minraty juhaz... i did not see it03:26
minrai am still in the "OMG this is so awesome" phase of 770 ownership03:27
minragonna upgrade my kernel tonight to get that  2gb rs-mmc  thing going03:28
minrathis thing has replaced my psion netbook03:29
minrabtw i found a guy who ported  the nx client to  arm (for the netbook) itd be nice to have nx as well as vnc for the 77003:31
*** skodde has quit IRC03:32
myren!03:34
myrennx on arm?  fuck'n a03:34
myrentaht _has_ to run like balls03:35
*** spect has quit IRC03:37
minraactually it ran better than vnc, which needs to de-jpeg everything03:38
*** pvanhoof has quit IRC03:39
minrathe netbook has a 190 mhz arm... so it should be comparable03:39
Pioso that support for 2 gb rs-mmc is pretty simple right? im getting a 770 for xmas, wondering about my options in that area03:40
glassyeah03:40
minrawhat kernel do you recommment?  i need nfs, 2gb but no ipv603:42
minraoh another question...  is openssh or dropbear better ?03:43
myrenvnc sucks03:49
myreni hope the 870 supports SDHC03:50
myren4gb is not sufficient03:50
myren8gb is tolerable03:50
minraok  i am just throwing them out now... respond if you feel like it and thanks in advance03:50
minrais there a way to switch apps with a key combo? like alt-tab03:50
glasspress the home thing button for a long time03:51
minrathx glass that works... i will keep looking for a way to quickly switch apps with my keyboard03:53
minrathere is always a way... with open source03:53
minrai hope nokia is making money with these things03:55
myrennot significantly, i'm afraid03:55
myrenits still sooo niche03:55
glassvery niche03:55
glasscompared to other nokia stuff03:55
myrenusb missile launchers are more niche03:55
myrenthat was the only thing i could think of that was more niche03:55
myrenoohh dude03:56
myrenoh fuck03:56
myrenthere is no usb host03:56
myrenis there03:56
myrenthat would've rocked.  webcam 870 + usb missile launcher == remote turrent install03:56
glassthere's a way to enable usb host03:58
glassyou need to construct a special cable though03:58
glassit needs the +5v line03:58
glassi haven't done it myself so that's all i know about it03:59
minrai have read that also.   too  bad..  it is so sexy, i get women chatting me up when i surf in cafes03:59

minraa faster nokia would be nice05:06
myreni hope the dsp gets an upgrade05:06
myreni want better video resolution05:06
myrengimme more headroom and i'll start using it for audio effects processing05:07
minraso    the new thing is the 870?   it will be released?05:07
minraheh05:07
minrathere  is no   line input... what for effects processing....05:08
*** everaldo has joined #maemo05:08
*** everaldo has left #maemo05:08
myreni regularly abuse the @#$@#$ out of usb sound card05:08
myren24/96 is permissable05:09
myrenalthough if you want really cool sound processing, 24/192 is the way to go05:09
Tak-roamingvideo resolution is fine unless it gets a bigger screen05:09
myrentwo mics and you can do @#$@#$ triangulation at that rate05:09
minratrue05:12
Tak-roamingwhy would you want to triangulate @#$@#$ ?05:13
minrayou could do motion capture with audio05:15
myrenin case there are snipers on the rooftops, DUH05:16
myrenwell, once you triangulate a noise source, its very easy to filter out all audio not coming from that point05:17
myren"very easy" may be slightly inaccurate05:17
myrenand slightly inaccurate might be a gross underestimation05:17
minrathat is supposing you have a multichannel adc  that works with usb and the 77005:18
myrenusb sound cards are extremely uniform05:21
myrenthey're very simply very stupid data pipes05:21
minrayou  are a freak.  nice to meet you.05:21
myrenit was required for this computer engineering degree05:22
minrammh... i am freezing... and my internal memory is full with downloads05:26
minragotta hit the sack... ttyl05:26
myrenhave fun buffer dumping05:26

GuardianSuitable USB device not found, waiting16:21
GuardianUSB device found found at bus 003, device address 00316:21
GuardianError claiming USB interface: Operation not permitted16:21
Guardianbleh :(16:21

Guardianhmm the wiki said "command needs execute permissions" "not as root"16:23
nomiseh, what?16:23
nomisThat'd surprise me.16:23
Guardianah nice16:23
Guardian"try with a newer version of flasher program"16:23
Guardiani just downloaded it =)16:23

Jaffakoen: zactly17:47
* Jaffa had hoped the UPnP server in Myth would also allow you to control what it's playing (I suppose it might in the otherwise dire MythMusic)17:48
Guardianplease, wiki says "As a prerequisite, you need to have maemo 2.1 installed on your computer. Also, you need the following scripts from the  subversion repository installed into your working root reference file system directory: make_rootimage.sh ..."17:48
Guardian"Create symbolic links to these scripts under your Scratchbox home directory, from an empty working directory. As a side note, the same scripts can be used to create custom rootstraps."17:48
Guardianit's unclear where to put what :(17:48
Jaffakoen: Maybe Canola will be better at it...17:50
koenvapourwareola?17:51
JaffaShocking. Just because it's constantly hyped and not released. Not sure I agree with the amount of hype for it, especially a v0.1 release which is bound to be buggy.17:54
JaffaCould be good, though (if it's not vapourwareola)17:54

mgedminI noticed that the person demoing it had to retry his actions very often to actually hit the too-small controls18:03
bergiehas anyone tried to compile the Democracy Player for Maemo? http://www.getdemocracy.com/downloads/18:04
*** matt_c has joined #maemo18:07
Guardianhow can i change the ip of the 770 when using usb networking ?18:09
*** philipl has joined #maemo18:12
Jaffamgedmin: yeah, I noticed that too.18:13
Jaffabergie: it depends on a whole load of stuff to do the actual playback; Democracy itself is basically just a container.18:14
mgedmindemocracyplayer 0.9.0-1 from Debian doesn't want to build in my scratchbox because "no available versions of package cdbs can satisfy version requirements"18:15
*** snorkelyd has joined #maemo18:19
*** matt_c has quit IRC18:19
bergieJaffa: and I guess transcoding on 770 processor would be an interesting experience :-)18:25
mgedminhehehehehehe18:26
mgedminimagine connecting a USB DVD drive to the 770 and ripping DVDs18:26
bhimaInteresting? How is sitting around for a month without your gadget "interesting"?18:26
bhimaYou'd probably just be better off waiting for the movie to enter the public domain than transcode an HD version down using the 770's CPU.18:27
Fatalwithout? you would naturally cradle it for the duration18:27
* mgedmin is struck by an idea: a "boot reason" home applet that shows why my device just rebooted18:27
*** matt_c has joined #maemo18:27

bhimaCan you give me a one sentence summary of what's wrong with gentoo? I don't actually know much about it.18:37
Guardianwhen setting up sbrsh, do i have to export /scratchbox/users/<USER>/targets/<TARGET>  or /scratchbox/users/<USER>/targets/18:38
Tak90% of its users build everything from source into identical binaries18:38
bhimaBut, but, but...how can you _know_ they'll be identical if you don't build them?18:39
bhimaI know! I'll make a "gentoo-secure" distribution. It'll be just like gentoo, but it'll md5 all your binaries and make sure they're correct before it installs them. :)18:39
koenthere's nothing wrong with gentoo!18:40
koenit's the only source-based distro!18:40
koen</idiot mode>18:40
||cwwhat's wrong with it is that time it takes you to compile your crap "for optimal performance" will take 5 years to get back from the actual performance gain18:41
Taklol - I can imagine storing like 1000 md5sums for each package18:41
Takactually, I wish apt-source (dpkg --source) would incorporate some of the stuff from emerge/portage, like being able to have a global set of USE flags (-qt) that apply18:42
*** epx_ghost has joined #maemo18:43
Takthen if package foo depends on libhateme because of the way the default binary was configured (but it's not actually required), you could just apt-source it quickly without having to fiddle with debian/*18:43
bergiebhima: I think the use case for something like democracy would be downloading stuff overnight, and then watching during commute18:43
bhima||cw: yeah, but overnight my computer doesn't do much, so I don't mind if it does random recompiling at night.18:44

*** benzea has joined #maemo18:46
||cwTak: no, generaly that kind of overide is specific to the package you are building18:46
Takyeah18:48
Takeven better would be if apt tracks your flags, and installs binaries for the packages that aren't affected, and automagically builds the source packages for those that are18:49

revspeaking of kids and the 770... i started doing this reading program at a local elemtary school- i have a 'reading partner' with whom i read a book for 30 minutes every thursday20:32
bhimaMy 770 is missing half the 'A' in Nokia from when my 1 year old bit it last year. :)20:32
revbhima: hahaha20:32
waitebhiam, I will remember that!20:32
revanyway, i was showing my reading partner my new tiny ipod shuffle and my nokia, both of which i had on me, and she found the chess game in there... so, instead of reading, for the last two times we've met we've played chess instead of reading. pretty smart kid for a 7 year old!20:33
pokute_My 770 has made some close contact negotiations with asphalt, but the dents and scratches just give it some character.20:33
revheh, yeah20:33

revi still have an eMate... the emate can take a cinderblock dropped onto it from 2 meters and barely get a scuff20:37
bhimaThe starTAC phones were quite pricey, though...20:37
bhimaOh, the eMate was the rugged one. The others aren't that rugged through.20:37
bhimarev: Have you done the hinge modification to it...?20:37
waiteThey were, but well worth it. It is the only phone that I have owned that lasted the full 2 year contract20:37
revbhima: what's that?20:37
* rev googles20:37

bhimarev: Yeah. it takes a couple years to happen, but it's pretty much guaranteed to happen :(20:39
bhimaRibbon cables are prolly worth as much as eMates. :)20:39
revi wish i was a hardware hacker type... i wonder how hard it would be to have the keyboard from an emate be used on an 77020:39
revor20:39
revi guess i could maybe put a bluetooth keyboard in the emate shell20:39
revif it'd fit20:39
bhimaIt wouldn't really fit. What's your goal?20:40
revto make a convertible laptop20:40
revi've made a few before20:40
|tbb|anyone using freedom mini bt keyboard?20:40
revcouple for the dell axim and one half-done for the 77020:40
rev|tbb|: i do, but not yet on my 770- i have to find where it went after we moved... is it working for you?20:40
bhimaFind an emate with a shattered screen. Write a little app which loads up at boot and sends the keystrokes out the serial port.20:41
revbhima: an emate case, with handle,  would be so much neater than the stuff i've used before- cardboard, plastic VHS boxes, and a metal nintendo DS case20:41
bhimaPut a USB/serial converter in the eMate, or put a bluetooth interface into it.20:41
|tbb|i dont have it now, i think about to buying it20:41
rev|tbb|: don't20:41
|tbb|not a good device?20:41
rev|tbb|: they don't do bluetooth HID, but use a serial profile that requires special drivers20:42
rev|tbb|: for any platform they're used on...  there are drivers written for it for teh 770, but i've not tried it yet myself. someone in channel wrote it, can't remember the nick though20:42
bhimaIf you wanted to be uber-l33t, you could figure out how to write a Newton app which would directly do PCMCIA bus transactions on the PCMCIA slot in the eMate...20:42
rev|tbb|: it works great for me on both WM2003 and WM5 on my dell axim x51v, but on other platforms, unless there's a driver you are SOL20:43
revbhima: now you're getting way too complicated... ;)20:43
bhima...and then write a stub driver that would pass PCMCIA over a comms link from the n770.20:43
rev|tbb|: it is a tempting keyboard because of the number row- i personally can't stand the lack of number rows on other PDA keyboards20:43
|tbb|on internettablettalk forum someone says it worked for him, cant remember the name20:43
rev|tbb|: well, you will probably be able to get it to work with the driver20:44
|tbb|so if its run it is a really good keyboard? what about the nokia bt keyboard?20:44
rev|tbb|: but because it doesn't use HID, the minute you try to use it on something new- whether it's something like windos vista  or maybe IT OS  2007, or OS X some platform for which there's no driver, you'll be completely SOL20:44
rev|tbb|: the only bluetooth keyboard i've used is the freedom kb- and it's a fine kb, i like it myself, and it's worked great on WinCE for me.  like i said, i don't know where i put it, so i've not tried it out on my  nokia yet20:45
rev|tbb|: http://fanoush.webpark.cz/maemo/#kbdd20:45
rev|tbb|: i'm not saying don't get it- just know what you're getting into20:46
bhimaI liek the ThinkOutside keyboard, though I need to get mine repaired. A pin dropped out of it.20:46
rev|tbb|: i've been quite satisfied with it, and very happy that i have a number row- i have having ti hit 3 keys for various punctuation, which i had to on the last PDA keyboard i had20:46
|tbb|how fast u are typing textes with the keyboard20:48
revi wonder if this keyboard works on thbe 770... it uses the HID and has a number row- http://www.mobile-review.com/pda/review/hp-ipaq-bluetooth-keyboard-en.shtml20:48
rev|tbb|: i've not tested. but easily 60-70 WPM20:48
revi have fat fingers, but i've never had a problem typing fast on little keyboards; i can get a good 60 WPM on my jornada 72020:49
bhimaI've been a keyboard fetishist since Apple released the Newton Keyboard.20:49
revbhima: i actually didn't like the newton keyboard all that much... funky feeling.  i prefer the emate's. but with the newton HWR, i was able to write a good 40-45 WPM, so the only thing i used the keyboard for when i was in happy MP2100 land was writing NewtonScript or LaTeX code20:50
|tbb|ctrl and alt keys working?20:51
|tbb|oh i forgot u havent test it on a 77020:51
rev|tbb|: like i said, never used it on the nokia 770... but they both worked fine on WinCE20:51
revand i used both ctrl and alt on CE in my programming environment20:52
revbut that'd be more a feature of the driver, so yeah20:52

TakI thought you could use a self-powered usb hub?20:56
mgedminyou still have to find or make a three-headed USB cable for it20:57
mgedminI looked in all the shops, and none have it here20:57
mgedmin(and most online shops do not want to ship to eastern europe)20:58
Takwhy?20:58
Takcan't you go: 770 <--->hub<---->other device(s) ?20:59
mgedmindoesn't work with a regular cable20:59
mgedminI tried20:59
Takthat sucks20:59
mgedminyou need to inject the +5V into the 770 <--> hub cable20:59
Takdo you know why not?20:59
mgedmintwo reasons20:59
waitetak, you need to feed 5V into the 770 to power the USB host chip20:59
Takwhy, if the hub doesn't need the power?20:59
Takah20:59
mgedminsome say the USB chipset on the 770 is powered from the USB port, not internally21:00
TakI didn't realize the 770 usb chipset wasn't 770-powered21:00
mgedminalso, many USB hubs use switched power and only enable the other device ports when they sense a connection on the upstream port21:00
mgedminthere are some USB hubs that don't do that, and instead send +5V to the upstream port21:00
mgedminthese work out of the box with the 77021:00
mgedminbut violate the USB spec21:00

bhimaOne older MacOS word processor had a really nifty dictionary system. It stored hashes of words, rather than words themselves...22:41

pokute_that's bad when there's no suggestions in correct forms...22:42
bhimaTo come up with alternate spelling suggestions, it would apply some permutation algorithms to the mis-spelled word, and check which of them were in the dictionary.22:42

Takare you using dropbear or openssh?23:40
|tbb|openssh23:40
Takok - on the server it should be in /etc/ssh/sshd_config23:40
Taksometimes /etc/ssh223:40
Taksometimes sshd2_config23:40
*** sbaturzio has quit IRC23:41
|tbb|i have found config, i have edited the line from #X11Forwarding no  to  X11Forwarding yes23:42
|tbb|still the same after restarting sshd23:42
Takand you're running ssh -X blah ?23:42
|tbb|http://www.advogato.org/person/pycage/23:43
|tbb|i followed that instructions23:43
|tbb|ssh -CX -l user remoteserver23:43
inzdoes the server have xbase-clients installed?23:43
|tbb|dunno23:44
|tbb|how to check that23:44
Veggenyou need "xauth" program.23:50
|tbb|xauth is there23:51
|tbb|what to do with them23:51
|tbb|# xauth23:52
|tbb|Using authority file /root/.Xauthority23:52
Veggenuhm. what is your DISPLAY variable set as, when you try to start the x-program remote?23:52
Veggenfirst - you need to ssh out as the user that is logged in :) that user is the user that has the right to start x-program. second, if you su to someone else remote, it gets more complicated.23:53
|tbb|dont have set anything just typed ssh -CX -l root@192.168.2.19923:54
|tbb|an error msg appears23:54
Veggenok. "echo $DISPLAY" on the remote box, what does that one say?23:54
|tbb|warning no xauth data using fake authentication data for x11 forwarding23:55
|tbb|:0.023:55
Veggenoh, that's definitely wrong.23:56
Veggenusually, it'll be localhost:10.0 or something like that that is the tunneled X connection.23:56
Veggenis there something that sets root DISPLAY varibale in ~root/.profile or something like that?23:57
|tbb|dont got this .profile23:58
Veggen.bash23:58
Veggen.bash_profile or .bashrc or something else. Something that a (login-)shell executes when it starts :)23:59
|tbb|.bashrc23:59
Takhow about X11Offset (or whatever) in sshd_config ?23:59
