FireSt0rMHi ppl. Anyone know what the profile file is for ash on the 770?01:13
FireSt0rMI tried ~/.profile and /etc/profile, but neither work01:13
JussiPAsh reads profile files only when run as the login shell.01:23
JussiPThere's a trick around that. It should be in the wiki somewhere.01:23
FireSt0rMAh yeah... so when I sudo su -01:24
FireSt0rMIt works01:24
FireSt0rMCuz it reads the file01:24
FireSt0rMBut I'd also like it to read in non-root01:24
FireSt0rMI'll search the wiki01:24

saerdnaeris there a way of creating a backup of the flash storage if the device doesn't boot anymore?02:31
FireSt0rMWhat happens if you plug it into your computer?02:32
saerdnaervia usb?02:33
FireSt0rMyep02:33
saerdnaeri can use the flasher tool if i like02:33
FireSt0rMI'm not sure if the flasher tool can be used to dump the contents of the memory02:34
FireSt0rMI haven't tried02:34
FireSt0rMBut it's a thought02:34
saerdnaeri doesn't find an option which offered this service02:34
saerdnaeri also have the idea of booting from a "rescue disk", i this case a rescue image from my mmc card02:35
*** k-s has quit IRC02:35
saerdnaerbut is there no easier way?02:35
FireSt0rMnot that I know of02:36
FireSt0rMBut then again I don't know very much02:36
FireSt0rMWait around and see if one of the l33t ones will give you any tips ;)02:36

*** obergix[work] has joined #maemo11:16

X-FadeCheck this. It is supposed to be the Nokia 330. http://www.gpsandco.com/articles/newsitem.php?id=464411:22
X-FadeAnd I don't think it is a fake, just targets a different market.11:23
JaffaThat claims it's running WinCE.net11:24
Takthe horror11:24
JaffaThe engadget pic made it look more like a 770 in terms of styling than those11:24

tigertkoen: ?16:37
koentigert: you made some comments about midgard and geo stuff a while back16:38
tigertkoen: yes16:39
tigertbut what do you see now? :)16:39
koentest.maemo.org :)16:39
tigertoh yeah16:40
tigertbut my experience does not come from test.maemo.org16:40
tigertit comes from www.mik.fi actually :)16:40
tigertits a nice cms system16:40
X-FadeAm I the only one that finds the whole, Midgard must run as root, a bit scary? :)16:42
tigertbut yea, we try to have something nice by integrating things more. like, if you had a garage project, you could then automatically have a easy-to-manage website for it16:42
tigertX-Fade: don't you run apache as root as well?16:42
tigertand well, if you don't so won't midgard - its an apache module plus php code16:42
X-Fadetigert: Sure, but that has a large user base.16:42
tigertmost people dont run apache as root anyway16:43
tigerttheres a dedicated user usually16:43
X-FadeI like a lot of functions of Midgard though.16:44
tigertI'd say some random php app is just as scary16:44
X-Fadetigert: Sure, it drops prifs..16:44
X-Fadeprivs even..16:44
tigertI think midgard does the same?16:44
tigertI am not sure thouhg, I dont know the internals that well16:44
tigertyou can ask bergie16:44
tigerthis blog is linked from planet maemo16:44
tigerthe knows midgard pretty well16:45
X-Fadetigert: I think it does. I'm sure they have security in mind too :)16:45
tigertyea16:45
tigertit's been around for years16:45
X-FadeUnfortunately their website is pretty slow..16:47
*** pcfe has joined #maemo16:47

X-Fadehttp://www.midgard-project.org16:47

tigertperhaps something in between you and the site is slow?16:48

tigertyeah17:17
tigertit requires whatever your apache requires17:17
abtigert: as far as I remember my code (if it wasn't replaced completely in these 7 years :-) we didn't require root access anywhere in the code.17:20
tigertyea, I would guess so. And why would one?17:20
tigertapache provides most things needed17:21
abyep17:21
abin fact, we had a non-apache based variant too.17:21
koencherokee!17:21
ab:-)17:22
abno, not a web-server based17:22
*** benzea has quit IRC17:23
*** matt_c has quit IRC17:32
X-Fadeab: I just quoted something from the website ;)17:32
ab:-)17:33
X-Fade"The core of Midgard is written in C for better performance on high-volume sites. This means that Midgard must be installed on a Linux or Unix server with root-level privileges."17:33
X-Fadehttp://www.midgard-project.org/midgard/1.8/17:33
partwell, if you want to run a web server in port 80, you'll need to have root access17:35
koenpart: or a really insecure OS :)17:35
partor that, yes17:36
abX-Fade: that mostly about installing _library_17:41
aband putting Apache's module into apache's dir17:41
abwhich is usually done by administrator17:41
abas opposed to regular PHP apps17:42
X-Fadeab: Yeah, it depends on how you read it.17:43

spaetzmmh, unfortunately a tomtom doesn't seem appropriate as bluetooth gps source20:39
spaetzalthough it is linux based and apparently you can even log in to it.20:40
spaetzso it *should* be possible to hack  something together20:40
saerdnaeryou could also use the usb port20:41
saerdnaerbut again a little hacking is needed20:42
saerdnaerbut if you have a tomtom, why use a n77020:42
saerdnaeranother nice application would be the tomtom navigation software on a n770 ;-)20:43

myreni'd finally get the 770 if they offered just a 770+gps21:33
Takwhy not a 770 + bluetooth gps?21:34
myrenpower consumption.  and when i looked at bluetooth gps 2 years ago they were all off brands that cost $200.21:35
myrenalso, the point of the 770 is kinda of to have a good small portable device21:43
myrenthere should be no need to carry other good small portable devices21:43
Taksure, but there are several small portable devices that it's not, and was not designed to be21:44
