Tronic | Any news on the overclocking side? | 00:27 |
itsnotabigtruck | Tronic: not that i'm aware of...the problem is that no one with the knowledge to do it is willing to make the module and distribute it | 00:31 |
itsnotabigtruck | Tronic: perhaps you could see to it, given that no one else is | 00:31 |
itsnotabigtruck | it's definitely possible, rainisto mentioned on FMC he's already done it himself | 00:32 |
Tronic | I have no idea how to compile kernel modules for Harmattan, to start with., | 00:34 |
itsnotabigtruck | Tronic: it's surprisingly easy | 00:35 |
Tronic | Also no idea on how to do the frequency setting. | 00:35 |
Tronic | I suppose the "surprisingly easy" part involves setting up scratchbox. I only have Qt SDK. | 00:35 |
itsnotabigtruck | i forget the command but you point make to the kernel tree and to your source | 00:35 |
itsnotabigtruck | and kbuild takes care of the rest | 00:35 |
itsnotabigtruck | yeah, you need scratchbox, and also the headers package for what you're building against | 00:36 |
itsnotabigtruck | you need to get scratchbox anyway | 00:36 |
itsnotabigtruck | everyone doing anything serious needs itsooner rather than later, and i don't understand why it has so little uptake within this channel | 00:36 |

itsnotabigtruck | ieatlint: the new openmoko phone, however, costs a *lot* | 05:07 |
itsnotabigtruck | and i'm not under the impression it's very usable as a smartphone, really | 05:08 |
itsnotabigtruck | useful though if your priority #1 is knowing exactly what's on your phone, and hacking on stuff | 05:08 |
itsnotabigtruck | on the other hand, these days the n9 costs significantly less than $600, and it's completely usable as a smartphone | 05:09 |
keitsi | n9 costs 299e in finland... though they're out of stock for now | 05:10 |
itsnotabigtruck | also dammit, didn't realize teleshoes would leave so soon | 05:10 |
ieatlint | itsnotabigtruck: yeah... i wish i had the money to throw on it right now though | 05:12 |
itsnotabigtruck | it might be cool to have a gsm850 openmoko g1 | 05:13 |
itsnotabigtruck | it doesn't look like anybody stocks those these days and they're pretty rare in general | 05:13 |
itsnotabigtruck | well, g2 i guess, the freerunner | 05:13 |
ieatlint | i have a gta02 | 05:14 |
ieatlint | 850mhz in fact | 05:14 |
ieatlint | but 666eur for the gta04.. | 05:15 |
itsnotabigtruck | = just shy of $900 with today's exchange rates | 05:15 |
keitsi | I paid 699 for my N9 :P | 05:15 |
itsnotabigtruck | keitsi: E or US$ | 05:16 |
keitsi | e | 05:16 |
itsnotabigtruck | that's...way too much money for an N9 :p | 05:16 |
keitsi | well, I needed a new phone ASAP, didn't want an android or iPhone | 05:17 |
itsnotabigtruck | i thought the N9 started around US$700 | 05:17 |
itsnotabigtruck | i.e. around 500 eur | 05:17 |
keitsi | when they hit the stores, the price was 700e for a while | 05:17 |

pa | and then pushing WinPhone, that does not support Qt | 16:32 |
faenil | not yet | 16:34 |
pa | will it ever support it officially? | 16:34 |
faenil | probably not officially, but who cares | 16:35 |
faenil | but I'm sure Qt support will come from the community as soon as they give us the official NDK | 16:36 |
faenil | and the bigger Qt becomes, the easier it gets to port it to other platforms (see. WP) | 16:37 |

luke-jr | AFAIK, the WinPhone contract forbids Nokia from porting Qt to it | 17:39 |
faenil | then community will make it :) where's the prob...one guy alone made Qt for Android in 9 months (preprealpha) | 17:40 |
itsnotabigtruck | luke-jr: but i thought they already did port qt to it | 17:43 |
itsnotabigtruck | but it might never see the light of day | 17:43 |
itsnotabigtruck | it might be for internal use only | 17:44 |
itsnotabigtruck | and pa: i think it's well known that meltemi/nextbil includes some meego code, but it's definitely not meego | 17:45 |
itsnotabigtruck | the original story is a huge distortion and everyone's been reblogging it without any fact checking | 17:45 |
itsnotabigtruck | http://appscout.pcmag.com/mobile-apps/268765-nokia-no-qt-for-windows-phone-7 hrm | 17:46 |
faenil | itsnotabigtruck, we know that, MSFT doesn't want to use more than one SDK, bla bla bla | 17:48 |
pa | anyway, qtmobility should also start wrapping basic harware features, like radio, wifi, and so on, otherwise apps using these sensors/devices wont be portable | 17:50 |
pa | or rather cross-platform, sorry | 17:50 |
faenil | problem is qtmobility is not working anywhere correctly | 17:56 |
pa | well, for contacts it works (on harmattan) | 17:57 |
pa | more or less at least, i didnt do any advanced stuff | 17:57 |
faenil | yeah, but harmattan and symbian are the only ones offering partial support | 17:58 |
faenil | it's at early stages on Android, iOS, QNX ports | 17:58 |
pa | well yeah, but those are not official ports | 17:59 |
pa | you should blame those who implemented it, not nokia/qt | 18:00 |
faenil | pa | 18:01 |
faenil | pa, I know, but what we care about is how crossplatform our software is, as you pointed out :) | 18:02 |
faenil | pa, anyway, I get your point and agree | 18:02 |
faenil | but isn't wifi management already included in mobility? | 18:04 |
pa | i dont know, but probably not. i've been looking everywhere for switching wlan on/off without success | 18:04 |

teleshoes | in america! | 20:56 |

*** faenil has quit IRC | 20:57 | |
teleshoes | such bullshit how they wont even fix an n900 anymore | 20:57 |
teleshoes | if you send it in, they basically confiscate it | 20:57 |
DocScrutinizer | where they rather give you a C7 or similar crap, maybe an N8, rather than fixing your N900 on warranty | 20:57 |
teleshoes | at least what they give you has value on the market | 20:57 |
teleshoes | but its a hassle to sell it and then buy another n900 | 20:58 |
DocScrutinizer | no manufacturer may *confiscate* MY device | 20:58 |
DocScrutinizer | they damn better at very least return the unfixed device to me | 20:59 |
DocScrutinizer | or they send a dude to Hongkong to get me a new one | 21:00 |
DocScrutinizer | I'd definitely not accept any such scam like giving me crappy "replacement" N8 or whatever | 21:01 |

DocScrutinizer | what a gashead ever came up with the idea for policy to get rid of spare parts before even the 2 years warranty period from 1st time to marjket expired, that dude deserves some proper treatment | 21:06 |
DocScrutinizer | and since THAT incident Nokia basically is a no-go for me | 21:07 |
DocScrutinizer | I mean I probably still get spare parts for my 12 year old 6210, originally from Nokia | 21:08 |
DocScrutinizer | and even a written and by-law warranty not being worth the paper it's written on, well that makes me just sad | 21:09 |
teleshoes | yea | 21:09 |
DocScrutinizer | "OK you paid for it, now please forget the address and even name of Nokia" | 21:10 |
DocScrutinizer | basically you can buy things from such rogue manufacturer only with a 10 year leasing contract | 21:11 |

DocScrutinizer | I mean my investment into sw to run on that and *only* on that device/platform could easily be multiple of the original device value | 21:12 |
DocScrutinizer | not to mention my investment into spare time I spend to tweak the thing to match my needs | 21:13 |
DocScrutinizer | I must be god's favourite idiot to develop for such platform and plan to *sell* my stuff | 21:14 |
DocScrutinizer | odds are the platform is obsolete before my development ready for rollout | 21:14 |

itsnotabigtruck | ajalkane: ping | 23:28 |
itsnotabigtruck | anyone know of any good libraries for *nix that provide things like file opening, porcess spawning, etc. | 23:30 |
faenil | fork? :D | 23:31 |
javispedro | libc? =) | 23:32 |
itsnotabigtruck | x_x | 23:32 |
itsnotabigtruck | the c library functions have less than ideal interfaces and result in a massive heap of boilerplate code | 23:33 |
javispedro | well, there's glib on the device, but some say it actually adds more boilerplate | 23:33 |
itsnotabigtruck | also it doesn't matter for this, but the standard c functions are entirely insufficient for anything serious, and posix functions are unportable | 23:33 |
itsnotabigtruck | right, something like glib, but glib appears to be actually rather lacking in the file i/o department | 23:34 |
*** oberling_ is now known as oberling | 23:34 | |
javispedro | because there's gio for that | 23:34 |
javispedro | albeit gio is hardly lightweight | 23:34 |
DocScrutinizer | omg | 23:35 |
javispedro | hello DocScrutinizer | 23:35 |
DocScrutinizer | hi :-D | 23:36 |
DocScrutinizer | I could hardly think of any lib facilitating fopen() | 23:37 |
itsnotabigtruck | yeah, gio looks pretty heavy and undesirable for simple console apps | 23:37 |
javispedro | well I can concur that ansi c is lacking in some aspects, such as e.g. spawning a process and reading its standard output | 23:39 |
DocScrutinizer | well, yes. If you don't want some simple stuff like system(9 then yep, you need some extra lines | 23:41 |
DocScrutinizer | system() even | 23:41 |
itsnotabigtruck | well, for example, reading a file | 23:42 |
javispedro | there's certainly a helper for that in glib (that="reading entire file into mem") | 23:42 |
itsnotabigtruck | i don't want to have to open() the file, spin on eintr, fstat() it, read() it, spinning on eintr and incomplete reads, ... | 23:43 |
itsnotabigtruck | yeah, glib does handle that particular case | 23:43 |
itsnotabigtruck | but it doesn't handle the other cases | 23:43 |
javispedro | (also QtCore ;P) | 23:43 |
itsnotabigtruck | for example in inpkgsign i need to open a file for writing without truncation, and incrementally write stuff to it | 23:44 |
itsnotabigtruck | and be able to easily detect when things go wrong without a stupid amount of code | 23:44 |
javispedro | (on glibc you can avoid EINTR altogether with some signal.h trickery; dunno about win32) | 23:45 |
itsnotabigtruck | well, windows doesn't have anything like eintr so it's not a problem | 23:46 |
itsnotabigtruck | if you mean sa_restart, that's not very pretty | 23:46 |
rzr | khertan_, hi can you help on http://bugs.pyside.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1000 ? | 23:54 |
