IRC log of #maemo for Friday, 2007-01-19

Takthere's a test build of xmame for bora if anyone's interested ( garage/projects/xmame )00:00
*** kwa has joined #maemo00:05
lardman|homeMolagi: Are you saying that the built-in player is better than mplayer for that file?00:05
Molagiyeah00:06
Molagiit doesnt warp or freeze00:06
lardman|homeinteresting, what is the format - xvid, etc.?00:06
Molagiyeah xvid00:06

Molagiconverted to 420x240 with videobitrate 300 i think00:07
lardman|homeI was just wondering00:08
ssvbdaniels: is mpeg4 and its variants decoded using ARM core on N800 now?00:09
ssvbdaniels: I mean in standard video player00:10
*** user_ has joined #maemo00:10
*** user_ has quit IRC00:10
Molagishame that standard video player doenst support subtitles00:11
*** _follower_ has joined #maemo00:12
*** _follower_ has left #maemo00:13
lardman|homeMolagi: You could presumably add in a gstreamer element to add the subtitles00:13
Molagihmm00:14
Molagihow?00:15
Takso is there no esd on the n800?00:15
Molagiwhats an esd?00:16
lardman|homeyou'd need the correct subtitle decoder, from a quick look there's one called dvdsub which will decode and place them on AYUV frames00:16
lardman|homeyou'd have to compile and install it, then link it into the current gstreamer chain00:16
Molagioh00:16
Molagiso id kinda need to compile them again?00:16
lardman|homenot sure how the chain is constructed though, but iirc there's a conf file or similar (thinking of the ogg tutorial) which might allow you to change what's put in the chain00:17
Molagitrough dvdsub00:17
lardman|homegstreamer is a bunch of components that do various things, read the file, decode this/that/the other, output to audio, output to video00:17
Molagiok00:17
lardman|homeso you just add in an extra component that interprets the subtitles00:18
lardman|homewhen I say just, it's easy to say, not sure how easy to do00:18
Molagi:D00:18
danielsssvb: you need to decode to i420/yv12 first, but those formats are colourspace-converted using the graphics sybsystem, yes00:19
*** daf` has quit IRC00:19
ssvbMolagi: it should be possible to encode subtitles into video using mencoder (or some of its frontends), the quality of text would not be very good though00:19
*** daf` has joined #maemo00:19
*** spect has quit IRC00:19
*** etrunko has quit IRC00:20
Molagiyeah, just couldnt get it working00:20
Molagitried with the nokia 770 video convertor 1.2100:20
ssvbdaniels: are planar yuv colorspace formats supported by hardware?00:20
Molagiheh the standard media player froze00:21
Molagiworked 16 minutes properly00:21
*** spect has joined #maemo00:22
lardman|homeSo does that mean the majority of the decoding is done on the ARM rather than the DSP?00:26
lardman|homeah no, I misread daniels' post00:27
lardman|homeonly the colourspace conversion is done outside of the DSP?00:28
Pioheh i hate when i forgot to check the nokia display for messages when im apt-get installing stuff00:28
Pioi actually got as far as looking at the mediastreamer preinst script to see why it was hanging up00:28
Pio(sshing in to the 770 from my workstation)00:29
lardman|homeWas it asking where you wanted to put the link?00:30
ssvblardman|home: if I got correct information (listing of dsp tasks available on N800), DSP is only used for audio on N800 now and dspmpeg4sink got retired00:30
*** booiiing has quit IRC00:30
lardman|homessvb: That's interesting. I wonder if that's due to hw limitations or programmer limitations00:31
ssvbssvb: so video should be decoded now by either using ARM core or IVA (but that is unlikely)00:31
Piolardman|gone, that, and EULA acceptance00:32
lardman|homeWhat form does IVA take, not simply hw optimisations for the DSP?00:32
lardman|homePio: Ah right00:32
Molagihmm im using nokia 770 video converter to convert my movies to n800, might that be the problem why mplayer is warping and freezing?00:32
suihkulokkissvb: methinks planar->packed conversion is done xserver00:33
ssvblardman|home: DSP seems to be only 220MHz in OMAP2420, so it could not provide any improvement over Nokia 77000:33
lardman|homessvb: It appears (from the Ti diagram) to be the same one00:33
suihkulokkissvb: have you checked bora xserver sources?00:33
ssvbsuihkulokki: not yet00:34
lardman|homessvb: There's always ways to improve, just depends on whether you can get someone to do the programming00:34
*** booiiing has joined #maemo00:34
* lardman|home thinks he's just about worked out how to use the DSP examples00:34
lardman|homeand examples are a long way from something useful00:35
Pioanyone have screen cleaning tips for the 770?00:36
*** sp3000 has quit IRC00:36
*** sp3000 has joined #maemo00:37
ssvbsuihkulokki: I see, I have some optimized code for planar->packed conversion that works good for Nokia 770, maybe it could be used in xserver too00:37
ssvbsuihkulokki: but it is better to benchmark it on N800 to be sure that it can provide any improvement there00:38
ssvbI'm going to implement JIT scaler in Nokia 770 version of mplayer this weekend, so scaling problems should be resolved soon00:40
ssvblardman|home: yes, examples are too limited, also it is hard to find anything open source that is finished and usable for C55x00:42
lardman|homeSomeone brought up the question of ogg earlier, I wonder what libvorbis vs tremor will produce00:42
ssvblardman|home: the most important example that is missing is how to play some sounds from DSP00:42
lardman|homessvb: The examples are limited, but should point the right way. The real issue is the lack of the header file for the functions in the avs_kernel.out, without that we need to write the driver/codec for the aic23 (name?)00:43
lardman|hometouche00:43
konfooanyone looking for a 770? i have a spare one i need to sell00:43
konfooalso a zaurus c3200 :)00:44
*** matt_c has quit IRC00:44
lardman|homessvb: There are examples, however, of writing the interface with the McBSP to the aic23 chip00:44
ssvblardman|home: I wonder if it is legal to disassemble existing dsppcmsink code to get some information from it00:46
*** NickDe has joined #maemo00:46
lardman|homessvb: no idea. Would be easier for Nokia to just say here's a header file, use these functions in the avs_kernel with these parameter lists00:47
lardman|homessvb: Have you tried the dsp examples?00:47
ssvblardman|home: not yet, permanently don't have time for that :(00:47
lardman|homessvb: It's finally dawned on me that I need to look more closely at the memory locations I'm trying to use. My 770 is rebooting pretty much every time I try to run a task00:48
*** nnod__ has quit IRC00:48
*** nnod__ has joined #maemo00:49
lardman|homessvb: But I don;t think there's much point in turning off the lifeguard reset as otherwise the dsp will end up in a 'blank' state, which isn't how it would be used normally (without the other tasks having allocated memory, & fb, etc.)00:49
*** jpetersen has quit IRC00:49
lardman|homeit might cut down on my profanities though ;)00:49
*** jpetersen has joined #maemo00:50
*** ljp has joined #maemo00:50
ssvblardman|home: debugging DSP code might be a nightmare, I guess all the useful stuff like simulator is included in commercial package such as Code Composer Studio00:50
*** user_ has joined #maemo00:51
*** minra has joined #maemo00:51
lardman|homessvb: Yep, would just have to do it the old way with printf statements & testing subroutines against MATLAB/other known good decoders00:51
minrayaay for the 77000:52
minrawill any other manufacturers be releasing devices that run on maemo?  would be nice ... :)00:53

wumpuslol, xmame on the N800 has top/bottom and left/right swapped, that makes for one hard game of pacman :)01:42
Pioheh01:43
gpdcan someone give me an sensible kismet command -- i have it installed on N800 but have never used it.01:43
gpdok - running from tablet xterm - rather than from desktop ssh seems better as i now have a curses interface :)01:45
minrai have kismet running on the 770... you might need to look at /etc/kismet/kismet.conf and /etc/kismet/kismet-ui.conf01:46
minrais there info on the N800 available or are you Nokia employee?01:46

jacques$150 - I guess that's about what BT keyboards cost :-\05:59
danielswell, when i was testing it, pressing / (green fn + \), you got a keypress for greenfn, a keypress for shift, a keypress for /, a keyrelease for shift, a keyrelease for / (which is now |), and a keyrelease for greenfn.  something like that.  it was pathologically broken.05:59
minrai think i paid 100 euro for mine - about 130 USD06:00
Takminra: my fiancee's looking at the stowaway sierra ;-)06:00
Takyou can always hit zoom in and reconfooble the keys06:00
gpddaniels: i agree -- that is the other one - this one (sierra) has full keys06:01
minrareconfiging keys via xmame led to some strange behavior, but i'll get back to that sometime and find out whats happening06:01
minrathe just when i felt i had all the cool toys i really needed...06:05
minrathe N800 and the sierra come out06:05
gpdsierra cost me 85 on amazon - but shipping took ages so get from newegg instead06:05
jacquesok this takes the nokia out of the running:06:05
jacquesCan I also use the Nokia Wireless Keyboard with my PDA or PC?06:05
jacquesNo you cannot. The Nokia Wireless Keyboard can only be used with compatible Nokia phones.06:05
jacquessorry, but I'm not spending that much for a BT keyboard that I cannot use with whatever I want06:05

gpdsierraaaaa seemmmms    ice soooooo fffffffar            except for the occasional incident described <--06:05
gpdbut that is not normal06:05
danielsif you call up nokia and say 'but it doesn't work with my opensolaris laptop', then they won't support you.  but it absolutely does work just fine as a standard bluetooth hid device.06:05
danielsit's purely a support issue06:05
danielssame reason people tell you that you can't use your usb key under linux06:05
jacquesdaniels, ok that's not so bad then06:05
gpddaniels: can you shed any light on USB host mode? we were discussion earlier. OTG is out - but host mode - any possibility of ever getting to work?06:05
gpd[unofficially]06:05
danielsgpd: well, the flasher still has --enable-usb-host-mode ...06:06
gpdjacques: if you have questions on the sierra - i am using it now with the nokia to type this.06:06
gpdhmm. I am tempted to reflash then - i thought that might put me into dev mode06:07
gpddaniels: i just got an apple camera connector - that allows the iPod to offload photos from a camera - this would be great to do on the nokia as the screen would allow *real* previewing in the wild06:08
danielsgpd: well, if it doesn't need any power, then you're okay06:08
jacquesyeah, for that the N800 is even sweeter than my hx4700 (previewing photos)06:09
gpdno - the digital SLR should provide power enough06:09
jacquesgoing by the display resolution/quality06:09
gpdso i should order the usb big to usb small converter, reflash, echo the thing to the /sys/foo, then joy? (unofficially)06:10
danielsgpd: no, use flasher --enable-usb-host-mode06:10
gpddaniels: but the --enable-usb-host-mode  is switchable after flashing ? or not?06:11
danielsgpd: it is, yes06:12
gpdand the lack of OTG support is not fatal for this usage?06:12
danielsguess you'll find out ...06:13

jacquesvol_770, I have the same question - I wanna know if it's possible to play full res (800x480) full frame rate video07:20
cesmanI don't know as I have no tried07:20
cesmanI used the 770-encode.pl script to convert what I record w/ mythtv to avi playable on 80007:21

jacquesI can play 640x480@25fps/1500bps divx on my hx4700 - it has a slightly better video chip but otherwise the N800 should be faster in every way07:22

keesjand the debian does not have an amrel binary10:57

osfamerongah, the osso RSS reader really is a buggy piece of rubbish13:34
Jaffaosso-* really tend to be Not Great.13:35
osfameronbut it's the bundled rss reader!13:35
osfameronI'm rather disappointed13:35
osfameronis there a worthy replacement?  (that's already ported to N800)13:35
dottedmagosfameron: I started to adapt recent liferea to 770 (to replace osso-rss-feed-reader, it seems possible), but given up.13:36
osfameronhmm, writing my own rss reader isn't an itch I particularly want to scratch13:36
dottedmagIf there is enough interest, I think it might be done.13:36
osfameronthough Icould try with plagger and perl :-)13:36
dottedmagplagger?13:36
osfamerondottedmag: well, I'll happily beta and bug report if that's any help13:36
dottedmagah13:36
osfamerondottedmag: it's a nice (trendy) library for handling RSS in Perl13:37
* dottedmag prefer feedparser and python :)13:37
dottedmag*prefers13:37
osfameronI'm sure they're very good too13:37
osfameronbut I'm handier on Perl13:37
osfameronin fact I think I've heard perl bods complimenting feedparser.py as a rather good implementation of an RSS library13:38
osfameronbut Plagger is (allegedly) pretty good13:38
dottedmagOk. I'd probably create garage project (is SVN or mercurial provided?) for porting recent liferea and try to attract another osso-rss-feed-reader-haters :)13:39
*** luck has joined #maemo13:39
osfamerondottedmag: yeah, it probably makes sense.  I don't have the skills in that area, but I have enough hate to contribute13:40
osfameron1) it crashes on some feeds, 2) the rendering is so slow and jerky as to make scrolling not work for large feeds13:40
kulvefirst feed I tried to read was planet.maemo.org's and it crashes the osso reader..13:41

keesjbiscuit, perhaps disk full? It can also be that the file is larger but that you are looking a the dialog telling how much disk space the package will use and that this value is not entered properly18:42
s-ndh-cswitch to redpill mode and install from file?18:42
s-ndh-cor maybe its even in the user section so you can just install it from file18:42

littlefaeFound my information! :D  Slightly dismayed at the CPU though, its only 320MHz19:06
Jaffa"only".19:06
littlefaeWell the 770 is supposed to be 266MHz, according to the same site, so it isn't that much faster19:07
JaffaUntil the Mac mini was released, by desktop was an AMD K6-2 350MHz, with a StrongARM @ 200MHz being regularly used too.19:07
Jaffalittlefae: the 770's ~252MHz19:07
TakI feel your pain @ k6-219:07
JuhazI see the megahertz myth is still going strong19:07
*** bergie has quit IRC19:07
littlefaeStill, not that much of an improvement, given that most PocketPC's sport a 400Mhz Xscale19:07
hubvery string19:07
Jaffalittlefae: XScale's got a much longer pipeline than OMAP IIRC19:08
hubI have a Pentium M 1.73 GHz that is faster than the Sempron at 2.2GHz19:08
hubso much for the MHz myth19:08
littlefaeOkay, I'll rephrase; my 770 feels slow, and takes a moment or two to draw GUI elements on screen.  I don't forsee a ~100Mhz speed hike improving it by much19:08
Jaffa320MHz ARMs can do a lot. It's just a) too much reliance on many layers of non-optimised frameworks which b) never optimise for ARM19:08
||cwhub: sempron is more like a celeron19:09
Juhazlittlefae, the point is, it's not the same CPU, so 100MHz alone doesn't tell you anything at all about the total speedup19:10
hub||cw: does not matter, it just discard the MHz myth19:10
littlefaeAhh, see I assumed it was the same CPU, hence my 'myth' :p19:10

Jaffalittlefae: looks like ssvb'll be able to get mplayer to do the same on the N800 with mplayer19:15
littlefaeYeah, but it needs special resolutions, bitrates etc etc.19:15
littlefaeon the 770, I mean19:16
SyntaxNinjadoes the webcam provide a /dev/video? I'm wondering if I can reasonably expect to be able to port a C application that reads /dev/video19:16
JaffaSyntaxNinja: yes, but only on an app-by-app basis. i.e. FBReader does it for ebooks (nothing else does, AFAIK)19:16
SyntaxNinjaJaffa: OK. thanks.19:16
JaffaSyntaxNinja: the N800's webcam is standard v4l19:16
Jaffa(or v4l2, I forget)19:16
bhimaSyntaxNinja: IE: The 770 doesn't rotate its screen, but your app can display any bitmap it wants to.19:16

tkosome stuff isn't supposed to be used or documented :)20:09
ajturnerI currently use the Delorme Bluelogger with my 77020:09
nelsonajturner: works great for handheld use.  Works less well for auto use.20:09
tkoMDK, yeah, you couldn't have known20:09
nelsonajturner: sure, that's reasonable.  Battery life on Bluelogger >> battery life on 770.20:10
MDKtko: you mean like the internal DRM chip?20:10
ajturnernelson - but now you have 2 devices on the handlebars of your bike20:10
nelsonajturner: nahhhh.  I just throw the GPS receiver in the hydration pack's top pocket.20:10
MDKtko: we do have a hidden DRM chip in N800, don't we?20:10
ajturnerthe other problem I run into is not being able to connect more than 1 BT device - for example GPS & mobile phone20:10
tzzajturner: I agree it would be great for you and many others, but the N800 seems to be targeting a different market, so it will have to be an external accessory for now.  It's defiunitely a business decision on Nokia's part, not a technical one.20:11
ajturneror GPS, Mobile & KBD (esp. 1handed kbds ;)20:11
jaitAndy80: If it speaks standard NMEA over rfcomm, then it should work with Navicore20:11

* MDK hides before everybody eats him 20:11

ajturnertzz - well, by having all devices with GPS, then devs can build it into apps and use-cases without requiring a user to have another one20:11
MDKtko: the thumbpress is actually a public API ;)20:11
tkoMDK, did you comment the sound api btw?20:11
[A]ndy80jait: I'm currently using it with my Nokia 6600 and TomTom Go. I wish TomTom to be available on N770 too :)20:12
nelsonajturner: ahhhhh, but gpsd comes by default, so everybody can use it, and if it says "I dunno", then that's what it reports.20:12
tzzajturner: the GPS API is stable, separate from Bluetooth in ITOS2007 IIRC20:12
tkoMDK, public yes, visible yes, documented? :)20:12

*** s-ndh-c has joined #maemo20:12
Takyes, what's the deal with the sound on n800?20:12
ajturnertzz - well, but if there isn't a gps device, then currently gpsd doesn't know where you are20:12
MDKtko: I put it into _helper funtions with documentation in new hildon20:12
tkoMDK, aren't you the maintainer? :)20:12
jaitAndy80: then I'm guessing it will work with Navicore, too20:13
[A]ndy80is it possible to have multiple wireless profiles on N770?20:13
tzzajturner: basically adding a $100 device just because it would be nice doesn't cut it in business...  A lot of people just don't need to consult GPS exactly where they are (because they already know, have a map, etc.)20:13
tkoby the time new hildon is ready it should be stable enough..20:13
[A]ndy80(I don't have it yet, I'm going to buy it, used, within an hour :P )20:13
tkothe underlying implementation details I mean20:13
ajturnertzz - I'm thinking for Location based services, automatically letting me know when I'm near somewhere that interests me - geotagged photos20:14
* koen hears LBS20:14
ajturnertzz - but if something like Skyhook's Loki (or open-db) for WiFi geolcoation can be made into a Maemo GPSD service, then that would be even better - esp in urban environments20:14
* ajturner said LBS20:14
MDKtko: in a way, having to do thumbpress detection manually is bad in the first place20:14
Jaffatko: "New Hildon"?20:14
MDKbut I guess it's "good enough" compared to other bad-bad things20:15
tzzajturner: sure, there are many interesting uses, but currently GPS just isn't a compelling reason to spend $100 more on an electronic device to *consumers*.20:15
*** [A]ndy80 is now known as Andy8020:15

arnnnndogbix, I tried the one from maemo-hacker site osso_xterm something and it gives error not compatible21:42
Piotheres some procedure to convert those dump files to pcap compatible files that tcpdump can parse.. im trying to remember how that worked21:42
dogbixarnnnn: there are some instructions on maemo about dropping repositories21:43
arnnnndogbix, where can I read that ?21:43
kulvePio: I think I can do that, but I don't see any actual tcp/udp packets there..21:43
dogbixHold on..21:43
kulveonly beacons etc21:43
Pio"Kismet dumpfiles are standard tcpdump format - any tool. that can read pcap files can read a Kismet dump"21:43
Piokulve, oh, i see21:44
* Pio reads scrollback21:44
arnnnnthere seem to be enough n800 for everyone this time , unlike when nokia first launch n770...all sold out21:44
|tbb|hmmh i dont get a gps signal21:44
Pioare you sure there is actual data in the dump file?21:44
* |tbb| wonders21:44
dogbixFind xterminal on this page   http://maemo.org/maemowiki/OS2007_Tested_Applications21:45
myren_arnnnn: tell that to denver21:45
s-ndh-c_does apt-get use some recursive magic? like calling itself from itself? i would like to rename it place a wrapper around it that first startsup my wlan21:45
myren_no one ships ANYTHING to denver21:45
myren_its frigging annoying as hell21:45
arnnnnmyren_, maybe because of the snow21:45
myren_no Jawbone, no SpaceExplorers, no N800's21:45
s-ndh-c_or maybe its a script that i could just edit21:45
s-ndh-c_:)21:46
kulvePio: no. I have fifo=/tmp/kismet-dump.fifo in the kismet.conf and when I read that kismet-dump.fifo in tcpdump and print everything out I get lots of beacon etc data. But if the try to limit the tcpdump data to e.g. tcp or udp it doesn't print enything21:46

myren_arnnnn: the issue seems very long term.  i can never find anything locally.21:46
|tbb|s-ndh-c_, do i have to set any port to my just created rfcomm021:46
Piokulve, but could it be that the network *had* no tcp/udp data, so there isnt any in the dump file?21:46
Piowas this an encrypted network?21:46
kulveI tried to send data there. And I used unencrypted ad-hoc wlan and WEP encrypted.21:47
*** p13 has quit IRC21:48
s-ndh-c_|tbb|: i think if rfcomm bind succeded you have succesfully connected to your bt device21:49
kulvePio: but if you think it should work, then I just need to try again21:49
*** p13 has joined #maemo21:49
Piowell, im not sure21:49
|tbb|than maybee the signal isnt good21:49
Pioi was under the impression kismet would dump whatever it saw and understood.. i suppose if it couldnt decrypt what it saw it wouldnt dump it21:49
Pioi havent used kismet that much for dumping21:50
kulvehmm.. with ad-hoc the signal should be ok, since the devices are next to each other. With WEP it could have been weaker21:50
kulveI'll try it again, when I have the time. And I need to set up an wlan station without encryption at all for basic testing..21:50
Piodoh, i just installed liblzo so i could use openvpn w/ lzo compression but now the .deb of openssl with lzo support is 40421:51

minrasadly the directional pad on the 770 is really poor for games22:44
minravery hard not to hit the central button while making fast switches left/right22:44

glassi got a stowaway too22:48
keesjglass, is that full size?22:48
minraany firm surface on the lap suffices for me -- attache case, notebook bag, but yes the buttons were a design flaw22:48
Molagianyone had problems with the nethack, mine worked great earlier today and now it just closes when i enter the name22:48
