user0but they aren't planning for PR1.400:54
user0and this meego has no apps yet00:54
SpeedEvilI would put the likelyhood of a nokia update to the N900 as about equally likely to be WP7, PR1.4, and gnu hurd.00:55

*** user0 has quit IRC01:59
jacekowskii got an e-mail from somebody and his signature was looking like that --\nName Surname\ne-mail address - \n are newlines for people not knowing01:59
jacekowskiwhat's the point of having e-mail address in e-mail signature01:59
nox-hah01:59
DocScrutinizerNFC01:59
ShadowJKbecause modern email clients hide the email address in the header02:00
DocScrutinizerjavispedro: the world goes apeshit02:00
jacekowskiDocScrutinizer: for last 100 years02:00
hiemanshuDocScrutinizer: No Fat Chicks?02:00
nox-ShadowJK may be onto something...02:00
jacekowskiShadowJK: outlook doesn't02:00
DocScrutinizerNational Fake Control02:00
jacekowskiShadowJK: opera doesn't02:00
DocScrutinizerShadowJK: that's because users must get protected from such nasty details like true pathnames, email-addr, etc02:02
nox-that reminds me of..  http://jonoscript.wordpress.com/2010/02/18/some-people-cant-read-urls/02:02
DocScrutinizerShadowJK: users are supposed to click "Answer", "Add to Contacts", whatever. So what's the friggin use of placing the email addr into signature so all these brilliant concepts fail and users' eyes will bleed from looking at it?02:03
DocScrutinizer</sarcasm>02:03
javispedrousers are supposed to click Reply _to ALL_02:04
SpeedEvilWith a convenent 'reply to all in your list' button too, that will mail everyone in your contacts list the email.02:05
DocScrutinizerhonestly, rather than adding my email to signature I'd maybe better should add a replyto:billsucks@ms.com02:05
javispedroSpeedEvil: exactly02:06
javispedrobut it might not be needed because the email they are reapplying is already a spammy powerpoint thingie02:06
javispedrocontaining most of their contacts02:06
javispedros/reapplying/replying02:06
DocScrutinizeroh yeah, the "to: <list of all my contacts - THANKYOU asshole>" mails02:07
DocScrutinizernow only make each of the recipients click "Add All To Contacts" and HOORAY02:08

DocScrutinizerheard there are now02:13
Hurrianugh, when's the 64GB card coming out?02:14
MohammadAGhow many body parts will that cost me?02:14
DocScrutinizerwell NFI about class1002:14
ds3MohammadAG: 32G does... donno about the class 10 part02:14
MohammadAGwas more interested in the class 10 part :p02:14
DocScrutinizerclassX is a fake anyway02:14
DocScrutinizerso never mind02:14
MohammadAGbtw, having songs on a uSD loads them marginally faster02:14
MohammadAGno real benchmarks02:15
ds3not completely02:15
ds3an unclassed card was painfully slow compared to a class402:15
DocScrutinizerfor all practical purposes it is02:15
DocScrutinizerask ShadowJK02:15
MohammadAGso MeeGo isn't practical02:15
MohammadAG:p02:15
DocScrutinizerthat's never been a discussed issue, of course it's not practical ;-P02:16
*** mortenvp has quit IRC02:16
ds3can MeeGo talk to the radio yet?02:16
DocScrutinizerlol02:16
ds3have to ask =)02:17
DocScrutinizerthe real FM radio?02:17
ds3no, the above 1GHz radio that is neither WiFi or BT02:17
DocScrutinizeraah, think they can, somewhat02:17
*** kW_ has quit IRC02:17

DocScrutinizerdays*02:18
*** kW_ has joined #maemo02:18
DocScrutinizernot released yet though02:18
MohammadAGI think it can do 3G yeah02:18
DocScrutinizerif it can do GPRS then it can do 3G02:19
javispedrofee shipping!02:20
ShadowJKActually, class X isn't fake as such. It's a perfect measurement of what kind of performance you can expect if you set your digital camera to rapidfire ;p02:20
ShadowJKbut that's about the only place it's relevant02:20
ShadowJKI don't know if MeeGo QA used a Kingston or Transcend, but apparently it randomly "doesn't work"02:22
javispedro"randomly doesn't work" is a phrase I've heard many times with the current state of afairs in meego n900, sadly.02:22
DocScrutinizerdo we start to guess about root cause of that now? Nah, better not02:23
MohammadAGI'm giving meego another chance02:23
MohammadAGnow I'm wondering what I should try02:24
MohammadAGmeego-tablet or handset02:24
MohammadAGand after that, de-sanity or de-acceptance02:24
javispedroDocScrutinizer: simple: reduced manpower. needs way more contributors, and specially testers with experience02:24
DocScrutinizertry tablet, a fast one. Less chances for races02:24
ShadowJKDocScrutinizer, well... a) Kingston only pretends to have read the SD spec b) there's some funny mmc timing code in maemo's kernel atleast02:24
MohammadAGshouldn't that be a in- and un-?02:24
MohammadAG:p02:24
*** kW_ has quit IRC02:25
*** kW_ has joined #maemo02:25
ShadowJKKingston cards have issues elsewhere too due to randomly not responding in the 250ms the spec requires02:25
DocScrutinizerjavispedro: I won't answer this as I opted not to "act erratically" once again. See my advice to MohammadAG for a clue what I think is the true root cause02:25
ShadowJKiirc02:25
jacekowskiShadowJK: but how they do it02:26
jacekowskiShadowJK: if they are not even making them02:26
jacekowskiShadowJK: they are only assembly company02:26
jacekowskibuy off the shelf flash chip, controller put it together and sell02:26
jacekowskiand that's all they doing02:26
MohammadAGit needs less QML imo02:27
jacekowskiwith same controllers and flash chips everybody else is using02:27
javispedrojacekowski: they can _choose_ the controller02:27
javispedro(and go bankrupt =) )02:27
*** divan has joined #maemo02:27
jacekowskijavispedro: there are only so many controllers available02:27
ShadowJKjacekowski, they aren't assembly company either02:27
*** kW__ has joined #maemo02:28
*** kW_ has quit IRC02:28
DocScrutinizerjacekowski: I bet each company has their own flavour of the controller firmware02:28
ShadowJKthey actually also have their own controller (in cooperation with someone else, I forget who). It's beyond crap02:28
MohammadAGrepository.maemo.org giving me 500kb/s, I'm actually impressed02:29
javispedroit's akamai02:32
javispedrospecially static files like .debs02:32
*** Thordasin has joined #maemo02:38
MohammadAGjavispedro, meego image02:39
Thordasinhi all, i'm blind and working on a project to make my n900 talk. is anyone here familiar with u-boot?02:39
MohammadAGjust ask I guess, though #meego would be a better place for uboot/meego related issues02:41
MohammadAGor #meego-arm, not sure02:41
javispedroactually #meego-arm02:41
MohammadAGthanks javispedro02:41
Thordasini asked on meego-arm the other day and they really didn't have an answer for me.02:43
SpeedEvilThordasin: What's your u-boot question?02:43
Thordasini was told to go to #maemo that there were some sharp guys over there :)02:43
*** Thordasin has left #maemo02:43
javispedroit must be quite a hard question :) shoot.02:43
javispedrohm.02:43
javispedrohmrpf.02:43
*** Thordasin has joined #maemo02:44
Thordasindon't know what just happend :)02:44
MohammadAGasking here wouldn't hurt I guess02:44
SpeedEvilWhat's your u-boot question?02:44
Thordasini have it built and working but it wants to load from the sd card, i have my debian rootfs on the emmc, how do you change the boot device?02:45
DocScrutinizerthat's a queation MohammadAG should be able to answer02:46
Thordasinthe readme talks about bootargs, but i can't find the file where they set them.02:46
DocScrutinizerMohammadAG made his device boot meego from eMMC02:46
Thordasinyes thats the built in 32gb02:46
MohammadAGDocScrutinizer, Thordasin last time I asked ali1234 he said he couldn't get uboot to read the eMMC02:46
MohammadAGDocScrutinizer, I use flasher-3.5 -k image -l -b "custom cmdline"02:47
DocScrutinizeraaah02:47
Thordasinwhich means you get maemo normal if you power off and back on right?02:47
MohammadAGyeah02:48
MohammadAGI couldn't get the kernel to recompile with my custom cmdline02:48
Thordasini tried to flash the debian kernel to the phone but its too big. :)02:48
MohammadAGactually I couldn't get it to compile02:48
MohammadAGload it manually02:48
MohammadAGI don't think it goes in the flash, I got a 4MB kernel loaded once02:49
Thordasini've worked on building a kernel for almost a week now with no luck. i can build it no problem but the phone won't load it it powers off or reboots.02:49
MohammadAGit was 2.6.35, was trying to get it on maemo (ha)02:49
MohammadAGof course, I couldn't get past mounting the ubifs02:49
javispedroI would reconsider if you really need a custom kernel, specially if you want to run debian.02:49
Thordasinwhy not take the meego-2.6.37 kernel?02:49
MohammadAGthat would probably be the watchdog not the kernel02:49
MohammadAGit didn't exist back then02:50
Thordasinahh02:50
Thordasinjavispedro:  what do you mean?02:50
*** Shoruken has quit IRC02:51
Thordasinby the way ou guys need to remeber as i'm blind when several people talk i'll miss messages *grin*02:51
MohammadAG(sorry to hear that)02:51
javispedroThordasin: what do you want to get with the new kernel? maybe you do not need it; Debian will probably run fine with the stock kernel.02:51
Thordasinspeakup02:52
Thordasinand tty02:52
*** Vid has quit IRC02:52
ShadowJKBut then Kingston is also known for taking anyone's surplus cards, flash, controllers, etc and branding them as their own02:52
MohammadAGThordasin, are you in R&D mode?02:53
Thordasini don't think so02:53
MohammadAGcause whether it's the stock kernel, or the meego kernel, or a custom one, it'll shut off in 30/60/120s02:53
MohammadAGunless you ping the watchdog02:53
MohammadAGfun times, look at http://wiki.maemo.org/R&D_mode02:54
Thordasinoh, well what hapens is the uboot loads ther kenel and it gets down to starting kernel... then it powers off02:54
MohammadAGyou'll need no-omap-wd02:54
*** jrocha has quit IRC02:54

ShadowJKIf you dont ping the hardware watchdog, it will think the operating system is dead. It makes no effort to talk to something dead, and reboots the system02:58

DocScrutinizerThordasin:  actually after NOLO loads uBoot you got some 30s to start up the kernel and system and start to ping watchdog, otherwise it simply reboots03:01

DocScrutinizerMohammadAG: nah, it just reads similar on some MMI03:11
ShadowJKDocScrutinizer, hey did I tell you about that fancy Li-Ion charger I ordered?03:11
DocScrutinizernope03:11
ShadowJKfancy feature to measure battery internal resistance03:12
Hurriananyone else here surprised that the n900 had a fm transmitter?03:14
nox-Hurrian, its for audio thru car radios etc03:15
MohammadAGnope :P03:15
ShadowJKAlso, it came with a bonus internal short circuit somewhere after the output stage. I did wonder "wtf" when it complained about input voltage being bad, considering my source wwas good for 50A @ 12V. I checked cables to eliminate bad contacts and retried repeatedly while wiggling cables. Then it went bang and started smoking. Fortunately it has a fan, and turned it on to blow all the smoke in my face03:15
Hurriani seriously didnt know that it had an internal fmtx03:15

Thordasinoh ok thought some said it had a short :)03:17
MohammadAGthe FMTX has epic quality if you're in a clear area actually03:18
Thordasinyes thats one reason i got it, i use fmt to listen to books all the time03:18
MohammadAGanyone ever looked into speech recognition engines?03:19
Thordasini own several bluetooth to fmt's and wanted my phone to just have it!03:19
ShadowJKwould've been fun to measure IR of my puffed BP-4L and my useless BP-4L :-/03:19
MohammadAGI want a simple car mode for the N900, something that can fire up my music with one click, route calls to bluetooth/fmtx03:19
MohammadAGsomething I can remember without having to look at the N90003:20
Thordasina while back i did, i mean i worked for 15 years for the irs in the adaptive equipment office and we used dragon all the time, but in linux there are a few gpl'd apps but i'm not sure how good they are hmm one of them had ear in the name03:20
MohammadAGconfirmation by saying Yes/No to the N900 would be nice03:20

DocScrutinizerHurrian: USB is soldered rather poorly, both on adjustment and proper soldering03:35
DocScrutinizerHurrian: a "bent" USB may indicate it has an immanent problem that may cause complete failure way more easily03:36
* DocScrutinizer even thinks 90% of those coming-off incidents are caused by poor soldering03:37
Hurrianuhh, not "bent" as in it wiggles a lot03:37
Hurrianbent as in one side is higher by 1/10ths of 1mm03:37
DocScrutinizeryeah, just slightly non-parallel to the case03:37

DocScrutinizerthey seem to fail to press the component all the way down to PCB when soldering03:38
Hurrianof all components, nokia decides to screw up the charging/data transfer port03:38

MohammadAGDecember 18th if I remember correctly03:42
MohammadAGit was out of stock before that03:42
nox-how do you find that out?  i think mine doesnt at least need much force un/plugging the usb if thats the same problem...03:42

nox-MohammadAG, well i only remember some ppl having issues needing much force un/plugging, and then breaking the connector that way...03:45
Hurriannox- , are you pulling the usb with your nondominant hand around the N900, and 2/3 fingers from your dominant hand  around the USB connector?03:45
Hurriani find that by doing it that way, i reduce the amount of force needed to pull it out03:45
nox-hmm03:46
nox-mine doesnt need much force either way...03:46

MohammadAG1) the charger's two pins or whatever (clips?) get weaker03:48

Thordasinbecause if yo put the bat in the phone came on with out power switch :)04:34
DocScrutinizerplease rephrase04:34
DocScrutinizeryeah, that's R&D mode04:34
DocScrutinizeryou should first start flasher, then plug cable, then insert battery04:35

DocScrutinizerbut hey, it's for engineers to enable R&D04:43

DocScrutinizerserial pins? are located in a recession under battery, some copper pads on PCB04:45

edheldil_Hi all, I want to write a simple game for my children - displaying some animal pictures, playing sounds, selecting a correct picture. I am too old to lose time with C, so I want to use Python. Should I use Qt or Gtk? (I know PyGtk, but rather through Glade). What are the good learning resources for them on n900? Should I use scratchbox anyway?11:38
robbiethe1stPyQT11:38
robbiethe1stIf you've got a Linux desktop, you can simply write the PyQT code there, drop it onto the n900, and run it.11:38
robbiethe1stPython/PyQT is the same between the N900 and desktop Linux, aside from the theme(basically)11:39
edheldil_is not it the same with PyGk, apart from some App classes?11:39
mikhasor use PySide :-)11:39
edheldil_~pyside11:40
robbiethe1stDunno; I've only used Python/PyQT11:40
mikhasedheldil, alternative Python bindings for Qt11:40
mikhasquite popular in Maemo land, or so I heard11:40
edheldil_Thank you, I will look into that11:42

*** SmilyOrg has joined #maemo11:45
robbiethe1stedheldil: There's always HTML/JS11:45
robbiethe1stJust use a full-screen browser window, and you've got an instant application framework. Just load files locally, and it'll be plenty fast11:46

mikhasif you say it like that12:06
edheldil_the BGC was meant more in the sense of control style, not the results12:06
edheldil_asked another way: are n900's PyQt/PySide apps usually programmed completely in a text editor?12:08
edheldil_I do not want to miss some obvious tool everybody uses :)12:09
mikhasemacs and vim ... what did you expect?12:10
edheldil_something like Glade+GttkBuilder, perhaps12:10
robbiethe1stThere's the QT builder tool... I do it all in Geany, my favorite text-editor/ide12:11

PolarFoxhttp://imgur.com/FUPmT N8 sthyle OTG disk... Would work with N900 too .. ;)12:19
PolarFox2bad that I don't have an N900 anymore so I could test.. Nokia service returned my N900... But somehow it changed to N8 on the way.. :(12:20
psycho_oreosI'd complain to them and requesting for return of N900 or I'd sue12:21
psycho_oreostoo bad its a shame you're too soft to even do that but to post something that doesn't even run maemo in a maemo channel12:22
*** tackat has joined #maemo12:22

psycho_oreosPolarFox, wow, its only one great feature, `kickass camera'. I'm sure you couldn't even tell the difference between N900's 5MP camera and n8's 12MP camera unless you're a professional photographer. Plus no decent photographers would use a phone to take a picture12:27
*** kama has joined #maemo12:28
nid0the difference is actually pretty strikingly obvious in almost any condition12:28
PolarFoxWell.. I'm a semi-pro photographer with few DSLR bodies and pile of lenses... so.. :)12:28
nid0plus, its an all-round pretty decent device12:28
PolarFoxI hated N8 for the first few weeks.. But I can live with it until I find a phone that I'd like to buy.12:29
psycho_oreosthere's plenty of other decent devices that nokia produces, but nothing would come close as the maemo series. They were built for a purpose unlike the usual ones12:29

nid0well. in many other ways its also a better productivity tool12:33

psycho_oreosI'm sure with that sort of saying, windows phones, iphones, and blackberries be all the same. For those who doesn't care let alone doesn't even care how or why it works, it has to just work.12:36
psycho_oreosmay as well get any one of those as replacement, it'll be just as efficient in terms of productivity. Lets forget about maemo because it isn't productive12:37
*** bsdmaniak has joined #maemo12:37
nid0it has nothing to do with how a device works over whether it works, it just has to do with half-assed design at nokia12:37

psycho_oreoswhat doesn't make the phone is the design or how it works, what makes the phone is a device which is specifically aimed at those of interest to buy. If someone swapped your N900 for N95 would you be happy?12:41

*** kW__ has quit IRC19:06
ShadowJKi dont think you install anythinh easily on these things :)19:06
ShadowJKUsually first problems start at the bootloader, figuring out how to make it load something from sd or other easy medium19:07
ZinovaSi wonder.. android has linux kernel, and it runs ok on the tablet. why linux itself cant be installed here ...19:07
ShadowJKWell you need to figure out the details.19:08
*** psycho_oreos has quit IRC19:08
ShadowJKNot every device lets you replace files even19:08
ZinovaSfor android i downloaded image, but in in sd, guesed correct config file and it flashed...19:08
ShadowJKWell that's good for running android, if someone has already spent the few man-month-hours for figuring out how to make android run on it, figured out how to install it, and packaged it into easy to use delivery mechanism19:10
*** bleeter has quit IRC19:12
ZinovaSbut the part of booting the kernel is almost the same i think... diference is only what happens after kernel...19:12
ShadowJKusually getting a kernel to boot is the hardest part19:13
*** onen|openBmap has joined #maemo19:14
ShadowJKand then if you have no way to create a new image, you have to figure out how to use the existing operating system to overwrite itself with new operating system, without breaking anything in the process19:14
*** bleeter has joined #maemo19:15
*** Tibux_ has quit IRC19:15

lardmanZinovaS: what is the tablet?19:16
ZinovaSwell that is done in the android (uberoid) image i have... it looks like it extracts some tar archives and puts some config files, after that I boot in to new android install..19:16
ShadowJKThese things are all different between different devices19:17
lardmandoes it have separate normal and recovery kernels, that makes life easier testing Meego out19:17
ShadowJKnot all devices give you easy access to write/extract a tar archive, for example19:17
ZinovaStablet is WonderMedia WM865019:17
lardmanZinovaS: afaiu Android kernels contain an initramfs, you can replace init there to boot whatever you wish19:18
lardmancertainly that's the approach in the Tab and the other devices I know about19:18
dangergrrlit would be nice if the kernel were gplv3, tivoing a device is allowed under gplv219:18
*** tackat has joined #maemo19:18
lardmanyou can then either mount a loop fs or I prefer to mount an external SD card containing the Meego install19:18
ShadowJKCan you still replace the initramfs if you mess it up, or does it need working initramfs in order to write a new initramfs or to reflash/replace android again?19:19
ShadowJKIt's good idea to figure out details for recovery first, and figure out what depends on what :P19:19
lardmanthe Tab has a primary and secondary bootloader, then the kernel19:19
lardmanso you can still flash if you break the kernel19:19
lardmanif you have separate normal and recovery kernels, life is easier, as on the Tab you have to alter init such that it can still boot normal Android if there's e.g. no SD card with Meego on it19:20
ZinovaSwell i tested 14 different configuration flashing my tab, most of them dont even boot, so i think flashing is in the "bios" :)19:21
lardmanto actually boot e.g. Meego you'll need to make some changes to the kernel config though, make sure you enable a console that you can see, etc19:21
lardmanZinovaS: sure, that's fine then19:21
lardmanZinovaS: have you tried extracting the initramfs from your kernel backup?19:21
lardmanI guess you've been able to root the device then backup the kernel partition using dd?19:22
ZinovaSextract with what? (im new to kernel stuff..)19:22
lardmando you have a zImage from the device (rather than one you built yourself)?19:23
lardmantake a look at my work on the Tab here: http://wiki.meego.com/ARM/Hummingbird19:23
lardmanthe extraction scripts will work for you19:23

ZinovaSno, i dont have anything from device itself, i started flashing it until it worked again with new versio of andriod...19:24
lardmanbuilding your own kernel?19:25
lardmanbecause you can also pass rootfs (iirc) as a kernel cmdline parameter19:25
*** vblazquez has joined #maemo19:25
lardmanbut afaiu Android requires things to be setup before you pass control to it, so I assumed one required an initramfs19:28
lardmanI may well be wrong :)19:28
*** piggz has quit IRC19:29
ZinovaSok, so idea there is that early in the boot process setting rootfs to SD and booting from it?19:30
lardmanthat is one option - what I do is chroot to the SD card after mounting it19:31
lardmanand then run init there19:31
lardmanthis is done in the initramfs19:31
lcukhi simon19:31

lardmanhey RST38h19:58
lardmanZinovaS: it's a cpio archive19:58
lardman477 might work if there is only an init in there I guess19:58
lardmanreally this depends on whether you care about being able to still boot Android19:59
lardmanif not then you can probably get rid and just set the kernel cmdline correctly19:59
ZinovaSnot realy, i can flash it back if i want it...19:59
lardmanyou may find that your bootloader overrides whatever you set when you compile the kernel19:59
lardmanin which case you need to modify arch/arm/kernel/setup.c iirc20:00
lardmanyou'll need to do some testing to see what happens, and also to see what the correct cmdline is as I can't remember off the top of my head, sorry20:00
ZinovaSnote: I never successfully compiled a kernel..20:01
lardmanah, well that would probably be a first step20:01
lardmancheck whether there are closed kernel modules you need, check compiler version, etc20:01
lardmanif you can compile everything from the source, then the compiler version is not overly important20:02
ZinovaSthere are some .ko files for wifi adapter..20:02
