AranelAny ideas to change security lock timeout from background? any API or gconf key or something?00:25
DocScrutinizerAranel: if aegis wasn't completely configured fubar, it's forbidden00:29
DocScrutinizerAranel: inadvertently setting timeout to 1s might well piss off user00:30
Aranelah, I was planning to provide a manual lock app/shortcut, I was thinking of setting it to immediate, initctl restart devicelockd and set it back again.00:30
Aranelsince locking screen API is not provided -at least with current credentials- either :|00:31
*** blueslee has joined #harmattan00:31
DocScrutinizersame cheese, different flavour00:31
DocScrutinizeractually a nice example why aegis CONCEPT isn't helping to solve the targeted problem00:32
Aranellooks like there isn't a workaround for this, and Nokia guys closed my bug report with a WONTFIX, so there won't be any manual security lock option.00:32
DocScrutinizer:nod:00:33
DocScrutinizer*some* user might get fsckd by *some* app abusing it, so it's not allowed for *any* user and *any* (non-Nokia-)app :-/00:33
Aranelwell I asked Nokia to behave nice and provide lockscreen creds or develop a lock themselves (would take my 5, their 3 mins~), with no luck :|00:33
DocScrutinizeryup00:34
Araneland that's why I really, REALLY want to go open-mode :)00:34
DocScrutinizerhonestly, if aegis was configured correctly (based on 'correct' policies), it shall forbid printing chars to screen00:35
DocScrutinizeras printing chars to screen also has potential to fsck *some* users with *some* rogue app00:35
njsfOk, so for reference00:36
njsffenix stores the email in /home/user/.qmf00:36
Aranelalso, I think that's why something like Ovi QA (which is slower than a snail) is already in place00:36
njsfand removing it made it work again after the PR 1.2 mess00:36
Aranelto stop *some* malicious apps.00:36
njsfnow its just the pain of restoring the apps00:36
njsf*aggg*00:36
bluesleerescue images for n950 stopped working properly for the n9 since pr 1.2, checked this with a clean pr 1.2 flash00:37
DocScrutinizerhonestly, CBA to seek for more headache with this HARM thing00:37
DocScrutinizerit's fundamentaly FUBAR00:37
DocScrutinizerI really prefer andidiot over HARM00:38
DocScrutinizerat very least antridot has *a future*00:39

*** snowpong has quit IRC00:39
bluesleemy n9 is messed up, suffering from bug 123 and restoring full backups with rescue image does not work properly as pr 1.2 behaves different than pr 1.2, i get immediately warning messages when flashing the rescue images00:39
_MeeGoBot_Bug https://harmattan-bugs.nokia.com/show_bug.cgi?id=123 maj, Highest, ---, ext-risto.lahti, REOP, accounts passwords are not remembered accross reboots00:39
itsnotabigtrucki just wrote a guide about firmware flashing00:40
itsnotabigtruckshould i post it in the meego/harmattan forum or n9/n950 forum on tmo00:41
itsnotabigtruckalso blueslee: yeah, i ran into that first00:41
itsnotabigtruckyou have to do a full flash00:41
itsnotabigtruckmaybe you could test this guide i just wrote :p00:41
bluesleeitsnotabigtruck: i did a full reflash and then the rescue images, the n9 shows up the warning (!) and does not reboot properly00:42
itsnotabigtruckblueslee: that's the problem, booting the rescue image after installing PR1.2 immediately puts you into open mode00:43
itsnotabigtruckif you want open mode, that's an easy way to get it00:43
itsnotabigtruckotherwise, don't ever use the rescue image after installing pr1.3200:43
itsnotabigtrucki posted an alert on tmo but no one really noticed it00:43
itsnotabigtruckhttp://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=82644&highlight=flasher maybe you could bump the thread :p00:44
bluesleeitsnotabigtruck: missed your alert as i was in an endless reboot cylce with my n9:-)00:44
itsnotabigtruckalso, your N9 still should have been able to boot00:45
itsnotabigtruckit would have just been in open mode00:45
itsnotabigtruckand with the disclaimer every boot00:45
bluesleeitsnotabigtruck: open mode was safe in the sense to get always back right?00:45
itsnotabigtruckyeah, you can always undo open mode by doing a comprehensive flash00:46
itsnotabigtruckhttp://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=8269300:46
bluesleecan you post your guide?00:46
itsnotabigtrucki was waiting for someone to advise on which forum to use, i just put it in n9/n95000:46
itsnotabigtruckthe thing is that everybody's talking about flashing stuff in the other forum00:46
itsnotabigtrucklol00:46
bluesleewow, thats a comprehensive book:-)00:47
bluesleeitsnotabigtruck: so there is a chance to restore my backups done with the rescue image?00:47
bluesleeno or?00:48
bluesleei backuped home, rootfs and mmc with dd_rescue resp tar00:48
bluesleeif i restore it i will break the open mode again00:49
bluesleehmm00:49
bluesleelets read the guide00:49
itsnotabigtruckblueslee: hmm...loopmount the stuff and selectively restore things using scp00:50

itsnotabigtruckAranel njsf DocScrutinizer: any chance you could look over that forum post i just linked and see if you find anything that looks wrong?00:57
bluesleeitsnotabigtruck: i will go the open mode asap, i am sick of those restrictions01:01
Aranelitsnotabigtruck: variant code downgrade is disallowed? I never noticed that one, what a dumb restriction.01:01

*** Burner_ has quit IRC01:04
Aranelitsnotabigtruck: It looks okay, at least for GNU/Linux part.01:05
tehdelyi still haven't seen a good explanation of what Open Mode actually is01:06
tehdelyand what its drawbacks are01:06
tehdelyanyone want to give me the executive summary?01:06
*** Burner_ has joined #harmattan01:06
Aranelinfobot knows.01:08
infobotNot as well as [NewsBot]01:08
tehdelyi'm just trying to get up to speed with years' worth of posts on the forums01:08
tehdelyi've had my N9 for a whole day01:08
itsnotabigtrucktehdely: that's because there's been a lot of misinformation and stuff01:09
Aranelopen-mode = wonderland, where Aegis no more cares about anything, gives away credentials, and shows you a scary notice on boot.01:10
itsnotabigtruckanyway, it's a mode that the N9 goes into if it detects you've done unauthorized things01:10
itsnotabigtruckit a) displays said scary notice every reboot01:10
itsnotabigtruckb) enables an override in aegis that lets you install stuff with any permissions01:10
itsnotabigtruckentering open mode from closed mode tends to break stuff though, so you should only try to activate open mode right after doing the "comprehensive reset" in my guide01:11
AranelI think Aegis just bricks the device (=MALF) if it detects unauthorized things. Open-mode is only activated if you install an unsigned kernel.01:11
itsnotabigtruckAranel: starting with PR1.2 open mode stays enabled until you completely reflash, once you trigger it01:11
tehdelyMALF... expand acronym please01:12
itsnotabigtruckMALFunction01:12
AranelI remember there was a bulls** app from Nokia, named Air UI, drove Aegis crazy and brick ppl's devices because of security concerns.01:12
itsnotabigtruckit's the screen that says "Device malfunctioning" that appears if you do certain things that aegis doesn't like01:12
Aranelitsnotabigtruck: oh, that's not nice :<01:12
itsnotabigtruckit doesn't "brick" per se...it displays the screen, then reboots after a certain amount of time01:13
tehdelyso "Open Mode" is something that I can enable by flashing an alternative kernel01:13
itsnotabigtruckhowever, if you have something that triggers a MALF early in the boot process01:13
tehdelyand it is also something that I can revert by reflashing to factory images01:13
tehdelyam i correct so far?01:13
itsnotabigtruckthen it'll boot, MALF, boot MALF, and so on01:13
*** npm__ has quit IRC01:13
itsnotabigtruckand that will cause it to brick after it realizes it's in a reboot loop01:13
Aranelitsnotabigtruck: until it drives you crazy and you remove /var/malf :p01:13
tehdelyand does an Open Mode kernel exist for 1.201:14
itsnotabigtrucktehdely: no "open mode kernel", but you don't need that kernel to be in open mode01:14
itsnotabigtruckthat's why it's called a mode01:14
itsnotabigtruckhowever, what the patched kernel that DocScrutinizer made is cause su'ing to give you standard linux privileges01:14
DocScrutinizernot made by me01:15
Aranelafai remember reboot-loop MALFs are avoidable, if you find a way to end that loop from outside or if it decides to stop that madness.01:15
itsnotabigtruck*made does is cause01:15
itsnotabigtruckDocScrutinizer: hm? i thought everything on your site is from you or nokia01:15
itsnotabigtruckanyway, also the patched kernel disables all permission checks01:16
itsnotabigtruckbut that isn't really just open mode - it's open mode + a kernel with a hacked aegis01:16
*** npm__ has joined #harmattan01:17
itsnotabigtruckyou can still do open mode things without it01:17
tehdelyok so how do i enter this mode01:17
*** M4rtinK has quit IRC01:18
itsnotabigtrucktehdely: look at the guide i posted, and continue through the "comprehensive reset", but stop before rebooting01:18
itsnotabigtruckhttp://wiki.meego.com/N950/Fixing_MALF_state go there and grab the rescue kernel/initrd01:18
itsnotabigtruckthen do: flasher --kernel=kernelfile --initfs=initfile -l -b01:18
AranelI think there was some bugs against open-mode, are they fixed?01:18
itsnotabigtruckit should near-immediately display a disclaimer screen01:19
itsnotabigtruckwait maybe 30 seconds then disconnect the usb01:19
tehdelygotcha, so i want to first do a clean flash to pr1.2 (emmc, the works)01:19
itsnotabigtruckyeah01:19
tehdelyand _not_ reboot01:19
tehdelythe phone won't reboot on its own?01:19
itsnotabigtruckalso i'm not 100% sure that procedure works if you weren't already on pr1.01:19
itsnotabigtruck*already on pr1.201:19
tehdelyok so i do the comprehensive reset01:20
tehdelythen my immediate next step is to flash with the rescue kernel/initrd01:20
tehdelyat no point in this process have i rebooted the phone01:20
itsnotabigtruckon second thought...you might have to do this01:21
itsnotabigtrucka) do the comprehensive flash, including the flasher -R01:21
itsnotabigtruckthis powers off the phone01:21
itsnotabigtruckpull the usb right after you do it01:21
itsnotabigtruckb) do flasher -i again and reattach the phone01:21
itsnotabigtruckc) do that flasher --kernel stuff01:21
itsnotabigtrucki'm not 100% certain about either procedure because i never actually put my phone into open mode together with a flash01:22
tehdelywhy all this tight timing with the USB01:22
tehdelywhat's the race01:22
itsnotabigtruckbecause simply having the phone attached to a powered usb boots it01:22
tehdelygotcha01:22
tehdelyyou did in fact explain this phenomenon yesterday01:22
itsnotabigtruckthat's also why you only need to attach the phone after doing flasher -i01:23
itsnotabigtruckthat boots it right after you plug in01:23
tehdelyi should probably also install flasher so i can see what these flags actually mean01:23
itsnotabigtruckheh yeah01:23
itsnotabigtruckit has integrated help, it isn't very good but it helps01:23
tehdelyso when 'flasher -i' is running and i attach a phone01:23
tehdelythe attached phone goes into some flashing mode01:23
tehdelyinstead of booting?01:23
itsnotabigtruckexactly01:23
tehdelybingo01:23
itsnotabigtruckit's possible to skip flasher -i and go straight to the real commands, but it seems like it only works 100% of the time with the flasher -i step01:24
itsnotabigtruckotherwise you have weird timing problems01:24
tehdelyi'm just going to go ahead and assume you're doing all of this from a linux system?01:24
itsnotabigtrucknah, windows01:24
tehdelyoh01:24
tehdelyi can only run windows in a VM01:24
itsnotabigtruckthe flasher utility works exactly the same way in linux01:25
itsnotabigtruckbut downloading images is inconvenient without navifirm01:25
*** DrGrov has joined #harmattan01:26
tehdelyso, in this Open Mode, are there things known not to work?01:27
DrGrovEvening01:27
*** chouchoune1 has joined #harmattan01:27
tehdelyalso, i don't quite understand what happens after i boot the phone with that rescue kernel01:28
itsnotabigtrucktehdely: i don't think there's any issues provided that you follow the procedure exactly01:28
itsnotabigtruckearly on people didn't realize you had to nuke the phone before and after open mode01:28
tehdelyopen mode persists across further reboots, yes?01:29
DrGrovAny new news on PR 1.2 for N9 ?01:29
itsnotabigtruckwhat happens is that the bootloader flips a bit in the calibration data region (CAL)01:29
itsnotabigtruckbecause you loaded an untrusted kernel01:29
itsnotabigtruckand every boot after that, it checks that and puts you into open mode01:29
itsnotabigtruckthat behavior is new in PR1.2 btw - it didn't do that before in PR1.101:29
tehdelyrighteous01:30
itsnotabigtruckended up being a nasty surprise for blueslee and myself01:30
tehdelyand are there things i can expect _not_ to work as long as the phone is running in Open Mode01:30
itsnotabigtruckas far as i know, everything works - if it had DRM features those would probably turn off01:30
itsnotabigtruckbut it doesn't01:30
tehdelyi read mention of things to do with passwords, or proprietary apps01:30
itsnotabigtruckthose were mostly due to not actually nuking the phone01:30
itsnotabigtruckif you have any issues, please report them, you can always go back to closed mode by doing another comprehensive reset01:31
itsnotabigtruckDrGrov: well, it's out for all the unlocked phones now01:31
DrGrovitsnotabigtruck: Ah, it is. Damn this. I have not been monitoring close enough then :/01:31
itsnotabigtruckDrGrov: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=82693 check out my flashing manual i just wrote01:32
DrGrovitsnotabigtruck: You probably suggest a backup first before updating to PR 1.2 ?01:32
itsnotabigtruckDrGrov: yeah01:33
itsnotabigtruckand then flash it through my guide, because SSU (auto upgrade) seems to not be worth it01:33
DrGrovitsnotabigtruck: Is it enough to do the backup on the device with the built-in backup app?01:33
DrGrovWhat is the issue with the auto upgrade from the device?01:33
itsnotabigtrucki don't think it'll capture everything...i think some people lost their angry birds saves01:33
itsnotabigtruckback up /var/opt01:33
itsnotabigtruckthe problem is that it's slow, fails a lot, and freaks out in a number of cases01:34
itsnotabigtrucklike if you have any unofficial repos added to apt01:34
JackaLXI'm happy to report that my 1.2 update went flawlessly and I've not found any issues with the phone since.01:34
DrGrovI was hoping to see something on the device that there would be an update available. This is a surprise.01:34
itsnotabigtruckalso it starts reindexing your phone after you upgrade, which makes the new version feel slow for a while01:35
tehdelyso as long as the phone is in 'open mode' it displays some ominous warning on every boot, but that's it as far as inconvenience?01:35
itsnotabigtrucktehdely: it's a very ominous warning01:35
tehdelypray tell01:35
DrGrovJackaLX: Did you update with the built-in updater on the N9?01:35
itsnotabigtruckthe most ominous warning you've ever seen01:35
itsnotabigtruckthe very sight of the ominois warning can paralyze mere mortals01:35
JackaLXDrGrov: yes (you mean via SSU, yeah?)01:35
*** aquarius has quit IRC01:35
DrGrovJackaLX: Yes, through the phone.01:36
JackaLXyep01:36
DrGrovJackaLX: How long did it take for you to get it downloaded, installed and upgraded?01:36
JackaLXhmm, hour and a half maybe01:36
DrGrovJackaLX: What type of backup did you do before you started the upgrading?01:37
JackaLXwasn't paying that much attention to the time... too excited about the shiny lol01:37
tehdelyi demand to know the contents of this warning01:37
tehdelyi want to make sure it's something i can stomach01:37

*** benares_98 has quit IRC01:37
tehdelynow does nokia actually know that i've PERMANENTLY VOIDED THE WARRANTY01:37
tehdelylet's say something fails and i ship it off to an NCP01:38
tehdelyas long as i reflash first i should be cool, right?01:38
JackaLXtehdely: well they'll know the first time they switch it on and have that warning hit them in the face LOL01:38
itsnotabigtrucki'm not sure if anybody knows for sure01:38
DrGrovJackaLX: Or more like that what did you do in order to back up?01:38
tehdelyi wonder if there's an equivalent of that water damage dot :>01:38
itsnotabigtruckif you stuff up your openmoded phone, definitely do a comprehensive reset before even thinking about sending it in01:39
itsnotabigtruckbut that won't help if the hardware is completely kaputt01:39
TronicDoes Nokia even use moisture indicator dots?01:39
JackaLXDrGrov: I just used the stock "backup" thingy on the device.  But because everything went without a hitch, it was a pointless exercise for me.  YMMV of course01:39
itsnotabigtruckit's possible that a bit is flipped somewhere that nokia could check01:39
DrGrovJackaLX: Ok, I will use the stock backup app on the device then first. I hate to see something messed up lol01:39
TronicN900 at least has no moisture indicators but I haven't disassembled other devices. I have successfully RMA'ed a disassembled N900, though.01:40
*** chouchoune1 has quit IRC01:40

itsnotabigtruckif you're familiar with the matter let me know if i'm off the mark on any of that01:41
DrGrovCan someone tell me how big that PR 1.2 update is? I am thinking if I need my faster connection or not for it01:41
DrGrovOr if I can do it on the road if needed01:41
itsnotabigtruckDrGrov: SSU is 250 megs01:42
DrGrovOk, then time to get the faster connection01:42
DrGrovIt will otherwise kill me to have my 2Mbit connection on the road01:42
DrGrovLOL01:42
DrGrovBut thanks, I will update come weekend since it takes time anyhow01:44
DrGrovThanks for the help guys01:44
*** DrGrov has left #harmattan01:45
JackaLXitsnotabigtruck: that's an excellent write-up on flashing.  Is that article "sticky"? Should be if not01:45
itsnotabigtruckJackaLX: i was thinking about asking for it to be made so, maybe once it gets a bit more attention01:46
JackaLXMight be worth mentioning the perl navifirm.pl script that can retrieve eMMC images in Linux01:48
itsnotabigtruckbut thanks01:48
itsnotabigtruckoh and yeah01:48
itsnotabigtruckonce admiral0 makes his script download emmc images i'll probably put that in place of that website i linked to01:48
itsnotabigtruckfor now the website seems easier01:48
itsnotabigtrucktehdely: if you're going to openmode your phone now, let me know if my instructions worked01:49
JackaLXfor me the perl script is 1000 times easier :-)01:49
itsnotabigtrucksince they're kinda speculative01:49

itsnotabigtruckoh, also, tehdely: regarding the wifi adhoc thing, what's really funny is that they allowed an app onto ovi that specifically overrides it http://store.ovi.com/content/257297?clickSource=related%2Bcontent&contentArea=applications&pos=302:23

ieatlintthe post really makes sense... they're trying to disuade you from doing something that could brick your device02:28
ieatlintis it likely to brick your device? no.. but it's hard to criticize them for warning you and saying it may not be covered by a warranty02:29
itsnotabigtruckieatlint: right...the post is actually fairly reasonable02:29
ieatlinthappily my last n9 got the 1.2 update today02:29
itsnotabigtrucksome nokia people have said some not entirely reasonable things about it, this is basically saying "unofficial things are unofficial"02:30
ieatlintyeah02:30
ieatlintthe comments also give some helpful info on failed updates02:30
itsnotabigtruckright, but they're failed updates using the mechanism that very blog post says to use :p02:31

franz`most of my network is macs though, so I guess that plays onto it02:46
itsnotabigtruckDocScrutinizer51: o.O good luck making your "word" stick02:48
itsnotabigtruckanyway, just figured out that it's possible to pay for stuff in ovi store by credit card by turning on flight mode, starting the store, and letting it turn on wifi02:48
itsnotabigtrucka lot easier than doing the poweroff/remove sim/boot/buy/... exercise02:49
DocScrutinizer51took me like half a year to relize it's actually the recently introduced avahi that's the culprit when linux machines suddenly wouldn't get any DHCP lease anymore in heterogenous LANs02:49
DocScrutinizer51some years ago when that cra.. errr stuff was new02:50
itsnotabigtruckblame apple and the ietf then02:50
itsnotabigtruckmostly the ietf02:50
itsnotabigtruckalso i thought that APIPA biznus only kicks in if obtaining a DHCP lease fails first02:51
DocScrutinizer51meh, I blame lennart for forcing it into each and every distro, just like PA02:51

tehdelyok so this is funny02:53
tehdelymy N9 decided it was at 2% battery about 40 minutes ago02:53
tehdelyand has been warning me about low battery ever since02:53
tehdelyi was hoping it would drain and fully power off02:53
tehdelybut that is not what has occurred!02:53
tehdely$ lshal | grep battery.charge_level.percentage02:53
tehdely  battery.charge_level.percentage = 4  (0x4)  (int)02:53
tehdelynow we're up to 4%!02:53
tehdelyha ha02:53
itsnotabigtruckLOL02:53

itsnotabigtruckyeah, the battery charge meter is notoriously funky02:54
*** flat` has joined #harmattan02:54
befordi think there is a thread about that on TMO02:54
tehdelyi wonder how much battery this thing actually has02:54
itsnotabigtruckdon't drain it too far though or you'll have problems02:54
DocScrutinizer51no surprise02:54
tehdelyi'm trying to give it a full run down02:54
itsnotabigtruckyou better put it on usb pronto02:54
tehdelyoh really?02:54
tehdelywhat happens if it fully discharges02:54
tehdelyis it like a Tesla Roadster02:54
tehdely:P02:54
itsnotabigtruckit has to have charge in order to charge02:54

itsnotabigtruckit's the best catch there is02:54
tehdelywell how am i going to complete my experiment if i don't know how long it lasts on a single charge02:54
DocScrutinizer51nonsense02:55
*** CissWit has joined #harmattan02:55
*** chouchoune has joined #harmattan02:55
itsnotabigtruckwell, i don't think it's that easy to get into that situation actually02:55
tehdelyit will, i assume, power off at some point to preserve whatever trickle of power it has02:55
itsnotabigtrucki'm not sure what you have to do to drain it far enough that it won't boot into charge mode02:55
*** unreal has joined #harmattan02:55
*** unreal is now known as unreal-02:55
TronicI must wonder how do they manage to create systems that cannot use power from the charger when the battery is entirely drained.02:56
DocScrutinizer51n900 charged without booting first, and N9 is supposed to do exactly same02:56
*** bindi_ has joined #harmattan02:56
itsnotabigtruckit does? why does it boot into act dead mode then02:57
DocScrutinizer51it's just extremely slow on charging that way02:57
franz` 2263 root     avahi-daemon: running [Nokia-N9.local]02:57
franz`working02:57
itsnotabigtruckand i've heard about boot loops where it boots, refuses to boot because it's discharged, then boots again, over and over, because it's attached to usb but drained02:57
franz`not starting on boot though, odd02:57
DocScrutinizer51why it bootas into act_ded? simply to do ENUM02:57
itsnotabigtruckfranz`: upstart job is probably no good02:58
tehdelyfranz`: nice, avahi02:58
itsnotabigtruckhmm02:58
franz`I started it manually with /etc/init.d/avahi-daemon start02:58
itsnotabigtruckthere's the problem02:59
itsnotabigtruckthere isn't supposed to be anything even in /etc/init.d02:59
itsnotabigtruckit needs to be upstartified02:59
franz`oh boy02:59
franz`where is the upstart dir? lol02:59
itsnotabigtruck/etc/init02:59
itsnotabigtruckbut you run upstart jobs with /sbin/initctl start/stop/restart02:59
*** risca has quit IRC02:59
franz`nothing of the sort there, ah, well03:00
franz`guess I won't be able to ask that guy to submit it to apps.formeego.org then03:00
tehdelyhas anyone established precisely what component of the system is disabling ad-hoc, btw03:00
DocScrutinizer51only catch about ~flatbatrecover is: you should use the original Nokia fastcharger, to get the D+/- fastchrg short03:00
DocScrutinizer51so charging can use 500mA instead of 100 or maybe even 803:01
tehdelyflatbatrecover == ?03:01
itsnotabigtruckDocScrutinizer51: does the AC-10 work for that purpose or does it have to be AC-1603:01
DocScrutinizer51~flatbatrecover03:01
infobotRemove battery for 1 minute. Insert battery. Plug powered Nokia wallcharger to device. Watch steady amber. Let sit and charge. Do NOT try to boot. After 30 min, you got either a) a booted up N900, b) flashing amber which means you can boot, c) steady amber going off - in this case start over again with ~flatbatrecover03:01
tehdelywell there's no battery removal happening with this guy03:01
DocScrutinizer51applies too N90003:01
itsnotabigtruck(AC-10 = N900 stock charger, AC-16 = N9 stock charger)03:02
itsnotabigtrucki have both but often end up using the AC-10 because i don't have to fool around with a usb cable03:02
DocScrutinizer51so what?03:02
itsnotabigtruckwell, you said it has to be the original nokia charger03:02
itsnotabigtruckbut both of those are nokia chargers marketed as "fast chargers"03:02
DocScrutinizer51both are original Nokia03:02
*** rm_work has quit IRC03:02
itsnotabigtruckright, but maybe the AC-10 works on the N900 only and the AC-16 works on the N9 only03:02
DocScrutinizer51both have fastchrg signalling03:03
itsnotabigtruckok03:03
itsnotabigtruckcool03:03
tehdelyi find the charge signalling stuff really annoying03:05
tehdelyi bought one of those portable battery thingamabobs to keep my phone juiced when i'm skiing03:05
tehdelyand found out that it won't charge anything nokia03:05
tehdelyat least none of my symbian handsets03:05
tehdelyit just gives up.  they "charge" for 1sec03:05
tehdelyhowever the N9 does something new... it says "this can not supply enough power" (or something like that)03:05
tehdelybut does appear to be drawing current fomr it03:05
itsnotabigtruckthat's strange...i thought non-nokia chargers charge, just slowly03:05
itsnotabigtruckthe nokia chargers can overdrive past usb spec03:06
tehdelyoh btw, what happens if i connect the phone in mass storage mode?03:06
tehdelywhat precisely gets mounted to my computer03:06
itsnotabigtruck~user/MyDocs03:07
itsnotabigtruckwhich is a fat32 part03:07
DocScrutinizer51N9(xx) uses up to ~1000mA from 'fastcharger'. Anything not delivering that will collapse and result in charging aborted03:07
franz`lol, apt-get remove --purge'd avahi-daemon, reinstalled that deb, and now there's no init.d script03:07
itsnotabigtruckfranz`: that's...weird03:08
franz`I had forgotten I had tried a fremantle avahi-daemon deb03:08
franz`so probably screwed it up forever03:08
franz`oh well03:08
itsnotabigtrucki'd expect that if you deleted it yourself, then uninstalled without purging, then reinstalled03:08
itsnotabigtruckoh, guess that was it03:08
itsnotabigtruckbtw DocScrutinizer51: do the instructions in http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=82693 look proper to you?03:10
DocScrutinizer51sorry, on N900. won't check tmo now03:10
itsnotabigtruckoh ok, np03:11
DocScrutinizer51what's it about?03:11
*** risca has joined #harmattan03:11
*** risca has quit IRC03:11
DocScrutinizer51meh03:13
franz`it's working now... is there any other run on boot dir beyond /etc/init on harmattan?03:13
franz`I have no idea what I've done, just a reboot later it works automatically03:14
itsnotabigtruckDocScrutinizer51: it's a guide to flashing the N903:14
DocScrutinizer51cool03:14
itsnotabigtruckwith a lot of technical specifics that i want to run by people who know what they're talking about03:14
DocScrutinizer51will check in ~18h03:15
itsnotabigtruckfranz`: there's a few other ways to get stuff to run on boot, but /etc/init's the main way03:15
itsnotabigtruckand its subdirectories03:15
franz`ah, ok03:16
franz`oh, subdirectory03:16
franz`missed that, d'oh03:16
DocScrutinizer51isn't that /etc/<new_name_of_events.d> ?03:17
franz`there's an /etc/init/apps subdir I missed the first time03:17
franz`aaand there's a /etc/init/apps/avahi-daemon.conf there03:17
franz`mystery solved03:17
franz`lol03:17
DocScrutinizer51hmm,  maybe init is the new name of events.d?03:18
itsnotabigtruckDocScrutinizer51: must be03:18
itsnotabigtruckalso it seems that some users of australian carrier branded N9 firmware can't debrand their phones after updating to PR1.103:18
DocScrutinizer51well, is it initctl 'scripts' in there?03:18
itsnotabigtruckthat's the reason for the 2nd warning03:19
franz`http://pastebin.com/DA3gQTYv that's the avahi-daemon script03:19
itsnotabigtruckit needs to be figured out exactly when the image lock kicks in03:19
itsnotabigtruckalso the person who reported it made it sound like it's irreversible when it fails - not sure if that's actually the case or just a misunderstanding03:19
itsnotabigtruckif it's possible to do something like upgrade the SW cert, but have everything else blocked - that's bad03:20
DocScrutinizer51yup03:20
DocScrutinizer51and that's quite possibl03:20
itsnotabigtruckwell, normally if it accepts the SW cert, it'll definitely accept everything named in the SW cert03:21
DocScrutinizer51it's already known you can't revert from e.g. asian fiasco03:21
itsnotabigtruckare you sure about that, lots of people have gone from PR1.1 003 (china) to PR1.1 009 (europe-2)03:21
itsnotabigtruckthat's why i put the paragraph in about reflashing the CMT, because that does cause a problem03:22
DocScrutinizer51maybe that's been african fiasco03:22
DocScrutinizer51or whatever03:22
itsnotabigtruckafrica gets lumped in with 00103:23
DocScrutinizer51it's actually mentioned in changelog or other docs shipping with N950 1.2beta03:23
*** antman8969 has joined #harmattan03:24
itsnotabigtruckoh yeah, it says that because of the downgrade rules03:24
itsnotabigtruckthe problem is that PR1.2beta shipped with 001 and 003 images only03:24
itsnotabigtruckso once you go to 003 you can't go back to 00103:24
itsnotabigtruckbut if they shipped an 009 image, or a final PR1.2 release, you could flash away from 00303:24

hiemanshuwhy didn't they just use opencv :/06:10
djszapiwell, for several reasons.06:11
hiemanshulike?06:12
djszapialso, when I last checked some opencv low-level library, it was a hilarious crap06:12
hiemanshuwell opencv is one of the best available out there06:14
itsnotabigtruckjust fyi something is crap, it isn't a crap :p06:14
JackaLXso where's this you-beaut video calling that Nokia made a point of bragging about in the notification that hit my phone last night for 1.2 update?06:23
djszapibut the point is that we do not need "out there" to get a crappy implementation06:24
djszapiwhenwe wrote a face recognition library on our own with my friend, it wasted our time a lot to understand what the heck they did with zillion lines...ended up dropping their concept altogether, go to the wikipedia, understand the theory, and code the method in few lines.06:25
hiemanshuopencv does a lot more than face detection, it uses haar cascades06:26
djszapiwe were discussing face detection06:26
djszapirecognition*06:26
hiemanshuyes06:27
hiemanshueven I meant that, but my point being extending opencv would be much more fun developer wise06:27

djszapithere is a way I said, and you insist on using a broken workflow07:47
* djszapi feels useless for help if it is not even considered in comparison with a broken workflow07:48
itsnotabigtruckreinstalling a package involves the hook scripts on both the old and new packages07:48
franz`http://pastebin.com/h2JzSUNh07:48
itsnotabigtruckso if you have a package installed with a b0rked postrm or something like that07:48
itsnotabigtruckthen installing a new one over it won't help07:48

itsnotabigtruckand thanks to aegis you can't hack the scripts in /var/lib/dpkg/info07:48
itsnotabigtruckwhich is what's often recommended07:48
itsnotabigtruckso you need --force-remove-fail07:48

djszapieven manually actually.07:49
itsnotabigtruckfranz`: you downloaded the latest one? how can it possibly fail!07:49
djszapiso let me consider myself useless for trying to help a,dn let you guys go with the broken workflow.07:49
itsnotabigtruckit does no error checking and redirects all output to stdout/err07:49
djszapiand of course a simple a modification back would have done it.07:49
djszapiso there are actually more cleaner way then forcing an action even on fail whichis heavily against any recommendation.07:51
djszapiand apparently even documentation.07:51
franz`wait hold on07:51
itsnotabigtruckdjszapi: force options are there for a reason07:51
itsnotabigtruckthere's a time for every flag07:51
itsnotabigtruckthis is the time for force-remove-fail07:51
djszapino07:51
djszapithis is a hack07:51
djszapiI said more cleaner way working07:51
djszapiyou can insist on being stubborn07:51
djszapiacleaner*07:52
itsnotabigtruckfranz`: what's strange is that installed/removed perfectly over here07:52
itsnotabigtruckmake sure there isn't any trace of it left around07:52
franz`~ # dpkg --get-selections | grep ad-hac07:53
franz`ad-hacpurge07:53
itsnotabigtrucke.g. maybe aegis left some old hashes in the refhashlist for some reason07:53
franz`that's what I get07:53
befordin completly unrelated news I got a new lap from my work. it has windows on it so i will install navifirm and your tutorial tomorrow itsnotabigtruck07:53
djszapiwelcome to the borked system07:53
itsnotabigtruckbeford: cool07:53
itsnotabigtruckfranz`: grep ad-hac /var/lib/aegis/refhashlist07:53
itsnotabigtruckls /var/lib/dpkg/info/ad-hac.*07:53
djszapiitsnotabigtruck: it would be nice if you do not recommend people such things as the "best solution".07:53
djszapiyou cansay, this is the best you can come up with.07:54
itsnotabigtruckdjszapi: force-remove-fail worked for me before...tbh i'm not sure what's going on07:54
itsnotabigtrucki don't think it has to do with the force07:54
djszapisure you know aegis better, too :D07:54
* djszapi afkk07:55
itsnotabigtruckwell no, i never said that :p on second thought perhaps force-remove-fail did screw up the hooks to update the hashes07:55
itsnotabigtruckfranz`: what happens if you install it a second time07:56
itsnotabigtrucki'll be back in 1507:56
itsnotabigtruckcafe is closing now07:56
franz`alright07:56
franz`lemme try07:56
franz`reinstalled a second time, it installs but still gives me that error exit status 307:59
franz`and the hashlist thing gave me this http://pastebin.com/8KEwEDkw07:59
JackaLXgah!  that'd be right... installed that "GTalk Video Call" and none of my gtalk contacts seem to have video capability at their end.  I have the best luck. LOL08:02
franz`wow, google is fast, googling for what does "error exit status 3" means, http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=subprocess+installed+post-removal+script+returned+error+exit+status+3&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8 my pastebin post is already there08:03
JackaLXfranz`: it is likely that pastebin updates their sitemap.xml file on google whenever somebody pastes something08:04
JackaLXor, you were very lucky to paste a second or two before googlebot arrived for the day :-)08:05
franz`haha08:05
*** beford has quit IRC08:05
itsnotabigtruckback08:06
itsnotabigtruckfranz`: back08:07
franz`hi08:07
itsnotabigtruckcan you patch the postrm script to what it was before?08:07
itsnotabigtrucki think that'll fix it...08:07
itsnotabigtruckit looks like it never really got removed08:07
JackaLXThe new "colour profile" setting... does anyone know if setting that to "vivid" is much of a drain on the battery?08:07
itsnotabigtrucki think errno 3 = EPERM08:08
itsnotabigtruck= an error that rarely occurs on non-aegis systems08:08
itsnotabigtruckit's normally reserved for e.g. chowning a file you don't own already08:08
franz`edited the postrm file08:09
franz`dpkg (subprocess): unable to execute installed post-removal script (/var/lib/dpkg/info/ad-hac.postrm): Operation not permitted08:09
itsnotabigtrucksha1sum it08:09
itsnotabigtruckif it doesn't match what was in the refhashlist it won't run08:09
itsnotabigtruckso it has to be byte for byte identical08:09
itsnotabigtrucksha1 = 539f606a11240a9947f27e96fb484ffe454456db08:09
franz`doesn't match lol08:10
itsnotabigtruckoh wait08:10
itsnotabigtruckthat's the sha1sum for the newest postrm08:10
itsnotabigtruckaegis loaded the hashes for the new files08:11
itsnotabigtruckhttps://crypty.ch/p/tenT5vot#3a17f817bc3f7450eadf716c9b4f299408:11
itsnotabigtruckput that inside postrm08:11
franz`just checking, editing the file with nano is fine right?08:12
franz`yeah back to error exit status 308:12
franz`so it's not the aegis hash08:12
itsnotabigtruckyup, nano is fine08:12
itsnotabigtrucksha1sum it again and make sure it's a match08:12
itsnotabigtruckmake sure there isn't a trailing newline08:12
franz`539f606a11240a9947f27e96fb484ffe454456db  /var/lib/dpkg/info/ad-hac.postrm08:12
franz`yep08:12
itsnotabigtruckwell that's "awesome"08:13
franz`lol08:13
itsnotabigtruckdon't worry, i'll get this cleaned up one way or another08:13
franz`haha no problem, I tried installing another deb just to see what happened, it works fine08:13
djszapiitsnotabigtruck: you would not waste your and others' time, if you listen to other tips carefully.08:14
djszapiit is fine, if you do not always have the best answers :)08:14
itsnotabigtruckwhat happens if you run the postrm script directly from the command line08:14
franz`runs normally08:14
itsnotabigtruckand what happens if you do dpkg --purge ad-hac again08:14
franz`same error exit status 308:15
itsnotabigtruckbut what about the output08:15
franz`http://pastebin.com/Nc5NZkEk08:15
itsnotabigtruckso still on the post-removal script, hrm08:15
franz`so what exactly does that EPERM error mean?08:16
itsnotabigtruckcp -a /var/lib/dpkg/status /root/; mv /var/lib/dpkg/info/ad-hac.* /root/08:16
itsnotabigtruckthen nano /var/lib/dpkg/status08:16
itsnotabigtruckand carefully edit out the lines about ad-hac08:17
itsnotabigtruckmaking sure not to break it08:17
itsnotabigtruck(if something goes wrong, that's what the backup was for)08:17
franz`ok08:17
itsnotabigtruckthen install the newest ad-hac deb again and i think it'll work08:17
itsnotabigtruckEPERM = Operation not permitted = what aegis returns if it doesn't like something08:18
itsnotabigtruckso more or less every aegis-related issue causes EPERM errors08:18
franz`ah, I see08:18
itsnotabigtruckwhat that normally means is a) running a binary with the wrong hash08:18
itsnotabigtruckb) trying to exercise a capability your process doesn't have08:19
franz` subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 308:23
franz`even after editing /var/lib/dpkg/status08:23
itsnotabigtruckok, so now it's failing on the postinst script08:23
franz`ad-hacinstall08:23
franz`it's marked as installed with --get-selections08:24
*** Necrosporus has quit IRC08:24
itsnotabigtruckdon't use that, use dpkg -l ad-hac08:24
itsnotabigtrucki think get-selections is showing what it's supposed to be, not what it is08:24
franz`oh08:24
itsnotabigtruckso if you tell it to purge and it fails, it remembers you tried to purge it08:24
franz`http://pastebin.com/CUGLykAG08:24
itsnotabigtruckinstalled - half-configured08:25
itsnotabigtruckwhich makes sense, that's what happened08:25
itsnotabigtruckhow about purging it again now08:25
itsnotabigtruckdpkg --purge ad-hac08:25
itsnotabigtruckthen check refhashlist and see if it remembers ad-hac still08:25
itsnotabigtruckgrep ad-hac /var/lib/aegis/refhashlist08:25
franz` subprocess installed post-removal script returned error exit status 308:25
franz`and refhashlist still remembers it08:25
itsnotabigtruckgah08:25
franz`remembers the postrm and postinst08:26
itsnotabigtruckmv /var/lib/dpkg/info/ad-hac.postrm /root/08:26
itsnotabigtruckdpkg --purge ad-hac08:26
itsnotabigtruckkinda forgot you could do that - i think that will make it think there isn't a postrm script to run08:27
franz`ooh, no errors!08:27
itsnotabigtrucknice08:27
itsnotabigtruckok, check refhashlist now08:27
itsnotabigtruckif it's clean you're good to go08:27
franz`it remembers postrm08:27
*** antman8969 has quit IRC08:27
franz`ls: /var/lib/dpkg/info/ad-hac.*: No such file or directory08:27
itsnotabigtruckit remembers postrm, as in postrm is still listed in aegis?08:28
itsnotabigtruckhmmm08:28
franz`still on refhashlist yes08:28
itsnotabigtruckbut if you install ad-hac now i think it'll overwrite that entry08:28
itsnotabigtruckas long as postinst is gone08:28
franz` subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 308:28
itsnotabigtruckso much for that08:29

sony123hi all09:23
sony123I have a question: WiFi scanning on my N9 is broken after a WiFi hotspot session09:23
sony123Anyone else experience this issue?09:24
djszapibrokeninwhatsense09:24
djszapibroken in what sense ?09:25
sony123No SSID are shown on the 'Connect to internet' list09:25
sony123I'm in US btw09:25
itsnotabigtrucksony123: once i make it not screw up your phone, you should install the package i'm working on :D it's a better way to enable ad-hoc for us users09:26
sony123Hi itsnotabigtruck09:27
itsnotabigtruckno idea about the actual problem though, heh09:27
sony123Acutally I have an app that does that, basically a GUI interface to set allow_adhoc to 109:27
itsnotabigtruckspoton?09:28
sony123yeah09:28
itsnotabigtruckis it your app09:28
sony123yes09:28
itsnotabigtruckah ok09:28
itsnotabigtruckit's a cool way to do it, but what i'm working on blocks adhoc from being disabled in the first place09:29
sony123I got tired of digging into terminal to enable allow_adhoc09:29
itsnotabigtruckso it's just always on09:29
sony123yeah that's a nicer way09:29
sony123So in your case, after your tethering session, the WiFi scanning still works?09:30
itsnotabigtruckno idea because i haven't actually used the wifi hotspot at all09:31
itsnotabigtruckthe method of toggling allow_adhoc shouldn't affect it either09:31
*** lamikr has joined #harmattan09:31
sony123Yeah I actually just use it once... so I didn't notice this weird behavior before...09:32
sony123I feel it's something else, either in joiku or harmattan system....09:33
sony123But I don't think I can file a bug report on that....09:33
*** Necrosporus has quit IRC09:33
sony123The use case is invalid :p09:34

sony123By the way, thanks djszapi for your earlier response regarding root access09:36
itsnotabigtruckwell, it doesn't sound like the use case is invalid09:37
itsnotabigtruckassuming that joikuspot is already closed09:37
itsnotabigtruckbut yeah, it's doubtful it's possible to get it fixed :(09:37
*** gabriel9 has quit IRC09:37
djszapisony123: I responded to you ? :P09:37
sony123Well the reason is... WiFi hotspot is crippled in US09:37
* djszapi has a very fragmented memory09:37
itsnotabigtruckmy guess is that pr1.3 is already pretty frozen already given the release schedules in the past09:37
djszapithat is not a real problem09:38
sony123It's a feature not a bug, so it's a use it at your own risk case09:38
djszapitheproblemis that we (or wellactually they from today) are afraid of regressions.09:38
itsnotabigtrucksony123: this is assuming that the bug applies outside of the US where the adhoc lock doesn't kick in09:38
sony123@djszapi I remember so...09:38
djszapisony123: pr1.3 is a bugfix release.09:38
djszapisony123: gladI helped you then :)09:39
itsnotabigtruckapparently apple's sales per annum are higher than qatar's GDP09:40

djszapido not go through too much trouble with that though09:44
sony123Sure09:44
sony123Btw, why isn't there a meltemi channel :)09:44
djszapithere is09:45
djszapiI registered it long ago09:45
djszapiabout bugreporting at this phase:09:45
fluxhm, is meltemi development going to have an "open" aspect in it?09:45
djszapiI do it only for my professional privde09:45
djszapipride*09:45
djszapiI do not expect or even hope for anything.09:45
djszapiflux: it is qt509:46
djszapiso it surely has a little bit of open aspect :P09:46
sony123That's interesting... I thought it's gonna be too tight to get released Qt 5 judging by the schedule09:47
djszapisony123: the qt5releaseschedulewasplanninglong ago09:47
sony123I googled by cannot find meltemi channel? So it's a closed one?09:47
djszapiplanned*09:47
djszapithere is a meltemi channel registered on freenode09:47
fluxdjszapi, and n9 uses Qt 4.7, so it's about as open then?-)09:48
itsnotabigtruckwith 1 person inside :p09:48
djszapiflux: no,qt5 had the open governance model09:48
flux(actually n9 has very open parts, so I'd like to see that with Meltemi as well)09:48
djszapithey backported it to qt4 though09:49
itsnotabigtruckgiven that meltemi is targeted as being an s40 replacement i can't imagine it's that interesting to anyone here (at least for personal use)09:49
djszapiwell, I am interested in that09:49
itsnotabigtruckthough i don't know...since you've worked on it i suppose you know if it's awesome09:50
djszapiif you mean the next billion...09:50
sony123oh I thought Qt 5 release is around summer... now realized WiKi says Q1 2012. That makes more sense...09:50
djszapisony123: nah, it is summer09:50
fluxso it's not going to be a high-end device. but it's going to run Linux and Qt5, so probably it's much nicer to develop than the current s40 phones.09:50
djszapiaround the contributors day09:50
djszapiI mean the final release.09:50
fluxI think the only way it's not going to be nice for developers is that it is crippled somehow09:50
djszapiflux: what do you mean by high-end ?09:51
fluxdjszapi, S40 = el cheapo, so not big and colorful screens, not the best cameras, not the biggest capacity, etc?09:51
djszapiI think what you forget is that less smart phones are also getting smart09:52
djszapiso it is not like you have a functionality for calling, and period.09:52
sony123meltemi is way better than s40....09:52
itsnotabigtruckflux: well, S40 = low priced "dumbphones" that run J2ME apps09:52
itsnotabigtruckthey're among the more sophisticated dumbphones out there, but yeah09:53
itsnotabigtruckmeltemi i assume is a lot more advanced than that09:53
djszapiplease use "next billion" instead of meltemi09:53
djszapithat is the public information09:53
djszapiand many Nokians cannot speak about non-public information here.09:53
fluxit's not only about the potential capabilities the devices could have, it's also about market segmentation09:53
djszapiso it makes the communication hard09:53
itsnotabigtruckbut still, if the goal is to mass produce very large amounts of them for developing markets09:53
fluxif meltemi phones are going to be cheaper, they also 'need' to have less features in order not compete with the high-end offerings09:53
fluxfor that purpose some of their features could be crippled. say, multitasking..09:54
itsnotabigtruckit's not going to be on expensive high performance hardware09:54
djszapi"if meltemi phones are going to be cheaper, they also 'need' to have less features in order not compete with the high-end offerings" -> that is not howthe market actually works09:54
fluxdjszapi, well, of course to compete with othe same price-range phones they need to be competitive in that aspect as well09:54
fluxbut not too competitive :P09:54
djszapiagain09:54
sony123Ok no problem I will use next billion from now on :)09:55
itsnotabigtruckand ah yeah, it's like how if somebody at the DoD browses wikileaks on an unclassified computer, they have to cleanse it as if it contains uber sekrit data09:55
djszapihow the market looks like from this pov here, cheaper phones get more and more features09:55
itsnotabigtrucksince the data is still considered SECRET09:55
djszapisony123: thanks, it helps me and others a lot.09:55
sony123sure, I hope you guys succeed on the next billion front09:56

tehdelyi would not mind a durable, 3rd-world-ready feature phone, running linux, with comparable innards to today's mid-range smartphones10:22

itsnotabigtruckunnamedfuturephone could be a nice intermediate step10:24
tehdelyand i am going to tinker with it for years10:24
tehdelyi think Nokia made the right move going with Windows Phone, too10:24
itsnotabigtruckbetween too much phone, and not enough phone10:24
djszapitehdely: yes, it is gonna remain here especially without a proper successor.10:24
tehdelyMicrosoft has crazy resources to throw at Windows Phone.  they reinvented the phone UI.  they lined up tons of developers to release apps, even without much of a market for them10:25
djszapimost importantly they /have/ testers !10:25

tehdelyMeeGo could be called MeToo, UI-wise.  the Swipe stuff is pretty innovative but otherwise it's just another icons-and-widgets smartphone OS10:25
tehdelyeverything rips off iOS basically.10:26
tehdelythe advantage of MeeGo is that you can actually tinker with it :)10:26
itsnotabigtruckit doesn't really feel like ios at all though10:26
tehdelyi _own_ my phone10:26
itsnotabigtruckin fact besides the home screen it doesn't really look like ios at all10:26
tehdelyWindows Phone is probably the most un-tinkerable smartphone OS out there10:26
itsnotabigtruckand it's not like apple owns the concept of a grid of icons10:26
tehdelyitsnotabigtruck: it's still buttons and sliders and icons and widgets10:26
tehdelyWP is the only OS that departs from those UI metaphors10:27
tehdelyit feels genuinely New10:27
itsnotabigtruckwell, it still has all those too, they're just less prominent10:27
itsnotabigtrucki have a zune hd, which has a pretty similar ui which is quite awesome, so i know wp7 must be pretty slick10:27

tehdelyi read today that Nokia has sold more N9s than Lumias10:28
tehdelynot surprising10:28
tehdelyNokia's smartphone customers, at least the ones that are left, are all fanboys :)10:28
tehdelymyself included10:28
itsnotabigtruckheh10:28
tehdelywe all know what _we_ wanted Nokia to do and are voting with our dollars and euros :P10:29
itsnotabigtruckthat and the lumia is one of many winphones10:29
tehdelybut the whole WP push is about getting all the customers that Nokia hasn't been able to reach10:29
tehdelyor used to reach, and lost10:29
itsnotabigtruckand it's not significantly different in any way but industrial design10:29
tehdelyNokia is completely irrelevant in the US.  WP will change that10:29
itsnotabigtruckthe people who want WP7, many of them already bought WP7 phones10:29
tehdelynah10:29
tehdelyi think most of the peoplw who want WP7 don't even know they want it yet10:29
tehdelythey haven't been exposed to it10:29
itsnotabigtruckif you want an N9, the only choice is to buy an N910:29
tehdelynone fo the carriers are pushing it10:29
tehdelynone of the other OEMs are really highlighting their windows phone10:30
tehdelywhereas Nokia is balls-deep in it10:30
itsnotabigtruckright, and lumia does ship with the nokia maps app10:30
tehdelylumia ships with a whole bunch of Nokia-exclusive stuff10:30
itsnotabigtruckno other phone has a navigation solution10:30
itsnotabigtruck*wp7 phone that is10:30
tehdelyMS and Nokia really need each other on this one.  it's a good "synergy"10:30
tehdelyi don't think Elop is some trojan horse out to wreck the company10:30
tehdelyeven if he's not taking it in the direction we dreamed...10:30
tehdelywe still have our phone10:30
itsnotabigtruckbut they pulled the plug on harmattan /after/ investing so much into it10:31
tehdelynot every pivot is pretty10:31
tehdelylook how much they invested in it and how rushed it still ended up being, and how little app support there was at launch10:31
tehdelyyou have to be a frickin' giant to launch a new mobile platform now10:32
itsnotabigtruckthis is like saying "we don't like this train route anymore, we're going to make another one"10:32
tehdelyand microsoft has just insane amounts of cash to pour into it10:32
tehdelythey will keep pouring cash into WP until it is successful10:32
itsnotabigtruckso they lift up the train tracks10:32
tehdelythey have no reason to stop10:32
itsnotabigtruckand the train flies off and crashes10:32
tehdelymicrosoft will accept crushing losses on something for 10 years if they think it'll eventually be a success10:32
tehdelysee: XBox10:32
itsnotabigtruckcounterpoint: zune10:33
tehdelyi think if/when WP is successful10:33

jreznikyupeee! /me was playing with jamendo api pre-pr 1.2 and qt mobility was so buggy, it was hardly usable - today I tried the first try, no changes at all and it works very well... one of the last missing app, stay tuned :)12:28
djszapijreznik: nifty :)12:28
Khertanitsnotabigtruck: yep what that package of n950, why ?12:29
jreznikhow to put it to store - ask them to restrict it for pr 1.2, just comment it, that pr 1.2 is recommended or runtime check in app?12:29
Khertanjreznik: lucky you are ... pr1.2 didn't bring improvment on qml text, and vkb behavior12:30
djszapijreznik: I would personally support all firmwares even without Ovi.12:30
djszapijreznik: that is, for instance, one reason I just copy/paste the qt-components elements into my project from my master, if it achieves better.12:31

Khertanswype vkb can't be close with a gesture12:34

Khertandjszapi: but i didn't want to play with activeFocusChanged as its fucked the hardware keyboard12:35
Khertan;)12:35
Khertandjszapi: ah ... oh did you do so ?12:35
djszapiat least, you will also have to check the GConf key to check whether Swype is the currently active IM12:35
Khertandjszapi: lost half of the screen when no need of keyboard ? having a edit / visualize mode ?12:36
Khertandjszapi: if you have better idea12:36
Khertani ll try them12:36
Khertandjszapi: example : https://twitter.com/#!/khertan/status/175117211399233536/photo/112:37
jreznikdjszapi: the problem is - it's somewhere in qt multimedia, maybe even gstreamer... I don't want to distribute half of the system for just a few lines of QML :)12:38
djszapiobviously, but can you find a simpler workaround ?12:38
djszapiKhertan: Not really. You only need some UI area that does not take focus, then touching there will hide VKB. Hence *that* tweet is wrong.12:39
Khertandjszapi: wrong ?12:39
*** heymaster has quit IRC12:40
*** heymaster has joined #harmattan12:40
Khertanthe rectangle in the top didn't take focus12:40
Khertanbut touching them didn't hide the vkb12:40
Khertanit s a pretty strange ux idea anyway12:40
djszapiOn a side note: QML2 has access to QInputMethod with Qt5.12:41
Khertandjszapi: and then, if you want to scroll the text ... virtual keyboard open up again12:41
Khertandjszapi: yeah ... and QWidget was working on Fremantle ...12:42

Khertan:)12:43
djszapiKhertan: Also what you said above should not happen at all; as in panning does not assign focus.12:43
djszapiThat is a bug in the QML code then or you are not using Qt Components at all (big mistake). I cannot help people who want to fuck themselves. :)12:44

*** adlan has quit IRC12:44
Khertandjszapi: i use TextEdit12:44
Khertandjszapi: as i ve other problem with TextArea12:45
Khertanwhich didn't want to display large text or scroll them12:45
Khertanit s funny that in 2012 with a framework which can do animation, hw accelerated transition, it s a such pain to made a simple text area to edit a 100 line text file ...12:46
jonnilast year I was playing with harmattan vkb detecion when I was coding qtwebkit to autoscroll to visible area when vkb opened, so input cursor didnt go under the vkb...12:46
djszapiText input in plain QML is pretty obiously borken, in Qt 4.x. That is why there are Qt components.12:46
Khertandjszapi: it s borked in QtComponent too12:46
djszapiif you cannot use Qt Components, you're on your own, and I cannot help there.12:46
Khertando a qt component TextArea ... write line ... it didn't follow the cursor and you can't see what you type12:47
Khertandjszapi: I can USE IT IF THEY WORK ...12:47
djszapinot as bad/in a different way; and in Qt Components, focus-out to close VKB works (by default, QML uses sticky focus)12:47
djszapiTextArea inside Flickable should work, should it not ...12:48
Khertandjszapi: focus out work ... yeah ... but not the rest12:48
Khertandjszapi: DID YOU EVER USE IT ?12:48
djszapiok you lost me.12:48
djszapithat is not true, you can see what you type. I can. It also does the visibility thingy, if you use a Page component. Obviously, yes, I did ;-)12:49
Khertanmaybe this is the reason ... there is none text editor availble for that plateform12:49
Khertandjszapi: show me a exemple so please12:50
djszapiQt Components widget gallery might be a good place for you to start.12:50
djszapiplateform is a quite funny word here in this context though ;)12:50
Khertandjszapi: yep12:50
Khertandjszapi: i ll try to write a simple example to demo you the problem12:52
Khertan(s)12:52
djszapisome people might say in this situation: "proper bug report or GTFO"12:54
Khertanhaha... and some might say ... "proper place to report ... GFTP"12:56
Khertandjszapi: take the default Component Gallery13:01

ZogG_N9is it me or pr1.2 breaks push notifications for apps? i mean not from nokia (xmms buddy)14:04
djszapiit is not a "drawback" in my opinion.14:04

ZogG_N9djszapi, when u use client on phone, it should provide the info14:07
djszapiwell, that is an entirely distinct approach.14:07
DocScrutinizer51maemo repo managed to build for lowest possible PR and offer for all PR rev that the pkg works with. OVI is too stupid for that14:07
ZogG_N9it shows only relevant apps14:07
djszapiit would mean, they allow developers to always work only with the latest image.14:07

djszapimost of them did not care about the user reports.14:08
djszapiat least from what I saw.14:08
djszapiit would not be any different with "please get it work on PR1.X".14:09

djszapianyway, this is certainly a fundamental principle I miss out of apps4meego :(14:12
ZogG_N9from phone 1st of all14:13
ZogG_N92nd android market knows if app works on certain versions and phone or tablet14:13
djszapias I said, it is a broken stance in my opinion14:14
ZogG_N9thats why all you need dependencies14:14
djszapinobody is gonna push developers to get it work for others.14:14
djszapicausing a lot of frustration from user pov.14:14
djszapiand since many app store apps are "dead-on-arrival"14:14
djszapithere might be apps doing the same to just get it work on a certain PR version.14:14
ZogG_N9there are pkgs in ovi that work only for certain prs14:15
djszapiand that is not really uncool.14:15
djszapithat is really uncool*14:15
ZogG_N9djszapi, who cares14:15
djszapiwho cares about doing the same thousand ways ?14:15
djszapiwell, I personally do.14:15
ZogG_N9there are already14:15
ZogG_N920 tourchlights and 1000 just image apps14:16
djszapihaving a broken stuff is hardly a good argument for getting it more broken.14:16
*** karbas_ has joined #harmattan14:16
ZogG_N9thats why rating is important14:16
karbas_n9 got bricked. ota-upgrade failed and used nsu to update and it failed14:16
karbas_any ideas how to fix it? :)14:17
djszapialso, different packages do not just make any sense i ncertain cases.14:17
djszapikarbas_: failed in what sense ?14:17
djszapibecause distinct packages are not reasonable if you need to import a qt-components element for instance14:17
karbas_djszapi, it hanged in 91%14:17
Arkenoiwhat is really uncool is thousands of bookmarks claiming to be "apps"14:17
djszapiif you need to do it anyway, why not just do it once and for all versions ?14:17
Arkenoiand videos and other crap14:17
djszapiinstead of having X separate packages ?14:17
Arkenoiand no way to filter it out14:17
djszapiArkenoi: agreed.14:17
ZogG_N9djszapi, again, dont see problem in ios or android14:18
ZogG_N9their markets doing better anyway14:18
djszapiI tend to disagree14:18
djszapiI need to pay 25 EUR for getting into the android market14:18
djszapithat is the entry level14:18
ZogG_N9what?14:18
djszapiwhich is rather cumbersome, if my attention (of course btw) to just make free apps.14:18
RST38hand that is obviously too expensive, isn't it?14:18
Arkenoidjszapi, i am afraid it is intentional by Nokia to create false impression "there is a lot of stuff in Ovi store" while actually there was not. But.. now there is _really_ a lot of stuff, so why keeping crap?14:18
RST38hyou do know that nokia also charges for entry into Ovi ($1 when I entered)?14:19
ZogG_N9and i cant disturb my app coz it would work on pr1.2 only14:19
djszapiArkenoi: the problem is that behind it, for instance, many subcontractors were paid for making applications, and getting paid according to the number of applications.14:19
ZogG_N9would say i made video calls14:19
RST38hdare you also aware that Ovi Store tends to pay publishers whenever it considers convinient, like once 3-4 months or so?14:19
djszapiArkenoi: and they messed up the store this way.14:19
ZogG_N9but u cant get it as it ovi policy with pr1.014:19
djszapiRST38h: no14:19
djszapiI entered OVi for free14:20
djszapianybody can do that14:20
RST38hok, now you know14:20
ZogG_N9djszapi, 1euro14:20
RST38hApple's AppStore is $99 + your rectal virginity14:20
ZogG_N9i paid14:20
djszapiZogG_N9: it was for free to me14:20
RST38hAnd developers still flock there like crazy14:20
djszapiyou are getting funny with knowing better how I did :)14:20
jreznikdjszapi: yeah, many people were doing lot of easy stuff for nokia :) I'm not proud of it but...14:21
ZogG_N9you are not all devs14:21
djszapiand 1 EUR >< 25 EUR even in simple cases.14:21
djszapijreznik: we discussed that with the Qt folks at the meetup, this really happened :(14:21
djszapimake X apps into OVI, and you get Y14:21
ZogG_N9but profits from android app are higher =) and support and how it works =)14:21
RST38hneither eur1 nor eur25 makes much of a difference14:21
RST38hbut Ovi Store not paying any money for 4 monnths does14:22
djszapiRST38h: it does if I can send it to my starving mum instead !14:22
djszapi(not joking, that is real)14:22
RST38hdjszapi: it will buy your starving mum at most 2 days14:22
djszapithe days do not matter.14:22
RST38hnot sure if it makes that much of a difference, although you surely know better14:22
djszapiwhat matters I can send it to her instead of an app store where my apps are for free14:22
jreznikdjszapi: yeah, I know, I was part of it - usually - we need an app by Friday, wait, it's Thursday evening! but actually one is quite useful :) and another completely useless has thousands downloads (and symbian version hundred thousand downloads)14:23
jreznikso users probably wants this kind of "funny" apps14:23
*** Hq` has left #harmattan14:23

jreznikwhat I hate more are are that RSS apps - should be in own category and then I have nothing against it14:24

djszapinot really, no14:31
djszapithe aegis side is prepared for that, though.14:31
djszapitoo bad, if the system services guys do not use its power14:32
RST38hArkenoi: Ok, I assume whatever that package does, it does not do vidoe chat14:32
djszapiand ovi needs to catch this thing, but anyway, reporting is being done and hopefully Ovi investigate more.14:32

jreznikbut I was really surprised that they accepted restart14:40
djszapiyep, that is strange.14:41
jreznikovi guys are... 5-7 business days - one of my symbian app is there three weeks without touching it (but it was for the conference, so I'm going to remove it, just I was curious)14:41
djszapiwell, then free app authors can say, they do not give a shit for other pr users :(14:41
RST38hno, 5-7 business days is what it takes them to answer your single email14:41

jrezniktry to call me14:50

djszapi(Y)14:52
Arkenoijreznik, works, but your image was very distorted14:52
djszapijreznik: works with Arkenoi or me ?14:52
jreznikdjszapi: I understand it - you have to allow the camera - that's probably the reason I couldn't see you14:52
jreznikdjszapi: both14:52
djszapiyes14:53

paotherwise i will file a bug17:52
tehdelypa: i'm on PR1.217:52
tehdelyand i have 3 MfE accounts17:52
tehdelyonly one has the option to sync contacts17:52
tehdelyit's obviously deliberate.17:52
pathat sucks.. no one has filed a bug report yet?17:52
pabut it sucks..17:53
tehdelyhow would you define the syncing behavior if you synced with more than one exchange server?17:53
tehdelyi consider that sort of an edge case17:53
tehdelyand you still have access to the GAL17:53
pawell, one way is that if you add a contact on the phone, it is added to all the MfE accounts17:54
paanother option is that you get prompted to which account you add it17:54
tehdelyok but what about syncing contacts down17:54
tehdelylet's say you have your work and your home MfE accounts17:54
Khertanyou choose to sync ... it s sync ...17:54
tehdelyyou enable contacts sync on both17:54
tehdelyyou get the contacst from both?17:54
payes17:54
Khertanasking user where to  ... how to everytime ... it s borring17:54
tehdelydo the contacts stay separate?17:54
tehdelyor do the contacts synced down from one17:54
pano they merge17:54
tehdelyget synced up to the other17:54
tehdelyso eventually both mfE accounts have the same contacts17:55
paah17:55
tehdelythere's only one address book17:55
pawell you shouldnt sync it back17:55
tehdelyso then the software will have to keep track of which contacts came from where17:55
pai mean, each contact should have its provenance17:55
pawell.. it's doable isnt it?17:55
tehdelycan you see why they didn't implement this feature :17:55
paandroid supports such things17:55
tehdelylet us not mention that other OS17:56

tehdelyi hold incontrovertible proof17:56
pait's not a sci-fi request17:56
tehdelyit's doable but it's a pain in the ass.  and what you're asking for is an edge case17:56
tehdelybarring implementing it yourself, i don't imagine Nokia's going to add that feature17:56
paedge case?17:56
tehdelyyes.  syncing contacts from more than one exchange account is an edge case17:57
paon an N series i dont think having more than one exchange account is an edge case17:57
tehdelyhow many people even have more than one exchange account (yes, i am one, but still)17:57
tehdelywell it's better than symbian, where you got one exchange account, period :)17:57

paand the nice part of that other OS is that you can switch off one account, and the related contacts are hided18:00
paswitch it on again, you see them again18:00
tehdelythen it must keep separate address books for each source18:03
tehdelywhich is someting i don't think harmattan does18:03
tehdelythat would obv. be necessary to implement what you want18:03
Khertanor keep the source18:03
*** dragly has quit IRC18:03
tehdelyyes or perhaps that18:03
tehdelytagging each contact with where it came from18:03
paanyway, im filing a bug report about it now18:03
pait's also funny that symbian sync sms and harmattan does not18:04
Khertani would prefer they fix other os problem before enhancing account syncing18:04
pabut account syncing is also important18:05

itsnotabigtrucktehdely: the problem is that he's gutting practically everything that gave nokia a compettive edge18:12
itsnotabigtruckeverything is being unloaded, outsourced, or shut down18:12
pawell.. between killing symbian and killing meego, i would have killed symbian :)18:12
itsnotabigtruckand yeah, they're still launching more symbian phones, those are phones that should have been running harmattan18:12
pabut i can also understand why keeping symbian18:12
itsnotabigtruckthough they're also launching too many phones still, they need to take a hint from companies like apple18:13
itsnotabigtruckapple has just one phone, it's THE apple phone18:13
itsnotabigtruckhistorically nokia always does 80 zillion permutations of everything and only a couple are actually any good18:13
itsnotabigtruckwould be better to focus that into 2 or 3 models like a laser18:13
tehdelyall i've seen under Elop18:14
CissWitthey do it now, with windows.18:14
tehdelyis that Nokia is starting to meet deadlines again18:14
tehdelysymbian iterations are coming out faster, and on time18:14
tehdelyhell, Belle released globally on the same day... when has that ever happened?18:14
*** leinir has joined #harmattan18:14
itsnotabigtrucktehdely: they already unloaded their symbian development18:14
tehdelyi'm in North America, i'm used to getting my firmware 2 months after you18:14
itsnotabigtruckthey hired a contractor to maintain it18:14
tehdelyitsnotabigtruck: yes and it was a great move18:14
tehdelyaccenture's doing a better job than Nokia was18:14
itsnotabigtruckharmattan was heavily outsourced and now it's being shut down18:14
itsnotabigtruckapparently they sold their in-house baseband system18:15
tehdelywell I have a Harmattan phone in my hand.  it's beautiful and I love it and I will use it for years and I intend to hack on it, too.  but Nokia wants to excite people beyond its base of fanboys18:15
patehdely, as far as you know, is it possible to "disable" some contacts in gmail, and having them not downloaded to the phone?18:15
paor perhaps an entire group18:15
itsnotabigtrucktehdely: harmattan could have totally excited people18:15
tehdelyi am a certified Nokia fanboy18:15
itsnotabigtruckthey should have renamed it back to maemo6 though18:15
tehdelynobody else in the US is18:15
tehdelyWindows Phone can sell18:15
itsnotabigtruckthat would take care of the whole "meego, didn't they cancel meego"18:15
tehdelyitsnotabigtruck: rebranding it wouldn't be a bad idea but at this point what's the use18:16
tehdelythey've already declared their intention not to release another one, ya know18:16
itsnotabigtruckwell, nobody in the us is aware of it since they didn't launch here and did zero marketing here18:16
itsnotabigtruckhell, they did zero marketing in countries that they DID launch it in18:16
itsnotabigtruckwhich is another problem with nokia - they don't launch everywhere and launch hard18:16
tehdelythey did that because they want this phone to go quietly into the night18:16
tehdelythe people who want this phone will seek it out and buy it18:17
itsnotabigtrucktrue, but that latter problem's been a problem for a long time18:17
tehdelythey don't want to push a stillborn platform with very little developer support18:17
tehdelytake a look at WP718:17
itsnotabigtruckand also you were just saying that harmattan wouldn't excite people in the us18:17
tehdelythe user numbers are abysmal18:17
tehdelybut MS lined up every company to make an app for it18:17
tehdelyif you're a guy in the US who's never bouth a Nokia phone, and you get this (very pretty) WP handset heavily marketed to you, and it alreayd has apps for everything you want to do...18:17
*** slingr has quit IRC18:18
itsnotabigtrucktrue18:18
tehdelyelop's move was about platforms.  harmattan is this beautiful, quirky thing that some poeple love.  i've had it for two days (long-time symbian user before that).  i'm in love18:19
tehdelybut i probably would have bought this phone if it came in a pile of shit with a letter from Elop saying "Dear Mike; Fuck you"18:19
itsnotabigtrucklol18:19
tehdelymost people would have ignored it without a good selection of apps18:19
tehdelyand somethign that really stood out to them as "this is new"18:19
tehdelyswipe UI is nice18:19
tehdelybut Metro feels a lot more "new"18:19
*** etrunko has quit IRC18:19

tehdelyMetro is a reinvention of how you interact with your phone.  it's the first genuinely original thing to come out of MS in ages18:20
pais it just me who thinks that metro sucks?18:20
tehdelyi think it will be a big hit once somebody steps up to the plate and really sells a windows phone18:20
tehdelythe carriers hate WP and refuse to aggressively sell it; it's not just the phone mfgrs18:20

tehdelywhen you can sell the Droid Charge Infuse Motivate Invigorate, with all of your carrier bloatware installed and half of the features removed18:21
pai had a windows phone for a few hours, i also tried windows  8 developer preview, and well.. it just sucks..18:21

itsnotabigtruckwell, the N9's gradient icons aren't really minimalism18:22
tehdelyNokia has to somehow come out with something appealing enough that the sales guy at my local AT&T store will push it as hard as the Samsung Dodecahedrally Orgasmiate X 2834 F18:22

pai think a properly supported and developed harmattan would easily outrun android18:24
itsnotabigtruckeh, it's impossible to "outrun" android at this point18:24
itsnotabigtruckbut it's possible to be in android's league18:24
pawell18:25
itsnotabigtruckit would have been possible to outrun wp718:25
paharmattan would be always faster than android, at least harmattan applications18:25
itsnotabigtruckyeah, but android has a zillion vendors backing it and a LOT of momentum18:25
tehdelythe advantage of Android is that it has no personality and people expect nothing from it18:25
paand i tell you: no android user i know is happy with their phone sluggish performance18:25
itsnotabigtruckit's the single most popular platform afaik18:25
tehdelyit's a substrate that handset mfgrs and carriers can build upon18:25
tehdelyto sell you some already-obsolete piece of shit18:25
itsnotabigtruckthat's a major issue18:26
tehdelythere's really nothing in it for the user except that maybe they got a cheaper phone with a fatter CPU in it18:26
itsnotabigtruckwell, what's in it for the user is a mindboggling number of apps18:26
itsnotabigtruckthe java environment isn't so hot, and the carriers/manufacturers update releasing is deplorable18:26
itsnotabigtruckbut android works and it works with loads of apps18:26

itsnotabigtruckmy N9 does all the core stuff, but even if nokia turned harmattan up to eleven18:27
itsnotabigtruckthere'd never be everything18:27
pawhat do you miss?18:27
itsnotabigtruckyou can get everything for iphone or android18:27
pado you really need a zillion of apps?18:27
itsnotabigtruckit's not so much things in particular, it's more like, some quirky new app comes out that does something cool18:27
paas long as it does what you need, who cares about zillions of apps?18:28
itsnotabigtruckor a frontend for your bank/favorite news website/whatever that's super stylish18:28
tehdelyand the approach microsoft has taken with WP718:28
tehdelyhas been18:28
tehdely"we can't get everything, but let's get absolutely ONE OF everything"18:28
tehdely"and line up every hot web 2.0 service and every company and lean on them, maybe even throw money at them, to make sure there's an app"18:28
itsnotabigtruckthe point is, if it's a basic task, harmattan does it18:28
tehdelyand not only an app, but a very classily designed app18:28
itsnotabigtruckif it doesn't come with the OS, somebody's made an app for it18:28
itsnotabigtruckbut if it exists, there's an app for it for android or iphone18:28
itsnotabigtruckand a lot of those apps are damned cool18:29
tehdelyif it exists, there's probably _one_ app for it for WP7, and it's slick as hell18:29
pai dont see this  as a problem, im sorry..18:29
itsnotabigtruckpa: then you're one of those apologists who tries to ignore the major factor of a smartphone platform18:29
itsnotabigtruckwhich is app support18:29
*** gabriel9 has quit IRC18:29
itsnotabigtruckevery time you have a platform with limited 3rd party support you have everyone coming to its defense saying "i don't need apps"18:30
paand if i were nokia, i would have rather supported Qt for android. Qt is so much cooler than anything else, let people use it for android, and they will port the app to harmattan18:30
itsnotabigtruckyes you do18:30
itsnotabigtruckon the other hand, on WP7 you have stuff like that guy who made 100 super-generic apps and published them for $2 before wp7 came out18:30

itsnotabigtruckyeah, like you said, harmattan is a linux, and that means you have access to so many programs built for standard linux18:33
tehdelyi bought a harmattan phone because i can make my own apps for it with more ease than i probably can for any other platform, and they can actually hook into the OS where I want them to18:33
itsnotabigtruck*with this app business18:33
payeah you just need a touch friendly interface18:33

pai have to modify it, tho, as soon as i have time19:51
itsnotabigtruckit's simply a matter of modifying the desktop19:51
paand write the ip address in two lines, like this is not always readable19:51
itsnotabigtruckmy program uses glib (which has a parser that knows the .desktop file format)19:51
itsnotabigtruckbut simply doing a text search/replace often works19:52
itsnotabigtruckthat seems like an ugly application fora live icon though19:52

jonniZogG_laptop: sorry didnt understand the question.-20:12
DrGrovEvening20:13
DrGrovEverything went well with the PR 1.2 update for the N9. But I wonder, why does the phone turn itself on when I am charging it? The power was off and on PR 1.1 it charges without powering up.20:13
paah so..20:13
pasymlinks are not permitted in harmattan..20:13

djszapiit is aegisfs too.20:14
djszapicould you please present a scenario what you are now trying to achieve ?20:14

jonnihe wants to do that because mass-storage mode hides .-dirs20:14
ZogG_laptopjonni: the problem we talked earlier, that there is only 1.0 in qtsdk20:14
pai am trying to link the directory .CallRecorder to "CallRecorder"20:15
djszapipa: I know what ln does :)20:15
paso that i can see in the file browser without enabling hidden files20:15
jonniZogG_laptop: yep because you are only allowed to use 1.0 API's on ovi store apps.20:15
pabut yeah, no symlinks no party20:15

ZogG_laptopjonni: f Ovi20:16
pai dont want to see hidden files and directories in a mobile file browser, honestly20:16
DrGrovApparently no one else is annoyed by this charging thing... LOL :)20:16
DrGrovIs it a setting or such that makes it turn itself on when I charge?20:17
DrGrovSecond question... What happened to the Online/Offline status bar on the drop-down menu on main screen?20:18
DrGrovI do not see it anymore...20:18
jonnidepends, on rd mode it autoboots on pr 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2. And on normal mode it depends what what state it was before it was closed and how it was closed.20:19
DrGrovjonni: I closed it without any running apps, a clean turn off of the device.20:20
jonniclosed from commandline or ui?20:20
*** jluisn has joined #harmattan20:20
jonniand if you close it from ui again while charging cable is in, does it autoreboot again?20:21
DrGrovjonni: UI. It rebooted itself once I upgrade to PR 1.2 and then I turned it off and wanted to charge it.20:21
DrGrovjonni: I have not tested yet to turn it off when I have the charging cable in. It did it once for me on PR 1.1 that it started once I plugged in the charging cable. Just once though. That happened because I put the cable a bit too slow and it got connection and powered on.20:22
DrGrovBut then I closed the phone and plugged back the charging cable to charge it and it did not turn itself on anymore like it did the first time.20:22
DrGrovjonni: Could the DIY OperatorLogo app cause the phone to start itself when I charge?20:25
itsnotabigtruckDrGrov: doubt it20:25
itsnotabigtruckalso, it *always* starts when you attach to usb, into "act dead" (charging) mode20:25
DrGrovitsnotabigtruck: Hi. Ok, good to know. I thought since that is the last thing I installed.20:25
jonniagaik no, afaik charging behaviour has not changed in pr1.220:25
itsnotabigtruck(well, i can't speak as to what happens if you turn on rd-mode)20:25
*** merlin1991 has quit IRC20:25
itsnotabigtruckit's not supposed to boot all the way though20:26
DrGrovWell, it did turn up a USB cable picture when I plugged it in. Strange, perhaps it thought it was going to be in USB mass storage mode.20:26
itsnotabigtruckthe updated NOLO in PR1.2 shows a usb icon whenever usb is attached20:26
itsnotabigtruckthat includes usb chargers20:26
DrGrovYes, that is the icon I saw.20:26
itsnotabigtruckbut after the NOKIA screen shows up for a while, you should just get a battery icon20:27
itsnotabigtruckinstead of booting all the way into the os20:27
DrGrovPerhaps it did not want to stay in "act dead mode" because of that20:27
DrGrovYes, I should get the battery icon. But I will try again later once I get it fully charged and checked a few things. THen I will try again to see if it boots itself all the way or not.20:27

DrGrovBut one thing I saw is that the Availability which shows online or offline status was missing from the drop-down menu where I see the profile, bluetooth etc.20:30
itsnotabigtruckwhat do you mean?20:30
DrGrovWhen I press the top "bar" where the operator name is it shows me the profile, volume, bluetooth etc.20:30
DrGrovBut on PR 1.1 it showed me the availability as offline but not anymore. It is completely missing, it was the 3rd option at the end.20:31
itsnotabigtruckhrm20:31
DrGrovCould it be because I only have 1 account and that being the Nokia account?20:31

itsnotabigtruckso, if all that had to be done is turn it on, any idea why this wasn't integrated into pr1.2?21:59
itsnotabigtruckit would be nice if at least the enabler package were in the repositories so novel connection managers could depend on it22:00
djszapiwhat you need to understand in the first place in general: simple thing != no high risks for regressions.22:00
paZogG_laptop, means no? :)22:00
itsnotabigtruckas it stands, if i understand correctly, since the enabler is closed source and not in the repos, every new video-calling enabled telepathy connection manager now has to implement its own version of video-call-installer22:01
itsnotabigtruckespecially since the latter is closed source22:01
itsnotabigtruckbut that would cause major problems on its own, with different video calling hacks conflicting with each other22:01

itsnotabigtruckare you sure those weren't the updates to the preinstalled games22:49
itsnotabigtruckthe racing and golf games are huge22:49
DrGrovYes, updates to the preinstalled games. Some minor other updates as well, AccuWeather.22:49
itsnotabigtruckthey were updated as part of PR1.2 but the updates install separately from the OTA upgrade22:49
itsnotabigtruckbut since the updates are part of the 1.2 flash images, that doesn't count :p22:49
itsnotabigtruckalso preinstalled apps aren't retrieved from the ovi store22:50

itsnotabigtruckwell, it has to be possible to get it to play "external 720p x264 videos" with the right settings -if- it uses h.264 for the video it records23:04

pain any case i dont really care anymore, since it plays its own 720p stuff, and for the rest, i probably dont have anything 720p baseline already, so i would have to reencode anyway23:48
pathen i can do it 480, as the screen is 480, and the video out is analog composite23:48
npmit actually has problems playing 480p from youtube, pr 1.0 didn't23:48
paif it's high profile , i guess it does23:48
pa(and yes, it probably is)23:49
jonnim.youtube.com doesnt use high profile though, atleast I havent seen any yet.23:49
paah, then there are some problems23:49
npmi tried all manner of disk and network playback in http://nielsmayer.com/meego/qml/qmltube.xhtml on pr1.2 and pr1.0 and imho it got slower on video23:50
npmit used to be able to play back 720p video for a while until the audio went out of synch or got quiiet23:50
jonnimight be that qmltube doesnt filter out high profile videos as it should23:51
npmit just uses the mobile download rates provided. works fine in "high quality mode" but that's trivial23:52
npmyou can set 360p 480 720 and 1080 (at least on my home version)23:52
npmand it'll do the right thing on my linux desktop (which was the point, getting it portable)23:53
npmbut telling it to explicitly download at 480p now, or playback will cause failure when it didn't before23:53
npmit's about the only thing that got worse, other than the scrolling text blur issue that nobody seems to see other than myself :-)23:54
jonnifor 3rd party youtube client pr1.2 might be pickier on detecting framedrops, whereas I havent seen any problems in the native youtube client.23:55
npmit crashes the app. that's very picky23:56
itsnotabigtruckisn't the "native youtube client" a web link andhtml5 video tags?23:56
npmand the app uses standard Qt Mobility video player23:56
npmhttp://nielsmayer.com/meego/qml/qmltube_1.11.1_armel.deb   or ... svn checkout http://ytd-meego.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/playground/qmltube ; qtcreator qmltube/qmltube.pro23:57
npmsomeone feel free to fix it. i'm Two apps behind :-)23:58
