IRC log of #maemo for Sunday, 2008-10-12

Mace`but ANYWAYS...sts.. i'll try it soon and let you know how it goes.. none of the pand front ends work in deblet though i'm guessing ?00:00
StskeepsMace`: .. there's frontends?00:00
kkrustyI wonder if you could use the n810/n800 as a bluetooth headset00:00
Mace`i figured something should work with it :)00:00
Stskeepskkrusty: i guess it would be technically possible00:00
Mace`can't you just rip the maemo one?00:00
StskeepsMace`: possibly00:00
Mace`heh00:00
Mace`what do you mean as a bluetooth headset?00:01
Mace`i've used my earpiece to make skype calls if that's what you mean?00:01
Mace`ah well.. i'm off to watch yesterday's sanctuary00:01
Mace`i still think the webisodes were better.. at least the first episode was00:01
*** rsalveti has quit IRC00:02
kkrustyI mean that you could use it with your computer to recieve your audio over it like as if its an actual bluetooth headset00:02
Mace`the story was better.. kind of like tenchi muyo universe and the oav box set00:02
Mace`kkrusty - oh.. never tried that... i would just use the filesystem to do that00:02
Mace`and i'm sure the range wouldn't be all that great00:03
Mace`better to just stick with wifi ... bt is crap for speed00:03
Mace`later00:03
*** _freelikegnu is now known as freelikegnu00:03
kkrustyMace: It would mean that I wont have to buy an actual headset00:03
*** rsalveti has joined #maemo00:03
*** matt_c has joined #maemo00:06
Mace`waiting on this damn vista box to finish encoding something so i can rip the video card out of it00:06
Mace`i didn't know they changed agp a long time ago when they upped the voltage00:06
kkrustyStskeeps: I think it depends on the set of profiles the bluetooth module supports.00:07
*** CptLaptop has quit IRC00:09
cars__kkrusty, stupid question, but why doesn't every device support every applicable BT profile?00:12
*** SDuensin_ has joined #Maemo00:14
*** hellwolf has joined #maemo00:14
kkrustycars__: I dont know whether thats the case but I could imagine the usual marketing reasons or to make it cheaper00:16
kkrustydoes anyone remember the video of a n800 being used to hear audio from another device?00:17
*** burb has quit IRC00:18
cars__kkrusty, also, I would imagine BT is completely proprietary, right?  So that's why this community and others can't just add or enable support of various profiles ourselves.00:19
kkrustyyeah hence one of the marketing reasons00:20
*** Raytray has quit IRC00:20
kkrustyI hate it when we're locked out of our own devices.00:20
Stskeepskkrusty: i would say it depends on the software stack, not so much the dongle, afaik00:21
Stskeepsi mean, i can randomly set up a PAN service..00:21
cars__gah, I hate corporate greed.  Something that is technologically possible shouldn't be restricted just because the company is just to lazy or cheap to impliment it.00:22
kkrustyStskeeps: well the capabilities of the hardware are the absolute upper cap of what can be done. Then of course it depends on how forthcoming the company actually is.00:24
kkrustyThe obviously wont want people using the n8x0 as a bluetooth headset and be a competition to normal headsets00:25
kkrusty*they00:25
Stskeepskkrusty: ear marks on display, eh ;00:25
cars__More companies should add features in a "Let's see where they go with this" sort of approach.00:26
*** SDuensin has quit IRC00:26
Stskeepskkrusty: it's honestly a matter of implementing a HSP profile for bluez, really.00:28
kkrustyStskeeps: well... heres something from the past that might prove its possible. http://www.hackszine.com/blog/archive/2007/12/eavesdropping_on_bluetooth_hea.html00:28
Stskeepsit is possible, just not done yet00:29
kkrustyIm essentially interested in the fact that you can hear the audio on your n770 from another device, not the eavesdropping00:29
kkrustyviewing the video it seems that its a slightly different concept00:31
cars__The BT hardware on the n8x0 (or, say, my laptop or phone) is theoretically able to support the applicable profiles, right?  Is it simply that they are not implimented or enabled?00:32
Stskeepsbluez hasn't implemented it afaik00:32
*** arj_ has joined #maemo00:32
arj_hi00:33
Stskeepsoh, a fellow dane00:33
arj_:)00:33
arj_I'm a little confused. After upgrading my n810, the map software seems to ask for a key. From googling, it appears I have to buy a wayfinder license, but I thought one was included?00:33
cars__A trial license is included for navigation/directions, but position and maps are free.00:35
arj_ok, I see00:35
arj_thanks00:35
cars__otherwise, you need to subscribe to the nav functions00:36
cars__there are alternative programs available00:36
arj_yeah like maemo mapper?00:37
cars__arj_, Yes, like maemo mapper, which can have better functionality.00:38
cars__There are a couple others, but I don't know how often they are updated.00:40
arj_does maemo mapper provide driving instructions?00:40
cars__It does, but it requires an internet connection.  If you have it tethered to your phone it's not a bad solution.00:42
arj_can't I just download all the maps beforehand if I know where I'm going?00:42
cars__Or you could just get them before you leave and along the way at hotspots as you get lost.00:42
*** christefano has joined #maemo00:43
arj_cool00:43
arj_and it uses openstreetmap?00:43
Stskeepscan use google maps too00:43
* Stskeeps cached whole of dublin when he went there00:43
*** sven-tek has joined #maemo00:43
arj_I have been uploading and helping with improve openstreetmap, so it would be nice if I could use it as well :)00:44
cars__I don't know if it does, or not.  I'm fairly certain the maps are raster based, which is why it needs the net connection for directions.00:46
*** uncorq has quit IRC00:46
arj_but if I used google maps I could download everything before I went?00:46
Stskeepscould with any of them i think00:46
cars__there is osm2go, which apparently is an editor for openstreetmaps00:46

zakkmHow does the n800 beat n770 in terms of performance? I had the n770 but it was very slow for even normal usage sometimes.05:16

melmothmy sample code is here https://garage.maemo.org/plugins/scmsvn/viewcvs.php/branches/phonehome/src/dsk_mgr.c?revision=414&root=sayhoo&view=markup14:21
melmoththe idea is to be able to take a pic when the network connection is up14:21
lcukim extremely torn14:21
lcukbacon == goodness14:21
melmoth(the whole stuff is suppoed to be an automatic call home application in case the tabket get stolen)14:21
lcukcrispy bacon == making sore tooth sorererer14:22
lcukmelmoth, how do you stop the big red light from coming on when the cam is in use14:22
melmothi do not underestand where i am supposed to put the pipeline in a pause state, or when to stop it.14:22
melmothas a result, once the connection is up, it takes a picture, but then, the red led keeps being on14:23
Mace`http://www.hist.umn.edu/~ruggles/Approval.htm14:23
Mace`wow14:23

melmothlcuk: stoping the big red light to come up is also i problem i have (but a less annoying one :) )14:23
*** pcfe has joined #maemo14:24
lcukyeah, theres about a 5 second lead tiem between the light coming on and the stream starting14:25
lcuki dont know how often you expect to run the camera to take a shot, but have you tried closing the stream inside buffer_probe_callback after a successful picture14:27
lcukor do you just want to pause the stream but leave it alive for the duration of your software14:27
lcuk(side effect would be camera locked from other software14:28
melmothi want to be able to stop as much ressourcexs as possible once  a pic is taken14:28
*** Free_maN has joined #maemo14:29
melmothHmm; let see if i can close the stream in buffer_probe_callback14:30
lcukif i was doing this i would try to break the camera and gps and main controlling code into different modules and have them as call once functional items and not try to mingle everything14:32
*** CptLaptop has joined #maemo14:32
melmothgps stuff is sort of working.14:32
melmothit store each position in a linked list, can save it to disk if needed.14:33
melmothand send it a remote xmlrcp server when the connection is up before foregtting about it14:34
melmothnow, i would also like to be able to send some random pic taken when the connexion is up (where there are more change to have a face in front of the lens)14:34

johnxI wonder if they manage to region lock the DVD drive on it when it's booted to linux...15:26
tibobhi15:26
lcukjohnx depends if the shipping dvd software honours the region, most legit soft will - with a nudge and a wink to unlock15:27
Mace`think i'm going to buy an 8G SD to boot centos15:27
Mace`the cheapest sata drives newegg had were 80G and cost $3015:27
Mace`i was hoping to find something for $10 .. don't need that much space15:27
johnxlcuk, as far as I know there aren't really any commonly available commercial "region-honoring" DVD playing softwares for linux15:28
*** pi8iki has left #maemo15:28
lcukPowerDVD for Linux15:28
johnxhuh15:28
johnxI wonder if anyone uses it on purpose15:28
Mace`haha15:29
Mace`i doubt it15:29
Mace`i didn't even know there was a powerdvd for linux15:29
lcukjohnx, depends if its part of the OOB experience or not15:29
Mace`just like i was shocked to find out there was linux nero15:29
lcukthats a petty old lead i remember, i havent looked recently15:29
Mace`i returned something to a store on friday and i'm pissed that i did because if i did it thurs instead of being so lazy my money would be back already15:30
lcukas much as we are hackers, we have to remember people are willing to pay for commercially supported products15:30
Mace`lcuk - especially on macs15:30
Mace`have you ever seen teh software people try to sell ?15:30
Mace`some of it is like "why the fuck would anybody buy that"15:31
lcukespecially now the netbooks are taking off, its something dramatic that has to change15:31
Mace`if you do a google search for ssh15:31
lcukpreinstalled with linux people buying them from the stores expect certain things to work as standard15:31
Mace`you will find "ssh solutions" that cost around $50015:31
johnxlcuk, not on linux, unless it's available from the start. DVD playing is pretty much a click away in ubuntu, IIRC15:31
lcukyes, like commercial vnc type services15:31
lcukpeople dont wanna mess and will happily pay if they work15:32
Mace`well.. commercial vnc services have encryption usually15:32
Mace`which i could see the reasoning behind wanting15:32
lcukits more the central server and router bypassing that appeals15:32
dnearylcuk: Looks like there's still NTSC/PAL issues with the PS315:32
lcukahhh dneary, odd in a digital world15:32
Mace`but the ssh solutions that cost 500-100015:32
Mace`that's just a scam :)15:32
lcukbut its secure!15:32
johnxI could never trust closed source un-vetted encryption...15:33
Mace`me neither15:33
Mace`funny thing is.. it probably uses the same sshkeygen :)15:33
Mace`all it is is a front end for ssh... and it costs 400+15:33
Mace`you can find a ton of them out there... it's a big ass scam15:33
Mace`like cert authorities15:34
lcukand you get an SLA and agents to support it without ever having to hit the console yourself15:34
Mace`i think that's the biggest scam of them all15:34
Stskeepsjohnx: deblet lasts 12 hours in idle on full battery btw15:34
johnxStskeeps, idle with wifi off or on?15:34
Stskeepswifi off, bluetooth off15:34

Mace`so 2 hours with it on? :)15:34
johnxI wonder what keeps it ticking15:34
dnearylcuk: Sure - but the input to the telly is still analog, no?15:34
Stskeepsthis is without cpu usage applet too15:35
lcukdneary, depends on the telly i suppose15:35
dnearylcuk: Maybe over HDMI it's not an issue?15:35
Stskeepsjohnx: then again 12 hour idle time for a much larger laptop is also impressive ;)15:35
lcuki wouldnt try a next gen HD console unless i had a next gen HD telly ;)15:35

qwerty12_N800johnx, how? :p16:39
johnxi really don't know. I'm not the one who broke 4 (?!) ac adapters for one device16:40
lcukjohnx, you've gotta let him off, hes young he must tug on it all day long16:40
johnxgah16:40
johnxonly power source I had die on me was a craptastic pelican external PSP battery. made a whine, smokey smell, then wouldn't charge. like 3 months later there was a recall on them16:41
qwerty12_N800johnx, my sony ericsson charger works and the charger for my broken n-gage :p16:42
qwerty12_N800lcuk, maybe in the north, yeh? :p16:42
lcukoooer johnx, i have to say though i was worried about the charger for 810 when i got it, its a very small needle and at such an odd angle, my old pda had a proper cradle16:42
johnxis the plug physically breaking? or is some electronic component burning out?16:42
johnxlcuk, agreed. I feel a lot better about the PSP/zaurus power adapter16:43
qwerty12_N800johnx, burning out :/16:43
johnxqwerty12_N800, ah, nevermind then about "doing it wrong"16:43
lcukhave you got a surge protector on your mains side?16:43
johnxdo you live in an old house?16:43
qwerty12_N800lcuk, no, not upstairs anyway16:44
nano-I have a build-prompt like this: [SB2 maemo diablo41_armel] daniel@purplehaze vala-0.3.5 $16:44
lcukmight be an idea to get one16:44
nano-But I can't do install as I have no perms nowhere..16:44
nano-make install leads to permission denied, and sudo make install leads to sudo: must be setuid root16:45
nano-Anyone knows what to do?16:45
johnxlcuk, do surge protectors do anything to smooth out bumps in the power or do they just have a fast-acting fuse/breaker?16:45
qwerty12_N800johnx, i'd say so but the electrics were rewired to make that modern16:45
johnxqwerty12_N800, by a hobo with a glass bottle in a paper bag who pushed his tools in a stolen grocery cart?16:46
qwerty12_N800johnx, lol, no :p. my brother's ac-4x that he keeps upstairs still works  :/16:47
lcukjohnx, depends on the model i believe, but most should regulate and smooth the input to ensure nothing surges through.  some have larger diodes and components to handle larger variations, but they are heading towards UPS type devices then16:47
johnxqwerty12_N800, different outlet than you use, right?16:47
qwerty12_N800johnx, yeah16:48
lcukwe cannot rule out the qwerty factor in all of this, i bet he has same trouble with the christmas tree lights16:48
johnxnano-, maybe fakeroot make install or change the PREFIX when using configure?16:48
johnxlcuk, ugh, I hate dealing with the fuses on those things...maddening16:48
lcukheh johnx, the last ups i had the misfortune to have to deal with the customer had sat there for about 3 weeks wondering why it had a big flashing red light on it, then wondered why their server went down16:51
qwerty12_N800lcuk, i'll try out that acmonitor i modded with the idea I stole from you :p. i'lll laugh if my implementation works because i remember how long your code for it was :p16:51

nikosapiHey, is there a way to access the "zoom" buttons (F7&F8) while the device is locked?16:55
lcuknikosapi, perhaps the term "locked" means something to you that it doesnt to others16:55
lcukthough if you use the low level xsp library you CAN still access uncalibrated touchscreen events ;)16:55
nikosapiheh16:55
qwerty12_N800oh lol, mine stopped working suddenly and it took me a while to figure it out16:55
nikosapilcuk: If you've ever used an archos, even when it "locked" you can still access the volume controls16:56
nikosapiit's really handy instead of having to unlock, change the volume then lock again16:56

qwerty12_N800that's not a bad idea actually...16:58
lcuki only know because i was runnin my program happily one day (very touch screen oriented) and only when i pressed [esc] did i realise it was still locked16:58
nikosapihehe, well that's kind of the opposite of what I need :)16:59
lcukyeah lol, but there may be a low level entry point somewhere under x that you can poll17:00
* qwerty12_N800 is looking at a more dubious method of doing it. those who know me will know what i'm looking at17:01

Stskeepssame here.. cooking a pizza atm, think i'm low on blood sugar18:30
Stskeeps:P18:30
whodatso.. the n810 has two memory cards in it? one thats like 256meg (where the os/apps are installed) and one thats 2gig?18:33
Stskeepswhodat: 256mb internal flash, 2gig internal SD card, and possibility to put a SD card in externally18:33
johnxhmm...my a-data sd card is toast I guess :|18:34
whodatstskeeps: could I move like /usr to the 2gig internal..mount it there? so i could put apps on there instead? i know you can put the entire os there but that seems overkill.18:35
johnxwhodat, it's way more complicated to just put /usr there compared to putting the whole OS there18:35
johnxyou lose a lot by having it split up and don't gain anything18:36
whodatmaybe.. but it makes more sense logicly heh18:36
johnxfrom a unix perspective, yes, it makes more sense18:36
*** ywwg has joined #maemo18:36
whodaton ubuntu i mount /home to a seperate partition for instance18:36
johnxfrom an embedded systems perspective, it makes less sense18:36
whodatahh. well, okay... ...why? ;)18:37
johnxbasically, if you're going to be powering the sd card the whole time, and have files mounted off it, you might as well keep two completely separate OSes installed for redundancy18:38
whodatactually I think it would have made more sense to just drop the 256mb on the device and install the OS to the 2gig internal. although, okay. its probably slower than flash.18:39
johnxI think that was mostly for backwards compatibility with the n80018:39
whodatso its not slower?18:39
whodatflash vs internal sd card18:39
johnxwell, the flash uses a compressed filesystem, so it's probably going to be slower18:40
whodatwow18:40
johnxI don't think the internal sd card is a hi-speed model though18:40
whodatmaybe i should just move the whole OS then. this 256meg limit sucks18:40
johnxdid you already fill it up with apps?18:41
whodatyeah18:41
johnxand you already removed the instruction manual, example pictures and video and music?18:41
*** avs has joined #maemo18:41

*** fiekia has joined #maemo18:42
whodati still have 93meg but just thinking about the fiture18:43
johnxah, I see18:43
johnxtell me when you fill it up then :)18:43
johnxand remember, that it's a compressed FS *and* the apps are generally really small18:43
whodatoh, so i dont have to wipe it to copy it over18:43
johnxalso, it started at 50% full :D18:44
johnxnope, just copy over to SD18:44
whodatyeah 93meg is so tiny on a PC... so maybe my perception is wrong ;)18:44
johnxthink of it as about 1.5 times that much18:44
whodatwell, i tried installing maemo maps from the package manager and it errored, i thought it erroed due to out of space but that must not be the case.18:45
*** pcfe has quit IRC18:45
johnxnah, there was a problem with it recently18:45
johnxthe new 2.5 should fix that18:45
whodatso i have to wait?18:46
johnxalso, when you isntall it you *should* remember to have it store maps on the internal SD card18:46
johnxnah, 2.5 is out18:46
johnxjust refresh the app manager18:46

derfmoontiger: I've never run it in an existing repository.21:55
derfMaybe it does something smart in that case.21:56

moontigerexactly what i thought lcuk was asking for21:56
moontiger<--- confused21:56
derfWell, if you'd like to not keep typing the username, password, and repository each time, consider svn up21:57
moontigerahhhhhhhhh so thats the diff ... it caches all the data for the connection etc21:57
moontigerwow good to know thnx :)21:57
lcukits ok moontiger i was as well, i was looking for svn up but mistook it for co because thats what i had used last time21:57
*** kpel has joined #maemo21:57
moontigerderf, i use a php script to update web projects to the live site from the repo so i always use the co form as there is no "state" between checkouts21:58
moontigerbut the up thing is good to know21:58
derfmoontiger: You actually want svn export21:58
moontigerno i tried that too21:59
moontigeri dont mind having a live version on the web site21:59
*** krutt has quit IRC21:59
moontigerthe export dumps everything evry time21:59
derfWell, that doesn't leave the .svn directories everywhere.21:59
moontigerthe co only grabs changes21:59
derfAnd it also doesn't cache your password.21:59
cyrus__Stskeeps - all these selecting previously deselected packages messages - are they okay?21:59

cyrus__k22:04
*** qwerty12_N800 has joined #maemo22:04
moontigerso exporting them takes a few seconds (or more over slow link) and the site is "broken" while its happening22:04
*** Veggen_ has quit IRC22:04
derfNah, export to a temporary directory and then mv it in place.22:04
moontigerwell it still doesnt make sense (to me) to export all the files every time when 90%+ havent changed22:05
derfOtherwise you could have an inconsistent state with only some of the files updated when a hit comes.22:05
