l7 | hmm, i just noticed something about time | 00:02 |
---|---|---|
l7 | "time cp" is much faster than "time mv" | 00:03 |
*** housetier has joined #maemo | 00:03 | |
l7 | i guess mv goes back to verify the data or something | 00:03 |
johnx | well it also goes back to delete the other data | 00:03 |
johnx | but yes, I could be convinced it's somehow more careful | 00:04 |
l7 | is there some kind of data verification in mv? | 00:04 |
johnx | maybe? | 00:04 |
l7 | hmm | 00:04 |
l7 | my disk activity graph goes straight up to 5MB/s and hits a plateau | 00:05 |
l7 | with cp | 00:05 |
l7 | with mv, it hits some 4MB/s spikes, but mostly lives around 700KB/s | 00:06 |
l7 | interesting anyway | 00:06 |
l7 | 24 seconds for mv compared to 3 seconds for cp | 00:07 |
*** p| has quit IRC | 00:08 | |
*** pvanhoof has quit IRC | 00:08 | |
johnx | interesting | 00:09 |
johnx | I always assumed they were basically the same thing for disk to disk transfers | 00:10 |
johnx | I guess that's why everyone just does cp && rm ... | 00:10 |
l7 | yeah | 00:10 |
l7 | i wonder if there's any advantages to using mv's verification feature if that is what it is doing | 00:10 |
l7 | maybe there's better ways to verify though | 00:11 |

Stskeeps | Bilaw: it's kinda simple under ubuntu.. it's on the very slow wiki on how to do it :P | 00:44 |
lcuk | can you do the inverse of bluemaemo - and use your laptop keyboard with maemo - simply without the whole vnc thing - just make your laptop app ear as a keyboard for n800 | 00:45 |
mgedmin | it's called ssh | 00:45 |
lcuk | not quite the same | 00:45 |
mgedmin | not really... | 00:45 |

lcuk | Stskeeps, ive heard about that, but only seen it using mouse | 00:45 |
mgedmin | qwerty12_N800: is it in extras? | 00:46 |
Fatal | lcuk: synergy worked fine for me with both mouse and keyboard | 00:46 |
mgedmin | lcuk: synergy (or the equivalent x2x, x2vnc and mango-lassi) is nice | 00:46 |
mgedmin | it redirects your keystrokes to the machine where your shared cursor is at the moment | 00:46 |
lcuk | well then one step further, can bluemaemo work from tablet to tablet? ( i assume it could?) | 00:47 |
Stskeeps | http://internettablettalk.com/forums/showpost.php?p=236140&postcount=26 <- kinda scary long post | 00:47 |

qwerty12_N800 | Stskeeps, two cents? more like $20 :p | 00:49 |
*** aloisiojr has quit IRC | 00:49 | |
Stskeeps | i just kinda wonder if "normal apps" in xephyr could help the issue of non-hildon apps | 00:50 |
Stskeeps | i mean | 00:50 |
Stskeeps | if it's possible to make xephyr do scrolling, maybe in a kinetic fashion, that'd be excellent for integrating non-hildon apps into hildon | 00:50 |
Stskeeps | that'd give you access to normal apps without issues | 00:51 |
Stskeeps | or maybe it changes resolution dynamically | 00:51 |
Stskeeps | :P | 00:51 |

l7 | does it work if you only type 8? | 00:56 |
lcuk | Stskeeps, all i can think of is liqbase, but that involves writing your own software from scratch :) | 00:56 |
johnx | l7, let me check | 00:56 |

johnx | don't post that on ITT. There's probably about 5 users who will ask why Nokia didn't use it on the n8x0... | 02:04 |
GeneralAntilles | Hehe | 02:05 |
l7 | heh | 02:05 |
l7 | are there any good mapping apps that you could run on a netbook? | 02:05 |
johnx | in linux or windows? | 02:05 |
johnx | windows probably has better commercial map software... | 02:06 |
l7 | linux preferably, but windows if comes to that :) | 02:06 |
johnx | on linux: gpsdrive, maemo mapperu, navit and ... hmm...something else I don't remember come to mind | 02:06 |
l7 | hmm, that's not bad | 02:07 |
johnx | the problem being lack of offline routing | 02:07 |
l7 | couldn't you link the netbook to a bluetooth gps? | 02:08 |
johnx | sure, but that doesn't get you routing | 02:08 |
*** Tuco has joined #maemo | 02:08 | |
l7 | hrm, for driving? | 02:08 |
l7 | i was planning more on using it as a navigation tool while on foot | 02:09 |
*** uncorq has quit IRC | 02:09 | |
johnx | and so you just want to see a map? | 02:09 |
johnx | maemo mapper will work fine for that | 02:09 |
l7 | a map and directions | 02:09 |
johnx | directions = routing :) | 02:09 |
l7 | hrm | 02:09 |
johnx | or do you mean compass directions? | 02:09 |
l7 | hrm, maybe the wimax eeepc could solve that problem | 02:10 |
johnx | or some commercial windows software that has offline routing | 02:10 |
l7 | well for walking around the city, just being able to see where i am on the map and my destination point would be fine | 02:10 |
johnx | yeah, same here | 02:10 |
johnx | ...or navit should do routing if openstreetmap has really good maps for your area | 02:11 |
l7 | hrm, what exactly do you mean by offline routing? | 02:11 |
johnx | without an inet connection having the app give you turn-by-turn directions to get someplace | 02:11 |
GeneralAntilles | The N810W is supposedly shipping, but has anybody actually received a production unit? | 02:12 |

*** benh has quit IRC | 02:13 | |
GeneralAntilles | I don't know if he has an actually production unit. | 02:13 |
l7 | hmm, does the app need to talk to a server that sends it turn by turn directions? | 02:13 |
johnx | l7, not if it has a vector map that includes routing metadata | 02:14 |
l7 | i thought it could just figure out how to get to your destination based on your GPS coordinates and the map | 02:14 |
l7 | ah | 02:14 |
l7 | so it needs to understand how the streets are laid out | 02:14 |
johnx | so maemo mapper just uses jpgs/pngs downloaded from google/yahoo maps which of course don't have any routing info embedded | 02:15 |
johnx | they're just pictures | 02:15 |
*** penguinbait has joined #maemo | 02:15 | |
johnx | and the maps that include routing info are largely non-free | 02:15 |
johnx | tiger maps of the US kind of work and are free enough | 02:15 |
l7 | except for openstreet? | 02:15 |
johnx | right, but it's far from complete | 02:16 |
johnx | some areas are pretty great, some are completely blank | 02:16 |

johnx | 'night all | 02:24 |

mgedmin | the faster the better, no? | 02:24 |
l7 | yeah, what is the best bang for the buck in terms of class 6 cards though? :) | 02:25 |
l7 | there's also that x150 x200 spec, which is confusing | 02:25 |
GeneralAntilles | That's for SD cards | 02:25 |
GeneralAntilles | Most everybody is pretty much equal | 02:25 |
GeneralAntilles | Except SanDisk | 02:25 |
GeneralAntilles | Which is better, but you pay for the quality. | 02:26 |
l7 | how much faster is sandisk? | 02:26 |
l7 | perhaps a small 1 2 or 4 gig sandisk would be worth it for booting | 02:26 |

*** TokyoDan has quit IRC | 04:01 | |
*** alex-weej has quit IRC | 04:05 | |
GeneralAntilles | "Full web" means such radically different things to different people that it's hardly a metric worth discussing. | 04:08 |
ShadowJK_ | indeed | 04:09 |
ShadowJK_ | personally I'd want more ram so I could click more than a few links with my "one tab/window per link" browsing style before things grind to a halt :) | 04:10 |
GeneralAntilles | Yeah | 04:10 |
GeneralAntilles | I'm such a tab whore. | 04:10 |
ShadowJK_ | And this really starts from that I hate waiting for pages to load, so I click a bunch of links so that they load in the background so that I don't have to wait all the time, which is what happens if you do the follow link, back, follow another link, back style... | 04:11 |
GeneralAntilles | I go back to XChat waiting for pages to load | 04:14 |
GeneralAntilles | which doesn't work either, as MicroB's an attention whore and tops itself a hundred thousand times. | 04:15 |

disco_stu | the browser is stupid when you load it, and it shows and hides hildon-input-keyboard | 05:16 |
ShadowJK_ | as I'm clueless about maemo, are all the browser components open? i.e. could we remove the RaiseWindow calls and compile our own.. | 05:17 |
GeneralAntilles | The browser basically has to re-implement text input from scratch. | 05:17 |
ShadowJK_ | Oh yeah, I have focus issues with the location field, but that's another story :) | 05:17 |
GeneralAntilles | The "Mozilla based browser for Maemo" or "tablet-browser" effectively makes up two parts | 05:17 |
GeneralAntilles | First, MicroB the open source browser engine based on Firefox | 05:18 |
l7 | hmm, isn't there some sort of "open new windows in background" option for microb? | 05:18 |

l7 | GeneralAntilles: oh good | 05:18 |
GeneralAntilles | http://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1695 | 05:18 |
ShadowJK_ | do you really need RaiseWindow in the app for matchbox to be able to command it to front...? | 05:19 |

ShadowJK_ | hmm | 05:19 |
*** uncorq has joined #maemo | 05:19 | |

disco_stu | is time to try windows 3.11 | 05:21 |
GeneralAntilles | Ha, Boingo support finally gets back to me the day after I talk to one of the managers. | 05:21 |
GeneralAntilles | l7, well, RAM is extremely limited. | 05:22 |
GeneralAntilles | l7, you open more than a few windows and you're getting close to OOM. | 05:22 |
l7 | too bad we can't just pop in some sodimms :) | 05:22 |
GeneralAntilles | Which means something has to give, and that means closing windows | 05:22 |
GeneralAntilles | which is just not very nice. | 05:23 |
l7 | hrm | 05:23 |
GeneralAntilles | So anything that encourages opening more windows is probably not desirable. | 05:23 |
l7 | it is nice to let one window load in the background while you keep reading the main article though | 05:23 |
GeneralAntilles | Rock and a hard place sort of deal. | 05:23 |
l7 | i mean that's like 2, maybe 3 browser windows at most | 05:23 |
GeneralAntilles | Yeah, but you know people wont use it that way | 05:24 |
l7 | it's just about the convenience of being able to keep reading the current page without being interupted | 05:24 |
GeneralAntilles | and what do they say when Flash or JavaScript stops working for seemingly no reason? Or a window closes? | 05:24 |
l7 | well.... they can suffer the consequences :) | 05:24 |
GeneralAntilles | The consequences of opening browser windows? :P | 05:24 |
l7 | put a big red warning box over the option :) | 05:24 |
GeneralAntilles | It's not a nice situation however you look at it. | 05:24 |

TokyoDan | The Maemo PC Connectivity explanation isn't clear about what development environment configuration is/isn't necessary when using the Eclipse Pluthon plug-in instead of the ESBox/Scratchbox plugin. | 05:43 |
TokyoDan | ----- | 05:43 |
TokyoDan | Pluthon = develop Maemo apps on PC, run and test on actual Maemo device. | 05:43 |
TokyoDan | ESBox = develop, run & test Maemo apps in scratchbox environment on PC. | 05:43 |
TokyoDan | ----- | 05:43 |
TokyoDan | What's not clear is what needs to be configured when using Pluthon for development: | 05:43 |
TokyoDan | 1. SSH: Configure for ability to establish a connection without need to enter a password. | 05:43 |
TokyoDan | I did this. | 05:43 |
TokyoDan | 2. SSHFS: Configure for ability to access Maemo device filesystem from a mount on the PC. | 05:43 |
TokyoDan | This may be necessary if using ESBox, but is it also necessary if using Pluthon instead of ESBox? | 05:43 |
TokyoDan | 3. SBRSH: Scratchbox Remote Shell. | 05:43 |
TokyoDan | I don't believe this is necessary since I won't be using ESBox/Scratchbox on the PC to develop Maemo apps. The apps will be run & tested on the Maemo device. | 05:43 |

GeneralAntilles | Yes | 07:29 |
GeneralAntilles | Moved from folders to a real database. | 07:29 |
zackeroo | oh | 07:30 |
zackeroo | I dunno about that .. | 07:30 |
zackeroo | so its back to square one ... | 07:30 |
zackeroo | :) | 07:31 |
GeneralAntilles | It's largely because Google throttles big map downloads. | 07:31 |
zackeroo | yeah ... which is why I wish people would share the downloads they have done | 07:32 |
zackeroo | like if someone already downloaded an area or city they could share that online .... torrent it or something ... | 07:32 |
zackeroo | no? | 07:32 |
GeneralAntilles | Eh | 07:34 |
GeneralAntilles | Sounds like a lot of work for little reward | 07:34 |
GeneralAntilles | Besides, how do you integrate a database of the northeast with a database of the southwest? | 07:34 |
GeneralAntilles | You have one database per repository. | 07:34 |
zackeroo | but is it even true when maemo mapper says it will need to download 12GB for an area ? | 07:34 |
GeneralAntilles | It can be less depending on the number of duplicate tiles | 07:35 |
GeneralAntilles | which the database method accounts for. | 07:35 |
GeneralAntilles | But, generally speaking, they're raster maps and not particularly small. | 07:36 |
zackeroo | so it could be less than what it says it will need to download | 07:37 |
GeneralAntilles | Usually isn't | 07:37 |
GeneralAntilles | Especially for urban areas | 07:37 |
GeneralAntilles | unless the area you're downloading is mostly water | 07:37 |
zackeroo | how about the option to download "Along Route" ... how does that work? | 07:38 |
GeneralAntilles | Once you have a route, it downloads x number of tiles along it. | 07:39 |
GeneralAntilles | Get a piece of graph paper, draw a squiggly line | 07:39 |
zackeroo | "have a route" please explain | 07:39 |
GeneralAntilles | It downloads the tiles that line intersects | 07:39 |
GeneralAntilles | A navigation route | 07:40 |
GeneralAntilles | A GPX track | 07:40 |
GeneralAntilles | Directions from point a to point b. | 07:40 |
GeneralAntilles | It's right at the top of the menu. | 07:40 |
zackeroo | I downloaded a route from gnuite .. does that count? | 07:40 |
*** TokyoDan has quit IRC | 07:40 | |
GeneralAntilles | A route is just a gpx track | 07:40 |
GeneralAntilles | so it can be any gpx track | 07:40 |
GeneralAntilles | Shows up as a green line on the map by default. | 07:41 |
zackeroo | so I now have a route from Melbourne to Sydney ... and there is a green line on my map showing the route | 07:41 |
*** legind_ is now known as legind | 07:42 | |
zackeroo | to download that route ... I should use the "Along Route" option ... right? | 07:42 |
GeneralAntilles | To download tiles along the route. | 07:42 |
zackeroo | but ... what is the number there for ? | 07:42 |
zackeroo | its on number 8 at the moment | 07:43 |
GeneralAntilles | That's how many tiles wide around the route it should download. . . . | 07:43 |
zackeroo | is there a way to see the tile grid so I can know what that means? | 07:44 |
zackeroo | like how far is 8 tiles? | 07:44 |
GeneralAntilles | Depends on the zoom level. | 07:44 |
zackeroo | zoom levels 6,8 and 10 | 07:45 |
zackeroo | for instance | 07:45 |
zackeroo | I wish google maps showed the grid ... that would be helpful | 07:46 |
zackeroo | oh and by the way ... I never got flite to work .... so no voices ... :( | 07:47 |
zackeroo | is there a way to tell how large a tile is? | 07:47 |
*** rsalveti has quit IRC | 07:48 | |
GeneralAntilles | Fullscreen it's about 8 tiles at any particular zoom level. | 07:48 |

zackeroo | ok... well I did 5 tiles ... at 6,8 and 10 zoom | 07:49 |

zackeroo | is there a way to stop that GPS notification popup? | 07:50 |
GeneralAntilles | popup? | 07:51 |
zackeroo | says stuff like "Turn Right at such and such street" | 07:51 |

zackeroo | ok well ... without voice this is still useless as a GPS device ... :( | 09:24 |
zackeroo | I mean I payed $350 for this thing ... I could have paid $100 for an ordinary GPS device, but i bought this becasue I thought I was getting a GPS device + lots more ... | 09:25 |
zackeroo | turns out I got "lots more" minus the GPS services ... | 09:26 |
GeneralAntilles | "Map" gives you what you're after. | 09:27 |
zackeroo | or i have to fork out another X amount of bucks to get MAP to work ... which, as I am reading reviews, does not get a fantastic score either | 09:27 |
*** benh has quit IRC | 09:27 | |
zackeroo | and then this will have cost me about $450 which is a tad bit outragous imo for a GPS device that is ireless as well and has a few other apps and things you can do .... | 09:28 |
GeneralAntilles | You bought it for the wrong reasons | 09:28 |
GeneralAntilles | It's a handheld laptop than can also do some GPS work on the side. | 09:28 |
zackeroo | I bought it for reasons it was advertised | 09:28 |
GeneralAntilles | You did realize that GPS navigation wasn't included in the price of the device, though, right? :\ | 09:29 |
zackeroo | when I came here and read up on it, and on maemo-mapper, people were full of praise about it ... | 09:29 |
zackeroo | then as I am working through getting it to work its practically no fun .... there is no clearly marked out documentation on mapper and its easiness to use and setup .... I am also being told that i can have sound in mapper ... "of course you can" ppl say ... | 09:31 |
zackeroo | but is it working for me? ... no! and that is what is frustrating .... | 09:31 |
GeneralAntilles | Maemo Mapper has built-in help. | 09:31 |
GeneralAntilles | It's quite good. | 09:31 |
zackeroo | show me the where I can read about how to setup flite ... | 09:32 |
zackeroo | or audio | 09:32 |
GeneralAntilles | It should just work. | 09:32 |
GeneralAntilles | There's probably something wrong with your particularly setup. | 09:33 |
GeneralAntilles | You could always try mailing maem-users. | 09:33 |
zackeroo | yeah ... and I am a basic user ... I have not fiddled with anything in-depth | 09:33 |
zackeroo | this is where OS looses out ... its too complex for the basic user to figure out ... | 09:33 |
zackeroo | we don't want to have to debug and all that | 09:34 |
GeneralAntilles | Eh | 09:34 |
zackeroo | :) | 09:34 |
GeneralAntilles | It's simple enough if you use it for what it's intended for | 09:34 |
GeneralAntilles | But it's not a platform for the feint of heart if you want to expand beyond that. | 09:34 |
zackeroo | well.. that is what I am doing .... no? | 09:34 |
zackeroo | I am working onthe very basic level here .... | 09:34 |
zackeroo | like you said "it should just work" | 09:35 |
GeneralAntilles | I suspect you'll have the most fun with the platform if you look at it as a learning experience | 09:35 |
RST38h | moo all | 09:35 |
GeneralAntilles | Howdy, RST38h. | 09:35 |
zackeroo | do the developers ever ask themselves "so what happens if it doesn't work?" | 09:35 |
zackeroo | a "learning experience"? | 09:35 |
RST38h | ehlo, General | 09:35 |
zackeroo | so what you mean is this thing is not ready for the GP | 09:36 |
zackeroo | at least some of its features | 09:36 |
GeneralAntilles | Like I said earlier, the basic features work fine. | 09:36 |
RST38h | what thing? maemo? | 09:36 |
zackeroo | or some of the apps built for it.... | 09:36 |
zackeroo | is maemo-mapper and audio not basic? | 09:36 |
zackeroo | I think its basic .... | 09:36 |
zackeroo | and, again, where in the mapper help is there any info about getting Audio to work? | 09:37 |

Stskeeps | johnx: well, this one was optimized for n8x0 specifically | 13:35 |
Stskeeps | this is -vfp thoug | 13:35 |
Stskeeps | h | 13:36 |
johnx | are there armv6 CPUs without vfp? | 13:36 |
kulve | I think so. And I also think that there are armv5 cpus with vfp | 13:36 |
suihkulokki | is there anything else that uses floats in glibc except libm ? | 13:36 |
Stskeeps | good question, but for the apps that use libm this might be an advantage :P | 13:37 |
RST38h | johnx: yes | 13:38 |
RST38h | VFP is really optional | 13:39 |
Stskeeps | johnx: anyway this package was just an attempt to see if it helps any to optimize specifically, not something that'd go in an "ordinary" install | 13:39 |
johnx | of course, just doing a brain-dump over here :) | 13:39 |

RST38h | A pity that with oil prices going down, we will not see the rise of mass-transit in the US, would be good for the mobile tech | 13:45 |
suihkulokki | Stskeeps: I mean, then you only need to compile a optimized version libm, not the whole shebang | 13:46 |
Stskeeps | suihkulokki: possibly, but did you see glibc package recently? :P | 13:47 |
Stskeeps | it even runs test caes | 13:47 |
Stskeeps | cases | 13:47 |
Stskeeps | (which i disabled after it crashed my builder) | 13:47 |

TokyoDan | I created a python file called Hello.py the I open the X Terminal do a ls -l and see that the file is 644 and owned by User. I try chmod 777 on it but it remains 644. Funny thing is if i do chmod 111 the the permissions become ---------. | 14:46 |

TokyoDan | Hello GeneralAntilles:& johnx. I tried as both user and root. And the file is on the internal sd card. | 14:50 |
johnx | two things: file systems that are formatted as FAT can't really hold file permissions. Also, the internal card is mounted noexec | 14:51 |

*** blade_runner has joined #maemo | 15:21 | |
Jaffa | GeneralAntilles: So where's the measurement to back up the assertion? It seems odd to carefully measure two idle chargers (with an enormous difference in idle current) but then just *say* the tablet's message uses more energy; without any figure. | 15:22 |
johnx | TokyoDan1, in /usr/bin because that's in your $PATH | 15:22 |

TokyoDan1 | That makes sense johnx. | 15:26 |
GAN800 | Jaffa, I can't just let idiocy like that go down without any objection. | 15:26 |
Jaffa | Either it's a realistic attempt to change the behaviour, especially if the reasoning behind it is empirically provable as faulty, or it's just noise in Bugzilla to act as a rant. | 15:26 |

X-Fade | GAN800: About the usage of wrong sections: I've asked Ed if he can implement a rule to force all "wrong" sections to user/other in the autobuilder. | 16:24 |
X-Fade | GAN800: I'll find out if we can do that easily and after that will write up a proposal for moving forward. | 16:25 |
GeneralAntilles | Graham flipped a shit last time that was suggested. | 16:25 |
X-Fade | Hehe, we talked with him at the summit. | 16:26 |
X-Fade | I think Jaffa and I can talk with him if that is the case. | 16:27 |
GeneralAntilles | Honestly, I'd rather see it implemented either as a simple warning (or maybe a complete built-refusal at the autobuilder level) and handle the section enforcement at the Application manager level. | 16:27 |
X-Fade | Well, the warning will come as soon as we have a list ;) | 16:27 |
GeneralAntilles | Of course. | 16:27 |
Jaffa | Indeed, isn't it the App Mgr's job to ignore sections, rather than making the autobuilder move them? | 16:28 |
X-Fade | So we might want to get a preliminary list over the weekend. | 16:28 |
*** Sho_ has quit IRC | 16:28 | |
Jaffa | That just encourages people to get sniffy about the autobuilder. Have it as a warning, but then we make App Mgr only show the standard (and i18nable) sections | 16:28 |
Jaffa | X-Fade: agreed | 16:28 |
X-Fade | Jaffa: But there is my main issue: | 16:29 |
X-Fade | If we are going for the subsections, do we want to create all subsections beforehand. | 16:29 |
Jaffa | Ah. True. | 16:29 |
* GeneralAntilles hates categorization so much. | 16:30 | |
X-Fade | Or do we want to allow people to create _sub_sections themselves ;) | 16:30 |
Jaffa | That's a more specific case of the problem I just thought of: changing the sections without redeploying | 16:30 |
GeneralAntilles | I was looking for inspiration on the types of sections that might be useful | 16:30 |
GeneralAntilles | it's interesting to see the sorts of systems other people use | 16:31 |
GeneralAntilles | http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/ | 16:31 |
Jaffa | I'm relatively happy with arbitrary subsections, as long as they are named after the package, rather than some arbitrary thing the developer thinks other people should use | 16:31 |
johnx | suihkulokki, ok, that site is just crashing debian's midori... | 16:31 |

Jaffa | Accessories, Games, Graphics, Internet(/Networking), Office, Programming, Sound & Video, System(/System Tools). | 16:35 |
Jaffa | "Support" sounds useless to me. But I've not looked at the rationale recently. | 16:35 |
johnx | GeneralAntilles, I vote "System" for that | 16:35 |
*** GNUton has joined #maemo | 16:35 | |
Jaffa | rotation-support is user/system - it's something the user installs once and never accesses as an application | 16:35 |
X-Fade | Jaffa: Support can be help documentation, language support etc? | 16:36 |
GNUton | hi | 16:36 |

X-Fade | Mek: Interesting. | 16:37 |
Jaffa | X-Fade: "Documentation" or "Help" would seem better. Language support for the OS, is an interesting question. But for a particular app it should be something like "user/multimedia/Canola", "Package: canola-language-pack-ru" (or something) | 16:37 |

*** Hrw|n810 has quit IRC | 16:40 | |
X-Fade | Jaffa: Localization. | 16:40 |
X-Fade | Jaffa: So the 'technical english' term is used for the packager. And the AM shows it localized? | 16:40 |
Jaffa | Ye-es. But in the specific Canola example, the system's not going to be able to have l10n for 'canola' before installing some Canola-related package. | 16:41 |
Jaffa | X-Fade: Or are you envisaging sub-sections for *not* grouping together the multi-package app stuff? | 16:41 |
X-Fade | Jaffa: Well, I'm not sure about that. | 16:42 |
X-Fade | It all depends on how we can transform the AM. | 16:42 |
X-Fade | This whole mess would be better if the AM displayed it better. | 16:42 |
GeneralAntilles | I wonder if we'll be able to talk m-vo into tossing in a few minor changes to make the categories view mildly bearable. | 16:42 |
X-Fade | But still. | 16:42 |
Jaffa | X-Fade: ah :) | 16:43 |
X-Fade | GeneralAntilles: I have talked with mvo about that in the past. | 16:43 |
GeneralAntilles | I'd like to see at least one of my improved views implemented | 16:43 |
X-Fade | GeneralAntilles: He was willing to give some people access to the svn as long as they worked in a separate branch. | 16:43 |
GeneralAntilles | But I doubt he has time on that. | 16:43 |
GeneralAntilles | s/on/for/ | 16:43 |
infobot | GeneralAntilles meant: But I doubt he has time for that. | 16:43 |
X-Fade | GeneralAntilles: Correct, he doesn't have the time. But does want to patch if a patch is ready. | 16:44 |
GeneralAntilles | X-Fade, I've yet to get anybody to step up for that so far. :\ | 16:44 |
Jaffa | Patches should work, as long as a) they get accepted; b) they don't duplicate work he's already doing | 16:44 |
Jaffa | lardman and I started discussing having time for it. | 16:44 |
GeneralAntilles | Really wish we knew something about what sort of direction Fremantle will be taking. . . . | 16:44 |

Jaffa | Last weekend's room rearrangement took about 1.5 days longer than the 1 day I allocated, though | 16:44 |
Jaffa | GeneralAntilles: indeed. | 16:44 |
Jaffa | The existing UI's hardly a compelling finger experience (mmm, just make the buttons bigger) | 16:45 |
Jaffa | I like the old idea of a tag cloud | 16:45 |
GeneralAntilles | Wish the list rendering were optimized | 16:45 |
Jaffa | If you've just got a device and are going to install something to play with it, what category has the most breadth | 16:45 |
X-Fade | Jaffa: And add a thumb scroll bar ;) | 16:46 |
Jaffa | GeneralAntilles: s/optimized/in any way sensible/ | 16:46 |
GeneralAntilles | I still don't get why it needs to regenerate the whole damn list. | 16:46 |
Jaffa | X-Fade: :) | 16:46 |
MangoFusion | why even have categories anyway | 16:46 |
X-Fade | Jaffa: Well you laugh, but things like that would help a lot ;) | 16:46 |
MangoFusion | usually if i want to install something, i already know what it is called | 16:46 |
Jaffa | GeneralAntilles: Because it's a frontend, and isn't fully integrated into apt. So it doesn't know what packages have been installed when you install package `a'. | 16:46 |
Jaffa | MangoFusion: Effectively - at the moment - we don't. | 16:46 |
GeneralAntilles | Personally, I like browsing. | 16:47 |
Jaffa | MangoFusion: There's a use case of "I want to install a video player, don't show me bible reading software"; or "I want a new game" | 16:47 |
GeneralAntilles | But the "All" list is starting to get a bit big for that. | 16:47 |
MangoFusion | i guess | 16:47 |
MangoFusion | in any case | 16:47 |
MangoFusion | would be nice if i could quickly see the description of an app | 16:47 |
GeneralAntilles | I want some "New packages" and "Popular packages" buttons hooked into Downloads. | 16:48 |
MangoFusion | most of the time it just lists an ambiguous name (if it does fit on the screen) | 16:48 |
X-Fade | MangoFusion: True, but you won't be able to do that with 'ALL' in a list of 500 entries or more ;) | 16:48 |
MangoFusion | bah, i'll just let you guy's sort it out ;) | 16:49 |
GeneralAntilles | So many ideas, too few people with the time and skills to implement them. | 16:50 |
Jaffa | Or inclination without, as you say, knowing what Nokia's plans are (there must be some) | 16:51 |
X-Fade | GeneralAntilles: I have the solution! | 16:51 |
X-Fade | GeneralAntilles: Make AM a Maemo 5 champion! | 16:51 |
Jaffa | Generally, software (including Maemo) improves over time. Why bother hurting ourselves now when Nokia might do it "for us" over then ext 9 moonths | 16:51 |
GeneralAntilles | Ha | 16:51 |
Jaffa | Actually, that's not a bad idea | 16:51 |
X-Fade | The killer app we want Nokia to support! | 16:51 |
Jaffa | In fact, I think it's a reallt *good* idea. | 16:52 |

lcuk | you jammy b'strd | 21:21 |
Khertan_n810 | RST38h: for alarm ? | 21:21 |
Khertan_n810 | just datetime | 21:21 |
*** profoX` has quit IRC | 21:21 | |
RST38h | Khertan: what I really want to know is whether you want to show a single alarm only, or all the alarms for some time period | 21:22 |
RST38h | depending on which one it is, the ui will be different | 21:22 |
lcuk | or just the list of all alarms known to the system | 21:23 |
Khertan_n810 | ah all alarms for an events | 21:24 |
RST38h | if it is just one alarm, then use huge letters centered at the screen and simulate those flip-over displays is possible | 21:24 |
Khertan_n810 | lcuk: jammy b'strd ?? | 21:24 |
RST38h | all alarms globally, use a time-sorted vertical list | 21:25 |
RST38h | if it is alarms-by day, use vertical list for days and divide each list item vertically by hour | 21:25 |
lcuk | heh khertan, it was aimed at qwerty12_N800, i dont know how to pronounce it without sounding northen | 21:25 |
qwerty12_N800 | lol | 21:25 |
lcuk | how many alarms are people expecting? | 21:25 |
Khertan_n810 | in fact in next futur beautifull better calendar ever seen in the universe | 21:25 |
Khertan_n810 | an event can have | 21:26 |
Khertan_n810 | multiple alarms | 21:26 |
RST38h | btw, check how Papyrus does it - you may get some ideas | 21:26 |
Khertan_n810 | on a single event | 21:26 |
RST38h | Papyrus is very popular | 21:26 |
lcuk | and? those are reminders beforehand and shouldnt be part of the typical views? | 21:26 |
Khertan_n810 | papyrus ? | 21:26 |
lcuk | anymore than a dot somewhere at least | 21:26 |
Khertan_n810 | they found how to include alarm in papyrus by a genetic way ? | 21:27 |
lcuk | "in 3 minutes the alarm will go off to remind you that in 5 minutes an alarm will be going off to remind you that a task should have been finished 5 minutes before" | 21:27 |
lcuk | just show the tasks and events - and if those tasks have reminder bings they dont need disyplaying on the generic list | 21:27 |
Khertan_n810 | hum ... i could add this option for you lcuk :) | 21:27 |
lcuk | \o | 21:27 |
lcuk | o/ | 21:27 |
Khertan_n810 | this is for editing it :) | 21:28 |
RST38h | Khertan: http://www.smartphone.net/software_detail.asp?id=1085 | 21:28 |
Khertan_n810 | not displaying it in the generic list | 21:28 |
lcuk | how many reminders do you need? | 21:28 |
Khertan_n810 | sometimes 7 or 8 :) | 21:28 |
lcuk | fix the problem upstream | 21:28 |
Khertan_n810 | it s not a problem | 21:29 |
lcuk | so for 1 event you need 7 reminders? | 21:29 |
Khertan_n810 | yep example ... one event starting monday and finishing friday | 21:29 |
Khertan_n810 | you can need event each day at 9h | 21:30 |
Khertan_n810 | :) | 21:30 |
*** guardian__ has quit IRC | 21:30 | |

*** SpongeBob is now known as Gary | 21:32 | |
RST38h | Khertan: use colors | 21:32 |
Khertan_n810 | not reccuring ... it a single event wich is 5 day long | 21:32 |
RST38h | lcuk: I think he needs an event that lasts multiple days | 21:32 |
lcuk | i know the problem, outlook does it | 21:32 |
RST38h | Khertan: Ok, let us say you have a vertical list by day. | 21:32 |
Khertan_n810 | no no i just need a way to display thing nicely to edit the reminder list of one event | 21:33 |
RST38h | Khertan: To denote such a long event, you use a certain color to start it on monday and finish it some time on friday | 21:33 |
RST38h | And let the user drag those boundaries with his finger | 21:33 |
Khertan_n810 | hum i ll take my car ... | 21:34 |
Khertan_n810 | see you tomorrow | 21:34 |

RST38h | lcuk: I have | 21:40 |
RST38h | lcuk: Always went back to sleep though =) | 21:40 |
lcuk | heh, well i had one of the moments last night | 21:40 |
RST38h | did you write it down? | 21:40 |
RST38h | was it about banana being smaller than its skin? | 21:40 |
lcuk | so i reached over for my 810, opened my eyes and slid the keyboard out and almost blinded my fscking self - i almost threw it across the room | 21:40 |

RST38h | yep. advanced blacklight it is. | 21:41 |
lcuk | normally i leave it on minimum (thx to abl) | 21:41 |
lcuk | and in liqbase cos its dark | 21:41 |
lcuk | but this time it was on max and brightwhite | 21:41 |
Stskeeps | like the flash of a thousand suns | 21:41 |
lcuk | yeah sts | 21:42 |
lcuk | have you seen the flash that liqbase does when you take a photo? | 21:42 |
Stskeeps | nop | 21:42 |
RST38h | Does Nokia use LEDs or the traditional backlight? | 21:42 |
lcuk | heh, its very useful, people know the pic was took and carry on moving again | 21:42 |
lcuk | i dunno rst, it was too bright last night | 21:43 |
lcuk | i want my nokia to know and respect what time it is and the fact i put it to sleep | 21:43 |
lcuk | and it should never wake me up like that again | 21:43 |
RST38h | lcuk: it should also talk back to you! | 21:43 |
ShadowJK_ | if advanced backlight only supported using the light sensor :( | 21:43 |
lcuk | my sensor is covered over all the time | 21:44 |
