| Proteous | the nice thing about tmobile is that you cas | 00:39 |
| woglinde | mrgosse 600 | 00:39 |
| GeneralAntilles | SouBE, OTG provides 100mA of bus power. | 00:39 |
| Proteous | aer can get no contract data for cheap | 00:39 |
| woglinde | MrGoose its the same as in the beagle board | 00:40 |

| woglinde | yeah | 00:41 |
| woglinde | than why asked | 00:41 |
| woglinde | its the same proc | 00:41 |
| MrGoose | but I didnt know that it only came with one ARM Cortex 8 processor | 00:41 |
| GeneralAntilles | Or nearly. | 00:41 |
| GeneralAntilles | It comes with a Cortex A8, a DSP, a GPU and an ISP. | 00:41 |

| javispedro | wiretapped, you say community ogg support sucks, why do you think anything nokia mades will be better? ;) | 01:32 |
| zerojayPC | Probably because the company that made it, Navicore, licensed ogg for the mapping program. | 01:32 |
| timeless_mbp | the third party would have been the one sued | 01:32 |
| timeless_mbp | not nokia | 01:32 |

| GeneralAntilles | Complaints seem to be largely political. | 01:38 |
| zerojayPC | Yeah... like I said, hard to improve something if people don't tell us what the problems are. | 01:38 |
| lardman | perhaps they are unaccustomed to seeing any ARM cpu load while playing music | 01:38 |
| zerojayPC | Or they're just picky bastards. | 01:39 |
| zerojayPC | Which I am as well. lol | 01:39 |
| lardman | well certainly noone stepped up to help me with the DSP port | 01:39 |
| zerojayPC | I would if I could. | 01:39 |
| lardman | not worth it on the C55 tbh, painful debugging, not enough memory and no 8bit type | 01:39 |
| lardman | certainly not worth it if you're not being paid and don't even use ogg ;) | 01:40 |
| GeneralAntilles | Now this is an interesting spec: Maximum User Storage: 32 GB, NAND Memory 768 MB, SDRAM Memory 256 MB. | 01:40 |
| wiretapped | since we're still talking about it... yeah, my complaint is practical as well as political.. but in response to the "theora brings no benefits at all to the table" argument: Wikipedia videos should work out-of-the-box. | 01:40 |
| GeneralAntilles | Are we booting from that 768MB and swap on the 32GB? | 01:40 |
| *** tbf has quit IRC | 01:41 | |
| javispedro | GeneralAntilles, url? | 01:41 |
| simula | how many hours does a running 800 or 810 last? | 01:41 |
| zerojayPC | wiretapped: Is it just the lack of Theora then that's the issue? | 01:41 |
| lardman | wiretapped: well once the hw comes out we'll create a DSP task then | 01:41 |
| javispedro | it's probably it's indeed booting from the 768MiB, and that's the one using UBIFS | 01:41 |
| GeneralAntilles | http://www.forum.nokia.com/devices/N900 | 01:41 |
| * wiretapped would like theora and vorbis | 01:41 | |
| lardman | it would be boring if everything was complete, nothing for us to do :) | 01:41 |
| GeneralAntilles | Under memory. | 01:41 |
| javispedro | lol I should've read that carefullier | 01:41 |
| GeneralAntilles | javispedro, I hadn't realized somebody was making a 1GB PoP. | 01:42 |
| zerojayPC | wiretapped: You just got done telling us that ogg support on the older tablets suck... is there anything else other than the lack of theora that made it suck? | 01:42 |
| wiretapped | cpu load. | 01:42 |
| zerojayPC | And the tags in media player not being read. | 01:42 |
| wazd | btw, looks like n900 will be shipped earlier than Pandora :D | 01:42 |
| lardman | GeneralAntilles: 3/4Gb or NAND? | 01:42 |
| wiretapped | and metadata | 01:42 |
| zerojayPC | And that's it? | 01:42 |
| lardman | s/3/4/0.75 | 01:42 |
| javispedro | PoP? | 01:42 |
| wiretapped | and lack of out-of-box support is bad for the format's adoption | 01:43 |
| lardman | hmm, my whole sentence was all wrong | 01:43 |
| lardman | :) | 01:43 |
| wiretapped | which is the main issue | 01:43 |
| lardman | wiretapped: yes, but Nokia are not here to spread formats | 01:43 |
| GeneralAntilles | lardman, SDRAM and NAND are on the same PoP. | 01:43 |
| wiretapped | right, certainly not ones which threaten ones that make them money | 01:43 |
| wiretapped | anyway | 01:43 |
| lardman | wiretapped: mp3 and avi (xvid/divx) are most popular, so they support those out of the box | 01:43 |
| wiretapped | i'll stfu now | 01:43 |
| GeneralAntilles | javispedro, Package-on-Package. | 01:43 |
| wiretapped | GeneralAntilles: sorry again | 01:43 |
| wiretapped | :( | 01:43 |
| wiretapped | talking in circles here. | 01:44 |
| GeneralAntilles | The storage/RAM chip they slap on top of the OMAP. | 01:44 |
| javispedro | hmm... | 01:44 |
| lardman | GeneralAntilles: means we'll need a 31Gb SD card though :) | 01:44 |
| GeneralAntilles | lardman, for? | 01:44 |
| GeneralAntilles | The eMMC is soldered on the board. | 01:44 |
| lardman | to get up to the maximum of 32Gb max storage | 01:45 |
| GeneralAntilles | Yeah, weird way of phrasing it. | 01:45 |
| GeneralAntilles | That's the eMMC though. | 01:45 |
| lardman | ah, so eMMC can take a max of 32Gb can it? | 01:45 |
| GeneralAntilles | Do they have 32GB MicroSDs yet? | 01:45 |
| javispedro | dunno if the 768MiB is the "virtual memory" they keep talking about or the rootfs | 01:45 |
| GeneralAntilles | 32GB | 01:45 |
| GeneralAntilles | 32Gb is 8GB | 01:45 |
| SpeedEvil | GeneralAntilles: coming soon | 01:46 |
| GeneralAntilles | Er, 4GB. | 01:46 |
| GeneralAntilles | SpeedEvil, ah, thanks. | 01:46 |
| lardman | javispedro: I think there's 1Gb of NAND and 768MB is the swap | 01:46 |
| lardman | up to 768... | 01:46 |
| lardman | anyway, where's my dmesg | 01:46 |
| lardman | ? | 01:46 |
| javispedro | lardman, remember to ask about /proc/mtd when asking for the dmesg ;) | 01:46 |
| * ljp wonders if he will ever get his hands on a rover | 01:46 | |
| lardman | must be an N900 lurking here somewhere | 01:46 |
| GeneralAntilles | javispedro, based on those specs, my suspicion is that the 768MB of NAND is rootfs/kernel | 01:46 |
| GeneralAntilles | Swap is probably on the 32GB. | 01:46 |
| timeless_mbp | GeneralAntilles: the 768mb is a parlor trick | 01:47 |
| lardman | javispedro: add it to the thread in Talk, I think one person has looked at it :) | 01:47 |
| javispedro | agreed, since then swap would be a file in the FAT32 partition | 01:47 |
| timeless_mbp | there are 3 partitions of the big thing | 01:47 |
| GeneralAntilles | What's the status on FATx support in Linux these days? | 01:47 |
| javispedro | no need to confuse windows seeing a swap partition when usb-exporting the card | 01:47 |
| timeless_mbp | ext3, fat32 and swap | 01:47 |
| SunbEEm | well, I have to go eat, but I'll keep this project in mind. I hope the blind can use it, maybe by running Orca. Interesting group. I just know I don't want stupid Windows. | 01:47 |
| lardman | so can apps be installed on the ext3? | 01:47 |
| timeless_mbp | the root file system is ubifs and is closer to 256mb | 01:47 |
| lardman | timeless_mbp: can you hit us with a dmesg? :) | 01:48 |
| GeneralAntilles | Ah, didn't think there were 1GB PoPs. | 01:48 |
| mkpaa | my mplayer/canola youtube/video sound problem seems to persist. videos/sound (@youtube) work fine with browser, but no audio on mplayer/canola and video is playing faster than supposed | 01:48 |
| javispedro | let timeless talk, damnit! | 01:48 |
| timeless_mbp | lardman: i don't think i'm allowed to today | 01:48 |
| GeneralAntilles | lardman, email Quim? | 01:48 |
| javispedro | ;) | 01:48 |

| *** SunbEEm has left #maemo | 01:48 | |

| timeless_mbp | formally information disclosure is limited to what has been announced | 01:48 |
| lardman | timeless_mbp: ok | 01:48 |
| lardman | GeneralAntilles: will do | 01:48 |
| lardman | hmm, not that important anyway really | 01:49 |
| GeneralAntilles | Wont it be fun when people pop SDXC cards into their tablets and they just work? | 01:49 |
| *** zap has quit IRC | 01:49 | |
| javispedro | ah, you were asking for that | 01:49 |
| javispedro | exFAT it's called. | 01:49 |
| GeneralAntilles | Ah, right. | 01:49 |
| javispedro | read-only with an out of tree kernel driver for now. | 01:49 |
| * GeneralAntilles is in 360 mode still. | 01:49 | |
| timeless_mbp | fwiw, we talked about how much effort would be required to have swap in the volume which currently has ubifs | 01:49 |
| timeless_mbp | the estimate is something like 6 months iirc | 01:49 |
| pupnik | are there potentially alternatives to gcc for arm? | 01:49 |
| timeless_mbp | because swap wants a block device, and the root file system is not on a block device | 01:49 |
| timeless_mbp | pupnik: technically yes | 01:50 |
| timeless_mbp | practically, probably not | 01:50 |
| pupnik | kay thx | 01:50 |
| javispedro | I only know the official arm one, it costs both kidneys | 01:50 |
| lardman | some ARM toolchains, they cost though | 01:50 |
| GeneralAntilles | javispedro, be nice if the standards board didn't eat Microsoft bribes for lunch. | 01:50 |
| timeless_mbp | msvc can compile to arm fwiw | 01:50 |
| lardman | elf though? | 01:51 |
| javispedro | GeneralAntilles, some members of that board must be way richer by now | 01:51 |
| javispedro | I don't know how could _that_ happen | 01:51 |
| timeless_mbp | anyway, i have stuff to do.... | 01:52 |
| *** etrunko has quit IRC | 01:52 | |
| zerojay | Go eat. ;) | 01:52 |
| javispedro | pupnik, there's an ongoin llvm arm backend... | 01:52 |
| javispedro | i don't if it's usable or not, but would be interesting | 01:52 |
| pupnik | i was thinking how the intel c compiler used to beat gcc on x86 | 01:53 |
| simula | llvm arm backend... yummy | 01:53 |
| lardman | pupnik: sumbit patches for the arm branch of GCC! | 01:53 |
| javispedro | pupnik, yeah, the gap has been closing lately. | 01:53 |
| pupnik | -fprofile-generate might be good to try | 01:53 |
| pupnik | or whatever that runtime statistics and 2-pass compile is | 01:54 |
| javispedro | first I would try getting a newer cs gcc built | 01:54 |
| timeless_mbp | zerojay: oh, we did that :) | 01:54 |
| pupnik | i had to disable gcc cache for it to work btw | 01:54 |
| javispedro | even though cs2007 results in slower code :S | 01:54 |
| pupnik | hmm? | 01:54 |
| pupnik | cs gcc? | 01:54 |
| javispedro | with drnoksnes I get a 5fps drop | 01:54 |
| javispedro | codesourcery | 01:54 |
| pupnik | ah | 01:55 |
| pupnik | drop with profile-use? | 01:55 |
| javispedro | no, drop with cs2007 | 01:55 |
| pupnik | k | 01:55 |
| javispedro | (vs cs2005, the one I've made all public builds so far) | 01:55 |
| GeneralAntilles | FAT's bad enough, but giving Microsoft the opportunity to put a stranglehold on the portable storage market. . . . | 01:55 |
| javispedro | what's worse is that probably Nokia is paying royalties to MS. | 01:56 |
| javispedro | at this very moment, for FAT32. | 01:56 |
| pupnik | bleh | 01:56 |
| *** L0cMini9 has quit IRC | 01:56 | |
| javispedro | pupnik, I've tried profile-generate but generated executables were crashing here | 01:57 |

| lardman | http://www.forum.nokia.com/devices/N900 max memory card size 16Gb | 01:57 |
| pupnik | ah dosbox crashed for me too with -generate | 01:57 |
| lardman | hmm :) | 01:57 |
| GeneralAntilles | lardman, same as the N810 that can only use 8GB? | 01:57 |
| javispedro | does dosbox contain any arm asm? | 01:57 |
| GeneralAntilles | It's just what they've certified it with. | 01:57 |
| GeneralAntilles | Doesn't have anything at all to do with what it can actually work with. | 01:58 |
| javispedro | (code where gcc cannot put any prologue) | 01:58 |
| pupnik | not the version i tried | 01:58 |
| javispedro | ah, true | 01:58 |
| GeneralAntilles | Assuming you're not using exFAT, cards up to 2TB should work fine out of the box. | 01:58 |
| *** _mxb_ has quit IRC | 01:58 | |
| javispedro | my guess is that with optimized code the uniwinding routine crashes if the timer interrupts in asm code | 01:59 |
| javispedro | but seems that's not the case ... :P | 01:59 |
| lardman | http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=31005&page=12 work from Adobe themselves I assume | 02:01 |

| lardman | nice to see that updates might be forthcoming | 02:01 |
| javispedro | I wouldn't be surprised if they don't. | 02:02 |
| lardman | depends how long the platform lasts and how popular it is | 02:02 |

| timeless_mbp | i'd imagine that fennec will someday include a spell checker | 02:11 |

| timeless_mbp | fwiw, there are some sites that won't work | 02:12 |
| timeless_mbp | you pr0n .... | 02:13 |
| timeless_mbp | since their content is encoded w/ too high of a bitrate iirc | 02:13 |
| timeless_mbp | but youtube works reasonably well | 02:13 |
| timeless_mbp | video is also seeing improvements in transcoding | 02:13 |
| javispedro | it's already known nokia uses pr0n sites for testing, no need to make a fuss ;) | 02:13 |
| mrmcq2u | is it true that after maemo5 there will be a rewrite to qt? | 02:13 |
| woglinde | mrmcq2u yes | 02:14 |
| timeless_mbp | so someday you might be able to use fennec w/ <video> and have an extension which arranges for your content to be transcoded | 02:14 |
| timeless_mbp | mrmcq2u: i'm not sure i'd call it a rewrite | 02:14 |
| simula | the user facing webcam is 640x480 | 02:14 |
| ljp | mrmcq2u: but gtk will still be on the device and community supported | 02:14 |
| mrmcq2u | wont that fragment the work which application developers do with maemo5? | 02:14 |
| lardman | timeless_mbp: fm receiver? as indicated in the defconfig? | 02:15 |
| ljp | no, because application develoeprs will still be able to use gtk | 02:15 |
| timeless_mbp | mrmcq2u: doesn't nokia's use of s20, s40, s60, s80, and maemo fragment its community | 02:15 |
| timeless_mbp | lardman: um | 02:15 |
| mrmcq2u | ljp - so maemo5 apps will work on maemo6? | 02:15 |

| timeless_mbp | i.e. the software stack didn't expose it | 02:18 |
| lardman | yep | 02:18 |
| timeless_mbp | most likely a third party (nokia or otherwise) would provide such things | 02:18 |
| lardman | good good | 02:18 |
| mrmcq2u | or an open equivalent? | 02:18 |

| lardman | timeless_mbp: though curious, assuming it's there ;), that Nokia haven't included that function too | 02:19 |
| timeless_mbp | lardman: marketing tries to emphasize all the features it can | 02:19 |

| * timeless_mbp frowns | 02:23 | |
| timeless_mbp | that isn't the way debian works | 02:23 |
| timeless_mbp | in debian, each version of a platform has different library versions | 02:23 |
| timeless_mbp | and apps are built against them | 02:23 |
| simula | i can always install from source :) | 02:23 |
| timeless_mbp | ideally, the sources will enable you to build against a newer platform | 02:24 |
| simula | build-essentials will be my first install | 02:24 |
| mrmcq2u | are nokia directly competing with the iphone with regards to the n900? | 02:24 |
| mrmcq2u | if so they will need some games :) | 02:24 |

It wasn't the quickest way to do it of course, but it surely doesn't get much better in mobile phone terms." | 02:29 |

N-gage has done a good job at introducing social gaming to the portable market but its a fairly closed implementation. Maybe an open gaming alliance should be for | 02:37 |

| GeneralAntilles | Things are changing very quickly, though. | 05:37 |
| GeneralAntilles | The N900 signals a big shift in the industry, though. | 05:37 |
| SpeedEvil | Hope they think a contract to carry on paying t-mobile is enough. | 05:37 |
| SpeedEvil | The N900 being widely accepted by carriers | 05:37 |
| ArSa | there's only one provider in USA that supports that band, so no need to even lock it down | 05:37 |
| SpeedEvil | ArSa: quadband | 05:38 |
| ArSa | no, i mean data band | 05:38 |
| ArSa | wcdma | 05:38 |
| SpeedEvil | oh | 05:38 |
| SpeedEvil | Hadn't looked at that. | 05:38 |
| ArSa | it will only do 3G on t-mobile, not on at&t | 05:38 |
| GeneralAntilles | Hopefully that changes. | 05:38 |
| GeneralAntilles | I will be so pissed if there's no AT&T 3G. | 05:38 |
| SpeedEvil | At some point the carriers will lose their stranglehold on what hardware is available. | 05:38 |
| ArSa | i don't see that, i don't think there's a quad-band wcdma radio | 05:39 |
| SpeedEvil | Will it be October? | 05:39 |
| ArSa | which is kinda complicated | 05:39 |
| b-man16 | ~seen xnt14 | 05:39 |
| GeneralAntilles | Changing to T-Mobile is a non-starter | 05:39 |
| infobot | xnt14 is currently on #maemo (11h 18m 38s). Has said a total of 34 messages. Is idling for 5h 59m 34s, last said: '*bored'. | 05:39 |
| benson_ | Hi. How can N810 connect to internet using bluetooth via a windows-xp? | 05:39 |
| GeneralAntilles | Two iPhones on the plan I'm on. | 05:39 |
| ArSa | GeneralAntilles i agree | 05:39 |
| GeneralAntilles | Plus, T-Mobile doesn't provide 3G in my area. | 05:39 |
| ArSa | coverage sucks even more than at&t | 05:39 |
| SpeedEvil | t-mobile is actually quite reasonable in the UK. | 05:39 |
| GeneralAntilles | SpeedEvil, the US is not the UK, however. | 05:40 |
| GeneralAntilles | There isn't much land to cover in the UK. | 05:40 |
| SpeedEvil | I'm currently getting GPRS data - when I use it - for a capped pound a day. | 05:40 |
| SpeedEvil | yes, I know. Market conditions and all. | 05:40 |
| ArSa | no, it's distances | 05:40 |
| SpeedEvil | and that. | 05:40 |
| ArSa | that's why cdma kinda works better here | 05:40 |
| *** mrmcq2u1 has joined #maemo | 05:40 | |
| SpeedEvil | more network build for the same coverage. | 05:41 |
| ArSa | there are some relatively populated areas (where i am right now) where there's no gsm and none planned. | 05:41 |
| *** trofi has quit IRC | 05:41 | |
| ArSa | but i'll move for n900 :P | 05:42 |
| GeneralAntilles | Who wants to bet no AT&T 3G bands was a T-Mobile requirement? | 05:42 |
| b-man16 | is the t-mobile service for the N900 optional btw? | 05:42 |
| ArSa | GeneralAntilles it's not really that. most of the world uses the wcdma frequencies that are in n900 | 05:43 |
| GeneralAntilles | b-man16, ever know Nokia not to sell unlocked? | 05:43 |
| *** k-s[AWAY] is now known as k-s | 05:43 | |

| SpeedEvil | GeneralAntilles: it's not completely implausible - however - there is limited flexibility available in the RF sections. You may not be able to get a module that will work for _all_ your markets | 05:43 |
| ArSa | GeneralAntilles but US is special as always, same as with 850/1700 band | 05:43 |
| GeneralAntilles | "Special" | 05:43 |
| zerojayPC | Retarded. :) | 05:44 |
| GeneralAntilles | Shut up, Canada. :P | 05:45 |
| ArSa | it sucks, but that's life. i think it started with cdma itself using these normal 900/1800 frequencies. and it went from there :-\ | 05:45 |

| doc|work | ShadowJK: here it's all about the telcos :/ | 06:44 |
| zerojayPC | Not with Nokia hardware. | 06:45 |
| doc|work | ShadowJK: sadly, bad telco choice and you end up paying much more than you have to | 06:45 |
| *** secureendpoints has quit IRC | 06:45 | |
| zerojayPC | Unless you're stuck on some shitty telco. | 06:45 |
| doc|work | given it's gsm I'm guessing it'll be rogers/fido but wondering about costs :/ | 06:45 |
| zerojayPC | Well, we know the European price. | 06:46 |
| doc|work | yep | 06:46 |
| zerojayPC | So anywhere between $500 and $800, I guess. | 06:46 |
| ShadowJK | doc|work, I think the part that makes me find it funny is that you guys seem not only fine with this slavery, you're demanding nokia to have sorted out the details of a continuation of the telco oppression in advance of the offical release of the device even! :) | 06:46 |
| doc|work | ShadowJK: fine with it? I'd like nothing more than the entire thing to be deregulated so there could be some real competition :/ | 06:47 |
| ShadowJK | I think you mean you want it to be regulated ;) | 06:47 |
| doc|work | ShadowJK: is it that weird to think they might have talked to some? have some agreements in place? | 06:47 |
| ShadowJK | ah I dunno | 06:48 |
| GeneralAntilles | Regulation is what allows the monopolies to stay in place. | 06:48 |
| doc|work | ShadowJK: haha, no, regulation is exactly the problem. The head regulator is a former exec who worked for two of telcos | 06:48 |
| doc|work | GeneralAntilles: indeed | 06:48 |
| ShadowJK | You know what pushed service prices down the most here? Number portability | 06:50 |

| ShadowJK | Wanna switch provider? Sign up with a new one and tell them you want to keep your old number. You get a new sim card, and you get a SMS when it's time to switch the card. A reboot of the phone later and you're on a new provider with the same old number you had before | 06:51 |
| zerojayPC | Must be nice doing that without a contract. | 06:52 |
| ShadowJK | But when providers are allowed to lock you in for years at a time, it puts a big damper on competition | 06:52 |
| doc|work | same in most places | 06:52 |
| doc|work | ShadowJK: most places that's more to do with contracts that you agree to. I've gotten pay as you go (credit) phones here because the plans suck so much. | 06:52 |
| doc|work | and because of them sucking so much, I don't give them my money unless absolutely necessary | 06:53 |
| ShadowJK | This is an area, I think, where regulation could be beneficial, to break up conditions where competition isn't working properly :) | 06:54 |
| GeneralAntilles | ShadowJK, deregulate, then address monopoly situations as they arise. | 06:54 |
| doc|work | ShadowJK: they've been regulated for years. Want to find the best telco systems? Go to africa. Unregulated there and far ahead of what we have here. | 06:54 |
| GeneralAntilles | That's how the government works if it's actually doing its job. | 06:54 |
| doc|work | with deregulation there's no such thing as a monopoly without the companies actually serving their customers | 06:55 |
| doc|work | otherwise someone else will serve their customers for them :) | 06:55 |
| GeneralAntilles | Ideally, but certainly not guaranteed. | 06:56 |
| GeneralAntilles | Which is why the government exists. | 06:56 |
| doc|work | true monopolies (companies with massive market shares who don't serve their customers) without governments | 06:56 |
| doc|work | most telco problems we have now exist because they had monopolies | 06:57 |
| doc|work | (government granted) | 06:57 |
| doc|work | er, s/without governments/can't exist without governments | 06:57 |

| *** chmac has joined #maemo | 07:13 | |
| GAN800 | Well, it's the Maemo release that's targetted for the masses. | 07:14 |
| chx | anyone knows what GPS chip is used in the N900? | 07:14 |
| chx | the same ... problematic one ... we had until now? | 07:14 |
| GAN800 | I suspect johnx's excitement stems from the platform improvements, though. | 07:14 |
| GAN800 | chx, highly unlikely. | 07:15 |
| GAN800 | Even if it is, though, it's actually got a cellular radio for the A in AGPS. | 07:16 |
| Luke-Jr | chx: the N810's GPS chip is not problematic, it is Nokia's driver blob that is broken | 07:16 |
| doc|work | hmmm, ok, I'm thinking maemo on the n900 will do a lot | 07:16 |
| Luke-Jr | Nokia refuses to fix it because the N900 has a different chip | 07:16 |
| doc|work | (to interest the masses) | 07:17 |
| Luke-Jr | or at least that's how I understood their refusal to fix it | 07:17 |

| doc|work | is maemo 5 gtk or qt? I thought os2008 was gtk. | 07:18 |

| GAN800 | GTK/Clutter | 07:18 |
| GAN800 | With community supported Qt. | 07:19 |
| doc|work | ah | 07:19 |
| GAN800 | Harmattan is Qt with community supported GTK. | 07:19 |
| doc|work | I see | 07:19 |
| doc|work | thanks for the answers | 07:19 |
| Luke-Jr | are there any Nokia employees chatting here at the moment? | 07:19 |
| chx | So.... 500EUR oct? | 07:20 |
| *** Moku has quit IRC | 07:20 | |
| Luke-Jr | guess not... what do you guys think of instead buying Samsung OmniaPro and porting Linux to it? ;) | 07:20 |
| kirma | I must say I'm not extremely pleased by the fact it doesn't have Qt, unless the community-supported version provides trivial compability path for applications to future releases, and actually works quite well already... | 07:20 |
| Luke-Jr | kirma: even future Qt-based versions should have GTK available | 07:21 |
| Luke-Jr | (and, if you're not a developer or lack the time, would you buy a Samsung phone instead of N900 if we can get a working port of Linux to it?) | 07:22 |
| kirma | yes, but that's still going to lose official support quite "soon", and Qt is going to be the platform for Nokia devices... | 07:22 |
| GAN800 | kirma, Qt is right in Extras. | 07:22 |
| GAN800 | You can install it right now on a Diablo device even. | 07:22 |
| Luke-Jr | kirma: well, GTK has always been dead to me | 07:22 |
| GAN800 | Luke-Jr, I don't support manufacturers who put Windows on their devices. | 07:23 |
| kirma | I'm mostly wondering how well the features of Qt for mobile apps (I imagine intelligent connection management, location and sensor data, integration to phone-type apps) is supported now and what it will be at harmattan/mainstream Qt-on-S60 releases | 07:23 |
| Luke-Jr | GAN800: even if we can install Linux? where do you get your laptops? ;p | 07:23 |
| kirma | I fear "for this release, it has to be done way A, and later releases way B" | 07:24 |
| *** eton_ is now known as eton | 07:24 | |
| Luke-Jr | kirma: AFAIK those features don't exist in Qt proper right now at all | 07:24 |
| kirma | exactly... | 07:25 |
| Luke-Jr | kirma: I doubt Nokia will stop using gpsd for future location things tho | 07:25 |
| Luke-Jr | unless they already have for n900 | 07:25 |
| kirma | well, portability to Qt on S60 is one thing I'm pondering | 07:25 |
| Luke-Jr | actually, Qt Extended already has a Location API | 07:26 |
| Luke-Jr | Qt is historically quite good at keeping compatibility within major releases | 07:26 |
| GAN800 | I don't buy laptops. | 07:26 |
| GAN800 | The netbook I have came from Dell with Ubuntu. | 07:26 |
| zerojayPC | I said it before... and now, I'll definitely say it again. | 07:27 |
| zerojayPC | I've bought my last desktop/laptop. | 07:27 |
| kirma | "quite good" starts to sound like "S60 is quite good" in this perspective ;> | 07:27 |
| Luke-Jr | GAN800: so the as-shipped state is more important to you than the capable-of state? | 07:27 |
| GAN800 | Luke-Jr, I'll remind you that by purchasing that phone you're giving money to Microsoft. | 07:27 |
| Luke-Jr | GAN800: it's not about the money | 07:28 |
| zerojayPC | After the N900... I don't see any way that I could go back to a tower ever again. | 07:28 |
| GAN800 | By purchasing an N900 you're encouraging Nokia to continue paying several dozen fulltime open source developers. | 07:28 |
| Luke-Jr | for me, it's about having something I can use | 07:28 |
| GAN800 | Of course, it's self-conflicting zealot attitudes like yours that prevent open source from gaining real ground. | 07:29 |
| Luke-Jr | by supporting a platform with open specs, I am encouraging people to release specs ;) | 07:29 |
| GAN800 | zerojayPC, I use a tower and a tablet. Perfect combo. | 07:29 |
| GAN800 | Luke-Jr, how do you expect your precious open source software to grow if not for money. | 07:30 |
| GAN800 | The biggest contributors to open source are all large commercial companies. | 07:30 |
| zerojayPC | GAN800: I hardly ever use my tower anymore except to passively share media. | 07:30 |
| Luke-Jr | GAN800: the more people that buy open-spec hardware, the more hardware will be released with open specs to sell it | 07:30 |
| GAN800 | You're a fool who's skewed perspective of reality is profoundly flawed. | 07:31 |

| Luke-Jr | ShadowJK: the SoC is open, at least; I figure 3D accel is the biggest hurdle | 07:32 |
| zerojayPC | ShadowJK: Nope. | 07:32 |
| Luke-Jr | ShadowJK: N8x0 GPS certainly isn't open, so there's only room for an improvement | 07:32 |

| zerojayPC | I printed some out and put them on our office fridge. | 07:48 |
| zerojayPC | Someone asked me if it was my kid's drawings. I had to tell him "no, this was a 30 year old man trying to tell me that a certain character wasn't in the right spot". | 07:48 |
| zerojayPC | "But it looks like speghetti." "I KNOW." | 07:49 |
| zerojayPC | Always nice to get back bug reports saying "it look bad" also. | 07:49 |

| zerojayPC | After telling the translator exactly which encoding to use to translate the game, he ignored it and then when we tried to tell him it was wrong, we got back an e-mail from his girlfriend saying a horse dragged him out of his bed and he died. | 07:50 |

| GeneralAntilles | kirma, that'd be "Maemo 6" | 08:06 |
| GeneralAntilles | and I imagine it'll ship just like OS2008 did for the N800. | 08:06 |
| kirma | somehow I feel that although I'm very pleased Maemo is being taken to the big market, the developer side, and maybe even the customer experience will be a bit too much in flux in the beginning | 08:07 |

| GeneralAntilles | Check it out. | 08:11 |
| kirma | well, I just hoped to see Qt ready to be shipped now, and developers not needing to hop from one platform to another or try a bit wobbly platform at this point | 08:11 |
| johnx | one thing at a time | 08:11 |
| johnx | I'm bathing in some honest to god marketing dollars for once | 08:12 |
| johnx | kirma, there will be qt for fremantle | 08:12 |
| johnx | it's already here for diablo | 08:12 |
| johnx | it'll be in a bit of flux, but I don't think there's any deal breakers in terms of developing for qt now. correct me if I'm wrong of course :) | 08:12 |
| kirma | the thing is how to convince companies to develop the applications... they have two options, out of which one is good now, but sour in future, other on trial level regarding support, although it is going to be good in future | 08:13 |
| GAN800 | Yeah, and I suspect GTK will be fine through Harmattan. | 08:14 |
| * timeless_mbp sighs | 08:14 | |

| timeless_mbp | sadly they insisted that they didn't have resources to make two layouts | 08:29 |
| timeless_mbp | and that it'd "be ok" | 08:29 |
| timeless_mbp | i don't have the capital to tell them to go F**** themselves | 08:29 |

| timeless_mbp | they also demanded prioritized lists of bugs from me | 08:29 |
| timeless_mbp | like 6-9 months ago | 08:29 |

| * timeless_mbp thinks we need to practice defenestration. a lot | 08:30 | |

| timeless_mbp | anyway. i'm almost don't translating Fremantle into English | 08:31 |
| ShadowJK | seriously, how hard would it be to leave an empty space where the week numbers go | 08:31 |
| * timeless_mbp shrugs | 08:31 | |
| timeless_mbp | i think the layout designers would complain about balance or whitespace or something | 08:32 |
| johnx | if arguing over how much we hate week numbers is the worst problem we have them I'm pretty happy | 08:32 |

| roope_ | Of course it takes time to do marketing videos, so it's a careful balance to do a video that tries to illustrate the performance that we hope/plan/expect to have in the final device.

| *** elninja has quit IRC | 09:05 | |
| Macer | i have one here that i'm fixing for someone | 09:06 |
| Macer | well.. fixing their laptop really | 09:06 |
| *** alexga has joined #maemo | 09:06 | |
| Macer | the rumors were true | 09:06 |
| Macer | some animal porn DOES contain trojans | 09:06 |
| ShadowJK | original cable and a cheapo dumb F-F adapter works (with usbcontrol) | 09:06 |
| *** elninja has joined #maemo | 09:06 | |
| Macer | heh... that would be interesting to try | 09:07 |
| ShadowJK | Then you'd be in for some kernel fun and setting up some scripts to make it actually use it... | 09:07 |
| tigert | bah, they should just have uset the youtube embedding for maemo.nokia.com video | 09:07 |
| ShadowJK | USB Flash drives work out of the box though :) | 09:07 |
| tigert | instead of some other flashplayer | 09:07 |
| Macer | heh | 09:07 |
| ShadowJK | tigert, NIH? :) | 09:07 |
| Macer | well... i just figured it might be a good alternative to an hspda modem | 09:07 |
| oilinki | maemo.nokia.com videos doesn't work with linux / firefox 3.5 combination either. | 09:07 |
| Stskeeps | worked fine for me earlier | 09:08 |
| Macer | if it does work maybe someone can market one that wraps around the n810 and acts as a modem/protection? :) | 09:08 |
| Macer | like a cricket n810 case? | 09:08 |
| GAN800 | tigert, I find it rather pathetix that maemo.nokia.com is 1024px minimum. | 09:08 |
| Macer | (made in china) | 09:08 |
| Stskeeps | ok, it doesn't anymore | 09:08 |
| GAN800 | s/ix/ic/ | 09:08 |
| infobot | GAN800 meant: tigert, I find it rather pathetic that maemo.nokia.com is 1024px minimum. | 09:08 |
| Macer | hm. nm-applet in fluxbox reboots mer when trying to adhoc tether | 09:10 |
| Macer | it was weird | 09:10 |
| tigert | GAN800: yeah - though I guess most people are viewing it on a laptop or desktop computer anyway | 09:10 |
| tigert | GAN800: web designers just have way too large monitors nowadays | 09:11 |
| *** chx has joined #maemo | 09:11 | |
| GAN800 | tigert, that's going to change when it's no longer the marketing site but the user site. | 09:11 |
| ShadowJK | Alot of the comments on (the various copies of) the videos seem positive... "go and hide iPhone", "This phone is Nokia's resurrection", "One of the best adds I've ever seen!" | 09:11 |
| GAN800 | How embarassing will it be to have horizontal scrollbars on a website launched off the device desktop out-of-the-box? | 09:11 |
| tigert | GAN800: maemo.org works fine on the tablets | 09:11 |
| ShadowJK | it's extraordinary that the comments are ontopic | 09:11 |
| oilinki | tigert: some of the web designer team members should be forced to use linux / mac for work. | 09:11 |
| tigert | oilinki: most designers *use* macs already | 09:12 |
| timeless_mbp | tigert: hey | 09:12 |
| GAN800 | tigert, yeah, because that's a usecase we targetted. | 09:12 |
| timeless_mbp | i remember when we were about to launch the microb garage site | 09:12 |
| timeless_mbp | we had designed it for gecko | 09:12 |
| timeless_mbp | and forgot to test opera | 09:12 |
| timeless_mbp | which was the browser you'd need to use to get microb | 09:12 |
| GAN800 | Unfortunately it seems m.n.c wasn't designed by users. | 09:12 |
| timeless_mbp | we kinda fixed that before we launched | 09:12 |
| GAN800 | Unlike maemo.org | 09:12 |
| tigert | oilinki: the 30 inch cinema displays on macs do not help in that though | 09:13 |
| oilinki | tigert: just need to stop paying so much money for designers.. so they have to use linux and small monitors ;) | 09:13 |
| timeless_mbp | heh | 09:13 |
| * timeless_mbp likes that idea | 09:13 | |
| GAN800 | I really hope we can get m.n.c fixed before October. | 09:14 |
| tigert | GAN800: facebook doesnt fit on 800px either | 09:14 |
| GAN800 | oilinki, then you get tables. | 09:14 |
| tigert | quite a few sites are wider nowadays | 09:14 |
| GAN800 | tigert, yeah, but we don't have control over that. | 09:14 |
| tigert | GAN800: but I have no problem viewing the maemo.nokia.com or facebook on the tablet really | 09:14 |
| GAN800 | We can at least fix the things we can fix. | 09:14 |
| timeless_mbp | tigert: the n900's ability to zoom made the m.n.c. site not bad | 09:15 |
| timeless_mbp | but iirc it wasn't enjoyable on an n810 | 09:15 |
| tigert | exactly | 09:15 |
| GAN800 | Doesn't justify it. | 09:15 |
| timeless_mbp | the layout in that regard was nice | 09:15 |
| timeless_mbp | you can zoom to a column and read down | 09:16 |
| timeless_mbp | of course, you kept running into nearly identical cells | 09:16 |
| timeless_mbp | and got frustrated by repeated grammatical errors | 09:16 |
| timeless_mbp | we had a morning reading yesterday for our group | 09:16 |
| timeless_mbp | stops required about every 1-2 sentences | 09:16 |
| tigert | GAN800: why are we always talking about this? :) | 09:17 |
| Macer | watching conspiracy | 09:18 |
| GAN800 | Are we? | 09:18 |
| Macer | amazing how nuts ze germans were | 09:18 |
| GAN800 | tigert, I'll refrain from directing those complaints your direction in the future, then. | 09:19 |
| *** xdx has joined #maemo | 09:19 | |

| *** sphenxes has joined #maemo | 09:19 | |
| * GAN800 will bug Jussi and Quim instead. | 09:19 | |
| tigert | but I care more that maemo.org works fine with tablets | 09:19 |
| *** veiz has quit IRC | 09:20 | |
| roope | Well, maemo.nokia.com isn't ... if you already got the device, then. | 09:20 |
| tigert | and quim & jussi are the right ones to bug about this | 09:20 |
| * ShadowJK vaguely recalls finding it funny his nokia phone not being able to read an article on forum.nokia about making websites accessible to mobile phones | 09:20 | |
| johnx | do as we say, not as we do :) | 09:21 |
| ShadowJK | :) | 09:21 |
| GAN800 | roope, Maemo Select is for owners. | 09:23 |
| Macer | ShadowJK: haha | 09:23 |
| Macer | irony at its best | 09:23 |
| roope | Well. It works nicely. | 09:23 |
| tigert | yeah. no problem viewing that on n900 at all | 09:23 |
| tigert | except for that promovideo flash issue | 09:24 |
| tigert | need to poke jussi about that | 09:24 |
| Macer | n900 looks beautiful | 09:24 |
| ShadowJK | does he have a HD source for it? I noticed one of the marketing videos are available as HD on youtube, and the other only as HQ | 09:24 |
| Macer | so is it an actual phone? | 09:24 |
| roope | Now we can say it: Yes, it's an actual phone. :) | 09:25 |
| timeless_mbp | heh, yeah | 09:25 |
| timeless_mbp | it's a phone | 09:25 |
| timeless_mbp | i called my sister somewhere in lapland with it yesterday evening | 09:25 |
| roope | "Noo... We're Nokia. Why would Nokia do phones?" ;) | 09:25 |
| ShadowJK | (then wait for people to whine and say they don't want a phone, then reply saying it works without sim card too) | 09:25 |
| ShadowJK | I assume it does ;) | 09:25 |
| tigert | phones are boring anyway | 09:26 |
| timeless_mbp | it does | 09:26 |
| tigert | it does all this other shit | 09:26 |
| timeless_mbp | unlike s60 | 09:26 |
| Macer | roope: haha | 09:26 |
| johnx | wonder if it can be tethered :) | 09:26 |
| timeless_mbp | which insists on not letting you go into "online" or "silent" modes w/o a sim | 09:26 |
| GAN800 | roope, can you comment on the phone orientation activation? Does it come up whenever it's in portrait or only from desktop? | 09:26 |
| * timeless_mbp grumbles about s60's "multimedia computers" | 09:26 | |
| Macer | johnx: haha | 09:26 |
| johnx | I also wonder if it will work with my cheap-o $10/month t-zones data plan | 09:26 |
| ShadowJK | oh I thought you could go wlan without sim | 09:26 |
| timeless_mbp | GAN800: only from desktop like things | 09:26 |
| timeless_mbp | and only if you don't disable it | 09:26 |
| timeless_mbp | because you can disable it | 09:26 |
| Macer | johnx: i wonder if it will work with tmobile at all | 09:26 |
| timeless_mbp | Macer: as a network, it'll work w/ tmobile | 09:27 |
| Macer | i searched far and wide for a tmobile nokia phone that didn't suck | 09:27 |
| tigert | ShadowJK: you can of course | 09:27 |
| Macer | timeless_mbp: 3G? | 09:27 |
| johnx | Macer, you need to read the specs | 09:27 |
| timeless_mbp | yes | 09:27 |
| Macer | wow | 09:27 |
| GAN800 | timeless_mbp, thanks, I can quell some insane people on tmo. | 09:27 |
| Macer | go nokia :) | 09:27 |
| timeless_mbp | that isn't the same as saying you can find it from them | 09:27 |
| Macer | i went on their online chat to their market support | 09:27 |
| timeless_mbp | just that technically it would | 09:27 |
| Macer | and the fucker was throwing att promotions at me | 09:27 |
| Macer | hahaha | 09:27 |
| Macer | wtf?? | 09:27 |
| Macer | "well. that would be a great reason to change!" | 09:27 |
| * GAN800 really, really needs AT&T 3G. | 09:28 | |
| timeless_mbp | GAN800: yeah well | 09:28 |
| Macer | GAN800: it sucks in chicago something awful | 09:28 |
| qwerty12_N810 | Americans really, really need non-shit networks | 09:28 |
| Macer | it is the worst you can get here :) | 09:28 |
| timeless_mbp | i'd settle for at&t letting me call people in the usa when i'm on the east coast | 09:28 |
| Macer | tmobile is great tho | 09:28 |
| * GAN800 is going to be scewed. | 09:28 | |
| * timeless_mbp grumbles about incompetent network operations people | 09:28 | |
| timeless_mbp | Macer: tmobile coverage is typically bad ime | 09:28 |
| timeless_mbp | i had a choice: | 09:28 |
| GAN800 | Can't even get T-Mobile 3G here. | 09:28 |
| johnx | qwerty12_N810, t-mo is a good example, as long as you lie to them through your teeth :) | 09:28 |
| timeless_mbp | use tmobile and call people from outside | 09:28 |
| Macer | timeless_mbp: well. i hardly use my phone to call people ;) | 09:29 |
| johnx | depends on where you are of course | 09:29 |
| GAN800 | I'm going to have to tether to a data-only plan on my goddamn 5800. | 09:29 |
| timeless_mbp | use at&t, call people in any other country from anywhere on the east coast and use internet (but no calling Americans) | 09:29 |
| Macer | honestly most of the time i just use it as a modem | 09:29 |
| qwerty12_N810 | johnx: heh.. t-mobile isn't bad here, actually. Guess it shows what your phone market is like :p | 09:29 |
| GAN800 | It's always something with Nokia. | 09:29 |
| Macer | timeless_mbp: well. att here drops like crazy | 09:29 |
| Macer | data and voice | 09:29 |
| *** chelli has joined #maemo | 09:29 | |
| timeless_mbp | Macer: where's here? | 09:29 |
| Macer | even when not mobile ;) | 09:29 |
| Macer | timeless_mbp: chicago | 09:29 |
| timeless_mbp | ah | 09:29 |
| tigert | GAN800: its something with your lovely phone operator really :S | 09:29 |
| timeless_mbp | i've been through chicago, w/ cingular | 09:30 |
| timeless_mbp | but that was a while ago | 09:30 |
| johnx | qwerty12_N810, $10/mo for unlimited data as long as you tell them it's not for a smart phone :) | 09:30 |
| timeless_mbp | and i wasn't heavily using my phone then | 09:30 |
| tigert | what it sounds to me, is that the US phone operator landscape is ultimate piss-on-customers-eye | 09:30 |
| Macer | yeah.. cingular/att sucks | 09:30 |
| GAN800 | tigert, can't change that, but Nokia could ship a modem that's not going to screw me over. | 09:30 |
| tigert | from what I hear from my american friends | 09:30 |
| johnx | mention "smart phone" and "ah! well you need to pay $30+/mo" | 09:30 |
| Macer | mergers ruin things | 09:30 |
| qwerty12_N810 | johnx: heh | 09:30 |
| GAN800 | What good is a stupid phone tablet without 3G? | 09:30 |
| tigert | GAN800: its your operator that says you need plan XYZ to do "foo" | 09:30 |
| Macer | att bought cingular and shut down 1892372197 towers | 09:30 |
| GAN800 | tigert, plan isn't an issue. | 09:31 |
| GAN800 | Frequency support is. | 09:31 |
| Macer | anyways. i am very happy that it supports tmob 3G | 09:31 |
| GAN800 | I can use my $15/mo data plan just fine. | 09:32 |
| tigert | http://gizmodo.com/5346996/gscreens-dual+screen-spacebook-coming-soonish | 09:32 |
| tigert | wow :D | 09:32 |
| tigert | now that is crazy looking thing | 09:32 |
| GAN800 | I just need a modem that supports AT&T 3G frequencies. | 09:32 |
| * GAN800 is so goddamn tired of Nokia. | 09:32 | |
| Macer | GAN800: doesn't most nokia hardware do it? :) | 09:33 |
| Macer | haha | 09:33 |
| Macer | or you mean an actual modem? | 09:33 |
| Macer | and nothing more? | 09:33 |
| GAN800 | Apparently not the only piece of hardware that matters. | 09:33 |
| johnx | GAN800, pandora+usb data modem | 09:33 |
| * johnx ducks | 09:33 | |
| Macer | hahhahaha | 09:33 |
| Macer | "the only piece of hardware that matters | 09:33 |
| Macer | ? | 09:33 |
| GAN800 | No, I mean a goddamn phone that supports AT&T 3G. | 09:33 |
| GAN800 | N900. | 09:34 |
| Macer | no kidding | 09:34 |
| Macer | no att 3G support on n900? | 09:34 |
| Macer | :) awesome | 09:34 |
| * Macer hopes this begins the fall of att | 09:34 | |
| Macer | like enron | 09:34 |
| qwerty12_N810 | Tell AT&T to sharpen their act then. I can use 3G on any of the networks we have here. | 09:34 |
| johnx | it just kills me that we have essentially 4 frequency incompatible carriers | 09:34 |
| GAN800 | T-Mobile has zero coverage here. | 09:34 |
| johnx | yay "open market" | 09:34 |
| Macer | GAN800: just the opposite here ;) | 09:35 |
| Macer | is it really that hard to make a radio that can support all the freqs? | 09:35 |
| GAN800 | Plus the fact that I'm stuck on a plan with two iPhones. | 09:35 |
| Macer | GAN800: teh price you pay | 09:35 |
| GAN800 | Macers, apparently, or Nokia wouldn't be screwing me over again. | 09:35 |
| GAN800 | Macer, it's that or $50 more a month. | 09:36 |
| johnx | qwerty12_N810, it was a question of gov't regulation, ie the lack of any, which led to carriers using freq as a "lock in" | 09:36 |
| GAN800 | For a T-Mobile plan that has no 3G coverage here. | 09:36 |
| Macer | GAN800: yeah. they have you on their list of "people to screw" | 09:36 |
| Macer | haha | 09:36 |
| * GAN800 sighs. | 09:36 | |
| Macer | just pay the 50 more a month you cheap bastard :) | 09:36 |
| GAN800 | So tired of this platform. | 09:36 |
| GAN800 | Macer, there's no 3G, so it doesn't help. | 09:37 |
| Macer | oh | 09:37 |
| Macer | then nm | 09:37 |
| GAN800 | T-Mobile coverage here is practically analog-only. | 09:37 |
| johnx | GAN800, move :) | 09:37 |
| qwerty12_N810 | johnx: sounds typical :) | 09:37 |
| Macer | haha | 09:37 |
| chx | Can anyone confirm that Rogers/Fido in the Great White North uses 2100MHz for HSDPA? | 09:37 |
| Macer | GAN800: where do you livce? | 09:37 |
| GAN800 | johnx, :rolleyes: | 09:37 |
| Macer | live? | 09:37 |
| GAN800 | Florida. | 09:37 |
| Macer | oh | 09:38 |
| Macer | they had 3G coverage all over hte place there | 09:38 |
| qwerty12_N810 | Oh, in that case, johnx is right: move. | 09:38 |
| Macer | but their towers were knocked down by hurricanes | 09:38 |
| johnx | chx, keep in mind there are more than one "2100MHz" 3G frequencies, IIRC | 09:38 |
| GAN800 | qwerty12, ever been here? | 09:38 |
| chx | johnx: well. I jsut want to use the N900 w/ my Fido 6G/$30 data plan :) | 09:39 |
| qwerty12_N810 | GAN800: No. Although I hear the beaches are nice :) | 09:39 |
| GAN800 | Some of the best in the world. | 09:39 |
| chx | what shocks me is that they shrunk the screen by a centimetre and kept the resolution | 09:39 |
| chx | is that a new PPI record? | 09:39 |
| GAN800 | It's alsl not filled with socialists like CA. | 09:40 |
| * chx checks http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_displays_by_pixel_density | 09:40 | |
| johnx | laughs about the thought of Seattle beaches, probably about the same as the beaches closest to qwerty12_N810 :) | 09:40 |
| GAN800 | No. | 09:40 |
| * GAN800 sighs. | 09:40 | |
| chx | no. the X1 is still higher w/ 3.0 @ 800x480 | 09:40 |
| GAN800 | Nokia's killing all of my enthusiam. | 09:40 |
| GAN800 | High-five, Nokia. | 09:40 |
| * tigert lives in a socialist country with great 3.5G coverage and unlimited data for 20 euros per month | 09:41 | |
| Myrtti | ♥ | 09:41 |
| GAN800 | tigert, you also pay taxes like crazy. | 09:41 |
| * tigert thinks GAN800 is blaming the wrong tree here really | 09:41 | |
| tigert | GAN800: sure, but a lot less insurance | 09:41 |
| Macer | GAN800: just use edge | 09:41 |
| Myrtti | GAN800: and get virtually free healthcare with it | 09:41 |
| Macer | :) | 09:41 |
| tigert | I bet it pretty much evens out in the end | 09:41 |
| Myrtti | next question | 09:41 |
| Macer | and wifi | 09:41 |
| GAN800 | Fixing US carriers is hard. | 09:41 |
| Macer | doesn't fl have wifi like.. EVERYWHERE? | 09:41 |
| GAN800 | Adding two goddamn frequencies to a phone is easy. | 09:42 |
| tigert | GAN800: blame your operators who choose the handsets they sell to you | 09:42 |
| johnx | GAN800, can't be any harder than fixing dogs and cats :D | 09:42 |
| tigert | not the manufacturers really | 09:42 |
| GAN800 | Myrtti, there's no such thing as a free lunch. | 09:42 |
| tigert | GAN800: there isnt, thats why I said it pretty much evens out in the end | 09:43 |
| adeus | mushrooms from the forrest | 09:43 |
| johnx | nope, just a previously paid for lunch :) | 09:43 |

| Myrtti | GAN800: buy an iphone and be merry ;-) | 09:43 |
| * GAN800 will go live in the hills and hunt deer. | 09:43 | |
| tigert | GAN800: I dont think florida has much hills? :) | 09:44 |
| GAN800 | johnx, with a massive, inefficient leach eating most of it. | 09:44 |
| johnx | if you're hunting dear, you'll be wanting something sharp for that, like a palm pre :) | 09:44 |
| GAN800 | tigert, plenty of deer, though. | 09:44 |
| johnx | GAN800, just like those damn socialist fire departments | 09:44 |
| * GAN800 sleeps. | 09:44 | |
| adeus | the us used to have private fire stations | 09:45 |
| tigert | GAN800: but hey, all I know from US is few years of work visits and watching Sicko, and life in north Europe | 09:45 |
| tigert | so take my talk with a grain of salt ;) | 09:45 |
| johnx | 'night GAN800. :) | 09:45 |
| tigert | sleep well :) | 09:45 |
| GAN800 | tigert, getting info from Moore documentaries is about the worst place to go. | 09:46 |
| tigert | no doubt about that :) | 09:46 |
| johnx | ...followed by lobbyists, political commercials and IRC :) | 09:46 |
| tigert | hence the disclaimer ;D | 09:46 |
| tigert | GAN800: but socialism is not that bad really | 09:47 |
| tigert | sure there are issues everywhere no matter what system you use | 09:47 |
| tigert | but I cannot complain that much on how things are in finland at least | 09:48 |
| lpotter | I wish Nokia was socialist and give me a free n900 | 09:48 |
| tigert | :D | 09:48 |
| tigert | oh well, time to raise shareholder value | 09:49 |
| tigert | :P | 09:49 |
| lpotter | well, I try everyday at work :) | 09:49 |
| johnx | huh, thinking about phone carrier subsidized handsets as a form of socialism is a fun thought experiment | 09:50 |
| adeus | and you may have one | 09:50 |
| adeus | in the form of the carrier infrastructure | 09:51 |
| * tigert hopes the n900 had a flash sync port ;) | 09:51 | |

| *** lcuk has joined #maemo | 10:03 | |

| timeless_mbp | is that a concern? | 10:03 |
| tigert | shortening? wazzat? | 10:03 |
| ShadowJK | What's animal shortening? | 10:04 |
| timeless_mbp | the opposite of vegetable shortening :( | 10:04 |
| tigert | you mean animal fat? | 10:04 |
| oilinki | I just wonder how spanish speaking people come along in thailand. 'Loco' maens in thai 'and' .. and in spanish it's 'crazy' :) | 10:04 |
| ShadowJK | so like, what's shortening then | 10:04 |
| timeless_mbp | "lard" perhaps | 10:04 |
| timeless_mbp | tigert: yes | 10:04 |
| maswan | tigert: shortening is a horrible .us invention which is kind of like margarine, except without trying to make it similar to butter. quite similar to machine grease. hi btw. :) | 10:05 |
| timeless_mbp | but as a cooking product its called shortening | 10:05 |
| timeless_mbp | s/its/it's/ | 10:05 |
| infobot | timeless_mbp meant: but as a cooking product it's called shortening | 10:05 |
| tigert | maswan! :) | 10:05 |
| timeless_mbp | right, so... is it a concern? | 10:06 |
| ShadowJK | I have a feeling trying to source ingredients for your spinach in finland is like trying to get sour milk for finnish recipies in the US ;-) | 10:06 |
| tigert | only if you are concerned ;) | 10:06 |
| tigert | I dunno, there are vegetable based "ruokakerma" cream-like products, but I dont think they put lard in cream here | 10:06 |
| timeless_mbp | ... | 10:06 |
| maswan | ShadowJK: buttermilk is kind of similar, except not as sour. you can get by on that though, or yoghurt, depending on which recipe it is. | 10:06 |
| tigert | check the package, I guess it says whats in it | 10:06 |
| tigert | if it has, it should mention it | 10:07 |
| timeless_mbp | tigert: in Finnish and Swedish | 10:07 |

| timeless_mbp | i'm not doing the shopping, my sister and her friends are | 10:07 |
| ShadowJK | timeless, is whether it's animal or vegetable based cram a concern because your guest is a vegetarian? | 10:07 |
| tigert | timeless_mbp: so butter is ok as it is not part of the animal, but rather a product created by the animal? | 10:08 |
| maswan | tigert: they can ask some cute guy in the store then? | 10:08 |
| maswan | timeless_mbp: ehm. ^^ | 10:08 |
| ShadowJK | Oh, cream made entirely from dairy would be fine too? | 10:09 |
| maswan | timeless_mbp: I cook for a (lacto-,ovo-,) vegetarian gf, and we've never come accross a margarine that has lard in it in swedish stores. Cheese on the other hand is hard to find, since most of them have rennet. | 10:09 |
| * lpotter finds non rennet cheese in Australia | 10:10 | |
| maswan | There is some, luckily Valio is sold here, which is better than most swedish dairies in making non rennet cheese. | 10:11 |
| timeless_mbp | maswan: does valio have parmesan ? :) | 10:11 |
| timeless_mbp | maswan: what about creamed spinach? :) | 10:12 |
| tigert | timeless_mbp: parmesan is a protected name afaik, so it can only be italian? | 10:12 |
| timeless_mbp | (this is definitely a better use of #maemo) | 10:12 |
| ShadowJK | timeless_mbp, you probably need to steal^Wborrow a N900 from nokia and give it to your chef for trying his luck with translate.google.com ;-) | 10:12 |
| maswan | timeless_mbp: Dunno, have never checked. Edam and Emmentaler are the ones we get here rennet free. And coop's grated mozarella for pizza. | 10:12 |
| tigert | but valio has Forte which is similar | 10:12 |

| *** JamieBennett has quit IRC | 10:14 | |

| timeless_mbp | your lines should be thicker | 10:22 |
| timeless_mbp | aol_: the problem isn't precisely with mixing | 10:22 |

| ShadowJK | timeless, right. Look for a package that looks like a short milk container of 2dl. I'm assuming you know what the "normal" milk containers look like... except, instead of light blue, blue with yellow, blue, and red to denote different fat milks, the cream container is a yellowish colour | 10:25 |
| timeless_mbp | khertan: thicken the lines of your clock | 10:25 |
| johnx | kristian_, there's probably not a *better* place. let's put it that way :) | 10:25 |

| timeless_mbp | kristian_: afaik japan wasn't listed as a market | 10:27 |
| kristian_ | crap | 10:27 |

| timeless_mbp | or pulling your leg | 10:28 |
| timeless_mbp | Khertan_wantan90: look up katakana | 10:28 |

| qwerty12_N810 | Language support on http://maemo.nokia.com/n900/specifications/ sums up what it'll support out of the box | 10:29 |
| johnx | Khertan_wantan90, you can get away with inputing japanese with a qwerty layout | 10:29 |
| kristian_ | hmm. then it's a no-go then. im going to japan in a month and i need a phone with good language support across applications and preferably skype support too.. | 10:29 |

| gomiam | hi everyone... while you are talking about N900... ¿are there binary blobs in the kernel that make it difficult to keep supporting it when Nokia stops putting out versions of Maemo for it? | 10:30 |
| johnx | kristian_, I would have doubts about it working on japanese carriers anyways | 10:30 |
| johnx | also, the phone isn't out until october ... | 10:30 |
| Stskeeps | gomiam: AFAIK kernel is fully open source. | 10:30 |
| *** tbf has joined #maemo | 10:30 | |
| timeless_mbp | although, in this case, it doesn't look like we have Brazilian Portuguese | 10:30 |
| Stskeeps | there's the obvious firmware .bin's like on a normal PC probably | 10:30 |
| gomiam | Stskeeps: thanks | 10:30 |
| gomiam | ok, ok | 10:30 |
| Stskeeps | but nothing restricting kernel | 10:30 |
| kristian_ | stskeeps: both | 10:31 |
| gomiam | I was asking because of things like the PAP situation in N8xx | 10:31 |
| * timeless_mbp frowns | 10:31 | |
| Stskeeps | gomiam: PAP .. wasn't the issue with that actually the system software, not so much kernel? | 10:31 |
| timeless_mbp | our video camera has a 8 more pixels of resolution horizontally than our display? | 10:31 |
| gomiam | Stskeeps: it was both, AFAIK. But let me check just in case. | 10:31 |
| timeless_mbp | Stskeeps: users can't tell the difference between layers | 10:31 |
| timeless_mbp | everything's a "kernel" issue :) | 10:32 |
| Stskeeps | timeless_mbp: when someone mentions PAP i expect them to have some degree of understanding :P | 10:32 |
| Khertan_wantan90 | it s seems | 10:32 |
| * timeless_mbp doesn't :) | 10:32 | |
| ShadowJK | timeless, mod 16 | 10:32 |
| Stskeeps | i wonder if squeezebox touch is hackable | 10:33 |
| gomiam | ok, so I mixed PAP and the propietary wifi kernel module. | 10:34 |
| ShadowJK | it's nice. Video codecs dislike things that aren't %16, but the scaler in the GPU doesn't care (I hope) | 10:34 |
| * timeless_mbp chuckles @ http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/08/26/AR2009082601694.html | 10:34 | |
| timeless_mbp | Stskeeps: i win :) | 10:34 |
| ShadowJK | there's opensource wifi driver now, isn't there | 10:34 |
| Stskeeps | yeah | 10:35 |
| *** Khertan_wantan90 has quit IRC | 10:35 | |
| gomiam | in my defense, the way to work around the PAP issue was, as I read from the bugfile, that a different kernelo driver was needed for wpa_supplicant to work. | 10:35 |
| johnx | right, and even the proprietary kernel module actually wasn't stopping people from using vanilla wpasupplicant and using PAP that way, it was just a pain, not impossible :) | 10:35 |
| eton | the phone related function of n900 is not opensource? | 10:35 |
| Stskeeps | eton: we really don't know though | 10:35 |
| ShadowJK | some real issues might be that the gps driver depends on a kernel bug that's fixed in new kernels, and the n810 keyboard is broken in newer kernels (though luke has a fix?) | 10:35 |
| Stskeeps | phonet and kernel interfaces are OSS AFAIK | 10:36 |
| *** homeasvs has quit IRC | 10:36 | |
| *** kleist has joined #maemo | 10:36 | |
| timeless_mbp | yeah i'm pretty sure phonet is open | 10:37 |
| timeless_mbp | the ui is likely to be closed, but you're unlikely to want to do anything there | 10:37 |
| timeless_mbp | the ui is shared w/ other providers (SIP, Skype, ...) | 10:37 |
| timeless_mbp | and those are pluggable | 10:38 |
| ShadowJK | can you add your own voice and chat prov...ah | 10:38 |
| wazd | o/ all :) | 10:38 |
| timeless_mbp | the same applies to chat | 10:38 |
| timeless_mbp | that stuff is mostly the same architecture afaiu as was in the n810 | 10:38 |
| timeless_mbp | so you can drop in irc support or whatever | 10:38 |
| Stskeeps | call timeless_mbp on irc? ;P | 10:39 |
| suihkulokki | eton: you might want to look at ofono - n900 doesn't use it, but ofono already includes code for nokia-style phone interface | 10:39 |
| ShadowJK | or google voice (or whatever) without the "UI consistency" issues that apple is so worried about ;-) | 10:39 |
| Luke-Jr | gomiam: while N8x0 don't need proprietary kernel modules, there are still two userland blobs that make it impractical for community support | 10:39 |

| kirma | a good assumption that there's little reason for closed-source code on GSM modem(phone) functionality on low level is that even if it was closed source, the ability to switch software freely would make it very hard to get certified by FCC/ETSI/whatever for network use | 10:44 |
| kirma | the modem functionality has to be either physically separated to a separate hardware or run under some sort of trusted computing environment to make it acceptable under those terms, I suppose. | 10:45 |

| Khertanwantan900 | i was sure ... | 10:54 |
| Khertanwantan900 | it s a phone too | 10:54 |

| chx | your average linux hacker with access to ... pretty much , your wallet. | 10:55 |

| chx | do you want to place a phone call to Mauritius for 24hrs just because Joe misplaced a dot somewhere :P ? | 10:56 |
| Stskeeps | that's the problem really - if you have a very flexible phone these things are possible | 10:56 |
| chx | it's one thing to install every piece o crap from extras devel now | 10:56 |
| Stskeeps | frankly, just add something in sudoers.d .. | 10:56 |

| * Stskeeps wonders how on earth karma will be calculated if things start moving into git trees and such | 11:36 | |

| X-Fade | Stskeeps: Well, I can easily hook that up to the packages interface ;) | 11:37 |

| *** ScriptRipper has joined #maemo | 11:38 | |

| lardman | not as is | 12:55 |

| lardman | which ones? | 12:59 |
| RST38h | The OGL ES one for example | 13:00 |
| RST38h | Also, if the maemo5 binaries are compiled for OMAP3, they may crash on OMAP2 | 13:01 |
| lardman | yeah, well assuming we do get that one day | 13:01 |
| lardman | yes, that was to be my next question, assuming some components are closed source, we'll need to ask Nokia nicely to release those compiled for our cpu | 13:01 |
| RST38h | BTW, if you remember that bug with 770 crash due to unaligned pointer, it is still there | 13:02 |

| aol_ | ok alright, I'll install ubuntu | 13:48 |
| aol_ | thanks | 13:49 |
| X-Fade | javispedro: Looking at the history, I think they have something planned. | 13:49 |
| Khertanwantan900 | (12:49:07) aol_: are there any preferred distros for Maemo 5 SDK ? < Maemo ... | 13:49 |
| Khertanwantan900 | :) | 13:50 |
| * zerojayPC stretch/yawn | 13:50 | |
| javispedro | I think they should play that ace more. | 13:50 |
| aol_ | Khertanwantan900: can I run the sdk on maemo ? :) | 13:50 |
| javispedro | e.g. 5% initial discount, 10% rebate if we see your finished app. | 13:50 |
| aol_ | on my N800? would be very cool :) | 13:50 |
| Khertanwantan900 | no it s not possible :( | 13:50 |
| aol_ | I sort of guessed :) | 13:50 |
| Khertanwantan900 | javispedro: they are already sponsoring some people to the summit at Amsterdam in octobr | 13:51 |
| Stskeeps | i have no idea how the previous rebates were | 13:51 |
| Stskeeps | i wish i did though | 13:51 |
| * Stskeeps came quite late in the game :) | 13:51 | |
| Khertanwantan900 | javispedro: and provide great discount for my n810 | 13:51 |
| lardman | how, how do you mean? | 13:51 |
| X-Fade | Stskeeps: Devices for 100 euro. | 13:52 |
| Khertanwantan900 | i paid it 100Euro | 13:52 |
| Stskeeps | that's fairly cheap | 13:52 |
| javispedro | O.o | 13:52 |
| lardman | yeah, £70 iirc | 13:52 |
| X-Fade | Stskeeps: And free ones at akademy. | 13:52 |
| Khertanwantan900 | hope i could get a n900 too for that price ... | 13:52 |
| * qwerty12_N810 spits. He had a £180 N800 :) | 13:52 | |
| javispedro | they're not gonna do that this time, they must have realised their developer base = half their consumer base ;) | 13:52 |
| Khertanwantan900 | as 500 Euros HT is too high for my wife | 13:52 |
| Stskeeps | qwerty12_N810: i honestly think you have a bigger chance of a devel machine than me :> | 13:53 |
| zerojayPC | I got my N810 free, but only because something went massively wrong with my discount code and finally, after about 10 months of it not working and being without a tablet (I sold my N800 when I got my dev discount), Quim just sent me one free. | 13:53 |
| Stskeeps | devel rebate that is | 13:53 |
| qwerty12_N810 | Stskeeps: bollocks | 13:53 |
| zerojayPC | And two weeks later, the battery in it died. :/ | 13:53 |
| zerojayPC | And somehow came back to life six months later. | 13:53 |
| Stskeeps | qwerty12_N810: at least you got a N810 for free :) | 13:53 |
| pupnik | quim is doing a good job | 13:53 |
| Khertanwantan900 | pupnik: yep | 13:53 |
| aol_ | btw, any reason why Eclipse eetc would not run on N900? | 13:53 |
| Khertanwantan900 | really | 13:53 |
| qwerty12_N810 | Stskeeps: indeed, thanks again :) | 13:53 |
| aol_ | would be kind of perverted to do programming on it | 13:54 |
| Khertanwantan900 | aol_: eclipse is coded in java | 13:54 |
| aol_ | still no JVM ? | 13:54 |
| javispedro | aol_, none at all, search for the embedded java se and try it. | 13:54 |
| aol_ | ah ok | 13:54 |
| slonopotamus | aol_, 256ram | 13:54 |
| javispedro | but on omap2 hw you'll die before it loads. | 13:54 |
| Stskeeps | qwerty12_N810: meh, you bloody deserved it | 13:54 |
| slonopotamus | aol_, it will run, but slowly | 13:54 |
| Khertanwantan900 | and there is real editor if you need | 13:54 |
| aol_ | slonopotamus: but 1 GB virtual :) | 13:54 |
| aol_ | ok | 13:54 |
| Khertanwantan900 | instead of Eclipse | 13:54 |
| Khertanwantan900 | i suggest you to try PyGTKEditor | 13:55 |
| Khertanwantan900 | :) | 13:55 |
| tbf | the bigger problem for eclipse is the keyboard, friends | 13:55 |
| slonopotamus | aol_, meh, even if 1tb | 13:55 |
| * Khertanwantan900 use it for doing his soft directly on his n810 in the train :) | 13:55 | |
| aol_ | so how about c++ etc, whats the footprint of those | 13:55 |
| aol_ | I meant gcc | 13:55 |
| slonopotamus | Khertanwantan900, !! | 13:55 |
| javispedro | aol_, debian/mer chroot and go ahead. | 13:55 |
| slonopotamus | Khertanwantan900, can you fix redo, plz? :) | 13:55 |
| Khertanwantan900 | ? | 13:55 |
| Khertanwantan900 | it didn't work ? | 13:56 |
| * Khertanwantan900 never made error | 13:56 | |
| slonopotamus | it never worked | 13:56 |
| Khertanwantan900 | oh ... | 13:56 |
| slonopotamus | it undoes | 13:56 |
| slonopotamus | instead of redoing | 13:56 |
| javispedro | The KhertHAL9000 computers are incapable of error | 13:56 |

| slonopotamus | Khertan_afk, scroll position is lost when switching from fullscreen. it scrolls to cursor | 14:01 |
| slonopotamus | Khertan_afk, also, cursor and scroll always point to end of file on file open. is it a feature? pointing to beginning is more natural, i think | 14:02 |

| _berto_ | guax: i use it everyday | 18:07 |
| guax | battery life. how it does? i was thinking in something to watch internet when a notebook is too large and watch videos | 18:07 |
| _berto_ | i don't use it to watch videos a lot, but I tend to recharge it every 2-3 days | 18:08 |
| ShellEvil | I'd wait a bit - it's quite plausible that n810 will drop in price when 900 released | 18:09 |
| _berto_ | what's the price of the n810 now anyway | 18:10 |
| _berto_ | ? | 18:10 |
| guax | i will pay about $350 | 18:10 |

| _berto_ | but the keyboard in the n810 is a must for me | 18:17 |

| zerojay | Haha | 19:11 |
| Andy80 | GeneralAntilles: why? | 19:12 |
| GeneralAntilles | Andy80, because I'm tired. | 19:12 |
| Andy80 | GeneralAntilles: tired of what :) ? of waiting? | 19:12 |
| GeneralAntilles | Everything. | 19:12 |

| GeneralAntilles | Andy80, the whole reason they canned Elephanta was to move Fremantle up by about 6 months. | 19:13 |
| GeneralAntilles | Now, somehow, we're back on the original schedule. | 19:14 |
| zerojay | I dont know about Gen, but it sometimes feels like we're running in mud waist deep. | 19:14 |
| Andy80 | GeneralAntilles: uhmm... sorry, don't know about "Elephanta" :( | 19:14 |
| GeneralAntilles | Andy80, that was the planned Maemo release for the end of 2008. | 19:14 |
| GeneralAntilles | To run on OMAP3 hardwase and be architecturally similar to Diablo. | 19:14 |
| GeneralAntilles | Which was cancelled in favor of advancing Fremantle by about half a year. | 19:15 |
| Andy80 | GeneralAntilles: and... aren't you happy with this? | 19:15 |
| Andy80 | I do prefer they make Fremantle to advance | 19:15 |
| BluesLee | GeneralAntilles: is Fremantle far away from the other maemo distros? | 19:15 |
| GeneralAntilles | Andy80, problem is, that advanced ship date would've been around June. | 19:16 |
| GeneralAntilles | Now it's October | 19:16 |
| GeneralAntilles | Which puts us right back where we started. | 19:16 |
| GeneralAntilles | Thus, delays. | 19:16 |
| GeneralAntilles | BluesLee, Fremantle is a big upgrade over Diablo. | 19:16 |
| X-Fade | s/big/massive/ | 19:16 |
| BluesLee | GeneralAntilles: what about the freely available apps on maemo.org, will they also run on Fremantle or do they need to be re-compiled? | 19:18 |
| GeneralAntilles | BluesLee, a lot of them have already been recompiled. | 19:18 |
| zerojay | And adapted to the fremantle ui. | 19:19 |
| BluesLee | GeneralAntilles: okay, i think the n900 is the right device for me (coming from zaurus, openmoko) | 19:19 |
| BluesLee | october isnt so far away:-) | 19:20 |

| wiretapped | it can use several different map sources | 21:22 |
| esaym153 | is that installed by default? | 21:23 |
| wiretapped | no | 21:23 |
| wiretapped | it is in maemo-extras though | 21:23 |
| esaym153 | https://garage.maemo.org/projects/maemo-mapper/? | 21:23 |
| wiretapped | yeah, but you should install it thru maemo extras | 21:23 |
| wiretapped | in your application manager, enable that repo if you haven't already | 21:23 |
| esaym153 | ok, so then where to get better maps? Pay money? lol | 21:24 |
| wiretapped | maemo mapper uses google, open street map, microsoft maps, and others | 21:24 |

| ShellEvil | OSM is indeed awesome. | 21:40 |
| ShellEvil | The progress year by year is astounding. | 21:41 |

| ShellEvil | Very debatably awesome. | 21:41 |

| *** jpereira has quit IRC | 21:42 | |
| wiretapped | yeah sometimes something is worse than nothing, but generally not | 21:42 |
| aol_ | anybody done OSM tile maps to their apps ? | 21:42 |
| ShellEvil | It is generally topologically accurate - the right roads are there - connected in the right ways. | 21:42 |
| aol_ | anybody here I mean | 21:42 |
| ShellEvil | But they can be _wierdly_ distorted. | 21:42 |
| ShellEvil | And until recently the freeway network was _totally_ broken. It's now only slightly broken. | 21:42 |
| ShadowJK | Maybe they aren't WGS84 | 21:42 |
| ShellEvil | ShadowJK: no - nothing like that. | 21:43 |
| ShellEvil | ShadowJK: take an accurate streetmap. | 21:43 |
| ShellEvil | ShadowJK: now randomly bend it and twist it into wierd shapes. | 21:43 |
| ShadowJK | hm :) | 21:43 |
| ShellEvil | You now have tiger in some areas. | 21:43 |
| ShadowJK | I for one wouldn't mind paying for an accurate map | 21:43 |
| ShadowJK | but nobody has one | 21:43 |
| ShellEvil | I suspect some of it was taken manually - with rough positions - and only intended to be topologically acurate - not actually accurate positions. | 21:44 |
| ShadowJK | Nokia Maps and Wayfinder disagree by about a kilometre in worst case when I used both last week :) | 21:44 |
| wiretapped | as discussed in floss81, nobody has one with reasonable license terms. Lots of people will sell you maps though :) | 21:44 |
| ShellEvil | I was working on some housing in el-paso. (correcting tiger to yahoo imagery) - the errors are _wierd_. | 21:44 |
| ShadowJK | What's amusing is that if I was going to RoadABC XXX, I often got closer to XXX by just using the car's odometer instead of wayfinder or nokia maps' idea of how far down XXX would be | 21:45 |

| roundyz | I just got from watching three of the videos about the n900, wow! | 21:56 |
| roundyz | But I hve came here with a few Qs, so... | 21:57 |
| roundyz | maemo is based on linux and gnome, yes? | 21:57 |
| roundyz | Can you get a terminal on it? | 21:58 |
| Stskeeps | let me just show you a blog post :) | 21:58 |
| Firebird | xterm is installed out of the box roundyz | 21:58 |
| roundyz | or could Maemo be emulated through a vm so I can test it myself? | 21:58 |
| roundyz | Firebird: thanks... | 21:58 |

| ShadowJK | oh no, N900 doesn't have the tiny nokia charger plug anymore? | 21:59 |
| Firebird | really? | 21:59 |
| tbf | ShadowJK: it got something better: a small usb port | 21:59 |
| Firebird | :/ I recently bought a nokia car charger | 21:59 |
| ShadowJK | Yeah that's a royal pain, have to get new adapters and stuff | 22:00 |
| ShadowJK | and availability is still poor | 22:00 |
| *** zz_jhford is now known as jhford | 22:01 | |
| *** jhford is now known as zz_jhford | 22:02 | |
| slonopotamus | so... it charges when plugged in desktop? | 22:02 |
| *** veiz has quit IRC | 22:02 | |
| ShadowJK | it probably comes with a charger | 22:02 |
| mikkov_ | Firebird: you can get adapter for the old charger http://www.elektroni.fi/tuotekuvat/microUSB_DC2.0_Adapteri.jpg | 22:02 |
| roundyz | Is there any pricing on the net yet, or is it too early? | 22:03 |
| ShadowJK | mikkov_, is that big plug to microusb? | 22:03 |
| *** alehorst has joined #maemo | 22:03 | |
| ShadowJK | I just tried with my E75, it doesn't charge just by giving it power over USB... needs actual computer on the other end :/ | 22:03 |
| mikkov_ | ShadowJK: yes, the actual product page says microusb | 22:03 |
| mikkov_ | ShadowJK: that's an official nokia accessory, so it should work | 22:05 |
| *** J_P has joined #maemo | 22:05 | |
| J_P | hi all | 22:05 |
| ShadowJK | I tried connecting official nokia cable between powered USB hub and phone | 22:05 |
| ShadowJK | it would only charge if there was a computer connected to the USB hub too, just power wasn't enough :) | 22:06 |
| ShadowJK | But that adapter should work well | 22:06 |
| J_P | people, a question about N900. N900 has really GPS receiver or just that GPS (AGPS) from celular localization? | 22:06 |
| Stskeeps | full gps like n810 | 22:06 |
| Stskeeps | probably a hell lot better though | 22:06 |
| Firebird | oh, thanks mikkov_, that looks like the N810 USB cable | 22:06 |
| derf | Well, it would be hard to go in the other direction. | 22:06 |
| esaym153 | installed maemo mapper, it says "seraching for gps" and then it stops searching and then starts searching again, repeat repeat... Been doing that for about 5 minutes I guess. That normal? I have heard it takes awhile to first pair with satellites but not sure if that is what it is doing... | 22:06 |
| Stskeeps | AGPS is not only celluar localization - it helps downloading almanacs and such | 22:06 |
| J_P | Stskeeps: thanks, do you know what is receiver, may be the best start III ? | 22:07 |
| ShadowJK | esaym153, oh I had that once when gpsdriver had crashed | 22:07 |
| J_P | SiRFstar III | 22:07 |
| J_P | N900 use SiRFstar III? | 22:07 |
| Stskeeps | J_P: a good guess would be looking at the kernel configs, even though they might not match the final HW | 22:07 |
| esaym153 | ShadowJK: um..so not normal? The gps icon in the task bar keeps appearing and disappearing... | 22:08 |
| ShadowJK | not normal | 22:08 |
| esaym153 | dang, the fix? | 22:08 |
| *** aloisiojr has joined #maemo | 22:08 | |
| Firebird | hmm, garage.maemo's terms of use is a 404: https://garage.maemo.org/legal/terms_of_use/ | 22:09 |
| ShadowJK | I think I did /etc/init.d/gpsdriver restart | 22:09 |
| ShadowJK | but you could just reboot the tablet I suppose | 22:09 |
| esaym153 | ty | 22:09 |
| *** user_ has quit IRC | 22:09 | |
| J_P | ShadowJK: do you have a n900? | 22:09 |
| ShadowJK | no | 22:09 |
| J_P | ShadowJK: ahh a lspci show devices to know what chipset is gps receiver | 22:10 |
| J_P | :-) | 22:10 |
| J_P | or a lshw | 22:10 |
| ShadowJK | There is no PCI bus on these devices | 22:10 |
| J_P | ShadowJK: so a lshw | 22:10 |
| ShadowJK | My guess would be that the GPS is connected to a rs232 port | 22:11 |
| J_P | ShadowJK: ahh internal (of course) connected via rs232.. right | 22:11 |
| J_P | maybe | 22:11 |
| ShadowJK | That's how it is on N810 | 22:12 |
| J_P | or just a chip (arm) that is a SoC with gps receiver together processor | 22:12 |
| J_P | humm | 22:12 |
| ShadowJK | not together with processor on n810 | 22:13 |

| *** Free_maN has joined #maemo | 22:19 | |
| aol_ | I'm sure it's not sirf | 22:22 |
| aol_ | nokia uses their own GPS | 22:22 |
| J_P | aol_: humm you know what is specifcation ? | 22:24 |
| J_P | aol_: or, is good as srf? | 22:24 |
| J_P | srif | 22:24 |
| J_P | sirf | 22:24 |
| aol_ | not nearly as good | 22:24 |
| Stskeeps | well, in n810 it was exceptionally crap | 22:24 |
| Stskeeps | i can only imagine they improved it :) | 22:25 |
| ShellEvil | Is it a NMEA output - or is it a software-aided GPS? | 22:25 |
| ShadowJK | aol_, I didn't even know they had their own gps | 22:25 |
| Stskeeps | ShadowJK: NMEA output according to specs | 22:25 |
| ShellEvil | Rolling your own GPS is a lot easier these days. | 22:25 |
| Stskeeps | err, -> ShadowJK | 22:25 |
| ShellEvil | There are lots of chipsets out there. | 22:25 |
| aol_ | atleast S60 has NMEA output | 22:25 |
| Stskeeps | .. -> ShellEvil | 22:26 |
| * Stskeeps fails. | 22:26 | |
| J_P | Stskeeps: why crap ? what's happen to be a crap ? | 22:26 |
| johnsq | Stskeeps: time for bed? | 22:26 |
| ShadowJK | hm, what's the format that gpsd outputs? | 22:26 |
| aol_ | Nokia does the GPS mostly in firmware | 22:26 |
| aol_ | where sirf is complete chipset with processing | 22:27 |
| Stskeeps | johnsq: can't. have to pack. moving tomorrow. | 22:27 |
| aol_ | so that's why nokia can have GPS on virtually every phone over 80 euros | 22:27 |
| ShellEvil | The downside for GPS - on host CPU - is that it's a binary blob. | 22:27 |
| ShellEvil | At least often. | 22:27 |
| ShellEvil | Which can have compatibility issues. | 22:27 |
| ShadowJK | Nokia N95 seems to have a TI GPS chip | 22:28 |
| Stskeeps | so was n810 | 22:28 |
| ShellEvil | There are about 3 or 4 levels of 'software GPS' | 22:28 |
| aol_ | yeah I have no idea on the details | 22:28 |
| J_P | ShadowJK: if n900 has same gps receiver that n95, so is good.. | 22:28 |
| aol_ | but ofcourse they use _some_ chips, and they manufacture none them selves. but sirf is the complete route from antenna to NMEA output | 22:29 |
| ShellEvil | Going all the way from a chip that only does the absolute bare minimum - and gives you an 18 megabit bitstream of samples - that you then have to extract all the information from. To chips that lock onto satellites on their own - and just output the semi-raw output. | 22:29 |
| *** r2d2rogers has joined #maemo | 22:29 | |
| ShellEvil | Then you have chips which basically output completely cooked NMEA | 22:29 |
| Woolly | does anyone here like soda? | 22:30 |
| ShellEvil | Not inside phones. | 22:30 |
| *** jnettlet has quit IRC | 22:31 | |
| Luke-Jr | Stskeeps: the N810 GPS is only crap because of the blob and (possibly) the antenna... | 22:31 |
| Woolly | because of the blob | 22:31 |
| Woolly | that sounds like a cult 60's sci-fi classic | 22:31 |
| johnsq | Woolly: the bold wan't in the 80's? | 22:31 |
| johnsq | /bold/blob | 22:31 |
| * ShellEvil sighs. | 22:32 | |
| Woolly | oh it was actually a film | 22:32 |
| * ShellEvil was involved in a project to opensource the blob in the Openmoko GTA01. | 22:32 | |
| ShellEvil | Which got to the point of detecting satellites and their approximate relative velocity. | 22:32 |
| Luke-Jr | ShellEvil: want to help with GPS5300 reveng? :þ | 22:33 |
| ShellEvil | And then stalled as it was announced that the same chip (which coincidentally is in the iphone) wasn't going to be in the GTA01 | 22:33 |
| johnsq | Woolly: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Blob you are right 1958 | 22:33 |
| Luke-Jr | J_P: N810 had the same GPS chip as N95, but the blob makes it suck | 22:33 |
| ShellEvil | GPS5300? | 22:33 |
| *** Andy80 has quit IRC | 22:33 | |

| ShellEvil | Ah. | 22:33 |
| ShellEvil | Luke-Jr: not really - I was interested as I had one. | 22:33 |
| J_P | Luke-Jr: what is blob ? | 22:33 |
| ShellEvil | J_P: a program with no sourcecode | 22:34 |

| X-Fade | Luke-Jr: Be realistic a bit. This is the best piece of kit anyone can get at the moment. | 23:00 |
| fiferboy_ | sivang: Are you running that command from within the X86 scratchbox rootstrap? | 23:00 |
| Stskeeps | there's HW hacks to make it internal, too | 23:00 |
| Luke-Jr | X-Fade: realisticly, that Samsung OmniaPro looks nice | 23:00 |
| ShadowJK | But on touchbook you could have it internal without hacks :) | 23:00 |

| Woolly | I wish I was a little bit taller | 23:01 |
| Stskeeps | since you don't seem to mind paying the premium for more open stuff.. | 23:01 |
| Luke-Jr | X-Fade: one person can't make a successful port | 23:01 |

| fiferboy_ | sivang: You need to run sb-menu and go to "select" and select FREMANTLE_X86 | 23:01 |
| X-Fade | Luke-Jr: Well, don't complain here. Trolling won't give you a lot of volunteer either ;) | 23:01 |
| Luke-Jr | Stskeeps: premium? SmartQ are cheaper, and OmniaPro looks at least about hte same as n900 price | 23:01 |

| lcuk | and make it work | 23:04 |
| javispedro | re | 23:04 |
| Stskeeps | Luke-Jr: sigh.. :P | 23:04 |
| fiferboy | sivang: Re-login and then switch toe X86 should work | 23:04 |
| suihkulokki | trouble is, they usually get bored with the project when they get userland running :P | 23:04 |
| Luke-Jr | heh | 23:04 |
| ShadowJK | Omnia and OmniaHD seem to have MSRP of about 600 and 650 compared to N900 MSRP of 500 :) | 23:04 |
| Luke-Jr | suihkulokki: you're including all the hardware in that? | 23:05 |
| lcuk | suihkulokki, scratching an itch | 23:05 |
| Stskeeps | Luke-Jr: AFAIK samsung's are just as closed, ignoring the leaked docs | 23:05 |
| javispedro | suihkulokki, possibly because then people start complaining about horrid battery life, nil wi-fi performance (or inexistant) instead of cheering at the videos of kernel logs on lcd. | 23:05 |
| *** n6pfk has joined #maemo | 23:05 | |

| Luke-Jr | Stskeeps: I like leaked docs that I have no legal restrictions on implementing. | 23:05 |
| sivang | fiferboy: oh chees, I need to do the same setup on the X86 target | 23:05 |
| fiferboy | sivang: Yes. You can copy the line from your ARMEL sources.list | 23:06 |
| Stskeeps | Luke-Jr: you'd be much better off on X86 it sounds like.. | 23:06 |
| Stskeeps | because yes, that platform hw is documented .. | 23:06 |
| X-Fade | Luke-Jr: Let's have a game. You start with that Samsung and you let Stskeeps do his Mer thing. Then we come back next year on this date and compare how far you both got. | 23:06 |
| slonopotamus | Luke-Jr, why arm at all, btw? | 23:06 |
| javispedro | x86, documented? | 23:06 |
| Luke-Jr | slonopotamus: because ARM is most common? | 23:06 |
| javispedro | hah. | 23:06 |
| Luke-Jr | X-Fade: Stskeeps has more free time | 23:06 |
| Stskeeps | err.. no | 23:07 |
| lcuk | X-Fade, not fair, stskeeps has already spent a year proving Luke-Jr's assumption wrong | 23:07 |
| X-Fade | Luke-Jr: Excuses already. | 23:07 |
| slonopotamus | Luke-Jr, so what? just recompile for different cpu | 23:07 |
| zerojay | Lol | 23:07 |
| lcuk | and look at oh how far he has come! | 23:07 |
| suihkulokki | Luke-Jr: that varied ofcourse, most pda's never got all drivers, but many did (in the javispedro style:P) | 23:07 |

| *** ArSa has quit IRC | 23:07 | |
