*** romaxa_ has joined #maemo00:02
MohammadAGDuring install, the FM Transmitter Daemon will be patched to query the fmtx-faker daemon on the "allowed state". It will be unpatched on removal. It can be (un)patched on request by invoking fmtx-faker-tool in an X Terminal.00:02
ml-N900andre__: ok00:02
MohammadAGwhere the fmtx is not allowed obviously :)00:02
lardmanagainst the law in Greece so I heard00:02

Jef91svanheulen: haha fact. Win-mobile is one of the only things worse than normal windows02:22
svanheulenthe thing that makes no sense to me at all is that they've had 4 version of win mobile (2003, 5, 6, 6.5) and they still don't have a built in screen lock while your in call02:22

svanheulenonly problem with the email app and imap is that it wont delete things from the server if you delete them on the device07:38
AakashPatelit does for me lol07:39
svanheulenthat's been fixed for the new firmware though when it comes out07:39
Jef91anyone know if I run "dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -b -uc" if I can pass an argument into the ./configure it runs?07:39
rohanpmJef91: I think only if debian/rules is explicitly coded to allow it07:41
Jef91hrm kk07:41
Jef91I might just side step it and use checkinstall to make the .deb then07:41
pupnikcan you log what works and what doesn't Jef91 ?07:42

Jef91This is really odd07:45

*** svanheulen has quit IRC07:46
Jef91Yea that will happen07:47
jzais there a way I can fix this, I got most of my permissions on my user and group, but the UID is looking for is different from the one I have now07:47
Jef91run a "chown user -R /home/user"07:47
Jef91run that as root07:47
*** ali1234 has joined #maemo07:47
jzaJef91: I did that, but still doesnt work07:47
Jef91As root?07:47
Jef91That should do it...07:48
Jef91and di you have the -R?07:48
Jef91did*07:48
jzaJef91: yes, and it does show up as the user... but the error is that still looks to the previous UID from the user07:48
jzawhat I did is that I change the UID07:48
jzathe files always belong to the user, but I change the UID of the user to 500 and problems started even if it always belonged to user07:49
Jef91Why did you change it may I ask?07:50
jzabecause my external harddrive had 50007:50
jzanow I can write on my external harddrive but I cant on my home... I didnt imagine something like this will happened07:51
jzabecause it was the same user nevertheless07:51
Jef91the name is meaning less07:54
Jef91why not just chown the harddrive?...07:54
Jef91Also may I inquire what kind of cable to use to hook an external HDD into your N900?07:54

luke-jrI can, but I'm unpopular for doing so.09:08
luke-jrif you mean licensing your own stuff tho, hire a lawyer :)09:08
rkc:)09:09
luke-jrso what needs clarifying exactly?09:10
*** juergbi has joined #maemo09:10
rkcjust tell me.. can I develop a software for maemo platform using the available sdk's and tools here and sell it?09:10
tybolltIANAL09:10
luke-jrrkc: yes*09:11
rkcbut what si the benefit for nokia for providing sdk's and tools?09:12
pekujarkc: huh?09:12
luke-jrrkc: they think it improves their platform09:12
pekujarkc: what's the benefit for Microsoft for providing SDK's and tools for Windows?09:12
luke-jrmore apps = more customer demand09:12
luke-jrpekuja: Microsoft sells it09:12
rkccool..09:12
luke-jrrkc: note that the free software community strongly believes in a right to sell software09:13
pekujaluke-jr: yeah they also sell tools, but most of the SDK's can be used with 3rd party tools09:13
luke-jrpekuja: not WinCE AFAIK09:13
pekujaluke-jr: do they? I thought they believed in a right to sell services09:13
luke-jrpekuja: nobody is stopping services either :)09:14
*** t_s_o has joined #maemo09:14
pekujaluke-jr: well ok then. anyways I was just making the point that Microsoft provides developers with some free SDK's so that they would make Microsoft's platform better09:14
pekujaluke-jr: well I mean, you can't really sell free software09:14
luke-jrpekuja: the LGPL and GPL specifically prevent any terms forbidding sale09:14
pekujaluke-jr: I thought FSF's stance was that you don't sell the software itself09:14
luke-jrpekuja: wrong09:14
luke-jryou can sell free software09:15
luke-jrFSF recommends selling it at the highest reasonable price09:15
luke-jrhttp://www.gnu.org/philosophy/selling.html09:15
luke-jr"Actually, we encourage people who redistribute free software to charge as much as they wish or can."09:15
pekujaah, right, yes09:15
rkcif u develop a software using some modules which has GPL license, can u still sell them??09:15
luke-jrrkc: yes, but the whole software must be GPL licensed09:16
pekujayou can sell software, but I would really call it a service, and not actually selling the software09:16
luke-jrrkc: eg, you must include the code and give your purchasers the same rights09:16
rkccool09:16
pekujabecause your software will be available from other sources if it's free09:16
luke-jrrkc: and make them aware of their rights09:16
luke-jrpekuja: not necessarily09:16
pekujawell you can't really prevent it09:16
rkcso.. types of license just says what are the things or rights to be included.. selling is completely different from licenses.. is that right__09:16
pekujarkc: yeah, basically09:17
luke-jrrkc: right.09:17
rkcthat means.. u can almost sell all your work with proper licensing terms..09:17
luke-jrrkc: just be aware that the rights your customers inherit include the right to resell copies of their own09:17
pekujarkc: but basically when you sell the software to someone, you need to give them the right to take that software and sell it themselves, or put it on a website somewhere09:17
rkcand ofcourse follwoing teh terms09:17
luke-jror post it gratis, that too09:17
luke-jrrkc: right.09:18
rkcgreat guys..09:18
luke-jrrkc: if you want to forbid verbatim copying, you can even include trademarked artwork09:18
luke-jrthen a copy must provide its own replacement09:18

ali1234when you recover the alsa stream (clear XRUN condition) pulse creates a NEW sink10:20
pupnik_O_o10:20
*** warp10 has quit IRC10:20
ali1234the massive amounts of context switching this involves destroys system performance10:20
tybolltlucent: I have these wallsocket -> USB A chargers10:20
ali1234so if you are running an emulator that can't quite keep up with sound10:20
tybolltlucent:  I then hook a two-three meter extender A male to A female on it10:21
ali1234 then pulse will make sure to steal 50% CPU time from you creating and destroying sinks10:21
pupnik_ali1234: +++++10:21
lucentali1234: thanks for the reconnisance10:21
ali1234so, to make emulators run good, make sure you NEVER underrun the buffer, even if it means writting zeros into it if you can't keep up10:21
tybolltlucent: and on that I hook a A male to micro10:21
tybolltthat works really well for me though10:22
lucenttybollt: well there's some resistors and stuff involved to get the charger and (I think more importantly) the load a.k.a. N900 to draw applicable currents10:22
ali1234and i discovered this because emulators on ubuntu on my new quad core phenom II system do exactly the same damn thing10:22
tybolltthough I haven't measured that amp10:22
ali1234(see my youtube channel for the video)10:22
lucentali1234: very nice informations thank you10:22
lucentI'm not a developer for this platform but I really value your input10:23
lucent=)10:23
lucentali1234: any thought as to a solution?10:23
ali1234lucent: yeah, just make sure the buffer is always filled10:24
lucentthat sounds like a hack though kind of10:24
ali1234yeah10:24
ali1234it is10:24
ali1234you'll have to implement interpolated sound10:24
ali1234or just write zeros which is effectively what happens if you let it underrun, anyway10:25
pupnik_you dance good ali1234 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6NozEGUTu410:25
lucentali1234: know of an upstream bug for this?10:25
ali1234lucent: i don't think it is a bug10:26
ali1234it's probably considered a feature10:26
lucentreally all that context switching and stuff should be a performance bug10:26
ali1234i dunno, i'm still investigating10:26
ali1234i will report it upstream if it hasn't been, and see what they say10:27

RST38hWell, he did apparently get unauthorized access to internal Nokia stuff, but AFAIK that was not the main issue13:16
tybolltwhat was indeed the main issue?13:16
RST38hHim talking out of his ass, antagonizing lots of people, then claiming that they are all "geeks" and he is some kind of uber technology god13:17
meceEldarl he pissed off the maemo community by thrashing th N900. He had a phone with the reboot issue, so I understand why he didn't like it. It was all very unfortunate for everyone.13:17

SpeedEvilIt diddn't with me.16:48

*** gomiam has quit IRC16:49
odin_the charge circuit should at least be able to both power the device and minimally charge the battery (leading the internal battery logic to protect itself)16:49
SpeedEvilIt doesn't.16:50
SpeedEvilThe device - internally - relies on the battery being present to supply power.16:50
SpeedEvilIt can never run off USB alone.16:50
SpeedEvilAs I read the docs.16:50
SpeedEvilIt will take some time for it to wake up enough to boot once deep discharged16:50
odin_the charge system should always work and the power button should always be responsive (if there is enough power in the batter to switch on)16:51
odin_so the default drained battey state is that you leabe it plugged into charger long enough you will have enough power in batt to switch on16:51

*** matt_c has joined #maemo16:52
odin_but it seems possible to have the N900 not charge up, even when flat and plugged into charger, which means its never responsive to power button no matter how long you wait (this is a design fault and not how other nokia phones work)16:52

cehtehwell any since my charger is damaged, i can use usb charging only :/16:53
odin_yes I get that, I leave it for 3 mins with orange LED, now I press power on button, the orange LED goes white (but it does not complete the full bright white with vibration), it flashes dim white for a few seconds, from this point on the LED stop working16:54

*** johnq has quit IRC20:17
Jef91smhar very good. I should have it up and running by then thehehe. Maxima is very nice, almost as good as Maple IMO20:18
blizzowsmhar: I had the N97 and disliked it a lot. I complained to Nokia enough that they offered me an N900 as a replacement for the N97.  It's the best move I ever made.20:18
flux|r, I really hope they would also have a better stand in the new back cover, but I guess it's not likely20:18
blizzowDo yourself a favor and drop the n97 under the sea.20:18
arachnistJef91: well, getting a N900-alike phone, but with a matte screen and a red nipple right next to the screen would be interesting20:19
Jef91Thehehe, what I would love is something with the Nexus One specs that ran on Maemo20:20
arachnistnexus one is a no-go for me. it lacks a hardware keyboard20:20

DocScrutinizer51you got N900. What more do you need?20:21
Jef91DocScrutinizer51 - an app store and a firmware update?20:22
DocScrutinizer51app store?? eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek20:22
arachnistapp store is a must-have to make the phone mainstream20:23
pupnikany of us could set up an app store20:23
Jef91DocScrutinizer51 - Even though I would not use it, in order to gain market it needs an App Store20:23
Jef91people expect it20:23
arachnistexactly20:23
Jef91And once they come for the app store20:23
Jef91they will stay for the free software20:23
Jef91and eventually forget about paying for stupid shit20:23

Jef91arachnist Its one of the worst OSes out there20:24

*** angasuleWork has joined #maemo20:24

arachnistin winter, temperatures here actually drop well below 0C20:25

*** k-s is now known as k-s[AWAY]20:26
DocScrutinizer51using a pinpoint stylus is the killer advantage of r-ts20:26
arachnistwell20:26
arachnistthe only use for a stylus for me, is to get the back cover off20:26
blizzowIf I hand my girlfriend my phone, she can't figure it out because she doesn't like to press the screen.  I'm mixed about capacitive.  I like to use less pressure myself, and would like to see multitouch capabilities too.  But I also use it in cold weather and with gloves.20:27
RST38hglass: apparently, local metrosexuals are forced to operate iPhones with their noses in winter =)20:27
arachnistblizzow: don't worry. nokia has a patent on resistive multitouch20:27

konttorianyway, we were all the time waiting for legal ok to use nokia music store to provide album art23:02

konttorithe google downloader was ever just an example. sad that it was never made to use the json api.23:04

hrw|R: 1.0 was first production release (42.11), next one is now named PR1.1 (will be 51.1 which now is month old), etc23:23
wirelessdreamerwhat solutions have ppl here taken to the pathetically small root partition on the 900, just filled my up =|23:23
tigertkonttori: "do you know?" "no, I dont know"23:23
konttoriBut, it opens some doors (e.g. SSU capability to PR1.1)23:23
LuciusMare_n900wirelessdreamer: dont bloat their tablet23:23
LuciusMare_n900for example23:23
hrwkonttori: I want one simple bugfix - s/closed/GPL/ in calendar23:23
wirelessdreamerits not their tablet, its my phone23:23
fluxwirelessdreamer, restart the device (after releasing some space)23:23
|Rhrw: and it's an apt-get update type of upgrade?23:23
wirelessdreamerand I have basic apps installed23:23
LuciusMare_n900or you can *try* to repartition23:23
fluxwirelessdreamer, there's a bug that causes certain installations consume space that's recovered after restart23:23
VDVsxkonttori, 1.0.1 == 51.1 ?23:23
konttoritigert: then I just hope you are wrong ;)23:23
hrw|R: in Diablo it was. did they managed to do that in maemo5... no idea23:24

LuciusMare_n900wirelessdreamer: me too, i am at 75 and i have a lot of other apps23:24
tigertno, I didnt say "not possible", rather just "no idea"23:24
hrwVDVsx: obsolete anyway23:24
tigertkonttori: see priv23:24
konttorihrw: what canno you do with calendar?23:24
LuciusMare_n900such as supertux,vim,wgwt,nmap,netcat...23:24
fluxwirelessdreamer, additional solution: stop installing that much stuff from extras-devel, or stuff that is not not optified ;)23:24
DocScrutinizer51LuciusMare_n900: (repartition) huh? you can try to symlink /usr and /var to /home23:24
wirelessdreamerLucisMare_n900: have any links to docs on repatitioning it?23:24
Anideland how long after pr1.0.1 to pr1.1 ? :)23:24
|Rhrw: ok :) ... hopefully the kernel and all is upgradable without a reflash as it was supposed explained before it came out23:24
DocScrutinizer51LuciusMare_n900: (0.2) :-((23:25
LuciusMare_n900?23:25
wirelessdreamerflux: I don't have that many from extras-devel . . . just important stuff ;)23:25
ShadowJKi think the symlink didn't work23:25
hrwkonttori: this tool is CRAP total CRAP... look at simple bugs which were send for it... probably even I would be able to fix some of them without knowlegde of GTK+23:25
Caesiumrelease of 1.0.1 is not encouraging :(23:25
Caesiumthat says to me that we have so long to wait for 1.1 release, they're doing one in between to fix the serious stuff23:25
DocScrutinizer51ShadowJK: yup. seems like it failed23:25
VDVsxkonttori, 0_o and you guys will release it into public having 51.1 in god shape, strange23:25
wirelessdreamerflux: thanks reboot after delete helped23:25
LuciusMare_n900(0.2) ?23:26
hrwVDVsx: thats nokia... you expected sanity?23:26
pupnikfunny how getting hired by nokia makes you a target for flames ,J23:26
DocScrutinizer51ShadowJK: though I'm not completely sure it was due to elementary issues rather than a wrong procedure23:26
konttorihrw: what tool?23:26
konttoriVDVsx: you cannot safely SSU from 1.0 to 1.1.23:27
konttoribasically for a random end user, the free space need for safe update would have been over 70 megs of free rootfs.23:27
Anidelkonttori, and you know more or less how much time then before 1.1 ?23:27
Anidelnote: more or less :)23:27
hrwkonttori: calendar23:27
LuciusMare_n900can i set the connection meter (measuers how much data has been downloaded) so it resets every month?23:27
konttoriand the 1.0.1 fixes issues related to that. And a bit more.23:27
Caesiumit makes / bigger? ;)23:28
konttorihrw: ah, you mean, you don't like how it's implemented and would like to fix the UI?23:28
konttoriwell, I can understand that.23:28
VDVsxkonttori, ah right, sorry :p23:28
konttoriand for that, I cannot do probably much. But, I'll check with the developers if it would be possible to opensource the UI23:29
konttori(most likely not)23:29
DocScrutinizer51LuciusMare_n900: possible path: dbus-monitor; reset; find dbus msg that does the reset; create cronjob for dbus-send23:29
konttoriAnidel: most likely less, but who knows. Just look at the 1.0.1 week number23:29

*** LuciusMare_n900 has quit IRC23:53
wirelessdreamerbut bounce ships with the n900 and says in the package manage it takes up over 20 megs, so if I remove a package that it ships with that says it takes up 20 megs and I remove it, I should have another 20 megs free in /23:54
wirelessdreamerI call that a built in bug23:55
DocScrutinizer51actually for my thinking the reset dbus msg belongs to system dbus as it isn't associated to a particular user23:55

T7gwirelessdreamer, bounce does not install to /23:55
johnq_Is cornelius hald here?23:55
T7gnothing should install to / except libraries and unoptified programs23:56

ShadowJKthat so many apps consume space on / and not on the space reserved  for them, is a bug23:56
T7gHow much space ya got left wirelessdreamer ? df -h? (Also you need to reboot after installing x amount of programs because of a known bug with the gtk icon cache)23:57

pupnikdcim23:58
T7gCaesium, you can do that with a bind mount, but you cannot do it with a link, you'll brick your device23:58
jebbagah23:58
T7gand you still have to leave the original /usr there, and just have a copy that you bind mount over it.23:58
DocScrutinizer51Caesium: that's exactly what ShadowJK mentioned a few minutes ago23:58
jon1012Sargun: as root: "ifconfig usb0 10.20.10.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up" for example23:58

Sargunjon1012, On the n900? Is there any way I can make it get an automatic IP on boot-up?23:59
jebbai created a 100M partition on the external card to shut up when i boot up, and it's putting the images there :(23:59
Caesiumso core stuff that it needs is still there, but anything put there after the bind mount goes into opt23:59
jon1012Sargun: yeah on the n900... and you can do same on computer23:59
T7gCaesium, It's been done, but the mmc is supposedly a hell of a lot slower than the / partition (on it's own chip)23:59
Caesiummight run into issues if an update is applied while the bind mount is up23:59
ShadowJKjebba: pick use internal card in camera preferences?23:59
