*** jabis has joined #maemo00:39
VDVsxdunno, just joking00:39
VDVsxthey patented "slide to unlock", so...00:40
javispedrothe good news is that if apple does it we can rest assured devices to come for the next years will have it (and more buttons is _always_ a good thing)00:40
VDVsxthey are using that patent against Nokia and HTC :D00:40
ptlhow long until patent law blows up and dies?00:41
RST38hSo, no slide-to-unlock in the next tablet/00:41
RST38h?00:41
javispedrobtw, moo :)00:41
RST38hptl: Well let us make bets: patent law or health system?00:41
RST38hjavis: moo indeed00:41
*** rsalveti has quit IRC00:41
RST38hptl: which one goes first? =)00:41
VDVsxRST38h, probably the N900 has to leave the US market, since has slide to unlock, lolol00:42
VDVsxsame for a couple of droids00:42
VDVsxso silly00:42
derfThey've been working on HCR since the early 90's.00:42
derfWhile efforts to reform patent law are just starting, and going in the wrong direction.00:42
*** zs__ has joined #maemo00:42
ptlRST38h: :( always the weaker00:42
RST38hVDVsx: there is US market for Nokia phones?00:42
javispedro"Nokia Asks Judge to Dismiss Apple's Antitrust Claims" :)00:42
RST38hHmm...Modest already managed to create a folder on my newly inserted sd card00:43
VDVsxvery wrong direction when someone can patent great inventions like slide to unlock00:43
javispedro"he most recent move comes from Nokia, who seeks to dismiss Apple's antritrust claims using pretty much the same arguments Apple used to counter Psystar's antitrust claims."00:43

VDVsxmy favorite patent is the one that tries to patent "patent trolls" :D00:45
VDVsxawesome00:45
ptlis it possible to have an analogue for the GPL in the patent world?00:46
RST38hVDVsx: Well, as this wonderful system is starting to intefere with large corporations' business, it will probably get reformed in the next 10-20 years00:46
ptllike 'you can't patent that idea and its derivatives, but you can use as you will'00:47
nid0and whod use it?00:47
RST38hVDVsx: Nobody gives a shit about Joe the Innovator, but when it comes to Microsoft or IBM or Google...00:47
ptlnid0: whoever wants it00:48
VDVsxI think they can't sue you if use their patents in OSS projects and don't sell anything00:48
nid0no company is going to design things and patent them with a "use this for free" patent00:48
Piooo i think they can00:49
ptlIBM did something like that00:49
RST38hderf: I will believe in HCR once it is completed and a person will be able to walk into a hospital and get care, without losing their life savings in a week00:49
ptlmade some patents available for public use00:49
nid0yeah they probably threw 4 or 5 simplistic patents into the wild to look good for PR reasons00:49
ptlanyway, they did.00:50
RST38hderf: before that it is bullshit and the competition of patent law vs health care stands ;)00:50
VDVsxhere's the patent of all patents :D :http://boingboing.net/2008/11/17/halliburton-tries-to.html00:50
nid0could you imagine the income an IP company like nokia would lose by making their patents freely usable?00:50
nid0not a chance00:50
VDVsxprobably will be accepted :D00:50
ptlit's better than nothing and tells us there is something wrong with patents00:50
Pionid0, they just lose their ability to countersue apple :)00:50
javispedrowhat we need is clearly, a patent, patent-testing and patent-stable set of repositories.00:50
nid0and make money from every other mobile device manufacture on the planet00:50
javispedros/patent-stable/patent-devel (how could I get that wrong?)00:50
nid0whats 1 lawsuit when every other mobile there is is paying them royalties00:51
nid0mobile company*00:51
*** z4chh has quit IRC00:51
Piough i try not to think about it.. it just hurts my head00:51
VDVsxnid0, well, as long they don't patent things like slide to unlock00:51
RST38hoh cooool ovi maps found me00:51
Arif_where were you?00:51
ptlpatent-granting, patent-pending and patent-applied would be more appropriate, don't you think?00:54
ptl*patent-granted00:54
RST38hArif: Outside of the range for which I downloaded maps offline00:54
Arif_aww00:54
Arif_just download whole EU00:54
RST38hArif: Why would I need EU?00:54
Arif_US then?00:55
ptlI tried to use ovi maps these days00:55
RST38hWhole US is a 1.1GB ZIP00:55
ptlI can't understand it00:55
* RST38h just got the states he expects to visit00:55
ptlreally00:55
Arif_that's not too big00:55
ptlit's so different from the regular GPS programs00:55
ptltried mapper also00:55
ptlno better00:55
RST38hyes, it is fucked up00:55
RST38hWe all kinda know that already though00:55
*** Jophish_n900 has quit IRC00:56
ptlBut I know why Sygic didn't make it into Ovi Story00:57
RST38hnot yet at least00:57
ptlit's due to the fact that Ovi Maps will be greatly improved on PR 1.2 and will trump Sygic maps!00:57
RST38hThe best mapping program for N900 is Maep at the moment00:57
ptlso nokia is avoiding the shame of sygic00:58
ptlmaep???00:58
RST38hIts only drawback is that you have to predownload manually by browsing the map. Not a very good idea00:58
* RST38h is still hoping that someone will write a Python script that predownloads Maep data00:58
ptlit says it's simple00:58
ptlis it better than mapper?00:58
RST38hyes. it works.00:58
RST38hmapper does not, right now00:59
ptlmapper might be complicated but it has many features00:59

ptlin that case, use absinthe.01:10

* RST38h [notes to himself] No Yandex maps for Maryland.01:10
ptl(absinthe - the best drink ever)01:10

*** fnordianslip has joined #maemo01:13
ptlWith real absinthe, you can't really really become alcoholic in short term, it's expensive and it has to be drunk following a ritual, it's better with people around and it is more of a social drink. Also, you have to dilute it on water to taste it like it should - the essential oils it has only become active (and make themselves be tasted) when the alcoholic degree decreases.01:13
ptlok, too offtopic01:13
RST38hthis sounds like a drug addiction01:13
ptlsorry01:13
threshnothing is too offtopic in a middle of friday night01:13
RST38hso, no, it won't be *called* alcoholism01:13
ptlyeah, that's thujone, absinthe even has an active ingredient whose psychoactive effects are not yet well known01:14
ptlI even bought a thujone addictive for my absinthe from China.01:14

cjard_(accepted that any security or encryption could be broken by reading my program's source, but..)02:24

redim trying to mount a samba share on my n90002:28
redi installed smbclient atlready02:28
redand created an ssh tunnel to my home network02:28
redi can see the share with smbclient -L address/share -U username -> supply password and hit enter02:28
Robot101javispedro: on the desktop telepathy uses gnome-keyring - maemo 5 doesn't have a secure password store :/02:28
redany ideas  how to continue from that,02:29
Robot101javispedro: it should be better in harmattan, we've made pluggable account storage backends now02:29
redclearly it can see the share but i've no idea how i could add it somewhere so i can access it properly :)02:29
javispedronot that I actually need anything more secure than plaintext :)02:29

nid0"Ford has recognised that setting up wireless systems in cars need to be accompanied by improved security features. Encryption will be used to protect the WiFi network, with firewalls used to segment the vehicle's operational processors from entertainment and information systems."02:30
RST38hAh sweet Ford invents encrypted WiFi!02:31
SpeedEvilPlaintext+thermite.02:31
nid0is it just me that thinks having a car's operational side connected to the entertainment side thats then connected to wifi, whether firewalled or not02:31
nid0is bloody stupid?02:31
javispedrowhy does it need a firewall? what will the firewall do?02:31
RST38hSpeedEvil: thermorectal cryptoanalysis?02:31

Arkenoii think it is the sole reason it still had not - people think no one needs it in 2d02:42
RST38hOn the other hand, the Tentacled One approves: "New research shows that the advantages of HDTV aren't lost on octopuses. A recent study on octopus behavior made the upgrade from CRT sets to HDTVs for the playback of octopus-related videos, like one of a tasty crab."02:43

redsince samba isn't in the root, cause its MyFiles and Printers04:39
reddamned windows way :P04:39
javispedrobecause of gcc's arm target's default unsignedness of chars, the font renderer was reading every offset_x value as a unsigned char, thus reading a offset_x value of "-1" (which makes sense) as "255" (which causes letters to randomly scatter along the screen)04:40

Triztjohnx; maybe metalog, not sure never use it myself, source package is just 27645009:11
johnxthanks09:12
johnxI'll check it out09:12
Trizthttp://metalog.sourceforge.net09:12
johnxneed to make 64MB go as far as possible if I'm going to have a comfortable user space :)09:12
* Trizt nods09:13
luke-jris metalog actively maintained again?09:13
Stskeepsjohnx: busybox circular syslogd09:13
Triztluke-jr; no clue, it's still in portage09:14
johnxluke-jr, last release was less than a year ago09:14
johnxand it was version 1 so ... maybe?09:15

johnxinteresting note: in mac-land ctrl+w is "delete one word" and in linux land it's typically "close tab or window"09:36
johnxah, nevermind: they use busybox syslogd which doesn't even accept configuration ... maybe I'll pass on that09:37
pgasctrl-w is usually delete one word in a terminal09:37
johnxyup. and in emacs. and in firefox on the mac09:38
johnxhowever, no matter how much I train myself I still screw up from time to time09:38
johnxespecially funny is that I use synergy to hook this linux box and the mac directly to its right together and share one keyboard between them both09:39
luke-jr"delete one word", "close tab or window"... SAME THING DUH09:39

lucentwhat program can produce such nonsense10:45
LuciusMarethen what meta information does flac use?10:45
*** pupnik has joined #maemo10:46
lucentflac is flac.  You can store ID3 or OGG tags I suppose in a block10:46
LuciusMareI assumed from this description of tag editor: "Can edit id3 tags in mp3, flac and many others"10:46

lucentjohnx: cell data icon is not there10:56
lucentI can't connect, or reconnect, so I cancelled the attempt to retry10:56
lucentthis is every day thing, if I were to reboot the phone, it would connect to cell data immediately no problem10:57
johnxbut it can make calls and send SMS in this state?10:57
johnxdoes it tend to happen in a specific location? or at a specific time?10:57
lucentI just called voicemail and it worked correctly, I cannot check SMS10:57
lucentjohnx: One example of when it happens is when I am inside a movie theater where I work, and I walk around with the phone and it loses data connection10:58
pupnikempires end because they expand the empire and bankrupt the country - Ron Paul10:58
lucentit would not be able to reconnect, so I would reboot my phone to make it work again10:58

*** dvoid_ has joined #maemo11:04
lucentDocScrutinizer: I don't understand, I have internet service with T-Mobile and no 3G service in my area, so I use it for web browsing11:04

lucentDocScrutinizer: it's a fact I've gone to flight mode and then back, it does not connect the cell internet again11:13
johnxalso, I have a feeling flight mode doesn't unload that module11:14
lucentsince my issue is a daily kind of thing, I can recall having done this a few times to try to work around11:14

johnxcan't think of anything you did differently that couple weeks? using/not using some feature? different location?11:27
DocScrutinizerlucent: one last idea: you ever tried to force the modem to 2G mode?11:28

lucentI had these tools always, though11:29
johnxyeah, but I'm thinking anything. Remember, it's a whole system on one chip11:29
DocScrutinizerchances are the modem somehow locks up in 3G in areas where 2G is weak and 3G not even applicable11:30
johnxbluetooth, fmtx, letting the battery run down more often, being near different towers11:30
lucentDocScrutinizer: interesting then11:30

johnxit seems like apt is actually confused12:07
johnxI'm trying to figure out why12:07
lucentI'm reading this from an old Debian GNU/Linux install, it's like a path of /var/cache/setup-tool-backends/debug with permissions root.root 00012:07
fureddojohnx, Ok.  See you later.  Or another day then.12:08
johnxall the dependencies look satisfied, but it's still insisting it won't install12:08
lucentboggles. my. mind.12:08
johnx'later fureddo12:08
johnxmaybe an easy way to prevent it getting grepped? or executed?12:08
lbtlucent: many tools will consider permissions12:08
lbtso eg root running vi on a non-w file12:09
lbtvi will ask "are you sure"12:09
johnxor ... maybe the debian guys had something to hide from the local root user?12:09
lucenthar12:09
johnxprobably a map to hidden treasure12:09
johnxor terrorist plans12:09
johnxor a terrorist treasure map12:10

Funnyface"- the biggest downside for 2G is that a data connection is suspended when taking a call, but is resumed afterwards. so you wouldn't be able to check email/surf during a call, if you need to do that" hmm I never experienced that with my winmo phone..14:52
ShadowJKRST38h, the reply is "maybe" everytime someone prods them14:52
ShadowJKFunnyface, the real answer is more complicated than that14:53
ShadowJKThere are some devices that have two 2g radios, one for managing calls and one for managing data. Then there's a way for devices with one radio to do both voice and data on the same channel, which N900 supports, but very few operators support it.14:53

Anthro16Ah, whats the next one called?20:04
ShapeshifterV13: I doubt there will be a next device anywhere before q2 201120:05
V13i guess there will be an announcement at Sep 201020:06
Shapeshifteralthough all this is speculation ;)20:06
V13mine too :)20:06
ShapeshifterV13: well that's an accurate guess :P20:06
V13but i don't believe nokia has the choice of not having a good high-end phone for so much time20:07
ShapeshifterV13: the n97 is their high-end phone20:07
Shapeshifterand maybe there will be a followup20:07
Shapeshiftern900 is a tablet20:07
V13IMO, all android phones are superior to all nokia's phones (except n900 :-)20:07
V13and they have many apps.20:08
DrGrovV13: but need a gmail account :(20:08
Anthro16im concerned about plan costs though, can i use the n900 with only wifi?20:08
DrGrovAnthro16: yes you can. i did it last night without any problems.20:08
pupniksho nuf20:08
pupnikAnthro16: gps lock will be slow/dicey probably20:09

Milhouseanyone familiar with Ultimate Ears headphones and know if those with call handling will work on the N900?20:10
Anthro16hmmm, pupnik, gps isnt much of a concern for me.20:10
V13pupnik: cellular-data are most probably the best thing that happened after 802.11...20:10
V13drgov: me neither. but it is still better than n97...20:11
DrGrovV13: don't say that so my fiancee hears, she got my N97 last night when I got the N900 :)20:11
DrGrovV13: but I will fix it for her through service so it will eventually get good20:11
V13:)20:11
V13pupnik: I find the social part of n900 *VERY* strong. Being always online to chat accounts is great. I've stopped using sms.20:12
DrGrovMilhouse: I would suggest some really good bluetooth handsfree, Nokia made. you need music as well or just talking?20:12
pupnikagree with V1320:12
DrGrovV13: i have the problem still that i need the sms for many reasons.20:12
Milhousemainly music, but would like call handling as well. my Shure E2Cs just died on me so looking for an upgrade... was thinking of these... http://www.ultimateears.com/_ultimateears/store/products/triplefi10vi.php20:13

DrGrovShapeshifter: should I take a backup *now* of the N900 when I got the contacts, apps, settings and so spot on perfect?20:33
ShapeshifterDrGrov: yeah why not. the restore thingy works surprisingly well. btw, note that when the next update comes out, and you don't have enough space on rootfs, it will just tell you that "you have to connect your n900 to your pc and stuff", although that is not true. You just need to make enough room on rootfs to install it on-the-fly. Well, it that update supports that kind of update20:34
Shapeshifterin any case, it just tells you to reflash it entirely if there's not enough space on rootfs, instead of just saying "please free x mb on rootfs".20:35
DrGrovShapeshifter: so it would mean if i now take a backup when i have every contact, app, setting under perfect control it is perfect time to restore it then later when i have got a new firmware update?20:38

Arkenoibtw there are two versions of coreutils (from different repos?), which one is better?23:21
pwnguini think one is busybox, and the other is gnu23:23
pwnguinthe default should be busybox23:23
pwnguinand it depends on your needs as to which is better23:23
pwnguinif you need something lightweight23:24
pwnguinand dont use the terminal much, busybox is fine23:24
DragnslcrWhere does the media player store its playlists? I figure editing it by hand is going to be easier than trying to remove files through the GUI23:24
