*** _berto_ has joined #maemo | 02:35 | |
texel | 16:9, IIRC. | 02:35 |
CrashandDie | Dekaritae, TV widescreen is 16:9, computer widescreen is 16:10 | 02:36 |
*** florian has quit IRC | 02:36 | |
Dekaritae | Only one can be the standard | 02:36 |
GeneralAntilles | Dekaritae, "widescreen is a lot of things" | 02:36 |
texel | Heh | 02:36 |
texel | True enough. | 02:36 |
GeneralAntilles | er, move the closing quote up a few words. | 02:36 |
GeneralAntilles | Pretty much anything that's wider than 4:3 is "widescreen" | 02:36 |
texel | Even the HD channels can't determine what proper widescreen is -- one science channel gets it at 16:9, while others get it as 16:10. | 02:37 |
GeneralAntilles | HD is 16:9 | 02:37 |
GeneralAntilles | The tablets are 15:9 | 02:37 |
texel | Right. | 02:37 |
GeneralAntilles | Computers are 16:10 | 02:38 |
texel | But the question is: why do some of the HD channels end up broadcasting data that is off screen? | 02:38 |
GeneralAntilles | 2.35:1 is the most common film "widescreen" | 02:38 |
GeneralAntilles | But there is no "widescreen" standard. | 02:39 |
CrashandDie | you also won't find any cheap/nice 2.35:1 screens | 02:39 |

texel | mouser-: I use the supplied one, but the aluminum one looks /nice/. | 02:47 |
texel | Err, that aluminum one by boxwave. | 02:47 |

*** slomo__ has joined #maemo | 02:51 | |
texel | m looking for is more along the lines of those MacBook covers that just fit on with pressure and look a bit like a skin. | 02:51 |
mouser- | texel: I've been trying to find out the use of the plexiglass window if you can't use the touchscreen when it's on. | 02:52 |
texel | mouser-: I'd love to find one like this: http://www.iunitek.com/iunitek/index.cfm?fuseaction=shop.dspSpecs&part=2599628 | 02:53 |
texel | But for the N810. | 02:53 |
texel | mouser-: does it have a plexiglass window? | 02:53 |
texel | It didn't look like that was on it by default. | 02:53 |
mouser- | texel: On the boxwave site, it says that it has a clear plexiglass window that protects and allows the screen to be read, but I don't know how it works. Ideally, I'd like a waterproof/crush-resistant case that would allow me to still keep it in my pocket, but I don't know how realistic that is. | 02:56 |
lcuk | ribbed condoms? | 02:57 |
mouser- | Barring that, just something like that which would fit on my belt. lcuk, those would be rather difficult to get off, though they would get some looks. | 02:58 |

johnx | you might be able to use a theme with a smaller font | 09:54 |
prez00 | hmm. .. will try.. | 09:55 |
macoute | i kinda fear .debs that will repartition something on my device :S | 09:56 |
johnx | then don't use them | 09:58 |
tank-man | then read the source | 09:58 |
macoute | especially when i cant find the source code for them? | 09:58 |
johnx | unpack the deb... | 09:58 |
johnx | read the script, do the same thing manually | 09:59 |
macoute | i'll do, that is for sure :) | 09:59 |
macoute | but for the users that do not understand what they are doing, those .debs are bad | 09:59 |
summatusmentis | what .debs are we talking about | 09:59 |
macoute | if not supervised by the community at least | 09:59 |
johnx | why? as long as they come with a proper warning and instructions | 10:00 |
prez00 | does not seem to change font size...regardless of theme | 10:00 |
macoute | summatusmentis: penguinbait.com | 10:00 |
*** kkrusty800 has quit IRC | 10:00 | |
johnx | prez00, even themes that have a smaller font size? | 10:00 |
macoute | that crossed my mind when checking out the wiki-page https://wiki.maemo.org/Partitioning_a_flash_card | 10:00 |
summatusmentis | oh... and why are they scary? | 10:00 |
macoute | for fixing that | 10:00 |
keesj | macoute: so you want to try a new os without formating? | 10:00 |
macoute | keesj: i can "format" but i dont want some mysterious .deb-file to do that for me | 10:01 |
keesj | well I guess one can loopmount | 10:01 |
summatusmentis | penguinabait's .debs work well, and are probably the best way for those of us that don't want to use sfdisk | 10:01 |
*** Tuco1 has joined #maemo | 10:01 | |
prez00 | johnx i tried all the themes.. at least the ones included | 10:01 |
summatusmentis | macoute: .debs are in no way mysterious. As others have said, it's just a package with a script and binaries in it. | 10:02 |
*** W_I has joined #maemo | 10:02 | |
johnx | prez00, those themes all have the same font size...I'm talking about other themes that have *different* font sizes... | 10:02 |
macoute | summatusmentis: i know that (and i too know that .deb is not the place for a bash script) | 10:02 |
macoute | but im talking about less-experienced users | 10:02 |
summatusmentis | why are less experienced users, if they're installing these .debs, going to care that much? | 10:03 |
macoute | if they use penguinbaits deb (and hopefully find it working) will they try xxx.deb too which will brick their devices? | 10:03 |
macoute | we should try to teach the new users into understanding what they are doing imo | 10:03 |
prez00 | johnx where do i get those? | 10:03 |
macoute | and not give them the false idea of .debs that can be installed whenever you find one | 10:04 |
keesj | macoute: you are totaly missing the point | 10:04 |
*** avs has joined #maemo | 10:04 | |
johnx | prez00, maemo.org/downloads | 10:04 |
macoute | keesj: how long have you been using linux? | 10:04 |
keesj | 10 year + | 10:04 |
macoute | and how long have you tried and teach new users? | 10:04 |
keesj | every day? | 10:04 |
macoute | how typical it is that they install something which they doesnt understand at all? | 10:04 |
macoute | they=new users | 10:05 |
tank-man | you know when you run an unknown .exe on windows, you can get bad results too | 10:05 |
keesj | macoute: I don't know | 10:05 |
macoute | tank-man: that is true, thats why i dont recommend running an .exe-file whenever you find one | 10:05 |
johnx | macoute, so what is the solution? | 10:06 |
summatusmentis | any reference to penguinbait's .debs warn users as to what the .debs will do... | 10:06 |
keesj | I don't like that the .deb file i snot located on a maemo.org server or that is not build from "source" so everybody can check the quality | 10:06 |
johnx | keesj, does it contain any binary components? | 10:07 |
johnx | it's all scripts, right? | 10:07 |
macoute | summatusmentis: i dont see anything on penguinbait.com | 10:07 |
keesj | macoute: of often have you helpe people format theire harddrive? and how often has you install famoush's flasher? | 10:07 |
*** foka has joined #maemo | 10:07 | |
johnx | macoute, that's fair. poke at penguinbait to add a warning | 10:08 |
summatusmentis | macoute: how does one get to penguinbait.com? | 10:08 |
macoute | and i dont blame penguinbait, hes doing great work | 10:08 |
macoute | summatusmentis: by some html-compliant browser, i suppose? :) | 10:08 |
prez00 | johnx tks, will look | 10:08 |
*** Churl has quit IRC | 10:08 | |
keesj | johnx: it's about thrust. pbait can change the .deb file any time he like , so 100 people can say "yes it works" and ther rest is saying "it installed a troyan" | 10:08 |
macoute | keesj: and that is my point, too | 10:09 |
summatusmentis | macoute: :) heh, but seriously, the only place I've ever seen it referenced is ITT threads, with numerous warnings | 10:09 |
johnx | and a source package would change that how? or even a script with the same name? | 10:09 |
macoute | or some evil guy can crack down penguinbaits site and then deliver false version of his .debs | 10:09 |
johnx | alright, so the solution to that is GPG signed .debs | 10:10 |
summatusmentis | I guess ultimately, if you're installing anything that you didn't either build yourself, or watch build, you're trusting that it'll do what it says | 10:10 |
macoute | true too | 10:10 |
keesj | no way gpg works either | 10:10 |
macoute | but i rather trust maemo.org (for example) than foobar.ru | 10:10 |
*** fab has quit IRC | 10:11 | |
macoute | and i rather trust 100 guys who are responsible (somehow) than only one guy | 10:11 |
johnx | it's not like someone at maemo.org vets every single line of code | 10:11 |
johnx | root kits or trojans would still be possible | 10:11 |
summatusmentis | why? there's just as much possibility that maemo.org gets cracked, or someone tampers with | 10:12 |
keesj | it's about kowing the .deb file was creates from what source, and the only way to do that is to let somebody else create the package(extras' builder) | 10:12 |
macoute | summatusmentis: if maemo.org gets hacked, i trust there are a lot of users who will notice it and quicly report it. | 10:12 |
* johnx heads off for now | 10:12 | |
*** johnx has quit IRC | 10:12 | |
summatusmentis | how? | 10:12 |
summatusmentis | how is that any different from penguinbait's stuff? | 10:13 |
macoute | if pbaits own computer at his home gets hacked while hes on a vacation, itll take 2 weeks before he notices it | 10:13 |
keesj | I am totaly used to the amound ot clicks I have to press for any package. it doesn't help at all | 10:13 |
*** vik_ has joined #maemo | 10:13 | |
summatusmentis | macoute: modification of one package on maemo.org isn't that different | 10:13 |
macoute | summatusmentis: actually, it is | 10:14 |
summatusmentis | ultimately it's a level of trust, and who you trust | 10:14 |
keesj | anyway... hoppping out of this disc :P | 10:14 |
macoute | thats true | 10:14 |
macoute | and as i said, id rather trust maemo.org (and ultimately nokia) as some random dudes website, dont you? | 10:15 |
summatusmentis | so if users are going to blindly trust anyone, then they probably deserve to have their device bricked, just like any windows user | 10:15 |
lbt | I think there's a point being missed: it's not about any one repo; in general the intention is to have a main repo that is 'professionally' managed, open and relatively secure. Nothing stops other people distributing code; but nothing stops devs using the main repo either. One main repo is easier to secure than hundreds of smaller ones. | 10:15 |
macoute | and users will blindly trust anyone if we teach them to do that | 10:15 |
*** chibiAcyd has quit IRC | 10:15 | |
macoute | but if we tell them that you shouldnt install ANYTHING but from maemo.org official repositories, they will learn a valuable lesson :) | 10:16 |
summatusmentis | macoute: I'm not going to just install anything, but I generally trust someone w/ a name for themselves in the community | 10:16 |
summatusmentis | anything but maemo.org repos? you're missing lots of software then :-/ | 10:16 |
macoute | summatusmentis: and a lot of confusement too ;) | 10:17 |
lbt | it's all about risk and risk assessment. Community standing affects risk perception. | 10:17 |
summatusmentis | I agree, there needs to be a centralized repo | 10:17 |
summatusmentis | lbt: yes, agreed | 10:17 |
macoute | and we are not talking about me or you, we are talking about that guy who bought his first-ever-linux-device and now wants to do something with it | 10:18 |
summatusmentis | how does that guy end up at pb.com? ITT? | 10:18 |
lbt | users aren't stupid : maemo.org == department store. websites == market stalls | 10:18 |
macoute | "hmm, lets see, a .deb-package (these are the ones that install easily) which promises me a 100% boost (downloadable from hackers.com), lets try that one" | 10:18 |
lbt | some market stalls are superb, family run businesses | 10:18 |
lbt | others are run by "the family" | 10:19 |

*** benh has quit IRC | 11:02 | |

macoute | that is how most music players work | 11:03 |
*** atul has joined #maemo | 11:03 | |
macoute | so copy the image to the same directory as the music files are in and try | 11:03 |
tank-man | itunes/psp can read a mp3 with the cover somehow embeded in them | 11:04 |
Italodance | ? | 11:04 |
macoute | if that doesnt work, maybe you need to convert the image somehow | 11:04 |
Jaffa | Morning, all | 11:04 |
Italodance | macoute | 11:04 |
lbt | morning | 11:04 |
Italodance | the same directory as the songs can be ok? | 11:04 |
Kegetys | seems quite wasteful to have it embedded in every mp3 of the album? | 11:04 |
lbt | Kegetys: OTOH it's always available - and how many kb of image does it use compared to the size of an mp3 | 11:05 |
macoute | Italodance: yeah, though you need to have separate directories for every album you have | 11:05 |
lbt | 'cos disk is *sooo* expensive nowadays ;) | 11:06 |
wiza | lbt: thanks :D | 11:06 |
macoute | lbt: actually i just thought that the disk is becoming the most advertised part of a computer (and the single most expensive part too) as the flash disks get more popular | 11:06 |
GAN800 | wiza, Nokia's flashers works fine on Intel Macs. :/ | 11:06 |
Kegetys | lbt: I guess you can sell me a cheap >8GB miniSD memory card then ;) | 11:06 |
macoute | on a eeepc you really do value hard drive :) | 11:07 |
wiza | GAN800: umm, how? :) | 11:07 |
lbt | Kegetys: as I said "how many kb of image does it use compared to the size of an mp3" | 11:07 |
GAN800 | run it? :\ | 11:07 |
Kegetys | lbt: well that would depend on the size and quality of course... but anyway it seems like a rather inefficient and ugly solution, I'd rather embed it on the album playlist maybe | 11:08 |
GAN800 | Safari sometimes chokes on the caching system, try downloading with Firefox. | 11:08 |
lbt | and then I copy one mp3 from that album to my player - no picture :( | 11:08 |
lbt | so that won't work... next! | 11:08 |
Kegetys | not that I really care about covers personally | 11:08 |
lbt | it's actually a fairly hard problem to solve generically | 11:09 |
macoute | Italodance: but actually, a google for cover image canola would turn up this one http://openbossa.indt.org/canola/news.html | 11:09 |
lbt | any specific instance can undoubtedly be optimised for | 11:09 |
macoute | ...and that would have told you that "Now you don't need to use another application for managing cover arts and video thumbnails. The standalone 3rd party Canola Tuning application has been turned into a plugin that integrate seamlessly into Canola and give you more control over your cover arts, video thumbnails by allowing you to update and delete unused cover arts as well as select your cover art sources." | 11:09 |
lbt | but by denormalising into every mp3 you gain a lot of flexibility | 11:09 |
macoute | Italodance: so basically, install canola2-tuning-plugin | 11:10 |
lbt | macoute: I was talking about flash disks over the w'end. Did you know they can use more power than normal disks... | 11:11 |
macoute | lbt: i blogged about that one a week ago or so, so yes, i did know :) | 11:11 |

wiza | I know, just installed it | 11:12 |
lbt | apparently it's because the SSDs especially read in parallel and the current draw characteristics are worse for the battery | 11:12 |
lbt | GeneralAntilles: shouldn't infobot point to http://wiki.maemo.org/Root_access | 11:12 |

GeneralAntilles | lbt, if you want to change him. | 11:12 |
lbt | how :) | 11:12 |
tank-man | i believe you can just comment out the line that checks for R&D mode in the script to gain root | 11:12 |

timelyx | no | 12:16 |
timelyx | dpkg-preconfigure just isn't part of maeom | 12:16 |

timelyx | personally, i'd try configuring certs/osso-clock/... and see what happens | 12:17 |
atul | lbt: For installing anything it is giving me same error. | 12:17 |
lbt | timelyx: do you know about this - I'm working it through (though atul - you did a dist-upgrade this time - be consistent please :) | 12:17 |
timelyx | nope :) | 12:18 |
timelyx | my scratchbox was stolen :) | 12:18 |
lbt | I nearly rm -rf'ed mine - oops | 12:18 |
timelyx | lbt: i'd take a working box and ask it where gconftool-2 lives | 12:18 |

drako | is that information accurate? | 12:48 |
timelyx | fakeroot rm /var/lib/dpkg/*/*osso-clock* | 12:48 |
drako | that n810 should play mp4? | 12:48 |
lbt | eek - really | 12:48 |
lbt | rather than just downloading the deb and dpkg -i ? | 12:48 |
*** lardman|lunch is now known as lardman | 12:49 | |
lardman | long lunch that one :) | 12:49 |
timelyx | lbt: i consider the risk in getting an incompatible deb worse than the risk in destroying a registration for one | 12:49 |
lardman | rm_you: all working | 12:49 |
johnx | drako, yeah, up to 400x240 or so | 12:49 |
tank-man | drako, yea mplayer can play all that | 12:49 |
timelyx | however, atul is free to follow your advice | 12:49 |
timelyx | i'm off to work | 12:49 |
drako | what about the media player that comes with him? | 12:50 |
rm_you | lardman: you figure out what was slowing it down? | 12:50 |
macoute | drako: that doesnt play mp4 iirc | 12:50 |
timelyx | drako: http://europe.nokia.com/A4568593 | 12:50 |
*** lcuk has joined #maemo | 12:50 | |
timelyx | that's the official page | 12:50 |
timelyx | anything that is wrong there is nokia's fault | 12:50 |
lardman | rm_you: no, but probably something to do with the ARM being run that little bit slower | 12:50 |
lardman | rm_you: as a dsp task was obviously running | 12:50 |
lardman | rm_you: moved the input and output buffers to faster local SRAM and it sorted it out | 12:51 |
drako | i have a mp4 video and isn't playing it | 12:51 |
drako | it says codec not supported | 12:52 |
drako | try to download it from here http://www.bigbuckbunny.org/index.php/download/ | 12:52 |
rm_you | is mp4 a codec or a container? | 12:52 |
lbt | atul: try : fakeroot -f install gconf2 | 12:52 |
lbt | then pastebin | 12:52 |
tank-man | container | 12:52 |
johnx | drako, it might be the ac3 audio | 12:53 |
johnx | rm_you, yes | 12:53 |
drako | ooohhhhh | 12:53 |
drako | k | 12:53 |
atul | lbt: ok | 12:53 |
drako | :D | 12:53 |
nomis | drako: or the size of the video. | 12:54 |
drako | 800x480 | 12:54 |
drako | to much? | 12:54 |
rm_you | does mediaplayer support h264? cause i know that can be in an mp4 | 12:54 |
johnx | drako, yeah, too big. I'll try the ipod version. the psp version might work too | 12:54 |
atul | lbt, it install it says already new version is install | 12:54 |
drako | i'll try the h264 | 12:54 |
lbt | pastebin | 12:54 |
johnx | drako, anything bigger than 640x480 probably won't play well | 12:55 |
rm_you | i think i tested h264 in mplayer and even mplayer couldnt play h264 very well... it is VERY processor intensive to decode | 12:55 |
rm_you | you'd be best off with avi/xvid anyway | 12:55 |
johnx | mp4 w/ mp3 audio would be fine | 12:56 |
johnx | that's pretty close to xvid in terms of the video codec | 12:56 |
johnx | IIRC | 12:56 |
rm_you | you can get about 1200 video bitrate | 12:56 |
drako | just to know wich media es best for it | 12:56 |
rm_you | actual mp4, like mpeg4 | 12:56 |
johnx | which is totally overkill for everyone except rm_you :) | 12:56 |
rm_you | lol | 12:56 |
rm_you | it looks beautiful | 12:56 |
rm_you | i should upload a sample AMV | 12:56 |

lardman | other than me | 13:08 |
johnx | i have | 13:08 |
johnx | works pretty well | 13:08 |
johnx | for some reason it doesn't behave well when I use mplayer as a canola backend | 13:09 |
johnx | it's probably some option that canola feeds mplayer | 13:09 |
rm_you | there we go: http://www.ageofikon.info/N10-Haruhi.avi too | 13:09 |
lardman | hmm | 13:09 |
rm_you | i am about to do some comparisons, lardman | 13:09 |
lardman | might also be an issue with the ARM being underclocked though | 13:09 |
atul | lbt: Update is working fine but upgrade is not it is giving this error log http://pastebin.ca/1064516 | 13:09 |
lardman | rm_you: cool | 13:09 |
johnx | also, what was the sudden leap you made that got you from 4 seconds of audio to having it working near perfect? | 13:09 |
lardman | rm_you: I was seeing ~20% CPU usage by mplayer when using the DSP | 13:10 |
johnx | same here, at 330Mhz | 13:10 |
lardman | johnx: moved the input & output buffers to faster internal SRAM rather than slow SDRAM | 13:10 |
johnx | and that made all the difference it appears | 13:10 |
lbt | and what's the output of the last command I mentioned? | 13:10 |
lardman | johnx: do you know what it was beforehand? | 13:10 |
johnx | with software a2dp in diablo it's around 10-30% at 400Mhz | 13:11 |
lardman | johnx: yep; there are probably some other bits which could be moved across, the sbc->priv struct is large so I stuck it in (almost unlimited) SDRAM | 13:11 |
johnx | if locked at 400MHz it works pretty well but there are skips | 13:11 |
lardman | did the install script work ok? | 13:12 |
johnx | setting mplayer's cache seems to affect both dsp-sbc and cpu-sbc | 13:12 |
johnx | install script worked great | 13:12 |
johnx | would you be interested in me making a .deb for it? | 13:12 |
atul | lbt: gconf2 it is giving same error messages that i pastbin | 13:12 |
johnx | if I can figure out why it doesn't behave in canola and fix that I think a lot of people would be interested | 13:13 |
lardman | johnx: cool | 13:13 |
johnx | also, is there a way to switch back and forth between dsp-sbc and cpu-sbc without uninstalling? | 13:13 |
*** fr01 has joined #maemo | 13:14 | |
lbt | atul: if you don't paste the errors I can't help. Maybe you should try timelyx's suggestions. | 13:14 |
lardman | johnx: you can probably rename the sbcenc.o file and then it will fall back to sw encoding | 13:15 |
atul | lbt : ok i will pastbin | 13:15 |
lardman | johnx: I should add some env var logic in there to let people change it | 13:15 |

lardman | rm_you: do you have a link to that deb? I'll put in an url to my email to the list | 13:20 |
johnx | though I don't know how you have gconf2 but no gconftool-2 ... | 13:20 |
rm_you | johnx prolly does... it's in the first post in his thread | 13:20 |
lbt | johnx: we assumed no gconf2 since no gconftool-2 ... then the install said 'latest verison' ... odd. | 13:20 |

lcuk | is the verisign certificate self signed for : svn checkout --username me https://garage.maemo.org/svn/liqbase ? | 13:56 |
*** vik_ has quit IRC | 13:56 | |
X-Fade | lcuk: No, there should be a proper certificate for that? | 13:57 |
aquatix | ey, lcuk, did you release a .deb btw? | 13:57 |
lcuk | Error validating server certificate for 'https://garage.maemo.org:443': | 13:57 |
lcuk | - The certificate is not issued by a trusted authority. Use the | 13:57 |
lcuk | fingerprint to validate the certificate manually! | 13:57 |
* aquatix will download the tarball otherwise | 13:57 | |
lcuk | no aquatix im trying to get svn working | 13:57 |
aquatix | ah, kk :) | 13:58 |
aquatix | don't rush | 13:58 |
lcuk | ~lart svn | 13:58 |
* infobot slaps svn upside and over the head with one freakishly huge killer whale named hugh | 13:58 | |
lcuk | lbt, i got git working easier than all this .. | 13:59 |
lcuk | is it possible its my 810 that cannot validate the certificate? | 13:59 |
aquatix | lcuk: hm, firefox doesn't complain here | 13:59 |
aquatix | could be indeed | 13:59 |
johnx | possibly svn doesn't have the root certificate but firefox does | 14:04 |
aquatix | not using the global certificate store? | 14:06 |
johnx | all I know is that I always have problems like that with svn | 14:07 |
X-Fade | Or the intermediate certificate that verisign requires. | 14:07 |
lcuk | it doesnt complain if i open in the browser on my device either, hmm | 14:08 |
johnx | one problem with a2dp: I tend to put my n800 someplace while wearing my a2dp headphones and though the music continues I forget where I put my tablet O_o | 14:14 |
*** benh has quit IRC | 14:14 | |
lardman | johnx: triangulation, walk in different directions and measure when the music stops ;) | 14:15 |
johnx | it's affected most by solid objects it seems | 14:15 |
lcuk | ok, i checked out the bare version. i copied all the source files into that folder, i did svn add, now i am trying to commit. lardman, when you commit which folder are you in and what command line do you run? | 14:16 |
*** atlas95 has joined #maemo | 14:16 | |
lardman | lcuk: if you just do "svn commit" it commits everything you checked out | 14:16 |
*** gletelli has joined #maemo | 14:16 | |
lardman | that has changed of course | 14:17 |
lardman | otherwise you can do "svn commit ./some_dir -m "blah"" | 14:17 |
lcuk | ahhhh, so i dont mention where i want to commit it to | 14:18 |
lbt | lcuk: of course... git is the solution to svn :) | 14:18 |
lardman | no, it knows that already | 14:18 |
lcuk | i hope so, lemme see | 14:18 |
lcuk | david, agree entirely, even i got it to work :D | 14:18 |
lcuk | did this just ask for *my* root password, or for garages?: | 14:19 |
lcuk | Nokia-N810-50-2:/media/mmc1/liqbase# svn commit -m "initial upload" | 14:19 |
lcuk | Authentication realm: <https://garage.maemo.org:443> Subversion User Authentication | 14:19 |
lcuk | Password for 'root': | 14:19 |
lardman | it shouldn't need either | 14:20 |
lardman | unless your files are owned by root perhaps | 14:20 |
johnx | won't it want his garage user's password? | 14:20 |
lcuk | its asking that now john | 14:21 |
lardman | johnx: not after the first checkout | 14:21 |
lcuk | it asked for root, then my username then my userpass | 14:21 |
lardman | ah ok | 14:21 |
johnx | very strange | 14:21 |
* lcuk doesnt know his pass yet | 14:21 | |
* lcuk cries at his total ineptitude | 14:22 | |
lardman | we all join him ;p | 14:22 |
* keesj first looks up what ineptitude is | 14:23 | |
lcuk | phhht:P all i ever wanted to do was code and play | 14:23 |
lcuk | omg its "adding ..." | 14:24 |
johnx | lcuk, you need to hire an intern or something | 14:24 |
lcuk | i agree | 14:24 |
*** SDuensin has quit IRC | 14:25 | |
lcuk | i dont think my current boss would though | 14:25 |
lcuk | Transmitting file data ................................................ | 14:25 |
lcuk | Committed revision 1. | 14:25 |
johnx | nice | 14:26 |
* lcuk breathes once again | 14:26 | |
lardman | lcuk: from now on it's nice and easy | 14:26 |
lcuk | i hope so, im gonna add that to my nightly script | 14:27 |
aquatix | johnx: what a2dp headset do you have btw? | 14:27 |
*** lardman is now known as lardman|afk | 14:27 | |
johnx | motorola HT820 | 14:27 |
johnx | kinda old now, I think it's essentially the 2nd generation of bt headphones | 14:27 |
johnx | and doesn't exactly work great with glasses :/ | 14:28 |
aquatix | ah :) | 14:28 |
aquatix | good sound though? | 14:28 |
johnx | yeah, as good as a2dp can do | 14:28 |
johnx | it even has a little jack so I can use it wired | 14:28 |
johnx | sounds noticeably better wired | 14:28 |
aquatix | hm | 14:28 |
* aquatix sticks with wired then | 14:29 | |
*** bilboed-tp has joined #maemo | 14:29 | |
johnx | it is nice in some situations where wires just get in the way | 14:29 |
aquatix | btw, when using svn on my n810, i always get some error message about a lock file or something failing | 14:29 |
aquatix | johnx: true | 14:29 |
johnx | but I like my $8 toshiba wrap arounds better for comfort... | 14:29 |
* aquatix loves his sennheiser px200 | 14:29 | |
*** MoRpHeUz has joined #maemo | 14:30 | |
johnx | yeah, if you're a real audiophile a2dp isn't really an option I would assume | 14:30 |
aquatix | well, i'm not a real audiophile [not having silver speaker cables and such], but i like good sound | 14:31 |
aquatix | a2dp doesn't have a lot of bandwidth i think | 14:31 |
*** dneary has quit IRC | 14:31 | |
*** playya has quit IRC | 14:31 | |
johnx | and it's limited because the encoding/decoding has to happen in realtime on embedded devices so it's optmized for simplicity not sound quality | 14:32 |
*** m-c has joined #maemo | 14:32 | |
johnx | there are headphones that accept mp3s directly, which would be the way to go, but I don't even know if desktop linux supports that | 14:32 |
aquatix | hm, that sounds better indeed | 14:33 |
*** iomari has quit IRC | 14:34 | |
johnx | of course, then you're just a short distance away from just getting a pair of headphones with integrated mp3 player... | 14:34 |
lcuk | so now that i have added the files, if i build and reupload it wont know that there are new files (like the *.o etc) | 14:34 |
aquatix | johnx: myeah, i prefer general use headphones | 14:35 |
aquatix | and i have ogg too | 14:35 |
aquatix | and movies :) | 14:35 |
Italodance | where can i find atabake at my n800 dir? | 14:38 |
johnx | /home/user/.atabake | 14:39 |
Italodance | johnx i want without x-term want to find it by emelfm2 | 14:40 |

lardman | I agree with it sounding strange | 14:50 |
*** eth01 has joined #maemo | 14:50 | |
johnx | yeah, it seems to slow down sometimes right before skipping | 14:50 |
lardman | I was wondering if that was my encoder or the codec itself, sounds the same as the old ARM encoder did though | 14:51 |
johnx | but cpu-sbc has the same problem from time to time | 14:51 |
johnx | now the weird thing is I don't see this happening on my zaurus | 14:51 |
lardman | the skipping? | 14:51 |
lcuk | lardman, is it possible to do an audio diff (even using an FFT to visualise and see where yours differs from the other algorithm? | 14:51 |
lardman | try bumping the governor to performance | 14:51 |
johnx | or the weird slowdown / deeper sound | 14:52 |
johnx | lardman, I already did | 14:52 |
lardman | lcuk: probably yes | 14:52 |
johnx | it won't matter for sbc-dsp anyways | 14:52 |
lardman | lcuk: ah, mine doesn't differ, it produces the same output as the ARM encoder | 14:52 |
lardman | johnx: I wonder if that's just part of the codec | 14:52 |
lardman | johnx: would be interesting to play with the bit pool & other settings and see what sounds best | 14:53 |
johnx | well, like I said, it doesn't happen on the zaurus...which should be slower | 14:53 |
lardman | what version of Bluez? | 14:53 |
Italodance | well finally Boost Canola Volume rule can do it louder? | 14:53 |
*** setanta has joined #maemo | 14:53 | |
lcuk | johnx, is it possible other apps are taking cpu time away - ive noticed it with various things and know liqbase can judder occasionally | 14:53 |
johnx | lcuk, I've sat there with htop open | 14:54 |
johnx | it honestly seems like somehow buffer and period size that mplayer is getting is the same on zaurus and desktop and *different* on the tablet | 14:54 |
lcuk | johnx, ive tried that also, theres some sort of heartbeat within the nokia which causes a short cpu spike every ~ 1/3 second it never registers as a high task on top but i know its there | 14:55 |
Italodance | http://nit.psykosis.net/Milkytracker-0.90.80-1_all.deb HUH! | 14:55 |
johnx | lcuk, but if it has enough buffer it shouldn't be affected | 14:55 |
lardman | johnx: exactly | 14:55 |
lcuk | agreed actually | 14:55 |
lardman | johnx: you using the same version of Bluz on the Zaurus? | 14:56 |
johnx | and I can push my zaurus to swapping without a2dp being affected because of that buffer | 14:56 |
lardman | and which Zaurus model? | 14:56 |
johnx | C1000 pxa270 | 14:56 |
*** jpetersen has quit IRC | 14:56 | |
lardman | Angstrom? | 14:56 |
johnx | and debian | 14:56 |
johnx | both | 14:56 |
lardman | I'll build an image for my c750 and do some comparison testing | 14:56 |
johnx | let me test right now and see how it behaves in angstrom | 14:57 |
lardman | lcuk: what have you done?! Garage is soooo slooow | 14:57 |
lardman | ;) | 14:57 |
lcuk | oh crap, i told you this would happen | 14:58 |

crashanddie | yeah, I did | 15:03 |
aquatix | lcuk: next revision is only diffs, so it should commit faster | 15:04 |
* aquatix quite likes svn | 15:04 | |
lcuk | yer aquatix ive just done a quick revision already to see | 15:04 |
crashanddie | lcuk, you using git to commit to svn ? | 15:04 |
lcuk | no, i have used svn, but git was working first and was simpler to setup local branches and manage between them and seemed more ummm logical | 15:05 |
lcuk | but that might just have been first shop syndrome | 15:05 |
crashanddie | well | 15:06 |
crashanddie | I have spent hours understanding how svn worked, first time I used it | 15:06 |
crashanddie | trying to setup repos, and stuff | 15:06 |
* robtaylor uses git-svn for all his svn trees | 15:06 | |
crashanddie | with git... git init | 15:06 |
crashanddie | done | 15:06 |
lcuk | its right, its on now, ill cross whichever bridges are required when i come to them | 15:06 |
lcuk | now, next step: packaging.. | 15:07 |
lcuk | well, after work that is | 15:07 |
crashanddie | garage still shows 0 svn updates/adds | 15:07 |

*** atul has quit IRC | 15:15 | |
johnx | in the US you have an automatic copyright on anything you write, but that wasn't always the case | 15:15 |

*** atul has joined #maemo | 15:16 | |
lcuk2 | its not mine and its his decision what to do with it | 15:16 |
lcuk2 | but i dont think svn will allow me to vape from all revisions | 15:17 |
johnx | lcuk2, yeah, it's under his copyright, but if it's a derivative of your GPLed code it's automatically GPLed | 15:17 |
lcuk2 | no johnx, all it does is calls liqbase with params | 15:17 |
lardman|home | lcuk2: what code is this? | 15:17 |
* johnx is not a lawyer of course... | 15:17 | |
lcuk2 | someone wrote a python file selector for liqbase :) | 15:18 |
* lardman|home crosses fingers that BT dongle won't cause kernel panic | 15:18 | |

johnx | lardman|home, testing under debian/n800 and then angstrom/c1000 | 15:20 |
lcuk2 | but if anyone can think of a way for me to build packages on the device (and maybe perhaps possibly talk me through later) it would be good :D | 15:21 |
lardman|home | johnx: I might have missed your reply, what version of bluez-utils does Angstrom/Debian use atm? | 15:21 |
johnx | lcuk2, what are you using for a build system now? makefiles? autoconf? plain gcc? | 15:21 |
johnx | debian is on latest | 15:21 |
*** slomo has joined #maemo | 15:21 | |
johnx | angstrom 2007 is on 3.23 I believe | 15:22 |

lcuk2 | i cant get autoconf on device | 15:22 |
*** DaniloCesar has joined #maemo | 15:22 | |
jott | lcuk2: you could add the diablo/sdk or chinook/sdk repository and install "dpkg-dev" | 15:25 |
johnx | definitely look at how much apt-get wants to install before you let it install though | 15:26 |
lcuk2 | holy moly! thats an extra 28mb | 15:26 |
*** Sargun has quit IRC | 15:26 | |
johnx | time to boot from SD or get into scratchbox | 15:26 |
lcuk2 | if a package was created elsewhere is there a short refresh contents method which i could just rebuild existing package with? | 15:28 |
lcuk2 | ie do the heavy config in scratchbox, then just dailies can be done on device | 15:28 |
jott | lcuk2: you could always build a package manually.. | 15:28 |
lcuk2 | but i really must go, ill read back later | 15:28 |
lcuk2 | i might have to jott | 15:28 |
lardman|home | lcuk2: with a bit of time you could write a script to package it like the makeipkg scripts of old | 15:28 |

johnx | lardman|home, worked first try here. I just put headphones in pairing mode, made a .asoundrc and did mplayer -ao alsa:device=bluetooth | 15:48 |
lardman|home | johnx: I used your script on Ubuntu | 15:48 |
johnx | heh | 15:48 |
johnx | interesting idea | 15:48 |
johnx | aaah...you might not want to | 15:49 |
johnx | it mucks with the bluetooth settings in /etc/bluetooth | 15:49 |
johnx | it does make backups though | 15:49 |
lardman|home | does it restore the backups if I uninstall it? | 15:50 |
johnx | I ... think so | 15:50 |

lardman|home | right, so it's seen and bound now, but I've still not had to put in the passcode | 15:57 |

lardman|home | I've restarted already a few times | 16:06 |
johnx | hmm | 16:06 |
lardman|home | which way does the trust go, does the headset remember the computer's MAC? | 16:07 |
johnx | yes | 16:07 |
johnx | the trust goes both ways | 16:07 |
johnx | between a phone and computer instead of a 0000 keycode you'd pick a unique keycode on both | 16:07 |
lardman|home | and both would remember that somewhere? | 16:08 |
lardman|home | where? | 16:08 |

lcuk | its like maps | 20:03 |
Veggen | (sorry - copy it. I just do not buy the notion that copyright infringment == theft. It's still wrong/illegal, but it's not really theft) | 20:03 |
Mousey | i seriously don't get how people can still think "software" is realistically supposed to be a "business" when there's no such thing as scarcity of goods, and every consumer is also a producer | 20:04 |
Mousey | now that general computing is ubiquitous, software "scarcity" is just an absurdity | 20:05 |
lcuk | you pay for the management of the product and technical assistance - thats the same whether its microsoft or mysql | 20:05 |
Veggen | lcuk: And really, it's the same whether the product is closed source or open source. | 20:05 |
lcuk | most users couldnt care less whether theres source there, thye just know a program does whatever | 20:05 |
lcuk | agreed veggen :) | 20:06 |
Mousey | that's another thing i don't get.. why pay for crappy support when the public support is so much better? | 20:06 |
lcuk | time and energy | 20:06 |
Stskeeps | Mousey: many OSS projects suffer from grumpy supporter syndrome though | 20:06 |
Stskeeps | and communities | 20:07 |
lcuk | "ive got xyz wrong with my widget" and people WILL help you. in a public forum, all bets are off and if people dont want to answer they wont | 20:07 |
Mousey | Stskeeps, maybe, but increasingly its user communities which provide better support than corporate support organizations.. i know I get better support from this one channel than i'd ever get calling nokia | 20:07 |
lcuk | starting in irc with "I'll give $50 to the first person who correctly helps me with..........." would probably get the same response as phoning the microsoft $50 per hour helpline | 20:08 |
Mousey | the same just proved to be true for my mail server too, #cyrus helped me figure out sieve scripting | 20:08 |
*** fnordianslip has joined #maemo | 20:08 | |
Mousey | haha, phoning microsoft gets you hold music and "we don't have that problem here, reinstall" | 20:08 |
lcuk | mousey, but there is a difference here between hardware and software | 20:08 |
Mousey | #cyrus is software! | 20:09 |
Mousey | #maemo is software! | 20:09 |
* lcuk wonders how hes meant to tell what every single word means in every single context | 20:09 | |
Mousey | oh don't cop out on us now. this is one of my favorite topics! ^_^ | 20:09 |
*** eocanha has quit IRC | 20:09 | |
lcuk | but i bet lots of people have returned their nokia because you need special ninja skills to come in here and ask for help | 20:10 |
lcuk | or the forums havelet them down | 20:10 |
Mousey | there are also forums | 20:10 |
Mousey | not everyone uses IRC, that's true | 20:10 |
Mousey | but there are plenty of cases where calling support has let people down too | 20:10 |
lcuk | and if you call nokia with a problem what would they do | 20:10 |
lcuk | has anyone actually tried it | 20:10 |
Mousey | i'd love to call nokia with a problem booting from my SD card | 20:11 |
Mousey | that would be awesome | 20:11 |
lcuk | do they support the nokia sponsored products? remember we get a warning if we try to install something unsigned | 20:11 |

lcuk | mousey, make sure you do have a problem first though and you havent jumped out of default hoops | 20:14 |
Mousey | well it's way too late for that | 20:14 |
Mousey | i hang out in here, odds are pretty slim my joint's even under warranty anymore ;) | 20:15 |
lcuk | GeneralAntilles, yer, its a #maemo log | 20:15 |
GeneralAntilles | Something really needs to be done about card corruption with Maemo | 20:16 |
GeneralAntilles | Corruption on the internal card can completely bring the system down. | 20:16 |
GeneralAntilles | and the user has no way of guessing that that might be the problem. | 20:16 |
lcuk | i agree, is there a 1 click fix? | 20:16 |
Mousey | that's why i switched to ext3 internally =) | 20:17 |
lcuk | (serious) | 20:17 |
*** lardman has joined #maemo | 20:17 | |
lcuk | ext3 is a cpuhog | 20:17 |
qwerty12 | Is that a N810 only thing or affects all OS2008? | 20:17 |
GeneralAntilles | All of OS2008 | 20:17 |
lcuk | n810 only, its MMC2 built in 2gb card | 20:17 |
GeneralAntilles | OS2007, too. | 20:17 |
Mousey | so what, i'll pay in cycles for FS robustness | 20:17 |
GeneralAntilles | lcuk, an N800 with a corrupt internal card will have the same issues. | 20:17 |
*** bergie_ has joined #maemo | 20:17 | |
nomis | is that the wrong-partition-table corruption problem? | 20:17 |
GeneralAntilles | N800s just don't ship with corrupt internal card. | 20:17 |
lcuk | but the 810 came out of the factory pre-corrupted | 20:17 |
*** bergie has quit IRC | 20:17 | |
Mousey | wow | 20:18 |
qwerty12 | A quick guess would be that it's the many default processes that access MMC (metalayer e.g.), ke-recv or somthing in the kernel :/ | 20:18 |
GeneralAntilles | nomis, well, that issue is specific to the N810 and will eventually cause corruption which will lead to these symptoms | 20:18 |
*** avs has joined #maemo | 20:18 | |
lcuk | since other cards are preformatted i dont see how its an os200x problem | 20:18 |
GeneralAntilles | but the issue is that a corrupt internal card (N800 or N810) will bring your system to its knees. | 20:18 |
GeneralAntilles | lcuk, listen to what I'm saying. :P | 20:18 |
* Mousey recommends ship with ext3 and add fsck to the boot process | 20:18 | |
GeneralAntilles | ANY CORRUPT INTERNAL CARD WILL BRING MAEMO TO ITS KNEES | 20:18 |
* Mousey panics! | 20:19 | |
lcuk | i am, my card is corrupted NOW i just havent reached the broken part | 20:19 |
GeneralAntilles | Mousey, then what do Windows users do when they want to mount their cards on their computer? | 20:19 |
qwerty12 | Mousey, Maybe when all the buyers of the N8*0's use Linux as main os | 20:19 |
Mousey | what's a Windows user? | 20:19 |
GeneralAntilles | Ext* is not a valid solution | 20:19 |
lcuk | i can view Ext* on my windows computer | 20:19 |
Mousey | *sigh* | 20:19 |
* nomis fixed his partition table before the system went down for the first time... | 20:19 | |
lcuk | sshfs | 20:19 |
Mousey | ntfs? | 20:20 |
lcuk | nomis, is it a hard job and would i as a crap user manage it ? | 20:20 |
lcuk | no, my mmc1 is extwhatever and i use it daily from windows | 20:20 |
ShadowJK | hm, I inserted an unformatted card into my N810 and it said it was corrupt, then I formatted it with N810 and it worked fine? | 20:20 |
lcuk | i couldnt use it if i plugged via usb though | 20:20 |
nomis | lcuk: well, I fixed it using fdisk on a Linux box, not sure if that counts as "easy" | 20:20 |
Mousey | besides, can't ship an ext3 windows/mac driver? it's an open standard, and it doesn't cost license fees, should already have implementations for Mac and Win. seems like a no brainer | 20:20 |
lcuk | nomis, no its not... | 20:21 |
GeneralAntilles | Card corruption will also make Application manager stop working. | 20:21 |
* lcuk waits for maemo summit for technical assistance ;) | 20:21 | |
qwerty12 | That one could be avoided with better handling in the application manager, for now, you have to use red pill mode and untick the use mmc option. | 20:21 |
GeneralAntilles | Mousey, talk to Apple and Microsoft. | 20:21 |
GeneralAntilles | Community support for ext* on both sucks. | 20:22 |
*** jegp has joined #maemo | 20:22 | |
GeneralAntilles | Basically, the issue is that Maemo really doesn't know how to handle card corruption | 20:22 |
qwerty12 | I'd have thought ext support in Macs would be good? | 20:22 |
*** harryl has quit IRC | 20:22 | |
GeneralAntilles | and it accounts for a SIGNIFICANT portion of user-reported difficulties. | 20:22 |
lcuk | yer, i would have expected macs to be almost plug and play compat, cant it just slot into the mach kernel? | 20:22 |
GeneralAntilles | qwerty12, the ext2 driver is from 2005 | 20:22 |
GeneralAntilles | and it's slow as hell. | 20:23 |
ShadowJK | as a new user of N810 I find it pretty difficult to actually find information... I'm sure it's there somewhere on maemo.org, maybe, but I haven't figured out how to navigate it :-) | 20:23 |
qwerty12 | Ouch >.< | 20:23 |
GeneralAntilles | There's no reason why support isn't good | 20:23 |
GeneralAntilles | Just nobody has picked it up. | 20:23 |
Mousey | why bother contacting apple and microsoft for open drivers that already exists? | 20:23 |
Mousey | maybe they don't exist??? | 20:23 |
Mousey | haha | 20:23 |
GeneralAntilles | Either way | 20:23 |
Mousey | nevermind, clearly i'm a dumbass | 20:23 |
GeneralAntilles | Expecting somebody to install filesystem drivers to mount their card is stupid. | 20:23 |
GeneralAntilles | That's not something Nokia could ship. | 20:24 |
lcuk | that happens now | 20:24 |
Mousey | that totally happens now | 20:24 |
lcuk | plugging in usb memory sticks on lots of systems needs drivers | 20:24 |
GeneralAntilles | The ONLY universal filesystem is FAT. | 20:24 |
*** jegp has left #maemo | 20:24 | |
Mousey | ever hear of NDAS? | 20:24 |
Mousey | NDAS is a NAS filesystem that a driver needs installing for | 20:25 |
lcuk | North Devon Archaeological Society | 20:25 |
Mousey | ships with a lot of external NAS boxes | 20:25 |
lcuk | ?? | 20:25 |
Mousey | video cards all need drivers, sound cards too | 20:25 |
lcuk | mousey, i doubt most common folk come into contact with that ;) | 20:25 |
lcuk | but practically everyone knows what a usb memory stick is and that it might need drivers | 20:25 |
Mousey | it seems absurd that filesystem drivers need to be universal, but other peripherals don't | 20:26 |
*** playya has joined #maemo | 20:26 | |
Mousey | wifi cards too | 20:26 |
Mousey | a universal printer driver would be nice | 20:26 |

GeneralAntilles | Anyway, installing drivers isn't a valid solution. | 20:27 |
GeneralAntilles | Technically feasible | 20:27 |
GeneralAntilles | but not acceptable to Nokia. | 20:27 |
Mousey | i get it, i really do. | 20:28 |
ShadowJK | nokia's pc suite doesn't install any drivers? ;p | 20:28 |
Mousey | AND i'll even shut up about it | 20:28 |
Mousey | but, it's still absurd not to consider | 20:28 |
*** behdad has joined #maemo | 20:28 | |

ShadowJK | iirc, it tells me to use my PC and internet explorer instead | 20:30 |

GeneralAntilles | Hrm, what does that go under? | 20:30 |

hellwolf | qwerty12_N800, but you said diablo change the location, how could flasher be aware of that then | 20:39 |
qwerty12_N800 | re setting root device to boot from in flasher, the partition table still isn't modified but i'm too tired to explain what does | 20:39 |
hellwolf | partition table? | 20:40 |

*** sven-tek has joined #maemo | 21:19 | |
Maximander | any ideas? | 21:19 |
Maximander | (the packages it can't find are in maemo-hackers chinook main, which coincidentally throws a GPG error during apt-get update | 21:20 |
Maximander | but I assumed that would just mean they'd be unverified) | 21:20 |

GeneralAntilles | You just lack perspective. | 22:37 |
lcuk | no i dont, linux feels "heavy" doing stuff, windows dont respond like i expect. same situation with the 810, but i had no alternative on 810 than to do something about it ;) | 22:38 |
lcuk | sure, i could have found a window manager that suited, but time investment from xp didnt make it worth it. it just works and does what i want (on the whole) | 22:38 |
GeneralAntilles | and your perspective for Linux is, what, vmware? | 22:38 |
lcuk | no, the ubuntu laptop over there ^^^^ and the livecds ive installed in the past | 22:39 |
lcuk | the laptop was great with xp but ever since i put ubuntu on it hasnt run as smoothly | 22:40 |

lbt | WHAT!!! | 22:45 |
lbt | that's *so* not true :D | 22:45 |
lbt | it's all about using odds+sods... | 22:45 |
derf | lbt: Doing so also requires you to be fairly skilled in what you're doing. | 22:46 |
derf | Particularly with respect to graphics drivers. | 22:46 |
lcuk | i have been using odds and sods for years | 22:46 |
lbt | if you start the install I'll hang around | 22:46 |
lbt | and if you have any issues... | 22:47 |
derf | The state of graphics drivers in Linux is so abysmal it's very, very easy for a non-expert to get things wrong. | 22:47 |
derf | It's the number one complaint I've heard from people who tried to switch to Linux and gave up. | 22:47 |

lbt | and if it doesn't - well, you did say you were bored... | 22:48 |
||cw | derf: that's really only true of ATI drivers | 22:48 |
Maximander | and it's alot better on newer hardware | 22:48 |
||cw | nvidia drivers are a breeze | 22:48 |
lbt | and I think we can all say with a lot of confidence that you *won't* screw up your windows install | 22:48 |
derf | ||cw: Again, if you know exactly what you're doing, maybe. | 22:48 |
lbt | hey - he has an N800 with irc | 22:49 |
Maximander | nvidia is easy, intel works out of box (well, except HDMI) | 22:49 |
lbt | we're here... | 22:49 |
||cw | derf: most modern distro's have a package for that enabled by default | 22:49 |
lbt | what more does he need? | 22:49 |
lcuk | nvidia drivers..... ahhh my toshiba laptop decided to install nvidia default to the tv out and forced me to close x, drop to console reinitialize all the x confgi do binary editing on a file reestablish it all and reboot and hope for the best | 22:49 |
derf | I've had plenty of problems with nVidia drivers myself, but then I do SLI and multiple screens and servers and lots of weird stuff. | 22:49 |
||cw | intel's newer drivers are nice, can even get compiz going on an 845G | 22:49 |
lbt | derf: I run nvidia on my 3 myth boxes and dual-screen ati on my 2 desktops :) | 22:49 |
Maximander | my desktop (nforce 680 with two 8600GT's SLi) was a piece of cake to setup | 22:50 |
lbt | although my ati is old tech | 22:50 |
derf | lbt: Yes... all these things are _possible_. | 22:50 |

lcuk | the best assistance you can give to someone is to help them put the OS they got on their computer when they bought it, its been tested and known working at that point, even if its win3.1 they will have a better experience with that than tryign to use it for something else | 22:53 |
Maximander | uh, I'd say the best thing to happen to linux is uptake in the server market, where the alternatives are weak, and having a free option lowers the barriers to entry for web2.0-ish ventures | 22:54 |

lbt | (sad puppies) | 23:31 |
texel | I would love to do dev on the N810, but I'm afraid I'm not quite that good yet. =o) | 23:31 |
lcuk | performance cpu runs EVERYTHING faster - compiling in less than a minute, numpty running quick internet even a bit better | 23:31 |
GeneralAntilles | Khertan's put together a lot of good tools for it. | 23:31 |
texel | GeneralAntilles: do they work for Diablo? =o) | 23:32 |
*** Italodance has quit IRC | 23:32 | |
GeneralAntilles | Why wouldn't they? | 23:32 |
* texel shrugs | 23:32 | |
lcuk | texel, i suck compared to the guys in here, my skills are way off out the window and far away | 23:32 |
texel | Not sure how much of the underpinnings in Diablo has changed. | 23:32 |
GeneralAntilles | Packaging is still a little funky | 23:32 |
*** simon_ has quit IRC | 23:32 | |
GeneralAntilles | libssl | 23:32 |
texel | For all I know, the ABI could probably have changed since chinook. =op | 23:32 |
GeneralAntilles | That's the extent of the major library changes | 23:32 |
texel | Ah. Well, that explains quite a bit, then. =o) | 23:33 |
*** gomiam has joined #maemo | 23:33 | |
lcuk | and thats because of the upstream problem isnt it | 23:33 |
texel | s/upstream/debian/ ? | 23:33 |
GeneralAntilles | No | 23:33 |
GeneralAntilles | That's to do with WiMAX, if anything. | 23:33 |
GeneralAntilles | Maemo was not affected by the Debian issues. | 23:33 |
lcuk | yer, didnt one of the devs fuckup ssl by leaving a default salt in or something | 23:33 |
Jaffa | Removed an unassigned variable warning by assigning it to 0. Fixed the warning, reduced the security. | 23:34 |
texel | lcuk: no, the debian maintainer added a patch to openssl to "fix" a bug, but it actually severely restricted the source of entropy that openssl used. | 23:34 |
Jaffa | Of course, there's a good argument that if the unassignment was meaningful it should've been commented. | 23:34 |
lbt | from my reading the blame wasn't on one guy | 23:34 |
texel | Jaffa: hehe -- true, but wow the openssl code base is nasty. O.o | 23:35 |
lbt | good writeup on LWN if you care | 23:35 |
lcuk | thanks for the clarification, but isnt that why ssl changed? | 23:35 |
GeneralAntilles | No. | 23:35 |
*** Atarii` has quit IRC | 23:35 | |
lcuk | so that bug remains? | 23:35 |
GeneralAntilles | No. | 23:35 |
GeneralAntilles | Maemo was not affected. | 23:35 |
lcuk | i thought we were downstream from deb? | 23:35 |
avs | Downstream, and very slow. | 23:36 |
lbt | ROFL | 23:36 |
avs | Slow enough, apparently. | 23:36 |
GeneralAntilles | We are, the libssl version affected was later then the one bundled. | 23:36 |
lcuk | lol so slow we hadnt even picked up the bug in the first place | 23:36 |
GeneralAntilles | ^ | 23:36 |
lcuk | heh, that rocks | 23:36 |
lcuk | security by senility | 23:37 |
lbt | so how's the install going? | 23:37 |
lbt | <crack> | 23:37 |
lcuk | well if i put a proper cd in ive gotta close this and drop off the internet | 23:37 |
lcuk | and if it fecks up i have no way of getting back on the internet | 23:37 |
lbt | I thought you irced on the nit? | 23:37 |
lcuk | i stopped wubi cos you said not to do it that way | 23:37 |
lcuk | yer i do | 23:38 |
lbt | so you could chat during the install? | 23:38 |
lcuk | but the only wireless adapter in the house just happens to be plugged into this computer | 23:38 |
lbt | ah... | 23:38 |
* texel stabs the Maemo home applet resize control savagely | 23:38 | |
lcuk | texel, just pretend to do something else (like put it in your pocket) and it will resize for you | 23:38 |
lcuk | you have to catch it unawares - it has to think you arent looking | 23:39 |
texel | Haha | 23:39 |
texel | Reminds me of that old joke video by Hunter Cressle about the Macintosh. =o) | 23:39 |
* GeneralAntilles shakes his head at lcuk's insistence on using ad-hoc. | 23:39 | |
texel | I still don't get why they haven't fixed that horrible interface. | 23:40 |
texel | It's probably the worst piece in the whole Maemo platform. =o( | 23:40 |
lcuk | GeneralAntilles, :) if i had spare money to buy alternative wireless i would. i *know* its a problem but wtf can i do without any money? | 23:40 |
GeneralAntilles | Cut down on 2 cigarettes a day. | 23:40 |
GeneralAntilles | You'll be set in a couple weeks. :P | 23:40 |
qwerty12_N800 | ha | 23:40 |
lcuk | i spend less than £2 a week on cigs | 23:40 |
lbt | 5 weeks | 23:40 |
lcuk | and i havent actually bought a packet now for nearly 2 months | 23:40 |
lbt | I just bought an ADSL wifi router from digidave.co.uk for £10 shipped... | 23:41 |
GeneralAntilles | OK, what other vices can we curtail? :D | 23:41 |
lbt | food | 23:41 |
lcuk | GeneralAntilles, we have so little money in this house its not a joke :) | 23:41 |

Atarii | qwerty12_N800 ive just left a student house with one of those :( | 23:47 |
gourdin | anyone reading slashdot here on n8x0 ? | 23:48 |
qwerty12_N800 | :(, i'd hate going to w.yorkshire with that meter, because i'd know the electric would be gone when i came back >.< | 23:49 |
gourdin | don't you think browsing is terribly slow ? | 23:49 |
GeneralAntilles | Slashdot is fine here. | 23:49 |
lbt | slashdot effect | 23:49 |
gourdin | zomming in takes several seconds | 23:49 |
*** vik__ has quit IRC | 23:50 | |
gourdin | ok | 23:50 |
Raytray | It seems fine here as well, does the zoom thing happen for you on other websites as well? | 23:51 |
GeneralAntilles | "zoom thing"? | 23:51 |
Raytray | 16:47:04 < gourdin> zomming in takes several seconds | 23:51 |
* Raytray shrugs. | 23:51 | |
GeneralAntilles | Oh | 23:51 |
GeneralAntilles | I never zoom | 23:51 |
gourdin | GeneralAntilles: are you a cyborg ? :) | 23:52 |
GeneralAntilles | No | 23:52 |
GeneralAntilles | I'm just not blind | 23:52 |
gourdin | ok | 23:52 |
GeneralAntilles | Zooming takes about 2 seconds here | 23:52 |
GeneralAntilles | Normal | 23:52 |
gourdin | what is the matter with you | 23:52 |
Raytray | he is blind, he is just selective about what he reads. | 23:52 |
GeneralAntilles | It's not really an easy process. | 23:52 |
nomis | for the curious: this is how librsvg renders the osm-symbols: http://www.home.unix-ag.org/simon/files/osm/symbols.png | 23:53 |
*** SDuensin has quit IRC | 23:53 | |
nomis | eh. sorry. Wrong channel :) | 23:54 |
gourdin | i m not blind either GeneralAntilles | 23:54 |
gourdin | and it takes 6 seconds here | 23:55 |
gourdin | roughly | 23:55 |
gourdin | i find this a bit longm | 23:56 |
gourdin | and sorry if i need to zoom | 23:56 |
*** lcuk has joined #maemo | 23:57 | |
*** jpetersen has joined #maemo | 23:57 | |
GeneralAntilles | Eh, something could be broken | 23:57 |
GeneralAntilles | 6 seconds sounds a bit long | 23:57 |
GeneralAntilles | AdBlock installed? | 23:57 |
GeneralAntilles | Virtual memory enabled? | 23:57 |
gourdin | yep | 23:57 |
gourdin | yep | 23:57 |
lbt | gourdin: slashdot uses a fairly complex CSS setup | 23:57 |
GeneralAntilles | AdBlock might do it. | 23:58 |
GeneralAntilles | It's a pretty crappy plugin | 23:58 |
GeneralAntilles | Slows the browser WAY down. | 23:58 |
gourdin | hmmmm | 23:58 |
GeneralAntilles | CSS + adblocking CSS is the way to go. | 23:58 |
gourdin | ok, i'll try disabling this plugin | 23:58 |
*** gomiam has quit IRC | 23:58 | |
lcuk | filter on your router if possible | 23:58 |
gourdin | GeneralAntilles: addblocking css ? | 23:59 |
