IRC log of #maemo for Friday, 2010-10-15

Venemofcrochik: on IRC, for one00:00
alteregoYeah, if you want votes you need to ask people to do it, on tmo or here, blog about it, ask mates :)00:00
pupnikpretty frustrating to spend your time on this rather than coding eh fcrochik00:00
*** nicu has quit IRC00:00
fcrochikVenemo: is is always an option but I still thing that the process can be improved... I don't want to have to bug people all the time.... I still think the best idea would be to integrate appdownloaded+fap!!! :)00:01
Venemofcrochik: well I don't use fap... :)00:01
*** geaaru has joined #maemo00:02
fcrochikVenemo: I don't necessary mean FAP... just having an application manager that includes rating, reminders (and wouldn't hurt to be a little quicker).... I think the FAP interface could use some TLC but it works pretty good... what don't you like about it?00:03
Venemofcrochik: about fap?00:03
fcrochikVenemo: yes00:03
pupnikfcrochik: you're right that the voting should be doable from an app00:03
Venemofcrochik: I dunno, probably the attitude of the author00:03
*** kuuntelija_ has joined #maemo00:03
fcrochikI don't know who the author is....00:04
Venemofcrochik: I don't recall it either, but I talked to him on TMO00:04
Venemofcrochik: I asked him if he would contribute to HAM the way he made fap faster00:05
fcrochikVenemo: I don't blame you...from time to time I also want to just give up on the whole thing... You spend your time and then have to hear some very silly things00:05
fcrochikVenemo: I remember reading this post (didn't remember was yours).00:06
*** kuuntelija has quit IRC00:06
Jaffafcrochik: appdownloader has exactly those features.00:06
Venemofcrochik: well, I don't blame him, HAM's code is a big mess. But it would be the right thing to do to fix that one app with community effort instead of every guy and his dog making his own app manager00:06
* Jaffa needs to find the fapman author (or source) and see if it prefers -devel over other repos with the same binary00:07
*** lardman|home has joined #maemo00:08
fcrochikJaffa: oh yeah! I love it (appdownloader)... a few minor tweaks, being able to install software and being able to access extras-testing, an automatic reminder like "you installed XXX one week ago would you like to rate it" and we would have a winner for me00:08
nidOtried kisstester?00:09
fcrochikVenemo: I know what you mean but I need to give him some credit because I would not know where to start with the hildon app manager... Qt was my way to get into linux00:09
Venemofcrochik: for me too :)00:09
Venemofcrochik: that's why I said I don't really blame him00:10
fcrochiknidO: Yes. And I think is great idea... but again it is one more tool! I, and assume everybody else, would prefer to have one single tool to deal with packages.... I hate that my packages get stuck so from time to time I try to vote for the applications I know that are seating there... but just the fact that I need to remember to go ther does not help....00:11
*** lardman_ has quit IRC00:11
Venemofcrochik: btw, I never got the chance to congratulate you for the app dev competition :)00:12
dRbiGand i still kinda don't like Qt00:12
*** dvoid_ has quit IRC00:12
nidOfcrochik - I think half the problem with mycontacts is probably that it's in non-free, I imagine a lot of people testing only tend to look at free as traditionally there've hardly been any packages go through wityh no source00:12
*** fnordianslip has joined #maemo00:12
*** fnordianslip has quit IRC00:13
fcrochikVenemo: congratulations to you too! Of course we never had a chance for the first place :(00:13
Venemofcrochik: yeah00:13
Venemofcrochik: QBW is a win... sorta swiss army knife00:13
*** NGNUton-BC has quit IRC00:13
Venemofcrochik: why I uninstalled MyContacts is because it is incompatible with ringtoned (not sure whether you fixed that yet)00:13

fcrochiknidO: Of course I would not mind one day finding a way to pay my bills writing maemo software!00:16
nidOwell its not a debate so much on the rights and wrongs of free v non-free, its purely that the QA list can be viewed either as everything, free, or nonfree, and I imagine most people just tend to look at the free list only00:16
*** setanta has quit IRC00:16
Jaffafcrochik: Well, some people would argue that if you can't spare the time to help the community to provide source (because one day you *will* be gone), why should they spend their time helping test your app?00:16
Venemofcrochik: back to the previous subject, I did download and look at HAM's code, and it is indeed utter crap00:17
Venemofcrochik: I think there's place for some optimalizations though00:17
fcrochikJaffa: I would hope that by now people realize that I am willing to help the community... and even more that mycontacts free or non-free helps the community every day00:17
lcukfcrochik, whats your app again?00:18
*** smooph1 has quit IRC00:18
Venemolcuk, his app is MyContacts00:18
*** smooph has joined #maemo00:19
*** guardian has joined #maemo00:19
Venemohm00:19
fcrochikVenemo: I have to wonder if is worth fixing it just because was the original one... I have to say that I would much rather invest time on a Qt based application ... if not because is what I can understand because unfortunately is the future00:19
fcrochiklcuk: mycontacts, wake on lan, macuco2, geeps... and I packaged libircclient-qt and communi this week00:20
Venemofcrochik: on MeeGo perhaps. but MeeGo already has its own Qt-based (even more: MeeGo Touch based) app manager (I guess)00:20
Venemohm00:21
Venemowhat may be the cause of my N900's random reboots?00:21
wmaronewhat does /proc/bootreason say?00:22
* wmarone rages at fedora00:22

* SpeedEvil rages against the dying of the light.00:22
Venemowmarone: sw_rst00:22
* SpeedEvil plugs the light back in.00:22
fcrochikVenemo: I don't know that I believe that we will ever update our n900 to meego but if there is a way to benefit from meego is to backport qt applications to maemo...00:23
*** lardman|home has quit IRC00:23
*** mlfoster has quit IRC00:24
* cehteh isnt even sure if he wants to upgrade to 1.3 00:24
Venemofcrochik: well, this also brings up the question of deb vs rpm00:24
cehtehonly a much improved modest would make me happy00:24
nidOimproved = replaced*00:25
Venemocehteh: did you check MohammadAG's community SSU repo?00:25
cehtehwhatever, lets make it short: a working email client00:25
cehtehVenemo: i saied *much* :)00:25
Venemocehteh: it has a newer modest, works quite nicely for me00:25
cehtehimap idle? .. subscriptions, threaded mails, notify only on selected folders?00:26
*** jrocha has quit IRC00:26
fcrochikVenemo: yes... I didn't say it would be easy :) but if we have the source code for a qt application we can create the package... Now that I was able to get the first applicatrion that I didn't create package I have more hope that is not that difficult :(00:26
nidOthe fact that nokia intentionally disabled imap idle without simply making it a configurable option utterly baffles me00:26
Venemocehteh: I don't think so... but it has a bunch of bug fixes00:26
cehtehwell bug fixes comes next to usability :)00:27
cehtehcurrently its mostly unuseable to me, i dont even see bugs00:27
Venemofcrochik:  :)00:28
Venemohm00:28
VenemoI dropped the N900 today (accidentally)... on concrete00:28
Venemomight that be related to the random rebooting thing?00:29
cehtehnidO: the underlying lib has some problems with power-saving and imap idle00:29
*** smooph1 has joined #maemo00:29
Venemoit hasn't really done such a thing before, so I'm afraid00:29
*** smooph has quit IRC00:29
cehtehVenemo: there are no much moving parts, but the pcb might have a crack or some soldering came loose00:29
cehtehthat would be really bad00:29
nidOcehteh: "it drains battery" isnt really a reason to prevent it from being selectable atall imo. there are countless ways of draining the device's battery faster than you can blink, I dont see why nokia chose to cripple the mail client in yet another way just to prevent one of them00:30
*** ZogG has quit IRC00:30
*** ZogG has joined #maemo00:30
Venemocehteh: or it might be some other issue... a reflash is overdue anyways00:30
Venemocehteh: I certainly hope for the latter00:31
ieatlintoh no, yahoo.com is down00:31
cehtehnidO: well yes, but implement it in a good way would be the solution00:31
fcrochikfunny: out of the blue just saw a message "the email client closed unexpectedly" (or something to the same effect)... I was not even using the phone00:31
Venemofcrochik: anyways, HAM could be made actually usable with a few clever modifications00:31
nidOofc, thats ideal, and disabling it entirely is the worst solution really, with having it an option, despite being a power drain, being the obvious middle ground (to me at least)00:32
SpeedEvilNokia UI people hate options.00:32
fcrochikVenemo: but what about the features missing? I would assume we would not be able to combine it with appdownloader to get the comments, votes, thumbnails, ...00:32
nidOid rather be moaning that I have a functioning mail client but that means I have to recharge more often, than having a mail client I simply cant use for mail.00:32
cehtehwell next comes that it notifies for each and every junk mail, my mail filter works fine sorting mails in about a dozen folders and i only want to be notifed when mail arrives on some few important folders00:33
cehtehmodest is really made for people getting less than 5 mails per day00:33
cehteh(and no spam)00:33
Venemofcrochik: what is appdownloader written in?00:34
*** ToJa92 has quit IRC00:35
fcrochikVenemo: Qt....that is why FAP+appdownloader makes sense...00:35
fcrochikVenemo: at least I think it is... :)00:35
Venemofcrochik: haha!00:35
Venemofcrochik: it isn't that hard :)00:35
fcrochikVenemo: what?00:36
Venemofcrochik: did you know that Stiky Notes also calls GTK code?00:36
fcrochikVenemo: never had the pleasure to look under the hood :)00:36
Venemofcrochik: of yourse it is not possible to embed Qt and GTK widgets into each other00:36
Venemofcrochik: even if it is, I never bothered00:37
fcrochikVenemo: I have some "foreign" objects on my code too but I can't say I like them....00:37
Venemofcrochik: but in fact, Qt and GTK windows can be made transient to each other00:37
Venemofcrochik: in the end, both libs wrap Xlib, so no surprises there00:37
fcrochikVenemo: just the idea gives me the chills :)00:37
Venemofcrochik: for example, the color and font selector dialogs, and also the about box of Sticky Notes are from Hildon-Extras00:38
fcrochikVenemo: I have to say that I am too spoiled with c++ code.... just the very very GTK function names scares me :)00:38
*** millenomi has joined #maemo00:38
Venemofcrochik: yeah, I know what you mean :) :D00:38
fcrochikVenemo: that is why they work! I use the qt color dialog and it is just wrong!00:38
*** edisson has quit IRC00:39
Venemofcrochik: I wrote a Qt wrapper for Hildon-Extras for exactly this purpose00:39
lcukthere is more than one qt color dialog, be careful which you are mentioning (I think anyway..)00:39
fcrochikOn this note: are we (maemo community) be able to update the qt packages by ourselves?00:39
Venemofcrochik: you need to call a single method that returns a QColor... you can integrate it in less than 5 minutes00:40
Venemofcrochik: [fremantle]: sticky-notes 0.3.0 OK‏ -> thanks for your help again :)00:40
*** SpeedEvil1 has joined #maemo00:40
lcukfcrochik, technically if the ssu gets going, down the line after pr1.3 then its possible00:40
fcrochiklcuk: I think I am using the default one... at any rate is a known bug that was fixed... the problem is that we don't get new Qt libraries until PR1.3.... if ever....that is why I asked if we as a community can just generate new qt packages from the repository and replace the "old" ones... I dont think we can...can we?00:41
lcukand afaik some of the qt packages may have specific meta packages to allow out of band updating anyway00:41
fcrochiklcuk: but qt packages are on the nokia repositories...arent they?00:42
*** SpeedEvil has quit IRC00:42
fcrochikVenemo: glad to hear!00:42

Venemofcrochik: see this doc: http://hildon-extras.garage.maemo.org/reference/current/hildon-extras-qt-he-wrapper.html#QtHeWrapper-showHeSimpleColorDialog00:42
lcukfcrochik, look at how MohammadAG51 has been starting things like replacing hildon and modest builds, same principle applies00:42
fcrochikVenemo: cool!00:42
*** SpeedEvil1 is now known as SpeedEvil00:43
lcukfcrochik, since you can replace the kernel, I am guessing it should be possible to replace anything else too ;)00:43
DocScrutinizererrr, I notice a statistically significant increase in mentioning of PR1.3 during last few days - what's the reason for this?00:43
fcrochiklcuk: yes... the truth is that we probably can just create parallel packages that replace the "official" ones... It is just how easy we make to the "end user".....00:44
Venemofcrochik: I recommend HeSimpleColorDialog. It can also have an advanced mode in which the user can select an arbitrary color00:44
*** trumee is now known as zzztrumee00:44
fcrochikVenemo: now that you have your library out there I may use it! The color dialog is a very small thing on mycontacts but I hate to know that it doesn't work00:45
DocScrutinizerI still think:00:45
lcukfcrochik, this issue is what requires resolving and why even though MohammadAG51 calls his repository the ssu one, its not yet - its merely bleeding edge.00:45
DocScrutinizer~pr1.300:45
infobotit has been said that pr1.3 is a ban'able subject now..... will probably be out in 1/0 days00:45

Jaizuke@MohammadAG : Hey you got a second?00:50
DocScrutinizerpfff00:50
Venemofcrochik: it has a whole bunch of other Gtk/Hildon widgets too00:50

infobotmessy... err busybox is meant for lean scripting. Regarding all the missing options and immanent limitations (see su) it's not really the interactive shell of choice. A lot of people hate busybox because a lot of system integrators don't understand the difference between busybox and a decent user interactive shell plus unix utils01:53

DocScrutinizerhatake_kakashi: either of those, yes02:03
lcukthanks \o02:03
* lcuk gets back to packing02:03
DocScrutinizerhatake_kakashi: maemo basically is trying even harder than ubuntu to mimic a windows machine02:03
*** drizztbsd_ is now known as drizztbsd02:04
hatake_kakashiDocScrutinizer, its sad considering they expected NIT to not be as popular as their normal handsets to also assume that NIT owners won't be inclined to use power tools02:04
*** lolloo has joined #maemo02:04
hatake_kakashiDocScrutinizer, at least it not as bad as symbian mimicking windows :)02:04
DocScrutinizerhatake_kakashi: seems there's been a paradigma shift regarding that - now maem.. errr meego is hyped to become their top notch smartphone OS02:05
*** t_s_o has quit IRC02:05
DocScrutinizerso of course they go for abominations like extension hiding, VFAT filesystems, and no proper gnutools02:06
hatake_kakashiDocScrutinizer, well when the time comes critics will be giving us the verdict of a quick rundown of what n9 will be like.. n900 was heralded as combining both internet tablet and phone functionality came out to be neither really good at either of them :)02:06
DocScrutinizercan't argue aginst that02:07
SpeedEvilNo proper gnutools is the right decision.02:08
andaxfrankly speaking, i think the GUI parts do not work like i want it to work and the kernel is not made with GUI so chances to survive without binary utilities are near zero02:08
nidOthat said, my n900 both makes and receives perfectly good phone calls, so it gets a 10/10 from me as a phone02:08
hatake_kakashiit saddens me having to point out the obvious :) alas we'll see what n9 will be like02:08
DocScrutinizerbut you got the chance to sanitize :-D02:08
nidOwhich is more than can be said for most apple/android trash where the phone is an afterthought02:08
nidOat least in the n900's case, its an afterthought that nokia *are good at*02:08
hatake_kakashiandax, which is why alot of new n900 owners thinking it was a cool device actually wore out their novelties within the first few months02:09

DocScrutinizermere phone is excellent, but tbh my 6210 as of y2000 was smarter on the few phone *apps* it had, than a plain N900 is ootb02:10
hatake_kakashiwell in most cases n900 is very good for linux power users in general however: 1) it lacks portrait functionality for almost everything else apart from web browsing and phone calling (not to mention phone calling doesn't even log the amount of time you spent on it without a 3rd party tool if there is one) 2) the battery sizes for what reason is beyond me do they opted to give n900 a much much smaller sized plus the capacity on n900 compared to its prede02:11

*** NishanthMenon has quit IRC02:12
andaxbut also, some GUI apps amaze me, i dont want to miss them and i see there is a lot respectable work in them.02:12
nidOthe battery issue has always annoyed me, when my e90's bp-4l, of basically the same volume, is 1500mah02:12
hatake_kakashiand there's still lots of owners facing weak microUSB ports that can be easily ripped out02:12
DocScrutinizerOMG, really? 180mA less?02:13
DocScrutinizerI still get 3 days standby with active IRC *easily*02:13
hatake_kakashieveryone's usage of it as a phone, as a tablet or both has different views on how good or how bad it is02:14
jaskamines a table that occasionally rings02:14
jaskatablet*02:14
hatake_kakashiits not just the 180mA less that annoys me.. I still cannot find a single source of where to buy BL-5J except to order them online02:14
nidODocScrutinizer: its 15% less battery life than a battery essentially the same volume and like a 4 year older design, yes02:14
*** jpinx-eeepc has joined #maemo02:14
hatake_kakashihad it been the same size as its predecessor, there would have been no dramas for me whatsoever to buy spare batteries02:15
DocScrutinizerit's a dfferent cell chemistry though. Maybe LiPo isn't that siuted for the use and duty pattern02:15
jaskaatleast the keyboards buttons feel better than n810.. albeit they could be larger02:15
andaxhatake_kakashi: It would change a lot if the pointer pen could have two or three (mouse-)buttons and a bluetooth connection to the n900. Some common linux apps could be used.02:15
andaxi think it could be done. i think bluetooth devices can be so tiny.02:16
hatake_kakashiandax, heh there were discussions of multitap and about using capacitator screen rather than resistive02:16
DocScrutinizerandax: hey! :-D attach a USB mouse!02:16
hatake_kakashithat requires n900 USB OTG which is still WIP02:16

DocScrutinizerhttp://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=824197#post82419702:17
hatake_kakashiDocScrutinizer, no but I believe you would need OTG support and plus you have to either hack the mouse with the connector or buy a mouse that actually has microUSB connector as andax said02:18
DocScrutinizerfor those that've been living under a stone for the last 3 months02:18

*** achipa has quit IRC02:18
*** n6pfk has quit IRC02:18
hatake_kakashiDocScrutinizer, that doesn't mean its stable :) I've seen that thread.. requires custom kernel which would again put it out of the equation compared to its predecessors having OTG capability built-in02:19
hatake_kakashiandax, heh that sucks02:19
andaxindeed :(02:19
hatake_kakashi"The purpose of this package is NOT to bring hostmode to the masses, but it's meant to facilitate other devels to give a try to current state of what we basically achieved so far - and we are NOT INTERESTED in support requests, nor in "works for me" or "boohoohoooo It fails!!1!1!"" -- as per link quote02:20
DocScrutinizerhatake_kakashi: sorry then, we won't get any better than that any time soon - at least regarding need of a kernel that actually supports USB host02:20
*** Blaatmeister has quit IRC02:21
nidO*insert obligatory "hope datz in 1.3 then!" comment*02:21
DocScrutinizerit seems not even meego kernels most bleeding edge are going to adopt the nasty hacks needed to put N900 USB host to work02:21
hatake_kakashiDocScrutinizer, I know, hence I don't go expect, there's plenty of other hacks I've yet to implement in my n900 but I mean it can put some owners off really.. OTG not as per standard (irregularity out of its NIT series? :))02:21

hatake_kakashimaybe its about time nokia should make n900 the "I am not a wannabe" NIT owner02:23
hatake_kakashiDocScrutinizer, best way to look at things, there's no more flexible platform for mobile OS to work with compared to maemo I'd dare say02:24

hatake_kakashiahh02:26
hatake_kakashiI'm fairly happy overall with my n900 despite of all its pitfalls that I constantly pick on about. A lot better than my n95-1 (minus a few things) and it also fulfilled my desires to own my very own linux powered phone02:28
hatake_kakashilet just say that its not just a phone, its more like a portable device which has phone capability02:28
nidOI do really like the n900, but, frankly, it's not quite what i'd hoped.02:29
*** felipe` has joined #maemo02:29
*** hcm has quit IRC02:29
hatake_kakashiit isn't for many I bet, but if you can work with it, it will still make you quite happy as a base for many other things02:29
nidOI wanted a mobile do-everything device that was an upgrade to my e90. does not deliver.02:29
hatake_kakashiI was hoping to fully kick my n95-1 out but that didn't happen as well02:30
DocScrutinizerI wanted a N810 with UMTS, I got much more02:30
DocScrutinizermodulo the smaller screen and kbd02:31
hatake_kakashin900 is my first NIT device02:31
Mouseykakashi proctology!02:31
nidOditto, I could never really see the practical upshot of older ones over the e-series or communicators of the time02:31
hatake_kakashiI was also quite annoyed at nokia's plan to make meego rather than dedicating themselves to work with maemo platform02:32

hatake_kakashiMousey, lolwut?02:32

DocScrutinizerGENERAL CHANNEL POLICY ANNOUNCEMET: it's deprecated to post URLs that neithe contain nor come with a hint about their content. BEWARE! might cause kick or ban02:35
jaska:D02:35
nidOhatake_kakashi: n900 being better than communicators - not so for actually getting things done, by a long way02:36
hatake_kakashinidO, well not so but then again the base hardware is much better, its just the UI that's the let down.. at least I guess it'll be up to the maemo community to focus on making alternatives and maybe then shall n900 mimic a little like communicator series02:37
*** marciom has joined #maemo02:37
nidOwell, the hardware's better *in some ways*. the keyboard is a massive step down over any communicator or eseries02:38
hatake_kakashiMousey, ever seen to aru kagaku no railgun? n900 reminds me of `the last order' :D the immature and pre-released NIT series :D02:39
nidOI do really like my n900 but I was very close to returning it after finding out just how terribad the keyboard was, and having to pick up my lower jaw from the floor after seeing the train wreck that is maemo's modest implementation02:40
hatake_kakashiand don't forget about the screen not being able to tilt on an angle like n9702:40
nidOwell, there the communicators have the n97 and n900 thoroughly licked as well, being as you can have them at any angle02:41
hatake_kakashialas all communicators and e-series were powered none other than symbian02:41
nidOsymbian's fine02:41
hatake_kakashinot for me02:41
nidOits a very good, solid, efficient os with a bit of a dated ui sitting on it.02:41

andaxdoes someone not find the maemo filesystem "hierarchy" is confusing? o_O02:41
Mouseyhatake_kakashi: nah, not my style. =/02:41
nidOfor getting things done, I couldnt give a toss that the icons look a bit old02:42
lcukDocScrutinizer, I have seenirc bots that will lookup the title automagically for links (like youtube etc)02:42
hatake_kakashiandax, not really, especially when you have worked with a fair few various linux distros :)02:42
DocScrutinizermeh, titles are blue smoke and sand in your eyes02:42
hatake_kakashiMousey, lol fair enough02:42
andaxhatake_kakashi: cant find the users home directory via bt file transfer02:43
andaxhatake_kakashi: seems having a different order02:43
hatake_kakashiI'm not worried about icons or its provided features I'm moreso concerned of its overall functionality in that it doesn't try and inhibit users' desires.. which is exactly what my n95-1 ultimately shitted me the most02:44
DocScrutinizerlcuk: either it's clear from context what about an URL is, or you might feel oblighed to give enough info to save 449 users from clicking on that URL to find out02:44
hatake_kakashiandax, its either /home/user or /home/user/MyDocs.. under usual hfm and stuff like that I think it'll just show up as your device name which links to /home/user/MyDocs once you open that up02:45
*** chx has joined #maemo02:45
DocScrutinizerlcuk: and the promise to kick/ban after some warnings wasn't kidding02:45
DocScrutinizerlcuk: in other chans you earn a kickban on posting *any* URL02:46
DocScrutinizerwhich of course is insane02:46
lcukDocScrutinizer, but that policy isnt great, its not going to be important enough for people to remember or need to know?  just common sense, if you get infuriated enough to raise a kickban, why not just use the energy and ask the user what the link was?02:46
hatake_kakashisupport channels you don't unless you repeat or you constantly post offtopic junk02:46
andaxhatake_kakashi: actually, via bluetooth it is different: ..\Nokia N900\File Transfer server\foobar02:47
DocScrutinizerlcuk: I'm an evil teacher trying to educate nice folks - and I'm grumpy as you all know and love me for that02:47
hatake_kakashiandax, which program are you using? I'm using file manager and it allows me to send files through bluetooth02:48
hatake_kakashihehe02:48
lcuknot really, save the kicks for offensive content - btw kerio deserves a massive ban ;)02:48

johndomy GUI packetmanager is happy and don't want to upgrade anything03:45
jpinx-eeepcjohndo: huge03:45
johndobut when i start apt-get upgrade it wants to upgrade 3 packages03:45

johndothen the repositories are managed badly, shouldn't happen with good repositories03:50
DocScrutinizerthe repositories have some special hacks that don't take effect with pure apt03:51
chxOK so http://www.twilio.com/sms/ this seems to be a solution to my problem.03:51
johndoso anybody knows what mechanisms prevent the GUI packet manager from installing packages which apt does not know of?03:51
DocScrutinizermaybe categories or whats it called03:52

hatake_kakashiyacc, the drill for battery swapping? meh.. BL-5J isn't even available out in the normal shops.. never ceases to amaze me why they made n900 different battery size and what not.. all is well that it leaves owners high and dry till extras is available14:14

yacchatake_kakashi, well, first generic solution is an external USB battery. Does not look cool, when you run around with a cable around, but better than a dead device, ...14:19
hatake_kakashiyacc, I don't understand what you said last about female and male pattern14:19
hatake_kakashiyacc, and at least your internet tablet/phone is still kept alive despite extra ugly wiring14:20
hatake_kakashiyacc, or swapping batteries and hope you haven't missed any important calls14:20
yacchatake_kakashi, well, I've observed it with the 9500 and the E61, where my wife and me had exactly the same device, ...14:21
yacchatake_kakashi, I've been out of power often during the day, especially if I did not charge completely during the night.14:21
yacchatake_kakashi, my wife could leave the phone for days in her handbag.14:22
hatake_kakashispeaking of which about power packs, that nokia's power pack is completely ludicrous.. not only was it fitted with a puny battery, it doesn't even charge my n90014:22
*** anunakin has joined #maemo14:22
hatake_kakashiyacc, I'm sure there are plenty of females who would spend their time blabbering away.. hence that's why phones makes it convenient14:22
yacchatake_kakashi, so battery size is always relative to the usage pattern. The N900 battery is absolutely okay for somebody that uses it as a phone and does SMS with it.14:22

hatake_kakashiyacc, and again I must mention yet again, the due credit to the lack of availability of BL-5J..14:24
yacchatake_kakashi, where are you located that it's so big an issue?14:24

dneary_amigadave, Never mind... just rereading the spec: "Icons and themes are looked for in a set of directories. By default, apps should look in $HOME/.icons (for backwards compatibility), in $XDG_DATA_DIRS/icons and in /usr/share/pixmaps (in that order). Applications may further add their own icon directories to this list, and users may extend or change the list (in application/desktop specific ways).In each of these directories themes are st14:25

dsgyep, works great. I noticed the slow start (fading in LED for 2s before starting the phone) was broken when chainloading uboot, but I guess that's fixed if it's going into an official maemo version :)16:01
*** mairas has joined #maemo16:01
RST38hDoc: So, how will the dual boot procedure look from the end user point of view?16:01
DocScrutinizeraiui you can install meego with uBoot right away, no matter which maemo PR16:01
DocScrutinizerRST38h: Stskeeps said it's looking for a kernel on uSD, and if it doesn't find any, then it loads the 'standard' maemo kernel16:02
DocScrutinizerI hope there'll be a bootmenu as well16:02
DocScrutinizerthat's the reason why I asked for uBoot env, where uBoot stores his 'menu'16:03
dsgDocScrutinizer: When I tried the uboot stuff (a couple of months ago) the environment was hardcoded in u-boot16:03
DocScrutinizer:-(16:03
dsgBut that might have changed16:03
RST38hDoc: Ok, so a proper uSD partition is all you need? But once you have that partition, there is no user option to select one or the other?16:04
DocScrutinizeruBoot needs a dedicated mtd partition to store env, afaik16:04
DocScrutinizerRST38h: that's how I got it yesterday, yes16:04
alteregoRST38h: the basic idea was if you've got a MicroSD inserted with a kernel on it, it'd boot MeeGo, then you take that SD out and it'll boot maemo16:04
*** FIQ|n900 has joined #maemo16:04
alteregoNot sure I like that way tbh, but that's what I think Stskeeps has been talking about recently.16:05
DocScrutinizeralternative: rename the kernel(-symlink) on uSD16:05
Stskeepsother ways might be possible, but that's first approach..16:05

alteregoIt's not exactly developer friendly either (from my perspective) as you need the SD in in order to flash a new rrtfs16:07
alterego~rootfs16:08
infobotrootfs is, like, mount ro, but all the nessary files that need to be writen to are created in a ramdisk that is rw16:08
DocScrutinizerStskeeps: you've seen my suggestion to patch uBoot to keep his ENV in CAL?16:10
Stskeepsyes16:10
*** odin_ has joined #maemo16:10

Stskeepshowever our knowledge of storing stuff into CAL (at least in public) is a little bad16:10
Stskeepsand corrupt cal == bad16:11
*** ag0ny has quit IRC16:11
DocScrutinizerIt's born out of the problem we probably don't have a dedicated mtd partition for uBoot to store env there16:11

*** Cy8aer has quit IRC16:17
DocScrutinizeron Openmoko, we had to follow a rather icky process including oddly named tools like devirginator, to create new mtd partitions16:21

* ShadowJK thought there was no partition table except the one passed as bootargs to kernel..16:22
*** asj_ has quit IRC16:22
DocScrutinizerthere is *some* partitioning that e.g. uBoot is using, which aiui is stored to env but also somewhere in "partition tables" in NAND16:23
amigadavedneary: sorry, was off for a bit16:25
DocScrutinizeras said above: [2010-10-15 14:16:37] * DocScrutinizer feels headache coming while trying to wrap his head around mtdparts16:25

amigadavedneary: yeah, the file was a PNG after all, not an XPM :)16:27
amigadaveit works in pixmaps, but was a little confusing16:28
dnearyamigadave, There was one other change I wasn't sure about, but I'm sure you checked it...16:28

ieatlintyahoo is better for scripting... the YML stuff can do some very interesting things17:08
ieatlintalso, yahoo pipes can be interesting... but no one knows about it17:08

njaindoesn't matter what we call it i think we are getting what lock button is.17:20
jpinx-eeepcnjain: stop the car to answer the call - it's illegal in most countries to use a phone while driving17:21

BCMMit would be nice to be able to answer the phone without touching the screen actually17:22
BCMMfor if you're fingers are not very clean17:22
BCMMi was fixing my bike yesterday, and actually answered with my nose17:22

BCMMthe one that lets you switch the speakers on when the proximity sensor detects you taking the phone away from your head17:24

DocScrutinizeroshin: if it's only for the button appearing though it shouldn't, then it's just poor coding. The button object gets instantiated though some condition checked later on says it shouldn't and removes it. But as long as you actually got that theme, I can't see why you'd not want this button19:09

DocScrutinizer[2010-10-15 17:53:36] <DocScrutinizer> the only semi decent way to deal with it were to write a virus to delete every file on every machine in this universe that refers to trackerd/thumbnailer20:02

DocScrutinizerjavispedro:20:04
DocScrutinizer[2010-10-15 17:56:00] <DocScrutinizer> though tbh it's not exactly tracker that's *BAD*(tm), it's the way maemo (and meego >:-/ ) are using it20:04
DocScrutinizer[2010-10-15 17:59:38] <DocScrutinizer> there's just one thing that's even worse than the mere fact tracker is used for creating a shadow flat "filesystem index" for all media, and that's the way it is configured to actually accomplish that task20:04
RST38hThere isn't much you can do configuring it on Maemo20:05
RST38hIt still comes down to traversing media files20:05

truderso, iwlist wlan0 scan: Interface doesn't support scanning: Network is down23:35
trudertrying sysklogd now..23:35
DocScrutinizertruder: either your wlan RX is broken, or the wifi antenna is defect. You could investigate further to tell apart, but to what benefit?23:35
DocScrutinizertruder: open up the 'connections' in system status, then try again iwlist23:36

truderDocScrutinizer, I tend to agree with you, HOWEVER, i saw a number of posts in different sites, where people had the same or similar problems, and some solution or other (though i seem to have tried all now), including flashing.. solved them (for some at least )23:37
truderhope is the last to die.. :(23:37
DocScrutinizertruder: of course wlan system is powered down when not associated to AP and not scanning (started by maemo obscure connectivity framework)23:37
*** Venemo has quit IRC23:38
truderDocScrutinizer: "open up the connections" in system status: is this "internet connections" in settings? Or is there some menu i'm missing23:38
DocScrutinizerthe first method you mentioned before23:38
truderah ok23:39
DocScrutinizer"clicking the icon right to battery..."23:39
DocScrutinizeryou see a small spinning progress clock in the top black bar, right to "change or stop connection"23:40
DocScrutinizerspinning means it's doing a 'iwlist wlan0 scan' as well (or something similar)23:41
truderah same thing.. no connections available23:41
truderi'll just take it back to have it exchanged23:41
DocScrutinizerwhat does 'iwlist wlan0 sca' say23:41
truderi guess i've expired all the options23:41

DocScrutinizerif so, odds are your fs got corrupted -> full reflash23:53
VenemoDocScrutinizer: it was on, battery didn't pop out23:53
DocScrutinizerhmm, do a full reflash anyway23:54
VenemoDocScrutinizer: then it began behaving oddly23:54
