MrYI am connected using a wireless connection to another computer running a webserver but I can't load it02:20
MrYload the page I mean02:20
MrYlet me try with an easier question...02:28
MrYcan I find out the ip address of my nokia 770 after it connected to a wifi network?02:28

timelesssorry, i'm paying attn elsewhere02:42
timelesswhat did you ask?02:42
revwhat was it? i jsut walked in.02:43
Darknessshow can I find out which IP address my nokia gets when connected to an accesspoint or computer in ad-hoc mode02:43
Darknesss?02:43
timelessum, doesn't utilities have something?02:43
timelessrather, tool\02:43
timelesss02:44
* timeless can never keep them straight02:44
DarknesssI am not very experienced with wifi configurations in linux yet02:44
timelessthere's a "connection manager"02:44
Darknesssyes02:44
timelessapp menu>internet connection>ip address02:44

jtraso I have successfully connected n770 to my usb cdma 1x evdo modem (soldered cable + power), set up ppp networking so that commandline tools indicate correct connection, but most of the applications (minimo is exception) ignore that and just prompt me to scan for wifi networks and refuse to work unless I connect via wifi - how can I swith this behaviour off?02:50
revjtra: you can specify whether or not to try that in the network connection manager02:53
revjtra: you can just turn it off, or pick only phone or only wifi or both02:53
jtrarev: which option do you mean? when I set "Connect without asking" to "None" it still does not work02:56
jtrahttp://dastych.sh.cvut.cz/~jtra/tmp/n770-evdo.jpg (a picture of n770 and the modem, just for curious)02:59
revoh... hrmm.03:01
revthat's the option i meant, unfortunate03:01

*** mgedmin has joined #maemo13:07
tigerttimeless: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/Netboot13:09
tigerttook 3 seconds of google btw :)13:09
tigertor do you mean "boot disk" way like on debian?13:09
*** pancake has joined #maemo13:10
timelessas long as i can get the pieces in a .tar or equivalent so that i can use my own evil system it doesn't matter13:12
timelesstrying to deal w/ squashfs is more than i can stomach13:12
*** booiiing has joined #maemo13:13
tigertof course setting up a pxeboot system is the easiest once you do it13:13
tigertbut its overkill for one installation13:13
timelessi'm not using a real computer13:13
tigertwe had that in ximian / novell13:13
timelessso pxeboot isn't going to help13:14
tigertah okay13:14
tigertyea, it needs a bios that supports it13:14
timelessi just want he netboot archive for i guess edgy13:14
timelessoh, my bios supports it, i'm just not installing into real hardware13:14
tigertright13:15
tigertvmware?13:15
timeless"no"13:15
tigertor, "better not ask" :)13:15
timelessyou could see if you like, but, "don't ask, don't tell"13:15
timelessum13:16
timelessi'm not sure that helps13:16
tigerthehehe :)13:16
tigertno worries13:16
timelessit gave me an image13:16
timelessinitrd.gz13:16
timelessi don't speak that either13:16
timelesswhat ever happened to simple tarballs? :(13:16
tigertI did that once13:17
tigerton my black apple powerbook years ago13:17
tigertinstalled debian13:17
tigertwhen there was no boot cd13:17
tigertand the machine had no floppy of course13:17
tigertI had yellowdog there I think13:17
timelesshrm, initrd-util unpack13:17
tigertthen I made a partition, untarred the base13:17
tigerttgz there13:17
timelessat least that's /vaguely/ promising13:17
tigertand booted13:17
tigertand it borked like hell13:18
* timeless wonders if the debian here has that tool13:18
tigertthen I fixed everything one by one, trying to "be the installer program" :)13:18
tigertbut everyone should do that once13:18
timelessi'm pretty sure i already did that the last time i installed a debian variant13:18
timelessi'm hoping not to have to emulate the bootloader13:18
timelessbut it looks like i get to do that too13:18
timelessoh13:19
timelessinitrd-util is just someone's evil shell script :)13:19
timelesshrm, it requires "mount"13:19
timelessthat'd require root13:20
suihkulokkiwell duh13:20
timelessduh?13:20
suihkulokkiinitrd is filesystem13:20
timelessyeah well13:20
timelessi was hoping to avoid dealing w/ file systems13:20
suihkulokkiinitramfs13:20
timelessbesides, that's not technically true13:20
timelessinitrd is a file13:20
timelessthat contains a file system in a well defined file format13:21
timelessno part of that strictly requires *mounting* it13:21
suihkulokkiyour splitting hair13:21
timelessit should be perfectly possible for an app to read the file system w/o using the kernel13:21
timelesssince it's just a userland file13:21
timelessi'm only splitting a hair because i'm on the wrong side of a "don't got root" divider13:22
* timeless ponders13:22
suihkulokkino, you playing martyr :P13:22
timelessi don't suppose there's a catalog listing the standard contents of this initrd fs?13:23
timelesshttp://www.faqs.org/docs/evms/x3834.html is that what i want13:24
suihkulokkiYour wasting your valuable time13:25
suihkulokkithe initrd created manually is going to be incompatible with ubuntu anyway13:26
timelessi'm not trying to make one13:26
timelessi'm trying to get a list of files and ask someone to give me those files13:26
timelessor maybe i'll steal the files from an existing someone13:26
timelessit doesn't make much of a difference13:26
suihkulokkiyou would already have the files13:27
timelesswhy would i want to make a file i already have ad can't read?13:27
timelessyes, but i don't know which they are, and don't want to copy an entire linux system, just the basic piece and then use dpkg/apt/dselect/whichever to install the result13:27
timelesss/ult/t/13:27
timelesss/piece/pieces/13:28
timelessjust like tigert did for his cute mac13:28
suihkulokki*shrug*13:29
timelessoh well13:29
suihkulokkiI have no idea why you think you need to do that isntead of following the doc tigert pasted13:29
timelessthe wink nudge and comments about not having a real computer are key13:29
timelessthis isn't a real computer, and it doesn't really have networking13:30
timelessit's only a real computer after linux boots into its sealed world13:30
timelessunfortunately the install cds/netboots all start with something shrinkwrapped :(13:31
suihkulokkiwell, unpacking the initrd and/or copying similar files are not going to work, if you don't understand the process13:33
timelessthe process is fairly simple, and it's documented13:34
timelessi've already followed it once for the debian derivative i have13:34

minramy poor 770... ctorrent, xchat and 2 opera windows simultaneously seems a bit much for it16:16
minragotta put links on here   and port tirc or some other tiny chat client16:17
keesj minra must be visiting p0rn sites16:18
keesjI would also like a small irc chat client16:19
minrano.  maybe disable javascript16:19
minrado you know tirc?  console only, a bit unwieldy16:19
keesjbut the more I think of it the more I think I would even prefer to run the chat client on my home router and connect with the n70016:20
minramakes sense.  ssh or vnc?16:21
keesjI did both , I prefer vnc , but perhps ssh and screen can to the trick16:22
minrawhich vnc server do you use?  i think mine is "realvnc" and it doesnt connect16:26
keesjI haven't used in in a while16:27
keesjit was thightvnc16:28
minrawell ill stfw for answers.16:28
minraah16:28
minraim not yet as fast doing hardcore web searches on the 770 as on a  pc16:29
jtraI use ssh+screen+silc and emacs erc16:30
minrabut its less annoying than using microsoft16:30

AnidelHello to everyone16:38
jtranelson: my plan is to make a virtual keyboard that would be possibly even semi-transparent and movable so it would not eat space for applications16:42
nelsonyes, Familiar has something similar ... in that the handwriting recognizer runs full-screen.16:43
jtrabut that is just a idea, I don't know how it would interact with the window manager; perhaps I will make something simplier16:43
jtrapalm t3 has also full screen recognizer mode16:44
*** minra has joined #maemo16:45
jtrabut my experiences with recognition are mostly bad, even on palm16:45
jtraso thats why I want virtual keyboard16:45

minrajtra you in cz?16:46
jtraI also use http://www.fitaly.com/fitalyvirtualt3/fitalyvirtualannounce.htm but I had to made different layout so it would be easy to enter Czech too16:47
jtraminra: yes16:47
minrai saw in a irc log that you just bought the 770 right after i did16:47
jtramine arrived on monday last week16:48
minraisnt it great? :)16:50
jtrayes, it is, except for some details16:51
Takminra: bad news16:52
minra?16:52
TakI don't think anything can really be done about the audio16:52
Takshort of in-depth optimization of fceu itself16:53
Takthe problem is, it's generating the audio frame-by-frame otf16:53
Takit can't just hand a filename to gstreamer and offload onto the dsp16:54
*** benzea has joined #maemo16:55
minrais there an internal buffer that can be increased?16:55
*** _matthias_ has joined #maemo16:55
*** xan has joined #maemo16:56
minrai need help finding the links web browser.  i cant find it with a google search16:57
Takbuffering doesn't help, because the emulation can't keep up16:57
minraoh i see.  a genious with 4 months time would need to do dynamic recompilation then to offload the audio synth onto the 770 DSP :P16:58
minrawell, lets hope the 870 is a worthy follower16:59
minrahow is 2x scaling going?16:59
Takthe 2x scaling works fine17:01
Taknot necessarily a genius, but it would require time17:01
Takeven some optimization of the audio stuff would probably help substantially17:02
*** fab has quit IRC17:02
mgedminminra: I have links on my 77017:02
minradoes the 770 have a FPU?17:02
minrai cant find a link to links... :(17:03
* mgedmin will run apt-cache policy soon17:03
minramight be possible to do some optimization with lookuptables etc17:03
Takfor one thing, it's manually converting every frame from the source channels/depth/blah to the user-selected one in a very nonoptimal manner17:03
*** Fatal has quit IRC17:03
*** Fatal__ has joined #maemo17:03
ssvbTak: gstreamer is able to play audio from a file, IMHO it was specifically designed for that, and some examples that come with it demonstrate this (but it is hard to use gstreamer for something else)17:03
mgedminminra: it's in my repo (http://mg.pov.lt/770 mistral other), so I must have found it on the application catalog17:03
mgedminas a .deb download only17:04
minraty mgedmin17:04
ssvbminra: 770 does not have a hardware FPU, floating point is software emulated (and is very slow)17:04
Takssvb: I wrote a gstreamer output driver for fceu, but the problem is that it's just dumping pcm frames into it17:04
Takit's not like I can derive some benefit from the dsp doing mp3->pcm conversion17:05
minraright17:05
ssvbTak, dsp can play mp3 directly, but unfortunately can't convert it (and get pcm back to arm side)17:06
TakI don't even have mp3 though17:06
TakI have hand-generated pcm17:06
Takwhich is the problem17:07
Takbecause the bottleneck isn't in the playing, it's in the generation17:07
minragame emus dont play mp3s.  they simulate fm synths at a low level, which eats cpu17:07
ssvbdsp used by mplayer for mp3 playback so that it does not consume arm core resources17:07
Takimo scummvm is able to do it successfully because the overall emulation isn't as intensive as nes emulation17:08
minraright Tak, it is not hardware emulation but an API implementation17:08
ssvbanyway, maybe there is a hope for alsa on nokia 77017:08
minraTak, have you looked at dgen or snes9x?17:09
TakI have not yet17:09
minrazsnes is not possible - it is full of x86 optimizations, but snes9x is all C, iirc17:09
ssvbnokia 770 badly needs some good audio api with low and predicatable latency17:10
minrajack?17:11
Takdoh! @ zsnes17:11
Takssvb: yes!17:11
ssvblooks like there is alsa support planned: http://maemo.org/platform/docs/multimedia/multimedia_architecture.html17:12
minrai have to get mmc boot working, buy another card, then get started porting... have to.17:12
Takiirc there were rumors about direct alsa and oss support before the device's release17:12

Veggendeelkar: That probably means you are counted as a pirate. If you don't buy the music, you have to pirate it.17:14
minramgedmin: dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/links_1.00pre16-1_armel.deb (--unpack):17:15
minra corrupted filesystem tarfile - corrupted package archive17:16
ssvbTak, I just searched for omap1710 & alsa: http://linux.omap.com/pipermail/linux-omap-open-source/2005-October/005454.html17:16
Takso...if you build in tsc2101 you get alsa support?17:17
nelsonminra: http://blog.russnelson.com/chordite/17:17
ssvbTak, I have no idea, but it would be great if getting alsa support is just a matter of configuring and compiling kernel17:18
nelsonThe 770 is so small and so portable that a two-handed keyboard doesn't make sense.17:18
Takwouldn't it, though17:18
*** skodde has joined #maemo17:18
minracool nelson.  there are a number of chording keyboards around.  why is yours better?17:21
mgedminminra: wow, interesting, let me check17:22
*** Fatal__ is now known as Fatal17:22
Takso what buttons can I put along the left side of the screen in fceu?  save, load, ?, and ??17:23
nelsonminra: 1) bluetooth, 2) handheld, 3) compact.17:24
minranelson would be great if it could be used with hand in pocket... for stealthy computing use17:24
Taka chording keyboard that the 770 would slot into, with the keys on the back, would be perfect17:24
nelsonminra: "if"?17:24
nelson(it already can)17:25
mgedminminra: works for me17:26
minraok i check17:26
mgedminmaybe your download got interrupted?17:26

roopewell, hard as in comparison to non-chording.17:31
minrai would only want chording kbd if i had a pda with a display in a pair of sunglasses17:31
ssvbTak, here is something interesting as well: https://garage.maemo.org/projects/dsp-alsa/ (development status 'stable', but no packages, only some sources in SVN), while you are interested in sound support, you might have a look at it and report results ;)17:32
roopeI have a E61 for instance, and this keyboard is like ... 6 cm wide, which is quite enough.17:33

nelsonoh, you can do that .... just don't press on the keys.  They're really nice keys.  Marquardt.17:53
minranelson, do you have any leads on producing it?17:55
nelsonworking on it, but all help appreciated.18:00
nelsonI have two leads in India.  Also might have a lead in Taiwan; dunno.18:00
minratough stuff... innovating, getting it produced, not getting your idea stolen...18:01
nelsonHehe.  I'm not really worried about that.  It's patented in the US, which is a huge part of the market.  Anybody competing with me would have an intrinsically smaller market.18:04
minrahow much did the patent cost you?18:04
nelsonI'm licensing it from the inventor.18:04

Anidelhi guys.. might I ask if is there a way to tell apt-get install WHERE to install a package ? (I am new to the debian packages system)18:55
pancakenope18:56
pancakeyou can unpack the pkg manually18:56
pancakeand put the files where you want18:56
Takssvb: thanks - I'll check it out when I get a chance18:56
AnidelI see.. thanks pancake ( I was thinking about an easy hack to let people install packages on the MMC rather than onto the flash memory)18:56
*** konttori has joined #maemo18:57
*** konttori_ has quit IRC18:57
Takyou could do a mount --bind18:57
minraAnidel,  i did the following18:57
Anidelit would be nice if apt-get would accept at least a base directory18:57
minramv /var/cache/apt/archives /media/mmc118:58
minraln -s /media/mmc1/archives /var/cache/apt/archives18:58
Anidelminra: that's the cache with the list of the packages...18:58
minrathen downloaded packages go to the rsmmc card, not to the internal flash18:59
Takthey still install to /usr on the flash in that case, however18:59
Anidelminra: I'd like to let people able to install the package FILES into the MMC (and, eventually) show them into the menus when the card is inserted (and remove them from the menu when the card is removed)18:59
minraanidel, the packages go into archives.  not just the lists.18:59
minraat least with apt-get19:00
minrathis is beginner debian stuff guys.19:00
Anidelminra: you mean the .deb or the unpacked (installed) one ?19:00
minrathe .deb19:00
minraoh i might have misunderstood your question19:01
Takminra: ...but when the .deb gets installed, everything gets dumped to /usr19:01
Anidelexactly.. that's not what I want19:01
Anidel:)19:01
*** chenca has joined #maemo19:01
minrasorry.  well what i will do soon is install the multiboot so my rootfs can be on the mmc card19:01
Anidelas I have a 2Gb with plenty of space for the apps, but I cannot install more apps onto my Nokia as the internal file system is getting full19:02
Takan alternative to multiboot: you could cp -Ra /usr /media/mmc1 and add an fstab rule to mount-bind /usr to /media/mmc1/usr19:02
sxpert-workAnidel: isn't there a way to install apps somewhere else ?19:02
sxpert-workAnidel: hack with symbolic links or something :D19:02
Taknote: I am not doing this on my device; it may eat your kitten19:03
Anidelsxpert-work: nope as far as I know (unless you manually move them)19:03
AnidelI want a cleaner hack.. like the virtual memory one19:03
AnidelI install the MMC .. ok.. apps on the MMC are then available (and they show up in the menus)19:03
sxpert-workAnidel: the app installer would need a "install stuff on the mmc" option19:03
AnidelI remove the MMC them ok.. they are removed.. dinamically19:03
Takthat'll require some hacking19:04
sxpert-workAnidel: right19:04
Anidelexactly.. I was hoping apt-get would have that option.. looks like it does not19:04
*** fab has joined #maemo19:04

deveshi think it might be cool to use unionfs19:14
deveshand configure it, so all modifications on / goes to mmc19:14
Takthat might be cool if there were two mmc slots19:15
deveshhow does that matter19:15
Takas it is, I have one mmc full of music, and one full of movies, and I want to be able to switch them without rebooting the device19:15
*** Guardian has quit IRC19:15
Takand I also don't want to have to keep them in sync as far as apps or whatever19:15
deveshyes, that is true , but then you can install all apps every modification goes to mmc, and you wont have to ever worry about taking backup19:16
* Tak shrugs19:16
florian_kcdevesh: hi!19:16
TakI don't ever worry anyway - it's just not part of my usage pattern19:16
deveshtak: you right, that is if you have big enough mmc , and you dotn have a use case like you do19:17
deveshhi florian19:17
* Tak nods19:17
Taklike, that would be great with the 870, which looks like it has a difficult-to-remove SD and an MMC19:18
Takrootfs/unionfs on the SD, extra crap on the mmc19:18
*** sKaBoy has quit IRC19:18
deveshi havnt experimented, but i would be happy if I can just not have to reinstall every app, due to a reflash19:19
deveshso for me unionfs on MMC is fine and looks like something i can live with19:20

minra"Written entirely in C, Snes9X is still surprisingly fast, running at full speed on a StrongARM, and providing a quality of game never before seen on the Acorn. "21:16
Takon a (900 MHz) StrongArm... :-P21:19
minraugh didnt know there were such fast ones21:19
Takexaggerating21:20
Takbut still, I strongly doubt full speed on the 77021:20
minraacorn strongarms were 203, 233 and 300mhz21:21
minraporter wrote that most games ran at almost full speed21:22
minrayou are probably correct.  but i have heard that snes wasnt much slower than nes to emulate21:22
glasssome of the gfx stuff is probably the heavy bit21:24
Takminra: I would be very happy if that turned out to be the case21:24
Takhowever, the performance of vba doesn't make me too optimistic21:24
glasstransparencies and that what was it called.. mode9?or something, the draw-one-textured-plane thing21:24
Takalthough vba is c++ and not c21:25
minrakind of a bummer that the 770 is so close to powerful enough for this21:26
Takeh, it'll still be worth doing, if only for strategy games and turn-based rpgs21:26
