hachiwhat choices for mail clients do I have on maemo... I see the builtin client, which wastes a ton of cpu on my inbox all the time00:20
*** MagicFab has joined #maemo00:20
hachiI see modest, which is OK, but doesn't let me see more than one account at the same time, and doesn't update my server when I read/delete email00:21
hachiand then claws which just doesn't work well00:21

mazzenhachi: for me *this* is the first mail client i can really use on the n-series00:42
hachithe builtin client spins the cpu for line 30 minutes anytime it tries to sync the inbox00:42
mazzencant't confirm that. the only bad thing is: i don't see any folders of my imap account. but the performance is really good00:43
hachiI can't get modest to actually do the operations on the imap00:44
*** EruditeHermit has joined #maemo00:44
hachiI can delete messages on my n81000:44
hachiand they're still there on the imap server00:44
EruditeHermithi, is there a word processor like abiword for maemo 4?00:45
pupnikabiword is coming00:47
hachithe notes app is actually close enough to a WP for me to use00:47
hachiany 'fancy' stuff I do will need a machine that can print anyways00:47
EruditeHermitpupnik: any ideas when?00:49

lcuk_2with fbreader not working its pushing me to needing faster text rendering01:28
czrhmm. why doesn't it work?01:29

lcuk_2nope, from page 9 i clicked the position bar to the middle and it jumped to....page 7 (it should be around page 150)01:31
czrah. maybe it has a bug somewhere (like "duh") :-)01:32
lcuk_2theres somethin up with it cos its borked01:32

LinuxCodeanything else is a super-bonus01:34
LinuxCode;-}01:35
lcuk_2nice01:35
LinuxCode+ fedora is running an arm project01:35
LinuxCodeas I found out yesterday01:35

LinuxCode;-D01:35
*** juergbi has quit IRC01:35
* czr runs away from fedoras arm before it's too late01:35
LinuxCodeit will only help Nxxx01:36
czrhmm. what's PST short for? pacific central?01:36
* lcuk_2 gets back an older version of fbreader01:36
LinuxCodeif momentum grows and drags developers into hildon etc..01:36
LinuxCodeczr, pacific standard time ?01:37
czrah. could be01:37
LinuxCodeor something like that01:37
|tbb|is there some functionality to reload the home screen by command in windows its killall explorer ;)01:37
lcuk_2momentum might drag them in, but some of us get lost when we are in here01:37

*** JussiP has quit IRC01:38
LinuxCodetbh....01:38
* czr hates syncing up with people with completely different timezones01:38
LinuxCodeI think without familiar...maemo wouldnt exist01:38
czrarranging telephoning times is such a pita..01:38
LinuxCodeczr, yeh01:38
LinuxCodespecially PST01:39
LinuxCode-801:39
LinuxCodecet -901:39
LinuxCode;-|01:39
* czr nods01:39
czrCET was bad enough for me last time01:39
lcuk_2familiar?   for every device ive coded for then has been one primary dev chain that has been an end to end solution.  im losing myself inside virtual machines and just want to edit/compile/run01:39
czrlcuk_2, at least now you can find yourself again. just look for the ping hairy thingy :-)01:40
czrbut yeah, you're on to something..01:40
lcuk_2i can do it with python now for maemo, but I'll be damned if i can understand the process for anything else01:41
*** gopi has joined #maemo01:41
* czr hugs the clock applet in KDE01:42
LinuxCodetbh....01:42
czrallows me to track multiple timezones simultanously, not just two01:42
LinuxCodenokia made a huge mistake not to put a calendar etc.. app in01:42
*** mankod_ has quit IRC01:42
LinuxCodeI was pretty miffed...I expected it01:42
LinuxCodeeven my shitty P800 has one01:42
czrthere might be some reasons for that though01:42
|tbb|gnite all01:43
LinuxCodeyeh 2008 is a bit behind01:43
lcuk_2nite tbb01:43
LinuxCodenn mate01:43
czrcause they assume that people are using their phones for calendaring and such, which is obviously kind of weird when you'd have the large screen of N81001:43
LinuxCodedevice dev was faster than OS dev01:43
*** |tbb| has left #maemo01:43
czrwell, it might be some internal strategic reason01:43
czrwho knows of these things..01:43
LinuxCodeyeh01:43
LinuxCodethe big whale01:43
LinuxCodewho knows where it swims and how fast01:43
lcuk_2nokia fly on wall:    arse, meet elbow01:44
LinuxCodelol01:44
lcuk_2their n9x phone people need to get together with the maemo people and do some interfacing01:45
*** niteOw1 has joined #maemo01:45
czrhopefully not01:45
czrat least most of the sw on N810 runs01:45
lcuk_2even if its just for the powervr code01:45
czreven if there's not a lot of it01:45
czrthe powervr thing is a money question I guess01:45
LinuxCodeId like to see a mobile phone using linux01:46
czrand a design question as well, I'd guess01:46
czrmotorola has some, as does panasonic and moko01:46
LinuxCodeyeh01:46
LinuxCodebut everywhere in the Uk i asked01:46
LinuxCodenobody knows01:46
LinuxCodeor stocks them afaik01:46
LinuxCodeits very disappointing01:46
LinuxCodebut now I dont care anymore01:47
czrwell, UK is a backwards country in so many ways anyway ;-)01:47
LinuxCodenow I have the N81001:47
LinuxCodeczr, you here ?01:47
LinuxCodeUK ?01:47
* lcuk_2 is from the uk but is a hairless pink wig wearer so stands out from the crowd01:47

LinuxCodeyou may sell it ...01:49
LinuxCodeand buy a new City01:49
czrlcuk_2, sure :-)01:49
czrbut then again I only walked outside during daylight :-)01:49
lcuk_2im goin over the top, but once you look beneath the surface manc isnt that nice01:49
czrso I guess I'm even more disqualified ;-)01:49
czrprobably01:49
czrI didn't spend too much time there. was living in chester at that time01:49
* LinuxCode mugs czr and teals hos nxxx01:49
*** eijk_ has quit IRC01:49
LinuxCodesteals01:49
lcuk_2might be the same everywhere but there are scallies who arent that nice01:49
LinuxCode;-p01:49
czrand it was driving me nuts, so machester was a nice change01:49
lcuk_2manc can be great with a bit of makeup on01:50
LinuxCodelcuk_2, the "chavs"01:50
czrLinuxCode, leave my hos alone!01:50
*** mankod has joined #maemo01:50
LinuxCodelol01:50
lcuk_2i think chavs are too posh for this lot01:50
czrlcuk_2, you have the pink wig now, so you're on your way to liking it ;-)01:50
LinuxCodeI hope my laptop battery comes tomorrow01:50

lcuk_2i like lots of things about manc and in the busy towncentre there is a great vibe01:51
lcuk_2but once you start walking the streets on warmish nights (the 3 nights a week when its not raining) the mood changes01:51
czrbtw, the timediff from here to PST is 10 hours01:51
lcuk_2where are you?01:51
czrThe Great Linux Kingdom of Finland (now serving Reindeers too)01:52
czrHelsinki to be more precise. at least at this moment.01:52
lcuk_2cool01:52
lcuk_2and if i remember you dont drive01:52
*** osantana has joined #maemo01:52
czrthe word is "cold"..01:52
*** mazzen has quit IRC01:53
czroh, I could, but I live in the city centre so owning a car would be silly for me.01:53
lcuk_2i remember the conversation now01:53
*** bilboed has quit IRC01:53
czrsee.. the ping wig is working!01:53
czrpink even.01:53
lcuk_2your timezone program - does it retain user name lists and other info01:53
czralthough a ping wig would be cool too01:53
czrlcuk_2, it's a clock applet. so no.01:53
czrbut that would be an interesting idea01:54
LinuxCodebtw guys the internal mem on the N810 is NAND memory ?01:54
lcuk_2i need a wallchart with user snippets on01:54
LinuxCodecan any of you confirm that ?01:54
czralthough I was thinking about that when was thinking about the problem of organizing meeting times between people01:54
czrLinuxCode, dmesg might have some messages to that effect, although I can't be certain atm..01:54
LinuxCodegood idea01:54
czrprobably NAND..01:54
LinuxCodelets see01:54
LinuxCodeI read it somehwhere01:55
czrI'd be suprised if not.01:55
*** osantana has left #maemo01:55

lcuk_2128mb DDR01:55
LinuxCodewicked!01:55
LinuxCodeawesome!01:55
lcuk_2and 256 MB NOR flash memory01:55
lcuk_2and integrated (NAND) flash capacity for storing data is 2 GB01:55
LinuxCodenow all it would need is 4GB of it and it would be a device for life-time01:55
lcuk_2at least thats what tgdaily says01:56
LinuxCodethen expanding memory usage wont be an issue01:56
lcuk_2http://www.tgdaily.com/content/view/34941/149/01:56
LinuxCodeif its nand...because it doesnt degrade01:56
* lcuk_2 's mind degrades01:57
LinuxCodewell it does degrade01:57
LinuxCodebut 1 million writes..01:57
LinuxCode;-p01:57
LinuxCodeas long as your filesystem aint stupid01:57
LinuxCodesaying that its fat16/3201:58
czrdoes it matter whether the user is stupid or not?01:58

lcuk_2if i install directly from a .deb on the filesystem, it wont be listed in the updatable apps will it?02:09
czrit won't02:10
czrunless a repo will provide a newer version of the same package02:11
*** Pio has quit IRC02:11
czrlcuk_2, same if you would just install a .deb with dpkg -i in normal debian-based distro02:11
LinuxCodewtf02:12
LinuxCodewhat sucks02:12
LinuxCodeeh that02:12
*** javamaniac has joined #maemo02:12
lcuk_2that means a lot - i am not a linux ninja.  i am just starting02:12
czrLinuxCode, why would it suck?02:13
czrhow would apt know which place to search for the new package?02:13
LinuxCodeare you telling me if you install stuff via dpkg it wont stick it in the package database ?02:14
czrit will02:14
LinuxCodeok02:14
czrthat wasn't the question I think02:14
LinuxCodethen i misunderstood02:14
LinuxCodesorry02:14
czrmaybe I did, lcuk_2?02:14
LinuxCodeso lets be clear02:14
czrlcuk_2, dpkg is the command line tool to install packages :-). -i = install from .deb file. so something like dpkg -i foobar.deb02:14
LinuxCodelcuk_2, if you dpkg -i xxx.deb. it keeps the package name in the database02:15
*** giskard has quit IRC02:15
lcuk_2ive had a problem with auto updating app, i am manually installing the older version and posting a bug fix if it works, but i want the app to auto update after they fix it02:15
lcuk_2yes i think it is because its listed for uninstall02:15
LinuxCodelcuk_2, use apt-get02:15
LinuxCodethe Nxxxupdater sucks02:15
czrlcuk_2, that should be fine if you install the fixed version from a repo later02:15
lcuk_2can i get a specific version with apt-get?02:15
LinuxCodethat I do not know02:16
czrassuming that the specific version is available in the repo, yes02:16
LinuxCodenow thats a good feature02:16
lcuk_2from the looks of things its not...02:16
czrbut normally older versions are removed automatically when a new version is released02:16
LinuxCodewish yum had that02:16
* LinuxCode fancies something sweet02:16
czrat least AFAIR, haven't installed specific versions for ages02:16
lcuk_2ive got 2/3 of the dependents it lists (by using google cache to get the filenames and used their tree)02:16
czrbut I seem to remember that it works quite ok02:16
lcuk_2they are stupid, they have obsolete versions listed, but the last few are gone02:17

czrwhy?02:40
czrwhy would anyone care whether linux users are men or female anyway?02:41
*** ol_schoola has quit IRC02:41
LinuxCodeczr, I do because it means the more equal the percentage of users is...the more mainstream it will be02:42
pupnikbecause women who use linux are cool02:42
LinuxCodeczr, I also want kids to use it02:42
czrLinuxCode, no. the ratio of users using linux versus other systems is the only factor that decides whether it's mainstream or not.02:42
LinuxCodekids is probably more important than any adult02:42
LinuxCodeczr, agreed02:42
lcuk_2i keep scaring my eldest by threating to put linux on his DS02:42
czrheh02:42
LinuxCodebut if theres an equal percentage it means its closer ot being mainstream02:42
zerojayI got so bored with the DS that I took mine apart and left it like that.02:43
czrLinuxCode, does it? I think you cannot prove this :-)02:43
LinuxCodeIndeed sir02:43
LinuxCodeI cannot02:43
LinuxCodewhen I can...I will be happy02:43
LinuxCode;-D02:43
* czr will be happy too02:43
zerojayThere's more women than you think.02:43
lcuk_2mainstream != equal male/female participation02:43
czrI'd just like more women to start doing serious computer work so that work environments would be more balanced02:43
LinuxCodeczr, agreed02:44
czralthough ours isn't so bad infact.02:44
LinuxCodeits better for the work environment too02:44
zerojayJust that so many women get hit on like crazy when they out themselves because of other guys going "OOOH, SHE LIKES LINUX, LET ME SEE IF SHE WILL TOUCH MY LEELEE" that they don't want to bother.02:44
LinuxCodetbh University puts people off02:44
LinuxCodespecially girls in the UK02:44
LinuxCode;-|02:44
czrzerojay, indeed02:44
czrzerojay, and it's not even linux-related02:44
czrLinuxCode, I blame the parents02:45
czrI always blame the parents02:45
czrwhen I started my polytech thingy, there was 32 of us. 2 women.02:46
czrand that's more or less the ratio that the program had for most years02:46
zerojayAnd I bet those two were constantly hit on.02:46
czrzerojay, well. only one actually.02:46
LinuxCodeczr, tbh i think that ratio still applies02:46
zerojayThe other one was hitting on that one too then. :)02:46
LinuxCode;-|02:46
czrzerojay, I doubt it :-)02:47

benno2__hi, on OS 2006 I had connectivity_preload.sh , how can I force to start the connection OS 2008 at boot ?02:58
zerojayIt does it automatically.02:58
zerojayIf you have it set to connect automatically.02:58
benno2__zerojay: thanks, where can I set the connection autostart in OS2008 ?02:59
zerojayIt's not really connect on boot.02:59
zerojayBut it will try to connect once it boots up.02:59
lcuk_2benno, click the connection notification icon and click "connectivity settings"02:59
zerojayYep.03:00
benno2__thanks I already have connect automatically WLAN connections03:00
benno2__but it does not work03:00
zerojayIt does.03:01
lcuk_2whats search interval03:01
lcuk_2is it never?03:01
benno2__I have vnc started in the real_af_init_script, at the end of script. but it says cannot connect.03:01
benno2__search interval 10min03:01
zerojayYeah, if you have it set to never, it won't connect.03:01
zerojayWell, it should connect sometime between boot and 10 minutes later then.03:01
benno2__I need it immediately because I have a vnc client which opens the screen immediately03:02
zerojayYou'll have to work it out yourself then.03:02
j0ttanyone managed to build a glx enabled xserver for os2008 (mesa)?03:03
lcuk_2does an application have to inform osso if it wants internet or should accessing an address attempt to connect03:03
zerojayj0tt: You want to run a glx enabled X on a tablet that has no 3d acceleration?03:03
benno2__zerojay: under OS 2006 I called  source /usr/bin/connectivity_preload.sh  and afterwards vncviewer and it worked well.  now on OS2008 connectivity_preload.sh is missing03:03
j0ttzerojay: yes! :)03:03

zerojayj0tt: What's your idea of "low"?03:06
j0tt0.25-5 fps03:06
zerojayYou'd be lucky if you got even that much.03:06
dragornyou'd probably be much better off with a software gl lib03:06
dragornmesa in sw mode or something should be completely plausible03:07
j0tta glx enabled xserver without hw accelration is mesa sw mode :)03:07
czrwell, you can also use mesa-sw directly03:07
czrnot bothering the X server at all03:07
j0tti could indeed..03:08
czrprobably easier in your case03:08
dragornj0tt: But it isn't.  Well, ok, maybe I lie.  A server configured for HW accel which falls back to SW is typically significantly slower than a server configured for pure sw03:08
j0ttbut ITs are there to "bother" :)03:08
dragornbut that may be an artifact of the hw drivers of whatever kind I was dealing with03:08

lcuk_2yer, which is why we cannot speed down the motorway with our stereos on - we either go slowly and have it loud or speed up quietly ;)04:52
GeneralAntillesThe N8x0 knows what it's doing.04:52
elbXamusk: for the most part, you don't want to do that, because of the way processors consume power04:52
Xamuskbecause when I had my palm m100 I could get one week without changing batteries and I have to recharge my TX after one day04:53
elbXamusk: you want to cut your processor speed to a level that balances speed transitions with making clock speed available for tasks which need it04:53
GeneralAntillesA task will take more time to complete at a lower clock cycle, and basically consume the same amount of power as if the task were completed sooner at a faster clock cycle.04:53
GeneralAntillesM100 didn't have a backlight . . .04:54
elbon the ARM, clock transitions are probably less painful than on more complicated processors, but still04:54

GeneralAntillesEh, I prefer backlight level 1 without any other lights on.04:58
[1]a-l-p-h-aLinuxCode, power plugged in causes no sound.04:59
elbwell, we'll see what I prefer when the device actually arrives04:59
Xamuskby the way, I've read that n8x0 won't charge by the usb cable04:59
Xamuskis this real?04:59
elblike I said, I'm *hoping* to be happy with reflected light04:59
GeneralAntillesI don't think the transflective is gonna cut it without sun-level lighting.04:59
GeneralAntillesXamusk, yes.04:59
Xamuskdamn04:59
GeneralAntillesFor a variety of reasons05:00
XamuskI guess 5v isn't enough then05:00
GeneralAntillesI'm blaming: slow charging off USB (500mA versus 860mA from wallwart), expense for Nokia of making another charger type, and the host-mode/OTG support of the port.05:01
GeneralAntilles5v is05:01
GeneralAntillesBut voltage isn't the only factor. :)05:01
*** seraph1 has quit IRC05:01

GeneralAntillesjust much more slowly than the wallwart05:04
LinuxCodewallwart ?05:05
LinuxCodestandard charger ?05:05
GeneralAntillesthe car charger is about 380mA05:05
elbI wonder how the efficiency compares05:05
elbwallwarts are notorious for leaking energy ... I wonder if a laptop powering its USB port is more or less efficient ;-)05:05
GeneralAntillesUh, output is 860mA.05:05
GeneralAntillesand a laptop is about the least efficient DC transformer ever created.05:06
elbwhat does "Uh, output is 860mA" mean?05:06
elband yes -- but my laptop is already on and running05:06
elbif it weren't being used, that would be a reasonable conclusion, but it is05:06
GeneralAntillesThe wallwart outputs 860mA, it seemed like you were implying that that's what it was taking in or something.05:07
elbwhat I was not only implying, but *saying*, is that wall warts often draw *much* more power than they provide05:08
*** Sargun has joined #maemo05:08
GeneralAntillesThe Nokia chargers are usually quite good.05:08
elbas in, a 5w output wall wart might actually draw 10-15w, and often draw multiple watts even when the device is not plugged in05:08

rm_youGeneralAntilles: lol10:38
inzkeesj, .orig should contain the upstream version of the package source10:39
inzkeesj, if there is no upstream version, then you don't need one (and your version number shouldn't have a dash)10:39
rm_youyeah it's mostly the orig and diff stuff that's confusing me...10:39
rm_youthere's only one version... and i have it10:40
rm_youerr, wrote it10:40
keesjinz and if you want to patch an upstream project where would the change go?10:41
inzkeesj, depends10:41
inzkeesj, many maintainers prefer stuff that allows you to have multiple patches10:42
inzkeesj, in that case, the patches go to debian/patches10:42
keesjyes, I would like to use quilt or similar10:42
inzkeesj, Then they should go there10:42
inzkeesj, and the debian/ directory will be in the <package>_<upstream version>-<package version>.diff.gz10:43
inzkeesj, if using quilt, the .diff.gz should only contain the debian/ -directory, nothing else10:43
keesjinz where did you learn this?10:45

rm_youI think I will be able to write some basic GTK frontend stuff for a normal system now, too... which i've always wanted to be able to do11:10
GeneralAntillesAny way to make the menu wider?11:10
GeneralAntillesThe ticks are stacking up on eachother.11:10
rm_youGeneralAntilles: i think so. I can do that if you want11:10
rm_youGeneralAntilles: how much wider, you think?11:11
GeneralAntilles128 steps11:11
GeneralAntilles3px-ish per step?11:11
rm_youright, but i dont know the pixel size of the side buttons11:11
rm_youthat would be huge >_>11:11
GeneralAntilles50-percent screen width seems kinda excessive.11:11
rm_youGeneralAntilles: it doesn't seem to matter much once you get to the kind of scale it already has...11:12
GeneralAntillesYeah11:12
michele_do you really need 128 steps? wouldn't 64 be enough?11:12
rm_you+/-  even up to 5 or so brightness doesnt matter except at the very very bottom of the scale11:12
GeneralAntillesI'd be fine with 64 steps if the +/- still did 1-step increments11:12
GeneralAntillesYeah 0/1-6 is really where I want the resolution11:13
GeneralAntillesBeyond that it doesn't matter.11:13
rm_youi'll tweak it some tomorrow11:13
GeneralAntillesSleeeeep. :P11:13
GeneralAntillesmichele_, the backlight has 128 steps.11:13
rm_youmichele_: that's Nokia thinking right there :P11:14
michele_I meant in the UI11:14
rm_youright...11:14
michele_if the hw allows it, it doesn't mean you have to display it11:14
rm_youit starts with just one concession... "well, they don't actually need all 128, just 64.."11:14
GeneralAntillesYeah, like I said, if I can increment by 1 with the buttons. . . .11:14
rm_youthen "well, 64 is a bit much, maybe just 32..."11:14
LoCusFany news on evince text selection feature?11:14
GeneralAntillesHave each tick represent two levels.11:14
GeneralAntillesAssuming that's doable.11:15

rm_youlol11:15
rm_youGeneralAntilles: it's just pixel-magic11:15
rm_youif i size it such that it is exactly 64 pixels for the slider part, that will just "be".11:15
GeneralAntillesCan you change it to a volume-style slider?11:16
rm_youit may be off by a couple, such that the odd pixel or three is its own one11:16
GeneralAntillesRather than a tick-style slider.11:16
rm_youGeneralAntilles: yes but not really? i think11:16

seb_Thanks.11:36
seb_That's useful. I think there is something wrong with this device, because I have only ever seen a 2GB (or rather 1.7GB) partition.11:36
rm_youinz: ok... so... i wonder if that works11:36
GeneralAntillesNo, there's nothing wrong with it.11:37
LinuxCodeseb_, you will only see the 2GB11:37
LinuxCodeits like that11:37
LinuxCodesomebody had the same issue you had11:38
seb_GeneralAntilles: Oh. Odd.11:38
LinuxCodemeans....11:38
GeneralAntillesThe filesystem is corrupt.11:38
LinuxCodeeither you unmounted and it wasnt finished writing to it11:38
seb_Yes, I think the filesystem is corrupt too. First thing, I think I will reformat the card, see if that fixes it.11:39
GeneralAntillesIt will.11:39
seb_Here is something I don't understand: fstab has a line /dev/mmcblk0p1  /media/mmc1 vfat rw,noauto,nodev,noexec,nosuid,utf8,uid=29999 0 011:39
seb_But df -h shows this: /dev/mmcblk0p1            1.9G      1.5G    421.3M  78% /media/mmc211:40
LinuxCodeso ?11:40
LinuxCodetype mount11:40
seb_Well, usually , the fstab file defines where things will end up being mounted.11:41
seb_Guess that isn't the case. mount shows that mmcblk0p1 is indeed mounted at /media/mmc2.11:41
seb_Also shows it as mounted ro.11:42
rm_youinz: where here does it ACTUALLY put the files in the right directories?11:43
rm_yourules puts them in "debian/tmp/usr/lib/hildon-desktop/" and "debian/tmp/usr/share/applications/hildon-status-bar/"....11:43
rm_youis there some sort of magic involved in debian_helper that translates that to the real paths?11:43

seb_So, let me get this straight - the N810 has a 2 GB replaceable sd-mmc card for user data, and 2GB of internal storage for the operating system?11:57
GeneralAntillesNo11:58
GeneralAntillesThere's 256MB of flash for the OS/user storage/applications, etc.11:58
GeneralAntillesThere's 2GB of flash soldered to the board11:59
GeneralAntillesand then there's an external MiniSD slot for cards up to 2048GB11:59
johnxthe 2GB of flash soldered to the board is addressed as an SD card, thus explaining why it's a block device and where the /dev name came from12:00
GeneralAntillesI don't know why they didn't just keep it as another slot . . .12:00
seb_Ah ha. So I can buy another miniSD card to expant it.12:00
GeneralAntillesWouldn't be that hard to bundle a 2GB card with the maps.12:01

GeneralAntillesIf we're still using SD-format cards by that time, there's no reason it couldn't be patched for sizes over 2TB.12:07

*** Nermal has joined #maemo12:51
GeneralAntillesThe image isn't in a user-accessible part of the flash.12:51
GeneralAntillesYou'd need a JTAG cable to attach to the serial port to flash it.12:51
GeneralAntillesWith custom images as outlined in the thread above, you only get about 5 seconds of the Nokia logo.12:52

lcuk_2hey guys, im at work at the moment but I just read a very interesting report about HTC owners forming a class action suit regarding Poor graphics performance and not utilising the hardware in their devices.13:38
lcuk_2sounds familiar?????13:38
lcuk_2http://www.theinquirer.net/gb/inquirer/news/2008/01/17/htc-owners-arms-graphics13:38
GeneralAntillesclass action?13:39
GeneralAntilles<_<13:39
GeneralAntillesIt's a hardware limitation and we weren't promised anything we didn't get going in.13:39
*** simon_ has joined #maemo13:39
lcuk_2wheres the hardware limitation, looking at the2420 it supports 3d accellerated graphics - where are they ;)  (and yes i know all the tech sides of it now  but is it worth dismissing so easily?13:41
lcuk_2anyway, back to the grind13:41
GeneralAntillesYes.13:42
GeneralAntillesBecause we weren't guaranteed anything going in.13:42
GeneralAntillesNokia mentions nothing of accelerated graphics.13:42
hugolpGeneralAntilles:  so you think Nokia is going to support OpenGL in the N900 (or whatever the name is for the next model)?13:43
GeneralAntillesI don't see any reason why they wouldn't13:43
GeneralAntillesand accelerated graphics are a big selling point.13:43
GeneralAntillesEspecially when they basically get it for free with the chip.13:43
hugolpwell, its not in the 2420 chip13:44
GeneralAntillesThe PowerVR or the support?13:44
*** db48x has quit IRC13:44
hugolpGeneralAntilles:  I though the N800/810 chip doesnt support opengl13:45
GeneralAntillesIt does.13:45
GeneralAntillesSee TI's website13:45
*** blooming has joined #maemo13:45
*** db48x has joined #maemo13:45
GeneralAntillesThe problem lies with the LCD controller13:45
hugolphow?13:45
GeneralAntillesAssuming that there aren't issues with getting the data from the PowerVR to the controller as it's set up now (the data path may just not work that way), the LCD controller wont handle more than 15fps at 800x48013:46
GeneralAntillesThe OMAP2420's built-in controller only handles up to 640x48013:46
GeneralAntillesSo Nokia had to put in a 3rd party controller to handle 800x48013:46
hugolpI see13:46
GeneralAntillesthis 3rd party controller is connected with a very low-bandwidth serial interface.13:46
GeneralAntillesSo no hardware video decoding or accelerated OpenGL for us.13:46
*** Tama^2 has joined #maemo13:47
hugolpIMO this is something Nokia should have as a priority to solve for next device. For the rest of the hardware Im very happy13:48
GeneralAntillesThere's no solving about it with the next device13:48
GeneralAntillesThe OMAP3430 supports up to 1024x768 just fine.13:48
hahloI would like see gsm chip in next device13:49
kulveGeneralAntilles: why do you say the next device is omap3 based?13:49
fatal-GeneralAntilles: of course nokia wants to do 720p device by then :)13:49
GeneralAntillesWhere else could they go?13:49
kulvehahlo: use voip13:49
GeneralAntilleshahlo, let's hope not.13:49
GeneralAntillesThey're not going for Intel13:49
GeneralAntillesand there's nowhere to move on tho OMAP213:49
GeneralAntillesI very much doubt they'd move to another ARM chip13:50
hugolpGeneralAntilles:  that sounds great13:50
GeneralAntillesAnyway, no bottle-necking LCD controller means OpenGL ES 2.0, and hardware video decoding13:50
bloomingif the chip can support 640*480 then cant we use that for "game mode" and have a black border?13:50
GeneralAntilles720p no problem. ;)13:50
*** Vulcanis has quit IRC13:50
GeneralAntillesNo, blooming, because it's not connected to the LCD.13:50
hugolpthe Nokia with 720p and opengl is going to be amazing13:50
hahloI have tiomap ipaQ too with gsm and wlan bt and irda13:50
GeneralAntillesGSM isn't a good fit for the internet tablets.13:51
fatal-GeneralAntilles: I mean, then once again the controller wouldn't suffice...13:51
*** eton has quit IRC13:51
GeneralAntillesOh, OK, but OMAP3 can decode 720p just fine. ;)13:51
hahlo3g mobile is good for internet13:51
hugolpGeneralAntilles:  but that is a design nokia policy, they dont want GSM into the tablets13:51
hugolpits not really a hardware or software problem13:51
GeneralAntillesFWI, 720p usually refers to video resolution, not screen resolution. :P13:51
GeneralAntilleshahlo, that's what I have a cellphone for.13:52
*** lrentz has left #maemo13:52
hugolpGeneralAntilles:  yes, of course13:52
GeneralAntillesIt is a software problem13:52
GeneralAntillesas providing support for a cellular modem is a non-trivial upgrade for maemo.13:52
hugolpbut if the tablet can render 720p without a problem it means no need to transcode from a media server13:52
fatal-GeneralAntilles: yeah, but being able to show 720p without scaling puts some requirements on the screen resolution, too13:52
GeneralAntillesA cellular radio is going to shoot costs up and generally make things a lot more difficult.13:52
*** ssvb has quit IRC13:52
GeneralAntillesRight, hugolp.13:52
*** ssvb has joined #maemo13:53
kulveand they probably still want to sell a cell too to all tablet owners..13:53
fatal-anyhow, putting a 720p capable display on a tablet might be still years away13:53
hahloat least ipaq is cheap with gsm13:53
GeneralAntillesThere are places I want to take my cellphone and places where I want to take my internet tablet.13:53
fatal-so I won't count on that yet :)13:53
kulvefatal-: and if it's the same size physically as the current one, the benefit from it would be pretty minimal13:54
kulve+d13:54
hugolpGeneralAntilles:  correct me if Im wrong, but I suspect that nokia is developing the Maemo platform to see if its a proper platform for the main public, and developing the tablets to test before comiting more13:54
GeneralAntillesfatal, I'd be interested in it to drive a component or VGA out.13:54
GeneralAntillesThe goal is to end up with a platform that's suitable for general consumption.13:54
hugolpGeneralAntilles:  yes, VGA out like in the N95 would be a good idea13:54
hahlolittle birds also sang that there might be gsm in next device, not sure if true13:54
GeneralAntillesDear god let's hope not.13:55
hugolpGeneralAntilles:  and iPhone succes might have open Nokia chairman eyes13:55
GeneralAntillesI'm not against a cellular modem in a maemo device once the platform gets some hardware diversification13:55
GeneralAntillesBut if it comes down to my N800 or an N900 with GSM . . .13:55
GeneralAntillesI wont be buying.13:55

jorgenHmm. Are there alternatives for taking stills other than gstreamer?16:19
fysaso now that we have more people with N810 in their hands..  N800 -> N810 worth it for 1) the keyboard (how much faster than onscreen?  annoying to move hand down/slide for it?) and 2) slightly more pocketable size versus losing storage and near-screen controls?16:19

fysahttp://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/WebHome16:35
fysaMotion is a program that monitors the video signal from one or more cameras and is able to detect if a significant part of the picture has changed; in other words, it can detect motion.16:35
fysabasically, you can look for specific motion sequences and trigger scripts.16:35
fysaI was interested in using it with a webcam on my HTPC to let me control e.g., volume by waving my hand a certain way16:36
fysaor automatically pausing if someone is standing in front of the screen and the lights are at a certain level16:36

alteregoTak, installation no. But it's very different to using sbox 1 and you can't run the desktop in Xephyr or whatever at the moment. So software has to be tested either in sbox 1 or on a device.17:48

wndiirc you should just omit that option21:28

s1dthis is the error i'm getting with ./configure21:29
s1dchecking whether the C compiler works... configure: error: cannot run C compiled programs.21:29
s1dIf you meant to cross compile, use `--host'.21:29
Takomit that option21:29
s1dwhen i build my own code, which is usually just built with a really limited makefile things work fine and arm/elf's are produced no problem, i just can't seem to figure out what to do :)21:29
s1dthat's a log from running with out any options appended to the ./configure call21:30
BlafaselYeah, great. They put a sticker right on top of my display protection.. Argh!21:31
BlafaselAny hints where I can order some good new ones?21:31
pupnikthe display protection is not designed for actual use, afaik21:31
zuhs1d: look at config.log to find out exactly why it didn't work, sounds like you have broken CPU transparency setup21:32
wnd"cannot run C compiled"... I think something like "sb-conf install -c" helped for that. I can't remember exactly what it was, it's been a long time since that happened to me.21:32
Blafaselpupnik: So what#s recommended? Using a good bag only for protection?21:32

wndyatiohi, on my finnish keyboard layout it switches between finnish and danish/norweigian layouts and it's practically useless to me. I wish it switched between finnish and british. anyway if it didn't do what you wanted it to do, there are no other keyboard layout shortcuts I'm aware of.21:34

kulvemichele_: http://garage.maemo.org/projects/kilikali/22:34
trevarthanick. no OOP. is C++ the next best choice?22:34
elband, as you may or may not be aware, OOP is a programming style, not a language feature22:35
michele_trevarthan: vala22:35
lcuk_2trev, all depends on usage and deployment targets22:35

elbpiracy is no easier with Python than with C22:36
elbcopying is copying22:36
michele_kulve: is the project alive? last release was in march...22:36
trevarthanelb: yeah, but product keys are a tiny bit harder to break in C/C++.22:36
michele_ok last commit 5 days ago :)22:37
michele_kulve: I'll look at it22:37
lcuk_2piracy in an open source system...  even with an open application you are protected from people using your BRAND.  let others learn from your code as you are using open code gifted from your forefathers, but protect your identity :)22:37
elbyou can write some critical functionality in C with "product keys" to protect it, and glue it all together with Python22:37
kulvemichele_: see the svn. It's a live22:37
kulvethere's newer releases too, just not on that page. They are in the repository22:37
elbfrankly, though, with a response like "ick. no OOP.", I question the viability of any software your company would produce22:38
lcuk_2"pproduct keys" and other encryption can be hidden perfectly well with open source formulas.  the secret is not the formula, but the inital values22:38
trevarthanelb: why? I like to write code using OOP. What's wrong with that?22:38
*** sbaturzio has joined #maemo22:38

lcuk_2what are you wanting to secure, the data created with your program or the program itself?22:42
trevarthanThe program itself, unfortunately.22:42
lcuk_2if its the program itself take a look around, you are in a linux environment which is built entirely from open source22:42

trevarthanwell, still, I can't think of one desktop application written in python that uses a product key. what's up with that?22:59
Sho_trevarthan: Also the rights to control it, yes. MySQL Inc. owns the copyright in MySQL; contributors sign a copyright assignment agreement.22:59
Sho_trevarthan: I.e. Sun also buys the MySQL copyright, which means they can publish it under any license they desire, i.e. they can also create proprietary offerings with it22:59

trevarthanbut considering that the people installing such systems are rather technical, I don't want them bypassing my product key and installing one license on multiple machines, you know?23:03

lcuk_2trev, with the right idea you can get something better than a program23:07
trevarthanlike what? a website?23:07
lcuk_2you can get a community - let your users create plugins for your controller, get recognition and let your less technical users pay for support - just like mysql/red hat etc do23:07
keesjthere is no easy way , what you need to do is implement parts of your software on the server-side23:08
trevarthanyeah, unfortunately this is third party. I don't own the controller.23:08
lcuk_2the technical user will ALWAYS find a way round it (unless you impliment super hard server side private key encryption and use TCPA modules onboard - like the xbox..)23:09

trevarthanlcuk_2: well, what if I wrote code for an inexpensive ethernet webserver device instead of desktop code for the maemo platform?23:11

lcuk_2trev, there would be but there is no IR port on the n8x023:15
trevarthansorry, better link: http://irreco.garage.maemo.org/23:16
trevarthanno, it uses tcp/ip. You just install lirc on the other pc.23:16
lcuk_2which then uses its IR emitter to change the channel?23:16
trevarthannah. uses the API23:16
* michele_ curses application manager23:17
trevarthanif you need to use an IR transmitter you can, but if you're controlling mythtv or some other lirc aware app you don't need it.23:17
lcuk_2thats where it falls flat on its face, im just using media player classic on windows lol23:17
*** MoRpHeUz has quit IRC23:18

trevarthanlcuk_2: http://winlirc.sourceforge.net/23:18
trevarthanno clue how current that is though.23:19
trevarthanmight not do tcp/ip.23:19
lcuk_2WinLIRC requires a very simple IR detector connected to a serial port.23:19
trevarthanyeah, dunno if that's omission or fact.23:19
lcuk_2doesnt sound very current - i am pleased there are versions around but wasnt gonna go to loads of trouble - for my use i might just use vnc and the 810 keyboard (which would work nicely)23:20

trevarthanis there a compiled alternative to C++ on maemo? I despise C++.23:22

*** Raistl|n has joined #Maemo23:22
michele_it's a C# inspired language that compiles back to C and then to native23:23

*** penguinbait has quit IRC23:23
*** ch4os_ has quit IRC23:23
vegaitrevarthan: seems like a rather silly thing to do when there's C23:23

michele_trevarthan: not much, as it is specifically targeted to gnome/gtk/maemo (gobject stuff)23:23
* Tak using vala right now23:24
trevarthanmichele_: is it limited? i.e. can I do network stuff from it?23:24

lcuk_2then you said hi!23:27
eijk;-) 'k23:27
trevarthanI like mono, but isn't there this huge stigma associated with it and it's microsoft IP roots?23:27
michele_trevarthan: mono's bytecode, CIL, is as much as decompilable as python23:28
juergbitrevarthan: vala is still in development, however people are starting to use it for real apps for some time now and the more people use it, the quicker it will be fully stable23:29
trevarthanmichele_: mmmm.... they use it a lot on win32 though. so maybe it's not that bad?23:29
juergbitrevarthan: 0.1.6 will be released shortly, give it a try if you like23:29
lcuk_2im gonna vanish anyways, back later23:29

trevarthanbye lcuk_2. thanks for the chat.23:30
*** lmoura has quit IRC23:30
trevarthanTama^2: I think vala is mono for people scared of mono because of the IP issues.23:30

Tama^2I see23:31
sp3000yay hyperbole23:31
juergbitrevarthan: no, I don't think that a lot of people are using vala due to that23:31
juergbithe development certainly haven't been started due to that23:31

Tama^2an python23:31
Tama^2*and23:31
trevarthanyeah23:31
juergbimono is a different platform, it duplicates a lot of the gnome platform23:32
juergbivala is c# for the gnome platform, without an additional runtime23:32
michele_vala compiles to native, mono to bytecode23:32
trevarthandoes vala have a modern GC?23:32
*** gopi has quit IRC23:32

trevarthannot that I think python's GC is particularly modern, but it's better than C++.23:33
*** kenne has quit IRC23:33
juergbiit directly uses gobject, so it uses the available reference counting mechanism23:33
juergbiso more or less like integrated smart pointers23:33
trevarthanI hate reference counting. so you get problems with circular object references, right?23:33
*** DaniloCesar has quit IRC23:34

trevarthanjuergbi: except, C, right? :) blech.23:35
juergbitrevarthan: if gobject 3 switches to different kind of garbage collection, vala will, too, so it's just very near to the glib runtime, it uses23:35

BuSyAnToSyes i want it23:36

Tama^2unless you install vista...23:36
