rm_you | tonyyarusso: look into Boot From SD | 00:46 |
rm_you | you'll need to actually run the OS from a partition on an SD card | 00:46 |
tonyyarusso | rm_you: So I have to make the whole thing on it eh? Okay. | 00:46 |
rm_you | Yep. better idea anyway | 00:47 |
tonyyarusso | rm_you: Am I going to have to totally re-install everything to do that? | 00:47 |

tonyyarusso | Better idea why? | 00:47 |
rm_you | Clone From SD | 00:47 |
rm_you | search on the forums | 00:47 |

Corsac | mpf, sometimes mer doesn't see my wifi network | 09:27 |
Corsac | not sure why | 09:27 |
Corsac | (and I can't reset the connection, I guess) | 09:27 |
Corsac | as I can't right clic on the nm icon | 09:28 |
Stskeeps | Corsac: yeah, it is because cx3110x doesn't like constant scanning :/ | 09:28 |
Stskeeps | i have to patch NetworkManager for it | 09:28 |
Stskeeps | it would be better if there was tap and hold on that icon, heh | 09:29 |
Corsac | we really need a newer kernel (but someone on #emdebian said that powermanagement wasn't really available on more recent kernels :/ ) | 09:29 |
Corsac | Stskeeps: tap & hold requires something special? | 09:29 |
Corsac | (patched gtk or stuff like that?) | 09:29 |
Corsac | or just some tuning in evdev? | 09:29 |
Stskeeps | mm, gtk level, we have patched gtk | 09:29 |

slonopotamus | Stskeeps, hi. i still don't understand what is 'cx3110x'. insmod cx3110x.ko, dmesg: cx3110x: chip variant STLC4550. | 09:32 |
Corsac | slonopotamus: the wlan chip | 09:33 |
slonopotamus | Corsac, then what's 'stlc4550'? | 09:33 |
Corsac | the chip variant? | 09:33 |
Stskeeps | slonopotamus: cx3110x is a connex or something | 09:33 |
Stskeeps | Corsac: setxkbmap -model nokiarx44 -layout something, something is described in Known issues | 09:34 |
slonopotamus | Corsac, how that differs? | 09:34 |
slonopotamus | Stskeeps, connex - ? | 09:34 |
Stskeeps | slonopotamus: higher level product, lower level variant? | 09:34 |
Stskeeps | so high level product is the CX3110X chip, and the variant of it is the STLC4550 :P | 09:34 |
slonopotamus | crap. | 09:35 |
Corsac | slonopotamus: will check | 09:35 |
slonopotamus | then we don't have 'cx3110x' chip. | 09:35 |
Stskeeps | it makes more sense in the modern driver. | 09:35 |
Corsac | damn | 09:35 |
Corsac | Stskeeps: will check | 09:35 |
slonopotamus | we have 'stlc4550' chip. | 09:35 |
tonyyarusso | Is it possible to install additional languages / locales? | 09:35 |
tonyyarusso | (specifically, English/Canada) | 09:35 |
Stskeeps | to what? | 09:35 |
Stskeeps | Corsac: and yes, you can disable it too | 09:35 |
tonyyarusso | For the system overall, that is. | 09:35 |
Stskeeps | Maemo? there should be support | 09:36 |
slonopotamus | this drives me crazy | 09:36 |
slonopotamus | at least i built a driver and it even happily insmoded. | 09:36 |
Stskeeps | slonopotamus: cx3110x driver supports two different chip types | 09:36 |
Stskeeps | and the driver works for stlc4550 and one other | 09:36 |
Stskeeps | it also worked for the 770 on their kernel | 09:36 |
* slonopotamus thinks if he should publish stage with xorg or not | 09:37 | |
slonopotamus | oh. you'd say "whether i should publish", right? | 09:38 |
Stskeeps | both works i guess | 09:38 |
Corsac | ok lets reboot | 09:39 |
*** ken-p has quit IRC | 09:40 | |
ibuffy | thanks Stskeeps | 09:41 |
Corsac | Stskeeps: do you think using the tslib patch for tap&hold would make sense? | 09:41 |
Corsac | or will this definitely require a patch for gtk? | 09:42 |
slonopotamus | i want to use tslib patch. | 09:42 |
*** L0cutus has joined #maemo | 09:42 | |
Corsac | I should setup a scratchbox somewhere and rebuild that to test it | 09:42 |
slonopotamus | Corsac, you're talking about http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=495487 right? | 09:42 |
Stskeeps | Corsac: i don't entirely agree with the level | 09:43 |
Stskeeps | and i am afraid it might break some things horribly in libhildon :P | 09:43 |
Corsac | slonopotamus: yes | 09:43 |
Corsac | Stskeeps: oh? | 09:43 |
Stskeeps | as it moves tap and hold detection to a different level | 09:43 |
Corsac | hhm | 09:43 |
Corsac | in maemo the tap&hold is at gtk level? | 09:44 |
Stskeeps | yeah | 09:44 |
Corsac | and the used patch is not usable in Mer? | 09:44 |
Corsac | too recent gtk? | 09:45 |
Stskeeps | it is probably usable but we run our own branch of tslib xorg driver | 09:45 |
Stskeeps | also, let us say you are drawing in xournal.. you are going to cause tap and hold way too much | 09:45 |
Corsac | if you dont move the stylus, yes | 09:46 |
Corsac | but aiui the “right clic” event is only emitted if you hold the stylus for .5s at least, in the same area | 09:46 |
Stskeeps | also, having an animation appear for tap and hold in progress is useful :P | 09:48 |
Corsac | yeah | 09:48 |
Corsac | but having tap&hold without animation is better than no tap&hold at all, I guess | 09:49 |
slonopotamus | Stskeeps, animation is only required if timeout is too long :) | 09:49 |
Corsac | but yeah it's two different roads | 09:49 |
Corsac | slonopotamus: you have to have a quite long timeout | 09:49 |
Corsac | if you don't want the right clic to be activated | 09:49 |
Corsac | +too much | 09:49 |
*** lpotter_ has quit IRC | 09:49 | |
slonopotamus | Corsac, yes, but that doesn't make my statement false :) | 09:51 |
*** Wikier has joined #maemo | 09:52 | |
Corsac | that just means animation is required :) | 09:54 |
slonopotamus | i wonder who'll patch qt, wxwidgets, etc. | 09:56 |
Corsac | that's why it shouldn't be implemented in qt, gtk or whatever | 09:56 |
Corsac | but at a single point | 09:56 |
Corsac | hmhm is the notification area a real system tray? | 09:57 |

violetdream | Ok, I may be asking some stupid questions here, so please forgive me. | 10:05 |
violetdream | There is an application I was trying to compile which is GNOME based and needs some GTK libraries. | 10:05 |
violetdream | Is this possible in Maemo? | 10:05 |
Stskeeps | well, we have GTK, which libraries in question? | 10:05 |
violetdream | Let me double check again. | 10:06 |
Stskeeps | be aware that some of the libraries might be horribly outdated in diablo, but it shouldn't be that bad.. | 10:06 |
violetdream | Shoot, it needs libgnomeui it looks like - no good? | 10:07 |
Stskeeps | sec | 10:07 |
violetdream | gtk+-2.0 >= 2.8.0 libgnomeui-2.0 gtksourceview-2.0 gtkspell-2.0 | 10:07 |
violetdream | and libgtkhtml | 10:08 |
Stskeeps | yeah, that might be difficult :/ what do you need it for, if i may ask? | 10:09 |

RST38h | Sts: US has no federal VAT and state taxes are in 5-6% range | 12:09 |
*** tbf has joined #maemo | 12:10 | |

X-Fade | Realistically, you will see this in devices in 2011. | 12:24 |
GeneralAntilles | X-Fade, there may be a slightly shorter time to market since it's slightly less of an upgrade compared to OMAP2/OMAP3 | 12:25 |

jeremiah | Then I could post links to build results and finished packages . . . | 13:43 |
Stskeeps | jeremiah: as in we don't really expect people to be constantly available here, so we just lay a "nickname, ping?" and then when the person is back, they answer pong :P | 13:43 |
GeneralAntilles | I'm in favor of having them in the form of large rocks, with a webcam feed so we can watch them build up around jeremiah. ;) | 13:43 |

tonyyarusso | How can I edit the boot timeout? (I tried editing /mnt/initfs/bootmenu.conf, but it's read-only) | 13:45 |
Stskeeps | GeneralAntilles: the interesting part is that we add diablo extras directly to the mer installation | 13:45 |
Stskeeps | and the call for developers to check their apps | 13:45 |
qwerty12 | tonyyarusso, mount -o remount,rw /mnt/initfs | 13:45 |
jeremiah | X-Fade: Well, people could submit packages to be reviewed/built/etc to a trac list, or should that go into bugzilla? | 13:45 |
X-Fade | jeremiah: Bug reporting is supposed to be done in bugzilla. The problem is, where to file a bug against a random package? | 13:46 |
tonyyarusso | qwerty12: excellent | 13:46 |
jeremiah | X-Fade: Yeah. I am not sure what a good way to do this is. What do you think? | 13:47 |
jeremiah | X-Fade: What do you do now if someone wants packaging help? Do you reply via email? | 13:48 |

RST38h | It does look like Xperia was enough for Sony to figure out why WinMo is not a good idea though =) | 17:01 |
johnx | RST38h, it is worth noting they're not exclusive to winmo though | 17:01 |
RST38h | johnx: Who? HTC? | 17:01 |
johnx | both | 17:02 |
RST38h | johnx: HTC is pretty much WinMo exclusive | 17:02 |
RST38h | johnx: LG is not, but they don't have that many smartphones either | 17:02 |
Phoodus | Is there any way to adjust the system font size in Mer? | 17:03 |
johnx | yeah, HTC is winmo exclusive except for those android phones | 17:03 |
johnx | and didn't they do designs for Palm? | 17:03 |
RST38h | johnx: Not sure about Palm thing, haven't heard about it. Android is more of an exception. | 17:03 |

*** b0unc3 has quit IRC | 17:06 | |
johnx | wow...so...that's kind of an interesting definition of 'exclusive' | 17:06 |
RST38h | wazd: that was an elephant who ran from a traveling circus and went native | 17:07 |
RST38h | johnx: you perfectly understand what I mean | 17:07 |
Macer | haha | 17:07 |
RST38h | johnx: HTC makes WinMo phones. Then Google asks them (and pays) to make an Android phone. They do. | 17:07 |
johnx | then they make a second | 17:07 |
Macer | RST38h: android is awesome :) | 17:08 |
RST38h | johnx: And a second one, which they also do | 17:08 |
Macer | go google! | 17:08 |
Macer | haha | 17:08 |
RST38h | johnx: Now, if they start making more models on their own, reducing the number of WinMo handsets, that would be a trend | 17:08 |
*** murrayc has joined #maemo | 17:08 | |
RST38h | johnx: But so far, it is more like an exception, especially considering that Google asked them | 17:08 |
Macer | isn't htc owned by via? | 17:08 |
RST38h | Macer: is it? hmm | 17:08 |
johnx | RST38h, sure, but there's grey area between 'exclusive' and 'trend' | 17:08 |

wazd | wow | 17:09 |
Macer | which is owned by an extremely rich tw family | 17:09 |
RST38h | johnx: I guess we can somehow define it in terms of percentages or the profit | 17:09 |
Macer | wazd: android is great :) | 17:09 |
RST38h | johnx: but we are not editing wikipedia here, so it is not very important | 17:09 |
johnx | or we can say that HTC used to be exclusively WinMo, but now they're not and a certain Steve from Redmond is probably pissed | 17:10 |
RST38h | johnx: He would be even more pissed if they just switched their Touch line to Android | 17:11 |
johnx | well, only time will tell | 17:11 |
RST38h | So far, I am sure it is more like an annoyance to Stevie | 17:11 |
johnx | yeah, but he's kind of an ... uhm ... excitable guy | 17:12 |
Macer | i don't really like winmo anyways | 17:12 |
johnx | in other news: neat to see some of the nVidia's Tegra concept devices | 17:12 |

johnx | Phoodus, what happens if you click the 'plug' icon in the status bar? | 17:14 |
Phoodus | johnx: argh, thanks. I thought that was for wired, since it's the same icon as deblet, or the config's DSL icon | 17:14 |

*** ab has quit IRC | 17:16 | |
Macer | less dated interface like symbian | 17:16 |
wazd | RST38h: It's android! How dare you! | 17:16 |

RST38h | Macer: I am used to S60 UI, it is ok with me | 17:16 |
Macer | and better interface | 17:16 |
Macer | i am too. i have an n95.. but it still sucks as an interface compared to android | 17:17 |
* RST38h can operate S60 with one hand. Is it possible to do with Android? | 17:17 | |
Macer | depends on the phone | 17:17 |
GeneralAntilles | Tegra is shit. | 17:17 |
RST38h | There is only 1 Android phone on the market right now | 17:17 |
wazd | All current interfaces are outdated now | 17:17 |
GeneralAntilles | Linux support == Android | 17:17 |
RST38h | So, is it possible to operate G1 with one hand? | 17:17 |

*** StsN801 has quit IRC | 17:17 | |
Macer | not yet. ;) although probably | 17:17 |
Macer | i'm not sure if they've made an onscreen touch keyboard | 17:18 |
RST38h | General: Tegra is Nvidia's vidoe hw + a random ARM core they slapped in | 17:18 |
Macer | you can other than typing i suppose | 17:18 |
RST38h | General: So, don't be too harsh on them | 17:18 |
johnx | GeneralAntilles, eh. kinda. I wonder what kind of 3D support they have in Android | 17:18 |
Macer | and even then.. if you're good.. then yes :) | 17:18 |
RST38h | Macer: I can operate E70 with one hand even if I am bad | 17:18 |
RST38h | Macer: it may look dull and dated but it does the job | 17:18 |
roope | The thing with WH is that eventually their gains will come to just about any SW platform. | 17:18 |
Macer | i suppose.. but all android would need is an onscreen touch kb | 17:19 |
GeneralAntilles | I don't see the advantage to Tegra over OMAP. | 17:19 |
Macer | and there you go... gets the job done :) | 17:19 |
Macer | and looks better in the process | 17:19 |
RST38h | General: Probably in 3D features, but we have no details on these yet | 17:19 |
Macer | symbian looks like it is straight out of 1990 | 17:19 |
johnx | GeneralAntilles, then don't look at as Tegra vs OMAP3. I think they're trying to compete a little more downmarket | 17:19 |
RST38h | General: because both ImageTec and Nvidia are so damn secretive | 17:19 |
GeneralAntilles | I'd love to see TI shipping that ARM GPU on the OMAP4 | 17:19 |

wazd | Macer: all blig-blig stuff goes away after a week | 17:20 |
GeneralAntilles | johnx, well, they're talking about MIDs. | 17:20 |
GeneralAntilles | and they aint shipping no OMAP2s in MIDs. ;) | 17:20 |
wazd | bling-bling I mean) | 17:20 |
RST38h | Macer: touchscreen is inherently more difficult to operate, no native apps, etc | 17:20 |
RST38h | General: There are MIPS-based cheap MIDs | 17:20 |
johnx | GeneralAntilles, well a certain company has been competing in the MID market with an OMAP2... | 17:20 |
GeneralAntilles | johnx, most of my negative reactions are in respond to inane fanboism. | 17:21 |
RST38h | General: However slow that Tegra may be, it will run circles around poor MIPS | 17:21 |
Macer | RST38h: all i can say is i had an n95.. i loved it... now i have a g1 (and the n95 still) and i like my g1 more | 17:21 |
GeneralAntilles | johnx, yeah, in 2007, now they're moving on. | 17:21 |
wazd | Ask any sane iPhone user, all excitement bout supersmooth scrolling going away very soon | 17:21 |
johnx | GeneralAntilles, that's fair. It's hilarious on the pandora forums "Will the next Pandora have something super awesome like a tegra?!" | 17:21 |
roope | When Tegra finally comes, then there will be the Tegra2, or the Tigra, or whatever, and people will be like "oh this Tegra is crap, I want the Tigra". | 17:22 |
Macer | if you aren't driving your car trying to txt with one hand ... and you are sitting down and actually using your phone... the g1 is better to use than the n95 | 17:22 |
johnx | I guess the Tegra's speed will depend on how well NV can get things shifted onto the GPU | 17:22 |
qwerty12_N800 | they should be asking if the "current" pandora will be shipped before the 2012 olympics | 17:22 |

*** yerga has joined #maemo | 18:27 | |
GeneralAntilles | johnx, is there one? ;) | 18:28 |
GeneralAntilles | johnx, anyway, it sounds like a good opportunity to figure it out. | 18:29 |
johnx | GeneralAntilles, well, apps targetted at chinook/diablo OS2008 extras could expect an armv6 and a vfp. apps targeted at being run in Mer should run on an armv5te w/o vfp | 18:29 |
qwerty12 | johnx, it's up to the packager/developer, I use "ifneq (,$(findstring vfp,$(DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS)))\nCFLAGS += -mfpu=vfp -mfloat-abi=softfp -mcpu=arm1136jf-s -mtune=arm1136jf-s \nendif" in my extras packages. I'm pretty sure that those packages won't run on a 770 | 18:29 |
johnx | or a zaurus or a pocketloox | 18:29 |
*** Cwiiis has joined #maemo | 18:30 | |
qwerty12 | But if I'm being honest, when I upload to Extras, I'm thinking about a N8x0 running diablo/chinook - not a 770 using a hackers edition or Mer | 18:30 |
Jaffa | "armel" isn't really specific enough | 18:31 |
*** Andrewfblack has joined #maemo | 18:31 | |
johnx | yeah. ubuntu and debian already target different CPUs and call the packages 'armel' | 18:32 |
Jaffa | And, as a dev, I'd want to upload a single package and have the auto-builder deal with the processor flags (unless I know they cause problems) | 18:32 |
StsN800 | maybe expecting direct usage of extras binary packages | 18:33 |
StsN800 | is | 18:33 |
StsN800 | a bit too much | 18:34 |
Jaffa | StsN800: I think it should be a primary goal for N8x0 hardware; or some solution to the problem found | 18:35 |
Jaffa | Maybe an auto-rebuilder :) | 18:35 |
johnx | hmm...as a fallback for packages that won't be/can't be rebuilt it makes sense | 18:35 |
*** pe2 has joined #maemo | 18:36 | |
*** pe2 has quit IRC | 18:36 | |
johnx | Jaffa, as for uploading a single source package I think that is definitely an achievable goal | 18:36 |
*** pe2 has joined #maemo | 18:37 | |
StsN800 | or trying to grab all extras packages and build them | 18:37 |
johnx | I've also been looking at that a little bit | 18:37 |
StsN800 | and make a % of compatibility | 18:38 |
*** kozak has joined #maemo | 18:38 | |
johnx | anyways, I should make xfbdev work right on the zaurus so there's more of a purpose to having good armv5te support :) | 18:39 |

*** kcome has quit IRC | 18:43 | |
Phoodus | man, there are a lot of issues with onboard | 18:44 |

Phoodus | k, I'll give them a try | 18:45 |
johnx | but this is one of the bigger reasons I threw in the towel on my hacked up version of debian | 18:45 |
StsN800 | johnx, if you could answer to ta-t3 then about enter | 18:45 |
Phoodus | the weird thing is that the Enter key doesn't work in onboard. Kind of makes it useless :-P | 18:45 |

Davide | doesnt it need the path to the player? | 21:30 |
luke-jr | guess I get special extras | 21:30 |
benson | luke-jr: It came on mine... | 21:31 |
Davide | for example for mplayer I put: /usr/bin/mplayer | 21:31 |
luke-jr | o | 21:31 |
benson | I axed it. | 21:31 |
johnx | Davide, I don't think he was answering your question | 21:31 |
*** bergie has quit IRC | 21:31 | |
Davide | oh ok | 21:31 |
Davide | sorry I'm so self centered :D | 21:31 |
benson | Stupid videos are even less useful than user manuals in Russian to me. | 21:31 |
johnx | no worries :) | 21:31 |
Davide | but anyhow anyone have any idea? | 21:32 |
johnx | Davide, is sox available for os2008? | 21:32 |
Davide | is it possible to control the Standard Media Player from another program? | 21:32 |
Davide | idk | 21:32 |
Davide | not in the repositories | 21:32 |
Davide | not the regular maemo repositories at least | 21:32 |
Davide | where would I look for it? | 21:32 |
*** dphil314 has left #maemo | 21:33 | |
johnx | huh...I see it here | 21:33 |
johnx | let's see what repo it is | 21:33 |
Davide | oh? | 21:33 |
Davide | let me check | 21:33 |
Davide | its called sox | 21:33 |
Davide | just like that? | 21:33 |
johnx | yup | 21:33 |
Davide | nope | 21:34 |
Davide | wait | 21:34 |
Davide | are you in red pill mode? | 21:34 |
johnx | I used apt-get | 21:34 |
wazd | Woo, I got an idea! | 21:34 |
Davide | remind me how that command works? sorry I'm not linux savvy! | 21:34 |
*** qwerty12_N800 has joined #maemo | 21:34 | |

johnx | apt-cache policy sox | 21:35 |
Davide | do I have to be in root? | 21:35 |
johnx | yup | 21:35 |
johnx | so first type: root | 21:35 |
johnx | then just try apt-get install sox | 21:35 |
johnx | yup. it's in extras | 21:35 |
Davide | could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock etc... | 21:36 |
johnx | you have application manager running :) | 21:36 |
Davide | oh haha yes | 21:36 |
johnx | two package managers running at the same time would be 'not cool' | 21:37 |
luke-jr | how do I get ssh? :/ | 21:37 |
johnx | it's called openssh-server | 21:37 |
johnx | it's in extras | 21:37 |

Davide | unpaking | 21:38 |
Davide | sweet | 21:38 |
Davide | so why does it not find it through the app manager? | 21:38 |
Stskeeps | because packages that are not in user/ may hurt and cut users.. | 21:38 |
Stskeeps | :P | 21:38 |
johnx | well there's like a dozen low-level 'not really end-user friendly' packages for every friendly GUI package | 21:38 |
Davide | oh | 21:39 |
* Stskeeps personally believes in darwinism when it comes to packages choice, but so it goes. | 21:39 | |

johnx | luke-jr, did you run out of space while installing something? | 21:39 |
luke-jr | johnx: I hope not? | 21:40 |

luke-jr | openssh install is hanging tho | 21:40 |
*** frade has quit IRC | 21:40 | |
Davide | or make xchat use sox? | 21:40 |
luke-jr | Davide: sox is illegal | 21:40 |

Davide | huh? | 21:40 |
luke-jr | don't believe me, go read the licenses ;) | 21:40 |
johnx | Davide, same way as using mplayer: sox /media/mmc2/my-file.wav | 21:40 |
luke-jr | redistribution of sox is not permitted as a whole | 21:40 |
GeneralAntilles | timeless, I already voted, so I can't confirm but doesn't the "Voting requirements for future Maemo Community Council elections" line tell you what you're voting in? | 21:41 |
RST38h | luke: why? | 21:41 |
luke-jr | in particular, gsm support (not optional) included is not legally copyable | 21:41 |
luke-jr | there is no license granted to copy it | 21:41 |
RST38h | ah shit | 21:41 |
Davide | so it cannot be shared? | 21:42 |
Davide | :{ | 21:42 |
*** myosound has quit IRC | 21:42 | |
GeneralAntilles | luke-jr, since you've got such a thing for license pedantry, try not to throw around the term "illegal" too much. | 21:42 |
luke-jr | not legally unless you strip gsm out | 21:42 |
GeneralAntilles | luke-jr, I'm not sure you totally understand the meaning. | 21:43 |
luke-jr | err | 21:43 |
* johnx sighs | 21:43 | |
luke-jr | can I get the terminal autocomplete to NOT show my SSH password? :/ | 21:43 |
johnx | Davide, don't worry about it too much | 21:43 |
Stskeeps | you have terminal autocomplete? :P | 21:43 |
Stskeeps | luke-jr: tap and hold, remove | 21:44 |
luke-jr | it was on already ;p | 21:44 |
johnx | luke-jr, they fixed it in the new version of the terminal that you don't want to upgrade to | 21:44 |
benson | luke-jr: newer version... | 21:44 |
luke-jr | ugh | 21:44 |
luke-jr | Zaurus kb was so much better ☹ | 21:44 |
GeneralAntilles | benson++ | 21:44 |
johnx | yeah, but sharp hates us more than nokia hates us | 21:44 |
luke-jr | how do I press Home? | 21:44 |
Stskeeps | the swap button | 21:45 |
johnx | O_o | 21:45 |
luke-jr | wtf? | 21:45 |
Stskeeps | or whatever the icon is on n810 | 21:45 |
johnx | luke-jr, do you have an n810 or n800? | 21:45 |
* Stskeeps owns a n800 but would also love a n810 donation. :P | 21:45 | |
benson | luke-jr: upper button on the left edge | 21:45 |
johnx | n810 = two boxes left of the screen, n800 = picture of a house | 21:45 |
luke-jr | that opens some menu | 21:45 |
luke-jr | johnx: 810 | 21:45 |
RST38h | Heh, looks like Nokia released TWO similar phones with qwerty: E75 *and* XpressMusic 5730 | 21:45 |
RST38h | Why would they do it? | 21:46 |
johnx | RST38h, the mysteries of marketing | 21:46 |
Davide | well instead of playing it gives me a hge list like a help file | 21:46 |
johnx | luke-jr, yes, it opens the app switching menu | 21:46 |
benson | RST38h: saves development costs over two different phones. | 21:46 |
Davide | what would I type to make it just play the file | 21:47 |
*** harbaum_ has joined #maemo | 21:47 | |
luke-jr | johnx: but I want to press Home… | 21:47 |
johnx | Davide, where is your file and exactly what did you type? also: remember that it's case SenSitiVe :) | 21:47 |
luke-jr | the key | 21:47 |
luke-jr | mtdblock0 contains the others, right? | 21:47 |
Davide | I typed: sox /media/mmc1/xchat/help01.wav | 21:47 |
benson | Davide: play is the version of sox that goes to output. | 21:48 |
Davide | so I type play /media/mmc1/xchat/help01.wav | 21:48 |
Davide | ? | 21:48 |
benson | Yes | 21:48 |
Davide | oh | 21:48 |
johnx | Davide, ah. sorry about that. been years since I used sox :( | 21:49 |
RST38h | benson: but it is essentially the same phone, even mechanically | 21:49 |
benson | (If you don't have play, sox can do it, but you need some options to tell it about the output.) | 21:49 |
RST38h | johnx: Ah, don't tell me they are going to try "software differentiation" again :) | 21:49 |
benson | RST38h: sure, saves _lots_ of development costs. | 21:49 |
*** Free_maN has joined #maemo | 21:49 | |

Davide | thank you so much | 21:50 |
Davide | you just made my day! | 21:50 |

Davide | it works! | 21:51 |

*** thopiekar has joined #maemo | 21:52 | |
luke-jr | any way to get a full internal-MTD-flash backup? | 21:52 |
Davide | hey let me ask you this is there a way to make xchat respond to a trigger for example a certain string? | 21:52 |
johnx | luke-jr, mtdutils | 21:52 |
Stskeeps | luke-jr: kinda complicated topic really | 21:52 |
luke-jr | johnx: you might be familiar with Zaurus NAND backups? | 21:52 |
luke-jr | that's kinda what I want ;) | 21:52 |
johnx | luke-jr, I never used them | 21:52 |
Davide | and respond with a sound? whenever a string is detected? | 21:52 |
Phoodus | I think flasher does that, look at the help | 21:52 |
qwerty12_N800 | luke-jr: if you have a long while... set up sd card booting first | 21:52 |
Stskeeps | luke-jr: how come you want to backup it fully anyway? | 21:53 |
johnx | luke-jr, why are you so interested in doing a NAND backup? Nokia distributes the whole thing on their website... | 21:53 |
luke-jr | Stskeeps: so if I ever want to, I can restore it to exactly how I got it | 21:53 |
Stskeeps | luke-jr: you can reverse it to factory settings by the firmware flashing, really :P | 21:54 |
johnx | you want to keep the previous owner's files? :D | 21:54 |
luke-jr | factory firmware != used firmware | 21:54 |
luke-jr | yeah | 21:54 |
Stskeeps | luke-jr: no, but it is the sanest to do in this instance | 21:54 |
Stskeeps | and trust me, i have trashed my internal flash a lot :P | 21:54 |
luke-jr | Stskeeps: as you said, factory firmware is easy to restore | 21:54 |
luke-jr | though, what if I brick it? | 21:54 |
Stskeeps | it is very difficult to brick it | 21:54 |
johnx | then it's bricked | 21:54 |
luke-jr | no de-brick method? ;/ | 21:55 |
Stskeeps | and even if you did have the mtd parts, it would still be difficult to debrick | 21:55 |
*** t_s_o has quit IRC | 21:55 | |
qwerty12_N800 | cold flashing | 21:55 |
GeneralAntilles | Just don't overwrite NOLO. | 21:55 |
benson | At the moment, nobody outside Nokia knows how to cold-flash it. | 21:55 |
GeneralAntilles | It's easy to not do. | 21:55 |
Stskeeps | yeah, that's the rule | 21:55 |
luke-jr | :O | 21:55 |
GeneralAntilles | benson, orly? | 21:55 |
johnx | luke-jr, the definition of 'brick' is "not recoverable without hardware intervention" | 21:55 |
luke-jr | the Zaurus had a nice secret boot menu outside flash that could restore a NAND backup | 21:55 |
GeneralAntilles | benson, build yourself the appropriate serial cable and use the flasher tool. . . . | 21:55 |
qwerty12_N800 | benson: flasher can do. details of the cable are a little sketchy | 21:56 |
johnx | luke-jr, if you can get to that menu your zaurus was not bricked | 21:56 |
luke-jr | johnx: upgraders never touch that menu | 21:56 |
Stskeeps | luke-jr: basically if you brick initfs, kernel or rootfs, you can restore them | 21:56 |
benson | Yeah, nobody knows the cable for cold-flashing, right? or does someone? | 21:56 |
Stskeeps | luke-jr: very easy, and we do it constantly | 21:56 |
GeneralAntilles | benson, there are pinouts on a couple places on the net. | 21:56 |
johnx | luke-jr, well, it's different on the n810, so don't interupt it when it flashes the lowest level bootloader | 21:56 |
GeneralAntilles | For instance: http://www.bu3sch.de/n810.php | 21:56 |
luke-jr | how do I know if I "got" extra maps? | 21:57 |
johnx | what does that mean? | 21:57 |
benson | O.o Maybe I'll think about overclocking then. I thought nobody knew... | 21:57 |
Stskeeps | luke-jr: they'd be on the internal MMC | 21:57 |
luke-jr | the GPSstuff | 21:57 |
Stskeeps | (afaik) | 21:57 |
RST38h | luke: /media/mmc2 | 21:57 |
RST38h | and go by filenames from there | 21:57 |
luke-jr | the FAT? | 21:57 |
luke-jr | so installing the latest firmware shouldn't touch that? | 21:58 |
Stskeeps | luke-jr: besides that, it is very bloody difficult to screw up a flash :P | 21:58 |
RST38h | luke: What are you talking about? | 21:58 |
Stskeeps | luke-jr: yes | 21:58 |
luke-jr | maps/license for the GPS app | 21:58 |
RST38h | no, upgrading firmware will not screw your /media/mmc2 | 21:58 |
luke-jr | ok | 21:58 |
luke-jr | how long does the firmware flash take? | 21:58 |
Stskeeps | ~minute | 21:58 |

johnx | :D | 21:58 |
johnx | awesome macro | 21:58 |

luke-jr | ok | 22:00 |
johnx | roughly | 22:00 |
johnx | hence ~minute | 22:00 |
benson | GeneralAntilles: That's just for srial console -- I'd got the impression cold-flashing needed a different cable? | 22:00 |
qwerty12_N800 | same port at least | 22:00 |
benson | Maybe I need to do some more research -- memory's fuzzy. | 22:00 |

RST38h | Sorry to ask, but can't you simply google for n810 wimax edition and look at the image? | 22:08 |
RST38h | mmm | 22:09 |
johnx | luke-jr, you're the one worried about bricking it, but sure go ahead and chance it... | 22:09 |
Stskeeps | luke-jr: yeah, its a good thing to do, but the flasher procedure doesn't start when it is in a bad state | 22:09 |
luke-jr | what is Hacker Edition? | 22:09 |
RST38h | you do not need it. | 22:09 |
Stskeeps | luke-jr: 770 related | 22:09 |

Stskeeps | luke-jr: since your MAC matched to that firmware, then yes :P | 22:12 |
luke-jr | erm | 22:13 |
benson | johnx: I think so, but could be wrong. Never really thought about it... | 22:13 |
GeneralAntilles | benson, the argument there is that if the power goes out or the charger cable gets removed there might be trouble. | 22:14 |
luke-jr | Stskeeps: there were multiple options | 22:14 |
luke-jr | where is the source for 'flasher'? | 22:14 |
johnx | luke-jr, it's closed source | 22:14 |
Stskeeps | luke-jr: closed source, but there is an open alternative, 0xFFFF | 22:14 |

johnx | GeneralAntilles, 1080p on an arm device is somewhat impressive... | 22:51 |
GeneralAntilles | johnx, if the only thing you're doing is video playback. | 22:51 |
GeneralAntilles | I'm just wondering why Tegra is enjoying this weird position. | 22:51 |
GeneralAntilles | When it hasn't even shipped. | 22:51 |
johnx | GeneralAntilles, it gets not-very-technical users attention. doesn't make them fanbois...just easily impressed | 22:51 |
johnx | it's a brand recognition thing | 22:51 |
johnx | same idea behind ferarri (sp?) laptops | 22:52 |

lcuk | wazd, my happy day is when everyone gets the design that pleases them the most :) | 23:03 |
Stskeeps | wazd: design which could employ tricks like lcuks zooming could be interesting too | 23:03 |
lcuk | like with your calculators, people have personal favorites - give them a quick selection of them and a way to change quickly and you just made many more people happy than just one specific fixed design | 23:04 |

Stskeeps | RTComm, - that is a framework, not UI, right_ | 23:22 |
Stskeeps | ? | 23:22 |
wazd | ok, http://s53.radikal.ru/i141/0902/a1/0a712e736a9f.png | 23:23 |
wazd | Now I'll try to describe this crap) | 23:23 |
Stskeeps | i presume this is the 480x640 one :) | 23:24 |
wazd | "Tasks" row is made for narrow screens/portrait orientations | 23:24 |
wazd | Stskeeps: basicaly it can scale to any res | 23:24 |
wazd | Taskswitcher now covers all space he has, but with "max-width of the element". In other words like desktop one | 23:25 |
*** lpotter_ has quit IRC | 23:25 | |
wazd | So it hides titles if it hasn't space for them | 23:26 |
RST38h | wazd: I really like the b/w icons | 23:26 |
RST38h | wazd: would be nice to have a theme like this for existing hildon =) | 23:26 |
wazd | "task" word is a button itself - shows guess what | 23:26 |
RST38h | but the horizontal task bar really sucks =( | 23:27 |
Stskeeps | wazd: how would you be using widgets in this setting, btw? | 23:27 |
*** Jucato has quit IRC | 23:27 | |
RST38h | wazd: Can I suggest something? | 23:27 |
*** Mek has quit IRC | 23:27 | |
wazd | Stskeeps: It's Mer menu | 23:27 |
Stskeeps | wazd: ah, kinda like home screen | 23:27 |
*** Mek has joined #maemo | 23:27 | |
wazd | RST38h: no you cant!11 xD | 23:27 |
RST38h | grrrhh | 23:27 |
wazd | RST38h: sure | 23:28 |
RST38h | wazd: Anyways, make task bar drop down and replace the Favorites/Apps/Settings/All strip | 23:28 |
wazd | Stskeeps: I even mde Mer slightly highlited :P | 23:28 |
Stskeeps | wazd: the X better not be like Windows Mobile X, as in, it minimizing, not closing.. :P | 23:28 |
RST38h | i.e. on the left, you can either have a column of these menu icons OR a column of running task icons | 23:28 |
wazd | Stskeeps: no, x acts as normal x :) | 23:29 |
RST38h | this may actually work because you do not need to switch between these two bars too often | 23:29 |
Stskeeps | wazd: so, how do i minimize? :> | 23:29 |
RST38h | once you start the apps you need, you just switch between them | 23:29 |
Stskeeps | task switcher? | 23:29 |
wazd | Stskeeps: just switch to the other task) | 23:29 |
Stskeeps | k | 23:29 |
wazd | Aw I've forgot to add home icon( | 23:29 |
Stskeeps | wasn't that the mer logo? | 23:29 |
wazd | Mer logo launches mer menu :) | 23:30 |
Stskeeps | ah | 23:30 |
wazd | So | 23:30 |
Stskeeps | wazd: the task switcher item with the app, if tapped and it is already on the app, could show menu too maybe | 23:30 |
Stskeeps | .. dunno | 23:30 |
Stskeeps | wazd: i like it, btw, just trying to make some kind of constructive statement :) | 23:31 |
wazd | Spaces between icons are adjustable. Maybe it's good to make profiles such as "portrait" or "desktop" | 23:32 |
*** misol has joined #maemo | 23:32 | |
wazd | RST38h: hm\ | 23:32 |
wazd | RST38h: you mean that "two icons" taskbar or large in mermenu? | 23:33 |
wazd | Stskeeps: Could show what menu?) | 23:33 |
Stskeeps | wazd: application menu | 23:34 |
Stskeeps | you know, file, edit, etc | 23:34 |
*** Pradeeptk has quit IRC | 23:34 | |
Stskeeps | wazd: so the screenshot with the application menu is what comes out when you press the mer logo, i guess_ | 23:35 |
wazd | Stskeeps: Well, maybe, but we can't remove that dedicated button cause what will user do if the icon is hidden in overflow?) | 23:35 |
Stskeeps | application menu = list of applications to launch | 23:35 |
wazd | Stskeeps: yep | 23:35 |
Stskeeps | and you would have 'home' as a task too | 23:35 |
wazd | Stskeeps: I'm not sure where to place it | 23:36 |
Stskeeps | is Tasks always visible? | 23:36 |
wazd | Stskeeps: kind of) | 23:36 |
Stskeeps | like, even when applications are running | 23:36 |
Stskeeps | alright | 23:36 |
wazd | So, tapping "tasks" will show you all aplications in a list (as maemo ones) | 23:38 |
RST38h | wazd: no, I mean the horizontal task bar you have got is a bad idea | 23:38 |
RST38h | wazd: it takes very valuable horizontal space and does not fit too many tasks anyway | 23:38 |
Stskeeps | wazd: maybe button bar with 'Tasks | Home' like on nokia phones? dunno | 23:38 |
*** chenca has quit IRC | 23:38 | |
RST38h | wazd: So, instead of that, remove the horizontal task bar, leave the "Tasks" button where it is, and make this button flip the left vertical bar between menu icons and task icons | 23:39 |
wazd | And if you have multiple windows icon (like browser for example) and you click it - you will see list of windows | 23:40 |
wazd | RST38h: too many clicks to switch I think | 23:40 |
*** b-man has joined #maemo | 23:40 | |
RST38h | wazd: yes, but think of the usage | 23:41 |
wazd | Stskeeps: good idea | 23:41 |
RST38h | wazd: You would normally start the apps you need, then switch between them | 23:41 |
RST38h | wazd: Once you start needed apps, you no longer need the menu icons | 23:41 |
RST38h | wazd: so, this "flip" does not happen too often in practice | 23:41 |
wazd | Right now I'm wasting vertical space btw, not horizonal :) | 23:41 |
RST38h | you are, correct | 23:42 |
Stskeeps | wazd: for next layout try a homescreen, with phone related widgets and other useful ones. maybe the top bar and button bar sliding up when idle | 23:48 |
Stskeeps | button=bottom | 23:48 |
Stskeeps | and reactivated with activity | 23:48 |
wazd | Stskeeps: oh) | 23:49 |
Stskeeps | try=maybe try;) | 23:49 |
wazd | Stskeeps: can I design blackjack and whores? xD | 23:49 |
Stskeeps | yessir | 23:49 |
Stskeeps | stripper widget | 23:49 |
wazd | RST38h: I think in your case it's better to just get rid of that row and return to previous switcher variant (simple button in a left row, calling maemo-like list | 23:50 |
Stskeeps | multiple home screens sounds interesting too | 23:51 |
