Maceri bet 9/10th of the human population couldn't tell you what os their phone runs00:00
Macereven iphone users :)00:00
SpeedEvil1Well - given that most don't have a phone...00:00
* Macer rephrases00:00
Maceri bet 9/10ths of the human population which have phones couldn't tell you what os their phone runs00:01
Macereven iphone users :)00:01
* Jaffa beds00:02
RST38hShadowJK: Isn't that good?00:02
ShadowJKthe n900 delay must be delayed because of the "joikuspot and sims2 doesn't work" bugreports ;)00:02
RST38hso, are we gonna wait until j2me works there?00:03
RST38h'cause sims2 ain't gonna work otherwise00:04
ShadowJKhehe00:04
hardakerWas there an official announcement about an n900 delay, or is that speculation?00:04
* |R pissed, again...00:04

ShadowJKhardaker: someone told someone over the phone00:06
hardakerAh, I'll call someone and tell them then.  that'll make it official ;-)00:06
* gunni thinks N900 is only delayed, because they want to be sure that "Duke Nukem'Forever" will run on the device SCNR00:06
saltsa_what's the qt support in the maemo 5? Does it have it?00:06
RST38hthere are last minute hardware changes00:06
* ShadowJK would doubt00:07
MacerRST38h: fail00:07
RST38hI suggest you start voting for those fremantle-x86 packages right away...00:07
hardakermaybe they're adding a quad 3G band.  that'd be my hope and I'd wait ;-)00:07

Macerhardaker: att should die00:07
Macer:)00:07
Macernokia is just helping them along00:07
hardakerMacer: I agree.  but then, I think that about them all.00:07
Macerof all the companies to survive why couldn't att go under00:07
hardakerwhy is it we have 4 carriers and still have monopoly conditions?00:07
Macerhardaker: cable companies have always had a monopoly in areas00:08
Macerlike where i live i can only get comcast00:08
hardakeryeah, them too.00:08
Maceri never understood that00:08
RST38hhardaker: Because whoever owns the tower dictates the rules00:08
Maceri wonder if someone tried to install a new cable system.. could they?00:08
*** aakashd has left #maemo00:09
hardakerRST38h: I agree, as it should be, but when 4 companies have towers how come it feels like there is no competition?00:09
Maceri bet there are municipal laws that prevent it00:09
hardakerMacer: yes, but it'd be very expensive.00:09
Macerhardaker: well.. comcast did it ;)00:09
RST38hhardaker: because there is no competition00:09
Maceror at least they sucked up the smaller companies that did00:09
hardakerand even if you wanted to, you'd be foolish to do anything but raw fiber at this point.00:09
RST38hhardaker: it is not the number of companies that determines competition or lack of it00:09
Macerhardaker: i don't know. for home lines copper still seems to do the trick00:10
RST38hhardaker: it is the cost of entry into the market00:10
RST38hand currently, that cost is in the range of $shitload of money00:10
MacerRST38h: well. depends00:10
pupniki wish someone would hack n8x0-n8x0 video calls - preferably direct client to client00:10
hardakerRST38h: It's obviously not the #.  But the theorists say an # >= 2 means competition.  the cell phone industry has proved that theory wrong.00:10
Macerif it were me i'd set up a local sat comm link and slowly start moving cable around a very small area00:10
hardaker10 cents for an SMS.  geezze....00:10
Macertrying to break a little over even to eat :)00:11
pupnikeh i think 9 cents here if you get fonic prepaid00:11
RST38hhardaker: Which theorists?00:11
Jaffazerojay: you need to upload a screenshot to http://maemo.org/downloads/product/Maemo5/classic-gaming-wallpapers/ (log in, page > edit, screenshots at bottom of page)00:11
hardakercapatalist theorists.  "let the market decide"00:11
RST38hhardaker: Just because you have got more then 1 monopolist does not mean you have go competition00:11
*** tonikitoo has quit IRC00:11
hardakerI suspect all the CEOs of the 4 companies have each other on speed dial for a group conference.00:11
RST38hhardaker: Competition is when somebody else can enter the market and create competing service00:11
hardakeror when an existing service can undercut another to gain market share.00:12
wjtpupnik: n8x0 to n8x0 video calls? like the ones they do?00:12
RST38hhardaker: they are not interested in that00:12
*** Woolly has quit IRC00:12
hardakerwhich they can do.  They could all cut (continuing my example) SMS messages down to 1 cent and make a huge profit still and cut out the other carriers, but they don't.00:12
*** Woolly_ is now known as Woolly00:12
pupnikwjt well what's the app name i'm missing00:12
RST38hhardaker: price wars usually hurt everybody on the market00:13
wjtpupnik: Click on a contact, pick call, and then turn on video (which is a button on the N810, and I think you just pop the camera out on the N800)00:13
RST38hhardaker: So, it is way more often a price fixing pact of some kind00:13
wjtpupnik: (works on jabber and google talk, and i think maybe sip)00:13
hardakerRST38h: that's what I've been betting on.  A pact.  it's the only thing that makes sense.00:13
RST38hhardaker: A price war means that all four companies will end up with lower prices and thus lower margins00:14
RST38hhardaker: So, no sane established company will start a price war00:14
acidjazzthe n900 is a fake phone invented by nokia marketing for popularity strategics00:14
RST38ha newcomer might, but there are no newcomers00:14
acidjazzprobably to raise stock before a buy00:14
hardakeryes but the motivation to start one is too high.  you sign up everyone else in the market for a 2 year agreement for cheap rates and you've won.00:14
hardakeranyway, sorry for ranting.00:15
hardakersigh.00:15
RST38hyou have not won00:15
hardakernext lets talk about healthy food choices in resturants with no hidden calories ;-)00:15

ShadowJKdo you get 6 hours out of TB?01:09
Macerwell.. probably around 801:10
Maceron a full charge01:10
SpeedEvilIs that battery life when stuck to the outside, or inside of the refrigerator?01:10
Macerthat is when it is attached to the battery kb01:10
Macerthe tablet itself probably lasts 2 hours :)01:10
SpeedEvilWhat's the all-up weight again?01:10
Maceri don't know01:11
Maceri'd say 3-5lbs?01:11
Macerdon't have a scale though so i couldn't tell you01:11

Macerjavispedro: oh i'm sure01:16
Maceri know cpufreq isn't working on it (afaik)01:17
Macerwhich i am sure will just require a new kernel hopefully01:17
Macerif cpufreq was working and sleep modes worked properly i am sure it can easily last 15+ hours01:17

SpeedEvilno02:24
SpeedEvilA) Some of the required hardware is too slow on the 81002:24
SpeedEvilB) Some of it is binary components from nokia02:24
SpeedEvilMer should gain more traction on the n900 when it's released - which is open-source - and elements of that can be backported - but, it won't be maemo502:25
absolutei hear a lot of n8x0 users around here referred to Mer when they ask such questions.. but i don't know if that's applicable or of interest to you02:25

CutMeOwnThroatis it likely something happened to the hardware? dmesg shows lots of "mmcblk1: error 1 sending read/write command end_request: I/O error, dev mmcblk1, sector 0".... about what you'd expect for a broken disk or a broken disk interface02:38

GeneralAntillestimeless, it feels like steps 1-4 are 1-4 and step 5 is about 20.02:38
CutMeOwnThroatyeah... with the card inside, it didn't boot at all at first, now it does, but the removable and internal card are invisible when the removable card was inside during boot02:39
SpeedEvilSounds doubleplusungood.02:39
SpeedEvilDid you drop it?02:39
WoollyCutMeOwnThroat: try reseating the card, and giving it a magic blow. that worked for me :D02:40
CutMeOwnThroatbefore plugging the card in, I also saw some "disk full" messages which seemed to be for the internal storage02:40
CutMeOwnThroatWoolly, already tried that02:41

CutMeOwnThroatSpeedEvil, well, yes, actually I did drop it a couple of days ago, but not before it stopped working02:41

SpeedEvilI'd wonder about small cracks in the PCB doing stuff. Unfortunately there isn't an easy fix.02:43
CutMeOwnThroatperhaps I switch it off for a longer timespan02:44
CutMeOwnThroatSpeedEvil, you might be right - it crashed when I removed the memory card...02:44
CutMeOwnThroatthat might have been the push on the board that opened a microcrack just that little bit more02:45

Firebirdcode177, not really, you could process thumbnails, then update the progress bar in the same frame06:16
code177cant do that with python without threads afaik06:18
Firebirdeh? you can't run one function after another in python?06:18
code177not and have them run simultaneously06:18
code177i could be wrong06:19
Firebirdyou don't need them to be simultaneous.... store a variable with the current progress, thumbnail processor sets it to processed/total.... progress bar uses fraction.. tada, a moving progressbar while the thumbnails are going06:21
lcukcode177, im as guilty as you for thumbnailing, but "tracker" does thumbnailing itself06:22

GeneralAntillesYeah. :\06:44
zerojayNot javis's fault by any means, but when you can't even fly with Mario in SMB3 because of the frameskip being so high, it's a major playability issue.06:45
zerojayAnd playing with a wiimote on top of that is so much worse.06:46

mgedminRST38h: duplicate of https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5343 ?14:28
mgedmin"This has been fixed internally very recently. Not yet part of 1.2009.41-10."14:29
mgedminand since the original bug is RESOLVED, people don't find it in searches and keep reporting dupes14:29
RST38hmgadmin: Ah! You shouldn't have gone to lunch so early =)14:30
mgedminspeaking of themes and bugs, select the orange theme, go to app installer app list, select an app (so that its background bar is orange) and hold your tap until you get a popup menu14:30
RST38hmarking as duplicate14:30
mgedminthe popup menu has rounded black corners with sharp orange spikes14:31
RST38hthat is known14:31
mgedminI was unable to take a screenshot14:31
RST38hpopups and original gtk+ menus do not do transparency or shapes14:31
mgedminapparently popup menus block ctrl+alt+p14:31
RST38hmgedmin: same occurs if you create a traditional gtk+ menu14:31
mgedminthis is one area where X.org sucks: have an app open a popup (and therefore grab the X server), then have the app freeze14:31
RST38hthey are not shaped windows14:32

RST38hApplication Manager theme bug: #571514:40
X-Fademgedmin: Did you check if it does that in other apps too?14:41
mgedminyes, fbreader's diablo-styled menus too14:41
mgedminnote that with the app mgr it's a bit finnicky: the corners are sometimes black and sometimes orange14:41
mgedminand the item in the faded-out background sometimes has an orange bar and sometimes black14:41
mgedminand sometimes the color of the corners doesn't match the color of the background bar14:41
mgedminbut that's not really relevant14:41
mgedminbug is: rounded menu corners aren't transparent14:42
mgedminRST38h: your bug is different, I think14:42
mgedminhttp://mg.pov.lt/app-manager-blue-orange.png <-- do you mean there should be no traces of orange on that screen?  or no traces of blue?14:44
mgedminI don't remember what the app manager looks like with the blue theme14:44
RST38hmgedmin: it should be either orange (like th etheme says) or blue (if it is fixed) but not both14:45
RST38hmgedmin: with blue theme it is blue blending into blue background14:45

RST38hWell, think of it14:45
RST38hYou are using the orange theme, rright?14:45
mgedminyes14:46
RST38hSo you would normally expect the app manager screen to be in the same colors as the rest of the theme14:46
RST38hYes, it is violet for some reason14:46
RST38hLet us say, just for once, that it SHOULD be violet14:46
*** sopi has joined #maemo14:46
CorsacViolets are blue14:46
RST38hIn this case, you would expect the glow around the icons to be also violet or blue or something like that14:46
RST38hYet in your image the glow is orange, like the theme says I guess14:47
RST38hSo, something is wrong there14:47

* mgedmin ducks and hides14:48

Shapeshiftercrashanddie: I just looked at these images, and they're good mostly because of the photographer. but if you look at the "Large" version of the butterfly for example, which is 1024x576 (and as such e.g. too small for a desktop wallpaper), you can already see smudges everywhere17:32

Shapeshiftercrashanddie: I'm not too familiar with flicker to be honest, but it says "original size" at the top. now this doesn't mean it's original compression rate as well, but that's what I'm guessing, as the image is released under CC. http://www.flickr.com/photos/tigert/3947290860/sizes/o/ Also, I didn't know there was anything to improve. If it's the algorithm at fault, then I'm looking forward to any better results. But in such a small device, ...17:44
Shapeshifter... the sensor is really, really tiny, as is the lense and the amount of light getting in... I was assuming that this is as good as it can get with current sensors.17:44

crashanddieShapeshifter: the encoding is horrible, the sensor is better. If you look at the right corner of the picture I posted, you can see clearly those are sloppy encoding errors that appear (and because I can't keep the phone steady), not due to a lack of light. I'm not saying it'll ever be an SLR, just saying you shouldn't slam something so harshly, especially when you *know* it has potential17:48
Shapeshiftercrashanddie: oh btw, I got my initial impression of the quality from the my-symbian review, where I'm pretty sure that he used the highest quality settings available with that firmware. And e.g. this picture http://my-symbian.com/other/grafika/n900_pic1.jpg doesn't look so good. I have no idea if this is down to the algo, but the clouds look unreal, as does the sand, and everything is grainy.17:48

Dieterbe_anyone here with a n900? i attached it with usb to my pc as block device, and now i'm copying some music files to it with 'sudo cp -ax /path/to/music /n900mountpoint/.sounds', and now my mediaplayer tells me i have 0 songs, and filemanager says 'no files or folders' so it looks like permissions are incorrect now or something but i don't know how/why23:11
qwerty12_N810Dieterbe_: Does File manager crash when you go to to the Sound clips folder?23:12
microlithhmm23:12
microliththat AlmostTI app is cool and all but isn't distributing the ROMs still a no-no even if they are ancient?23:12
Dieterbe_qwerty12_N810: file manager says 'no files or folders' and i can't do anything else. media player says 'no songs' when i click on the songs icon23:12
epa_Dieterbe_: what are the permissions that N900 sees?23:13
epa_ctrl+shift+x -> terminal23:13
epa_ls -l .sounds23:13
qwerty12_N810Dieterbe_: I had something similar but I couldn't figure it out, so I just reflashed :/23:13
mgedminDieterbe_: have you unmounted the device from your PC? and unplugged the cable?23:13
microlithwhy are they putting music in a hidden directory?23:14
TomaszDepa_ where can I get a list of those shortcuts?23:14
mgedminonly one computer can access a block device at one time: either the N900 or the PC23:14
mgedminmicrolith: so they can translate the directory name into various languages23:14
mgedminor some stupid reason like that23:14
*** mlpug has quit IRC23:14
mgedminTomaszD: the other one is ctrl+shift+p = screenshot23:14
epa_TomaszD: http://www.maemo-guru.com/2009/10/nokia-n900-keyboard-shortcuts-galore/23:14
Dieterbe_mgedmin: no its still mounted. epa_ it says no such folder .sounds (in /home/user). i'll try to umount maybe this is some protective thing when you mount over usb23:14
epa_TomaszD: or manual I guess23:15
mgedminI don't think there are any more, except for ctrl+shift+backspace = task switcher23:15
GeneralAntillesmicrolith, i18n23:15
microlithGeneralAntilles: ahh, ok23:15
mgedminerr, no shift in ctrl+backspace23:15
TomaszDmgedmin I know about this one :)23:15
TomaszDthanks23:15
mgedminokay, and then in the browser there's ctrl+shift+i to enable reflowing text when you zoom in23:15
mgedminnobody expects the spanish inquisition, sigh23:16
epa_I think ctrl+shift+x was somethere in the forum23:16
