IRC log of #maemo for Thursday, 2010-12-09

crashanddie_what does MAFW provide, really?00:01
crashanddie_Looking at the garage project didn't provide a whole lot of details00:01
crashanddie_other than "Code moved to Gnome"00:01
*** dneary has joined #maemo00:01
MohammadAGbetter integration with maemo, for a start00:02
crashanddie_and?00:03
MohammadAGwe don't break half the apps using mafw00:04
crashanddie_not using MAFW would break apps?00:04
MohammadAGwould make them disfunctional00:05
MohammadAGnicolai's home applet, alterego's IM updater etc00:05
lcukno crashanddie_00:06
lcukcrashanddie_, what are you using them for00:08
crashanddie_hmm00:08
crashanddie_fair enough MohammadAG, didn't know MAFW provided that kind of interface too00:09
MohammadAGlcuk, you missed the project?00:09
crashanddie_no he didn't, he's avoiding it.00:09
* lcuk not avoiding00:09
lcukjust letting it take shape as required :P00:09
lcuksee what things work and dont work seems to be going well00:10

DocScrutinizer51last day I watched dbus while selecting some media in player. WOW what a funny SQL statement (though tracker's name for it is different)00:13
DocScrutinizer51so much for 'talking directly to tracker' - seems even mediaplayer does it00:13

MohammadAGcrashanddie_, for what? you're welcome though :P00:16
crashanddie_for putting time in on this00:17
MohammadAGwell, it's either this or wasting time on something else, prolly less useful, like rock band00:17

DocScrutinizerhonestly, worrying about tracker should be at very bottom of your todo list, when cloning mediaplayer. First have a decent file selector for accessing media via path, then have proper management of playlists, as in insert/delete/swap/stop-after/fade-over. Then use tracker to augment info/detail for media *files* with ID3 and other things, and finally you can have a sort order based on tracker solely - as an alternative to path&fs based sort.00:26
*** ke^ has quit IRC00:27
crashanddie_yeah, but no00:27
*** straind has quit IRC00:28
crashanddie_I get your point, and it would indeed be interesting to have a nice PoC running00:28
jacekowskijust port amarok 1.4 to n90000:28
DocScrutinizeras a rule of thumb, if mediaplayer doesn't work or becomes unusable on a system where tracker got deinstalled, you severely messed it up00:28
jacekowskiwell, you need list of all files00:28
DocScrutinizerjacekowski: ++00:29
jacekowskiand traversing file system every time you want to add something to playlist isn't going to work00:29
jacekowskiadding directly from fs is not the best way00:29
*** blackthorne has joined #maemo00:29
DocScrutinizerjacekowski: duh, why?00:29
DocScrutinizerBS it's the only way00:30
jacekowskino id300:30
crashanddie_wut?00:30
DocScrutinizerso what? none of my media has ID300:30
*** wizL has joined #maemo00:30
jacekowskiall my media has id300:30
*** jukey has left #maemo00:30
DocScrutinizerI'm not interested in that00:30
*** FIQ has quit IRC00:30
jacekowskiand i can only find it by id300:30
jacekowskior by querying a db00:30
DocScrutinizerok, so what?00:30
crashanddie_except, jacekowski and DocScrutinizer, we're not writing shit just for your use cases00:31
*** straind has joined #maemo00:31
DocScrutinizerthat's the rationale why nobody may get a proper fileselector to get access to their id3-free media????00:31
*** frade has quit IRC00:31
crashanddie_so stop being donkeys and keep the critics to a minimum, unless you really see us going awry00:31
jacekowskinah, file selector should be an option00:31
jacekowskibut tracker based stuff should be a base00:32
jacekowskiwith better tracker00:32
DocScrutinizerBS00:32
*** benh has quit IRC00:32
crashanddie_guys, the way I see it, it'll be pluggable00:32
DocScrutinizeras a rule of thumb, if mediaplayer doesn't work or becomes unusable on a system where tracker got deinstalled, you severely messed it up00:32
lcukDocScrutinizer, come on, you are but one person, blended approach, lots of people like their catalogued media00:32
crashanddie_if a tracker with a db is available, we'll use it, and you'll be able to manually manage your shit00:32
*** benh has joined #maemo00:32
crashanddie_if no tracker is available, you'll manage your shit manually00:33
lcuki don't and tend to like folders personally, but that shouldnt prevent it working from a proper catalogue00:33
crashanddie_(by telling it which directories to watch, etc)00:33
crashanddie_I use both tbh00:33
crashanddie_directories and ID300:33
crashanddie_cuz I like the information, but I also listen to stuff on the command line00:33
DocScrutinizercrashanddie_: me too00:33
*** SpeedEvil1 has joined #maemo00:33
*** SpeedEvil has quit IRC00:34
lcukwell technically if the db retained path (I think it does)00:34
lcukthen it just becomes another bit of info in the database00:34
jacekowskicrashanddie_: well but telling it what directories to watch == making your own implementation of tracker00:34
*** geaaru has quit IRC00:34
crashanddie_no00:34
crashanddie_cuz giving it a directory is an instant playlist00:34
DocScrutinizerbut that's not the point about proper system architecture has nothing to deal with making tracker a mandatory base technology for your app, without any justification00:35
lcukscanning a folder full of music on desktop in realtime is reasonable thing to do on desktop00:35
crashanddie_DocScrutinizer: we're not making tracker mandatory00:35
crashanddie_DocScrutinizer: I don't know where you read that00:35
lcukscanning same folder on n900 brings it to its knees00:35
DocScrutinizer[2010-12-08 23:32:00] <jacekowski> but tracker based stuff should be a base00:35
DocScrutinizer[2010-12-08 23:31:48] <jacekowski> nah, file selector should be an option00:35
timeless_webchatlcuk: i've been told that the scanner was incredibly broken in the n900 stack00:35
*** scoobertron has joined #maemo00:35
timeless_webchatso in theory a non broken scanner would be much better00:35
DocScrutinizerit needs to be the other way round00:36
jacekowskilcuk: well, inotify would be so nice if it would work on umounted filesystems00:36
crashanddie_DocScrutinizer: yeah, and last I checked, jacekowski is about on the same level to this project as you are: badmouthing it.00:36
lcuktimeless_webchat, similar issue with image thumbnailing00:36
jacekowskicrashanddie_: what about mediabox?00:36
lcukand thats got one of the most optimised jpeg libraries on the planet00:36
crashanddie_lcuk: doing an ls on a 50-file directory brings the N900 on its knees?00:37
lcukno, but you just said you like id300:37
timeless_webchatlcuk: you won't find me claiming the n900 impl of anything is good...00:37
crashanddie_well, yeah, ever heard of threading?00:37
lcukgrabbing that from the media as you show the album00:37
timeless_webchatpicasa otoh does give me media i can use00:37
timeless_webchatand it does indexing00:37
crashanddie_lcuk: remember winamp 2?00:37
* timeless_webchat remembers winamp 100:37
crashanddie_lcuk: you gave it a big ass folder, it just displayed the filename.mp3 initially, you could select, start playing, etc... And then, in the background, slowly, it would load the id3 information00:38
*** SpeedEvil1 has quit IRC00:38
lcukof course crashanddie_00:38
crashanddie_that's all I'm talking about00:38
lcuki understand the principle00:38
lcukbut even with winamp00:38
lcuki used to have to close everything to even play mp300:38
lcuklet alone catalogue it00:39
lcuk(early computer times00:39
lcukpre ghx00:39
crashanddie_lcuk: I remember loading a 300+ list of songs on a amd k6-2 300Mhz00:39
lcukghz00:39
crashanddie_I'll be fucked if the N900 is slower than that00:39
lcukagreed in principle00:40
lcukcanola managed very well without a catalogue afaik00:40
*** larsivi has quit IRC00:40
lcukspeaking of which..00:40
lcukgsoc this year was packaging canola for n90000:40
crashanddie_this is not difficult stuff, this is delaying loading the first 500 bytes of an mp3 file00:40
DocScrutinizercrashanddie_: well, I see I can delegate to you to defend my point - cya, me off for RL00:40

*** SpeedEvil has joined #maemo01:58
DocScrutinizerseems useless effort to contribute over there01:58
alteregoI was checking the latest test results, I think 1.2 will be my switch over point.01:58
alteregoProbably before the release01:59
alteregoI reckon 2-3 months01:59
DocScrutinizermeh, meego will be nothing different to maemo. Wait til useable, then try to find out how it works, and RE stuff as nobody cared to document or share basic design rationale02:00
*** trumee has joined #maemo02:01

trumeeguys, N900 wifi chip support broadcom or atheros better?02:02
javispedro????????02:02
DocScrutinizerreally? we already reached the point where crap is implemented and now us suckers are free to "contribute patches"?02:02
trumeemy wrt54gl got fried today. so i am getting an atheros based router.02:02
javispedroaaaaaaaaaa02:02
*** zutesmog has joined #maemo02:02
alteregoSo you have issue with something specific in meego you think was designed poorly?02:03
DocScrutinizer...and google for documentation about what the F*CK meego is actually doing under the hood02:04
trumeebricked my router while patching openwrt on it. happy to see the sucker die. now i can get an atheros chipset and hopefully sip will perform better.02:04
DocScrutinizeralterego: actually, yes. The community design02:04
DocScrutinizerthe TSG design02:04
DocScrutinizerthe workflow design02:04

DocScrutinizerwhat I want? Not hear any lame but-there's-meego excuses for anything here at maemo02:10
alteregoRiiiight02:10
alteregoThat seems a bit pointless02:11
*** otep has joined #maemo02:11
alteregoWhat's wrong with moving to MeeGo?02:11
javispedrowell, one could dislike qt.02:11
alteregoIf it ticks all the boxes you like in a mobile OS02:11
alteregoSure, as lots I'm sure dislike glib,gobject,gtk02:12
javispedrosince it is philosophizing time, I'm gonna throw in my fears02:12
alteregoUnless you're developing ... What do you care? :)02:13
DocScrutinizerfor now maemo is more open and better documented than meego, and I don't see that change any time soon. Not to talk about quality of system design02:13
DocScrutinizeror maturity02:13
alteregoMaemo is not more open than meego02:13
DocScrutinizerhah02:14
javispedrowhen I ponder what attaches me to Maemo, I usually think people, hackability, and the fact that Maemo is the most desktop-like linux distro while still keeping reasonable usability.02:14
DocScrutinizerjavispedro: ack02:14
*** Kegetys has quit IRC02:14
javispedroWebOS also has (for me) people, hackability, but..02:14
javispedroit is hardly the most desktop-like linux distro.02:14
javispedrocustom window server, etc.02:15
DocScrutinizerwhere hackability is what I call "open in a sense of well understood and documented"02:15
alteregoThe same people are developing MeeGo, they are using what they know to have worked with maemo there aswell, with hindsight ..02:15
DocScrutinizerhahaha02:15
DocScrutinizerlike fuvar braindamaged lis302 mainstream driver, compared to rather nice maemo counterpart02:15
*** trbs has quit IRC02:16
javispedroand my biggest fear is that right now Meego's "main toolkit" is a toolkit owned by Nokia itself.02:16
DocScrutinizerasking what'S the rationale to use a basically broken driver for accelerometer, A was: well it's upstream02:16
javispedrowhich might cause (in fact ALREADY causes) Meego to move away from being the most desktop-like.02:17
alteregojavispedro: how so?02:17
alteregoIt's more desktop like than maemo02:17
alteregoif not in the ux in the core os ..02:18
javispedrothe sad part is that I believe this is unavoidable, because nobody wants to move desktop linux these days02:18
javispedroalterego: did you miss the "Meego is a distro on itself" part?02:18
*** lolloo has quit IRC02:19
DocScrutinizerQ: and how's meego dealing with lis302 and other sensors? there's mce on maemo, you won't use that? A: no we use sensorfw, Q: where's that documented? A: google for it, noob. Maybe nowhere02:19
ieatlinti think one of my biggest issues with meego right now is that the sdk is only supported on apt-get, and yum/zypper distributions02:19
ieatlintwhose brilliant idea was it to do that?02:19
alteregoieatlint: what else would you install it on? :P02:20
*** Wamanuz has quit IRC02:20
ieatlintsitting here on gentoo02:20
ieatlinthad no trouble installing maemo sdk, or for that matter meego 1.0 sdk02:20
javispedrobasically, competition platforms don't seem so away now (they're also "custom linux distributions" running a toolkit owned by their parent companies)02:20
DocScrutinizerergo: contributing to meego is futile effort for me. A bottomless timesink02:21
alteregoNot intel ..02:21
javispedrothat's why I also sigh everytime I see yet another thing that potentially causes a X11 application not to run as is on any Meego UX :)02:21
alteregoHeh02:22
javispedrolet's bring in the rotation example, as I have that one in mind02:22
alteregoSo you're just going to sit here and do what exactly?02:23
javispedrohandset uses its own rotation stuff instead of X11 one.02:23
alteregoAnd for how long?02:23
javispedropros: nice rotation effect.02:23
javispedrocons: doesn't work with non Qt applications.02:23
alteregothat's a good point.02:23
javispedrohow can I convince anyone on Meego I find this stupid? even I'm not sure I would want to throw nice rotation effect just to run SDL applications.02:24
alteregoHeh02:24
javispedroand unfortunately there is no sane way to do cool X11 rotation without SEVERE coding work on X11 itself.02:24
javispedrosomething that's out of my reach for plain time reasons.02:24
alteregoYeah02:24
javispedroso I don't rant loudly, because I understand that Meego shipping with no iPhone-like rotation effect would doom Meego to certain failure...02:25
javispedrobut yet I'm not easy about it.02:25
javispedro(now replace "rotation effect" with all the other problems, and you get the full picture)02:26
alteregosensorfw seems pretty well documented to me, for a pre-release library ...02:26
javispedroyet another thing that's different from desktop linux.02:26
javispedrothis time, because there's nothing equivalent on desktop linux.02:26

alteregosure, so? You don't need to use it in your apps :P02:28
javispedrobut I want to.02:28
DocScrutinizerjavispedro: full ack. The main goal in my book is "make any arbitrary app run on N900 with as little platform specific tweaking the code as possible". Meego TSG seems doesn't have this point *anywhere* on their aims list02:29
*** trx has quit IRC02:29
alteregoWhy should that be a goal?02:29
alteregoOkay, they've sort of missed it completely with mtf, but still.02:30
DocScrutinizeralterego: if you don't see why, then probably it's a waste of time to discuss it with you02:30
alteregoWe've never expected that from maemo ..02:30
alteregoWhy do you expect it from meego?02:30
DocScrutinizerI expect that from every linux02:30
DocScrutinizerand meego seems to become a ""linux"" much like android is linux02:31
alteregoWell, you can, just don't expect it to be pretty ...02:31
alteregoRubbish02:31
alteregoYou can run what you want on meego, just don't expect it to iteract with the ux properly02:32

DocScrutinizeraah, you say they haven't messed up the CPU instruction set yet?02:32
alteregoWe're moving to neon fp soonish02:33

alteregoarmv7hl02:33
BCMMDocScrutinizer: meego is going to be weird and nonstandard?02:33
alteregoWhich will be a nice perf boost, something maemo will never have.02:33
toresbethe reason it's different-looking is because it's a different user interface model... would you dismiss a Linux made for a process-control environment because it couldn't run OpenOffice?02:33
alteregoI never thought desktop like meant what you think it does :P02:34
DocScrutinizertoresbe: you are free to adapt yur apps to any degree you like. I want to be free to take e.g. OOo and simply compile it and get a miniature desktop experience out of it, however unusable and bad it might be02:34
toresbeI'd happily accept a rot13'd API if it only meant that I could get good, well-adapted, well-integrated applications02:34

javispedro"I'd happily accept a flawed/reduced API if it only meant I could get good, well-integrated applications"02:35
javispedroSteve Jobs said THAT:02:35
DocScrutinizertoresbe: that's plain BS02:35
toresbeI don't want generic X applications running on my N900. I want a good N900 calendar.02:36
javispedrobah, can't find the quote quickly enough02:36
toresbeiPhone's API constraints is an important reason for why it's a better phone than the N900 in terms of the PIMey stuff. I'd be happy with a more specialized API, I just don't want a more _restricted phone_.02:36
*** BCMM has quit IRC02:36
DocScrutinizertoresbe: so go ahead and code it yourself02:36
DocScrutinizerfrom scratch02:36
DocScrutinizeras that's what you need to do when there's no compatibility to whatever has been there before02:37
toresbeDocScrutinizer: That's a weaselly argument and applies equally well to your own line of reasoning. It's on par with "if you like it so much why don't you go live there"02:37
javispedroDocScrutinizer: there's no need to code it, he will just use Meego ;)02:37
*** lolloo has joined #maemo02:37
DocScrutinizeryeah, Nokia's meego flavour of calendar blob02:38
javispedrowell, no calendar yet on Meego, but the reference handset one should be open02:38
DocScrutinizeras we all know maemo one was so great02:38
toresbeI don't want a blob, but I do want a calendar written for my telephone and not for my desktop and then shoehorned into my phone.02:38
javispedrowheter Nokia will use it or just distribute a blob "better" one...02:38

Gh0stybut reinstalling all applications ...08:45
Gh0styrestoring a backup probably drags in dirty stuff? :/08:45
DocScrutinizer...is a snap with backup app08:45
Gh0styso i better export a package list?08:45
Gh0stynono i mean scratch as in complete reflash the whole thing08:46
APTXit drags in your contacts08:46
DocScrutinizerbackup app is just doing that: keeping a list of apps to re-install08:46
Gh0styI think it got corrupted and gui settings? :p08:46
Gh0stydamn sorry08:47
Gh0styand the gui layout ?08:47
Gh0styis that kept?08:47
APTXyes08:47
johnxyou can tell backup to keep or not keep various different things08:47
DocScrutinizerhow about simply starting it and see for yourself?08:47
johnxwhen I backup-reflash-restore, I choose to only restore contacts, events and conversations usually08:47
Gh0styDocScrutinizer: well I did not consider yet to reflash08:48
Gh0stybut lately it got screwed up so much ... :/08:48
DocScrutinizerGh0sty: so what? it's not forbidden to use backup/restore any time you like08:48
Gh0styok :P08:49
DocScrutinizerand honestly, if a restore of a backup taken 5 minutes before would alter your system, then you really had a reason to bitch at Nokia08:49
Gh0styyou gave me confidence ... this weekend I'll reflash :)08:49
Gh0styI'm always a bit afraid to start over ... on desktops the same ... :)08:49
Gh0stybut especially on my phone :p08:50
DocScrutinizerGh0sty: Did I suggest to reflash?? o.O I said you should start backup app and make yourself comfortable with it08:50
Gh0styI guess for you guys thats in a blink of an eye :p08:50
Gh0stynono I have backups thats not the problem ... it's just I never tried a restore before either ...08:51
*** lolloo has quit IRC08:51
Gh0styusually upgrading just resolves most issues08:51
*** andrei1089 has quit IRC08:51
DocScrutinizerso why don't you just do that?08:51
Gh0styI will but for now I still want to be able to work ;p08:51
DocScrutinizerrestoring to the system state of now-5min must not do any harm, no?08:51
Gh0styno :)08:52
DocScrutinizerthen you know what you're going to face when you do a restore after flashing08:53
DocScrutinizerwhich should make you feel much less scared08:53
Gh0styah so swappolube is missing the pyqt dependency ... :p08:53
Gh0stythats the solution08:53

jase21Can pymaemo control the changing the profile (silent <-> general) in N900?12:59
alteregoYou can do it through dbus so yeah12:59
jase21I saw some script (dbus script) in the fcron wiki. But I would like it to be done using python without using fcron.12:59
jase21Is that possible?13:00
*** Flanbix has quit IRC13:00
lardmanyes, just implement dbus command in your Python script13:00
jase21But how about tracking time?13:01
jase21I want to change the profile at 9 to silent and at 6 back to general without using fcron.13:01
jase21So does that need fcron?13:01
jase21(I'm a python newbie)13:01
lardmannot necessarily, but if you don't use cron then you'll have to have your python script running all the time waiting for the time to change13:02
jase21oh.13:02
jase21The problem is suppose I want to distribute the script. The the target device should also have fcron preinstalled for my script to work, right?13:03
lardmanyes13:03
lardmanyou create a package for your script and one of the dependencies will be fcrond13:03

Choomand if you're wondering how the kernel itself knows, it can program the microcontroller's PIT which is basically a hardware-based alarm clock that's usually used to cause task switching to schedule an event for later13:18

jacekowskibecause i believe it's using single bts for it13:31
DocScrutinizeror like 2km13:31
chem|stlardman: gets weird when celltower ids get randomized by replacing a tower with another one about 600km away in another city... when I use umts network my first location is 600km away from my actual position and I wont get a gps fix as most of the satelites on sight arent the ones expected13:31
lardman:)13:32
jase21Is it better to use C than Python? Seems like its sort of difficult to get hold on api docs for python than for C.13:32

lardmanin which case you need to generate the bindings yourself13:32

DocScrutinizerI might accept the possibility GSM specs seen an supplement to enable AGPS in dumb phones (the USA shit), that is somehow implemented in GSN without need for a internet connection13:54

SIM card and a network connection is needed for ACWP method. If no network connection is available, this equals to CWP14:08
lardmanyeah but who wrote that in the wiki?14:08

chem|stlardman: as I just said once I had ACWP locate me I was able to use CWP14:09
lardmananyway, I can't be bothered to argue, I'll admit defeat, though I still think that ACWP does not require anything more than a GSM connection14:09

DocScrutinizerno, I'm a noob compared to e.g SpeedEvil14:12
lardmanchem|st: no, I said it provides alamanc and ephemeris data and possibly lat/lon, I then asked whether whoever it was had been able to access this SUPL data, as I doubted it14:12

lardmangood God, have you guys all got out the wrong side of bed today?14:14
derf_I_ am still in bed, so no, not yet.14:14
chem|stlardman: actualy that is the idea of SUPL, to have a separate networklayer implemented in wireless networks to provide all data without affecting any effects of normal usage14:15
balzusno one?14:15
DocScrutinizerhey, you claim our beloved brick has a new cute function that nobody of us ever heard of. You're surprised we want to know the whole story?14:15
lardmanah, shall I reiterate14:15
chem|stbalzus: no clue! but a package compiling on your desktop might need some hands-on for compiling for another architecture14:16
lardmanchem|st: I know what SUPL is for, the question was simply to ask of whoever it was who said that they were using the SUPL data to obtain lat/lon directly whether they were actually doing this, or whether it was coming by some other method14:16
tybolltDocScrutinizer: 'brick' :-D14:16
DocScrutinizerlardman: maybe sort your talk and your arguments chain, rather than reinterate14:16
chem|stlardman: yes that is the point! why would I powerup battery hungry GPS/wifi if there is BTS positioning14:17
lardmandocscrutinizer: my understanding, quite possibly wrong, but based on a talk I saw at one of the Maemo summits, was that ACWP does not require an internet connection, but does require a GSM network connection, possible with some layer ontop, I don't know, I'm certainly not claiming to have any expertise in the matter14:17
DocScrutinizerI said I'm willing to think of that as a possible way things work, actually even said it's likely regarding how the hardware works14:19

schaschDocScrutinizer  : now I do understand16:28
schasch:-)16:28
schaschDocScrutinizer : my VDR has also CIR, but till now I only had the time to setup my TV in IRRECO16:29
DocScrutinizerWLAN for sure much better than CIR16:29
schaschDocScrutinizer : yep16:29
DocScrutinizerirreco talks to lirc via local loopback network - it could as well talk to a converter that doesn't control IR-LED but instead sends converted data to VDR via WLAN16:31
alteregoIf you want to use lirc, you can have a look at my app.16:31

alteregoI've come up with a brainwave though as far as USB serial access is concerned.19:50
alteregoDocScrutinizer: do you think it'd be okay, if, someone enables USB serial tethering in my app (for NMEA streaming) then I disable pnatd (stop phonet-at) and send data, then on shutdown (start phonet-at).19:51
alteregoThis would mean I hijack the 3G serial connection, but no modified kernel module is required.19:51
alteregoI'm thinking that's what I'm going to do for this "tech-preview" until I come up with a nice polished new g_nokia driver.19:52

alteregoJust making bluetooth streaming a bit more user friendly, then I'll upload it to extras23:22

alteregoOh, and automatic bluetooth enabling when required.23:23
alteregoWell, prompting to enable :D23:23
MohammadAGyay \o/23:25

*** fiferboy has quit IRC23:27
alteregoOh, that's just a number.23:28
alteregoI made columbus, a while ago, remember what view you were last using, so when you restarted it, it'd auto switch to that view.23:28
alteregoThat's basically me disabling it.23:28
alteregoI found it annoying :D23:29
