dhdhey ... I'm having some difficulties using the ALSA API for audio capture on the N800 ... is this the recommended way to record audio or should one use GStreamer instead?00:27
tigertdhd: use gstreamer00:27
dhdcool thanks, I noticed that's what maemo-recorder does00:27
unique311lol00:28
unique311will it blend00:28
tigertyeah :D00:28
unique311that sucks....00:28
tigertshould blend a 770 if it wasnt so cute and nice00:28
unique311i think he blended a fake..00:28
unique311one of those ifakes00:28
disqit's like a snuff movie for geeks00:33
unique311not sure i like to see electronices go out like that00:35
dhdalso is there any info about the audio capabilities of the device?  It appears to be capable of 8kHz 16-bit audio, and I'm presuming it doesn't do anything better since the input is basically meant for VoIP...00:35
dhderr00:35
dhdthe audio input on the N800 that is00:35

mattbmcStep 4 on that doc needs to become Steps 4 though 10...   I voluntarily skipped the steps in Step for of adding "user" to sudoer's...01:11
mattbmcThen I proceeded to lock dropbear out of giving root access by changing its config.01:11
*** bipolar has joined #maemo01:12
mattbmcThe way that doc is written, it sounds like I should still be able to "sudo su -" to get root.   (Which I know if I'd stepped back maybe I should have realized...but I'd rather fix the doc than figure that out.)01:15
*** kenneth__ has quit IRC01:16

metatronis it possible that the wifi is worse with the new firmware?03:12
mattbmcOnce root is enabled, is it recommended to disable root altoghether and just have "user" with sudo access?   ..or better to diable root logins altogether?03:12
mattbmc..or just have a relatively strong root password?03:12
metatronmatt: user with sudo, passwd -l on root is best03:13
mattbmcthx!03:13
metatronnot what i do, but best balance03:13
metatron:-)03:13
mattbmcmetatron:  you see my earlier post....I'm in a little root-predicament on my 770 presently03:14

*** phil|work is now known as philipl05:08
milhousedepends05:10
milhousewhat kind of white screen - got any vertical streaks/corruption?05:10
milhouseor has it just hung during boot?05:10
acydlordman, i want an openmoko kit but i don't have the cash to lay down lol05:14
GrumpyOldMansome vertical lines. before i reflashed it it looked like it was running fine just i couldn't see the display05:14
GrumpyOldMannow it sounds like it loads and shuts off when i hit power but thats about it.05:15
milhouselike this? http://www.internettablettalk.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=197&d=116560153805:16
*** neurocyt1 has joined #maemo05:17
milhouseor like this? http://www.maphia-inc.org/dead.jpg05:17
GrumpyOldManlike the first one.05:22
milhouseis your 770 new?05:22
milhouseor bought second hand?05:22
milhousethis is a serious problem you have, and requires a repair05:22
GrumpyOldManjust bought it from woot.05:23
milhousethat sucks, i thought this problem had been fixed05:24
GrumpyOldManjust for a 2gb mem card. and put a vid on it to play.05:24
milhouseit's known as a "White Screen of Death" - basically, a chip on the LCD had fried (or something like that - it's a design fault)05:24
GrumpyOldManleaving on a trip next weekend and this was my entertainment/internet connection.05:24
milhouseyou need to contact Nokia for an in-warranty repair, or see if Woot will replace it05:25
*** matt_c has quit IRC05:25
acydlordthat's bad luck05:26
*** kakos has joined #maemo05:26
GrumpyOldMannot a chance I'll have it for my trip then :(05:26
GrumpyOldManis this a common thing ?05:26
milhouseI don't know if "common" is the right word, but it certainly was a known issue with some 770s05:27
GrumpyOldManif it gets fixed is it likely to fail again05:28
milhouseif Nokia haven't fixed the design problem, the answer is yes - it's possible05:28
milhousea small number of users have had two fail... chances of that happening to you must be pretty low though05:28
milhousebut possible05:28
GrumpyOldMandoes anything set it off ?05:29
milhouseyes, rebootingf05:29
milhouserebooting05:29
milhouseit's caused by a race condition during boot - once it occurs, an LCD driver chip becomes permanently damaged05:29
GrumpyOldManugh.05:30
milhouseit usually happens within the first dozen boots05:30
milhousei'm amazed this hasn't been fixed on the production line... that is really, really crap05:31

megabyte405deejoe: keep in mind that kismet has some issues with the n800 - it will randomly stop working after a short amount of time06:16
megabyte405blame buggy wireless drivers06:16
jga23is there any way to update the vmware image of maemo to the latest bora verison?06:18
deejoemegabyte405: ok.  that's exactly the kind of info I'm looking for.06:19
deejoeshort meaning seconds?  minutes?06:19
megabyte405meaning sometimes it works06:19
megabyte405sometimes it stops seeing new networks after 30 seconds06:19
megabyte405some people say they get it to run longer, but for me it's an either-or: 10-30 seconds or works perfectly06:20
deejoehuh.06:20
megabyte405jga23: look on the maemo web site on how to upgrade the sdk - it's like 3 command lines06:20
deejoein any case, not my only reason to get an n800, but warwalking the neighborhood sure would be nicer than with a 15.4" laptop.06:20
jga23thanks06:20
*** pdz has joined #maemo06:21
jga23what is the difference between SDK_X86 and SDK_ARMEL?06:21
deejoeanyway, thanks, megabyte40506:22
pupnikone runs on the x86 cpu, the other runs arm binaries using the qemu emulator06:22
*** guardian_ has joined #maemo06:22
megabyte405deejoe: yeah - hopefully new firmwares will fix the driver06:22
megabyte405jga23: exactly what it sounds like - one compiles for X86 desktop computers (aka, to test in the VM), the other compiles for Arm: the chipset in the device itself06:22
*** ericz_ has quit IRC06:22

*** febb has quit IRC06:54
pupnikit's not built-in?06:54
pupniki have top and ps on IT2007HE06:55
joshinbusybox's top and ps are rather lacking.06:55
Luriagah busybox06:56
Luriai understand it on my wrt54, but why oh why on the tablets...06:56
Presence_cause its small and is built for low memory environments07:03
Luriaoh, i get it. i think the n series is big enough for a real toolset.07:04
Luriaimho07:04
Luria:-)07:04
megabyte405joshin: it is probably close to trivial in the maemo sdk vmware appliance07:08
megabyte405except that's the 2007 sdk - but for a console app it probably wont' matter07:09
joshinmegabyte405: you're probably right.  figured to check here before I decide if it is worth the effort to go ahead and build it.07:09
megabyte405joshin: for extra credit, rebuild a debian source package and post the deb somewhere :D07:10
joshinBah.  :)07:12
Luriai'm liking debs over install scripts more and more... especially after my skype problems07:12
* joshin thinks about porting Gentoo to his 770. :)07:12
megabyte405lol07:12
joshinI have it running on my NSLU2.07:12
megabyte405nice!07:13
megabyte405I presume you cross-compile?07:13
megabyte405(or you don't really use the slug for anything)07:13
joshinMore or less.  I have a second one that builds packages and hands off the compiling to the amd64 boxes.07:13
joshinMy slug runs my irssi proxy, my dhcp server, and the squid proxy server so that the kids can surf the internet "safely"07:14
joshinOh, and a secondary name server too.07:14
mattbmcAnyone there who can speak to "becomeroot"'s warning about possibly bricking my 770 by using it?   Is this really likekly?07:15
mattbmchttp://eko.one.pl/index.php?page=Nokia770_software#becomeroot07:15
Presence_I did it easily with becomeroot207:15
megabyte405mattbmc: don't delete anything07:15
Presence_no chance of bricking as long as you dont delete stuff07:15
megabyte405don't run apt-get dist-upgrade07:15
mattbmcso it's merely a warning about "being root"....nothing about the software will brick my unit as long as I don't do something dumb with it?07:16
megabyte405right, AFAIK07:16
megabyte405(but I am not responsible if you brick it :D )07:16
Luriaoh wow, you can run asterisk on those nslu2 things? (i wikipedia'ed the thing; i had no idea)07:16
megabyte405and you have to be careful not to apt-get upgrade07:16
mattbmci.e.  apt-get clean is no risk?07:16
megabyte405since you might get SDK package versions07:16
megabyte405which would really screw tings up07:16
megabyte405not sure what that does07:16
mattbmcI'm with you there.07:16
megabyte405there has been at least one person in here in the last week who bricked trying to upgrade that way07:17
Luriaif you remove the sdk repository, is it still a problem?07:17
megabyte405and I'm in here only a few hours each night07:17
megabyte405Luria: I'm not sure, but I'm not about to try07:17
Luriaunderstandable...07:17
megabyte405it's officially not supported and probably will brick things for maemo 3.2 and below07:17
megabyte405I guess "modular updates" (read: apt-get dist-upgrade) is a feature of Maemo 4.0 that they're working on07:18
Luriathat would be nice, because i hate the graphical package manager07:18
megabyte405I got used to it07:19
Luriaits so damn slow07:19
megabyte405that's a good point07:19
Luriaand very buggy07:19
Presence_exactly07:19
megabyte405esp. if you're in red pill mode, it take forever07:19
Presence_at least the log is halfway decent07:19
megabyte405but heck, synaptic takes forever on my desktop machine, which isn't underpowered by a long shot07:19
megabyte405so go figure07:19
Luriayes, but lets count the bugs...07:20
mattbmcWell...a little back story:   Installing canola, something bad must have happened on the network becuase I always get "Installation File Is Corrupt"07:20
mattbmcThe author is tellin me to try a apt-get clean to clear up any bogus package files I might have on board causing this....need sudo or root to do this, however.  (As far as I can tell, anyway.)07:20
mattbmcSo I see the very-insufficient "brick warning" on becomeroot and go and try the other method:07:20
mattbmchttps://maemo.org/community/wiki/howdoibecomeroot2/07:20
megabyte405I just get the occasional "won't install from the web"07:20
megabyte405mattbmc: is it an install file or a deb?07:20
megabyte405if it's a deb, it often likes to install from saved rather than "open in package manager" right from the browser07:20
megabyte405reboot07:20
megabyte405try it with the package manager closed first07:20
megabyte405those usually do it for me07:21
Luriamegabyte: fine, so you redownload - and then when it tried to handle two packages at once (cause it took 5 minutes to recognize the dl) it crashes07:21
mattbmc...unfortunaly the combination of poor writing in that article and my poor *nix skilz combined and I didn't add my "user" user to sudo'ers before disabling root07:21
mattbmc;)07:21
megabyte405sudo gainroot07:21
_Monkeysudo gainroot is failing. Is there any other way to switch to root?07:21
megabyte405yeah, ssh07:21
mattbmcCanola has an install file.07:21
megabyte405mattbmc: try making sure you have the basic maemo repositories first07:21
Luriabut the biggest problem with the package mgr is this nice little bug - it keeps proxy info after you clear it...07:22
Luriaie, clear the proxy server in the connection settings07:23
Luriawhich is a big problem, say... if you use privoxy and try to backup, flash, restore.07:24
megabyte405ahh, that sucks07:24
mattbmcmegabyte405:  This was on a a fresh OS install with only a few additional installer-based packages loaded before the Canola attempt (Xterm, VNC...a few others), so there should be (I hope) no chance of missing repositories.   Is there a reference list of "the minimum" repositories for OS 2006 somewhere?07:24
megabyte405restore cross-firmware-versions tends to break things anyway, but I can see how that would really get you out of luck if you needed to reflash same version07:24
Luriai now keep a copy of the privoxy deb on my internal sd card.07:25
megabyte405mattbmc: well, the minimum for regular stuff and the minimum for extra stuff are two different things - I'd say just click and isntall a few things from maemo.org and you'll get all the repositories you need :D07:25
pupniki think i've finalized my on-screen button design - it will fit to the right of any 640x480 game.  Feel free to use it.  http://pupnik.de/buttons3.png07:25
pupnikit's a little uneven but it's hardly noticeable on the 770 screen07:26
mattbmcmegabyte405:  That's just about what I did to get from the fresh OS install to the point where the Canola install failed....07:26
megabyte405mattbmc: is this the new 2007 n800 firmware?07:26
megabyte405there was something weird with canola wanting to be first or close to first07:26

Luriaor something07:35
Luriaiirc07:35
Luriaok, so i have a silly question. you connect to a host via ssh. you want to download a remote file. is there a way to do it without starting a second local shell and scping? or can openssh spawn it from inside the session?07:38
Luriai saw some gui clients can do it, but i suspect they are just starting a second connection...07:39
mattbmcDepending on your circumstances you might be able to initiate the tranfer from the session you are in, but from the far side.     This probably isn't quite what you were looking for tho.07:40
Luriayeah, i thought back to the days of sz :-)07:41
mattbmczmodem or somesuch would still be an option if yout clients are compatible.  ;-)07:41
mattbmchavben't seen one of those since the early 90's tho07:42

Luriawow. qmodem doesnt have a wikipedia page.07:48
mattbmcWow....I get it, but I don't think I ever ran into that.....by 93 I was already doing dial up internet instead of BBS's.07:49
mattbmcWish I would have known tho....JPG's we SOO SLOOOOOW back then!   ;-)07:49
mattbmcQmodem was terminal software for the PC vs a transfer protocol tho, wasn't it?    Seems I remember using that on a friends 286.  :)07:50
Luria1993, i started doing slip or similar over a borrowed dialup shell07:50
Luriaah, the ftp archives at wustl...07:50
Luriatoo much nostalgia07:50
Luriayeah, qmodem was great DOS terminal software07:51
mattbmcway cool.  :)  I actually managed to keep the same email address from the early 90's up until about 3 years ago when the company (coil.com) just seemed to dry up and blow away.07:51
Luriaqmodem had great xfer protocol support and a nice scripting language07:51
mattbmcWUSTL and UMICH.....07:51
mattbmcbeing an Atari aficianado UMICH was my home away from home. ;-)07:52

mattbmcI do miss the BBS days....8-bit computers were great.07:54
Luriait was funny. my school had a copy of pcboard that was unused. so when hayes came out with 28.8 V.FC modems, i made a deal with the school sysadmin...07:54

mattbmcWow...great link!08:00
Luriaso we had to try it...08:00
mattbmcyeah,no doubt08:00
Luriawe got like 500k08:00
mattbmcvery interesting times....I was working at CompuServe during the 28.8 revolultion....they had a bg partnership with US Robotics (think there ended up being some insider trading involved) for the chips and built all their own modem boards....pretty sure they were the first (and prolly only for a little while) quad 28.8 modem boards in existence.08:00
mattbmcthat's crazy!08:01
mattbmc;)08:01
Lurialater on, hayes kept good to their word and sent us rom upgrade chips for proper v.34 - with a new faceplate to reflect the new spec.08:01
Luriawow08:01
mattbmcThey also built all their own X.25 routers for their network......they had X.25 links running at 2mb/s!!08:01
Luriathat was a fun time08:01
mattbmcv.34 was 28.8 or 33.6?08:02

mattbmcWhew!08:03
mattbmcthat really was a pretty amazing modem to be able to pull those speeds08:03

Luriahuh. who knew - from wikipedia:Hayes originally had big plans for the form factor, referring to it as the Hayes Stack and intending to release a range of products that could be stacked beside the computer. In the end, the only non-modem device to be added to the line was the Hayes Stack Chronograph, an external real-time clock whose sales were apparently dismal. Early advertising referred to the Smartmodem as the "Ha08:41

DrakesonLuria: I need to get a few devices with open source platform. I am looking into n800+maemo and openmoko now.23:26
LuriaDrakeson - interesting stuff23:27
Drakesonit seems that n800 is much more stable than openmoko's devices, but I need accelerometers and they have planned it23:27
GrumpyOldMansee if anyone is makining a accelerometer sd card ?23:27
Luriai think the usb approach is more useful23:28
GrumpyOldManuse a wiimote ?23:28
Luriawiimote is a major hassle.23:28
Drakesonit (openmoko's next device) will not be released soon though, so it helps me if I know if accelerometers are planned in a future release for n800(or next)23:28
GrumpyOldManyeah but its fun for wiisaber and well for the wii.23:29
Luriavery little data about future internet tablets23:29
Drakesoniphone could be a good choice if it would had an open platform, and would be available here23:29
Luriaa hacker buddy and i bought our n800s at the same time, and proceeded to play with them 'til 5am the next morning...23:29
Luriahe brought his wiimote along23:30
Luriabest he could do was pairing and *maybe* button presses, iirc23:30
LuriaDrakeson, the n800 would be a better choice, if it had an accelerometer :-)23:30
Drakesonyeah, I don't think wii could do any good for me23:30
Luriawhat i mean is, i would expect an open accelerometer hack before an open iphone.23:31
suihkulokkiwiimote works very well in linux, so it should not be hard to use with n80023:31
Luriaman, i need to get me one of those wiimotes.23:32
GrumpyOldManworks great in osx too.23:32
Luriaerr, now that there are some people here, is anyone using the n800 with cingular?23:32
suihkulokkialternatively you can use the camera for motion detection,  but that's quite low quality23:32

GrumpyOldManspeed as of last year was only 80kps before iphone lauch it was just over 200kps. after iphone launch speed vary as to how many crazy iphone ppl are around.23:35
trevarthanGrumpyOldMan: I dunno. Looks a lot less polished than the current n800...23:35
GrumpyOldManissue with edge is the suck ass latency.23:35
Luriai was getting 14k on a class 4 edge phone in manhattan.23:35
GrumpyOldManI think the current n800 is ugly looking. I like the look of the 770 more.23:35
GrumpyOldManLuria: jesus... the iphone ratio in manhattan has to be NUTS.23:36
Luriayeah, im glad i got an n800, but the 770 is much nicer looking23:36

pupniksay, chrono trigger or summat23:38
trevarthanme too.23:38
GrumpyOldManI'll just have to camp out at the local store for leopard launch... I was first in line at the tiger launch... course i kind of cheated... I had a female geek friend of mine go earlier... and she switched places with me... so she was stuck being #223:39
trevarthanmario23:39
Luriaactually, i did go to the 5th ave store after 3am once.... i was sober, but my friend was a bit high. she ended up buying an imac, but i dont think there was a causal relationship.23:39
pupniktrevarthan: you don't have a n800?23:39
trevarthanno, I do.23:39
GrumpyOldMantyping on my mbp... since my nokia 770 display is useless :(23:39
trevarthandidn't know snes9x was prepackaged for it though... is it?23:39
Luriai cant believe some of the nokia support decisions.23:40
pupnikNot packaged, it's a work in progress... http://pupnik.de/snes9x_maemo.tgz23:40
GrumpyOldManLuria: like ?23:41
Luriai went to the nokia flagship store on 57th st as a last resort to buy a replacement headset23:41
pupnikBut DrPocketSNES is much faster, and that requires more work to port23:41
trevarthanI wonder how much money the n800 makes for nokia. They keep working on it, so it can't be that bad, but it seems like a highly hacker oriented device.23:41
Luriathey had none for sale - though they were kind enough to give me an out of box spare23:41
Luriai offered to pay even, but they wouldnt take my money23:41
trevarthanpupnik: I've got some limited experience hacking snes9x for mythgame a while back.23:41
Luriabut here's the thing -23:42
Luriathey didnt have it in their system. they called their local  support store, they didnt have it either.23:42
Lurian800 case? not in their system23:42
Luriai dont get it23:43
pupniktrevarthan: well the internal fps counter seems to be inaccurate on this build on n800.  I do see 30fps on some demos and simple games - ones that make limited use of PPU features... http://pupnik.de/770_snes9x_pacman.jpg23:44
trevarthanpupnik: 1.) why is DrPocketSNES more work? 2.) why is it faster?23:44

Luriahuh. there is a baretta flagship store in manhattan. who knew?23:45
Luriai wonder who shops there?23:46
pupniktrevarthan: 1) it's built for the gp2x and uses some gp2x libs and the framebuffer 2) there are various engines for different SNES components - DrPocketSnes uses the fastest core components available, and is slightly less accurate/compatible than snes9x23:46

trevarthanyeah, I saw that23:46
trevarthanso.... can you run mario on the 770? is it playable?23:47
pupnikhaven't tried mario - get about 5 fps on Chrono without sound23:47
trevarthanpupnik: I see... http://www.internettablettalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=574223:48
Luriai wish they had added some extra buttons to the n80023:50
Lurialike *anything* on the right side23:50
* pupnik heartily agrees23:50
Luriabt gamepads seem to be a no go after 30 min of google searching, but i would love to be wrong23:51
trevarthanI think the wiimote works.23:51
pupnikAnything BT means you need to set the nokia on a table or lap-board.  When that is avaialbe, i just use the BT keyboard for gaming23:51
trevarthangamepads are more fun, IMO.23:52
Luriapupnik, almost true - but not if you made it into a clip on system23:52
trevarthanbesides, you could always mount the n800 on a headrest in the car and use the wiimote for remote control and gaming.23:53
trevarthanmy son would love that during long trips. :)23:53
trevarthanI might buy a wiimote and integrate it with Kagu sometime. that would be pretty cool for the car.23:54
Luriahttp://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=BT-GAMEPAD-WHT&cat=NET23:54
Lurialike so23:54
tigertI think keeping the n800 in a table is kinda an insult to the whole idea of the device :)23:54
Luriatrevarthan - punch up the volume?23:54
trevarthanLuria: what?23:55
Luriaincrease volume play back by punching with the wiimote :-)23:55
Luriaerr playback volume. beware of using cut and paste to edit yourself :-/23:56
trevarthanoh yeah. I hadn't thought about the accelerometer. :) That would be cool! :)23:56
*** GrumpyOldMan has quit IRC23:56
trevarthanshoot. I might buy a wiimote for a robotics project. Gut it and use the accelerometer via bluetooth.23:57
Luriai dont know why you would build it where there are wiimotes to break apart, but23:58

trevarthanyeah, sparkfun makes one too. But the wiimote would be easier, I think.23:58
