| GeneralAntilles | lol | 00:55 |
| Stskeeps | no wonder noone can figure out how it works | 00:55 |
| GeneralAntilles | powerlaunch typically hasn't been stable enough when I've tried to use it. | 00:55 |
| GeneralAntilles | It needs another layer of abstraction for humans. | 00:55 |
| Stskeeps | oh, i agree, but it is a systemui+mce replacement | 00:56 |

| baddu | hello, is there any way to use device file remotely ? nfs seems not be an option | 15:00 |
| RST38h | BTW, http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/11/17/dziuba_netbooks_and_smartphones/ | 15:01 |
| johnx | not that I've heard of recently. what exactly are you trying to do? | 15:01 |
| RST38h | baddu: You can use scp over WiFi | 15:01 |
| RST38h | or bluetooth object exchange if you are close enough | 15:02 |
| *** Meiz_n810 has quit IRC | 15:02 | |
| baddu | the plan was to use tv-card of a linux pc with n800 | 15:02 |
| johnx | you should probably do this at a higher level than direct device access | 15:02 |
| GAN800 | RST38h, software upgrade. . . . | 15:03 |
| johnx | RST38h, looks like trolling rather than useful criticism :/ | 15:03 |
| GAN800 | and are the Chick-fil-A cows some kind of novelty? | 15:03 |
| baddu | johnx: do you know that there is a project or something for that? i suppose using ssh and player of the pc would be too heavy | 15:04 |
| johnx | baddu, maybe look at a mythtv client, or mediaserv | 15:04 |
| *** Ramzeska has quit IRC | 15:05 | |
| johnx | if you're already using mythtv (or something similar) things are lot simpler | 15:05 |
| baddu | i guess it would work nicely if nfs would have exported device files | 15:05 |
| johnx | probably not | 15:05 |
| baddu | ok, i believe you :) | 15:05 |
| GAN800 | lol, I love it when websites scroll a giant advertisement right into the middle of your window from somewhere offscreen | 15:05 |
| johnx | even if it worked the way you think it would, the latency would be pretty incredible | 15:05 |
| baddu | it doesn't support anwyay | 15:06 |
| Guysoft42 | hey, is there a way to start up a nokia n810 in mute? | 15:06 |
| baddu | i don't use anything yet, i checked that maemo myth but it was pretty immature | 15:06 |
| baddu | i compiled dvb support to mplayer .. probably i could start with that | 15:07 |
| GAN800 | Somebody should link Peter to the dozens of old tablet name threads. | 15:07 |
| johnx | well, if you install mythtv on the machine with the TV card and just use the web based UI to set which show to record you can just open the recorded file from the server | 15:07 |
| oilinki | baddu: you have an pc with dvb card and wish to see the show live? | 15:08 |
| *** etrunko has joined #maemo | 15:08 | |
| baddu | yeah i at least dream to see the live broadcast instead of recorded | 15:09 |
| oilinki | would the vlc streaming option be any help? | 15:09 |
| baddu | i don't know much about that.. do you know if it wuold? :) | 15:10 |
| baddu | s/wuold/would/ | 15:11 |
| infobot | baddu meant: i don't know much about that.. do you know if it would? :) | 15:11 |
| oilinki | well, I tried it with sopcast at some point... I got an picture, but n810 could not handle the feed very well. try it out, if it would suit for you. | 15:11 |
| baddu | i probably do that , thanks | 15:12 |

| RST38h | johnx: As to the article, the author does make a valid point | 15:19 |
| RST38h | johnx: Once it looks like a laptop, people expect it to work like a laptop | 15:19 |
| johnx | in an unnecessarily trollish tone to get people kvetching about it | 15:19 |

| RST38h | They are a bunch of cynical snobbish brits, whaddayawant? After all, it is what makes them different from 99% other "tech journalists" | 15:22 |

| RST38h | true, this stuff has been known for quite a while now | 15:23 |

| RST38h | THAT is what kills Linux on those "ne-tops" :) | 15:26 |
| johnx | well the linux distro on most of them is the weak point | 15:26 |
| johnx | shipping a really vanilla ubuntu would be a monumental step forward | 15:27 |
| RST38h | yes, they sell much better with XP :) | 15:27 |
| RST38h | MSI top honcho quoted return rates being 3 times higher for Linux running nettops (same make and model) | 15:27 |
| johnx | well there are more factors at work than linux vs windows | 15:28 |
| GAN800 | ^ | 15:28 |
| RST38h | johnx: Another factor is the CPU speed | 15:29 |
| GAN800 | The tablet form-factor stuff has the advantage of not being remotely laptop-like | 15:29 |
| RST38h | GAN: exactly. | 15:29 |
| GAN800 | people don't generally care if their cellphones have Office | 15:29 |
| RST38h | smae with smartphones | 15:29 |
| johnx | I can agree with that overall. People have problems dealing with small changes more than large changes | 15:29 |
| johnx | the problem is fundamental inflexibility in people's minds :) | 15:30 |
| RST38h | johnx: presenting people with something that looks familiar but is different freaks them out | 15:30 |
| GAN800 | I'd wonder if pushing a non-Windows-esque UI for Linux on netbooks would help. | 15:30 |
| *** errordeveloper has joined #maemo | 15:30 | |
| errordeveloper | hey .. | 15:30 |
| RST38h | GAN: So far it does not | 15:30 |
| errordeveloper | i'm trying to figure out a trick | 15:30 |
| errordeveloper | so the files put onto a memory card when connected via usb | 15:31 |
| GAN800 | RST38h, well, also one that doesn't suck. But I guess those don't materialize out of thin air. | 15:31 |
| errordeveloper | would appear to mamemo as they got uid=29999 | 15:31 |
| errordeveloper | not the id of the user who put the files from the linux box | 15:32 |
| johnx | RST38h, well so far netbook manufacturers have assumed that having some lone programmer put a weeks into customizing a linux distro rather than hiring someone who knows what the hell they're doing is a good idea | 15:32 |
| RST38h | GAN: Mimicking Windoze seems to be a better marketing move at the moment | 15:32 |
| errordeveloper | so i'd like to add something to fstab of the linux machine | 15:32 |
| RST38h | GAN: Both ASUS and MSI have non-Windoze Linux UIs | 15:32 |
| RST38h | johnx: That is normal given that theu are Chinese | 15:32 |
| johnx | RST38h, wow...very classy stereotyping | 15:33 |
| RST38h | johnx: It is much cheaper and corresponds to their "we can do it ourselves" mentality | 15:33 |
| RST38h | johnx: Oh, I know what I am talking about. | 15:33 |
| RST38h | johnx: But just wait and see - the next wave will either switch to XP or use a better desktop | 15:33 |
| johnx | anyways, asus actually is a bad example since they did a pretty good job with their linux version | 15:33 |
| GAN800 | johnx, little reactionary there? :P | 15:34 |
| johnx | errordeveloper, is this with the card mounted as vfat or ext2/3? | 15:34 |
| johnx | GAN800, I don't react well to sweeping statements like that | 15:35 |
| RST38h | johnx: Biases exist for a reason | 15:35 |
| johnx | anyways, hp is doing their own thing too | 15:35 |
| johnx | they do look to be doing a better job of it though. | 15:36 |
| RST38h | johnx: As long as you do not persist in your bias, it will help rather than harm | 15:36 |
| *** data|2 has joined #maemo | 15:36 | |
| RST38h | HP is much more expensive though, almostlike a real computer | 15:36 |

| RST38h | Ah it is 380 now? | 15:37 |
| RST38h | Cool | 15:37 |
| johnx | not now, actually january | 15:38 |
| johnx | it appears they're taking time to get the linux stuff right | 15:38 |
| johnx | still, I tend to dislike the "thin, slick looking shell that launches normal software" approach | 15:38 |
| * RST38h wonders whether Nokia will kill Maemo off as part of the downsizing strategy =( | 15:38 | |

| RST38h | GAN: All it takes is a single executive decision =( | 15:41 |
| johnx | the difference being that msi did a crap job on their linux distro and asus actually put work into it | 15:41 |
| RST38h | GAN: I kinda like Symbian but I would rather like to see Nokia switch to Maemo | 15:41 |
| *** danilocesar has joined #maemo | 15:41 | |

| johnx | GAN800, had to take a swing at you. :D my point being that some people can tolerate stuff that just drives others crazy | 15:48 |
| Veggen | RST38h: ..so my point was that probably a bad Linux-install made by people not knowing what they are doing is worse than Windows, but doing it properly, things are different. | 15:48 |
| GAN800 | I had my grand awakening just after I bought my Camry | 15:48 |
| GAN800 | But at least it's a 5-speed | 15:48 |
| Veggen | And you *will* have a lot of people that does not grasp the concept that "another OS" might not be "exactly as Windows" :) | 15:49 |
| johnx | right, and some of the people once handed a desktop UI on a handheld will wake up and say "this sucks, it isn't at all what I wanted." | 15:49 |
| johnx | and some will tolerate it for some reason the rest of us can't fathom | 15:49 |
| johnx | Veggen, the problem is thar marketing willfully contributes to that confusion | 15:50 |

| qwerty12 | RST38h, Sure, I think it would be great to support for more languages but I don't see the rest of the UI strings in maemo suddenly getting translated | 17:42 |
| rm_you | propane is usually barbeque / older gas stoves | 17:42 |
| rm_you | newer use natural gas i think | 17:42 |
| rm_you | or else you can just choose | 17:42 |
| RST38h | rm_you: "natural gas" is a mix of propane, butane and probably a few more | 17:42 |
| lardman | rm_you: I thought propane was only used for boats (as it is lighter than air), while butane is the usual bottled fuel for other apps? | 17:42 |
| RST38h | + of course a component to create the smell | 17:43 |
| rm_you | don't think so | 17:43 |
| disco_stu | NIT's are going to run with gas ? | 17:43 |
| lardman | :) | 17:43 |

| rm_you | camping stoves use like... white gas | 17:44 |
| rm_you | or something like that | 17:44 |
| disco_stu | here we use isobutane and isopropane | 17:44 |

| GeneralAntilles | Rather than a user having to reselect that folder everytime the package is upgraded, it'll check to see if a location has already been picked and suppress the selection dialog if so. | 20:23 |

| lcuk2 | GeneralAntilles, that reads really nicely, however i think its gonna get lost in the churn, an additional suggestion would be to see about getting these kind of notes appended to the invitation to upload to extras mail | 20:49 |
| GeneralAntilles | lcuk2, I've got a wiki page hanging around somewhere. | 20:49 |
| GeneralAntilles | A link to http://hildon-app-mgr.garage.maemo.org/packaging-stable.html in the invite email would work. | 20:49 |

| Meiz__n810 | i will try to debootstrap manually | 21:43 |
| jordan_dev | I'm trying to compile an app for the Nokia n810 using Scratchbox2. The app needs to use a kernel Mutex, but when I include mutex.h, I get "error: field 'wait_list' has incomplete type", and the same error for two other fields. | 21:43 |
| Meiz__n810 | Stskeeps: i'll try one more time with installer | 21:45 |

| Stskeeps | jordan_dev: and you're using maemo sdk+? | 21:47 |
| *** mardi__ has quit IRC | 21:47 | |
| jordan_dev | yes | 21:47 |
| Stskeeps | why a kernel mutex and not pthread, though? | 21:49 |
| jordan_dev | i have an event driven app, a bunch of the event handlers might access some piece of data at the same time, and i want to synchronize access | 21:50 |
| jordan_dev | kernel mutex seems like the easiest, lowest overhead method of accomplishing this | 21:50 |
| jordan_dev | and these events will be triggered 20-30 times per second, and so low overhead is important | 21:51 |
| jordan_dev | this is the first time I've worked on an app that uses any of the kernel headers though, so I'm thinking that I'm missing something simple and fundamental | 21:52 |
| jordan_dev | in my rootstrap/usr/include/linux, the version.h file has 2.6.16, and I know that the Nokia is using 2.6.21 | 21:53 |
| Stskeeps | sure you're using the right rootstrap and not some bora one? | 21:54 |
| jordan_dev | it's definitely a diablo rootstrap, although i'm not sure it's been updated since the latest OS2008 release | 21:55 |
| jordan_dev | I still don't think that this is what's causing the problem though, because I've checked the mutex.h from 2.6.21, and the same line that's causing problems is in there | 21:55 |
| Stskeeps | maybe mutex.h depends on some other .h? system headers arent always honest about their needs | 21:56 |
| *** _danilocesar is now known as danilocesar | 21:56 | |

| jordan_dev | I'll deal with the problem of running the app on the n810 later, but now I'd just like to get the thing to compile | 22:07 |

| lcuk2 | RST38h, it needs everything i think | 22:35 |
| lcuk2 | you sound like you saw the problem but just missed a step out | 22:36 |
| *** cowbellemoo has quit IRC | 22:36 | |
| RST38h | Yea, it works! | 22:36 |
| Stskeeps | Meiz_n810: sounds good | 22:36 |
| RST38h | does not need some of these but the important thing is to set events BEFORE showing the widget | 22:36 |
| lcuk2 | ahh (i didnt mean all the event masks - it obviously needed just the ones you were interested in | 22:37 |
| lcuk2 | anyway, it worked \o/ | 22:37 |
| *** jordan_dev has left #maemo | 22:38 | |

| lcuk2 | does anyone know how slow bluetooth is, ie is it practical to allow local file sync between pairs of n8x0s in reasonable time? | 22:55 |
| *** christefano has joined #maemo | 22:56 | |
| LinuxCode | lcuk2, depends on chipset i believe | 22:57 |
| *** ron1n has quit IRC | 22:57 | |
| LinuxCode | what are you syncing ? | 22:57 |
| LinuxCode | and hi ;-} | 22:57 |
| lcuk2 | hiya lc, im thinking user info and recent sketches of registered people | 22:57 |
| lcuk2 | its a pain in the ass to pick up and draw on the wrong tablet | 22:58 |
| lcuk2 | i wanna autosync | 22:58 |
| Guysoft42 | hey, how do i tell gpe when the week starts? (its on sunday here,not monday) | 22:58 |
| LinuxCode | Guysoft42, never looked | 22:58 |
| LinuxCode | i might be wrong but im sure there was an option | 22:58 |
| lcuk2 | let each tablet build up its own media river, but then when it gets in range of its buddy it will sync | 22:59 |
| LinuxCode | might have been in evolution | 22:59 |
| LinuxCode | lcuk2, ahhh hmm | 22:59 |
| GeneralAntilles | Call it 120KB/sec | 22:59 |
| lcuk2 | lol | 22:59 |
| *** hannesw has joined #maemo | 23:00 | |
| lcuk2 | thanks gen, i gather that going like the clappers will drain battery more than most | 23:00 |
| * lcuk2 might make the sync one way: downstream | 23:00 | |
| GeneralAntilles | I've always wanted sync with FBReader | 23:00 |
| lcuk2 | have everything end up on one big desktop machine (then out onto the wider internet) | 23:00 |
| lcuk2 | heh GeneralAntilles :) book positions | 23:01 |
| lcuk2 | i had that between desktop and my pda | 23:01 |
| GeneralAntilles | I have a bunch of different devices I read them on | 23:01 |
| *** svu has joined #maemo | 23:01 | |
| GeneralAntilles | so just being able to pick up any one of them and go would be great. | 23:01 |
| lcuk2 | then threw it totally when i got the dead tree of the same book | 23:01 |
| lcuk2 | that actually sounds quite nice gen :) similar to what im thinking | 23:02 |
| *** behdad has quit IRC | 23:02 | |
| GeneralAntilles | It wouldn't be terribly hard to implement | 23:02 |
| GeneralAntilles | I was actually considering doing it myself there for a while | 23:02 |
| lcuk2 | tick select folders/files | 23:02 |
| *** behdad has joined #maemo | 23:02 | |
| * Stskeeps would prefer a tablet being manifestation of taking my home along, o my work home | 23:02 | |
| GeneralAntilles | cloud stuff | 23:03 |
| lcuk2 | cloud doesnt work though without internet | 23:03 |
| GeneralAntilles | Yeah | 23:03 |
| lcuk2 | and internet is not yet everywhere | 23:03 |
| lcuk2 | :( | 23:03 |
| GeneralAntilles | Until we have ubiquitous connectivity and very long battery life | 23:03 |
| lcuk2 | saves on battery at least | 23:03 |
| *** dforsyth_ has quit IRC | 23:03 | |
| Stskeeps | GeneralAntilles: cloud or cloud.. i believe in personal clouds | 23:03 |
| GeneralAntilles | Sync solutions are sorta halfway | 23:03 |
| *** dforsyth has joined #maemo | 23:03 | |
| GeneralAntilles | lcuk2, libconic will probably help. | 23:04 |
| lcuk2 | ewwwwwww Stskeeps, your personal cloud is green | 23:04 |
| *** svu__ has quit IRC | 23:04 | |
| * Stskeeps 's project once m-r works is to have a solution that probes his cellphone through AT commands which cell id it is in and reacts accordingily | 23:04 | |
| GeneralAntilles | I'd really like to see a phonelink setup that actually works | 23:05 |
| GeneralAntilles | caller id popup | 23:05 |
| GeneralAntilles | Choose to answer the call through your tablet. | 23:05 |
| GeneralAntilles | Sorta like Skype or BluePhoneElite on OS X. | 23:05 |
| Stskeeps | so it starts looking for my work WLAN when i get close to it, log on to the municipality wlan when im near it .. etc | 23:06 |
| *** AngieQ has quit IRC | 23:06 | |
| GeneralAntilles | Desktop applet that you can make calls, send and review texts and call logs with. | 23:06 |
| lcuk2 | pssst gen, thats called a phone | 23:07 |
| *** svu__ has joined #maemo | 23:07 | |
| GeneralAntilles | Well, the idea is so you don't have to take your phone out of your pocket. | 23:07 |
| lcuk2 | dont you have to to like answer it? | 23:08 |
| GeneralAntilles | Typing out a text on the tablet's keyboard is much easier than doing it on a phone keyboard. | 23:08 |
| lcuk2 | that i agree with | 23:08 |
| GeneralAntilles | The idea is to have the tablet act as a handsfree device. | 23:08 |
| lcuk2 | though my phone fecked that up major style | 23:08 |
| GeneralAntilles | So the phone routes calls through your tablet | 23:08 |
| lcuk2 | it has a computer link thing where i can send texts whilst its connected via bt | 23:08 |
| GeneralAntilles | Say you're eating lunch at a coffee shop browsing the web on your tablet | 23:08 |
| Stskeeps | i don't mind the thought of a bluetooth dongle that is a gsm device really.. | 23:09 |
| lcuk2 | but the stupid dumb flocking thing sends a text then sits with a dialog box on the phones screen | 23:09 |
| GeneralAntilles | call comes in and pops up a banner with caller id and the option to pick up. | 23:09 |
| lcuk2 | and wont do anything till i find the phone | 23:09 |
| lcuk2 | GeneralAntilles, just buy a smartphone/5800 | 23:09 |
| GeneralAntilles | lcuk2, you should be able to authorize the tablet from your phone. | 23:09 |
| GeneralAntilles | lcuk2, why? | 23:09 |
| GeneralAntilles | I already have the tablet | 23:09 |
| Guysoft42 | LinuxCode, do you have an idea? i see nothimg in the gui | 23:09 |
| GeneralAntilles | and the smartphone is still going to be in my pocket. | 23:09 |
| LinuxCode | Guysoft42, Im a tad busy atm | 23:09 |
| GeneralAntilles | Besides, the 5800 is $600 | 23:09 |
| LinuxCode | did you try applet settings ? | 23:10 |
| *** L0cutus has quit IRC | 23:10 | |
| GeneralAntilles | lcuk2, anyway, the tablet interface is always going to be better than the phones interface | 23:11 |
| Guysoft42 | LinuxCode, yes, nothing.. i gtg to learn too, if anyone knows how to change the week PM me :-) | 23:11 |
| GeneralAntilles | It's like comparing the viewfinder on a pocket camera to a DSLR. | 23:11 |
| RST38h | General: Have you actually seen Nokia's phone sample lineup? | 23:12 |
| GeneralAntilles | RST38h, you mean their current selection of phones? | 23:12 |
| Stskeeps | GeneralAntilles: would you btw say that what the tablets are and the OS companion, is open platform, open device? | 23:12 |
| Stskeeps | open as in you can mess it up quite a lot on your own | 23:13 |
| GeneralAntilles | I would, yes. | 23:13 |
| GeneralAntilles | Especially considered in context. | 23:13 |
| Stskeeps | compared to android and iphone which are closed devices | 23:13 |
| GeneralAntilles | I mean, they're less open if you consider them in the desktop context. | 23:13 |
| moontiger | what 5800? | 23:14 |
| GeneralAntilles | But as you're dealing with non-commodity hardware in a mobile context. . . . | 23:14 |
| qwerty12_N800 | moontiger, nokia 5800. s60 touch screen phone | 23:14 |
| moontiger | ahhhhhhhhh i have a n79 ... love it | 23:14 |
| RST38h | General: No, somebody leaked their developer samples list | 23:14 |
| GeneralAntilles | RST38h, oh, right. | 23:14 |
| GeneralAntilles | Yeah, saw that. | 23:14 |
| GeneralAntilles | Don't care. | 23:14 |
| GeneralAntilles | Cellphones aren't my thing. | 23:14 |
| t_s_o | https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2639 <- bah, i feared it... | 23:14 |
| RST38h | General: there are 640x480 and 800x480 models | 23:14 |
| RST38h | General: So, I wouldn't insist on smartphones never reaching tablets in the ui utility | 23:15 |
| qwerty12_N800 | moontiger, is that the one with dvb? | 23:15 |
| moontiger | dvb? | 23:15 |
| milhouse | i have an N85 - i find the email client on it is better than modest (and the email client on the N85 is very, very basic - but works) | 23:15 |
| RST38h | General: [and that is also why I said that I would prefer Maemo to S60 on these devices] | 23:15 |
| GeneralAntilles | RST38h, a smartphone with a 4" screen is not a smartphone I will use. | 23:15 |
| GeneralAntilles | Anyway, those phones are way out of my price range. | 23:16 |
| RST38h | General: Why? It isn't prohibitively large | 23:16 |
| GeneralAntilles | I prefer a simple, small, thin clamshell design. | 23:16 |
| *** gomiam has joined #maemo | 23:16 | |
| RST38h | You would buy a $400 table but wouldn't buy a $400 phone? Hmm | 23:16 |
| RST38h | s/table/tablet/ | 23:16 |
| infobot | RST38h meant: You would buy a $400 tablet but wouldn't buy a $400 phone? Hmm | 23:16 |
| GeneralAntilles | That does 3 things: phonecalls, text and modem | 23:16 |
| GeneralAntilles | RST38h, do you really wonder why? | 23:17 |
| RST38h | RAZR?!? | 23:17 |
| GeneralAntilles | I mean, _really_? | 23:17 |
| GeneralAntilles | That seems really clear to me. | 23:17 |
| GeneralAntilles | http://images.google.com/images?ie=UTF-8&oe=utf8&q=sgh-a717&um=1&sa=N&tab=wi | 23:17 |
| RST38h | Yes because ideology aside, I would rather carry 1 device than 3 | 23:17 |
| GeneralAntilles | Not when that one device gets fucked by cellular carries. | 23:17 |
| GeneralAntilles | You see what fun it causes for Android. | 23:17 |
| GeneralAntilles | The same will happen for Maemo. | 23:18 |
| RST38h | General: Yes, but you can bring your own device even to an american carrier | 23:18 |
| GeneralAntilles | I don't like the idea of carrying around a $600 phone all the time. | 23:18 |
| moontiger | qwerty12_N800, im not sure about dvb but it totally rocks as a smaretfone | 23:18 |
| RST38h | No need to buy subsidized crap | 23:18 |
| GeneralAntilles | There are situations where I don't want my tablet with me | 23:18 |
| GeneralAntilles | and I'd rather have a phone that I can afford to replace. | 23:18 |
| RST38h | ok, this one is valid indeed | 23:18 |
| GeneralAntilles | What is a "fone"? | 23:18 |
| glass_ | how about a sub 200$ smartphone then | 23:18 |
| Stskeeps | GeneralAntilles: maemo would fall apart if it had to be a closed device, imho | 23:18 |
| qwerty12_N800 | moontiger, :) | 23:18 |
| lcuk2 | GeneralAntilles, yeah - you might drop your n800 whilst poledancing | 23:19 |
| Stskeeps | so many things are easier for developers cos of the open device strategy | 23:19 |
| milhouse | hmmmm | 23:19 |
| *** zaltair has quit IRC | 23:19 | |
| moontiger | qwerty12_N800, it geo tags piccies and has an awesome camera | 23:19 |
| *** hellwolf_ has joined #maemo | 23:19 | |
| moontiger | so im updating my website to process gps exif tags on pics :) | 23:19 |
| milhouse | stskeeps: maybe not in nokia-land | 23:19 |
| Stskeeps | we have one example of carrier tablets, don't we? the singtel ones? | 23:20 |
| GeneralAntilles | milhouse, related to the applet bug: http://www.internettablettalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=24926&page=4 | 23:21 |
| milhouse | thanks - seems pertinent, i'll have a read. | 23:23 |
| milhouse | i guess i'm not alone :) | 23:23 |
| GeneralAntilles | milhouse, yeah, it is a bit insane. | 23:23 |
| GeneralAntilles | But the change seems to be that we're actually getting WONTFIX responses | 23:24 |
| GeneralAntilles | rather than getting no response at all | 23:24 |
| GeneralAntilles | Which means that the next step is them paying attention before the window of opportunity for getting bugs fixed closes. | 23:24 |
| milhouse | when the Android "reboot" bug appeared and Google released a patch within a few days I did think how long it would have taken Nokia - 6 months to never? | 23:24 |
| t_s_o | the community would probably have rolled out some laternate initfs by then... | 23:24 |
| milhouse | One outfit does it right, then there's Nokia ... | 23:25 |
| GeneralAntilles | milhouse, the last critical crasher bug was the Modest one | 23:25 |
| GeneralAntilles | Which they releases 30-2 specifically for | 23:25 |
| GeneralAntilles | it took about 1 month. | 23:25 |
| milhouse | What about the bug with Modest which causes it to hang every other day? | 23:25 |
| andre__ | GeneralAntilles: Hey, you understood the definition of "FIXED"! :-P Just kidding, got too many rants today... | 23:25 |
| milhouse | No fix yet, no sign of a fix, may never be fixed - renders Modest _useless_ | 23:25 |
| andre__ | milhouse, bug number? | 23:25 |
| GeneralAntilles | milhouse, I'm fairly certain the fix is in week 40 or so | 23:25 |
| GeneralAntilles | So should be out with the next SSU. | 23:26 |
| milhouse | i'm sure it is, apparently we're waiting on other stuff - absolutely nuts. hang on andre, looking it up for ya... | 23:26 |
| milhouse | 3641 | 23:26 |
| andre__ | see https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3641#c26 | 23:27 |
| milhouse | no good to me | 23:27 |
| andre__ | modest 1.0-2008.38-1, and 38 is the week number | 23:27 |
| milhouse | how do i get that fix? | 23:27 |
| milhouse | do i need to be on a special invite list? ;) | 23:27 |
| andre__ | a) wait b) compile from source | 23:27 |
| andre__ | heh. i don't have that fix either | 23:27 |
| milhouse | i'm a waiter - as are most of nokias customers | 23:27 |
| Stskeeps | oh -thats- what that part is | 23:27 |
| Stskeeps | .. | 23:28 |
| GeneralAntilles | Stskeeps, lol? | 23:28 |
| GeneralAntilles | release.year.week#-build# | 23:28 |
| Stskeeps | yeah, - i don't usually use weeks in my thinking | 23:28 |
| Stskeeps | i think in dates | 23:28 |
| andre__ | company always think in weeks. they make me nervous :-P | 23:28 |
| GeneralAntilles | Neither did I | 23:28 |
| GeneralAntilles | Until Maemo. ;) | 23:28 |
| *** hellwolf has quit IRC | 23:29 | |
| milhouse | what would be nice if I could have some idea when a fix was coming... why are schedules so secret? daft really. | 23:29 |
| milhouse | and by coming i meant when the next ssu was scheduled | 23:29 |
| GeneralAntilles | Fremantle's bringing alpha and beta releases for the SDK | 23:30 |
| GeneralAntilles | and likely beta releases for the OS, too. | 23:30 |
| milhouse | i'll believe it when i see it | 23:30 |
| *** eocanha has quit IRC | 23:30 | |
| milhouse | (sorry, been a passenger on the good ship Nokia for faaaar too long!) | 23:31 |
| andre__ | milhouse, i sometimes think schedules are secret because some engineers fail in 80% of the schedules to keep the given deadlines ;-) | 23:31 |

| GeneralAntilles | milhouse, catch up on the lists like I told you. :P | 23:32 |
| * GeneralAntilles has. | 23:32 | |
| GeneralAntilles | You'll know the early 770 owners by the bile they spew. ;) | 23:32 |
| milhouse | andre: i am a project manager... deadlines slip, but you can still announce them and people will accept a degree of slip | 23:32 |
| *** L0cutus has joined #maemo | 23:32 | |
| andre__ | milhouse, yes, people. but it might be interesting info for competitors | 23:33 |
| milhouse | GAN: I know... busy times right now. just been away on a training course which gave me an oppurtunity to love/hate my n810 in a hotel room :) | 23:33 |
| andre__ | i don't know, i also can just guess | 23:33 |
| milhouse | andre: really? competitors care when nokia will be fixing their product? :) | 23:33 |
| andre__ | the project i maintain(ed) has fixed deadlines. we deliver the product since years on the day promised months ago. howevere the quality often differs ;-) | 23:34 |
| milhouse | andre: we're not talking about new functionality here, just fixing stuff that doesn't work | 23:34 |
| * Stskeeps has a fonera router he takes along to hotels (flashed firmware ofcourse with dd-wrt), so he can hook up or amplifywifi nets :P | 23:34 | |
| Stskeeps | after a horrid experience in hong kong | 23:34 |
| andre__ | milhouse, well, i won't defend nokia here, from my POV it sucks too, so i'll just agree with you :) | 23:35 |
| milhouse | :) | 23:35 |
| andre__ | i just try to understand them sometimes. "try". | 23:35 |
| milhouse | oh btw, if i go into one on bugzilla, ranting and raving, please don't take it personally - i know you're in a shitty position | 23:35 |
| milhouse | but as an end user/paying customer/advocate of what-could-be it does annoy me what goes on... | 23:36 |
| milhouse | or rather, doesn't. :) | 23:36 |
| *** setanta has quit IRC | 23:37 | |
| andre__ | milhouse, who are you in BZ? bugzilla770 at nmacleod? didn't know before :) | 23:37 |
| GeneralAntilles | Nokia's secret plan in hiring andre__ was for him to take the heat so they don't have to. ;) | 23:37 |
| * andre__ tries to manage dozens of nick to names to faces links but often fails | 23:37 | |
| GeneralAntilles | flameshield | 23:37 |
| milhouse | bugzilla770 | 23:37 |
| andre__ | yeehah! :) cool, nice | 23:38 |
| GeneralAntilles | andre__, he was basically bugmaster before you came along. | 23:38 |
| andre__ | yeah, he read and commented on a lot of bugs | 23:38 |
| milhouse | andre: i own my own domain so tend to use email addresses that alert me to anyone that gives my details away to spammers... :) | 23:38 |
| andre__ | and i'm really thankful for that | 23:38 |
| *** melmoth has quit IRC | 23:38 | |
| milhouse | i was highly motivated back then - not so much now :( | 23:39 |
| andre__ | naah, i normally don't take it personally. i've had about four other rants today too. you get used to it after all these years... | 23:39 |
| andre__ | i can totally understand that. i also have a kind of love-hate relation with other projects i work(ed) on/with | 23:39 |
| *** dforsyth has quit IRC | 23:39 | |
| andre__ | GeneralAntilles, i kind of agree | 23:40 |
| milhouse | Mind you i had a Canuck telling me my post was apathetic and resigned drivel - shocked i was, SHOCKED! ;) | 23:40 |
| andre__ | "flameshield" | 23:40 |
| andre__ | heh | 23:40 |
| andre__ | tension can be quite useful | 23:41 |
| milhouse | andre: at least it shows people care... | 23:41 |
| * andre__ remembers the best and most offensive bug reports he read | 23:41 | |
| lcuk2 | especially around your underpants | 23:41 |
| * lcuk2 once had saggy elastic | 23:41 | |
| andre__ | rrrr! more tea vicar! | 23:41 |
| *** danilocesar is now known as _danilocesar | 23:41 | |
| lcuk2 | \o/ yesssssss i brought it to a standstill | 23:42 |
| lcuk2 | sorry, carry on lol | 23:42 |
| andre__ | GeneralAntilles, i think i had it twice that nokians send me an email, asking me to comment on behalf of them. but i don't think they were afraid of rants, more because their comments were not something that should be seen "official" | 23:43 |
| andre__ | on the other hand, it was "only" two times so far | 23:43 |
| *** setanta has joined #maemo | 23:43 | |
| andre__ | moving slowly... | 23:43 |
| GeneralAntilles | lol | 23:43 |
| GeneralAntilles | The corporate mentality has to change before we make any real progress. | 23:43 |
| GeneralAntilles | If the managers and executives aren't behind the idea, there's no way the engineers will ever be. . . . | 23:44 |
| andre__ | well, as i told you - it differs from division to division | 23:44 |
| andre__ | some are used to work more openly, some need more time to understand the advantages | 23:44 |
| lcuk2 | andre__, that same effect occurs with single developers as well | 23:45 |
| * Stskeeps ponders what the next bug to push from m-r to bugs.maemo | 23:45 | |
| lcuk2 | so within a team you can have members who are happy to work from public svn and push every 2 minutes, and others who huddle and commit only when finished. thats been the way forever | 23:46 |
| Stskeeps | GeneralAntilles: worst/best part about m-r is so far, there hasn't been 100% showstoppers | 23:47 |
| andre__ | lcuk2, yeah. but if you don't have "fresh" people in your team that have already worked in open source communities, but instead are only used to the closed way | 23:47 |
| andre__ | lcuk2, as i said: when i had an error management meeting i asked the managers who had worked with OS communities before | 23:48 |
| Stskeeps | there's been difficulties but not something where we had to give up on an avenue | 23:48 |
| andre__ | it was less than 15%. most people came from the s60 series | 23:48 |
| lcuk2 | yes, coming to maemo "green" from deep within nokia would be a culture shock i agree | 23:48 |
| andre__ | exactly | 23:48 |
| milhouse | andre: I bet they were glad to get rid of them | 23:48 |
| milhouse | andre: Now the S60/Symbian guys are probably hiring open source developers like mad... :) | 23:49 |
| andre__ | it was interesting to see how novell managed the "imported" open source culture this after they bought suse and ximian | 23:49 |
| *** datachaos has joined #maemo | 23:49 | |
| milhouse | It will be interesting to see what, if anything, Nokia has learned from Maemo when it rolls out Symbian to the open source communities, and what Trolltech can bring to the party | 23:50 |
| milhouse | I don't hold out high hopes, unfortunately (God I'm getting too cynical in my old age... :( ) | 23:51 |
| lcuk2 | andre__, i work in a closed source shock, my current boss and colleagues is appalled at the idea that I have created and given away my code | 23:51 |
| lcuk2 | are ^ | 23:51 |
| milhouse | shock? is it permanent? | 23:52 |
| andre__ | milhouse, as long as trolltech is a totally seperate entity it won't change culture. if you really have to integrate them, well... | 23:52 |
| lcuk2 | lol | 23:52 |
| lcuk2 | for them yeah ;) | 23:52 |
| milhouse | andre: hopefully that can bring some knowledge/advice... | 23:52 |
| milhouse | infiltrate the rest of Nokia | 23:53 |
| milhouse | ideas, best practice etc. | 23:53 |
| GeneralAntilles | I was somewhat encouraged by Quim's comment on itT that the Maemo Community has made some waves in Nokia. | 23:53 |
| lcuk2 | we need to make more than waves :) | 23:53 |
| milhouse | tsunamis | 23:54 |
| GeneralAntilles | Actually, andre__, that's an interesting question | 23:54 |
| GeneralAntilles | if the non-locking applets bothers so many people so intensely, why don't they just patch it? | 23:54 |
| lcuk2 | so far i fear the size of waves are measured on a fart in the bathtub scale | 23:54 |
| *** data|2 has joined #maemo | 23:54 | |
| lcuk2 | (very fragrant waves i might add) | 23:55 |
| andre__ | GeneralAntilles, yupp - JFDI (if you have access to the code, patch it and share the patch, and let's try to get it officially included) | 23:55 |
| milhouse | GAN: If someone supplies a patch, would Nokia be willing to push it out in an SSU? It seems a bit "not invented here" to not accept the patch | 23:55 |
| GeneralAntilles | milhouse, it depends on the product team. | 23:55 |
| andre__ | GeneralAntilles, I think especially Maemo Summit has made some waves in Nokia | 23:56 |
| GeneralAntilles | I dunno for desktop. | 23:56 |
| GeneralAntilles | Definitely 100% for h-a-m | 23:56 |
| lcuk2 | +1 for the summit andre :) | 23:56 |
| andre__ | as i said, desktop is already in a "only major and critical issues" state | 23:56 |
| andre__ | i managed to get one non-critical fix in in the last weeks :-/ | 23:56 |
| GeneralAntilles | Which is really frustrating | 23:56 |
| GeneralAntilles | Especially when there's trivial stuff with patches included. | 23:56 |
| andre__ | well, desktop is the first thing they started with for Fremantle | 23:57 |
| andre__ | (i think) | 23:57 |
| milhouse | Quite right too... | 23:57 |
| andre__ | well - probably some architecture plans before that, but at least that was my impression, | 23:57 |
| andre__ | or maybe the other teams just didn't tell me explicitly that they have in fact moved on too... | 23:57 |
| GeneralAntilles | If desktop doesn't have enough people to process trivial bugs, then clearly Nokia needs to start hiring. | 23:57 |
| milhouse | don't be so sure about that... ;) | 23:57 |
| * Stskeeps ponders why on earth libgpsbt went from being open source to closed source | 23:58 | |
| qwerty12_N800 | Stskeeps, nokia came to their senses of course! | 23:58 |
| GeneralAntilles | It'd be less bothersome if Fremantle were being released for OMAP2 hardware | 23:58 |
| GeneralAntilles | or if the bugs hadn't stagnated for freaking ever | 23:59 |
| milhouse | it is, isn't it? | 23:59 |
| andre__ | nobody knows, not even i. i think nokia also doesn't know | 23:59 |
| milhouse | i thought we were promised 2 more releases on N8x0? | 23:59 |
| *** k`sOSe has quit IRC | 23:59 | |
| GeneralAntilles | milhouse, don't get me started on the excuses that are going to pop up for that. | 23:59 |
| milhouse | up to elephanta (or somethingh until it was renamed) | 23:59 |
| andre__ | milhouse, i think so | 23:59 |
| GeneralAntilles | During the Summit, the excuse was that Diablo was the second release. | 23:59 |
| GeneralAntilles | Which is such a bogus excuse I'd've stabbed that Nokian in the eye if I were there. | 23:59 |
