**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Sep 02 02:59:58 2013 Sep 02 03:56:58 hmmmff Sep 02 08:15:06 hmm, don't know if 'm the only one with this.. but Nokia Maps seems to now pick the longest possible routes :( Sep 02 08:15:44 it was perfect all along, finding shortest routes on the first go, even better than Google Maps Sep 02 08:17:38 but now, now, to travel from Johannesburg, South Africa to Mbabane, Swaziland, Maps tells me to go through Botswana! wtf Sep 02 09:03:56 but now, now, to travel from Johannesburg, South Africa to Mbabane, Swaziland, Maps tells me to go through Botswana! wtf Sep 02 09:04:08 aw.. sorry for repeat.. Sep 02 10:17:17 the extras assistant... why does it not ask me for the source file? Sep 02 10:17:29 it asks me for debian.tar.gz and dsc, after uploading the .changes file Sep 02 10:17:50 but it does not ask for the orig.tar.gz Sep 02 10:37:51 divVerent: it decides on what to ask for based on your .dsc Sep 02 10:38:36 freemangordon: the .dsc mentions the .orig.tar.gz Sep 02 10:38:38 dput did it right Sep 02 10:39:03 divVerent: sorry, based on .changes, but lemme check once again, just to be sure Sep 02 10:39:09 .changes lists it too Sep 02 10:39:18 and yes, probably based on .changes, as that is uploaded first Sep 02 10:39:42 divVerent: maybe .orig.tar.gz is already there? Sep 02 10:39:55 hm... I would wonder why Sep 02 10:40:01 given the package got released only days ago Sep 02 10:40:09 and Maemo didn't have it at all before Sep 02 10:40:20 divVerent: which package is that? Sep 02 10:40:26 clex Sep 02 10:40:46 or rather, may I look at .changes/.dsc? Sep 02 10:41:04 can you still see them on the build server? Sep 02 10:41:08 if not, I can upload separately Sep 02 10:41:26 hmm, "Build succeeded" Sep 02 10:41:41 yes Sep 02 10:41:43 I used dput Sep 02 10:41:51 after the web interface looked like it would fail when I would do it Sep 02 10:41:58 due to not asking me for the orig file Sep 02 10:43:21 strange Sep 02 10:45:53 another thing... is there a way to send Alt-F8 in the terminal? Sep 02 10:45:57 or ESC F8 Sep 02 10:46:00 esc esc 8 doesn't do Sep 02 10:47:23 ESC ESC [ 19 ~ seems to be the sequence Sep 02 10:47:58 hehe, typing that whole monster works ;) but is barely practicable Sep 02 11:10:53 of course, not REALLY needed, I can change clex's config to not need that :P Sep 02 11:23:41 freemangordon: yes! after a few modifications, i have successfully packaged FANN library with dpkg-buildpackage, now, there are two files: the .deb package,a and .tar.gz one, to the extras-devel i must upload the .tar.gz? Sep 02 11:23:51 hm, are there any things I have to think of, ordering a new usb-charger for the N900? Sep 02 11:25:16 also there is an .dsc and .changes file, where to put them? Sep 02 11:40:00 Yo. Sep 02 11:40:11 neo900 Sep 02 11:40:17 Very exciting! Sep 02 11:40:42 DocScrutinizer51: good afternoon. Sep 02 11:40:51 DocScrutinizer51: Is there an N900 BOM? Sep 02 11:44:04 Or indeed any note of the footprint of the white camera LEDs? Sep 02 11:46:16 Or possibly what the forward voltage of those LEDs are or perhaps the current supplied when thy flash? Sep 02 12:21:48 http://www.staff.amu.edu.pl/~kalmar/blog/?p=247 << do we have this? Sep 02 12:22:37 or better yet some "hold modifier to right-click" configuration Sep 02 12:24:37 there's supposedly some "mouseemu" script that's supposed to be able to do that, but it's website is down Sep 02 12:59:37 ccxCZ: Yes there is hold to right click. Sep 02 13:01:07 is that on by default? can I change the delay? Sep 02 13:01:19 ccxCZ: read the second half of this wiki entry: Sep 02 13:01:20  Sep 02 13:01:26 http://wiki.maemo.org/Remapping_keyboard/user_vis_awesome_kbdmapping Sep 02 13:01:51 The above is keyboard modifier. Sep 02 13:02:03 I did not read your question close enough. Sep 02 13:03:42 I'd be really grateful to have mod-click so I can play few mouse-driven games via dosbox. it has keyboard remapper by itself but can't do a thing about mouse apparently Sep 02 13:50:01 vi___: check the cam driver, it has comments about current Sep 02 13:52:06 I am rather sure current been 300mA, max 0.5seconds. voltage prolly 5..6Vmaybe 8 Sep 02 13:53:24 max continuous current 50mA iirc Sep 02 13:58:36 DocScrutinizer05: That sounds plausible. The 2 LEDs are in series. Sep 02 13:58:50 300mA for 500mS. Sep 02 13:59:02 That is plenty meat. Sep 02 13:59:22 FYI they are a 2.15*1.65mm footprint. Sep 02 14:00:29 ccxCZ: The article I linked talks about mapping a keyboard modifier to middle and right click. Sep 02 14:00:46 AFAIK some users use that method to play dosbox games. Sep 02 14:01:49 The 8v Vf sounds plausible that is. Sep 02 14:02:04 by 8, I of course meant 6. Sep 02 14:09:52 vi___: hi, long time no see Sep 02 14:16:04 vi___: maybe it been 200mA, and maybe 0.7s or 0.4s Sep 02 14:17:41 check cam driver source! Sep 02 14:19:21 or even the fine wiki Sep 02 14:21:17 http://wiki.maemo.org/N900_Hardware_Flash_Torch RTFM! Sep 02 14:21:49 >>It can flash brightly for a maximum of 0.5 s, with an LED current of no more than 320 mA, or be in torch mode for arbitrary duration, at a current of no more than 50 mA<< Sep 02 14:35:51 DocScrutinizer05: Ty doc Sep 02 14:35:58 freemangordon: hello FMG. Sep 02 14:36:07 Yeah, I got a new job. Sep 02 14:36:08 yw, but pretty please check wiki! :-D Sep 02 14:36:13 I am now mega busy. Sep 02 14:36:35 Not much time for messing with technology. Sep 02 14:36:38 vi___: thanks for support on Neo900 Sep 02 14:36:45 http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=91142 Sep 02 14:36:56 If it is as good as the idea seems, I am all in! Sep 02 14:37:21 I really think you should look into things like kickstarter etc. Sep 02 14:37:38 we could need every help we can get, for fremantle porting task force Sep 02 14:37:51 s/need/use/ Sep 02 14:37:53 DocScrutinizer05 meant: we could use every help we can get, for fremantle porting task force Sep 02 14:39:03 oops, irssi had a fit! Sep 02 14:39:16 huh? Sep 02 14:40:13 I am using irssi on a windos box. Sep 02 14:40:36 I accidentally pressed ctrl+z Sep 02 14:40:42 ooh, windows term. I'm not familiar with those ;-P Sep 02 14:40:46 The whole thing spazzed out. Sep 02 14:41:05 I assume ctrl+z is left over from th 'nix version. Sep 02 14:41:14 btw 8V Vf is more likely than 6V Sep 02 14:41:32 4V Vf for each LED? Sep 02 14:41:41 That seems quite high. Sep 02 14:41:49 yup, usual for blue end white LED of high power Sep 02 14:41:59 s/end/and/ Sep 02 14:41:59 DocScrutinizer05 meant: yup, usual for blue and white LED of high power Sep 02 14:42:10 oh. Sep 02 14:42:37 see nichia and osram 1W 3W 5W LEDs Sep 02 14:42:40 LED like the cree XML have a Vf of ~3.1V at 1.5A Sep 02 14:42:48 and cree of course Sep 02 14:43:16 check again, iirc that's not true for blue and white Sep 02 14:43:42 I will. Sep 02 14:43:43 well, they differ a lot between types Sep 02 14:44:00 obviously those are 1W LEDs in N900 Sep 02 14:44:31 Yes, just 4V is probably the highest I have seen. I could not find a part number for the N900 flash LEDs though. Sep 02 14:55:58 /disconnect/names Sep 02 14:56:02 fuuu Sep 02 15:05:58 I've seen 4.5V Vf on a crappy chinaled Sep 02 15:06:30 Cree has LEDs with Vf around 2.7V @ 350mA, iirc Sep 02 15:42:43 vi__: there probably is no part number / name of those LED available Sep 02 15:44:47 vi__: all I have is: Sep 02 15:44:49 Main PCB, Top User Interface Optical Semiconductor LED 2 Primary Camera Flash - High Intensity White 2 2.15 1.65 0.80 Sep 02 15:50:53 and this looks pretty much like a crippled original Nokia BOM that got leaked to those guys who did the RE Sep 02 15:53:41 http://www.electronicproducts.com/Nokia_N900_Mobile_Phone-whatsinside_text-90.aspx Sep 02 15:55:07 HTH Sep 02 15:55:19 it's best I could find Sep 02 15:59:25 ShadowJK: "Typical forward voltage @ 1.4 A (V), 85°C: 37.0" ;-P Sep 02 15:59:36 http://www.cree.com/LED-Components-and-Modules/Products/XLamp/Arrays-NonDirectional/XLamp-CXA3050 Sep 02 16:03:04 http://www.cree.com/~/media/Files/Cree/LED Components and Modules/HB/Data Sheets/CLM1CWKW(879) "TYPICAL ELECTRICAL & OPTICAL CHARACTERISTICS (TA = 25°C)" "Vf typ: 3.2V max:4.0V" Sep 02 16:07:38 http://www.cree.com/~/media/Files/Cree/LED Components and Modules/HB/Data Sheets/CLA1A(1075) typ:3.6V max:4.2V Sep 02 16:08:02 all no high power LEDs which tend to have even higher Vf usually, afaik Sep 02 16:11:10 generally 1W LEDs seem to average at 2.3V for red and orange, 3.5V for green blue and white Sep 02 16:15:36 http://www.media.highlight-led.de/products/documents/pdf/77900010.pdf Sep 02 16:21:44 very interesting: http://www.uskoreahotlink.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/1-Watt.pdf with a binning/rank of 4=3.3V Vf to 10=4.0V Vf Sep 02 16:27:33 goldkatze: *caress* Sep 02 16:30:15 also interesting (I didn't know of it yet): >> In particular, if a reverse voltage is continuously applied to the product, such operation can cause migration resulting in LED damage << Sep 02 16:31:08 * DocScrutinizer05 winks to all OC-fanboys who seem to think EM is a hoax Sep 02 16:33:46 lookup Cree XP-G and XR-E too Sep 02 16:38:03 cree.com seems to no longer provide info for those Sep 02 16:39:02 http://www.cree.com/~/media/Files/Cree/LED Components and Modules/XLamp/Data and Binning/XLampXPG.pdf Sep 02 16:39:49 Vf 3.25V Sep 02 16:40:01 typ Sep 02 16:42:39 anyway in the end who cares about Vf?

Sep 02 18:20:15 o.O Sep 02 18:20:49 allegedly KP52 got promoted to extras-devel, for all I know Sep 02 18:21:08 ~pkg Sep 02 18:21:08 pkg is probably http://maemo.org/packages/ Sep 02 18:22:10 it did Sep 02 18:22:24 there is a forums posting on it at least saying so Sep 02 18:22:54 http://maemo.org/packages/package_instance/view/fremantle_extras_free_armel/kernel-power-flasher/2.6.28-10power52/ Sep 02 18:23:27 http://maemo.org/packages/package_instance/view/fremantle_extras_free_armel/kernel-power/2.6.28-10power52/ Sep 02 18:23:29 http://www.tizenexperts.com/2013/04/announce-kernel-power-stable-v52-extras-devel/ Sep 02 18:23:49 tizenWUT?

Please ask Pali and freemangordon and merlin1991 to investigate what's wrong, and them fix it ASAP Sep 02 18:30:18 bennypr0fane: check your distribution. Also make sure you did refresh Sep 02 18:30:26 you're supposed to see KP52 in HAM, definitely Sep 02 18:31:06 it's definitely in extras Sep 02 18:31:55 yeah i am looking at it in the repo now, it is there. something wrong on his end. Sep 02 18:32:47 apt-cache policy Sep 02 18:33:16 freemangordon I'm on thumb 8.2 Sep 02 18:33:28 oooh, and could somebody fix apt-cache to show full repo URL pretty please!?

Sep 02 18:39:37 all of them Sep 02 18:39:53 fremantle-1.3 is actually fremantle, plain vamilla fremantle without fancy extensions Sep 02 18:40:10 * bennypr0fane is missing the tab button on n900 in xchat Sep 02 18:40:25 tab?

Sep 02 18:54:46 i can move the cursor in ham, but not deleting Sep 02 18:55:10 ... nope. Sep 02 18:55:15 the same error Sep 02 18:55:36 is is caused by browser? Sep 02 18:55:42 lexik: hmm, weird Sep 02 18:55:50 NFC, never seen such an error Sep 02 18:56:03 i can try chrome :/ Sep 02 18:56:52 ah, it works for devel and testing, but not maemo.org. can't delete that 1.3 from fremantle Sep 02 18:57:22 bennypr0fane: wait a bit Sep 02 18:59:20 you mean before Itry to delete 1.3? I waited for more than 5 mins. moving the cursor worled in that time Sep 02 18:59:33 *and also worked Sep 02 18:59:51 bennypr0fane: wait for me to fix the repo :D Sep 02 19:00:53 ok Sep 02 19:01:23 but devel and testing are already good? Sep 02 19:08:09 are there offline maps for america somewhere? i did a bit of searching and could only find europe and india Sep 02 19:30:16 * DocScrutinizer05 starting public technical discussion / hearing, about the fremantle-1.3 issue Sep 02 19:32:52 assumption: fremantle-1.3 repo been invented for whatever reasons during times of PR1.2, to be "safe for future" as a symlink to fremantle repo, and during migration#1/consolidation some funny guy "mirrored" the repo and converted the symlink to a separate unlinked repository dir during the process Sep 02 19:34:49 DocScrutinizer05: actually the real repos are different, but got synced from one and the same source. IIUC Sep 02 19:35:15 my first suggestion been to simply nuke the complete fremantle-1.3 repo, since it's redundant and cruft and serves no particular purpose. But I've been told that flashing gets you fremantle-1.3 repo instead of fremantle repo Sep 02 19:35:28 correct Sep 02 19:36:01 now while this is a brainfart done by somebody in nokia, if it's correct, we now have to deal with it Sep 02 19:37:07 DocScrutinizer05: again, IMO, simply symlinking 1.3 to fremantle on stage will solve that next time a package enters extras. And I will push autobuildertest in extras to make that happen Sep 02 19:37:38 we'll still have lots of wasted HD space, but at least stuff will work Sep 02 19:37:49 further implication: during (or after) consolidation some of the builder/repomanagement scripts obviously got messed up, so now we have dependencies to fremantle-1.3 even in those scripts Sep 02 19:38:57 where from does the wasted HD space come, wehn we effectively nuke freamntle-1.3 and replace it by a symlink? Sep 02 19:40:11 what I anticipate is a mega disaster by repo-management running over the same rapo two times Sep 02 19:40:16 repo even Sep 02 19:41:41 DocScrutinizer05: we'll do that on stage, but not on live Sep 02 19:41:50 what is live? Sep 02 19:42:16 "/var/repository/live", this is what you see when you open http://repository.maemo.org/extras/pool/fremantle-1.2/free/ for example Sep 02 19:42:32 so what is stage? Sep 02 19:42:58 and actually, who would want to open fremantle-1.2? Sep 02 19:43:14 could you come up with a better not so fringe case example please? Sep 02 19:43:19 autobuilder puts the packages in incoming, queue manager puts the on stage "/var/repository/stage" and rsync_to_live.sh copies stage to live Sep 02 19:43:28 *them Sep 02 19:43:48 why? Sep 02 19:44:02 NFCm but that is how it works Sep 02 19:44:33 we don't need to rsync from one dir to another dir on same physical and even logical machine, eh? Sep 02 19:44:42 I guess this is a legacy from the times there were lots of "live" servers Sep 02 19:44:58 possibly Sep 02 19:45:12 and those were different machines Sep 02 19:45:31 so first of all we need to nuke that cruft Sep 02 19:45:39 I guess we don;t need to rsync, but that would mean a major rewrite IMO Sep 02 19:45:50 if it's actually nothing else but just an rsync Sep 02 19:46:17 And I'd rather have it working as it is supposed to work before I "fix" it :) Sep 02 19:46:37 rewrite? I think we can simply retire the whole process step Sep 02 19:47:04 maybe Sep 02 19:47:50 or no, I am not sure what will happen while packages.gz etc are being rebuilt Sep 02 19:48:34 ok, actually irrelevant. Why do we keep fremantle-1.3 on live? Sep 02 19:48:38 DocScrutinizer05: but see, the first to do is to fix that 1.3 crap Sep 02 19:49:03 fremantle-1.3 has to go, for good Sep 02 19:49:36 because of the reflash. but ask gregoa or someone who knows repos better than me what will happen if you have the same packages.gz for different distributions Sep 02 19:49:59 then after we eradicated it, we will eventually create a convenience-symlink for those poor users who got fremantle-1.3 in their list of catalogs Sep 02 19:50:00 I have NFC if distribution is included in .gz file Sep 02 19:50:57 see: [2013-09-02 21:32:52] assumption: fremantle-1.3 repo been invented for whatever reasons during times of PR1.2, to be "safe for future" as a symlink to fremantle repo, and during migration#1/consolidation some funny guy "mirrored" the repo and converted the symlink to a separate unlinked repository dir during the process Sep 02 19:51:35 DocScrutinizer05: there are 2 "repos", one is "stage" the other is "live" Sep 02 19:51:49 ^^^ happened on "stage" iiuc Sep 02 19:51:52 verify that assumption, then act accordingly. When it got introduced during consolidation, we can as well nuke it now Sep 02 19:52:38 the only way to verify it is to mv fremantle-1.3 from stage and to symlink fremantle-1.3->fremantle. But won;t do it now, I run out of time Sep 02 19:53:03 or, in other words: if it been a symlink before consolidation then there can't be any problems in making it a symlink again, now Sep 02 19:53:12 DocScrutinizer05: sure Sep 02 19:53:39 actually there are problems now it is not a symlink :) Sep 02 19:53:47 I dunno how it works here, but in SHR we're rsyncing from staging dir to "production" exactly for that reason with rebuilding package lists Sep 02 19:53:59 dos1: :nod: Sep 02 19:54:04 my point exactly Sep 02 19:54:07 and if something breaks during builds, repo is left intact and safe Sep 02 19:54:18 fair point Sep 02 19:55:03 but a rsync would keep symlinks as symlinks, no? Sep 02 19:55:23 DocScrutinizer05: so please, discuss with someone who knows how repos work, to explain if it is possible to have different distributions using one and the same packages.gz file Sep 02 19:55:53 it would, but AFAIR only if you use it with proper options Sep 02 19:56:00 DocScrutinizer05: I guess no, maybe it depends on how is rsync called. and maybe it was hardlink, not symlink Sep 02 19:56:23 sorry, I'm afk now for some RL urgent stuff. I think somebody else has to pick up on where I leave here and now Sep 02 19:56:27 guys, gtg, night, will continue tomorrow Sep 02 19:56:32 :) Sep 02 19:57:05 I can't take care of every single BS char in any single script Sep 02 19:57:30 there are guys much more experiencend than I am, with repositories Sep 02 19:58:12 I don't see the benefit and I don't see any free schedule in my calendar, to manage fremantle-1.3 sanitizing Sep 02 19:58:53 ther are ~45 guys around here who are better qualified to sort this issue Sep 02 19:59:30 if it doesn't get sorted soon, I eventually will simply nuke fremantle-1.3 and wait for the impact Sep 02 20:02:25 meanwhile you could start with checking what in Packages.gz and signature of a repo might be hardlinked to the repo's name (fremantle vs fremantle-1.3) Sep 02 20:03:38 hi DocScrutinizer05... does my repo comparison sorted something? Sep 02 20:04:42 I didn't use it for anything yet, but I hope others will do, soon. Sep 02 20:05:10 you're free to post the link to those files here Sep 02 20:05:24 so everybody willing to help can access them Sep 02 20:05:49 please keep this running without me pushing and coordinating it Sep 02 20:05:56 I cannot do this Sep 02 20:07:05 it would require too much learning about repository management that i'm not an expert, and I have no time to do this, my plate is already filled. Sep 02 20:08:49 so, it's up to the community now to investigate and fix this issue, before in maybe 2 weeks we are forced to simply nuke fremantle-1.3 and nothing been done to mitigate the fallout Sep 02 20:10:37 if you can dig up any historical info why and when fremantle-1.3 got invented, by whom, and based on which rationale, etc. - please by all means speak up here Sep 02 20:26:04 freemangordon: have you seen my repo comparison? Sep 02 20:30:57 xes: no. don't have time now, GF needs my attention :) Sep 02 20:30:57 goldkatze: wb Sep 02 20:31:25 freemangkrdon: NMI ...not masquerable interrupt :) Sep 02 20:36:28 Apic: YOLD 3149? ddate? Sep 02 20:40:56 jr@saturn:~> ddate Sep 02 20:40:57 Today is Setting Orange, the 26th day of Bureaucracy in the YOLD 3179 Sep 02 20:47:59 DocScrutinizer05: just googled neo900. We've already got few mentions in Slashdot comments under Elop-as-possible-MS-CEO article and some comments/posts in russian, czech and french forums; facebook post from italian fanpage of N900 owners, few tweets etc. Sep 02 20:49:03 "for this price I can get shiny quad-core phone" theme appeares quite often, but it was easy to predict; there are also some enthusiastic voices (at least that they seem to be enthisiastic via google translate :D) Sep 02 20:49:54 hehe Sep 02 20:50:05 there are some fears coming from ex-Freerunner owners who weren't happy with it Sep 02 20:50:42 at this price you can even get a hooker for 4 weeks to 2 years, in some countries Sep 02 20:50:42 or s/owners/users/ Sep 02 20:51:09 or find somebody to shoot you down Sep 02 20:51:55 I think Neo900 better compared to a hooker than to a quad-core phone Sep 02 20:52:01 ;-) Sep 02 20:52:29 since it neither is a phone, nor has it quad or dual cores Sep 02 20:53:01 let's build better neo900... with hookers! and blackjack! Sep 02 20:53:48 on the other hand, it has a keyboard that can slide in and out, it's only so slightly resistive to touch, and its back is magnetic Sep 02 20:53:51 sounds like hookers to me Sep 02 20:54:50 so for 700EUR you also get: a very nice x86 PC; a full week of booze from morning till whatever time you fail to open your eyes; a gun; a 20kg bag full of really exciting surplus electronics; a case for your iPhone;... meh, gets boring Sep 02 20:56:57 and mips? Sep 02 20:57:05 on a sidenote, today we first time see >10% of voters for >=700 Sep 02 20:57:11 I like paprika mips Sep 02 20:57:59 and we got a rate of ~10% / week for 700-sweetspot Sep 02 20:59:09 looks pretty optimistic too me Sep 02 20:59:57 gathering 200 orders for 700+ will still take some time, but it seems to be doable from those results Sep 02 21:00:09 ack Sep 02 21:01:15 and there were few posts mentioning wish for changing their votes to higher ones Sep 02 21:01:49 obviously next step is: somebody needs to do a rough port of fremantle to a GTA04 and show off some basic icon juggling and a xterm Sep 02 21:02:26 and /me, who failed to notice "complete device" in poll question and voted for what he'd pay at most, even if only for board Sep 02 21:02:43 haha Sep 02 21:03:43 I wonder if more votes could be higher for the same reason Sep 02 21:04:17 some may go higher, some others may go down, after initial excitement Sep 02 21:04:29 yeah Sep 02 21:04:35 I don't give too much about this poll Sep 02 21:05:14 it served it's pupose to attract interest Sep 02 21:05:32 let's hope those who will go down are 1000 EUR and will drop to 700 :D Sep 02 21:05:33 users are eager to vote on polls Sep 02 21:06:09 I see this more like a statistic Sep 02 21:07:03 thus, the >10% are way more exciting to me than the 250 votes total or the 25 votes for >=700 Sep 02 21:07:55 right, I was expecting even higher percentage on the left side that it is now Sep 02 21:08:10 I'm still 'initialy excited', the $500 is MINIMUM which i'm ABLE to pay, when i will see working prototype (with camera (!)) and with some +features i can make some +many and pay 700+... but now, it is just 'poll-about-nothing' Sep 02 21:08:13 and we had this ~10% figure from very beginning, and I notice it's increasing slightly, which tells me I suceed in explaining what this device will be and how much it has to cost Sep 02 21:09:16 i will pay $200 but only if it's got a back glass that GLITTERS Sep 02 21:10:59 when we will have a working prototype, is a fracking good idea to make an kickstarter project where can users offer Neo for better price (that's problem i know..) Sep 02 21:11:33 I'll pay 1337 EUR if it's got ponies everywhere on it! Sep 02 21:12:31 bronies must die Sep 02 21:12:33 we're still sorting out basic feasibility of whole project (Nikolaus still waiting for a N900 to disassemble and investigate), after that's done we will come up with a sort of cowdfunding for the prototypes Sep 02 21:12:39 lexik: some crowdfunding may be needed for producing prototypes, as those are the costliest beasts Sep 02 21:13:33 first guess is ~10k for prototypes Sep 02 21:13:42 hi Sep 02 21:13:54 crowdfunding is the only option ;) Sep 02 21:14:19 or some billionaire TMO user Sep 02 21:14:27 I've been frustrated over some odd bug where xchat will disconnect immediately when reading scrollback containing something evil Sep 02 21:14:47 ooh, again this shit? Sep 02 21:15:03 I thought that got fixed Sep 02 21:15:09 After some experimenting, I found the bad line -- however I'm not sure if submitting it to a bugtracker would be a good idea due to potential abuse Sep 02 21:15:27 it's basically known Sep 02 21:15:33 ok Sep 02 21:15:50 hm Sep 02 21:15:55 we had similar attack some 1 or two years ago Sep 02 21:16:03 wonder where I can submit a report about it then Sep 02 21:16:31 http://maemo.cloud-7.de/clean-N900xchat-scrollback-from-rogue-string.sh Sep 02 21:18:03 # have this rogue string, assuming xchat stopped logging to the file on receiving the string. Sep 02 21:18:21 this is not fully correct, xchat kept running just fine and logged etc Sep 02 21:18:21 hi DocScrutinizer05 Sep 02 21:18:29 only on connect did the issue arise Sep 02 21:18:50 DocScrutinizer05: seems we're close to get shentey into full maintainer role for marble Sep 02 21:19:07 also it seems to search for something vastly different Sep 02 21:19:12 DocScrutinizer05: one last thing i'd like to do is to make him an admin of the marble package so he can promote packages to -testing Sep 02 21:19:40 DocScrutinizer05: either i miss the correct page to manage that or i can't change that on my own? Sep 02 21:19:46 sec Sep 02 21:21:05 FIQ: I didn't say it's a 100% remake of that other attack, I just sayd the hoax is known, based on bugs in utf-8 handling Sep 02 21:21:59 Earthwings: you *should* be able to change other users' permissions in your project Sep 02 21:22:03 on garage Sep 02 21:22:14 DocScrutinizer05: shentey is marked as an admin there already Sep 02 21:22:48 ok Sep 02 21:22:50 hmm, then this is another bug in sync-users-groups.php script Sep 02 21:23:23 the script is known to only propagate new users and new projects, but not correctly forwards changes Sep 02 21:23:34 DocScrutinizer05: although i didn't change that setting in years Sep 02 21:24:00 DocScrutinizer05: shall i remove and re-add him? or may that hurt? Sep 02 21:24:24 ask merlin1991 or freemangordon to fix shentey's permissions on drop and whatever needed Sep 02 21:25:03 errr. I think it won't help since the friggin script also doesn't remove users Sep 02 21:25:08 no lumia 1020 for tmobile . blah heh Sep 02 21:25:11 damn you at&t! Sep 02 21:25:29 lemme check sth Sep 02 21:25:35 project name is marble? Sep 02 21:25:50 DocScrutinizer05: right Sep 02 21:26:37 Added User shentey 2012-11-02 12:10 Sep 02 21:26:47 so still somehow recent ;-) Sep 02 21:36:45 sorry, no dice in midgard either. Try to request maintainership for the project Sep 02 21:38:04 http://maemo.org/packages/view/marble/ "Request to be maintainer of this package" ( http://maemo.org/packages/maintainer/request/marble/ ) Sep 02 21:39:51 DocScrutinizer05: requested Sep 02 21:40:26 approved Sep 02 21:42:00 wow, this terribly messed up the package interface page http://maemo.org/packages/view/marble/ Sep 02 21:42:18 but it had some effect at least Sep 02 21:43:35 DocScrutinizer05: thx a lot! Sep 02 21:43:37 shentey: please check http://maemo.org/packages/view/marble/ Sep 02 21:44:33 I still don't see the promote links Sep 02 21:45:08 thismight take some time to propagate to wherever it's queried anyway Sep 02 21:45:54 check again tomorrow, if it still doesn't work, please pester freemangordon about "promotion not working (only for some maintainers)" Sep 02 21:46:13 I'm listed as maintainer already, though Sep 02 21:46:20 yep Sep 02 21:46:52 this are like 6 VM that need occasional sync Sep 02 21:47:11 done by cronjobs and scripts Sep 02 21:48:14 might even need a new repo build until you're in the list of maintainers for the package to promote, I dunno, really Sep 02 21:48:24 sorry, afk Sep 02 21:49:10 alright, I'll be waiting until the schizophrenia settles ;) Sep 02 21:49:20 :-) Sep 02 21:49:27 sorry for the inconvenience Sep 02 21:49:42 DocScrutinizer05: np, thx for helping me out Sep 02 21:52:02 ooh shentey, Earthwings: what's about monav in extras-devel? should it get fixed, or nuked, or renamed? Sep 02 21:53:15 or might you maybe review your package dependencies in marble? Sep 02 21:53:16 DocScrutinizer05: good question... Earthwings said it wouldn't work with Marble Sep 02 21:53:17 DocScrutinizer05: would love to have it nuked. not sure if anyone might use it though. Sep 02 21:53:45 who maintains it? Sep 02 21:54:01 the file format has changed. monav 0.3 files are incompatible with it Sep 02 21:54:20 couldn'tyou DEPEND on a working revision of monav? Sep 02 21:54:49 DocScrutinizer05: does the package manager handle that? Sep 02 21:54:59 yep, afaik it does Sep 02 21:55:53 check mp-fremantle-pr, full of dependencies to specific versions Sep 02 21:56:23 actually that#s the only purpose of this friggin MP Sep 02 21:56:42 shentey: can you check whether that works? changing the monav dependency in the control file Sep 02 21:57:32 maybe you got no dependency on monav at all? Sep 02 21:57:41 anyway, I'm out Sep 02 21:57:48 OO Sep 02 21:58:46 DocScrutinizer05: ah, right, it's truly optional. iirc i tried with conflicts entries, but the package manager did bring up error messages then (or uninstall packages) Sep 02 21:59:26 yeah, I can try that Sep 02 22:00:09 bot not tonight any more... Sep 02 22:07:01 dos1: a huge amount of voters will be willing to shell out another 100 or 200 once there's actually something to show off Sep 02 22:08:40 dos1: ideally, a fremantle on GTA04 with above mentioned ison tossing and xterm, *plus a compass app* Sep 02 22:09:13 to demonstrate you can make use of the new features under good'ole fremantle Sep 02 22:10:22 port friggin SHR dialer or whatever to show GSM working as well ("we will see how much effort it cost us to push maemo dialer to work") Sep 02 22:10:53 should be feasible in a person-week of work Sep 02 22:11:24 after all they ported fremantle to other platforms already Sep 02 22:11:54 (sure also without any of the nokia blobs) Sep 02 22:14:33 DocScrutinizer05: which platforms? Sep 02 22:15:26 shentey: see Sep 02 22:15:27 http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=91142 Sep 02 22:17:25 DocScrutinizer05: I agree with you. I'd like to help, but I don't have GTA04, and well, I don't think I want to start porting Fremantle to GTA02 :P Sep 02 22:18:33 shentey: or did you mean this one http://www.omappedia.com/wiki/Maemo_Getting_Started Sep 02 22:23:04 it's been ported to the BeagleBoard... interesting Sep 02 22:38:07 oh id love to see the neo900 thing happen Sep 02 22:38:12 but with > 512mb ram Sep 02 22:42:44 Hardware keyboard or the lack of it, is a deal-breaker for me Sep 02 22:48:08 both topics already answered in Sep 02 22:48:10 http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=91142 Sep 02 22:49:18 n900 case *has* a kbd, and >512MB isn't feasible on DM3730 it seems, but we will try to find a really good alternative Sep 02 22:57:54 finally! Sep 02 22:58:14 looks like i finally memorized ln syntax correctly! Sep 02 22:58:39 ln works like cp just it doesnt copy but links Sep 02 22:58:43 when I tried to make some symlink, I was *always* getting arguments in the wrong way :D Sep 02 22:59:57 yeah, now it seems easy... :D Sep 02 23:01:52 I sometimes get weird results on ln, particularly when trying to link a dir Sep 02 23:02:09 hm Sep 02 23:02:15 can't seem to find out where you change the search engine for pale moon Sep 02 23:02:39 DocScrutinizer05: if you mix up the order, then you'll make symlink inside the folder you wanted to link to Sep 02 23:04:01 and that always happened to me... and each time I thought "now i'll do it the other way than usual", but did the same anyway Sep 02 23:04:31 dunno why; now it was the first time i noticed that i did it correctly few times in row :D Sep 02 23:07:28 has anyone ever played with an x86 smartphone? I wonder how bad they are in terms of battery life, features, etc. (ignore the OS :) Sep 02 23:33:12 I think x86 smartphones are vaporware, or a big hoax Sep 02 23:33:41 I son't even know of x86 tablets to be honest Sep 02 23:33:47 don't* Sep 02 23:37:13 maybe he means ultrabooks? Sep 02 23:37:33 but yeah x86 usually needs more power Sep 02 23:59:21 Doc: New Galaxy Tab is supposed to be x86 based Sep 02 23:59:37 Doc: At least this is what leaked specs are saying Sep 03 00:00:12 no, there are x86 smartphones out there... not in the US or Europe however... Sep 03 00:01:05 * RST38h has fondled an x86 smartphone Sep 03 00:01:24 Nothing to write home about, really, at least not that initial device Sep 03 00:01:36 probably not Sep 03 00:02:00 that it sucks battery power like mad is still something that would be interesting to know however... Sep 03 00:02:20 yes and no Sep 03 00:02:38 I just don't know how x86 will get ram on chip... Sep 03 00:03:00 why does it need to contain ram on chip? Sep 03 00:03:09 reduce costs? Sep 03 00:03:13 sorry? Sep 03 00:04:27 in a standard PoP, RAM is combined with Flash, not with the CPU Sep 03 00:04:53 Most "serious" ARM chips do not contain RAM in the same package Sep 03 00:14:15 heyheyhey! anyone knows how to have better controll over screen brightness on n900? Sep 03 00:14:39 i'd like to set it to the most dim possible, dont know if there's a way Sep 03 00:31:38 rid should stay a lil longer to listen to the extremely wise and insightful answers he might have gotten Sep 03 00:38:21 it is about /usr/lib/hal/scripts/hal-functions and /usr/lib/hal/scripts/hal-system-lcd-set-brightness, about /usr/lib/mce/modules/libfilter-brightness-*.so, and about /sys/class/backlight/acx565akm/*brightness Sep 03 00:39:22 oh by the way i didn't read anything before I left (ran out of battery) Sep 03 00:39:33 before i joined again* Sep 03 01:52:38 motorola has a x86 phone Sep 03 01:52:56 There are tons of x86 tablets, mostly running windows 8. Sep 03 01:55:11 and most of those x86 tablets are running powervr graphics *gag* Sep 03 02:35:26 I didn't say "there are no x86 tablets", I said "I don't know of any..." Sep 03 02:36:17 And I know there even been a few (dozen?) x86 phones even years ago. Epic fail. Never heard of them again, so: a big hoax. Sep 03 02:38:16 all i recently hear is "tablets go ARM. Win8 goes ARM" Sep 03 02:39:41 not that i'd care much to stay up to date. I'm not really interested in tablets. And for sure I'm not interested in x86 phones for another few years at least Sep 03 02:40:08 Win8 on ARM became a massive flop Sep 03 02:40:31 oooh? good! ;-P Sep 03 02:40:35 (so naturally Elop is going to do Win8-Arm tablet) Sep 03 02:41:17 not that I'd think win8 had any chances to _not_ become a flop on anything, under any circumstances whatsoever Sep 03 02:42:47 iirc, microsoft manufactured w8-arm tablets worth 4 BILLION dollars, and managed to sell a fifth of them after discounting to half the BOM cost. Sep 03 02:43:07 Industry is still on winXP, since everything since been useless for professional use, even at industry level (I consider industry requirements rather undemanding here) Sep 03 02:43:32 they are massively pondering how to migrate to FOSS now Sep 03 02:44:54 municipality often all the same Sep 03 02:45:48 * ShadowJK is at work now overseeing one of the fancier pieces of equipment Sep 03 02:45:53 it runs WinCE Sep 03 02:47:35 Windows 8's metro is worse than MS Bob Sep 03 02:47:52 Atleast Bob had a exit button to switch it off Sep 03 02:49:13 who's Bob? zje friggin paperclip?
