StskeepsRST38h: yeah, and a pregnant woman lost her baby as well00:00
qwerty12_N800Greedy motherfuckers.00:00
Stskeepseconomic crisis, eh :P00:01
aquatixwell, pumping some money around only helps00:02
aquatixbut consumers are weird00:03
RST38hDarwin at work. He never sleeps.00:03
RST38hFor the first time, Planned Parenthood in Indiana is offering gift certificates. The organization said a big increase in calls and visits from newly unemployed and uninsured Hoosiers prompted what it calls the unusual, yet practical gift option.00:03
doc|homeaquatix: only helps as long as they can afford it. Credit cards don't count.00:05
RST38hSts: Here go the babies00:05
qwerty12_N800For those who really can't afford tablet getting shut off by mce so soon : dbus-send --system --type=signal /com/nokia/bme/signal com.nokia.bme.signal.battery_full :P00:06

Stskeepsqwerty12_N800: i've had deblet run my tablet down to a vegetative state00:06
RST38hqwerty: How much extra time does it give? =)00:06
Stskeepshad to pull battery after it died00:06
qwerty12_N800RST38h, no idea :P. but useful if you need to finish quickly typing something..,00:07
qwerty12_N800Stskeeps, heh00:07
RST38hSpeaking of dbus...Is there a list of system dbus messages somewhere?00:08
RST38hI mean, messages accepted by all the standard firmware stuff00:08
aquatixdoc|home: myeah, the US economy is weird as everything is on a loan (see credit cards instead of debit cards)00:10
doc|homeaquatix: so is its currency, it all has to get paid back at some stage00:10
RST38hThat is not economy, that is stupidity00:10
doc|homeyup00:10
doc|homethat's what happens when you have a federal reserve that cuts interest rates to nothing and a government which gives out money to stimulate the economy00:11
* RST38h wonders whether this will eventually end up with indentured servitude00:11
doc|homeRST38h: what do you think the national debt is?00:11
doc|homesorry, that sounded confrontational, it wasn't meant to00:12
RST38hI actually mean literal indentured servitude00:12

RST38hWhere debtor's life eventually becomes the property of his lender00:13
doc|homearen't people already in that position with taxes and the government?00:13
*** kaatis has quit IRC00:13
RST38hNo00:13
doc|homeyou have the choice of not paying taxes?00:13
RST38hYou pay taxes for the right to live in a country to which you pay taxes00:14
RST38hDon't like it? Move somewhere else00:14
doc|homenot really, even if you decide to sell all your assets to leave the US you're forced to pay an even bigger cut to the government00:14
doc|homeand where else is there that doesn't have taxes?00:14
RST38hWell, that is your task to find00:15
Stskeepsanarctica? :P00:15
Stskeepsthe moon? :P00:15
doc|homesure, just like finding a master who won't whip me00:15
RST38hAs to leaving US, I am aquainted with the law and if you get rid of US citizenship you do not need to pay US taxes00:15
RST38hIf you live outside US but retain citizenship, you only need to pay taxes on anything above $80k00:16
doc|homethere's a law, or at least a plan for a law, to force you to pay X years taxes if you give up citizen ship00:16
RST38hSts: Somali will probably do the job00:16
RST38hdoc: When it becomes a law, let me know00:16
* doc|home not sure why he put a space in there00:16

*** florian has quit IRC01:36
*** thulio has joined #maemo01:36

*** samr7 has joined #maemo01:40
samr7hello all01:40
AStormhi01:40
samr7hi astorm01:40
*** jeez_ has quit IRC01:40
samr7I'm developing an audio application01:41
AStormhmm, with my ondemand settings on, fennec is much more snappy01:41
samr7and am looking for some explanations of how sound works on Maemo01:41
* AStorm loves its clickzoom01:41
samr7ex: does Skype have good quality audio?01:42
AStormwell, it's mostly esound on top of alsa01:42
AStormgood enough01:42
samr7it's full duplex?01:42
AStormalthough it uses a subpar codec01:42
AStormuhm... there would be no point in half duplex01:42
samr7lol, good01:42
samr7does it provide good sound latency?01:42
AStormi's skype 1.401:43
samr7what backend does it use, ESD?01:43
AStormyes01:43
AStormno idea01:43
AStormprobably esd01:43
AStormcan't use alsa directly while esound is active01:43
AStormmight be using gstreamer though01:43
samr7ah..01:43
AStormbut I don't think so01:43
samr7everybody is telling me that ALSA is not the way to go, because of how the DSP driver is implemented01:44
samr7and that ESD works a lot better01:44
AStormwell, esd has a dsp resampler01:44
AStormwhich is faster than alsa's01:45
AStormand approx. same quality01:45
AStormwhat I find intriguing is how they hacked esd to provide reasonable latency01:46
AStormit's not meant for that01:46
samr7hmmm01:47
* samr7 looks up the maemo ESD source code01:47
*** L0cutus has quit IRC01:47
samr7ESD certainly blows chunks using ALSA01:48
AStormyes01:49
samr7can't even get it to stream full-duplex without skipping01:49
derfAStorm: Do you know what the latency of the gstreamer interface is?01:49
AStormno idea01:49
AStormtest it01:49
AStormnot bad though apparently01:49
derfTest it with what.01:49
AStormderf, uhm, try full loopback?01:50
AStormand measure time difference01:50
AStormor try small buffers01:50
derfThat sounds like work :)01:50
AStormand seee when it starts to skip01:50
AStormsamr7, this maemo ALSA interface it a bit weird01:51
AStormit looks like 3 sound cards01:51
samr7?01:51
samr7to which application?01:51
AStorm...01:52
AStormto everything01:52
AStormsee /dev/sound01:52
samr7what does 'aplay -l' think?01:53
samr7alsa-lib is very inconsistent about how it presents devices and plugin configurations, and they need to clean it up01:53
* samr7 doesn't actually have access to an N8x001:54
AStormok, I'll check01:54
AStormno aplay01:55
AStormwell, I'll see if there are alsa-utils in repo01:55
AStormnope01:55
samr7hmmm01:56
AStormlet me send you /proc/asound/cards01:56
samr7it's got one of those??01:56
AStormhmm01:56
AStormyes01:56
samr7which platform are you using?01:56
*** vivijim has quit IRC01:56
AStormn81001:56
AStormdiablo01:57
AStormit's 2.6.21-omap01:57
AStormthere's but one device01:57
AStorm 0 [EAC            ]: EAC - OMAP24xx EAC01:57
AStormwhich is full-duplex I guess01:57
samr7interesting!01:58
samr7is that a dummy device maybe?01:58
samr7what's in /dev/snd/ ?01:58
samr7I thought ALSA support was implemented using an alsa-lib plugin that connected to their private, non-ALSA kernel DSP interface01:59
AStormnothing except controlC001:59
samr7ah, so it's a mixer plugin only01:59
AStormso it bypasses alsa and writes through dsp itself01:59
AStormsneaky bastards01:59
samr7that's right, no ALSA kernel driver for PCM.02:00
AStormthere is an alsa driver, fully fledged02:00
samr7there is?02:00
AStormnot enabled, not that there isn't one02:00
AStormyes02:00
AStormI built it with my 2.6.24-omap02:00
samr7how well does it work?02:00
AStormwell enough02:01
AStorms/does/did/02:01
AStormit might have been improved02:01
AStorme.g. after mangling gconf, alsa worked02:02
AStormgstreamer through alsa that is02:03
AStorm(and obviously killing esd)02:05
*** zap has quit IRC02:06
AStormI will build a newer linux-omap and the free wifi driver02:07
AStormbut that's after I'm done with this other stuff, like handwriting recognition02:07
samr7hm, keeping busy there AStorm02:10
samr7I'm still curious to know precisely what sound interface Skype uses02:10
*** chelli has quit IRC02:10
AStormesd via esddsp is my bet02:11
AStormor esd directly02:12
AStormno idea if skype 1.4 had that02:12
AStormwe need 2.x... it's so much better02:13

Chanii was told a while ago that my n810 shipped with a bad partition table on the 2gig flash, but i was too busy to fix it09:05
Chaninow i have time... what's the easiest way? is there a cfdisk package?09:06
johnxI believe the format option in the filemanager will fix it09:06
johnxor if you have a linux desktop you could use gparted09:06
johnxI think cfdisk is available, but you'd need to reformat the partition afterwards or you'd just have different problems09:07
Chanihmm, i never thought of doing it over the usb cable09:07
johnxyeah, that would be fine09:07
qwerty12Yeah, I uploaded cfdisk to extras-devel but if you can do it over a usb cable, it's even easier09:08
Chanibut the filemanager formatter was fastest :) yay, writable again... umm... unless that only reformatted and left the partition table damaged still09:10
johnxI was pretty sure that actually fixed it09:10
Chaniwell, i'll copyy back my data and see what happens09:10
qwerty12You should be alright, I think fanoush said that his card with multiple partitions got deleted and he was back only with one partition :P09:11
qwerty12after using file manager's formatter09:11

Stskeepsi'm still trying to reach critical mass where people start contributing12:00
lcukthen recovery left me with no energy12:00
Stskeepsbut the momentum is there atm12:00
lcukyou have changed the packaging thing havent you12:01
lcukto the bzr thing?12:01
Stskeepswell, it's just where i'm storing my branches right now12:01
Stskeepsit's a distributed source control system12:01
Stskeepsanyone can take my branches and merge new changes from upstream maemo, or i can merge from their branches12:02
Stskeeps(.. except for some tainted branches)12:02
Stskeepsgit has no "easy" contribution so12:03
lcukok, so lets say i have a game in ubuntu, that will be a .deb and .tar.gz wont it?12:03
Stskeepswell, most people publish their source in some kind of SVN/CVS/etc. then to package this, a packager could branch their svn, add on packaging information, and then publish this branch12:04
Stskeepsthen when a new release comes on, the packager can pull new patches from the original source12:05
Stskeepsif someone want to contribute to this package/source, they can branch the package and publish their changes12:05
Stskeepsand the initial packager can merge in their changes12:05
Stskeeps(accepting patch)12:05
lcukok, so bzr is an alternative to git and svn12:06
Stskeepsyeah12:06
Stskeepssvn isn't distributed though, it's centrally stored12:06
Stskeepsgit is like bzr12:06
Stskeepsbzr can branch off git and svn12:06
lcukwhich communities use bsr and know how it works etc12:07
slonopotamuslots of projects on launchpad, i guess12:08
slonopotamususe bzr12:08
Stskeepslaunchpad is a stronghold in ubuntu world (bzr), git seems to have a stronghold in maemo upstream12:08
Stskeepsbut bzr+launchpad makes it easier for community to join in i guess12:09
lcukim just thinking where we should be looking for outside people to get involved12:10
Stskeepsah12:10
Stskeepswell i do think there's quite a lot of inkept force in the maemo community12:11
lcukif they are already happy with bzr and its simple for them to push their code in12:11
lcukthere is, but theres not been much noise about bzr ever in chan12:11

slonopotamus1. very old kernel13:20

slonopotamusthere are no ready eabi stages13:21

slonopotamusi'm not brave enough yet to compile custom kernel for tablet :)13:23
*** t_s_o has quit IRC13:23
Stskeepsit's pretty simple :P reflashing is always possible13:23
qwerty12slonopotamus, you are replacing the os and you're telling me that you can't recompile the kernel?! :P :)13:24
slonopotamusi can, i do that often on desktop :)13:24
*** t_s_o has joined #maemo13:25
slonopotamusanyway, i have 2 ways and two roadblocks.13:25
qwerty12Hehe, I don't doubt that you can; it just strikes me as odd because you don't even have to flash a kernel if you wish, the N8x0 has the ability to boot a kernel without flashing13:25
slonopotamusoabi stage is very slow, btw13:26
slonopotamusi guess it was built with softfp13:27
slonopotamusand if i say very slow, it really means VERY slow13:28
slonopotamuscross-compiled stuff is fast, btw13:28
suihkulokkislonopotamus: slow doing what?13:28
slonopotamusdoing everything13:28
slonopotamus;)13:28
suihkulokkiwell everything doesn't use FP :)13:29
suihkulokkisince you are talking about stages13:29
*** JussiP has quit IRC13:29
suihkulokkiI presume you see slow compiling13:29
slonopotamusmaybe because it was built without any cpu-specific optimizations, for generic arm13:29
lcukwhat system are you sat inside on the device whilst doing the compilation13:30
lcukie: default maemo or some raw root build system?13:30
slonopotamusitos13:30
slonopotamusanyway13:31
suihkulokkislonopotamus: I think you are just low on RAM (and RAM bandwidth)13:31
lcukin that case, compilation using default "ondemand" setting is about 5x slower than in performance13:31
slonopotamushmm13:31
slonopotamuslcuk, will look at it13:31
lcuki notice it - liqbase takes over 10 minutes to build in ondemand and about 3 minutes in performance13:31
AStormbecause up_threshold is too high13:31
lcuki never counted the ondemand one - i just kick myself whenever i notice13:31
AStormfixable with one write to sysfs13:32
suihkulokkiAStorm: is there a bug about that ?13:32
AStormNokia should do that :)13:32
lcukmost users dont compile13:32
lcukits not worth a bug13:32
AStormsuihkulokki, not yet13:32
AStormnah, it is13:32
slonopotamusi have many ways to go. take python from itos and symlink it to /usr/bin/python, for example13:32
AStormit helps performance all around13:32
lcukyeah astorm i know that13:32
lcuki stressed lots during this year13:32
slonopotamusor build python inside my chroot by hand13:33
AStormwith neglible cost in power usage :)13:33
suihkulokkiit would be interesting to see if/how it affects battery life13:33
slonopotamusi.e. without portage13:33
lcukAStorm, uh huh, i live in performance now13:33
AStorm(if powersave_bias is on)13:33

AStorm:D13:34
slonopotamushm13:34
slonopotamusyou too?13:34
lcuki dont notice that astorm, but then again - a bad leaky process somewhere would leak faster in performance than in ondemand13:34
AStormhm13:34
AStormslonopotamus, I have that on agenda13:34
lcuksorry, not leaky - i meant busy13:34

AStormwhy should you? initfs is actually superfluous13:46
slonopotamusthat will be enough13:46
AStormyes, bootmenu is a nice hack13:46
slonopotamusit will just call linuxrc on gentoo partition13:47
AStormesp. important is that screen updater and text output13:47
AStormbut then, if you build a custom kernel, you can change the default for auto screen updates13:47
Stskeeps.. and remember to let X switch it back so you do manual updates, or performance is horrid :P13:48
slonopotamusauto screen updates - ?13:48
slonopotamusah13:48

johnxuhm no?16:31
johnxthe menubar is part of the app16:32
Stskeepsslonopotamus: a menu isn't a window decoration though16:32
lcuktechnically, the app should define the palette of options along with priorities, an ideal interface would then display that palette as required16:32
slonopotamusi'm not very good with gtk but i didn't find any reasons why hildon must be so intrusive16:34
qwerty12_N800Look at the screen space we have available. An hildonized menu takes up less space than a standard gtkmenubar on the tablets.16:35

Stskeeps:P16:38
Stskeepsyes it is16:38
Jaffaslonopotamus: there's no good technical reason why Hildon is so intrusive. Nokia didn't want to maintain a fork, so the behaviour of existing widgets is largely unchanged, and you have to use different widgets to get the behaviour that a device owner expects.16:38

konttori_the ogg-support package is missing from repos16:43
kulvekonttori_: it's on my repo, not in the extras(-devel)16:44
Jaffaslonopotamus: agreed entirely. Qt & SWT toolkits for Maemo go the other way, and at the Summit Nokia were talking about making the default controls more finger friendly.16:44
kulvekonttori_: the single click install is available in the maemo.org/downloads16:44
konttori_ok. thanks. I just cannot then add the dependency to ukmp.16:45
slonopotamusJaffa, good. it definitely should be easier to tweak 1 lib then each app based on that lib16:45

konttori_would this work: gstreamer0.10-plugins-ivorbis16:45
konttori_That is in extras devel16:46

derfI was talking more along the lines of under 6 hours of use a week.18:57
derfBut for me the battery is dead within 2 days.18:57
dragorns2disk basically operates like swap, so correct, it will dump the cache (or just not write it, since the pages are flagged to not be swapped out.  swapping cache is pointless.)18:57
slonopotamusyou still need to power ram. you still need to power input devices so you'll know when too wake up18:57

slonopotamusheh19:07
Stskeepsdragorn: nokia's opening up how they can.. that people start seeing it's similar to p54 probably helps19:07
slonopotamusext3 on sd ddeletes files much faster than ext3 on hd19:07
dragornStskeeps: except it has a proprietary calibration system19:07
dragornStskeeps: so "being like" a p54 doesn't help much at all19:07
dragornStskeeps: yes, nokia is working on some kernel drivers (which I think still plan to have a binary userspace to calibrate), which is an improvement19:08

lcukok serious question, i have a completely dynamic variable sized font face.  i have an arbritary display area allocated to render a string, should i simply always render the font as large as possible within the dimensions available?  (the alternative to to also record the displayed size and a load of other dpi related stuff)21:42

* GAN800 spazzes as microb tops itself while I'm typing.21:47
Stskeepsi've been trawling commits out of boredom21:47
GAN8003 times!21:48
Stskeepsi would kill for a microb replacement, like, using webkit or something21:48
StskeepsUI is fine and integrated, but engine..21:48
GAN800Now I can stop calling it the N900 anyway21:48
Pavlovlol21:48

Stskeepsso it goes ppa -> extras-devel -> extras21:55
