**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed Jan 26 02:59:57 2011 **** ENDING LOGGING AT Wed Jan 26 04:23:39 2011 **** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed Jan 26 06:04:15 2011 Jan 26 06:21:11 Does anyone know how to get egl 2.0 on meego emulator? Jan 26 06:21:35 chris_: supposedly they're pushing a swrast based solution Jan 26 06:22:13 what do u mean by swrast based? Jan 26 06:22:45 as in software rendering, for the qemu stuff, just entered trunk:testing yesterday Jan 26 06:23:39 so what am I supposed to install to use EGL 2.0 functions? Jan 26 06:23:40 Stskeeps, do you know if input is fixed in latest image? Jan 26 06:23:43 hi btw :P Jan 26 06:24:52 chris_: well, i would wait a little bit for that - what version of sdk are you using? Jan 26 06:24:58 araujo: i just woke up ~10 minutes ago Jan 26 06:25:03 hehe Jan 26 06:25:06 1.1 Jan 26 06:25:18 * araujo just thought Stskeeps kept hacking even while sleeping Jan 26 06:25:30 chris_: ok, so, egl -might- work with your graphics driver but there's a possibility it doesn't Jan 26 06:26:08 could u tell me more specifically about that possiblity? Jan 26 06:26:44 chris_: so, basically, in 1.2 we switched qt to target egl/gles and it turns out many things dont work with that :) Jan 26 06:26:54 so working with egl/gles might need a real device for 1.1 development Jan 26 06:27:09 until 1.2 sdks start coming out Jan 26 06:27:19 hmm,, Jan 26 06:27:46 I keep getting this compile error Jan 26 06:27:59 what am I supposed to do if I wanna test this on ARM device? Jan 26 06:28:23 chris_: what compile error? Jan 26 06:28:29 I get lots of "not declared" messages Jan 26 06:28:43 I dont know which library I should include Jan 26 06:28:59 libEGL and libGLESv2 Jan 26 06:32:02 thanks Jan 26 06:32:17 I just installed those two packages in MADDE Jan 26 06:32:44 how do I use those two libs though? Jan 26 06:33:15 it doesnt seem like they are installed under QtOpenGL Jan 26 06:34:12 the ARM target has those, qtopengl is built towards egl/gles Jan 26 06:34:22 in 1.2, both x86 and ARM has egl/gles as default Jan 26 06:34:29 oh I see Jan 26 06:42:36 hey Jan 26 06:42:42 I have one last question Jan 26 06:42:54 I just run my app on real device Jan 26 06:43:08 but I got an error "DRI2: failed to authenticate" Jan 26 06:43:14 any idea on this msg? Jan 26 06:43:38 what target device? n900? Jan 26 06:43:55 no nexus one Jan 26 06:44:09 ah, that doesn't have EGL/GLES support :) Jan 26 06:44:23 the port for that one isn't that far Jan 26 06:44:38 the people porting it just enabled software rendering for the UI parts using qt Jan 26 06:44:51 is n900 the only one supporting EGL/GLES? Jan 26 06:45:10 and beagleboards - it depends on if you have a gles implementation from your hardware vendor Jan 26 06:45:59 which is a requirement for meego products Jan 26 09:22:34 raster, Hey there! Jan 26 09:31:51 dneary: oi :) Jan 26 09:33:01 How are things in Seoul? Jan 26 09:33:15 Or are you in Brisbane this week? Jan 26 09:34:10 oh no Jan 26 09:34:11 in seoul Jan 26 09:34:19 havent moved my bum anywhere Jan 26 09:34:25 still cold Jan 26 09:34:26 Not at LCA then? Jan 26 09:34:39 The sons loved the presents Jan 26 09:35:03 Thomas was surprisingly enthusiastic about the watch, and Sean still wears his Mickey Mouse gloves Jan 26 09:35:20 And Paul liked his present, but I honestly don't recall what it was Jan 26 09:35:37 And one of Anne's earrings has fallen apart already :) Jan 26 09:37:26 Thanks for taking me shopping :) Jan 26 09:38:47 dneary: excellent! Jan 26 09:38:47 :) Jan 26 09:39:05 dneary: so you're happy at home now? Jan 26 09:43:10 :) Jan 26 09:43:22 Did I give the impression of being unhappy? Jan 26 09:44:50 oh no no Jan 26 09:44:56 i didnt mean that Jan 26 09:45:04 hehe Jan 26 09:45:13 Did I make you feel uncomfortable? Jan 26 09:45:15 :) Jan 26 09:45:24 most people are happy to return home and see their family and what not again Jan 26 09:45:27 after travel Jan 26 09:45:31 :-P~ Jan 26 09:45:40 So - have you stopped beating your wife yet? Jan 26 09:45:44 * thiago_home is quite happy for being home Jan 26 09:45:45 nice recovery raster Jan 26 09:45:50 Not to put you on the spot or anything Jan 26 09:45:53 hahaha Jan 26 09:46:02 no Jan 26 09:46:10 Actually, we can't sit still here. Just bought a house & sold appartment Jan 26 09:46:15 have to go give her a smack-down Jan 26 09:46:19 just feelin' in the mood Jan 26 09:46:22 :) Jan 26 09:46:30 oooh Jan 26 09:46:31 new house Jan 26 09:46:37 moving today? Jan 26 09:46:42 Yeah - lots of work needed on it too Jan 26 09:46:52 So that's the next 2-3 years taken care of Jan 26 09:46:57 Not today, no Jan 26 09:47:05 when are u moving? Jan 26 09:47:06 Need to convince a bank to lend us some money first Jan 26 09:47:31 wait Jan 26 09:47:37 how did you buy the house then? Jan 26 09:47:37 :) Jan 26 09:48:07 raster, Well, we've currently agreed to buy the house, conditional on getting a home loan Jan 26 09:48:13 aaaaah Jan 26 09:48:14 ok Jan 26 09:48:15 And we've agreed to see the appartment Jan 26 09:48:17 so not finalised yet Jan 26 09:48:18 :) Jan 26 09:48:33 No - takes ~2.5 months in France when there's a bank loan involved Jan 26 09:49:19 wow Jan 26 09:49:31 how long will it take for the bank to give u an answer?> Jan 26 09:51:28 raster, So: 1. You sign an agreement to purchase, then you have 7 days to retract. You have a month from that date to find a bank & put in a loan application, then the bank has a month from that date to agree to or reject your application, then there's a couple of weeks to make the funds available Jan 26 09:51:44 I started numbering, then forgot to do it for 2, 3 and 4 :) Jan 26 09:52:48 But in short, by the time you put in an official loan application, your banker has told you whether the loan will be given or not Jan 26 09:53:34 The rest is just procedural (example: home loans are compulsorally insured in France, and the insurance companies will require a health exam) Jan 26 09:57:53 wow Jan 26 09:57:56 thats slow Jan 26 09:57:57 :) Jan 26 09:59:30 meh Jan 26 09:59:34 easier to pay cash Jan 26 10:00:15 You get an in principle agreement quickly, but the notaries include big buffers to allow the banks to be slow if there are any complications Jan 26 10:00:40 The health check can be (metaphysically) painful, for example Jan 26 10:02:11 For example, if you have recently had general anaesthetic, that triggers a full health check, and you have to send in all of the stuff that things like that generates, and it can be 2-3 round trips sending stuff to a doctor Jan 26 10:04:53 And if your loan needs an agreement from the commission at the bank, rather than the local branch (which it does if repayments will be over 33% of your monthly revenue, or you're requesting a bridging loan for more than 70% of the valuation of your current home, less outstanding debt, for example) that takes an extra 2 weeks because they really drill down into your credit & earnings history Jan 26 10:12:26 can anyone explain me what qt's 'meego graphics system' is about? Jan 26 10:13:13 an iconic user experience? Jan 26 10:46:29 hmm.. is there any off-the-self component available that would check test coverity based on check framework unit tests? Jan 26 10:48:04 lcov and a bit of scripting might work Jan 26 10:59:34 toninikkanen: isn't it so that gcov does not work with shared libraries? Jan 26 11:00:20 so my use case is that i have dll and set of unit tests and i want check their coverage Jan 26 11:00:52 well depends on how your unittests are built I guess, I had it once so that the required parts from the libraries were compiled statically into the unittest binary Jan 26 11:01:33 yes that would work probably for me also Jan 26 11:01:36 does somebody know how to solve this: Jan 26 11:01:46 i'll probably fallback to that Jan 26 11:01:50 pvr-bin-5.3.0.0035-16.1.i586 from non-oss-testing has depsolving problems Jan 26 11:01:50 --> pvr-bin conflicts with mesa-libGLESv1 Jan 26 11:01:50 Error: failed to create image : Failed to build transaction : pvr-bin conflicts with mesa-libGLESv1 Jan 26 11:16:13 mirek2_: why are you trying to put mesa-libGLESv1 and pvr-bin in same image? Jan 26 11:32:41 I am not Jan 26 11:32:52 it comes from some package from package group Jan 26 11:33:15 add -mesa-libGLESv1 in %packages then Jan 26 11:38:26 dos not resolve it Jan 26 11:40:53 hmm Jan 26 11:41:01 check how nCDK's .ks'es does it? Jan 26 11:44:00 Sage: yeah, something's really fishy with qt too Jan 26 11:44:06 er, wrong channel Jan 26 12:02:41 sorbus, are you from Finland? had to ask Jan 26 13:40:24 hey dragon Jan 26 13:46:34 Hi, I have an ASUS 1015PE and when I boot it up from the live mode, it doesn't seem to detect my WiFi NIC. Jan 26 13:46:48 It's probably a broadcom Jan 26 13:46:54 Actually, no, its not. Jan 26 13:47:08 Atheros ? Jan 26 13:47:37 RaLink RT3090 Jan 26 13:49:00 iirc, there was an issue with those in the kernel in 1.1 and it was marked as fixed for 1.1.1, i could be wrong Jan 26 13:49:27 Interesting. I originally tried Moblin, but then I joined #moblin and found Meego. ;) Jan 26 13:49:36 nod Jan 26 13:50:07 I'm gonna go ahead and install this, and see if I can get something to work, I found some guides for it possibly that will work. Jan 26 13:50:17 my new years resolution was to stop joining #moblin ;) Jan 26 13:50:24 LOL Jan 26 13:50:49 (I think I recall your nick from way back on #moblin) Jan 26 13:50:57 Nope. Jan 26 13:51:20 There was psi something or other guy, I helped install moblin on an sd card iirc Jan 26 13:51:35 Anyway, welcome to the world of tomorrow Jan 26 13:51:37 etc. Jan 26 13:52:11 Heh. Yeah. So far I like the idea Meego's got on netbooks.. I mean, wow.. Fast as heck, and yet popping eye candy at the same time. Unlike that Unity crap. Jan 26 13:55:06 Blah.. Jan 26 13:55:13 That guide I found was for the broadcom. Jan 26 13:55:19 Not the RAlink 3090. grrr. hehe Jan 26 14:00:34 DawnFoster: do you know when sponsorship applications for san francisco open? Jan 26 14:01:19 sjokkis: corporate sponsorship of the event or sponsored travel? Jan 26 14:02:09 Hmm, oddd.\ Jan 26 14:02:14 Psi-Jack: check the forums for that laptop model Jan 26 14:02:22 I'm pretty sure I've seen it mentioned as used ok Jan 26 14:02:26 I go to Ralink's Linux drivers download, and try to download, and get a 404.. Jan 26 14:03:24 slaine: 2 quick searches: 1015PE, and Ralink 3090, yields no results in the forums. Jan 26 14:03:40 :( Jan 26 14:03:55 DawnFoster: since i'm on program commitee again and we're starting CfP work, is there any way i can get access to survey results to base off for next CfP? Jan 26 14:04:00 sjokkis: we're already getting corporate sponsorships - Brian Warner is the contact for those Jan 26 14:04:37 sjokkis: sponsored travel requests should be ready as part of registration, which will open up in mid-Feb. Jan 26 14:05:28 DawnFoster: sponsored travel/accomodation Jan 26 14:05:47 sjokkis: yeah, that should be part of registration Jan 26 14:05:57 awesomesauce. thanks Jan 26 14:06:26 i think we'll be at least two from the team this year Jan 26 14:06:27 There we go, I found the RA3090 STA driver. Jan 26 14:09:24 lbt: ping Jan 26 14:10:35 How is Meego for internationalism? Like for example, I'd like to get Japanese IME support. Jan 26 14:29:55 Cope: pong Jan 26 14:42:20 Hmmm Jan 26 14:42:46 Seems like now that I blacklisted the rt2890sta and compiled the rt3090sta, it sees the Wifi, but also locks up. Jan 26 15:02:15 in #meego-meeting now: "Welcome to the first MeeGo L10N meeting of the year." Jan 26 15:49:12 alterego, seen on twitter #PushSnowboarding afaik it makes extensive use of gps tracks and other assorted sensory goodness Jan 26 15:49:35 the @NokiaPush guys have been doing it Jan 26 15:50:10 Sweet Jan 26 15:55:44 Well, I'd tried upgrading Meego using the zypper up method, and it loaded the rt2890sta driver, but that didn't work. It gave the WiFi option in networking, but wouldn't turn on. Jan 26 15:55:53 So, apparently, that's not fixed in 1.1.1 Jan 26 15:56:05 file a bug Jan 26 15:56:34 I'm downloading the 1.1.90 pre-releast atm Jan 26 15:56:55 meant to do work on my broadcom tutorial over the weekend but got side tracked Jan 26 15:57:00 slaine: i'd rather say "woo, another milestone" Jan 26 15:57:18 I'll try again Jan 26 15:57:20 I have compiled the rt3090sta driver myself, and it causes lockups, failure to load up meego fully into X, and I've even experienced the lockups also in Linux Mint as well. Which is, rather odd.. Jan 26 15:57:33 I'm downloading "woo, another milestone" atm Jan 26 15:57:55 slaine: For me, it's not broadcom, it's RaLink 3090. hehe Jan 26 15:58:09 I had a netbook that I returned that had a Broadcom. Older Acer One model. Jan 26 15:58:10 Psi-Jack: I know Jan 26 15:58:32 But they've changed the kernel and package details for 1.2 so I need to have my tutorial ready Jan 26 15:58:38 I just bought this Asus 1015PE brand new, and like it, but Windows 7 Starter was attrociously stupifying on it. Jan 26 15:58:46 Ahhh, I see. Jan 26 15:59:04 Psi-Jack: You could of course try one of the trunk images Jan 26 15:59:18 I'm pondering that. Where can I get those? Jan 26 15:59:18 slaine: qemu image? Jan 26 15:59:28 CosmoHill: no, going for the real deal Jan 26 15:59:34 good Jan 26 15:59:42 I'll have a mirror up in about 5 mins Jan 26 15:59:49 I've been so busy lately, I need to try and get motivated again Jan 26 16:00:01 I've not been busy but the motivation bit is the same Jan 26 16:00:19 currently telling LFS people to leave me be so I can work Jan 26 16:01:00 slaine: There a URL you can link me to get the trunk releases to test with? I'd be glad to try it out, see if it's workable, for now. Jan 26 16:01:25 http://repo.meego.com/MeeGo/builds/trunk Jan 26 16:01:40 cool, that worked from memory Jan 26 16:02:00 http://cross-lfs.org/~cosmo/meego/1.2/meego-netbook-ia32-1.1.90.0.20110125.3.img Jan 26 16:02:02 http://download.meego.com/testing-daily/builds/trunk/ also Jan 26 16:03:06 * lcuk vanishes Jan 26 16:04:23 Psi-Jack: you have three choises there :) Jan 26 16:04:42 heh Jan 26 16:04:55 Thanks guys. :) Jan 26 16:05:17 if one seems slow try another cos they should be different servers Jan 26 16:05:33 I'm getting 1.6 MB/s from the link slaine provided originally. ;) Jan 26 16:05:58 I can't even get 1.6MB/s on anything :o Jan 26 16:06:03 hehe Jan 26 16:06:13 I'll download at home I think. I'll be heading shortly and we've a crappy 4Mb link here Jan 26 16:06:22 I plan to further upgrade my bandwidth capability next month to 50 Mbit/down. ;) Jan 26 16:06:39 I'm going out for a driver Jan 26 16:06:43 drive*, cyas Jan 26 16:08:50 Seems also that the ASUS EeePC's have a LOT of Linux support mostly, too. heh Jan 26 16:09:29 Linux Mint 10 and Ubuntu 10.10 even has a PPA for jupiter, the Asus SHE support. ;) Jan 26 16:16:27 I'm guessing that the Meego desktop environment itself is made using Qt, probably why I like it so much? :) Jan 26 16:16:40 netbook isn't, rest of UX'es are supposedly Jan 26 16:17:00 Hmm interesting. Jan 26 16:17:05 Stskeeps: "rest"? ;-) Jan 26 16:17:20 'handset' Jan 26 16:17:21 :P Jan 26 16:17:50 and ivi Jan 26 16:18:06 Is the netbook UX going to be Qt going forward? 1.3 or later? Jan 26 16:18:26 don't know, there doesn't even seem to be a development team for it Jan 26 16:21:27 Blah.. Jan 26 16:21:45 It still loaded the blasted rt2860sta which doesn't work on my rt3090 Jan 26 16:37:05 heh, now that's sad. Jan 26 16:37:18 I was able to just plug my USB Belkin Wifi adapter and it just worked. Jan 26 16:37:38 Heh, a netbook, with an external WiFi adapter. How wrong! Jan 26 16:43:36 Psi-Jack: I'm still confused as to why a lot of netbooks don't even have bluetooth :x Jan 26 16:43:59 cost, and only cost Jan 26 16:44:33 sad, really Jan 26 16:44:36 Heh yeah, I know. I have a little bluetooth dongle, but it's stupid. This RaLink 3090 is /supposed/ to be dual mode WiFi 802.11 b/g/n AND bluetooth, but on this netbook bluetooth is obviously disabled. Jan 26 16:44:54 DawnFoster: TSG or not tonight, btw? Jan 26 16:45:15 Stskeeps: currently yes :) Jan 26 16:45:24 Stskeeps: still confirming agenda :) Jan 26 16:45:35 hehe, okay :) Jan 26 16:46:21 Psi-Jack: I got a Dell Mini 9, has all of that jazz :) Jan 26 16:46:36 Not sure if it's a bit dated now, I did get it two years ago. Jan 26 16:46:57 heh Jan 26 16:47:09 I should buy my gf a proper laptop so I can have that back and install MeeGo on it .. Jan 26 16:47:14 I dunno. I /just/ got my Asus netbook day before yesterday. Jan 26 16:47:33 Less than $300, and pretty decent setup, minus the lack of bt Jan 26 16:47:58 And apparently the Ralink 3090 issues I'm having. Jan 26 16:48:50 So, 1.1.90 definitely did not fix that issue at all. Which sucks. :( Jan 26 16:50:01 I'd quite like one of those lenovos they were giving away in Dublin :( Jan 26 16:50:19 I've never heard anything GOOD about Lenovo, myself. Jan 26 16:50:27 Heh Jan 26 16:51:02 I've heard great with Asus EeePC's, pretty good with Acer Aspires, and not much on anything else. Jan 26 16:51:19 Well, from what I can tell the Dell Minis are the best. Jan 26 16:51:26 As far as running Linux on them ^.^ Jan 26 16:51:35 i've got an acer aspire one with a dead screen, i googled a bit and seems that could be fixed with 40 euros and a screwdriver. it runs meego fine Jan 26 16:51:39 And the build quality is amazing, and it's really easy to mod :) Jan 26 16:51:59 Where as the aspires and the eees have always been a b*tch to dissassemble. Jan 26 16:52:04 Yeah, and with Dell's you definitely pay an extreme price for them. Jan 26 16:53:22 I got mine about the same price as yours Jan 26 16:53:45 Yeah, mine was $270 Jan 26 16:53:51 USD that is. Jan 26 16:54:01 The Dell, when I got it, was 285 USD Jan 26 16:54:09 The current line of Dell Mini's, local, I find at about $384 USD Jan 26 16:54:13 But it was an ex-display model from a phone shop. Jan 26 16:54:36 And some kind of Crystal HD Broadcom Media Accelerator for graphics... heh Jan 26 16:54:37 <[q^_^p]> fix the camara on kernel-power 46 Jan 26 16:54:37 <[q^_^p]> any advice Jan 26 16:54:56 It was in perfect nick, except the ass hole took out the 3G module and gave me the wrong power adapter, even though it works .. Jan 26 16:55:00 [q^_^p]: wrong channel, Jan 26 16:56:31 alterego: Heh, yeah, my Netbook I returned was from RAC.. Bad idea, I know, but I got it free for a month. Decent little thing, but Broadcom Wifi that was a pain. They gave me a bad power cable that had bare wire exposed, said they could order me a new one, lied, gave me one that didn't fit it right and snug, had to be in a VERY specific way, and yeaaah. I said, screw you guys. Jan 26 16:56:57 :/ Jan 26 16:57:07 Went to Best Buy, picked this up, returned the Acer to RAC, now exploring a new Netbook.. Hoping I can get it to do what I want.. Jan 26 16:57:12 Yeah, I wasn't _that_ fussed about the charger or the 3g module. Jan 26 16:57:28 I like the battery life of this Asus though, holy crap.. Jan 26 16:57:37 Actually ,that wasn't the only "slight" con, the model (and I checked) was a windows version with 3G module. Jan 26 16:57:38 The Acer, MAYBE 2 hours.. Jan 26 16:57:43 Guess what else it didn't come with? :) Jan 26 16:57:49 This Asus, I can get 6 hours at maximum performance. Jan 26 16:58:26 He gave me an ubuntu CD with it ^.^ instead of the windows XP installation disc. Jan 26 16:58:33 lol Jan 26 16:58:41 Joke is on him though, he left the windows license key on the bottom of the netbook Jan 26 16:58:52 BB gave me Kaspersky Anti-Virus with mine.. I was like. OKay... It's a CD.. How would I install it? LOL Jan 26 16:58:57 Not that I need it with the MSDN license I have. Jan 26 16:59:07 Psi-Jack: yeah, there's that too :D Jan 26 16:59:16 Hi all Jan 26 16:59:20 DawnFoster, Ping? Jan 26 16:59:21 Aloha dneary_ Jan 26 17:00:04 So far there's only one thing about Meego I'm not liking, interface-wise. Jan 26 17:00:14 The battery indicator only says percentage, not time remaining. Jan 26 17:00:39 File a bug report :) Jan 26 17:01:05 heh Jan 26 17:01:18 If I can manage to use Meego, I will. ;) Jan 26 17:01:31 dneary: hey Jan 26 17:02:12 Worse comes to worst, I may just use the Belkin WiFi dongle for a while, file a bug report on that for the rt3090, file a bug report on the battery indicator, and hope the first one gets resolved quickly.. hehe Jan 26 17:04:03 Few things I really want to be able to use my netbook for, since I'm gonna be traveling to Japan here this year.. in-flight continued study of Japanese. ;) Jan 26 17:04:23 Cause, 12 hours on a plane, gotta do /something/ heh Jan 26 17:07:41 Psi-Jack: Nice :) Jan 26 17:08:05 Yeah, my soon-to-be wife is over there. ;) Jan 26 17:09:21 DawnFoster, You mentioned you could get me access to the survey data? Jan 26 17:19:02 Hmmm, I'm guessing MeeGo doesn't have OpenOffice? Jan 26 17:20:26 I don't think we do Jan 26 17:23:39 Hmmm, that's about one of the few things it's missing. ;) Jan 26 17:23:58 the netbook UX could have it Jan 26 17:24:14 I'm using MeeGo Netbook Jan 26 17:32:51 Heh, iiiinteresting. Looking at the ralink drivers you can download directly from Ralink's website, there's specific changelog entries about compatability with MeeGo's network manager! Jan 26 17:38:13 Noice Jan 26 17:41:10 YES!!! Jan 26 17:41:36 I got the built-in WiFi Working! I had to get the firmware only, put it into /lib/firmware as rt3090.bin , and voila! Jan 26 17:45:13 Psi-Jack: wicked :) Jan 26 17:45:21 Psi-Jack: submit a bug :D Jan 26 17:45:40 OR search, there may be a reason they haven't distributed that firmware. Jan 26 17:45:50 Hehe. Jan 26 17:46:05 Yeah. I think it's because of Ralink's distribution license. Jan 26 17:46:16 http://forum.meego.com/showthread.php?p=12139 Jan 26 17:46:31 Heh Jan 26 17:46:33 I found that trick here, which wasn't for my specific netbook, but they mentioned rt3090. Jan 26 17:46:45 Yeah Jan 26 17:47:38 So far. *crosses fingers* It's also stable. Jan 26 17:48:00 It's BASICALLy the rt2860 driver with 3090 firmware, that's it.. Jan 26 17:48:35 The 3090 full has both 802.11n and Bluetooth, this is a lesser hybrid with the same model. Fricken hate when companies do that crap. one model, multiple versions of it. Jan 26 17:51:09 And now, it's wonderfully dropping the connection,... sighj Jan 26 17:52:24 random question, if I was zero filling a hdd with dd, would the blocksize affect the speed? Jan 26 17:59:12 Curious.. MeeGo apparently used to use yum before, now using zypper.. Does that mean that MeeGo is kinda based on OpenSUSE? Jan 26 18:01:23 MeeGo is based on it's self Jan 26 18:01:29 * Psi-Jack nods. Jan 26 18:01:44 Moblin used yum and that was carried over into MeeGo 1.0 and I think 1.1 by mistake Jan 26 18:02:53 CosmoHill, I think 1.1 uses zypper Jan 26 18:02:55 Well.. Skype.. Sorta works.. Jan 26 18:03:02 1.1 does use zypper. Jan 26 18:03:04 both have zypper installed Jan 26 18:03:27 hopefully yum will not be present in 1.2 Jan 26 18:03:44 Psi-Jack: "sorta works" is a very high rating :) Jan 26 18:03:59 heh, hey, I like, and use Skype. Jan 26 18:04:23 Even have my own Skype WiFi phone, because $60/yr for unlimited US/Canada calls is friggen good. ;) Jan 26 18:04:25 I meant on meego Jan 26 18:04:56 that depends, I don't know anyone's phone number who lives in the US or canada Jan 26 18:04:59 Yeah, apparently banshee was eating the CPU Jan 26 18:07:55 Welp, now that banshee's not killing the CPU,, Skype works dang good. ;) Jan 26 18:13:07 i hate things that kill the processor Jan 26 18:13:10 * CosmoHill glares at flash Jan 26 18:13:51 Stskeeps: Agenda for the TSG today in 1.75 hours :) http://wiki.meego.com/Technical_Steering_Group_meetings Jan 26 18:14:58 DawnFoster: spotted it already :) Jan 26 18:15:06 ah good. Jan 26 18:15:15 I made one final change a few min ago Jan 26 18:15:56 * Stskeeps liked bdub's approach of "please bugzilla me" Jan 26 18:16:06 that's openness and transparency right there :) Jan 26 18:25:10 Hmmm, does Sync with Google not do notes, appointments, or tasks, even though I know the google service has all that? Jan 26 19:22:08 Fun Jan 26 19:22:44 Everytime I try to use the Meego menu suddenly it just slides open and shut the entire panel that comes out... On everything.. Applications, network, etc, everything. Jan 26 19:29:36 DawnFoster: quite nice that we're resolving almost as many bugs as is created, even though i wonder how much of those are related to the policy of "each new package update needs a BMC or FEA#" .. Jan 26 19:29:40 :P Jan 26 19:29:50 TSG meeting starting in 30 minutes: http://wiki.meego.com/Technical_Steering_Group_meetings Jan 26 19:30:29 Stskeeps: and december metrics are always a little odd, since have the world is on vacation, but I think you're probably right about the policy :) Jan 26 19:35:08 fiferboy: ping Jan 26 19:35:18 in the Time and Date panel, how do I add a time for specifically HMT? Jan 26 19:35:19 lardman: pong Jan 26 19:35:19 GMT Jan 26 19:35:27 how's things? Jan 26 19:36:06 lardman: Good. Busy. Jan 26 19:36:08 lardman: You? Jan 26 19:36:09 how's the "itemdb"-ish app coming along? Jan 26 19:36:34 also busy, waiting for my N900 to re-appear to I can get cracking on mBarcode updates and helping out with "itemdb" Jan 26 19:38:03 I have been refactoring my database project to take on a general library-esque theme Jan 26 19:38:15 cool Jan 26 19:38:52 There's a chap on TMO wanting to scan a load of items before moving house, so I was just touching base to see whether anything was up and running Jan 26 19:39:09 lardman: I used mBarcode today to decode a big QR my co-workers BB couldn't handle Jan 26 19:39:18 * lardman feels happy Jan 26 19:39:21 :) Jan 26 19:39:48 lardman: At the rate I am going it is going to be a while before I have things in a usable state Jan 26 19:39:54 Anyone? GMT on the Time and Date panel when you click on the time, it brings down that with multiple time zones, appointments and tasks, etc. Jan 26 19:40:14 Once I have an N900 back I'll start working on it, do you have the code up anywhere? Jan 26 19:40:54 someone took a message from UPS today, so I guess it's in transit (garbaled tracking number, so not quite sure where it is) Jan 26 19:41:11 Not yet, once I have everything renamed and compiling I will throw it up into a git server Jan 26 19:41:48 ok, will wait until you're sorted, no rush Jan 26 19:45:16 * lardman goes to grab some supper Jan 26 19:55:52 lardman: I'm having an urge to do a geolocation game with Columbus and QR barcodes :) Jan 26 20:03:15 evening all Jan 26 20:03:17 TSG meeting now in case anyone forgot :) Jan 26 20:10:28 ah... not "MeeGo operations" ... "MeeGo stuff that LF is supposed to deal with" Jan 26 20:14:55 dneary_: isn't the "be quiet" reminder very unpleasant ... just when you think you've waited for a pause Jan 26 20:15:13 watching people type is so hard Jan 26 20:15:16 quite makes you not want to say anything Jan 26 20:15:25 Yeah :) I was just saying - there was a lull, and I thought he'd finished Jan 26 20:15:47 lbt: I will ask for questions Jan 26 20:16:08 if we don't have a process for these meetings, we can't get to the approvals Jan 26 20:20:41 dneary_: at least the issue re naming of projects bug was assigned and taken upon Jan 26 20:21:46 Stskeeps: that's a huge step in the right direction Jan 26 20:22:05 bdub: btw, +1 on taking the approach of using bugzilla for your work tracking :) Jan 26 20:22:41 thanks! Jan 26 20:22:56 it'll keep me sane (or at least tell me how crazy I am) Jan 26 20:23:15 Gotta go Jan 26 20:23:29 laters dneary_ Jan 26 20:23:35 Sorry I can't stay longer, interested in Ibrahim's report. I guess I'll see the minutes Jan 26 20:23:42 bugzilla's my crazy metric Jan 26 20:24:22 hey bdub, welcome... Jan 26 20:24:24 slaine: worse than git commits? Jan 26 20:24:34 bdub: are you around Portland ? Jan 26 20:25:01 Stskeeps: yes, doing more and more managery stuff these days, so I see everyones bugzilla as well as my own, sigh Jan 26 20:25:12 lbt: I'm actually in Texas, but I'll be spending some time out there for sure. Jan 26 20:25:25 OK ... the MeeGo IT team is coming over the last week in Feb and it would be a good idea to meet. Jan 26 20:26:33 Nice! can you send me the details of which days they'll be there and what'll be happening? Jan 26 20:26:36 http://appdeveloper.intel.com/en-us/blog/2011/01/18/winning-meego-content Contest winners announced. Way to go thp, creator of my favorite app, gpodder (plug!) Jan 26 20:26:52 lbt, You relocated to Portland ? Jan 26 20:26:55 bdub: 20-26 Feb Jan 26 20:27:05 slaine: no, working visit Jan 26 20:27:20 right Jan 26 20:28:15 we need to find a better word than "companies" that in some way enclose foundations and organisations / projects for these kind of things.. Jan 26 20:28:29 facist contributors Jan 26 20:28:32 ^_^ Jan 26 20:28:37 * Mousey isn't helping Jan 26 20:28:40 * Mousey stfus Jan 26 20:28:46 * Stskeeps glares Jan 26 20:28:46 :P Jan 26 20:28:48 I like how intel still as a link to the moblin sdk on the appup developer front page Jan 26 20:28:58 bdub: we're working on an agenda ... Jan 26 20:29:24 wmarone: raise a bug and allocate to bdub :) ... technological consistency ... Jan 26 20:30:13 lbt: sounds good. Jan 26 20:31:02 on another note (and nothing to do with today's nomination) ... I was just wondering if any roles have been discussed or opened up before a nomination pops up onto the TSG and is rubber stamped? Jan 26 20:31:17 yeah! i have managed to install java in meego on my eee1000h :-)-):-) Jan 26 20:31:29 is there a 'nomination process' ? Jan 26 20:31:33 its so good Jan 26 20:32:11 * lbt tries to map "java" to "good" ... Jan 26 20:32:56 lbt: i've seen the QA roles being done like that Jan 26 20:34:07 lbt: lol Jan 26 20:34:26 i need it for surfing Jan 26 20:35:14 effchen: that's a reasonable use for java Jan 26 20:35:37 Stskeeps: OK ... still seems the exception Jan 26 20:36:36 java used to be popular for surfing in the 90s... Jan 26 20:36:42 fphover anyone? Jan 26 20:37:46 lbt: a good discussion over a cider or a beer on if job qualifications/experiences outside a project is meritocracy :) Jan 26 20:40:07 true ... but tends to mean you have to live near someone important :) Jan 26 20:42:11 capable-to-get-sponsorship-of-meego-position-cracy? ;) Jan 26 20:43:18 i'm sure we'll come up with a good term eventually Jan 26 20:56:03 lbt: I find the nomination stuff a little odd at times too Jan 26 20:56:33 perhaps a week proposal period now that's we're kinda over bootstrap mode? Jan 26 20:58:17 mwichmann: thanks - glad it's not just me :) Jan 26 20:58:19 slaine, I think theres even more legal stuff regarding medical usage of devices, not to mention the medical data laws HIPA and stuff Jan 26 20:58:27 thiago_home: isn't it better we're all relaxed by SF? :P Jan 26 20:58:38 e.g. got no problem at all with bdub, quite the contrary Jan 26 20:58:43 and partying that we've just released Jan 26 20:58:55 if we release at the end of April or beginning of May, we have the new release starting up Jan 26 20:59:13 thiago_home: nah... give them time to find hardware that's compatible this time Jan 26 20:59:32 * lcukx200 slaps lbt Jan 26 20:59:50 heh thanks mwichmann ;-) Jan 26 20:59:56 but he's hired by LF to do a job that is already delegated to LF, kind of odd the project has to nominate/approve that, which should be LF's option, right? Jan 26 21:00:16 lcukx200: you're not in #meego-bar .... people are going thirsty Jan 26 21:00:28 hiya bdub \o Jan 26 21:00:32 howdy! Jan 26 21:00:34 lbt having internet connectivity issues Jan 26 21:00:44 mwichmann: more interestingily, if nominee moves company, is nominee still in a meego role? :P Jan 26 21:00:48 but since I just opened a Guinness, yes I shall head to #meego-bar Jan 26 21:00:53 lcukx200: :) Jan 26 21:01:23 mwichmann, yes, the impetus behind this role was that the LF had a bunch of people doing MeeGo part time. They figured it was going to be much more efficient to have one person handle all of that. Jan 26 21:01:24 Stskeeps: so meegobot is python? :) Jan 26 21:01:31 sivang: yes Jan 26 21:01:35 bah! thats the shortest tsg I have sat in, missing a big chunk was not inmy plan Jan 26 21:01:44 Much of what I do will actually be behind the scenes. I'm practicing my evil laughs as we speak. Jan 26 21:01:44 same here Jan 26 21:01:57 bdub: just hope you do have time to do everything Jan 26 21:02:13 mwichmann: any news on compliance spec work? Jan 26 21:02:31 sivang: MeeGoBot is perl, but maybe you are talking about something else Jan 26 21:02:31 and remember that it's OK to delegate out to community members - ie, ask someone if they'd like to head up let's start, beginnings of a policy document or whatever Jan 26 21:02:35 kevinz: ping ... do you mind discussing here? Jan 26 21:03:08 sure Jan 26 21:03:29 ok .. answers that Jan 26 21:03:31 alterego: if you need any mBarcode plugins for your geoloc let me know Jan 26 21:03:45 so kevinz.... you want to port meego to another platform and want an OBS account Jan 26 21:03:53 yes Jan 26 21:03:57 and this is a commercial activity Jan 26 21:04:02 yes Jan 26 21:04:12 so the community OBS is for opensource stuff Jan 26 21:04:19 yes Jan 26 21:04:30 and we don't really have the resource to support a port like that at the moment Jan 26 21:04:32 dm8tbr: ah, sorry the meeting bot then Jan 26 21:04:38 sivang: yes, sort of, things are starting to roll again and there should be calls for reviews by early next week Jan 26 21:04:44 I may ask some questions before then Jan 26 21:04:47 thiago_home, I know what you mean! a lot of stuff. This (MeeGo in general) is a busy group of people Jan 26 21:04:47 kevinz: out of curiousity, is it another platform or ARM? Jan 26 21:04:49 so you probably want to investigate getting an OBS of your own setup Jan 26 21:05:03 lardman: I was sort of thinking the opposite ;) Jan 26 21:05:06 not asking for support much. It's for arm based Jan 26 21:05:12 An mbarcode plugin for columbus. Jan 26 21:05:13 just how to build Jan 26 21:05:19 kevinz: oh, we want to help :) Jan 26 21:05:23 kevinz: come by #meego-arm and let's have a talk :) Jan 26 21:05:31 mwichmann: reviews for a new draft? Jan 26 21:05:37 ok Jan 26 21:05:40 yes Jan 26 21:06:06 kevinz: and you can have a community account too ... just to help learn using the OBS Jan 26 21:06:12 what's your meego.com username Jan 26 21:06:47 mwichmann: okay, are you going to send a notif to ml once draft is on wiki? Jan 26 21:07:15 mwichmann: together with your questions, I'd like to also read it before to see where we stand :) Jan 26 21:07:24 kevinz is my meego.com username Jan 26 21:07:36 kevinz: if you are looking for instructions how to do a local build of all meego packages... give up now before you go completely crazy Jan 26 21:07:44 kevinz: OK ... you're enabled Jan 26 21:07:54 cool man. Thanks a lot! Jan 26 21:08:05 np Jan 26 21:08:11 ali1234: still stuck ? Jan 26 21:08:19 sivang: seeking to clarify issues such as difference between abi vs api promises, things that are known to be changing (arm abi, gl/egl, etc.) and so on Jan 26 21:08:32 yes, of course there will be a note on doc when available Jan 26 21:08:51 yeah i can't even successfully compile 1 app using obs, but that's just me Jan 26 21:09:07 alterego: feel free to contribute then :) Jan 26 21:09:09 i gave up trying to compile all packages months ago, i don't believe it is possible Jan 26 21:09:18 and no new docs have come out since then Jan 26 21:09:22 that i have seen Jan 26 21:09:29 ali1234: OBS is not trivial Jan 26 21:09:39 but it's not *that* hard Jan 26 21:09:54 it isn't OBS i have a problem with really Jan 26 21:09:55 just start slowly and not "rebuild the entire world" as step 1 Jan 26 21:10:24 import a meego release and rebuild a leaf package against that Jan 26 21:10:28 i mean sure it always goes wrong, has downtime that prevents me doing local work, has terrible docs Jan 26 21:10:29 then move along Jan 26 21:10:40 but i can work around that Jan 26 21:10:57 the problem i have at the moment is generating a spec file for a trivial project Jan 26 21:11:15 it was recommended i use autospectacle however this doesn't even run properly on meego Jan 26 21:12:04 i'm sure if i could get a spec file done, i could compile my app, assuming i can figure out why osc always says i am not authorized (i fixed .oscrc and i can log in using a browser) Jan 26 21:12:23 and then assuming i can figure out why osc co never works, just says "error 2: file not found" Jan 26 21:12:53 hehe... yeah, OK Jan 26 21:13:01 this is community OBS ? Jan 26 21:13:04 yes Jan 26 21:13:12 and your distro ? Jan 26 21:13:17 meego Jan 26 21:13:25 not supported Jan 26 21:13:39 * lbt grins Jan 26 21:14:20 I don't actually run meego anywhere yet... Jan 26 21:15:27 sorry, osc co (checkout) works Jan 26 21:15:32 it's when i try to commit Jan 26 21:16:00 can you use something sane? like Debian ? Jan 26 21:16:40 mwichmann: okay, great. Feel free to ping me through email as I am no longer holding my irc session. Jan 26 21:16:51 mwichmann: or the list, for that matter. Jan 26 21:16:57 mwichmann: *on Jan 26 21:17:17 lcukx200: Yes, there are lots of areas there, but not all of them are laiden with standards etc. Jan 26 21:17:27 i can use something sane like debian but only if i am not forced to add external repos that mess up the system for other tasks than "developing for meego" Jan 26 21:18:19 lardman: it was just a small idea really, basically a geocaching game. But I donmt have experience doing that sort of thing :) Jan 26 21:20:49 thing is, i'm only really doing this to see how easy it is. so i'm not really interested in long winded work arounds. Jan 26 21:21:18 so don't go out of your way to help me. concentrate on fixing it for everyone... Jan 26 21:21:33 ali1234: most people follow the instructions and, within reason, "it just works" Jan 26 21:21:45 i find that difficult to believe, really... Jan 26 21:21:54 now sure... they may not be perfect (ie include non debian repos) but they work Jan 26 21:22:06 it's true Jan 26 21:22:09 sivang: LeeGo? that's two trademark infringements in one :) Jan 26 21:22:26 hehe Jan 26 21:22:43 Stskeeps: I'm sure leinir can find a good name then :) Jan 26 21:22:54 Stskeeps: I will soon need a lawyer eh? :-p Jan 26 21:23:15 *giggles* well, i wouldn't mind trying ;) Jan 26 21:23:18 ali1234: you could always make a chroot for your meego stuff so it doesn't interfere with whatever else you're doing. Jan 26 21:23:52 alterego: i could do, but it sounds like a long winded work-around to me Jan 26 21:24:11 leinir: I just recalled our chat about Lego world, and thought about meego hence the idea Jan 26 21:24:14 i know i can make it work like that,and i don't have to try it to know how annoying it would be Jan 26 21:25:28 sivang: Hehe :) Jan 26 21:25:35 ali1234: well, I don't have your problems, I've got desktop, maemo and meego development environments, several different versions of Qt and nothing interferes. Jan 26 21:26:58 nothing that you know of :) Jan 26 21:27:02 leinir: it'd be nice to go back in time a bit, to when I was spending most of my free hours at lego technique but this time combine it with an ARM controller :) Jan 26 21:27:16 All on my ubuntu 10.10 laptop. Jan 26 21:27:24 sivang: Tehee, yeah, that would be kind of fun :) Jan 26 21:27:33 ali1234: nothing interferes. Jan 26 21:27:34 when i look in the ubuntu repo for osc stuff i see loads of packages that i don't know what they do Jan 26 21:27:40 leinir: respond on the ML, if you will (sorry for the solicitation) Jan 26 21:27:44 ;) Jan 26 21:27:52 *nods* Sure thing :) Jan 26 21:27:55 but i know they're incompatible with the ubuntu versions they replace, otherwise there would be no need to replace the ubuntu versions Jan 26 21:28:21 ali1234: meego likes to have the latest versions of the build tools. Jan 26 21:28:23 now i'm not going to go hunting through the changelog for each one to see what was changed, and if it will affect me Jan 26 21:28:41 and i'm not going to just blindly install them either Jan 26 21:29:10 Well don't then Jan 26 21:29:16 Don't do anything. Jan 26 21:29:43 This is just another thing for you to bitch about :P Jan 26 21:29:47 i figured that meego itself would have the right versions Jan 26 21:29:59 but apparently it doesn't Jan 26 21:30:11 The right versions for what? Jan 26 21:30:43 the right versions that would allow me to use osc successfully, to use autospectacle successfully... Jan 26 21:31:36 So, you've installed the required packages from the meego repo for your distro and you cant do what you want/need with them? Jan 26 21:31:42 no Jan 26 21:32:11 i have installed meego, and then installed all the develpment tools from the meego repository for meego Jan 26 21:32:24 Oh, right Jan 26 21:32:24 which should work Jan 26 21:32:25 so in a sense, yes i have done that Jan 26 21:32:43 ali1234: a very dumb question, or you on trunk upates for that meego installation? Jan 26 21:32:45 zypper install -t pattern packaging-tools Jan 26 21:32:59 s/or/are/ Jan 26 21:32:59 sivang meant: ali1234: a very dumb question, are you on trunk upates for that meego installation? Jan 26 21:33:02 auke: i have all the tools installed, they just don't work :) Jan 26 21:33:23 ali1234: do not go to start, go straight to bugzilla, you will not get 200$ Jan 26 21:33:39 what version of meego did you install/update to? Jan 26 21:33:41 i reported that ext4 bug btw, along with a tonne of bootloader and installer issues Jan 26 21:34:06 bug numbers? Jan 26 21:34:41 12813 - 12817 inclusive Jan 26 21:36:22 i'm using 1.1.80.15.20110118.5 atm. i just happened to have it installed after testing all those issues were still present. Jan 26 21:36:40 so, which version is good for making the dev tools work? Jan 26 21:38:43 is touchscreen suppose to work in meego out of the box??? Jan 26 21:39:02 that's one thing that does work for me, on ideapad Jan 26 21:39:11 so yeah... even works in the installer Jan 26 21:39:44 so which touchscreen driver it uses??? Jan 26 21:39:52 depends on your hardware Jan 26 21:40:11 yeah what was it in your case?? Jan 26 21:40:25 i don't know, it just works Jan 26 21:40:31 it doesn't say which it is using Jan 26 21:40:52 ok ... though I have my own hardware running moorestown ... Jan 26 21:41:05 is this netbook or handset UX? Jan 26 21:41:08 I made my own image using kernel-mrst and netbook packages Jan 26 21:41:16 netbook UX Jan 26 21:44:12 in about 10 minutes i can tell you which driver it is using... after i reinstall 1.1 and while i run all the updates Jan 26 21:45:04 ok .. Jan 26 21:45:12 that wud good information Jan 26 21:46:07 is question regarding the chroot doc go in meego ml or meego-dev or meego-sdk? Jan 26 21:46:12 (It is under SDK in the wiki) Jan 26 21:50:14 kp: it appears to be using generic usb hid Jan 26 21:50:35 oh k .. Jan 26 21:50:55 Can you send me your xconf file Jan 26 21:50:57 ? Jan 26 21:51:20 /etc/X11/ Jan 26 21:51:36 it is empty Jan 26 21:55:49 k Jan 26 21:56:34 "Enabled Russion keyboard" - Russion? Jan 26 21:56:47 no Jan 26 21:57:02 is that a typo or is there really such a thing? Jan 26 22:02:56 alterego: sorry for the slow response Jan 26 22:03:47 alterego: Before my N900 broke I was making an augmented reality app, the Android versions (e.g. layar) have something that might be of interest/copyable - games overlaid in certain locations Jan 26 22:04:43 Yeah, I'll be adding AR to Columbus in V2 Jan 26 22:05:12 Though it'll be better with I get a Maemo/MeeGo handheld with a compass .. Jan 26 22:05:20 lardman: ^ Jan 26 22:05:37 yeah, well fingers crossed Jan 26 22:05:53 I added a scrolling compass widget for the N900, with the sun to align against Jan 26 22:06:08 and of course I have a Tab now, which does have a compass :) Jan 26 22:06:42 Heh Jan 26 22:07:02 Well, my MeeGo port will come before the next device from Nokia Jan 26 22:07:42 so maybe if I can get my hands on a cheap android with a decent screen, gps and a compass I can get meego on it and get it all at least working ^.^ Jan 26 22:08:13 need a stable camera framework first Jan 26 22:08:17 for me at least Jan 26 22:08:21 Yes, Jan 26 22:16:18 so "packaging-tools" isn't a pattern on 1.1.2, it's a package Jan 26 22:16:29 so i assume i am supposed to be using something newer Jan 26 22:16:59 sorry, I don't install them every day Jan 26 22:17:26 you'll want the development-tools pattern I suppose Jan 26 22:17:28 it is a pattern on the weekly build i had installed before (the one that didn't work) Jan 26 22:19:11 wow look at that, osc co works on 1.1.2 Jan 26 22:19:24 no "unauthorized" message Jan 26 22:22:56 looks like commit works too Jan 26 22:31:31 yawn, stretch Jan 26 22:31:37 right, off to the couch for a bit and then bed Jan 26 22:31:40 catch you all tomorrow Jan 26 22:32:55 "development-tools" doesn't seem to include qmake Jan 26 22:34:13 neight does "qt-devel-tools" Jan 26 22:49:04 well autospectacle still fails but i can manually build and run the app just fine Jan 26 23:03:14 hy everybody Jan 26 23:04:16 I just copied the 1.1 image on a 2gb disk. inserted it into my n900 und started the flasher util. But the device just shows the nokia logo and does not boot. what could I do? Jan 26 23:05:12 markus___: how did you copy the image? Jan 26 23:05:15 markus___: you need to use dd the image onto the disk and not copy thei mage to the filesystem. Jan 26 23:05:47 sudo dd bs=4096 if=meego-handset-armv7l-n900-1.1-mmcblk0p.raw of=/dev/mmcblk0p1 Jan 26 23:06:51 Not p1 Jan 26 23:06:52 1946157057 Bytes (1,9 GB) kopiert, 474,433 s, 4,1 MB/s Jan 26 23:06:56 Just /dev/mmcblk0 Jan 26 23:07:24 It's a disk image, not a partition Jan 26 23:07:43 bbl Jan 26 23:08:05 okay. will copy image again Jan 26 23:10:06 I tried first with the build from yesterday which told me that there is not enough diskspace. I have a 2gb disk only as the page states :( Jan 26 23:19:48 thats what I did now: sudo dd bs=4096 if=meego-handset-armv7l-n900-1.1-mmcblk0p.raw of=/dev/mmcblk0 Jan 26 23:20:04 exactely same result. it does not boot into the image Jan 26 23:20:23 should the flasher start the booting directly? Jan 26 23:21:02 Yes, turn off your N900 Jan 26 23:21:10 make sure it's not plugged into USB Jan 26 23:21:14 run the flasher command Jan 26 23:21:23 Then when it says waiting, plug in the N900 Jan 26 23:21:45 Everything else should happen automatically. Jan 26 23:22:22 bye Jan 26 23:27:02 markus___: sometimes I had to hold the 'U' key while turning on the N900 to get it to boot the kernel Jan 26 23:28:52 is there a way to check it image was copied correctly to the card? Jan 26 23:28:57 and if card is okay? Jan 26 23:36:09 markus____: Well, does it boot? =) Jan 26 23:36:25 jeremiah: No its not booting Jan 26 23:36:47 What sort of error messages are you getting? Jan 26 23:37:03 You may be able to mount the root file system first, to see if there are issues there. Jan 26 23:37:11 Well, not boot, but mount. Jan 26 23:37:19 markus____: Which architecture are you on? Jan 26 23:37:27 x86 or ARM? Jan 26 23:38:01 I can start the old system normally Jan 26 23:38:18 linux mint Jan 26 23:38:39 kde flavour Jan 26 23:39:09 So you're running Linux Mint, copying an image of MeeGo Handset to an N900? Jan 26 23:39:22 yes Jan 26 23:39:48 And you've partitioned your SD card correctly? Jan 26 23:39:49 the n900 when started into old system says that filesystem on the card is not recognized Jan 26 23:40:20 jeremiah: hrrg. the docu didn't say anything about that Jan 26 23:40:21 markus____: So I think you may not have copied over the image from your Mint system to the card completely. Jan 26 23:40:47 One thing you can do is to do an md5sum of the image on your linux mint machine Jan 26 23:41:05 Then compare that with an md4sum of the dd'ed image on the card. Jan 26 23:41:26 If you ran out of space on your SD card, that might be the problem. Jan 26 23:41:48 this happend with the new image. the old one fitted on the card Jan 26 23:41:48 But there are lot of things that can go wrong. Heck, its embedded linux development. Jan 26 23:41:56 You're in the big leagues now. :) Jan 26 23:42:02 damn ;) Jan 26 23:42:30 markus____: How do you know the new image is complete? Jan 26 23:42:39 Did you check the md5sums? Jan 26 23:43:10 this is what the dd command wrote: "1946157057 Bytes (1,9 GB) kopiert, 324,539 s, 6,0 MB/s" Jan 26 23:44:04 I can mount the card on my linux system Jan 26 23:44:10 Ah, okay. Jan 26 23:44:18 So we're getting somewhere. :) Jan 26 23:44:49 When you mount it, what do you see? Jan 26 23:44:55 Do you see two partitions? Jan 26 23:44:59 there is a whole linux directory structure in there Jan 26 23:45:04 * Mousey thinks . o O ( angels! ) Jan 26 23:45:09 w00t! Jan 26 23:45:26 * jeremiah knocks the halos off the angels. Jan 26 23:45:29 yes Jan 26 23:45:47 there are 2 partitions Jan 26 23:45:59 So, the partition that has uImage, MLO and that junk is your boot partition. Jan 26 23:46:10 That is a VFAT file system. (If you care). Jan 26 23:46:30 And that is what "boots" the kernel and then hands off to the OS, which is MeeGo Jan 26 23:46:33 /dev/mmcblk0p1 1 24415 1562500 83 Linux Jan 26 23:46:38 Something is wrong in your boot partition. Jan 26 23:46:39 /dev/mmcblk0p2 24417 28320 249856 83 Linux Jan 26 23:46:48 Hmm, that boot partition looks okay. Jan 26 23:47:03 Do you have a uImage? Jan 26 23:47:13 uImage? Jan 26 23:47:29 cyas Jan 26 23:48:03 Can you do this, 'mount -o loop /dev/mmcblck0p1 /mnt/foo' ? Jan 26 23:48:32 You may have to create the /mnt/foo dir Jan 26 23:48:45 'sudo mkdir /mnt/foo' Jan 26 23:49:39 yes Jan 26 23:49:59 contains a lot of folders as well Jan 26 23:50:11 is there a file called "uImage" ? Jan 26 23:50:17 That is your kernel. Jan 26 23:50:40 there is a kernel into /boot Jan 26 23:50:46 vmlinuz-2.6.35.3-10.3-n900 Jan 26 23:51:10 Ah, okay Jan 26 23:51:14 That'll work. :-) Jan 26 23:51:18 but that would not be used as the kernel is supplied by flasher Jan 26 23:51:31 damn. so what now? Jan 26 23:51:33 Raim: Really? How do you know that? Jan 26 23:52:12 jeremiah: as markus____ told above he was using this approach Jan 26 23:52:37 thats what I use: http://meego.com/devices/handset/installing-meego-nokia-n900 Jan 26 23:53:08 wrong image? wrong flasher? Jan 26 23:53:50 Nope. Looks like you did the right thing markus____ Jan 26 23:54:10 You should have used a kernel that looked like this: meego-handset-armv7l-n900-*-vmlinuz-*-n900 Jan 26 23:54:38 I think Raim is saying that the uImage kernel is not the one supplied by the flashing method. Jan 26 23:54:43 And he/she is right. Jan 26 23:55:15 But it doesn't matter what name the kernel has, just if it is the complete image. Jan 26 23:55:25 And the only way to know that is to check first. Jan 26 23:55:56 Did you see this kind of information when you copied your image? Jan 26 23:56:01 475136+1 records in Jan 26 23:56:01 475136+1 records out Jan 26 23:56:02 1946157057 bytes (1.9 GB) copied, 214.382 s, 9.1 MB/s Jan 26 23:56:07 yes Jan 26 23:56:13 That is to say, did the number of records match? Jan 26 23:56:48 yes. the numbers match Jan 26 23:56:58 even if the image isn't complete, he should at least get some output from the kernel up to the stage where it tries to mount the root fs Jan 26 23:57:06 475136+1 Datensätze ein Jan 26 23:57:12 475136+1 Datensätze aus Jan 26 23:57:36 Raim: How are you so sure? Jan 26 23:57:47 Raim: He may have a missing bootloader for example. Jan 26 23:58:09 jeremiah: I've seen that myself as I tried to boot with the flasher but without a SD card inserted :) Jan 26 23:58:57 the flasher should send the kernel itself I guess. As i have to give the nam ein the command Jan 26 23:59:19 Well, my understanding is that the flasher sends the entire image. Jan 26 23:59:27 So the kernel is included. Jan 26 23:59:40 But I don't know the details of the Handset flasher internals. Jan 27 00:00:29 just found out that the second partition on the disk is swap Jan 27 00:00:44 heh Jan 27 00:00:46 okay. Jan 27 00:00:53 There is our problem. :-) Jan 27 00:01:00 There is no file system. Jan 27 00:01:27 (although the kernel should boot) Jan 27 00:01:32 the first partition has kernel and everything Jan 27 00:01:45 But there aren't any init scripts Jan 27 00:02:21 markus____: disconnect your N900, then start the flasher, it will say "Suitable USB device not found, waiting.", then plug in the N900, hold down the 'U' key and switch it on Jan 27 00:02:26 maybe the flasher is too new for the image? Jan 27 00:02:46 No, the flasher is from Maemo days. Jan 27 00:02:58 I doubt that's the problem. Jan 27 00:03:07 Follow Raim's advice. =) Jan 27 00:03:30 Raim: this does not flash the n900? I guess I can't even make calls with meego yet :D Jan 27 00:05:07 markus____: if you use "flasher-3.5 -l" it will only load the kernel once Jan 27 00:05:25 Okay. I am trying Jan 27 00:05:46 markus____: hmmm, for me the instructions are wrapped on the page. notice the "-b" on the next line. did you use that, too? Jan 27 00:07:11 Raim: heureka Jan 27 00:07:16 the -b did the trick Jan 27 00:07:17 :D Jan 27 00:07:17 damn Jan 27 00:07:39 w00t Jan 27 00:07:49 Raim: thanks for your help. ;) Jan 27 00:07:49 yeah :) Jan 27 00:08:02 :D Jan 27 00:14:58 Is there any idea of how much more life MTF has? Jan 27 00:16:25 What does MTF stand for? Jan 27 00:25:09 jeremiah: meego touch framework Jan 27 00:25:51 alterego: So you're worried that mcompositor is replacing libmeegotouch? Jan 27 00:26:15 Which may be right. All I know is that mcompositor is buggy. Jan 27 00:26:32 They're different things entirely. Jan 27 00:26:41 mcompositor is part of MTF Jan 27 00:26:45 Qt/Qml is replacing meego touch Jan 27 00:27:01 the framework includes both the window manager/compositor (mcompositor) and the widget set (libmeegotouch) Jan 27 00:27:11 Ah. Well, there you go. Jan 27 00:27:19 I'm talking about libmeegotouch :) Jan 27 00:27:34 QML is likely to get more investment at the top level from Nokia because libmeegotouch doesn't exist on Symbian Jan 27 00:27:55 Sounds like Robot101 knows what he/she is talking about. Jan 27 00:28:00 so it doesn't fit the QtMobility / Qt Quick / Qt everywhere story Jan 27 00:28:02 But then, he/she is a robot. Jan 27 00:28:19 Robot101: so it's not being removed? Jan 27 00:28:51 the whole MeeGo handset UX is based on it at the moment, so I imagine it will stick around for a bit Jan 27 00:29:04 Hrm Jan 27 00:29:17 Yes, that's what I figured. Jan 27 00:29:28 I'm not saying I'd choose it for new app developments right now though, QML is a lot easier and will get better faster, IMO Jan 27 00:29:50 easier to port onto different platforms / devices / verticals with QML too Jan 27 00:29:56 as it forces a nice model / view separation :) Jan 27 00:29:59 Yeah, QML is getting a lot of attention. People say it is easy to use and allows for quick development. Jan 27 00:30:18 jeremiah: it does, we've done some projects with it, and demos, and had a great time Jan 27 00:30:34 Well, my app currently is Qt and QtMaemo5. I want to write a new frontend that replaces the Maemo 5 with Qml Jan 27 00:30:37 Far out. Good to know. Jan 27 00:31:12 I've had a lot of fun with Qml too :) Jan 27 00:31:37 The good point about what I'm planning is I don't need Qt Components. Jan 27 00:31:51 Because I'm trying to create my own UX in my app. Jan 27 00:32:41 But I currently depend on Qt widgets for buttons, menus and dialogs. I plan to replace those with my own Qml stuff. :) Jan 27 00:37:51 alterego, hi Jan 27 00:38:30 vgrade: aloha :) Jan 27 00:38:57 alterego, did you check the ARM email Jan 27 00:39:41 I did, so I guess we have to wait until next week? Jan 27 00:41:27 I hope he can make the meet Jan 27 00:44:03 vgrade: yeah Jan 27 00:44:42 I'm guessing you got the mail I cc'd you in on to Collabora in Cambridge? Jan 27 01:31:55 http://mer-l-in.blogspot.com/2011/01/meego-community-development-apps.html Jan 27 01:34:03 Jaffa: ^^ Jan 27 02:04:51 hello, **** ENDING LOGGING AT Thu Jan 27 02:59:57 2011
