b-manStslap, i'm experimenting with pure Ubuntu Jaunty and am applying some of the base packages from mer and i have one question; do i still need mer-rescue-menu installed in order for it to boot properly? - because in mer that's prity much the only way to boot into mer... at least for me :P00:29
Stslapb-man: no, but it certainly helps with console mode and stuff :P00:30
*** cars__ has quit IRC00:30

*** SpongeBob is now known as Gary01:16
JaffaFrom what I remember, yes. Can't remember if it's exposed in the UI, though.01:16
JaffaLooking through a disassembly suggests it should be possible, tho01:16
woglindejaffa you decompiled the java stuff?01:18
woglindehihi01:18
Jaffawoglinde: I put some of the Java stuff through jad, but mostly concentrated on an ARM disassembly of the C wrapper (for, err, interest's sake).01:19
JaffaLast few releases it's been easier to buy a 20 quid 3 year licence for the old 770 version than bother to work around any protection methods. Original version had a single word you could change to bypass stuff01:20
timelesshappy newyear people01:22

ReKlipz1is there anyway to mount the internal memory via the usb cable on my desktop?01:38
ReKlipz1this is the n810...01:38
bakarathmm, is there a slightly more advanced alarm clock then the default one?01:39
AStormyes01:39
AStormit is exported as usual01:39
AStormif not mounted01:39
ReKlipz1"as usual"?01:39
AStormso you have to unmount it01:39
AStormas usual usb storage01:39
AStorm:)01:39
bakaratthe default one only seems to allow for a "daily" setting (without specifying for instance different wake-up calls for different days or none for the weekend etc)01:39
ReKlipz1so, with power off, I just plug the device in?01:39
AStormno01:40
AStormwith power on and after umount /media/mmc201:40
AStormor maybe01:40
ReKlipz1well, i can't run umount, as hildon refuses to start01:40
AStormit just has to be unused01:40
*** kpel has joined #maemo01:40
AStormhehe01:40
kpelhi all01:40
AStormit has to be unmountable at least01:41
ReKlipz1how can i access the file system if hildon isn't running, and i cant ssh into the device (as I need hildon for this)?01:41
AStormuhm?01:42
AStormwhy would hildon hog immc?01:42
AStormit doesn't01:42
AStormdisable swap, obviously01:42
ReKlipz1ok, so, I start the device.01:42
AStorm(it's made on immc by default)01:42
ReKlipz1then it gets to the point where hildon would start, but it doesnt, it's just a white screen instead01:43
ReKlipz1so, then i plug in usb01:43
ReKlipz1my desktop mounts the external memory, as normal01:43
ReKlipz1but i need to access /01:43

AStormyou will have to use sftp01:44
AStormand/or sshfs01:44
AStormor maybe nfs01:44
ReKlipz1what if i cant start the ssh client though?01:44
ReKlipz1ie, i cant configure the device at all01:45
AStormhmmm01:45
ReKlipz1no interface to be able to01:45

sin18running ssh@localhost verifies that sshd daemon is running on tablet (n800/diablo) but when i attempt to use scp cmd from my linux box, the cmd just sits like a deadlock or something02:42
qwerty12_N800Can you ssh from your tablet to a different host?02:42
sin18qwerty12_N800 : same problem when i connect to my fedora (fc10) box from tablet; again ssh@localhost works on that box as well02:44

qwerty12_N800sin18, your router is teh suck, my old router did the same so I fixed openssh and recompiled it, but it seems my host (http:// qwerty12.maemobox.org/openssh_badrouter_fix/) is down :)02:45

qwerty12_N800sin18, no wait, it's up : http://qwerty12.maemobox.org/openssh_badrouter_fix/ :)02:48
qwerty12_N800if you can't get other stuff to work, install the debs from there. they worked when my old router hated ssh with tablet and would cause connections to hang forever after entering pw02:49

lcukjaffa, what do you think of this as a first attempt - im reading the default menus http://liqbase.net/liq.20090101_134910.gary.scr.png16:02
alteregolcuk: if you implemented it outside of liqbase, you could make a navigator plugin ..16:03
alteregoReplace the _actual_ application menu ..16:03
crashanddiealterego, who gives a fuck about that, seriously?16:05
johnxme16:05
lcuktheres some other things i need to put in, having quick access to certain tablet features will be essential, maybe you are right though16:05

lcuksorry, suckerpunching16:08
lcukyeah it will be good to replace the default one16:08
alteregoRight.16:08
johnxI kinda like the default layout except with drag-to-scroll instead of those stupid buttons16:08
alteregoWell, I "give a fuck" about it. I wouldn't have mentioned it otherwise.16:09
lcukthe only thing i need since we are in tablet format are things like quicksketch and camera and stuff, those are essential to using tablet in new places and situations16:09
lcukyeah johnx i do agree16:09
lcuknow i have the data i can look at manipulating it and seeing which works16:10
johnxand I think I'd love a mac-style (column-based) file manager as well :)16:10
lcukmaybe a single continuous list of all apps with kinetics, highlighting one of the menus on the left will scroll to the top of that bit of list16:10
Stskeepsjohnx: re blog, just go for blogspot or something :P16:10

lcuknot yet, theres no kinetics or anything - couple of days to work out specifics, ive also gotta make liqbase hide when i run an app16:15

lcukqwerty12_N800, i would rather just call some api to say "run liqbase.desktop"16:18
lcukor whatever it is16:18
crashanddielcuk, double click on it, or select it from the menu :D16:18
Stskeepslcuk: so you're doing the tabletui one?16:18
lcukkindof, its been in mind for ages since i did the physics view images thing, ive always wanted to fire off things you lot have made.16:19
lcukthe tabletui one has resparked interest because i knew liqbase could handle it, and ive parsed the default menu tree to see how it looks16:20
lcuki dont need to reinvent the wheel, theres already a controlpanel UI for setting up menus - might as well use whats there :)16:20
Stskeeps*nod*16:21
lcuksame goes for the desktop background16:21

qwerty12_N800johnx, the picture but I think I misread >.<16:24
johnxqwerty12_N800, it's an icon for lcuk's liqsketch16:24
johnxthere's already a program :)16:24
lcuki hate building things in old liqbase though, i wish i had finished the new cell/tile class properly16:24
Stslaptopjohnx: i wonder if it would be possible to have liqbase as backend for matchbox2.. :P16:24
qwerty12_N800johnx, oh, I thought that was your idea of a launcher :)16:25
johnxaah, just write in cursive to launch an app?16:25
johnxnow...hmm...that's kinda interesting16:25
lcukqwerty12_N800, thats an icon for liqsketch (note, specific app instead of all in one, i *MUST* split this lot off soon.  my mind hurts with the brainfuck i have to go through to do complex stuff in it16:26
qwerty12_N800:/16:26
lcukstroke recognition should do it16:26
Jaffalcuk: looking good16:26
johnxlcuk, good to hear it's being split up a little. hopefully on nice logical divisions16:27
lcukby the way, in a kinetic editor, if you do a stroke up down it should scroll, but if you do a side to side stroke it should start to select.  does that sound reasonable16:27
lcukyes16:27
johnxyeah, makes sense16:27
lcukjohnx, ive got half of a new build of liqbase here with clearly defined library files and all the media and style and cell classes usign reference counting16:28
lcukso i dont have to explicitely define allocate and free things, they can just be created shared linked and unlinked without messing16:28

AStormhard to push it w/o fingernails18:54
derfI have fingernails. I know how to push on something.18:54
AStormweird18:54

AStormprobably the spring is broken18:55
derfQuite possibly. But it wasn't by me.18:55
AStormdoes it "click"?18:55
derfNo, it doesn't.18:55
AStormok, so that's broken18:55
derfWhich was my original point.18:55
derfThe slots are all well and good, but if they don't actually work, they're useless.18:55

GAN8001One problem that we will have to address, though, are the edge-cases for user/*23:42
GAN8001Arguably, OpenSSH doesn't belong in user/* because it doesn't have a UI23:42
alteregoYeah23:42
VulcanisGAN: It belongs there more than dropbear does...23:42
alteregoMaybe I should remove erb, irb and ruby from user/* then ..23:42

alteregoThough, with ruby people can write scripts on the device and run them ..23:43
alteregoScrew it, I'll keep them under user :P23:43
GAN8001Yeah, I'm not too worried.23:43
alteregoIt's more the libs I have issues with :P23:44
GAN8001As long as it's something the user can actually use, it's mostly OK.23:44
