IRC log of #maemo-ssu for Saturday, 2012-09-29

DocScrutinizer05WAKE UP DREAMERS!!!00:04
DocScrutinizer05NOMINATE YOURSELVES FOR COUNCIL/BOARD ELECTIONS!00:04
DocScrutinizer053h left to do so00:04
DocScrutinizer05(I heard)00:05
DocScrutinizer05maemo in its current form will just cease to exist 2012-12-31 if we don't find enough candadates for building up new organisational entities00:06
DocScrutinizer05(since I know Nokia, I'd bet it will cease to exist 2012-12-20)00:07
DocScrutinizer05and probably will expose quite some annoying special behaviour weeks or even months before that00:08
Skrywhat would the duties be?00:09
*** nox- has joined #maemo-ssu00:12
*** int_ua has joined #maemo-ssu00:16
*** fredrinLap has joined #maemo-ssu00:18
DocScrutinizer05serve community with all that can't be done in a distributed chaotic FOSS project, like organize events, care about infra admin and finance, whatnot else00:19
DocScrutinizer05report on that, communicate, communicate, communicate, communicate, communicate,00:20
DocScrutinizer05take all the shit that derailed community mambers with no clue about what council can/not do will pourr over you00:21
DocScrutinizer05members00:21
DocScrutinizer05and by "events" I mean really all kinds of events, from IRC meeetings to elections to foundation of new entities to anual congress00:23
*** fredrinLap has quit IRC00:24
* ShadowJK doesnt read tmo anymore, only vaguely reads mailing lists, and is apparently missing a vital one, and has missed almost everything about foundation and stuff00:33
DocScrutinizer05short story: server rental etc needs a legal entity00:34
DocScrutinizer05also ADMIN-C does00:34
DocScrutinizer05aka, maemo.org domain, which now is owned by Nokia but hopefully will change soon00:35
DocScrutinizer05taking donations needs legal entity too, it seems00:36
DocScrutinizer05thus: board/foundation00:36
*** Pali has quit IRC00:38
Skrysure made it sound like a lot of fun00:40
*** fredrinLap has joined #maemo-ssu00:41
*** int_ua has quit IRC00:43
DocScrutinizer05nobody who thinks council is any fun should be allowed to do the job00:46
DocScrutinizer05last one who did got kicked by his co-councilors00:46
DocScrutinizer05since he thought now he's king of the world00:47
Woody14619Shhh!!! Quiet!  I hear if you say his name 3 times he'll appear.  Or at least read what you've said.00:50

keriofreemangordon: btw, what's the status of hardfp in cssu-thumb?21:38
freemangordonno hardfp21:38
kerio:c21:39
keriowhat would it take to add hardfp?21:39
freemangordona new kernel, libc and full recompilation :D21:39
keriocool21:40
keriodo it21:40
freemangordonyeah, I was about to start21:40
kerioreally? :o21:40
freemangordonno21:40
kerioaww :c21:41
keriofreemangordon: would binary stuff work as it is?21:41
freemangordonand new kernel does not mean some KP with patches21:41
freemangordon;)21:41
freemangordonthough kernel might not be needed21:41
freemangordononly glibc recompiled for hardfp and all userland recompiled with hardfp21:42
keriois it a different architecture altogether?21:42
freemangordonabi is different21:42
*** M13 has joined #maemo-ssu21:42
kerioso... yes?21:42
freemangordonyes21:43
keriocool21:43
keriohypothetically, how would you run nokia binaries?21:43
kerioqemu?21:43
freemangordonon the device :D21:44
freemangordonaah, you mean hardfp21:44
kerioi said how, not where21:44
kerioyeah21:44
freemangordonchroot on the device21:44
keriooh, so it's somewhat compatible21:45
kerioi see21:45
freemangordonas it is not really a different architecture21:45
freemangordondifference between softfp and hardfp is calling convention21:45
freemangordonsoftfp uses integer regs to pass floating point parameters21:46
freemangordonhardfp uses FPU regs21:46
DocScrutinizer05difference is glibc aiui21:49
DocScrutinizer05so make all your hardfp stuff link against a new freaky glibc instead of the original one and you're probably fine21:49
freemangordonwell, AFAIK you can't simply do that, as all other stuff (libs) should be hardfp too21:50
DocScrutinizer05I.E. statically linked to glibc-hardfp  would already solve all problems ;-)  [except the problem with size this will need]21:51
DocScrutinizer05hmm yeah21:51
DocScrutinizer05good point21:51
freemangordonit is not only glibc, but everything linked against it :D21:51
DocScrutinizer05sure, that's what I said21:51
DocScrutinizer05statically linked *to* glibc-hardfp21:51
DocScrutinizer05but that would cause other libs use glibc-hardfp too, while those other libs maybe are still assuming standard glibc21:52
freemangordonno, you need to link statically to all libs your cool application uses. and they should be hardfp as well21:52
DocScrutinizer05yes, exactly what I just said21:53
freemangordonok21:53
kerioby the way, is XIP feasible?21:53
keriohell, is it even doable, considering ubifs does compression?21:53
*** arcean has quit IRC21:54
*** arcean has joined #maemo-ssu21:54
DocScrutinizer05what's XIP?21:56
kerioexecute-in-place21:57
freemangordonsounds cool. and what it does?21:57
keriohttp://elinux.org/Kernel_XIP - "In general, time savings of about .5 seconds have been observed."21:59
kerioZOMG21:59
kerioA FULL HALF SECOND21:59
kerioanyway, you need uncompressed stuff22:00
keriofreemangordon: run stuff directly from a storage device22:01
keriowithout copying it in ram first22:01
freemangordonyeah, i read it22:01
DocScrutinizer05freemangordon: it means CPU runs program text off storage directly, rather than load it to RAM and execute from there22:43
DocScrutinizer05big difference between NAND and NOR flash for booting22:44
DocScrutinizer05NOR can do XIP, NAND can't, afaik22:44

kerioDocScrutinizer05: why is that?23:10
*** fw190 has quit IRC23:18
*** fw190 has joined #maemo-ssu23:24
DocScrutinizer51fw190: pong23:39
fw190howdy23:39
DocScrutinizer51kerio: somesth about addressing23:39
fw190I'm trying to give LXDE a shot23:40
fw190but don't know hwich one to choose from http://software.opensuse.org/search?q=LXDE&baseproject=openSUSE%3A12.2&exclude_debug=true23:40
fw190any suggestions23:41
fw190I did  zypper install lxde-common23:43
fw190but when I pick it up wle boot nothing happens23:43
fw190blinks a fewa times and I get back to the password area23:43
DocScrutinizer05fw190: yes, I suggest you open yast, click on "insatll/remove software", enter lxde to search, and install lxdm or something like that23:44
DocScrutinizer05ooh, you need to check "description"23:45
fw190there are a few meta packages23:46
fw190and a bunch of other ones23:46
DocScrutinizer05yeah, under "pkg-groups", "windows managers, others" also no LXDE, but a lot of other wm23:49
*** arcean has quit IRC23:49
fw190this is strange23:50
DocScrutinizer05sorry I have no idea who's packaging this LXDE and what's supposed to be in that metapackage23:50
fw190there is gnome, xgce kde but no lxde23:50
fw190ah23:50
fw190ok23:50
fw190will try to pester google for it23:50
DocScrutinizer05I'd have thought if you install LXDM (display manager) it will pull in all other needed stuff as dependency23:50
DocScrutinizer05lxsession, lxde-common, dunno23:54
DocScrutinizer05just install them all in yast23:54
DocScrutinizer05and see what that gives you23:54
fw190ok23:54
*** fw190 has quit IRC23:57
DocScrutinizer05just don't forget to check upper four checkboxes under searchstring entry23:57
DocScrutinizer05btw lxde-patterns-opensuse pulled in quite a number of other stuff23:57
DocScrutinizer05patterns-opensuse-lxde actaully23:58
merlin1991bah where did my mea fw image go23:59
