qwerty12_N810VDVsx: Have you had any requests to make BlueMaemo support portrait mode? :p00:03
VDVsxqwerty12_N810, not yet00:04
GeneralAntillesBlueMaemo doesn't support portrait?00:04
GeneralAntillesDeal breaker!00:04
VDVsxqwerty12_N810, but some profiles will have portrait at least00:04
microlithonoes00:04
VDVsx:P00:04
VDVsxGeneralAntilles, BlueMaemo will be the next think tank :P00:05
RST38hBlueMaemo also does not send MMSes00:05
RST38hNot gonna succeed without MMSes, no...00:05
qwerty12_N810RST38h: WTF00:05
RST38hwhat? 8)00:06
GeneralAntillesNOK1A SUX00:06
qwerty12_N810VDVsx: I want a refund, now!00:06
microlithwhat do you mean I can't send low rez images at an inflated price?!00:06
Milo-how am I supposed to run /opt/scratchbox/tools/bin/sb-conf ?00:06
VDVsxqwerty12_N810, sorry you are not eligible for a refund :P00:07
Milo-as root it says it can't be ran as root00:07
*** Flyser has joined #maemo00:07
GeneralAntillesqwerty12_N810, in fact, if you want to send it back you gotta pay. :P00:07
Milo-and as regular user, it says no permissions, even though it's chmodded properly :D00:07
qwerty12_N810VDVsx: Gah, you Ageist :p00:07
hexafor a new app should I use gtk/hildon or QT ?  dev guide seems to point to hildon/gtk.. but i'm confused with qt being maybe the future on maemo ?00:08
VDVsxhexa, do you know both ?00:09
hexaVDVsx, got more exp with glib but never really touched gtk.. so I guess neither..00:09
hexaVDVsx, but I don't want to recode my gui in a year...00:10
*** penguinbait has quit IRC00:10
VDVsxhexa, IMHO Qt isn't ready yet for maemo5, there's some limitations, so you've to choose :D00:10
hexaVDVsx, humm any doc on those limitations somewhere?00:12
Milo-seriously? how is this supposed to be run as regular user?00:12
Milo-Traceback (most recent call last):00:12

Milo-OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied00:12
VDVsxhexa, probably, 1 sec00:12
Milo-it makes a system call to chroot, which can only be accessed as root00:13

Milo-yes, creates a chrooted environment00:13
lbtintercepting system calls etc00:13

VDVsxhexa, some here: http://wiki.maemo.org/Qt4_Hildon/Qt_Hildon_Widgets00:14
lbtit's a very complex system.... not 'just an application'00:14
hexaVDVsx, great thx :) I'll take a look00:15
*** tiflsc has quit IRC00:15
lbtyou need to install it as the devs intended...00:15
VDVsxhexa, there's probably more and some of the stuff there is already outdated since last maemo-Qt release00:15
hexaVDVsx, yeah it's ok I'll search some more myself.. just wanted to get the feeling of the devs here...00:15
VDVsxhexa, but if you have doubts, the people at #qt-maemo can help for sure00:15
hexaVDVsx, thx :)00:15
hexaVDVsx, ho good to know :)00:16
lbthexa: for me.... Qt00:16
lbtbut it isn't quite ready00:16
lbtOTOH if you're learning... it'll be ready by the time your first app is ready for extras00:16
hexalbt, :) that's kinda was I was wondering :) so we're taling like 6 months not 2 years...00:17
Macerdamn. charlzie theron looks horrible in monster00:17

Macerthose crazy make up artists can do anything00:17
*** uhsf has joined #maemo00:18
hexalbt, k :) even better ,, I don't think I'll make it in less then 4..00:18
lbtmy guess is <3 months before Qt apps will be accepted into extras00:18
Maceris like00:18
Macerthe n900 out yet? :)00:18
*** homeasvs_ has quit IRC00:19
hexalbt, nice :) I'll really consider it then00:19
lbthexa: I'm not even sure that you *can't* put Qt in extras today. Core Qt is on the shipping image00:19
* lbt must push Shopper00:19
Mekwith a beta qt4.6 in extras-devel promoting stuff without also promiting that qt4.6 beta would be hard though... :)00:19
hexalbt, but regardless of the distribution... the point is will I be able to do something comparable to hildon /gtk.. in like 3-6 months with qt..00:20
lbtMek: yes, I'm not up to date... :)00:20
lbthexa: you can do that already00:20
*** TomaszD has joined #maemo00:20
lbtor do you mean personal learning curve00:20
hexalbt, nah I meant  qt status... nice :)00:21
lbtQt status is pretty much 1st class already00:21
hexaguess I'll go qt then :)00:21
TomaszDlbt looks like we'll meet again00:21
ali1234how does the n900 backup tool work for "application list?" does it just save the list, and then install them again using apt?00:21
lbt:)00:21
*** Flyser_ has quit IRC00:21
lbtali1234: think so...00:22
lbtTomaszD: I'm not accepted yet00:22
ali1234is it gonna break when my custom repo is not available?00:22
hexalbt, is there still something like a liscence to pay to do qt apps or something or is it all free now btw ? .. /me a bit out of date on it..00:22

javispedros/vdso/randomized vdso01:52
wiretappedno my maemo.org username is just my first name and that was already taken, so my forum nokia name is my email address (same email used for maemo.org)01:52
Milo-searched kernel and it says VDSO=n01:52
GeneralAntilleswiretapped, and when you emailed the DDP address you indicated such?01:52
*** cvandonderen has joined #maemo01:53
wiretappedyeah01:53
Milo-I assume it's "Compat VDSO support"01:53
GeneralAntillesHrm, odd.01:53
ds3GA: if the 3G modem is unlock....01:53
Milo-and that I have disabled01:53
GeneralAntillesWell, I'd suggest emailing them again.01:53
Milo-oh01:53
GeneralAntillesds3, unlocked as in the carrier subsidy definition or not-a-blackbox definition?01:54
Milo-glibc adds randomized VDSO01:54
Milo-did not know that01:54
ds3what is annoying is almost every ~4" screen device with a fast ARM has at least one fatal flaw :(01:54
javispedroMilo-: Compat VDSO support is exactly what you need to _enable_01:54
ds3GA: subsidy lock01:54
GeneralAntillesds3, they don't sell it subsidized through any carrier in the US as of yet.01:54
GeneralAntillesSo, yes, it's unlocked.01:54
Milo-javispedro oh, I thought I needed to _disable_ it :o01:54
ds3Oh01:54
RXrenesis8€250, that's only $370... wow01:54
GeneralAntilles(At that $479.99 price, by the way)01:54
ds3the sales guy at the TMO store hints they may pickup the N90001:55
Milo-javispedro I need to enable it so I can disable it? :)01:55
javispedroMilo-: disable randomized vdso (which is what compat vdso does)01:55
Milo-ah01:55
GeneralAntillesds3, so the rumors say, but I'm guessing that'll be next year some point.01:55
GeneralAntillesds3, for now they're all free and clear. ;)01:55
javispedroMilo-: did you build sbox?01:55
Milo-yes01:55
Milo-login fails01:55
GeneralAntillesRXrenesis8, you can get cool discounts, too, when you become a cool cat. :P http://maemo.org/profile/list/01:55
ds3GA: problem is, my N800 is on its last legs and I need a hand held device01:55
ds3so if I get one, it will not be torn apart01:55

ds3GA: the other thing is the TMO guys won't tell me a straight story on if my current dataplan SIM will work01:56
GeneralAntillesds3, well, as an N800 owner from day 1, I can nothing but recommend the N900.01:56
GeneralAntilles(been using it since September on AT&T)01:56
GeneralAntillesds3, Web'n'Walk?01:56
ds3GA: does it have the 2 SD slots i.e. is it crippled like the N810?01:56
GeneralAntilles1 microSD slot01:56
GeneralAntillesBut it has 32GB built-in01:56
pupnik_anybody see what cpu load pulse audio typically takes for speaker playback - always 17-18%?01:57
GeneralAntillesSo not as bad as it seems.01:57
ds3oh 32G...how much of that 32G is usable?01:57
GeneralAntilles2GB is used for application installation space, 768MB for swap and the rest is free.01:57
ds3is it like the 2G inside the 810? where 80%+ is used from day one01:57
Milo-javispedro is that a patch to glibc or the scratchbox-toolchain-*-glibc?01:57
pupnik_i just figured one could implement a 0.5ms delay to get a 1000hz notch filter01:57
GeneralAntillesWell, um, there'll be some number of cached Ovi Maps maps in there, too.01:57
GeneralAntillesBut those can be removed.01:57
pupnik_or maybe an inverted qms delay01:57
pupnik_1ms01:57
javispedroMilo-: scratchbox-core/libs.01:57
javispedronot any of the toolchains.01:58
javispedrobasically search for rtld.c somewhere in the sbox "core" tarball and patch that01:58
ds3if I can get 16G free, I can tolerate it01:58
pupnik_start filming video and watch it fill up01:59
*** digitalstimulus_ has quit IRC01:59
pupnik_the video isnt as wavy as with cheap phones, quite nice01:59
GeneralAntillesds3, I think the maps will be in the 500MB-1.5GB range.02:00
GeneralAntillesds3, it depends on region, though. That'd be my bet for US.02:00
ds3fill up? surely, it has a real time compression through the DSP, right? :D02:00
*** fluff|afk is now known as fluff02:01
ds3GA: I was very disappointed at their demo maps; this is to the point where I much rather use maemo-mapper anyday02:01
GeneralAntillesMaemo Mapper's being ported to Clutter02:01
GeneralAntillesSo it should be much friendlier on the N900.02:01
ds3is the GSM module data only or did they bring out the mic and speaker so it can be used as a speaker phone?02:02
GeneralAntillesOvi Maps on the N900 sucks.02:02
GeneralAntillesIt's a cellphone.02:02

genewitchi mean for me personally.10:40

bigbrovargenewitch: am tempted to go with amazon too for that price, my current pre-order is with Newegg, but the $80+ extra bucks can be used for a 16gb card + bluetooth headset10:40

genewitchyeah10:43
pekujaah I see10:43
pekujaso T-Mobile is the only carrier you could even use it on?10:43
genewitchat&t10:43
genewitchat 2G speeds10:43
genewitchT-Mobile for 3G10:43

pekujaso there are no SIM-locked N900's available in the US10:45

pekujapeople are more willing to pay full price10:50
genewitchwell in the US it's more like people with good credit can get away with cheap phones and contracts10:51
pekujaand most of the contract deals aren't such where you are forced to pay for an expensive contract you don't need10:51
genewitchyeah10:51
genewitchthe n900 is gunna cost me $70 a month to use10:51
genewitchi shouldn't ever go over my minutes cause i have voip lines coming out of every orifice10:52
pekujaeven the iPhone you can get for around 20 euros a month with a two year contract10:52
*** trickie has quit IRC10:52
genewitchthat's dirt cheap10:52
pekujayeah10:53
genewitchthat's also $70 here10:53
pekujayou basically just pay for the phone, and the contract is cheap10:53
genewitchwait, though that might be the same10:53
pekuja20 euros is around $3010:53
genewitchnah it'd be 47 euros10:53
*** BluesLee has joined #maemo10:54
genewitchdo the iphones get 3g speed and unlimited data usage?10:54
pekujano, but you can upgrade your contract to get that10:54
genewitchcause that's the perk for iphones in the USA. they're one of the few phones that both get unlimited bandwidth and can use more than the carriers cap you at10:54
genewitchthe other one is android, but that's $10 more a month10:54
pekujayou can get an unlimited data plan at 384kbps for about 10 euros a month10:55
genewitchthat's really slow though10:55
genewitchiphones here get 800-1200kbits10:55
pekujafor 1M it's 20 euros a month10:55
aquatixmorning all10:55
genewitchthat's cool10:55
genewitchpekuja: how much does a locked n900 cost where you are?10:56
pekujaI don't think they sell locked ones here10:56
genewitchwell whatever, the standard n90010:56
genewitchhow much does it cost10:56
pekujaI think even the ones from carriers are unlocked10:56
pekujait's about 600 euros10:56
genewitchouuuch10:56
genewitchthat's double what i am going to pay10:57
pekujayeah, that's close to $90010:57
aquatixhm, here in the Netherlands it's listed in online stores starting at 53010:57

aquatixtrue10:57
aquatixbut damn, it's some package :)10:57

aquatixdepending on what you want10:58
*** lolf has joined #maemo10:58
genewitchpekuja: $520 with $50 mail in rebate10:58

genewitchyeah thereabouts10:59
pekujagenewitch: do you have to pay taxes on top of that or is it tax-free?10:59
genewitchwell it depends. technically you have to pay taxes but amazon won't charge them.10:59
pekujaan important thing to notice when comparing European and US prices is that European prices usually include taxes10:59
pekujathe Amazon deal is still really good though11:00

SpeedEvilpulseaudio is insanity.17:22
SpeedEvilAt least resamplingwise.17:22
felipecpupnik: which are crappy and will fry if you use then 100% all the time17:22
pupnikso allow high perf apps to play at low volume17:23
pupnikwithout bottleneck17:23
SpeedEvilA patch that adjusts the DAC frequency if there is no sound playing would be good.17:23
pupniktwo modes17:23
pupnikno17:23
SpeedEvilSo if there isn't sound playing, and a sound source starts at 48KHz - it clocks the DAC to 48KHz17:24
javispedrono, I can easily make the emu render at 48kHz and seems that doesn't cause cpu usage to drop17:24
felipecpupnik: you can do that by issuing the ALSA ioctls I guess17:24
pupnikone mode where app generates 48khz and disablesm resampling and eq17:24
SpeedEvilSample format conversion? though that should not sanely do that.17:24
felipecpupnik: if you send 48khz there's no resampling17:25
javispedroit's more easy for the emu to do conversion -- think it knows about the spc700 it is emulating.17:25
felipecand you can manually disable the equalizer I think17:25
javispedroand not everything is sampled sound at that level.17:25
pupnikfelipec: that would be the app level solution!17:26
javispedroif you can manually disable eq, wouldn't speakers fry as said?17:26
SpeedEvilGenerally not, you'll worst-case get distortion.17:27

javispedrobut MIPS19:18
RST38hAnything with MIPS will suck by definition19:18
lardmansmall screen too19:18
RST38h(I can explain why, but it is somewhat involved)19:18
lardmango on :)19:18
RST38hWell, MIPS instruction set has been made by academics, so even although it is RISC, it is incredibly inefficient19:19
RST38hFor example, VGBA binary size hits 1MB on MIPS19:19
lardmanthey made the inefficient microcode?19:19
RST38hAlso, the stack frames are huge19:20
lardmanor poor design/instruction choice?19:20
RST38hNo, they designed inefficient instruction set19:20
lardmanah ok19:20
RST38hThat does not well express what people want to do19:20
RST38hIt is a freaking university project, not a production design19:20
lardman:)19:21
RST38hSo, on expensive workstations, these problems are offset by huge caches and fast memory19:21
RST38hBut once you cut down the caches and use normal consumer grade 133MHz SDRAM (or mDDR), the performance goes straight to hell19:22
lardmanso why was it adopted then?19:22
RST38hThe design is free, it is cheap to produce, so lots of Chinese make and use it19:22
RST38hAnd for low performance uses, it works well enough. I have one of those Chinese systems on my desk19:23

RST38hICNexus, MIPS chip, runs Linux, starts X11/XFCE on its little 640x460 screen19:23
RST38hRuns fine, has even gone Xine compiled for it, but waaaaay slow19:23
RST38hs/gone/got19:23
RST38hWhen comparing it to ARM instruction set, you can clearly see that the designers were fixing shortcomings of the MIPS design, and largely succeeded19:24
javispedrofrom what I read it doesn't run linux but a custom kernel, I though otherwise.19:24
javispedrowhich may explain why it reached high performance with such low specs19:25

RST38h"Has Sci-Fi Run Out of Steam?" (C)Slashdot21:51
Flandryhmm21:51
RST38h(no, idiots, you are just growing out of your favorite sysadmin scifi genres)21:51
`0660_:)21:52
Flandryha21:52
Flandrywell i think the problem is that the achievable has been narrowed leaving only the unachievable21:53
Flandrylook at Poul Anderson's later work21:53
RST38hYou are missing the point ;)21:53
Flandryit was all more or less hard science fiction, and always came to the conclusion that human space travel is a doomed endeavor21:54
Flandryso the ability of sci fi to motivate and inspire has been reduced by our achievement of the majority of the inspiring bits21:54
*** choppa has quit IRC21:54
RST38hLike any other literature, good scifi is about people, not about technology or science21:54
Flandrythat's neither here nor there by the criterion of the article21:55
RST38hSo, if you concetrate solely on technology (and all these slashdotters appear to be cyberpunk fans) then you sooner or later run out of steam21:55
FlandryBoat of a Million Years is a great example of this21:56
RST38hHaven't read it, but there are multiple good examples21:56
*** lcukn900 has quit IRC21:56
RST38hThey are just more complex than another cyberpunk book about the "cyberspace"21:56
Flandryit doesn't concentrate on technology, but on the effect that advancement has on humankind21:57

lardmanI need an nVidia 260 or higher for work, so should make the graphics even better :)22:00
crashanddielardman, so basically, in AC2, there's one city that you can invest in, so that for example, you upgrade the bank, a few stores and build a brothel, and suddenly the whole city changes, everything looks a lot nicer22:00
Flandryheheh the brothel really spruces things up eh?22:01
crashanddielardman, after that, it brings you a steady income, and now that I've upgraded everything in the city, it basically pays for all my skills upgrades22:01
lardmanoh right, you can invest money?22:01
lardmanwhat about game play though?22:01
lardmanI didn't much like the fighting in the last one, plus the endless repetition of the missions was boring22:01
* Chani worries22:01
crashanddiebecause when you steal from people, it makes you "known" from the guards, and there's posters of you and stuff22:01
crashanddielardman, well, fighting is pretty much the same, even though there's a lot of variation in the actions you can do22:02
Chaniso I woke up this morning because my n900 made a funny noise. it's plugged into my laptop but still had the orange charging light. it wasn't responding.22:02

javispedrophilosopher: why do you want to run firefox in scratchbox? or do you mean the "Maemo Browser"?23:03
philosopherjavispedro:  yea maemo browser i meant23:03
GeneralAntillesNewegg claimed Mozilla developed the Maemo 5 browser.23:04
JaffaGeneralAntilles: You sound like RST38h23:04
javispedrocrashanddie: I know, but this shows Google cares about people using native C.23:04
lcuktimeless, how best to advertise.  we know of it and use it on random intervals as developers, and when someone is asking code related questions we can guide them there23:04
Jaffacrashanddie: Does it have direct access to any useful libraries, or do you have to go back up to Java and down again?23:04
* timeless_mbp shrugs23:04
javispedroelse why they would ship an slow as molasses emulator when a quick x86 dalvik would've done a much better job?23:05
timeless_mbpGeneralAntilles: wah23:05
crashanddieJaffa, nha, you actually get some useful libraries23:05
philosopherGeneralAntilles:  why not java ?23:05
Jaffacrashanddie: ah, cool.23:05
javispedroJaffa: at least you can output to fb0 without going back to Java. Sound's another story.23:05
GeneralAntillesJaffa, as official platform language, though?23:05
GeneralAntillesJaffa, support is fine, but turning the platform into Android is not a direction I want to see things go in.23:06
crashanddieJaffa, I've seen DMA, file access, and some low-level devices interaction, so I'm guessing it really depends on how well you manage to convince them to give you access really23:06
JaffaGeneralAntilles: Official; don't mind. And I can see why Nokia wants to focus on Qt (with C++) as the official (with WRT) language.23:06
JaffaGeneralAntilles: And it won't anytime soon.23:06
JaffaSomething of the same quality of PyMaemo but in Java would be nice, though.23:07
GeneralAntillesJaffa, clearly, but what I was responding to is important context here. :P23:07
lcukwrt runs javascript doesnt it *grin*23:07
crashanddieJaffa, are you going to work with C++ and Qt to have fun after coming back from work?23:07
JaffaGeneralAntilles: There's a lot of scrollback to read ;-)23:07
Jaffacrashanddie: I think I might be focussing on the Python/Qt route a bit more ;-)23:07
crashanddieguys, should I go for pizza, quarter pounder or anything else (not inspired on food)23:07
