DocScrutinizerwhatever THAT means then00:26
Arkenoimek: which one?00:26
MekArkenoi: the "Documents" icon00:26
Mek/usr/bin/office-tools00:26
*** leinir has quit IRC00:27
Arkenoiah. should try. it does not act as mime handler for ms office documents downloaded from web at least00:27
Mekit is supposed to...00:27
divanDocScrutinizer, ah.. so  this script is intended to be used within cleanup tool, and it simply waits until cud is finished00:27
Mekif it doesn't, that is a bug :)00:27
divanthough I agree the bash code is a bit weird00:28
DocScrutinizerdivan: looks like, and this tools sets a FILE FLAG ( ! :-o ) called /tmp/cud_finished00:28
divanDocScrutinizer, exctly00:29
* DocScrutinizer prefers -SIGINT or -SIGUSR100:29
*** leinir__ has joined #harmattan00:30
DocScrutinizerbut then they'd need to use "trap" and this isn't a very popular command in shell scripting, dunno why00:30
*** leinir_ has quit IRC00:30
mgedminhard to remember the syntax etc.00:31
mgedminI break out in shivers every time I think I may need to use trap in a shell scripy00:31
DocScrutinizertrap my-cleanup-function EXIT00:32

mgedminthanks to aegis, I'm learning to use aliases and functions again00:33

GeneralAntillesSlightly more narcissistic.02:20
SpeedEvilTwitter is useful.02:22
SpeedEvilIt's a multiplatform messaging system that works for even dumbphones.02:22
SpeedEvilThat lets you coordinate between people, make announcements and stuff, when they may have a computer, a smartphone, or a dumbphone.02:23

Ken-YoungA few days ago, I was told on this channel that to develop for the N950/N9 one should use QML.   But the Nokia documentation seems to assume one will use Qt/C++ .   What is the most standard way to write apps for Harmattan targets?06:37
MohammadAGwhatever you want06:41
MohammadAGQML with Qt Components is the most portable way06:41
MohammadAGMTF is the C++ way06:41
Ken-YoungWhat does MTF stand for?06:41
MohammadAGMeeGo Touch Framework06:42
Ken-YoungThanks06:42
GeneralAntillesMTF is deprecated.06:44
GeneralAntillesQt Components is the way to go.06:44
ScifigMohammadAG, Are you going to port Open Media Player to harmattan?06:45
MohammadAGyes06:46
MohammadAGit uses mafw anyway06:46
Scifigcool. You will use qmafw right? or the Glib based mafw?06:47
ScifigI am trying to understand mafw concepts. Open media player is a very good reference for that.06:48
MohammadAGno idea if I'll make a switch06:49
MohammadAGit needs a lot of coding06:49
*** hardaker has quit IRC06:49
ScifigYea mafw reminds me of telepathy :(06:49
MohammadAGit's actually way easier :p06:50
ScifigI wish :(  . I posted a question on maemo-devel? Can you take a look when you get a chance? http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.handhelds.maemo.devel/2840606:52
MohammadAGthat's the cleanest way06:53
MohammadAGthough I'd use qmafw / libmafw instead of listening to the (dbus) signals myself06:54
ScifigI want to move away from dbus signals too. And I didn't have much success on running a daemon with aegis either.06:55
ScifigFrom my questions u'd realize how clueless I'm with mafw.06:55
MohammadAGYeah it's not easy to get started with06:56
MohammadAGbut once you get the concepts, it's a bit fun06:56
MohammadAGI'll help out when I get my N950 if you want06:56
ScifigThanks a lot. I knew it would take time, so for the initial versions I am using dbus signals.06:57
ScifigWill contact you again later.06:58
ScifigWhats the status on your order anyway?06:58
MohammadAGIt's in Germany06:58
MohammadAGLeipzig (if I didn't misspell that)06:58
ScifigShould get it by monday then?06:58
MohammadAGhopefully yeah06:58
MohammadAGor Sunday06:58
MohammadAG(that's a workday in Israel)06:59
Scifigcool. Mine was stuck in Midlands, UK for a day for no apparent reason.06:59
MohammadAGcustoms maybe?07:00
ScifigNo it was just in transit. I am in US. It missed a flight or something :)07:00
MohammadAGAh, US07:01
MohammadAGhow long did it take to get there?07:01
ScifigLeft Finland 14th and delivered on 18th here07:03
Ken-YoungIf I am developing for Harmattan, should I be concerned about the fact that the "Device menu of the "Qt Simulator Control" in the Qt SDK does not list Harmattan as a target?   Must Harmattan compatibility be added to Qt Creator somehow after that SDK is downloaded?07:04
ScifigKen-Young, From Qt creator follow Help -> Start Updater --> Package Manager --> Experimental . Enable Harmattan07:06
Ken-YoungScifig, Thanks you.07:06
Ken-Youngs/Thanks/Thank/07:07
infobotKen-Young meant: Scifig, Thank you.07:07

RST38hrm_you: With broken stack. And I am not doing anything special, just creating a QApplication and QMainWindow and that's all09:33

RST38humgh09:48
RST38hwhat a mess...09:48
ArkenoiMfE works like charm. That suprised me much, I was completely sure that maemo bugs "WONTFIX util Harmattan" were just euphemism for "when the Hell freezes out"09:52
RST38hrm_you: DCC does not seem to work either =(09:53
RST38hNo, it worked after all!!!09:55
RST38hThanks, matching it against my code now09:56
RST38hArkenoi: YOu are not using a publicly available device, so essentially it is not fixed yet,even in harmattan (that anyone can use)09:57
ArkenoiRST38h: n9 is to be released to general public relatively soon09:58
Arkenoithough email client without hardware keyboard sucks09:59
* Arkenoi wonders if there will me more n950 manufactured and distributed after n9 release, the demand is enormous10:00
* Stskeeps is considering a n9 as he actually finds the OSK quite nice10:01
RST38hStskeeps!10:01
ArkenoiI fully understand now why n950 is not public, but most concerns will no longer be valid once harmattan will become "consumer grade"10:01
* RST38h glares at Stskeeps hungrily10:01
Stskeepsmorn rst38h10:01
RST38hArkenoi: opening/closing thing is somewhat flimsy, I can totally see consumers breaking it =)10:02
RST38hStskeeps: willing to help a little bit?10:02
antman8969I actually never use the keyboard (aside from the terminal). I think the onscreen is quite nice10:02
StskeepsRST38h: with what? :P10:03
RST38hStskeeps: Harmattan development.10:03
* Stskeeps doesn't really know much about harmattan10:03
RST38hOr Qt development, is this is more politically correct thing to say10:03
Stskeepsor qt, for that matter :P10:03
* Stskeeps is more of a low level person10:03
ArkenoiRST38h: I am going to the city in a few hours, will pick up dx crap at the post office and probably have a hour or two relatively free before 6pm10:03
antman8969with the apis we have... it's harmattan development ;)10:03
RST38hBut you must have encountered something like this10:03
ArkenoiRST38h: It does not look more fragile than e710:04
RST38hArkenoi: babysitting. this evening or tomorrow though.10:04
RST38hUnless of course family plans change. Besides, I am trying to make my stuff run under Harmattan at the moment, made a promise to have something ready in 2 weeks10:05
StskeepsRST38h: -graphicssystem raster helps anything?10:05
Stskeeps(yes, the qt library clones 'raster' and makes him do all the manual work)10:05
RST38hStskeeps: nah, coredumps on startup with it10:05
RST38hStskeeps: without it, coredumps when I go back into the app10:05
StskeepsMTF app?10:06
RST38hStskeeps: Plain Qt10:06
RST38hStskeeps: QApplication + QMainWindow + some controls, nothing more10:06

RST38hNo.10:16
RST38hAlthough Qt seems to use it10:16
RST38hStskeeps: http://pastebin.com/S47zzVzx10:17
RST38hStskeeps: When I go back to the apps menu,it says "...destroyed". When I go back into the app it says "...created", shows the app screen shortly, then dies10:18
RST38hgdb shows a crash inside Xlib, but the stack is broken, so no full stack trace10:18

Ken-YoungWhen I try to run a Harmattan project in Qt Creator, I get the message "Deployment failed: Qemu was not running.   It has now been started up for you, but it will take a bit of time until it is ready."    But Qemu has not been started.   Must I start Qemu manually before trying to run something in the SDK?   Must I download Qemu separately, or does it come with the SDK?10:37

RST38hStskeeps: Suppose, I do not want to do QAppklication.exec(). What do I do instead?10:41

lardmangrumble grumble, why are there so many ways to implement DBus functionality under Qt14:17
lcuklardman, same as many things, different developers each needing the code and having to make implementations14:19
lardmanlcuk: well it's more the way that one can use cryptic Q_SIGNALs which seem to just work, but then there are other instructions to use QDbusAdaptors (or something like that)14:20
lardmanQDBusAbstractAdaptor that should be14:20
lcuklardman, dbus has multiple api levels14:21
lardmantrue, in which case better docs would be nice14:23

lardmansome double buffering effect14:28
lardman?14:28

lcuklardman, afaik sub folders are not tracked15:07
lcukat least from historical15:07
lcuki wanted to use inotify on base folder for everything inside15:08
lcukbut afaik I had to add one to each specific folder15:08
lcuklest the inotify would generate huge amounts of data if started on /15:08
lcuklardman, can you subscribe to tracker events?15:10
wazdSummeli: ping? :)15:12
*** leinir_ has joined #harmattan15:21
*** leinir has quit IRC15:21
*** leinir_ is now known as leinir15:21
lardmanlcuk: yeah I could do, and equally there's a DBus event broadcast by the camera app15:23
lcukuseful15:24
lardmanI'd prefer the file tracker though as it's simple(r than Tracker, I assume) and more generic than hooking up to the specific message from the current camera app15:25
lardmanhmm, I tell a lie, I've got a QFileSystemWatcher path set to /home/user/MyDocs/DCIM and that's where the files are created too15:26
lardmanso it's not a case of subdirs messing things up15:26
lcuklardman, hm then15:26
lardmanI wonder if I've correctly understood how it works...?15:28
lardmanI'm adding a directory in the expectation that I will receive events if files and/or directories within that directory are modified15:28
lardmanbut perhaps you have to explicitly add a directory/file path for a given file?15:28
lardmanthat seems quite un-useful though15:28
lardmanhmm rubbish, direcoryChanged() is emitted for any changes to files in a dir, filechanged() is only emitted if you explicitly specify the file15:38
lardmanthis means I need to store the dir contents state internally15:38
lardmanrubbish15:38
lcukhm15:39
lcuklardman15:39
lcukthats odd15:39
lcuki gather internally the filesystemwatcher will use inotify on linux15:39
lcukwhich gives the name of the file beingmodified15:39
lcukperhaps driver error :P15:39
lardmanno, I've seen some other comments to this effect, but apparently it's still not actually very useful15:40

RST38h-- "The head was found at the midle of a roa..." - Captain, is it "middle" or "midle"?19:55
DocScrutinizerRST38h: ""...let's move him to the backery. It's easier to spell"" ?19:55
RST38h-- Erhm...<kick>... just say it was found in a ditch19:55
RST38hDoc:Yep19:55
RST38hmgedmin: showFullScreen() on the QMainWindow19:56
RST38hmgedmin: kills it dead,although I guess you will need it to place FBeader's icons into19:56
mgedminthe bar is invisible in fullscreen mode that fbreader supports19:56
mgedminbut so are fbreader's own toolbar icons and the OS statusbar (what do you call the bar at the top?)19:57
mgedminhmm19:58
mgedminqApp->setProperty("NoMNavigationBar", true);19:59
mgedmin(found in in libmeegotouch source tree)19:59
RST38htitle bar afaik19:59
mgedminthere's also qApp->setProperty("NoMStatusBar", true);19:59
RST38hnice20:00
mgedminthis is in doc/src/plainqt.dox20:00
mgedminpreceded by "With the MeeGo Touch Qt style you can also disable some elements that are added by the style, for example, the status bar or the navigation bar."20:00
RST38hbut I would be vary of using MeegoTouch stuff20:00
mgedminbut meegotouch is deprecated, ain't it?  is meegotouch qt style used for plain qwidget apps in harmattan?20:00
RST38hThey all appear to hate MeegoTouch20:00
mgedminqApp->setProperty() appears to be plain qt to me...20:00
mgedminbut the "M" in property names reeks of meegotouch20:00
RST38hmgedmin: setStyle("plastique") and see what happens (thank Stskeeps for this one)20:01
mgedminhmm20:01
RST38hwell the set o properties is kinda not well defined20:01
mgedminis there a getStyle() as well?20:01

mgedminhm, if you add the harmattan sdk repo, you can apt-get install qt4-declarative-qmlviewer20:21
hiemanshuDocScrutinizer: I want it to say something like 'Welcome to the world of nokia, where i2c protects you and aegis fucks you' or something like that20:22

mgedminfcrochik, why don't you just build a QML app with Qt Creator?20:52
lcukdoes fbreader store position in book ?20:55
lcukin a readable manner20:55
lcuki have liqbook on 2 computers, and same library on both.  when I pickup a machine it should know where I am upto in the book!20:55
fcrochikmgedmin: I have.... just wanted something so I could develop on the device...20:56
mgedminyou can have your app read the qml file from disk instead of embedding it as a resource20:56
fcrochikmgedmin: yes.... but qmlviewer should do all this for me :)20:56
lcukfcrochik, speak to khertan20:56

rm_youif the threading is done right, not too hard i would think22:39
mgedminfor me personally, the inability to move cursor in vim by tapping (i.e. xterm mouse reporting for terminal apps) is issue #1 at the moment22:43

antman8969don't understand that at all, I find them far more accurate22:49

mgedminmikhas told me that is possible22:54
rm_youif i can make it just permanently crash22:54
antman8969would be bad for develpoment too, your target platform won't be able to do that ;)22:54
rm_youor replace the UI somehow22:54
rm_youT_T22:54
lardmanantman8969: does QFile provide a method whereby one can determine if it's locked for writing?22:54
antman8969I would assume, but a quick ctrl+f on the QFile page would be the right place to look22:54
antman8969qt must have a way to do it22:54
antman8969and qfile seemed logical...22:55
antman8969if anything22:55
antman8969you can attempt to open it for writing22:55
antman8969and if it fails, you kind of know...22:55
lardmanThe issue is that QImage silently fails (apparently) and returns a zero sized image22:57
lardmanbut I'd prefer to not have to sit in a polling loop22:57
lardmanlooking at e.g. QFileInfo isWritable()22:57
antman8969you opening the image in qml?22:58

*** harbaum has quit IRC22:59
lardmanmgedmin: waiting for new photos to be created, then analysing them22:59
mgedminin linux there are no automatic "locks" while a file is being created22:59
lardmanbut it seems I get notified and can react before the file has finished being written22:59
mgedmin*written22:59
lardmanI'll probably add a short delay first, then a one shot timer to make sure I don't sit in my polling loop for too long23:00
mgedminI can't come up with anything better than polling until the mtime becomes older than say 2 seconds before now23:00
lardmanI can poll until the file becomes writable23:00
lardmanwhich is marginally better23:00
mgedminhuh? you mean it's not writable initially?23:01
lardmanhmm23:01
mgedminhow is the app that's writing out the photo managing to do that if the file is not writable?23:01
lardmanwell I'm assuming not, as the camera app has created it23:01
lardmanbut if the camera app is writing to it, surely it won't be writable by another app?23:01
mgedminit will be23:02
mgedminthis is linux23:02
lardmanreally?!23:02
mgedminno mandatory file locks23:02
