galatageI am interested in getting the battery status i.e. remaining battery life etc .. so any help ?18:00
trip0galatage, you can get it using c/c++ dbus-bindings to uPower/devicekit.power18:00
trip0galatage, netbook?18:00
trip0or handset?18:00
galatagetrip0, netbook18:00
trip0galatage, yeah, use devicekit18:01
lcukis there a direct qt api for getting this kind of info18:01
trip0lcuk, nope18:01
trip0http://meego.gitorious.org/meego-handset-ux/contextkit-meego/trees/master/battery18:02
trip0that's the contextkit provider for battery on handset18:02
trip0which uses devicekit.power18:02
Stskeepswhich reminds me we should probably make a devicekit.power plugin for bme at some point..18:02

Stskeepsi am starting to have a theory that our problem isn't so much 2 established communities, but that we're merging actually a small bunch of communities instead - like, intel internal community working on moblin, moblin 'users', the maemo development team and maemo.org, the system developers of maemo.org vs the application developers of maemo.org.. etc18:57
*** jpetersen has quit IRC18:58
DawnFosterI think they are also very different audiences - moblin was more of a kernel coder community, while Maemo has a lot of device enthusiasts18:58
Stskeepsyeah, hopefully we can all get along but some collisions may occour/have occoured18:58
*** paulliu has joined #meego18:58
DawnFosterthose 2 audiences don't necessarily come together easily18:58
GAN900Olive branches help18:58
*** kkszysiu has joined #meego19:01
Stskeepsi kind of like the CO's mission of 'The Community Office (CO) defines the strategy for collaboration tools and processes within the MeeGo project, and observes its implementation. ', - ie, being there to grease the wheels of the whole community and help others get into it19:03
*** fcocuadrado has quit IRC19:03
Stskeepsby community meaning entire project + activities around it19:03
DawnFosterand I've been trying to make suggestions for where we really need help: http://wiki.meego.com/Contributing_to_MeeGo (this page needs to be vastly simplified)19:05
DawnFosterthe twice monthly community meetings were also designed to help people find areas where they can contribute: http://wiki.meego.com/Community_Office/Meetings19:06
Stskeepsi was thinking of setting up some levels of openness, as in, a list of places with for example how deep they can contribute at this time - how (is there meetings, is there a mailing list, can i tell who's involved, where is their gitorious ..).. not as a blame sheet but more as a guide19:07
DawnFosterwe have a meeting tomorrow (hint)19:07
*** MasterMatan has quit IRC19:07
GAN900Less stop motion would be good.19:07
StskeepsDawnFoster: we often complain a lot here and you deal with us quite well even though we're unreasonable at times :).. - i got pondering the other day: what do you think is the biggest problem(s) we have at the moment? and perhaps also, what do you think are the best things that are going on in the project?19:11
StskeepsEIPI used to do interviews with various community people, could be nice to have some of those for MeeGo in general, as to help personify people instead of just their roles19:12
DawnFosteryeah, I would love to get people moving from complaining to doing :)19:12
DawnFosterbiggest issue right now is that users in the forums aren't getting answers to their questions19:12
*** andrei1089 has joined #meego19:14
*** achipa has quit IRC19:14
DawnFosterI also think that one of the more exciting areas coming up will be application development - it's critical to the success of MeeGo, and people are going to need help getting familiar with the tools.19:14
DawnFosterThis is why I'm so excited to see w00t's project: http://wiki.meego.com/DeveloperEngagement19:15
lcukbiggest issue right now for people is that you have to have uber linux skills and/or a phd to get it installed or have money to buy first a new machine, then be brave enough to wipe the main OS from it. images and kickstarts and faff and extreme specifications for a linux distribution technically not that different to ubuntu.  I am not even going into the complexity of trying the handset image.19:16
*** dailylinux has joined #meego19:16
DawnFosterright now, all of our images are developer images19:16
lcuksure, wheres the live cd for intel machines?19:16
DawnFosterthey are designed so that OEMs can take them and re-package them on a system19:16
lcukwell those OEMs are people too19:17
lcukand if they can stick a cd in a machine and show boss19:17
lcukyou just won a battle19:17
DawnFosterlcuk: my point is that end users should go the OEM route19:17
StskeepsDawnFoster: there's still a bit of ambivalence if meego's targetting users or not, especially with how it gets presented on web site and such19:17
Stskeepsthat said, i do have some forum threads i should answer on19:18
DawnFosterOEMs have tons of test machines sitting around - the problem you described is an end use issue - not an oem issue19:18
andyrossTo be fair: the OEMs want better images too.  It's new software, everyone wants it to work better than it does.19:18
lcukDawnFoster, the guy sat in his office with that machine19:18
DawnFosterstskeeps: yeah, it's a huge issue & one that I spend a lot of time talking to Imad about19:18
lcukcan just stick a cd in and see OS19:18
lcukto know to go to his boss19:18
DawnFosterthat's why we have live bootable images off a thumb drive19:18
*** carloscesa has quit IRC19:19
StskeepsDawnFoster: on the other hand, to get sufficient brand hype for the upcoming devices that are 'MeeGo' brand, something needs to be done like it has been :/19:19
GAN900Too many times people come in with an idea or a question and the answers do everything but encourage contribution19:19
GAN900I realize part of that is due to infra and processes not being in place19:19
GAN900But it's discouraging and energy sapping all the same19:20
GAN900It'd be nice to see some more effort to reach out to that positive energy and utilize it.19:20
*** fredy has quit IRC19:20
lcukDawnFoster, there are 100s of linux distributions.  the greatest majority who want to be user friendly make it simple to get tested on machines, make it simple to see things.  ive seen people literally melt by trying to go through the red tape required to get things started19:21
*** mandara has quit IRC19:22
DawnFosterGAN900: to be honest, it's really draining and discouraging for me, too. I keep trying to suggest where people can get involved, yet I see little involvement compared to the level of complaining.19:22
*** fredy has joined #meego19:25
*** vgrade_ has quit IRC19:28
*** kkszysiu has quit IRC19:31
GAN900DawnFoster, obviously there's a problem then.19:33
*** dharman has quit IRC19:33
GAN900Personally I got discouraged early on when questions and input were answered primarily with silence or sometimes with stop motion.19:34
*** dneary has quit IRC19:34
GAN900and I haven't been able to work up the energy to keep trying. :)19:34
DawnFosterThe first few months of the project were frustrating for everyone during the transition to getting the code out in the open.19:36
GAN900As far as I can tell, many (most?) of the high-profile contributors in Maemo are in a similar place.19:36
Stskeepsi think one of the problems is that we've been fighting for more involvement in platform from maemo.org site, more input taken into the development, transparency, etc.. and now we really don't have a place for that19:36
Stskeepsmaking processes, volunteering for bugsquads, or other things19:36
trip0hmm19:36
Stskeepssome of these people could make the best HR/administration in meego, to grease things and work towards solutions :P19:37
Stskeepsbut i think that it 'feels' like we're at scratch also discourages, as the problems in maemo were big in those areas and took out a lot of energy already before meego came about19:38
trip0i don't understand the problem19:38
Stskeepsi have good hopes for august, however - my personal worry is that when people pop out and say hi, noone's there to shake their hands :P19:38
trip0what's in august?19:39
Stskeepspeople return refreshed from holidays19:39
trip0ahh19:39
GAN900DawnFoster, targetting only OEMs with your images is a bit silly when there's so much advertising going on about open and getting contributors involved.19:39
trip0:P19:39
StskeepsGAN900: me and lbt discussed at some point to have Mer being a MeeGo 'OEM', which was more towards end users19:40
DawnFosterI didn't say we were only targeting OEMs. I said this was a developer image and that end users should use images from OEMs19:40
GAN900So either the images need to be friendly or the public website just needs to shut down and move everything internal19:40
DawnFosterI'd expect developers to use these images19:40
Stskeepsmy anti-reasoning was that patches into meego would probably be welcome19:40
trip0Stskeeps, +119:41
DawnFosterI would love to see people fixing things and submitting patches19:41
Stskeepsit is slowly but firmly getting there as more people see how processes work and where to go19:42
lbtand the community OBS is looking functional... it should provide a way to ease into MeeGo core development19:42
*** gxben has joined #meego19:42
Stskeepsthe interest into community OBS was really encouraging in that area, yeah19:42
Stskeepsimagine if we'd had that from the start, heh :)19:43
lbtI need the maemo guys to show more interest there19:43
trip0community obs will be the awesome19:43
trip0i need to do something with it :P19:43
lbtI didn't really want to 'launch' it on the maemo.org server19:43
*** kkszysiu has joined #meego19:43
lbtbut the OSU servers are being installed by the hardware pixies19:44
trip0:|19:44
lbtI would say we're in the hands of the hardware gods... but since they appear to lack the ability to move a server I now imagine them as tiny green pixies fluttering around the racks being ineffectual...19:44
GAN900DawnFoster, except no such thing exists right now.19:45
GAN900DawnFoster, and enthusiasm is going out the door because of it.19:46
DawnFosterGAN900: not sure what you mean it doesn't exist right now?19:46
GAN900Ubuntu is a better example to model from as far as this goes, in my opinion.19:46
GAN900DawnFoster, what OEM images?19:46
GAN900i.e., "Pay to play"? :)19:47
DawnFosterGAN900: as you know, it takes time19:47
StskeepsGAN900: if you had the shot and the role/mandate to do something in MeeGo, what would it be?19:47
DawnFosterthe OEMs get the images at the same time as the community19:47
DawnFosterLet's focus on solutions here rather than problems19:47
* lbt would like to see MeeGo 'runnable' on any laptop... even ... <shock> an AMD one19:48
lcukDawnFoster, problem: linux community typically makes use of older tech - linux itself is installed on everything.19:48
DawnFosterlbt: great, patches? :)19:48
Stskeepslbt: i think we could go a long way by making patches for NVIDIA graphics alone19:48
DawnFosterand the first version of linux only ran on 386 with AT drives19:48
lbtDawnFoster: first I have to build a build system to build my patches on....19:48
DawnFosterbecause that's what Linus owned19:48
lbtand I'm doing that :)19:48
DawnFosterit takes time to build in support for everything19:49
lcukDawnFoster, but NOW linux runs on everything - and you are based on linux19:49
Stskeepslbt: even a ubuntu like system of fetching things19:49
*** tomaw has quit IRC19:49
lbtI would like to see the community OBS build a generic X86 MeeGo19:49
w00t_lcuk: it runs on everything because people contribute to it to make it run on everything19:49
w00t_that didn't just happen out of thin air19:49
lcukw00t_, it already did happen19:49
GAN900Stskeeps, given that no devices exist and given that there's no focus on users or enthusiasts, I don't think there's a role I could fill.19:49
*** jpetersen has joined #meego19:49

ScottishDuckWhen you expand the available platforms, you add drivers, compatibility layers19:50

Stskeepslbt: or radeon19:50
lcukScottishDuck, ok, so stick with intel only19:50
lcukintel chipsets intel cpus19:50

lbtyou'd rather buy nvidia?19:51
ScottishDuckYes19:51
w00t_Stskeeps: lbt: both should be possible, noveau is supposed to be more usable nowdays19:51
* lbt stabs ScottishDuck with a blob19:51
ScottishDucknouveau is great in 2D, getting there in 3D19:51
GAN900Stskeeps, given the focus of maemo.org, yes.19:51

Stskeepsas a developer community? :P19:51
GAN900Stskeeps, my roles don't have a lot to do with sourciness, I think.19:51
lcukwhere did those patches go?19:52
*** tomaw has joined #meego19:53
w00t_GAN900: that's a cryptic answer19:53
GAN900Stskeeps, as community facilitator? Sometimes bugzilla filer/triager/admin, and documentation "guy"?19:54

GAN900w00t_, more or less.19:55
*** timeless_mbp has joined #meego19:56
GAN900But bugzilla doesn't appear to need my assistance, the docs are developer-oriented and not of much interest to me and community facilitation isn't enthusiat oriented and doesn't seem particularly interesed in my input.19:57
lcukGAN900, you are official keyboard tester19:57
lcukyou can type faster than anyone i know on a mobile device and did more to convince people they were usable for "normal" tasks than anyone i remember19:58
lcukyou got a bit more grumpy recently ;) but dude you were using nokias as full time things when lots were still poking randomly19:58
StskeepsGAN900: i'd say bugzilla still needs assistance, especially the new QA structure being set up19:59
*** Armi^ has joined #meego20:00

AstralStormI can't count in chinese currency23:08
gert_Something in the SmartQ V7 price range would be great. Ie. < $ 500-ish23:09
AstralStormNokia n90023:09
AstralStorm;p23:09
gert_Screen is too small. :P23:09
arjanconnect it to your tv23:09
AstralStormyou didn't say "large tablet"23:09
gert_And there is no way that is < 20023:09
gert_sorry23:09
gert_7"-ish23:09
AstralStormit is. in Poland, it costs 2000 PLN which is about 500$ right now23:09
e-yesbtw, http://www.google.ru/search?hl=ru&newwindow=1&client=firefox-a&hs=pec&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&q=500+yuan+to+USD&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=23:10
AstralStorm500 yuan is nothing23:10
e-yesfor instance:)23:10
AstralStormstill, most of those aren't really exportable23:10
AstralStormthanks to chinese UI23:10

gert_After browsing some forums for SmartQ products, I am a bit surprised there are not more tablets with a decent community. The ekem tablets seems to be getting some, but they are not cabable of running anything more than Android (and barely that)23:12
AstralStormtablets are useless really23:12
AstralStormthey aren't pocketable23:12
AstralStormand aren't fit for real work23:12
AstralStormwhat *is* useful is notebooks with a touchscreen23:13
gert_They are bag-able. And they have a biger screen than my cellphone.23:14

AstralStormwhich is what a laptop is just as good at23:15
ml-mobileelectronic scrabble boards!23:15
AstralStormso what you actually want is a nice light laptop23:15
gert_\o/23:15
gert_A laptop with a screen under 12" is IMHO useless for laptop-use23:16
AstralStormpreferably with a touchscreen, but those are expensive23:16
AstralStormnope23:16
gert_I have a 13,3 for laptop use23:16
AstralStormyou can connect it to an external monitor23:16
gert_Yes, in my opnion they are ;P23:16
AstralStormand keyboard23:16
*** bpeel_away is now known as bpeel23:16
gert_At uni? nay23:16
AstralStormsure yeah23:16
AstralStormstill, they do work as laptops23:16
AstralStormfits 720p23:16
AstralStormthe main problem is the keyboard and not the screen23:17
gert_true23:17
AstralStormthere are a few with a good keyboard though, let me see...23:17
gert_But I *have* a laptop. :P23:17
AstralStormAsus Eee PC 1201T for one23:18
AstralStormthe beefy version23:18
AstralStorm:)23:18
gert_Wel, again, I have a laptop23:18
AstralStormand you really want a tablet that's not useful for anything really? :)23:19
gert_And am currently looking for a tablet to have fun with23:19
AstralStormhmmph23:19
AstralStormget a wacom tablet instead23:19
gert_u really don't like tablets, do u?23:19

gert_If anyone here are mods or have on ready at their disposal under the bed, there is a spam topic in the meego forums that should be deleted.23:25
gert_here: http://forum.meego.com/showthread.php?t=76123:25
AstralStormflash is one big performance issue23:25
AstralStormStskeeps: do you know if it's possible to shoehorn meego onto an android phone?23:26
AstralStorm(rooted one)23:26
AstralStormwhich moron wrote that about the touchscreen on this non-MID?23:27
AstralStormit's normal resistive23:27
AstralStormjust a good one23:27
gert_AS: it should be23:27
AstralStormthe phone in question is SE Xperia X1023:27
gert_People have run a crimped version of Ubuntu ord Debian on different handsets23:28
gert_hiw is the dev community for it?23:28
AstralStorm?23:28
AstralStormit's android23:28
AstralStormthe guys have rooted the phone and bumped it to android 2.1 by hand23:28
slaineStskeeps: turned out to be the cpu freq modes where sub-optimal23:29
AstralStormand that works fine btw, although is a bit bland23:29
AstralStormwithout all the nice vendor additions23:29
AstralStormso I bet I could put meego onto it and it should Just Work™23:30
*** pipacs has left #meego23:30
slaineAstralStorm: the issues wasn't so much that flash performance sucks, that's a given. the problem was that it sucked more on my customized fedora spin versus a stock fedora spin23:30
gert_Well, if they have made an asop rom, I guess they have some idea of what kernel tewaks, drivers and modules are needed for the hardware to function properly23:30
AstralStormgert_: ... none whatsoever supposedly23:31
AstralStormat least from the android kernel23:31
*** lcukn900 has joined #meego23:31
gert_But that probably differs quit a bit from the current Meego one.23:31
AstralStormprobably not in any important way23:31
AstralStormso I could just use the original kernel23:32
AstralStormthe original is android 1.6 = 2.6.28 I think23:32
gert_The easiest would of course be to try to run Meego on top of the kernel already in the phone23:32
AstralStormyup23:32
AstralStormI'll have a closer look23:32
AstralStormonce I actually get the phone for more than a testdrive23:33
*** luck has quit IRC23:33
gert_Damn, now I want to have a go with my desire23:33
AstralStormhehe23:33
gert_But i shall not. Then I need to buy a new everyday phone.23:33
AstralStormdesire would be great if not for the sucky camera, worse sound, battery and also really evil behavior in sunlight23:33
AstralStormI'm not sure it's patterned amoled too, if it is, that is automatic fail23:34
gert_What do you have against the sound?23:34
gert_it is23:34
*** kW_ has quit IRC23:34
AstralStormthat it's slightly worse than X10's, nothing really major23:34
AstralStormoh, patterned amoled = evil23:34
gert_if by patterned you meen there are fewer blue and red subpixels or whatever colors they were23:34
AstralStormyes23:34
AstralStormit's 2/3 the resolution23:34
AstralStormno marketing will make me think anything else23:34
gert_It's still nice if you don't look for it23:35
gert_:P23:35
AstralStormit is... so-so IMO23:35
AstralStormit's noticeable with smaller font23:35
AstralStormbut the sunlight unreadability is the real killer :(23:35
gert_Ah, yes, probably. But I donæt read much on it (ie. ebooks and such). The screen is a bit small for my taste for that23:35
AstralStormoh no, it's bad enough to be unusable even for the large clock in sunlight23:36
gert_Haha, i disagree. But then again, I own one, so i must23:36
gert_I think the sound is quite nice, actuelly, If only HTC could, for ONCE, lear to SHIELD the f**ing audio curcuitry.23:36
gert_You canæt really use anything low impedance with it23:37
gert_It's like a $20 unbranded mp3 player in that department23:37
AstralStormthat has nothing to do with shielding23:38
AstralStormand everything with poor impendance match23:38
AstralStormmost players can't handle even 32 Ohm23:38
*** smyows has quit IRC23:38
AstralStormthey get noisy. that's why I have my special 100 Ohm adapter ;p23:38
gert_My problem is they have whitenoise23:39
AstralStormthey don't.23:39
gert_with LOW-impedance in-ears23:39
AstralStormthat's bad impendance match23:39
AstralStormadd a resistor and you're fine23:39
*** kW_ has joined #meego23:39
AstralStormI recommend 80 or 100 ohm23:39
gert_Hm, I always heard that was a shielding issue23:39
AstralStormno, more like current problems23:40
*** baraujo has quit IRC23:40
AstralStormlow impedance, same voltage = more current needed23:40
AstralStormor the output stage of the amp gets overdriven23:40
gert_that sounds backwards to me, although I'm sure you are correct. :P23:40
AstralStormyes, it is backwards, but that's how it turns out with any non-specialist amps23:41
gert_I'd think lower impedance meant it required less current23:41
gert_I have a remote on the way that hopefully will add some resiistance.23:41
*** heliocastro has quit IRC23:41
AstralStormnot really enough23:41
AstralStormuse a so-called "airline adapter"23:42
AstralStormwhich is a 100 Ohm resistor in disguise23:42
gert_Funny think is I have beein thinking about trying adding resistance because it sound good with my headset. But I thought that was beacause the noise were to quiet to be "picked up" by heaqvuer sets23:42
AstralStormyou can also drive it out of a typical speaker output then :)23:42
AstralStormlike, a laptop one23:42
gert_I thought airline adapter was that funny thing with two monoprongs23:43
AstralStormnot this one23:43
AstralStormairlines don't use those anymore23:43
AstralStormmaybe they do in US or something ;)23:43
AstralStormit's a normal minijack, just adds impedance23:44
aukegert_: that forum post was nuked.23:44
gert_TAP and Lufthansa still does. too. :P23:44
aukegert_: thanks for reporting23:44
gert_good23:44
aukegert_: next time, ping Dawn or Quim (qgil)23:45
AstralStormbtw, even excellent Firepod headphone amp has some noise at 32 Ohm23:45
gert_It deserved it. It dissapointed me. Cause that's the sort of tablet I want Meego on23:45
gert_will do23:45
AstralStormand louder volume23:45
AstralStormand that one is somewhat 120 dB SNR in the normal case23:45

AstralStormw/e23:47
AstralStormso feel free to solder your own23:47
gert_Thanks for the impedance hint. :)23:47
gert_One less thing to be irritated about23:48
AstralStormwhat I'm driving is Sennheiser IE7 which is 32 Ohm23:49
AstralStormmost headphone outputs are designed to allow a wide range of headphones23:49
AstralStormmost of which fall around 120 Ohm23:49
AstralStormthey really should start adding a low impedance mode23:49
*** lizardo has quit IRC23:50
AstralStormof course... price :)23:50
AstralStormI know only about one mp3 player that has such a mode23:50
gert_It has never been a problem with any of the dedicated mp3 players I have had23:50
gert_althought they are few. :P23:50
AstralStormthey're not as noisy, but it's still detectable23:51
AstralStormmost of those are about 80 dB noise23:51
AstralStormadd the right impedance match and they go ~16 bit23:51
AstralStormthat is, 90 dB23:51

gert_patents are evil.23:58
AstralStormno, patents are nice, if not overused23:58
gert_Yeah, I have heard some have showed up. Will have to try a few soon.23:58
AstralStormthey're a bit too long23:58
AstralStorm:)23:58
gert_yeah but as only incompetent idiots seem to work at US patent offices, they are evil23:58
AstralStormyup23:58
AstralStormthey'll grant a patent for farting if presented in a nice form23:59
gert_or anything faintly related to techonolgy, of which they understand not nealy as much as an average mouldy teabag23:59
