hachi | what 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 time | 00:20 |

*** MagicFab has joined #maemo | 00:20 | |

hachi | the builtin client spins the cpu for line 30 minutes anytime it tries to sync the inbox | 00:42 |
mazzen | cant't confirm that. the only bad thing is: i don't see any folders of my imap account. but the performance is really good | 00:43 |

LinuxCode | are you telling me if you install stuff via dpkg it wont stick it in the package database ? | 02:14 |

LinuxCode | ok | 02:14 |
czr | that wasn't the question I think | 02:14 |

LinuxCode | sorry | 02:14 |
czr | maybe I did, lcuk_2? | 02:14 |
LinuxCode | so lets be clear | 02:14 |
czr | lcuk_2, dpkg is the command line tool to install packages :-). -i = install from .deb file. so something like dpkg -i foobar.deb | 02:14 |
LinuxCode | lcuk_2, if you dpkg -i xxx.deb. it keeps the package name in the database | 02:15 |

lcuk_2 | from the looks of things its not... | 02:16 |

czr | why? | 02:40 |
czr | why would anyone care whether linux users are men or female anyway? | 02:41 |
*** ol_schoola has quit IRC | 02:41 | |
LinuxCode | czr, I do because it means the more equal the percentage of users is...the more mainstream it will be | 02:42 |
pupnik | because women who use linux are cool | 02:42 |
LinuxCode | czr, I also want kids to use it | 02:42 |
czr | LinuxCode, no. the ratio of users using linux versus other systems is the only factor that decides whether it's mainstream or not. | 02:42 |
LinuxCode | kids is probably more important than any adult | 02:42 |
LinuxCode | czr, agreed | 02:42 |
lcuk_2 | i keep scaring my eldest by threating to put linux on his DS | 02:42 |
czr | heh | 02:42 |
LinuxCode | but if theres an equal percentage it means its closer ot being mainstream | 02:42 |
zerojay | I got so bored with the DS that I took mine apart and left it like that. | 02:43 |
czr | LinuxCode, does it? I think you cannot prove this :-) | 02:43 |
LinuxCode | Indeed sir | 02:43 |
LinuxCode | I cannot | 02:43 |
LinuxCode | when I can...I will be happy | 02:43 |
LinuxCode | ;-D | 02:43 |
* czr will be happy too | 02:43 | |
zerojay | There's more women than you think. | 02:43 |
lcuk_2 | mainstream != equal male/female participation | 02:43 |
czr | I'd just like more women to start doing serious computer work so that work environments would be more balanced | 02:43 |
LinuxCode | czr, agreed | 02:44 |
czr | although ours isn't so bad infact. | 02:44 |
LinuxCode | its better for the work environment too | 02:44 |
zerojay | Just 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 |
LinuxCode | tbh University puts people off | 02:44 |
LinuxCode | specially girls in the UK | 02:44 |
LinuxCode | ;-| | 02:44 |
czr | zerojay, indeed | 02:44 |
czr | zerojay, and it's not even linux-related | 02:44 |
czr | LinuxCode, I blame the parents | 02:45 |
czr | I always blame the parents | 02:45 |
czr | when I started my polytech thingy, there was 32 of us. 2 women. | 02:46 |
czr | and that's more or less the ratio that the program had for most years | 02:46 |
zerojay | And I bet those two were constantly hit on. | 02:46 |
czr | zerojay, well. only one actually. | 02:46 |
LinuxCode | czr, tbh i think that ratio still applies | 02:46 |
zerojay | The other one was hitting on that one too then. :) | 02:46 |
LinuxCode | ;-| | 02:46 |
czr | zerojay, I doubt it :-) | 02:47 |
lcuk_2 | one of the women might have been called derek if she had enrolled the year before | 02:47 |

zerojay | No. | 02:53 |
zerojay | But it's my fault. | 02:54 |
zerojay | My code appeared to work. | 02:54 |
lcuk_2 | no gen, but the latest update completely killed practically every book i was reading | 02:54 |
zerojay | But my credit card's maxed out... so... yeah. | 02:54 |
GeneralAntilles | Hehe | 02:54 |
zerojay | I don't think Nokia accepts anything else except a credit card that has a billing address that matches the shipping address. So. | 02:54 |

benno2__ | hi, on OS 2006 I had connectivity_preload.sh , how can I force to start the connection OS 2008 at boot ? | 02:58 |
zerojay | It does it automatically. | 02:58 |
zerojay | If you have it set to connect automatically. | 02:58 |
benno2__ | zerojay: thanks, where can I set the connection autostart in OS2008 ? | 02:59 |
zerojay | It's not really connect on boot. | 02:59 |
zerojay | But it will try to connect once it boots up. | 02:59 |
lcuk_2 | benno, click the connection notification icon and click "connectivity settings" | 02:59 |
zerojay | Yep. | 03:00 |
benno2__ | thanks I already have connect automatically WLAN connections | 03:00 |
benno2__ | but it does not work | 03:00 |
zerojay | It does. | 03:01 |
lcuk_2 | whats search interval | 03:01 |
lcuk_2 | is 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 10min | 03:01 |
zerojay | Yeah, if you have it set to never, it won't connect. | 03:01 |
zerojay | Well, 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 immediately | 03:02 |
zerojay | You'll have to work it out yourself then. | 03:02 |
j0tt | anyone managed to build a glx enabled xserver for os2008 (mesa)? | 03:03 |
lcuk_2 | does an application have to inform osso if it wants internet or should accessing an address attempt to connect | 03:03 |
zerojay | j0tt: 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 missing | 03:03 |
j0tt | zerojay: yes! :) | 03:03 |
zerojay | benno2__: Maybe a dbus call will do it. | 03:04 |
zerojay | j0tt: You like slideshows? | 03:04 |
j0tt | zerojay: i don't want to play quake 3, but do some mathematical visualizations. | 03:04 |
zerojay | j0tt: Move along. | 03:05 |
zerojay | j0tt: This isn't the hardware you're looking for. *jedi hand wave* | 03:05 |
j0tt | so, yes low framerates are acceptable | 03:05 |
benno2__ | zerojay: thanks. is this dbus stuff documented ? | 03:05 |
zerojay | benno2__: Look in the SDK and dev materials. | 03:06 |
benno2__ | thanks | 03:06 |
zerojay | j0tt: What's your idea of "low"? | 03:06 |
j0tt | 0.25-5 fps | 03:06 |
zerojay | You'd be lucky if you got even that much. | 03:06 |
dragorn | you'd probably be much better off with a software gl lib | 03:06 |
dragorn | mesa in sw mode or something should be completely plausible | 03:07 |
j0tt | a glx enabled xserver without hw accelration is mesa sw mode :) | 03:07 |
czr | well, you can also use mesa-sw directly | 03:07 |
czr | not bothering the X server at all | 03:07 |
j0tt | i could indeed.. | 03:08 |
czr | probably easier in your case | 03:08 |
dragorn | j0tt: 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 sw | 03:08 |
j0tt | but ITs are there to "bother" :) | 03:08 |
dragorn | but that may be an artifact of the hw drivers of whatever kind I was dealing with | 03:08 |

LinuxCode | Xamusk, linux user ? | 04:20 |
Xamusk | LinuxCode, yes | 04:21 |
pupnik | Xamusk, depends entirely on your use case. For me as a linux guy, the tablets have no competitors. | 04:21 |
LinuxCode | Id second that | 04:21 |
LinuxCode | however, id buy a N810 | 04:21 |
LinuxCode | not a N800 | 04:21 |
Xamusk | yet, I still need a calendar with alarm or something like that | 04:21 |
LinuxCode | Xamusk, gpe | 04:21 |
LinuxCode | its in the maemo test repo | 04:21 |
Xamusk | N810 is more expensife than I can afford | 04:21 |
[1]a-l-p-h-a | I'm thinking a ipod touch when they have 32gigs. | 04:21 |
LinuxCode | also syncable with evolution | 04:22 |
LinuxCode | Xamusk, save a bit longer | 04:22 |
LinuxCode | its worth it | 04:22 |
LinuxCode | the keyboard is worth gold | 04:22 |
Xamusk | LinuxCode, for a GPS, a keyboard an no SD slot? | 04:22 |
pupnik | If i were buying, I'd get a n800 with bluetooth keyboard. | 04:22 |
LinuxCode | + its smaller | 04:22 |
LinuxCode | it has got one SD slot | 04:22 |
LinuxCode | micro-sd | 04:23 |
GeneralAntilles | N810 is crappy | 04:23 |
LinuxCode | LIES | 04:23 |
GeneralAntilles | N800 is cheaper and better. :P | 04:23 |
LinuxCode | lol | 04:23 |
Tama^2 | I agree the N800 is better | 04:23 |
LinuxCode | ok so who of you lot owns both ? | 04:23 |
LinuxCode | lol | 04:23 |
Xamusk | micro-sd is not SD | 04:23 |
LinuxCode | ;-p | 04:23 |
LinuxCode | Xamusk, I know... | 04:23 |
LinuxCode | so ? | 04:23 |
LinuxCode | Xamusk, buy a N800 then | 04:24 |
LinuxCode | better than ipaq any day | 04:24 |
GeneralAntilles | N810 might be better if there were actually any price competition | 04:24 |
Xamusk | so, it would be my only device for wich I'd have to buy micro-sd and my sd cards would be useless | 04:24 |
LinuxCode | so ? | 04:24 |
GeneralAntilles | but as it is, you can get two N800s for the price of an N810. | 04:24 |
Xamusk | indeed | 04:25 |
LinuxCode | GeneralAntilles, onlybecause they are getting rid of the old model | 04:25 |
ryoohki | what is the highest capacity of a micro-sd? 2gb? do they have 32gb sd cards yet? | 04:25 |
GeneralAntilles | Doesn't matter | 04:25 |

LinuxCode | I dont need to drag 1TB os music around with me | 04:28 |
LinuxCode | of | 04:28 |
GeneralAntilles | How can you not see what you would use more than 8GB of storage for? | 04:28 |
Xamusk | so, as the cost of the ipaq is nearer to the n800, I'm considering those two | 04:28 |
GeneralAntilles | WinMob sucks, Xamusk. | 04:28 |
ryoohki | does the n810 have twice the ram as the n800? a faster cpu? the same video camera? | 04:28 |

LinuxCode | but I also have them + one other | 04:30 |
LinuxCode | but thats a disc module im sure | 04:30 |
Xamusk | but anyway, I need to know how the battery goes for book reading | 04:30 |
lcuk_2 | i have vnc for when my mobile library does not cope | 04:30 |
GeneralAntilles | Xamusk, like, forever. | 04:30 |
LinuxCode | lcuk_2, rsync | 04:30 |
Xamusk | and I must have a good calendar with alarm | 04:30 |
LinuxCode | ;-D | 04:30 |
LinuxCode | <3 rsync | 04:30 |
lcuk_2 | xam, i read every night | 04:30 |
GeneralAntilles | Just stick to regular charging cycles | 04:30 |
GeneralAntilles | You'd probably get 10 hours out of it reading an ebook at low brightness | 04:31 |
LinuxCode | Xamusk, the battery is awesome | 04:31 |
Xamusk | not that I really need to sync the calendar to my desktop, but I must be able to write to it fast and it must have an alarm | 04:31 |
* lcuk_2 has had niggles with his battery | 04:31 | |

lcuk_2 | but google's | 04:31 |
LinuxCode | Xamusk, N810 didnt have a calendar | 04:31 |
GeneralAntilles | ryoohki, sounds like a good way to ruin an HD | 04:31 |

Xamusk | GPE used to be a whole OS... do I have to overwrite nokia's os? | 04:32 |
GeneralAntilles | ryoohki, you'd have to do something like that with solid-state. | 04:33 |

pupnik | just move the mouse down off screen and your mouse/keyboard controls the tablet | 04:38 |
dospod | any devs in here? | 04:38 |
GeneralAntilles | dospod, the better strategy is to just ask your question. :P | 04:38 |
LinuxCode | GeneralAntilles, that was his question | 04:38 |
dospod | lol | 04:38 |
LinuxCode | hes used his ratio for today | 04:38 |
LinuxCode | ;-p | 04:38 |
LinuxCode | NEXT! | 04:38 |
LinuxCode | lol | 04:39 |
LinuxCode | ;-D | 04:39 |
dospod | ok well i saw some kid playing a tycoon game on his ipod touch | 04:39 |
dospod | and it looked stable | 04:39 |
dospod | so i looked up ipod touch homebrew | 04:39 |
dospod | and I found the site of the game he wa splaying | 04:39 |
dospod | and I was wondering why nobody else has ported it to maemo | 04:39 |
dospod | http://zodttd.com/wp/?p=21 homebrew page | 04:39 |
GeneralAntilles | Because porting games takes time and energy? | 04:39 |
dospod | game was running smooth | 04:39 |
dospod | ipod touch has been out less time than the n800 | 04:39 |
GeneralAntilles | OpenTTD has been ported. | 04:40 |
dospod | seriously? | 04:40 |
GeneralAntilles | It was running on the 770. | 04:40 |
dospod | ok | 04:40 |
* lcuk_2 waits for the inevitable, but framerate sucks | 04:40 | |
dospod | but uhm | 04:40 |
GeneralAntilles | There's a thread on ITT. | 04:40 |
dospod | what about os 2008 or os 2007 | 04:40 |
GeneralAntilles | I haven't bothered to try it since the 770. | 04:40 |
GeneralAntilles | Ran fine on there. | 04:40 |
lcuk_2 | slower gfx on 8x0 tho isnt it | 04:40 |
GeneralAntilles | dospod, try freeciv if you're jonesing. | 04:41 |
pupnik | only for high framerate games, not strategy/sims | 04:41 |
GeneralAntilles | lcuk_2, the N8x0 can run Quake, the 770 can't. ;) | 04:41 |
LinuxCode | also doom | 04:41 |
dospod | is freeciv stable? | 04:41 |
pupnik | lcuk_2: i run quake on 770 | 04:41 |
GeneralAntilles | Well, not well, anyway. | 04:41 |
LinuxCode | I played doom | 04:41 |
GeneralAntilles | Works fine over here, dospod. | 04:42 |
LinuxCode | bit odd to play but it works | 04:42 |
GeneralAntilles | There's a thread on ITT. | 04:42 |
LinuxCode | ;-D | 04:42 |
lcuk_2 | doom runs well on 810 | 04:42 |
LinuxCode | freeciv ? | 04:42 |
dospod | are you on os 2008? | 04:42 |
GeneralAntilles | The controls for Quake on the N8x0 are really good. | 04:42 |
LinuxCode | ;-D | 04:42 |
GeneralAntilles | Mouse-look with the touchscreen | 04:42 |
GeneralAntilles | movement with the d-pad | 04:42 |
GeneralAntilles | Better than a damn DS | 04:42 |
*** pvanhoof has quit IRC | 04:43 | |
Xamusk | by the way, that's another thing to consider: the iPaq has a faster processor than the N8x0 | 04:43 |
pupnik | xscale? | 04:43 |
lcuk_2 | ipaq is using *sob* 3d hardware (xscale+powervr) as well i gather... | 04:44 |
pupnik | yes but those xscales are an older ARM core than the OMAP2420's | 04:44 |
GeneralAntilles | Xamusk, WinMob is the worst. | 04:44 |
Xamusk | New/ Fast Marvell PXA310 Processor at 624MHz | 04:44 |
LinuxCode | you cant directly compare Lhz to Mhz | 04:45 |
GeneralAntilles | ^ | 04:45 |
Xamusk | it's triple the clock, but clock is never a good comparison between different processors | 04:45 |
GeneralAntilles | Triple? | 04:45 |
GeneralAntilles | Where'd you get that number? | 04:46 |
elb | triple, *1.3, whatever ;-) | 04:46 |
Xamusk | ops | 04:46 |
Xamusk | double | 04:46 |
LinuxCode | lol | 04:46 |
LinuxCode | errm | 04:46 |
elb | double, 1.3x, whatever | 04:46 |
* LinuxCode sends you all back to Maths for beginners | 04:46 | |
Xamusk | damn | 04:46 |
GeneralAntilles | 400 x 2 is 800MHz | 04:46 |
Xamusk | x2? | 04:46 |
LinuxCode | x2 = double | 04:47 |
GeneralAntilles | "double" | 04:47 |
LinuxCode | lol | 04:47 |
lcuk_2 | lol @ slipped and typed a triple instead of a double ;) | 04:47 |
Xamusk | 330 MHz TI OMAP 2420 | 04:47 |
LinuxCode | lcuk_2, haha | 04:47 |
elb | oh, the n810 is only 400? | 04:47 |
GeneralAntilles | Xamusk, it's 400MHz | 04:47 |
elb | I thought it was 4-something | 04:47 |
Xamusk | I don't remember from where I was thinking about 200Mhz | 04:47 |
jott | ceil(624/400); ;-) | 04:47 |
GeneralAntilles | They have the same damn CPU. | 04:47 |
LinuxCode | elb, 401Mhz | 04:47 |
GeneralAntilles | Xamusk, 770 | 04:47 |
LinuxCode | I made it faster just for you | 04:47 |
LinuxCode | lol | 04:47 |
LinuxCode | j/k | 04:47 |
Xamusk | the 800 is 330Mhz | 04:47 |
GeneralAntilles | The 800 is 400MHz | 04:47 |
LinuxCode | wrong | 04:47 |
elb | Xamusk: no, it's the same as the n810 | 04:47 |
GeneralAntilles | You want to argue with me about this? :P | 04:47 |
LinuxCode | 400 | 04:47 |
dospod | i thought the 800 is 400mhz | 04:47 |
Xamusk | then someone must change the wikipedia article | 04:48 |
LinuxCode | dospod, correct | 04:48 |
lcuk_2 | if an 800 is 400 then why are there wookies on endor? | 04:48 |
elb | huh, wikipedia is wrong, shock of SHOCKS | 04:48 |
pupnik | the n800 shipped at 330mhz | 04:48 |
pupnik | the OS2008 upgrade unlocks 400mhz clock | 04:48 |
*** penguinbait has joined #maemo | 04:48 | |
elb | software clocking does throw a real wrench into getting tech specs right | 04:48 |
elb | but still ... wikipedia | 04:48 |
penguinbait | anyone have uinput.ko handy? | 04:49 |
dospod | what pupnik said is what i heard | 04:49 |
GeneralAntilles | Well, allows it to scale between 165MHz and 400MHz | 04:49 |
penguinbait | for 2008os | 04:49 |
dospod | nokia did what sony did with the psp | 04:49 |
*** Pio has joined #maemo | 04:49 | |
dospod | ship it with 233 clock speed but allowed it to go full speed if needed to at 333mhz | 04:49 |
penguinbait | no it didnt | 04:49 |
lcuk_2 | remember, the 330 to 400 mhz jump LOWERED the speed of the dsp | 04:49 |
pupnik | right | 04:49 |
lcuk_2 | its swings and roundabouts | 04:49 |
dospod | as in they both underclocked cpu on purpose | 04:49 |
pupnik | it's part of OMAP's dynamic clocking / power handling capability | 04:50 |
Xamusk | Processor: OMAP2420 microprocessor at 330 MHz. Underclocked, runs at the native 400 Mhz with the latest (2008) fimware upgrade.(DSP speed will be halved) | 04:50 |
lcuk_2 | they must have decided that the dsp needed more grunt on os2007, but come os2008 and the 810 the CPU speed was more important whilst the DSP was underused | 04:51 |
pupnik | i love these old bad movies on publicdomaintorrents.com | 04:51 |
GeneralAntilles | lcuk_2, no. | 04:51 |
*** becksbier has quit IRC | 04:51 | |
*** penguinbait has left #maemo | 04:51 | |
lcuk_2 | go on then | 04:51 |
GeneralAntilles | It scales between 165MHz to 400MHz | 04:51 |
GeneralAntilles | For the CPU | 04:51 |
GeneralAntilles | DSP scales with it | 04:51 |
Xamusk | GeneralAntilles, is that configurable? | 04:51 |
GeneralAntilles | For highly-intensive DSP tasks, the CPU will run at 330MHz | 04:52 |
GeneralAntilles | allowing the DSP to run at full speed. | 04:52 |
elb | it's all about power management | 04:52 |
Xamusk | GeneralAntilles, I was thinking about underclocking everything to improve battery life | 04:52 |
GeneralAntilles | Xamusk, it's not something you need to worry about. | 04:52 |
GeneralAntilles | It's called "race to idle" Xamusk. | 04:52 |
lcuk_2 | yer, 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 |
GeneralAntilles | The N8x0 knows what it's doing. | 04:52 |
elb | Xamusk: for the most part, you don't want to do that, because of the way processors consume power | 04:52 |
Xamusk | because when I had my palm m100 I could get one week without changing batteries and I have to recharge my TX after one day | 04:53 |
elb | Xamusk: you want to cut your processor speed to a level that balances speed transitions with making clock speed available for tasks which need it | 04:53 |
GeneralAntilles | A 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 |
GeneralAntilles | M100 didn't have a backlight . . . | 04:54 |
elb | on the ARM, clock transitions are probably less painful than on more complicated processors, but still | 04:54 |
lcuk_2 | right, im goin snoozin, nite | 04:54 |
LinuxCode | nn mate | 04:54 |
elb | Xamusk: and with the Palm, keep in mind that they are *aggressively* shut down, regardless of clock speed | 04:55 |
elb | the display is most of their power drain under normal operating conditions | 04:55 |
Xamusk | :) | 04:55 |
elb | when you're sitting there looking at your schedule or whatever, the processor could be completely asleep and powered down | 04:55 |
ryoohki | the largest minisd i could find was 8gb. anyone hear of any larger than 8gb? are they making 32gb sdhc cards yet? | 04:55 |
Xamusk | indeed, but the n800 does have a backlight, and that's why I'm concerned with battery life | 04:55 |
GeneralAntilles | I get 4-5 hours heavy use | 04:56 |
GeneralAntilles | idles for about 5 days with wifi | 04:56 |
*** jsmith is now known as jsmith-away | 04:56 | |
GeneralAntilles | 6-10 hours light use | 04:56 |
GeneralAntilles | http://maemo.org/news/announcements/view/1184097560.html | 04:56 |
zerojay | I've never gotten 4-5 hours of heavy use. | 04:56 |
zerojay | Maybe 2-3 if i'm lucky. | 04:57 |
elb | GeneralAntilles: would "light use" include, for example, simply reading a document? | 04:57 |
Xamusk | I want a lot of time on, without wifi, basically to read | 04:57 |
GeneralAntilles | Yes. | 04:57 |
elb | fantastic | 04:57 |
GeneralAntilles | 10 hours | 04:57 |
GeneralAntilles | Low backlight, reading. | 04:58 |
elb | I intend to do a lot of that | 04:58 |
*** dolske_ has quit IRC | 04:58 | |
elb | and I hope to be able to take advantage of the transflective display | 04:58 |
elb | to cut the backlight entirely | 04:58 |
*** dolske has joined #maemo | 04:58 | |
elb | assuming I can ever actually order my device ;-) | 04:58 |
GeneralAntilles | Eh, I prefer backlight level 1 without any other lights on. | 04:58 |
[1]a-l-p-h-a | LinuxCode, power plugged in causes no sound. | 04:59 |
elb | well, we'll see what I prefer when the device actually arrives | 04:59 |
Xamusk | by the way, I've read that n8x0 won't charge by the usb cable | 04:59 |
Xamusk | is this real? | 04:59 |
elb | like I said, I'm *hoping* to be happy with reflected light | 04:59 |
GeneralAntilles | I don't think the transflective is gonna cut it without sun-level lighting. | 04:59 |
GeneralAntilles | Xamusk, yes. | 04:59 |
Xamusk | damn | 04:59 |
GeneralAntilles | For a variety of reasons | 05:00 |
Xamusk | I guess 5v isn't enough then | 05:00 |
GeneralAntilles | I'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 |
GeneralAntilles | 5v is | 05:01 |
GeneralAntilles | But voltage isn't the only factor. :) | 05:01 |
*** seraph1 has quit IRC | 05:01 | |
jott | elb: under normal conditions you're out of luck reading without backlight.. (atleast if you want to read comfortable) | 05:01 |
pupnik | Someone could make an aftermarket rear case panel with a bulge in it, and a custom battery, i suppose | 05:02 |
pupnik | GeneralAntilles: do you know if there's an external charger for the BP-4L battery? | 05:03 |
GeneralAntilles | Hehe | 05:03 |
ryoohki | n8x0 won't charge by the usb cable?! | 05:03 |
GeneralAntilles | My external chargers are my two 770s. :P | 05:03 |
*** matt_c has quit IRC | 05:03 | |
LinuxCode | haha that was mean of me | 05:03 |
LinuxCode | I have bought these whiskas Temptations | 05:04 |
GeneralAntilles | ryoohki, just buy yourself a USB-to-barrel plug adaptor for $12 | 05:04 |
LinuxCode | so i took one and let the cat sniff it and he was on my lap | 05:04 |
LinuxCode | then i put it in the bown on the floor | 05:04 |
LinuxCode | and he was looking at it | 05:04 |
LinuxCode | and going hmmm | 05:04 |
ryoohki | GeneralAntilles: yeah, i've seen those but usb is less than 500ma | 05:04 |
LinuxCode | what to do... | 05:04 |
LinuxCode | so he got up just to eat the one | 05:04 |
GeneralAntilles | It'll charge | 05:04 |
GeneralAntilles | just much more slowly than the wallwart | 05:04 |
LinuxCode | wallwart ? | 05:05 |
LinuxCode | standard charger ? | 05:05 |
GeneralAntilles | the car charger is about 380mA | 05:05 |
elb | I wonder how the efficiency compares | 05:05 |
elb | wallwarts are notorious for leaking energy ... I wonder if a laptop powering its USB port is more or less efficient ;-) | 05:05 |
GeneralAntilles | Uh, output is 860mA. | 05:05 |
GeneralAntilles | and a laptop is about the least efficient DC transformer ever created. | 05:06 |
elb | what does "Uh, output is 860mA" mean? | 05:06 |
elb | and yes -- but my laptop is already on and running | 05:06 |
elb | if it weren't being used, that would be a reasonable conclusion, but it is | 05:06 |
GeneralAntilles | The wallwart outputs 860mA, it seemed like you were implying that that's what it was taking in or something. | 05:07 |
elb | what I was not only implying, but *saying*, is that wall warts often draw *much* more power than they provide | 05:08 |
*** Sargun has joined #maemo | 05:08 | |
GeneralAntilles | The Nokia chargers are usually quite good. | 05:08 |
elb | as in, a 5w output wall wart might actually draw 10-15w, and often draw multiple watts even when the device is not plugged in | 05:08 |
*** petergunn has joined #maemo | 05:08 | |
GeneralAntilles | Mine barely get warm to the touch while charging. | 05:08 |
elb | that's a good sign | 05:09 |
GeneralAntilles | Nokia chargers also switch off when not in use. | 05:09 |
dospod | is kde worth putting on my n800 | 05:09 |
GeneralAntilles | I'd set up a dual-boot. | 05:09 |
GeneralAntilles | Personally, I don't think it's particularly well suited for the device. | 05:09 |
GeneralAntilles | Your mileage may vary. | 05:09 |
dospod | idk | 05:09 |
dospod | i just dont like like of apps it seems for maemo | 05:09 |
dospod | like lack * | 05:10 |
GeneralAntilles | Quantity != Quality | 05:11 |
petergunn | plenty kde apps but I never seem to need any of them | 05:11 |
petergunn | aparte from Kolf and that daoesnt work great with the touchscreen | 05:11 |
dospod | the quality of the emulators on the n800 aint pretty either lol | 05:11 |
GeneralAntilles | It's not a gaming machine. | 05:12 |
Xamusk | well, I want to use python :D | 05:12 |
GeneralAntilles | You want emu, shoulda gotten a PSP. | 05:12 |
GeneralAntilles | Xamusk, Python and Ruby are both well supported. | 05:12 |
petergunn | im getting more and more convinced that the n800's main use if for Linux geeks to spend all their time configuring and reconfiguring it | 05:12 |
GeneralAntilles | and the main use for normal users is to use it. Your point? | 05:13 |
petergunn | Im still not convinced what its primary purpose is | 05:13 |
dospod | I relize thats not its main attention but the fact I cant play pole position in xmaeme is sad lol | 05:13 |
GeneralAntilles | Nokia tells you on the box | 05:14 |
GeneralAntilles | Browse the internet, check e-mail, play media. | 05:14 |
dospod | and lack of p2p is sadening | 05:14 |
GeneralAntilles | SIP, Skype | 05:14 |
GeneralAntilles | IM | 05:14 |
Xamusk | GeneralAntilles, is it easy to program to maemo's UI? | 05:14 |
GeneralAntilles | It's GTK | 05:14 |
Xamusk | it doesn't look like gtk | 05:14 |
GeneralAntilles | Bittorrent? Both ctorrent and transmission are available. | 05:15 |
GeneralAntilles | Personally, p2p is kinda stupid on a device like this. | 05:15 |
GeneralAntilles | (although it would make an interesting low-power bittorrent client) | 05:15 |
dospod | I got bittorent im thinking more of gtk gnuella and a hildonized version or something | 05:15 |
GeneralAntilles | Matchbox/Hildon | 05:15 |
GeneralAntilles | but it's basically GTK | 05:16 |
LinuxCode | petergunn, the reason why linux "geeks" use this thing is because we can compile what we want..how we want it ...for this thing | 05:16 |
LinuxCode | I love that | 05:16 |
LinuxCode | better than fighting with mr jobs about locking everything down | 05:17 |
Xamusk | it doesn't look like it can load glade... but it could just be a very good theme | 05:17 |
LinuxCode | and acting like MS did and does | 05:17 |
GeneralAntilles | petergunn, do you own one? | 05:17 |
LinuxCode | and its a great device.. | 05:17 |

dospod | I guess i thought hey its linux it should be swarming with apps for everything | 05:21 |
LinuxCode | dospod, it kind of is | 05:21 |
GeneralAntilles | Seriously. | 05:21 |
LinuxCode | however... | 05:21 |
LinuxCode | actually no however | 05:22 |
GeneralAntilles | dospod, if you want something | 05:22 |
GeneralAntilles | port it | 05:22 |
GeneralAntilles | That's the beauty of open source | 05:22 |
dospod | I do not code | 05:22 |
petergunn | You just have to configure/reconfigure/install/patch/recompile/fix/port/etc | 05:22 |
GeneralAntilles | you're not beholded to anybody | 05:22 |

infobot | GeneralAntilles meant: you're not beholden to anybody | 05:22 |
GeneralAntilles | 99% of console stuff is just a recompile away | 05:23 |
GeneralAntilles | The GUI stuff is pretty straight forward, too. | 05:23 |
dospod | oh hey is phonelink finally working on os 2008 | 05:23 |
GeneralAntilles | dospod, it's the golden opportunity to learn. | 05:23 |
dospod | i saw gnokii is instalable finally | 05:23 |

LinuxCode | havent tested | 05:23 |
LinuxCode | my P800 is a tad iffy | 05:23 |
LinuxCode | yes thats a P | 05:24 |
LinuxCode | not a N | 05:24 |

Xamusk | I meant for the n810 | 05:34 |
LinuxCode | open maps | 05:34 |
GeneralAntilles | The "Map" maps are downloaded by the application | 05:34 |
LinuxCode | download them | 05:34 |
Xamusk | find as download | 05:34 |
LinuxCode | free to download | 05:35 |
Xamusk | are they only US maps? | 05:35 |
GeneralAntilles | maemo mapper uses anything from Open Street to Google and Virtual Earth | 05:35 |
LinuxCode | no | 05:35 |
LinuxCode | worldwide | 05:35 |
GeneralAntilles | Upstage! | 05:35 |
GeneralAntilles | Haha | 05:35 |
GeneralAntilles | My friend's younger brother has that phone | 05:35 |
GeneralAntilles | it's such a joke. | 05:35 |
dospod | it is | 05:35 |
dospod | indeed | 05:35 |
dospod | was cool for like 3 weeks | 05:35 |
GeneralAntilles | Got an SGH-A717 that I love. | 05:35 |
LinuxCode | maemo mapper sounds cool | 05:35 |
*** monkeyiq has joined #maemo | 05:35 | |
* LinuxCode is intruiged | 05:36 | |
* LinuxCode installs | 05:36 | |
dospod | then everyone bought it and then it got rather annoying with the thouch sensative buttons on the back side | 05:36 |

GeneralAntilles | Yes. | 05:38 |
GeneralAntilles | Not great for turn-by-turn | 05:38 |
LinuxCode | GeneralAntilles, where do i get the google maps from ? | 05:38 |
GeneralAntilles | http://lonelyfridge.com/project_files/redline/z06/corvette_z06_1.1beta.zip | 05:40 |

*** petergunn has left #maemo | 05:40 | |
*** dick-richardson has joined #maemo | 05:40 | |
GeneralAntilles | See my posts on that page. | 05:40 |
GeneralAntilles | That's for 1.x, but it still applies. | 05:41 |
GeneralAntilles | Covers both LinuxCode's and Xamusk's questions. | 05:41 |
GeneralAntilles | Also: check the app's built-in help (what, built-in help?!) | 05:42 |
GeneralAntilles | It's really, really good. | 05:42 |
dick-richardson | so, i'm working on a script that I would call remotely if my n810 is stolen. the best way i can think of to render the device useless is 'dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/mtdblock4'...anyone else have a different method they're using? | 05:42 |
dick-richardson | I don't suppose truecrypt has been ported...? | 05:43 |
Tama^2 | isn't it better to let it work and be able to trace it? | 05:44 |
GeneralAntilles | Yeah | 05:44 |
GeneralAntilles | You need three things: a phone-home with its current IP on every new connection, a GPS location, and a picture | 05:44 |
Tama^2 | lol | 05:44 |
Tama^2 | so you know who to curse | 05:45 |
dick-richardson | the ip is easy, I'm already doing that...and it vpn's into my home network (hence my ability to run scripts remotely) | 05:45 |
GeneralAntilles | and where to send the cops. | 05:45 |
Tama^2 | the picture is of utmost importance | 05:45 |
GeneralAntilles | GPS makes it really easy. | 05:45 |
GeneralAntilles | Also: capture all of their outgoing data so you can get their CC info and such. :P | 05:46 |
LinuxCode | bahah | 05:46 |
Tama^2 | stealing a device that has both a serial number and a gps is idiotic | 05:46 |
LinuxCode | that would make a great app! | 05:46 |
GeneralAntilles | As a final step, make sure to package it all up and distribute it. ;) | 05:46 |
LinuxCode | I want that app! | 05:46 |
Zetx | chances are they'd be using stolen cc's too :\ | 05:46 |
LinuxCode | if you make one I will donate | 05:46 |
GeneralAntilles | Rendering it useless is a bad plan | 05:46 |
LinuxCode | yeh trace it | 05:46 |
GeneralAntilles | as it makes it much harder to find | 05:46 |
LinuxCode | get the fucking bastid | 05:46 |
Zetx | lol I actually suggested this for the dev discount thing, but I don't think nokia was too thrilled with the idea of 'supporting' a big brother program, i dunno | 05:46 |
LinuxCode | and get him donw for it | 05:46 |
LinuxCode | done* | 05:47 |
Zetx | Yeah, you'd want to device to be 'usable' to the pepole for as long as possible to recover it | 05:47 |
LinuxCode | nsty surprise when the door is knocked down | 05:47 |
dick-richardson | how do you access the gps from the command line? | 05:47 |
LinuxCode | and he doesnt know shit | 05:47 |
LinuxCode | how he was found out | 05:47 |
GeneralAntilles | Set it up with SIP, have it dial the police, play a recording with the current lat/long, and tell them to expect an e-mail with a picture. | 05:47 |
LinuxCode | coppers will be pleased too | 05:47 |
GeneralAntilles | gpsd, dick-richardson. | 05:47 |
Zetx | XD | 05:47 |
LinuxCode | GeneralAntilles, bahah | 05:47 |
GeneralAntilles | flite | 05:47 |
GeneralAntilles | So it'll read off the coordinates | 05:48 |
LinuxCode | I have been stolen | 05:48 |
dick-richardson | GeneralAntilles: nice :D | 05:48 |
LinuxCode | I am at : 31.1 degrees north | 05:48 |
LinuxCode | -36 degrees south | 05:48 |
LinuxCode | ehh east | 05:48 |
GeneralAntilles | Oh, better yet, have it dial 911 and say there's an armed robbery in progress at its location. | 05:48 |
LinuxCode | please retrieve me now | 05:48 |
LinuxCode | bahah | 05:48 |
Tama^2 | lol | 05:48 |
Tama^2 | hostage situation is even better | 05:48 |
LinuxCode | this is a automated message: This nuclear material container was stolen | 05:48 |
Zetx | does SIP work with emergency calls? :p | 05:49 |
LinuxCode | its current position is...blah blah | 05:49 |
LinuxCode | the container contains plutonium | 05:49 |
GeneralAntilles | Then have it connect to any Windows PCs in the house have it download gigs and gigs of movies, music and child porn. | 05:49 |
LinuxCode | that would get them coppers going | 05:49 |
LinuxCode | GeneralAntilles, hahah | 05:49 |
LinuxCode | evil! | 05:49 |
LinuxCode | that might backfire though | 05:49 |
LinuxCode | although excellent idea.. | 05:50 |
GeneralAntilles | You need it in virus form. | 05:50 |
LinuxCode | get the fucker done for anything one can think of | 05:50 |
LinuxCode | make him go to prison for 100 million years | 05:50 |
GeneralAntilles | Then have it activate a servo motor which shorts the battery and burns down his house. | 05:50 |
LinuxCode | one guy in uni tried to steal my ipod | 05:50 |
LinuxCode | I worked with him for 4 months! | 05:50 |
GeneralAntilles | Ha | 05:50 |
LinuxCode | and still had to work with him for 2-3 | 05:50 |
GeneralAntilles | Awesome. | 05:51 |
LinuxCode | what a bastard | 05:51 |
GeneralAntilles | awkward | 05:51 |
Zetx | thieves are just lowly :| | 05:51 |
LinuxCode | I dont take shit of people though | 05:51 |
LinuxCode | I searched his bag | 05:51 |
LinuxCode | found my ink drenched cable | 05:51 |
LinuxCode | which does not come with ipod itself | 05:51 |
LinuxCode | so he had to give it back | 05:51 |

LinuxCode | quite applivable in my case mate | 05:53 |
LinuxCode | rofl | 05:53 |
dick-richardson | I had VB, but the doc gave me some medication and it cleared up | 05:53 |
LinuxCode | dick-richardson, hahaha | 05:53 |
GeneralAntilles | dick-richardson, install a keylogger in there, too. | 05:54 |
dick-richardson | you know, I'm still trying to figure out how to call gpsd from the command line | 05:54 |
dick-richardson | gpsd: can't run with neither control socket nor devices | 05:55 |
GeneralAntilles | Actually, if it's in your VPN, you can probably track it actively | 05:55 |
GeneralAntilles | since gpsd is a network thing. | 05:55 |
GeneralAntilles | Not sure how to start it, though. | 05:55 |
GeneralAntilles | Maybe poll their forums/mailing lists/channels? | 05:56 |
GeneralAntilles | #gpsd | 05:56 |
dick-richardson | sounds good :D | 05:57 |
LinuxCode | GeneralAntilles, awesome | 05:57 |
LinuxCode | dick-richardson, you gon hack something up mate ? | 05:57 |
dick-richardson | yeah, but with the vpn being a pre-req I'm not sure how useful it'll be to the general user | 05:58 |
LinuxCode | well...if its too accessible | 05:58 |
LinuxCode | the thief will know | 05:58 |
GeneralAntilles | Obviously you're going to have to make a non-VPN mode. ;) | 05:58 |
LinuxCode | it will have to be some hidden thing | 05:58 |
LinuxCode | yeh | 05:58 |
GeneralAntilles | VPN mode for active tracking and non-VPN for burst reporting? | 05:58 |
GeneralAntilles | Will capture the lat/long itself when on non-VPN and send them out in an e-mail/phonecall/IM, etc. | 05:59 |
LinuxCode | I wonder if the kernel is compiled with ipv6 support | 05:59 |
*** cecil is now known as cesman | 05:59 | |
Xamusk | GeneralAntilles, I liked the bluetooth gps | 06:01 |
LinuxCode | it doesnt ;-[ | 06:02 |
Xamusk | GeneralAntilles, actually, it's cheaper to buy an n800 and the gps separated | 06:02 |
Xamusk | too bad the n800 doesn't come with the keyboard too, but then it comes with a full-sd slot :) | 06:03 |
Xamusk | do you know if I can build custom electronics for the N8x0? | 06:08 |
GeneralAntilles | Howso? | 06:08 |
GeneralAntilles | Bluetooth GPS with the N800 is great | 06:08 |
GeneralAntilles | the BT units are so much more accurate than the N810's | 06:08 |
Xamusk | :) | 06:08 |
Xamusk | maybe here's my solution :) pretty cheaper | 06:08 |
dick-richardson | and a LOT quicker to lock | 06:09 |
Xamusk | sadly it doesn't have the keyboard :( | 06:09 |
GeneralAntilles | Yeah | 06:09 |
GeneralAntilles | 30s versus 4 minutes | 06:09 |
GeneralAntilles | The fullscreen keyboard is actually quite good | 06:09 |
GeneralAntilles | I do 40wpm on it. | 06:09 |
GeneralAntilles | You just have to get a feel for it. | 06:09 |
Xamusk | but then, one can't complain when in low budget | 06:09 |
Xamusk | I just hope I can get both to my country | 06:10 |
GeneralAntilles | Where are you? | 06:10 |
Xamusk | Brazil | 06:10 |
dick-richardson | Can someone in the US send you one? | 06:11 |

*** truent has joined #maemo | 08:52 | |
johnx | by, entourage do you mean the built in mail client? | 08:53 |
rm_you | can't figure out how to make this window MOVE >_< | 08:56 |
johnx | you mean how to draw it at an arbitrary location? | 08:57 |
*** Minti has joined #maemo | 08:58 | |
rm_you | yes | 08:58 |
rm_you | ah maybe got it | 08:58 |
rm_you | HA | 08:58 |
rm_you | i was using gdk_window_move, need to use gtk_window_move | 08:59 |
rm_you | i'm still not sure what the difference between gdk and gtk is | 08:59 |
rm_you | but whatever | 08:59 |
LinuxCode | gnome toolkit ? | 08:59 |
LinuxCode | gnome developers kit ?!? | 09:00 |
LinuxCode | maybe | 09:00 |
johnx | gdk is the gimp drawing kit that gtk (gimp tool kit) uses to draw things | 09:00 |
rm_you | now the problem is finding out where the button IS on the screen | 09:01 |
rm_you | so i can move the popup to the right place | 09:01 |
oil | hi, can I cat an wav file to some audio pipe sot that it would play on n810? | 09:01 |
oil | eg. cat ui-wrong_charger.wav >> /dev/audio or similar | 09:02 |
johnx | oil, gst-launch playbin uri=file:///path/to/file.wav maybe | 09:02 |
johnx | you might not have gst-launch | 09:03 |
oil | johnx: I don't have that one. | 09:03 |
johnx | it's in this package: gstreamer0.10-tools | 09:03 |
johnx | There might be a simpler way... | 09:03 |
oil | without gst-launch it's not possible to do? | 09:03 |
johnx | I just don't know it | 09:03 |
johnx | hmm | 09:04 |
johnx | try play-sound :) | 09:04 |
ds3 | the mail program sure eats into the battery life :( | 09:05 |
oil | ah.. pure play-sound works fine! thanks :) | 09:05 |
*** targaryen has quit IRC | 09:07 | |
rm_you | now if only i could figure out how to give this popup a border... | 09:10 |
inz | rm, the position can be computed using the allocation of the button and it's GdkWindow's position | 09:11 |
*** Zetx has quit IRC | 09:11 | |
inz | rm, something like this: http://maemo-hackers.org/browser/osso-statusbar-cpu/trunk/src/common.c#L109 | 09:11 |
rm_you | inz: lol | 09:12 |
rm_you | inz: i'm actually using that applet as a base... or was... the popup_place function is actually *IN* an old version of my code | 09:12 |
rm_you | the problem is, they get the position of the button from some gpointer it gets passed as part of the click event | 09:13 |
rm_you | and i can't figure out how to get that | 09:13 |
rm_you | err, rather, as part of the "menu_popup" event | 09:13 |
rm_you | it appears to just be a pointer to the button... but i can't get the right data out of it :/ | 09:15 |
GeneralAntilles | Do it correctly, then. | 09:15 |
rm_you | lol | 09:15 |
inz | rm_you, yeah, it's just a pointer to the button instance | 09:15 |
rm_you | gdk_window_get_position(button->window, x, y); | 09:15 |
rm_you | but when *I* do it, it says the button has no "window" thing | 09:16 |
GeneralAntilles | It seems really sad to me that this isn't documented at all. | 09:16 |
inz | It must be a GtkWidget to have a window | 09:16 |
inz | So GTK_WIDGET(button)->window should work | 09:16 |
rm_you | BLEGH | 09:16 |
inz | Remember, this is C, object stuff is done via hacks | 09:18 |
*** Zetx has joined #maemo | 09:18 | |

rm_you | think that'll be a problem? >_> i do | 09:21 |
rm_you | gdk_window_get_position(GTK_WIDGET(button)>window, &x, &y); | 09:21 |
inz | You're missing a dash | 09:22 |
rm_you | ACK | 09:22 |
rm_you | lol | 09:22 |
rm_you | *hate* | 09:22 |
inz | The result of a comparison is always an integer | 09:22 |
rm_you | typo >_> | 09:22 |
inz | In C that is, in other languages it might be a boolean | 09:22 |
rm_you | SWEET! | 09:24 |
inz | For the border/theming thing, you might want to check the gtkrc-files | 09:24 |
rm_you | if only this had a nice border, this would be perfect | 09:24 |
rm_you | thanks johnx, inz! :P | 09:24 |
rm_you | lol | 09:24 |
rm_you | nice | 09:24 |
rm_you | you read my thoughts (though i guess i mentioned that before) | 09:24 |
inz | You might have, but I have not seen it | 09:25 |
inz | You could also run strings on the plugins, but that might have too much info, if you don't know what you're looking for | 09:25 |
rm_you | err, not about how, just the question :P | 09:25 |
rm_you | yeah, i've done stuff like that before... maybe :/ | 09:25 |
inz | Ahh, the question you did mention | 09:25 |
rm_you | but yeah, not quite sure what i'd be looking for | 09:26 |
rm_you | still perusing the gtk/gdk API... | 09:26 |
*** asgeirf has quit IRC | 09:26 | |
inz | IIRC the home applet theming stuff is done using named widgets (gtk_widget_set_name), this might be something similar | 09:26 |
rm_you | i'm using an hbox + vbox to add padding to the thing so it looks decent... | 09:26 |
inz | Or rather was done, nowadays they come in all shapes and colors ;) | 09:27 |
rm_you | hrm | 09:27 |
rm_you | i guess menus ARE a popup type window | 09:27 |
rm_you | so maybe i can figure out what a menu adds | 09:28 |
inz | You could try something like: strings <library> | while read i; do grep -q "$i" gtkrc* && echo $i; done | 09:33 |

truent | yeah dont make a system() function | 09:48 |
rm_you | what... execv? >_> | 09:48 |

inz | But you don't | 09:48 |
rm_you | ... i just want to run a program that already exists >_> | 09:48 |

GeneralAntilles | 4.2.2.1 | 09:56 |
inz | truent, but as ~ is bitwise-not, =~ is assignment of bitwise not | 09:56 |

keesj | yes, I would like to use quilt or similar | 10:42 |

inz | keesj, and the debian/ directory will be in the <package>_<upstream version>-<package version>.diff.gz | 10:43 |

GeneralAntilles | 3px-ish per step? | 11:11 |
rm_you | right, but i dont know the pixel size of the side buttons | 11:11 |
rm_you | that would be huge >_> | 11:11 |
GeneralAntilles | 50-percent screen width seems kinda excessive. | 11:11 |
rm_you | GeneralAntilles: it doesn't seem to matter much once you get to the kind of scale it already has... | 11:12 |
GeneralAntilles | Yeah | 11:12 |
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 scale | 11:12 |
GeneralAntilles | I'd be fine with 64 steps if the +/- still did 1-step increments | 11:12 |
GeneralAntilles | Yeah 0/1-6 is really where I want the resolution | 11:13 |
GeneralAntilles | Beyond that it doesn't matter. | 11:13 |
rm_you | i'll tweak it some tomorrow | 11:13 |
GeneralAntilles | Sleeeeep. :P | 11:13 |
GeneralAntilles | michele_, the backlight has 128 steps. | 11:13 |
rm_you | michele_: that's Nokia thinking right there :P | 11:14 |
michele_ | I meant in the UI | 11:14 |
rm_you | right... | 11:14 |
michele_ | if the hw allows it, it doesn't mean you have to display it | 11:14 |
rm_you | it starts with just one concession... "well, they don't actually need all 128, just 64.." | 11:14 |
GeneralAntilles | Yeah, like I said, if I can increment by 1 with the buttons. . . . | 11:14 |
rm_you | then "well, 64 is a bit much, maybe just 32..." | 11:14 |
LoCusF | any news on evince text selection feature? | 11:14 |
GeneralAntilles | Have each tick represent two levels. | 11:14 |
GeneralAntilles | Assuming that's doable. | 11:15 |
rm_you | michele_: next thing you know, it's down to 5 levels >_> | 11:15 |
rm_you | lol | 11:15 |
rm_you | GeneralAntilles: it's just pixel-magic | 11:15 |
rm_you | if i size it such that it is exactly 64 pixels for the slider part, that will just "be". | 11:15 |
GeneralAntilles | Can you change it to a volume-style slider? | 11:16 |
rm_you | it may be off by a couple, such that the odd pixel or three is its own one | 11:16 |
GeneralAntilles | Rather than a tick-style slider. | 11:16 |
rm_you | GeneralAntilles: yes but not really? i think | 11:16 |
GeneralAntilles | lol | 11:16 |
rm_you | GeneralAntilles: i believe the volume thing does some very specific things | 11:16 |
rm_you | yes... | 11:16 |

LinuxCode | seb_, you are doing this on the device itself ? | 11:30 |
LinuxCode | I dont even have fsck | 11:30 |
seb_ | LinuxCode: yes, and it has fsck onboard. | 11:30 |
johnx | isn't mmcblk0p1 what you want? | 11:30 |
seb_ | LinuxCode. Nokia-N810-50-2:~# ls /dev/mmcblk0* gives /dev/mmcblk0 and /dev/mmcblk0p1 | 11:31 |

inz | Didn't try the .deb prouced yet though | 11:31 |
seb_ | LinuxCode: Reflashed to most recent OS2008, but haven't add the SDK or anything | 11:31 |
rm_you | inz: but how to make it do stuff like, run all of the commands in the install.sh script? | 11:31 |

inz | To make it simpler | 11:32 |
rm_you | how do i split this diff up into all its component files? | 11:32 |
seb_ | On my N810, there are two directories for the mmc card - /media/mmc1 and /media/mmc2, but only one partition /dev/mmcblk0p1. | 11:32 |
LinuxCode | hmm I dunno how the other fella did it | 11:33 |
GeneralAntilles | mmc1 is the external flash | 11:33 |

seb_ | GeneralAntilles: I see. | 11:34 |
seb_ | GeneralAntilles: Does it come with that external flash slot already installed? | 11:34 |
LoCusF | inz: what does that patch do | 11:34 |
LoCusF | ? | 11:34 |
inz | LoCusF, adds debian packaging | 11:35 |
GeneralAntilles | seb_, uh, yeah, they put that in at the factory. | 11:35 |
LinuxCode | seb_, external = micro-sd card | 11:35 |
seb_ | THanks. | 11:35 |
LinuxCode | GeneralAntilles, ? | 11:35 |
LinuxCode | I didnt have a second card | 11:35 |
seb_ | And that's the 2GB card, right? | 11:35 |
rm_you | inz: so, i just run debian/rules and it should package up? | 11:35 |
* LinuxCode is confused | 11:35 | |
GeneralAntilles | mmc2 is the internal flash | 11:35 |
inz | rm, usually you use dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot | 11:35 |
seb_ | Ok. How much internal flash is there? | 11:35 |
inz | rm, other option is to run fakeroot debian/rules binary | 11:35 |
GeneralAntilles | 2GB | 11:35 |
GeneralAntilles | +256 | 11:36 |
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_you | inz: ok... so... i wonder if that works | 11:36 |
GeneralAntilles | No, there's nothing wrong with it. | 11:37 |
LinuxCode | seb_, you will only see the 2GB | 11:37 |
LinuxCode | its like that | 11:37 |
LinuxCode | somebody had the same issue you had | 11:38 |
seb_ | GeneralAntilles: Oh. Odd. | 11:38 |
LinuxCode | means.... | 11:38 |
GeneralAntilles | The filesystem is corrupt. | 11:38 |
LinuxCode | either you unmounted and it wasnt finished writing to it | 11:38 |
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 |
GeneralAntilles | It 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 0 | 11:39 |
seb_ | But df -h shows this: /dev/mmcblk0p1 1.9G 1.5G 421.3M 78% /media/mmc2 | 11:40 |
LinuxCode | so ? | 11:40 |
LinuxCode | type mount | 11:40 |
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_you | inz: where here does it ACTUALLY put the files in the right directories? | 11:43 |
rm_you | rules puts them in "debian/tmp/usr/lib/hildon-desktop/" and "debian/tmp/usr/share/applications/hildon-status-bar/".... | 11:43 |
rm_you | is there some sort of magic involved in debian_helper that translates that to the real paths? | 11:43 |

seb_ | The formatting problem might explain why some ogg-vorbis tracks were showing up in Media-Player(OGG) as realaudio files and not working.... | 11:56 |
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 |
GeneralAntilles | No | 11:58 |
GeneralAntilles | There's 256MB of flash for the OS/user storage/applications, etc. | 11:58 |
GeneralAntilles | There's 2GB of flash soldered to the board | 11:59 |
GeneralAntilles | and then there's an external MiniSD slot for cards up to 2048GB | 11:59 |
johnx | the 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 from | 12:00 |
GeneralAntilles | I 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 |
GeneralAntilles | Wouldn't be that hard to bundle a 2GB card with the maps. | 12:01 |
seb_ | You definitely can't install >2048 MB? | 12:01 |
GeneralAntilles | Not unless you open it up, desolder the flash and resolder a new chip on there. | 12:02 |

GeneralAntilles | Problem with flash memory that big is that they still only transfer data in the 5-15MB/sec range. ;) | 12:07 |
LoCusF | hehe | 12:07 |
GeneralAntilles | If 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 |
seb_ | Yes. That's true. In fact, I installed a 2GB CF card in a slightly old Nikon digital camera and it seemed _really_ slow to store and retrieve theimages. | 12:08 |

GeneralAntilles | You'll need a JTAG cable. | 12:49 |
chille | actually there is four starup screen, first the one in the "bios", then one in a bootloader or kernel (don't know what) and then there is two *.png's in the gui | 12:50 |
chille | i NEED? for what? to recover the machine if a brick it? the picture is in the image from nokia, so it would probably be possible to change the image and flash the device | 12:51 |
*** Nermal has joined #maemo | 12:51 | |
GeneralAntilles | The image isn't in a user-accessible part of the flash. | 12:51 |
GeneralAntilles | You'd need a JTAG cable to attach to the serial port to flash it. | 12:51 |
GeneralAntilles | With custom images as outlined in the thread above, you only get about 5 seconds of the Nokia logo. | 12:52 |
chille | are you sure? i think i found something in the 2nd that might be the nokia logo, but i'm not sure yet, i'm working on it | 12:52 |
chille | seems to be an RLE-encoded image or something | 12:52 |
GeneralAntilles | Fairly certain | 12:52 |
GeneralAntilles | But, if you think you've found something, replace it and find out | 12:52 |
chille | yeah, but that 5 seconds is 5 seconds to much for mee | 12:52 |
chille | yeah, but i'm to scared of bricking the device | 12:53 |
chille | because i don't know if the image got any kind of checksum or so | 12:53 |
chille | but maybe the flasher would whine is the checksum is wrong | 12:53 |
chille | but whatever, i got a JTAG cable, so maybe there's no problem | 12:53 |
GeneralAntilles | The worst you'll have to do is reflash. | 12:54 |
chille | reflash with the JTAG cable? | 12:54 |
GeneralAntilles | If you find a solution that doesn't require JTAG cable, let me know. | 12:54 |
GeneralAntilles | No, USB. | 12:54 |
GeneralAntilles | Most likely | 12:54 |
chille | yeah but the problem is if i crach the bootloader it wont probably be possible to reflash the device with a USB cable | 12:55 |
GeneralAntilles | Eh, you have a JTAG cable, then, right? :P | 12:55 |
chille | yes, i have, but is it ALWAYS possible to reflash the device via JTAG? | 12:56 |
GeneralAntilles | Unless it becomes a hardware problem. | 12:56 |
michele_ | "always" is quite strong word | 12:56 |
chille | even if i fuck it up and crach the NAND Flash inside the OMAP? | 12:56 |
michele_ | almost as strong as "never" | 12:56 |

lcuk_2 | hey 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_2 | sounds familiar????? | 13:38 |
lcuk_2 | http://www.theinquirer.net/gb/inquirer/news/2008/01/17/htc-owners-arms-graphics | 13:38 |
GeneralAntilles | class action? | 13:39 |
GeneralAntilles | <_< | 13:39 |
GeneralAntilles | It's a hardware limitation and we weren't promised anything we didn't get going in. | 13:39 |
*** simon_ has joined #maemo | 13:39 | |
lcuk_2 | wheres 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_2 | anyway, back to the grind | 13:41 |
GeneralAntilles | Yes. | 13:42 |
GeneralAntilles | Because we weren't guaranteed anything going in. | 13:42 |
GeneralAntilles | Nokia mentions nothing of accelerated graphics. | 13:42 |
hugolp | GeneralAntilles: so you think Nokia is going to support OpenGL in the N900 (or whatever the name is for the next model)? | 13:43 |
GeneralAntilles | I don't see any reason why they wouldn't | 13:43 |
GeneralAntilles | and accelerated graphics are a big selling point. | 13:43 |
GeneralAntilles | Especially when they basically get it for free with the chip. | 13:43 |
hugolp | well, its not in the 2420 chip | 13:44 |
GeneralAntilles | The PowerVR or the support? | 13:44 |
*** db48x has quit IRC | 13:44 | |
hugolp | GeneralAntilles: I though the N800/810 chip doesnt support opengl | 13:45 |
GeneralAntilles | It does. | 13:45 |
GeneralAntilles | See TI's website | 13:45 |
*** blooming has joined #maemo | 13:45 | |
*** db48x has joined #maemo | 13:45 | |
GeneralAntilles | The problem lies with the LCD controller | 13:45 |
hugolp | how? | 13:45 |
GeneralAntilles | Assuming 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 800x480 | 13:46 |
GeneralAntilles | The OMAP2420's built-in controller only handles up to 640x480 | 13:46 |
GeneralAntilles | So Nokia had to put in a 3rd party controller to handle 800x480 | 13:46 |
hugolp | I see | 13:46 |
GeneralAntilles | this 3rd party controller is connected with a very low-bandwidth serial interface. | 13:46 |
GeneralAntilles | So no hardware video decoding or accelerated OpenGL for us. | 13:46 |
*** Tama^2 has joined #maemo | 13:47 | |
hugolp | IMO this is something Nokia should have as a priority to solve for next device. For the rest of the hardware Im very happy | 13:48 |
GeneralAntilles | There's no solving about it with the next device | 13:48 |
GeneralAntilles | The OMAP3430 supports up to 1024x768 just fine. | 13:48 |
hahlo | I would like see gsm chip in next device | 13:49 |
kulve | GeneralAntilles: 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 |
GeneralAntilles | Where else could they go? | 13:49 |
kulve | hahlo: use voip | 13:49 |
GeneralAntilles | hahlo, let's hope not. | 13:49 |
GeneralAntilles | They're not going for Intel | 13:49 |
GeneralAntilles | and there's nowhere to move on tho OMAP2 | 13:49 |
GeneralAntilles | I very much doubt they'd move to another ARM chip | 13:50 |
hugolp | GeneralAntilles: that sounds great | 13:50 |
GeneralAntilles | Anyway, no bottle-necking LCD controller means OpenGL ES 2.0, and hardware video decoding | 13:50 |
blooming | if the chip can support 640*480 then cant we use that for "game mode" and have a black border? | 13:50 |
GeneralAntilles | 720p no problem. ;) | 13:50 |
*** Vulcanis has quit IRC | 13:50 | |
GeneralAntilles | No, blooming, because it's not connected to the LCD. | 13:50 |
hugolp | the Nokia with 720p and opengl is going to be amazing | 13:50 |
hahlo | I have tiomap ipaQ too with gsm and wlan bt and irda | 13:50 |
GeneralAntilles | GSM 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 IRC | 13:51 | |
GeneralAntilles | Oh, OK, but OMAP3 can decode 720p just fine. ;) | 13:51 |
hahlo | 3g mobile is good for internet | 13:51 |
hugolp | GeneralAntilles: but that is a design nokia policy, they dont want GSM into the tablets | 13:51 |
hugolp | its not really a hardware or software problem | 13:51 |
GeneralAntilles | FWI, 720p usually refers to video resolution, not screen resolution. :P | 13:51 |
GeneralAntilles | hahlo, that's what I have a cellphone for. | 13:52 |
*** lrentz has left #maemo | 13:52 | |
hugolp | GeneralAntilles: yes, of course | 13:52 |
GeneralAntilles | It is a software problem | 13:52 |
GeneralAntilles | as providing support for a cellular modem is a non-trivial upgrade for maemo. | 13:52 |
hugolp | but if the tablet can render 720p without a problem it means no need to transcode from a media server | 13:52 |
fatal- | GeneralAntilles: yeah, but being able to show 720p without scaling puts some requirements on the screen resolution, too | 13:52 |
GeneralAntilles | A cellular radio is going to shoot costs up and generally make things a lot more difficult. | 13:52 |
*** ssvb has quit IRC | 13:52 | |
GeneralAntilles | Right, hugolp. | 13:52 |
*** ssvb has joined #maemo | 13:53 | |
kulve | and 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 away | 13:53 |
hahlo | at least ipaq is cheap with gsm | 13:53 |
GeneralAntilles | There 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 |
kulve | fatal-: and if it's the same size physically as the current one, the benefit from it would be pretty minimal | 13:54 |
kulve | +d | 13:54 |
hugolp | GeneralAntilles: 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 more | 13:54 |
GeneralAntilles | fatal, I'd be interested in it to drive a component or VGA out. | 13:54 |
GeneralAntilles | The goal is to end up with a platform that's suitable for general consumption. | 13:54 |
hugolp | GeneralAntilles: yes, VGA out like in the N95 would be a good idea | 13:54 |
hahlo | little birds also sang that there might be gsm in next device, not sure if true | 13:54 |
GeneralAntilles | Dear god let's hope not. | 13:55 |
hugolp | GeneralAntilles: and iPhone succes might have open Nokia chairman eyes | 13:55 |
GeneralAntilles | I'm not against a cellular modem in a maemo device once the platform gets some hardware diversification | 13:55 |
GeneralAntilles | But if it comes down to my N800 or an N900 with GSM . . . | 13:55 |
GeneralAntilles | I wont be buying. | 13:55 |
hugolp | I would | 13:55 |
*** blooming has quit IRC | 13:55 | |

GeneralAntilles | Nokia Internet Tablet | 13:57 |
hugolp | ok | 13:57 |
GeneralAntilles | hahlo, I HIGHLY doubt it. | 13:57 |
GeneralAntilles | The platform just isn't positioned for it right now | 13:58 |
hahlo | GeneralAntilles: i'm sure here are rubber Boot factory people | 13:58 |
GeneralAntilles | If you want answers, go beg texrat. ;) | 13:59 |
hahlo | but if they would tell us the truth they would get kick off by rubber boot | 14:00 |
hugolp | GeneralAntilles: but whats the problem with Maemo suporting GSM? you where talking drivers or GUI problems? | 14:02 |
GeneralAntilles | A lot of both | 14:02 |

GeneralAntilles | the .installs aren't that great for most stuff. | 14:12 |
GeneralAntilles | Good for the first few, but the dupes add up on the Extras stuff. | 14:12 |

jorgen | Hmm. Are there alternatives for taking stills other than gstreamer? | 16:19 |
fysa | so 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 |
fysa | if KDE runs as well as penguin claims, the slide keyboard might be worthwhile to me.. | 16:20 |

jorgen | wwp: Yeah, using the example up on maemo.org. The problem i'm having is the startup time is abysmal, which is down to one function as far as I can see. It takes some 18 seconds to return, which is what i'm trying to fix. :) | 16:24 |

*** jnettlet has joined #maemo | 16:24 | |
wwp | jorgen: funny. to take a photograph, I wouldn't used gstreamer :). the camera program on OS2008 is OK-ish for that, and there are alternatives (like an app that stores GPS data in the picture) | 16:25 |

jorgen | wwp: I'd use that if I could, but i'm doing something quite non-trivial as i'm hacking on a project that is doing some object detection using Haar-like cascades. | 16:28 |
fysa | it doesn't even need to be "good" | 16:29 |
fysa | it just needs to be better passably faster than the onscreen | 16:29 |
wwp | hm. | 16:29 |
wwp | then I can't help | 16:29 |
fysa | the main reason for this, in my opinion, is that you gain tremendous screen real estate by not needing the onscreen thumb vkb. | 16:29 |
fysa | and suddenly a spreadsheet could be usable (now that you can see what you do as you type ..) | 16:30 |

*** juergbi has quit IRC | 16:34 | |

fysa | http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/WebHome | 16:35 |
fysa | Motion 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 |
fysa | basically, you can look for specific motion sequences and trigger scripts. | 16:35 |
fysa | I was interested in using it with a webcam on my HTPC to let me control e.g., volume by waving my hand a certain way | 16:36 |
fysa | or automatically pausing if someone is standing in front of the screen and the lights are at a certain level | 16:36 |
fysa | (that means it's projector movie time) | 16:36 |
jorgen | Hmm, great. :) | 16:36 |
fysa | someone ported it to OS2007 and maybe OS2008 | 16:37 |
fysa | so I'm assuming it works with the built-in webcam, | 16:37 |

lcuk_2 | lol michele - isnt that the best way to code | 19:12 |
rm_you | michele_: it was an accident? :P | 19:12 |
rm_you | Code first, ask questions later >_> | 19:12 |
rm_you | bad for large projects, but for SMAAAAAL ones, it works just fine :/ | 19:12 |
rm_you | *SMAAAAAALL | 19:13 |
lcuk_2 | rm, have you made changes to it since because there is a couple of things i woul;d offer | 19:13 |
rm_you | lcuk_2: go for it | 19:13 |
rm_you | lcuk_2: do you have version 0.5? | 19:13 |
rm_you | it's a deb now | 19:13 |
rm_you | also, it looks like a popup, not a full window | 19:13 |
lcuk_2 | nope, ill grab it when im not VNCing into home machine from work later on... | 19:13 |
rm_you | and it's less lag inducing | 19:13 |
rm_you | i replaced a system() call with a g_spawn_async | 19:13 |
lcuk_2 | awww damn - iwas gonna say since you have loads of screen estate it would be nice to have a big button that says "dimmest" and another that says "brightest | 19:14 |
GeneralAntilles | Ha | 19:14 |
lcuk_2 | so you dont have to fiddle and hit the right tiny target | 19:14 |
rm_you | heh | 19:14 |
rm_you | it's easy for that... | 19:14 |
GeneralAntilles | lcuk_2, tap'n'drag | 19:14 |

GeneralAntilles | Just hit it somewhere in the middle and zing it to one side or the other like you're putting the last flourish on John Hancock's signature. | 19:14 |
lcuk_2 | itap and drag needs a stylus which is tucked away - i do most i can without it and fingers are fat on skinny scrollbars | 19:15 |

lcuk_2 | does it still go to ULTRA dark (ie off) on the 810? | 19:17 |

rm_you | lcuk_2: but not on n800 | 19:17 |
*** k-s[AWAY_WORK] is now known as k-s[WORK] | 19:17 | |

rm_you | lcuk_2: it also has the one step +/- buttons... | 19:17 |
GeneralAntilles | Time for a setting, rm_you. | 19:18 |

rm_you | GeneralAntilles: ? | 19:18 |
GeneralAntilles | For step 0 | 19:18 |
rm_you | ah | 19:18 |
rm_you | do n800 users want to be able to turn off the backlight? | 19:18 |

rm_you | so, i need a project full name, and a unix name | 19:19 |
rm_you | adv-backlight works for unix name i guess... | 19:19 |
lcuk_2 | oh - i noticed something else, when its on minimum its great, when i lock device the screen BRIGHTENS | 19:20 |
GeneralAntilles | Well, the project name should depend on how far you plan on taking it. | 19:20 |
rm_you | :/ | 19:20 |
GeneralAntilles | lcuk_2, just go to /etc/mce/mce.ini and turn off dimming for locking. | 19:20 |

s1d | stupid question when building programs in scratchbox using autoconf what should i use as the --host ? | 21:27 |
*** penguinbait has quit IRC | 21:28 | |
wnd | iirc you should just omit that option | 21:28 |
s1d | i've been trying --host arm ..etc and some variations with no luck | 21:28 |
s1d | this is the error i'm getting with ./configure | 21:29 |
s1d | checking whether the C compiler works... configure: error: cannot run C compiled programs. | 21:29 |
s1d | If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'. | 21:29 |
Tak | omit that option | 21:29 |
s1d | when 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 |
s1d | that's a log from running with out any options appended to the ./configure call | 21:30 |
Blafasel | Yeah, great. They put a sticker right on top of my display protection.. Argh! | 21:31 |
Blafasel | Any hints where I can order some good new ones? | 21:31 |
pupnik | the display protection is not designed for actual use, afaik | 21:31 |
zuh | s1d: look at config.log to find out exactly why it didn't work, sounds like you have broken CPU transparency setup | 21:32 |
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 |
Blafasel | pupnik: So what#s recommended? Using a good bag only for protection? | 21:32 |
yatiohi | wnd: it does say "keyboard language switched" but it still shows english characters | 21:33 |
pupnik | http://www.google.com/search?q=n810+%22screen+protector%22 | 21:33 |
pupnik | i haven't bought one yet | 21:33 |
wnd | yatiohi, 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 |
yatiohi | wnd: I see. Thanks :) | 21:35 |
s1d | ah zuh you were right :) | 21:36 |
zuh | That's pretty common these days. I wonder why. | 21:37 |
zuh | :P | 21:37 |

michele_ | felipec: I'd like just plain gtk widgets and a library browser | 22:33 |
michele_ | nothing fancy | 22:33 |
kulve | kilikali needs a new UI :) | 22:33 |
michele_ | what's that? | 22:33 |
kulve | simple media player | 22:34 |
kulve | with ugly UI | 22:34 |
*** trevarthan has joined #maemo | 22:34 | |
kulve | but the gstreamer side of it should work pretty well | 22:34 |
michele_ | I think it's the only one I haven't seen yet... | 22:34 |
michele_ | link? | 22:34 |
trevarthan | so... what's the best language to develop a commercial application for maemo in? | 22:34 |
kulve | c | 22:34 |
elb | "the best language" is almost never a reasonable question to ask, unless you have a specific use in mind | 22:34 |
kulve | michele_: http://garage.maemo.org/projects/kilikali/ | 22:34 |
trevarthan | ick. no OOP. is C++ the next best choice? | 22:34 |
elb | and, as you may or may not be aware, OOP is a programming style, not a language feature | 22:35 |
michele_ | trevarthan: vala | 22:35 |
lcuk_2 | trev, all depends on usage and deployment targets | 22:35 |
kulve | python seems to be popular nowadays | 22:35 |
michele_ | and what elb said | 22:35 |
trevarthan | I'd prefer to use Python, but I'm concerned about piracy with Python. | 22:35 |
michele_ | kulve: are you one of thedevelopers? | 22:36 |
kulve | michele_: yup | 22:36 |
elb | piracy is no easier with Python than with C | 22:36 |
elb | copying is copying | 22:36 |
michele_ | kulve: is the project alive? last release was in march... | 22:36 |
trevarthan | elb: 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 it | 22:37 |
lcuk_2 | piracy 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 |
elb | you can write some critical functionality in C with "product keys" to protect it, and glue it all together with Python | 22:37 |
kulve | michele_: see the svn. It's a live | 22:37 |
kulve | there's newer releases too, just not on that page. They are in the repository | 22:37 |
elb | frankly, though, with a response like "ick. no OOP.", I question the viability of any software your company would produce | 22:38 |
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 values | 22:38 |
trevarthan | elb: why? I like to write code using OOP. What's wrong with that? | 22:38 |
*** sbaturzio has joined #maemo | 22:38 | |
elb | nothing at all | 22:38 |
kulve | michele_: points of the kilikali are: c, gstreamer, simple UI, open source, reasonably light | 22:38 |
kulve | michele_: and simple UI shouldn't mean ugly, like it is now :) | 22:39 |
*** fr01 has quit IRC | 22:39 | |
trevarthan | lcuk_2: how? I'd like to read about it. | 22:39 |
michele_ | kulve: you should try to push it to the maemo-extra repo... | 22:39 |
kulve | it has some bad usability issues though. But it's pretty stable :) | 22:39 |
elb | I prefer to write object-oriented code, as well -- and I do almost all of it in C | 22:39 |
lcuk_2 | http://www.pgp.com/downloads/sourcecode/ | 22:40 |
*** dneary has joined #maemo | 22:40 | |
elb | http://gnupg.org/ is a better reference, for that ;-) | 22:40 |
lcuk_2 | yer it might be, but it serves the point | 22:40 |
trevarthan | yeah, I know what pgp is, but I don't get how I could use it for product keys in a way that can't be easily hacked if the program is python. | 22:41 |
lcuk_2 | what are you wanting to secure, the data created with your program or the program itself? | 22:42 |
trevarthan | The program itself, unfortunately. | 22:42 |
lcuk_2 | if its the program itself take a look around, you are in a linux environment which is built entirely from open source | 22:42 |
trevarthan | I need to insure that it isn't copied and installed on another device without the customer buying another license. | 22:42 |
lcuk_2 | not even the mighty microsoft can stop that | 22:43 |
sp3000 | sucks to be you :) | 22:43 |
trevarthan | yeah. they make it a lot harder than it would be if all their crap were written in python though. | 22:43 |
lcuk_2 | not really | 22:44 |
*** megabyte405 has joined #maemo | 22:45 | |
*** eber_ has quit IRC | 22:46 | |
lcuk_2 | write it in C++ and sell it. nobody will think any less of you for doing it | 22:46 |
trevarthan | what I'm wondering is if it would affect sales if I wrote it in Python instead. | 22:46 |
* lcuk_2 wants to sell support for his brand of product when he releases it | 22:46 | |
*** bergie has quit IRC | 22:46 | |
lcuk_2 | i dont care if people read/learn from the code | 22:47 |
lcuk_2 | but if they want supporting on 20 computers then they must pay | 22:47 |
lcuk_2 | i couldnt be damned (and would prefer it) if they DID install it on every single device | 22:47 |
lcuk_2 | more devices = more eyes = better exposure | 22:47 |
kulve | and if the code is propriatary nobody is allowed to use it in their stuff anyway.. | 22:47 |

lcuk_2 | not really, but then again ive not looked having found what i need in OSS | 22:54 |

michele_ | trevarthan: do you ever wonder how many pirated copies of windows there are in the world? | 22:55 |
michele_ | trevarthan: the thing is, if somebody is motivated, your protection will be hacked | 22:55 |
trevarthan | michele_: no. lots. I wonder how they make so much damn money when there's so much piracy thought. | 22:55 |

michele_ | trevarthan: the trick is give people something they want to pay for | 22:56 |
lcuk_2 | SUN just paid 1 BILLION dollars for an open source program | 22:56 |
lcuk_2 | thats a hell of a lot of money when they could have just checked out the source | 22:56 |

*** naba has joined #maemo | 22:57 | |
lcuk_2 | anything they could have made by taking the source might have been good, but it would NOT have been MySQL | 22:57 |

lcuk_2 | no, its all in the name | 22:57 |

lcuk_2 | i could take firefox and make a bazzing internet browser but it would be very very difficult for me to convince people to use it over the much more recognised Firefox | 22:58 |
trevarthan | well, 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 it | 22:59 |
lcuk_2 | trevarthan, people look at python which is entirely open source and has libraries which are entirely open source and they just think "hmmm well maybe it would be a good think to make my program open source as well" | 23:00 |
trevarthan | lcuk_2: I like open source, I just can't figure out how to make any money off of it with this particular application. | 23:00 |

*** krau has quit IRC | 23:03 | |
trevarthan | but 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_2 | then let them install the basic version on all machines they want. if they want extra functionality let them pay for it. | 23:03 |
trevarthan | C or C++ would make the cost high enough that it wouldn't matter so much. | 23:04 |

* lcuk_2 gives up | 23:15 | |
trevarthan | lcuk_2: like this? https://garage.maemo.org/projects/irreco/ | 23:15 |
lcuk_2 | trev, there would be but there is no IR port on the n8x0 | 23:15 |
trevarthan | sorry, better link: http://irreco.garage.maemo.org/ | 23:16 |
trevarthan | no, it uses tcp/ip. You just install lirc on the other pc. | 23:16 |
lcuk_2 | which then uses its IR emitter to change the channel? | 23:16 |
trevarthan | nah. uses the API | 23:16 |
* michele_ curses application manager | 23:17 | |
trevarthan | if 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_2 | thats where it falls flat on its face, im just using media player classic on windows lol | 23:17 |
*** MoRpHeUz has quit IRC | 23:18 | |
lcuk_2 | it worked really nicely until the IR sensor started to go wonky | 23:18 |
lcuk_2 | michele_, have you got most stuff back? or are you missing repos | 23:18 |
trevarthan | lcuk_2: http://winlirc.sourceforge.net/ | 23:18 |
trevarthan | no clue how current that is though. | 23:19 |
trevarthan | might not do tcp/ip. | 23:19 |
lcuk_2 | WinLIRC requires a very simple IR detector connected to a serial port. | 23:19 |
trevarthan | yeah, dunno if that's omission or fact. | 23:19 |
lcuk_2 | doesnt 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 |
michele_ | lcuk_2: it has problems connecting to the extras repo | 23:20 |
Blafasel | Hmm.. I have US/Canada maps in "Maps". Can I switch them to Europe/Germany somehow? | 23:21 |
Blafasel | Ah.. | 23:21 |
Blafasel | Nvm | 23:21 |
*** henrique has joined #maemo | 23:21 | |
lcuk_2 | michele_, when did you last refresh before you reflashed - ie was it working very very recently | 23:21 |
michele_ | dunno | 23:21 |
trevarthan | is there a compiled alternative to C++ on maemo? I despise C++. | 23:22 |
lcuk_2 | yer - c | 23:22 |
trevarthan | Or.... would a python code obfuscator give sufficient protection? | 23:22 |
michele_ | vala | 23:22 |
michele_ | trevarthan: check out vala | 23:22 |
vegai | you can use C++ on maemo? | 23:22 |
trevarthan | michele_: how much do people actually use vala? | 23:22 |
*** Raistl|n has joined #Maemo | 23:22 | |
michele_ | it's a C# inspired language that compiles back to C and then to native | 23:23 |
trevarthan | vegai: think so. saw stuff about gtkmm.... | 23:23 |
*** penguinbait has quit IRC | 23:23 | |
*** ch4os_ has quit IRC | 23:23 | |
vegai | trevarthan: seems like a rather silly thing to do when there's C | 23:23 |
Blafasel | I'd love to use vala where C# is no option | 23:23 |
michele_ | trevarthan: not much, as it is specifically targeted to gnome/gtk/maemo (gobject stuff) | 23:23 |
* Tak using vala right now | 23:24 | |
trevarthan | michele_: is it limited? i.e. can I do network stuff from it? | 23:24 |
vegai | D might be fun | 23:24 |
vegai | or Haskell :-P | 23:24 |
trevarthan | not looking for fun. if I wanted fun I'd use OCaml. :) | 23:24 |
Cptnodegard | iGo has been discontinued o_0 sad day | 23:24 |
michele_ | trevarthan: it cando what C can do | 23:24 |
michele_ | OMG. ocaml... | 23:25 |
trevarthan | yeah, I used to write a lot of ocaml code until I got tired of the parens. | 23:25 |
trevarthan | god those parens are annoying. | 23:25 |
*** playya__ has joined #maemo | 23:25 | |
lcuk_2 | trev, you might look at mono - im sure i read somewhere its ported | 23:25 |
*** gopi_ has joined #maemo | 23:25 | |
lcuk_2 | whether or not you will get more than hello world im not sure | 23:26 |
michele_ | it was for sure, when 770 came out, I don't know if it is maintained | 23:26 |
*** eijk has joined #maemo | 23:26 | |
eijk | Hi! | 23:26 |
lcuk_2 | see, eijk is written in mono | 23:26 |
eijk | Any modest folks here? | 23:26 |
eijk | ? | 23:26 |
lcuk_2 | lol eijk you missed the line above | 23:27 |
lcuk_2 | <lcuk_2> whether or not you will get more than hello world im not sure | 23:27 |
lcuk_2 | then you said hi! | 23:27 |
eijk | ;-) 'k | 23:27 |
trevarthan | I 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 python | 23:28 |
juergbi | trevarthan: 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 stable | 23:29 |
trevarthan | michele_: mmmm.... they use it a lot on win32 though. so maybe it's not that bad? | 23:29 |
juergbi | trevarthan: 0.1.6 will be released shortly, give it a try if you like | 23:29 |
lcuk_2 | im gonna vanish anyways, back later | 23:29 |
Tama^2 | I honestly do not understand the point behind vala :P | 23:29 |
trevarthan | bye lcuk_2. thanks for the chat. | 23:30 |
*** lmoura has quit IRC | 23:30 | |
trevarthan | Tama^2: I think vala is mono for people scared of mono because of the IP issues. | 23:30 |
* sp3000 likes the characterization of not implementing support for a particular rfc "broken, and in violation of the applicable standards" | 23:31 | |
Tama^2 | I see | 23:31 |
sp3000 | yay hyperbole | 23:31 |
juergbi | trevarthan: no, I don't think that a lot of people are using vala due to that | 23:31 |
juergbi | the development certainly haven't been started due to that | 23:31 |
trevarthan | what's the point then, when there's mono? | 23:31 |
Tama^2 | an python | 23:31 |
Tama^2 | *and | 23:31 |
trevarthan | yeah | 23:31 |
juergbi | mono is a different platform, it duplicates a lot of the gnome platform | 23:32 |
juergbi | vala is c# for the gnome platform, without an additional runtime | 23:32 |
michele_ | vala compiles to native, mono to bytecode | 23:32 |
trevarthan | does vala have a modern GC? | 23:32 |
*** gopi has quit IRC | 23:32 | |
*** hugolp has quit IRC | 23:33 | |
trevarthan | not that I think python's GC is particularly modern, but it's better than C++. | 23:33 |
*** kenne has quit IRC | 23:33 | |
juergbi | it directly uses gobject, so it uses the available reference counting mechanism | 23:33 |
juergbi | so more or less like integrated smart pointers | 23:33 |
trevarthan | I hate reference counting. so you get problems with circular object references, right? | 23:33 |
*** DaniloCesar has quit IRC | 23:34 | |
Tama^2 | I still think picking an existing language makes more sense | 23:34 |
trevarthan | me too | 23:34 |
trevarthan | sounds like vala might go away at some point or something | 23:34 |
* sp3000 waits for cobol to rear its head | 23:34 | |
BuSyAnToS | i received my n810 do i need to make any upgrade? | 23:35 |
juergbi | trevarthan: everything might go away at some point or something ;) | 23:35 |
trevarthan | BuSyAnToS: probably worthwhile to flash the latest firmware, yeah. | 23:35 |
BuSyAnToS | ok :) | 23:35 |
trevarthan | juergbi: except, C, right? :) blech. | 23:35 |
juergbi | trevarthan: if gobject 3 switches to different kind of garbage collection, vala will, too, so it's just very near to the glib runtime, it uses | 23:35 |
michele_ | required, if you want skype | 23:35 |
BuSyAnToS | yes i want it | 23:36 |
*** asgeirf has joined #maemo | 23:36 | |
BuSyAnToS | i see it somehow faster than the 770 i had | 23:36 |
trevarthan | BuSyAnToS: yeah, faster CPU and more memory. | 23:36 |
sp3000 | yes, a faster processor and more memory can cause that | 23:36 |
Tama^2 | unless you install vista... | 23:36 |
Tama^2 | xD | 23:37 |
juergbi | trevarthan: regarding circular references: yes, that's an issue, of course, the same as in C. you can declare weak references to avoid the issue, just like in C, too | 23:38 |

Blafasel | Hmpf. The map download always fails/aborts.. Is there a hidden "Don't kill the wifi connection" setting? | 23:47 |
sp3000 | Blafasel: do you have enough space? I'm not sure if it's very clear about that | 23:49 |
michele_ | Blafasel: I just fixed it right now | 23:49 |
michele_ | Blafasel: open the terminal | 23:49 |
michele_ | and write this: | 23:49 |
michele_ | gconftool-2 --set --type int '/system/osso/connectivity/IAP/wlan_sleep_timeout' '1000' | 23:50 |

*** wwp has quit IRC | 23:50 | |
sp3000 | Blafasel: iirc wifi doesn't have disconnect timeout enabled by default | 23:50 |
Blafasel | And why does it go to sleep at all if there's traffic? | 23:50 |
trevarthan | Maybe a product key isn't necessary at all on maemo. Maybe the single click install method is enough. | 23:51 |
sp3000 | michele_: doesn't that thing have ui these days? | 23:51 |
*** wwp has joined #maemo | 23:51 | |
sp3000 | that's network-specific so you don't affect battery life on better APs? | 23:51 |
