**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Sep 09 02:59:58 2010 Sep 09 04:36:36 Does a website exists that lists available packages, for say extras-testing? Sep 09 04:59:04 anybody know how to submit patches to hildon? There's a gitorious web interface but I can't find a mailing list of bugzilla or anything of that nature Sep 09 05:06:46 https://bugs.maemo.org Sep 09 05:10:57 ebzzry: http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel/pool/diablo/ Sep 09 05:18:21 air: hildon maintainers read the main maemo bugzilla? Sep 09 05:20:13 budfive: there are hildon maintainers? Sep 09 05:21:48 slonopotamus: somebody pushes to the repo... Sep 09 05:23:27 budfive: http://maemo.gitorious.org/fremantle-hildon-desktop/hildon-desktop/commit/624231109e727e7b4c21c9f1a526ff191c309e5a Sep 09 05:24:22 slonopotamus: ok.... somebody still has commit access Sep 09 05:24:46 slonopotamus: I don't have rights to just push into the repo. Are you saying that nobody at all does this anymore? Sep 09 05:25:28 budfive: those few pushes that happened after that commit were from same person Sep 09 05:25:49 budfive: i guess all people who had commit access still have it Sep 09 05:26:16 "few" = 3 Sep 09 05:27:33 slonopotamus: ok. I'll send my patch to the maemo bugzilla, and if somebody picks it up, great. Don't have time to take over maintenance myself, sadly Sep 09 05:41:25 air: thanks Sep 09 05:41:39 hey, i was wondering if there is a way to sync the n900 over bluetooth to evolution.. Sep 09 05:43:16 adalal: I prefer Syncml over HTTP over any type of local sync. Sep 09 05:43:25 Makes things much easier Sep 09 05:43:41 MiXu-: right, but that involves getting a 3rd party? Sep 09 05:44:15 adalal: Not unless you run the server yourself Sep 09 05:44:25 Funambol server is pretty easy to setup for example Sep 09 05:45:27 cool.. Sep 09 05:47:35 MiXu-: all good, but won't that mean that I'll have to create a ad-hoc network if i need to sync w/o any wireless stations present? Sep 09 05:48:40 It's up to you how you want to do it as long as 1) The server is accessible from public internet and 2) the clients can access the internet Sep 09 05:55:35 MiXu-: im sure it can be done over local network right? Sep 09 05:56:28 adalal: Sure can, but then you're tied to that network for sync. And where's the fun in that :) Sep 09 05:56:42 MiXu-: i wanna be able to sync on the go Sep 09 05:56:44 on my laptop Sep 09 05:56:45 :P Sep 09 05:56:53 i dont have a desktop to bank on with me Sep 09 06:13:27 when I ssh into the n900 and sshfs the filesystem to a local box (my eeepc) and create a file in the micro SD card it still comes up as being owned byt the sysem user 29999 and I can not work the file over sshfs. How do I get around this? Sep 09 06:15:51 I even created a new user in the n900 and tried to use that for working over sshfs, but everything seems to revert to being owned by 29999 Sep 09 06:16:25 jpinx-eeepc: Is the micro SD card in the N900? Sep 09 06:16:34 yep Sep 09 06:16:48 there's likely -o mount option to override the uid Sep 09 06:16:55 ieatlint: Yes. Sep 09 06:17:04 -o allow_others you think? Sep 09 06:17:12 ieatlint: -o gid=... uid=... I think. Sep 09 06:17:32 ok - thanks guys - back to man sshfs ;) Sep 09 06:18:16 yeah, that looks right, although there is apparently a more advanced feature for it.. "-o idmap" Sep 09 06:18:46 "-o idmap=user" seems right Sep 09 06:19:09 Hi. Can I remove the default email client? Sep 09 06:19:18 sets the uid to that of the authenticated ssh user... basicall -o uid, but autodetecting hte right uid Sep 09 06:19:23 cool - thanks - let me disentangle the mess I am in first ;) Sep 09 06:19:43 too many logins... Sep 09 06:20:11 Or at least remove the link from the apps page? Sep 09 06:25:48 What email program is recommended Sep 09 06:25:59 Just installed claws and I cant use it with my fingers, the UI is too tiny Sep 09 06:26:08 to remove the link from the apps page just rename/remove the .desktop file Sep 09 06:26:43 where are the desktop files? Sep 09 06:27:21 In any case, there's no point in removing that email cient if I cannot find a replacement. Sep 09 06:28:14 claws isn't really ported for a touch screen so I gotta try and find something else. Sep 09 06:29:19 no kinetic scrolling and must use pen will make it very cumbersome to work in claws. Sep 09 06:29:45 Guys, anyone knows a link to installing android on the n810 to run as a maemo app? The ones I have found date back to 2008...a crappy android... any help would be greatly appreciated! Sep 09 06:31:46 Ok, I've tried both Claws and QMF, both lack proper finger-adapted controls for quick and easy use. I cannot find any other email applications by searching for "mail" in the application manager, any suggestions? Sep 09 06:33:22 what's wrong with the default one? Sep 09 06:33:33 It can't handle attachments properly Sep 09 06:33:48 yay! can't! Sep 09 06:34:48 Or some anyway. Sep 09 06:34:55 But it's bad enough that some can't be handled. Sep 09 06:35:11 can't you save them? Sep 09 06:35:15 no Sep 09 06:35:21 there's no menu option Sep 09 06:35:36 Got a support issue on it yesterday Sep 09 06:35:43 that's dumb Sep 09 06:36:21 Yeah I know. Sep 09 06:36:40 It's marked as "has attachment", but the menu item isnt there Sep 09 06:41:12 * DocScrutinizer moos at raster Sep 09 06:41:27 Ok, so what mail client to use then? Sep 09 06:41:37 Is there any finger friendly replacement that can save attachments, always? Sep 09 06:42:13 no Sep 09 06:42:25 yeah i dunno man, i used to use claws on an n800, now i use the default Sep 09 06:42:29 webmailer Sep 09 06:42:31 DocScrutinizer: DOC!!!!!! Sep 09 06:42:33 its slow but i never had problems Sep 09 06:42:38 DocScrutinizer: wossap? Sep 09 06:42:48 winter Sep 09 06:42:54 winter? Sep 09 06:42:59 a bit early fro that Sep 09 06:43:09 yeah :-/ Sep 09 06:43:10 claws is finger friendly, if you have small fingers :) Sep 09 06:43:30 Hmm. Sep 09 06:43:36 I had warmer xmas Sep 09 06:44:19 sudden weather change over in de? Sep 09 06:44:41 not so sudden, seems since a month or so now Sep 09 06:45:18 really? Sep 09 06:45:20 weird Sep 09 06:45:24 been warm and stuff here Sep 09 06:45:37 Juli was hot like hell, Aug is more winter than summer Sep 09 06:46:41 hot here :) Sep 09 06:49:42 i'd rather freeze than sweat :) Sep 09 06:49:54 freezi ng can be solved with some vigorous activity Sep 09 06:49:55 :) Sep 09 06:56:22 raster: is there also a R's parcel service next to bank of R? Sep 09 06:57:36 raster: DHL is too daft to get a package from HEL to Moscow Sep 09 06:58:28 I dont understand why it can detect the attachment, but won't add any menu to save it. Sep 09 06:58:55 Coke: maybe this is related to the code? Sep 09 06:59:10 What code? Sep 09 06:59:19 the program code Sep 09 06:59:41 Yes, ofcourse it is. Sep 09 06:59:42 It's a bug. :) Sep 09 07:00:05 yes, that's what it's usually called :-P Sep 09 07:00:24 I'm just amazed to find it Sep 09 07:01:39 It's 2010, rfc 822 and 2045 have been around for quite a while Sep 09 07:01:48 iirc it's been lingering around since 1.0 alias "I noticed some attachment bug in Dec 2009" Sep 09 07:02:24 opening attachments is probably patented by apple or microsoft or something Sep 09 07:02:36 Well, it makes the entire client unusable for me since it's important that I can save upload the attachments Sep 09 07:02:48 CreamyG: no, these things have been standard for ages Sep 09 07:03:03 It just hit me for mails sent by iPhone Sep 09 07:03:05 I get all warm and cuddly when I read about meego for n900 progress. Sep 09 07:03:18 * mece hugs Stskeeps Sep 09 07:03:32 DocScrutinizer: same problem? Sep 09 07:03:42 that doesn't mean it's not patented lol. i'm kidding but seriously lots of email stuff is patented Sep 09 07:03:57 rfc 822 and mime is not patented Sep 09 07:04:03 It's been around since 1982 Sep 09 07:04:16 A friend sent me some dunnowhat from his iPhone, and the mail's attachment wasn't accessible Sep 09 07:04:32 yeah but all they do is reword it to "method for" xxxxx "on a portable device" and they get a patent Sep 09 07:05:15 lemme see if I can spot the mail Sep 09 07:05:22 nokia won't display the new emails on our email widget due to "legal issues" for example Sep 09 07:05:44 i bet their lawyers are afraid of something Sep 09 07:08:20 CreamyG: wut? Sep 09 07:08:30 Could you find the actual bug report? Sep 09 07:08:34 I'm not sure what to search on Sep 09 07:09:26 uhh sure, its kinda funny. i get emails from it every few weeks. Sep 09 07:09:44 like "email attachment broken" ? Sep 09 07:10:50 no its for the widget that is useless that they don't want to fix due to "legal issues" Sep 09 07:10:56 https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10294 Sep 09 07:10:57 Bug 10294: Email desktop widget does not display mails from Nokia Messaging accounts Sep 09 07:12:57 CreamyG: no thats not it at all Sep 09 07:13:01 not even close Sep 09 07:13:16 well i never said it was Sep 09 07:13:50 Sorry, thought you were responding there Sep 09 07:15:39 public standards since 1982, they cant make it happen Sep 09 07:17:02 well, i would file a new bug report Sep 09 07:17:52 they might actually fix it Sep 09 07:19:19 Haha! Sep 09 07:19:35 Well, looks like I cannot receive any attachments from any Apple product. Sep 09 07:19:58 So, who isn't complying with standards, Apple or Nokia? Sep 09 07:20:32 it's probably the government, reading all the emails and assembling them back together wrong Sep 09 07:20:37 ok, multipart-related:[HTML-document; JPEG] doesn't show the jpeg picture "embedded" into the html code Sep 09 07:21:47 Content-Type: multipart/alternative; Sep 09 07:21:49 boundary=Apple-Mail-1-245749344 Sep 09 07:21:50 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sep 09 07:21:52 X-Mailer: iPhone Mail (7D11) Sep 09 07:21:53 Mime-Version: 1.0 (iPhone Mail 7D11) Sep 09 07:22:26 DocScrutinizer: actually Sep 09 07:22:29 sending a photo per mail was/is failing at least up to PR1.1.1 Sep 09 07:22:30 I had another mail from a mac with PNG's Sep 09 07:22:37 it would show the PNG's but I couldnt save them as attachmetns Sep 09 07:24:05 I think the Maemo mail client is just buggy as a mofo Sep 09 07:24:08 --Apple-Mail-1-245749344 Sep 09 07:24:09 Content-Type: text/plain; Sep 09 07:24:11 charset=us-ascii; Sep 09 07:24:12 format=flowed Sep 09 07:24:14 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sep 09 07:24:21 Since it worked fine in the other clietns.

Sep 09 07:29:51 No, N900 has even more current ways :-/ Could you ask better questions please? Sep 09 07:30:44 doesnt n900 come with rotation? :) Sep 09 07:33:20 no Sep 09 07:34:06 I'm absolutely sure this Q wasn't better than the prev one Sep 09 07:38:56 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eq3CuMDXaPs Sep 09 07:39:00 moirning Sep 09 07:47:28 hi is there any software to track distance to inputted gps coordinate? Sep 09 07:47:37 but without any maps Sep 09 07:48:26 input a coordinate (or a set) and the phone to track how far (and direction if possible) is the first destination point Sep 09 07:52:20 has anyone compiled Darcs for n900? Sep 09 07:54:27 afaik Ovi Maps is doing that, though with maps Sep 09 07:55:05 i know software that does it with maps Sep 09 07:55:26 I just want the maps part stripped, since I have no connectivity Sep 09 07:55:54 I thought no connectivity would strip the maps part automatically ;-D Sep 09 07:56:21 yes, but the software often complains to connect Sep 09 07:56:51 morn Sep 09 07:56:54 also probably it's impossible to define POS/waypoints by lat/lon Sep 09 07:58:33 anyway for all the maps apps there's some method or another to dl all map tiles and use local cache only, so no need for connectivity then Sep 09 08:08:05 Morning, all Sep 09 08:08:46 Morning Jaffa, rest of rabble \o Sep 09 08:09:15 <[DarkGUNMAN-Ext]> morning...

Sep 09 08:15:57 thats what I thought Sep 09 08:16:19 only 74 apps Sep 09 08:16:38 I bet we can beat that with different app instances easily Sep 09 08:16:55 hi there ...i hv some stupid Qs to ask about my N900....if anyone wants to help ...pls PM me THX!!

Sep 09 08:21:39 ^_^V Sep 09 08:21:47 not that hard if it's .deb files, copy them over in mass storage mode, unplug phone, and open in file manager Sep 09 08:22:26 merlin1991: both Sep 09 08:22:27 ok Sep 09 08:22:41 and fix dependencies if needed and fix repositories if its needed and.. Sep 09 08:22:43 ~question Sep 09 08:22:44 from memory, question is If you have a question and want people to give useful answers, make sure you have read this first: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html Sep 09 08:22:51 ~ask Sep 09 08:22:51 Questions in the channel should be specific, informative, complete, concise, and on-topic. Don't ask if you can ask a question first. Don't ask if a person is there; just ask what you intended to ask them. Better questions more frequently yield better answers. We are all here voluntarily or against our will. Sep 09 08:23:00 dneary: Thanks for picking up my point about community work duplication in a much more eloquent way (I tend not to quote Benedictus de Spinosza ;-)) Sep 09 08:23:16 Jaffa, I had to look up who said it :) Sep 09 08:23:35 It was supposed to be Spinoza, did I spell it wrong? Sep 09 08:23:59 dneary: You had an extra S. I wonder if anyone will complain ;-) Sep 09 08:24:11 Jaffa, It doesn't shock Sep 09 08:24:23 so perhaps not Sep 09 08:24:36 And who knows, maybe it's a valid alternative spelling :) Sep 09 08:24:41 lcuk: what? fire up 100+ apps then screenshot top or what's all that about? Sep 09 08:24:48 does anybody know of a widget that shows if computers are up or down based on ping? That would be nice, I think. Sep 09 08:25:00 Jaffa, It's always the same, though - professional organisers don't like to leave wires hanging Sep 09 08:25:27 You don't feel comfortable when you say "I need someone to make sure that X happens, I'm not going to do it - let me know" Sep 09 08:26:12 (at the core is a basic belief that you can't trust the community to just make things happen, and this belief is often proved correct) Sep 09 08:26:54 However, if you do it right, great things can happen Sep 09 08:34:23 lcuk: I'd happily do a `for (( i=0; i<100; i++ )); do someshittyapp&; done` and screenshot the htop header, but honestly - I don't see any way to answer that nonsense on http://mobilegeekinc.mobstac.com/2010/09/04/nokia-e5-breaks-world-multitasking-record/ Sep 09 08:34:49 I just loaded lots of .mp3s into a folder I made in MyDocs, but how do I get the media player to play them? Sep 09 08:35:18 jpinx-eeepc: wait for tracker to get off his lazy ass and index them Sep 09 08:35:36 :) Sep 09 08:35:43 lcuk: hell, I'm even willing to `/etc/init.d/dbus-scripting start` XD - and snapshot htop showing 900+ processes Sep 09 08:35:50 while he's doing that, expect the cpu to become fully used and your n900 to be unresponsive Sep 09 08:35:56 jpinx-eeepc: if you're in a hurry, you can open them from the file manager Sep 09 08:36:20 DocScrutinizer: lol Sep 09 08:36:28 DocScrutinizer, impossible. Sep 09 08:36:32 nah - not desperaate - I'll leave it overnight to index, etc Sep 09 08:36:33 not sure how they define "applications" Sep 09 08:36:42 we just have to face it, the E5 is better at multitasking than the N900 Sep 09 08:36:47 ninehundered! Mobilegeekinc take THAT! Sep 09 08:36:56 lcuk: .< Sep 09 08:36:57 er Sep 09 08:36:59 :< Sep 09 08:38:02 E5, eat it! Sep 09 08:40:28 jpinx-eeepc: install load applet!! watch CPU usage. When tracker finished and CPU going down from 100% to a reasonable low number, probably tracker has finished his friggin indexing and mediaplayer is ready to show/play your media Sep 09 08:41:12 maemo6 MUST have load applet by default!

Sep 09 09:02:32 ;) Sep 09 09:04:40 will apt-get install bash3 kick out that friggin ol bash2.05? Sep 09 09:05:09 searching for "GAH!!! HELL FIRE AND BRIMSTONE!!!! BURN!!! DIE!!! MWAHAHAHAHA!!!!" on google gives several irclogpages from this channel as result :D Sep 09 09:05:26 check it's details, it should if the package name is the same "bash" Sep 09 09:05:41 package name is bash3 Sep 09 09:06:06 though the executable should be bash Sep 09 09:06:17 so conflict with bash pkg Sep 09 09:07:37 The following packages have unmet dependencies: Sep 09 09:07:38 bash3: Conflicts: bash Sep 09 09:07:40 mp-fremantle-generic-pr: Depends: hildon-desktop (= 1:2.2.138-1+0m5) but 1:2.2.142-1 is to be installed Sep 09 09:07:53 first OK, but WTF for #2?! Sep 09 09:08:14 apt-cache policy hildon-desktop Sep 09 09:08:36 err policy? Sep 09 09:08:47 (apt noob here) Sep 09 09:09:05 it should tell you about the candidates to install for that package Sep 09 09:09:43 FSCK!!! I installed the HD with bugfix, from mohammad repo Sep 09 09:09:46 one candidate is the one already installed. another candidate may be available from some repo. apt-cache policy $pkg tells you which version of $pkg from which repo will be installed Sep 09 09:09:55 another apt-noob question, apt tells me there are 18 packets to upgrade, how do I let it list the names? Sep 09 09:10:15 merlin1991: apt-get upgrade should tell you ... Sep 09 09:10:36 and goes straight ahead doing the upgrades :/ Sep 09 09:10:43 eep! Sep 09 09:10:44 what's that been? --force-install? Sep 09 09:10:51 that's not right ... Sep 09 09:11:18 MohammadAG51: PING Sep 09 09:12:08 ~lart bash3-maintainer Sep 09 09:12:09 * infobot beats bash3-maintainer into protomatter with the andromeda galaxy Sep 09 09:12:20 merlin1991: apt-get upgrade should always prompt unless you use apt-get upgrade -y or something ... Sep 09 09:12:34 I guess I'm unlucky :D Sep 09 09:12:47 also I still haven't figured out when apt-get install x promts me and when not Sep 09 09:12:52 <_trine> can anyone tell what the differences if any exists between board revistion 2101, 2104 and 2204 Sep 09 09:13:06 Morning everyone ! Sep 09 09:13:33 * DocScrutinizer shouts swearwords at fsckdup packaging Sep 09 09:14:15 merlin1991: if you somehow hit enter twice when running apt-get upgrade, the second enter will accept the default answer which is yes. does it print the prompt at all on apt-get upgrade ? (Do you want to continue [Y/n]?) Sep 09 09:14:32 normally yes, but sometimes not Sep 09 09:15:04 uhm, as for when apt-get install prompts. I'm *pretty sure* it prompts when it has to change the state of packages besides the one you asked for to install the package you wanted Sep 09 09:15:23 ie, it has to get dependencies, or deal with a conflict Sep 09 09:15:54 what would be the best way, to get the size of the package without installing? Sep 09 09:15:59 Will this Maemo 6 / Harmattan come with Qt UI solution instead of the 'old' Hildon / GTK ? Sep 09 09:21:32 merlin1991: well you can at least tell it -d for download only Sep 09 09:21:45 doesn't help if you're worried about using up your data plan though Sep 09 09:21:51 anyways, gotta get some sleep Sep 09 09:21:57 2:18AM here O_o; Sep 09 09:22:02 :D Sep 09 09:22:04 night Sep 09 09:29:16 anyone know how to access the sqlite database where n900 keeps its alarms? or calendar entries? Sep 09 09:29:40 afaik you can call sqlite in xterm Sep 09 09:29:52 s/te/te3/ Sep 09 09:29:52 merlin1991 meant: afaik you can call sqlite3 in xterm Sep 09 09:32:10 '.tables' shows nothing :/ Sep 09 09:33:16 I might need a file as well Sep 09 09:34:57 well can't find the database I'm looking for Sep 09 09:36:15 I'm looking for a qt expert to help me : I got some problem with QStyledItemDelegate on a QListView. Specially the size hint. When my window rotate (on maemo) sizeHint isn't called again and the height isn't enought due to text wrap ... how can i force the resize to call sizeHint ? what is strange is that everything is well resized, text well wrapped but height for the row keep the same height than when i was using 800x480 windows Sep 09 09:42:33 Milo-: sqlite /home/user/.calendar/calendardb Sep 09 09:42:46 Khertan_ bah, looked for .sqlite :) Sep 09 09:42:58 :) Sep 09 09:52:05 assuming I can modify that by hand, will those new alarms still be triggered if the phone is off, or is there another system for that? Sep 09 09:55:03 Milo-: check alarmed pkg Sep 09 09:55:24 DocScrutinizer Will do. Sep 09 09:55:49 Milo-: unrelated to calendar, but nice alarms Sep 09 09:57:26 Milo-: calendar probably also using alarmd lib, like alarmed (with 'e') app does Sep 09 10:03:46 probably alarm daemon Sep 09 10:04:39 DocScrutinizer is it in extras, -testing or -devel? Sep 09 10:06:42 dunno, sorry Sep 09 10:07:37 Milo-: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=46594 Sep 09 10:19:55 thanks Sep 09 10:35:28 *yawn* Sep 09 10:35:42 good morning #maemo! Sep 09 10:36:39 morning Sep 09 11:01:46 I've been flashing the kernel several times in a row, trying new code. Now whatever I do (even restoring the original kernel) the device boots, the loading dots appear, the charging led sequence starts, then black screen... Sep 09 11:02:08 and it keeps charging Sep 09 11:19:43 umm Sep 09 11:20:28 time for a full combined fiasco flash? Sep 09 11:20:37 hm any way to enanble the fm transmitter when connected over usb? Sep 09 11:20:52 :( but wwwhhhhyyy? I didn't DO anything.... Sep 09 11:21:21 merlin1991: check jacekowski's fm* pkg, it should enable this Sep 09 11:21:25 afaik Sep 09 11:21:35 in devel or where? Sep 09 11:21:38 MNZ: no idea, maybe the kernels did something Sep 09 11:22:34 merlin1991: I don't know, someone else here should have better advise Sep 09 11:22:42 doh Sep 09 11:23:07 jacekowski: ping Sep 09 11:23:34 is there only one contact list in maemo? I'd like to have more than one and to choose which one to synchronize with my desktop. Sep 09 11:24:00 N/A Sep 09 11:24:51 merlin1991: no packages Sep 09 11:24:59 jacekowski.org will have everything you need Sep 09 11:25:07 meh full flash, it works. I just have no idea why. frig. Sep 09 11:25:11 DocScrutinizer, was that to me? Sep 09 11:25:20 yup Sep 09 11:25:27 DocScrutinizer, elaborate please? Sep 09 11:25:34 Not Available Sep 09 11:25:45 let's see if I break somehting :D Sep 09 11:26:22 MNZ: :-D Sep 09 11:26:50 oh. I wonder why. It uses a standard evolution-data-server, doesn't it? Sep 09 11:27:15 MNZ: just a silly question: you removed batery, so occasional PMU (twl4030) lockups could reset? Sep 09 11:27:36 DocScrutinizer, yes Sep 09 11:30:23 DocScrutinizer, why? Sep 09 11:30:58 replaced the binary and now I get failed to change fmtx state :/ Sep 09 11:31:01 thought it might cure the problem Sep 09 11:31:45 * merlin1991 goes rebooting Sep 09 11:32:07 oh well... I spent last night debugging my code.... stripped it apart... all for no reason :'( Sep 09 11:32:11 is there a is there a python wrapper for liblocation? Sep 09 11:37:29 the hacked binary didn't work :/ Sep 09 11:37:46 using it disabled the fm transmitter completely Sep 09 11:40:08 I reverted back to the original Sep 09 11:40:27 sobczyk: python-location Sep 09 11:40:52 sobczyk: http://wiki.maemo.org/PyMaemo/Using_Location_API Sep 09 11:45:43 merlin1991: you're lying Sep 09 11:45:50 kerio, no Sep 09 11:45:54 yes Sep 09 11:46:10 as soon as I used the hacked binary I got errors Sep 09 11:46:20 shall I ss them for you ? :P Sep 09 11:48:12 hrmmm I blew it up again.... I have a feeling I'm generating fiasco images in a wrong way....... but it's the same script that I've always used Sep 09 11:51:59 "fiasco-gen -o /home/mnzaki/devel/kernel/zImage.fiasco -g -k arch/arm/boot/zImage" <--- is something wrong with this? Sep 09 11:58:28 :@ Sep 09 11:59:18 did anyone know that if you have a fiasco image and use "fiasco-gen -o" over the same file it fscks up the system when you flash it????????? Sep 09 12:02:19 g Sep 09 12:02:57 sorry, my network kinda lagged badly :/ Sep 09 12:06:12 MNZ: uh? So it needs a nonexistent destination or what do you mean to say? Sep 09 12:06:46 MNZ: (sorry, never used fiasco-gen) Sep 09 12:07:11 DocScrutinizer, yes :@ :@ :@ I don't know what it tries to do when the file already exists, but it clears fsks the rootfs when I flash an image generated this way Sep 09 12:07:33 s/clears/clearly/ Sep 09 12:07:33 MNZ meant: DocScrutinizer, yes :@ :@ :@ I don't know what it tries to do when the file already exists, but it clearly fsks the rootfs when I flash an image generated this way Sep 09 12:08:02 hmm, so at least you found the root cause of your problems :-D Sep 09 12:08:27 I spent a friggin night debugging this. WTF Sep 09 12:08:47 not nice Sep 09 12:10:25 file a ticket against fiasco-gen; attach a hotfix: a shellscript called fiasco-gen to go to local/bin that rm's the image prior to calling original fiasco-gen Sep 09 12:26:07 hey, man Sep 09 13:10:54 what's the color depth on the n900 (for GLES if that matters)? Sep 09 13:11:57 it's 3 colours deep Sep 09 13:12:02 it's deeper than water Sep 09 13:12:59 :D Sep 09 13:13:46 heh, 16bit per pixel is it? Sep 09 13:13:51 oscillik: i'm sorry, but you're awfully wrong. I've seen waters that is more than three colors Sep 09 13:14:04 is = has Sep 09 13:14:22 you sir, are a charlatan and a deciever Sep 09 13:14:31 lies, again! Sep 09 13:14:48 oscillik is making up wild stories Sep 09 13:15:42 accusations, even Sep 09 13:19:42 ooh, that Nokia U is pretty sweet Sep 09 13:20:04 i wonder if people think before talking Sep 09 13:20:23 how can you add optical zoom but not a keyboard Sep 09 13:37:57 RAAHAHAHAHA HAHHA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH QT4 QPIXMAP DOESN'T SUPPORT GIF ON MAEMO ! Sep 09 13:39:57 hah Sep 09 13:40:05 heyo :) folks how are you all here ? Sep 09 13:54:02 Khertan_: "But gif is proprietary!" Sep 09 13:57:11 so is qt :) Sep 09 13:58:39 QT is probably old enough that GIF was patented when it was being designed Sep 09 13:58:45 the patent rrran out in 2003? Sep 09 14:02:22 i thought it was before that, but, yeah. Sep 09 14:04:20 X-Fade, ping Sep 09 14:04:35 MohammadAG: pong Sep 09 14:05:01 X-Fade, I remember you told me the autobuilder doesn't have outside access right? Sep 09 14:05:08 does it have access to *maemo.org? Sep 09 14:06:15 MohammadAG: To the repository machine. Sep 09 14:06:33 so can I wget a source? Sep 09 14:06:58 MohammadAG: Technically yes, but that really is bad design. Sep 09 14:07:22 X-Fade, it's better than include binaries in the source package I guess... Sep 09 14:07:25 mortini: You should always include everything you need in your source package. Sep 09 14:07:27 including* Sep 09 14:07:42 Hmm tab-foo. Sep 09 14:07:43 X-Fade, I won't include a whole kernel source in my package, for obvious reasons Sep 09 14:08:01 MohammadAG: What are you trying to do? Sep 09 14:08:03 titan has kernel-power-source disabled from debian/rules Sep 09 14:08:15 build modules against kernel sources Sep 09 14:08:22 MohammadAG: Get him to fix that then? Sep 09 14:08:32 MohammadAG: It is stupid to work around things like that. Sep 09 14:08:45 I pm'd him yesterday, no reply yet and I need to release the app now Sep 09 14:09:00 Always a wasted effort and it really doesn't scale. Sep 09 14:09:18 MohammadAG: Patience grasshopper. Sep 09 14:09:37 X-Fade, can't, I announced the release as yesterday and delayed it cause of this :) Sep 09 14:09:58 MohammadAG: Then you should have thought about it more before opening your mouth :) Sep 09 14:10:01 also, ENDED 2010-08-10 10:09 Sep 09 14:10:09 Clearly bad planning. Sep 09 14:10:09 so he's pretty much disappeared Sep 09 14:10:40 X-Fade: eh? Sep 09 14:10:41 Well or he doesn't think it is stable enough. Or doesn't want it in Extras. Sep 09 14:10:50 mortini: Sorry tab completion.. Sep 09 14:10:58 ah,ok Sep 09 14:11:35 X-Fade, can the autobuilder fetch sources using apt-get source Sep 09 14:12:33 Yay, MWKN's Twitter feed is back Sep 09 14:13:23 Jaffa: Check out stats in download per repo. Sep 09 14:13:27 LOL http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/09/apples-app-store-review-guidelines-we-dont-need-any-more-far/ Sep 09 14:13:33 X-Fade: URL? Sep 09 14:13:40 Jaffa: Any app in downloads. Sep 09 14:13:43 "We have over 250,000 apps in the App Store. We don't need any more Fart apps." lmfao Sep 09 14:14:10 MohammadAG: Yes it should. Sep 09 14:15:42 X-Fade: Hmm, something happened in August which meant more people got stuff from Extras-devel than Extras: http://maemo.org/downloads/product/Maemo5/catorise/# Sep 09 14:15:48 X-Fade: Blog post I can link to? Sep 09 14:16:29 Jaffa: In the airport atm :) Had some time to hack on it while waiting on the plane :) Sep 09 14:16:36 X-Fade: Cool :-) Sep 09 14:17:08 oh cool, per repo stats! Sep 09 14:17:08 Jaffa: But the extras devel growth in downloads, I can't explain. It is not for every package in extras-devel. Sep 09 14:17:22 * frals needs to update fmms_stats.py Sep 09 14:17:33 Jaffa: Some packages even got lower downloads. So it is not some form of heavy mirroring. Sep 09 14:17:49 frals: Willing to share for people to get extras_stats.py? Sep 09 14:18:09 X-Fade: Does seem common with vim, hermes & catorise FWIW Sep 09 14:18:12 Jaffa: heh, sure, it really just adds the numbers together and prints a total ;) Sep 09 14:18:24 frals: Saves me having to do it :-p Sep 09 14:18:49 Jaffa: Yeah, can fapman be the cause? Sep 09 14:19:04 Jaffa: Does it prefer one repo over the other, the other way around? Sep 09 14:19:12 X-Fade: Does it enable -devel by default? Sep 09 14:19:13 X-Fade, if that works then it's already solved, cd /usr/src && apt-get source kernel-power && cd cd kernel-power-2.6.28 && for x in `cat debian/patches/series | grep -v "#"`; do patch -p1 X-Fade: HAM will go for highest version Sep 09 14:19:24 typo, double cds Sep 09 14:19:33 Jaffa: Yes, but if the versions are the same? Sep 09 14:19:41 X-Fade: Oh, interesting. Sep 09 14:19:47 X-Fade: Good question Sep 09 14:20:28 Jaffa: The jump amount is not the same for all apps at least. So it almost has to be some manual install thing. Sep 09 14:20:35 Jaffa: ill link it on twitter once ive updated it for this new brilliant feature :-) Sep 09 14:20:53 Jaffa: But the jump starts at Aug 2. Sep 09 14:21:10 frals: d1,2,3 now. Sep 09 14:21:54 Ok, time to get some personal space. People are gathering here to board their plane. Sep 09 14:22:13 Khertan_: why would you use gif over png Sep 09 14:22:14 I guess I should board too :) Sep 09 14:22:36 hey guys Sep 09 14:22:36 \me waves Sep 09 14:22:50 one of our devs is having a issue installing the maemo sdk Sep 09 14:22:53 who can i ask Sep 09 14:22:56 * Noobmonk3y waves even Sep 09 14:23:09 when we run ./maemo-sdk-install_5.0.sh Sep 09 14:23:11 we get Sep 09 14:23:15 lol seif join the queueue! hehehe, Sep 09 14:23:19 DISPLAY already set.

Sep 09 14:43:10 Has anyone actually used flasher to load a kernel on the fly? Sep 09 14:43:19 I mean load and boot a kernel without actually flashing it Sep 09 14:44:17 MNZ, yes Sep 09 14:44:56 Termana, how? I've been trying and it doesn't seem to work. It gets to the five loading dots then black screen Sep 09 14:45:05 that means kernel actually booted, but init failed Sep 09 14:45:08 MNZ: i ve tryed ... but didn't seems to work for me Sep 09 14:45:48 MNZ, are you sure you have the modules there for your kernel, and that the kernel is actually a working kernel? Sep 09 14:46:01 It definitely works, I done it when I loaded up MeeGo Sep 09 14:46:48 I tried by just using the command as --help suggests, and when I googled I only found any mention of this on a meego wiki Sep 09 14:47:05 I think there are some args I need to pass to the kernel maybe? Sep 09 14:47:58 MNZ, not as long as you have set the defaults right in the kernel config before compiling Sep 09 14:53:40 seif, reinstall scratchbox Sep 09 15:24:37 any packaging gurus here? if so, do you know why some apps show icons in the appman the first time and others not? Sep 09 15:24:37 OUch ... reboot of my n900 without any warning Sep 09 15:25:26 Khertan_: loose battery? Sep 09 15:25:44 LOL Sep 09 15:25:50 nope ... i use mad developpers Sep 09 15:25:59 and use the window networking kernel module Sep 09 15:26:05 X-Fade, how many builders are there? Sep 09 15:26:16 and launching Wireshark on my windows host make the n900 reboot Sep 09 15:26:18 funny Sep 09 15:26:30 Khertan_, broadcasting reboot over ssh reboots my N900 too Sep 09 15:26:44 lol Sep 09 15:27:03 i.e if I reboot my laptop with the reboot command and the N900 was connected via ssh, it reboots too Sep 09 15:27:17 wait, what Sep 09 15:27:18 how Sep 09 15:27:24 idk Sep 09 15:27:31 but it annoys me Sep 09 15:29:05 MohammadAG, didn't you tell me you can boot a kernel using flasher before? have you done it before? Sep 09 15:29:14 yeah Sep 09 15:29:25 flasher-3.5 -k image.bin -l -b Sep 09 15:29:32 you can specify kernel parameters Sep 09 15:30:04 you plug in the usb and get nolo up first right? Sep 09 15:30:17 yes, hold U and all that stuff Sep 09 15:30:29 and image.bin can't be compressed? as in zImage? Sep 09 15:30:42 it is a zImage :P Sep 09 15:30:52 idk why i referred to it as image.bin Sep 09 15:31:02 well I've tried everything, I get to the five dots stage and then black screen Sep 09 15:31:04 of death Sep 09 15:31:20 hmm, what kernel are you flashing? Sep 09 15:31:33 right now just trying the stock kernel really Sep 09 15:31:41 to eliminate any other problems Sep 09 15:31:54 it should boot fine Sep 09 15:32:02 framebuffer kernels otoh... Sep 09 15:32:18 what's wrong with them? because I use one as well Sep 09 15:32:54 Hum ... this means that a right tcp packet can reboot the device Sep 09 15:33:06 so we can spam to force reboot :) Sep 09 15:33:27 MNZ, they crash sometimes, flash them Sep 09 15:33:43 after flashing, your device might reboot 3 times, but it will boot... eventually Sep 09 15:34:18 MNZ, here's an image if you want one, it's stock but has framebuffer enabled, http://mohammadag.xceleo.org/public/maemo/kernels/zImage-fb-omap1.bin Sep 09 15:34:39 well I can't even get stock to boot yet :/ Sep 09 15:34:47 and here's a power40 image, same as power but with framebuffer, http://mohammadag.xceleo.org/public/maemo/kernels/framebuffer/power-kernel%20variants/zImage-power40-framebuffer-kernel Sep 09 15:35:07 MNZ, don't use -l -b with framebuffer kernels Sep 09 15:35:16 they'll cause you headaches Sep 09 15:35:19 just flash them Sep 09 15:35:38 how to get maemo xchat to use readable colours??? Sep 09 15:35:41 k, but what I really need is to boot on the fly because I'm testing code and it would be a bit easier this way Sep 09 15:39:45 fiq Sep 09 15:41:19 Oh right, I installed xchat before the "Make it look like N900's theme" effort went in Sep 09 15:42:55 ShadowJK, heh Sep 09 15:43:52 Hi Sep 09 15:44:47 Is there a way to change the call accept and decline buttons on the n900. I sometimes press a button when i take it out of my pocket. Sep 09 15:46:25 a slider will nice Sep 09 15:46:48 ... Sep 09 15:47:23 Yeah. Slider would definitely be nice Sep 09 15:47:36 ALso for alarms etc. Sep 09 15:47:57 jap something like that. Sep 09 15:49:46 closed source, out of ours hands Sep 09 15:50:01 MohammadAG, wait... do you remove the usb after kernel is sent??? Sep 09 15:50:31 MNZ, yeah Sep 09 15:50:38 well, i do Sep 09 15:50:51 I mean immediately after it, before booting is over Sep 09 15:50:53 I think I crashed the autobuilder Sep 09 15:50:55 or it's too slow Sep 09 15:51:08 MNZ, yes, w/ a USB a framebuffer kernel crashes Sep 09 15:51:38 but.... I don't have fb... and the stock kernel definitely doesn't Sep 09 15:52:14 because I just realized the kernel doesn't boot with usb, even if flashed Sep 09 15:53:15 MNZ, I meant that's why I take out the USB Sep 09 15:56:32 ShadowJK: on which device? which version? Sep 09 15:56:50 DocScrutinizer, N900 in December? Sep 09 15:57:24 duh, never noticed any difference in theming, and I guess I installed xchat in November Sep 09 15:57:46 the default xchat colors now are complete and utter fail Sep 09 15:57:55 You only get the new theme if you installed first time after the theming Sep 09 15:58:07 otherwise the old xchat.conf from the pre-theming time stays Sep 09 15:58:30 aaah, so I'm happy it stays that way :-P Sep 09 15:58:34 Or if you delete xchat.conf I think you get the new theme too Sep 09 15:59:05 yep, I remember there was utter madness like white on black and other stuff Sep 09 15:59:31 I actually have white (gray) on black on my desktop :P Sep 09 15:59:41 From before xchat (mainline) changed to white bg by default Sep 09 15:59:48 white on black? that woulda been good. IIRC it's dark blue on black Sep 09 15:59:54 which I never faced as happily I avoided updating when xchat by default killed the conf on update Sep 09 16:00:05 iirc my desktop xchat theme is from xchat 1.4.3 days :D Sep 09 16:00:08 if there was such a version Sep 09 16:00:34 black screen bgs are so much easier on your eyes Sep 09 16:01:18 for sure, first morning I switched on my computer and xchat's white background stabbed my eyes like a C coder stabbing a C++ coder adding (void*) casts to code Sep 09 16:01:54 jpinx-eeepc: ooh yes Sep 09 16:02:07 muuuuuuch easier Sep 09 16:02:46 I am still looking for a gui tabbed editor that will offer a black background Sep 09 16:03:10 * jpinx-eeepc does a lot of simple text document editing Sep 09 16:10:22 * DocScrutinizer wonders idly to publish all his .xchat/* - modulo the chatlogs Sep 09 16:12:43 I think I even copied over the xchat.conf and some other stuff from N810, as it was so annoying to redo all the tweaks Sep 09 16:13:43 remember to remove passwords too Sep 09 16:13:53 sure Sep 09 16:14:35 haha, that's be funny to have 50 chanops on each of 10 chan Sep 09 16:16:02 and all are MEEEEEEE Sep 09 16:16:15 *shudder* Sep 09 16:17:17 * ShadowJK doesn't store passwords in xchat Sep 09 16:17:54 I just do /server blah blh blah, /newserver blah blah blah on startup to connect to irssi-proxy Sep 09 16:18:49 that's probably a good idea Sep 09 16:19:05 should work with ZNC as well Sep 09 16:21:18 strange, ZNC passes thru CTCP-version requests Sep 09 16:22:40 I have to say I'm not particularly happy with ZNC Sep 09 16:23:13 it's ok for one client UA Sep 09 16:29:13 jpinx-eeepc: gedit? Sep 09 16:29:49 liori: pulls in some gnome depends -- I believe Sep 09 16:33:40 anyone know if Psfreedom has been compiled for the power user kernel yet? Sep 09 16:37:56 jpinx-eeepc: which editor wouldn't offer custom settings for fg/bg color? Sep 09 16:39:30 DocScrutinizer51: pong Sep 09 16:39:33 I was looking for the package "screen". Dont find it in the maemo repositories. difficult to find something reasolable in google :-) Sep 09 16:39:50 jpinx-eeepc: if you want no deps, use xterm/rxvt and some console editor... vim has tabs Sep 09 16:39:51 pog: Google "GNU screen" Sep 09 16:39:51 DocScrutinizer51: leafpad Sep 09 16:39:54 jacekowski: ETIMEOUT Sep 09 16:40:01 o.k thansk derf Sep 09 16:40:16 dneary: We seem to be on the same wavelength this week :) Sep 09 16:40:46 liori: I can use nano, but not very handy and no tabs Sep 09 16:40:50 Jaffa, Aren't we always? Sep 09 16:40:57 jacekowski: somebody asked how to enable fmtx while usb plugged in Sep 09 16:41:35 dneary: Oh, of course. Sep 09 16:42:08 found screen http://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/devtools/maemo5 Sep 09 16:42:32 yeah, i've noticed Sep 09 16:46:40 Good the spec thread is long.

Sep 09 16:49:09 MNZ: thanks Sep 09 16:49:16 does it run crysis? Sep 09 16:49:22 MNZ: wine isn't that slow Sep 09 16:49:24 and hmm, qemu Sep 09 16:49:26 qemu is slow Sep 09 16:49:37 not as slow as full emu Sep 09 16:49:51 but i mean it may be faster than my old ~200mhz pc Sep 09 16:49:52 http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=811829#post811829 Sep 09 16:49:56 btw. Sep 09 16:49:57 what I don't understand about wine on arm, wine is a api-converter, does it need qemu? Sep 09 16:50:06 pog: yes Sep 09 16:50:11 o.k Sep 09 16:50:31 pog, it's needed on n900 because of the arm arch, which is not supported by wine Sep 09 16:50:42 I have seen, win98 runs on N900 :-) Sep 09 16:50:55 pog: basicaly what is wine is just a software that loads PE binary into memory, links it with replacement of windows .dlls and runs it Sep 09 16:51:11 but that's all x86 Sep 09 16:51:26 does arm wine run fully on qemu? Sep 09 16:51:27 thanks Sep 09 16:51:44 or is it clever enough to have native libraries? Sep 09 16:51:56 I like probably to install vonbasco-midi-player, if it runs unter N900 Sep 09 16:53:36 <[DrkGUNMAN-N900]> http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=43480&highlight=wine+qemu Sep 09 17:00:14 MohammadAG, not one mention of KaKaRoTo on the psfreedom post? tsk tks Sep 09 17:01:54 lcuk, hmm, I remember I did mention him, he's mentioned on the package page, and the about page though Sep 09 17:02:24 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WjIM4eNmp-g MAME4all on pandora Sep 09 17:02:43 MohammadAG, standing on the shoulders of giants..

Sep 09 17:23:36 ebzzry, read and find out, it might not include something you are thinking, but includes tweaking of a lot of the transitions.ini file Sep 09 17:23:49 i believe the default file has notes about what each does, but the ui may not Sep 09 17:26:35 lcuk: let me check Sep 09 17:28:30 editing the file with an editor is easier than editing with the GUI Sep 09 17:35:27 lcuk: no desktop transitions :( Sep 09 17:50:40 DocScrutinizer, pretty much finished work on the driver code, but haven't tested the hwdep interface yet. Sep 09 17:51:40 DocScrutinizer, I have tested the rest and I *think* there are no more bugs. I also pushed a doc to Documentation/sound/alsa/soc/codecs. If you want, take a quick look over the code? Sep 09 17:52:15 I have to be at places now, so I'm going off. Will work on libalsa code when back. Sep 09 17:52:27 cheers #maemo!

On windows it exports Sdcard via mass storage! Sep 09 18:20:11 why linux box doesnt see the sdcard, but windows can. Sep 09 18:20:26 doesnt make sense to me. Sep 09 18:21:13 fdisk -l doesnt list the sdcard, it only lists the emmc. Sep 09 18:22:05 does cat /proc/partitions show it Sep 09 18:22:24 or is that the same thing Sep 09 18:23:09 pupnik_: nope, it doesnt show it as well Sep 09 18:24:42 pupnik_: although it is indeed umounted when i plug the usb cable into N900 Sep 09 18:25:21 so N900 is indeed presenting it to the linux box, but the box might be rejecting it. strange. Sep 09 18:25:35 does lsusb show the device? Sep 09 18:25:43 i have nitdroid installed via nitdroid-installer in the sdcard Sep 09 18:25:44 perhaps you have an ancient linux box Sep 09 18:26:09 the device would show up if it is registered as a hd device on usb bus Sep 09 18:26:16 even if partition table were broken Sep 09 18:26:41 Bus 001 Device 006: ID 0421:01c7 Nokia Mobile Phones is what i get in lsusb Sep 09 18:26:50 this is a known feature we see every other day Sep 09 18:27:18 it is not an ancient box, a shiny gentoo install :) Sep 09 18:27:43 The sdcard is a Samsung 8gb class 6 card. Sep 09 18:28:05 pupnik_: should lsusb show Samsung sdcard? Sep 09 18:28:14 seems some distros have problems with multiple storage devices (aka partitions?) via same USB device Sep 09 18:28:39 trumee: check syslog, to see what devices were detected Sep 09 18:29:22 might be an issue with udev, or sth Sep 09 18:30:02 DocScrutinizer: http://www.pastie.org/1148637 Sep 09 18:30:44 no mention of anything except sdf which is internal emmc Sep 09 18:31:14 truncated prematurely Sep 09 18:31:59 DocScrutinizer: you mean it is my boxes issue?

Sep 09 18:38:15 yes for education most business clientes wanted suse Sep 09 18:38:25 back in 2003-2004 Sep 09 18:38:26 need to clear out the sdcard to get the new nitdroid :D Sep 09 18:40:04 suse here since... yeah since very beginning (of suse) Sep 09 18:40:25 suse? ain't it from the guys who did netware and (oh, my!)

Sep 09 18:43:39 so suse is made by same company that developed netware Sep 09 18:43:55 Doc: Have you already made the latest Modest build part of your SSU? Sep 09 18:44:05 Oh, wait, wrongperson Sep 09 18:44:28 RST38h, i guess you need MohammadAG51 Sep 09 18:44:32 yea Sep 09 18:45:58 meh, i have to admit that n800 is superior to n900. i can type '^' on n800 :) Sep 09 18:46:11 … Sep 09 18:46:25 luke-jr, wut?

Sep 09 18:49:22 DocScrutinizer, how that matters? Sep 09 18:49:38 slonopotamus: EXACTLY! Sep 09 18:52:46 Is there a way to stop the app manager to look for updates everytime i connect to some network? Sep 09 18:52:54 it's still the SuSE AG dudes sitting 2km from here (and other places) and developing SLES, like they did before the label of the company changed to Novel. And OpenSuse Linux definitely is not "from the guys who made netware" Sep 09 18:57:24 hmm Sep 09 18:57:26 it's like stating "Mercedes Benz has been invented by D/C" Sep 09 18:58:00 anyone with ubuntu: i have a file: xyz.desktop I want to edit that file with GUI (its not from an installed program its just in a random folder) Sep 09 18:58:00 slonopotamus: huh? the n900 has separate arrow keys Sep 09 18:58:02 how can I Sep 09 18:58:12 slonopotamus: i can type ^ on my n900 too Sep 09 18:58:16 without vkbd Sep 09 18:58:26 i set it to... shift+fn+h Sep 09 18:58:47 mnn nm Sep 09 18:59:06 lcuk: use a sane desKtop :-P Sep 09 18:59:18 DocScrutinizer, meh Sep 09 18:59:22 it works for most other stuff Sep 09 18:59:35 lcuk: then rightclick to the file in a decent Konqueror and select "open with..." Sep 09 18:59:36 just can't right click and open in an editor unlike every other filetype Sep 09 18:59:45 there isn't an open with.. Sep 09 18:59:57 its missing, .desktop files are part of the desktop Sep 09 19:00:11 so its not giving usual actions Sep 09 19:00:13 not in konqui Sep 09 19:00:38 mm change whole desktop for one frustration ;) Sep 09 19:00:47 but meh, if you want to live with gnomes, us mc instead, hit F4 Sep 09 19:01:20 i opened it directly from within the editor but its just wrong way round Sep 09 19:01:42 it's WHAT? Sep 09 19:01:52 RTL text? :-P Sep 09 19:02:32 or upside down fonts? Sep 09 19:02:51 having to open app, then open the file within it Sep 09 19:03:00 * lcuk rarely ever goes into the file menu Sep 09 19:03:43 gnome as a part ob ubuntu is a Vista with some special themes, you can't expect it to work like a decent linux :-P Sep 09 19:04:03 http://xkcd.com/424/ Sep 09 19:05:09 :P Sep 09 19:05:27 well, it wfm and for lots of others Sep 09 19:05:28 haha Sep 09 19:05:37 I see I see Sep 09 19:05:39 apart from this niggle! Sep 09 19:06:28 Khweeteur 0.0.23 available in #extras-devel ... Sep 09 19:07:33 lcuk: maybe you have to checkmark "show extensions" in Nautilus' settings (or whatever dwarf err gnome is using now for filemanager) Sep 09 19:08:20 heh its not a case of hidden extensions Sep 09 19:08:34 its that gnome actively wants to treat .desktop files as part of the running desktop Sep 09 19:08:37 duh, it's not ? :-P Sep 09 19:08:48 and I bet changing that association will fsck up the menus and stuff Sep 09 19:09:06 * DocScrutinizer shrugs Sep 09 19:09:12 gnome... pfft Sep 09 19:10:10 is there a pptp gui client for the n900.. Sep 09 19:10:31 gnome devels won't be happy until the desktop looks, feels, and works like the last EOLed windows version Sep 09 19:10:56 ha Sep 09 19:11:42 DocScrutinizer, less so these days. Sep 09 19:13:42 android on n900 <3 Sep 09 19:14:04 midas_, what's the point? Sep 09 19:14:09 nooooo, winmoob7 on N900 ftw :-P Sep 09 19:14:21 GAN900: it's faster than maemo? Sep 09 19:14:25 I mean, if you want Android, spend 50% less and get Android. Sep 09 19:14:33 exactly" Sep 09 19:14:34 Who cares? Sep 09 19:14:39 lol Sep 09 19:14:42 It's certainly not more capable Sep 09 19:14:45 and Android has CDMA hardware Sep 09 19:14:49 and more RAM Sep 09 19:14:51 It doesn't do 3D. Sep 09 19:15:01 neither does N900 as far as I'm concerned Sep 09 19:15:27 mine looks rather 3-dimensional X-P Sep 09 19:15:39 fact :P Sep 09 19:18:27 GAN900: Android is the iOS of the poor Sep 09 19:18:43 lol Sep 09 19:18:45 actually nitdroid is about the most pointless project I ever heard about Sep 09 19:18:53 DocScrutinizer: pfft Sep 09 19:19:01 you've never done something just because you can? Sep 09 19:19:03 Hi all Sep 09 19:19:42 Question about behaviour video calls on googletalk ... Sep 09 19:19:53 DocScrutinizer: why?

Sep 09 19:20:49 lolloo, you are welcome Sep 09 19:20:56 sound calls and video calls don't work any more since google launched the linux plugin of googletalk :/ Sep 09 19:22:18 DocScrutinizer: just think of the bragging points they get for having a handheld that can run Maemo, or Android, or Gentoo Sep 09 19:22:45 * luke-jr ponders if Maemo can be shoved into an OpenVZ VE Sep 09 19:25:33 damn, for bragging get a prada phone, or a Rolex watch Sep 09 19:26:56 :P Sep 09 19:28:10 good evening Sep 09 19:28:40 sounds to me like somebody buying a ferrari and then pondering how to plow the acres with it Sep 09 19:30:07 * DocScrutinizer waves - RL can't be more puzzling Sep 09 19:31:39 guys how do i load maemo notify plug-in for xchat?

Sep 09 20:34:37 hey do you guys know if when i do a build, and it doesn't include some required files in the .tar.gz file, during the "make install" step, so i have to manually copy a few things around every time... well how can i fix that? it's a bunch of stuff in the /debian folder, and one file from the /doc Sep 09 20:43:11 GAN900, oi! I used to represent that comment Sep 09 20:43:32 I have actually been presenting myself much better recently :) Sep 09 20:44:44 anyone ever had the problem that the camera of an n900 is not saving pictures anymore? Sep 09 20:46:20 do you have it set to video? Sep 09 20:46:26 nope Sep 09 20:46:33 double checked that :) Sep 09 20:46:39 that was the only time it didnt save pics for me Sep 09 20:48:12 is the fs where it saves to full? Sep 09 20:49:35 nope Sep 09 20:49:38 im doing an fsck now Sep 09 20:50:38 hmm clean Sep 09 20:51:21 wow Sep 09 20:51:26 now the images magically appeared, wtf Sep 09 20:51:28 sorry for the noise Sep 09 20:53:17 it's okay, the silence was deafening Sep 09 20:53:52 * noobmonk3y squeals ..........

Sep 09 20:57:05 he disconnected Sep 09 20:57:42 ahh no they wont be Sep 09 20:57:48 pics are datestamped Sep 09 20:58:10 as in use the date on the filename with a suffix Sep 09 20:58:32 yeah that's good. probalby wouldn't overwrite anyways, just crash, like everything else Sep 09 20:59:45 :| Sep 09 21:00:47 How do I find out which packages depend ona given package? Sep 09 21:01:06 reverse depends Sep 09 21:01:17 in apt-cache ummm possible showpkg Sep 09 21:01:23 apt-cache showpkg Sep 09 21:04:15 thanksss Sep 09 21:04:25 somebody slipped perl-base onto the device Sep 09 21:04:29 I wonder who...

Sep 09 21:19:43 Hello, do you know how long flashing a N900 is supposed to take ? Sep 09 21:20:37 xtophe, IIRC, minutes Sep 09 21:21:13 emmc or combined? Sep 09 21:21:22 jacekowski: both Sep 09 21:21:27 xtophe: around a minute. Sep 09 21:22:00 hmm been 12 already Sep 09 21:22:08 so i do sth wrong Sep 09 21:22:11 is it flashing? Sep 09 21:22:18 or does it say waiting Sep 09 21:22:42 it say waiting Sep 09 21:22:47 then its not flashing Sep 09 21:22:49 then it's not flashing Sep 09 21:22:49 * xtophe should learn to read Sep 09 21:23:01 ~flashing Sep 09 21:23:01 i heard flashing is http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_tablet_firmware Sep 09 21:23:09 RTFM Sep 09 21:25:25 * zap heard 'flashing' means turning on and off Sep 09 21:25:59 no, flashing is actually showing your privates Sep 09 21:26:07 http://www.gtspirit.com/2010/09/09/video-jeremy-clarkson-on-stig-gate-scandal/ <-- pretty interesting stuff Clarkson says Sep 09 21:26:10 hello all Sep 09 21:26:12 tits and stuff Sep 09 21:26:32 I'm having some serious issues with VOIP in my N900.. How can I figure out which codecs it's using? Sep 09 21:26:43 I recall seeing lists of INVITEs and so on on mailing lists, but I'm not sure how to generate that Sep 09 21:26:49 is there some kind of debug command? Sep 09 21:27:16 Anyhow, the essence of my problem is that I can't hear the other party at random intervals for ~5-100 seconds at a time Sep 09 21:27:21 it doesn't appear network related. Sep 09 21:27:30 and only happens with SIP, not skype or whatnot Sep 09 21:28:44 orangey: well, network is a relative thing, where is your SIP server based? Sep 09 21:28:54 US and I'm in canada Sep 09 21:29:03 rather, I actually think the server is canadian Sep 09 21:29:04 acanac Sep 09 21:29:05 orangey: anyway, /etc/stream-engine/gstcodecs.conf Sep 09 21:29:12 crashanddie: I've played with that Sep 09 21:29:22 however, even when I comment out all codecs, the problem still occurs Sep 09 21:29:28 even though I theoretically should hear nothing, right? Sep 09 21:29:32 I put id=-1 Sep 09 21:29:49 anyhow, there's someway to debug further I know.. I want to see what codec it's actually using Sep 09 21:30:03 well, you're most probably using PCMA Sep 09 21:30:07 considering that's what the N900 prefers Sep 09 21:30:34 basically, about SIP, "it depends" Sep 09 21:30:57 * noobmonk3y blinks Sep 09 21:31:01 * noobmonk3y looks @chadi Sep 09 21:31:03 if the server prefers ILBC, and their "preference setting" is higher than the N900's preference setting for PCMU, you'll use ILBC Sep 09 21:31:25 * noobmonk3y prods crashanddie Sep 09 21:31:49 hey healthcheck! long time no see :-) Sep 09 21:32:04 noobmonk3y: yes? Sep 09 21:32:07 hehehe :) real life got in the way :P hehe how are you doing? :) Sep 09 21:32:13 just saying hello crash Sep 09 21:32:21 orangey: the syslog should tell you more though Sep 09 21:32:29 crashanddie: where is the syslog? Sep 09 21:32:32 /var/log/syslog? Sep 09 21:32:40 you okay chadi? Sep 09 21:33:01 i'm currently trying to re-learn via the sdk to redo healthcheck :) hehehe Sep 09 21:33:21 redo it? Sep 09 21:33:25 I'm great Sep 09 21:33:31 yeah kinda, and add alot more :0 Sep 09 21:33:39 ie, constant update, and smoother screens Sep 09 21:33:47 lots more info to add too Sep 09 21:33:56 in my absence, had alot of extra info to add :P Sep 09 21:34:18 yeah lots of stuff on paper waiting to be implemented :P Sep 09 21:34:38 had about 40 emails in the last month with ideas and help :) - so as soon as i get back into the swing will give it a retry :) Sep 09 21:34:49 hehehe, yeah.... tis good to learn :0 Sep 09 21:35:15 rewrite it in c++ :P Sep 09 21:35:21 tis the aim :P Sep 09 21:35:31 trying to figure out ersbox, then to learn c++ - never done it : Sep 09 21:35:35 esbox* Sep 09 21:36:02 enjoy ;-) Sep 09 21:36:10 orangey: for the record, I'm a developer on a VoIP/SIP server. I mainly use ngrep to check out what's happening on the SIP port. Sep 09 21:36:14 but then python took me 2 weeks, b4 i had healthcheck going, so hoping c++ wont take too much longer :) Sep 09 21:36:20 (ngrep which IIRC isn't available on the N900) Sep 09 21:36:51 crash can you tell me what iirc means? heard it hundreds of time, just never understood it! Sep 09 21:36:53 :) Sep 09 21:37:01 if i recall correctly Sep 09 21:37:04 if i recall correctly Sep 09 21:37:07 ahaaaaaaa ty :) Sep 09 21:37:09 to both :) Sep 09 21:37:09 aha! tcpdump is the key Sep 09 21:37:13 heh Sep 09 21:37:41 orangey: if you have the time, just grab ngrep sources from debian-src, and compile it on the n900 Sep 09 21:37:47 orangey: shouldn't require too many dependencies Sep 09 21:37:50 but yes, back to healthcheck, the idea is now to rutn it into an actual application, not a "my first attempt" stuyle app Sep 09 21:37:59 turn* Sep 09 21:38:01 yikes Sep 09 21:38:05 stylee* Sep 09 21:38:09 why when tcpdump is already compiled? Sep 09 21:38:24 orangey: because ngrep is a lot nicer than tcpdump :P Sep 09 21:38:46 p.s. chadi, good to see you still on here :) :) Sep 09 21:38:48 crashanddie: godwilling, my relationship with tcpdump will be short Sep 09 21:38:55 crashanddie: just run tcpdump on n900 and pipe it to ngrep on PC :) Sep 09 21:39:02 * noobmonk3y slaps MohammadAG51 Sep 09 21:39:08 lindi-: *shudder* Sep 09 21:39:14 * noobmonk3y wscreams BACOn in lcuk's good ear Sep 09 21:39:18 noobmonk3y: good luck :) Sep 09 21:39:21 crashanddie: running some complex filtering as root is a bad idea anyway Sep 09 21:39:26 cheers :) Sep 09 21:39:37 lindi-: nice : ) Sep 09 21:39:44 speaking of which, what repository is tcpdump on? Sep 09 21:40:02 i can only find it in the garage Sep 09 21:40:11 lindi-: thanks, I need to be taught about security ;) Sep 09 21:40:26 aha. got it Sep 09 21:40:30 http://maemo.org/packages/view/tcpdump/ Sep 09 21:41:45 orangey: sip on N900 is very buggy Sep 09 21:41:58 orangey: See bug #10388 Sep 09 21:42:00 Bug https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10388 Choppy audio in SIP conversation, WLAN power save problem? Sep 09 21:42:38 orangey: I have tried all sort of codecs with both asterisk and freeswitch servers and have failed. Sep 09 21:43:32 even Nokia/Collabora devs have acknowledged (taken sip traces off my setup) the bug, but until now there has been no fix. Sep 09 21:44:02 trumee: did disabling power saving on wlan help? Sep 09 21:44:06 orangey: not suprised that sip isnt working for you Sep 09 21:44:10 orangey: no, did not help Sep 09 21:44:18 weird Sep 09 21:44:19 i tried even usb networking! Sep 09 21:44:23 I'm having no issues with SIP Sep 09 21:44:23 trumee: strange. Sep 09 21:44:27 and that also gave me choppy audio Sep 09 21:44:31 crashanddie: who's your provider? Sep 09 21:44:38 trumee: I don't have choppy audio *generally* Sep 09 21:44:42 * RST38h cackles evilly Sep 09 21:44:44 Skype works beautifully Sep 09 21:44:49 most SIP works fine Sep 09 21:44:52 orangey: well... I'm a dev... I have my own servers Sep 09 21:45:07 crashanddie: what sip software are you running btw? Sep 09 21:45:10 crashanddie: so am i. run my own * server. Sep 09 21:45:12 devs do not have their own servers, admins do =) Sep 09 21:45:14 but there are a few completely predictable numbers that cause no end of problems Sep 09 21:45:20 crashanddie: ah. Sep 09 21:45:23 trumee: ours is a bit more advanced than * Sep 09 21:45:31 heck, I have my own audiocodes and everything Sep 09 21:46:18 orangey: collabora dev said that there is bug is gstreamer jitter library on N900 Sep 09 21:46:27 I haven't used my ISP's SIP a lot, but didn't notice anything strange there either Sep 09 21:46:34 trumee: any fix at all? Sep 09 21:46:43 trumee: like I said, mostly it works with most people even on SIP Sep 09 21:46:49 which leads me to believe it's a codec problem Sep 09 21:46:55 orangey: no there is no fix yet :( Sep 09 21:47:26 orangey: i have been pushing the dev to do something about it but seems its not in the priority list at the moment. Sep 09 21:47:54 orangey: funny thing is the meego is going to carry the same bug since it uses the same libraries Sep 09 21:48:09 so i would stay away from meego until that bug is fixed. Sep 09 21:48:43 crashanddie: i am more than happy for you to call an extension of my freeswitch server and listen to an audio book Sep 09 21:48:57 crashanddie: it gets choppy few minutes into the call. Sep 09 21:49:03 audio book? Sep 09 21:49:19 trumee: what timezone are you in? Sep 09 21:49:22 crashanddie: yes, something i have set on auto-pickup. Sep 09 21:49:26 crashanddie: BST Sep 09 21:49:35 trumee: I'll give you a buzz tomorrow morning then Sep 09 21:50:13 trumee: I could even set up a couple of calls and get some accurate measurements if I have the time... Sep 09 21:50:14 crashanddie: nah!, i will be away to work. I am on irc only on BST evenings. Sep 09 21:50:25 hmm. Sep 09 21:50:36 I'm not seeing any INVITE packets Sep 09 21:50:38 yeah, and I don't intend to do SIP troubleshooting at 15 minutes to midnight :P Sep 09 21:50:40 crashanddie: however, i can gibe you the login details and you can do the testing in my absence Sep 09 21:50:46 does tcpdump show the actual packets, or just that a packet went through? Sep 09 21:51:52 crashanddie: want to give me an email or want the setting on a private chat? Sep 09 21:52:23 honestly, after this last depressing run, I feel that it may be time to abandon the n900 Sep 09 21:52:42 though it would pain me to use any non-free tool Sep 09 21:52:46 nooo :( Sep 09 21:52:55 I know. Sep 09 21:53:05 it's multifactorial, though - there's almost no AWS in canada Sep 09 21:53:11 so I'm using GPRS with this damned thing Sep 09 21:53:23 plus the VOIP issues Sep 09 21:53:34 and the obvious and widely known lack of apps Sep 09 21:53:41 any one is surmountable Sep 09 21:54:15 orangey: i can feel your pain. i cant throw away my N95 because of this voip bug Sep 09 21:54:29 trumee: *sigh* Sep 09 21:54:39 orangey: i went into coma for some time when i couldnt get sip to work reliably :( Sep 09 21:54:58 trumee: honestly, the worst part is that Nokia released a non-maemo phone after the n900 Sep 09 21:55:07 i bought two N900, one for myself and one for wife hoping to do sip calls. and now they are both a waste Sep 09 21:55:09 That's enough whining for me Sep 09 21:55:25 trumee: maybe salvage it by getting a SIP account elsewhere Sep 09 21:55:28 trumee: e.g., callcentric Sep 09 21:55:35 orangey: the same server works beautifully with N95 Sep 09 21:55:39 trumee: callcentric + n900 worked *perfectly* for me Sep 09 21:55:53 trumee: when you're playing with maemo, YOU have to be fixed, not the problem Sep 09 21:56:07 * orangey cries Sep 09 21:56:26 orangey: i run my own * server and have remote extensions given to family members. they have become used to simple phone numbers. i cant ask them to go back to sip isps. Sep 09 21:56:50 trumee: what's the setup? Sep 09 21:56:59 trumee do you interact with the POTS system at all? Sep 09 21:57:06 orangey: * server connected to couple of remote sip extensions Sep 09 21:57:10 no POTS at all. Sep 09 21:57:17 that would be sweet Sep 09 21:57:34 i have set of Linksys PAP2/SPA3102 with family members Sep 09 21:57:42 you have basically a bat phone Sep 09 21:57:49 they do one line for you and one for the rest of the world Sep 09 21:57:52 * DocScrutinizer yaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaawns Sep 09 21:58:22 and everybody has simple phone number. i hate ISP phone number, usually they are pretty long. Sep 09 21:58:29 giraffe time again? Sep 09 21:58:45 trumee: what about rerouting? Sep 09 21:58:54 orangey: what do you mean? Sep 09 21:59:08 trumee: forward callcentric to your asterix box Sep 09 21:59:12 see if that doesn't solve your problem Sep 09 21:59:38 it sounds like it shouldn't, but such trickery has occasionally resolved issues for me Sep 09 21:59:45 it's MOO time Sep 09 21:59:52 masters of orion? Sep 09 22:00:05 orangey: N900<>callcentric<>asterisk<>remote extensions? Sep 09 22:00:06 ~moo Sep 09 22:00:07 * infobot mooooooooo! I am cow, hear me moo, I weigh twice as much as you. I am cow, eating grass, methane gas comes out my ass Sep 09 22:00:21 trumee: right. Sep 09 22:00:32 Moo? Sep 09 22:01:06 trumee: first make sure everything works N900 <>callcentric <> N900 Sep 09 22:01:09 since you have 2 around Sep 09 22:01:13 there's your video + audio Sep 09 22:01:23 once that's done, add the asterisk piece Sep 09 22:01:35 orangey: could try that. but my impression is that Sip to Sip calls on N900 are a fail. If i introduce a PSTN in between then it is ok, ie N900<>*<>ISP<>PSTN Sep 09 22:01:49 yeah, plus some mixedpickles Sep 09 22:02:45 http://blogs.arm.com/smart-mobile-devices/watts-the-limit-for-smart-mobile-devices-meet-the-cortexa15/ hmm Sep 09 22:02:46 BS there's no such thing like SIP<>PSTN Sep 09 22:02:59 DocScrutinizer: ? Sep 09 22:03:03 SIP by definition needs a SIP farend to talk to Sep 09 22:03:31 if you want to call PSTN via SIP, then you need to use a gateway Sep 09 22:03:54 DocScrutinizer: ok. ISP<>Gateway<>PSTN, happy? Sep 09 22:04:04 yeah, a tad better Sep 09 22:05:06 doesnt solve my problem though. Not sure why Nokia went for a new sipstack when the Symbian one was working so well. Sep 09 22:05:36 N95 sipstack is amazing. It does g729 so well. With N900, g729 eats up 55% cpu. Sep 09 22:06:53 trumee: I think that's the problem Sep 09 22:06:54 DocScrutinizer: maybe once your port twinkle to qt4, then all will be ok :p Sep 09 22:07:10 trumee: the person I'm trying to talk to who I have serious issues with is on the same provider (acanac), so we're probably having end-to-end SIP Sep 09 22:07:18 trumee: Sofia isn't new Sep 09 22:07:19 whereas everybody else is via PSTN Sep 09 22:07:23 orangey: pcmu consumes much less cpu, but still have the same choppyness. Sep 09 22:07:27 has anyone tried Milkytracker on their N900? Sep 09 22:08:09 luke-jr: not sure where the problem is a)Sofia or b)gstreamer/pulse-audio Sep 09 22:08:17 i actually wondered if it was some network issue and made my ISP add g729 to my account Sep 09 22:08:26 trumee: have you tried the new pulseaudio? Sep 09 22:08:58 orangey: no i havent. have you seen the choppiness thread on tmo. Sep 09 22:09:08 http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=60788 Sep 09 22:09:15 trumee: which one? I've read through so many choppiness threads Sep 09 22:09:27 my problem isn't choppiness. it's complete silence for 10-100 seconds at a time Sep 09 22:09:50 orangey: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=54039 Sep 09 22:10:10 orangey: http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=811368&postcount=25 Sep 09 22:10:35 orangey: i asked the guy above to test against my freeswitch server and his N900 was choppy. Sep 09 22:11:11 he is doing calls over his internal network only, no wonder he is not facing major issues. Sep 09 22:11:30 no issues here Sep 09 22:11:52 luke-jr: iirc you tested with my freeswitch and it was choppy :) Sep 09 22:12:14 IIRC it wasn't. Sep 09 22:12:38 didn't timeless and I hold a 30+ minute long convo over it? Sep 09 22:12:57 luke-jr: timeless said there was choppines? Sep 09 22:13:08 yeah, maybe once every 5-10 minutes Sep 09 22:13:29 luke-jr: the server is my primary telephone line and trust me i use it daily :) Sep 09 22:13:41 in any case, my own PBX works fine Sep 09 22:14:27 luke-jr: if you are happy to create an extension then i can hook up the audio-book to your system. you can play with it as long as you can. Sep 09 22:14:43 … Sep 09 22:14:49 trumee Sep 09 22:14:50 try this thing Sep 09 22:14:56 hook up a bluetooth and make the same call Sep 09 22:15:16 orangey: you think that will help? Sep 09 22:15:25 trumee: It does for me Sep 09 22:15:37 trumee: in fact, it eliminates the problem completely Sep 09 22:15:50 which now that I think of it points more to PA instead of a codec issue Sep 09 22:18:02 orangey: ok. i am going to try that out. got to go now. Sep 09 22:18:22 luke-jr: think about giving me an extension. Sep 09 22:18:25 gn all Sep 09 22:21:27 hmm, porting twinkle sounds tempting, but alas twinkle isn't qt4-ready Sep 09 22:21:41 hmm, package manager keeps saying theres no free space Sep 09 22:21:45 but apt-get has no problem Sep 09 22:21:46 otherwise it's be a walk in the park Sep 09 22:21:50 and everything has pleanty of free space Sep 09 22:22:33 check HAM logs Sep 09 22:22:47 where are they? Sep 09 22:22:56 menu - log ? Sep 09 22:23:44 got it Sep 09 22:27:46 DocScrutinizer, looks like HAM is being stupid Sep 09 22:27:50 it says: Sep 09 22:27:58 that all but new Sep 09 22:28:04 apt-worker: You don't have enough free space in /home Sep 09 22:28:07 but earlier it says: Sep 09 22:28:28 apt-worker: free space (/home/) = 2113748992 Sep 09 22:28:37 required disk space: 266394 Sep 09 22:28:51 weird Sep 09 22:28:53 * satmd makes 485 pieces out of his birthday cake and shares his happy day :) Sep 09 22:29:08 cheers satmd Sep 09 22:29:20 and i can use apt-get and its fine :\ Sep 09 22:29:22 how weird Sep 09 22:29:31 strace?

Sep 09 22:30:31 goddamn, i fail at pointers. segfault :| Sep 09 22:40:37 ok, so I'm trying to test out the assumption that it's actually a performance issue Sep 09 22:41:02 but when I install Titan's kernel (kernel-power-settings), I can no longer see my WLAN, though others show Sep 09 22:41:56 any thoughts? Sep 09 22:42:12 (I CAN see other WLANs) Sep 09 23:09:11 Is there a way to stop the app manager from looking for updates everytime i connect to some network? Sep 09 23:09:42 teilzeitstudent, you can set the time between checks Sep 09 23:09:57 you will have to search, its a common question and there are answers Sep 09 23:11:11 'kay.. ty.

I guess 2,147,483,647 minutes is as good as never. Sep 09 23:15:50 :D Sep 09 23:16:59 i just set it to a year Sep 09 23:17:45 I set it to once every decade. Sep 09 23:17:50 Don't want it to get too out of date. Sep 09 23:17:58 :p Sep 09 23:18:41 hmm. what will smartphones look like in 10 years Sep 09 23:19:16 * lcuk has a few ideas Sep 09 23:20:43 well, I do too but none of them are too nice. shouldnt have read 1984 the other day :< Sep 09 23:22:01 1984 is awesome Sep 09 23:22:25 was Sep 09 23:22:58 no, the book Sep 09 23:23:07 the book is still awesome Sep 09 23:24:56 well soon google will have cameras outside of our house and inside, implanted in those internet-tv boxes. Sep 09 23:26:06 pff Sep 09 23:26:13 google will scan our brain Sep 09 23:28:16 and saying "google sucks" in your living room will automatically increase the pageranking of your embarassing party pictures from when you where young. Sep 09 23:28:50 anybody here on osx? this might be a fun game for maemo Sep 09 23:29:13 me Sep 09 23:29:18 but not atm Sep 09 23:29:33 teilzeitstudent: i dunno, i'd have to say i'd expect that sooner of apple Sep 09 23:29:54 everyone will have just one phone, and they all look the same Sep 09 23:30:20 your only allowed to use it as they deem acceptable, etc Sep 09 23:30:48 http://www.ambrosiasw.com/games/sketchfighter/ kerio Sep 09 23:31:03 Well, google is Oceania, apple is Eurasia and microsoft is Eastasia. So.. what does it really matter :P Sep 09 23:31:28 pupnik: bookmarked, will try it Sep 09 23:31:39 teilzeitstudent: omg they're the same! Sep 09 23:31:51 ieatlint, noo. there will always be room for individualisation. have that one ringtone noone else has and be free! Sep 09 23:32:16 or did you mean that we don't know if 2 out of 3 actually exist? Sep 09 23:33:03 except that ringtone wasn't free Sep 09 23:33:05 it cost you money Sep 09 23:33:15 of course it will. what do you expect Sep 09 23:33:38 freedom is never free Sep 09 23:33:46 i expect freedom not to be a commercial choice Sep 09 23:39:02 fcamera Sep 09 23:39:11 It's dying on startup Sep 09 23:39:13 any clues? Sep 09 23:39:26 start it from xterm and watch the messages Sep 09 23:39:35 most likely it's missing something Sep 09 23:39:46 yeah - last lines were about LED Sep 09 23:44:19 which app on the n900 can do phone call recording again? Sep 09 23:45:01 Recorder? Sep 09 23:47:30 thanks, so obvious, yet so hard to remember... :) Sep 09 23:47:44 its in the form of a desktop widget, that lil red curved square ( i wish it was bigger ) .. its a cute widget though Sep 09 23:51:29 ah, "recaller"? Sep 09 23:51:43 mine is called Recorder Sep 09 23:51:43 it said it has recorded, but can't find the recorded file. Sep 09 23:51:54 I think it was preinstalled Sep 09 23:52:13 weird, i don't have that widget. Sep 09 23:52:50 PR1.2? Sep 09 23:53:00 and it's not a widget Sep 09 23:53:01 it's an app Sep 09 23:53:04 like you asked for Sep 09 23:53:05 wait, there is it, the recorded file Sep 09 23:53:14 yeah, 1.2, but it's called "recaller" in the widget list. Sep 09 23:53:26 it's not a widget Sep 09 23:53:44 my "recorder" is an app. Sep 09 23:53:45 yeah Sep 09 23:53:59 and what n900-space said is a widget, which is "recaller". Sep 09 23:54:08 recaller seems to have recoreded better quality ones. Sep 09 23:54:12 O.o Sep 09 23:54:13 anyway, thanks both. Sep 09 23:56:40 oh sorry i forget the names usually :) Sep 09 23:56:56 SpeedEvil: fcam is brainfsckd as it seems to access LP5523 directly instead of going for mce pattern Sep 09 23:57:06 hmm Sep 09 23:57:34 strace Sep 09 23:58:55 e.g. fcam is known to mess up LP5523 so pretty thoroughly you not only see mce segfault but also need to *remove battery* to reset the led controller LP5523 Sep 09 23:59:17 yeah - 'led blinker device' -> seg Sep 09 23:59:30 noobs Sep 10 00:01:06 though the last call is actually to /dev/fb1 Sep 10 00:01:10 wtf is so damn hard to sed a new pattern into mce.ini and call that via mce dbus call like every proper app does? Sep 10 00:02:26 lol, local commuter train has massive delays because someone decided to drive their car down the train tracks Sep 10 00:07:19 ieatlint: that's not such a bad idea actually... assuming the law allows that :) Sep 10 00:07:58 seeing the trains are always delayed anyway... Sep 10 00:08:05 it does not, and the car did not get far before getting stuck Sep 10 00:08:12 mmm half pound of grass fed beef and 2 free range chicken eggs for dinner Sep 10 00:08:13 god DAMN Sep 10 00:08:17 ieatlint: hahahahahaha Sep 10 00:08:20 cooked in butter and coconut oil Sep 10 00:08:25 nom. nom. NOM. Sep 10 00:08:41 i'd probably not be laughing if i had to take the train :) Sep 10 00:08:44 thankfully, i don't Sep 10 00:09:47 i do, but i assume it's not the same country. Sep 10 00:10:09 probably not Sep 10 00:10:40 http://sfist.com/2010/09/09/whats_going_on_here_train_wannabe.php has a picture of the genius stuck on the tracks Sep 10 00:38:36 hello guys,.. I got the phone and I have to say my battery life is horrible. What do you to improve your battery life? Sep 10 00:39:04 I turned the screen brightness down, don't use a magnetic pouch, etc...all the standard stuff Sep 10 00:39:21 put on the autoconnection manager as well Sep 10 00:39:27 What do you use the phone for? Sep 10 00:39:43 3g active internet connections are bad. Sep 10 00:39:59 well I have wifi at home and univ. so it is quite common it will be online (SKype/Gtalk) Sep 10 00:40:02 also Sep 10 00:40:04 http://wiki.maemo.org/N900_Hardware_Power_Consumption Though I need to polish Sep 10 00:40:19 If you have powersaving enabled and working it does not use significant power Sep 10 00:40:19 I must use 3G because WIND does not have 2G Sep 10 00:40:29 wlan that is Sep 10 00:40:37 I am pretty sure it's Power savings is enabled on Wlan Sep 10 00:40:51 yes it is Sep 10 00:40:52 Some wlan routers do not peoperly supppport it, and cause it to use more power. Sep 10 00:41:11 quanttrom: define horrible Sep 10 00:44:01 kk removed from charger at 9:45 AM Sep 10 00:44:25 using 3G but no data, some calls totalling maybe 10 mins Sep 10 00:44:49 wifi on for 4-5 hours Sep 10 00:45:00 20-30 mins of internet radio Sep 10 00:45:26 and overall the phone has been on for ~10 hours Sep 10 00:45:29 battery is dead Sep 10 00:45:48 how many im/skype/sip accounts? Sep 10 00:45:55 skype + gtalk Sep 10 00:46:00 so 2 Sep 10 00:46:04 sounds about right Sep 10 00:46:19 haha maybe my expectations were a little too high :) Sep 10 00:46:35 shutdown skype, it eats about 25-75% bat/day Sep 10 00:46:54 depends on how well skype network is doing that day Sep 10 00:47:27 hm interesting Sep 10 00:47:37 gtalk uses less, on average? Sep 10 00:47:45 streaming audio is always hoggy too Sep 10 00:48:24 gtalk I found uses 15-20%/day (I can't remember if I was counting a day as 24 hours or 18, but anyways) Sep 10 00:48:57 that was idle and on wifi were powersavings worked Sep 10 00:54:37 oh, also I have it set to search for Wi-Fi connection every 30 mins. is that a power hog based on ur experience? Sep 10 00:56:23 quanttrom: to give you an idea, no calls, maybe 1.5 hours of mp3 playing and IM and an idle phone, with good 3g coverage I have over 50% at night. Start using the phone, say an hour of web browsing, talking on im several times through the day. Basically using it as a computer replacement I get about 10 hours. Sep 10 00:56:46 quanttrom: no, I have mine at 5 or 10 mins Sep 10 00:57:01 alright thanks asj Sep 10 00:57:09 I think I'll go purchase a car charger now Sep 10 00:59:59 asj: I do the same and get a day out of the battery which is about 7 months old Sep 10 01:00:48 asj: and I leave about 6 applications running all the time to save time when i want to do some quick work in a bus or whatever Sep 10 01:01:02 jpinx-eeepc: yeah, same here Sep 10 01:01:16 and wifi searches at 5 mins Sep 10 01:01:34 * jpinx-eeepc can't afford data over the mobile network Sep 10 01:02:00 * jpinx-eeepc needs a better wep cracker ;) Sep 10 01:02:03 quanttrom: I would start with killing skype for a day and see how you go anyways. Oh, and set it to 3g only so it doesn't search edge contantly. There's a nice 3g switcher app Sep 10 01:02:38 asj: I'll kill skype and gtalk and see how that goes. also, my phone is set to 3G only from the settings. That's my only option Sep 10 01:02:43 ah - skype is probably your bogey quanttrom - it is a real resource-hog Sep 10 01:03:14 even when it is sitting in the background it is churning away and munching bandwidth ;) Sep 10 01:03:24 oh, and I have widgets running like crazy, omweather,fb,comic, etc Sep 10 01:04:35 asj: I have debian running in a chroot for irssi and bitlbee ;) Sep 10 01:05:40 skype wil do it Sep 10 01:05:46 and when I get to my "desk" I plug it into the usb on this eeepc and ssh/sshfs itno it for the bigger screen and kbd, but all the "stuff" is in the n900 Sep 10 01:05:48 pretty much alone - as I understand it Sep 10 01:06:21 so my n900 really*is* my computer now :) Sep 10 01:07:59 anyone here uses scim on their n900? Sep 10 01:08:22 or i actually meant mscim. Sep 10 01:14:42 during battery trials on pr1.2 with skype (which is much better than 1.0/1.1) it was doing well, about 25% down by 6pm, then skype had some network issue and you could see cpu time jump, network activity jump and the batt was dead by 10pm Sep 10 01:28:01 skype is p2p Sep 10 01:28:17 If you are routing others traffic in any way - it uses stupid power Sep 10 01:32:04 stupid question, but can you make VoIP through gtalk ? Sep 10 01:32:18 'cos I've never even thought about that until I just read you guys talking about it Sep 10 01:32:40 i think you can do video calls too Sep 10 01:32:56 geez... that's what I get for lazyness to try things Sep 10 01:33:14 Sc0rpius: gtalk 2 gtalk voip only at the moment though Sep 10 01:33:17 I didn't even know gtalk had video calls, I know Skype does, 'cos I use it heavily on my desktop Sep 10 01:33:22 no calling phone numbers Sep 10 01:33:39 alas, I didn't know gtalk could call phone numbers either (even on a desktop) Sep 10 01:33:47 wow Skype brainwashed me Sep 10 01:34:21 it can't exactly -- it can in the US from gmail only, not even the official gtalk apps support phone calls yet Sep 10 01:34:32 oh ok Sep 10 01:34:45 I think I read about it in digg Sep 10 01:35:08 yeah, google voice support in gmail.. bizarrely implemented Sep 10 01:35:41 i can make phone calls from gmail, but not google voice? weird shit Sep 10 01:37:23 what is the difference between google voice and making phone calls Sep 10 01:37:59 you can forward txt to your gmail and use the gvoice in there to reply Sep 10 01:38:04 in gmail, with google voice, i can make and receive phone calls without having a phone Sep 10 01:38:16 google voice isn't a sip service though Sep 10 01:38:20 how can you receive phone calls Sep 10 01:38:38 http://www.google.com/chat/voice/ Sep 10 01:40:10 http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2010/08/call-phones-from-gmail.html for the official announcement and full details Sep 10 01:51:32 Hmm, ARM jumps from CortexA9 straight to CortexA15 Sep 10 02:00:59 it's 6x better, of course Sep 10 02:01:02 another question. I installed the Open SSH client + server and the "SSH Status and Switcher" that adds a button so u can turn the SSH server on and off Sep 10 02:01:26 I tried removing the S55ssh scripts from rc?.d but sshd is still started every time the phone boots up Sep 10 02:01:30 what am I doing wrong? Sep 10 02:04:42 could it be the because it's wired into upstart? Sep 10 02:17:19 thanks johnx , I'm used to the old sysv, just read up on upstart Sep 10 02:17:47 yeah me too Sep 10 02:18:00 it's even weirder since we're in this transition period where both appear to work Sep 10 02:37:08 somebody asked the same question in the forums Sep 10 02:37:14 I'll give 'em my..hack.. Sep 10 02:38:31 hi i cant login my google voice from n900 why? **** ENDING LOGGING AT Fri Sep 10 02:59:57 2010
