| timely_changelog | oh, if you need the vm bit, it looks like | 00:22 |
| timely_changelog | czr: nah, "i don't make mistakes" ;-) | 00:22 |
| timely_changelog | (i do, of course) | 00:23 |
| timely_changelog | ... you should try the torrent | 00:23 |

| czr | or just "testing"? | 00:23 |

| pickl1 | torrent is going at 2kB/s with 3 peers and 0 seeds :( | 00:24 |
| timely_changelog | heh | 00:24 |
| czr | exactly the reason why I build my own vmware images :-) | 00:24 |
| czr | there's been talk about the images on -devel for some days now | 00:24 |

| czr | plus my images rule. that's the other reason. | 00:24 |

| doublec | hi timely_changelog | 00:26 |
| czr | and do something about it | 00:26 |
| pickl1 | think i'll just throw scratchbox on my other machine and have a play | 00:26 |

| thejapanesegeek | you mean the mac addresses? | 00:58 |
| timely_changelog | yes | 00:58 |
| thejapanesegeek | How about folder structures? | 00:58 |
| timely_changelog | good bye :) | 00:59 |
| alterego | thejapanesegeek, if they're in the flash it get's completely rewritten. | 00:59 |
| timely_changelog | the entire file system is replaed | 00:59 |
| timely_changelog | unless it's on a memory card | 00:59 |
| thejapanesegeek | Hmm... | 00:59 |
| thejapanesegeek | I'm having some trouble getting my Extras folder back. | 00:59 |

| thejapanesegeek | I filed the bug: | 01:01 |
| thejapanesegeek | https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2144 | 01:01 |
| thejapanesegeek | I was hoping that a firmware flash would fix the issue. | 01:01 |
| thejapanesegeek | It didn't. | 01:01 |
| thejapanesegeek | I can't install any apps now. | 01:01 |
| alterego | O_o | 01:01 |
| timely_changelog | nice | 01:01 |
| alterego | I've deleted that folder loads of times and never had any issues .. | 01:02 |
| thejapanesegeek | I don't understand it. | 01:02 |
| timely_changelog | strace time.. | 01:02 |
| thejapanesegeek | The firmware flash should refresh everything, right? | 01:03 |
| alterego | Yes | 01:03 |
| timely_changelog | do you restore your backup? | 01:03 |
| thejapanesegeek | no. | 01:03 |
| alterego | backup? :P | 01:03 |
| timely_changelog | ... | 01:03 |
| timely_changelog | alterego: backup: a write once - read never medium designed to wrongfully raise hopes | 01:04 |
| alterego | :) | 01:04 |
| db48x | heh | 01:04 |
| thejapanesegeek | could this have something to do with the fact that I have been installing debs manually as oppesed to via the internet? | 01:06 |

| timely_changelog | where's application manager in this picture? | 01:07 |

| zerojay | Well, actually I just want bluetooth headphones. | 01:19 |
| GeneralAntilles | Ah, not AD2P yet | 01:19 |
| thejapanesegeek | altergo: in response to your question, I have been using app manager, but I've been using the "install from file" option. | 01:19 |
| alterego | There's a manual? | 01:19 |
| zerojay | I thought they were one and the same? | 01:19 |
| alterego | thejapanesegeek, right | 01:19 |
| zerojay | alterego: FCC confidentiality is up. | 01:19 |
| thejapanesegeek | is that the problem? | 01:20 |
| alterego | No, it shouldn't be. | 01:20 |
| thejapanesegeek | Is it possibly just bad packages? I've tried two, but neither showed up | 01:21 |
| timely_changelog | alterego: docs for the produc go to bed fairly early | 01:21 |
| timely_changelog | getting things changed for them is amazingly painful | 01:21 |
| alterego | Yeah, I know. | 01:21 |
| timely_changelog | since they go to printers | 01:21 |
| alterego | I've just not seen it. | 01:21 |
| timely_changelog | i've rtied, i generally fail | 01:21 |
| alterego | Hmm, the N810 takes a different battery to the N800 | 01:22 |
| timely_changelog | i have it on my devices and internal xrefs, presumably anyone who got a device for press got one | 01:22 |
| timely_changelog | alterego: it takes a battery compatible w/ the e61i | 01:22 |
| timely_changelog | which is nice, since that's the phone i have :) | 01:22 |
| alterego | :P | 01:22 |
| jeremyb | hehe, timely | 01:22 |
| timely_changelog | and if you think people don't pick phones based on devices... | 01:22 |
| alterego | Heh | 01:22 |
| timely_changelog | when they started working on the 770 they didn't have chargers for them | 01:22 |
| timely_changelog | so they provided people 9500s to use for charging the batteries | 01:23 |
| alterego | Haha | 01:23 |
| GeneralAntilles | Haha | 01:23 |
| zerojay | Yeah, I have to do that sometimes at work too. | 01:23 |
| *** thejapanesegeek has quit IRC | 01:23 | |
| zerojay | Pop the battery into another phone and charge it that way. | 01:23 |
| * timely_changelog nods | 01:23 | |
| timely_changelog | i took my 770 + 3 n800s on my vacation | 01:23 |
| timely_changelog | + chargers for each | 01:23 |
| alterego | My phone is a POS | 01:24 |
| timely_changelog | + 2 extra batteries | 01:24 |
| timely_changelog | mostly just o charge the bateries for 2 n800s | 01:24 |
| alterego | But I'm too tight to buy a new one :) | 01:24 |
| timely_changelog | i only had 1 device to charge my 3 batteries for my e61i whichi made it a problem when i ran through my batteries :( | 01:24 |
| timely_changelog | next time i travel, i'll just take spare n810s :) | 01:25 |
| alterego | Do you buy them all? | 01:25 |
| alterego | Seems a little extravagant :P | 01:25 |
| timely_changelog | so far nokia has given me a 770, a 9300i, an n800, an e61i and has promised an n81-8g and an n810 | 01:26 |
| zerojay | I'm sure they toss N95's around like newspapers. | 01:26 |
| timely_changelog | the n800s i travelled w/ were requisitioned | 01:26 |
| timely_changelog | he n81s are being tossed around like newspapers | 01:26 |
| * alterego is jealous | 01:27 | |
| alterego | I've not had a decent phone since my 7650 :) | 01:27 |

| alterego | I've just been buying crappy disposable ones. | 01:27 |
| zerojay | Dude, are you serious? | 01:27 |
| alterego | Yup. | 01:27 |
| zerojay | 7650 is horrible. | 01:27 |
| alterego | It's in pieces unfortunately. | 01:27 |
| zerojay | Its JVM has a massive memory leak whenever GetResourceAsStream is used. | 01:27 |
| alterego | I did a bit of work for Symbian. | 01:27 |

| *** bedboi has quit IRC | 01:28 | |

| zerojay | Had to reboot it every 15 minutes. :/ | 01:28 |
| alterego | Heh | 01:29 |
| alterego | Right now I'm using my sisters old phone. Some crappy sony ericcson. | 01:29 |
| alterego | The VGA camera lens has come off. | 01:29 |
| zerojay | Gameloft came to us and told us to just give up... there's no way to work around it. | 01:29 |
| alterego | As well as a small plastic panel at the top. | 01:29 |
| alterego | It's also got some very suspect signal connection habits and charging is a bit awkward too. | 01:30 |

| GeneralAntilles | Dunno | 01:38 |
| alterego | There's some of libalarm | 01:39 |
| alterego | Just not the glib objects. | 01:39 |

| *** blkno1 has joined #maemo | 01:51 | |
| Jiten | yes, changing the program to use gtk.glade.XML instead of hildonglade.XML makes it work. I guess hildonglade.py does imperfect job destroying the gtk.window that glade creates | 01:52 |

| alterego | Install debian | 02:12 |
| zerojay | _Logic_: Crap, don't say that. I'm in the middle of doing a 32-bit chroot for it. ;/ | 02:12 |

| x2 | :/ | 02:20 |

| alterego | x2, no. | 02:20 |
| x2 | oh? | 02:20 |
| derf | On 32-bit Gentoo, I should say. | 02:20 |

| timely_changelog | the only good linux is a dead linux :) | 02:20 |

| _Monkey | i guess alterego is yes ;) | 02:21 |
| alterego | In theory it's a nice idea but it's just not worth it. | 02:21 |

| *** akai- has quit IRC | 02:21 | |

| _Monkey | timely_changelog: I forgot alterego | 02:22 |

| timely_changelog | _monkey alterego is <reply> | 02:22 |
| _Monkey | OK, timely_changelog. | 02:22 |
| zerojay | alterego: You should talk to our IT guy then. | 02:22 |
| alterego | Just like, I wouldn't trust anything but debian on my servers. | 02:22 |
| alterego | Anything else would be crazy ! | 02:22 |
| alterego | :) | 02:22 |
| derf | In my experience, no distro I've ever seen properly handles upgrading software on a live system. | 02:23 |
| derf | 99% of the time things work. | 02:23 |
| timely_changelog | 90% | 02:23 |
| derf | But I have a lot more than 100 packages installed. | 02:23 |
| zerojay | We tried it... we encountered so many problems that the company just decided to wipe it out after three days and they replaced it with.. I think it's SuSE. | 02:23 |
| timely_changelog | the other 9% of the time you just don't notice the corruption until later :) | 02:23 |
| derf | The difference between Gentoo and Debian is that on Gentoo, I can _always_ find a way to fix it. | 02:23 |
| alterego | zerojay, your "IT guy" obviously wasn't very useful. | 02:23 |
| alterego | Which is sad. | 02:23 |
| zerojay | alterego: Bzzzzt. Try again. | 02:24 |
| alterego | I'm not convinced. | 02:24 |
| alterego | I can setup a LAMP install with debian in about 10 minutes. | 02:24 |
| zerojay | That's fine. You don't need to be. You weren't there for the days upon days of deailing with broken packages and libraries that no longer existed, etc... | 02:24 |
| alterego | zerojay, sounds like you're talking about another OS. You wouldn't get that with debian. | 02:25 |
| zerojay | Got that with Debian. | 02:25 |
| derf | alterego: It sounds like you're living with your head in the sand. | 02:25 |
| derf | That sounds _exactly_ like Debian. | 02:25 |
| alterego | O_o | 02:25 |
| alterego | Maybe the unstable tree .. | 02:25 |
| derf | I never ran unstable. | 02:25 |
| zerojay | And once broken packages make it into Debian, it takes *ages* to get them fixed. | 02:25 |
| alterego | I remember I once installed an unstable package and it actually uninstalled half of my system. | 02:25 |
| alterego | That was quite fun. | 02:25 |
| derf | Yes, that also. | 02:26 |
| x2 | LOL | 02:26 |
| derf | But substitute testing for unstable. | 02:26 |
| alterego | Well, I've never had a broken package like you describe. Not outside of unstable. | 02:26 |
| zerojay | Debian's got some upsides to it, that's for sure... but it just wasn't working out for us. I had far less problems with it on an old laptop though, but I never really installed much on that anyways. | 02:26 |
| alterego | Yeah well, I wouldn't use anything but stable now. | 02:26 |
| derf | Then you are either phenomenally lucky, or you throw your computers away every 6 months. | 02:26 |
| alterego | If I want something new I'll compile it myself. | 02:26 |
| zerojay | Gentoo's not the sort of thing you'd usually use on production machines most of the time either. | 02:27 |
| derf | Oh, good God now. | 02:27 |
| derf | No. | 02:27 |
| derf | But for a personal development machine? Yes, please. | 02:27 |
| alterego | Riiight .. | 02:27 |
| derf | Though I know a guy who uses Gentoo for all his production machines. | 02:28 |
| zerojay | I've built a few Gentoo boxes for people... the only downside is the compilation time, but that's barely noticable anymore anyways. | 02:28 |
| alterego | debian: server; gentoo: toy robot; | 02:28 |
| alterego | That's what I'd use those for. | 02:28 |
| alterego | Heh, barely noticeable .. | 02:28 |
| zerojay | It's nice being able to type one command and have everything you need installed to run it and not have to worry about a bazillion extra programs being installed because a packager compiled it with every option possible. | 02:28 |
| alterego | Why, why compile the whole system? | 02:28 |
| alterego | For a 0.1% speed increase? :P | 02:29 |
| zerojay | You don't have to. I just like to do it. | 02:29 |
| zerojay | No. | 02:29 |
| Jiten | you know, I'm using a mix of Debian etch and testing/unstable and your problems sounds just unimaginable. I haven't had any problems I couldn't fix in 10 minutes. | 02:29 |
| zerojay | So that you can exclude the crap you don't need. | 02:29 |
| jeremyb | timelyx: is there a microb channel? | 02:29 |
| derf | It has nothing to do with speed. | 02:29 |
| zerojay | Which equals less possibility of security problems. | 02:29 |
| alterego | Jiten, exactly :) | 02:29 |
| zerojay | Less cruft you'd never need. | 02:29 |
| * jeremyb wonders how microb is pronounced | 02:29 | |
| alterego | microbe? | 02:29 |
| alterego | :) | 02:29 |
| jeremyb | hehe | 02:30 |
| alterego | Or Micro Bee | 02:30 |
| zerojay | I just say Micro-Bee. | 02:30 |
| alterego | Yeah, me too. | 02:30 |
| * jeremyb has no tablet :-/ | 02:30 | |

| derf | By sarge, I gave up. | 02:31 |
| TPC | ha | 02:31 |
| zerojay | I don't remember which we were using at the time. | 02:31 |
| TPC | debian potato was my first distro | 02:32 |
| TPC | I didn't know anything about linux | 02:32 |
| alterego | Mandrake was my first :X | 02:32 |
| alterego | Then sarge | 02:32 |
| TPC | I got the install and tried installing.. and failed miserably | 02:32 |
| TPC | ahh.. the memories | 02:32 |
| zerojay | Mandrake was my first install of Linux I did with X. | 02:32 |
| zerojay | Before that.. I think a console only version of VectorLinux. | 02:32 |
| alterego | Then LFS, then FC, then Ubuntu, then debian again, and now etch :) | 02:32 |
| alterego | I missed gentoo. | 02:33 |
| deejoe | slackware | 02:33 |
| _Monkey | slackware is the only os I have tried so far that fights setite's network card | 02:33 |
| alterego | It wouldn't do anything. | 02:33 |
| alterego | Kept screwing everything up. | 02:33 |
| alterego | So I went to LFS | 02:33 |
| * deejoe installed it with floppies. lots. of. floppies. | 02:33 | |
| jj- | Is there some feature equal to gentoo use-flags in debian apt-get ? | 02:33 |
| alterego | apt-get doesn't compile packages jj- | 02:34 |
| deejoe | jj- I think you can set some defaults for apt-build | 02:34 |
| zerojay | You probably didn't read the (admittedly lengthy) installation docs for Gentoo then... everyone I know that had problems just didn't read it or didn't know enough about their system (built for the wrong arch, for example). | 02:34 |
| Jiten | I heard it's possible to set apt up to compile everything | 02:34 |
| jj- | alterego: Yeah, I know that, that is why I'm asking =) | 02:34 |
| zerojay | Or got tired of dealing with it. | 02:34 |
| alterego | zerojay, I was reading them from start to finish. | 02:34 |
| alterego | Jiten, yeah. It's pretty cool. | 02:34 |
| zerojay | Yeah, I know. That's what they all say. ;) | 02:35 |
| deejoe | jj-, Jiten: http://julien.danjou.info/article-apt-build.html | 02:35 |
| derf | I actually hate the new automated Gentoo installer. | 02:35 |
| derf | I still do it from scratch by hand. | 02:35 |
| zerojay | derf: Same here. | 02:35 |
| alterego | zerojay, that's what I say. | 02:35 |
| zerojay | What a horrible piece of crap it is. | 02:35 |
| derf | Of course, I hated Debian's installer, also. | 02:35 |
| zerojay | Debian's wasn't bad. | 02:35 |
| alterego | the etch installer is nice. | 02:35 |
| alterego | the Gtk framebuffer installer that is | 02:36 |
| zerojay | I haven't played with their latest ones though, but most of the time, it went well enough. | 02:36 |
| TPC | I used gentoo for years | 02:36 |
| alterego | The old sarge one was pretty easy. As long as you knew what a partition was etc. | 02:36 |
| TPC | but I stopped about 6 months ago | 02:36 |
| TPC | the quality control of gentoo has been bad lately | 02:36 |
| zerojay | Yeah, there's been a few more problems than usual lately. | 02:36 |
| zerojay | A few key people getting burned out. | 02:37 |
| derf | Gentoo does need to do a better job of recruiting competent volunteers. | 02:37 |
| TPC | broken packages not getting fixed, non-essential packages not getting new versions for over a year even thought a simple version change in the ebuild is all that is required, bug reports not getting attention, etc | 02:37 |
| TPC | gentoo has too few good developers for a distro of its size | 02:37 |
| TPC | no one to take care of the non-core packages | 02:37 |
| derf | But I do not know a distro for which that is not true. | 02:37 |
| zerojay | I haven't come across any real problems though. Nothing that wasn't a quick text file fix away. | 02:37 |
| zerojay | But I know a few people that have. | 02:38 |
| TPC | well, debian has many developers that are only responsible for one or a few packages | 02:38 |
| TPC | that works well, since there is a maintainer for each package | 02:38 |
| TPC | there is always someone who cares | 02:38 |
| alterego | :) | 02:38 |
| zerojay | If they're still involved with the project, anyways. | 02:38 |
| TPC | freebsd do the same thing with their ports system | 02:38 |
| derf | I was very impressed by the Theora package maintainer. | 02:38 |
| TPC | and often the package maintainer in debian is the author of the software | 02:39 |
| alterego | Yeah | 02:39 |
| alterego | Which is even better :) | 02:39 |
| TPC | which is nice for getting bugs fixed and new versions pushed into unstable | 02:39 |
| zerojay | Most of the time, but I did come across quite a few completely abandoned packages as well. | 02:39 |
| TPC | yes, there will obviously always be a few packages where the maintainer left and no one new has stepped up | 02:40 |
| zerojay | FreeBSD is pretty good about their stuff as well. | 02:40 |
| TPC | here is a list: http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/orphaned | 02:40 |
| zerojay | Ports is generally good, but there were a few times where it didn't know what to do anymore. | 02:41 |
| TPC | altought 300 packages out of (last time I saw a figure, which was at least a year ago) 15000 packages isn't that bad | 02:41 |
| zerojay | I wouldn't mind going back to FreeBSD... though if I make a switch anytime soon, I'm going to give OpenSolaris a shot. | 02:42 |

| TPC | celesteh, its a software project, it has a minimal version of core utilities like the shell, ls, mount, chown, and so on | 03:37 |
| TPC | all in one statically linked binary that isn't taking up alot of space | 03:38 |
| TPC | then you can symlink things like /bin/ls to it and it will work like the real thing | 03:38 |
| x2 | ahh | 03:38 |
| x2 | untaring | 03:38 |
| TPC | its nice for emergencies | 03:38 |
| TPC | say if you broke libc | 03:38 |
| celesteh | aren't those commands built-in when you install the xterm? | 03:38 |
| TPC | or need a complete set of utilities on a small system, like a floppy distro | 03:38 |
| celesteh | oh, this isn't a maemo program | 03:39 |
| TPC | nope | 03:39 |
| TPC | maemo is using it thought to provide those basic utilities | 03:39 |
| celesteh | cool | 03:39 |
| TPC | xterm is just a terminal emulator, it doesn't really do much, it takes input from things like the keyboard and sends them to a shell, then shows the output of the shell on the screen | 03:40 |
| TPC | or whatever app you are running obviously | 03:40 |
| TPC | would have been nice if maemo had used linux-utils and coreutils to provide those tools, its the "full" versions of the tools, they may take up more space and use more ram, but they are alot easier to work with if you are used to them | 03:41 |

| pupnik | busybox was a good choice. people who need more can install it. | 04:34 |
| zerojay | Good choice when resources are limited. | 04:35 |
| pupnik | in general, 80% of 'Nokia should have' comments fail the 'have a clue' test. | 04:35 |
| zerojay | Hah.. agreed. | 04:35 |
| pupnik | btw if busybox vi annoys you, the BSD-based 'nvi' is great! (and small) | 04:37 |

| pupnik | thx to lardman for this interesting performance comparison http://hbmobile.org/wiki/index.php?title=Application_Processor_Benchmarks | 04:44 |
| snowmoon | I wonder how the 8x0 will perform @ 400 compared to those specs | 04:47 |
| pupnik | look at the N800's crazy specs on the fourier transform test | 04:47 |
| pupnik | (Curse Intel. We hates it! We hates it! We hates foreevaaaahhhh! </gollum>) | 04:48 |
| *** Quinlan^ has quit IRC | 04:48 | |
| pupnik | Well since memory speed doesn't increase afaik, improvement factor is <= 400/333 | 04:49 |
| snowmoon | But it should bring it much closer to the PXA255 | 04:50 |
| snowmoon | where it's not already beating it | 04:50 |
| pupnik | yeah and PCA270s have been out since at least 2004 | 04:51 |
| pupnik | *PXA | 04:51 |
| snowmoon | One thing it doesn't list though is wattage per unit | 04:52 |
| pupnik | "the 624-MHz PXA 270 dissipated 530 milliwatts," | 04:53 |
| snowmoon | Is that better or worse than the TI chips | 04:54 |
| pupnik | "the PXA 320 operating at the same frequency dissipates 327 mW" | 04:54 |

| x2 | walk to my sisters room | 05:00 |
| x2 | and flash it on xp | 05:00 |
| x2 | OR | 05:01 |
| x2 | install linux in vmware | 05:01 |
| x2 | taking forever | 05:01 |
| x2 | and flash in linux | 05:01 |
| x2 | lol.. | 05:01 |
| celesteh | ok, that sounds like a pain in the ass | 05:01 |
| celesteh | but, unless you're implying something totally inappropriate about your relationship with your sister | 05:01 |
| x2 | lol | 05:02 |
| celesteh | i still don't see what it has to do with being gay? | 05:02 |
| pupnik | afaik the TI omaps give you more bang per milliwatt than PXAs, but this is just an impression | 05:02 |
| snowmoon | I've left my 770 running pidgn for 8-10 hours and still had most of the charge left | 05:03 |
| snowmoon | Now if I can just figure out how not to crash the browser I would be all set | 05:05 |

| zerojay | There were so many threads posted that got to 10+ pages. | 05:25 |

| x2 | great | 06:57 |
| x2 | im trying to do os06 now | 06:57 |
| x2 | to my mmc | 06:57 |
| x2 | then flash hacker | 06:57 |
| x2 | so it should dual boot it | 06:58 |
| x2 | maybe.. | 06:58 |
| x2 | http://maemo.org/community/wiki/HowTo_EASILY_Partition_your_MMC_card | 06:58 |
| x2 | on the 2nd to bottom code box | 06:59 |
| *** jacques has joined #maemo | 06:59 | |
| x2 | where you make the other partition on the mmc.. | 06:59 |
| x2 | it wont let me do mke2fs | 06:59 |
| x2 | says it is not valid | 06:59 |
| x2 | oh yay its done copying everything | 06:59 |
| x2 | let me finish and see if it even boots.. | 06:59 |
| x2 | lolol | 07:02 |
| x2 | i dont know wtf | 07:02 |
| x2 | same exact boot loop | 07:02 |
| pupnik | hrm | 07:03 |
| x2 | i know whats messed up too | 07:03 |
| x2 | http://maemo.org/community/wiki/HowTo_EASILY_Partition_your_MMC_card | 07:03 |
| x2 | 2nd box up | 07:03 |
| x2 | and bottom box | 07:03 |
| pupnik | you gotta insmod the ext2fs module | 07:03 |
| x2 | I doubt it got mounted right | 07:03 |
| x2 | I do? | 07:04 |
| pupnik | or modprobe it rather | 07:04 |
| pupnik | why don't they mention that you have to modprobe the module | 07:04 |
| x2 | is that why im getting owned | 07:04 |
| x2 | lol | 07:04 |
| x2 | im going to flash back to hacker 07 and try again | 07:04 |
| pupnik | hmm nono | 07:05 |
| x2 | how do i modprobe it? | 07:05 |
| pupnik | lsmod | 07:05 |
| x2 | er? | 07:05 |
| pupnik | type lsmod in xterm | 07:05 |
| x2 | hacker o7 or os06 | 07:05 |
| x2 | i need to fraking reflash it again now | 07:05 |
| pupnik | stick with 06 if that's wha. | 07:05 |
| x2 | ok | 07:05 |
| x2 | brb | 07:05 |
| pupnik | if you reflash do 06 and then install xterm and do the becomeroot bit | 07:05 |
| x2 | yea | 07:05 |
| *** NickDe has quit IRC | 07:06 | |
| x2 | i can do that quick | 07:06 |
| x2 | maybe you can walk me through it after that? | 07:06 |
| pupnik | then before you do the mke3fs | 07:06 |
| x2 | im getting nowhere | 07:06 |
| pupnik | do 'lsmod' | 07:06 |
| pupnik | and see if it has the "ext2" module loaded | 07:06 |
| pupnik | if not, then "modprobe ext2" | 07:06 |
| x2 | ok | 07:06 |
| pupnik | otherwise it can't (afaik) format ext2 | 07:06 |
| x2 | is there something else that can cause it? | 07:06 |
| pupnik | afaik, ext2 isn't loaded by default | 07:07 |
| x2 | on hacker 07 everything seemed to be ok | 07:07 |
| x2 | then it boot looped | 07:07 |
| x2 | http://maemo.org/community/wiki/howto_easily_boot_from_mmc_card/ | 07:07 |
| x2 | does that look alright? | 07:07 |

| x2 | ill try this once more :/ | 07:12 |
| x2 | repeat flashing is annoying me | 07:12 |
| pupnik | no afaik that page is missing "modprobe ext2" | 07:14 |
| pupnik | ohhh | 07:14 |
| pupnik | sorry i see it at the end | 07:14 |
| x2 | wha? | 07:15 |
| pupnik | so maybe mke2fs doesn't really require ext2.ko | 07:15 |
| x2 | lol | 07:15 |
| x2 | if this bricks it again.. | 07:15 |
| pupnik | well run through it and maybe we can figure out what's not working | 07:15 |
| x2 | i swear :/ | 07:15 |
| x2 | ok | 07:15 |
| x2 | installing xterm and bluetooth | 07:15 |
| pupnik | also let me know if you want to install two OSes on mmc instead of one | 07:17 |
| x2 | hrm | 07:17 |
| x2 | thats fine | 07:17 |
| x2 | i guess this boot selector isnt working | 07:17 |
| x2 | sicne it doesnt even show that | 07:17 |
| x2 | probably the mmc2 not being mounted right.. | 07:17 |
| pupnik | on n770 you only have mmc1 | 07:17 |
| x2 | h | 07:18 |
| x2 | [00:14] <pupnik> sorry i see it at the end | 07:18 |
| x2 | bleh | 07:18 |
| x2 | # insmod /mnt/initfs/lib/modules/current/ext2.ko | 07:18 |
| x2 | # mount /dev/mmcblk0p2 /media/mmc2 | 07:18 |
| x2 | that bottom mount shouldnt be there? | 07:18 |
| pupnik | oh that :)_ | 07:18 |
| x2 | it never has mounted for me | 07:18 |
| pupnik | i meant in the normal configuration | 07:18 |

| alterego | I've not had that problem | 13:47 |
| alterego | Maybe you should try relaxing more :) | 13:47 |
| alterego | I do have a problem with upcasing characters and the web browser. | 13:47 |
| alterego | If I make any of the top row upcase the focus switches from what ever input I'm using to the location bar, which is a pain in the ass :) | 13:47 |
| timely_changelog | yes, that's a common problem | 13:51 |
| timely_changelog | very annoying | 13:51 |
| Jaffa | Another reason for a real keyboard. | 13:51 |
| Jaffa | Although hopefully the general performance improvements mean that resizing the window to accomdate the popup keyboard is a little more seamless. | 13:51 |
| timely_changelog | i think i ended up blaming the ui | 13:51 |
| timely_changelog | actually i think we stopped resizing the window | 13:52 |
| timely_changelog | jaffa: wanna read a long draft? :( | 13:52 |
| Jaffa | Yeah, better than helping with the Sunday lunch ;-) | 13:52 |
| alterego | Heh | 13:53 |
| * timely_changelog grumbles | 13:53 | |
| timely_changelog | hese people must be dyslexic | 13:53 |
| timely_changelog | how do they manage to draw a slash for the same object going in two different directions.. | 13:53 |
| timely_changelog | *again* | 13:53 |
| Jaffa | Oh no. Am I going to get annoyed at the lack of grammar, punctuation and proper speeling? I get enough of that at work, from supposed client-facing "professionals" :( | 13:54 |
| timely_changelog | if you buy or use a Nokia product, i believe it's impossible not to | 13:54 |
| Jaffa | Only if you RTFM ;) | 13:54 |

| timely_changelog | or TFM, TF-UI, TF-Help, TF-Forums | 13:55 |
| timely_changelog | or Anything with letters | 13:55 |
| *** playya has joined #maemo | 13:55 | |
| Jaffa | TFUI can be so annoying in other ways, I tend to ignore it. Although I got *really* annoyed when Blocks was included officially but still said "You loose". | 13:56 |
| timely_changelog | i got them to fix that one | 13:56 |
| timely_changelog | idiots | 13:56 |
| timely_changelog | i still haven't managed to get them to spell "ring tones" correctly | 13:57 |
| timely_changelog | they insist that nokia style is more important than what's on nokiausa.com | 13:57 |
| timely_changelog | don't ask me why | 13:57 |
| * timely_changelog should cc marketing | 13:57 | |
| timely_changelog | not that marketing seems to have any sway here, they seem to be given orders like "please march off the following cliffs" | 13:57 |
| db48x | heh | 13:58 |
| Jaffa | Aren't marketing usually in charge? (Whether that's for the best or not...) | 13:59 |
| timely_changelog | only in sane places | 13:59 |
| suihkulokki | timely_changelog: damn, that order should have been sent to the legal department | 13:59 |
| timely_changelog | here we have product management which has "Vision" | 13:59 |
| Jaffa | Oh. PHBs FTW. | 13:59 |
| timely_changelog | suihkulokki: the legal department is yet another group which can't manage to write proper English sentences | 13:59 |
| timely_changelog | not specifically the person with whom I work, he's a nice and good lawyer | 13:59 |
| timely_changelog | but the ones who manage to get text into our content | 14:00 |
| Jaffa | Still, Steve Jobs has vision and he seems to be doing all right. | 14:00 |
| timely_changelog | i'll offer text from maemo.org | 14:00 |
| timely_changelog | jaffa: he's steve jobs | 14:00 |
| timely_changelog | we have these guys who readily admit they aren't him | 14:00 |
| timely_changelog | but don't bother trying to emulate him | 14:00 |
| timely_changelog | and still make absolute decissions | 14:00 |
| timely_changelog | anyway, maemo.org url in a sec | 14:00 |
| Jaffa | The Application Manager's legalese is annoying. | 14:00 |
| timely_changelog | https://maemo.org/legal/contribution_guidelines | 14:00 |
| timely_changelog | iirc it doesn't have many bugs other than being verbose | 14:01 |
| timely_changelog | Please note that, Nokia makes no representations or warranties of any kind, including express or implied that your Contribution will end up to this or any other project of Nokia. | 14:01 |
| timely_changelog | "will end up to this" | 14:01 |
| db48x | nice | 14:01 |
| * Jaffa shakes head. | 14:01 | |
| timely_changelog | yes, right, that could be English in some alternate dimension | 14:01 |
| timely_changelog | at this point, i'm happy with verbose legalese as long as it's proper English | 14:02 |
| timely_changelog | i just can't even find tha | 14:02 |
| timely_changelog | and the sad thing is, these people should know that the more words they write, the less likely they are to achieve proper English | 14:02 |
| Jaffa | "Your Contribution must be under license accepted by Open Source Initiative." Missing an "a" there. | 14:02 |
| timely_changelog | yeah well, i didn't say this was the only bug in that sentence | 14:02 |
| timely_changelog | or paragraph... the next one isn't great either | 14:03 |
| Jaffa | "If the contribution or parts thereof are copyrighted by someone else than you and it is not evident form the license terms [...]". Two mistakes in that phrase alone. | 14:03 |
| timely_changelog | but that's a nit! | 14:03 |
| timely_changelog | does it say "Form"? | 14:03 |
| *** cesman has joined #maemo | 14:03 | |
| Jaffa | timely_changelog: yep, that's a c&p. | 14:03 |
| timely_changelog | ... | 14:03 |
| * timely_changelog sighs | 14:03 | |
| suihkulokki | well, the bloggers have replaced journalists dispite the typoes and grammar problems | 14:04 |
| timely_changelog | dear sir: your legal text has been rejected for failing to pass evaluation by a 4th grade American student | 14:04 |
| suihkulokki | so it could happen to lawyers as well :P | 14:04 |
| timely_changelog | suihkulokki: i'd rather replace them with engineers | 14:04 |
| timely_changelog | preferably ones who know that Firefox has a spellchecker | 14:04 |
| timely_changelog | although, even those seem relatively rare :( | 14:05 |
| * suihkulokki prefers replacing them with small shellscripts | 14:05 | |
| timely_changelog | granted, that won't save us from form, but ... | 14:05 |
| timely_changelog | .invite jaffa | 14:05 |
| alterego | Why is spelling so important to you? | 14:06 |
| timely_changelog | alterego: total lack of professionalism | 14:06 |
| alterego | Oh, really. | 14:06 |
| timely_changelog | often the meaning is changed when you mess up | 14:06 |
| alterego | Well, I disagree. | 14:06 |
| timely_changelog | any text that will be translated will be corruped if the ext didn't start off correct | 14:06 |
| * timely_changelog has plenty of examples | 14:07 | |
| timely_changelog | s/ext/text/ | 14:07 |
| infobot | timely_changelog meant: any ttext that will be translated will be corruped if the ext didn't start off correct | 14:07 |
| timely_changelog | no, i didn't! | 14:07 |
| db48x | heh | 14:07 |
| alterego | I guess if your application requires it to be exact that's a good reason. | 14:07 |
| timely_changelog | alterego: oddly, legal contexts DO! | 14:07 |
| timely_changelog | and translations absolutely do! | 14:07 |
| db48x | that's totally unprofessional of you, timeless | 14:07 |
| alterego | Meh, | 14:07 |
| timely_changelog | since otherwise you get the image viewer application which has | 14:07 |
| alterego | legal contexts shmeagle flotexts. | 14:07 |
| timely_changelog | "(finn)turn to horizontaol" | 14:08 |
| timely_changelog | err | 14:08 |
| timely_changelog | "(finn)turn to horizontal" | 14:08 |
| timely_changelog | and | 14:08 |
| timely_changelog | "(finn)turn to vertical" | 14:08 |
| timely_changelog | which if you try to read it basically means | 14:08 |
| timely_changelog | for a wide image and the first option, do nothing | 14:08 |
| alterego | Why don't you just get lawyers from whatever country the language you're translating to? | 14:08 |
| timely_changelog | for a tall image and the second option, do nothing | 14:08 |
| timely_changelog | alterego: sorry, unrelated problem spaces | 14:08 |
| alterego | Ah | 14:08 |
| * timely_changelog pokes jaffa, join | 14:09 | |
| timely_changelog | the translation space is what i'm describing here | 14:09 |
| * alterego compiles some stuff for maemo :) | 14:09 | |
| timely_changelog | for a tall image and the first option, it means "rotate 90deg" to a random direction | 14:09 |
| timely_changelog | and similarly for a wide image and the second option | 14:09 |
| timely_changelog | too bad the intent means something very different | 14:10 |
| timely_changelog | s/means/was/ | 14:10 |
| infobot | timely_changelog meant: too bad the intent was something very different | 14:10 |
| * timely_changelog pokes jaffa, join? | 14:10 | |
| alterego | Well, I can't say I get annoyed by poor translations, or other peoples spelling mistakes. I do get annoyed about my own spelling mistakes. | 14:10 |
| db48x | alterego: timely works for Nokia, so in a sense they are his own spelling mistakes | 14:11 |
| timely_changelog | they make me look bad | 14:11 |
| alterego | :) | 14:11 |
| timely_changelog | they result in a product which won't sell well in our target market | 14:12 |
| alterego | To who? I think you're quite pretty ;) | 14:12 |
| timely_changelog | have you seen a photo of me? | 14:12 |
| alterego | No | 14:12 |
| timely_changelog | and did you mean petty? | 14:12 |
| alterego | Hah | 14:12 |
| timely_changelog | see, spelling counts! | 14:12 |
| alterego | :) | 14:12 |
| timely_changelog | and if i can't trust you to spell words right, i can't trust anything you say | 14:12 |
| timely_changelog | maybe you misspelled that too... | 14:12 |
| alterego | s/No/Yes | 14:13 |
| alterego | :) | 14:13 |
| alterego | I generally always correct myself. | 14:13 |
| timely_changelog | generally always = contradiction | 14:13 |
| timely_changelog | redo from start | 14:13 |
| timely_changelog | usually? | 14:13 |
| alterego | I will usually correct myself :P | 14:13 |
| timely_changelog | btw, i've removed most of the spelling errors from the numbered section | 14:14 |
| timely_changelog | that doesn't mean there weren't any | 14:14 |
| timely_changelog | it just means they annoyed me so much that i couldn't stand them / waiting to rewrie them | 14:15 |
| timely_changelog | oh, for the record, since not everyone here knows, my 't' key fails some portion of the time | 14:15 |
| * timely_changelog can't wait for the i, e, m, l, and s keys to start failing | 14:15 | |

| timely_changelog | no raido | 14:16 |
| konttori | it was mentioned somewhere | 14:16 |
| timely_changelog | s/id/di/ | 14:16 |
| infobot | timely_changelog meant: no radio | 14:16 |
| alterego | It's an external unit I thought. | 14:16 |
| timely_changelog | we swapped the radio for gps :) | 14:16 |
| konttori | ahh. well, makes sense | 14:17 |
| konttori | would have been nice while waiting for the final a2dp support | 14:17 |
| konttori | I was mainly interested in it for the transmitter part. | 14:18 |
| konttori | to be able to hook sound signal to the stereo | 14:18 |
| konttori | they were saying in here: http://www.linuxdevices.com/news/NS3669465936.html | 14:19 |
| konttori | that it contained the trasmitter. | 14:19 |
| konttori | anyway, gps is much better to have in there. | 14:19 |

| db48x | timely_changelog: got a minute for a stupid question? | 14:32 |
| timely_changelog | sure | 14:32 |
| db48x | I need to know how to launch microb from the command line, in order to get Talos working on the n800. However, simply executing /usr/bin/browser doesn't do anything | 14:33 |
| db48x | is there a trick? a secret handshake perhaps? | 14:33 |
| *** Agogo has quit IRC | 14:33 | |
| timely_changelog | um | 14:33 |
| timely_changelog | typically tha should work | 14:33 |
| timely_changelog | you can try /usr/bin/browser --engine=microb --url=about:blank | 14:33 |
| alterego | Shouldn't he use the dbus service? | 14:33 |
| timely_changelog | the fewer headaches the better | 14:34 |
| timely_changelog | and given talos integrates w/ a number of geckos | 14:34 |
| timely_changelog | all of which use shell scripts or equivalents to run, no | 14:34 |
| * alterego wonders if that would work with OS2008 | 14:34 | |
| timely_changelog | he shouldn't be customizing the thing to deal with lame apis | 14:34 |
| timely_changelog | especially ones likely to change weekly | 14:34 |
| db48x | well, Talos has a different Python module for each OS already | 14:35 |
| db48x | and I'm adding one specifically for the n800 | 14:35 |
| alterego | Right | 14:35 |
| db48x | so if I must use dbus then I will | 14:35 |
| timely_changelog | ok: i don't support dbus | 14:35 |
| timely_changelog | if you want to deal w/ it, you're on your own | 14:35 |
| db48x | if there's documentation on it, and the command line doesn't work | 14:35 |
| timely_changelog | you can talk to swift, but um, you can't :) | 14:35 |
| db48x | ahh, adding the --url param fixed it | 14:36 |
| db48x | well, almost | 14:36 |

| alterego | Well, I never owned a 770 so I don't really know about it. | 14:37 |
| db48x | it only crashes if there's already a copy of the browser open | 14:37 |
| alterego | I think I'll drop support for the 770 and ruby-maemo | 14:37 |
| alterego | I'll compile one set of packages but that's it for now. | 14:37 |
| timely_changelog | alterego: well, that page is designed to solve the problem, at least until 4.0 comes out | 14:38 |
| timely_changelog | which reminds me | 14:38 |

| * timely_changelog frowns | 14:41 | |
| timely_changelog | what is a Internet Tablet Video Converter | 14:41 |

| timely_changelog | and why does it deserve a produc? | 14:41 |
| timely_changelog | alterego: i'd suggest giving up | 14:41 |
| alterego | :( | 14:42 |
| alterego | Giving up what? | 14:42 |
| timely_changelog | well, you're going to do it, you probably want 2.0, 2.1, 2.2., ... | 14:42 |
| alterego | I'm not going to do it for _every_ release .. | 14:43 |
| alterego | I'll do it for 2.2 3.2 and 4.0 | 14:43 |
| alterego | Which should be inline with the latest ITOS releases for each HW platform? | 14:43 |
| timely_changelog | does svn not suppor symlinks? | 14:43 |

| alterego | timely_changelog, yes. I know. | 14:44 |
| alterego | Like 770 can run 3.2 | 14:44 |

| alterego | (HE) | 14:44 |
| db48x | oh, hrm | 14:48 |
| db48x | I bet there's no way to specify a new profile location when you launch microb | 14:48 |
| timely_changelog | iirc the env vars probably work | 14:49 |
| timely_changelog | but otherwise, right | 14:49 |
| timely_changelog | no commandline parsing | 14:49 |
| db48x | env var is worth a try | 14:50 |
| db48x | MOZ_PROFILE_DIR or something, right? | 14:50 |
| timely_changelog | sounds right, but ask mxr | 14:50 |
| db48x | hmm, no luck | 14:53 |
| sp3000 | yes, svn can store symlinks | 14:56 |

| alterego | Maybe turn that off? | 15:17 |
| timely_changelog | but, to do so, i'd have to backup everything, which takes way too long | 15:17 |
| timely_changelog | alterego: why should i have to? | 15:17 |

| zerojay | Put it in offline mode. | 15:18 |
| alterego | Hah | 15:18 |
| alterego | Send it to me. | 15:18 |
| timely_changelog | zerojay: but maybe i don't want it offline | 15:18 |
| timely_changelog | alterego: sorry, i can only ship official hardware | 15:18 |
| alterego | :) | 15:18 |
| timely_changelog | and i think i've already offered my n810 | 15:18 |
| alterego | What about an N95? | 15:19 |
| timely_changelog | i don't have one | 15:19 |

| * alterego rubinizes libconic | 15:22 | |
| timely_changelog | is the next word wrong? | 15:22 |
| zerojay | "and"? | 15:22 |
| timely_changelog | that's the word | 15:23 |
| zerojay | Yeah, i guess it should be "or". | 15:23 |
| Jiten | ok, there is something weird about gtk.TextView. If I type a literal string and put it in there, I can select the text just fine. However, for some other strings that come from an unpickling operation (I think) I can't select the text. Even if I combine them with literals before showing. | 15:23 |
| timely_changelog | there's a bugs.maemo.org/Documentation product | 15:23 |
| timely_changelog | please file a bug :) | 15:23 |
| zerojay | Will do. | 15:23 |
| timely_changelog | specify version 4.0 | 15:23 |
| timely_changelog | it's still broken | 15:23 |
| zerojay | Alrighty. | 15:23 |
| timely_changelog | feel free to read throught the rest of the page | 15:23 |
| timely_changelog | if you're feeling evil, you can try setting target milestone of "Next" | 15:24 |

| *** celesteh has joined #maemo | 15:24 | |
| timely_changelog | easiest way to abuse bugzilla is to get jesse's frmget bookmarklet (google it) | 15:25 |
| db48x | wow, the tabs in osso-xterm look terrible | 15:25 |
| timely_changelog | and then add '@' | 15:25 |
| zerojay | Hahaha. | 15:25 |
| timely_changelog | to the CC field | 15:25 |
| *** _Monkey has joined #maemo | 15:25 | |
| timely_changelog | when you submit, you'll have an error, but the url will let you abuse it | 15:25 |
| Jiten | I guess my problem isn't too widely known one. I guess I'll try to dig some more. | 15:25 |
| timely_changelog | db48x: they're gone in 4.0 | 15:25 |
| timely_changelog | thank g-d | 15:25 |
| db48x | good | 15:25 |
| zerojay | timely_changelog: I think I'll just let you add it properly after it's filed. ;) | 15:25 |
| timely_changelog | tabs on maemo are about the dumbest thing imaginable | 15:25 |
| db48x | can you launch multiple xterms instead? | 15:25 |
| timely_changelog | db48x: um | 15:25 |
| timely_changelog | dunno, since xterm isn't on my product image :) | 15:26 |
| zerojay | timely_changelog: Agreed.. but everyone keeps bitching for tabbed browsing. | 15:26 |
| timely_changelog | but there's a new window option in the app menu | 15:26 |
| zerojay | It's as though they want to LOSE more screen space. | 15:26 |
| timely_changelog | zerojay: users are clever | 15:26 |
| GeneralAntilles | Ha, no, tabs are a fine idea. | 15:26 |
| GeneralAntilles | You just have to implement them right. | 15:26 |
| GeneralAntilles | For instance: transparency. | 15:26 |
| timely_changelog | see... we already have a ui | 15:26 |
| timely_changelog | it's this button which keeps changing its icon | 15:27 |
| timely_changelog | atm it looks like a house | 15:27 |
| timely_changelog | but in the n810 it will look like a square | 15:27 |
| timely_changelog | with a shadow | 15:27 |
| timely_changelog | press it once, and you get a list of "tabs" | 15:27 |
| GeneralAntilles | That's two clicks | 15:27 |
| timely_changelog | including 64x54 icons | 15:27 |
| GeneralAntilles | I want one click | 15:27 |
| sp3000 | timely_changelog: pretty sure it autoconns shouldn't give you dialogs by default? | 15:27 |
| snowmoon | if you don't want to loose screen realestate just have the tab bar auto-hide on fullscreen mode | 15:27 |
| timely_changelog | sp3000: that'd be logical and reasonable | 15:28 |
| sp3000 | since the autoconns are to saved networks, prompting to save would be ...weird | 15:28 |
| timely_changelog | but my device disagrees | 15:28 |
| GeneralAntilles | Just make the tab background transparent. | 15:28 |
| timely_changelog | ok, fwiw, transparency on our device is a big cpu killer | 15:28 |
| sp3000 | timely_changelog: fwiw when I open a link in a new window, I'll then to switch back and would like to know when the new page has loaded | 15:28 |
| timely_changelog | so can you just pretend that transparency is both impossible and simply doesn't exist? | 15:28 |
| alterego | Heh | 15:28 |
| sp3000 | s/then/tend/ | 15:29 |
| infobot | sp3000 meant: timely_changelog: fwiw when I open a link in a new window, I'll tend to switch back and would like to know when the new page has loaded | 15:29 |
| timely_changelog | sp3000: an info bannner wouldn't make you happy? | 15:29 |
| * GeneralAntilles looks at the OS2008 screenshots and wonders. | 15:29 | |
| snowmoon | doesn't the TI chip have asmall 3d unit on it? | 15:29 |
| sp3000 | timely_changelog: it might | 15:29 |
| GeneralAntilles | Then, how about 100% transparent? | 15:29 |
| timely_changelog | snowmoon: and no driver for it, yep | 15:29 |
| timely_changelog | sp3000: i'll gladly give you that | 15:29 |
| zerojay | snowmoon: We don't have access to it and the only driver available is for Linux 2.4. | 15:29 |
| timely_changelog | especially if i can trade it for the current "updating" banner ... | 15:29 |
| * timely_changelog rolls eyes | 15:29 | |
| timely_changelog | 100% transparent? sure, as long as i can optimize it away | 15:30 |
| timely_changelog | since that means i don't need to do any drawing | 15:30 |
| * timely_changelog likes tha deal | 15:30 | |
| timely_changelog | what's next? | 15:30 |
| db48x | is there any way to make 'return' behave properly? | 15:31 |
| timely_changelog | hrm, you don't want to be able to click on your 100% transparent tabs, i hope | 15:31 |
| timely_changelog | db48x: use the numeric keypad one instead? | 15:31 |
| GeneralAntilles | Divider bars and title text | 15:31 |
| db48x | that's 'enter' | 15:31 |
| db48x | and it's really far away from my pinky | 15:31 |
| timely_changelog | it usually does what people want | 15:31 |
| timely_changelog | anyway, xmodmap ? | 15:31 |
| * timely_changelog shrugs | 15:31 | |
| timely_changelog | just remap return to enter | 15:31 |
| db48x | yea, I figured that's how I'd have to do it | 15:31 |
| alterego | snowmoon, that it does but it's not utilised yet. | 15:32 |
| timely_changelog | yet... | 15:32 |
| *** aloisiojr has joined #maemo | 15:32 | |

| * sp3000 tries to find chinook api docs | 15:32 | |
| timely_changelog | db48x: tell your sdk you're an n810 | 15:32 |
| GeneralAntilles | Actually, really, if I could just change something to "Open in new background window" I'd be happy. | 15:32 |
| timely_changelog | it doesn't open the vkb by default if you're an n810 | 15:32 |

| timely_changelog | good question :) | 15:33 |
| sp3000 | meh, it doesn't have what I was looking for | 15:33 |
| timely_changelog | db48x: try control panel/text input settings | 15:33 |
| *** t_s_o has joined #maemo | 15:33 | |
| timely_changelog | under on screen, i have "enable stylus input methods" | 15:34 |
| timely_changelog | if you have that, you can uncheck i | 15:34 |
| timely_changelog | if you don't, get a vpn and ask swift to help you find out the logic it uses :) | 15:34 |
| timely_changelog | ok... | 15:35 |
| timely_changelog | anyone here have microb? | 15:35 |
| db48x | no, I don't have that | 15:35 |
| GeneralAntilles | Yup | 15:35 |
| timely_changelog | in about: | 15:35 |
| db48x | I do have microb though | 15:35 |
| timely_changelog | do you have something abou "internal settings" | 15:35 |
| timely_changelog | db48x: if you're using trunk, i don't care | 15:35 |
| timely_changelog | i need latest release i think | 15:35 |
| db48x | I've still got the release version on my n800 | 15:36 |
| timely_changelog | oh, ok | 15:36 |
| timely_changelog | check about: :) | 15:36 |
| db48x | it does not have anything about internal settings | 15:36 |
| zerojay | timely_changelog: I don't see anything about internal settings either. | 15:36 |
| GeneralAntilles | Yeah, nothing. | 15:36 |
| timely_changelog | ok, good | 15:36 |
| db48x | it's got a link to about:config though | 15:36 |
| timely_changelog | err | 15:36 |
| zerojay | See the build config used in this version... | 15:36 |
| timely_changelog | same for the rest of you? | 15:37 |
| timely_changelog | about:config is what i'm asking about | 15:37 |
| db48x | heh, the link to the release notes is missing | 15:37 |
| timely_changelog | yeah | 15:37 |
| timely_changelog | i suppose we could try fixing that someday | 15:37 |
| db48x | the text is 'See the prefs config for this version' | 15:37 |
| timely_changelog | especially since i do write them | 15:37 |
| db48x | is the release version really based on 3.0a1? | 15:38 |
| timely_changelog | i think we always forge the useragentn | 15:38 |
| timely_changelog | it's based on something from this summer | 15:38 |
| db48x | the gecko version number is a6pre | 15:39 |
| db48x | they should at least be in sync :) | 15:39 |
| timely_changelog | why? :) | 15:39 |
| timely_changelog | personally, if i'm going to fight the ua | 15:39 |
| timely_changelog | i want it to stop violating the ua spec | 15:39 |
| db48x | haven't the gecko and firefox alphas been in sync this time around? | 15:39 |
| timely_changelog | which it does... | 15:39 |
| db48x | I know we're up to 1.9a9pre and 3.0a9pre, respectively | 15:40 |
| timely_changelog | fwiw, the reason for channels is because i'm unregistered | 15:40 |
| timely_changelog | hence, i can't /msg | 15:40 |
| db48x | yea, freenode is annyoing | 15:41 |

| timely_changelog | heh | 15:44 |
| snowmoon | any way to default new app windows ( not dialogs ) to be fullscreen on the 770 | 15:46 |
| zerojay | timely_changelog: Aww, the Maemo bugzilla doesn't inline image attachments. ;/ | 15:47 |
| zerojay | timely_changelog: 2148 if you want to throw in the evil Next milestone. | 15:48 |
| zerojay | The N810 release is going to be a fun time on Bugzilla. | 15:50 |
| zerojay | Tons of shit to do, check, verify... | 15:50 |
| timely_changelog | you assume someone will do a decent job of resolving bugs | 15:50 |
| timely_changelog | is tha reasonable? | 15:50 |
| zerojay | Considering how many open bugs there are, probably not. | 15:50 |
| Jaffa | Historical evidence would not suggest it is something Nokia engineers/QA will do. | 15:51 |
| zerojay | I'd do it, but I'm not Nokia and I don't want my wrist slapped for doing so. | 15:51 |
| timely_changelog | zerojay: talk to quim | 15:52 |
| timely_changelog | they recently undid my effors to grant editbugs | 15:52 |
| timely_changelog | explain you know what you're doing | 15:52 |
| Jaffa | No, I think it's exactly the kind of thing the community should do if Nokia aren't going to. | 15:52 |
| Jaffa | Ah, but that's dependent on still having editbugs. | 15:52 |
| zerojay | I have editbugs. | 15:52 |
| timely_changelog | right :( | 15:52 |
| timely_changelog | oh good | 15:52 |
| timely_changelog | because someone said they removed most of those bits | 15:52 |
| zerojay | Yeah, I still have it. | 15:53 |
| timely_changelog | anyway, i'd suggest contacting quim to make sure he's ok w/ it | 15:53 |
| zerojay | Yeah, of course. | 15:53 |
| timely_changelog | he absolutely should be, but... | 15:53 |
| db48x | what would they get out of doing that? | 15:53 |
| timely_changelog | anyway, i need to talk to quim about enabling milestones | 15:53 |
| zerojay | db48x: Cleaner bugzilla helps everyone. | 15:53 |
| db48x | no, what would they get out of removing editbugs from a bunch of accounts? | 15:54 |
| zerojay | I guess one of my previous bugs might have scared them into doing it. | 15:54 |
| timely_changelog | yes | 15:54 |
| timely_changelog | well, no | 15:54 |
| timely_changelog | not sure | 15:54 |
| timely_changelog | since the case in question was a nokian | 15:54 |
| timely_changelog | and hence it shouldn't have :) | 15:55 |
| zerojay | Well, maybe it woke them up to the possibility. | 15:55 |
| timely_changelog | and they were at work, there's no way for them not to be able to figure out he's a nokian | 15:55 |
| timely_changelog | your bugs are definitely driving some of the pieces | 15:55 |
| timely_changelog | btw, jaffa/zerojay/someone | 15:55 |
| timely_changelog | any idea how to look at other people's profiles in maemo.org? | 15:55 |
| Jaffa | I was wondering that too, I assume it's supposed to be possible. | 15:56 |
| zerojay | I haven't seen anything, but i haven't looked much yet. | 15:56 |

| alterego | :) | 18:24 |
| alterego | with 4 hours battery life? | 18:24 |
| alterego | Hah not likely ^_^ | 18:25 |
| zoran | I know, you would ask for charger | 18:25 |
| zoran | some carriers has it on the seat side | 18:25 |
| zoran | *have | 18:25 |
| alterego | That would be useful. | 18:25 |
| alterego | Though, the GPS may not work. A lot don't work over 99Mph | 18:26 |
| celesteh | there's a nice solar charger too | 18:26 |
| *** alex-weej has joined #maemo | 18:26 | |
| sciboy | I can't find any info about the N810 being transreflective. | 18:26 |
| celesteh | if you're flying in full sun | 18:26 |
| zoran | I saw in semtember linux journal about using n800 in flight | 18:26 |
| sciboy | Everywhere just says it's 20% brighter than the N800 screen. | 18:26 |
| alterego | sciboy, trust me, it is. Check out planet.maemo.org | 18:26 |
| celesteh | from soldius | 18:26 |
| GeneralAntilles | sciboy, tabletblog.com | 18:26 |
| celesteh | the n800 would have a bluetooth dongle gps, though | 18:26 |
| GeneralAntilles | My i-blue 737 worked fine on a 737 doing about 480mph. :D | 18:27 |
| alterego | Well, I've never actually owned a GPS. | 18:27 |
| alterego | My dad has a few. | 18:27 |
| alterego | A couple of Garmins. | 18:27 |
| flip^ | sciboy: tabletblog has a photo of it being readable in sunlight | 18:27 |
| zoran | doc sears from lj coupled n800 with bt gps box and made a map of his flight | 18:28 |
| alterego | Cool. | 18:28 |
| zoran | also using maps from rep and some proprietary software | 18:28 |
| zoran | prop comes with sd cards | 18:29 |
| zoran | maps tried to cennect the internet too often | 18:29 |
| alterego | I'm gonna write a program that periodically turns on GPS for a few minutes. Waits for a fix or timeout, if it's near a recognized wifi zone it'll login and download my email :) | 18:29 |
| GeneralAntilles | I was going to do that on my trip to San Francisco with Maemo Mapper, but didn't want any of the flight attendants freaking out about the GPS. :D | 18:29 |
| zoran | not so easy at 30000 feet | 18:29 |
| alterego | Then make some gay sound effect. | 18:29 |
| sciboy | Damn.... | 18:29 |
| _Monkey | it has been said that damn is a very sad thing to say | 18:29 |
| derf | Why would you bother with GPS? | 18:30 |
| sciboy | Well at least I know I have something to upgrade to in the future. | 18:30 |
| derf | If you're near a recognized WiFi zone, you're near a recognized WiFi zone. | 18:30 |
| alterego | Good point. | 18:30 |
| zerojay | And the N800 already checks e-mail automatically once connected so... | 18:31 |
| alterego | Yes, that I know. | 18:31 |
| zoran | huh | 18:31 |
| zoran | is it good? | 18:31 |
| alterego | The N800 email app is a POS | 18:31 |
| zerojay | Unless you want to blacklist some hotspots. | 18:31 |
| alterego | Usable but crap. | 18:31 |
| zerojay | Works for me. | 18:31 |
| derf | It can't even open my inbox. | 18:31 |
| derf | Fills up all of RAM and then crashes. | 18:31 |
| zoran | imap? | 18:32 |
| alterego | Heh | 18:32 |
| derf | Yes. | 18:32 |
| db48x | or subscribe to IMAP folders, apparently | 18:32 |
| zerojay | I'm not a heavy e-mail user.. I'm not a business user, so for me, it's more than enough. | 18:32 |
| alterego | Well, IMAP works for me. | 18:32 |
| zoran | mutt works fine with that | 18:32 |
| GeneralAntilles | It amazes me that after 2 years we still don't have a decent e-mail app. | 18:32 |
| zerojay | Modest is coming. | 18:32 |
| zoran | mutt | 18:32 |
| alterego | What's Modest? | 18:32 |
| _Monkey | hmmm... Modest is an email client built on libtinymail | 18:32 |
| alterego | Oooo | 18:32 |
| zerojay | Bingo. | 18:32 |
| derf | I run my own webmail server. | 18:32 |
| alterego | Neat | 18:32 |
| derf | So I can deal. | 18:32 |
| alterego | Web mail is for girls and emos :P | 18:33 |
| zerojay | alterego: http://modest.garage.maemo.org/ | 18:33 |
| db48x | I couldn't imagine using my email client on the n800 | 18:33 |
| GeneralAntilles | Actually, I haven't touched the e-mail client since OS2005, so it may have gotten better. | 18:33 |
| derf | Web mail is for people whose work blocks imap ports. | 18:33 |
| alterego | Mutt is the mail client of choice for me :) | 18:33 |
| zoran | I have my system using mutt and getmail | 18:33 |
| zerojay | The one and only problem I have with the e-mail client is that it sees &s as "s in links. :/ | 18:33 |
| zerojay | So confirmation e-mail links usually don't work unless you edit them manually. | 18:34 |
| db48x | derf: ssh tunnels cure all ills | 18:35 |
| zerojay | db48x: If you don't mind being fired, sure. | 18:35 |
| alterego | ssh is the bestest. | 18:35 |
| *** b0unc3 has quit IRC | 18:36 | |
| derf | The point is there are still a lot of situations in which you have access to a web browser, and not much else. | 18:36 |
| db48x | I could never work somewhere that wouldn't let me use ssh | 18:36 |
| zoran | it also has open port, so you could talk to that port in any language yu like | 18:36 |
| zerojay | db48x: I guess you don't work in tech, electronics or video games then. | 18:36 |
| alterego | I'm not sure I could work anywhere that hindered my internet access. | 18:36 |
| db48x | I do work in tech | 18:37 |
| zerojay | At my job, only outbound 80 and 443 is allowed. | 18:37 |
| alterego | That's horrible. | 18:37 |
| zerojay | So I run sshd on 443. ;P | 18:37 |
| zerojay | Well, no... it makes sense. | 18:37 |
| alterego | I couldn't work under those circumstances. | 18:37 |
| *** rene4jazz has joined #maemo | 18:37 | |
| db48x | I suppose if ssh will get you fired, then you could always tunnel the traffic over dns or something | 18:37 |
| alterego | All the fiddling just to get out onto the net. | 18:37 |
| zerojay | When you have major security concerns, it's really important. | 18:37 |
| derf | A couple weeks ago I was at a hotel in San Francisco where the only port that worked was 80. | 18:37 |
| zerojay | db48x: Yeah, that won't work either. | 18:38 |
| derf | I mean, not even 443. | 18:38 |
| alterego | Wow, that _is_ horrible. | 18:38 |
| alterego | Especially for someplace as trivial as a hotel :) | 18:38 |
| zoran | so, one box with service on port 80 could make a thing | 18:38 |
| zerojay | Yeah, that's shit. | 18:38 |
| derf | I don't think it was intentional... they didn't actually _block_ it. | 18:38 |
| derf | But you'd get about 4K of data, and then the connection would die off. | 18:38 |
| derf | But everything on port 80 was blazing fast. | 18:39 |
| zoran | the rason to have phone and use 810 over it | 18:39 |
| db48x | heh | 18:39 |
| zerojay | I just use my N800 for most other stuff anyways, so I don't care if work blocks stuff. | 18:39 |
| zerojay | Of course, we're not allowed to use wifi either and my N800 technically isn't allowed either, but whatever. | 18:39 |
| zoran | for linux or what? | 18:40 |
| db48x | yea, I'd go crazy in an environment like that | 18:40 |
| alterego | Wow, that's a lot of core dumps .. | 18:40 |
| zerojay | But because we're kind of a separate company from Ubisoft now.. the security stuff is less problematic for me anyways. | 18:41 |
| zerojay | USB ports are completely banned. | 18:41 |
| alterego | ? | 18:41 |
| zerojay | They're all blocked off on all PCs normally. | 18:41 |
| alterego | Your job sucks :P | 18:41 |
| zerojay | Not for us because we HAVE to have them to do stuff like load our games on phones, etc.. | 18:41 |
| zerojay | Nope. | 18:41 |
| zerojay | It's the best thing ever, honestly. | 18:41 |
| zerojay | Most of those rules don't apply to my company anyways. | 18:42 |
| alterego | Heh | 18:42 |
| alterego | I want a new job. | 18:42 |
| zoran | you could always transfer files over port 80 | 18:42 |
| zerojay | It's because Ubi is paranoid about people leaking their games, IP, etc.. and it makes total sense. | 18:42 |
| alterego | Preferably something involving programming internet tablets :) | 18:42 |
| Juhaz | it makes zero sense if http(s) is open | 18:42 |
| zerojay | zoran: Everything is logged and they use huge firewalls with packet inspection and all. | 18:42 |
| zerojay | It's hardcore stuff. | 18:42 |
| alterego | Maybe I could start my own business writing software for internet tablets. | 18:43 |
| zoran | nokia would like you | 18:43 |
| zerojay | So would most here. | 18:43 |
| alterego | Heh | 18:43 |
| GeneralAntilles | Software is one thing we can always use more of. | 18:44 |
| alterego | Well, once I've got ruby-maemo 1.1 out of the door I'll be able to start writing software :) | 18:44 |
| zerojay | I'd like to see some of the software we already have get better. | 18:45 |
| alterego | I've got some cool ideas .. | 18:45 |
| zerojay | Like all the game ports that were made. | 18:45 |
| alterego | I'm not really a big gamer. | 18:45 |
| zerojay | A lot of them were just done quick and never touched again. | 18:45 |
| alterego | So I'm not that interested in doing that side of things. | 18:45 |
| * flip^ really wishes developing for maemo was easier to get into from scratch... i miss the days of writing code, compiling, seeing results :( | 18:45 | |

| GeneralAntilles | That's what Python is for, no? | 18:47 |
| alterego | With any luck ruby-maemo will be out tomorrow. | 18:47 |
| alterego | I just need a chance to clean some things up and write more documentation. | 18:47 |
| alterego | I've been working on it non-stop since friday morning O_O | 18:47 |
| GeneralAntilles | Ouch | 18:48 |
| zoran | working on 2006? | 18:48 |
| flip^ | I really should get round to learning python, but i'm not impressed with the way they went from 2.4 to 2.5 on maemo, releasing a whole new package rather than upgrading | 18:48 |
| alterego | Yeah, I'm starting to slow down now .. | 18:48 |
| GeneralAntilles | I'm going to guess there was a good reason for it, flip^, though I don't know it. :D | 18:49 |
| zerojay | Probably for the same reason they went to GTK 2.10... more current. | 18:50 |
| flip^ | I keep meaning to learn either python or ruby, and the fact that i have a choice there has actually slowed my picking up either | 18:51 |
| GeneralAntilles | I'd go with ruby | 18:53 |
| GeneralAntilles | Don't care for Python | 18:53 |
| * GeneralAntilles wants his whitespace. | 18:53 | |
| zerojay | Agreed. | 18:53 |
| tko | what good is ruby without rails? *g* | 18:53 |
| zerojay | I can't stand a language where just having whitespace kills everything. | 18:54 |
| alterego | Ruby is a really nice language. | 18:54 |
| alterego | Personally I think it's a _lot_ nicer than Python. | 18:54 |
| GeneralAntilles | Most certainly. | 18:54 |
| Mikho | what's so nice about it? | 18:54 |
| zoran | perl and python for 770/800 are really winners | 18:54 |
| flip^ | what can you actually do with ruby/python though... i mean, when it comes to the crunch, outside api's and documentation, what are they respectively good for doing? | 18:55 |
| shapr | Whatever any programming language can do. | 18:55 |
| GeneralAntilles | http://tryruby.hobix.com/ | 18:55 |
| alterego | They're good at writing programs in. | 18:55 |
| shapr | Turing completeness and all that. | 18:55 |
| db48x | I wonder how hard it would be to get a cl implementation working on the n800 | 18:55 |
| shapr | I want Haskell. | 18:55 |
| derf | I don't think you understand the meaning of the word "good". | 18:55 |
| alterego | I was toying with porting tinyscheme :) | 18:55 |
| alterego | shapr, do it :) | 18:55 |
| tko | I just can't be bothered getting annoyed by something like syntax. lisp, python, haskell, braces.. it's just irrelevant | 18:55 |
| flip^ | Yes, but php is good for writing whatever prgramming languages can do, but i wouldn't try and write a standalone graphical application in it ... all languages have something they tend to do better at | 18:56 |
| alterego | Who's annoyed about syntax? | 18:56 |
| GeneralAntilles | Yes, shapr, get to work. :P | 18:56 |
| * flip^ grumps at haskell.... bane of my life | 18:56 | |
| flip^ | or was anyway | 18:56 |
| shapr | alterego: Won't happen today :-) | 18:56 |
| shapr | flip^: Sure, but php was never designed to be a general purpose programming language, ruby/python/perl are/were. | 18:56 |
| shapr | flip^: I've had a Haskell job for a while.. 1.5 years? | 18:57 |
| zerojay | eh.. i'm bored. I guess I'll add screenshots to all my bugs. | 18:57 |
| alterego | Writing anything in Ruby is fun and easy. It might not be the most efficient implementation but it's fun, and easy. The language stays out of your way and lets you do things how you want to do things. | 18:57 |
| alterego | That is why I like ruby. | 18:57 |
| GeneralAntilles | time | 18:57 |
| GeneralAntilles | Ignore that. | 18:57 |
| shapr | alterego: But each person has a different definition of 'stays out of my way' so different people like different languages. | 18:57 |
| Mikho | sounds like a commercial | 18:57 |
| alterego | :) | 18:58 |
| zoran | ruby could be a lot for 770, if some1 has no ext2 partition on mmc | 18:58 |
| derf | Everyone also has a different definition of "how you want to do things". | 18:58 |
| shapr | yup | 18:58 |
| alterego | So could Python. | 18:58 |
| derf | And generally, for everything I do efficiency is hugely important. | 18:58 |
| alterego | When efficiency is important I write a C extension. | 18:58 |
| tko | efficiency first, correctness later? ;-) | 18:59 |

| flip^ | scrabulous was *just* about playable on a n800 i found... very slow though | 19:11 |

| niluth_ | hi, what kind of file manager does maemo use? Some kind of Nautilus or something custom? | 19:23 |
| timely_changelog | custom | 19:23 |
| niluth_ | alright, would it be interesting with a project that integrates Nautilus with Maemo/GMAE? | 19:25 |
| niluth_ | (thinking about applying to the N810 developer program) | 19:25 |
| zerojay | Please, please, please keep Nautilus as far away from our tablets as possible. :~( | 19:25 |
| niluth_ | heavyweight? | 19:25 |
| zerojay | No. Just crap. | 19:26 |
| tko | niluth_: traditional file manager isn't too user friendly anyway | 19:26 |
| zerojay | It's too late for me to beg to keep GTK away from the tablets though. :/ | 19:26 |
| niluth_ | but if the user interface were customized for small form factors and touch screens? | 19:27 |
| tko | zerojay: you can always use Xlib :) | 19:27 |
| zerojay | hehe. | 19:27 |
| Jiten | gtk has it's problems, I agree. Though, considering what I believe are Nokia's goals, there really isn't much choicce. | 19:27 |
| tko | niluth_: it is, but even still | 19:27 |
| zerojay | Jiten: Yeah, I agree. I'm just afraid to see GTK go ahead and dump everything and break everything yet again. | 19:28 |
| timely_changelog | jiten: eventually maybe we can switch to widget based apps | 19:28 |
| timely_changelog | and ditch gtk/glib | 19:28 |

| db48x | derf: so what's your idea of a 'real' language? | 19:39 |
| derf | I will give you a hint: it is not XML- or SGML-based. | 19:39 |
| db48x | oh, you just mean something other than a declarative 'language' like html or xul | 19:40 |
| derf | Yes. | 19:40 |
| * timely_changelog is confused | 19:40 | |
| timely_changelog | so you like the idea of writing lots of really shitty code to generate an inflexible ui in C / Python? | 19:40 |
| timely_changelog | gotcha | 19:41 |
| derf | Yes, that is precisely what I said. | 19:41 |
| alterego | You can generate JScript well enough not to need to code in it :) | 19:41 |
| alterego | Maybe an XUL->glade_xml XSLT stylesheet :) | 19:41 |
| alterego | You could use Ruby as the scripting language. | 19:41 |

| *** pupnik has quit IRC | 21:38 | |

| Jiten | this mnemosyne port I've been working on for the last few days | 21:39 |
| zerojay | alterego: I haven't ever played with Ruby before, but your work has me interested in trying it. | 21:39 |
| Jiten | for some reason ComboBox widget wants me to use TreeStore for the list. | 21:40 |
| alterego | Interesting. | 21:40 |
| Jiten | umm TreeModel | 21:40 |
| alterego | Not ListStore? | 21:40 |
| alterego | ListStore is a descendant of TreeModel .. | 21:40 |
| Jiten | yes, ListStore I'm using. I guess I'm getting tired when I slip like this. | 21:41 |
| alterego | :) | 21:41 |
| alterego | Tell me about it. | 21:41 |
| alterego | I'm sick of libosso :) | 21:41 |
| Jiten | anyway, back to figuring out why the list gets populated but every choice is empty. | 21:41 |
| alterego | and dbus .. | 21:41 |
| alterego | Jiten, have you created a text renderer? | 21:42 |
| alterego | And assigned it to the column? | 21:42 |
| *** k-s[WORK] has joined #maemo | 21:42 | |

| alterego | SE-Wilco, sounds more like an issue with your location. | 21:43 |

| SE-Wilco | Grr. Also the lib for Pidgin won't finish downloading into AppMgr. | 21:58 |
| Jiten | yes, it's quite simple really. first assign an angle for each letter, for example 0 for a, 13 for b, 26 for c and so on. | 21:59 |
| Jiten | then when you want to type a word, you try to draw lines as close to the angles as you can. | 21:59 |
| Jiten | when you lift the stylus from the touchscreen, it decodes the input with the assumption that there are some errors. Finds the closest word in it's dictionary that matches. | 22:00 |
| juh0 | SE-Wilco: did you try this to solve connection problem? gconftool-2 --set --type int '/system/osso/connectivity/IAP/wlan_sleep_timeout' | 22:00 |
| juh0 | '1000' | 22:00 |
| Jiten | could benefit from predictive text input as well as pattern matching how close the angles are to the ideal angles for different words. | 22:02 |

| konttori | Hi guys, ukmp 1.7alpha 7 is now available for testing. | 22:48 |
| konttori | https://garage.maemo.org/frs/download.php/2371/UKMP-1.70Alpha7.deb | 22:48 |
| konttori | Works on n810 as well (need python though) | 22:48 |
| konttori | It has been bug fixes as well as new realtime reflection and pointer glow. | 22:49 |
| konttori | Both of these will be improved before the 1.7 final, but I would like to get impressions from you guys early on. | 22:49 |
| konttori | So, in case you have n800 / n810 and have been using ukmp on it, please test that out and let me know what you think | 22:50 |
| *** florian has joined #maemo | 22:50 | |

| straind | Anyone want an easy wiki edit? | 22:56 |
| GeneralAntilles | *correctly | 22:56 |
| m-vo | konttori, your .install has lots of bora repositories, that doesn't sound right for a device running chinook (like the n810). | 22:56 |
| *** |tbb| has joined #maemo | 22:57 | |
| konttori | what is em-dash? | 22:58 |
| GeneralAntilles | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dash#Em_dash | 22:58 |
| konttori | m-vo: yeah, but it seems that to get python installed (there is no final release yet), you need all those repos | 22:58 |
| m-vo | A dash that is as wide as a upper case "M". | 22:59 |
| konttori | ahh... So, how do they turn out ? Does it drop them completely? | 22:59 |
| m-vo | Yes, still doesn't sound right. I am just pointing out instances of your repository mess. | 22:59 |
| GeneralAntilles | äa? or something like that | 23:00 |
| GeneralAntilles | Only showed up during loading | 23:00 |
| GeneralAntilles | and I can't seem to pull up the videos section to check the file it was on. | 23:00 |
| konttori | m-vo: what mess? If it depends on something that is only available in bora, then so be it. That is for testing purposes only until nokia is done with the chinook implementation of python | 23:02 |
| konttori | GeneralAntilles:Hmm... as in nothing happens when you click on the videos link? | 23:02 |
| m-vo | If the python implementation in the bora distribution works for a chinook device, why isn't it in the chinook distribution? | 23:03 |
| GeneralAntilles | One video comes a quarter of the way onto the left side of the screen | 23:03 |
| GeneralAntilles | but stays there | 23:03 |
| GeneralAntilles | Music works fine. | 23:03 |
| |tbb| | what chinook stays for | 23:03 |
| GeneralAntilles | m-vo, probably because the device and the OS aren't released yet. | 23:03 |
| eichi__ | maybe with hostapd?? | 23:06 |
| m-vo | well, the SDK beta is out already. | 23:06 |
| GeneralAntilles | beta | 23:06 |
| *** alterego has quit IRC | 23:06 | |
| *** alterego has joined #maemo | 23:07 | |
| konttori | m-vo: the python comes from sardine. The dependencies are in bora. | 23:07 |
| konttori | so it's almost there now, but not quite. | 23:07 |
| m-vo | Right, that's the Sardine mess. (My fault due to lazyness.) It should have been rebased on the SDK beta as soon as it came out. (The alpha SDK was based on Sardine, btw.) | 23:08 |
| tko | wtf? some dependencies that were in bora are missing from chinook? | 23:08 |
| m-vo | GeneralAntilles, I blame myself for half of the mess, btw, but I seem to be one of only few people who perceive the current situation as a mess. | 23:09 |
| *** vivijim has joined #maemo | 23:09 | |
| *** vivijim has left #maemo | 23:10 | |
| konttori | I think some of the bindings just aren't there yet. e.g. gpsd. | 23:10 |
| tko | I'm perceiving too many individual messes all round :-/ | 23:10 |
| konttori | so that's why it's not out yet | 23:10 |
| konttori | and probably why it hasn't been properly fixed to put the dependencies to chinook. | 23:11 |
| *** NetBlade has quit IRC | 23:11 | |
| m-vo | maybe, that would fit our usual approach of laying a golden eggs or die trying. | 23:11 |
| konttori | anyway, GeneralAntilles: Did you find the glow effect irritating? | 23:11 |
| GeneralAntilles | Not really, mostly pointless. | 23:11 |
| *** Gray9Mar_ has quit IRC | 23:12 | |
| roope | Hmm. | 23:12 |
| tko | m-vo: without the trying part, really | 23:12 |
| GeneralAntilles | Less interesting when it doesn't so much move around as jump from place to place. | 23:12 |
| konttori | Ahh.. Indeed, it is pointless. I'm hoping to add to it to get some wow effect out of it. That point is mostly a stub at the moment | 23:12 |
| konttori | waiting for the right content. | 23:13 |
| GeneralAntilles | I would highlight the selected media icon, though. | 23:13 |
| GeneralAntilles | The reflections on the images look good | 23:13 |
| GeneralAntilles | don't care for the reflections on the title text, though | 23:14 |
| GeneralAntilles | it mostly just makes it hard to read. | 23:14 |
| konttori | You mean that when you click on the music icon, it highlights that? Yeah, I intend to drop that. | 23:14 |
| konttori | I agree on the title thing. It's waiting for text repositionings | 23:14 |
| GeneralAntilles | Add a Photoshop glow filter to the icon that's selected. | 23:14 |
| konttori | should look cooler after the text is repositioned. | 23:14 |
| konttori | GeneralAntilles: I may drop the icons completely soon. | 23:15 |
| konttori | So, I won't add the 'selected item' functionality there for that reason. | 23:15 |
| konttori | but it is a good point nevertheless | 23:16 |
| GeneralAntilles | Right, right. :) | 23:16 |
| GeneralAntilles | What are you replacing the icons with? | 23:16 |
| * m-vo is uploading sqlite... | 23:16 | |
| m-vo | err, "uploading sqlite docs into brain..." | 23:16 |
| GeneralAntilles | Also, think you could change the transition from overview to selection so that the item you select moves into place in the bottom right corner? | 23:16 |

| m-vo | sqlite is not interesting because of sql, but because it has figured out transactions, etc. Wouldn't want to reimplement all of that just to avoid sql. :) | 23:39 |
| konttori | But for storing and sharing, it is really good, even for those 2d tables. | 23:39 |
| pupnik_ | i'm not saying anyone here is guilty of misapplying sql :) | 23:40 |
| konttori | not many even use it to begin with ;) | 23:41 |
| konttori | Nope, seriously, your point is well taken. It is indeed easy to use it for pointless tasks as well and slow down your program because of the overhead. | 23:41 |
| m-vo | heh, the sql tutorial starts by explaining SELECT. But I don't even have a table yet! | 23:41 |

| db48x | unfortunately you need to know how SELECT works in order to design a table | 23:42 |
| *** joejaxx has joined #maemo | 23:43 | |
| db48x | (well, designing one table isn't too hard, but the whole set you tables you will need requires that understanding) | 23:43 |
| m-vo | yeah, but the tutorial could tell me to how to create a example table. It's a tutorial, after all. | 23:44 |
| db48x | yea | 23:44 |
| pupnik_ | you have to store a few pages of information in brain before you can do anything | 23:44 |
| m-vo | It's actually not a tutorial, just a brief explanation of SQL concepts.... :/ | 23:45 |
| db48x | once you get past the initial hurdles, sql is pretty straight-forward | 23:45 |
| db48x | the really funny thing is that it was essentially designed as the primary user interface for the database | 23:46 |
| konttori | Try out this indt guys tutorial on sqlite: http://www.initd.org/tracker/pysqlite/wiki/basicintro | 23:46 |
| konttori | It goes pretty quickly though all the simple stuff. easy to test the code. | 23:46 |
| tko | why do you want documentation anyway? :) | 23:47 |
| konttori | night! | 23:47 |
| *** konttori has quit IRC | 23:47 | |
| inz | Hmm, I wonder if I should release wordpress 2.3 package for maemo -- upgrade from 2.0.9 is not perfect :/ | 23:48 |

| _|Nix|_ | m-vo: Ping! Can I have a variable on the right-hand-side of "Build-Depends:"? You know, like "Depends:" can have "${shlibs:Depends}" on its RHS? | 23:50 |
| _|Nix|_ | It'd be useful if I could do that, so I can use the same setup to build on both bora and chinook ... | 23:50 |
| *** joejaxx has quit IRC | 23:51 | |
| suihkulokki | _|Nix|_: not really. however you can alternatives like "Build-Depends: foo-bora | foo-chinook" | 23:51 |
| _|Nix|_ | suihkulokki: Ooooh! So, it'll build if at least one is present. | 23:51 |
| _|Nix|_ | suihkulokki: Is it a short-circuit | ? | 23:51 |
| _|Nix|_ | suihkulokki: Cuz, I'm thinking libhildon1-dev | hildon-libs-dev *grin* | 23:52 |
| suihkulokki | short-circuit ? | 23:52 |
| tko | IIRC there were three different algorithms for install Build-Depends (at least) :) | 23:52 |
| _|Nix|_ | suihkulokki: If it finds the first one it doesn't look for the second one. | 23:52 |
| suihkulokki | _|Nix|_: yep. | 23:53 |
| tko | dpkg-buildpackage just checks the presence of things, not try to install anything | 23:53 |
| _|Nix|_ | tko: I know, but I've already done the right things in configure.ac | 23:53 |
| _|Nix|_ | tko: However, my control file was good only on Bora. | 23:53 |
| _|Nix|_ | tko: But "|" is a simple answer. | 23:54 |
| _|Nix|_ | Oooh ... but now I need foo | <nothing> :o) | 23:54 |
| _|Nix|_ | So, an optional Build-depends ... | 23:54 |
| tko | wouldn't it be nice if someone had already thought this through while breaking all the APIs...? | 23:56 |
| m-vo | _|Nix|_, foo | <nothing> can be optimized away. | 23:56 |
| m-vo | in other words, foo isn't really a build-dependency. | 23:56 |
| _|Nix|_ | m-vo: True ... | 23:56 |
| _|Nix|_ | I guess I really /do/ want it, it's just that etrunko hasn't added it to chinook-extras yet :o) | 23:57 |
| _|Nix|_ | I'm talking about avahi | 23:57 |
| _|Nix|_ | ... and if I don't have it, I can't build the Bonjour plugin ... | 23:57 |
| _|Nix|_ | ... and I have it on Bora, but not Chinook ... | 23:58 |
| m-vo | just stick the bora binary into chinook extras. | 23:58 |
| tko | debian isn't too great in handling optional build dependencies | 23:58 |
| _|Nix|_ | m-vo: Not gonna work. Needs a rebuild. | 23:58 |
| m-vo | >:-) | 23:58 |
| _|Nix|_ | m-vo: The Bora binary depends on dbus-1-2, whereas Chinook ships dbus-1-3 | 23:59 |
| tko | _|Nix|_: so rebuild and upload to extras? =) | 23:59 |
| m-vo | tko, i thnk it's good to be flexible in configure.ac and strict in debian/control and debian/rules. | 23:59 |
| inz | _|Nix|_, I use libhildon1-dev | hildon-libs-dev and it works fine | 23:59 |
| _|Nix|_ | tko: I've asked etrunko to do that. I don't wanna mess with that, because, who knows, I may not have the right environment, etc. He's done it before. I haven't. | 23:59 |
