GNUton | Hey guys, in the page http://extras-cauldron.garage.maemo.org/HOWTO.html#how-to-prepare-and-upload-source-packages-for-build what is the right fqdn in the dput.conf? | 00:03 |

zfigz | Where do you put videos for canola to view them? | 00:04 |
zfigz | hmmm, i think i might trash canola | 00:04 |
zfigz | just seems so bloated | 00:04 |
zfigz | allo? | 00:06 |
zfigz | actually | 00:06 |
zfigz | this app is cool | 00:06 |

GNUton | does anyone use dput here? | 00:07 |
GNUton | mikkov_: are you here? | 00:08 |
Jaffa | GNUton: garage.maemo.org - the HOWTO is assuming you've set up in ~/.ssh/config an alias of "garage". | 00:08 |
Jaffa | GNUton: You might also find http://wiki.maemo.org/Uploading_to_Extras helpful | 00:08 |
GNUton | Jaffa: thank you! ;) | 00:08 |
zfigz | I think Mplayer is better than canola | 00:09 |
zfigz | Am I right? | 00:09 |
hfwilke | canola uses mplayer to play the videos | 00:10 |
hfwilke | it doiesn't actually play them itself | 00:10 |
hfwilke | if you like the way you interact with canola to get to your videos/music/podcasts, then it is a worthwhile app | 00:11 |
zfigz | yeah | 00:11 |
zfigz | true | 00:11 |
zfigz | I'd think it'd be slower using canola | 00:11 |
hfwilke | I use mine for podcasts and music and it is great | 00:11 |
lcuk2 | jaffa! | 00:11 |
hfwilke | but it is all personal preference | 00:12 |
lcuk2 | vala from diablo extras-devel installs fine in chinook if you add the right repo | 00:12 |
lcuk2 | perhaps to make it easier, could you include it in the chinook repo? | 00:12 |

crashanddie | zfigz, I think we'd all really appreciate it if you stopped bitching about everything 24/7. Seriously, cut us some slack. If you have a problem, or think you found a problem: Help out: File a bug report. Think it lacks some kind of feature ? File an feature request. Think you can do better, and the coders are idiots ? Start your own project and write your own app. But for crying out loud, STOP BITCHING. IRC really isn't the | 00:15 |

Toba | i never use the handwriting support | 03:38 |
Toba | maybe i should | 03:38 |
Callahad | (That took almost 2 minutes to write :() | 03:39 |
Callahad | Or maybe it didn't. But it did feel like it. What are the timestamps? | 03:39 |
Callahad | (between my join and that message) | 03:40 |
derf | 4 minutes. | 03:40 |
Callahad | Hey, it only felt like two! That's a good user experience ;) | 03:40 |
Callahad | Toba, I find it more natual to drop down to handwriting support if I already have the styus in my hand. Juggling between poking the screen and using the keyboard isn't terribly comfortable for me. | 03:41 |
Callahad | Of course, I haven't found a way to hold the device that works for both the keypad and the touchscreen equally well. | 03:41 |

elekt | it'd be cool if you could write whole words then go back and put a separator between letters | 03:46 |
Callahad | Or if you didn't run out of room while writing more than a word or two :) | 03:47 |
elekt | i can write pretty small | 03:47 |
elekt | but separating the letters takes forever | 03:47 |
elekt | could get comfortable with it | 03:47 |
elekt | couldn't | 03:47 |
Callahad | Heh, even better would be writing whole words and just having them be recognized :) | 03:49 |
elekt | i think that might be asking a little too much | 03:49 |
elekt | but while we're dreaming, i could use a bluetooth mind-reading helmet | 03:49 |
Callahad | Do any major desktop / tablet implementations support that at this point? | 03:50 |
*** booiiing__ has joined #maemo | 03:50 | |
elekt | i don't think so | 03:50 |
elekt | i haven't seen palm's lately | 03:50 |
elekt | but i doubt it | 03:50 |
Callahad | Hm. I wouldn't think it would be too terribly hard for print, Look at the strokes in order, flush a letter when one matches. | 03:51 |
Callahad | You'd need conditional lookaheads for things like | + - = t | 03:51 |
elekt | it'd be terribly hard for me | 03:52 |
elekt | to make :) | 03:52 |
Callahad | The actual matching algorithm would be the hard part, but I think the stroke accumulator would be reasonably straightforward. Use some sort of unsupervised learning algorithm... | 03:54 |

Callahad | hey now, my S60 phone runs python just fine :) | 04:28 |
derf | Callahad: Online handwriting recognition isn't that hard, but you don't want to do it on a whole-word basis. | 04:29 |
*** herzi has quit IRC | 04:29 | |
derf | Maybe build it up from trigrams or somesuch, but whole words is just too many classes. | 04:29 |
derf | And don't ever try to support cursive. | 04:30 |
Callahad | wouldn't a whole word pass against a dictionary provide a useful heuristic, though? | 04:31 |
derf | A language model does give a boost to recognition rate, but you have to be pretty high already for the search to not be prohibitively expensive. | 04:33 |
*** housetier has joined #maemo | 04:33 | |
brontide | and you end up with the flickr bug | 04:34 |

mesocyclone | I am most confy with C, as I did it for a living for almost 20 years | 07:00 |
mesocyclone | and still use it on embedded products | 07:00 |
halley | I'm comfy with C also but cross-compiling sucks for hobbyists. | 07:00 |
halley | Too much extra hassle to set up on your host machine. | 07:00 |

*** mesocyclone has quit IRC | 07:01 | |
*** rmrfchik has quit IRC | 07:01 | |
gustnado | well, therre is a cross-compilation system already built for N810. I've compiled little programs and one big program (that I didn't write) successfully. | 07:01 |
gustnado | It is a VMWARE package, so you just download it, fire it up in VMWare and it is ready to go | 07:02 |
gustnado | I don't have time to do more than hobbyist stuff on this machine either | 07:02 |
gustnado | I just wanted a programmable GPS | 07:02 |
gustnado | there are about 260 people logged into this channel and it is very quiet. Hmmm | 07:03 |
Grackle | mmm. | 07:04 |
gustnado | mmm | 07:04 |
halley | Of course, setting up vmware is also an "extra hassle." | 07:06 |
gustnado | true. I run it on WindowsXP and then run my Linuxes on top of it | 07:06 |
gustnado | it's really easy to set up that way - just a big download for vmware and a bigger one for the maemo package, and you've got it | 07:07 |
*** Kt_ has joined #maemo | 07:07 | |
halley | That just sounds so backwards to me. :) | 07:08 |
gustnado | I figured it would | 07:08 |
gustnado | I have one laptop that dual boots. The Windows has VMWARE that runs linux, and when I boot Linux, the VMWare runs a WindowsXP | 07:08 |
gustnado | Unfortunately, I have a number of reasons I need to have Windows as the primary OS on this machine. Otherwise I'd probably have a Mac. | 07:09 |
gustnado | anyway, it isn't too hard to get stuff working for N810 development, if you download an existing project (I used maemo-mapper) and build it and then hack it. But building something from scratch is a bit harder | 07:10 |
gustnado | and finding the info is hard, even though Maemo is one of the best documented open source things I've run across | 07:10 |
halley | Almost all computing is that way now. | 07:10 |
gustnado | sure is | 07:10 |
halley | Easy to tweak, hard to build from the ground up. | 07:10 |
halley | Time to hit the sack here. | 07:10 |

gustnado | sigh | 08:47 |
gustnado | I see this work going into an Eclipse for Maemo, but no hint that anyone has actually used it | 08:48 |
acydlord | eclipse made me want to beat myself with a crowbar | 08:50 |
gustnado | I use it in Java all the time and it rocks. Even with C it is okay. But haven't figured out how to leverage it in Maemo | 08:51 |
acydlord | i dont like java based programs | 08:53 |
gustnado | to each his own. I do lots of assembly and C, but my main job uses Java, and I love it. I've used about 30 assembly languages and 12 higher level languages over the years. Java is one of the best (although Forth is pretty nifty too) | 08:54 |
acydlord | my main quips with java are that it is usually resource intensive, and has a penchant for being buggy and crashing | 08:55 |
* rm_you constantly wishes Java would work on the tablets | 08:55 | |
gustnado | I have rarely run into Java bugs. It is resource intensive, which is why rm_you isn't getting his wish yet | 08:55 |
rm_you | C is painful in comparison <_< | 08:55 |
acydlord | i mean java is a godesnd when it works as it is supposed to | 08:55 |
rm_you | yeah | 08:56 |
rm_you | very sad | 08:56 |
acydlord | most of my dealings with java are on a corporate basis though | 08:56 |
gustnado | Well, we use it at work for lots of stuff, and never have a problem with the language. Now if you use JEE... well, that's mostly a bad idea | 08:56 |
acydlord | where it seems a company paid a 5 year old to make an app that is essential in day to day operation | 08:56 |
gustnado | I'd like to get into Ruby more, but don't have the time, and they don't wanna use it at work | 08:56 |
acydlord | if you can do python and perl you can do ruby | 08:57 |
gustnado | there are plenty of bad Java programmers out there, since schools turn them out without teaching much real computer science. | 08:57 |
gustnado | I hate PERL | 08:57 |
gustnado | Python is okay | 08:57 |
acydlord | ruby from my experience is pretty much the extensiveness of perl with the stability of python | 08:58 |
acydlord | i know people that have picked up ruby in a weekend | 08:59 |
gustnado | well, Ruby is really very different from Perl, other than a few syntactical and philosophical similarities. It's a true OOL, from the bottom up. Perl is a kludge built on a kludge. Perl OO is just a hack | 08:59 |
gustnado | Yeah, you can pick up the rudiments of Ruby fast | 08:59 |
gustnado | Same with Perl | 08:59 |
gustnado | for tablets, I think FORTH would be really good. I once implemented a whole application, including multitasking and data comms, in FORTH on a Z80 in 32K of RAM and 2K of ROM | 09:00 |
gustnado | but the academics don't like FORTH, so hardly anybody even knows about it | 09:01 |
koyote | I had a lot of fun on the palm for a while doing pascal, assembly, and a compiled basic | 09:01 |
gustnado | an interesting mix | 09:01 |
koyote | You'd laught, but the izibasic onboard compiler generates seriously fast code. | 09:01 |
acydlord | pascal and assebly, thats taking it back | 09:01 |
*** Kt_ has quit IRC | 09:01 | |
gustnado | these days, you can generate fast code about almost everything | 09:01 |
gustnado | hey, acyd, I started with Fortran II | 09:01 |
gustnado | Java used to be slow until they got the JIT technology working well | 09:02 |
acydlord | i started with basic, and what was that one on the apple II | 09:03 |
koyote | gustnado: the izibasic benchmarks better than the compiled C, and naturally any of the byte compiled palm languages | 09:03 |
gustnado | Apple II was MS basic | 09:03 |
gustnado | koyote, that is good | 09:03 |
gustnado | and Apple II was 6502 | 09:03 |
koyote | guy who does izibasic is REALLY into it. | 09:03 |
gustnado | I still write code, for money, for the 6800 (embedded variant), in assembly | 09:03 |
gustnado | sounds like he is | 09:04 |
koyote | to be completely honest, I never would have kept looking if palm had fixed 3 things. | 09:04 |
koyote | 1: background network connections 2: the fscking old ass stupid POS web browser 3: the tether requirement | 09:04 |
koyote | 3 is hackable, but meh. | 09:05 |
gustnado | what tether requirement? | 09:05 |
koyote | you "need" a pc type machine to install software. | 09:05 |
*** hircus has quit IRC | 09:05 | |
gustnado | my problem with Palm OS are: 1) not true multitasking OS 2) hasn't improved with time. That being said, my phone is a Treo 700p | 09:05 |
acydlord | yeah, the palms were never designed well enough to be standalone devices | 09:05 |
koyote | You have to realize, my introduction to palmtop computing was the tandy PC2. | 09:06 |
gustnado | The Palms were never intended to be standalone | 09:06 |
koyote | I've always considered palmtops to be Real Computers | 09:06 |
acydlord | i've got the centro, and im looking forward to the 800 palm based | 09:06 |
gustnado | I didn't get the Centro because it doesn't have an antenna connector, and when I'm storm chasing, I need an external amp and antenna | 09:06 |
koyote | gustnado: Palms could have escaped the need for a tehter long ago. if not the coonvenience | 09:06 |
acydlord | centro does actually have an antenna connector | 09:07 |
gustnado | oh, crap | 09:07 |
acydlord | it's under a rubber panel | 09:07 |
gustnado | I wish I'd known that | 09:07 |
Mercury | What's somewhat disturbing, is that Palm's several year old PIM apps are still some of the best around. | 09:07 |
gustnado | I might have gotten one | 09:07 |
acydlord | yeah, when i bought mine the rep told me it didnt have irda or the antena port | 09:07 |
gustnado | Palm's apps are nice. Very lightweight, just the right functionality | 09:07 |
acydlord | it has both | 09:07 |
koyote | Mercury: well, they are reasonably mature and featureful. Though not quite as good as the HP PIM suite from the 200LX | 09:07 |
gustnado | I keep all my personal data in a Palm and access it using the PC desktop | 09:08 |
acydlord | i have all my contacts and business cards in the palm | 09:08 |
Mercury | koyote: I've not used those. | 09:08 |
koyote | What's amusing to ME is that the leeenux people are SO focussed on chrome and bloat that a decent PIM app hasn't materialized outside of emacs | 09:08 |
acydlord | and i can sync them between centro, pc, and NIT | 09:08 |
gustnado | I shoulda waited, I guess, until the Centro came out and I could look at it in hand, but I wanted a new phone before my chase vacation | 09:08 |
koyote | Mercury: it's old tech. really old. a 286 based PDA with CGA graphics and a week of battery life on AA cells. | 09:09 |
koyote | back in the mid 90s | 09:09 |
gustnado | I keep my whole life in the thing. I have an encryption program that runs on the PC and the palm for sensitive stuff. I use the calendar, contacts, tasks and memos a whole lot | 09:09 |
acydlord | the centro has one of the best keyboards on the palms | 09:09 |
gustnado | I try not to use my palm keyboard much - prefer to put the data in on the PC when I can. But I do miss graphiti | 09:09 |
gustnado | I wish the converging tablet/phone/PIM world would standardize a bit more - preferably on open platform. | 09:10 |
koyote | I'm running a nokia E61. I *half* wish I had my treo back, but the web browsing and email app on the nokia actually work, so I make do without a decent programming suite onboard and nonthreaded chats | 09:10 |
acydlord | i usually used my n810 as a bt kb for my centro | 09:10 |
acydlord | but my n810 is about to be sent out for repairs :( | 09:10 |
gustnado | ooh | 09:11 |
gustnado | not good | 09:11 |
acydlord | indeed | 09:11 |
gustnado | I just got my 810 | 09:11 |
acydlord | touchscreen went out on mine | 09:11 |
gustnado | I got it for one purpose: a programmable GPS that I could use to avoid the damned photo radar tickets in this stupid little town that I have to go through all the time | 09:11 |
acydlord | lol | 09:11 |
gustnado | serious | 09:11 |
acydlord | the gps isnt the most accurate | 09:11 |
acydlord | but it is mighty programmable, especially with mapper | 09:12 |
gustnado | it's accuracy is good enough. Problem is startup time | 09:12 |
koyote | The 800/810 looked so nice when I was browsing around. But the OS really wastes real estate. And the developer concensus seems to be that the machine is too weak to do what a 486 does. | 09:12 |
gustnado | My problem now is getting to where I can develop reasonably, without investing too much of my tm | 09:12 |
gustnado | time | 09:12 |
acydlord | yeah, the agps helper in diablo helps | 09:12 |
gustnado | well, of course its weaker than a 486, but hey, it's little and it runs on a battery | 09:12 |
gustnado | a little battery compared to a laptop | 09:13 |
koyote | oh, sure. A 486 with 16MB of ram would run rings around MODERN technology | 09:13 |
gustnado | The ARM is an okay processor though. I've played with Atmel's embedded ARM and it's neat | 09:13 |
robink | Amtel makes an ARM? | 09:13 |
gustnado | hey, my wrist-watch has more compute power than the first computer I programmed | 09:13 |
gustnado | yes, they do - a whole line of them | 09:13 |
koyote | exactly. | 09:13 |
acydlord | i wish the amd embedded procs would get more play | 09:13 |
acydlord | problem with anything amd though is that it's power hungry | 09:14 |
gustnado | and you can program and debug them in circuit with a $150 USB interface and theirr free iDE | 09:14 |
koyote | The 8x0 series has more power than the zaurus clamshells, but on those I could have a real X environment and compiler | 09:14 |
koyote | the nokia is "too weak and time is too contrained" to have... regular stuff. | 09:14 |
gustnado | well, I've been doing cross compiling for decades, so I don't mind relying on a PC for development | 09:14 |
Proteous | my first programing was in a RoboWars VM | 09:15 |
robink | Is having gcc on an N810 a stupid idea? | 09:15 |
gustnado | I would like to be able to do interactive debug from the PC to a program running on N810, but don't know how | 09:15 |
koyote | oh, and the "screen is too small"..... as if my main machine was better | 09:15 |
koyote | robink: I've been told so. | 09:15 |
acydlord | my n810 usually is my main machine | 09:15 |
koyote | My desktop is an eee | 09:15 |
gustnado | I think you'd have to have a really good reason to run gcc on the 810 - put it on a laptop or one of these new really small PC's | 09:15 |
* robink will probably uninstall gcc and g++ on his n810. | 09:16 | |
* robink has a scratchbox install on his desktop. | 09:16 | |
gustnado | My first programming was on an IBM 7094 | 09:16 |
gustnado | I think robink has the right idea | 09:16 |
Proteous | I moved from robowars to my HP48G | 09:16 |
koyote | gustnado: it's an OS, it should have compiler. | 09:16 |
gustnado | heh | 09:16 |
koyote | Proteous: I had a love/hate with the HP48 | 09:16 |
robink | Can you get distcc for the Maemo? | 09:16 |
gustnado | koyote, if you want that, use FORTH. It's an OS, compiler, assembler, and high level language all in one, and fits in almost no memory | 09:17 |
robink | s/the\ // | 09:17 |
koyote | I mean, the programming was good, but the form factor was a bit much and the move from the older programming language to RPL was not good from an end user or educational perspective | 09:17 |
Proteous | heh | 09:17 |
Proteous | it was good for programing stuff during math class and on the long bus ride home | 09:18 |
* robink still has his 48G | 09:18 | |
koyote | gustnado: dude. emacs is me. In fact, that's the best thing about linux PDAs | 09:18 |
gustnado | still has his slide rule | 09:18 |
Proteous | so do I | 09:18 |
gustnado | emacs, eh... never got into that. VI is my religion | 09:18 |
koyote | gustnado: you can use a vi in emacs. | 09:18 |
gustnado | and now, eclipse | 09:18 |
*** mulva has joined #maemo | 09:18 | |
koyote | lots of people do. | 09:18 |
gustnado | oh, well I just use a vi from the shell | 09:18 |
mulva | hi's | 09:18 |
gustnado | howdys | 09:19 |
koyote | The text editor isn't important. It's the lisp machine and capabilities that shine. | 09:19 |
gustnado | ah | 09:19 |
gustnado | well, only so many hours in the day to learn all this stuff, and sitll make a living | 09:19 |
koyote | BBDB, gnus, erc, wiki-mode. | 09:19 |
gustnado | btw, if u like lisp, you might like FORTH | 09:19 |
mulva | is there anyway to get rid of the feedback when ever there is an action on the 810' | 09:19 |
gustnado | and I'll shut up about it now :) | 09:19 |
mulva | ? | 09:19 |
koyote | Oh, i've done some forth, though not in a decade. | 09:19 |

gustnado | laser pointers are good for shocking heads-down workers in their cubes, too | 09:20 |
gustnado | my 5mw green one does that well | 09:20 |
doc|home | heh | 09:20 |
gustnado | hum? | 09:20 |
koyote | well, i mostly have stopped doing computer work. I'm just eternally pissed that we got robbed by the PC. | 09:20 |
doc|home | robbed? | 09:21 |
gustnado | u mean by uSoft? | 09:21 |
koyote | the whole thing. | 09:21 |
* doc|home hasn't been robbed by microsoft in 6 years | 09:21 | |
mulva | yea, like if you plug into the car | 09:21 |
*** hircus has joined #maemo | 09:21 | |
koyote | We had really powerful, true Real Computer palmtops for ears | 09:21 |
gustnado | I love PC's, but these days I work from supercomputers down to the 8 bit embedded | 09:21 |
mulva | or even headphones | 09:21 |
mulva | there this blank feeedback | 09:21 |
koyote | years, even | 09:21 |
doc|home | koyote: speak for yourself, I had nothing of the sort :/ | 09:21 |
koyote | we as a civilization | 09:22 |
gustnado | mulva, that could be electrical noise on your car power | 09:22 |
doc|home | back later | 09:22 |
gustnado | does it change frequenty as the engine speed changes? | 09:22 |
koyote | real data handling could be done. real work could be done. | 09:22 |
mulva | well, what about headphones then? | 09:22 |
gustnado | koyote, what palmtops are you talking about? | 09:22 |
mulva | I'm pretty sure its the 810 | 09:22 |
gustnado | mulva, do you only get it when plugged into the car? | 09:22 |
mulva | hasn't anyone been listening with headphones and here the little blank gaps? | 09:23 |
gustnado | I don't use it for multimedia - I just got it to as a programmable gps | 09:23 |
mulva | gustnado, headphone as well | 09:23 |
koyote | gustnado: pc2, pc6, sharp series- 1360 was my favorite. HP75, HP71B, HP41, HP42, even after the DOS revolution you still had things like the HP95LX and HP200LX | 09:23 |
gustnado | I use my COWAN D2 as a sound machine | 09:23 |
mulva | or even when I plug it in to the stereo | 09:23 |
gustnado | koyote, never played with those | 09:23 |
koyote | Atari even made a DOS palmtop that ran full msd3.x | 09:24 |
gustnado | wasn't into palm tops back then, and never played with the HP stuff (except HPUX on SMP Unix boxen) | 09:24 |
gustnado | Atari... there's a name I haven't heard in a while | 09:24 |
mulva | hmm | 09:24 |
gustnado | they had the very best PC graphics in the early '80s | 09:24 |
gustnado | for almost no money | 09:24 |
mulva | thanks | 09:24 |
Proteous | mulva, are you talking about skipping? | 09:25 |
gustnado | mulva, don't fully understand your situation | 09:25 |
Proteous | me either | 09:25 |
mulva | yea it's hard to explain | 09:25 |
koyote | now it's all entertainment. And it takes more time to computerize my knifemaking and sheduling than it does to jot it down in a notebook | 09:25 |
koyote | hence: robbed | 09:25 |
mulva | like plug in some headphones and have a listen | 09:25 |
mulva | there is this whitenoise in the backround as you type | 09:26 |
gustnado | mulva, I think you are saying that it doesn't matter how you listen to it - stereo, headphone or speakers, you hear something wrong with the audio, right? | 09:26 |
mulva | or with any actuon | 09:26 |
Proteous | how high do you have to turn it up to hear it? | 09:26 |
mulva | 48 | 09:26 |
Proteous | I didn't know there were numbers | 09:26 |
Proteous | what audio playback program are you using? | 09:27 |
mulva | canola | 09:27 |
mulva | but it's not just that | 09:27 |
gustnado | All I hear when typing is little clicks - intended feedback | 09:27 |
mulva | it like everything | 09:27 |
gustnado | do you only hear it when playing audio | 09:27 |
gustnado | or even when not playing audio? | 09:27 |
mulva | okay you hear the clicks right? | 09:27 |
Proteous | the keyboard does beep when you press the keys | 09:27 |
gustnado | yes, I do. You should hear the clicks | 09:27 |
mulva | then if you listen carefully | 09:27 |
Proteous | well, unless you turn that feature off | 09:28 |
mulva | there is noise in the backround | 09:28 |
mulva | and it stay for like a couple of seconds after you've clicked | 09:28 |
gustnado | not on mine | 09:28 |
mulva | damn | 09:29 |
mulva | then it's mine then I guess | 09:29 |
gustnado | how do u turn the volume up on this thing? | 09:29 |
mulva | advancelight? | 09:29 |
gustnado | (u can see I don't normallhy use it for listening) | 09:29 |
gustnado | ? | 09:29 |
koyote | I hate summer. It's finally cool enough to work, and it's too late to make loud banging metal on metal type noises | 09:29 |
mulva | up in the taskbar | 09:30 |
gustnado | here in Phoenix, it is never cool enough to work in the summer | 09:30 |
koyote | I never had a problem growing up in scottsdale | 09:30 |
mulva | koynote, like doing it in armor, eh? :P | 09:31 |
gustnado | taskbar? | 09:31 |
koyote | but these days work means a 2000 degree fire. | 09:31 |
gustnado | ? | 09:31 |
gustnado | koyote, no one has a problem growing up in it ;-) | 09:31 |

gustnado | mine has little people in top left. Next down on left is the little blocks - that's probably what u mean | 09:33 |

gustnado | koyote, I live in a county island between PV and PHX, and can't drive anywhere without going through PV and by their damned photo radar vans | 09:34 |

*** hircus has quit IRC | 09:34 | |
gustnado | i think so | 09:34 |
koyote | gustnado: never cared much for PV in general, even back in the 80s | 09:34 |
gustnado | they have a snooty attitude | 09:35 |
koyote | always have | 09:35 |
gustnado | and I've lived here since 86 | 09:35 |
mulva | koyote is there anything under kilts? | 09:35 |
gustnado | mulva | 09:35 |
koyote | mulva: in my case, knives. and boots. | 09:35 |
mulva | I mean to wear :p | 09:35 |
gustnado | I turned the volume all the way up (had to run a player)... | 09:35 |

gustnado | sorry | 09:37 |
mulva | no need to be ! | 09:37 |
gustnado | am an elec engineer, thought I might be able to help troubleshoot | 09:37 |
koyote | ah, good. enough distraction here means I've had 3 beers and now I won't try and finish this stupid sheath tonight | 09:37 |
mulva | I have another question | 09:37 |
gustnado | and what do you do with those knives? Sell them? or are you into midieval stuff or sumpn | 09:37 |
gustnado | ? | 09:37 |
koyote | oh. I'm a bladesmith. | 09:37 |
mulva | any way to make this OS transparent? | 09:38 |
gustnado | define "transparent" in this context | 09:38 |
koyote | I gave up geekery for knifemaking. It makes no financial sense but sure as hell is more fun | 09:38 |
mulva | so when the windows layer up its transparent, and you can see through them | 09:38 |
mulva | rather them being solid? | 09:38 |
gustnado | you could probably do that in an app, I'm guessing, with GTK, but otherwise,don't think so | 09:39 |
mulva | ah | 09:39 |
mulva | too bad | 09:39 |
gustnado | don't take my word as gospel | 09:39 |
mulva | I don't know why that is not an option | 09:39 |
gustnado | I'm the guy who doesn't know how to adjust the volume | 09:39 |
gustnado | without running a player app | 09:39 |
mulva | cause it makes sense to do so | 09:39 |
gustnado | well, it's linux. Do u know of linux distros where u can do that without programming? | 09:40 |
*** rm_you has quit IRC | 09:40 | |
mulva | I dont know anything about linux, except that penguin | 09:40 |
gustnado | well, I haven't done graphjics programming on it, so I'm hardly an expert. I do lots of linux work, just not with graphics | 09:41 |
gustnado | or iif I do graphics, its in Java | 09:41 |
gustnado | or HTML | 09:41 |
koyote | transparency would make you emacs frames very confusing | 09:41 |
koyote | ;) | 09:41 |
gustnado | transparency could cause all sorts of weirdness | 09:41 |
gustnado | but selective transparency could be useful | 09:42 |
gustnado | btw, when u say emacs, you mean THE emacs of long time Unix fame, right? | 09:42 |
pupnik | i could make an xterm with transparency if you want - for the desktop background | 09:42 |
gustnado | how would u do that? | 09:42 |
koyote | gustnado: yesssssssss. That's what I'm ircing in | 09:42 |
pupnik | grab the background image and draw it in the xterm window | 09:42 |

koyote | um... | 09:53 |
gustnado | what caliber is the m209 | 09:53 |
koyote | avery? | 09:53 |

gustnado | Carefree Highway and I17 | 09:53 |
gustnado | When I was last at Usery, a biker next to us was blasting away with a Barret .50 - what a cannon | 09:53 |
koyote | I haven't been in a while. since I live several hundred miles away | 09:53 |
gustnado | they wouldn't let him shoot at the metal target because it would blow it away | 09:54 |
acydlord | it's a 50 | 09:54 |
gustnado | big critter, then | 09:54 |
acydlord | yeah, they dont let much above a 357 shoot at the pistol range | 09:54 |
gustnado | I'm talking about the rifle rane | 09:55 |
gustnado | range | 09:55 |
gustnado | I work near SDL gun club, which has a nice indoor range | 09:55 |
gustnado | I should use it more | 09:55 |
acydlord | scotts gun club is nice | 09:55 |
gustnado | yep | 09:55 |
acydlord | i used to go there alot with my old m16 when i had a membership | 09:55 |
gustnado | m16 - a noble weapon | 09:56 |
acydlord | indeed | 09:56 |
gustnado | when I was in the service, the smallest thing we could fire was 70mm | 09:56 |
acydlord | i'm probably going to buy a 22 rifle and mod it for a target weapin though | 09:56 |
gustnado | I've still got a .22 from when I was a kid | 09:57 |
gustnado | never use it though. Also have this wicked deadly .22 pellet rifle | 09:57 |
gustnado | used to hunt rabbits with it | 09:57 |
acydlord | 22s are nice for targer shooting, you can buy a metric ton of rounds for $20 | 09:58 |
gustnado | exactly | 09:58 |
*** juergbi has joined #maemo | 09:58 | |
gustnado | ak rounds are cheap too, but an AK is hardly an interesting target weapon | 09:58 |
acydlord | i'm probably gonna buy a 10-22 and throw an ar-22 mod or a bullpup stock on it | 09:58 |
gustnado | and SDL gun club won't let u use the cheap chinese ammo cause it too often has steel in it | 09:59 |
gustnado | ah | 09:59 |
acydlord | yeah | 09:59 |
acydlord | i accidentally took some HEI rounds for my 45 in there once | 09:59 |
acydlord | they were none too happy | 09:59 |
gustnado | err... where did u get those? When I was a kid I used to make them, but aren't they class III? | 10:00 |
acydlord | i have a class 2 license | 10:01 |
gustnado | ah | 10:01 |

Stskeeps | Cptnodegard: i'm around, but may only be able to help if i know what the issue is :) | 12:26 |
Cptnodegard | osso backup freezes with me | 12:26 |
Cptnodegard | after searching ITT i found that claws is causing it | 12:26 |
Cptnodegard | there was a solution involving xterm and whatnot but im not a linux guy and have tried to stay away from that stuff, so i just uninstalled it | 12:27 |
Cptnodegard | which didnt work | 12:27 |
Cptnodegard | because apparently it leaves some shit behind or something | 12:27 |
Cptnodegard | http://www.internettablettalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=16627 | 12:27 |
Cptnodegard | "Are you using Claws and are you confortable with xterm and becomeroot? | 12:27 |
Cptnodegard | If no please ignore the rest.. | 12:27 |
Cptnodegard | If yes could you do the following? | 12:27 |
Cptnodegard | " | 12:27 |
Cptnodegard | no im not comfortable with those xd | 12:28 |
Stskeeps | do you have the becomeroot or rootsh thing installed? | 12:28 |
Cptnodegard | no | 12:29 |
Stskeeps | and those are comfortable commands, nothing dangerous in them :P | 12:29 |
Cptnodegard | dont even know what they are | 12:29 |
Stskeeps | alright, it's stuff that gives you full access to your tablet | 12:29 |
Stskeeps | to fix issues like this | 12:29 |
Stskeeps | in Application Manager, install the program from Maemo extras, called 'rootsh' | 12:29 |
Stskeeps | (i assume you know how to enable maemo extras?) | 12:30 |
Cptnodegard | yeah not that dense | 12:30 |
Cptnodegard | close, but not that much :) | 12:30 |
Cptnodegard | installed | 12:30 |
Stskeeps | okay, open your X Terminal application under 'Utilities' | 12:31 |
*** eton has quit IRC | 12:31 | |
Stskeeps | type 'sudo gainroot' without the 's | 12:31 |
Cptnodegard | cant i just delete the claws folder with ssh? | 12:31 |
Cptnodegard | asi see theres still such a folder there after the uninstall | 12:32 |
Stskeeps | you can try i guess, it shouldn't be harmful | 12:32 |
Stskeeps | i'm just wondering if the claws-mail.conf file in osso-backup is still there though | 12:32 |
Cptnodegard | meh ill do the xterm thing. guess that still works after i uninstalled claws because its telling osso backup to ignore claws (?) | 12:33 |
Cptnodegard | xterm open | 12:33 |
Stskeeps | yeah, it moves claws out of the way of the eye of osso backup | 12:33 |
Cptnodegard | just do the lines in that foru m thread in xterm? | 12:34 |
Stskeeps | yes, the first box | 12:34 |
Stskeeps | if you get any errors, do tell me | 12:34 |
*** eton_ has quit IRC | 12:35 | |
Cptnodegard | woo it worked :D thanks a bunch | 12:36 |
Cptnodegard | now all i need is a newsletter tellingme when diablo is stable xD | 12:36 |
Stskeeps | heh, i haven't upgraded to diablo yet, i'm just focusing on making a good Debian :P | 12:37 |
Cptnodegard | i didnt upgrade because nothing seems to work on it and my backup didnt work | 12:37 |
Cptnodegard | how much does backup backup anyways? | 12:37 |
Stskeeps | no clue.. i don't use it | 12:37 |
Cptnodegard | meaning what will happeen if i install diablo and select restore? | 12:37 |
Cptnodegard | ah | 12:37 |
Veggen | I had no problems with restore (that I know of) | 12:38 |
Cptnodegard | yeah but what exactly does it restore? does it automatically start istalling your old apps and such? | 12:38 |
Cptnodegard | because i have no clue what apps i have installed | 12:38 |
Veggen | yes. well, you can choose. | 12:38 |
Veggen | and it likely won't be able to install all :) | 12:39 |
Cptnodegard | lol i know, hence my other reason not to upgrade | 12:39 |
Cptnodegard | the way i figure it my tablet isnt broken so i dont have any reason to fix it | 12:39 |
Cptnodegard | slash upgrade | 12:39 |
Cptnodegard | another Q... i installed diskusage. it shows 100% on /dev/root. wtf does that mean? | 12:40 |
Stskeeps | not 100% sure, but remember there's a initial filesystem mounted when the tablet boots | 12:41 |
Stskeeps | and that's full | 12:41 |
Cptnodegard | ah | 12:41 |

zap | I can do dbus-launch myprog, but I want to launch it by interface name, something like dbus-launch org.maemo.myprog | 15:42 |
zap | because for some reason it does not start from the menu, but starts fine from command line | 15:43 |
crashanddie | something like this, I guess | 15:43 |
crashanddie | dbus-send --system --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.osso_browser \ | 15:43 |

crashanddie | zap, like, right click on a file, and select "send to NIT" | 15:45 |
*** eton has quit IRC | 15:46 | |
zap | via what? | 15:47 |
crashanddie | zap, I use osso to open a file based on its MIME extension through DBUS, if you want, I can share the results of my work | 15:47 |
crashanddie | zap, I wrote a small daemon which accepts a link/url and opens it | 15:47 |

*** brontide has quit IRC | 15:48 | |
lcuk | zap - its gonna be a wicked simple thing | 15:48 |

* lcuk thinkgs crashanddie's idea is great | 15:49 | |
crashanddie | lcuk, feature request, enable the liqbase editor to be launched from DBUS so that I could send a source file real quick :P | 15:49 |
crashanddie | well, it already works :) | 15:50 |

lcuk | crashanddie, does every application need to register itself in DBUS, and does it need app changes and a daemon or once registered for a MIME type it will call the registered binary with params? | 15:54 |

Jaffa | lcuk: cool stuff (on vala) | 15:58 |
Jaffa | lcuk: put some notes on using it from the tablet in the wiki page? | 15:59 |
lcuk | i compiled a total of 2 programs (hello world and the cairo demo) | 16:00 |
lcuk | its unfortunately too slow for me to do more with for now | 16:00 |
lcuk | but that may change | 16:00 |
Jaffa | Yeah, it's faster than C++ but not as fast as native C it seems due to the garbage collection/ref counting overhead | 16:01 |
*** _matthias_ has quit IRC | 16:01 | |
lcuk | if the bindings for liqbase work then it becomes possible to use more | 16:01 |
lcuk | actually its slower than c++ | 16:01 |
lcuk | maybe end code is faster, but compilation is slower | 16:01 |
Jaffa | ah, perhaps. | 16:02 |
lcuk | its a seriously interesting project though and im gonna keep hacking away at it | 16:02 |
lcuk | im thinking of a possible scenario for all this kind of compilation where i use a webservice for building | 16:02 |
Jaffa | that could be cool | 16:02 |
lcuk | like your autobuilder but on a private server | 16:02 |
lcuk | sync or svn or git the changes up, build the modified elements and send me the binary | 16:03 |
Jaffa | You could approach it as a CI (continuous integration) and use svn as your backend. Every commit gets rebuilt and you can download the binary a few seconds later | 16:03 |
*** L0cutus has joined #maemo | 16:03 | |
lcuk | yes, like now i only build the couple of modules that have changed on a normal make | 16:04 |
lcuk | after gaining the freedom to compile on the go, im loathed to give it up | 16:04 |
lcuk | obviously better hardware would negate the slowness but im thinking with whats around now. either that or i can just stick with native fast c for now | 16:05 |

*** lindever__ has quit IRC | 16:22 | |
Jaffa | RST38h: what do you mean? | 16:22 |
sp3000 | Jaffa: useful if you have testers with time for regression bisecting but no build env | 16:22 |
*** lindever__ has joined #maemo | 16:23 | |
Jaffa | Useful for all manner of reasons. For example, your unit tests get run as part of the build, and if any fail the build is marked as a failure and notification sent to the committer + anyone else relevant. | 16:23 |
sp3000 | a random example of another approach is http://wiki.mozilla.org/Build:TryServer | 16:24 |
sp3000 | or, "how to run tests on a bunch of platforms, too" | 16:25 |
Jaffa | Interesting | 16:25 |
sp3000 | and, say, http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/tinderbox-builds/comm-central-linux/ for the other one | 16:28 |

RST38h | Jaffa: I mean that a trivial change to a header file may cause the complete project recompilation when committrd | 16:46 |
RST38h | Jaffa: and THEN you are forced to download 100-800k executable back from svn | 16:47 |
RST38h | and there may be multiple developers using the same server too | 16:47 |
*** alextreempje has joined #maemo | 16:47 | |

lcuk | RST38h, there will be a breakeven point between local compilation and uploading modified source and downloading the completely binary. currently even simple basic applications in vala take > 45 seconds to compile in vala on the device. any improvement on that is great news for me. same principle applies for most other slower languages, but with different breakeven poitns | 16:56 |

RST38h | Jaffa: cant even copy url into the berowser | 17:12 |
RST38h | lcuk: guess so | 17:12 |
Jaffa | RST38h: basically it's an approach increasing numbers of software development teams are using to ensure the build never breaks. | 17:13 |
RST38h | lcuk: but then, you may be better off developing on a remote machine and doing scp to the tablet when needed | 17:13 |
RST38h | Jaffa: I am not a huge fan of never-breaking-builds | 17:13 |
RST38h | Jaffa: I think sacrificing everything else to this goal ultimately prevents any development from happening | 17:14 |
Jaffa | "Everything else" isn't sacrificed though. And the definition of "broken" includes failing unit tests where a developer may not have realised there was an impact (particularly in edge-cases). Similarly, it usually doesn't happen on branches, but on the trunk. | 17:16 |
* Jaffa shrugs - works for our company. Each to their own. | 17:16 | |

RST38h | Jaffa: do you suggest we run them every time a function name is changed or comment added? | 17:19 |
Jaffa | No, of course not if they take 8 hours. | 17:19 |
* Jaffa didn't suggest this was a) mandatory or b) a panacea. Just another tool. | 17:20 | |
RST38h | yes, but you initially suggested full compile and test cycle for every commit | 17:20 |
*** geaaru_ has joined #maemo | 17:20 | |
RST38h | and no local compilation | 17:20 |
Jaffa | And for some people full compile & test cycle on every commit is possible. | 17:21 |
RST38h | for some - yes | 17:21 |
* Jaffa didn't say no local compilation, either. lcuk was looking for off-site compilation; I suggested a CI-like approach. | 17:21 | |
RST38h | ah | 17:22 |
RST38h | lcuk: remote linux machine + shell account + scp at the end of your default makefile target | 17:22 |
RST38h | vi, pico, or emacs for editing of course | 17:23 |

lcuk | RST38h, problem there is i want the source and binary to be actual local files and able to run and operate locally without a network: i just need a faster compilation method as jaffa pointed out | 17:28 |
t_s_o | why is it that people keep wanting to turn the tablet into a phone? | 17:28 |

RST38h | lcuk: I am pretty sure there should be a virtual ftp fs that you can use for that | 17:30 |
RST38h | or nfs | 17:30 |

zap | no, as a HildonWindow | 17:33 |
RST38h | what is attached under it? | 17:34 |
zap | it's the main app window, with a toolbar and a menu | 17:34 |
zap | I don't have a "top_application" string anywhere in my program, it's hildon who pops it up | 17:34 |
RST38h | weird | 17:35 |

koyote | kpel: not in this case. It's been perfectly obvious for years that fixing the background network connection issues and getting an updated browser working would have a huge effect | 18:17 |
koyote | removing the tether is a bit less obvious. | 18:17 |
kpel | koyote: and is it not the case that somebody thought that the benefit of all this would not be justified by the risk/investment? | 18:19 |
kpel | in the sense that the benefit would be too small | 18:19 |

*** _matthias_ has quit IRC | 18:27 | |
JZA | crashanddie well actually still havent found it | 18:27 |
JZA | flasher-3.0 site seems to be down | 18:27 |
JZA | not sure if they relocated it | 18:27 |
crashanddie | yeah, it would appear it has been down for a couple of days now | 18:27 |
zap | Are DBUS object names unique within a single address, or they must be unique globally? | 18:28 |
JZA | crashanddie any way to get it otherwise | 18:28 |
kpel | isn't there some sort of file repository maintained by nokia? | 18:28 |
kpel | you know, for packages and docs | 18:28 |
crashanddie | JZA, no mirrors I know of, and I wouldn't trust it | 18:28 |
JZA | crashanddie so i can't do much? | 18:29 |
neilpwc | JZA: http://europe.nokia.com/A4305010 | 18:29 |
crashanddie | zap, I think it's like Java, don't make collisions, and you won't have to find out | 18:29 |
neilpwc | Thats for the N800 at least | 18:29 |
crashanddie | neilpwc, that's for windows | 18:29 |
crashanddie | neilpwc, and the downloader uses the same repository | 18:29 |
crashanddie | neilpwc, so it wouldn't work anyway | 18:29 |
JZA | neilpwc: thanks but thats for windows, would they also publish the linux version? | 18:30 |

crashanddie | bottlecap, don't, please | 18:40 |
bottlecap | okay crashanddie, I'll assume you've got a good reason. | 18:40 |
koyote | kpel: mostly it seems to have been internal politiucs and a belief in some seriously atmospheric vaporware | 18:40 |
koyote | You'd have a hard time convincing me that putting oout an updated and working browser would make them less competitive | 18:41 |
aquatix | bottlecap: i think it's best to keep copies of the image in one place | 18:41 |
johnx | crashanddie, the last time there were problems accessing the official Nokia site for firmware updates Nokia thanked people for mirroring... | 18:41 |
*** overflo is now known as overflo_away | 18:41 | |
crashanddie | bottlecap, there's a reason we never switched to bittorrent. The images are copyrighted, and you need a license to use it. IANAL, but I'd guess you would be liable if you distributed an image that borked people's tablets | 18:41 |
crashanddie | That's why there's a MAC address check before being allowed to download it | 18:42 |
kpel | koyote: oh no, i'm not saying that. i said that someone THOUGHT so :) | 18:42 |
johnx | heh...even Nokia's not liable. They have that nice warranty disclaimer | 18:42 |
crashanddie | I dunno, I just don't feel distributing the images over bittorrent is a thing for official images | 18:43 |
kpel | koyote: probably the suits thought that the vapourware you mentioned was the way to go. | 18:44 |
lcuk | if nokia would open source all their stuff it wouldnt matter about copyright anymore :D | 18:44 |
crashanddie | lcuk, true | 18:44 |

OS2007 ran only on the N800 and Nokia initially had no plans to release it for the 770; however feedback from disgruntled 770 owners[27] led Nokia to release an unsupported hybrid of OS2006 and OS2007, dubbed Internet Tablet OS 2007 Hacker Edition, in February 2007.[28] OS2007HE combined the binary parts of OS2006 with most of | 18:44 |

lcuk | kpel - amazing news, where can i download open source hardware ??? | 18:45 |
Stskeeps | where you give MAC | 18:45 |
kpel | lcuk: sourceforge :P | 18:45 |
kpel | lcuk: seriously now, do you believe that an army of stalmanists will ever manage to replace the corporate world and the research they are doing? | 18:46 |
lcuk | "Please wait, downloading USS Enterprise, 3.4% complete" | 18:46 |
kpel | even if you add the bsd crowd again things don't look good | 18:46 |
bottlecap | lcuk I'd love to see the size of that HD | 18:46 |
lcuk | not at all, but all companies can benefit from openness | 18:46 |
kpel | lcuk: how? i mean how will the engineer, the tester and the janitor of company X benefit from opensource? | 18:47 |
lcuk | an experimental zone where new ideas can be tested and validated is vital to a company: why not let the actual customers have a go themselves | 18:47 |
kpel | most probably the suits will fire them all and expect the opensource crowd to do all the work | 18:47 |
*** neilpwc has quit IRC | 18:48 | |
kpel | lcuk: experimental is the key word here. an experiment is different than the official policy. i'm all for such bold experiments but i think that switching the universe to opensource in one night will have serious socioeconomical consequences | 18:48 |
lcuk | 99.9% of customers will not even know what source is | 18:49 |
crashanddie | lcuk, ETA: Stardate 123566.41780821928 | 18:49 |
lcuk | :D | 18:49 |
crashanddie | (and yes, that is an actual stardate) | 18:49 |
kpel | it all boils down to the greedy investors who sit on top of each company. As we all know, the excrement flow downwards. | 18:49 |
bottlecap | Source, isn't that were the matrix comes from? | 18:49 |
lcuk | loads of people use firefox everyday without caring that its open, and even those that do cannot just take it all and replace the app because ONE thing prevents it | 18:50 |
lcuk | no matter how open your code is, if someone takes a fork it can never be called the same as yours | 18:50 |
kpel | lcuk: precisely! customers don't know, and they don't want to know | 18:50 |
lcuk | brand recognition | 18:50 |
crashanddie | bottlecap, I think it came from a script, really | 18:50 |
kpel | exactly, people don't care about opensource. they care about free. Not Free, free :) | 18:50 |
*** Italodance has quit IRC | 18:51 | |
lcuk | people do not mind paying for tools (i hope i got the right meaning of free ) | 18:51 |
kpel | hmmm, i think we are talking about people that are different than the customers of companies such as nokia | 18:52 |
lcuk | just because there is a recipe available - im still gonna buy delicious angel cakes :) | 18:52 |
kpel | lcuk: you don't mind buying a bluetooth headset from the nokia website? are you that rich? :) | 18:52 |
crashanddie | lcuk, well in fact, the real recipe for delicious angel cakes isn't available | 18:52 |
crashanddie | lcuk, so you'd get something that is healthier, cheaper, and most of all, you know what ingredients go in it (not 3 tons of sugar) | 18:53 |
lcuk | kpel - if it fitted with my style and i could afford it why not? | 18:53 |
kpel | people want something practical at the lowest possible price | 18:53 |
kpel | if it looks/feels/sounds cool, even better | 18:53 |
lcuk | yer, and you buy matching kitchen appliances where possible | 18:53 |
lcuk | its stupid to spend loads on a fridget then scrimp on the rest | 18:53 |
kpel | lcuk: so the problem is threefold: you have to make and more importantly, you have to SELL low-cost, functional, good-looking products. | 18:54 |
lcuk | of course if you cant afford it all at the offered price you do what you can (i just finished downloading a toaster) | 18:54 |
zap | I don't mind paying for open tools | 18:54 |
zap | but I won't take even for free closed tools | 18:54 |
lcuk | nor do i | 18:54 |
kpel | there is no way to achieve those objectives just by throwing a source code at the masses. | 18:54 |
lcuk | i never said there was? | 18:55 |
lcuk | but having an open philosophy allows both parties to win | 18:55 |
zap | throwing source code at the masses is not a silver bullet | 18:55 |
lcuk | those which want to play: can, those that dont care can stay ignorant | 18:55 |
lcuk | win win | 18:55 |

kpel | there is a slight problem here of course: competition | 18:56 |
*** housetier has joined #maemo | 18:56 | |
kpel | company X opens protocols/formats/code to world+dog. Then the competitors become stronger and possible new competitors appear | 18:56 |
zap | there's a special word for that: fair competition | 18:56 |
lcuk | yes, and you know what | 18:56 |
kpel | and of course the investors of X are not happy and X starts firing people to cut costs. | 18:57 |
*** Italodance has joined #maemo | 18:57 | |
lcuk | because of the license it means that any advantage my competitor gets from me i can get back from them | 18:57 |
lcuk | but i have brand recognition | 18:57 |
bottlecap | crap now the maemo wiki is down | 18:57 |
kpel | lcuk: but this means that there will be no differentation | 18:57 |
zap | if source code is released as GPL, the competitor won't be able to make closed derivates | 18:57 |
lcuk | right now, liqbase is open source. it beats the pants of anything else graphically on this system. if someone comes up with something better using mine as a base then i can make mine better | 18:57 |
lcuk | of course it does | 18:57 |
zap | so the original company will gain from any enhancements second company does | 18:58 |
lcuk | it takes time to market and the competition must be serious | 18:58 |
lcuk | you can take my code (please do) and make improvements to it. but you cannot call yours liqbase | 18:58 |
kpel | but the companies want to differentiate. how will company X attract more customers than Y otherwise? | 18:58 |
lcuk | you can go into direct competition with me | 18:58 |
Stskeeps | odd question to the whole a2dp discussion - would A2DP be so battery intensive if you just had .sbc files to play / send to the headset? | 18:58 |
zap | lcuk: is your app GPL? | 18:58 |
lcuk | yes | 18:58 |
aquatix | who made the load applet? | 18:59 |
zap | then I can :-P | 18:59 |
johnx | Stskeeps, shouldn't be. :) | 18:59 |
lcuk | zap :) i would love you to: this tablet NEEDS decent graphics | 18:59 |
zap | lcuk: you're mixing opensource and trademarks | 18:59 |
lcuk | its my product, im allowed to | 18:59 |
zap | lcuk: I mean, I can fork your liqbase and still call it liqbase | 18:59 |
lcuk | no you cant | 18:59 |
Stskeeps | if you trademark liqbase name, then no | 19:00 |
zap | is it a registered trademark of yours? | 19:00 |
lcuk | look at firefox: why hasnt microsoft brought out their version of firefox using the code? | 19:00 |
aquatix | that'd be surrendering ;) | 19:00 |
zap | lcuk: because people would say bad things about m$ | 19:00 |
aquatix | lcuk: better tell about iceweasel | 19:00 |
zap | like 'm$ can't write code anymore, they just steal opensource; | 19:00 |
lcuk | iceweasel is not firefox though | 19:00 |
Stskeeps | johnx: so i could basically just encode my collection of mp3s into .sbc, store .. except something tells me sbc files are horrendously huge compared to mp3? | 19:00 |
lcuk | and iceweasel does not have 17billion users | 19:00 |
aquatix | it is, but it isn't | 19:00 |
*** smackpotato has joined #maemo | 19:01 | |
kpel | lcuk: they could do it secretly (by adding ff stuff in IE) but if they got caught that would be embarassing | 19:01 |
lcuk | BRAND recognition | 19:01 |
aquatix | iceweasel is debian's patched firefox | 19:01 |
lcuk | yes, but they cant say it is firefox | 19:01 |
zap | lcuk: brand is dust | 19:01 |
lcuk | they can say its based on it | 19:01 |
kpel | plus m$ uses the browser as a means of user lockin. why would they use something more oriented towards openness? | 19:01 |
zap | opensource has nothing to do with brands | 19:01 |
johnx | Stskeeps, yeah, pretty much. also, a2dp is much better these days | 19:01 |
Stskeeps | johnx: i should try it sometime again. does it work for debian yet? *ducks* | 19:01 |
johnx | Stskeeps, it worked in beta3. Did you break it? :P | 19:02 |
Stskeeps | johnx: no clue | 19:02 |
bottlecap | I am a Ubuntu user, I burned my windows COA | 19:02 |
zap | lcuk: so far opensource lives fine without brands and trademarks, and I don't see any probs in future with it | 19:02 |
johnx | Stskeeps, actually, it should work fine as it avoids all the wacky nokia sound stuff entirely | 19:02 |
Stskeeps | bottlecap: meh. you could sell it instead of burning it | 19:02 |
lcuk | zap :) brand is still important | 19:02 |
Stskeeps | bottlecap: and donate money / make a open source bounty | 19:02 |
Stskeeps | johnx: i added gnu parted as an option for partitioner btw (can't get gnome parted ported though cos of gtkmm's.. maemoities) | 19:03 |
Stskeeps | johnx: it's good for those running installer in osso-xterm, and can resize filesystems (not only their partitions) | 19:04 |
johnx | Stskeeps, nice | 19:04 |
*** murrayc_ has joined #maemo | 19:04 | |
kpel | zap: brand is very important. and i would say that opensource coexists with the corporations. it cannot exist without them. you can't expect firefox to have a huge userbase without a version for windows. | 19:04 |
Stskeeps | johnx: but has a user interface that's about as obvious as sfdisk | 19:04 |

robink | With what, gpg -ea? | 19:12 |
Stskeeps | johnx: Capn_Fish had same issue at some point - he moved SD card to his desktop and fscked it there atleast | 19:12 |

[1]gustnado | anyone here use eclipse for development? | 20:16 |
crashanddie | no | 20:17 |
[1]gustnado | why not? | 20:17 |
crashanddie_ | no | 20:18 |
[1]gustnado | no | 20:18 |
crashanddie | no | 20:18 |
lcuk | i dont use it cos i prefer komodo | 20:18 |
[1]gustnado | komodo is? | 20:18 |
lcuk | a dragon | 20:18 |
lcuk | and also an editor | 20:18 |
crashanddie | http://www.no-pest.com/KomodoDragon.jpg | 20:18 |
crashanddie | "no" pest | 20:19 |
crashanddie | xD | 20:19 |
[1]gustnado | oh. I use eclipse a lot on other projects (C and Java) - it is an IDE, not just an editor. Someone built one for maemo development but I can't figure out how to use it right | 20:19 |
[1]gustnado | btw, komodo is actually a big lizard, called a dragon | 20:19 |
[1]gustnado | :-) | 20:20 |
lcuk | yer i know of the ide elements, though ive always felt eclipse manages to slow down the development process so much by having so many shiney (slow moving) buttongs to work with | 20:20 |
[1]gustnado | okay, is anyone doing cross debugging - running the debugger on, say, Linux and debugging a program on the actual maemo device (in my case, an N810) | 20:20 |
*** lmoura has quit IRC | 20:20 | |
[1]gustnado | lcuk - I used to feel the same way - I always used VI and make... | 20:21 |
lcuk | the maemovmware appliance has eclipse as a default - might be an idea to download that and see how it fits together? | 20:21 |
[1]gustnado | then I had a big java project that I inherited from bozos (ugh) and eclipse saved the day. Now that I am used to it, I prefer it to VI except for primary coding in non-Java languages | 20:21 |
[1]gustnado | I thought I'd NEVER choose a GUI editor over VI and told lots of folks that | 20:21 |
[1]gustnado | but I was wrong | 20:21 |
[1]gustnado | anyway, eclipse is not all that great for C | 20:21 |

[1]gustnado | yeah, I'm new to the n810 | 20:22 |
[1]gustnado | gps sorta sucks tho, lock on very slow, and I bought it for the gps | 20:23 |
[1]gustnado | anyway... HELP on debugging needed - anyone? | 20:23 |
lcuk | gustnado, i wouldnt know which kernel supported breakpoints, i know the latest mainline one just integrated a debugger, but have no ideas | 20:23 |
teamcobra | ahh, I'm the paranoid type that turns the gps off ;p | 20:23 |
lcuk | debugging for most things on device ive seen has been good old fashioned printfs | 20:24 |
[1]gustnado | you must watch too much TV ;-) | 20:24 |
[1]gustnado | lcuk, well that's the last resort | 20:24 |
*** Stecchino has quit IRC | 20:24 | |
teamcobra | heh, that and I can read maps ;) | 20:24 |
*** Stecchino has joined #maemo | 20:24 | |
[1]gustnado | but for many things, nothing beats IDE debugging | 20:24 |
lcuk | gps startup can be sped up considerably by using the latest OS update (diablo) and a-gpa | 20:24 |
[1]gustnado | I am using Diablo. What is a-gpa? | 20:24 |
lcuk | what if your ide is on the device? | 20:25 |
lcuk | a-gps | 20:25 |
[1]gustnado | this device is not big enough for a good ide, I'm afraid | 20:25 |
lcuk | sorry - some map thing where you click and show it where you are | 20:25 |
lcuk | :) | 20:25 |
[1]gustnado | ah - I have built and run maemo-mapper, but it doesn't speed it up | 20:25 |
[1]gustnado | will look into a-gpa (or is it a-gps?) | 20:25 |
lcuk | but its got enough grunt to do the ocmpilation and editing source files is both practical and possible | 20:25 |
teamcobra | was thinking of porting a sound tracker..... any suggestions? | 20:26 |
lcuk | a-gps will boost the startup time of the gps | 20:26 |
[1]gustnado | lcuk, true - but I don't wanna do that - why should I when I have a powerful PC thingie ssh'd to it? | 20:26 |
lcuk | but other than that, your gps shouldnt be slow? | 20:26 |
[1]gustnado | The only problem I have with the GPS is that it is slow | 20:26 |
lcuk | gust - i do exactly that whilst sat at home, but when im out and about i like to code and compile on the go | 20:26 |
[1]gustnado | other than that, it seems okay. Pretty sensitive, it works in my house under a clay tile roof | 20:26 |
[1]gustnado | lcuk... understand | 20:27 |
lcuk | what is slow - it tells you you were 5 miles down the road | 20:27 |
lcuk | its slow to start | 20:27 |
[1]gustnado | yes | 20:27 |
lcuk | it slow to refresh | 20:27 |
[1]gustnado | no | 20:27 |
[1]gustnado | I find the refresh time better than the COBRA car GPS I tried out | 20:27 |
[1]gustnado | and just as good as my Garmin | 20:27 |
[1]gustnado | and my SirfIII hocky puck | 20:27 |
[1]gustnado | if slow to refresh, it's the app, not the GPS | 20:27 |
[1]gustnado | I have other devel questions too... like how to get started with a gui-based project. I started with maemo-mapper, but the makefile is one of these | 20:28 |
[1]gustnado | autogen thingies that is inpenetrable | 20:28 |
[1]gustnado | so I can't learn much from looking at it | 20:28 |
lcuk | but the makefile simply glues your source to the libraries? | 20:29 |
lcuk | you should get a list of libraries out of it easily | 20:29 |
[1]gustnado | well, and to the includes, and it builds the binaries | 20:29 |
[1]gustnado | you wold be surprised - take a look - you can pull the source from svn at the garage | 20:29 |
[1]gustnado | it has all possible libraries in it, and then selects the needed ones in cryptic stuff | 20:29 |
[1]gustnado | this is not your ordinary hand made makefile | 20:30 |
lcuk | no, its made with autotools | 20:30 |
[1]gustnado | exactly | 20:30 |
lcuk | handmade == hard to work on multiple environments | 20:30 |
[1]gustnado | and I have never used autotools, even though I have been using make for 25 years | 20:30 |
*** murrayc_ has quit IRC | 20:30 | |
[1]gustnado | agree on the handmade | 20:30 |
[1]gustnado | maybe I should learn autotools | 20:30 |
lcuk | its only a list of libraries though - it just has a long winded way to list them | 20:30 |
[1]gustnado | but I don't want to invest too much time on this because I only really want it for one thing: I want to use the GPS to alert me when my speed puts me in danger of photo-radar tickets | 20:31 |
lcuk | :D heh, i can talk - ive learnt enough to read them, but i cant use them: my n810 cant install autotools | 20:31 |
[1]gustnado | I live in a fascist town | 20:31 |
lcuk | use basic map? | 20:31 |
lcuk | it warns you | 20:31 |
lcuk | mine does anyway | 20:31 |
[1]gustnado | Can u set the speed limits urself? I know exactly what speed I want to be warned at | 20:32 |
lcuk | tracytracy always shouts out SPEEDCAM | 20:32 |
[1]gustnado | what's tracytracy? | 20:32 |
lcuk | its my in car gps device :) | 20:32 |
[1]gustnado | in my area, the darned things are in trucks and move around | 20:32 |
[1]gustnado | so I need something just to warn me for whole stretches of road | 20:32 |
lcuk | she sits in the passenger seat playing mahjong whilst im driving | 20:32 |
[1]gustnado | ah... well, that's one of the best kind | 20:33 |
[1]gustnado | but I don't have one avail when commuting | 20:33 |
[1]gustnado | so anyone, how does one use autotools (NOT on the device, but on the cross platform)? | 20:33 |
lcuk | the 810 built in map does warn you if it knows theres a cam there | 20:33 |
lcuk | and im sure theres discussions on itT aobut it specifically | 20:33 |
[1]gustnado | well, then it doesn't know about the fixed ones near me, and certainly not about the mobile ones | 20:34 |
[1]gustnado | the built-in map is not open software | 20:34 |
lcuk | i believe you just enter the folder in a console and type configure | 20:34 |
[1]gustnado | I have played a little with maemo-mapper, which is open | 20:34 |
lcuk | then it will configure a makefile according to your system, you can then make as normal | 20:34 |
[1]gustnado | tjat | 20:34 |
[1]gustnado | what I mean is... how do I set up a new project so that ./configure will work? I know how to use configure on an existing project, although... | 20:35 |
lcuk | yes - but if it does the job you need - why dig deeper (unless you have time/motivation) | 20:35 |
[1]gustnado | it complains that I don't have certain files (without telling me where to get them) | 20:35 |
[1]gustnado | I don't really wanna dig deeper | 20:35 |
[1]gustnado | but I do wanna be able to build my own project | 20:35 |
[1]gustnado | if its too much trouble, I'll just hack up maemo-mapper | 20:35 |
lcuk | or just use a homemade makefile :) | 20:36 |
[1]gustnado | but its beau coup code | 20:36 |
[1]gustnado | yeah, I can do that too | 20:36 |
[1]gustnado | and maybe it's not all that hard, although in the cross compile world, there are some mysteries about what the makefile should look like | 20:36 |
lcuk | if the project you choose grows to the point of needing one, invest the time then | 20:36 |
[1]gustnado | yep | 20:36 |
[1]gustnado | good advice | 20:36 |
[1]gustnado | do you know if anyone is doing interactive debug against the device from another machine? | 20:37 |
*** Navi_ has joined #maemo | 20:37 | |

*** Navi_ has left #maemo | 20:38 | |
lcuk | you aiming for fast graphics on the device? | 20:38 |
lcuk | or for another platform? | 20:38 |
[1]gustnado | which device? | 20:39 |
lcuk | n8x0 | 20:39 |
[1]gustnado | my paying code is for an industrial controller - no graphics (the MPU has only 16KB flash and 1KB RAM) | 20:39 |
[1]gustnado | oh, n8x0 - no need for real speed on graphics | 20:39 |
[1]gustnado | just no turtle | 20:39 |
lcuk | :) i like embedded devices. makes you *think* about the code you write and the decisions you make | 20:40 |
[1]gustnado | but I have never done X or GTK programming before. Hoping to go from examples rather than learn the whole thing | 20:40 |
lcuk | heh, neither had i | 20:40 |
[1]gustnado | yes, embedded is a different world. And it's fun when the code makes relays click and LEDs blink and stuff | 20:40 |
robink | You never have to do revdep-rebuild on debian. | 20:41 |
[1]gustnado | and these days, the in circuit emulator is built into the MPU, so all you need to debug it is the right PC software (free from Atmel) and an inexpensive USB interface | 20:41 |
[1]gustnado | don't even know what revdep-rebuild is | 20:41 |
robink | [1]gustnado: Is this an Amtel AVR or an Amtel ARM? | 20:41 |
[1]gustnado | My primary unix experience is on unix for big mainframes | 20:41 |
[1]gustnado | Atmel AVR ATmega | 20:41 |
robink | [1]gustnado: Finds packages that link to outdated libraries, and recompiles them. | 20:41 |
[1]gustnado | I've also played with the ARM | 20:41 |

LoCusF | any ideas why canola2 youtube plugin won't play any sound, only video while watching youtube videos? | 20:43 |
robink | [1]gustnado: Is it a Freescale HC12? | 20:43 |
[1]gustnado | what is Epiphany? | 20:43 |
robink | [1]gustnado: The stock GNOME web browser. | 20:43 |
[1]gustnado | Freescale HC05 | 20:43 |
robink | [1]gustnado: ! | 20:43 |
[1]gustnado | I wrote an assembler for it back in '85 and have been using it ever since | 20:43 |
robink | [1]gustnado: Isn't the HC05 based on the 6502? | 20:43 |
[1]gustnado | no, it is the 6800 I think. It's been a long time since I played with the 6502 so I could be wrong. | 20:44 |
teamcobra | robink: want webdav space to share the debs? (pretty please?) | 20:44 |
[1]gustnado | It has two 8 bit registers - X and A | 20:44 |
[1]gustnado | robink - ah | 20:44 |
robink | teamcobra: It'd be a bit of a challenge to turn them into debs...right now they'd be Gentoo binary packages. | 20:44 |
robink | [1]gustnado: Oh yeah, you're right. | 20:45 |
[1]gustnado | in other words, the CPU is over 30 years old. Needless to say, I have to code that in assembler. | 20:45 |
robink | My dad used to use HC11s exclusively. | 20:45 |
rm_you | X-Fade: ping ping | 20:45 |
[1]gustnado | HC11 is a bit more advanced | 20:46 |
[1]gustnado | I was able to implement true multitasking on it, whereas on the 05 I have to fake it | 20:46 |
teamcobra | ohhhh :p I've got midori on here, and even though it has a few issues, it's faaaaast | 20:46 |
crashanddie | liqbase | 20:46 |
[1]gustnado | the HC11 gives you full control of the stack. The 05 doesn't let you do anything but reset it | 20:46 |
robink | Now he uses embedded micros that use the 8008 instruction set and old Tattletales. | 20:46 |
[1]gustnado | anyway... off subject | 20:46 |
robink | Indeed | 20:46 |
[1]gustnado | 8008, now that's ANCIENT. ARe you sure not 8080? | 20:47 |
robink | Pretty sure. | 20:47 |
[1]gustnado | 8008 was the very first 8 bit uC | 20:47 |
[1]gustnado | and the second uP ever built AFAIK | 20:47 |
robink | It's a nicer arch and instruction set than the basic 8008, but it's based on that design, not the 8080. | 20:47 |
[1]gustnado | ah | 20:47 |
[1]gustnado | I used to do 8080 and then a lot of Z80 | 20:47 |
[1]gustnado | and them TMS9900 and TI-990 | 20:47 |
robink | The advantage of these micros was that they were insanely cheap, insanely low-power and insanely small. | 20:48 |
[1]gustnado | wrote a FORTH for the Z80 | 20:48 |

*** jpetersen1 has joined #maemo | 20:50 | |
[1]gustnado | ah | 20:50 |
robink | maybe the e stands for ELF, dunno. | 20:50 |
[1]gustnado | I never remember which direction little vs big endian is | 20:50 |
[1]gustnado | fortunately it rarely matters | 20:50 |
[1]gustnado | compiler hide all that | 20:50 |
Stskeeps | robink: maybe the joke is "el" meaning "little endian" | 20:51 |
[1]gustnado | any idea where to find info on people using eclipse or doing cross-platform debug? Nobody today here is doing it, apparently | 20:51 |
[1]gustnado | har! | 20:51 |
robink | Stskeeps: Oh yeah. | 20:51 |
[1]gustnado | good one | 20:51 |
[1]gustnado | so ARMBE would be big endian? | 20:52 |
robink | This is another non-Maemo question, but does anyone know if Boost's serialization library lets you specify endianness for binary output? | 20:52 |
robink | [1]gustnado: Presumably. | 20:52 |
