| Mece | I hope those refs make it to doc.qt... that page is terrible in microb | 01:20 |
| Venemo | it's not that bad on a computer screen | 01:21 |
| Mece | Venemo, my N900 is my computer | 01:30 |
| Mece | Venemo, but no, it's fine on a computer | 01:30 |
| Venemo | Mece, oh, sorry. I meant it's a lot better on a laptop screen or a 20" screen | 01:31 |
| Mece | :) | 01:31 |
| Venemo | [00:30] <Mece> Venemo, my N900 is my computer ---> you don't have a laptop or a desktop computer? | 01:31 |
| Mece | i have a desktop computer but it's not here, and when I'm there I don't have time to go to it. | 01:37 |
| Venemo | okay | 01:37 |
| Mece | I use it remotely for compiling. | 01:37 |
| Venemo | sounds cool | 01:38 |
| Mece | I wouldn't say cool, but it works. | 01:38 |
| Mece | so... any ideas how to get a second terminal window on N950? | 01:39 |
| Venemo | seems that once can't launch 'meego-terminal' more than once... dunno | 01:41 |
| DocScrutinizer51 | isn't there a "new term" menu item just like for N900? | 01:45 |
| Venemo | DocScrutinizer51, nope | 01:48 |
| Mece | is there a menu? | 01:48 |
| Venemo | I don't think so | 01:51 |
| Mece | either way It's frustrating. | 01:52 |
| Mece | I have 4 terminals running on my N900 right now. | 01:52 |

| Mece | good night. | 01:59 |
| *** Mece has quit IRC | 01:59 | |
| Venemo | any of you figured out how to remap the hw kbd yet? | 02:10 |
| * vandenoever wonders if Page and PageStackWindow can be transparent | 02:12 | |
| Venemo | vandenoever, what good would that be? | 02:12 |
| vandenoever | Venemo: if app is smaller than screen size, i'd like the rest of screen to have the theme background | 02:12 |
| Venemo | hm | 02:13 |
| Venemo | I can't think of any example | 02:13 |
| vandenoever | PageStackWindow has a property platformStyle, perhaps that can help | 02:16 |
| Venemo | I'm really beginning to like the N950 | 02:29 |
| DocScrutinizer51 | still my N900 beats the N950 hands down, usability wise and wrt joy of use | 02:39 |
| Venemo | 'wrt'? | 02:39 |

| *** vandenoever has quit IRC | 02:41 | |
| Venemo | ah | 02:41 |
| Venemo | thx Doc | 02:41 |
| DocScrutinizer51 | first 2 were 23 here :-) | 02:41 |
| DocScrutinizer51 | 1:40:23 though | 02:42 |
| Venemo | about joy of use, swipe is very joyful, and I like the concept of a news feed in my homescreen, containing all stuff | 02:42 |
| *** deimos has quit IRC | 03:01 | |
| *** smoku has left #harmattan | 03:24 | |
| DocScrutinizer51 | swipe is as joyfull as a jogging workout | 03:29 |
| DocScrutinizer51 | on M5 I'm swtching between two tasks with just 2 clicks, or even a single kbd-shotcut | 03:30 |
| Venemo | here it's a swipe and a click | 03:30 |
| DocScrutinizer51 | hah, yeah, if you don't end on applauncher or another random "homescreen" | 03:31 |
| Venemo | app launcher can also switch tasks | 03:31 |
| DocScrutinizer51 | haha | 03:32 |
| DocScrutinizer51 | basically swipe is as "cool" as massive compiz-alike window animations or bombastic dektop-event sounds. Takes you off your feet first 5 time, on 50th time it's just boring and on 500th thime you curse it | 03:34 |
| Venemo | it may not be one click only, but it works fast | 03:35 |
| DocScrutinizer51 | it's the second best thing you can get, just after real proper precise touchscreen and hw kbd | 03:35 |
| Venemo | well, it saves screen size | 03:35 |
| Venemo | s/size/shape | 03:36 |
| Venemo | meh | 03:36 |
| DocScrutinizer51 | which is badly needed for the bloated buttons you need for c-ts | 03:36 |
| Venemo | I'm not getting words right at 2 AM | 03:36 |
| Venemo | eh. | 03:36 |
| Venemo | s/*/well, it saves screen space | 03:37 |
| Venemo | still, the buttons are smaller than on N900 and I can still touch them | 03:37 |
| Venemo | I only miss in the browser and on the vkb | 03:37 |
| Venemo | I can't imagine how anyone could use the vkb | 03:39 |
| Venemo | I mean, okay, maybe I'll get used to it in a few weeks | 03:39 |
| Venemo | but the hw kbd is sooo much better | 03:39 |
| DocScrutinizer | so, you got a larger screen than on N900, allegedly buttons of same size, and still you worry about saving screen space for that tiny menu button upper left? | 03:39 |
| DocScrutinizer | weird | 03:39 |
| Venemo | I'm not worrying about anything at all | 03:40 |
| Venemo | just sayin' that the concept works on me | 03:40 |
| DocScrutinizer | the concept damn better "works", otherwise EPIC FAIL on Nokia's side | 03:41 |
| Venemo | what do you mean? | 03:41 |
| DocScrutinizer | I just say the "old" M5 concept is way better for me | 03:41 |
| Venemo | to be honest, I liked that too | 03:42 |
| Venemo | as for you, you already stated that M4's concept is your favourite :) | 03:42 |
| DocScrutinizer | it has merits (M4) - e.g. it's really completely kbd useable | 03:43 |
| Venemo | yeah | 03:43 |
| *** NIN101 has quit IRC | 03:43 | |
| DocScrutinizer | a severe regression on M5 | 03:44 |
| Venemo | I also think that the N950 is far less clumsy and better looking than the N900 | 03:44 |
| DocScrutinizer | indeed | 03:44 |
| Venemo | but I'll understand if you don't agree | 03:44 |
| DocScrutinizer | it's sooo shiny | 03:44 |
| Venemo | maybe so | 03:44 |
| Venemo | but the LCD looks so damn good | 03:44 |
| DocScrutinizer | if only it had a proper touchscreen and a OS that'S not crippled by security framework | 03:45 |
| Venemo | yeah... | 03:45 |
| Venemo | maybe when MeeGo CE will grow up | 03:45 |
| DocScrutinizer | won't help, the c-ts is unbearable | 03:45 |
| Venemo | well | 03:45 |
| Venemo | I can tolerate it | 03:45 |
| Venemo | I've only missed in the browser so far, and the VKB on occasion | 03:46 |
| DocScrutinizer | sure, that's very personal preferences | 03:46 |
| Venemo | yeah | 03:46 |
| Venemo | I have very personal preferences | 03:46 |
| DocScrutinizer | doesn't everybody? :-) | 03:46 |
| Venemo | :) | 03:47 |
| Venemo | you know, I'm fascinated by the GPU too. comparing the smoothness of the animations with the N900 | 03:47 |
| Venemo | maybe the software is just this better, maybe it's the 2× clock of the GPU | 03:47 |
| Venemo | but it actually feels smooth | 03:47 |
| DocScrutinizer | hmm, for video playback it seems to me there's not really any difference, according to my DrHouse tests of yesterday | 03:48 |
| DocScrutinizer | and sure it's way faster | 03:48 |
| DocScrutinizer | but the N900 usually is just fast enough for me, and as stated above (though implicitly) I'm not the fan of eyecandy | 03:49 |
| DocScrutinizer | the damn thing has to work, with minimal effort and minimal distraction | 03:49 |
| DocScrutinizer | I prefer a console to a boot splashscreen any day, know what I mean? | 03:50 |
| DocScrutinizer | sometimes I even frown on the tux on boot console ;-) | 03:51 |
| DocScrutinizer | and on my desktop PC the windows just vanish in one video frame timespan when clicking the close button - no fancy animations or any nonsense | 03:53 |
| DocScrutinizer | I actually couldn't care less about smooth scrolling | 03:54 |
| DocScrutinizer | what I care though are the smears all across the screen due to swipe :-P | 03:56 |
| Venemo | mhm | 03:57 |
| DocScrutinizer | btw there's a secret trick to avoid this: click right and then left border of screen in fast sequence, MTF will detect this as a swipe ;-D | 03:57 |
| DocScrutinizer | you'll need two fingers for that | 03:57 |
| Venemo | hehe | 03:57 |
| Venemo | I also dislike the smudges on the screen | 03:59 |
| Venemo | but it seems that some time in my pocked does clean it | 03:59 |
| Venemo | also the screen seems quite durable, although I had not had the courage to do any serious testing about it | 03:59 |
| Venemo | but, fortunately you don't have to fully swipe a window | 04:01 |
| Venemo | I just kinda toss it away | 04:01 |
| Venemo | swiping from edge to the 1/5th of the screen from either direction seems to get the job done | 04:01 |
| Venemo | and I haven't been missing the widgets either. | 04:02 |
| Venemo | every control is not further than 3 or 4 swipes and/or click away | 04:02 |
| Venemo | if all the stuff worked okay in landscape and there were an IRC client, then I think Harmattan would very much appeal to me | 04:04 |
| Venemo | the device itself (not the OS though) completely bought me | 04:05 |
| Venemo | now goodbye DocScrutinizer, I'll go sleep :) | 04:08 |

| Venemo | good morning djszapi | 11:25 |
| djszapi | hello =) | 11:25 |
| Venemo | I guess DocScrutinizer's next question would be, how to obtain such an "R&D certificate" | 11:26 |
| *** khertan has quit IRC | 11:28 | |
| dm8tbr | Venemo: by working for nokia or being subcontracted to nokia and being on a harmattan project, I guess. | 11:30 |
| Mek | those as not enough | 11:30 |
| alterego | Anyone else have a problem with signal on the N950? | 11:31 |
| Stskeeps | alterego: something is a bit odd at least, performance worse than my n900, or more accurate.. | 11:31 |
| alterego | It's just worse for me. | 11:31 |
| Stskeeps | try to force 2.5g maybe | 11:32 |
| alterego | The signal seems to change quicker and if I hold it normally it drops, where as the N900 used to pick up 3G fine where I am. | 11:32 |
| alterego | I find if I only hold it by the two plastic ends it works fine and reports full signal :/ | 11:32 |
| alterego | I remember tyhe N900 being like this when I first got it though, so I hope it may be firmware fixable. | 11:32 |
| Stskeeps | yeah.. let's just assume it's not final firmware | 11:32 |
| Stskeeps | nor in modem | 11:33 |
| alterego | :) | 11:33 |
| alterego | I'm hoping at least those details are the same in the N9 and we get some fixes, wrt.. | 11:33 |
| Venemo | well, N950 shows significantly less signal strength sometimes, but I never noticed any difference in call quality | 11:33 |
| alterego | Well, I lose all signal when I'm inside and I'm holding the device. | 11:34 |
| Venemo | in fact, the N950 has a lot better call quality imo | 11:34 |
| djszapi | Venemo: You cannot | 11:34 |
| alterego | So call quality can't be compared because I can't make a call :P | 11:34 |
| djszapi | Aegis cannot be turned off as I have been told. | 11:34 |
| djszapi | but we boosted the documentation issue to the SDK team. That is what I could help with. | 11:35 |
| Stskeeps | alterego: you're holding it wrong! | 11:35 |
| Stskeeps | :P | 11:35 |

| alterego | Stskeeps: indeed. I was just wondering if it was just me or others' had noticed the issue. Because if it was just me I'd work on insulating the antenna or trying to see what's shoring. | 11:36 |
| alterego | ~shorting | 11:36 |
| Venemo | alterego, yours seem to be weaker than average | 11:37 |
| frals | alterego: mine is fubar as well | 11:37 |
| Mek | mine doesn't work at all as a phone anymore... one part of the flashing fails (cmt-mcusw) and it doesn't recognize any simcard I put in it... | 11:37 |
| alterego | Venemo: that may just be location, | 11:37 |
| alterego | Venemo: I appreciate I'm in a low signal area so it's hyper sensitive, that and being indoors. It's just annoying because I could normally use the N900 in these circumstances fine. | 11:38 |
| Venemo | mhm | 11:38 |
| Venemo | one thing I also noticed is that the N950 is deliberately powering down its antenna as it battery gets lower | 11:38 |
| Venemo | on "battery low", it can barely hold on to the network, while with the charger in or the battery full, it shows max | 11:39 |
| djszapi | The problem is that with the public documentation, some "smart" guys thought that months ago (not from the security team, more like managers) so that aegis should not be documented that much since then the security can be hacked. | 11:39 |
| Venemo | how ridiculous is that | 11:40 |
| alterego | Not really, you'd be suprised at how many companies, people etc use security through obscurity .. | 11:41 |
| *** khertan has joined #harmattan | 11:41 | |
| Venemo | hmhm | 11:41 |
| djszapi | alterego: it is really ridiculous in my opinion as well. You do need to document every bits, but at least from the user point of view in order for it to be able to be used. | 11:42 |
| djszapi | * do not need | 11:43 |
| *** djszapi has left #harmattan | 11:45 | |
| Venemo | alterego, in fact I slapped my main SIM card into the N950 and use it as my "main" device. barely touched the N900 ever since. | 11:48 |
| * dm8tbr facepalms | 11:49 | |
| Venemo | dm8tbr, why, it isn't that bad | 11:50 |
| dm8tbr | proper security should easily withstand the fact of being publicly documented. if it doesn't then it wasn't secure in the first place | 11:50 |
| Venemo | ahh | 11:50 |
| Venemo | agreed | 11:50 |
| Venemo | (I thought you facepalmed at what I said) | 11:50 |
| dm8tbr | nah | 11:50 |
| dm8tbr | security issue disclosure would be an arguable topic, but different story, let's not troll | 11:50 |
| achipa | Venemo: nice | 12:03 |
| alterego | I'm using the N950 as primary too, I still carry around the N900 because I use conboy too much :P | 12:05 |
| *** vandenoever has joined #harmattan | 12:05 | |
| alterego | And the web experience is better for me .. | 12:05 |
| Venemo | :) | 12:07 |
| Venemo | you aware that Conny is making a QML version of Conboy? | 12:07 |
| Stskeeps | excellent | 12:07 |
| alterego | Yes, I spoke to him about it in San Francisco | 12:08 |
| vandenoever | nice, current notes tool lacks an export function | 12:08 |
| alterego | And hyper linking :P | 12:08 |
| Venemo | Conny is not sure yet how he will proceed though, as QML's TextEdit stuff lacks any serious functionality | 12:10 |
| Venemo | so he said that he currently has a QTextEdit in a QML proxy | 12:10 |

| Venemo | patience is a virtue | 12:22 |
| Stskeeps | Termana: got approved? | 12:22 |
| * Stskeeps forgot to see if you were on list :) | 12:22 | |
| Termana | Stskeeps, I've been stuck on New Order for the past week :p | 12:22 |
| Stskeeps | took me ages too, considering | 12:23 |
| Termana | They just aren't shoving it in the post :p | 12:23 |
| Termana | actually nearly 2 weeks | 12:26 |
| Termana | Stskeeps, but didn't you already have one before :p | 12:26 |
| Stskeeps | for various reasons it's good for me to have a consumer one to experience same things as rest of you :P | 12:27 |
| Venemo | Stskeeps, any news on meego.com meego? :) | 12:29 |
| Stskeeps | working on it but it's summer | 12:29 |
| Venemo | also, will MeeGo CE support the N950 in the long term? | 12:30 |
| Stskeeps | yes | 12:30 |
| Venemo | it seems to be a valid upgrade path in maybe half a year or a full year from now (or sooner) | 12:30 |
| Venemo | hm, I want the facebook app to completely ignore the messages from games | 12:33 |
| *** lardman|gone is now known as lardman | 12:36 | |
| lardman | morning | 12:36 |
| Termana | lardman, morning | 12:37 |
| lardman | hi Termana | 12:37 |
| lardman | any news on a newer flash image for the device? I imagine there's no desire for us to file bugs? | 12:38 |
| Termana | lardman, I don't think they want bugs filed especially considering the age of the image and bugs already fixed. | 12:39 |
| lardman | yep, that's what I assumed | 12:40 |
| achipa | Venemo: a kingdom for a facebook app that can ignore games ! | 12:41 |
| * lardman 's attempts to compile mBarcode over the weekend were stymied by a lack of internet | 12:42 | |
| * lardman unpacks laptop to do some building here | 12:42 | |
| Venemo | achipa, it could work with a black list. if the message contains "via FarmVille" or sth, it simply ignores it. | 12:43 |
| Venemo | achipa, btw, have you managed to run the game? | 12:43 |
| Venemo | yeah lardman, I'm also interested in a new image | 12:44 |
| frals | achipa: get facebook to implement api for filtering them out and np ill hack it in | 12:46 |
| frals | achipa: anything ignored on fb.com should be ignored in app as well fwiw | 12:46 |
| frals | ... except when facebook api takes a shit on itself | 12:46 |
| Venemo | frals, you can hack stuff in? | 12:49 |
| Venemo | well honestly | 12:49 |
| Venemo | 90% of the stuff what the facebook client on N950 shows me are not visible at all on facebook.com | 12:50 |
| Venemo | but you could start by filtering by "via ..." | 12:52 |
| frals | Venemo: facebook app on n950 shows whatever "most recent" is showing on facebook.com | 12:55 |
| frals | or should, otherwise facebook api is fucked :p | 12:55 |
| frals | Venemo: and what about the people who *want* to see all farmville posts? ;-) | 12:56 |
| Venemo | frals, nope | 12:56 |
| *** achipa has quit IRC | 12:56 | |
| Venemo | frals, there is a "friend" of mine who plays a game called FrontierVille. in N950 I see all the crappy messages related to it, while in facebook.com I don't see any of it | 12:57 |
| Venemo | frals, nor in "most recent" | 12:57 |
| frals | Venemo: then its a bug in facebook.coms API :( | 12:58 |
| lardman | Is there a twitter app? | 12:58 |
| lardman | Just that I don't see it in the accounts page, but I saw it mentioned elsewhere iirc | 12:59 |
| frals | the solution i suggest is get better friends, thats what i told the manager complaining about the same thing ;-) | 12:59 |
| frals | lardman: afaik later versions should have it | 13:00 |
| lardman | but not ours? | 13:00 |
| lardman | if so np, just wanted to check I'd not missed it | 13:00 |
| frals | lardman: no, dont think so | 13:00 |
| lardman | the only other usability issue is the lack of notifications that you've missed something via the LED | 13:01 |
| Venemo | frals, can't you just add an option so that we can manually filter what we see on N950? | 13:01 |
| Venemo | frals, also, a welcome feature of the Facebook client on N950 would be a blacklist or whitelist | 13:01 |
| frals | Venemo: too big of a feature to sneak in at this point im afraid ;) | 13:02 |
| Venemo | so that I could choose whose stuff I don't wanna see | 13:02 |
| frals | and for blacklist you have facebook.com | 13:02 |
| Venemo | well I do wanna see them on facebook.com | 13:02 |
| Venemo | just not on my phone | 13:02 |
| * lardman tried out N95 headset, works nicely, glad I didn't get rid of it | 13:03 | |
| mgedmin | 1st time I launched the Calendar app on Harmattan, it suggested I set up a sync | 13:04 |
| mgedmin | I said "no", thinking "later" | 13:04 |
| mgedmin | now I've no clue how to do that | 13:04 |
| alterego | Heh | 13:05 |
| frals | mgedmin: accounts | 13:05 |
| alterego | Go to settings and then go to sync | 13:05 |
| mgedmin | settings of what? | 13:06 |
| alterego | "Sync and Backup" is what I used .. | 13:06 |
| mgedmin | do I add a CalDAV account? | 13:06 |
| mgedmin | I tried looking in Sync/Backup, it asked me to add devices | 13:06 |
| frals | mgedmin: depends what accounts calendar you want, i suppose :) | 13:06 |
| mgedmin | I was thinking "google calendar" | 13:06 |
| frals | mgedmin: in that case caldav usually | 13:06 |
| alterego | Oh right, yeah, accounts is probably it then ;) | 13:07 |
| alterego | I thought you meant import from a device, (I should read more) :P | 13:07 |
| mgedmin | well, I suppose I wanted to see what options it would offer me, really | 13:07 |
| mgedmin | now I think I've a grasp of the principles -- accounts for online calentars, sync for device calendars | 13:08 |
| *** djszapi has joined #harmattan | 13:11 | |
| *** NIN101 has joined #harmattan | 13:19 | |
| Venemo | frals, can I ask you something? | 13:24 |
| frals | Venemo: cant promise ill answer ;p | 13:24 |
| Venemo | frals, could you please point your colleague that works on the home screens to this? http://forum.meego.com/showpost.php?p=26251&postcount=33 | 13:25 |
| frals | Venemo: its locked to portrait for a reason i would assume | 13:26 |
| Venemo | frals, indeed, and many of us would very much like that "reason" (ie. this bug) to be fixed | 13:27 |
| djszapi | Could someone build a package today for the Harmattan target on the C-OBS site ? | 13:27 |
| lcuk | djszapi, obs is on the wonk this morning as you noticed, people are fixing it | 13:28 |
| frals | Venemo: i would be very surprised if its locked because of that bug and not because of some headhoncho decided it | 13:28 |
| lcuk | (your earlier PM) | 13:28 |
| Venemo | frals, honestly, locking these to portrait may be a good design decision for a keyboardless phone (N9), but it's definitely an inconvenience for a keyboarded device (N950) | 13:28 |
| djszapi | lcuk: actually it works for me compared to yesterday apart from the building part. | 13:28 |
| *** andre__ has quit IRC | 13:28 | |
| frals | Venemo: and enduser device is keyboard less, guess where resources will be put ;) | 13:28 |
| lcuk | so it is ONBS (Open Suse Not Building Service)! | 13:28 |
| lcuk | djszapi, not building is like a toaster without bread | 13:28 |
| Venemo | frals, the "lock" can be fixed by editing the css file, but we (the community) can't fix this bug since the package is closed | 13:29 |
| *** andre__ has joined #harmattan | 13:29 | |
| *** andre__ has joined #harmattan | 13:29 | |
| Venemo | frals, to me, the fix sounds as trivial as calling a redraw() on the onOrientationChanged() | 13:29 |
| djszapi | lcuk: I am happy I could upload my files, actually. That is also a very good progress. | 13:30 |
| lcuk | good | 13:30 |
| frals | Venemo: do you think the people who engineered the homescreen dont know how to code? :)) | 13:30 |
| lcuk | then the guys will get the building up and running shortly | 13:30 |
| Venemo | frals, I said no such thing, no offense meant | 13:30 |
| hiemanshu | still no clue about my N950 :/ | 13:30 |
| Venemo | frals, apparently, the visual glitch disappears when I go away from this homescreen and then go back to it (either by opening an app and swiping away, or just swiping to another homescreen and back)... so adding a redraw should fix it. | 13:31 |
| frals | Venemo: i want everything to be open sourced as much as the next guy and i want it to work properly on my n950 as well, but i think most of the easyfixes have been made and the rest is a resource issue AFAIK (note:: im a lowely engineer who know nothing about why decisions are made outside the decisions i make) | 13:31 |
| *** djszapi has left #harmattan | 13:33 | |
| Venemo | frals, I understand that, but maybe the meegotouch-home engineer could add this few lines of fix to his code without making the decision makers angry | 13:33 |
| lcuk | Venemo, :) sigh if only. lets suppose he did this patch (which had no bug number to attach it against) caused a further complication | 13:34 |
| frals | Venemo: what lcuk said :) | 13:35 |
| lcuk | and raised further bugs (not saying in this example it would) | 13:35 |
| frals | or maybe this extra redraw would cause the power consumption to go above the threshhold or anything else, things are not as trivial as they seem always ;) | 13:35 |
| Venemo | adding a redraw() will not cause further complication | 13:35 |
| Venemo | because it will be triggered in landscape only | 13:35 |
| lcuk | Venemo, adding ANY line of code can cause issue | 13:36 |
| Venemo | which is disabled by default... so the normal users won't see a difference | 13:36 |
| *** deimos has quit IRC | 13:36 | |
| lcuk | Venemo, on saturday | 13:36 |
| lcuk | somebody offered you a packaging patch | 13:36 |
| lcuk | if you accepted that patch and there was also a couple of lines of code in the actual app included | 13:37 |
| lcuk | would you accept the same patch as easily? | 13:37 |
| Venemo | I would review it and decide accordingly | 13:37 |
| lcuk | "Patch #1, fixing debian packaging" Also sets overclocking bits (single line to do it) | 13:37 |
| Venemo | hm? | 13:38 |
| lcuk | i am trying to let you see that "trivial" patches which seem obvious externally can have issue | 13:38 |
| Venemo | someone offered me a patch for something that was already fixed a long ago. I directly asked if the patch modified anything in the app itself and the answer was no. should it have contained fixes for the app, I would have reviewed them and acted accordingly | 13:38 |
| lcuk | and there are real reasons to not just accept everything | 13:39 |
| lcuk | Venemo, that is like the nokia builds | 13:39 |
| Venemo | however, if the fix is so trivial, it wouldn't take any long for me to accept it | 13:39 |
| frals | Venemo: what if i looked in to the code and it already had a redraw() in the right place? | 13:39 |
| lcuk | frals, is the n8 using oled screen? | 13:40 |
| Venemo | frals, in that case, this is not an easyfix | 13:40 |
| frals | lcuk: dunno what it has, some fancy stuff with lowreso at least | 13:40 |
| frals | Venemo: not saying it has, but chances are it does ;) | 13:41 |
| Venemo | lcuk, http://www.developer.nokia.com/Devices/Device_specifications/N8-00/ -> General -> Display Technology -> AMOLED | 13:42 |
| Venemo | frals, in that case, QTimer::singleShot(500, this, redraw()) | 13:42 |
| Venemo | okay, I'm joking now. | 13:43 |
| lardman | anyone know off hand whether we need any fpu flags? | 13:45 |
| lcuk | frals, lowreso? | 13:45 |
| frals | lcuk: low resolution* | 13:45 |
| lcuk | frals, resolution invariant ui | 13:45 |
| Stskeeps | lardman: fpu=neon, mfloat-abi=hard | 13:45 |
| lardman | thanks Stskeeps | 13:45 |
| lardman | also, is there a maemo-version equivalent? | 13:46 |
| lardman | actually I should be able to find out with some apt-cache search(ing) | 13:46 |
| frals | lcuk: sure, but its still not as pretty as a high resolution screen :D | 13:47 |
| Venemo | frals, so anyway, all I'm asking is that you ask the person responsible about this bug and if his answer is that he knows about it and it's hard to fix, then I'll be content knowing that it's hard to fix. however if it turns out to be an easyfix, it might as well get fixed. | 13:47 |
| frals | Venemo: if i can find the person who works on it ill pass it along, but i dont think i have any idea who actually does tbh | 13:47 |
| lcuk | frals, oh for sure, 1024*600 is nice on my meego ideapad :P | 13:48 |
| frals | but if you find any problem in PIM stuff i know the pople ;) | 13:48 |
| Venemo | frals, maybe the commit log tells it? | 13:48 |
| frals | lcuk: 854x480 is fine on a phone ;-) | 13:48 |
| lcuk | Venemo, file a bug | 13:48 |
| lcuk | frals, ++++++++++++ | 13:48 |
| DocScrutinizer | Venemo: my next question is: "where do I find the address to send back this aegis coffin?" | 13:48 |
| frals | Venemo: would have to dig out the repo url first | 13:49 |
| frals | Venemo: but ill drop the link somewhere it has some visibility at least | 13:49 |
| Venemo | lcuk, it has been officially stated by Quim that landscape (and X-Fade's trick to trigger it) is not supported. thus I know definitely what the outcome would be if I filed a bug | 13:49 |
| Venemo | frals, thank you very much | 13:49 |
| Venemo | DocScrutinizer, srsly? | 13:49 |
| lcuk | file it anyway | 13:49 |
| *** deimos has joined #harmattan | 13:49 | |

| lcuk | Venemo, then at some point it can be reevaluated | 13:49 |
| lcuk | on the nokia bugtracker | 13:50 |
| Venemo | lcuk, link please? | 13:50 |
| lcuk | frals, do you have the link so venemo can put all the info available into it | 13:50 |
| frals | no clue tbh | 13:50 |
| DocScrutinizer | Venemo: you'l see | 13:50 |
| frals | i think its hidden behind the launchpad login at developer.nokia.com | 13:50 |
| frals | and since i dont have acc i cant even see the bugs there | 13:50 |

| lcuk | yes | 13:51 |
| Venemo | lcuk, there is no "component" that fits this bug. | 13:51 |
| lcuk | that way a set of low hanging fruit might one day encounter it and it could be officially cured | 13:52 |
| Venemo | it obviously doesn't belong in either category | 13:52 |
| lcuk | put it in device then | 13:52 |

| djszapi | sorry ? | 14:35 |
| xerxes2 | some extra tricks seems to be needed | 14:37 |
| djszapi | What are you trying to do ? | 14:38 |
| xerxes2 | just copy the file to /usr/bin does not seem to work | 14:39 |
| djszapi | xerxes2: you would like to put your binary there without packaging or what do you mean ? | 14:39 |
| xerxes2 | just for testing | 14:39 |
| djszapi | xerxes2: package it | 14:39 |
| xerxes2 | will do | 14:39 |
| djszapi | or run the relevant aegis command | 14:40 |
| djszapi | oh? | 14:40 |
| xerxes2 | so you can't just copy a file to /usr/bin? | 14:40 |
| xerxes2 | run it with python first works just fine | 14:40 |
| xerxes2 | python /usr/bin/panucci | 14:40 |
| Venemo | you can, if you set the necessary stuff with Aegis | 14:40 |
| xerxes2 | like that | 14:40 |
| xerxes2 | what is aegis? | 14:41 |
| Venemo | Aegis is the security framework on Harmattan | 14:41 |
| djszapi | The name of the Sec. FW. | 14:41 |
| xerxes2 | that was what i was looking for :) | 14:41 |

| mgedmin | except I didn't remap the hardware keyboard | 15:32 |
| Venemo | mgedmin, so, could you tell me how to? | 15:32 |
| lardman | djszapi: I thought it was being sold as meego? | 15:32 |
| mgedmin | I adjusted the sym+letter combinations | 15:32 |
| Venemo | hmm | 15:32 |
| Venemo | mgedmin, that is what I wanna do | 15:32 |
| Venemo | mgedmin, I want to assign some Fn combinations | 15:32 |
| mgedmin | sym+letter == very special case | 15:32 |
| mgedmin | you keep pressing it, maliit keeps cycling over accented characters | 15:32 |
| Venemo | mgedmin, ah, you talking about that thingy which pops up when I press SYM? or you're talking about grey arrow (fn key)? | 15:32 |
| djszapi | lardman: We started it as maemo. I am not sure about how the managers sell it. Not that I care. Different kernel, packaging system, etc. | 15:32 |
| mgedmin | I'm talking about the SYM key that you hold down while repeatedly pressing letters to input various accents | 15:33 |
| mgedmin | on a n950 hardware keyboard | 15:33 |
| Venemo | lardman, Harmattan is Maemo 6, but it shares a lot of components (especially middleware) with MeeGo | 15:33 |
| mgedmin | if you want to make fn+key do something fancy, you'll need to deal with XKB rather than Maliit | 15:33 |
| Venemo | mhm | 15:33 |
| mgedmin | /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/nokia/uh... | 15:34 |
| frals | oh, you can cycle thru accents with sym key? need to try that :D | 15:34 |
| mgedmin | don't remember the exact path | 15:34 |
| Venemo | mgedmin, I tried that, but it didn't exactly work | 15:34 |
| mgedmin | frals, doesn't work for English (UK) because of a silly language code mismatch in an XML file | 15:34 |
| lardman | djszapi, Venemo: any chance of a maemo.org repo then to hold Extras-*? ;) | 15:35 |
| Venemo | mgedmin, if you could teach me your SYM trick, I'd be grateful for that too | 15:36 |
| mgedmin | http://pastie.org/2218247 | 15:36 |
| djszapi | lardman: obs :) | 15:36 |
| mgedmin | become root, cd /usr/share/meegotouch/virtual-keyboard/layouts, edit the .xml files in there | 15:36 |
| djszapi | lardman: there are already app and app-testing repositories for this purpose. | 15:36 |
| lardman | hmm | 15:36 |
| mgedmin | hwkbcharloops.xml defines SYM+letter accent loops | 15:36 |
| Venemo | mgedmin, where is that file? | 15:37 |
| lardman | so sb to do development, then upload to obs like the maemo autobuilder? | 15:37 |
| mgedmin | Venemo, <mgedmin> become root, cd /usr/share/meegotouch/virtual-keyboard/layouts, edit the .xml files in there | 15:37 |
| Venemo | ah, thank you | 15:37 |
| mgedmin | I soooo need Harmattan Extras with some essential tools (like vim) | 15:37 |
| Venemo | do I need any special actions to apply the changes? | 15:37 |
| frals | mgedmin: cheers | 15:37 |
| mgedmin | Venemo, yes! | 15:37 |
| djszapi | lardman: obs is not any different regarding to the targets. You can use either the webinterface, as I do, or the "osc" tool. | 15:38 |
| mgedmin | /sbin/initctl restart xsession/meego-im-uiserver | 15:38 |
| Venemo | mgedmin, thank you | 15:38 |
| Venemo | mgedmin, also, you're sayin it doesn't work with en-GB? | 15:38 |
| mgedmin | I'm saying the code is "en", not "en_GB" | 15:38 |
| Venemo | ah. | 15:39 |
| Venemo | ok | 15:39 |
| mgedmin | hwkbcharloops is defined by the user interface language, btw | 15:39 |
| mgedmin | not your selected virtual keyboard input method | 15:39 |
| Venemo | mgedmin, there is no "en.xml", just "en_gb.xml" and "en_gb_default.xml" | 15:39 |
| mgedmin | those are virtual keyboard definition files | 15:39 |
| mgedmin | I was talking about device language | 15:39 |
| mgedmin | use gconftool -g /meegotouch/i18n/language | 15:40 |
| Venemo | ok, device language is English (United Kingdom), so which XML file do I edit? | 15:40 |
| mgedmin | to see the UI language code | 15:40 |
| mgedmin | for the hardware keyboard? | 15:40 |
| mgedmin | <mgedmin> hwkbcharloops.xml defines SYM+letter accent loops | 15:40 |
| Venemo | aah | 15:40 |
| mgedmin | there's also hwsymbols_common for the virtual keyboard panel you get when you press and release SYM with the hardware keyboard open | 15:41 |
| Venemo | 'gconftool -g /meegotouch/i18n/language' = en | 15:41 |
| mgedmin | and for regular virtual keyboard there's a bunch of $language_code.xml | 15:41 |
| mgedmin | it's nice that you can just add a new xx.xml and it'll become selectable in the text input settings | 15:42 |
| mgedmin | (after you restart meego-im-uiserver like I said above) | 15:42 |
| Venemo | ok | 15:42 |
| Venemo | mgedmin, must the characters be ሴ format or can I just use plain UTF8 characters there? | 15:43 |
| mgedmin | I used plain UTF-8 as you can see in the pastie I mentioned earlier | 15:44 |
| mgedmin | the nice thing about XML is that it has well-defined rules about dealing with Unicode | 15:44 |
| mgedmin | and defaults to UTF-8 | 15:44 |
| mgedmin | if I were to submit a patch upstream, I'd probably convert those into &#x...; to avoid mishaps | 15:44 |
| *** djszapi has left #harmattan | 15:45 | |

| djszapi | DocScrutinizer: find . -name automoc | 15:57 |
| mgedmin | without knowing what you edited and what you expected it's hard to say anything | 15:57 |
| DocScrutinizer | djszapi: NULL | 15:57 |
| Venemo | mgedmin, I used to add this http://pastebin.com/JPsdDU2g to the end of the rx-51 file on the N900 | 15:58 |
| Venemo | mgedmin, I changed rx-51 to rm-680 and tried to add it to the end of the rm-680 file | 15:59 |
| Venemo | mgedmin, then I used 'setxkbmap hu' as root and I got a totally different layout | 15:59 |
| mgedmin | yeah, the hardware key layout is probably totally different | 15:59 |
| Venemo | I mean, I got a totally different layout from what I wanted. | 16:00 |
| tomma | Venemo, there are already defined buttons for fn+left/right/up/down | 16:00 |
| Venemo | tomma, what are they? | 16:00 |
| mgedmin | I mean those <AB02> in the xkb file are physical key positions | 16:00 |
| tomma | home end pgup pgdown | 16:00 |
| tomma | i think | 16:00 |
| mgedmin | and they're probably totally different on a n950 than on a n900 | 16:00 |
| rm_you | brb | 16:00 |
| mgedmin | for one, 4 rows instead of 3 | 16:00 |
| mgedmin | I wouldn't expect a n900 keymap to work well on a n950 | 16:01 |
| *** smoku has quit IRC | 16:01 | |
| Venemo | mgedmin, not just that my modifications didn't work, but they triggered a totally different behavior of the keys. e.g the *ALL* the symbols changed (even which are not in this file) etc. | 16:01 |
| mgedmin | include "nokia_vndr/rx-51(english_base)" | 16:01 |
| Venemo | [14:59] <Venemo> mgedmin, I changed rx-51 to rm-680 and tried to add it to the end of the rm-680 file | 16:01 |
| mgedmin | ah, hm, interesting | 16:02 |
| *** fiferboy has joined #harmattan | 16:02 | |
| Venemo | so I added it as include "nokia_vndr/rm-680(english_base)" | 16:02 |
| *** smoku has joined #harmattan | 16:02 | |
| mgedmin | hm hm hm hm | 16:02 |
| mgedmin | oh, did you notice the comments in that file? | 16:02 |
| mgedmin | / setxkbmap -model nokiarm680 -layout us | 16:02 |
| Venemo | hmm | 16:03 |
| mgedmin | maybe just 'setxkbmap XX' is going to load the wrong file? | 16:03 |
| Venemo | I didn't add the -model parameter | 16:03 |
| Venemo | that is correct | 16:03 |
| djszapi | rZr: ping | 16:03 |
| mgedmin | and I see there already exists a "hu" section | 16:03 |
| Venemo | heh | 16:03 |
| mgedmin | how does XKB handle two sections with the same name? I dunno | 16:03 |
| Venemo | they planned to release it to Hungary before it was scrapped? | 16:04 |

| khertan | pffff which lose of time this qt quick component | 16:55 |

| lardman | any thoughts for a replacement for qmaemo5informationbox ? | 16:57 |
| lardman | for debugging purposes rather than keeping to the UI guidelines | 16:57 |
| khertan | lardman, this is the yellow box that appear in the center of screen ? | 16:58 |
| lardman | khertan: yes, though I think it's the bar at the top actually | 16:58 |
| lardman | but that's probably the same fn call | 16:58 |
| rm_work | so anyone fix the homescreen rotation yet? :P | 16:58 |
| *** djszapi has left #harmattan | 16:58 | |
| khertan | lardman, let me verify but i found something similar in qml component | 16:59 |
| lardman | thanks khertan | 16:59 |
| * lardman was trying to avoid QML for the time being | 16:59 | |
| lardman | but I guess I'll need to make the jump sooner rather than later | 16:59 |
| khertan | lardman : http://doc.qt.nokia.com/qt-components-symbian-1.0/qml-infobanner.html | 17:01 |
| lardman | thanks khertan | 17:01 |
| khertan | it s nammed info banner in the second qmlcompo.... application there is example in your n950 | 17:01 |
| lardman | cool | 17:02 |
| lardman | any good docs available yet talking about porting from a C++ app to a QML one? | 17:02 |
| khertan | the doc is mark as symbian but it s the same in most case for harmattan | 17:02 |
| khertan | lardman, qml clearly miss documentation | 17:02 |
| lardman | hmm, not ideal | 17:02 |
| lardman | wholesale re-writes required for anything with a vaguely complex ui then I guess | 17:03 |
| *** hardaker has joined #harmattan | 17:04 | |

| khertan | and on the other side all android dev call that fragmentation :) | 17:10 |
| lardman | So do we see much point in re-writing things to use QML? | 17:22 |
| lardman | I understand the arguments for it re multi-platform and quick changes to uis | 17:22 |
| lardman | but if you only support one platform.... | 17:22 |
| rm_work | so, no luck on migrating conversations yet? | 17:25 |

| *** xerxes2 has quit IRC | 17:28 | |
| fiferboy | lardman: Qt Components should eliminate entire UI rewrites, although there may still be tweaking for different platforms/resolutions/UI paradigms | 17:29 |
| lardman | Well the components perhaps, but you still need to rewrite the javascript afaiu? | 17:29 |
| fiferboy | You can have the QML interface connect to your C++ backend, and the backend can be the same for every platform (AFAICT) | 17:30 |
| lardman | yeah I get that bit | 17:30 |
| khertan | <fiferboy> lardman: Qt Components should eliminate entire UI rewrites, <<< mouhahaha | 17:31 |
| lardman | it's whether it's worth re-writing the backend, or at least plumbing it for Qt Component use if it's only for one platform? | 17:31 |
| fiferboy | lardman: My app has a very simple QML frontend and a very simple C++ backend | 17:32 |
| fiferboy | The interaction between the two is simple enough to not be a burden | 17:32 |
| lardman | in the case of mBarcode it probably is as then other people could use the decoder easily, but just as a general question | 17:32 |
| lardman | s/is/is worth rewriting | 17:32 |
| lardman | but it will also be a pita | 17:33 |
| rm_work | lardman: ooo mBarcode | 17:33 |
| rm_work | I am still interested in making a useful UI for that | 17:33 |
| rm_work | as in like, uses a UPC backend | 17:33 |
| fiferboy | lardman: If you are only targetting Harmattan with an application then I guess it wouldn't pay to abstract the interface | 17:33 |
| rm_work | like I did for the old one | 17:33 |
| lardman | well backend plugins are easy to write | 17:33 |
| rm_work | yeah | 17:33 |
| lardman | and will remain the same | 17:33 |
| lardman | though will need to do some tweaking to get the ical/vcard stuff working perhaps | 17:34 |
| lardman | ah well, it will give me something to do this evening now that I've got all the deps downloaded | 17:34 |
| lardman | just need to remove/replace the maemo5-isations so I can check it runs, then move onto componentising it | 17:35 |
| fiferboy | lardman: Where would the fun be if we could just go on using the same familiar technologies all the time? :) | 17:35 |
| lardman | fiferboy: indeed, why stand on the shoulders of anyone when one can go back to first principles every time ;) | 17:35 |
| fiferboy | lardman: Are you trying to run a QWidget based application in Harmattan? | 17:36 |
| lardman | I was hoping to | 17:37 |
| lardman | at least to check that the camera subsystem is working, etc | 17:37 |
| fiferboy | lardman: I have had some success with that (in scratchbox), but as you say the Maemo5 stuff has to go | 17:38 |
| fiferboy | scratchbox was a bit weird about theming a few things, like combo boxes, so it is hard to tell if there is a complete QWidget theme | 17:38 |
| lardman | oh, I've never bothered running anything with a gui in sb, I guess I'll just try on-device as usual | 17:39 |
| fiferboy | That is probably a good idea | 17:40 |

| tomma | anyone know what did i broke... dpkg says: status database area is locked by another process, application manager tells me "No software installations" | 18:39 |
| Venemo | does a reboot help it? | 18:40 |
| tomma | nope | 18:40 |
| tomma | it could be some lock file was left after i tried to refresh updates with application manager... | 18:41 |

| tomma | "no software installations" in application manager | 18:46 |
| alterego | It's annoying I can't marl my ddp as complete from the device. | 18:51 |
| Venemo | alterego, 'marl' ? | 18:52 |
| Venemo | alterego, aah, mark | 18:52 |
| Venemo | yeah, it can't do HTTPS so you can't login to meego.com | 18:52 |
| Scifig | wait, harmattan browser can't do HTTPS? | 18:55 |
| flux | I guess he means the app manager? | 18:56 |
| Scifig | oh ok | 18:56 |
| flux | venemo, tried using .netrc? not sure where to place it though.. | 18:56 |
| flux | or is it a certificate issue? | 18:56 |
| GAN900 | It's here. | 18:56 |
| Scifig | GAN900 - Congrats. My is still on the way from LA | 18:57 |
| Venemo | flux, go to https://meego.com and see | 18:57 |
| Venemo | flux, it is some handshake issue | 18:57 |
| fiferboy | Mine got delivered to my house, but alas I am at work | 19:02 |

| Venemo | achipa, I think I found a bug | 19:16 |
| Venemo | achipa, could you tell me that it's not a bug, just my lack of knowledge? | 19:16 |
| GAN900 | Man, the browser is so shit. | 19:17 |
| Venemo | achipa, I have hooked my own eventhandler to the onOrientationChangeStarted of my PageStackWindow, and it doesn't get triggered when the app is rotated while in the "Open applications" homescreen | 19:18 |
| Venemo | GAN900, what about it? | 19:18 |
| GeneralAntilles | Venemo, insta-crash on half the pages I've tried to load so far. | 19:19 |
| Venemo | GeneralAntilles, ah... | 19:19 |
| Venemo | yeah, it's kinda beta | 19:19 |
| Venemo | plus it can't do HTTPS | 19:19 |
| GeneralAntilles | The lack of landscape in most stuff is incredibly irritating when the device has a keyboard. | 19:20 |
| Venemo | GeneralAntilles, I found it delighting that at least someone agrees with me :) | 19:20 |
| *** smoku has quit IRC | 19:21 | |
| mgedmin | can the n950 media player play internet radio? | 19:25 |
| Venemo | mgedmin, I think not | 19:27 |
| Venemo | GeneralAntilles, btw, with some trickery you can trigger landscape mode in the home screens | 19:28 |
| GeneralAntilles | Can't figure out how to get the Qt SDK to use the device as its target | 19:28 |
| GeneralAntilles | Even though I set up the device with the SDK. | 19:28 |
| *** javispedro has joined #harmattan | 19:28 | |
| Venemo | GeneralAntilles, go to Projects, then Harmattan, then in the Run step, select your device | 19:28 |
| Venemo | GeneralAntilles, also, go to Tools/Options/Maemo and mark your device the default for Harmattan projects | 19:29 |
| GeneralAntilles | Not in the list. | 19:29 |
| GeneralAntilles | Already did that. | 19:29 |
| javispedro | GeneralAntilles, hah, congrats | 19:29 |
| Venemo | GeneralAntilles, Projects/Harmattan/Run/Deploy to device | 19:29 |
| javispedro | GeneralAntilles, so, impressed by tearfree scrolling? :) | 19:29 |
| javispedro | or has nokia managed to kill your optimism (again)? ;) | 19:30 |
| GeneralAntilles | The scrolling is nice. | 19:30 |
| GeneralAntilles | But damn this w22 firmware is shit. | 19:30 |
| GeneralAntilles | Untranslated strings all over the place. | 19:30 |
| javispedro | indeed | 19:31 |
| javispedro | the latest "feature" I'm experience is that after a few hours of uptime thumbnails tend to disappear in task switcher | 19:31 |
| javispedro | *ing | 19:31 |

| *** antman8969 has quit IRC | 19:32 | |
| GeneralAntilles | Venemo, ah, genius. Thanks. | 19:32 |
| GeneralAntilles | I recall doing that for Fremantle now. | 19:32 |
| *** cpscotti has joined #harmattan | 19:33 | |
| Venemo | GeneralAntilles, that is what I told :P | 19:33 |
| Venemo | GeneralAntilles, you're welcome :) | 19:33 |
| GeneralAntilles | Moments in Competence this morning. | 19:33 |
| gri | Venemo: Did you manage to get the qml designer in windows working with qt-components? (I don't think it's possible) | 19:48 |
| Venemo | gri, I don't use the designer | 19:51 |
| Venemo | gri, you should be fine with the source editor though | 19:53 |
| Scifig | GeneralAntilles, Are you on AT&T? | 19:53 |
| GeneralAntilles | Yes | 19:56 |
| GAN900 | Definitely going to be carrying two devices for the the time being | 19:57 |
| Venemo | GAN900, we should get Nokia to release a new image for us... | 19:57 |
| Scifig | GeneralAntilles, Is AT&T 3G working fine with N950? | 19:58 |
| *** piggz has joined #harmattan | 19:59 | |
| GeneralAntilles | Scifig, I assume so, haven't left the house yet, though. | 19:59 |
| * javispedro waits for GeneralAntilles' "sucks or not" n950 review | 19:59 | |
| DocScrutinizer | GeneralAntilles: press ctrl-shift-L for better translations ;-) | 19:59 |
| Venemo | the hinge seems to be slightly weaker than the N97's or E7's | 19:59 |
| * Scifig is waiting for the DHL guy to knock on the door | 19:59 | |
| GeneralAntilles | I hate the keyboard right now. | 20:00 |
| * javispedro concurs | 20:00 | |
| GeneralAntilles | But I hated the N900 keyboard at first, too, so hope it gets better. | 20:00 |
| Venemo | DocScrutinizer, OH NOO... Hungarian translations are crappier than I expected... | 20:00 |
| Venemo | GeneralAntilles, you'll get used to it in a week | 20:00 |
| javispedro | spaniards are average, there's missing text all over the place but nothing awful. | 20:01 |
| Venemo | GeneralAntilles, after you apply the trick to get the homescreens into landscape, it's not that bad | 20:01 |
| DocScrutinizer | shift+ctrl+B also makes for a cute effect ;-) | 20:01 |
| Venemo | DocScrutinizer, what? what's this green stuff? | 20:02 |
| DocScrutinizer | shift+ctrl+S might actually be useful | 20:02 |
| DocScrutinizer | shift+ctrl+M maybe too | 20:03 |
| Venemo | hmm | 20:03 |
| piggz | what the latest n950 news today?? | 20:04 |
| DocScrutinizer | in settings s+c+M makes a nice gtaphical effect ;-D | 20:04 |
| GeneralAntilles | I guess DNLA music doesn't work? | 20:05 |
| Venemo | GeneralAntilles, it should | 20:06 |
| Venemo | GeneralAntilles, but I haven't had the chance to test | 20:06 |
| Venemo | DocScrutinizer, seems to be only working with MTF apps | 20:07 |
| DocScrutinizer | yup | 20:08 |
| DocScrutinizer | alas ALL the kbd shortcuts seem to work only with MTF apps. Maybe except Fn+BS and Ctrl+Q | 20:08 |
| Venemo | after a few days of usage, I must say that the hinge is definitely not the strong point of the device | 20:09 |
| DocScrutinizer | HAH | 20:09 |
| Venemo | it still works great, but it wobbles a little bit when the device is closed | 20:10 |
| *** djszapi_ has joined #harmattan | 20:10 | |
| Venemo | this device was definitely not designed for opening the keyboard as many times as I open it... but I will be content if it remains in its current state for a few months :) | 20:10 |
| DocScrutinizer | this hinge definitley won't survivie any proper droptest - the less when opened | 20:11 |
| Venemo | haha | 20:11 |
| djszapi_ | Hi! Does anybody have idea about an "rpc" timeout on c-obs (Harmattan target). It sometimes happens with innocent packages, and at some point it starts working without any change in the repository. | 20:11 |
| DocScrutinizer | what HAHA | 20:11 |
| djszapi_ | For instance: https://build.pub.meego.com/package/live_build_log?arch=armv7el&package=kdelibs&project=home%3Adjszapi&repository=MeeGo_1.2_Harmattan | 20:11 |
| gri | The keyboard is also not designed for using in the dark since it lacks backlight :( | 20:11 |
| DocScrutinizer | droptests are a normal part of PV evaluation | 20:11 |
| Venemo | mhm | 20:11 |
| DocScrutinizer | and even part of device property specs | 20:11 |
| Venemo | so maybe there is some truth in the rumor that the hinge is why they're not selling it? | 20:11 |
| GeneralAntilles | gri, has a backlight here. | 20:12 |
| DocScrutinizer | gri: WUT? | 20:12 |
| *** vandenoever has joined #harmattan | 20:12 | |
| gri | hmm, maybe mine is not working | 20:12 |
| Venemo | when half opened and you look at it from the back side, you can actually see that only a few centimetres of plastic is holding it together. | 20:12 |
| DocScrutinizer | Venemo: see my photos of hinge on OVI | 20:13 |
| DocScrutinizer | that's why I took them | 20:13 |
| Venemo | DocScrutinizer, I see now... I'm referring to this one: http://share.ovi.com/media/joerg900.public/joerg900.10151 | 20:14 |
| *** xerxes2 has joined #harmattan | 20:15 | |
| DocScrutinizer | gri: mce which is controlling indicator-, kbd-backlight- et-al-LEDs, is definitely not thoroughly tested and optimized for N950 | 20:18 |
| DocScrutinizer | OCH! the hinge bites back! | 20:19 |
| DocScrutinizer | tekaed my finger :-P | 20:19 |
| piggz | what do do tonight.....everytrail app for maemo/meego-ce, or get spaceinvaders into obs for Jaffa ... hopefully both, time allowing | 20:19 |
| DocScrutinizer | tweaked* | 20:19 |
| Venemo | DocScrutinizer, :D | 20:19 |
| *** javispedro has quit IRC | 20:22 | |
| DocScrutinizer | spaceinvaders \o/ | 20:23 |
| DocScrutinizer | Is there already a midnight commander on any repo? | 20:24 |
| DocScrutinizer | tail -n 2 /etc/mce/mce-radio-states.ini | 20:26 |
| gri | DocScrutinizer: the indicator light only works when charging for me - do you also have a light on email / sms / call notification? | 20:27 |
| DocScrutinizer | I got no email/sms/call | 20:28 |
| DocScrutinizer | but device looks rather dead when sitting there with screen off, yeah | 20:28 |
| DocScrutinizer | unless charging | 20:28 |
| Venemo | gri, nope | 20:28 |
| DocScrutinizer | haha, mce.ini has >>PowerKeyShortAction=tklock-lock<< still for me powerbutton also unlocks | 20:30 |
| piggz | DocScrutinizer: have you not got spaceinvaders already on your n950?? according to my logs, approx half of n950 users should have it.. | 20:31 |
| piggz | cat access_log | grep pgz-spaceinvaders_0_3_8 | grep GET | wc -l | 20:31 |
| piggz | 128 | 20:31 |
| Venemo | piggz, there are no 128 N950 users yet | 20:31 |
| Venemo | at least not even 100 people got their devices yet from the meego.com program | 20:32 |
| Stskeeps | plus the ones outside it.. | 20:32 |
| Stskeeps | :P | 20:32 |
| gri | minus one since I haven't downloaded it | 20:32 |
| piggz | ah well, some obviously have downloaded it and cant use it....as i only have 30 followers on twitter that would know about it directly, most downloads must have came from retweets | 20:33 |
| *** djszapi_ has left #harmattan | 20:38 | |
| *** harbaum has joined #harmattan | 20:44 | |
| DocScrutinizer | gri: Venemo: well, in mce.ini there's a PatternCommunicationAndBatteryFull and a CombinationCommunicationAndBatteryFull and also a PatternCommunication, but no PatternEmail or PatternSMS or PatternIM | 20:44 |
| DocScrutinizer | you'd have to use dbus-monitor to check which pattern gets requested on missed-call, SMS, mail etc, and define the proper Pattern in mce.ini | 20:45 |
| Venemo | DocScrutinizer, the LED is so faint anyway that I couldn't care less | 20:45 |
| DocScrutinizer | indeed | 20:45 |
| Venemo | and non-colorful | 20:46 |
| DocScrutinizer | I don't plan to use this device for my everyday phone anyway, so what... | 20:46 |
| gri | Yeah, mce source looks like it's only white | 20:46 |
| DocScrutinizer | # Patterns used for the RM-680/RM-690 hardware; | 20:47 |
| DocScrutinizer | # this hardware has a single-colour LED connected to a Lysti controller | 20:47 |
| DocScrutinizer | according to mce.ini RM-680/690 are devices with several LEDs ergo with KBD, while RM-696 has a controller for a single LED | 20:49 |
| Venemo | wut is RM-690? | 20:50 |
| Venemo | just another cancelled prototype thing? | 20:50 |
| Venemo | also, why are the new devices not RX-* | 20:54 |
| *** rZr has quit IRC | 20:56 | |
| achipa | mgedmin: internet radio is a go, but not via the music app. Just open a .m3u from the web or whereever and it will work fine | 20:57 |

| *** Scifig has quit IRC | 21:11 | |
| Venemo | DocScrutinizer, do I need to run that as root? | 21:11 |
| GeneralAntilles | How can it not have UPnP? | 21:11 |
| DocScrutinizer | Venemo: I guess the LED *could* get brighter than it's now | 21:11 |
| GeneralAntilles | That's so obnoxious. | 21:11 |
| DocScrutinizer | Venemo: definitely not | 21:12 |
| Venemo | ok | 21:12 |
| DocScrutinizer | Venemo: please run a dbus-montor --system >sys.log ; and a dbus-monotor --session >sess.log | 21:13 |
| DocScrutinizer | both from user | 21:13 |
| *** Scifig_ has quit IRC | 21:13 | |
| Venemo | ok, do I need to do anything in particular while the dbus-monitor is running? | 21:13 |
| DocScrutinizer | post both files for me, and I'll see what can be done | 21:13 |
| Venemo | eg. make myself a missed call? | 21:13 |
| DocScrutinizer | yes, that would help A LOT | 21:14 |
| DocScrutinizer | :-) | 21:14 |
| DocScrutinizer | also send a SMS, and a mail | 21:14 |
| Venemo | ok. | 21:14 |
| DocScrutinizer | wait a minute... | 21:15 |
| Venemo | can't send myself an SMS (no credit on my other SIM), but I can send e-mail | 21:15 |
| DocScrutinizer | Venemo: do dbus-monitor --system|grep -B 1 -A 3 req_led_pattern_activate | 21:19 |
| Venemo | mail checking is due in 2 hours, so I can't make you a missed mail right now | 21:19 |
| DocScrutinizer | or just | 21:20 |
| Venemo | or will the desired effect happen if I just use the refresh button? | 21:20 |
| DocScrutinizer | dbus-monitor --system|grep -B 1 -A 3 req_led_pattern | 21:20 |
| DocScrutinizer | Venemo: I have no clue | 21:21 |
| DocScrutinizer | just run | 21:21 |
| DocScrutinizer | dbus-monitor --system|grep -B 1 -A 3 req_led_pattern >dbus.log | 21:21 |
| DocScrutinizer | for a day or two | 21:21 |
| GeneralAntilles | No IRC, no FBReader | 21:21 |
| GeneralAntilles | Pointlessness. | 21:21 |
| GeneralAntilles | I think I'll switch the SIM back tomorrow. | 21:21 |
| Venemo | YET | 21:21 |
| DocScrutinizer | tbh I'm more than puzzled about ANY LED for RM-696 | 21:23 |
| Venemo | DocScrutinizer, http://sources.venemo.net/harmattan/for_doc/ | 21:23 |
| rm_work | GeneralAntilles: lol | 21:23 |
| DocScrutinizer | AIUI N9 has *no* indicator LED | 21:23 |
| Venemo | DocScrutinizer, the sess-* is the dbus-monitor --session the sys-* is the dbus-monitor --system | 21:24 |
| rm_work | GeneralAntilles: compile xchat for the time-being, then write a good irc client for it :P | 21:24 |
| rm_work | GeneralAntilles: someone should be able to make xchat from fremantle work | 21:24 |
| Venemo | quassel is on its way | 21:24 |
| Venemo | xchat... well, that needs GTK too... which is... umm... :( | 21:25 |
| Venemo | DocScrutinizer, is it of any use? | 21:25 |
| DocScrutinizer | Venemo: YAHOO, *no* dbus-msg to mce about any LED pattern | 21:25 |
| kimju | DocScrutinizer, the n9 could propably use its oled display for indicators without lighting full backlight as would be required on n950? | 21:26 |
| Venemo | DocScrutinizer, humm | 21:26 |
| Venemo | DocScrutinizer, maybe I didn't shut down the display for one of them? hm. | 21:26 |
| DocScrutinizer | so the missed-calls handler doesn't even bother to _send_ any signal | 21:26 |
| DocScrutinizer | kimju: exactly | 21:27 |
| Venemo | rm_work, as for xchat: 'dpkg -l | grep gtk' is empty | 21:27 |
| rm_work | lol well | 21:28 |
| Venemo | DocScrutinizer, signal sender=:1.46 -> dest=(null destination) serial=184 path=/Call; interface=Com.Nokia.Telephony.CallUi; member=CallEnded | 21:28 |
| DocScrutinizer | kimju: I don't see how mce is controlling this via a NJoy aka LP5521 controller | 21:28 |
| rm_work | yeah would need to rebuild the UI on QT | 21:28 |
| rm_work | but i'm sure there's a QT IRC that would work if compiled | 21:28 |
| *** gri has joined #harmattan | 21:29 | |
| Venemo | there is... | 21:29 |
| Venemo | maybe | 21:30 |
| fiferboy | GeneralAntilles: I'll send you my FBReader compile once I package up the missing libraries | 21:30 |
| DocScrutinizer | Venemo: (xchat, gtk) that's been the point where I cleared the xchat topic from my stack yesterday | 21:30 |
| fiferboy | *Warning* very untested | 21:30 |
| kimju | has anyone managed to get cursor key events out of the vkb? | 21:30 |
| DocScrutinizer | Venemo: (member=CallEnded) errr, yes? So what ? | 21:31 |
| Venemo | so it does send a signal, only not to MCE | 21:32 |
| Venemo | so... one can make a daemon that listens to this signal, checks whether the screen is off, and then just sends the necessary stuff to MCE | 21:34 |
| Venemo | hm... if only I could run dbus-explorer on the device... :P | 21:34 |
| harbaum | what's the "grue" plugin doing? | 21:36 |
| DocScrutinizer | Venemo: you're right, fremantle as well doesn't see a com.nokia.mce /com/nokia/mce/request com.nokia.mce.request.req_led_pattern_activate string:"PatternCallMissed" or similar signal when I test it there | 21:36 |
| Venemo | DocScrutinizer, are you aware of any app that has the functionality of dbus-explorer and can be compiled for N950? | 21:37 |
| DocScrutinizer | what is dbus-explorer? | 21:41 |
| DocScrutinizer | you think of mdbus2? | 21:41 |
| harbaum | I think someone here posted a trick to detect Meego in qmake/.pro file. What was that trick? | 21:42 |
| Venemo | DocScrutinizer, dbus-explorer is a graphical app which lets you "browse" all the D-Bus serives and their interfaces in a tree view, and it even lets you call the specific methods | 21:43 |
| achipa | DocScrutinizer: AFAIK N9 has an indicator led, even a bit bigger/more prominent than the N950 | 21:44 |
| DocScrutinizer | Venemo: check mdbus2 on m5 | 21:46 |
| DocScrutinizer | maybe you could compile it for m6 | 21:46 |
| DocScrutinizer | Venemo: iirc mdbus1 even was in python | 21:46 |
| DocScrutinizer | shit, my N900 starts acting funny | 21:47 |
| Stskeeps | it's jealous | 21:47 |
| Venemo | funny in what way? | 21:47 |
| DocScrutinizer | seems the stresstest with 2h concurrent mappero and marble was too much for it | 21:48 |
| Venemo | are you surprised in any way? | 21:48 |
| DocScrutinizer | it blanks screen (black screen with full backlight) and only freshly rendered elements show up for some time, then vanish again | 21:49 |
| DocScrutinizer | nothing in syslog ;-P | 21:50 |
| Venemo | hmm | 21:53 |
| Venemo | reboot? | 21:53 |
| *** lbt has joined #harmattan | 21:54 | |
| harbaum | thp: ping! | 21:55 |
| harbaum | i am surprised: my qml app doesn't rotate ... | 22:00 |
| harbaum | do i need some special magic to have my app rotate? | 22:01 |
| Venemo | harbaum, what kind of QML app is it? | 22:01 |
| harbaum | ?? Just a qml app | 22:01 |
| Venemo | do you use the MeeGo Qt Components with it? | 22:01 |
| harbaum | nope | 22:01 |
| harbaum | just my own ones | 22:02 |
| Venemo | in that case, you may need to take care of it yourself, and I dunno how | 22:02 |
| harbaum | my app can properly handle width < height if you mean that | 22:02 |
| harbaum | it just doesn't rotate at all | 22:02 |
| fiferboy | harbaum: You might have to listen for a window size change signal | 22:03 |
| fiferboy | There is an orientation start/stop/about to start signal with the Qt Components | 22:03 |
| Venemo | haha | 22:03 |
| Venemo | and about to start doesn't work when the app rotates in the task switcher | 22:04 |
| Venemo | haven't tested the others | 22:04 |
| fiferboy | Venemo: Good to know (haven't tested on device yet) | 22:04 |
| Venemo | fiferboy, either it's a bug in the components or I use it in a bad manner... but it rotates when the app is in the front. | 22:04 |
| harbaum | i can't believe it, i have rewritten my gui in qml and that is also not fully supported and i need to start from scratch once more using qt components? | 22:05 |
| fiferboy | Venemo: I _think_ I heard that task switcher thumbnails always use a portrait layout | 22:06 |
| fiferboy | Venemo: Jaffa could probably confirm | 22:06 |
| Venemo | fiferboy, nope... at least if you enable the landscape mode for the homescreens | 22:07 |
| Stskeeps | harbaum: http://www.developer.nokia.com/Community/Wiki/Implementing_orientation_change_animation_with_QML | 22:07 |
| Stskeeps | or something | 22:07 |
| fiferboy | Venemo: Ah, maybe it is the homescreen orientation that was previously locking it | 22:08 |
| Venemo | fiferboy, that is is | 22:08 |
| DocScrutinizer | Venemo: about to boot, first took a video for you :-) | 22:13 |
| DocScrutinizer | share to OVI is slow like geotectonics another time, well it's enormous 50MB | 22:13 |
| harbaum | Stskeeps: Thanks, will dig into that | 22:14 |
| *** khertan has quit IRC | 22:16 | |
| DocScrutinizer51 | Venemo: boot seems did help | 22:18 |
| spenap | hey, anyone using QML knows how to access the preferred system values for font sizes, colors, etc? There are some javascript files which contain that, but I don't know if I should import them directly (and how to do it) | 22:19 |
| spenap | in /usr/lib/qt4/imports/com/nokia/extras/UIConstants.js, for example | 22:19 |
| *** harbaum has quit IRC | 22:21 | |
| Venemo | DocScrutinizer51 :) | 22:22 |
| gri | spenap: I was looking for the same thing: http://qt.gitorious.org/qt-components/qt-components/blobs/master/src/meego/plugin.cpp#line147 | 22:26 |
| gri | but I always get "Can't find variable: UiConstants" when trying to use it :( | 22:27 |
| spenap | gri, then I don't see the problem with copying the interesting parts from their JS to mine :) | 22:27 |
| gri | why copy? | 22:28 |
| spenap | mmm | 22:28 |
| spenap | is there a way to import a javascript library with some non-absolute path? | 22:28 |
| spenap | or is «import "/usr/lib/qt4/imports/com/nokia/extras/UIConstants.js" as NokiaUI» the right way? | 22:29 |
| Venemo | if you don't mind being platform specific | 22:29 |
| spenap | that's the thing: I don't like that, but also copying the values doesn't look too portable | 22:30 |
| ieatlint | Stskeeps: it's interesting that link you posted about detecting orientation change in QML.. | 22:30 |
| ieatlint | those instructions are severely flawed | 22:30 |
| Stskeeps | oh god, i didn't paste porn by accident did i | 22:30 |
| ieatlint | as the documentation for qt-mobility states "The orientation sensor reports the orientation of the device. As it operates below the UI level it does not report on or even know how the UI is rotated. Most importantly this means that this sensor cannot be used to detect if a device is in portrait or landscape mode." | 22:31 |
| gri | spenap: If the cpp plugin would work, there wouldn't be a need to use the constants. Label { font: UiConstants.TitleFont } should do the trick - but it doesn't :( | 22:31 |
| *** smoku has joined #harmattan | 22:31 | |
| ieatlint | it also has a slower polling rate, and will cause delays in rotation | 22:31 |
| ieatlint | the classic way to detect is to watch for resize events, and then test if w > h, which will tell you if it's landscape/portrait and also always be in line with what the phone decides the orientation is | 22:33 |
| spenap | gri, yeah, so javascript then | 22:33 |
| gri | spenap: The javascript has no information about fonts etc. qt-components seems to use both | 22:33 |
| spenap | gri, check /usr/lib/qt4/imports/com/nokia/extras/UIConstants.js | 22:34 |
| gri | ups | 22:34 |
| gri | wrong | 22:34 |
| gri | So I don't understand why they have both constants "files" | 22:36 |
| spenap | I guess that they don't have an unified approach yet | 22:37 |
| gri | looks like both are barely used inside qt-components itself | 22:41 |
| spenap | I'm asking in qt-qml atm | 22:41 |
| spenap | gri, they tell me that there's no official approach at the moment.. | 22:42 |
| gri | nice, so your approach with copying is the safest one :) | 22:43 |
| spenap | well, I'll be importing those files as UIConstants or the like, not copying them | 22:45 |
| gri | spenap: Where is the path from? in scratchbox it's com/meego/UIConstants.js | 22:50 |
| spenap | oh | 22:51 |
| spenap | ¬¬ that's way better | 22:51 |
| spenap | I was wondering how to do that | 22:51 |
| spenap | where did you learn it? | 22:51 |
| gri | huh? I just shortened the path, in scratchbox I don't have a /usr/lib/qt4/imports/com/nokia/extras/UIConstants.js | 22:52 |
| spenap | oh, well. I thought you could refer to a JS library in some short way, and that it would be automatically resolved. I don't know why you don't have it | 22:54 |
| gri | instead I have a /usr/lib/qt4/imports/com/nokia/meego/UIConstants.js and a /usr/lib/qt4/imports/com/meego/UIConstants.js | 22:57 |
| gri | (the directories' contents are equal) | 22:58 |
| spenap | gri, if you check with «dpkg -L qt-components», doesn't it contain this /extras directory? mine does | 22:59 |
| *** javispedro has joined #harmattan | 23:00 | |
| gri | spenap: I have the extras directory but it only contains a "constants.js" which is something different to "UIConstants.js" and the directory also contains only a few components like Tumbler, ListButton, CountBubble .. | 23:01 |
| spenap | ah, then maybe I just messed it up. Both "constants" files are useful. While the UIConstants one has font sizes, margins and the like, this Constants inside extras has list sizes and colors for the main and secondary text | 23:03 |
| Jaffa | fiferboy: Venemo: pong | 23:11 |
| *** GeneralAntilles has quit IRC | 23:13 | |
| fiferboy | Jaffa: Do you still have the problem with task manager thumbnails being portrait-only? | 23:19 |
| fiferboy | Jaffa: Or did the landscape homescreen trick fix that | 23:19 |
| Venemo | Jaffa, hm? | 23:23 |
| fiferboy | Venemo: In our talk of task switcher earlier I invoked the aid of Jaffa | 23:24 |
| Venemo | fiferboy, aah. | 23:24 |
| Jaffa | fiferboy: I haven't done the landscape homescreen trick just so I could test it | 23:28 |
| Jaffa | fiferboy: Since I'm fullscreen and decided to drop the status bar, I can access "platformWindow" whether I'm Qt Components or not. So I'm no longer going to use Qt Components for Attitude | 23:28 |
| *** GeneralAntilles has joined #harmattan | 23:28 | |
| fiferboy | Jaffa: Ah, and the thumbnail orientation isn't an issue for raw QML programs? | 23:30 |
| Jaffa | fiferboy: Correct | 23:30 |
| javispedro | for raw X11 programs the system assumes landscape | 23:31 |
| *** cpscotti has joined #harmattan | 23:34 | |
| DocScrutinizer | piggz: twitter? what's that? | 23:38 |
| Venemo | Jaffa, hmm. what will Attitude do? | 23:38 |
| *** achipa has quit IRC | 23:39 | |
| Jaffa | Venemo: In terms of feature or behaviour on Harmattan? | 23:40 |
| Jaffa | Venemo: It's an orientation and (one day) compass app. Like an artifical horizon on a plane | 23:40 |
| Venemo | Jaffa, I just don't know what it is. | 23:40 |
| Venemo | Jaffa, aaah :) | 23:40 |
| *** achipa has joined #harmattan | 23:40 | |
| Venemo | Jaffa, sounds interesting :) | 23:40 |
| javispedro | not used Attitude?? | 23:40 |
| DocScrutinizer | you are all aware that NO app should try to detect physical orientation of device to determine landscape vs portrait? | 23:41 |
| javispedro | but it also has the honor of being one of the first N900 apps! ;) | 23:41 |
| Jaffa | javispedro: And one of the first N950 apps :-) | 23:41 |
| javispedro | note "also" ;) | 23:41 |
| Jaffa | :) | 23:41 |
| DocScrutinizer | there MUST be a system call provided by whatever middleware framework for that, where yu could plug in orientation locks etc | 23:41 |
| Venemo | Jaffa, memory-game is also one of the first N950 apps :) wanna try? :P | 23:42 |
| Jaffa | Venemo: http://forum.meego.com/showpost.php?p=24984&postcount=12 | 23:42 |
| SpeedEvil | For some things, that's flat out wrog. Not many though. | 23:42 |
| javispedro | DocScrutinizer: well, not sure about that | 23:42 |
| SpeedEvil | For example, AR | 23:42 |
| Jaffa | Venemo: Sure. Is it in OBS so I can track it with apt? :-) | 23:43 |
| Venemo | Jaffa, yours is the first, mine is only "one of the first" ;) | 23:43 |
| javispedro | for a start, I'm not sure such an API existed -- the fact that apps on task view get switched to portrait is a surprise to me | 23:43 |
| DocScrutinizer | SpeedEvil: that's been at me? AR is not dealing with portrait/landscape | 23:43 |
| Venemo | Jaffa, unfortunately I haven't a clue about OBS. some guy packaged an earlier version I think... maybe a few days ago, but that is obsolete now. I can point you to a .deb though. | 23:43 |
| Jaffa | Venemo: That'll do | 23:43 |
| Venemo | Jaffa, http://sources.venemo.net/harmattan/ | 23:44 |
| Jaffa | Venemo: http://wiki.meego.com/Getting_started_with_OBS and http://forum.meego.com/showpost.php?p=24047&postcount=15 might help | 23:44 |
| Venemo | thx :) | 23:44 |
| DocScrutinizer | SpeedEvil: quite obviously a spirit level wouldn't want to bother about the virtual partrait/landscape orientation of the middleware either | 23:44 |
| deimos | why I can't set Button "width" and other qml values ? What I am doing wrong ? | 23:46 |
| DocScrutinizer | ther has to be one central data source that provides orientation of user in relation to device, as that's the only thing that matters regarding L/P | 23:46 |
| Venemo | Jaffa, I'll read it as soon as I'm finished with the crapwork I'm doing now (non-N950-related paid work) | 23:46 |
| javispedro | DocScrutinizer: you'd be surprised about how rotation works in harmattan | 23:47 |
| DocScrutinizer | I mean the user could even do a handstand | 23:47 |
| DocScrutinizer | it's absolute nonsense to unconditionally orient the screen so it points down == center of earth | 23:48 |
| DocScrutinizer | if a sufficient number of apps starts do do the wrong thing here (which is direct readout of accelerometer), then we end with a botch that overrides accelerometer data for a orientation lock, and with broken spirit-level apps etc | 23:50 |
| DocScrutinizer | s/do do/to do/ | 23:50 |
| infobot | DocScrutinizer meant: if a sufficient number of apps starts to do the wrong thing here (which is direct readout of accelerometer), then we end with a botch that overrides accelerometer data for a orientation lock, and with broken spirit-level apps etc | 23:50 |
| javispedro | that's already how it is now.. | 23:51 |
| DocScrutinizer | screen orientation is NOT accelerometer orientation. Don't use any direct accelerometer data for screen orientation. Define one data source that clearly states it is NOT always in sync with accelerometer and only to be used for L/P | 23:53 |

| DocScrutinizer | javispedro: well, bad enough. Maybe it's not too late to fix it | 23:55 |
| Venemo | okay! | 23:55 |
| Venemo | Seems that "Memory Game" does not fit into the app grid (too long) | 23:56 |
| Venemo | so, I'm looking for a name for the app that fits there | 23:56 |
| Venemo | any ideas? | 23:56 |
| DocScrutinizer | it's as (sorry) idiotic a system architecture as if each app would manage its own screen brightness | 23:56 |
| DocScrutinizer | virtual orientation is a system domain task, definitely not an app domain task | 23:57 |
| SpeedEvil | Bad for power too, as all of the apps won't poll at the same time the accellerometer | 23:57 |
| DocScrutinizer | indeed | 23:57 |
| DocScrutinizer | complete nightmare, in several regards | 23:58 |
| Venemo | DocScrutinizer, just FYI, that is why there is the sensor framework. so sensorfw calculates the orientation with whatever voodoo magic and it tells the apps about it if the apps ask. | 23:58 |
| DocScrutinizer | Venemo: yes, that's how it should be | 23:58 |
| DocScrutinizer | apps MUST NOT use any other means to decide whether L or P. | 23:59 |
| DocScrutinizer | ~2119 | 23:59 |
| infobot | The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119. | 23:59 |
| GAN900 | They still have only one line on application names | 23:59 |
