**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed May 26 02:59:57 2010 May 26 03:00:20 |R: think it's just basic files, same as when you got the N900 but in sync with PR 1.2 May 26 03:00:33 Out of curiosity, what is the difference between Global and Us? May 26 03:00:44 I flashed the eMMc too just to get a totally clean install May 26 03:00:57 <|R> puzzled: marketing crap? not Qt and all? May 26 03:00:59 I guess date format changes, some language changes may be May 26 03:01:12 Guess I'll try using the global, lol May 26 03:01:17 |R: qt is part of the main image May 26 03:01:23 <|R> oki :) May 26 03:01:27 |R: iirc there's Qt 4.6 preview in there May 26 03:01:50 <|R> eMMC plays with dpkg ? May 26 03:02:06 how big is the US one and how big is Global? May 26 03:02:06 <|R> that sounds awkward... or it's just a binary? and thus someone will post it i guess :) May 26 03:02:33 |R you can download the eMMC image from the same place as the PR 1.2 image May 26 03:02:59 Any reports of an OTA pr1.2 update other than in the UK? May 26 03:03:32 <|R> puzzled: i know, but i don't want to delete all i have on that partition May 26 03:03:48 then back it up :) May 26 03:03:52 <|R> also what's up with the holding 'u' ... didn't need that for earlier releases :) May 26 03:04:27 |R: Make sure you backup the "Backups" folder from eMMC before flashing May 26 03:04:27 <|R> puzzled: but if it's to get it emptied and filled by crap marketing garbage... May 26 03:05:47 |R: Before PR1.2 Vanilla eMMC had couple of Nokia videos (yes marketing), some ring tones and wall papers May 26 03:05:51 |R: afaik you need the eMMC image installed or your N900 won't work May 26 03:05:53 not sure about the updated image May 26 03:06:04 it's 250MB May 26 03:06:11 |R: the 'u' is supposedly not needed if flasher is catching the right moment of NOLO bootloader checking the USB. If you hold the 'u' then NOLO is supposed not to boot but instead stay in ready-to-flash state May 26 03:06:33 Just to make sure once again. I should flash PR1.2 first, without the -R. Then I flash the eMMC right? May 26 03:06:41 without unplugging the cable? May 26 03:07:03 <|R> DocScrutinizer: ok, i just used to plug it after starting flasher-3.5 May 26 03:07:16 MNX1024: yes May 26 03:07:30 MNX1024: as long as you do not reboot, sequence is irrelevant. If you happen to boot between, it's probably less problem to flash eMMC first May 26 03:08:19 as rootfs on first-boot will alter the eMMC data May 26 03:08:53 then when you flash eMMC after that, these edits are lost May 26 03:09:49 was reading the story about broken usb connectors on tmo. anyone have a similar experience? May 26 03:13:54 <|R> eMMC = /home ? May 26 03:15:23 For some reason, flasing the PR1.2 first and then trying to flash the eMMC does not seem to work May 26 03:15:41 I can't seem to get eMMC to flash right after PR1,2 May 26 03:18:22 question: would diamond polish work on the n900 screen? May 26 03:18:29 to remove scratches May 26 03:19:29 skynets, I think that would be more apt to introduce more scratches. May 26 03:23:51 bah May 26 03:28:04 I'm not sure any pollishing will work on touchscreens. tried with real paste and engine (dremel), on a OMNIA. result was scratch less but large dull spot May 26 03:29:09 :S May 26 03:29:20 so you've got scratches on your current screen? May 26 03:29:36 anyone know how hard it is to replace a screen? May 26 03:29:53 not sure but its only the digitizer May 26 03:30:08 60 bucks May 26 03:30:10 fuck May 26 03:30:33 not sure if i should get it for 2 small scratches May 26 03:30:40 it gets annoying May 26 03:31:48 MNX1024: Any error message? May 26 03:32:18 skynets, THere are products made that make scratches on eyeglasses less noticable. They might help, and are less apt than a polishing compound to make things worse (I think). May 26 03:32:30 Well, yes, still have the error message. May 26 03:32:43 Contacts app crashing? May 26 03:32:47 Yep May 26 03:33:38 Well that sux, I guess you have to wait for OTA then. Unless anyone has a suggestion May 26 03:33:54 Doubt OTa works May 26 03:34:00 I've finally narrowed down to the issue May 26 03:34:10 It's actually my sim card that is causing a conflict somehow May 26 03:34:24 And I don't know how to get T-Mobile to replace my sim card for free, lol May 26 03:34:35 And without noticing that I'm using their T-Zone plan with my N900 May 26 03:34:35 So if you use a different SIM card it works fine? May 26 03:34:42 yea May 26 03:35:12 <|R> can't you flash without a SIM ? May 26 03:35:26 That's not the problem May 26 03:35:40 yeah May 26 03:35:45 Yes he can but the problem reappears after inserting SIM May 26 03:35:51 if i got it right May 26 03:35:55 Yep May 26 03:36:02 ill check it out May 26 03:36:03 The problem occures only with "my" sim card May 26 03:36:12 Well, it is pretty old and busted up May 26 03:36:29 Now I have another Problem, my phone is not reading my microsd.... May 26 03:36:31 wtf.... May 26 03:36:33 I flashed from pr1.1 to 1.2 and back to 1.1 today and I connot for the life of me get my n900 to recognize my sim anymore May 26 03:36:39 PR1.2 just gave me so many problems. May 26 03:37:07 me too May 26 03:37:18 MNX1024: delete contacts from your sim May 26 03:37:19 If the N900 wasn't such a great phone and does the things I need, I would've trashed it by now. May 26 03:37:42 Try this here May 26 03:37:43 http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=640267&postcount=365 May 26 03:38:56 thunderfest: flashing back to 1.1 from 1.2 renders whole modem nonfunct May 26 03:39:04 known 'issue' May 26 03:39:22 You can fix that by flashing only the pr1.2's modem driver May 26 03:39:35 as 1.2 updates modem firmware May 26 03:39:46 yep May 26 03:39:51 probably May 26 03:39:55 Can somebody check a string for me? May 26 03:40:04 wow what a mess this all is May 26 03:40:22 I need to know what the first checkbox in the Browser options window where the cache, hardware key and other stuff is is called. May 26 03:40:32 "Automatically focus address bar" or something like that. May 26 03:41:12 yay! May 26 03:41:15 pr1.2 today? May 26 03:41:22 and can somebody tell me which button in options brings that dialog up? May 26 03:42:34 yes shinkamui May 26 03:42:48 GeneralAntilles: sorry no 1.2 here May 26 03:43:21 anyone who has it know if it fixes the missing 3D libs and some of the broken widgets in gtk apps? May 26 03:43:23 Doc, your tip really saved my butt!!! May 26 03:43:42 Deleting the contacts from my sim actually worked!!!!! May 26 03:43:44 my leaked 1.2 has been perfect other than those May 26 03:43:58 <|R> MNX1024: woohoo! May 26 03:44:02 <|R> MNX1024: everything is fixed? May 26 03:44:04 Now my only problem is that I can't read my microsd anymore.... May 26 03:44:08 Not everything May 26 03:44:09 <|R> doh May 26 03:44:11 microsd problem. May 26 03:44:12 lol May 26 03:44:19 one problem is fix, next comes up May 26 03:44:23 I don't think I like PR1.2 May 26 03:44:31 <|R> you can't mount it manually either? May 26 03:44:43 so my choices are....use pr1.2 and have gms abilities but no gles 1 (which I am currently using to make a game) ....or downgrade to pr1.1 which will render me gms unusable...or use pr 1.2 force the gles 1 which will create dependency problems...or downgrade to pr1.1 and use the gsm libs from the leaked pr 1.2 to create a "frankenbuild" May 26 03:44:44 What do you mean by mount it manually? May 26 03:45:00 <|R> MNX1024: well from a shell with the mount command May 26 03:45:08 GeneralAntilles: Open any webpage, Menu --> Options -->Settings May 26 03:45:10 thunderfest, woah, so gles is still broken in 1.2? May 26 03:45:11 franken build it is for you May 26 03:45:21 nooooo! May 26 03:45:32 R: you might want to instruct me on that May 26 03:45:32 * shinkamui is dissapointed, he really wants descent on his n900 :( May 26 03:45:36 shinkamui: yes gles is still broken in pr1.2 May 26 03:45:45 <|R> MNX1024: gimmie a sec :) May 26 03:45:48 pardon my french, but that is fucking GAY. May 26 03:46:05 But the fact that I can't use my microsd just by going to file manager or through my other app is a no no May 26 03:46:12 so I guess bounce evo doesn't work on 1.2 either May 26 03:46:18 <|R> MNX1024: in the shell, typing : df do you see anything saying mmcblk1p1 ? May 26 03:46:22 not that it matters, but thats silly, nokia best be fixin it May 26 03:46:57 I have mmcblk0p1 May 26 03:46:59 lol May 26 03:47:08 and mmcblk0p2 May 26 03:47:08 <|R> yeah that's MyDocs May 26 03:47:14 <|R> and /home May 26 03:47:34 well, I have /home/opt May 26 03:47:35 shinkamui: we filed the bug report earlier (https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6816) please vote on it and maybe we can get this issue fixed May 26 03:47:36 Bug 6816: OpenGL ES 1.1 should be supported May 26 03:48:39 <|R> MNX1024: yes but what you want is /media/mmc1 which would be your microSD May 26 03:49:02 Let me reflash one "last" time and hope it would work May 26 03:49:11 if not, I'll come back and bother you in 5 minutes, lol May 26 03:49:14 <|R> yeah maybe that's it May 26 03:49:16 <|R> :) May 26 03:49:21 MNX1024: Good luck again May 26 03:49:32 this time try eMMC first and FW next? May 26 03:49:39 <|R> I'm waiting for my backup to finish before trying to flash... a friend just flashed his with only the root (not eMMC) and it seems to work... May 26 03:49:44 as DocScrutinizer said May 26 03:49:48 sci: that's what I've been doing, lol May 26 03:49:58 :) May 26 03:50:00 thunderfest, voting as we speak May 26 03:50:08 thanks May 26 03:50:09 when i did the opposite, like you guys told me, flashing eMMC in the end never seems to flash May 26 03:50:10 lol May 26 03:50:11 thunderfest: done May 26 03:50:31 <|R> weird May 26 03:51:02 sure, you don't need to flash eMMC when updating to 1.2 May 26 03:52:01 if you're talking about me, then my reason for it was because I did too much stupid stuff on the phone and I need a clean install. :D May 26 03:52:17 <|R> DocScrutinizer51: there is nothing of value to the system, you're sure? anyone seen a list of files around? (diff between eMMCs) May 26 03:52:18 but who told you to flash eMMC last? May 26 03:52:33 <|R> i've read that somewhere too May 26 03:52:37 <|R> (eMMC flash) May 26 03:52:37 DocScutinizer51: thats me May 26 03:53:09 After rereading the wiki, I've realize, I was right in the first place. You have to flash eMMC first. lol May 26 03:53:19 .... May 26 03:53:34 why is flasher-3.5 forcibly rebooting my device when I tell it to flash the eMMC May 26 03:53:48 MNX1024: yes. as I told you May 26 03:53:57 What confused me was scifi told me to flash the fw first, and the new red message in the wiki May 26 03:54:10 Few weeks ago I followed this blog blindly http://maemocentral.com/2010/02/05/how-to-hard-reset-the-n900-to-the-factory-state/ May 26 03:54:22 It said FW first and eMMC next May 26 03:54:28 it worked for me anyway May 26 03:54:34 <|R> hehe May 26 03:54:39 But what u said made sense May 26 03:54:41 which is what I'm doing May 26 03:54:54 microlith: Then don't do it :) May 26 03:54:59 and instead it reboots the device into a non-working state May 26 03:55:06 rather than actually flashing the N900 May 26 03:55:43 simple rule: flashing eMMC will break your system. So you need to flash rootfs after that May 26 03:55:59 scifi: well, this wiki here said you have to flash the eMMC first: https://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_firmware May 26 03:56:06 there we go May 26 03:56:15 Yes thats the official source :) May 26 03:56:20 <|R> the question is... May 26 03:56:25 <|R> why do you have to flash the eMMC ... May 26 03:56:26 DocScrutinizer51: if that's the case then Nokia needs to fix their site May 26 03:56:28 but you confused me with the whole flashing fw first, lol May 26 03:57:02 MNX1024: Sorry, hope your N900 is back to usable state soon :) May 26 03:57:09 I do hope so, lol May 26 03:57:14 at least I got the contacts part fix May 26 03:57:17 microlith: it's obvious as eMMC flash kills /homeVopt May 26 03:57:23 now I just hope this reflash would save my memory card May 26 03:57:56 I doubt May 26 03:57:59 sorry May 26 03:58:43 DocScrutinizer51: realizing that now, however Nokia's own site describes the exact reverse May 26 04:00:40 anyway as long as you don't boot the freshly flashed rootfs nothing bad will happen if you flash 'wrong' sequence May 26 04:00:45 I give up, the phone still can't read my memory card May 26 04:00:56 toldya May 26 04:01:15 Looks like I'll send my phone in for a replacement once I get a new phone, lol. May 26 04:01:16 reformat the card May 26 04:01:29 except trying to flash in the wrong order -will- break your device, as trying to flash the eMMC forces a reboot May 26 04:01:30 probably the MBR got corrupted May 26 04:01:39 MBR? May 26 04:01:47 master boot record May 26 04:02:03 Does anyone know why scratchbox would have a different version of Qt than my n900? :/ May 26 04:02:08 I need some elaboration. May 26 04:03:32 MNX1024: in your desktop linux call cfdisk for the uSD May 26 04:04:05 delete all partitions, create one VFAT partition May 26 04:04:32 then mkfs.vfat a fs on the card May 26 04:04:57 take care not to accidentaly nuke your harddisk May 26 04:04:59 I have no idea what you just said to me, lol May 26 04:05:22 But all I can say is, thanks a lot for helping me. May 26 04:05:36 MNX1024, have you formatted your card? May 26 04:05:45 just did May 26 04:05:51 how did you do it? May 26 04:05:59 right click, format May 26 04:06:03 restore to default May 26 04:06:43 not sure how it varies, but you might want to try what docScrutinzer suggested May 26 04:06:48 if you have linux installed May 26 04:07:09 You can google 'cfdisk' which is a partion manager program thingy May 26 04:08:07 DocScrutinizer51, anything specific holding you back? May 26 04:08:22 Looks like reformating my card made it fine. May 26 04:08:26 no OTA May 26 04:08:48 MNX1024: woohoo May 26 04:09:07 Did not think 1.2 would give me this much trouble..... May 26 04:09:21 The previous firmware was a breeze... May 26 04:09:52 MNX1024: the uSD issue probably was unrelated May 26 04:10:09 it was? May 26 04:10:20 It was working fine before May 26 04:10:30 but the heck with it. It's fine now, so no point in pondering. May 26 04:10:35 Thanks a lot though!!! May 26 04:10:49 MNX1024: fat has no error checking so really the satement should be "I knew of no errors" May 26 04:11:01 sure a point in pondering May 26 04:11:19 MNX1024: it could have been very broken for a very long time. Wife's sd cards always seem messed up one way or anothen May 26 04:11:26 wiki needs a recommendation to remove uSD prior to flashing May 26 04:11:50 Not as of now. Got to head to bed and wake up early, then go on my 50 mile bike ride. May 26 04:11:58 remove battery - WTF! sure this can kill the uSD May 26 04:12:03 I was suppose to be in bed at an hour ago... May 26 04:12:14 MNX1024: So ur issues fixed? May 26 04:12:19 yep May 26 04:12:21 everything is fine May 26 04:12:22 cool May 26 04:12:23 DocScrutinizer51, ah, right, somehow UK got it first. May 26 04:12:30 once I'm done with installing all my ap, I gotta sleep May 26 04:12:40 Good night May 26 04:12:51 night May 26 04:14:01 * DocScrutinizer51 firing up HAM just another time :-S May 26 04:14:05 there, ticking again May 26 04:14:49 Anyone know of a bike dashboard for the N900? May 26 04:14:57 I've been looking for one so I can attach it to my bike. May 26 04:16:30 nope, sorry May 26 04:18:30 MNX1024: someone made one and won an awards May 26 04:18:52 don't know if they ever released the code May 26 04:19:47 * RST38h yawns, watching just the right selection of tmo posters bitch about pr1.2 not being available in the US yet May 26 04:20:17 wfm, like I care about the US ;) May 26 04:20:42 RST38h, who cares? Buggy as shit anyway. May 26 04:20:48 * DocScrutinizer yawns sympathizing May 26 04:21:06 GAN: anything really bad I should look out for? May 26 04:21:36 * DocScrutinizer ponders to postpone update for another week :-P May 26 04:21:45 rsalveti, May 26 04:21:45 just in case May 26 04:21:47 er May 26 04:21:57 RST38h, haven't found anything nasty May 26 04:22:10 Just a whole lot of sloppy rough edges and regressions May 26 04:22:19 DocScrutinizer, wont help May 26 04:22:21 B May 26 04:22:29 cool, regressions - I *love* it May 26 04:22:30 Nothing'll be different in a wekk. May 26 04:22:41 nice vague insinuation May 26 04:22:49 Maybe my typing will be worse. May 26 04:22:59 GAN900: workarounds for problems yet to find will be known in a week May 26 04:23:04 Got two bugs out tonight May 26 04:23:07 I haven't seen any major problems with 19-1 May 26 04:23:21 Gonna try to do the more involved ones tomorrow evening. May 26 04:23:43 ah May 26 04:24:21 WW19 is pretty fresh stuff btw May 26 04:24:38 e.g who'd have known you possibly need to erase all contacts from SIM, not to cause contacts app to crash in a second May 26 04:24:44 well it's -1, so I assume wk18 probably has a million builds ;) May 26 04:24:49 The dashboard I meant means the mount for it, lol May 26 04:24:50 I love that it was delayed forever and still sucks May 26 04:25:39 GAN900: a very nice bug btw May 26 04:25:41 GAN: That has been fully expected though May 26 04:26:03 RST38h, true enough May 26 04:26:04 GAN900: probably caused by new modem FW May 26 04:26:26 MNX1024: Seems like u r not the only one with crashing issues May 26 04:26:35 RST38h, it's amazing that no matter how much I manage to lower my expectations, Nokia still slips under the bar May 26 04:26:41 http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=677799#post677799 May 26 04:26:42 Bth psychologically (too long wait time inflating expectations) and testing-wise (I do not believe they really test) May 26 04:26:51 DocScrutinizer, SIM contacts are ugly anyway. :P May 26 04:26:57 RST38h, nor I May 26 04:27:01 lol, agreed May 26 04:27:06 lol, looks like I wasn't the only unlucky fella May 26 04:27:09 It's amazing what slips through the cracks May 26 04:27:15 Yep May 26 04:27:24 It's like the nazi-checklist against their stupid specks May 26 04:27:35 I'm almost done with my apps, and bed I will head to afterwards. May 26 04:27:37 and test for certifications May 26 04:27:42 and call it a day May 26 04:27:46 more or less May 26 04:27:53 * asj smells the wiff of whinning May 26 04:28:00 s/specks/specs May 26 04:28:57 but then, such a complex UI is a bitch to test May 26 04:28:59 I think it would be beneficial to release a small number of more frequent small updates than large ones though May 26 04:29:14 cannot test it well with the unit tests (which are overrated anyway) May 26 04:29:25 asj, I'm filing bugs, so your nose is miscalibrated. :) May 26 04:29:30 but then stuff would break all the time instead of all at once May 26 04:29:44 they could have done it by releasing a beta to the community and addressing community bug reports May 26 04:29:53 asj, Nokia's processes are completely incapable of working like that. May 26 04:29:57 but no, that is apparently not how nokia works May 26 04:30:11 RST38h: iirc, they ignored most input from the 300 they released last september, no? May 26 04:30:13 GAN900: you must know them better than me May 26 04:30:18 RST38h, well, certification takes to long May 26 04:30:36 microlith: Not ignored, they are still fixing bugs reported by those 300 people May 26 04:30:52 If you get a beta out a month ahead of release then only critical data-eating bugs can be fixed. May 26 04:30:53 I would be fine with their slow updates if they at least had open beta processes May 26 04:30:58 GAN: You only have to recertify when you change cellmo and power management May 26 04:31:09 RST38h, Flash, too. May 26 04:31:11 so what apps can I uninstall for free up for OTA? May 26 04:31:12 GAN: Changes to desktop or pa do not require that May 26 04:31:17 hi, anyone on virtual keyboard know a way to just enter text rather type enter character? May 26 04:31:25 w/o sliding hwkb out May 26 04:31:27 I suspect you would shocked at how small the n900 team is now May 26 04:31:29 and they have their own inhouse bullshit, too. May 26 04:31:51 asj, not at all May 26 04:31:52 ...then I could have proper updates and testing while keeping Mom on the stable release May 26 04:31:54 eg. on skype chat i enter, and it types enter, not enter the text for me May 26 04:31:59 They should just hire some Android process management guy May 26 04:32:01 oh i forget to click outside May 26 04:32:09 asj, I'm just sick and tired of Nokia screwing over this platform. May 26 04:32:10 GAN900: by your comments I could beg to differ May 26 04:32:20 asj, meh. May 26 04:32:30 asj, been here for 5 years. May 26 04:32:51 asj, I know all of the excuses May 26 04:32:58 asj: A lot of people at #maemo have got sort of a history with Maemo devices May 26 04:33:02 I just don't think they're acceptable. May 26 04:33:08 asj: We have heard *all* of this before May 26 04:33:34 RST38h: what's your point? It's a dead end device with fw that's dead end in maintainance mode May 26 04:34:08 asj: My point is that the manufacturer should not declare device dead 3 months after manufacture May 26 04:34:16 Which justifies a bit of bitching when you've poured as much of your time into it as we have. May 26 04:34:23 ok, dumbass May 26 04:34:24 just click outside you insensitive clod May 26 04:34:24 bah May 26 04:34:59 wall[e], virtual input hasn't been tested by Nokia since the N810. May 26 04:35:20 Since the N810 came out, right May 26 04:35:32 The PR1.2 vkb is a fucking joke May 26 04:35:40 asj: My other point is that non-critical stuff (no certification) should be updated often, both to show that Nokia cares *and* to collect bug reports May 26 04:35:54 "Let's make it more useful by making the keys IMPOSSIBLE to hit!" May 26 04:36:08 GAN: BTW, Opera keyboard is quite nice May 26 04:36:17 * RST38h would not be averse to having that everywhere May 26 04:36:18 RST38h, problem is, they don't care and they don't want bug reports. ;) May 26 04:36:29 WTF we're they thinking? May 26 04:36:35 GAN: Correct. Or such is the impression, anyway May 26 04:36:43 anyone try this to quickly gain OTA space? http://wiki.maemo.org/User:Tanner#Safely_free_some_space_on_rootfs May 26 04:36:44 They are thinking of selling you the NEXT device? :) May 26 04:36:47 Let's use space for this vkb as inefficiently as possible. May 26 04:36:49 RST38h: we agree there, I think it would be better to release more frequently May 26 04:37:20 Idiocy May 26 04:37:24 ...and that next device often becomes an Android device lately May 26 04:37:29 60 wpm on the N800 May 26 04:37:30 RST38h: but there seem to be release maturity issues within the mameo group May 26 04:37:43 asj: Please use English May 26 04:37:43 down to about 40 wpm on PR1.0 May 26 04:37:46 morn May 26 04:37:49 moo Sts May 26 04:37:51 down to about 35 on PR1.1 May 26 04:38:00 Ah, GAN, you will learn :))) May 26 04:38:00 down to less than 30 on PR1.2 May 26 04:38:07 Something isn't right here. May 26 04:38:23 * GAN900 sleeps. May 26 04:38:25 your touchscreen is losing sensitivity maybe? =) May 26 04:38:43 RST38h, no, the software is trending towards "fucking useless" May 26 04:39:15 there shouldnt even be a vkb May 26 04:39:17 moo Stskeeps May 26 04:39:18 RST38h: hmm? big projects stopping cleanly releasing, continuing work and merging changes upstream as work continues is something that takes time to learn how to do well May 26 04:39:23 * |R flashed, restoring 940MB :P May 26 04:39:53 * Stskeeps notes things didn't calm down overnight May 26 04:40:10 Lot of ppl are facing issues with eMMC flashing.

May 26 04:41:01 * ShadowJK missed all the excitement May 26 04:41:20 asj: This is not a software project May 26 04:41:23 docsc May 26 04:41:26 But I'm guessing people discover that despite 5 months in the works it's not the holy grail May 26 04:41:29 DocScrutinizer, clearly. May 26 04:41:36 asj: This is a hardware support project. makes it different. May 26 04:41:40 But still... May 26 04:41:42 RST38h: not in the least May 26 04:41:50 ShadowJK: No shit, Sherlock... May 26 04:41:57 * GAN900 really sleeps May 26 04:42:52 * ShadowJK wonders if there's a way to get kernel to tell you the total amount of locked memory May 26 04:42:54 ShadowJK: And that has not started yet. The moment OTA hits the US, we will all have to close t.m.o and wait for a week, until lemmings calm down May 26 04:42:57 would be interesting to compare 1.1.1 and 1.2 May 26 04:42:57 ehlo ShadowJK May 26 04:43:07 hello May 26 04:44:08 RST38h: ack :-) May 26 04:44:15 i hear 1.2 feels faster May 26 04:44:25 RST38h: just because it runs on a phone doesn't make it hardware, maemo is a huge software project. Treating it as anything but is the road to failure. May 26 04:44:32 i hear 1.2 falls faster May 26 04:44:34 I just have to reboot 1.1.1 and it feels faster ;-) May 26 04:44:53 asj: it has got certain specifics May 26 04:44:57 asj: consider this May 26 04:45:10 ShadowJK: oh yesss May 26 04:45:29 i think asj has a good point May 26 04:45:39 asj: Your random open-source software project is a piece of free software that comes with no expectations attached May 26 04:45:43 calling 1.2 "firmware" doesnt make it so May 26 04:45:43 is the 1.2 going to show up in thhe applicatoin manager? May 26 04:45:58 <|R> libgles is screwed up apparently... May 26 04:45:59 asj: People who do not like it may switch to different software or modify it to their needs May 26 04:46:03 RST38h: I disagree with that, but continue May 26 04:46:35 asj: Maemo isn't just software. 100% of its user base have plunked n*$100 to buy devices that run nothing but Maemo May 26 04:46:41 actually calling it firmware is braindamaged May 26 04:46:48 ~dict firmware May 26 04:46:51 Dictionary 'firmware' (1 of 3): /ferm'weir/ n. Embedded software contained in EPROM or flash memory. It isn't quite hardware, but at least doesn't have to be loaded from a disk like regular software. Hacker usage differs from straight techspeak in that hackers don't normally apply it to stuff that you can't possibly get at, such as the program that runs a pocket calculator. Instead, it implies that the firmware could be changed, even if doing so ... May 26 04:47:04 asj: Nor can people fix all Maemo problems by themselves May 26 04:47:04 ty DocScrutinizer May 26 04:47:33 RST38h: if I buy MS Word (vista, windows 7, etc) I'm not buying hardware, I'm buying closed source software May 26 04:48:22 |R: yes gles is screwed up ... gles2 works but not gles1.1 May 26 04:48:26 what's a retail full price copy of Office these days? it's well over $500, and it contains bugs like any other, and has no offical bug filling method to boot ;) May 26 04:49:07 and office 2007 has some pretty harsh regressions, too :) May 26 04:49:19 evidence: there's a folder with firmware *inside* maemo rootfs. So you might argue the rest of it obviously isn't firmware then May 26 04:50:10 * wall[e] kept googling for maego related info and wonder why there was no result. May 26 04:50:11 * ShadowJK wonders if 1.2 fixes the occasional need to cycle device offline for 60s to regain cellular May 26 04:50:13 that dict link ecplains it May 26 04:50:51 also fw generally isn't edited/configured by the user May 26 04:51:03 <|R> python-gobject also missing ... May 26 04:51:31 asj: Office cost me $10, or I would never buy it. May 26 04:52:07 asj: Even at $10, I seriously doubt the usefullness of this purchase. May 26 04:52:23 heh May 26 04:52:27 But Office is patched way more frequently than Maemo May 26 04:52:47 RST38h: anyways, you can make the same argument against any commercial software, and it seems as the price increase so do the bugs...I could tell you horror stories about $15k software packages May 26 04:53:11 ok all I have a workaround for gles1.1 on pr 1.2 May 26 04:53:19 asj: I can tell you horror stories about $1b software packages :) May 26 04:53:31 thunder: What is wrong with gles1.1 there? May 26 04:53:52 <|R> arf a bunch of widget requires pyhton-gobject :/ May 26 04:53:53 nokia forgot to build the libs for it May 26 04:54:10 is a backup from 1.1.1 restorable in 1.2? May 26 04:54:21 <|R> yep May 26 04:54:31 thunderfest: OMFG... May 26 04:54:49 okay so I could just do a backup, uninstall all my apps for rootfs space, then restore safely May 26 04:55:31 opdf2: yes except some some apps that depend on opengles 1.1 will not reinstall (brainparty GLtron nehe ect) May 26 04:55:31 thunderfest: got a prog that uses gles 1.1 yet? May 26 04:55:43 tty May 26 04:56:02 thunderfest: okay thanks for the heads up May 26 04:56:04 ShadowJK: rarely seen here (60s offline) May 26 04:56:17 damn. never had widget play button bug til pr1.2 May 26 04:56:30 that's still a bug in 1.2? May 26 04:56:31 pupnik: yes I can run the nehe demos and my own opengles apps May 26 04:56:47 it just doesn't work May 26 04:56:58 aww, no pr1.2 yet May 26 04:56:58 i didn't have it before though May 26 04:57:11 and it works as i change theme. the weirdest thing ever May 26 04:57:46 as well sometimes ukbrd doesn't appear till reboot May 26 04:58:03 i hope wouldn't wait another 5 months for fixes ) May 26 04:58:24 wall[e]: I gather you found the bug meanwhile in google? :-D May 26 04:59:04 ZogG: Caused by other applets (OMWeather, RSS, USSD) May 26 04:59:15 remove them May 26 04:59:23 It'd be funny if there was a typo in some tiny script somewhere that completely killed, for example, microsd, and we'd have to wait until November :D May 26 04:59:31 how do i check libraries and packeges in maemo. if they allright. like revdep-rebuild May 26 04:59:41 ShadowJK: Lack of gles1.1 is a huge problem for me May 26 04:59:46 Almost like that typo May 26 04:59:59 RST38h, still it's bug. May 26 05:00:17 Wolfie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=18EAqHx2lMk May 26 05:00:20 start filing bugreports :D May 26 05:00:56 ZogG: It has been filed. May 26 05:01:00 DocScrutinizer: :D, nah, i'll wait. Just somehow thought for it to be available at midnight May 26 05:01:05 And even researched, a little bit May 26 05:01:11 yes everyone please vote on the opengl es 1.1 bug (https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6816) May 26 05:01:12 Bug 6816: OpenGL ES 1.1 should be supported May 26 05:01:53 but the workaround is working I just installed brainparty and it works May 26 05:02:36 what is the workarond? Use the old library? May 26 05:03:45 yeah force the old library to install...its not a real solution cause if ans when the real lib come out you'll have dependency all over the place May 26 05:04:02 dman, too late, but anyway: May 26 05:04:23 HAPPY 5TH BIRTHDAY #MAEMO May 26 05:06:09 suddenly the blue fn key only works when held down May 26 05:06:14 :( May 26 05:06:24 RST38h, yep. but reboot brings it back May 26 05:06:27 damn May 26 05:06:34 pupnik_: WAHT? May 26 05:07:24 expected result: hit blue fn key once to get blue-key symbols (e.g. numbers) May 26 05:07:33 yes May 26 05:07:44 but as long as you remember to remove the old lib when the fix come out you'll be fine...and the work around will let you use opengl es 1.1 now....I would not really recommend this for the average user .. but if you are a deveopler who is actively developing with opengl es 1.1 this will get you going on pr1.2 May 26 05:08:14 I guess they 'fixed' that with the idiotic "holding a key gets the symbol" kickprovement May 26 05:08:45 or kinkprovement May 26 05:09:03 yea, the keyboard (physical and virtual) is definitely suffering from overabundance of "UX designers" May 26 05:09:14 \o/ May 26 05:10:24 RST38h: ack, and not only the kbd May 26 05:10:49 meh, you people would be happy with emacs as a UX ;) May 26 05:10:55 so how do i check if the packages are not broken? May 26 05:11:30 so maemo still reminds to be as one update instead seperate packages May 26 05:11:32 pupnik: there's a fix for the 'symbols without blue' shit (some gconf voodoo) - maybe it fixes the blue button itself as well May 26 05:11:41 Sts: You know I am deeply suspicious of anything using AI language for scripting... May 26 05:11:45 and next bugfixes never comming May 26 05:12:00 Sts: But at the moment, EMACS does not look like a worse choice May 26 05:12:19 i would use vim if i needed May 26 05:12:24 RST38h: i'm starting to wonder if RMS's erractic behaviour is from that he actually uploaded himself into emacs .. May 26 05:13:15 Stskeeps: so RMS himself has become a LISP program? May 26 05:14:10 probably he's always been ;-) May 26 05:15:24 the ghost in the machine, born in Bell labs, and finally freeing himself by founding party of GNU May 26 05:15:53 RST38h, is it other widgets break it or it's mediad widget bug? May 26 05:16:00 Sts: no, it is from the Tentacled One sucking his brain out early in his career May 26 05:16:15 Stskeeps: sorry, there is already maemo/meego, we do not need another OS (emacs). :P May 26 05:16:19 ZogG: It is some DBUs bug May 26 05:16:36 ZogG: Complicated by the fact that all widgets are running in the same process May 26 05:17:05 is there an app that displays the date right in the status bar? May 26 05:17:14 yes May 26 05:17:16 I seem to recall there was one but can't find it :-| May 26 05:17:23 there is a few calendar widgets May 26 05:17:34 you can even have it displayed in arabic May 26 05:17:54 ja but I mean right up there next to the clock in the status bar? Not on the desktop May 26 05:18:02 oh, no May 26 05:18:16 sigh... ok I understand. May 26 05:18:47 RST38h, but shouldn't be fixed in pr1.2. never had that problem before May 26 05:18:52 status bar is missing quite a few configuration options May 26 05:19:07 rsp the applets in there May 26 05:19:12 ZogG: it depends on other applets you have May 26 05:19:20 moo tekojo May 26 05:19:31 same as before May 26 05:19:44 conversation and player May 26 05:19:45 which ones?

May 26 05:55:55 Doc: But yes, you basically want a fault tolerant design May 26 05:56:03 and those have no OMAP, right? May 26 05:56:19 Doc: It is not like you cannot shield a cell phone, especially if you can shield the huge garbage can the ISS is May 26 05:56:42 reminds me i wouldn't want digital compass if i were in space May 26 05:56:46 Doc: They have got Intel chips, with the same or higher integration scale than OMAP May 26 05:57:01 RST38h: with larger structures and higher currents, so a single ionization doesn't flip the bit or fry the totem pole gate May 26 05:57:13 Doc: Not really sure about it May 26 05:57:28 ah May 26 05:57:29 Doc: This gets into details that I have no firm understanding of May 26 05:58:14 Doc: But if you want fault tolerant, LEON (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LEON) is actually being used in a lot of low cost Chinese DVD players May 26 05:58:29 i used to read years ago you can break some hw security like atm with some kind of radiation May 26 05:58:48 on /. May 26 05:58:53 is the audio supposed to work out of the box with the lastest easy debian image? I can't get it working, but I still can't find any discussions about it anywhere.. which leads me to think this might be a problem only I have :p May 26 05:58:53 can't remember the details May 26 05:58:54 sounds like very random approach :) May 26 05:59:04 Not every thing you read on Slashdot is true :) May 26 05:59:11 i know :) May 26 05:59:28 ==> WORK May 26 06:03:46 how are things going maemites?

May 26 06:19:24 45 mins to the dead line May 26 06:19:26 hahaha May 26 06:19:28 damn May 26 06:24:25 hmm "Ad-hoc wifi leaks kernel memory, puts N900 into unusable swap hell" listed as fixed bugs in 1.2, hopefully joikuspot should be usable for longer than ~45 mins then May 26 06:25:23 Hmmm, when doing an backup of user stuff and the app list, what directories do I have to save? MyDocs and ?? May 26 06:25:38 on the N900, forgot to add that May 26 06:27:50 lejonet, just use the N900's backup app and you don't need to worry about directories May 26 06:28:32 Funnyface: no, after 45 minutes the case begins to melt down. ;-P May 26 06:28:45 lol May 26 06:29:17 well, the latest version of joikuspot didn't seem to use as much CPU as the first one May 26 06:30:10 Tuukka: I never looked to see if it had a native backup app lol, I just used grsync and synced the relevant dirs (that I thought :P) May 26 06:30:52 Tuukka: Now I feel a bit sheepish :P May 26 06:30:52 :D May 26 06:31:53 That went fast and painless lol :P May 26 06:32:05 well, time to flash the N900 to PR1.2 ^^ May 26 06:32:23 Does anyone know what kind of 3G speeds N900 supports? There's a discount for an unlimited dataplan, and am thinking of upgrading from 384kbps May 26 06:32:39 lejonet, ota promised today doesn't suit you? May 26 06:32:45 hehe I am still waiting like an impatient kid for the update to show up in the app manager :P May 26 06:33:07 Hukka: I have 7.2Mbps 3G, I havent really tested to see how much of that I get, but it is atleast 2Mbps down May 26 06:33:31 Surfa: Well I heard that some rekommend a flash anyway, besides that would clean up the mess I created too :P May 26 06:33:37 recommend* May 26 06:33:39 Yeah me too I don't feel like doing all those adblock and rootfs space tweaks again... May 26 06:33:43 lejonet: That's quite bad, compared to the specified 10Mbps downlink... May 26 06:33:57 "Nokia doesnt have plans for a full scale commercial MeeGo upgrade on the Nokia N900. The reason? Its really about ensuring that you have the best possible experience designed for the features on your Nokia N900 device." sounds like something steve jobs could have said May 26 06:34:22 lejonet, recommend is quite strong word to use, but if you like to May 26 06:34:22 just that I think nokia fans won't accept that in the same way as apple fans would accept it from apple :P May 26 06:35:02 well IIRC apple actually offered the fanbois to pay for OS upgrade May 26 06:35:03 Hukka: Well I havent really been in the places with the best coverage either :P May 26 06:35:13 Hukka, how about this site http://europe.nokia.com/find-products/devices/nokia-n900/specifications May 26 06:35:27 Hukka, suprisingly it might contain information you need May 26 06:35:39 Surfa: Yeah, that says the 10Mbps downlink (or the usa version did) May 26 06:35:51 Surfa: Do you trust broadband numbers as announced? May 26 06:36:01 by operators? May 26 06:36:04 no May 26 06:36:05 Surfa: Surprisignly, there's inflation May 26 06:36:10 By modem providers May 26 06:36:13 and seriously - the usual argument "OS X.y.z is not designed for $HARDWARE - yo have to buy $NEW_HARDWARE to use it" can't possibly fly seeing as stskeeps is developing the OS on this very device... :S May 26 06:36:34 That's the same as buying any 10 dollar mobile usb stick and wondering why you aren't getting the whole 7.2Mbps May 26 06:36:36 haha May 26 06:36:37 tybollt_: i never claimed to understand that argument May 26 06:36:47 !seen andre__ May 26 06:36:47 Hukka, i happen to know that network is in 99% cases the bottle neck May 26 06:36:58 don't worry about your device capabilities May 26 06:37:03 timeless_mbp: I think its ~seen here May 26 06:37:13 ~seen andre__ May 26 06:37:14 Stskeeps: pure speculation on my part - but I guess it is logical enough... May 26 06:37:17 andre__ <~andre@Maemo/community/bugmaster/andre> was last seen on IRC in channel #maemo, 21h 52m 56s ago, saying: 'mece, looks okay from a quick view. also see http://wiki.maemo.org/Bugs:Adding_Extra_products'. May 26 06:37:31 Surfa: The network has been verified to deliver with HSPA+ sticks, so don't worry about what I'm not asking May 26 06:37:33 ~summon andre__ May 26 06:37:44 apt takes out 20 clean, identical-looking phones, some extra hands, and pretends to be a telemarketer for a large corporation, so he gets delivered a phonelist containing andre__'s coordinates May 26 06:38:24 Hukka, so nothing to worry about May 26 06:38:27 Just tested my speed in peedtest.net 3.14Mb/s out and 0.78 Mb/s in. In 3G network almost full strenght using 15Mb/s dataplan May 26 06:38:49 Tuukka: Which operator? May 26 06:39:03 Tuukka, well, there are plenty of things that affect throughputs in addition to signal strength May 26 06:39:33 Saunalahti, you propably ain't aware of it I'm from Finland May 26 06:39:53 Tuukka, and hukka wouldn't be from finland? :) May 26 06:39:59 the HSDPA providers here support "7.2Mbit" HSDPA, but still say "0.5 to 1.5Mbit" as "realistic speeds" May 26 06:40:15 however, I don't really think the speed is the problem with HSDPA May 26 06:40:22 Judging from his nick maybe.. :D May 26 06:40:28 tybollt_: imho the very problem about commercial meego on n900 is the upgrade path May 26 06:41:02 Or whoissing me... May 26 06:41:04 Hukka, but anyway, i'm pretty sure that n900 won't be the bottleneck in your data transfers anyway May 26 06:41:07 Tuukka: Which city? May 26 06:41:14 Hukka, Turku May 26 06:41:25 Ah, ok. Don't know about there May 26 06:41:37 I know the speeds can exceed 10Mbps in Oulu and Helsinki May 26 06:41:37 public networks have that much changing conditions that they are the ones limiting the throughputs before the device May 26 06:41:41 corsac: Hi Guys! Maemo fs layout was seriously FAIL! Here's how it should've worked from the begining - backup your device - wipe it and flash it - easy huh? May 26 06:41:54 Quite happy with my dataplan it's fast, unlimited and pretty affordable ~15e/motnh May 26 06:41:57 Must Hear. Marc Faber speech on economic outlook: http://mises.org/media/4980 (mp3, 67:32) May 26 06:42:00 tybollt_: OTA seems not really doable, flashing could work but if it messes deeply that means user settings might not be conserved, backups won't apply etc. which might not be really commercialy fine :) May 26 06:42:53 Hukka, well technically i'm not in Turku atm. At work in Kaarina May 26 06:43:12 tybollt_: where was he planning to back up his device? May 26 06:43:18 Hukka, constant speeds? in live networks? :) i highly doubt that... peaks may of course be near to that, but constant i believe when i see May 26 06:43:45 Tuukka: 13,90 a month ;) May 26 06:43:56 saunalahti has those offers until end of month? May 26 06:43:57 Yep =) May 26 06:44:03 with my data plan, I can transfer as much as I want for about 1 euro per day, but at 200MB I get dropped to EDGE until the next day. problem is that each MB is still like half an euro per MB until that limit is reached, so for occasional use the plan sucks May 26 06:44:23 ~buy box of leijona tar candies for timeless_mbp May 26 06:44:24 * infobot goes to S-Mart and gets a dozen of leijona tar candies for timeless_mbps for box May 26 06:44:48 I'd really love some sort of combined plan for say 1GB per month, while also having the ability to use the network a lot on specific days :p May 26 06:45:24 timeless_mbp: well backup inside the device and copy it to $SAFE_PLACE May 26 06:45:34 tybollt_: do i not want that candy? May 26 06:45:57 you tell me May 26 06:45:57 Surfa, but the price stays for the whole to year contract May 26 06:46:06 "tar" sounds bad May 26 06:46:20 timeless_mbp: seriously have no idea what candy I am talking about? :) May 26 06:46:35 don't take a candy from a stranger May 26 06:46:41 leijona tar is awesome May 26 06:46:45 thankfully, i believe that's correct May 26 06:46:58 Tuukka: Yeah, the think is it's only 4 euros more, but on the downside I would be stuck with it for two years May 26 06:47:04 Tuukka, i know i know May 26 06:47:16 Hukka, it's not 2 years contract May 26 06:47:16 timeless_mbp: terva leijona it's a friggin classic May 26 06:47:29 Hukka, you may get rid of it any time you want May 26 06:47:44 only the price is fixed for 2 years May 26 06:47:47 Surfa: Then you have different offers from me May 26 06:47:51 tybollt_: i'll pass? May 26 06:47:55 https://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=14223 May 26 06:47:56 Bug 14223: was not found. May 26 06:48:01 4 months to get rid of one space May 26 06:48:03 ...

May 26 06:48:56 "Määräaikainen sopimus 24 kk" May 26 06:49:00 :D May 26 06:49:13 I pity the fool May 26 06:49:13 Ok, that one is a different deal May 26 06:49:37 hey, damn missed the 3g speed discussion May 26 06:49:50 Hm... so it looks like the defined contract includes a usb stick but otherwise is the same May 26 06:50:15 I have the cheapest data with sauna for my N900 from saunalahti. 384kbps. May 26 06:50:21 mece: Same May 26 06:50:25 Who needs a usb stick :D You can use your N900 to tether May 26 06:50:46 Tuukka: Yeah, I know, but I only saw the adverts for the packet May 26 06:50:50 Tuukka, if you have lack of electricity the usb-stick is more useful May 26 06:51:01 but, here in my office in ICT I sometimes get speeds of around 1Mbps for some reason. Only here though. May 26 06:51:07 and you don't need your phone and can use it for other purposes elsewhere May 26 06:51:11 Surfa: You can buy a separate stick, though May 26 06:51:33 Surfa: Does the free contract include multi-SIM? May 26 06:51:36 mece: perhaps the tower there doesn't allow plain UMTS May 26 06:51:43 perhaps. May 26 06:51:45 Greetings from Nokia Developer Workshop in TLV :) May 26 06:51:47 I think I have one old stick to spare, if someone needs one. May 26 06:51:57 Assuming the new one works, when it arrives. May 26 06:52:08 Hukka, i don't know :) i've never been interested in multi sims May 26 06:52:09 They push them as extras, annoyingly May 26 06:56:18 timeless_mbp: OpenSolaris - the project that after 5 years still is not open. :) May 26 06:56:40 you can't compile osolaris w/out massive amounts of binaries May 26 06:57:00 that reminds me of something else May 26 06:57:31 Cool, I must say I like the improved bootup time so far in PR1.2 :P May 26 06:59:02 tybollt_: it's more open than maemo :) May 26 07:00:19 tybollt_: and that one character fix is still better than some of my symbian patches :) May 26 07:01:20 Trizt: i think i might have finally fixed it! May 26 07:01:34 please say you haven't updated to 1.2 yet :) May 26 07:03:59 Here I did a wrtie up on the state of opengles under pr1.2 and detail some workarounds to get it going http://jacobpennock.com/blog/?p=42 May 26 07:04:04 bamboo for crash reporting?

May 26 07:21:23 frals does however porn all trout porn pics sent via mms, and forward them to himself :P May 26 07:21:28 tybollt_, yes :( May 26 07:21:28 hey has anyone had problems answering the phone with pr1.2? I had a strange issue just now.. May 26 07:21:36 mece, nope :) May 26 07:21:50 mece: we don't receive calls in .fi :) May 26 07:22:07 tybollt_: id just revert to making it shwo a list of configured apn's, would take 5minutes ;) May 26 07:22:27 well luckily the one calling was a telemarketer (according to google) so It was nice that I failed to answer. May 26 07:22:55 * noobmonk3y deleted his mms apn May 26 07:23:07 phone kept bloody connecting to it and pissed me off May 26 07:23:12 lol May 26 07:23:14 not my fault :( May 26 07:23:20 true, i blame lcuk May 26 07:23:20 you should have set fmms to havoc! ;) May 26 07:23:26 frals: to be perfectly honest - that's what I don't get - why doesn't it just offer you the apn-list when you click configure :) May 26 07:23:38 I like that May 26 07:23:42 tybollt_: because users are stupid May 26 07:23:47 that would be a hell of alot easier :P May 26 07:23:54 tybollt_: and with pr1.2 the autoconfig should be better May 26 07:23:55 morning May 26 07:23:58 * noobmonk3y agrees <--------------- I r Stup1d May 26 07:24:01 frals: got that right! Missus calls me "bloody stupid" even May 26 07:24:08 tybollt_: ^^ May 26 07:24:43 anyway the issue was this, the phone thingamabob popped up as usually, but just when I tapped answer, the screen changed into 4 buttons instead of 2, and the answer/reject ones were on the bottom row, so I clicked one of the top row ones instead by mistake. May 26 07:25:46 i think it was send sms. Anyway after that I couldn't get back to the phone app to answer. May 26 07:25:50 yonkers - did you praps turn the mobile somehow - hence triggering the accel-o-meter? May 26 07:26:12 yes hellau May 26 07:26:21 I've set it to portrait, as in not auto, so it shouldn't be affected by that. May 26 07:26:30 true May 26 07:26:41 furunk3l: why is there hell in .au? :S May 26 07:27:05 just cause May 26 07:27:23 ask TheAppleMan May 26 07:27:30 i bet he knows why May 26 07:29:18 Woah! Don't drag me into this. May 26 07:29:35 Speaking of the Phone task, is there an dbus message that broadcasts if the user gets a call? Running processes should react to this message by putting their CPU intensive parts on hold. May 26 07:30:22 * tybollt_ blames TheAppleMan - indeed May 26 07:30:24 :) May 26 07:30:51 Or is this issue dealt with via the `nice' value? May 26 07:32:55 * noobmonk3y meh's May 26 07:33:20 i really should goto work May 26 07:36:32 pr 1.2 swapped around the Back and Bookmarks buttons in the browser :s May 26 07:38:01 PhonicUK: yeah May 26 07:38:04 minor changes happen :) May 26 07:38:31 PhonicUK: i'm actually relatively happy w/ those changes May 26 07:40:13 Since I'm to lazy to flash my N900 I wonder at which time today 1.2 will be pushed in Germany. May 26 07:40:31 MaikB: no one here knows May 26 07:40:38 just be patient, your n900 will tell you when it's ready May 26 07:40:57 all the nokians here knows but enjoys laughing sinisterly at us when we're asking... >:) May 26 07:41:07 ;) May 26 07:41:15 * timeless_mbp is a nokian May 26 07:41:18 * timeless_mbp has absolutely no idea May 26 07:41:32 the way i'll know it's available in .de is when a customer from .de says it was offered May 26 07:41:33 hmm May 26 07:42:05 I told you yesterday that i somehow lost all my repositories May 26 07:42:15 My battery died then, so i didn't see any answers May 26 07:42:25 Does someone know how this works? Does the repository server see where I'm from and hold back the upgrade, or is there different Server for the UK? May 26 07:42:27 Can i get some help with resetting it? May 26 07:42:51 Because, i have _no_ repositories at all May 26 07:43:05 * MaikB takes a look at the /etc/apt/sources.list May 26 07:43:21 MaikB: you want /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* May 26 07:43:31 the repository server isn't one server May 26 07:43:38 it's one address at many locations May 26 07:43:47 and dns generally controls which server you reach May 26 07:44:16 dns can work any way it likes, but generally dns for magic addresses tries to pick a server that is "close" to you and "fast" to you May 26 07:44:52 timeless_mbp, I see May 26 07:44:55 timeless_mbp, thanks May 26 07:45:05 i believe we're using akamai... May 26 07:45:49 I guess the repo at the Server I am forwarded to just has to be populated with 1.2 then May 26 07:46:05 roughly May 26 07:46:14 And this is done by the Admins running it May 26 07:46:53 no May 26 07:47:03 Hey May 26 07:47:05 admins don't really "run" these boxes like that May 26 07:47:36 Seems as i have some repos in hildon-application-manager.list May 26 07:48:03 But why does the application manager not recognize anything now? May 26 07:48:10 timeless_mbp, What I mean is this: The guys who manage the repo for the UK and those who manage the one for the rest of Europe are different people May 26 07:48:19 is this statement correct? May 26 07:48:21 :) May 26 07:48:24 MaikB: it doesn't work like that May 26 07:48:29 at least, not generally May 26 07:48:30 sources.list seems to be empty May 26 07:48:35 is that why? May 26 07:48:40 FIQ: souces.list is a legacy file May 26 07:48:44 for you to **** with May 26 07:48:45 ah May 26 07:48:58 but why don't i have any repos in appmanager then? May 26 07:49:00 apt honors it and sources.list.d/*.list May 26 07:49:07 FIQ: this is the location on my device /etc/apt/sources.list.d/hildon-application-manager.list May 26 07:49:20 Yes, it contains things May 26 07:49:24 but my mac is out of power May 26 07:49:27 so i'm going offline May 26 07:49:35 timeless_mbp, cya May 26 07:49:48 but when i take up the menu and look up "Program Catalogues", the list is empty May 26 07:50:42 well, it wasnt that timeless then :P May 26 07:51:57 there was an update to Power Kernel today May 26 07:52:05 it wrecked my wifi May 26 07:52:10 anyone having the same problem?

May 26 08:05:08 LiraNuna: Seems strange. May 26 08:05:20 wifi just died after I upgraded+rebooted May 26 08:06:27 does 1.2 add more authentication protocols to wifi, by happenstance? haven't seen any advertisement about that, but I hope I missed something :) May 26 08:06:51 fwiw, it's typical for nokia doing a uk based launch to GO @9am London time May 26 08:07:03 timeless: yeah but the guide does..

May 26 08:21:57 and the message is asking you to use a pc based flasher May 26 08:22:12 MaikB, too little for ota upgrade I'd guess.

May 26 08:24:30 morning May 26 08:24:31 but i disable devel and testing repos first May 26 08:25:16 lardman|home, mornin May 26 08:25:33 hi mece May 26 08:26:12 looks like in dosbox 3000 cycles are doable @ 600mhz without sound. 5k @ 900 May 26 08:26:21 mece, hm, symlinked the apt stuff to /home, so there is no space issue with to many active repos :) May 26 08:26:29 mece, and thus no gain May 26 08:26:37 albanc, barisione: re lat/lon data for contacts, do you know if this is something that could be added - iirc I added a bug requesting this. It would be cool to get decent contacts/map integration, but that would probably need a decent maps app too of course ;) May 26 08:26:46 I just wipe the Qt stuff May 26 08:26:51 should be enough May 26 08:27:24 how much free space on / is needed for pr 1.2? May 26 08:27:28 hmm I should look at redefining the rest of the apt files to a diff dir... cache I already set through the config May 26 08:28:11 MaikB: i see no OTA here (de) May 26 08:28:28 pupnik, I got it 3 minutes ago May 26 08:28:54 mrs lbt is upgrading....

May 26 08:47:07 lbt: I had the “operation failed” too, it seems that it's when the device is forced to offline mode May 26 08:47:24 lbt: then it goes to a locked UI where you can't do much thing May 26 08:47:27 correct May 26 08:47:43 I have the Maemo 5 update on top, and a progress bar “Updating Maemo 5" on bottom May 26 08:47:48 which progresses slowly May 26 08:47:49 and then the screen goes off and you're wondering wtf is happening May 26 08:48:11 lbt: just open the keyboard or unlock with the right button?

I will find the reason eventually May 26 09:27:52 is there any particular reason why the hildon manager shows no updates? is there another way to 1.2? May 26 09:28:05 I shutdown from power key. Seems to continue the update process just like last time. Nokia screen and little green progress bar May 26 09:28:06 ran out of space in the middle of apt-get May 26 09:28:07 Surfa, what bugs me is not knowing where to look at ( log file ) May 26 09:29:14 Hi Guys, what can be the reason the OTA update asks to connect to the pc?

May 26 09:44:01 hai May 26 09:44:19 will pr1.2 install itself by wifi? May 26 09:44:29 stranger__: it would wonder me a lot if pr1.2 is last SSU. May 26 09:44:57 Stskeeps, it looks like it May 26 09:45:02 looks like last SSU? May 26 09:45:10 bah, i dont want to update my other device, 23days of uptime :( May 26 09:45:57 * MohammadAG halts frals' device May 26 09:46:24 it seems there will be almost no Nokia involvement in N900 after the final release of meego May 26 09:46:44 erm. May 26 09:46:45 :P May 26 09:46:54 that's wrong on a lot of levels :) May 26 09:47:44 first off, there has been talk in bug reports of a fremantle PE1, which means this isn't the last update we'll see. May 26 09:48:19 I just issued `apt-get move libqt4-opengl' which causes a ton of upgrades May 26 09:48:35 Stskeeps: Mind if I jump in and ask what PE stands for? May 26 09:48:41 djdm: honestly, i don't know May 26 09:48:45 I'll see how it works out May 26 09:49:01 second, there is a team working on hardware adaptation for MeeGo on N900 (meego the rpm system), with a bunch of nokians too. N900 is ARM reference device and it has to be kept in good shape May 26 09:49:04 maybe just a driver update here or there, but that is it May 26 09:49:22 djdm: we've worked on some PE releases in the past, and we have no idea either :P May 26 09:49:24 I hate try and error May 26 09:49:24 third, nokia care still answers your phonecalls :P May 26 09:49:35 Stskeeps: Fair enough - cheers :) May 26 09:49:40 Post-release Engineering? Product Enhancement? May 26 09:49:43 especially if its not needed, I'm sure of it May 26 09:49:53 Robot101: Programmers Escaping? May 26 09:49:55 Pink Elephant? May 26 09:49:57 and soon, 'most' of the developers will move to meego, May 26 09:50:16 stranger__: most of the developers are working on maemo 6 atm, not meego, so, this is manifestly untrue. May 26 09:50:17 stranger__, meego is just another distro May 26 09:50:21 furunk3l: how long does it take, to get this update info? May 26 09:50:21 * djdm will assume it's Pink Elephant, actually - I like that ;) May 26 09:50:27 djdm: me too :) May 26 09:50:29 stranger__: situation isn't perfect, but there's -plenty- of life in my n900 yet May 26 09:50:29 whats the matter? May 26 09:51:29 stranger__: but to say nokia is dropping n900 on the floor and not caring about it at all, is a far stretch from the truth :) May 26 09:51:31 is it possible to update to pr 1.2 without flashing the system? :s May 26 09:51:32 Stskeeps, now... but I am talking about after the release of meego. May 26 09:51:43 stranger__: meego 1.0's out this month. next one is october May 26 09:51:58 also, if you actually mean harmattan, please denote it meego-harmattan May 26 09:51:59 thresh: any further ideas what can i do to get the update? and why i do not see anything to upgrade if i remove extra repositiries? May 26 09:52:10 defragger, some time. check this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=At9tJHmgnrE this shold help you get the upgrade. May 26 09:52:13 Stskeeps, well, actually I meant after the first Nokia mobile based on meego May 26 09:52:14 Stskeeps: srsly...? :P May 26 09:52:36 Robot101: srsly what? :P May 26 09:52:43 Stskeeps: meego-harmattan :P May 26 09:53:01 Hello, since now nokia release 2.1 patch for N900. How i can choose videocall. Do i need to use some client or ? May 26 09:53:29 Lazy^: press the video call button in the address book, it will show for Google Talk and Skype contacts who have video support May 26 09:53:34 2.1 lol May 26 09:53:43 Robot101: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=677849#post677849 May 26 09:53:47 Is carbon theme working as it should with pr1.2? May 26 09:53:49 Lazy^: videocall on PR1.2 is available for skype/google etc May 26 09:54:05 i think it is under the contact options.... (Just checking) May 26 09:54:07 defragger, you can also check the application manager. and update manually by clicking on "Update" after you started the application manager. May 26 09:54:25 i suspect apt-get upgrade maymbe dangerous May 26 09:54:26 Stskeeps: is this not a violation of the meego trademark policy? :P May 26 09:54:35 Hrmf - No search in HAM after flashing to PR1.2. May 26 09:54:43 yeah tis under contact options :P May 26 09:54:44 noobmonk3y: so i need to use skype/google... May 26 09:54:50 phellarv: yes there is May 26 09:54:57 phellarv: just start typing. May 26 09:55:00 Lazy^: you can also do SIP video calls May 26 09:55:00 Robot101: i think calling harmattan meego is bad enough :P May 26 09:55:03 yup - there is no video calling for the normal phone function May 26 09:55:11 X-Fade: Aha - Thanks. May 26 09:55:22 yayyy got it, thank you very much furunk3l :) May 26 09:55:28 stranger__: there's multiple threads of development happening. one of the community backport of harmattan, another is 'real' meego on n900, and then there's the updates to fremantle May 26 09:55:28 np, yw. May 26 09:55:41 stranger__: on top of that, synchronised APIs in form of Qt, so you won't miss out on apps May 26 09:55:43 But there is no videocalls on normal phone funtion... May 26 09:55:46 * phellarv is oldschool - I like clear instructions, and less dark magic. May 26 09:55:54 stranger__: the situation could be a hell lot worse. May 26 09:55:58 phellarv: :D :D i agree May 26 09:56:31 Lazy^: if you have configured a SIP account, there is (for SIP calls) May 26 09:56:35 hello May 26 09:56:38 phellarv: Oh, then you need to try start typing at more places :) May 26 09:56:42 noobmonk3y: That's why I mostly use apt-* May 26 09:56:43 lol May 26 09:56:45 phellarv: For instance on the desktop itself. May 26 09:56:48 * noobmonk3y grumbles May 26 09:57:04 guys, i've flashed my n900 to the newest firmware, but i can not get portrait mode working now, any clues way ? May 26 09:57:10 p.s it's UK version May 26 09:57:12 sECuRE: erm (stupid question) where i can get SIP account May 26 09:57:14 PR 1.2 lacks one thing which was in PR1.2 SDK packages May 26 09:57:17 X-Fade: stop being so gosh darn clever - you are making the rest of us look bad! May 26 09:57:23 hrw: ? May 26 09:57:24 status area is not available in portrait May 26 09:57:25 Lazy^: sipgate.de for example May 26 09:57:27 not exactly sure which apps got a portrait mode May 26 09:57:29 Stskeeps, maybe for an owner of N900, but what about those who plan to buy one soon? most will just think it is better to wait and the meego based one, May 26 09:57:30 X-Fade: If I start typing at more place, I probably would be charged for doing grafitti. May 26 09:57:47 Corsac: run app, press shift-control-r and rotate device with keyboard closed May 26 09:57:56 stranger__: but you dont know if meego is better or worse so to speak yet? lol May 26 09:58:02 stranger__: even my n800 is still useful. May 26 09:58:03 Lazy^: but your video call partner would need to use SIP too, i think May 26 09:58:13 * noobmonk3y lols - healthcheck in portrait mode is rather hysterical May 26 09:58:17 stranger__: everyone always wants the next thing, not knowing wtf it's about May 26 09:58:17 :P May 26 09:58:25 ahh kk =) May 26 09:58:29 maybe skype then...

May 26 10:07:22 guys anyone knows is it now possible to get the virtual keyboard when sending sms ? May 26 10:07:37 In some countries in West Africa, the heavy amount of dust in the air can severely limit visibility and block the sun for several days,[2] comparable to a heavy fog. The effect caused by the dust and sand stirred by these winds is known as the Harmattan haze, and costs airlines millions of dollars in cancelled and diverted flights each year.[citation needed] The interaction of the Harmattan with monsoon winds can cause tornadoes. May 26 10:07:43 brilliant name for a os ;) May 26 10:07:50 hrw: what version of healthcheck you loading btw?

May 26 10:10:32 re May 26 10:10:45 djdm, maybe you changed the arrangement? May 26 10:10:47 by size May 26 10:11:07 is dist-upgrade really safe alternative to app manager update?

May 26 10:15:06 noobmonk3y: rewrite your app to use .ui file for UI definition instead of making ui in code. then stop making own buttons. then stop assuming screen size May 26 10:15:38 hey DrGrov May 26 10:15:40 MohammadAG, how did you say I should update to PR 1.2? From the device yes but how about the right type of backup? Just contacts and settings is needed as backup since I lose the apps? May 26 10:16:02 if you update ota you shouldn't lose anything May 26 10:16:18 My conversations disappeared, actually (but I wasn't that bothered) May 26 10:16:29 So do back them up :) May 26 10:16:30 my conversations did not disappear May 26 10:16:47 (i ticked all checkboxes in the backup app) May 26 10:16:51 So did I :) May 26 10:16:57 strange May 26 10:16:58 neither did mine May 26 10:17:05 pr1.2 changed the db name May 26 10:17:08 no idea why May 26 10:17:09 I tried restoring it but it seemed to have some trouble so I killed it (stuck for ages on 99%) May 26 10:17:24 is there still no free .doc/.xls reader/writer for n900?
