**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed Sep 28 02:59:56 2011 Sep 28 03:02:55 heh Sep 28 05:20:14 hello Sep 28 05:35:30 http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/09/27/apple_trademark_follies/ <-- well one positive step so far Sep 28 05:46:23 Jaffa, can you switch to iOS and kill that off for us? :P Sep 28 06:48:51 Morning Sep 28 06:49:59 Morning Sep 28 07:02:26 hmm, this may be relevant: https://meego.com/community/blogs/imad/2011/whats-next-meego - meego's dead, tizen is the new hotness? Sep 28 07:02:48 hotness if you consider html and javascript hot Sep 28 07:02:51 welcome html5-apps-only-world :( Sep 28 07:02:51 ... Sep 28 07:02:55 flux: watching the fires burn in #tizen Sep 28 07:03:10 didn't webos already try that thing anyway? Sep 28 07:03:31 maybe tizen would've made sense if they were able to continue the webos effort Sep 28 07:06:52 wmarone: fires of #meego are fun too Sep 28 07:07:15 oh yes Sep 28 07:07:25 but this is just a fresh dousing of gasoline Sep 28 07:07:38 intel's done a bang up job at dropping the ball Sep 28 07:09:08 as have Nokia :) Sep 28 07:14:48 Sounds like someone ought to simply quit all this madness, and go back to a Maemo-clone, based on near-stock debian. create a PowerTablet and PowerPhone with the best multitasking and professional applications in the world Sep 28 07:17:05 robbiethe1st: as a Debian developer, I could only advise removing the phrase near-stock Sep 28 07:17:42 robbiethe1st: although the pkg-maemo folks recently had hildon/etc removed from Debian, since they figured maemo was abandoned Sep 28 07:17:43 :) Sep 28 07:18:25 Well, I'd /like/ stock debian, but that would be *very* unlikely. Sep 28 07:18:41 So decended from debian, like Ubuntu or Maemo would be my next choice. Sep 28 07:19:25 yeah, even the OpenMoko devices are still not supported by Debian years later, mainly due to lack of interest from the OpenMoko guys in upstreaming kernel patches Sep 28 07:20:00 Sad. Sep 28 07:20:32 * pabs3 still has hope Sep 28 07:21:22 especially since it contains the first GSM chip that bb.osmocom.org runs on Sep 28 07:48:48 Morning, all Sep 28 07:49:17 GAN900: Indeed; but at this rate you'll only be left with WinMob 7 Sep 28 08:01:04 morning Jaffa Sep 28 08:02:03 morning Sep 28 08:02:34 <_berto_> https://www.meego.com/community/blogs/imad/2011/whats-next-meego Sep 28 08:03:21 http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=77986 Sep 28 08:15:55 anyone tried flash 10.2, is it more stable than development beta, does it use hw acceleration? Sep 28 08:18:02 Arkenoi: I thought flash 11 was the first with GLES2 accel? Sep 28 08:19:07 there is flash 10.2? Sep 28 08:19:23 ErwinJunge, 10 accelerates videos Sep 28 08:19:50 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17921588#post17921588 Sep 28 08:20:03 Oops, I mixed it up with the new lightspark thing, see http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=OTkzOA Sep 28 08:26:23 http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/28/meego-to-be-folded-into-linux-based-tizen-os-slated-to-arrive-i/ Sep 28 08:27:40 I think they restart the project under a different name always when it starts to see the day of light Sep 28 08:30:26 flux: they didn't restart it, they finish it Sep 28 08:34:56 DocScrutinizer: I got the usb fixed and at the same time had the sim failure thing fixed. Phone still works, and so far (about 12 hours now) haven't had the sim go missing yet. Thanks for the info on how to fix it :) Sep 28 08:43:36 https://meego.com/community/blogs/imad/2011/whats-next-meego Sep 28 08:44:52 so, basically, meego's officially dead now? Sep 28 08:45:24 it ever was alive? Sep 28 08:45:37 hence me putting "officially" in there :) Sep 28 08:46:10 heh Sep 28 08:47:27 We believe the future belongs to HTML5-based applications, outside of a relatively small percentage of apps, and we are firmly convinced that our investment needs to shift toward HTML5. <-- WTF Sep 28 08:47:36 yup Sep 28 08:47:52 html5 is the way since all else went to android... Sep 28 08:47:54 lol Sep 28 08:47:54 ruskie: look like an attemp to kill open source os on mobile Sep 28 08:48:21 there's still bada Sep 28 08:48:23 bwahahaha Sep 28 08:48:23 khertan, it was ever alive? Sep 28 08:48:26 let the GTK3.2 rule Sep 28 08:48:31 ruskie: yes. THEY believe, developer do not. Sep 28 08:48:35 run gimp on browser Sep 28 08:48:47 * ruskie goes bash head against a few dozen walls Sep 28 08:48:50 how about GNOME 3 or KDE Plasma Active? Sep 28 08:49:17 "Granted, this is a judgment on our part on which reasonable people could disagree, but that's the conclusion I came to." <-- so they actually accept that they might be totaly insane Sep 28 08:49:29 sure Sep 28 08:49:52 "hey! let's fuck up everything! I like the plan, go for it!" Sep 28 08:49:56 :) Sep 28 08:50:34 hahahaha Sep 28 08:50:54 so is cssu all qt now? :) Sep 28 08:51:01 that would be nice Sep 28 08:51:42 what happened with the maemo council elections? Sep 28 08:52:08 yeah.. meego is fail with that html5 stuff Sep 28 08:52:21 i am surprised they didn't put "cloud" somewhere in there Sep 28 08:52:25 [10:46:47] run gimp on browser <== Well there is this x86 emulation in javascript... ;) Sep 28 08:52:34 you mean Tizen? Sep 28 08:52:37 i am so sick of hearing the word cloud Sep 28 08:52:46 lol meego Sep 28 08:52:53 Macer, well maybe they just didn't consider something like eyeos Sep 28 08:53:08 heh Sep 28 08:53:12 eyeos isn't too bad Sep 28 08:53:18 yeah frankly it isn't Sep 28 08:53:20 it's a nice idea Sep 28 08:53:24 yeah Sep 28 08:53:30 at least i thought it was Sep 28 08:53:33 now "we believe the future belongs to HTML5-based applications". Well, it didn't take long... what's next? Sep 28 08:53:48 and wtf is a html5 based applicatioN? Sep 28 08:53:56 how long until Tizen is binned? Sep 28 08:54:00 ruskie: something in the cloud Sep 28 08:54:01 I give it 2 years. Sep 28 08:54:03 google, youtube, gmail, etc Sep 28 08:54:10 and html5 does offline storage Sep 28 08:54:27 so it stores the cloud? :) Sep 28 08:54:34 It's so funny how they constantly start new projects and then bin them Sep 28 08:54:36 makes it easier for them, they just need a browser Sep 28 08:54:59 well.. i'm sure they may need to throw a dialer in there somewhere Sep 28 08:55:00 ruskie: html5 + javascript + whatever server side software you want. Sep 28 08:55:22 Shapeshifter, so basically a webapp/servlet Sep 28 08:55:24 Macer: only on the phones Sep 28 08:55:25 yeah. Sep 28 08:55:28 well.. there is still cssu Sep 28 08:55:32 :) Sep 28 08:55:36 google wants to kill javascript anyway Sep 28 08:55:40 holding out Sep 28 08:55:43 google wants to kill everything Sep 28 08:55:45 seriously Sep 28 08:55:46 ruskie: although I guess you could run them locally. Like the widgets in KDE for example. Sep 28 08:55:48 screw google Sep 28 08:55:52 they want to be the pipe, data, everything provider Sep 28 08:56:02 as far as I care google can go the way of the dinos along with m$ Sep 28 08:56:13 Shapeshifter, still same thing... Sep 28 08:56:17 meh. google is fine Sep 28 08:56:20 a webserver on localhost:8080 is the same thing Sep 28 08:56:25 ruskie: yep Sep 28 08:56:31 so, yeah, options now are android or something bada-based :( Sep 28 08:56:35 if anything there is one thing i can say about google ... at least they centralized android Sep 28 08:56:43 doc|home: you forgot about just keeping your n900. Sep 28 08:56:45 doc|home, I'll stick to S40 devices while they exist Sep 28 08:56:54 Shapeshifter: will die eventually Sep 28 08:56:58 buy a spare Sep 28 08:56:59 and yeah... while the n900 lives Sep 28 08:57:09 ruskie: can't go from an n900 to a symbian machine :/ Sep 28 08:57:17 doc|home, s40 is sub-symbian ;) Sep 28 08:57:24 it actually works Sep 28 08:57:27 heh Sep 28 08:57:27 unlike s60 Sep 28 08:57:30 haha Sep 28 08:58:01 someone needs to make an s40 style mobile linux device Sep 28 08:58:11 for "developing" countries Sep 28 08:58:17 I wonder what those openmoko guys are doing :D Sep 28 08:58:20 * doc|home sobs Sep 28 08:58:23 ben note iirc Sep 28 08:58:27 yeah Sep 28 08:58:36 https://www.tizen.org/devices is this copy pasta from meego? Sep 28 08:58:38 ruskie, I think that's coming Sep 28 08:58:39 ruskie, motorola did iirc Sep 28 08:58:40 I still have a freerunner I've no use for, waste of time Sep 28 08:58:50 honestly. an open os on a phone was unrealistic anyways Sep 28 08:59:09 Macer, yeah due to legal limitations of tampering with the airways Sep 28 08:59:18 Macer, why? (if you screw US operator-dominated market as non-relevant) Sep 28 08:59:22 among other things Sep 28 08:59:29 Arkenoi, they did? which one? Sep 28 08:59:41 money Sep 28 09:00:13 open os on a phone does not have a guarenteed yield Sep 28 09:00:20 macer: if you just do handsets and your business is handsets, not "service", you can Sep 28 09:00:34 actually nokia could if they understood this point more clearly Sep 28 09:00:52 with a microsoft ceo what should be expected? :/ Sep 28 09:01:02 android only gives the facade of being an open os Sep 28 09:01:07 Arkenoi, you mean motorola rokr em30? limo based? Sep 28 09:01:51 night Sep 28 09:02:08 doc|home: no business would ever chase after a truly open os on a phone Sep 28 09:02:42 Macer: there's no reason they couldn't other than the GSM legislation Sep 28 09:02:52 the decentralization and lack of control will always cause it to unwind Sep 28 09:03:20 oh. i am sure they can do it.... but they wont Sep 28 09:03:29 * doc|home sleeps Sep 28 09:03:51 you will never see the phone counterpart to a linux base to make distros with Sep 28 09:04:08 it will never happen Sep 28 09:04:08 I think to get to a properly open phone device you would need to start with non-phone devices Sep 28 09:04:31 which would be near impossible as well Sep 28 09:04:41 unless you make your own Sep 28 09:04:58 open on mobile devices is dragon chasing Sep 28 09:05:06 sorry to say it Sep 28 09:05:11 doc|home, ok, i agree to have closed GSM firmware (though i believe manufacturers may bypass it, like chinese guys do) Sep 28 09:05:20 Media devices(portable and normal), Gaming devices(portable and normal) then once you are racking the money in based on those you start building the base for mobile devices Sep 28 09:05:22 cssu is probably the only thing even close Sep 28 09:05:38 Macer, MeeGo CE Sep 28 09:05:39 You just certify the thing and then specs on internal programming "accidentally" leak out Sep 28 09:05:50 and you are hardly liable Sep 28 09:05:56 mece: only functional thing Sep 28 09:06:07 so GSM consortium may just fsck off Sep 28 09:06:14 I'm out. tata. Sep 28 09:08:11 maybe even specific devices like ben note, ebook readers would help as well... make a security model that doesn't screw the consumer but still provides some semblance of DRM like functionality for publishers Sep 28 09:12:49 and get industrial designers and marketing departments working on it... along with getting ties to media producers Sep 28 09:37:11 is anyone else having problems reading wikipedia with microb? the first two columns are on top of each other for me Sep 28 09:43:42 wtf, tizen? Sep 28 09:43:51 yet another "toolkit" as base? Sep 28 09:44:25 :/ Sep 28 09:45:44 * merlin1991 wonders what that will mean for meego ce and the community obs Sep 28 09:50:54 khertan, they may not restart it, but when it went from maemo to meego, everything was rewritten in Qt. and not it seems that meego->tizen means everything will be rewritten with html5. Sep 28 09:51:05 (not->now) Sep 28 09:52:08 Actually most of harmattan is sitll in MTF, not Qt or QMl Sep 28 10:02:34 flux: it s not a restart, it s just an attempt to kill open source os on mobile Sep 28 10:35:01 what happened with the maemo council elections?

Sep 28 11:34:46 Tizen builds upon MeeGo* and LiMo and will deliver an application framework built upon HTML5/WAC 2.0 standards to help developers reuse and extend their code across multiple OS's, app stores, and devices. Sep 28 11:58:36 bwahahaha, another bait & switch BS promise to "help developers reuse and extend their code across multiple OS'" Sep 28 12:00:00 damn, IF you'd follow their path, you had a complete bin and rewrite from scratch for the 5th or so time in the last 2 years, to keep your apps reusable and cross-platform Sep 28 12:01:28 DocScrutinizer it juts arrived Sep 28 12:01:35 no USB cable though.... Sep 28 12:03:56 that's pretty bad - a USB-AM<->micro-BM cable is mandatory, as is a genuine nokia fastcharger, and I'd also be not too happy when the AV cable was missing as it'S hard to get and expensive Sep 28 12:06:15 Hi Sep 28 12:07:55 got everything apart from the "USB-AM<->micro-BM" Sep 28 12:07:56 :/ Sep 28 12:11:07 * Sicelo thinks u can use same cable as most other phones. eg, samsung. or am i mistaken? Sep 28 12:14:59 hmh, so the n9 is announced but it's barely available anywhere? Sep 28 12:21:33 hi everyone Sep 28 12:25:55 This device uses a different GPU (which handles the camera) to the N8, and it isn't as good. <-- is this true???? the GPU handles the camera? Sep 28 12:26:46 on the n900? Sep 28 12:29:27 acidspunk, in general Sep 28 12:29:36 though this is a comment on the N9 on elreg Sep 28 12:30:03 on the n900 I think it's the dsp Sep 28 12:46:29 ruskie: It's not really Sep 28 12:46:54 ruskie: There is a seperate very limited core which does processing of the camera stream Sep 28 12:47:25 The reason the N8 camera si better is basically that the camera module is simply better. Sep 28 12:47:38 The processing has almost nothing to do with it. Sep 28 12:48:08 whats the best way to transfer music/video files to internall storage without USb cable people ? Sep 28 12:48:15 winscp ? install an ftp server ? Sep 28 12:48:22 ^ n900 Sep 28 12:48:40 I use rsync Sep 28 12:48:45 and sometimes sftp Sep 28 12:49:01 HyperSnyper: you can get those relatively cheap on ebay, google for CA-101 to get a genuine one, or pick any arbitrary cable. Anyway get such a cable, YOU'LL NEED IT! Sep 28 12:49:04 scp is the main way I trasnfer things Sep 28 12:49:16 have orderd already DocScrutinizer Sep 28 12:49:19 but 3 days eta Sep 28 12:49:20 :P Sep 28 12:49:21 :-) Sep 28 12:49:39 also any vital apps ?

Sep 28 12:52:03 also everytime i got app manager main screen it checks for update.. Sep 28 12:52:05 bit annoying Sep 28 12:52:29 openssh client+server Sep 28 12:52:33 it's not exactly the best you could get, but suffices to tell when shit happens on your device Sep 28 12:53:14 HyperSnyper: (check fro updates) yeah some bug in HAM introduced with PR1.3 probably Sep 28 12:53:52 nobody bothered to look into it more deeply (except javispedro once) Sep 28 12:54:03 so it's not getting fixed :-/ Sep 28 12:54:07 xchat, recorder, firefox, khweetur, opera, wifieye Sep 28 12:54:15 speaking of camera and dsp did anyone ever figure how to get rid of the stutter while filming Sep 28 12:54:32 none here Sep 28 12:54:34 ever Sep 28 12:54:34 Someone mentioned earlier that locking the CPU to 600MHz worked for them Sep 28 12:54:39 DocScrutinizer: video?

Sep 28 12:55:40 thought internal browser was built of FF Sep 28 12:55:41 ? Sep 28 12:55:58 HyperSnyper: tweakr!!! Sep 28 12:56:03 HyperSnyper: firefox and opera are not any better (and in some ways worse than) mucrob Sep 28 12:56:26 But, every browser has issues with some sites, and having alternatives is good. Sep 28 12:56:31 also any things that save alota power i should disable/enable ? Sep 28 12:56:32 to get custom profiles, and whatnot else Sep 28 12:56:37 Also - opera has opera turbo, and configurable loading of images Sep 28 12:56:40 already got the 2g/3g dual Sep 28 12:56:51 This can greatly reduce data use Sep 28 12:56:55 opera turbo is nice Sep 28 12:57:10 use it on my s40 nokia Sep 28 12:57:11 hahaha Sep 28 12:57:18 fbreader Sep 28 12:57:28 yeah fbreader is amazing Sep 28 12:57:32 timed Sep 28 12:57:46 THE cron alternative Sep 28 12:57:55 nice Sep 28 12:57:57 cron <3 Sep 28 12:58:07 no cron on maemo Sep 28 12:58:07 xarchiver for zip and rar files Sep 28 12:58:14 did alot fun stuff on the dreambox with cron and bash scripts Sep 28 12:59:01 C FM Radio or FM Radio Player ?

Sep 28 16:05:00 it includes Angry Bird Magic :) Sep 28 16:06:18 the only relation of N9 to meego is Intel kicked Nokia's balls by abandoning meego right in time to make Nokia look like a fool with their renaming of maemo6-harmattan to meego Sep 28 16:06:38 and now Intel is abandoning Meego Sep 28 16:07:04 err that's what I just said, yes Sep 28 16:07:17 oh Sep 28 16:07:19 I got it Sep 28 16:07:37 well if you see it that way, that's a nice revenge Sep 28 16:07:39 from Intel Sep 28 16:07:46 yeah Sep 28 16:07:48 yeah Sep 28 16:08:44 Nokia now was WAY BETTER off with N9 labeled "OS: maemo6 harmattan" Sep 28 16:09:22 as maemo excelled on 770, N8x0, N900 Sep 28 16:09:27 indeed Sep 28 16:09:27 nokia couldn't have come out on top, what with internal opposition to the thing Sep 28 16:09:33 while meego did what exactly? Sep 28 16:09:42 though I haven't seen the OS myself yet, if you say it's Maemo, they should have branded it that way Sep 28 16:10:02 it IS Maemo Sep 28 16:10:04 MeeGo has done nothing Sep 28 16:10:07 with the app layer done in Qt Sep 28 16:10:15 Qt is great :) Sep 28 16:10:28 * pabs3 wonders if this will delay the N9 release, quickly s/MeeGo/Maemo/ everwhere and rebuild Sep 28 16:10:31 so basically the last year was completely fucking wasted. Sep 28 16:10:35 Sc0rpius: I know, the MeeGo CE doesn't exist at all... Sep 28 16:10:44 pabs3, that would be the best Nokia could do Sep 28 16:11:01 pabs3: hahaha Sep 28 16:11:13 too late, but then again that's Nokia Sep 28 17:24:53 so meego disappeared as well? D: Sep 28 17:25:29 FIQ: got you believing in it, didn't they?=) Sep 28 17:26:37 "The Tizen application programming interfaces are based on HTML5 and other web standards, and we anticipate that the vast majority of Tizen application development will be based on these emerging standards." so an upgraded web OS, more or less?

Sep 28 18:07:31 timeless: (for sale) now this time for real google is your best friend Sep 28 18:07:54 DocScrutinizer: froogle (google product search) only fouind one vendor, who claimed it was available for preorder Sep 28 18:08:17 yeah, shipping started like 2 days ago Sep 28 18:08:21 and nokia's web site is hopeless (well, unchanged, and hopeless), so i can't use it to find a purchase link Sep 28 18:08:28 but who's selling it? Sep 28 18:08:32 i want to link to a sale button Sep 28 18:08:33 timeless: buy it from ebay at a billion dollars Sep 28 18:09:26 timeless: dunno, amazon?

Sep 28 18:13:38 the ssh story isn't wonderful Sep 28 18:13:52 but for that, i'm relatively happy to use my PlayBook Sep 28 18:14:30 http://wiki.meego.com/User:Javispedro/Aegis_limitations Sep 28 18:15:50 * DocScrutinizer waves and heads out for a nice beer Sep 28 18:18:19 * timeless likes how the list is :: namespaced except for `tcb` which isn't Sep 28 18:18:23 consistency++ Sep 28 18:18:41 although, call-ui::call-ui is nice Sep 28 18:19:50 timeless: worksforme, it gives me an ok fi string in an otherwise en page Sep 28 18:19:53 :D Sep 28 18:20:04 wow! Sep 28 18:20:09 picture or something? Sep 28 18:20:41 hmm ...cantbearsed :) Sep 28 18:21:04 yeah, paste-to-the-web is nowhere near as easy as pastebin Sep 28 18:21:08 :( Sep 28 18:21:26 how about a pastebin of the page (html or rendered) ? Sep 28 18:22:10 after reading all this whining about aegis I am wondering what the developer mode in n9 setting does? Sep 28 18:22:25 petteri: presumably develsh Sep 28 18:22:30 does n9 still have developer mode? Sep 28 18:22:39 petteri: I don't think there's been a report of what the actual released n9s have Sep 28 18:22:41 which is all the things not listed in the page DocScrutinizer linked :) Sep 28 18:22:56 SpeedEvil: has there been a report of a genuine n9 in the wild? Sep 28 18:23:03 timeless: no. Sep 28 18:23:49 so the aegis stuff is just FUD? Sep 28 18:23:59 petteri: no Sep 28 18:24:07 aegis is most definitely a designed feature of the n9 Sep 28 18:24:24 and it was designed partly based on requirements from certain nokia groups and presumably operators Sep 28 18:24:36 those groups and third parties are almost entirely irrelevant in the real world Sep 28 18:24:40 that I know, but i thought there were dev mode to access stuff on n9 Sep 28 18:24:40 but management doesn't live in the real world Sep 28 18:24:42 Aegis is unimportant if all you want to do is develop simple user-mode apps that do not touch the hardware in any way, and sell them to users through ovi store. Sep 28 18:24:49 and heck, they don't really live at all at this point :) Sep 28 18:25:02 SpeedEvil: is the ovi store really going to even be there? Sep 28 18:25:06 For anything outside that - it gets complex. Sep 28 18:25:08 it certainly won't be there in 2015 :) Sep 28 18:25:13 timeless: And yes, that's a big issue. Sep 28 18:25:18 * SpeedEvil points at ovi store for n900. Sep 28 18:25:26 is that around? Sep 28 18:25:31 No Sep 28 18:25:34 i recently got errors trying to use HAM Sep 28 18:25:41 It was sorta- for a few months, but it died. Sep 28 18:25:41 seems like certain nokia services got dropped Sep 28 18:25:54 I note that you _still_ can't buy angry birds levels. Sep 28 18:26:01 a guy at a Toronto based book fair suggested i could download his group's app from the ovi store Sep 28 18:26:02 (on n950 at least) Sep 28 18:26:09 * RST38h laughs satanically Sep 28 18:26:11 he clearly didn't realize the n900 wasn't compatible w/ symbian Sep 28 18:26:30 thankfully i had my BlackBerry and was able to download his app from our App World Sep 28 18:26:43 the reward for the download was a free bag (which i needed for books i got at the fair) Sep 28 18:26:55 Clearly the opportunity for a community baser merbian. Sep 28 18:27:34 well, iirc you were supposed to be able to Write a letter to Symbian Foundation asking for a Sources Repo on Disk Sep 28 18:27:35 * RST38h ponders how long RiM will stay in business, continues laughing satanically Sep 28 18:27:38 but that offer may have expired Sep 28 18:27:50 RST38h: hey, we lasted longer than MeeGo and WebOS :) Sep 28 18:27:53 * vmlemon_ notes that the source is still available on SourceForge and Google Code :) Sep 28 18:28:01 vmlemon_: really? Sep 28 18:28:05 so nobody knows what the developer mode on n9 does? Sep 28 18:28:07 did someone actually hg push those? Sep 28 18:28:09 Yup Sep 28 18:28:15 vmlemon_: oh cool Sep 28 18:28:22 lol, it's a game of which ship sinks slowest ;) Sep 28 18:28:29 sp3000: yes! Sep 28 18:28:34 * timeless wants to be on that ship Sep 28 18:28:48 http://code.google.com/p/symbian-incubation-projects and http://sourceforge.net/projects/symbiandump/files/ Sep 28 18:28:50 Win XP is one of those ships too fwiw Sep 28 18:29:06 vmlemon_: hrm Sep 28 18:29:08 that's a code drop Sep 28 18:29:10 not an hg clone Sep 28 18:29:14 (at least the sf one) Sep 28 18:29:44 You can import the .hg files into Mercurial, and reconstitute the repository histories, somehow... Sep 28 18:30:00 vmlemon_: i doubt it Sep 28 18:30:04 Hmm. Sep 28 18:30:08 the Hg content was considerably larger than 500mb Sep 28 18:30:09 * vmlemon_ believes that the SF stuff was lifted from the Foundation's FTP server, prior to its closure. Sep 28 18:30:16 Is it me, or has most of the spam in ovi store been cleaned out? Sep 28 18:30:22 unless someone was getting much better compression Sep 28 18:30:26 you. Sep 28 18:30:37 the former doesn't seem to have the MCL stuff Sep 28 18:30:42 which is probably main-code-line Sep 28 18:30:46 If you really wanted it, you could register on symbian.nokia.com, accept their NDA and access the latest core OS code under a weird Shared Source licence... Sep 28 18:30:47 * timeless never asked what it stood for Sep 28 18:31:01 Master Code Line, Release Code Line, and Feature Code Line. Sep 28 18:31:23 vmlemon_: you had the unfortunate experience of some actual involvement w/ symbian? Sep 28 18:31:27 Right Sep 28 18:31:30 my sympathies Sep 28 18:32:08 oh right, we actually vaguely interacted when i poked symbian Sep 28 18:32:14 (that was probably 2 years ago) Sep 28 18:32:16 It's not *that* bad, in comparison to some OSes... Sep 28 18:32:25 which ones? Sep 28 18:32:28 and which layers? Sep 28 18:32:36 actually yes, some parts of symbian really didn't seem too bad Sep 28 18:32:49 As far as APIs and architecture are concerned, Bada comes to mind. Sep 28 18:32:57 heh Sep 28 18:33:08 I haven't been impressed by the Android APIs, during my current exploration of them, either. Sep 28 18:34:16 (Try populating a list widget from an XML-defined String array, or obtaining the number of contacts in the system DB from another class - without crashing your application at launch)... Sep 28 18:34:44 heh Sep 28 18:34:50 i've had to deal w/ the contacts api Sep 28 18:34:53 there are at least 2 Sep 28 18:34:55 the old deprecated one Sep 28 18:34:59 and the new replacement one Sep 28 18:35:13 * vmlemon_ notes that he's supposed to familiarise himself with that steaming turd for an upcoming contract. Sep 28 18:35:26 my sympathies Sep 28 18:37:21 Last time that I checked, you had to override and subclass a ton of crap, and then chain various "Adapters" together to do anything - in the former scenario. Sep 28 18:37:57 Even just figuring out how to make a button work was a pain in the arse... Sep 28 18:38:24 (I eventually got 2 working, but never figured out how to make a checkbox enable or disable a given UI widget). Sep 28 18:38:54 * timeless is happy Sep 28 18:39:07 * timeless has a full screen youtube video running on the other display Sep 28 18:39:36 Given the choice, I'd rather work with Qt - but I guess that I can't be too choosy right now, if it brings much-needed income. Sep 28 18:41:54 As for other nominations for "Worse than Symbian OS", I'd happily nominate Win32... Sep 28 18:42:00 heh Sep 28 18:42:08 * timeless actually likes Win32 Sep 28 18:42:13 (Or the Mac OS X Disc Recording APIs). Sep 28 18:42:18 Now those are evil. Sep 28 18:42:31 there's also the hodgepodge that is OS6-9 Sep 28 18:42:40 "Contexts", "Dissenters" and other fun, undocumented things... Sep 28 18:42:41 or rather System 6..OS9 Sep 28 18:44:02 I was positively shocked when I saw WinRT C++ example code for the first time - but that soon turned to disappointment, after reading that they're only useful for developing Metro crapps. Sep 28 18:44:39 (I've also played with the recent Windows 8 preview, and was very disappointed). Sep 28 18:44:46 i actually like w8 Sep 28 18:44:51 although i've triggered a number of panics on it Sep 28 18:44:58 i'm also relatively impressed by their validator Sep 28 18:44:58 we truly are in a clueless and stupid period of computer science Sep 28 18:45:02 although, that too has crashed Sep 28 18:45:14 the answer is always "abstract more" Sep 28 18:45:19 not peel back and fix Sep 28 18:45:33 I immediately thought "Did they hire the designers of the Nintendo Wii UI?" and "Why would I want my laptop to work like a giant phone or games console?" Sep 28 18:46:06 vmlemon_: it's about getting the "other 40% who aren't constant computer users" Sep 28 18:46:16 vmlemon_: which..as it turns out... apparently, they're idiots. Sep 28 18:46:27 TSCHAKeee: Makes sense, in retrospective. Sep 28 18:46:54 basically, the answer always seems to have been Sep 28 18:46:58 "make bigger training wheels" Sep 28 18:47:19 Heh Sep 28 18:48:18 Even if it means that the power users and developers have to suffer the curse of interfaces inspired by Teletubby Land, and all kinds of arcane "features", erm restrictions. Sep 28 18:48:54 * vmlemon_ felt the same way about GNOME3, too. Sep 28 18:49:07 (I reckon that they'll eventually just turn it into a gigantic "Do Something" button). Sep 28 18:50:01 It will be labelled "Worship Us!" Sep 28 18:50:35 I suppose that works, too. Sep 28 18:50:56 I was always a fan of Engelbart's approach of trainable interfaces Sep 28 18:51:05 but, heh. I am in a very small minority Sep 28 18:51:12 Or "Praise", since "real" users are obviously incapable of reading more than a single word. Sep 28 18:51:13 * TSCHAKeee has actually _used_ Augment. Sep 28 18:51:46 Or it could just be neon green, and transform in colour when clicked. Sep 28 18:52:43 Bonus points if it pulsates; and plays sound effects when clicked, too. Sep 28 18:54:46 Double-clicking will obviously just shut the machine down, without prior warning... Sep 28 18:55:31 Everything will be ok Sep 28 18:56:02 Gnome3 people, as well as Unity people will end up with what they want - a glorified media center for idiots Sep 28 18:56:24 And the rest of us, using their computers for professional activities, will end up with Xfce, Linus style Sep 28 18:57:12 vmlemon_: would a Like button do Sep 28 18:57:34 I suppose so. Sep 28 18:58:06 I can't use xcfe, I can't ever remember which way around to put the f and c Sep 28 18:58:11 see? Sep 28 18:58:25 Maybe it should cause a synthesised Barbie-esque voice to say "I like you too!" ;) Sep 28 18:59:20 roses are red, violets are blue; math is ...er, wait Sep 28 19:00:53 EExcIntegerDivideByZero? Sep 28 19:01:12 Or "Segmentation Fault"? Sep 28 19:05:33 RST38h: And eventially patent enforcement on UI will get so prevalant that the only remaining possible UI is xfce. Sep 28 19:05:35 Everyone wins Sep 28 19:06:17 yeah Sep 28 19:06:36 Either that, or we revert to punch cards. Sep 28 19:07:09 ibm has a patent on those Sep 28 19:07:42 "To successfully dial your number, please connect test points J3 and J4 on your handset's motherboard, now" Sep 28 19:08:00 I hope they don't have one filed in the last 26 years. Sep 28 19:08:50 derf: easy to extend, if you know the right people in dc Sep 28 19:09:21 26 years is the number even IBM views as "safe". Sep 28 19:11:35 Just wait until your Microsoft Windows Phone 7 Series R2 SP1 phone crashes with the timeless BSOD... Sep 28 19:12:11 (There should probably also be a "Professional Edition" descriptor somewhere in there, too). Sep 28 19:12:48 SpeedEvil, you're forgeting fvwm ;) Sep 28 19:12:59 (And probably also "Nokia with")... Sep 28 19:14:31 ruskie: naah Sep 28 19:14:38 RST38h: xfce? awesome is the way to go Sep 28 19:14:38 CDE? Sep 28 19:17:00 ruskie: I had a patched version of fvwm95 as my main wm till maybe 2004 Sep 28 19:36:31 5/j #pkg-n900 Sep 28 19:36:37 :/ Sep 28 19:37:58 #pkg-n900 is on oftc Sicelo :-). Sep 28 19:38:45 thanks:D Sep 28 20:00:52 so meego got the same maemo treatment?! Sep 28 20:01:04 yeah Sep 28 20:01:14 it was just a matter of time Sep 28 20:01:44 a more reason for me to love my N900 more :-) Sep 28 20:01:56 well Sep 28 20:02:12 now it will have Maemo, MeeGo CE and Tizen, and Android :P Sep 28 20:02:18 Quad Boot :D Sep 28 20:02:38 the world will not abide an open system Sep 28 20:02:49 too many greedy fucks out there Sep 28 20:02:54 btw where did get this name from. and they were making fun of meego! Sep 28 20:03:14 well Tizen is Lebanese means 'Two asses' Sep 28 20:03:17 so there you go Sep 28 20:03:19 :P Sep 28 20:03:38 * smhar remembers the days of Neo and OpenMoko Sep 28 20:04:39 TSCHAKeee, I am afraid you are correct. very very sadly Sep 28 20:05:06 i've become very heartbroken over the last 30 some odd years Sep 28 20:05:18 watching amazing systems die Sep 28 20:05:29 being squashed by things just good enough to fool everyone Sep 28 20:05:41 * hiemanshu wasn't even alive back then Sep 28 20:06:03 watching Atari collapse was my first... Sep 28 20:06:08 then Amiga Sep 28 20:06:27 I am way too younger than you, but I've seen some very great systems die too, Delphi and the whole Borland.. Sep 28 20:06:27 then NeXT Sep 28 20:06:39 are they still alive somewhere? Sep 28 20:06:54 NeXT swallowed Apple (reverse merger) Sep 28 20:07:07 but now, Apple has become the antichrist Sep 28 20:07:34 OS2? Sep 28 20:07:42 heheheh, Sep 28 20:07:47 * TSCHAKeee knows OS/2's history all too well Sep 28 20:08:02 fantastic name. TITS(en) Sep 28 20:08:16 Microsoft's second OS, (or third actually, not many people remember that Microsoft's first OS was a licensed version of UNIX... XENIX) Sep 28 20:08:21 I was so exited when I installed it for the first time Sep 28 20:09:22 Microsoft partners with IBM..works on OS/2... creates OS/2 2.0 NT.... IBM and Microsoft suffer clash of egos, Microsoft and IBM each take the codebase at that point... IBM makes OS/2 2.0... Microsoft creates Windows NT... Sep 28 20:09:52 Palm and even better Visor Sep 28 20:10:20 petteri: developer mode means you can download app_as_stupid_as_bread from your PC and not *only* from OVI. This however doesn't change the fact that on HARM root must NOT write files to /home/user/* Sep 28 20:10:23 * TSCHAKeee was a Palm _and_ a Newton user. I moved to Palm after Apple jettisoned Newton during the great clean-up of 1998. Sep 28 20:10:24 for example Sep 28 20:10:50 which few people know what it actually stands for, most people think it stand for Windows Network :-) Sep 28 20:11:24 n-10, aka, the production chip number for the Intel i860. Sep 28 20:13:00 hmm so samsung caved in to m$ "royalties" as well Sep 28 20:15:28 DocScrutinizer: thanks for the info, I have to explore the system more when I get my n9 Sep 28 20:15:42 smhar: for some reason delphi and borland are still alive and keep getting on my nerves Sep 28 20:16:44 * ShadowJK is waiting for open mode before putting in order for N9 Sep 28 20:18:32 actually this 'root cant write to user home' is a prety good example how braindamaged the whole policy in fact is. As root may do a su -l user any time, and then write to user home whatever the malware wants to do Sep 28 20:18:45 ohh fun Sep 28 20:18:49 chem|st, does delphi get any updates?!! Sep 28 20:20:14 at the end of the day that restrition is just another brick on the road annoying devels while not adding an angstrom to user security Sep 28 20:23:08 instead of "mv .ssh/auth* ~user/.ssh/' I have to do brainjogging like 'cat .ssh/auth* | su -l user -c "cat >.ssh/authorized_keys' Sep 28 20:23:17 how's SHR these days... Sep 28 20:23:27 dunno Sep 28 20:23:41 ask in #openmoko-cdevel Sep 28 20:25:01 smhar: there is a 2011 version so I guess yes Sep 28 20:25:29 wow, did not expect to to live this long Sep 28 20:30:07 smhar: so old? ;-P Sep 28 20:31:10 DocScrutinizer, not really, but after MS took all major developers from Borland, I though that it will sink deep Sep 28 20:31:19 I don't expect to live 2080 Sep 28 20:31:49 DocScrutinizer, oh, and I meant Delphi living time, not mine :D Sep 28 20:32:23 I do wonder about mine sometimes though, being near death several times Sep 28 20:33:29 I wonder if I'll ever die or just migrate into the internets completely Sep 28 20:34:51 ooops, forgot I'm skynet Sep 28 20:35:00 depending on your OS, you might need to be formatted over and over again, every time with new life and personality, or you might live loong time Sep 28 20:36:12 sometimes the human factor subroutines just get too good Sep 28 20:37:30 remember DocScrutinizer you can not live with your kernel alone, you need GNU to live completely :D Sep 28 20:37:53 haha RMS Sep 28 20:38:29 I'm not alive according to your metrics Sep 28 20:40:30 * DocScrutinizer idly repositions one of the x-ray laser lead rods to target at logitech headquarters, as they dare to sell 90€ mice with switches not worth 3ct and breaking after just 5000 cycles Sep 28 20:41:51 you are wrong, you already contain lots of GNU , it is just not declared. Sep 28 20:42:45 teach me phenomenology! ;-) Sep 28 20:47:18 (you know where that ended when that bomb refused to go back into the bay...) Sep 28 20:48:31 listen my son, you were created in OOP, with a basic class that is encapsulated and hidden, it contains lots of GPL code, then using inheritance and sometimes strange morphing events you and your kind were created. Sep 28 20:49:45 someone please explain this to me: CodeGear Delphi For PHP 1.0 !!! Sep 28 20:50:12 Pascal environment for creating PHP applications?! Sep 28 20:51:47 :-) Sep 28 20:55:52 btw DocScrutinizer, about pwer usage in ad-hoc vs wifi with apn, thanks. got myself CNet CWA-854, and with max PSM, standby power usage is less than 25mA Sep 28 20:55:55 \0/ Sep 28 20:56:28 cool Sep 28 20:57:43 our mobile operator introduced 3/3.5G this week, and seems that power usage is way too much :P Sep 28 20:58:43 anyway, i use 2/2.5G all the time, as i need reliability over speed. Sep 28 21:13:48 According to my own observations, 2/2.5G sucks more battery power than 3/3.5G on N900 Sep 28 21:13:55 Maybe it depends on usage patterns Sep 28 21:18:12 i get standby draw of less than 20mA on 2G, but over 100 for 3G. will test further, as 3G is quite new for me :P Sep 28 21:19:45 oh Sep 28 21:20:05 what is this "Infrared touch screen" the new Kindle sports with? Sep 28 21:28:53 :P Sep 28 21:29:27 if u minimize xchat to tray on N900, how do u bring it back? Sep 28 21:31:23 heh, the news entry on tizen.org is written by DawnFoster Sep 28 21:31:27 great.. Sep 28 21:31:37 so she knew about it.. Sep 28 21:32:08 you know, i've never been mad at certain people within the context of a faceless organization Sep 28 21:32:28 welcome to the club! Sep 28 21:32:30 but i may make an exception this time..the more i find out about how all this transition has been handled Sep 28 21:32:35 it's ironic you mention this in #maemo Sep 28 21:32:51 the more I want to go over to the Linux Foundation, and club some heads Sep 28 21:33:02 you get used to it after one such transition Sep 28 21:33:19 the second one doesn't feel nearly as bad ;P Sep 28 21:33:20 javispedro: wanna start a betting pool to see when it happens agian? Sep 28 21:34:14 pfft, I'd win. Sep 28 21:34:49 somebuy buy a Kindle Touch and tell me if this new "IR Touchscreen" is precise enough to be used with a stylus Sep 28 21:35:11 most likely not Sep 28 21:35:22 everybody has gone all googoogaagaa over capactive displays Sep 28 21:35:33 which is why I'm surprised they _haven't_ Sep 28 21:36:00 if this works as I guess it works, it _will_ work with a stylus, albeit I don't know the resolution Sep 28 21:36:19 *nod* Sep 28 21:37:11 man, a move away from capacitive would make my day. Sep 28 21:37:19 javispredro: my issue really lately has been.. I want to get an N9...but I'm not sure i'll actually be able to get one.. I have an N950 here as a dev unit which I am using for LinuxMCE research work...and it makes me cry...because this IS overall the best unit that Nokia has made to date. Sep 28 21:37:56 they knocked it out of the park, from the user perspective Sep 28 21:37:57 TSCHAKeee: if you have the required ~$700 you'll get one if you wish so. Sep 28 21:38:26 javispedro: from my understanding there was a very small run of the units, less than 100,000, is this correct? Sep 28 21:38:32 no idea Sep 28 21:38:52 I will try to get one...regardless of whether I do or not... Sep 28 21:39:06 I am keeping my N950 and taking the cash hit. Sep 28 21:39:19 I don't know why are you assuming it will sell out even if they make only 10000 ;P Sep 28 21:39:43 (and no, it has nothing to do with the keyboard. I think the Harmattan vkb is wonderful, and it's all i use now) Sep 28 21:41:12 for me, this is symbolic of a swan song... I am glad, that Nokia was able to make not one, but five distinct production runs of some very compatively open hardware Sep 28 21:41:39 I'm glad Maemo got the chance to exist. Sep 28 21:41:59 good god, with all the other projects i've been aware of in this world, that's a miracle. Sep 28 21:43:39 but i keep these units, like I keep my Amiga 1000, and my NeXT cube...because for a moment, a group of people got together and made something that THEY wanted themselves, and brought it out to the rest of the world. Sep 28 21:46:32 about the 3g 2g discussion earlier, any ideas why the n900 might stop to allow 2g? Sep 28 21:46:46 when I set it to 2g in the phone settings it just jumps back to 3g Sep 28 21:51:13 never seen that before Sep 28 21:51:46 errr Sep 28 21:52:40 I wonder what it would do if a carrier somehow signals that there are no 2G services available Sep 28 21:53:14 probably user wouldn't expect a switch to 2G actually meant "go offline" Sep 28 21:53:57 so this behaviour makes sense in my book, under certain circumstances Sep 28 21:54:11 DocScrutinizer: problem is, my carrier does have 2g coverage here Sep 28 21:54:19 so that can't be the reason Sep 28 21:54:19 maybe not ATM Sep 28 21:54:41 my carrier refused any data services via 2G, some 2 days ago Sep 28 21:54:50 tried it several times over several months Sep 28 21:55:01 (probably the DHCP server been borked, on 2G) Sep 28 21:55:28 merlin1991: oh, so it never worked? Sep 28 21:55:35 it did about a year ago Sep 28 21:56:00 but I've been on 3g only for quite some time, then wanted to check batteryimpact, and ever since it doesn't work Sep 28 21:56:09 might be a carrier side bad config, signalling to the phone some crap that is plain false Sep 28 21:57:14 yeah, going to 2g does nothing, stays at 3g and if I go back to the menu the menu value is again at 3g Sep 28 21:57:17 merlin1991: you're using the ssytemmenu applet, or the settings control? Sep 28 21:57:34 system menu, not some applet Sep 28 21:57:47 that's an applet afaik Sep 28 21:58:01 try the genuine settings->phone Sep 28 21:58:06 I mean not some desktop switcher applet Sep 28 21:58:12 but the genuine settings -> phone Sep 28 21:59:15 merlin1991: kinda hard to remote-debug Sep 28 21:59:23 next time my sister is around I'll borrow her n900 and try it there Sep 28 21:59:27 what's in syslog? Sep 28 22:00:07 merlin1991: ooh, and: can you switch to "dual"? Sep 28 22:00:22 trying Sep 28 22:00:40 nope jumped back to 3g from dual too Sep 28 22:00:53 that's definitely a bug then Sep 28 22:01:51 I suspect you got some auto-switcher installed that promised to go back to 2G as soon as there's no data traffic. Not it locked somehow to 3G Sep 28 22:02:13 s/Not/Now/ Sep 28 22:02:15 DocScrutinizer meant: I suspect you got some auto-switcher installed that promised to go back to 2G as soon as there's no data traffic. Now it locked somehow to 3G Sep 28 22:02:22 nope no autoswitcher at all Sep 28 22:02:42 ummm Sep 28 22:02:47 sure? Sep 28 22:03:16 I've got tweego, quassel2go, sociality, jspeed, cutubeqml, maddeveloper, rdesktop, some vnc hen, mags mediaplayer and cssu Sep 28 22:03:19 but nothing else Sep 28 22:03:29 what's jspeed? Sep 28 22:03:52 gps thingy, just shows you your current speed in huge letters and keeps trip data like average speed, ... Sep 28 22:04:02 aaah Sep 28 22:04:03 k Sep 28 22:04:10 weird Sep 28 22:05:15 some AT 3GPP wizard might talk you through the appropriate pnatd AT+CFUN? etc commands to ask the modem about its notion regarding 2G/3G Sep 28 22:05:23 I'm not such a wizard Sep 28 22:06:08 reflash? Sep 28 22:06:28 (COMBINED only) Sep 28 22:07:08 with a proper backupmenu backup it should be painless to give it a try Sep 28 22:09:47 reflashed already some times since it first stopped working Sep 28 22:17:08 pretty strange, I'd try a final full reflash, COMBINED and VANILLA, not restore any backups, and try with a plain vanilla stock 1.3 system. If it still doesn't work, and your locale version of COMBINED image is correct (either the right one or the global one), then it's obviously a bug in your hw or SIM, as for my understanding setting DUAL mode should be both default and always possible to set Sep 28 22:19:03 you might test with another SIM for same carrier Sep 28 22:20:11 testing this SIM in another phone may not reveal much, as incompatibilities between a bug in SIM and a particular model of modem are quite possible Sep 28 22:21:08 less screwed: the bug in SIM, if any, may show only in N900 Sep 28 22:39:28 heh, amazon kindle fire - 199bucks Sep 28 22:41:18 if you could unlock it and get a proper OS running, it might be well an interesting purchase Sep 29 02:10:23 i want let opera access compute version facebook.not mobile version.how to do it,i change the user-agent.but can't Sep 29 02:21:55 took some minutes till I parsed that sentence Sep 29 02:58:54 whats the best tablet to get to install native maemo/meego on it? **** ENDING LOGGING AT Thu Sep 29 02:59:56 2011
