**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri Aug 29 02:59:58 2008 Aug 29 03:23:52 http://www.develop-one.net/blog/2008/08/27/HugADeveloper.aspx Aug 29 03:23:57 * moontiger laughs Aug 29 04:12:49 someone has eveonlinetheme? Aug 29 04:16:40 Has eve theme released any files yet? Aug 29 05:47:37 Hi Aug 29 06:58:38 moo Aug 29 06:58:59 ello Aug 29 06:59:17 * qwerty12 is annoyed he missed y/day's eastenders >.<. Off to rapidshare it is... Aug 29 06:59:25 qwerrty Aug 29 06:59:46 rst338gh Aug 29 07:00:06 * RST38h is about to experience the joys of american air travel in a few hours Aug 29 07:00:56 (wondering how he will be fucked this time) Aug 29 07:04:01 Oooh Aug 29 07:04:06 The Beagle's arrived at home. Aug 29 07:05:29 qwerty: any luck with qalculate btw? Aug 29 07:06:24 RST38h: I haven't worked on it yet, I got pissed off when I forgot to compile libgmp3 and that library that takes ages to compile can use libgmp3 Aug 29 07:06:36 The name libgmp3 is pretty misleading... Aug 29 07:07:26 I'll start work on it again after I mess around with linux-omap Aug 29 07:07:42 (which, knowing me, won't be long) Aug 29 07:11:24 weird...is it an mp3 decoder? Aug 29 07:12:01 No, which is why I got annoyed that I didn't compile it :D Aug 29 07:12:03 "GNU MP is a programmer's library for arbitrary precision arithmetic (ie, a bignum package). It can operate on signed integer, rational, and floating point numeric types. " Aug 29 07:12:35 Wait, it was a surprise that gmp is gmp? Aug 29 07:12:58 oh Aug 29 07:13:11 XTL: Well, with my habits, I read that as libg mp3 :P Aug 29 07:13:12 it is yet another bignum lib Aug 29 07:13:30 Right... Aug 29 07:13:41 It is The yet another bignum lib :) Aug 29 07:13:46 can fail to compile for a variety of reasons Aug 29 07:14:21 most likely - has got some x86 specific optimizations Aug 29 07:14:37 I'm sure it's been ported but I think it's a pretty fickle library Aug 29 07:14:55 ported a lot, I mean. Not specifically here Aug 29 07:15:16 Yeah, it's on quite a lot of archs Aug 29 07:35:25 oh. what just happend? apt-get upgrade did loads of changes Aug 29 07:35:58 apt-get upgrade isn't recommended. . . . Aug 29 07:36:07 GeneralAntilles: what is then? Aug 29 07:36:20 Application manager Aug 29 07:36:32 upgrade can hose the system with certain repositories. Aug 29 07:36:43 and can mess up SSU updates right now. Aug 29 07:37:14 might be, but doing things with application manager is slow Aug 29 07:37:32 or can it be done from the command line? Aug 29 07:37:55 "it" Aug 29 07:38:04 Don't apt-get upgrade unless you know what you're doing. Aug 29 07:38:23 and: oh. what just happend? apt-get upgrade did loads of changes Aug 29 07:38:24 upgrade the packages Aug 29 07:38:28 Tells me you don't know enough. Aug 29 07:39:22 GeneralAntilles: well, normally there is only a few packages which change. now there was a lot of changes. including some wimax stuff. I just wondered if there has been some major changes on the maemo lately Aug 29 07:39:37 An SSU update was pushed a few weeks ago. Aug 29 07:41:53 that might be the reason Aug 29 07:42:00 so. thanks for the information :) Aug 29 07:42:18 Which can easily hose your system if you install without osso-software-version-rx*4 Aug 29 07:46:16 seems to be ok. Aug 29 07:46:36 still eating all the available memory, but I guess that can not be avoided Aug 29 07:46:50 Morning, all Aug 29 07:47:13 It can depend on the repo's you have. Chinook repo + SDK repo = one way ticket to apt hell Aug 29 07:47:17 Morning Jaffa Aug 29 07:47:33 s/repo's/repositories Aug 29 07:48:34 Something tells me partitioning this SD card for the Beagle on this machine isn't gonna work out. Aug 29 07:49:25 is there some recommended way to disable /usr/sbin/browserd -d -i microb at the startup? Aug 29 07:49:49 Sure, if you want to be browserless ;) Aug 29 07:49:51 I suppose that's the preload for web-browser engine? Aug 29 07:50:01 No, it basically *is* the engine Aug 29 07:50:16 I mean. I quite rarely use browser with the n810. Aug 29 07:51:13 qwerty12, https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3648#c3 Aug 29 07:51:16 oilink: there is Aug 29 07:51:47 Thanks GeneralAntilles Aug 29 07:52:11 RST38h: ? Aug 29 07:52:18 I have had a discussion with microb developer and after being pushed around a bit he told me the way Aug 29 07:52:34 * GeneralAntilles rolleyes Aug 29 07:53:42 RST38h: please share with us Aug 29 07:54:25 wait, gprs here Aug 29 07:55:24 Just rename the tablet-browser-daemon file in /etc/rc2 and rc5 Aug 29 07:55:44 wait, let me check what he suggested Aug 29 07:56:30 "remove link from /etc/rc2.d" Aug 29 07:56:49 i.e. same thing :) Aug 29 07:57:02 GeneralAntilles: I'm torn - it's really *really* good to have the Nokia people actually commenting in the public Bugzilla (even if you've pointed out they're still refering to NB bugs in changelogs), but the content of that comment shows that the decision makers just aren't getting how to work openly. Aug 29 07:57:21 ok. thanks. I'll try that one Aug 29 07:59:35 The interesting thing about that comment is that it actually points to Nokia not really being capable of putting out smaller maintenance updates effectively. Aug 29 08:00:57 Good point. All their processes are still geared around "big" releases. Aug 29 08:01:48 and will be Aug 29 08:02:01 can you guess why?;) Aug 29 08:02:19 I don't understand how an SSU update warrants a new SDK release. It's like Nokia releasing a FIASCO image when there is a SSU update and making you flash that first. Aug 29 08:02:48 and that I can also explain Aug 29 08:06:25 they operate in terms of releases for support reasons Aug 29 08:06:40 Yep. Aug 29 08:07:14 hmm. not starting browser-daemon is not yet perfect solution. when starting browser it says 'updating' and stays in that condition. Aug 29 08:07:14 when some punter comes to the service center and complains that his tablet does not work they have to be absolutely sure he has got a known config Aug 29 08:07:44 seems like need to alter the browser starting script that it will kick the browser-daemon up as well Aug 29 08:07:50 RST38h: indeed, but the first thing they'll do at the service centre (assuming they ever /do/ deal with tablets) is reflash it. Aug 29 08:07:52 they normally insure it with firmware updates Aug 29 08:08:17 Jaffa: not necessarily I think Aug 29 08:08:50 From a customer service PoV, they won't want to kill the user's data. Aug 29 08:08:56 Jaffa: and then they may get complaints about "software degraded" if they overwrite punters config Aug 29 08:09:14 RST38h: "degraded"? Aug 29 08:09:29 users data is one but there is also a set of apps and app versions user has Aug 29 08:10:16 Jaffa: well, let us say you have booapp version 10.1 installed and it boos at startup Aug 29 08:10:33 they reflash to 10.1 which does not boo on startup Aug 29 08:10:53 customer complains "it has degraded" Aug 29 08:11:04 s/10.1/10.0/ Aug 29 08:11:40 * GeneralAntilles wants booapp. Aug 29 08:11:49 in other words they purposely avoid versioning hell with these SSUs and sdks tied to each ssu Aug 29 08:12:03 brrrrrrrrap Aug 29 08:13:40 RST38h: I see your point, but if booapp is part of the system s/w then either a) service centre should reflash and update before returning device; or b) customer will get device back with the flashing orange [!] and upgrade themselves. Aug 29 08:14:29 Jaffa: correct except there still remains a problem that his tablet will break after update Aug 29 08:14:50 RST38h: so in your scenario the tablet is broken purely by the upgrade? Aug 29 08:14:54 all right, they are telling to turn off all the phones Aug 29 08:15:17 Good luck, RST38h. Aug 29 08:15:22 Jaffa: yes, if this particular version combo has got some problem Aug 29 08:15:46 gan: good luck I will need in 10 hours but thanks Aug 29 08:16:04 RST38h: Fair enough. But that's an argument against no SSUs. Anyway, have fun Aug 29 08:26:48 Anybody want to try fixing this up? https://wiki.maemo.org/Bluetooth_keyboards Aug 29 08:29:03 Hehe, that's fanoush's old website as well in the last link Aug 29 08:34:18 ~lart qemu Aug 29 08:34:18 * infobot cuts off qemu's head with a halberd that could have been a little bit sharper Aug 29 08:42:22 * Stskeeps yawns Aug 29 08:42:55 Hey Stskeeps Aug 29 08:43:08 qwerty12: i'm prodding fanoush a bit about a /etc/bootmenu.d/*.ext system, where the ext file describes files and stuff to be copied in and maybe places to hook into Aug 29 08:43:37 so it would be possible to make a .deb with a g_serial.ext and then simply run refresh_bootmenu.d to patch Aug 29 08:44:02 Stskeeps: Sounds good, the way I'm currently doing it is quite dirty :/ Aug 29 08:44:26 but we'll see if i even got the right email on him :P Aug 29 08:44:45 remember that initfs is mounted ro so you would need to remount it first before installing such package Aug 29 08:45:27 hrw: we know - i already made a bootmenu.d for items that deals with this problem Aug 29 08:46:04 * qwerty12 didn't realise initfs was ro during boot as well >.<, took me a while to figure out my mknod wasn't working >.< Aug 29 08:46:11 hehe Aug 29 08:46:14 use /tmp Aug 29 08:46:24 or mknod in advance Aug 29 08:46:26 Yeah, that's the way I'm currently doing it :) Aug 29 08:46:32 mknod in /tmp Aug 29 08:46:58 Fanoush uses devices in /dev but that's because he has them copied as part of the bootmenu install Aug 29 08:47:18 yeah, i had to mknod loop0 as part of my deblet in a file thing Aug 29 08:47:27 But the initrd is a filesystem you can mount rw? Aug 29 08:47:37 And you actually have space on it? Aug 29 08:47:43 initfs and yes, in diablo, you can remount rw Aug 29 08:47:47 XTL: well, on Well, I have 1.3MB left on mine. Aug 29 08:47:57 so it's better just to rely on reflashing Aug 29 08:48:10 I suppose there's a fixed area reserved for it Aug 29 08:48:14 Interesting. Aug 29 08:48:27 4MB Aug 29 08:48:38 2MB pre-Diablo Aug 29 08:48:38 I have my initfs on a computer so all I do is modify it on computer, mkfs.jffs2 and flasher-3.0 it to my device Aug 29 08:50:05 I'll clean up the g_serial initfs patch, a lot of unnecessary stuff being done there. What is annoying about g_serial is that it expects a connection first hence the need to run getty one, connect and run getty again Aug 29 08:50:11 s/one/once/ Aug 29 08:50:12 qwerty12 meant: I'll clean up the g_serial initfs patch, a lot of unnecessary stuff being donce there. What is annoying about g_serial is that it expects a connection first hence the need to run getty one, connect and run getty again Aug 29 08:50:21 qwerty12: i saw someone not using getty Aug 29 08:50:22 sec Aug 29 08:51:42 Running getty's by hand? Aug 29 08:52:35 Yer, I get getty to start on the temporary node I've made for g_serial. Aug 29 08:52:38 I never had serial ports that vanish, though. I don't know how init copes. (Brute force?) Aug 29 08:52:38 anyone use stardict on maemo? Aug 29 08:52:58 stardict don't see dictionaries :( Aug 29 08:53:26 XTL: I don't think maemo uses getty by default. I know to get a true console, you have to switch framebuffer manually and run getty manually. Aug 29 08:53:45 rmrfchik: There's a certain directory layout, I didn't know it but the help file has it Aug 29 08:53:52 qwerty12: I expect it doesn't. Aug 29 08:53:56 qwerty12: bash >/dev/ttygs0 2>/dev/ttygs0 i read it expect in /media/mmc2/startdic/dic Aug 29 08:54:05 I thought this was about rigging usb serial ports Aug 29 08:54:06 (in busybox case, sh) Aug 29 08:54:15 where ttygs0 is your node Aug 29 08:54:29 Stskeeps: Brilliant, thanks a lot. I'll edit bootmenu.sh and try that. Aug 29 08:54:30 but what it looking for? what files? Aug 29 08:54:34 qwerty12: ./bash --login --noprofile -i -s < /dev/ttygs0 > /dev/ttygs0 2>&1 as well Aug 29 08:54:52 busybox sh probably sucks too much for the above Aug 29 08:54:56 true Aug 29 08:55:09 This is also busybox 1.00 in the initfs, not 1.61 as in maemo :> Aug 29 08:55:14 i know Aug 29 08:55:17 it sucks goat ass Aug 29 08:55:22 heh Aug 29 08:55:23 Yeah :D Aug 29 08:55:34 i would really consider replacing it if there were no ill effects Aug 29 08:55:43 but i'd just be met with the fremantle chant prolly Aug 29 08:56:06 I'm going to replace it properly in maemo sometime Aug 29 08:56:20 The coreutils from nokia's sdk repo suck. Aug 29 08:56:27 So I build my own. Aug 29 08:57:00 (seriously, using nokia's coreutils, I'd get segfaults on running ls -la) Aug 29 08:58:01 qwerty12: I like busybox sh Aug 29 08:58:23 it is limited a lot but if your script works in it then it should work anywhere Aug 29 08:58:35 hrw: Yeah :/, I can't deny, same here. It's lacking but I find the speed good and the navigation is good unlike bash3 :/ Aug 29 09:06:27 Stskeeps, feel free to do as you please, but might as well not waste the effort. :P Aug 29 09:08:23 Stskeeps: using sh works nicely: http://qwerty12.maemobox.org/12.png Aug 29 09:20:28 RST38h: gmp won't compile here, I'll try cs2008 toolchain Aug 29 10:25:48 RST38h: fuck qalculate. http://pastebin.com/d7d667eff. Maybe the qt gui can be built but I can't be arsed. Aug 29 10:31:18 ~curse maemo Aug 29 10:31:19 May the fleas of a thousand camels infest your most sensitive regions, maemo ! Aug 29 10:31:37 I am trying to setup usb nettworking.. Aug 29 10:32:03 Ooh, load applet is updated Aug 29 10:32:28 hrw: at least we have diablo dummy module now :D Aug 29 10:33:25 have Aug 29 10:37:25 but why qemu/maemo does not want to do usb net ;( Aug 29 10:51:48 Hmm, what is the quickest way to tell if the watchdog is active? Aug 29 10:51:55 Hmm.. total deafness after flashing Aug 29 10:52:26 qwerty12, poke it with a stick? Aug 29 10:52:59 and which watchguard? Aug 29 10:53:11 GAN800: But it may be a rottweiler, I don't wish to anger it. Aug 29 10:53:16 Can't you check for the lifeguard process for lifeguard? Aug 29 10:53:30 Any of them. I'll kill xomap, should tell me if it's working... Aug 29 10:53:39 GAN800: Good point actually, I'll check Aug 29 11:14:02 qwerty12: if watchdog isnt active you'd reboot afaik :P Aug 29 11:14:35 Huh? Aug 29 11:15:17 Stskeeps: Hmm, I'd reboot if it was active and I killed an important process or the system. Just need a good hexeditor and I can make some sample code to write to cal (which the code is useless without dsme source) :) Aug 29 11:15:20 someone has usbnet.ko and cdc_ether.ko for diablo? Aug 29 11:15:30 hrw: they should be in the initfs Aug 29 11:19:41 they are part of kernel Aug 29 11:23:03 hrw: give me a min, I've got diablo kernel source tree here Aug 29 11:24:12 qwerty12: I checked Aug 29 11:25:05 dunno but here they are anyway: http://qwerty12.maemobox.org/dsfds/ Aug 29 11:26:55 time to update qemu diablo to 23.40 Aug 29 11:36:00 hmm.. Does anybody know about upnp details on maemo? Does the gnomevfs upnp backend try to first fetch a small part of the file to read e.g. meta info (artist, song name, etc) and then fetch the whole file in a new connection? Aug 29 11:46:11 interesting... Aug 29 11:46:37 fresh clean diablo + maemo extras + 'apt-get update/distr-upgrade' isntalls two packages from extras Aug 29 11:50:05 qwerty12_N800: we're prolly going to have a bootmenu mailing list, you interested when that comes up? Aug 29 11:50:33 Stskeeps: For sure :) Aug 29 11:51:24 k Aug 29 11:52:14 ~lart dayjob Aug 29 11:52:14 * infobot hooks into a hydrant and hoses dayjob down Aug 29 11:55:49 Stskeeps: that reminds me, I was unable to compile mtd-utils statically for initfs but I'll try 0xFFFF later Aug 29 11:56:33 qwerty12_N800: and you didn't succeed in building uclibc matching? Aug 29 11:57:55 Stskeeps: no :(, atm, i'm using uclibc toolchain from scratchbox people but it's wrong ABI hence the need to compile statically Aug 29 12:08:19 maemo-pan 1.0.1 is for diablo. but website has only 1.0 available. does 1.0.1 is in extras-devel? Aug 29 12:09:33 Funny. What website? Aug 29 12:09:39 hrw: yes Aug 29 12:10:28 thx Aug 29 12:10:35 XTL: garage Aug 29 12:16:35 hrw, o, cześć :) Aug 29 12:19:17 Hi. Aug 29 12:20:28 o hej yacubie Aug 29 12:20:47 People, flashing a kernel to the 770 is the same process as flashing a OS? Aug 29 12:21:08 Binky: yes, but you use -f -k instead Aug 29 12:21:19 Ok. Aug 29 12:21:26 Thank you Aug 29 12:21:50 Binky: oh, under windows or linux? Aug 29 12:22:04 Linux Aug 29 12:22:10 I'm probably the person most afraid of WSOD ever. Aug 29 12:22:41 yeah, then it's flasher -f -k Aug 29 12:23:14 I want to copy OS to MMC and install Fanoush's MMC kernel, but i don't want to break my device Aug 29 12:24:50 I'd have my 770 running almost as fast as a N800, but i'm idiot ^^ lol Aug 29 12:25:24 Binky: REMEMber that you can boot kernel with flasher without flashing it Aug 29 12:25:49 What? Aug 29 12:26:05 --boot, -b [arg] Boot the kernel with optional cmdline Aug 29 12:27:11 But runs the same? Aug 29 12:27:34 And if you reboot the kernel stills there? Aug 29 12:27:35 flasher -b -l kernel Aug 29 12:27:51 qwerty12_N800: https://garage.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/bootmenu-devel Aug 29 12:28:01 so it should boot to this kernel and after reboot it will use in-flash old kernel Aug 29 12:28:16 hrw, cool , thank you! Aug 29 12:29:04 hi Aug 29 12:29:09 ~curse h-a-m again Aug 29 12:29:10 May you be reincarnated as a Windows XP administrator, h-a-m again ! Aug 29 12:29:29 Stskeeps: thanks, signing up... Aug 29 12:29:44 hrw, wtf? Aug 29 12:29:52 ~lol Aug 29 12:29:53 lol is, like, stands for Laughing Out Loud. It is grammatically incorrect to use LOL in the first person; use 'heh' or 'haha' instead. If you want to use LOL, do '/me lol' instead. Aug 29 12:30:02 Incredible! Aug 29 12:30:11 Infobot rules Aug 29 12:30:12 * infobot makes the rules. now stfu and code more addons. Aug 29 12:30:14 infobot: you're encouraging non-irc standard behaviour Aug 29 12:30:36 Infobot is not amused Aug 29 12:30:43 does anyone know that is it difficult to create own flash image from tablet's current installation? Aug 29 12:30:50 or is it even possible? Aug 29 12:30:54 ~amused Aug 29 12:31:47 herwood, it's possible, since people created images for Angstrom, but I don't know why Aug 29 12:32:23 Binky: I would use it for quick recovery Aug 29 12:32:33 if something goes wrong Aug 29 12:32:49 herwood - lots of useful stuff here: https://wiki.maemo.org/Advanced_booting Aug 29 12:33:14 lbt: thanks, i'll take a look Aug 29 12:34:35 Angstrom images are created not from maemo images but from scratch Aug 29 12:34:42 herwood: it is possible Aug 29 12:35:23 hrw: what about the difficulty? Aug 29 12:36:33 herwood: you can make fiasco image using 0xffff or mamona image creator. you can compile your own kernel and modify initfs, rootfs using methods to mount a jffs2 image and mkfs.jffs2 to remake new image. i think poky people have tools to do this as well. Aug 29 12:37:57 hmm, sounds quite tricky Aug 29 12:38:45 herwood: dd if=/dev/mtdblock4 of=backup-of-my-rootfs.jffs2 Aug 29 12:39:36 but if you will do that from working system I do not warranty that it will give poper stuff Aug 29 12:41:12 hrw: ok Aug 29 12:41:15 typing in n810 emu is pain.. Aug 29 12:41:31 I'll test that and see what it does Aug 29 13:00:03 Hello ... Aug 29 13:01:39 i ve just see that there is a new portable game console based on linux open sourced nammed Wiz Aug 29 13:03:08 with that name, wiili comes to mind Aug 29 13:03:27 wiili as in wii linux lol Aug 29 13:06:33 Khertan: not really new, it seems to be a refresh of the gp2x line Aug 29 13:10:57 if I have 'libicd-network-dummy' installed then should not I have 'DUMMY' listed in 'select connection' dialog? Aug 29 13:11:21 hrw: restart icd2 Aug 29 13:11:45 it's now called "Dummy network" Aug 29 13:12:21 qwerty12_N800: I just rebooted emulator and now I even see 'dummy network' in list but greyed out.. Aug 29 13:13:00 hrw: very odd, is it doing some sort of check? Aug 29 13:13:42 http://www.gp2xwiz.co.kr/FrontStore/iMakePage.phtml?iPageId=15 Aug 29 13:13:42 moment - restarted qemu Aug 29 13:13:50 yep it s a gp2x ... :( Aug 29 13:15:46 qwerty12_N800: no idea Aug 29 13:16:10 now it does not even list dummy network... Aug 29 13:21:01 hrw: ugh. what does gconftool -a /system/osso/connectivity/network_type/DUMMY say? Aug 29 13:24:18 <_berto_> for you last.fm users -> http://pastebin.ca/raw/1188469 Aug 29 13:24:46 hola Aug 29 13:26:52 Nokia-N800-23-14:~# gconftool -a /system/osso/connectivity/network_type/DUMMY network_modules = [libicd_network_dummy.so] Aug 29 13:27:03 add \n in between Aug 29 13:28:12 \? This is mine: Aug 29 13:28:15 N800-P!MP!N:~# gconftool -a /system/osso/connectivity/network_type/DUMMY Aug 29 13:28:32 network_modules = [libicd_network_dummy.so] Aug 29 13:29:46 same here Aug 29 13:30:02 qemu is slow.. Aug 29 13:30:33 it may be worth repacking icd1... Aug 29 13:32:20 * qwerty12_N800 quite likes links2, i'll have to do proper build sometime Aug 29 14:05:13 hello. Aug 29 14:06:39 Can anyone help me? I want to download the maemo source code from Windows. Is there any windows application which browse maemo repository? Aug 29 14:07:24 Hexxx: the source packages on repository.maemo.org are just tarballs - WinZip can open them, for one. Also, there's http://mxr.maemo.org/ which may help Aug 29 14:15:14 winzip? 7-zip Aug 29 14:15:51 I know how to open them. Maybe I do something wrong, but I can see the source code tarballs there. for example http://mxr.maemo.org/diablo/source/ - here are no tarballs Aug 29 14:18:44 Hexxx: mxr is a source code viewer & cross-referencing site. Aug 29 14:18:44 repository.maemo.org/pool/diablo/ check Aug 29 14:18:52 ^^^ what hrw said :) Aug 29 14:26:23 there are two directories at repository.maemo.org/pool/diablo/ : "free" and "non-free". "non-free" directory is almost empty (libjpeg only), but in "free" there are so many subdirectories named "a", "b", "c" etc. Which one should I enter? or I should search all of them? Aug 29 14:26:35 all Aug 29 14:27:08 all of them, and do it manually from the browser? Aug 29 14:28:36 i thought there's a tarball which contains everything... Aug 29 14:29:08 whole internet Aug 29 14:29:13 internet.tar.gz Aug 29 14:29:54 very wittily Aug 29 14:30:18 Hexxx: there is no such thing as full maemo sources - very big amount of components are not open Aug 29 14:30:29 heh :( Aug 29 14:30:43 and many others are plainly broken Aug 29 14:30:52 like fscking 'dummy network' stuff Aug 29 14:31:44 my emulated n810 has usb network card which works fine - unless you try to use maemo apps which use one of maemo crappy network connection handling libs Aug 29 14:31:51 ok. I just wanted to see how they work with OMAP cpu. Where is it in the source code? Aug 29 14:32:48 kernel sources Aug 29 14:32:57 thank you Aug 29 14:33:23 might have what you're looking for, "work with omap cpu" is pretty generic though Aug 29 14:34:06 setting up the system registers, PLL, watchdog etc Aug 29 14:34:41 MMU programming Aug 29 14:34:41 thats kernel thing Aug 29 14:34:46 ok Aug 29 14:35:05 Hexxx: and I think that maemo is not necessary good example Aug 29 14:35:21 Hexxx: look into linux-omap tree instead and look at more recent kernels Aug 29 14:37:41 As I remember linux-omap is developed for OMAP5912, and maemo is for OMAP2420. There's some differnce I think... Aug 29 14:39:01 Hexxx: really? Aug 29 14:39:12 you looked at linux-omap two years ago? Aug 29 14:39:41 linux-omap covers omap1 (7xx, 8xx, 1510, 17xx), omap2 (24xx), omap3 (3xxx) now Aug 29 14:40:27 wow, it's really improved Aug 29 14:41:25 the fun is that linux-omap 2.6.26 boots fine on n8x0 but this is not supported at all by nokia so you do not have wifi etc Aug 29 14:41:25 Then, I'll go to linux-omap :) Aug 29 14:42:25 Have any one tried to flash Symbian phones with linux? :) Aug 29 14:42:54 from what I know nokia internally got linux on n95 Aug 29 14:43:12 but they do many internal fun things Aug 29 14:43:57 If there's linux-omap for omap1710, why didn't anyone try to use it symbian phones. There's omap1710 there... Aug 29 14:45:13 Hexxx: omap is not the only chip Aug 29 14:45:21 in the phone, I mean Aug 29 14:46:16 what do you mean? Aug 29 14:46:39 what I said Aug 29 14:46:52 Hexxx: first you need to get to serial line, got jtag, access to bootloader etc Aug 29 14:47:03 running linux on non-linux hardware is not easy task Aug 29 14:47:16 jtag pins are accessible at the phones Aug 29 14:47:26 jtag is disabled Aug 29 14:50:07 Why do they do the pins at all of the BB5 phones' boards? just for fun? Aug 29 14:50:42 Or you mean it's disabled by software? Aug 29 14:50:53 guess, you haven't ever seen linux and HS omap Aug 29 14:51:31 nobodys afaik done a bootloader for n95(or other nokia phones) Aug 29 14:51:50 theres a linux port to siemens sx-1(s60 phone, arm) Aug 29 14:52:05 sx1 was s60? rather s40 Aug 29 14:52:22 hrw: it was symbian Aug 29 14:52:24 hrw: s60 Aug 29 14:52:28 There's all-know Dejan who says that he's able to connect to BB5 phones via Jtag. Is he lying? Aug 29 14:52:30 and sx1 was disaster - few hardware versions, misc amount of ram Aug 29 14:52:51 crazy button placement too Aug 29 14:52:53 Hexxx: ok - what will you do with n95/linux? Aug 29 14:53:12 the same things you do with N800 :) Aug 29 14:53:13 Hexxx: try to get laid? Aug 29 14:53:21 Hexxx: no - n95 lack touchscreen Aug 29 14:53:41 it also has low resolution Aug 29 14:53:43 Hexxx: port qt phone ed or what? and lose the phone side? Aug 29 14:53:45 let's return to jtag question Aug 29 14:53:56 Is JTAG really disabled? Aug 29 14:54:28 on n810? it's disabled in HW Aug 29 14:54:32 give me 2 phones, service hardware and time/money and I will tell you Aug 29 14:54:39 bb5 phones -- offtopic Aug 29 14:55:02 the phone side is runnung at the other CPU, connected to OMAP1710 via UART Aug 29 14:55:17 so the phone part won't die Aug 29 14:56:13 some of the more recent s60's are singlecpu Aug 29 14:56:34 glass: for example? Aug 29 14:57:22 n91 - has 2 cpu, is it recent enough? Aug 29 14:57:28 trenka: E50 for example, and almost every new s60 except n95(n82) Aug 29 14:57:46 it's cheaper Aug 29 14:58:19 Hexxx: anyways, if you manage to flash and run any code of your own it would be newsworthy Aug 29 14:58:46 i know. But there are so many rumors. Aug 29 14:59:18 rumours don't mean jack shit Aug 29 14:59:38 forums are full of hopefuls who make wrong deductions Aug 29 14:59:49 Some ot them tell JTAG is disabled everywhere, some of them tell it can be enabled by software, and some othem tell that it's enabled in some harware way Aug 29 15:00:32 qwerty12: blog.haerwu.biz/tmp/qemu-icd.jpg Aug 29 15:00:35 it's a thing that may have changed over years.. heard once it's enabled for proto-devices Aug 29 15:01:48 hrw: that's really odd. do you have wireless modules loaded? Aug 29 15:01:50 for DCT4 it was rather clear, there were too few phones which had jtag pins on the board. What's the reason in making jtag pins for both cpu's on each BB5 board? Aug 29 15:02:02 qwerty12: I have but qemu lack wireless anyway Aug 29 15:02:42 hrw: ah. I'll set up N800 emulation and have a look. If worst comes to worst, I'll dpkg-repack icd from chinook Aug 29 15:05:57 qwerty12: use n810 emulation - it has a keyboard (bit hard to use but keyboard) Aug 29 15:06:21 hrw: will do. do I need mtd1 from n810 or will my N800 one do? Aug 29 15:06:31 Aug 29 15:06:32 hello, my N800 fell by 1.5 metres, no nothing bad happened .. he just left the chamber as if I had done so, then the goal again and everything normal .. but when I wanted to use the camera rotated 90 degrees and it was there when the problem .. does not rotate and turn the other way round, if the N800 turn 90 degrees the camera rotates 90 degrees, but everything is on the other hand, continues to operate the rotation, but bad .. on the contrary everythi Aug 29 15:06:32 ng Any idea? Aug 29 15:07:23 qwerty12: you will be fine Aug 29 15:07:24 your Aug 29 15:07:30 ok, thanks Aug 29 15:08:18 :( Aug 29 15:15:38 * qwerty12 gets ready for slow qemu compile :) Aug 29 15:16:19 lopz: did rotation work before? Aug 29 15:20:05 hrw: what changes do I have to make for diablo partition layout in qemu? I searched logs and found but it's expired :\ .http://pastebin.com/d58cf48bc Aug 29 15:21:51 qwerty12: http://pastebin.com/m2045be2d Aug 29 15:22:04 great, thanks a lot Aug 29 15:22:17 Stskeeps, yes :S Aug 29 15:22:47 qwerty12: http://pastebin.com/d5622c04e is handy Aug 29 15:23:08 Ah, I can see why, thanks :) Aug 29 15:25:46 Stskeeps, all normal operating entities, rotate the image the camera when it did, but now just broken, but upside down, the problem is when you have the N800 facing you, then rotate 90 degrees and the camera should see the environment that is behind device, it does, but you sample rotated 90 degrees, and if you put the device rotated 90 degrees, the picture remains unchanged broken, but there is always the other way around, any ideas? problem is hardwar Aug 29 15:25:46 e? or that .. : ( Aug 29 15:32:28 bye Aug 29 15:32:37 bye hrw Aug 29 15:35:54 Stskeeps: lol, while I've been dicking around with compiling mtd-utils statically, I read some old emails and found out that fanoush has already done it :D Aug 29 15:46:55 Stskeeps: ping Aug 29 15:47:50 pong Aug 29 15:48:07 lopz: maybe sensor went broken Aug 29 15:48:17 Stskeeps: I compiled mtd-utils successfully/statically for initfs. Want the archive? Aug 29 15:48:53 qwerty12: sure - how big is it? Aug 29 15:49:07 Stskeeps, ouch Aug 29 15:49:33 but I do not think, that serves the sensor, which operates only in reverse: S Aug 29 15:49:47 lopz: did you pop the battery to make sure it's not some software stuff Aug 29 15:49:47 ? Aug 29 15:50:20 Stskeeps, sorry, how is "pop" ? :S Aug 29 15:50:21 Stskeeps: Well, mkfs.jffs2 is 159KB stripped.... But check it out for yourself :) : http://qwerty12.maemobox.org/mtd-utils-1.0.0-initfs.tar.bz2 Aug 29 15:50:27 my english is bad, sorry Aug 29 15:50:32 lopz: remove battery Aug 29 15:50:39 ah mm not Aug 29 15:50:48 whait Aug 29 15:51:20 qwerty12: can you maybe make a list of hooks they want for initfs? Aug 29 15:51:24 if you want to include stuff Aug 29 15:51:51 Stskeeps: what people want included in initfs? Aug 29 15:52:04 qwerty12: well ways to include extensions Aug 29 15:52:16 such as menu items, button assignments, yadda yadda Aug 29 15:52:18 like a module API Aug 29 15:52:21 / extensio Aug 29 15:52:35 Sorry, doesn't sound like my area :/ :( Aug 29 15:52:54 okay Aug 29 15:53:04 maybe things you would like to have an easy way to patch :P Aug 29 15:56:38 Stskeeps: Hehe, you may as well have the toolchain me and fanoush are using. http://scratchbox.org/download/files/sbox-releases/apophis/tarball/scratchbox-toolchain-arm-gcc3.4-uclibc0.9.28-1.0.4-i386.tar.gz - Everything has to be compiled statically :/ Aug 29 15:57:03 * qwerty12 has that toolchain with static zlib and mtd-utils only :P Aug 29 15:57:21 k Aug 29 15:59:08 Stskeeps: vote for this as well : https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3373 :P Aug 29 16:02:00 Stskeeps, it is my problem :S http://omploader.org/vcGsy Aug 29 16:02:12 qwerty12, voted Aug 29 16:02:18 qwerty12: don't have a bugzilla account Aug 29 16:02:22 Thanks crashanddie :) Aug 29 16:02:28 Stskeeps: ah :) Aug 29 16:02:35 any idea ? Aug 29 16:03:28 lopz: i think some people have similar problems. have you looked at internettablettalk.com/forums for similar cases?

Aug 29 16:14:34 lopz: no sorry, if it doesnt work after popping battery it must be either a software bug or a hardware error Aug 29 16:15:13 Stskeeps, pfff ok Aug 29 16:15:14 thanks Aug 29 16:18:40 lopz: hey, i'm not a nokia guy, i am a humble user of tablets :P Aug 29 16:19:12 xD Aug 29 16:23:22 Stskeeps: Here's another one, 0xFFFF for initfs. I patched the dump function so that it won't ask to dump the rootfs, instead it just does it (not good if you want to run from a script and it asks you questions :/) and I removed the prompt to ask you to strip the dumps. http://qwerty12.maemobox.org/0xFFFF-initfs Aug 29 16:51:37 qwerty12: *nod* Aug 29 16:51:54 andre___, poke.

Aug 29 16:58:49 Knowing you, I'd boil them. Aug 29 16:59:41 lol Aug 29 17:00:30 well it worked anyway, there was some fluff caught around. all clean now Aug 29 17:01:51 I kick mine around to hopefully get some dirt off. Aug 29 17:03:37 *sigh* qemu is a temperamental bastard Aug 29 17:04:44 hello! Aug 29 17:04:47 is there a way to download a map of a certain city in maemo mapper without having to visit manually the place ? it's a bit tiring :P Aug 29 17:06:29 Eduli, nowadays we have efficient postal service who will allow you to mail items anywhere in the world. just send your 810 to your aunt in bell air and get her to grab the maps Aug 29 17:06:55 Eduli: you eman like turku? Aug 29 17:07:20 lol Aug 29 17:07:35 visit the place with the pen... Aug 29 17:08:00 not with gps xD Aug 29 17:08:23 Edulix: maps->manage maps etc Aug 29 17:10:07 ok. it would be a great thing to be able to download maps from a certtain country Aug 29 17:10:16 exactly Aug 29 17:10:32 I would like to be able to select an area or city and download it Aug 29 17:10:44 country level 7,9,11 and ciity level 5 Aug 29 17:11:11 Edulix: you can do that already Aug 29 17:12:27 how? I'm trying :P Aug 29 17:12:55 maps-> manage maps Aug 29 17:14:37 Read the help that covers all this stuff? Aug 29 17:16:44 yes I think I know now how to download, but it's a bit cumbersome Aug 29 17:17:40 How do you plan on figuring out what city ==? Aug 29 17:17:46 or country? Aug 29 17:18:15 It's more complicated than you think when you're jacking raster maps. Aug 29 17:18:38 GAN800: it would be great if we woud be able to load maps for certain country Aug 29 17:18:41 well te idea is to add some points to the iternary and then use the option to download the maps for the points of the itirenary Aug 29 17:19:05 download along route Aug 29 17:19:18 GAN800: surely very complicated when doing with computer Aug 29 17:19:32 oilinki7, but county == what, exactly? Aug 29 17:19:51 GAN800: country as thailand. Aug 29 17:20:12 That doesn't mean anything to Maemo Mapper. Aug 29 17:20:41 GAN800: follow the country area. download the main areas, and download the roads. Aug 29 17:20:43 Google wont give you a section to download when you give it a country. Aug 29 17:20:56 How do you get the country area? Aug 29 17:21:06 google uses centrepoint/scale doesnt it? Aug 29 17:21:09 It's more complicated than you realize. Aug 29 17:21:20 GAN800: that's true. but the people who live here will do the work for it Aug 29 17:21:32 Uh? Aug 29 17:21:34 GAN800: the thing is, I live in seville, and I want the map of seville. I don't want to create a route just to get the map. and plus there's the option to select the number of grid cells to dnowload. I don't know what's the size of a gri cell so what's the use? Aug 29 17:22:00 * GAN800 is really goddamn tired of the 'convergence' device moaning. Aug 29 17:22:29 Edulix, i agree, mapping coordinates and scales are mumbo jumbo to the common man Aug 29 17:22:49 You know, a database of geopolitical boundaries on the country scale does not seem hard. Aug 29 17:22:50 like RGB is useless to most users (hence pantone colors) Aug 29 17:23:08 It'd just take some work. Aug 29 17:23:13 derf: even easier what I need is just: select an area in the screen to download, and then download it. Aug 29 17:23:19 derf, no, but somebody has to make one that Maemo Mapper can access. Aug 29 17:23:26 no need to even database for anything :P Aug 29 17:23:30 GAN800: how to create understanding of the borderss Aug 29 17:23:50 Edulix: It already can download the current area displayed on the screen. Aug 29 17:23:53 Edulix, it already works that way. Aug 29 17:24:04 Frame the area you want, download. Aug 29 17:24:06 I'm not sure how selecting an area wouldbe much of an improvement. Aug 29 17:24:20 derf: so I can download to the maximum level of resolution the map shown in the screen? Aug 29 17:24:37 GAN800: in thailand, nobody would go to burma. therefore the roads and maps are unimportant. Aug 29 17:24:54 Edulix: Yes. Aug 29 17:25:18 and this is the same with most of the countries in the world Aug 29 17:25:23 Edulix, have you TRIED the manage maps... feature? :rolleyes: Aug 29 17:25:32 GAN800: yes.. Aug 29 17:25:46 ok Aug 29 17:25:55 in the maps it's the same, but in real life not Aug 29 17:26:10 GAN800: I now see how to do it lol Aug 29 17:28:30 I tought that this problem was cleared 8 years ago Aug 29 17:29:04 wellcome to the global world Aug 29 17:44:08 holla Aug 29 17:47:29 oilinki7: it was not cleared apparently, maemo mapper is crashing to me Aug 29 17:49:04 oh okey Aug 29 17:49:13 / is full Aug 29 17:53:59 anyone knows if we are getting the new rDesktop for non-Diablo OS? Aug 29 18:00:14 heya Aug 29 18:00:24 * riot just got a 810.. wow Aug 29 18:00:37 impressive device, impressive software! Aug 29 18:01:08 quite Aug 29 18:01:27 funny thing: the builtin calculator calculates this: 1/3 = 0.33333333 * 3 = 0.99999999 ;) Aug 29 18:01:33 actually i used it as a GPS device in my England + Galles tour Aug 29 18:01:40 best not use this for scientific stuff :) Aug 29 18:01:41 and it worked quite well Aug 29 18:01:57 well i guess it's quite normal Aug 29 18:02:07 yeah, i had a first fix just some minutes ago. With OSM and all the maemo-mapper-stuff, that is really nice to use Aug 29 18:02:41 i never managed to get a good use of maemo-mapper however Aug 29 18:02:42 normal. hmmm. Other recent nokia-devices don't calc like that anymore.. Well, i'm rather gonna use numpy et al anyway :) Aug 29 18:03:20 just install octave on it :) Aug 29 18:05:00 bedboi: nah, i'm a python coder :) Aug 29 18:05:10 numpy, scipy, etc ftw! Aug 29 18:05:11 'grats Aug 29 18:05:25 i see, ipython and co. Aug 29 18:15:16 one thing i hate about the 'internet tablet' is the lack of internet :/ if the N8X0 could use 3g, or even edge - it could be the perfect device Aug 29 18:15:58 no, to be perfect it needs to be glossy black Aug 29 18:16:16 all over Aug 29 18:17:28 internets work fine for me :) Aug 29 18:17:38 all of them? Aug 29 18:17:47 yep Aug 29 18:18:14 * TZander just uses his phone (over bluetooth) to do the 3g. Aug 29 18:18:14 yeah Aug 29 18:18:19 if you have WiFi nearby Aug 29 18:18:27 or a second device to BT for u Aug 29 18:18:37 It would be too expensive to get a second subscription ;) Aug 29 18:18:43 but walking around with 3-4 devices kind of sucks Aug 29 18:18:57 2 is enough Aug 29 18:19:32 nit wouldnt make a very good phone anyway so youd nee to still carry a separate one Aug 29 18:19:35 there is another option. broadband + broadband card WiFi-er + N8X0 Aug 29 18:19:36 :D Aug 29 18:19:40 * TZander doesn't walk around with my wireless basestation :P Aug 29 18:20:17 +d Aug 29 18:20:57 i like it exactly the way it is. I have a tiny E51 for phone and can now decide wether i want full fledged internet/pda stuff to be with me (which i definitely do _not_ want e.g. at a party in a disco..) Aug 29 18:22:13 * riot has wireless all around him. At work, at university, at home, in the city. Hm. I'd really have to consider taking the PHONE with me here in future.. Aug 29 18:22:35 * lbt lives in the countryside :( .... ...... :D Aug 29 18:22:51 poor lbt Aug 29 18:22:54 riot, a real nerd always goes with a computer in the disco Aug 29 18:22:55 ;( Aug 29 18:22:57 =)) Aug 29 18:23:11 I am so disconnected Aug 29 18:23:15 hyankov2: yes, but with two?? I consider the e51 to be a computer. Aug 29 18:23:24 lol, i was just kidding Aug 29 18:23:57 the e51 has the advantage of not bulging out the pockets as much as the 810 (though its the same width) - which sure looks sexier to the girls :) Aug 29 18:26:22 uh, i had some problems mounting the third partition of my microSD, which is ext3. Any problems with ext3?? Aug 29 18:26:25 * moontiger uses bluetooth for net out of wifi too Aug 29 18:28:19 riot: nah, but which modules are in memory atm? Aug 29 18:28:59 no ext3 Aug 29 18:29:44 riot: insmod mbcache jbd ext3 Aug 29 18:32:03 uh, where are all the modules? /sbin/insmod can't find ext3 Aug 29 18:33:12 /mnt/initfs/lib/modules/2.6.21-omap1 is a good place Aug 29 18:33:42 aah, thx :) Aug 29 18:35:45 there we go. Nice. Aug 29 18:36:18 Stskeeps, if i want to use ext3 on my sd card do i need to insmod the ext3 thingy too? Aug 29 18:37:25 moontiger: yeah Aug 29 18:37:33 mbcache, jbd, and ext3 Aug 29 18:37:47 if you're dealing with normal maemo operations Aug 29 18:37:48 and does insmod force it to get loaded on restart too? Aug 29 18:37:53 not afaik Aug 29 18:37:53 :P Aug 29 18:38:10 so each boot i have to insmod? Aug 29 18:38:34 indeed Aug 29 18:38:39 doh! Aug 29 18:38:52 * moontiger considers putting xfce on the tablet Aug 29 18:39:10 Stskeeps, is lxde any more lightweight than xfce? Aug 29 18:40:14 guys, is there another major source of application aside from maemo.org Aug 29 18:40:22 and http://www.internettablettalk.com/forums/ Aug 29 18:40:24 isnt there a list of modules to load on startup? Aug 29 18:41:14 hyankov1, you mean like just going to maemo.org and looking at the applications ? Aug 29 18:41:30 hyankov1, add maemo extras to your application manager, and just browser the app manager Aug 29 18:42:20 On debian systems I'm pretty sure it autoloads things in /etc/modprobe.d/ Aug 29 18:42:46 crashanddie: right, i already have that, thanks. i was just wondering if there is another website with a list of applications and stuff. or another huge repository. i guess not Aug 29 18:42:58 Pebby: that dir is existant here but empty. So, i have some modules loaded - where did that happen? Aug 29 18:43:05 hyankov1, not really, plus, having a long list of repositories isn't a good idea Aug 29 18:43:25 i figured :( it's taking me 15 minutes to check for updates Aug 29 18:43:29 riot: I'm not terribly familiar with how it works on Debian, but on gentoo, modules can get pulled in as dependencies Aug 29 18:43:48 riot: For example, when ALSA tries to load, it says 'oh hey, i need a sound card driver' and will load your sound driver Aug 29 18:44:16 Pebby: hm, not on the device i have.. ext3 refused to load without mbcache and jbd Aug 29 18:44:36 Pebby, erhm Aug 29 18:44:44 Pebby, you just have your soundcard compiled in the alsa module Aug 29 18:44:58 normally, there's a /etc/modules where you just have a list of modules to be loaded Aug 29 18:45:37 crashanddie: on my debian sid, if i load alsa, the soundcard-_module_ gets loaded automatically. Could be some debian-magic though.. Aug 29 18:46:05 riot: err, yeah, that's the file... I know I was autoloading, say, FUSE on my old debian system that way Aug 29 18:48:47 jeez, aah. very stripped down system. :/ Aug 29 18:49:19 hey, has anybody here tried the CarMan application? Aug 29 18:49:25 Interesting... my n810 doesn't seem to have a depmod command too. I remember debian had that and something like update-modules, and I also have to use depmod if I want modprobe to ever work on gentoo Aug 29 18:49:30 the bluetooth adapter is kind of expensive (160-200$) Aug 29 18:49:54 riot: so is the problem your ext3 module won't load if you put it in /etc/modules? Aug 29 18:50:09 Pebby: i haven't tried yet, as i suppose that won't do it Aug 29 18:50:25 riot: err, sorry for jumping in late - what makes you think it won't do it? Aug 29 18:50:40 too easy :) Aug 29 18:50:53 riot, http://www.internettablettalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=12531 Aug 29 18:52:05 crashanddie: hmm, ok, i thought about something like an initscript. Aug 29 18:52:30 though that one is a bit overkill - i don't want _all_ of them loaded :) Aug 29 18:52:32 that's exactly what this is Aug 29 18:53:28 riot: If you're formatting your SD to ext3, why not use ext2? ;) Aug 29 18:54:23 That's probably the weirdest question I've ever heard Aug 29 18:54:46 "Hey, if you want a car that runs off diesel, why not buy one that runs off petrol ?" Aug 29 18:55:45 Pebby: a) ext2 isn't loaded either b) i'd like to have a journal Aug 29 18:56:10 crashanddie: its more "nice car, lets remove the doors and the roof!" Aug 29 18:56:18 lol Aug 29 18:56:24 hmm. Free cabrio. Aug 29 18:56:52 Well, journal on your nokia tablet.. anyway, don't let me stop you from doing what you want, but I'm confused. I have ext2 support on my n810 =/ Aug 29 18:58:01 is the hostname relevant to anything? Can i change it without anything breaking up? Aug 29 18:59:10 Pebby: yes, journal. Sure! Its almost made for such devices. Remove the battery and a mounted ext2 has some "problems".. Aug 29 19:03:22 Yeah, that makes sense, but I'm not running an OS off the SD card either ;) Aug 29 19:05:51 * riot neither. I just prefer ext3 over any fat-stupidity, esp. since all my card-reading devices (except the e51) read ext3 happily Aug 29 19:06:25 hmm. Now it even automounted the card - how friendly. Aug 29 19:06:46 oh, don't get me wrong riot... I was tearing my hair out with fat Aug 29 19:07:26 GAH. The internal card vanished! Aug 29 19:07:49 My n810 finally got to the point where the internal card was unusable and all its automounting crap just confused it, so I formatted that thing to ext too. Even the way the n810 mounts the external card is totally wacky... it runs a little script hidden somewhere Aug 29 19:08:30 Pebby: yea, seems to be somewhat buggy Aug 29 19:09:17 Pebby, if you ext2 the internal card then the maps thingy doesnt work right? Aug 29 19:09:48 * riot has a look at maemo's init.d Aug 29 19:10:14 moontiger: no, you just need to back up the files then copy 'em back Aug 29 19:11:25 moontiger: It still automounts and reads as /media/mmc2 as usual, it's just using ext2 instead of FAT... FAT just gave me a ton of headaches when the card mysteriously got corrupted and became unrecoverable by any means I could figure out =( Aug 29 19:12:07 Pebby, so the maemo gps nav app still works ok with ext2? Aug 29 19:13:20 moontiger: I'm not sure why it wouldn't...? I haven't tried it yet, but if all the files are there, why would maemo gps care about the file system to hold the files? ;) Aug 29 19:15:07 hm. What does osso stand for? Aug 29 19:15:12 Pebby, i thought read somewhere ... maybe it was something else :) Aug 29 19:16:08 riot: It's deprecated but used to stand for something like Open Source Software Operations Aug 29 19:17:02 Jaffa: thanks. Aug 29 19:19:45 yeah, osso was an internal department in nokia as far as i know Aug 29 19:19:55 (or "is"?) Aug 29 19:20:14 Was. Now is "Maemo Software" Aug 29 19:20:31 sounds way finnish :) Aug 29 19:21:02 ok. so i didn't leak non-official information ;-)) Aug 29 19:21:49 andre___: nah, it's on Task:Maemo_brand Aug 29 19:24:03 andre___, internal wikilinks are [[
]] Aug 29 19:24:35 oh no, somebody's read my activity log :-P Aug 29 19:24:49 too many wiki markup languages out there Aug 29 19:24:51 and fixed. . . . :P Aug 29 19:33:04 mmmhm. I already love maemo-mapper Aug 29 19:33:05 niiice Aug 29 19:34:14 thats what i'd call a navigation-solution :) Aug 29 19:43:26 * Jaffa afks Aug 29 19:46:23 hrm Aug 29 19:46:32 Vagalume uses gstreamer for audio out, yes? Aug 29 19:46:50 I wonder how hard it would be to make it use alsa... or if it has been done already Aug 29 19:48:17 if it is built for debian (which it appears to be) as well as maemo, it probably supports alsa? maybe? >_> Aug 29 19:48:49 pft it uses gstreamer there too Aug 29 19:50:28 wait, can GSTREAMER use alsa? Aug 29 19:50:32 what's going on? Aug 29 19:50:39 * GeneralAntilles hopes dneary gets back soon so we can start cleansing the old wiki. Aug 29 19:50:41 oh god, linux audio system overlapping hell Aug 29 19:55:41 rm_you, just be glad they haven't ganged up on us yet. Aug 29 20:06:31 GeneralAntilles: aha! Aug 29 20:06:34 this should be easy Aug 29 20:06:50 switching Vagalume to using ALSA output (so i can use a2dp with it) :P Aug 29 20:07:07 gotta run to work, but it should be like one quick change and a recompile Aug 29 20:07:16 when i get back home. anyway, l8r Aug 29 20:20:50 hello. If I buy a n810 from germany, will the gps be compatible in my country? Aug 29 20:21:22 yes Aug 29 20:21:41 the name comes from _global_ positioning system... Aug 29 20:23:44 you 're right. thank u :-) Aug 29 20:24:38 the preloaded maps might be wrong, can't recall how big an area they come with Aug 29 20:24:42 but if so, those can always be changed Aug 29 20:26:30 just take care that your get a qwerty keypad Aug 29 20:27:32 moontiger: i only tried xfce recently - lxde should be more lightweight but also not that featureful :P tried KDE3 and it wasn't actually half bad Aug 29 20:44:12 Stskeeps, i used to use kde3 series a lot but now i prefer xfce ... might look at lxde soon ... i like qt as a lib tho ... wish there was a qt/gtk binding :) Aug 29 20:44:35 Juhaz, sinak: The german model comes with benelux and german maps. Aug 29 20:45:02 yet, that isn't really of interest, as there are plenty of very good map-sources on the internet (remember, its an internet tablet, right? ;) Aug 29 20:45:30 so riot if I want to install greek maps can I find them from the internet? Aug 29 20:48:20 sinak: do you know maps.google.com ? Aug 29 20:48:33 yeah Aug 29 20:48:36 why install?? _real_ maps are too large to install Aug 29 20:49:01 but, yes, there are tools to save maps. Aug 29 20:49:03 can I use google maps in gps? Aug 29 20:49:32 riot, i use the maps app cos sometimes im not online Aug 29 20:49:41 usually when im driving in fact Aug 29 20:50:01 sinak: sure. that makes the whole thing interesting. Have a look at https://garage.maemo.org/projects/maemo-mapper Aug 29 20:50:04 so for me the $100 for 3yrs of the turn by turn was a good deal Aug 29 20:50:33 hmm.. canola2 is a bit dumb, as it seems :( Aug 29 20:50:42 finds no movies, can't read my id3-tags.. hmmm Aug 29 20:50:50 nice app Aug 29 20:50:57 thank u Aug 29 20:50:59 :-) Aug 29 20:51:52 anybody here have success at using a dvorak BT keyboard with a n810? Aug 29 20:55:02 good thing, there is mplayer. Aug 29 20:56:07 aah, perfect. Works like a charm :) Aug 29 20:56:10 i find that i have to rescan my movies folder with canola after adding new vids Aug 29 20:56:27 other wise it is too dumb to see them Aug 29 20:56:39 hmm. Canola doesn't support any real codecs Aug 29 20:56:47 sorta drives me crazy Aug 29 20:56:50 which mplayer does (plays really everything) Aug 29 20:56:56 and no media-scanning necessary Aug 29 20:57:09 its just "not so pretty" Aug 29 20:57:49 riot: yeah, i keep thinking that i should just ditch canola and go back to mplayer Aug 29 20:57:54 Canola is proprietary too =/ Aug 29 20:58:24 canola feels like windows media center too.... ewwwwwww Aug 29 21:01:31 it looks pretty but.. the iPh*ck is pretty.. i want functionality. (And i got it) Aug 29 21:02:17 lolz, i like the idea of that device, not the locked down nature of it Aug 29 21:02:54 riot, canola uses mplayer as backend Aug 29 21:04:50 lsobral: then they forgot several important codecs Aug 29 21:06:32 woo, 400 mhz ain't enough for hd-media Aug 29 21:11:01 What lsobral said Aug 29 21:11:22 The mplayer you get from the commandline or GMPlayer is the exact same mplayer Canola uses. Aug 29 21:11:42 and don't hate on Canola for being close Aug 29 21:11:43 d Aug 29 21:12:04 The Canola guys have contributed more open source code to the platform than just about any other single source. Aug 29 21:12:04 it's hard Aug 29 21:12:27 You wouldn't have Python for Maemo without INdT. ;) Aug 29 21:13:57 Not hating on 'em at all, I just thought it was cool and wanted to work on it =( Aug 29 21:15:24 Pebby: all of us Aug 29 21:15:24 :P Aug 29 21:47:46 MAKE ME SOME BROWNIES!!! Aug 29 21:47:58 make them yourself Aug 29 21:48:06 Proteous: you forgot sudo Aug 29 21:48:09 * mgedmin waits expectantly for the inevitable xkcd link Aug 29 21:48:10 please? Aug 29 21:48:22 mgedmin: I did that ;P Aug 29 21:48:30 you forgot to make install Aug 29 21:48:33 * mgedmin should type faster Aug 29 21:48:42 and ./configure --oven-temperature Aug 29 21:48:53 don't forget ./flasher --enable-rd-mode Aug 29 21:48:57 * Pebby is sad autogen brownies doesn't work D: Aug 29 21:49:00 make install me some brownies Aug 29 21:49:05 it's just easier to yell "WOMAN, BRING ME FOOD" Aug 29 21:49:37 to unpredictaqble, I don't want food, just brownies Aug 29 21:50:01 Proteous: oh, then you'll have to do some pre and postprocessing Aug 29 21:50:03 that's usually the point she slams the door and goes away to do some social crying with her BFF slash mother Aug 29 21:50:18 lol Aug 29 21:50:26 if you do that well, you'll get brownies and extra ;P Aug 29 21:51:11 you have to make clean your oven first, AStorm ;) Aug 29 21:51:21 re Aug 29 21:51:28 Pebby: sure Aug 29 21:51:41 it's very inconvenient Aug 29 21:51:49 I'd just combine an oven with a dishwasher Aug 29 21:51:54 apt get install brownies Aug 29 21:51:54 that could actually sell Aug 29 21:52:08 mgedmin... that xkcd is my fave :) Aug 29 21:56:16 10 make brownies Aug 29 21:56:19 Anybody familiar with NFS want to clean this up? https://wiki.maemo.org/Setting_up_NFS Aug 29 21:56:24 20 eat brownies Aug 29 21:56:31 30 goto 10 Aug 29 21:58:49 Mmmm tapioca-voip Aug 29 22:00:01 while [ (baking == 1) ]; water{mouth} Aug 29 22:02:44 andre___, sooo, guided? Aug 29 22:03:33 GeneralAntilles, :-D After changing the template quite a lot, I'm fine with it Aug 29 22:03:45 I should have been more clear Aug 29 22:04:31 I shouldn't have made it out to be a mutually-exclusive proposition. Aug 29 23:02:58 * GeneralAntilles sighs. Aug 29 23:02:59 https://wiki.maemo.org/Ext2_file_system_on_flash_card_partition Aug 29 23:03:09 He added snarky bullshit instead of a real health warning. Aug 29 23:03:14 I'm STILL in favor of deletion. Aug 29 23:13:37 GeneralAntilles, it was you that edited it and added the warning? Aug 29 23:13:45 good evening by the way Aug 29 23:16:42 it's crap Aug 29 23:17:46 Yes, lcuk. Aug 29 23:17:55 lbt, mind adding your opinion to the talk page? Aug 29 23:18:05 I need a consensus to delete it. Aug 29 23:19:43 grr - my WAN is slow... Aug 29 23:20:47 GeneralAntilles, qgil is right on this: its been contributed - havent you got one of those posh "look here first" header template things? Aug 29 23:23:40 Yes, well, lots of things are contributed but that doesn't automatically make them valid. Aug 29 23:24:23 What would you say if I 'contributed' an article on rm -rfing /? Aug 29 23:24:39 It's been contributed, so it shouldn't be deleted. Aug 29 23:24:41 ? Aug 29 23:25:20 Some articles simply shouldn't exist, and it doesn't help this one's case that its creator can't be bothered to use proper formatting. Aug 29 23:27:03 I mean, I _could_ take the 20 minutes it'd require to turn it into a somewhat less offensive article, but why? Aug 29 23:27:16 What does it 'contribute' to the wiki? Aug 29 23:28:06 A much more broken, less robust, slower, less convenient, and less supported way of installing more applications? Aug 29 23:28:49 The subject sucks, the article sucks, it needs to be deleted. Aug 29 23:33:28 :: It is nice to see new content here but I'm afraid I don't really understand the point of this article or who should be interested in it. Sorry mfrasca. Whilst I'm a "casual style" writer myself I find the "most programs will not work out of the box and you should reinstall them", "it should work" and "other stuff" a bit too vague to be helpful. Actually, I suspect that a lot of people would define that result as 'broken'. http://en. Aug 29 23:33:29 wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?go=Go&search=User:lbt Aug 29 23:34:56 I like that it requires a significantly fuller battery to even BOOT. Aug 29 23:37:29 I *think* he's trying to get it to boot but have /usr on a big partition leaving the rootfs for volatile stuff like /tmp Aug 29 23:38:01 which, AFAIK, is the wrong way round since the MMC cards are faster and if you have one then you want /tmp on the MMC Aug 29 23:38:23 so you just want the boot from external setup Aug 29 23:40:54 tmp is in ram Aug 29 23:42:38 mines on my MMC Aug 29 23:42:57 but you're right, that normally it is Aug 29 23:43:50 anyhow, 'night all Aug 29 23:48:12 hello Aug 29 23:48:43 wow never used xchat over my cell connection lol Aug 30 00:00:33 enjoy the expensiveness of each single bit of data Aug 30 00:06:56 hm... I don't want to store data in the internal memory. but it bugs me that the filebrowser only shows stuff under ~/MyDocs. I tried symlinking to /media/mmc2/mydocs, but then when I plug my tablet via usb I get a 'could not unmount' error Aug 30 00:07:23 I think cloning the entire os would be a waste... is there anything else I could do? Aug 30 00:08:19 gregorovius, I do: mv ~/MyDocs /media/mmc2/MyDocs && ln -s /media/mmc2/Mydocs ~/MyDocs - I don't get a background image upon booting the thing but that's a small compromise to make ;) Aug 30 00:09:35 Pebby: I did individual symlinks (/home/user/MyDocs/.documents, .videos, etc) and I get that error when plugging via usb... does it happen to you as well? Aug 30 00:09:42 emelfm2 Aug 30 00:09:54 Why would cloning be a waste? Aug 30 00:10:07 gregorovius: Nope, but I symlinked the entire dir and not the individual dirs Aug 30 00:10:38 GeneralAntilles: I don't need much more free space, too much hassle when symlinks would do Aug 30 00:10:46 Pebby: I'll try that out and see if it works for me Aug 30 00:10:50 Gives you a nice bootable backup. Aug 30 00:10:59 It's a touch faster, too. Aug 30 00:11:14 what do you do with the internal memory afterwards? Aug 30 00:11:32 Leave it as a bootable backup. Aug 30 00:11:35 sing a lullabye to it? Keep it as a backup OS in case you bork yourself? Aug 30 00:11:45 I'd just install emelfm2, though. Aug 30 00:13:53 emelfm2? Aug 30 00:14:09 I already have MC, isn't it similar? Aug 30 00:14:16 It's GUI Aug 30 00:23:54 another app which isn't in repository Aug 30 00:24:31 pipeline doesn't believe in Extras for some damn reason. Aug 30 00:25:13 can mmc1|2 be ext2|3 or just vfat? Aug 30 00:25:41 It can be whatever you want Aug 30 00:25:55 That's most of the point of mmc booting, having it as ext*. . . . Aug 30 00:26:06 any pros or cons? (besides vfat not supporting symlinks?) Aug 30 00:26:21 Can't mount it on Windows or OS X machines. Aug 30 00:26:33 apps which are not in repository are about to get lost at some point Aug 30 00:27:10 mikkov_, feel free to beat up their maintainers. Aug 30 00:28:02 I just like to show example by putting my work only in extras Aug 30 00:28:13 ls Aug 30 00:28:24 * gregorovius is sorry Aug 30 01:42:33 I keep getting the 'memory card in use' notice Aug 30 01:42:40 when plugging via usb Aug 30 01:43:59 it most likely is in use by something Aug 30 01:46:27 AStorm: I wanted to symlink ~/MyDocs to a folder in a memory card, but then I can't plug via usb Aug 30 01:46:51 don't do that then Aug 30 01:47:04 I suspect ~/MyDocs is used for a few programs as a temp dir Aug 30 01:49:05 Why would you want to do that? Aug 30 01:49:11 Just boot from a card directly Aug 30 01:49:16 That's a lot cleaner. Aug 30 01:56:02 yeah, especially if you want to access it over USB Aug 30 01:56:12 which doesn't work on a mounted filesystem ;P Aug 30 02:25:52 When I turn on my n810, it boots, the blue bar slides 100% to the right, then nothing... Aug 30 02:26:10 Are there any debugging steps I can take, or shall I skip all that time wasting and just reflash? Aug 30 02:28:08 OS 2008 version 4.2008.23-14 is the latest firmware right? Aug 30 02:34:18 Oh well, let's hope the flashing works... :) Aug 30 02:34:45 Bingo, we're back in business :) **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sat Aug 30 02:59:57 2008
