MohammadAGI put it in the N900 and it said error initializing card00:01
MohammadAGN95 said Memory Card Password:00:01

Skyscraperhow big is the maemo sdk? oO00:08
ShadowJKi thought intel's sata3g issue wasn't e-migration?00:08
DocScrutinizerdamage done already. I'll never buy a used N900. And I cba any longer to try and educate all those fools that brag with 1.2GHz in their tmo signature00:08
DocScrutinizerSkyscraper: some 5GB iirc00:08
Skyscraperhm i have 5GB left... its running on step 500:09
*** ftrvxmtrx has quit IRC00:09
*** ftrvxmtrx has joined #maemo00:09
DocScrutinizerSkyscraper: at least that's what the /scratchbox folder bites out of my HDD here00:09
Skyscraperits "5/11 Installing SDK targets"00:09
VenemoDocScrutinizer: reacting to your used N900 comment, I actually realized that buying a separate phone and a tablet costs less than buying one device that's both00:10
VenemoDocScrutinizer: I don't really understand the reason behind this though.00:10
SkyscraperVenemo: iPhone and iPad together is cheaper than n900? :D00:10

*** rcg has quit IRC00:17
VenemoSkyscraper: but a phone that is just a phone, plus an Archos tablet are.00:17
VenemoSkyscraper: Archos 43 can do everything that N900 can, except the phone functionality00:18
DocScrutinizerVenemo: I've had that several times, like 6210 + palmpilot-V00:19
VenemoI don't own one, but next time I'll buy some devices, I'll look around the tablet market more00:19
DocScrutinizerVenemo: always found it's missing the point00:19
VenemoDocScrutinizer: what's missing the point?00:19
SkyscraperVenemo: is it linux based?00:19
VenemoSkyscraper: yes00:20
VenemoSkyscraper: it uses crapdroid, but MeeGo is ported to it00:20
DocScrutinizerto have a tablet that can't manage your contacts so you got phone call integration. A phone that can access internet but only does WAP00:20
SkyscraperVenemo: armel?00:20
haltdefDocScrutinizer, was it you i was talking to about stereo channels getting swapped?00:20
VenemoSkyscraper: yep00:20
DocScrutinizeryes00:20
haltdefwell, confirmed00:20
DocScrutinizer:-S00:20
VenemoDocScrutinizer: mhm. yeah, the N900 is a great all-round device :)00:20
VenemoDocScrutinizer: I actually like the concept of the old NITs00:21
SkyscraperVenemo: is ubuntu possible?00:21
haltdefscared the shit out of me when it swapped, quickly fired up my left/right wav to confirm00:21
VenemoSkyscraper: I didn't research ubuntu00:21
DocScrutinizerwhich app?00:21
DocScrutinizerwhat user action to trigger swap?00:21
*** tackat has quit IRC00:21
SkyscraperVenemo: ubuntu runs on n900 from sd :)00:21
*** ftrvxmtrx has joined #maemo00:22
VenemoSkyscraper: I don't care about ubuntu00:22
SkyscraperVenemo: ubuntu is very nice00:22
VenemoSkyscraper: it probably is, but it's not designed to be used on tablets00:22
VenemoSkyscraper: for tablet/netbook experience, I'd rather just use MeeGo00:22
SkyscraperVenemo: theres a netbook version from ubuntu00:23
*** javispedro has joined #maemo00:24

MohammadAGjavispedro, has any company ever locked cards to its devices?00:37
MohammadAGI thought all cards followed a spec00:37
MohammadAGSandisk, Nokia, etc, they all follow the same spec00:37
MohammadAGand aren't all (well, most) chips in memory cards from Samsung, which makes the whole argument I had invalid on the guy's side00:38

MohammadAGSkyscraper, if you're on ARMEL, switch to X86, also, export DISPLAY=:000:55
jacekowskiMohammadAG: samsung and toshiba00:55
MohammadAGerr, :200:55
MohammadAGand start a xephyr window if you have none00:55
Skyscraperjacekowski: hm i have problems with my ram in windows... dont know why... memtest says all ok00:56
SkyscraperMohammadAG: its x86 target... why DISPLAY=:0?00:56
MohammadAG:2, my bad00:56
jacekowskiMohammadAG: there are 3 manufacturers of flash chips00:56
MohammadAGmake sure you have the right Xephyr window open00:56

MohammadAGsymbian's locking mechanism is retarded00:58
jacekowskijavispedro: and then if you don't have correct password it will just fail miserably00:58
MohammadAGyou NEED a symbian device to unlock it00:58
javispedroyeah, but this is on what they sell as blank cards00:58
jacekowskinope00:58
jacekowskithese cards are locked00:58
jacekowskiyou can reset them some way00:59
jacekowskibut it wipes everything on it00:59
*** ohwhyme has joined #maemo00:59
javispedrothen again I never put much thought on that card as I guess I would find it out it was counterfeit.00:59
MohammadAGjacekowski, just format the card00:59
MohammadAGwhat if I need the data on them though01:00
jacekowskijavispedro: as i said there are only 3 manufactureres of flash chips01:00
jacekowskibut01:00
Skyscraperi started reinstalling sdk... go to sleep... good night01:00
jacekowskion top of flash chip01:00
jacekowskiyou need controller01:00
jacekowskiand there is lot of manufacturers of them01:00
jacekowskiand that's what makes card an SD card or compact flash or memory stick or whatever01:00

jonwilheh, there are rumors that Nokia is going to switch to Windows Phone...04:28
jonwilhttp://www.nytimes.com/2011/02/04/technology/04nokia.html?_r=404:28
jonwilIMO switching to Windows Phone would really hurt Nokia04:29
*** chigga has joined #maemo04:31
wmaronethere have been rumors of that for weeks04:31
wmaronethe hiring postings lend no creedence to it04:32
ieatlinteverything i've heard from nokia employees has been firmly without question or vagueness, that meego is nokia's future04:32
*** noodles900 has quit IRC04:34
ieatlintalso, nokia spent $3.9bn US on R&D in 2010 (apple comparatively spent less than $1bn on phones)... if they spent that only to use MS software, their shareholders would also be very upset04:34
ShadowJKthe argument is that they'd save a large part of that 4bn by letting MS spend it on Windows phone :P04:35
jonwilI think the rumors partially come because the new head of Nokia is ex-MS04:36
ShadowJKThe general idea seems to be that Nokia with its name could put windows phonew into consumers' pockets.04:36
*** b0unc3 has joined #maemo04:37

ShadowJK(referring to the old classical: if you're a hip consumer you don't get to have any RAM memory at all, storage memory that fills up and crashes phone after installing one app. If you're a "business" person you get RAM and stainless steel or aluminium, but no multimedia)04:42

ShadowJKWhich DST?06:36
johnxheh06:36

ShadowJKSince the dates vary depending on where you are06:36

ShadowJK"These limitations have caused problems. For example, before 2005, DST in Israel varied each year and was skipped some years. Windows 95 used rules correct for 1995 only, causing problems in later years. In Windows 98 Microsoft marked Israel as not having DST, forcing Israeli users to shift their computer clocks manually twice a year. The 2005 Israeli Daylight Saving Law established predictable rules using the Jewish calendar but Windows zone files cannot06:42

DocScrutinizertemperature is a factor, yes. Though not as much as current density (electron wind) is. Overvoltage doesn't apply really for OMAP anyway as SmartReflex has micro regulators for, like, every single gate on chip, so a higher core voltage applied just increases power dissipation of those regulators, while the gates themselves get the voltage they need for the particular clock10:06

SpeedEvilThere are generally valid cases for opening most bits of hardware - even if it seems not at first glance. Of course, just because something is open does not mean that people will be interested enough to develop stuff in a timely manner.11:18
SpeedEvilEnough people.11:18
SpeedEvilFor example - the remaining openmoko distributions are interesting, and would have been compelling if they'd existed 3 years ago. But it's a relatively few people working on them, so progress is slow.11:19

jonwilThe problem with the OpenMoko stuff and the Freerunner is that the hardware was obsolete even before it went into production.11:56
jonwilThe N900 on the other hand has good hardware IMO11:56

psycho_oreosits more or less the same issue with n900 isn't it? :)11:58
SpeedEvilIn xmas 2007, they could have had a working functional phone stack with X/gtk. It was not very pretty, but it basically worked.11:58
SpeedEvil(based on the march 2007 software stack)11:58
jonwilThe FreeRunner isn't even quad band GSM, let alone EDGE or 3G11:58
jonwilit has no 3G whatsoever11:58
jonwilI mean 3D11:58
psycho_oreosagain it was budgeting constraint :)11:58
SpeedEvilThey then went and changed the software stack several times to make it 'shiny', and did the same with the hardware - that got delayed, and turned out to be not great.11:59
jonwilI think the real problem for FreeRunner people was finding someone willing to let them have the hardware they wanted and to make things open enough11:59
psycho_oreosand again n900 also failed in that path12:00
SpeedEvilIn another universe, they bugfixed the neo1973, and just sold the damn thing with a working phone stack, some basic apps, and little else.12:00
psycho_oreosnot everything inside n900 was open12:00
SpeedEvilAnd use the funds to polish.12:00
SpeedEvilAnd then sold lots more.12:00
jonwilonly things on N900 not open on the linux side are the GPU and GPS AFAIK12:00

DocScrutinizer51meh, bme requirement specs are no way reasonable to keep closed as well12:22
*** petrux has joined #maemo12:23

jonwilwell everything we need to know to make the replacement compatible with the real thihng12:23
DocScrutinizer51and generally Nokia still doesn't really *push* openness. It's more like they tolerate they have to deal with it for linux12:24
*** petrux has quit IRC12:25
DocScrutinizer51they still think they can differentiate via software12:26
jonwiltop of my wishlist for openness would be libbmeipc-dev package, info on ICD policy plugins (preferably code for the stock plugins), info in the IncomingCBS dbus signal and info on the isi/phonet calls for GPS12:26
DocScrutinizer51isi cmt API (a)gps specs, isi cmt SMSCB specs12:27
jonwilwell SMSCB would be covered by the IncomingCBS signal12:28
jonwileverything seems to be in place if someone was able to hook up to that signal and do something with the actual messages12:28
DocScrutinizer51full datasheet of BB5 rapuyama interfacing12:29
DocScrutinizer51jonwil: incoming smscb must get enabled by a command to cmt12:29
DocScrutinizer51the gsm stack changes to an other operation mode12:30
jonwilwell in that case there must be something sent via DBUS to csd-sms plugin12:31
jonwilthats the most logical answer12:31
DocScrutinizer51so you have to tell cellmo chip 'please enable smscb'12:31
jonwilI cant find anything in ofono that handles "enable SMSCB" as such12:31
jonwilor sends such an "enable" packet12:32

*** jhb has quit IRC14:45
yaccDocScrutinizer: yeah because IPv6 is meant to be NAT-free ;)14:45
DocScrutinizerit's just usually porly implemented14:45
lindi-DocScrutinizer: but ipv6 is not here yet14:45
yaccDocScrutinizer: Actually, have you tried to run SIP at some random WLAN with some random NAT-ing router? Not a very reliable experience, ...14:45
*** jhb has joined #maemo14:46
DocScrutinizerand it actually doesn't play nice with NAT14:46
*** chenca has joined #maemo14:46
*** Dialekt has joined #maemo14:46
DocScrutinizerbut that is a common problem for all services you offer on your box14:46
villagerDocScrutinizer: well, the easiest would have been to not answer my lines, since they were not intended for you to answer... yet you insisted on arguing with me largely irrelevant points for no reason, when I gave several reasons not to argue because I had not disagreed with you... I simply don't get it, why do you enjoy arguing so much, then?14:47
yaccDocScrutinizer: So if you just happen to be on one of these common networks where all devices have visible valid IP addresses, you are fine. (Well, visible valid IP addresses from the PoV of your PBX/SIP provider), ...14:47
DocScrutinizeryacc: still it worked like a charm for me, for ~3 years14:47
lindi-DocScrutinizer: also afaik SIP has some "Call-ID" fields that are free form strings with no upper limit in the standard. that makes connection tracking kernel space tricky14:47
yaccDocScrutinizer: Well, it was a PITA to setup even on my home WLAN, ...14:47
lindi-DocScrutinizer: using something like 64-bit identifier would have been nicer14:47
lindi-DocScrutinizer: so that you don't need to strcmp() for every SIP packet ...14:48
lindi-yep SIP does not work to my SIP provider with my WLAN for some reason. it is double-NAT which might have something to do with it but it's hard to debug since I can't see what's on the other side of the outer nat14:49
DocScrutinizerlindi-: how's that going to matter? SIP data volume for a call are some few hundered bytes, to establish and tear down the call. The rest is RTP14:50
lindi-DocScrutinizer: it'd be a lot easier to be able to use fixed lenght identifier14:50
DocScrutinizermeh14:51
lindi-anyways, my notes on setting up SIP quickly and painlessly are at   http://lindi.iki.fi/lindi/sip/asterisk.txt14:51
DocScrutinizerthe main problem of SIP is it's doing things *right*, I.E. tries to establish a point2point 2way connection between the 2 peers of a call14:52
*** chx has joined #maemo14:52
lindi-DocScrutinizer: depends on who you ask :)14:52
DocScrutinizerwhile skype for example is using relays whenever needed, so you don't have the NAT issue14:52
lindi-DocScrutinizer: I'd very much like to have a more general purpose transport than IP14:53
DocScrutinizereven more general purpose than IP? o.O ;-P14:53
lindi-DocScrutinizer: a library that'd just have "send_data_to("Alice@foo.bar", buf);"14:53
yaccDocScrutinizer: That's a very theoretical PoV, for the last decade or so, establishing a true P2P connection has been only of limited practical value.14:53
lindi-DocScrutinizer: and it'd then use whatever means it needs to use to send that buf to alice14:54
lindi-DocScrutinizer: be it ipv4, ipv6 or decnet :P14:54
lindi-DocScrutinizer: udp, tcp or HTTP proxy14:54
DocScrutinizeryacc: please elaborate14:54
DocScrutinizerlindi-: well, that's SIP ;-D14:55
yaccDocScrutinizer: Well, for at least the last decade we are living with NATing routers being standard. Not as in used by geeks, but by "put in" by ISPs by default at your Grandma's place.14:55
yaccDocScrutinizer: With most ISP standard setup, you get a NATed address even if you have exactly one PC at home, ...14:56
* SpeedEvil waves his static IP back and forth.14:56
DocScrutinizeryeah, and SIP mitigated that by introducing STUN, hosted NAT traversal (even including relays), ICE, and whatnot14:57
yaccDocScrutinizer: Just presuming that you can establish a direct TCP connection to a peer, without planning in a well working workaround that is there by default, is, well, not very practical.14:57
lindi-SpeedEvil: one static IP only helps if you don't move :)14:57
lindi-SpeedEvil: try using it while in cafe, library, university, bus14:57
DocScrutinizeryacc: check N900 SIP advanced setting: you'll find STUN there14:58
lindi-DocScrutinizer: yeah SIP tried a lot but it's not enough unfortunately14:58
yaccSpeedEvil, static IPs are bad, I cannot easily get a new IP either, and that sucks when trying to fetch something from rapidshare or similar services ;(14:58
markinfowhat about Accu for n900?   it seems that it last one day - it is also very small accu.14:58
DocScrutinizerlindi-: it is14:58
SpeedEvillindi-: vpn14:58
lindi-SpeedEvil: that only works for you, not for your grandma14:58
lindi-SpeedEvil: and it's very inefficient to relay all the traffic to your home14:59
DocScrutinizerlindi-: it's users at large that don't put the meassures to purpose correctly14:59
yaccDocScrutinizer: yeah, I had STUN support on my E61 too, and it still took enabling a STUN proxy on my router to make it work :(14:59
GeneralAntillesDamn, NOLO tries for about 10 seconds then dies.14:59
SpeedEvilI would be really, really surprised if my grandma required internet.14:59
lindi-DocScrutinizer: well STUN does not help if the only way out is through a http proxy14:59
GeneralAntillesThat's unfortunate.14:59
DocScrutinizeryacc: now that's completely off14:59

*** renatofilho has joined #maemo15:00
markinfowhat about contacts on MSN and ICQ network? Is it necessary to use Pidgin?15:00
DocScrutinizeryacc: STUN "just works" with all but symmetric NAT (which never can work for p2p), and if your router has a SIP ALG that's fsckng broken, then how's SIP RFC going to fix that?15:01
yaccDocScrutinizer: Plus SIP via UMTS (because it's usually NATed, and even non-NATed providers do manipulate traffic, I've found) is about as reliable as roulette ;)15:01
lindi-DocScrutinizer: SIP RFCs are not going to be able to fix things anymore :(15:01
*** drj_cro has quit IRC15:01
*** BCMM has quit IRC15:02
lindi-DocScrutinizer: for example at our university all outgoing udp traffic and incoming tcp connections are blocked15:02
yaccDocScrutinizer: Notice that the broken router as you call it was OpenWRT, and for example Skype just worked. (Well, the common problem for Skype is audio device trouble. The common problem for SIP in my "support family" is how to get the stupid thing to connect).15:02
villagermarkinfo: you can install the conversation plugins to add them to your contacts/conversations same way as sip/skype, but I think I found that some of them slurped up even more battery power than skype did15:02
DocScrutinizerlindi-: so what?15:03
lindi-DocScrutinizer: stun uses udp?15:03
DocScrutinizeryacc: skype "just worked" because it's abusing other peers as relays15:03
lindi-DocScrutinizer: the free alternative could have that as an optional feature15:04
*** arno0ob has joined #maemo15:04
DocScrutinizerlindi-: yes, usually. Though I'm not sure if tcp-SIP would also switch STUN to tcp - it *should* though15:04
lindi-DocScrutinizer: do you want to debug this?15:05
DocScrutinizernot really, why should I15:05
lindi-DocScrutinizer: well I couldn't figure out how to make this work15:05

lindi-DocScrutinizer: I have a SIP subscription from my ISP and ssh -X access to the university machine15:07
DocScrutinizerlindi-: see, if your traffic is blocked, then SIP is not supposed to work. Why should anybody bother to work around this. It's like asking to help on fraud15:07
lindi-DocScrutinizer: not supposed to work?15:08
markinfoThere is no something like systray on Maemo?  Or it is this Surface with 6 squares?15:08
DocScrutinizeryes15:08
DocScrutinizererr, actually the bar where closk is15:09
lindi-DocScrutinizer: if you put it that way then the problem with SIP is that network administrators do not support it enough15:09
DocScrutinizeryes15:09
lindi-DocScrutinizer: and this makes SIP unsuitable even if it is not SIPs fault15:09
DocScrutinizerSIP is not designed to work against network config, it's assuming a somewhat sane config15:10

DocScrutinizerlindi-: fine. One very common problem (maybe even a flaw in that partucular STUNlib implementation) is the 'ping'-test to own IP. Many networks have local-loopback disabled, which means you can't reach your very own public IP though everybody outside your LAN can. STUNlib fails on this, detecting a false positive on symmetric NAT15:21

DocScrutinizerit *should* search for available alternative WLAN as soon as the present connection stalls. So 10 minutes is OK usually. It only means you'll swap from GPRS  to WLAN after max 10min, and it may take up to 10min after you come home til WLAN is detected&connected16:13

DocScrutinizermakulkar_laptop: you are aware that when you plug in USB N900 to desktop PC, then the ssh connection is via USB and has *nothing* to do with your possibly existing LAN?22:02
*** thomasjfox has joined #maemo22:02
DocScrutinizerI.E if you want to reach N900 from laptop, you need to plug the N900 USB to laptop22:03
MohammadAGthe N9 should have two USB ports to solve that issue22:03
makulkar_laptopDocScrutinizer, yeah. I mentioned about LAN because to convey IP address range are same. Device has some valid/invalid range22:03
MohammadAGalso useful if one USB breaks22:03

dan2003Hi guys, im making a little homescreen widget which monitors a value (obtained via JSON from a server), I am comparing this value with some defineable limits and wish to sound an alarm when it is outside the safe area. I have managed to make a libnotify bubble work, i now wish to make it produce a sound - it must produce this sound eveb of profile is set to silent - this is imeperitve. What would be the best way to do this?22:17

*** renatofilho has quit IRC22:23
dan2003im not sure actually - will need to study and test - the alarm is more important than a phone call, this example seem sto give a phone call higher priority22:24

Tu13esso i've got an n800 on my desk and i have no idea what to use it for22:28
Tu13esis it worth trying to find something to do with it?22:28
Tu13esI have an iPhone which does pretty much everything I want in a mobile device22:28
dan2003thomasjfox: hi, yeah, this looks promissing but im not sure it will do quite what i need, The alarm must take priority over everything - including incoming or established calls22:28
dan2003Tu13es: send it to me :)22:29
Tu13eswhat will you use it for?22:29
Tu13esi wish there was a good clock app for it22:29
dan2003remote controll for media player22:29
Tu13esor something to get growl notifications or something22:29
dan2003my n900 does the job nicely, but when im not in my miss's has to resort to laptop - less than ideal22:30

*** makulkar_laptop has quit IRC22:40
Tu13eswow, apparently n800s sell on ebay for like $50-7522:41
Tu13esi guess there's my answer22:41
* DocScrutinizer sighs and wonders why we need this PA cruft, while ALSA been so nice and simple, just use the proper output device as a proxy for any friggin playback priority group22:41
kerioDocScrutinizer: but Doc, that would be the sensible thing to do!22:42
DocScrutinizerooh yes. Sorry22:42
thomasjfoxmay be it has something to do with the forced muting/stop of audio streams on incoming calls22:42
keriothomasjfox: alsa has mixers22:43
*** Tu13es has left #maemo22:44
thomasjfoxkerio: True that22:44
DocScrutinizerALSA has hooks too22:44
DocScrutinizerwhich are really nice, for exactly that purpose to implement such things like playback priority assigned to a audio device22:45
dan2003hmm, so it works in silent profile, which is good :). but makes no sounds at all whilst in a phone call :(.. Even if i could get the ear peice beep that happens if a txt or another call comes , that would be gd22:46
thomasjfoxdan2003: Did you just compile the example code?22:46
