**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Feb 01 02:59:57 2011 Feb 01 06:39:19 just installed power kernel - now unable to scan/see any access points that I used to connect to ok Feb 01 06:39:46 but mobile hotspot works ok! - how can I get back to normal wifi access? Feb 01 07:52:40 * ieatlint stares in astonishment at this single line of code: QPointer _layout = new QVBoxLayout; Feb 01 07:57:20 ieatlint: What about it? Feb 01 08:00:36 mooo Feb 01 08:01:30 RobbieThe1st: not saying it's not valid, but to me it's a wtf, why not just use QVBoxLayout*? Feb 01 08:02:05 Have you tried replacing it with that and see if it works the same? Feb 01 08:02:40 no, but i see the entire use of that var, and there's nothing else odd about it Feb 01 08:03:06 except that it's the first time the original author declared a layout (or a widget) on the heap instead of the stack :( Feb 01 08:03:45 odd Feb 01 08:34:26 Morning, all Feb 01 08:34:36 moo Jaffa Feb 01 08:36:21 ieatlint: sorry, that's way beyond what I understand about friggin C++ Feb 01 08:38:10 maybe it's about type of _layout var, to be a generic Qpointer rather that a particular QVBoxLayout ? Feb 01 08:38:51 err QVBoxLayout* Feb 01 08:40:02 or maybe the simple C style deref pointervar* semantics doesn't work for Qobjects and their Qpointers? Feb 01 08:42:14 I.E. QVBoxLayout* is a simple C pointer, not a QPointer ? Feb 01 08:42:39 meh, nevermind Feb 01 08:42:51 yeah, qvboxlayout* is just like the c equiv Feb 01 08:43:07 qpointer, in my semi-limited understanding, is equiv to gpointer Feb 01 08:43:53 "A guarded pointer, QPointer, behaves like a normal C++ pointer T *, except that it is automatically set to 0 when the referenced object is destroyed (unlike normal C++ pointers, which become "dangling pointers" in such cases). T must be a subclass of QObject" Feb 01 08:44:13 heh, ok, so there is potential for that form being useful Feb 01 08:44:15 so that's it :-D Feb 01 08:44:25 but it still makes no sense in this context :P Feb 01 08:46:10 to give an idea, the main() function for this builds 95% of the gui itself, with all widgets are on the heap (and qt follows a similar parent-child relationship as gtk, so that's a big no-no) Feb 01 09:00:48 ieatlint: I know what's heap and stack, but I miss to follow your hidden rationale about widgets living in either of those Feb 01 09:03:05 ah, well if you care, it a hierarchy.... eg, you have a window widget, so you place a box in it, and then a label in the box. then you destroy the window, so it destroys it's child (the box), which destroys its child, and so forth Feb 01 09:03:22 memory management Feb 01 09:03:51 fine, so what's the problem with heap here? Feb 01 09:05:12 nothing, heap is mandatory... if you put something from the stack on there, the parent will try to free it at some point Feb 01 09:05:18 and that's a segfault Feb 01 09:05:26 as long as each object's ~destructor is called correctly I don't see the problem Feb 01 09:05:43 bad programmers get away with it sometimes because simple guis don't destroy objects until you exit Feb 01 09:06:01 but if you've ever had a gui app (linux or windows) that crashes when you quit... Feb 01 09:06:07 oh yeah, obviously objects won't love to live on stack Feb 01 09:07:45 eh, it can be more dangerous than leaking a bit of memory Feb 01 09:10:20 sure, I guess ~destructor would try to give the (stack!) memory back to heap manager, and when this one would accept it then it occasionally gets reallocated or whatever - you mustn't do this Feb 01 09:11:20 that's why you create objects with new() (=heap), rather than instantiating a simple new var (=stack) Feb 01 09:11:20 doesn't ever accept it.. will always segfault Feb 01 09:12:20 yeah, and when you want to confuse new programmers, you use alloca() Feb 01 09:12:21 but pointers to objects can live on stack, except if they are objects themselves ;-P Feb 01 09:14:11 ooh, I ***love*** C++ Feb 01 09:14:14 i only recently learnt of alloca(), the way to make variably-sized arrays on the stack without breaking c89 rules Feb 01 09:14:24 Feb 01 09:15:13 heh, yeah, and i suck at c++ :( Feb 01 09:15:29 i'm on the stage defined as "oh, it's like c, but with classes!" Feb 01 09:15:47 same here Feb 01 09:17:25 that's why I found it rather funny when MohammadAG asked how to embed c into c++ - though it's maybe a valid question if only I understood enough of c++ Feb 01 09:17:45 it is, i do it Feb 01 09:18:33 for me a c++ code is 60..90% plain c, with a few special extensions Feb 01 09:18:54 so I think you don't need any special embedding Feb 01 09:18:57 to use c in c++, you do: extern "C" { see? ignorant here Feb 01 09:19:42 and it's common to then put that in a preprocessor of "#ifdef __cplusplus" Feb 01 09:19:55 * DocScrutinizer waves and heads off for breakfast out Feb 01 09:19:58 so that you can use the same code for regular c then without ever running into issue Feb 01 09:20:13 enjoy :) Feb 01 09:22:25 can someone tell me where does maemo store wifi passowrd ? Feb 01 09:22:53 gconf Feb 01 09:23:27 how to get it ? Feb 01 09:24:29 search on the forums/wiki for that enumerating a list of possible gconf settings Feb 01 09:24:38 mhm Feb 01 09:24:39 look around in /home/user/.gconf perhaps Feb 01 09:25:24 or maybe that's .config, hehe Feb 01 09:28:01 that reminds me, any of you guys noticed that under gconf, it has said that the warranty is labelled as invalid? Feb 01 09:44:57 how does one install meego with a non-standard kernel on the n900? Feb 01 09:45:47 Toadpole, you start by asking in #meego or #meego-arm, but in general the meego wiki pages explain differentiation and building images with kernel adaptions included Feb 01 09:46:46 the official team are currently looking at (afaik) the .37 kernel and putting the nice pvr/pm modules and stuff in Feb 01 09:47:17 great, thanks lcuk Feb 01 09:50:06 where can I go for help/information on a wifi problem with the power users kernel for the n900 ?? Feb 01 09:50:59 whats the problem? Feb 01 09:51:55 no managed mode wifi, but works ok with mobile-hotspot. flash old kernel back and can connect to AP again Feb 01 09:52:18 cant see what problem is Feb 01 10:03:25 Well. Moo. Feb 01 10:21:22 Ah, technology! http://qdb.us/305451 Feb 01 10:48:06 kerio: ping Feb 01 10:51:06 pong? Feb 01 10:52:06 kerio: you are good with Python, right? Feb 01 10:52:44 kinda Feb 01 10:52:45 why? Feb 01 10:52:57 I need some help regarding a Python thing Feb 01 10:54:18 go right ahead Feb 01 10:58:32 kerio: pm'd you Feb 01 11:16:29 soltys: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=68063 [on popular demand] recover key/passphrase of WLAN Feb 01 11:37:13 DocScrutinizer: thanks Feb 01 11:37:33 click thanks on wiki ;-D Feb 01 11:42:40 hrm, anyone noticed the media player swapping left and right audio channels for no apparent reason? Feb 01 11:45:18 hard to tell. You need to check the whole chain, esp your headset etc Feb 01 11:46:11 attaching a weak 1.5V battery to tip and base of headphone jack will make the real left earpiece click Feb 01 11:47:20 then you need a media file (.wav, .mp3) that's definitely correct with test signals' assignment to channels Feb 01 11:49:06 haltdef: I've seen ~50% of headphones having wrong channel assignment Feb 01 11:49:46 that's the thing, it's not a permanent thing, it just decides to change them around on its own Feb 01 11:50:10 seems esp cheap chinese brands do not care at all. Often there's no labels or marks whatsoever for left and right, leaving it up to your guess what's the correct orientation Feb 01 11:50:52 decent pair of sony earphones, happens on every other earphones I've tried too Feb 01 11:51:03 haltdef: errm, what? You say mediaplayer is swapping channels for the very same .mp3, from one playback to next? Feb 01 11:51:42 different mp3s, different times Feb 01 11:52:20 I'd accuse the .mp3 to be inverse stereo Feb 01 11:53:07 even if it sounds normal most of the time but swaps over what seems to be randomly? only on the n900? Feb 01 11:53:29 why do you assume .mp3 to be correct and mediaplayer to do nonsense? Feb 01 11:53:39 because the mp3 is fine everywhere else Feb 01 11:53:57 I change track and channels are still swapped Feb 01 11:54:45 mediaplayer doesn't do anything to play music Feb 01 11:54:49 mafw's playing everything Feb 01 11:55:04 err, as long as you don't have a single known good test mp3 file to select for playback every time you suspect something fishy, I'd not follow up on this report Feb 01 11:56:11 I hear you, will grab a left/right test mp3 from somewhere Feb 01 11:56:41 please ping me with your results and findings Feb 01 11:57:35 I'd not deny possibility of a bug in PA or even ALSA, maybe regarding hw codec/mixer setup or sth Feb 01 11:58:00 noticed the n900 making my music sound different a while ago, only hit me last week the stereo channels were getting swapped :P Feb 01 11:58:04 there are several places where you could swap channels Feb 01 11:58:11 mm Feb 01 11:58:29 hi there Feb 01 11:58:45 is it possible to port cmake 2.8 to maemo ? Feb 01 12:00:54 ~wtf mm Feb 01 12:00:55 Gee... I don't know what mm means... Feb 01 12:01:00 ~mm Feb 01 12:01:01 Shared Memory Library. URL: http://www.engelschall.com/sw/mm/ Feb 01 12:02:29 got a wav on n900 with a voice saying "left right" over and over, normal now, just have to wait until weirdness happens and try then :P Feb 01 12:09:55 X-Fade: time has come to kick mscp into gear Feb 01 12:10:00 achipa: Ok here then ;) Feb 01 12:10:34 achipa: So do I need to push some packages through the repo chain? Feb 01 12:11:14 yes Feb 01 12:11:32 so, in order: block promotions of stuff that depends on libqt4-bearer-hotfix, qtquickcompat Feb 01 12:11:50 and then push those two to extras Feb 01 12:12:02 then we test mscp, and if it's okay, we push that too Feb 01 12:12:13 at least that's the plan :) Feb 01 12:12:49 achipa: What is the reasoning behind block them first? Feb 01 12:13:40 just to avoid a race condition, but if you think you can do the promotion reasonably soonish, then the order is irrelevant Feb 01 12:14:02 the point being that we should not have apps directly dependent on them in testing or extras Feb 01 12:14:04 I can script it. So it could be fast. Feb 01 12:15:16 achipa: Can you provide a list of exact package names and versions that need to get pushed? Feb 01 12:16:34 X-Fade: qtquickcompat 0.1.0 and libqt4-bearer-hotfix 4.7.0~git20101112-0maemo1 Feb 01 12:17:16 of course, these might get updated in which case I'll poke you again :) Feb 01 12:17:43 achipa: Sure. Feb 01 12:18:21 (the important part of these updates being promoted in a synced manner, not by automatic dependency pulling - hence the need for a block) Feb 01 12:18:36 does anyone know why with maemo and using cmake, sometimes no .so files are generated? Feb 01 12:19:07 achipa: yeah, but if I push them then they will be there instantly. Feb 01 12:19:15 exactly Feb 01 12:19:44 also, bergie said something about poking you if I need some tweaks for the REST interface part Feb 01 12:19:55 you up for a few mods ? :) Feb 01 12:20:24 nothing big, just want to avoid multiple queries in kisstester that make it slow Feb 01 12:22:16 * alterego wonders why every one and their mother has to create a new thread every time there is a new phone announced (that's not even Nokia ffs) Feb 01 12:22:28 achipa: Sure, can you file a bug with those so I don't forget? Feb 01 12:22:57 X-Fade: the qthello wart still occurs Feb 01 12:23:07 X-Fade: "size mismatch" for v1.1.1 Feb 01 12:23:12 I think Nokia knew that t.m.o was going to become a crap hole and decided, in MeeGo, to make it much more clear in regards to developer and user seperation. Feb 01 12:23:26 X-Fade: aye Feb 01 12:23:40 lunch brb Feb 01 12:23:44 You are saying tmo is a craphole. I am saying it is a living community. Feb 01 12:24:31 I may be being a bit harsh, I'm not in the best of moods. Feb 01 12:24:35 And if Nokia does not like communities consisting of real, chatting, conjecturing, bullshitting, etc people, it is their problem Feb 01 12:24:45 Heh Feb 01 12:24:58 Yes, I never really thought of it like that ;) Feb 01 12:25:24 And yes I understand that from the management point of view it is way better to have a community made of corporate employees told to go and create a community Feb 01 12:25:29 It would certainly be easier to follow though if it was just the 10 active maemo app developers :D Feb 01 12:25:44 /j #kinect Feb 01 12:27:32 RST38h: There's a culture on TMO though of "ooh, shiny thing" without being sufficiently worried about what it'll do to their primary phone. Feb 01 12:27:50 RST38h: And then said user moans about newbie complexity when somehting else breaks. Feb 01 12:27:57 RST38h: And, like typical users, they don't read the docs. Feb 01 12:28:04 * Jaffa is also perhaps not in the best of moods ;-) Feb 01 12:28:22 * lcuk slides bacon buttie over Feb 01 12:28:40 Ta. Much better. Feb 01 12:28:40 Ooh, I'm actually eating a fish finger sandwich Feb 01 12:28:46 Aww, unfair. Feb 01 12:29:03 * Jaffa had a Swedish sausage, topped with cheese and stuff, with gravy and mash potato. Feb 01 12:29:09 But that was two hours ago :-( Feb 01 12:29:21 haltdef: speaker-test http://paste.debian.net/106207/ alas probably not available and also maybe not even applicable for maemo armel & PA Feb 01 12:30:09 Heh Feb 01 12:30:37 Jaffa: Yes,I am well aware of the notion that 90% of tmo posters aremindless vermin Feb 01 12:30:44 I am bit too hungover for life today Feb 01 12:30:49 Jaffa: Also aware of the Sturgeon's law Feb 01 12:31:38 Jaffa: Still, you want a community made of live people? Here is your community. Want to segregate it by merit a little bit? No problem, look at devianart for how it can be done, for example. Feb 01 12:31:44 * DocScrutinizer passes alterego a glass of vodka with lemon Feb 01 12:32:01 Urgh, no thanks Feb 01 12:32:08 Too much vodka last night Feb 01 12:32:46 vodka + guinness + sambucca Feb 01 12:32:58 gj Feb 01 12:33:31 RST38h: I don't suggest that 90% of tmo posters are mindless vermin, FWIW. Feb 01 12:33:32 Jaffa: And if you just want all of them to shut up, you have got meego.com :) Feb 01 12:33:35 RST38h: Maybe 90% of posts ;-) Feb 01 12:33:54 Heh Feb 01 12:34:05 Jaffa: Nice, quiet, positive, business like, and you can fire people for talkingtoo much! Feb 01 12:36:26 alterego: trust me - I know how to deal with that :-D Feb 01 12:36:59 * DocScrutinizer trows an Aspirin into that vodka lemon Feb 01 12:37:05 Hahah Feb 01 12:37:11 Nice :P Feb 01 12:37:54 #meego-handset Feb 01 12:38:03 Erm ... whoops Feb 01 12:42:02 MohammadAG: heya, poked people so the marge request should be in Feb 01 12:44:02 marge request: http://cache2.allpostersimages.com/p/LRG/8/830/F52Y000Z/poster/the-simpsons-marge.jpg Feb 01 12:44:14 ;-D Feb 01 13:07:29 hmmpf, bugs in alsaped.conf - wonder whether and where to report Feb 01 13:08:38 grep tvut /usr/share/policy/etc/rx51/alsaped.conf Feb 01 13:21:40 ok one of the fun things to type into youtube is "Feynman" Feb 01 13:22:05 grep -n 'ihfandheadset = @outband_cancellation@' /usr/share/policy/etc/rx51/alsaped.conf Feb 01 13:22:31 hey Feynman, my alter ego Feb 01 13:23:30 :) Feb 01 13:23:38 Adventures of a Curious Character Feb 01 13:35:23 A friend of mine donnated me the book "you must be joking, Mr Feynman". He told me the first few chapters he thought the book is about me :-) Feb 01 13:40:39 DocScrutinizer: he must be joking, Mr DocScrutinizer. Feb 01 13:44:43 achipa, cool :D Feb 01 13:46:00 achipa: packages pushed. Feb 01 13:47:47 Heh, I'm not even planning to promote Columbus but it's already gor 9/10 votes :D Feb 01 13:48:30 MohammadAG: hi , the package of hildon-desktop with the desaturize instead of blur get keybinding broke Feb 01 13:48:38 or maybe i miss something Feb 01 13:49:54 i mean , now i can't use ctrl+back for taskmanager call , or just beging type for contact search Feb 01 13:53:33 E0x, gconf-schemas --register hildon-desktop-keys.schemas Feb 01 13:53:46 run that as root and reboot/killall hildon-desktop Feb 01 13:56:05 MohammadAG: cool , thx work just fine..

Feb 01 14:18:23 lol DocScrutinizer Feb 01 14:43:57 how bright are compilers? Feb 01 14:44:10 lardman, hmm Feb 01 14:44:25 lardman: 42 Feb 01 14:44:50 e.g. is it better to declare my inner for loop iterator inside the for loops or declare once at the start of the fn Feb 01 14:44:56 and then add 42 of course Feb 01 14:46:21 usually a good compiler should optimize out such things, unless explicitly instructed not to do Feb 01 14:46:43 ok, well we'll see how good MATLAB's lcc compiler is then Feb 01 14:46:48 gcc -O11 -ffast-math -funroll-all-loops -fblazing-balls-of-holy-awesomeness Feb 01 14:47:00 Windows I'm afraid Feb 01 14:47:06 though I could install gcc I guess Feb 01 14:47:54 Look at the generated code. Feb 01 14:48:04 always a good idea Feb 01 14:48:14 yep Feb 01 14:48:26 or simply write sensible code Feb 01 14:48:38 well that's why I was asking Feb 01 14:49:11 basicaly there's for sure no *advantage* to do things that need to be done once, inside a for loop Feb 01 14:49:36 except if it makes it easier for the compiler to optimise it away Feb 01 14:49:43 that was my only thought Feb 01 14:50:33 so how could that open opportunities to optimize - except moving that crap outside of the loop where it belongs nayway? Feb 01 14:50:53 two loops, one inside the other Feb 01 14:51:59 define "declare inner for loop iterator" Feb 01 14:52:47 for(x=x_start;x so whether to declare y within the first loop, in the hope of making the compiler's life easier Feb 01 14:53:16 as it will remain a register variable anyway Feb 01 14:53:47 Is there any reason you're doing ++y? Feb 01 14:53:58 like in for(int x=x_start;x no, typo Feb 01 14:55:26 you'll probably need to compare assembler output of both versions Feb 01 14:56:18 ok, as I feared Feb 01 14:56:27 but not to worry, cycles are cheap Feb 01 14:56:46 Or bench Feb 01 14:57:00 bench = PITA Feb 01 14:57:15 asm listing FTW Feb 01 14:57:30 The difference in time will be miniscule, I was just wondering as I move this code from MATLAB to C Feb 01 14:58:10 lardman: You do not want to free yourself from MATLAB runtime? =) Feb 01 14:58:34 MATLAB is good for visualisation, so this is in a mex file Feb 01 15:00:54 Do several implementations. Pick which one wins at first run. Feb 01 15:01:13 This way you have all sorts of fun hardware dependant bugs, depending on random stuff. Feb 01 15:01:23 as the code takes ~8min to run and this is just setup code, I think it probably won't matter too much Feb 01 15:05:28 * lardman curses the fact MATLAB uses () for array elements Feb 01 15:05:55 <`Ika_Musume> uhm guys yesterday i was asking howto format my sd rite? but how come my phone name changes to this http://img828.imageshack.us/img828/2404/screenshot2011020116043.png Feb 01 15:06:04 <`Ika_Musume> how can i change that Feb 01 15:06:47 hmm Feb 01 15:06:48 Funky Feb 01 15:07:27 well you'll never confuse it with a humble flash drive when you've got it attached to your desktop Feb 01 15:07:50 <`Ika_Musume> huh? Feb 01 15:09:43 <`Ika_Musume> anyaways can anyone help me change it? Feb 01 15:10:30 Mount it on a desktop PC and change the name there? Feb 01 15:10:45 dosfslabel on the n900 should do it Feb 01 15:10:51 <`Ika_Musume> well there its called n900 Feb 01 15:11:41 dosfslabel /dev/mmcblk0p1 fish Feb 01 15:11:54 Will rename the thing fish Feb 01 15:13:05 fishy Feb 01 15:13:24 <`Ika_Musume> lol Feb 01 15:13:52 <`Ika_Musume> it stay the same Feb 01 15:14:07 you wil need to unplug and replug it Feb 01 15:14:32 maybe even need to reboot it Feb 01 15:14:38 <`Ika_Musume> how its the main memory of n900 Feb 01 15:14:47 though I doubt Feb 01 15:14:55 <`Ika_Musume> reboot i can do Feb 01 15:15:20 The "main memory" is the partition you just tried to rename, i.e. ~/MyDocs Feb 01 15:16:05 <`Ika_Musume> well its the 32 internal memory Feb 01 15:16:10 <`Ika_Musume> not an sd Feb 01 15:16:17 umm, no. That's in HFM Feb 01 15:16:41 heh, maemo 5 sdk installer isn't working very well. it opens in text editor if opened by default. i set it as executable and running it does nothing Feb 01 15:16:44 <`Ika_Musume> if you say so Feb 01 15:17:00 HFM transcodes whatever is in partition label, it's using an own definition of that Feb 01 15:17:18 dunno what it's based on, maybe /etc/hostname Feb 01 15:17:24 "run in terminal" asks "Do you want to install missing package "python-qt4"? (Type "y" to install) "..and selecting y closes the installer Feb 01 15:18:01 cos^: running as root? Feb 01 15:18:05 there are other config files as well, for that Feb 01 15:18:08 lardman: of course not Feb 01 15:18:21 cos^: well iirc you have to run it with sudo.... Feb 01 15:18:55 lardman: ok.. now it asks to run as root after i installed python-qt4 manually Feb 01 15:19:07 not very great user experience Feb 01 15:19:12 they should have put their check earlier Feb 01 15:19:38 naturally it doesn't offer to escalate the privileges, so it has to be run from console anyway Feb 01 15:20:05 why bother write a install wizard, if it needs to be run from console Feb 01 15:25:15 `Ika_Musume: I suggest a ``grep -r BCM2048 /etc /home/user'' Feb 01 15:26:03 does the partition need to be umounted before that dos-namey thing will work? Feb 01 15:26:06 <`Ika_Musume> uhh Feb 01 15:26:16 <`Ika_Musume> ill try Feb 01 15:26:54 * lardman wonders how well that copy&replace MATLAB->C conversion just worked.... Feb 01 15:30:58 * DocScrutinizer wonders how `Ika_Musume managed to get such a weird name in HFM Feb 01 15:33:38 <`Ika_Musume> idk Feb 01 15:35:38 <`Ika_Musume> btw nothing happends Feb 01 15:37:07 hmm, home/user probably is useless anyway Feb 01 15:37:20 to grep there, that is Feb 01 15:38:22 <`Ika_Musume> ohwell Feb 01 15:40:55 ^C Feb 01 15:40:59 ;-) Feb 01 15:41:25 <`Ika_Musume> its only in the phone , mass memory is called n900 Feb 01 15:41:28 <`Ika_Musume> on pc Feb 01 15:42:06 if only I could recall where I've seen this friggin naming definitions for HFM Feb 01 15:42:20 Somewhere under settings iirc one can change the device name Feb 01 15:42:31 e.g. Bluetooth Feb 01 15:42:47 yeah, but only bluetooth Feb 01 15:42:56 perhaps it's used for more than that? Feb 01 15:45:01 <`Ika_Musume> lol it is Feb 01 15:45:09 lardman: nah Feb 01 15:45:12 <`Ika_Musume> so bluetooth name eh Feb 01 15:45:28 lardman: the actual name is also changeable via some file in /etcthough Feb 01 15:45:35 yep Feb 01 15:45:51 <`Ika_Musume> i changed bt and it worked Feb 01 15:46:07 meh, so why didn't the grep work then? Feb 01 15:46:15 <`Ika_Musume> dunno Feb 01 15:46:38 and your device will be fishy when you next use mass storage :) Feb 01 15:46:39 <`Ika_Musume> maby not the right plugins? Feb 01 15:47:04 <`Ika_Musume> well im happy that its back to its old name Feb 01 16:09:32 Heh...Apple barred Sony's eReader app from its app store.

Feb 01 18:21:18 trem? Feb 01 18:21:27 tremulous! Feb 01 18:23:22 has anyone else noticed the massive bug with kernel-config script yet? Feb 01 18:23:25 vi_, is the current trem ioquake3 based or did they move to xreal? Feb 01 18:23:37 it is ioquake Feb 01 18:23:53 but debian armel does not use opengles Feb 01 18:24:08 so there is no hardw. accel. Feb 01 18:24:23 making 0.25 fps Feb 01 18:24:57 you follow? Feb 01 18:25:02 yep Feb 01 18:25:11 so how do i make it use opengles? Feb 01 18:25:21 a magic symlink or two? Feb 01 18:25:27 rebuild from sratch I fear Feb 01 18:25:38 or does the code need to be altered? Feb 01 18:25:46 lame Feb 01 18:26:08 afaik there are asm parts in the x86 code wich you have to convert Feb 01 18:26:36 also you'd have to get around opt / rootfs limitations Feb 01 18:26:36 there is already an arm port of trem thatruns Feb 01 18:26:57 my rootfs is 10GB XD Feb 01 18:27:08 well common user rootfs is smallish :) Feb 01 18:27:38 but I think with the right tweaks in the fs code of the engine you could have all the data files in MyDocs Feb 01 18:28:02 there is an arm port of trem that runs but without HW accel. Feb 01 18:28:15 all trem data is stored in home directory Feb 01 18:28:40 only 400k binary is in rootfs space Feb 01 18:29:07 (excuse my tersness, i am on the n900) Feb 01 18:29:40 is the data in /home/user or in /home/user/MyDocs Feb 01 18:29:54 because /home/user would still be limited to 2 gb Feb 01 18:30:02 anyway i have put a 50$ bounty on maemo talk for the first dev who can get me tremming. Feb 01 18:30:09 hrhr Feb 01 18:30:15 I think I have something to hack on :) Feb 01 18:30:22 the data will be in the users home directory Feb 01 18:30:40 it is only 100mb anyway Feb 01 18:30:41 talk link? Feb 01 18:31:23 uh, i am on irssi on n900. cant paste links so easy. just search maemo talk for the work bounty Feb 01 18:31:41 ^word Feb 01 18:32:12 xchat > irssi ;) Feb 01 18:33:02 irssi > * Feb 01 18:33:09 vi_, why you cant paste links easy? Feb 01 18:33:13 Just paste o.o Feb 01 18:33:41 click on the "X Terminal" and then paste o.o Feb 01 18:33:58 Not so hard Feb 01 18:34:02 fellu my main concern wit irssi on the n900 is, the time I tried it I couldn't get it to switch channel tab :D Feb 01 18:34:21 :D Feb 01 18:34:29 there is esc for that Feb 01 18:34:31 on the touch screen Feb 01 18:34:36 esc + 1 Feb 01 18:34:39 do same the alt + 1 Feb 01 18:34:48 esc is like alt in irssi Feb 01 18:35:39 hard to join to all channels again and again with different client I use at home .P Feb 01 18:40:53 whadya think bro? Feb 01 18:43:07 vi_: that your spellchecker is broken Feb 01 18:43:42 bleh Feb 01 18:44:01 well the offer is legit anyways Feb 01 18:44:26 well I'll give it a try anyway Feb 01 18:44:39 time I finally read that opengles book I own :) Feb 01 18:45:10 :) Feb 01 18:48:17 a Feb 01 18:54:29 i wish there was an email solution that didnt totally suck balls Feb 01 18:56:05 i wish there was an email solution that didnt totally suck balls Feb 01 18:57:38 anyone know of anything that can take assembly language (i.e. objdump output) and output pseudo-C ? Feb 01 18:58:02 lol Feb 01 18:58:47 what you are talking about is the mad dream of a feverish reverse engineer(ist) Feb 01 18:59:10 it's quite doable, just wondering if someone's actually bothered to do it Feb 01 18:59:29 actually, it isnt Feb 01 18:59:40 what architecture? Feb 01 18:59:41 rally? why not? Feb 01 18:59:42 int d1,d2,d3,d4; Feb 01 18:59:44 really even Feb 01 18:59:49 int *a1,a2,a3,a4; Feb 01 18:59:50 ;) Feb 01 18:59:59 * lcuk should add more *s Feb 01 19:00:06 lcuk: exactly, was just how the opo revtran output used to look :) Feb 01 19:00:18 * lcuk shudders Feb 01 19:00:41 mind you, i have written similar in visual basic Feb 01 19:00:43 * lcuk hides Feb 01 19:00:51 well the best you can get is ida pro (if you can convince them to sell it to you) Feb 01 19:01:08 yes, and you need the add on thingy afaik Feb 01 19:01:12 then lateraly ollie dbg, but for x86 only Feb 01 19:01:18 aqualung used to work, but not now Feb 01 19:02:00 well if ya already know why are you asking? Feb 01 19:02:02 is /sys/class/sec/ Android only, or do we see that under normal Linux? Feb 01 19:02:14 vi_: I'd like something that works better Feb 01 19:02:34 and without ida Feb 01 19:02:49 compilation isnt like a one-way-hash its more of a rubiks cube Feb 01 19:03:05 there are many ways to arrive at the final construct Feb 01 19:03:28 I know that, I don't expect to run it, tweak one line and be able to re-compile Feb 01 19:03:50 but it is tiring looking at assembly all the time Feb 01 19:03:52 well if there is a better prog then i dont know it Feb 01 19:03:57 yup Feb 01 19:04:13 get used to it bro Feb 01 19:04:28 I wish I'd not left my laptop at work, sounds like a decent little project while my wife's watching silent witness Feb 01 19:04:43 uk huh! Feb 01 19:04:49 yep Feb 01 19:04:53 woot Feb 01 19:05:04 what are you trying to reverse? Feb 01 19:05:15 Galaxy Tab init Feb 01 19:06:47 ooooft Feb 01 19:06:58 well good luck with that! Feb 01 19:07:11 it will be easy enough, init is not very large Feb 01 19:07:20 why Feb 01 19:07:39 because it does things that the released code does not Feb 01 19:08:13 it knows whether you've held down a key to enable recovery mode, I want to intercept that and start Meego in that case, otherwise exec the existing Android init Feb 01 19:09:01 so really I could just do it all with strings output, but it would be nicer to have something that generates pseudo-code, which is what I think everytime I do this Feb 01 19:11:08 hmm, impressive, objdump seems to have output an awful lot of "undefined instruction"s Feb 01 19:20:50 alterego, hey are you around? Feb 01 19:22:50 so, anyone here going to fosdem? Feb 01 19:26:23 makulkar: yup Feb 01 19:26:28 makulkar: what's up? Feb 01 19:26:47 alterego, awesome.. need a quick help!

Feb 01 19:57:34 alterego, btw, could you point me to all code of columbus example you gave me if possible? Feb 01 19:57:39 their base is more free Feb 01 19:57:40 Everything just crawls on the n900 like a frikin turtle Feb 01 19:57:41 as in freedom Feb 01 19:57:46 vi seem a troll Feb 01 19:57:49 * lcuk runs laptops at 600 and 800mhz respectively Feb 01 19:57:50 you were probably conceived on a 233mhz pii Feb 01 19:58:10 i am a troll?

Feb 01 19:59:13 that is slow Feb 01 19:59:31 perhaps the chap saying 600mhz is for pussies is the troll Feb 01 19:59:35 you noob Feb 01 20:00:14 vi_, yes Feb 01 20:00:16 sorry Feb 01 20:00:22 I do 2 things at once Feb 01 20:00:26 np breh Feb 01 20:00:33 so I tought it was you that was saying that Feb 01 20:00:46 i like to argue too much :) Feb 01 20:01:07 Dont matter who saying what the thing is n900 sucks ballz people Feb 01 20:01:12 basically imagine you want to make a device that can leverage GNU/Linux applications Feb 01 20:01:27 you need high resolution and capacitive touchscreen Feb 01 20:01:40 and an hardware keyboard is great too Feb 01 20:01:57 The fone part is a disaster everytime i get a call the screen becomes jibberish and shit Feb 01 20:02:17 I never used the phone part on maemo Feb 01 20:02:22 so I can't tell Feb 01 20:03:30 ignore foneman Feb 01 20:03:38 No more support for n900 either sucks man Feb 01 20:03:42 foneman is ass Feb 01 20:03:50 Google is planning to hire "dozens" of software engineers, product managers, user-interface experts and "others who have ideas for mobile apps," and it's apparently already shifted some of its current employees to work in this new "apps lab." Feb 01 20:03:57 why do you need a cap touch screen? Feb 01 20:04:05 How interesting Feb 01 20:04:09 FoneMan, that's because a lot of the base system is non-free, so try meego or SHR Feb 01 20:04:23 seriously Feb 01 20:04:28 Coz i dont wanna be fuckin around with a stylus Feb 01 20:04:29 ignore foneman Feb 01 20:04:49 * Sicelo agrees with vi_ about FoneMan Feb 01 20:04:49 (fwd slash)ignore foneman Feb 01 20:04:55 why did you buy an n900 if you don't like stylus Feb 01 20:05:01 and he will fuck off Feb 01 20:05:16 i like the stylus Feb 01 20:05:35 whos beefin on le stylo Feb 01 20:05:38 ?

How? Feb 01 20:15:42 holy shit there is some balls stirring Feb 01 20:15:53 flash 10.1 Feb 01 20:16:01 from meego Feb 01 20:16:11 on the forum Feb 01 20:18:43 vi_: emacs is better than you, btw Feb 01 20:20:26 vi_: iirc, the one that's getting passed around is the TI evaluation binary Feb 01 20:35:52 The binary does not have accelleration - so ... Feb 01 20:36:31 who cares about flash anyway? Feb 01 20:37:20 lots of people, sadly Feb 01 20:39:21 heh Feb 01 20:39:27 it is a nice thing to have, yes Feb 01 20:39:31 but not that important Feb 01 20:39:40 most flash on the net I block with adblock anyway :P Feb 01 20:45:01 looks like some forumadolfs removed the links Feb 01 20:46:20 jaska: Sod off Feb 01 20:46:59 jaska: a) it's piracy; b) the Community Council is *trying* to get a proper release and TI have requested that they don't get contacted by random people (and randoms distributing their IP won't help) Feb 01 20:47:34 it's not piracy. Feb 01 20:47:37 stop spreading FUD Feb 01 20:47:56 luke-jr: it's being distributed in violation of the license agreement, whatever it is, it has no place on TMO Feb 01 20:48:18 copyright infringement is one thing, piracy is another. Feb 01 20:48:30 luke-jr: "piracy" is a common (even if historically inaccurate) term for the distribution of software in violation of the copyright holder's license and agreement. Feb 01 20:48:45 well if you want to correct that, you'll have to go back 300 years :P Feb 01 20:48:50 is there anyone who is good with X keymaps? Feb 01 20:48:57 Jaffa: not merely historically. presently wrong. Feb 01 20:48:59 yarrrr! Feb 01 20:49:13 it is common FUD that should not be encouraged or spread Feb 01 20:49:21 whatever Feb 01 20:49:36 luke-jr: you disagree that it's piracy, or you disagree that it's being distributed in violation of copyright? Feb 01 20:49:40 copyright infringement is *nothing* compared to piracy Feb 01 20:49:47 SpeedEvil: I disagree that it's piracy. Feb 01 20:49:52 piracy is raiding ships at high seas, etc Feb 01 20:50:08 generally involves murder and other serious criminal activity Feb 01 20:50:25 copyright infringement is not even criminal, let alone gravely immoral as piracy is. Feb 01 20:50:29 luke-jr: Yes, I was implying that people distributing Flash 10 were rapists. Feb 01 20:50:42 luke-jr: Stop arguing for the sake of it. Feb 01 20:50:53 Jaffa: fine. then stop spreading FUD Feb 01 20:51:51 * SpeedEvil is unsure what point luke-jr is arguing. Feb 01 20:52:18 SpeedEvil: merely that copyright infringement shouldn't even be *compared* to piracy, let alone equated. Feb 01 20:52:20 You want to defend the good name of Pirates, who did not ever infringe copyright, just looted, and pillaged? Feb 01 20:52:54 SpeedEvil: No, the good name of copyright infringers. Feb 01 20:52:56 copyright infringement is merely the violation of a civil law, that has no moral relevance beyond obedience to State. Feb 01 20:53:25 SpeedEvil: And that the colloquial usage of "piracy" on an IRC channel when someone else uses the term "forumadolfs" is perfectly suitable and substantive. Feb 01 20:55:13 s/\./ to argue about./ Feb 01 21:04:15 is mfe open sourced by nokia? (i guess not) Feb 01 21:29:47 moo. Feb 01 21:29:57 baa Feb 01 21:30:04 boo. Feb 01 21:45:37 maa Feb 01 21:48:45 ilma Feb 01 21:52:33 any of you think jews organized 9/11? Feb 01 21:53:28 no, but I bet you have Feb 01 21:53:31 lol, have i entered the wrong channel? :D Feb 01 21:53:46 trx: no, you encountered pupnik Feb 01 21:53:56 :)) Feb 01 22:06:01 anyway I bet it's been skynet Feb 01 22:06:37 Or Arnie himself, from an alternative future Feb 01 22:10:56 DocScrutinizer: http://memory-alpha.org/wiki/Temporal_cold_war Feb 01 22:14:29 tbh if anything I believe it's been planned by George DoubleWho and his CIA - at least it seems he met Osama's oncle the day before Feb 01 22:16:36 DocScrutinizer: according to some conspiracy theories, Osama doesn't even exist and was invented by the USA government Feb 01 22:17:02 sounds as reasonable as the whole incident Feb 01 22:19:29 in a metaphoric way it's probably true, I bet USA (CIA) supported and 'made' Osama like they support so many others, Saddam, Mubarak, etc etc Feb 01 22:19:38 yeah i'd believe it. sounds like something out of Eagle Eye or such Feb 01 22:22:48 you can place your bets on one thing: whenever USA is getting involved into international affairs, the sure as hell will find the worst option to follow Feb 01 22:23:20 DocScrutinizer: anyway, everyone knows they conquered Iraq for its oil fields Feb 01 22:23:40 "I bet USA (CIA) supported and 'made' Osama"? Not even controversial, the Afghan mujahideen were assisted by the US in opposing the occupying soviet forces Feb 01 22:23:59 (i mean, that isn't even a debatable point) Feb 01 22:24:09 actually they did that because of Saddam Hussein, their protegee, wasn't controllable anymore Feb 01 22:25:33 it can't be proven that Bin Laden himself was armed or trained by US agents, but certainly most of the people around him will have been, and a lot of the weapons in Afghanistan came from the US during the soviet occupation Feb 01 22:25:51 yep, sure Feb 01 22:27:05 and it's hard to believe 9-11 wasn't thought out by some weird spin doctor in pentagon Feb 01 22:27:45 watch Rambo III, it has become unintentionally bizarre Feb 01 22:28:45 it's a very patriotic American action film about supporting the mujahideen... Feb 01 22:29:07 DocScrutinizer: they wouldn't have cared about Hussein if he hadn't had oil. Feb 01 22:29:39 DocScrutinizer: http://xkcd.com/690/ <- the truth about 911 Feb 01 22:30:31 dancing israelis Feb 01 22:30:47 basically jews have infiltrated the US defense dept Feb 01 22:30:57 and they orchestrated the 9/11 drills Feb 01 22:31:10 to coincide with the nutjob al-quaeda hijackings Feb 01 22:31:15 so they wouldn't be stopped Feb 01 22:31:22 pupnik_: did they also tangle your christmas lights? Feb 01 22:31:33 this is all proven Feb 01 22:31:49 false flag shit Feb 01 22:31:53 really? Feb 01 22:31:56 yep Feb 01 22:31:56 did they use chicken wire? Feb 01 22:32:04 i'm a systems analyst Feb 01 22:32:09 BCMM: the tooltip comment is just to the point Feb 01 22:32:12 and? Feb 01 22:32:17 pupnik_: wouldn't it've been more unnoticeable if they did it while *not* dancing? Feb 01 22:32:19 and you're a fucking idiot Feb 01 22:32:28 you also go off on odd rants and attack people in this channel at random Feb 01 22:32:35 oh lol no the dumb fucks aren't gods BCMM Feb 01 22:32:42 they are just arrogant Feb 01 22:32:53 because you cunts will never believe they can do evil Feb 01 22:32:57 hogans heroes Feb 01 22:32:58 eh Feb 01 22:33:05 diary of anne frank Feb 01 22:33:13 etc Feb 01 22:33:40 pupnik_: perhaps if you didn't attack people and spew crap, people might listen (in places where it isn't horribly off topic) Feb 01 22:33:40 pupnik makes a lot more sense if you read it all in a the frantic voice of a high person Feb 01 22:33:53 there is a lot of disturbing information about 9/11 out there Feb 01 22:33:56 that's for sure Feb 01 22:34:05 at least luke-jr has the decency to keep it in a seperate channel ;) Feb 01 22:34:07 ok, ok. Feb 01 22:34:18 huh? Feb 01 22:34:25 nothing luke-jr Feb 01 22:34:41 sorry, these insults start to get common with pubnik lately Feb 01 22:35:46 i'm sure i had a maemo-related question... Feb 01 22:50:24 remembered my maemo question: is Java on the n900 possible/sensible? Feb 01 22:52:11 i thought there was a working JVM Feb 01 22:52:24 never tried it myself tho, seemed to me like it would just be slow as #&*$ Feb 01 22:53:47 it's posible with Icesomething Feb 01 22:55:30 http://wiki.maemo.org/Java Feb 01 23:27:06 anyone know where wireless passwords are stored at in diablo? Feb 01 23:28:47 hi Feb 01 23:28:49 I've that: Feb 01 23:28:57 [ 32.899627] UBI error: ubi_io_write: error -74 while writing 512 bytes to PEB 1451:512, written 512 bytes Feb 01 23:29:28 when doing ubiattach -m 5 Feb 01 23:30:08 I'll try flash_eraseall Feb 01 23:30:14 on /dev/mtd5 Feb 01 23:30:19 and to flash the rootfs again Feb 01 23:31:14 again same message Feb 01 23:31:15 sigh Feb 01 23:33:08 n/m Feb 01 23:33:30 DocScrutinizer, hi Feb 01 23:37:36 is there someone arround that knows NAND? Feb 01 23:42:16 GNUtoo|laptop: DocScrutinizer is your best bet Feb 01 23:42:36 Venemo, ok thanks Feb 01 23:43:43 nandtest seem not to output any error tough Feb 01 23:43:50 Venemo, any luck with bumping your sticky notes app to extras? Feb 01 23:44:55 trumee: huh. forgot about it completely Feb 01 23:45:16 trumee: what do I need to do to push it to Extras? Feb 01 23:45:39 Venemo, no idea. perhaps it has to go through testing first. Feb 01 23:45:56 I'm afraid of using --markbad Feb 01 23:46:02 after I would have to scrub nand Feb 01 23:46:06 and I can't Feb 01 23:46:18 (if there is an issue) Feb 01 23:46:25 GNUtoo|laptop: what are you doing exactly? Feb 01 23:46:43 I tried to flash an ubifs on mtd5 Feb 01 23:46:55 I don't remember exactly what I tried Feb 01 23:47:02 (the exact commands) Feb 01 23:47:08 but now I've that error when: Feb 01 23:47:15 *flashing the maemo rootfs Feb 01 23:47:25 and mounting it after Feb 01 23:47:36 flashing output no error, only mounting Feb 01 23:49:08 trumee: yes, but how? Feb 01 23:52:22 Venemo, i dont have a clue. perhaps maemo wiki discusses it. Feb 01 23:53:06 okay trumee, I'll see :) Feb 01 23:54:25 Venemo: I think you have to log on to maemo.org/packages with the email address you uploaded the package with, then you find your package, and there'll be a "promote" link that puts the package into testing Feb 01 23:54:56 afterwards, if enough people vote it up, it gets into extras... Feb 01 23:55:12 I'll try -m Feb 01 23:55:26 villager: thanks! :) Feb 01 23:55:51 GNUtoo|laptop: I think the maemo flasher tool can correct it Feb 01 23:55:57 ha ok Feb 01 23:56:02 I'll try tomorrow then Feb 01 23:56:56 Venemo: and yes, I got that from instructions in the wiki... Feb 01 23:57:14 though I can't remember which page, I just followed it for my own packages... Feb 01 23:57:20 villager: :) Feb 01 23:58:19 trumee: okay, I promoted it to testing Feb 01 23:58:52 flash_cp fails too Feb 01 23:58:56 I'll try the flasher Feb 01 23:58:58 trumee, villager: I have no idea where to vote for it though Feb 01 23:59:05 GNUtoo|laptop: just try flashing a regular PR image Feb 01 23:59:15 ok Feb 01 23:59:21 I'll need to boot a livecd for that Feb 01 23:59:29 Venemo, nice one. Now for some marketing/publicising in tmo. Feb 02 00:05:41 achipa: http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTSDK-491 Feb 02 00:06:04 trumee: um, this is embarassing. I don't know the URL where people can vote for it Feb 02 00:06:20 Venemo: looks like such voting is done from the "Extras-testing QA queue", also linked from maemo.org/packages Feb 02 00:08:18 Venemo: considering qtcreator is the 'glue' for the SDK I doubt that will get a positive response (a.k.a. confusing developers), but one can always hope... Feb 02 00:08:20 it's really for testing though, not just voting... Feb 02 00:09:10 (the biggest argument being that starting with 1.1 stable there won't be a need for separate installs) Feb 02 00:10:56 villager: it's been tested and proven many times. I was just lazy to promote Feb 02 00:11:11 achipa: at my record, I had 4 instances of Qt Creator installed Feb 02 00:11:50 Venemo: heh, at some point while doing SDK verification I think I had about 6... Feb 02 00:11:56 Venemo: well, the system is that once a version is moved into extras-testing, testers go and test it and "votes" up the karma if it passes their QA Feb 02 00:12:05 achipa: right now I'll only have 3. 1 from Qt SDK 1.1, 1 from MeeGo SDK, and the nightly I'm actually going to use Feb 02 00:12:15 villager: yes, I'm familiar with it Feb 02 00:12:30 Venemo: does it already have enough karma, then? Feb 02 00:12:41 villager: http://maemo.org/packages/package_instance/view/fremantle_extras-devel_free_armel/sticky-notes/0.3.0/ -> where is the link to the voting page? Feb 02 00:12:52 Venemo: that's extras-devel Feb 02 00:13:01 s/devel/testing/ :) Feb 02 00:13:58 Venemo: it'll appear when the link to its presence in extras-testing appears... the db is probably not updated instantly, wait a couple of hours maybe Feb 02 00:14:11 oh, okay then Feb 02 00:15:10 Venemo: well, meego is sdk is also going to merge into the Qt SDK (not in the 1.1 timeframe tho), so in the end, you'll have SDK + nightly Feb 02 00:15:47 s/meego is/meego's/ time to sleep, duh Feb 02 00:15:59 achipa: hehe Feb 02 00:16:23 achipa: yes, and the packaging issue is also going to be solved in a future stable release Feb 02 00:16:30 achipa: so it converges to 1 :) Feb 02 00:16:52 achipa: btw, please tell me that Qt Creator doesn't have this packaging mess with MeeGo Feb 02 00:17:01 one sdk to rule them all, and in the ... errm... cloud... compile them ? :P Feb 02 00:17:35 :D Feb 02 00:17:37 achipa: define packaging mess :) Feb 02 00:18:12 achipa: I mean, it won't want to make rpms like it makes debs unnecessarily? Feb 02 00:19:00 it shouldn't... though this is target specific, so would depend on the meego deploy/publish path Feb 02 00:19:28 but I assume that if the maemo target does it right, the meego one will use a similar mechanism Feb 02 00:19:45 achipa: mhm Feb 02 00:19:56 (as the differences if you leave out deb/rpm from the picture, are in fact, minimal) Feb 02 00:20:06 achipa: btw, did you know that text input is broken in PR 1.3? Feb 02 00:20:25 ummm... no ? (which one) ? Feb 02 00:20:56 achipa: I can't input capital letters of any Hungarian symbols :( Feb 02 00:21:10 achipa: (I made a keyboard remap) Feb 02 00:21:14 hungarian is broken by design :P Feb 02 00:21:29 achipa: it works in Gtk applications and it also worked in Qt apps in PR 1.2 Feb 02 00:21:35 kutya'majomsa'g Feb 02 00:22:12 achipa: so I can't input capital ÖÜÓŐÚÉÁŰÍ letters, only the non-capital ones Feb 02 00:22:44 achipa: I mapped Fn key combos to the keys which don't have one by default Feb 02 00:23:06 achipa: I asked some Qt guys about a possible fix, but they said that this is not supported so I can go to hell and fix it myself Feb 02 00:23:19 the whole input method thingy is a bit of a hack because Qt needed to be shoehorned on top of hildon... so it acts weird occasionally (i.e. not every input box is what it seems to be :) ) Feb 02 00:23:33 achipa: they also pointed me to a few thousand lines long cpp file... Feb 02 00:23:51 yes, that was the "bit of a hack" part :) Feb 02 00:24:05 achipa: "shoehorned on top of hildon" -> ridiculous excuse. KDE apps can run on top of Gnome without any issues. Feb 02 00:24:34 gnome does (a lot) less input method juggling Feb 02 00:25:03 not to mention that we have n900 specific hildon hacks in the first place - so it's a hack of a hack Feb 02 00:25:03 I just hope it will be solvable in MeeGo Feb 02 00:26:06 achipa: hack of a hack of a hack of a hack... that's what I see a lot in Maemo :( Feb 02 00:26:49 yes, well, hopefully (though TBH I would expect a lot of 'differentiation' done exactly on input methods so it's always an opportunity to bork something) Feb 02 00:27:07 :D Feb 02 00:27:58 achipa: slightly OT in here, but still. do you have a MeeGo installation on an N900 at hand? Feb 02 00:28:51 nope... must admit that I did not play with that combo for quite a while now Feb 02 00:29:10 (well, essentially since 1.1 got released) Feb 02 00:29:17 achipa: I'm just curious about whether it is possible to make a phone call with the earpiece yet Feb 02 00:29:51 achipa: in the 1.1 times Sts said it's not possible because of the lack of an audio policy framework, whose ETA is 1.2 Feb 02 00:30:10 achipa: now that 1.2 is in beta, noone knows and I don't have a 4GB microSD in handy to test Feb 02 00:30:18 Venemo: huh, no idea, really... I know the HAL guys were saying that SOMETHING was done recently but not sure if it applies to phone calls Feb 02 00:31:26 achipa: also, they complained in #meego about Nokia not releasing the N900 hw specs for the MeeGo guys. Feb 02 00:31:33 achipa: I found this utterly ridiculous Feb 02 00:31:46 ? define spects Feb 02 00:31:49 specs Feb 02 00:32:03 achipa: something about N900 and ofono Feb 02 00:32:11 achipa: I'm not sure about the details Feb 02 00:33:18 achipa: see http://mg.pov.lt/meego-irclog/%23meego.2011-01-31.log.html#t2011-01-31T12:20:49 and the comments of thiago_home Feb 02 00:33:22 telephony is always a pain point, because of 'assorted secrets', so I'm not entirely surprised Feb 02 00:34:21 yeah Feb 02 00:35:00 it is a lot annoying though. Feb 02 00:35:24 the funky biz of drivers and specs - even if you have access to stuff (via NDA or sorts) at some point it gets to legal because of distribution/publishing and then stuff gets hairy real quick Feb 02 00:36:11 achipa: okay, but I still think it's ridiculous Feb 02 00:36:30 Venemo: you will hardly find a sane engineer who thinks otherwise (Nokian or not) Feb 02 00:36:51 achipa: if a company decides that it likes free & open source sw, then it should act accordingly. Feb 02 00:38:54 Venemo: that could work if we had a full vertical, from silicon manufacturing through middleware to end products - the reality, however is that there is plenty of stuff done by others Feb 02 00:39:05 achipa: I'm happy to see that Nokia did the right thing in many areas regarding MeeGo, but telephony is something that should be also treated the right way Feb 02 00:39:09 (where others not necessarily means different companies) Feb 02 00:39:47 but there are these little isolated forts that are really-really difficult to make OSS friendly Feb 02 00:40:07 yeah achipa, I can understand that Feb 02 00:41:34 achipa: anyway, if the situation doesn't get solved by the time MeeGo becomes a consumer product, I'll just sell the N900 and buy a cheap phone for phoning and a tablet for MeeGo :P Feb 02 00:42:55 ah, meego as a consumer product... that time can't come too soon either :) Feb 02 00:43:16 achipa: I don't think there's much left until then Feb 02 00:43:38 two months, tops ! (pandora timeframe :P ) Feb 02 00:43:59 N9 is going to ship and take inspiration from neo1973. You start it up, and it boots linux, into a kernel panic as there is no rootfs. Feb 02 00:44:45 SpeedEvil: careful, it just might be true ! :D Feb 02 00:46:25 SpeedEvil: did neo1973 really boot into a kernel panic? Feb 02 00:46:46 yes Feb 02 00:47:08 You could see that the screen was awesome, even so Feb 02 00:48:35 hehe Feb 02 01:06:02 hey, does anyone here know of a twitter client that will actually work on the nokia N810? they all stoped since oauth :( Feb 02 01:07:42 GuySoft: maybe you could try to poke the author of a twitter client for the N900 Feb 02 01:07:47 GuySoft: or just use the web page Feb 02 01:08:29 Venemo, the new twitter crawls on the N810 Feb 02 01:08:49 Venemo, who is the author of the N900 twitter client? Feb 02 01:09:26 khertan ? Feb 02 01:12:46 GuySoft: there are multiple apps Feb 02 01:12:55 GuySoft: I'm not familiar with any of them. (I don't use twitter) Feb 02 01:13:19 ah.. Feb 02 01:14:03 GuySoft: maybe search on TMO Feb 02 01:18:51 good evening now guys Feb 02 01:18:57 achipa, thanks for the discussion Feb 02 01:19:32 GuySoft, poke khertan Feb 02 01:19:59 for the longest time his apps worked well on n810, hopefully he carried on thinking with khweuter Feb 02 01:20:08 (spelling is off probably Feb 02 01:55:23 bah, still no word from Nokia Care about my replacement N900 :( Feb 02 02:18:17 Vanadis, I tried flashing rootfs with flasher Feb 02 02:18:26 still the same error Feb 02 02:26:33 hi DocScrutinizer Feb 02 02:43:53 Anyone looked at this yet http://www.meegoexperts.com/2011/02/flash-10-1-nokia-n900-maemo/ supposed flash 10,1 plugin. Feb 02 02:49:07 yes, again, it's the TI release being distributed in violation of the license agreement Feb 02 02:50:10 ahh. Feb 02 02:50:13 not nice Feb 02 02:50:55 yeah, how dare you pirate software that adobe typically gives away for free in support of their own economic benefit Feb 02 02:51:09 they're going to lose money because you chose to use their software Feb 02 02:51:18 shame on you Feb 02 02:51:26 well it makes the community look bad Feb 02 02:51:51 that adobe doesn't make an effort to ensure it's done legitimately is their own problem :) Feb 02 02:52:03 i'd argue it makes the community look frustrated Feb 02 02:52:19 yeah but the community is antsy and self-hating as it is Feb 02 02:52:58 the problem I see is its an opaque binary from an untrusted source, so unless someone can verify it, who knows it could be nasty ;-) Feb 02 02:53:01 then what are you trying to defend? :P Feb 02 02:53:09 nothing, I'm just pointing out a fact :P Feb 02 02:53:27 zutesmog: you just described flash in general :) Feb 02 02:55:27 ;-) Feb 02 02:58:41 ah it seem to have flashed maemo **** ENDING LOGGING AT Wed Feb 02 02:59:58 2011
