**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed Oct 15 02:59:57 2008 Oct 15 03:40:19 hi lopz Oct 15 03:41:58 heya cars__ Oct 15 03:43:37 How's it going? Oct 15 03:54:08 heheh, everyone's sleeping Oct 15 03:55:23 except west coast america :) Oct 15 04:01:22 night Oct 15 04:40:22 hey, does anyone have a N810 WiMAX here? Oct 15 04:46:13 * RST38h moos Oct 15 04:48:50 hello Oct 15 04:48:56 first time here Oct 15 04:49:21 * rcy too Oct 15 05:03:56 don't feed the goats Oct 15 05:08:33 what kind of tablet do you both have? Oct 15 05:27:26 * summatusmentis has a n810 Oct 15 05:32:44 no one with a n810w (rx-48)? Oct 15 05:33:13 I don't htink they're out yet Oct 15 05:34:03 they are, read that one guy in chicago got his today from nokia Oct 15 05:34:35 oh, I've not heard of anyone who has one Oct 15 05:34:59 yeah, i might be out asking a bit early Oct 15 05:40:43 I am facing this erro why so "sbox-arm-linux-gcc: -linotifytools: linker input file unused because linking not done Oct 15 05:40:43 sbox-arm-linux-gcc: -lcurl: linker input file unused because linking not done Oct 15 05:40:45 sbox-arm-linux-gcc: cannot specify -o with -c or -S and multiple languages Oct 15 05:40:47 " Oct 15 05:44:42 hey i am bulding an application for the nokia n810.. using the scratchbox environment.. the hildon module does not seem to have a grid attribute? can someone tel me wat replaces tat? Oct 15 06:23:45 is anyone using an n810 as a voip phone? a friend just got one, and i want to help him get it working with my asterisk server. looking ideally for an iax2 client that works with it Oct 15 06:23:53 sip would work too, i guess, but is less ideal Oct 15 06:26:59 skype and gizmo(?) are officially supported afaik Oct 15 06:29:14 sip does work with the intergrated chatclient (sofia stuff) Oct 15 06:29:37 and it does work nicely with asterisk, even video does work if you have asterisk 1.6 (but video does have some glitches) Oct 15 06:37:30 gizmo does sip and asterix Oct 15 06:44:23 too on the n810 but no video with asterisk Oct 15 06:52:57 afaik gizmo is the only video solution right now ... as in gizmo -> gizmo Oct 15 06:53:06 amsn apparently can do it too Oct 15 06:53:13 but i think its a complete pain to set up Oct 15 06:54:33 or the built in chat client Oct 15 06:59:07 I thought the built-in chat client could only do audio? Oct 15 06:59:51 no i use gizmo for video calls all the time Oct 15 07:00:31 Oh, I know gizmo can. I Oct 15 07:01:07 skype is only audio Oct 15 07:01:23 and the built in thing (even with rscomm update thing) is only audio Oct 15 07:01:32 ...was thinking of the chat client. Oct 15 07:01:37 right sorry Oct 15 07:01:42 didnt read that bit properly Oct 15 07:01:52 no problem Oct 15 07:03:02 Sorry responses are slow; not used to the on-screen keyboard yet. Oct 15 07:04:55 The built in chat app supports video too, the problem is that there are no 'desktop' apps with jabber and video afaik Oct 15 07:06:01 That's right. I remember reading that now. Oct 15 07:07:07 N8X0 <-> N8X0 should be able to handle audio and video with rtcomm Oct 15 07:07:38 hmmmmm i never managed to get rtcomm doing video Oct 15 07:08:54 I can't seem to get the finger on-screen keyboard to display w/any regularity. Any suggestions? I know the app needs to be full screen (for some reason) Oct 15 07:09:50 morning all Oct 15 07:10:00 Also, I can't install usbcontrol; it says it is incompatibile. Is there an alternate program available that would work with diablo so I can connect a usb keyboard? Oct 15 07:10:35 morning aquatix Oct 15 07:10:54 hey cars__ Oct 15 07:12:50 moontiger, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8XExv3goeAI Oct 15 07:17:20 Morning. Oct 15 07:18:21 Anybody know who painted this picture???? ---> http://jasgordo.googlepages.com/an_fallen_angel_2.jpg/an_fallen_angel_2-custom;size:1999,1999.jpg Oct 15 07:18:30 been trying to find out who did it Oct 15 07:23:24 wow what is it?? Oct 15 07:23:38 looks like a fallen angel Oct 15 07:23:49 oh yah i got it Oct 15 07:23:55 zoomed in and saw it better Oct 15 07:23:59 it's a phot. Oct 15 07:24:00 angel on a rock Oct 15 07:24:02 photo Oct 15 07:43:56 anyone know of any good hard cases (that protect the screen) for the n810? Oct 15 07:44:30 maybe boxwave has one? Oct 15 07:46:57 hrm, they have one -- hard to tell how well it protects the screen Oct 15 07:47:18 after i cracked the screen on my last n810, trying to find somtehing to protect this one Oct 15 07:49:00 how did you crack it? Oct 15 07:49:41 dunno ;/ Oct 15 07:49:52 ah :) Oct 15 07:49:55 the glass is fine but big crack down the lcd Oct 15 07:50:01 ouch Oct 15 07:50:05 yeah Oct 15 07:50:20 want to avoid breaking my new one ;p Oct 15 07:50:44 the screen is glass? Oct 15 07:50:56 *shrug* Oct 15 07:51:54 Glass will not work Oct 15 07:52:38 Touchscreen requires either direct contact or a very thin pressure sensitive layer Oct 15 07:52:57 So, I would suggest either a padded case or at least a leather case Oct 15 07:53:06 given how bad the touchscreen on the n810 is, maybe it is glass Oct 15 07:54:01 it's plastic Oct 15 08:15:10 Morning, all Oct 15 08:15:40 * moontiger waves and yawns Oct 15 08:16:06 <--- getting ready for bed Oct 15 08:18:49 morning Oct 15 08:27:18 xkcd is funny today :) Oct 15 09:20:38 morning Oct 15 09:24:07 beagleboard connection works \o/ Oct 15 09:33:47 Scientists believe the UK ranges of two aggressive alien crustaceans - the North American signal crayfish and the Chinese mitten crab - are beginning to overlap, offering the prospect of an epic battle for supremacy over Britain's waterways. Oct 15 09:34:02 and good morning all Oct 15 09:51:19 RST38h, what about the russian factor: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/travel/holiday_type/food_and_travel/article783553.ece Oct 15 09:51:45 i love the tagline: "Monster crabs are invading Europe. Armed with a jar of mayonnaise, Stephen Bleach steps into battle" Oct 15 09:59:52 _berto_: thanks Oct 15 10:08:20 <_berto_> solmumaha: yr welcome Oct 15 11:18:50 solmumaha: duke is in extras-devel. Still thinking about best way to distribute sw levels Oct 15 11:23:05 mikkov_: thanks a lot, did you create a similar package? Oct 15 11:24:39 solmumaha: It should be almost exactly the same Oct 15 11:25:48 I only changed duke3d.cfg copying from postinst to start script Oct 15 11:25:58 great job, must test it when i get home. you made full or sw version? Oct 15 11:26:20 it's only sw version for now Oct 15 11:27:35 CFLAGS are not the same, it looked like it is using more CPU now. I probably tweak them back Oct 15 11:28:25 well i'm not sure they are correct, don't remember where i grabbed them Oct 15 11:28:37 but it works with 770 without sound with those Oct 15 11:29:29 I had to change them because they were only for ARM and autobuilder builds also for i386 Oct 15 11:30:15 ah, so you need to add some checks to makefile? Oct 15 11:30:20 would it be goof idea if sw levels were optionally downloaded in postinst script? Oct 15 11:30:40 yes Oct 15 11:30:48 CFLAGS are minor issue for now Oct 15 11:32:04 levels can be redistributed but licence requires that all files (exe, etc) are distributed together Oct 15 11:32:51 can you extract the .grp and distribute it with the rest? Oct 15 11:33:16 so if ftp://ftp.3drealms.com/share/3dduke13.zip is downloaded and extracted and unnecessary file are deleted it is ok Oct 15 11:34:11 ah, .SHR is just a zip file Oct 15 11:34:15 so it can be done easily Oct 15 11:34:27 want me to write it? we'd need to depend on zip and wget i guess Oct 15 11:34:46 *unzip Oct 15 11:35:07 if you want to ;) Oct 15 11:36:11 there is maemo-confirm-text which can be used for dialogs Oct 15 11:36:23 yes, i've used it a lot Oct 15 11:37:36 so first question would be if user wants to downloads levels and second question which mmc? Oct 15 11:37:37 check if there's no /media/mmc[1-2]/share/duke3dsw, ask if user wants to dl them, then ask which mmc to use Oct 15 11:37:41 yes :) Oct 15 11:38:03 can you start xterm so that it runs wget? Oct 15 11:39:14 i think you have to do it in background or hidden Oct 15 11:39:32 if [ `gconftool-2 --get /system/osso/af/internal-mmc-device-present` == 'false' ] ; then (for checking mmc) Oct 15 11:41:13 i guess you'd need to check space too Oct 15 11:41:18 you do it! :p Oct 15 11:41:23 someone know mpd build for os2006? Oct 15 11:42:16 hrw: tried sonata? Oct 15 11:42:27 solmumaha: url? Oct 15 11:42:35 isn't it in extras? Oct 15 11:45:42 sonata would probably work with 2008he Oct 15 11:45:43 solmumaha: I ignore hacker editions Oct 15 11:46:19 this 770 has 64mb ram and 64mb card so swap is not an option and 2007/2008 on 64ram is pain Oct 15 11:46:39 gxmms2 would probably compile out of box if you have gregale sdk Oct 15 11:47:19 but that would require some xmms2 packages too Oct 15 11:47:45 you could setup xmms2 and some web frontend and use it with a browser Oct 15 11:53:55 lardman, ping. Oct 15 11:54:39 jott, ping. Oct 15 12:07:02 p.m.o broken? Oct 15 12:08:19 Semi-working here Oct 15 12:09:04 I wish there were a way to disallow all application topping. Oct 15 12:09:31 There's only one case where I want to see an application, and that's when I ask for it. Oct 15 12:10:04 That case does not include times when the application thinks I want to see it. Oct 15 12:10:29 mikkov_: can't you just bundle the duke3d zip and extract and delete it in postinst? Oct 15 12:10:34 it's not that big Oct 15 12:11:59 maybe that's simpler Oct 15 12:12:12 Jaffa: p.m.o? Oct 15 12:12:38 tekojo: planet.maemo.orrg Oct 15 12:13:09 GAN800: yeah, just seems to be the header Oct 15 12:13:46 solmumaha: I'll make a separate duke3dsw-data package Oct 15 12:14:14 Are there any matchbox or Xomap hacks to say "ignore all top requests"? Oct 15 12:14:19 that sounds good Oct 15 12:14:36 and do build the full version too, it's almost identical to sw Oct 15 12:14:38 With a single-window wm like Matchbox, shit topping itself left and right is about the most irritating thing I can imagine. Oct 15 12:15:11 GeneralAntilles: It's been pissing me off more & more. Wouldn't be too bad if the processor was quick enough that I didn't have time to go off and do something else for half an hour whilst the browser loaded. Oct 15 12:15:21 Yeah. :\ Oct 15 12:15:21 solmumaha: yes, I will make full build too when I update the package Oct 15 12:15:34 I love trying to load a page in MicroB, switching to XChat Oct 15 12:15:39 having it switch me back to MicroB Oct 15 12:15:44 switching back to XChat Oct 15 12:16:03 Makes me want to stab my eyes out. Oct 15 12:17:00 I don't even want applications to top themselves when they open. Oct 15 12:30:10 Nice, tablet now refuses to boot. Oct 15 12:34:57 GeneralAntilles, the window manager should just tell them no Oct 15 12:35:10 johnx, can we patch matchbox to make it so? Oct 15 12:35:18 likely Oct 15 12:35:25 other window managers can do it Oct 15 12:35:34 I don't have a patch for you :) Oct 15 12:35:49 heh...maybe just remove support for windows raising themselves? Oct 15 12:39:51 * lcuk_web waves Oct 15 12:40:46 johnx, fsck.ext3 is now segfaulting trying to fix an partition on my 8GB AData card. :\ Oct 15 12:40:59 O_o Oct 15 12:41:01 dmesg? Oct 15 12:41:12 oh, adata Oct 15 12:42:36 * GeneralAntilles sighs. Oct 15 12:43:00 anyone else have experience with adata cards? Oct 15 12:43:03 * johnx is curious Oct 15 12:44:07 GeneralAntilles: its not the 48mhz patch is it Oct 15 12:47:29 No Oct 15 12:47:44 It wouldn't see the card if it were a 48MHz issue. Oct 15 12:48:10 just pondering, arent these things borderline occasionally Oct 15 12:49:05 lcuk_web, I often get that feeling about sd cards as a rule Oct 15 12:49:45 hi, does anyone knows how to grab focus to a gtk widget and makes the virtual keyboard to appear? Oct 15 12:49:47 heh johnx, GeneralAntilles when jott first installed 48mhz patch my card was visible Oct 15 12:49:52 then it burnt in flames Oct 15 12:50:04 and was lost forever as you say Oct 15 12:50:13 in such way the user can start typing as soon as the dialog is drawed in the screen? Oct 15 12:51:53 bbl Oct 15 12:53:44 speaking of focus, does anyone notice that when you disable the address bar in fullscreen mode in the browser, the virtual keyboard vanishes when you press backspace? Oct 15 12:55:16 MangoFusion, do you know if what I'm asking is possible? Oct 15 12:55:41 sorry, no. Oct 15 12:56:20 GeneralAntilles, does dmesg say something exciting? Oct 15 12:56:33 No, nothing interesting as far as I can see. Oct 15 12:57:28 that's actually pretty interesting Oct 15 12:57:49 where does fsck segfault? Oct 15 12:58:26 i_fsize for inode 78397 (...) is 140, should be zero. Clear? yes Segmentation fault Oct 15 12:59:17 heh Oct 15 12:59:27 do you have something else to fsck it with? Oct 15 12:59:37 No. :\ Oct 15 13:00:46 do you have a usb cable and a computer with fsck on it? Oct 15 13:00:55 hint: a mac would work... Oct 15 13:01:03 ext3 support on OS X has never worked right for me Oct 15 13:01:06 USBF: 7495.153 AppleUSBEHCI[0x4733800]::Found a transaction past the completion deadline on bus 0x4b, timing out! (Addr: 14, EP: 2) Oct 15 13:01:09 Says dmesg on my G5. Oct 15 13:01:27 you're not going to use that driver, just let fsck have access to the block device Oct 15 13:02:19 though that looks more low level... Oct 15 13:02:29 I don't think that's an fs thing so much as a device level thing Oct 15 13:03:27 Yeah, I don't think it's listing a device. Oct 15 13:04:58 I don't have a mac here to work along with you and my memory isn't good enough of how *bsd names its devices... Oct 15 13:05:44 Normally they show up in /dev/disk* Oct 15 13:07:00 can you mount the card r/o and recover your stuff, then format? Oct 15 13:07:39 Yeah, I can get the stuff off the FAT partition. Oct 15 13:08:53 but the ext2 part won't even mount? Oct 15 13:09:06 Nope Oct 15 13:09:11 Nothing really important on there anyway. Oct 15 13:09:27 ick Oct 15 13:09:49 hi GeneralAntilles johnx et al Oct 15 13:09:54 hey pupnik810 Oct 15 13:09:55 Hey, pupnik810. Oct 15 13:10:04 GeneralAntilles, when you reformat, use mkfs.ext3 -cc /dev/foo1 Oct 15 13:10:07 or whatever Oct 15 13:10:16 that way it'll run a badblocks check Oct 15 13:10:23 might help in the future Oct 15 13:10:32 I'm switching to my 4GB Transcend Oct 15 13:10:56 gonna junk this card? Oct 15 13:11:07 have you had good luck with transcend? Oct 15 13:12:28 Haven't had any issues Oct 15 13:12:44 Hadn't had any issues with AData until today Oct 15 13:12:46 sooo Oct 15 13:12:52 The 8GB Transcend is just gonna be FAT mass storage. Oct 15 13:20:09 hi Oct 15 13:21:07 is there still some way of recognizing when user is using tablet's touch screen with fingers or stylus? Oct 15 13:21:47 I remember that there was this feature in N800's menu, but N810's menu doesn't anymore work in the same way Oct 15 13:29:09 herwood, do you have the latest version of OS2008? Oct 15 13:37:18 andre___, ping. Oct 15 13:38:01 GeneralAntilles, pong Oct 15 13:38:38 johnx: yea, and I'm using N810 Oct 15 13:38:39 anybody mention / release any playable games / emus lately? Oct 15 13:38:56 i've not kept up Oct 15 13:39:06 johnx: I would be interested in using that kind of feature in my own app Oct 15 13:39:11 if its possible Oct 15 13:39:30 pupnik810, there's a bunch in Extras and Extra-devel. Oct 15 13:39:42 herwood, libxsp (I believe) provides pressure data. From that I guess you can try and guess what's touching the screen Oct 15 13:40:22 that sounds good, thanks for the tip! Oct 15 13:40:31 Good morning. Oct 15 13:40:35 what section? Oct 15 13:40:45 GeneralAntilles.. Oct 15 13:40:49 Games Oct 15 13:40:52 I got one question: is there a ca-certificates package for maemo? Oct 15 13:41:37 Standard Debian one has dependencies (openssl that depends on libc and so on) making it a tough choice. Oct 15 13:43:13 So I imagined that a so basic package (ca-certificates) would be already available for maemo... anyone have a clue? Oct 15 13:45:53 herwood, and if you haven't already found this, this might be helpful, though I don't know if the API has changed since then: https://wiki.maemo.org/Using_touch_screen_pressure_data Oct 15 13:49:18 herwood, its not just based on pressure, but also on "wiggle". when a finger or thumb pad touches the surface the cursor wiggles quickly in a small area keeping the centrepoint as the centre of gravity for the push Oct 15 13:49:36 it should be possible to use standard mouse events to identify this Oct 15 13:49:47 pressure is only one small part of the equation Oct 15 13:58:40 lcuk: so did you mean that it is possible detect the pressing object (either finger or stylus) simply by using standard mouse events? Oct 15 13:58:49 or did I get it wrong? Oct 15 14:03:52 x does get mouse events Oct 15 14:08:04 btw 'mornin' lcuk :) Oct 15 14:09:56 does the tablet recognize finger press by the noise/wiggle in the x/y coordinates? Oct 15 14:11:10 pupnik810: Open the sketch app and press two finders on the screen at the same time with a few cm distance between them. Oct 15 14:11:22 And see the dot appear in the middle of your fingers. Oct 15 14:11:38 *between Oct 15 14:11:59 . Oct 15 14:12:40 It somehow calculates the average of press. Oct 15 14:13:08 or this is a property of the detector Oct 15 14:15:01 anybody working on maemo 4 pandora? Oct 15 14:15:32 pupnik810, you mean getting maemo apps into angstrom or trying to drag os2008 kicking and screaming? Oct 15 14:16:06 dunno how Oct 15 14:16:35 want maemo / itos to become more mainstream Oct 15 14:16:52 ITOS is deprecated. ;) Oct 15 14:16:55 pupnik810, OS2008 is mostly closed in terms of userfacing stuff Oct 15 14:18:05 ya well there should be a build for pandora too Oct 15 14:18:17 call it cheap advertising Oct 15 14:18:27 Better off getting the Hildon desktop environment going on Debian or Ubuntu Oct 15 14:18:34 pupnik810, Nokia loses money on software to sell hardware Oct 15 14:18:39 ah ok Oct 15 14:18:41 GeneralAntilles, that is no small task Oct 15 14:18:55 johnx, did you see qgil's post? Oct 15 14:19:02 after mine? Oct 15 14:19:05 no Oct 15 14:19:20 http://www.internettablettalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=24254 Oct 15 14:19:28 thanks Oct 15 14:19:35 pupnik810, a few people already have Maemo running on the Beagle, anyway. Oct 15 14:19:42 Just need to get the specifics from them. Oct 15 14:24:26 yah Oct 15 14:24:40 ty for link GeneralAntilles Oct 15 14:32:35 * qwerty12 sighs @ #2710 and goes to upload a patch Oct 15 14:45:59 * qwerty12 loves it when a person puts a youtube of a nice application but then nicely uploads it to their svn too :) Oct 15 14:47:52 qwerty12: as in `commits the whole fracking movie to svn'? :) Oct 15 14:48:34 aquatix: Not quite :P . God, when did my English go so bad >.< Oct 15 14:51:21 It's the drugs, man. :P Oct 15 14:52:25 Hehe, me goodbye drugs say :p Oct 15 14:52:33 GeneralAntilles, the licensing catch-22 is depressing :/ Oct 15 14:52:56 hola Oct 15 14:53:08 hackers: "Nokia, open-source stuff!" Nokia: "Hackers, show us a reason!" Oct 15 14:53:24 john, yeah. :\ Oct 15 14:53:33 Maybe we should just threaten them more. Oct 15 14:53:39 with what? Oct 15 14:53:47 Frozen trout wallopings. Oct 15 14:54:26 Set up in front of Nokia HQ with catapults and Linux hackers equipped with frozen trouts. ;) Oct 15 14:54:39 "to retrieve your pandora, please return the enclosed frozen trout with the impression of a Nokia lawyer's face on the side" Oct 15 14:55:06 I mean they waited like 2 years for this thing. assault and battery will pale in comparison Oct 15 14:55:10 I hear the Finns like fish so I guess fish is the way to go. Oct 15 14:56:21 license catch-22? Oct 15 14:56:52 johnx, not enough guarantees, we should require them to return with the source for at least one package before they get their Pandoras. ;) Oct 15 14:57:12 qgil wants us to ignore the EULA and experiment running OS2008 on other hardware. hackers want to see an open license before putting time into a project Oct 15 14:58:55 actually, I guess that's the answer: take the path of least resistance to get OS2008 mostly running on the pandora, then come back to Nokia and ask for some source Oct 15 15:00:29 oops, wrong window Oct 15 15:00:31 oops, wrong window Oct 15 15:00:34 what is pandora? Oct 15 15:00:39 gaming handheld Oct 15 15:00:47 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pandora_(console) Oct 15 15:00:50 Beagle Board in a case. Oct 15 15:01:09 beagleboard in a case, with a nice screen, a little keyboard and some gaming controls Oct 15 15:01:50 I can't see Nokia budging. They provide a retarded environment for their SDK, I can't see them going for the pandora. Oct 15 15:01:52 and pre-installed emulators Oct 15 15:02:37 qwerty12, every time I see a post from qgil I get hopeful, then I remember that he's not on the legal team :/ Oct 15 15:03:56 johnx, sadly, the people who are on our side are already on our side, and those that aren't we can't get to. . . . Oct 15 15:04:01 johnx: I see Nokia's Internet Tablet division and maemo.org (apologies in advance if capitalisation etc is wrong...) as two separate entities. And I have to say, I think of Nokia with the upper hand by far Oct 15 15:04:24 qwerty12, Maemo Software or the hardware division? Oct 15 15:04:27 well, gqil is definitely "Nokia" Oct 15 15:04:39 URLS aren't capitalized. Oct 15 15:04:47 johnx: No, qgil is Maemo Software. Oct 15 15:04:58 Maemo Software: Marketing Oct 15 15:05:02 or something like that Oct 15 15:05:07 timeless: yep Oct 15 15:05:08 ah, ok, thanks Oct 15 15:05:28 marketing manager, open source Oct 15 15:05:29 Maemo Software @ Nokia Oct 15 15:05:31 According to the signature. Oct 15 15:05:45 GeneralAntilles: I don't really see any deviation any more. You have people who put closed source apps in catalogue.tableteer.nokia.com (which is an odd link back to repository.maemo.org/catalogue (or something like that)) Oct 15 15:09:45 qwerty12, deviation between? Oct 15 15:12:39 Hmm, I have no idea what I just said, sorry. I see the hardware division (and it includes software too as shown by agps-ui & icd2 dummy module uploaded without any source) and Maemo Software as two separate entities. Oct 15 15:13:12 Yes, that's correct. Oct 15 15:13:23 * qwerty12 just saw Maemo Software and read it as Maemo Software instead of the literal meaning. *bangs face on desk* Oct 15 15:13:44 s/literal meaning/qwerty's idea of literal meaning Oct 15 15:13:53 pandora is a beagle board in a case? interesting Oct 15 15:14:32 http://openpandora.org Oct 15 15:14:32 guess it makes perfect sense Oct 15 15:14:44 not literally a beagleboard Oct 15 15:15:06 but the same OMAP3, with 128MB RAM/256MB NAND Oct 15 15:15:10 of course, i'm just thinking conceptually Oct 15 15:15:30 I just didn't want to spread misinformation :) Oct 15 15:15:54 hahaha Oct 15 15:17:13 Mostly all it shares with the Beagle is the SoC and PoP Oct 15 15:28:01 hello Oct 15 15:28:14 anybody can help me with osso-wlancond Oct 15 15:28:50 can anyone help me out with osso-wlancond? Oct 15 15:29:10 what's the problem? Oct 15 15:29:29 i am a complete newbie and want to programmetically control wlan interface Oct 15 15:30:47 i have downloaded osso-wlan, osso-wlan-dev and studied the code there Oct 15 15:31:06 there seem to be some functions to control the state but I am not very sure how to use it Oct 15 15:31:23 look at libconic Oct 15 15:31:44 i think with libconic i can scan and do those kind of things Oct 15 15:31:56 but can i control the state of wlan interface with libconic? Oct 15 15:32:07 think so Oct 15 15:32:28 dunno though Oct 15 15:32:42 i dont think so Oct 15 15:33:22 libconic api has conicconnection, conicevent, conicconnectionevent and conicstatistics Oct 15 15:33:35 they only help with connecting and scanning Oct 15 15:34:46 has anyone programmed with osso-wlancond before? Oct 15 15:34:50 dbus can control icd too. On -developers, I posted dbus-send lines to switch the tablet from offline mode to online and vice versa and matan posted some dbus-send lines to specify which network you want to connect to (that is already saved) and something else. Oct 15 15:35:24 ok Oct 15 15:35:36 where can I get those lines, can u direct me? Oct 15 15:36:01 http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/maemo/users/41806 Oct 15 15:37:10 oh, so its a script to be run Oct 15 15:38:35 but can it be used to put the interface in a powersave mode, or to change its power usage in db? Oct 15 15:50:58 Hey... I was thinking of having erminig auto update. I see it can be scripted, but I'm wondering if there's a way to run something upon internet connection instead of just dumb cron Oct 15 15:51:09 dbus-scripts Oct 15 15:51:57 * GAN800 feels like qwerty12 Oct 15 15:52:11 Steady :P Oct 15 15:52:12 So many hacks to rehack after a clean flash. :/ Oct 15 15:52:42 Community edition ftw Oct 15 15:52:51 Yeah Oct 15 15:52:57 I don't see the dbus executable on the tablet, so I guess bash is out of the question Oct 15 15:53:15 qwerty12, now that you have a charger. . . . Oct 15 15:53:38 and since jott seems to be otherwise occupied. Oct 15 15:54:20 But I'm not jott :/ and I don't know a quarter of the stuff that he knows :/ Oct 15 15:54:44 Yeah, but you _are_ qwerty12, and a start's a start. ;) Oct 15 15:56:16 :/ Oct 15 15:56:42 Getting something concrete going will hopefully encourage others to pitch in. Oct 15 15:56:50 Right now, we're just uselessly treading wate.r Oct 15 15:57:49 as always, all discussions end, when we come to the topic of using osso-dbuscond Oct 15 15:58:22 :/ Oct 15 15:58:33 :( Oct 15 15:58:48 GeneralAntilles: True, but I really don't see me kick-starting this. I'm not a programmer (just little hacks here and there) Oct 15 15:59:10 It's all packaging for the time being. Oct 15 16:00:46 qwrety12: where can i get those status/device mode strings that I need to enclose in "" after the d-bus call? Oct 15 16:01:09 sumanta: erm, what dbus call? Oct 15 16:01:26 qwrety12: the link you directed me to Oct 15 16:01:54 usr/bin/dbus-send --system --type=signal /com/nokia/mce/signal com.nokia.mce.signal.sig_device_mode_ind string:"flight" Oct 15 16:02:24 qwrety12: here you used string "flight", how can i get a list of this type of strings that I can use Oct 15 16:02:36 Oh, those. I just sniffed that out with dbus-monitor --system and setting the tablet to offline while dbus-monitor was running Oct 15 16:02:45 oh ok Oct 15 16:03:13 isnt there any doc or manual? Oct 15 16:03:49 solmumaha: ping Oct 15 16:04:15 sorry? Oct 15 16:04:59 sumanta: libconic header file Oct 15 16:06:25 or maybe in mce-dev Oct 15 16:06:34 melmoth: can libconic control the interface? i think it can only help us with connectin and scanning Oct 15 16:06:49 yep /usr/include/mce/mode-names.h Oct 15 16:07:00 oh thanks Oct 15 16:07:14 qwerty12: pong Oct 15 16:07:30 * GAN800 wants and advanced-connectivity. Oct 15 16:07:35 s/and/an/ Oct 15 16:09:14 solmumaha: knots doesn't happen to keep a log file anywhere? I'm trying to stream Don't mess with the zohan as a test (being the only thing on the linux partition) and knots on the tablet goes back to the file list after 10 seconds after choosing it (and I don't get no video). vlc on the desktop is playing it fine Oct 15 16:10:37 ~./config/knots/knots.log or just stop it and run with ./knots stick Oct 15 16:10:58 is it 0.9.x vlc? Oct 15 16:11:23 Yep, 0.9.4 compiled from ubuntu intrepid sources y/day :) Oct 15 16:12:20 Hmm, can't make heads nor tails of it: http://slexy.org/view/s2ldFx7kMu Oct 15 16:12:27 ah, did you grab it today? Oct 15 16:12:30 Yep Oct 15 16:13:00 try running ./scripts/update again Oct 15 16:13:52 Ah, I see I now have knots_0.2.9.deb in cli, let me update the client :) Oct 15 16:14:26 i made a little oops today Oct 15 16:15:46 Arrgh, still doing it :/. Let me check if I'm running another copy in the background :/ Oct 15 16:44:31 * peteblack is away: I'm away Oct 15 16:56:19 * peteblack is back (gone 00:11:48) Oct 15 16:58:34 X-Fade, did you see the multitouch thing i left you Oct 15 17:39:15 johnx, Eero says disabling the topping at the wm level will totally break everything. Oct 15 17:39:38 I wonder why some WMs can get away with it Oct 15 17:40:11 http://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3557#c13 Oct 15 17:40:17 Yeah, I dunno. :\ Oct 15 17:51:33 GeneralAntilles, he's probably right. the focus stealing prevention in other WMs probably relies on guessing whether the raise request was related to something the user did or whether it was generated by the app :/ Oct 15 18:04:59 yerga, any chance you could support Midgard with Maemo WordPy? ;) Oct 15 18:05:31 Which, just as a heads up, is a trademark violation for Nokia. Oct 15 18:19:03 GeneralAntilles: I think midgard also supports the weblog api. Oct 15 18:19:34 GeneralAntilles: And Wordpy for Maemo would be better, I guess. Oct 15 18:21:28 Yeah, WordPy for Maemo would be compliant. Oct 15 18:21:46 quick ui question: why dont we just put the osk button next to the ctrl button? Oct 15 18:22:43 X-Fade, that was a mostly facetious question, good to hear that it might actually be workable. Oct 15 18:25:19 GeneralAntilles: I know, but you might be surprised ;) Oct 15 18:30:51 How do I modify the icons on the left portion of the screen (web, contacts, applications)? Oct 15 18:32:07 replace them with something else? or edit the menus? Oct 15 18:35:02 johnx - that is what I am wondering, it seems the theme controls what icons to use, but I checked all the theme images and non of them were what was displayed Oct 15 18:35:30 ah, just the actual picture Oct 15 18:37:44 yes Oct 15 18:39:03 I'm sure it must be the theme that controls it Oct 15 18:39:35 have you tried dissecting a theme that changes the icon? Oct 15 18:39:45 it's separate to the theme. i can't remember file names tho. i'll dig it up Oct 15 18:40:53 ah, right, I remember all those .debs that change it for you and then don't really change it back Oct 15 18:43:28 /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/hildon/qgn_grid_tasknavigator_* Oct 15 18:44:05 ofc, more than 3 files that begin with that but should be easy to figure what is what :) Oct 15 18:45:29 qwerty12_N800, :) thanks, im investigating and following up now its reproducable Oct 15 18:46:45 * johnx sleeps Oct 15 18:47:04 lcuk, no problems :). just out of question, have you tried it on a tablet without 36-5 update? Oct 15 18:49:41 anyone using their n8x0 for a media player? What's the battery life like? Oct 15 18:49:45 qwerty12_N800 - how does the theme.xml file reference what files to use? Oct 15 18:50:00 nvm, got it Oct 15 18:50:33 qwerty12_N800, no, but ive got a lead im following Oct 15 18:50:53 ok, cool Oct 15 18:50:55 * mgedmin does, and dunno Oct 15 18:51:02 enough to walk to work and back while listening to music Oct 15 18:51:28 not enough for 2-hour plane flight followed by 1 hour in the airport followed by a 11-hour plane flight Oct 15 18:52:00 * mgedmin would guess somewhere around 5 hours Oct 15 18:52:11 so... 5 hours? Oct 15 18:52:24 haha, beat me Oct 15 18:52:40 well, now we have two estimates Oct 15 18:52:51 which are surprisingly close Oct 15 18:53:05 :-/ that's kinda low Oct 15 18:53:27 yes Oct 15 18:54:01 reading ebooks with fbreader: 7 hours Oct 15 18:54:09 walking around with gps on: 3 hours Oct 15 18:54:13 if not less Oct 15 18:54:29 I might just have to get an ipod touch, and keep my n810 for hacking Oct 15 18:54:45 I've been in the 10-hour range with mp3s and screen off. Oct 15 18:54:54 also, I tend to recharge as soon as the battery indicator stops showing 100% Oct 15 18:55:12 so my estimates are rather conservative Oct 15 18:55:30 I've even been in the 4/5 hours range with gps and screen on... Oct 15 18:55:33 * mgedmin would like to get an ipod shuffle for music, but Apple doesn't want to give one to him Oct 15 18:56:04 shuffle isn't big enough for me Oct 15 18:56:30 heh, smallness is its selling point Oct 15 18:56:40 although I suppose you mean the capacity rather than physical size Oct 15 18:56:57 right, capacity Oct 15 18:59:44 I like the openness of maemo, and I'd love to use it for everything... Battery life makes it not terribly feasible :-( Oct 15 19:01:48 at least it's better than a laptop's battery life Oct 15 19:02:07 * mgedmin sighs and wishes for magical new battery tech Oct 15 19:02:59 true. Maybe I can justify keeping it as a mini computer :) Oct 15 19:03:35 mgedmin: what about an olpc crank ? :) Oct 15 19:20:07 liqbase: first run flickering is reproducable at 800*480 only, at 640*480 i get no flickering at all. i can switch between 640*480 no flicker and 800*480 flicker within the app and show difference, however this is ONLY on first run Oct 15 19:20:26 does anyone have any 800*480 movies? Oct 15 19:21:15 lcuk: look here http://www.blender.org/ Oct 15 19:22:45 there's a 854x480 sized variant of "big buck bunny" :) Oct 15 19:22:59 zap, out of question, did you ever try a g_ether.ko from 2.6.18 in 2.6.21? Oct 15 19:26:49 qwerty12_N800: yes Oct 15 19:27:02 the problem is not in g_ether, but in the OMAP OTG driver Oct 15 19:27:05 zap, thanks Oct 15 19:27:10 ah, ok, thanks zap Oct 15 19:27:27 qwerty12_N800: the OTG driver from 2.6.18 is uncompilable on 2.6.21 Oct 15 19:27:51 yeah, i saw that when i tried :/ Oct 15 19:28:55 the UDC driver for OTG is quite huge :-\ Oct 15 19:29:04 err... for OMAP Oct 15 19:29:48 i've used g_serial in windows, but g_ether would be nice Oct 15 19:29:58 lcuk: embedding a video player into your app? :) Oct 15 19:30:59 no zap Oct 15 19:31:12 i want to test if mplayer suffers from the same glitch at 800*480 first run Oct 15 19:31:16 it could be a longterm bug Oct 15 19:31:45 but by default mplayer opens at res required and i cant find or know of any actual fullscreen video files Oct 15 19:32:46 if i can get time, i'll dump my mtdblock4 and try liqbase on a pre 36-5 tablet Oct 15 19:33:29 qwerty12_N800, doesnt matter for now i dont think - its a problem with people now Oct 15 19:44:19 * lcuk made his own movie at 800*480 Oct 15 19:44:40 ~lart bugzilla.gnome.org Oct 15 19:44:40 * infobot whips out a sword and chops bugzilla.gnome.org in half Oct 15 20:21:58 GeneralAntilles, I think would be easy to do Oct 15 20:22:17 Midgard supports the metaweblog api Oct 15 20:22:57 and wordpress is using metaweblog with steroids Oct 15 20:23:28 so wordpy practically has the infrastructure to post to midgard Oct 15 20:23:35 just some fixes Oct 15 20:54:45 ping moontiger Oct 15 20:55:24 melmoth :) Oct 15 20:55:26 hi Oct 15 20:55:28 hola Oct 15 20:55:37 I just received your mail. Oct 15 20:55:37 i just emailed u Oct 15 20:55:39 he Oct 15 20:55:47 Commit as much as you want in the server direcrtory Oct 15 20:55:49 it s yours :) Oct 15 20:55:56 ok coolio thnx :) Oct 15 20:56:04 if you feel like changin stuff elsewhere, please do that in a separate branch Oct 15 20:56:05 i should have somrething to play with very soon Oct 15 20:56:14 http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.0/ch04s07.html Oct 15 20:56:16 wont touch anything else until we talk about it Oct 15 20:56:32 i ll do the same (commit in a separate branch) if i feel like changing stuf fin the server dir Oct 15 20:56:42 so then it will be up to the "owner" of a dir to merge stuff or not Oct 15 20:57:02 ok cool ... im not 100% with svn branches and stuff but i guess i should learn Oct 15 20:57:07 GeneralAntilles: maybe the whole discussion should be "is it possible to rebuild maemo from scratch without the nokia pieces, so it's functional enough to start supporting your own platform"? Oct 15 20:57:19 nokia closed pieces, that is Oct 15 20:57:35 * moontiger sticks the nokia logo back on Oct 15 20:57:49 svn branches are really easy to create. Merging may be more tricky if other changes occured in the source Oct 15 20:57:55 right Oct 15 20:58:05 i will just focus on the server for now until thats good to go Oct 15 20:58:14 then we can look at everything and see whats next Oct 15 20:58:23 yop. Oct 15 20:58:25 :) Oct 15 20:58:44 and i *really* want to learn more dbus stuff when i get time Oct 15 20:58:44 I think next things will be not to record every sinigle gps fix, i m not sure how fast will it eat memory. Oct 15 20:58:51 right Oct 15 20:58:55 i thought about that Oct 15 20:59:00 * mgedmin recommends http://mg.pov.lt/eazysvn/ for less finger-wearing svn branch merging Oct 15 20:59:06 i can make the server only keep the last 10 or 20 Oct 15 20:59:18 i am afraid there is a leak somewhere, but i was not able to find where exactly. I think it s related to the device status change Oct 15 20:59:23 Stskeeps, well, what've you got by then? Oct 15 20:59:29 A desktop environment and a few applications? Oct 15 20:59:50 GeneralAntilles: indeed Oct 15 20:59:51 melmoth, dont keep anything on the device Oct 15 20:59:56 send it all to the server Oct 15 20:59:59 GeneralAntilles: because most maemo apps.. depends on nokia pieces Oct 15 21:00:07 which means maemo and nokia aren't seperable :P Oct 15 21:00:15 mhh, i think we can store quite a lot on the server, i was afraid of the limit on the tablet :) I think on the server this should be changeable by the server owner. Oct 15 21:00:24 right Oct 15 21:00:25 and data about to be removed should be send to the user by mail Oct 15 21:00:37 10 or 20 can be a default but any limit within reason is ok Oct 15 21:00:44 nothing is ketp on the device. It is stored, untill a connexion is up, then it is send Oct 15 21:00:51 ok i see Oct 15 21:01:02 but if there are 4 hours of gps, 2 days in a row, without connexion, i wonder what will happen Oct 15 21:01:17 maybe only keep 10 or 20 data points for each Oct 15 21:01:21 until u can upload Oct 15 21:01:23 when the device states that the aplication must save its data , it is saved in /tmp/positions.txt Oct 15 21:01:36 right Oct 15 21:01:46 of course ... shutdown notifications etc Oct 15 21:02:30 Well, then should our focus be on pushing people away from Nokia-specific dependencies and towards more compatible practices? Oct 15 21:03:08 melmoth, also maybe look at the timestamp of the last update and limit to only so many per hour or whatever? Oct 15 21:03:17 that was my thought, but that may also hinder platform development cos there's not many alternatives to stuff like libconic, gps libs, etc.. not sure how open they are Oct 15 21:03:32 yep, i think that s what i ll do. Oct 15 21:03:41 i first have to see how fast does it fill. Oct 15 21:03:43 Stskeeps, surely once we know the chip used in the gps we can get a driver for it? Oct 15 21:03:48 right Oct 15 21:03:56 moontiger: oh, problem isn't the driver, it's the libs people use to access with Oct 15 21:04:07 GeneralAntilles: maybe simply making a statistics on how dependant the apps are on properitary pieces Oct 15 21:04:08 i thought it was gpsd? Oct 15 21:04:20 gpsd is pretty damn open. ;) Oct 15 21:04:24 right Oct 15 21:04:24 alright, my bad Oct 15 21:04:28 :) Oct 15 21:05:04 Stskeeps, I think the osv-c effort would help expose some of these failure points. Oct 15 21:05:08 *nod* Oct 15 21:05:18 but taking a apt dependancy tree and mark "tainted" packages Oct 15 21:05:23 could be interesting Oct 15 21:05:28 Yeah Oct 15 21:06:07 "your app depends 15% closed source packages" Oct 15 21:06:55 u know ive been in the hal channel for the last few days and nobody talks Oct 15 21:07:11 \its like they have all achieved a state of zen esp or something Oct 15 21:07:13 'cause dave pulled out all the memory modules Oct 15 21:07:17 and communicate without words Oct 15 21:07:19 ascended, eh? Oct 15 21:07:27 they r waiting for a callback. Oct 15 21:07:31 hahaha Oct 15 21:07:38 i didnt register an event handler Oct 15 21:09:58 try writing to them in HAL API Oct 15 21:10:44 hahaha Oct 15 21:10:53 use dbus-send Oct 15 21:11:20 listen to secret messages with dbus-monitor Oct 15 21:12:03 time to sleep over here. good night maemo ! Oct 15 21:12:38 night melmoth Oct 15 21:12:40 :) Oct 15 21:14:35 i tried dbus-send --dest=channel Oct 15 21:14:39 and it worked :) Oct 15 21:15:42 hehe Oct 15 21:18:28 brb Oct 15 21:19:07 * Stskeeps heads off to sleep too, exam in "specification of it systems" tommorow :( Oct 15 21:19:09 ~curse MIPS again just because it is never enough Oct 15 21:19:10 May the fleas of a thousand camels infest your most sensitive regions, MIPS again just because it is never enough ! Oct 15 21:53:22 autobuilder queue manager is flawed Oct 15 21:53:40 join #RHEL Oct 15 21:53:48 oops Oct 15 21:53:50 :) Oct 15 21:54:08 it takes every five minutes ONE package for building Oct 15 21:54:28 are the autobuilder scripts public? Oct 15 21:54:31 i.e. can we submit patches? Oct 15 21:54:41 mgedmin, of course. Oct 15 21:54:51 http://extras-cauldron.garage.maemo.org/ Oct 15 21:54:58 Bugzilla is a good route for patches. Oct 15 21:55:05 there are 3 builders, but when one package takes 1 minute to build, builders are idling and queue get longer.. Oct 15 21:55:14 Or just harass X-Fade. Oct 15 21:55:40 what was the name of that package that checked for packages used for building a deb? Oct 15 21:56:00 dpkg-checkbuilddeps Oct 15 21:56:13 but it doesn't work for me though Oct 15 21:56:13 if he gets harassed any more, he may commit harakiri Oct 15 21:56:22 I got it to work once, somehow Oct 15 21:56:49 mikkov_, do you have devscripts installed? Oct 15 21:57:00 sleep. Oct 15 21:57:01 for me it doesn't work because strace segfaults on my machine Oct 15 21:57:18 qwerty12_N80O: yep Oct 15 21:57:19 ah, for me, i was missing devscripts Oct 15 21:57:38 no, that's not the one I meant Oct 15 21:57:53 something else? Oct 15 21:57:53 dpkg-depcheck, that's what Oct 15 21:57:58 dpkg-depcheck -m dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -b Oct 15 21:58:19 will install a LD_PRELOAD hook and track all the files opened during the build process, then prints out the package names Oct 15 21:58:32 helps you construct the build-depends line in debian/control Oct 15 21:58:42 a bit faster than playing ping-pong with the autobuilder Oct 15 21:58:46 actually I meant to say dpkg-genbuilddeps... Oct 15 21:59:07 cool Oct 15 21:59:22 it's a wrapper around dpkg-depcheck Oct 15 21:59:53 yeah, just remembered Oct 15 22:00:34 I get "resume: ptrace(PTRACE_SYSCALL, ...): No such process" with it Oct 15 22:01:03 and some more crap and then it hangs Oct 15 22:02:12 I wish we had a way to change background programmatically. Oct 15 22:09:46 change background image path at /home/user/.osso/hildon-desktop/home-background.conf and restart hildon-desktop ;) Oct 15 22:10:54 mikkov_, need something better. Oct 15 22:11:04 I want to have it cycle the image every 24 hours. Oct 15 22:11:10 Cleanly Oct 15 22:12:53 An external program would be needed, it doesn't have an dbus interface. The nice thing is that code for hildon background manager is in hildon-desktop Oct 15 22:16:15 k, i lied, it does use dbus, can't see how it sets an image though Oct 15 22:20:06 http://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3030 Oct 15 22:32:22 With an X pixmap ID, of course. Oct 15 22:39:32 uhhh. New parser. 'With an X pimpmap ID, of course'. Oct 15 22:46:14 But yeah, it looks like you'd have to have a daemon running to intercept that DBUS call, log the pixmap ID, and then draw directly to the pixmap and force a window repaint somehow, and then hope hildon desktop doesn't invoke one of its 18 ways to reload what _it_ thinks the background image is. Oct 15 22:46:52 Because there appears to be no way to change that value externally short of restarting hildon-desktop. Oct 15 23:04:45 . Oct 15 23:09:37 ; Oct 15 23:14:09 how come minigpsd seems to work better than gpds, Oct 15 23:14:21 gpsd Oct 16 00:23:21 anyone heard anything about beagle boards with more memory? Oct 16 00:23:27 coming out? ever? Oct 16 00:34:39 Pavlov, the Beagle guys are interested in shipping a 256MB RAM PoP with no NAND. Oct 16 00:34:46 They haven't actually shipped one yet, though. Oct 16 00:35:10 If it's likely to happen, it seems likely that it'll be sometime in the next 3-4 months. Oct 16 00:35:22 #beagle is really the better place for Beagle Board-related questions, though. ;) Oct 16 00:35:55 * Pavlov tries that out Oct 16 00:35:56 ;) Oct 16 00:36:03 oh i'm there too Oct 16 00:36:17 Though they tend to be active mostly during business hours. Oct 16 00:36:41 k cool Oct 16 00:42:00 Hey guys, small question. I have a 770 and bluetooth compatible cellphone. I want to do so that I could send SMS messages through my 770 (that is, compose on there and have my phone send it). I've searched forums and saw a few ways of doing it. Oct 16 00:42:14 What's the most recommended and possible simplest/foolproof way to achieve this? Oct 16 00:43:43 your question assumes there is one Oct 16 00:43:52 * mgedmin tried PhoneLink, but had no luck with it Oct 16 00:44:03 Yeah PhoneLink was one of the first choices there. Oct 16 00:44:18 I just wanted to get your opinions because it doesn't seem like they're actively distributing it for OS2006. Oct 16 00:44:41 Certain phones aren't compatible with the SMS sending. But I've just tried it out with my Mac and this software and it worked. Oct 16 00:44:54 Meaning that now I just need to find software on the 770-end of the equation. Oct 16 00:50:02 Speaking of which... Oct 16 00:50:10 Do you think that OS2008 is viable on the 770? Oct 16 00:50:29 there's a hacker's edition Oct 16 00:50:33 personally I wouldn't risk it Oct 16 00:50:35 yes I know. Oct 16 00:50:41 I used to run it but it was terribly slow. Oct 16 00:50:43 Works fine for me. Oct 16 00:50:46 but then I'm rather conservative when it comes to software Oct 16 00:50:50 Now I'm reading some forum threads and people say that it works "fine" Oct 16 00:50:55 GeneralAntilles: What about the speed? Oct 16 00:51:10 mgedmin: I can't stand the stability in OS2006 and I want access to newer software. Oct 16 00:51:30 Eh, I cut my teeth on OS2005. ;) Oct 16 00:51:47 With MMC booting, a 48MHz kernel and swap it wasn't too bad. Oct 16 00:51:47 Would you recommend upgrading the OS? Oct 16 00:51:52 What's your performance like. Oct 16 00:52:07 Admittedly, I don't use my OS2008HE 770 as a primary device. Oct 16 00:52:08 Do you have any tutorial links for the 48MHz kernel? Oct 16 00:52:19 There's a thread on itT by bunanson Oct 16 00:52:22 Should be easy to find. Oct 16 00:52:25 So should I assume that it's still terribly slow? Oct 16 00:52:42 Eh Oct 16 00:52:44 It really depends on your threshold for slow. Oct 16 00:52:49 I find it to be acceptable Oct 16 00:52:51 others may not Oct 16 00:53:01 Is it similar to browsing on OS2006, though? Oct 16 00:53:07 OS2006 loads a page in about 5 seconds. Oct 16 00:53:09 OS2007HE is a reasonable compromise between OS2008HE and OS2006. Oct 16 00:53:28 When I tried out 2008 and even 2007 some time ago (unoptimized, though) it took me about 15 seconds to load a page. Oct 16 00:56:37 I don't understand the MMC thing. Oct 16 00:56:46 So the flash card is supposedly faster than the built-in flash? Oct 16 00:57:04 At the very least, it isn't running a compressed filesystem. Oct 16 00:57:16 oh, and it normally is? Oct 16 00:57:30 jffs2 is compressed. Oct 16 00:57:34 But I'm presuming that the default 64MB card isn't enough then. Oct 16 00:57:45 No Oct 16 00:57:52 How much do I need/want? Oct 16 00:58:02 1GB is about right Oct 16 00:58:06 or 2GB if you can find one cheap enough Oct 16 00:58:10 wow that much? Oct 16 00:58:26 and most importantly... where do I find MMC memory... Oct 16 00:58:34 The internet Oct 16 00:58:54 yeah but shipping costs = teh fail Oct 16 00:59:03 Eh Oct 16 00:59:14 Buy yourself a couple new harddrives off newegg while you're getting the card or something Oct 16 00:59:20 I'm in Canada. Oct 16 00:59:26 We don't have good retailers such as newegg. Oct 16 00:59:28 newegg ships to Canad. ;) Oct 16 00:59:35 Yes but pricing is terrible. Oct 16 00:59:36 s/Canad/Canada/ Oct 16 00:59:36 GeneralAntilles meant: newegg ships to Canada. ;) Oct 16 00:59:39 Way more expensive than retailers here. Oct 16 00:59:51 because they charge for customs and stuff Oct 16 01:00:46 If the card is too expensive, you might just as well try to find yourself a used N800. Oct 16 01:00:57 The N800 is lightyears ahead of the 770. Oct 16 01:01:17 sd cards are like $30 for 8gb Oct 16 01:01:26 Pavlov: Not SD. MMC. Oct 16 01:01:30 oh Oct 16 01:01:32 I got tons of SD cards in my house. Oct 16 01:01:41 yeah Oct 16 01:02:01 1GB DV RS MMC MEMORY Oct 16 01:02:07 The heck does DV and RS stand for. Oct 16 01:02:12 Reduced Size Oct 16 01:02:18 Is that what I want? Oct 16 01:02:20 Probably dual voltage Oct 16 01:02:21 Yes Oct 16 01:05:56 a n8x0 is worth it Oct 16 01:06:01 yes Oct 16 01:06:03 I mean no Oct 16 01:06:04 wait Oct 16 01:06:06 heh Oct 16 01:06:07 worth it for what? Oct 16 01:06:15 mine was worth it Oct 16 01:06:21 but yours might not be Oct 16 01:06:25 Worth it over the 770. Oct 16 01:06:42 * mgedmin tired and not comprehensible Oct 16 01:07:03 cpu and ram size alone are worth the switch Oct 16 01:07:55 Yeah but I got better places for my money to go at the moment. Oct 16 01:08:00 And the 770 works for what it does. Oct 16 01:08:04 Minus the small annoyances. Oct 16 01:08:31 one word "KEYBOARD" Oct 16 01:08:33 !!! Oct 16 01:08:33 Proteous: Error: "!!" is not a valid command. Oct 16 01:08:40 !!ERROR Oct 16 01:08:41 Proteous: Error: "!ERROR" is not a valid command.

Oct 16 01:09:33 No useful free apps, and don't feel like paying for an app that a teen did when he was bored. Oct 16 01:09:46 just say no to bored teen apps Oct 16 01:09:51 mgedmin, any chance you could switch povbot's trigger? Oct 16 01:09:53 Just saying, I prefer OSS. Oct 16 01:10:02 povbot, do you want me to switch your trigger? Oct 16 01:10:02 mgedmin: Error: "do" is not a valid command. Oct 16 01:10:03 My plan is to wait for the N810 prices to go down. Oct 16 01:10:09 It's about 370$ right now. Oct 16 01:10:25 $360 in amazon; someone said he saw it for $340 somewhere else Oct 16 01:10:27 I got mine open box from amazon for $325 Oct 16 01:10:39 Why wait for N810? Oct 16 01:10:40 370 at Tigerdirect.ca Oct 16 01:10:42 besides missing the USB cable it was perfect Oct 16 01:10:43 N800 is cheap now. Oct 16 01:10:53 no KEYBOARD!!!! Oct 16 01:10:54 GeneralAntilles: yeah but N810 has some nice features Oct 16 01:10:59 KEYBOARDDDDDDDD Oct 16 01:11:03 like the keyboard, outside screen, GPS, etc. Oct 16 01:11:11 GPS sucks Oct 16 01:11:12 And I hate how the N800 looks. Oct 16 01:11:13 keyboard rules Oct 16 01:11:17 N800 actually has storage Oct 16 01:11:18 n810 is pretty, that's true Oct 16 01:11:20 mgedmin: Better than no GPS. Oct 16 01:11:27 are there any articles on disassembling an n810 Oct 16 01:11:28 Paulius: agreed Oct 16 01:11:31 you don't have to use it Oct 16 01:11:35 (but you have to pay for it) Oct 16 01:11:44 whodat: I assume a large hammer would suffice Oct 16 01:11:47 There are times when I wish I had a GPS. Oct 16 01:11:49 Even if it's crappy. Oct 16 01:11:59 That's what Bluetooth GPS units are for. Oct 16 01:12:02 mgedmin: word Oct 16 01:12:06 the GPS is so bad I'm manually tracking my position in the maemo mapper Oct 16 01:12:14 GeneralAntilles: Well that's an extra cost. Oct 16 01:12:14 from the airport/bus station/whatever Oct 16 01:12:15 Way, way better than the N810's built-in chip. Oct 16 01:12:22 Paulius, yeah, so's an N810. :\ Oct 16 01:12:28 I'm not an american, I don't buy shit just because it's cheap or that I might need in the future. Oct 16 01:12:42 :rolleyes: Oct 16 01:12:42 I'm not an american Oct 16 01:12:49 I buy shit because it's awesome and I have spare cash Oct 16 01:16:49 lol, very nice n810 docking station: http://bu3sch.de/n810.php Oct 16 01:18:20 and didn't know the n810 had a serial port Oct 16 01:18:48 !!!
