**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Mar 08 02:59:57 2011 Mar 08 03:01:27 A little... but for UI stuff I kind of like it. Mar 08 03:01:40 Kind of a balance between editing CSS files and actual code. Mar 08 03:01:57 yes Mar 08 03:02:34 but in a way its scarier, you will end up poking into the qml from c++ a lot Mar 08 03:03:14 Yep. Mar 08 03:03:36 so reading any portion of the code, whether c++ or javascript or css, you can't tell what it does Mar 08 03:04:40 i managed to get Qt/3D working with bullet: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=euSxmVhiG60 Mar 08 03:04:54 i'm not sure how QML would apply to something like this Mar 08 03:05:51 people are going to do that in javascript and then complain about short battery life Mar 08 03:06:20 ali1234: Cool! Mar 08 03:06:44 i was going to redo this for meego: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8CcfG5uxSOw Mar 08 03:06:54 (that is done all in horrible EGL calls) Mar 08 03:07:05 I started a QML project... but switched to QGraphicsScene to get better control of TouchEvents. Mar 08 03:07:48 also, lol at youtube comments Mar 08 03:08:04 sometimes i like to vote up the people who say "fake" just to mess with people Mar 08 03:08:25 ali1234: Nice job with the dice. Mar 08 03:08:54 My mom had something like a Samsung Mythic... and there was a virtual dice app that couldn't run without periodic hitches. Mar 08 03:09:09 neither can mine :/ Mar 08 03:09:17 i think PR1.2 broke it Mar 08 03:09:26 Oh, really. Hard to tell from the youtube. Mar 08 03:09:31 it's ooooold Mar 08 03:09:32 Looked smooth. Mar 08 03:09:40 it was smooth when i wrote it, but not any more Mar 08 03:09:49 oh Mar 08 03:10:07 also youtube has that effect too Mar 08 03:11:07 also it's the most basic of basic graphics possible, just cubes with the most simple shader ever and tiny textures Mar 08 03:11:49 this one has really nice graphics (iphone) : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ugoq8M2XxVE Mar 08 03:13:01 i think he is cheating on accelerometer too Mar 08 03:13:52 probably... but it looks nice. Mar 08 03:14:35 yeah Mar 08 03:15:07 basically 2 things stopped me from finishing that app for maemo: Mar 08 03:15:24 difficulty of using raw EGL shaders (i only know fixed function GL) Mar 08 03:15:40 and difficulty of packaging the physics lib (old version used ODE) Mar 08 03:16:34 Qt/3D fixed 1, and bullet fixes 2 (since i can static link it) Mar 08 05:44:52 this (and the conversation following it) troubles me -> http://lists.meego.com/pipermail/meego-dev/2011-March/481890.html Mar 08 05:46:30 timoph: I can empathize... Mar 08 05:46:37 but I was pretty encouraged by it. Mar 08 05:47:14 timoph: What in particular troubles you? Mar 08 05:47:49 to me it seems like we now have a one man architecture board with personal grudge agains nokia Mar 08 05:49:06 Well, Arjan has never been known for his bedside manner... Mar 08 05:49:11 :) Mar 08 05:49:20 morning Mar 08 05:49:32 iekku: howdy! Mar 08 05:50:24 timoph: But it's not just him making the calls. One e-mail spells out the team. Mar 08 05:50:38 oh. I missed that Mar 08 05:51:16 good that you pointed that out since I was just about to reply to the thread (and make an ass out of myself) Mar 08 05:52:08 ah... I see... Carston asked for an update on who the team is -- and that wasn't replied to. Mar 08 05:52:23 But Carston also listed out who he knew the team to be last fall. Mar 08 05:52:50 Meanwhile, there have been a bunch of aMeeGo's (including Nokia folks) in Portland over the past 2 weeks. Mar 08 05:52:59 yep. that's the question I want to get answered Mar 08 05:53:07 NishanthMenon: Go to bed!! Mar 08 05:54:06 timoph: http://wiki.meego.com/Architecture Mar 08 05:54:21 Arjan is the "chief" -- so he gets to look like the bad guy. Mar 08 05:54:33 :) Mar 08 05:54:38 He's good at it Mar 08 05:54:39 But, IMHO... with the official release scheduled 4 weeks away... Mar 08 05:54:44 we need a bad guy. :-) Mar 08 05:55:00 Or... is it 6 weeks. Mar 08 05:55:03 or 8. Mar 08 05:55:15 yep. The release is going be missing a lot of things that it was supporsed have Mar 08 05:55:23 Whatever... it's pretty close. Mar 08 05:55:28 Yes. Mar 08 05:55:42 In fact, I was worried about that /before/ the Nokia decision. Mar 08 05:55:51 yep. me too Mar 08 05:56:18 me, I just hope the lawyers get through all the red tape and allow all the stuff for the N900 (like GPS) to be made available Mar 08 05:57:06 for me the n900 is just a small piece of the puzzle. A nice to have thing for sure but not the main thing Mar 08 05:57:18 timoph: +1 Mar 08 05:57:34 well I care as a N900 owner Mar 08 05:57:50 * timoph has 2 n900s :) Mar 08 05:58:07 Yes, but the N900 isn't going to bring $$ into the MeeGo project. Mar 08 05:59:10 could be. I also really want see the DE for it to succeed Mar 08 05:59:43 Yes, I agree. Mar 08 06:01:18 this was the thing that got me really worried about the 1.2 release -> http://lists.meego.com/pipermail/meego-qa/2011-February/001051.html Mar 08 06:01:43 The N900 is currently the only cellphone target for MeeGo Mar 08 06:01:54 aside from whatever Nokia has in its labs Mar 08 06:02:13 you can run it on nexus1, aava, etc. too Mar 08 06:02:46 but the n900 is the current arm reference device Mar 08 06:03:18 hence why bringing it closer to feature-parity with Fremantle is of value Mar 08 06:03:33 actually I'm not sure if aava is a reference device anymore Mar 08 06:03:54 since there haven't been builds for it for some time Mar 08 06:04:16 timoph: Actually, I was worried over xmas when I saw all the iPad commercials and realized, "Wow. MeeGo is really, really late to this race." Mar 08 06:04:26 :) Mar 08 06:05:44 might be late but I still think it has a very real chance of succeeding Mar 08 06:06:20 I am hoping MeeGo makes a success in the cellphone market moreso than tablets Mar 08 06:06:39 IMHO, a strong app store is a pretty big part of what makes mobile devices (especially phones) popular. Mar 08 06:06:39 and of cource everyone has a different definition for "success" Mar 08 06:06:47 (At least, in today's market) Mar 08 06:06:50 yep Mar 08 06:07:12 Before 2/11... that was a real possibility for MeeGo. Mar 08 06:07:13 I think that's why we're seeing Intel pushing appUpp Mar 08 06:07:36 After 2/11 -- I'm not sure it can happen. Though it's clear Intel is going to make a run for it. Mar 08 06:08:25 If they release some nice hw with MeeGo. I'm pretty sure I'll buy it. I'm already doing apps for it Mar 08 06:09:14 Yep. Me, too. Mar 08 06:09:26 we started a game project with a couple of guys from QA tools Mar 08 06:09:28 MeeGo tablet or netbook has no interest for me Mar 08 06:09:42 only a cellphone would be something I care about Mar 08 06:09:56 well you'd better hope other cellphone makers sjump onto meego Mar 08 06:10:00 morn Mar 08 06:10:01 :) Mar 08 06:10:08 Hi Stskeeps! Mar 08 06:10:09 morn Stskeeps Mar 08 06:10:14 as nokia isn't going to be the one focusing on it :) Mar 08 06:10:33 Did Arjan ever answer your question about the Arch. team? Mar 08 06:10:34 no idea who else is/will use/ship meego on a phone Mar 08 06:10:43 Stskeeps: ^^^ Mar 08 06:12:58 gabrbedd: let's focus on the technical stuff for now or we'll miss target of release, actual project structures are figured out past the elopcalypse when nokia knows what they are doing :P Mar 08 06:13:41 nokia knows what it wants to do, the problem is that the information is not getting to the devs Mar 08 06:13:47 it might even turn out for the better now Mar 08 06:13:52 hopefully they'll get more info today Mar 08 06:15:01 Stskeeps: I fully agree. But if there was an answer, I was curious to know it. :-) Mar 08 06:15:43 me too Mar 08 06:16:24 i personally hope we'll move to an architectual model were it's less about affiliation and more about skill and capability. Mar 08 06:16:46 +1 Mar 08 06:18:05 Well, good morning guys. I'm going to bed now. :-) Mar 08 06:18:50 but that thread is going to be interesting to watch Mar 08 06:19:25 yep. Mar 08 06:22:03 which makes me think of a presentation title for the conference Mar 08 06:22:19 "Post-elopcalypse effects within the MeeGo project" ;) Mar 08 06:22:36 :D Mar 08 06:23:17 lol Mar 08 06:23:22 "post-elopocalyptic" Mar 08 06:23:31 I'm sure that would be a hit :) Mar 08 06:23:54 :D Mar 08 06:31:21 Stskeeps: so submit something alrady Mar 08 06:31:26 I've already done one Mar 08 06:32:54 Stskeeps : morning! Mar 08 06:33:01 thiago_home: yeah, i saw - good proposal Mar 08 06:33:09 wassupnari: good morning Mar 08 06:34:01 Stskeeps : we've tested the library, but.. still don't work. :( Mar 08 06:34:16 wassupnari: did you get 3d demos up and running? Mar 08 06:34:46 Stskeeps: hang on Mar 08 06:35:28 hahahaha "No sessions have been accepted yet. Session submissions are due by March 18, 2011. We expect to have a large subset of the presentations approved and scheduled by April 4th and are planning to have the final program ready before April 15th." Mar 08 06:35:32 finally that page is fixed Mar 08 06:35:45 I had a laugh at it over the weekend Mar 08 06:36:02 Myrtti: why? Mar 08 06:36:28 because I've submitted a talk too and it did appear on the accepted sessions page, just like yours did Mar 08 06:36:51 * Stskeeps looks Mar 08 06:36:58 oh, I hadn't noticed Mar 08 06:37:05 in fact, all of the ones that were/are on proposed were shown on the accepted page too Mar 08 06:37:15 I knew it wasn't real but I had fun anyway Mar 08 06:37:23 Myrtti: http://sf2011.meego.com/program/sessions , white marks current page Mar 08 06:37:31 Stskeeps: no kidding! Mar 08 06:37:39 yes, I know Mar 08 06:37:49 Stskeeps: do you know "yb"? he is one of my co-worker, he tested that library and he said he didn't use 3d demos. Mar 08 06:38:29 wassupnari: no sorry, but he should get the 3d demos from the 3d library working first, then it's easier to get rest working :) Mar 08 06:38:47 hm.. okay Mar 08 06:39:11 usualy there's some good demos to test everything works, or just check egl status or something Mar 08 06:40:52 glxgears Mar 08 06:41:05 thiago_home: GLES? ;) Mar 08 06:41:19 no eglgears? Mar 08 06:41:20 :-) Mar 08 06:41:52 Moo, ladies and gentlemen Mar 08 06:42:36 moo, RST38h Mar 08 06:42:53 thiago_home: i've yet to see one Mar 08 06:44:48 Stskeeps: i cannot find 3d demos, where can i get that? :) Mar 08 06:45:05 wassupnari: hmm, i would think they would be in the package for the SGX stuff Mar 08 06:45:13 graphics driver people are usually proud to give along demos ;) Mar 08 06:45:33 Stskeeps: hehe, okay Mar 08 06:47:58 wassupnari: because when the default demos work, it's easy to hook up rest of meego usually Mar 08 07:04:01 hm Mar 08 07:05:35 K'morning Mar 08 07:31:09 lbt: ping Mar 08 07:31:51 anyone here have any pending flights in the next couple of weeks? Mar 08 07:32:40 what, volcano started? Mar 08 07:32:40 :P Mar 08 07:33:02 i want to test a tool that deals in amadeus references Mar 08 08:15:19 timeless_xchat: pong Mar 08 08:32:26 lbt: got any flights pending? i want to try checking amadeus references Mar 08 08:32:37 tomorrow Mar 08 08:33:02 timeless_xchat: it's a bit problematic to ask about amadeus references since those + name allow people to check in Mar 08 08:33:08 and this could be abused Mar 08 08:34:03 stskeeps: yeah, in this case, lbt can watch me use it Mar 08 08:49:13 http://www.engadget.com/2011/03/08/lenovo-thinkpad-x220-and-x220-convertible-tablet-official-24-ho/ Mar 08 13:58:36 huuu Mar 08 13:58:48 huuuu Mar 08 14:28:04 so, are my fears true? noone's doing GSoC paperwork? Mar 08 14:29:49 maybe, but you might have asked at the worst time possible :) Mar 08 14:30:34 yes, at two/three days from the deadline =) Mar 08 14:30:48 Sounds like the plot of the best horror movie ever. Mar 08 14:31:05 javispedro: also, does MeeGo qualify? Mar 08 14:31:23 still, considering that even TI promised free hw for a future Meego GSOC participation... a pity if it were not to happen. Mar 08 14:31:42 i mean, maemo.org used to but "maemo" didn't Mar 08 14:32:50 I know -- one hopes Meego is open enough :D Mar 08 14:33:10 last year there was a half proposal from a Intel employee, even. Mar 08 14:34:57 send a mail to DawnFoster, cc quim and ask if it's OK if you drive it? Mar 08 14:34:59 to make it happen Mar 08 14:37:00 i think gsoc probably just drowned in this whole mess and having it would be a win-win situation for the project Mar 08 14:37:24 (tbh I myself I'm still worried about whether to push to register maemo.org or not, as the SSU could surely get some students bumps ;) ) Mar 08 14:37:24 * gabrbedd munches popcorn and watches the flame-war on meego-dev Mar 08 14:37:37 Stskeeps: yes, quite agreed. Mar 08 14:37:52 gabrbedd: i applaud it for the fact we're actually discussing architecture in the open Mar 08 14:37:55 :P Mar 08 14:38:08 more like you're flaming past architecture decisions in the open ;) Mar 08 14:38:41 meh, what's the difference.. Mar 08 14:38:41 :P Mar 08 14:40:55 Stskeeps: agreed, but I think it's a dead horse. Mar 08 14:41:10 I can't imagine them changing their minds... no matter what the tech. Mar 08 14:41:49 for 1.2 the choices really had to be made now, so yeah Mar 08 14:41:59 +1 Mar 08 14:42:12 the important thing is that we get 1.2 out the door Mar 08 15:08:15 hi all Mar 08 15:09:55 what happening ? :-) Mar 08 15:10:11 not much Mar 08 15:10:24 good fight in the mailing list Mar 08 15:10:39 berndhs: bout ? Mar 08 15:11:02 berndhs: i fail to find and signal in meego mls lately Mar 08 15:11:31 berndhs: as if the project got abandomned which feels sad. Mar 08 15:11:33 was about decision to pick a sync method for contacts Mar 08 15:11:43 sivaN900, completely the opposite :) Mar 08 15:12:39 if anything the announcement has been a kick in the arse and from what I see pretty much all teams across the board are motoring along and getting further with things Mar 08 15:13:03 sivaN900: meego-dev ML Mar 08 15:13:30 lcuk: nice to know. i am limited to following mls mostly these days ans things seem quite low Mar 08 15:13:47 gbraad: let me recheck Mar 08 15:13:49 And yes, the dev-focused ML's have been pretty quiet since 1/1/11. Mar 08 15:14:18 sivaN900, well ML ebb and flow just as life Mar 08 15:14:20 gbraad: right. so i am not crazy :-) Mar 08 15:14:40 lcuk: where have been progress made ? Mar 08 15:14:42 sivaN900, I believe Venemo keeps asking for you btw Mar 08 15:15:23 lcuk: i know i am taking long breaks due to some personal issues moving and other administrativa Mar 08 15:15:30 sivaN900, well this is one really good focal point: http://wiki.meego.com/ARM/N900/DeveloperEdition Mar 08 15:15:55 lcuk: ineed - but asince then mostly ailence on mls Mar 08 15:15:58 sivaN900, of course, nobody expected you around 24/7! just letting you know he was wanting to chat with you Mar 08 15:16:12 sivaN900, because everyone has been busy on their n900s Mar 08 15:16:18 lcuk: is ear piec audio working ? Mar 08 15:16:19 actually getting in there and doing stuff on them Mar 08 15:16:29 I am not sure whether the mail client is quite working yet ;) Mar 08 15:16:33 very good then :) Mar 08 15:16:56 lcuk: mail is fine in MicroB Mar 08 15:17:06 sivaN900, same as everyone, if there is a piece of functionality that matters to you, find a bug for it, or file it Mar 08 15:17:17 and chase it up Mar 08 15:17:41 lcuk: i cant chase it known nothing about kernel hacking Mar 08 15:18:04 sivaN900, without a bug number a developer cannot track it though Mar 08 15:18:08 lcuk: bug is filed - is earpiece calls working ? Mar 08 15:18:27 and to follow something you care about, you only need to be interested and discuss and try to followup Mar 08 15:18:36 sivaN900, what is the number?! Mar 08 15:20:36 lcuk: let me try and not cry when i try to work bugs.meego.com through microb Mar 08 15:21:06 bugzi is fault here. microb is the best mobile browser ever Mar 08 15:22:07 my 3g is being throttled again Mar 08 15:22:08 ok sivaN900 - I see no bug relating to "earpiece" or "ear piece" - perhaps it is my bugzilla foo, or it is just requested here Mar 08 15:22:13 oh god Mar 08 15:22:19 its fixed, i think Mar 08 15:22:27 Stskeeps: it is ? Mar 08 15:22:30 that is positive Mar 08 15:22:53 indeed. Mar 08 15:22:54 yes, but may only be in :testing atm Mar 08 15:23:41 ok. and battery drain and toasting ? i recall this was a tricky bit with kernel forward porting. Mar 08 15:23:56 that's great! Mar 08 15:24:15 sivaN900: people working on it Mar 08 15:25:16 Stskeeps: ok when i have wall internet again i will try to test. what about touch driver issue ? Mar 08 15:25:24 hey sivaN900 Mar 08 15:25:29 sivaN900: fixed Mar 08 15:25:30 sivaN900, how're you? :) Mar 08 15:25:30 hey Venemo Mar 08 15:25:56 Venemo: hanging :) your video was amazing Mar 08 15:26:17 Venemo: i am not sure how to apply it though. Mar 08 15:27:43 Venemo: but this is better for private :) Mar 08 15:34:36 sivaN900: :) Mar 08 16:15:29 hmmm Bug 14234 Filed in Handset/Settings has been sent to nobody@meego.com even though component and area the bug filed in is correct as far as I know! how odd Mar 08 16:15:32 <_MeeeGoBot_> Bug https://bugs.meego.com/show_bug.cgi?id=14234 nor, Medium, ---, nobody, NEW, About Product Dialogue shows rootfs (Maemo) product string Mar 08 16:16:04 Stskeeps any ideas for the right host of a mailing list to coordinate the MeeGo port for the N900 work? Should we try meego.com or...? Mar 08 16:16:50 lcuk: odd indeed Mar 08 16:17:03 qgil_: it would be similar to this one: http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-adaptation-intel-automotive Mar 08 16:17:19 where is the n900 stuff coordinated now? Mar 08 16:17:34 hi DawnFoster that would work perfectly Mar 08 16:18:01 Stskeeps: you know what to do to make the request, I assume? Mar 08 16:18:57 BTW, meego-events meeting in #meego-meeting in 45 minutes: http://wiki.meego.com/Events/Meetings Mar 08 16:18:59 changing list servers ? Mar 08 16:19:17 DawnFoster: one question about the name of the list still "intel automotive" refers to architecture-category, should we call this one simply N900 or follow the same schema Mar 08 16:19:47 qgil_: new ml for DE ? Mar 08 16:20:01 sivaN900: yes Mar 08 16:20:05 qgil_: yeah, that's a good question - depends on the scope of the work. Mar 08 16:20:11 didn't we have meego-arm ? Mar 08 16:20:18 qgil_: I'd prefer not to name it after a specific hardware Mar 08 16:20:33 and we should include adaptation in there somewhere to be consistent. Mar 08 16:20:35 qgil_: meego-arm Mar 08 16:20:53 there is no meego-arm mailing list Mar 08 16:21:10 DawnFoster: agreed - this needs a little more discussion then. Good points Mar 08 16:21:14 after all this is for OMAP arm stuff Mar 08 16:21:21 might make sense to lump arm handsets into one adaptation list? Mar 08 16:21:40 but part of the request process is to kick off a discussion on a mailing list Mar 08 16:21:46 so we can sort some of it out there Mar 08 16:22:03 Stskeeps: / Mar 08 16:22:29 DawnFoster: sounds sensible, at least is consistent with the precedent of intel-automotive (which I like) Mar 08 16:23:17 another option is to just keep using meego-arm until there is a need to split, as sivaN900 proposes Mar 08 16:23:27 DawnFoster: I'll go ask at meego-arm Mar 08 16:23:45 where is the meego-arm mailing list (not on meego servers) Mar 08 16:24:23 DawnFoster: right... he might be referring to #meego-arm Mar 08 16:24:44 ah, that would make sense - I know about that one Mar 08 16:25:27 but we need a mailing list - meego-adaptation-arm-handset would be an option Mar 08 16:25:49 sivaN900: were you talking about #meego-arm IRC or a amiling list? Mar 08 16:26:01 qgil_: maling list Mar 08 16:26:08 sivaN900: where is that? Mar 08 16:26:25 qgil_: if we dont have one we need to create one Mar 08 16:26:33 sivaN900: ok :) Mar 08 16:26:55 Then meego-adaptation-arm-handset looks like the consistent option Mar 08 16:27:21 qgil_: yes but do we need to adaptation there ? Mar 08 16:27:28 qgil_: eg the word Mar 08 16:27:31 won't that be a bit odd when running handset builds on pinetrail etc? Mar 08 16:27:52 qgil_: devloper edition would be more accurate no ? Mar 08 16:27:58 and here's the request process (just a reminder): http://wiki.meego.com/Mailing_list_guidelines#Requesting_a_New_Mailing_List Mar 08 16:28:23 * CosmoHill just compiled Intel MPI Benchmark on VS2010 using MS-MPI :) Mar 08 16:28:43 CosmoHill: nice Mar 08 16:29:16 you add the MS-MPI directories, remove Intel MPI from requirements and done Mar 08 16:29:22 sivaN900: the "developer edition" is a project that combines adaptation + UX tasks in order to come up with a usable MeeG image for the N900 Mar 08 16:29:29 first you have to import Intel's VS2008 to VS2010 Mar 08 16:29:44 this policy drives adaptation (it has a specific meaning here): http://wiki.meego.com/Core_OS_Program/Kernel_policy Mar 08 16:29:52 and shouldn't be changed to another word Mar 08 16:29:59 qgil_: the ux tasks are minute though. Mar 08 16:30:34 qgil_: so ux tasks coordinated on meego-handset if we have it as an ml ? Mar 08 16:30:49 eg a vertical Mar 08 16:31:24 sivaN900: DawnFoster has been pushing an organic growth for mailing lists and I agree this is the right approach Mar 08 16:32:13 qgil_: cool - where would be to natural pl€e for n900 meego de ux discussions ? Mar 08 16:32:16 sivaN900: I'd rather start with a arm-handset mailing list and go for more only if needed Mar 08 16:32:27 sivaN900: we do have a meego-handset wg, which is where the ux discussions should be Mar 08 16:32:46 oops wg / mailing list Mar 08 16:32:48 qgil_: makes more sense to me :) Mar 08 16:34:37 alright, then an option is to start in meego-handset and open arm-handset when needed - another option is to start with the two lists for ux/adaptation since the beginning Mar 08 16:34:47 DawnFoster: any preference? Mar 08 16:35:47 I'd be fine with this starting in meego-handset Mar 08 16:35:49 lcuk, see https://bugs.meego.com/show_activity.cgi?id=14234 Mar 08 16:36:03 unless Stskeeps needs to keep it separate for some reason. Mar 08 16:36:18 I need Stskeeps to chime in with what he needs Mar 08 16:36:29 so meego-hanset for both low level platform stuff and ux for n900 ? Mar 08 16:36:59 DawnFoster: ok, so we will start in meego-handset (it exists already, underutilized atm) and then Stskeeps sivaN900 or anybody else can propose improvements based on the real usage we are doing Mar 08 16:37:11 andre__, thanks - that does not help though, I should check if the MeeGo Handset on Intel still shows up with Windows :P Mar 08 16:37:22 haha Mar 08 16:47:55 saidinesh5: hey ! Mar 08 16:48:27 saidinesh5: great news for syncevolution fans :-) read on mls Mar 08 17:00:21 meego events meeting starting in #meego-meeting in 2 minutes. Agenda here: http://wiki.meego.com/Events/Meetings Mar 08 17:01:41 DawnFoster: Thanks for the headsup Mar 08 17:01:58 what a thread Mar 08 17:02:04 -architecture. Mar 08 17:06:37 hey timoph Mar 08 17:08:58 Texrat: o/ Mar 08 17:09:18 Texrat: thanks for the nomination. I'm thinking about it Mar 08 17:09:58 just accept timoph :P Mar 08 17:10:09 :) Mar 08 17:10:10 guy like you is needed now timoph Mar 08 17:10:38 what are you guys on about?

Mar 08 17:15:17 thanks again for help with community device program wiki Mar 08 17:15:39 jayabharath did you see emails about automating the process? Mar 08 17:29:56 qgil_, DawnFoster: i'm not heading the Developer edition work, but one thing i was wary about was that while DE is an effort that effectively contributes back to meego, we maintain own releases on top of meego.. if such a effort belongs within meego, then i would propose meego-handset for the work Mar 08 17:30:31 Stskeeps: in meego-meeting now, let¡'s chat after that Mar 08 17:30:52 qgil_: yep, am at break in polish classes - will be back in an hour or so Mar 08 17:32:54 Stskeeps: ok, ping back when you are polished :) Mar 08 17:33:11 lol Mar 08 17:33:34 haha Mar 08 17:34:46 I thought Stskeeps was shiny enough already Mar 08 17:36:17 Shiny as in Firefly? ;) Mar 08 17:36:46 shiny as in "Man that Stskeeps is so awesome he shines!" Mar 08 17:36:57 *giggles* :) Mar 08 17:36:57 no polish required Mar 08 17:37:36 DawnFoster: I forgot to ask during the topic that does sponsored travel cover attendance to the warm-up too? Mar 08 17:38:21 timoph: we'll do it for a specified number of days based on budgets and let you pick the days you want to attend Mar 08 17:38:37 we should chat with bdub_ about this later Mar 08 17:38:41 ack Mar 08 17:38:49 DawnFoster, can people choose to stay the days only and commute? Mar 08 17:38:57 I'd like to make sure we give people enough days to attend at least some warm up Mar 08 17:39:07 (can't talk about this now & run other meeting) :) Mar 08 17:39:12 DawnFoster, timoph: Noted. Mar 08 17:40:00 * timoph needs to finish his session proposal Mar 08 17:43:52 did the MeeGo admin return from his vacation BTW? Mar 08 17:44:19 mikhas, who is the meego admin?

Just saying. Mar 08 17:47:15 lcuk, huh? Mar 08 17:47:24 I think I covered all bases now Mar 08 17:47:29 bdub_, right now, I have the rest of an 18person pork roast Mar 08 17:47:44 which as tracy said, feeds 3+me Mar 08 17:48:24 bdub_, tho deep fried bacon sounds intruiging Mar 08 17:48:26 * lcuk tries it Mar 08 17:48:40 It does. Take fat, wrap it in fat, and then cook it in fat. Mar 08 17:49:15 intruiging. Mar 08 17:49:19 lcuk, here's the place: http://theeatenpath.com/2009/03/23/chicken-fried-bacon-sodolaks-country-inn-snook-tx/ Mar 08 17:50:33 lol bdub_ Mar 08 17:50:58 bdub_: are you the guy from LFS?

Mar 08 17:53:26 oh - I had a number of others floating around Mar 08 17:53:46 bdub_ told me he's been bored, so by all means load him up :D Mar 08 17:54:17 You're never bored when you have bacon.

Mar 08 17:57:34 3 hours Mar 08 17:57:50 ah, a long way to drive for a meego breakfast on Saturday :) Mar 08 17:57:56 entered a Nokia contest for sxsw package-- didn't win :( Mar 08 17:58:03 well, niot really Mar 08 17:58:13 we used to drive to Austin for weekend getaways a lot Mar 08 17:58:22 we would just come in Friday afternoon Mar 08 17:58:35 but, with my wife losing her job, I can't afford a hotel Mar 08 17:59:05 so may not make it down to Texas Linux Fest either (and I'm supposed to present) :/ Mar 08 18:02:32 DawnFoster: are you going to Mexico or Texas Mar 08 18:03:05 Texas :) Mar 08 18:03:08 Texrat, So - how is the hardware program going? Mar 08 18:03:22 DawnFoster make sure to catch the bat flight at the bridge over Town Lake Mar 08 18:03:29 just at sunset Mar 08 18:03:32 Texrat, Who is my best chance for getting ~30 complete developer kits for May right now? PandaBoard? Mar 08 18:03:44 * slaine wonders why he bothers coming to work early at all. Still here and feel like I've nothing done Mar 08 18:03:50 I've been to Austin for the past 4 years, and never made it out to see the bats Mar 08 18:03:51 take an umbrella for the guano :D Mar 08 18:03:58 ewwww Mar 08 18:04:09 not really a problem... or hasn't been for me Mar 08 18:04:11 ;) Mar 08 18:04:16 dneary: talk to orbarron about panda Mar 08 18:04:51 yes dneary, orbarron or jayabharath Mar 08 18:05:10 although that's a high number... not sure if they have that many offhand Mar 08 18:05:30 I'll be glad to help you on that Mar 08 18:05:31 their backlog at digikey is just 740 or so :) Mar 08 18:06:25 connection reset by beer... Mar 08 18:06:57 * jayabharath looks Mar 08 18:09:00 * Texrat hopes... Mar 08 18:09:14 Texrat: dneary left the room... getting 30 kits will be close to impossible... may want to check with beagleboard.. as they have better supply atm Mar 08 18:09:15 jayabharath: dave's connection just dropped, but he's looking for panda's for something meego related? Mar 08 18:09:18 ah, there he is Mar 08 18:09:37 jayabharath I had a feekign that was the case. Mar 08 18:09:42 feeling* Mar 08 18:10:10 dneary, have you seen the updated device program page yet? Mar 08 18:10:34 dneary: getting 30 kits will be close to impossible ... we are working through a huge backlog of orders atm.... you may want to ping jkridner on #beagleboard and see if they can look into beagleboards... Mar 08 18:11:13 dneary, jayabharath confirmed my suspicon abotu Pandaboard availability... may have to go with Beagleboard Mar 08 18:11:17 I expect we will have solved most of our backlog order in the next 5 weeks Mar 08 18:11:41 DawnFoster: Try to find a bar-tender who'll agree to make you a Flaming Dr. Peppers Mar 08 18:11:47 and yes, I got the notion jkridner had plenty of Beagleboards Mar 08 18:11:50 jayabharath, Just back Mar 08 18:11:55 I didn't leave, was dropped Mar 08 18:11:58 :( Mar 08 18:12:06 one probability, dneary, is that people will ahve to buddy up Mar 08 18:12:13 jayabharath: dneary mentioned May as a target though Mar 08 18:12:15 2 per davice say Mar 08 18:12:21 Texrat, No, haven't seen the updated page yet Mar 08 18:12:46 * jayabharath struggling with vanished mouse cursor... will reboot and log back in a bit Mar 08 18:12:55 jayabharath, There are all sorts of possibilities - we can make it a smaller session, we can share one kit between 2 people, so 10 kits = 20 attendees, there are options Mar 08 18:13:04 dneary updated page makes it easier to find contacts and champions: http://wiki.meego.com/Community_Office/Community_device_program Mar 08 18:13:35 Texrat, Looks like the odds of getting Snowballs for the device program is slim to none right now. Mar 08 18:14:08 pohly, Hey there! Mar 08 18:14:34 hey pohly Mar 08 18:14:42 thanks for accepting LinkedIn req ;) Mar 08 18:15:24 dneary I will continue to expand device list, but getting champions helps Mar 08 18:15:31 need one for Intel and one for Nokia Mar 08 18:15:35 "expand device list" in what direction? Mar 08 18:15:36 and more as we go Mar 08 18:15:43 ANY viable direction Mar 08 18:15:45 Have you been talking to QuIC Mar 08 18:15:49 not yet Mar 08 18:16:05 They might be interested. Do you know Mark Charlebois? Mar 08 18:16:06 tryign not to spread myself too thing Mar 08 18:16:12 no, I don't Mar 08 18:16:21 I just aproached AAVA though, waiting on response Mar 08 18:16:35 So - in summary, the best opportunity right now is TI & the BeagleBoard Mar 08 18:16:37 and will tackle one potential provider at a time Mar 08 18:16:40 yes Mar 08 18:16:46 Or we get people working on their own laptops Mar 08 18:16:47 mostly Beagleboard Mar 08 18:16:54 agreed Mar 08 18:16:58 Or we ask them to bring their Lenovos along Mar 08 18:17:07 or ExoPCs ;) Mar 08 18:17:34 crap I'm making the typos today... Mar 08 18:18:20 so dneary what do you know about Snowball availability? that was on my list Mar 08 18:19:41 Texrat, I can put you in touch with someone in ST Ericsson, but he said that they were not looking to do anything officially with MeeGo right now Mar 08 18:19:46 Linaro is still their focus Mar 08 18:20:05 ah Mar 08 18:20:20 need to work on MeeGo-Linaro synergies maybe ;) Mar 08 18:21:11 merge them into one project and call it MeLargo :D Mar 08 18:22:11 Texrat, not sure how it would help, but perhaps see who or what http://twitter.com/AlbanRampon might know who could help Mar 08 18:22:26 ty lcuk Mar 08 18:23:00 no reason to take Snowball off the list entirely... may just need to lobby real hard. Heck surely ST Ericsson can turn loose of ONE for MeeGo... Mar 08 18:23:21 he in on the dedicated #ARM side and obviously will know people from the different communities so might know who to poke for beagle/panda Mar 08 18:23:39 oh we have beagle/panda covered lcuk Mar 08 18:24:07 dneary: I'm back.. my ubuntu machine mouse cursor vanishes without heads up ;) Mar 08 18:25:05 dneary: was this for some hands on session you are planning? (could not find much detail in the logs) ... please share more info Mar 08 18:25:12 jayabharath, Yes Mar 08 18:25:26 jayabharath, Let me find a pointer... Mar 08 18:25:36 dneary: thx Mar 08 18:25:46 http://wiki.meego.com/MeeGo_Conference_Spring_2011#MeeGo_Conference_Warm-Up Mar 08 18:25:48 I am presuming for Meego Conf in may Mar 08 18:25:52 * jayabharath looks Mar 08 18:26:00 yes jayabharath Mar 08 18:26:42 jayabharath, My idea was to have a full day session where people would get set up with meego on a board + some kit, and write, test & deploy their first application from the SDK to target hardware Mar 08 18:27:01 Got cha Mar 08 18:27:05 and boards of course aren't the only issue, dneary, since they will require monitors, input devices,... Mar 08 18:27:30 or maybe just touchscreens Mar 08 18:27:30 Last year we tried to get a bunch of people using the ARM SDK but it was a bit farcicle with a lack of preparation & we overwhelmed the wiki trying to download SDKs Mar 08 18:27:33 Texrat: thats correct... power supplies & SD cards too Mar 08 18:27:48 Texrat, That's why I have been careful to talk about kits Mar 08 18:27:52 yep Mar 08 18:28:01 understood dneary Mar 08 18:28:06 just thinking out loud Mar 08 18:28:07 Texrat, I would ideally like to have all the connectors etc available Mar 08 18:28:48 jayabharath, I suggested that we could perhaps have 1 kit for 2 participants, and cap the number of participants, if it made it possible Mar 08 18:29:00 We could make the kit loaners rather than a hardware giveaway Mar 08 18:29:08 it might make more sense to focus on finished products for dev training, then have live demo of dev boards by jayabharath or other Mar 08 18:29:09 There are lots of things we might consider doing Mar 08 18:29:21 dneary: I see.. Mar 08 18:29:58 Texrat, I really want to take a C or C++ programmer from normal laptop to SDK installed & MeeGo application built & deployed (or ready to deploy) during the session Mar 08 18:30:11 I do agree that would be ideal dneary Mar 08 18:30:29 dneary: Would have wifi on the platform a must... (me thinking out aloud) Mar 08 18:30:44 The Android workshop at OSCON, for example, ran people through writing & deploying an application from scratch in 2 hours Mar 08 18:30:58 jayabharath, I was thinking about ensuring wired internet Mar 08 18:31:05 s/internet/network Mar 08 18:31:38 That way, we can do it with some switches & a portable hard drive plugged into a local computer Mar 08 18:31:43 wired is no issue.. we have some shortages of wifi modules.. and probably some boards without wifi that I can steal for this... (I will need to check) Mar 08 18:32:48 The question on 'kit' aspect - do you need us(TI) to fund that? (If so, I need to check with people who hold the $$) Mar 08 18:33:43 jayabharath, We could ask for budget from the conference Mar 08 18:33:50 Ok. Mar 08 18:34:00 But ideally we'd find one partner who would be the sponsor of the session, including kit Mar 08 18:34:32 let me do this.. I will first find out if we can get boards avaiable for this.. by end of this week and will get back with options. Then we can plan futher. Mar 08 18:34:47 I will ping you on irc once I have more info on board availability Mar 08 18:35:20 well, dammit, RIM is turning me down on one job application after another :( Mar 08 18:35:29 jayabharath, That sounds great Mar 08 18:35:40 I think I have your email already Mar 08 18:35:57 Texrat, you do NOT want a rimjob. Mar 08 18:36:00 yeah it's my name at ti.com Mar 08 18:36:15 Texrat, I hear there's a Texas based company that makes instruments... they hiring at the moment? Mar 08 18:36:16 (or maybe you do!) Mar 08 18:36:48 yes we have quite a few positions open in our OMAP business atm... Mar 08 18:36:54 dneary I worked for them years ago, and have an app in Mar 08 18:37:09 but I don't qualify for many current TI openings... :( Mar 08 18:37:16 plus it's a LONG drive from my house Mar 08 18:37:25 I will promise to forwarding it onto our recuruiting team if you need a job :) (that's the least I can do) Mar 08 18:37:29 the pay would have to be really good Mar 08 18:37:38 Texrat: you need to move closer to where the action is .. he he :) Mar 08 18:37:46 jayabharath I cannot complain about your help, thanks Mar 08 18:37:51 jayabharath, he lives in Texas Mar 08 18:37:55 and he plays an instrument! Mar 08 18:38:00 jayabharath I can't move. :( Wife refuses Mar 08 18:38:20 that's a sore subject Mar 08 18:38:24 lcuk: dont know any instruments to play... Mar 08 18:38:45 but I really loved the 7 years I worked for TI. Great company Mar 08 18:39:05 Texrat, If there's no choice, there's no choice Mar 08 18:39:18 tautology day! Mar 08 18:39:20 was told when I went to apply for other TI openings that "we won't hire you defense workers because you can't do anythign else" Mar 08 18:39:37 dneary right: I have no choice. stay or divorce Mar 08 18:39:49 That looks like a choice right there Mar 08 18:39:49 mikhas: the first rule of tautology club is the first rule... ;) Mar 08 18:40:02 that's awfully flip dneary Mar 08 18:40:08 divorce is not a casual thing Mar 08 18:40:11 I have 2 sons Mar 08 18:40:13 leinir, ha! Mar 08 18:40:15 Texrat, I agree Mar 08 18:40:20 Texrat, *grin* that hsould fire up your #tigerblood Mar 08 18:40:20 3 sons here Mar 08 18:40:23 & a wife Mar 08 18:40:34 I would GLADLY move anywhere Mar 08 18:40:48 but I formed a partnership...

DawnFoster made it clear we need to follow process on web site additions Mar 08 18:43:39 ++ qgil_ Mar 08 18:43:55 Texrat: sound good Mar 08 18:43:58 Anyway, we're way OT (and probably too personal) for the channel Mar 08 18:44:06 DE is MeeGo work Mar 08 18:44:07 good luck with your job hunting Mar 08 18:44:11 ferenc got a bit ahead of things, bless him ;) Mar 08 18:45:04 Stskeeps: Jukka (what is his nick) is also fine with this, and Dawn too - so it looks like we have the basic consensus to go ahead Mar 08 18:45:05 Texrat: the thing I wrote in a mail is just an "idea". not even a line of code is written yet ;) Mar 08 18:45:19 I know ferenc, just poking you Mar 08 18:45:22 qgil_: jukka or jukkaeklund Mar 08 18:45:23 Texrat: let's see how far Mike and his team are with their implementation Mar 08 18:45:24 Stskeeps: I already registered to meego-handset (I had missed it somehow) Mar 08 18:45:34 agreed ferenc Mar 08 18:45:43 gotta say I admire your enthusiasm for sure ;) Mar 08 18:45:45 qgil_: ok then, we have something to put on wiki then :) Mar 08 18:45:46 Texrat: but if they are not far, then I would certainly jump in. Mar 08 18:46:19 Stskeeps: I'll let jukka go first Mar 08 18:46:27 ferenc, DawnFoster appears to want a formal process that would include looking at more than one solution provider Mar 08 18:46:52 Texrat: my point is that Mike Shaver needs to pick the vendor Mar 08 18:47:00 yeah that Mar 08 18:47:02 ;) Mar 08 18:47:19 honestly, this should be pretty easy, and mike may just implement it himself Mar 08 18:47:20 I'm in alignment DawnFoster Mar 08 18:47:21 DawnFoster: so nothing stops us making the prototype I mentioned in the email Mar 08 18:47:40 ferenc: you can make a prototype if you want Mar 08 18:47:44 yes it would be fairly easy Mar 08 18:47:49 but it needs to go to Mike Shaver Mar 08 18:48:13 DawnFoster: ok Mar 08 18:48:27 ok, I have to drop offline for a while, but I'll be back on later Mar 08 18:48:49 I'm out soon too Mar 08 18:49:42 oh, andI'm looking for discussion on https://bugs.meego.com/show_bug.cgi?id=14116 Mar 08 18:49:45 <_MeeeGoBot_> Bug 14116 nor, Undecided, ---, dawn.m.foster, NEW, MeeGo equivalent to Forum Nokia Champion Mar 08 18:50:06 what the bot said Mar 08 18:50:27 hello, Mar 08 18:50:49 Texrat: let's roll this tool then :) we can continue in email, I start doing the skeleton of the web app. Mar 08 18:51:00 agreed ferenc Mar 08 18:51:08 I was going to do my part anyway ;) Mar 08 18:51:25 Texrat: we could experiment with the request dispatch. When do you think you could prepare a "test form" I asked in the email? Mar 08 18:51:29 A way to know wich Class is my micro sdhc ? Mar 08 18:52:35 qgil_: either way, i'm excited about the DE and looking forward to see the effort in practice - and many others including hackerish power users see the the benefit/potential Mar 08 18:52:52 Stskeeps: same here Mar 08 18:52:59 dneary: thiago_workshop did not think it was harsh Mar 08 18:53:15 niala1: are there any markings on the card... Mar 08 18:53:42 sivan900, cool Mar 08 18:53:47 niala1: ref: http://www.sdcard.org/developers/tech/speed_class/ (is what you should be looking for) Mar 08 18:53:49 dneary: however my aim is to create true community nurtured improvement process based on feedback and transperancy Mar 08 18:54:20 sivan900, I would suggest planning a BOF around a sore point with a concrete proposal, & getting the right people in the room Mar 08 18:54:39 I'm thinking, for example, of getting a MeeGo branding & trademark BOF going Mar 08 18:55:05 dneary: i want to ask people of the sore points when in such a bof. Mar 08 18:55:15 nobody has wetab? how can this be? :D Mar 08 18:55:15 dneary: hear of their experience Mar 08 18:55:15 dneary: sounds like a good proposal Mar 08 18:55:32 dneary I would love that Mar 08 18:56:03 later all Mar 08 18:56:07 it also helps to meet people in the flesh when its a really touchy issue Mar 08 18:56:12 Texrat, Perhaps the Collab Summit mighht be the best place for it Mar 08 18:56:18 exactly Mar 08 18:56:36 not sure I'll be attending dneary but would gladly support however I could Mar 08 18:56:58 anyway gotta bail Mar 08 18:57:05 dneary: i was amazed at people's reactions for feedback i never saw through online means. Mar 08 18:57:42 dneary: i am planning the same for desktop summit. as this has implications for any open aource project health. Mar 08 18:57:50 timeless_office: poing Mar 08 18:58:48 has anyone ever seen empathy video calling work? Mar 08 18:59:49 it seems to have several different failure modes Mar 08 19:00:01 that makes reproducing problems pretty annoying Mar 08 19:02:32 dneary: it was not complaining. it was looking at issues in the eyes and solutions were proposed in the summary. this time bof people up preferably when no other sessions and spec stuff and have a wiki writeup resource to revert to support decisions. Mar 08 19:03:33 * sivan900 needs wired net to send a proposal. Mar 08 19:04:07 does netbook have a "webcam troubleshooter" type wizard? Mar 08 19:04:17 cos i really need that right about now Mar 08 19:04:32 nope Mar 08 19:04:35 just open up cheese Mar 08 19:04:58 i opened it... got a blank grey screen Mar 08 19:05:32 i'm also losing dialogs under the UI Mar 08 19:05:57 when it pops up "X wants attention" and you click it, nothing happens, have to hide the panel to see the dialog Mar 08 19:06:13 "cheese is not responding" Mar 08 19:06:17 dneary: this is without mistake close to the ubuntu way - although for some bewildering reason everybody likes to hate ubuntu and still use it - this is what it means to "join the linux culture" Mar 08 19:06:42 ah dawn is away Mar 08 19:07:12 anyway better find wired net. laters. Mar 08 19:08:49 well imo ubuntu does the same thing wrong that nokia did with maemo - namely, do all development work in secret, and then keep the "community" around like a pet Mar 08 19:09:27 ali1234: similar to android you mean? Mar 08 19:09:44 then when individual members of the community try to engage and say "what do you want us to do?" the only answer they get is "we want you to be more like a COMMUNITY!" Mar 08 19:10:13 jayabharath: nope, because google does not try to *build* it's community in such a controlled way Mar 08 19:10:26 jayabharath: the android community is more like some stray dogs around google's bins Mar 08 19:10:47 ali1234: I see what you mean Mar 08 19:11:48 they might be starving but atleast they are free to do whatever they want Mar 08 19:13:14 actually i'm being harsh on ubuntu, they are nowhere near as bad for this as nokia was with maemo Mar 08 19:13:31 they do at least have training programs for most areas of contribution Mar 08 19:15:53 ali1234: When the webcam doesn't work for me... it's usually one of the hardware/bios buttons. (Like Fn+F5 or something). Mar 08 19:16:22 i am on ideapad Mar 08 19:16:25 ...unless of course, there's no driver. :-) Mar 08 19:16:34 Yep, me too. Mar 08 19:16:43 my webcam works better under linux than windows 7 Mar 08 19:16:47 ah fn-esc has a picture of a camera with a cross through it Mar 08 19:17:20 ah yes it works now, thanks Mar 08 19:21:24 there should be some visible feed or a better error message that "could not connect" if the cam is disabled... Mar 08 19:22:45 maybe that's not possible with the hardware though :( Mar 08 19:24:14 video call still doesn't work :( Mar 08 19:25:38 ah "xxx's software does not understand any of the videos formats supported by your computer" Mar 08 19:28:08 Has anyone used emgd with new builds of IVI? It comes up and tries to use VESA by default on my E6xx tunnel creek and when I change the x configuration to force it to use emgd I get "Xorg: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/emgd_drv.so: undefined symbol: EDID_bin_read" Mar 08 19:43:48 georgem, there are some example Xorg conf files in the EMGD distribution, sec while I find a link Mar 08 19:45:22 vgrade: IEMGD_1_5_2_GOLD_ALL_1816.zip ? Mar 08 19:50:33 no, there are now Meego EMGD packages Mar 08 19:51:50 vgrade: oh Mar 08 19:53:11 http://download.meego.com/live/Trunk:/non-oss/Trunk/i586/emgd-bin-1875-1.1.i586.rpm, you will need a recently commited IVI kernel as well Mar 08 19:53:35 vgrade: great thanks. Mar 08 19:53:42 good luck Mar 08 19:59:02 vgrade, should it work on the ideapad? Mar 08 20:04:03 vgrade: thanks, I got it working. I already had a newer version of that package installed. you were right though there were configurations in /usr/share/doc/emgd-bin-1859 and that made it work Mar 08 21:49:23 so is Harmattan really gonna be "MeeGo in name only" ? Mar 08 21:53:39 joppu: reading tea leaves is hard Mar 08 21:54:07 my question is this: Why the fuck does it even matter, considering there are much more difficult questions left to answer? Mar 08 21:54:15 seriously fellas Mar 08 21:54:21 you're being distracted by silly shit. Mar 08 21:55:07 but that seems to be the bulk of arguments in the public world, shallow, petty arguments and concerns that don't really impact the end result in any positive manner. Mar 08 22:00:10 tschakeee: that's an interesting question Mar 08 22:00:29 in theory the main reason to care is that if it's "truly meego" then there's a "safe upgrade path" for when the vendor dies Mar 08 22:00:40 if it's only "meego like", then the upgrade path is dangerous Mar 08 22:01:01 as an example, Corel made a Linux, it wasn't "debian like", it was "debian derived" Mar 08 22:01:10 yes, I remember. Mar 08 22:01:11 so I was able to upgrade from Corel Linux to a later Debian Mar 08 22:01:22 georgem, hth Mar 08 22:01:23 I could choose to keep the corel bits or discard them Mar 08 22:01:44 if Corel used debian code but rpm as a package manager Mar 08 22:02:01 then it could have been "debian like", but there would not have been an upgrade path Mar 08 22:02:26 beyond an upgrade path or community support from a wider community, it basically doesn't matter Mar 08 22:03:06 * timeless_w7ip goes to feed some code to an indexer Mar 08 22:03:16 smoku, is the ideapad, gma500? Mar 08 22:03:36 nope, the s10-3t is gma3150 Mar 08 22:03:37 vgrade, N455 Mar 08 22:03:52 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVOliDG4AAc&feature=feedlik - completely off-topic. 555 timer adding machine. Mar 08 22:04:02 (broght to mind by the 455 comment) Mar 08 22:05:32 smoku, emgd is only supposed to be for gma500 based embedded boards, but as we know a lot of oems built netbooks with it Mar 08 22:06:09 TSCHAKeee, nice video by the way Mar 08 22:06:19 vgrade: All N450 processors use GMA3150, because it's integrated into the CPU. Mar 08 22:06:28 vgrade: Ideapad has an N450. Mar 08 22:06:39 vgrade: thank you. I'm refining it even more. Mar 08 22:06:57 TSCHAKeee, care to paste a ks? Mar 08 22:10:57 any ideas where i could get Tracker 0.10.x RPMs? Mar 08 22:11:32 rgs_: if they are not in the MeeGo Core repository, they're nowhere Mar 08 22:13:08 grr Mar 08 22:13:11 * timeless_w7ip grumbles Mar 08 22:13:17 curl is being stupid Mar 08 22:13:25 vgrade: sure.

Mar 08 22:54:52 yep Mar 08 22:55:01 what version of MeeGo (lower case O) Mar 08 22:55:31 I have installed MeeGO (1.1), but when run "Update Software" it "Hans" at "Load list of software" Mar 08 22:55:42 or if open banshee music player, don't open Mar 08 22:55:43 why? Mar 08 22:55:56 "Hangs"* Mar 08 22:56:56 is it connected to the internet when you run software update? Mar 08 22:57:06 Yes, with Wi-Fi (DHCP) Mar 08 22:57:16 try "zypper update" from the command line Mar 08 22:57:35 mmh, ok wait, i'm reinstall meego Mar 08 22:57:42 and test "zypper update" Mar 08 22:58:03 is it a fresh install that is giving your problems or have you been using it for a while? Mar 08 22:58:51 Fresh Install, it's my primary installation Mar 08 22:59:14 XaToR: That Eee is pretty old, isn't it? Mar 08 22:59:30 Yes, is pretty old :/ Mar 08 22:59:39 is it an intel celeron? Mar 08 22:59:46 XaToR: From a terminal screen... if you type this command: "cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep flags" Mar 08 23:00:02 XaToR: Do you see "ssse3" ? Mar 08 23:00:15 Wait, gabrbedd, i'm reinstalling meego ;) Mar 08 23:00:25 (That's three 's', 1 'e', 1 '3') Mar 08 23:00:34 :-) Mar 08 23:00:43 Chances are that your processor is not supported. Mar 08 23:00:53 gabrbedd: you're like me, you swap from words to numbers mid-sentance Mar 08 23:01:04 XaToR: is it an Intel Celeron processor? Mar 08 23:01:17 CosmoHill: I think he's got a Celeron-M ULV... at least according to Wikipedia Mar 08 23:01:32 CosmoHill: yes, from bios Intel Celeron Mar 08 23:01:52 I'm trying to get him to say yes so I can say "that explains it, the package manager and banshee need SSSE3 to run" Mar 08 23:02:48 Yeah, but "Celeron" is hard to pin down. I've had MeeGo work just fine on a CULV. Mar 08 23:03:09 http://wiki.meego.com/Supported_Processors Mar 08 23:03:26 ...and the CULV is technically a celeron. Mar 08 23:03:33 ah, I've been proven wrong by my own wiki page Mar 08 23:04:02 gabrbedd: EEEPcs used Celeron and Atom processors, the Celeron ones don't have SSSE3 Mar 08 23:05:14 CosmoHill: Right. Mar 08 23:05:16 mmmh, install meego with Chromium or Google Chrome? Mar 08 23:05:43 doesn't matter, something will require SSSE2 and brake Mar 08 23:06:04 the google chrome one requires you to agree to a EULA Mar 08 23:06:13 XaToR: Doesn't matter which. And we're pretty sure your machine won't run MeeGo. Mar 08 23:06:38 I was thinking of a suppported device / laptop list but that would be crazy to maintain Mar 08 23:07:01 btw, do anyone in here have an AMD Fusion processor? Mar 08 23:07:10 gabrbedd: But will be supported? I do not know who put them on OS .. Mar 08 23:07:36 CosmoHill: Probably would be better for the anaconda installer to check for cpu caps. Mar 08 23:07:52 XaToR: No, it won't be. Sorry. Mar 08 23:08:10 :( Mar 08 23:08:12 CosmoHill: not yet, sadly. do want one though :/ Mar 08 23:08:18 it does support SSSE3, however Mar 08 23:08:22 XaToR: for x86 hardware, MeeGo will only support Core2, Atom, or later.
