**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Feb 17 02:59:58 2011 Feb 17 03:43:58 * npm ssh's into s10-3t to see what the hangup is on boot Feb 17 05:46:11 hey Feb 17 06:51:34 hi, what is new on MWC? Feb 17 06:51:37 and meego? Feb 17 06:52:51 carrypad.com has fairly decent coverage **** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Feb 17 07:32:20 2011 Feb 17 07:39:02 morning Feb 17 07:42:32 anybody knows how to make pinetrail resize to the ideapad's resolution? Feb 17 07:45:06 also, it would be nice to have evince Feb 17 07:45:12 or other pdf reader on pinetrail Feb 17 07:45:21 what image.. Feb 17 07:45:21 * sivang thinks of creating his own ebook reader UX Feb 17 07:46:23 Stskeeps: the pinetrail downloaded from intel Feb 17 07:46:46 meego-tablet-ia32-pinetrail.iso Feb 17 07:46:52 no idea then Feb 17 07:47:23 the only good thing about it is swype so far, otherwise given the ideapad resolution and screen realestate impossible to leave apps without killing them from the VT Feb 17 07:49:20 I have been trying to download the pinetrail tablet image for couple of times, no succes so far. Connection has always broken after ~50M Feb 17 07:49:26 would really like to test it on the ideapad. Feb 17 07:50:04 wget -c ♥ Feb 17 07:51:11 myrtti, yeah, have to do it like that the next time Feb 17 07:51:15 Myrtti: ha! Feb 17 07:51:50 Ronksu: it's not so fitted for the ideapad though. Not even as a mere ebook reader in my taste. Feb 17 07:52:40 sivang: too bad. Will try out of curiosity though, don't have much use for the ideapad otherwise. Feb 17 07:54:02 Ronksu: don't get me wrong. it is quite nice, the UX elements there are tablet suited and pretty Feb 17 07:54:10 Ronksu: but it still more love to go the wya Feb 17 07:54:39 sivang: yep, not expecting anything finished Feb 17 08:06:52 hi Feb 17 08:36:49 * timeless pokes lbt/x-fade Feb 17 08:45:03 timeless: pong Feb 17 08:45:15 any progress? Feb 17 08:45:36 we're meeting next week in oregon and will discuss it then Feb 17 08:45:46 do we have a BMC# for timeless's request? Feb 17 08:45:47 who uses this system ? Feb 17 08:45:55 timeless: BMC? Feb 17 08:46:04 bugs.meego.com Feb 17 08:46:14 yes I know. Thanks Feb 17 08:46:17 this is nuts Feb 17 08:46:30 what's there to discuss? the vm was created Feb 17 08:46:43 someone was supposed to set up an ldap account, surely that takes 10mins Feb 17 08:46:48 has it been done? Feb 17 08:46:51 I said "no" Feb 17 08:47:02 FYI Feb 17 08:47:15 ? context? Feb 17 08:47:18 we have not properly assessed how much resource this will use Feb 17 08:47:22 there are no backup plans Feb 17 08:47:38 * timeless bangs head against wall Feb 17 08:47:39 there is no indication of where this should fit in our priority Feb 17 08:47:58 the backup is that when the service goes down some people whine Feb 17 08:48:06 that's no different from any other service Feb 17 08:48:08 I know you are the single most important person in your world. But I'm trying not to just react to the people who shout loudest Feb 17 08:48:25 we have a *LOT* to do and frankly mxr is low down on the list Feb 17 08:48:28 setting it up again... well, give me the box and use a stop watch and i'll let you know Feb 17 08:48:31 it is not a *no* Feb 17 08:48:59 would that be useful? Feb 17 08:49:00 * timeless should run a log analyzer on mxr.maemo.org Feb 17 08:49:01 it is a "we are going to look at your request as part of our planning next week" Feb 17 08:49:17 it would be useful to have an idea of how many users you expect Feb 17 08:49:30 eg is mxr more important than wiki? Feb 17 08:49:36 how about auth system Feb 17 08:49:45 how about the sdk site? Feb 17 08:49:47 no auth required until private repos are indexed Feb 17 08:49:58 which should we downgrade to do your work? Feb 17 08:50:18 all things considered, having a cross reference is cheaper and more useful than an sdk site Feb 17 08:50:21 no those are amongst the projects we're looking at Feb 17 08:50:23 which is unlikely to be well maintained Feb 17 08:50:53 since a cross reference automatically provides access to whatever code and hence code docs or code indicating actual quirks are present Feb 17 08:50:54 timeless: the current mechanism for getting a service up on meego.com isn't great Feb 17 08:51:02 really? i hadn't noticed Feb 17 08:51:08 somehow the qa team managed Feb 17 08:51:15 and yet, tbh, their thing is crap Feb 17 08:51:22 and utterly worthless Feb 17 08:51:33 although perhaps someone gave them their thing to stop them from spamming wiki Feb 17 08:51:41 so that people could spend less time cleaning up wiki Feb 17 08:52:05 timeless: do you have the server logs from the mxr you setup Feb 17 08:52:07 the number of users actually using the qa graph server has to be far fewer than the number who will use mxr Feb 17 08:52:17 so you can say "this is how many hits we had" Feb 17 08:52:21 lbt: i have logs for mxr.maemo.org and the internal one Feb 17 08:52:26 no Feb 17 08:52:29 meego one Feb 17 08:52:36 the one for meego.com, we have to ask jebba Feb 17 08:52:40 it was up for 2 months iirc Feb 17 08:52:48 OK - that will help Feb 17 08:52:57 lbt: ask jebba in the bug Feb 17 08:53:07 since that's where you want the info and that's where he's reading Feb 17 08:53:13 no. jebba is not someone I'm involving in this Feb 17 08:53:13 explain how you want the data Feb 17 08:53:25 all I'm asking is to fairly assess mxr wrt other services Feb 17 08:53:25 ok Feb 17 08:54:20 really that's not my job. It's CO with Dawn or Quim ... but we are not yet setup so we do as best we can Feb 17 08:54:43 so. help me to set the priority and we will get onto it Feb 17 08:55:08 meanwhile asking "are we there yet" like a child on a long car journey is not endearing you to me..... Feb 17 08:55:44 sorry, but you're being a stick in the mud Feb 17 08:55:50 and are not endearing yourself to the channel Feb 17 08:55:56 *g* Feb 17 08:56:08 i'd like to be able to set up mxr even if no one can access it Feb 17 08:56:19 sure Feb 17 08:56:25 that requires some time but shouldn't require worries about backup resources Feb 17 08:56:30 or just about anything else Feb 17 08:56:35 just someone to give me the keys Feb 17 08:56:54 and that kind of attitude is why we don't give out keys. Feb 17 08:57:06 i don't want root Feb 17 08:57:13 and i will not try to acquire root Feb 17 08:57:15 if/when you leave (as you regularly say you will) then who looks after this service? Feb 17 08:57:24 cf jebba Feb 17 08:57:27 me? Feb 17 08:57:32 Niels? Feb 17 08:57:52 so yes, I am looking to the long term installation Feb 17 08:58:01 and yes I care about backup/recovery Feb 17 08:58:08 Will anyone care at that point? Feb 17 08:58:36 when timeless leaves? No.... it'll all be over : Feb 17 08:58:45 lbt: i have a couple of people who i'm grooming to be able to pick up mxr setup Feb 17 08:59:02 but, there's little point in asking them to do work now Feb 17 08:59:50 OK that's 15 mins on this .... I've explained and said it's on the teams discussion list for planning .... now-> work Feb 17 09:00:06 get me those hit stats please Feb 17 09:00:28 nb... that's something that's needed for DawnFoster's stats project Feb 17 09:00:39 so we know where to allocate resource Feb 17 09:00:54 so I assume you correctly set that up on the mxr.meego.com instance you had Feb 17 09:01:36 it's apache, from memory access_log was generated Feb 17 09:02:05 good. That should help Feb 17 09:03:01 do you guys publish stats for the other services? Feb 17 09:03:09 * timeless would love to see stats for qa-graphs Feb 17 09:03:35 ask DawnFoster Feb 17 09:04:01 morning all Feb 17 09:57:46 lo Feb 17 09:57:59 lo Feb 17 10:03:13 1;2c/LEAVE Feb 17 11:17:34 morn wazd Feb 17 11:17:51 Stskeeps: heya :) Feb 17 11:18:00 Stskeeps: back home finally :) Feb 17 11:18:13 condolences Feb 17 11:18:52 thresh: ty :P Feb 17 11:19:53 wazd: enjoy -25œC :P Feb 17 11:20:47 thresh: yeah, after +6 in Prague it's insane :) Feb 17 11:21:48 Stskeeps: really bad that I was too far away to meet you Feb 17 11:21:53 wazd: another time :) Feb 17 11:22:06 Stskeeps: sure :) You can come here maybe :D Feb 17 11:24:58 nice joke Feb 17 11:31:07 is there an equivalent to the android telephony api? stuff to add hooks when a call is received and so on? Feb 17 11:31:48 magnetic: ofono dbus api maybe Feb 17 11:32:05 or on higher level, Telepathy? Feb 17 11:33:34 cool, thx Feb 17 11:35:32 the amount of documentation on ofono.org is overwhelming: a block diagram :P Feb 17 11:36:05 yes, that is my thought too Feb 17 11:36:08 doc/ in source is ok Feb 17 11:38:19 hii friends Feb 17 11:39:13 ofono is only for actual phone call stuff though, right? This would mean you didn't get informed about for example SIP calls or Skype... Telepathy would let you do that :) Feb 17 11:39:34 ...if those hooks exist, of course, which... well, not knowing, i would be surprised if they didn't :) Feb 17 11:42:14 magnetic: ^ Feb 17 11:51:33 http://appdeveloper.intel.com/en-us/contest/developerchallenge Feb 17 11:51:37 nice prizes :) Feb 17 11:53:27 "Best custom app for France" - say what now!?? Feb 17 11:53:49 and why is the graphic a white flag? ;) Feb 17 11:53:57 france Feb 17 11:54:56 leinir: i'm only interested on phone calls at the moment. Looking at the doc it seems that the PropertyChanged signal is what i need Feb 17 12:01:30 3D phone, dual-core omap4, IPS stereoscopic display, 2-4x performance of N900, http://www.anandtech.com/show/4179/ti-omap4-and-lg-optimus-3d-tested Feb 17 12:01:38 good afternoon gentlemen Feb 17 12:15:20 notmart: Sooo... do you think it'd be possible to get something ready before the SF meego conf? ;) Feb 17 12:16:35 leinir: aaand, when it is? ;) Feb 17 12:17:02 End of May :) Feb 17 12:17:31 http://wiki.meego.com/MeeGo_Conference_Spring_2011 Feb 17 12:17:57 so, depends on the entity of the "something" but end of may, yeah, i see it nicely feasible :D Feb 17 12:19:10 i would love to see a community booth type thing from kde with a couple of devices with the plasma netbook, plasma tablet and plasma mobile UXes, that'd be pretty sweet ;) Feb 17 12:20:35 leinir: i'm fixing some rough edges right now so that plasma mobile cn really be used as a shell Feb 17 12:20:52 then i think we are also quite near to a booting image from the packaging side ;) Feb 17 12:21:31 Sweet ;) Feb 17 12:22:26 motorola droid2 with omap3640 @ 1ghz could make a fine meego-phone (if opensource drivers are avail) http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Motorola-Droid-2-Teardown/3502/1 Feb 17 12:22:38 hi leinir Feb 17 12:23:11 Heya The3211 :) Feb 17 12:23:48 pupnik: ...and if it didn't insisted to reflash any custom image put on it :p Feb 17 12:25:02 it does that? Feb 17 12:26:00 droid2 i think so, at least, most recent motorola android phones have this nasty habit Feb 17 12:26:43 that has of course already jailbroken, but shows the attitude of motorola about controlling their devices... Feb 17 12:28:46 notmart: are there any other attractive looking candidates for meego on the horizon? Feb 17 12:29:30 pupnik: that depends on how far away your horizon lies... jupiter or mars curvature? ;) Feb 17 12:30:31 hm Feb 17 12:30:47 mmaybe i should just play with the archos 7.0 and a huawei umts stick Feb 17 12:32:01 is there anyone for chat???? Feb 17 12:32:13 we're not here for chatting Feb 17 12:32:19 we're here for work Feb 17 12:32:54 is there anyone for chat??? Feb 17 12:33:00 no Feb 17 12:33:46 can you tell me what kind of work may be i can help you... @ thiago Feb 17 12:36:48 The3211: i could use a very low-power mp3 player that discards low-frequency bands and bypasses pulseaudio Feb 17 12:37:50 what the hell is that ?? @ pupnik Feb 17 12:38:04 perhaps deadbeef is a candidate, or something else arm-optimized Feb 17 12:38:19 huh? Feb 17 12:38:58 http://deadbeef.sourceforge.net/ Feb 17 12:46:46 any good handwriting recognizer software, preferably one that can handle hanzi/kanji? Feb 17 12:46:56 (google gave me cellwriter) Feb 17 12:51:35 sig^: how about finding me some FOSS kanji OCR Feb 17 12:54:19 that's actually what I'm kind of wondering... there are so many small-ish websites that offer javascript handwriting recognition Feb 17 12:54:36 it must be a cheap tech, but can it be just all proprietary? Feb 17 12:55:07 Also, it's not just bitmap OCR, it's more like "stroke recognition", comparing a set of strokes against a database Feb 17 12:55:23 of course, you have to be able to say which strokes are which... Feb 17 12:55:24 yes there's a big difference Feb 17 12:55:42 but it can also be just OCR, aiding in recognition Feb 17 12:56:09 hmm, it could be interesting to write one, again, if I had a time bubble where I could sit for a hundred years without time passing Feb 17 13:00:07 sig^: if you find such a kind of time bubble please let us know :p Feb 17 13:04:30 hmm, i think i'd rather avoid that one Feb 17 13:04:47 i mean, how can you be in a time bubble for 100 years if no time passes? :) Feb 17 13:08:47 ahiemstra: http://code.google.com/p/ocropus/ Feb 17 13:08:59 sorry Feb 17 13:09:03 sig^: http://code.google.com/p/ocropus/ Feb 17 13:46:05 Stskeeps: does sudo work for you on ircbot VM ? Feb 17 13:46:34 lbt: you didn't actually give me anywhere to ssh to from the jumpbox Feb 17 13:46:35 :) Feb 17 13:46:40 (i think) Feb 17 13:47:00 ah - I thought max did ... left/right hand Feb 17 13:52:47 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=613083 Feb 17 14:07:18 jarkko: amusing (hey, why not rm -fr / since it might have some junk under it :) Feb 17 16:21:53 notmart: sweet bit of news there :) Feb 17 16:25:21 leinir: indeed ;) Feb 17 17:35:01 from a burning platform, to a sinking platform <-- hehe Feb 17 17:48:04 does anybody know where can I find information about how to make qml apps look integrated in meego tablet UX? Feb 17 17:52:46 apol, even though the entire UX hasn't been open yet, you can surely look at the QML files that are installed per-app and "do what they do" Feb 17 17:53:01 hmm Feb 17 17:53:12 i guess there's no doc yet, then, no? Feb 17 17:53:31 tripzero: do you know where can i find them other than an installed system? (a repository for instance) Feb 17 17:56:55 apol, negative Feb 17 17:57:06 well Feb 17 17:57:07 thanks Feb 17 17:57:08 apol: Intel hasn't released it publicly. You'll have to grab their pre-alpha image and play around with it. Feb 17 17:58:19 ;/ ok Feb 17 17:58:20 thx! Feb 17 18:17:06 Stskeeps: ping Feb 17 19:17:48 RST38h: why sinking? Feb 17 19:21:44 DawnFoster: pong Feb 17 19:22:35 hey stskeeps - I'm starting to pull download data from server logs & want to make sure I have the n900 downloads captured correctly. Feb 17 19:22:59 right? Feb 17 19:23:05 Stskeeps: main download file would match: aw\.bz2 Feb 17 19:23:13 oops make that raw\.bz2 Feb 17 19:23:21 yep - kernel is just a sidenote Feb 17 19:23:51 with released images always in a /releases/ directory and developer builds somewhere in /builds/ directories Feb 17 19:24:28 (using awk to parse some huge files & want to make sure I'm matching the right things) Feb 17 19:24:35 +1 on using awk ;) Feb 17 19:24:43 Stskeeps: I <3 awk Feb 17 19:25:05 and yes, /releases/ and buils/ Feb 17 19:25:14 Stskeeps: I'll send you a file this afternoon (to you and other release managers) to do a reality check on the numbers Feb 17 19:25:17 k Feb 17 19:25:21 thanks!

Feb 17 19:31:24 :P Feb 17 19:31:39 Stskeeps: hmm Feb 17 19:31:42 things are good - just working on metrics Feb 17 19:31:43 double-agent ;) Feb 17 19:31:55 if there is a flight I want to be on it :) Feb 17 19:31:57 * sivang likes flying Feb 17 19:31:58 adding some new data Feb 17 19:32:04 DawnFoster: am I there ? :p Feb 17 19:33:23 sivang: probably in irc stats on speaking a lot ;p Feb 17 19:34:06 Stskeeps, where are the irc stats?

Muwahaha Feb 17 19:36:45 DawnFoster: heh Feb 17 19:38:59 DawnFoster always loved sivang best!! Feb 17 19:39:42 gabrbedd: I wish ;) Feb 17 19:39:43 ha! he was the first to ask :) Feb 17 19:42:53 DawnFoster: can I borrow $20? Feb 17 19:43:14 gabrbedd: ha, nice try :) Feb 17 19:43:21 :-) Feb 17 19:48:33 DawnFoster, so what's the most downloaded image these days? Feb 17 19:50:58 I just got an e-mail from Intel AppUp. Hard to read in pine with all the [1x1_clear.gif] and [isn_news_back_feature_bot3.gif] stuff.... but I think they're now accepting MeeGo apps in the store. Feb 17 19:51:28 I still don't see an AppUp app for MeeGo on the front page, yet... but that's good news. Feb 17 19:51:56 Ulf_: i'm having bets on the N900 one, but netbook pinetrail might be high on the list too Feb 17 19:52:10 Stskeeps, I'm guessing Pinetrail Feb 17 19:52:20 Ulf_: only analyzed released images: netbook image by far is the leader Feb 17 19:52:27 followed by N900 Feb 17 19:52:33 then IVI Feb 17 19:52:44 wow Feb 17 19:52:45 Oct - Jan data Feb 17 19:53:05 downloads from builds directories will be very different Feb 17 19:53:13 DawnFoster: splits on versions could be interesting Feb 17 19:53:32 n900 leads on builds downloads Feb 17 19:53:47 I'll send you both a spreadsheet this afternoon to do a reality check on Feb 17 19:53:56 ok, I have to drop off for a while Feb 17 19:54:05 cya Feb 17 19:54:14 Excluding source IPs in the Intel network range for wget as the user agent would be good Feb 17 19:54:15 X-Fade: do you have stats on tablets-dev / meego-codedrop.php ? Feb 17 19:56:41 Stskeeps: No. I might be able to get that, but that will take some time. Feb 17 19:59:28 X-Fade: ok, not a high priority Feb 17 20:13:10 can someone suggest me a gui irc client with minimal features to use instead of webirc?

Feb 17 20:40:13 http://developer.nvidia.com/tegra/downloads nice linux support Feb 17 20:40:41 Myrtti, I only mention it because I have to prevent myself from filling up my photostream with cat pictures. *g* Feb 17 20:40:48 hehe Feb 17 20:42:27 the cat hasn't ben with my mum for a week now and he did that for the first time now Feb 17 20:43:00 (mum has been in a hospital for a week and the cat has been at mums, now both of them are at my sisters) Feb 17 20:49:28 is it possible to disable myzone? Feb 17 20:52:17 pavlix: i don't think so Feb 17 20:52:55 ali1234: thanks Feb 17 20:58:57 pavlix: If you go into settings, you can disable a lot of the stuff that appears on your MyZone page. (I assume you're talking about the Netbook UX) Feb 17 21:01:00 gabrbedd: in the meantime, I retried my custom xsession Feb 17 21:01:06 gabrbedd: and it seems to work fine Feb 17 21:03:07 now I'm only missing my mouse cursor Feb 17 21:10:55 gabrbedd: then you'll just have a useless empty page... Feb 17 21:13:08 can some please note me to the pinetrail imeage? Feb 17 21:13:16 * sivang is dead tired and pained :) Feb 17 21:13:26 the tablet one?

For my workflows... all the MyZone stuff is already useless. Feb 17 21:13:48 * sivang kisses ali1234 Feb 17 21:13:51 (dunno if that has swype) Feb 17 21:14:01 it has teh elsa Feb 17 21:14:02 elsa Feb 17 21:14:04 esla Feb 17 21:14:05 bah Feb 17 21:14:08 so it has to be it Feb 17 21:22:27 ali1234, it has swype keyboard - see next page Feb 17 21:22:47 mikhas: you expect me to read all that click-though rubbish? Feb 17 21:22:50 gabrbedd: pintrail? Feb 17 21:23:03 that's why I am telling you Feb 17 21:23:07 heh :) Feb 17 21:23:11 it's even the default keyboard Feb 17 21:23:14 this image works on ideapad right? Feb 17 21:23:18 yup Feb 17 21:23:19 right Feb 17 21:23:29 it is a bit rough around the edges but fairly nice Feb 17 21:23:31 ok, will install it in a moment Feb 17 21:23:36 saw it on jukey's ideapad yesterday Feb 17 21:23:41 can't be worse than handset... can it? Feb 17 21:23:52 ali1234: yes Feb 17 21:23:55 feels better, but yeah, rough Feb 17 21:24:07 sivang: huh? Feb 17 21:24:08 mikhas: very nice *POC* Feb 17 21:24:08 pixelated thumbnails Feb 17 21:24:18 mikhas: I did not see them pixlated Feb 17 21:24:20 hmm Feb 17 21:24:30 but it would be nice if we could do soemthign about the resoltion Feb 17 21:24:32 sivang, time to get glasses? Feb 17 21:24:39 mikhas: they are already there Feb 17 21:24:46 mikhas: I will recheck Feb 17 21:24:47 obviously you got cheated then Feb 17 21:24:50 :-) Feb 17 21:24:52 heh Feb 17 21:25:13 might be the resolution in general, didnt have much time to play with it Feb 17 21:25:47 it's definitely just a showcase for now Feb 17 21:25:59 it's a standard mic image? just dd to usb? Feb 17 21:26:01 the application manager just lists fake apps Feb 17 21:26:21 ali1234: Tablet UX? Yes. Feb 17 21:27:15 anyways, it shows that the ideapad has a nice multitouch-capable display Feb 17 21:27:22 pinch zoom for example Feb 17 21:29:48 Stskeeps: does one have to get the -madde raw image if he wants to deploye qt creator apps/qml into it? Feb 17 21:30:05 mikhas, Feb 17 21:30:09 -mikhas, Feb 17 21:30:13 sorry, lol Feb 17 21:30:25 +mikhas Feb 17 21:31:03 * sivang lieks the channel quite on this time of the day. Feb 17 21:31:14 am I zero again? Feb 17 21:31:35 Stskeeps: ddi you see the video tutorials that I wanted to have like windows phone has? Feb 17 21:32:28 sivang: like screencasts? Feb 17 21:32:42 http://screencasts.ubuntu.com/ Feb 17 21:33:43 I used microsoft videos as an examples because they felt very dead easy to get started with, probably unfortunate timing, but I had no idea of what is coming upon us :) Feb 17 21:33:51 it is somehwere in the bug report. Feb 17 21:33:52 anyway Feb 17 21:34:08 i mean, you can probably look at how ubuntu does it Feb 17 21:34:31 http://developer.meego.com/guides/getting-started/meego-application-development-walkthrough Feb 17 21:34:41 Danny does a fair job as well. Feb 17 21:34:51 ali1234: it feels lilke I am talking to myself :) Feb 17 21:34:56 ali1234: when you say 'ubuntu, ubuntu' Feb 17 21:35:14 what do you mean? Feb 17 21:35:15 on this occasion, it would be nice to get some feedback about this videos Feb 17 21:35:24 well, it's asking me for a password... Feb 17 21:35:24 ali1234: never mind, I'm tried and with soem flu drugs Feb 17 21:35:26 :) Feb 17 21:35:33 ali1234: user:meego password:developer Feb 17 21:36:04 if you can add feedback onto the thread in the mailing list that'd be nice. Feb 17 21:36:47 well, first video is not very useful to me Feb 17 21:37:09 dneary_: have you created a bug report for the qml documentation not reflecting inheritence from video walkthrough? Feb 17 21:37:21 ali1234: feebdackn on the m, please Feb 17 21:37:24 ali1234: ml Feb 17 21:37:27 sivang, I don't think so Feb 17 21:37:28 which one? Feb 17 21:37:36 dneary_: okay, I'm going to do that now. Feb 17 21:37:41 sivang, The week's been a bit of a blur :) Feb 17 21:37:42 ali1234: are you following the mailing lists? Feb 17 21:37:47 some of them Feb 17 21:37:52 there's so many, i'm not sure Feb 17 21:37:52 dneary_: yes, but I insist going forward :) Feb 17 21:38:07 It definitely makes sense to list all properties the way you can list all methods of the object Feb 17 21:38:12 ali1234: one thing ubuntu taught me. Is to get along with 1k's of emails a day :) Feb 17 21:38:16 they keep adding more at a rate faster than i can subscribe to them Feb 17 21:38:21 sivang, Thanks for taking it on Feb 17 21:38:31 dneary_: sure, the thing is that if we had a clause saying look at the base class that would be good Feb 17 21:38:37 oh, i already get about 2k of emails from various mailing lists, only about 25% of it is meego Feb 17 21:38:39 dneary_: or is there already in the subclassed thing? Feb 17 21:39:00 ali1234: threads? :) Feb 17 21:39:03 anyways. Feb 17 21:39:06 I'll send you the link Feb 17 21:39:06 yes, gmail threads them nicely Feb 17 21:39:07 just a sec. Feb 17 21:39:19 * sivang loses a finger and goes to search mailing list archives. Feb 17 21:39:26 for soem reason, google has hard time indexing them Feb 17 21:39:31 if you just tell me which ML it was, that will do Feb 17 21:39:40 meego-community Feb 17 21:39:47 ok, i think i am on that one Feb 17 21:39:50 dneary_ kindly commented, I started Feb 17 21:40:32 ali1234: tell me what you think about the alleged documentation bug through the qml entity inheritence Feb 17 21:40:39 ugh, these videos only cover QML... do not want Feb 17 21:40:41 sivang, From what I saw, the NumberAnimation class inherits from a PropertyAnimation class, and the PropertyAnimation class includes a duration Feb 17 21:41:07 dneary_: and the docs for the sunbclass do not mention it is subclassed? Feb 17 21:41:32 * sivang thinks it did last time he checked Feb 17 21:41:58 * sivang does not pay attention to spelling right now, please bare with me :) Feb 17 21:42:41 if I can read what I've written then reading what you've written is easy Feb 17 21:42:45 sivang, The docs for NumberAnimation, here: http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7-snapshot/qml-numberanimation.html Feb 17 21:42:55 mention two properties: from & to Feb 17 21:43:17 dneary_: I see and propety do not Feb 17 21:43:31 bug in the qml docs genrator for most likely Feb 17 21:43:34 sivang, You can see "inherits from..." and you have a link "list of all members, including inherited" Feb 17 21:43:39 yep Feb 17 21:43:45 But you don't see duration anywhere in the page Feb 17 21:43:47 and from / to are not there Feb 17 21:44:07 hmm no Feb 17 21:44:45 hmm what? Feb 17 21:45:00 http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7-snapshot/qml-numberanimation-members.html Feb 17 21:45:07 dneary_: you need to follow the link Feb 17 21:45:11 "inherited" Feb 17 21:45:12 and tis there Feb 17 21:45:27 click duration and it takes you back to the parent class Feb 17 21:45:30 a bit odd, I agree Feb 17 21:45:40 but more of a usabitliy bug I guess Feb 17 21:45:53 Ah, yes, the properties are there Feb 17 21:45:55 can you see it? Feb 17 21:46:01 how do I descrive this.. Feb 17 21:46:31 So it's not a bug, so much as a suggestion to show how the documentation works :) Feb 17 21:46:35 yes Feb 17 21:46:42 usability enhacement Feb 17 21:46:48 but it needs to be comunicated Feb 17 21:46:52 and -sdk did not respond Feb 17 21:46:59 or did I cc them? Feb 17 21:47:10 Referring to the docs in the videos, and then using a property that you can't see from the docs, well, it's a small think, but I noticed it Feb 17 21:48:28 dneary_: if you noticed it, others would be confused at this. Feb 17 22:00:40 ali1234: thank you. Feb 17 22:01:47 ali1234: can you send me the link for the ml thread on the achive? Feb 17 22:03:25 http://lists.meego.com/pipermail/meego-community/2011-February/003441.html Feb 17 22:03:52 Venemo: ^^^ Feb 17 22:04:00 Venemo: thank you Feb 17 22:04:40 thank you guys, I wish more offered their opinion Feb 17 22:05:00 always happy to offer an opinion... you might not always like it though :) Feb 17 22:05:13 thx sivang Feb 17 22:09:04 ali1234: I happen to appreciate this because when I looked at this those things did not bother me so much, but if they bothered you, then surely more will get annoyed at them Feb 17 22:09:15 ali1234: a discussion is a key in community offerings I think Feb 17 22:10:09 Is there some proper way to download the Meego .img? The download from Amazon died at 468MB (and already did the same before when I had 150MB and made me start downloading from scratch :/). Feb 17 22:10:23 RainCT: amazon? Feb 17 22:10:27 RainCT: you mean intel? Feb 17 22:10:54 I'd like to "wget -c" but the URL on the website is single user (is there some other url?). I've tried continuing via torrent but there's no one seeding. Feb 17 22:11:04 sivang: Meego website, it sends me to amazon AWS Feb 17 22:11:43 no one is seeding the meego image? srsly? Feb 17 22:12:34 At least not the one I found on Google (searched for meego-netbook-ia32-chrome-1.1), I just got 2 people but it wouldn't download from them Feb 17 22:14:54 ali1234: Do you have some good link? Feb 17 22:15:15 no, sorry Feb 17 22:15:22 RainCT: Often, the problem is network dropouts (either on your end or your ISP's). One way to work around it is to... Feb 17 22:15:24 which image is it anyway? there's quite a few Feb 17 22:15:40 meego-netbook-ia32-chrome-1.1 Feb 17 22:15:41 RainCT: Adjust the TCP keepalive inteval on your system. Feb 17 22:15:45 RainCT: i would open a bug about it :) Feb 17 22:15:50 fuuaoffosb Feb 17 22:15:53 "meego image download cannot be restarted" Feb 17 22:15:55 sorry Feb 17 22:16:00 RainCT: You can do this temporarily like this: Feb 17 22:16:03 TCP keepalive is generally useless Feb 17 22:16:26 RainCT: as root... Feb 17 22:16:52 RainCT: echo 60 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_keepalive_time Feb 17 22:17:21 thiago_home: Generally, yes... but it's helped me out of a few tight spots. Feb 17 22:17:34 why do you want to *reduce* the interval? Feb 17 22:18:02 the meego download page redirects me to mirrors4.kernel.org, not AWS... Feb 17 22:18:26 sivang: about the meego videos: YES, THIS IS WHAT I WANTED TO SEE about MeeGo :) Feb 17 22:18:32 specifically: http://mirrors4.kernel.org/meego/releases/1.1/netbook/images/meego-netbook-ia32/meego-netbook-ia32-1.1.img Feb 17 22:18:35 thiago_home: um... to increase the frequency? :-p Feb 17 22:18:35 sivang: MeeGo needs more of these if it wants to win Feb 17 22:18:49 gabrbedd: to every minute? Feb 17 22:19:01 gabrbedd: I don't get what that would buy Feb 17 22:19:13 i presume the interval is the frequency at which keepalive packets are sent? Feb 17 22:19:17 Ah. So only the download with Chrome sucks :/ Feb 17 22:19:20 ali1234: the interval yes Feb 17 22:19:32 the *time* (the variable gabrbedd is trying) is the idle time before sending the first probe Feb 17 22:19:34 therefore reducing the interval would make you less likely to get timeouts Feb 17 22:19:46 not really Feb 17 22:19:52 you guys are mixing up the layers of the stack Feb 17 22:19:58 the timeout doesn't come from TCP Feb 17 22:21:02 thiago_home: I don't have a technical answer. The voo-doo idea is that during the long download, without any new activity, a router somewhere is "forgetting" your connection. Feb 17 22:21:21 OK, so I'll try downloading from kernel.org. Thanks. Feb 17 22:21:34 thiago_home: And when I reduce the keepalive interval... it seems to fix that. Feb 17 22:21:34 hurrah! someone from Intel has stepped up to have a go at Wifi Direct support in 1.3 :D:D bug 4729 Feb 17 22:21:36 if you're experience TCP disconnects, under default conditions, it would happen after 2 hours 12 minutes and 30 seconds Feb 17 22:21:37 ymmv. Feb 17 22:21:38 Bug https://bugs.meego.com/show_bug.cgi?id=4729 enh, Undecided, ---, prahlad.gokul, INDE, [FEA] WiFi Direct (WLAN P2P) Support Feb 17 22:21:54 what's wifi direct? Feb 17 22:22:01 gabrbedd: that could be, if you have a bad stateful NAT on the way Feb 17 22:22:02 encrypted ad-hoc Feb 17 22:22:09 there is no ad-hoc support in MeeGo at all atm Feb 17 22:22:28 doesn't everyone carry around a wireless router in the emergency kit bag? Feb 17 22:22:34 you cannot connect your meego device onto an ad-hoc network :( Wifi Direct is the secure version of it Feb 17 22:22:38 ali1234: i gave mine away, bad idea.. Feb 17 22:22:48 ali1234: had a nice hackable fonera Feb 17 22:22:53 thiago_home, with the multicast support coming in Qt4.8 Feb 17 22:22:56 DawnFoster: ping Feb 17 22:23:03 it might actually be usable for things :) Feb 17 22:23:10 lcuk: hmmm? Feb 17 22:23:29 http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-7 Feb 17 22:23:37 very early qtbug which needed fixing Feb 17 22:23:43 http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-8652 Feb 17 22:23:52 got fixed very recently for 4.8 branch Feb 17 22:23:53 h Feb 17 22:23:57 thiago_home: I seem to recall that in one instance... it was indeed the router in my house. But I think I've been in other situations where I don't know who was dropping the ball. Feb 17 22:24:03 lbt: hey Feb 17 22:24:17 lcuk: it's 7 because it was an old bug that wasn't closed when it was imported from the old DB Feb 17 22:24:23 Stskeeps: just emailed you that file to look at Feb 17 22:24:29 DawnFoster: k Feb 17 22:24:30 thiago_home, the bug number now is not important Feb 17 22:24:35 that was when it was originally raised Feb 17 22:24:41 gabrbedd: this can only happen with stateful routers and firewalls Feb 17 22:24:51 gabrbedd: routers weren't supposed to be stateful... Feb 17 22:25:31 any router that does NAT is stateful Feb 17 22:25:40 right Feb 17 22:25:43 and the firmware vendors *always* screw up the settings Feb 17 22:25:48 but they weren't supposed to do NAT Feb 17 22:25:55 DawnFoster, if you walk past the desk of prahlad.gokul by chance, could you high 5 him please Feb 17 22:25:58 they do it because people don't get enough IPs Feb 17 22:26:29 they do it because the overwhelming majority of people get 1 IP Feb 17 22:26:33 * lcuk cheered up immensely by such little things :) Feb 17 22:26:42 ali1234: which is not enough :-) Feb 17 22:26:52 Venemo: your feedback on the ml appreciated Feb 17 22:27:12 thiago_home: thanks! Feb 17 22:27:14 sivang: ok, will do Feb 17 22:28:25 good night all Feb 17 22:28:46 DawnFoster: i see no oddities, seems to align up nicely and match (sanity check with release dates of images) Feb 17 22:29:24 RainCT: So the conclusion is that if the keepalive adjustment fixes the problem... then you probably have a bad router on your local network. :-) Feb 17 22:29:26 Stskeeps: great, thanks for checking - whenever I have to do that much parsing of files, I like to reality check them Feb 17 22:29:53 DawnFoster: also good to have some numbers on the interest in our work in these times ;) Feb 17 22:30:38 Stskeeps: exactly - and I was blown away by the number of people downloading dev builds compared to releases Feb 17 22:30:46 DawnFoster: that one surprised me a bit too Feb 17 22:31:03 well, n900-devel vs n900 too Feb 17 22:31:12 well there's only been 2 releases, and there's a dev build every day Feb 17 22:31:45 Can I haz spotify on meego? Feb 17 22:31:46 ali1234: but it shows that we have a few active group of developers / enthusiasts who aren't afraid of dev builds. Feb 17 22:32:05 lolcat: sure you can, just ask spotify to build it or run the binary see if ti works Feb 17 22:32:08 it's great to see - I was just surprised by the numbers Feb 17 22:32:18 lolcat: they should have a qt client soemtime soon or already in beta Feb 17 22:32:22 IMO it shows that nobody cares about the official releases, cos they are out of date by the time they are released Feb 17 22:32:37 report a bug "that will be fixed in the next release" Feb 17 22:32:46 oh, ok, so why should i care about the released version then? Feb 17 22:33:43 sivang: They do! Feb 17 22:33:56 I am using the qt-wine as we speak Feb 17 22:34:21 Meego supports debian mirrors? Feb 17 22:34:25 "the" spotify client uses Qt on windows doesn't it?

Rumor has it people are so confused, they drive on the wrong side of the street Feb 17 23:59:57 that's probably just me as I do have a lassa fair approach to the side of the road I should be on Feb 18 00:01:07 the streets in the UK are so narrow it doesn't make much difference what side they drive on Feb 18 00:01:38 it's fine until you meet someone bigger Feb 18 00:01:56 worse thing I did was drive past a private school at finishing time Feb 18 00:02:25 its very dangerous to drive past a church on sundays Feb 18 00:02:39 what if you stop for a service? Feb 18 00:02:53 especially if the sermon was good, people know that God is On THeir Side Feb 18 00:03:13 I was being told about a job today Feb 18 00:03:27 "good with computer, knows html and css, preferably christian" Feb 18 00:03:51 maybe its an online bible job Feb 18 00:04:18 turns out the job is actually for the christian churches in the region Feb 18 00:05:02 there are prayer apps of all sorts Feb 18 00:05:34 some software companies use them instead of testing I think Feb 18 00:05:56 "dear lord, may my syntax be correct and valid"? Feb 18 00:06:14 DawnFoster: hi Feb 18 00:06:58 hi CosmoHill - just disconnecting and reconnecting with random vpn issues Feb 18 00:09:51 my issues are netgear and ISP related Feb 18 00:44:44 ls Feb 18 02:08:28 hmmmm.... is there a fix to make this tablet UX work properly at 1024x600 or whatever the ideapad has? Feb 18 02:08:57 the graphics are certainly nice and smooth Feb 18 02:09:13 and i prefer the new colour scheme to the one from last year's demo Feb 18 02:10:33 um.... how do you go back in menus? Feb 18 02:11:01 argh, the dreaded !! Feb 18 02:11:15 ? Feb 18 02:12:12 it means missing translation Feb 18 02:12:33 is this thing supposed to have a hardware back button or something? Feb 18 02:12:52 try the windows button, it does things Feb 18 02:13:04 oooh Feb 18 02:13:11 pity it's inaccessible when in tablet mode Feb 18 02:13:28 i forget what it does, but its useful Feb 18 02:13:40 well it got me out of the menu i was stuck in Feb 18 02:14:02 this wouldn't be half bad if i could make the fonts a bit smaller Feb 18 02:14:24 feels like it's for kids with with huge writing Feb 18 02:14:47 maybe its for a smaller display :) Feb 18 02:15:39 photo viewer is a bit whack Feb 18 02:16:04 seems like the gestures for "open menu" "pan image" and "next/previous" all conflict with each other Feb 18 02:17:00 i like this though Feb 18 02:18:31 its not even alpha, so one should expect some issues Feb 18 02:18:36 video player is messed up Feb 18 02:18:45 can't go back to the list of videos, it just crashes Feb 18 02:20:09 in some places the labels are actually too big for the buttons. haven't seem Qt do that since... well, the last time i used KDE Feb 18 02:21:02 its qml stuff I think Feb 18 02:21:12 it's still Qt in the end Feb 18 02:21:14 i haven't done anything real with qml Feb 18 02:21:19 same old font renderer :) Feb 18 02:21:28 yeah but with qml you can do more yourself Feb 18 02:21:42 no, you can't Feb 18 02:21:44 i dont want to design button shapes :) Feb 18 02:22:00 neither do i, that's why i do not want to use QML Feb 18 02:22:07 i would rather use QWidgets, then i don't have to Feb 18 02:22:16 designing button shapes is a task for artists, i'm an engineer Feb 18 02:22:26 i can't afford to hire an artist Feb 18 02:22:40 i want my buttons to look like the OS buttons please Feb 18 02:22:59 yes, let me have buttons that fit with the theme Feb 18 02:23:27 unfortunately, when the whole OS is made in QML... there is no "theme" Feb 18 02:23:44 it can't work that way Feb 18 02:23:46 and everything is going to end up looking different Feb 18 02:24:05 there must be a set of tools to make it look consistent Feb 18 02:24:11 you would think Feb 18 02:25:07 i think all this finger stuff is only for the next 5 years or so Feb 18 02:25:12 then it will go away Feb 18 02:25:19 i don't, actually Feb 18 02:25:22 and i like it Feb 18 02:25:30 input bandwidth is too low Feb 18 02:25:44 you know the new HTC tablet comes with a capacitive pen? they must have listened to all the people complaining about lack of stylus Feb 18 02:26:00 perhaps :) Feb 18 02:26:14 i can type faster on the ideapad swype keyboard than i can on the N900 hw keyboard Feb 18 02:26:23 what I mean is, there is only so much a human can "say" with 2 fingers Feb 18 02:26:24 and i'm not even using "swyping" Feb 18 02:26:34 i'm actually touchtyping on it with two hands Feb 18 02:26:43 maybe you have small hands :) Feb 18 02:26:50 maybe Feb 18 02:27:01 maybe humans will evolve with tiny hands :) Feb 18 02:27:14 but if you look how much input people provide, say on a bicycle Feb 18 02:27:30 with hands and feet, old decrepit people Feb 18 02:27:42 that's way more bandwidth than 2 fingers can do Feb 18 02:27:50 so you want a phone with handlebars? i don't get it Feb 18 02:28:12 i'm saying the amount of input you can provide with 2 fingers is not enough Feb 18 02:28:32 you need gestures, like pointing at things in a room Feb 18 02:28:52 and showing shapes like people do with their hands Feb 18 02:29:06 and much more we haven't though about Feb 18 02:29:30 ah, so you think something better will come along? ok fair enough, probably Feb 18 02:29:34 right Feb 18 02:29:37 i think it will take lnger than 5 years though Feb 18 02:29:54 maybe 6 or 7, but not 10 Feb 18 02:30:52 if all you need for hardware is cameras, it will come faster Feb 18 02:31:16 you need cameras that can float around the person on anti-gravity :) Feb 18 02:31:28 or else it isn't mobile Feb 18 02:31:36 a few cameras in the front of the device isn't enough Feb 18 02:32:26 i'm not sure what shape the device should be Feb 18 02:32:35 maybe a phone is the wrong shape Feb 18 02:34:06 we'll see Feb 18 02:38:38 the keyboard has been with us for a long time Feb 18 02:38:41 it just wont die Feb 18 02:38:46 its not going away any time soon Feb 18 02:38:57 even the next 10 years will still see the keyboard be king Feb 18 02:39:33 yes for lots of things, anything resembling "work" :) Feb 18 02:39:56 phones included Feb 18 02:40:04 people are familiar with a keyboard Feb 18 02:40:22 the fact that there are a myriad of other input methods for such devices out there Feb 18 02:40:27 tonens fo research projects Feb 18 02:40:33 right for people who do things with their phones other than entertainment stuff Feb 18 02:40:36 many "proving" that its more efficient to do it another way Feb 18 02:40:38 fact is Feb 18 02:40:46 humans are not willing to re-learn something Feb 18 02:40:51 they want the familiar Feb 18 02:41:01 a miniaturised qwerty keyboard is familiar Feb 18 02:41:05 even if its less efficient Feb 18 02:41:23 nothing else has taken off Feb 18 02:41:35 the closest was the 69 numberpad mumbo Feb 18 02:41:36 phones are too small to make decent portable computers Feb 18 02:41:54 buty as of the smartphone world - thats now taking a back-seat again to qwerty Feb 18 02:42:10 doesnt matter Feb 18 02:42:19 you can say that all you like Feb 18 02:42:24 can't get real work done on anything less than a 24" screen these days, what with all the graphical bling that all operating systems insist on having Feb 18 02:42:26 HUMANS - the general use3rbase wants familiar Feb 18 02:42:41 if you can get past the display size, then phones are ok Feb 18 02:42:42 the outliers and "nerds" may use weird inputs Feb 18 02:42:49 but the general populace wont Feb 18 02:42:56 projected display or folding display, something like that Feb 18 02:43:20 frankly what motorola have shown with atrix is pretty much where the future is imho Feb 18 02:43:26 folding display just makes me think of a guy trying to fold a map in wind and ending up screwing it into a big ball Feb 18 02:43:31 when out and about you have your mini phone and mini kbd Feb 18 02:43:37 u cant type serious amounts of text Feb 18 02:43:41 but u can get things done Feb 18 02:43:51 besides, won't the display have creases in it? that's gonna suck Feb 18 02:43:51 when u need to do serious work - use the laptop or desktop dock Feb 18 02:44:02 and you get a biggeror full sized keyboard and screen Feb 18 02:44:08 ali1234: ah details, you can get past that Feb 18 02:44:25 and projectors are not powerful enough Feb 18 02:44:36 well, not now Feb 18 02:44:39 either the picture is smaller than the phone screen, or you have to be in a dark room Feb 18 02:44:58 or the bulb inside it is generating enough heat to burn your hand Feb 18 02:44:58 i'm thinking about future technology, not what is sold now :) Feb 18 02:45:48 smart phones now are entertainment devices with rudimentary phone capacity Feb 18 02:45:50 well in the future we'll have magical computers that are controlled telepathically Feb 18 02:46:01 no need for interfaces, it will just be a small black cube Feb 18 02:46:12 ah, you're too conservative at heart :) Feb 18 02:46:29 projection onto the retina maybe Feb 18 02:47:05 i can see a computer where you just talk to it and tell it what you want happening inside 10 years Feb 18 02:47:15 and then another 10 years to productize it Feb 18 02:47:24 yes that too, except people don't know what they want Feb 18 02:47:39 sure they do Feb 18 02:47:47 "computer, what are my friends up to?" Feb 18 02:47:57 that's just the entertainment parts Feb 18 02:48:13 those you can do with low bandwidth input, sure Feb 18 02:48:21 speech isn't low bandwidth Feb 18 02:48:39 in terms of what information gets transferred it is Feb 18 02:48:46 i mean proper AI, not speech to text Feb 18 02:48:47 not in terms of processing Feb 18 02:48:56 you know, like on star trek Feb 18 02:49:03 (TNG) Feb 18 02:49:12 yeah but nobody has any clue how to do proper AI Feb 18 02:49:32 nobody has any idea how to do self-aware stuff Feb 18 02:51:37 i don't think that is a requirement Feb 18 02:51:55 true, for many things insect-like stuff is good enough Feb 18 02:52:08 we can do better than that Feb 18 02:52:17 well, not currently Feb 18 02:52:24 but its promising Feb 18 02:52:42 good AI doesn't have to be hard AI Feb 18 02:53:17 for mechanical things like user interface, no it doesn't Feb 18 02:53:43 i'm just saying its not "proper" AI Feb 18 02:54:17 well, by proper, i didn't mean hard AI, just good AI, good enough that it understands how to do anything you can do with a computer today, and do it for you Feb 18 02:54:39 right Feb 18 02:55:24 I think all this input stuff needs a theoretical foundation, something more formal than what we have now Feb 18 02:56:38 or maybe someone made it while I wasn't looking :) Feb 18 02:56:50 what would that be like? Feb 18 02:57:28 i'm not sure, something like formal languages, that can quantify things Feb 18 02:58:01 so you can compare input technologies Feb 18 02:58:14 like HID? Feb 18 02:58:25 the USB HID spec is insane Feb 18 02:58:41 it defines every kind of input device you can imagine, down to a full body montion capture suit Feb 18 02:58:58 no I mean more theoretical Feb 18 02:59:01 it has control bits for "left toe" for example Feb 18 02:59:18 "left little toe" Feb 18 02:59:44 more abstract **** ENDING LOGGING AT Fri Feb 18 02:59:57 2011
