PupnikAnybody want to write a sdl module that lets you write keyboard input with a virtual keyboard, that gets captured by the sdl keyboard input handler?00:23
kpelPupnik: sdl as in libsdl ?00:24
kpelthe games library?00:24
Pupnikyeah00:24
Pupniki don't know how to input text with stylus into sdl00:24
* thoughtfix de-idles00:24
kpelso there is no way for sdl to catch the clicks of the stylus?00:25
*** ajturner has quit IRC00:25
kpelcan't you treat the stylus like a mouse?00:25
Pupnikyes00:25
Pupnikit can get x11 keyboard input (synergy) or keyboard input from bluetooth00:26
kpelso essentialy what you want is to display pictures of keys, read the coordinates of the stylus "clicks" and display the selected characters in another place on the screen00:27
Pupnikyes00:27
kpelis there no software keyboard in maemo?00:27
kpelPupnik: i played a bit with libsdl and it's not that difficult. sadly, i don't even haev time for my own projects :(00:28
tkothere is, but it's integrated only with gtk, and the protocol is proprietary (though partially reverse engineered already)00:28
*** eniac_petrov has quit IRC00:29
kpelbut i found libsdl.org very helpful. especialy the docwiki: http://www.libsdl.org/cgi/docwiki.cgi/00:29
Pupniktko, there is a problem in that most sdl games will be running full screen, and i don't know if/how the virtual keyboard could pop-up over that window00:29
kpeltko: proprietary as in "made by Nokia"?00:29
tkoPupnik: IM works for gtk apps in fullscreen.. though I don't really know how sdl works here00:30
tkokpel: yes00:30
kpeli suggest you mention to nokia developers forums how much value will be added to the product if they allow you to use their keyboard for more games00:31
Pupnikafaik the virtual keyboard IM resizes the gtk app screen when it pops up00:31
Tak|workI'm not sure there's a good generic way to do it for sdl apps00:31
tkokpel: can't really see the benefit, the sdl games I can recall don't really need text input00:34
tkothough my view is limited00:34
tigert"enter name for high score" :)00:34
tkoexactly00:35
tigertbut the maemo games have the gtk launcher frontend00:35
Pupnikbasic question: does the virtual keyboard IM send x11 keystrokes?  or is it at the gtk/hildon level?00:36
derfGTK/Hildon.00:36
Pupnikok then forget it00:36
tkoPupnik: some X protocol.. see the wiki00:36
tkoderf: we only have implementation for gtk, but the protocol is (custom) X00:37
derfYeah, I meant the interaction (e.g., controlling the keyboard) is GTK-only.00:40
derfIt does send real X events.00:41
Pupnik"you need to create a GDK wrapper around your window"00:41
derf  XTestFakeKeyEvent(fk->xdpy, keycode, is_press, CurrentTime);00:41
*** lmoura has quit IRC00:41
tkoPupnik: if you want to use GtkIMContext instead of implementing the protocol yourself00:42
kpelcan't you use the navigation key(joystick, whatever you call it) to write highscores the old way, arcade-style?00:43
Pupnikthanks.  relevant code snippets https://garage.maemo.org/snippet/browse.php?by=lang&lang=200:43
kpelyou know, scroll through the alphabet00:43
Pupnikhttp://maemo.org/maemowiki/HowToInputMethod77000:43
Pupnikkpel yes i'm thinking that is the simplest way00:44

sussmanPupnik: I feel dumb.  I can't unpack your .tgz files;  'tar xz' gives errors03:06
Pupniktar xzf03:06
sussmanIt's not gnu tar, i don't think03:06
Pupnikhm i will check03:06
sussmanF is not an option03:07
derfgzip -c -d | tar -xvf file.tgz03:07
sussmanWhich is weird in itself03:07
Pupnikno something is wrong03:07
sussmanlike some weird deficient tar binary03:07
Sulisdoesn't it have a help?03:08
Pupnikthe nokia tar can't decompress them:  file says exult_it2006_0.03_bin.tgz:  gzip compressed data, from Unix, max compression03:08
*** myren__ has joined #maemo03:08
sussmanWha??03:08
sussmanBrb03:09
Pupniki just tested the tars on my debian sid box, not on the nokia itself.  thanks for the notice, sussman03:10
sussmanWhy is the nokia tar so ...different?03:15
Sulisit must be from busybox03:15
Suliswhich doesn't provide many different programs but one single binary which has reduced functionalities of many different unix programs03:16
Pupniksussman try the binary now03:16
Pupnikhttp://www.pupnik.de/exult_it2006_0.03_bin.tgz03:17

Pupniki could have sworn i did it once03:37
Pupnikif you want, you can set up synergy on the nokia and on your computer03:37
Pupnikthen you can control the nokia with your desktop keyboard and mouse03:38
sussmanyou have *got* to be kidding me.  'tar xvfz blah' gives error, but 'tar xzvf blah' works??03:38
sussmanstupid busybox03:38

Pupnikbut i don't have md5sum available for the nokia03:42
Pupnikso that's the sum of the package on my pc, which unpacks fine03:42
Pupnikif you have 'md5sum' on the nokia, run md5sum exult_it2006_0.03_data.tgz03:43
Suliswhat is exult anyway?03:43
Pupnikotherwise, wget the file to your pc and md5sum it there03:43

sussmansigh, my 2GB SD card is flaking out again04:39
sussmanI've created the entire 'games' directory, perfectly arranged, on my mac04:40
sussman70MB or so04:40
sussmanI'm trying to copy it whole to my SD card, but my SD card is flaking out, trying to reformat it...04:40
sussmangrmbl04:40
sussmanthis is crazy.  the nokia sees the card when I put it in, but it's unusable, when I tell the file manager to format it, it says 'corrupted card' and then pretends it doesn't exist04:50
sussmanon the mac, I can barely get Disk Utility to even see it04:50
sussmanwhen it does see it, it hangs forever trynig to format it04:50
Pupnik:/  i'd try a reboot actually.  if not, you can install exult anywhere, just have to change the path settings in .exult.cfg04:51
sussmanI rebooted the nokia already04:52
sussmanit reboots, an File Manager shows the 'external card' greyed out.  I put the external card in, and it shows it available.04:52
sussmanerrors ensue.04:52
sussmanI don't want to fill 70MB of my internal 128MB card with exult... it should live on the 2GB card04:53
Pupnikyes of course04:54
sussmanok, after removing it and reinserting it many times on the mac, disk-utility sees it briefly, and it's trying to format it now04:55
sussmanit seems to hang forever during the partitioning step.04:55
sussmanhonestly, the card must be dead.  hardware failure.04:55
sussmanok, gotta run off to a banjo gig.  Hopefully I'll get this running over the weekend04:56
Pupnikok cheers, good luck with the sd, and send it back if it's defective04:57

Pupniki see there is a fix for Xomap which may solve Xsp pixel doubling problems.  https://garage.maemo.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=531&group_id=164&atid=68307:06
PupnikHowever, i do not see that it has been applied to IT2006 Xomap server.  I have xserver-xomap 6.6.3-28 (gregale) and my SDL applications still flicker to 1x scaling07:07
*** dolske has joined #maemo07:08
PupnikIs it correct that the Xsp/Xomap damage bugfix will not be applied to IT2006 due to 'Nokia dropping support for 770'?07:09
PupnikAnd if this is true, is it possible to compile a fixed Xomap server for gregale/it2006 and allow user to upgrade via application manager / dpkg?07:10

bhima|sleepPackaging systems that threaten your system stability when you install a simple, straightforward app are silly.18:10
*** AD-N770 has joined #maemo18:11
derfbhima|sleep: The packaging system runs as root and can replace any file on the system. Obviously Nokia can't guarantee the safety of your device from someone who's malicious.18:16
bhima|sleepderf: Right. And, IMHO, that's silly.18:17
*** bhima|sleep is now known as bhima18:18
derfWelcome to the world of software.18:18
dpbwell, you could make a package manager that wouldn't do that..18:19
dpbthere's an LFS hint somewhere that you'd install each package as a different user, then they can't destroy your other packages files..18:19
bhimaEspecially for maemo, it would seem reasonable to have packages that went into single directories. You don't need to install everything in system directories.18:20

bhima_ooops. linksys--18:39
bhima_"Especially for maemo, it would seem reasonable to have packages that went into single directories. You don't need to install everything in system directories." is the last I said.18:39
Jaffabhima_: but if you want to modify a system file (e.g. start SSH at root, change root password to allow hacking etc.) then your package manager needs to be able to do anything; otherwise you're in the painful world of /var/install in OS2005.18:40
JaffaNow, the stupid warning - that can go...18:40
bhima_Jaffa: I would support two types of packages, dangerous and safe.18:41
*** myren___ has joined #maemo18:42
*** bhima has quit IRC18:42
maddlerhello all...18:42
Jaffabhima_: but even a "safe" package could use all your CPU, drain your battery or upload all your documents to evilcorp.com (unless you have loads of privilege levels, like SELinux or UAC)18:44
bhima_Jaffa: Agreed. I should mention that I also would like to see some movement towards document sandboxing, but I woudln't expect that on something like maemo :)18:45
*** bhima_ is now known as bhima18:46
*** jpetersen has quit IRC18:46
bhimaJaffa: I think being able to know that an install wouldn't brick your device would be good; given the amount of confusion I see about packaging here and there, I think there's also a greater chance of innocent mistakes.18:47
*** myren_ has quit IRC18:49
kpelso working with Nokia on that is out of the question?18:49
bhimare: the unlimited burning, they mean that any track can be burned any number of times, you can burn an infinite number of CDs, but each specific playlist is limited to 7.18:50
bhimaSo you need to re-rip and re-burn to burn more than 7 copies of a CD.18:50
bhimaAs DRM goes, it's not that bad. But it's still evil.18:51
*** k-s has joined #maemo18:53
Jaffabhima: It's worth noting that it's very unlikely any deb for Maemo could truly brick either the 770 or N800 - they'll almost always be recoverable using the flasher (at the expense of user data)18:53
*** myren__ has quit IRC18:54
bhimaJaffa: True. It just seems like it wouldn't be that hard to specify per-app subdirectories for normal apps that appear in the system menus, reducing the risk of even that for most apps.18:55
JaffaIndeed. But the device isn't geared for that: when an RSS feed can result in having to reflash the device and lose user data, it's not something you're going to want to trust :-(18:56
bhimaWhich RSS feed can do that?18:58
*** RpJ has joined #maemo18:58
JaffaIf you had the RSS home applet enabled in OS 2007 v1/2 and subscribed to the planet.maemo.org feed (or some others too IIRC), it would crash the applet at start, which crashed the desktop, which caused the device to reboot. But it did this every time, resulting in an infinite reboot which you could only escape with a reflash (or disabling the watchdogs)18:59

KevinVermai was desperate otherwise palm had lots of well working oss apps23:36
qgilI don't know how well you consider the smartphones have covered the PIM functionality, but this is another element to consider23:36
maddlerKevinVerma: Palm and IT are two completely different classes of devices...23:36
KevinVermajust compare plucker and fbreader, hell of a difference23:36

qgilthe tablets are a more recent product, use a different platform (not Symbian) and are supposed to sync with not-only-Windows23:37

KevinVermaagain, was desperate for a true linux device, otherwise nokia has not been fair to exclude gsm/cdma modem23:38
KevinVermanot in phones but i hope you can imagine wifi does not go everywhere23:38
