**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun May 18 02:59:59 2014 May 18 04:47:14 Hey guys, did someone tried use LTO on N900? May 18 04:48:06 as my quick test on x86_64 showed, it nicely reduce binary size even with older gcc 4.8.2 and with 4.9.0 it should be much better! :) May 18 04:48:18 it could help reduce N900 memory pressure May 18 07:26:46 link to flasher3.5.tar.gz please. May 18 07:47:20 ~flasher May 18 07:47:21 flasher is probably at http://www.jedge.com/n810/flasher/maemo_flasher-3.5_2.5.2.2.tar.gz (also .exe!), or http://www.chakra-project.org/ccr/packages.php?ID=5027 or generally http://www.google.com/search?q=maemo_flasher-3.5_2.5.2.2.tar.gz. HARMattan(N9): https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/fl/flasher-harmattan/flasher-harmattan.tar.gz, or -- list of filenames/md5sums: http://pastebin.com/sYKdNJSH, or http://galif.eu/nokia/ May 18 07:47:55 why dontcha google May 18 07:49:05 and you came here like into a bar: "whiskey & cola please" May 18 07:49:15 haha..

May 18 07:50:12 :P May 18 08:28:49 Ashley`: you still served, that's the maemo community bar for you ;) May 18 13:18:02 hi May 18 13:18:20 is repo having a problem, or it's my connection? May 18 13:19:12 Could not connect to repository.maemo.org:80 (213.128.137.22). - connect (111 Connection refused) May 18 13:22:34 but May 18 13:24:01 the ones from nokia.com work May 18 13:24:04 looks like it works here May 18 13:24:58 ok. thanks for confirming. :) May 18 14:45:47 okias: i think cssu-thumb uses gcc 4.7 May 18 14:45:59 freemangordon: pls giff gcc 4.9 May 18 15:29:14 kerio: I finally get to installing debian/scratchbox, so I wonder, where should I put new software (it may require update lot system packages) May 18 15:29:48 I want put in n900 my preferred desktop (cmdline) sw :) May 18 15:32:09 kerio: do you know how to build it and make a deb for scratchbox? May 18 15:32:50 mmh May 18 15:32:52 make? May 18 15:32:53 :3 May 18 15:33:16 i don't even know if it'll work with our ancient libraries May 18 15:33:21 ...wait May 18 15:33:42 why do we need to build gcc 4.9? May 18 15:35:52 kerio: for n900? better LTO, which could _reduce_ binary size :) May 18 15:36:02 no, we need to *use* gcc 4.9 May 18 15:36:18 oh, yes :) May 18 15:36:24 I'd say 100% May 18 15:37:07 if no-one step up, I'll try get gcc 4.9 working somehow, but not much knowledge about scratchbox, so it make takes while May 18 15:38:14 okias: dunno about 4.9, but in 4.7 lto sucks May 18 15:39:01 freemangordon: well, 4.7 was weak, for 4.8.2 on my desktop machine I got for reduce approximatelly 5-20% May 18 15:39:11 x86? May 18 15:39:20 for n900 with less memory it could be very nice suprise :) May 18 15:39:24 x86_64 May 18 15:39:31 what about ARM? May 18 15:39:42 in fact, I didn't found anything about ARM, but... let's test and we'll see :) May 18 15:39:55 BTW I still should have *some* instructions how to build 4.7.2 May 18 15:40:08 lemme try to find them May 18 15:40:21 I going afk for 45-120 minutes :) May 18 16:32:27 im using opera 12 as my browser, however, it doesnt recognize flash May 18 16:32:39 do i need to install flash manually for it to work with it May 18 16:34:15 opera doesnt have flash support i think May 18 16:36:47 aye ok May 18 16:36:59 back again :) May 18 16:38:16 :) May 18 16:38:22 are droid fonts worth installing? May 18 16:38:50 wizbit: I guess, just check them on computer :) May 18 16:39:04 also there is new font from KDE Frameworks, named Oxygen :) May 18 16:39:12 ace May 18 16:39:13 (also looking very good) May 18 16:39:21 do they change the whole desktop appearance? May 18 16:40:11 probably not until you change it manually by some tool ( just guessing, not sure if I recall correctly) May 18 16:43:12 http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=1423469 hoho, gcc 4.9! :) May 18 17:06:33 http://talk.maemo.org/register.php?do=register You have left a required field blank. ... :'( May 18 17:08:01 lol when i clicked that, "You have chosen not to accept the forum rules, so registration cannot continue." appeared May 18 17:08:25 http://talk.maemo.org/register.php?do=signup May 18 17:08:31 you need check that checkbox May 18 17:08:36 but still, it won't pass me May 18 17:08:46 tried chrome and firefox May 18 17:12:38 check your cookie settngs, delete old stale cookies May 18 17:16:20 : This script should NOT be run as user root. May 18 17:16:35 I installed sudo because of this, but still, exactly by http://wiki.maemo.org/Building_a_Virtual_Machine_for_Maemo_development May 18 17:16:57 huh? May 18 17:17:02 without sudo it's fine May 18 17:17:37 is howto wrong, or I'm ? May 18 17:18:06 DocScrutinizer05: about cookies.. ok, i'll try May 18 17:19:24 sth terribly messed up with some maemo/nokia account/registration webpages, they place cookies like "session-timed-out" that never get removed or updated May 18 17:19:30 and.. nope, cookies didn't helped May 18 17:20:55 cookies always help, at least for me ;-) particularly peanut-cookies May 18 17:21:09 did you check for any stale cookies and deleted them? May 18 17:22:32 (I#m not sure your problem actually caused by cookie handling or stale cookies. I just recall to have seen such problems) May 18 17:23:06 DocScrutinizer05: I deleted everything from FF May 18 17:23:15 it just wont let me, try for yourself May 18 17:23:16 i hope you backed that stuff up May 18 17:24:19 P.S. I really hope that maemo script will run without sudo May 18 17:24:33 it already downloaded and did lot of work May 18 17:25:28 http://talk.maemo.org/member.php?u=70417 Join Date: 2014-05-18 May 18 17:28:18 still it sees some blank field :( May 18 17:31:15 pester tmo maintainer about it! May 18 17:32:25 he happens to hang out here known as chem|st May 18 17:35:42 if feasible, change your public IP - you might have run into a spamblocker/botfilter May 18 17:38:08 it's pretty unfortunate that tmo has a record of annoying new users like that May 18 17:40:05 I dunno what's the problem with fixing that, or at least share a friendly note on the registering page mentioning the possible problem, the cause, and what user could do to recover from it May 18 17:42:33 DocScrutinizer05: my ip wont change, I have static May 18 17:42:59 xes: ^^^ could you help? May 18 17:43:29 chem|st: ^^^ May 18 17:43:34 warfare: ^^^ May 18 17:51:17 cssu into scratchbox, do anyone has that line to apt.d ? May 18 17:51:40 * sources.list.d May 18 17:53:35 I don't think there's such thing May 18 17:54:27 cssu doesn't offer any new dependencies. IOW no project should depend on CSSU May 18 17:54:42 generally speaking May 18 17:54:51 done, ok May 18 17:56:18 I want compare some latest cssu packages against new builded with lto May 18 17:56:53 btw. now slowly thinking about injecting gcc-4.9 runtime into n900 + installing it into scratchbox May 18 18:06:58 where is cssu? http://maemo.org/packages/view/libpixman-1-0/ I can't find it May 18 18:23:33 hmm? May 18 18:24:22 cssu isn't in package manager, since it's not a regular repo neither distro May 18 18:25:32 cssu is kind of special, working as a supplement to base repositories May 18 18:26:44 and there's neither a source repo nor autobuilder nor access via package interface to it May 18 18:28:25 packages for binary cssu repo get built locally by the maintainers and then uploaded to repository.maemo.org May 18 18:29:03 much like Nokia did with their packages in the base repos May 18 18:31:48 see e.g. http://maemo.org/packages/view/cssufeatures/ for "normals" non-system packages that are CSSU and still get built and deployed via maemo-extras repo. NB without any dependencies to CSSU, the autobuilder doesn't even know what's CSSU May 18 18:34:07 how to set default gcc in scratchbox to 4.6 at least for start? May 18 18:35:50 ask freemangordon May 18 18:41:07 note there's no CSSU in http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel/pool/ May 18 18:41:59 neither in http://repository.maemo.org/ May 18 18:43:52 neither in http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel/dists/fremantle-1.3/ May 18 18:44:05 err http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel/dists/ May 18 18:47:05 okias: could you retry with the register page? May 18 18:47:16 hi xes :-) May 18 18:47:22 hi DocScrutinizer05! May 18 18:47:44 still You have left a required field blank. :'( May 18 18:48:41 okias: xes is one of our maemo.org sysops, I guess he's just about to look at a wireshark screen May 18 18:48:56 :D May 18 18:49:01 give him some time May 18 18:50:28 okias: please stay tuned to help tracking down the issue, if you can spare the time May 18 18:50:44 yy May 18 18:50:52 btw. just installing python 2.5 May 18 18:51:02 because python 2.3 seems little bit unsupported these days May 18 18:52:18 :c May 18 18:52:28 .oO(???) May 18 18:52:56 btw, daily reminder that python 2.7 was released in july 2010 May 18 18:53:12 :D May 18 18:53:19 meh, I think 2.5 is standard on maemo fremantle, no? May 18 18:53:21 python 2.5 is from september 2006 May 18 18:53:42 btw. that's weird May 18 18:53:49 on my n900 I have 2.5.4 May 18 18:53:57 but in scratchbox is default 2.3 May 18 18:54:04 /opt/pymaemo/usr/lib/python2.5 on /usr/lib/python2.5 type bind (bind) May 18 18:54:38 and I can't see any upgrade to 2.5 (only python2.5) May 18 18:54:41 scratchbox is terribly outdated, you need to do a proper update to PR1.3 I guess May 18 18:55:00 does someone actually want to deal with scratchbox? May 18 18:55:03 sorry, no SB expert here May 18 18:55:18 kerio: what else? May 18 18:55:24 kerio: do you have any better ideas? May 18 18:55:31 I didn't found much interesting docs about it May 18 18:55:49 i dunno, a standard maemo install with the dev tools May 18 18:55:57 huh? May 18 18:56:56 install maemo in a VM with more space than a n900 May 18 18:57:02 and install gcc and the -dev packages May 18 18:57:27 kerio: is somewhere any reasonable manual for that? May 18 18:57:34 sure, feasible. If you wanna compile stuff on a 600MHz ARM with 256MB of real RAM May 18 18:57:50 i'm going to assume that the VM will also have a faster cpu with more ram May 18 18:57:58 aha May 18 18:58:18 so that VM is not called scratchbox by any chance? May 18 18:58:31 nope! May 18 18:58:46 for instance, it's not x86 May 18 18:58:46 pardon me guys, is there any howto? ;) May 18 18:59:05 kerio: nfc what you're talking about May 18 18:59:19 okias: howto for what? May 18 18:59:24 in fact, there should be almost no-effort put in managing running DEV environment, to _encourage_ people do work :) May 18 18:59:37 okias: well, scratchbox does work with almost no effort May 18 18:59:44 there's the virtualbox image for that May 18 18:59:47 that's the idea May 18 18:59:49 okias: DocScrutinizer05: the problem seems intermitten and related to the anti captcha module slow or not loading correctly. Check if you can open the address "http://api.recaptcha.net/challenge?k=6LfiVucSAAAAAP1Abdlazjqh3xJs-Oi-s7rZG_0V" May 18 18:59:50 well, "install maemo in a VM" is not much exactly way May 18 18:59:53 i'm not entirely sure how updated it is, tho May 18 19:00:11 kerio: well, then we should _mark_ wiki pages as obsolete May 18 19:00:31 ^ now redirected to a google api page May 18 19:00:34 (wiki pages pointing to install scratchbox env) May 18 19:00:53 okias: could you please stop that chatter with kerio and help xes? May 18 19:00:54 xes: good :) thank you May 18 19:01:03 okias: did you manage to register now? what is the problem? May 18 19:01:17 chem|st: now I can see username, etc. dialog May 18 19:01:24 so it look better than before, give me few sec May 18 19:01:53 browser cache is screwing the fields up... May 18 19:02:10 hi chem|st! Could you check the link for the anti captcha module? Maybe it should be updated May 18 19:02:30 chem|st: well, I tried two browsers, it hasn't been caused by cache ;) May 18 19:03:09 i forgot about dropbox, i wonder if there is a client May 18 19:05:20 okias: if you browsed the site on the browser before it will have the same problem May 18 19:05:36 nvm, did you register now? May 18 19:05:44 yet? May 18 19:05:51 chem|st: xes: yes, perfectly, thank you guys! :) May 18 19:06:02 xes: captcha is fine May 18 19:06:51 okias: good May 18 19:06:54 kerio: can you give me some link, where should I start? May 18 19:07:21 chem|st: i loaded the page for 3 times with the captcha block completely missing May 18 19:07:25 for the vm? May 18 19:07:36 http://maemovmware.garage.maemo.org/2nd_edition/ May 18 19:07:37 okias: kerio is notorious for his very own approach to many common problems May 18 19:07:54 kerio: pleeease May 18 19:08:05 dude that's the real one May 18 19:08:13 kerio: dude that's dead May 18 19:08:13 http://tablets-dev.nokia.com/maemo-dev-env-downloads.php May 18 19:08:17 for start May 18 19:08:25 also dead May 18 19:08:31 ~sb May 18 19:08:32 i guess scratchbox is a cross-compiling system that uses binfmt_misc, rpc calls, and an nfs mount to make a cross-build appear to be 100% native, and is found at http://www.scratchbox.org/, hosted by maemo now. Also at http://maemo.merlin1991.at/files/SB May 18 19:08:44 well, it's not much funny, it's really discouraging for new devs (I think) May 18 19:09:07 okias: sorry for Nokia lilling all official links May 18 19:09:12 killing May 18 19:09:24 just so much community can do about it May 18 19:09:33 can you drop links then? May 18 19:09:38 ^^^ May 18 19:10:00 get the VM disk image May 18 19:10:17 it look pretty new May 18 19:10:21 what changed? May 18 19:10:37 downloaded from somewhere else? May 18 19:10:53 so, only because location changed? May 18 19:11:01 yes May 18 19:11:09 good to know May 18 19:12:58 before I'll go for it (it kills my 2Mbit line), http://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/Maemo_5_Final_SDK_Installation May 18 19:13:17 I guess, it's not recommended these days, right? May 18 19:13:21 prolly still the autoritative howto on it May 18 19:13:49 though I doubt all the URLs inside the script still work May 18 19:14:19 DocScrutinizer05: well, I'd like to put on beginning it's not recommended anymore, and link to your recommended variant May 18 19:14:34 just to prevent people end like me ;) May 18 19:14:42 with python2.3 :D May 18 19:15:17 you're welcome to review that wiki page and the scripts tehrein, and update it to work with what we got left over to juggle with nowadays May 18 19:15:48 generally you're supposed to run an update inside scratchbox May 18 19:16:12 but, as mentioned above, I'm no SB expert May 18 19:16:29 apt-get upgrade? nfc May 18 19:16:35 DocScrutinizer05: do you know any guys who could tell? May 18 19:16:44 freemangordon: May 18 19:16:49 merlin1991: May 18 19:16:57 DocScrutinizer05: well, no... apt-get upgrade on actual think wont give me upgrade for python 2.3 -> 2.5 May 18 19:17:12 :nod: May 18 19:17:28 you prolly need to do the equivalent to SSU May 18 19:17:31 I'd like to try document _simplest_ way how to get to most actual development system as is possible May 18 19:17:45 to update to maemo PR1.3 level May 18 19:17:48 which of course that virtualbox image seems to be May 18 19:18:31 virtualbox is just an easy way to get a plain SB install. It's no way more up to date that what you have right now May 18 19:19:07 you need to do an update inside scratchbox May 18 19:19:31 I have idea.. could be missing deb http://repository.maemo.org/ fremantle/4bc37c7c77ebe90177c050b805a8dc79 nokia-binaries ? May 18 19:19:38 but that's where my knowledge ends May 18 19:19:46 yes May 18 19:19:47 but I guess python _shouldn't_ have any deps on proprietary binaries :D May 18 19:20:13 it pretty sure has May 18 19:20:34 nokia-binaries is what's getting updated May 18 19:20:51 it's the PR1.x May 18 19:20:56 basically May 18 19:21:05 but it's non-sense May 18 19:21:11 meh May 18 19:21:12 at least for python May 18 19:21:25 then there shouldn't be any python May 18 19:21:31 you have no idea what nonsense maemo package management and dependencies is May 18 19:22:00 whole maemo is one huge metapackage, and that's it May 18 19:22:16 well, I have very simple plan... get this **** think working, rebuild sw with 4.9 and make new repository May 18 19:22:31 of course only for opensource sw May 18 19:22:47 IroN900:~# apt-cache search mp-fremantle May 18 19:22:48 mp-fremantle-generic-pr - May 18 19:22:50 mp-fremantle-community-pr - Community SSU package, includes latest fixes from Gitorious and the community May 18 19:23:53 IroN900:~# apt-cache policy mp-fremantle-generic-pr May 18 19:23:54 mp-fremantle-generic-pr: May 18 19:23:56 Installed: (none) May 18 19:23:57 Candidate: 21.2011.38-1 May 18 19:24:13 (not installed on my system since I wanted to get procps May 18 19:24:14 ) May 18 19:24:33 but once it been installed, or otherwise no maemo in that device May 18 19:25:06 update that in SB and I guess here you are May 18 19:25:51 NB mp-fremantle-community-pr is only *supplementary* to mp-fremantle-generic-pr May 18 19:26:04 ...no it's not? May 18 19:26:05 you'll need the latter one instaled to use the former one May 18 19:26:15 cssu-enabler removes -generic- May 18 19:26:28 yes, but not the packages it consists of May 18 19:27:12 and community-pr afaik doesn't depend on them so they would get updated to latest base repo version May 18 19:28:01 generic-pr installs the maemo system. community-pr just replaces the patched bits May 18 19:28:20 I *could* be wrong on that May 18 19:28:58 for scratchbox it's pretty irrelevant anyway, since usually you're not supposed to develop using CSSU, aiui May 18 19:29:18 IOW don't install community-pr to scratchbox, right? May 18 19:29:52 you don't even want that, since your package is supposed to work on stock maemo as well May 18 19:30:16 CSSU is supposed to be compatible environment for apps built against stock May 18 19:30:38 but stock is not defined as compatible for apps built against CSSU May 18 19:31:04 see my previous remark May 18 19:31:09 for start, good idea would be release something like PR1.4 May 18 19:31:20 http://maemo.org/packages/view/cssufeatures/ May 18 19:31:31 ~pr1.4 May 18 19:31:32 PR1.4 has always been a ban'able subject May 18 19:32:02 it also show world it's still alive May 18 19:32:32 okias: we CANNOT release PR1.4, since we don't possess the Nokia signing key May 18 19:32:47 that's why we got CSSU May 18 19:33:07 interesting and could it be signed by your own key? what happend then? May 18 19:33:43 then the package will not get installed since our repos don't have sufficient trustlevel in HAM May 18 19:34:03 and exist any simple way, how to increase trustlevel? May 18 19:34:08 no May 18 19:34:24 the simplest way is what CSSU does May 18 19:34:36 hmm May 18 19:34:39 there is one option May 18 19:34:55 just release whole firmware, to flash? May 18 19:35:01 yes, manual editing, or make every user manually install package ACME-update May 18 19:35:32 or make every user reflash with new firmware package we created, yes May 18 19:35:47 we however wnat to stay compatible for users May 18 19:35:48 well, in fact, this could have good spread May 18 19:36:31 you know, first user flash PR1.4 (including new keys, fixed repos) and flash after flash there could be lot of "up-dateable" devices May 18 19:36:55 sorry, this been evaluated and plumbed together by a bunch of skilled community members and Nokians during almost a year. I don't think we can inprove it now on a sunday evening irc chat May 18 19:37:15 well, in fact, I read about Neo900 May 18 19:37:53 and I'm afk now, need to star some other tasks, then take care about Neo900 related stuff May 18 19:39:00 and yes, for Neo900 we actually want a "new distro" with own repo and all - though it should stay binbary compatible so users can still use packages from maemo-extras(-*) May 18 19:39:14 I just want say.. there is lot of "manpower" in n900, but it's totally fragmented May 18 19:39:45 afk o/ May 18 19:54:10 neo-fremantle won't use nokia binaries repos May 18 19:56:30 well, it would be suicide May 18 19:56:44 you need the exact ancient versions of libraries May 18 19:56:53 or compatibility layers May 18 20:03:19 kerio: you're aware that libraries are supposed to stay compatible? May 18 20:03:59 backwards compatibility is broken all the time for different reasons May 18 20:05:03 http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Program-Library-HOWTO/shared-libraries.html#3.6. May 18 20:05:19 only by idiots May 18 20:05:41 >>When a new version of a library is binary-incompatible with the old one the soname needs to change<< May 18 20:06:48 so why can't we blindly drop in the latest libc in fremantle? May 18 20:08:05 because only a jackass touches libc at all, without extensive tests and a good reason May 18 20:09:40 libc is probably more core than kernel May 18 20:10:29 anyway, read that fine tutorial. Instead of stopping me from taking my shower and getting breakfast! :-D May 18 20:10:55 kerio: latest libc.. depend what libc :D May 18 20:11:24 kerio: for example musl-libc http://www.etalabs.net/compare_libcs.html could be very good idea to work with, but 100% needs rebuild of everything, including closedsource blobs :D May 18 20:33:09 Hi May 18 20:33:22 is anyone of you using Whatsup on MeeGo? May 18 21:37:56 Guys, is this site safe? http://bingotrade.agilityhoster.com/product.php?id_product=58 D: May 18 21:48:16 Kabouik: I don't know May 18 21:48:41 Because you know, 30€ each, and 5000 units available... Does not sound legit May 18 21:49:00 But at this price, I would buy 3 just to have spare units :o May 18 21:49:24 exactly May 18 21:49:39 And you would have plenty for the Neo900 project too :P May 18 21:50:31 but!!! http://bingotrade.agilityhoster.com/cms.php?id_cms=4 looks pretty SCAM May 18 21:50:59 Haha yes, indeed May 18 21:51:16 http://bingotrade.agilityhoster.com/ May 18 21:51:21 lorem ipsum May 18 21:51:58 It's still frustrating not to order one just to be sure, but I think I won't try :P May 18 21:52:03 >>Excepteur sint prestashop cupidatat non proident<< wtf? May 18 21:52:26 No idea, that's not French, for sure :P May 18 21:53:16 By the way DocScrutinizer05, do you know where to purchase non-qwerty keyboards for the N900? I just purchased a qwertz spare N900 May 18 21:53:38 Maybe you have already investigated stores with N900 parts for your Neo900 project May 18 21:53:51 it's starting to get difficult to get new keymats May 18 21:54:13 Yeah and used ones are often for whole used N900, so it's more expensive May 18 21:56:27 haha, google translate thinks it's Galizisch - yet doesn't translate it May 18 21:56:51 Galician May 18 21:57:05 https://translate.google.com/?hl=en#auto/en/Excepteur sint prestashop cupidatat non proident May 18 21:59:02 http://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/for-Nokia-N900-Keypad-black-Colour_346983266.html Don't know if these are real keymats, I guess they are "copies", but they might be worth a try May 18 21:59:43 xes: first try, captcha there, second try other browser - captcha there, settings lookup - everythign ok... May 18 22:00:04 even with adblock-plus May 18 22:01:13 that reads like wfm May 18 22:02:37 and I get to the register page without any hassle... logout - register - do-not-scroll-terms, checkbox, next - here we go! May 18 22:03:03 chem|st: probably it's not a fault into tmo, but a temporary issue with that captcha api. Since the original api link receives a redirect to a google page, _maybe_ that setting the new url could help **** ENDING LOGGING AT Mon May 19 02:59:58 2014
