**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Oct 25 02:59:57 2011 Oct 25 04:19:59 is there a way to tell apt-get to reinstall a package even if the package is already installed? Oct 25 04:20:12 without first removing it Oct 25 04:22:46 found ity Oct 25 04:23:27 --force-reinstall or sth like that Oct 25 04:24:03 --reinstall ? Oct 25 04:41:29 ping Oct 25 04:41:44 which device friendly repo has make? Oct 25 04:56:48 lmao Oct 25 04:57:11 anyone any good with autoconf and makefile.am files? Oct 25 04:57:11 my n900 is shipping from overseas and wont get here for a month Oct 25 04:57:28 awesome Oct 25 04:57:55 i dont think my g2 is going to last much longer. it is on its last limb Oct 25 04:58:02 :-) Oct 25 05:22:46 hello all Oct 25 05:22:52 what's the best twitter client? Oct 25 05:24:56 hmm. sounds like khweeteur vs. tweedsuit Oct 25 05:25:00 that's not a reasonable question. Your definition of best and ours could be completely different. Oct 25 05:25:21 doc|home: true. I thought about that. I figured that if there were a clear winner, that would emerge Oct 25 05:25:48 e.g., if you say what's the best desktop in linux, you'll get 4 answers out of a possible 20+ desktop environments out there Oct 25 05:25:50 if it's down to two then try both and see which you prefer Oct 25 05:25:57 doc|home: yeah, will do. Oct 25 05:26:01 what do you use, if any? Oct 25 05:26:17 I don't, twitter's a waste of time :P Oct 25 05:26:34 of course it is! Oct 25 05:26:39 but communication in general is : ) Oct 25 05:26:54 there's such a thing as productive twitter :) Oct 25 05:27:01 er, damn it Oct 25 05:27:04 productive communcation Oct 25 05:27:14 there's such a thing as productive twitter, too Oct 25 05:27:20 rubbish Oct 25 05:27:27 my usecase is pretty good Oct 25 05:27:29 now you're just being ridiculous Oct 25 05:27:40 I used to receive links about interesting articles from people via email Oct 25 05:27:52 I had filters more or less categorize them in appropriate folders Oct 25 05:28:01 now, by and large those people have all moved to identi.ca/twitter Oct 25 05:28:14 the good ones are still referencing/linking good articles for me to read Oct 25 05:28:24 just in a different place. Oct 25 05:28:47 I actually don't understand why you can't follow public twitter feeds without an account, actually Oct 25 05:28:57 but no real client has that functionality Oct 25 05:29:21 anyhow, I think that if you back off of your dogmatic view of twitter as total garbage, you'll realize that you can dumpster dive some good stuff sometimes Oct 25 05:29:33 either way, you're still in a dumpster Oct 25 05:30:10 people eat out of dumpsters Oct 25 05:30:24 sometimes really delicious stuff Oct 25 05:30:29 oh, well, when you put it that way... Oct 25 05:30:38 like a friday night outside a grocery store.. yum! Oct 25 05:30:58 I'm going to go over here now to talk to the not-crazy dumpster-food eating people Oct 25 05:31:00 ----> Oct 25 05:31:03 :) Oct 25 05:31:07 hahahahaha! Oct 25 05:31:43 what's your main means of communication? Oct 25 05:32:06 hmm. khweeteur's installation segfaults Oct 25 05:33:38 sweet! tweedsuit lets you add RSS feeds too! Oct 25 05:33:42 but no identi.ca Oct 25 05:35:20 as expected, both together would be the perfect product Oct 25 05:39:28 bah, cant figure out this makefile and debian stuff Oct 25 05:51:17 Anyone here any good with automake/autoconf/dpkg? Oct 25 07:57:14 jonwil, just ask Oct 25 09:01:21 DocScrutinizer2, I need to download a charger script? where to find it? Oct 25 09:02:51 ~hostmode-charging Oct 25 09:02:52 well, hostmode-powered is http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=921203#post921203 Oct 25 09:03:10 jack_lt: http://enivax.net/jk/n900/charge.sh.txt Oct 25 09:03:28 404 Not Found Oct 25 09:03:48 use this one actually.. latest http://enivax.net/jk/n900/charge21.sh.txt Oct 25 09:04:10 ok thx Oct 25 09:09:49 logger stopping vboost && boostoff Oct 25 09:10:00 do I need anything special to run this? ^ Oct 25 09:10:10 no. Oct 25 09:10:17 k Oct 25 09:10:46 just run the charge script.. just make sure to use the correct order, ie, don't connect external power before hitting VBoost ON Oct 25 09:11:13 the other commands he put in there were for testing, etc. u don't need them Oct 25 09:15:12 if u are using latest booston script, the dialog to the effect that usb power has been shut down for no reason is not an error msg. took me long to learn Oct 25 09:23:59 Sicelo^, charging seems to work, but my keybd doesn't work yet together with charging Oct 25 09:24:14 Sicelo^, i've it connected to the active hub Oct 25 09:25:19 Sicelo^, Y-cale, 2xA + 1x mini B: main A to upstream hub, other A to downstream hub (charging), usb keybd to other downstream hub Oct 25 09:31:48 did it get recognized after enumeration? check dmesg Oct 25 09:41:30 http://fpaste.org/a4KZ/ Oct 25 09:41:47 Sicelo^, Oct 25 09:41:49 I dont understand 700$ for the N9? Oct 25 09:51:04 hi lardman Oct 25 09:51:08 coming to fosdem? Oct 25 09:52:55 hmm Oct 25 10:00:51 try with only the y-cable Oct 25 10:02:16 without hub? Oct 25 10:03:04 yes Oct 25 10:04:35 with charger? Oct 25 10:04:59 ./charger Oct 25 10:05:26 yeah. see doc's pic as well. Oct 25 10:06:20 also, u may want to restart h-e-n. Oct 25 10:12:50 it has nothing to charge from I guess Oct 25 10:13:28 without hub Oct 25 10:14:59 when do u run logger stopping boostoff Oct 25 10:15:38 after booston and connecting usb y + hub? Oct 25 10:16:29 or before connecting usb stuff Oct 25 10:17:17 u don't need those. just run hen as usual. when u enable vboost, connect your whole setup to N900. enumerate... Oct 25 10:17:31 then you can start the charging script Oct 25 10:30:12 hm i ve my keybd connected with y only Oct 25 10:30:21 no charging Oct 25 10:30:35 low speed Oct 25 10:30:52 keybd conn. to main A Oct 25 10:31:23 how do u connect the B to N900? Oct 25 10:31:53 micro B directly Oct 25 10:33:28 your Y-cable has direct conn to N900? wow! Oct 25 10:34:00 with micro usb Oct 25 10:34:56 hmm if I start charger now and connct other A to hub it seems to charge Oct 25 10:35:02 ok. so u must. 1) connect external power to y-cable. and connect kbb. but not to N900 yet. 2) start hen, then soon after u hit Vboost, connect the whole thing to N900 Oct 25 10:35:32 3) start the charge script.. u can also enumerate at this time Oct 25 10:36:08 this is what i described right? Oct 25 10:37:15 keyb to main Oct 25 10:37:20 low speed Oct 25 10:37:44 micro usb to n900 Oct 25 10:37:52 then i dunno why it's not working. my n900 is actually happier with external power than without Oct 25 10:37:54 othet A to hub Oct 25 10:38:10 its working now Oct 25 10:38:16 afaik Oct 25 10:38:57 working? as well as charging? Oct 25 10:39:08 looks like Oct 25 10:39:41 but keybd is directly to n900 via Y Oct 25 10:39:52 :) Oct 25 10:39:58 does that mean it sucks more power? Oct 25 10:40:08 or gets its power from the hub via the Y Oct 25 10:40:25 u also have hhub connected? Oct 25 10:40:32 s/hh/h/ Oct 25 10:40:32 Sicelo^ meant: u also have hub connected? Oct 25 10:40:55 hey cityLights Oct 25 10:41:05 one A from Y goes to the hub to get power Oct 25 10:41:12 the non main A Oct 25 10:41:14 sorry for the slow reply, probably joined when I switched laptop on and checked my mail Oct 25 10:41:31 ok. it's fine like that Oct 25 10:41:49 the percentage from .charger does it give the state of battery? Oct 25 10:42:01 power is coming from the hub. N900 has stopped providing that power. Oct 25 10:42:07 from 58 to 60% now Oct 25 10:42:30 charger script is working fine. :) u are charging, yes.. and it is correct state of battery Oct 25 10:42:44 ok cool Oct 25 10:42:52 ha ha nice nice Oct 25 10:43:03 geeky that is ;) Oct 25 10:43:32 very :P Oct 25 10:43:38 i use it to show off, lol Oct 25 10:43:50 he Oct 25 10:43:59 need to go now very fast .. Oct 25 10:44:00 thx Oct 25 10:44:02 bbl Oct 25 10:44:12 * jack_n900 comes too late Oct 25 11:04:15 Sicelo^: thanks Oct 25 11:09:50 thanks too :) Oct 25 11:16:41 feel the love Oct 25 12:57:00 http://adage.com/article/digital/nokia-windows-phone-miss-holidays-u-s/230604/ Oct 25 12:59:46 Insane. Oct 25 13:00:00 And it's probably too late to push n9s into the chanel, even if they wanted Oct 25 13:11:44 bah, this damn thing still wont build properly :( Oct 25 13:36:32 can anybody advise some working how-to to install nitdroid UMay on internal mmc? Oct 25 13:36:42 i've looked here http://wiki.maemo.org/Nitdroid_easy_install_on_EMMC#Installing_Nitdroid Oct 25 13:36:52 but not sure if it works Oct 25 13:37:03 because there's no instruction to install multiboot Oct 25 13:37:38 Wow! Oct 25 13:37:39 http://www.dealextreme.com/p/n9-3-5-lcd-touch-screen-dual-sim-dual-network-standby-quadband-gsm-cell-phone-java-black-103485 Oct 25 13:37:54 An N9 for $76.40 ;) ;) ;) Oct 25 13:37:57 lol Oct 25 13:38:49 It does Java! That must be good, right? Dual sim, too! Oct 25 13:39:37 vdv: i haven't used it. but i suppose multiboot comes in at step 2, Enable (all) repos Oct 25 13:40:41 which is followed, after a few steps, by apt-get install nitdroid-installer Oct 25 13:52:21 Sicelo, thanks Oct 25 13:55:37 Sicelo, but you have nitdroid installed on internal mmc? Oct 25 13:55:59 no. i don't use nitdroid. what i said is guesswork Oct 25 13:56:22 This channel does not support nitdroid Oct 25 13:57:10 :P Oct 25 14:01:02 * jonwil wonders why people dont like nitdroid that much... Oct 25 14:01:09 Is it something to do with android generally Oct 25 14:01:18 or is the port to the Nxxx just crap? Oct 25 14:01:40 * Sicelo^ understands it to be 2 Oct 25 14:07:49 man, our server load just went from 40 to 800 in 15 minutes Oct 25 14:08:14 CPUs still at around 60% tops, 30-40% average Oct 25 14:09:43 crashanddie: IO?

Oct 25 15:08:09 how can i get list of installed packages? with dpkg -l? Oct 25 15:19:10 yes. another way is dpkg --get-selection (and --set-selection is its inverse) Oct 25 15:32:22 DocScrutinizer, ok keybd + charger seems to working. nice Oct 25 15:33:19 i ve usb directly to main A Oct 25 15:33:32 of Y Oct 25 15:33:44 micro B to n900 Oct 25 15:33:55 other A usb to hub for power Oct 25 15:34:08 low speed as without hub Oct 25 15:40:46 e.g. usb keybd directly to main A of Y-cable via FF adapt. Oct 25 15:49:07 e.g. usb keybd directly to main A of Y-cable via FF adapt. Oct 25 17:06:13 Can I install maemo on Nokia N8? Oct 25 17:07:49 not possible Oct 25 17:09:57 hm Oct 25 17:15:49 ok Oct 25 17:16:12 there is only one nokia phone which has maemo installeed, right? Oct 25 17:17:35 Well, arguably there are /3/. Oct 25 17:17:39 But Nokia doesn't market it that way. Oct 25 17:17:44 One escaped. Oct 25 17:17:48 It wasn't really released. Oct 25 17:17:53 Yes Oct 25 17:17:54 So, two. Oct 25 17:17:59 the other is discontinued Oct 25 17:18:01 But one for sale now. Oct 25 17:18:08 and the latest one is mostly not available to anybody living in a real country. Oct 25 17:18:54 is it worth buying a maemo phone? Oct 25 17:19:04 pwn3dU: the n9? Oct 25 17:19:19 Investigate it, see if it appeals to you. Oct 25 17:19:23 when there is iPhones and Android? Oct 25 17:19:34 maemo is linux, right? Oct 25 17:19:53 Yeah Oct 25 17:20:03 iOS and Andoid are Suffering, though. Oct 25 17:20:09 unlike andridiot Oct 25 17:21:40 in maemo can I compile and run most of the linux porgrams? Oct 25 17:22:56 pwn3dU, yes, but the same is true for webOS and Android to a lesser extent Oct 25 17:23:29 I Android I can't compile and run conventional linux programs Oct 25 17:23:59 In android all the programs run under Dalvik VM Oct 25 17:24:23 erhm, no. Oct 25 17:24:36 In Android, you can run regular C apps, you just need to link against the Android libc. Oct 25 17:26:55 really? Oct 25 17:27:28 Do you even understand what Android is? Oct 25 17:27:31 ffs Oct 25 17:27:32 for some weird definition of "run" that might be true Oct 25 17:28:26 Android is linux Oct 25 17:28:48 the programs you write are in java Oct 25 17:28:51 err, not really Oct 25 17:28:56 I know you can Oct 25 17:29:00 run c in anroid Oct 25 17:29:21 using the NDK Oct 25 17:30:15 But it's not like a linux machine, I want to weather maemo fells like linux? Oct 25 17:30:22 whether Oct 25 17:30:54 yes, maemo fremantle pretty much feels like it should Oct 25 17:31:50 *whether Oct 25 17:32:19 mostly FHS conforming, all the usual commands are available, the kernel is OSS and 99.x% linus-head Oct 25 17:32:22 crashanddie: autocorrect on my mac Oct 25 17:33:24 @DocScrutinizer that sounds good Oct 25 17:33:27 all the usual libs are there as well, with same API Oct 25 17:34:56 for harmattan though you got this thing called aegis that forbids I guess 70% of what I'm used to do on my linux machines on a daily basis Oct 25 17:35:29 hmm, i thought they managed to bypass it? Oct 25 17:35:35 so harmattan kinda is like a linux system without root access Oct 25 17:36:09 on n9 i have just put my binaries to /home/user/bin and they seem to work as they should Oct 25 17:36:19 running on from terminal Oct 25 17:36:28 jaska: well, you can boot your own kernel without aegis, and watch the userland system break into pieces Oct 25 17:36:29 from terminal Oct 25 18:19:34 Ok, so they are notreleasing WP7 phones to the US Oct 25 18:19:52 Doing Europe first. So much for Elop's wonderful new strategy. Oct 25 18:20:19 lol Oct 25 18:20:46 If we are lucky, we will have pleasure to watch 'em release these into the same markets they released N9 to =) Oct 25 18:21:43 Awesome. Oct 25 18:26:56 RST38h: So Belgium and.... Kazakhstan? Oct 25 18:27:29 yeah Oct 25 18:30:54 The train stations in Denmark are full of N9 advertisements these days. Oct 25 19:09:44 hi all Oct 25 19:11:25 hey ya AcTiVaTe Oct 25 19:11:28 I was wondering if anyone could tell me why I can't get others to join my hotspot using Qt Mobile Hotspot Oct 25 19:12:12 on my laptop I don't even see the network and specfying the SSID by hand didn't change a thing Oct 25 19:20:51 DocScrutinizer, so keybd + charger is working now ... :) Oct 25 19:21:08 thx Oct 25 19:21:34 yw Oct 25 19:31:18 bbl Oct 25 21:10:22 * javispedro sighs at the recent tmo overclocking thread Oct 25 21:16:49 ooh Oct 25 21:16:58 the one I left? :-D Oct 25 21:29:59 that one indeed. Oct 25 21:36:17 * DocScrutinizer headdesks Oct 25 21:36:52 * DocScrutinizer blames javispedro for making him read posts like http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=1113633&postcount=79 Oct 25 21:37:20 lol Oct 25 21:37:24 you are entirely to blame Oct 25 21:37:33 I don't usually sigh after reading a high quality post ;P Oct 25 21:37:48 right Oct 25 21:38:47 * DocScrutinizer is afraid of next sleep - nightmare of getting a job at first level helpdesk pending Oct 25 21:39:24 a helpdesk job? Oct 25 21:39:47 a large, red, flashing "ABORT MISSION" usually appears on my brain after the word helpdesk is heard Oct 25 21:39:52 I might have a nighmare of that Oct 25 21:41:32 the "is it safe" thread gave my subconscious enough of ideas for a decent nightmare next night. And I'm actually about to sign an employment where it's unclear what I will have to do, so... :-O Oct 25 22:24:56 * DocScrutinizer idly wonders what happpened to that guy who wanted to swap borked eMMC for a uSD some days ago. Did he succeed in editing all mmcblk[01] occurrences and movinf /home and swap (and MyDocs) over to uSD? Oct 26 00:14:02 anyone here good with autoconf/automake who can take a look at my makefiles and see why they arent doing what I want? Oct 26 00:14:08 Relavent bits are at http://www.cncmods.net/files/cbspatch.zip Oct 26 00:15:15 I just cant get it to output the cbspatch binary :( Oct 26 00:21:01 jonwil: i am to lazy to download/unzip it, may you paste the relevent parts to a pastebin? Oct 26 00:23:27 http://pastebin.com/zrVCsWn8 Oct 26 00:23:34 Thats got the 3 relavent files pasted into it Oct 26 00:23:46 or what should be the relavent files Oct 26 00:34:03 eek SUBDIRS= :P Oct 26 00:35:02 jonwil: noinst_PROGRAMS = cbspatch Oct 26 00:35:15 instead cbspatch_PROGRAMS = Oct 26 00:36:09 Is that what I want if I am using dpkg to package this binary up? Oct 26 00:36:24 nope .. you asked for building it :) Oct 26 00:36:24 or whatever the command is Oct 26 00:36:31 well bin_PROGRAMS then? Oct 26 00:36:34 ok Oct 26 00:36:48 ok, bin_PROGRAMS it is Oct 26 00:36:52 note: i dont know about package building Oct 26 00:37:00 just a bit of autotools Oct 26 00:37:32 I just need to know what the right statement is for that so that the binary will end up in /usr/bin if I did a "make install" Oct 26 00:37:37 then the dpkg bits should do the rest Oct 26 00:38:07 yes bin_PROGRAMS then Oct 26 00:38:46 ok Oct 26 00:38:58 so bin_PROGRAMS causes output to go to /usr/bin and not /bin? Oct 26 00:41:22 $prefix/bin Oct 26 00:41:27 whatever your prefix is Oct 26 00:41:47 by default its /usr/local .. but i bet debian package sets it to /usr Oct 26 00:43:48 ok Oct 26 00:44:47 ok, I did things and its now just saying "make: nothing to be done for 'all'" Oct 26 00:45:01 with bin_PROGRAMS set Oct 26 00:45:19 just running normal make, not dpkg stuff Oct 26 00:45:27 having re-run automake etc Oct 26 00:45:40 normally not (if yes then your packaging is broken) Oct 26 00:45:51 oh well .. using SUBDIRS= is broken :P Oct 26 00:46:08 but check if it created the binary Oct 26 00:46:20 in the build dir (or some subdir, depending on the setup) Oct 26 00:46:29 it didnt create the binary Oct 26 00:47:42 sorry i avoid recursive builds .. to much pita Oct 26 00:47:52 when I run autoreconf to do the autoconf bits, it says "unused variable: cbspatch_SOURCES" Oct 26 00:48:02 rather doing a include for sub makefiles Oct 26 00:48:09 yes Oct 26 00:48:37 eh what have you now?
