**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sat Oct 20 02:59:56 2007 Oct 20 04:34:38 hmm... quiet today Oct 20 04:45:47 gta02 fthagn! Oct 20 04:48:42 pardon? Oct 20 04:51:55 i think he must have sneezed Oct 20 05:23:05 ljp I was also thinking things have been quiet Oct 20 06:13:00 * * OM Bug 950 has been created by mail(AT)mmontour.net Oct 20 06:13:01 * * Xfbdev / tslib segfault in ts_close() Oct 20 06:13:02 * * http://bugzilla.openmoko.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=950 Oct 20 06:59:14 anyone having problems with debian + flash.sh, i badly need to test a piece of code Oct 20 07:07:37 good morning Oct 20 08:43:20 hm, have you guys seen http://www.compulab.co.il/x270em/html/x270-em-datasheet.htm ? Oct 20 08:48:25 viq: put that on the wiki please Oct 20 08:49:12 eh, don't have an account yet Oct 20 08:49:58 has a buil-in graphics chip, seems like a waste to have two, are the devices details open? Oct 20 08:51:14 Implements 802.11b wireless connectivity standard. Oct 20 08:51:15 lame Oct 20 08:51:20 I don't know yet, I saw some "developer resources", let me look there Oct 20 08:51:35 802.11b doesn't even have decent encryption support Oct 20 08:51:37 http://www.compulab.co.il/x270em/html/x270-em-developer.py Oct 20 08:58:07 I need to run, so I'll leave you guys with the subject ;) Oct 20 08:58:33 bye :) Oct 20 09:14:18 doc|home: ssh tunnels :D Oct 20 09:14:38 sure, because that's convenient :) Oct 20 09:14:52 it would be if you did it automagically Oct 20 09:14:55 use keys etc Oct 20 09:15:02 I plan on setting up a vpn anyway, but still, it's a bit old nowadays Oct 20 09:15:22 i use tunnels all the time :) Oct 20 09:15:30 I used to too, but still, lame :) Oct 20 09:16:11 why lame? how do you know you're going to be able to use a vpn from any location? Oct 20 09:16:41 no, I meant the lack of 802.11g Oct 20 09:16:54 it's slower *and* less secure Oct 20 09:17:35 well, yes that's true... but it's probably quite old hardware Oct 20 09:17:44 it's like me offering you a pentium II when there are nice shiny new core 2 duos or whatever Oct 20 09:17:48 :) Oct 20 09:18:08 I suspect it's been available for some time, and engadget just spotted it Oct 20 09:18:14 yeah, probably Oct 20 09:18:25 the $122 doesn't even include the screen Oct 20 09:19:17 no, very basic for 122 - I suspect it'd be cheaper to buy something and put linux on it :) Oct 20 09:19:35 let's face it, it'd be an ugly mofo too.. Oct 20 09:19:38 yup Oct 20 09:19:48 big square geek case.. Oct 20 09:19:50 it's much bigger than the neo's board Oct 20 09:20:08 but hey, I think the neo's kind of ugly too :) Oct 20 09:20:37 I think the scren is too small.. dimensions not resolution Oct 20 09:20:41 screen Oct 20 09:21:06 anyho... must dash.. off to Rotterdam in a bit Oct 20 09:21:23 bye Oct 20 09:27:59 doc|home: what's b/g to do with security? the enhanced security is in i, independent of a/b/g Oct 20 09:28:37 Henryk: 802.11b only supports wep Oct 20 09:28:54 to the best of my knowledge Oct 20 09:29:07 [Citation Needed] Oct 20 09:29:18 this isn't wikipedia :) Oct 20 09:29:58 a, b and g are for the modulation, WEP and WPA are (as far as I can see) without a letter, and i is WPA2 Oct 20 09:30:21 does WPA work under 802.11b? Oct 20 09:30:26 yes Oct 20 09:30:28 I've been told it doesn't Oct 20 09:30:34 doc|home: it does Oct 20 09:30:45 doc|home: hit whoever spreads false info Oct 20 09:31:06 * doc|home goes looking for that person :) Oct 20 09:31:27 on Windoze a lot of manufacturers refused to upgrade drivers to work with WPA to make you buy new cards, this is how such rumours started Oct 20 09:32:05 hmmm, he just said now that this specific device (which has 802.11b only) doesn't (nintendo ds) Oct 20 09:32:19 yeah, ds is a pain in the ass for wireless Oct 20 09:32:25 ~lart nintendo Oct 20 09:32:26 * apt steals nintendo's mojo Oct 20 09:32:28 heh Oct 20 09:32:45 still though, 11mb vs 54mb :/ Oct 20 09:32:47 its the only device in my house that doesnt do WPA, and the only reason I can drop WEP Oct 20 09:32:57 cant Oct 20 09:33:01 * doc|home nods Oct 20 09:33:28 I wanted one with opera, but too much money for something I won't really use if the neo ever gets released and I have a better wireless device Oct 20 09:33:45 the nokia n810 looks nice but it's just for web access which is a bit pointless Oct 20 09:33:51 can get a laptop for less Oct 20 09:35:56 cant put a laptop in your pocket Oct 20 09:36:25 can't put a neo in my pocket either :) Oct 20 09:36:33 ljp: depends if you are Hagrid Oct 20 09:38:04 I'm considering an eee pc, then I remember the screen is a bit sucky, even for its size Oct 20 09:45:03 * doc|home zZzZZ Oct 20 09:54:44 moin da draussen Oct 20 09:58:13 ljp, depends, you can get big pockets or small laptops :) Oct 20 10:02:09 Soo, a recent image set with semi-working calls, is there such a thing? Time to switch back to OM from qtopia for my presentations Oct 20 10:05:47 mjr: a couple of days ago calls were fully working Oct 20 10:06:19 mjr: I dont have the image though as I had to bump my kernel rev, but I suspect what is in OE can probably still work Oct 20 10:09:05 * ljp wonders why anyone would want to switch :) Oct 20 10:09:45 it's nice to have openmoko in an openmoko presentation Oct 20 10:11:13 (also I was gonna do that anyway, just wanted to try the other thing out too) Oct 20 10:11:33 openmoko the gui... or openmoko the distribution? Oct 20 10:34:09 XorA|gone, anyway, a prebuilt would've been nice, but I suppose I'll put mokomakefile to work and try out whatever's getting spit out :] Oct 20 10:36:40 buildhost's latest seems to be from september :S Oct 20 10:39:11 qua Oct 20 10:39:17 usp Oct 20 10:39:33 guaqua: http://buildhost.openmoko.org/OM2007.2/tmp/deploy/glibc/images/neo1973/ Oct 20 10:39:53 lastest is from yesterday Oct 20 10:40:55 ummh Oct 20 10:40:59 okay Oct 20 10:53:06 madplay starts only via ssh - on the neo I always get /dev/dsp: Device or Resource busy - how comes that? Oct 20 10:53:37 or why does the terminal occupy the dev/dsp? Oct 20 10:55:41 gamin: OM makes use of PulseAudio whick is why you can't access the audio device through ALSA/OSS directly Oct 20 10:56:08 but why then can I start madplay when connected via ssh? Oct 20 10:56:48 Did you reboot inbetween? Oct 20 10:56:52 no Oct 20 10:57:01 Hmm, that's odd then Oct 20 10:58:18 I have wondered if the click sound is the culprit, but starting it with sleep 2 && madplay xyz.mp3 doesn't change anything Oct 20 10:58:48 ssh in and fuser /dev/dsp? Oct 20 10:59:14 returns nothing Oct 20 10:59:15 And does it work with a terminal session open on the phone, but ssh'd in Oct 20 10:59:25 yes Oct 20 10:59:42 nohup madplay? Oct 20 10:59:54 * SpeedEvil pokes around in the dark. Oct 20 10:59:56 gamin: The click actually is a good hint. Try clicking the touchscreen and starting madplay right after over SSH Oct 20 11:03:40 wow, the click sound keeps /dev/dsp open for 25seconds! Oct 20 11:04:00 so sleep 30 && madplay x.mp3 works! Oct 20 11:04:07 Maybe a little excessive. Oct 20 11:04:12 Indeed Oct 20 11:04:20 a little :) Oct 20 11:05:56 should I file a bug and if so against which component? Oct 20 11:06:12 Though I do wonder... /dev/dsp isn't needed for ALSA, right? If so then it should be possible for PulseAudio to keep /dev/dsp open for other programs while utilizing ALSA itself Oct 20 11:06:29 Unless it's ALSA that provides the OSS compatibility... Oct 20 11:06:33 isnt there something like pulsedsp Oct 20 11:06:48 which would make any program use pulse? Oct 20 11:07:58 http://bugzilla.openmoko.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=916 (someone wrote about it already) Oct 20 11:12:13 FeedRss doesn't allow me to add new feed. You? Oct 20 11:13:50 wow, xkbd is such a relief for the eyes ;) Oct 20 11:37:50 hmm nice vid of QTopia on the OM Oct 20 11:37:54 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4wSJ7Eb Oct 20 11:50:16 SpeedEvil: Are you wiki admin now btw? Oct 20 12:00:13 is there another rss reader for openmoko? Oct 20 12:01:54 vciaglia: Unfortunately not - and yeah, the feeds are hardcoded... hm Oct 20 12:02:08 http://svnweb.openmoko.org/trunk/src/target/OM-2007.2/applications/openmoko-feedreader2/src/feed-configuration.c?view=markup Oct 20 12:02:26 If you build your own images you can customize it Oct 20 12:02:53 how can i do it? Oct 20 12:03:15 Did you flash your own image with MokoMakefile? Oct 20 12:03:34 abraxa_: no... Oct 20 12:04:01 I can do it for you if you want me to and send you the binary Oct 20 12:04:23 nice :) Oct 20 12:04:31 Which feeds do you want? Oct 20 12:05:04 heh... i have a lot of feeds...but could me more useful if you can teach me the procedure Oct 20 12:05:36 Okay - it's a little quick'n'dirty-ish but at least it works ;) Oct 20 12:05:50 Do you have MokoMakefile set up? Oct 20 12:05:54 no.. Oct 20 12:06:39 the feeder reads only atom feeds? Oct 20 12:07:00 Hmm... that means it'll take you quite a while to build all feedreader depencies, I'm afraid (toolchain+X+webkit+...) Oct 20 12:07:57 abraxa_: heh.. i remember that sometimes ago the feeder did its works. And now? Oct 20 12:08:22 abraxa_: maybe 1 or 2 months ago. Oct 20 12:09:18 vciaglia: The feedreader uses libmrss so anything mRss can read it can read, too: http://www5.autistici.org/bakunin/libmrss/doc/ Oct 20 12:09:36 abraxa_: maybe you should create a configuration file to manually edit it and add new feeds Oct 20 12:09:44 vciaglia: If you have some patience and disk space (>10G) then you can use MokoMakefile - are you up for it? Oct 20 12:10:00 vciaglia: GConf will be used for it, yeah, just zecke didn't find the time yet it seems Oct 20 12:10:43 ok abraxa_ but i don't want to bore you. If the problem will be fixed shortly, i'll wait :) Oct 20 12:11:25 Nah, not boring me heh Oct 20 12:11:49 First you need to set up MokoMakefile: http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/MokoMakefile Oct 20 12:12:22 abraxa_: ok Oct 20 12:17:00 abraxa_: damn...the ubuntu's server are really slow from days. Take a cup of coffee :) Oct 20 12:17:19 hehe Oct 20 12:17:34 aloril: ping Oct 20 12:18:58 abraxa_: really too slow... can i send you the list of feeds? Oct 20 12:19:11 Of course, my offer still stands ;) Oct 20 12:19:36 abraxa_: wait...the server wake up :) Oct 20 12:20:39 I'd recommend I build a custom one for you that you can use while building with MokoMakefile - it'll take 8+ hours Oct 20 12:21:05 abraxa_: ok, i'm building the file :P Oct 20 12:21:14 oki Oct 20 12:21:25 abraxa_: but tomorrow i'll try Oct 20 12:48:30 is there any planning about a "tap and hold" feature? Oct 20 12:48:50 or is that regarded as useless? Oct 20 12:50:10 "tap and hold"? Oct 20 12:51:30 i guess the qtopia has it and well windows mobile had it last time i tried (years ago) - it is kind of right click, when tapping and holding the stylo Oct 20 12:51:56 Ahh Oct 20 12:51:57 Hm Oct 20 12:52:35 otoh gpe has this nifty toolbar applet for left/right/middle click Oct 20 13:09:31 hi Oct 20 14:16:43 hi all! Oct 20 14:17:03 hi Oct 20 14:17:18 As usual, I come with problem... Oct 20 14:17:39 I've compiled succesfully OM, but can't build image Oct 20 14:18:04 I get /home/openmoko/om/build/tmp/work/fic-gta01-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/openmoko-devel-image-1.0-r0/temp/run.image_cmd.9537: line 417: mkfs.jffs2: command not found Oct 20 14:18:54 anybody have any idea how to fix it? Oct 20 14:19:38 hmm Oct 20 14:19:54 mkutils-native should've been built during the build Oct 20 14:20:13 mickey|tw, shall I rebuild them? Oct 20 14:20:31 Orzech_: Have you disabled any dependancies in some bb files? Oct 20 14:20:40 CM, nope Oct 20 14:20:53 CM, fresh make setup and devel image Oct 20 14:21:10 I did one yesterday and that worked, haven't tried yet today Oct 20 14:21:26 CM, i began building yesterday Oct 20 14:22:05 CM, but failed with fakekey error or such, so I made make update devel image blabla today and so it ends Oct 20 14:22:48 NOTE: build 200710201256: completed Oct 20 14:24:15 fgau, ok, so I will rebuild mkutils Oct 20 14:24:51 yay, i got my old nick back :) hello everyone ;-) Oct 20 14:25:07 mickey|tw, mkutils-native is the name of package, right? Oct 20 14:25:31 Orzech_: Using the makefile, make rebuild-package-mkutils-native should work Oct 20 14:25:38 sorry Oct 20 14:25:41 actually Oct 20 14:25:43 mtdutils-native Oct 20 14:26:01 mtd-utils-native, to be 100% correct Oct 20 14:26:02 mickey|tw, ok, no problem Oct 20 14:29:12 mickey|tw, ok, so I did make clean-package-mdt-util-native and then make openmoko-devel-image. Error still is there. Oct 20 14:33:15 is it possible to surf the web with neo1973? if so, what browser does it use? and does it support flash? Oct 20 14:33:26 yes. Oct 20 14:33:33 In flux. Oct 20 14:33:35 No. Oct 20 14:33:50 There is no official flash binary that will work. Oct 20 14:33:58 This means that gnuash is the best option. Oct 20 14:34:27 gnuash? Oct 20 14:34:31 gnash? Oct 20 14:34:41 * SpeedEvil forgets the name of the OS flash project Oct 20 14:34:44 goulash? Oct 20 14:35:06 It's gnash Oct 20 14:35:06 not possible to run with http://www.adobe.com/products/flashlite/ ? Oct 20 14:35:16 * CM uses swfdec Oct 20 14:35:24 Don't know if that works on arm though Oct 20 14:35:46 i noticed that Chumby (based on ARM9, fully open source thingie) runs Flash Lite [ http://www.chumby.com/ ] Oct 20 14:36:11 The Nokia NXX0 do too or? Oct 20 14:36:27 i dont know about Nokia phones Oct 20 14:36:39 I mean the N800 and N810 Oct 20 14:36:55 SpeedEvil, is flux a browser? Oct 20 14:37:02 can't find any info on it Oct 20 14:37:08 krLun: don't know. Oct 20 14:37:22 krLun: I've not been keeping up on the browser as much as I should. Oct 20 14:37:39 I've been getting into the bad habit of just running FF, over by car-laptop. Oct 20 14:37:42 so i guess its out of the question to run like firefox? Oct 20 14:37:45 I've been getting into the bad habit of just running FF, over my car-laptop. Oct 20 14:37:53 using BT to display Oct 20 14:38:09 FF probably will run - for some descriptions of run. Maybe even acceptably. Oct 20 14:38:22 Till recently I have run FF (1.5) on a 128M machine. Oct 20 14:38:24 krLun: "in flux" meaning "it's a work in progress, so nothing definite yet" Oct 20 14:38:44 oh Oct 20 14:38:55 Oh - sorry for causing confusion. Oct 20 14:39:06 sorry, im not a native english speaker :) Oct 20 14:39:24 Basically, there are a number of possible browsers, and if anyone comes up with another, it'll be great. Oct 20 14:39:32 dang - I thought in flux meant it would have a built in flux capacitor :( Oct 20 14:39:55 krLun: The web browser OpenMoko uses is openmoko-browser2 (and nothing to be sorry for ;) Oct 20 14:40:31 ScaredyCat: Well, it *is* the Neo 1973 after all, so time travelling must be possible somehow ;) Oct 20 14:40:57 Just... I'm not too sure if I wanna go back to '73. Oct 20 14:40:59 The flux capacitor driver is not released though. Oct 20 14:41:00 maybe it'll be in the "neo 1988 " Oct 20 14:41:15 abraxa_: i'm not sure i want to know what it'd be like, being minus 2 years old Oct 20 14:41:21 And getting the required power over USB is hard. Oct 20 14:41:25 heh Oct 20 14:42:37 * ScaredyCat mods usb 3.0 - 1.21 jiggawatts Oct 20 14:42:41 * cjb_ie giggles at memtest86 results for an old laptop off freecycle: L1 cache: 16K, 81MB/s; Memory: 48M, 107MB/s Oct 20 14:42:59 mickey|tw, However, I have mkfs.jffs2 in om/build/tmp/work/i686-linux/mtd-utils-native-1.0.0-r0/mtd-utils-1.0.0/mkfs Oct 20 14:43:47 107M - that'd be what - 32 bit wide @ 32Mhz? Oct 20 14:43:52 Pentium? Oct 20 14:44:40 SpeedEvil: yup... i'm giggling at the memory apparently being faster than the cache. Oct 20 14:45:14 I think 486sx/33 is the slowest lappy I have. Oct 20 14:45:20 I haven't booted it for a while. Oct 20 14:45:42 memtest86 tells me this one is a pentium-mmx 266MHz Oct 20 14:45:55 it'll do fine for GPS logging in the car Oct 20 14:46:21 stick it under the passenger seat ors Oct 20 14:46:49 it even has a real serial port with wake on ring, so with a little trickery i could make it boot when i start the car. Oct 20 14:48:36 I recommend a CF-IDE adaptor and a 4G CF card. Oct 20 14:49:06 Just as HDs in places where stuff can condense is bad. Oct 20 14:50:05 Pity nobody seems to make a CF-SD adaptor. Oct 20 14:52:22 never mind condensation, it'd be bumps and vibration i'd worry about Oct 20 14:52:55 given that i was thinking of sticking it on the floor under the passenger seat Oct 20 14:53:37 XorA|gone: ping Oct 20 14:59:21 ok, so problem mkfs.jffs2 command not found was conencted with PATH var Oct 20 15:02:42 I exported it manually and now this command is seen, but I get "Unknown compressor name lzo" Oct 20 15:02:48 anybody can help? Oct 20 15:06:22 SpeedEvil: you mean like http://www.amazon.com/Compact-Flash-Secure-Digital-Adapter/dp/B000165CBA ? Oct 20 15:14:08 Orzech_: This might help: http://projects.linuxtogo.org/pipermail/openembedded-devel/2007-March/001570.html Oct 20 15:15:27 Orzech_: Also, I have a lib called lzo installed on my desktop Oct 20 15:15:43 ok Oct 20 15:15:54 CM: * ok ;) Oct 20 15:16:39 Hehe Oct 20 15:17:17 CM: yes, I have lzo installed Oct 20 15:17:55 I've never heard anyone here having that problem before Oct 20 15:18:32 CM: well, it's not the first time, when I have strange problem :/ Oct 20 15:19:48 CM: however, so me problems appear even, when I didn't make any change to my desktop Oct 20 15:20:03 CM: * most problems Oct 20 15:20:44 CM: thank You for help, I'll try tomorrow and tell you results :) Oct 20 15:20:48 Peace. Oct 20 15:43:26 hi there. Oct 20 17:13:46 so a question,what actually prevents any mobile from being flashed with the openmoko os? Oct 20 17:14:09 SrRaven: Nothing, as long as it boots a linux kernel Oct 20 17:14:15 ur device would need to have the proper roms Oct 20 17:14:25 and u would need to have all the drivers Oct 20 17:14:43 buh Oct 20 17:17:46 wohoo Motorola A1200E does OM Oct 20 17:18:30 *sigh* having a build cow Oct 20 17:18:35 :) Oct 20 17:19:07 anyone having a recent kernel/root image pair, I'd like to show this thing off tomorrow at a presentation :] Oct 20 17:19:29 the a1200e at least is pretty Oct 20 17:20:31 mjr: How recent? Oct 20 17:20:53 preferrably so recent that, as I hear, calls would somewhat work Oct 20 17:21:07 mjr: I have from the 17th, and it worked to call with for me: http://claesmogren.com/~cm/neo/2007.2/ Oct 20 17:21:46 CM, ack, thanks Oct 20 17:21:47 mjr: I have later images too, but I haven't tried them Oct 20 17:22:15 seems mkfs.jffs2 didn't have -x lzo and zlib didn't cut it Oct 20 17:22:37 There's some more who have used those images too and called with them, so it's not just on my neo Oct 20 17:22:56 *nod* Oct 20 17:24:39 fllllash Oct 20 17:26:07 * mickey|tw notices gpe-gallery and gpe-sketchbook are almost usable on the Neo Oct 20 17:26:20 just needs a couple of improvements Oct 20 17:26:26 might be nice beginner's tasks Oct 20 17:26:41 merely a question of how to inject the changes Oct 20 17:27:32 Could make a good step by step guide too if it's documented Oct 20 17:28:03 like, how to improve regular gtk programs for a phone? Oct 20 17:28:12 or, the OpenMoko framework, fwiw Oct 20 17:28:38 ? Oct 20 17:29:02 Yes, something like that Oct 20 17:34:46 I would like get a "Nokia 810" with GSM/3G Oct 20 17:40:22 davi: me too, but the answer seems to be wimax which is not deployed anywhere Oct 20 17:41:04 getting the EABI gps driver may be a lower priority since gta02 won't use it :( Oct 20 17:41:51 which is not that much of a problem actually, as long as the oabi works w/ the wrapper Oct 20 17:42:55 As long as. It's a bit more resources again, but I shan't complain much as long as we get it. Oct 20 17:43:06 has anyone documented how to make the chroot wrapper? Oct 20 17:43:30 (as I've said, the gta01 will go to the wife, and she wants gps ;) Oct 20 17:44:18 bmidgley: I think Pavel has some on his userpage or in the wiki Oct 20 17:44:29 mjr: Did the images work ok for you? Oct 20 17:47:34 at least booted, don't have sim in it right now Oct 20 17:47:55 Ok Oct 20 17:48:01 -> at least I can show it around a bit Oct 20 17:48:16 bmidgley, The N810 has Skype and other similar VoIP software, to be used via normal WiFi. WiMAX would be better, but WiFi seams to fit. Oct 20 17:50:35 there's a polish openmoko wiki? (smirk) Oct 20 17:50:38 what happened with the gps stuff, I thought it was "any day now" Oct 20 17:50:42 with the chroot docs http://www.openmoko.org.pl/node/55 Oct 20 17:51:34 more of a blog, but it's a great recipe for hiding something Oct 20 17:53:58 ScaredyCat: pending someone writing an EULA... legal stuff always takes ages Oct 20 17:55:05 we could just shoot all the worlds lawyers and speed up proceses Oct 20 17:56:21 :( Oct 20 17:56:22 indeed Oct 20 17:56:29 well, that would be gogod Oct 20 17:56:36 it's that old joke Oct 20 17:56:54 what do you call 200 lawyers at the bottom of the sea? Oct 20 17:57:00 a good start. Oct 20 17:57:04 heh Oct 20 17:57:06 fun Oct 20 17:59:19 how is taiwan mickey|tw ? better weather this time? Oct 20 17:59:34 much better Oct 20 17:59:41 twenty-something degree and reasonable humidity Oct 20 17:59:51 less air condition everywhere Oct 20 18:00:05 and being here the 2nd time puts less stress on me Oct 20 18:00:11 since most is known Oct 20 18:00:20 :) good to hear... Oct 20 18:00:23 so i can concentrate on the work Oct 20 18:00:30 just watch out for ninjas ;) Oct 20 18:00:34 hehehe Oct 20 18:00:39 they might be videoing you Oct 20 18:00:42 :D Oct 20 18:00:55 i'm afraid not this time... new management might qualify this as "time-consuming and wasted" Oct 20 18:00:57 *cough* Oct 20 18:01:09 oops, did i say that? Oct 20 18:01:11 new management? Oct 20 18:01:57 sean mentioned a reorg a while back Oct 20 18:02:00 well... restructuration of steering team Oct 20 18:02:05 new command chains... Oct 20 18:02:13 surely getting a developer to sort an office move is more 'wasted time' ..? Oct 20 18:02:27 ahh ok. Oct 20 18:02:57 well, so long as they don't get in your way it's good :) Oct 20 18:03:10 this is where the problem starts.... ;) Oct 20 18:03:24 well, lets see :) Oct 20 18:03:32 * mickey|tw looking forward to next week Oct 20 18:03:49 mickey|tw normally mickey|europe? Oct 20 18:03:50 back home? Oct 20 18:04:20 bmidgley: right Oct 20 18:04:35 ScaredyCat: no no, next week (tomorrow, actually) the steering discussions get started Oct 20 18:04:42 back home on 30th of Oct. Oct 20 18:04:52 ahhh .. Oct 20 18:05:15 * ScaredyCat has a 600 km drive tomorrow :( Oct 20 18:05:19 eeks Oct 20 18:05:20 nasty Oct 20 18:05:21 ee Oct 20 18:05:41 not so bad, at that time of night there's not much traffic.. Oct 20 18:05:57 don't fancy taking the train? Oct 20 18:05:59 ScaredyCat: If the road is good it's ok Oct 20 18:06:08 when I saw gllin was 1.7MB I though for sure that meant it was statically linked Oct 20 18:06:16 too bad Oct 20 18:06:18 * CM has 1000+ km to drive to visit the parents Oct 20 18:06:26 well, Belgian roads get crappy, but you can 'floor it' there :) Oct 20 18:07:18 1000mk is a lot CM Oct 20 18:07:22 km Oct 20 18:07:29 how often do you visit? Oct 20 18:07:42 'never' doens't count... you bad son :) Oct 20 18:08:20 mickey|tw: isn't it a little late to start steering the project now? Oct 20 18:08:22 ;) Oct 20 18:10:18 ScaredyCat: Maybe 3 times a year.. :D Oct 20 18:10:43 ScaredyCat: But my girlfriend lives in Stockholm, and that's about 500km away, and I've been driving there almost every other weekend.. Oct 20 18:11:23 yeah, but your motives aren't pure - are they :) Oct 20 18:11:25 mickey|tw: Just curious, what's at the top of your todo-list for openmoko right now? :) Oct 20 18:13:18 offhand Oct 20 18:13:29 snapshot release with working toolchain Oct 20 18:13:37 oabi-gllin release Oct 20 18:13:50 dbus service level architecture Oct 20 18:14:03 Sounds very nice :) Oct 20 18:14:15 and then ten million tiny issues Oct 20 18:14:42 ScaredyCat: you would think so ;) no, seriously, it's some changes in important positions that can mean more focus but also more friction Oct 20 18:15:50 i would love to get back to UI and toolkit stuff Oct 20 18:16:02 but it looks like that has to wait some more months Oct 20 18:16:04 * Stephmw comforts mickey|tw Oct 20 18:16:44 i'm glad XorA|gone is now on board to releave me from day-to-day OE issues Oct 20 18:16:49 release, even Oct 20 18:17:27 I have a question that I couldn't find an answer to in the wiki Oct 20 18:17:48 go ahead... you have 2 minutes until i pass out Oct 20 18:17:59 I've downloaded and flashed the kernal and rootfs Oct 20 18:18:21 But I keep seeing this modules.tgz thing Oct 20 18:18:28 What can I do with that? Oct 20 18:18:55 just ignore it. it's a tarball with all kernel modules and not just the few ones that are installed in your rootfs Oct 20 18:19:07 you rootfs won't be big enough Oct 20 18:19:16 but it may assist when you want to update the kernel Oct 20 18:19:21 gpe-gallery is off by one pixel in full screen mode, isn't it? Oct 20 18:19:23 OK. THanks Oct 20 18:19:26 or want to play with some kernel modules Oct 20 18:19:34 gamin: could be, yeah Oct 20 18:19:47 g'night (02:19 here) Oct 20 18:20:32 Godzilla! Oct 20 18:20:35 * CM is off to a party Oct 20 18:20:38 nite Oct 20 18:21:01 ScaredyCat: Man it's hard work trying to be social and still maintain your Nerd God status! :-P Oct 20 18:21:26 irc from a bar? Oct 20 18:21:33 like roh :p Oct 20 18:22:03 lol CM Oct 20 18:22:16 you can't be a nerd god AND go to parties Oct 20 18:22:24 one or the other Oct 20 18:22:38 sure you can. that's what the god part is about Oct 20 18:22:47 otherwise you're just a grand high wizard or something Oct 20 18:25:59 check out the hack party on upcoming.org Oct 20 18:26:16 maybe a combination or some kind of nerdiness and parties Oct 20 18:26:54 Question, trying to go through the USB_Networking page, and using a macosx Oct 20 18:27:13 I am at the ifconfig usb0 192.168.0.200 netmask 255.255.255.0 line on the deskto Oct 20 18:27:45 however, the message is interface usb0 does not exist, how do I figure out what is the name of the usb that the neo is connected to? Oct 20 18:27:46 like people hacking with hot naked chicks walking around? Oct 20 18:28:50 cb22: Anyone who does that cannot be a man. Hot naked chicks walking around? Screw hacking! Oct 20 18:29:15 afoo: Is there ifconfig on OSX? Oct 20 18:29:21 abraxa_, well, i for one agree with that... but i'm sure there are some people here who would take the hacking :p Oct 20 18:29:44 yes Oct 20 18:30:03 abraxa_: bsd back-end on macosx Oct 20 18:30:20 afoo: Ah sorry, I have zero experience with that :) Oct 20 18:30:58 abraxa_: a lot I have to learn about unix commands Oct 20 18:30:58 afoo, try cdce0 Oct 20 18:31:05 thats what it is on freebsd Oct 20 18:31:07 or Oct 20 18:31:10 try ifconfig -l Oct 20 18:31:16 and paste here, should only be one line Oct 20 18:31:28 lo0 gif0 stf0 en0 en1 wlt1 fw0 en21 Oct 20 18:32:06 is that with your neo plugged in? Oct 20 18:32:19 cb22: yes, with the neo plugged in and turned on Oct 20 18:32:28 ok, now unplug it and rerun the command Oct 20 18:32:48 cb22: lo0 gif0 stf0 en0 en1 wlt1 fw0 Oct 20 18:32:54 ah... I see, so it is en21 Oct 20 18:32:59 looks like it Oct 20 18:33:11 what voltage could a phone's vibrator possibly run at? Oct 20 18:33:18 cb22: great, thanks, learned a little more today Oct 20 18:33:26 no problem :) Oct 20 18:34:29 Yay, x11vnc was packaged. I can shoot the Neo screen onto a screen from my lappie :) Oct 20 19:24:17 ello all Oct 20 19:57:39 I forgot the command for switching the virbration on. Was something like echo 1 > /proc/... does anbpdy knows the complete path ? Oct 20 20:01:46 matsimoto: I don't remember it too, but it's somewhere in /sys Oct 20 20:02:50 cesarb_: thanx, I will take a look at sys may be I find it by its name Oct 20 20:03:28 matsimoto: google "openmoko vibrator /sys" Oct 20 20:08:08 cesarb_: just for your records: echo 255 > /sys/class/leds/gta01\:vibrator/brightness is the path ... fresh google ;) thanx again. Oct 20 20:11:29 Hmm... webkit fails to compile for lots of peeps still and yet no one filed a bug report in OE or OM bugzilla? Am I just blind or is that really so? Oct 20 20:22:06 abraxa_: I deleted everything and rebuilded the whole tree. No errors for me. Just a few day ago. Oct 20 20:23:27 That really reminds me of my Comp Sci teacher back in middle school. Oct 20 20:24:05 No matter what was wrong with the computer - the solution always was to format the hard disk, re-install windows, all drivers and all applications. Oct 20 20:24:13 Then it was fixed. Or so he hoped. Oct 20 20:24:50 abraxa_: hmm, someone here points out that he has to clean rebuild icu ... but this does not worked for me. Oct 20 20:46:53 hello all Oct 20 21:10:28 * mjr just realized something obvious, mostly useless but curious. GTA-02 is a USB wifi stick. Oct 20 21:15:26 mjr: usb bluetooth adapter too Oct 20 21:17:06 No. Oct 20 21:17:20 The wifi adaptor is connected over the internal SD bus. Oct 20 21:17:37 The memory card is now connected to the video chip Oct 20 21:18:08 SpeedEvil, i think they meant you could use it as a wireless / bluetooth pass through for your PC Oct 20 21:19:02 its pretty darn flexable Oct 20 21:19:12 * rwhitby just set up bluetooth coverage for his hotel room using an NSLU2 and a USB bluetooth dongle ... Oct 20 21:19:33 the NSLU2 is also acting as a hardware firewall for the hotel ethernet connection Oct 20 21:19:34 * cesarb_ wonders what rwhitby doesn't do with his NSLUs Oct 20 21:20:56 on this trip, it is firewall, bluetooth access point, Treo650 charger, ipod charger, neo charger, neo usbnet router, ... Oct 20 21:21:07 rwhitby: I'm sure he'll turn them into a fission power plant one day, too ;) Oct 20 21:21:18 * abraxa_ meant cesarb Oct 20 21:22:01 just have to get this zydas usb wifi stick working as an AP and then I can have wireless access for my n800 via the nslu2 too. Oct 20 21:22:31 (the hotel has only wired ethernet, no wireless, which means I can't do voip with the n800) Oct 20 21:45:16 * ScaredyCat slaps rwhitby for not taking an access point Oct 20 21:47:21 * mstevens waves Oct 20 21:55:18 rwhitby: isn' Oct 20 21:55:37 rwhitby: isn't nslu2 just a OS which hardware are you running it on? Oct 20 21:58:40 BryceLeo: http://www.linksys.com/servlet/Satellite?c=L_Product_C2&childpagename=US%2FLayout&cid=1118334819312&pagename=Linksys%2FCommon%2FVisitorWrapper Oct 20 22:01:24 oh wow, hmm, i hath failed with google Oct 20 22:01:57 thanks for the link Oct 20 22:02:19 ahh ok, now i know why i didn't figure that out, Oct 20 22:02:49 Yup, and rwhitby runs nslu2-linux.org - it's his mobile swiss knife for IT now ;) Oct 20 22:03:28 (mine, too, actually...) Oct 20 22:04:44 haha yes i was able to find the page and have been clicking around about the hardware and whatnot, but the nslu hardware has no link for info about it so my eyes glossed over it Oct 20 22:04:45 it looks really cool Oct 20 22:04:46 that's for sure Oct 20 23:09:02 rwhitby: I just found something (http://wiki.darcs.net/DarcsWiki/Tailor) which claims to be able to convert from mtn to git. Just FYI. Oct 20 23:09:26 * cesarb asks everyone to avoid another pointless SCM discussion, which seems to happen every time someone mentions "mtn" Oct 20 23:09:35 Hehe Oct 20 23:10:41 did someone say bzr? Oct 20 23:11:08 lol yes aevin i just heard that as well Oct 20 23:11:09 (bring your own favorite) Oct 20 23:11:23 i love git but re-name tracking is something i require Oct 20 23:11:54 BryceLeo: just use git-svn: the worst of both worlds! Oct 20 23:11:59 (sorry, couldn't resist) Oct 20 23:12:43 lmao...git-svn? linus must have wanted to die a little Oct 20 23:13:46 BryceLeo: actually, it's pretty cool if you want to have the full svn revision history (plus checked-out HEAD) in a format which uses less disk space than a svn working copy Oct 20 23:14:01 cesarb: Actually even the OE folks consider changing the SCM. http://www.openembedded.org/oedem2007.minutes has some hints. Oct 20 23:14:13 BryceLeo: as long as you are willing to pay the price, which is a multi-hour download (slower than most svn operations) Oct 20 23:14:34 cesarb: yes but then don't you lose the whole distributed nature of git? Oct 20 23:14:40 BryceLeo: avoid git-svnimport: it's even slower! Oct 20 23:14:53 hahaha Oct 20 23:14:56 well that's certainly out of the choice then Oct 20 23:15:48 BryceLeo: if you want to use git-svn for commiting back to svn, you do lose part of git's distributed nature... but if all you want is a read-only copy (or a git-using fork), you don't lose anything (other than your time) Oct 20 23:16:10 abraxa_: Btw, usualy it's qmake2-native that makes webkit-gtk fail Oct 20 23:16:30 CM: Thanks for the hint, I'll try that Oct 20 23:16:55 My general tip so far has been to make people run: bitbake -c rebuild qmake2-native icu; bitbake -c rebuild webkit-gtk Oct 20 23:17:07 cesarb: ahh ok, that's pretty interesting. I love distributed systems, my friend steve and i, have a pretty irregular alternatinon for who's bzr branch is the main dev one Oct 20 23:18:11 and also we have two good working copies instead of all our eggs in one basket Oct 20 23:19:21 it's obvoiusly not perfect but it works for us Oct 20 23:20:22 ah, so you *did* actually hear it -- it wasn't just me, then. Oct 20 23:20:50 I have noticed that more and more projects are considering distributed source tracking... for instance, just found http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/kde-scm-interest/ Oct 20 23:22:34 openmoko-mediaplayer stopped working. In the build from the 17th it worked. Oct 20 23:25:25 cesarb: hmmm, that's going to be a heck of a discussion Oct 20 23:25:36 didn't kde have that big switch from cvs to svn a few years ago? Oct 20 23:25:36 gamin: Bug abraxa_ about it ;) Oct 20 23:26:19 BryceLeo: see http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/kde-scm-interest/2007-September/000003.html which mentions both ;-) Oct 20 23:26:36 CM: am just reflashing... Oct 20 23:27:06 lol, oh man, that's gonna be a heck of a list Oct 20 23:27:24 BryceLeo: actually, it seems pretty sedate Oct 20 23:27:34 they really wont go wrong with, git, bzr, mercurial, they'll just need to do the same re-hashing of current processes Oct 20 23:27:35 BryceLeo: perhaps I'm too used to lkml-level madness Oct 20 23:28:18 hahaha lkml is definately pandemonium however you're right, it's not nearly as fervent as i expected Oct 20 23:28:52 all a question of defination Oct 20 23:28:55 i'm a bzr fan, but really with a project the size of kde, mercurial, bzr, git, heck even mtn would all be good Oct 20 23:30:24 Henryk: Did you see http://mkestner.blogspot.com/2007/10/moko-bindings.html Oct 20 23:30:40 cesarb: do you have a vcs preference Oct 20 23:30:43 ?* Oct 20 23:30:58 CM: yes, koen posted it this morning in #OE. Oct 20 23:31:15 Ah, ok. Guess I'm a bit slow :) Oct 20 23:31:48 BryceLeo: mostly svn or git, slowly moving in the direction of "git" Oct 20 23:32:03 CM: mothing to include, though: the author explicitly requires programmers to simply copy it into their project, because the API isn't stable and installing in the GAC wouldn't make any sense. (And no autotools *grr*) Oct 20 23:32:17 CM: Will have to look at it when libmokoui goes stable Oct 20 23:32:26 BryceLeo: svn is great, since it fixes cvs's most annoying mistakes... but there's no way it can beat git in sheer speed and space use Oct 20 23:32:47 Henryk: Sounds reasonable. Oct 20 23:32:51 BryceLeo: what's funny is that git as originally designed was the most space-wasting of them all, and nowadays it's one of the least space-using! Oct 20 23:33:02 Henryk: How fast is mono on the Neo? I haven't gotten around to trying it yet Oct 20 23:33:38 cesarb: yes, i know what you mean, for school i had to use cvs for a few projects, and the move to svn was a blessing, i'm however stuck on distributed vcs's because i like free backups, cheap branching, and the ability to pull what i want from whichever person has it done. Oct 20 23:34:28 cesarb: yes that is awesome how it's been much worked over on space saving, i hear that torvalds guy knows a thing or two lol, though if you hear him talk, he knows everything Oct 20 23:34:45 BryceLeo: I will probably tend fully in the direction of git for personal use, however I'm still not familiar enough with it (while with works-almost-the-same-as-cvs-only-even-simpler svn I was already familiar from the beginning) Oct 20 23:35:02 CM: somewhat longish startup time (feels like 5 to 10 seconds, didn't measure) but should be fine after that. I currently don't have much user experience either because https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=323747 is a blocker for me Oct 20 23:36:06 cesarb: heh, yeah, it took me a pretty good while to move over to bzr, just can't be the feel of what you're familiar with Oct 20 23:36:11 gamin: What doesn't work about it? Oct 20 23:36:51 CM: Thanks, webkit did compile now... :) Oct 20 23:36:57 also, there's one small problem with git: linus simply doesn't care at all about ms-windows, and it shows Oct 20 23:36:58 Henryk: Ouch, nasty bug Oct 20 23:36:58 abraxa_, only a message that some gst should be installed which however is there Oct 20 23:37:31 cesarb: i've heard that the newest updates don't even work in cygwin Oct 20 23:37:32 abraxa_: the wording of the message has slightly changed in the last 5 days or so Oct 20 23:37:32 gamin: Yeah, I heard about this... it's actually missing other gst plugins like the playbin and volume adjuster Oct 20 23:37:33 (not a problem at home, since I don't have ms-windows at all, but when working with other people it definitely can be an issue) Oct 20 23:37:52 cesarb: haha yes, my house is windows free as well, however the office is not Oct 20 23:37:55 abraxa_: I have installed everything that starts with gst Oct 20 23:38:05 abraxa_: how about, like, making them dependencies of openmoko-mediaplayer2? Oct 20 23:38:24 Henryk: I wanted to, mickey wants them as dependencies for openmoko-soundsystem Oct 20 23:38:37 (which is fair enough if it works) Oct 20 23:38:38 abraxa_: actually both, then Oct 20 23:38:59 Yeah, I'll have to bug XorA|gone again Oct 20 23:39:07 At work is about half windows/half linux (with some random macos sometimes surfacing in the mix)... Some coworkers were playing with ubuntu's new compiz yesterday :D Oct 20 23:39:07 just finished reflashing with an image from 17/10 and there it works out of the box Oct 20 23:39:08 (actually tried but failed today) Oct 20 23:39:19 albeit too much cpu Oct 20 23:39:35 cesarb: haha though by reading a bunch of this discussion about the kde scm debate, i'm starting to take a harder and harder look at mercurial. Oct 20 23:40:01 cesarb: haha, my work is 90% windows desktops 10% linux desktops, linux/windows/netware servers, it's a bit hodgepodge Oct 20 23:40:10 lol, the new ubuntu is buggy as all getout Oct 20 23:40:16 where did the screenshot button go in the menu that pops up after 4 secs power button? Oct 20 23:40:19 i put it on par with windows 2000 with no service packs Oct 20 23:40:21 gamin: Try an "ipkg install gst-plugin-playbin gst-plugin-volume gst-plugin-decodebin", please Oct 20 23:40:31 * gamin wonders if it is cheaper to a new 4-in-1 pen on ebay than buying batteries... Oct 20 23:40:34 gamin: Ah never mind, you flashed a different image :) Oct 20 23:40:51 i've completely killed x in such a way that i can't go to VC's or restart it with ctrl+alt+backspace about 5 times within the last 2 days Oct 20 23:40:53 Kero: It's the aux button, not power :) Oct 20 23:40:58 BryceLeo: the timezone data for gutsy was wrong (Brazil's crazy summer time start/end dates again), but the update is already out Oct 20 23:41:00 Kero: moved to the aux button Oct 20 23:41:06 abraxa_: I'll reflash later to a new one I just build Oct 20 23:41:09 ah, ok! thx! Oct 20 23:41:21 abraxa_: I'll let you know if it works Oct 20 23:41:29 * cesarb always wait a while before upgrading to new ubuntu releases, unlike it seems most people who can't wait to see the new cool and neat things Oct 20 23:41:56 cesarb: yeah, i would have liked to see this release pushed back another month or so. Oct 20 23:41:57 the pen is 6$ on ebay w/ shipping included Oct 20 23:42:22 hmm, I set up a buildhost the other day (on the 17th) and simply picked the ubuntu with the highest number. didn't know that 7.10 was not yet released then, I simply installed it Oct 20 23:42:34 I'm constantly playing with the light and the laser... Oct 20 23:42:37 cesarb: i wait a day, look for any major problems with my hardware, and if there are none i pull the trigger, i've got a pretty solid re-build system down so to get back to my previous state is only about 2 hours of hands off work Oct 20 23:43:45 BryceLeo: well, my hardware *is* problematic, so I already expect it to crash, like it did on 6.10->7.04 (the update manager installed cpufreq, which crashes the CPU) Oct 20 23:44:48 BryceLeo: not to mention the 3D acceleration, which locks up the box if used too much (so compiz will probably be a minefield for me) Oct 20 23:44:51 cesarb: ahhh, i've got a thinkpad, and one of them supported dell machines, and my desktops are actually running dapper because they're more servers than desktops now Oct 20 23:45:00 cesarb: what sort of hardware do you have? Oct 20 23:45:51 BryceLeo: 2GHz AMD64 with a X550 passive-cooled GPU Oct 20 23:46:06 cesarb: i've got the intel integrated with the open drivers and it locks up, crashes, dies, redraws half my screen, redraws alternating lines in my screen.... it's pretty kludgey sometimes Oct 20 23:46:16 cesarb: nice setup, who makes the mobo? Oct 20 23:46:20 anybody succeeded running latest qtopia build (10/19)? Oct 20 23:46:42 BryceLeo: Asus M2V Oct 20 23:46:59 i've notices some asus boards that do funky things Oct 20 23:47:21 like my dad's you have to turn it on, wait for it to fail to go to grub, then ctrl+alt+del and then it'll start up and go to grub like nothing is wrong Oct 20 23:47:57 i figured bios upgrade was needed, did it, and still the same issue Oct 20 23:48:05 BryceLeo: well, as the asr mantra (IIRC, I'm not 100% sure it's the asr mantra) says, "All hardware sucks, all software sucks" Oct 20 23:48:32 the best part of the compiz-fusion is the zoom, it's just a fantastic tool. LMAO, that mantra regardless of who's it is, is very very true. Oct 20 23:48:47 ok, got to get some sleep now Oct 20 23:49:27 but Henryk it's only 8:00! Oct 20 23:49:33 well, around 8 Oct 20 23:49:56 hmm, 22% cpu idle but openmoko-mediaplayer still stumbles.. Oct 20 23:50:29 Yeah, it seems that sentence comes from asr Oct 20 23:50:41 ~ugt Oct 20 23:50:42 from memory, ugt is Universal Greeting Time. Created in #mipslinux, it is a rule that states that whenever somebody enters an IRC channel it is always morning, and it is always late when the person leaves. The local time of any other people in the channel, including the greeter, is irrelevant. http://www.total-knowledge.com/~ilya/mips/ugt.html Oct 20 23:50:51 hmf. I hate spontaneous reboots... empty battery or bug? Oct 20 23:50:54 BryceLeo: got to get up in about 7 hours to get to the second part of the content meeting for the next chaos communication congress Oct 20 23:51:59 It's soon 2 am here :) Oct 20 23:52:04 Henryk: well that sure sounds like a busy day! good luck and have fun! Oct 20 23:52:18 madplay uses just 19% cpu. mediaplayer 48% + 25% pulseaudio. Oct 21 00:12:17 hi does anyone know if the openmoko has a spreadsheeting app? Oct 21 00:12:36 abraxa_: I flashed the lastest build and after "ipkg install gst-plugin-playbin gst-plugin-volume gst-plugin-decodebin" it now starts but Oct 21 00:13:05 when tring to load a playlist an error msg appears: Missing element audio convert Oct 21 00:13:23 "check your gstreamer installation" Oct 21 00:14:30 duffyd: I tried to build gnumeric, but the build failed. didn't look at it though. Oct 21 00:14:41 gamin: ta Oct 21 00:14:57 gamin: btw looks like you're trying to get mp3 stuff working? (well a wild guess anyway :) Oct 21 00:15:28 duffyd: well, madplay works, but openmoko-mediaplayer doesn't Oct 21 00:15:40 and xmms doesn't either. missing font. Oct 21 00:16:01 gamin: what does madplay support? Oct 21 00:16:01 actually xmms works but the gui doesn't appear Oct 21 00:16:05 k Oct 21 00:16:06 mp3 Oct 21 00:16:11 cool! Oct 21 00:16:23 but it is command line Oct 21 00:16:24 * duffyd is still running utopia on his neo Oct 21 00:16:32 need to make the switch Oct 21 00:16:36 * CM takes a nap Oct 21 00:16:39 s/utopia/qtopia Oct 21 00:17:44 * rwhitby tries the qmake2-native webkit-gtk rebuild suggestion Oct 21 00:23:47 ruby + cairo + gtk2 on openmoko: http://chmeee.dyndns.org/om/native_eggclock.png Oct 21 00:24:09 and the packages are hooked into OE, too :) Oct 21 00:26:04 * ljp is beginning to hate wekit Oct 21 00:26:19 or, rather webkit-gtk Oct 21 00:26:29 ljp: welcome to the club Oct 21 00:30:04 Kero: fatter hands on the clock. Oct 21 00:32:08 hmm... latest openmoko image doesn't work :( Oct 21 00:32:48 nelson: all choices are open now :) I'm happy I finally got it to behave within OE Oct 21 00:33:36 this particular script is an adaptation I made from another. with the dpi of Neo, you're right, tho. Oct 21 00:52:17 ljp, What's wrong with webkit-gtk? Oct 21 00:54:51 doesnt build in oe Oct 21 00:55:42 Ouch. Oct 21 00:56:05 i think the pnly thing that uses it is the rss reader Oct 21 00:58:59 duffyd, I'm still using Qtopia, too. Oct 21 00:59:17 Is there a way to avoid the battery bug? I seem to run into it every couple of days, which is a major drag. Oct 21 01:00:10 paulproteus: yeah me too :) Oct 21 01:06:43 battery bug doesn't turn off all hardware? Oct 21 01:08:08 paulproteus: battery bug? Oct 21 01:09:32 Well, I find my Neo often refuses to turn on, even when plugged into USB for a day or two. I thought this was the "battery bug" that required taking out the battery for a while. Oct 21 01:09:43 "a while" was defined as "10 hours is known to work; other values may work too". Oct 21 01:10:05 sounds like a hard crash to me. Oct 21 01:10:25 Well, usually I can get it out of this state by leaving the battery out for a while. Oct 21 01:10:29 What do you mean "hard crash"? Oct 21 01:11:56 The processor isn't listening to the soft power button anymore. Oct 21 01:20:44 I was about to ask some questions, but then I saw the topic... Oct 21 01:21:18 I still have some questions, is there a person or wki page that could answer them? Oct 21 01:21:23 s/wki/wiki/ Oct 21 01:21:23 t00na meant: I still have some questions, is there a person or wiki page that could answer them? Oct 21 01:21:37 apt: version Oct 21 01:21:38 well, version is Kernel: uname -r. Debian: cat /etc/debian_version. and: dpkg -l libc6 | tail -1. Package: dpkg -l _pkgname_. Miscellaneous: try --version on the command. check /etc/apt/sources.list; run apt-cache policy , or lsb_release -d Oct 21 01:38:41 nice. i guess apt is missing some ` ` or is it just being funny? Oct 21 01:53:51 no, it's telling you how to check versions of packages, kernels, commands, distros, etc. Oct 21 01:57:44 nelson, Oh, I guess just pulling out the battery and putting it back in should fix that, then? Oct 21 02:00:17 so is there anyone I could ask or a wiki page I could consult? Oct 21 02:02:21 t00na: don't ask to ask, just ask... Oct 21 02:02:59 the topic says not to ask the questions that I am interested in asking. Oct 21 02:03:25 "Do not ask about GTA02 (December as of last update, yes, that's the one with WiFi, and no, there's no cam, GPS will be u-blox/Atmel ATR0635 )." Oct 21 02:04:02 ok so if it's something more than the usual stuff, ask Oct 21 02:04:11 t00na, Yes, the wiki.openmoko.org page on GTA02 should have info on that. Oct 21 02:04:32 okay. Oct 21 02:04:40 Well I want to know about power management Oct 21 02:04:54 http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/GTA02 (redirects to another page, but there is lots of info there) Oct 21 02:04:58 and usability. Oct 21 02:05:34 t00na, currently there's pretty much neither Oct 21 02:06:03 will it be on the 02? Oct 21 02:06:19 that's not a hardware question, it's a software question Oct 21 02:06:32 well, mostly, but you can have both on the 01 as well Oct 21 02:07:07 Well I heard that the GTA02 will be the one that's directed towards average users Oct 21 02:07:09 paulproteus: yes, that's why pulling the battery gets you back. Oct 21 02:07:43 t00na, aimed, rather, but still a software question Oct 21 02:07:57 It's a software fix fundamentally. Oct 21 02:08:14 there's nothing in 01 hw that would make it fundamentally unsuitable for average users Oct 21 02:08:23 1. Proper metering of battery life and deciding what to do when it's low. Oct 21 02:08:39 2. Power off when below a critical level of charge. Oct 21 02:09:16 3. On USB insertion, power back on, see if there is a host there to which we can fast charge from, if yes, do that, if no, go back to sleep and slow charge Oct 21 02:09:16 how long does the battery last when it's fully charged? Oct 21 02:09:35 several hours :] Oct 21 02:09:50 3-6 hours fully active, 2 daysish with only modem active doing wake-on-ring Oct 21 02:10:02 (and that's not setup yet either) Oct 21 02:10:03 Wait, it can do sleep now? Oct 21 02:10:05 Oh, okay. (-: Oct 21 02:10:19 The modem can recieve calls with the CPU off. Oct 21 02:10:28 But it just gives 'engaged' Oct 21 02:10:33 * paulproteus nods Oct 21 02:11:06 wake-on-ring sounds like a nice feature. Oct 21 02:11:29 3-6 hours... okay Oct 21 02:11:52 That's active and doing stuff. Oct 21 02:12:03 Normally, it'll be suspended more than that. Oct 21 02:12:08 right. Oct 21 02:12:08 SpeedEvil: that's with BT ? Oct 21 02:12:20 1/7 possible power managment techniques are implemented. Oct 21 02:12:28 so When will the software be fully usable? Oct 21 02:12:42 when it will Oct 21 02:12:46 aevin: We can't wake on BT - but BT does not add significantly. Oct 21 02:12:59 t00na: I would personally be surprised if it's before Feb. Oct 21 02:13:16 SpeedEvil: i was thinking of that 3-6 hrs battery estimate (being active and "doing stuff") Oct 21 02:13:20 well... gives me time to save my money :) Oct 21 02:13:37 BT can be quite power consuming (so will wifi on GTA02 be) Oct 21 02:13:41 aevin: 3h would be playing video, ... Oct 21 02:13:42 Feb? You are an optimistic one. Oct 21 02:13:47 SpeedEvil: okay. Oct 21 02:14:03 I say June, and even then only common stuff will truely be stable. Oct 21 02:14:13 Hard to call. Oct 21 02:14:38 SpeedEvil: Can it be used as a phone right now? Oct 21 02:14:40 Not really. We have three months of history to examine. Oct 21 02:14:49 we better give our Neos some ultra low power bluetooth (formerly known as wibree) modifications by time, when the first chips get out. Oct 21 02:15:48 t00na: yes - with some software versions. Mostly. Oct 21 02:16:00 t00na: A nokia 1100 beats it hands-down as a phone at the moment. Oct 21 02:16:46 Do the Neos have Ruby? Oct 21 02:16:53 I know they have Python... Oct 21 02:17:03 t00na: you can add anything you like on it. Oct 21 02:17:22 how difficult would it be to port Ruby to it? Oct 21 02:17:55 You don't really port stuff. Oct 21 02:18:13 It's basically a desktop linux box that nobodys told it it's a phone Oct 21 02:18:29 You just find stuff small enough to install, and compile it. Oct 21 02:19:56 Oh. Oct 21 02:21:44 a whole lot of packages are also precompiled and available, which is nice Oct 21 02:22:33 just installed x11vnc today to be able to project the neo screen through a laptop as a presentation aid Oct 21 02:26:12 what's been done with the GPS? Oct 21 02:26:26 any wicked-cool apps for that yet? Oct 21 02:27:08 not really, since the driver isn't yet even (legally) available Oct 21 02:28:41 and well, generally speaking, at this point there are pretty much no "wicked cool" apps Oct 21 02:28:57 * nelson likes pygps. Oct 21 02:29:05 Of course, without a GPS receiver .... **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sun Oct 21 02:59:56 2007
