KotCzarnygrib: for testing00:00
cyberholicno wait! i mean, flash can play midis!00:00
lcukbut my cats ears are pricking and the kids are complaining so i will assume its working00:00
KotCzarnylol, lcuk, you're deaf!00:00
KotCzarnyso early..00:00
KotCzarny:)00:00
lcuki can hear them really, but they are at upper bounds, i have to turn speakers up more to hear them normally00:00
* lcuk alters the tone00:01
lcukahhhh damn kids00:01
KotCzarnydeafness doesn't happen in one moment00:01
KotCzarnyit decreases gradually your ability to hear00:01
cyberholicgeeeeesus! i am not going to respond on that "drummachine" thread at ITT - it is from LAST YEAR! *sigh* .... Last year is so... is sooooo old!00:01
cyberholiclol00:01
lcukit did for my missus, she is exactly 50% deaf00:01
KotCzarnycyberholic: so what? it will notify people that were subscribed to it00:02
*** flo_lap has joined #maemo00:02
KotCzarnyand bump it00:02
cyberholici know, i was just kidding.00:02
lcukit may reawaken their urges to play drums00:02
KotCzarnyo.o00:02
lcukwhich they will do for 5 minutes before carrying on whatever they did00:02
lcukhappy in the knowledge their lifes achievement of playing drums on their 810 is complete00:02
cyberholiclol :)00:03
KotCzarny  |> DMT (remix 2) - Shpongle (bootleg)00:03
cyberholiclcuk: i can add Levels to it!00:03
flo_lapre00:03
KotCzarnyheh..00:03
lcukincidentally, why do i have to kick tom?00:03
KotCzarnycyberholic, yeah, making simon game out of drums is nice00:04
KotCzarny:)00:04
*** jnettlet has joined #maemo00:04
cyberholickot: i have that on my to-do list already :)00:04
cyberholiclooooooooool! i played around with my drummachine and for a moment i went mad and thought i was playing something from Sepultura!00:07
KotCzarnyi'm a techno freak anyway00:07
*** Tybor has left #maemo00:08

elbAStorm: suck (broken plugs)00:13
*** Crfrodf has quit IRC00:14
AStormelb: hmm?00:14
AStormyup, they do suck00:14
AStormthat's why I'm seeking to convert USB to charge my Nxxx00:15
elbwhat broke, exactly?00:15
KotCzarnyastorm, just make an adapter?00:15
AStormthat flimsy 5V plug00:15
elbwhat *part* of the plug?00:15
AStormKotCzarny: no! it'd still have the junk plug00:15
elbmine doesn't seem flimsy at all00:15
KotCzarnyastorm: straight angle adapter00:15
AStormelb: the plug itself :>00:15
KotCzarny:)00:15
AStormelb: metal part00:16
AStormand plastic too00:16
AStormjunk00:16
AStormand twice00:16
elbhuh00:16
AStormone weekly00:16
AStormso, I'll find out which is 5V and which is ground00:16
elbseems improbable to me00:16
elbthat's labeled on the wall wart00:17
AStorm....00:17
elb(by law)00:17
AStormthe 5V broke00:17
AStormnot the 220V plug00:17
elbyes ... but the polarity of the 5v plug is labeled on the wall wart00:17
elblook at it00:17
AStorm...00:17
AStormwhich wall wart?00:17
AStormin the device? ;P00:17
elbthe 220v end00:17
elbthere should be a label with a little diagram of a ring and pin00:17
KotCzarnyheh00:18
KotCzarnyit's not the problem00:18
KotCzarny:)00:18
elband it will say which is + and which is -, as well as the voltage and amperage00:18
KotCzarnythe real problem is that i broke00:18
AStormnopes00:18
elbhuh00:18
KotCzarnyand he doesn't want do have anything with that nokia's plug anymore00:18
AStormvoltage and amperage are there00:18
* elb looks at his00:18
elbKotCzarny: right, but he's trying to identify polarity00:18
AStormyup00:19
AStormusb only has +5V00:19
KotCzarnyah, i see00:19
KotCzarnysorry :)00:19
AStormso the other has to be GND00:19
KotCzarnyand no, it's not labelled00:19
KotCzarnyat least not on mine00:19
KotCzarnybut usualyy + is in the center00:19
AStormI think the pin is live, the sleeve is GND00:19
KotCzarnyand - is on the outside00:19
elbhuh, mine's not labeled, either ... maybe because it's a european import?00:19
AStormhehehe00:19
KotCzarnymine is us version00:19
KotCzarnymade in china00:20
elbnormally the tip is +5 and the ring is ground, but you can't count on that00:20
KotCzarny(charger)00:20
KotCzarny:)00:20
elbyeah, mine is the US version as well00:20
elbbut normally things in teh US are labeled00:20
AStormelb: that's why I'll check00:20
elbin fact, I thought UL required it00:20
AStormit's easy to do once I broke the plug ;P00:20
elbbut this has a UL logo on it00:20
elband no diagram00:20
KotCzarnyinterestingly enough regular phone charger also is missing diagram00:20
*** netx has joined #maemo00:20
KotCzarny:)00:20
cyberholicdo you guys think that i can destroy the device loudspeakers with the drummachine? If i play multiple drums for a while the loudspeaker sounds like "its time to say goodbye old boy!"00:21
AStormthat's because it's non-mandatory00:21
cyberholicAstorm: the loudspeakers?00:21
elbAStorm: for at least some equipment, it's mandatory in the US00:21
elbI thought it was for all wall warts00:21
*** red-zack has quit IRC00:21
elbbut perhaps only if they carry a certain amount of power or some crap00:21
elbwell, mandatory in some locales -- but in practice that means everywhere, because it's not like companies make different parts for CA or MA or whatever states are the problem ;-)00:22
KotCzarnyelb: as i said, mine is us version00:22
KotCzarnyand is missing diagram as well00:22
elbit's pretty normal to have a little logo that looks like -Co- where the o is inside the C00:22
elbKotCzarny: as I said, mine is too00:22
KotCzarny:)00:22
*** eathprod has quit IRC00:22
elbKotCzarny: and also not labeled00:22
elbKotCzarny: but ... this is atypical00:22
AStormthe construction of the 5V plug is suicide ;>00:23
KotCzarnynot for nokia00:23
AStormit's two rings00:23
cyberholicdoes anyone of you know REST?00:23
KotCzarnyas i said other nokia's phone charger is missing it too00:23
AStormcyberholic: I don't00:23
KotCzarnycyberholic: change your nick name00:23
KotCzarnybecause you're not true to it00:23
cyberholicKot: why?00:23
KotCzarnyasking such questions00:23
cyberholic*lol*00:23
elbyeah, nokia sucks, apparently ;-)00:24
cyberholicMan, i am so much into XML and think that i am falling in love with REST but i do  not know how to parse it within php00:24
KotCzarnyelb: maybe it's nda ;)00:24
elbI just looked at my Nintendo DS wall wart, a Motorola phone wall wart, a clock power adapter, and a GameCube inline wart00:24
KotCzarnylol00:24
elball of them are labeled00:24
KotCzarnyi have thought you are talking about physical rest00:24
KotCzarny:)00:24
elbit's just Nokia ;-)00:24
KotCzarnystupid name for a project00:24
KotCzarny:)00:24
KotCzarnyor language00:24
cyberholicKot: nope, the SOAP / REST thing going on00:25
KotCzarnyfirst time i have heard about 'rest'00:25
KotCzarny:)00:25
cyberholicelb: well, the most easiest way to find out the power is to wetten your finger and touch it - i think.00:25
cyberholicKot :)00:25
AStormdrat, I've to write some AJAX with SOAP (mwhahaha) for Wednesday00:25
*** k-s has quit IRC00:25
KotCzarnychecking with multimeter is simpler00:25
KotCzarnyand ore correct00:25
cyberholicAStorm: aint that nearly the same?00:26
AStormKotCzarny: indeed00:26
AStormcyberholic: no00:26
cyberholicok :[00:26
AStormSOAP is a protocol00:26
KotCzarny*more00:26
AStormAJAX is just a technique00:26
cyberholiclike for parsing, right?00:26

AlbertoP_Good afternoon .... I have a Nokia 770 running latest OS 2006 .. My question is: Is ther a way to make a FULL BACKUP of the OS partition (from a Linux PC) so I can make my own modified .bin and whenever I need to reinstall the system, I already have a full operating copy and don't need to install the Nokia .bin and start installing all the apps .... ?00:27
AStormthat's the correct one00:27
KotCzarny:)00:27
KotCzarnyyeah00:27
KotCzarny2006 isn't latest00:28
AStormAlbertoP_: sure, it's called rsync00:28
AStorm:-)00:28
AlbertoP_lastest of OS2006 ... ;) (49-2, I think)00:28
KotCzarnyalberto: with some hacking, probably00:28
AStormalso, you can backup using the flasher program00:28
*** philipl has quit IRC00:28
AStormthus create a .bin00:28
AlbertoP_the flasher program for linux, you mean ?00:28
AlbertoP_(I have used the Nokia flasher for Windowze so far only)00:29
KotCzarnyhmm, anyone knows where fluxbox stores window positions?00:30
AlbertoP_AStorm, you mean the flasher utility for Linux, right ?00:30
AStormyup00:30
KotCzarnynvm, found it00:30
AlbertoP_cool, will check it out ....00:31
AlbertoP_thanks00:31
AStormit is really more powerful than the doze version00:31

AStormelb: how large a diode would I likely need to prevent USB burn? ;>00:32
AlbertoP_I hav not been able to find tcpdump nor btscanner for OS2006.... (eko1 repository is gone) ... ay other repositories with those packages or DEBs ?00:32
AStorm5V/1A?00:32
*** cyberholic has quit IRC00:33
lopzre00:33
elbAStorm: I don't understand the question ... what are you wanting to do with a diode, and why?00:33
elbyou can't expect to pull more than 500mA off a USB bus safely, period00:33
AStormconnect USB port power to the nokia power00:33
AStormI know00:33
AStormthat's enough for power circuitry of N81000:33
AStormit will struggle a bit, but work and charge correctly00:34
KotCzarnyelb: many products break that rule00:34
elbKotCzarny: that doesn't make it safe, or a good idea00:34
KotCzarnymostly those charging related00:34
AStormfairly advanced power regulator it has00:34
KotCzarnyi know00:34
AlbertoP_770 charges at 890mA00:34
KotCzarnybut some people will just do that00:34
elbthat's fine, I won't ;-)00:34
AStormAlbertoP_: nah, it can easily grab more00:34
elband I don't understand what a diode is supposed to do with the price of cheese00:34
KotCzarnyand then manufacturers see the trend00:34
fysasafe??00:34
AStormelb: I can put a regulator to not overdrive the port00:34
fysanothing is going to explode.00:34
KotCzarnyand hopefully fix the design00:34
KotCzarny:)00:35
*** philipl has joined #maemo00:35
AlbertoP_I know, but is what the adapter is designed to give ...00:35
AStormfysa: yeah, only the laptop can burn ;P00:35
elbfysa: you could damage the USB host adapter00:35
fysahave you damaged one personally?00:35
KotCzarnyhe avoids such risks00:35
KotCzarny:)00:35
fysain the last 5 years?00:35
AStormblah blah00:35
*** jnettlet has quit IRC00:35
AStormmost have proper regulators00:35
elbno, and it may even be extremely unlikely -- there are a relatively small number of adapter manufacturers00:35
elbbut that doesn't change the fact that you're violating spec00:35
KotCzarnyso it should be a question for someone that actually did it00:35
KotCzarny:)00:35
AStormelb: I can put a limiter00:36
AStormno problem with that00:36
*** unique311 has quit IRC00:36
KotCzarnyie. pulled more than allowed current00:36
elbAStorm: go for it00:36
AStormN810 *will* work on 500 mA00:36
elbjust don't expect a diode to do that for you ;-)00:36
fysait's not like USB was just released..  although non-standard, everyone is aware of this by now and I would take it as an exception to have a problem.00:36
AStormdiode was to prevent backflow00:36
AlbertoP_If you really want to know the aperage rating of your personal IT, plug it through a normal 2A charger, and measure the current it is pulling out .....00:36
AStormto not destroy the USB if I connect power input ;P00:36
lcuk500ma which usb supplies is under spec, but you can currently buy USB->Nokia Power adapter cable kits which work00:36
AlbertoP_Then you know how much it is going to be asking of your USB port00:36
elbfysa: if everyone is aware of it, then all devices should pull no more than 500mA ;-)00:36
AStormlcuk: exactly00:36
ImMelodyhas anyone else used the homewifilevel?00:36
*** rkabir has quit IRC00:37
lcukthe only problem i see with your method is that you are jacking onto the usb OTG port which will attempt to communicate with the host device and tell it it only needs 100ma max (which is the USB OTG spec)00:37
AlbertoP_Well, that is just an average ... you need to test at maximum usage (brightest screen, wifi on, bluetooth on, etc ....00:37
AStormlcuk: hmmhmm00:37
AStormnow that would be the problem00:38
lcuki believe to prevent that you would need to disable your actual usb which would be folly00:38
AStormand that's why I'm reading the spec00:38
AStormlcuk: not folly, just simple00:38
elbin order to pull > 100mA you're *supposed* to negotiate00:38
elb(many devices do not)00:38
AStormblah blah00:38
AStormthe spec says SHOULD00:39
AStorm:>00:39
lcukthe negotiation is part of the spec, no device can supply over 100ma until AFTER the negotiation00:39
elbactually, it says MUST00:39
AStormguess what that means00:39
AStormelb: let me check00:39
AStormlcuk: ARGH00:39
AlbertoP_That is what my motorola cell phone does to charge of the USB port (through miniUSB connector)00:39
elblcuk: a lot of devices do, though00:39
elbit's easier to simply be prepared to push 500mA on every port, then to actually switch it00:39
elbstill, I feel I should point it out :-)00:39
KotCzarny:)00:40
AStormbetter to be prepared for 1A00:40
AStorm;P00:40
KotCzarnyor more00:40
KotCzarny:)00:40
AStormsome devices sure are power hungry00:40
*** k-s has joined #maemo00:40
AStormsome take two ports00:40
lcukof course you are prepared to do that, but if you do before its ready then you will fry anything which touches the port immediately00:40
KotCzarnyi was happily running 1A hdd off my thinkpad usb port00:40
elbyes, normally devices which need much more than 500mA use more than one port00:40
AStormlcuk: yeah sure00:40
lcukthe host device cannot assume 500ma directly because that would blow a lot of lesser devices00:41
KotCzarnyand yes, it gets that much during spinning start00:41
lcuki have a 100ma keyboard00:41
AlbertoP_I hav not been able to find tcpdump nor btscanner for OS2006.... (eko1 repository is gone) ... ay other repositories with those packages or DEBs ?00:41
AStormlcuk: it's autoregulating00:41
AStormso if there is higher load, it will be given00:41
elbsome devices refuse to charge unless they *can* negotiate00:41
lcukyer, when the magic smoke appears the device stops pulling00:41
elbI think ipods do00:41
elbmore devices should be so compliant :-P00:41
AStormlcuk: rotfl00:41
KotCzarnyal bertop: gronmayer.com/it/00:41
lcukcorrect elb, ipods cannot charge without intelligent device00:41
AStorm:-|00:42
KotCzarnycomputers operate on smoke00:42
KotCzarny;)00:42
AStormI wonder what does that Nokia charger do00:42
KotCzarnyonce the smoke gets out they stop working00:42
lcukthat charger isnt a usb00:42
KotCzarny;)00:42
lcukor are you on about another one00:42
AStormlcuk: dummy, the USB charger00:42
AlbertoP_KotCz..: thanks00:42
AStormStupid Nokia could've just built that in :>00:43
*** ssvb has quit IRC00:43
elbI suspect if the device drew <500mA, they would have00:43
AStormbut then they'd get complaints like "the device is barely charging"00:43
lcuknahhh i would hate to have to open kickstand to charge, or unplug keyboard etc00:44
lcukthis isnt just a phone where you can just have possibly 1 connector00:44
GeneralAntillesBesides, no other Nokia device uses USB for charging.00:44
KotCzarnylcuk, not a problem if it was included in the place of the current charger port00:44
AStormGeneralAntilles: all new phones do ;P00:44
lcukmy phone does, but it is also a full sync etc00:44
AStormChinese now require that00:44
lcukKotCzarny, 2 usb ports?00:44
elbI'm wondering if they just send AStorm extra crappy plugs or something00:44
KotCzarnylcuk, why 2?00:44
elbbecause I really don't see a way to break this one short of some serious effort00:44
AlbertoP_A DIY kit, made out of three AA batteries with around 3000mAh should give charge to the IT replacing around four hours of outlet charge ..... and just carry around (on trips) the battery recharger ... (15minute one from Rayovac)00:44
lcukbecause i would have to keep unplugging my memory stick or my keyboard or whatever was plugged in just to charge it00:45
AStormelb: just horizontal force00:45
KotCzarny:)00:45
AStormnot too large, even00:45
elbyeah ... not seeing it00:45
AStormrotational will do the same even quicker00:45
KotCzarnylcuk: ok, that's an argument00:45
elbI mean, I'm not goign to plug it into the tablet and smash down on it or anything00:45
lcuk:)00:45
elbbut it's a relatively short lever and pretty well-built00:45
AStormI didn't do that either00:45
AStormthat's why it fails00:46
KotCzarnythough i don't use any usb devices withh IT n00:46
AStormbecause it's short00:46
KotCzarnyso 1 will be enough for me00:46
KotCzarny:)00:46
lcukbut its there for a reason00:46
AlbertoP_Even easier, just take a couple wires directly from your laptop's battery and plug your tablet there  ;):P00:46
lcuki agree though kot, it should OPTIONALLY use usb for charging00:46
AStormAlbertoP_: and fry it with 14.2V?00:46
lcukontop of the current chrager00:46
AStormno, sorry00:46
AlbertoP_zener diode  ;)00:46
elbyou think it would be stronger if it were *longer*?00:46
*** Pio_ has joined #maemo00:46
AStormAlbertoP_: and fry the diode or waste power? rotfl00:46
AlbertoP_SCR ;):P00:47
AlbertoP_hahaha00:47
AStormjust build a real step-down00:47
*** TPC has quit IRC00:47
lcuki would like to make an extended battery pack which basically extended the back by a few mm, it can have its own charging port wherever and be constantly plugged into nokia00:47
elbswitching regulators are almost free00:47
AlbertoP_I got an EE degree some thousand years ago, heheheh00:47
*** ImMelody has quit IRC00:47
AStormelb: exactly00:47
*** TPC has joined #maemo00:47
AStormlcuk: we were thinking about NiMH battery pack00:48
lcuklike this: >>> http://crave.cnet.com/8301-1_105-9713850-1.html00:48
KotCzarnylcuk, everything you need is to check what voltage is required for charging00:48
AStorm4x NiMH00:48
KotCzarnyie. if it would work on anything lesser than 5V00:48
AStormKotCzarny: 3,7V, d'oh00:48
AStormit's on the battery00:48
KotCzarnyastorm: but nokia has charging circuitry00:48
AStormit has a smart charge circuit built in apparently00:49
KotCzarnyit's not connected directly to battery00:49
AStormKotCzarny: no, the battery has inside00:49
lcukif make up the voltage in series, ampage in parallel.  just work out whats acceptable and fill the space00:49
elbNiMH AAs will provide *plenty* of amperage00:49
KotCzarnyastorm: have you actually tried plugging anything other than original charger?00:49
AlbertoP_ok, I amn going, thanks for the help ... bye00:49
*** AlbertoP_ has quit IRC00:49
AStormKotCzarny: no :>00:50
AStormI don't have a spare yet00:50
KotCzarnyastorm: tell me when you do00:50
AStormelb: sure00:50
KotCzarnyright now we are speculating :)00:50
lcukBBZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZTTTTT00:50
KotCzarnyi would be interested in external battery pack too00:50
AStormwe just don't know if 4,8V will be enough00:50
KotCzarny4x AA seems nice00:50
KotCzarnyyup00:50
elbthat, I of course can't tell you00:50
KotCzarnyanyone with a broken plug ?00:50
KotCzarny;)00:50
elbbut ... switching power supplies are almost free! ;-)00:50
lcuktheres plenty of those battery extender chargers around00:50
AStormKotCzarny: I have one ;P00:50
KotCzarnyastorm: care to try?00:51
KotCzarny:)00:51
AStormlcuk: exactly, it must be simple00:51
AStormKotCzarny: but it's broken in a wrong way :-(00:51
gribouillewhat good yexy editors are available for the tavblet ?00:51
gribouilletext editors00:51
KotCzarnydefine 'photo' ?00:51
AStormgribouille: text? like, vim?00:51
KotCzarnyerm00:51
KotCzarny'wrong'00:51
AStormKotCzarny: it's the plug that's broken, not the cable00:51
KotCzarnygrib: i believe there was an abiword port00:51
lcukastorm, most devices will work under voltage.  its just like a torch, if you replace normal AAs with rechargables you get a slightly dimmer light but it works00:51
AStormKotCzarny: crashy like hell ;P00:51
lcukjust get clsoe enough to the voltage (keeping under) and try it00:52
KotCzarnyastorm, but you can put it inside and silder wires to it?00:52
AStormlcuk: let's hope so ;P00:52
gribouilleAStorm, I dont find vim well adapted for the tablet because of all the commands that need a lot of typing00:52
AStormKotCzarny: I smell sparks... ;P00:52
KotCzarny*solder00:52
*** JussiP_ has joined #maemo00:52
lcukunder voltage == so what it might not fire up.   over voltage == danger area00:52
AStormgribouille: not a lot, esp. not for N81000:52
AStormlcuk: exactly00:52
*** JussiP has quit IRC00:52
AStormthat's why 5x AA is risky00:52
elbI installed jed on my tablet00:52

AStorm4,8V, have to test00:53
KotCzarnygrib: internet, of course00:53
elblcuk: well ... under voltage *can* mean it draws too much current, in the interest of full disclosure ;-)00:53
AStormbut first, I need a lot of spare plugs00:53
KotCzarnyi haven't tried it00:53
elb(I doubt anything as sophisticated as the tablet would do so)00:53
AStormelb: it can't possibly overdrive NiMH00:53
elbAStorm: oh, no, of course not00:53
AStormit'd have to pull like 3A or so00:54
KotCzarnyastorm: but control circuit can be too 'smart'00:54

elbare these Nokia plugs at all standard?00:54

Joe_CoThey, I have a question about the n810. A friend of mine pointed out options for configuring GPRS / Data Call internet connections within the n810. That's only for use with a synced cell phone, correct? There's nothing built in to the n810 to handle it?01:01

GeneralAntillesNot Maemo Mapper02:56
unixSnobah, i didn't realize there were two different apps in there02:56
GeneralAntillesMaemo Mapper is a GPL mapping application that uses Google/Yahoo/Microsoft/Open Street maps.02:57
GeneralAntilles"Map" is basically the Navicore mapping application, except bundled.02:57
unixSnobhmm.. sounds like something I should look into02:57
GeneralAntillesThey're significantly different.02:57
GeneralAntillesHow'd you get "Map" -> Maemo Mapper? :P02:57
trollasaurusWhich one is better ?  I'm getting a Nokia N810 for work and I might like to use the GPS.02:57
GeneralAntillesThey're two completely different beasts.02:58
unixSnobthe bundled one just gave me a popup asking me to register, or run the trial02:58
unixSnob(if I want to navigate w/ it)02:58
AStormbtw, how do I get navigation to work in Maemo Mapper?02:59
AStormunixSnob: exactly02:59
AStormit's navicore all right, with all the expenses02:59
GeneralAntillesYou get yourself a Bluetooth GPS, get a fix and download a route to somewhere.02:59

pupniki read the thoughtfix blogthread on it.12:33
AStormeven a linear regulator could do, if you're feeling cheap12:34
AStormbut then you'd get less power out of the batteries (like, 80%? and it'd heat up a bit)12:34
AStormlike, a cheap LM2575S12:36

*** kaie has joined #maemo12:40
AStormso, that'd easily give me 800 mA12:40
AStorm(with alkaline batteries - normal can go much higher, so can NiMH)12:40
AD-N770soman: gst-launch will create their own window, you need to write code to specify your app window if you need it12:40
KotCzarnystill, with 3Ah nimh you would get ~2h of work12:41
KotCzarnyon a single AA12:41
AStormyou're funny12:41
pupnikhmm maybe you'd really want 2 (parallel) x 4AA (serial) to handle the current12:41
AStormthese cost more than it's worth12:41
AStormI'd rather buy the Li-Poly BP-4L then12:41

unixSnobI want to be able to have my gps position published, in real-time, on the web or the like18:30
GeneralAntillesgpsd + an http server18:31
GeneralAntillesShould be damn simple.18:31
GeneralAntillesHeck, I'm fairly certain somebody has done it.18:31
unixSnobcool.. i'll check it out18:31
unixSnobcan gpsd access the gps device at the same time as another app (like mapper)?18:32
mgedminunixSnob: I think yes, if both use libgpsbt/libgpsmgr18:33
GeneralAntillesOf course18:33
GeneralAntillesThat's purpose18:33
GeneralAntillesto provide the gps data to multiple applications and devices. ;)18:33
RST38hweb server may not be such a good idea18:33
unixSnobi'll probably try to get a little more elaborate.. and try to immitate functionality of http://www.findmespot.com/Home.aspx18:33
unixSnobI'd like non-technical users to be able to track me.. and perhaps see my position on a google map18:33
RST38hdon't want to run it on the tablet, would probably want to make tablet contact stationary web server by http and upload positions18:33
GeneralAntillesYeah, actually.18:34
GeneralAntillesInterfacing with gpsd over the net would be a better idea.18:34
GeneralAntillesSend the gpsd info to a remote webserver.18:34

*** giskard has joined #maemo19:58
Khertan_on_n810i don t use it since the auto update feature kill the kernel and rescue kernel 3 times19:59
Khertan_on_n810i prefer less update but more stable process19:59
Khertan_on_n810it s why i use debian20:00
qwerty12That's bad luck. My kernel's been updated a lot of times but it still works, the only thing that got killed for me is usbnet so I can't use N800 in usbnetworking mode anymore.20:00

qwerty12I can't decide whether this will be a good thing or a bad thing. More packages is always good but it means that Maemo may get less developers. If that PDF from the Mojo project is anything to do on, less developers doesn't sound good. At the end of the day, Maemo is designed for Internet tablets and the like and Ubuntu is for desktops. Even Ubuntu Mobile edition has hildon as the gui.20:04

*** WorkingOnWise has joined #maemo20:20

GeneralAntillesWe have full flash on the built-in browser.20:21

GeneralAntillesI haven't played with the initfs much20:22
GeneralAntillesI assume I can change it on a booted system?20:22
qwerty12GeneralAntilles, no, the initfs is mounted read only.20:22
GeneralAntillesMount it somewhere else or change it in fanoush's flasher and reflash?20:23
qwerty12with initfs flasher, it can be done though if you reflash initfs.20:23
qwerty12Change it in fanoush's flasher.20:23
WorkingOnWisenope. If I go to iscrybe.com with the built in browser and hit the login lin I see no login dialog. If I go there with minefield, I can log in but without the menus and popup keyboard working right it is not useable.20:23
qwerty12Before it asks to flash bootmenu.conf, open a new terminal and cd to initfs_flasher and cd to initfs in that.20:23
GeneralAntillesErm, is flash turned on?20:23
GeneralAntillesWe have full Flash 9 with MicroB20:23

djcbcool21:38
MangoFusione.g. when i am searching youtube f...21:38
RST38hpupnik: The display is 16bpp, so whatever code you have drawing 8bpp bitmap will have to do color translation21:39
djcbi'm sure i can get you some better shots tomorrow21:39
pupnikyes RST38h21:39
RST38hpupnik: Color translation 1) takes time and 2) prevents it from using hardware blitter (usually)21:39
GeneralAntillesCool, that'd be excellent.21:39
RST38hpupnik: SO my suggestion is to draw at 16bpp21:39
RST38hYou will be moving twice as many bytes, true, but at least it will have a chance to make use of the hw21:40
pupniksame thing happens.  the problem is with framebuffer sync and/or making sure that framebuffer controller does not try to update more than 256x24021:40
*** _berto_ has quit IRC21:40
*** jeddy3 has joined #maemo21:40
lcukRST38h, technically the 8bit palette stuff must be optimised somewhere within sdl since its used by lots of applications and will likely be better in the general case than a single specific fix that can be put in.    but i agree in principle what you are saying21:40
RST38hlcuk: Generalized 8bit paletter will need table lookups21:40
RST38hlcuk: And no matter how you optimize them, memory lookups suck on ARM21:41
lcukand how do you propose to do color lookups without a table?21:41
RST38hNow, if you want to use a fixed 3:3:2 palette, there is a way...21:41
lcukyou still need to say palette entry 27== RGB(65524)21:41
RST38hYou write a little piece of ARM code that shifts bits to make 5:6:5 colors21:41
lcukthe table MUST exist somewhere21:42
pupnikjust recompiled it @ 16bpp jerkiness is slightly different looking at 19 and 21 fps21:42
pupnik(it's changing one define - no big deal)21:42
RST38hlcuk: the code looks longer and more complicated than table lookup, but because it is read in a pipeline it works faster21:43
lcukbut in the specific case, doing SDL at 16bit is faster instantly because its not doing the conversion.  however the conversion is required.  i said this yesterday to pupnik then slept on it and the palette code is probably the simplest most general approach21:43
*** hfwilke has quit IRC21:43
RST38hlcuk: Heheh, you see, if his emulated system has 8bit video, it is probably palette based anyway ;)21:43
lcukbut this isnt the problem as the arm can push many frames at this low resolution.  the actual problem is the tearing21:43
RST38hAnd it does not matter whether those emulated palette entries are 8bit or 16bit ;)21:44
pupnikyou could compile the source and run it21:44
pupnik16bpp21:44
pupnikAverage FPS: 60.00421:44
RST38hSo, no, if he goes 16bpp, it will not cost him extra, most likely21:44
lcukback after tea21:44
pupnikUnderruns 122,  UPS: 2.16621:44
RST38hpupnik: What was it at 8bpp?21:44
lcukpalette entries ARE 16bit, there is a table of 256 of them21:44
pupnik16bpp21:45
pupnik16bpp21:45
RST38hlcuk: Exactly.21:45
pupnikbut the framebuffer controller is clearly discarding updates21:45
pupniki have to read more about omapfb and the epson controller i guess21:46

pupnikand the tearsync doesn't exactly tearsync very well22:02
pupnikso i still don't know what's happening22:02
RST38hWell, there is one more issue22:02
RST38hWhatever goes on between OMAP and that Epson chip, the Epson chip still refreshes its display at 50-60Hz22:03
RST38hSo, whatever set of regions you are transferring to it, they can't transfer faster than that22:04
*** hfwilke has joined #maemo22:05

qwerty12_N8006 something23:15
hrw|n8106.323:15
qwerty12_N800Good news is that diablo should use 7 as the latest svn of app manager needs 7 to build.23:16
NaviEtch uses 6.323:16

*** nuxlli has left #maemo23:17
hrw|n810Navi: iirc os2008 follows etch versions23:17
NaviDid you try to build against the maemo apt libs using the version of synaptic Etch currently uses?23:17
Navihttp://packages.debian.org/etch/synaptic23:18
GeneralAntillesYes, fysa.23:18
GeneralAntillesIt's out and working fine.23:18
fysanice23:18
NaviWoo, fine.23:18
qwerty12_N800Navi, no. I didn't know such a version existed. If my memory serves me well, only a few modifications were needed for straight recompile.23:18
qwerty12_N800Navi, thx23:18
NOCmadmanquick question i just installed ssh and from xterm i am trying "ssh root@localhost" and it is giving a bad host key verification it is not even giving me a chance to enter the password. Can i simply delete the hostkey or is there something else i msut do first23:19
Naviqwerty12_N800, I search the Etch repos before I look at the Ubuntu ones23:19
qwerty12_N800I was in debian unstable :/23:19
NaviHeh :/23:19

qwerty12_N800I had to reflash my n800 because of broken newer apt and app manager and synaptic.23:20

VeggenNOC: hmm..delete the relevant entry from ~/.ssh/known_hosts ?23:20
Veggen(should say which line in the error message)23:21
NOCmadmanok i wanted verification before i tried that23:21
NOCmadmanjust moved it and it worked fine with my password23:21
NOCmadmanno clue where the key came from as i dont remember putting it there23:22

NOCmadmanone last quick question before i go back to lurking does os2008 support ipv6 ?23:24
qwerty12_N800chrisak: yes23:25
qwerty12_N800NOCmadman: with hacks, yes23:26
NaviMy omweather is borked23:26
NOCmadmanwhat do i need to add as when i do ifconfig it only shows ipv423:26
NOCmadmanoh just now getting into it not ready for any real hacks just yet23:26
qwerty12_N800A new kernel and quite a few packages23:26
chrisakok.  looks di23:26
chrisaklooks cooler then mine.  i must have missed an update23:27
NOCmadmanim to scared to break it jsut yet to change the kernel will try it in a scratchbox first just to experience it before i touch any kernel changes on the actual device23:27
qwerty12_N800I don't think you can flash  a kernel in sbox23:27
qwerty12_N800compile them certainly23:27
Naviqwerty12_N800's screenshots are always sexy, especially that cool rss applet23:28
NOCmadmanok well i will come back to that i have to leave work now boss is shooing me away from the pc lol23:28

Naviamazing, app manager just segfaulted23:33
hrw|n810Navi: normal23:34
NaviIt's a first for me.23:34
qwerty12_N800Ok, remove omweather for good measure. rm -rf /usr/share/omweather , rm -rf ~/apps/omweather and with gconf-editor, remove apps/maemo/omweather23:34
qwerty12_N800happens to me on a daily basis :(23:34
NaviYay, gmail's working23:35
NaviBah, it's complaining about certificates23:35
qwerty12_N800too many repo's and apps. app manager insists on caching all the packages.23:35
chrisaknavi, mine does too23:36
fysaapp manager is almost unusable in redpill mode ;)23:36
Navimodest should get around to adopting a multi-page viewer23:36
hrw|n810GeneralAntilles: when diablo release?23:36
Naviscrolling with a few thousand messages is a pain23:36
hrw|n810fysa: same in normal mode :)23:36
Navinot a viewer, a multi-page list23:36
fysaI would like something similar to the way Google Reader has 'never-ending scrolling'23:37
fysai.e. populate 50 items until you scroll near the bottom, then populate 50 more.23:37
KotCzarnyqwerty12: you should invest some time into unionfs23:38
qwerty12_N800CustomiseGoogle has a feature like that.23:38
KotCzarnythat way you can make a stable os, then just mount some other partition for changes23:38
qwerty12_N800KotCzarny: My bash skills are bad23:38
KotCzarnythen if you break something you just remove that overlaid partition23:38
KotCzarnywithout actually reflashing anything23:38
KotCzarny:)23:38
qwerty12_N800The module is fine though :)23:38
KotCzarnyhi everyone23:38
qwerty12_N800If anyone wants, they can take over that.23:39
qwerty12_N800KotCzarny: hi23:39
KotCzarnyqwerty12: that were my 2cents, what you will do with that information is up to you :)23:39
fysaunionfs will be excellent.23:39

NaviGeneralAntilles, I want it, but I'm too lazy to do anything about it23:41

KotCzarnyqwerty12: shell script is just a text file containing commands you would like to execute :)23:41

GeneralAntilleshrw|n810, Hmm?23:42
djcbyeah, i'll give it a try23:42
hrw|n810GeneralAntilles: diablo testing23:42
