IRC log of #maemo for Wednesday, 2007-06-20

trevarthanHey, can I use the bluetooth logo in an application I'm writing? Or is that an infringement of copyright? I notice that KDE uses the logo on their kbluetoothd tray icon and we use it in our tray. What's the deal with that?00:00

nadermanHey everybody, I've been trying to install Octave with the one-click install from downloads.maemo.org, but for some reason it appears to send the install file as text/plain and it only shows the text in my browser, any hints why this happens?00:05

mrsanabriahello00:13
*** konttori has joined #maemo00:15
nadermanoh I see the thing lies on an external server so it's probably misconfigured :/00:15

mrsanabriaNeed Help!  Question for n800 developers-  we are creating a flash app for the n800 that will be stored locally.  In our tests the flash performance of the n800 has been extremely slow using basic animations such as fades from one image to the next for small images.  The frame rates for video have also been extremely disappointing.  Any advice on optimizing the n800 for flash?  For example we are looking at turning off all processes exce00:22
gla55you got cut off at "off all processes exce00:23
*** kenneth_ has joined #maemo00:23
gla55if you want it to look really fancy i'm not sure if flash is the way to go..00:23
*** kenneth has quit IRC00:24
nadermanok since it appears I can't install that octave package, and as I'm new to this, is there much you need to do, if you want to compile some linux cli program on the n800?00:24
mrsanabriaWe're mostly visual designers so we don't have many options00:24
gla55and i don't really see that much performance hike you could expect from turning off some bg processes that don't really eat that much cpu at all anyhow00:25
konttorii suggest putting the flash to medium quality mode00:26
konttorithat should get the framerate to a dacent speed00:26
konttoridecent even00:26
konttorioff to sleep. good night00:26
mrsanabriawe are doing that.. but video framerates have also sadly been very slow00:26
mrsanabriawe are hoping that another firmware update might help a bit00:28

m-vonaderman, the server reports the wrong mime type and the n800 browser is not man enough to overrule it00:34
nadermanyeah, anyway I can make it load it anyway without copying the file to my own server and sending it with correct mime type?00:35
m-voas workaround, save the page and open the file directly with the AM00:35
nadermanah heh kind of obvious00:35
nadermanthanks ;-)00:35
nadermanthough I also noticed it says IT OS 2006, and I use 2007, what are the chances it'll work anyway?00:37
m-voboo, it's not for it os 200700:37
nadermanheh so I guess I'll have to do it myself? :/00:37
m-vodo what? compile?00:38
nadermanyeah get it running on the n800 somehow00:38
nadermanas I said I have no idea what this maemo stuff works like so far, only got it three days ago ;-)00:39
m-voi'll  play a bit with th .install file...00:39
m-voit's a bit off a mess.... the maemo stuff00:40
nadermanheh00:40
*** kenneth_ has quit IRC00:41

*** [Pinguozz] has joined #maemo00:46
m-vonaderman, i have it running00:48
nadermanoh cool00:48
nadermanso not much of a change in libs between 2006 and 2007? ^_^00:48
*** __shawn has quit IRC00:49
nadermanso what did you do?00:49
m-voit is compatible with itos 2007, you just need to hack the .install file00:49
*** [Pinguozz] has quit IRC00:49
m-vo(things like this are part of the maemo mess)00:49
m-voreplace "repo_deb" with "repo_deb_3"00:50
m-vo(in the file)00:51
*** pvanhoof has joined #maemo00:51

m-vo(is there a busybox emacs?)00:53
Fatalhahaha00:53
nadermannow where is my esc button :o00:54

konttoriThanks! Black theme looks much better, but the light theme is more usable while you are outside.14:07
gwakyou did all that in python?14:07
konttoriyeah14:07
konttoriI'm really pleased that it now includes all 'easy' functionality.14:08
konttorithat's my hello world python app14:08
gwaka bit of feature creep for your helloworld app,14:08
konttoriwell, I don't think making a test app really makes sense if you want to learn something new.14:09
konttoriBest way is to set a nice bar and aim for it.14:09
gwaki agree, and its ment to be fun right ;-]14:09
melmothi want a real time kernel in python :)14:09
konttoriI had to lower the bar a bit because of time constraints, but I think that the basic app is nice (I wanted to include images and video as well - perhaps for the 2.0 version then)14:10

gwakkonttorie: would it be possible to add daap / upnp support?14:10
konttoriYeah. I'm actually working on that with coherence guys.14:11
konttoriThat's a branch project.14:11
konttoriI'm very certain that the upnp is completely doable, the only thing I am sorry about is that the coherence package is so huge at the moment. But they are working to drop unnecessary dependencies from it.14:12
gwaki tried Canola, and while very slick the non OS license put me off a bit14:12
konttoriit's non OS? Really? shame.14:12
gwakand it did not read my daap share14:12
konttoriIt would be really simple for me to include daap support. I might do that for the mainstream version by default.14:13
MoRpHeUzgwak, konttori: they are working on that (OS)14:13
konttoriI thought so too.14:13
konttoriI just thought that they had already completed the OS part14:14
MoRpHeUzkonttori, gwak: the problem with daap is the new version of itunes..nobody until now could reverse engineer it.. =(14:14
MoRpHeUzkonttori: yeah..it's a big fight with lawyers...14:14

ScoobyCEhi all, anyone here clued up on cairo? I need someone who's run it on a mobile platform like wince16:02
X-FadeScoobyCE: It runs on a mobile platform like ... maemo :)16:03
ScoobyCEah right, well in that case im in the right place :)16:05

PierreScoobyCE: a better place than #wince ;-)16:05
ScoobyCEX-Fade: do you know if it runs on wince16:05
ScoobyCEim struggling to get font/text support running :/16:06
*** jsmanrique has left #maemo16:07
ScoobyCEive ported fontconfig and freetype but cairo doesnt want to render...do you know personally...or know anyone here whos jacked?16:07
X-FadeIt should run on wince.. But I don't think you'll find many experts for that on this channel.16:07
gwakhow different is the wince API from win32?16:07
ScoobyCEsimilar but different and limited in places16:07
Pierre#cairo would be better, and to check if the win32 backends actually supports the wince specific bmp formats (afair it can be tricky)16:07
X-FadeScoobyCE: http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/tor/archives/2005/04/16:08
ScoobyCEthe win32 backend doesnt, but the freetype backend should work16:08
ScoobyCEnobody is in #cairo atm, someone there suggested i try here :)16:08
ScoobyCEi can get cairo rendering stuff...but its just the fonts that are giving me trouble16:09
PierreI did, was not that wise :)16:09
ScoobyCEhehe16:09
Pierrewell, you can switch to maemo :)16:09
*** jku has quit IRC16:09
ScoobyCEfrom the link you sent me:16:10
ScoobyCEThis is running on WinCE using the cairo backend. SVG text is disabled as CE's GDI doesn't seem capable enough for the cairo win32 font backend.16:10
ScoobyCE:'((16:10
ScoobyCEthere must be a way...doesnt make sense!16:11
Pierrehave you succeeded to run cairo-ft on win32?16:11
ScoobyCEyes16:11
ScoobyCEwell...not exactly16:11
ScoobyCEbut i can render fonts through cairo in win3216:11
Pierrequestion is: can you render fonts on win32 without the win32 backend16:11
*** rwhitby-n800 has quit IRC16:11
Pierreif you succeeded, then it should work (even slowly) on wince16:12
ScoobyCEi had a similar idea the other day and started rebuilding my project to try exactly that...but its such a hassle that im trying everything else first16:12
Pierreas long as you have the required deps installed and running16:12
ScoobyCEthe thing is, wince doesnt have the same font capabilities at win3216:12
Pierreit is not that hard to compile cairo on windows and enable freetype+co16:12
PierreScoobyCE: the freetype backend has nothing to do with GDI capabilities, it is pure cairo only rendering16:13
ScoobyCEso youre suggesting that if i can get the FT backend working under win32 then theoretically it should also work under ce?16:14
Pierreyes, as long as you can compile freetype+fontconfig+cairo for wince16:14
ScoobyCEi can, but with quite a few modifications16:14
ScoobyCEsome of which may be where my problem lies...a lot of the directory/path manipulation stuff ive had to rewrite16:15
PierreI did not try with latest but I did some work with 1.3 (dev tree for 1.4),  http://blog.thepimp.net/misc/cairowin32/16:15
Pierreit may help (no cygwin crap)16:15
Pierrebut I fear that it is slightly OT here :P16:16
ScoobyCEhehe16:16
Pierre(besides that #maemo rocks and ce is a pain :)16:16
ScoobyCEim using visual studio atm....i cant make any changes at this point, im stuck with wince, this is only a small part of the app im working on16:17
ScoobyCEultimately i actually need to render svg images with text...i can render normal svg images, but not text16:17
Pierrethe link above may help then, "only" need to update the scripts to take care of the 1.4 changes. It supports VC cmd line tools natively (nmake and sdk)16:18
Pierreor cross compile it with the help of cygwin+mingw, but I never tried this way, too hackish for me :)16:19
ScoobyCEyeah ive been down that road, i dont think thats the way forward for me :/16:19
ScoobyCEthe link you sent doesnt deal with ce though does it?16:19
Pierrenot exactly, it deals with VC tools16:20
Pierreit lets you build cairo using VC only16:20
ScoobyCEsuits me16:22
ScoobyCEwill give it a try ta for the help16:22
ScoobyCEis cworth the guy who wrote cairo?16:22

Juhazmaybe someone is, maybe not, try asking the question20:00
ebowdenOkay20:00
ebowdenI tried compiling the Maemopad app for the Nokia N770 (I'm using debian, Maemo SDK 2.2) under my ARM target as specified by the tutorial.  It runs just fine on the host (i.e., through the Xserver), but whenever I try to install the deb package onto the N770 (which has the latest 2006 OS) it says"unable to install, incompatible package"20:02
ebowdenI'm trying to install from the SD Card.20:02
ebowdenAs an aside, I noticed that the deb package that gets built is for the arm architecture, and not the armel arch.  Would that have anything to do with it?20:03
etrunkoebowden: seems you've messed something while creating your target20:06
ebowdenJust some additional info: my current scratchbox target is setup using cs2005q3.2-glibc-arm, devkits cputransp, debian-sarge, perl doctools, w/ cpu-transp set to qemu-arm-0.8.2-sb220:06

*** Daniellion has joined #maemo21:55
*** pleemans has joined #maemo21:55
X-FadeYeah, that clones the root fs.. And then you can trick that one out. Boot back to your original OS and tar your tricked OS?21:56
zyxulnagadon't you need to have an mmc card for that?21:56
X-Fadezyxulnaga: Yeah, so? They are cheaper than a burger ;)21:56
*** ChrisJTortoise has joined #maemo21:56
X-FadeWell almost..21:56
zyxulnagathats not the problem here21:56
zyxulnagaI was looking for a clean solution to do it through the flasher21:56
thoughtfixDepends on the burger21:57
zyxulnagalike make a tar of the root, then convert it into jffs and flash it21:57
gla55some cards are cheaper than couple of burgers i could think of at tampere21:57
X-FadeUse mtd-tools on the device? And just copy the partition of your rootfs?21:57
thoughtfixSpeaking of, I have a spare 512M RS-MMC. My 770 doesn't get much use anymore except for Carman21:57
X-FadeYou can even use dd for that :)21:57
zyxulnagahave you done it?21:58
X-FadeI backed it up using dd, yes..21:58
zyxulnagaand you restored it with the flasher?21:59
zyxulnagathe entire system?21:59
X-FadeNo, only the rootfs..21:59
zyxulnagawhat device did you 'dd' ?21:59
X-FadeBy booting from mmc, nothing on your internal flash is locked..22:00
*** adoyle has quit IRC22:00
zyxulnagaI am trying to understand what you did to backup your rootfs and restore it with the flasher22:00
X-Fadezyxulnaga: Check 'mount..22:01
zyxulnagathe rootfs is usually stored in /dev/mtdblock*22:01
zyxulnagaI have22:01
X-Fade/dev/mtdblock4 is rootfs.22:01
zyxulnagawhat you are saying now I have already tried and didn't work22:01
zyxulnagacorrect22:01
zyxulnagayou are saying that if I dd my /dev/mtdblock4 and then use the flasher to restore it it will work?22:02
X-FadeNo, that is a mtd device.. Not a jffs image..22:03
thoughtfixHmm.22:03

trevarthankonttori: I've got a problem. maemo doesn't ship with a gst alsasink or a gst mp3 decoder (other than the dsp variant). I need something like that to do A2DP in ukmp. I could probably build the plugins, but I think the "ugly" gst plugins have nasty licenses or patent problems. I have a working version of mplayer that will do software mp3 decoding and alsa, so I'm considering turning ukmp into an mplayer frontend. What do you think abou22:37
gla55got cut at  "do you think abou"22:38
*** dogbix has joined #maemo22:38
konttoriWell, I don't feel that's such a good idea. At least not yet. I have considered mplayer as well, but I feel that the implications will not be small once the change is made to use mplayer.22:39
thoughtfix... so ... anyone want a sneak insight into an upcoming article?22:39
