**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Jun 30 03:00:00 2014 Jun 30 09:09:05 moin :) Jun 30 09:53:09 Lo, I'm guessing new apps are not allowed on the nokia/ovi store for the maemo platform - so before they disappear entirely - is there anyway of downloading all the .deb packages in that repo? Jun 30 09:53:37 i know there was a modified apt-get floating around that could download from it without using the Ovi Store app Jun 30 10:25:09 another broken n900, *sigh* Jun 30 10:26:18 federico3 how did you break it? Jun 30 10:26:29 I think it's the microusb connector (again) Jun 30 10:27:16 I'm afraid I'll have to move away from maemo at this time :( Jun 30 10:27:58 how can i change font on maemo? Jun 30 10:28:02 :3 Jun 30 11:45:24 federico3: just buy another one, duh Jun 30 12:06:00 http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=91142 Jun 30 12:41:55 kerio: given that maemo does not seem to be... thriving and there aren't new phones to run it on... Jun 30 12:42:59 What do you mean maemo isn't thriving? =) Jun 30 12:43:07 DocScrutinizer05, do you know of any complete mirrors of the Ovi Store for maemo apps? Jun 30 12:43:24 I've stumbled on maybe a couple using google - not sure if they're complete though Jun 30 12:50:18 stevenm: sorry, no idea. Jun 30 12:50:29 http://mirrors.muarf.org/maemo/apt-mirror/mirror/downloads.maemo.nokia.com/ Jun 30 12:50:37 this seems complete - but i don't think it has any paid apps Jun 30 12:51:26 it doesnt, I didnt bother mirroring ovi stuff Jun 30 12:52:10 (it's huge and, well, non-free/proprietary stuff, which I'm not interested in) Jun 30 12:53:49 ack Jun 30 12:55:16 a pity that so many packages never got transferred into the (at lest non-free) maemo-extras repos, thus officially making them available instead of simply abandoning them Jun 30 12:55:30 at least* Jun 30 12:55:57 i'd just like a backup of the free ones I used to install from ovi and the angry birds levels i paid for :S Jun 30 12:56:21 stevenm: free as in "free food" ? Jun 30 12:56:28 as in beer Jun 30 12:56:43 since Jan 2014 no maemo/meego/symbian app can be updated or added anyway - so its not like what I'm backing up from will change Jun 30 12:56:57 added/updated to the nokia/ovi store i mean Jun 30 12:57:24 oh well, then you only need to run apt-mirror on ovi repository Jun 30 12:57:46 and just download through it? Jun 30 12:57:56 yeah that's one way Jun 30 12:58:06 yup Jun 30 12:58:21 Does any of you have Jolla or or Sailfish on Nokia? Jun 30 12:58:31 I don't think ovi repo still working Jun 30 12:58:52 DocScrutinizer05, maemo apps are still listed on the store.nokia.com site Jun 30 12:59:03 stevenm: wow Jun 30 12:59:13 the repo *looks* to still be there - although i get auth denied accessing via http Jun 30 12:59:21 DocScrutinizer05: hmm I think it does since it started downloading from there before I removed it from my apt-mirror conf Jun 30 12:59:28 stevenm: basic http auth Jun 30 12:59:46 it's freaky because the freeware "YouTube Uploader" app that nokia made for the n900/maemo - the vendor in the store now lists it as Microsoft Mobile Jun 30 13:00:14 so "Microsoft Mobile" made a "YouTube Updater" for a Google service for a GNU/Linux handheld years before they even bought Nokia lol Jun 30 13:00:42 set your phone to N900 and browse to... http://store.ovi.com/publisher/Microsoft%20Mobile/ Jun 30 13:01:37 :/ Jun 30 13:03:40 good question zGrr - I wonder how's Sailfish doing Jun 30 13:05:50 I have no idea. It might be worth to upgrade aging N9 to Sailfish. Jun 30 13:06:04 There is no N9 CSSU is there? Jun 30 13:56:52 zGrr: nope, wanna start it? Jun 30 14:08:19 chem|st: not at the moment :( Jun 30 17:55:20 So easy-deb-chroot, I noticed it has an X server. I'm assuming I could ssh and run X via SSH eh? Jun 30 18:03:00 hmm, you can also do that with maemo itself Jun 30 18:03:09 unless i don't understand u well Jun 30 18:14:11 Snafu777: actually the 'real' xserver used by easy-deb is the maemo one ;) Jun 30 18:36:29 DocScrutinizer05: I was away for a couple of days, what about ECI and KP? Jun 30 18:51:38 Sicelo: What I am looking to do is SSH into my n900, and then using X11 forwarding via SSH I want the LXDE desktop to appear on my laptop screen Jun 30 18:51:49 Doable?, I'm playing with it right now, trying anyways Jun 30 18:53:32 Snafu777: start second X server on your laptop, export DISPLAY=x.x.x.x:1, start lxde session Jun 30 18:53:54 that worked for me last time I tried it Jun 30 18:54:48 freemangordon: Cool, i will try that here momentarily =) Jun 30 18:55:31 Snafu777: the part "export DISPLAY=x.x.x.x:1, start lxde session" should be done on n900, in chroot terminal :) Jun 30 18:57:42 freemangordon: I analyzed what N900 HW has for ECI support, wrote a oneliner spec how to (PHY layer) talk ECI, and spotted the Nitdroid source that seems to already provide a kernel module for ECI Jun 30 18:58:44 DocScrutinizer05: afaik stock omap1 kernel as well KP already have support, maybe I can't get your idea Jun 30 19:00:52 support for ECI? Jun 30 19:01:08 no ECI in N900 Jun 30 19:01:17 maemo Jun 30 19:01:31 oh, mayvbe there is no support in the userland Jun 30 19:01:44 but I think there is support in the kernel Jun 30 19:01:44 no, there's no /dev node Jun 30 19:01:54 it is in /sys/ afaik Jun 30 19:01:59 or sys Jun 30 19:02:32 please switch to #neo900 Jun 30 19:27:21 Hmm Jun 30 19:27:26 freemangordon: No dice Jun 30 19:27:35 Xlib: connection to "10.134.52.10:0.0" refused by server Jun 30 19:27:35 Xlib: No protocol specified Jun 30 19:28:28 I've got xming up and running on :0.0 on my windows box Jun 30 19:28:39 I enabled x11 forwarding in /etc/ssh/sshd_config Jun 30 19:29:32 Snafu777: you need to start terminal on your x.x.x.x:1 X and do " xhost $IP_OF_N900" Jun 30 19:30:26 So the fact that the binary xhost doesn't exist on the n900 is not a factor? Jun 30 19:30:39 you need to do that on the sever side Jun 30 19:30:50 to allow connections from n900 "client" Jun 30 19:31:18 Ok let me ask a stupid question Jun 30 19:31:26 I changed the window to :1.0 Jun 30 19:31:35 Nokia-N900:~# export DISPLAY=10.134.52.10:1 Jun 30 19:31:35 Nokia-N900:~# opera Jun 30 19:31:35 for example "DISPLAY=:1 xterm" Jun 30 19:31:36 Xlib: connection to "10.134.52.10:1.0" refused by server Jun 30 19:32:08 yes, that is why you need to "authorize" n900's IP on your laptop Jun 30 19:32:23 by using xhost on laptop Jun 30 19:32:39 Ok, so there we go, I'm rocking a windows 7 box and i installed xming Jun 30 19:32:49 I definately don't have xhost installed, unless xming has that capability Jun 30 19:33:05 then tell xming to accept connections from everywhere Jun 30 19:33:18 0.0.0.0 Jun 30 19:33:21 right? Jun 30 19:34:15 Hmm, I'm thinking symantec is to blame now.... Jun 30 19:34:46 Snafu777: C:\Program Files\xming\X0.hosts Jun 30 19:35:00 add IP of N900 there Jun 30 19:36:10 k, working on it, stupid permissions, and no sudo, stupid windows => Jun 30 19:36:51 Some time ago I did a similar thing, but I used cygwin, which apparently has xhost :) Jun 30 19:37:03 yeah, i have cygwin, ssh just isnt installed Jun 30 19:37:10 you don;t need ssh Jun 30 19:37:11 and i tether, so downloading ssh client would be a pain Jun 30 19:37:13 i know Jun 30 19:37:18 this is plain X Jun 30 19:37:31 im just stating that yes I too have cygwin, and i wish i had ssh on it instead of going through putty in addition to xming Jun 30 19:37:38 also, make sure port 600n is opened, where n is your X display number Jun 30 19:37:53 firewall right? Jun 30 19:38:01 yeah Jun 30 19:38:05 haha, no control on that Jun 30 19:38:09 here's hoping they don't care Jun 30 19:38:14 I can play with my linux box at home tonight Jun 30 19:38:21 this was just an experiment to see if i could do it Jun 30 19:38:30 you may try with reverse ssh tunnel ;) Jun 30 19:38:41 yeah, i'm going to Jun 30 19:38:51 im familiar with that, just never with xming on windows Jun 30 19:38:59 just use cygwin Jun 30 19:39:24 edit startx.bat to to start xterm Jun 30 19:39:49 then do "xhost ..." and you're good to go Jun 30 19:40:06 don't start window manager Jun 30 19:40:16 yeah, too much trouble for windows right now. I'll nail it with linux, make sure it works and i understand the concept, THEN i will work on porting to windows =) Jun 30 19:40:31 makes sense Jun 30 19:40:50 I'm pretty sure symantec is in the way, and without a way to verify, im wasting time and breath Jun 30 19:41:54 yeah, if you can't open port 6000, there is no point in trying Jun 30 19:42:37 yep, thank u for the help though Jun 30 19:42:41 I've logged the notes for use tonight Jun 30 19:43:09 I just figure instead of pure shell on ssh, using the lxde via debian chroot will make for a cool concept for my little pocket computer Jun 30 19:49:46 Finish Him!: http://www.breitbart.com/system/wire/upiUPI-20140630-102713-5262 Jun 30 19:53:21 gawd! Jun 30 20:28:23 man bites dog, err... Jun 30 20:32:18 oO Jun 30 20:54:55 what's the best pdf reader on n900. Evince ? Jun 30 20:56:22 i use both. Evince seems slow when the pdf contains lots of pictures (seems to want to load as many into RAM or sth. like that) Jun 30 21:45:52 am I right that we got 7 candidates for council? Jun 30 21:46:46 communology is a surprising science Jun 30 21:48:36 ooh, if somebody feels like running for councilor, you got a few more minutes to post your self-nomination to maemo-community ML Jun 30 21:48:49 iirc Jun 30 21:50:20 and if not, then leaving council had to decide how to go on, and that would result in "you got a few more minutes" anyway Jun 30 21:50:57 /exec date -u Jun 30 21:51:36 DocScrutinizer05, I should have wait last minute Jun 30 21:51:51 so if you feel like running for council since you have something to give, don"t be shy Jun 30 21:52:18 i already accepted my nomination Jun 30 21:52:23 rZr: I think you're a great candidate Jun 30 21:52:29 since we were out of applicants Jun 30 21:52:48 DocScrutinizer05, thx .. but I am unsure I will be as involved as I was Jun 30 21:53:16 you definitely have the needed dedication Jun 30 21:53:39 we'll see Jun 30 21:54:19 you cant perform worse than me or even chemist during rcent term Jun 30 21:54:36 you're still on irc :) Jun 30 21:54:57 I always been Jun 30 21:55:06 the gitorious migration is a task for next council right ? Jun 30 21:56:49 if next council wants to pick up that task, then prolly yes Jun 30 21:56:49 I dunno how much migration is needed Jun 30 21:57:21 are you talking bout maemo.gitorious.org? Jun 30 21:57:39 yes Jun 30 21:57:54 probably meego will follow too Jun 30 21:58:53 will simply migrate from maemo.gitorious.org to gitorius.org/maemo Jun 30 21:59:35 ok not that hard Jun 30 21:59:53 we also backuped garage once to gitorious Jun 30 22:00:12 no more theming and skins, but then who needs that? Jun 30 22:01:28 xes recently mirrored all gitorious sruff marmo related to our own servers Jun 30 22:02:14 so no worries about gitorious aiui Jun 30 22:04:00 next council's main duty will be to stay alive and in control while HiFo (our cashier) will transform into a german e.V Jun 30 22:05:27 ~dong Jun 30 22:05:27 ding Jun 30 22:08:45 plus there's still a huge heap of junk in maemo infra, karma borked, all sorts of cronjobs disabled and dysfunct if enabled. Next council needs to think about *what* to do regarding that, while techstaff might take responsibility on the *how* Jun 30 22:10:38 generally we're terribly short of manpower in techstaff, will need sustained efforts of council to recruit more maintainers Jun 30 22:14:07 is the maemo infrastructure that complicated? Jun 30 22:15:43 oh yes! Jun 30 22:16:31 we have around a dozen VMs Jun 30 22:17:31 and currently for example NO maintainer or simply mod for the MLs Jun 30 22:18:00 xes recovered the password a few days ago Jun 30 22:18:05 lol Jun 30 22:18:10 :] Jun 30 22:18:28 well at least it's still up&running Jun 30 22:18:49 yeah, all silently bitrotting Jun 30 22:18:54 I guess we have specific stuff and home-crafted scripts there ? Jun 30 22:18:56 aww :( Jun 30 22:19:05 yup Jun 30 22:19:26 lots of customizations Jun 30 22:19:38 why was the password lost? Did someone forget it or was it stored at nokia hq? Jun 30 22:19:48 even for the buildbot ? Jun 30 22:19:51 in wiki, auth, karma, whatnot Jun 30 22:20:22 are the mods even necessary Jun 30 22:20:32 that been xfade (iirc) who gone pooof a 2 yers ago Jun 30 22:20:38 I personally never cared about something like karma Jun 30 22:20:44 do you use obs ? Jun 30 22:20:51 nope Jun 30 22:21:05 ok that was at bottom of todo list ? :) Jun 30 22:21:20 cauldron and midgard Jun 30 22:21:29 ohmyplease no obs :D Jun 30 22:21:41 bencoh, then dont vote for me :) Jun 30 22:21:48 midgard-ONE Jun 30 22:22:25 "d not even nemein, inventor of midgard, dared to migrate to midgard2 Jun 30 22:22:52 abd* Jun 30 22:22:55 meh Jun 30 22:22:59 and* Jun 30 22:23:37 (dare) thabks to all the customized stuff Jun 30 22:29:55 rZr: ohwell I'm no one to tell since I'm not helping :) Jun 30 22:52:16 freemangordon: hope you remeber the x-server & easy-deb thing you were discussing with Snafu777. I' have tried 'everything' on my debian pc .. no luck. i'm on a lan, no ports closed at all. Jun 30 22:53:30 in EasyDeb chroot, all i get is "No protocol specified. error: can't open display: 192.168.1.100:1" Jun 30 22:54:54 btw I'm definitely not capableto find the most recent timetable/schedule for the elections. I end somewhere at http://wiki.maemo.org/Community_Council/Election_process or http://wiki.maemo.org/Community_Council/Council_election_May_2014#Election_timetable Jun 30 22:58:48 * DocScrutinizer05 hands out pitchforks and base clubs Jun 30 22:59:17 *please* beat me, I must have a mental defect Jun 30 23:01:08 DocScrutinizer05: for still volunteering as a steward to the maemo community? Jun 30 23:01:15 yup Jun 30 23:01:23 definitely a mental defect. Jun 30 23:01:24 * DocScrutinizer05 <-- jackass Jun 30 23:02:15 stupid ^^^ up there Jun 30 23:03:08 I still hope for schedule declaring me late and ruling out Jun 30 23:03:45 or maybe I will even lose the elections, with some 7 competitors Jun 30 23:04:01 you can always claim you're temporarily insane today because germany won the match versus algeria Jun 30 23:04:17 honestly, I dunno who would vote for me, when I declare I have <30min per week for council Jun 30 23:04:35 that must have been it, right ;-.D Jun 30 23:05:05 rZr tricked me into volunteering ;-P Jun 30 23:06:43 oooh, and I forgot: I got commercial interest in maemo. Maybe that disqualifies me?? pleeeease! Jun 30 23:08:37 you're planning to get rich with neo900? ^^ Jun 30 23:10:05 suuuure Jun 30 23:10:19 sell millions of devices and become a billionaire Jun 30 23:10:41 we already have >100 preorders ;-) Jun 30 23:10:45 just make it fully android compatible >_> Jun 30 23:10:59 I would preorder in a second if I could justify the expense :F Jun 30 23:11:00 huh? it is! Jun 30 23:11:09 really? Jun 30 23:11:19 all of the hardware? Jun 30 23:11:24 sure, why would it be incompatible to android?? Jun 30 23:11:46 we're even considering to ship it with replicant Jun 30 23:11:55 well, the n900 isn't really android-compatible Jun 30 23:12:04 errr? Jun 30 23:12:18 too many buttons? Jun 30 23:12:26 I thought that would transfer to the neo900 :D Jun 30 23:12:32 too little tivoization? Jun 30 23:13:19 ooh, sorry, N900 ! rrrright, that's a bit of a problem maybe, because N900 doesn't know multitouch Jun 30 23:13:45 Neo900, on the other hand.... Jun 30 23:13:52 :-D Jun 30 23:14:02 I thought not all the drivers and firmware works with android Jun 30 23:14:21 ummm, I honestly dunno Jun 30 23:14:26 I played around with android on my n900 a little bit Jun 30 23:14:30 didn't get very far Jun 30 23:14:45 never touched android - literally (when my GF's phone doesn't count) Jun 30 23:15:30 https://www.replicant.us/2014/06/replicant-4-2-on-the-goldelico-gta04/ Jun 30 23:15:53 http://neo900.org/#news µBlog Jun 30 23:16:27 actually https://www.replicant.us/2014/06/replicant-4-2-on-the-goldelico-gta04/comment-page-1/#comment-1948791 Jun 30 23:16:29 I have a samsung galaxy S2 that I just carry everywhere in my backpack Jun 30 23:16:31 I never use it Jun 30 23:16:46 it's for a university project and I'm the person assigned to making sure it doesn't get lost or stolen ^^ Jun 30 23:16:58 oh my Jun 30 23:17:05 :-S Jun 30 23:17:53 neo900 is based on gta04? Jun 30 23:18:40 err, it's a synthesis, a chimera Jun 30 23:19:08 of GTA04, N900, and the ancestors of both: beagleboard and TI Zoom-II Jun 30 23:19:33 hehe Jun 30 23:19:51 cool (: Jun 30 23:25:59 * honestly notes down goldelico as a place to apply to once I'm done with my degree Jun 30 23:35:56 chem|st: since a few days i can see a slow down of talk.maemo.org pages since the page loading hangs waiting pixel.quantserve.com scripts. Could you make a check? Jun 30 23:39:58 xes: again? darn plugins 500 people request and noone ever uses, guess that is also part of tapatalk... will have a look 2morrow Jun 30 23:40:50 chem|st: thanks Jun 30 23:41:14 xes: I need to upgrade the forums the next days, when is a good time to catch you for snapshotting? Jun 30 23:42:01 I'd like to do it more or less live, only a few minutes downtime on the frontend if possible Jun 30 23:42:34 do you need a snapshot of the complete vm? Jun 30 23:43:21 is this Jun 30 23:43:39 a critical update? Jun 30 23:46:31 anyway, complete vm snapshot something more than just a few minutes Jun 30 23:46:53 *requires Jun 30 23:48:22 xes: it is not that huge, is it? few minutes might be >15 Jun 30 23:49:54 if nobody applied the security patches I uploaded then there is security patches and more security patches and an update Jun 30 23:51:02 I guess as we have all things backed up a quick db backup triggered should be enough (can I trigger that from the backend myself? never checked, warfare's domain right?) Jun 30 23:51:38 snapshot would just save alot of time if something goes south Jun 30 23:52:03 gtg to bed, read you 2morrow Jun 30 23:52:09 vm is not so big, probably a complete snapshot would require ~10 minutes. Jun 30 23:52:29 thats fine Jun 30 23:52:36 bbb Jun 30 23:52:54 good night Jul 01 00:37:09 community awesomeness... we have some 6~8 nominees :O :) Jul 01 00:39:03 is it somewhere written in stone that nominations have to be posted to community mailing list? Jul 01 00:39:54 candidacy rather... Jul 01 00:52:52 yes Jul 01 00:53:28 iirc Jul 01 00:54:30 afaik, that is the case, but where is it written... ? Jul 01 00:54:47 when somewhere then in election rules on wiki Jul 01 00:55:08 what's not there doesn't exist :-) Jul 01 00:55:22 then nope... Jul 01 00:55:29 http://wiki.maemo.org/Community_Council/El Jul 01 00:55:37 http://wiki.maemo.org/Community_Council/Election_process oops Jul 01 00:55:56 ...doesn't say so... Jul 01 01:03:27 :nod: weird. Maybe it been a legacy rule every council chair put into election announcement in the past? I dunno Jul 01 01:04:12 I would have bet a considerable asset that there been a rule that nominations *must* be done on community-ML Jul 01 01:04:59 since we had cases where candidates almost or even actually missed on that, and it got resolved by accepting infra downtime on ML as excuse Jul 01 01:05:21 hmm... Jul 01 01:05:47 whatever, we're past extended nomination now, so we're free to do "whatever we like2 Jul 01 01:07:43 [2014-06-30 Mon 23:50:20] and if not, then leaving council had to decide how to go on, and that would result in "you got a few more minutes" anyway Jul 01 01:07:46 not really, there are... wait... 8 fully valid candidancies... Jul 01 01:08:21 and if there were not, then... yeah, when one of them missed to announce on ML in time... Jul 01 01:08:36 but seems we got no binding such rule Jul 01 01:09:01 so dirkvl is out? http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=1431484#post1431484 Jul 01 01:09:28 sorry, I'm busy.
