matsavhalev | is there an X server in maemo (can i forward X apps to the N800)? | 08:01 |
derf | There _is_ an X server. | 08:03 |
derf | You might find trouble getting the vkb to work with remote apps, however. | 08:03 |
matsavhalev | im trying to run apps from a debian chroot | 08:03 |
matsavhalev | ssh -X doesnt seem to work either | 08:04 |
derf | I don't know if the server is listening on any ports by default. | 08:04 |
matsavhalev | do i need to set the DISPLAY= to something? | 08:04 |
derf | No, I mean you may need to restart the server. | 08:05 |
matsavhalev | ? i dont quite understand... which server is there XVnc? | 08:05 |
derf | The X server. | 08:06 |
matsavhalev | surely if I am in hildon desktop X server is running? | 08:06 |
derf | It's running sure. You may need to pass it some options to get it to listen on any ports for incoming client connections, however. | 08:06 |
derf | Often it's set not to listen on TCP by default. | 08:06 |
derf | I'm just guessing here, but if you can't connect to it, that's probably a good guess as to why. | 08:07 |
matsavhalev | where would I find that setting? any ideas | 08:07 |
derf | Read man pages. | 08:07 |
matsavhalev | will do | 08:07 |
matsavhalev | but for which app? | 08:08 |
derf | The X server. | 08:09 |
Tak | also sshd may be set not to forward X | 08:10 |
matsavhalev | tak: but that wouldnt affect the server on my desktop so I dont think so | 08:10 |
matsavhalev | i removed -nolisten tcp from /etc/init.d/x-server but still no luck I dont know which DISPLAY to forward to | 08:31 |
Tak | should be in your sshd_config if you're using ssh | 08:41 |
*** behdad has joined #maemo | 08:46 | |
*** alp has joined #maemo | 08:47 | |
*** lexiyntax has quit IRC | 09:00 | |
inz | With ssh X forwarding, the X server need not listen on TCP | 09:05 |
inz | The X forwarding should work, if the client has forwarding enabled in ssh_config (or -X or -Y is used) and the server has forwarding enabled in sshd_config | 09:07 |
inz | (and DISPLAY is defined when the client is run) | 09:08 |
inz | The server should also have xauth installed | 09:09 |

*** dolske has joined #maemo | 09:27 | |
inz | matsa, ah, you have dropbear... | 09:27 |
inz | matsa, if I read the source correctly, X11 forwarding is only supported at the server end | 09:28 |

`0660 | seems that there is a problem with the site you are trying to access | 22:21 |

Okko | I thought so too at first but https://www.thawte.com/, https://www.ssh.com/, https://www.google.com/ all work on my PC browser but won't on N800 at the moment | 22:22 |

`0660 | https://thawte.com works with me | 22:24 |
`0660 | though it also complained first | 22:24 |
zuh | ssh.com works for me (after confirming of course) | 22:25 |
*** djcb__ has quit IRC | 22:25 | |
Okko | they have worked for me earlier, some googling suggests clearing cookies, cache and rebooting.. Did those but maybe I'll try them again. | 22:26 |
mark_ | if i do ssh root@localhost, i get: permission denied, please try again | 22:26 |
mark_ | am i filling in the wrong password then? because i wouldn't know the password if that were the case | 22:27 |
zuh | Does ssh work otherwise? | 22:27 |
mark_ | i think so, but i have no internet so i can't check it | 22:28 |
mark_ | it used to work | 22:28 |
mark_ | if my password were wrong, how could i boot to runlevel one and change it? | 22:29 |
mark_ | because last time i booted my nokia i could become root, and now i suddenly get permission denied | 22:30 |
zuh | I guess you could try the alternative methods of becoming root, since there isn't really a way to change the runlevel unless you are root... | 22:30 |
*** pdz has quit IRC | 22:30 | |
mark_ | hmm yes i thought so, and no grub either xD | 22:31 |
mark_ | what are the alternatives? | 22:31 |
zuh | heh, seems like they want net too: http://maemo.org/maemowiki/HowTo_EASILY_BecomeRoot | 22:33 |
Okko | D'oh | 22:33 |
Okko | rebooting *without* the charger plugged in fixed the SSL problem | 22:33 |
Okko | I guess it's not a reboot if you have the charger plugged in and it's charging?! | 22:34 |
zuh | Yeah, that sucks baboons balls | 22:34 |

Okko | wasn't it so that Nokia continues to support 770 as Jaaksi put it? | 22:51 |
Pupnik | ? | 22:52 |
Okko | http://jaaksi.blogspot.com/ "770 is a fully supported Nokia product. [...] And as I said in my previous post, we follow the situation as we go on and keep on supporting the product." | 22:53 |
Okko | https://maemo.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=329 "WONTFIX. No fixes to N770 anymore." | 22:53 |
*** koen has joined #maemo | 22:54 | |
Okko | doesn't look like they keep on supporting it if they won't fix the bugs anymore | 22:54 |
c0ffee | there's a thread on m-d about that | 22:54 |
Okko | mkay I'll read the mailing list archives :) | 22:55 |
kerwood|afk | yeah, look for subject "No more 770 bug activity?" | 22:57 |
Okko | "If you have a better solution please share it." lol | 22:58 |
Okko | Apple and Microsoft can support 100s of devices with their OSes but Nokia has problems supporting two with the same OS? | 23:00 |
Tak | microsoft support? hah | 23:01 |
Okko | yes, even Vista is installable on older computers, not just "2007" ones :) | 23:02 |
*** garrett has quit IRC | 23:03 | |
Tak | as long as you don't want to use any of your hardware | 23:03 |
Okko | I can't see any reasons on building the Maemo OS so that is has device drivers for two devices and works in both | 23:03 |
Okko | any reasons not to I mean | 23:04 |
Tak | also microsoft can rely on commodity hardware that other people are creating drivers for | 23:05 |
impl | Why does busybox conflict with bash? Can two shells not co-exist on a system? | 23:05 |
Okko | the other people being the hardware manufacturers, whch in this case is Nokia too | 23:05 |
Okko | but take Apple for example, you can install the new version of the OS to older Apple G4 computers too, no problems | 23:05 |
Okko | it's a better example because they make both the hardware and the OS | 23:06 |
Okko | Nokia could just sell the OS 2007 edition for Nokia 770 users for some amount of $ | 23:07 |
*** dvlahakis has quit IRC | 23:07 | |
zuh | But nokia doesn't sell operating systems, it sells devices | 23:09 |
zuh | And I doubt there is enough 770 owners that would pay to make it worth the trouble for nokia (at this point) | 23:09 |
Okko | and that's stoopid and bad for the environment in my opinion | 23:10 |
Okko | why wouldn't the 770 owners pay? or you think the device was not sold enough? | 23:10 |
Tak | they're giving away os2007 already... | 23:12 |
Okko | according to business week they have sold "fewer than 25 000 units", if Nokia would charge 20 bucks for the upgrade and 1/3 would upgrade that would be $165000 | 23:12 |
zuh | The latter I guess, it would take some effort to support backporting changes (770 and N800 differ not only in HW, but also in what interfaces they have for the HW) | 23:12 |
*** mikemorrison has joined #maemo | 23:13 | |
Okko | zuh: I don't see how that is a major problem if they can release the hacker edition | 23:13 |
*** konttori has quit IRC | 23:15 | |
zuh | Okko: That uses older components for incompatible/unavailable ones (browser engine, mediaplayer), and thus won't be a part of the normal bug fixing process | 23:17 |
Okko | so some of the higher layer software is incompatible? I do understand that the camera app is incompatible with 770 but the browser..? | 23:19 |
Okko | or is it just a licensing issue? | 23:20 |
*** Andy80 has quit IRC | 23:21 | |
zuh | That's a licensing issue I think but also the new version is tied to N800 (according to the wiki it SIGILL's, which is a sure sign of "compiled for ARMv6") | 23:21 |
*** dieguito has quit IRC | 23:21 | |
Okko | licensing aside, couldn't it just be recompiled? | 23:21 |
Okko | like apple compiles for both processor families | 23:22 |
zuh | AFAIK it's a binary blop for nokia too, and asking for a recompiled binary would most likely mean $$$ | 23:22 |
zuh | But I dunno exactly | 23:22 |
Okko | so could we conclude that the reasons are political/license/contract reasons and not really technical? | 23:23 |
Okko | the reasons not to release new OSes on older hw | 23:24 |
zuh | No, there is nothing technical there. Just licenses, politics and money. | 23:24 |
Okko | that's somewhat "nice" to hear | 23:26 |
*** mat has quit IRC | 23:26 | |
zuh | As http://maemo.org/nokia/role.html states, "For the time being, Nokia controls the development of maemo to keep it aligned with its product development." which didn't do too much good for the 770->N800 transition | 23:27 |
tko | well, os2007 was aligned with n800... :-/ | 23:27 |
* koen wonders what intel is going to do | 23:28 | |
zuh | Let's just hope that the current improvements and GMAE will improve on that | 23:28 |
*** pleemans has quit IRC | 23:28 | |
koen | at this rate, they'll probably fork off hildon | 23:28 |
Okko | hopefully nokia won't abandon N800 when they release the next tablet | 23:28 |
koen | Okko: they will | 23:28 |
Okko | probably | 23:28 |
tko | such pessimism | 23:29 |
koen | such realism | 23:29 |
Okko | that's what they have always been doing with the phones | 23:30 |
*** _follower_ has quit IRC | 23:30 | |
zuh | tko: I guess there is no real evidence to base optimism on | 23:30 |
*** _follower_ has joined #maemo | 23:30 | |
koen | although I've become a bit more positive about maemo's future after talking to carlos and quim for a few days | 23:30 |
zuh | tko: Although, I must admit that things have vastly improved from the starting days ;) | 23:30 |
tko | zuh: and only a single instance to the contrary | 23:30 |
Okko | tko: about 300 instances to the contrary if you count the phone models :) | 23:31 |
zuh | tko: Yeah, it was a bad case of first impressions I guess :/ | 23:31 |
*** ilpanda has joined #maemo | 23:31 | |
tko | Okko: I'm hoping we're not adopting all the bad things from the phone units.. we are pretty much disconnected otherwise | 23:32 |
Okko | tko: I'm hoping it too :) | 23:33 |
Okko | personally I don't mind if no new software is released after about 5 years from the "start of selling" point in time, but I'd really like to see at least the browser to be updated that long | 23:35 |
Okko | and I don't mind if I can't call to some free support number after the guarantee period, as long as the software is up to date | 23:36 |
Okko | maybe minimo will provide those upgrades for the browser part | 23:38 |
koen | megamo | 23:39 |
Okko | otherwise my N800 may spend its pension days as some photo frame or bus schedule displayer :-) | 23:41 |
*** pdz- has joined #maemo | 23:41 | |
koen | since maemo-mapper doesn't work properly on n800 I will probably install a non-nokia OS | 23:41 |
mikemorrison | koen: it works for me... what doesn't it do properly for you? | 23:43 |
koen | move your bluetooth gps out of reach -> crash | 23:44 |
* koen pets his working 770 | 23:44 | |
mikemorrison | ahh. yes, same here. turning gps off has the same effect.. i just make sure to disable the gps in maemo mapper before turning it off or going out of range | 23:46 |
*** ilpanda has left #maemo | 23:46 | |
mikemorrison | i'm sure that's an easy bug to fix.. | 23:46 |
koen | it probably is | 23:46 |
koen | but it sucks if you drive past a huge EM field | 23:47 |
mikemorrison | i guess i have not driven by one yet... | 23:48 |
koen | "Turn left in" *crash* | 23:50 |
Okko | hopefully just a software crash and not a car crash :) | 23:50 |
*** pdz has quit IRC | 23:52 | |
mikemorrison | haha.. do the directions work for you? usually i'm already in or passed the intersection by the time it tells me where to turn | 23:52 |
koen | they do | 23:53 |
koen | I just increaded the time-ahead | 23:53 |
mikemorrison | yeah that didn't seem to do anything for me... | 23:53 |
