**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed Sep 12 02:59:59 2012 Sep 12 04:20:00 Thanks. I got configure Samba server at N810 Sep 12 05:12:04 * RST38h yawns Sep 12 09:39:31 in harmattan sdk is i386 version of bme, seems same as armel Sep 12 09:39:48 maybe this version can be used in ida... Sep 12 10:21:11 could anyone please remind me, if i get non-functioning cameras and "APMD disconnected" after massive update which includes power kernel, which packages should I reinstall? Sep 12 10:43:26 Arkenoi: APMD is advanced power monitor Sep 12 10:43:38 non-functioning cameras... weird, did you have fcam installed? Sep 12 10:50:21 "fcam-drivers is already the newest version" Sep 12 10:55:22 and how do i repair apmd? Sep 12 10:55:47 uninstall fcamera fcam-drivers hdrcapture lowlight Sep 12 10:55:49 then reinstall those Sep 12 10:55:56 i don't know about apmd, sorry Sep 12 10:56:02 maybe uninstall and reinstall Sep 12 10:56:11 (purging the config files in the meantime, so do the uninstall with --purge) Sep 12 11:00:26 ok. camera works now, but i still have no idea how to fix or diagnose apmd Sep 12 11:01:02 batterygraph works properly meanwhile Sep 12 11:12:56 which would be better for P2P voice chat; bluetooth or wifi? Sep 12 11:14:53 at Bluetooth ranges, just put the phone down. Sep 12 11:15:14 Motorcycle to motorcycle. Sep 12 11:15:37 I'm sshing from pc to my n900 via putty on windows, but I find the speed is slow Sep 12 11:15:42 what's wrong? Sep 12 11:15:52 vi_: power-wise? Sep 12 11:15:52 I have disabled power saving mode Sep 12 11:15:58 i think the audio quality could be better via wifi Sep 12 11:16:10 LaoLang_cool: cpu, maybe? Sep 12 11:16:25 LaoLang_cool: try usb networking Sep 12 11:16:28 kerio, you mean n900's cpu is slow? Sep 12 11:16:45 LaoLang_cool: is it just a bit of lag in the shell? Sep 12 11:16:49 LaoLang_cool: It is a common problem. No one knows why it is sometimes slow as shit. Sep 12 11:16:54 kerio, yes, a bit of lag Sep 12 11:16:55 or are you trying to push data through it? Sep 12 11:17:06 my english is poor ;p Sep 12 11:17:06 eeh, wifi "problem" Sep 12 11:17:06 laolang_cool, try disabling powersaving on n900 wifi Sep 12 11:17:10 flux: he did Sep 12 11:17:12 oh Sep 12 11:17:13 WiFi may well be longer range Sep 12 11:17:14 LaoLang_cool: try usb networking Sep 12 11:17:26 kerio, yes, my networking is a wifi enviroment Sep 12 11:17:38 in any case, doing that will destroy battery life, so better turn it back on if it didn't help :) Sep 12 11:17:39 I have piss ssh performance over wifi when on top of my access point sometimes. Sep 12 11:17:51 Running dd-wrt. Sep 12 11:17:57 vi_: use two walkie talkies Sep 12 11:18:00 with the power cranked cranked illegally high. Sep 12 11:18:12 vi_, so it's probably saturating the radio Sep 12 11:18:13 flux, oh! thank your for reminder, I will enable it Sep 12 11:18:16 also, n900 version off sshd is fucking ancient. Sep 12 11:18:21 vi_: i've found that increasing the tx power only makes the connection worse :( Sep 12 11:18:24 I seriously doubt sshd has anything to do with this Sep 12 11:18:33 the same can probably be observed with ping Sep 12 11:18:35 that said, i increased it a bit from the default Sep 12 11:18:43 flux: nope. Sep 12 11:19:03 flux: run a constant ping in the background and performance still sucks asses. Sep 12 11:25:55 ssh to maemo is useless at all, so much lag Sep 12 11:26:24 lag is solely due to power save in my experience Sep 12 11:26:27 A time wasting thing :) Sep 12 11:26:27 maybe try nice on the sshd? Sep 12 11:26:40 wild guess :) Sep 12 11:26:56 also, see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLCOTpjBGcs&feature=youtube_gdata_player Sep 12 11:27:16 I don't know, I set up the ssh connection by wiki step by step, I have no knowledge on ssh at all ;p Sep 12 11:29:19 * kerio doesn't have a lot of lag Sep 12 12:05:29 * DocScrutinizer05 neither Sep 12 12:06:02 since I'm using this (otherwise shit from hell) DIR-615 Sep 12 12:14:30 i'm using a sweet, sweet wrt-610n Sep 12 12:19:20 [GENERAL NOTICE] if you're using CSSU-T, do NOT use "update all" in HAM, you need to first install/update the opername widget, only *then* go update the rest.

Sep 12 12:31:37 DocScrutinizer05: the thing is, having thumb packages at a higher version than normal ones prevents you from going back to the normal -testing Sep 12 12:32:20 hypothetically, if fmg gets hit by a bus and nobody else picks up the community-thumb project Sep 12 12:32:41 i know how much you like hypothetical situations that won't happen ;) Sep 12 12:36:03 but Sep 12 12:36:05 but Sep 12 12:36:08 thumb rules. Sep 12 12:36:19 indeed, but the versioning is apparently FUBAR Sep 12 12:36:21 we just noticed it Sep 12 12:36:36 it should've been $version+thumbX, it's $version-thumbX Sep 12 12:36:41 and that apparently makes apt shit its pants Sep 12 12:36:53 sometimes Sep 12 12:37:09 well who has cssu-t AND thumb repo enabled? Sep 12 12:37:15 ...everyone? Sep 12 12:37:24 why? Sep 12 12:37:33 -thumb only has a small number of recompiled packages, the rest come from -testing Sep 12 12:37:50 well fck testing. lets just go thumb. Sep 12 12:37:58 that would be an option, yes Sep 12 12:38:11 it is the only option. Sep 12 12:38:22 N900 is a 3 year old device. Sep 12 12:38:47 Stop getting so hung up about doing things 'proper' and 'the debian way'. Sep 12 12:39:23 ditch cssu-t Sep 12 12:39:25 vi_: CSSU is also stacked on top of the nokia repos Sep 12 12:39:45 well idgaf. Sep 12 12:39:48 fuck everything. Sep 12 12:39:55 it's repos all the way down! Sep 12 12:40:00 cssu-thumb is the way it is going to be. Sep 12 12:40:41 if you do not want it, go suck a fuck. Sep 12 12:40:57 And use pr 1.1 or something. Sep 12 12:41:04 DocScrutinizer05: i think estel stole vi_'s account Sep 12 12:41:06 D: Sep 12 12:41:27 N900 is out of developers and out of time. Sep 12 12:43:12 vi_: (well fck testing. lets just go thumb.) that's nonsense unless you meant that as a policy for your local device. cssu-t is trsting for cssu-s, and cssu-s never will go thumb just for the leeteness Sep 12 12:58:14 vi_: still doesn't help the versioning issue Sep 12 13:44:49 ~ping Sep 12 13:44:50 ~pong Sep 12 14:07:55 Does anyone here use the qtcreator for maemo application development? Sep 12 15:02:07 in C, dafuq this means: Sep 12 15:02:16 a &= b Sep 12 15:02:23 a |= b Sep 12 15:02:34 a &= ~b Sep 12 15:02:38 a |= ~b Sep 12 15:05:13 last one is easy :D Sep 12 15:05:31 actually all those make sense if I'm right about ~ Sep 12 15:05:58 a &= b would store in a the bitwise and of a and b, a |= b is bitwise or Sep 12 15:06:18 a &= ~b would be bitwise and of and inverted b Sep 12 15:06:19 ... Sep 12 15:08:48 Pali: how fast is M32G? Sep 12 15:08:59 kerio, it is usable Sep 12 15:09:07 but slower than the normal mtd install? Sep 12 15:09:21 somebody wrote that no, somebody yet Sep 12 15:09:24 *yes Sep 12 15:09:29 hm Sep 12 15:09:54 I installed a lot of apps and I have a lot of files here, it is slower on my n900 Sep 12 15:09:57 but still usable Sep 12 15:10:18 Pali: you probably know this better than me - is there a sensible way to mount /usr from the eMMC early in the boot process? Sep 12 15:10:44 kerio, not easy Sep 12 15:10:47 :( Sep 12 15:10:48 i figured Sep 12 15:10:54 why you need it? Sep 12 15:11:10 the "easiest" way would be to unconditionally mount it right before init is launched, but then i screw up bootmenu Sep 12 15:11:32 Pali: because the rootfs situation in fremantle on the n900 is absurd Sep 12 15:11:53 kerio, this is very hard... I think you never got fully working solution... Sep 12 15:12:03 use then M32GB Sep 12 15:12:13 it is what you want Sep 12 15:12:19 Pali: eeh, not quite Sep 12 15:12:20 but yeah Sep 12 15:12:42 M32GB load maemo from /home/user/maemo5 Sep 12 15:12:56 also /opt is in /home/user/maemo5 Sep 12 15:13:02 the thing is, with /usr out of the way then it's possible to disable ubifs compression Sep 12 15:13:25 ubifs compression is ok Sep 12 15:13:32 it's really not Sep 12 15:13:37 it's a kludge made to help with the little space Sep 12 15:13:43 it is faster then eMMC Sep 12 15:13:49 but slower than it could be Sep 12 15:13:58 or something Sep 12 15:14:30 Pali: a good way of doing M32G would be a separate partition on the eMMC Sep 12 15:14:44 kerio, also possible Sep 12 15:15:07 just create new partition and edit "copy" script and bootmenu item Sep 12 15:15:36 and you need to edit /etc/init.d/rcS-late which mount & generate /etc/fstab Sep 12 15:28:48 merlin1991: thank you! Sep 12 17:10:50 i'm confused about the cssu update process Sep 12 17:11:16 it asks to create a backup, i create backup, then the whole update process starts again Sep 12 17:11:28 and it won't let me update without backing up Sep 12 17:14:19 jonne|reconnecte, read this http://wiki.maemo.org/Community_SSU/Installation_FAQ Sep 12 17:17:27 ah, conflict with operator name widget Sep 12 17:18:20 (( but slower than it could be)) not necessarily - if CPU (de)compression can keep up with, or is even faster than IO Sep 12 17:18:47 DocScrutinizer05: fire up another general notice pls Sep 12 17:19:03 [GENERAL NOTICE] if you're using CSSU-T, do NOT use "update all" in HAM, you need to first install/update the opername widget, only *then* go update the rest.

Sep 12 17:45:51 sort of Sep 12 17:45:55 it's meh Sep 12 18:04:50 also as usuall DocScrutinizer05 recovery strategy is a tad overkill Sep 12 18:05:05 hm, no microusb port compatibility in the iphone 5 Sep 12 18:05:08 quit ham wait 5 min start ham wait, do update opername wait update cssu is enough Sep 12 18:05:14 wasn't that required, in europe? Sep 12 18:07:26 not sure about that, kerio Sep 12 18:07:32 i think it's weird too Sep 12 18:08:15 then again, iphone connector does way more than can be done with microusb, so they'd need to either drop that feature or put 2 ports in their phone Sep 12 18:08:23 neither of which are an attractive option Sep 12 18:15:42 USB charging is mandatory in Europe and China. Micro-USB is mandatory by USB-cert Sep 12 18:15:58 there's no such thing like mini-USB anymore, officially Sep 12 18:16:24 NFC about devices that don't ahve *any* USB connector Sep 12 18:18:36 I'd guess neither USB-cert nor any EU-commission or China Gvmt can force a manufacturer to build a USB port to his product just for charging Sep 12 18:19:19 if however it already _has_ any USB, it's mandatory that this can do charging too Sep 12 18:20:12 (btw that's what basically fucked up N900 hostmode) Sep 12 18:20:46 wait, why? Sep 12 18:21:17 i guess for future-proofing Sep 12 18:21:22 (since, to allow charging from fastcharger, they had to swap PHY chip to allow D+/- detect, which in turn broke hostmode/OTG) Sep 12 18:21:26 i see Sep 12 18:21:51 because otherwise manufacturers would be stuck adding usb ports on phones that are perfectly capable of wireless charging + data exchange Sep 12 18:22:01 in 10 years Sep 12 18:22:06 oh, the previous NITs couldn't charge from usb? Sep 12 18:22:12 USB isn't going to last forever Sep 12 18:22:18 nope Sep 12 18:22:48 that's why flashing instructions for N8x0 differ from those for N900 Sep 12 18:22:53 well, that's convenient Sep 12 18:23:03 N8x0 won't power up on plugging in USB Sep 12 18:23:53 hmm, upgrade's been stuck on my n900 for a while now Sep 12 18:23:59 wonder what's going on Sep 12 18:24:02 so you flash N8x0 entirely while running from battery Sep 12 18:24:07 * jonne|reconnecte ssh's into phone Sep 12 18:25:00 * DocScrutinizer05 suspects jonne|reconnecte used something other than HAM for update on CSSU Sep 12 18:25:20 HAM == app manager? Sep 12 18:25:24 yep Sep 12 18:25:32 is what i used Sep 12 18:25:43 i do have fapman installed, though Sep 12 18:25:53 well, it can take like 5 minutes of timeout Sep 12 18:26:07 DocScrutinizer05: do you still have to boot to charge? Sep 12 18:26:18 ssh can't connect Sep 12 18:26:18 where? Sep 12 18:26:27 kerio: ^^^ Sep 12 18:26:44 DocScrutinizer05: in the N8x0 Sep 12 18:26:48 sure Sep 12 18:26:51 lame Sep 12 18:26:52 :c Sep 12 18:27:00 even worse than N900 Sep 12 18:27:07 completely sw-controlled Sep 12 18:27:09 by bme Sep 12 18:27:20 no flatbat recovery? D: Sep 12 18:27:21 madness Sep 12 18:27:31 a nasty legacy we still suffer from, on N900 Sep 12 18:28:01 kerio: I think it has some flatbatrecover means Sep 12 18:28:09 or capabilities Sep 12 18:28:16 not really nice though Sep 12 18:29:08 I guess it's just that N8x0 can actually boot with flatbat, since power is from dedicated charger that is known to provide 1A Sep 12 18:29:52 charging however needs CPU Sep 12 18:30:13 unlike N900 where bq24150 can do that autonomously Sep 12 19:38:37 hello guyd Sep 12 19:38:42 guys* Sep 12 19:39:14 why the new SSU update ask for connection to pc?

Sep 12 20:05:19 fredrinLap: wait Sep 12 20:05:39 21.2011.38-1Tmaemo4 Sep 12 20:05:44 that's the old one alright Sep 12 20:05:56 * tadzik tries HAM again Sep 12 20:06:04 I am on 21.2011.38-1Tmaemo4-thumb16 Sep 12 20:06:06 actually very old, since I thought last one been T4.1 Sep 12 20:06:17 fredrinLap: that's right Sep 12 20:06:25 fredrinLap: just wait a couple of days Sep 12 20:06:32 fmg needs time to recompile everything Sep 12 20:06:37 ok Sep 12 20:06:40 and besides, there's the versioning issue to sort out Sep 12 20:07:02 I'll wait, want to have ssh working though Sep 12 20:07:16 tadzik: the latest was 4.1, are you sure the repos are set correctly? Sep 12 20:07:31 anyway, i suppose people should refer to cssu-thumb as cssu-θ when abbreviating Sep 12 20:07:50 cssu-WHAT? Sep 12 20:07:57 kerio: I don't think I modified the repos after enabling cssu-t Sep 12 20:08:01 I guess that's Unicode Thumb Sep 12 20:08:18 it should be U+03B8, GREEK SMALL LETTER THETA Sep 12 20:08:37 it's the IPA for the voiceless dental fricative Sep 12 20:08:40 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voiceless_dental_fricative Sep 12 20:09:07 huh. I told HAM to update stuff, and it didn't even notice it's offline Sep 12 20:09:29 tadzik: you updated with HAM, or used other deprecated methods, before? Sep 12 20:10:22 DocScrutinizer05: always with HAM Sep 12 20:10:28 strange Sep 12 20:10:32 well, I usually update with FAM Sep 12 20:10:37 but not CSSU Sep 12 20:10:46 hmm Sep 12 20:10:52 here we go Sep 12 20:11:18 tadzik: run apt-get upgrade (without confirming) and tell us what it tells you Sep 12 20:11:39 hold on, I clicked "Install" in HAM, and now it demanded the internet and does updates Sep 12 20:11:43 let's see where it goes Sep 12 20:11:43 I couldn't even guess what fapman would think may get autoremoved when you install7update arbitrary stuff with it Sep 12 20:11:43 yay Sep 12 20:12:03 DocScrutinizer05: doesn't fapman use the apt algorithms? Sep 12 20:12:44 tadzik: you're sure you ever did "update catalogs"? Sep 12 20:13:16 tadzik: IE you maybe set your auto-update period to 57 years or sth? Sep 12 20:13:40 kerio: nfc Sep 12 20:13:47 ok, it now noticed Sep 12 20:13:51 DocScrutinizer05: yes, I did Sep 12 20:14:08 I thought it'd maybe update it anyway if I explicitely say "update stuff" Sep 12 20:14:10 apparently not Sep 12 20:14:16 nope Sep 12 20:14:28 not reliably at least Sep 12 20:15:28 I also had to select "update catalogs" from HAM menu yesterday Sep 12 20:15:58 simply hitting the rightmost huge button in HAM doesn't really cut it Sep 12 20:16:03 fredrinLap: i made this for you :) http://i.imgur.com/tHSqg.png Sep 12 20:16:20 huh, I have no "update catalogs". Only something along "restore catalogs" (I have Polish translatino) Sep 12 20:16:29 kerio: :D Sep 12 20:16:38 no, "restore applications" even Sep 12 20:16:54 and now it says "no catalogs in use", bastard Sep 12 20:16:55 umm, well, edit catalog or whatever Sep 12 20:18:15 * kerio looks at aptitude, that installs a .desktop launcher for hildon that just says "sudo aptitude" Sep 12 20:18:19 * kerio sighs Sep 12 20:18:22 i don't even Sep 12 20:18:40 well, there's an ncurses app there, maybe Sep 12 20:18:49 with minesweeper and all this Sep 12 20:18:51 no, i mean Sep 12 20:19:03 it doesn't install a matching file in sudoers.d Sep 12 20:19:07 so i can't actually launch it Sep 12 20:19:14 tadzik: I click "catalogs" arbbitrary catalog from list, "strore" and close the requester by clicking background Sep 12 20:19:16 without abusing the sudo timeout Sep 12 20:20:37 tadzik: maybe, when clickung "update" frontpage button, HAM also does hidden update, but it takes a while and until then there's showing "no updates available" Sep 12 20:20:50 ok, it's pretending to work now Sep 12 20:21:01 I ran apt-get update, which complained about some bollocks, but now HAM works Sep 12 20:21:06 * tadzik shrugs Sep 12 20:21:13 fair enough Sep 12 20:21:18 ;-P Sep 12 20:22:45 I guess the trick is to keep the "update" screen open for some 5 minutes and wait till the notice "no updates available" gets replaced by the true message Sep 12 20:23:00 uh. It now wants me to use Nokia PC Suite? Sep 12 20:23:10 *sigh* Sep 12 20:23:11 tadzik: read the general notice Sep 12 20:23:17 ah, the Operator Widget Sep 12 20:23:21 my bad, sorry Sep 12 20:23:23 [GENERAL NOTICE] if you're using CSSU-T, do NOT use "update all" in HAM, you need to first install/update the opername widget, only *then* go update the rest. Read http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=1264963#post1264963 ff Sep 12 20:26:57 hrmpf, why did i have hildon-desktop-application-shortcuts-mr0 installed Sep 12 20:27:31 prolly because it comes with maemo? Sep 12 20:27:47 it's just ovi.desktop Sep 12 20:28:21 * DocScrutinizer05 bets on this containing the skype installer desktop icon, the guided tour, and other similar useless cruft Sep 12 20:28:29 DocScrutinizer05: nope, just ovi Sep 12 20:28:38 the skype installer is in skype-installer Sep 12 20:28:48 hehe Sep 12 20:28:50 ok Sep 12 20:29:10 hm, no it's not Sep 12 20:29:26 is there even a skype installer? Sep 12 20:29:30 nfc Sep 12 20:29:45 if there ever been, it got nuked on my device 3 years ago Sep 12 20:30:36 oh come on, why does the cssu metapackage depend on skype-ui-l10n-*? Sep 12 20:31:38 * kerio hrmpfs Sep 12 20:31:49 * DocScrutinizer05 idly ponders to get some Here_I_Am_feedback to next cssu-t and cssu-s. Sth that pings somewhere to increase a "global number of installs" counter and then removes itself from system Sep 12 20:32:35 kerio: :-S Sep 12 20:33:03 DocScrutinizer05: hehe, a cherry replacement for cssu Sep 12 20:33:04 MP is EVIL Sep 12 20:33:21 nah, better make our own Sep 12 20:33:30 kerio: not really, since it neither sends some SMS, nor any privacy data Sep 12 20:33:31 we need a fruit Sep 12 20:34:06 prune Sep 12 20:34:12 brilliant Sep 12 20:35:05 it should put itself in MyDocs, that's usually the most resilient place on the n900 Sep 12 20:35:31 i mean, the file that says that it sent the data successfully Sep 12 20:36:43 DocScrutinizer05: guided tour is tutorial-home-applet Sep 12 20:37:14 nah, we're not that evil, we shall open a requester on post-install that asks "send anonymous 'thank you' to CSSU crew to let them know somebody used their stuff?" [yes] [no] [later] Sep 12 20:37:14 yay, new cssu abouard Sep 12 20:37:49 tadzik: congrats Sep 12 20:38:17 DocScrutinizer05: and a tiny tiny notice "* thank you in this case means an sms to a 1,4€ number that goes right into docs poket" ? ;) Sep 12 20:38:57 hehehe Sep 12 20:39:01 no not really Sep 12 20:39:22 i'd donate the shit out of my spare change to the community Sep 12 20:39:23 if i could Sep 12 20:39:25 I more thought of an actual ping or wget to a certain URL Sep 12 20:39:39 DocScrutinizer05: nah, something slightly more reliable Sep 12 20:40:08 we don't need any reliability to get any idea of how many users CSSU actually has Sep 12 20:40:26 we do Sep 12 20:40:46 well, you could look at the repo server logs, no? Sep 12 20:41:00 tadzik: then we'd get wildly inaccurate figures Sep 12 20:41:06 what we need though is some PR and maybe a notifier package in maemo-extras Sep 12 20:41:30 that simply opens the cssu website in browser, on installation Sep 12 20:41:35 kerio: how inaccurate? I don't think people update to the same cssu twice _that_ often Sep 12 20:41:51 what even *is* updating to a cssu release? Sep 12 20:42:11 tadzik: we *could*, if we could Sep 12 20:42:14 that says that some user is using CSSU and updating it from time to time, no? Sep 12 20:42:33 downloading the metapackage? i had to do that like four times while toying between cssu-t and cssu-θ Sep 12 20:43:11 merlin1991: ^^^ asked X-Fade about it? Sep 12 20:43:13 wtf is -θ Sep 12 20:43:17 thumb Sep 12 20:43:19 Thau Sep 12 20:43:23 theta Sep 12 20:43:27 err Sep 12 20:43:34 some greek crap Sep 12 20:43:44 in the international phonetic alphabet, a voiceless dental fricative Sep 12 20:44:05 aka the "th" in thing, or thumb Sep 12 20:44:13 shame, that Unicode has "front facing baby chick" but no thumb Sep 12 20:44:49 tadzik: japs are weird Sep 12 20:44:55 (i assume that's an emoji) Sep 12 20:45:36 Miscellaneous Symbols And Pictographs Sep 12 20:45:39 http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/1f425/index.htm Sep 12 20:45:40 U+BD4F, SCHOOLGIRL AND TENTACLES Sep 12 20:45:47 ahaha Sep 12 20:45:59 theres also a pile of poop unicode Sep 12 20:46:00 I wouldn't be surprised at all Sep 12 20:47:21 http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/1f4a9/index.htm Sep 12 20:48:10 http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/font/symbola/u1F4A9.png Sep 12 20:49:36 LOL Sep 12 20:51:35 everything and the kitchen sink.. Sep 12 20:51:50 yeah, unicode is supposed to encode **everything** Sep 12 20:51:59 like, everything that was ever written Sep 12 20:52:45 only that someone has bothered to push for inclusion in. Sep 12 20:52:49 its.. a waste of space and human resources, they should have stopped long before adding emoji garbage. Sep 12 20:53:02 * DocScrutinizer05 already suggested graphics card that doesn't use pixels and a framebuffer, but actually all unicode Sep 12 20:53:30 like mda.. but with gigabytes of font space? Sep 12 20:53:40 variable font size is tricky Sep 12 20:53:49 as is rotated Sep 12 20:53:53 DocScrutinizer05: as an upgrade to the ATI Radeon 9500 ASC? Sep 12 20:53:54 http://www.bbspot.com/news/2003/02/ati_ascii.html Sep 12 20:58:13 actually in the early 80s I 'invented' such a display, based on a scope tube and a lot of analog circuitry, to display arbitrary numbers of elisoids, polygons, bsplines, characters etc, based on parameters stored in a digital sequencer Sep 12 20:59:16 pff, come on, nobody believes the early 80s actually existed Sep 12 21:00:02 (characters were actually planned to be just a predefined special from of the general usage macros definable by user) Sep 12 21:00:29 ooh, so you'd actually just draw vectorized letters? Sep 12 21:00:31 neat Sep 12 21:00:43 sure Sep 12 21:00:44 how fast was it at drawing? Sep 12 21:01:02 never seen anything but the paper it got designed on Sep 12 21:01:27 a feasibility study for fun Sep 12 21:01:47 so... was it feasible? Sep 12 21:02:20 in theory yes, but if it was economically sensible is another question Sep 12 21:02:25 anyway, vector videogames were really popular in the 80s Sep 12 21:02:46 :nod: Sep 12 21:02:58 original asteroids been vector graphics Sep 12 21:03:48 real vector graphics, down to the tube Sep 12 21:04:11 no vector graphics lib painting into a matrix framebuffer Sep 12 21:05:22 and now beautifully antialiased by MAME :) Sep 12 21:13:22 oh yeah :-P >>ATI also announced a card under development which would support Unicode gaming. "It's a real chicken or the egg scenario. Do we make a card that supports Unicode gaming before there are games, or will the games appear after we make the card. We hope this announcement gets the game giants in gear."<< Sep 12 21:30:01 :D Sep 13 01:25:23 [GENERAL NOTICE] if you're using CSSU-T, do NOT use "update all" in HAM, you need to first install/update the opername widget, only *then* go update the rest.

Sep 13 02:06:46 yes Sep 13 02:07:02 ooh, *run* contacts Sep 13 02:07:04 DocScrutinizer05, could you point me the way please? Sep 13 02:07:35 I want to invoke the application of contacts, and locate to a contact Sep 13 02:07:49 well, if I understood what you said, I suggest you look at desktop shortcuts Sep 13 02:09:04 DocScrutinizer05, I want to do it in cli, desktop shortcuts needs to be created before use Sep 13 02:09:55 I siad "look at" Sep 13 02:10:28 if they are some sort of .desktop file, they probably have some commandline in them Sep 13 02:10:51 DocScrutinizer05, oh! DocScrutinizer05 thank you, will look at it Sep 13 02:11:00 sorry I got no better hints Sep 13 02:11:23 DocScrutinizer05, it's a smart way to start :) Sep 13 02:12:40 oh, I'm not clear which dir they are in? Sep 13 02:14:37 They aren't at /usr/share/applications/hildon-home/ :( Sep 13 02:14:52 use find Sep 13 02:15:25 Skry, I don't know the file's name :( Sep 13 02:15:37 say a contact of "Foo Bar" Sep 13 02:15:48 what the file name of it? Sep 13 02:17:20 dont know about that but if you want to find your .desktop files: find / -name "*.desktop" Sep 13 02:24:54 another idea: dbus-monitor while you click on such a contact-shortcut. I'd be surprised if dbus wasn't involved in invoking contacts app on a particular contact Sep 13 02:25:29 you want to monitor session bus for that, not system bus Sep 13 02:27:30 DocScrutinizer05: dont know if you're interested but found out the cause and fix for the cpufreq/sr issue we talked about Sep 13 02:27:30 of course there's also documentation about all that, I recall a djungle of objects, called roaster and whatnot else Sep 13 02:27:41 sure Sep 13 02:27:44 oh, too complicated to me :( Sep 13 02:28:21 will use find Sep 13 02:29:47 DocScrutinizer05: yeah, problem is oscillator frequency used in N900 combined with the fact that frequency rounding was removed from cpufreq at some point so N900 freqs dont match the ones in OPP table Sep 13 02:30:41 so cpufreq sets frequency, fails but sets voltages nevertheless, and we have a lockup Sep 13 02:31:59 weird Sep 13 02:32:13 ok... Sep 13 02:32:38 I don't think I have found a .desktop file relative to the shortcuts on desktop :( Sep 13 02:32:50 by find / -name "*.desktop" Sep 13 02:33:31 maybe the shortcut on desktop is a special case Sep 13 02:33:51 I think they are widgets handled by hildon-desktop itself Sep 13 02:34:42 maybe... Sep 13 02:36:45 you could check which files in your home dir were modified exactly the time you created the desktop contact shortcut Sep 13 02:38:06 and you could use ~# dbus-monitor --session Sep 13 02:38:35 or search wiki (phonecontrol) and see if something already is mentioned there Sep 13 02:58:49 DocScrutinizer05, thank you for advice, will do it when have time **** ENDING LOGGING AT Thu Sep 13 03:00:00 2012
