lardmanI relented and bought the GTK+ book01:00
lardmansearching the interweb is painful01:00
lcuk:) dead tree01:00
lardmanwell, as long as I don;t burn it there's no CO2 lost ;)01:01
lcukreal books are so much better than the net, i remember poring through the amiga programming manual for months :)01:03
*** christefano has joined #maemo01:03
lcukinformation being so free now is a blessing and a curse - it gets in the way of focus01:03
*** AngieQ has quit IRC01:03
GrackleWell written documentation is great.01:03
GrackleI recommend supermicro's manuals, they are refreshingly well written.01:04
lcukits is essential in my mind - but also a very difficult thing to do and an art form to master01:04
*** tbf has quit IRC01:04
lcukwriting good documentation is as alien to me as coding the dsp ;)01:04
lardmanI far prefer paper for reading, especially for reference01:04
*** mardi__ has quit IRC01:05
*** mardi__ has joined #maemo01:05
*** woglinde has quit IRC01:06
lardmananyway, GTK+ seems pretty nice, and easy too, just need some more readily available reference material to make it less frustrating01:07
*** vcgomes is now known as vcgomes[away]01:07
lcukhave we got it for this platform?01:08
lardmanit's called a book ;)01:08
lcuknot the book you plonker! i mean the library lol01:08
lardmangtk+!01:09
lardmanof course01:09
lcukis it greatly different to the gtk that ive seen? or have i been tinkering with gtk all this time?01:09
* lcuk doesnt know01:09
lardmanall the same01:09
lcukwith the same horrendous c interface ;)01:10
lardmanof course01:10
lardman:)01:10
lcuki dont think ANY c interface is nice actually01:10
lcukim so embedded in vb's object.method(arg) syntax doing method(object,arg) feels wrong01:12
*** Ivan_Chelubeev has left #maemo01:15
*** christefano has quit IRC01:16
*** ignacius has quit IRC01:17
lardmanthe SIBO C  used in the Psion 3 was quite nice01:17
*** christefano has joined #maemo01:17
lcuklardman, nice set of libraries allowing decent device access?01:18
lardmanno, it implemented classes in C01:19
lardmanwas quite nifty01:19
lcuknice01:19
lcukvala does similar ;) it compiles to c01:19
lcuklike the original cfront :)01:19
lcuk(c++ predecessor)01:19
lardmanyeah, this was unenforced by the compiler, just through coding structure01:19
*** datachaos has joined #maemo01:20
lcukheh, with a decent set of macros you could get close01:20
*** florian has joined #maemo01:21
lardmanyeah, I remember someone wrote some for OPL, called it OOPL01:21
lcuki tried it just before the summit - had reference counting and basic inheritence and constructors and destructors and instancing01:21
*** kenne has quit IRC01:23
*** housetier has quit IRC01:24
lcuklardman, awww cant find anything on that (early models in any language stuff interest me greatly)01:24
lcukim goin for the night anyway, inspiration strikes..01:26
lcukgnite lardman01:27
lardmannight lcuk, If I find a link I'll post it01:27
lardmancheck the log tomorrow01:27
lcukk thx01:28
pupniksee if it flattened your neighbors dog?01:29
*** Arnim_ has joined #maemo01:31
lardmanlcuk: well here's OPL (or at least a quick intro): http://www.symbioosi.net/English/opl-programming.html, here's OOPL: http://web.archive.org/web/20050130130448/www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/9577/oopl.html01:36
lardmanI have the sibo SDK somewhere, but can't seem to find it atm (I found it on the interweb back in the old days)01:37
*** rwhitby` is now known as rwhitby01:39
lcukwould a basic like language work on this device - i mean real old style but working fast and well on the graphics screen01:39
*** andrunko has quit IRC01:39
lardmansibo, cool: http://scss.com.au/family/andrew/pdas/psion/ooprog.pdf01:40
lardmanwe have Python, that's pretty basic-like01:40
lcuki suppose its not the  language, but the ide that i mean01:41
*** hellwolf has quit IRC01:41
lardmanI'm not sure the IDE makes much difference really, unless it's something VB-like01:42
lcuksure it does - the closest we have to a designable ide at the moment is numpty physics - stop the program, make changes to the design, rerun01:43
lcukwe don't have that on maemo - development is so disjointed01:43
lcuki code on one machine, write debug statements compile code, execute and read the console rather than feeling the program01:44
lardmanwell Python on machine would work fine, and in fact there are already IDEs that do syntax highlighting iirc01:45
*** k-s[AWAY] is now known as k-s01:45
lcukthe more i talk about this, the more i know im gonna write it ;)01:45
lardman:)01:45
lcuklanguage is only one part - its the gui design, i keep eyeing up my menu key and wanting to press it to stop liqbase01:45
lcukand view the tiletree side on and manipulate it and stuff :)01:46
lcukanother press takes me to the code window01:46
lardmana VB-like app would be cool01:46
lcukand a third carries on running01:46
lcukok :) ill see how far i get ;) i already dev on device, so even if the gui designer had to recompile, i know what im up against01:47
lcukbut if i put in python bindings it will be simpler anyway01:47
lcukkot really doesnt like python ;)01:48
lardmanI still prefer dev'ing on a PC01:48
*** pupnik has quit IRC01:48
lardmanthough for something like Python, I'm considering going on device01:48
lcukits the UI design aspect that appeals to me01:48
lardmanhmm, definitely do that off-device!01:48
lardmanthough I suppose there's no reason for that01:48
lcukim sick of sketching out what i want and then having to go code it - its a piece of piss to save as template and get the code for me01:49
*** disco_stu has joined #maemo01:50
lcukin the released version of liqbase I allow any sketch to have an arbitary name, im allowing selection of named sketches and insertion into a sketch (stamp tool is for ANY sketch not just self..)01:51
lcukso i should just be able to write a code template and have it executed as required01:51
lcukill have a look this weekend at python binding01:51
*** benh has quit IRC01:51
lardmanI'll have to see the finished thing I think, sorry brain is a bit busy with treeviews atm01:52
lcukit should automatically create me a typed tree of tiles - how to link that to code im not sure yet01:52
lcuksos mine ;)01:52
lcukanyway lardmna, gnite again lol :P01:53
lardmannight night :)01:53

pupniki want to send the music playing from my laptop or PC to my 770 connected to the home stereo, while also allowing the 770 to play locally06:17
* pupnik ponders what is best solution for that06:18
johnxdo you plan to remote control the 770?06:19
*** eton has quit IRC06:19
pupnikjohnx: well.  right now i play stuff on the 770 by ssh-ing to it06:23
pupnikbut someone sends me a mp3 link on my laptop..  then i think well... i'd like to route that audio to the 77006:23
pupnikso i guess the level would be a network-able sound server akin to esd06:24
johnxrouting audio is difficult, but running an mpd server on the 770 and mounting a share on your desktop would be easier06:24
pupnikmpd?06:24
johnxhttp://musicpd.org06:24
johnxbasically it's just the backend of a music player06:24
johnxthen there are a ton of "clients" that connect to it and tell it to play music06:25
johnxthe music has to be on an fs that the daemon can see though06:25
pupnikseems like a good approach for some things.06:26
*** matt_c has quit IRC06:27
pupnikbut i'd prefer the more general "send my sound to computer 1, 3 and 5"06:27
johnxwell, the reason I suggested mpd was that it's a heck of a lot easier :)06:27
pupnikyes06:27
*** matt_c has joined #maemo06:28
johnxa remote esd server should do the trick I guess06:28
pupnikah esd does it06:29
pupnikhttp://developer.gnome.org/doc/whitepapers/esd/06:29
johnxI wonder if the 770 has the bandwidth to handle it...06:29
pupnik44.1khz stereo needs 1.4 mb/s06:31
pupniki could also set up icecast mp3/ogg streaming on each source computer, then have a client on the homestereo770 listen permanently to each source computer's stream06:33
pupnikicecast+darkice... will stream anything going over your local soundcard06:34
johnxthat's an interesting idea06:34
johnxis that 1.4MB/s or 1.4Mb/s BTW?06:34
johnx<- lazy :)06:34
pupnikbits06:37
johnxah, that's not too bad then06:37
*** n0mis has joined #maemo06:38
*** nomis has quit IRC06:38
pupnikyeah i'd prefer to avoid the mp3/ogg encoding if posisble.  so maybe only allow one network esd client to the 770 at a time06:39
johnxan esd server can have as many clients as you want as long as the bandwidth is there06:40
pupnikyar06:40
johnxit's just that all the sound will get mixed and sound horrific if two people play mp3s at the same time :D06:41
pupnikyup06:42
pupnikthe mpd and xmms2 solutions are good if all you want is to play from a collection though06:42
pupnikbut i'd also like to send the sound there, if i'm playing a movie from a laptop06:42
johnxa combination would work well too :)06:43
johnxno reason to go with just one06:43
pupnikalso true06:43
pupnikwould also be nice to have the 770 scroll the songtitle in a huge font06:43
johnxthere's a couple mpd clients that will do that I think06:44
johnxlike mpdosd or something06:44
pupnikty, this is good stuff06:45
johnxsure, I'm actually thinking of a use for my zaurus 5500 at the same time :)06:46
pupnikthen we can also hack this into a mpd/xmms2 client  "Querying a database using open source voice control software"  http://www.linux.com/feature/13467106:47
johnxon the mpc side you could do the whole thing in a shell script with the "mpc" client06:47
pupnikhooray for the console06:48
pupnikand pipes06:48

pupniki'm hoping to stumble over a thinkpad X40 lying on the street07:12
*** yerga has quit IRC07:13
johnxthey're nice little laptops07:13
johnxI was looking at used X32 thinkpads the other day07:13
pupnikthey have usb2.0?07:13
johnxit's centrino / pentium M so I think yes07:13
pupnikmy thinkpad A30 only has usb1.0 and that sucks07:14
johnxthat's a PIII, right?07:14
johnxP4 added usb2 if my memory serves07:14
pupnikyes.  i don't want a p4 laptop07:14
*** yerga has joined #maemo07:14
johnxhah. no one does07:14
pupnikeither p3 or a real pentium M07:14
johnxthat's why I ended up with a P4 laptop for free :/07:14
johnxthe x series never had a P4 though, so you're in luck :)07:15
pupnikwould you take an x32 over x40?07:15
johnxdepends on price I suppose07:16
*** k-s is now known as k-s[AWAY]07:16
johnxI'd take an x200 over both :)07:16
pupnikmmm... the keyboard + trackpoint is just ... physically addictive07:17
* pupnik pondering selling the acer aspire one for a small old thinkpad07:18
johnxHow much is an X40 around you?07:19
pupnikthe ebay sharks want 320-340 euro07:22
pupnikbout 400 usd07:22
johnxAn X32 goes for about the same locally, high $300s to low $400s07:23
johnxUSD07:23
pupnikbah, others wanting 430 euro for an x31 with 512MB07:24
johnxha! that's pretty steep07:25

johnxmorning :D08:40
johnxworking on making proper deb packages for poky's matchbox desktop08:41
Stskeepshehe, okay08:41
johnxwell it looks nice and I find it usable in angstrom/poky08:42
johnxhow goes the maemo-gtk vs gtk fight on your side?08:43
*** beford|n810 has quit IRC08:43
Stskeepsi wonder about nature of maemo gtk - should it be a drop in replacement for gtk, with certain optimizations that make also normal apps work a little more better on mobile ui, with some extensions to add in for mobile08:43
Stskeepsand then we file bugs on when it collides with normal wms/etc08:43
johnxhmm, well there's precedent for that. Angstrom's gtk has some mobile-specific changes, in the file chooser for example08:44
*** bergie has joined #maemo08:45
johnxso just have "maemo-gtk provides gtk" ?08:47
Stskeepsso it's "not a bug" when normal maemo apps doesn't link into normal gtk, but it's a bug when normal gtk apps doesn't work on maemo gtk08:47
Stskeepssomething like that i guess08:48
melmothStskeeps: as far as i have underestood gtk app will work on maemo, hildon is just a layer of specific widget build on top of gtk08:48
johnxmelmoth, the problem is that maemo's version of gtk is actually different and somewhat incompatible with upstream gtk08:48
Stskeepsmelmoth: yeah, but i go a step further, maemo gtk without hildon/matchbox08:49
Stskeepstry a dialog box.. you'll see08:49
Stskeepsimpossible to get away08:49
Stskeeps / notification box08:49
Stskeepsjohnx: how was it again? i could use it as a drop in replacement but there were use case bugs08:50
*** juergbi has joined #maemo08:50
johnxI guess incompatible isn't exactly the right term...08:51
johnxI guess as long as maemo-gtk is a strict superset of gtk it's not as big of a problem08:52
*** vincenzo88 has joined #maemo08:52
vincenzo88Hi !08:52
johnxhi vincenzo8808:53
Stskeepsjohnx: i guess maemo gtk has it's place in a mobile dist if it doesn't mess normal usage up08:54
*** fie has joined #maemo08:54
johnxagreed, as long as nokia is willing to take on the effort of essentially maintaining a "forked" gtk and continues to bring new upstream versions in as needed08:55
johnxI guess one can basically think of gtk as a generic library and maemo-gtk and vanilla-gtk are just providers of it08:55
vincenzo88someone program with Qt on Nokia N800/810 ? (i don't know GTK :()08:55
*** Interocitor has quit IRC08:56
johnxyou can use qt on the n8x0. there's some info here: http://qt4.garage.maemo.org/08:57
Stskeepsjohnx: that's one step on the way atleast if we can convince nokia of this :P08:57
johnxI haven't tried it though08:57
vincenzo88Thanks johnx i have see this link but i don't know if it's reliable08:59
johnxNokia will provide more and more support for Qt in the future. They own the company that makes Qt :)09:00
vincenzo88Good :D09:00
*** fie3 has quit IRC09:04
StskeepsGeneralAntilles: I wonder if a wiki-based discussion from community side "How would you like Maemo 5 to be like, as a developer" could be, where we try from scratch to envision a system from kernel level to hildon09:09
Stskeepsfor nokia to take inspiration from09:09
johnxStskeeps, might be a little late for maemo 509:09
Stskeepsjohnx: i'm not so sure honestly09:09
Stskeepssomething in their statements tell me they're not as far as they would like09:10
johnxwell if they'll really have an SDK preview out in november/december that means a lot of the interesting stuff must be set in stone09:10
Stskeepsthey released a package diff already, and it's just a normal debian + maemo gtk + hildon sdk09:11
Stskeepscan be distro-independent09:11

GeneralAntilles(detailed)09:38
Stskeepswell i have some ideas in my head :P09:38
Stskeepshttp://mobile.slashdot.org/mobile/08/10/29/1710220.shtml <- kinda struck a chord with me (unrelated, but related to the thing about maemo mattering as a not-only-nokia-platform)09:39

GeneralAntillesAlright, as h-a-m is turning into the pilot program for the open development process, I think it would behoove use to get behind it as much as possible.10:24
RST38hSts: my guess is that it will compete with WinMobile and cause Microsoft to make previous WinMobile versions free10:24

GeneralAntillesProbably the biggest reason the MicroB branding applies to only the engine now is because the UI is closed10:26
StsN800RST38h, i guess nokia may take things from community into 'stable'.. like on other distros10:26
GeneralAntillesand lumping in closed shit with MicroB's good name dirties the brand.10:27

*** closet_ has joined #maemo10:27
t_s_oand at the same time confuses the hell out of everything...10:27
RST38hGeneral: The funniest thing is, the current "microb ui" is really really thin wrapper around browserd10:27
GeneralAntillesSince the browser UI in Fremantle is going open, there's no reason not to include it in the branding10:27
RST38hWhy the hell make it closed is beyond me10:27
GeneralAntillesand strong arguments for it.10:27
t_s_ohmm, if its going open, anyone attempting a backport?10:28
StsN800RST38h, the user should be easily able to change to 'unstable' i guess10:28
RST38hOn the other hand, Jaaksi is right: open source only makes sense when there are people willing to work on it10:28
t_s_oRST38h: i smell a "differenziation" reason...10:28
GeneralAntillesWell: Opera (all closed) -> MicroB (open engine) -> MicroB (open everything)10:28

RST38hGeneral: Maybe nieeds to be clarified but I hope you see the meaning10:39
GeneralAntillesOne Wal-Mart location certainly isn't vital to Wal-Mart's success, so you mean to say it isn't commercial?10:39

johnxcityLights, are you using IMAP or POP3?10:40
cityLightsI think that the file in-charge of the programs on my device got messed up, which file is it?10:40
cityLightsjohnx, I fixed the problem with the email10:41

johnxalso it might need to be regenerated ... somehow10:42
cityLightshow may I recover it?10:42
johnxGeneralAntilles, did you ever manage to fix your menu or did you end up reflashing10:42
cityLightsalso, what files are backed up when using the provided backup program? is it just /home?10:42
GeneralAntillesjohnx, yerga fixed it for me somehow10:42
GeneralAntillesThough I lost all my menu positions.10:42

qwerty12yergaGeneralAntilles, cp /etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu /home/user/.osso/menus/ ?10:43
johnxRST38h, so by commercial you mean "a commercial product important enough to make or break a company"?10:43
GeneralAntillesSomething like that10:43

*** fab has joined #maemo11:04
GeneralAntillesYeah, as would I.11:05
JaffaGeneralAntilles: I can see its point for contact management, but the example applications are too disparate for it to make sense. If we have "Personal & Social", it makes sense for the sports tracker type thing suggests it's too wide ranging.11:06
GeneralAntilleshttp://www.apple.com/iphone/appstore/11:06

GeneralAntillesCheck the # app in "Books"11:06

*** hellwolf-n810 has joined #maemo11:07
GeneralAntillesI guess at worst we'll see what happens with the current list and modify it in a few months if need be.11:09
johnxI can live with that I guess11:09
johnxit would be nice if we didn't change it except when people were being forced to repackage anyways (new binary architecture, new API, changed pcakge names, etc)11:10
johnxactually, if we get debtags at some point this becomes largely irrelevant11:11
JaffaNo-ones actually suggested *how* debtags will solve any of the problems, have they?11:13
GeneralAntillesJaffa, magic bullets are magic.11:13
X-FadeJaffa: Marius did.11:13
X-FadeYou can add multple tags to decribe a package. So it will show up in multiple 'categories'.11:14
JaffaWhere? What tags are defined, for example? How on earth would the UI work?11:14
X-FadeMarius to use debtags _as_ categories it seems.11:14
X-FadeSo not abusing the section part but using debtags to replace that.11:15
GeneralAntillesAre debtags being used anywhere interesting currently?11:15
X-FadeSo functionality would be the same.11:15
JaffaX-Fade: So you can have less precise categories and the same app show up in wherever the app author wants, to cater for all cases? Seems like it'd encourage lazier categorisation to me; and you still have the issue of which tags to define ;-)11:15
*** hellwolf-n810 has quit IRC11:15

johnxJaffa, fine. where do you put a network-enabled dictionary? What about an educational game?11:17
JaffaFor example, a library doesn't buy 10 copies of a book and put it in different parts of the library so you can find it.11:17
GeneralAntillesOr somebody figures "my solitaire game uses the network for high scores, so it should go in networking"11:17
GeneralAntillesDictionary goes in Utilities11:17
GeneralAntillesEducational game goes in education.11:17

GeneralAntillesHrm11:22
GeneralAntillesActually, searching isn't a bad way to reduce the reliance on categories11:22
X-Fadejohnx: Sure, but it goes to show that finding things this ways isn't easy either. No casual browsing here.11:23
GeneralAntillesOK, what about this, we have a search button in the toolbar, but it sucks UI-wise11:23
X-FadeGeneralAntilles: Combined with at 'What's new' view.11:23
X-FadeGeneralAntilles: And Popular applications.11:23
GeneralAntillesWhat about taking a page out of MicroB's book and using the search button to toggle a search bar?11:23
GeneralAntillesThat would act as a filter.11:23
johnxGeneralAntilles++11:23

GeneralAntillesHa11:24

GeneralAntillesTagging is really more useful when combined with search rather than browsing.11:25

GeneralAntillesSo, if you search for "browser" when viewing the "Network" category, it would only filter that list.12:53
lardman+112:54
GeneralAntillesThat's something that really irritates me about the Finder12:54
cityLightsany idea how to mark a url safe for HTTPS even when cert is not good?12:54
GeneralAntillesThey have a search bar on each window, but it does a global search instead of a search of the window's contents.12:54
lardmanCan we add an extra column so we can multi-select12:55
GeneralAntillesN810 owners, can you use the keyboard to jump to an item in application menus?12:55

cityLights click continue and can put in my uni password12:57
GeneralAntillesMaybe12:57
GeneralAntillesShould be discussed12:57
GeneralAntillesat the very least, you should be able to select like the file mananger12:58

cityLightsforgot that12:58
GeneralAntillesand maybe there should be an "install all" button for search results.12:58
cityLightsnow: where is it updated?12:58
cityLightswhich file?12:58
lardmanwell if the listview were updated differently it might not matter too much, though it is annoying having to wait between selections to install another app12:58
GeneralAntillesYeah. :\12:58
lardmanGeneralAntilles: no, not an install all12:59
GeneralAntillesqwerty12's current build seems to render a bit faster.12:59
GeneralAntilleslardman, so, instead, you'd have to mark each item for installation?12:59
lardmanthe list shouldn;t be destroyed, it should just have rows removed12:59
lardmanyes12:59
GeneralAntillesI'd say that's not an unreasonable thing to put on the toolbar in a search result12:59
lardmanvery unlikely you'd want that from a search though13:00
GeneralAntillesFair enough13:00
lardmanif I search for "patience", I'd chose one not all of them to install13:00
cityLightsok, bye for no13:00
cityLightsnow13:00
lardmanGeneralAntilles: when you highlight an app name, could add a button to the row "Mark for Installation", then use the "Install" button on the bottom to install all13:01

solcaI prefer to boot android as-is19:09
RST38hbut is there a way to do it?19:09
RST38h'cause Android by itself is of not much practical use - it is a java machine19:09
johnxif it can be booted, you *should* be able to chroot, and set things up with a script, then run the runtime19:10
johnxit'll take over the fb though19:10

*** zap has joined #maemo19:12
johnxStskeeps, honestly I don't see much point in having debian behind android as-is since they use their own libc19:12
solcaStskeeps: android uses the bionic libc19:12
solcawhich is not a problem just that is redundant19:12

*** Pebby has joined #maemo19:13
Stskeepsjohnx: for the kicks :P19:13
RST38hjohnx: that isn't much of a problem though19:13
Stskeepssolca: think you might have better luck with reflashing initfs, flashing deblet bootmenu, writing a /linuxrc to handle the boot for you19:13
* RST38h has got to console prompt!19:14
Stskeepsand then you have a sane platform to try out android and get things crackin'19:14
RST38hYEssss, my precioussss consssole prompt...19:14
johnxStskeeps, sure I guess so, but it will involve booting debian, chrooting into your android install then running android and ignoring everything going on in the debian side for the most part19:14

RST38hsts: That may be a goal on its own although I doubt it is a very large niche19:22
* binky should buy a N800...19:22
lardmanbinky: my point is, if you flash, you have to power down completely, so it makes no odds19:22

GeneralAntillespower on, more accurately.19:22
binkyIt turns off itself after a couple of minutes19:22

lardmanso taking the battery out to see your actual MAC is no worse than switching off and then reflashing19:23

solcahttp://blogs.zdnet.com/BTL/?p=1043621:55
unixSnobsolca: thanks for the tip - i'll try that if ogg doesn't work.  However, it wouldn't be ideal, because the source files are rough quality voicemails21:56

unixSnobhmm.. ogg doesn't work.. "unable to recognize file type..."21:56
unixSnobwhat a pain in the ass.  flac is not supported by sox21:57
qwerty12_N800Doesn't your phone record as .amr? I can play calls recorded from my phone on the N800 without conversion.21:57
solcaunixSnob: for voice speex is a good choice too21:57
woglindehm21:57
unixSnobany other audio formats i should try?21:57
woglindeI thought the gestreamer can handle ogg21:57
qwerty12_N800woglinde, not by default21:58
* unixSnob tries wav next21:58
woglindeqwerty12 whats the default then?21:58
woglindeand why is nokia failling at this point21:58
qwerty12_N800woglinde, mp3, amr? :p. ogg support has to be installed separatly21:59
woglindeqwerty12 you are sure nokia paid the mp3 license?21:59
qwerty12_N800woglinde, i'd hope so...21:59
solcaat least nokia should support the free codecs out of the box (flac,speex,ogg)22:00
l7yeah, it is strange how they don't22:00
l7maybe because it's more work for them22:00
woglindeor do sisvel have some fear to sue nokia22:00

woglindehm22:12
woglindeyou could rename it a little bit22:12
