17:34:49 pupnik, Or responsible for flight safety & air traffic control Apr 17 17:34:52 lcuk: If it does - oops. Apr 17 17:35:05 Stskeeps: few left, lower capacity, pricier to operate Apr 17 17:35:17 how low does the ash fly? Apr 17 17:35:18 Stskeeps, there are some emergency flights out of the closed airports Apr 17 17:35:28 ShadowJK: 10km or so, afaik Apr 17 17:35:41 Also - large jets _can_ fly just fine at 5km Apr 17 17:35:42 ShadowJK: here at least Apr 17 17:35:44 ShadowJK, it does not fly Apr 17 17:35:50 its on my car! Apr 17 17:35:51 Yeah, our lovable railroad company VR is very happy, their tickets in one way costs more than two way fligh and I assume that if it takes 2 years... Thank god I own a car :p Apr 17 17:35:59 They are much slower, and not as economic though Apr 17 17:36:01 its falling with style Apr 17 17:36:06 SpeedEvil, the fuel consumption is a bit nasty though :) Apr 17 17:36:08 yeah yabba Apr 17 17:36:13 if the contention is: "volcanic ash at concentrations invisible to the unaided eye cause significant safety problems", show it Apr 17 17:36:28 pupnik, buy a plane and fly Apr 17 17:36:36 overclock the plane! Apr 17 17:36:49 the groundings are not official govt blocks afaik, its decisions amongst companies for safety reasons Apr 17 17:36:50 pupnik: google for photos of jet engines damaged by the ash? Apr 17 17:36:58 javispedro: how would you do that? xD Apr 17 17:37:18 pupnik, easiest thing: just wait for the dust to settle Apr 17 17:37:25 this whole thing will blow over in a few days Apr 17 17:37:31 literally Apr 17 17:37:31 pupnik: from the plane that tried it 'Despite the weather radar showing clear skies,' Apr 17 17:37:45 RST38h: that is just an economic cost which travellers can choose to bear, or not. Apr 17 17:37:50 On the other hand, any decent world conspiracy (tm) concerned with jet passengers seeing their City in the Sky would surely be able to fake those photos... Apr 17 17:38:21 surely conspiracy theorists should be happy the chemtrail program has been suspended Apr 17 17:38:54 You do know that the volcano eruption is nothing more than a smokescreen hiding the evil plot to build a SKY CITY and only let the sunlight pass when you pay monthly rent to the Man? Apr 17 17:39:21 clearly. Apr 17 17:39:31 RST38h: jesus is above the skies, let us not send up planes so people can see he's there! Apr 17 17:39:48 Stskeeps: He is naked and we can't let people see his testicles! Apr 17 17:40:18 * Trizt don't like when he pees on people Apr 17 17:41:48 Trizt: you like his droppings better? Apr 17 17:41:53 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:747-ba9.png aha, simulated photos for your convenience! (or for the news broadcasters audience numbers convenience!) Apr 17 17:42:20 RST38h; No, I just wish he went back to Pluto Apr 17 17:42:41 javispedro: Notice the top secret field shielding being tested by British Scientists (tm) Apr 17 17:44:17 programmers are at their funniest when talking science Apr 17 17:46:00 RST38h: ash-shielding technology! conspiracy! Apr 17 17:46:17 A week Apr 17 17:46:26 Robot101, I'm here till next Saturday Apr 17 17:50:18 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:747-ba9.png#filehistory You gotta love the previous attempts. Apr 17 17:51:16 the first one is an evil evil plane Apr 17 17:52:53 * javispedro envisions a plane with eyes on fire and torches on the engines.... lemme fill this business plan. Apr 17 17:53:48 javispedro: an airline for satanists Apr 17 17:54:32 just goes to show how easily people will swallow nonsense Apr 17 17:55:47 * RST38h wonders if the burnt smell in the air is due to icelandic ash or the usual Apr 17 17:55:56 hi, i'we noticed that wholeday event is in calendar applet visible also next day after the event. is it known bug? Apr 17 17:56:17 ... or the usual modern laptop burning? Apr 17 17:56:41 laptop is behaving itself lately Apr 17 17:56:52 probably knows that it is gonna be replaced soon =( Apr 17 17:57:24 * javispedro watches his laptop "remains" on the shelf and wonders when I'll get a new one.

Apr 17 18:20:40 HektoR: there's a 'x-terminal' icon Apr 17 18:20:45 LiraNuna: yep Apr 17 18:20:56 HektoR: click terminal top menu, "new" Apr 17 18:21:07 ssvb, can you explain how the vbtl instruction work? Apr 17 18:21:21 * noobmonk3y blinks Apr 17 18:21:32 is it for 64bit registers only? Apr 17 18:23:46 Stskeeps: there is nothing like this :( Apr 17 18:23:56 HektoR: that's kinda odd, it's under Utilities Apr 17 18:24:06 HektoR: reflash your device if it's not there Apr 17 18:24:30 LiraNuna: yes, the destination register is 64-bit, but it can lookup for bytes in a set of four 64-bit source registers, and another 64-bit register is used as index Apr 17 18:24:55 ssvb, so I need 2 loopups for a float32x4 Apr 17 18:25:02 Stskeeps: i just bought this device... and can you give some manual links ? Apr 17 18:25:39 lol Apr 17 18:25:56 LiraNuna: yes, generally if you can avoid vtbl instruction then it is better to do it Apr 17 18:26:20 are they slow?

Apr 17 18:29:24 oh, oh, "TRM" Apr 17 18:31:04 guys - what are best parameters for ext3 fs on mmc card?

Apr 17 18:33:40 LiraNuna: what kind of shuffle operation do you need? many of them can be typically done in some other way Apr 17 18:33:52 ssvb, like SSE's Apr 17 18:34:02 I want to move 4 floats around Apr 17 18:34:25 including duplication Apr 17 18:34:27 LiraNuna: according to some regular pattern, or totally random?

Apr 17 18:34:42 I'm porting over my SSE math library to NEON Apr 17 18:35:11 ssvb, my math library supports .xxyz = .wwzz and other wicked stuff Apr 17 18:35:18 HektoR: no Apr 17 18:36:38 LiraNuna: one the other hand, vtbl can dual issue with ALU instructions, so with clever scheduling you can compensate its slowness Apr 17 18:37:18 ssvb, usually I add/mul after a shuffle Apr 17 18:38:21 ssvb, cross product is a very fine example of it Apr 17 18:38:28 LiraNuna: if this add/mul does not use the result of this shuffle, then they can dual issue happily Apr 17 18:38:47 oh I see Apr 17 18:39:01 ssvb, http://pastie.org/private/z2suqbd83ghexdbzfcrdw Apr 17 18:39:18 "vec4" is my SSE wrapper class Apr 17 18:39:52 they are all floats Apr 17 18:40:01 (float32x4_t in neon intrinsics) Apr 17 18:40:46 LiraNuna: such operation alone usually does not perform good, it is too small to be vectorized Apr 17 18:41:12 LiraNuna: processing multiple vectors in parrallel is much better, if this can be done of course Apr 17 18:43:20 ssvb, surely it's faster than non-parallel version Apr 17 18:44:53 LiraNuna: yes, but most likely still up to several times slower than properly optimized version Apr 17 18:45:20 I understand that Apr 17 18:57:38 pupnik: looks like they're testing - 19:43 <+Calamarain> tc: We won't be back in time for that Apr 17 18:57:41 19:43 <+Calamarain> But something in the evening is feasible Apr 17 18:57:44 19:44 <+Calamarain> We're right on the edge - we can see Wales from here Apr 17 18:57:46 19:54 <+tc> http://newsolio.com/klm705-test-flight-over-europe-to-test-ash-from-iceland-volcano,9436 wonder if they're getting paid Apr 17 18:57:50 that was more than I intended to paste Apr 17 18:58:01 http://newsolio.com/klm705-test-flight-over-europe-to-test-ash-from-iceland-volcano,9436 being the relevant bit :) Apr 17 18:58:18 Robot101: probably as crazy as the finnish air force pilots Apr 17 18:58:27 LiraNuna: btw, there is also vtrn instruction, it may help in some cases (matrix transpose) Apr 17 18:59:01 transpose only swaps pairs, right? Apr 17 18:59:27 similar to SSE's _MM_TRANSPOSE Apr 17 19:02:40 ty Robot101 ! Apr 17 19:20:09 hmm 3h idle n900 and battery has dropped from fully charged to 80% Apr 17 19:20:37 that's a good thing Apr 17 19:20:50 "fully charged" by mwhat measure? Apr 17 19:21:07 well it claimed to be "full" Apr 17 19:23:10 ok Apr 17 19:23:28 i doubt it was idle then Apr 17 19:24:14 well no wlan or 3g internet-connection .. no sms or calls ... no gpu-active widget etc Apr 17 19:24:32 * FauxFaux is still suitably amused by Battery Graph (http://faux.uwcs.co.uk/battgraph2.png). Apr 17 19:24:44 there is only one cpu-spike Apr 17 19:26:20 Stskeeps: hey.... i just flashed it and it works :) thank you Apr 17 19:26:39 HektoR: good :) Apr 17 19:28:24 FauxFaux, new install, or changed your system date? Apr 17 19:28:46 New device. Apr 17 19:34:30 Hi, VDVsx. I'm curious what kind of response Maemo got for GSoC? Apr 17 19:35:10 dmj7261, a lot of proposals, see my blog post about that Apr 17 19:35:52 batterygraph did not retain my history after backup/reflash/restore Apr 17 19:36:07 just googled your blog...that's a lot. Apr 17 19:36:30 Hopefully a lot of really good ones. :) Apr 17 19:38:13 dmj7261, yeah a lot of good ones for few slots :( Apr 17 19:38:24 How many did Maemo get? Apr 17 19:51:54 * noobmonk3y wants the promote button to appear grrrrrrrrrrrrrr Apr 17 19:52:52 lcuk, battery eye did keep my history after backup flash restore :D Apr 17 19:55:53 * noobmonk3y grumbles! Apr 17 19:56:11 * dmj7261 just discovered a whole bunch of image processing code designed for scanning books with cameras. Apr 17 19:56:45 noobmonk3y, o_O you are correct Apr 17 19:57:23 batterygraph DID keep my settings Apr 17 19:57:32 it was my date which was off! Apr 17 19:57:56 :P Apr 17 19:58:08 * noobmonk3y has no promote button :( :( Apr 17 19:58:34 * lcuk promotes noobmonk3y Apr 17 19:59:24 * noobmonk3y feels ever so slightly promoted :P Apr 17 20:01:51 * noobmonk3y thinks X-Fade is sleeping on the servers again ;) Apr 17 20:01:57 might be dribbing on them :( Apr 17 20:06:56 noobmonk3y, healthcheck lacks graphics Apr 17 20:11:00 yup! Apr 17 20:11:25 brb gotta head home, back in 30 Apr 17 20:14:36 isn't there a new maemo update for the n900 expected soooooon? Apr 17 20:14:45 no Apr 17 20:15:00 <_llll_> depends what you mean by "soon" Apr 17 20:15:29 At december 2012 Apr 17 20:15:51 I expect one wednesday. Apr 17 20:16:03 I am often dissapointed though. Apr 17 20:16:11 arrrggh, cant get sound works, damn Apr 17 20:21:43 quite funny, my phone lasted 4 hours with battery showing zero bars and 5mAh, while networked and occasionally used interactively Apr 17 20:24:02 I've seen that. Apr 17 20:24:02 Arkenoi: It really does use very little power when idle and powersaving wifi Apr 17 20:24:57 has anyone used their N900 as a vnc server? Apr 17 20:26:19 btw, is there any program (not overclocking) or way to put that wifi totaly off? Because I don't need it :P Apr 17 20:26:35 wifi switcher Apr 17 20:26:50 Ok, thanks :) Apr 17 20:28:17 ifconfig wlan0 down Apr 17 20:29:18 Wifi logged into a powersaving router uses under .2% of battery per hour Apr 17 20:29:39 (additional) Apr 17 20:30:22 personally I find the power usage *way* higher than that Apr 17 20:30:33 powersaving router Apr 17 20:30:37 check Apr 17 20:30:40 Hi, is a sim-card inserted in the n900 mandatory to be able to connect through the wifi? :) Apr 17 20:30:40 on a non powersaving one, it's way higher Apr 17 20:30:41 still way more than that Apr 17 20:30:58 inkbottle, no Apr 17 20:30:58 nid0: that is a total power use of ~10mA with it logged in but idle. Apr 17 20:31:25 doesnt seem to be on my powersaving router Apr 17 20:31:36 never has been Apr 17 20:31:59 nid0: what latency do you get over ssh sessions - and is your cpu hitting idle over 50% of the time? Apr 17 20:32:04 nid0: - powertop Apr 17 20:32:10 imo it's something like 0.7% of battery per wi-fi hour Apr 17 20:32:29 make it ~1% Apr 17 20:32:48 nid0: that is additional ~1mA with wifi on Apr 17 20:32:52 for me anyway Apr 17 20:32:52 I find on this device having wifi on but (mostly) idle my battery life is roughly halved compared to just switching wifi off when not in use Apr 17 20:33:04 what do you mean by mostly Apr 17 20:33:14 xchat uses 30mA as it wakes the cpu up a lot Apr 17 20:33:26 well as in the phone getting light use, maybe an hour of active wifi use a day Apr 17 20:33:29 nid0: then... I can connect to my own wifi with a debian's laptop, but there is always error with the phone (so far i don't have a sim card to put in it) (i try sth else...) Apr 17 20:33:30 k Apr 17 20:34:30 this is on the same router for which symbian phones with wifi enabled and idle have no noticeable extra increase in power consumption atall over wifi off entirely, so the router's powersaving support clearly works fine Apr 17 20:35:25 nid0: well - mine works. I guess there are still some oddities. Apr 17 20:35:46 nid0: what latency do you see pinging the device? Apr 17 20:35:57 nid0: I get a maximum of ~300ms or so. Apr 17 20:36:16 SpeedEvil: oh, and your average latency? Apr 17 20:36:24 150 Apr 17 20:36:25 * Arkenoi never seen any symbian phone lasting more than two days while connected. n900 can do *in theory*, actually you just never have it idling for two days ;-) Apr 17 20:36:56 10 packets transmitted, 10 received, 0% packet loss, time 9013ms Apr 17 20:36:57 rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 44.190/130.087/210.439/56.597 ms Apr 17 20:37:03 well with wifi connected but powersaving kicked in, it usually wont kick in atall until I actively use the wifi from the device first, my latency when it's active isnt bad, ill check it shortly though, girlfriend stole it to play blubbels atm Apr 17 20:37:08 rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 207.945/343.951/499.086/84.836 ms Apr 17 20:37:16 (out of 12 packets) Apr 17 20:37:54 Arkenoi: e90 lasts about 6 days with no wifi connection for me Apr 17 20:38:02 or like 5 and 3/4 days with wifi enabled and idle Apr 17 20:38:20 * noobmonk3y curses the lack of promote button :( Apr 17 20:38:27 If your wifi is idle you obviously don't have enough e-mail accounts. Apr 17 20:38:35 n900 lasts 4 days with wi-fi + skype (I guess I won't ever get tired of repeating it ;P ) Apr 17 20:38:45 when my phone is in range of my wifi router, its because I am too Apr 17 20:38:55 which means im also in range of both my workstation and my tablet Apr 17 20:38:59 both of which receive my mail Apr 17 20:39:04 no need for my n900 to as well Apr 17 20:39:18 <_llll_> wifi-switcher is useful Apr 17 20:39:19 nid0: can you connect to the e90 from outside? Apr 17 20:39:24 yep Apr 17 20:39:28 one email account on automatic check disqualifies yourself from using the words wifi, 3g or 2g together in the same sentence with the word 'idle' :P Apr 17 20:39:29 Yeah, but it's supposed to download the e-mail for you to read on your way places. Apr 17 20:39:41 ShadowJK: no, it doesn't. Apr 17 20:39:42 Oh god damn it, I installed that wifi switcher and put wifi of, then I was Damn update... but wrong, it was just icon :( Apr 17 20:39:57 ShadowJK: for wifi - it goes to sleep _very_ fast if powersave is implemented right Apr 17 20:39:57 ShadowJK: automatic check is a bug :) Apr 17 20:40:00 SpeedEvil, dude this is modest we're tlaking about ;) Apr 17 20:40:04 SpeedEvil++, my test was done with two email accounts set to 30 minutes... Apr 17 20:40:19 is there a way of turning off the N900 screen without VNC sessions going blank? Apr 17 20:40:39 The more powerconsuming bit seems to be the CPU taking some time to go back to idle state. Apr 17 20:40:39 4 days with wifi and skype enabled, need :( Apr 17 20:40:50 I just about get 3 with wifi switcher used and light usage Apr 17 20:40:58 [PhonicUK]: You could always set the screen brightness to zero Apr 17 20:41:07 dont remember what file the brightness is in though Apr 17 20:41:10 ToJa92: that still uses a fair bit of power Apr 17 20:41:21 due to the way x11vnc works it's a waste of power either way Apr 17 20:41:21 ToJa92: indeed - lowest rung isn't much different from 'zero' Apr 17 20:41:47 works for me Apr 17 20:41:48 PhonicUK: X11 should work fine with screen off -- I know it's less convenient but also more battery friendly Apr 17 20:42:17 as soon as i turn the screen off the remote sesion blanks out Apr 17 20:42:29 yes, due to the way x11vnc works. Apr 17 20:42:32 how do i know the mac address of the n900? Apr 17 20:42:41 inkbottle, run iwconfig as root Apr 17 20:42:49 PhonicUK: sorry, by "X11" I meant "X11 redirection" alone, no VNC. Apr 17 20:42:55 ah Apr 17 20:43:33 PhonicUK: :) how do i know the pass words? Apr 17 20:43:38 ? Apr 17 20:43:45 you don't need to Apr 17 20:43:48 noobmonk3y, find your promote buttons :( Apr 17 20:43:54 you need to install the gainroot package Apr 17 20:43:54 nope :( Apr 17 20:44:02 inkbottle: you also can go to control panel and click "about my device" Apr 17 20:44:18 javispedro, i going to try that Apr 17 20:44:52 <_llll_> mac addr is listed in settings somewhere too Apr 17 20:45:19 "about my device", "about this product", dunno how it's translated. Apr 17 20:45:41 you shoulda got a promote button half an hour ago :< Apr 17 20:47:30 yeah :( Apr 17 20:47:34 its just not there :( Apr 17 20:47:51 maybe its every half an hour at quarter past and to, in which case it woulda shown up 2 mins ago? :> Apr 17 20:47:52 ash cloud?

Apr 17 20:49:07 nid0, maybe it hasn't met all requirements? Apr 17 20:49:50 I cant see what, you had 3 tester thumbs ups in about 2 hours, you got 10 karma, its been 10 days, has a bugtracker, description, and dependancies Apr 17 20:50:21 :P maybe it's the hidden test script, the one that says if it is called healthcheck, to just leave it festering? ;) Apr 17 20:50:22 nid0: Have you sacrificed the virgin? Apr 17 20:50:33 darn, knew i forgot something Apr 17 20:50:38 she wasnt a virgin when I was done with her :( Apr 17 20:50:39 where is MohammadAG when you need him ;) Apr 17 20:50:51 * GAN900 is pretty sure the Nexus One is magic Apr 17 20:51:08 "magic" Apr 17 20:51:10 ?

Apr 17 21:06:47 mails sent to spam -> blame it on the ash cloud Apr 17 21:07:12 mails sent to spam -> blame it on the ash cloud -> blame Iceland Apr 17 21:07:13 MohammadAG, it contacted my hand a few times Apr 17 21:07:30 lol Apr 17 21:07:30 not at all Apr 17 21:07:35 * VDVsx blames lcuk for the ash cloud Apr 17 21:07:35 iceland did nothing wrong Apr 17 21:07:42 Google has too much money =) Apr 17 21:07:48 it had a volcano in it Apr 17 21:07:53 or under it Apr 17 21:07:55 why javispedro ? Apr 17 21:08:12 lcuk: they ship nexus one's like crazy Apr 17 21:08:19 javispedro: :D Apr 17 21:08:54 VDVsx, seriously, though, eBay! Apr 17 21:08:57 I once posted here that my uni "talked" about doing an android programming optional course... google's answer: 30 N1s. before the course contents were decided. Apr 17 21:09:31 lol Apr 17 21:10:10 they are giving N1 everywhere, probably from the series that have a lot of issues :D Apr 17 21:10:18 Haha Apr 17 21:10:29 3g issues and battery Apr 17 21:10:31 GAN900: don't say that too loud, it's probably against google's own guidelines Apr 17 21:10:52 Well, bergie's N1 booted to the bootloader with "Firmware not found" because the battery was low. Apr 17 21:11:00 heh Apr 17 21:11:01 javispedro, box is retail, so, meh. :P Apr 17 21:11:45 GAN900, did you sign anything ? Apr 17 21:12:43 VDVsx, nope. Apr 17 21:12:47 GAN900: if the plan was ebaying it, just by opening it you already lost a few $$$ =) Apr 17 21:13:01 VDVsx, checked my name against a list and snipped a corner off my nametag Apr 17 21:13:10 javispedro, yeah, well, it was free. Apr 17 21:13:21 ah, so they didn't throw them at the audience among massive confusion and panic. Apr 17 21:13:22 I wanted to play with it. Apr 17 21:13:46 GAN900, is the browser any good ? Apr 17 21:14:06 VDVsx, you don't own an N900? Apr 17 21:14:07 javispedro, the Google guy almost hit me in the head with a "Fork You" shirt during Q&A while I was watching somebody ask a question in back. Apr 17 21:14:13 * VDVsx has to request the milestone to play a bit Apr 17 21:14:20 VDVsx, not compared to MicroB Apr 17 21:14:26 oh nvm Apr 17 21:14:38 MohammadAG, yes, 2 actually :D Apr 17 21:14:42 VDVsx, pretty comparable to the iPhone overall Apr 17 21:14:56 VDVsx, you don't own that RX-51! Apr 17 21:15:05 I hate how the iPhone got 100/100 on the acid3 test Apr 17 21:15:07 android seems to be attracting quite a lot of wince/winmob users, curiously. Apr 17 21:15:09 * noobmonk3y wonders if the iphone is so great, could it fix the autobuilder and give me a promote button? :P hehe Apr 17 21:15:09 VDVsx, says so under the battery. :P Apr 17 21:15:16 GAN900, true Apr 17 21:15:19 is not mine Apr 17 21:15:23 noobmonk3y, no, it can't do two things at once Apr 17 21:15:27 same for the other one Apr 17 21:15:27 lol! Apr 17 21:15:29 also a good point Apr 17 21:16:03 * noobmonk3y may have to pinch X-Fade till he gives the autobuilder mouth to mouth...... seems like the only option Apr 17 21:16:13 noobmonk3y: waiit until monday Apr 17 21:16:19 Weird thing about the OLED is that the pixels are non-square Apr 17 21:16:22 :( Apr 17 21:16:23 more like triangular Apr 17 21:16:33 so all the shapes have rough edges. Apr 17 21:16:38 weird Apr 17 21:16:39 thats freaky Apr 17 21:16:43 the words noobmonk3y and wait..... in the same sentence?! - i just waited 10 days!!!!! Apr 17 21:16:47 iPhone browser suck so much, I can properly visit most of my favorite websites Apr 17 21:16:54 *can't Apr 17 21:16:55 Plus it's really freaking oversaturated. Apr 17 21:16:56 heh Apr 17 21:17:02 iCan't Apr 17 21:17:20 I can properly visit all of my websites! outrageous! where's the pain in that??? Apr 17 21:17:25 * javispedro goes hug his n810 Apr 17 21:17:33 * PhonicUK hugs his N900 :D Apr 17 21:17:39 cheap OLED displays look really nasty Apr 17 21:17:48 * noobmonk3y can see all websites fine on the n900 (that i need too) except t.m.o.. .. and even that isnt too annoying Apr 17 21:17:53 GAN900, on nexus one? It has less blue and red pixels than green pixels Apr 17 21:18:03 ITV Player doesn't work too well Apr 17 21:18:10 iPlayer and 4oD work fine though Apr 17 21:18:19 I think is ok if you live in the US, since they have website versions for the iPhone, but otherwise is a piece of shit :D Apr 17 21:18:38 iplayer works fine? Apr 17 21:18:43 yup Apr 17 21:18:47 it's completely broken here Apr 17 21:18:48 yeah on the big screen version Apr 17 21:18:52 ~2fps Apr 17 21:18:56 you can't use the bigscreen version Apr 17 21:18:57 SpeedEvil, did you follow the tmo walkthrough? Apr 17 21:18:59 and video doesn't keep up with audio Apr 17 21:19:01 you have to use console mode Apr 17 21:19:05 anyway, downloader works fine Apr 17 21:19:16 speed evil, got your device to hand? ill show you how its done Apr 17 21:19:16 n00?

Like after you have been doing './configure --someoptions" Apr 17 21:20:15 doctor who! Apr 17 21:20:16 find whatever it is you want to watch, im going to use "Doctor Who" Apr 17 21:20:22 and click it as normal Apr 17 21:20:30 browser guys! could we have a faster way to enable/disable flash? thx! Apr 17 21:20:31 dr who it is done Apr 17 21:20:38 gimme 1 mo while mine loads Apr 17 21:20:52 ok so you're at the bit where you can click play, don't do so Apr 17 21:20:54 pupnik, a binary flash shim would be ideal for me Apr 17 21:20:56 yup Apr 17 21:21:04 a click to play, but done using speed of binary plugin Apr 17 21:21:15 look in the iPlayer flash window, in the bottom right Apr 17 21:21:18 there are 3 buttons Apr 17 21:21:26 Volume, Pop-out and Full Screen Apr 17 21:21:29 click on Pop-out Apr 17 21:21:32 k Apr 17 21:21:56 which will open in a new window Apr 17 21:22:01 yup Apr 17 21:22:22 actually that plays fine, but shit quality! Apr 17 21:22:52 its better quality than the shitty iPlayer app for symbian Apr 17 21:22:57 pupnik, I think there's a plugin for fennec at least(not sure about microB) Apr 17 21:22:57 and it works over 3G :) Apr 17 21:23:07 good point on the 3g Apr 17 21:23:12 might stick with the downloader though :D Apr 17 21:23:21 righto Apr 17 21:23:30 but yeah ive done it over 3G and its quite watchable Apr 17 21:23:33 thankee v much though :D Apr 17 21:23:38 no worries Apr 17 21:23:53 make that a short 1 liner Apr 17 21:23:57 add it to ~iplayer Apr 17 21:24:22 how do I add it? or shall i just sum it up and someone else add it Apr 17 21:24:24 "openinstallclickgotourlclickinstallpopoutfullscreen" Apr 17 21:24:31 lol javispedro Apr 17 21:24:34 lol Apr 17 21:24:35 it will save explain Apr 17 21:24:55 ? Apr 17 21:25:12 you have to do something like "infobot: iplayer is something somewhere somehow" Apr 17 21:25:13 next time someone wants to know how Apr 17 21:25:16 we can give em that Apr 17 21:25:22 :D Apr 17 21:25:49 ty VDVsx Apr 17 21:26:32 infobot: iPlayer can be viewed smoothly on the N900 by going to the normal desktop version of the iPlayer website, selecting your programme as normal - and then instead of selecting "Play", click the "Pop-out" button in the bottom right (in the middle). The Popped-out version can be played in full screen smoothly. Apr 17 21:26:36 ~iplayer Apr 17 21:27:13 eh? Apr 17 21:27:31 ~iPlayer Apr 17 21:27:48 ~iPlayer Apr 17 21:28:00 iPlayer is ... Apr 17 21:28:06 infobot: iplayer is iPlayer can be viewed smoothly on the N900 by going to the normal desktop version of the iPlayer website, selecting your programme as normal - and then instead of selecting "Play", click the "Pop-out" button in the bottom right (in the middle). The Popped-out version can be played in full screen smoothly. Apr 17 21:28:11 yay! Apr 17 21:28:12 ~iplayer Apr 17 21:28:15 infobot: ping Apr 17 21:28:19 ~ping Apr 17 21:28:20 hmm Apr 17 21:28:28 he suicided Apr 17 21:28:29 who killed infobot? Apr 17 21:28:38 ~seen infobot Apr 17 21:28:40 lol Apr 17 21:29:19 well darn Apr 17 21:31:10 man, time/wait needed to enable/disable flash really bites Apr 17 21:31:48 flashblock Apr 17 21:34:40 ^ Apr 17 21:34:57 zerojay's package works great Apr 17 21:35:39 i need some opinions regarding zooming in chrome Apr 17 21:35:44 and fullscreen Apr 17 21:36:00 what about using volume buttons for zoom and fullscreen at the same time? Apr 17 21:36:31 pressing both vol+ and vol- for fullscreen? Apr 17 21:36:53 seems inconvenient Apr 17 21:36:55 ShadowJK, whatever it is, orange is REALLY freaking orange on Talk. Apr 17 21:36:58 no Apr 17 21:37:08 jacekowski, steal MicroB's fullscreen button? Apr 17 21:37:14 press volume+ at 0 zoom Apr 17 21:37:16 I don't think you can safely press both buttons Apr 17 21:37:18 and it goes to fullscreen Apr 17 21:37:26 then how do i zoom in? Apr 17 21:37:36 next press again and it zooms Apr 17 21:37:58 seems like id keep fullscreening when i dont want to Apr 17 21:38:24 jace so you have maxzoom - minzoom - fullscreen - minzoom - maxzoom Apr 17 21:38:54 so if you press zoom out, you zoom out, then you hit fullscreen, and if you keep pressing zoom out, you zoom in Apr 17 21:39:15 no Apr 17 21:39:15 to get out of fullscreen you need to zoom out again using hte other button Apr 17 21:39:20 not discoverable thoug Apr 17 21:39:21 h Apr 17 21:39:42 you have your zoom at 0 and no fullscreen Apr 17 21:39:47 and you press zoom in Apr 17 21:39:54 and it goes like that Apr 17 21:40:26 0 -> fullscreen -> zoom level 1 -> zoom level 2 -> ...... Apr 17 21:40:27 * noobmonk3y is gonna go to bed early :( - too much pudding :( Apr 17 21:40:43 and when are you going back Apr 17 21:40:46 it would be Apr 17 21:41:18 .... -> zoom level 2 -> zoom level 1 -> zoom level 0 -> disable fullscreen Apr 17 21:42:12 how do you enable fullscreen then Apr 17 21:42:20 you press zoom in once Apr 17 21:42:28 I'm probalt misunderstanding - it's too late - and not enough pudding Apr 17 21:42:59 basicaly zoom in/out will have alternative function at zoom level 0 Apr 17 21:43:33 which would be switching fullscreen Apr 17 21:43:52 GAN900, it's because of the reduce blue and red resolution that the screen looks fuzzy for text and sharp features Apr 17 21:56:10 i wonder if there is a white slavery market for programmers... Apr 17 21:56:34 yeah, indians will do whatever you want for half price Apr 17 21:57:00 and it's called outsourcing Apr 17 21:58:30 can i have my screen in portrait mode? Can i have a virtual key board to type in google search (example)? Apr 17 21:59:33 yes, don't know Apr 17 22:00:08 pupnik, how then for the yes? Apr 17 22:01:37 * PhonicUK is happy :D Apr 17 22:04:18 inkbottle: need to type a keycombination and browser switches to auto-rotate Apr 17 22:04:43 ctrl-fn-r or something Apr 17 22:05:01 CTRL SHIFT O Apr 17 22:05:30 ty Apr 17 22:07:39 * PhonicUK is not happy Apr 17 22:07:43 there is no ! Apr 17 22:08:18 o.O Apr 17 22:08:38 I'm using Qt Creator and MADDE Apr 17 22:08:47 and it doesn't like "#include " Apr 17 22:10:26 hello. Apr 17 22:11:10 ow PhonicUK . call the paramedics Apr 17 22:11:47 its a pain because i can see the includes in my toolchain Apr 17 22:12:13 so, is there any news about the n900 getting meego? Apr 17 22:12:24 or is it still most likely a dead-end phone? Apr 17 22:13:26 NotDigital, depends on how you define "dead-end" Apr 17 22:13:31 I just want flash 10.1 :\ Apr 17 22:13:45 gan900: "abandoned by the vendor" Apr 17 22:13:56 Basically, the situation isn't even close to that black and white Apr 17 22:14:00 that said i'd be pissed if next week they announced something using a fancy new 1.2GHz ARM chip Apr 17 22:14:00 I want my own castle with a small team of experts... Apr 17 22:14:15 pupnik, can i come? :P Apr 17 22:14:28 gan900: please enlighten me :) Apr 17 22:14:45 Hypothetically of course PhonicUK Apr 17 22:14:51 awesome Apr 17 22:15:05 I have this n900 and it's insanely cool, but I'm worried that developers are going to move to meego development once that comes out and there will be no more new stuff ported/developed for the n900. Apr 17 22:15:15 NotDigital, well, API-wise Harmattan/MeeGo and Fremantle are compatible on the application level. Apr 17 22:15:34 NotDigital, with Qt, etc. Apr 17 22:15:36 its just a matter of what hardware they have in mind for MeeGo Apr 17 22:15:56 N900 is the ARM dev platform for MeeGo the distro Apr 17 22:16:27 well, not really - the n900 was retroactively named the dev platform for meego. but it was originally intended as the flagship for maemo. Apr 17 22:16:48 No news on whether MeeGo/Harmattan will support N900, though. Apr 17 22:17:07 NotDigital, so, in summary, it's obnoxiously complicated. . . . Apr 17 22:17:14 NotDigital, erm. . . . Apr 17 22:17:33 and there will be a lot of pressure on them to come up with a phone that has a 1ghz snapdragon or whatever, so the first meego phone might be technically API-compatible with the n900, but far too underpowered to actually run many applications. Apr 17 22:17:35 NotDigital, I'm not sure what you think that statement means Apr 17 22:18:05 I'm not either. I'm talking out my ass in the hopes that someone will correct me. :) Apr 17 22:18:10 NotDigital, MeeGo wasn't actually a thing until the last few months Apr 17 22:18:28 NotDigital, basically, there are a lot of people who want what you want Apr 17 22:19:29 I have this vague hope that nokia would realize that abandoning the n900 would be flipping the bird to a bunch of hard-core fanboys that develop loads of weird shit for their phones, and it would be a terrible business move to do so. Apr 17 22:19:43 NotDigital, and we're not completely beholden to Nokia to provide it. Apr 17 22:19:53 NotDigital, so if Nokia doesn't, somebody will. Apr 17 22:20:12 * GAN900 made that point to Ari on Wednesday Apr 17 22:20:20 (though in friendlier terms) Apr 17 22:20:26 who is ari? Apr 17 22:20:30 Jaaksi Apr 17 22:20:37 ... Apr 17 22:20:42 Google. :P Apr 17 22:20:47 NotDigital, i agree, a lot of the 'real' fans already got their N900 and won't just buy another phone right away if it runs a new OS. The N900 isn't that old yet Apr 17 22:21:38 * GAN900 may lose GPRS soon. Apr 17 22:22:06 pupnik, i've read ctrl-shift-o; i haven't tried yet, i only have 2 hands Apr 17 22:22:22 and 10 fingers Apr 17 22:22:28 yeah, I have my phone doing the portrait-mode browsing - it's cool but not especially useful. Apr 17 22:22:29 or so Apr 17 22:22:34 thumb-indexfinger-thumb Apr 17 22:22:43 the status bar along the bottom doesn't fit so you lose the resize/stop/bookmarks/etc buttons. Apr 17 22:22:57 so you end up flipping back to landscape every time you need to interact with the browser. Apr 17 22:23:28 it's only good if you read pages that tend to be very long so you don't need to tell the browser what you want to do very often. Apr 17 22:23:55 NotDigital, figure out who Ari is? :P Apr 17 22:24:17 NotDigital, control-l is helpful Apr 17 22:24:35 the whitehouse spokesman during the early years of the bush presidency? Apr 17 22:24:42 as is the backspace key and swiping from the right side of the screen for history. Apr 17 22:25:08 I kid. Yes, apparently he's a bigwig for meego development. Neat. Apr 17 22:25:28 NotDigital, Ari Jaaksi is VP of Maemo Devices and MeeGo Operations, so.... Apr 17 22:26:30 GAN900, thanks for the tips; so i've tried; i might not have a recent enough firmware Apr 17 22:29:57 version is 2.2009.51-1 Apr 17 22:30:22 inkbottle, you're behind. Apr 17 22:31:02 how do i upgrade that? Apr 17 22:31:17 Application Manager Apr 17 22:31:21 Tap update Apr 17 22:31:30 Install the Maemo update Apr 17 22:31:55 i dont even know yet how to be root (ok ill try that :) ) Apr 17 22:32:08 backup first Apr 17 22:32:09 Install rootsh Apr 17 22:32:15 Open XTerm Apr 17 22:32:19 unless you got nothing to lose Apr 17 22:32:20 type 'root' Apr 17 22:32:25 lcuk, it prompts you. Apr 17 22:33:50 it deserves mentioning before you are actually wanting to update Apr 17 22:34:09 lcuk, backup my files, or the system; in case it's the files i dont have yet Apr 17 22:34:25 lcuk, ok Apr 17 22:34:26 It offers to do it for you. Apr 17 22:35:16 GAN900, so i'm at nokia sys soft update, now Apr 17 22:35:50 inkbottle, do the backup, install the update. Apr 17 22:45:14 i've got a "downloads.maemo.nokia.com could not contact dns server"; though i can reach google, and nokia support for instance; and i types the address in in the desktop computer i speaking to you with "downloads.maemo.nokia.com/fremantle/ssu/apps/./Packages" it seems ok Apr 17 22:47:13 night all Apr 17 22:47:15 debian chroot. I've got aptitude showing 'build-essentials' info - how do I install this? Apr 17 23:03:52 it doesn't seem so easy to update the firmware Apr 17 23:05:06 inkbottle, http://www.youtube.com/user/Maemo5UITeam#p/u/4/At9tJHmgnrE Apr 17 23:05:30 ok Apr 17 23:09:36 how can i be root; mean type su (then type root's password that of course i don't know...) Apr 17 23:09:52 inkbottle, what exactly do you want to do Apr 17 23:09:57 update or gain root? Apr 17 23:12:52 not at the same time but the two (i'm used when doing system administration to be root; but this can wait) (i'm at present watching the video you gave me) Apr 17 23:15:13 I'll keep doing that later... Apr 17 23:15:26 thank you very much you all Apr 17 23:15:41 and see you later :) bye Apr 17 23:15:43 why are there directories with .directory? Wouldn't it be easier without the .? Apr 17 23:15:52 Am I missing something? Apr 17 23:16:11 dima202, .directories are hidden Apr 17 23:16:18 ok, but why? Apr 17 23:16:27 mostly config files Apr 17 23:16:41 unless you meant the 32GB eMMC Apr 17 23:16:43 No, my videos, ringtones, etc.. all in .direcories Apr 17 23:16:50 uhuh Apr 17 23:16:51 oh, imo that was stupid Apr 17 23:17:09 ok, thanks I agree with your opinion Apr 17 23:17:14 the old FM Apr 17 23:17:16 file manager Apr 17 23:17:19 (I think) Apr 17 23:17:27 only supported hidden folders Apr 17 23:17:42 that was fixed, but part of the mistake was inherited Apr 17 23:17:58 got ya Apr 17 23:25:25 well it's userland that hides them Apr 17 23:25:37 if you use kernel syscalls to list directory contents Apr 17 23:25:41 you will get everything Apr 17 23:25:51 including . .. and all .folder folders Apr 17 23:26:11 and then userland part decides to skip some of them Apr 17 23:26:39 so "old file manager supported them" is not very precise Apr 17 23:32:01 <MohammadAG> (I think) Apr 17 23:32:14 I never touched Diablo or Chinook Apr 17 23:32:18 so I have no idea Apr 17 23:32:24 I just had a quick read about it Apr 17 23:46:26 well, that's linux thing Apr 17 23:48:42 <_llll_> they are . so that the name "Documents" can be translated or something dumb Apr 17 23:53:21 * evilBunny says hello Apr 18 00:32:46 grr I hate websites that redirect you to a mobile version of a page, without any link to view the full version Apr 18 00:40:42 Hey people Apr 18 00:41:14 Need help about pidgin Apr 18 00:46:23 I'll throw the bloody Nexus One to a wall. Apr 18 00:56:32 the touch screen keyboard is the worst excuse of a virtual piece of hardware ever existed Apr 18 01:01:57 Myrtti, lol. Apr 18 01:08:35 Sigh, N900 has blank screened and nothing seems to be able to revive it. Apr 18 01:09:57 jelmer: black screen? Apr 18 01:10:00 charger? Apr 18 01:10:04 jelmer, what charger have you used? Apr 18 01:10:19 I had that once, used the adapter with some other nokia charger and it simply didn't provide enough Apr 18 01:10:49 I let it charge for 15-20 mins and then got it to boot, but after short usage it shut down again so I let it recharge over the night and it only reached 30% or so Apr 18 01:11:33 with some other chargers I don't get that, and it's pretty easy to find out if it can handle the N900, the adapter will warm up :) Apr 18 01:12:02 (significantly) Apr 18 01:14:57 DocScrutinizer: yeah, black screen indeed Apr 18 01:15:16 jelmer: and indicator LED still working? Apr 18 01:15:20 joga: I've only used the charger and the USB cable that came with the N900 Apr 18 01:15:21 DocScrutinizer: yes Apr 18 01:15:29 jelmer: ok Apr 18 01:15:34 same here :-/ Apr 18 01:16:04 yours is dead too? Apr 18 01:16:05 DocScrutinizer: When I try to boot it it comes up in white, orange led flashes twice and then briefly flashes green. Apr 18 01:16:22 then shuts down, and goes into a loop Apr 18 01:16:27 I had that on day 3 Apr 18 01:16:42 jelmer: you might try to hook it up to your TV and see if you also got vertical bars or a completely black screen with some rubish in the center Apr 18 01:17:03 removed the sim and microSD card, as well as the battery for a couple of mins then I just reinserted the battery Apr 18 01:17:58 DocScrutinizer: I just get a black screen if I hook it up to a tv unfortunately Apr 18 01:18:12 same here Apr 18 01:18:42 MohammadAG: I've tried it that with just the battery, I'll give it a try with the SIM and MicroSD as well though I wonder why that would work. Apr 18 01:18:43 izzox: what's your question? Apr 18 01:19:05 DocScrutinizer: when did the problem start occurring for you? Apr 18 01:19:14 TV shows greyish stripes or some small structures in center Apr 18 01:19:16 jelmer, actually it was the microSD causing it Apr 18 01:19:24 * MohammadAG klined himself Apr 18 01:19:26 :) Apr 18 01:20:15 anyways, I'm off Apr 18 01:20:19 Night Apr 18 01:20:27 jelmer: probably a mechanical problem with the flat platic cable connecting the lower half to screen half Apr 18 01:20:33 MohammadAG: g'night Apr 18 01:21:21 DocScrutinizer: ah; so probably something to take to the Nokia Shop? Apr 18 01:22:17 mine there since a week now Apr 18 01:24:36 jelmer: yours not even shows the NOKIA screen on boot, the one without backlight? Apr 18 01:25:10 DocScrutinizer: nope Apr 18 01:25:14 DocScrutinizer: it died overnight Apr 18 01:25:41 hmm, I think there's nothing you could do at home to fix it Apr 18 01:26:51 grmbl, worst possible time for it to die, in the middle of this #ashtag thing Apr 18 01:27:04 DocScrutinizer: in either case, thanks your comments Apr 18 01:28:49 jelmer: you could try to ssh into N900 - if you had a working setup before Apr 18 01:30:27 DocScrutinizer: Unfortunately I'm not at home so there's no wireless network it could be connecting to by itself. Apr 18 01:30:57 :-/ Apr 18 01:31:00 jelmer, charging from computer or psu Apr 18 01:31:26 remove sim and mmc as doc suggests and just try with battery alone Apr 18 01:32:01 ?? nope, not me Apr 18 01:32:23 good point sorry, it was moh Apr 18 01:32:29 mohamadag suggested it Apr 18 01:34:06 anyway my suggestion is quite similar: boot from battery without anything attached or inserted, and see if 'NOKIA' shows up on screen Apr 18 01:35:11 open up kbd slide in dim place (or with finger covering ambient light sensor) ans see if the backlight is enabled and goes off after a while Apr 18 01:35:44 kbd backlight that is Apr 18 01:36:42 DocScrutinizer: the kbd backlight does indeed go on and off after some time Apr 18 01:36:49 if kbd backlight works but nothing ever shows on screen, the you probably got a perfectly booted system with a hw defect in screen Apr 18 01:37:43 that's probably what it is then :-/ Apr 18 01:38:04 jelmer: I hope you haven't installed a OC-kernel? Apr 18 01:38:40 I don't know what an OC-kernel is so I guess not :-) Apr 18 01:38:49 ok :-) Apr 18 01:39:40 now that's defect #3 in ~2 weeks now, like this Apr 18 01:41:51 and the real nasty detail is the FPC is also holding the whole crap of the upper half (ALS, cam, indi-LED etc), so it's not exactly an easy or cheap repair Apr 18 01:43:22 and I just hope mine wasn't sent to Finland for repair, as it might take even longer to come back by air delivery :-/ Apr 18 01:43:33 jelmer, you never said - are you using usb lead now or charger Apr 18 01:43:55 and did you take out the other components Apr 18 01:44:05 how would that make any difference? Apr 18 01:44:30 (as it seems to boot up completely) Apr 18 01:44:38 how do you know? Apr 18 01:44:52 kbd backlight working - sw controlled Apr 18 01:44:57 DocScrutinizer: When I try to boot it it comes up in white, orange led flashes twice and then briefly flashes green. Apr 18 01:45:23 green also sw controlled Apr 18 01:45:26 backlight comes on at immediate first thing it could be any number of things Apr 18 01:45:48 lcuk: I've used both the USB cable to my laptop as well as the Nokia charger that came with my N900. Apr 18 01:45:50 eerrr huh? Apr 18 01:46:08 lcuk: and I've tried taking out the other components. Apr 18 01:46:24 the NOKIA screen is the very first thing after white indicator LED to come up Apr 18 01:46:29 how soon after the white led pulse do the other lights come on Apr 18 01:46:39 ie orange Apr 18 01:46:42 doesn't matter Apr 18 01:47:04 lcuk: 3 or 4 seconds I'd say Apr 18 01:47:12 NOLO doesn't show NOKIA, but system boots correctly Apr 18 01:47:25 ergo screen hw deffect Apr 18 01:47:38 and now all of a sudden I get the Nokia tune as well Apr 18 01:47:39 and how long does the orange light stay on for Apr 18 01:47:47 lcuk: it flashes slowly twice Apr 18 01:47:59 that *does not matter*! Apr 18 01:48:19 and is perfectly normal btw Apr 18 01:49:46 jelmer: I assume when you 'lock the screen' with slider switch, the green indicator lights up again Apr 18 01:52:05 or white breathing light, if it's not attached to charger/host Apr 18 01:52:23 DocScrutinizer: it triggers the backlight of the keybd but doesn't change the indicator light Apr 18 01:52:48 DocScrutinizer: it would be in the pincode prompting dialog Apr 18 01:52:58 omg Apr 18 01:53:00 pin code Apr 18 01:53:07 who uses pin Apr 18 01:53:48 not if tjhere's no SIM mounted Apr 18 01:54:08 DocScrutinizer: pin for the device Apr 18 01:54:15 ooouch Apr 18 01:55:26 anyway kbd backlight is controlled by mce daemon, so the system should be up and fine fro all that matters for LCD display Apr 18 01:56:24 which implies NOLO run OK but doesn'T show the NOKIA logo on screen Apr 18 01:57:38 I guess you could enter the PIN blindly via kbd Apr 18 01:57:52 though that won't buy you anything :-/ Apr 18 02:42:52 ssvb, I don't get vtbl... http://pastie.org/925301 Apr 18 02:43:06 it says byte indexes but it seems off Apr 18 02:43:34 I know the mask is a nop, but I'd expect it to be [0x33221100 ... ] Apr 18 02:43:50 err, [0x03020100 ... ] **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sun Apr 18 02:59:57 2010
