| timeless_mbp | Venemo: pong? | 01:56 |
| Venemo | timeless_mbp: I know you probably didn't work on this particular component, but do you know why is it that Fremantle's clutter has features that didn't get pushed to upstream? | 01:58 |
| * timeless_mbp chuckles | 01:59 | |
| Venemo | timeless_mbp: this makes building any of the stuff in a non-Maemo environment a pain | 01:59 |
| timeless_mbp | clutter's engineering team was bought by intel | 01:59 |
| timeless_mbp | which ended the collaboration and uses :) | 01:59 |
| *** Wamanuz4 has joined #maemo | 01:59 | |
| Venemo | I thought Nokia and Intel like each other enough for such things | 02:00 |
| timeless_mbp | that's today | 02:00 |
| Venemo | right. | 02:00 |
| timeless_mbp | this was um... 2 years ago? | 02:00 |
| Venemo | 1 or 2 years ago, yes | 02:00 |
| ShadowJK | So now pushing upstream is good and 1-2 years ago it was bad? | 02:01 |
| Venemo | heh | 02:01 |
| timeless_mbp | no | 02:01 |
| ShadowJK | It's still bad? | 02:01 |
| timeless_mbp | the engineering team that had done the work was more or less no longer available to nokia | 02:01 |
| *** SpeedEvil has joined #maemo | 02:01 | |
| timeless_mbp | if they had unfinished/non upstreamed work at the time of the purchase, oh well | 02:02 |
| Venemo | I read a document written by Ari Jaaksi some years ago where he explains how the Maemo team takes pride in participating in open source communities and contributes to upstream | 02:02 |
| timeless_mbp | they just disappeared | 02:02 |

| timeless_mbp | we do | 02:02 |

| ShadowJK | Ah, the development in secret thing | 02:02 |
| timeless_mbp | it more or less was the upstream | 02:02 |
| timeless_mbp | and then it was bought | 02:02 |

| Venemo | (just checked with dpkg -l) | 02:14 |
| * timeless_mbp ponders | 02:15 | |
| Venemo | timeless_mbp: ah, found the reason. "This matchbox 1 is only used during startup sequence for basic window management. It’s not running when hildon-desktop is running." | 02:15 |

| DocScrutinizer | if every subsystem had such a general sum-up of the broader view of the whole thing, it'd be much easier to deal with all the indigestible src-dump | 02:18 |

| alterego | Heh | 03:50 |
| DocScrutinizer | that's the problem. You usually are reluctant to contribute patches for code the looks messed but is poorly commented so you never can be sure if the mess is due to sloppiness or incompetence or has an obscure reason it just *needs* to be that way | 03:50 |
| *** Venemo_N900 has quit IRC | 03:50 | |

| DocScrutinizer | and as devels regularly fail to provide a readme with a panorama view of the scope of the whole thing, you're usually even struggling to understand what this is meant to do and to work like at all | 03:53 |
| SpeedEvil | docs is the problem alright. | 03:55 |
| SpeedEvil | lack of | 03:55 |
| SpeedEvil | Meaning that people have to spend an couple of orders of magnitude (optimistically) more time understanding the architecture than a few line overall summary | 03:56 |
| DocScrutinizer | then there are noobs who think for example they can create a proof for max amount of jitter in UART clock in a S3C2442 when switching cpufreq, by running a for() loop on 100.000 cpu freq switches. And when there's no kernel panic during that they think the code is OK for upstream, and next 5 years thousands of devels wonder why they get random transmission errors on TTY. Just because the cpufreq patch is poorly written, poorly documented, | 03:58 |
| DocScrutinizer | and the fact I tried to talk with the devel about that problem isn't mentioned anywhere | 03:58 |

| MohammadAG | alterego, QLineEdit | 04:07 |
| MohammadAG | or even better | 04:07 |
| *** Rarokillo has joined #maemo | 04:07 | |
| alterego | I suppose I should force people to input their lat/lon values in the same format that I display it. | 04:07 |

| MohammadAG | a QLineEdit hardcoded to only support XX"YY"Z° | 04:09 |
| MohammadAG | or whatever the units are | 04:09 |
| alterego | SpeedEvil: I was thinking of that, but I mean the format as in: 52.00000, or, 52() 12" 123' | 04:09 |
| *** scoobertron has joined #maemo | 04:10 | |
| SpeedEvil | Whatever you do, check you rollover right at the coners | 04:10 |
| alterego | Sure, but I think it should be flexible, I have 6 different output formats for lat/lon | 04:10 |
| DocScrutinizer | good principle | 04:10 |
| alterego | DocScrutinizer: ? | 04:11 |
| DocScrutinizer | >>I think it should be flexible | 04:11 |
| alterego | Yeah, | 04:11 |
| alterego | Think I'll do some regexp tests and see if I can differentiate all the different ways. | 04:12 |

| *** Guest4179 has joined #maemo | 05:10 | |
| DocScrutinizer | you can not have a backlight for that clock all the time, or your battery is down after some 10h max | 05:10 |
| *** Guest4179 has quit IRC | 05:11 | |
| DocScrutinizer | (this isn't different to N8. But maybe N8 doesn't need any backlight. N900 basically does - at least for color display with good contrast" | 05:11 |
| DocScrutinizer | ) | 05:11 |
| MohammadAG | N8 is AMOLED | 05:12 |
| DocScrutinizer | aaah | 05:12 |

| DocScrutinizer | the nice part about AMOLED: one bright pixel needs just one pixel's power, not a whole backlight | 05:13 |
| MohammadAG | they do it in a smart way | 05:13 |

| DocScrutinizer | daxt: so the answer is: no, sorry. N900 can't do this | 05:14 |
| daxt | MohammadAG (PBUU) , is it ur n8 ? | 05:14 |
| MohammadAG | you see, most of my teachers think the device is off | 05:14 |

| *** daxt_ has quit IRC | 05:27 | |
| DocScrutinizer | so you'd need additional hardware and probably a new case (let's call it N8) to hook up that OLED screen to N900, e.g. by VNC ;-) | 05:27 |
| DocScrutinizer | finding a vnc-client for N8 is probably the easiest way to implement OLED on N900 | 05:29 |
| DocScrutinizer | wait! or simply hook up an OLED TV to N900 AV-receptacle ;-D | 05:30 |
| pupnik | if you want to drive a cheap V12 (until it breaks) find a 1990s bmw 750i | 05:30 |

| *** bdogg64 has quit IRC | 05:34 | |
| *** Saviq has joined #maemo | 05:34 | |
| DocScrutinizer | nah, the backlight wouldn't change, as you'd need to use the backlight power to light up the pixels. So no change there | 05:34 |

| Saviq | hi all, for some time now I've been having problems with Qt apps on my N900 - all the buttons are invisible, I can only see their labels | 05:35 |
| Saviq | any idea what might've caused that / how to fix apart from flashing? | 05:35 |
| DocScrutinizer | choose another theme maybe? | 05:35 |

| DocScrutinizer | RobbieThe1st: it's supposed to withstand 200..1000 charge cycles. But in real life it's worse than a primary cell | 07:34 |

| DocScrutinizer | ok, the capacitor has only 70mAs or somesuch, instead of 0.1mAh | 07:38 |

| DocScrutinizer | actually for FR PCF50633 chip with RTC the current drawn from backup battery wasn't specified. Some uA | 07:41 |
| *** kerio has joined #maemo | 07:42 | |
| RobbieThe1st | So, that should last a few weeks at least - if the orig has 360mAs vs 70 | 07:42 |
| DocScrutinizer | yep, at very least it should last >1h | 07:43 |
| RobbieThe1st | Better than the <5s I get now... | 07:43 |
| DocScrutinizer | and this is time without main battery. Even a depleted main battery still can power the RTC | 07:43 |
| DocScrutinizer | so realistically an hour is more than enough, to swap batteries | 07:44 |

| SpeedEvil | RobbieThe1st: also - first thing to do is check if you are covered by warranty. It's a bit silly to start opening it if you are | 07:51 |

| SpeedEvil | But many have 2 year warranty | 07:54 |
| DocScrutinizer | depends | 07:54 |
| SpeedEvil | yes | 07:55 |
| RobbieThe1st | Screw that. I'm not waiting for months; plus, I've OC'd it. And, it's my own fault that it got cracked | 07:58 |
| DocScrutinizer | why? | 07:58 |
| DocScrutinizer | screen black isn't your fault usually | 07:58 |
| DocScrutinizer | the FPC cable is known to fail | 07:59 |
| RobbieThe1st | Yesterday: http://robbiethe1st.afraid.org/images/IMGP2669-small.jpeg | 07:59 |
| DocScrutinizer | causing display failure | 07:59 |
| RobbieThe1st | Two weeks ago when it happened: http://robbiethe1st.afraid.org/images/IMGP2668.JPG | 07:59 |
| SpeedEvil | That's an LCD failure, not a FPC I think | 08:00 |
| DocScrutinizer | this looks like broken FPC | 08:00 |
| DocScrutinizer | hehe | 08:00 |
| RobbieThe1st | There's a visible crack in the LCD | 08:00 |
| DocScrutinizer | ooh | 08:01 |
| SpeedEvil | yeah - clearly a crack | 08:01 |
| DocScrutinizer | so then it's clearly your fault | 08:01 |
| RobbieThe1st | I'm still not sure how it happened, considering the digitizer is undamaged | 08:01 |
| DocScrutinizer | yeah I missed that | 08:01 |
| DocScrutinizer | scary | 08:02 |
| DocScrutinizer | you got a replacement LCD? | 08:02 |
| RobbieThe1st | Yup; $50 or so off ebay all told | 08:02 |
| DocScrutinizer | yep | 08:03 |
| RobbieThe1st | I ordered it last night; should be here within ten days | 08:03 |
| DocScrutinizer | that's quite a nice pricetag, here they are like 80€ | 08:03 |
| DocScrutinizer | iirc | 08:03 |
| RobbieThe1st | Direct from hong kong | 08:03 |
| DocScrutinizer | :-D | 08:04 |
| RobbieThe1st | While I'm at it, I might as well order a cap to replace the bad battery... | 08:05 |
| DocScrutinizer | take care of the FPC anyway, when you disassemble it | 08:05 |
| RobbieThe1st | fpc? | 08:05 |
| DocScrutinizer | those are flimsy | 08:05 |
| RobbieThe1st | Oh, the cable | 08:05 |
| DocScrutinizer | flat plastic connector/cable | 08:05 |
| RobbieThe1st | Yea, I just took it apart. It looks in fine shape, but yea, I'll be careful | 08:05 |
| RobbieThe1st | (Note to everyone: set of mini-torx bits === useful!) | 08:06 |
| DocScrutinizer | it's usually the B2B connector end that breaks. Too many vias there | 08:06 |
| DocScrutinizer | the apperture where the FPC enters the screen compartment is another critical point | 08:07 |
| DocScrutinizer | traces may break if you pull and bend the cable over the metal frame there | 08:07 |
| RobbieThe1st | Ah | 08:08 |
| *** Necc has quit IRC | 08:10 | |
| *** luke-jr has quit IRC | 08:11 | |
| RobbieThe1st | So, as far as the battery goes, that cap from digikey is the way to go? | 08:11 |
| *** thefool has joined #maemo | 08:12 | |
| thefool | Hey guys, just bought an n900 off of ebay and as much as I'm loving it I've been having one very annoying problem. I only get sound in one ear. I've tried using different headphones with no luck. And I got this before and after a flash. | 08:13 |
| thefool | Any ideas what would cause this? | 08:13 |
| chx | dirt in the headphone socket? | 08:13 |
| RobbieThe1st | Either the headphone port is broken/dirty, or one of the amplifier channels died | 08:13 |
| thefool | Well, it seems plenty clean. | 08:14 |
| thefool | So what would it mean if one of the amplifier channels died? | 08:14 |
| RobbieThe1st | Try wiggling the headphone. Does it move at all? | 08:14 |
| thefool | Not substantially. | 08:14 |
| RobbieThe1st | Try playing audio and wiggling it slightly | 08:15 |
| thefool | Doing that now | 08:15 |
| pupnik | does sound come out of both speakers? | 08:15 |
| thefool | I can't tell. | 08:15 |
| pupnik | nice nickname | 08:16 |
| thefool | Yes, it seems to be coming out of both speakers. | 08:16 |
| RobbieThe1st | Try lowering the volume almost all the way, then listen to each speaker in turn | 08:16 |
| thefool | (just did that, thanks :) ) | 08:16 |
| pupnik | DocScrutinizer: is this a cool algorithm or is this a cool algorithm http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HM3WWurYmLw | 08:16 |
| thefool | So would that rule out the amplifier issue and mean that it's a problem with the jack? | 08:17 |
| SpeedEvil | thefool: The jack is mounted to the board with clips. | 08:17 |
| RobbieThe1st | DocScrutinizer: I'm gonna order that capacitor now.. | 08:17 |
| SpeedEvil | thefool: these can get dirty, or bent, and the socket can be damaged by foreign objects inside it | 08:18 |
| *** maswan has quit IRC | 08:18 | |
| SpeedEvil | In principle, you can swap out the socket very simply | 08:18 |
| thefool | Ok, I can't see a simple way to even get to it. | 08:19 |
| SpeedEvil | I don't have links to suppliers of socket though | 08:19 |
| SpeedEvil | you unscrew the case | 08:19 |
| thefool | Ok | 08:19 |
| DocScrutinizer | RobbieThe1st: yep, go ahead. It looks fine | 08:19 |
| *** maswan has joined #maemo | 08:20 | |
| thefool | Alright, that shouldn't be too horrible. | 08:20 |
| thefool | As long as the sockets connections to the board are not ridiculously small. | 08:20 |
| thefool | Thanks. | 08:20 |
| RobbieThe1st | Thefool, wait. Let me give you the official disassembly guide | 08:21 |
| DocScrutinizer | pupnik: NICE | 08:21 |
| jacekowski | http://maemo.jacekowski.org/docs/ | 08:21 |
| pupnik | :) | 08:21 |
| RobbieThe1st | http://thehandheldblog.com/2009/11/30/download-the-n900-service-manual-see-the-n900-get-disassembled/ | 08:21 |
| pupnik | i spent about a few weeks making crazy effects | 08:22 |
| pupnik | then i got sad because i can't optimize anything worth hsit | 08:22 |
| jacekowski | oO | 08:22 |
| jacekowski | L12 | 08:22 |
| RobbieThe1st | thefool: Having disassembled mine for the first time not an hour ago, let me tell you that you should be -very- careful. There is no need for much force; once the screws are out a slight wiggling will take it apart | 08:22 |
| DocScrutinizer | thefool: they ARE ridiculously small | 08:22 |
| thefool | Bugger | 08:23 |
| RobbieThe1st | I have to say, though - the n900's well designed. | 08:23 |
| RobbieThe1st | Make sure you've got a ph00 screwdriver(tiny philips) | 08:23 |
| thefool | That's because the fins did it :) | 08:23 |
| RobbieThe1st | Oh, and you need a small torx driver - a T06. This you'll probably have to buy | 08:24 |
| thefool | Yeah, looks like some of them need the star drivers too. | 08:24 |
| thefool | Yeah, no worries, I have a set of them. | 08:24 |
| RobbieThe1st | Ah, good | 08:24 |
| RobbieThe1st | If you are -that- prepared, you won't have any trouble | 08:25 |
| thefool | So what are the chances that this is something I can easily fix? | 08:25 |
| RobbieThe1st | I don't know; this is the first I've heard of it happening. | 08:25 |
| thefool | Bummer | 08:25 |
| DocScrutinizer | thefool: are you sure you want to do this? Isn't N900 covered by warranty anymore? | 08:25 |
| jacekowski | check L34 manual | 08:25 |
| thefool | Not sure, just bought it off ebay and got it in the mail today. | 08:26 |
| thefool | I'm not even sure how to check to see if it is covered. | 08:26 |
| DocScrutinizer | so you should check with Nokia webpage if it's covered by warranty | 08:26 |
| RobbieThe1st | You'll need the IMEI number, under the battery | 08:27 |
| DocScrutinizer | there's a non-marginal chance you break it completely by disassembling it | 08:27 |
| thefool | Ok, will google around for the right area then. Thanks. Have the IMEI handy even thanks to a recent flash. | 08:27 |

If you send your device in for repair after 10 days, please include a copy of the proof of purchase with your device to confirm that your unit is within the warranty period. | 08:29 |
| DocScrutinizer | he did it some hours ago | 08:29 |
| thefool | Dang, good timing, only 10 days left...? Or am I reading this wrong. | 08:29 |
| jacekowski | thefool: on L3_4 manual there is whole section on audio troubleshooting | 08:30 |
| *** kthomas_vh has quit IRC | 08:30 | |

If you send your device in for repair after 10 days, please include a copy of the proof of purchase with your device to confirm that your unit is within the warranty period. | 08:30 |
| comawhite | DocScrutinizer, eh? | 08:30 |
| jacekowski | DocScrutinizer: yeah, that's strange | 08:31 |
| jacekowski | DocScrutinizer: have you tried it with your serial number? | 08:31 |
| DocScrutinizer | no, not yet :-D | 08:31 |
| thefool | jacekowski, No idea what that manual is and googling for it isn't coming up with anything meaningful yet. | 08:32 |
| jacekowski | thefool: http://maemo.jacekowski.org/docs/ | 08:32 |
| jacekowski | thefool: all in there | 08:32 |
| jacekowski | all most important parts | 08:33 |
| DocScrutinizer | the video also is kinda helpful, though they are severely cheating | 08:33 |
| DocScrutinizer | anyway, use your warranty, thefool ! | 08:34 |
| thefool | Yeah, I think I will, I just don't want to part with the stinking phone already lol | 08:34 |
| jacekowski | if you go to nokia care shop | 08:34 |
| jacekowski | they may replace it while you waith | 08:34 |
| jacekowski | wait* | 08:34 |
| DocScrutinizer | yep | 08:35 |
| thefool | (I've never so much as heard of one of those, where do you live?) | 08:35 |
| jacekowski | UK | 08:35 |
| DocScrutinizer | replacement of AV connector is probably the easiest fix after replacement of broken back cover :-) | 08:35 |
| jacekowski | they have nokia care shops in US | 08:35 |
| * DocScrutinizer wishes replacing USB connector would be similarly easy | 08:37 | |
| DocScrutinizer | and I actually don't understand why it isn't | 08:37 |
| jacekowski | because usb sucks | 08:38 |
| DocScrutinizer | I mean USB has 5 pins (+ shield). AV has at least 5 connectors | 08:38 |
| jacekowski | and firewire is a lot better | 08:38 |
| *** luke-jr has joined #maemo | 08:38 | |
| DocScrutinizer | s/connectors/pins | 08:38 |
| RobbieThe1st | Heck, if they'd thought about it, they would have used usb-mini instead of micro | 08:39 |
| DocScrutinizer | nope | 08:39 |
| RobbieThe1st | mini's so much more robust, and it'd fit in the space | 08:39 |
| DocScrutinizer | nope | 08:39 |
| DocScrutinizer | :-) | 08:39 |
| DocScrutinizer | micro is more durable than mini | 08:39 |
| DocScrutinizer | 10000 vs 5000 rounds | 08:40 |
| RobbieThe1st | Theoretically... in reality, I've had two usb-micro cables become flaky, and -how- many people have had usb-micro ports come out | 08:41 |
| jacekowski | that's not because of that | 08:41 |
| jacekowski | it's because of technology | 08:41 |
| RobbieThe1st | No, it's because of the (flimsy) mounting internally | 08:41 |
| jacekowski | all you have is very thin tracks made from copper | 08:42 |
| DocScrutinizer | that's two unrelated problems, and the 10000 are for receptacle. It's designed so plug on able wears out, not the hard to replace receptacle | 08:42 |
| thefool | Ouch, I live in Florida, the nearest repair center is in Alabama. | 08:42 |
| jacekowski | glued to FR4 | 08:42 |
| thefool | Mailing it in I guess. | 08:42 |
| jacekowski | thefool: hmm, well here in civilised parts of the world we have nokia care store probably within less than 100 miles everywhere | 08:42 |
| jacekowski | and most people probably live closer than 40 miles from one | 08:43 |
| DocScrutinizer | Nokia's standing in USA is different | 08:43 |
| RobbieThe1st | Thing is, I've got several (cheap) usb-mini cables. None of them failed or got flaky. I've got two usb-mini cables here that -look- ok, but are incredibly flaky, only working if they are pushed in just right. | 08:43 |
| thefool | Yeah well, eventually I'll have to move to a more civilized country. | 08:43 |
| RobbieThe1st | Forgive me for being biased, but... | 08:43 |
| jacekowski | it's overal usb design | 08:44 |
| *** luke-jr has quit IRC | 08:44 | |
| jacekowski | that's crap | 08:44 |
| jacekowski | because you have small bump on almost flat piece of metal | 08:44 |
| RobbieThe1st | True enough. | 08:44 |
| *** Natunen has joined #maemo | 08:44 | |
| jacekowski | that is suppose to connect devices | 08:45 |
| DocScrutinizer | well, whatever your feelings are regarding mini vs micro - mini is deprecated and will vanish | 08:45 |
| jacekowski | because it's not even proper spring loaded | 08:45 |
| jacekowski | it wears of too fast | 08:45 |
| *** Sicelo has joined #maemo | 08:45 | |
| jacekowski | my wireless mouse reciever is working in only one port of my laptop | 08:45 |
| jacekowski | because other ports are worn | 08:45 |
| jacekowski | and because they use plain pcb with uncovered tracks as connector | 08:46 |
| jacekowski | so it's completly flat | 08:46 |
| *** luke-jr has joined #maemo | 08:46 | |
| jacekowski | and any wear on laptop side will make it not connect | 08:46 |
| DocScrutinizer | ouch | 08:46 |
| jacekowski | usb B is a lot better | 08:46 |
| jacekowski | but it's big | 08:46 |
| jacekowski | iphone dock connector is nice | 08:46 |
| jacekowski | it has feature of locking in place | 08:47 |
| jacekowski | all with nice spring sort of design | 08:47 |
| DocScrutinizer | well, doen't help. You'll have to live with micro-USB | 08:47 |
| jacekowski | and other thing is | 08:48 |
| RobbieThe1st | Well, actually I don't. If it gets to be too much of a pain, I'll just get a mini-ab port off ebay, replace it, and enlarge the hole in the case. Problem solved. | 08:48 |
| thefool | Also while I have an audience is there an easy way I'm overlooking to return to the home screens? | 08:48 |
| jacekowski | what is current carrying capacity of that connection | 08:48 |
| jacekowski | because you have thin contacts | 08:49 |
| jacekowski | that are going to be dirty ussualy | 08:49 |
| DocScrutinizer | IIRC 1A | 08:49 |
| jacekowski | when new | 08:50 |
| DocScrutinizer | thefool: press ctrl-bs, hit to the empty area | 08:50 |
| jacekowski | what is real current you can pass trough it is a question | 08:50 |

| RobbieThe1st | thefool: backupmenu | 09:01 |

| thefool | Well, that's good enough I guess, I'll just boot up a vm. Thanks. | 09:01 |
| RobbieThe1st | it's in the devel repo. Complete system image, and it's os-independant(n900-centric) | 09:02 |

| thefool | Nice | 09:03 |
| thefool | So Nokia's return policy stinks. I have to pay shipping. | 09:04 |
| doc|home | thefool: that's normal | 09:06 |

| AD-N770 | you need gstreamer0.10-tools or something like this | 09:45 |
| AD-N770 | it will install the gstreamer tool set | 09:45 |
| lolloo | alright, I will google it. or is it in repo? | 09:45 |

| oscillik | sip has been pretty alright actually. i've not used it to make outgoing calls (because i can't afford putting credit on it) but incoming is fine, even over 3G | 11:38 |
| oscillik | EDGE is a bit dodgy though | 11:39 |
| trumee | oscillik, have you tried it on wifi? | 11:39 |
| *** eMHa_ has quit IRC | 11:39 | |
| ieatlint | i've used sip for outgoing on wifi, works well in my experience | 11:39 |
| oscillik | yeah, it's flaweless on wifi | 11:40 |
| *** valdyn has joined #maemo | 11:40 | |
| oscillik | i'm using it essentially as a landline at the moment, my SIP provider gives me an 0151 number and i use the N900 hooked up by WiFi for Skype and SIP | 11:40 |
| trumee | hmm, my N900 stinks in wifi. Sips calls are quite choppy | 11:40 |
| *** Svavel has joined #maemo | 11:40 | |
| oscillik | probably your router is playing a part in that, or other structural or frequency interference | 11:41 |
| trumee | oscillik, ieatlint, any idea whether you are using asterisk or freeswitch? | 11:41 |
| oscillik | trumee, i'm just using sipgate.co.uk | 11:41 |
| ieatlint | sip upstream... dunno what they're running it over | 11:41 |
| trumee | oscillik, ieatlint, i am running my own * server and N900 is rubbish with that. | 11:42 |
| vim____ | it's all about the green on black xterm, yeah bitches | 11:42 |
| ieatlint | i only use it when i need to make a call where there's no phone service but i have wifi | 11:42 |
| ieatlint | has worked well for my purposes | 11:42 |
| trumee | oscillik, i have incoming with voiptalk.org but dont use it very much. | 11:42 |
| trumee | ieatlint, what service provider are you with? | 11:43 |
| oscillik | a friend of mine is using his own asterisk server for his Nexus One SIP calls, and he's been having good results i think | 11:43 |
| ieatlint | a local dsl company that also offers sip-based phone service | 11:44 |
| trumee | oscillik, android based devices do better sip because some devs of freeswitch use droid themselves | 11:44 |
| trumee | oscillik, however N900 doesnt work with Freeswitch out of the box (hint. try calling to the voicemail) | 11:45 |
| *** lolloo has joined #maemo | 11:46 | |

| oscillik | another SIP provider? | 11:47 |
| trumee | oscillik, no, another sip software. | 11:47 |
| flux | a fork of asterisk I believe? | 11:47 |
| oscillik | ahh | 11:47 |
| trumee | This is sample call to voicemail with Freeswitch, http://174.132.148.146/ivr.wav | 11:48 |

| oscillik | yes, Android 2.3 Gingerbread comes with SIP functionality built into the OS | 11:52 |
| trumee | i will probably move over to android in the future for good sip support. | 11:53 |
| ieatlint | after playing with my gf's nexus s, i have to say that nokia better woo me in the near future, because as much as i love huge aspects of maemo (that will be present in meego), there are just too many things that are lacking | 11:53 |
| oscillik | i had an ADP1 (Android Dev Phone 1 - the developer version of the T-Mobile G1) and that got me hooked on Android | 11:54 |

| lardman | morning | 11:56 |
| vim____ | right, how do I OC this mutha? | 11:56 |
| ieatlint | still, when i switched to the n900 from android, the only things i really missed were google maps and the google sync | 11:56 |
| oscillik | Termana, don't stab yourself because of Android, stab yourself because Nokia dropped support for a phone before they even shipped it | 11:56 |
| oscillik | ;) | 11:57 |
| vim____ | oh and, THE OMPLETELY UNRESTRICTED TOOLCHAIN | 11:57 |
| lardman | any OpenGL (ES) gurus about? | 11:57 |
| ieatlint | now i look at froyo (or later) and see reliable mobile hotspot, awesome google voice support, an even better google maps (because holy shit the new release is AWESOME), and a lot of interesting 3rd party apps | 11:57 |
| oscillik | ieatlint, i missed an email client that worked, google maps, and no graphics tearing in portrait | 11:58 |
| vim____ | yeah, but can i play nethack? | 11:58 |
| ieatlint | like a fucking heart rate monitor that uses the camera... totally a gimmick app, but still pretty cool | 11:58 |
| trumee | ieatlint, can it do offline turn by turn? | 11:58 |
| oscillik | yes it can | 11:58 |
| ieatlint | trumee: yes | 11:58 |
| trumee | nice. | 11:58 |
| *** trx has quit IRC | 11:59 | |
| ieatlint | latest google maps release in december added it, and switched it all to vector-based maps for offline caching and offline route recalculation | 11:59 |
| * trumee loves everything about N900 except rubbish SIP support | 11:59 | |
| oscillik | ieatlint, actually google navigation had it before december | 11:59 |
| oscillik | it's just that google maps got offline capability too in december | 11:59 |
| ieatlint | ok | 12:00 |
| *** jpinx-ee1pc has quit IRC | 12:00 | |
| * trumee and lack of SYNCML support | 12:00 | |
| ieatlint | i still wouldn't do the nexus s myself... i need the hardware keyboard, but the g2 looks decent, and has a full 768mb of ram... | 12:00 |
| oscillik | see, that's the reason i went for the N900 back in Decmber 09 | 12:01 |
| oscillik | because of the keyboard | 12:01 |
| oscillik | but after using the Nexus One (and now the even better keyboard on the Nexus S), i'm not too bothered by lack of physical keyboard | 12:01 |
| ieatlint | i am... i tried using a nokia n8 for a couple weeks... and ugh | 12:02 |
| lardman | hmm, don't think I could put up with losing the screen space really | 12:02 |
| trumee | oscillik, oh really. i always thought software keyboards dont work well. | 12:02 |
| oscillik | lol that's because nokia touchscreen keyboards are wank | 12:02 |
| ieatlint | forget terminal, just typing was annoying, and that was with swype added on even | 12:02 |
| *** me|kor has joined #maemo | 12:02 | |
| ieatlint | i've used the current android keyboard... it was less impressive than swype in my opinion | 12:03 |
| ieatlint | but swype is available for android, heh | 12:03 |
| oscillik | ieatlint, the gingerbread keyboard? | 12:03 |
| ieatlint | yeah | 12:03 |
| *** dneary has quit IRC | 12:03 | |
| ieatlint | back in early december i played with a friend's nexus s, and my gf got one last week... not impressed, but as i'm generally not impressed by on-screen keyboards, that's not the biggest insult | 12:04 |
| ieatlint | tactile feedback (including touch-typing), screen real estate, and ability to do non-dictionary words and special symbols is paramount to usability for me | 12:05 |
| ieatlint | and an on-screen keyboard can't really compete | 12:05 |
| *** dneary has joined #maemo | 12:06 | |
| oscillik | well of course it's personal preference | 12:07 |
| oscillik | it's why i like Phil Collins and Huey Lewis And The News | 12:08 |
| oscillik | ;) | 12:08 |
| ieatlint | :P | 12:09 |

| ieatlint | with the n9 announcement still likely many months away... we'll see if the n900 can maintain my interest long enough :( | 12:10 |
| khertan_ | Morning | 12:10 |
| khertan_ | n9 annoucement ? | 12:10 |
| ieatlint | yeah, when nokia finally decides to make shit official | 12:11 |
| ieatlint | if i had to guess, at the next meego conference, heh | 12:11 |
| oscillik | lol i gotta say, after the debacle over the N900 and the prompt announcement 5 months after release that they were gonna drop Maemo for Meego, i'm never buying a Nokia device again | 12:12 |
| *** tilppis has joined #maemo | 12:12 | |
| khertan_ | ieatlint, i think the next meego conf will be were nokia announce their n9 | 12:12 |
| khertan_ | s/were/where | 12:12 |
| oscillik | lol i think the next meego conference they will delay again | 12:13 |
| khertan_ | but ... do not expect too much of meego :) | 12:13 |
| vim____ | is there an alternative terminal emulator? | 12:13 |
| ieatlint | i have a decent idea what meego will be :P | 12:13 |
| ieatlint | i'm more interested in the hardware refresh | 12:13 |
| khertan_ | you are lucky ... as to be honest i didn't know what meego will be | 12:13 |
| khertan_ | something locked by manufacturer | 12:14 |
| Arkenoi | unfortunately there will never be keyboard like e90 anymore. even n810 or better is unlikely to happen. | 12:14 |
| khertan_ | or something open | 12:14 |
| khertan_ | don't know | 12:14 |
| ieatlint | i don't know how far it will go, but i have an idea of what it will be as released | 12:14 |
| khertan_ | I ll like a refresh of a n810 with more powerfull cpu + more battery | 12:14 |
| khertan_ | :) | 12:14 |
| ieatlint | + more ram :P | 12:15 |
| khertan_ | yep + more ram | 12:15 |
| khertan_ | :) | 12:15 |
| khertan_ | n900 as too few ram too | 12:15 |
| Arkenoi | i'd like n900 in n810 form factor | 12:15 |
| khertan_ | same ... but with more ram | 12:15 |
| khertan_ | :) | 12:15 |
| Arkenoi | (and with more ram) | 12:15 |
| khertan_ | and bigger battery | 12:15 |
| khertan_ | :) | 12:15 |
| khertan_ | i already drain my n900 battery in 2 hours | 12:16 |
| ieatlint | i'm still shocked that phones seem to have hit this 512mb barrier | 12:16 |
| khertan_ | so i didn't imagin what will be with larger screen :) | 12:16 |
| oscillik | Arkenoi, Psion Series 5 keyboard > E90 keyboard ;) | 12:16 |
| ieatlint | only phone i've seen go over 512mb is the g2... | 12:16 |
| *** igagis has joined #maemo | 12:16 | |
| vim____ | how much friggin ram do you want? | 12:16 |
| vim____ | and why? | 12:16 |
| khertan_ | ieatlint, specially when i ve got 16Gb on my desktop | 12:16 |
| *** Aranel has joined #maemo | 12:16 | |
| khertan_ | vim____, 2Go | 12:17 |
| khertan_ | vim____, 2Gb will be good for me | 12:17 |
| vim____ | wtf? o0 | 12:17 |
| ieatlint | vim____: because shit takes ram | 12:17 |
| ieatlint | you have any idea how much a browser for instance uses? | 12:17 |
| khertan_ | vim____, because i compile onboard | 12:17 |
| vim____ | lol, ok | 12:17 |
| ieatlint | end up swapping, and shit gets slow | 12:17 |
| Arkenoi | oscillik, yep. well. Tor could be the best balanced: biggest one that still fits in any pocket | 12:17 |
| vim____ | it is aa pocket computer cellphone... | 12:17 |
| kerio | btw, the ps3 was completely broken | 12:17 |
| vim____ | not a mainframe | 12:17 |
| oscillik | Tor? | 12:17 |
| Arkenoi | psion 5 was a bit too large | 12:17 |
| Arkenoi | yep, tor. that motorola-psion combo that was never released | 12:18 |
| *** Chewtoy has quit IRC | 12:18 | |
| khertan_ | vim____, you know every small pc come with 8Gb of ram now | 12:18 |
| khertan_ | :) | 12:18 |
| Arkenoi | thor, actually | 12:18 |
| khertan_ | so why not 2Gb in a "pocket" pc | 12:18 |
| Arkenoi | i misnamed it | 12:18 |
| kerio | i want at least 1gb | 12:18 |
| kerio | 256mb is... really not enough | 12:18 |
| oscillik | Arkenoi, do you have a link for that? i'm interested in seeing that | 12:19 |
| khertan_ | clearly ... swap everytime | 12:19 |
| ieatlint | and even the nexus s is still sitting on 512mb | 12:19 |
| trumee | gmail in a browser is unusable on N900. | 12:19 |
| Arkenoi | http://milliways.chance.ru/~ark/images/thor.jpg this one, late 90's i think | 12:19 |
| ieatlint | i just don't get that | 12:19 |
| oscillik | woah | 12:19 |
| Arkenoi | some prototypes were sold on ebay | 12:19 |
| * oscillik wants | 12:19 | |
| * vim____ is eating sushhi for breakfast | 12:20 | |
| oscillik | although, i would imagine that the keyboard for that would be heavily based on the Revo keyboard, and that wasn't very great to use | 12:20 |
| oscillik | the Series 5 keyboard was about the smallest i could handle comfortably for touch typing | 12:20 |
| khertan_ | do not try to use more than 2Gb of swap in your n900 ... will result in sudden reboot | 12:20 |
| oscillik | i'm gonna be putting my Series 5mxPRO on ebay soon | 12:21 |
| oscillik | :( | 12:21 |
| *** Guest75056 has quit IRC | 12:21 | |
| * lardman imagines a Psion series 5 with updated insides and screen | 12:22 | |
| oscillik | even considering selling my netBook too | 12:22 |
| vim____ | what about a jornada 680 running linux? | 12:22 |
| Arkenoi | that thingie had bluetooth and grps, unlike 9210 that appeared on the scene later | 12:22 |
| oscillik | Arkenoi, i remember seeing a Revo prototype sell on eBay within the last year, and it had bluetooth | 12:23 |
| Arkenoi | but some marketing idiots decided to cancel it despite it was almost ready and prototypes were almost working | 12:23 |
| oscillik | Psion had their fingers in a lot of tech pies | 12:23 |
| Arkenoi | people who had hands on it reported heavy bluetooth battery drain and some other issues common for early bt devices, but almost everything else was functional | 12:24 |

| oscillik | and those front-facing keys on the keypad | 12:25 |
| * oscillik facepalms Nokia | 12:25 | |
| Arkenoi | i missed keyboard shortcuts much when i switched to e90 from 9500 | 12:26 |
| oscillik | yeah same here | 12:26 |
| Arkenoi | actually there was no reason not to provide the same shortcuts in s60 software, as there are plenty of models with qwerty keyboard | 12:28 |
| Arkenoi | just nobody cared to | 12:28 |
| vim____ | s60, so much potential | 12:28 |
| vim____ | squandered | 12:28 |

| flux | arkenoi, hm?-) | 12:30 |
| oscillik | omg | 12:30 |
| oscillik | lol | 12:30 |
| Arkenoi | flux, i ran wc -l on examples/hello , that is | 12:30 |
| flux | arkenoi, before or after compiling? there could be some intermediate generated files.. | 12:30 |
| Arkenoi | before! | 12:31 |
| vim____ | s60 development sucked balls | 12:31 |
| oscillik | i'm not a programmer, and i know that's a big lol | 12:31 |
| Arkenoi | then i downloaded PIPS to see if i can port some familliar unix things there | 12:31 |
| vim____ | good luck with that | 12:31 |
| Arkenoi | only to find out that e90 had completely broken console/stdio emulation | 12:32 |
| vim____ | making it COMPLETELY FUCKING WORTHLESS | 12:32 |
| Arkenoi | the keyboard layout was hardcoded, not related to system one anyhow and plain wrong | 12:32 |

| derf | No, in, also. | 16:22 |
| ieatlint | yeah | 16:22 |
| lardman | derf: I always found in was ok, just not enough time to run between terminals and needing to pay pesky baggage charges and pay for headphones and pay for tv and pay for alcohol | 16:23 |
| lardman | hmm, yeah it is also pretty rubbish flying in ;) | 16:23 |
| ieatlint | you complain that you fly into the US and get photographed and fingerprinted.... in order for us to fly within the US, we essentially need a gov issued id card that requires us get photographed, typically fingerprinted, and submit at least as much personal detail | 16:23 |
| lardman | but at least there's no 4hr queues | 16:23 |
| ieatlint | we just did it before we got to the airport is all | 16:24 |
| derf | lardman: The security stuff is just as bad for domestic as it is international. | 16:24 |
| lardman | nah I don;t care about security stuff, just the queuing | 16:24 |
| derf | All the 9/11 flights were domestic ones, after all. | 16:24 |
| derf | lardman: What do you think causes queues? | 16:24 |
| lardman | indeed, but there seems to be far less security for internal flights, far fewer checks on baggage and people | 16:24 |
| ieatlint | you go through security in at your point of departure | 16:25 |
| ieatlint | we just rape you a tad at customs is all | 16:25 |
| derf | Or take your electronics. | 16:25 |
| *** eMHa_ has joined #maemo | 16:25 | |
| lardman | indeed, which is why it's odd that internal flights seemed to be so easy compared with international ones where you'd already been checked on the way out | 16:26 |
| jacekowski | ieatlint: not so long ago in poland there was no law regading domestic flights | 16:26 |
| jacekowski | ieatlint: and you could fly without any id | 16:26 |
| jacekowski | ieatlint: from security point of view | 16:26 |
| derf | Anyway, the worst part about flying in the US is you have to use a US airline. | 16:26 |
| lardman | lol +1 | 16:27 |
| jacekowski | airlines required id to prove that you bought a ticket and stuff | 16:27 |
| ieatlint | jacekowski: pre-9/11 here... the rules also stated we could carry knives up to 10cm long on flights prior to 9/11 | 16:27 |
| *** KMFDM has joined #maemo | 16:27 | |
| jacekowski | and some people theretised that it could be even possible to skip security | 16:27 |
| derf | We'd be a lot safer if everyone carried a 10cm knife on flights. | 16:27 |
| jacekowski | on domestic flights | 16:27 |
| ieatlint | and a few years before that, airline tickets didn't used to be tied to names... whoever showed up with the paper ticket got on | 16:27 |
| jacekowski | but nobody tried that | 16:27 |
| lardman | derf: well except for air hostesses anyway (being safer that is) | 16:28 |
| jacekowski | i can bet | 16:28 |
| jacekowski | give me 10k | 16:28 |
| derf | lardman: Give them knives, too. | 16:28 |
| derf | And training. | 16:29 |
| jacekowski | and i can get you anything onto a plane | 16:29 |
| lardman | hmm, can't have an air hostess stab me for asking for headphones | 16:29 |
| ieatlint | good times | 16:29 |
| ieatlint | thank god i'm white | 16:29 |
| derf | ieatlint: Anyway, Bruce Schneier showed how it was still possible to get on a plane with your name on the no-fly list well after 9/11. | 16:29 |
| jacekowski | derf: i seen airport security from other side very often | 16:30 |
| jacekowski | derf: and how bad is it | 16:30 |
| jacekowski | derf: when i was working on the airport as contractor | 16:30 |
| derf | Well, his method worked even if everyone was doing their job. | 16:30 |
| jacekowski | we could get van full of stuff trough a gate | 16:30 |
| jacekowski | including bombs and other terrorist tools | 16:30 |
| ieatlint | yeah, i've heard the same stories | 16:30 |
| derf | I have no doubt. | 16:31 |
| jacekowski | but we couldn't get a bottle of coke | 16:31 |
| * RST38h dials the hotline | 16:31 | |
| jacekowski | somebody else on RAF base ran by americunts | 16:32 |
| ieatlint | my favourite was a contractor friend setting up monitoring systems for escalators and moving walkways at ATL. TSA refused their request to pull a network cable to the equipment, insisting it would be insecure | 16:32 |
| jacekowski | crossed airstrip without stopping | 16:32 |
| jacekowski | even though there was a green light | 16:32 |
| ieatlint | instead, they suggested a 3g modem | 16:32 |
| jacekowski | but you are supposed to stop before it | 16:32 |
| jacekowski | and they started chasing him | 16:32 |
| jacekowski | pointed gun at him | 16:32 |
| jacekowski | than after couple hours passed him to british police | 16:32 |
| *** rm_you has quit IRC | 16:32 | |
| RST38h | Ah, ATL, ATL, I still remember the lines to security there | 16:33 |
| *** PhonicUK has joined #maemo | 16:34 | |
| ieatlint | jacekowski: i'll be shocked only if they had their finger over the trigger when they pointed those guns | 16:34 |
| RST38h | Pretty impressive, about 3-4 hours standing time too | 16:34 |
| lardman | lol, I was travelling through Newark (hell-hole) and had 10min to make my flight, but the TSA people are really not interested | 16:34 |
| lardman | eventually I persuaded one to let me go to a short queue, but when I got to the front I was told it was for "dips and crips" only | 16:35 |
| jacekowski | thing is | 16:35 |
| RST38h | lardman: Thank god you did not have to exit the airport at Newark | 16:35 |
| lardman | diplomats and disabled people | 16:35 |
| lardman | RST38h: yes quite :) | 16:35 |
| jacekowski | how often they catch anybody with bomb or something | 16:35 |
| jacekowski | because so far | 16:35 |
| jacekowski | they failed every single time | 16:35 |
| RST38h | They do not | 16:35 |
| jacekowski | so when they caught somebody? | 16:36 |
| *** FIQ|n900 has quit IRC | 16:36 | |
| RST38h | TSA makes annual reports about their catch, but these are not widely circulated | 16:36 |
| RST38h | As far as I am aware, they never have | 16:36 |
| jacekowski | i'm pretty sure they would be if there will be numbers that are good for keeping all terrorist business running | 16:36 |
| jacekowski | i mean people would be much more friendly to them if they would be catching terrorist every day | 16:37 |
| jacekowski | but so far they are not | 16:37 |
| ieatlint | not to defend the TSA at all, but when was the last time we know of someone boarding a flight they handled security for with a bomb? | 16:37 |
| ieatlint | definitely not to defend them though :P | 16:37 |
| Termana | I wonder - am I crazy for wanting to become a US citizen? | 16:37 |
| jacekowski | Termana: yes | 16:37 |
| ieatlint | there have been so many visible breaches it's disgusting | 16:37 |
| Termana | Tooo bad I don't really fit into any of the permanent residence immigration categories | 16:37 |
| SpeedEvil | Termana: no | 16:37 |
| Termana | Too* | 16:37 |
| SpeedEvil | Termana: If you have rationally assessed the costs and benefits | 16:38 |
| jacekowski | Termana: and you are suicidal a bit | 16:38 |
| jacekowski | Termana: because everybody there may kill/shot you | 16:38 |
| jacekowski | or stab | 16:38 |
| *** pcacjr has joined #maemo | 16:38 | |
| ieatlint | we don't stab people, you're thinking of the uk | 16:38 |
| Termana | Seems like the only way to reasonably get a green card is to find someone that will employ you there | 16:39 |
| RST38h | Here, feed: http://publicintelligence.net/ufouo-tsa-transportation-suspicious-incident-report-tsir-august-2010/ | 16:39 |
| jacekowski | Termana: nope | 16:39 |
| jacekowski | Termana: you can get work visa that way | 16:40 |
| jacekowski | Termana: to get green card you have to go trough green card lottery and you may not get it | 16:40 |
| jacekowski | but there is no work requirements for green card | 16:40 |
| Termana | jacekowski, the US immigration site lists several categories to get a green card, having a job there and the business sponsoring you is one of them | 16:41 |
| RST38h | Full list of TSA reports and other documents here: http://publicintelligence.net/category/documents/united-states-documents/transportation-security-administration-united-states-documents-documents/ | 16:41 |
| jacekowski | Termana: nope | 16:41 |
| jacekowski | Termana: that's work visa | 16:41 |
| RST38h | Termana: It is a bit different than what you think | 16:42 |
| jacekowski | and then after many years of working like that you can apply for green card | 16:42 |
| RST38h | But, of course, the lottery is not the only way to get a green card | 16:42 |
| jacekowski | yeah, family of citizen | 16:42 |
| Termana | jacekowski, Green Card Through a Job Offer | 16:42 |
| Termana | You may be eligible to become a permanent resident based on an offer of permanent employment in the United States. Most categories require an employer to get a labor certification and then file a Form I-140, Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker, for you. | 16:42 |
| jacekowski | or family of somebody who has green card | 16:42 |
| RST38h | Not that jacekowski *needed* a green card, given his lowish opinion of "americunts" | 16:42 |
| jacekowski | i don't | 16:43 |
| jacekowski | as in i don't care | 16:43 |

| ieatlint | http://www.uscis.gov/greencard indeed does say employment is a method of obtaining it | 16:43 |
| RST38h | OMG it is NOT like you have seen in movies??? =) | 16:43 |
| ieatlint | jacekowski: where'd you go? | 16:44 |
| RST38h | ieatlint: Either employment (I140) or marriage (I141) | 16:44 |
| Termana | or Refugee or Asylum | 16:44 |
| Termana | but I can't claim those really coming from Australia :p | 16:44 |
| ieatlint | see, there you go... just go find some desperate woman who will do a sham marriage | 16:44 |

| ieatlint | remember, our military is *volunteer only* ... think about that | 16:45 |
| MohammadAG | LOL | 16:45 |
| RST38h | Yea, military service does not grant you a green card, sorry | 16:45 |
| ieatlint | RST38h: only a very small number, and it is only recognised at the state level -- it wouldn't help any federal things like green card apps | 16:45 |

| lardman | does it auto boot if you don't press anything? | 16:49 |
| Termana | RST38h, maybe I should become a religious workers qualify under special category of jobs | 16:49 |
| RST38h | lardman: no | 16:49 |
| jacekowski | ieatlint: i'm not saying it plainly sucks | 16:49 |
| Termana | I could live with 5 years of god worshipping to become a US citizen | 16:49 |

| jacekowski | ieatlint: but all bad things people said about it were mostly true | 16:50 |

| SpeedEvil | Termana: I think you have to have a complete knowledge of the works of American Idol these days. | 16:50 |
| lardman | but the digitiser is way off | 16:50 |
| RST38h | Termana: Openly worship Satan, make your local government prosecute you, apply for asylum | 16:50 |
| jacekowski | and things like hotel staff not speaking english | 16:50 |
| ieatlint | jacekowski: eh... i've no illusions with my country | 16:50 |
| jacekowski | not in front desk | 16:50 |
| ieatlint | there's way too much valid criticisms in fact | 16:51 |
| jacekowski | but something that never happened to me anywhere else | 16:51 |
| RST38h | jacekowski: Tried Polish? | 16:51 |
| jacekowski | ah that happened to me as well | 16:51 |
| jacekowski | bloke in elevator told me that his mother was polish | 16:51 |
| RST38h | "As frustration grows, airports consider ditching TSA" - Washington Post lays another egg | 16:52 |
| ieatlint | and yes, a large part of the people here don't speak english well... more when you count those who simply claim they don't | 16:52 |
| * lardman re-inserts battery with fingers crossed | 16:52 | |
| doc|home | RST38h: makes no difference. Chicken's already there | 16:52 |
| ieatlint | jacekowski: and in american mannerisms, stating that "my mother is polish" is more likely to mean "my mother is of polish descent" than is actually a polish national | 16:53 |
| lardman | hmm, startup screen now with wrong date and time | 16:54 |

| alterego | No | 17:22 |
| SpeedEvil | Thanks. | 17:23 |

| lardman | SpeedEvil: pre-summit | 17:51 |
| SpeedEvil | The TS are available, I think. | 17:51 |

| alterego | DocScrutinizer: how are you at debugging? | 17:59 |
| lardman | is there a way of getting out of insert mode in vi without using escape? | 17:59 |
| DocScrutinizer | sometimes brilliant | 18:00 |

| DocScrutinizer | you mentioned it | 18:00 |
| DocScrutinizer | I thought it's related to 60s timeout, but wasn't sure | 18:00 |
| alterego | Well, before it was to do with dynamic loading of my plugins, and the order in which I did it. | 18:00 |
| SpeedEvil | lardman: ctrl-Z? | 18:01 |
| DocScrutinizer | oh that one | 18:01 |
| lardman | SpeedEvil: ah, thanks | 18:01 |
| SpeedEvil | naah | 18:01 |
| alterego | This time, it seems that it works on some devices, but not on others (mine included). I can however run it when I start off with a clear environment. | 18:01 |
| alterego | So I did a bit of playing and it seems that the HOME env variable is causing this strange problem. | 18:01 |
| piggz | i set up nokia messaging on my n900, and it worked ok for a few days, then i got a 'Final Email' saying i would not be able to get more mail unless i upgrade my account. I am on 3 uk, is this because nokia messaging only works on orange uk? | 18:01 |
| SpeedEvil | ctrl-[ | 18:01 |
| SpeedEvil | but... | 18:02 |
| alterego | (at least that is what is causing it for me at the moment) | 18:02 |
| SpeedEvil | piggz: no | 18:02 |
| lardman | I don't suppose I can even edit the sources list though to enable extras-devel | 18:02 |
| lardman | because I don't have root | 18:02 |
| SpeedEvil | piggz: it's because they are turning off nokia messaging for free | 18:02 |
| lardman | have to enable r&d mode I suppose | 18:02 |
| alterego | Problem is, I (well Qt) needs the HOME variable to find and save it's configuration through QSettings .. | 18:02 |
| piggz | SpeedEvil: ah...i see no way to pay for it when i log into the website | 18:02 |
| DocScrutinizer | :nod: | 18:02 |
| SpeedEvil | piggz: I thought they were turning it off totally - I was inferring the paid from your above comment | 18:03 |
| piggz | ah | 18:03 |
| alterego | I don't know if it'll be easier to debug what's going on now I can reproduce the error and not having the error 100% | 18:03 |
| piggz | i wonder why they are turning it off, i found it quite good | 18:03 |
| DocScrutinizer | sure it is | 18:03 |
| SpeedEvil | piggz: And I see I misread it | 18:03 |
| alterego | (Again, only on my device) MohammadAG said it runs fine on his. | 18:03 |
| piggz | tho, i am happy with the imap | 18:04 |
| SpeedEvil | piggz: Because nokia does things that make no sense. | 18:04 |
| piggz | heh | 18:04 |
| alterego | And there seem to only be a couple of complaints relating to this problem. And hell, I can't even guarantee that this is the same issue they're having except the symptoms are identical :) | 18:04 |

| *** larsivi has quit IRC | 18:09 | |
| alterego | lardman: N900? | 18:11 |
| alterego | By working "not particularly well" do you mean the TS is off by a lot or that it just isn't working or requires a lot of pressure to work? | 18:12 |
| DocScrutinizer | alterego: starting location is done via a lib, right? What's state of GPS and location 'framework' when a program starts the service and then terminates (possibly ungracefully)? | 18:12 |
| lardman | alterego: yep | 18:12 |
| DocScrutinizer | nox-: moin | 18:13 |
| nox- | moin DocScrutinizer | 18:13 |
| lardman | alterego: it occassionally registers events, normally not where I tap, but no real way to know where, it sometimes only registers a keydown event, but no keyup | 18:13 |
| MohammadAG | alterego, then start it with the $HOME variable set :P | 18:13 |
| MohammadAG | or hardcode it to /home/user :P | 18:14 |
| DocScrutinizer | alterego: I could imagine the location framework getting severely confused or messed up if the "open" calls aren't paired wit "close" calls | 18:14 |
| lardman | looking in sketch, it seems to register where I press, but draws a squiggle from where I last pressed to the current location | 18:15 |
| DocScrutinizer | lardman: touchplane defect. swap | 18:16 |
| alterego | lardman: sounds like hw fault | 18:16 |
| alterego | :( | 18:16 |
| lardman | yeah, I think it's broken | 18:17 |
| lardman | ah well | 18:17 |
| alterego | DocScrutinizer: yeah, I'm going to try and hardcode paths into QSettings as well, to see if it's IO and not env that causes the issue. | 18:17 |
| DocScrutinizer | lardman: aiui the two foils making for the touchpanel are separated by soem oil. If that oil leaked or oxidized and hardened or whatever, you will see this problem. You need a new touchpanel | 18:17 |
| lardman | my wife will be pleased at least, no more trying to code this app up over the holidays | 18:17 |
| alterego | lardman: if it's out of warranty take it apart and check the connector :) | 18:18 |
| lardman | alterego: it's not mine, I'll send it back to Nokia | 18:18 |
| lardman | but thanks for the ideas | 18:18 |
| lardman | in fact thanks everyone for your help and ideas :) | 18:18 |

| *** jef91 has joined #maemo | 18:19 | |
| jef91 | So I had an extended battery on my N900 for a few weeks, but ended up going back to the stock battery because the device was a bit too bulky. However since doing this the battery reader on the N900 has been way off. It will suddenly drop from half to red and sometimes it even goes backwards (from red back up to 25%) after letting it sit for a little bit. Any ideas why this may be and how I can fix it? | 18:19 |
| lardman | I've had some bright spots for a year or so | 18:19 |
| lardman | so yeah, I guess old age/general ageing sort of problem finally come home to roost | 18:19 |
| alterego | jef91: you need to run it to flat and then fully charge it on mains adapter | 18:19 |

| lardman | HTC Tattoo, screen is quite small, on-screen kb is really annoying | 18:27 |
| DocScrutinizer | bme most probably has inherited an algorithm to calculate battery charge that's like 10 years old and seen only small evolutionary improvements. It takes into account vltage when idle, voltage when heavy load, and voltage when charging, and is using these values in a complex polynom to predict time-to-empty. At least that's what Nokia phones did 10 years ago, and bme acts exactly same way as those in quite a number of aspects | 18:27 |

| DocScrutinizer | maybe it never closes it again. So some "stack" in liblocation holds a "handle" that get stall. | 18:38 |

| *** FireFly|n900 has quit IRC | 19:46 | |
| kerio | we have the tools to implement a working direct democracy nowadays | 19:46 |
| SpeedEvil | kerio: No, we don't. | 19:46 |
| johnx | kerio, Uhm, doesn't that kind of inevitably lead to steamrolling the minorities? | 19:46 |
| *** Saviq is now known as Saviq_afk | 19:46 | |
| DocScrutinizer | yep | 19:47 |
| SpeedEvil | kerio: Direct democracy is predicated on a population that knows all the issues it's voting on. | 19:47 |
| DocScrutinizer | johnx: just in a different way than it is now | 19:47 |
| SpeedEvil | And - reasonably - has spent a bit of time thinking about each issue in a rational manner. | 19:47 |
| kerio | SpeedEvil: not sure if you noticed, but we also have tools to spread insane amounts of knowledge about anything anywhere in no time | 19:47 |
| SpeedEvil | kerio: You're missing the point. | 19:47 |
| kerio | SpeedEvil: do you think politicians are aware of the things they do? | 19:48 |
| SpeedEvil | kerio: You are presented with a bill to restrict fishing of a certain species of fish, in an area you have no direct knowledge of. | 19:48 |
| johnx | kerio, people are still working with squishy v1.0 human brains though, and are thus only capable of assimilating a certain amount of knowledge at a time | 19:48 |
| SpeedEvil | kerio: How do you vote? Given that you have 38000 votes to do that day on various issues. | 19:48 |
| kerio | SpeedEvil: no i'm not | 19:48 |
| kerio | because it's presented to the people living in that area | 19:48 |
| kerio | also our politicians work 3 days/week for about 4 hours | 19:49 |
| SpeedEvil | And the people living in the area don't care about fishing, as it's only 0.1% of the population who do it. | 19:49 |
| *** Sicelo has quit IRC | 19:49 | |
| SpeedEvil | At least in principle, politicians have quality advice to fall back on on each issue. | 19:49 |
| johnx | DocScrutinizer, well, then both the past and current implementations of democracy aren't perfect solutions then. Maybe it's time to do it over | 19:49 |
| kerio | SpeedEvil: so why should it be voted upon by people? | 19:49 |
| SpeedEvil | kerio: That is what direct democracy means | 19:49 |
| kerio | ...no | 19:50 |
| SpeedEvil | kerio: You get to make the decisions, not elected representatives. | 19:50 |
| DocScrutinizer | johnx: I'm not happy with any state | 19:50 |
| kerio | why should elected representatives decide upon a particular fish | 19:50 |
| johnx | DocScrutinizer, I kinda wished there was a way to make micro-nations work out ... | 19:51 |
| SpeedEvil | kerio: Because there has been concern raised that it's dangerously close to a level at which the current fishing efforts will collapse the stock - say. | 19:51 |
| DocScrutinizer | johnx: ack | 19:51 |
| RST38h | Ain't you gentlemen being extra gloomy tonight? Politics... | 19:51 |
| kerio | SpeedEvil: so there is an explanation | 19:51 |
| kerio | there are pros and cons | 19:51 |
| SpeedEvil | Tonight! I'm hoovering. | 19:51 |
| kerio | people can evaluate them | 19:51 |
| SpeedEvil | kerio: Right. But if it's one of a thousand decisions a day - how much effort are people going to take on deciding on each? | 19:52 |
| johnx | maybe we should just whip up an AI (or failing that an expert system) to run the gvmt | 19:52 |
| DocScrutinizer | SpeedEvil: built your hooverboard? | 19:52 |
| SpeedEvil | DocScrutinizer: No - I lack the ~$60000 | 19:52 |

| GAN900 | Which when you're talking about US states is almost always going to be somewhere. | 19:59 |
| SpeedEvil | johnx: I disagree - hoverboards need to go over uneven ground, and be capable of significant accelleration. | 20:00 |

Thus, now in Germany muster a UL-tested after gyroplane BUT as individual pieces or samples and be approved. Guidelines for the training of helicopter-carrying guide are currently being prepared and approved in about 2 years in all instances. The issue of a UL-gyroplane-licenses of the German Ultralight Association is responsible. No guidelines - no licenses - who | 21:11 |

| *** aziwoqpd has joined #maemo | 21:17 | |
| RST38h | (I mean, not the models, but the ultralights) | 21:17 |
| pupnik | oh they have but there's just this tradition in germany of delegating such authority to 'clubs' | 21:17 |
| pupnik | always a push/pull struggle over such things | 21:18 |
| cehteh | how much take-off space/runway do this autogyros need? | 21:18 |
| pupnik | depends, 0-200 meters | 21:19 |
| cehteh | they can make a vertical liftoff? | 21:19 |
| pupnik | those with 'jump capability' can | 21:19 |
| lcuk | RST38h, i am guessing though 0metres would lead to rather a short haircut | 21:19 |
| cehteh | ah ok but they need some space over ground to gain speed then | 21:19 |
| pupnik | youtube autogyro+jump | 21:19 |
| lcuk | - RST38h, | 21:19 |
| pupnik | yes | 21:19 |
| cehteh | well and you cant really hoover | 21:20 |
| pupnik | not so much, but 35km/h flight is no problem | 21:20 |
| cehteh | its more a plane without wings than a helicopter | 21:20 |
| pupnik | right and 1/10th the cost | 21:21 |
| cehteh | i tihnk old/small planes or ultralightweights are in the same range or even cheaper | 21:21 |
| cehteh | i guess a ultralightweight costs less than 50k Eur | 21:22 |
| cehteh | the most expensive things here in germany would be paperwork, license, checks, inspections, insurance and all after a few years anyways .. plus fuel | 21:23 |

| New_n900_User | So just got myself an n900 for christmas, upgraded to pr1.3 and installed a crap ton of apps. Unfortunately some of the ones I was looking forward to the most aren't working or even showing icons like smscon | 21:29 |
| pupnik | hey New_n900_User | 21:30 |
| RST38h | New: Suggestion #1: Do not install random apps, always check talk.maemo.org for possible problems | 21:31 |
| DocScrutinizer | always install one-by-one and test thoroughly | 21:32 |
| RST38h | my-maemo.org also has reviews of many apps, with screenshots | 21:32 |
| New_n900_User | haha, I've been stalking talk.maemo fora while now. None of the random apps were all that random. | 21:32 |
| DocScrutinizer | uninstall if you're not convinced | 21:32 |
| New_n900_User | But yeah, I should have tested one at a time... | 21:32 |
| lcuk | New_n900_User, just reboot | 21:32 |
| lcuk | which apps dont work? | 21:32 |
| New_n900_User | lcuk, if that fixes it I'm going to kick myself. | 21:32 |
| pupnik | lcuk: ++ for correct advice | 21:33 |
| DocScrutinizer | wtf? you installed tons of apps without a single boot? | 21:33 |
| RST38h | Well, he did have the initial boot, didn't he? =) | 21:33 |
| DocScrutinizer | LOL | 21:33 |
| pupnik | well you shouldn't* have to reboot linux, but with maemo5 there are some issues with apps not appearing in the menu | 21:33 |
| mtnbkr | It's Linux! :) | 21:33 |
| DocScrutinizer | MEHEHE | 21:33 |
| New_n900_User | dropn900 and smscon editor | 21:33 |
| New_n900_User | I haven't found anything else. | 21:33 |
| lcuk | ok so what doesnt work about them | 21:34 |
| lcuk | and does the author say they are ready | 21:34 |
| DocScrutinizer | pupnik: quite some services aren't starting correctly without a reboot | 21:34 |
| mtnbkr | pupnik: BTW, I now officially want that helicopter for Christmas (next year) :) | 21:34 |
| lcuk | or mentioning things about nuts and a vice | 21:34 |
| New_n900_User | Well smscon editor starts up and then shuts down without an error message and dropn900 doesn't seem to do anything when I click it's icon. | 21:34 |
| New_n900_User | (restarting now) | 21:34 |
| *** nox- has quit IRC | 21:34 | |

| lcuk | so I should just try clicking the icon next time? | 21:36 |
| New_n900_User | Enh, who am I to judge? To each his own. | 21:36 |
| New_n900_User | And by icons not showing up I don't mean in the application list but simply that they get a little blue square when they had icons in the app manager. | 21:37 |
| DocScrutinizer | New_n900_User: customizing your N900 is a hobby for weeks | 21:37 |
| New_n900_User | uhoh... | 21:38 |
| DocScrutinizer | New_n900_User: each app should get a thorough test by you, including a boot and check for battery/cpu hogs and filling up any filesystems | 21:38 |
| New_n900_User | I shut it down and it's not coming back on. Shows Nokia and then shuts off. | 21:38 |
| DocScrutinizer | if you think the app has issues, uninstall it. Don't forget to use backup app frequently | 21:39 |

| user_ | \nick epp | 21:39 |
| DocScrutinizer | New_n900_User: too bad, you probably installed some bootmanager, or have a drained battery | 21:39 |
| New_n900_User | hmm seems I installed a bootmanager but if I choose internal flash it just shuts off. | 21:40 |
| user_ | hey are there any other repos i should add for more cool downloads? | 21:40 |
| DocScrutinizer | New_n900_User: first: switch off device, remove and instert battery. then hook up to nokia wallcharger, and see if it starts flashing amber | 21:41 |
| New_n900_User | (It was at 76% battery when I shut it off) | 21:41 |
| New_n900_User | ok | 21:41 |
| *** scoobertron has quit IRC | 21:41 | |
| DocScrutinizer | don't ask | 21:41 |
| DocScrutinizer | charging is about system as much as about battery charge | 21:41 |
| DocScrutinizer | odds are you end in bootmenu as well when plugging in the N900 to charger | 21:42 |
| New_n900_User | yeah | 21:42 |
| DocScrutinizer | so that's probably time for your first flashing experience | 21:42 |

| New_n900_User | Well, already have it all downloaded from flashing the pr1.3 | 21:43 |
| DocScrutinizer | installing and maintaining bootmanagers is a delicate task, and esp multiboot is known to be nasty | 21:43 |
| DocScrutinizer | and doing havok to system | 21:43 |
| user_ | what extra repos should i add | 21:43 |
| New_n900_User | user_, I'd stick with just testing. | 21:43 |
| New_n900_User | user_, leave dev for the nutcases | 21:44 |
| DocScrutinizer | user_: if you're asking this way, my advice is: none | 21:44 |
| New_n900_User | DocScrutinizer, So I honestly don't think I installed a bootmanager, I just said that because it came to that boot selection screen and I figured I could have misclicked somewhere. Is that there by default? | 21:45 |
| New_n900_User | So I spent a longggg time installing apps, anyway to not have to reflash? | 21:46 |
| user_ | im no rookie to nix. im just wondering if there is any repos besides testing and dev that have cool packages | 21:46 |

| DocScrutinizer | yeah, that would work if we had such a simple program | 22:36 |
| ShadowJK | I hope this bootmenu fiasco isn't in extras | 22:38 |
| DocScrutinizer | some 40 lines of assembler would be sufficient, but we don't have them yet | 22:38 |
| ShadowJK | well, alot of dubious sounding crap turns up with apt-cache search boot anyway :) | 22:39 |
| DocScrutinizer | hehehe | 22:39 |
| DocScrutinizer | I bet it does | 22:39 |

| DocScrutinizer | for New_n900_User's case we don't even know which app it's been he installed | 22:40 |
| ShadowJK | I really wish it was either fixed or kept out of extras | 22:40 |
| DocScrutinizer | yea sure | 22:40 |
| DocScrutinizer | first identify it | 22:41 |
| ShadowJK | all those things that undoubtedly have a "do this or else it bricks" thread on tmo | 22:41 |
| DocScrutinizer | then check if it's really in extras, and if it's really broken or this has been pebkac | 22:41 |

| DocScrutinizer | flashing kernel en passant while booting isn't a nice idea | 22:43 |
| DocScrutinizer | it could run out of battery while flashing, user could decide to abort, all sorts of mess can happen and "brick" your device in a blink, when multiboot does those nasty things | 22:44 |
| DocScrutinizer | that's stickly a hack to either thrill or roll up toes' nails of hardcore devels, but never should reach end user | 22:46 |
| DocScrutinizer | strictly* | 22:46 |
| DocScrutinizer | not even in devel | 22:47 |
| jacekowski | DocScrutinizer: i think it will try again | 22:50 |
| jacekowski | DocScrutinizer: on next boot | 22:50 |
| jacekowski | DocScrutinizer: because flashing of kernel is done by nolo | 22:51 |
| DocScrutinizer | if the kernel flashing process gets aborted, you'll end up with a non-booting system that also won't retry to flash kernel | 22:51 |
| jacekowski | how | 22:52 |
| DocScrutinizer | or did I miss some nice little bit? | 22:52 |
| jacekowski | if flashing is done before even kernel boot | 22:52 |
| jacekowski | there could be no kernel at all | 22:53 |
| DocScrutinizer | jacekowski: ??? | 22:53 |
| jacekowski | as in you start flashing from phone | 22:53 |
| jacekowski | what flasher does then is move it somewhere on nand | 22:53 |
| DocScrutinizer | we're talking about autonomous or on-system flashing here | 22:53 |
| jacekowski | and yes | 22:53 |
| jacekowski | then you wipe current kernel from nand | 22:53 |
| jacekowski | and reboot | 22:53 |
| jacekowski | and as far as i know | 22:53 |
| jacekowski | phone will still boot | 22:54 |
| jacekowski | because nolo will see that it's supposed to flash new kernel | 22:54 |
| jacekowski | and will do it | 22:54 |
| DocScrutinizer | wut? | 22:54 |
| jacekowski | all flashing is done by nolo | 22:54 |
| Venemo | interesting that you're talking about this on new year's eve :) | 22:54 |
| jacekowski | and only by nolo | 22:54 |
| RST38h | 6 minutes to NY | 22:54 |
| DocScrutinizer | nolo just hands through the bytes from flasher | 22:54 |
| jacekowski | yes | 22:54 |
| DocScrutinizer | flasher runs either on your laptop or - here - in a booted up maemo system | 22:55 |
| jacekowski | yes | 22:55 |
| jacekowski | but on system flasher is different | 22:55 |
| DocScrutinizer | if there's no kernel in nand, how is maemo supposed to boot to run flasher? | 22:56 |
| jacekowski | flashing is done by nolo | 22:56 |
| jacekowski | after flasher tells it to flash | 22:56 |
| jacekowski | on system flasher moves kernel to special area that nolo reads on next boot | 22:57 |
| jacekowski | and then does real flashing | 22:57 |
| DocScrutinizer | where is that special area? what's the 'flag' NOLO reads on next boot to know it has to flash kernel from that area? | 22:58 |
| Venemo | I would guess that kind of information is not disclosed | 22:58 |
| jacekowski | let me get my other laptop out | 22:59 |
| DocScrutinizer | I would guess jacekowski has his own sources of info, when he claims such things | 22:59 |
| * SpeedEvil wonders if jacekowski has a cellar with a secure door. | 22:59 | |
| DocScrutinizer | well, I feel like heading out to have a beer and my fair share of madness in the streets | 23:02 |
| SpeedEvil | Good luck! | 23:02 |
| DocScrutinizer | still 2h left over here | 23:02 |

| trumee | MohammadAG: Regarding fmtx, what does it mean, "I modified it to say off and turn on the FMTX when it's held, but it uses system() so I won't share it." | 23:50 |
| trumee | MohammadAG: what is wrong with using system() ? | 23:50 |

| ptl | does anyone have a bullet-list with the reasons of 'why ipv6 is better for mobile phones than ipv4'? Discounting the number of addresses. | 23:51 |
| kerio | it's... not | 23:51 |
| ptl | not??? why not? | 23:52 |
| kerio | why? | 23:52 |
| ptl | I do not know enough of ipv6 to say it is or it isn't. This is just what I am trying to find out. But everyone from google seems to agree that ipv6 is better. | 23:54 |
| ptl | I am assuming it is better and trying to find out why | 23:54 |
| ptl | Please don't confuse me further :P | 23:54 |

| SpeedEvil | It is not - in the current state of the internet - better | 23:59 |
