*** visz has joined #maemo00:35
*** RangerBob has joined #maemo00:35
DocScrutinizerumm, call setfocus() or sth like that?00:35
DocScrutinizerbut actually that's a STRONGLY deprecated practice for almost all cases00:36
*** kthomas_vh_ has quit IRC00:36
FIQ|n900let's use it everytime someone writes something in a channel in xchat00:37
MohammadAGnot this case, suppose you have a media player window open, you click the widget, it should show now playing right?00:37
FIQ|n900:D00:37
DocScrutinizeran app may switch itself to foreground on user interaction or some rare high importance event. No app may ever try to stay in foreground00:37
*** davyg has quit IRC00:37
MohammadAGI don't want to create another window (obviously), so there has to be a way to show it on top00:37
*** RangerBob has quit IRC00:38
DocScrutinizerMohammadAG: right, that's the case "on user interaction"00:38
MohammadAGyeah, sorry, IRC's lagging00:39
DocScrutinizerMohammadAG: check how arbitrary other apps (or is it HDM?) do it, as virtually every app gets focus and foreground (ontop) when starting it while it's running00:39
MohammadAGthat's the window manager (h-d in this case)00:39
MohammadAGhmm00:40
*** mc_teo has joined #maemo00:40
MohammadAGI wonder if it's activateWindow()00:40
*** joga has quit IRC00:40

* SpeedEvil ponders making a calculus joke, and then backs away from the nerdiness.01:00
MohammadAGDocScrutinizer, in Qt/C++/C/Glib/whatever01:01
kerioSpeedEvil: what joke?01:01
kerioi'm a nerd!01:01
kerioa math one!01:01
kerioi like math jokes01:01
DocScrutinizerMohammadAG: there's probably no other/better/equivalent way to what file does01:01
*** rd has quit IRC01:03
DocScrutinizerso this is a perfect example to follow basic unix design principles and use existing general simple functions to build more specific functions out of them - in expression use system()01:03
DocScrutinizeror you find a lib that's doing what file cmd does01:03
MohammadAGDocScrutinizer, I'm not launching file from my app01:04
DocScrutinizer:shrug:01:04
SpeedEvilI vaguely recall libmagic01:05
MohammadAGI just need to know if the file is a video or an audio file to show the correct window01:05
SpeedEvilyeah01:05
MohammadAG#define MAFW_METADATA_KEY_MIME: Describes the type and format of the item. Its value is a string of <type> '/' <subtype> defined in RFC2045 section 5.1. The value should be interpreted according to that standard.01:06
MohammadAGinteresting01:06
MohammadAGisn't that music/subtype or video/subtype?01:06

DocScrutinizerwhatever it is, it's just a #define01:38
*** muelli has quit IRC01:39
DocScrutinizermaybe mafw-* has some method to determine the mimetype of a file and pass back a result according to that define.01:39
*** retro|cz has quit IRC01:39
*** swordi has joined #maemo01:39
DocScrutinizermaybe hildon has a general mimetype management (which then probably works similar to 'file' in some aspects)01:40
*** Kilroo has quit IRC01:40
MohammadAGwell, yeah, that, but it's not working :P01:40
DocScrutinizerSpeedEvil's hint about libmagic is a realy good one01:40
MohammadAGand the stock player isn't doing it, it just jumps to playback according to DBus01:41
DocScrutinizersure, stock MP is relying on tracker data. And tracker also has some way to determine type of file. Dunno how it works exactly01:42
MohammadAGno, tracker also uses DBus01:43
DocScrutinizerfor some strange reason the terms "conduit" and "plugin" have a fight in my mind01:43
MohammadAGand it's not poking at that01:43
MohammadAGit's using some C/GLib API01:43
DocScrutinizerMohammadAG: tracker can't read and index files via DBus01:43
MohammadAGgnome_vfs_get_mime_type_from_uri <-ha01:43
MohammadAGDocScrutinizer, all calls to tracker are done via DBus01:44
*** sid has joined #maemo01:44
DocScrutinizeryeah sure01:44
MohammadAGsince both mafw and the mediaplayer are using tracker, it causes slowness01:44
MohammadAGthat's why the stock UI sucks01:44
RST38hTracker!01:44
RST38hEvil@!01:44
DocScrutinizerthat's unrelated to tracker's indexing and file content scanning/classifying action though01:44
MohammadAGwell, tracker indexes on its own01:45
MohammadAGthen provides the data over DBus01:45
MohammadAGdbus-monitor --session01:45
DocScrutinizerwe all know that01:45
RST38hYea01:45
MohammadAGthen start the stock player, it gives me headaches01:46
*** mva has quit IRC01:47
RST38hIt behaves...weirdly. So does Modest though01:47
RST38hCheck out what happens with mail account update times in the main view, for example =)01:48
* DocScrutinizer ponders stopping trackerd (from autoindexing a certain directory), then copy over some e.g. mp3, and click on that file unknown to tracker in HFM01:48
RST38hIn the stock media player, see what happens with the list of songs to be played01:48
RST38hSimilar crap01:48
*** ftrvxmtrx has joined #maemo01:48
MohammadAGDocScrutinizer, it'd work fine01:50
DocScrutinizerI bet HFM somehow has to determine the type of file. I'd not be surprised it asks tracker about type of file, and tracker in turn notices it's a file not yet indexed and starts to find out about the file's properties like tracker usually does01:51
keriotracker is as tracker does01:52
*** chelli has quit IRC01:52
DocScrutinizerthis means this very moment tracker will do sth similar to `file <file>`01:52
*** mva has joined #maemo01:52
DocScrutinizereither you use same procedure (asking tracker via DBus), or you consider doing the filetype inspection on your own, using `file` or libmagic or whatever you find appropriate01:53
*** chx has quit IRC01:54
DocScrutinizeror you don't care and simply try to open the file for video playback (or audio or whatever the user asked for) and see if it works or fails01:55
*** Kilroo has joined #maemo01:55
DocScrutinizerNB some audio formats (e.g .au) are hard or impossible to determine by anything other than listening to them :-)01:56
DocScrutinizerwell, probably those formats are hard to playback in MP either, as you'd need to specify sampling rate and other parameters01:57
* ShadowJK implemented .au once01:58
*** JenasonAKX has left #maemo01:58
DocScrutinizer(I'm not absolutely sure about .au. IIRC it's the headerless raw audio dump format used by Sun?)01:59
ShadowJK"Originally it was headerless, being simply 8-bit ยต-law-encoded data at an 8000 Hz sample rate" ... "Newer files have a header that consists of six unsigned 32-bit words, an optional information chunk and then the data (in big endian format)."02:00
MohammadAGDocScrutinizer, umm, I already mentioned what it uses02:00
MohammadAGconst char*         gnome_vfs_get_mime_type_from_uri    (GnomeVFSURI *uri);02:01

MohammadAGif it didn't segfault, yeah02:03
*** zakkkkm has joined #maemo02:03
zakkkkmIs meego 1.2RC n900 worth trying?02:03

*** PhonicUK has quit IRC02:04
MohammadAGthey're the ones working on it, not us02:05
MohammadAGbut if you're not a dev, you don't need to install it02:05

zakkkkmit is, i just want to experiment for fun02:05
DocScrutinizerMohammadAG: maybe interesting: find /usr/ -name '*mim*'02:05
zakkkkmkind of bored weekend :)02:06
zakkkkmi bought the n900 cause of maemo. I wont leave maemo.02:06
MohammadAGDocScrutinizer, not much help, it's segfaulting and gdb's showing it segfaults @ strchr02:07

DocScrutinizerMohammadAG: you might want to look at /usr/share/mime/packages/mediaplayer-service-mime.xml and see who's using it and how you can exploit that02:11
MohammadAGDocScrutinizer, I don't want nasty hacks when there's a perfectly good function for it, that segfaults02:11
MohammadAGgnome_vfs_get_mime_type_from_uri (uri); <-- is where it's segfautling02:12
DocScrutinizerlol02:12
zakkkkmyour reverse engineering?02:12
DocScrutinizersorry, your wording made me laugh02:12
MohammadAGit was intended, I'm sure :P02:12
MohammadAGzakkkkm, no, just replacing the stock player02:13
DocScrutinizerMohammadAG: "...see who's using it and how you can exploit that" wasn't meant to suggest "nasty hacks". Just stating that file probably is part of the existing perfectly working solution02:13
*** rcg has quit IRC02:14
MohammadAGDocScrutinizer, I think that's read by gnome vfs02:14
MohammadAGthat's how gnome based desktops work, not sure how KDE does it02:14
DocScrutinizerso yes, then probably that lib is the one you want to use02:14
mtnbkrMohammadAG, DocScrutinizer: looks like the microsd reader is shot on my N900.   Took the 8GB microsd to someone who had a reader for it and everything was fine. but phone will not read it. shows up as "corrupted memory card (or whatever)   So I bought a 16GB microsd and the phone does not even see it at all.  :(02:16

MohammadAGthat makes the driver returns error code -10 (or -110, can't remember)02:17
DocScrutinizeroh yes. that one nasty crap02:17
mtnbkrwell, the 8GB had been working in my N900 since Dec 12th '1002:17
mtnbkrthey are both "SanDisk" cards one 8GB on 16GB02:18

GeneralAntillesAnybody good IDing helicopters? http://www.flickr.com/photos/generalantilles/5571688290/02:18
DocScrutinizermtnbkr: some rare cards don't work with particular readers. Also it might be possible you bitkilled the SDcard driver of your system (->reflash). And finally it might be bad luck and you got two shaky cards02:20

*** sq-one has quit IRC02:21
MohammadAGuri is NULL for some reason :/02:21
mtnbkrDocScrutinizer: I am guessing the former since the 8GB (original) was fully readble by some due with a windws machine who told me I might have to reboot my phone for it to recognize the card... I told him my phone runs Linux, I don't need to reboot it for such trivial things. lol02:21
mtnbkrso describe "bitkilled" and then describe "how to fix"  lol02:22
DocScrutinizerat OM (freerunner) we seen several problems with SD cards that needed reduced clock frequency to work reliably02:22

DocScrutinizerpreferably another brand02:48
* ShadowJK recommends sandisk02:49

nox-mtnbkr, or try reading the card on a pc reader?02:49
mtnbkrI am not actually made of money (even though I bought the N900 in Nov 2010 at FULL REATAIL   lol02:49
DocScrutinizerShadowJK: both were sandisk02:49
mtnbkrDocScrutinizer: yeah, good idea02:49
DocScrutinizermtnbkr: same here :-)02:49
mtnbkrI COULD. NOT. WAIT.    lol02:50
ShadowJKI bought it Nov 2009 retail :-)02:50

mtnbkrBTW, I had to use my old iPhone 3G while this was being repaired... I HATE the iPhone!   I only keep it around since I have a cool app that I can plug my electric guitar into and add in effects etc...02:50
ShadowJKbtw, "Corrupted memory card" could mean anything from a partition table the N900 doesn't like, to filesystem corruption, to actual memory card brokenness02:51
DocScrutinizeryep02:51
DocScrutinizerit might even be formated (/[not] partitioned) as a superfloppy02:52

DocScrutinizertry listing the partition(s) with sfdisk02:53
ShadowJKmtnbkr, do you speak linux02:53
mtnbkrDocScrutinizer: p[lus earlier today I dd'ed it  and then it was STILL readable so it tells me my sd reader/writer is non-functional since all those 0's never made it to the microsd card02:53
mtnbkrShadowJK: almost exclusively02:53
mtnbkrI also speak mountain biking, beer, OS/2 and RPN  :)02:53
DocScrutinizermtnbkr: good point, yeah. dd should have erased it02:54
ShadowJKRight.. I'd fire up a rootshell on N900, try mount it manually (check with 'mount' first to check what MyDocs device name is called, because they can jump around and get renamed a bit)02:54

DocScrutinizeryes03:03
ShadowJKYeah, I regulary freak out seeing errors on N810 internal mmc, but that's because I still have the faulty Nokia partition table which defines a partition bigger than the internal mmc size03:03
DocScrutinizerunderstood03:03
DocScrutinizerWUUUUT?03:03
DocScrutinizerNokia by default has a fubar'd partition table on eMMC??03:04

alteregoAh, sunday morning tmo trolling13:19
DocScrutinizerit's still largely unclear how those multi-button multimedia headsets work, but definitely they seem to be incompatible for the button operation, at least to the way the N900 driver reads out that signal. N95 has a similar hardware to handle headsets and obviously can handle multibutton13:19
timeless_w7ipdoc: depending on whose headset you're talking about13:21
timeless_w7ipthey use a proprietary protocol13:21
timeless_w7ipwhich required significant effort toimplement13:21
timeless_w7ips/toi/to i/13:21
infobottimeless_w7ip meant: which required significant effort to implement13:21
timeless_w7ip.. spread across multiple software stack levels13:22
delphiDocScrutinizer so they aren't supported on driver level?13:22
MohammadAGalterego, you still read that site?13:22
DocScrutinizeraccording to the source appearing somewhere on web Nokia has another linux device that will use a dedicated MCU ASIC to communicate to the MM-headsets13:22
DocScrutinizerdelphi: seems so13:23
DocScrutinizerthis source suggests the protocol is rather complex13:23
timeless_w7ipfurther, it wasn't a requirement and the hardware that was shipped was selected because it wasn't unsupported13:23
timeless_w7ip(we're practical, not always stupid)13:23
DocScrutinizerand probably any kind of serial, and also probably via mic similar to one-button13:23
timeless_w7ipobviously we have hardware which didn't work withour device, and obviously it was available in volume since it shipped w/ other devices13:24

infobottimeless_w7ip meant: we definitely had more complicated headsets available13:27
*** budfive has quit IRC13:28
timeless_w7ipand the reason is that it wasn't practical to implement the necessary bits for the n90013:28
robbiethe1stOh; that makes sense - So, they just used a simpler headset13:28
robbiethe1stHm... the hardware13:28
DocScrutinizeryeah, ok. np. The topic (my topic) is slightly different though13:28
timeless_w7ipyeah, we used something that worked13:28
robbiethe1stIt'd do a better headset with proper driver, right?13:28
timeless_w7ipinstead of shipping something that wouldn't work13:28
timeless_w7iprobbie: the proper driver being split across 3 or more layers13:29
timeless_w7ipiirc including kernel13:29
timeless_w7ip"it'd do better with better software, it's only software"13:29
robbiethe1stAlright. But it's still a software problem, not hardware.13:29
DocScrutinizerit's not any question the shipped headset is both crap and standard compliant, as are all phones since ~4 years13:29
timeless_w7ipwell13:29
MohammadAGRetrieving information on the new media files.13:30
MohammadAGEstimated time remaining: %s13:30
MohammadAGhow do I pass an int to that strings?13:30
timeless_w7ipmy understanding is that doing it in software is hard and that it /might/ be possible to make it easier for the software if there was fancier hardware13:30
MohammadAGstring*13:30
timeless_w7ipmohammadag: by first converting the int to a string13:30
MohammadAGthat's easy, then?13:30
DocScrutinizerit's just the point I dunno what exactly the PHY layer specs are for the MM-headsets, but I'm sure N900 could do as N900 has same hw as N9513:30
robbiethe1stAh13:30
MohammadAGprintf? or is there some other Qt equivalent13:31
timeless_w7ipmohammadag: there should be a Qt thing for it13:31
timeless_w7iplook for Number.ToString or String.FromNumber or ...13:31
DocScrutinizerand of course bitbanging a serial 1 wire protocol in sw is tricky13:31
MohammadAGQString::fromNumber(), I mean is there something to pass that string to the translatable one13:31
timeless_w7ipusre13:31
timeless_w7ips/usre/sure/13:31

timeless_w7ipoddly i've actually even used it13:32
* timeless_w7ip did Qt work for VirtualBox not too long ago13:32

DocScrutinizeranyway implementing such shit in sw, as kernel driver, is exactly my domain of expertise13:35
DocScrutinizerand I regularly piss of sw devels with layering violations13:36
DocScrutinizerbut in the end it always works13:36
DocScrutinizerI would have started with specifying the sw arch long ago, if somebody would've paid me for a MM-headset and a N95 plus a week's worth rent for a scope13:38
DocScrutinizeror - even better - Nokia would've disclosed this protocol specs13:39

kwtmThx for info about winmail.dat.  Unrelated question: I have installed lynx from extras-devel, but some help files seem to be missing.  In particular, "dpkg -L lynx" shows that files like "/usr/share/doc/lynx/lynx_help/leystrokes/cookie_help.html" (for example) were (supposed to be) installed, but the entire /usr/share/doc/lynx directory is missing.  How can I get the maemo.org web site to list what's actually in the lynx package to14:34

timeless_w7ipkwtm: a bug is something that doesn't work according to design15:22
timeless_w7ipthe design allows you to break the device as much as you like by installing third party software or using xterminal15:22

timeless_w7ipanyway, generally speaking a terminal on any os will enable you to break stuff15:29
timeless_w7ipand there's an implied contract that you should know what you're doing and remember what you've done15:29
kwtmI see now that there can be just a minority of people who can make things really intimidating for a noob.15:29
timeless_w7ipyou can break a windows computer or a macintosh similarly easily if you wield a command prompt15:30
mikhashappens with every community15:30
timeless_w7ipmy favorite is OS X w/ file vault15:30
timeless_w7ipif you ssh into a file vault'd user and log out15:30
timeless_w7ipthen you'll never be able to log into that user's account again15:30
timeless_w7ipbecause it doesn't unmount the volume15:30
kwtmtimeless_w7ip: Well, at the time we were suspicious of all sorts of packages from extras-devel, so I tried installing half of it at a time, installing different halves and seeing which combination of installed packages resulted in a crash.  Which is why I haven't been installing from extras-devel until recently.15:30
mikhassome people feel their opinion has more weight, because they've been there "from the beginning", or so15:30
timeless_w7ipand gets really pissed :)15:30
kwtmmikhas: Yes, I see that now.  But at the time I hadn't been on IRC a lot ; I just logged on because I was desperate to make a phone call and my cell phone had crashed. :P15:31
timeless_w7ipkwtm: the reason to be suspicious of third party <Stuff> is because it's usually to blame15:31
timeless_w7ipin this case it was a third party file created by you :)15:31
timeless_w7ipit's easier to finger third party software because that's easier to spot15:31
timeless_w7ipit's also easier to test/revert15:31
*** mikhas has quit IRC15:32
jacekowskiDocScrutinizer: that too15:32
kwtmSo, going back to the original reason I brought this up: now it's a tradeoff between "don't install from extras-devel because it might break the N900 again!" and "install from extras-devel now before the repository disappears in a Left Behind type scenario!"15:32

timeless_w7ipthe right thing to do is to get someone to mirror it15:33
DocScrutinizerkwtm: I haven't found any *serious* problems with any devel sw15:33
kwtmI ask myself: if I am marooned on an island on the other side of the world, where no one has ever heard of Linux, for how long will I be able to use my smartphone?  (This actually happened, btw.)15:33
timeless_w7ipbecause as i learned, just because you install stuff doesn't mean you won't want to reinstall it later15:33
timeless_w7ipkwtm: your island has cellular/wifi? :)15:34
* timeless_w7ip prefers the islands that don't15:34
timeless_w7ipalso, it has A/C? :)15:34
timeless_w7ipagain, the islands which don't are better ;)15:34
kwtmtimeless_w7ip: I tried installing one app at a time, but because the crash would only happened at odd times, I couldn't actually trigged it to crash.  When I realized it was crashing on bootup, then I figured out how to reproduce the fault and it took only 2 hours to zero in on the problem.15:34
timeless_w7ip(wrt installing stuff, i had installed an app i really liked, but it disappeared from its repo, and after reflashing i couldn't reinstall it. had i saved the .deb's i'd have been fine)15:35

timeless_w7ipget me the number for that island!15:35

DocScrutinizerwhat an idiot, claiming X is perfect, then when you explain X is far from being perfect, just a requirement due to Y, he's suggesting "go start your own company to do it better" - how utterly missing the point16:38

MohammadAGmultiplying a float by 100 should make it an int right?16:39
Macern810 with a windshield mount and the bt obd216:40
alteregoMohammadAG: no16:40
SpeedEvilOk - a hundred.16:40
alteregoMohammadAG: you have to cast it16:40
alteregoMohammadAG: a floats precision isn't just to two decimal places :P16:40
MohammadAGstatus : buffering status as a fraction (0.0 - 1.0).16:41
MacerSpeedEvil: how did that openmoko work out?16:41
MohammadAGit's not that precise here :P16:41
alteregoMohammadAG: ah, then multiply by 100 and cast to an int16:41
alteregoTo get integer percent, if that's what you're trying to do.16:41
MohammadAGyeah16:42
MohammadAGlemme guess, (int) float?16:42
SpeedEvilMacer: It comedically worked out pretty much exactly like maemo has worked out in many ways.16:42
khorben_(some Gtk+ controls expect float values)16:42
SpeedEvilMacer: Though nokia asmittedly did produce a _lot_ more functional software stack.16:42
MohammadAGint percentage = (int) buffer*100 <-- i.e like that?16:42
MacerSpeedEvil: ah. thought quite a few people got freerunners16:43
khorben_int p = (int)(buffer*100); /* is better I think */16:43
DocScrutinizerSpeedEvil: while the OM one is a lot more open ;-D16:43
SpeedEvilBut - changing toolkits mid-stream, and back again - delays in hardware, company deciding it'd ratehr do other things than linux phones.16:43
SpeedEvilAll parallels.16:43
SpeedEvilMacer: ~5-10K16:43
SpeedEvilMacer: Whereas the n900 probably sold that in the first day or three of preorder.16:43
DocScrutinizerSpeedEvil: afaik 12k16:44
Maceronly because of the nokia name16:44
Macer;)16:44
Macern900 did have so much promise tho. it is a shame16:44
Maceri sometimes think companies try to reduce fun on their devices on purpose16:45
kerioit's because they're idiots16:45
Macerbecause if you are able to keep a phone awesome for 10 years nobody will buy one of your new ones16:45
Macer:)16:45
khorben_(sony ps3 + linux)16:46
kerioif you're able to keep a phone awesome for 10 years but you make even more awesome phones, you'll still sell well16:46
Macerthe cooperate mentality16:46
DocScrutinizerSpeedEvil: at least "we" released all we possibly could, enabling 'the community' to continue developing on a proper sw stack, which actually is an ongoing effort16:46
Macerkerio: yeah. i think that too16:46
DocScrutinizerso in a number of regards OM is more alive than maemo16:46

SpeedEvilDocScrutinizer: calypso firmware source? :)16:49
SpeedEvilDocScrutinizer: but indeed - OM is much more open than n900.16:49
DocScrutinizerquery me, but don't rise hopes too high. Not even OM got more than maybe 10% of it16:50
DocScrutinizerand that'S the boring 10%16:50

kwtmHi. Need help with usb networking. The wiki on maemo.org is unclear: it says "You can also add the following lines to set the default route correctly "  Does this mean it's optional, or I NEED to add the following lines?  This is referring to "up route del default" and "up route add default gw  192.168.2.14"23:52
*** shanttu has quit IRC23:52
BCMMkwtm: do you want to talk to the internet, or just to the machine on the other end of the cable?23:53
BCMMbtw, would you mind linking that wiki page?23:53
kwtmBCMM: Just the machine.  I plan to use fish:/ as a file transfer protocol.  (Also being able to ssh into the N900 would be nice when I'm not able to have both machines connect to the same router.)23:53
BCMMi haven't had it set up nicely since i last flashed23:53
DocScrutinizerdepends if some other mechanism did the route setup for you previously. Just check route with `route`, and add the route as suggested if it's not yet there23:54
kwtmI guess an easy ... ah, thanks DocScrutinizer23:54
BCMMkwtm: you don't need the route then23:54
BCMMkwtm: btw, sftp:// should perform better23:54
BCMM(provided you've got an openssh server. won't work with dropbear.)23:54
kwtmBCMM: I've had bad luck with sftp://, and now all my scripts have standardized on fish://23:55
BCMMok23:55
BCMMusing what software, btw?23:55
kwtmDocScrutinizer: Ok, $(route) is blank.  So I guess I need to add the route.  But right now "ifconfig usb0" (as root) does not even show an IP address even though it says "RUNNING".  Is this a problem or will the "route" add in the IP address?23:56
kwtmBCMM: You mean to ssh?  Well, commandline (OpenSSH), rsync -e ssh, KDE Kparts, etc.23:56
BCMMkwtm: i mean, what fish client23:56
BCMMah, kioslaves23:56
kwtmAlso, what's the difference between "sudo gainroot" and "root"?23:57
DocScrutinizerno, you need to have proper IP addr for NIC prior to setting up route23:57
BCMM(kparts aren't the bits that handle the transfer protocols)23:57
kwtmBCMM: Well, there's also mc (midnight commander)23:57
BCMMkwtm: iirc, they've fixed the sftp:// ioslave in the next version of kde23:57
kwtmDocScrutinizer: Yeah, how does that work?  Does my laptop need to have a DHCP server?  I see the default is 192.168.2.15 for the N900 and .14 for the laptop, but does the laptop know that?23:57
DocScrutinizersftp:// works just fine here (not tested via USB but that shouldn't matter)23:58
kwtmBCMM: I'm afraid I haven't placed much faith in "the next version of KDE" ... but anyway, fish:// seems to be a good common denominator and all my scripts from KDE3 are using fish.23:58
DocScrutinizerno, your desktop doesn't know that magically23:58

*** retro|cz has joined #maemo23:58
DocScrutinizeryou should config the NIC with ifconfig23:59

DocScrutinizerbtw on your PC you don't need a route set for the USB nic, unless you want to access internet via N900 modem23:59
kwtmI mean, my laptop is already assigned a (different , I might add) IP address already.23:59
