**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Sep 22 02:59:57 2011 Sep 22 06:44:50 moin Sep 22 06:45:36 hi Sep 22 06:46:07 shr-core for pre2 should build fine I think. Just msmcommd not building Sep 22 06:46:42 by default there is no udev in my n900 image Sep 22 06:46:42 so nschle85 got udev by installing a package I guess Sep 22 06:46:42 as a dependency Sep 22 06:46:44 ah? Sep 22 06:46:44 newer gcc issues? Sep 22 06:54:34 moin Sep 22 06:55:59 I'll go bye Sep 22 07:24:09 GarthPS: try newer msmcommd SRCREV Sep 22 07:24:24 GarthPS: as I've bumped cornucopia without building pre (msmcomm) Sep 22 07:27:22 JaMa: hi , you mean to localy bump SRCREV ? Sep 22 07:33:27 trying it Sep 22 07:33:40 was 4 weeks old Sep 22 07:34:17 JaMa: hmm , do you have an idea why I h ave this Sep 22 07:34:18 OE @ ~/aurora $ . setup-env Sep 22 07:34:19 environment: TOPDIR not defined Sep 22 07:35:41 do you have TOPDIR definition in setup-env? Sep 22 07:37:43 JaMa: surely as it is the same setup-env than shr-core and for it . setup-env works so.. Sep 22 07:37:52 that is why I am a bit lost Sep 22 07:38:16 I have aurora and shr-core both in OE/ Sep 22 07:38:27 pointing to the same setup-env Sep 22 07:43:17 GarthPS: what's in ./conf/topdir.conf? Sep 22 07:44:28 TOPDIR='/home/sylvain/dev/buildhost/shr-chroot/OE/aurora' ... :/ Sep 22 07:44:40 I will check that.. thx.. Sep 22 07:46:05 SHR: 03Martin.Jansa 07shr-chroot * r1519bf574c44 10/ (82 files in 13 dirs): system upgrade Sep 22 07:47:39 JaMa: was not enought for msmcomm .. Sep 22 07:47:55 still | ../msmcomm/.libs/libmsmcomm.so: undefined reference to `fso_framework_logger_setReprDelegate' Sep 22 07:49:54 ok for the topdir was my fault.. Sep 22 07:55:16 moin Sep 22 07:55:37 moin Sep 22 08:01:20 moin Sep 22 09:41:16 good morning Sep 22 11:04:59 jivs: he's serving the pages from home. Sep 22 11:06:49 and qalee is based on FSO and QT4 (he did a version with debian and another using openembedded) Sep 22 11:46:57 leviathan: ping Sep 22 12:28:42 SHR: 03Martin.Jansa 07meta-smartphone * rf78c02ae9bf1 10/meta-shr/conf/distro/shr.conf: SHR: remove blacklist entries no longer needed and blacklist external toolchains Sep 22 12:32:30 SHR: 03Martin.Jansa 07meta-smartphone * rf78c02ae9bf1 10/meta-shr/conf/distro/shr.conf: SHR: remove blacklist entries no longer needed and blacklist external toolchains Sep 22 12:32:30 SHR: 03Martin.Jansa 07meta-smartphone * rd3773502a85e 10/meta-shr/conf/distro/shr.conf: shr: set PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/libx11-native Sep 22 12:32:40 SHR: 03Martin.Jansa 07meta-smartphone * rcdedaf37701b 10/ (4 files in 3 dirs): BSPs: switch from xserver-xorg to xserver-xf86(-dri)-lite Sep 22 12:32:40 SHR: 03Martin.Jansa 07meta-smartphone * r7b9ee6884612 10/meta-openmoko/recipes-graphics/mesa/ (mesa-dri/glamo.patch mesa-dri_7.11.bbappend): meta-openmoko: mesa-dri: add glamo support Sep 22 14:24:30 wtf http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/22/openmobile-demos-acl-for-meego-promises-100-compatibility-with/ Sep 22 14:31:43 ok, so I have a very basic aurora-image built for om-gta02. Now I need to figure out how to get bitbake to include things to make it useful :) Sep 22 14:33:03 lg_quassel: you can add simple layer like this https://gitorious.org/shr/meta-jama/trees/master Sep 22 14:33:40 JaMa: :) Sep 22 16:03:00 question about openembedded recipes - I'm new to openembedded and trying to compile dz099i, which is fairly old; the do_install part of the build puts stuff in the host's /usr/lib instead of the 'image' directory in the working path. what do I need to change to get it to go in the right place? Sep 22 16:17:39 jfthomps: do you mean in your actual host system's path? Sep 22 16:17:55 well, the chroot host system path Sep 22 16:18:49 that shouldn't happen be able to happen if you're building as a non-root user (you wouldn't do something silly/reckless like building it as root would you?) Sep 22 16:20:20 looks like /usr/lib is a symlink to /usr/lib64 which is owned by the bitbake user and I am running the bitbake commands as the bitbake user like the instructions I saw said to do Sep 22 16:20:34 but that is an interesting point Sep 22 16:21:14 I'm following the http://shr-project.org/trac/wiki/Building%20SHR guide Sep 22 16:21:29 hmmm, I guess I'm not sure since the shr-chroot doesn't work on my build server, so I created an arch chroot Sep 22 16:22:41 okay, thanks anyway - it may not really matter since I think this particular package only provides build time libraries so I may not even need an install section, just a staging one Sep 22 16:24:27 if it's a recipe supplied, I don't think it should be installing anywhere but the staging directories, if it's one you created, it /may/ be able to throw things anywhere (though it may have more sanity checks, I don't really recall how bitbake handles that) Sep 22 16:32:25 it's a recipe I'm creating Sep 22 16:38:22 you could pastebin the recipe and I (or someone else) could check to see if you're doing anything odd which may cause that Sep 22 16:41:33 http://pastebin.com/HD2Eftat Sep 22 17:06:20 jfthomps: rather than calling ./configure directly, you may want to setup things and then use oe_runconf Sep 22 17:07:18 I'd say perhaps after running ./fixunix.sh Sep 22 17:07:32 okay - I'll give that a shot Sep 22 17:10:45 yo GNUtoo Sep 22 17:12:21 hi Sep 22 17:12:40 I'm in the train so it could cut because of power || 3g range Sep 22 17:12:58 mickeyl, how are you? Sep 22 17:12:58 fine? Sep 22 17:13:07 jfthomps: if it works, you may want to rename it to do_configure_prepend and remove the oe_runconf, you may also want to see if you can do something similar with using the default do_make and do_install (perhaps using _prepend, but I'm not sure if the export CROSSCOMPILE=1 will go across functions in that way) Sep 22 17:13:30 GNUtoo: ya, everything ok so far Sep 22 17:13:51 lg_quassel: thanks, I got pulled off on something else, but I'll give that a try when I get a chance Sep 22 17:14:25 jfthomps: no worries, I'm off to lunch now anyways :) Sep 22 17:14:32 lg_quassel: openembedded looks pretty useful, I'm just still trying to figure out how it all works Sep 22 17:14:59 we must think how to go forward with reguards to freesmartphone and its consumers(distros) Sep 22 17:14:59 the other day I was thinking about the past Sep 22 17:14:59 could the past help us preventing the same errors to happend again? Sep 22 17:15:53 ok Sep 22 17:16:12 yep Sep 22 17:16:20 we really need that meeting Sep 22 17:16:27 lets try to talk morphis into taking the organizer's head Sep 22 17:16:38 or role Sep 22 17:16:41 or whatever :) Sep 22 17:21:08 btw about zaurus csl3000....is 64M of ram enough? Sep 22 17:21:08 or is it very penalizing? Sep 22 17:21:14 btw I'm not convinced that limiting the number of devices we work on is a good idea Sep 22 17:21:14 some people may think so Sep 22 17:21:15 but I'm not sure it's the issue Sep 22 17:21:16 altough maybe some kind of priorities would be better Sep 22 17:21:16 like a scheduler Sep 22 17:21:21 indeed Sep 22 17:21:28 but I'm thinking about that often.... Sep 22 17:21:32 nah, you're pretty much right. if all you have is one device, you can concentrate best Sep 22 17:21:41 we must bring something to the meeting Sep 22 17:21:41 like ideas Sep 22 17:21:43 you _got_ to make it work, not switch to another one :) Sep 22 17:21:54 yes possible Sep 22 17:22:02 but if you have only htcdream Sep 22 17:22:06 at the end you make it work Sep 22 17:22:29 but is it really worth it? Sep 22 17:22:29 I mean there are some factorisation in the work that can be done Sep 22 17:22:55 for instance fix the kenrel autoload for all machines at once... Sep 22 17:23:43 priorities work better Sep 22 17:24:02 well... from my point of view these days it's almost irrelevant what device we target. apart from the really old gta02, i think we can almost take _any_ device and try to make it 100%. on that way we will have enough obstacles to solve, let alone doing this for multiple devices. it sucks that we can't show anything 100% working to anyone, no matter what fscking device. Sep 22 17:24:31 yup Sep 22 17:25:33 leviathan: ping :) Sep 22 17:26:39 I've done a porting guide.... Sep 22 17:26:39 that should be on the topic Sep 22 17:26:39 but no one uses it Sep 22 17:26:40 some users are not good enough to use it Sep 22 17:26:41 some like morphis think they are too good to use it Sep 22 17:31:24 GNUtoo: hmm... fso or shr wiki? Sep 22 17:31:49 ahh... found it Sep 22 18:03:59 ~seen morphis Sep 22 18:04:03 morphis <~morphis@p5B2C37F1.dip.t-dialin.net> was last seen on IRC in channel #openmoko-cdevel, 2d 42m 3s ago, saying: 'bye'. Sep 22 18:04:11 did anyone work more on the n900 or is it in limbo atm? Sep 22 18:07:32 mickeyl: I got lost in fsoaudiod before my vacations and did not come back to anything after :/ Sep 22 18:08:10 mickeyl: though I think dos1|away did some things for n900 Sep 22 18:08:53 mrmoku: oki Sep 22 18:09:16 mickeyl: btw. did you already play with gta04? Sep 22 18:09:39 leviathan: PING :-D Sep 22 18:12:54 mrmoku: i just got it back this week, i had send it back for a USB hotfix. i want to give it a shot this weekend Sep 22 18:14:17 i think it would be a good opportunity to catch up with the work on oe-core Sep 22 18:14:29 great Sep 22 18:14:49 I'm trying to catch leviathan to talk about getting a kernel for gta04 into oe-core Sep 22 18:14:51 i have to do my first build with it and learn something about the layers. then pushing gta04 in our smartphone layer Sep 22 18:14:57 ah, right Sep 22 18:15:13 good plan Sep 22 18:17:41 as kind of an outsider looking in, I'd kind of echo GNUtoo's suggestion that the amount of devices "officially" supported be cut back. Have one or two devices that work 100% and then accept patches and or work on others to bring them up Sep 22 18:18:46 I think we should decide that with data Sep 22 18:18:52 losinggeneration: *nod* Sep 22 18:18:54 I mean look at what devices are worth Sep 22 18:19:10 mrmoku: i can ask for the latest git tree and config on the mailing list Sep 22 18:19:14 look at the developpers we have/are Sep 22 18:19:40 I think the main issue is bugs tough Sep 22 18:20:43 mickeyl: I think I have it in my mail archive Sep 22 18:21:07 mrmoku: ok, good. i did only use their prebuilt stuff yet, but lxde sucks ;) Sep 22 18:21:14 * mickeyl wants to see oe-core and aurora on it Sep 22 18:21:24 (so to speak) Sep 22 18:21:29 but wanted to ask him if we should go for the 3 he made booting or the older one Sep 22 18:21:53 * mrmoku wants SHR-core images fast :) Sep 22 18:24:46 GNUtoo: bugs for sure are a problem... but IMO the main problem is still the lack of planning Sep 22 18:25:03 ok Sep 22 18:25:11 planning is good Sep 22 18:25:13 maybe we need planning per devices Sep 22 18:26:05 planning should help to focus on one thing at a time to avoid jumping from here to there without achieving much Sep 22 18:26:12 full ACK Sep 22 18:26:18 full ACK too Sep 22 18:26:31 it also helps for people with shrinking times Sep 22 18:26:37 yup Sep 22 18:26:40 if we always know what to do, we can use the spare time more efficiently Sep 22 18:27:04 also an issue is that I often need to talk to people that are not there Sep 22 18:27:10 so I spend the time waiting Sep 22 18:27:12 To me it seems that if someone who wants to have bugs fixed started to actually using the device, most of the annoying bugs would be found and fixed ;) Sep 22 18:27:24 :P Sep 22 18:27:38 PaulFertser: *nod* Sep 22 18:27:40 Really, it's somewhat strange everybody's developing but nobody's using. Sep 22 18:27:44 PaulFertser, I did that for om-gta02 and for all other devices.... Sep 22 18:27:46 note the did Sep 22 18:28:00 I want to use gta02 again Sep 22 18:28:10 GNUtoo: so did I, we've fixed plenty of bugs back then, just because we needed to get it fixed :) Sep 22 18:28:12 but I need to buy a battery Sep 22 18:28:12 mine is broken Sep 22 18:28:22 GNUtoo: why do not you want to use a nokia one? Sep 22 18:28:36 GNUtoo: i have plenty of TH spre Sep 22 18:28:38 spare Sep 22 18:28:42 TH ? Sep 22 18:28:44 only few CC though Sep 22 18:28:51 PaulFertser, nokia one? Sep 22 18:28:53 n900? Sep 22 18:28:54 TH are the older ones, for 01 Sep 22 18:28:59 ahh the batter Sep 22 18:29:00 mickeyl: btw, hi :) hi, everybody :D Sep 22 18:29:02 *battery Sep 22 18:29:04 hi PaulFertser Sep 22 18:29:05 yep Sep 22 18:29:18 GNUtoo: just grab BL-6C or 5C from a local cellphone store, and be set :) Sep 22 18:29:21 it doesn't work well and I've no compatible nokia one right now Sep 22 18:29:33 ah? didn't the nokia ones had issues Sep 22 18:29:46 GNUtoo: haven't you read the battery Q&A ;) Sep 22 18:30:11 GNUtoo: i'm using a battery i bought from ebay for $3 and that's fine :) Sep 22 18:30:33 ah ok Sep 22 18:30:45 I'll re-read Sep 22 18:33:36 mickeyl: i sometimes had some strange feeling like i wanted to send a hate mail to the FIC engineer who decided to use 10k reference inside the battery instead of nokia-compatible ~60k. Luckily, i've given up hating long time ago :) Sep 22 18:34:04 PaulFertser: hehe, i can imagine. you would have to send a lot of hate mail though, if you wanted to take all the fsckups into accont... Sep 22 18:34:34 mickeyl: indeed :) hopefully, i'm all through it :) Sep 22 18:34:57 excellet Sep 22 18:34:58 nt Sep 22 18:37:39 mickeyl: what do you thing about the most promising device currently? Is it n900 or palm pre? Any future plans? Sep 22 18:38:00 I mean it'd be interesting to hear your insight about the future of this field. Sep 22 18:39:20 PaulFertser: That's a good question. Considering how sparse spare time is these days, I don't see us coming much forward, if we always fight on all layers together. Sep 22 18:39:37 i.e. i don't see the time that goes into reverse engineering as valuable Sep 22 18:39:45 it all takes too long Sep 22 18:40:18 so given that, i'd say we need to concentrate on devices where we can more or less take the lower layers for granted Sep 22 18:40:35 which is devices that use standard protocols and have a finished kernel that we can use Sep 22 18:40:54 some month ago I would have considered n900 to be such a device :/ Sep 22 18:40:55 mickeyl: but i do not see any reasonable devices at all, n900 is dead and no interest from the kernel developers puts middleware into a loosing position. Sep 22 18:41:07 indeed Sep 22 18:41:14 mickeyl: raster was telling a lot but i haven't heard anything from him for about a year :( Sep 22 18:41:25 mrmoku: yes, me too. but we really lost on modem and audio and i don't see us advancing there Sep 22 18:41:39 PaulFertser: (raster) yes, that's a sad thing as well. Sep 22 18:41:50 perhaps with the newest bada opening rumours we get something, but i'd be surprised Sep 22 18:41:53 coming back to the original question Sep 22 18:41:56 mickeyl: even if we finish those two... it will never be perfect due to unfinished stuff like power saving Sep 22 18:42:04 i also don't see reasonable off-the-shelf devices Sep 22 18:42:18 i'm afraid my last bit of hope lays on the gta04 atm. Sep 22 18:43:13 mrmoku: yes, fully true. unfortunately, but it doesn't help not facing the hard truth Sep 22 18:43:26 that's why i think we really need to meet asap Sep 22 18:43:39 consolidate work, and check whether we can find a common focus again Sep 22 18:43:43 as small as possible Sep 22 18:43:46 yup Sep 22 18:43:50 mickeyl: why didn't they want to make a really "brutal" and "ad-hoc" device with a new case and new bigger screen? I know that good case would be impossible but something that looks awful but still works would be cheap enough. No? Sep 22 18:43:57 brb Sep 22 18:44:43 PaulFertser: they want. but they are realistic. given a team of the size and the budget they have it's better to do such a project in steps. first step was the OM-beagleboard-hybrid, 2nd step is the exchange board for OM, 3rd step will be a new case Sep 22 18:44:50 who would want to really uses the devices beside me? Sep 22 18:44:50 morphis maybe Sep 22 18:44:50 note that I don't want to be alone on that Sep 22 18:44:55 because I kind of get nervous easily Sep 22 18:44:55 and could broke the device in question Sep 22 18:44:56 so I would really need help in fixing stuff Sep 22 18:44:56 basically as a phone I currently use the nexus one under replicant Sep 22 18:44:57 but I could use the om-gta02 Sep 22 18:44:58 it only need: Sep 22 18:44:58 *bluetooth Sep 22 18:44:59 *a battery Sep 22 18:45:12 GNUtoo: i want. but not the 02, that one has too much limits for me. Sep 22 18:45:23 mickeyl: i feel like they're too ambitious about the case. They want to make a "proper" contemporary case. Which is prohibitively expensive. Sep 22 18:45:55 GNUtoo: bluetooth gsm or bluetooth for music? Sep 22 18:45:57 PaulFertser: yep, it's all a matter of budget. and right now it's not a priority. Sep 22 18:45:57 PaulFertser, there is no gta01 battery in the modules in my rootfs....did they merge the driver? Sep 22 18:45:57 mickeyl, palm-pre? Sep 22 18:46:05 PaulFertser, both Sep 22 18:46:10 GNUtoo: called platform_battery now Sep 22 18:46:14 ok Sep 22 18:46:22 GNUtoo: hmm Sep 22 18:46:26 GNUtoo: support for using GSM for bluetooth in FSO is not working currently. Sep 22 18:46:38 As ophoned has bitrotted. Sep 22 18:46:40 I can fix it Sep 22 18:47:10 I was more thinking of mrmoku btw Sep 22 18:47:13 s/ophoned/that-higher-level-fso-telephony-daemon/ Sep 22 18:47:14 PaulFertser meant: As that-higher-level-fso-telephony-daemon has bitrotted. Sep 22 18:47:36 the pre at least is cheap these days, but there's still stuff missing on lower layer... and the lack of an external boot medium sucks big time Sep 22 18:48:35 but we all would need to agree on putting effort into one device Sep 22 18:48:42 otherwise it's way too fragmented :/ Sep 22 18:48:45 mickeyl: btw, do you know there's no decent free-software-supported ebook out there as well? Something's wrong with the world ;) it looks like the majority of hackers do not use phones and do not read e-books :) Sep 22 18:48:46 when asking for people to use the devices Sep 22 18:48:46 PaulFertser, for bt my biggest issue is multiplexing Sep 22 18:48:46 it cannot do multiplexing for A2DP Sep 22 18:48:59 GNUtoo: yes, i know. Sep 22 18:49:23 GNUtoo: have you tried talking in person with Takashi? Probably mailing to the alsa-devel with him CCd? Sep 22 18:49:24 PaulFertser: ya, unfortunately irix dropped the ball. too little too late. they used OE and had a hacker-friendly developer team Sep 22 18:50:19 mickeyl: tbh the only thing i really enjoy lately is OpenWrt. Great team, great results. Sep 22 18:50:53 PaulFertser: ya, very wide-spread hardware, much less RE nightmare, and very focused people Sep 22 18:50:56 mickeyl: also, i'd now choose barebox over u-boot for any given embedded project. Sep 22 18:51:35 mickeyl: yep, they're in a good position. And they're also lucky to have the most dedicated ath9k hacker in core team, that helps a lot. Sep 22 18:51:41 ok, something to take into account. although ideally i don't want to see us working on such lowlevel things Sep 22 18:51:46 PaulFertser, look at FBReader Sep 22 18:51:53 PaulFertser: (ath9k) oh yeah Sep 22 18:52:11 GNUtoo: i use it on my FR, right, but probably i'd like to have something e-ink based with a bigger screen as well. Sep 22 18:53:48 I had to play a bit with an iPad today. What a strange device, having no terminal installed by default even! Sep 22 18:53:53 hahaha Sep 22 18:53:55 :) Sep 22 18:54:19 How one can take a peek at the pppd logs there? Sep 22 18:54:30 PaulFertser: maybe it's because I never really played much with other iDevices, but the interface to the iPad feels off to me Sep 22 18:55:53 mickeyl: btw, are you an OpenWrt user yourself? After having used it for a while i consider any SOHO router that's not flashed with it to be useless :) Sep 22 18:56:49 PaulFertser: i used to use openwrt for a long time, then i switched to tomato. and just recently i moved to an asus AP that's not supported yet Sep 22 18:57:32 PaulFertser: fairly unrelated because it's not open source, where I work, we use a lot of MikroTik RouterOS boxes (couple hundred I think) Sep 22 18:58:06 losinggeneration: but that's RouterOS, not OpenWrt. Professional-grade hardware, but the OS is not nearly as cool and flexible afaict. Sep 22 18:58:43 mickeyl: what a funny twist, i'd never buy an unsupported router unless i knew there're good chances i can add support for it in a reasonable timeframe ;) Sep 22 18:59:00 losinggeneration: i'll play with a mikrotik tomorrow btw Sep 22 18:59:07 cool, probably not, salable, I think we have a few hundred users on some of the boxes Sep 22 19:00:04 losinggeneration: what do you mean? Sep 22 19:00:30 I work at an ISP that provides internet specifically to large apartment complexes Sep 22 19:00:54 GNUtoo: fixing fsophoned? Sep 22 19:01:10 losinggeneration: do you mean RouterOS is not using ath9k or hostapd or what? Sep 22 19:01:46 I mean RouterOS isn't as cool as OpenWrt, but it seems to scale pretty well Sep 22 19:02:02 losinggeneration: what makes it scale that well then? Sep 22 19:02:49 losinggeneration: isn't it the same Linux kernel with the same drivers and almost standard userspace? Sep 22 19:03:06 With some strange custom scripting facilities, heh? Sep 22 19:04:20 they use a fairly non-standard userspace from what I can tell, but and might be even doing some strangeness with binary userspace blobs for the specific hardware that they support (not totally sure since I typically don't work directly with the boxes) Sep 22 19:04:39 I wonder where did ofono go, they were telling me they're about to be used on millions of devices. Sep 22 19:04:56 losinggeneration: well, your point is moot then, sorry ;) Sep 22 19:05:13 N9 isn't using ofono? :D Sep 22 19:05:23 N9 is eating shit Sep 22 19:05:28 PaulFertser: that was before the Nokia move ;) Sep 22 19:05:28 I wasn't making a point PaulFertser, just a statement ;) Sep 22 19:05:39 I mean N9's users do. They're screwed with DRM afaict. Sep 22 19:06:07 dos1: and yes, they're not using ofono as far as i have heard. Sep 22 19:06:16 mrmoku, ??? Sep 22 19:06:16 before beeing disconnected I just want to report that: Sep 22 19:06:16 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Sep 21 08:48 device -> ../../../platform_battery Sep 22 19:06:17 in /sys/class/power_supply/battery Sep 22 19:06:18 lol Sep 22 19:06:19 I used openwrt before switching to an x86 with trisquel Sep 22 19:06:28 20:44 < GNUtoo> I was more thinking of mrmoku btw Sep 22 19:06:43 and dos1 Sep 22 19:06:44 GNUtoo: what's wrong with that platform_battery? Is it not working for you? Sep 22 19:06:47 basically SHR devs Sep 22 19:06:56 PaulFertser, quite the countrary: Sep 22 19:06:59 it works out of the box Sep 22 19:07:02 nothing to change Sep 22 19:07:23 GNUtoo: that's to be expected ;) Sep 22 19:09:06 GNUtoo: I still fail to understand... talking about using devices then? Sep 22 19:09:32 yes like using as everyday phone Sep 22 19:09:37 It sounds like GNUtoo implies you and dos1 are to grab your gta02s and start using them day-to-day :))) Sep 22 19:09:57 I was using my gta02 as everyday phone untill the n900 hit me :/ Sep 22 19:10:05 Right in the head ;) Sep 22 19:10:11 I can't use Palm Pre as I don't have one Sep 22 19:10:14 PaulFertser: indeed :P Sep 22 19:10:16 mrmoku++ Sep 22 19:10:39 not necessarly gta01 Sep 22 19:10:40 if only GTA02 has better form factor :( Sep 22 19:10:46 GNUtoo: for me the two options would probably be n900 or gta04 Sep 22 19:11:06 oops Sep 22 19:11:06 not necessarly gta02 Sep 22 19:11:06 but any device supported by SHR Sep 22 19:11:08 ok nice Sep 22 19:11:09 or better performance Sep 22 19:11:26 at least one of them would be ok Sep 22 19:11:31 so i'm looking at gta04 too Sep 22 19:11:36 when gta04 hits me I want have gta02 anymore :/ Sep 22 19:11:42 dos1: they say qtmoko works on gta02 considerably fast. Sep 22 19:11:52 mrmoku, pick n900 right now Sep 22 19:11:56 well, if it's the devices... the pre is dead cheap. if we were to chose it, i'd offer to sponsor a bunch of used ones Sep 22 19:12:04 there is sound quality and sms to fix Sep 22 19:12:11 PaulFertser: but i won't develop for SHR on qtmoko ;) Sep 22 19:13:19 mickeyl: what does dead cheap mean in numbers? Sep 22 19:13:32 50E Sep 22 19:13:45 ya, used pre goe for ~50E on ebay Sep 22 19:13:47 max Sep 22 19:13:49 sometimes less Sep 22 19:13:49 wow, that's actually really dead cheap :P Sep 22 19:13:55 dos1: if qtmoko is fast, SHR can be as fast too ;) Sep 22 19:13:59 cheaper than htcdream Sep 22 19:14:09 PaulFertser: sure Sep 22 19:14:18 PaulFertser: but still, it's muuuuuch slower than n900 for example Sep 22 19:14:28 both graphics and CPU Sep 22 19:14:37 dos1: n900 is not an option for me as it doesn't work at all. _at_all_ Sep 22 19:15:00 yup Sep 22 19:15:02 * mrmoku started to enjoy having the office number ring on the n900 via voip Sep 22 19:15:32 for me n900 doesn't work either Sep 22 19:15:37 htcdream is unusable Sep 22 19:15:45 rest the freerunner with bluetooth Sep 22 19:15:47 mickeyl: I'm still thinking about telepathy Sep 22 19:16:24 mrmoku: ok, why not. if it works, one thing less to worry about. "Just" the glue to do Sep 22 19:16:29 and what would be the better aproach Sep 22 19:16:47 write a fso telepathy backend and do gsm via telepathy too Sep 22 19:16:52 i'm afraid that it would be another mammooth that we would lose our focus in Sep 22 19:16:54 or just integrate it for voip Sep 22 19:17:04 yeah, right Sep 22 19:17:36 ah i see what you mean. fso telepathy backend and "just" the dialer using telepahty Sep 22 19:17:41 yup Sep 22 19:17:57 that would sound interesting as well Sep 22 19:18:36 yep, that could be great Sep 22 19:18:48 one could use any telepathy frontend then Sep 22 19:19:36 mrmoku: and our frontend could benefit from every other telepathy backend too Sep 22 19:19:42 indeed Sep 22 19:19:52 voip, jabber, other ims... Sep 22 19:21:59 telephony doesn't even work correctly on n900.... Sep 22 19:22:05 If only i could use my n900... FR's on-screen keyboard and small screen is such a pain for any "involving" activities (such as ssh, jabber, irc...) Sep 22 19:23:31 GNUtoo: to me it seems like getting telephony work is not that hard if e.g. morphis or some other low-level hacker could give it some love. But total lack of upstream interest in getting proper power-saving for the machine is killing my hope :/ Sep 22 19:23:33 PaulFertser, what doesn't work for you in n900? Sep 22 19:23:33 PaulFertser: we could need a talented, russion n900 kernel hacker :-) Sep 22 19:23:44 s/russion/russian/ Sep 22 19:23:44 mrmoku meant: PaulFertser: we could need a talented, russian n900 kernel hacker :-) Sep 22 19:23:58 mrmoku, like alex[sp3dev] ? Sep 22 19:24:03 GNUtoo: nothing. I've booted SHR once, but couldn't imagine how to actually use it in my life. Sep 22 19:24:09 GNUtoo: like PaulFertser :P Sep 22 19:24:45 mrmoku: unfortunately, i'm not focused enough to really make something important with n900 kernel-wise :( if even TI guys fail to bring that to sanity in their omap tree... Sep 22 19:24:57 ok Sep 22 19:24:57 I didn't read carefully as usual Sep 22 19:24:57 I tought like another talented etc.... Sep 22 19:25:14 PaulFertser: yeah, TI guys are our hope... and even quite active these days Sep 22 19:25:32 mrmoku: 2 years late they are. Fuckers :/ Sep 22 19:25:38 hehe :P Sep 22 19:25:56 better late than never... we're late too :) Sep 22 19:26:17 mrmoku: you're not paid for your great effort, and they are. Sep 22 19:26:36 sigh the status is not great on our side either Sep 22 19:26:37 right, I forgot that little difference ;) Sep 22 19:26:55 for instance on om-gta02 most patches are done by people really wanting to use the device Sep 22 19:27:12 GNUtoo: really, probably i could try to help with telephony on n900, i think i could do that. But what the difference will it make if there's no decent kernel? Sep 22 19:28:31 like unknown people on the mailing list Sep 22 19:28:31 for instance toughscreen patch etc... Sep 22 19:28:31 * GNUtoo tried really hard to use the devices but the other people were not that helping Sep 22 19:28:32 because everyone got involved in some real life thing Sep 22 19:28:52 PaulFertser, hmmm maybe try to revert to 2.6.28? Sep 22 19:28:56 Well, i'm still using my gta02. Sep 22 19:29:29 GNUtoo: nokia's 2.6.28 shit is a dead-end, i see no point in talking about that... Sep 22 19:29:32 what about meego's kernels? Sep 22 19:29:32 what is not decent? Sep 22 19:29:32 beside acceleromteter Sep 22 19:29:32 wifi seem ok Sep 22 19:31:02 GNUtoo: i've heard they suck, and nobody's using them. And that power-saving is not working, and that alsa is broken etc. Isn't it so? Sep 22 19:31:32 Ah, and no accelerated display driver at all? Sep 22 19:32:40 I mean probably meego's kernel is fine for some WEP cracking but that's too specific, and not generally useful. Sep 22 19:33:04 I'd like to be proven wrong of course. Sep 22 19:33:38 DocScrutinizer, said it was way better than the mainline one for power consumation Sep 22 19:33:54 I bet he's still using 2.6.28 though ;) Sep 22 19:35:51 GNUtoo: btw, meego never had a kernel hacker in team afaict, so most probably their kernel is almost plain omap-tree one. Sep 22 19:36:22 ah? Sep 22 19:36:26 I tought they had some Sep 22 19:37:02 * mrmoku thought so too Sep 22 19:38:05 https://meego.gitorious.org/meego-device-adaptation/n900_kernel <- doesn't look to have seen much in the way of commits Sep 22 19:40:20 losinggeneration: git://gitorious.org/nokia-n900-kernel/nokia-n900-kernel.git Sep 22 19:40:58 mrmoku: yes, that's what we're looking at :) Sep 22 19:41:24 0022 mok@gonzales[pts/7]:~/src/openmoko/kernel-fso-> git fetch nokia Sep 22 19:41:24 fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly Sep 22 19:41:26 hmm Sep 22 19:42:50 heh... seems to have vanished... just like the modemwireless API page :/ Sep 22 19:43:13 they have a 3.0 kenrel Sep 22 19:43:13 but they keep changing the place where they develop Sep 22 19:43:14 first gitorious 2.6.3x Sep 22 19:43:15 then they changed to a patch based thing Sep 22 19:43:16 then they're back again in gitorious Sep 22 19:43:51 http://meego.gitorious.org/meego-device-adaptation/n900_kernel/commits/n9xx-v3.0-wip Sep 22 19:44:28 Nothing really reasonable or important on top of the 3.0. And do not forget about lack of the GPU driver. :/ Sep 22 19:44:30 keep the modemwireless API preciously Sep 22 19:45:33 * GNUtoo doesn't care about non-free GPU Sep 22 19:45:34 and their GPU driver is kind of a pass-trough driver Sep 22 19:46:08 I thought their GPU driver was a userspace binary blob because it was a PVR chip Sep 22 19:46:44 GPU == SGX Sep 22 19:47:17 yes it is Sep 22 19:47:40 yep, it is indeed a PowerVR SGX Sep 22 19:47:45 sgx == pvr == ... Sep 22 19:47:45 but to make the binary blob work they need a pass-trough kernel driver Sep 22 19:47:45 basically a driver that accept any commands Sep 22 19:47:52 _userspace blob_ . Makes it non-free device. When some shit's running on a dedicated CPU, well, that's bad but not too bad. When it's in your userspace, i guess i'm out. My gta02 has no such apps. Sep 22 19:48:29 I mean, that'd be going backwards. Sep 22 19:48:47 PaulFertser: i don't use any binary blobs for GPU Sep 22 19:48:57 PaulFertser: well, if you can use GTA02 Sep 22 19:49:08 PaulFertser: then i don't think you need acceleration on N900 Sep 22 19:49:16 :P Sep 22 19:49:19 PaulFertser: as even without it it's much faster :P Sep 22 19:49:40 dos1: you got me ;) Sep 22 19:50:33 hmm, looks like the Palm Pre and Pre 2 both use the SGX GPU also Sep 22 19:50:34 ;) Sep 22 19:51:35 dos1: i can use gta02 because i learnt to stay calm and accepting. A nice skill in fact, i used to get mad easily back in the days. Sep 22 19:52:00 AFAIK the only non-free thing in N900 which you can't easly replace is NOLO bootloader Sep 22 19:52:14 indeed but the 3d is not really needed Sep 22 19:52:14 xf86-video-omapfb is good enough Sep 22 19:52:14 it even have XV!!! Sep 22 19:52:16 PaulFertser, in one hand you don't want non-free stuff, on the other hand you want the GPU and on the third hand you prefer the freerunner that is way slower.... Sep 22 19:52:17 * GNUtoo is lost Sep 22 19:52:17 or.... Sep 22 19:52:18 I mean, that'd be going backwards. Sep 22 19:52:19 what did you refer to? Sep 22 19:52:21 yes Sep 22 19:52:21 a lot of stuff have sgx nowadays Sep 22 19:52:45 GNUtoo: using a non-free graphics driver. But you say it supports accelerated XV? Sep 22 19:52:58 PaulFertser: yep, i was accepting gta02 speed too Sep 22 19:53:15 PaulFertser: but now after i quite got used to n900 i think it would be hard to return :( Sep 22 19:53:26 hmm, I kind of want a Pre now (if only I had money to burn) Sep 22 19:53:37 which is sad, cause somewhere inside me i still love this device ;) Sep 22 19:53:51 GNUtoo: (going backwards) currently i'm not using blobs. If i'd start using n900 i'd like to have accelerated XV but without proprietary drivers. Sep 22 19:54:24 omapfb supports that Sep 22 19:54:24 no non-free stuff needed for that Sep 22 19:54:25 it has some restrictions Sep 22 19:54:25 for instance I don't know why but I couldn't do xv for more than the screen size Sep 22 19:54:31 but maybe it was because I didn't allocate enough mem Sep 22 19:54:37 PaulFertser: XV is already accelerated using neon AFAIK Sep 22 19:54:51 or something else Sep 22 19:54:54 with free driver Sep 22 19:55:30 that's not everything what you can get from this device, but i think it's enough Sep 22 19:55:38 and for someone used to gta02 it's for sure enough :D Sep 22 19:55:45 dos1: hm, funny. So they basically manage to get decent tearless playback on plain FB and get enough performance by using neon for the tasks traditionally done by the GPU? Sep 22 19:55:50 dos1, ah? Sep 22 19:55:50 isn't it in xf86-video-omapfb? Sep 22 19:55:50 I tough it was hardware somehow Sep 22 19:55:50 PaulFertser, for not using blobs I understand and it's great Sep 22 19:55:55 PaulFertser, also note that the n900 has some issues: Sep 22 19:56:03 *signed bootloader + non-free bootloader Sep 22 19:56:08 *gps attached to the modem Sep 22 19:56:24 GNUtoo, PaulFertser: well, dunno, i don't know details Sep 22 19:56:55 i just know there is some XV acceleration without using any SGX blobs at all Sep 22 19:57:10 GNUtoo: bootloader is not running after the system is booted, so i can accept that i think. Sep 22 19:58:27 GNUtoo: is the modem firmware signed and drm'd as well? If not, disabling rrlp would be reasonably doable. Sep 22 19:59:45 about videos playing mp4 is possible Sep 22 19:59:52 h264 is kind of problematic tough Sep 22 20:00:28 GNUtoo: ah, and another thing about n900 is that its gps performance sucks, most probably due to some stupid thing done by the nokia hw devs (and probably that's a bug dating back to n810!). Sep 22 20:00:39 ok Sep 22 20:02:32 PaulFertser: on my vacation I used n900 gps _without_ internet connection... and yeah... that sucks balls :P Sep 22 20:03:14 anybody tryied Nokia N9 ? Sep 22 20:03:30 nop Sep 22 20:03:50 Yoram, doesn't n9 have aegis issues? Sep 22 20:04:07 like not beeing able to modify the software that runs on it Sep 22 20:04:39 IO have no idea Sep 22 20:04:47 ok Sep 22 20:07:57 I start thinking about moving from my neo to something newer, N900 is in the way of becoming old (nice device, however), GTA04 is not there yet, so I'm checking Sep 22 20:08:46 I event tryied to find HP pre 3, but it's like it was never existed Sep 22 20:10:25 and it's really important to me to have at list free software, any recomendations ? Sep 22 20:18:23 Yoram: :) exactly what we were talking about. Sep 22 20:19:01 Yoram: and... probably a used palm pre is the most reasonable solution if you're a hardcore user. Sep 22 20:20:03 Yoram: basically, the best device you can actually use as daily cellphone with free software is still gta02... Sep 22 20:20:07 I have no problem to compile software for my SHR, lately I started to look at kernel issues, does that make me a hardcore user ? Sep 22 20:20:44 Yoram: you also have to tolerate inability to use it every now and then ;) Sep 22 20:21:07 that I have with shr-core on GTA)2 Sep 22 20:21:17 so I use QtMoko as fallback Sep 22 20:24:23 so I have to continue beaving like north-koria - having less and disconnecting from the world in order to convince myself that I have more ? Sep 22 20:24:34 :) Sep 22 20:25:08 Yoram: less is more Sep 22 20:25:28 Yes, I know that, but still... Sep 22 20:25:51 Consumer society goes nowhere anyway. Sep 22 20:26:21 Yoram, check fso wiki, hardware section Sep 22 20:26:36 I will Sep 22 20:26:42 there is a table of supported devices Sep 22 20:27:16 I'll go bye Sep 22 20:29:29 Yoram: the difference is that north korea's way takes freedom away while downgrading provides one with more. Sep 22 20:30:17 s/downgrading/downshifting/ Sep 22 20:30:18 PaulFertser meant: Yoram: the difference is that north korea's way takes freedom away while downshifting provides one with more. Sep 22 20:30:32 yes, that is the situation now, but the original goal was to have freedom from imperialistic domination Sep 22 20:30:55 but I gave thios example as joke, don;t take it too hard... Sep 22 20:32:05 Yoram: every joke contains (just) part of a joke. Sep 22 20:32:09 PaulFertser: I was making fun of myself... Sep 22 20:33:22 of how I sometimes don;t want my children to see iphone or android so they will not think that the outside world it better :) Sep 22 20:34:46 PaulFertser: thoughts I have since I was in lecture of stallman.... Sep 22 20:35:06 Yoram: i was just trying to use your words as a occassion to continuing my propaganda ;) Sep 22 20:35:48 PaulFertser: great, keep doing that, your propaganda is correct :) Sep 22 20:36:51 Yoram: i guess if i had children they wouldn't think the outside world is better after seeing an iphone. They'd think it's sick ;) Sep 22 20:37:29 PaulFertser: would be children with a good sense for the real world then ;) Sep 22 20:38:00 mrmoku: what do yours think about the world? ;) Sep 22 20:38:42 PaulFertser: they hate me because they can't play windows games :-P Sep 22 20:39:59 mrmoku: my children have a lot of fun with Gnu/Linux desktop and think it's great, but smartphone is more problematic... Sep 22 20:41:10 mrmoku: My sun has n900 and he only started to like it after I helped him to install Heroes Of Sparta :) Sep 22 20:41:26 Yoram: was just kidding... they enjoy Supertux and Supertuxkart a lot :) Sep 22 20:42:13 anyway... talking about kids reminds me that I better go to bed... got to get up early :P Sep 22 20:42:27 gnight all and have fun Sep 22 20:42:31 mrmoku: we play wesnoth, xmoto, supertux, so many exuses to not do homework :) Sep 22 20:42:46 mrmoku: good nioght Sep 22 20:42:54 mrmoku: :))) Sep 22 20:42:54 Time to sleep for me. Good night, folks, was a pleasure talking to you again. Sep 22 21:15:15 meegoCE-n900 kernel is probably plain mainline, and could use some ports of the nokia patches done for 2.6.28, as they use some really retarded stuff that barely matches the hw, driver wise (see lis3lv02.ko). Alsa and wifi and stuff should work though, also I think stskeeps ported some GPU driver Sep 22 21:16:29 for the kernel hackers I think they actually had none. Sep 22 21:17:13 what's worse than that though is the fact that their whole middleware is a diletantic mess Sep 22 21:19:04 it'S even exaggerated to talk about middleware at all. There's for instance sensorfwd or sth like that, that mostly does polling it seems, the system architects seem to have no idea about event/IRQ driven architecture Sep 22 21:21:03 alas APIs aren't fixable with a patch. When (made up example) accelerometer always immediately returns with the recent values for X, Y, Z rather that e.g block on read until something *changes*, then how'd you possibly fix that? Sep 22 21:33:09 JaMa, hi, I'm not able to find meta-openembedded patchwork, I wanted to have a look at the lightmediascanner recipe. Sep 22 21:36:01 pespin: http://patches.openembedded.org/ Sep 22 21:36:35 JaMa, there's no meta-oe there :S Sep 22 21:37:35 pespin: yes, but here is your patch :) http://patches.openembedded.org/patch/10127/ Sep 22 21:37:41 just under "oe" Sep 22 21:38:17 JaMa, ah ok ;) thanks! it's difficult o find things there, it seems there's no Search form neither >.< Sep 22 21:39:09 pespin: but those 3 sections are just for separate MLs not split by [meta-foo] in subject Sep 22 21:39:22 so everything sent to oe-devel ML will end in "oe" section Sep 22 21:39:43 and I usually sort by submitter and mark mine patches and patches from people I know :) Sep 22 21:39:45 hmm ok Sep 22 21:40:06 and it seems that thes answers to my patch there doesn't show up in my mail in gmal... Sep 22 21:40:47 that's why I didn't notice the answers Sep 22 21:40:47 maybe spam folder? Sep 22 21:41:04 * JaMa is getting more and more OE related emails there lately :/ Sep 22 21:42:53 omg, I have lots of oe messages there, that's true Sep 22 22:03:12 hmm too tired to check all this oe recipes stuff now, I guess I'll do it this weekend Sep 22 22:12:40 <[Rui]> If anyone here is thinking of going to FOSDEM 2012, now's the time to buy plane tickets and book hotel rooms (a lot cheaper right now). Sep 22 22:25:07 I'll tell my sponsor about it, as soon as I found one ;-) Sep 22 22:34:18 [Rui], are you going this year? I think I'll go, I went last year and I liked it :) Sep 22 22:34:47 <[Rui]> pespin: I just *love* the mood Sep 22 22:35:14 <[Rui]> pespin: I always have a mild depression as I return (sad to go back), but the energies are definitely renewed :) Sep 22 22:35:17 if we are enough of us there we could maybe ask for some hack room or similar? Sep 22 22:35:35 <[Rui]> the sooner we set up something, the better Sep 22 22:36:25 I'd like to find a cheapr hotel this year though, last year's was too expensive for me :P Sep 22 22:36:43 <[Rui]> I'm staying from 1st to 6th of February Sep 22 22:36:55 <[Rui]> 393€ Sep 22 22:36:56 anyway I didn't spend much time in the hotel, so I don't need lots of comfy stuff Sep 22 22:37:10 <[Rui]> 143 for the flight Sep 22 22:37:21 <[Rui]> got a cheaper flight, but a better hotel this time Sep 22 22:37:37 [Rui], 393 with or without flight? Sep 22 22:37:43 <[Rui]> without Sep 22 22:37:55 <[Rui]> so just over 500€ all Sep 22 22:38:09 that's a lot for me hehe Sep 22 22:38:12 * pespin poor student Sep 22 22:39:20 <[Rui]> it's a lot for me too, I lived without much in the way of resources for long enough time to not forge tthe scale, but being *very* close to the city center is definitely a must. Sep 22 22:45:34 <[Rui]> You save a lot on moving around (only need a week's value of bus+subway), lot's of eating choices (even not counting with tourist traps) then you have the bars for socializing with other fosdem goers, etc... Sep 22 22:45:52 <[Rui]> I need a few more days as I'm sure to have a few meetings in the preceeding days. Sep 22 22:51:45 nice, hope to see you there if I finally manage to go :) Sep 22 22:58:39 <[Rui]> pespin: go, it's awesome. but the quicker you decide and buy, the better (price-wise) **** ENDING LOGGING AT Fri Sep 23 02:59:56 2011
