IRC log of #maemo for Saturday, 2009-07-18

JaffaThere've been lots of Chinese names on maemo-* recently.00:00
JaffaIt could be legally licensed; Nokia aren't going to tell us (although there's no press release)00:00
qwerty12_N810They have a repo for the clones: http://www.woojoy.com/repository/pool/free/00:01
milhousecould make long-term OS support interesting - not so easy to EOL a version due to a Nokia hardware change if other manufacturers are supporting the platform00:01
*** halves has quit IRC00:01
JaffaWould be good to get them involved in Mer, then they can have what they've got legally.00:01
Jaffamilhouse: Indeed. Last word on it at OSiM from Ari Jaaksi was that they weren't interested in licencing Maemo00:01
milhouseI'm beginning to wonder if there is space for so many mobile operating systems00:01
milhouseiPhone, Symbian, Android, WebOS, Maemo, Mer... can they all survive?00:02
milhouseWin Mob... I've probably forgotten one or two more as well00:02
javispedrodunno coldboot, mines clearly say  --host=i386-linux --target=arm-none-linux-gnueabi00:02
Jaffamilhouse: OpenMoko, all the proprietary SE & Motorola & ... OSes00:03
coldbootjavispedro: So mine is the wrong version, it's not a cross-compiler...00:03
RST38hJaffa: I seem to remember that you could use "native" tools or "host" tools00:03
milhouseJaffa: Ah yes, although SE seem to be heading down the Android route, and are Motorola still in the game?00:04
RST38hJaffa: But I also remember SB2 guys turning off "host" tools option00:04
JaffaRST38h: Really? Blimey. (I did caveat my original stmt with sb1 ;-))00:04
Jaffamilhouse: Goodness knows. Last few phones have been low-level Linux based, FWIW.00:05
javispedroit _should_ use host tools, at least maemo sdk 2 promoted that you could install newer versions of "Host tools" with less effort than in sb100:05
*** chaoyi_ has quit IRC00:05
*** joelmaher_ has joined #maemo00:05
Jaffajavispedro: Given the pain with using the "official" Maemo SDK, I've never thought it worth the effort to suffer /more/ pain for an unofficial SDK based on sb2...00:06
javispedroI'm yet to experience that "pain" :)00:06
coldbootjavispedro: So I can install tools and toolchains.00:06
milhouseThis Chinese Optima device is using a Marvell PXA320 processor... if they can get Fremantle running on this thing it might go a long way to solving the problems getting Fremantle to run on N8x000:06
milhouse(maybe)00:06
coldbootjavispedro: For tools I get etch, etch-2008, lenny-2009-100:07
Jaffamilhouse: What problems getting Fremantle running on the N8x0? Mer already has most of it running on a 770.00:07
coldbootjavispedro: For toolchain I get: arm-2005q3, arm-2007q3, i386-2007q300:07
milhouseJaffa: Based on what Nokia have said - I don't know if the problems are real or marketing bs00:08
javispedroI'm using etch-2008 and the 2007-q3... but on sb1, so I don't really know what to suggest ...00:08
milhousemarketing bs as in "prematurely end of life a bunch of devices so that the suckers will go out and buy the new kit"00:08
Jaffamilhouse: Nokia aren't backporting Fremantle because of wanting to use Clutter & effects to define the look of Fremantle: no accelerated 3D on N8x0 and slower CPU make that "real"00:09
milhouseJaffa: Fair enough - I guess the Chinese guys will have designed a reasonable 3D engine into their PXA320 device00:10
*** pablo_ has joined #maemo00:10
milhouseJaffa: which might make Fremantle feasible00:10
javispedroand I'm sure whatever drivers they get will be of superior quality than whatever driver we may get ;)00:10
Jaffajavispedro: No sb1 pain? Wow.00:11
*** alehorst has quit IRC00:11
javispedroJaffa, I'm intrigued. What did you hate about sb1?00:11
qwerty12_N810milhouse: They're using chinook - I don't think they're concerned about updates...00:11
milhouseqwerty: haha00:12
Jaffajavispedro: It's probably more Nokia's use of it than the tool. The multiple install steps; the lack of quality in the SDK (all the warnings on starting af-sb-init.sh, for example; no clean upgrade path; no consideration for easily installing rootstraps into existing installs (e.g. having diablo & fremantle: works; but instructions not good); having to upgrade sb when upgrading SDK - blurred lines)00:13
javispedrook :P00:14
JaffaWhat else, massive disk space use; poor x86-64 support; no Mac support so limits developers to x86 Linux users; ...00:14
JaffaI could go on ;-)00:14
javispedroI myself just get latest Apophis00:14
javispedrothen install it on vmware since I'm not going to disable vdso ;)00:14
JaffaYeah, the instructions don't make it clear what turning off vdso will do00:15
javispedroapart from destroy any hope for performance you had on your workstation, dunno :D00:15
coldbootjavispedro: I don't get it, I set my toolchain to the arm one, when the arm rootstrap was set.00:16
Jaffajavispedro: Yeah, but NOkia don't tell you that00:16
coldbootjavispedro: It says that the target is arm, and the compiler is i486, but gcc -v says the same thing, and compiling is extremely slow.00:17
*** victorpoluceno has quit IRC00:17
*** geaaru has quit IRC00:17
javispedrocoldboot, may it be that's just sb2 usual slowness?00:17
javispedroit is a known "to do" afaik00:18
coldbootjavispedro: It's only for arm, it's orders of magnitude slower than i386.00:18
RST38h32fps00:19
javispedroguess what? try to compile anything, and then ps ax  to see if there's some qemu-user loaded00:19
* RST38h once again wins, ARM and its weak memory performance lose00:19
coldbootjavispedro: 32235 pts/4    S+     0:00 /usr/bin/sb2-qemu-arm -U LD_PRELOAD -L / -0 g++ /usr/bin/g++00:20
javispedrothere you have :D now try to guess why it's doing that00:20
*** rkirti is now known as rkirti|zZz00:21
*** joelmaher has quit IRC00:21
coldbootjavispedro: I don't know if that's the host arm compiler compiling to arm, or the host i386 compiler.00:21
javispedrothat's the arm emulated compiler00:22
coldbootWhat would the host i386 to arm compiler look like?00:22
javispedrofor a start, it will not begin with "sb2-qemu-arm"00:23
*** mandara has quit IRC00:23
*** chenca has quit IRC00:24
coldbootDo all invocations get intercepted and run by sb2-qemu-arm unless they're gcc, when everything's working right?00:24
* slonopotamus just builds on tablet without any pain00:25
* RST38h asks the Tentacled One to give his ARM two more registers00:26
javispedrocoldboot, sb2-qemu-arm intercepts all armel binaries trying to be exec'd using binfmt00:26
javispedronot only gcc00:26
Jaffajavispedro: We should get a really lightweight image together which runs enough to export NFS/SSHFS with a recent Scratchbox. Then installation becomes: get Scratchbox image, install preferred rootstraps and cross-mount filesystems.00:27
JaffaAlthough once Rover's released, I think I'll do more on-device building (lots of disk, faster processor)00:27
javispedroI am currently doing just that :D00:28
coldbootjavispedro: And what's supposed to happen when gcc gets run?00:28
coldbootjavispedro: Since it's supposed to run an i386 executable.00:28
javispedromutual nfs : host mounts vmware, vmware mounts host: I can modify scratchbox's rootstraps from host, scratchbox's home is host's00:28
Jaffajavispedro: I'm imagining an image with no X or anything. If you've got a really lightweight starting point, I'd love to see it00:28
Jaffajavispedro: Sounds good00:28
javispedroI cannot get more "out of the box" than hat00:28

javispedrodarn typos ;)00:29
*** hellwolf has quit IRC00:29
JaffaThe "Maemo Development Appliance" approach appeared sensible but: a) it provides a second desktop; I want to use my own; b) distributing Nokia's SDK is shaky and more work.00:29
javispedroJaffa, unfortunately minimal build-capable Debian is around ~1GiB00:30
JaffaHmm.00:30
javispedrobut will easily fill up to ~3 Gib (not really sure if minimal is enough)00:31
* Jaffa wonders about Ubuntu JeOS would be better00:31
javispedrothen each rootstrap is around ~0.5GiB00:31
* Jaffa imagines: provide Scratchbox image and tools available for download; and instructions for installing the various rootstraps.00:32

javispedrothis is the problem with Java: the BIG-optimized OpenJDK has nearly 30MiB footprint.00:38
javispedrothe jalimo team has done a pretty good job, with less than 15MiB00:39
ds3do you really want full java vs J2ME stuff?00:39
Jaffajavispedro: Seen the work Sun's doing with Project Jigsaw and the Java SE Embedded work00:39
* Jaffa wants full Java.00:40
* javispedro wants full Java too.00:40
* lbt wants perl00:40

javispedroso what? remove it and format using whatever computer you like01:39
*** skibur has joined #maemo01:39
daniel32708i got no sdhc in my other memory card readers01:39
javispedrothen use usb cable01:40
javispedrobut remember to reboot/power off instead of just unplugging if you modify the partition table01:40
daniel32708i did, but my pc doesnt let me mount it01:40

*** danilocesar has quit IRC01:42
daniel32708ok, gparted in my pc found it... ill try formatting there01:42
daniel32708but still it would be cool to have gparted in the maemo hehe01:42
ShadowJKThere's parted in the repos, though that's not gparted.01:43
daniel32708what formats can the n810 read?  only  fats?   or can it use ext2,3 or 4?01:43
daniel32708foe the external sd that is01:43
daniel32708shadow: thx!01:43
*** blade_runner has quit IRC01:44

ShadowJKMake sure you're not wiping your harddrive.01:45
daniel32708but can it read the memory card if i format it as an ext2,3 or 4?01:45
daniel32708or only fatts?01:45
ShadowJKI think it can do ext2 atleast01:45
ShadowJKIt takes about 2 minutes to find out..01:46

chxplease tell me what other device is there that can be had under 300 bucks delivered with a 4" 800x480 res  screen that runs Linux04:51
chxI am not picky about the flavor of Linux.04:51
Luke-Jrchx: SmartQ 704:52

chxalso? isnt the SmartQ some noname chinese product?04:53
chxI am wary04:53
Luke-Jrbetter than a bad-name american product04:53
chxHaving the N810 on me is sometimes mission critical.04:53
chxAnd for the few weeks I had it , it was pure joy04:53
Luke-Jrchx: you must not use the GPS04:54
chxit runs Skype and ssh and there are many, many characters visible in the SSH window04:54
chxI dont04:54
chxI have a Holux M1200 reciever04:54

chxYou can't beat that receiver if you are walking04:54
Luke-JrI suppose if you don't need the GPS it might be tolerable.04:54
chxno, I dont.04:54
chxno matter what they build in , they cant beat the M1200 anyways, so why bother?04:54
Luke-Jrhaha04:54
Luke-Jrbut does the M1200 run Linux? ;)04:55
chx????04:55
chxit does not run anything04:55
chxit's the size of an usb key04:55

chxwell, that's the only usable chip besides the MTK04:56
chxI only Nokia uses some crap in E90 and N81004:56
chxthat's why i said, why bother?04:57
chxI dont care about the GPS04:57
chxI agree it's a fail.04:57
Luke-JrN810 has a GPS5300 chip04:57
chxSo what?04:57
chxIt's not perfect.04:57
Luke-Jrwhich has potential, if we could get docs04:57
chxAside from the GPS chip, the device rocks.04:57
chxIt's only now that I had it and suffered a week without it I see how hard it rocked.04:57
chxSo I bought another.04:57

Dieterbelbt: oh well, basically I'm looking for a portable (fits in pocket) device which I can do all my personal organizing with (so a hardware keyboard is a good idea), it must have a very open OS (i'm not too fond of android which' userland is only java) so I can run all tools i would run on my normal desktop (perl/c things using libc/python/...) like mplayer, mpd, mutt, vim , urxvt, bash and such11:48
* lbt proposes N810+Mer11:49
Dieterbelbt: oh, and it should also be usable as a phone. that's the problem with nokias n8* stuff11:49
Dieterbeand i would prefer to use a headset (earbugs with microphone), so the size may be a bit bigger then a regular phone as i don't intend to hold it next to my ear much11:50
lbtN900 may well be the one11:50
Dieterbeyeah i think that too11:50
lbtit'll be less open though11:50
lbtand pricey11:50
* lbt wants one11:50
Dieterbeless open?11:51
Dieterbehow's that?11:51
lbtNokia can't/won't open everything11:51
* lbt should say "less open than Mer"11:51
lbtMer is the community effort (with Nokia assistance) to make an open distro for N8x011:52
lbthttp://wiki.maemo.org/Mer11:52
Dieterbewell i don't mind if the device drivers and such are closed11:52

lbtthe idea of a seperate touch UI 'controlling' it12:04
lbtand the idea of uzbl linking to the same DB as the contact mgr12:04

ShadowJKrather than google17:00
gomiamanyway, I must go see some Roman ruins in a bit. Thanks for taking the time to talk it over :)17:00
Macerbut then i asked "why doesn't google maps just download the route so you don't need a data connection all the time?"17:00

gomiam:P17:00

Macerbecause by default it gives you like 1 block at a time or something equally retarded but it isn't much17:01

Maceri expected the zoom to adjust for speed unless you were nearing a turn or something17:02

Macer segment 14: CRC mismatch E173D4E5 != B4DC1CED17:05
Maceri always wondered.. if it knows what it's supposed to be why can't it just change it?17:05

ShadowJKit knows what the sum is supposed to be, but it doesn't know what the individual numbers that make up the sum are supposed to be17:06

derfI mean, this is basically what NASA does for interplanetary communication.17:16
derfThey use codes with a _lot_ of redundancy built in, because the error rate is high.17:16
Macerok.. that is a very specialized reason to do so but i get your point ;)17:17
derfBut this is also what RAID arrays do in configurations with redundancy.17:18
ShadowJKEDGE just sends error codes until receiver says it has enough to reconstruct message :-)17:18
derfE.g., RAID5 uses an entire disk's worth of checksums.17:18
ShadowJKCRC is very inefficient for actually correcting errors though, but it's fast for detecting errors17:19
