Jaffawazd: sorry, I'm with RST38h - I think Titan looks a bit too Windows 3.1ish, and doesn't fit with the coolness of the mer logo/background/loading screen00:35
Stskeepswazd: was my choice to take in titan :)00:36
Stskeepsas it was first and best theme that actually worked fully00:36
Stskeepsbut yes, there might be a replacement00:36
JaffaPlankton's open source, isn't it? Or does it not work in the fremantle hildon-desktop?00:36
unixSnobanyone have a gizmo account?00:36
StskeepsJaffa: plankton is plankton..00:36
Stskeepsbut yes, it's open source and all, but definately fitting worse into the artwork than titan ;)00:37
JaffaPersonally, I think http://www.flickr.com/photos/tigert/374514916/ looks better than Titan; but dunno how well it'll work with your compositing stuff.00:38
JaffaMaking any headway on the i18n issue, btw?00:38
Stskeepssitting and looking on it00:38
Jaffacool00:39
StskeepsJaffa: the problem is really - some locales work00:39
Stskeepsand majority doesn't00:39
unixSnobany way to show the password in the voip accounts?00:40
*** ciroip has joined #maemo00:40
timelessping00:41
timelessis there a page that talks about F<x> key mapping in maemo?00:41
Jaffatimeless: i.e. full screen = F6, home = F5 etc?00:42
timelessyes00:42
wazdJaffa: I was thinking to make Mer theme00:42
Jaffawazd: cool00:42
Jaffatimeless: I'm sure it's in one of the official docs under maemo.org00:42
wazdJaffa: Titan is temporary I suppose00:42
timelesshttp://maemo.org/community/oldwiki/howto-setupkeyboard/00:42
timelessis something that comes up00:42
timelessbut calling that 'official' is um...00:42

timelesshttp://maemo.org/maemo_release_documentation/maemo4.1.x/Maemo_Diablo_Reference_Manual_for_maemo_4.1.pdf00:43
timelessa pdf is not what i'd call useful documentation00:43
wazdJaffa: Never knew that Titan looks like win 3.1... Everybody says (and it was concerned to be) pretty modern sleek theme00:43
lcukits perfect00:44
Jaffatimeless: http://maemo.org/development/documentation/tutorials/maemo_bora_3-x_tutorial/#user_content_Hardware-keys00:44
timelessbora?00:44
timeless....00:44
Jaffatimeless: I know. Finding official Maemo documentation is a nightmare since someone had the "bright" idea of making them all PDFs with no HTML equivalent.00:44
timeless*user content* ?00:45
Jaffawazd: Just my IMHO. I know some people like it, and that's absolutely fine. Just not my cup of tea, I'm afraid.00:45
lcukthemes are user customizable for a reason, you will never ever have a one size fits all00:46
Jaffatimeless: http://maemomm.garage.maemo.org/docs/tutorial/html/ch02s03.html is a handy chart00:46

Stskeepshttp://tabletui.wordpress.com/2009/01/12/repos-a-la-mer/ <- look at post 10, click in post 1100:46
lcukheh wazd and microsoft up a tree00:47
JaffaStskeeps: indeed, was here earlier :)00:47
StskeepsJaffa: true :)00:47
lcukbut being perfectly honest :: wow at his simple lines :)00:48
wazdstskeeps: thats not a problem with MS, I'm just kidding00:48
Stskeepswazd: hehe, i'm kidding too :>00:48
wazdstskeeps: I've just got in a real bad situation with that copycat wallpaper00:48
Macerhi00:48
unixSnobanyone change their gizmo password before?  does it take a long time for the account to start working again?00:48
lcukwazd, of course you have but how else can you show underwater scenes00:49
Stskeepslcuk: pitch black!00:50
Stskeeps(which was the uncreative first background of mer)00:50
StskeepsJaffa: okay, so, the problem is that the locale strings are not there at all00:52
Stskeepsprevious versions had them00:52
Stskeepsin the fremantle pre-alpha SDK packages00:53
Stskeepsthere are -some-, but definately not all00:53
JaffaAh, translation teams will be late in the plan.00:54
StskeepsJaffa: not even engineering english is there though00:54
Stskeepsand the strings used to be there00:54
*** Ivan_Chelubeev has left #maemo00:55
* Stskeeps ponders hotpatching maemo-af-desktop just so it stops saying home_ap_home_view00:55
lcukStskeeps, its not a big deal as long as we document it as we notice them00:55
*** Shadow_M has quit IRC00:56
JaffaIs there a basic heuristic for >50% of the time turning the key into something sensible enough?00:56
StskeepsJaffa: google for key00:56
Stskeeps(i'm not kidding)00:56
Stskeeps(try google sfil_li_modified_today)00:57
*** fireun has joined #maemo00:58
Stskeepswith filetype:po00:58
*** rsalveti has joined #maemo00:59
Stskeepsanyhow. i actually anticipated this - if anyone wants to join in and add some strings, there's a mer-translations group on launchpad.01:00
*** zimmerle has joined #maemo01:01
Stskeepsit's pretty obvious to figure out what to add to the .po files when you google, and which branch to check out01:01
*** b-man has joined #maemo01:01
JaffaAny further missing ones could be filled in with something like: s/^.*?_\w\w_(.*)/$1/; then _ -> ' ' and capitalise every word.01:01
JaffaStskeeps: ah, so they exist in maemo svn not just any of the packages yet?01:02
StskeepsJaffa: they exist in older versions01:02
Stskeepsi have utterly no idea why they're no part of the new .po's01:02
Stskeeps+t01:02
Stskeepslet's take home_ap_home_view as example. it's not there for some silly reason. google home_ap_home_view filetype:po  , it suggests it's maemo-af-desktop-l10n , so you 'bzr branch lp:~mer-translations/m-r/maemo-af-desktop-i10n' add in the 3 lines of translation from your google match, bzr commit with a commit message, bzr push01:05
Stskeepsor, we ask nokia where they went, which could take a while, instead of a couple of hours of work of the immediate things we can see are missing01:06
JaffaFairly drudgerous work, tho'01:09
Stskeepsyeah01:09
Stskeepsthink i'll file a bug and see what they say01:09
lcuk+1 :) seems like a sensible option01:10
qwerty12_N800fixed in fremantle / wait for the production release :p01:10
Stskeepsqwerty12_N800: that'd send me into a raging fit01:11
qwerty12_N800hehe01:11
qwerty12_N800it would be cool if the gettext "id's" looked pretty "normal"01:13
Stskeepsi think it's okay they stand out01:13
Stskeepsforces the developer to do something about it01:13
JaffaStskeeps: what font are you using in your screenshots at the moment?01:14
StskeepsJaffa: i'm actually not sure01:14
*** unixSnob has quit IRC01:14
Stskeepsit's not nokia, for certain01:14
timelesshello01:15
JaffaThe Android ones look pretty sweet and have a compatible licence, FWIW01:15
*** thiagoss has joined #maemo01:15
Stskeepsyeah, but are they compatible with X? :P01:15
JaffaThey're just TTFs01:15
thiagosshow do I install soappy into maemo?01:15
JaffaStskeeps: I use 'Droid Sans' in Notes in diablo as a nicer font (and maybe even Droid Sans Mono in Terminal, I forget)01:15
johnxStskeeps, We're probably using fonts derived from the Vera Bitstream collection01:16

timelessjaffa: is that a good thing?01:20
timelessthat we only get 1000 bugs between today and harmattan's release?01:20
qwerty12_N800Fremantle seems, to me, to be the "Oh shit!" release. I wonder what Harmattan will be like :)01:20
timelessdid you paste the string i mentioned into the top field?01:20
timelessoops, wrong window01:20
Jaffatimeless: No, only 1000 bugs between today and when bugs are only dealt with in a release which is still ~6 months away ;-)01:20

lcukshould we start naming apps after attractions in the area ;)01:22
qwerty12_N800Jaffa, I choose 2) :)01:22
*** greentux has quit IRC01:24
* Jaffa would like to hope it's 1 *and* 2. And that the Fremantle UI'll get us further away from desktop computer metaphors which just don't work on a device this size.01:24

johnxStskeeps, we don't localizations (a .po file) that works with it right now?01:28
Stskeepsjohnx: more like we have the .po files but they are missing some things :)01:28
Stskeepssome things are there but some are not - some that -used- to be there01:29
johnxah, I assume Nokia is working on some new translations?01:29
Stskeepsi guess01:29
Stskeepsbut english translations? :P01:29

Stskeepswazd: any particular reason for the big white stripe?01:31
johnxwazd, i like it. I'm not sure about the bubbles though01:31
Jaffawazd: Nice. I always get concerned about relatively large edges/changes in wallpaper backgrounds. Although, I suppose the coral, the white light and the bubbles could be more subdued in the wallpaper version01:31
*** hannesw_ has quit IRC01:31
Stskeepswazd: looks great though, like all your work :)01:31
Stskeepsjohnx: did you try out the new rescue menu yet? :>01:32
johnxnot yet, still finishing off f-b-w and h-d-e after some interruptions :)01:32
Stskeepshehe01:32
Stskeepsi'll take a look at hildon-icons then01:33
wazdwell, white stripe is kinda ray of light :)01:33
wazdmaybe it's too bright01:33
Jaffawazd: works on a startup screen, I think.01:33
wazdIt still needs a lot of light'n'shadow work so it's just fyi :)01:34
*** thiagoss has left #maemo01:35
*** danilocesar has quit IRC01:37

*** woglinde has quit IRC01:43
*** Tales2 has joined #maemo01:43

johnxwazd, I agree01:43
*** Tales has quit IRC01:43
*** Tales2 is now known as Talse01:43
*** Talse is now known as Tales01:43
Jaffawazd: I think there should be a shiny mer start-up screen, a shiny mer wallpaper (the default if any nokia-provided wallpaper is currently selected, say) and a shiny mer theme01:43
johnxwazd, I know I've seen wallpapers similar to that one for quite a long time01:44
wazdYep, thats pretty confusing for me, but whatever, it's great wallpaper anyway01:44
*** housetier_ has joined #maemo01:44
Jaffas/shiny/cool/ to avoid any confusion :)01:44
wazdCause corals are really bad stuff for wallpaper01:44
wazdmuch detail noise01:45
Jaffawazd: agreed 100%. But if it was faded out to be more subtle, it might work01:45
wazdAnd if I remove corals, then (It's magic!) it appears to be Win 701:45

* lcuk uses a feather duster on lardmans baldspot17:41
GeneralAntillesRST38h, hardly.17:42
lardman:p17:42
GeneralAntillesFor marketing, maybe.17:42
GeneralAntillesBut certainly not for coding.17:42
lcukRST38h, theres been real omap3 devices around for months already :: movial have videos on youtube showing clear as day tablet form factor omap3 stuff17:43
lcuk"fierce" internet experience ;)17:43
GeneralAntillesMore than a year, even.17:43
lardmanyeah, but that's not really relevant, most apps could be written with no hw, just knowing the capabilities17:44
GeneralAntilles^17:44
lardmanthough knowing some more about the connectivity infrastructure would be useful for always-on type apps17:44
lcuklardman,  look around - all the people doing that are going "ummm its crap we need to optimize"17:44
lcukfor any platform17:44
lardmancertainly, but you write some code before you optimise it ;)17:45
lcukqt, saviour of the world :: has extensive core problems with speed - its great having a big fast desktop running things smoothly but it doesnt scale backwards17:45

aquatixlardman: hm, i always start with optimising17:45
aquatixlardman: contemplating my plans while drinking some coffee17:45
lardmanaquatix: well you have very large working memory then17:45
roopemy feeling is that people will be fairly impressed, providing things go well :).17:45
lcuklardman, you start by not driving a JCB into the sandpit17:45
suihkulokkilcuk: are you asserting that GTK was lightweight and designed for embedded? :P17:45
lcuksuihkulokki, hahaha no :|17:46

GeneralAntillesroope, you do have a way of saying things that cut right to people's worst fears. <_<17:48
lardmanlcuk: people will always write apps for commercial platforms17:49
GeneralAntillesThe trend with the tablets so far has been to crappier and crappier hardware keys, so combine that with certain comments and BOOM17:49

* lardman prays that it has a kb17:50
* GeneralAntilles agrees with lardman again. :P17:50

GeneralAntillesNot necessarily about the hw keyboard17:50

johnxStskeeps, and get a maemo-based phone out before Nokia17:56
GeneralAntilleslcuk, that's silly.17:56

johnxI need to put up a screenshot of what 640x480 looks like17:59
Stskeepsyes, you do17:59

zeldbut... nokia e51 work with symbian OS18:06
zeldsymbian is not a linux derived OS?18:06
Stskeepscorrect18:06
lcukjohnx, technically does pixels matter - i thought aspect ratio was MUCH more important18:07
Stskeepsalso, just because it runs linux, doesnt mean you can replace it :)18:07
lcukespecially if you wanna run things on HIGHER than defined - ie desktop/laptops have 1024/768 etc but you might still want fullscreen18:07
johnxlcuk, run some maemo apps in a xephyr window dialed to 320x240 :)18:07
aquatixzeld: symbian is an independent OS18:07

thopiekarI've got two questions... why is it so important to make a usb-network between the device and the pc to developt with esbox or pluthon? and why is the ip-adress in these plugins not changeable to link the plugins to wifi?21:43

Stskeepsor whatever the return thing is21:44
Stskeepsoh, right, vga21:44

qwerty12Stskeeps, grr, if you set matchbox mode to free then by default, it fucks up the dialog sizes & placements. Matan released a replacement matchbox binary which solves those problems in free mode. But he didn't release a diff. He doesn't seem to scared of releasing source so if you ask him for the patch, I'm sure that he will happily oblige.21:45
Stskeepsqwerty12: alright, ta, will ask him21:45
johnxStskeeps, my escape key sends F3 I believe :(21:45
Jaffathopiekar: using the new versions of the plugins or the old ones?21:45
thopiekarthe newest... but let my check it once again..21:46
RST38hSymbian again.21:47
JaffaI think the reason is that a) not many people are using them, b) the developers aren't using it in day-to-day development, c) it works for them, and that's enough21:47
* Jaffa has been thinking today again about Eclipse-based IDEs for JVM-based Maemo development: http://lists.evolvis.org/pipermail/jalimo-info/2009-January/000256.html21:47

Stskeepsand just store its bloody keys and leave me in peace :P21:49
johnxyeah :)21:49
RST38hJaffa: you mention WebOS as being "nicer" but you haven't really seen it yet21:50
johnxI think we can safely say this is one of those times when the user should have most of roots privileges21:50
RST38hJaffa: have you actually tried Android development btw?21:51
JaffaRST38h: Not in terms of the platform (well, apart from the technical API details and debugging screenshots which are leaking out), but in terms of developer friendliness, I'm willing to put a fiver on it being better than Scratchbox, rootstraps and the rest.21:52
JaffaRST38h: Some simple stuff. I'm not talking (really) about the development platform, but the developer *tools*.21:52
Stskeepsbtw, what do you people think QT being LGPL'ed will mean for mobile UIs? i mean, with it in symbian, maemo, and easily adaptable for embedded devices, and stable and well documented21:52
RST38hJaffa: You mean the IDE?21:52
Stskeepsis it going to aid in the "fight" against android UI api and others?21:52
JaffaRST38h: amongst other things, yes.21:53
RST38hJaffa: I don't think there are other things, a debugger maybe...21:53
johnxStskeeps, it is a huge blessing. pyqt is nice and simple21:53
RST38hdevelopment-wise Java is actually more of a problem than C/C++ (classpath etc)21:53
JaffaRST38h: Debugger's a big one. Remote debugging, even better. Have you seen the videos of iPhone development.21:53
RST38hNo, but I do not use debuggers much anyway21:54
StskeepsJaffa: some of that matches some of my thoughts regarding SDK i had initially :)21:54
RST38hprintf() usually solves all my problems21:54
johnxJaffa, is that the part where the apple sends the guy an NDA or where he can't run his app in the background :>21:54
thopiekarJaffa: I've got the newest plugin versions installed, but i can't even find a way to change the ip'S21:54
JaffaRST38h: Classpath's not really been an issue for the last 5 years or so. And now even with things like OSGi you can have multiple classpath versions in the same JVM21:54
RST38hMULTIPLE classpathes?21:55
JaffaRST38h: You're not going to start arguing that because you find printf() a perfectly satisfactory debugging technique, everyone else should too.21:55
RST38hI have problems with a single one, honestly...21:55
RST38hJaffa: nah, not starting an argument here21:55
RST38hJaffa: Just saying that for me personally debugger isn't a priority21:55
JaffaRST38h: multiple classpath version things. Useful for plugin environments where you want to run multiple separate plugins in the same environment, without resolving any dependency issues.21:55
RST38hJaffa: Don't want to run any Java.21:56
RST38hUsually crashes on my computer anyway21:56
Jaffajohnx: And, no - I'm not praising Apple's business practices. Their device. Or the iPhone. Just development tooling. Post-run profiling and debugging, remotely is a pretty compelling demo.21:57
wazdPalm Pre is for pussies. New Obama's smartphone is for real men :D21:57
johnxJaffa, I largely agree with you that maemo development tools (and especially tool setup) could be better. I was just having a dig :)21:57
RST38hwazd: WinMobile? naah21:57
RST38hwazd: He should be running EPOC16 to be a real man21:57

Stskeepswazd: so has problems on the same days that zunes does? :P21:58
wazdStskeeps: as I've read that Zune problem was actualy CPU problem :)21:59
RST38hJaffa: I would say, a more useful idea would be to improve C/C++ debugging and development21:59
RST38hJaffa: Let us say, take Geany on the desktop and integrate it with gdb running on the device21:59
RST38hJaffa: And instead of the dreadful scratchbox, use plain ssh to connect and run gdb21:59
Stskeepsgdbserver..? :P22:00
RST38hsomething like that22:00
JaffaRST38h: Absolutely. More sensible development tools would be great. Go to it. Personally, I'm having difficulty motivating myself to do the things I want to do at the moment. And dealing with low-level C APIs, ain't it.22:00
RST38hJaffa: The above stuff does not involve dealing with C22:01
RST38hJaffa: Ironically, it is mostly shell scripting22:01
RST38hJaffa: And possibly some perl/python to parse gdb output22:01
JaffaYes, but despite supporting improving C tools; since I don't want to *use* C tools, where's my itch?22:01

Shadow_Mah something about claws that i didnt like22:57
*** flavioribeiro has joined #maemo22:57
JaffaRST38h: To an extent. You can't do photo-realistic gaming on a Wii (without stupid amounts of hand-optimisation which just isn't economical) and can on an Xbox 360/PS3. You (probably) can't do much in the way of high-speed first person shooters on webOS; but you can do puzzle/simple/casual games like Tetris.22:57
RST38hJaffa: And, of course, if you use web page tools to write an app then any app that is not a web page will be difficult to write22:57

RST38hJaffa: Let me take another cheap shot22:58
RST38hJaffa: How about Chess? ;)22:58
JaffaRST38h: And the great thing about Maemo is that you're not limited to a single API or a single layer. No-one's arguing about that. But having a better system's useless if no-one's developing for it.22:58
RST38hJaffa: Nobody is developing for webOs YET22:58
JaffaRST38h: I think the "not a web page" argument doesn't hold water with the way that things like HTML5 and rich JavaScript apps are going.22:58
RST38hJaffa: So let us not be hasteful with analysis22:58
JaffaRST38h: Well, no-one outside the commercial pre-launch partners.22:58
RST38hJaffa: In reality, the "not a web page" argument is not as black-and-white as I have stated it22:59
*** else58 has joined #maemo22:59
RST38hJaffa: Rather, it feels like "the less static your application is, the more difficult it is to do in HTML and JS"22:59
JaffaRST38h: I'd happily put (some) money on more apps being in Palm's App Catalog within, say, 3 months of launch than there are in downloads.maemo.org/OS2008 after 2 years.22:59
JaffaRST38h: No argument from me.23:00
JaffaRST38h: So the "no-one's developing for webOS *YET*" is a valid point, but I think we can safely extrapolate.23:00
RST38hBut my suspicion is that at some point Palm will break and publish a native API23:00
sistoi have a new printer :D23:00
RST38hJaffa: Can't safely extrapolate in this business23:00
JaffaWhether anyone will be developing for it in 3 years time, who knows. (Then again, same goes for Maemo ;-))23:00
RST38hJaffa: Way too many variables23:00
