DocScrutinizerßo/ Turkey plans nuke plants, built by Russians and by Tepco(!) [damn, I thought Tepco bought theirs at GE] - of course at shore and in the most earthquake prone areas they could possibly find. Well, when Chernobyl clowd conaminated large areas in Turkey, their minister stated (honestly): "radioactive tea tastes better!". I called Tepco at Fucku "3 stooges" - I seriously miss the right terms for Turkey00:15

DocScrutinizerfrom a macro-darwinistic POV I think it's OK. May the radioactivity sterilize them all. Those who survive are civilizations that were smart enough to kick or even kill their leaders when those tried to sell nuke plants to their people00:19

DocScrutinizer~ask00:27
infobotQuestions in the channel should be specific, informative, complete, concise, and on-topic.  Don't ask if you can ask a question first.  Don't ask if a person is there; just ask what you intended to ask them.  Better questions more frequently yield better answers.  We are all here voluntarily or against our will.00:27

mvaDocScrutinizer: i was ask it about hour ago ;)00:28
mva»» i've a problem: when i runsome pygtk apps under user some of them has black flat buttons and both black background and foreground color in edit boxes. But when i do "su -" to get root clear environment — all of them working fine (renders all elements in right way).00:29

*** Wamanuz5 has quit IRC00:31
*** johnsu01 has quit IRC00:32
mvais it any way to check which of them? and, btw, i don't think, that problem is in permissions: when i ran them under sudo — it's the same problem. And problem goes away only with clear root env (after "su -")00:32
*** OkropNick has quit IRC00:32
mvaand, btw, where i should check perms? in /home/user?00:32

HtheBMohammadAG?00:35
DocScrutinizer51if the problem vanishes only on proper root / su -, but not on sudo ginroot / su, then it evidently depends on environment of root, which is ~ and $PATH and envs00:35
*** johnsu01 has joined #maemo00:36
BCMMmva: have you got a screwed-up gtkrc?00:37
BCMM(or $GTK2_RC_FILES)00:37
DocScrutinizer51so, as I still suspect some files are the problem, you should check what's in ~root/* and try set $path of user to that of root temporarily to check00:37

mvaBCMM: uhm... I don't touch it, but as i see, it is no such GTK2_RC_FILES variable under user (and it IS under root). But, bad thing: if i set it under user to the same value, as it is under root — it is no effect :(00:49
BCMMis it a gtk or qt application?00:49

mvabtw, yep, long time ago, it was the same problem with qt apps (sync evolution, for example), but it was fixed by maintainers.00:53

mvabtw, DocScrutinizer51, if i set HOME=/root under user — it is still broken looking in this apps, and even if i set HOME=/home/user under root with "su -" — it is still good. So, i doubt, if it is files fault. But, in other hand, i try to reexport root env under user, and it is no effect too :(01:08
*** MadViking has quit IRC01:08
DocScrutinizerhmm that's strange01:09
DocScrutinizeryou said sudo gainroot doesn't fix. So do sudo gainroot, then bit by bit set env to match that of a proper root env01:10
DocScrutinizerfirst change $HOME to /root, cd01:11
*** Rarok has joined #maemo01:11
DocScrutinizerthen set $PATH to that of root env01:11
DocScrutinizercheck app after each change01:11

DocScrutinizercontinue with env $vars that are related to gtk (dunno exactly what these are, I think there are some, for theme, font, etc)01:12
DocScrutinizermva: I think BCMM got sth there. You should unset that $GTK2_RC_FILES var under root and see if things break, rather than set it under user and hope it will fix things01:16
*** _0x47 has quit IRC01:17
DocScrutinizerodds are there's more than one point of failure (e.g. env var not set, and the files pointed at in that var are not readable for user)01:17
DocScrutinizerso you got a really daunting task to fix the user environment. Better see which of the differences between user and root make root fail when setting them to the state found in user01:18
mvahuh... it break in oter way: this apps looks ugly (default gtk light gray interface with BIG square buttons) :)01:19
mva*other01:19
mvaand, btw, under user too ;)01:20
DocScrutinizeryou should consider creating a proper backup, then reflash&restore01:20
*** gomiam has quit IRC01:20
*** florian has quit IRC01:21
*** lxp1 has quit IRC01:21
DocScrutinizeror, another approach, you could lsof your app under root and under user, and compare which files are open for root but missing/different_path for user01:22

mvahuh... strange thing... if i delete gtkrc from there — it is identical default gtk's BIG-square gray interface both under root and user. but even with your gtkrc under user i see broken black flat interface ;) (and under root i see it normally). very-very-very strange...01:39

chxhm. does skype video chat work on n800 or n810?05:10
Robot101chx: no, they had a stand-alone skype client with no video05:10
Robot101(they have no H264 encoder)05:10
chxAny other way to do video calls?05:10
Robot101yes, the built-in XMPP client has jingle video call support05:11
Robot101however you can only call to people with H26305:11
Robot101which is... rare - google video call uses H264 for example05:11
chxI have Linux.05:11
chxThat means I should have every possible program in existence, lol05:11
Robot101it should work with Empathy on the desktop provided you install gstreamer-ffmpeg plugins with h263 enabled05:12
Robot101it might have bitrotted though, since for a couple of years everyone will have been testing with H26405:12
chxHm05:12
chxThen maybe two N810 tablets is the best?05:12
Robot101the breakage will be on the Empathy end though, we made it nice and reliable in the N800 and N810 OSes05:13
Robot101that should definitely work, yes05:13
Robot101but if Empathy is broken then you should be able to ask on #telepathy or #farsight for help fixing it05:13

chxI want to make it easier for my brother to put my 2yrs old nephew on a video call. I am quite a bit far but I truly adore the little guy. Having a webcam is not the best. I was thinking on a tablet that we could hand over to the lil' one.05:14
Robot101:D05:14
*** MadViking has quit IRC05:14
chxI was even thinking, you know, maybe a cheap Android tablet, could even play games, but it seems the price for these things are not yet in the range where you'd hand it to a 2yr old.05:15
Robot101so I'll warn you, the quality on the N810 video call isn't amazing05:15
*** lupine_86 has joined #maemo05:15
Robot101there's quite a low resolution because of CPU limitation05:15
Robot101the video accelerator in the OMAP2 didn't have any linux drivers05:15
Robot101so it's doing encoding and decoding on software :(05:16
chxor, i have not seen an Android tablet made by Panasonic or Lenovo -- if there'd be I would buy in a heartbeat if they'd be similar to their laptops, a 2yr old does not have the strenght  to break either05:16
chxi dunno, your run-of-the-mill webcam isnt terribly high res either05:16
Robot101lenovo build quality is going very bad in my experience, my T410s has a screen defect after 1 month05:16
Robot101and my last X200s screen died too05:16
chxreally? i have a t400s that survied everything and my bro is using T series since the dawn of time.05:17
chxand I just bought a t420 :)05:17
Robot101so, newer ones suck more...? :/05:17
Robot101I have a 2 inch wide vertical stripe of random colours which appeared about a third of the way along my screen05:17
Robot101it's... really annoying05:18

chxhttp://forums.lenovo.com/t5/T400-T500-and-newer-T-series/t410s-vertical-band-in-my-LCD/td-p/245040 is this your problem?05:18

Robot101and yeah it's that problem05:20
chxit's so well known they have a page about it.05:20
Robot101I've been travelling the past 2 weeks so never had any time I wanted to send off my computer or wait on-site for a repair05:20
Robot101I tried to find a place in SF who would do a walk-in warranty repair as I know LCD replacement is easy05:21
*** mardi has quit IRC05:21
Robot101but, well, their list of places in SF was useless - one of them was gone and a the number rang through to a recruitment agency, the other didn't do lenovo repairs, and the third was just a dead number05:21

keithzgOne one hand, I think (especially since the original story came from a guy with previous ties to Microsoft) the whole thing is just FUD.09:21
keithzgOn the other hand, if Google gets bit in an ironic twist outcome of their attempt to "keep GPL out of user space" it kindof serves them right.09:22
keithzgAnd then on the third hand, it had been a few years since some real, substantial FUD was flying around, it's nicely nostalgic :)09:22

DocScrutinizerI want a 1" sensor18:00
E0xSpeedEvil: noise problem is because the sensor ?18:00
SpeedEvilE0x: The sensor does surprisingly well, for the limited number of photons hitting it.18:01
SpeedEvilE0x: Size is the major cause of the low performance in the dark.18:01
SpeedEvil(though good for its class)18:01
DocScrutinizersmall sensor == less light18:01
DocScrutinizerless light == more noise18:01
E0xtrue , because in much light the picture look good18:02
SpeedEvil2 photons = ~0.2 electrons (after the filters and stuff).18:02
DocScrutinizerthat's why 15mp is MEH on such a form factor18:02
E0xi have a few photo at beach and look great18:02
MohammadAGthough tbh, I find nicolai's rewrite much better18:02
SpeedEvilSo you need at least a few thousand photons hitting each pixel to get a reasonably noise-free image.18:02
MohammadAGit snaps the pic faster, so the pics end up sharper even if you shake the cam after taking the pic18:02
SpeedEvilAnd that's in theory - there is probably an irreducable 20 or 50 photoelectron noise in there too.18:03
MohammadAGwhereas with the stock UI, I have to keep the phone still for like 3-5s18:03

E0xwell actual maemo 5 in new hardware will not that good  but maemo 5 fixing some of the stock app in the same hardware ( n900 ) will make a great device18:04
DocScrutinizerbigger sensor == longer F18:04
E0xand i think is the CSSU big atractive18:04

I have NFC *if* and *what* object they provide that's _not_ such a friggin n900filebasedsensor and maybe actually is using the above mentioned mechanisms of event driven programming meant to get used for IRQ based sensors in sysfs20:48
* ShadowJK wonders if inotify works on sysfs20:49
DocScrutinizerso any patch might mean a major redesign of large parts of Qt-mob20:49
DocScrutinizerShadowJK: (if it's actually 'inotify' and) if it's not, then the kernel *absolutely* needs a fix to make it work20:50

DocScrutinizeractually it seems you get all kevents from this netlink socket, and then you check if the parameters match the event you're interested in. Well that's not too bad as *somebody* has to do this matching anyway, and CPU is running at that moment, so it's not like your app would wake the CPU for nothing. No question it's another universe than POLLING sysfs nodes21:38
