infobotQuestions in the channel should be specific, informative, complete, concise, and on-topic.  Don't ask if you can ask a question first.  Don't ask if a person is there; just ask what you intended to ask them.  Better questions more frequently yield better answers.  We are all here voluntarily or against our will.01:12

HRH_H_Crabsorry. :(01:13
Paliso ask01:15
HRH_H_Crabim not sure how specific or concise it is.01:15
HRH_H_Crabive got some pointers about making an image / .scr and it doesnt make a lot of sense to me.01:16
HRH_H_Crabive done a fair bit of googling but i cant seem to find anything that looks solid.01:16
HRH_H_Crabim sorry to have bothered you, i guess ill just try some stuff and see what happens / do more googling. if i come up with a more specific issue i might try my luck. sorry to have bothered you.01:17

Vajbhmm screen brightness applet didn't fix problem with chess11:34
Vajbafter some time without doing anything chess jumps back to start screen11:35
Vajbso there is something more there than just screen time11:35
Vajbi suppose it is closed and wont fix?11:35

Vajbok. So chess follows screen saver time, but even if screen saver is disabled from brightness applet chess still goes by last know screen saver setting.12:19
*** LauRoman has quit IRC12:19
KotCzarnymaybe it has its own screen saver?12:20
*** florian has joined #maemo12:23
Vajbcould be, but it still respects user set screen saver12:25
Vajbif i set two minutes it stays two minutes12:25
KotCzarnyhmm, just compile xgnuchess ?12:26

Vajbi guess magic happens in file osso_chess.so or something12:27
Vajbthere was also dbus com.nokia.osso_chess but that didn't reveal anything12:28
bencohVajb: dbus monitor12:28
Vajbalso found few ggonf settings but that was for level settings etc12:28

KotCzarnysorry, my isp f*cked up bigtime13:42
KotCzarnymy net is not stable, missed almost every message13:42
Vajbah13:43
Vajb~closed13:43
infobotclosed is, like, http://wiki.maemo.org/Why_the_closed_packages or https://wiki.maemo.org/Fremantle_closed_packages, or http://elinux.org/N90013:43
Vajbsecond link shows that osso-graphics-game-chess has opensource alternative or something like that13:44
KotCzarnyxboard is a gui for gnuchess13:44
Vajbgonna investigate better when i get to bigger screen13:44
KotCzarnyi've used it for a long time (when i was playing online chess)13:47
*** RedW has quit IRC13:48
*** RedW has joined #maemo13:48
KotCzarnyi think it should be playable on 800x48013:49
Vajbi see13:49
Vajbactually i gave up with osso chess for quite some time and practised with my old travel chess computer and now i game back to osso.13:50
Vajbstill got beaten tho13:51
Vajbbut managed to stretch it to 46 moves13:51
Vajbpathetic, yes i know13:51
KotCzarny:)13:51
Vajbgonna practise some more weeks and make another try13:52

ceenei tried a couple that didn't work :/21:29
ceenebut i don't remember the names, sorry21:29
Sicelo:)21:41
Sicelodo you think we'll still be able to use Yappari in 2017?21:41
ceenedoesn't look like it, at least for the moment21:42
Siceloyeah21:42
ceenei was about to port yappari to use coderus' code21:42
ceenebut his is as S40 as mine21:42
L29AhS40?21:43
ceeneso i got disheartened about that as well, so for now no textsecure either21:43
SiceloL29Ah: nokia feature phone21:43
ceeneL29Ah: yappari fakes being a nokia s4021:44
ceenemy sister in law had one of them21:44
ceeneand it's pretty cool in fact21:44
ceeneit has wifi, SIP21:44
ceenepretty nice for an almost dumb phone21:45
ceeneprobably it does 90% of what 90% people use21:45
bencohceene: have you talked to coderus about that?21:46
ceenebencoh: not yet21:46
bencohwell, maybe you should :)21:46
ceenei'm quite bored of yappari and all of this, to be honest21:46
ceeneyep21:46
bencohyeah I kinda understand it21:46
ceenei had lots of ideas and objectives, but when i get down to the code... just the idea of updating current code to libwa api looks like a draining task21:48
bencohI'm afraid quite a significant amount of maemo users have been able to stick to n900 because of it, though21:48
bencohso that'd be quite sad21:48
ceeneyep21:48
bencohceene: dont sailfish have an official client?21:48
bencohare they gonna stop support for that one too?21:49
ceenethey've all been lucky that once scorpius stopped mainting yappari i took over21:49
ceeneofficial client? no, either coderus' or android's21:49
bencohindeed21:49
Sicelosailfish? i think they are in trouble like the resot of us :)21:49
bencohah21:49
bencohwhat about windows phone?21:49
ceenethey do have an official client21:50
bencohcant we just identify as one?21:50
ceenei guess, or as an android21:50
bencohyeah, that one too21:50
ceenebut i assume the protocol is gonna have big changes on them21:51
bencohmaybe21:51
ceenealso, one cool thing about s40 was that it was written on java21:51
ceeneso we could just decompile it21:51
ceeneand look at an obfuscated version of the code, which was enough to understand the protocol21:51
bencohthat should probably still be possible with the android version (?)21:52
ceeneas far as i know, the apk includes a few .so libraries21:52
ceenein which the protocol is implemented21:52
ceeneso they are not as easily looked at as the java version21:52
bencohit works on x86 as well21:53
ceeneyes, they attach .so versions for several processors21:53
bencohah21:53
ceenei guess the yowsup team will be able to continue their development21:53
ceenei think they're at least a handful of quite competent developers21:54
ceenethey implemented textsecure even before whatsapp did :)21:54
bencohif they can stay in the game "we" should be able to follow their work :)21:55
ceenei think so21:55
ceeneif only yappari had a competent developer too... :)21:55
bencohyou dont look that incompetent :p21:55
ceenebecause it's all done21:56
ceenei don't really understand c++21:56
ceenenor qt21:56
ceenei'm a pure c coder21:56
ceeneall these slots and signals just drive me mad21:56
ceeneit reminds me of when i started to learn how to code, it was on visual basic21:57
ceenenah, a passionate coder would be now more useful than a competent one21:57
ceeneor someone to finally make an open source android-apps-running-thingy21:58
ceenei don't quite get why that's so difficult to develop21:58
Sicelothere was apkenv by thp .. don't know what happened :(21:59
bencohceene: well, I guess you could write a pure C lib and find a GUI dev21:59
bencohI'm a pure C dev as well (and low-level, at that)21:59
ceeneSicelo: apkenv isn't really an android app running thingy21:59
*** sq-one has quit IRC21:59
ceenealthough, to be honest, that'd be the thing that could be used for whatsapp21:59
ceeneall it does is substitute the java parts (which you have to write) and invoke functions from a .so file22:00
ceenethat's why it runs games22:00
ceenemost games are real binaries in order to gain performance22:00
ceenebencoh: i could do so many things... :P22:00
*** vakkov has quit IRC22:01
Siceloah, i see. never could get it up and running in the first place, haha22:01
ceenebut in the end it's all very exhausting, and the benefits aren't that much clear to me now22:01
ceenewe're just buying time22:01
*** vakkov has joined #maemo22:02
ceenei was able to run world of goo22:02
ceeneit's quite fun22:02
ceeneand pretty22:03
ceeneand the soundtrack is excellent22:03
ceenemaintainer of yowsup received a cease and desis letter from whatsapp22:10
ceenedidn't seem to bother anyone22:11
ceenebut they know for sure it exists22:11
bencohwell, in Europe REing is legal for interoperability purposes22:12
ceeneyeah, i wouldn't give a damn either if they threatened me22:12
bencoheven when working around DRMs22:12
*** ced117 has quit IRC22:13
ceenebut it's reasonable to believe that once they stop supporting s40 they'll try pretty hard to stop us from continuing22:13
ceeneas they won't have to support those old devices22:13
ceenethey can do more complex things on android/iphones/windows devices22:14
*** buZz has quit IRC22:16
*** buZz has joined #maemo22:17
*** buZz is now known as Guest5664222:17
ceenehttps://github.com/davidgfnet/whatsapp-purple22:17
ceenethis is also quite active, it seems22:17
ceeneand also implements textsecure22:18
*** Guest56642 is now known as buZz22:18
ceeneor will do soon22:18
*** sleepee has quit IRC22:18
ceenemaybe it'd be good to transform yappari to a libpurple gui22:21
ceeneor see if there's libpurple support for telepathy22:22
ceenetelepathy-haze22:24
ceene Haze is a telepathy connection manager based on libpurple.22:24
ceene This allow telepathy based application to connect all protocols22:24
ceene supported by libpurple (pidgin).22:24
bencohceene: see the telegram thread22:26
bencoh(especially toward the end)22:26
ceenethere's some primitive gui?22:27
ceenethere's already a telegram libpurple for maemo22:28
ceenei think it'd be feasible to integrate that with telepathy22:28
bencohyeah, but we can't use too recent libpurple (or haze) because of glib version issues22:29
ceeneoh :(22:29
bencohexactly22:29
ceenewe should get in contact with musk and convince him to use maemo on his tesla cars22:30
ceeneso he contracts a handful of people to update all of this for us :)22:30
ceenei can't even convince people to switch to telegram because we don't have a full on client either22:31
ceeneso we really don't have a nice alternative22:31
ceenehttps://np.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/496sn3/lets_clear_up_the_confusion_regarding_storage_in/22:36
ceenethe overall storage of the device is sectioned off into many partitions (there are 42!!!)22:36
ceenemay goodness22:36

DocScrutinizer05and guess how many of those partitions are non-free23:03
*** phlixi has quit IRC23:03
DocScrutinizer05you however will learn a lot about how to build a decent free phone from studying that 42 partitions mess23:04
*** shentey has joined #maemo23:05
freemangordonby reading through that story, I am not sure those 42 are really partitions or some of them are bind mounts23:05
freemangordonor stuff like /proc /sys /sys/kernel/debugfs etc23:05
*** shentey has quit IRC23:06
freemangordonalso, it makes sense to have persistent data ( the same what is known as CAL on N900) on a separate storage23:07
DocScrutinizer05check Jolla phone, and weep23:07
freemangordonno jolla phone around ;)23:07
*** realitygaps has quit IRC23:08
*** realitygaps has joined #maemo23:08
DocScrutinizer05without checking any actual android phone, I'm pretty sure they have a complete modem OS in closed encrypted partitions, and that is started first and runs Android OS as a 'VM' in modem OS host23:09
freemangordonalso, N900 storage is not that innocent as well, onenand is divided to 6 parts, emmc to 3, do the math yourself :)23:09
freemangordon:nod:, I suspect the same23:10
freemangordonbut that still makes sense23:10
DocScrutinizer05sure, particularly for the NSA ;-)23:11
*** realitygaps has quit IRC23:11
*** realitygaps has joined #maemo23:11
*** AndrewX192 has quit IRC23:11
freemangordonwell, if you aim a closed system, all this makes lots of sense. Esp when modem and MPU are on the same silicon23:12
DocScrutinizer05from within Android yiu have as much control over what your device really does, as you have control over your PC from inside a VM23:12
freemangordon:)23:12
*** phlixi has joined #maemo23:14
ceenePartitions - No. The devices in /dev/block literally number up to mmcblk0p42. I used DiskInfo. Link me: DiskInfo23:15
DocScrutinizer05>>Android doesn't even break down your used storage properly - my used space + my free space never adds up to the total available space.<< sounds like a prety normal effect of a compressing filesystem like the ubifs we have on root partition23:20
DocScrutinizer05at least if the sum of available + used > total23:20
ceenei think the biggest problem regarding that is that they don't take into account some of the partitions, or even folders23:21
ceenesince they are not intended to be user accesible23:21
ceenethey do strange things and you can see "300MB free" and trying to install a 5MB app ends on "Insufficient disk space"23:21
