**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri Feb 20 02:59:58 2009 Feb 20 03:09:41 johnx: yo :P Feb 20 03:15:56 * GeneralAntilles gets a serial console on his N800. Feb 20 03:16:16 Hi, rm_you. Feb 20 03:16:47 heyhey Feb 20 03:16:49 so Feb 20 03:17:06 apparently I get to have dinner with RMS in April O_o Feb 20 03:17:13 which is sweet Feb 20 03:17:19 lol Feb 20 03:17:27 Tell him he's a crazy person? Feb 20 03:17:31 lol Feb 20 03:19:07 i don't think he's crazy :P he's just an idealist, and maybe a bit of a zealot, but we need both of those qualities Feb 20 03:19:17 and i agree with him pretty much 100% Feb 20 03:19:21 Crazy as crazy gets. Feb 20 03:19:43 and not very useful for convincing the corporate types of your point of view. Feb 20 03:20:01 GeneralAntilles: did you get the right connector or you just soldered it? Feb 20 03:20:53 as a user of software, I like RMS's ideas Feb 20 03:20:55 ds3, I stole a couple of connectors from some old 286 machines at work. Feb 20 03:21:11 What kind? Feb 20 03:21:18 as a creator of software, I agree with RMS's ideas Feb 20 03:21:25 holding 3 wires on clip lead gets old quick :D Feb 20 03:21:36 ds3, the right kind, I guess. Feb 20 03:21:38 Everex? Feb 20 03:21:48 Hmm Feb 20 03:22:00 I am about to recycle an old 286, I should look first Feb 20 03:22:15 GeneralAntilles: did you get JTAG working on the other pins? Feb 20 03:22:48 Don't have any JTAG equipment. Feb 20 03:22:53 oh Feb 20 03:23:03 Hehe, we're having two different discussions here, I think. Feb 20 03:23:19 I got a serial console from my Beagle with a USB-to-serial adaptor plugged into my N800. Feb 20 03:23:29 Not a serial console FROM my N800. Feb 20 03:23:30 Sorry. ;) Feb 20 03:24:30 OH :PPP Feb 20 03:24:56 the pins on the back near the battery are console, it is just finding the right connector! Feb 20 03:25:09 ds3, you'll have to build your own. Feb 20 03:25:30 I was hoping there is a standard one available somewhere Feb 20 03:25:37 anyways... back to dreaming Feb 20 03:25:40 Nokia presumably has a custom rig that you set the device into which connects the serial console and the USB pins and likely some sort of power supply. Feb 20 03:26:07 A mounting kit like this is the only real solution: http://www.bu3sch.de/n810.php Feb 20 04:03:10 Stskeeps: Sorry, I'm down with the flu, I'm home and can test when I'm not in bed... PM if you have something I can test for you. Feb 20 04:23:16 stupid garage! Feb 20 04:27:58 * b-man yawns Feb 20 05:22:44 the latest nm-applet available for mer/ubuntu is broken Feb 20 05:23:04 hmm Feb 20 05:23:21 it's working for me.. Feb 20 05:23:24 this morning, I thoguht it was my xubuntu install Feb 20 05:23:51 bman, which window manager are u using? Feb 20 05:24:01 metacity Feb 20 05:24:08 (gnome) Feb 20 05:24:34 hm Feb 20 05:24:36 I just did a fresh install of mer. then apt update, upgrade, then dist-upgrade. Feb 20 05:24:41 new fray cd only has 10 songs? Feb 20 05:24:48 nm-applet wouldn't start Feb 20 05:24:53 these artists nowadays just aren't trying heh Feb 20 05:24:57 same as xfce Feb 20 05:25:27 did you have any luck with ubuntu by any chance? Feb 20 05:25:38 bman, can you apt-get update and see if anew version of network-manager is available for u? Feb 20 05:25:50 * b-man16 is making an installer Feb 20 05:26:02 shure Feb 20 05:26:04 I didn't try it today Feb 20 05:26:22 but, i was using network-manager-gnome Feb 20 05:26:37 in hildon and xfce Feb 20 05:27:14 also, how did you get around gnome-keyring-manager problems Feb 20 05:27:46 it was running 100% cpu in xfce and no ability to kill it. Feb 20 05:28:14 100%? 0_o hmm Feb 20 05:28:38 stskeeps said they had to include a fix in start-hildon to prevent that. Feb 20 05:28:54 apparently, it doesn't occur for you...? Feb 20 05:29:09 it made xfce crawl...so you'd know it Feb 20 05:29:21 i'm mainly using ubuntu atm Feb 20 05:29:59 (but i'm not having cpu problems, even with full ubuntu-desktop) Feb 20 05:30:07 yeah. I wonder if one of their packages causes it, if the rootstrap install doesn't have the problem Feb 20 05:30:52 xfce was slow with everything imaginable unloaded. but the keyring manager was going crazy Feb 20 05:30:53 maemo-launcher? Feb 20 05:31:12 not sure Feb 20 05:31:41 i'll try a debootstrap install next to test for it Feb 20 05:32:14 is it slow with swap enabled? Feb 20 05:32:23 i'm wanting to compile e17, Feb 20 05:32:27 yeah Feb 20 05:32:37 that was a whole other issue Feb 20 05:33:19 had to fix swap because it has my external and internal devices reversed in ubuntu/mer Feb 20 05:33:34 mmcblk0p1 was my external Feb 20 05:33:47 instead of mmcblk1p1 Feb 20 05:34:14 * b-man16 doesn't have that problem, supringly Feb 20 05:34:23 had to fix it in fstab. Feb 20 05:34:30 re: suprisingly Feb 20 05:34:42 I'll see if debootstrapping fixes it Feb 20 05:34:59 may be a problem with the installer image only Feb 20 05:36:07 I'm dying to try the e17 illume module...it'll probably suck. but, Im dying to try it out. supposedly has a nice onscreen keyboard too Feb 20 05:36:34 just wish i could get it to compile Feb 20 05:36:57 what kind of errors are you getting? Feb 20 05:37:46 said autopoint wasn't installed. Feb 20 05:37:53 but, it was. Feb 20 05:38:26 then i discovered automake install problems and could reinstall/ununstall the package Feb 20 05:38:40 no reconfigure either Feb 20 05:38:54 I'm gonna try another route Feb 20 05:39:03 * b-man16 hates those kind of errors - he had the same problem with gtkeyboard Feb 20 05:40:19 it depended on a non-existent package :P Feb 20 05:40:35 muh... Feb 20 05:40:59 so, I'll try another method next time Feb 20 05:41:17 btw, there's an update for network-manager and network-manager-gnome :) Feb 20 05:41:26 dont't install Feb 20 05:41:51 or...download the version you have first to restore Feb 20 05:42:13 * b-man16 will take note of that ;) Feb 20 05:42:45 ugh..I don't wanna go to launchpad land Feb 20 05:43:26 hehe Feb 20 05:43:50 * b-man16 thinks it's too complicated Feb 20 05:44:22 pain in the bum Feb 20 05:44:28 it took me 3 weeks to figure out how to use it ;p Feb 20 05:44:39 sigh... Feb 20 05:44:57 could just wait it out... :) Feb 20 05:45:07 :) Feb 20 05:46:39 * b-man16 needs to go to bed - g'night Feb 20 05:47:03 later Feb 20 06:29:55 hey all Feb 20 06:30:09 I can't seem to find any sort of central repository of nokia's maemo applications code Feb 20 06:30:27 I am trying to find out what hildon API the Internet Call application uses to show missed call notifications Feb 20 06:30:29 mxr.maemo.org/diablo ? Feb 20 06:30:33 * Toba looks there Feb 20 06:30:48 the apps themselves are typically closed Feb 20 06:30:55 however you should be able to find what you need Feb 20 06:31:07 if you really need help finding something, i have a private version which can answer directly Feb 20 06:31:13 timeless: i can't help but wonder, are you working on fennec? Feb 20 06:31:21 the mozilla QDB seems to feature you Feb 20 06:31:25 as a mozilla.org contributor, yes Feb 20 06:31:29 awesome. Feb 20 06:31:34 good work, good luck on that bug. Feb 20 06:31:36 as a Nokian, i'm more of a helper Feb 20 06:31:37 the showstopper that is. Feb 20 06:31:43 hrm Feb 20 06:31:52 no idea which one that is :) Feb 20 06:32:00 something to do with memory Feb 20 06:32:05 I don't know if it effects maemo, I'm thinking not Feb 20 06:32:14 I heard about it via the grapevine Feb 20 06:32:37 http://mxr.maemo.org/diablo/search?string=notification&find=hildon.*h$ Feb 20 06:32:53 thanks Feb 20 06:33:03 just a hand written query based on what you described Feb 20 06:33:42 I have this right now Feb 20 06:33:43 hildon.hildon_banner_show_information(self.app, None, string) Feb 20 06:33:53 and that's clearly not what I want, this is for a scheduling app Feb 20 06:33:55 sounds pythony Feb 20 06:33:59 it is python Feb 20 06:34:08 fwiw, i don't claim to speak python :) Feb 20 06:34:20 http://cons.truct.org/projects/psyched.html is what I am porting to hildon/maemo Feb 20 06:34:21 * timeless has a Hg(.py) patchbomb to send, but... Feb 20 06:34:28 it's working *mostly* now but it's not very well integrated Feb 20 06:34:40 so I don't feel comfortable releasing a version that professes maemo support Feb 20 06:35:45 iirc, it's a libnotify thing. internet call is closed but modest, the email client,does the same thing & its code is available. Feb 20 06:35:57 fwiw Feb 20 06:36:06 libnotify doesn't seem to be in the repositories Feb 20 06:36:06 ime, the notification system fails fairly amusingly Feb 20 06:36:24 oh hold on.... Feb 20 06:36:28 timeless: how so? Feb 20 06:36:43 well, a few years ago a bunch of people sent requests to be my friends via google talk Feb 20 06:36:47 I want a) it to hang around until the user dismisses it b) obvious visual cue Feb 20 06:37:17 so every day i look at my tablet it flashes at me to tell me about some fixed time (and no date) when these people (chirp, chrip, chir-, chirp) asked me to be their friends Feb 20 06:37:33 because i haven't dismissed/addressed their requests Feb 20 06:37:40 why did you not dismiss them Feb 20 06:37:47 because i don't know if i know them Feb 20 06:37:53 how is that a failure Feb 20 06:37:56 does it say who it is? Feb 20 06:38:02 not in a way i can understand Feb 20 06:38:12 but the failure is the fixed
