lbtI like the double click on the stars :)00:04
lcukdouble click?00:05
lcuklbt, jott keeps mentioning lqios00:06
lbtI thought double click brought up the butty00:06
lbtbutty it doesn't00:06
lcukits starting to wear in :)00:06
lbt<groan>00:06
lcukheh, bacon only runs on the 2nd invocation of stars per session00:06
lcukso close and rerun00:06
*** closet_ has joined #maemo00:06
lbtdouble click on the next release :)00:06
lbtIt would make a superb launcher too00:07
lcukbut we are using a stylus00:07
lcukyes, quite a few people have remarked on that00:07
lbtdouble tap - one for each slice00:07
lcukthe only problem so far is closing and reopening after app is finished00:07
lcukill have to look00:07
lcukheh, its only bacon00:07
lcukyou dont have bread :P00:07
lbt's OK I like it crunchy00:07
lcuki will have a look at just closing the XV window and minimizing the x11 window00:07
lcukincase the user wants to run mplayer or something :)00:08
lcuksome days i curse having to hack it all like this00:08
lcukbut other days i scratch at my screen in wonderment at how well it operates ;)00:09
*** kenne has quit IRC00:09
lbtwould a window of images scroll as smoothly as a window of text?00:09
lcukscratching at my screen - thats the description i couldnt find the word for in my presenetation00:09
lcukgo into options00:09
lcukblit test00:09
lcukthen press +- hardware buttons00:10
lcukit does normal blits of images00:10
lcukand after you scaled it stretchblits00:10
lcukso yes00:10
lbtand did you get the variable scaling working at all?00:11
* lcuk missed a trick there - i should have scaled once, stored the result then just used the faster standard blit00:11
lcukwhat do you mean variable?  as in stretchblit?00:11
lbtthe cheap 'lens' effect00:11
lcukheh not yet :)00:11
lcukbut i have ideas and it will come00:11
lbtyes - but variable across the screen?00:11
lbtyes?00:11

*** etrunko has quit IRC00:12
lcukare you running it now on your nokia?00:13
*** rsalveti has joined #maemo00:13
lbty00:13
lcuki just realised, the default installed version starts at 640*480 - all images are using stretchblit to begin with at that resolution00:13
lcukits actually faster at scrolling the images at 800*48000:13
lbtas it happens I went to 800x48000:14
*** pdz- has quit IRC00:14

lbtapt-get source liqbase doesn't work...00:19
lcukoooer, i sent the source to them as part fo the extras thing, and its live in the garage00:19
qwerty12_N80Olcuk, did you promote the source too?00:20
lcukand im sure its buildable from that source because I commit from the tablet, clean down vmware and update to latest and build package there00:20
lcukprobably not :$00:20
lbtI'd have thought it would have gone there as part of the autobuilder...00:21
*** pdz-_ has joined #maemo00:21
* lcuk didnt know i had to - i thought users might get it listed00:21
*** blade_runner has quit IRC00:21
lcuklbt, qwerty is right00:21
lcukit is all in extras-devel but i dont tihnk i promoted the source00:21
lbtno probs :)00:22
* lcuk is doing it now :)00:22
lcukalright ive added them00:23
lcukill know in future, thanks for the heads up again qwerty00:23
*** flo_lap has joined #maemo00:24
lbtOK - gotta go - hopefully I'll be back a little more often in the future :)00:24

fish_the audio output of the nokia 770 should be switched from speaker to headphones if i plug them in, right? by hardware i guess? something is wrong here, i have no audio on my headphones.. :/01:12
lardmansoftware switch actually01:13
lardmanthough it should happen automatically01:14
lardmanshould be a sysfs entry to can write to to change that iirc01:14
*** jeez_ has quit IRC01:15
*** fiekia has quit IRC01:15
fish_lardman: ah thanks, thats a good hint01:15
fish_i have /sys/devices/platform/gpio-switch/speaker/connection_switch which always stats 'disconnected'01:17
lardman /sys/devices/platform/ gpio-switch/headphone/state01:17
lardmanminus the space in the middle of course01:17
*** Tuco has joined #maemo01:17
fish_lardman: nope, i dont have that file but switching the output via echo connected > /sys/devices/platform/gpio-switch/speaker/connection_switch works01:20
fish_maybe i have no state file and the auto-switching doesn't work because i'm runnung the OS07 hacker edition01:21

lardmanwhat am I, an Oracle? ;)01:36
lardmanhellwolf: there's an ogg support package in extras, install that01:36
lardmanhellwolf: not sure about flac, but there is a flac decoder dsp task in Garage01:36
hellwolflardman, I saw a lot of ogg related things, but I don't know which one to install01:37

lardmanbearing 014 degrees, 4 metres01:49
lcuk:D ahhh cool - i wonder how it got into nextdoor's bedroom though01:49
lardmanlol01:49
lardmanyou don't place them in glass jars to stop them melting through floors/walls?01:50

*** housetier has quit IRC01:51
lcuki think for the first time in months i am relaxed01:51
lardmanqwerty12_N80O: you about London boy?01:52
lardmanI've got lots on this week, annoyingly it's taking longer than I hoped01:52
lcukday work or another one of your little projects?01:53
lardmanyeah day job, far too many little projects to do in my spare time too!01:53
lcukyeah know that feeling, our main client just came back and asked for something that was ruled out on day 101:54
lcukluckily i expected it and coded accordingly01:54
lardmanpre-emptive coding01:55
lcukmore a case of coding generally and not tying myself to one specific path too early - the changes essentially involve me reading a diff listing and applying the changes01:56
*** gregorovius_ is now known as gregorovius01:56
lcukim in 2 minds about the icons in liqbase01:56
*** flo_lap has quit IRC01:58
lcukhttp://liqbase.net/liq.20081028_235446.gary.scr.png   i added the method to put them in, but now they are there is less usable01:58
lardmanno idea from me I'm afraid01:58
*** febb has quit IRC01:59
*** febb has joined #maemo01:59
lcuknp, just thinkin out loud really :P01:59
lcuklardman, this one will though: http://liqbase.net/liq.20081026_204523.gary.cam.png02:01
lcuki want a proper library :P02:01
lardmanbarcode scanning :)02:02
lardmanyou want a barcode scanning library?02:03
lcukcould do with a proper on02:03
lcuke02:03
lardmanyes, I think that would be worth doing02:03
*** eton has quit IRC02:03
lcukyeah, at present all i am doing is recognising that ive got white bars and all greyscale in between02:04
lcukand then stretch blitting that block of pixels into a strip of 85 chars02:04
lcukand doing some simplistic filtering to try and get things02:05
*** dougt_ has joined #maemo02:05
lcuki have no idea if the codes are valid or anything02:05
lcukhence library time - its not my forte02:05
lardmanI'm planning on doing some more work on maemo-barcode asap02:05
lardmanI see no reason not to produce some sort of backend library that other apps can use too02:06
lcukyeah, well this is sitting waiting - ive made a barcode icon in liqbase camera, tap it and it engages any barcode02:06
lardmancool02:06
lardmanand the dsp-jpeg stuff02:06
lardmanyou're filling up my free time far too quickly!02:06
lcukheh seriously no rush on dsp, that is just wishlisty02:07
lcukbut i can see practical things for the barcode, as you have said yourself02:07
lardmanyou know the barcode stuff is pretty well contained in one file?02:07
lardmanfor 1D barcodes that is02:08
lcuki never jumped in that far, and i know nothing about libraries02:08
lcukyeah - how would we handle rotated barcodes02:08
lardmandepends how far it's been rotated02:08
lcuki mean proper full 360deg support02:09
lardmanfor 1D barcodes, they can rotate quite a long way and still be readable02:09
lardmanhmm, not somehting I'm too interested in tbh02:09
lcuki was toying with the idea of using it not as a barcode, but as a joystick02:09
lcukrecognise the cube and get its orientation and scale from that02:09
lardmanThat's another interesting idea, quick image correlation,e tc.,02:09
lcukand then position things02:09
*** rsalveti has quit IRC02:09
*** rsalveti has joined #maemo02:09
*** efleury has quit IRC02:09
lcukand btw, look at that image - thats taken at 320*240 - from your professional eye, is there enough resolution to grab a valid code from it02:10
lcukeven if we have to move slightly closer02:10
GeneralAntilleslardman, well, there are lots of mirrors.02:10
GeneralAntillesThe Akamai network, for instance. :P02:10
lcukmornin GeneralAntilles02:10
lardmanprobably want it a bit closer02:10
lardmanGeneralAntilles: of the repos?02:11
lcukahhh then i lose focus02:11
lardmanmore light02:11
lcukok, ill work something out - i might grab the checksum side of the code and see if i can identify valid blocks02:11
lcukyes! the semi flash idea - ill ensure a white block remains in the corner02:11
lcukdoh!   that explains why i couldnt scan a small section of any barcode  - the red LED was shining back and tinting the barcode - it scans for greyscale specificall02:12

GeneralAntillesNo?02:16
lcukdo you want to (tongue in cheek of course) want to tell him to simply rotate his nokia02:16
lcukyou have such a way with words that i cannot manage02:16
lcukyou answer so quickly lol02:17
GeneralAntillesWhere?02:18
* GeneralAntilles just got home and hasn't caught up.02:18
lcukerrr -dev i think02:18
GeneralAntillesOh, -users02:18
GeneralAntillesI wasn't paying much attention02:18
lcukheh, i just saw you rip through people who i deliberated for ages to try and explain to02:18
GeneralAntillesAny thread Mark is involved in I try to avoid responding in detail to.02:19
lcukany -user thread normally ends up skipping my inbox02:19
GeneralAntillesHehe, lcuk's shakily holding a 9mm at the guy and I sprint onscreen from the left with a sword and cut 'im in two? :P02:19
lcukit only remained (and I thought it was -dev) because he mentioned liqbase02:20
lcukyeah gen, thats it to a tee02:20
johnxGeneralAntilles, actually the benq is running moblin aka maemo IIRC02:21
GeneralAntillesjohnx?02:21
GeneralAntillesMoblin certainly isn't Maemo02:21
johnxGeneralAntilles, well it's certainly hildon02:21
GeneralAntillesDespite whatever allnameswereout may think, I lost my desire to coddle and spoon feed most people directly from working to help them in helpdesk like situations.02:21
GeneralAntillesWhich really doesn't make it Maemo02:22
GeneralAntillesbut what, in particular, are you responding to?02:22
johnxfair enough, I suppose02:22
GeneralAntillesI mean, ArchLinux aka Debian because both can run LXDE?02:22
*** Gracana has quit IRC02:23

johnxpretty good. and you?02:38
GeneralAntillesjohnx, well, I don't doubt there are a lot of people in Maemo Software pushing in that direction02:39
GeneralAntillesI don't think most of them want to talk about it in public, though.02:39
*** gregorovius has joined #maemo02:39
johnxGeneralAntilles, I *did* doubt that before I saw that response though02:39
pupnikthinking about work, economy etc.  hard to think about tablets atm.02:39
GeneralAntillesjohnx, that's too bad.02:39
johnxGeneralAntilles, I'm not very optimistic about companies handling Linux-based devices (example: zaurus)02:40
GeneralAntillesThe issue has always been more of a management one.02:40

*** AStorm has joined #maemo02:40
AStormhello02:40

AStormGeneralAntilles, it's not getting found!02:43
GeneralAntillesAStorm, are you missing one of either: Chinook Extras or Diablo Extras-devel?02:43
AStormGeneralAntilles, ahh, extral-devel02:43
AStormthat version is unusable02:43
AStormit has to die02:43
AStormI want a usable build, for diablo02:44
GeneralAntillesChinook Extras02:44
AStormwith less crashes and more speed than chinook one02:44

GeneralAntillesSomebody needs to stick a native interface on this: http://flickr.com/photos/qole2/2978324995/02:55
AStormnot so fast this drawing :P02:57
lcukwhich drawing? liqbase02:58
lcukgo into options and up the cpu...02:58
lcuk"performance" does exactly what it says02:58
*** christefano has quit IRC02:58
AStormmhm03:00
AStormnoted03:00
AStormcouldn't ondemand with toggle for performance preferrence work as well?03:01
AStorm(by default it prefers powersaving)03:01
AStormbtw, screen doesn't refresh on switch until some event happens03:02
*** rsalveti has quit IRC03:02
lcukon switch hmmm ahhh you mean when it blanks03:02
lcukyeah its noted as a bug03:02
lcukondemand DOES go upto full speed - but my drawing routine is too fast and keeps the cpu under 40% when in use03:03
lcukso the cpu clocks back down03:03
lcuki could work round it and stay in ondemand by simply drawing the screen multiple times per frame03:04
lcukbut thats wasteful03:04
lcukand performance is so much crisper in the rest of maemo as well ;)03:04
lcukGeneralAntilles, whats wrong with that screenshot you pasted?03:05
lcukits already in maemo03:05
AStormlcuk, what abt conservative?03:07
lcukpowersave is just slower03:07
AStormwith and w/o powersaving bias :)03:07
lcukits workable, but lower the resolution03:07
AStormconservative != powersave03:08
AStormconserv. iks slow ondemand03:08
AStorm*is03:08
lcukahhh, whats the diff - cos i noticed only 3 primary modes03:08
AStormswitches slower and step by step03:08
lcukthe 3 i put in were the main ones that had a definable difference03:08
lcukcool03:08
lcukits fairly simple to implement, i just didnt think i needed the others03:09
AStormconservative has a number of thresholds to tuune03:12
AStormseparate down/up, for instance03:12
lcukill have a readup about it AStorm03:14
AStormdefault 80/20 up/down03:14
lcukheh, liqbase will probably still fall under it03:14

l7having internet every with my tablet is a bit of an overstatement03:48
l7wifi coverage is rather hit or miss.  i wonder if pupnik has wimax03:49
l7also, i wish the browser was a bit faster... even turning off all extensions and javascript it still seems slow03:49
l7could be the wifi of course03:49
johnxwell it can only speed up from here :)03:49
lcukno, just sits near a hotspot03:49
l7heh03:50
l7maybe turning off images would help03:50
johnxthere's a lot of performance improvements in upstream firefox that need to get merged in03:50
l7which firefox? fenec or another build of microb?03:50
johnxmicrob is based on an old version of ff303:50
l7are there any other tweaks one can apply to speed up browsing on the tablets?03:51
johnxyou can play with cache size and number of simultaneous connections03:51
johnxthere are a couple posts about it on ITT03:51
johnxalso, try and limit how many windows you have open and apps running at the same time03:52
lcuki would like to see a ground up implementation of a browser03:52
johnxthat's kind of a lot of work I gather03:52
lcuk:) ive never been one to shy away03:52
lcukstart simple, work up from there03:52
johnxthe problem is a simple browser isn't really usable03:53
l7yeah, i shut everything down when trying to browse03:53
johnxat least in this era :)03:53
lcukdepends upon purpose - for html books its perfect03:53
l7i have to say the mytube client really rocks though03:53
l7it's fast and stable and doesn't freeze the machine while downloading stuff like gpodder or canola03:53
johnxbut that's not a browser, it's an ebook reader like fbreader03:53
lcukfor jazzy css encrusted multifaceted workhorse i agree03:54
l7i guess craigslist could be reasonably fast on the tablet03:54
lcukthe problem with the current browser isnt that its slow persay03:54
l7handy for posting missed connections i guess03:54
lcukits that it feels slow03:54
johnxlcuk, surf with dillo2 or links2 graphical mode for a bit and tell me how fun it is :)03:54
johnxwell, the other problem is that it's slow...03:55
l7the other thing is that when you're outside trying to browse a bit before the bus comes or something, you really want things to load quickly03:56

AStormwhere should I add my ondemand settings to set them on startup?08:09
GeneralAntillesIt's ondemand by default. . . .08:10
AStormbut with 80% up_threshold08:11
AStormnot 50% with powersave bias08:11
johnxhijack a random file under /etc/rc2.d or make your own08:11
AStormwhich means much less responsive and laggier08:11
AStormmhm...08:11
johnxsadly os2008 has no /etc/rc.local which would be the *right* place for a one-liner08:12
*** zommi has joined #maemo08:12

GeneralAntillesjohnx, bug?08:12
johnxGeneralAntilles, probably the result of a package they left out08:13
johnxI'll check in a sec08:13
AStormjohnx, two-liner :)08:13
GeneralAntillesEither way, have you filed a bug?08:13
johnxno, I have not, yet08:13
*** Kegetys has quit IRC08:14

johnxeverytime someone doesn't file a bug, you die a little inside?08:15
GeneralAntillesNah, it's below freezing outside and I refuse to turn on the heater.08:16
johnxholy craps. It's 68F here08:16
GeneralAntillesBut I will take away their right to complain until they do. :P08:16
johnxGeneralAntilles, I think it's the result of an architecture choice08:16
GeneralAntillesFair enough, but it would be nice to at least have some sort of explanation08:17
AStormhow do I add the script to the runlevel?08:17
AStormsome command, or old-school ln -s?08:18
johnxah, just do ln -s08:18
johnxthere's a maemo services control panel plugin though if you want to do it the fancy GUI way08:18
GeneralAntillesand since there seems to be more than a few people wanting to add scripts to the startup, and thanks to the brittleness of Maemo's boot procedure, it's probably better to not have them messing around where things can break easily.08:18
johnxrc.local is just as likely to break things08:19
johnxin fact it's probably better to have it be a little scary instead of really accessible :)08:19
qwerty12_N80OAStorm, The original ondemamd setting is set by initfs and kernel so you can remount one rw amd recompile the other :p08:19
qwerty12_N80Ohi everyone08:19
AStormyeah right08:19
AStormas if I have time for that08:19
johnxmoreover, I think not having initscripts (the package including rc.local) is the *right* architectural choice if it's not needed, which it appears not to be08:20
AStormmy Gentoo stint is scheduled for later08:20
johnxah, shove your changed in /mnt/initfs/linuxrc08:21

RST38hWho said there has to be a complete taxonomy?15:56
lbtplanning stuff: calendar15:56
lbtarranging stuff: comms (email, irc, voip, address book)15:57
Jaffalbt: That's fine. Then you need to suggest a whole new set of categories, because "me" doesn't fit in with ones structured around type of application; rather than relationship of application's use with user.15:57
RST38hWhy not use statistical division principle: as soon as there is >10% of apps in a category that can be split off into a new one, make a new category15:57
johnxRST38h, because that makes packaging a nightmare?15:57
wazdI think categories should be named by action they do15:57
RST38hjohnx: It doesn't: I do not suggest tocreate new categories on daily basis15:58

RST38hjohnx: Well, once a year General bugs people about changing categories or it is done automatically in Extras15:58
lbtso that allows the 'traditional' structure to exist alongside15:58

* lcuk thinks this is why freedesktop never got a strict definition ;)16:18
GeneralAntillesThe category delineations should be as clear-cut as possible.16:18

johnxthe key word in "stuff people have written" is "stuff"16:19

JaffaX-Fade: Indeed. This is why I'm yet to be convinced about "Personal & Social" not overlapping.16:19

GeneralAntillesWhat is the goal here? To add some life to the sterility of Office?16:21
Jaffalbt: This is a discussion in identifying the categorisation of packages in the Application Manager. There is a thought that these *may* also then lead into the top-level menu (so a user accesses the application at run time through the same category they found it in the App Manager); but that's a /different/ discussion.16:21

If it's just to differentiate some category of apps which a user wouldn't expect to find in one of the existing categories, that's a different thin.16:25

lbtJaffa: what is the consistent and orthogonal taxonomy being used?16:26
lbtthere isn't one.16:27
johnxJaffa, fine, what about gpe-contacts?16:27
lbtI am pointing out that the thinking one uses as a developer is not what you consider as a user16:28
lcuklbtlbt, communication16:28
lbtlcuk: yes, I agree.16:28
Jaffalcuk: there isn't a communication category in the current "new" category set16:29
lbtbut the current suggestion appears to be 'Office'16:29
Jaffajohnx: a good suggestion.16:29
Jaffalbt: No, that was for calendar.16:29
lbtOh16:29
JaffaSo, finally we get to a problematic application.16:29
lcukpersonally i would prefer a search box - i have a keyboard and the skills to type "contact"16:29
lbtI have an N80016:29
Jaffalcuk: App Manager's got one (although the UI sucks)16:29
lcukreally? i never found it heh16:30
lcukits THAT Bad16:30
Jaffajohnx: I suspect gpe-contact should go in user/utilities (i.e. under "Accessories")16:30
X-Fadelcuk: Look at the bar on the bottom ;)16:30
lbtwhat application is of no utility?16:30
johnxJaffa, and should calendars go under office?16:30
lcukheh X-Fade im used to filters at the top of lists not buttons that pop open new windows ;)16:30
lbtie they all go in 'utilities'16:31
Jaffajohnx: I think so.16:31
lcuki tried typing to move the list down as well which didnt work16:31
Jaffalbt: User sees "Accessories" then16:31
X-Fadelcuk: Well to quote Jaffa: "although the UI sucks" :)16:31
lbtsame arg16:31

JaffaContact app is the only one I've heard which compellingly doesn't fit into one of the other categories; but it's so "simple" from a user point of view, I can live with it in "user/utilities" - because a new category for "all contact apps" doesn't seem sensible ;-)16:58
lardmanmelmoth: too much gnome, not much content afaict16:58
Jaffamelmoth: the problem with learning something from an older book is that the concepts aren't the hard things, it's knowing what's available to you - and that changes every release: so newer == better.16:58

baddulardman: i try to communicate wit floats through ipbuf and normal messaging22:29
lardmanfloats?22:29
lardmanas in floating point?22:29
baddulardman: my source and destination values do not match then :P floats yeah, floating point variables22:30
lardman32bit types get their top and bottom 16bits switched around22:30
lardmanbest to write 16bit types22:30
lardmanand read them22:30
baddulardman: so is the dsp big endian and arm little endian?22:30
lardman0x12345678 -> 0x5678123422:31
*** alextreem has quit IRC22:31
lardmandsp is bigendian for the two 16bit chunks in a 32bit type, but the 16bit chunks are littleendian22:31
baddulardman: i suppose when the endiannes changes also words are 'shifted'22:31
lardmanyes, bytes are shifted22:31
baddulardman: ok22:31
lardmanand a byte is 16bits22:31
*** christefano_ is now known as christefano22:31
baddulardman: aaa, of course22:31
lardmanbut bytes are read/written the same on both platforms22:32
JaffaRight, time to watch the Heroes I downloaded today22:32
baddulardman: i agree that it's better to communicate with 16bit values, but i use floats in the dsp code (quite important in opengl)22:32
baddulardman: so probably i try with some byteswap thing first22:33
lardmanbaddu: fair enough, might be worth copying the data to local memory (32bit copies are faster than 16bit) and doing some byte swapping en route22:33
*** rwhitby` has joined #maemo22:33
lardmanThere's probably an ASM command to allow you to read them backwards if you look for it22:33

nemoGeneralAntilles: was a busy day at work but I made an (ugly) attempt.  I originally contemplated tokenising in pairs and cleverness, but the cleverness was getting longer than ugly regex - so I did ugly regex22:38
nemoGeneralAntilles: if you want to clean it up, feel free :)22:38
nemoGeneralAntilles: well, anyway, here ya go. http://m8y.org/bookmarklets.xhtml - I kind of wish bugzilla would do this itself.22:40

nemotokenising would have been easier if they'd kept their variable names consistent22:48
nemocould have just had a blacklist and a list of ['bugid','email1'] then match on each where var began with pattern.22:49
