*** dralex has quit IRC17:21
e-vocokay, is there a posibility to deactivate the wlan device to save power?17:21
nomise-voc: it gets disabled when you enter "flight mode".17:21
e-vochrm?17:22
inze-voc, aka. offline mode17:22
inze-voc, from the power key menu17:22
nomise-voc: press the power button. A menu comes up that allows you to enable "flight mode" - emit as few radiation as possible when being on the plane...17:22
e-vochrm, never seen that17:23
Jaffae-voc: also, if you're disconnected it shouldn't use any power.17:23
e-vocyeah, kust when i'm online/connected with my nokia cellphone via BT17:24
e-voc*just17:24
Jaffanomis: "offline mode" only stops you from going online, doesn't it? The normal power mgmt shouldn't be any worse unless you're actively using a particular bit.17:24
nomisJaffa: well, offline mode also disables bluetooth. If you need this you probably have to rely on the power management of the 770 to switch off the unused wlan stuff.17:25
*** fab has quit IRC17:27
e-vocwhere can i find [CTRL] or [ALT] key?17:28
nomise-voc: xterm has an menu entry for CTRL-keys.17:28
nomisunfortunately it is not on the on-screen keyboard.17:29
e-vocic17:29
e-voci have xterm installed, i'll check that, thanks17:29
*** etrunko_lap has quit IRC17:40
inze-voc, in terminals you can emulate alt-key (most of the time) with the "cancel" key17:42
e-vochow that?17:43
inze-voc, for example in irssi you can press "cancel", followed by window number, and the window changes17:43
*** livingtm_ has quit IRC17:43
e-vocaha, that's nice, i use irssi but one channel ;)17:43
inze-voc, cancel is the key below the rocker key, the "reverse G"17:44
e-voccancel being escape key?17:44
inzyeah17:44
inzThat's what it's bound to17:44
*** saimonn has joined #maemo17:44
inzquite logical17:44
e-vocic17:44
e-vocaye :)17:44
*** spaetz has quit IRC17:45
nomiswell, <Esc>-<number> works for irssi on regular terminals too  :)17:46
inznomis, and in some terminals using alt does not work at all ;)17:48
inznomis, or only works for numbers (for example SSH's windows Secure Shell client)17:48
e-vocare there maemo developers around?17:48
e-vocapplication devs17:48
inzWhat do you mean by maemo developers?17:48
e-vocwriting apps17:49
inzWell, I'm maintaining the apps in maemo-hackers-repository17:49
inzMost of them aren't originally written by me, but anyway17:49
e-vocnice :)17:50
e-voci'm quite a noob with the nokia77017:50
e-vocat least i made it to get root mode ;)17:50
inze-voc, then you oughta dive head-first to developing apps, that should teach you ;P17:50

*** maddler has joined #maemo17:55
JaffaHmm, Marius' email to maemo-dev is interesting.17:59
koenJaffa: +118:09
*** mgedmin has joined #maemo18:10
X-Fade_It would be nice if they just put the new version of the AI in the repository. So can update your image instead of flashing a new image.18:10
*** sKaBoy has quit IRC18:12
Takagreed18:17
*** _matthias_ has joined #maemo18:21
*** foop has joined #maemo18:28
foopHI18:28
foopIs there a gcc package available for the 770? I can find gcc in a repository but the installation fais because i can't find gcc-base anywhere18:30
dpbYou don't want gcc on the 770.18:31
e-vocfoop: i'm a noob, but i think i read something about x-compilers18:32
e-vocso you compile your software on a x86 targetting the arm with that crosscompiler18:32
e-vocanyone may correct me :)18:33
foopOk thanx i found something for crosscompiling but i want gcc on my nokia for compiling my own small apps18:33
foopOn the nokia18:34
Jaffafoop: you'd be better off porting lcc or somesuch, I imagine.18:34
Jaffakoen: it seems no-one agrees ;-/18:34
koenJaffa: it shows nokia is only good at making uninformed smart-ass comments18:35
foopOk... But why is there a gcc package without the gcc-base package available via the packagemanagement tol?18:36
dpbReally, you do not want gcc on it. The device has too little memory for it.18:37
dpbUse Scratchbox.18:38
mgedminmy, how have times changed18:38
mgedminthe laptop I bought in 2000 had less memory and less CPU power than the 77018:39
mgedmingcc ran on it, IIRC18:39
foopbefore i used rthe nokia i wrote small programs on a hp jornada18:39
mgedminalthough it didn't run a full X + Gtk environment at the same time18:39
mgedminso the comparison is not truly accurate18:39
foopThis one is much older than the nokia18:40
thaineven if you can do something, doesn't mean that there wouldn't be a better way :)18:40
foopIts not neccessary that 770 can comoile 10000 lines of code just for very small apps18:41
thainanyway, i think the question is no.18:41
thainyou can try to squeeze arm-debian's gcc in or cross-compile it yourself.18:42
foopOk^ä18:42
*** Knirch has quit IRC18:43
thainmgedmin: your laptop probably had a bigger hard disk than the 770 :D18:43
mgedminwell, not really... 1.2 gb out of which only 750 were in my Linux partition18:43
mgedminmy 770 has a 1 GB rs-mmc card + 128 mb builtin flash18:44
mgedminand the laptop had a 640x480 screen18:44
thainright, if you use a memory card18:44
*** sKaBoy has joined #maemo18:44
foopSearch for the specs of a jornada 720 i run x and i am compiling code at the same time, of course it runs netbsd^^18:46

glass_yeah them and the managers stabbing each others projects and pushing their own with expensive multimedia productions just couple of people see19:19

tkorudeness is in the eye of the beholder, or something19:24
tkoseemed pretty lame compared to debian or lkml19:25
sage--redness is also in the eye of bongholder19:25
Jaffatko: yes, but 1) @nokia.com is representing a supplier/customer relationship; 2) the questions obviously weren't stupid (as stated) because of Marius' further clarification.19:27
*** ferenc has joined #maemo19:28
ferenchi all19:29
koenhey ferenc19:29
tkohmm, I'm pretty sure I had something not important to ask ferenc, but now can't recall what it might be...19:30
ferenctko: i'm gonna be around tonigh in case you remember19:31
*** zumbi_ has joined #maemo19:31
ferenci wanted to tell about one thing at least19:33
ferenci am not sure if Marius was here earlier and mentioned the .install files.19:34
ferenc(Marius is the maintainer of the Application Manager, just in case..)19:34
ferencso, the App Manager in OS 2006 can deal with some special .install files.19:35
ferenci show you an example:19:35
*** pcfe has left #maemo19:35
ferenc[install]19:36
ferencrepo_name = mistral-extras19:36
ferencrepo_deb  = deb http://repository.maemo.org/extras mistral free non-free19:36
ferencpackage   = maemo-mapper19:36
*** fab_ has joined #maemo19:36
ferencso if you feed this file to App Manager, then it will update its source.list and install the package in question.19:37
ferencMarius suggested that we could gradually update the ApplicationCatalog2006 page.19:37
ferencand introduce this idea to the public.19:37
ferencthe support of .install is not perfect,  but you can always get the latest AppManager either from Sardine, or by recompiling the sources ;)19:38
ferencWhat do you guys think?19:38
tkoferenc, I may have been thinking about getting screen+irssi account on maemo.org, but I think that's not it either :)19:42
_follower__on a completely different note, 770s really do make great torches... :-)19:45
ferenctko: and my answer will be, sorry, but that's not feasible.19:45
*** _matthias_ has quit IRC19:45

keesj_follower__, yea , great torches20:34
lostinbrasilChenca20:35
keesjferenc, where should that .install be located?20:35
ferenckeesj: it could be on any server20:36
keesjI would just like a mime-type for repositories and themes20:36
ferenconly requirement is that the web server should serve it with proper MIME type20:36
ferenckeesj: i know nothing about themes20:37
keesjhmm the package  fields is also strange20:37
ferencthe MIME type for the .install is : application/x-install-instructions20:38
ferencwhy?20:38
keesjbecause I hope that one repository will host different packages20:39
keesjand if both are in the same file this will lead to problems20:39
keesjthe install file then performs 2 steps20:39
keesjso I am +1 for a  application/x-debian-repository and a application/x-install-instructions with only repo name + package20:40
keesjbrb20:41
ferenckeesj: i am lost, could you pls elaborate it a bit?20:41

ferenckeesj: i think i got you. well, you can add the .install to your homepage. you don't need to setup a Debian repository, just use an existing one.20:46
*** saimonn has quit IRC20:48
ferenckeesj: on the other hand i don't see right now benefit in having a MIME type for a repository20:48
*** FireSt0rM has joined #maemo20:49
FireSt0rMHey, I've still been looking for a way to set up aliases for ash on the 770, but still haven't managed to get it to work20:50
FireSt0rMDoes anyone have this working?20:50
mgedminosso-xterm from maemo-hackers doesn't spawn a login shell and doesn't therefore read ~/.profile20:51
mgedminI'm still eagerly awaiting a fix20:51
FireSt0rMdamn20:52
FireSt0rMCuz some commands take a long time to type20:52
*** Guardian has joined #maemo20:52
FireSt0rMIt works if you su20:53
FireSt0rMJust not the default shell you get when you launch it20:53
keesjre20:55
keesjferenc, the repository name is not even unique right?20:56
ferenckeesj: it is not even important as far as understood Marius.20:57
ferenckeesj: that name is only used somewhere in the UI, maybe a caption of a window.20:58
ferenc"The "repo_name" entry is optional.  If you omit it, the repository will have no name.  The name of a repository is only used in the UI; it has no effect on functionality."20:58
ferencquoted from: https://stage.maemo.org/svn/maemo/projects/haf/trunk/osso-application-installer/doc/repository.txt20:59
*** MDK has quit IRC21:01
keesjferenc, yes, so it is very easy to replace the #maemo:essential repository :)21:02
*** lostinbrasil has quit IRC21:03
*** etrunko_lap has joined #maemo21:03
keesjbut I don't think this is a problem. if people like me want to install a .deb file , that file can "screw" up anyway21:03
ferenckeesj: exactly. none cares about the essential repo anyway ;)21:04
keesjMy only point is that the install does 2 separate thing, it might even install a repository and download from somewhere else21:05
keesjbut it's pretty easy to write good dialogs for handling adding/changing/removing repositories21:06
ferencyes, true.21:06
ferencif there are two repos configured and both have package 'x' then the App Manager will only pick the latest version.21:07
keesjthat is just the way debian works, we can't change that right?21:08
ferenci don't think we want to change it.21:08
keesjbut the tone on the mailing list is quite hard21:10
ferencwhat do you mean?21:10
keesj"smartass replies"21:12
keesjon the mailing list21:12
keesjbut I would like to know the future of maemo:)21:13
koenthere might be a future, but nokia is not sure yet21:13
*** MDK has joined #maemo21:15
keesjanyway I am having a great time learing stuff.21:18

ferenckoen: we are just about loosing Devesh who took care of the roadmap.21:32
ferencunfortunately he leaves the team21:33
koenferenc: I heard about him going to symbian-land21:33
ferencand yes, we suck on communicating about the future.21:33
ferencmany of us is scared or don't even know what we are supposed to say and what not.21:33
ferencthat is the fact.21:33
ferencthe proposal of having a community liaison is one option.21:34
ferencbut in my opinion all the key developers (like tko) should join this channel and write smartass comments like David did today.21:35
ferenceven a smartass comment is better then nothing.21:35
koenactually no21:36
X-Fadeferenc: Comments mean that people are actively using your product.21:36
* tko is waiting for his maemo.org account to get here during the day21:36
ferenckoen: OK, we could argue about the tone21:36
koenferenc: like I said if nokia can only give smartass comments you loose a great deal of goodwill21:36
MDKnokia is a huge beast, you know21:37
koenferenc: especially if marius is going to contradict david later on21:37
ferenckoen: yes, true. but we are all different (luckily) and sometimes we have good/bad days.21:37
keesjon the other hand how hard should one be21:37
X-Fadeferenc: I don't think this particular Nokia employee looks very proffesional if insults someone without reason.21:38

ferencian_brasil: i mean i was talking about those towns... damn, i am sleepy..22:00
ferencGuard][an: a garage admin can get privileges to upload to the "extras" repository and hence make the application available for the app manager.22:01
ferenctko: not a bad idea.22:01
ferenctko: and it does not require 8 hours a day :)22:01

tkothough it hasn't been tested in practice that much.. lazy community :)22:08

tkoI wouldn't care much where it is hosted22:10
tkoI consider the content more important (though, yes, we're lacking there as well)22:10

FireSt0rMAnyone know why, wheneve I try to scp stuff onto the 770, it stalls about halfway through, and the 770 reboots?22:14
carlosguerreiroFor the last couple of weeks sardine has been broken most of the time. the problem is that I was away from it from too long and sardine still relies on me to bug people to quickly fix problems :-(22:14
ferencand it could be on the front page of the "hildon" garage project for instance.22:14
tkoright, we need tigert to make it tango =)22:15
carlosguerreiroI'm not back in force22:15

mgedminmaybe it runs out of memory?22:16
carlosguerreiroYeah, that's on my todo list. I'll actually add to the the tracker22:16

FireSt0rMmgedmin: cool I'll give that a shot22:42
carlosguerreiroAnd we will be ready to allow commits once people show up with a good track record contributing to the HAF. And once we have fixed/opened up our development processes a bit more. I think it will happen, it's just a metter of time22:43
carlosguerreiroBtw, we have been committing some patches already22:43
ferenccarlosguerreiro: could we write or update the how-to on contributing patches? i may know whom to contact, but not everybody here knows.22:44
MDKferenc: the way to get patches now into haf is via bugzilla22:45
ferencMDK: yes, i know, but this page http://maemo.org/community/getting-involved.html could be more up-to-date imho.22:45
ferencwe could "hire" some guys, who could do packaging for instance.22:46
carlosguerreiroAnd we really need to start shaping up haf.maemo.org22:46
carlosguerreirothat would be the starting point for the haf22:46
MDKferenc: but on the other hand, there are no "trusted" contributors yet, at least not on my line of the trenches22:46
ferenccarlosguerreiro: we agreed that instead of that we will have a hildon garage project, did not we?22:46
carlosguerreiroboth would work. garage is fine too22:47
carlosguerreiroAnd easier to maintain, yeah22:47
ferencMDK: yes, true. how could we generate more interest?22:47
ferenccarlosguerreiro: yes, i am waiting Luc to point the 1st HAF component that gets migrated to garage.22:48

tkoferenc, migration to garage is in the works, somewhere in the middle of API changes and documentation improvements and indentation fixes22:51

saerdnaeri wouldn't try to reflash it, because i don't want to lose my data22:52

saerdnaeri don't know, it could be possible, because i don't reboot so often22:58
revtko: is there any option to get that to work? other than using hildon/gtk or implementing a new soft input system myself?23:01

robtaylorrev: mm, gnu smalltalk has gtk binings23:05
revrobtaylor: unless you know of a working, ready to go port of GST with gtk+ bindings for the nokia 770, i'd have to say that really isn't an option23:05
revrobtaylor: are the gtk+ bindings even usable on linux/x86? or just half-working?23:06
revrobtaylor: i've not used gst for a couple years, mind you... but gst is something that doesn't seem to get much work on it, with things breaking between point releases, etc. i never got it to compile on linux/ppc, though i think it works now. but still, there might be a bunch of problems to get it working on linux/arm23:06
revrobtaylor: also, i'm a smalltalk programmer- i only touch C if it is absolutely necesary. for me, it'd be a ton easier to write my own input system for squeak smalltalk than to try to port something like gst and it's gtk bindings to the nokia- it'd a take a lot less time (for me) as well.23:08
revrobtaylor: but if you have any news i'd be interested in hearing it!23:08
robtaylorrev: gst?23:13
robtayloroh, gnu smalltalk23:13
robtaylorrev, i have no idea, but they're part of gst proper, so its worth just building it and see if it works23:13
robtaylorrev: the gtk on 770 is abi compatible with vanilla gtk, so there shouldn't be any issues23:14
*** mgedmin has quit IRC23:14

revrobtaylor: have you used it? i mean, is it usable?23:16
robtaylorrev: no, i havn't used it at all.23:17

revthanks for pointing that out to me. i mean, i know it is on eof those "umm, google it you n00b!" but i've not heard of the project, so it wouldn't have occured to me23:21
revwe do have wxWidgets for Squeak and that works pretty well23:21

revrobtaylor: but if i can get SqueakGtk working i'll buy you a beer... it would solve a few problems at once! i prefer Morphic- Squeak's default GUI toolkit- but it is slow on the 220 MHz Nokia. Not actually that slow, but still not as fast (duh) as on a 400-600 MHz XScale'd Linux or CE PDA, both of which run Squeak+Morphic well23:23
