Mar 08 04:26:24 music, podcasts... Mar 08 04:29:20 http://www.kaosradioaustin.org/node/34712 real democratic revolution (anti US) vs fake democratic revolution (staged by us) Mar 08 05:21:30 has anyone tried installing mafw on a PC? Mar 08 06:14:51 why someone do not edit wikipedia article for maemo? Mar 08 06:15:00 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maemo Mar 08 06:15:16 for example it says "discontinued, now part of MeeGo" Mar 08 06:16:34 i have not enough knowledge and not much familiar with wiki Mar 08 06:29:45 you guys up iptables or thought much about securing the n900? Mar 08 06:30:30 dont want to sound like an ass but asks the guy who is logged in as root into irc? Mar 08 06:31:24 It is a VM, no sweat Mar 08 06:31:33 besides, Stallman ran as root ;] Mar 08 06:50:45 ~ping Mar 08 06:50:46 ~pong Mar 08 06:55:55 http://go.theregister.com/feed/www.theregister.co.uk/2011/03/08/nokia_microsoft_deal/ <-- hmm Mar 08 07:05:04 ruskie: everybody kinda suspected this Mar 08 07:05:48 except that it will not make WP7 suddenly not suck Mar 08 07:05:59 true Mar 08 07:06:16 http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/03/08/microsoft_mobile_marketshare_slips_further/ <-- here's the other relevant news ;) Mar 08 07:06:48 Yeah, also knownnews Mar 08 07:07:05 As well as the fact that WinMo 6.x sells more devices than WP7 Mar 08 07:09:23 bother to summarize in one short sentence? Mar 08 07:10:43 Doc: Summarize what? Mar 08 07:11:14 Jaffa: here? Mar 08 07:11:17 the 'news' of M$ nokia deal Mar 08 07:12:37 Doc: MS paid Nokia $1b to make it "choose" WP7 Mar 08 07:13:11 lol Mar 08 07:13:16 Nokia will still pay licensing fees on WP7, per handset, but that is in the future. Mar 08 07:14:11 Some MS ghoul quoted as being "very happy" about the deal. You can cry now. Mar 08 07:14:19 * DocScrutinizer51 makes mental note to check his virtual Nokia shares Mar 08 07:14:24 that is not a problem for Nokia. They will not pay much for licensing anyway :-) Mar 08 07:17:54 endgadget just called Meego, "Intel's MeeGo OS"... snif snif! Mar 08 07:18:04 Is it not? Mar 08 07:18:18 it's just sad :-! Mar 08 07:18:42 why someone do not edit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maemo ? for example it says "discontinued, now part of MeeGo". I don't have enough knowledge and not much familiar with wiki Mar 08 07:18:47 Looking at the size and ubiquity of Intel, it is probably not sad. Mar 08 07:22:21 maemo declaring its own death on wikipedia is sad though Mar 08 07:35:31 DocScrutinizer51: it's kinda weird since maemo is still so much better than alternatives Mar 08 07:35:42 anyone here have any pending flights in the next couple of weeks? Mar 08 07:35:55 i've got way more useful stuff on the n900 than on the android tablet Mar 08 07:36:08 more games too, better games Mar 08 07:36:12 why timeless_xchat Mar 08 07:36:34 i want to test a tool that deals in amadeus references Mar 08 07:36:45 (n900) Mar 08 07:37:13 amadeus, how you'd access that? Mar 08 07:37:28 * timeless_xchat shrugs Mar 08 07:37:32 not my tool Mar 08 07:37:57 oO Mar 08 07:39:15 wouldn't you at least need h-e-n, an ethermet adapter, and a hub, to wiretap the terminal in terminal? Mar 08 07:39:44 at terminal Mar 08 07:40:12 ??? Mar 08 07:42:01 I thought amadeus is a closed system managing all the checkin and baggage and tickets and flight schedules and and and... Mar 08 07:42:43 I finished flashing my N900 to PR1.3, but I see in the list of installable applications pyqt 1.2 . is something wrong? Mar 08 07:42:54 probably some ticket resellers may access parts thru a web interface Mar 08 07:43:09 *shrug* Mar 08 07:43:18 this app clearly has a gateway Mar 08 07:43:27 i've used it before Mar 08 07:44:11 gateway == HTML via the internets I gather Mar 08 07:44:40 HTTP even Mar 08 07:44:45 1) Any idea why it's not possible to take a photo while speaking on the phone 2) What's the logic behind keyboard behaviour in application menu? Mar 08 07:47:07 #1 is because you cant play the shutter sound at the same time as call audio Mar 08 07:47:09 ~lart rhkfin Mar 08 07:47:09 * infobot wallops rhkfin with a main rotation server that needs rehubbing. It won't take long Mar 08 07:47:10 isn't there a PR1.3 of PyQT? Mar 08 07:47:43 jonwil: I have the shutter sound disabled.. Mar 08 07:47:50 no idea then Mar 08 07:47:58 pupnik: ? Mar 08 07:48:16 but I do know the law in some counries makes it illegal for cellphone cameras not to play a shutter sound Mar 08 07:48:34 rhkfin: 2) is answered on MHD wesite Mar 08 07:48:49 DocScrutinizer51: ok, thanks (will go to find what's MHD ;) Mar 08 07:49:20 rhkfin: see my tools website, there's a link Mar 08 07:49:25 jonwil: yes, I've heard that too, but maemo seems to allow disabling it anyway Mar 08 07:49:26 DocScrutinizer51: ok Mar 08 07:49:30 http://wiki.maemo.org/Modified_Hildon_Desktop Mar 08 07:49:40 pupnik: thanks! Mar 08 07:49:46 np Mar 08 07:50:02 basically qwer/asdf/zxcv are graphically mapped to the icons Mar 08 07:50:37 ah, right.. Mar 08 07:50:48 bs goes up one menu, if you got catorize or apmefo Mar 08 07:51:08 hey, that's great! Mar 08 07:51:21 same works on appswitcher Mar 08 07:51:47 plus there you can close apps with shift+key Mar 08 07:51:53 awesome! Mar 08 07:52:13 What's the place I should've read to learn this? Mar 08 07:52:39 my user?joerg_rw/tools wikipage Mar 08 07:53:13 there's a link to matans site Mar 08 07:53:23 and a video :-D Mar 08 07:54:08 docscrutinizer, typically, yes Mar 08 07:55:19 is MHD installed by default or does it come with CSSU? Mar 08 07:55:29 cssu Mar 08 07:56:00 docscrutinizer : any way to scroll? Mar 08 07:56:22 scroll? on HD? Mar 08 07:56:43 the launcher Mar 08 07:56:53 none I know of Mar 08 07:58:32 I'd prefer a cursorkeys based highlighting frame rather than - or additional to - this graphic mapping Mar 08 07:58:41 +1 Mar 08 08:03:35 use apmefo to have short menues Mar 08 08:03:49 one thing I'd miss is that pressing ctrl+bs in task switcher would take me to app list Mar 08 08:04:09 I see that I can change the behaviour of ctrl+bs, but that's permanent.. Mar 08 08:04:27 nah, maybe enter or space Mar 08 08:05:03 ctrl-bs is already used for swapping aps like alt-tab on 'real' PC Mar 08 08:05:42 On desktop, left top takes you to task switcher, where left top button takes you to app list. On desktop, ctrl+bs takes you to task switcher - it'd be very logical if I could 'continue' from there to app list.. Mar 08 08:06:03 matan told me something about F9 or whatever Mar 08 08:06:27 maybe that's been for menues *in* apps though Mar 08 08:06:45 ok.. Mar 08 08:07:11 honestly MHD could use some streamlining Mar 08 08:07:27 well, I'd be happy with _any_ button to take me from task switcehr to app list, now that I can use keyboard on app list.. Mar 08 08:07:39 yep Mar 08 08:08:08 \o/ Left and right arrows change desktops in the home screen. Mar 08 08:11:05 and bs in applauncher menu brings you 'up' to taskswitcher - redundant function but well Mar 08 08:11:28 why is it redundant? Mar 08 08:11:39 what we'd need would be bs in taskswitcher to bring you to desktop Mar 08 08:11:49 .. bs doesn't take one... exactly my point. Mar 08 08:11:55 ctrl-bs does same Mar 08 08:12:14 ah, right... Mar 08 08:12:27 (but doesn't take one again back to app list ) Mar 08 08:13:38 that's the problem: desktops, aplist, and app menues Mar 08 08:13:57 yes, moving between those three Mar 08 08:13:59 and cursor keys to move a highlight Mar 08 08:14:03 yes Mar 08 08:14:07 (incl. scrolling down) Mar 08 08:14:31 morning all Mar 08 08:14:53 enter down, bs up. space for select Mar 08 08:15:15 quick diff question, I've generated an almighty diff of the Samsung kernel patches, is is possible to split this into individual patches which are placed in their original dir structure? Mar 08 08:15:23 or s/up/out/ s/down/in/ if you want Mar 08 08:15:38 DocScrutinizer51: yes Mar 08 08:16:13 in to applauncher, out back to taskswitcher and then to desktop Mar 08 08:16:34 +1 Mar 08 08:17:54 Hmm.. I didn't try taking photo using blessN900.. that might work.. Mar 08 08:18:03 (or maybe it's more low level :/ Mar 08 08:18:07 well, we could handle desktop and launcher like tasks Mar 08 08:18:13 (taking photo during a call, I mean) Mar 08 08:18:30 DocScrutinizer51: interesting idea! Mar 08 08:18:47 * jonwil hopes we dont have to wait months to hear from qgill in regards to https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11128#c8 :P Mar 08 08:18:49 Bug 11128: Opening the source for Sharing services framework Mar 08 08:19:00 should be simple to start a desktop proxy task Mar 08 08:19:13 and a launcher proxy task Mar 08 08:26:20 I gather taskswitcher has to be open, otherwise Matan couldn't have patched it. So it shouldn't be too hard to patch it some more to have at least 2 mini screens always even without any started task: desktop and applauncher Mar 08 08:26:47 agreed Mar 08 08:36:51 well, a desktop proxy task would work as well. On selecting it, it just switches desktop to front immediately (and takes a snapshot of desktop to display in its own window, so you get a small image of desktop in taskswitcher - though I'd prefer a very obvious simple icon over a real desktop snapshot. Like e.g a lemon-green square with a white D in it) Mar 08 08:38:00 I have no idea how the task switcher works but could one have two icons on the top/bottom/left/right that'd take you to desktop or app list? That'd keep the actual task list clean for apps Mar 08 08:38:50 err, you already got one icon top left Mar 08 08:39:24 the problem is you can't select this icon right now, while tasks you can select with several methods Mar 08 08:39:41 right Mar 08 08:39:51 actually 3 methods, one of then working for icon as well :-D Mar 08 08:41:16 you might consider "background" as the second icon Mar 08 08:42:24 true.. Mar 08 08:42:58 not very easy to find for new users (neither is ctrl+bs ;) but that's not a huge issue, I guess.. Mar 08 08:43:33 trx: hey, any progress on compiling your project? Mar 08 08:47:35 DocScrutinizer51: has someone tested&reported if you scripts (wiki/joerg/tools) work on PR1.3 Mar 08 08:47:38 your Mar 08 08:48:49 well, most of that went into CSSU anyway, except of course for the cmdline things that for sure work on 1.3 as well Mar 08 08:49:45 MHD for example works with PR1.3+ CSSU just like it did for my tweaked 1.2 Mar 08 08:50:25 keyboard CR issue seems to be fixed as well, so that's also void Mar 08 08:51:26 key-repeat wwwwwwwwworks also :-D Mar 08 08:52:42 how come there are still packages in the extra repo with 1.2 version? are they ok to run with PR1.3 sys? Mar 08 08:52:46 I just would like to tweak the chars/s setting for key-repeat Mar 08 08:53:03 prolly they are Mar 08 08:55:56 Morning Mar 08 09:07:00 morning Mar 08 09:43:00 whats up guys Mar 08 09:43:20 following http://wiki.maemo.org/Port_an_existing_Debian_package should be good enough to get tmux on maemo? Mar 08 09:49:11 synergy running on fremantle would also be nice, i'd like to easily control the n900 with laptop keyboard Mar 08 09:49:35 hmm I thought that was already around Mar 08 09:50:39 http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=46557 this doesnt seem to gve much hope Mar 08 09:51:11 oh wait http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=513740&postcount=33 gives hope :) Mar 08 09:51:21 so, i just got a new toy Mar 08 09:51:31 and well, it's pretty amazing how one can screw up the home screen Mar 08 09:52:02 timeless_office: what toy is that Mar 08 09:52:06 n8 Mar 08 09:52:28 * timeless_office needs to look for en-us firmware to see if it sucks less Mar 08 09:53:10 does it actually do anything other than looking shiny? Mar 08 09:54:06 it looks like crap Mar 08 09:54:07 photos coming Mar 08 09:54:41 "A California couple whose wedding plans appeared thwarted when a lung infection landed the groom in the isolation ward of a hospital were married over the weekend, in a ceremony conducted over Skype." Mar 08 09:54:49 Sounds like an episode of House.

Mar 08 10:10:18 you can't see the 'e' properly, and it isn't better in landscape in case you were wondering :) Mar 08 10:10:26 timeless_office, what happens if it is pannable but with a short caption? Mar 08 10:10:52 generally it shows you extra things that come from adjacent views Mar 08 10:11:13 I know Mar 08 10:13:27 Hey Jaffa, 1 sec Mar 08 10:16:16 lcuk; the short answer is that wp7 just gets that stuff right Mar 08 10:30:52 Jaffa, i want to tkae bug 11990...

Mar 08 10:32:42 AsiQue: I suggest you add some comments to the issue then, commenting on the patches pk attached and offering to polish them up into a merge request. Mar 08 10:33:27 ok :-) Mar 08 10:40:37 is it possible to install git on n900? Mar 08 10:40:42 enough room on rootfs? Mar 08 10:41:10 hmm there is no git-core package even it seems Mar 08 10:41:18 there is git available somewhere iirc Mar 08 10:41:35 and remember /optification... Mar 08 10:41:51 I think it's in the sdk tools repository Mar 08 10:42:22 ruskie: optification meaning apt-get or having to repackage or what Mar 08 10:42:26 some apt-get magic switch* Mar 08 10:42:44 gentoo portage seems so much better right now than apt :) Mar 08 10:43:11 optification meaning that stuff gets modified and installed to /opt and then symlinked to rootfs Mar 08 10:43:33 there's a few tools for it out there Mar 08 10:43:34 mhm, i did that manually for git on openwrt Mar 08 10:43:48 iirc maemo-optify Mar 08 10:43:58 which hav maemo-optify and maemo-optify-deb that works directly on debs Mar 08 10:44:31 okay Mar 08 10:44:33 thanks Mar 08 10:44:50 I had git installed at some point on N900 Mar 08 10:45:01 * FauxFaux has it installed; used for backups. Mar 08 10:45:23 no idea where did I find it if not from repositories.. Mar 08 10:46:54 the sdk repos probably Mar 08 10:47:03 i use it for /etc management Mar 08 10:49:11 maemo-optify-deb? o.O Mar 08 10:49:33 well ill be damned Mar 08 10:49:42 so is there a maemo-UNoptify-deb as well? Mar 08 10:50:03 By default, the N900 sets a random MAC address for the USB interface every time you reboot. This makes some operating systems (Mac OS X) detect a new device whenever you connect the N900 and ask you to configure the network interface. The solutions is to set a fixed MAC address Mar 08 10:50:12 this has been driving me bonkers Mar 08 10:50:43 you are macman Mar 08 10:50:52 talking about mac addresses Mar 08 10:50:54 from your mac Mar 08 10:51:14 I would have thought this was your ideal time to shine! Mar 08 10:51:32 eating BigMac Mar 08 10:52:09 lcuk: lol im sitting behin my mobile puter right now Mar 08 10:52:31 which is an acer timeline Mar 08 10:53:08 my maccy is on standby http://osxdaily.com/2010/12/11/mac-setups-stand-up-mac-workstation/ Mar 08 10:53:37 if i didnt join this channel just today, i could claim that irssi shot on the right is #maemo Mar 08 10:54:37 ok madde resetting itself to 192.168.2.15 is annoying as hellz Mar 08 10:54:50 macmaN, I find standup desks only work if you also have a wall to lean against Mar 08 10:55:08 rm_you prototyped this once. Mar 08 10:56:19 lcuk: my experience is you need a switchable setup, so you can alternate, something like 30min/30min or whatever cycle Mar 08 10:56:22 sit/stand Mar 08 10:56:29 wall could also work, havent tried that Mar 08 10:57:33 random MAC addr on USB? LOL - OM fixed this like 3 years ago Mar 08 10:57:39 macmaN, you need room to move around certainly Mar 08 10:57:59 in other places with standup stations, also having coffee and food service helps Mar 08 10:58:39 (on the other side of room) Mar 08 11:01:06 >> This is not a spam If you don’t want to receive this message to your e-mail, call this number and refuse it - spell your e-mail<< Mar 08 11:02:35 + 1 - 646 - ... somebody to give this guy a visit and let him know? Mar 08 11:08:12 :) Mar 08 11:11:57 lcuk, i know you are always testing the last Meego version on your n900, did last version have fixed wifi settings ? Mar 08 11:12:13 i didn't found that on the qa report Mar 08 11:12:15 s Mar 08 11:13:55 khertan, which bug number was the bug marked as? Mar 08 11:14:06 and if you say "I did not file one" I cannot help Mar 08 11:15:31 khertan, so grab latest daily testing image and check, wifi works for people, but if you have specific issue, get it filed so the right people can track/manage it Mar 08 11:22:52 hey khertan, I've been looking for you :) Mar 08 11:23:40 lcuk, didn't remember the bug number but was already referenced ... :) so i ll try myself :) thx for the info Mar 08 11:23:48 OK So I've hung on to the belief that Nokia went for this WP7 deal to get $1bn... keep the Symbian end a-float a bit with something new... and eventually get back around to MeeGo one day... basically use-n-abuse MS as a commercial decision only to stop claims Nokia/Symbian aren't going anywhere... Mar 08 11:24:03 khertan, https://bugs.meego.com/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=wifi Mar 08 11:24:04 * khertan never found something with bugzilla search Mar 08 11:24:07 But now they've sold Qt... so if they were serious with MeeGo in the future, surely they'd hang on to it? Mar 08 11:25:32 khertan, how hard would it be to make KhtEditor run C files? Mar 08 11:26:36 Venemo, run c file ? Mar 08 11:26:46 you mean compile them before and then run them ? Mar 08 11:26:47 Lantizia: they sold Qt? Mar 08 11:26:54 Lantizia: are you sure? Mar 08 11:27:04 or are you just copying slashdot and other not-so-well-informed sources Mar 08 11:27:06 Lantizia, they didn't sold qt Mar 08 11:27:20 slashdot & friends have trouble reading Mar 08 11:27:21 Lantizia, they sold the right to do commercial support to digia Mar 08 11:27:47 basically, anyone wanting to use Qt, but cant/doesnt want to use the open license Mar 08 11:28:09 mostly medical, military etc Mar 08 11:28:13 e.g. who wants someone they can sue Mar 08 11:28:20 its not about the sue Mar 08 11:28:21 or needs commercial support Mar 08 11:28:33 its about some lines of business not being able to open source Mar 08 11:28:56 err Mar 08 11:28:59 that only applied to GPL Mar 08 11:29:07 Nokia already licenses Qt under LGPL Mar 08 11:29:18 thats still too open for some lines of business Mar 08 11:29:18 Well I did read it correctly but seriously if the ability to license it has been sold, the 19 employees have moved, the existing enterprise customers have gone... what's left? Mar 08 11:29:28 Nokia hosting the code, oh and maybe a trademark Mar 08 11:29:38 Lantizia: all qt development remains at nokia Mar 08 11:29:45 as long as you don't make changes to Qt itself, you generally don't need to worry about the license of your code for just linking to Qt(LGPL) Mar 08 11:29:50 Lava_Croft, development of Qt can be done by anyone Mar 08 11:29:50 well, not all, but mainly it does Mar 08 11:30:03 timeless_office: that still is not enough for some lines of business Mar 08 11:30:20 im not trying to defend the stance, but thats just how it is in the world Mar 08 11:31:16 Plus... Nokia have had Trolltech a long time now... why wait until after the WP7 deal to do this? Mar 08 11:31:26 Lantizia: but nokia wants to do it themselves too Mar 08 11:31:35 Lantizia: they didnt 'wait' Mar 08 11:31:39 Lava_Croft, do what themselves? Mar 08 11:31:42 they have been looking for a good company to take it over Mar 08 11:31:49 Lantizia: developing qt Mar 08 11:31:58 digia is iirc also a finnish company Mar 08 11:32:16 so these 19 employees aren't what is left of the Qt team then after the walk outs? Mar 08 11:32:36 i dont know any numbers about employers Mar 08 11:32:40 i dont have access to such data Mar 08 11:32:59 lcuk, something i didn't understand is the difference between trunk and testing ... are there a real difference ? Mar 08 11:33:09 http://www.rethink-wireless.com/2011/03/08/nokia-sells-bulk-qt-business-digia.htm Mar 08 11:34:27 lantizia: they're basically PSO / Sales Mar 08 11:34:38 i dont see how that article is any good Mar 08 11:34:44 or better than the other 5000 articles Mar 08 11:34:52 at least its not saying that nokia sold qt, so good link Mar 08 11:34:59 fair enough - the way that article reads it is as though it is as a result of the WP7 deal Mar 08 11:35:02 khertan, only in the place in the pipeline Mar 08 11:35:06 Lantizia: but its not Mar 08 11:35:09 ok Mar 08 11:35:14 they have been looking for a company to take over since 2010 Mar 08 11:35:17 all the year Mar 08 11:35:27 and probably planned it before than Mar 08 11:35:29 that* Mar 08 11:35:35 it kind of makes sense too Mar 08 11:35:43 khertan, Testing branch is like having a fistula on a cow Mar 08 11:35:44 the stuff they sold to digia isnt really a nokia business Mar 08 11:35:51 you get to see the patches and work as it is ongoing Mar 08 11:35:51 not a core business Mar 08 11:36:02 no I gathered that when they bought trolltech Mar 08 11:36:03 and they didnt sell it to some random company merely to get some $$$ Mar 08 11:36:32 qt will still remain a factor for nokia in the future, i personally think Mar 08 11:36:41 whats the recommended way to add/remove a new nameserver in pcsuite-enable.sh/disable.sh Mar 08 11:37:20 http://wiki.maemo.org/N900_USB_networking says add them manually, but it seems that all lookups will timeout on local dnsmasq for a long time Mar 08 11:37:25 before hitting the next option Mar 08 11:41:22 khertan: yes. compile, copy the executable to /tmp and run Mar 08 11:50:17 Venemo: i want my N810 back now ;( Mar 08 11:50:23 LjL: ? :P Mar 08 11:50:30 Venemo: gave it to my sister :P Mar 08 11:51:17 told her to make sure she plays Puzzle Master a lot as it was basically ported specifically for her :D Mar 08 12:03:20 LjL: hehe :P Mar 08 12:03:54 LjL: did she like it? Mar 08 12:04:10 Lava_Croft, so do you suspect this Nokia/MS arrangement is as water tight as the Apple/MS arrangement back in the 90's? Take them for their money, look a bit stronger because of it... revert back later? Mar 08 12:04:19 LjL: did your sister like the N810 Mar 08 12:05:25 Venemo: yes i think she quite appreciated it. of course she isn't yet fully aware of the slowness of the browser and other things :P (i'll just make sure she never uses my Android phone so she doesn't find out =) Mar 08 12:05:53 on the plus side compared to an Android tablet, i think she might like the telepathy functionality Mar 08 12:06:02 Android's chat applications are terrible Mar 08 12:07:02 LjL: :) Mar 08 12:11:19 ok yeah its confirmed Mar 08 12:11:31 synergy on n900 is pure awesomeness Mar 08 12:12:45 macmaN: synergy as in sharing a keyboard and mouse? Mar 08 12:12:54 Lantizia: no Mar 08 12:13:00 so khertan, how hard would it be to do this? Mar 08 12:13:01 yessir Mar 08 12:13:11 cool...! Mar 08 12:14:22 macmaN: any thread link orso? Mar 08 12:14:41 Lava_Croft: for setting it up? Mar 08 12:14:56 theres a package in the repos? Mar 08 12:15:05 no Mar 08 12:15:08 aw Mar 08 12:15:13 http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=513740&postcount=33 Mar 08 12:15:18 apt-get install libxinerama1 Mar 08 12:15:27 and then copy easydebian's binary Mar 08 12:16:06 its v1.3.1 and i noticed synergy has picked up development again Mar 08 12:16:12 moved to synergy-foss.org and all Mar 08 12:16:17 newest is 1.4.2 beta Mar 08 12:16:29 the new interactive configurer is pretty nice on windows (QT power!) Mar 08 12:16:34 dragndropping screens around Mar 08 12:17:09 how do you make synergyc autostart on n900 Mar 08 12:18:02 theres no /etc/init.d/local.start Mar 08 12:24:04 hrm yeah a cursor would definitely help.. Mar 08 12:24:09 esc doesnt clear menus Mar 08 12:24:15 enter brings up virtual keyboard.. Mar 08 12:24:36 screen switches off Mar 08 12:25:05 and damn i just tried to touchscreen my laptop Mar 08 12:25:09 * macmaN needs a break Mar 08 12:38:41 yey my first maemo wiki contribution http://wiki.maemo.org/index.php?title=N900_USB_networking&diff=42472&oldid=41627 Mar 08 12:39:14 Venemo, better providing a custom command line ... Mar 08 12:39:19 in preferences Mar 08 12:39:26 with a set by language ? Mar 08 12:39:58 khertan: why? Mar 08 12:42:46 Venemo, because compilation option aren't the same for all project Mar 08 12:43:04 maybe a project file could be good tooo Mar 08 12:48:14 khertan, "make" Mar 08 12:55:07 khertan: if (projecttype == "C") { callCCompiler(); runCCode(); } Mar 08 12:55:18 anyway, I have to leave now Mar 08 12:55:20 bb Mar 08 12:58:50 boo, speedtest.net flash is broken on n900 now Mar 08 13:00:06 hrm... gentoo-portage on tablets sounds like a good idea Mar 08 13:01:03 ehh -prefix i mean Mar 08 13:01:32 One of these days I wanna see a full Gentoo install running on a phone :P Mar 08 13:02:09 jonwil: doesnt this already do it? https://github.com/slonopotamus/n8x0-overlay/wiki/boot Mar 08 13:02:49 I said "phone", not "tablet" :P Mar 08 13:03:00 word Mar 08 13:03:44 jonwil, technically, isn't that gentoo package *still* building on his n810 :P Mar 08 13:04:02 I am sure you could even get cell modem stuff working if you ported ofono Mar 08 13:04:29 if you are going that far, why not just self build meego? Mar 08 13:04:37 yeah good point :P Mar 08 13:04:50 It was more a "would be cool to see Mar 08 13:04:55 than a "hey, I wanna do this" Mar 08 13:04:57 :P Mar 08 13:05:49 Gentoo on a desktop PC is fun though Mar 08 13:06:15 More fun and interesting than something pedestrian like Ubuntu or Fedora :P Mar 08 13:07:01 desktop is a different playground Mar 08 13:08:31 he N900 is still the best phone ever IMO :P Mar 08 13:09:19 aha! now its not a tablet anymore is it Mar 08 13:09:41 The guide you linked to was for the N800/N810 Mar 08 13:09:45 and not the N900 Mar 08 13:10:02 lol ok i misunderstood Mar 08 13:11:34 The only thing I dont like about the N900 is that it doesn't have features that are standard on just about every other phone out there Mar 08 13:13:20 and same the other way around :) Mar 08 13:13:42 i'm foreseeing lots of fun watching emerge dependency calculations on n900 Mar 08 13:13:55 ZogG, did "IL Orange" change to "orange"? Mar 08 13:14:12 it kinda made my home screen look shitty :/ Mar 08 13:14:22 maybe i should paint some wall and blog about how watching it dry compares to watching emerge on n900 Mar 08 13:14:38 Still, if there is community interest and a little bit bit of help from Nokia in a few places, there is no reason the N900 couldn't support some of these missing functions Mar 08 13:15:08 If it wasn't for the bug in libsms/csd-sms, I would have had Cell Broadcast up and running by now Mar 08 13:16:00 what bug? Mar 08 13:17:57 see https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8347#c13 Mar 08 13:17:58 Bug 8347: Cell Broadcast Feature not available Mar 08 13:18:07 its a simple-looking issue Mar 08 13:18:20 but it cant be fixed as libsms and csd-sms are closed source Mar 08 13:21:17 A binary patch (or a runtime in-memory patch) could be done but I would rather not use such crude hacks Mar 08 13:28:50 I doubt the maintainers of the CSSU are going to be fond of such hacks either :P Mar 08 13:33:42 lcuk, indeed ... make ... :) Mar 08 13:38:59 khertan, if it's too hard to implement in KhtEditor, I'll make my own small IDE. Qt creator is OSS so I only need to make a minimalistic GUI to fit on the N900 screen Mar 08 13:41:56 Venemo, not really hard ... it s just that i m not a c expert ... and have never compile on my n900 with gcc Mar 08 13:41:56 :) Mar 08 13:42:35 khertan, I can tell you what commands are needed Mar 08 13:42:56 Venemo, could be interesting :) Mar 08 13:44:00 khertan, moment, I'll install the necessary stuff Mar 08 13:44:13 :) Mar 08 13:47:12 DocScrutinizer: does stop bme also stop charging from wall charger -> miniusb? Mar 08 13:47:31 macmaN: yes Mar 08 13:47:49 of course. that's what you asked for - stop charging. No? Mar 08 13:48:05 okay, so that effectively stops charging altogether Mar 08 13:48:21 well i thought there may be some difference between usb->microusb and wallcharger->microusb Mar 08 13:48:30 so you could charge off one but not the other Mar 08 13:48:51 start bme Mar 08 13:49:05 yep gotcha Mar 08 13:49:09 ;-D Mar 08 13:49:58 http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/science/rock-paper-scissors.html?hp?src=ISMR_AP_LO_MST_FB Mar 08 13:55:33 hmm Mar 08 13:56:10 works if I make as root, but I get this error when I try as user: http://pastebin.com/72L4vWtU Mar 08 13:58:19 why is it giving me the error? Mar 08 13:58:20 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qv4AdLJ3fIo&feature=player_embedded#at=84 Mar 08 13:59:11 it says so right there - /usr/bin/ld: cannot open output file first: Permission denied Mar 08 14:01:22 yes kerio, but why is it denied? Mar 08 14:01:43 beause of... permissions? Mar 08 14:01:47 check ACLs Mar 08 14:02:22 what is an acl? Mar 08 14:03:10 Venemo_N900: access control list Mar 08 14:03:21 how do i check it? Mar 08 14:03:41 Venemo_N900: ls command Mar 08 14:03:53 Venemo_N900: ls -l FILE Mar 08 14:03:56 ok Mar 08 14:04:38 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 7061 Mar 8 14:58 first Mar 08 14:05:22 Venemo_N900: not writable by non-root users Mar 08 14:05:53 Venemo_N900: unless you change the owner (chown) or permissions (chmod) Mar 08 14:06:07 mhm ok Mar 08 14:06:10 thanks ilius Mar 08 14:06:22 Venemo_N900: :) Mar 08 14:08:16 ACLs are not listed by ls. Also not changed by chmod. ACL != permissions Mar 08 14:09:43 MohammadAG, i dunno, i use custom operator, so i have "ZogG" there Mar 08 14:10:07 man getfacl Mar 08 14:10:08 MohammadAG, and anyway it doesn't matter what they call them self they are shitty anyway Mar 08 14:10:56 so khertan, make can make an executable from a single file, without issue Mar 08 14:11:33 khertan: 'make myfilename' (without extension) will make myfilename.c and myfilename.cpp into a myfilename executable Mar 08 14:11:50 indeed ... best choice i think Mar 08 14:12:12 for testing, use the hello world example from wikipedia Mar 08 14:13:59 Venemo_N900, i almost figured it out Mar 08 14:14:06 ACLs on N900? O.o Mar 08 14:14:23 ZogG, the qt binding for xmms? Mar 08 14:14:37 Venemo_N900, with C and glib for now Mar 08 14:14:55 ZogG, don't be ridiculous Mar 08 14:14:59 Venemo_N900, thinking to screw it and try go all gtk Mar 08 14:15:03 =) Mar 08 14:15:07 lol Mar 08 14:15:10 go all qt Mar 08 14:15:43 Venemo_N900, i looked thru bindings, they are too complex for me right now and they are not official Mar 08 14:15:53 Venemo, ok i ll implement that for next minor release Mar 08 14:15:54 thx Mar 08 14:16:03 khertan, I thx Mar 08 14:16:09 Venemo_N900, most progs use c++ bindings with qt Mar 08 14:16:21 ... or python ... Mar 08 14:16:31 khertan, hey pal Mar 08 14:16:42 ZogG: who cares? your app is not "most progs" Mar 08 14:16:43 khertan, how is qml porting going on? Mar 08 14:16:58 depends of days :) Mar 08 14:17:12 sometime i'm playing to dev it Mar 08 14:17:13 Venemo_N900, but would i be awesome guy for you doesn't matter what way i choose? =) Mar 08 14:17:19 sometimes doing other project Mar 08 14:17:20 :) Mar 08 14:17:28 khertan i can be tester if you want =) Mar 08 14:17:31 KhtSync for example Mar 08 14:17:40 ZogG, you'd be awesome if you used the qt bindings in your qt app Mar 08 14:17:58 ZogG, before tester i need to finish the things ... you need to send dbus call to made refresh for the moment :) Mar 08 14:18:04 khertan: what does khtsynce do? Mar 08 14:18:17 Venemo, sync folder over ssh ;) Mar 08 14:18:20 Venemo_N900, i think best way is c++, but that boost thing =( Mar 08 14:18:27 gitorious.org/khtsync Mar 08 14:18:29 ZogG: NO Mar 08 14:18:30 khertan, did you used boost for maemo? Mar 08 14:18:32 khertan: nice Mar 08 14:18:37 Venemo_N900 why not? Mar 08 14:18:41 ZogG, boost ... nope Mar 08 14:18:46 ZogG: boost is horseshit Mar 08 14:19:00 Venemo_N900, why would you say that? Mar 08 14:19:26 who needs boost when we have qt Mar 08 14:20:59 that's what she said Mar 08 14:21:10 she? Mar 08 14:21:13 i was wondering about qt bindings and libxmms2-qt Mar 08 14:21:14 as i understand it's unofficial Mar 08 14:21:14 not sure if it was ever finished Mar 08 14:21:20 he is one of xmms2 devs Mar 08 14:21:29 Venemo_N900, that's joke obv. Mar 08 14:21:37 mhm Mar 08 14:22:19 ZogG: c bindings would be good enough if there was an option to receive a callback on song change Mar 08 14:22:56 Venemo_N900, it's work in progres Mar 08 14:23:00 the qt lib Mar 08 14:23:04 and? Mar 08 14:23:15 Venemo_N900 i had callbacks actually Mar 08 14:23:19 kerio: DocScrutinize is right, ACL is not enabled in maemo and common linux ditributions by default, thats different from permissions. I supposed you purpose of ACL is the same permissions Mar 08 14:23:38 Venemo_N900, i just need to check them. code is okay Mar 08 14:23:47 ilius: i assumed he already checked the permissions Mar 08 14:24:13 if those seem to allow you to do whatever you need to do, ACLs are the second thing to check Mar 08 14:24:37 btw Venemo if i have function in mainwindow.cpp and it's not MainWindow(my app) class, how i can change label from it? Mar 08 14:24:39 kerio: he probably could not enable ACL on his device Mar 08 14:24:58 kerio: :) Mar 08 14:25:16 javispedro: no, ACLs are not enabled on rootfs or /home Mar 08 14:26:10 I with this tool was availabe for maemo http://rofi.roger-ferrer.org/eiciel/ Mar 08 14:26:31 tune2fs -l /dev/mmcblk0p2 Mar 08 14:27:24 ext_attr but no ACL Mar 08 14:28:06 *with -> wish Mar 08 14:28:37 Venemo_N900, it's nice to talk to devs sometiems =) Mar 08 14:29:01 ZogG: ui->mylabel->setText(...)

Using PR 1.3 Mar 08 14:59:35 Ex-Opesa: do echo root:$(grep -A 13 lock_code /dev/mtd1|tail -1) Mar 08 14:59:44 and crack that hash using john ripper Mar 08 15:00:54 Ex-Opesa: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BMJyUJsKkUU Mar 08 15:11:42 12345 Mar 08 15:11:47 ZogG: DocScrutinizer has always been pro CSSU Mar 08 15:14:49 Greetings! Quick question... is there any way to programmatically receive SMSes, without the notification also reaching the UI? Mar 08 15:15:03 btw on a virgin device even grep -A 13 lock_code /dev/mtd1|tail -1 returns 12345 (iirc), which means that's not a crypt()'ed hash but a special case where the code is stored in plain text Mar 08 15:15:31 It'd be a great way to implement push messaging for a utility I'm hacking on, so I don't have to do GPRS polling.

Need to check without gnu-grep etc Mar 08 15:26:29 NB I already found out about -a for gnugrep Mar 08 15:26:32 well, check if my code_reset in repository is still working Mar 08 15:26:46 if it's still working then lock_code is still in cal Mar 08 15:26:54 jacekowski: I *for sure* won't ;-P Mar 08 15:27:00 besides, nothing is flashing cal so it wouldn't just disappear Mar 08 15:27:22 source is available so you can read it Mar 08 15:27:25 and btw. i don't trust you too Mar 08 15:27:26 uhih, and what about the screenlocker or libcal itself? Mar 08 15:27:47 what about them? Mar 08 15:30:15 if rec=CAL_get("lock_code") then {CAL_erase(rec); CAL_write( FOOBARKEY, rec.hash} Mar 08 15:33:57 heh, I've never known my lock_code Mar 08 15:34:10 or, I knew it for about 2 minutes Mar 08 15:34:40 I eventually discovered that the default was 12345, changed it to something, and none of my "standard" pin numbers work Mar 08 15:35:18 so it's about time to try above advice Mar 08 15:38:01 meh, false alert Mar 08 15:38:04 nevermind Mar 08 15:38:12 * DocScrutinizer sips his coffee Mar 08 15:38:38 DocScrutinizer: I tried several times in the past, it doesn't work, but my N900 is pretty messed up anyway, and I rarely want to use the lock Mar 08 15:38:50 sadness Mar 08 15:39:00 hope you NEVER use the lock Mar 08 15:39:03 can't get asix eth0 working Mar 08 15:39:06 via usb Mar 08 15:39:43 if it could be locked without knowing the code in advance, then I would have a problem ;) Mar 08 15:46:33 it can Mar 08 15:52:18 i always use the lock Mar 08 15:54:10 dashavoo: send me the output of echo root:$(grep -A 13 lock_code /dev/mtd1|tail -1): if you want me to decode your lockcode Mar 08 15:55:37 (it's not like I could use it for much rogue purposes :-D ) Mar 08 15:56:52 DocScrutinizer: root:p9.BLHfd2uUmI: Mar 08 15:56:58 mompl Mar 08 15:57:25 DocScrutinizer: anyone who can use _that_ to do something malicious from this distance, deserves my N900 ;) Mar 08 15:58:29 hey all Mar 08 15:59:09 i want to read and write to microsoft access db (mdb) file on my n900. any pointers? Mar 08 15:59:13 thanks Mar 08 15:59:27 Wow. ...why would you want to do that? Mar 08 15:59:42 :o Mar 08 15:59:54 user____, you can read and write them normally Mar 08 15:59:59 a friend is askin me to :) Mar 08 16:00:05 but if you want to get at the data within logically there might be a problem Mar 08 16:00:37 well, like quering the data on the tables inside it, stuff like that Mar 08 16:00:47 see my second point. Mar 08 16:00:50 what we usually do with access files Mar 08 16:00:54 how about exporting the database in some modern format and read it? Mar 08 16:01:01 yea did Mar 08 16:01:07 hmm Mar 08 16:01:09 dashavoo: damn, you for sure must have the most hard to crack PIN I ever john'ed Mar 08 16:01:10 exporting Mar 08 16:01:33 user____, commonly, sqlite is used in places where .mdb would be done on Windows Mar 08 16:01:42 single user data storage etc Mar 08 16:01:42 DocScrutinizer: my problem exactly ;) - I think it must have become corrupt at some point Mar 08 16:02:08 no exporting i think, wanna manipulate it, then tranfer to a computer and use it there Mar 08 16:02:22 yes i know that lcuk Mar 08 16:02:41 user____: you could try compiling http://mdbtools.sourceforge.net/ for N900... that would be your best bet I think Mar 08 16:03:02 i was readin, BASE in open office, what program is that?

Mar 08 16:04:44 DocScrutinizer, what are you trying to do? just curious :) Mar 08 16:04:48 DocScrutinizer: no idea, none of my standard pins are very long :P Mar 08 16:05:46 user____: cracking dashavoo 's device lock PIN Mar 08 16:06:20 cool Mar 08 16:06:30 and what software you using? Mar 08 16:07:00 is it that you get some file from him? his device? and then run your software on it? Mar 08 16:09:28 dashavoo: no luck Mar 08 16:09:50 dashavoo: you're the perfect candidate to try jacekowski 's lock-resetter Mar 08 16:09:56 DocScrutinizer: no worries, I didn't think you could Mar 08 16:10:02 DocScrutinizer: lock-resetter? Mar 08 16:10:19 MohammadAG: Here? Mar 08 16:10:23 [2011-03-08 16:25:03] well, check if my code_reset in repository is still working Mar 08 16:11:06 jacekowski: how does it work?

Mar 08 16:17:31 DocScrutinizer: I'll have a look after work and see if I can get the code_reset working - I'll let you know Mar 08 16:17:37 bye for now Mar 08 16:17:56 o/ Mar 08 16:18:20 jacekowski: same here with apt-get update :-P Mar 08 16:18:49 dashavoo: it's two commands Mar 08 16:19:02 dashavoo: apt-get install code_reset, sudo gainroot, code_reset Mar 08 16:19:16 MohammadAG:SPB Brain Evolution fails to start from the desktop, with the CSSU Mar 08 16:19:53 MohammadAG: Still runs from xterm, but not from desktop shortcut and not from the applications menu Mar 08 16:20:59 RST38h, pastebin the desktop file Mar 08 16:21:24 rm /var/sys/syslog.old 12MB Mar 08 16:22:08 Mohammad: A moment Mar 08 16:24:01 Mohammad: http://pastebin.com/pe9Bgsry Mar 08 16:25:00 lcuk, where to put a bug report ... : didn't boot in meego about daily image :) (yeah useless) Mar 08 16:25:26 * khertan will try the weekly image :) Mar 08 16:29:14 RST38h, hmm, weird Mar 08 16:29:20 wtf?! du -h -s /var/lib/locale Mar 08 16:29:54 may I nuke those japanese and korean locales? ;-D Mar 08 16:30:24 Mohammad: Indeed. And I cannoteven diagnose what exactly goes wrong. Tried starting from both landscape and portrait, too Mar 08 16:30:37 umm no Mar 08 16:30:46 Doc: by the love of the Tentacled One, go ahead! Mar 08 16:30:52 one friggin file locale-archive Mar 08 16:31:06 Doc: Except that in fremantle they are all merged into a huge freaking cache file Mar 08 16:31:23 For which you need a special tool to operate Mar 08 16:31:23 :nod_ ^^^ Mar 08 16:31:53 now that's annoying Mar 08 16:32:16 if it makes you feel any better, it is pretty well compressed by the file system, not taking nearly as much space as it looks Mar 08 16:32:50 I'd happily go with LANG=C if it weren't for Nokia's *brilliant* invention of tana_fi_foo_bar_homebutton_thumb Mar 08 16:33:24 yea, LANG=C is fine with me too Mar 08 16:33:42 Never understood why some people want to translate EVERYthING Mar 08 16:34:05 I bet you will hate the result of nuking locale-archive nevertheless Mar 08 16:34:16 no, nuking it is a badidea Mar 08 16:34:26 but there is some obscuregnu tool for pruning it Mar 08 16:35:24 I18n gurus, what's that tool? please help me out :-) Mar 08 16:38:03 well, seems that my attempt to hire a bunch of people to bring decent crypto functionality to maemo failed completely. they fucked my breain instead and that was all. Mar 08 16:38:26 Depends on who you hire and how you pay Mar 08 16:38:36 Arkenoi, perhaps you should not have encrypted the application form. Mar 08 16:39:38 RST38h, i did not pay because they did not show me any prototype code at least. that was wise not to pay in advance, despite the fact they talked quite reasonably. Mar 08 16:39:57 That too Mar 08 16:42:22 what's the problem with crypto? seems to me all is already there Mar 08 16:43:18 DocScrutinizer, orly? no crypto support either in email or VoIP is called "already there"? Or having gpg and openssl libraries is? Mar 08 16:43:56 depending on your demands it will just bring the system to a grinding halt, when you start swapping to a crypted swap partition :-D Mar 08 16:44:25 errr, gpg is FOSS, no? Mar 08 16:44:44 DocScrutinizer, btw i doubt encrypted swap will do much worse because bottleneck is io, not cpu anyways Mar 08 16:44:59 yeah, somewhat Mar 08 16:45:07 GNU Privacy Guard Mar 08 16:45:10 Yes, but as there is no modest integration it is the same for average user as not having it at all Mar 08 16:45:27 that's sadly true Mar 08 16:46:11 so it's not about encryption really, but rather about unfscking the maemo core apps which may or may not be closed Mar 08 16:46:14 * Arkenoi wonders why all smartphones support crypto so poorly. It is vital and obvious functionality and there is no reason to leave it out. Mar 08 16:46:39 DocScrutinizer, it relies mostly on modest, tinymail, gstreamer and telepathy which are open Mar 08 16:46:50 But ain't GSM communications already encrypted? =) Mar 08 16:46:56 * RST38h hides, preventively Mar 08 16:46:56 gstreamer??? DUH Mar 08 16:47:00 I hear there is some AES crypto unit in the OMAP3 :) Mar 08 16:47:09 supposedly there is even linux kernel code Mar 08 16:47:28 * DocScrutinizer wonders if Arkenoi wants to crypt the audio on its way from speaker to Arkenoi 's ears Mar 08 16:47:56 DocScrutinizer, voip codec framework relies on gstreamer Mar 08 16:48:00 Obama creates indefinite detention system for prisoners at Guantanamo Bay Mar 08 16:48:31 Arkenoi: so what? no voip is doing encryption on the digital audio level Mar 08 16:48:40 check ZRTP Mar 08 16:49:01 DocScrutinizer, if i wish to add zrtp, gstreamer is the place where it should live. Mar 08 16:49:21 can even be used as a local proxy to crypt RTP streams of existing apps Mar 08 16:49:47 and there's definitly no gstreamer near that Mar 08 16:49:59 afaik Maemo uses hardcoded gstreamer pipelines everywhere Mar 08 16:50:09 so,it may not be such a good idea with gstreamer Mar 08 16:50:25 check ZRTP Mar 08 16:50:38 can even be used as a local proxy to crypt RTP streams of existing apps Mar 08 16:50:45 DocScrutinizer, if i wish it to be used transparently, it was said gstreamer is the place, as other people on bmo/tmo checked it before Mar 08 16:51:31 it may be separate integration pita. sip codecs and rtp implementation all live in gstreamer Mar 08 16:51:36 meh, ZRTP proxy is operating on IP streams Mar 08 16:52:10 DocScrutinizer, yes, but i need to register some new voip pseudo protocol anyways to make settings look reasonable Mar 08 16:52:28 so messing with telepathy and gstreamer is inevitable Mar 08 16:52:36 errr, there's a thing called local loopback? Mar 08 16:53:24 DocScrutinizer, do i expect joe average user registering on local loopback and editing cryptic looking configs? Mar 08 16:53:40 definitely ZRTP proxy can get installed on virtually every RTP system Mar 08 16:53:58 Arkenoi: now THAT can be tackled Mar 08 16:54:32 5 lines of sed/awk anf 3 gconf commands, and fine Mar 08 16:55:04 well, maybe, if someone is willing to do it that way quick and cheap, i agree Mar 08 16:56:03 well, refusing to mess with patching existing apps inevitably results in 'the cheap & dirty approach" Mar 08 16:57:31 * MohammadAG boots up 1 March MeeGo image Mar 08 16:58:04 Arkenoi: there's however one thing you definitely won't fix: GSM Mar 08 16:58:36 holy shit the settings page is a mess Mar 08 16:58:51 AIUI the GSM codec is implemented in BB5 and you can't mess around with it Mar 08 16:59:13 DocScrutinizer, yes, but given 2G networks become extinct, we may expect reasonable bandwidth Mar 08 16:59:20 to ba available all the time Mar 08 16:59:23 nice scrolling, if you can do it Mar 08 16:59:38 sure, so you're back to VoIP basicaly Mar 08 16:59:54 there is a dirty trick, run voip over csd, but i am not sure n900 does really support csd at all Mar 08 17:00:17 lol clicking the menu opened the android-like status bar Mar 08 17:00:21 I think it might do CSD, but I doubt 3G does CSD Mar 08 17:00:22 why do I even bother... Mar 08 17:00:42 * MohammadAG reboots back to Maemo Mar 08 17:01:02 Arkenoi: so most probably HSCSD is best you can get Mar 08 17:01:10 for p2p Mar 08 17:01:55 and even for that I'm not sure it really supports p2p Mar 08 17:02:16 DocScrutinizer, it cerainly does, or you may send a signal to switch to 2G via sms on call setup. there are numerous devices like atm, pos, tracking devices etc that rely on csd functionality, so it is unlikely to be taken off the network Mar 08 17:03:13 it's not taken off the network, I just doubt you can INVITE (aka call) a MT via HSCSD Mar 08 17:03:57 so you're back to CSD which afaik is 14400 Mar 08 17:04:08 http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/wiki/SrtpSupport Mar 08 17:04:16 no progress here for 3 years Mar 08 17:04:17 which might be just fine for iLBC and similar codecs Mar 08 17:04:51 LOL MeeGo has an Ovi store logo Mar 08 17:04:57 (well, Ovi, to get backgrounds) Mar 08 17:05:02 still you need a contract that allows inbound data calls Mar 08 17:05:09 DocScrutinizer, 14400 is enough for voice if it is a guaranteed bandwidth (not like GPRS) Mar 08 17:05:23 sure, that's what I said Mar 08 17:05:50 GSM codec works even with halfrate which is 4800 ;-) Mar 08 17:06:09 i am not really sure it is still required for m2m calls (it is if you wish to accept data calls from analogue phones) Mar 08 17:06:20 fullrate 9600, enhanced full rate 14400 Mar 08 17:06:24 * SpeedEvil hasn't readbackscroll. Mar 08 17:06:44 * SpeedEvil wonders ifthis is time to cue the 'no, you can't transmit data over voice codec' rant. Mar 08 17:07:00 no, we're beyond that point Mar 08 17:07:00 * SpeedEvil decides it's time to clean keyboard. Mar 08 17:07:12 SpeedEvil: CSD Mar 08 17:07:15 Ah. Mar 08 17:08:07 CSD is so oooooout I dunno how many of the carriers even offer it, for inbound calls Mar 08 17:08:23 just one thing that's even more out: fax over GSM Mar 08 17:08:59 think that one never took off Mar 08 17:09:39 DocScrutinizer, i used it a couple of times Mar 08 17:09:51 hell, nowadays modems don't even come with a proper comprehensive AT cmdset Mar 08 17:10:26 most of then don't know about CSD anymore Mar 08 17:10:31 actually once i used it to send a real fax and another time i just wanted to print a document from my Nokia 9110 and it was the easiest way to send it to a nearby fax :-) Mar 08 17:11:22 I'm not sure whether BB5 in N900 supports it Mar 08 17:11:55 e90 was the first communicator with fax support removed Mar 08 17:12:07 and even more doubtable whether ISI supports it Mar 08 17:12:59 I guess most android phones do support CSD Mar 08 17:13:25 as Marlinspike's cryptophone uses it Mar 08 17:14:19 all those cryptophones probably use massivlely tweaked GSM codecs Mar 08 17:15:05 which could be a smart thing, if you manage to implement it transparent ans seamless, like ZRTP Mar 08 17:16:18 several modems use a GSM codec in "userland" and send the raw data to modem Mar 08 17:16:33 i want minmal implementation to speak zRTP with generic SIP over wifi or 3g and (ideally) to be interoperable with desktop zrtp/srtp implementations Mar 08 17:16:33 err to TX, for that namespace Mar 08 17:17:05 should be feasible Mar 08 17:17:08 supporting CSD and 2G/low bandwidth networks may be next task Mar 08 17:19:05 * SpeedEvil wonders how many weeks of one-time-pad you can get on a 16G usd Mar 08 17:19:21 * MohammadAG wonders how hard it'd be to shove 3G video call support on the N900 Mar 08 17:20:12 SpeedEvil, alot, it was my idea for most paranoid people who believe government guys broke all pk crypto years ago :-) Mar 08 17:20:49 One time pad is easier for governments to break. Mar 08 17:21:06 MohammadAG, 3g video sucks anyways, almost never works internationally etc etc Mar 08 17:21:07 Construct desired description, xor with logged data to find key. Mar 08 17:21:42 Arkenoi, still doesn't answer my question :) Mar 08 17:21:43 SpeedEvil, if it is used properly, it is never reused, so finding "key" is useless. Mar 08 17:22:26 Iknow. Mar 08 17:24:01 the real problem is it is easy to have a key agreement for two communicating entities, but it is much more complicated to scale it further Mar 08 17:25:33 hey guys Mar 08 17:25:37 a quick question... Mar 08 17:25:44 I'm thinking of setting up a server on my N900 Mar 08 17:25:45 ;] Mar 08 17:25:55 with USB attached storage, any opinions? Mar 08 17:26:00 or advice ? Mar 08 17:26:26 Use a USB floppy, and a external display to prompt the user which disk to put in. Mar 08 17:26:46 * SpeedEvil used a floppy yesterday. Mar 08 17:26:51 I've got a few issues so far, how to attach a network device AND the charger at the same time, and two - will there be any fs restrictions? Mar 08 17:26:56 SpeedEvil: Usb floppy ? Mar 08 17:26:59 It was in an eyesight testing unit that I was using. Mar 08 17:27:07 ah, ur not talking to me ;] Mar 08 17:27:17 matthias-: FS restrictions? Mar 08 17:27:35 i guess there should be usb-to-scsi adapters that look like mass storage, so you may find 8" floppy with scsi interface.. Mar 08 17:27:59 SpeedEvil: well, ive got them on the OSX FS Mar 08 17:28:10 thinking of size/speed restrictions Mar 08 17:29:51 matthias-: There are no real restrictions. Mar 08 17:30:01 If you can mount it on a normal PC, you can use it. Mar 08 17:30:16 I haven't used it though, I can't comment on speed. Mar 08 17:33:39 matthias-: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=921203#post921203 Mar 08 17:34:08 I dont get the fascination of using the n900 as a wired server Mar 08 17:34:21 whats wrong with just using a pogoplug or something, if you want to do it small and cheap Mar 08 17:35:01 Pogoplug with 32gb of storage, decent cpu and ram? How much? Mar 08 17:35:32 17 megatons Mar 08 17:35:43 pogoplug = £50 odd, a 32gb memory stick is, what, another £40 Mar 08 17:35:47 FauxFaux: 32G USB key plus pogoplugprice Mar 08 17:35:58 Or old 32G hard drive - damn near free. Mar 08 17:36:00 it's not a fascination Mar 08 17:36:04 i dont have anything else Mar 08 17:36:06 to set it up on :) Mar 08 17:36:11 and have a brand new n900 in a box Mar 08 17:36:45 so you're using a £400 mobile device not meant to function as a wired server rather than a £50 device that is? Mar 08 17:36:49 errr, you could sell it. Or I'll swap it for a really nice pogoplug Mar 08 17:36:50 yep. Mar 08 17:36:58 i could sell it, tho cba to post it Mar 08 17:37:07 and i bought it for £499 :< Mar 08 17:37:26 well, that's just too silly Mar 08 17:37:40 It's really easy to post. Mar 08 17:38:06 cba Mar 08 17:38:08 dont have time Mar 08 17:38:20 is there any thread on talk.maemo Mar 08 17:38:24 about selling phones? Mar 08 17:38:27 I'll send a UPS dude Mar 08 17:38:33 theres a whole subforum about it Mar 08 17:38:43 ebay and amazon have also existed for a number of years Mar 08 17:39:18 Ebay works well. Mar 08 17:39:46 ot - even better - I drive over to netherlands and fetch it myself. s/fetch/snatch/ Mar 08 17:39:48 also, if this n900 is brand new in a box, it could just be returned. Mar 08 17:39:59 I just bought a cube of insulation that's about my height in all dimensions, cheap.

Mar 08 17:59:10 AsiQue, yes to the first question Mar 08 17:59:36 actually, after my "release" of that on tmo, it was made configurable upstream, I changed the default value in the CSSU Mar 08 17:59:50 when it replaces all functions of the stock player, yes Mar 08 18:00:09 tnx... good to know, because i feel it's laggy more then before...

Mar 08 18:02:35 cause i want it as a server Mar 08 18:03:05 matthias-: add international shipping and they will sell faster :-) Mar 08 18:03:13 you think you need a mac mini to do something you were planning to do on an n900?

Mar 08 18:03:54 nidO: no, but i like it Mar 08 18:04:16 well it will do it anyway ;] Mar 08 18:05:03 matthias-, sure, just make sure you get the money before shipping Mar 08 18:05:22 well you have paypal for that... Mar 08 18:05:23 PayPal once said the payment was complete for me, when I checked the credit card statement I wasn't billed Mar 08 18:05:47 the seller already sent me the item, when I contacted him he said he never received the money Mar 08 18:06:11 in short, PayPal can make mistakes Mar 08 18:06:21 yep Mar 08 18:06:22 had same thing Mar 08 18:06:26 actually sent the item Mar 08 18:06:30 and paypal refunded the guy Mar 08 18:06:34 lol Mar 08 18:06:46 they didn't refund me, they just didn't take the money the first time Mar 08 18:06:48 and parcelforce is £25 Mar 08 18:07:00 for worldwide delivery Mar 08 18:07:03 didn't happen to me... and i order alot :-!

Mar 08 18:26:16 what's a pogoplug? Mar 08 18:26:32 http://www.pogoplug.com Mar 08 18:26:52 a little arm embedded machine designed to share usb drives through a web interface over the net Mar 08 18:27:06 that takes about half an hour to modify to run a full lamp setup Mar 08 18:27:31 nidO: why not then just a NAS -> USB adapter Mar 08 18:27:57 and for £50-80 i can get some box with full ftp/http services Mar 08 18:27:59 irc Mar 08 18:28:01 bla bla bla Mar 08 18:28:16 http://www.businessweek.com/news/2011-03-07/microsoft-is-said-to-pay-nokia-more-than-1-billion-in-deal.html Mar 08 18:28:24 so who wouldn't make that deal with $1 billion front.. Mar 08 18:28:40 hi folks, a quick question, while installing Community SSU, it asks me to remove mp-fremantle-generic-pr, is that normal? Mar 08 18:29:00 mp-fremantle-community-pr should replace mp-fremantle-generic-pr Mar 08 18:29:43 Sc0rpius: great, thanks Mar 08 18:30:38 nidO: and it wouldnt see it as a network device Mar 08 18:30:59 hmm Mar 08 18:31:16 though it shouldn't "ask" about that right MohammadAG Mar 08 18:31:19 what's the metal part on the back cover? Mar 08 18:31:20 matthias-: i'm not sure what you're asking me Mar 08 18:31:44 yeah Sc0rpius, was checking the script to see if i added that at some point lol Mar 08 18:31:55 MohammadAG: if i plug a hdd to that pogoplug. Mar 08 18:32:30 and the one for striming vido is $200 Mar 08 18:32:36 i meant nidO ^^ not MohammadAG Mar 08 18:33:08 you can plug whatever storage you want into it Mar 08 18:33:29 nidO: i mean if I plug it into it it wont be a NAS Mar 08 18:33:40 well, it will be, but i need some drivers for it from what I unerstand Mar 08 18:34:00 and it cant stream a video to hdmi without decoding. Mar 08 18:34:41 to -> via, only back through router Mar 08 18:35:15 and for that you need gigabit eth, or at least 801.11n Mar 08 18:36:08 i've no clue whatsoever what you're asking me. if you want the device to serve content from a nas, you just access the content over the network, thats the whole point of a nas Mar 08 18:36:19 So, i dont buy this plug bonanzna. Mar 08 18:36:34 ... Mar 08 18:36:45 nidO: yeah, you access it over the network, but you need some different drivers. what's more is that it wouldnt play 1080p mkv's Mar 08 18:37:15 why do you imagine you need drivers to access a nas over a network? Mar 08 18:37:43 for it to be seen as NAS you need some extra drivers, just saw it on their website Mar 08 18:37:48 and why would you be needing a server device to play mkv's - you wanted a server, and a pogoplug cant play anything atall as it has no video adaptor or output Mar 08 18:38:09 matthias- - thats for the pogoplug itself to function as a nas using whatever das storage is connected to it Mar 08 18:38:25 ah Mar 08 18:38:44 yeah it's called video and it's without any video adaptor Mar 08 18:38:55 theyre servers. Mar 08 18:39:13 the pogoplug video is used to stream vido content over the net to a remote location Mar 08 18:39:49 ah, well yeah then I dont see it being anything better than a nas -> usb adaptor Mar 08 18:40:24 I mean, for me and my intended use Mar 08 18:40:40 you've totally lost me. the capability of each account type you get on pogoplug's service and whether the account can stream video is totally irrelevant if you're modifying the device to run a lamp setup to use it as a server Mar 08 18:41:23 dont like it! :> Mar 08 18:41:34 i'd rather this: Mar 08 18:41:35 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Belkin-Network-USB-Hub-Print-Device-Server-F5L009-/180635144934?pt=UK_Computing_NetworkingHubs_RL&hash=item2a0eb192e6#ht_3090wt_907 Mar 08 18:43:16 what's that going to do for you? Mar 08 18:43:49 attach my deviced to a network. Mar 08 18:45:40 and you cant firewall the pogoplug, dont trust it! Mar 08 18:45:46 ... Mar 08 18:45:55 nidO: just walk away from this one. Mar 08 18:46:03 ignorance always wins Mar 08 18:47:35 its not ignorance, its being right. Mar 08 18:48:06 it shares the file, over http somewhow, I'd have to open ports Mar 08 18:48:20 and i wouldnt be able to fully control it, -> fail Mar 08 18:49:00 matthias-: for about the billionth time Mar 08 18:49:19 the whole point of getting a pogoplug would be to just put a standard lamp install on it, you're the one that wanted a server Mar 08 18:49:51 and yeah steve___ I think i'm probably done with this one Mar 08 18:50:25 anyway, i'd rather a mac mini. Mar 08 18:50:34 and install centos or fbsd on it. Mar 08 18:50:48 Dont understand that pogoplug, and it cant be good. Mar 08 18:51:11 its a 1.2ghz arm computer running a linux install, but with a power input and a nic. Mar 08 18:51:32 ie, its what you had with an n900, but without needing to run everything through a microusb port. Mar 08 18:51:32 Can I wipe it and install w/e i want on it ? Mar 08 18:51:36 and costs 1/10th as much Mar 08 18:51:41 yet again: Mar 08 18:51:43 YES! Mar 08 18:51:46 ah, ok. Mar 08 18:51:48 Now i get it. Mar 08 18:52:54 nidO: and what would be the hardware difference between the different pogoplugs? Mar 08 18:53:17 as i cant find any 'spec' Mar 08 18:53:54 apart from wifi that i can see here Mar 08 18:54:53 nidO: cause that's what i thought: http://www.seagate.com/www/en-us/products/network_storage/freeagent_dockstar/ Mar 08 18:55:15 and you can get that for $20 Mar 08 18:55:41 matthias-: basically, the only difference is the cheap one has no wifi, afaik other than that theyre the same] Mar 08 18:56:11 kk Mar 08 19:06:32 Sc0rpius: it doesn't "ask" normally, but i have pinned down my apt preferences to Extras, that's why it HAM "ask"ed if it's ok Mar 08 19:21:23 is there a way to restor scratchbox to its default? Mar 08 20:13:48 oh copying files to mounted usb device takes no cpu whee Mar 08 20:19:39 join #mercurial Mar 08 20:19:50 * timeless_w7ip sighs Mar 08 20:27:42 Heh Mar 08 20:30:44 timeless_w7ip: i keep going back to your browser. trying other stuff is fun but they don't work as well for me Mar 08 20:31:28 * timeless_w7ip nods Mar 08 20:32:19 it isn't perfect, but perfect is the enemy of good Mar 08 20:34:39 so true! Mar 08 20:37:30 hy everbody Mar 08 20:37:54 hola Mar 08 20:38:16 I just updated my qt creator and the N900 as target platform disappeared. how do I get it back? Mar 08 20:40:09 dunno, restore from backup Mar 08 20:41:36 in the setup I can still set the pw for usb connection to the device. but I can only select the simulator Mar 08 20:42:27 maybe qt creator has dropped n900 support Mar 08 20:45:20 that's what I'm thinking as well Mar 08 20:47:05 maybe there is a way to setup N900 as target again? Mar 08 20:48:10 i never used it Mar 08 20:51:47 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZlLNVmaPbM humanoid robot facial expressions Mar 08 21:09:05 i wish for a bigger n900. that screen is just so small Mar 08 21:09:10 :D Mar 08 21:09:16 the nPad Mar 08 21:10:31 it's 9cm diagonal - 12cm would still fit in pocket Mar 08 21:14:15 well, what do you think about maemo/meego beyond nokia? given someone is willing to sponsor a port to a mtk or qualcomm custom-made "chinese" phone? Mar 08 21:15:24 i'm afraid maemo has too much closed stuff Mar 08 21:16:04 pupnik, mostly hardware-related, if we drop nokia it should not be an issue Mar 08 21:16:12 most other things are replaceable Mar 08 21:16:23 lemme ask the guy who knows Mar 08 21:19:05 he doesn't know :) Mar 08 21:19:10 heh did you see this? http://www.sciphonereviews.com/zte/zte-v7-new-chinese-mid-3g-using-maemo-os Mar 08 21:19:33 Sebastian Nyström - Nokia's new Head of MeeGo, Qt and WebKit Mar 08 21:19:42 what would be the point of that Mar 08 21:20:36 i think there's a good portion of nokia that still wants an alternative to MS Mar 08 21:20:37 4.1" is kinda tiny Mar 08 21:20:47 I would like a Maemo 7" tablet Mar 08 21:20:49 i'd rather have ~5" Mar 08 21:20:58 I want ~35" Mar 08 21:21:05 Sc0rpius: talk to Smoku - he has meego running on the archos 7" tablet Mar 08 21:21:10 And no heavier than about 350g Mar 08 21:21:18 archos 7.0 is 33og Mar 08 21:21:27 More sanely. Mar 08 21:21:32 that would be nice too pupnik Mar 08 21:21:39 I've heard those Archos tablets are nice Mar 08 21:21:39 The ipad 2 is a nice bit of hardware. Mar 08 21:21:41 i miss the keyboard though Mar 08 21:21:57 Apple = crap Mar 08 21:21:59 I would want a keyboard though. Mar 08 21:22:14 a tablet-only thing is like "ok i can watch movies" Mar 08 21:22:26 whereas the n900 in the hand is actually usable in shell Mar 08 21:22:38 your thumbs don't obscure screen Mar 08 21:22:41 tablets are nice for Skype, web browsing and email READING (not composing) Mar 08 21:22:47 mhm Mar 08 21:22:50 Ipad with a clip-on keyboard. Mar 08 21:22:50 so they are nice devices to have in your nightstand before sleep Mar 08 21:23:07 precisely Sc0rpius Mar 08 21:23:13 well, there are some guys who are interested in making a real opensource phone. Mar 08 21:23:26 much better than nokia could offer ever Mar 08 21:23:28 I have a Lenovo Ideapad netbook in my nightstand Mar 08 21:23:29 Arkenoi: Low quantity phones are _HARD_ Mar 08 21:23:38 but sometimes I don't turn it now since using the N900 is faster Mar 08 21:23:47 Arkenoi: To make a n900 class phone, you are looking at a large slice of $1m. Mar 08 21:23:55 Probably over 100% Mar 08 21:24:05 seems cheap even Mar 08 21:24:07 This is neglecting the software. Mar 08 21:24:13 I thought the Nexus One was a real opensouce phone Mar 08 21:24:13 SpeedEvil, i just played a but with android based iphone clone. it is damn impressive for its < $200 price range. Mar 08 21:24:16 opensource Mar 08 21:24:19 too bad it runs Android Mar 08 21:24:28 Arkenoi: Sure. Mar 08 21:24:42 I guess as those clones are countless they must be pretty low budget each Mar 08 21:24:44 Arkenoi: Now convince a maker to give you hardware specs, and supply blank ones. Mar 08 21:25:04 SpeedEvil, that's what they are going to do. Mar 08 21:25:08 The chinese industry is even worse at openness thanapple. Mar 08 21:25:11 In general. Mar 08 21:25:48 SpeedEvil, i know. it must be totally dependant on communication skills: if it already does run some flavor of linux, why not open the whole thing? Mar 08 21:25:57 I would like a Linux tablet. That includes Maemo/Meego Mar 08 21:26:07 but Android sucks hard even with the Task Killer App Mar 08 21:26:35 A n900 tablet would be quite easy. Mar 08 21:26:38 Just replace the screen. Mar 08 21:26:43 Technically. Mar 08 21:26:43 SoC specs are pretty much open already? so there should not be many closed components? Mar 08 21:27:17 you may change imei with mere AT command, it's nice Mar 08 21:27:20 Arkenoi: In some ways true - in practice, it can geta whole lot more involved. Mar 08 21:27:47 dual gsm radio is standard there as well Mar 08 21:29:41 SpeedEvil: the archos gen8 tablets are omap3 - basically n900s Mar 08 21:30:06 but no 3g, no keyboard Mar 08 21:32:49 3G in a tablet is not important to me since I don't have any intentions to take it outside Mar 08 21:33:01 then why not use a real laptop Mar 08 21:33:05 the N900 is already great on that and having 2 devices on the road is bad Mar 08 21:33:06 which is *vastly* better? Mar 08 21:33:22 laptops are hot and heav Mar 08 21:33:24 havey Mar 08 21:33:26 heavy Mar 08 21:33:42 not a nice device to take it with you to the kitchen, bathroom, and minutes before sleep Mar 08 21:33:47 well, i have a lap and multiple tables in my home Mar 08 21:34:04 heh, what do you know, i *am* minutes before sleep and i'm on my laptop Mar 08 21:34:07 on my bed Mar 08 21:34:14 laptops are for serious working, tablets are for consulting info, tablets are not supposed to replace laptops Mar 08 21:34:24 example: Mar 08 21:34:36 I would like to talk via Skype and walk through the house. With a laptop that is annyoing Mar 08 21:34:49 with the N900 + headset is great Mar 08 21:34:49 bluetooth headphones Mar 08 21:34:56 also n900, yeah Mar 08 21:35:00 bluetooth is just 10m and after 5m you can't hear a thing Mar 08 21:35:26 Sc0rpius: nokia needs people to head things Mar 08 21:35:32 a quick read of reddit.com in the kitchen while drinking a coffee = laptop sucks at that Mar 08 21:35:32 Sebastian came from Qt land Mar 08 21:35:45 Qt land hosts Nokia's WebKit, so giving him ownership is logical Mar 08 21:35:54 yeah but what I meant is Mar 08 21:35:55 wtf, how can you browse reddit on a tabled Mar 08 21:35:58 *tablet Mar 08 21:36:06 Nokia is cleary don't giving a f@#$ about Meego/QT/Maemo/Symbian Mar 08 21:36:15 so I don't understand this move Mar 08 21:36:17 Nokia MeeGo losts its leader and needed someone, since MeeGo is built around Qt, using the Qt leader here too is also logical Mar 08 21:36:18 my average number of open tabs when browsing reddit is like 35 Mar 08 21:36:25 they're all supposedly open source based projects Mar 08 21:37:51 sc0rpius: actually, writing simple to moderate email isn't bad either Mar 08 21:38:23 yup Mar 08 21:38:26 quick composing Mar 08 21:38:31 Arkenoi: Dual GSM - however - not 3G. Also - changing IMEI by AT command is illegal in the UK, and opens the seller up to all sorts of hastle. Mar 08 21:38:34 like "Yeah I'll take care of this tomorrow" heh Mar 08 21:38:55 (Striclty speaking, it's not illegal, it's illegal to sell after you realise that it's being use for nefarious acrtirvity) Mar 08 21:39:00 anyway I don't have a tablet (I have a netbook) Mar 08 21:39:15 SpeedEvil, we do not care about that. selling the device via mail order is just ok :-) Mar 08 21:39:17 * timeless_w7ip is using a Lenovo Ideapad :) Mar 08 21:39:47 oh me too :) Mar 08 21:40:16 sc0rpius: so... Mar 08 21:40:20 nokia cares about money Mar 08 21:40:20 not right now but I have one, a S10-2 Mar 08 21:40:28 it's in my nightstand Mar 08 21:40:38 Symbian is used by nokia to make devices, and devices when sold make money Mar 08 21:40:57 if nokia doesn't ship Symbian devices this year, it loses money on whatever it has done w/ Sybmian Mar 08 21:40:59 which would be bad Mar 08 21:41:18 similarly, nokia has invested in meego, and needs to ship a product to make money on its investment Mar 08 21:41:29 also don't forget Nokia is still the king of low-end devices that can't have WP7 Mar 08 21:41:47 actually the Meego thing is more contractual than looking to make money Mar 08 21:41:58 they are bound legally to release at least 1 Meego device this year Mar 08 21:42:09 Legally? Mar 08 21:42:16 afaik that's incorrect Mar 08 21:42:23 the word you'd want would be 'contractually' Mar 08 21:42:29 but i don't believe that's teh case Mar 08 21:42:30 otherwise Intel would sue (that's what I've heard) Mar 08 21:42:32 s/teh/the/ Mar 08 21:42:32 timeless_w7ip meant: but i don't believe that's the case Mar 08 21:42:36 yeah that contractually (my english is bad) Mar 08 21:43:20 i haven't seen any contracts, and if i had, i almost certainly wouldn't be able to speak on the subject (yay NDAs!) Mar 08 21:43:37 but i don't think you're right Mar 08 21:43:50 and i suspect i'm in a better position to know than you are Mar 08 21:44:18 well that might be the case, I just read stuff in the web Mar 08 21:44:28 I'm not involved with Nokia/Intel Mar 08 21:45:36 timeless_w7ip: Do the NDAs time-out - can you talk after X years? Mar 08 21:45:56 speedevil: hrm, dunno Mar 08 21:46:05 nvm - just idly wondering. Mar 08 21:46:17 generally after a certain point some things become public knowledge Mar 08 21:46:19 * SpeedEvil puts down the 2023 calendar and chloroform. Mar 08 21:46:23 and you can comment on public knowledge Mar 08 21:46:38 generally other parts of contracts only last a couple years past employment Mar 08 21:47:29 so you could probably say "group X did stupid thing Y" a couple of years after you leave the relevant employers Mar 08 21:48:28 I still think Intel should release a device of their own with an Intel Atom or something Mar 08 21:48:57 but since Intel doesn't build devices he has to have a partnership with somebody that does it Mar 08 21:51:08 it would be bad if intel made its own devices, because it would scare away potential vendors Mar 08 21:52:04 it would scare them away if they get ZTE or something weird as a partner Mar 08 21:52:08 anyway Mar 08 21:54:21 atom/x86 sucks :/ Mar 08 21:54:47 since I have a netbook, I like it Mar 08 21:54:51 :P Mar 08 22:18:25 ha, ha. Mar 08 22:18:53 so days after I made my snark comments about how the top android apps are gpl violations, some noname company does a full scan and finds that Mar 08 22:19:10 "71% of Android and iPhone apps containing open source failed to comply with the open source licenses that OpenLogic analyzed. " Mar 08 22:19:41 no shit sherlock! Mar 08 22:20:20 why do they fail to complay the license? because they are not releasing the source code involved? Mar 08 22:20:23 comply Mar 08 22:20:51 everybody does that, even Sony with their PS3 and using Apache libraries Mar 08 22:53:31 it's pretty amazing having 32GB in a phone Mar 08 23:07:24 ~optification Mar 08 23:07:25 optification is probably a inventive duct tape workaround to reclaim space in fs root, done due to the fact the partitioning is FUBAR, or http://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/Maemo_5_Developer_Guide/Packaging,_Deploying_and_Distributing/Installing_under_opt_and_MyDocs, or ""OMG - I wish somebody had looked into FHS and moved /usr to eMMC"", or http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#PURPOSE2 bullet1,2 and fhs-2.3.html#PURPOSE16 sentence3 Mar 08 23:07:27 ~fhs Mar 08 23:07:27 from memory, fhs is the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard and is at http://www.pathname.com/fhs/, or included in the debian-policy package Mar 08 23:09:28 ~fsm Mar 08 23:09:29 [fsm] The Flying Spaghetti Monster, the deity of the internet Mar 08 23:33:31 take a look at http://gnome3.org/ -> why does it remind me of Hildon-Desktop? Mar 09 00:03:09 wow, 1994 says hello with a .gif product banner http://blackberry.phonearena.com/ Mar 09 00:22:17 lardman|gone: Tame Impala (youtube it) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tame_Impala Mar 09 00:23:20 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyphonic_spree Mar 09 00:27:13 same style? Mar 09 00:27:36 Impala - really great psychedelic retro http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJ3LvVHYMM8 Mar 09 02:33:39 Dammit Mar 09 02:33:46 I think the cargerport is breaking Mar 09 02:36:42 and your h key. Mar 09 02:37:33 Yeah, I cleaned the keyboard, after I was done I had two less keys xD Mar 09 02:38:21 lolcat, i have found certain usb cables themselves get bent out of shape Mar 09 02:45:31 I have tried two diffrent usb chargers and the wall charger Mar 09 02:45:45 I have another usb cable in my car but I guess that won't help Mar 09 02:46:04 Should the ligth be constant yellow while charging? Mar 09 02:47:17 i would buy a USB cable with a shorter lead Mar 09 02:47:17 i think it is constant when totally flat and off? and pulsing normally Mar 09 02:47:25 I guess I have to return it :/ Mar 09 02:47:50 Probably the easiest course of action Mar 09 02:48:07 "It won't charge, fix it" -"uhm, ok" Mar 09 02:48:20 Wait a week and they have done something/ give me my moneys back Mar 09 02:49:10 But then I will be stuck with some shit phone for a week **** ENDING LOGGING AT Wed Mar 09 02:59:57 2011
