IRC log of #maemo for Friday, 2011-02-11

derfThe stuff like, "All variables in shared memory are placed at the same address" is just insane, too.00:00
derfYou can work around it by declaring a struct to avoid having to do all the address calculations yourself.00:00
* lardman|home had not seen that00:00
derfBut it's like, come _on_ people, this is what compilers are for.00:00
lardman|homeI don't need to use shared memory though, so perhaps that was also the thought of the CUDA designers ;)00:01
trumeecan applets be triggered from commandline?00:02

PhonicUKlardman|home, I'm pretty sure its 1.25GB for a stock 47000:05
LjLpupnik: so far i like that it has kinetic scrolling and that i can search google from the address bar (not just "i'm feeling lucky" style)00:06
lardman|homePhonicUK: thanks, well that's more than enough for my needs00:06
LjLare there any other gems from Mer (i believe Tear is from Mer, anyway?) i might want to try out?00:08

jonwilall my reverse engineering and development efforts seem to be going nowhere :(00:51
lardman|homeno!00:52
lardman|homewhat's up jonwil ?00:52
*** Rarok has quit IRC00:52
jonwilCant seem to get anywhere with my reverse engineering efforts00:52
lardman|homewell yeah, I sort of got that bit ;)00:52
lardman|homebut what specifically?00:53
*** choppa has quit IRC00:53
jonwilwell I have been trying a few different things00:53
jonwilbeen trying to reverse engineer the isi/phonet stuff for GPS (as well as the interface to liblas) without success00:53
jonwilAlso been interested in reverse engineering and cloning libcal, again no joy00:54
lardman|homesome of the GPS stuff is in the wiki isn't it?00:54
jonwilsmall bits of it00:54
jonwilbut nowhere near the full story00:54
lardman|homeWell I was reverse engineering init (from the Tab) and likewise no immediate sucess, nasty compilation00:55
lardman|homethough init is quite small, but it is statically compiled which makes life harder00:56

jonwilI did find one thing for IDA that has helped a bit00:57
lardman|homenot aqualung?00:57
jonwilnope00:57
jonwilthat never worked00:57
jonwilIt lets you parse header files and it generates a type library file for it00:57
jonwilthat you can load00:57
jonwilwhich then gives you all the typedefs and structure and enums00:58
lardman|homehmm, sounds interesting00:58
jonwilso things like gboolean or DBusMessage or whatever00:58
*** crashanddie_ has quit IRC00:58
lardman|homewhat's that called?00:58
*** Natunen has quit IRC00:58
jonwildepending on various factors it may also automatically recognize imported functions00:58
jonwiltilib. But I doubt you have access to the place I found it :)00:59
jonwilWhat version of IDA are you using?00:59
lardman|home5.something00:59
jonwil5.5?01:00
lardman|homewhich works with aqualung01:00
jonwilthe thing I have is for 5.501:00
lardman|homedunno will have to check, i think before that though, is quite old01:00
lardman|homeah ok01:00
jonwil5.5 is the newest I can find01:00
lardman|homeam tempted to write my own decompiler, would be quite interesting, but time consuming01:00
lardman|homenever ideal when you have something you want to get done :)01:01
jonwilyeah01:01
*** incar has quit IRC01:01
lardman|homeI've got to hit the sack, got a meeting first thing tomorrow, but would be interested to chat about your reverse engineering problems, perhaps over the weekend if you're about01:02
lardman|homeotherwise give me a shout next week01:02
lardman|homeanyway night all01:02

SpeedEviljonwil: Find a name inthe executable, and then turn up at their door with a large amount of alcohol.01:04
jonwilOur best hope for GPS is either that Nokia publishes the isi/phonet calls or that Nokia releases GPS for N900 MeeGo with a much smaller (and therefore easier to reverse engineer) set of closed bits01:04

DocScrutinizerjonwil: ^^^^ oops too slow01:05
javispedro:)01:05
jacekowski20:03 < DocScrutinizer> jacekowski: luke-jr, whom-it-may-concern: ISI specs actually mention how to talk GPS and even AGPS to cmt, it's called Modem LCS (Location Server) there. ((actually Mickey found this, so credit goes to him))01:05

jonwilhmmm, those docs dont seem to match the N900, liblas is sending to a resource 80 whereas the LCS server in those docs is listed as being resource 14401:11
*** Rarok has joined #maemo01:12

jacekowskias long as it complies with usb standard01:24
jacekowskibut it should01:24
jacekowskiunless it's apple charger01:24
Psii mean the wall chargers01:24
jonwilThe good news is that since the GPS phonet messages are in the modem spec, getting Nokia to release the specific specs for the n900 cellmo (to support GPS on MeeGo) should be easier :P01:25
Psianyone know whats happening with meego lately?01:26
Psiive heard some strange things01:26
*** pcacjr_ has joined #maemo01:27
bjvhow's fast charge supposed to work with usb?01:28

DocScrutinizermeh, now that's really polite and nice:01:43
DocScrutinizerThis interface is used to forward a privacy notification (notification or verification) from01:43
DocScrutinizerthe network. When the network wants to determine the position of the terminal, it can01:43
DocScrutinizerfirst ask the terminal for permission. When the network invokes the privacy01:43
DocScrutinizernotification in the terminal, it can either ask the terminal to request acceptance from01:43

*** stevomanu has joined #maemo01:49
*** 77CAAP1M2 has quit IRC01:49
DocScrutinizeranyway, the question is: can we make the device reliably signal when network is asking for a location report01:49
skrullisis it possible to access the ubifs over usb?01:50
DocScrutinizerit's way more useful than obscuring the true GPS location01:50
*** DrGrov has joined #maemo01:50

DocScrutinizerskrullis: you'll fall in a deadlock01:52
skrullisso it doesn't charge without os?01:53
DocScrutinizeras device doesn't charge while bootlooping, and doesn't flash with empty bat01:53
DocScrutinizernope01:53
DrGrovAnyone interested in the Nokia press conference scheduled for tomorrow? Or actually today...01:53
skrullisf*ck. Thanks for telling me01:53
javispedroskrullis: so you're new to the device, killed maemo and already playing with a custom initrd without learning to reflash first? =)01:53

*** scoobertron has quit IRC02:00
DrGrovPer_n900: I think just that it is very important for us Finns to see where Nokia is heading02:00
*** Sicelo has quit IRC02:01
*** tripzero has joined #maemo02:02
Per_n900DrGrov: I see. All I know is that I promised myself in 1998 to never again buy anything microsoft related so if Nokia adopts windows phone 7, thats it for me with the nokias :(02:03
DrGrovPer_n900: Yeah, I really hope that Elop is not cooking it up with Mr. Ballmer and throwing a M$ party later02:03
DrGrovPer_n900: I fear though Elop have been cooking the soup already a long long time with M$.02:04
Per_n900DrGrov, I seriously think that would be the end for Nokia. Microsoft is already dead but they just keep floating like a dead fish or something.02:05
GAN900They're licensing iOS.02:05
GAN900That's the only explanation.02:05
*** ShadSEC has quit IRC02:05
Gorrothyeah, MSFT is so dead...02:05
Per_n900DrGrov: Yes, thats not at all impossible.02:05
*** ShadSEC has joined #maemo02:06
DrGrovPer_n900: I still wonder why Elop was allowed to leave MS otherwise. There has to be a corpse buried somewhere.02:06
Gorrothallowed?  how could they force him to stay?02:06
DrGrovGorroth: Well not in the sense they allowed him to stay or made him stay. More like he had a plan already from the beginning to integrate Windows Phone 7(8 when they arrive?) into Nokia's strategy.02:07
Gorrothoh02:07
DrGrovGorroth: Sorry, that was a poor explanation from the beginning.02:07
Gorrothno, it's okay02:08
DrGrovMy dream scenario is that Elop announces the resignation of McDowell, Öistämö, Savander and the rest of these "high-end" executives and get down and dirty and clears house once and for all.02:08
*** valeriusN has quit IRC02:09
DrGrovAnd in the process keeps Symbian as the main platform and keeps the MeeGo view open and integrates it when it is suitable02:09
*** lxp1 has joined #maemo02:09
*** lxp has quit IRC02:09
*** stevomanu has left #maemo02:09
Gorrothwell, i still wanna see meego happen02:10
DrGrovI would not care so much about this otherwise except that after the N97 I promised myself to never go with Nokia if they do not do something to bring the joy back. The N8 somehow gives that joy back, at least a bit. But still a long way to go.02:10
DrGrovGorroth: Me too, I really want MeeGo to happen. For me that is the logical next step in developing Nokia in the right direction.02:10
Gorrothi think so too02:10
DrGrovAndroid for me is too crowded already with Samsung, HTC etc.02:11
DrGrovNo need to crowd it even more with Nokia also competing in a segment that is way overcrowded.02:12
*** lsm5 has quit IRC02:12
DrGrovGorroth: Would you stick with Nokia even if they go with Windows Phone 7 ?02:12
Gorrothnah02:12
Gorrothi don't really stick with them as it is02:12
DrGrovGorroth: Ok :)02:13
jonwilI would not buy a Windows Phone phone from anyone, Nokia included02:13
Gorrothi have my n900, but i really just use my nexus one02:13
DrGrovjonwil: I agree with you on that.02:13
Gorrothoh, i don't think windows phone looks bad, but it needs some backend work on some things that bother me02:13
Gorrothlike SD card expansion and what not02:13
DrGrovI think that Nokia could fix those issues but would the customers still believe in Nokia?02:14
DrGrovDamn this Mr. Elop! You have mixed up my brain completely with your crypting sayings LOL02:15
Gorrothall they need are some compelling products; people are fickle02:15
Per_n900Gorroth, there is also the issue of trust. MS cant and should not be trusted with anything, and google is no better. But I guess everybody values different tings.02:15
DrGrovPer_n900: I completely agree with you on that Google can not be trusted.02:15
GorrothPer_n900: that's a personal decision.  i have no problem using google and/or microsoft02:16
DrGrovPer_n900: I have tried to tell my wife that not to trust Google with too much information etc. She has a Galaxy S at the moment.02:16
Gorrothi have a nexus one, and i love giving google my info02:16
*** eijk has quit IRC02:16
DrGrovI think my wife is a bit of a nerd actually like me :)02:16
Gorrothanything i wouldn't care about someone knowing anyway02:16
DrGrovGorroth: Yeah, then it is no worries there. It is a personal preference anyhow :)02:17
DrGrovMy wife actually told me to try and come to sleep some time tonight.... That is 3 hours ago already :D02:17
DrGrovSeems like I'm not going to bed :D02:17
Gorrothheh02:17
Per_n900Google and NSA are homies since a long time back, and I really do not like the NSA or any other agency like that.02:18
Gorrothi have some differential equations to do in a while.  i want to prove a theorem "i came up with" to directly solve exact first-order linear ODEs02:18
jonwilI think the lack of control over Windows Phone that Microsoft gives OEMs would hurt nokia02:18
DrGrovPer_n900: I do agree with you on that last thing you said about not trusting agencies like the NSA or similar agencies.02:18
Gorrothso i can then use that on my homework02:18
Per_n900But I am slightly paranoid when it comes tho things like that.02:18
DrGrovPer_n900: Paranoid, well that is a perfectly good approach to things today. I am also paranoid, slightly though only02:19
DrGrovjonwil: You mean Nokia would lose the control of the products they develop?02:19
jonwilyes, Microsoft places too many hardware and software limits on OEMs02:20
DrGrovGorroth: You better not rely on my answers regarding anything mathematical nor such things LOL :)02:20
Gorrothhaha :)02:20
Gorrothi actually know that more advanced people know theorems better than this, but it was awesome discovering this with a question the professor asked02:21
Gorrothbecause now i can solve them all in a couple steps vs. the 10 steps the others will use02:21
*** makulkar has quit IRC02:21
DrGrovGorroth: Give me an example. Dying to know :)02:21
Gorrothi take it you know what a total derivative of a multivariate function is?02:22
*** jevin has quit IRC02:22
DrGrovjonwil: Agree with you. Microsoft is locking their "stuff" and only keep the key themselves. That can and would seriously hurt Nokia.02:22
DrGrovGorroth: Sure02:22
*** MrBawb has left #maemo02:22
*** flo_lap has quit IRC02:22
DrGrovGorroth: Let's say so02:22
jonwilI think Microsoft is locking things down for what it believes are good reasons though02:23
GorrothDrGrov: well, a total differential of a function is also known as an exact equation in first-order ODEs02:23
DrGrovGorroth: NO! I do not want to know anymore! Too much information! LOL!02:23
Gorrothand in this case, you can use some sort of method to solve them, but it takes several steps, depending on how many variables there are02:23
Gorrothok :)02:23
Gorrothactually, i have to eat02:23
wmaronejonwil: sure, anything that keeps users in their ecosystem is a good reason, for them02:23
DrGrovjonwil: Yes, they presume and think their reasons are good.02:24
DrGrovI would think Nokias ecosystem would be lost somehow if adapting Microsofts ecosystem thinking.02:24

RobbieThe1stCoke: Nah; Microsoft could do -nothing- for their os, and it'd still give em loads of money for 20 years or more10:20
RobbieThe1stCause of all the legacy software10:20
jonwilWindows Mobile has already been a flop10:21
jonwilWP7 that is10:21
CokeRobbieThe1st: true, the reason MS sucks is because the customers allow it10:21
Cokebut they've lost a lot over the last 10 years10:21

RobbieThe1stWhat... 7% of the desktop market?10:21
VladNistorhttp://www.nokia.com/press/press-releases/showpressrelease?newsid=148800410:21
Cokeapple has a significant chunk of the desktop market, they have an even bigger chunk of the laptop and well. They own mobile devices right now.10:21
jonwildesktop and mobile are 2 totally different things10:21
RobbieThe1stEh, I threw in the wps towel when they tried to be like Apple10:22

franz_even if wp7 were to really "save" nokia10:22
franz_they are simply not relevant to me, personally, anymore10:22
jonwilThe big mistake Microsoft made on WP7 is that they coped all the bad things from Apple (like the locked un-hackable OS) and none of the good things10:23
RobbieThe1stYea10:23
*** ftrvxmtrx has quit IRC10:23
jonwilWindows Mobile was so popular because the handsets (especially from HTC) were so hackable and customizable10:24

CokeMaemo is the most capapable mobile OS today and will be for some time unless MeeGo really gets going.10:34
KhertanCoke: indeed10:34
CokeOne thing is certain though: no more Nokia phones for me.10:34
CokeI smelled bad intentions when I first heard Nokia had recruited the failure Elop10:35
toadpolethe press release says: With Nokia's planned move to Windows Phone as its primary smartphone platform, Symbian becomes a franchise platform, leveraging previous investments to harvest additional value.10:35
Mece_Coke, well it says they will release one meego device10:35
jonwilbasically what I want is the hardware of the HTC Desire Z or Motorola Milestone, the open-source software base of MeeGo (and the general openness of MeeGo), the famous nokia UX and the level of support/updates/improvements of iOS10:35
CokeMS can't make software and are unable to sell devices, why get the leader of the losing team?10:35
toadpolewhats that supposed to mean? no future symbian investment?10:35

Pavlovis what i'd do!10:37
jonwilIf MS has paid Nokia money for this, Nokia will have to disclose such information and we will find out soon enough10:37

Cokejonwil: you don't know many accountants, do you? :)10:37
CokeMoney isn't real, good accountants can do magic with it.10:38

Pavlov2 years ago, android has 0 marketshare10:39
Cokeevery customer and software vendor I've seen looked at winmo 7, shook their heads and then ported from winmo 6.5 to ios or android10:39
Khertanit s funny elop talk about a good ecosystem is important, and day later he announce switch to wp7 which have a worst one than Meego10:39
CokePavlov: the difference is, Android is pretty solid10:39
*** scoobertron has joined #maemo10:39

CokePavlov: no it isnt10:39

CokeOk, we disagree then.10:39
dotblankthat they are switching to WP710:40
Pavlovthey need to release a native development kit10:40
Pavlovdotblank: yes10:40
toadpole( Pavlov ): i wouldn't bet on it... it's an MS product, it'll take years to get it right10:40
jonwilI think Nokia's real problem was that they have nothing. Maemo was dead the moment MeeGo appeared and MeeGo is far from usable for a mainstream consumer smartphone10:40
Pavlovthey need to polish the OS10:40
KhertanPavlov: and an great os10:40
ShadowJKApparently Windows Mobile still outsells WP710:40
jonwilWebOS, iOS and Blackberry are closed and not an option for Nokia10:40
Pavlovtoadpole: they have a history of making their 2nd or 3rd releases pretty solid10:40
dotblankwell as long as they still developm meego10:40
CokePavlov: they have to replace their UI, it's not user friendly in the slightest, ditch silverlight, make it less restrictive and rewrite the core from scratch10:40
jonwilso that left WP7 or Android10:40
Pavlovthe core is fine10:40

*** budfive has quit IRC10:41
CokeHowever. If Nokia has a rather liberal end user license maybe we'll see a Qt port for windows too10:41
Pavlovpart of their UX is quite interesting, part of it needs more work10:41
*** lxp1 has joined #maemo10:41
jonwilI think the #1 thing Microsoft could do to improve Windows Phone 7 and its prospects for long term survival is to dump the developer license fees10:41
MohammadAGuh what's the announcement?10:41
dotblankYea I don't see how WP7 would make sense without a Qt port10:41
*** lxp has quit IRC10:42
CokePavlov: it still felt crippled compared to android, ios and maemo10:42
Pavlovwhy does Qt factor in?10:42
KhertanMohammadAG: a suicide one10:42
jonwilMaybe retain fees for submitting to the WP7 marketplace10:42
Pavlovyou've got to think total reset10:42
jonwilbut ditch the requirement to pay fees just to write your own software for the thing10:42
CokePavlov: because that's the toolkit I use when I want to reach many target platforms10:42
CokePavlov: if I write using MS SDK I can only run it on MS10:42
Cokeif I use Apple's SDK I can only run on ios10:42
Cokeif I use android SDK I can only run on Android10:42
Cokeetc10:42
Pavlovright -- and Qt doesn't help you on any of those10:42
KhertanCoke: and only for one version of windows10:42
dotblankI saw someone was working on a qt android port in the works10:43
Pavlovi understand why you as a developer want Qt10:43
CokeOur systems are ported to windows xp, windows vista, windows 7, linux 32, linux 64, Maemo and OSX.10:43
ThreeMomg10:43
dotblankI also work on an iphone one as well10:43
Pavlovbut that isn't the same as it making sense for Nokia or Microsoft10:43
*** _berto_ has joined #maemo10:43
ThreeMNokia will use Windows 7 Phone series10:43
ThreeMwtf?!10:43
KhertanPavlov: qt can be used to write end user apps on symbian, meego, (soon Android), and is present in WebOS10:43
Cokeoh it also runs on winmo 6.5, but nobody is using it any more.10:43
Cokestill maintaing a port tho10:43
kerioi don't get how would it work - those 4 things have *completely* different UX paradigms10:43
kerioyou'll still going to rewrite the whole of your UI10:43
PavlovKhertan: the first 2 are dead, and no one is using webos right now10:43
CokeKhertan: you think Qt will run and integrate properly on android?10:44
ShadowJKI think you're doing it wrong if you need to port between linux32 and linux64 ;p10:44

kerioShadowJK: ok, port psyco to x6410:46
keriogo ahead10:46
Cokedotblank: oh, but the meego UI is actually ver nice10:46
toadpoleQt will continue to be the development framework for Symbian and Nokia will use Symbian for further devices; continuing to develop strategic applications in Qt for Symbian platform and encouraging application developers to do the same. With 200 million users worldwide and Nokia planning to sell around 150 million more Symbian devices, Symbian still offers unparalleled geographical scale for developers.10:46

RST38hMohammad: The correct question is HOW not WHEN10:48
RobbieThe1stNo way in heck Nokia'll pay MS anything10:48
Ken-YoungCoke, I'd buy it, but I'll bet no such phone is ever released by Nokia.10:48
RobbieThe1stProbably the other way around10:48

ruskieand if it's absent ignore it14:35
SpeedEvilruskie: And extra decoupling componenets.14:36

jonwilIts just that the docs on that site dont match the actual GPS commands used for the N900 GPS14:37
E0xsad day for me14:37
SpeedEvilruskie: Then there are other issues like antennas not matching.14:37
DocScrutinizerget it, modular DOES NOT FLY for small devices14:37
SpeedEvilYou can do modular. It can work.14:38
jonwilso if Nokia can document the proper GPS commands for N900, all the GPS blobs can go away14:38
DocScrutinizertoo clunky, too many source of failure14:38
SpeedEvilBut expect 1.5-2* the price, and 1.5-2* the volume, and 0.8* the batery life.14:38

ZogGnow i got it14:39
jonwilso yeah Nokia documents the isi/phonet stuff and let the community write a gpsd backend for n90014:39
ZogGNokia is failing again and again coz they used to release ready to use phone and OS and only small bugfixes are needed after14:39

DocScrutinizerin the end what's the use of modular? to pay 4* the price, to have a device where you can leave out 20% so X*4*0.8, and in the end the case has to cary thin air instead of the expensive modules you left out?14:41

crashanddieDocScrutinizer, Elop's reaction was about as stupid as the ones you see in theatres: They look at the greatest expenses (in theatres, that's human salaries and movies), and slash the ones they can: employees. The thing is, employees are the ones who sell you food, the part of the theatre that has the greatest profit margin on it. So instead of giving people the tools they need, for long-term improvement, they slash whatever16:05

KhertanIt s a fucking bad Day ... nokia switching to WP7 ... Lopsi 2 adopted by french gouv (restrain net neutrality, and liberties) ...17:12
javispedroriot!17:12
crashanddiehahaha17:12
jonwilPersonally I think that if Microsoft wants Windows phone 7 to succeed, they need to scrap the need to pay a development fee to develop for the platform (still have a fee if you want to actually submit apps to the marketplace though)17:12

jonwilAnd they should also release "Visual Studio Express for Windows Phone 7"17:13
Khertanfor free17:13
jonwilwhich would be like the current Visual Studio Express editions but specifically targeting WP717:13
jonwilyes for free17:13
Khertanjonwil: and provide Qt17:13
jonwilMS arent going to provide QT or native code at all17:13

Khertanso it s a fail17:13
jonwilunless someone wants to port Qt to 100% .net code and create Qt# or something, I cant see it happening17:14

javispedroMS VS is more known than Qt.17:14
javispedroFrom a brand PoV.17:14
jonwilbut yeah releasing the tools for free and letting people dev on real hardware for free will really boost WP7 adoption17:14

LjLuh... i reflashed my new N810. before reflashing, my Power button gave options such as "Reboot" and "Soft off", now there's no trace of those. also, now when the screen is off the LED flashes, it didn't do that before. how come? O.o22:36

javispedroieatlint: why?22:41
*** smhar has quit IRC22:41
javispedroRST38h: but it has wealth. economic wealth.22:41
RST38hAs I said, one can just as well throw together a completely free mobile apps pack in QML/QtQuick22:41
ieatlintjavispedro: because that's when the spring meego conference was due to open its registration and cfp22:41
RST38hjavispedro: Sometimes. More often, it is just idiocy.22:41
crashanddiehttp://eatliver.com/i.php?n=680222:42
RST38hWill take 3-4 months. Won't be as extensive as anything from Nokia, but at least will be easier to get around and fix bugs22:42
javispedrosadly, estimating it would take only 3-4 months is probably why we're on doomsday today.22:42
RST38hjavispedro: nope22:43
*** mlpug has quit IRC22:43
RST38hjavispedro: Doing this for free on your own time, without several layers of management is somewhat different from what Meego has22:43
javispedrook.22:43
RST38hjavispedro: First of all, you can do it ad hoc, then quickly discuss the designs and change them on the fly22:43
RST38hjavispedro: No design documents, no guidelines, no ux people22:44
RST38hjavispedro: Yes, it will be way less professional. But faster.22:44
javispedrogood point.22:44
*** rtghuzhg has joined #maemo22:44
RST38hjavispedro: Secondly, I suggest choosing something like QML from the start.22:44
RST38hjavispedro: It allows prototyping UI quickly22:45
*** rblank has joined #maemo22:45
* javispedro is at this point more sold at anya (webos ui framework) than qml22:45
RST38hjavispedro: As we already know what core apps are needed (address book, messaging view, mail view, calendar, settings), there is no need to spend time defining this part22:45
RST38henya22:45
javispedroyep22:46
RST38hjavispedro: Thirdly, we can drop all the evil parts, such as Tracker and connect to some lighter backends instead22:46
RST38hjavispedro: preferably with DBus, basically making various UI elements do dbus calls and show results22:47
RST38hjavispedro: again, won't be as solid as Maemo/Meego stuff, but way faster to implement22:47
javispedroYeah.22:47
javispedroHowever.22:47
flailingmonkeyI think that defining things would be actually helpful, but shouldn't block putting together rough/usable first drafts either22:47
javispedroSee FHS22:48
RST38hjavispedro: And there won't be core OS to take care about, this can run on any Linux distro22:48
