ochipepeHello, I would like to install maemo SDK on my mandriva 2006, but I'm a bit confused with the tutorial (http://www.maemo.org/platform/docs/tutorials/Maemo_tutorial.html#Installing-Scratchbox). At point 5 I don't really understand the instructions (restart user session)00:18
ochipepethe command does not seem to work?00:18
sp3000what command?00:19
ochipepe$groups00:20
ochipepeI get only my username as output, not what is writtent at point 500:20
sp3000oh, right, that makes no sense, 'groups' doesn't restart anything00:20
ochipepethen what should I do?00:20
sp3000anyway you need a new login00:20
ochipepeI gave my own user name at point 400:21
ochipepe(# /scratchbox/sbin/sbox_adduser myusername)00:22
jtrasize comparison http://dastych.sh.cvut.cz/~jtra/tmp/n770-vs-palmt3-small.jpg (180KB)00:22
sp3000ochipepe: e.g. su $(whoami)00:22
ochipepesp3000: should I writ "su $(whoami) as root?00:22
sp3000no00:23
sp3000you ant to be yourself for starting your scratchbox session00:23
sp3000s/ant/want/00:23
sp3000it may be enough to start another terminal, if that happens to do the login term dance00:23
sp3000I do't really know that stuff :)00:24
ochipepesp3000: it asked for my password... which I provided00:24
sp3000so 'groups' then and you should see the sbox group00:24
sp3000and be able to start a sbox session00:24
ochipepeindeed! ;)00:24
ochipepefor the record, what is su $(whoami) supposed to do?00:25
sp3000it's just that groups don't update to existing logins00:25
sp3000so that just does a login00:25
ochipepeok00:25
ochipepeand forces a re-update?00:25
sp3000you might want to file a bug on the documentation if one doesn't exist, since the text is broken00:25
*** xan has quit IRC00:25
ochipepea pitty this isn't a wiki00:25
ochipepeok, I'll file a bug00:26
ochipepethanks for the help!00:26
sp3000ochipepe: well it's a new login, if you exit from it you'll have the old groups00:26
sp3000since you'd land back in the previous login in that term00:26
ochipepesp3000:  you mean that I have to login to scratch box I'll have to do that instruction all the time?00:27
*** florian__ is now known as florian00:27
sp3000not unless you run from a login that was started before you were added to the sbox group00:28

Darknessshi, I'm a bit confused00:48
Darknesssfollowing the "Maemo 2.1 tutorial", should I just install the latest maemo sdk (2.1) or 2.0?00:49
Darknesssbecause the guide still mentions Maemo_Dev_Platform_RS_v2.0_i386.tgz00:49
Darknesssanyone, it's not such a hard question if you ask me, I just don't want to do everyting twice...00:54
TakI'm still using 2.000:54
TakI think there was an issue with apps developed using the 2.1 SDK not being compatible devices running 2.0 ?00:55
jtrainteresting, the n770 is in R&D mode according to flasher-2.0; I would expect a new device not to be in it00:56
jtraVersion of 'sw-release': <no version>00:56
jtraThe device is in R&D mode00:56
Darknesssok, so I will just use 2.0 then00:56
jtrawhat does <no version> means?00:57
sp3000when in doubt, file a doc bug ;)00:57
Darknesss:)00:57
*** GreySim has quit IRC00:57
sp3000(as in, regardless of whether it's correct or not, if the discrepancy can cause confusion, it should be explained if correct)00:58
jtraaha, --query-rd-mode shows it wrong01:00
jtrait writes "The device is now in R&D mode" even if I'm switching between enable and disable, while the icon below "nokia" text indicates the real rd mode01:02

polacmorning to you also.10:43
daccyo10:43
polaccare to answer newbies question?10:43
daccsure10:44
polacNice! Ok. Here comes.10:44
Guardianerror link on maemo.org, the last news about herring, the second link to sardine wiki has "ttp" protocol instead of "http"10:44
Guardianjust so you know10:45
polacI'm trying to compile openct for the maemo. I run openct:s ./configure andit complains that ltdl.h is missin or that it cannot link with it. whats this?10:46
daccyou're trying to build something in scratchbox?10:47
daccthat's an include file for libtool10:48
polacI of course have intalled libtool and it sources. So I do have the ltdl.h file inside my scratchbox10:48
*** sKaBoy has joined #maemo10:48
daccah, ok10:48
dacchmm, anything in config.log?10:48
polaclet's see...10:48
Takyou think there's any benefit in using gstreamer for an emulator, where it's essentially just going to have pcm data fed to it?10:49
Takor should I just use esd?10:49
polacdacc, this seems to be the problem10:52

polacthis is from config.log10:53
JaffaMorning, all10:53
dacchi10:53
JaffaAnyone looked/thought about gcj in Scratchbox targetting armel?10:53
daccJaffa: you might also consider ikvm under mono10:54
polacso gcc doesn't find the ltdl.h allthough it can be found targets/SDK_PC/usr/share/libtool/libltdl/ltdl.h ?10:54
daccpolac: yeah, strange.  maybe there is a spot where you can add that dir to a global -I param for gcc?10:55
daccpolac: (in configure.in, maybe)10:56
daccpolac: (or in a param to ./configure)10:56
Jaffadacc: No, I'm thinking of speed without using Jazelle: JamVM's basically working, classpath is nice (but could be hacked to support Hildon out-of-the-box), but without a JIT or Jazelle, an interpreter'll be too slow. ikvm won't help there.10:56
daccpolac: doesn't seem like you should need to, though.  sorry, i'm inexperienced with building under scratchbox10:56
JaffaMight be interesting to compare the speed of a Mono GUI though.10:56
polacdacc: Thanks, at least now I know little bit more about what my problem actually is.10:57
polacdacc: I think you are way more experienced then me. This is my first time10:57
polac;)10:58
daccpolac: ah, cool.  yeah, i'm thinking about trying again, because i want to try getting wifiroamd running on my device =)10:58
polacbtw. Should I use command fakeroot in all of my command. I mean what is it's purpose?10:59
daccJaffa: ah, i see.  neat, i hadn't seen jazelle.  do you think nokia will integrate this at some point, or do the n770 chips not have support?10:59
alpJaffa: ikvm compiles java bytecode to managed assemblies, so it is jitted11:01
alpwith jazelle, turns out the cpu maker is keeping the interface secret (and probably not sun's fault)11:02
polacdacc: newer heard about wifiroamd before, but looks nice. Man, I like this Nokia 770. I might even purchase one of my own. (Currently using my schools 770)11:02
daccJaffa: oh yeah, and you can cache jit output, iirc.  i was using ikvm and had to cache platform dependent assemblies of classpath to reduce start-up time (otherwise entire classpath libs were built by the jit at each execution)11:03
daccJaffa: this was ikvm under .NET, though, not mono11:04
daccpolac: i'm pretty happy with mine11:04
daccpolac: what are you in school for?11:05
polacdacc: I'm studying Information tecnology and doing my thesis which includes programming to N770.11:07
daccpolac: sweet =)11:07
daccpolac: what is your thesis?11:08
polacdacc: jep. We are buildin portable RFID-reader. We are going to use openpcd as an reader. We connect the openpdc to N770 via usb. And for using openpecd I need librfid library. And in order to get that compile in scratchbox I think I need openct working first in scratchbox.11:10
daccpolac: yeah, sounds right11:10
daccpolac: have you gotten host mode usb working yet?11:10
daccpolac: i've played around with that a bit.., no success =\11:11
nomisdacc: you know that you need to care about the power supply for the USB bus?11:11
nomis(for getting host mode to work)11:11
Jaffadacc: interesting11:12
polacI think so ;) My friend is working on it and says that this week we can test it.11:12
*** konttori has quit IRC11:12
*** konttori has joined #maemo11:12
daccnomis: yeah, i tried using thoughtfix's "solderless" method with a battery powered usb hub11:13
daccnomis: bought a hard-drive usb "y" cable11:13
polacAnd yes we have build a power injector for the system which at the moment is powered with 9v battery11:13
daccnomis: i get some dmesg output on connecting the hub, but new devices aren't detected11:14
nomisdacc: hmm.11:14
Jaffadacc: software enabled host mode or with flasher util?11:14
* dacc nods.11:14
polacdacc: sorry to here that you didn't get it working. Hopefully my friend has a better luck.11:14
dacci just don't have any gear to do it custom (soldering iron, voltage tester)11:15
daccpolac: yeah, you'll get it =)11:15
polacJaffa: which on is better? software/flasher?11:15
Jaffadacc: sorry, I meant did you prod cat /proc/... at runtime, or did you use the flasher to enable host mode? I've heard that using the runtime method works from host -> client mode, but not client mode -> host.11:16
JaffaBut I've not tested it myself.11:16
daccJaffa: ohh, interesting.  no, i hadn't heard about that.11:16
daccJaffa: what do you manipulate in /proc ?11:17

Jaffaferenc: (I sent a mail last week about this) I appreciate the consolidation of feed names, however http://bleb.org/software/770/apps.rss really shouldn't be titled with my name just because I produce it. It's entirely automated from ApplicationCatalog2006 and I'm not comfortable with my name being at the top of that; especially if/when I have a Maemo blog proper.12:02

minrathere is kismet + festival lite speech output for 77016:17
minrathat is almost worth the price of admission16:18
minrai also have been encoding movies for mplayer and with careful, iterative selection of settings, one can get great results16:19
minrahigh motion scenes though are a real toughie.16:19
minrai worked a couple of hours to encode Shark Tale optimally, and showed it to a few people and they just melted.  It looks great.16:20
Jaffaminra: I'd be interested in your encoding settings for mplayer for updating the `mplayer' preset in http://www.bleb.org/software/770/#encode16:23
minrai do not see a username by that message.  who is typing please?16:24
JaffaJaffa. What client are you using?16:25
minraah you made the script? great!  nice to meet you16:26
minrait helped get me started16:26
minrai found i need to adjust things dependent on the film.  i have not found a magic bullet yet.  i am using the latest perl script16:27
JaffaAh, cool.16:27
minraquality is also subjective.  on some films, i will accept occasional jerkiness in high motion scenes in preference to bad quality in low motion scenes16:28
minrai also encoode to mono audio.  might be a  useful flag to add.  i see you go mono if abr is less than 6r16:29
minra6416:29
minrai also found that vbr audio encoding leads to desynchronisation that i can not correct with player plaayback settings16:29
minrait seems that mp3 needs to be cbr.  however the vbr plays back fine on my PC and it saves some space16:30
minralets see... what else..16:32
minraquestion:  i have been forcing 400x240 instead of using your scaler algorithm.  when i used the script one film encoded to 384x19? and the scaling seemed to be slow.  does mplayer on the n770 use hardware to scale when the output is 400x240?16:35
*** bergie has quit IRC16:39
VReminra: you can't scale on n770.. it does software scaling and that is too heavy16:41
minrabummer..   well the arm cpu is almost fast enough.16:42
X-FadeIt can do hardware pixel doubling..16:43
Jaffaminra: it shouldn't scale anything to 384x19 (unless you set the "original aspect ratio" option)16:45
JaffaIt should also fix the height to 240 or the width to 400 when using the "mplayer" preset. Anything else is a bug.16:45
minrai will look at it when i am sober.  maybe it is a bug.  maybe i am a bug.16:46

minradumb question: can python spawn a shell and run iwlist and return the result?16:57

nomisminra: commands.getoutput ("LC_MESSAGES=C iwlist scan")17:00
zyxulyeah it can but i was trying to avoid it17:04
zyxulbecause I need to first initialize the interface with ifconfig wlan0 up and that requires gainroot17:04
*** matt_c has quit IRC17:07
Veggenzyxul: I found it easier to do away with gainroot, and rather control my /etc/sudoers myself.17:07
*** matt_c has joined #maemo17:08
Veggenthat way, you can add the specific "ifconfig wlan0 up" to /etc/sudoers, and do it with sudo.17:08
zyxulahh nice17:08
zyxulthx for that17:08
nomisI think that some things can be done via the dbus interface of Maemo, however, that stuff is a bit underdocumented...17:09

inzWhiz, that's why (the better) osso-xterm can open urls in browser ;)18:21
jtrais there a terminal that can pass pgup/dn keys, ins, del, alt modificator, ctrl modificator in easy way?18:27
JaffaSomeone modified osso-xterm to make the escape key a meta-key, rather than escape directly.18:28
JaffaSo, for example, esc-up would be PgUp (may not be accurate)18:28
*** konttori has quit IRC18:30
jtraesc is usually alt modificator, unless you have the modificator in eigth bit which is m17n incompatible anyway18:30

inzThe mod of xterm (for it2005) indeed did use esc for changing the behavior of the hw keys of the device18:32
inzThere exists no such mod for IT2006 afaik18:32
inzIn current xterms you can do "alt" with esc though, as it's just passed normally18:33

jtraI wonder if I could connect 770 to my cdma modem18:40
jtrahowever I will have to make the cables first18:40
jtrawhat is the type of usb plug that can be connected to N770? is it mini A or mini B type? they are very similar and easily mismatched18:41
mgedmin5-pin mini B18:43
mgedminthere are also 4-pin mini B, I've heard18:43
jtramgedmin: thanks18:43
jtrathe modem itself has 1500mAh battery so perhaps it would not need external 5V power18:46
mgedminthe 770 needs external 5V power18:48
mgedmineven in host mode18:48
mgedminas far as I understand18:48
jtrahmm, bad18:48
*** matt_c has quit IRC18:48
mgedmin*some* powered USB hubs provide +5V to the upstream port (and violate the USB spec by doing so)18:49
mgedminbut the one I tried in a shop didn't do that18:49
Robot101any powered hub can do if you solder in a wire18:49
jtraperhaps I can persuade the modem to violate the spec18:50
Robot101make a modem power the USB chip? that scares me a little :D18:50
jtrabut I'm going to tinker much with it, it would be costly to replace18:51

arjI'm having trouble getting it to use my new phone for internet access18:56
arjI have changed the phone in the config panel18:57
Jaffaarj: many times - mainly to temporarily copy pictures off someone's phone, or use their 3G access in a pub.18:59
bstockAre you trying to connect via bluetooth?19:00
Jaffamgedmin: so, did you build the power injector yourself; buy a pre-made one; or is it off-the-shelf unit which happens to work?19:00
arjbstock: yes19:00
arjI think I need to create it as a new connection?19:01
bstockhave you used the bluetooth functionality on this phone before19:01
*** matt_c has joined #maemo19:01
arjno. I added it as a phone in the config panel and the phone asked me if DUN was ok19:01
arjwell I copied some pictures from the phone to my pc so it is working19:02
bstockfirst you want to make sure the phone and nokia can talk to eachother via bluetooth, then you want to setup DUN on the nokia19:02
jtrabtw, I have heard about PDA with special USB connector that will make the device be slave when mini A is attached and USB host when mini B is attached (or the other way around) - that would be cool for 770 successor19:02
Takindeed19:02
arjwhere do I setup DUN on the nokia?19:02
bstockisn't there a 770 successor in the works already? i thought i saw some images a few weeks ago19:03
jtrait is19:04

snuffelsHi23:36
snuffelsDid anyone test Canola with a UPnP media source?23:36
andrunkoi did :)23:37
Robot101:D23:37
snuffelsCanola seems to work really great, but I it seems to have problems with my server.23:38
Robot101andrunko: what kind of thing can be a UPnP media source in linux?23:38
snuffelsI think its not related to the know GStreamer problem23:38
andrunkogmediaserver, ushare, twonky ...23:38
andrunkosnuffels: what server are you using?23:38
snuffelsafaik my server is based on libupnp v 1.3.123:38
andrunkogmediaserver had a bug that we fixed, but it's only on cvs23:39
snuffelsI can browse the servers directory structure, but transfering file content fails23:39
andrunkowe sent a patch to ushare today23:39
andrunkosnuffels: music, video?23:39
andrunkocan i download your server, so i can test it?23:39
arjcanola is not meant for controlling a media center, only streaming stuff from it, right?23:40
andrunkoright23:40
snuffelsI tried .mp3 and .jpg both behave the same. (Fails to obtain the actual stream content)23:40
*** buck68 has joined #maemo23:41
arjit's sad there no source so one can hack it to be a controller also ;-)23:41
snuffelsIt's actually a linux based NAS.23:41
andrunkosnuffels: we found a bug today with the server sending an empty content-type23:41
andrunkosnuffels: i am going to fix this now in our svn :). next version it will be fixed, maybe this is your problem23:41
snuffelsThe sourcecode of the NAS firmware is available, but i don't know if this compiles on a PC23:41
*** koen has quit IRC23:41
andrunkoarj: you can be sure, i would like to release the code23:42
andrunkobut you know23:42
andrunkowe have to wait23:42
snuffelsIt seems that my setup basicly seems to work, because using Nero Home a client works with my server23:42
*** bobbyd_ has joined #maemo23:42
andrunkoit depends on how the client browses23:42
snuffelsIs there a tcpdump for maemo 2.1? In this case I take a cloder look whats actually going on between canola and my server.23:43
andrunkorun tcpdump on your server machine23:43
arjandrunko: will it be released eventually?23:43
andrunkoarj: we are not sure yet, but we want to23:44
k-s[WORK]arj: we hope we can release it23:44
k-s[WORK]:-)23:44
snuffelsandruko: The server is also a embedded device (busybox), so there's no way of getting tcpdump to work there23:44
arjcool23:44
andrunkosnuffels: this is a closed server? can i try it?23:45
*** marceoli has joined #maemo23:45
k-s[WORK]snuffels: you can use a man-in-the-middle approach23:45
arjI was about to write a remote control thing for my media center (that was why I bought the nokia in the first place) and thought canola would be a start. But I guess I'll have to write it in gtk instead.23:45
snuffelsk-s: I would have to change my network setup, or do some ugly arp cache poisoning hacks to trick my switches.23:46
k-s[WORK]snuffels: yep23:46
snuffelsandruko: colsed? do you meas reachable from the internet?23:46
marceoliarj: mediastreamer doesn't fit for controlling it?23:46
k-s[WORK]arj: we hope we can release at least some interfaces23:46
andrunkosnuffels: no, i mean, can i download it? so i can try it23:47
snuffelsandruko: It's currently only rechable from within my lan.23:47
bjvhm, ~/.xmame/cfg/default.cfg looks like gobbledygook23:47
k-s[WORK]arj: so you could write your control even without the source23:47
snuffelsandruko: the firmware of the NAS is open.23:47
bjvanyone play with the emus out for the 770?23:47
andrunkosnuffels: yeah, i know, i don't mean, access your upnp server, but access your upnp server binary, source, so i can run it on my machine23:47
snuffelsandruko: One moment please23:47
arjk-s[WORK]: ok23:47
snuffelshttp://www.claxan.de/drivers/nas200_v211src.zip23:48
k-s[WORK]arj: some other guys want mplayer support, they could do the same23:48

*** VRe has joined #maemo23:48
andrunkosnuffels: hmmm, i see, but there is no way i can test it :S23:49
snuffelsk-s: mplayer support in canola? I also would like that very much.23:49
arjmarceoli: I want to control it, not stream it. Like a standard remote control. Only shiny :-)23:49
k-s[WORK]arj: :-)23:49
andrunkoarj: if we release libcanola, the core library you will be able  to do it quite easily23:49
marceoliAh ok, cause mediastreamer (besides the name) can also control it, just select the device in the combobox above the text23:49
Takarj: I have a similar thing if you're interested23:49
marceoliif you change from 770 to your upnp server.. it will control it =)23:50
*** marceoli is now known as _Handful_23:50
arjah ok I'll have to look into that23:50
snuffelsandrunko: Maybe If I could get some packet sniffer to work on the 770 I could analyze it.23:51
arjTak: what do you mean?23:51
disqabout upnp in canola: sometimes it won't see media servers until you quit canola, start mediastreamer, quit, start canola again23:51
disqbut i'm going to bed right now and this only happened to me twice now, can't seem to reproduce23:51
andrunkodisq: hmmmm?????23:51
_Handful_disq : sometimes it takes a little bit to the server appears23:52

_Handful_depends on the quality of the network..23:52

k-s[WORK]disq: we use the same library, that's it.23:52
k-s[WORK]disq: there is no way they can step on others toes23:53
disqmaybe mediastreamer does something different with the lib, start a service, etc?23:53
andrunkonope23:53
k-s[WORK]disq: some upnp devices take time to announce themselves, or to reply to MSEARCH23:53
andrunkosnuffels: you can try to compile tcpdump23:53
k-s[WORK]disq: no23:53
snuffelsanyone tried nast, it seems to be based on libpcap, so Ethereal might be able to load its dump?23:53
k-s[WORK]disq: the only thing we do they don't is to filter some servers out23:54
disqmaybe. happened twice as i said, but the same servers worked flawlessly before/after. (i stopped and started them, did various reboots in the 770, etc)23:54
k-s[WORK]disq: some of these clauses are wrong, we're fixing it here23:54
