**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Jan 16 02:59:58 2011 Jan 16 08:24:47 hi Jan 16 08:25:14 lo Jan 16 10:12:27 morn lbt Jan 16 10:12:42 morning .... Jan 16 10:13:01 my desktop crashed :( Jan 16 10:13:27 :( Jan 16 10:13:56 i'm fighting with my joggler Jan 16 10:15:05 I spent last night fighting with a 10m HDMI/DVI cable ... v. annoying Jan 16 10:15:40 what insane bunch of cretins makes a video protocol that won't work with cables > a few metres? Jan 16 10:17:28 people who want to go into wireless displays? ;) Jan 16 10:22:03 lbt: people who don't understand the concept of "separate media centre" ? Jan 16 10:23:21 it is rather astounding though.... Jan 16 10:23:35 got one of these for xmas : http://www.ebuyer.com/product/225754 Jan 16 10:23:58 is Nvidia ION supported by MeeGo... ;) Jan 16 10:25:48 oh, Stskeeps ... we have an irc VM Jan 16 10:25:52 lbt: if you recompile xorg with XINERAMA Jan 16 10:31:44 lbt: and nice, what do you need me to provide besides my soul to get access? Jan 16 10:32:47 a newly generated, meego-only, passphrase protected, ssh key Jan 16 10:33:09 ok, might have to be later today (going to the parents in law) Jan 16 10:33:11 it was on my list for today but adam beat me to it last night Jan 16 10:33:21 yeah - I doubt it has any kind of access yet Jan 16 10:33:34 it only needs to reach out doesn't it? no inbound connections? Jan 16 10:33:38 (so NAT is OK) Jan 16 10:35:48 lbt: is that little PC fanless? Jan 16 10:36:27 not quite... but it's damned quiet ... I think the fan is off most of the time. PSU is an external brick Jan 16 10:36:35 ah cool Jan 16 10:36:49 I was umming and arring about building a media centre Jan 16 10:36:56 though in that case I'd need usb tuners Jan 16 10:37:16 which would probablty have a better chance of being supported under Linux though Jan 16 10:37:24 http://netbooked.net/netbook-reviews/review/acer-aspire-revo-review/ Jan 16 10:37:28 has some internal piccies Jan 16 10:37:44 thanks Jan 16 10:37:47 happened to see it last night when looking for hdmi problem/solutions Jan 16 10:38:26 (eventually I went to sainsburys, bought a short hdmi cable and got a binary dump of the EDID - which was enough to force it into the right mode) Jan 16 10:38:43 hmm, I wish that would work for one of my desktop monitors Jan 16 10:39:05 is uninterested even with a binary EDID in xorg.conf Jan 16 10:39:17 ew Jan 16 10:39:55 I use it as a myth frontend Jan 16 10:40:06 have the backend + tuners elsewhere Jan 16 10:40:15 I was wondering if it was my DVI to VGA connector, though the driver seems to think it has an HDMI port, so perhaps it's all a bit wrong Jan 16 10:40:19 lbt: ah ok Jan 16 10:41:03 it's a bit physically small to use as a backend for a decent system it'd sprout wires Jan 16 10:41:03 lbt: the IRC VM, is that something meego official? also for bots? Jan 16 10:41:17 dm8tbr: yes Jan 16 10:41:43 lbt: yeah that was my worry Jan 16 10:42:19 can I get an account for meegobot then? :) (I can create an key in a few minutes if necessary) Jan 16 10:42:32 dm8tbr: let's see if we can integrate up the work Jan 16 10:42:49 there's a couple of bots that'd be nice to merge, so Jan 16 10:42:50 dm8tbr: we've not got a policy for accounts yet - probably have Stskeeps as the maintainer for that system Jan 16 10:43:38 Stskeeps: sure Jan 16 10:44:06 you don't happen to know if there's a bugzilla plugin for supybot? Jan 16 10:44:35 no idea Jan 16 10:45:07 also there's more bugzilla functionality than bug queries Jan 16 10:45:38 you can subscribe a mozbot to bugmail and it will notify of bug changes in designated channels Jan 16 11:21:44 lbt, meego booted to a degree on my packard bell allinone multitouch whilst you were gone! :P Jan 16 11:22:11 ooh Jan 16 11:22:18 pics? Jan 16 11:22:24 http://liqbase.net/meego.on.packard.bell.onetwo.20110114_001.jpg Jan 16 11:22:40 handset needs to adapt to x11 screen resolution Jan 16 11:22:41 :) Jan 16 11:23:00 for any machine its on Jan 16 11:23:09 bug 12455 Jan 16 11:23:12 Bug https://bugs.meego.com/show_bug.cgi?id=12455 nor, Undecided, ---, jesse.barnes, NEW, Displayed UI does not adapt to available screen resolution Jan 16 11:23:42 cos those black borders have appeared on any machine Jan 16 11:23:52 it also happily boots on my work x200s too Jan 16 11:24:05 * lcuk ponders Jan 16 11:24:05 brb Jan 16 11:28:58 lcuk: http://pastie.org/1466246 Jan 16 11:39:58 Stskeeps, but when do you apply that? Jan 16 11:40:17 lcuk: well, at image creation time Jan 16 11:40:44 and what happens if I boot meego onto a system where I can plug a monitor into (instead of a single fixed monitor) Jan 16 11:40:51 got a point there Jan 16 11:41:17 Stskeeps, this same usb key works on ideapad, pb.onetwo, x200s etc Jan 16 11:41:23 "works" Jan 16 11:41:45 well, ask people to make resolution autodetect for meegotouch ;) Jan 16 11:41:49 i just went to try it onthe x41 and the amd machine downstairs Jan 16 11:41:55 thats what the bug is for! Jan 16 11:42:08 good Jan 16 11:42:17 just saying ther's a temp solution :P Jan 16 11:42:54 yeah we used similar with the ideapad Jan 16 11:42:54 http://wiki.meego.com/MeeGo_Desktop/Changing_Desktops#Get_correct_resolution_on_IdeaPad Jan 16 11:43:05 theres multiple ways to do it Jan 16 11:44:12 AMD machine ominously suggests in a DOS console line during boot that the cpu opcodes are not supported, not unexpected really Jan 16 11:44:18 its an AMD dualcore 64b Jan 16 11:44:51 and the x41 is failing to boot its own OS let alone meego Jan 16 11:56:56 morning Jan 16 11:57:32 morning Jan 16 11:58:05 I had to remove meegotouch-* to have the VKB removed on the ideapad, how do I enable non touch UI as came with the ideapad the first place? Jan 16 11:58:07 morn Jan 16 12:03:12 sivang, hrm? see the changing desktops page for some info, but depends what you installed since you got it Jan 16 12:03:28 in the conf we were given keys with netbook image on Jan 16 12:08:29 lcuk: yes, I am not so conversant with the rpm tools, so it is not as easy as with Ubuntu. Also, modifications to the configuration files seem to go ignored Jan 16 12:09:02 lcuk: to sum it up, the desktop/netbook experience on the ideapad as per 1.1 is very poor in my taste. I expected just the very basics to be there. Jan 16 12:09:16 even how it came stock, that is. Jan 16 12:12:51 welcome to the personality split between being end-user and platform.. Jan 16 12:14:05 exactly Jan 16 12:14:24 at least we could perhaps market it as a platform only? Jan 16 12:14:37 at least until it gets an end-user product Jan 16 12:16:23 an old issue really :) it surprises me noone has taken meego core and start to put the pieces together for something full and usable :P Jan 16 12:16:35 it is fairly easy to customize Jan 16 12:17:15 Stskeeps: Well, not if you want usable touch ui Jan 16 12:17:35 Stskeeps: as explained nicely by the last commenter on the window resize non boog Jan 16 12:18:16 sivang, which bug Jan 16 12:20:04 lcuk: it would be close to impossible for me to find it right now (thanks to bugzilla) try to google for "hard to resize windows" or something Jan 16 12:20:20 as I only have 2 minutes before I need to run Jan 16 12:20:26 cheers for now, be back later Jan 16 12:20:29 sivang, I have an alternative resize bug too Jan 16 12:20:39 which is related to browser window opening at 1 pixel in from the edges Jan 16 12:20:51 but hard to resize is a different issue on touch Jan 16 12:21:08 touchpad + touch screen is a horrid mix, imho Jan 16 12:21:13 bug 10444 Jan 16 12:21:16 Bug https://bugs.meego.com/show_bug.cgi?id=10444 nor, Undecided, ---, ningxin.hu, NEW, Browser scrolling not possible when mouse at screen borders Jan 16 12:21:17 it is very difficult to make good UIs for Jan 16 12:21:27 the touchpad is on its own reasonable Jan 16 12:21:37 especially when you want to scroll a text file whilst coding Jan 16 12:21:43 yes, but then we're back at WIMP Jan 16 12:21:45 a touch ui is different Jan 16 12:22:00 of course, the ideapad is dualmode Jan 16 12:22:12 right, and UI should follow that Jan 16 12:23:33 sivang, how should border/edge resizing work? (I used to allow whole window size to do resizing relative to corner so you dont have to aim for the tiny edge Jan 16 12:23:42 but it requires enabling resizing in the first place for some things Jan 16 12:24:10 but I am watching Magnum P.I dvd Jan 16 12:24:19 * lcuk bbl Jan 16 12:24:32 my moustache is taking notes. Jan 16 13:39:54 * lardman wonders if lcuk's Ferrari and Hughes 500 were also taking notes? Jan 16 13:42:18 lardman, :D of course. totally cool helicopter! Jan 16 13:42:57 * lcuk can see lardman is a fan also. Jan 16 13:49:01 lardman, the yachts aren't bad either, one of my mates is a captain in the Maldives atm Jan 16 13:49:50 noted because its raining in Manchester atm, lucky sob Jan 16 13:56:34 raining in Manchester, now that is a surprise Jan 16 14:15:21 * mrdongle_ checksums Jan 16 16:25:39 hi Jan 16 16:34:55 sivang: disable launch of meegotouch-im-uiserver to disable the VKB Jan 16 16:40:09 vgrade, have you got a .ks to build a meego image for the joggler with GL/GLes? I've noticed you have an emgd driver in home:vgrade Jan 16 16:47:53 arfoll: i'm not 100% sure they're stable Jan 16 16:50:05 Stskeeps, thanks been chatting to vgrade Jan 16 17:10:21 Hello everyone Jan 16 17:10:29 lo wazd Jan 16 17:10:44 Stskeeps: o/ Jan 16 17:11:06 Stskeeps: good luck @ fosdem :) Jan 16 17:11:51 thanks Jan 16 17:12:13 Stskeeps: but considering your outstanding work in Dublin - you won't need it :) Jan 16 17:12:35 i'll have my wife along, so that ups the nervousity ;) Jan 16 17:12:58 Stskeeps: ooh :) Jan 16 17:13:52 Stskeeps: I'm still trying to track that weird handset bug Jan 16 17:14:03 which one? Jan 16 17:14:22 Stskeeps: n900 can't recognize stock handset Jan 16 17:14:48 Stskeeps: just don't see it Jan 16 17:15:14 headset, you mean Jan 16 17:15:31 Ooops, sprry :) Jan 16 17:15:49 Sorry, about -25 outside :) Jan 16 17:15:59 uh, Stskeeps as Fosdem? we should have a beer then :) Jan 16 17:16:24 andre__: if you arrive friday it will be more than one ;) Jan 16 17:16:28 andre__: yeah, will be having a talk in embedded devroom Jan 16 17:16:48 i'll arrive friday evening Jan 16 17:16:53 cool Jan 16 17:17:13 18:30ish here at airport Jan 16 17:18:03 18:55 here Jan 16 17:18:14 yay :) Jan 16 17:18:52 make your flight arrive earlier and you'll catch the train with us :) Jan 16 17:18:58 haha Jan 16 17:19:06 train? hmm, last time I took a bus Jan 16 17:19:55 the train connection is quite comfortable and drops you off slightly north of city centre Jan 16 17:21:15 most hotels _and_ the delirium bar are just minutes from there Jan 16 17:36:02 lcuk: finished the Magnum marathon? Jan 16 17:36:27 when were you planning the London (or wherever) meet? I need to juggle my diary Jan 16 17:36:46 only watched 4 eps so far. Jan 16 17:36:47 there is a cambridge meet Jan 16 17:43:31 lardman|home, no on both counts. the london meet was just observation that it would be easier for more people to get to London Jan 16 17:43:53 np, let me know what the plan is once one is decided Jan 16 17:44:02 ok Jan 16 17:44:07 and how's the moustache, Ferrari and helicopter? Jan 16 17:45:00 :D Jan 16 18:20:09 javispedro: http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/16/hp-promises-webos-netbooks-to-go-along-with-smartphones-and-slat/ Jan 16 18:21:12 well, makes sense. Jan 16 18:22:06 well, makes me wonder about the qt stuff in webos :P Jan 16 18:22:54 I think they're using it as a helper library only Jan 16 18:22:58 at least, so far. Jan 16 18:23:03 :nod: Jan 16 18:26:23 hello. Jan 16 18:30:39 Any one here? Jan 16 18:31:31 hhi Jan 16 18:31:56 Hi. Jan 16 18:34:58 I have been thinking about Meego, as I am Gentoo user. Jan 16 18:35:39 how is that related? Jan 16 18:36:29 lbt: where would you like bugs for build.pub.m.c filed? :) Jan 16 18:36:38 Both platforms are related by Linux kernel and largely by the infrastructure of the software stack. Jan 16 18:37:06 Stephen256: I would say that applies to any Linux distro :) Jan 16 18:41:26 Yes. As a Gentoo user I like a home brewed system. I am wondering about that with regard to Megoo. Jan 16 18:41:49 Stephen256: you can pretty much put meego together in funny configurations Jan 16 18:41:59 it's a package based system though Jan 16 18:44:17 Is that a problem? Jan 16 18:45:59 The package based system I mean. Jan 16 18:49:43 you tell us Jan 16 18:50:05 as in it's not compile everything from scratch ;) Jan 16 18:50:29 Okay, I'll tell you what I do know. Jan 16 18:51:19 In gentoo for example there are graphics card drivers from Nvidia and ATI which are closed source binaries that are installed as kernel modules. Jan 16 18:53:01 As dev you can build binary packages for example Open Office, Firefox, Thunderbird, Flash and others. Jan 16 18:54:38 As a user I can only speak from my own experience, with regards to software management through the gentoo Portage package management program. Jan 16 18:55:18 Btw, Fiirefox and Thunderbird as they are open source also ship in source code forms. Jan 16 18:55:44 Stephen256: so what's your question? Jan 16 19:00:24 Before I answer that one, I'll warn you that I haven't thought this out as well as I thought I had... for that I apologise. In short, could a user install a KDE or Gnome desktop on to a Meego device. Admittedly, I have a home brew bias hence the gentoo slant. Jan 16 19:01:22 why not just use those distros then Jan 16 19:02:09 maybe you don't know why you are here :) Jan 16 19:02:29 I'm not sure about driver support, for example if your target platform is a new GSM enabled Tablet device. Jan 16 19:02:40 I never know why I'm here. Jan 16 19:03:59 Or for that fact drivers for a capacitive touch screen. Jan 16 19:06:44 It is my impression that Meego is targeting more than just embedded mobile devices, so from a selfish point of view I'd like to see my embedded device sharing the same code base/ design philosophy as my desktop. Jan 16 19:17:42 Stephen256: it's just a matter of someone porting them Jan 16 19:19:11 Stephen256: the reason for their inavailability is that gnome or kde is not designed for touchscreen devices Jan 16 19:19:53 Stephen256: but, since they are free and open source, you could dl and build them Jan 16 19:22:47 Good points all of them, to do that say on a netbook, first I'd need one of the supported hardware platforms. Jan 16 19:23:01 ooh! Jan 16 19:23:03 xterm! Jan 16 19:23:08 s/that/dl and build them. Jan 16 19:23:47 Stephen256: MeeGo and its SDK are available for non-netbook devices Jan 16 19:23:50 is there a way to switch between windows in X without an x server? Jan 16 19:23:57 and no mouse Jan 16 19:24:12 wmarone: without an x server there are no x windows either Jan 16 19:24:18 err Jan 16 19:24:21 my bad Jan 16 19:24:24 I mean, window manager Jan 16 19:25:02 wmarone: umm... I don't think so. Jan 16 19:25:18 :/ that's what I'm thinking Jan 16 19:25:23 well, meego booted at least :) Jan 16 19:25:34 wmarone: without a window manager, there's nothing to react to any input events Jan 16 19:26:40 try alt-tab Jan 16 19:26:40 wmarone: you could try to boot to a terminal and install a window manager Jan 16 19:28:05 if I'm going to do that, I'll dig around to get mic2 working and just create an image of handset Jan 16 19:28:18 though I'll have to install fedora or somesuch to use the 0.24 version like vgrade said Jan 16 19:28:48 wmarone: what device are you installing it to? Jan 16 19:29:07 viewsonic gtablet (tegra 2, requires hardfp build) Jan 16 19:30:10 mhm Jan 16 19:32:11 Anyone know how to get anti-aliased fonts in Qt apps in MeeGo netbook? Any package I'm missing? Jan 16 20:01:25 wmarone, \o/ Jan 16 20:01:46 welcome to the tegra 2 team Jan 16 20:02:13 heh Jan 16 20:02:44 ooo Jan 16 20:03:03 now I need to get fedora 13 installed so I can use a dev version of mic2 Jan 16 20:03:03 w00t_: bugs.meego.com ... there is a community build area there Jan 16 20:03:24 lbt: k Jan 16 20:03:25 wmarone: works fine for me under f14 Jan 16 20:03:31 well Jan 16 20:03:36 I have no fedora installs whatsoever Jan 16 20:03:47 so I'm grabbing what I have handy Jan 16 20:03:55 m'hmm Jan 16 20:03:56 Cool Jan 16 20:04:06 lbt: executive summary: there appears to be no (non-'advanced' tab) way to target meego:current:core Jan 16 20:04:43 w00t_, that one stumped me for a while Jan 16 20:04:50 w00t_: we may need to review the project structures Jan 16 20:05:22 there is a dialog box which says will be automatcally populated Jan 16 20:06:14 this means it will be populated after you start typing into it Jan 16 20:06:19 lbt: had a chance to catch up with the COBS/Extras/Surrounds thread? Jan 16 20:07:03 Jaffa: hey.... no ... but I am writing some stuff Jan 16 20:07:42 I'm going to wave and thank you for your time. I am looking forward to seeing Meego in handset devices and other places. All the best. Jan 16 20:07:48 .quit Bye. Jan 16 20:08:10 Dratt that wasn't supposed to go like that. Bye. Jan 16 20:09:08 w00t_, or have I misunderstood your problem Jan 16 20:10:25 vgrade: sort of, I think - my point is that it should be easier to set up builds against current meego without having to do that Jan 16 20:12:21 w00t_, so meego:current:core should be part of the list of default reps and not required the advanced tab Jan 16 20:12:33 right Jan 16 20:13:06 lbt: http://lists.meego.com/pipermail/meego-community/2010-December/003021.html and then crosses into the Jan archives: http://lists.meego.com/pipermail/meego-community/2011-January/003043.html Jan 16 20:14:23 yeah... I'm using that and preparing some content and scope which I'll put here : http://wiki.meego.com/Community_Office/Task_Forces Jan 16 20:14:41 also see my rant to ... someone... just before xmas Jan 16 20:14:53 sabotage / shane? Jan 16 20:16:13 shane Jan 16 20:16:14 yes Jan 16 20:22:24 lbt: indeed, that's what prompted me to think about it in more detail - and the excellent points raised in your rant. Jan 16 20:22:53 lbt: My short version - openness: good; leadership & empowerment to make decisions: needed. Jan 16 20:23:07 lbt: That's why I'm not sure on qgil's "under the CO" angle. Jan 16 20:23:13 lbt: But I should get back to MWKN editing. Jan 16 20:23:26 when's the deadline? Jan 16 20:23:40 lbt: For MWKN? 6am UTC tomorrow morning. Ish. Jan 16 20:23:46 Usually very "ish" recently Jan 16 20:23:51 hehe ... OK Jan 16 20:23:56 * lbt types faster Jan 16 20:24:00 Something good for the frontpage would be nice ;-) Jan 16 20:25:12 "Alterego finds matd" Jan 16 20:26:50 Jaffa: have you seen my little puzzle master app? Jan 16 20:27:53 Venemo_N900: No, missed that. URL? Jan 16 20:28:55 Jaffa: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=67139 Jan 16 20:29:07 Jaffa: installable from -devel atm Jan 16 20:29:13 Venemo_N900: ta Jan 16 20:30:29 Jaffa: try it. I'm curious about your opinion :) Jan 16 20:30:49 Venemo_N900: It's obviously an evil trojan ;-) Jan 16 20:31:03 Jaffa: it should be compilable for meego and other distros, but it has a surprise when ran on the N900 Jan 16 20:31:04 Jaffa, I'll do better tonight. Promise! ;) Jan 16 20:31:32 Jaffa: you should have seen DocScrutinizer's reaction Jan 16 20:34:59 is meego better or faster than maemo 5 on the nokia n900? is the repository bigger? does it contain many bugs in the most common programs like apps for calling, sms, mms, browser and terminal? can I use apt-get? Jan 16 20:35:42 root_: Meego 1.1 Handset can be considered a developer preview Jan 16 20:35:46 root_: No & no. Definitely not. Almost certainly. No, it's RPM based; use 'yum' Jan 16 20:35:47 root_: not yet. Jan 16 20:35:53 jonnor: Short version - what jonnor said.
