DocScrutinizer~optification00:16
infobotmethinks optification is a inventive duct tape workaround to reclaim space in fs root, done due to the fact the partitioning is FUBAR, or http://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/Maemo_5_Developer_Guide/Packaging,_Deploying_and_Distributing/Installing_under_opt_and_MyDocs, or ""OMG - I wish somebody had looked into FHS and moved /usr to eMMC"", or http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#PURPOSE2 bullet one, two00:16
ShadSEC2Doc, do you currently have that way implemented on your phone?00:20
ShadSEC2moved the /usr I mean00:20
*** svu has joined #maemo00:24
DocScrutinizernope, as this requires editing the system init files, which in turn may break my system any time on arbitrary updates via SSU00:27

ShadSEC2Docscrutinizer I havent checked that but, aren't those ssu's very infrequent? and couldnt you just check what it will be affected beforehand?00:35
ShadSEC2btw, there are lots of binaries in usr that really should be on fast media (ie Xorg)00:36

DocScrutinizerShadSEC2: (fast media) It seems to me you're mixing two things: ELF on fast storage, and the loaded program's execution speed. Those are largely unrelated. Esp X I'd guess is just loaded to ram *once* and then it's mostly as irrelevant as it gets how far the storage is where the X ELF had been01:20
*** marciom has quit IRC01:20
*** hannesw has quit IRC01:20
ShadSEC2docscrutinizer  time for full boot is important01:21
DocScrutinizerooh really?01:21
DocScrutinizermore important than a clean rootfs with some free space?01:22
ShadSEC2you mean it wont really matter loading Xorg from emms than unifs?01:22
ShadSEC2probable there wont be much difference on second thought01:22
*** ioan has left #maemo01:22
DocScrutinizerexactly for X i'd guess it will slow down boot by maybe 2s and doesn't matter at all during normal operation01:23
ShadSEC2I fully agree that there needs to be a solution that avoids the absurd optifying thing01:23
*** hannesw has joined #maemo01:23
DocScrutinizerprobably less than 2s01:23
*** TomaszD has joined #maemo01:24
ShadSEC2for me, whatever the solution that solves it, its ok... everything will be better than me having to do most of the stuff on a chroot to dont break base os01:24
ShadSEC2and also the availability of apps would improve LOTS01:25

DocScrutinizerfor really time critical executables that for whatever reason must stay in /usr/bin and can't go to /bin (which is stll / !) you can have a symlink from /usr/bin to any arbitrary folder on NAND (how's about /opt :-P ), which would keep the executable on same "fast" storage it is now. No reason to keep whole /usr on NAND and symlink 2/3 of the files to /opt because on NAND there's just no space01:30
DocScrutinizerlet's call it "speedification" :-P01:30
kerioDocScrutinizer: why would you need something like that01:31
DocScrutinizeron contrary to ptification you need to speedify only very few selected pkgs01:31
*** bleader has joined #maemo01:31
DocScrutinizerkerio: I don't. ShadSEC2 does, it seems01:31
kerioi'd say we abuse /usr/local/01:32
kerio/usr/local/ on NAND, /usr/ on eMMC01:32
DocScrutinizerlike what?01:32
ShadSEC2Docscrutinizer, but doing that, unless it is done and supported by nokia, its complex enough to be prone to "compability" (ie breakage) problems01:32
DocScrutinizerok, feasible01:32
kerioi'm still not convinced that packages should need to be on the NAND01:32
ShadSEC2need? not01:33
keriowtf are you running01:33
DocScrutinizerShadSEC2: see my post some 30 lines above01:33
keriothen it's meaningless01:33
keriohave the executables you need to boot on /bin/ and mount /usr/ from the eMMC01:33
*** Smily has quit IRC01:33
kerio/home/ should be another partition on the eMMC, btw01:33
kerioand drop that MyDocs crap01:33
*** ToJa92 has quit IRC01:33
ShadSEC2Yes, you say it is not needed to "speedify" and probably you are right01:33
*** GNUton-BNC has quit IRC01:34
*** GNUton-BNC has joined #maemo01:34
*** larsivi has quit IRC01:34
DocScrutinizerall faintly time critical binaries are preloaded anyway, and fixed to RAM so they won't swap out (another thing that needs review)01:35
keriowith what? the sticky bit?01:36
kerioi thought that never worked on linux01:36
ShadSEC2I think MyDocs crap is because nokia thinks all user stuff should be available for direct mount on windows by usb01:36
DocScrutinizerit's not sticky bit, it's some other special thing I forgot about01:36
kerioShadSEC: well that means that nokia is full of shit, isn't it01:36
*** igagis has quit IRC01:36
keriothere were a thousand better ways to do that01:37
*** perlite has quit IRC01:37
*** marnanel has quit IRC01:37
ShadSEC2yep, but they dont really intended this to be truly open, i guess it was just a side effect...01:37
keriohuh? it's the successor of the N8x001:37
kerioit was never meant to be a phone for users, come on01:37
*** marnanel has joined #maemo01:38
*** perlite has joined #maemo01:38
keriothe user niche of the n900 are hardcore lunix users who want a cool, powerful toy with linux to hack and watch cat videos on youtube01:38
kerio(oversimplifying)01:39
kerio*on01:39
ShadSEC2well, if they intended it, they failed in things could have been done better for that01:39
keriowell of course they did01:39
kerionamely, the optification, the fact that mydocs is vfat, bme, pulseaudio (and the binary filters)...01:39
*** obsidieth has quit IRC01:40
*** X-Fade has quit IRC01:40
ShadSEC2I lost 3 days just trying to figure out how to manage wlan0... and even if I have, it has been having to accept i2d and wlancond are really in control of it... that's not what I would name OPEN01:41
kerioand it's *still* the best smartphone/tablet on the market...01:41
kerioso shame on you, Nokia01:41
ShadSEC2for the mydocs being vfat is not so bad01:41
kerioshame for making such an awesome device with this stupid, stupid bugs01:41
wmaronevfat is about the only truly cross platform filesystem, sad as it is01:41
keriowell, not exactly bugs01:42
keriowmarone: sshfs is cross platform01:42
ShadSEC2in my tests, mounting loop files barely adds any overhead in comparison to directly mouting a partition01:42
kerioand open01:42
wmaronesshfs isn't available by default on Windows01:42
ShadSEC2you still have the image size limit though01:42
keriowho cares01:42
wmaronekerio: I do01:42
Robot101wow01:42
*** X-Fade has joined #maemo01:42
ShadSEC2and yes, it is the best smartphone/whatever in the market01:43
keriowmarone: so download psftp01:43
DocScrutinizerRobot101: :-D01:43
wmaronewhy, when wifi is slower than USB transfer?01:43
ShadSEC2my only choice.. and in fact it is as near to perfection that precisely that is what bothers me more... with just a few flaws being corrected it would be01:43
keriousb networking01:43
Robot101DocScrutinizer: I remember why I quit this channel :P01:43
wmaronenot supported by default on windows :P01:43
DocScrutinizerRobot101: it's not really bad01:44
DocScrutinizerthey just got their 5 min01:44
DocScrutinizerRobot101: I had my 5 min before01:44
kerioi'm just mad at nokia :(01:44
Robot101DocScrutinizer: yeah but when I'm in bed on my N900 and I get tempted to join in... :P01:44
DocScrutinizersays enough about quality and usability of device :-)01:45
Robot101fine to read nonsense on irc and /part - not good enough to try and speak sense - seems to make my life better imo :)01:45
DocScrutinizerRobot101: ...so stay with us a bit longer, it'll get better soon :-)01:46
*** FIQ has quit IRC01:46
Robot101I'll sleep on it :D01:46
Robot101'night01:46
keriodid i scare him away? i didn't mean to do that :(01:47
DocScrutinizerRobot101: I suggested to fix the eMMC VANILLA image file so it only flashes /home partition while leaving VFAT untouched01:47
*** pyther has joined #maemo01:48
DocScrutinizerthis would allow to ship rootfs COMBINED with matching /opt binaries (or whatever you call the directory then)01:49

AirBendera new model (may be the word succesor doesn't exist XD)02:12
SpeedEvilThere are various assorted new models of phone - but nothing really a direct successor.02:13
DocScrutinizerrumour has it there'll be a N902:14
AirBenderok02:14
AirBenderseems to me that nokia still doesn't make a bet for maemo devices02:15
DocScrutinizerbut not anything to hold your breath and keep your purse closed, if you consider getting a maemo phone02:15
AirBenderor meego...02:15
AirBenderso N900 still the best maemo phone for some time...02:16
DocScrutinizeryep02:16
*** BCMM has quit IRC02:16
AirBendertoo bad...02:16
DocScrutinizernah, just good enough02:16
AirBenderare you in europe?02:17
mavhkswitching to meego's slowed them down a bit, plus apparently the hardware people pick what OS they want to use inside nokia, not the other way around02:17

DocScrutinizerAirBender: why? need a cdma phone?02:18
AirBenderI was preparing myself to buy an N90002:18
AirBenderthen I checked the broadband bands available in N90002:19
AirBenderand end of story02:19
AirBenderI needed 1900 MHz02:19
AirBenderand it has 170002:19
DocScrutinizereeek, third world aka USA?02:19
AirBenderthird world aka Southamerica very similar to USA in spectrum usage02:20

AirBenderyes, but I want HSXPA02:21
DocScrutinizeryup, then you are quite out of luck02:21
AirBenderunfortunately02:21
DocScrutinizerbuy expensive proprietary crap build to order for Chile carriers02:22
AirBenderI'm waiting for a new >= N900 device with different modem02:22
AirBendermay be it's just better to wait for something LTE02:23
DocScrutinizerunlikely there'll ever be any. GSM Cert is expensive, and if it's a smal market and also a niche product02:23
DocScrutinizerLTE might come, in a few years, yes02:23
SpeedEvilAlso for various reasons, multiband is getting cheaper02:24
SpeedEvilwhich can help02:24
DocScrutinizerand also Chile might decide to do their own proprietary nonstandard thing once again02:24
DocScrutinizerSpeedEvil: you always need to do the cert for 1900 UMTS separately, which will cost $$$$$($)02:25
mordviva Chile02:25

TiagoTiago_would it be possible to tune the N900 camera to not show dark bands when shooting a CRT screen?03:58
SpeedEvilGenerally not.03:59
SpeedEvilThe problem is that much of the light of a CRT is emitted immediately as the electron beam strikes it.03:59
SpeedEvilWhat may work is using fcam04:00
SpeedEvilset the gain to minimum04:00
TiagoTiago_i mean tune the timming so it opens the "shutter' when the screen starts to be scanned, then closes when it finishes, and the dark band is always between frames04:01
SpeedEvilDoesn't work like that04:01
SpeedEvilThe CRT is continually painted from top to bottom.04:02
TiagoTiago_isn't the dark band the period between the last pixel and the first pixel?04:02
SpeedEvilIf you look at it in any 1/1000th of a second interval, you'll see one bright horizontal line, with the rest of the picture comparatively dim04:02
TiagoTiago_i know04:03
*** merlincorey has quit IRC04:03
SpeedEvilThe rolling shutter on the camera will also not typically 'roll' at exactly 50/60hz per screen height04:03
*** kwtm has quit IRC04:03
*** brik has quit IRC04:03
*** merlincorey has joined #maemo04:03
TiagoTiago_but the dark band isn't when  the last line is scanned and the first is about to be?04:03
TiagoTiago_hm04:03
SpeedEvilIt's an interaction between the rolling shutter, and the brightly illuminated line04:03
SpeedEvilTry for example taking a pic rotated 90 degrees.04:04
TiagoTiago_rolling scan, i see04:04
TiagoTiago_you can't have all the lines of the sensor sensing at once04:04
SpeedEvilThe rolling shutter on the camera has a certain number of lines 'active' at once.04:04
SpeedEvilThese are all integrating light, for the exposure time that is desired.04:05
SpeedEvilIf the frame is read out in 1/5th of a second, is 1000 pixels high, and you need a 1/500th second shutter.04:05
SpeedEvilThen initially lines 1-10 are enabled, and allowed to expose for 1/500th of a second. Then line 1 is read out, and line 11 starts exposure.04:06
SpeedEvilEvery 1/5000th of a second, another line is read out, and another starts exposure.04:07
SpeedEvilFcam may be adequate - if you turn the brightness down - if you can - or use a neutral density filter - sunglasses may work - and turn the gain down with fcamera - ISO.04:08
SpeedEvilI don't have a CRT plugged in ATM, so I can't play.04:08

TiagoTiago_so far my tests with Fcamera seems to indicate it's higly dependent on the position of the camera (or the screen in relation to the camera), a setting that keeps the screen fully painted also makes it completly dark if you tile the camera jsut a tad04:12

johnxif it actually works, then no, I don't see a reason, because it means they made specific provisions to let it run without the battery04:51

TiagoTiagolol10:50
ieatlinteverything is janky and feels like a hack10:50
mavhkthat's because desktops from 2002 are about as powerful as mobiles10:50
ieatlintnah, not quite10:50
ieatlintbut it isn't a processing power issue10:51
* jpinxN900 has his N900 hooked up by ssh over usb to a laptop and everything runs ok:)10:51
ieatlintexcept perhaps some of the hacks are done to try and save battery or similar10:51
psycho_oreosthe issue there is nokia switching over to BL-5J for n900.. the battery is relatively smaller compared to its predecessors. Makes you wonder why10:52
jpinxN900probably a weight issue10:52
ieatlintobvious guess is size issues10:52
*** pupnik_ has quit IRC10:52
*** th3hate has joined #maemo10:53
mavhknow everyone's making 4" phones, nokia could have lead the way, and sold even less n900s10:54
psycho_oreosI wouldn't think of either.. 1) it has lower battery capacity rating 2) because its a new battery, the battery itself is harder to source. Thankfully me younger brother owns x6 and I can see that it uses the same battery as n900, so when it comes to battery sourcing I could also refer x6 or people would get confused over n90010:54
*** zap has joined #maemo10:54
TiagoTiago_btw, would it be ok to optify microB?10:54
psycho_oreoshopefully n9 will be nokia's revenge tact from their linux on phone device side. n900 generally itself hasn't been too bad but it still remains as a highly geeky device (requires tinkering and general acceptance for what its worth) for users/owners to maintain ownership of a device after 6 months `novelty period'10:57
TiagoTiago_I want Nokia to release a N900 G2 , learning from the mistakes made with the N900 and fromt he feedback from the community etc, but still a N90010:58

TiagoTiago_:(11:00
*** IcanCU has joined #maemo11:00
ieatlintmy guess is the discussion going on is whether to really move on this meego thing, or start looking at android11:01
TiagoTiago_that would be better than going Windows but still not good11:01
kerioandroid sucks balls11:01
ieatlintit sells though11:02
ieatlintand nokia needs a selling product badly11:02
TiagoTiago_it probably mostly the hype from being from Google plus general marketing11:02
psycho_oreosieatlint, I'd personally vouch the versa, symbian has been predominantly on the nokia's standard devices and it could also partially be one of the reasons why nokia is earning revenue. Alas the issue is not only that.. judging by the new CEO has some close ties with Microsoft (being ex- and what not) he would probably be inclined to see symbian as being the major OS for phones (because symbian does have some similarity to windows on phones)11:02
mavhksymbian will be the new dumbphone os, meego the new smartphone os11:03
mavhkprobably should rename them cheapphone and expensivephone11:03
ieatlintpsycho_oreos: no doubt symbian is one of the biggest money makers for nokia11:03
ieatlintmaemo is a footnote...11:03
keriomaemo is a toy11:03
mavhkieatlint: probably something even lower eg s40 makes even more money for them11:04
kerioeven corporations like toys11:04
ieatlintbut you can't keep sitting on a dying technology and adding patches and hope shit happens11:04
TiagoTiago_IMO, if they treat it properly, it's gonna be the new Symbian11:04
*** beford has quit IRC11:04
ieatlintnokia sales are down 40%.. and that's symbian sales11:04
TermanaDesireBut i don't think thats how they are positioning meego11:04
mavhkthere's a delay in n900 v2 because of meego merge11:04
kerion900v2?11:05
ieatlintadditionally, symbian was never able to get into the US market much11:05
kerionew rev?11:05
TiagoTiago_WAsn't it because Nokia didn't advertise much in the US nor tried to offer devices compativle with the technologies the carriers used?11:05
ieatlintintel is throwing a lot of weight onto meego, and if that materialises even for just netbooks, the name recognition could be good going back to phones11:05
psycho_oreosieatlint, and alas meego might also be following down the same path as maemo. That's what my main concern is.. because maemo lacked audiences when nokia only made maemo NIT it was seen as relatively a niche market for it to aim at. The n900 was their comeback for it as a phone with extra gadgets but that didn't fly well when linux on phone seems to be quite new for them. I'm just hoping the new CEO won't kill meego11:05
ieatlintTiagoTiago: they used to11:06
ieatlintthe nokia 6600 was heavily marketed.. was my first smartphone11:06
*** Termana has quit IRC11:06
ieatlintpsycho_oreos: yeah, it's a distinct possibility11:06
ieatlintwhich is why my bet is they'll head the android route if the new ceo tells meego to fuck itself11:07
ieatlinti think we will see a nokia meego phone, but it may be as niche as the n90011:07
TiagoTiago_Maemo/Meego has lots of potential, they just need to play their cards right11:07
psycho_oreosieatlint, its only a matter of time before the new CEO nominates the new market tactic.. if its `sink or swim' it'll be an end for nokia's linux on phone adventure11:07
kerionah, meego is now a joint project11:07
ieatlintand if shit doesn't shape up for meego in the next 6 months.. it'll be gone, at least as a nokia product, but likely as a product in general11:07
mavhkkerio: just whatever their next meego phone is11:07
keriopsycho_oreos: that would be the wrong thing though11:08
kerioi mean, the n900 didn't sell well for nokia, that's for sure11:08
mavhksymbian is still weird to program for, I hear11:08
TermanaDesireOther phone makers probably wont join MeeGo until they know its going to succeeded11:08
TiagoTiago_relaly? i thought it sold more than they expected11:08
keriobut it still helped them figure out wtf to do with a really-high-end phone11:08
TiagoTiago_really*11:08
TermanaDesireSucceed *11:08
psycho_oreoskerio, I know but my personal thoughts will be that, it'll be a hard and fast tactic for nokia as a whole to get back in touch with the rest of the world. Symbian has been on the forefront of nokia's tools and would be seen as heroic but not maemo because it lacked phone functionality as such11:09
TermanaDesireDamn autocorrect11:09
mavhkmaemo 5 is just not finished enough for mass adoption11:09
ieatlintTermanaDesire: well, intel has lined up a number of partners with meego (not so much for the handset profile, of course)11:09
psycho_oreosmavhk, symbian is and that's the reason why I hated its control tactics.. waited for n900 to come out locally and I got it11:10
*** mrmoku is now known as mrmoku|away11:10
TiagoTiago_IT kinda feels like they rteated the phonefication of Maemo as a hobbie project isntead of putting the company power into it11:10
mavhkn900 is a linux computer with a built in phone11:10
ieatlintif meego is on notebooks sold at common retail outlets, and in bmw cars, the name recognition for a nokia phone running it would be beneficial11:10

mavhksilly intel, getting rid of their ARM division11:12
ieatlintergh, intel had an arm division?11:13
psycho_oreosyes11:13
TermanaDesireIntel trying to use x86 in the mobile arena is not a good idea IMO11:13
*** mk8_ has joined #maemo11:13
ieatlintsomehow intel licencing cpu arch from another company seems... weird11:13
TiagoTiago_they used to make them, no?11:13
psycho_oreosstrongARM is what it was called before it was sold off to Marvell11:13
kerioARM is efficient, x86 is not11:13
keriothat said, i'll happily buy a n900 with an i711:13
mavhkyeah, DEC invented the strongarm, sued intel, somehow intel got their strongarm division11:14
psycho_oreosthough ARM requires cross compiling.. or specific arch compiling, x86 doesn't because it can be seen as `one suit fits all' type of approach11:14
ieatlintso long as you have SSSE311:14
keriopsycho_oreos: my server runs ARM11:14
TiagoTiago_the N900 is already a guzzler with it's current processor....11:14
TermanaDesireBut x86 is starting with a power sucking disadvantage over arm11:15
kerioTiagoTiago_: yeah, but those i7s are some dope shit11:15
TiagoTiago_lol11:15
psycho_oreoskerio, that's nice but you still have to compile stuff for armel more or less :)11:15
mavhkx86 is just a risc core with an emulator sucking battery power11:15
keriopsycho_oreos: yeah of course11:15
ieatlintcross compiling doesn't need to be that bad11:15
ieatlintalthough doing it in windows is a joke11:15
psycho_oreosI thought x86 was more of a CISC compared to RISC hence that's why ARM et. al. is winning over the x86 due to the lack of instructions and therefore overhead11:16
ieatlintbut the nokia sdk for the n900 is simple and decent11:16
TermanaDesireMavhk - that's actually a partial myth. I had a link on it discussing it the other day.11:16
*** hannesw has joined #maemo11:16
mavhkTermanaDesire: the 50% or the risc core?11:16
psycho_oreoscross compiling can be daunting for people who are unaware of the terms. I know of some people whom uses their n900 to compile stuff natively via chroot rather than using scratchbox environment on their PC11:17
*** avs has quit IRC11:17
TermanaDesireThe core I believe. Ill go see if I bookmarked the link11:17
mavhkthe only real reason to have x86 is windows nt11:17
ieatlinti think the other major issue with meego is that intel seems to be running it more (at least at the moment), and they kind of see the word ARM as a taboo, with slogans like "meego runs best with intel" (seriously)11:17
ieatlintthey're risking alienating their open source community base11:17
mavhkTermanaDesire: yeah, it's a massive simplification, but in general, x86 chips have power sucking hardware to convert x86 instructions into the actual stuff the cpu runs11:18
TiagoTiago_is it ok to optify flash?11:19
Stskeepsieatlint: nah, we're actually an equal participant (ARM) in meego, but you have to recall you went to a meegozone / intel event11:19
psycho_oreoswell Intel sold their strongARM division and focused on small x86 for embedded chipsets (hint: moorestown) it seems as though n9 would probably be seen as a likely possibility to have its cores and what not replaced by Intel's SoC solution11:19
mavhkobviously nokia saw that android beat them and they needed partners to compete, intel still thinks someone will make an x86 phone11:19
Stskeepsieatlint: same kind of slogans will come if ARM showed stuff :)11:19
TermanaDesireDidn't bookmark it but what your expanded explanation is basically what it said mavhk11:19
kerioandroid is iOS for the cheap11:19
ieatlintStskeeps: yeah, perhaps i'm really seeing things with a terrible bias at the moment11:19
ieatlintall i can say is the people who went coming from an intel background seemed leave just confused, and the people coming from the maemo background understood the presentations more, but also seemed just confused at the spin11:20
psycho_oreosI'm pretty sure the meego on ARM won't last long.. if anything it'll be released on either dev phones or initial batch before intel tries to push through their SoC for ARM-free device11:20
Stskeepsuhm..11:21
Stskeeps:P11:21
mavhkwin phone 7 is designed to complete with iphone 1, now 3 years later android's the more open platform and microsoft are behind again11:21
TiagoTiago_is it ok to optify flash?11:21
kerioandroid is still crap though11:21
Stskeepsieatlint: i've been along from day zero of meego ARM port, so i know what the state of the actual work is11:21
mavhkwhy kerio?11:21
TermanaDesireieatlint: my guess - nokia x86 device coming ;)11:21
kerioyou're just sucking on a different dick11:21
Stskeepspsycho_oreos: that's a weird theory11:21
keriogoogle's instead of apple's11:21
psycho_oreosright now the unreleased n9 still sports ARM which is rather nice but its still far too early to speculate on whether or not n9 will be using ARM core entirely or because of the joint venture, Intel would be seen as dominant in wanting to make their products fly11:22

ieatlintindeed11:26
TiagoTiago_Does Maemo uses Adobe Flash (like for interface, or decoding the hands video or somthing) or is it only used in web browsers?11:26

lcukhey debianites \o have a question:   supposing I download (via git or other) a source package and cd into its folder, is there a dpkg-* command for getting the builddeps, this of course assumes the source was not in the repository already.14:02
*** Termana has quit IRC14:03
lcuk^ that is not possible according to debian folks14:03
DocScrutinizer51perl makes my eyes bleed14:03
psycho_oreosI doubt it, I think dpkg-* requires sources with debian patches, namely a directory under the source tree to have debian/*14:03
rasterlcuk:  u mean just magically create a deb from ANY source?14:03
MNZlcuk, how about grep Depends debian/control14:03
MNZoh14:04
TiagoTiago_looking at those examples of perl code, it seems to me the language itself doesn't enforce obfuscated code, but it is flexible enough to allow twisted levels of it14:04
lcukraster, i want to run "make" on the package I just git clone'd14:04
MNZyou mean no debian/ ?14:04
lcukMNZ, sure14:04
MNZTiagoTiago_, exactly. Except all the hackers with their obfuscation are giving it a bad rep :(14:04
rasterlcuk: dpkg has nothing to do with you being able to run make14:05
lcuki have put a note in the readme about the builddeps14:05
rasterits your job to provide builddeps14:05
lcukraster, make doesnt think about it, but for packages with debian/ folder it should work14:05
rasternot upstream src14:05
MNZlcuk, just ./configure the package and see :P14:05
rasterthey have no clue what distro u run14:05
rasterwhat version14:05
*** igagis has quit IRC14:05
lcukMNZ, no autotools14:05
rasterand what packages have those deps14:05
TiagoTiago_perhaps someone should relelase a perl variant that will not copile code that isn't obfuscated14:05
rasterand even how they can get installed14:05
rasterno upstream can sanely handle that14:05
lcukraster, the debian/ folder does contain everything but the Depends: line isnt formatted for use with apt :P14:06
rasteroh it has a debian dir?14:06
lcukmost do14:07
rasterwith all the right debian packahing info for that src?14:07
lcukyes14:07
MNZlcuk, can you re-explain the situation?14:07
rasterdpng-buildpackage -r fakeroot14:07
lcukcant build package14:07
raster(in the dir that has debian/)14:07
lcukbecause the build deps arent yet installed14:07
rasterthen install them14:07
lcukwhat are they?14:07
rasterthe debina pkg info should have all of that14:07
MNZjust grep for 'Depends'. what's wrong with that??14:08
lcukMNZ, sure but it takes mucking around for each one14:08
rasterlcuk: the build fails with src (makefiles or configure) complaining of missing deps or headers etc??14:09
MNZno, quick regexp for clean up and just shoot through 'xargs apt-get install' I suppose. There WAS a command for this... hold on14:09
lcukMNZ, sure its a quick regexp14:09
lcukbut every developer who gets a package from git may have to do the same thing14:10
rasteror there is a Build-Depends:14:10
MNZlcuk, this package is not in the repos ?14:10
lcukthe dpkg-whatthefuckarethebuilddeps would be simpler14:10
rasterand u want those build deps installed for u in 1 simple command?14:10
lcukraster, installed or listed yes14:10
rasterwell if u can list - u can install14:12
lcuksure14:12
rasteras such the build-depends line isnt just a pckg list14:12
rasterbut also specific version depsn etc. too14:12

lcukbasically the same operation that apt-get builddep [package] has14:13

lcukyes - but in the case of maemo, downloading a debian package source and trying to port/bring it to maemo14:15
lcukthe debian package usually expects the whole debian repositories are available14:16

*** ALoGeNo has quit IRC14:17
DocScrutinizer51another interesting problem: how to check initscripts for not using 'nonexistent' commands (like /usr/sbin/foo which due to usr not mounted would fail on boot)?  thought along some ;;which 'strings init.d';; - of course a bit more sophisticated, Or mount rootfs (which has /usr now) without noatime.

lcukraster, indeed, hence me asking its just something I have noticed with many packages I have gotten14:23
DocScrutinizerlcuk: yeah, not that you mention it, it's highly questionable why /usr/* should be in path (if any at all) of initscripts14:24
DocScrutinizers/not/now/14:24
infobotDocScrutinizer meant: lcuk: yeah, now that you mention it, it's highly questionable why /usr/* should be in path (if any at all) of initscripts14:24
DocScrutinizerthanks fellas14:24
MNZlcuk, some intelligent grepping reveals that you can list build-deps... but only after building XD so if you have a binary or you can already do a dpkg-buildpackage then you can list stuff14:25
MNZYou can check for yourself:14:26
MNZfor i in `find /usr/share/man -iname "dpkg*"| xargs`; do echo $i; zcat $i | nroff| grep -i --color depend; done14:26
*** ototo has left #maemo14:26
lcukMNZ, great little chicken and egg one isnt it :)14:26
MNZlcuk, yeah it's pretty weird14:26
TiagoTiago_why the regular clock isn't set the same way the clock is set when you insert a new SIM?14:26
lcuki just added an apt-get line in the README notes14:26
lcukso getting from git and trying to build is as simple as possible14:27
lcuki wonder how other systems deal with similar14:27
lcukie, is there an rpm equiv14:27
lcukTiagoTiago_, internal battery for clock foobar?14:28
DocScrutinizerbut then... we not only got init.d/*, we also got event.d (upstart), and especially buggering: there are scripts that run *after* >>mount /dev/mmcfoo /usr<< which of course may use all of the usr/(s)bin cmds. How to tell which are the scripts/events that lack a mounted /usr ?14:29
TiagoTiago_no, i mean, when you insert a new sim, you get a clock with arms for hours and minutes, and you drag each arm to set the time like on a physical clock, but then during regular use, you just scroll thru a list of numbers14:30
lcukahhh14:30
lcukone uses gtk itself the other doesnt14:30
DocScrutinizerlcuk: grep usr /etc/init.d/*  just gives too much to get me anywhere14:31
lcukok14:31

TiagoTiago_that type of inconsistency reinforces the impression Nokia didn't put enough effort in the N900 :/14:31

lolloojavispedro, your right18:31
lollooit takes long18:31
RST38h20-minute gps lock problem is solvable, albeit in a weird way18:31
RST38hThe solution is to run Nokia's GPS diagnostics utility in the background18:31
lolloowow18:31
lolloohow?18:31
RST38hAnd let that utility initialize GPS and obtain the position. Usually takes no more than 5 minutes when standing still.18:32

lollooWhats up with Meego?18:44
TiagoTiago_the change of name from Maemo really fucked things up, there is like 4 devices in that site, and now they changed the name and it's a matter of "us VS them" :/18:45
javispedroRST38h: ah, about Harmattan.18:45
lollooso many hype about it, why?18:45
javispedroRST38h: since Meego is not exactly any unified kind of project (other than the common Qt baseline API)18:45
javispedroRST38h: "harmattan" will be Meego Handset and that's about it18:45
RST38hjavispedro: on top of debian base?18:45
javispedroRST38h: guess not. there's not much work done on the "debian base" either.18:46

RST38hjavispedro: especially considering that there is 1) generic qt 2) meegotouch and 3) symbian qt ui18:49
TermanaThe core is still the same, the UI is changed18:49

*** C-S-B has joined #maemo18:49
MohammadAGwill dpkg complain that it's trying to overwrite when I upgrade both?18:50
Termanakerio, therefore, busybox is still likely to be used in Harmattan18:50

keriothen harmattan will suck balls18:50
RST38hjavispedro: Really? Is it because it is useless or because it does not currently work on Maemo5? =)18:50

l0upMNZ: cool! lemme know what you can get out of it.. no, not familiar with filters/eqs (atleast not yet), just started reading about what one can do with phonon19:44

*** rd has joined #maemo19:45
jarkkomSpeedEvil, well at least on GSM it's requirement to allow emergency calls, even though possible keypad lock19:45
MNZl0up, ah.. oh well. And phonon :/19:45
TiagoTiago_can they track you if you start a DOS initiating emergency calls over and over again, never actually completing it, just going far enough for the base station to give you highre priority?19:45
jarkkomTiagoTiago_, yeah they'll know your IMEI at least19:46
jarkkomand it can be blacklisted if it's clearly malfunctioning terminal19:46
jarkkombut there's easier ways to do denial-of-service on base station if that's what someone wants to do19:47
TiagoTiago_i wonder what's gonna happen when people finally break the codes cellphone makers need to keep secret to avoid people messing with the networks and shit hits the fan19:48

SpeedEvilFor several 10s of K, and a fair bit of programming now, you can do cracking in near realtime of calls.19:49
TiagoTiago_if it's not a secret anymore, why was it necessary for Nokia to waste money walling the cell modem and stuff from us?19:50
SpeedEvilTiagoTiago_: Because it is unlawful in many places to sell 'hacking equipment'19:50
SpeedEvilWhich is what - at least in UK law - the n900 would be once it was abused.19:50
MNZl0up, no, not really. I'm just not a fan :D19:50

TiagoTiago_since you guys seem to know about this security stuff, lemme ask you somthing, can my GSM account have been cloned if i've kept all my old SIM cards of this account with me? (assuming "bad guys" haven't got physical access to any of my SIM cards)19:53
SpeedEvilAs I understand it - cloning of SIMs is not possible over-the-air.19:53

TiagoTiago_but i've got all the old SIMs (over the time i've asked the carrier to upgrade my SIM, for more memory, or even just to get clean undented contacts, but i still have my old ones), so there is no chance my account has been cloned, unless the people in the store cloned the SIMs under the counter, correct?19:57

MNZl0up, well turning on both headphone and speaker (same output) is already possible with things as they are (though you will _probably_ need a little patch I wrote for speaker protection... long story)20:01
TiagoTiago_can i read the long story somehwere?20:01
*** spinningcompass has quit IRC20:02
MNZl0up, different outputs though, that will require a considerable change to how the audio codec is used on the N900. Probably not a good idea for everyday use20:02
TiagoTiago_might also help with that idea of using the N900 as a hearing aid20:02
l0upMNZ: thought so:F well maybe i'll just ditch the djstudio project and get my focus on the sampler/sequencer20:03
MNZin brief it would render the headphone unusable for 'normal' playback20:03
MNZl0up, I believe that would be a good idea, yeah20:03
MNZTiagoTiago_, long story has been discussed several times here, not going to recount :P20:04
TiagoTiago_you can't like create virtual soundcards, and redirect the outputs?20:04

ShadSEC2Anyone knows how to export variables from a shell running iinside Screen so that it is accesible from next created screen window? the obvious export is not working for me....22:13
lindi-ShadSEC2: screen -X setenv VAR VAL22:13
lindi-ShadSEC2: export of course only applies to the current shell and its children22:14

ShadSEC2perhaps plugin is not the right word.. but intended functionality is that22:23
lindi-ShadSEC2: usually these "plugins" are children of the main program22:23

*** kthomas_vh has quit IRC22:25
ShadSEC2it is a children22:25

ShadSEC2but now I think the child it is not of the main script running22:38
ShadSEC2but a child of screen itself22:38
lindi-ShadSEC2: that's what I guessed too22:38
ShadSEC2screen -t "plugin" xxxxx/plugin <- this is how it is spawned22:39
ShadSEC2even if it is being spawned from the main script it is screen creating it22:39
lindi-yes22:39
ShadSEC2so.... better stop thinking about it, and just export the vars to file and source it from the plugin?22:40

luke-jrit's already outdated hardware, really23:27
xqoi thought the stack was free, and the schematics were leaked, luke-jr?23:27
luke-jr256 MB RAM is so 200923:27
luke-jrxqo: schematics don't give you enough to write drivers23:27

xqothen.. buy n900 or wait?23:31
luke-jrxqo: depends on what you want23:31
luke-jrxqo: and your budget23:31
luke-jrif you can afford to buy another device within a year, get N90023:31
luke-jrcuz I don't expect another device to be remotely competitive with N900 before then23:32
luke-jrif you're happy using Maemo and MeeGo, N900 should also be fine23:32

johnsu01kerio: did both23:34
xqopexi, but compared to the n900?23:34
luke-jrxqo: N900 isn't a phone. If you want a phone, get something else23:34
pexiand the price was really cheap in here for a while.. like 260e23:34
pexisome operator campaing23:34
luke-jrxqo: you can't compare a phone to a non-phone, unless you mean strictly hardware23:34
kerioxqo: the N900 is a tiny computer that also does some phone calls and sends a couple of SMSes23:34

johnsu01while connected to USB power, it just has the grayed-out screen, and does a quick vibration every minute or so23:35
xqobut how well does it work for that? Im buying this because i need something to call/sms with, but also because i want something fun to play with.23:35
johnsu01green light is solid on23:35
xqois it shit to use as a phone?23:36
kerionah, it's fine23:36
pexias we have stated, buy it and try it - u can get cheap used one and sell it if u don't like it :)23:36
luke-jrxqo: if you don't mind waiting 5 seconds before you can answer calls23:36
luke-jrxqo: and don't need MMS23:36
kerioluke-jr: that's a gross overestimation23:36
luke-jrkerio: not at all23:36
kerioalso why can't the guy that's calling you wait for 5 seconds23:36
* johnsu01 has mms and does not wait that long to answer a call23:36
xqowhat do you mean, is it sluggish or something?23:36
luke-jrkerio: by the time my N900 gets the call, he's already waited 4 or 523:36
pexiwhat about the blinking screen? can you hack it?23:37
keriojohnsu01: no you don't, your n900 is FUBAR23:37
luke-jrxqo: very, over time; always, when rotating the screen23:37
johnsu01kerio: yes :(23:37
pexi(sorry, haven't googled it)23:37
luke-jrkerio: err, I mean 4 or 5 rings there :p23:37
* johnsu01 checks the warranty23:37
kerioxqo: the n900 still beats both those phones you mentioned, really23:37

johnxxqo, my N900 has been working rather well. Other people seem to install background processes and 3rd party widgets and then wonder why things get slow over time23:41

noobmonk3ywas singing your praises on the UK vodafone forums last week, and got someones fmms working, hehehe23:42

lcukif you see the wiki page23:42
noobmonk3y:P23:42
lcukit includes information about how much cpu each uses23:42
johnxluke-jr, 3rd party *apps* are fine. 3rd party daemons and widgets may or may not come with memory leaks. the N900 will not prevent you from doing something stupid, so use your own brain23:42
pexixqo, if you want python, n900 is your friend23:43
lcukI wonder if we could get this sort of rating onto packages23:43
fralsnoobmonk3y: evenin :)23:43

xqois luke-jr just being really negative, or does it get slow and sluggish?23:46

pexithere are coming interesting other meego phones also23:47
fralspexi: any links?23:47
lcukbut the system is strong, its pretty much 5 years of the best gtk ui and is as close to debian as you will see23:47
pexisorry23:47
pexi:)23:47
pexiwell i hope they can get the package working on time23:48
johnxxqo, I think the answer about whether you will like it really depends on your usage. If you want something you can use everyday as a phone, but you also want to hack on it, there really isn't anything else in its class23:48
*** bef0rd has quit IRC23:48
xqothanks, im getting pretty excited about it.23:49
pexibuy and try23:49
johnxxqo, a warning about 'using the debian repositories': you can't use them directly23:50
johnxsome people  have setup a chroot and installed debian that way, but it's not 100% foolproof and the general consensus is that it slows things down noticeably23:51
keriostill, it lets you run openoffice and gimp23:51
johnxright.23:51
