**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Jun 09 02:59:57 2011 Jun 09 03:11:20 what pptp vpn client package is the best to install (with gui) Jun 09 03:11:55 http://blog.flickr.net/en/2011/06/08/plane-trails/ Jun 09 03:14:23 whatever Jun 09 03:17:26 trying to download mp3 from a sansa sandisk mp3-clip. Looks completely empty when mounted as mass storage under linux :-( Any hints? Jun 09 03:18:27 maybe it is partitioned Jun 09 03:18:46 there are several dirs that all are empty Jun 09 03:19:54 and not just hidden files? Jun 09 03:20:16 unplugged it now, but I recall dirs like MUSIC, RECORDINGS... Jun 09 03:20:35 umm, no, my konqueror is set up to show .files Jun 09 03:21:39 there've been like 4 dirs, one 1.5MB file that had some binary content looking like a content listing judging by the strings I've seen... Jun 09 03:22:41 might be some iSync crap, or dunno what Jun 09 03:23:00 I'm lost on that thing Jun 09 03:23:02 :-/ Jun 09 03:24:32 cute little thing, even has an (empty) uSD slot, but when there's no content visible though device starts playback of a song on unplugging... Jun 09 03:30:29 Wipe it and start over? Jun 09 03:30:33 "music->dirs->[internal storage] MTP->((lots of subdirs)) Jun 09 03:30:49 meh, that's not why I borrowed it :-P Jun 09 03:31:57 Ah Jun 09 03:34:21 strange shit Jun 09 03:34:30 morning Jun 09 03:34:45 moaning Jun 09 03:35:09 * DocScrutinizer thinks it's cause by solar strom Jun 09 03:35:15 exactly what I'm gonna do later today Jun 09 03:35:31 no, more like 3 hours of sleep Jun 09 03:35:32 exactly what I'm doing right now Jun 09 03:36:01 mourning Jun 09 03:36:06 (with MeeGo) Jun 09 03:36:07 I have 5 alarms set up each 2 minutes far apart in case I fall asleep Jun 09 03:36:17 got a sansa with lots of nice music on it and can't access it via USB Jun 09 03:36:20 They wont work. Jun 09 03:36:59 alarms are fubar on maemo Jun 09 03:37:19 remind me to find a way to make the stop button segfault the dialog Jun 09 03:37:25 * DocScrutinizer plugs in the sansa once more Jun 09 03:37:44 I hate when it hits sleep when I'm taking it out of my pocket. Jun 09 03:37:47 Sansas use Mass Storage afaik Jun 09 03:38:23 they do, at least I get it mounted - alas the MUSIC is not there... Jun 09 03:38:45 I hope my lockscreen concept drives people to make more lockscreens to "replace" maemo's Jun 09 03:39:47 AUDIBLE, AUDIOBOOKS, MUSIC, PODCASTS, RECORD - all dirs Jun 09 03:40:00 And pretty soon we'll be Android! Jun 09 03:40:29 Who wants to start the 12 Days of Maemo 6? Jun 09 03:40:45 DocScrutinizer, hit Ctrl+h Jun 09 03:41:32 all empty, except RECORD, which has FM and VOICE Jun 09 03:41:38 ctrl-h?? Jun 09 03:41:38 1st day should be a burning platform. Jun 09 03:42:28 MohammadAG51: hitting ctrl-h has no reasonable meaning in konqueror Jun 09 03:42:40 the device has no kbd to do that Jun 09 03:43:42 ctrl+h shows hidden folders on nautilus Jun 09 03:44:23 mine is set up to show hidden by dfault Jun 09 03:45:36 "find" the shit Jun 09 03:51:57 http://paste.debian.net/119276/ Jun 09 03:53:45 http://paste.debian.net/119277/ Jun 09 03:54:15 meh, I know and already said it's my MEH day Jun 09 04:05:28 DocScrutinizer, go to sleep Jun 09 04:05:40 MEH!

Jun 09 04:19:22 for the n900? Jun 09 04:19:30 about 2 dozen :) Jun 09 04:19:42 any good ones? Jun 09 04:19:42 what is twitter btw? :) Jun 09 04:19:45 sure it's not 3 dozen?

Jun 09 04:32:35 MohammadAG: the thing about learning is that, its easy and fun until you do simple stuff, but once you look at a real world application, you freak :P Jun 09 04:32:47 freak out* Jun 09 04:32:50 DocScrutinizer, I'm betting it's my eyes though Jun 09 04:33:24 hiemanshu, look at logs from last year, I "hated" C/C++/Qt Jun 09 04:33:27 just found out my n900 won't flash cause i have some cheap "charging only" usb cable. didn't know they made those Jun 09 04:33:55 haha Jun 09 04:34:10 I'd call that broken Jun 09 04:34:12 MohammadAG: lol Jun 09 04:34:41 seriously why would they make a usb cable charging only Jun 09 04:35:04 MohammadAG: well, until a month ago I hated C/C++, but eventually gave in because almost everything I use is mostly C++ Jun 09 04:35:09 nearly threw my phone out the window Jun 09 04:35:11 Shoruken: because its cheaper? Jun 09 04:35:20 hiemanshu, prob right ;P Jun 09 04:35:30 how's QT these days? Jun 09 04:35:37 I hated it cause I didn't know it Jun 09 04:35:39 * DocScrutinizer trows some sandisk crap out the window Jun 09 04:35:41 Qt is awesome Jun 09 04:35:41 Shoruken: like you said you bought a cheap USB cable, well I'd blame you for that Jun 09 04:36:30 hiemanshu, i bought a charger, had no idea there existed usb cables that were so cheap as to not add a few wires for data xfer Jun 09 04:36:33 Qt sure is awesome Jun 09 04:37:02 Shoruken: well, it could be worse :P Jun 09 04:37:15 hiemanshu, yeah i could have thrown my phone out da window ;) Jun 09 04:37:23 that said I don't think i'll be installing nitdroid again Jun 09 04:37:25 there is a reason they charge extra for decent stuff, It works :P Jun 09 04:37:48 Shoruken: well, send it over to me, I have a few friends who want a N900 :P Jun 09 04:38:18 hiemanshu, i was seriously about to donate my n900 to someone in here like MohammadAG if i couldn't get it working :P Jun 09 04:38:31 but now that i discovered the root of my prob i'll keep it! Jun 09 04:38:43 Shoruken: MohammadAG probably has a lot of them, send it to me :P Jun 09 04:38:45 * DocScrutinizer holds fingernail to the tip of that progressbar... does it move??... oh, it moves backwards... Nah, that's my fingernail growing ;-P Jun 09 04:38:52 send it to someone else, I already have 2, thanks though :P Jun 09 04:39:05 I could probably use another one Jun 09 04:39:06 how does Qt compare with .NET in noob friendliness? Jun 09 04:39:25 I think .NET is a bit more noob friendly Jun 09 04:39:27 Shoruken: I learned most of the basic Qt stuff in a doc, and the docs are very easy to use Jun 09 04:39:27 but only a bit Jun 09 04:39:34 s/doc/day/ Jun 09 04:39:34 hiemanshu meant: Shoruken: I learned most of the basic Qt stuff in a day, and the docs are very easy to use Jun 09 04:39:40 Qt's docs are the best docs though Jun 09 04:39:44 yup Jun 09 04:39:51 * DocScrutinizer wonders if they used a 2bit processor in that thing, clocked @ 50Hz Jun 09 04:39:55 MohammadAG: I saw you have been busy on the bubble front Jun 09 04:40:22 GonzoTheGreat, sort of, done the backends, Venemo's doing the frontends Jun 09 04:40:43 that's good, I was about to get serious on Qt learnin' and lost myself by subbing to WoW Jun 09 04:40:44 it's mainly a go at Nokia Bubbles in pure Qt (without any QML) Jun 09 04:41:11 i haven't kept up with maemo stuff lately, what's the future hold for the n900? Jun 09 04:41:13 I might as well not bother then. Jun 09 04:41:21 why? Jun 09 04:41:45 it's a matter of personal choice Jun 09 04:42:03 some mays like your screen, others may like the nokia bubbles clone Jun 09 04:42:19 having custom lockscreens is like having custom themes Jun 09 04:43:07 I guess so. It is kind of duplicated effort though. Jun 09 04:43:33 well, no, you plan on using QML (ala quick-widgets), we don't Jun 09 04:43:37 Still have the qt-components (qml) for maemo on my list. This theme stuff suck though ;-) Jun 09 04:44:07 i wish someone would make swype work on maemo Jun 09 04:44:28 getting all the info on margins/padding and so is laborious. Jun 09 04:45:01 google doodle++ Jun 09 04:45:40 Shoruken, swype? no, some custom swype-like algorithm based keyboard, maybe Jun 09 04:45:52 either way, I'm not the guy for algorithms Jun 09 04:46:24 i like the way swype feels though, and i've tried another thing that was similar didn't feel as good Jun 09 04:46:41 Back to qml lock-screen. If I go for it I will probably wrap the backend stuff from the bubbles. That should be common functionality Jun 09 04:46:54 Shoruken: well swype isn't open source, so you would have to write most of the stuff on your own Jun 09 04:47:08 true, there any swype opensource alternatives? Jun 09 04:47:22 imho, I did the backends well this time Jun 09 04:47:53 I plan to add MeeGo / Maemo 6 support, the code is ready for cross platform use Jun 09 04:47:53 I'll see when I try to make bindings ;-) Jun 09 04:48:21 google doesn't show anything i can use ;( Jun 09 04:48:50 GonzoTheGreat, basically, the UI is pure Qt, e.g you call SystemPlayer::resume(), and it resumes the default player Jun 09 04:49:09 on maemo 5, that's mafw, but you don't have to worry about that, the class handles it Jun 09 04:49:14 Shoruken: there is slide it, but that isn't free either Jun 09 04:49:36 I love multiple closed source efforts Jun 09 04:49:40 hiemanshu, i'm surprised no one has anythign open source on something like this at this point in time Jun 09 04:50:18 Shoruken: well for most people swype works, and really it doesn't matter to me much if it isn't open source if it does the stuff its supposed to do Jun 09 04:50:25 Shoruken: (I own an iPhone too :P) Jun 09 04:50:43 MohammadAG: Have you done telepathy access yet? Jun 09 04:50:51 there any swype-like keyboard for iphone? i'll be owning one soon as a hand me down ;) Jun 09 04:51:05 Shoruken: nope there are none Jun 09 04:51:24 GonzoTheGreat, for what? Jun 09 04:51:35 hiemanshu, you sure? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GS9exNHoD3M Jun 09 04:51:59 number of sms, IMs, missed calls etc Jun 09 04:52:00 omg Jun 09 04:52:04 it's in an app thing only Jun 09 04:52:10 can't replace keybaoard with it Jun 09 04:52:30 no, sure that's provided by telepathy? Jun 09 04:52:31 Shoruken: you type elsewhere, then copy paste :P Jun 09 04:52:35 yeah lame Jun 09 04:53:37 IS there anything in qtmobility? Jun 09 04:53:54 or do we have to use dbus Jun 09 04:54:13 i broke my arm not too long ago and only had one barely functioning hand and was using some windows swype-like program for awhile... was really useful Jun 09 04:56:17 look at .config/hildon-desktop/notifications.db Jun 09 04:56:50 Shoruken: when I broke my arm quite a while ago, I had someone to type stuff for me most of the time :P Jun 09 04:56:55 i can't believe how diligently MohammadAG and docscrutinizer have been working on maemo stuff Jun 09 04:57:16 Shoruken: they have nothing better to do Jun 09 04:57:19 * hiemanshu runs for his life Jun 09 04:57:27 hiemanshu, sadly my one finger typing was faster than most my family's two handed typing Jun 09 04:57:45 * MohammadAG follows hiemanshu Jun 09 04:57:55 i was at 140ish wpm before i broke my arm, one handed i did 40 and my brothers could do like 30ish Jun 09 04:58:25 I'll probably disappear when I'm at uni Jun 09 04:58:28 Shoruken: true, but I broke my right arm, and my left arm barely knew how to message :P Jun 09 04:58:34 oh and my modem appears to be broken Jun 09 04:58:36 actually the arm breaking wasn't the big part, severing my radial nerve was the worst Jun 09 04:58:54 hiemanshu, yeah that sucks to lose the dominant arm. luckily for me it wasn't the case Jun 09 04:59:01 MohammadAG, you telling me you in high schooL? Jun 09 04:59:25 Shoruken: well yeah, thats true, its still recovering though Jun 09 04:59:30 isn't MohammadAG like 17? Jun 09 04:59:34 yeah, boring as hell Jun 09 04:59:35 hiemanshu, yeah me too... Jun 09 04:59:41 hiemanshu, indeed :p Jun 09 04:59:54 MohammadAG: keep up the work kid :P Jun 09 04:59:55 damn MohammadAG i thought you were some 30 year old engineer Jun 09 05:00:05 Shoruken: naah Jun 09 05:00:21 your age I was playing MMORPGs nonstop Jun 09 05:00:28 hah Jun 09 05:00:35 I started learning python when I was 17 Jun 09 05:00:54 MohammadAG is annoyingly awesome for his age. Jun 09 05:01:05 well i started doing VB at 10, made a few windows forms programs and discovered Quake 3... Jun 09 05:01:11 I think I even broke my arm when I was 17, kept me off computers for a while Jun 09 05:01:27 yeah MohammadAG makes me look incompetent Jun 09 05:01:31 lol Jun 09 05:01:32 hiemanshu: unlikely to do the trick for most people here :P Jun 09 05:01:52 Ikarus: heh Jun 09 05:02:05 MohammadAG, if you don't mind me asking, whereabouts in the world do you live? Jun 09 05:02:08 keep me off computers, not since I was 10 Jun 09 05:02:47 whe I was 10 there was nothing to run VB on it :-P Jun 09 05:02:51 Shoruken, Jerusalem, IL :P Jun 09 05:03:02 aha Jun 09 05:03:14 IL?

Halfway there, eats snack Jun 09 05:21:01 well, most of us have bouncers :D Jun 09 05:21:08 well designed and open-source though ;-) Jun 09 05:22:19 xchat too here. Jun 09 05:22:36 Unfortunatly it eats battery on gsm, or worse 3G Jun 09 05:23:19 i was prettty impressed with xchat on maemo last time i used it ~year ago Jun 09 05:23:35 it actually seemed more solid than this windows version Jun 09 05:24:11 i can't seem to find a windows irc client that works as nicely the ones in linux Jun 09 05:25:58 Interesting - latest battery measurement - 1167mAh.

Jun 09 06:12:39 I'd get a ps3 or xbox for gaming in that case really ;) Jun 09 06:12:43 i was playing WoW in wine for awhile and it was acceptable, but after seeing what it looked like in windows i switched Jun 09 06:12:53 Shoruken: I tried about 40 different distros before settling on fedora :P Jun 09 06:12:59 dayum Jun 09 06:13:01 more than me!

Jun 09 08:32:44 Im in a Ubuntu 11.04 system and Im unable to run the flasher Jun 09 08:32:54 ./flasher-3.5: error while loading shared libraries: libusb-0.1.so.4: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64 Jun 09 08:33:43 You need to install the ia32-libs packages Jun 09 08:33:49 it's a 32-bit application Jun 09 08:35:10 Where do I find it? Im not used to apt, I usualy runs gentoo Jun 09 08:35:57 sudo apt-get install ia32-libs Jun 09 08:36:52 okok Jun 09 08:37:09 There we go, thanks :) Jun 09 08:49:41 morning Jun 09 08:55:45 * RST38h wonders what is making Mozilla people continue releasing Fennec for N900 Jun 09 08:56:04 The thing is completely unusable. Jun 09 08:56:56 Eh, it /works/ I'll give it that Jun 09 08:56:59 slow, yes Jun 09 08:57:27 I wondered if it was just some crond build bot constantly building the same source but with different dates appended to the filename lol Jun 09 08:57:29 I'd be very happy if I could simply toss it's rendering engine behind the stock browser, which has a *much* better gui Jun 09 08:58:47 morning Jun 09 08:58:58 ~seen MohammadAG Jun 09 08:59:06 mohammadag <~MohammadA@Maemo/community/contributor/MohammadAG> was last seen on IRC in channel #maemo, 3h 53m 57s ago, saying: 'brb, shower then exam'. Jun 09 09:01:04 they need to cut lots of bloat off on their `Nightly' version. Apart from version numbers going up very slowly and maybe slightly different dates it just seems like hardly anything has changed apart from the naming of the product Jun 09 09:03:07 That is not bloat, that is features!!! Jun 09 09:10:52 * chem|st forgot how lone it takes to write random numbers to 1TB over usb2^^ 16h 68% done (for some reason usb3 got a hickup) Jun 09 09:11:14 But....why? Jun 09 09:11:27 Hi everyone! Jun 09 09:13:32 I have a little annoying problem: In the settings I have already disabled network positioning, but still, every time I open sygic or another program which requires gps, it always ask: 'enable network-based positioning', and I don't want this. Any ideas? Jun 09 09:30:15 chem|st: why do you need that? :< Jun 09 09:33:49 kerio: http://paste.debian.net/119294/ Jun 09 09:34:03 or do you mean the encryption? Jun 09 09:34:45 ah sorry encryption^^ Jun 09 09:35:07 and the pastebin is my xhci throw-up Jun 09 09:58:47 hmm, CTO news doesn't look very promising Jun 09 09:58:54 unless they get rid of Elop of course Jun 09 10:16:16 lardman, news where? Jun 09 10:18:39 rich green is leaving nokia Jun 09 10:22:25 so? Jun 09 10:31:02 anyone got blessn900 working? :/ Jun 09 10:31:25 vague question Jun 09 10:31:55 if i install the fcam drivers no camera app at all is working anymore Jun 09 10:32:04 and i cant install the newer version from the website :O Jun 09 10:33:01 summel: any modifications like OC'ed kernel-power or special devel things? Jun 09 10:33:06 which kernel are you using? Jun 09 10:33:15 chem|st: no Jun 09 10:33:21 im running the latest one from nokia Jun 09 10:33:26 did not yet enable cssu Jun 09 10:33:31 but thought about doing that now Jun 09 10:33:50 latest one = nokia's stock kernel Jun 09 10:34:12 you might be able to get it working if you installed fcam from extras-devel Jun 09 10:35:25 blessn900 + old-fcam did not work Jun 09 10:35:49 :o so i have to enable extras-devel? :/ Jun 09 10:36:11 finally the sdk installer is setting up targets Jun 09 10:36:53 summel: but don't install anything but fcam! Jun 09 10:37:04 :o ok Jun 09 10:37:10 and then disable it :) Jun 09 10:37:13 I don't know, I've stopped using stock kernel for sometime now Jun 09 10:37:26 summel: yes Jun 09 10:37:27 are u using titan's kernel ? Jun 09 10:37:38 who? Jun 09 10:37:39 MetalGearSolid: he doesn't Jun 09 10:38:08 no he said he uses the latest one from nokia.. that's just stock kernel Jun 09 10:38:38 oh i actually have kernel power Jun 09 10:38:44 for the wifi hotspot Jun 09 10:38:49 but i dont need that anymore :o Jun 09 10:39:06 that is really confusing.. print the output of your `uname -r' Jun 09 10:39:24 it said kernel power from the application manager Jun 09 10:39:30 KP version ?? Jun 09 10:39:31 which you need for the wifi hotspot? Jun 09 10:39:36 yes Jun 09 10:39:38 seco Jun 09 10:39:39 nd Jun 09 10:39:48 it's not hotspot, it's adhoc mode Jun 09 10:40:00 the last I recall you don't need KP for wifi hotspot, it just gives you a warning that its not stable, yadda yadda yadda Jun 09 10:40:02 yees :P but it works the same :D Jun 09 10:40:08 summel: no it doesn't Jun 09 10:40:13 psycho_oreos: really? :o Jun 09 10:40:17 you can't use WPA2 security in ad-hoc mode Jun 09 10:40:20 Ikarus: for me it does Jun 09 10:40:25 yes thats true :/ Jun 09 10:40:46 2.6.28.10power42 Jun 09 10:40:57 summel, that's awhile ago, I don't know the status of it now. I remembered wifi hotspot included the drivers for stock kernel but it was rather flaky and not working basically Jun 09 10:41:16 im not using that anyways Jun 09 10:41:20 summel, so you're using titan's power kernel not stock kernel, there's a huge difference Jun 09 10:41:24 summel: /topic Jun 09 10:41:27 since the n900 is not my main phone anymore :o Jun 09 10:41:59 chem|st: ? i dont have a problem with multiboot or android or stuff :o Jun 09 10:42:14 kernel-power just the same! Jun 09 10:42:21 its in the repository Jun 09 10:42:31 and i can just uninstall it :o Jun 09 10:42:48 camera did not work without that (and fcam installed) :o Jun 09 10:43:30 im uninstalling it now Jun 09 10:44:06 i am using KP 42 nd fcam v1.7-1 Jun 09 10:45:39 MetalGearSolid: extras-testing? :o Jun 09 10:46:24 dunno found it on TMO Jun 09 10:46:34 search the threads Jun 09 10:48:48 yeah the maintainer created custom fcam package that time Jun 09 10:49:26 what is tmo? :o Jun 09 10:49:51 talk.maemo.org Jun 09 10:49:56 ah Jun 09 10:51:24 I sort of personally can't see how much it would be of an issue if you used all the stuff from extras-devel if you said that N900 isn't your main phone anymore Jun 09 10:52:01 i still want stuff to work and not crash :D Jun 09 10:52:35 and the last time i mentioned extras-devel/-testing i got yelled at for not being a developer :o Jun 09 10:53:06 so the end result of the SDK install is the same as a vanilla N900 right? Jun 09 10:53:18 I doubt it Jun 09 10:53:36 I mean except with the extra -dev packages Jun 09 10:54:03 summel, it depends on what you install, and of course the general thing is when things break whilst using extras-devel you're meant to be more collaborative rather than demanding a fix or something to be more stable :) Jun 09 10:56:36 hiemanshu, if anything it resembles a figment of N900. There's no N900's kernel (which is obvious), the ARM emulation is slow if you for example use xephyr. You can't chroot inside a chroot, etc Jun 09 10:59:35 psycho_oreos: I dont want an emulation, I just want to compile my apps for it, and then I can test it on my phone directly Jun 09 11:00:44 hiemanshu, well yes SDK should be sufficient for that Jun 09 12:00:16 woohoo, my first maemo non-python app, works :D Jun 09 13:20:30 heh, nokia CTO Jun 09 13:40:45 kerio: Doesn't bode well, does it. Jun 09 13:41:03 kerio: Adds some weight to the out-there rumour about the Harmattan device not being released :-( Jun 09 13:41:56 how can they not release it? Jun 09 13:42:24 because they are nokia Jun 09 13:42:48 Nokia practically burned money at the 770, 800, 810/WIMAX and N900 Jun 09 13:43:11 with the huge profit margins that they're making off crappy hardware phones such as the N8 and E7 Jun 09 13:43:28 they'll probably give it one last push Jun 09 13:43:32 e.g. Step 5/5 Jun 09 13:43:36 and that was before signing a deal with microsoft Jun 09 13:44:14 but they got it to the FCC Jun 09 13:44:40 at the very least, it's going out to devs Maemo Summit 2009 style Jun 09 13:45:18 only time will tell Jun 09 13:45:23 i guess so Jun 09 13:46:15 I wouldn't say they "burned" money on it, when you compare with the massive symbian R+D spending :) Jun 09 13:46:57 shadowjk: LOL Jun 09 13:47:00 indeed Jun 09 13:47:15 S60 5th was the worst... ever Jun 09 13:47:18 My hildon-desktop is completly broken as of latest reboot. Could be related to latest CSSU update Jun 09 13:47:53 I have no taskswitcher, no menu, no Sym (so.. not working dialogs), etc Jun 09 13:47:56 FIQ, any hildon-statusmenu plugins such as AIS? Jun 09 13:48:17 the only time i've broken hildon is when i accidentally rm -rf'd /home Jun 09 13:48:30 >mount -obind /home /and && rm -rf /and Jun 09 13:48:34 BIG WHOOP Jun 09 13:49:03 Nah, don't have any plugins for hildon-* except upgraded hildon things for CSSU Jun 09 13:49:49 Just to start xchat, i did a ctrl+shift+x, xchat, so.. well, not that useful desktop atm Jun 09 13:50:18 that's odd Jun 09 13:50:28 i have the latest CSSU and i'm totally fine Jun 09 13:50:40 Can't switch back to xchat if i open a new xterm so.. well, i'm "stuck" atm :P Jun 09 13:50:58 other than AIS burning thru battery, which resulted in uninstalling it Jun 09 13:50:58 FIQ|n900: no ctrl+backspace? Jun 09 13:51:12 No task switcher Jun 09 13:51:17 it just freezes then Jun 09 13:51:30 ouch Jun 09 13:51:42 at least you got a term... Jun 09 13:51:47 yea Jun 09 13:51:54 what about trying to start them by hand Jun 09 13:52:13 damn nokia, you already made the phone as laptop-like as possible, why not go all the way and move the rootfs to the EMMC? Jun 09 13:52:13 actualy if not started you get a reboot loop Jun 09 13:52:42 what about trying to start them by hand Jun 09 13:52:52 i bet the money they save on not buying onenand parts can easily be used to bump up the emmc's speed class Jun 09 13:53:07 I might try killing hildon* Jun 09 13:53:15 FIQ|n900: dsmetool -k hildon-desktop Jun 09 13:53:15 then everything will restart Jun 09 13:53:22 Hurrian, it's a different issue Jun 09 13:53:24 FIQ|n900: no not killing Jun 09 13:53:29 ok Jun 09 13:53:54 sh: dsmetool: not found Jun 09 13:54:02 shadowjk, it'd be a lot easier to fix broken event.d scripts if it was on the emmc Jun 09 13:54:12 use dsmetool -k to stop it properly (well it kills the process but tells the watchdog to shutup! Jun 09 13:54:18 Hurrian, actually in benchmarks lower class microsdhc cards have booted operting systems faster than class 10. emmc/sd/cf are optimized for digital cameras Jun 09 13:54:21 FIQ|n900: as root Jun 09 13:55:16 Opened friend window by mistake and got screwed Jun 09 13:55:19 Hurrian, when I messed around with scripts I had a backup script simple enough to always be correct, which moved back the old scripts ontop of new ones when booting slider open :P Jun 09 13:55:31 uh... gief pipe Jun 09 13:55:55 There exists no good (e)mmc/sd/cf as far as I know :( Jun 09 13:55:56 yay for no sym - and no ipe Jun 09 13:56:03 eh Jun 09 13:56:05 pipe Jun 09 13:56:06 dsmetool -k /usr/bin/hildon-home to be precise Jun 09 13:56:34 or equivalent for others Jun 09 13:56:38 to stop Jun 09 13:56:52 to start s/-k/-t/ Jun 09 13:58:25 It's kinda revealing too that Sandisk isn't quoting any usable performance figures for their "embedded ssd" :) Jun 09 13:59:16 is there like a guide to use for cross compiling? Jun 09 13:59:39 I can get it working with FREMANTLE_X86, but not _ARMEL Jun 09 14:00:20 hiemanshu, if you set up sbox right, it should be automagic Jun 09 14:00:45 fakeroot {BUILD COMMAND}, fakeroot {PACKAGING COMMAND} Jun 09 14:01:16 Hurrian: make: /usr/bin/qmake-qt4: Command not found Jun 09 14:01:26 thats the error when I run build Jun 09 14:01:31 Everything was screwed up then, so I rebooted Jun 09 14:01:37 then things work again Jun 09 14:01:45 weird... but fine Jun 09 14:01:47 install qmake then Jun 09 14:02:34 Hurrian: http://fpaste.org/Tx5G/ Jun 09 14:03:16 http://www.google.com/search?q=libqt4-dev+maemo&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:unofficial&client=firefox-a Jun 09 14:03:36 these things make it really hard to port stuff to maemo Jun 09 14:03:43 missing deps everywhere Jun 09 14:03:59 you have to build the packages for the deps if they dont exist yet Jun 09 14:04:03 what a huge pita Jun 09 14:04:21 how did all the other people manage to make apps then? Jun 09 14:04:39 make apps or port? Jun 09 14:04:51 sbox is supposed to be the reference environment Jun 09 14:05:02 if it works there, it should work on maemo Jun 09 14:05:11 well it installs fine with target as X86 Jun 09 14:05:13 it depends Jun 09 14:05:23 I can install many targets within sbox Jun 09 14:05:41 the maemo sdk target within sbox should be and generally is the target Jun 09 14:08:20 also, not exactly maemo related, but cordia+meegocore seems promising Jun 09 14:08:44 Hurrian: visually... Jun 09 14:09:44 seems conceptually like a cool upgrade path, if it enables using old apps on meego Jun 09 14:09:52 Hurrian: at least some libraries could be thrown onto autocompilers Jun 09 14:12:46 shadowjk, would be great if we can bring hildon to other phones Jun 09 14:12:58 mostly because i do not want to go to any other UI Jun 09 14:13:14 android kids can have their Launcher/LauncherPro/etc Jun 09 14:13:44 i think i'll enjoy Hildon on a 4" screen Jun 09 14:15:52 it was nice on 4" Jun 09 14:17:02 ah, the NIT's? Jun 09 14:17:37 never had one, but I think the actual usable space on them would be ~3.5, subtracting the double menubars on top and on the left Jun 09 14:18:29 You usually run stuff fullscreen Jun 09 14:19:25 there's hardware button for entering/exiting fullscreen, as well as button for bringing up task switcher, and a back button for browser and such Jun 09 14:19:40 ah Jun 09 14:19:53 oh and a button for bringing up what in Maemo5 is the titlebar menu :P Jun 09 14:19:57 that makes more sense than the N900 then Jun 09 14:20:16 but imo shortcutd is all i need Jun 09 14:20:28 only the +/- buttons are left on n900 :( Jun 09 14:23:09 :-/ Jun 09 14:23:48 checking the user list... Jun 09 14:23:55 k Jun 09 14:24:15 missing menu hw button or shortcut = MAJOR fail Jun 09 14:24:50 DocScrutinizer: at least we have the menubar up top Jun 09 14:25:53 I think a UI that *needs* mouse/touchscreen to work is a faulty design Jun 09 14:26:45 easy debian, then Jun 09 14:27:07 personally, the only time i need to slide open the N900 is when I need to type Jun 09 14:27:07 launcher and menu are not operable via kbd-shortcuts Jun 09 14:27:08 DocScrutinizer, if that same system is used in shop windows then its a fail to require it Jun 09 14:27:20 *regression* compared to diablo Jun 09 14:27:22 keyboard shortcuts are like sprinkles on an ice cream cone Jun 09 14:27:38 nice to have but for use where designed it isn't such an issue Jun 09 14:27:51 come to think of it, the only keyboard shortcut i've ever used was the screenshot one Jun 09 14:28:07 I use ctrl-backspace all the time Jun 09 14:28:25 lcuk: don't get apologetic again please - it's a FAILURE of UI designers Jun 09 14:28:27 do the Windows Phones include a dedicated Ctrl-Alt-Del shortcut? Jun 09 14:28:49 If apps could be sanely maximized without losing dunctionality I'd probably do that too, because screen space is wasted by the menubars :/ Jun 09 14:28:49 DocScrutinizer, I am not apologetic Jun 09 14:29:02 I don't even have mouse scroll wheel support in my apps Jun 09 14:29:09 I was just pondering this morning how to do it Jun 09 14:29:20 shadowjk : maximize apps, use camera half-press to go back to desktop Jun 09 14:29:22 see: Jun 09 14:29:23 when I plug in the mouse onto ideapad scrolling does not scroll Jun 09 14:29:23 it just sends mouse event 'wheel up' Jun 09 14:29:23 repeatedly Jun 09 14:29:23 think of it as a mouse click Jun 09 14:29:24 ok will peek at the events Jun 09 14:29:30 how hard would it be to implement a simple yes/no popup after closing the camera program? Jun 09 14:29:35 so I can't use Maemo6 with a joystick? How could they dare? FAIL FAIL FAIL! Jun 09 14:29:37 Hurrian, that's not the issue Jun 09 14:29:37 so :P DocScrutinizer I do appreciate comforts like you do Jun 09 14:29:46 but I can also understand why they were forgotten Jun 09 14:29:48 I'd like it to ask if I want to upload (scp) the pictures after I've taken some Jun 09 14:30:40 Hurrian, ctrl-backspace is basically in muscle-memory now. I meant you can't access the titlebar menus if fullscreened :P Jun 09 14:32:07 for all it's unpolished-ness, i like the hildon-desktop in maemo 5 Jun 09 14:32:24 my only beef with it is the internet connections settings menu Jun 09 14:32:29 andre__: you really got strange problems Jun 09 14:32:32 that shit's ugly Jun 09 14:32:54 DocScrutinizer, you're welcome, especially when I see you crying out FAIL at every opoortunity you get :) Jun 09 14:32:54 removing the buttons feels a bit like some ignoramus thought "what's the point of touchscreen if we don't force people to use it? :) Jun 09 14:33:05 andre__: ShadowJK and mine are more down to earth though: not touching touchscreen when using kbd Jun 09 14:33:41 huh Jun 09 14:33:56 ShadowJK: ctrl-bs Jun 09 14:36:46 andre__, probably for the better, didn't someone decide it'd be a good idea for accelerometers to pretend they're joysticks? :P Jun 09 14:39:11 shadowjk, that wouldnt work pretty well upside down wouldn't it? Jun 09 14:40:47 I hate this rotation crap. If I'm lying on my side in bed trying to read a webpage and the damn thing rotates it upwards relatve to gravity it's now sideways relative to myself :( Jun 09 14:41:02 >using the N900 in portrait Jun 09 14:41:14 gotta be one of the worst things to do, ever Jun 09 14:41:26 i actually got CSSU just to lock it in landscape Jun 09 14:42:01 lol Jun 09 14:42:03 shadow, you need to install a wireless 3D accelerometer to your head ;) Jun 09 14:42:18 Hurrian: indeed Jun 09 14:42:33 i think it's only firefox that rotates for me now Jun 09 14:42:42 Hurrian: well it finally worked, had to add the nokia repos Jun 09 14:43:07 and when i try figure out the magic keypress to do CLIENT_REFRESH in browser I accidentally activate rotation.. Jun 09 14:43:35 (hint: there's no such keypress in mobile microb and firefox :( ) Jun 09 14:44:58 how do you pronounce that? as micro-bee or mic-rob Jun 09 14:46:08 some expert (matan?) gave me a insider hint about most programs on hildon have menu function linked to F, so mapping this dunno F7 to some kbd combo might turn out to be handy Jun 09 14:46:41 hiemanshu, micro-bee Jun 09 14:46:51 probably means microbrowser though Jun 09 14:47:05 Yeah, iirc F6 was fullscreen in Maemo4 Jun 09 14:47:07 I prefer microb like amoeba Jun 09 14:47:27 uhh, micro Jun 09 14:47:32 *microbe Jun 09 14:47:43 midori on pc, remote X to N810, and midori configured to understand the F6,etc keys sent by hw buttons on N810 :) Jun 09 14:48:43 so what's been the menubutton's mapping? Jun 09 14:49:05 nfi :) Jun 09 14:49:12 :-) Jun 09 14:49:22 maybe worth finding out Jun 09 14:49:39 Ill check my mails if I can find matan's tip Jun 09 14:50:19 oh wow Jun 09 14:50:23 i just rebooted my N900 Jun 09 14:50:37 battery went from 40% to 14.1% Jun 09 14:52:38 Hurrian: Nokia does that a lot, one of my older phones (I think my N73?) used to go from all bars to 2 bars after a rebooot Jun 09 14:55:58 the pre-symbian phones never did this to me Jun 09 14:57:10 Hurrian: never mind, bme is teling lies Jun 09 15:02:19 andre__: imagine you paired a BT kbd to N900 and plugged AV to a TV to edit some text - might get annoying to reach out for N900's touchscreen every time you need a menu function of editor, or want to switch to another task, whatever Jun 09 15:02:40 Shouldn't a UEFI, by definition, be able to boot GPT. . . . Jun 09 15:03:07 it doesn't? Jun 09 15:03:09 DocScrutinizer, in that case, use a mouse too Jun 09 15:03:11 doesnt UEFI require gpt? Jun 09 15:03:17 yeah, that sounds like a quite common usecase to me... Jun 09 15:03:53 andre__: sarcasm not appreciated, when not based on good facts Jun 09 15:04:05 Hurrian: eh? no :P Jun 09 15:04:17 I don't care about appreciation anyway... Jun 09 15:05:03 * ShadowJK actually used N810 + bluetooth keyboard on trips Jun 09 15:05:33 andre__: well - then your ranting is just of a different flavour than mine Jun 09 15:05:52 hehe. might be :) Jun 09 15:06:21 hiemanshu, what uefi shell are you using? Jun 09 15:08:58 Hurrian: the asus one Jun 09 15:08:59 http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/Intel_Socket_1155/P8H67I/ Jun 09 15:09:38 Venemo: how comes *none* of the major OS/GUI is following that arrogant paradigm? When this is "not a phone, it's a computer" then I'd expect kbd-shortcuts like on any other random computer Jun 09 15:10:00 ah Jun 09 15:10:14 hiemanshu, you still need to install a EFI bootloader Jun 09 15:10:19 even windoze has them Jun 09 15:11:10 GRUB2-EFI, EDK2-based hackintosh shells, and windows' very broken EFI bootloader on win7 Jun 09 15:11:42 Hurrian: I got GPT to boot just fine, that isn't an issue Jun 09 15:11:46 but MBR boots up Jun 09 15:12:32 windows now hides them :) Jun 09 15:12:53 oh, no more underlines? :-P too bad Jun 09 15:13:19 http://goput.it/fhz.jpg Jun 09 15:13:27 see image Jun 09 15:15:07 ShadowJK: I bet that's just another registry key you have to toggle Jun 09 15:19:33 ShadowJK: funny detail: desktop qt even autogenerates accelerator keys for menu entries, if devel missed to pick one Jun 09 15:20:33 at least it's been like that last time I messed around with Qt on desktop Jun 09 15:36:43 and the Qt source had some rather funny comments in the sections dealing with auto accelerators Jun 09 15:37:16 * DocScrutinizer wonders where his patches for this Qt parts went Jun 09 16:51:06 http://www.rttnews.com/Content/TopStories.aspx?Node=B1&Id=1642987 Jun 09 16:53:36 moin moin Jun 09 16:59:27 * lardman curses Unity Jun 09 17:10:50 how many days until the n9/950 manual is released? Jun 09 17:11:04 15? Jun 09 17:19:49 42 Jun 09 17:20:27 *cough* Jun 09 17:21:00 well, iirc it's like now+19d or sth Jun 09 17:21:22 ask GeneralAntilles Jun 09 17:21:24 I think it's on the 23rd or perhaps 24tgh iirc Jun 09 17:21:34 wasn't that 27th Jun 09 17:21:35 21st, right? Jun 09 17:21:47 whatever Jun 09 17:21:49 well somewhere there anyway ;) Jun 09 17:21:51 what did I miss, where did everyone get dates from? Jun 09 17:22:07 it's not like I'm excited like a child on xmess eve Jun 09 17:22:29 merlin1991: FCC Jun 09 17:23:11 DocScrutinizer: really? ;) Jun 09 17:23:58 lardman: more like bored and stressed like it's ok for old farts facing x-mess hassle Jun 09 17:24:34 I am still excited, but also getting bored Jun 09 17:24:48 and this bloody Tab keyboard is driving me mad, I hate on screen keyboards! Jun 09 17:28:35 * GeneralAntilles is finally excited. Jun 09 17:28:56 ah finally - who creates an on screen keyboard without the ability to have any cursor keys?! Jun 09 17:29:21 GeneralAntilles: I'm getting more worried the longer it takes, and wondering what the delay is Jun 09 17:29:38 Cursor keys are outdated! You simply select where you want to put the cursor with the mouse. Jun 09 17:29:39 "delay" that is Jun 09 17:30:03 SpeedEvil: hmm, not with my big finger + capacitive screen + terminal emulator so I need to scroll up a line Jun 09 17:30:07 stupid Android Jun 09 17:30:18 * lardman backs up kernel to flash Meego on Jun 09 17:30:39 though first I have to go to the shop and get a red onion so I'm told :) Jun 09 17:31:40 In soviet russia, all onions are red onions! Jun 09 17:31:55 lardman: maemo vkbd is similarly evil on missing cursor Jun 09 17:32:22 LATEST NEWS Jun 09 17:32:22 Vertex's cystic fibrosi_ Jun 09 17:32:22 FREE Email Alerts Jun 09 17:32:22 Free Content Jun 09 17:32:22 RTTNews menu Jun 09 17:38:40 RST38h: Where do I sign up for your newsletter? Jun 09 17:40:18 derf: Google Reader, I guess Jun 09 17:43:53 DocScrutinizer: yeah but that hw has a physical cursor while the Tab doesn't Jun 09 17:44:07 we now have some russian onions and wine Jun 09 18:03:31 oh, meego install runs under wine? Jun 09 18:04:22 not really surprising, but still... X-P Jun 09 18:10:45 I like how two prominent IRCD developers (w00t and stskeeps) left their work to move on to NIT development, only to realize it was a mistake in the end Jun 09 18:11:01 hey maybe stskeeps will return to unreal and it'll stop being bad Jun 09 18:11:03 (haw) Jun 09 18:11:30 and pigs will fly! Jun 09 18:12:03 i wanted w00t to go back to inspircd development after he abandoned his NIT fling Jun 09 18:12:11 development on inspircd really stagnated when he left Jun 09 18:12:56 funny, one of the last things he said on the inspircd site was " I'm first in line to purchase a Nokia N900 next week and I think you should be to." Jun 09 18:13:00 so much for that Jun 09 18:13:40 What do you mean "so much for that"? Jun 09 18:14:20 because he pretty much abandoned any work on maemo Jun 09 18:14:30 and the N900 in general Jun 09 18:14:57 I thought he was still fulltime on N900 :P Jun 09 18:15:19 its probab ly still his primary device Jun 09 18:15:27 but i never see him around anymore Jun 09 18:15:43 i figure he pretty much abandoned the maemo communit Jun 09 18:15:48 *community Jun 09 18:16:03 He left this channel because of some loud whiners ruining it Jun 09 18:16:32 doesn't that go for pretty much everyone who left Jun 09 18:16:56 No, some left because they were whiners and nobody gave them attention Jun 09 18:17:10 point there Jun 09 18:17:27 I'd still like him to work on inspircd again Jun 09 18:17:46 the current developers have kinda just left it as is and fixed a some bugs here and there Jun 09 18:18:09 Sazpaimon_, Stskeeps works fulltime on MeeGo N900 adaptation. He just got tired of whiners on tmo Jun 09 18:18:23 oh that's good Jun 09 18:18:39 so he's just leaving the cesspool forum Jun 09 18:18:59 the moderation by comittee model has failed so hard :) Jun 09 18:19:05 i really wish the staff there would just stop being so passive Jun 09 18:19:10 it doesn't work Jun 09 18:22:55 DocScrutinizer: it doesn't run under wine, but wine helps with the porting effort ;) Jun 09 18:26:53 It is very difficult to moderate such as abill_uk. He is super annoying and everything he says is wrong, but he (mostly) doesn't directly break the rules. Jun 09 18:27:32 If everyone would just ignore him then he wouldn't hijack every thread with his shit Jun 09 18:28:28 so what the hell is the big thing planned for maemo community that Zehjotkah is tweeting about? Jun 09 18:28:43 Sazpaimon_: it's quite hard to join the staff ;) Jun 09 18:28:59 lardman, what staff? Jun 09 18:29:01 I used to be a mod, but my privs were removed and I never did get an answer about how to get them back Jun 09 18:29:18 lardman, why were they removed? Jun 09 18:29:18 "staff" on TMO I think Jun 09 18:29:23 I've no clue Jun 09 18:29:23 ah Jun 09 18:29:29 Because he's lardman. Jun 09 18:29:31 I mean. Jun 09 18:29:32 Really. Jun 09 18:29:33 as council Jun 09 18:29:34 hehe Jun 09 18:29:35 LOL Jun 09 18:29:37 I was busy for a month or two and didn't post much and I am lardman Jun 09 18:29:47 GeneralAntilles, I'm glad you clarified that. Jun 09 18:30:10 perhaps it happened around the same time X-Fade removed my avatar from the front page, grrr! Jun 09 18:30:34 whaat? I've missed this bit of drama... Jun 09 18:31:10 mece: I was stuck on the front page for a year or so Jun 09 18:31:12 His avatar was on the front page under the "random" community members heading Jun 09 18:31:13 :) Jun 09 18:31:41 When X-Fade finally fixed it, lardman lost all of his powers. Jun 09 18:31:57 like my credit rating being downgraded to a mere BBB- ;) Jun 09 18:32:12 or should that be a bondage rating Jun 09 18:32:17 or bond even Jun 09 18:32:21 ;) Jun 09 18:32:23 lardman, so staff dont ever ban anyone because theyre afraid of getting their prvis revoked Jun 09 18:32:36 Sazpaimon_: I never banned anyone Jun 09 18:32:52 tbh they probably get bored like I did of the amount of noise on the forum Jun 09 18:33:03 LOL Jun 09 18:33:21 then they, as staff, should oh Jun 09 18:33:24 but equally when I do pop in, it's annoying to not be able to fix things like thread headings Jun 09 18:33:24 abill_uk has been banned Jun 09 18:33:24 i dont know Jun 09 18:33:28 do something about i Jun 09 18:33:28 what Jun 09 18:33:30 really Jun 09 18:33:35 oh happy day Jun 09 18:33:40 oh joyous happy happy day Jun 09 18:33:44 Sazpaimon_: only if paid, otherwise it's a free service Jun 09 18:33:44 not now. It was a while ago Jun 09 18:33:53 it was just for a week or so. Jun 09 18:33:59 bbiab, supper time Jun 09 18:34:14 he did calm down Jun 09 18:34:17 mece, you really know how to make me sad Jun 09 18:34:22 the douchebaggery has escalated again lately though. Jun 09 18:34:34 Sazpaimon_, sorry Jun 09 18:35:15 personally i think something needs to be done about the idiotic 4chan type posts on the board more than anything Jun 09 18:35:20 and the tags Jun 09 18:35:25 theyre obviously useless Jun 09 18:35:26 meh Jun 09 18:35:35 nobody uses tag searching anyway, because the tag search page is broken Jun 09 18:35:40 and nobody seems to have noticed that Jun 09 18:36:10 the tag search page will only show the top thread, and all other threads will appear below the recent posts bar Jun 09 18:36:30 curious Jun 09 18:37:33 since nobody has ever seemed to report this, it leads me to believe that tags have no real functionality anyway Jun 09 18:37:45 though, I do like searching for threads tagged "just shoot me" Jun 09 18:41:02 There should be a a special kind of ban for people who provoke the most thanked member of the forum to leave. Permaban and all posts removed perhaps? Jun 09 18:48:21 Itt-thanks are are rather volatile and random currency Jun 09 18:48:50 just number_of_Itt_posts is more useless in my book Jun 09 18:49:46 abill_uk quoted a post of me to make his point - WAAAAH!! Jun 09 18:50:49 * DocScrutinizer feels abused and raped Jun 09 18:51:23 of course is a partially wrong point, to make things worse Jun 09 18:52:12 which in a weird sense makes my post wrong as well Jun 09 18:55:50 DocScrutinizer, if you only watch thanks or only watch post count then they make no sense, but together they make some sense imo. Jun 09 18:56:17 DocScrutinizer, where did abill quote you? Jun 09 18:56:32 yeah rather than thanks you need an agree/disagree/thanks trio Jun 09 18:56:43 also one should be able to see who set any given tag Jun 09 18:56:55 lardman, you do! Jun 09 18:56:57 but equally they don't have any use Jun 09 18:57:10 mece: I do?! Jun 09 18:57:11 http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=1025496#post1025496 Jun 09 18:57:42 lardman, well it says "The Following User Says Thank You to lardman For This Useful Post:" Jun 09 18:58:08 no I meant the silly tags that are added to threads Jun 09 18:58:13 oh Jun 09 18:58:14 yeah. Jun 09 18:58:43 might shame people into not posting silly tags Jun 09 18:59:14 I tend look at posts/thanks ratio to decide if I need to pay extra attention to someone. Jun 09 18:59:27 erm thanks/posts ratio I mean :) Jun 09 19:01:00 usually if it's around 1 the sum is somewhat significant (like 1000 or so) you can conclude that it's a somewhat productive member :) Jun 09 19:19:35 i added this repository http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel but still don't have libqt4-maemo5-sql-mysql http://maemo.org/packages/view/libqt4-maemo5-sql-mysql/ !!! anyidea ? Jun 09 19:20:54 maour: what do you want? libqt4-sql should do it Jun 09 19:22:08 hiemanshu: i want to read from mysql on another server Jun 09 19:22:32 maour: install libqt4-sql and libqt4-sql-mysql Jun 09 19:22:35 http://maemo.org/packages/view/libqt4-sql-mysql/ Jun 09 19:22:58 hiemanshu: i don't have any package with these name !

Jun 09 19:23:57 mece: mine dropped to an abysmal ratio from an almost 7/1 thanks/posts some 8 months ago Jun 09 19:24:09 i'm sure i have extra-devel Jun 09 19:24:19 there is too many update after that Jun 09 19:25:19 maour: if its enabled it should be there Jun 09 19:25:27 or use the command-line to install it Jun 09 19:25:34 mece: to many answers to fools, I guess Jun 09 19:25:56 some one give me a link to all the bugs found in the final n900 firmware release by nokia Jun 09 19:26:23 hiemanshu: maybe i added something wrong! distribution : fremantle and components : free non-free Jun 09 19:26:41 is that right ? Jun 09 19:26:47 mece: don't ask about the flames I received when I vaguely announced I *might* consider removing posts that got no thanks, for the mere reason to reduce noise on the forum ;-P Jun 09 19:26:47 yeah Jun 09 19:27:02 mece: my *own* posts, nota bene Jun 09 19:27:45 https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11908 Jun 09 19:27:46 ?

Jun 09 20:01:28 Maybe someone can help me: my net connection is fine, but whenever I use FAM it keeps saying 'unable to open a network connection' and still does the job. It's annoying... Any clue? Jun 09 20:01:40 phap, what is FAM? Jun 09 20:01:55 Faster application manager Jun 09 20:02:05 that is bloatware Jun 09 20:02:05 It worked fine until today Jun 09 20:02:09 just use apt Jun 09 20:02:41 well sure I can use apt but I like also this way Jun 09 20:05:42 phap: afaik it's fapman :) Jun 09 20:24:43 moo Jun 09 20:24:45 well fapman then :-) Jun 09 20:24:57 so, anything new and interesting?

Jun 09 20:31:30 RST38h, MeeGo's development isn't sane Jun 09 20:31:34 it's like tmo with 200x the trolls and 0.5x the developers Jun 09 20:31:47 javispedro: btw, where is Stskeeps leaving?

Jun 09 22:04:51 jacekowski: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/140560606120 Jun 09 22:05:19 £4 for shipping Jun 09 22:14:16 Venemo, hey! Jun 09 22:14:27 hey mece, what's up? Jun 09 22:14:49 Venemo, could you help me with a notification thing? Jun 09 22:15:01 mece, sure, what's the question? Jun 09 22:15:29 I'm using your QMaemo5Notification that you posted somewhere, but I can't get that fracker to open in the same window, and not open a new one on every notification Jun 09 22:15:41 same as the app that is Jun 09 22:19:41 mece, "open in the same window"=? Jun 09 22:20:35 mece, first, use the q-extas library which contains this class (updated since that time) with some more options Jun 09 22:21:16 Venemo, well yes. my app is always visible (unlike the thing you used it for), so when I get a notifications a new window or app or whatever you call it, pops up. I'd like it to open on top of the actual app. Jun 09 22:21:29 Venemo, that's the one I'm using Jun 09 22:21:51 or maybe not. Well regardless. I don't want to break stuff that works right now.. Jun 09 22:22:55 mece, in order to make the notifications appear as one, you will need to use the setCategory method on the instances. Jun 09 22:23:02 mece, you need to set the same category for them Jun 09 22:23:13 o--k.. Jun 09 22:23:17 mece, as for overlaying them over your app, you will need some more hacks Jun 09 22:23:36 no it's ok to just put them on top of eachoter as a new "app" Jun 09 22:23:45 I jsut don't want 100 windows if I leave it too long Jun 09 22:24:46 or actually I want them to replace eachoter.. or something.. Jun 09 22:24:49 well regardless Jun 09 22:26:44 mece, thp once explained to me that the overlaying can be configured in a config file in /etc/hildon-whatever (a very bad practice by the Hildon devs). you basically need to add a few lines to that file in your postinst and remove them in your prerm Jun 09 22:26:56 mece, the exact name of that file escapes me at the moment Jun 09 22:27:09 Venemo, ow... well that blows a tad. Jun 09 22:27:35 mece, but if you simply want them to appear as one, you'll need to set the same category on them Jun 09 22:27:36 Venemo, but can I replace an already existing notification with a new one? Jun 09 22:27:49 ok where, and to which object do I add the thing? Jun 09 22:27:50 mece, you can call hide() on the previous one Jun 09 22:28:34 how do I access it? Jun 09 22:28:41 or even tell if it exists? Jun 09 22:28:57 all I do is call QMaemo5Notification::nonExpiringInformation( ... ) Jun 09 22:29:22 mece, if you want more advanced functionality, you will need a bit more coding Jun 09 22:29:29 http://vcs.maemo.org/svn/q-extras/q-extras/qemaemo5notification.h Jun 09 22:29:53 QeMaemo5Notification *myNotification = new QeMaemo5Notification("Hello"); Jun 09 22:29:57 then you can call Jun 09 22:30:17 if (myNotification->isVisible()) myNotification->hide(); Jun 09 22:30:45 oo.. that looks pretty sweet :) Jun 09 22:31:04 mece, as I said, QMaemo5Notification is very old code, QeMaemo5Notification is the new one and it's more functional Jun 09 22:31:04 I'll replace with this lib. Seems much better :) Jun 09 22:31:16 ok thanks. I hadn't found the code Jun 09 22:31:28 mece, as I said, just download the lib and the -dev package (you can install it into MADDE) Jun 09 22:31:43 mece, then all you will need is: Jun 09 22:31:49 CONFIG += link_pkgconfig Jun 09 22:31:57 PKGCONFIG += q-extras Jun 09 22:32:01 in your .pro file Jun 09 22:32:09 I'd rather build it inside the project, if that's possible Jun 09 22:32:30 mece, why is that? Jun 09 22:33:31 it is possible of course, but I'd advise against it Jun 09 22:33:41 oh nevermind :) I guess I'd need to depend on the package then Jun 09 22:34:49 mece, you can add it as a maemo5-only dependency Jun 09 22:34:51 hm how do I install stuff into madde anyway? I've never done that I think.. Jun 09 22:34:56 yep Jun 09 22:35:14 mad-admin xdpkg -i mypackage.deb Jun 09 22:35:23 erm Jun 09 22:35:59 mad-admin is located right where 'mad' is Jun 09 22:36:23 uhu... Jun 09 22:36:55 I just have no idea about that stuff. When things get weird I just pull the git to scratchbox and do it there :) Jun 09 22:38:00 mece, no worries, this is not difficult Jun 09 22:38:24 mece, it _was_ difficult a year ago when I had to copy-paste the package contents into the sysroot Jun 09 22:38:30 hehe Jun 09 22:38:42 so where do I find mad-admin? Jun 09 22:38:53 same place as 'mad' Jun 09 22:39:00 which SDK do you use? Jun 09 22:39:02 where do I find mad? Jun 09 22:39:13 QtSDK wheteverversionthelatestis Jun 09 22:39:22 are you on Linux? Jun 09 22:39:29 2.2.0 Jun 09 22:39:30 yes Jun 09 22:39:52 ~/QtSDK/Maemo5/4.6.2/madbin or something like that Jun 09 22:41:22 k found it :) Jun 09 22:41:29 thanks Jun 09 22:41:53 some time ago I gave up on that SDK, because it's a huge piece of bloatware Jun 09 22:42:14 now I just have MADDE installed from the MeeGo SDK repo, and the newest Qt Creator from the Fedora repo :) Jun 09 22:44:32 Well it's quite convenient application several platforms Jun 09 22:44:57 there's no mad-admin here.. Jun 09 22:45:40 there is dpkg tho.. Jun 09 22:49:56 I think this was a bit too complicated for today... Jun 09 22:50:20 then you found the bad location Jun 09 22:50:39 there is a mad-admin executable in one of those bin directories Jun 09 22:50:51 maybe use 'find' to find it? Jun 09 22:54:41 ok it worked \o/ Jun 09 22:54:54 Package 'q-extras-dev' installed. Jun 09 22:55:14 mece, :) Jun 09 22:55:26 mece, you'll need both the lib and the -dev package Jun 09 22:55:56 mece, btw, MohammadAG for one uses it the same way in his app as you said Jun 09 22:56:25 mece, and he also depends on the library :) Jun 09 22:56:40 nice Jun 09 22:56:45 ah yes Jun 09 22:58:03 how do I import it? Jun 09 22:58:07 erm include Jun 09 22:58:10 #include Jun 09 22:58:50 mece, http://vcs.maemo.org/svn/q-extras/q-extras/examples/notification/main.cpp Jun 09 22:59:01 thanks Jun 09 22:59:30 you're welcome :) Jun 09 23:00:05 you could check te app at http://vcs.maemo.org/svn/q-extras/q-extras/examples/notification/ -> it is very simple **** ENDING LOGGING AT Fri Jun 10 02:59:57 2011
