IRC log of #maemo for Sunday, 2009-03-08

Stskeepswe have a .. homemade builder infrastructure which is basically an amateurish pbuilder and a scratchbox builder00:00
*** hannesw has quit IRC00:01
lbtwould it be a good idea to start moving to a more scalable thing like mamona/oe? or isn't that a useful discussion yet?00:01
lbtwhen I last used oe I typed 'oe build' and a few days later got a full distro - kinda like gentoo but grown-up :)00:01
lbtanyhoo - my virtualbox only just booted so it's a bit premature.. <grin>00:03
Stskeepsyeah, well, we are closer to debian for the fact most of maemo is debian package based :)00:03
Stskeepsso, that's just a choice00:03
Stskeepsgentoo has some advantages and debian has some, so00:03
Stskeepsand i would say debian packages and building them is quite scalable :P00:04
lbtyeah - I'm just being confused about usind the oe buildsystem to build a set of debian packages - not sure it makes sense or even does that00:04
lbtignore me for a bit whilst I get my head round things :)00:04
Stskeepshehe00:04
RST38hIs it true that GIMP does not let users draw rectangles, circles etc? I cannot find these anywhere in the menus00:06
StskeepsRST38h: the GNU hive mind does not believe in rectangles and circles00:07
lbtRST38h: select a circle/elipse00:08
lbtclick select-to-path00:08
lbtstroke-path00:08
lbtit's just too powerful for the mortal mind00:08
lbthowever inkscape is pretty damned hot too if you want mere geometry00:09
lbt(witness the awesome Shopper logo!)00:10

RST38hlbt: Ah! Thanks!00:13
RST38hSts: lbt is right - this thing is way too powerful to be usable00:13
lbtoops - Mer captured my mouse00:13
lbtonce you get used to how it works it's very nice :)00:14
woglindehi rst00:14
lbtbut for 'drawing'...00:14
lbthave you tried Xara?00:14
*** lopz has quit IRC00:16
GAN800lbt, no N810, no rotation atm.00:16
lbtGAN800: OK - I need more testers then ;)00:16
StskeepsGAN800: poll, SSU, possible raging fit, btw..00:16
dick-richardsoncan I talk someone into running ls -lha in ~/ and telling me what the symlink is? I removed mine and would like it back.00:18
*** housetier has quit IRC00:19
GAN800Stskeeps, raging fit?00:19
StskeepsGAN800: well, ok, maybe a bit exagratted :) but sounds a bit like no more SSUs?00:20
Stskeeps(sp)00:20
lbtdick-richardson: ?00:20
GAN800Stskeeps, yeah, well, I'm launching a frontal assault on Nokia HQ, so they better watch the fuck out.00:21
lbtGAN800: anything to do with the rotation bug comments... ?00:21
dick-richardsonlbt, there's a symlink in user's home directory that affects UI (hiding the mouse pointer, etc.)...I removed mine for some reason weeks ago and would like it back00:21
lbt.icons -> /usr/share/user-icons is the only symlink I have there00:22
StskeepsGAN800: mm00:22
dick-richardsonthat's the one. :)00:22
* Stskeeps goes back to hn-app-switcher.c and hn-app-button.c00:22
lbt:)00:23
dick-richardsonyou're good people, lbt00:23
lbtwe aim to please00:23
dick-richardsoncan I get the owner and permissions on it?00:23
lbtonly if you promise to download Shopper and test it for me!00:23
dick-richardsonfair enough00:23
lbtsymlinks don't have owner/perms00:24
lbtso root/root is OK00:24
lbtand they appear as lrwxrwxrwx00:24
lbt(AFAIUI)00:24
dick-richardson:) you gotta link to shopper?00:25
*** leafy2k9 has quit IRC00:25
GAN800Seriously, Stskeeps, we didn't go through all that categories bullshit to have Nokia assrape us like this.00:25
lbtas it happens...   http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/shopper/00:25
lbtyou need extras-devel though00:25
lbtfor Qt00:25
dick-richardsonalready got it00:25
lbtcool ;)00:26
lbtGAN800: where are you getting this?00:26
*** rsalveti has joined #maemo00:26
GAN800lbt, Mara said no more SSU's.00:27
lbtwhere? - just looking for the source to save you repeating it :)00:27
GAN800Which means no new package categories for Diablo, which means I'm going to start killing people.00:28
GAN800lbt, itT.00:28
lbtOK00:28
StskeepsGAN800: mm, nothing i was directly involved in, but it is the danger of vendor-controlled OS'es00:28
* GAN800 is too lazy to open the browser and copy/paste the URL on a tablet.00:28
lbt's OK00:28
lbtI just dl'ed Mer....00:29
GAN800Stskeeps, doesn't matter, they're still getting hell for it.00:29
lbt(those statements were not connected BTW)00:29
Stskeepslbt: http://internettablettalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=27348&highlight=ssu00:29
*** rsalveti has quit IRC00:29
GAN800Seriously, it's not like they didn't have time to integrate it and it's not like we didn't do all they goddamn work.00:30
GAN800They are __NOT__ going to fragment us like this because they're too lazy to ship one more goddamn update.00:31
lbtI could point out that there's a major credit crunch on at the moment and this  could not be the best timing on either side...00:31
lbtI do hear what you say though00:32
GAN800lbt, not flying here. :)00:33
*** rsalveti has joined #maemo00:33
lbtit may (or may not be) a factor00:33
dick-richardsoncouldn't that work be applied in rx-<next_version_to_be_released_with_new_hardware>?00:33
lbtif it supports N8x0 ?00:34
dick-richardsonwell, yeah00:34
dick-richardsonor in the back-ported version that is00:35
lbtsomeone was on earlier trying to run my apps on her N77000:35
dick-richardsonor is Mer it?00:35

jaemb-man_ubuntu: did you come to any conclusions about why the Ubuntu ts calibration was off for me?05:51
jaemI can't really give it another try until after exams (Friday)05:52
b-man_ubuntui think it is the tslib package, when i installed it i had the same problem05:53
jaemthe tslib package from where?05:53
b-man_ubuntuubuntu-n8x0 repo05:54
jaemokay05:54
jaemI'm looking forward to checking it out again - I might give neatojones' E17 packages a spin05:54
b-man_ubuntui'd just remove it ;)05:54
b-man_ubuntu:)05:54
jaemI'm not normally a fan of E17, but Illume looks like it's worth trying05:54
jaemthe sliding "shelves' (or whatever they're called) reminded me of an MID mockup I saw a while back05:55
*** christefano has joined #maemo05:55
b-man_ubuntuit looks really awsome :D05:55
jaemit was a widescreen form factor, but probably half again as wide as the N8x0, and it has a split keyboard on the two sides05:55
jaemthat presumably slid out when you tapped something05:56

b-man_ubuntuheh06:31
*** b-man_ubuntu is now known as b-ubuntu06:32
jaemalso, the build style indicates that it was likely made by the same company that made one of my flash drives... the one that now is a PCB wrapped in duct tape >_<06:32
jaemShadowJK: what about it?06:32
ShadowJKIf linux, "hciconfig hci0 version", and paste the Manufacturer line :)06:32

jaemI wasn't sure what you were getting at06:33
ShadowJKwhich is the manufacturer of the radio, not the guys who soldered it to a pcb and slapped plastic around it :)06:33

jaemmy mistake (wasn't thinking)06:35
jaemthe MAC is actually 11:11:11:11:11:1106:35
jaemthat's what I meant to say06:36
ShadowJKI bet it's ISSC06:36
jaem        Manufacturer: CONWISE Technology Corporation Ltd (66)06:36
ShadowJKI've never had the misfortune of encountering that before :)06:36
jaemhehe06:36
ShadowJK66? That means there are atleast 65 manufacturers producing utter crap bluetooth chips :-(06:36
jaemI took a gamble, since I wanted one right then, and I didn't know of anything else I could get that day that could be guaranteed to work with Linux06:37
jaemthe guy at the booth said he'd be back the next day, if I wanted to return it06:37
jaemit was some weeks later that I found out that they always say that, usually when they won't be back for weeks.06:37
ShadowJK:)06:38
ShadowJKI think they all work in Linux06:38
jaemAlso, if you look at something, and then ask if they'll be back tomorrow after you've thought about it, they insist that it's the last day they'll be there06:38
jaemas I said... sketchy06:38
hugo33When did sketchy stop meaning 'vague' and become 'of ill repute'?06:38
*** christefano has quit IRC06:39
jaemnot sure :P06:39

ShadowJKI have 4 bluetooth dongles... I was surprised the first time I tried to use one with windows XP. Only one of them worked :)06:39

jaemShadowJK: know anything about RFCOMM?06:39
ShadowJK2 wasn't recognized, 1 kinda worked, but connections always broke after 5 seconds06:40
ShadowJKI have a setup with BlueZ 3.x06:40
ShadowJKin BlueZ 4.x they made the bluetooth api incompatible with their own tools, you're supposed to do dbus incantations through interactive python shell or something.06:41

*** fnordianslipeee has quit IRC06:49
jaembut it's still not bad06:49
ShadowJKThey themselves speculate $50 on volume06:49
ShadowJKI am guessing this means if you order 10,000 you might get them at $50 each :)06:49
jaemwell, get on it! :D06:50
jaemthis calls for a pyramid scheme!06:50
jaem>_<06:50
ShadowJKdunno, the cute formfactor, not too crappy cpu power, and a comfortable .5 gig of ram for 9906:51
ShadowJKdoesn't sound expensive to me06:51
*** pdz has joined #maemo06:51

jaemI agree06:51

Stskeepsyeah, true11:57

mavhcwhy is everyone ditching the sidebar? it makes the aspect ratio of a full screen video approx the same as a windowed one11:57
Stskeepsmavhc: web browsing probably11:58
mavhcsuppose if browsing becomes less painful I'd use it more11:58
Stskeepsi understood after webkit eal that browsing could be quite less painful11:59
konttori_well, also, considering that the left bar is total waste of space to begin with.11:59
konttori_it's like windows would have the start menu open all the time on your desktop11:59
mavhcit's a task switcher, not a start menu11:59
konttori_it serves both purposes12:00
Stskeepskonttori_: we're experimenting a bit in mer these days: http://www.daimi.au.dk/~cvm/mer-hmm.png , - think we safely can make some of the icons bigger though :P12:00
konttori_Left bar might make it easier to start / switch an app, but considering the time to do those vs. using the app, it's obvious that the left bar takes proportionally too much space vs the usefullness of it.12:00
konttori_those top icons look just nicely usable as they are12:01
konttori_imho12:01

Stskeepsyeah :P12:09
thopiekarmorning12:09
mavhcthe hack would be to not close it right away, give the user 10 second to unclose, but that's probably more annoying12:09
Stskeepson the other hand, it could be useful that X was actually not a direct message to the window, but to the app switcher so if the app switcher failed to close it, it would kill it (after asking you)12:10

konttori_lcuk: the biggest improvement of opengl on every operation that you could do on software is sub pixel accuracy.12:32
konttori_not that big a thing perhaps on such high dpi devices as maemo has, but still. Anyway, of course, opengl also offers so much more that you cannot do on software at all12:33

JaffaBut I'm about to lay down a wad of cash on a new fitted study (sold the sofa bed on ebay, and the current office furniture's looking hopeful) so it'd have to be a dirt cheap tablet for knocking around with.12:40
lcuki got this one from ebay for £280 i got to view it first12:40
* konttori_ is really interested in seeing that will there actually be a significant device base spawning from the existence of beagleboard. The idea from TI to create it was a really good one. But intel with the atom and nvidia with the atom + nvidia integrated, sounds just about the perfect processor for touch book type of devices. 12:41
*** zorrolero has quit IRC12:41
konttori_as, the power consuption of the display is so high on bigger display sizes, that the advantage of omap 3 vs. the lowest version of atom is not that big anymore. especially against underclocked atoms12:42

lcuk800mhz has so much headroom!12:42
Stskeepshttp://www.daimi.au.dk/~cvm/mer-xmenu.png  , x is grossly misplaced, but..12:43
lcukkonttori_, you mention doin theme maker in ogl on the device - how about your ukmp, hows that looking or have you not considered converting yet12:46
konttori_lcuk: I haven't been working on ukmp for fremantle at all12:47
konttori_the diablo version (on my development branch) is much better now though.12:48
konttori_I could publish that.12:48
lcukyou mustv had some thoughts of your own though: what would you like to do with it that you cannot now12:48
konttori_Also, one of the reasons for postponing the work on ukmp is that I have wanted to have tracker in place before doing anything to ukmp.12:48
konttori_also, I could seriously see myself as writing that now with either qgraphicsview or with clutter.12:49
JaffaStskeeps: I like that idea; especially if instead of an "X" it becomes some other symbol (one for wazd perhaps)12:49
StskeepsFAQ: "Where did my X go?"12:50
lcuk"she is currently located in your best friends bed"12:50
JaffaHmm, would keeping it as "X" be that bad? My initial thought was yes, but perhaps not.12:50
Stskeepsjust as long as it's not the Window Mobile "x"12:51
Stskeeps+s12:51
lcukkonttori_, is there python bindings for either clutter or qt now then, or have you changed language/12:52
konttori_lcuk: well, most of those ideas about what I could do with opengl revolve around moving items on the view, rotating them on the fly and doing fancy transitions between views.12:52
konttori_clutter has python bindings.12:52
lcuki thought rotation was os level so the app doesnt need to play with that?12:53
konttori_my preferred language still remains python (or javascript), otoh, I have done some c++ coding on qt now as well.12:53
*** Meiz_webirk has joined #maemo12:53
lcukare the clutter bindings cross platform?12:53
konttori_vala is my preferred language if I needed to write something to serve as a daemon type component on the platform12:53
konttori_lcuk: afaik they are12:54
lcukcool12:54
konttori_so, you can write the app on your desktop with clutter on python and then just copy the python files to the device and it will just work,12:54
lcuki thought vala was usable to make gtk objective as well12:54
* lcuk would prefer to write the other way round12:54
konttori_sure. it's really nice for any glib based stuff really12:54
lcuktheres nothing worse than getting to a device and finding out its too fat12:55
konttori_I just happen to believe that UIs should be written on script / interpreted languages.12:55
konttori_as they will be so much better in handling error situations than compiled languages.12:55
lcukwith good libraries behind the glue code doesnt have to be rapid :)12:55
Stskeepsi might believe that for higher end devices but after seeing openmoko ..12:55
konttori_Stskeeps: what about openmoko?12:56

yergamorning12:58
lcukStskeeps, it might be in python but its calling into gtk stuffs12:58
lcukpython isnt so bad at specific library wrangling12:58
lcukhowever i was looking at some pybookreader thing - its rendering is as quick as it can be and autoscrolls (with tearing) but loading a book takes 20x longer than required12:59
konttori_lcuk: It would be so great to have psyco running on arm13:00
* konttori_ tested it on i386 a few times and just two lines of code make python so much faster for any in-pythong calculations.13:00
lcukwhats missing from it that it doesnt work13:01
konttori_lcuk: it is a form of JIT and would need to be re-written to do it for arm13:01
konttori_a lot of work really13:02
lcukhas anyone tried? its just in c from what i can see13:02

qwerty12(qwerty rules, but I'm biased)21:11
lcukGeneralAntilles, i would agree with that screenshot apart from i dont see why it cant be dynamic, the tab with the title *should* be able to go that small, but if a user only has a few applets it hurts no1 to show the title in a more enlarged title tab21:11
StskeepsGeneralAntilles: Mer is/was supposed to be the research OS to make community have a stronger voice :P21:11
GeneralAntilleslcuk, except for then developers will assume they have that much title space to play with.21:12

GeneralAntillesStskeeps, alternatively: the Fremantle backport.21:12

lcukis mer a fremantle backport or is it a community implementation which can work on current and future devices?  i thought it was the latter and there will be things mer cannot do which means it may be distinct.  unless of course nokia got onboard and actively tried to help to make mer the core for now and future21:15
Stskeepslcuk: there's interesting conflicts between what it is :P21:15
Stskeepsif mer was a fremantle backport, as in, adjusting fremantle packages to run on n8x0, i wouldn't work on it21:16

GeneralAntillesb-man, we have OMAP2430 stuff that we can't even use.23:08
lcukb-man, technicaly there might be some parallels but it would be very difficult to find23:08
b-manhmmm23:08
lcukgan there is more chance of using the series 3 stuff to be honest, all we have for the 2430 is a binary23:09
lcukthe series 3 api should eb documented etc23:09

lcukher words when i said look for shopper in the applicaiton list were "show shopper?"23:13
GeneralAntilleslbt, problem is, those criticisms are all wrapped up in bad attitude.23:13

GeneralAntillesQt seems to result in overlarge taskbar icons.23:14
lbtI fiddled and 0.5.6 is much nicer23:14
lbtand it does portrait23:15
lbtwhich is *REALLY* good :D23:15
lbtReally goof23:15

lcuk"but the nokia said i needed them"23:27
lbtheh - wait 'til you see the next default shopping list....23:28
lbtoh, that's going to cost...23:28
lcukwe have already spoken about a food timer app, she currently sets about 10 alarms spread over the 2 hours needed to cook sunday lunch, would be easier if she had a simple way to do it23:29
lcuk^note, she uses her nokia phone for this manually23:29
lcukand spends at least 10 minutes preparing it23:29
lbtheh - that's a good idea23:30

lcukyes gan, i saw it - but thats a single timer, tracy sets loads23:31

lcukdavid, how heavy weight would it be to add photograph stuff for shopper23:32

*** bilboed has quit IRC23:34
lbtI am interested in that kind of thing23:41
lbtTBH, my next step was to link into the GPS so it would pull up the right list as you approached the shop23:42
lcukdepending on the machine that wont always work, normally you will only need a few things, just give a big easy hit filter with the 3 or 4 shops you normally hit23:43
lbtyes23:43
lcukbut also, dont you sometimes make a paper list and try asda, then tescos for the remains23:43
lbtthis is more sainsbury vs tesco23:43
lbtoh, something just crossed my mind23:43

lcuki cant run rotated yet, i need to file a real bug about it23:45
lbtso if Nokia add rotation to Diablo then that's the kind of bug I think they're worried about23:45
lbtcan liqbase run on a kernel with rotate though?23:45
lcukadd rotation anywhere23:45
