* lardman wonders how many man-lives are wasted trying to work out Debian packaging08:41
nibblerlardman: hopefully less than spent in rpm-hell, trying to solve dependencies. But i'm not too optimistic on that.08:45
lardman:)08:45
lardmanBy the time I package something up I feel I have a reasonable understanding, but I need to do that so infrequently that my understanding erodes away in the meantime08:46
nibblerfeels weird though to finally have the possibility to apt-get update ; apt-get upgrade on a phone and at the same time contemplate dropping ubuntu for fedora on the workstation :-)08:46
nibblerlardman: learning to document things for yourself - the hard way. i know that problem very well :-/08:47

macmaNJaffa: what would happen if you had been normal speed09:34
macmaNnewer fw would already be available?09:35
lardmanhmm, I wonder why Imagemagick is available in the Nokia repo, but lacks any header files09:40
lardmanhttp://harmattan-dev.nokia.com/pool/harmattan-beta/free/i/imagemagick/09:40
* lardman wonders if he should skip using magick and just read the data himself09:41
ieatlinthas anyone managed to get the wifi hotspot app to work?09:42
*** aleksander_m has joined #harmattan09:42
ieatlinti get "kernel: [18517.504394] wl1271: ERROR Adhoc not supported on this device." in the syslog09:42
lardmanI didn't realise there was one09:43
* lardman digs out phone09:43
ieatlintin beta2, there's an app preloaded labeled "Wi-Fi Hotspot"09:43
lardmanah yes, I see it now09:44
macmaN09:45     quimgil>[09:44:11] 14 RT @santtuahonen: New Qt SDK available for N9 developers under http://t.co/PfAnkIDo <developer.nokia.com/info/sw.nokia.…> This puts the SDK (and N950) on par with N9 sales release. #Qt #N9 #N95009:45
macmaNhmmm.09:45
lardmanI wonder if that will auto update09:46
ieatlinti think he means the sdk, not the fw on the n95009:47
macmaNyeah i know. just that qtc 1.1.3 was just recently released.09:47
lardmanyeah I meant the SDK too, whether the update tool will pull that stuff in09:48
macmaNok yeah SDKMaintenanceTool finds a whole bunch of new stuffs09:50
* lardman marvels at the naming convention used in the imagemagick packaging09:50
ieatlintah, i see -- "MeeGo 1.2 Harmattan API" "Installed Version 1.2011-22-6" "New Version 10.2011-34-1"09:50
lardmanmacmaN: drat, wish I'd not updated it yesterday now09:50
lardmanday before even09:50
lardmandoh!09:50
macmaNwow, ok yes, indeed, SDK now includes 34-2 fw emulators :> didnt even notice that before09:51
macmaNugh its gonna be ugly raping this hotel wifi09:51
lardmanlibmagic9-dev goes with libmagic10, interesting09:51
macmaNdownloading a gig of sdk09:51

xarcassmacmaN: what do you mean "34-2 fw emulators"? QEMU?10:00
macmaNi dont remember the exact contents of the update window, you dont have access to the maintenance tool right now?10:02
macmaNi thought it did say harmattan emulator 34-210:02
xarcassit's simple: if it's QEMU again, i'm not interested, but if I could use QtSimulator for N9 development I would be very happy10:07
lardmanone nappy change a cup of coffee and a cup of tea later and imagemagick is still compiling...10:07
lardmanah, running tests, no wonder it's taking an age10:08
* ajalkane cries tears of happiness. Babies give life a meaning while waiting compiles to finish.10:09
lardmannot so sure changing nappies is preferable to watching compilation, or indeed grass grow/paint dry etc., though it does share some pungent features with the last of those10:10
ajalkaneOn the other hand they're quite a nuisance when trying to code10:10
lardmanyeah10:11
lardmanI got up stupidly early for some reason, so have had a few hours before wife + baby woke up10:11
*** flimmer has joined #harmattan10:12
ajalkaneNowadays I get early up to code, or wake up for few hours in middle of night to get anythin done :)10:12

lardmanlol10:15
hiemanshuTizen means 'Two Asses' in Lebanese10:15
hiemanshuso its fine ajalkane10:15
lardmanwell at least Samsung are joining, as they make some nice hw10:15
lardmanhiemanshu: ah yes, I remember Mohammad mentioning that yesterday10:15
ajalkaneTwo asses, intel and samsung? They chose weird symbolism10:15
hiemanshuyeah10:16
ieatlinti'm pretty meh about it, but i somehow think samsung will actually get a device out the door10:23
ieatlintwhich puts it ahead of meego10:23
ajalkanethey might. But will it attract users and devs is a different thing.10:24
TSCHAKeeei don't think anyone in charge10:24
TSCHAKeeehas learned a fucking thing.10:24
TSCHAKeeeit's simply: try #310:24
ieatlintif they think they're going to kill android or the ipad, the no, they'll die10:24
StskeepsTSCHAKeee: so, you're interested in a nice linux qt stack?10:24
Stskeeps:P10:24
ieatlintif they want to be the bada of the tablet world, then they've got a real chance10:25
TSCHAKeeestskeeps: I'm burned out.10:25
*** slonopotamus has quit IRC10:25
StskeepsTSCHAKeee: aren't we all10:25
*** andre__ has joined #harmattan10:25
ieatlintwell, i understand what intel is doing anyway10:26
ieatlintsamsung, i don't get10:26
*** mece has joined #harmattan10:26
ieatlintbut maybe motorola was a factor10:26
TSCHAKeeeit's basically for me, the message is very clear, you have three choices Go To Android, Go to iOS, or kiss any hope of your creations getting to anyone goodbye. with a gun pointed to my head.10:26
meceieatlint, a factor wherE?10:26
meceTSCHAKeee, a whaa?10:27
ieatlintmece: in samsung joining with intel10:27
meceieatlint, I think it's just intel being desperate10:27
ieatlintTSCHAKeee: there's more to it than that10:27
TSCHAKeeemece: seriously? you're going to pretend there's actually a choice?10:27
ieatlintwindows phone, for instance10:27
TSCHAKeeethere isn't.10:27
ieatlintbut devs are attracted not only by users, but by returns10:28
meceTSCHAKeee, well now there's meltemi too.10:28
ieatlintand android's marketplace has notorious issues with apps that cost even $1 being shunned10:28
ajalkaneieatlint: tizen domain was registered before google motorola10:28
TSCHAKeeeit is very evident that open source communities are basically being viewed as everything from unpaid volunteer labour, to something akin to kids being used as pawns by divorced parents.10:29
TSCHAKeeevery dramatic conclusions, but think about it, seriously.10:29
ieatlintajalkane: not sure what to say about that, just checked when it was10:29
ieatlintjune 23..10:29
meceTSCHAKeee, if that thing is what I think it is, things could be pretty good for Qt devs10:29
ieatlintall i can say, is that intel made the decision well after that10:29
TSCHAKeeeI am absolutely furious that people like DawnFoster knew about this last minute coupling with Tizen10:29
TSCHAKeeeand yet are playing it off like a parent who wants the kids to come with them in the divorce.10:30
ieatlintTSCHAKeee: we're all being played, don't be hard on dawn10:30
TSCHAKeeewith no indication that things were wrong in the first place.. you know..like what happened a year ago.10:30

ajalkaneI'm staying with harmattan. Gots me n950, will gots me N9. Gonna die that way.10:31
ieatlintintel swung the axe 6 months after nokia, but we all knew it was coming10:31
ieatlintand after they did it, they promised the world, that everything we wanted out of meego would still be there10:31
meceajalkane, ditto10:32
* xarcass stays with iphone for money and with harmattan for fun10:33
TSCHAKeeeieatlint: every single time, i have backed an open platform, it has gone nowhere... this leads me to believe that I have very poor decision making skills...10:33
ieatlintwe're you with openmoko too? :P10:33
TSCHAKeeeI'm just....10:33
TSCHAKeeeyes.10:33
TSCHAKeeeI have a neo1973, and a gta0210:33
ieatlintyeah, i had two gta02s..10:33
ieatlintstill have one10:33
ieatlinti use the carrying case still :)10:33
TSCHAKeeemany years later, and they still don't work very well.10:33
macmaNieatlint: got any pointers for the android market study youre referring to?10:33
ieatlintmacmaN: admittedly anecdotal10:34
TSCHAKeeeieatlint: the greedy fucks of this world will not allow an open platform.10:34
TSCHAKeeeand even google, has created the world's largest honey pot with Android10:34
ieatlintbut on that same point, i'll also state that apple was at one point looking into meego, and discussing adopting parts of it, prior to nokia's announcement10:34
TSCHAKeeeopen..yes...but the door only swings in one direction.10:34
TSCHAKeeeieatlint: why? it's not in Apple's best interest.10:35
TSCHAKeeeApple's whole business model is predicated on "all roads lead to Apple."10:35
ieatlintnah, just making a joke about not having figures to back up my claim of poor returns in the android marketplace10:36
macmaNajalkane: im with you on that. i seriously doubt these androidz and other toys can do much of what i need and wont be able to do on harmattan.10:36
*** dm8tbr sets mode: -q djszapi!*@*10:36

ieatlinti tease my friends with android with the features of harmattan, my friends tease me with the fact they can reliably make phone calls and do wifi hotspots, or flash10:36
ieatlintwe're all losers :)10:37
macmaNieatlint: ok. we have a galaxy tab in the house as well for the female, so i'm kinda interested in all sorts of views on this10:37
TSCHAKeeeand the iphone users are blissfully ignorant of all of it10:37
meceieatlint, you can't reliably make calls and use wifi?10:37
mece...hotspot10:37
macmaNi havent had a call problem yet10:37
* TSCHAKeee has been able to.10:37
meceI have no problems with either of those.10:37
ieatlintthe new firmware fixed the calling issues10:37
TSCHAKeeeieatlint: disappearing dialer UI while making a call?10:38
macmaNdidnt have an issue on 22-6. granted, i call very little.10:38
ieatlintalthough i do still take issue with part of the contacts system... i get a call, and it tells me the number is found in two contacts, but not which two10:38
macmaNphone call is my absolutely least favorite way to do anything.10:38
ieatlintyeah, the smartphone is great because we get to maker fewer calls10:38
ieatlint#1 way to market to geeks: remove direct human interaction10:38
ieatlinti'm far more likely to order a pizza from you if i can do it online, for instance10:39
macmaNgreat. had to interrupt SDK Maintenance operation and now the whole update thing is borked10:39
macmaNcould not fetch a valid version of updates.xml10:40
macmaNi guess complete uninstall time10:40
ieatlintmacmaN: and my anecdotal claim about poor returns on apps for sale in the android marketplace has been told to me by different people i trust on a few occasions10:41
ieatlintbut i don't have a study to quote... could google for one, perhaps10:41
*** zz_gri is now known as gri10:41
ieatlintit all makes sense though, which is why i believe it in part10:41
RST38hieatlint <== 100% correct10:41
ieatlintandroid phones target lower income people10:42
TSCHAKeeethe mobile world is headed for a crash.10:42
RST38hieatlint: not really10:42
ieatlintwho have less disposable income, and often pre-paid phone plans10:42
ieatlintRST38h: not just lower income10:42
RST38hieatlint: it targets normal, non technical people10:42
ieatlintbut most of the advertisements i see are how you can get an android phone on the cheap carriers for $5010:42
RST38hieatlint: who, on the average, have attention spans of a fruit fly10:42
RST38hieatlint: which is nicely illustrated by Marketplace stats vs stats for the same apps for other platforms10:43
ieatlinti was most recently told the poor returns claim by a MS rep actually10:44
RST38hdoes not matter who it is10:44
ieatlintwhile he at the same point spoke of MS's store imposing minimum app prices to ensure "you developers are able to make money" (ie, they get their 30%)10:44
TSCHAKeeei've tried to get my fiancee, to use my N95010:44
RST38hsame story for 99.999% of Android devs10:44

* RST38h wonders what happens to Steve Jobs' body when he dies10:46
ieatlintmy gf is on a nexus s, and just gets awkward about the n9/n950 because she knows i'm depressed at its fate10:46
griMost people I know who have a Iphone say "never again"10:46
ieatlintso, success!10:46
ajalkaneCremation, I think10:46
RST38hThe guy is such a perfectionist, I am sure he hates the idea of his corpse rotting in the ground or burning in an oven10:47
ieatlintif he's not there for the iphone 5 launch, we know he won't survive to 201210:47
* RST38h votes for plastification inside a huge plexiglass cube at the center of Apple HQ10:47
ieatlintif he is, it's still a good bet he won't make it10:47
hiemanshuRST38h: he'll cut em into parts and make, iCorpse :)10:47
ieatlintRST38h: that would be perfect10:47

ajalkaneApple should turn into Scientology like religion.10:48
RST38hajalkane: it still hasn't?10:48
ieatlintyeah, it's there already10:49
* TSCHAKeee looks at this brave new world of F/OSS that has developed over the last 30 years, and realize, well, it's just like the old world. Corrupt.10:49
ieatlintthey just sell electronics instead of books/seminars10:49
ajalkaneRST38h: not yet, they need Jobs to be dead like the revered L. Ron Hubbard.10:49
RST38hProbably won't survive longer than 5 years after Jobs' death10:50
ajalkaneIt will if they plan the official religion status thing carefully, like Scientology did.10:50
ieatlintheh, it'll last, but i bet we see changes in next year's products10:50
TSCHAKeeelife sucks, i'm going to eat a bullet and go to bed.10:50
ieatlintTSCHAKeee: you might want to rethink the order of those actions10:51
meceI thought Jobs was more the Xenu type, if we're using scientology analogies.10:51
ieatlintone's a lot harder to do after the other10:51
meceGalactic overlord :)10:51
ajalkaneTake your N950 and N9 and other artifacts to bed. Like I do every night. I don't want to die without them.10:51
ieatlintmece: actually he's more hippie type10:51
meceLOL10:51
ieatlintmaybe he's so sick because the homeopathic drugs didn't work right10:51

* jreznik thinks he has a big spaceship and then he will take all his true believers into the apple shape planet he's building in galaxy far away :)10:53
ieatlintcome now, it's google that has reign over moffet field (a former navy airbase now mostly held by nasa)10:55
RST38hGoogle will gladly catapult all true Apple believers into space10:55
RST38hAs a charity even10:55
ieatlintthat would require a lot of catapults10:56
ajalkaneHow much would earth's orbit change if we were to catapult all Apple believers into space from the same launch location at the same time?10:59
ajalkaneJust an interesting thing to ponder at night when waiting for sleep.11:00

Venemo_N9501. they abandoned their own linux-based os. then they abandoned the linux-based os they made with intel. then they announced that they're done with linux-based oses. and now they're once again, making a linux-based os from scratch.12:33

macmaNsomebody higher in the hierarchy must be smoking something that creates hyperactivity.12:34
djszapiI think it is very good because Qt keeps going this way, remains important for them not to drop Oslo yet.12:34
Venemo_N950djszapi, good excuse, but it's still nuts. how much code will they reuse from Maemo?12:34
Venemo_N950macmaN, yeah, I had the same reaction12:35

djszapiVenemo_N950: why is it bad ? I think it is actually very good. Smaller project, not like a megaproject that failed previously with more tries, and they still have the very long linux culture to make something work12:35

* SpeedEvil doesn't.12:43
SpeedEvilI just remember 'ongoing disuptive technology12:43
DocScrutinizersorry, my take on "they still have the very long linux culture to make something work" is Nokia never understood the concept of FOSS, never been playing nice, now completely fsckd it with Aegis (this time I mean Aegis and not the policy), and they for shure were damn better off using some BSD licenced stuff to abuse and commercialize - it would relieve the pain from them to publish sources and write braindamaged userland daemons for12:43
DocScrutinizerthings that belong into kernel but they want to keep it closed - and it relieves community from constantly getting abused by them for cheap betatesters and coding monkeys that don't get anything back12:43

SpeedEvilIt's a framework that logs every app launch, signal change, ...13:36
DocScrutinizerSTILL???13:36
SpeedEvilIt's possible the person in charge of the program got canned, and nobodies turned it off.13:36
DocScrutinizernow how many tickets are open against that spyware?13:36
SpeedEvilBut - hey - free money.13:36
SpeedEvilDocScrutinizer: It's not spyware if it actually tells you what it's doing.13:36
DocScrutinizerdang13:36
SpeedEvilAlso - the bug I reported against it got fixed within a week.13:37
DocScrutinizereven more likely there should be tickets open against it?13:37
grin950's can be tracked by the ovi notification service :)13:37
DocScrutinizerDUH13:37
DocScrutinizerfriggin shit13:37
griatleast I can see how many people have my app running13:37
SpeedEvil(on boot, it would change permissions on /home - breaking ssh13:37
DocScrutinizernow we know how to make bugs get fixed13:37
DocScrutinizersimply link them to Nokia spyware somehow13:37
khertanuh ?13:38
khertanwhat is this spyware ?13:38
khertanwhere is the binary ?13:38
SpeedEvilkhertan: It's part of a panel I was asked to be part of.13:38
khertanis it protected by aegis ?13:38
SpeedEvilkhertan: Shortly after n900 launch.13:38
DocScrutinizerhahaha fremantle13:38
* DocScrutinizer dances and sings "no aegis on fremantle"13:39
khertanas we are on harmattan i think it was a harmattan thing13:39
khertan:)13:39
SpeedEvilAmusingly - integrating all of the rebates and bonuses from participating, my n900 has I think cost me about 80 pounds.13:39

SpeedEvilTrue13:42
griRMA?13:42
DocScrutinizerand Nokia has damn precise numbers about that, you bet13:42
SpeedEvilDocScrutinizer: Well - yes and no13:42
DocScrutinizerlet's try it:13:42
DocScrutinizer~rma13:42
infobotfrom memory, rma is Return Materials Authorisation, or the process you go through when you want to return a dead part to a manufacturer in exchange for a new one13:42
SpeedEvilDocScrutinizer: RMA tells you about inuse * personcaresabout * failurepercentage13:42
SpeedEvil* knowsaboutwarranty13:42
djszapimmm, ovi policies are decided by OVI, and I guess they did not want to check manually whether a code abuses the led control or not and pissing the user off.13:43
*** veskuh has joined #harmattan13:43
DocScrutinizerdjszapi: c'mon - abusing the LED? pissing off user??13:43
djszapiDocScrutinizer: yes, heavy blinking for instance13:43
DocScrutinizerouch!!!!!13:44
* DocScrutinizer gets heavy headache from heavy LED blinking13:44
djszapiit is not about headache, it is about something a user would not like (for instance me)13:44
DocScrutinizeradmit it, it's a plain old bug in policy13:44
djszapimeaning that OVI should check every single code for that what they do with it and why. I bet they did not have enough resource for that.13:45
khertan~wac13:45
javispedrolet's drop the topic, we already know how it ends13:45
TronicCannot do that with status led but blinking the camera LEDs is fine? :)13:45
TronicMaybe you could use those for your status messages.13:45
javispedrohaha13:45
javispedroFLASH!13:45
* javispedro rofls13:45
DocScrutinizerdjszapi: please don't argue silly - there's way worse things *every* app could do, than just telling mce to please enable PatternMessageArrived13:46
djszapiactually, I just stop helping, I do not even ask it internally, thanks for calling silly, kindly.13:46
DocScrutinizerplus I say more users would like the LED to do *anything useful* rather than sitting there dead13:47
djszapiwhy I try to figure out the reason and help YOU.13:47
javispedrosee why I said drop the topic13:47
djszapibut, okay, I am now stopping it.13:47
griThe blinking led was a pretty cool thing about the n900. No need to turn on the display :)13:48
DocScrutinizerdjszapi: sorry I used the wrong letters to phrase a completely reasonable concern and thus insulted your delicate feelings13:48
DocScrutinizerdjszapi: special bonus goes to you, for negating each good thing you contribute with a statement so agonizing and defending whatever silly decision anybody inside Nokia did with "I do like it just that way"13:50
djszapican anybody tell me which statement of mine defended this led issues ?13:51
djszapiissue*13:51
DocScrutinizerhere you are: >>... it is about something a user would not like (for instance me)<<13:51
djszapi:DDDDDddddddd13:51
djszapinext post: 13:45 < djszapi> meaning that OVI should check every single code for that what they do with it and why. I bet they did not have enough resource for that.13:52
djszapiit does not mean I like they are not checking it, I just mentioned a possible reason.13:52
djszapiplease do not misinterpret it.13:52
DocScrutinizerI *BET* 95% of users would like mohammad's LED driver to notify about new msgs better than a Policy that blocks such efforts completely "to not anny users"13:52
DocScrutinizerdjszapi: that's obviously the problem, some of us tend to misinterpret pretty much each other statement of yours13:54
djszapisure...people would like to get heavily blinking leds after downloading an application from ovi, sure...without being able to stop it..13:54
DocScrutinizerI dunno how that could be helped13:54
*** veskuh has quit IRC13:54
djszapithat is probably the 95, yes.13:54
djszapisorry, but this was another issue again, you scared me out of helping anything internally.13:54
DocScrutinizerhooray13:54
javispedrosigh13:55
javispedrodjszapi has his opinion and has been proven to be impossible to change.13:55
javispedrowe have ours, he says we are out of touch with reality, we say he's the one out of touch13:55
DocScrutinizerthat's why it scares me when he even picks up a topic13:56
javispedrowe argue, throw again the same points over and over again13:56
javispedroand retry the next day13:56
*** clbr1 has left #harmattan13:56
javispedrowhich is why I'm not touching the topic with a ten foot pole13:56
DocScrutinizerso you suggest I should finally go back to using /ignore ?13:57
javispedrounless on the other side there's someone that could understand that yes, users can sometimes prefer the "heavy lights" (whatever that is)13:57
javispedroDocScrutinizer, no, there are topics other than aegis.13:58
djszapiit is not even aegis topics13:58
DocScrutinizer*plonk*13:58
DocScrutinizerthis time for real13:58
javispedrobut he's right, though, it's not "aegis" perse.13:58
javispedroit's OVI policy, whose managers are probably even harder to reach13:59
javispedrowe just put everything on the same bag ;P13:59
DocScrutinizerit doesn't matter who's to reach when the dude you're talking to says he would get annoyed by mohammad's app and thus prefers the device policy forbids it as he claims he doesn't know how to "stop it"14:00
javispedrosee above14:00
DocScrutinizeryou wouldn't expect such dude to do anything about the issue, no matter if those damagers are reachable or not14:01
javispedrofor the time being, I'm putting the usecase on the wiki and hoping that someone who understands will have a look.14:01
artemmahe'd also not know how to stop chat messages popping up all the time :)14:01
artemmauninstallation should be able to stop and undo everything for any decent app14:01
djszapiartemma: except that you can do anything from maintainer script14:02
djszapiand ovi check will pass it.14:02
DocScrutinizeryou might get scared though about this dude might find there's possibly a workaround to still operate the LEDs and would fix it - esp when that dude claims he's in chage for the policy config somehow14:02
DocScrutinizerbtw >>[2011-09-29 12:43:08] <djszapi> mmm, ovi policies are decided by OVI, and I guess they did not want to check manually whether a code abuses the led control or not and pissing the user off.<< **I GUESS** WTF?!? thanks for the help!14:05
javispedronote that I too believe the LED thing to be _in error_, even if by design error.14:05
javispedroAs e.g. an application is free to use the vibrator, or the Flash LEDs, as said above.14:05
javispedroAn a non-stopping vibrator is more annoying plus potentially device breaking.14:05
javispedrohm14:05
javispedrotbh, the library used for vibrator might have a max duration14:06
javispedroI think that's the case.14:06
javispedrobut still you're allowed to trigger it whenever you want.14:06
* RST38h points out that Nokia 5800 had a firmware (not updated for ~6 months) that often left it stuck, with vibrator turned on14:06
DocScrutinizerjavispedro: mce patterns all have a max duration to set14:06
RST38hHOw is any security framework going to protect you against that>14:06
djszapiI have never said I agree with those abuses.14:07
javispedrodjszapi, which ones, that they forbid the leds or, that they allow the vibrator? ;)14:07
javispedrocause I'm still somewhat expecting that what will happen is that the next firmware will forbid vibrator and flash LEDs, just in case!14:08
DocScrutinizerjavispedro: let's face the facts, djszapi pulled a reason out of his arse to justify a bug in policy, then got stinky when we said it's not exactly a good reason14:08
khertanTizen SDK : http://t.co/mSaUhuCm14:08
javispedrokhertan, WAC?14:08
RST38hkhertan: Cannot be. You know why?14:08
javispedroah, it's a joke =)14:09
djszapijavispedro: I am rejecting how the OPI is happening to be.14:09
macmaNanybody here know if its possible to augment the lock screen with information from media player? id like to have now playing info there.14:09
RST38hBecause it would require IE! =)14:09
djszapiI would expect more quality where your questions would be outdated.14:09
khertanRST38h: :)14:09
djszapiso that everybody could be happy with proper quality, and they could use the things if they do not abuse the system14:09
javispedrodjszapi, well, I think this is a quite minor thing that for a change someone from Ovi could show some good faith and potentially enable.14:10
RST38hDoc: I disagree on the "got stinky" part. Never stopped.14:10
javispedrodjszapi, this is not sys_admin or some other virtually hole through the security policy. just led control.14:11
djszapijavispedro: well, I am a security guy, what do you expect ? Bad quality applications going out ? :)14:11
javispedroto prove _something_ can be done14:11
DocScrutinizerjavispedro: now this is a 20ft pole then? ;-)14:11
javispedroDocScrutinizer, touché.14:11
* RST38h asserts the number of IRC messages spent to justify/reject the use of Aegis to prohibit LED control, since this morning14:12
DocScrutinizerjavispedro: prepare for next fw release getting access to all leds, vibrator, and LCD locked14:12
* RST38h sighs in disbelief14:12
javispedroDocScrutinizer, yeah, I've not yet discard that could happen..14:12
javispedrowell, LCD ;P14:12
DocScrutinizerthat's why djszapi scares me each time he says a word14:12
artemmaindeed, most of apps can use LCD for showing things not every manager knows how to stop. Oups14:13
javispedrodjszapi, you should have been there when that script kiddie came and starting talking the usual "every system is crackable" speech14:13
javispedro*started giving14:13
javispedrodjszapi, would have put you in a quite bad mood =)14:14
javispedros/there/here :P14:14
RST38hjavispedro: Wait until Harmattan does get cracked and every script kiddie and non-script non-kiddie out there jailbreaks it14:15
khertanevery os is crackable with a good hammer :)14:15
RST38hjavispedro: guaranteed to give djzsapi the eternal damnation of butt pain14:16
djszapijavispedro: well, not really, that is true (I know many aegis issues yet to get tcb anyways)14:16

djszapijavispedro: link ?14:18
javispedrodjszapi, xda developers for ex14:19
javispedroeither official holes are teared through the system now, or the daily conversation casual topic will become "how did you root that phone?"14:19
javispedrowhich is sth I'd like to avoid.14:19
*** veskuh has left #harmattan14:19
djszapijavispedro: I would have helped with the issue, if it is a bug, and not my guess.14:19
SpeedEvilEasily rootable phones that are casually rooted by 'power users' are _evil_.14:20
SpeedEvilFrom a free software POV.14:20
* DocScrutinizer sighs - even from the few lines that still appear on his screen14:20
RST38hwhat is free software POV?14:20
SpeedEvilEspecially if they warez-like nonsense like cyanogenmod14:20
SpeedEvil^encourage14:21
javispedroRST38h, this is the "pirated windows is damaging free operating systems" argument14:21
javispedro(I personally agree with it)14:21

macmaNpot of view14:21
RST38hjavispedro: ah14:21
macmaNpoint*14:21
RST38hjavispedro: but you are paying for the freaking phone, ain't you?14:21
SpeedEvilRST38h: From a point of view of the ecology of free sotware. Needs users, and devs. Distracting either to rooted platforms is harmful14:21
javispedrodjszapi, for example. the first thread -- rom bible -- about cracking14:21
javispedroand many others14:21
RST38hjavispedro: and there is no way you can install a usable linux on it14:22
djszapiok, will skim tonight14:22
javispedroRST38h, but it means that a platform that tries to promote openess (argably Nokia's) has to compete with a platform that doesn't, but everyone does it illegaly14:23
*** Eugene has joined #harmattan14:23
*** Eugene is now known as Guest8591514:23
SpeedEvilRST38h: usable linux isn't the only distraction of rootable platforms. Many devs are distracted to doing stuff with rooted android phones, that is not productive.14:24
RST38hjavispedro: ah ok14:24
javispedroso the conversation goes like "buy a n900, you can run XXX on it!" "but I can on my existing $DROID_PHONE after installing $WHATEVERS_TODAYS_CYANOGED_CRAP_IS!"14:24
RST38hjavispedro: well, nokia neither promotes openness nor competes with other platforms nowadays, so it is all historic now14:24
javispedroyes, that's sadly true.14:24
javispedroand one of the reasons for the many aegis discussions here.14:24
javispedros/aegis/"security policy" ;P14:24
DocScrutinizerme considers a blind +q *14:25
RST38hSpeedEvil: I have yet to see anyone doing any intelligent development for Android14:25
RST38hSpeedEvil: All I am seeing is 1) fart apps 2) crude ports of the existing open sourced projects14:25
* DocScrutinizer can't find a pole long enough to touch this chan, gave up at ~100ft14:26
djszapiinteresting, one guy told me that (not from OVI), the led control is forbidden on purpose since it is close to the hardware operation14:26
djszapiand it can be abused in a way, it ruins other hardware parts.14:27
khertanhum interesting ...14:27
RST38hMeanwhile: HP has rented the services of Goldman Sachs Group to fend off any potential activist investors seeking to rock the boat.14:27
javispedrothat's probably a bug then14:27
khertanwe should remove write access on fs too ... it can be abuse to fuckup the flash14:27
javispedrothe token is "LedControl", not "RuinDeviceControl" ;P14:27
RST38hDoc: Simply ignore him14:27
DocScrutinizerlooking at backscroll since ~4h ago I'm damn convinced some user here is a friggin help to general harmattan development14:27
RST38hDoc: Until someone bans him again14:27
DocScrutinizerRST38h: I did since *plonk* - this time for real14:28
RST38hjavispedrO: btw, is it notification led or the flash led?14:28
javispedroRST38h, notification, flash seems to be wide accesible14:28
*** timoph has left #harmattan14:28
DocScrutinizeruntil next "fix" djszapi pushes14:29
RST38hjavispedro: sounds opposite to what one would suspect: you may be able to overload and burn the flash led but why prohibit notification?14:29
javispedroRST38h, you know, we've been having this argument for the past half an hour ;P14:29
RST38heehehehe14:29
djszapiyes, they confirmed it, and they repeated actually what I said above. It can mess up the many signals already existing and other things.14:30
macmaNDocScrutinizer: care to elaborate on the exact meaning of the "some user" part14:30
SpeedEvildjszapi: MCE does the LED control though.14:30
javispedrodjszapi, well, thanks for relaying that.14:30
RST38hgibberish14:30
djszapiSpeedEvil: MCE is a platform software.14:30
javispedrodjszapi, but, could that be considered a bug?14:30
SpeedEvildjszapi: So if anything can convince MCE to do that, it's a bug.14:31
djszapijavispedro: why do you always guess the best about developers ? This is something I never understand14:31
javispedro"guess the best"?14:31
SpeedEvilIf you can simply tell MCE to flash the LED, that argument is flawed.14:31
djszapijavispedro: imho, it is just a compromise among the hardware developers (read as in for instance, to not have bigger hardware in sizes, etc)14:31
javispedroI usually guess the worst, because I'm one ;P14:31
djszapijavispedro: sorry, *worst14:31
RST38hjavispedro: he is talking nonsense. the notification led is basically connected to a GPIO or a PWM output. Has no other connections.14:31
RST38hjavispedro: and yes, you never control it directly even in maemo5, you ask MCE and MCE controls it14:32
javispedroI know, I'm trying to follow.14:32
RST38hjavispedro: he is feeding us bullshit, I am afraid14:32
DocScrutinizerRST38h: the notification LED is connected to a LP5523 LED controller with pattern engines14:33
RST38hmaybe it works on their middle management though14:33
DocScrutinizermce controlls that controller14:33
DocScrutinizeruser sends a dbus msg to mce and asks for a predefined pattern14:33
*** lizardo has joined #harmattan14:33
DocScrutinizeraegis^Wpolicy is forbidding this dbus msg14:34
javispedrodjszapi, either way, we might lack information, but with the one we have we consider that to be a potential bug in MCE. We think that interacting with the LED should not cause any problem with any other component, and that was the case in fact on the N900.14:34
khertanthe real reason is that evil developper could use it to write subliminal message in user brain14:34
RST38hrrriiight14:34
RST38hmake it flash so that it reveals user's location to the thugs!14:34
djszapijavispedro: look, I have been told by hardware developers, that is one reason.14:35
djszapijavispedro: since, I am not a hardware developer, and they made it, I completely trust them.14:35
* DocScrutinizer farts on pondering what the chan would look like to him without ignore list14:35
djszapijavispedro: on the other hand, they confirmed my guesses that I made from teh beginning.14:35
javispedrodjszapi, could we somehow ask for more public information on that? maybe they'd follow if we'd filled this bug in developer.nokia.com ?14:35
RST38hWhich is "whatever developer does ot the device is going to be potentially dangerous"?14:36
DocScrutinizerRST38h: to the point, exactly and 100%14:36
lizardogeneric question: has anyone seen a N9 selling (not pre-selling) anywhere already? Just curious how fast they actually are on shipping to the stores14:36
djszapijavispedro: you can always fill bugs. However, led control is probably not the most important task, but go for it.14:36
khertanRST38h: hum ... i understand now the reason of tizen : html5 only14:36
javispedrodjszapi, I understand it's not important. But I thought it would be easy.14:36
RST38hoh, you can do a lot of damage with properly written javascript...14:37
javispedrodjszapi, if something that externally looks as simple as led control will take such a lot of energy,14:37
khertanRST38h: they talk about html5 ... they could not provide js engine in the runtime14:37
javispedrothen aiming for stuff like sys_admin ....14:37
djszapijavispedro: is it easy to redesign the hardware ?14:37
DocScrutinizerjavispedro: you got trapped, pal!!14:37
javispedrodjszapi, I am yet to understand why is it a hardware problem.14:37
SpeedEvildjszapi: The hardware devlopers statement is not consistent with the released schematics.14:37
RST38halso not consistent with the sw architecture which has MCE in between14:38
djszapijavispedro: sorry, but I cannot spend more time with it that I could help.14:38
DocScrutinizerSpeedEvil: please, that's all made up (though I'm not able to read it as I couldn't stand it)14:38
javispedroMCE could also abstract whatever the "dangerous" part is and leave only LED control14:38
javispedrodjszapi, ok.14:38
SpeedEvildjszapi: The indicator LED is connected through a diode, to an output only of the charger circuitry which indicates emergency charging. It's also connected to the LED controller chip. This is the only connections to the indicator LED.14:38
RST38hand the led controller chip is individually addressable14:39
djszapiSpeedEvil: which part of that you did not understand I am not a hardware developer ? :)14:39
djszapi(not that I ever want to)14:39
RST38hdjszapi: Ok, then who are you and what makes you speak on Nokia's behalf here?14:39

djszapiI cannot know everything, and I do not even want to.14:40
javispedrodjszapi, well, no problem, that is just fine.14:40
djszapikhertan: you need to ask someone else, that is what I could help.14:40
djszapifor internal details.14:41
djszapifwiw, they also mentioned what I said from the beginning on the top of the hardware issue14:41
javispedrodjszapi, maybe you could forward our concerns to "them".14:41
DocScrutinizerjavispedro: are you finished with talking djszapi into tweaking policy to lock vibrator and flash LED and LCD content as well now?14:41

djszapiyou are not allowed to control from that direction either.14:43
javispedroDocScrutinizer, I do not want to later be told that I did not try all possible ways.14:43
djszapi(design, not mentioning bugs, if any!)14:44
DocScrutinizerjavispedro: it's evidently useless14:44
javispedrodjszapi, this is all about trying to change things, hopefully for the better.14:44
javispedrobe it design, implementation.14:44
khertani vote for forbidding developper to use memory and filesytem, it could potentially fuck off the device14:44
lizardoDocScrutinizer: very possible :) brazillians are receiving their N950 just now! (fortunately I asked to send mine to a friend who was in Finland... arrived a few weeks ago)14:44
macmaNlizardo: customs didnt rape you for extra charges for that?14:45
abinaderlizardo: and is going to be again next week :) hehe14:45
lizardoLooks like customs were trying to tax something that is explictly labeled "not for sale" on it :(14:45
DocScrutinizerkhertan: using flash storage could - using mce to control indicator LED definitely can NOT14:45
lizardomacmaN: when you bring a single (or maybe two?) cellphone for personal use, that is not a problem14:46
javispedrolizardo, after that they usually try to tax you even more for their "inconvenience"14:46
khertanDocScrutinizer: yeah this is why i reclaim restriction on flash storage ... harmattan isn't secure enough !14:46
DocScrutinizerbut I didn't see the turn in djszapi 's argumentation from "pisses off users (like me)" to "could harm the device" - luckily14:46
khertan because you see an argumentation ?14:47
khertantheir is some blabla14:47
DocScrutinizernot exactly, no14:47
khertans/their/there14:47
khertanbut none arguments14:47
DocScrutinizeri see a "I GUESS..." and that's about it14:48
djszapisandst1: From the code, I could read out: When the dpkg-wrapper updates the restok.conf file, it does it by first storing a new version as restok.conf.new and then renaming it to restok.conf. The new copy is first signed by the "tcb" credential. This error sounds like the dpkg-wrapper doesn't get "tcb" which accli is supposed to inherit, so it is unable to sign the new version.14:49
DocScrutinizerbut of course we don't have the right to query guesses of such savvy inner-circle contributors14:49
djszapisandst1: First check the error logs for anything aegis-related. You could also send the current /var/lib/restok.conf file or check that the dpkg-wrapper (/usr/bin/dpkg) has been assigned the "tcb" credential. The third thing to check is that the hash of /usr/bin/dpkg matches that in the refhash files.14:49
DocScrutinizerif they think there should be no app allowed to ask mce to activate PatternSMS then that's a commandment to us mere mortals14:50
faenildjszapi: I keep on wondering, why are you the only one who answers such questions? Why isn't there any Nokian in here?14:52

leinirhmm... the twitter client needs to not scroll down automatically when you do a manual refresh...15:19
macmaNleinir: scroll up or down? im finding it mondo annoying when you open an item in the client and then feed loses your position when you come back to it.15:20
macmaNthere needs to be a Clear All button too15:21
macmaNits impossible to keep track of read items otherwise15:21
macmaNunless you have like your grandmother in all your feeds only15:21
leinirmacmaN: quick description - you're at the top, you pull down to cause a refresh, and the refresh now stays scrolled at the top, rather than focused on the current items15:21

faenilDocScrutinizer: I'd like to see you alone against a bunch of angry people which do nothing but attack15:32
macmaNDocScrutinizer: maybe youve argued with djszapi more than i have managed to monitor, but i have not noticed that djszapi is the majority voter on these product security problems. has it been quantified to a meaningful point how much of a part djszapi specifically plays in the decision making puzzle?15:33
djszapimacmaN: I do not decide, just propose.15:33
djszapiI am a developer only. :)15:33
DocScrutinizerpfff, sorry but when I would claim such BS like "blinking LED (as of mce doing what it's designed for) can piss users (like me)" then probably I'd deserve a bunch of angry people attacking me15:34
macmaNdjszapi: yep, but your proposal definitely influences decisions. for all intents and purposes it can be viewed as a single pie.15:34
djszapimacmaN: wrong. ;) Those are just my opinions. I actually even said I have no overview about the hardware issues or about the security policies.15:35

DocScrutinizermacmaN: [2011-09-29 12:43:08] <djszapi> mmm, ovi policies are decided by OVI, and I guess they did not want to check manually whether a code abuses the led control or not and pissing the user off.  [2011-09-29 12:44:43] <djszapi> it is not about headache, it is about something a user would not like (for instance me)15:36

macmaNoh. ok. then it is even more unfortunate that DocScrutinizer's energy goes to waste. maybe it would be more useful to organize an anti aegis piquet next to nokiaoffice, with a separate message for an hour each day of the week.15:38
DocScrutinizerclosing a virtual bug ticket "INVALID" on a "I guess" and "user wouldn't want (like me)" is mere paralyzing and not helping in any way15:38
StskeepsmacmaN: i'm so in15:38
macmaNStskeeps: for the protest march? :>15:39
djszapimacmaN: actually, I got confirmation for my guesses in the beginnings, so they seem to be correct. That is one reason of their why they would not like to allow.15:39
khertanmacmaN: or use energy to create a viable true Open Source Mobile OS ... without major corporate control like intel15:40
djszapibut yeah, about decisions to someone else :)15:40
djszapiwhere is this led problem to major issues out of security ...15:40
macmaNkhertan: i doubt software is the problem today so muchh. its the hardware part thats almost an insurmountable barrier apparently, unless you get some billionaire on board who could take it as a sport challeneg for himself.15:41
djszapimacmaN: there are open hardware projects.15:41
djszapiopen hardware communities, too.15:41
macmaNdjszapi:  if there was *anything* that was worth the time of reading about it, we probably wouldnt be sitting here sweating about the future of harmattan.15:42
khertanmacmaN: maybe hardware is a problem too, but today, software is the problem15:43
djszapimacmaN: yes, there are, for instance there is this open gnu jtagice to blackfin dspS15:43

*** berndhs has joined #harmattan15:45
vladestwhy any of qt apps on n950 takes hundreds of megz ?15:45
vladestaccording to top15:46
macmaNkhertan: :) ok. i consider hardware and driver level stuff a single problem.15:46
khertanvladest: because it s writing with a sledgehammer15:46
DocScrutinizeractually the point is those random nonsensical restrictions introduced by security policy (and possibly changing with every new firmware release, or even in between releases, on a random manner), that are not documented or explained or based on any sane rationale - they destroy the platform for commercial developers as they put a continuous risk on them that their app will cease to work on next change of policy, if it can get to work at15:46
DocScrutinizerall and not runs into any invisible roadblocker right away - consider MohammadAG's notification-LED app a good example for that. No commercial developer will want to take the risk to find out about some aegis rule breaks his app concept and renders it unfeasible, after manweeks of development went into that project15:46
khertanmacmaN: this is why you see it as hardware problem and me as software15:46
khertan:)15:46
fluxvladest, determining process size in linux is difficult. especially the vsize, which I imagine is the number you are looking for, can get very big.15:46
macmaNkhertan: there is no meaning of one without another15:46
khertanmacmaN: of course15:46
macmaNbut since you only show me N900 now, that lacks CPU power and RAM, does that show that there is really no hardware options.15:47
vladestflux: right, i'm looking at VSZ column15:47
fluxvladest, simply mapping 100 megabytes of libraries to process address space makes that number grow by 100 MB15:48
fluxvladest, but the code itself is shared between all processes that use the same libraries15:48
khertanDocScrutinizer: an other example, install community git package ... post install script call bash, wish isn't available, so you want to modify it to sh ... there is no need to use bash for this simple script ... you can't ... aegis voodoo ...15:48
khertanmacmaN: n950 ?15:48
vladestflux: so, its allocated but not comitted memory?15:49
khertanmacmaN: ... and 600Mhz cpu and 256Mo of ram is enough for devel a viable end user os15:49
kavachavladest it is shared15:49
kavachabetween every process that uses the libraries15:49
macmaNkhertan: true. but id consider n950 level power baselineish. its just too painful otherwise.15:49
kavachawell the ro sections15:49
kavachaof those libs15:49
fluxvladest, it may not even be allocated. it's mapped. it may reside on the block device actually.15:49
macmaNn950 is of course a fine pick, except manufacturing it is not in community control.15:50
khertanmacmaN: anyway, we can expect true open os to be available for different device15:50
fluxvladest, it is only allocated and copied to memory partially when its functions are called15:50
khertanmacmaN: indeed15:50
vladestok, then why after some time I can see message "memory low, close some apps" but VSZ is the same?15:50
vladesthow to check real commited memory size by process?15:51
fluxmaybe because your firmware might have less than perfect behavior regarding that message..15:51

Venemoleinir, thx for the answer18:49
leinirVenemo: no problem :)18:49
lardmanhmm, not interested - 488kb left to download and not interested in continuing18:49
Venemoleinir, and what's the purpose of such a small chip?18:50
* lardman tries from the update page18:51
leinirVenemo: storing URLs and the like - vcards as well :)18:52
Venemoleinir, ah. so not an extemely useful piece of technology.18:52
leinirWell, the larger tags have more storage space - enough to store an app or somesuch18:53
Venemostill not extremely useful18:54
Venemoa pendrive + USB host sounds better. yes, arguably we have a lot less usb host devices than nfc devices.18:55
lardmanhmm, I'm stuck, can't manually update the sdk-connectivity-tool and trying to enable developer mode fails with 216kb to download now18:55
lardmanis the terminal app in the harmattan repo?18:57
lardmannot that that will really do much good if I can't install it somehow18:58
leinirVenemo: that takes a /lot/ more effort than people are generally willing to put into getting something for free, though - you are underestimating the laziness of the general consumer ;)18:58
npmplease don't tell me the 3500 nokia employees laid off today were working on harmattan/meego/qt... http://shoutbloger.blogspot.com/2011/09/nokia-will-layoff-3500-employees-in.html19:00
Venemoleinir, yeah.19:00

Venemothere were never 3500 people on MeeGo, nor Harmattan, nor Qt, nor on all of them together. IMO.19:00

Venemohmmm... maybe Nokia fired all those people to be able to pay the 25 thousand USD for the winners? :P19:06

lardmanso I guess it's not going to go away22:53

lardmanI took out the sim to stick in my N900 so I could still receive calls22:54
lardmanjust came back up to see the arrow still there, so tried a reboot, and lo and behold it's booted22:54
