l7hmm, i just noticed something about time00:02
l7"time cp" is much faster than "time mv"00:03
*** housetier has joined #maemo00:03
l7i guess mv goes back to verify the data or something00:03
johnxwell it also goes back to delete the other data00:03
johnxbut yes, I could be convinced it's somehow more careful00:04
l7is there some kind of data verification in mv?00:04
johnxmaybe?00:04
l7hmm00:04
l7my disk activity graph goes straight up to 5MB/s and hits a plateau00:05
l7with cp00:05
l7with mv, it hits some 4MB/s spikes, but mostly lives around 700KB/s00:06
l7interesting anyway00:06
l724 seconds for mv compared to 3 seconds for cp00:07
*** p| has quit IRC00:08
*** pvanhoof has quit IRC00:08
johnxinteresting00:09
johnxI always assumed they were basically the same thing for disk to disk transfers00:10
johnxI guess that's why everyone just does cp && rm ...00:10
l7yeah00:10
l7i wonder if there's any advantages to using mv's verification feature if that is what it is doing00:10
l7maybe there's better ways to verify though00:11

Stskeepsmv inside same fs or other?00:11
BilawI found the wiki.maemo pages on updating my firmware (I use Ubuntu), but I get an error message: "./flasher-3.0" not found. Can anyone help?00:12
l7from HFS+ to FAT3200:12
StskeepsBilaw: did you download flasher-3.0 from tablets-dev.nokia.com?00:12
Stskeepsor -static00:12
Bilaw(silly me!) Er... in a matter of minutes... Where should I shove it, once downloaded?00:13
Stskeepsdoesn't matter, anywhere but a fat32 file system00:13
Stskeeps:P00:13
Stskeepsor a place with noexec00:13
l7hmm, maybe macs aren't the best platforms to test read / write speeds with this Spotlight's annoying indexing00:14

Bilaw(Still waiting... Should I worry now, or postpone worrying?)00:26
mgedminstill waiting?00:30
BilawYes mgedmin...00:31
BilawI s'ppose that is not good?00:31
mgedminhow did you run flasher?00:31
Bilawthe N810 does not seem to be doing anything, either...00:31
*** Ryback_ has quit IRC00:31
mgedminI mean, what was the exact command line?00:31
Bilawsudo ./flasher-3.0.amd64 -F RX-44_DIABLO_4.2008.23-14_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin -f -R00:31
mgedminhmm00:32
mgedminoh, are you sure you quoted the message correctly?00:32
mgedminperhaps it was "Suitable USB device *not* found, waiting..."?00:32
Bilaw(it did launch a whole bucnh of "images"... but the last message asked me to wait, and here we are, about 4 mn later!00:32
l7hmm, anyone know why there seems to be so little activity on the internettablet wiki?00:32
BilawHolly mackerel, youre right!00:32
mgedminwas there a green progress bar on the screen of your n810?00:32
BilawOK. Back from scratch, mgedmin: it *does* say USB NOT found.00:33
mgedminahh ok00:33
mgedminthat's good00:33
mgedminthe next step is to turn on the n81000:33
*** mardi__ has quit IRC00:33
qwerty12_N800l7, it's all about wiki.maemo.org :p00:33
Bilaw(I swear I am not usually this dense...)00:33
mgedminif it is already on, turn it off, unplug from charger, plug in usb cable, turn it on00:33
mgedminthen the flasher will notice it as it boots up00:33
*** mardi__ has joined #maemo00:34
l7qwerty12_N800: ah, well as long as there's one active wiki, i am happy00:34
johnxqwerty12_N800, which is down right now :/00:34
Bilaw(don't talk, people, I need to copy and paste what mgedmin juste said!)00:34
l7johnx: ouch, so i see00:34
qwerty12_N800johnx, maemo.org servers suck balls, what can i say :/00:35
l7bleh, is it possible to export to the wiki to some other hosting site?00:35
l7assuming all the contributions are CC licensed or whatever00:35
l7though it was moinmoin wiki from what i recall, and i don't remember too many free moinmoin hosts00:36
Bilaw... Finishing Flashing... done00:37
BilawIt looks like it is all correct, mgedmin!00:37
*** Sera88 has quit IRC00:37
l7man, archive.org didn't index the maemo wiki much00:37
BilawWell, many thanks, johnx, Fatal, and mgedmin!00:38
johnxsure :)00:38
BilawNow, another question: is it as complicated to install applications from my PC, given that I have no wifi connection available?00:39

mgedminor transfer them to the memory card one-by-one00:43
mgedmindoing painful manual dependency tracking00:43
mgedmintedious and painful00:43
mgedminand boring00:43
lcukhow many people sit here with their n800 in front of them along with a desktop machine?00:43
mgedmindo laptops count?00:44
* johnx raises his hand00:44
lcukyes certainly00:44
*** chmac has joined #maemo00:44
Stskeepslcuk: on the side, though a laptop00:44
Bilawhm... hours and hours of forthcoming fun, as we say here, Stskeeps00:44
mgedmineveryone who is flashing a new os image?00:44
Khertan_n810and if i m not sit count ?00:44
StskeepsBilaw: it's kinda simple under ubuntu.. it's on the very slow wiki on how to do it :P00:44
lcukcan 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 n80000:45
mgedminit's called ssh00:45
lcuknot quite the same00:45
mgedminnot really...00:45
lcukim thinking within gui apps00:45
Stskeepslcuk: synergy00:45
mgedminI was looking for a vnc server running on maemo once00:45
BilawI'm lost, Stskeeps: whats the very slow wiki?00:45
*** chmac has quit IRC00:45
StskeepsBilaw: wiki.maemo.org00:45
qwerty12_N800mgedmin, x11vnc?00:45
BilawI'll go look it up00:45
lcukStskeeps, ive heard about that, but only seen it using mouse00:45
mgedminqwerty12_N800: is it in extras?00:46
Fatallcuk: synergy worked fine for me with both mouse and keyboard00:46
mgedminlcuk: synergy (or the equivalent x2x, x2vnc and mango-lassi) is nice00:46
mgedminit redirects your keystrokes to the machine where your shared cursor is at the moment00:46
lcukwell then one step further, can bluemaemo work from tablet to tablet? ( i assume it could?)00:47
Stskeepshttp://internettablettalk.com/forums/showpost.php?p=236140&postcount=26 <- kinda scary long post00:47
qwerty12_N800mgedmin, no :(. i actually built the latest version from cvs but never got round to debianising it. right now a dodgy deb lies somewhere in my /scratchbox...00:47
lcukjust based on this: http://liqbase.net/double_tiny.JPG00:47
Stskeepswhat is it qole uses in easy debian again? xephyr?00:48
qwerty12_N800Stskeeps, two cents? more like $20 :p00:49
*** aloisiojr has quit IRC00:49
Stskeepsi just kinda wonder if "normal apps" in xephyr could help the issue of non-hildon apps00:50
Stskeepsi mean00:50
Stskeepsif it's possible to make xephyr do scrolling, maybe in a kinetic fashion, that'd be excellent for integrating non-hildon apps into hildon00:50
Stskeepsthat'd give you access to normal apps without issues00:51
Stskeepsor maybe it changes resolution dynamically00:51
Stskeeps:P00:51
Stskeeps.. am i ranting or is this a good idea?00:51
johnxStskeeps, that is a pretty impressive wishlist. I think I wrote one for santa like that when I was a kid...00:51
Stskeepsyeah00:52
Stskeepsi think he just summarized iTT through the last year00:52
l7qwerty12_N800: thanks, rootsh worked like a charm :)00:52
*** Guest5268 has quit IRC00:52
qwerty12_N800l7, no problems :D00:52
l7i'm a bit surprised the n800 only supports 8 character passwords though00:52
Stskeepssaves memory00:52
Stskeeps!00:52
Stskeeps:P00:52
l7heh00:52
l7is there any way to improve that?00:52
l7i guess it's not like i'm using it for a webserver00:52
l7though it would make a cool server00:53
johnxwait, which password?00:55
l7the root password00:55
Stskeepsno comment from anyone about my embed a non-hildon app in hildon by embedding it in a hildon window and using kinetic scrolling to scroll to the invisible parts? :P00:55
johnxI just set it to a 10 char password...00:56
l7does it work if you only type 8?00:56
lcukStskeeps, all i can think of is liqbase, but that involves writing your own software from scratch :)00:56
johnxl7, let me check00:56
qwerty12_N800johnx likes living dangerously00:56
l7Enter the new password (minimum of 5, maximum of 8 characters)00:56
l7heh00:56
Stskeepslcuk: liqwm00:56
Stskeepsthat'd really be excellent though00:57
johnxStskeeps, seems like it would use lots of resources and present some real challenges to deal with click+drag in apps00:57
Stskeepsjohnx: true00:57
*** renato has quit IRC00:57
* Stskeeps puts it in his idea bag for hibernation00:57
johnxl7, nope. won't let me in with the first 800:57
Stskeepsnow why on bloody earth does dpkg-buildpackage of glibc test all iconv charsets?00:57
johnxwhere did you see the "less than 8 bit"?00:57
l7login as root and type passwd00:58
Bilawhaving read a little of the USB networking, my answer is: not now, Stskeeps!00:58
Stskeepspft.00:58
BilawBut I'll sure keep this in mind!00:58
johnxl7, I just did ...00:58
l7what did it say?00:58
johnxl7, just enter new UNIX password:00:58
l7weird...00:58
* lcuk puts it in his idea bag as well :)00:58
l7that's it?00:58
l7i got:00:58
l7Changing password for user00:58
l7Enter the new password (minimum of 5, maximum of 8 characters)00:58
l7Please use a combination of upper and lower case letters and numbers.00:58
l7looks the same for root00:59
johnxl7, I just remembered. the n800 is booted into debian :)00:59
l7i'm pretty sure i'm patched to the most recent version too00:59
l7aaah :)00:59
* johnx should get some sleep00:59
*** hfwilke has quit IRC00:59
l7heh00:59
johnxthat's what I get for long running ssh sessions with the screen off00:59
macouteheh00:59
Stskeepsjohnx: one thing im wondering about is if you can apply a trick you can do on normal xorg.. the thing with cursor in the edge moving to the bigger virtual screen00:59
l7how's debian running on your n800?01:00
Stskeepsif that's possible with the newer omapfb driver01:00
johnxStskeeps, yeah, but I think all the "scrollable" area resides on the framebuffer, unless I'm confused01:00
johnx(very possibly confused)01:00
Stskeepsglibc.. "Testing <something>." "This might take a while01:00
l7i think i will give installing kde 4 a shot later01:00
Stskeepsno shit glibc01:01

l7hmm01:04
l7setting a blank password doesn't work on the n80001:04
l7it lets you set it, but you can't login01:04
*** chmac has joined #maemo01:04
l7though you can change your password again with passwd01:04
johnxwith openssh?01:04
l7yeah01:04
johnxthat's an openssh thing01:05
johnxdropbear lets you use a blank password01:05
johnxmaybe there's an option to enable it somewhere with openssh01:05
l7oh01:05
johnxI just use pubkey enc01:05
l7i guess it must be a security feature01:05
l7yeah, pubkey sounds like an easier way to go01:05
nemoand safer01:06
l7yeah, i was just testing to see what the OS would let me do01:06
*** krutt has quit IRC01:08
nemoif you're going to use a blank pass, you might as well just use ssh null encryption too :)01:08
nemosave cycles.01:08
l7heh01:08
l7is null encryption the same as sending plaintext?01:08
macouteit seems so? :)01:09
macoutenemo: blank password with pubkey is kinda secure, more secure than using password-authentication only01:09
nemomacoute: pubkey is entirely different01:10
nemomacoute: looked like he was trying to go no pass, no pubkey01:11

mgedminwhat's the full name?01:21
johnxwhen do cards get mounted in the boot process?01:21
*** chmac has quit IRC01:21
mgedmins??? software update?01:21
gregoroviusseamless01:21
l7which files will the SSU try to access that will cause problems with my symlinked /home/user/?01:21
l7maybe i can just symlink off ~/apps and ~/MyDocs01:22
qwerty12_N800johnx, ke-recv starts at S3001:22
gregorovius.MyDocs did cause trouble last update01:22
gregoroviusPDFs and a moby mp3 go in there01:23
l7oh01:23
gregoroviusbut the devs agreed that was a bug and should be sorted out by next ssu01:23
l7hrm01:23
l7hopefully it won't be a problem then01:23
gregoroviusyou can symlink everything, just remember not to update before reading some opinions01:24
l7hmm01:24
l7i guess i can always unsymlink and update if needed01:24
gregoroviusthat's my point01:24
l7do a lot of people symlink some or all of their home directory then?01:24
gregoroviusthe problem if you do that is that when some app is accessing ~, you can't unmount the memory card you symlinked it to01:25
gregoroviusI did it, but then having to reboot just to plug it in via usb was a bother01:26
l7hmm01:26
*** yerga has quit IRC01:26
gregoroviusat least that was my experience, not sure if it happens to everybody or if it's something in my configuration01:27
l7sounds like the less you symlink off, less likely you are to have problems01:27
*** yerga has joined #maemo01:27
l7symlinking home directory with all it's preferences seems like it invites more problems01:28
l7time to test it out a bit...01:28
gregorovius=)01:28
gregoroviusgotta run01:28
l7heh, later01:28
l7i have to say, the way nokia laid out the home directory with /apps and /MyDocs is much neater01:29
l7compared to how Ubuntu does it01:29
*** mfinkle_ has quit IRC01:29
l7no need to mix up all your media files with all the hidden preference directories01:29
*** chmac has joined #maemo01:31
l7hmm, does clearing out the n800's built in flash improve performance any?01:31
johnxonly if it's really close to full I would imagine01:31
johnxsay 95% or more01:31
l7oh01:32
l7is it used for swap as well?01:32
l7i was hoping to reduce wear on the internal flash if possible01:32
*** chmac has quit IRC01:32
johnxwell, in the case that an fs is >95% write performance can fall01:32
johnxbut no, it's not used for swap01:33
johnxyou can swap to an SD card if you want though01:33
l7yeah, i have my fastest SD card doing that :)01:33
l7just a cheap adata however01:34
GeneralAntilleshttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/23/arm-cortex-based-netbooks-said-to-be-coming-soon/01:39
GeneralAntillesThat I can go for.01:39
johnxI expect some really, really creative designs01:39
GeneralAntillesHow big are the batteries on most netbooks, anyway?01:39
*** qwerty12_N800 has quit IRC01:40
johnx4400mAh?01:40
johnxactually, I have no clue01:40
l7hmm, which netbook offers the most bang for the buck these days?01:40
l7the eeepc seems to have a dev community working on a version of ubuntu for it01:41
GeneralAntillesjohnx, seems to be 4400 at the low end01:41
GeneralAntillesGoogle says in the 4400-5800 range01:41
l7though the new msi wind looks like too and can run os x for fun01:41
johnxl7, I like the look of the hp mini01:41
l7johnx: what do you like about it?01:42
johnxthe keyboard01:42
l7hmm, yeah a good keyboard is crucial01:42
johnxI've had a chance to type on most and it has the nicest keyboard01:42
GeneralAntillesSo, what, something like 10-18 hour active battery life with an OMAP3440?01:42
l7how does it fare as far as running ubuntu or os x?01:42
johnxGeneralAntilles, or a new psion?01:42

*** uncorq has joined #maemo01:44
l7even when the mp 2001s were 300, i couldn't quite bring myself to get one01:44

GeneralAntillesHehe02:05
l7heh02:05
l7are there any good mapping apps that you could run on a netbook?02:05
johnxin linux or windows?02:05
johnxwindows probably has better commercial map software...02:06
l7linux preferably, but windows if comes to that :)02:06
johnxon linux: gpsdrive, maemo mapperu, navit and ... hmm...something else I don't remember come to mind02:06
l7hmm, that's not bad02:07
johnxthe problem being lack of offline routing02:07
l7couldn't you link the netbook to a bluetooth gps?02:08
johnxsure, but that doesn't get you routing02:08
*** Tuco has joined #maemo02:08
l7hrm, for driving?02:08
l7i was planning more on using it as a navigation tool while on foot02:09
*** uncorq has quit IRC02:09
johnxand so you just want to see a map?02:09
johnxmaemo mapper will work fine for that02:09
l7a map and directions02:09
johnxdirections = routing :)02:09
l7hrm02:09
johnxor do you mean compass directions?02:09
l7hrm, maybe the wimax eeepc could solve that problem02:10
johnxor some commercial windows software that has offline routing02:10
l7well for walking around the city, just being able to see where i am on the map and my destination point would be fine02:10
johnxyeah, same here02:10
johnx...or navit should do routing if openstreetmap has really good maps for your area02:11
l7hrm, what exactly do you mean by offline routing?02:11
johnxwithout an inet connection having the app give you turn-by-turn directions to get someplace02:11
GeneralAntillesThe N810W is supposedly shipping, but has anybody actually received a production unit?02:12
johnxGeneralAntilles, some guy on ITT, right? or is he Nokia?02:12
GeneralAntillesDunno02:13

*** benh has quit IRC02:13
GeneralAntillesI don't know if he has an actually production unit.02:13
l7hmm, does the app need to talk to a server that sends it turn by turn directions?02:13
johnxl7, not if it has a vector map that includes routing metadata02:14
l7i thought it could just figure out how to get to your destination based on your GPS coordinates and the map02:14
l7ah02:14
l7so it needs to understand how the streets are laid out02:14
johnxso maemo mapper just uses jpgs/pngs downloaded from google/yahoo maps which of course don't have any routing info embedded02:15
johnxthey're just pictures02:15
*** penguinbait has joined #maemo02:15
johnxand the maps that include routing info are largely non-free02:15

ShadowJK_Intel's argument that you need an intel processor for "the full web" is kinda flawed... There are websites that don't even work properly on Q6600, full web is impossible goal ;)04:01
*** TokyoDan has quit IRC04:01

GeneralAntillesYeah04:10
GeneralAntillesI'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

disco_stuthe browser is stupid when you load it, and it shows and hides hildon-input-keyboard05:16
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
GeneralAntillesThe 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
GeneralAntillesThe "Mozilla based browser for Maemo" or "tablet-browser" effectively makes up two parts05:17
GeneralAntillesFirst, MicroB the open source browser engine based on Firefox05:18
l7hmm, isn't there some sort of "open new windows in background" option for microb?05:18
GeneralAntillesand, second, tablet-browser-ui, the closed-source UI.05:18

GeneralAntillesHa, Boingo support finally gets back to me the day after I talk to one of the managers.05:21

GeneralAntillesl7, you open more than a few windows and you're getting close to OOM.05:22
l7too bad we can't just pop in some sodimms :)05:22
GeneralAntillesWhich means something has to give, and that means closing windows05:22
GeneralAntilleswhich is just not very nice.05:23
l7hrm05:23
GeneralAntillesSo anything that encourages opening more windows is probably not desirable.05:23
l7it is nice to let one window load in the background while you keep reading the main article though05:23
GeneralAntillesRock and a hard place sort of deal.05:23
l7i mean that's like 2, maybe 3 browser windows at most05:23
GeneralAntillesYeah, but you know people wont use it that way05:24
l7it's just about the convenience of being able to keep reading the current page without being interupted05:24
GeneralAntillesand what do they say when Flash or JavaScript stops working for seemingly no reason? Or a window closes?05:24
l7well.... they can suffer the consequences :)05:24

TokyoDanThe 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
TokyoDanPluthon = develop Maemo apps on PC, run and test on actual Maemo device.05:43
TokyoDanESBox = develop, run & test Maemo apps in scratchbox environment on PC.05:43
TokyoDan-----05:43
TokyoDanWhat's not clear is what needs to be configured when using Pluthon for development:05:43
TokyoDan1. SSH: Configure for ability to establish a connection without need to enter a password.05:43
TokyoDan I did this.05:43
TokyoDan2. SSHFS:  Configure for ability to access Maemo device filesystem from a mount on the PC.05:43
TokyoDanThis may be necessary if using ESBox, but is it also necessary if using Pluthon instead of ESBox?05:43
TokyoDan3. SBRSH: Scratchbox Remote Shell.05:43
TokyoDanI 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

GeneralAntilleswhich the database method accounts for.07:35
GeneralAntillesBut, generally speaking, they're raster maps and not particularly small.07:36
zackerooso it could be less than what it says it will need to download07:37
GeneralAntillesUsually isn't07:37
GeneralAntillesEspecially for urban areas07:37
GeneralAntillesunless the area you're downloading is mostly water07:37
zackeroohow about the option to download "Along Route" ... how does that work?07:38
GeneralAntillesOnce you have a route, it downloads x number of tiles along it.07:39
GeneralAntillesGet a piece of graph paper, draw a squiggly line07:39
zackeroo"have a route" please explain07:39
GeneralAntillesIt downloads the tiles that line intersects07:39
GeneralAntillesA navigation route07:40
GeneralAntillesA GPX track07:40
GeneralAntillesDirections from point a to point b.07:40
GeneralAntillesIt's right at the top of the menu.07:40
zackerooI downloaded a route from gnuite .. does that count?07:40
*** TokyoDan has quit IRC07:40
GeneralAntillesA route is just a gpx track07:40
GeneralAntillesso it can be any gpx track07:40
GeneralAntillesShows up as a green line on the map by default.07:41
zackerooso I now have a route from Melbourne to Sydney ... and there is a green line on my map showing the route07:41
*** legind_ is now known as legind07:42
zackerooto download that route ... I should use the "Along Route" option ... right?07:42
GeneralAntillesTo download tiles along the route.07:42
zackeroobut ... what is the number there for ?07:42
zackerooits on number 8 at the moment07:43
GeneralAntillesThat's how many tiles wide around the route it should download. . . .07:43
zackeroois there a way to see the tile grid so I can know what that means?07:44
zackeroolike how far is 8 tiles?07:44
GeneralAntillesDepends on the zoom level.07:44
zackeroozoom levels 6,8 and 1007:45
zackeroofor instance07:45
zackerooI wish google maps showed the grid ... that would be helpful07:46
zackeroooh and by the way ... I never got flite to work .... so no voices ... :(07:47
zackeroois there a way to tell how large a tile is?07:47
*** rsalveti has quit IRC07:48

*** rsalveti has joined #maemo07:48
zackeroook... well I did 5 tiles ... at 6,8 and 10 zoom07:49
zackeroosays its going to download 185MB07:49
zackeroois there a way to stop that GPS notification popup?07:50

Khertan_n810that my problem08:25

bef0rdtehehe08:26
Khertan_n810at this price i prefer to create my own server08:27
bef0rdyea, well port redirection requires some kind of software to be installed08:28

bef0rdwhat do you need it for?08:29
*** Pyrhos has joined #maemo08:30

zackeroook well ... without voice this is still useless as a GPS device ... :(09:24
zackerooI 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
zackerooturns out I got "lots more" minus the GPS services ...09:26
GeneralAntilles"Map" gives you what you're after.09:27
zackerooor 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 either09:27
*** benh has quit IRC09:27
zackerooand 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
GeneralAntillesYou bought it for the wrong reasons09:28
GeneralAntillesIt's a handheld laptop than can also do some GPS work on the side.09:28
zackerooI bought it for reasons it was advertised09:28
GeneralAntillesYou did realize that GPS navigation wasn't included in the price of the device, though, right? :\09:29
zackeroowhen I came here and read up on it, and on maemo-mapper, people were full of praise about it ...09:29
zackeroothen 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
zackeroobut is it working for me? ... no! and that is what is frustrating ....09:31
GeneralAntillesMaemo Mapper has built-in help.09:31
GeneralAntillesIt's quite good.09:31
zackerooshow me the where I can read about how to setup flite ...09:32
zackerooor audio09:32
GeneralAntillesIt should just work.09:32
GeneralAntillesThere's probably something wrong with your particularly setup.09:33
GeneralAntillesYou could always try mailing maem-users.09:33
zackerooyeah ... and I am a basic user ... I have not fiddled with anything in-depth09:33
zackeroothis is where OS looses out ... its too complex for the basic user to figure out ...09:33
zackeroowe don't want to have to debug and all that09:34
GeneralAntillesEh09:34
zackeroo:)09:34
GeneralAntillesIt's simple enough if you use it for what it's intended for09:34
GeneralAntillesBut it's not a platform for the feint of heart if you want to expand beyond that.09:34
zackeroowell.. that is what I am doing   .... no?09:34
zackerooI am working onthe very basic level here ....09:34
zackeroolike you said "it should just work"09:35

RST38hwhat thing? maemo?09:36
zackerooor some of the apps built for it....09:36
zackeroois maemo-mapper and audio not basic?09:36
zackerooI think its basic ....09:36
zackerooand, again, where in the mapper help is there any info about getting Audio to work?09:37

X-FadeGAN800: 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-FadeGAN800: I'll find out if we can do that easily and after that will write up a proposal for moving forward.16:25
GeneralAntillesGraham flipped a shit last time that was suggested.16:25
X-FadeHehe, we talked with him at the summit.16:26
X-FadeI think Jaffa and I can talk with him if that is the case.16:27
GeneralAntillesHonestly, 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-FadeWell, the warning will come as soon as we have a list ;)16:27
GeneralAntillesOf course.16:27
JaffaIndeed, isn't it the App Mgr's job to ignore sections, rather than making the autobuilder move them?16:28
X-FadeSo we might want to get a preliminary list over the weekend.16:28
*** Sho_ has quit IRC16:28
JaffaThat 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) sections16:28
JaffaX-Fade: agreed16:28
X-FadeJaffa: But there is my main issue:16:29
X-FadeIf we are going for the subsections, do we want to create all subsections beforehand.16:29
JaffaAh. True.16:29
* GeneralAntilles hates categorization so much.16:30
X-FadeOr do we want to allow people to create _sub_sections themselves ;)16:30
JaffaThat's a more specific case of the problem I just thought of: changing the sections without redeploying16:30
GeneralAntillesI was looking for inspiration on the types of sections that might be useful16:30
GeneralAntillesit's interesting to see the sorts of systems other people use16:31
GeneralAntilleshttp://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/16:31
JaffaI'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 use16:31
johnxsuihkulokki, ok, that site is just crashing debian's midori...16:31
X-Fadeabout omap3 and better camera: user/imaging ? :)16:31
GeneralAntillesor http://www.palmgear.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=software.category&PartnerREF=&siteid=116:31
GeneralAntillesMultimedia?16:31
JaffaVideo's multimedia; pics aren't.16:31
GeneralAntillesWhere would GIMP, or MyPaint go?16:33
*** Guest89880 is now known as kcome16:33
*** inz_ is now known as inz16:34
X-FadeIt might be a good thing to write a description for all categorie with what type of applications should be put there.16:34
* Jaffa finds Ubuntu's menu structure quite close to how I (manually) organise my Windows start menu:16:34
GeneralAntillesWhat about user/system?16:34
GeneralAntillesNokia uses it for osso-software-version16:34
GeneralAntillesWould something like a rotation-support metapackage go there or Support?16:35
JaffaAccessories, 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
johnxGeneralAntilles, I vote "System" for that16:35
*** GNUton has joined #maemo16:35
Jaffarotation-support is user/system - it's something the user installs once and never accesses as an application16:35
X-FadeJaffa: Support can be help documentation, language support etc?16:36
GNUtonhi16:36
Mekhttp://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/latest/apa.html has the list of categories for the freedesktop.org menu spec16:36
GeneralAntillesCurrently, OpenAFS, krb5, and libillumination0 are in user/support16:36
X-FadeMek: Interesting.16:37
JaffaX-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
JaffaMek: ta.16:38
JaffaYeah, I like those :)16:38
X-FadeJaffa: Rule one: Never _ever_ capitalize ;)16:38
*** guardian has quit IRC16:38
lopzhola16:38
JaffaX-Fade: If subsections are used to package together all the Canola crap, etc. how can we handle the *display* of the sub-section being possibly different to the key, then?16:39
*** Hrw|n810 has quit IRC16:40
X-FadeJaffa: Localization.16:40
X-FadeJaffa: So the 'technical english' term is used for the packager. And the AM shows it localized?16:40
JaffaYe-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
JaffaX-Fade: Or are you envisaging sub-sections for *not* grouping together the multi-package app stuff?16:41
X-FadeJaffa: Well, I'm not sure about that.16:42
X-FadeIt all depends on how we can transform the AM.16:42
X-FadeThis whole mess would be better if the AM displayed it better.16:42
GeneralAntillesI 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-FadeBut still.16:42
JaffaX-Fade: ah :)16:43
X-FadeGeneralAntilles: I have talked with mvo about that in the past.16:43
GeneralAntillesI'd like to see at least one of my improved views implemented16:43
X-FadeGeneralAntilles: He was willing to give some people access to the svn as long as they worked in a separate branch.16:43
GeneralAntillesBut I doubt he has time on that.16:43
GeneralAntilless/on/for/16:43
infobotGeneralAntilles meant: But I doubt he has time for that.16:43
X-FadeGeneralAntilles: Correct, he doesn't have the time. But does want to patch if a patch is ready.16:44
GeneralAntillesX-Fade, I've yet to get anybody to step up for that so far. :\16:44
JaffaPatches should work, as long as a) they get accepted; b) they don't duplicate work he's already doing16:44
Jaffalardman and I started discussing having time for it.16:44

JaffaLast weekend's room rearrangement took about 1.5 days longer than the 1 day I allocated, though16:44
JaffaGeneralAntilles: indeed.16:44
JaffaThe existing UI's hardly a compelling finger experience (mmm, just make the buttons bigger)16:45
JaffaI like the old idea of a tag cloud16:45
GeneralAntillesWish the list rendering were optimized16:45
JaffaIf you've just got a device and are going to install something to play with it, what category has the most breadth16:45
X-FadeJaffa: And add a thumb scroll bar ;)16:46
JaffaGeneralAntilles: s/optimized/in any way sensible/16:46
GeneralAntillesI still don't get why it needs to regenerate the whole damn list.16:46
JaffaX-Fade: :)16:46
MangoFusionwhy even have categories anyway16:46
X-FadeJaffa: Well you laugh, but things like that would help a lot ;)16:46
MangoFusionusually if i want to install something, i already know what it is called16:46
JaffaGeneralAntilles: 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
JaffaMangoFusion: Effectively - at the moment - we don't.16:46
GeneralAntillesPersonally, I like browsing.16:47
JaffaMangoFusion: 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
GeneralAntillesBut the "All" list is starting to get a bit big for that.16:47
MangoFusioni guess16:47
MangoFusionin any case16:47
MangoFusionwould be nice if i could quickly see the description of an app16:47
GeneralAntillesI want some "New packages" and "Popular packages" buttons hooked into Downloads.16:48
MangoFusionmost of the time it just lists an ambiguous name (if it does fit on the screen)16:48
X-FadeMangoFusion: True, but you won't be able to do that with 'ALL' in a list of 500 entries or more ;)16:48
MangoFusionbah, i'll just let you guy's sort it out ;)16:49
GeneralAntillesSo many ideas, too few people with the time and skills to implement them.16:50
JaffaOr inclination without, as you say, knowing what Nokia's plans are (there must be some)16:51
X-FadeGeneralAntilles: I have the solution!16:51
X-FadeGeneralAntilles: Make AM a Maemo 5 champion!16:51
JaffaGenerally, software (including Maemo) improves over time. Why bother hurting ourselves now when Nokia might do it "for us" over then ext 9 moonths16:51
GeneralAntillesHa16:51
JaffaActually, that's not a bad idea16:51
X-FadeThe killer app we want Nokia to support!16:51
