**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Mar 22 02:59:57 2011 Mar 22 04:02:46 hi Mar 22 06:03:51 * DocScrutinizer wonders what' the issue with sshfs/fuse Mar 22 06:34:42 morning Mar 22 06:35:02 mohammoaning Mar 22 06:59:00 tekojo: hi Mar 22 07:27:58 wow, TEPCO learns to talk: http://www.jaif.or.jp/english/news_images/pdf/ENGNEWS01_1300758392P.pdf Mar 22 07:30:01 well, actually JAIF Mar 22 07:31:25 Mar 22 07:32:51 good morning Mar 22 07:42:58 hello Mar 22 07:43:20 DocScrutinizer, \o Mar 22 07:44:33 o/ Mar 22 07:46:02 OT: could anybody explain to me what's the meaning of "seawater injection to core: continuing" in http://www.jaif.or.jp/english/news_images/pdf/ENGNEWS01_1300758392P.pdf rsp http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_the_Fukushima_nuclear_accidents Mar 22 07:50:57 DocScrutinizer, didn't rtfa, but it means that they are pushing seawater int to cool it, and not using the water meant for the job. It's a last effort kind of thing that ruins the powerplant Mar 22 07:53:02 mece: that's what it suggests to us. But honestly, continuing injection of seawater and still way too low water level? And for all I know you can't "inject" arbitrary amounts of substance nto a closed containment, so what's *really* happening there? Mar 22 07:53:58 is that like "inject 500L, wait 2 days and watch occasional steam escaping, repeat" ? Mar 22 07:55:01 possibly Mar 22 07:55:10 it has emergency cooling systems (and sensors) so I'm guessing it's not really completely sealed in that sense Mar 22 07:55:23 AIUI either they continuously "inject" cooling (sea) water and it comes out somewhere else, or this statement is BS Mar 22 07:56:06 I tend to favour #2 Mar 22 07:56:07 I think it's coming out as steam <_< Mar 22 07:56:37 then they evidently inject too little water Mar 22 07:56:49 maybe they mean cooling the reactor from the outside with seawater. Not actually injecting into the core Mar 22 07:58:20 why doesn't ffmpeg have hwacceleration on maemo? Mar 22 07:58:35 we have va/glx drivers don't we? Mar 22 07:58:45 because it's not used by the platform - the hardware acceleration is done with gstreamer Mar 22 07:58:52 ok Mar 22 07:59:06 but could it be used? Mar 22 07:59:32 and I don't think there are any va drivers either Mar 22 07:59:39 oh :/ Mar 22 08:01:20 so it's just using the OMAP DSP to run the codecs, and the decoded frames are sent either to a hardware overlay or to a video texture with Xv Mar 22 08:02:02 gstreamer takes care of the depayloading, audio decoding, etc and syncronizes the playback between the video and the audio etc Mar 22 08:08:20 Robot101, ok, thanks. Mar 22 08:14:31 http://www.reghardware.com/2011/03/22/app_of_the_week_android_thrutu/ <-- interesting app Mar 22 08:31:37 why is there no gtkglext in the repos? Mar 22 08:45:21 good moorning maemo Mar 22 09:14:30 hey Mar 22 09:14:45 regarding ffmpeg vs gst Mar 22 09:15:34 is playback via gst automagically hwaccelerated? Mar 22 09:41:20 gstreamer is an API, not an impl Mar 22 09:42:13 mece: you probably want to ask about gstreamer-plugins-good or something Mar 22 09:51:51 mece, yes Mar 22 09:51:59 though read what timeless_w7ip said Mar 22 10:05:13 ok thanks. Mar 22 10:08:28 timeless_w7ip, isn't it both? Mar 22 10:08:56 timeless_w7ip, gstreamer implements *something* Mar 22 10:09:11 (the basic DAG handling, and a number of standard filters) Mar 22 10:09:21 It delegates codec handling to plug-ins Mar 22 10:09:47 (and in fact gstreamer itself is a bunch of plug-ins + the framework to load them & move data through a graph) Mar 22 10:10:03 As I understand it, at least (and I might be wrong) Mar 22 10:10:13 hey dneary Mar 22 10:10:21 Hi anddie Mar 22 10:10:31 been hitting the headlines quite a few times recently Mar 22 10:10:40 crash: Whatever do you mean? Mar 22 10:10:53 /. Mar 22 10:11:08 You've been mentioned what, 3 or 4 times in a week? Mar 22 10:11:17 (not this week) Mar 22 10:11:25 dneary: well sure, gstreamer implements a framework Mar 22 10:11:38 dneary: but for the purposes of the question, gstreamer was the wrong layer Mar 22 10:11:44 and that's all i intended to correct Mar 22 10:12:01 gstreamer is something like MCI Mar 22 10:12:01 timeless_w7ip, I missed the question :) Mar 22 10:12:09 dneary: the channel has logs ;-) Mar 22 10:12:12 I just saw your answer Mar 22 10:12:14 dneary, timeless_w7ip, well how does it relate? I have a choice between ffmpeg or gst, and ffmpeg on N900 does not support va-api Mar 22 10:12:44 Ah: "regarding ffmpeg vs gst: is playback via gst automagically hwaccelerated?" Mar 22 10:12:45 mece: ffmpeg is more or less an api + an impl Mar 22 10:13:00 gst is the api, the impl could be one of a number of things Mar 22 10:13:03 timeless_w7ip, yes. That's why it's a bit comfusing Mar 22 10:13:09 mece, GStreamer provides, among other things, an ffmpeg plug-in Mar 22 10:13:13 it could be some standard open source impl which probably isn't hardware accelerated Mar 22 10:13:20 So you can use both gstreamer & ffmpeg, if you so desire Mar 22 10:13:21 dneary, I noticed. Mar 22 10:13:30 or it could be a licensed thing which is hardware accelerated Mar 22 10:13:51 dneary, but gnash has the two options mentioned. gst or ffmpeg Mar 22 10:13:52 i'm pretty sure that the mpeg impl that gst generally gives you on the n900 uses the DSP or something similar Mar 22 10:14:14 but it's really outside my area Mar 22 10:14:26 mece, As timeless said, ffmpeg is itself an API to code against, independent of codecs & their implementations Mar 22 10:14:46 mece, To summarise: both ffmpeg and gstreamer are abstractions Mar 22 10:15:03 gstreamer can use the ffmpeg abstraction as one of its back-ends Mar 22 10:15:27 gstreamer supports both hardware-accelerated & pure software back-ends Mar 22 10:15:43 ffmpeg provides (I think) only pure-software codec implementations Mar 22 10:16:09 So gstreamer has the potential to support HW acceleration, whereas ffmpeg does not Mar 22 10:16:15 timeless_w7ip, Is that correct? Mar 22 10:16:30 dneary, among other things. It [ffmpeg] can utilize va/glx to provide hw accelration via vaapi, but not the version that is in maemo5 repos. Mar 22 10:16:45 dneary: sadly it isn't that simple :( Mar 22 10:17:02 mece, So, yes, ffmpeg could use any back-end API it wants for rendering Mar 22 10:17:25 Incl. X11, gl/glx, and even ascii art Mar 22 10:17:58 but generally when people talk about ffmpeg i think there are thankfully countably few impls that people mean Mar 22 10:18:04 whereas for gst, it's much worse :) Mar 22 10:18:11 mece, And if it uses a GL back-end and you're running on hardware that can do GL natively, then in some sense you get "hardware acceleration" Mar 22 10:18:13 either way I'm compiling gnash with everything I could get working, so I can test different settings with command line options Mar 22 10:18:14 For the rendering Mar 22 10:18:20 But not for the codec phase Mar 22 10:18:31 mece, That sounds sane :) Mar 22 10:20:25 dneary, problem is I configured for all possiblt hw accel options, but none actually got enabled :/ Mar 22 10:20:46 options being vaapi, xv and omap Mar 22 10:21:47 also, there doesn't appear to be gtkglext for maemo5 so I can't get gtk ui + opengl rendering, which is annoying. Mar 22 10:24:07 I believe this lib is going to be gigantic Mar 22 10:24:27 93Mb O.o Mar 22 10:27:02 mece: w/ or w/o debug info? Mar 22 10:30:56 timeless_w7ip, hmm.. I dunno. lemme check. Mar 22 10:46:08 timeless_w7ip, w/ Mar 22 10:46:14 I think Mar 22 10:47:26 oo there's a gles renderer! Mar 22 10:47:28 that should help Mar 22 10:47:50 morning Mar 22 10:47:56 the main lib so file is 62Mb Mar 22 10:48:04 * lardman wishes his client would remember the time at which a highlight was made Mar 22 10:49:50 (05:45:35 PM) ***infobot bends lardman|gone for suggesting yet another tracker sh*t over his knee and tatoos 'ibot' on lardman|gone for suggesting yet another tracker sh*t's pasty white buttocks. Mar 22 10:50:10 thanks SpeedEvil Mar 22 10:50:22 wtf? Mar 22 10:50:22 seems fair too, whoever cursed me Mar 22 10:50:33 mece: lol Mar 22 10:50:47 haaahahahhaa Mar 22 10:50:47 :D Mar 22 10:50:51 good stuff Mar 22 10:59:55 Gaaaaah! stupid frackin scp! Mar 22 11:00:04 sshtar time. Mar 22 11:00:09 * mece rips hair out Mar 22 11:00:18 FauxFaux, going for rsync. Mar 22 11:00:51 scp make symlinks copies of file. so now I have 2 of those 62Mb files. Mar 22 11:02:19 Hmm Mar 22 11:02:39 Indeed, some form of highlight history would be nice Mar 22 11:04:40 Hi guys, I am looking on how to get IPv6 support on my N900 Mar 22 11:04:41 mece: rsync Mar 22 11:04:42 oh Mar 22 11:04:45 ;) Mar 22 11:05:03 massoud, compile a custom kernel that has ipv6 support? Mar 22 11:05:04 actually I targz'd it and then scp'd. was faster. saved 80Mb :D Mar 22 11:05:59 are there issues with ipv6 support or could that be included in cssu I wonder? Mar 22 11:08:30 http://xkcd.com/225/ Still funny. ;) Mar 22 11:09:20 psycho_oreos : there is now kernel mod available w/ IPv6 support ready for n900, i wonder there should be lots of n900 users that want ipv6 support ? Mar 22 11:10:02 massoud, maybe, when IANA phases out IPv4 Mar 22 11:11:23 ipv6 will probably run out of addresses before that happens Mar 22 11:11:39 around 2020 ;) Mar 22 11:12:55 more like 2012, the end of the world. There will be hardly anyone left that will still be fiddling with technology when there are epic crisis everywhere Mar 22 11:13:29 so none of you guys run ipv6 on n900 ? :) Mar 22 11:13:49 I run IPv7 Mar 22 11:14:06 planning to upgrade to IPv11 next month Mar 22 11:14:13 the experimental IPv8? that's interesting Mar 22 11:15:50 whoa, my nose will so bleed -_-' technology evolving way faster than what humans are able to do with their noodle filled brain Mar 22 11:16:13 its like travelling at warp speed Mar 22 11:20:28 massoud: there was a nokia-palo-alto released ipv6 for maemo tech demo iirc Mar 22 11:20:41 but note that ipv6 on mobile phones is more or less a disaster Mar 22 11:20:48 indeed Mar 22 11:20:54 because the cellular network design is broken Mar 22 11:21:09 and you basically need the networks to deploy a new thing Mar 22 11:21:14 and they're terrible at fast roll out Mar 22 11:21:18 http://i2catblogctx.wordpress.com/2011/01/10/ready-to-go-ipv6-think-again/ Mar 22 11:24:33 timeless_w7ip : thanks a lot, do you have a DL link for the kernel image, I would like to run mesh-network wifi protocol Mar 22 11:26:22 I want to run babeld on my n900 to run sip tests over the mesh network Mar 22 11:33:43 hmpf since there is ff4 for maemo, you'd think you would be able to find xulrunner-dev for maemo somewhere. Mar 22 11:36:45 is it possible to forward X on the n900? I alreadey installed the ssh_d and in /etc/ssh/sshd_config X11 forwarding is enabled Mar 22 11:38:19 sq-one, yes. should work Mar 22 11:38:27 http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=41168 Mar 22 11:39:15 s/http:\/\/talk.maemo.org\/showthread.php?t=41168/sq-one, here are some comments about it: http:\/\/talk.maemo.org\/showthread.php?t=41168/ Mar 22 11:39:22 hmpf. Mar 22 11:47:15 timeless_w7ip: mind to elaborate what's the GSM borne network problems with IPv6? Mar 22 11:51:31 http://rfc-ref.org/RFC-TEXTS/4215/chapter1.html Mar 22 11:51:32 perhaps? Mar 22 11:51:56 please keep in mind that this isn't my area Mar 22 11:52:19 but basically it seems that when you connect to the network you make a connection which gives you an ipv4 Mar 22 11:52:30 and you aren't really in a position to also ask for an ipv6 Mar 22 11:52:44 worse, it seems that the deployed hardware isn't in any position to give you an ipv6 Mar 22 11:53:00 massoud: I chose "Nokia N900" year ago as I wanted to have IPv6 subnet for Bluetooth PAN over mobile network uplink always in my pocket Mar 22 11:53:59 doc: basically of all the groups not remotely well positioned to deploy ipv6, the cellular industry is #1 Mar 22 11:54:30 there's also iiuc concern that trying to deploy ipv6 in certain other manners would break "legacy" devices :) Mar 22 11:54:48 and since a legacy device is basically any phone from before say 2011 or 2012 or 2013 Mar 22 11:54:52 that's a lot of phones :) Mar 22 11:55:26 this doesn't even cover fun stuff like ipv6 for mms message centers Mar 22 11:55:49 or the fact that your cell provider might not have working ipv6 routing to a destination Mar 22 11:55:56 (that's the normal ipv6 hassle) Mar 22 11:56:56 docscrutinizer: is that sufficient? Mar 22 11:57:05 eep, missing lunch Mar 22 11:57:07 ahh Mar 22 11:57:09 sp3000: lunch plans? Mar 22 11:57:30 doc: basically exec summary: the cellular industry did a really bad job designing their protocol Mar 22 11:57:36 and a bad job in arranging their hardware Mar 22 11:57:50 and were incredibly lazy about planning for the future Mar 22 11:58:08 which makes them just like every other giant who doesn't plan for tomorrow or the next day Mar 22 12:02:31 ouch, now I realize there's some layers of IP stack implemented in modem FW :-S Mar 22 12:03:50 it occurs to me the data transfer via GPRS isn't like any usual NIC you tell about raw data and MAC of destination Mar 22 12:04:52 mhm, that pretty much kills IPv6 Mar 22 12:05:26 yeah Mar 22 12:05:35 It could've been so simple, change APN to APN-v6 Mar 22 12:05:42 basically cell phones won't get a chance at ipv6 until 2013 or so Mar 22 12:05:47 long after we've run out of addresses Mar 22 12:06:09 all because of what are essentially layering violations on the part of the cell industry Mar 22 12:06:28 yeah Mar 22 12:08:39 so what's our chances to see a IPv6 enabled cmt FW for N900? :-P Mar 22 12:09:49 hardly matters Mar 22 12:10:01 timeless_w7ip: AIUI that nokia-palo-alto IPv6 implementation been a tunneling IPv6-over-v4, no? Mar 22 12:10:03 the odds of you having a non lame cellular provider aren't great Mar 22 12:10:11 doc: yeah it was tunneling Mar 22 12:10:25 but tunneling has advntages: .us PoP! Mar 22 12:10:27 hulu! Mar 22 12:10:42 timeless_w7ip: word Mar 22 12:10:44 :-D Mar 22 12:10:44 hulu++ Mar 22 12:11:03 man I felt like such a haxx0r first time I did that ;) Mar 22 12:11:34 .oO(???) Mar 22 12:12:14 used an anonymizer to get into hulu (which otherwise restricts me from accessing it due to my being outside of the US) Mar 22 12:12:41 (???)0°` :-) Mar 22 12:13:10 wtf hulu Mar 22 12:13:25 hulu is uh... Mar 22 12:13:56 all the OMGPONIES!11 fun american sitcoms and drama shows streamed via flash on the web Mar 22 12:14:05 prolly I don't want to know as I never missed it yet Mar 22 12:14:42 if you watch House MD or 2½ men or similar shit you'll likely find hulu usefull Mar 22 12:14:43 aah, that even explained WHY I never missed it Mar 22 12:17:35 I prefer House in a synced version, downloaded and easy playback, easy watching. I'm not a native English speaker and movies are incredibly uphill to watch for me Mar 22 12:18:19 even news at CNN are hard Mar 22 12:18:28 I prefer written English Mar 22 12:19:07 doc: ah Mar 22 12:19:10 DocScrutinizer: you should try sherlock holmes in english then, watch it as many times as you need to understand everything, then you might be ready for any london mouth Mar 22 12:19:16 note that generally you can buffer and play things back Mar 22 12:19:44 no leisure activity Mar 22 12:20:51 a london friend of mine made me become london mouth resistant... Mar 22 12:21:04 took about 2 years though Mar 22 12:21:09 I'd probably consider it more fun when somebody reads a sourcecode and I try to understand what the program does by listening to that Mar 22 12:21:44 try espeak... Mar 22 12:22:04 well, conversation face to face usually is easy, but listening to others talking their thing is hard Mar 22 12:23:20 actually I prefer british to american English. Even Scottish is kinda nice, after an hour. But only when sitting with a guy and having a beer Mar 22 12:23:38 true Mar 22 12:26:10 * DocScrutinizer watched 4 episodes of House playback by N900 hooked up to TV recently. Only way to get downloaded files to a decent screen here Mar 22 12:30:54 is there a working Google Calendar sync method atm? Mar 22 12:31:48 DocScrutinizer: British? It's English English thank you very much ;) Mar 22 12:32:13 lol Mar 22 12:33:34 english is refered to as american british or aussie... accent is another thing Mar 22 12:34:03 lardman: I thought exchange stuff wrapps around google?! Mar 22 12:35:01 chem|st: Well I speak English as I am English, so no need for an affix ;) Mar 22 12:35:09 Exchange stuff doesn't work afair Mar 22 12:35:19 comes up with connection errors, etc Mar 22 12:35:34 s/affix/prefix Mar 22 12:36:28 lardman: you speak british english with an english accent which is different to talking american english with an english accent... Mar 22 12:36:50 lardman: what's the non-french tongue in canada called? and what does it sound like to a native speaker? Mar 22 12:37:21 chem|st: I speak English, those in the US speak American English, etc Mar 22 12:37:22 that is funny in some movies where they meme an english accent but talk american Mar 22 12:37:59 DocScrutinizer51: Canadian English, sounds Canadian :) Mar 22 12:38:02 lardman: that sounds mor like religion... as scotts talk scot'ish?! Mar 22 12:38:31 sets wut I saut Mar 22 12:39:04 chem|st: nah, just my pet peeve Mar 22 12:39:27 chem|st: totally indeed.. Mar 22 12:39:46 by definition the only german speaking part of the world is in northern germany Mar 22 12:40:22 all other parts are called dialekt but most of them are an own language by definition Mar 22 12:40:26 hihihi Mar 22 12:40:43 and it's called German there, not German German? ;) Mar 22 12:41:07 lardman: do you know people who speak Austrian? Mar 22 12:41:12 not to be confused with Austorian Mar 22 12:41:22 Austrian German, yes Mar 22 12:41:22 and certainly not to be confused with Australian Mar 22 12:41:27 :) Mar 22 12:41:29 true that, Bavarian is impossible to understand Mar 22 12:41:29 swiss german Mar 22 12:41:39 chem|st: bavarian Mar 22 12:41:42 swiss german is nasty stuff Mar 22 12:41:51 how about Swiss Italian? Mar 22 12:42:01 I don't speak Italian Mar 22 12:42:02 even worse Mar 22 12:43:52 my point is simply that in Germany they speak German, in Switzerland it's called Swiss German; in France they speak French, in Canada it's Canadian French; in England we speak English. British (English) is unneeded as a qualifier Mar 22 12:44:07 Does having a Swiss Franc entitle you to speak Swiss French? Mar 22 12:44:26 In Belgium they speak Belgian French? Mar 22 12:44:32 guys Mar 22 12:44:33 or Belgian Dutch? Mar 22 12:44:36 I speak fluent swabian, carintian (austrian dialekt) and understand most dialekts/languages german based in the south Mar 22 12:44:58 is there something that records battery life % into some data file with cpu usage % Mar 22 12:45:07 macman: we're busy having a pointless discussiom, if you want to be productive, might i suggest you ask again in 10mins? :) Mar 22 12:45:21 timeless_w7ip: Belgian Dutch = Flemish afaiu Mar 22 12:45:28 or rather, any recommendations from the available battery-related packages Mar 22 12:45:29 macmaN, "BatteryGraph" Mar 22 12:45:38 lardman: but you said it should be called Belgian Dutch! Mar 22 12:45:47 realy hard you get with allemanian (southwest dialect close to the swiss boarder but still germany, close to swiss german but with swabian and badian influence) Mar 22 12:46:06 timeless_w7ip: no, I said that the British bit is unneeded on the front of English as a description of what is spoken in England Mar 22 12:46:28 macmaN: batterygraph? Mar 22 12:46:30 lcuk: aha ok that looks about right Mar 22 12:46:59 lardman: if read like this yes Mar 22 12:47:22 macmaN: bq27200.sh >my.log Mar 22 12:47:25 i am trying to figure out whether i should still use wifi switcher or does the power kernel do something etter Mar 22 12:47:29 better Mar 22 12:47:36 compared to stock kernel Mar 22 12:47:59 but without telling that you are from "england" useless statement as the americans believe that they all talk perfect clean english Mar 22 12:48:15 nah, both work ok, even without friggin switchers Mar 22 12:48:22 and that is the crux of the problem ;) Mar 22 12:48:42 anyway /me gives up annoying timeless_w7ip :) Mar 22 12:48:48 sorry timeless_w7ip Mar 22 12:48:57 macmaN: if your wifi is set to powersaving and stuff not your wifi is draining the battery but your accounts logged in Mar 22 12:50:26 macmaN: seems all those other battery* apps are quite greedy and hog CPU and thus not only log but also deplete battery Mar 22 12:50:49 DocScrutinizer: including batterygraph or this one is OK Mar 22 12:50:55 also all of them rely on hal, and hal is spreading bme's lies Mar 22 12:51:00 * lardman tries Erminig for Google sync Mar 22 12:51:04 mhmmm Mar 22 12:51:05 okay Mar 22 12:51:31 umm bq27200.sh refers to what Mar 22 12:51:34 checkout bq27200 Mar 22 12:51:44 to bq27200 :-) Mar 22 12:51:57 aka battery gauge chip Mar 22 12:52:04 directly Mar 22 12:52:14 and immediately Mar 22 12:52:18 DocScrutinizer: Why do you think bme is reporting bad data? Mar 22 12:52:31 neal: because it does Mar 22 12:52:40 err, dunno, maybe because bme is crap? Mar 22 12:53:33 at least that's basically in line with what I got told by nokia affiliates that actually looked into it Mar 22 12:53:34 have you measured it? Mar 22 12:53:55 measured what? bme's lies? Mar 22 12:54:11 I'd not know where to attach the polygraph Mar 22 12:54:15 do you mean the percent that it reports? or the report volt/ampere? Mar 22 12:54:17 DocScrutinizer, what's the ssh command you use again? Mar 22 12:54:21 s/report/reported/ Mar 22 12:54:22 neal meant: do you mean the percent that it reporteds? or the report volt/ampere? Mar 22 12:54:29 MohammadAG: mompls Mar 22 12:54:33 infobot: no I didn't Mar 22 12:54:48 neal: I did after my device stuck at 0% for hours with the same ampere-h left Mar 22 12:54:51 hmm, Erminig doesn't seem to work Mar 22 12:54:54 ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -o UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null -l root t900 Mar 22 12:55:56 * lardman heads to get some lunch Mar 22 12:56:03 chem|st: interesting, I haven't observed that. Mar 22 12:56:03 lardman: ++ Mar 22 12:56:10 DocScrutinizer, thanks Mar 22 12:56:15 np Mar 22 12:56:19 chem|st: is it reproducible? Mar 22 12:56:21 DocScrutinizer: ok found bq27200.sh Mar 22 12:56:41 check CI=0 Mar 22 12:56:42 neal: with pr1.2 it shuts down at that point and I guess there are hours left as I can at least boot it up 3 times Mar 22 12:57:00 CI=1 means battery capacity calculations are incorrect Mar 22 12:57:21 chem|st: ah. I usually plug in after that. Mar 22 12:57:39 DocScrutinizer: where do I read CI? Mar 22 12:57:43 neal: I had that 0% for hours several times yes Mar 22 12:57:56 in bq27200.sh output (not in loop mode though) Mar 22 12:58:15 CI=1 Mar 22 12:58:16 :/ Mar 22 12:58:27 why? WHYYY? Mar 22 12:58:35 * macmaN runs away crying Mar 22 12:58:40 so you have to complete a learning cycle Mar 22 12:59:06 means fully charge then completely discharge the cell Mar 22 12:59:31 DocScrutinizer: thanks. Mar 22 12:59:59 neal: the most detail you get with bq27200.sh 5 Mar 22 13:00:12 there's no use in shorter period times Mar 22 13:00:25 as the chip's cycle time is 5.12s Mar 22 13:00:41 DocScrutinizer: where is that script? Mar 22 13:00:58 if you go for longer periods, you get a spotlight on last 5.12 s Mar 22 13:01:45 http://enivax.net/jk/n900/ Mar 22 13:01:55 thanks Mar 22 13:02:01 I suggest you use bq.tar Mar 22 13:02:11 so, maemo is probably the best OS nokia has every produced Mar 22 13:02:19 i would have to agree Mar 22 13:02:24 yo Mar 22 13:02:32 and most of it wasnt even done by them :> Mar 22 13:02:36 anybody knows how to get out of S^4/N8 WHITE SCREEN OF DEATH other than waiting for the battery to crap? Mar 22 13:02:48 Remove the battery! Mar 22 13:02:59 use sledge hammer Mar 22 13:03:03 FauxFaux: can you get me that watch maker screwdriver? Mar 22 13:03:16 this is really unbeliveble. Mar 22 13:03:18 but mind you = Mar 22 13:03:25 I think I know what is the culprit Mar 22 13:03:32 the crappy nUnlock app Mar 22 13:03:38 I removed it and then it went crazy Mar 22 13:03:42 look for very small holes that are NOT mic or speaker apertures :-D Mar 22 13:03:52 DocScrutinizer: I found them :) Mar 22 13:03:53 some phones have a reset switch Mar 22 13:04:07 DocScrutinizer: right, but then I'd have to use the Phoenix Mar 22 13:04:12 which I don't :-p Mar 22 13:04:42 there is no hope for microkernel based OSs :-p Mar 22 13:04:43 no hope! Mar 22 13:04:46 also sometimes pressing power button for 15s might help Mar 22 13:05:09 DocScrutinizer: thank you doc! Mar 22 13:05:19 again, you save the day! Mar 22 13:05:26 duh :-D Mar 22 13:05:32 I tried it before! Mar 22 13:05:34 but now it worke. Mar 22 13:05:36 worked Mar 22 13:05:41 this non detriminism is killing me Mar 22 13:05:44 I can't stand it. Mar 22 13:06:03 * sivang cries for PR2.0 Mar 22 13:06:25 a semi-zombie OS can intercept hard shutdown via 15s powerbutton (sometimes) Mar 22 13:06:34 a completely frozen one can't Mar 22 13:06:46 DocScrutinizer: right, so I had to wait for it to froze completely Mar 22 13:07:03 DocScrutinizer: is that related to too quick context switching not allowing the power interrupt to pass? Mar 22 13:07:09 e..g the interception Mar 22 13:07:31 or too aggresive swaping? Mar 22 13:07:32 err, it's like kernel is resetting the watchdog that times the 15s Mar 22 13:07:36 in hw Mar 22 13:08:02 due to ? Mar 22 13:08:05 too many apps ? Mar 22 13:08:09 anyway it has to do this every time again you press & holdthe button Mar 22 13:08:12 requesting the damn thing for serviuces? Mar 22 13:08:35 this NEVER happend me with Maemo btw Mar 22 13:08:36 never Mar 22 13:08:53 and if an app strays, I can kil it like I do on on Ubuntu. #go linux! Mar 22 13:09:08 Is it possible to use the PC's sound input/output for N900 calls over USB networking? Mar 22 13:09:09 sure, maemo has like 3 watchdogs :-D Mar 22 13:09:23 one of them will trigger usually Mar 22 13:10:02 I love Maemo Mar 22 13:10:22 but if symbian3 was augmented with this, I'm sure it could be great as well. and it is. Mar 22 13:10:23 vldcnst: it should be possible. Have fun figuring how to convince PA to actually do it Mar 22 13:10:47 DocScrutinizer: PA needs to rute to BT and that's it? ;) Mar 22 13:10:54 indeed that sounds like something pulseaudio is designed to be able to do Mar 22 13:10:58 BT via USB? Mar 22 13:10:59 DocScrutinizer51: use the BT stuff? Mar 22 13:11:02 I want to say that again: Maemo, I LOVE YOU. Mar 22 13:11:04 -51 Mar 22 13:11:05 but good luck convincing it Mar 22 13:11:18 DocScrutinizer: oh, quick to reading. Mar 22 13:11:20 lol Mar 22 13:11:22 or too quick Mar 22 13:11:35 apparently the stock player reads metadata off tracker and sets it again in mafw Mar 22 13:11:51 thus... wasting even more resources Mar 22 13:12:14 then emits a metadata changed signal Mar 22 13:12:45 also, Joikuspot seems to crap S^3 while with MAemo it goes un-noticed Mar 22 13:12:47 I bet there's a niche case where that's needed to fix fsck'd-ness of tracker Mar 22 13:13:05 ...and tracker *based* app Mar 22 13:13:09 DocScrutinizer: lol Mar 22 13:13:14 re: tracker fsck'ness Mar 22 13:13:20 nope, my mediaplayer doesn't get metadata from tracker and works fine Mar 22 13:13:33 it gets it straight from mafw Mar 22 13:13:47 there's no need to get metadata, set it, then get it again Mar 22 13:13:57 more like UI fsckness Mar 22 13:14:42 MohammadAG: except in that weird case where some app A is writing new files to foo while B is renaming it and tracker does a global reindex while mediaplayer using tracker data to show album art... get the pictuure? Mar 22 13:15:17 now i wonde if people are exeporiencing audio issues with the N8? Mar 22 13:15:23 there's a signal for that, no need to get, set, get Mar 22 13:15:37 yes, it only has one speaker and that can easily be covered Mar 22 13:15:42 * MohammadAG stabs hardware design team Mar 22 13:15:58 to make things worse, that problem they tried to fix this way probably vanished in PR1.0.1 Mar 22 13:16:17 MohammadAG: maemo is like 4000% better in sound quality Mar 22 13:16:25 MohammadAG: when using earpiece Mar 22 13:16:56 someone kill the sound policy daemon, kthxbai Mar 22 13:17:04 heh Mar 22 13:17:12 MohammadAG: maemo/ s^3? Mar 22 13:17:17 maemo Mar 22 13:17:39 and the one speaker? Mar 22 13:17:57 hah, my ACI audio concept (to kill / avoid PA crap) finally seems to make it into SHR and thus maybe also on N900 Mar 22 13:18:00 N8 Mar 22 13:18:14 I want mixed audio sources Mar 22 13:18:15 damn that took a few years to take pace Mar 22 13:18:23 so, I wonder if 'Social' is the virus like program for accessing FB from N8 Mar 22 13:18:23 I don't care if my caller listens to my music Mar 22 13:18:27 * sivang wants to remove it Mar 22 13:18:37 and twitter Mar 22 13:18:50 MohammadAG: yes, I have a home made replacement for both ;) Mar 22 13:18:53 Snaptu Mar 22 13:18:54 programmed in some awesome web-based language Mar 22 13:18:58 making it crappy Mar 22 13:19:10 Mar 22 13:19:20 can you send arbitrary pulseaudio sources to callers? Mar 22 13:19:24 MohammadAG: you mean snaptu or the OVI ware? Mar 22 13:19:45 actually better question, can n900 run asterix? Mar 22 13:20:12 oh dear, it can't be removed! Mar 22 13:20:15 meh, there's * for N900, but hnestly NOBODY needs that Mar 22 13:20:19 S3 won't Mar 22 13:20:27 Social app Mar 22 13:20:28 anathaema: it runs, yes Mar 22 13:20:40 MohammadAG: you mean, social crap :) Mar 22 13:20:45 * sivang fires snaptu Mar 22 13:21:32 anathaema: do you want to call trunk B from trunk A on your N900? how would it support more than one UA? Mar 22 13:22:22 actually i'd be more interested in the voice menuing stuff Mar 22 13:22:39 aaah, oh well Mar 22 13:23:05 anathaema: I'm afraid that is going to eat your CPUs Mar 22 13:23:09 "if you really really want to speak to anathaema now press "1"" Mar 22 13:23:15 anathaema: you better make sure it is plugged for that if you're using G729 Mar 22 13:23:27 that alone would eliminate 99% of junk calls Mar 22 13:23:37 I doubt a B2B-UA like * is the right approach to implement voice dialing on N900 Mar 22 13:23:50 I agree with DocScrutinizer Mar 22 13:24:01 DocScrutinizer: btw, any progress on the FMtx/rx docs? Mar 22 13:24:23 sivang: duh, that completely dropped off my desktop Mar 22 13:24:30 i don't think there is anything lightweight that does even the simple stuff i'm talking about Mar 22 13:24:38 sorry Mar 22 13:24:47 DocScrutinizer: no prob, I not in my best the last couple of months either Mar 22 13:24:54 DocScrutinizer: when you have time Mar 22 13:25:03 i'm intending a "prove you are a human" call screener Mar 22 13:25:06 I am going to start with a good read of whatever you come up with anyways Mar 22 13:25:15 this area of development really intrigues me Mar 22 13:25:24 the audio version of captcha Mar 22 13:25:30 sivang: probably you better exploit my feedback and rant by simply talking to me live Mar 22 13:25:33 here Mar 22 13:25:42 DocScrutinizer: okay, will do. Mar 22 13:25:48 but now now :) Mar 22 13:25:51 have to run soon. Mar 22 13:25:56 weekend hopfully Mar 22 13:26:34 anathaema: you probably want to augment a TAM app Mar 22 13:26:38 for that Mar 22 13:27:05 I doubt * could sanely interface to GSM calls (yet?) Mar 22 13:27:19 DocScrutinizer: it has the codec, but that's about it.. Mar 22 13:27:22 AFAIK Mar 22 13:27:28 codec??? Mar 22 13:27:35 the gsm codec, Mar 22 13:27:36 what friggin codec?

Mar 22 13:27:55 modem Mar 22 13:27:58 BB5 Mar 22 13:28:11 I'm talking about the codec to encode data as GSM and decode it Mar 22 13:28:19 there are modules for that for both freeSWITCH and * Mar 22 13:28:22 that's all :) Mar 22 13:28:28 useless Mar 22 13:28:29 * sivang talks out of his arse Mar 22 13:28:31 see above Mar 22 13:28:53 you can't access raw GSM call OTA data Mar 22 13:29:05 right Mar 22 13:29:10 *because* the codec is in BB5 modem, not on AP Mar 22 13:29:11 so you have to interface with the modem Mar 22 13:29:17 yep Mar 22 13:29:19 got it Mar 22 13:29:50 tam?

Mar 22 13:39:39 nokia calls the n900 a tablet Mar 22 13:40:20 nokia won't be releasing any more updates for it right? because i disabled the nokia repositories Mar 22 13:40:26 other than the small screen it beats an ipad Mar 22 13:40:35 frankly anything beats an ipad Mar 22 13:40:52 my brother in law bought one Mar 22 13:41:04 i would never buy an apple product Mar 22 13:41:05 his son works for apple so he got the employee price Mar 22 13:41:10 ahh Mar 22 13:41:15 so some spare change got left there Mar 22 13:41:30 but it still cost too much imo Mar 22 13:41:48 i got my n900 for $350 Mar 22 13:41:50 I spent doubl to buy a n900 than I spent on a ps3 Mar 22 13:41:53 and it's almost open Mar 22 13:43:00 do i want a class 10 micro sdhc as opposed to class 4?

Mar 22 15:19:49 hi Guys Mar 22 15:20:11 just curious if anyone has a weird bug when using x11vnc Mar 22 15:20:23 ok i control my n900 from PC using x11vnc Mar 22 15:20:27 it works really great Mar 22 15:20:30 except Mar 22 15:20:43 It causes you to press enter randomly? Mar 22 15:20:44 the builtin browser, it does not respond to mouse clicks/drags Mar 22 15:20:59 not even that, only the builtin browser does not work properly Mar 22 15:21:06 everything else (including opera) works perfectly Mar 22 15:21:20 but I like the builtin browser, and ovistore only accepts it Mar 22 15:21:34 anyone having this same problem? Mar 22 15:22:00 FauxFaux? =) Mar 22 15:22:13 It's really annoying, don't do it. Mar 22 15:22:30 well, everything else works nicely Mar 22 15:25:32 even Debian works great Mar 22 15:25:46 I just can't understand WHY the builtin browser is the only app that does not work! Mar 22 15:26:33 ask timeless_w7ip how the microB off-screen gestures got implemented Mar 22 15:27:53 I'd not be surprised to learn microB is using a slightly different scheme to access pointer coords and moves Mar 22 15:28:32 hummm Mar 22 15:28:44 just handwaving Mar 22 15:28:53 =) Mar 22 15:29:26 some say my handwaving is usually good Mar 22 15:30:32 anyway AIUI microB UI is closed, so no luck in doing anything about it Mar 22 15:30:59 except.... Mar 22 15:30:59 nothing against your handwaving, lol Mar 22 15:31:41 doesn't fennec work just as well? Mar 22 15:31:45 * Sazpaimon hasn't used it Mar 22 15:32:15 rm_work, I have just made a new n8x0 app :) once it works I will be posting it Mar 22 15:32:42 lol Mar 22 15:32:52 I seem to recall some rumour about native zooming of whole X screen (in cssu), so maybe if you could shrink the display a itsy bit so the virtual screensize also contains the off-screen areas in a small "black" frame... Mar 22 15:32:53 except? Mar 22 15:32:54 my n800 doesn't work very well anymore Mar 22 15:32:59 DocScrutinizer, offscreen gestures are just a stroke that starts at X=0 Mar 22 15:33:18 you're sure? Mar 22 15:33:24 oh Mar 22 15:33:32 well that was how I wrote them when I was playing Mar 22 15:33:49 I definitely know sensitive area extends to offscreen (aka negative) values Mar 22 15:33:49 * lcuk often tries to see "simple" way to do complex stuff Mar 22 15:33:59 yes DocScrutinizer reading the ts driver Mar 22 15:34:04 but since these are x11 apps Mar 22 15:34:30 well, when I drag from the VNC client, the microB shows a mouse icon in the bottom left Mar 22 15:34:45 I never see that icon when dragging on the device itself Mar 22 15:35:18 but using VNC client (from PC), it shows the mouse icon in bottom left and does nothing Mar 22 15:35:46 and it does not click links Mar 22 15:35:50 really weird Mar 22 15:36:06 weird because everything else (all apps I tried until now) works Mar 22 15:36:13 imerso: the same icon you get when sliding in from lower left into screen on N900 microB? Mar 22 15:37:05 never see that icon on device itself Mar 22 15:37:13 dont know how to reproduce that Mar 22 15:37:24 I see it only when dragging from VNC client Mar 22 15:37:30 imerso: is it that icon I just asked you? Mar 22 15:37:54 well I suppose it is Mar 22 15:37:56 there definitely is such an icon Mar 22 15:38:12 it is a big icon with an arrow pointing to upper left Mar 22 15:38:18 if you never seen it on N900 then you never used the select mode in microB Mar 22 15:38:20 it appears lower left Mar 22 15:38:30 I never seen it before when using the device itself Mar 22 15:38:37 yes, I never used select mode Mar 22 15:38:42 yesyesyesyesysesysersyse Mar 22 15:38:51 I am new to N900 (not to computing but to N900 yes) Mar 22 15:39:02 I think you told that 3 times now Mar 22 15:39:06 =) Mar 22 15:39:15 sorry Mar 22 15:40:47 would you please do that encumbrance and open microb on N900, then slide from outside into screen hotizontally on lower left side? Mar 22 15:41:32 oh Mar 22 15:41:41 yes, doing that the same icon appears Mar 22 15:41:51 i knew about gestures but never got interested Mar 22 15:42:03 http://wiki.maemo.org/N900_Shortcuts_and_Gestures Mar 22 15:42:19 but yes, sliding this way on device really brings the same icon Mar 22 15:42:39 so now we got some clue what's going on Mar 22 15:42:49 yes, thank you Mar 22 15:42:53 not that it makes us any wiser instantly Mar 22 15:43:48 iirc that icon should vanish after some 3s if not clicked Mar 22 15:44:00 yes Mar 22 15:44:18 which restores cursor to normal operation Mar 22 15:44:31 yes, but the click is ignored Mar 22 15:44:39 so I can't drag nor enter links Mar 22 15:44:58 is that icon also vanishing in vnc? Mar 22 15:44:58 I can use cursor keys to scroll the page, though Mar 22 15:45:12 yes, it is vanishing in vnc as well Mar 22 15:45:29 the interface around the web page works Mar 22 15:45:30 and reappers as soon as you do any mouse move? Mar 22 15:45:42 only the rendered web page does not work Mar 22 15:45:59 yes, it reappears Mar 22 15:46:12 when I click within the rendering rectangle Mar 22 15:46:13 are you using a trackpad? Mar 22 15:46:27 I am using a 3 button mouse Mar 22 15:46:32 hmm Mar 22 15:46:35 a standard mouse Mar 22 15:46:35 strange Mar 22 15:46:45 2 buttons + scroll wheel Mar 22 15:47:35 it seems like mouse cursor gets moved to left side immediately as soon as there are no more mouse events Mar 22 15:48:18 I can use opera but I would prefer to use the microB Mar 22 15:48:33 could you try to move mouse to a link and circle around that link - always keeping it moving - until the icon disappears, then click the link Mar 22 15:48:35 it is builtin, and I like its features =) Mar 22 15:48:53 imerso: we all got your motivation Mar 22 15:49:10 this is a bug that needs get killed Mar 22 15:49:18 no need to applologize Mar 22 15:49:39 well, circling does zoom Mar 22 15:49:50 it shouldn't Mar 22 15:50:03 unless you got mouse button presssed Mar 22 15:50:13 oh Mar 22 15:50:28 if i only move the mouse without clicking, the icon does not appear Mar 22 15:50:38 meh Mar 22 15:50:40 if i click or click and drag, the icon appear Mar 22 15:50:47 even clicking links Mar 22 15:50:55 but not clicking, it does nothing Mar 22 15:52:04 could your N900 touchscreen be defective, always sensing a non existent press event? Mar 22 15:52:18 working on device is perfect Mar 22 15:52:27 device is absolutely new and perfect Mar 22 15:52:37 the problem is only when using a VNC client from PC Mar 22 15:52:43 x11vnc running on device Mar 22 15:52:52 please open a drawing program and try to draw some freehand lines Mar 22 15:52:59 on N900 Mar 22 15:53:10 humm, could it be some parameter I edited on the x11vnc? Mar 22 15:53:11 humm Mar 22 15:53:35 sure, could be some x11vnc config Mar 22 15:53:41 regarding mouse Mar 22 15:54:10 I tried Sketch, it works fine Mar 22 15:54:12 perfect Mar 22 15:54:18 everything I tried works perfect Mar 22 15:54:35 hmm, that's some weird thing in vnc then, I guess Mar 22 15:54:57 but why only the builtin browser? Mar 22 15:55:02 everything else works 100% Mar 22 15:55:10 well, ok then, no problem at all Mar 22 15:55:14 I can live with that Mar 22 15:55:15 though I'm not sure if it's a flaw in microB maybe. I never tested microB via VNC Mar 22 15:55:22 and use Opera when under VNC Mar 22 15:55:55 I have edited /usr/share/applications/hildon/x11vnc.desktop Mar 22 15:56:04 the parameter: Exec=/usr/bin/x11vnc -usepw -remap Return-KP_Enter Mar 22 15:56:13 (use password, remap keyboard) Mar 22 15:57:26 maybe somebody here can reproduce and verify/flasify the microB issue. I got no such setup so I could do that right now Mar 22 15:58:40 ok, thank you very much for your time Mar 22 15:58:43 so Mar 22 15:58:50 technically microb acts as a daemon Mar 22 15:59:04 which means that someone could replace tablet-browser-* and still talk to microb Mar 22 15:59:59 timeless_w7ip: is there anything special in the way microB detects mouse events? Mar 22 16:00:32 so it could explain imerso 's problem Mar 22 16:03:23 IIRC microB is doing some magic to decide if that's a stylus or a finger Mar 22 16:03:54 plus some special filtering based on that distinction Mar 22 16:05:21 there definitely has at times been stuff to deal w/ pressure Mar 22 16:05:28 well, I'm new to the N900/Maemo, but not to computing (I work professionally as a programmer) Mar 22 16:05:34 so yeah, it's possible that if there's no pressure you're going to get the wrong behavior Mar 22 16:05:36 I could try to fix that if the source were available Mar 22 16:05:41 perhaps you can hard code a pressure value? Mar 22 16:05:41 but I suppose it's closed source? Mar 22 16:05:49 imerso: could you try paying attention? Mar 22 16:05:54 this was covered 5 or so screens ago Mar 22 16:06:01 and you not paying attention hasn't won you any friends Mar 22 16:06:35 yeah, and as a touchscreen doesn't allow mouse events without button-pressed, I could think of microB ignoring the fact there might be moves that don't click Mar 22 16:06:56 anyway, i'd probably try tweaking the n900 vnc side so that it includes pressure sometimes Mar 22 16:07:06 or something like it Mar 22 16:07:30 note that the browser was more or less developed w/ Xephyr like everything else Mar 22 16:07:41 so if VNC can behave like Xephyr, it should more or less work Mar 22 16:07:58 if it's behaving *less* like Xephyr, then that'd be a bug in its port for Maemo Mar 22 16:08:10 oooh xephyr - good point Mar 22 16:08:24 its=vnc Mar 22 16:10:44 rm_work: :P Mar 22 16:10:51 :P Mar 22 16:10:51 hmm, seems using video glasses with n900 has the disadvantage that I cant see where on the touchscreen I'm trying to tap Mar 22 16:10:56 rm_work: it'll rejuvenate a bit when we have new hardware again. Mar 22 16:11:06 GeneralAntilles: yeah, always does Mar 22 16:11:10 It always gets like this because Nokia is completely incapable of providing continuity. Mar 22 16:11:12 but, who knows when that'll be Mar 22 16:12:31 GeneralAntilles, rm_work: agreed on both counts Mar 22 16:13:23 lardman: was remembering the discussion we had about vectormap server/client system for local or internet stored vectormaps Mar 22 16:13:42 yeah I keep thinking about that, and keep thinking that I don't have the time to do it :) Mar 22 16:13:43 lardman: i don't think we ever actually did anything for that? or if something was done, i never got in on it Mar 22 16:13:48 same >_> Mar 22 16:14:06 I'm thinking about looking into the server portion Mar 22 16:14:14 Nah, I never did anything, but there is now a rendering lib for the OSM data, so it would probably be reasonably simple to setup for that Mar 22 16:14:15 if we can write up a good protocol for it Mar 22 16:14:19 if it doesn't already exist Mar 22 16:14:41 I'd just use whatever Maemomapper asks for, e.g. the Google maps format for tiles Mar 22 16:14:46 does a protocol for serving the vectormaps already exist then>? Mar 22 16:14:50 ah yeah Mar 22 16:14:50 k Mar 22 16:14:59 the lib is supposed to be used internally afaiu Mar 22 16:15:03 yeah Mar 22 16:15:05 libmemphis iirc? Mar 22 16:15:11 cause you serve the pngs Mar 22 16:15:17 Yep Mar 22 16:15:22 yeah i'll look at it Mar 22 16:15:32 i guess really if the server was done, can just use MaemoMapper? Mar 22 16:15:34 as the frontend Mar 22 16:15:41 is there a working branch for N900? Mar 22 16:15:42 But adding that in and also replicating the routing lookup html call would be good for offline routing proividers Mar 22 16:15:44 never actually saw it Mar 22 16:15:59 lardman: yeah was thinking seperate server process for routing Mar 22 16:16:06 @DocScrutinizer: so, if I understood correctly, I could fix that changing X11VNC to pass pressure to the app? Mar 22 16:16:09 rm_work: perhaps you have imgur.com blocked Mar 22 16:16:12 since IIRC it is logically seperate in the GUI Mar 22 16:16:25 pupnik_: ah, yes, but usually i get error images instead of just broken links Mar 22 16:16:34 rm_work: I'd have a single webserver to accept the requests for tiles and routing, then pass those off to separate processes if you want Mar 22 16:16:54 yeah well i suppose it wouldn't be hard to do both in the same app Mar 22 16:16:55 running more than one webserver on the device seems a bit wasteful Mar 22 16:17:09 was just thinking then you could keep tiles offloaded to a server somewhere but do the routing locally Mar 22 16:17:21 if you wanted Mar 22 16:17:26 or VV Mar 22 16:17:29 imerso: I hafe not the faintest idea. But definitely you should be able to configure vnc so it behaves in a way it works with microB Mar 22 16:17:39 well bbl, gotta go to lunch :P Mar 22 16:17:46 You could do that anyway as they both accept different addresses Mar 22 16:17:51 (or configure N900 so it does) Mar 22 16:18:00 rm_work: I'll have a chat with you tomorrow Mar 22 16:18:11 will look into that, thank you. Mar 22 16:19:18 What would also be interesting is reverse engineering the vector data format used by Ovi MAps Mar 22 16:19:33 imerso: obviously something makes the mouse position go to 0,0 when not moving the mouse Mar 22 16:20:38 so microB thinks there's a swipe from 0,0 to current cursor pos whenever that icon appears Mar 22 16:21:44 makes sense Mar 22 16:22:57 is there any simples way to just disable gestures then? Mar 22 16:23:02 i dont use that anyway Mar 22 16:23:26 but that is ok, nevermind Mar 22 16:23:38 as timeless_w7ip explained microB got tested and developed under xephyr, so there is a way to operate it with a standard mouse Mar 22 16:23:39 this clarifies a lot already Mar 22 16:25:14 imerso: please don't think that the cursor in the corner is the cause of the problem Mar 22 16:25:16 but vnc or N900 X might introduce some touchscreenish into the mouse events Mar 22 16:26:47 nah, it's the type and sequence of mouse events that makes that icon appear, and this type and sequence has to change so the icon doesn't appear when it's not supposed to Mar 22 16:27:52 as it seems xephyr knows how to send the proper type and sequence Mar 22 16:28:57 or to pass it thru in a correct way, while on N900 it causes microB to think there's a swipe Mar 22 16:29:02 ok, will try some things (first look into all x11vnc parameters) Mar 22 16:29:24 if I don't find any config solution, will try fixing x11vnc then Mar 22 16:30:09 if i find the time. =) Mar 22 16:30:47 timeless_w7ip: are you sure microB is checking for button_pressed status of mouse-pos events when deciding to detect a swipe? Mar 22 16:31:04 you're asking me if i'm sure about code no one has touched in about 2 years Mar 22 16:31:13 hehe Mar 22 16:31:14 which i barely touched at all in the first place? Mar 22 16:31:32 oh, sorry, don't know which code you touched Mar 22 16:31:39 i touched microb Mar 22 16:31:41 this isn't microb Mar 22 16:31:46 not really Mar 22 16:31:50 it's mostly tablet-browser-* Mar 22 16:32:12 err who else is checking for the swipe that pops up the select icon then? Mar 22 16:32:44 hmm, I think you lost me. Anyway o/ Mar 22 16:32:47 * DocScrutinizer off Mar 22 16:40:22 Man, all of this fancy new tablet hardware. Mar 22 16:40:26 Where is Intel? Mar 22 16:42:32 docscrutinizer: tablet-browser-ui = /usr/bin/browser.launch Mar 22 16:42:40 or whatever Mar 22 16:42:45 microb is /usr/bin/browserd Mar 22 16:42:51 they're unrelated processes Mar 22 16:43:11 but basically anything that's painting and has widget like behavior is probably coming from tablet-browser-ui or its relatives Mar 22 16:44:32 err, you even better lost me now. imerso talked about maemo browser Mar 22 16:45:35 nfc what's the widget like behaviour you mentioned Mar 22 16:45:53 also what is painting here? Mar 22 16:48:03 DocScrutinizer: if you're going to say what vnc "should" do, you should probably keep in mind that Xephyr is an X server, while x11vnc is not, it just injects fake events... there may be limits to what x11vnc can do, xephyr has no such limits Mar 22 16:48:21 doc: maemo browser = /usr/bin/browser = tablet-browser-ui + tablet-browser-.... Mar 22 16:48:43 so Xephyr would work perfectly even with the microb? Mar 22 16:48:46 quite intuitive Mar 22 16:49:02 the backend which actually retrieves data from the wire and thinks about how to talk to web pages and how stuff should appear on the screen = microb(gecko) = /usr/bin/browserd Mar 22 16:49:30 imerso: well, "perfectly" might be overstating it Mar 22 16:49:33 villager: read backscroll, I mentioned that Mar 22 16:49:41 but it worked for most purposes Mar 22 16:49:48 and was used for development/testing Mar 22 16:50:11 ok Mar 22 16:50:59 DocScrutinizer: no, as far as I could tell, all you implied what that vnc did something *wrong* and *should* be able to do anything that xephyr could do, with no more limitations than xephyr Mar 22 16:51:00 or, as said, one could modify x11vnc to pass pressure to the apps Mar 22 16:51:29 reading x11vnc doc I can't find anything related to pressure Mar 22 16:51:34 [2011-03-22 17:25:43] or to pass it thru in a correct way, while on N900 it causes microB to think there's a swipe Mar 22 16:51:53 so I guess it does not pass pressure info, if I understood what you guys said before Mar 22 16:52:07 yes Mar 22 16:53:04 imerso: i'm not guaranteeing it's pressure that's the issue Mar 22 16:53:25 the point is that xvnc is clearly not sending the same set of messages as the real screen Mar 22 16:53:32 I think it's the missing check for button_pressed Mar 22 16:53:34 ok, that I understood Mar 22 16:53:34 DocScrutinizer: yep, that's where you're probably wrong... also "you should be able to configure vnc ..." ... there may be *no way* that vnc can ever "pass through" or "be configured" to do what xephyr can do, since x11vnc does not act as an X server Mar 22 16:53:41 and xephyr to my knowledge sends a better set Mar 22 16:53:44 so the fix is between x11vnc -> apps Mar 22 16:54:02 the message x11vnc is passing to the system Mar 22 16:54:13 villager: sorry if my wording been too fuzzy for you Mar 22 16:55:03 villager: it's possible to emulate an n button mouse by providing a field with a drop down for a button and a set of widgets for Mar 22 16:55:10 but even then, it would be better to use something like xming on PC and xephyr on the n900? Mar 22 16:55:16 but yes, if that makes you feel better, I'm now aware xephyr is an alternative to X while vnc is "an alternative to mousedriver" Mar 22 16:55:21 we're not claiming "pass through" Mar 22 16:55:57 but i know for a fact that vnc does some things which are not "pass through" Mar 22 16:55:58 imerso: no... if the app queries the X server directly about stuff, instead of just looking at messages, then probably x11vnc cannot hope to intercept that since it's not the X server Mar 22 16:56:07 so to claim "oh, vnc can't do it, that violates layering" or something is BS Mar 22 16:56:25 because vnc has widgets and throbs which let it do or compose things instead of simply performing a pass through Mar 22 16:56:41 e.g. it has a menu item for -- Mar 22 16:56:46 though I admit I'm not totally sure how powerful the X-test extension really is Mar 22 16:56:49 because sure, you can't send ctrl-alt-del Mar 22 16:57:00 s/send/capture/ Mar 22 16:57:00 timeless_w7ip meant: because sure, you can't capture ctrl-alt-del Mar 22 16:57:27 but you can insert a result equivalent to one, and it's important enough that they provide a way to do so Mar 22 16:58:31 how do I convert from URL to IP again? Mar 22 16:58:39 hm? Mar 22 16:59:22 nevermind, /dns Mar 22 16:59:42 :D Mar 22 17:00:22 MohammadAG: what did you try todo? Mar 22 17:01:15 do a burnout, didn't work Mar 22 17:02:50 the thing I found most interesting is that even the microb interface around the rendering window works Mar 22 17:03:03 only the rendering window, where the site is loaded, does not work Mar 22 17:04:05 just remembering, everything else works, everything Mar 22 17:04:11 (( will try an action game right now )) Mar 22 17:04:24 trying a game, that does not make any sense, but will try just to see Mar 22 17:05:42 played tetris =) Mar 22 17:06:09 well, sorry but that is a bug within microb Mar 22 17:06:14 that is not a problem with vnc Mar 22 17:07:07 i am playing angry birds Mar 22 17:07:45 DocScrutinizer: well, it's not even a driver. it just uses X-test extension to inject events Mar 22 17:07:46 imerso: if it's a bug in microB then it also would show up when using a mouse with N900 via USB hostmode or BT Mar 22 17:07:58 <_berto_> "The Finnish cellphone maker is still considering its options for tablets and these include MeeGo" http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/03/21/us-nokia-tablets-idUSTRE72K4UU20110321 Mar 22 17:08:17 villager: >yawn> again. Please google for meaning of "ticks" Mar 22 17:08:45 villager: I already granted you're right and I'm wrong and an idiot Mar 22 17:08:54 what else do you want? Mar 22 17:09:32 kthnxby Mar 22 17:11:50 ok then, know what? Mar 22 17:11:59 will be using Opera when under VNC. Mar 22 17:12:04 problem solved. Mar 22 17:21:19 DocScrutinizer: maybe to make clear that I do *not* think you're an idiot, but I tend to assume that people (esp. the technically minded) like to learn about stuff, because I do, and often enjoy people explaining stuff in a non-hostile way to me, even if I was wrong before... that colors my interactions I guess, I want to give back too, after all... Mar 22 17:43:56 http://mises.org/resources/6045/The-Tragedy-of-the-Euro best book on the subject Mar 22 17:47:00 GAN900: fancy new tablets? IE the android ones? Mar 22 17:47:00 or Mar 22 17:47:02 ? Mar 22 17:47:12 rm_work, yeah. Mar 22 17:47:18 Hardware looks nice Mar 22 17:47:20 yeah >_> Mar 22 17:47:23 But . . . Android Mar 22 17:47:32 thinking about buying a Xoom or something and mounting it in my car as a nav system Mar 22 17:47:36 and the fact that I have no use for a tablet. Mar 22 17:47:47 Yeah, actually, that's a nice idea. Mar 22 17:47:50 nav/entertainment/media Mar 22 17:47:56 cause my radio does A2DP Mar 22 17:47:58 so Mar 22 17:48:00 my win7 tablet does its' job perfectly \o/ Mar 22 17:48:10 Android maps is amazing Mar 22 17:48:21 and it could be my music server as well Mar 22 17:48:25 with Pandora / etc Mar 22 17:48:33 I want MeeGo IVI. Mar 22 17:48:34 or passengers could watch TV shows Mar 22 17:52:15 on n800, python needs 250ms to do nothing (python -c "") :) Mar 22 17:52:20 * crashanddie is bored to death Mar 22 17:53:39 firefox rc2 still useless Mar 22 17:56:00 crashanddie, get killzone 3, that way I can kick your ass without even seeing you irl Mar 22 17:56:16 you're implying you'd kick my ass IRL?

Mar 22 18:08:53 highest rating is 15+ Mar 22 18:09:02 so a lot of games can't get sold there Mar 22 18:09:08 MohammadAG: so, what's the challenge? Mar 22 18:09:35 developers often do heavily "cut" versions for the australian market Mar 22 18:10:13 guess you'll likely be missing out on dnf then Mar 22 18:10:42 crashanddie, you can't do a challenge IRL without being in the same country Mar 22 18:10:48 so, you name one :) Mar 22 18:10:49 I won't, I live in austria, no kangaroos here .P Mar 22 18:11:32 do you have kangaroo driving licence Mar 22 18:11:42 lmfao Mar 22 18:11:43 and emu driving licence Mar 22 18:11:44 MohammadAG: Your challenge is: find me a challenge. Mar 22 18:13:30 crashanddie, your challenge is: lose a challenge to me Mar 22 18:13:41 challenge accepted Mar 22 18:13:53 MohammadAG: Challenge: Be a big fat emo prick. Mar 22 18:13:55 I lose.

Mar 22 18:23:43 mate Mar 22 18:23:48 I REMEMBER 1991!!! Mar 22 18:24:42 merlin1991, I went over a 100 in my first lesson Mar 22 18:24:56 so I'll either fail cause 1) I don't have both hands on the wheel, 2) speed Mar 22 18:25:49 MohammadAG, just try not to play with your N900 during your test, and it'll go fine ;) Mar 22 18:26:04 or with anything else for that matter Mar 22 18:26:11 MohammadAG: if you're on the right road over 100 is just fine :P Mar 22 18:26:17 130 max here :D Mar 22 18:26:25 even for young drivers? Mar 22 18:26:26 merlin1991, 30 Mar 22 18:26:50 crashanddie, I'm doing a legal 110 on friday, so yeah Mar 22 18:27:09 crashanddie: yes, there's no difference how long you have the license speed wise, only the allowed alcohole level is even lower if you're a "young driver" Mar 22 18:27:09 well Mar 22 18:27:13 it depends on the country Mar 22 18:27:29 alcohol level is the same for all ages, as long as you can drink Mar 22 18:27:35 in France for example, young drivers have to drive 110 instead of 130 on highways, and 100 instead of 110 on motorroads Mar 22 18:27:47 bah we have 100 on all motorroads Mar 22 18:27:50 :D Mar 22 18:28:26 tbh the speed difference is the least problem Mar 22 18:28:38 not really Mar 22 18:28:46 because by default you drive as fast as the cars around you Mar 22 18:29:04 though, that's a long forgotten memory in my case :P Mar 22 18:29:10 hehe Mar 22 18:29:18 Got my motorbike licence revoked for doing 180 in a 50 zone :P Mar 22 18:29:48 nah what I meant is, that a new driver will drive as bad driving 110 or 130 Mar 22 18:30:01 scorched3d could really use a GLes port http://www.scorched3d.co.uk/ Mar 22 18:30:04 with that regulation you just get them frustrated, because everyone is taking over them Mar 22 18:30:23 except an experieced driver can anticipate other driver's behaviour a lot better than a young one Mar 22 18:30:37 merlin1991, watch it Mar 22 18:31:08 I drive well @ 100 :P Mar 22 18:31:43 crashanddie: that's why you usually keep distance from other cars, and more if you're new to the business :D Mar 22 18:31:55 except that's the theory Mar 22 18:31:57 * haj 's motorbike can only do 80.. kph.. Mar 22 18:32:00 :) Mar 22 18:32:09 no tickets here.. Mar 22 18:32:11 how many young drivers have you seen that drive in your ass? Mar 22 18:32:17 heh, on my first lesson I always tried to get the least distance Mar 22 18:32:23 for teh lulz Mar 22 18:32:26 haj: heh, mine goes 130 downhill with wind in my back ;) Mar 22 18:33:00 crashanddie: honestly the people how drive in my ass here are guys that are 50+ and have expensive suvs Mar 22 18:33:11 crashanddie: mine runs out of RPM at 80.. its this old war-horse.. http://gallery.nathue.dk/tingsager/dnepr/2011-01-30/.cache/1280x852-_MG_0485.jpg Mar 22 18:33:12 well, those too Mar 22 18:33:22 the general rule is that most drivers suck at driving Mar 22 18:33:23 crashanddie: it's like 55 years old.. ;) Mar 22 18:33:31 sweet Mar 22 18:33:50 That looks so cool mate Mar 22 18:33:55 thanks.. :) Mar 22 18:34:04 I topped my car @ 170km/h downhill with wind in the back :P Mar 22 18:34:17 it runs pretty nice.. when you get used to the low top speed.. :) Mar 22 18:34:57 haj: http://www.flickr.com/photos/slauwers/4886039427/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/slauwers/4769108495/ Mar 22 18:35:09 on the smaller roads it's really fun riding with the sidecar.. especially with a light "sandbag" so it's possible to get the wheel flying. .;) Mar 22 18:35:42 crashanddie: uhm. a 125? or something like thaT? Mar 22 18:35:47 yeah Mar 22 18:35:49 ah, it says on the page Mar 22 18:36:26 what kind of licence do you need to ride one of those? Mar 22 18:36:35 in France just the car licence is OK Mar 22 18:36:56 well, not anymore, if you can't prove you had one before 2011, you need to undergo 7 hours of training (350 euros) Mar 22 18:37:33 I'll probably get my motorcycle licence again over the summer or something Mar 22 18:39:45 I had to do training for like 150 euros in order to be allowed to ride with the sidecar.. Mar 22 18:40:23 really weird training... we spend most of the time balancing the bike on 2 wheels.. ;) Mar 22 18:40:37 hm .. I better go make some food.. *away* Mar 22 19:34:40 crashanddie, you can drive a bike with a car's license? :/ Mar 22 19:34:53 aye Mar 22 19:38:47 MohammadAG: For some reason some politicians think that you can't really get hurt on a small bike.. ;) Mar 22 19:39:32 crashanddie, can I have your bike? Need to prove something to politicians Mar 22 19:42:52 MohammadAG: I hear that here in Denmark we'll have 3 different kind of bikes next year.. x-small bikes, 11kw that 16year olds can ride, small ones, 25kw for 18-21year old, and then no limit, 21-?? Mar 22 19:42:59 MohammadAG: the likelihood is that you're only going to hurt yourself. Mar 22 19:43:00 So, meh. Mar 22 19:46:43 A little off-topic. I need some simple XMPP/Jabber client for Symbian s60 for not-nerdy girl. What would be good? Mar 22 19:48:02 haven't yet found the issue... Mar 22 19:48:19 erm... such a client I meant Mar 22 19:48:27 mhm Mar 22 19:49:53 might try nokias own Mar 22 19:50:05 I forget what it's called Mar 22 19:50:17 but it iirc requires a login into nokia before you can login to jabber Mar 22 19:52:18 i asked this before but no one answered. Nokia isn't going to give us anymore updates for the n900 right ? i'm asking because i disabled all the nokia and ovi repositories keeping only maemo, testing,ssu etc Mar 22 19:52:47 xd13, cssu you might want to add ;) Mar 22 19:53:17 well ya Mar 22 19:53:20 it is Mar 22 19:53:28 then I think you're more or less good Mar 22 19:53:34 i said all those at the end i have in theer Mar 22 19:53:53 i know refreshing is a lot faster without nokia and ovi in the repo list Mar 22 19:53:59 I think the next nokia update will be the meego developer edition for the n900 Mar 22 19:54:13 i want the phone 2 run smooth Mar 22 19:54:31 from the videos i've seen not as smooth as i want it, but if they can improve i'll b on top of it Mar 22 19:56:42 videos always show things the way they aren't Mar 22 19:57:07 well once it becomes popular and ppl start trying we'll hear more reviews Mar 22 19:58:12 wish nokia gave us a ghz phone with the same capabilities as n900 and more bat life Mar 22 19:58:18 but i think thats all of us here Mar 22 19:58:24 nope Mar 22 19:58:29 just 512mb of mem Mar 22 19:58:58 battery life is rather good already(4days here for me and my use case)... or most of a day of music playing/other use... Mar 22 19:59:20 i've never really ran it 2 empty Mar 22 19:59:38 usually give it 2 days unless i have 2 use it a lot one day in which i charge every night Mar 22 20:01:30 moin Mar 22 20:30:30 Hey everyone, I have a question... I just installed nitdroid, and now the multiboot wont shop up on restart of the phone... Could it have become inactive somehow? Mar 22 20:31:18 nit-booter, what is nitdroid? Mar 22 20:31:41 Android version for N900 Mar 22 20:32:23 does it run in a window? Mar 22 20:32:28 Multiboot works, it just refuse to show up on start... Mar 22 20:36:18 lcuk, it's installed on a Micro sdcard and you boot it up when you start the phone Mar 22 20:37:13 what benefits does it have? Mar 22 20:38:26 Android? Mar 22 20:38:48 yes Mar 22 20:38:52 lcuk, android is another OS for the phone Mar 22 20:39:03 yes, so what benefits does it have Mar 22 20:39:12 only benefit is getting access to android market i guess Mar 22 20:39:41 so what cool apps are there from the market? Mar 22 20:39:57 250k to choose between Mar 22 20:40:08 geez, how havnt you heard about Android? Mar 22 20:40:12 mentioning numbers does not sway me Mar 22 20:40:24 nit-booter, :) of course I have heard of android Mar 22 20:40:56 I am asking what benefits it has over other OSes Mar 22 20:41:25 Well, if you are after the XBMC remote you can download it from the androidmarket instead of making your own ;) Mar 22 20:41:49 i have a remote myself Mar 22 20:41:57 the xbmc one would not work on my computer Mar 22 20:42:14 but then there are others - like bluemaemo etc Mar 22 20:42:17 goddamnit, why doesnt multiboot start with phone start? Mar 22 20:42:29 Bluemaemo uses bluetooth, bluetooth drains battery Mar 22 20:42:51 android manages to talk to remote devices without draining battery? Mar 22 20:42:56 now THAT is a feature! Mar 22 20:43:03 ... Mar 22 20:43:18 i guess he means an ir remote? Mar 22 20:43:20 The particular app im after uses HTTP instead of bluetooth Mar 22 20:43:25 oh Mar 22 20:43:34 im always connected to wifi anyways Mar 22 20:43:39 ok Mar 22 20:43:41 nit-booter, ahhh, you mean one that uses wifi instead of bluetooth Mar 22 20:43:54 * lcuk likes http remote controls :) Mar 22 20:44:04 turning the tv over from another ocuntry is useful and fun (seriously!) Mar 22 20:44:12 it really winds the missus up! Mar 22 20:44:40 haha# Mar 22 20:44:45 So, does anyone had the same problem with Multiboot not starting at phonestart? :o Mar 22 20:45:29 nit-booter, does android on the n900 have all the normal android apps? Mar 22 20:46:30 It has access to Android Market Mar 22 20:47:24 nit-booter, I remember seeing some sort of map thing on androids that works quite well Mar 22 20:47:28 is that available? Mar 22 20:47:56 guess so, I havnt gotten that far yet Mar 22 20:48:00 it looks a bit like cloudgps from my recollection Mar 22 20:48:08 reinstalling kernel power atm... Mar 22 20:48:51 * lcuk wonders what the calendar on android looks like Mar 22 20:49:23 android talk? has people here surrendered? Mar 22 20:49:33 nitdroid talk Mar 22 20:49:33 :D Mar 22 20:49:57 ds3, just wondering what makes people use it - whether there are any great things Mar 22 20:50:18 so far there is a market thingy, but no specific decent apps or games mentioned Mar 22 20:50:34 XBMC remote is a decent app worth getting :P Mar 22 20:50:57 the full xbmc is available o nthe n900 meego Mar 22 20:51:21 lcuk: it is good for selling new devices Mar 22 20:51:34 market is a very bad idea Mar 22 20:51:53 you have to sign in and put your credit card number in a system that you don't control/understand Mar 22 20:51:58 wtf is that Mar 22 20:52:10 i don't mind that part Mar 22 20:52:18 I already did that with mrs lcuk Mar 22 20:52:28 as all women are the same (cannot control/understand) Mar 22 20:52:45 Well why would I need XBMC on my phone? Thats just stupid... My movie library wont even fit by 10%... Mar 22 20:52:54 ah, but you probally get a better return then stupid apps Mar 22 20:53:12 nit-booter: you don't carry around a 1TB drive? :D Mar 22 20:53:25 ds3, sadly I have a life... ;) Mar 22 20:54:05 im soon giving up and getting a media keyboard for my computer :/ Mar 22 20:54:21 Goddamnit, the phone is double-restarting now... Mar 22 20:55:20 nit-booter, this android seems unstable :( you should use a proper os Mar 22 20:55:41 nit-booter: well, maybe not 1TB but a 2.5" battery powered drive is very carryable Mar 22 20:55:46 No, its the multiboot-kernel that wont start on phonestart Mar 22 20:56:19 do all android phones support this multiboot? Mar 22 20:56:30 perhaps you would be better just putting maemo/meego on them instead Mar 22 20:57:29 nitdroid still doesnt support voice call right? Mar 22 20:58:15 As stated before, nitdroid is installed on a micro sd card, so I still boot up Maemo... But I want the multiboot menu but it doesnt show! Mar 22 20:59:12 nit-booter: boot with keyboard drawn out? Mar 22 20:59:22 can you, with nitdroid - ssh out to a shell and be able to use screen... i.e. send a ctrl-a? Mar 22 20:59:57 Turbowei, I am... :/ Mar 22 21:00:22 * lcuk goes and washes hair and stuff Mar 22 21:00:27 good luck nit-booter \o Mar 22 21:01:06 wooop woop! re-flashed kernel power, works now! :D Mar 22 21:03:47 ds3, I dont know tbh... Mar 22 21:07:32 nit-booter: does nitdroid support voice call? Mar 22 21:10:59 GeneralAntilles, heh Mar 22 21:11:16 I'll pass on meego conf, dates collide with my exams :/ Mar 22 21:11:30 Lame. Mar 22 21:12:05 MohammadAG, meego-fi conf too? Mar 22 21:12:33 MohammadAG: see if you can take them early. Mar 22 21:12:53 GeneralAntilles, can't, they're worldwide Mar 22 21:12:58 lcuk, hmm? Mar 22 21:13:19 so, mIRGGI isn't very useful on the n8 Mar 22 21:13:26 it doesn't expect devices not to have a keyboard / keypad ... Mar 22 21:14:33 btw, there's a new Opera version for Fremantle Mar 22 21:15:14 What would be the most awesome program for N900? Mar 22 21:15:19 and a Firefox for Mobile rc, which is probably going to be final Mar 22 21:15:23 Hats off to opera guys if they keep updating... Mar 22 21:15:36 Oooh Mar 22 21:16:32 somewhere there's also apparently a Chromium with crypto support Mar 22 21:16:42 but i don't know where :) Mar 22 21:26:19 crypto supporrt? Mar 22 21:26:56 there are browsers without crypto? Mar 22 21:27:04 There are a number of programs for n900 I'd like. From a widget that turns the flashlight on when camera cover opened downwards, on out. Mar 22 21:33:06 SpeedEvil: That's a good idea that. Mar 22 21:43:07 * turbowei is loving Qt, but the project is turning into a rewrite of java, probably that is where it is stretching too far. Mar 22 21:43:55 which package ships python-qscintilla on maemo? Mar 22 21:43:58 is there any Mar 22 21:43:58 ? Mar 22 21:44:36 apt-file Mar 22 21:45:44 FauxFaux: hm? Mar 22 21:46:01 It's a tool that tells yuo which package ships a file. Mar 22 22:41:48 anyone wanna do my ulm paper for university? :D Mar 22 22:41:58 s/ulm/uml/ Mar 22 22:41:59 merlin1991 meant: anyone wanna do my uml paper for university? :D Mar 22 23:28:54 I can't help it, but ff4 looks like opera to me :D Mar 22 23:36:45 merlin1991: FF was always a cheap knockoff of Opera Mar 22 23:40:20 chx: uh, what? Mar 22 23:40:41 BCMM: some years ago i was keeping track of the things FF stole from Opera but i stopped Mar 22 23:40:52 "was always"? Mar 22 23:41:21 firefox derives from the mozilla suite, which derives from netscape navigator. which substantially pre-dates opera. Mar 22 23:41:38 heh Mar 22 23:41:56 ls Mar 22 23:42:08 argh Mar 22 23:42:09 (also, it's abbreviated "Fx", not "FF") Mar 22 23:42:19 * SpeedEvil hits BCMM with a pedantr. Mar 22 23:42:54 SpeedEvil: bin dev etc porn opt ok i'm not actually a shell Mar 22 23:43:51 if i were actually bash, i'd get p and o in the right order. Mar 22 23:50:13 good morning Mar 22 23:52:09 morning! Mar 22 23:53:28 BCMM: Opera had tabbed browsing in 2000, Mozilla in 2001, Phoenix in 2002 Mar 22 23:53:37 BCMM: that's just one in the long list of features.... Mar 22 23:53:51 yeah, i hate it when useful features get copied by other applications Mar 22 23:54:00 BCMM: of course that's fine Mar 22 23:54:07 simple ideas that get invented in closed-source applications should stay closed forever Mar 22 23:54:27 BCMM: i just found for some time a bit frustrating that people cheer firefox and stun opera while Opera was far superior to Firefox Mar 22 23:55:06 BCMM: but oh well, i no longer care nor i use Opera, I switched to Chrome, it became 100% unusable by now, so I am now on FF4. *shrug* Mar 22 23:55:11 that's what they get for being closed, tbh Mar 22 23:55:49 i left firefox for konqueror Mar 22 23:55:55 because hte KDE integration is rather nice Mar 22 23:55:56 * chx shakes head Mar 22 23:56:02 webkit is good. Mar 22 23:56:04 Open source is not superior to closed Mar 22 23:56:24 I say that despite being one of the lead developers of a quite big open source project Mar 22 23:56:26 didn't say that, just said that it doesn't help gather fanboys Mar 22 23:56:30 In some ways it is. Mar 22 23:56:35 some ways yes Mar 22 23:56:39 But in others, not. Mar 22 23:56:52 Open source suffers hideously from people working onthe shiny bits. Mar 22 23:57:10 And in many cases on _way_ too many people with commit rights. Mar 22 23:57:26 Leading to policy decisions being made by one dev at 3 in the morning. Mar 23 00:01:11 Well, it's usually the UI tha tsuffers Mar 23 00:01:24 design and open source development do not go together well apparrently. Mar 23 00:05:07 Hi folks, I am following these instructions to get socat running on boot: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=62838 . But for some reason, socat is not starting up on boot. Any ideas? Thanks. Mar 23 00:27:15 good way to have pidgin start on boot? I have crap loads of contacts in the many protocols it supports. (also, why does it take like three tries for it to open every time I reboot?) Mar 23 00:27:49 internetishard: Can you start it from the commandline? If so - use queen beecon Mar 23 00:27:57 To launch a script on display loading Mar 23 00:29:09 ah Mar 23 00:29:27 also, do you have any idea why I have to restart sometime for my tmo connection to become visible? Mar 23 00:29:58 this usually happens when it cuts out (there is a house I get very little reception in, so when I leave I have to restart it for tmo connection to become visible again sometimes) Mar 23 00:35:34 I'm unsure, sorry. Mar 23 00:35:44 It sometimes does that for me too Mar 23 00:38:47 last time i saw that switching to gsm and then back to 3g fixed it Mar 23 00:39:18 (using that mode switch widget or whatever its called) Mar 23 00:40:22 yeah Mar 23 00:40:22 ah, I'm usually in gsm Mar 23 00:40:30 Sometimes I need to switch off/on Mar 23 00:40:42 oh cool. opera browser update for diablo :) Mar 23 00:40:44 any idea why it takes 3 or more tries to successfully launch pidgin most times? Mar 23 00:40:57 (had to wipe .opera to get it to work) Mar 23 00:41:29 duh Mar 23 00:42:12 I gather it's not available via my age old catalogs Mar 23 00:42:17 internetishard: strace? Mar 23 00:43:10 for Diablo it's in opera's repo. For fremantle, it's in extras-testing Mar 23 00:44:25 SpeedEvil: what's this strace thing? Mar 23 00:44:37 am I supposed to check something to see if that's the reason? Mar 23 00:44:45 (connection loss) note that scanning all bands/channels takes lots of energy, so all modems have a strategy to exponetially increase the idle time between scans with no result. This can cause pick up of new connection takes place hours after it becomes available Mar 23 00:45:13 DocScrutinizer: yeah - not that. Mar 23 00:45:32 DocScrutinizer: It will occasionally lose connection in high signal strengrth areas. Mar 23 00:46:04 DocScrutinizer, so that means I should manually disable and enable the gsm setting in order for it to pick up again? Mar 23 00:46:41 online -> offline ->online can fix it too Mar 23 00:47:10 internetishard: if you were long time in an area where no connection was available and now you suspect you got better signal and wabt to speed up the process, then yes Mar 23 00:47:38 indeed, thanks Mar 23 00:47:52 what about this pidgin not starting until I try to start it about 3 times? Mar 23 00:47:54 I should really send mine in for fixing. Mar 23 00:48:39 internetishard: trying to place a call *might* as wel trigger a scan. Depends on firmware / build/model Mar 23 00:49:26 but entering&leaving airplane mode is a sure bet Mar 23 00:49:42 k ,thanks Mar 23 00:49:53 for usual "phones" that'S off&on cycling Mar 23 00:49:59 Sometimes that doesn't help for me - a reboot is needed. Mar 23 00:50:43 SpeedEvil: lockup of I2C communication to modem? In OMAP? Mar 23 00:50:49 Dunno. Mar 23 00:51:00 I haven't investigated it as I should Mar 23 00:51:06 Too much boring stuff to do. Mar 23 00:51:53 well, it's not too hard to spot all the processes that happen on a reboot but not during airplane-mode cycling Mar 23 00:52:06 yeah Mar 23 00:52:13 e.g modem still gets power even during boot/off Mar 23 00:52:20 I know. Mar 23 00:52:33 thinkin like a scientist DocScrutinizer, I like it Mar 23 00:52:51 internetishard: I *am* a scientist Mar 23 00:53:00 What science do you study? Mar 23 00:53:02 CS? Mar 23 00:53:06 would be sad I'd not think like one Mar 23 00:53:10 EE Mar 23 00:53:20 and physics Mar 23 00:53:26 Well, I meant experimental scientist Mar 23 00:53:27 cool Mar 23 00:53:37 what are you primary physics interests? Mar 23 00:53:45 internetishard, he has an advanced diploma in bikini watching too o_O Mar 23 00:53:46 ATM dark matter Mar 23 00:53:53 mater* Mar 23 00:53:54 don't we all lcuk Mar 23 00:54:04 I'd like to give you some books Mar 23 00:54:11 * lcuk is a postgraduate Mar 23 00:54:11 and ask for tutoring on one that I'm trying to read Mar 23 00:54:20 +_+ Mar 23 00:55:10 I'm wondering why dark mater can't build planets / other objects, like barionic mater tends to do Mar 23 00:55:19 or does it? Mar 23 00:56:22 I tend to think dark mater is a hoax, like ether Mar 23 00:56:54 eventually physics will go past that stupid concept Mar 23 00:57:23 If it does not interact strongly with itself, for example. Mar 23 00:59:25 imo it doesn't have enough density to form smth more than dust on your desk... Mar 23 00:59:35 how could that be? It interacts with barionic mater even - buzzword gravity Mar 23 01:00:20 interacts != has enough mass to form a planet Mar 23 01:00:21 so it must collect inside barionic objects, according to the already existing gravity pool Mar 23 01:00:59 If for example, it repels itself over much greater distances. Mar 23 01:01:08 sorry, it's too late for me to do that kind of talk, gotta sleep Mar 23 01:01:11 g'night Mar 23 01:01:13 <[Steven_M]> hi, what are the differences between maemo and meego, aren't they related projects? Mar 23 01:01:23 hahah DocScrutinizer, thanks for being smart... One of the books I was wanting to recommend was about why dark matter is a hoax Mar 23 01:01:50 Night Scorcerer Mar 23 01:02:02 even if it can't "friction" decelerate itsaelf due to missing interaction, the gravity friction with barionic mater would decelerate dark mater so it must collect in 'real' planets/stars Mar 23 01:02:54 Indeed. Mar 23 01:03:19 Matter is complex because of its self-interactive properties - bonds et al Mar 23 01:04:06 DocScrutinizer, I usually look at this from a history of physical science perspective Mar 23 01:04:19 ether, yeah ;-D Mar 23 01:04:22 why dark matter and dark energy were introduced, and the models and those rationales were based on Mar 23 01:04:28 indeed Mar 23 01:04:37 <[Steven_M]> so you guys don't believe in dark matter? Mar 23 01:04:37 ether was much more elegant that both imo Mar 23 01:04:43 or black holes ;] Mar 23 01:05:03 black holes are a fact Mar 23 01:05:04 damn DocScrutinizer, you're cooler than I assumed Mar 23 01:05:23 how do they work without dark matter and dark energy DocScrutinizer? Mar 23 01:05:38 my avatar look like ass for some reason :-P Mar 23 01:06:31 internetishard: there are alternative theories, that are not proven to be false though not as widely accepted as hot/cold dark mater concept Mar 23 01:07:02 <[Steven_M]> anyway, getting back to Maemo, is the n900 the only phone it will run on? Mar 23 01:07:14 yes Mar 23 01:07:19 And there are alternative cosmic models upon which other theories are based Mar 23 01:07:43 What did you think about hawkin's admittance of light being able to escape black holes? Mar 23 01:08:10 <[Steven_M]> DocScrutinizer: was that yes to me? Mar 23 01:08:10 well, tunneling is an effect I'm dealing with in my job as EE every day Mar 23 01:08:17 yes Mar 23 01:09:03 what EE stuff do you work on? Mar 23 01:09:36 internetishard: pur heissenberg and event horizon in a glass and stir, and you got energy escaping black holes Mar 23 01:09:55 internetishard: N900 ;-P Mar 23 01:10:02 you work at nokia? Mar 23 01:10:06 lol, not sure I get it Mar 23 01:10:13 no - thank god not Mar 23 01:10:18 <[Steven_M]> DocScrutinizer: cool, did you see my earlier question? Mar 23 01:10:31 err, which one Mar 23 01:10:35 How do you get paid to work on the n900? Mar 23 01:10:44 not at all :-( Mar 23 01:11:06 Do you work on its hardware at all? So you're retired? Mar 23 01:11:11 I'm following Diogenes' philosophy Mar 23 01:11:24 not really... Mar 23 01:11:49 about to check a freelancer job to mess up your car computers ;-P Mar 23 01:11:52 you don't seem that cynical Mar 23 01:12:08 <[Steven_M]> DocScrutinizer: what are the differences between maemo and meego? Mar 23 01:12:14 ooh, you seem to not know me. You're new in this chan? Mar 23 01:12:58 [Steven_M]: duh. I'd think a lot, and also little. Check the meego wiki Mar 23 01:12:58 No, been seeing you on this channel for a while, but until you mentioned this stuff about physics, I didn't have the desire to look into you Mar 23 01:13:28 I think I've proven about my overly cynical nature several times Mar 23 01:13:50 I know it's bad but I feel good with it Mar 23 01:13:54 I'm interested in the possibilities OSS might bring to car computers Mar 23 01:14:00 like with smoking ;-P Mar 23 01:14:21 any books to recommend about car comps? Mar 23 01:14:33 :shrug: Mar 23 01:14:48 automotive is the topic Mar 23 01:15:00 yeah.... Mar 23 01:15:04 ##hardware internetishard? Mar 23 01:15:11 lol, got it Mar 23 01:15:21 quite harsh conditions, and a unique set of requirements Mar 23 01:15:27 I was just curious what DocScrutinizer would say since he said it is a big interest. Mar 23 01:15:34 Ah Mar 23 01:15:50 Doing a car PC that is reliable is hard Mar 23 01:16:11 no, not a *big* interest, just a perspective for beer and dognuts Mar 23 01:16:46 why is it harder that making a phone that is reliable? Mar 23 01:16:55 where do you live DocScrutinizer? Mar 23 01:17:01 EMI in a car is way worse Mar 23 01:17:05 D Mar 23 01:17:15 my phone works well in cars Mar 23 01:17:23 + better faraday cages Mar 23 01:17:47 Car power may vary from 8-16V in 'normal' use, and -40 to 80V under fault conditions. Mar 23 01:18:02 nasty surges on VDD, wet, hot, cold, shocks of several 100G Mar 23 01:18:26 insects, rodents Mar 23 01:18:31 dust Mar 23 01:19:21 indeed Mar 23 01:19:23 and you moving at a speed of 130 MPH and make PLOP like an egg if something bad happens to any relevant subsystem Mar 23 01:19:32 which makes me think of better ways of hooking the thing up Mar 23 01:19:44 better wiring, etc Mar 23 01:20:01 yeah, similar rationales to blackboxes in airplanes Mar 23 01:20:08 exactly Mar 23 01:20:21 that's automotive Mar 23 01:20:57 <[Steven_M]> DocScrutinizer: the wiki doesn't really outline the differences, could you or somebody else please outline some of them? Mar 23 01:21:13 car cd players that cheat on components tend to break and fail during some 6 to 12 months Mar 23 01:22:00 [Steven_M]: meamo has closed components (C)Nokia. Meego doesn't (errr *cough*) Mar 23 01:22:20 meego doesn't?... Mar 23 01:22:33 see the brackets :-= Mar 23 01:22:36 :-) Mar 23 01:23:11 <[Steven_M]> DocScrutinizer: ok thanks :) Mar 23 01:23:32 well, meego was designed not to have, until they ran into xprot, bme, dunnowhat Mar 23 01:24:49 ofono also is more closed than open I'd dare to say. In a sense it's based on NDA'd specs to some degree Mar 23 01:25:17 s/sense/sense that/ Mar 23 01:25:18 DocScrutinizer meant: ofono also is more closed than open I'd dare to say. In a sense that it's based on NDA'd specs to some degree Mar 23 01:28:43 LIS5523 driver also based on NDA'd specs and exploiting only 30% of the chip's capabilities Mar 23 01:28:58 DocScrutinizer, ? Mar 23 01:29:33 complain about many things, but from what I know ofono does its job in the open Mar 23 01:29:37 while virtually nobody knows about the doubled storage, the full set of ALU and branch/jump and MUX opcodes Mar 23 01:29:54 <[Steven_M]> next question, does the N900 use SIM cards, and does anyone know whether it will work with New Zealand cell phone networks? Mar 23 01:30:04 lcuk: I said it's *based* on closed docs partially Mar 23 01:30:41 [Steven_M], yes it does use SIM cards. It shouldn't have issues in .nz Mar 23 01:30:46 as for example several properties of our N900 BB5 FW version aren't explained in that open wireless specs Mar 23 01:30:50 DocScrutinizer, it is an open interface into something that has been historically extremely closed - something to be greatly applauded Mar 23 01:31:09 lcuk: I never opposed that Mar 23 01:31:10 yes, you might have deeper questions, but cmon give them credit where it is due Mar 23 01:31:55 <[Steven_M]> psycho_oreos: thanks :) Mar 23 01:32:41 ok, credit to ofono for implementing wireless modem API and some NDA'd stuff beyond Mar 23 01:32:57 [Steven_M], it definitely has SIM card slot :) that I know for sure. The latter part I don't think its not going to work. Just be sure to check if yer phone provider uses one of those usual bands Mar 23 01:33:34 DocScrutinizer, :) writeup your questions about the rest of the stuff officially and in a manner that allows them to be answered well Mar 23 01:33:50 and see whether the response is in the same manner Mar 23 01:34:20 * lcuk is actually going to use this advice for something else himself Mar 23 01:34:32 hmm, I gave up on pushing for e.g. service monitor mode access for BB5 Mar 23 01:34:59 <[Steven_M]> psycho_oreos: will do Mar 23 01:36:16 lcuk: and the problems about our cmt FW version doesn't match the GPS specs in wireless modem API got covered by jonwil in epic length Mar 23 01:36:20 <[Steven_M]> Despite having closed parts, Mameo is still mostly GNU/Linux, right? Mar 23 01:36:31 yes Mar 23 01:36:46 <[Steven_M]> good :) Mar 23 01:36:56 DocScrutinizer, I know all about epic length! being concise and focused in questions might garner a better reaction. Mar 23 01:37:08 well, all of kernel and much of basic system is. middleware and apps, erhm Mar 23 01:38:00 lcuk: I've been concise when asking tekojo about ServiceMonitor Mar 23 01:38:44 you can look up the whle story in this chan's logs as of more early last year Mar 23 01:39:08 sure, but IRC is not the place to get big answers really? Mar 23 01:39:32 I explained concise and clearly we need neighbour cell list for advanced location services Mar 23 01:40:22 also need TA and some other parameters were a nice to have Mar 23 01:41:01 tero delegated it to some Nokia guy and asked him to report back *here*. Never happened Mar 23 01:41:27 DocScrutinizer, so you have not heard back from questions Mar 23 01:41:32 when I asked half a year later, tero said it's not considered relevant OWTTE Mar 23 01:41:49 OWTTE? Mar 23 01:41:57 ~owtte Mar 23 01:41:58 owtte is probably or words to the effect Mar 23 01:42:30 ok, so have you spoken on the ofono ML about it? Mar 23 01:42:54 nah, as it's not my genuine area of expertise and interest Mar 23 01:43:26 sure, so find someone who can talk the lingo and see whether they can translate and see Mar 23 01:43:30 and I don't plan to join there and make a name and reputation to earn a similar answer Mar 23 01:44:06 <[Steven_M]> Last question: If you guys were in the market for your first Linux phone, (like me) would you buy an N900 and run Maemo, or would you wait for a Meego phone to be released? Mar 23 01:44:56 it's simply a function in cmt that's not documented in wireless modem API, so nobody except Nokia can do anything about it, andNokia isn't considering it worthwile, according to tekojo Mar 23 01:45:14 sure doc Mar 23 01:45:19 hoping for a meego phone to come out is a bit of a gamble.. plus there's ports underway for meego to run on N900 Mar 23 01:45:25 If I was not in urgent need, I'd wait for the meego phone to be released, and then consider a n900 from ebay if it doddn't suit. Mar 23 01:45:30 * lcuk sleeps Mar 23 01:45:53 [Steven_M]: clearly buy 2 N900 Mar 23 01:47:41 night lcuk Mar 23 01:48:41 <[Steven_M]> ok, thanks all for your input :-) Mar 23 01:48:55 yw Mar 23 01:50:01 <[Steven_M]> see you all later Mar 23 02:03:27 >>Apps developed with the Qt SDK 1.1 Beta are now being accepted into the $10 million (USD) Calling All Innovators North America contest presented by AT&T and Nokia Mar 23 02:06:12 http://wl4.peer360.com/b/L7R40AsFFAi5B85268O5/mle.asp?EID=195757&hl=94639427 Mar 23 02:07:28 why does your webbrowser copy the HTML code and not the character DocScrutinizer ? Mar 23 02:12:00 meh, DSL down Mar 23 02:14:21 yo yo all , was wandering if there is an app for n900 so i can edit png icons Mar 23 02:19:42 yo yo all , was wandering if there is an app for n900 so i can edit png icons Mar 23 02:27:12 hello Mar 23 02:27:49 hello Mar 23 02:31:28 moo Mar 23 02:35:38 I hate those DSLAM downtimes without any prior notice Mar 23 02:35:51 service downtime? Mar 23 02:36:21 hey, does the new firefox rc have flash? Mar 23 02:36:45 in soviet adobe, flash has you! Mar 23 02:37:21 okay??? Mar 23 02:42:13 firefox will never "have flash" Mar 23 02:43:14 have it enabled? Mar 23 02:44:18 i remember previous versions had it. i tried going to about:plugins and the plugins menu and its not to be found.
