GNUtonHey 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
zfigzWhere do you put videos for canola to view them?00:04
zfigzhmmm, i think i might trash canola00:04
zfigzjust seems so bloated00:04
zfigzallo?00:06
zfigzactually00:06
zfigzthis app is cool00:06

GNUtondoes anyone use dput here?00:07
GNUtonmikkov_: are you here?00:08
JaffaGNUton: garage.maemo.org - the HOWTO is assuming you've set up in ~/.ssh/config an alias of "garage".00:08
JaffaGNUton: You might also find http://wiki.maemo.org/Uploading_to_Extras helpful00:08
GNUtonJaffa: thank you! ;)00:08
zfigzI think Mplayer is better than canola00:09
zfigzAm I right?00:09
hfwilkecanola uses mplayer to play the videos00:10
hfwilkeit doiesn't actually play them itself00:10
hfwilkeif you like the way you interact with canola to get to your videos/music/podcasts, then it is a worthwhile app00:11
zfigzyeah00:11
zfigztrue00:11
zfigzI'd think it'd be slower using canola00:11
hfwilkeI use mine for podcasts and music and it is great00:11
lcuk2jaffa!00:11
hfwilkebut it is all personal preference00:12
lcuk2vala from diablo extras-devel installs fine in chinook if you add the right repo00:12
lcuk2perhaps to make it easier, could you include it in the chinook repo?00:12
crashanddiezfigz, mind if I'm really honest with you for a minute ?00:12

Callahadoh man. One quick edit to /etc/fonts/local.conf and now I have Dejavu Sans Mono in xterm, and it's wonderful. I can actually read things!00:15
crashanddiezfigz, 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 the00:15
crashanddie place for that, so take it out on twitter, or blog about it, but you're really not helping.00:15

beezulyer funny, tank00:18
crashanddiebeezul, you need the serial to get on the website, but there's wrong with giving your serial out... lol00:19
crashanddieit's just a mac address00:19
crashanddieany network you've been connected to has the "serial" of your NIT00:20
CallahadIs there a cleaner way to remap bluetooth keys than xmodmap?00:20
beezulhe doesnt need my serial00:20
beezulto give me a mirror of the firmware00:20
crashanddiebeezul, well in fact, he does00:20
beezulhows that00:20
crashanddiebeezul, if he has an 770, he can only access the 770 repo, if he has an n800, he can only access the n800 repo, etc, etc00:20
crashanddiebeezul, because you need the mac address (serial) to access the repo00:21

zanshinhello everybody, I'm trying to boot debian on a N770. I use 2008HE and I managed to get that booting from a mmc. I used the zip file for the N8x0 and installed it on the memory card. It doesn't boot and I can't see what's going wrong. Any idea's how to proceed?00:24

jewardI use vncviewer, xterm, ssh, sshd and web most so far.00:46
jewardJUst getting it set up to do work if I need/want to.00:46
Callahadjeward, How does the vncviewerperform on the N810?00:46
*** Addison has joined #maemo00:46
jewardAWESOMEly.  :-)00:46
AddisonGreetings gentlemen!00:46
jewardBe sure and get the experimental n810 one.00:47
CallahadI might have to :)00:47
CallahadWhere'd you find the experimental build?00:47
jewardI tried just using a vncviewer tunneled through ssh, but that leaves much to be desired.00:47
zanshincrash, I read apple2 had it running on an n700.00:47
jewardI was afraid you'd ask me that...00:47
jewardLet me see if I can find it.00:47

*** Binky has joined #maemo00:48
AddisonFor the love of a motherless goat, could someone point me to a .deb file for libglade2-0 (1:2.6.1)  I've just wasted the past two hours trying to find this little bugger online.00:48
lcuk2heh00:49
CallahadLooks like debian builds libglade for armel... should work, shouldn't it?00:49
lcuk2addison?  http://repository.maemo.org/pool/chinook/free/libg/libglade2/00:50
jewardCallahad: https://garage.maemo.org/frs/?group_id=119&release_id=121900:50
BinkyIt may break dependencies00:50
zfigzWhat's libglade?00:51
Callahadhm, and glade libglade probably has a reasonably huge chain of deps :/00:51
AddisonI think I tried that one before lcuk2, but I'll try it again.00:51
lcuk2are you in chonook or diablo?00:51
*** neurobuntu has quit IRC00:51

*** lindever__ has joined #maemo00:53
jewardAs in, seeing that vncviewer is not available for diablo, I could take it over and make it so?00:53
AddisonHey lcuk2, I'm using a fresh install of Diablo, nothing on it yet.  Anyway, that version you gave me was 1:2.4.0,  I need 1:2.6.100:54
BinkyAnyway, i am here asking for help. Maemo Recorder does not work  for me. When I push the recording button it says ’Stopped’ and nothing happens, it won’t record.00:54
jewardAssuming I can figure out how to cross-compile.00:54
lcuk2try this then00:54
lcuk2http://repository.maemo.org/pool/diablo/free/libg/libglade2/00:54
lcuk2its brand new, not sure of actual ver00:54
lcuk2rm_you, i have a technical delay.00:54
Callahadjeward, The maemo-sdk is pretty decent and has nice docs, iirc00:54
rm_youhrm, well... do you know if "GSM NBR: " means "cell phone number"?00:55
*** dougt has joined #maemo00:55
lcuk2jeward, have you tried just grabbing the diablo .deb or adding the diablo repo to your list: the greater majority of the applications compiled for chinook will simply work00:55
*** k-s is now known as k-s[AWAY]00:55
lcuk2grabbing the chinook .deb ^00:55
jewardlcuk2: It works fine.  I'm just saying, I had to work pretty hard to find it.00:56
jewardIt's not available via the normal route.00:56
lcuk2:) it took me longer to find the server00:56
jewardHmm, I haven't tried that!00:57
jewardWhere is it.  :-)00:57
lcuk2works really well00:57
lcuk2oh feck knows - i think i found some build on a website somewhere00:57
jeward:)00:57
lcuk2lemme see if i have link - im normally quite productive like that00:57
jewardAwesome!00:57

lcuk2i hope 5 minutes is enough, after last time it should be01:01
lcuk2addison, if its qwertys it will be bleeding edge, you will hgave to see if he compiled it and put it up anywhere (look on his normal pacakage weblist)01:01
zfigzWhat's the Diablo Repo?01:01
lcuk2its the repo of diablo01:01
zfigzYes01:02
zfigzBut do you have the link for it?01:02

Callahad(between my join and that message)03:40
derf4 minutes.03:40
CallahadHey, it only felt like two! That's a good user experience ;)03:40
CallahadToba, 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

elektit'd be cool if you could write whole words then go back and put a separator between letters03:46

elekti can write pretty small03:47
elektbut separating the letters takes forever03:47
elektcould get comfortable with it03:47

elekti don't think so03:50

elektbut i doubt it03:50
CallahadHm. 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
CallahadYou'd need conditional lookaheads for things like | + - = t03:51
elektit'd be terribly hard for me03:52
elektto make :)03:52
CallahadThe 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

derfCallahad: 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 IRC04:29
derfMaybe build it up from trigrams or somesuch, but whole words is just too many classes.04:29
derfAnd don't ever try to support cursive.04:30
Callahadwouldn't a whole word pass against a dictionary provide a useful heuristic, though?04:31
derfA 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

gustnadowell, 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
gustnadoIt is a VMWARE package, so you just download it, fire it up in VMWare and it is ready to go07:02
gustnadoI don't have time to do more than hobbyist stuff on this machine either07:02

halleyOf course, setting up vmware is also an "extra hassle."07:06
gustnadotrue. I run it on WindowsXP and then run my Linuxes on top of it07:06
gustnadoit'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 it07:07
*** Kt_ has joined #maemo07:07
halleyThat just sounds so backwards to me. :)07:08
gustnadoI figured it would07:08
gustnadoI have one laptop that dual boots. The Windows has VMWARE that runs linux, and when I boot Linux, the VMWare runs a WindowsXP07:08
gustnadoUnfortunately, 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
gustnadoanyway, 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 harder07:10
gustnadoand finding the info is hard, even though Maemo is one of the best documented open source things I've run across07:10

gustnadosigh08:47
gustnadoI see this work going into an Eclipse for Maemo, but no hint that anyone has actually used it08:48
acydlordeclipse made me want to beat myself with a crowbar08:50
gustnadoI 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 Maemo08:51
acydlordi dont like java based programs08:53
gustnadoto 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
acydlordmy main quips with java are that it is usually resource intensive, and has a penchant for being buggy and crashing08:55
* rm_you constantly wishes Java would work on the tablets08:55
gustnadoI have rarely run into Java bugs. It is resource intensive, which is why rm_you isn't getting his wish yet08:55
rm_youC is painful in comparison <_<08:55
acydlordi mean java is a godesnd when it works as it is supposed to08:55
rm_youyeah08:56
rm_youvery sad08:56
acydlordmost of my dealings with java are on a corporate basis though08:56
gustnadoWell, 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 idea08:56
acydlordwhere it seems a company paid a 5 year old to make an app that is essential in day to day operation08:56
gustnadoI'd like to get into Ruby more, but don't have the time, and they don't wanna use it at work08:56
acydlordif you can do python and perl you can do ruby08:57
gustnadothere are plenty of bad Java programmers out there, since schools turn them out without teaching much real computer science.08:57
gustnadoI hate PERL08:57
gustnadoPython is okay08:57
acydlordruby from my experience is pretty much the extensiveness of perl with the stability of python08:58
acydlordi know people that have picked up ruby in a weekend08:59
gustnadowell, 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 hack08:59
gustnadoYeah, you can pick up the rudiments of Ruby fast08:59
gustnadoSame with Perl08:59
gustnadofor 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 ROM09:00
gustnadobut the academics don't like FORTH, so hardly anybody even knows about it09:01
koyoteI had a lot of fun on the palm for a while doing pascal, assembly, and a compiled basic09:01
gustnadoan interesting mix09:01

acydlordpascal and assebly, thats taking it back09:01

gustnadohey, acyd, I started with Fortran II09:01
gustnadoJava used to be slow until they got the JIT technology working well09:02
acydlordi started with basic, and what was that one on the apple II09:03
koyotegustnado: the izibasic benchmarks better than the compiled C, and naturally any of the byte compiled palm languages09:03
gustnadoApple II was MS basic09:03
gustnadokoyote, that is good09:03
gustnadoand Apple II was 650209:03

gustnadomy problem with Palm OS are: 1) not true multitasking OS 2) hasn't improved with time. That being said, my phone is a Treo 700p09:05
acydlordyeah, the palms were never designed well enough to be standalone devices09:05
koyoteYou have to realize, my introduction to palmtop computing was the tandy PC2.09:06
gustnadoThe Palms were never intended to be standalone09:06
koyoteI've always considered palmtops to be Real Computers09:06
acydlordi've got the centro, and im looking forward to the 800 palm based09:06
gustnadoI 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 antenna09:06
koyotegustnado: Palms could have escaped the need for a tehter long ago. if not the coonvenience09:06
acydlordcentro does actually have an antenna connector09:07
gustnadooh, crap09:07
acydlordit's under a rubber panel09:07
gustnadoI wish I'd known that09:07
MercuryWhat's somewhat disturbing, is that Palm's several year old PIM apps are still some of the best around.09:07
gustnadoI might have gotten one09:07
acydlordyeah, when i bought mine the rep told me it didnt have irda or the antena port09:07
gustnadoPalm's apps are nice. Very lightweight, just the right functionality09:07
acydlordit has both09:07
koyoteMercury: well, they are reasonably mature and featureful. Though not quite as good as the HP PIM suite from the 200LX09:07
gustnadoI keep all my personal data in a Palm and access it using the PC desktop09:08
acydlordi have all my contacts and business cards in the palm09:08
Mercurykoyote: I've not used those.09:08
koyoteWhat'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 emacs09:08
acydlordand i can sync them between centro, pc, and NIT09:08
gustnadoI 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 vacation09:08
koyoteMercury: it's old tech. really old. a 286 based PDA with CGA graphics and a week of battery life on AA cells.09:09
koyoteback in the mid 90s09:09
gustnadoI 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 lot09:09
acydlordthe centro has one of the best keyboards on the palms09:09
gustnadoI try not to use my palm keyboard much - prefer to put the data in on the PC when I can. But I do miss graphiti09:09
gustnadoI wish the converging tablet/phone/PIM world would standardize a bit more - preferably on open platform.09:10
koyoteI'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 chats09:10
acydlordi usually used my n810 as a bt kb for my centro09:10
acydlordbut my n810 is about to be sent out for repairs :(09:10

acydlordlol09:11
gustnadoserious09:11
acydlordthe gps isnt the most accurate09:11
acydlordbut it is mighty programmable, especially with mapper09:12
gustnadoit's accuracy is good enough. Problem is startup time09:12
koyoteThe 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
gustnadoMy problem now is getting to where I can develop reasonably, without investing too much of my tm09:12
gustnadotime09:12
acydlordyeah, the agps helper in diablo helps09:12
gustnadowell, of course its weaker than a 486, but hey, it's little and it runs on a  battery09:12
gustnadoa little battery compared to a laptop09:13
koyoteoh, sure. A 486 with 16MB of ram would run rings around MODERN technology09:13
gustnadoThe ARM is an okay processor though. I've played with Atmel's embedded ARM and it's neat09:13
robinkAmtel makes an ARM?09:13
gustnadohey, my wrist-watch has more compute power than the first computer I programmed09:13
gustnadoyes, they do - a whole line of them09:13
koyoteexactly.09:13
acydlordi wish the amd embedded procs would get more play09:13
acydlordproblem with anything amd though is that it's power hungry09:14
gustnadoand you can program and debug them in circuit with a $150 USB interface and theirr free iDE09:14
koyoteThe 8x0 series has more power than the zaurus clamshells, but on those I could have a real X environment and compiler09:14
koyotethe nokia is "too weak and time is too contrained" to have... regular stuff.09:14
gustnadowell, I've been doing cross compiling for decades, so I don't mind relying on a PC for development09:14
Proteousmy first programing was in a RoboWars VM09:15
robinkIs having gcc on an N810 a stupid idea?09:15
gustnadoI would like to  be able to do interactive debug from the PC to a program running on N810, but don't know how09:15
koyoteoh, and the "screen is too small"..... as if my main machine was better09:15
koyoterobink: I've been told so.09:15
acydlordmy n810 usually is my main machine09:15
koyoteMy desktop is an eee09:15
gustnadoI 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's09:15
* robink will probably uninstall gcc and g++ on his n810.09:16
* robink has a scratchbox install on his desktop.09:16

Cptnodegardah12:37
VeggenI had no problems with restore (that I know of)12:38
Cptnodegardyeah but what exactly does it restore? does it automatically start istalling your old apps and such?12:38
Cptnodegardbecause i have no clue what apps i have installed12:38
Veggenyes. well, you can choose.12:38
Veggenand it likely won't be able to install all :)12:39
Cptnodegardlol i know, hence my other reason not to upgrade12:39
Cptnodegardthe way i figure it my tablet isnt broken so i dont have any reason to fix it12:39
Cptnodegardslash upgrade12:39
Cptnodegardanother Q... i installed diskusage. it shows 100% on /dev/root. wtf does that mean?12:40
Stskeepsnot 100% sure, but remember there's a initial filesystem mounted when the tablet boots12:41

lcukits unfortunately too slow for me to do more with for now16:00
lcukbut that may change16:00
JaffaYeah, it's faster than C++ but not as fast as native C it seems due to the garbage collection/ref counting overhead16:01
*** _matthias_ has quit IRC16:01
lcukif the bindings for liqbase work then it becomes possible to use more16:01
lcukactually its slower than c++16:01
lcukmaybe end code is faster, but compilation is slower16:01
Jaffaah, perhaps.16:02
lcukits a seriously interesting project though and im gonna keep hacking away at it16:02
lcukim thinking of a possible scenario for all this kind of compilation where i use a webservice for building16:02
Jaffathat could be cool16:02
lcuklike your autobuilder but on a private server16:02
lcuksync or svn or git the changes up, build the modified elements and send me the binary16:03

*** lindever__ has joined #maemo16:23
JaffaUseful 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
sp3000a random example of another approach is http://wiki.mozilla.org/Build:TryServer16:24

JaffaRST38h: basically it's an approach increasing numbers of software development teams are using to ensure the build never breaks.17:13
RST38hlcuk: but then, you may be better off developing on a remote machine and doing scp to the tablet when needed17:13
RST38hJaffa: I am not a huge fan of never-breaking-builds17:13
RST38hJaffa: I think sacrificing everything else to this goal ultimately prevents any development from happening17:14
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

crashanddiebottlecap, 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 tablets18:41
crashanddieThat's why there's a MAC address check before being allowed to download it18:42

crashanddie"no" pest20:19
crashanddiexD20:19
[1]gustnadooh. 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 right20:19
[1]gustnadobtw, komodo is actually a big lizard, called a dragon20:19
[1]gustnado:-)20:20
lcukyer 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 with20:20
[1]gustnadookay, 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 IRC20:20
[1]gustnadolcuk - I used to feel the same way - I always used VI and make...20:21
lcukthe maemovmware appliance has eclipse as a default - might be an idea to download that and see how it fits together?20:21
[1]gustnadothen 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 languages20:21
[1]gustnadoI thought I'd NEVER choose a GUI editor over VI and told lots of folks that20:21
[1]gustnadobut I was wrong20:21

[1]gustnadogps sorta sucks tho, lock on very slow, and I bought it for the gps20:23
[1]gustnadoanyway... HELP on debugging needed - anyone?20:23
lcukgustnado, i wouldnt know which kernel supported breakpoints, i know the latest mainline one just integrated a debugger, but have no ideas20:23
teamcobraahh, I'm the paranoid type that turns the gps off ;p20:23
lcukdebugging for most things on device ive seen has been good old fashioned printfs20:24

teamcobraheh,  that and I can read maps ;)20:24
*** Stecchino has joined #maemo20:24
[1]gustnadobut for many things, nothing beats IDE debugging20:24
lcukgps startup can be sped up considerably by using the latest OS update (diablo) and a-gpa20:24
[1]gustnadoI am using Diablo. What is a-gpa?20:24
lcukwhat if your ide is on the device?20:25
lcuka-gps20:25
[1]gustnadothis device is not big enough for a good ide, I'm afraid20:25
lcuksorry - some map thing where you click and show it where you are20:25
lcuk:)20:25
[1]gustnadoah - I have built and run maemo-mapper, but it doesn't speed it up20:25
[1]gustnadowill look into a-gpa (or is it a-gps?)20:25
lcukbut its got enough grunt to do the ocmpilation and editing source files is both practical and possible20:25
teamcobrawas thinking of porting a sound tracker..... any suggestions?20:26
lcuka-gps will boost the startup time of the gps20:26
[1]gustnadolcuk, true - but I don't wanna do that - why should I when I have a powerful PC thingie ssh'd to it?20:26
lcukbut other than that, your gps shouldnt be slow?20:26
[1]gustnadoThe only problem I have with the GPS is that it is slow20:26
lcukgust - i do exactly that whilst sat at home, but when im out and about i like to code and compile on the go20:26
[1]gustnadoother than that, it seems okay. Pretty sensitive, it works in my house under a clay tile roof20:26
[1]gustnadolcuk... understand20:27
lcukwhat is slow - it tells you you were 5 miles down the road20:27
lcukits slow to start20:27
[1]gustnadoyes20:27
lcukit slow to refresh20:27
[1]gustnadono20:27
[1]gustnadoI find the refresh time better than the COBRA car GPS I tried out20:27
[1]gustnadoand just as good as my Garmin20:27
[1]gustnadoand my SirfIII hocky puck20:27
[1]gustnadoif slow to refresh, it's the app, not the GPS20:27
[1]gustnadoI 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 these20:28
[1]gustnadoautogen thingies that is inpenetrable20:28
[1]gustnadoso I can't learn much from looking at it20:28
lcukbut the makefile simply glues your source to the libraries?20:29
lcukyou should get a list of libraries out of it easily20:29
[1]gustnadowell, and to the includes, and it builds the binaries20:29
[1]gustnadoyou wold be surprised - take a look - you can pull the source from svn at the garage20:29
[1]gustnadoit has all possible libraries in it, and then selects the needed ones in cryptic stuff20:29
[1]gustnadothis is not your ordinary hand made makefile20:30
lcukno, its made with autotools20:30
[1]gustnadoexactly20:30
lcukhandmade == hard to work on multiple environments20:30
[1]gustnadoand I have never used autotools, even though I have been using make for 25 years20:30
*** murrayc_ has quit IRC20:30
[1]gustnadoagree on the handmade20:30
[1]gustnadomaybe I should learn autotools20:30
lcukits only a list of libraries though - it just has a long winded way to list them20:30
[1]gustnadobut 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 tickets20:31
lcuk:D heh, i can talk - ive learnt enough to read them, but i cant use them: my n810 cant install autotools20:31
[1]gustnadoI live in a fascist town20:31
lcukuse basic map?20:31
lcukit warns you20:31
lcukmine does anyway20:31
[1]gustnadoCan u set the speed limits urself? I know exactly what speed I want to be warned at20:32
lcuktracytracy always shouts out SPEEDCAM20:32
[1]gustnadowhat's tracytracy?20:32
lcukits my in car gps device :)20:32
[1]gustnadoin my area, the darned things are in trucks and move around20:32
[1]gustnadoso I need something just to warn me for whole stretches of road20:32
lcukshe sits in the passenger seat playing mahjong whilst im driving20:32
[1]gustnadoah... well, that's one of the best kind20:33
[1]gustnadobut I don't have one avail when commuting20:33
[1]gustnadoso anyone, how does one use autotools (NOT on the device, but on the cross platform)?20:33
lcukthe 810 built in map does warn you if it knows theres a cam there20:33
lcukand im sure theres discussions on itT aobut it specifically20:33
[1]gustnadowell, then it doesn't know about the fixed ones near me, and certainly not about the mobile ones20:34
[1]gustnadothe built-in map is not open software20:34
lcuki believe you just enter the folder in a console and type configure20:34
[1]gustnadoI have played a little with maemo-mapper, which is open20:34
lcukthen it will configure a makefile according to your system, you can then make as normal20:34
[1]gustnadotjat20:34
[1]gustnadowhat 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
lcukyes - but if it does the job you need - why dig deeper (unless you have time/motivation)20:35
[1]gustnadoit complains that I don't have certain files (without telling me where to get them)20:35
[1]gustnadoI don't really wanna dig deeper20:35
[1]gustnadobut I do wanna be able to build my own project20:35
[1]gustnadoif its too much trouble, I'll just hack up maemo-mapper20:35
lcukor just use a homemade makefile :)20:36
[1]gustnadobut its beau coup code20:36
[1]gustnadoyeah, I can do that too20:36
[1]gustnadoand maybe it's not all that hard, although in the cross compile world, there are some mysteries about what the makefile should look like20:36
lcukif the project you choose grows to the point of needing one, invest the time then20:36
[1]gustnadoyep20:36

lcuk:) i like embedded devices.  makes you *think* about the code you write and the decisions you make20:40
[1]gustnadobut I have never done X or GTK programming before. Hoping to go from examples rather than learn the whole thing20:40
lcukheh, neither had i20:40
[1]gustnadoyes, embedded is a different world. And it's fun when the code makes relays click and LEDs blink and stuff20:40
robinkYou never have to do revdep-rebuild on debian.20:41
[1]gustnadoand 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 interface20:41
[1]gustnadodon't even know what revdep-rebuild is20:41

robink[1]gustnado: The stock GNOME web browser.20:43
[1]gustnadoFreescale HC0520:43
robink[1]gustnado: !20:43
[1]gustnadoI wrote an assembler for it back in '85 and have been using it ever since20:43
robink[1]gustnado: Isn't the HC05 based on the 6502?20:43
[1]gustnadono, 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
teamcobrarobink: want webdav space to share the debs? (pretty please?)20:44
[1]gustnadoIt has two 8 bit registers - X and A20:44
[1]gustnadorobink - ah20:44
robinkteamcobra: 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]gustnadoin other words, the CPU is over 30 years old. Needless to say, I have to code that in assembler.20:45
robinkMy dad used to use HC11s exclusively.20:45
rm_youX-Fade: ping ping20:45
[1]gustnadoHC11 is a bit more advanced20:46
[1]gustnadoI was able to implement true multitasking on it, whereas on the 05 I have to fake it20:46
teamcobraohhhh :p I've got midori on here, and even though it has a few issues, it's faaaaast20:46
crashanddieliqbase20:46
[1]gustnadothe HC11 gives you full control of the stack. The 05 doesn't let you do anything but reset it20:46
robinkNow he uses embedded micros that use the 8008 instruction set and old Tattletales.20:46
[1]gustnadoanyway... off subject20:46
robinkIndeed20:46
[1]gustnado8008, now that's ANCIENT. ARe you sure not 8080?20:47
robinkPretty sure.20:47
[1]gustnado8008 was the very first 8 bit uC20:47
[1]gustnadoand the second uP ever built AFAIK20:47
robinkIt's a nicer arch and instruction set than the basic 8008, but it's based on that design, not the 8080.20:47
[1]gustnadoah20:47
[1]gustnadoI used to do 8080 and then a lot of Z8020:47
[1]gustnadoand them TMS9900 and TI-99020:47
