*** ryanfaerman has joined #maemo06:00
yssslol06:00
pupnikysss: are you interested in emulation and have some coding experience?06:00
ysss15fps should be ok06:00
*** ryanfaerman has quit IRC06:01
*** ryanfaerman has joined #maemo06:01
ysssI've unuseful coding experience, but have a heavy stock of emulation uhm assets..06:01
pupnikok, there are a lot of arm emulators from the gp2x scene that could work on the nokias06:02
[1]a-l-p-h-aI made the mistake of connecting the mail program connect to gmail.  anyone know how to clear all emails easily06:02
[1]a-l-p-h-a?06:02

yssspupnik: have you tried booting n800 from SD? Is it true that it behaves badly w/ the AC adapter?06:02
*** dirty_harry has joined #maemo06:02
pupniki only have 770 - and i boot from mmc and only have occasional strangeness06:02
yssspupnik: yes, I have a gp2x so I never looked for emulation on other platform since the gp2x does it so nicely. ScummVM on n800 is quite awesome though.06:03
yssspupnik: what strangeness did you find and how often?06:03
pupnikon...06:04
pupnikvery seldom -06:04
pupnikysss: we need those gp2x emus06:04
pupnikysss: is there a software emulator for gp2x?06:04
pupniki also have some unreleased ports if you want to help test06:05
yssspupnik: I didn't participate in gp2x developments, so I don't know.06:06
yssspupnik: sure I'll test as long as it has little risk on my n800, because i use it daily.06:06
pupnikwell those guys did great work06:06
pupniknobody on planet earth is working to port gp2x emus to nokia06:07
ysssYeah, it's the best portable emulation platform i've seen yet. i don't get why they didn't upgrade the CPU on their new machine though.06:07

roopei was just backlog reading.09:21
latzkohm. apt-get works but apps with gui and net does not. do you have any clue?09:21

timelyxroope: i did a large part of the bugs.maemo.org reorg using my n800 w/ e61i offering the connectivity :)09:22
timelyxyeah, that password part is a problem. for me i just log into gmail and get it09:22
roopethat's because the n800 was so good.09:22
roope;)09:23
timelyxyeah, complete w/ microb :)09:23
timelyxit actually worked quite well09:23
timelyxi could have done it from my e61i, but i'd have used SSH to screen to lynx09:23
timelyxno way i'd use the gui browser to do it09:23
timelyxits window handling is awful09:23
timelyxwait09:24
timelyxthis guy wants window switching?09:24
jarnoWhat kind process is convert python programs to different hardware?Like Linux 386 to Nokia tablets?09:24
timelyxysss__: what's wrong w/ the hardware home key?09:24
jarnohttp://www.internettablettalk.com/forums/showthread.php?p=72065#post7206509:24
timelyxjarno: python w/ ui or python w/o?09:24
timelyxw/o it might just plain work unless the programmer tried very hard to be annoying09:25
roopewe do have a couple of interesting concepts for window switching, but not like a button in the toolbar.09:25
timelyxdepending on how good you want the gui integration you'd have to port to pymaemo or something09:26
timelyxroope: personally, i'd veto a button in the toolbar09:26
timelyxi already have:09:26
timelyxglobe, rss, lock, tinyurlbar, go, back, forward, find09:26
timelyxwhere globe is heavily overloaded09:26
timelyxtinyurlbar is mildly overloaded (and likely to be more so eventually)09:27
timelyxgo is overloaded w/ reload and stop09:27
timelyxback/forward are fairly overloaded09:27
timelyxand find has a kitchen sink09:27
timelyxthe hardware home key already solves windowing09:27
timelyxi know. i used it a lot reorganizing bugzilla09:27
timelyxand it's fast, globally consistent, and actually works well09:28
timelyxnow, if you want to get me a good feature09:28
roopewith the current  design, yes.09:28

ysss__w/ limited screen space, i think it's inevitable to incorporate gestures to represent more actions.09:39
* timelyx kicks ysss__09:40
timelyxanyone suggesting gestures will be shot09:40
timelyxconsider yourself shot09:40
* ysss__ deftly dodges the attempt.09:40
* timelyx doesn't miss09:40
ysss__Why? It's conceptually sound.09:40
timelyxit breaks the web09:40
timelyxit breaks maps.google.com09:41
timelyxit breaks docs.google.com09:41
timelyxit breaks reader.google.com09:41
timelyxit isn't sound09:41
timelyxit's arrogant and stupid09:41
timelyxit makes suppositions which are known bad09:41
ysss__You have limited screen estate, you can only point at single pixel\icons currently, other than expanding the screen by smartly 'hiding' the elements, you can just incorporate motion...09:42
timelyxno.09:42
timelyxbecause the web applications respond to motion09:42
timelyxand then you break them09:42
ysss__How about gestures, but not on the whole screen.09:42
timelyxand then users complain09:42
ysss__only gestures that starts\ends on the toolbar, say.09:42
timelyxhow does that work when people full screen and turn off the toolbar?09:42
roopeinside the scope of the browser panning IS the gesture already.09:42
timelyxroope: which is the biggest pain i have09:42
timelyxit already breaks the web09:42
timelyxand people complain09:43
ysss__instead of back-forward (multiple icons), you have a joystick like interface (single dot), and this shouldn't break any web.09:43
timelyxand fairly loudly09:43
timelyxand not just people, managers  too09:43
roopewell, panning won't be going away.09:43
timelyxroope: actually, it might09:43
roopeno, it wont. :)09:43
*** NetBlade has quit IRC09:43
timelyxysss__: personally, i think expose style is the only way to go09:43
timelyxthat's probably pie menus and friends09:43
timelyxwhere you use a button offscreen (the app menu button would work)09:44
timelyxget a pretty overlay w/ all sorts of things09:44
ysss__timelyx: that's the screen estate expansion.. but it involves extra step, yeah?09:44
timelyxi'm not pushing that yet09:44
timelyxit's safe09:44
timelyxyou press the hardware menu key09:44
timelyxyou can't try to use any pixel of real estate09:45
timelyxnor any direction09:45
*** geaaru has joined #maemo09:45
timelyxnor any timing09:45
timelyxbecause a web app is free to rely on all of them09:45
timelyxyou need a way to say "i need talk to the browser and not the web app"09:45
ysss__well, yes.09:45
timelyxgood,09:45
ysss__i don't think completely free-hand gesture works, due to the problem you've just described. What I mean is that it's a logical method to expand the function of existing widgets.09:47
roopegestures are useful as shortcuts.09:47
ysss__Like the joystick analogy, or iphone's sliding button, etc.09:47
roopebut they cannot be the only bethod to access something.09:47
timelyx++roope09:47
roopemost users never find them.09:47
timelyx++roope09:47
ysss__Yes, agreed.09:47
timelyxanyway, while i'm a power user09:47
timelyxi will not design for power users09:48
timelyxmy primary goal is:09:48
timelyx1. do not break the web09:48
timelyxmy secondary goals are:09:48
timelyx2. do not break the web09:48
timelyx3. see rule #109:48
ysss__pulldown menus are conceptually already incorporating gestures. and it works.09:48
timelyxi have tertiary goals of course...09:48
timelyxysss__: actually, it doesn't09:48
timelyxroope will almost certainly tell you that people don't discover the app menu in the home scxreen09:49
roopegoing outside the discussion scope of the browser, yes we'll have more gestures09:49
ysss__you click on the menu, it expands, you slide and navigate to the desired item.09:49
timelyxand often the app menu in applications09:49
roopeinside the scope of the browser, i don't really see much happening.09:49
timelyxi will try to provide solutions. and they probably will include things like oriented navigtion09:50
timelyxbut they will have to be modal in the sense that you trigger them, use them, and then discard them09:50
timelyxthey won't be modal in the "you can't interact w/ anything else while open" sense09:50
timelyxbut they probably will mean "you can't interact directly with things beneath this"09:50
timelyxi tried sketching it once on my laptop, i'm not sure if my laptop has blue screened since then09:51
timelyxit's hard to keep track, my mac panic'd this week and i'm pretty sure my laptop bluescreened09:51

timelyxbut it's not because of load, i'm not killing the box w/ load09:52
ysss__gesture works quite well on viewing documents (picsel browser), I guess the main sticking point w/ the browser is that it's an always expanding application by itself.09:52
timelyxysss__: gestures are fine for dead trees09:53
timelyxas long as the thing you're poking won't poke back, no problem09:53
ysss__yep09:53
timelyxbut wait until your yabber chat includes a flash avatar09:53
timelyxflash is equivalent to the web browser09:53
timelyxwait until the pdf viewer stops sucking (this may take several years)09:54
ysss__They have picsel browser for the linux motorola phone (e680 or whatever).. it'd be nice if they release for maemo, seeing Nokia already has areement w/ Picsel in the past.09:54
timelyxpdf documents can be full applications09:54
* timelyx tries to remember which other things are out there09:54
timelyxwait until media player supports SMIL applications09:54
timelyxor Flash for that matter ...09:54
timelyxthose are both full applications09:54
timelyxor rather application hosts09:54
timelyxwait until image viewer supports full SVG09:55
timelyxSVG is a complete application host09:55
timelyxhrm, what am i missing?09:55
ysss__yeah09:55
ysss__i'm missing my lunch09:55
timelyxnow, you might say, "oh, it's only a browser problem"09:55
timelyxbut it isn't09:55
timelyxand you or whomever says it is shortsighted (and stuck in 1989)09:56
timelyxsince most of these have been around since the early 90s09:56
timelyxcertainly interactive PDFs09:56
timelyx(yes, our pdf viewer is absolutely useless and doesn't even support forms)09:56
ysss__does evince?09:56
timelyxFlash probably dates to 9509:56
timelyxin my testing? no.09:57

timelyxbefore SVG was WMF, i can't recall if it supported interaction09:58
*** hidave has joined #maemo09:58
timelyxoh, there was also VML which predates SVG09:58
timelyxit kinda died, but practically speaking it's coming back09:58
timelyxthere's also of course standard "applications" like "maemo mapper"09:58
timelyxif they try to emulate google maps, then you can't use whatever "clever" gestures you invent09:59
timelyxfor the same reason09:59
timelyxthe only solution you have is something like the DOOM (?) port which has a special area you can use as a tap region09:59
ysss__Have you used picsel?09:59
timelyxseems like it requires flash?10:00
timelyxi think roope (?) mentioned it10:00
timelyxthe special area is basically my plan for browser...10:00
ysss__Btw, I don't -like- gesture for the sake of having gesture, I just think it's an underused method that -can- be incorporated smartly to expand user interaction. Both in capability and convenience.10:01
timelyxi don't dislike it just for the sake of disliking it10:01
timelyxi have good reasons for disliking it10:01
timelyxdiscoverability, failure to solve the root problem of needing a normal way to do something, and breaking the web10:01

* timelyx neither10:05
_Monkeyneither are great reasons to consider it10:05

timelyxour device can't handle the load10:05
*** zwnj has quit IRC10:06
timelyxand making it too easy to switch windows or have lots of windows will fool users into believing it can10:06

*** jonek has joined #maemo10:06

timelyxpeople will complain or ask for a way to change it10:07
*** guardian has joined #maemo10:07
MoRpHeUztimelyx: good point about browser's tabs....10:08
ysss__i use 2 to 3 (no more than that) browser windows when i have to multitask.10:08
timelyxi find myself using 4, which is basically asking for crashes10:08
ysss__i want to load new links in background because when i use gprs it's dog slow, and i want it to start loading while i focus on the current window.10:08
timelyxi'm usually only really using 310:08
timelyxysss__: yeah, thing is.... you don't need to do that10:09
timelyxare you paying for gprs bits or just airtime?10:09
timelyxgecko has a feature to precache links10:09
ysss__loading in background will help mask, or alleviate the limitations of the platform (slower performance, high probability of being tethered to slow connnection also)10:09
*** jonek has quit IRC10:09
timelyxbut the problem is...10:09
timelyxin the states especially, but presumably everywhere else10:09
timelyxif you're using gprs, you're paying for bandwidth10:10
timelyxwhich means anything we download for you costs money10:10
ysss__not everywhere else definitely10:10
*** jonek has joined #maemo10:10
timelyxi say for you. because nokia pays my bill, and therefore i personally shouldn't care10:10
ysss__heh10:10
timelyxbut my sister complains about minutes that i spend when i call her10:10
timelyxand she'd complain if i sent her an sms10:10
timelyx(which is reasonable since it's cheaper for me to call her and easier for both of us if i use email)10:11
timelyxand most plans in the states/canada charge a fair bit by the byte10:11
timelyxnow, it's true, apple (*not* nokia) is changing this10:11
timelyxbut until it does, turning on a precache feature by default is a really bad idea10:12
timelyxif you have microb, you can see if the feature works10:12
timelyx(i don't use it)10:12
ysss__but what does bandwidth cost has to do with having an (optional?) feature of loading new links in the background?10:14
timelyximagine instead of having to click links10:15
timelyxthat your browser automatically precached the content for the links10:15
ysss__I see this having to do more w/ browsing habit and slow connections.10:15
timelyxw/o loading them10:15
timelyxnote that loading is the expensive thing to the browser10:15
timelyxit doesn't mind downloading10:15
timelyxbut loading is *very* expensive10:15
timelyxit requires lots of memory and lots of cpu10:15
ysss__I'd be pissed and confused, because that's such a wasteful logic.10:15
* timelyx shrugs10:16
ysss__because it very likely will be loading links that I will probably not open.10:16
*** sp3000 has joined #maemo10:16
timelyx*shrug*10:16
timelyxif you're not paying for bandwidth but value time, it could be worth it10:16
ysss__I think we're talking about a different thing..?10:16
timelyxif you're paying for bandwidth10:16
timelyxthen i suggest not opening links in background10:17
timelyxyou can easily end up downloading a huge thing that you don't want10:17
timelyxor worse, your browser will probably crash and you'll have no idea why10:17
ysss__when I say load things in the background, I mean I choose a link, select to 'open it in new window', and have the window load NOT IN FOCUS10:17
timelyxyes, i know10:17
ysss__not precache all links on your current page10:17
timelyxactually, the algorithm doesn't pick them all10:18

timelyxit sounds like BeOS twicher10:58
timelyxtoo bad BeOS had it um...10:58
timelyx15 years ago10:58
konttoripretty good actual user test video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2dZ5krLWcq4&NR=110:59
timelyxare they replacing the awful nav button w/ a better one?10:59
konttoridpad? Well, judging from the video, it's different, and I hope it's impossible to make a worse dpad.11:00
* timelyx chuckles11:00
timelyxi've seen most of those bits, both hardware and software demod11:00
timelyxi wonder if there's a public announcement about the other detail11:00
timelyxbut yeah, overall it looks like an improvemnet11:01
timelyxent11:01
timelyxi'd still probably buy a gen2 iPhone or a gen 2 gPhone11:01
konttorithe latter video says the controls are of ngage class, but then again, it's produced by NokNokTv, so I wouldn't trust it that much11:02
timelyxi played w/ the iPhone last friday for <20mins, and the features it has work better than the two videos you linked11:02
timelyxand i presume that nokia put their best face forward11:02
timelyxwhereas i managed to crash safari on the iPhone :)11:02
*** red-zack has quit IRC11:03

konttoriNice. Did it run out of mem or what crashed it?11:04
konttoriI would think that webkit is already stable enough itself.11:04
timelyxdunno11:04
timelyxi wasn't using a complicated page in the end11:04
MKBporbably just timelyx's bad gadget karma :P11:04
timelyxalthough i had loaded planet earlier11:04
timelyxi think it ended up being a simple bugzilla page that did it in :)11:05
timelyxkonttori: all things considered, it's still not so bad11:05
konttorithe 'new navi wheel' looks quite tedious to use. The circle is so small.11:05
*** tank17 has joined #maemo11:05
timelyxi bluescreened the samsung Q1 when i got it11:05
timelyxin approximately similar testing11:05
konttoritrue. Might be a nice phone in the end. And I love the A + B button placement there.11:05
timelyxis this the n81?11:06
konttoriyeah.11:06
timelyxhttps://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=394208 sad11:06

timelyxso it has a b. does it have select start?11:07
konttoriWell, it has other buttons. I suppose they can be used for select start.11:07
konttoriselect start are not that used, so their placement is not that important11:08
timelyxmodern gamepads have ab xy lr select start11:08
timelyxor at least, they did when i was growing up11:09
timelyxthe wii is of course slightly different from the snes11:09
timelyxor n6411:09
konttoriyeah, well, of course xy would be nice, but AB are the necessities. XY are nice but not a must have.11:09
* timelyx nods11:10
timelyxgetting ab is definitely a good start11:10
timelyxbut it's like, hello, welcome to 198511:10
timelyxi'm glad nokia is out of the stone age and only 20 years behind11:10
*** guardian has quit IRC11:10
konttoritrue. But then again, the casual games you'd play on mobile phone don't necessarily need that many keys anyway.11:11
timelyxdepends what you're trying to do11:11
konttoriI don't see myself playing street fighter on that thing.11:11
timelyxi played actraiser on my sony ericsion s710a11:11
timelyxit worked quite well11:11
*** red-zack has joined #maemo11:11
timelyxi'd never consider doing it on any of the nokia phones i have11:12
konttoriI might like to play final fantasy or just about any casual game. Most of them do pretty well with just 2 buttons.11:12
timelyxand i have probably 4 atm w/ a 5th on the way11:12
konttoriI had ngage, which was really great for picodrive.11:12
*** guardian_ is now known as guardian11:12
timelyxpicodrive?11:12
konttoriI played through the megadrive catalogue that I originally missed with it.11:12
konttoriYeah, you get 100% speed on full screen for megadrive / genesis games11:13
konttoriand state saving and loading with touch of a button. thus, it was perfectly fine for casual sessions as well.11:13
timelyxsorry, i don't recognize picodrive, is it a game or an engine? i could google, but i'm reading one of your links11:13
konttoripicodrive is a megadrive / genesis emulator11:14
konttoriuses cyclone, a pure ARM assember emulator of 68000 processor11:14

konttoriNokia should put an emu there with DRM and agree with sega to start selling original genesis catalogue for it.11:16
timelyxanyway, i'm not really sure i want games specificlaly11:16
timelyxi mostly want it to be possible11:16
konttorinow that would make ngage a true platform instantly11:16
timelyxif the device can't handle them, it's in trouble11:16
timelyxwhat prevents nintendo someday from moving into the cell industry? :)11:17
konttoriI think nintendo is wise enough company to focus on gaming.11:17
timelyxthey have better ui engineers, better customer relations, better marketing ...11:17
konttoriit might add audio / video conferencing to mobile and tv platforms, but nintendo will always focus on gaming first.11:18
timelyxthey already have a web browser11:18
timelyxbut yeah, i don't expect them to move away from game as core11:18
bilboedanybody knows if those new nokia devices are maemo-based ?11:18
timelyxbut that doesn't mean their devices couldn't come in and kill11:18
timelyxbilboed: they aren't11:18
timelyxthey're s6011:18
konttorithey are S60 based11:18
bilboedtimelyx, argh, sucks11:18
timelyxnokia is converging on ideas11:19
timelyxso similar things might come from maemo too11:19
timelyxbut nokia likes reinventing the same bad or good ideas more than once11:19
bilboed:)11:19
timelyxmore chances for different mistakes and inconsitencies11:19
konttoriyeah, and next big maemo release might be a leap forward.11:19

eijkssvb: I just wanted to follow up on the memory corruption issue: It's currently completely gone for me!16:00
eijkssvb: I don't know how I should reproduce it now. So I am absolutely puzzled, what was causing it...16:00
eijkssvb: I had been on a bike trip with it, maybe it was humidity?16:00
eijkssvb: That could maybe reduce isolation between circuits of the WLAN and the memory controller or something like that?16:01
*** krau has quit IRC16:03
ssvbeijk: when I investigated this issue, it really could disappear suddenly and show up again with no visible reason16:05
eijkssvb: Hmm... you were in favour of a software reason, but doesn't this rather sound like hardware problems?16:06
ssvbeijk: by the way, do you have a stable wlan connection? my wireless router is behind two concrete walls, so signal quality is not the best16:07
*** krau has joined #maemo16:07
eijkeijk: Yes, the wlan connection is pretty solid: The router is only two meters away in the same room. (It crashes from time to time, though...)16:08

eijkStupid, talking to myself...16:08
*** matt_c has joined #maemo16:09
*** chenca has joined #maemo16:09
ssvbeijk: memtester reports addresses of memory which it considers bad, the point is that the offset of this bad address within 1K memory block was a constant value for one firmware revision, but a different constant value for another firmware16:09
eijkssvb: Hmm, for me it was never constant, if I remember correctly...16:09
ssvbeijk: for hardware fault I would expect either completely random addresses or a constant address not depending on firmware revision16:10
*** Andy80 has quit IRC16:10
eijkssvb: Also, the problems already started with the "stuck memory address" test. So the other tests are not very reliable according to the documentation...16:10
ssvbeijk: so this is what makes me think that it is a software problem16:10
eijkssvb: Hmm... The other thing is, that I am not sure, a user land application really sees true hardware adresses...16:11

ssvbeijk: http://lists.maemo.org/pipermail//maemo-developers/2006-September/005607.html16:24

ssvbeijk: s/is/if16:34
*** konttori_ has joined #maemo16:37
ssvbeijk: so I suppose there might be something like 'use after free problem' in wifi driver: it could probably allocate some block of memory, free it, but continue to use it, overwriting the memory which could have been allocated to some other program already16:42
*** DaniloCesar has quit IRC16:42
ssvbeijk: but that's only a speculation16:42

eijkssvb: I tried different sizes, 4, 8, 16, 2416:48
eijkssvb: But if the problem occured didn't really depend on the size. When I had problems, I already had them with "4".16:48
*** pleemans has quit IRC16:49
eijkssvb: did you already see the problems at the "stuck address" test?16:51
ssvbeijk: the problem occured when you were 'lucky' enough to get a problematic memory page allocated as part of your memory block16:51
ssvbeijk: with a larger memory block, the chance of catching it should be higher, 24MB is only ~1/3 of all the memory available on the device16:52
eijkssvb: Ok, sounds like a little different problem to me... For me, if it happened, it more or less happened all the time...16:53
ssvbeijk: repeateable runs of the test program are likely to get the same memory allocated16:53
*** db48x has quit IRC16:53
eijkssvb: well, in a way i had a similar impression: when using only 4 MB, I sometimes had to start a second time in order to induce problems...16:54
eijkssvb: with 24, it failed everytime16:54
*** lardman|away is now known as lardman16:55
ssvbeijk: what sounds different? once you catch the problem, repeatable runs of memtester always confirm it16:56
ssvbeijk: similarly if memtester run was 'successful', you are likely to get the same 'successful' result if you try to run memtester several more times in a row16:58

mgedminon the other hand, it crawls over your whole filesystem, so if you have many files & directories it may have some impact21:01
