Tama^2: I followed the instruction to boot from mmc. It seems to get almost to the end of the boot process (boot slash with progress bar up to the end) and then reboots. Is it a known problem?00:40

Tama^2hoping some good soul may be listening00:41
*** MikeL has quit IRC00:41
GeneralAntillesTry again, Tama^2.00:42
GeneralAntillesYou did something wrong.00:42
Tama^2from the wiki: 1 The first time I tried this on my N800 it led to continuous reboots 30-90 seconds after booting. Trying it a second time on a clean install (directly after flashing and erasing everything already on the device) worked fine.00:42
*** jackster has joined #maemo00:43
Tama^2I could try again but I do not want to do a fresh install AGAIN...00:43
GeneralAntillesEh, you probably shouldn't have started in the first place, then. :P00:43
Tama^2the reason must be some kind of reference to the root device00:43

michele_I did00:53
maddlerit was working on os200700:53
j0ttmichele_: normal terminals support only fixed fonts ...00:53
GeneralAntillesmaddler, OS2007 was a different xterm. :P00:54
GeneralAntillesAn arguably less crappy xterm.00:54
michele_xchat sees them, the terminal not00:54
maddlerGeneralAntilles: I know...00:54
GeneralAntillesj0tt, not width.00:54

maddlerand it actually worked :)01:04
maddlersince it is not xterm related byt window manager01:05
michele_it's fontconfig01:05
lcuk_2eh? osso-xterm font is just tools/settings01:05
* lcuk_2 can see and use comic sans01:06
lcuk_2(os2008 though)01:06
maddleryup... but I mean... xterm only get available fonts from the system...01:06
* michele_ can't01:06
maddlerso once they are available its using them...01:06
*** rtp has quit IRC01:07
lcuk_2michele_, i did the following: copied ttf into system.    ran "fc-cache -f" to refresh cache.   fonts were then listed but not usable.   i rebooted and it works everywhere01:07
* lcuk_2 hates mx comic sans but its so distinctive its hard to miss01:08
GeneralAntilles /home/user/.fonts, lcuk_2?01:08
maddlercomic sans is the worst font I've ever seen! :D01:09
lcuk_2yes sorry thats where i put it.  i had to create the folder though01:09
*** rtp has joined #maemo01:09
maddlerlcuk_2: true01:09
lcuk_2i followed the instructions for installing foreign language support fonts ( i used the hebrew instructions ... http://maemo.org/community/wiki/hebrew/ )01:09
*** k-s has joined #maemo01:10
michele_well... it works just like gnome, and xchat can see the new font, the terminal can't01:10
lcuk_2have you rebooted?01:10
michele_I guess I should just try a reboot01:11
michele_but it shouldn't be needed01:11
lcuk_2lol - linux gets more and more like windows everyday01:11
*** captainigloo has quit IRC01:11
michele_no :)01:11
GeneralAntillesOh, joy . . . reboot loop.01:11
lcuk_2they didnt work for me in fbreader until after i rebooted ..01:11
michele_I'm sure it can be done withou01:11
johnxGeneralAntilles, install the recent rtcomm stuff?01:12
michele_it's rtcomm General01:12
lcuk_2prob can,. but is it worth a whole diagnostic session to work out when it should just work?01:12
GeneralAntillesYeah, but it booted fine just after I installed it. <_<01:12
maddlerGeneralAntilles: installed rtcom? :)01:12
maddlereh01:12
johnxwell then why did you break it?01:12
* michele_ surrenders01:12
maddlerhehe01:13
*** michele_ has quit IRC01:13
maddlerGeneralAntilles: I am waiting for the next update before trying to install it again :)01:13
maddler2.1-15 looks broken... somehow...01:13
* GeneralAntilles goes to disable the watchdog.01:14
johnxI say this to everyone...but you should really just boot from SD01:14
GeneralAntillesMeh, too much damn work.01:15
GeneralAntillesI've had 2 reboot loops.01:15
maddleromap-wp caused to reboot as well... :(01:15
GeneralAntillesHardly worth the time investment for that.01:15
maddlerno-omap-wd01:15
johnxone rsync, one quick initfs flash, one config file edit, and you're done01:15
*** DaniloCesar has quit IRC01:15
maddlerI had to disable that...01:16
GeneralAntillesjohnx, to a FAT32? :P01:16
*** michele_ has joined #maemo01:16
johnxwhy don't you run your cards as Ext3?01:16
johnxthe tablet seems to see them fine in 2008OS without extra effort01:17
michele_ok now that I have profont in xterm I can go to bed01:17
michele_'nite01:17
Tama^2johnx: yes .. "one quick..." IF it works :P01:17
Tama^2;_;01:17
GeneralAntillesBecause I put my cards in a lot of things without Ext3 support.01:17
johnx'night michele_01:17
johnxwindows and mac can support them01:18
johnxI guess cameras can be a problem01:18
johnxTama^2, did it not work for you?01:18
johnxeven if it fails all you have to do is *not turn the device off* and try again01:18
chrisakI had suuccessfully installed rtcomm a week or 2 ago, but am confused about where I should be watching re news of updates?01:19
Tama^2it boots from the mmc, gets up to the boot splash, progress bar is 100 and then gets stuck there01:19
Tama^2until the watchdog forces a reboot01:19
*** AlphaLux has joined #maemo01:19
johnxhmm, how did you copy the files to the card? rsync or tar?01:20
Tama^2chrisak: my update came up in the app manager01:20
Tama^2johnx: tar01:20
*** |tbb| has joined #maemo01:20
*** michele_ has quit IRC01:20
johnxyou installed the gnu version of tar right? or did you use the builtin busybox tar?01:20
Tama^2not the builtin01:21
Tama^2I read the wiki and it mentioned it being an x86 elf bin...01:21
johnxeh?01:22
Tama^2somewhere on the wiki it says not to use the builtin tar or something like taht01:22
johnxright01:22
johnxbut what's this about x86 elf bin?01:23
chrisakTama: thank you, I just realized I had the req. respositories disabled.  Feeling foolish.01:23
Tama^2johnx: I must have mixed up two different pieces of info there, never mind :)01:23
johnxthat's ok. I just wanted to check that I wasn't just being dumb01:24
*** aloisiojr has quit IRC01:24
pupnikI have not been able to detect a simultaneous dpad press and keyboard press on the N810.  Is this a hardware issue or a SDL problem?01:24
j0ttat least fn+dpad seem to work in general.01:26
Tama^2johnx: I am trying with rsync now01:27
pupnikhow do you detect that j0tt ?01:27
GeneralAntillesAlright, back up.01:28
j0ttpupnik: just via xkbd settings (bound to pgup/down and esc)01:28
johnxTama^2, I just used rsync, and it seems to work fine here01:28
*** j0tt is now known as jott01:28

nelsonNeoStrider_: I thought all Brazilians spoke Spanish ..... too.03:05

NeoStrider_?03:06
Xamuskactually, I hate brazillian keyboards... I have mine set as international english, and all the accents and special keys are in other places, but I type without looking at the keyboard03:06
NeoStrider_nelson:  we came from the portuguese, not the spanish people ;-)03:06
elbXamusk: amen03:06
Xamuskand I do speak a little spanish 3:-)03:06
elbI mean, I don't know what a brazilian keyboard layout is03:06
nelsonNeoStrider_: yeah, but you're surrounded by people who hablan espan~ol.03:06
elbbut I have *never* seen a keyboard layout which wasn't strictly less reasonable than US int'l03:06
NeoStrider_elb: not that diferent...but we have ç as a key after L03:07
elb(at least, for a programmer)03:07
nelsonelb: try typing on a french keyboard.03:07
nelsonelb: swedish is a little better, but not much.03:07
NeoStrider_nelson:  not really...I indeed forgot the spanish I learn't at school for the lack of pratice03:07
Xamuskmy laptop came with a "brazillian" keyboard, but the darn thing skipped a key and I would have to use AltGr to type a slash, which would be awful for a linux user03:07
elbI've only used .uk, .au, .jp, and .ru keyboards for any period of time -- they're all entirely unreasonable03:07
nelsonturkish is REALLY bad, because their 'i' is an undotted i, which is a completely different character than 0x69.03:08
elbfortunately, if the physical keys are in reasonable places, xkb to the rescue ;-)03:08
Xamusknelson, what about dvorak?03:08
elb*un*fortunately, on a lot of keyboards the Enter key is entirely ridiculous03:08
nelsontheir dotted i is down below the comma key.  hopeless for typing ASCII.03:09

trevarthanI envision a white screen where you do mouse input. hold down a button (top left button) for a click05:14

*** AD-N770 has joined #maemo11:25
liriI'm talking about the alternatives rather than the obvious c+gtk11:26

inzAnd there's quite a bunch of python programs out there too11:26
liriI read about pygtk a bit, would that run good?11:28
liriI read on some talkbacks that it was somewhat slow/heavy11:29
inzAs far as I've understood, startup is the real problem11:29
inzAfter that they should be quite smooth11:29
liriahh11:29
BlafaselI'm still interested in java/mono for me11:30
liriare there different combinations of python and gtk, I think that pygtk is one development platform but there are others, no?11:30
BlafaselBut the mono stuff seems to be outdated. At least the stuff on their webpage is.11:30
inzliri, pymaemo is just extension of pygtk11:30
liriahh ok11:31
inzliri, and on maemo you shouldn't use anything that is not gtk based (if possible)11:31

johnxthey're close enough that it doesn't matter12:57
johnxbut it will mess with your dependencies12:57
johnxbut now that you've cloned to SD card it's worth a shot12:57
johnxjust rsync a backup onto your computer, add the repos and if it fails, restore from backup12:58

johnxmichele_, it's not *that* bad13:06
johnxright now I have an x server compile going in qemu that's not much faster than an N80013:07

lardmanI wonder if that's a limitation of GCC, it should be possible to switch to and from Thumb; shouldn't it?20:25
thoughtfixt_s_o: I am waiting for an Email back from their VP in America20:25
lardmani.e. use Thumb most of the time then switch to normal mode for vfp stuff20:25
thoughtfixHe's a ThoughtFix fan - watched my "how to release Linux devices" coffee with thoughtfix episode20:25
jacques-worklardman, I dunno, the thumb / VFP limitation sounds vaguely familiar to me20:25
*** maddler810 has joined #maemo20:25
lcuk_2lard, you would have thought so, but in the document i was reading i think that brings about its own problems20:25
lardmanfair enough, I've not read the docs in a while20:26
jacques-workI guess in the general case, the space savings were worth the lower performance FP20:26
*** Mousey has quit IRC20:26
lardmanAll you need to do it compile libm for vfp then link against that, then you can do fast maths if you so desire and ignore the rest of the system20:26
lardmanyes, exactly20:26
lcuk_2hmmmm......   "It is possible to dynamically switch between the two instruction-sets, thus gaining the advantages of both."     http://www.simplemachines.it/doc/ARM_COMBO_ap01.html20:27
*** mallum has quit IRC20:27
lardmanyes, I thought so, perhaps a GCC limitation then20:27
jacques-workhmm, "possible" could mean lots of things ;-)20:27
lardman:)20:27
lcuk_2The GNUPro compilers are able to produce code for both the ARM and Thumb instruction sets, but only at a file level of granularity. Thus the programmer can choose whether individual functions should be encoded as either ARM or Thumb instructions, but they cannot specify that specific parts of a function should be ARM or Thumb.20:27

T][s][othanks for the link GeneralAntilles20:29
kulveswitching between thumb and non-thumb is slow on armv620:29
lardmanlcuk_2: so does file level mean complied file level or object file level?20:30
lardmans/compiled/end binary20:30
lardmankulve: ah, well that will be the kicker then20:30
lcuk_2it says the gnupro toolkit includes 2 seperate compilers which produce the different instruction sets, so i would say per resultant object file20:30
lardmanassuming they can then be linked together that is20:31
maddler810heya lardman... how is your course going?20:31
T][s][oone annoying thing about this keyboard is the placement of the enter key. i keep hitting it when im going for right shift...20:31
lcuk_2When the assembled object files are linked together the linker will generate special code to switch between the two instruction sets whenever a call is made from an ARM function to a Thumb function or vice versa.20:31

elbpatent terms are out of hand; 17 years made a lot of sense during the industrial revolution, but today it's multiple product cycles in many industries23:26

elbbut open and complete documentation of revolutionary processes is a *great* think23:27
elbthing23:27
czrTak, make it illegal to study to become a patent/"IP" lawyer?23:27
Tama^2a patent that involves anything but manufacturing process is silly23:27
VeggenTak: but for example in the medical business, the costs of testing a new drug is actually sky-high.23:27
Takczr: nah, just make it legal to assassinate "IP" lawyers ;-)23:27
elbTama^2: patents covering mechanical apparatus are also reasonable, in many circumstances23:27
czrlcuk_2, it's for dogs! they drag their owners and drop "packages" here and there. and they're pretty smart too.23:27

czrTak, there's a limit on how many uppers and downers the managers can take, be reasonable..23:28
lcuk_2tak ,it does cost lots23:28
VeggenTak: At the same time as it's usually ridiculously easy to copy the work of others, because one really need to know what's in a drug.23:28

megabyte405lcuk_2: if you're looking to integrate/control an existing desktop media player, try remoot.  If you just want the PC as a media server, then mpd might be a better pick23:45
lcuk_2GeneralAntilles, i know nothing about linux as i said - ive written a basic remote control for 810 which sends commands to my windows machine and works nicely, but that uses sendkeys to control the active media player23:45
