Apr 26 08:14:17 lol Apr 26 08:14:29 ~rda Apr 26 08:15:00 infobot doesn't know Apr 26 08:15:00 doesn't know is probably not at all Apr 26 08:16:28 remote device access Apr 26 08:42:21 Does anyone know any other options to sync google calendar and Maemo/N900 except the integrated exchange-thing that works only once and then dies and doesn't sync ever any more.. Apr 26 08:48:10 rhkfin_: yes Apr 26 08:48:26 rhkfin_: i use sync evolution on a daily schedule Apr 26 08:48:32 seems to work Apr 26 08:48:44 sync evolution, will check.. Apr 26 08:49:56 piggz so that syncs directly with Google, over the air? Apr 26 08:50:27 piggz, what do you sync with? Apr 26 08:51:29 yay! mBarcode fixed! Apr 26 08:51:57 mece: what do you use mBarcode for? installed & seems to work but haven't figured what to use it for.. Apr 26 08:53:06 rhkfin_: yes Apr 26 08:53:12 mece: google Apr 26 08:54:04 Will try Apr 26 08:55:21 piggz: http://wiki.maemo.org/Sync/Usage_of_syncevolution#Syncevolution-Frontend says 'Google - NOTE: ONLY CONTACTS CAN BE SYNC'd Apr 26 08:55:43 rhkfin_: oh, hangon... Apr 26 08:56:06 rhkfin_: my bad,.....erminig Apr 26 08:56:12 ah, right.... Apr 26 08:56:58 rhkfin_, paying bills Apr 26 08:57:22 mece: interesting!! I've been wondering why bar code scanners are so expensive.. Apr 26 08:57:32 rhkfin_: erminig syncs fine, but can only sync daily, not hourly etc.. Apr 26 08:57:54 piggz: any idea where's the limitation from? Apr 26 09:01:35 rhkfin_, well it didn't work all that well with the old one because the barcodes on bills are so damn long, the resolution was too low. So I had to take a picture and scan the picture. We discussed it with lardman and he said he'd try to come up with some solution Apr 26 09:01:59 great Apr 26 09:06:01 rhkfin_: not sure, thats what the gui provides Apr 26 09:06:31 ok Apr 26 09:16:17 piggz: "Erminig's UI allows the specification of a daily sync at a specified time. For more fine grained control, the command erminig -a can be used with a scheduler such as Alarmed" Apr 26 09:16:44 rhkfin_: ah, cool Apr 26 09:25:16 hi Apr 26 09:52:48 anyone worked with hal before? Apr 26 09:53:48 Sorry, MohammadAG, I can't let you do that. Apr 26 09:54:45 you're a bit late, I'm already done :p Apr 26 09:55:00 except the property changed signal callback isn't getting through Apr 26 09:59:30 MohammadAG: You fixed hal? Apr 26 10:14:14 lolcat, is it broken? Apr 26 10:14:37 MohammadAG: HAL is AWFULL Apr 26 10:14:38 it hangs Apr 26 10:14:43 it doesn't show programs Apr 26 10:14:50 It works about 1/4 of the times Apr 26 10:16:26 lolcat, well that's not my concern :p Apr 26 10:16:48 MohammadAG: Doh Apr 26 10:16:55 What are you coding then? Apr 26 10:16:59 I'm rewriting the battery applet http://i55.tinypic.com/20tjptu.jpg Apr 26 10:17:28 MohammadAG: How can it know how many mAh my battery has? Apr 26 10:17:35 bme Apr 26 10:17:47 lshal | grep battery Apr 26 10:17:53 So I just stick in a random battery and it knows? Oo Apr 26 10:18:36 It can't Apr 26 10:18:36 ls Apr 26 10:18:48 the battery capacity fromlshal is a lie Apr 26 10:19:01 I thought bme gets confused with fake batteries Apr 26 10:19:02 My phone won't even charge Apr 26 10:19:15 it gets confused with all batteries Apr 26 10:19:24 It's gotten fromafixedresistor thatismeasuredbythen900 inthe battery Apr 26 10:19:38 There is no smart battery readout in the battery at all. Apr 26 10:19:55 The only way to tell the capacity of the battery wouild be impeddence spectroscdopy Apr 26 10:20:00 spectroscopy Apr 26 10:20:05 Or discharging it Apr 26 10:20:32 anyway, I'm not sure why battery_status_plugin_hal_property_modified_cb isn't being called Apr 26 10:20:38 it's what's basically left, besides sound Apr 26 10:21:31 The battery applet uses sound? Apr 26 10:21:34 Hm... might it not be possible to calculate the capacity(or at least internal resistance) from the voltage drop based on load? That is, over a short period of time, monitor the voltage differences as compared to the load in mA. Apr 26 10:22:04 yes Apr 26 10:22:11 it triggers the Battery low thing Apr 26 10:22:13 Knowing the original capacity - what the resistor said - you should be able to calculate the current capacityt Apr 26 10:22:23 robbiethe1st: That is impedence spectroscopy Apr 26 10:22:28 robbiethe1st: Sort-of Apr 26 10:22:41 Hm, ok Apr 26 10:22:55 robbiethe1st: That sort-of-works - but naieve implementations confuse battery age and capacity Apr 26 10:23:19 MohammadAG: are you iusing the battery monitor chip - or believeing BME? Apr 26 10:23:32 SpeedEvil, DocScrutinizer told me to use hal/dbus Apr 26 10:23:49 Fair enough, for a 0th cut. Apr 26 10:23:56 Also - anyone can replace. Apr 26 10:24:06 Also, it would be nice to have it set things to 100% when the battery finishes charging; I mean... it's 100% of the /current/ capacity, more or less Apr 26 10:24:36 my game uses 370mA :( Apr 26 10:24:51 which library plays sound? Apr 26 10:25:02 actually which lib has init_sound, play_sound Apr 26 10:25:14 * DocScrutinizer you called my name? Apr 26 10:25:39 yes :p Apr 26 10:25:50 I think I will get a refund for my N900. Should I wait for the N950 or? Apr 26 10:26:11 what N950? Apr 26 10:26:19 N9? Apr 26 10:26:25 what N9? Apr 26 10:26:35 There are rumours about a model with Maemo 6 or MeeGo Apr 26 10:26:35 The next meego/harmattan phone? Apr 26 10:26:46 They call it "N950" Apr 26 10:27:09 what next generation phone? :P Apr 26 10:27:23 what harmattan? Apr 26 10:27:36 * lolcat runs towards webos Apr 26 10:27:57 http://www.serbagadget.com/news/nokia-n950-calon-smartphone-meego-pengganti-n900/?lang=en Apr 26 10:27:59 Not really Apr 26 10:28:07 I like the N900. Apr 26 10:28:08 Blah-blah-blah. I don't believe them Apr 26 10:28:34 A better battery + dual core + 1 gb ram would be nice Apr 26 10:28:41 The official nokia position is that tehre will be one meego device this year. Apr 26 10:28:51 toaster Apr 26 10:28:55 And then it will be relegated to a research project. Apr 26 10:29:11 The currentt best guess isthat this will be a phone. Apr 26 10:29:16 SpeedEvil: then there will be one harmattan and one meego?! Apr 26 10:29:23 It could be a t-shirt too of course. Apr 26 10:29:28 lolcat, dude it's Nokia, it'll have half the ram required to run a web browser, or less, like all Nokias to date ;p Apr 26 10:29:34 chem|st: meego is a wierd name. Apr 26 10:29:38 no, a refrigerator Apr 26 10:29:46 It doesn't mean the same UI and software under it. Apr 26 10:29:55 actually I think Elop said "MeeGo related" product Apr 26 10:29:56 harmattan = meego inthis case AIUI Apr 26 10:29:59 SpeedEvil: harmattan != meego Apr 26 10:30:04 ShadowJK: indeed Apr 26 10:30:19 ShadowJK: MeeGo related xD A poster or soemthing Apr 26 10:30:25 ShadowJK: At one point inthe talk he did actually confim it was a phone. Apr 26 10:30:31 Well - to my eyes. Apr 26 10:30:43 Harmattan = MeeGo + some BS Apr 26 10:30:48 Why doesn't anyone make good phones? Apr 26 10:30:52 Or someone from nokia during the same announcement. Apr 26 10:30:54 MohammadAG: ehrm nope Apr 26 10:31:02 yes Apr 26 10:31:16 MohammadAG: I thought harmattan is maemo + some meego BS Apr 26 10:31:20 no, but timeless confirmed they didn't change their main development aim Apr 26 10:31:23 it's MeeGo with a custom UI and closed source crap Apr 26 10:31:29 Atleast originally Harmattan was going to be Maemo + MeeGo compat layer.. Apr 26 10:31:42 hahaha Apr 26 10:31:43 My hope is that WP7 bombs, and they launch a wider variety of handets with meego. Apr 26 10:31:51 But... Apr 26 10:31:57 MohammadAG: but it's still .deb based, would be wierd to use meego build in .deb Apr 26 10:31:58 Qt4.7.2-borked-final Apr 26 10:32:46 it'll be a maemo with meego UX and RPM Apr 26 10:32:56 and 48963 bugs Apr 26 10:33:37 Qt 4.7.2 is fine Apr 26 10:33:47 Except MeeGo UX is kinda useless, nobody would actually use that... so what's left if you replace the base with Maemo, and replace the interface and apps with Nokia stuff? All you have left is the MeeGo name :o Apr 26 10:33:47 no wait. It will get cancelled in August Apr 26 10:33:53 building it on x86 works fine Apr 26 10:33:54 armel has issues Apr 26 10:34:42 MeeGo has a bad UI? Apr 26 10:34:51 Haha Apr 26 10:35:20 bad is an understatement Apr 26 10:35:32 sure, it looks good, but it lacks way too much Apr 26 10:35:40 Bah Apr 26 10:35:46 hm I wonder if nok is going to close the Salo factory... Apr 26 10:35:50 I have to admit though, the UX libs are epic Apr 26 10:35:53 I love the maemo UI Apr 26 10:35:58 those suckers! instead of opening up the last few bits of maemo, passing it to community, and providing a BSP with all their future smartphones, they repelled all devels from maemo to use meego, and now they give meego a first class funeral Apr 26 10:36:00 (MTF) Apr 26 10:37:34 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFCmCcK_OKw :) Apr 26 10:37:45 Why won't they open it up if they don't want to use it? Apr 26 10:40:50 Hm Apr 26 10:40:59 fakeroot debian/rules clean Apr 26 10:40:59 dh clean Apr 26 10:40:59 Unknown option: w Apr 26 10:41:15 wtf Apr 26 10:41:36 so now they pay a few poor souls to roll out a hybrid meego-harmattan edition of a maturity *way* worse than PR1.0 on N900, then say "that's it folks! now we've proven all the FOSS is a delusion. Take it and have fun" - what of course a few morons will do to create a 7th alternative smartphone OS antivendor port that never will fly Apr 26 10:42:54 What is wrong with N900 maemo? Apr 26 10:43:09 I wonder how many billions Samsung paid them to act like this Apr 26 10:43:14 Sure it has it kinks, but I would't trade it for anything else I have tried... Apr 26 10:43:38 >> What is wrong with N900 maemo? Apr 26 10:43:49 nuttin Apr 26 10:43:52 It's STILL a fork of Debian Sarge Apr 26 10:44:16 Would it be a lot of work to swap to Lenny? Apr 26 10:44:24 Yep Apr 26 10:44:38 And still, isn't Sarge stable and nice? Apr 26 10:44:45 Try to "port" something from Debian experimental repository Apr 26 10:44:57 Or from squeeze at least Apr 26 10:45:10 Stable debian then? Apr 26 10:45:13 And you will realize, "what's wrong" Apr 26 10:45:35 Old debhelper, old build tools... Apr 26 10:46:06 that's not a problem of kernel, that's a problem of the closed blobs that won't work on a stock .37 Apr 26 10:46:35 Yep Apr 26 10:46:46 basically it's 'easy' to get newest kernel to run on N900 Apr 26 10:47:10 BTW debian squeeze can run on maemo kernel Apr 26 10:47:18 but you also want to use it as a PHONE Apr 26 10:47:23 Yep Apr 26 10:47:27 http://www.yle.fi/uutiset/news/2011/04/nokia_to_announce_job_cuts_on_wednesday_2542481.html Apr 26 10:47:32 DocScrutinizer: But to upgrade the system you need to update all packages Apr 26 10:47:32 With powersaving Apr 26 10:47:56 It's possible to bring old closed binaries to the new infrastructure Apr 26 10:48:12 But it can break a lot of third-party software Apr 26 10:48:13 FTFA: "Nokia has reserved the nearly 12,000-seat Turkuhalli for the event" <- now that is some serious job cutting! Apr 26 10:48:19 with lots of backports Apr 26 10:48:38 Backporting is painful, you know Apr 26 10:48:48 mece: They also bought 49Kg of HCN Apr 26 10:49:09 a PITA Apr 26 10:49:21 HCN? Apr 26 10:49:33 esp since our kernel devels seem to always take pride in incompatible new APIs Apr 26 10:49:43 I think it would be easier to make own debian packaging instead of backporting them from upstream Apr 26 10:50:11 In some cases Apr 26 10:50:37 yeah, i was suggesting it was an ausrottung in turku Apr 26 10:50:40 SpeedEvil, HCN? Apr 26 10:50:50 hydrogen cyanide Apr 26 10:50:53 Is the android phone-stuff open-source? Apr 26 10:50:54 ah Apr 26 10:51:09 lolcat: nope Apr 26 10:51:23 WebOS phone-stuff? Apr 26 10:51:25 some proprietary binaries too Apr 26 10:51:32 Any open-source implementations of phone-stuff? Apr 26 10:51:36 lolcat, WebOS is closed source Apr 26 10:51:41 lolcat, MeeGo Apr 26 10:51:42 just yesterday I discussed the ALSA fsckup in new kernels on N900, several controls vanished, new ones added, you can't use a statefile of .28-maemo on a plain sane .37 kernel Apr 26 10:52:42 DocScrutinizer: You work for Nokia? Apr 26 10:52:42 --> no sound on calls despite the SHR guys managed to talk to modem now Apr 26 10:53:15 DocScrutinizer, also on it's own is brain broken Apr 26 10:53:20 erm alsa even Apr 26 10:54:06 alsa has an incredibly clumsy concept, but it works Apr 26 10:54:14 pukeaudio doesn't Apr 26 10:54:28 Latest versions seems to work Apr 26 10:54:47 But I have no intention of having it even on my laptop Apr 26 10:55:09 DocScrutinizer, oss just works ;) Apr 26 10:55:19 lol Apr 26 10:55:31 though frankly it seems that all audio systems break something on each update Apr 26 10:55:53 * ruskie has been using oss4 on all his systems since they went gpl Apr 26 10:56:38 othen than maemo5... Apr 26 10:57:18 I wish I didn't have to part with my N900 Apr 26 10:57:25 But I will earn a bit on it Apr 26 10:57:28 why do you need to? Apr 26 10:57:32 ruskie: seeing as I can't find much information about it, do you know if there's any OSS4 support for hardware MIDI synth? Apr 26 10:57:45 no clue... never used it... Apr 26 10:57:59 ruskie: THe charging port is broken again... So it is the 3rd repair Apr 26 10:58:14 :( Apr 26 10:58:43 I guess I'm lucky in that regard *knock on wood* Apr 26 10:58:48 Same Apr 26 10:59:03 * keks-n have used a file to make the cable leave the port easy Apr 26 10:59:07 And I want a refund because the shop bullshits me and let me borrow a HTC Magick when I sent it in. Apr 26 10:59:55 You can still get in at eBay Apr 26 11:00:16 About $350 with shipment Apr 26 11:00:24 I know a shop that can get me an unused one with 5 year 'warranty' for about haf I bougth mine for Apr 26 11:00:55 Make sure to use BackupMenu then. :P Apr 26 11:01:09 I need a good backup Apr 26 11:01:17 Now I have finaly fixed my contacts Apr 26 11:01:29 MeeGo resque kernel + sd card + dd Apr 26 11:01:46 best backup way ever Apr 26 11:01:57 dding what? Apr 26 11:02:10 don't dd the mtds Apr 26 11:02:30 Ehm. I've dd'ed mtdXro Apr 26 11:02:32 why? Apr 26 11:02:56 * MohammadAG pokes DocScrutinizer Apr 26 11:03:02 They seem to be safe for read-only access Apr 26 11:03:10 there are tools to dump/write to MTD blocks Apr 26 11:03:16 dding them can break things Apr 26 11:03:41 (I had to erase my MTD blocks once, after using backupmenu to restore an image) Apr 26 11:03:56 Ok, you can use tar czf Apr 26 11:04:33 YOU SHALL Not dd raw Nan.... *cough* Apr 26 11:04:50 And mtdutils to create a flashable rootfs image Apr 26 11:05:38 now that'd be awesome Apr 26 11:06:59 happy birthday Chernobyl Apr 26 11:09:24 Did you hear about Wormhood star? Apr 26 11:09:25 ballpark numbers: (500NPP worldwide * 25Years/Class7 event)^-1 *~100.000 liquidators died = 10 fatalities / NPP-year Apr 26 11:09:55 The star form the Book of Revelation Apr 26 11:10:24 Chernobyl means wormhood in ukrainian Apr 26 11:13:41 BTW I still cann't get access to extras-devel. Requested it last thursday -_- Apr 26 11:21:36 http://bikerscafeblog.com/2010/07/11/biologic-reecharge-cool/ Apr 26 11:21:42 for the bikers, looks cool Apr 26 11:22:14 wow Apr 26 11:23:04 meh, the robocop charger Apr 26 11:25:42 keks-n, the whah? Wormhood who? Apr 26 11:26:21 sorry, "wormwood" Apr 26 11:26:24 <_berto_> you mean wormwood Apr 26 11:26:28 yep Apr 26 11:27:16 keks-n, ok so what about it? Apr 26 11:28:25 >> "And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters; And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter." (Revelation 8:10, 11 - KJB). Apr 26 11:28:56 That actually refers to the Schwepps factory. Apr 26 11:29:00 ok.. yes, and what about it? Apr 26 11:29:03 lol Apr 26 11:29:12 >> Chernobyl means wormhood in ukrainian Apr 26 11:29:18 -_- Apr 26 11:29:20 revelations is hilariously trippy btw :D Apr 26 11:29:22 *wormwood Apr 26 11:29:24 Are we having an apocalypse universary today? Apr 26 11:29:30 keks-n, hah built to fail :D Apr 26 11:29:37 * SpeedEvil looks around for Norns. Apr 26 11:29:52 anniversary sorry Apr 26 11:30:43 Something like that Apr 26 11:35:14 RST38h: 25y Chernobyl Apr 26 11:37:32 sorry for OT Apr 26 11:38:20 was baffled by my own balpark evaluation of one fatality per month on every nuklear power plant Apr 26 11:40:19 DocScrutinizer, is that a lot or a little? Apr 26 11:41:00 the same figure for coal power is something like 20-100 I bet Apr 26 11:41:45 which isn't a problem in Russia and China, in EU would reduce the ROI balance of those powerplants by a few percent on usual recompensations about <10^6EUR/fatality, but in USA it might break the power companies' back Apr 26 11:43:03 ShadowJK: 20..100 fatalities per month and coal poer plant? c'mon Apr 26 11:43:42 oh I thought you meant global fatalities per month Apr 26 11:43:52 not per month per plant Apr 26 11:44:58 ShadowJK: not yet, you have to wait til whole bangladesh gets killed by rising sea due to global warming, then you might reach a 20/plant-month Apr 26 11:45:37 Well I was guessng few hundred coal miner fatalities per year Apr 26 11:47:01 I was guessing a 100.000 liquidators every 25 years Apr 26 11:47:37 and a 500 NPPs on earth Apr 26 11:50:27 NPP? Apr 26 11:51:01 nuclear power plant Apr 26 11:54:58 what is the difference between using gobject.timeout_add() and alarmd event? Apr 26 12:01:19 good question. Probably gobject.timeout is a simple kernel timer, while alarmd is a real RTC alarm that fires even when device is shut off Apr 26 12:04:04 thanks Apr 26 12:15:18 heh. that's amusing.. I set out a sequence of web tasks to complete, timed it with different devices and browsers, /ignoring/ browser startup time Apr 26 12:15:40 N810 MicroB: 2.5 minutes. N900/M5 MicroB: 1.5m, N900/M5 Opera: 1m, N900/M5 Fennec: 2.5m Apr 26 12:16:25 To be fair, N810 cheated a bit. on N900 I have to zoom in/out, but not on N810 Apr 26 12:17:17 On the maemo wiki - is there a way to get a list of a users edits? Apr 26 12:17:40 nvm Apr 26 12:17:42 gotit Apr 26 12:18:46 the defined tasks being simple: open a webshop, click category, click subcategory, open new tab/window for 3 products, close first tab/window, find price, stock level, date on all 3 and close. Apr 26 12:19:02 fairly common browser use I'd think? Apr 26 12:19:45 If you singletask, fennec is slightly less bad. :p Apr 26 12:20:45 (but opera is more awesome even because back button is near instant) Apr 26 12:21:08 I would asume because it keeps it in memory all the time Apr 26 12:21:22 can I get any sql help regrding the calender here?

I'd guess it has some examples in their code that are useful Apr 26 12:58:28 Hey all Apr 26 12:58:36 !extras Apr 26 12:59:39 are extra-devel and extra-testing working? I just formated my device and after adding those 2 packages they r not working. The Maemo Extras is working fine. Apr 26 13:10:42 "My girlfriend and I love to role play during sex.

Why has it survived this long? Apr 26 13:32:50 I'm experiencing some problems with Maemo's autobuilder. I've just uploaded my first package and only the i386 package fails to build. A thread at TMO suggests it is a problem with the autobuilder. Could someone take a look at it, please? Logs are here: https://garage.maemo.org/builder/fremantle/schedtool_1.3.0-1maemo1/ Apr 26 13:33:26 This is the thread at TMO I'm referring to: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=54935 Apr 26 13:33:37 Hi !

Apr 26 13:51:18 lmao Apr 26 13:51:24 any qt ap has the bug :D Apr 26 13:56:14 merlin1991: they are just trying to close the thing without taking a look at it Apr 26 13:56:27 yea Apr 26 13:56:35 even thought it's a huge issue Apr 26 13:56:59 merlin1991: maemo is clearly not anymore a target for them Apr 26 13:57:39 merlin1991: i think the next message will be that they can't reproduce the problem with maemo clean install pr1.3 :) Apr 26 13:58:36 merlin1991: less funny is that from what i see from the email subject : [Qt bugreports] Resolved: Apr 26 13:58:44 clearly not the case Apr 26 13:59:43 Damn. They seem to ignore me. Still have no access to extras-devel >_< Apr 26 13:59:58 ? Apr 26 14:00:01 keks-n: what do you mean? Apr 26 14:00:20 I sent a request last thursday Apr 26 14:00:24 keks-n: Sorry, I'm ignoring you because I need to discuss this with the council. Apr 26 14:00:40 Oh Apr 26 14:00:44 X-Fade: cloak? ;) Apr 26 14:00:44 I understand Apr 26 14:01:08 keks-n: As you are intending to commit a big mess into non-free which is potentially a big problem when you mess up :) Apr 26 14:01:25 I already have compiled it in the scratchbox Apr 26 14:01:31 Mono 2.10.1 Apr 26 14:01:37 From debian experimental Apr 26 14:01:52 ^^^ now i understand why you are ignored ... mono ... Apr 26 14:01:52 :) Apr 26 14:02:11 * Khertan is going out .... [...] Apr 26 14:02:25 Using two source packages, one for i386 and any (managed packages) and another for armel (base runtime only) Apr 26 14:02:37 Well non-free is essentially unmanaged. And I really don't want to risk any problems there when there is no clear demand. Apr 26 14:02:40 keks-n: mono isn't free ? Apr 26 14:02:56 Now I can provide source packages Apr 26 14:03:13 And even GTK bindings compiles under ARM scratchbox now Apr 26 14:03:22 >> keks-n: mono isn't free ? Apr 26 14:03:23 keks-n: But it won't build on the free builder then? Apr 26 14:03:35 I wanted to use managed binaries from Ubuntu Apr 26 14:03:47 It will build under free builder Apr 26 14:04:15 It compiles i386 runtime first and create a "blob" with all needed libraries Apr 26 14:04:26 This blob can be installed then into arm scratchbox Apr 26 14:04:53 And because of using qemu-user it will run i386 runtime binaries Apr 26 14:05:15 So I can provide source packages for the whole mono runtime and GTK bindings Apr 26 14:05:17 keks-n: That sounds like a big mess :) Apr 26 14:05:59 My problem is solved; after changing "Maemo-Display-Name" to "XB-Maemo-Display-Name" in debian/control the autobuilder did build my package for all architectures. Still don't know why only the i386 build failed earlier (might have been a random autobuilder problem?). Anyway, all fine now :) Apr 26 14:06:24 As I read in the wiki, it's possible to build only for one architecture. So I used this "feature" for 2-step compilation Apr 26 14:06:25 hi all Apr 26 14:06:51 in continue to last question regarding the difference between gobject.timeout_add and alarmd Apr 26 14:07:31 assume I know when is my next meeting in unixepoc time, how can I put my code to sleep untill then? Apr 26 14:16:10 cityLights: The difference between the next meeting time and the current time is the number of seconds between them. Apr 26 14:16:59 You can then have your program wait that number of seconds. Apr 26 14:17:21 Which programming language are you using? I assume you're executing that program on a Maemo device. Apr 26 14:18:06 holly shit, ported directfb to see it's dumbass banner, no system found! it's all fake n900 Apr 26 14:19:46 Why do you want to use directfb instead of opengl? Apr 26 14:20:38 Or sdl Apr 26 14:21:13 billmania: indeed i can calculate the time diffrence then use gobject.timeout_add to wait that amount of time Apr 26 14:21:18 using pythin now Apr 26 14:21:21 python Apr 26 14:22:15 cityLights: Then you're all set. time.sleep(numberOfSecondsToWait) Apr 26 14:23:33 can't I just handle it out to the time to call a method when the amout of time passed? Apr 26 14:23:43 then i can do other stuff Apr 26 14:24:36 cityLights: Of course. That requires the handling of the SIGALRM signal and a callback function. You said you wanted to put your program to sleep, however. Sounds like you instead want to do something else until that time elapses. Apr 26 14:25:23 I will paste this here in a few min Apr 26 14:25:34 need to see it working first Apr 26 14:26:13 system question: how to run a program from the shell remotely? Apr 26 14:26:34 I try ssh user@n900 'command' and it doesnt work Apr 26 14:27:54 What does it print? Apr 26 14:28:11 X-Fade: hi! :-) Apr 26 14:28:12 cityLights: it is root@n900 usualy Apr 26 14:28:18 DocScrutinizer: hi Apr 26 14:28:26 chem|st: hi Apr 26 14:28:35 cityLights: there you su - user Apr 26 14:29:11 cityLights: ssh is forbidden for user by default either you change that first or go the "root" way Apr 26 14:29:39 o ok Apr 26 14:32:17 *sigh* Apr 26 14:33:20 ~hello Apr 26 14:33:20 Howdy Bub Apr 26 14:33:50 DocScrutinizer: infobot still dead? Apr 26 14:33:59 again Apr 26 14:34:18 oh again is even more painfull than "still" Apr 26 14:34:19 as currentdB.exectue() returns a sqlite3 object, how can I read the first item in it without a for loop?

Apr 26 14:40:03 nfc really - at least they're not supposed to afaik Apr 26 14:40:11 see #maemo Apr 26 14:40:19 smooph_web: hmm Apr 26 14:40:57 hmm, good question Apr 26 14:41:09 I took a look around but the "Show captured Video" is about after the recording Apr 26 14:41:11 reduce backlight to minimum is probably best you can do Apr 26 14:41:25 DocScrutinizer: already did that Apr 26 14:42:09 2 hour class works ... battery backup for the next one is bought but the 3hour one doesn't work Apr 26 14:42:39 USB power pack? Apr 26 14:42:49 right now I am draining my laptops battery with the usb port to give my n900 that little bit of extra juice Apr 26 14:43:01 or that Apr 26 14:43:17 I assume you need video, not audio? Apr 26 14:43:24 correct Apr 26 14:43:51 well, camera chip and compressing eat some energy Apr 26 14:43:58 no matter what Apr 26 14:44:22 of course but I suspect the display is the real drain ... Apr 26 14:44:27 reducing video resolution might help, but I'm not aware of a way to do this Apr 26 14:44:31 smooph_web: It's not Apr 26 14:44:38 smooph_web: At least if you dim it. Apr 26 14:44:43 hi can someone help me with my n900 Apr 26 14:44:50 ~ask Apr 26 14:44:51 Questions in the channel should be specific, informative, complete, concise, and on-topic.

Apr 26 14:50:29 Nokia has some USB pack with regulator afaik Apr 26 14:51:23 smooph_web: There's an article on talk.maemo.org which has tested and recommends these batteries: http://www.aliexpress.com/product-fm/367257966-Lithium-ion-Battery-for-Nokia-BL-5J-for-5230-5800XM-5233-N900-1420mAh-Free-Shipping-wholesalers.html Apr 26 14:51:41 smooph_web: I haven't yet tried them myself, but plan to buy one. Apr 26 14:52:05 smooph_web is asking for external USB powerpacks Apr 26 14:52:10 I am sorry this may be out of context but have you tried mugen power batteries for n900 Apr 26 14:52:32 this indeed might be a solution Apr 26 14:52:40 DocScrutinizer: Understood. Apr 26 14:55:29 billmania: & DocScrutinizer 100$ is a little too much for my taste ... I think I will look for a usb backup unit Apr 26 14:55:45 yeah Apr 26 14:55:59 smooph_web: The batteries from aliexpress are only about USB 10 each. Apr 26 14:56:07 (if you buy three at a time) Apr 26 14:57:20 billmania: sorry I dont understand what you are saying? Apr 26 15:00:57 smooph_web: One option of many for increasing the operating time of your N900 is to increase the battery capacity. Apr 26 15:00:58 smooph_web: http://www.online-superpreis.de/kfz-outdoor/outdoor/cabstone-solar-not-ladegeraet-mit-integr-5-5v-1000mah-li-po-akku/a-608/ Apr 26 15:01:39 The replacement batteries at http://www.aliexpress.com/product-fm/367257966-Lithium-ion-Battery-for-Nokia-BL-5J-for-5230-5800XM-5233-N900-1420mAh-Free-Shipping-wholesalers.html provide more capacity than the standard Nokia-provided N900 battery. Apr 26 15:01:56 If you buy a package of three of those batteries from aliexpress, the cost is approximately USD 10 each. Apr 26 15:02:02 DocScrutinizer: hehe im hörsaal leider nicht so praktisch befürchte ich :D Apr 26 15:02:23 smooph_web: it has a 1000mA LiIon battery Apr 26 15:02:29 DocScrutinizer has also suggested the replacement battery from Mugen Power, which has much more capacity than even the aliexpress batteries. Apr 26 15:04:47 billmania: I understand but that just a question of money 100$ vs 10$ a student will always choose the second option Apr 26 15:05:26 smooph_web: Unless the student does a cost benefit analysis and calculates how much longer the Mugen battery will power the N900. :-D Apr 26 15:06:03 DocScrutinizer: ohh I didn't see that ... I will look around maybe thats an option Apr 26 15:07:01 billmania: I only need another 30-60min :D but youre probably right ... Apr 26 15:10:21 is there somthing like fbrun(fluxbox) for maemo? Apr 26 15:11:31 Or unless they invest $20 in a cheap camcorery thingy Apr 26 15:12:48 SpeedEvil: thought about that too ... thing is ... I don't think my professors would like me to tape their lectures not even for personal use only Apr 26 15:13:00 Ah Apr 26 15:13:10 so the n900 is kind of a nice spycam Apr 26 15:13:27 * SpeedEvil looks at his connectors that hea meant to build a right-angle USB thingy with Apr 26 15:16:32 smooph_web: ask them Apr 26 15:16:48 smooph_web: a lot of them will let you record and stuff Apr 26 15:21:16 trust me ... the ones I am recording won't ... the won't even create a script of the lecture ... Apr 26 15:22:47 you want to control the red privacy indicator I guess. lfocus pkg does that Apr 26 15:22:54 Tape does it too. Apr 26 15:23:05 lol, yeah Apr 26 15:25:39 the n900 has micro usb right ? :) Apr 26 15:25:57 yes Apr 26 15:26:04 unless somebody breaks it Apr 26 15:26:25 hey guys Apr 26 15:26:41 anyone compiled qt4.7 on scratchbox before?

Apr 26 21:57:07 tried without a hub? Apr 26 21:57:09 lol.. sorry than :p Apr 26 21:57:29 4th? Apr 26 21:57:58 well, yes.

Apr 26 22:00:41 troubleshouting :) Apr 26 22:00:44 unable to enum - usually means bad cable or similar crap Apr 26 22:03:24 I feel like I've read that wiki over and over, I've been dreading this flash for over a month. fearing doing something wrong -_-' Apr 26 22:04:07 If my other computer doesn't do it I'll try another cable.. Apr 26 22:13:23 try another OS Apr 26 22:13:28 ubuntu? Apr 26 22:13:54 just a wild guess - just everybody with such problems had ubuntu Apr 26 22:14:26 ooh archlinux Apr 26 22:14:45 whatever that is :-) Apr 26 22:15:25 can you pls look at this idea http://i52.tinypic.com/23ma42x.png Apr 26 22:15:35 can I optimize this?

Apr 26 22:21:31 let my phone figure this out Apr 26 22:22:05 i'm curious about people whose lives use calendars :) Apr 26 22:22:07 cityLights: you could check current state (i.e. last event: start/end of meeting), then unconditionally set the profile accordingly, wind the timer for next event whatever it is, and go to sleep Apr 26 22:22:58 right Apr 26 22:23:39 must I remeber the last profile I had , before setting up the timer? Apr 26 22:23:55 if you're using e.g alarmed for the timer, you don't even have to code a daemon Apr 26 22:24:01 I mean , as long as I wake up - I can toggle Apr 26 22:24:14 just build a simple execute and quit program Apr 26 22:24:36 I am using gobject.timeout_add() but alarmd is the next option Apr 26 22:25:14 aalarmed, not alarmd Apr 26 22:25:21 -a Apr 26 22:25:59 alarmed Apr 26 22:26:13 I use python Apr 26 22:26:36 how to event.alarm_action_set_exec_command("/usr/sbin/myAwesomeCommand.sh"); in python?

I just wanted to let you know that you were probably right about it comming down to a "bad cable or similar crap" Apr 26 22:40:29 a gallon of gasoline is so cheap now Apr 26 22:40:33 less than 8 cents Apr 26 22:40:39 if you have a real silver dime Apr 26 22:42:05 by bye Apr 26 22:46:34 No sucess yet. I'm giving up for today. It's the middle of the night Apr 26 22:46:35 bye Apr 26 23:00:25 Hey all...is anybody familiar w/ water damaged N900. The device has been disassembled and dried out. But the screen is very dark and almost unusable? Apr 26 23:01:27 How have you dried it out? Apr 26 23:01:33 And was it clean water? Apr 26 23:02:03 And how long between getting wet and removingthe battery Apr 26 23:02:27 removing the battery is vital Apr 26 23:02:39 second vital thing is cleaning everything with distilled water, i guess Apr 26 23:02:46 as son as i retrived it from the toliet Apr 26 23:02:56 DIstilled water isn't really very critical - clean is Apr 26 23:03:10 Pre or post-flush? Apr 26 23:03:14 Was the water clear? Apr 26 23:03:27 pre Apr 26 23:03:53 ew Apr 26 23:04:04 excuse me-- i mean befor my business Apr 26 23:04:22 whew Apr 26 23:04:25 then it shouldn't be a big problem Apr 26 23:04:41 clmbr: how long did you wait? Apr 26 23:04:58 just seconds maybe 5-10 Apr 26 23:06:21 How did you try it? Apr 26 23:06:28 no, i mean Apr 26 23:06:41 how much time did you wait before considering it dried? Apr 26 23:06:54 dry it Apr 26 23:07:01 I took it apart and dried it with cotton balls and put it in a dry enviro for 30 ish hrs Apr 26 23:07:21 the device was on when it fell =/ Apr 26 23:07:31 dry environment? Apr 26 23:07:36 30h isn't really enough IMO Apr 26 23:07:51 Consider that the water can get into all of those little cans, and has rto evaporate Apr 26 23:08:03 30h@50C - maybe Apr 26 23:09:48 in the sun, and at night time i placed an electric heater blowing hot air onto the parts, on a towel. It powers on no telephone functions & the screen is very very dark--could it be a digitizer? Apr 26 23:15:18 Do you mean that the backlight is nonfunctional? Apr 26 23:15:58 anyone living in german do not buy "aro" brand "salsa hot dip" - niemals kaufen Apr 26 23:16:11 the first three ingredients: water, sugar, tomato paste ...

Apr 26 23:32:25 This is interesting. The line "deb http://repository.maemo.org/extras-testing fremantle-1.3 free non-free" works if it appears in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/hildon-application-manager but it doesn't work if I stick it in another file, like /etc/apt/sources.list.d/SomeOtherFile Apr 27 00:38:13 clmbr: thoroughly rinse with clean water, then with pure alcohol. Then dry for AT LEAST one week, at increased temperature (I always suggest fan of your PC) Apr 27 00:39:23 oh, I forgot: use canned pressurized air to blow away the liquids from mainboard Apr 27 00:41:45 consider there are BGA chips that are like 20*20mm, with several hundered conatct balls that are soldered to the PCB, and the gap between chip case and PCB is <0.1mm Apr 27 00:42:07 takes a while for water to dry when it got in there, shorting those balls Apr 27 00:43:30 inserting battery too early will cause electrolytic damage to the metals there, and device is definitely broken once some important part is eroded Apr 27 00:44:48 water inside LCD may cause backlight dispenser get very darkish Apr 27 00:45:20 no chance to dry that even in weeks Apr 27 00:49:23 Oh oh. Someone's N900 got wet? Apr 27 00:49:55 Oh, wait, "rinse with clean water". Something worse than water got into someone's N900? Apr 27 00:50:08 read [2011-04-27 01:00:08] Hey all...is anybody familiar w/ water damaged N900. The device has been disassembled and dried out. But the screen is very dark and almost unusable? << ff Apr 27 00:51:29 Ahh... sorry to hear that. Oh, I see. Agree with DocScrutinizer re: water; and use distilled if possible (avoiding electrolytes). Apr 27 00:52:23 alcohol greatly reduces drying time Apr 27 00:52:40 True. Hard to get pure alcohol (not sure where you live) but we do have 90% which is probably ok. Apr 27 00:53:01 On that note, are N900's still for sale? I myself am planning ahead for when/if my own N900 gets damaged. Apr 27 00:53:04 yep, everything >70% is hygroscopic afaik Apr 27 00:53:18 Now that Nokia's not really coming out with a successor, and I'm not sure Samsung's Linux Phone is coming out. Apr 27 00:53:42 there should be new ones on ebay still Apr 27 00:54:45 Man, maybe --just maybe-- I should buy myself an extra one. Should be able to get a tax writeoff, and I'm just thinking of the day when mine falls out of a moving car or something, and I already dumped my old Treo 650. Apr 27 00:58:14 I dropped mine a few days ago, and then even stepped on it :-o Apr 27 00:58:37 now the metal frame has quite a few scars Apr 27 00:59:53 I've only stepped gently on mine. Apr 27 01:00:21 It has no scars, as it's living in a nasty crystal case. Apr 27 01:01:26 heh amazon germany still has them too Apr 27 01:02:34 I put mine in an Otter case. Anyone have experience with that? It looks pretty rugged, but I'm still worried about screen cracks. Apr 27 01:02:51 You can get spare LCDs Apr 27 01:03:15 SpeedEvil: nasty crystal? You mean it covers the screen, too? Ohh.. spare parts for N900 would dry up pretty soon, though, wouldn't it? It's not a standard part like a microUSB charger... Apr 27 01:03:28 No - it doesn't cover the screen Apr 27 01:03:36 Oh, right, duhhh... touch screen.

Apr 27 01:05:21 yes Apr 27 01:05:50 2.98 - shipping too Apr 27 01:05:54 Aww, it's even in Hong Kong. We could just walk over and buy it from the guy.
