| ds3 | isn't the external SD slot on the N800 SDIO capable? | 00:15 |
| alterego | ds3, it should be. | 00:15 |
| ds3 | Hmmm SDIO GPS on the N800 + BT keyboard is another way to whittle away at the 810 | 00:16 |
| alterego | Presuming it's wired correctly up to the CPU :) | 00:16 |
| *** etrunko has joined #maemo | 00:16 | |
| pupnik_ | no alignment warnings in dmesg | 00:16 |
| ds3 | know if the N800 has the same SDIO controller as all the other omap2 processors? | 00:16 |
| alterego | ds3, it should be identical. | 00:16 |
| alterego | I don't see any reason for it to be different .. | 00:17 |
| ds3 | nice, then SDIO GPS should be doable | 00:17 |
| ||cw | isn't sdio a driver problem? or does nokia have a license for it? | 00:17 |
| ds3 | IIRC, the omap tree has a working SDIO driver for some stuff | 00:17 |
| ||cw | one of the issues with linux iPaq's was that HP wouldn't supply an sdio driver | 00:17 |
| alterego | A driver problem? I thought the source was released with the generic OMAP kernel tree .. | 00:17 |
| ||cw | was it? it's been a couple years | 00:17 |
| ds3 | ||cw, I don't think anyone ported the code to the PXA yet | 00:18 |
| alterego | ||cw, the iPaq's are Intel SA right? | 00:18 |
| ||cw | i dn't recall | 00:18 |
| alterego | XScale like the Palms .. | 00:18 |
| ||cw | yeah, xscale | 00:18 |
| ds3 | think the later iPaqs are PXAs, earlier ones were SA's | 00:18 |
| alterego | That would probably be why. | 00:18 |
| alterego | XScale is SA. | 00:19 |
| alterego | Well, XScale was Intel's Strong ARM based CPU. | 00:19 |
| alterego | Obvisouly they're not being developed by some other company. | 00:19 |
| ds3 | no, XScale is the decendant of SA | 00:19 |
| ds3 | think SA is ARMv4 and Xscale is ARMv5, IIRC | 00:20 |
| alterego | -_- | 00:20 |
| alterego | You think .. | 00:20 |
| alterego | Sure there were v4 StrongARM's | 00:20 |
| ds3 | but then Xscale is on its 3rd owner | 00:21 |
| alterego | Who owned it before Intel? | 00:21 |
| ds3 | DEC | 00:21 |
| ds3 | DEC -> Intel -> Marvell | 00:21 |
| alterego | Ah | 00:21 |
| alterego | Strange :) | 00:21 |
| ds3 | Intel got it as part of some law suit settlement | 00:21 |
| alterego | They're nice chips. | 00:21 |
| alterego | Think I prefer the OMAP's though :) | 00:21 |
| ds3 | OMAPs would be nice if more docs were available | 00:22 |
| alterego | TI has a nicer attitude IMO | 00:22 |
| alterego | Docs on what? How much more do you need??! :) | 00:22 |
| ds3 | on all the peripherals | 00:22 |
| alterego | Sure, it'd be nicer if all the docs were in one place. | 00:23 |
| alterego | The kernel source they supply should be enough documentation in that regard ds3 :P | 00:23 |
| sxpert | like if docs for the dsp was available | 00:23 |
| alterego | They are available. | 00:23 |
| ds3 | alterego: I can't comment in detail but the kernel is only a fraction of the chip :( | 00:24 |
| alterego | You've lost me. | 00:24 |
| ds3 | the chip can do a lot more | 00:24 |
| alterego | Do you have an example? | 00:24 |
| alterego | I'm not sure what you're talking about :) | 00:24 |
| ds3 | i can't comment on that :( | 00:24 |
| alterego | NDA? ^_^ | 00:25 |
| ds3 | *nod* | 00:25 |
| alterego | Ah, very well. | 00:25 |
| alterego | May I ask who you're under an NDA with? | 00:25 |
| ds3 | you can ask, but I decline to say, sorry. | 00:25 |

| pupnik | Comments section... kill him with fire | 03:02 |
| pupnik | well looks like it's been debunked already | 03:04 |
| [31d1] | "i dont get it - it's neither a crappy cellphone nor is it windows xp" | 03:04 |
| pupnik | 1) "You have to spend *more* money on *another* smartphone." No, you can use an existing phone. | 03:04 |
| pupnik | yep | 03:04 |
| [31d1] | therefore it must not exist | 03:05 |
| [31d1] | i do think that teh N's don't make alot of sense if you're not a linux person | 03:05 |
| zerojay | Disagree. | 03:06 |
| zerojay | You don't need to know anything about Linux to use them as intended. | 03:06 |
| zerojay | It's once you want to go beyond that you need to learn. | 03:06 |
| zerojay | Which is good. | 03:07 |
| pupnik | Is double-tapping to zoom-in on a column of a webpage such a great idea? | 03:07 |
| zerojay | No. | 03:07 |
| [31d1] | yeah but out of the box i think they are kind of lame - at least comparatively | 03:07 |
| [31d1] | i gues fbreader and maemo mapper are bot worth at the least the price of a 770 | 03:07 |
| zerojay | A double tap is too easy to initiate by accident if you are scrolling and aren't pressing down quite hard enough. | 03:07 |
| pupnik | yeah | 03:07 |
| db48x | it may be a better idea when you're using your fingers | 03:08 |
| [31d1] | but all the kismet, ssh, fuse, terminal stuff is _solid-gold_ imo | 03:08 |
| db48x | since you have better tactile feedback | 03:08 |
| db48x | but I haven't used an iphone, so I don't know | 03:08 |
| zerojay | Great for about five minutes. | 03:09 |
| zerojay | Once the novelty of the interface wears off... not much left. | 03:09 |
| SLi | I often double-tap by mistake while trying to tap-and-hold. | 03:09 |
| zerojay | SLi: Same here. | 03:09 |
| derf | I _really_ wish the required hold time was configurable. | 03:09 |
| zerojay | I'm sure it is. | 03:10 |
| derf | I thought it was hard-coded in the public headers. | 03:10 |
| zerojay | Buried somewhere in gconf, I'd imagine. | 03:10 |
| zerojay | Maybe. | 03:10 |
| zerojay | I haven't looked. | 03:10 |
| derf | Trust me, I looked. | 03:10 |
| zerojay | Nothing stopping you from recompiling with a different value. | 03:11 |
| derf | I'd have to recompile everything... and that's too much work. | 03:11 |
| derf | Especially since we don't have the source code for everything. | 03:11 |
| *** cypherbios has quit IRC | 03:12 | |
| SLi | I wonder if Nokia developed their own gps software for n810, bought it or modified something free. | 03:12 |
| derf | I'm sure they just bought it. | 03:12 |
| SLi | Probably yes. | 03:13 |
| derf | It is certainly not Maemo Mapper-based. | 03:13 |
| SLi | I hope it won't kill interest in maemo-mapper. | 03:13 |
| Fatal | that'd been a waste :) | 03:13 |
| zerojay | I doubt it. | 03:13 |
| zerojay | People won't always want to pay $100 for routes, etc.. | 03:14 |
| derf | In fact, people will refuse to. | 03:14 |
| zerojay | Some. | 03:14 |
| derf | Like me. | 03:14 |
| zerojay | Others will pay because it'll be easier for them to deal with. | 03:14 |
| SLi | Hm, right. Didn't think about their business model for the maps yet :) | 03:14 |
| zerojay | Maps are free. | 03:14 |
| derf | I also _really_ like being able to run a script and populate my POI database with entries from Wikipedia surrounding my current location. | 03:14 |
| zerojay | Routing, voice commands are extra. | 03:15 |
| SLi | Interesting. | 03:15 |
| zerojay | derf: How did you manage to do that? | 03:15 |
| derf | Someone wrote a Python script for it. | 03:15 |
| derf | Using Geoclue. | 03:15 |
| zerojay | I didn't see that. Send me a link? | 03:15 |
| zerojay | Oh. | 03:15 |
| zerojay | Geoclue's broken. | 03:15 |
| derf | Well, that's going to be a problem then. | 03:16 |
| zerojay | Well, maemoplazer's broken, actually. | 03:16 |
| zerojay | Because plazes changed their API. | 03:16 |
| zerojay | I think Geoclue was recently fixed. | 03:16 |
| derf | I've been meaning to integrate it into Maemo Mapper itself, so you could just use the GPS directly. | 03:16 |
| derf | (and so I didn't need an 8MB Python interpreter for a 200-line script) | 03:16 |
| zerojay | Well, quite a lot of people have Python installed anyways. | 03:17 |
| *** Vudentz has quit IRC | 03:17 | |
| derf | It is literally the only reason I have it installed. | 03:17 |
| db48x | if the python interpreter was smaller, the script would end up being longer | 03:17 |
| derf | db48x: Not really. | 03:17 |
| SLi | Yeah, but not 8 MB :) | 03:17 |
| derf | It does all the work with dbus and 3rd party libraries, anyway. | 03:17 |
| derf | I mean, it would probably be 300 lines of C. | 03:18 |

| ds3 | it is not just willingness to pay for maps... it is more of willingness to pay for ACCURATE maps | 03:19 |
| SLi | Commercial maps have deliberate mistakes to prove copyright infringement, I wonder if that's better. | 03:20 |
| derf | No, I would pay for maps. | 03:20 |
| derf | I would not pay a significant fraction of the cost of the device for maps. | 03:20 |
| ds3 | yahoo used to direct people into brick walls or locate addresses miles away from where it should be | 03:21 |
| derf | Especially when the marginal cost to them of the maps is virtuall $0. | 03:21 |
| SLi | Depends on the type of maps. Good 1:25000 or so maps with height curves and stuff (I forget what they are called in English) for the whole world, I might well pay 100 euros for them ;) | 03:21 |
| *** Pio_ has joined #maemo | 03:21 | |
| derf | Oh yeah, the whole world is also a must. | 03:22 |
| SLi | I think maps aren't very cheap to produce commercially. | 03:22 |
| zerojay | derf: Does the script work well? | 03:22 |
| ds3 | topological maps? | 03:22 |
| derf | zerojay: It's worked fine for me. | 03:22 |
| db48x | topographic is the word you're looking for | 03:23 |
| SLi | I guess. | 03:23 |
| ds3 | did see it but has it been confirmed if the 810 will do vorbis? | 03:24 |
| ds3 | and thorea | 03:25 |
| derf | It has been confirmed that they will not. | 03:25 |
| ds3 | ah :( | 03:25 |
| Ivan | Guys, does anyone use IDEA! ? | 03:25 |
| derf | Yes. :( | 03:25 |
| SLi | Officially? Unofficially? I guess they shouldn't been too hard to port, though, if the CPU is fast enough. | 03:26 |
| derf | The closest thing to a straight answer as to why that I've seen thus far is that their lawyers will not let them ship them. | 03:26 |
| SLi | -en | 03:26 |
| ds3 | lawyers would not let them ship vorbis?!! | 03:26 |
| SLi | Caution. That might be wise, for a company, maybe. | 03:26 |
| derf | Well, lardman is working on Vorbis. I'm hoping when he's made some progress to maybe take a look at Theora. | 03:26 |
| SLi | ds3, Fraunhofer (or someone else? I don't remember who) has asserted that there "must be" some of their patent minefield used in those, and that they will investigate and litigate if it gains enough market share. | 03:27 |
| ds3 | I'd be happier if they dropped MP3 entirely and went with Vorbis | 03:27 |
| ds3 | SLi: oh more FUD | 03:27 |
| derf | Never mind the fact that several independent patent reviews of Vorbis have been conducted, and all disagree with Fraunhofer. | 03:27 |
| *** Pio has quit IRC | 03:28 | |
| *** Pio_ is now known as PIo | 03:28 | |
| *** cesman has joined #maemo | 03:28 | |
| ds3 | they should litigate and get their patents declared invalid instead ;) | 03:28 |
| SLi | ds3, I know. Though they may be right. But I wouldn't be worried unless they identify some specific patent. After that, well, it would be tough for a company to quickly drop functionality from their devices. | 03:28 |
| derf | Yes. That would be nice. | 03:28 |
| db48x | FUD is easier | 03:28 |
| derf | Assuming we (Xiph) had any money to defend ourselves. | 03:28 |
| derf | Which, honestly, we do not. | 03:28 |
| ds3 | having seen then results with SCO... | 03:29 |
| derf | Well, the real reason they'll never sue us is that we don't have a bikkion dokkars. | 03:29 |
| SLi | Don't underestimate software patents. I'm not sure about sound/audio codecs (I'd guess they as heavily patented as compilers), but I'm confident that it isn't possible to write a modern compiler without infringing at least some granted sw patents (of course whether those patents are actually valid is another unsolved issue). | 03:30 |
| derf | SLi: Oh. I'm quite aware. | 03:30 |
| SLi | derf, that's why they will attack a major company, not the OSS developer community. | 03:30 |
| ds3 | when's the patent expire? | 03:31 |
| derf | SLi: Right. I didn't say I didn't understand why they chickened out. | 03:31 |
| SLi | Depends on the country. Usually something like 20 years. | 03:31 |
| ds3 | but when was it issued | 03:31 |
| SLi | Which patent? | 03:32 |
| ds3 | the MP3 ones | 03:32 |
| *** florian has quit IRC | 03:32 | |
| derf | But that doesn't change the fact that they gave up doing the right thing in order to do the easier thing. | 03:32 |
| *** bilboed has quit IRC | 03:32 | |

| SLi | http://www.tunequest.org/a-big-list-of-mp3-patents/20070226/ | 03:33 |
| SLi | The funny thing is, most big companies are protected against most other big companies because both have enough patents that are relevant to the other. | 03:35 |
| SLi | But it's companies that just (invent and) patent stuff that are problematic. | 03:35 |
| SLi | And of course it doesn't help you if you aren't a big company. :P | 03:35 |
| derf | SLi: Most patent troll companies do not do any actual inventing. | 03:36 |
| derf | They buy their patent portfolios. | 03:37 |
| derf | If they were comptent enough to actually innovate in some field, they wouldn't need to resort to litigation as a business model. | 03:37 |
| *** deejoe has quit IRC | 03:37 | |
| *** deejoe has joined #maemo | 03:37 | |
| SLi | derf, that's true. But if I've understood correctly, e.g. Fraunhofer Institute tries to live mostly on research and have little products of their own. | 03:38 |
| db48x | well, that or an MBA was competent enough to innovate in _his_ field, and invent the patent-litigation company | 03:38 |
| derf | db48x: Sadly, that is not a new innovation. | 03:38 |
| db48x | it was at some point | 03:39 |
| * db48x yawns | 03:40 | |
| db48x | my bedtime | 03:40 |
| SLi | Luckily, and sadly, sw patents are a bit of grey area nearly everywhere (if I've understood correctly, in the US they are quite mainstream accepted, but it hasn't been proven in the supreme court; In Japan they are quite definitely enforceable; and in Europe, we have de facto sw patents in most countries, and they are a very grey area). | 03:40 |
| SLi | My country, Finland supports software patents, because we are owned by Nokia. | 03:41 |
| db48x | heh | 03:41 |
| SLi | And US tries to push them hard to other countries too. | 03:41 |
| derf | Yes, because we own most of them. | 03:42 |
| SLi | I'm not sure how relevant that is, US patents wouldn't probably be directly enforceable elsewhere, but then, even now of course European companies can't sell stuff in US that infringes US patents. | 03:43 |
| derf | SLi: It's even worse than that. | 03:43 |
| zerojay | US laws might as well be world laws now. | 03:44 |
| derf | Europen companies cannot sell stuff in Europe that infringe US patents if they also wish to sell them in the US. | 03:44 |
| derf | Because the patent agreements they sign for the US demand royalties for everywhere else, also. | 03:44 |
| SLi | I.e. if you really want worldwide coverage, you have to patent it everywhere. Most companies dodge the expenses by getting patents only in a few key countries. | 03:44 |
| derf | Irregardless of jurisdiction. | 03:44 |
| zerojay | Makes me think about how they grabbed that Aussie teenager and extradited him for piracy to the US even though he's never been there. | 03:44 |
| SLi | Hmm, that kind of makes sense. | 03:44 |
| SLi | I once was in a heart rate monitor coder team in a company, I think it was in 2000... | 03:45 |
| SLi | We made distinct EU and US versions of our devices, with an one-bit difference in the code. | 03:45 |
| SLi | The EU version could show the amount of ascent or descent (it estimated it from air pressure variations), the US version could only show the start level and the current level. | 03:46 |
| *** |tbb1 has quit IRC | 03:46 | |
| SLi | In ft, estimated, from the sea level. | 03:46 |
| SLi | Because using air pressure variations to estimate amount ascended or descended was patented in the US! | 03:47 |
| SLi | Brillian. | 03:47 |
| SLi | +t | 03:47 |
| derf | Yes, who could possibly have come up with that idea. | 03:47 |
| *** greentux_ has joined #maemo | 03:48 | |
| SLi | Now I must say some ideas seem more brilliant, but I'm still not convinced that patents are the right way to protect them. | 03:48 |
| derf | They're not. | 03:48 |
| derf | For software in particular, patents do far more harm than good. | 03:49 |
| *** greentux has quit IRC | 03:49 | |
| SLi | For example, the devices had a way to transfer data to them from computers "using sound", i.e. you put them in front of your speaker and push a button in the Windows UI to play some sound. | 03:49 |
| derf | Pretty much every economic study in existence concludes the same thing. | 03:49 |
| pupnik | I don't see software patents requiring enough monetary investment to require patent protection. Weighed against the harms, benefits are negligible. | 03:49 |
| *** ville-_ has joined #maemo | 03:49 | |
| *** ville- has quit IRC | 03:49 | |
| SLi | The genious thing (that wasn't told to the user anyway) is that the sound was entirely a byproduct, the device used the magnetic field of the speaker. | 03:49 |
| derf | But see, that sounds like an actual device. | 03:50 |
| SLi | Now I don't like the patent system even outside the sw field, but I don't really know how such inventions should be protected either. Although I doubt innovation would stop even if the entire patent system was scrapped. | 03:50 |
| derf | I.e., someone had to build some hardware to measure the field. | 03:50 |
| SLi | Yeah, but the air pressure thing involves air pressure sensors too ;) | 03:51 |
| SLi | (And it's really just an antenna in the sound thing.) | 03:51 |
| derf | We do antenna design. It's not always as easy as you might think. | 03:52 |
| SLi | Yeah. | 03:52 |
| derf | But anyway... if the antenna itself was not patentable, I don't see why the software should've been. | 03:52 |
| derf | Just like if your air pressure sensors were not patentable, the software to estimate altitude from them should not have been, either. | 03:53 |
| SLi | Well, the argument usually goes, why should you be able to get around a patent just by using sw instead of hardware in some step? | 03:53 |
| SLi | That's why they try to talk a lot about "computer-implemented inventions". | 03:53 |
| derf | Well, that and the US Supreme Court has ruled they have to. | 03:54 |
| SLi | Because they argue that it's not in the nature of the inventions that you need a computer, you just can use a computer as a part of the invention and that arguably shouldn't get you around the patent protection. | 03:54 |
| pupnik | that's the german law iirc | 03:55 |
| SLi | Well, yeah, in US it's not the software that's patented, it's the computer that does something and the software just happens to be part of it. "Method and apparatus for ...". And showing stuff on the screen is considered a physical interaction with the world. | 03:55 |
| *** PIo is now known as Pio | 03:55 | |
| SLi | And the pro-patent people would like to confuse things in the EU in the same way. | 03:56 |
| pupnik | well it has kept ogg off my tablet, and for that alone i hate it. | 03:56 |
| pupnik | sorry to be so banal :) | 03:56 |
| bmidgley | ogg is mixed up with patents? | 03:56 |
| derf | The entire point of the Ogg project is to provide patent-unencumbered alteratives. | 03:57 |
| *** alex-weej has quit IRC | 03:57 | |
| pupnik | there are persistent rumors of threats by mp3 patentholders against ogg | 03:57 |
| SLi | And again, in some cases it kind of makes sense. If we assume the patent system is a good thing (which I generally don't), then it probably shouldn't be possible to get around a patent just by replacing some hardware with software. The problem is that software is becoming more and more powerful. | 03:57 |
| pupnik | they would probably never hold up in court | 03:57 |
| derf | Rumors that have all been well and thoroughly debunked. | 03:57 |
| derf | But not in a court of law. | 03:58 |
| pupnik | right, and the mp3 patentholders know this, so they don't sue - knowing that the threat is effective only until struck down | 03:58 |
| derf | The problem is that software is just math. | 03:58 |
| derf | And math is not, and should not, be patentable. | 03:58 |
| SLi | I agree wholeheartedly with that. | 03:59 |
| SLi | And interestingly in the US it's been ruled to be speech too. | 03:59 |
| pupnik | i could be wrong about patent threat affecting the decision to support ogg in dsp | 03:59 |
| SLi | Like a recipe. | 03:59 |
| pupnik | nice | 03:59 |
| derf | pupnik: You are not wrong. | 03:59 |
| SLi | And basically, patents shouldn't prevent people from telling how something is done. | 03:59 |
| derf | SLi: I thought that ruling went the other way. | 03:59 |
| SLi | But that's exactly what they do - with programs! | 03:59 |
| ds3 | I want a patent on PI! ;) | 03:59 |
| SLi | derf, it was in the PGP case. | 03:59 |
| derf | ds3: Apply for one. You'll probably get it. | 04:00 |
| SLi | derf, that got crypto export restrictions scrapped. | 04:00 |
| wumpus | pupnik: not the only problem of decoding ogg on the dsp | 04:00 |
| ds3 | derf: then file patent suits against all the universities ;) | 04:00 |
| pupnik | i think vorbisidec/tremor is free | 04:00 |
| wumpus | I wanted to implement it but decoding ogg takes *a lot* of memory | 04:00 |
| pupnik | ah :/ | 04:00 |
| derf | ds3: You're going about this wrong. | 04:00 |
| ds3 | give me a PhD or I'll sue you out of existance! =) | 04:00 |
| derf | Universities don't have any money. | 04:00 |
| derf | Sue the car manufacturers, for all their insidious WHEELS. | 04:01 |
| pupnik | wumpus: maybe you could hook up with other ppl to get it worked-out? | 04:01 |
| SLi | Some of the granted bogus patents are truly hilarious. | 04:01 |
| ds3 | but if you talk to PhD students and the number years of their lives they paid to get it, it is worth more then money! | 04:01 |
| SLi | Like the Method of Swinging on a Swing patent. | 04:01 |
| pupnik | i liked the patent on XOR in australia | 04:01 |
| pupnik | haha | 04:01 |
| derf | ds3: My Ph.D. only took 4 years. | 04:01 |
| SLi | And then someone patented wheel, literally, IIRC in Australia. The Swing patent was in the US. | 04:02 |
| derf | And I came out with a lot more money than I went in with. | 04:02 |

"To obtain the patent for a wheel would require a false claim, which is a very serious matter and would certainly invalidate the patent as well as amounting to a misrepresentation on the part of the applicant and unprofessional conduct by any professional advisor". | 04:13 |

| zerojay | thejapanesegeek: Sure. | 04:16 |
| thejapanesegeek | zerojay: I installed a bunch of apps on my n800. I didn't like that they where in the Extras folder, so I moved them out of that folder. | 04:17 |
| thejapanesegeek | The folder was still there, but empty. | 04:17 |
| thejapanesegeek | I deleted it, which may not have been a great idea. | 04:17 |

| rene4jazz | how can I install libhildonwidgets.so | 08:51 |
| rene4jazz | _ | 08:51 |
| rene4jazz | ? | 08:51 |
| rene4jazz | Oh, sorry I all ready have it in the target | 08:53 |
| zoran | :) | 08:53 |
| czr | that's akin to asking "how do I install libc.so"? | 08:54 |
| rene4jazz | I'm starting to know laika eclipse plugin for scratchbox development | 08:54 |
| czr | always raises a brow or two :-) | 08:54 |
| czr | someone actually uses eclipse for maemo development? | 08:54 |
| zerojay | Oooh.. you poor bastard. | 08:55 |
| rene4jazz | I'm a eclipse C developer, I'll try to setup de enviroment for maemo | 08:55 |
| rene4jazz | de = the | 08:55 |
| czr | rene4jazz, you develop eclipse? or use eclipse for C development? | 08:56 |
| rene4jazz | the last one (use eclipse for C development) | 08:56 |
| czr | ok. thought so :-) | 08:56 |
| zoran | have enough room on 770/800? | 08:56 |
| zoran | scratchbox? | 08:57 |
| _Monkey | scratchbox is a cross-compilation toolkit for maemo application development. Homepage: http://www.scratchbox.org/ Maemo 3.x (bora/N800) tutorial: http://qurl.org/yN Maemo 2.2 (gregale/770) tutorial: http://qurl.org/zN A walkthrough for 3.x: http://qurl.org/0O Scratchbox Downloads: http://qurl.org/1O | 08:57 |
| rene4jazz | sorry for my poor english, it is not my mother language | 08:57 |
| rene4jazz | some one here uses eclipse for maemo development to? | 08:58 |
| czr | rene4jazz, you are the first person I know that does :-). that's why I asked | 08:59 |
| czr | but maybe someone does too. /me shrugs | 08:59 |
| zoran | rene4jazz, what would you like to develop for maemo? | 09:00 |
| rene4jazz | I'm developing a SCADA application (Supervisory Control and Data Adquisition...bla bla) | 09:01 |
| rene4jazz | and I want to build a port of the hmi module (hmi -> Human Machine Interface) | 09:01 |
| rene4jazz | the current desktop version uses gtk 2.10 i we use libcairo extensively for the mimics | 09:02 |
| rene4jazz | but in the n770 we can not use libcairo because of the lack of FP capability of the ARM processor of nokia has. | 09:05 |
| zoran | something like avocent remote manager? | 09:06 |
| rene4jazz | I dont know what is "avocent" | 09:07 |
| zoran | handheld device, that manages remote nodes | 09:07 |
| zoran | looks like tv remote | 09:07 |
| zoran | neve saw it with my eyes, frankly | 09:08 |
| rene4jazz | a sort of | 09:08 |
| zoran | could be a valuable project | 09:08 |
| *** lopz has quit IRC | 09:08 | |
| zoran | spite I use ssh to do the same | 09:08 |
| rene4jazz | siemens have something like that | 09:09 |
| zoran | how much could it cost | 09:09 |
| rene4jazz | is for industrial appliances | 09:09 |
| rene4jazz | I dont know | 09:10 |
| zoran | some folks on this list use sshfs for data approach | 09:10 |
| rene4jazz | If any one is interested on developing with eclipse take a look at: http://www.cs.tut.fi/~laika/screenshots.shtml | 09:11 |
| rene4jazz | I'm taking now my first steps | 09:12 |
| zoran | the very first match on google :) | 09:13 |
| *** booiiing has joined #maemo | 09:14 | |
| czr | zoran, and the only one? :-) | 09:22 |
| zoran | :) | 09:22 |
| czr | damn, your nick reminds me of one analog TV-capture chip which did MJPEG compression | 09:23 |
| czr | zoran 1100 or smt like that | 09:23 |
| * czr has fond memories of that chip | 09:23 | |
| zoran | I don't show my metal extensions to the world | 09:23 |
| czr | safer that way, for sure :-) | 09:23 |
| zoran | :-) | 09:23 |
| zoran | readu to buy new 810 in fi? | 09:24 |
| czr | I need to test the keyboard first. make my decision after that. and I'm too busy to think about buying anything right now, maybe in couple of weeks | 09:25 |
| zoran | keyboard may be over, if it has to go in and out | 09:25 |
| zoran | do it 100 times | 09:25 |
| czr | otoh, I've bought all the previous models at least once, so I see why not :-) | 09:25 |
| zoran | hey, just 2 of them | 09:26 |
| czr | considering that I don't actually use them for anything, it's 2 too many :-) | 09:26 |
| zoran | btw, I don't see a lot my favorite apps on 800 | 09:26 |
| zoran | he-he | 09:26 |
| czr | yeah, seems a lot of sw is stagnating | 09:26 |
| zoran | nothing for command line users on n800 | 09:27 |
| zoran | so screen | 09:27 |
| czr | osso-xterm ftw | 09:27 |
| zoran | I know, xterm, but no mutt etc | 09:27 |
| zoran | lemme check now | 09:27 |
| czr | maybe the situation will improve once chinook comes out for the N800 | 09:28 |
| czr | maybe | 09:28 |
| zoran | probably not | 09:28 |
| czr | unless someone does something about it | 09:28 |
| zoran | if you have 12 years, you will like music and video and... | 09:28 |
| czr | have 12 years? | 09:28 |
| zoran | not me :) | 09:28 |
| zoran | no mutt for 800 | 09:28 |
| czr | have 12 years causes syntax error in my filological unit. please provide more data. | 09:29 |
| zoran | 10010010100101010100001010101 | 09:29 |
| czr | yarrr, no synchronization bits! | 09:30 |
| kala | I installed http://browser.garage.maemo.org/ on a ITOS 2007 HE running on 770 and now the "Web browser" gets "Internal error. Application Web closed". Can I run it from shell or with strace or how to find out whats wrong? | 09:30 |
| zoran | I am aware that it is not bug free; so I don't have it | 09:30 |
| zoran | personaly, I would like just x and simple window manager | 09:31 |
| zoran | liek fvwm or evilwm | 09:31 |
| czr | matchbox on the device is as simple as a wm can get btw | 09:31 |
| zoran | k, if I remove osso and hildon... | 09:32 |
| czr | heh | 09:32 |
| zoran | no netcat and no nmap for 800 | 09:32 |
| czr | zoran, why don't you build them? | 09:32 |
| czr | they're trivial to build | 09:32 |
| zoran | I have no spare box for linux in my room | 09:32 |
| czr | hmm. you want me to build them for you? | 09:32 |
| czr | I could use some break from my real work | 09:32 |
| zoran | no, I just have 770 and it works fine | 09:33 |
| czr | damn. I really could've used the break :-) | 09:33 |
| zoran | if somebody could help me, would think about firewall | 09:33 |
| czr | that'd require rebuilding the kernel afaik | 09:33 |
| zoran | I never feel happy and save without | 09:34 |
| zoran | *safe | 09:34 |
| zoran | hm, maybe adding module for nat and conntrack couldbe enough | 09:34 |
| czr | I don't think netfilter is included at all, let me check | 09:34 |
| zoran | it is! | 09:35 |
| czr | ah no. indeed. there are /proc/net/ip_tables_{matches,names,targets} | 09:36 |
| czr | my mistake | 09:36 |
| zoran | it has it's role to stop traffic from and to the box | 09:36 |
| zoran | but just in stateless mode | 09:37 |
| zoran | I tried it | 09:37 |
| zoran | and works | 09:37 |
| zoran | also takes imput file to work as rule set | 09:37 |
| czr | sure, I know netfilter, just didn't know it was enabled in the device kernel | 09:37 |
| czr | which one? | 09:37 |
| zoran | :) | 09:37 |
| _Monkey | somebody said which one was it? :) | 09:37 |
| zoran | ah, 3.2006.49-2 | 09:38 |
| czr | stfu _Monkey | 09:38 |
| zoran | lemme fire it up | 09:38 |
| czr | I'm running 2007 here though | 09:38 |
| zoran | 2.6 something | 09:38 |
| zoran | needs time | 09:38 |
| czr | no. I meant which file does it read | 09:38 |
| czr | on the device. for the packet rules. | 09:39 |
| zoran | I made my own to start from rc2.d | 09:39 |
| czr | ah. so it doesn't by default. | 09:39 |
| zoran | and lives in init.d | 09:39 |
| zoran | not now | 09:39 |
| czr | I thought you meant by default :-) | 09:39 |
| zoran | after fail, I removed it in furiosity | 09:39 |
| zoran | not as default, it was some nokia way to hide it | 09:40 |
| zoran | it works, maybe the name is different | 09:40 |
| zoran | however, it is up and ready to listen | 09:40 |
| zoran | and I had an issue with --state | 09:41 |
| rene4jazz | zora: do you know what is the "osso_initialize failed." message when I execute a binary? | 09:41 |
| zoran | then I got he light it was not built with nat and conntrack | 09:41 |
| zoran | rene4jazz, not sure, but sounds like graphics are not up cause come mistake in start up call | 09:42 |
| czr | rene4jazz, are you running it in the SDK or the device? | 09:42 |
| rene4jazz | SDK | 09:42 |
| czr | if in SDK, you need to run it with "run-standalone.sh ./name-of-app" | 09:42 |
| rene4jazz | I have the xephyr up and running on :2 display | 09:42 |
| czr | ossoinit binds to the D-Bus, and that won't work without proper env vars, which are setup by run-standalone.sh | 09:43 |
| rene4jazz | ok, I'll see | 09:43 |
| czr | also, do you have AF running? | 09:43 |
| czr | af-sb-init start? did you do that? | 09:44 |
| rene4jazz | nop | 09:44 |
| czr | ah. you need to start the AF in the SDK | 09:44 |
| *** mazzen has joined #maemo | 09:44 | |
| rene4jazz | segfault | 09:44 |
| _Monkey | i guess segfault is from trying to get listings | 09:44 |
| czr | that will start the d-bus daemons and the task navigator and all that (on xephyr, if your DISPLAY is set correctly) | 09:44 |
| rene4jazz | ups | 09:44 |
| rene4jazz | :-/ | 09:44 |
| czr | segfault in which step? | 09:44 |
| rene4jazz | af | 09:44 |
| rene4jazz | starting af | 09:45 |
| rene4jazz | wait | 09:45 |
| rene4jazz | i have to do some clean up first | 09:45 |
| zoran | czr, kernel is 2.6.16.rel-osso29 | 09:45 |
| czr | your SDK is not setup correctly most likely. which SDK version are you using? | 09:45 |
| czr | zoran, and that helps what and how? :-) | 09:45 |
| zoran | dunno :) | 09:45 |
| czr | ok :-) | 09:45 |
| czr | zoran, you might want to get the kernel source at some point. at least for n800. not sure about 770, how it works | 09:46 |
| zoran | what do you think about packet injection on maemo? | 09:46 |
| czr | depends on what you mean by packet injection, and maemo. | 09:46 |
| zoran | open port making outboud connection | 09:46 |
| zoran | should be trivial to find port and address | 09:47 |
| czr | err. I'm not following. what does opening outbound connections have to do with packet injection? | 09:47 |
| rene4jazz | it works!!!, :-D, i have my first example, compiled up and running | 09:47 |
| czr | rene4jazz, good for you :-) | 09:47 |
| zoran | \o/ | 09:47 |
| zoran | czr, if you know headers, you could pretend to be server that responds | 09:48 |
| czr | zoran, you'd need to do MAC-spoofing first | 09:49 |
| zoran | if protocols does not memorize the session, to me it looks dead duck | 09:49 |
| czr | unless you're trying to spoof client programs running on the device | 09:49 |
| czr | but what's the point? | 09:49 |
| _Monkey | the point is to make the user happy | 09:49 |
| zoran | mac spoofing is easy | 09:49 |
| czr | I mean, what would one achieve with this that isn't already possible with proper tools, and why on maemo? | 09:50 |
| zoran | only maemo has no firewall | 09:50 |
| czr | and that has what to do with this? | 09:50 |
| zoran | did you use device in public? | 09:50 |
| czr | firewalls don't protect against mac spoofing or other stuff happening outside your device | 09:51 |
| zoran | I'm scared to connect public ap | 09:51 |
| czr | then don't connect. | 09:51 |
| zoran | :) | 09:51 |
| mik_ | or use a vpn | 09:51 |
| czr | the device _does_ have 'offline mode' | 09:51 |
| zoran | k, mac spoofing stops then the next packet misses the line | 09:51 |
| zoran | ah, yes, I disable wifi out home net | 09:52 |
| zoran | folks, duty calls! bbl | 09:54 |

| czr | rene4jazz, no | 10:43 |
| czr | you can use sdl. you can't use opengl | 10:43 |
| czr | hey jaffa | 10:43 |
| rene4jazz | I saw a screenshot of blender ported to nokia | 10:49 |
| czr | consider the device doesn't have a FPU, never mind 3D acceleration, why on earth would you want to? | 10:50 |

| czr | aka very very slowly. | 10:52 |
| rene4jazz | I looking at plutohome package on garage.maemo.org | 10:53 |
| rene4jazz | it has xlibmesa-glu-nokia770_arm.deb package as dependece | 10:53 |
| czr | right. glu != opengl though. | 10:54 |
| czr | or rather, glu is just one part of it. | 10:54 |
| *** bmidgley has joined #maemo | 10:54 | |
| rene4jazz | and xlibmesa? | 10:54 |
| czr | xlibmesa above is where the implementation of glu comes from (the mesa project in this case, which is part of xorg nowadays AFAIK) | 10:55 |
| rene4jazz | roger that, thank's | 10:55 |
| czr | there can be other implementations of GLU on other systems, the mesa one is the most common on linux desktops | 10:55 |
| czr | glu just a bunch of utility functions which are useful to most opengl programs. it is not the complete opengl, and specifically, does not contain any of the gl_ functions (only glu_ ones) | 10:56 |
| czr | glu needs a proper libgl to run as well. | 10:56 |

| ptman | is the n810 display transflective? | 13:41 |
| ptman | I thought transflective displays were worse in low-light conditions | 13:42 |
| * _|Nix|_ doesn't even know what that is ... | 13:42 | |
| alterego | So it would appear, check out the planet | 13:42 |
| *** alex-weej has joined #maemo | 13:43 | |
| _|Nix|_ | OK, don't all briefly explain it to me at once ;o) | 13:43 |
| alterego | It means the display is viewable in sunlight :) That would explain the light sensor. | 13:44 |
| alterego | Should have guessed when I saw that :) | 13:44 |
| _|Nix|_ | :o) | 13:44 |
| _|Nix|_ | OK. Thanks! | 13:44 |
| _|Nix|_ | Ooooh! Cool! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transflective | 13:45 |
| _|Nix|_ | So, that means the display can essentially use the sun as a light source, obviating (to some extent) the need for a backlight ... | 13:46 |
| alterego | Exactly, it also means the GPS is useable during the day time. :) | 13:52 |
| *** alterego[alt] has joined #maemo | 13:52 | |

| alterego | Right, back to work .. | 13:54 |
| _|Nix|_ | alterego: Well, after thinking about it for 1.5s, I realize that, just because it has a light sensor doesn't mean that it has a transflective display. The light sensor might be there only to determine that "Oh no, he's using it in the sunlight! I better /really/ crank the backlight and murder the battery!" I sincerely hope that's not the case. | 13:55 |
| gla55 | _|Nix|_: thats how it works on nokias phones | 13:55 |
| alterego | :) | 13:55 |
| _|Nix|_ | The N810 is not a phone ;o) | 13:55 |
| gla55 | just for determining how bright the backlight should be | 13:55 |
| alterego | _|Nix|_, that was actually my guess. But like gla55 said, on Nokia's phones that is how they're designed. I should have drawn a more appropriate assumption because of that ;) | 13:56 |
| suihkulokki | _|Nix|_: and setting the keypad backlight on when it's dark | 13:56 |
| alterego | Also, dimming when it's ultra-dark. | 13:56 |
| alterego | But obviously that's not the case :) | 13:56 |
| _|Nix|_ | OK, so no elegant harnessing-the-power-of-the-sun technology? :o( | 13:56 |
| alterego | Heh | 13:57 |
| alterego | You mean a solar panel? ^_^ | 13:57 |
| alterego | That would be a bad idea. Direct sunlight and LCD's aren't a particularly goodmix over long periods of time. | 13:58 |
| GeneralAntilles | I want an oveclocking app for the N800. | 13:58 |

| *** ch4os_ has quit IRC | 14:24 | |
| kala | nah, probably the package will not install and kernel module will not load. | 14:25 |
| Jiten | kala: well, I'd think it needs someone who isn't afraid to mess with kernel stuff. | 14:35 |
| Jiten | the code should mostly be complete since the module exists and is usable on desktop computers. Many live-cd:s use it to combine ramdisk and the filesystem on cd. | 14:36 |
| Jiten | however, it's probably better to just follow the "boot from MMC" instructions on the wiki. | 14:37 |
| kala | I think I'll just point the /usr and /home directory to filesystem on MMC | 14:39 |

| czr | alterego, since it supports multiple callbacks at the same time | 14:54 |
| alterego | Interesting. | 14:55 |
| alterego | Wait, no it doesn't. | 14:55 |
| czr | it doesn't? | 14:55 |
| alterego | I checked the source, it complains if there's | 14:55 |
| alterego | already a callback sdet. | 14:55 |
| czr | heh | 14:55 |
| czr | must be mistake in the API design | 14:55 |
| czr | hmm. or it calls the callback once more | 14:55 |
| * czr shrugs | 14:55 | |
| alterego | Well, looking at the source, it doesn't use that parameter O_O | 14:56 |
| alterego | It doesn't even check it's value. | 14:56 |
| czr | then it's a mistake in the API. it's not the only one *coughs* | 14:56 |

| czr | well. "you can always read the source". That seems to be the standard answer for questions relating to libosso | 14:59 |
| alterego | Hah | 14:59 |
| czr | the sad part is that I'm not joking. | 14:59 |
| alterego | I'm just thankful I _can_ read the source :) | 14:59 |
| alterego | Yeah, OSSO is quite important, but it's __really__ badly documented, at least the C API is. | 15:01 |
| czr | alterego, under modules ->RPC, then find osso_rpc_get_timeout | 15:01 |
| czr | what does the function do? :-) | 15:01 |
| alterego | I've already bound that. | 15:01 |
| czr | yup | 15:01 |
| alterego | Returns the timeout? | 15:01 |
| czr | according to the API :-) | 15:01 |
| czr | the ref I mean | 15:02 |
| czr | "Sets the timeout value used by the RPC functions." | 15:02 |
| czr | now. see the small problem? :-) | 15:02 |
| czr | lucky us, the _set_timeout according to docs will return it. | 15:02 |
| czr | so all is well :-) | 15:02 |
| alterego | Strange. | 15:03 |
| _Monkey | Strange. is my / filesystem full? | 15:03 |
| czr | alterego, also, it never mentions what the default timeout is, and whether there is a timeout by default | 15:03 |
| alterego | So the API says it accepts a gint but the paramter documentation seems to think it accepts a pointer :) | 15:03 |
| czr | and such small matters are left to the developer | 15:03 |
| *** Sho_ has joined #maemo | 15:03 | |
| czr | alterego, get_timeout will store the timeout behind a pointer | 15:03 |

| disq | my sdk is really acting up so i can't tell whether it's all working all not. keyboard bindings are off, all i got is the green channel (X server issue) and as there's no xterm can't get debug output | 16:14 |

| disq | couldn't test scrobbler very much as the cp applet requires keyboard input :) btw maemo-install-utils are not included in the sdk and not in any repository either so i had to get rid of maemo-confirm-text in the installer | 16:18 |
| disq | filed a bug on bugzilla for that though. | 16:19 |
| konttori | I hope it's fixed quickly | 16:19 |
| disq | yeah. it also provides maemo-select-menu-location | 16:19 |
| konttori | the utils work on the device though. (ukmp shows confirmation dialog perfectly) | 16:19 |

| konttori | I've been thinking of either using a sqlite db for the cover images, or making cache image approach to store all the covers in one biggish image. to speed up the initial cover loading. | 16:26 |
| konttori | for some reason reading images from the file system takes large overhead for just opening the file. | 16:26 |
| disq | konttori: no, cover images and albumcache are in seperate files in ~/.kagu. not sure how it'd work with sqlite blobs | 16:26 |
| konttori | so, either the cropping image approach, or the sqlite would make sense | 16:26 |
| konttori | you can store and load image in pygame as strings | 16:27 |
| *** snowmoon has quit IRC | 16:27 | |
| konttori | so, it's easy to store them in db | 16:27 |
| disq | we use a big albumcache.tga and a big artistcache.tga for album/artist covers, with reflections and all | 16:27 |
| disq | serializing images as strings is not a good idea | 16:27 |
| disq | you could just store them as blobs in sqlite | 16:27 |

| konttori | true | 16:27 |
| disq | because it'd take time | 16:27 |
| konttori | does it? | 16:28 |

| disq | konttori: mmm. weird. choose a color, or change the chosen color via a color picker? | 16:38 |
| disq | i could switch to other colors in the beta sdk, didn't try to modify the preset ones tho | 16:39 |
| konttori | Pressure sensitive brush color seems to work | 16:39 |
| davis | anybody use usb networking? | 16:39 |
| konttori | If I choose any of the predefined colors, they work... ah damn! sorry. I mistook the behavior. | 16:39 |
| konttori | I had to choose an empty slot to have user color | 16:40 |
| konttori | now its working perfectly | 16:40 |
| disq | any idea why would launching the app from sbox prompt doesn't work? I have to launch it from the desktop menu and can't see assert/debug messages that way | 16:40 |
| disq | ah, ok | 16:40 |
| disq | davis: i think i did once, in a hotel room. but it has been a long long time | 16:40 |
| davis | disq: I was able to ping the nokia from my pc using usb networking. | 16:41 |
| davis | disq: but, i can not get routing to work in opera though. | 16:41 |
| disq | ah, you need to create a dummy access point | 16:41 |
| davis | i did that | 16:42 |
| *** hell has joined #maemo | 16:42 | |
| disq | set it to ad-hoc and set ip to 0.0.0.0 so that it won't interfere | 16:42 |
| davis | i even added an entery in /etc/resolv.conf for my pc's nameserver. | 16:42 |
| *** Quinlan^ has quit IRC | 16:42 | |
| disq | oh. opera works (doesn't try to connect) but routing doesn't work? | 16:42 |
| davis | let me try to set ad-hoc and 0.0.0.0 | 16:42 |
| konttori | disq: can you consider adding support for text entry element to the maemopad+ | 16:43 |
| disq | yeah. just setting the name to "dummy" worked in OS2006, doesn't in bora. | 16:43 |
| konttori | also, a clear button in the toolbar would be cool | 16:43 |
| davis | ping from my pc to the nokia works. opera will not bring up webpages, and nslookup on the nokia fails to find hosts. | 16:43 |
| disq | konttori: text entry element? on sketches, i presume? | 16:43 |
| disq | konttori: to be honest it's a lot of work and not even sure how to do that (provided the text should be always editable, not like cheap paint programs) | 16:44 |
| disq | davis: the dummy access point only helps to skip some apps' "oh i'm not connected" behavior. it won't fix the routing or other things. no idea, though | 16:45 |
| davis | disq: how do I change the ip for the default connection? | 16:45 |
| disq | the advanced button in the last step | 16:46 |
| zoran | does it write some ifconfig line in conf file? | 16:46 |
| disq | that UI desperately needs a redesign, though. it's so painful to configure connections manually | 16:46 |
| disq | ah, no idea how it works. i'm away for a few minutes, good luck | 16:47 |
| davis | hmm. i am using connection manager. I can search connections and connect to them only. | 16:47 |
| zoran | :) | 16:47 |
| konttori | disq: I think editable until unselected would be cool enough | 16:47 |
| zoran | I bet it makes conf file somewhere | 16:47 |
| disq | konttori: wouldn't be practical for real "sketching" | 16:48 |
| konttori | true. Just wondering. | 16:48 |
| konttori | mostly because there is the kb now, so it might have been usefull for commenting parts of the sketch. | 16:49 |
| konttori | but, of course, if needed, there is always the text note method then | 16:49 |
| disq | i agree we need a unified memo type | 16:49 |
| disq | but give me the widget and i'll write the code for it :P | 16:49 |
| disq | implementing the sketch widget with multiple tiled undo levels (it takes so little memory, even usable in the 770) was adventure enough :) | 16:50 |
| konttori | I can imagine that it cannot have been too much fun! | 16:52 |
| konttori | I have been wondering whether the approach of supporting to move 30 secs or 1 minute back would be good idea for scetching | 16:52 |
| konttori | so that instead of 20 levels of small changes undo, you would have go back 15,40,45,60,120 seconds. | 16:53 |
| konttori | so, that would be 5 levels of undo, but with full size image for all of them. | 16:54 |
| konttori | does that make any sense? | 16:54 |
| konttori | at the moment, I was sketching something and I ran out of undo levels, because I was doing small lines all the time (a lot of them) | 16:54 |

| zerojay | Anyone happen to know if any sort of work was done on the Media Player in IT 2008 to fix the tons of bugs against it? | 16:55 |
| konttori | from what I understood, it's a complete re-write (although I may be mistaken, so don't count on that) | 16:55 |
| zerojay | Oh, that's a surprise. | 16:56 |
| konttori | Hey, anyone interested in taking the time to compile mplayer for the device? | 16:56 |
| konttori | serge hasn't been around too much lately | 16:56 |
| zerojay | I would but I don't have scratchbox/sdk set up. | 16:56 |
| davis | hmm. i am trying to get this usb networking to work 100%. I have an ssh session from my pc to the nokia using usb. I have edited /etc/resolv.conf to add my company's dns server. I have done a route and the default route goes to my pc. My pc is winXP(shudder) and I have sharing enabled on the usb networking connection. What am I doing wrong? | 16:57 |
| konttori | disq: any chance of you considering adding offline support to maemoscrobbler? | 16:59 |
| konttori | so that it would cache listened music and when online, send the notifications to lastfm? | 17:00 |
| *** rev` has joined #maemo | 17:00 | |
| zerojay | Doesn't it already support that? If you're offline, it saves up your song data until you're connected again. | 17:00 |
| konttori | ahhh.. sorry then. I didn't know that | 17:00 |
| zerojay | At least it does for me when I used it last. | 17:00 |
| konttori | cool. even better than I had hoped then! | 17:00 |
| zerojay | (Wish Media Player would support scrobbling...) | 17:00 |
| konttori | it doesn't support that? | 17:00 |
| konttori | well, just use ukmp ... ;) | 17:00 |
| konttori | or kagu... ;) | 17:01 |
| davis | if on the nokia, I do nslookup www.google.com 9.0.6.1 It says *** unknown host. | 17:01 |
| zerojay | Yeah, that's the thing... I want to stay as far away from those as possible, no offense. ;) | 17:01 |

| zerojay | I don't like music players I won't be looking at much to have a huge shiny non-standard interface. | 17:02 |
| zerojay | But that's just me. ;) | 17:02 |
| disq | add scrobbler support to mpd. or, there might already be something for it | 17:02 |
| zoran | davis, what kind of connection do you have, again? | 17:02 |
| davis | zoran: i have a usb networkingn setup. | 17:02 |
| davis | i am trying to follow the howto's at maemo. | 17:02 |
| zoran | sure 770/800 could work usb net? | 17:03 |
| zerojay | I filed a bug a few months ago asking the built in Media Player to support Maemoscrobbler.. Doubt that will be fixed though. | 17:03 |
| zoran | not wireless? | 17:03 |
| davis | not wireless. | 17:03 |
| konttori | zerojay: I can completely understand that you like music player to be small and simple. | 17:03 |
| zoran | via ppp? | 17:03 |
| davis | i am at work. we require a leap account sestup in order to use wireless. | 17:03 |
| davis | setup | 17:04 |
| zoran | what protocol do you use, I'm curious? | 17:04 |
| zerojay | Media Player isn't the greatest, but I like the library and having all of my media in one program, videos, music, internet radio, etc... | 17:04 |
| *** matt_c has joined #maemo | 17:05 | |
| zerojay | I just wish that the N800 supported Samba by default. | 17:05 |
| GeneralAntilles | Yeah, there's a lot to be said for the centralization in media player. | 17:05 |
| GeneralAntilles | zerojay, I think OS2008 will. | 17:06 |
| GeneralAntilles | It keeps coming up on the ITT forums. | 17:06 |
| davis | zoran: its the usb networking setup as described on the wiki. | 17:06 |
| *** NickDe has joined #maemo | 17:06 | |
| GeneralAntilles | Mara said something about Samba support. | 17:06 |
| zoran | davis, could you point me to that page? | 17:06 |
| davis | you basically add a script to /etc/init.d/ ... yes. | 17:06 |
| zerojay | If Media Player could also scrape Shoutcast for streams, that would be awesome too... another bug I filed ages ago. | 17:06 |
| davis | hold on. | 17:06 |
| konttori | well, you have videos in ukmp... ;) Anyway, I actually like music player to be music player and then a good video player for videos. | 17:07 |
| davis | http://maemo.org/community/wiki/usbnetworking/ | 17:07 |
| zoran | k, looking at | 17:07 |
| GeneralAntilles | Yeah, I'd agree for a desktop. | 17:07 |
| GeneralAntilles | But it makes it easier to get to what your after if it's all together on a mobile platform. | 17:07 |
| zerojay | Video Center does a good job of not getting in Media Player's way. Download what you want through Video Center, they show up in Media Player.. | 17:08 |
| zoran | davis, huh! | 17:09 |
| zerojay | When I first got my N800, I downloaded pretty much every 3rd party app out there. | 17:09 |
| zerojay | These days, I'd rather just have more stuff integrated. | 17:09 |
| davis | zoran: huh? | 17:09 |
| zoran | to me it seems better to first do --enable-usb-host mode | 17:10 |
| GeneralAntilles | It'll be easier when we don't have to wipe everything and start over with each OS update, zerojay. | 17:10 |
| zoran | but I did not see that 770 could use xp box as a router | 17:10 |
| zerojay | Yeah, that's true, though that doesn't really bother me much... except for the fact that our cookies/saved passwords are wiped as well. | 17:10 |
| zoran | just oposite, if even possible | 17:11 |
| alterego | GeneralAntilles, well, yes and no. An update could break software, like it usually does. | 17:11 |
| zerojay | And not backed up. | 17:11 |
| alterego | Sure, userdata should be persistant but OS and programs should be installed together. | 17:11 |
| GeneralAntilles | True, but then we just download the update from app manager when the dev updates things, right? | 17:11 |
| alterego | Provided they're there sure. | 17:11 |
| zoran | davies, you need outboud connection from your 800? | 17:12 |
| zoran | *outbound | 17:12 |
| alterego | If all deps are correct, apt should uninstall things that it can't upgrade to work with a dist upgrade. | 17:12 |
| GeneralAntilles | Seems likely that there'll be fewer breaks going forward now that Gtk is up to date, no? | 17:12 |
| alterego | Well, Gtk is only half of the story :) | 17:12 |
| alterego | If half ^_^ | 17:12 |
| GeneralAntilles | Hehe, true. | 17:12 |
| alterego | I have a couple of lose ends and then I've got the last part of this module to do. | 17:13 |
| alterego | I saved the hardest, most complicated, bit til last .. | 17:13 |
| GeneralAntilles | But, still, breaks should probably come less often going forward as maemo stabilizes. | 17:13 |
| alterego | Yes, definitely. | 17:13 |
| GeneralAntilles | Either way, I wub my N800. :D | 17:14 |
| alterego | Heh | 17:14 |
| alterego | Yes, it's a neat device :) | 17:15 |

| zoran | davis, if nokia device is a router, it must have inner and outer interface | 17:21 |
| davis | zoran: my nokia is not a router. that is not my wish. | 17:22 |
| konttori | I've been quite happy that since I got the n810 I have been using it quite a lot (and not only for listening to music / coding for it). It's much more useful device than n800 was / is | 17:22 |
| konttori | Have you all guys subscribed to the developer program? | 17:22 |
| zoran | davis, what did you try to connect? | 17:22 |
| davis | i want my pc to be the router. ie. my pc is connected to LAN via ethernet and to my pc via usb. | 17:22 |
| davis | from my pc, I tried to ssh/ping my nokia. Which I can do. I have a shell open on the nokia via pc now. | 17:23 |
| GeneralAntilles | Howso, konttori? | 17:23 |
| GeneralAntilles | Mostly due to OS2008 or keyboard? | 17:23 |
| davis | however, on nokia if I do a nslookup foo, it fails. it does not know how to handle route or dns info. i am not sure what is the problem. | 17:23 |
| zoran | should be oposite | 17:23 |
| Robot101 | konttori: have you tried the SIP stuff? :) | 17:23 |
| davis | route -a on the nokia shows the default gw is the pc, so it seems that routing is ok. | 17:24 |
| zoran | davis, 770 should be the one that starts the ssh connection | 17:24 |
| davis | i wish I had ping on nokia so i could try to ping something. | 17:24 |
| alterego | konttori, I applied yesterday afternoon. | 17:24 |
| davis | on the 770, i start sshd. I ssh to the nokia using my pc as the client. | 17:24 |
| zoran | in repository? | 17:24 |
| alterego | Not getting my hopes up or anything though :) | 17:24 |
| davis | i dont have a sshd running on my pc so I can not ssh to it. | 17:24 |
| zoran | davis, I think yu hafe to run sshd on the pc | 17:25 |
| zoran | or just netcat? | 17:25 |
| zoran | it could be better | 17:25 |
| zerojay | E: Currently Scratcbox can only run in 32 bit i386 architecture. <-- boooooooooooooooo | 17:25 |
| zoran | you could make 2 way talk | 17:25 |
| zoran | there is netcat for win and linux | 17:26 |
| zoran | -L is flag to listen on the port | 17:26 |
| zerojay | konttori: It looks a little less useful as I won't be able to take pictures with it. | 17:26 |
| zoran | davis, bbl | 17:27 |
| konttori | GeneralAntille: Yeah, mostly due to the keyboard. I's so much easier to use all the web related stuff, take notes and so on with the kb | 17:27 |
| davis | i hate to say this but my employeer considers ncat to be a trojan. even if I try to unpack a zip file with ncat in it, the corporate antivirus sw will delelte it. | 17:27 |
| davis | so, i can not do that. | 17:27 |
| zerojay | davis: Most do. | 17:27 |
| konttori | zerojay: just point the device to where you want to take a pic from (or use your camphone) | 17:27 |
| zerojay | konttori: I don't and won't ever get a phone. | 17:28 |
| *** AD-N770 has joined #maemo | 17:28 | |
| konttori | I didn't try SIP, but I've heard that it works surprisingly well | 17:28 |
| zerojay | It's the final version of RTCOMM as far as I know. | 17:28 |
| konttori | a few co-workers have been using it to call abroad to friends/relatives. | 17:28 |
| gla55 | using voip kind of defeats whole "i won't ever get a phone" | 17:28 |
| zerojay | gla55: As I use phones all day every day for work, I can tell you that it doesn't. | 17:29 |
| gla55 | just different protocol | 17:29 |
| zerojay | Doesn't matter. | 17:29 |
| gla55 | who cares if it's voip or gsm packets | 17:29 |
| zerojay | I guess you don't care if you get monthly bills either, huh? | 17:30 |
| konttori | wimax might make the SIP even more useful in the future. | 17:30 |
| gla55 | if i used voip, i'd still get an umts modem(some phone probably) and 10e/month | 17:30 |
| zerojay | Yes, it will. | 17:30 |
| konttori | Don't know how the phone companies will handle that | 17:30 |
| zerojay | I'm glad Canada's almost completely covered by Wimax. | 17:31 |
| gla55 | phone companies will provide the wimax, duh, and the data connections to the base stations | 17:31 |
| konttori | but will they be able to charge as ridiculous amounts as they do in the states for phone connections at the moment | 17:31 |
| gla55 | if it's just "i want to phone for free", it's not exactly the same as "i don't want a phone" | 17:31 |
| zerojay | gla55: I don't want a cell phone. Plain and simple. N800 is not a cell phone. Get over it. | 17:32 |
| alterego | Yeah, cell phones will be completely dead when WiMAX takes over. | 17:34 |
| konttori | get a n95 (quoting nokia: look at what computers have become) ;) Just teasing. In the end n800 and n95 are pretty much the same thing inside. | 17:35 |
| gla55 | they'll still be cellphones.. just with wimax | 17:35 |
| alterego | I'm just saying that the "cell" architecture, GSM etc will eventually die out. | 17:36 |
| alterego | Which is cool. | 17:37 |
| davis | cool. | 17:37 |
| alterego | It opens up possibilities for providers though, they could maybe do deals with customers, free access in a local zone and charge when using a more global scope. | 17:37 |
| davis | i can listen to radioparadise.com mp3 streams with my nokia connected to my pc via usb. | 17:38 |
| gla55 | well sure, i mostly use my phone for data anyhow.. but currently, i don't see much advantage from wimax as i don't see anyone building a statewide wimax network here and offering it at 10e per month | 17:38 |

| zwnj | seems the N800 Java CDC zip file (i found the link on wiki.java.net) is not unzip-able with n800's unzip | 19:32 |
| zwnj | and trying zip -FF, i get a lot of corruption errors | 19:33 |
| zwnj | any suggestion? | 19:33 |
| GeneralAntilles | Corrupted download? | 19:34 |

| dpryo | Does the nokia n800 have a input for microphone? Or is the layout same as on 770? | 20:05 |
| * czr peeks | 20:05 | |
| celesteh | the jack on the side is for headphones + mic | 20:06 |
| sciboy | That reminds me, does Maemo have a voice memo/recording app? | 20:07 |
| celesteh | yes | 20:07 |
| railk | isn't there a mic on top of the n800 too? or what is that? | 20:07 |
| dpryo | Maemo Recorder | 20:07 |
| celesteh | it's ok for voice | 20:07 |
| celesteh | but it has a really annoying noisegate on it | 20:07 |
| celesteh | that makes it terrible for field recordings | 20:07 |
| celesteh | it's extremely irritating. It might be possible to disable it. I haven't looked | 20:08 |
| *** railk has left #maemo | 20:08 | |
| czr | maybe because intended voip-usage? | 20:08 |
| celesteh | i don't know if it's in hardware or software | 20:09 |
| * czr shrugs | 20:10 | |
| celesteh | the setting is also annoying for voice, since the noise gets clipped when you trigger the gate, but then slowly creeps back up when you don't | 20:10 |
| celesteh | so silences get noisy | 20:10 |
| celesteh | which is too bad, since the n800 would be an extremely handy field recorder | 20:10 |
| celesteh | even if lo-fi | 20:10 |
| czr | yup. didn't even think of that | 20:10 |
| jani | there was some conversation on maemo devel about the schematics of the mic jack some weeks ago. | 20:11 |
| celesteh | the gate is almost certainly in software | 20:13 |

| MSameer | am trying to discover the protocol used by metalayer-crawler to discover music on the network ? Any tips ? | 20:45 |
| GeneralAntilles | Doing it as root? | 20:45 |
| MSameer | thought avahi might be involved | 20:46 |
| MSameer | but seems not | 20:46 |
| GeneralAntilles | It's UPnP | 20:46 |
| MSameer | mmmmm | 20:46 |
| MSameer | cool | 20:46 |
| GeneralAntilles | Twonky, EyeConnect, etc. | 20:46 |
| MSameer | thanks | 20:46 |
| GeneralAntilles | Try ORB or TVersity for Windows | 20:47 |

| * GeneralAntilles doesn't know anything about the Linux UPnP servers. | 20:48 | |
| MSameer | me too, just did an apt-get search | 20:48 |
| GeneralAntilles | There's an MPD client (Glurp) for music, too. | 20:48 |

| *** VimS has quit IRC | 20:50 | |
| DRoBeR | Nice, now the same with bsdutils... I'm trying to do an apt-get dist-upgrade ;) | 20:50 |
| DRoBeR | Damned busybox... | 20:51 |
| patu | I have a question about N770 | 20:51 |
| GeneralAntilles | Uh, don't do that, DRoBeR. | 20:52 |
| GeneralAntilles | You'll break shit. | 20:52 |
| GeneralAntilles | Shoot, patu. ;) | 20:52 |
| patu | I'm dumb I think, or something's not ok | 20:53 |
| GeneralAntilles | So . . . what's the problem? | 20:53 |
| patu | I bought it today and set the lock code temporarily to the last numbers of my phone number | 20:53 |
| patu | now it wouldn't unlock | 20:53 |
| patu | can I flash it? | 20:53 |
| GeneralAntilles | Nope | 20:53 |
| patu | then what? | 20:53 |
| GeneralAntilles | Try 12345? | 20:53 |
| patu | yes | 20:54 |
| GeneralAntilles | Or 01234 | 20:54 |
| GeneralAntilles | Try the last numbers of your phone number? | 20:54 |
| patu | I did | 20:54 |
| GeneralAntilles | What did you set it to? | 20:54 |
| zwnj | i just install CDC on n800, but i don't get it. PhoneMEAdvanced doesn't include javax.mircoedition? | 20:54 |
| patu | precisely? | 20:54 |
| patu | 229986 | 20:54 |
| GeneralAntilles | and that doesn't work? | 20:54 |
| patu | no | 20:54 |
| GeneralAntilles | Maybe you had a typo? | 20:55 |
| patu | two times? | 20:55 |
| patu | maybe | 20:55 |
| GeneralAntilles | Hehe, it's happened to me. :D | 20:55 |
| patu | but since it's new I thought I could like hard-reset it? | 20:55 |
| GeneralAntilles | Otherwise, you gotta take it to Nokia. | 20:55 |
| GeneralAntilles | The lock-code is hardware level | 20:55 |
| GeneralAntilles | Reflashing wont get around it. | 20:55 |
| *** slomo has quit IRC | 20:55 | |
| GeneralAntilles | You might try calling Nokia | 20:56 |
| GeneralAntilles | see what they can tell you. | 20:56 |
| GeneralAntilles | You in the US? | 20:56 |
| patu | nope | 20:56 |
| GeneralAntilles | Got any Nokia stores near you? | 20:56 |
| patu | if I can't unlock it I'll be forced to sell it | 20:56 |
| patu | and buy another one | 20:56 |
| patu | I do, but they don't sell those | 20:57 |
| GeneralAntilles | Try them | 20:57 |
| GeneralAntilles | In the US, there aren't any Nokia stores | 20:57 |
| GeneralAntilles | they're all cellular carrier stores | 20:57 |
| patu | we have nokia stores here | 20:57 |
| GeneralAntilles | so, unless you have a flagship store nearby, you have to ship it to Nokia | 20:57 |
| GeneralAntilles | But try those Nokia stores | 20:57 |
| patu | but they don't sell pda's | 20:57 |
| GeneralAntilles | if they can't do it in-store, they can tell you who to send it to. | 20:58 |
| zwnj | patu: IIRC lock-code should be exactly 5 digits | 20:58 |
| zwnj | patu: try 22998 or 29986 | 20:58 |
| patu | then why did it let me set it to 6? | 20:58 |
| *** j_ck has quit IRC | 20:59 | |

| MSameer | yup, gmediaserver worked fine. cool... | 21:01 |
| patu | zwnj you're sure it can't be six? i'd take that into accouny trying to come up with something then | 21:01 |
| zwnj | patu: let me see | 21:02 |
| GeneralAntilles | MSameer: Jaffa is working on an on-the-fly on-demand transcoding solution for video, too. | 21:02 |
| GeneralAntilles | Should be pretty slick. | 21:02 |
| MSameer | that's impressive | 21:03 |
| DRoBeR | A good IRC client for N800? I have installed pidgin-irc but I want to connect it over a proxy and I need to send especial commands and it has not "/raw" cmd. | 21:03 |
| MSameer | was about to try watching a divx movie ;-) | 21:03 |
| GeneralAntilles | xchat | 21:03 |
| MSameer | DRoBeR: heard there's xchat | 21:03 |
| zwnj | patu: no, it's at least 5 digits | 21:03 |
| GeneralAntilles | xchat? | 21:04 |
| _Monkey | well, xchat is a gtk-based IRC client. http://maemo.org/downloads/product/maemo-xchat/ | 21:04 |
| zwnj | patu: try 7 digit seqs, i.e. 2299866, etc | 21:04 |
| DRoBeR | which mirror? | 21:04 |
| DRoBeR | Thanks, _Monkey :) | 21:04 |

| alterego | Wow, the N810 webpage actually works really well on the N800 | 21:08 |
| GeneralAntilles | One would hope | 21:09 |
| GeneralAntilles | same hardware | 21:09 |
| alterego | I kind of meant the flash stuff. | 21:09 |
| *** k-s[AWAY_WORK] is now known as k-s[WORK] | 21:09 | |
| alterego | You know how nokia have those 3D images that you can move around to look at the devices. | 21:09 |
| alterego | It works pretty smoothly on the N800 | 21:10 |
| GeneralAntilles | Oh, right. | 21:10 |
| GeneralAntilles | Hehe | 21:10 |
| GeneralAntilles | Should be even more awesome with OS2008 | 21:10 |
| alterego | Indeed :) | 21:10 |
| GeneralAntilles | Now, if only for PowerVR. | 21:10 |
| alterego | I just hope I've got ruby-maemo 1.0 out the window by then,. | 21:10 |
| GeneralAntilles | I don't get why Nokia doesn't just pony up and get the drivers written. | 21:10 |
| alterego | The drivers are already written. | 21:10 |
| GeneralAntilles | Then why don't we have them. :\ | 21:11 |
| alterego | Costs money. | 21:11 |
| alterego | That would be my guess. | 21:11 |
| GeneralAntilles | Then PAY! | 21:11 |
| GeneralAntilles | It's such a huge value increase. | 21:11 |
| * cesman ponders why no Ogg support.... | 21:11 | |
| alterego | Well, I have a feeling we'll be seeing the PowerVR support pretty soon ;) | 21:11 |
| GeneralAntilles | cesman, I'm guessing the first update to OS2008 will have it. | 21:11 |
| GeneralAntilles | Hehe, is that a texrat-style feeling or a random-guess feeling? :P | 21:12 |
| cesman | I hope so... | 21:12 |
| alterego | Well, it's kind of a psuedo-guess :) | 21:12 |
| GeneralAntilles | Hehe | 21:12 |
| GeneralAntilles | Well, here's to hoping! | 21:12 |
| cesman | there is no valid excuse for no Ogg | 21:12 |
| GeneralAntilles | It's a managerial thing, would be my guess. | 21:13 |
| alterego | I got the impression from someone on the mailing list that it was planned but they weren't exactly if/when it would happen. | 21:13 |
| GeneralAntilles | People are bitching pretty hard about it, and I think it came up with Reggie/thoughtfix/Jonathan at the N810 launch | 21:13 |
| alterego | sure when/if it would happen .. | 21:13 |
| alterego | People bitch all the time. | 21:13 |
| GeneralAntilles | Really, the better question, is why the built-in Media Player doesn't have a better plugin interface. | 21:14 |
| cesman | :) | 21:14 |
| GeneralAntilles | Just put together a decent interface and let 3rd parties work for you. | 21:14 |
| pupnik | A lot of opengl stuff will require > 128MB ram and faster cpu, to run a straight port. | 21:15 |
| cesman | GeneralAntilles: either way | 21:15 |
| alterego | That depends on what you mean by a lot of OpenGL stuff. | 21:15 |
| pupnik | OpenGL is a bit of a pandora's box for the tablets | 21:15 |
| GeneralAntilles | Seems like it would be able to help out a lot of with Quake/Quake II | 21:15 |
| GeneralAntilles | Also, how hard would it be to accelerate the GUI? | 21:16 |
| alterego | Cairo can take advantage of OpenGL already | 21:16 |
| pupnik | Accelerate what? | 21:16 |
| pupnik | 1) alpha blending and 2) animations | 21:16 |
| alterego | Anyone want to start porting beryl? | 21:17 |
| *** ajturner has quit IRC | 21:17 | |
| alterego | :) | 21:17 |
| alterego | Personally, I'd much prefer a 3D GPS app :) | 21:17 |
| pupnik | there you go, great use | 21:17 |
| alterego | Well, that's on my to do list. | 21:18 |
| alterego | I'm almost a week behind my planned release of ruby-maemo >:( | 21:18 |
| pupnik | the mapper demoed on the 810 is 3d, but not with street signs | 21:18 |
| alterego | Well, it's kind of 3D. I meant full topographical detail. | 21:18 |
| alterego | The software with the N810 kind of just looks like looking at a map infront of you. It's flat, but it's flat in 3D ^_^ | 21:19 |
| GeneralAntilles | Google Earth. ;) | 21:19 |
| pupnik | anyway i think market pressure will be enough to force them to do OpenGL in 2008 on the OMAP3430 | 21:19 |
| alterego | GeneralAntilles, yeah, I mentioned that last night ;) | 21:19 |
| bmidgley | we need a driver for the 3d accel | 21:19 |
| GeneralAntilles | That you did. :D | 21:19 |
| *** booiiing has joined #maemo | 21:20 | |
| alterego | There are already drivers for the PowerVR chip. | 21:20 |
| bmidgley | iphone glitz may be what forces it ironically | 21:20 |
| GeneralAntilles | I don't understand how the market pressure hasn't forced them to do it for the N800 already. >_> | 21:20 |
| bmidgley | the useless stuff i mean | 21:20 |
| alterego | The N95 takes advantage of it, though it's not Linux :) | 21:20 |
| bmidgley | they probably have headaches to make it OSS | 21:21 |
| alterego | I don't see why, the wifi driver isn't OSS either is the BT driver. | 21:21 |
| alterego | Nokia don't have any problems keeping things they want closed closed. That's why I don't understand why we don't have drivers :) | 21:22 |
| GeneralAntilles | We'd have drivers if there hadn't been a break with 2.4 -> 2.6 kernel | 21:22 |
| GeneralAntilles | They only have drivers for 2.4 | 21:22 |
| derf | That was forever ago. | 21:22 |
| alterego | Yeah, there are drivers for 2.6 now. | 21:22 |
| GeneralAntilles | Are there really? | 21:23 |
| alterego | You can download them in binary format. | 21:23 |
| DRoBeR | What about VPN client ipsec/strongswan/freewsan/openvpn? :) Is vpnc compatible with this? | 21:23 |
| DRoBeR | ^_^ | 21:23 |
| alterego | Unfortunately they're not the right ABI | 21:23 |
| GeneralAntilles | Why wont they work on the N800 now, then? | 21:23 |
| * GeneralAntilles doesn't know anything about drivers. | 21:23 | |
| alterego | They're not armel | 21:23 |
| alterego | I believe they're the wrong endian too. | 21:23 |
| zwnj | anyone tried to add MIDP to n800's CDC? | 21:24 |
| patu | god, I have it -_- | 21:24 |
| patu | I was seriously afraid there for a while | 21:24 |
| GeneralAntilles | Now, who's going to get 500MHz for us? http://www.internettablettalk.com/forums/showthread.php?p=84783#post84783 | 21:24 |

| GeneralAntilles | Hehe | 21:25 |
| patu | 229985 -_- | 21:25 |
| GeneralAntilles | Now, patu, change it to something you'll be sure to remember | 21:25 |
| patu | what I thought - 1 | 21:25 |

| alterego | truls, qemu is somewhat unreliable. If it works fine in X86 then you might aswell just try it on device. | 21:47 |
| truls | alterego: ah, ok, i heard it was somewhat unreliable, but didn't think it was unusable :) | 21:47 |
| truls | i guess it's not for most though | 21:48 |
| truls | just find it strange as i have a pretty fresh install (not much crud in the scratchbox yet), and it still fails on pretty basic stuff | 21:48 |
| alterego | Well, I used to use it and it worked fine. But I keep getting segfaults from it under chinook :/ | 21:48 |
| alterego | Yeah, I've had the same. | 21:49 |
| alterego | It used to work fine for me. But it's been terrible recently. | 21:49 |
| alterego | Even after I completely blitzed->reinstalled everything. | 21:49 |
| truls | just for chinook targets? | 21:49 |

| truls | qemu-arm -> qemu-arm-0.7.0-sb2 | 21:53 |

| czr | it doesn't always trip though. simple things might work | 21:57 |
| czr | gcc/binutils work since they're not run using qemu anyway | 21:57 |
| *** b0unc3 has quit IRC | 22:03 | |
| timelyx | flash tends to be a no go w/ qemu | 22:04 |
| alterego | czr, yeah, That's probably it :) | 22:06 |
| kaltsi | qemu is only supposed to be used to compile/build stuff, running applications under qemu may or may not work and it's not officially supported in the maemo environment | 22:08 |
| alterego | But we don't need qemu to compile or build stuff. | 22:09 |
| czr | some people do. | 22:09 |
| czr | people who use python to build stuff for example. | 22:09 |
| alterego | Yeah, I guess some tools need to be compiled first. | 22:09 |
| czr | python doesn't work in qemu/armel with chinook | 22:09 |
| kaltsi | configure scripts do execute a simple a.out thingy to find out thingies (very techincal) :) | 22:09 |
| alterego | Oh yeah, the tests. | 22:10 |
| kaltsi | some stuff does get run under qemu when building packages | 22:10 |
| alterego | Yes, I know. I was just being a bit short sighted there ;) | 22:10 |
| kaltsi | you can take a look at /tmp/cputransp_something to see what was run under qemu | 22:10 |

| truls | hm, i've been trying to avoid asking this, as it's such a newbie-question, but i could find no info in the docs/web: when entering text in widgets in the xserver used by scratchbox, why doesn't enter go to the next line? | 22:16 |
| GeneralAntilles | It's reserved for fullscreen keyboard transition, I think. | 22:18 |
| *** dolske has joined #maemo | 22:19 | |
| pupnik | truls, try the keypad enter key | 22:21 |
| truls | pupnik: thanks, that worked beautifully | 22:22 |
| truls | ctrl-j worked some times, but didn't now | 22:22 |
| truls | pupnik: is "why?" a silly question to ask? (about why numpad enter works, and not "regular" enter) | 22:23 |
| GeneralAntilles | Uh, because it's reserved for calling up the fullscreen keyboard. >_> | 22:31 |
| truls | hm, so why doesnt the fullscreen keyboard appear when i press regular enter? | 22:33 |
| GeneralAntilles | Probably because it's scratchbox. | 22:33 |
| * pupnik cooks up a nice batch of fish fillets | 22:33 | |

| *** lmoura has joined #maemo | 22:35 | |
| pupnik | *game data | 22:36 |
| pupnik | still use .debs for them, but have the application installer wget and unpack them onto mmc | 22:36 |
| *** Esworp has joined #maemo | 22:37 | |
| pupnik | that way if someone has tons of space and they want to install the data .deb the normal way - they still can | 22:37 |
| GeneralAntilles | Nice, pupnik. | 22:37 |
| pupnik | putzing with it right now | 22:38 |
| timelyx | truls: ime there are two enters, and the one near shift does trigger the vkb | 22:38 |

| czr | timelyx, it's the devs vs scratchbox. chinook making stuff much more interesting though :-) | 22:40 |
| * czr bets that sbox will win in the end | 22:41 | |
| timelyx | czr: i want sb2 to win | 22:41 |
| GeneralAntilles | Haha | 22:41 |
| timelyx | let sb0.*/sb1 die | 22:41 |
| czr | let? that's.. visual basic! | 22:41 |
| czr | that's evil. although on par with sbox. | 22:41 |
| czr | someone should rewrite sbox in VB though. that would really show the devs who's the master. | 22:42 |
| derf | LET has a history that far precedes VB. | 22:42 |
| czr | hmm. basics yes. was it used in other languages as well? | 22:43 |
| timelyx | actually, vb doesn't really need let | 22:43 |
| timelyx | let's been optional since what, qbasic? | 22:43 |

| Thanatermesis | what "word" applications exists ? my GF needs to opend and edit .doc files for the university | 22:51 |
| *** alterego has joined #maemo | 22:52 | |
| truls | Thanatermesis: google document editor? | 22:52 |
| truls | or rather google docs as it's called | 22:52 |
| Thanatermesis | hu ? i can open .rtf, .doc etc.. with google editor ? | 22:52 |
| truls | yes | 22:52 |
| Thanatermesis | google is crazy lol | 22:52 |
| truls | docs.google.com | 22:52 |
| Thanatermesis | well but, not exists any app builded in any repo for that ? aparently abiword is not on the repos | 22:53 |
| alterego | Yeah, abiwork really needs to be ported to the new OS | 22:53 |
| alterego | ~abiword | 22:53 |
| infobot | Fully featured word processor. URL: http://www.abisource.com/ | 22:53 |
| alterego | And gnumeric | 22:53 |
| _Monkey | gnumeric is the gnu spreadsheet http://www.maemo.org.br/platform/apt/pool/user/g/gnumeric/ | 22:53 |
| renatofilho | alterego, I finish the port of abiwor now to new OS :D | 22:54 |
| alterego | :) | 22:54 |
| renatofilho | I will commit this today | 22:54 |
| alterego | Cool., | 22:54 |
| celesteh | awesome! | 22:54 |
| alterego | What about 2007? | 22:55 |
| Thanatermesis | gnumeric is | 22:55 |
| alterego | gnumeric is out of date. | 22:55 |
| Thanatermesis | renatofilho, do you have ported abiword to bora ? | 22:55 |
| renatofilho | I think entrunko already have the abiword packages to bora | 22:56 |
| Thanatermesis | how i can have a "build system" ready to be used ? (any qemu image?), i want to make ports and packages and stuffs but i don't want to lost time making that system, i have a lot of things to do | 22:56 |
| Jaffa | Thanatermesis: there are qemu and VMware images with scratchbox and the dev environment. Then <plug> http://mud-builder.garage.maemo.org </plug> makes ports & packaging easier (IMNSHO) | 22:57 |

| Thanatermesis | renatofilho, where is the entrunko repo ? i don't found it on http://maemo.org/community/wiki/applicationrepositories/ we can have other repo's available apart of the ones of that list ? | 23:01 |
| Thanatermesis | thanks Jaffa, btw, about vmware... from my knowledgements vmware can't emulate ARM processors, qemu yes, how can be used on vmware then ? | 23:02 |
| alterego | Thanatermesis, the SDK runs in vmware player. | 23:02 |
| alterego | The SDK has qemu | 23:02 |
| Jaffa | what he said ;) | 23:02 |
| Thanatermesis | what ? run a virtual machine that runs a qemu ? | 23:03 |
