burroi think it compiles itself or something10:36
niloybut not able to :(10:36
burrodoes it even run on ARM?10:36
niloyit should... why wont it?10:37

burroand tweaked ot hell and back10:37
burroi donno exactly how it all builds, if you pastebin the error maybe i can try to help10:37
burroalso, just try a debian binary package10:37
niloyhow will debian binary run on  n900?10:38
niloywill it?10:38
burrousually10:38
burroim using debian binaries for screen, ntpdate, and other stuff10:38
*** calvaris has joined #maemo10:38
burroim actually even using debian's libc beacuse debian's binaries needed newer version10:38
niloyyou mean, you can compile stuff on ubuntu and directly paste the binary on n900 and it will work?10:39
burroarmel. not sure if armhf runs on n90010:39
burroyes10:39
niloyO.o thats cool10:39
niloygreat, then I can just copy paste the nodejs binary from ubuntu10:39

edheldiltimeless:  regarding the OTP card for banking, some bank here allows you to either use special pin-protected calculator, encrypted sms (which do not work on n900, thanks, Nokia), normal sms or cert11:29

jacekowskiedheldil: some calculators use smartcard to calculate response12:16
jacekowskiedheldil: and some banks just let you do whatever you want12:17
jacekowskiwithout any OTP and other stuff like that12:17
edheldilwell, that sucks :)12:18
jacekowskinot really12:18
jacekowskithey don't bother pretending that you are secure12:18
*** Hurrian has joined #maemo12:18
jacekowskionly thing they do is when you add another recipent you get a phone call from them12:19
jacekowskion registered phone number ( and those numbers can only be changed by physically going to a branch )12:19

jacekowskiand transfer something to already added recipent12:21
jacekowskinot really a lot12:21
jacekowskiand you don't have to carry calculator/OTP cards with you all the time if you want to use your bank12:22

edheldiljacekowski:  unless he steals your phone12:31
edheldilor hijacks GSM12:32
*** Carmivore has joined #maemo12:32
edheldilbasically your phone is a token12:32
*** valerius has joined #maemo12:32
fluxedheldil, well, it's already a lot better situation anyway12:33
fluxedheldil, you will notice if you don't have your phone with you12:33
edheldilnot in the gsm hacking case, but let's assume that risk is not that significant *yet*.12:35
*** tanty has joined #maemo12:37
jacekowskiif he steals my phone he still needs my bank login and password12:37
fluxin any case such an attach would be much more targeted than random trojans from the email12:37
jacekowskiunless he's targetting me and he already has it12:37
jacekowskibut in that case he may just as well steal OTP card12:37
fluxor, maybe he could just go and force you to do the transfer at gun point?12:38
jacekowskiwell, he couldn't12:38
jacekowskii've got £600 on my account12:38
edheldilI *think*, that OTP cards are usually complemented with a secret pin you have to add to the codes12:38
jacekowski£200 is going for road tax12:38
jacekowskiand i've got £400 left for food untill end of the month12:38
fluxjacekowski, quite a mighty protection you have there!12:38
edheldilflux:  rubberhose cryptography? :)12:38
edheldilcryptoanalysis12:39
fluxmy bank just started asking an (semi)OTP not only for login but also for each transaction I make12:40
fluxbloody annoying..12:40
fluxsemi-OTP because they may reuse the numbers for transactions, but not for logins12:40
edheldilflux:  I liked the way here with STK - to login, you have to enter loginname and otp code, which you get to your registered phone via encrypted sms. To make any transaction, you have to again enter the otp code, which you again get via encrypted sms, with a summary of the transaction (sum, target account, id numbers)12:43
Corsacencrypted sms?12:44
edheldilvia SIM toolkit12:44
fluxedheldil, are you able to accept transactions in bulk?12:44
edheldili.e. you have a banking application on your SIM card12:44
*** kraft_ is now known as kraft12:45
edheldilflux:  nope, but since I do max 3 in a row, it's sufferable12:45
edheldilUnfortunately, damned Nokia did not create STK for n900, so here the scheme, breaks apart :(12:46
edheldilsorry12:46
x29ahow would i go about fixing the dependencies of libnl-dev in the maemo reps?12:46
x29aapt-get tells me: libnl-dev: Depends: libnl1 (= 1.1-2) but 1.1-2nokia1 is to be installed12:47
edheldilapt-get install ... --ignore-depends=libnl112:47
edheldilwhether it's advisable is another matter12:48
*** lizardo has joined #maemo12:49
x29aah, thats a flag for dpkg it seems, ill check into it, thanks!12:49
edheldilor try to install libnl1 first with apt-get install libnl1=1.1-212:50
edheldilalthough there's probably some package conflict which prevents this , else apt-get would maybe pick it up already,12:51

Macerskype sells them as well15:10

Maceri only connect the usb if i need to move stuff to or from the phone fast or if i have to flash it15:11
*** chenca has joined #maemo15:11
Macerwell.. n900 is a special device15:11
Macernot too many understand it and the ones who do know how awesome it is15:11

Estel_hey, Pi hadn't several millions20:30
SpeedEvilFor software, the problem is harder.20:30
SpeedEvilEstel_: Pi is cheating.20:30
SpeedEvilPi is also _lots_ easier.20:30

Estel_I doesn't have anything against cheating20:30
cladWhy SpeedEvil ? The linux distro are here already in the open20:30
cladAnd so are cellphone UI's, KDE, ubuntu own stuffs...20:30
SpeedEvilPi is cheating, as the primary architect of the design is at board level in broadcom.20:30
keriosheevaplug/guruplug/dreamplug went through multiple iterations and was backed by a relatively big company20:30
SpeedEvilHence getting docs and samples and stuff from broadcom is trivial.20:31
cladMost of the good apps on the n900 are community made anyway20:31
Estel_SpeedEvil,  for version 1 we can cheat as hell20:31
SpeedEvilEstel_: You can't.20:31
clad(Who ever used the novi store or the built in apps ? Even the included package manager sucked)20:31
DocScrutinizeruhuh20:31
SpeedEvilEstel_: You can only do that if you can find someone with a similar 'in'.20:32
Estel_We won't sell more than few thousand at most 'geek devices'20:32
Estel_without being tied with big company20:32
Estel_which is ok for me20:32
SpeedEvilEstel_: Most makers simply will not be interested in that sort of volume. So you're limited to what you can buy off the shelf.20:32
cladWhy so Estel_ ? All those new gen amiga had been selling very well over the past decade without being backed by anyone big20:32
SpeedEvilEstel_: Which basically means your choice of hardware is _extremely_ limited, and adds 20% or so to your cost.20:32

DocScrutinizerlisten, there's Nikolaus of goldelico who actually DID BUILD a free device with 3G, based on OMAP3. So what's happening now? Nobody orders them, rather *you* rant about "unbearable old hardware, only omap3", and "waaaay too expensive" though that's ~what Nikauls has to pay for the boards, without any ROI for his investment into hw and R&D20:39
SpeedEvilThat's the scary part.20:40

Estel_and if You like to act like 15 years old fanboy, do so.23:01
burroonly way that was possible was 3.2 linux with 3 git-repos23:01
luke-jrburro: none of those are normal Linux stuff23:01

Estel_btw, http://funroll-loops.info/gentoo.jpg23:03
burro#gentoo-n900 empty,, is there a wiki, forum what?23:03
burroARM is prety fragmented and highly-evolving it didnt shock me so much HW/driver stuff was broken23:05
burrobut Debian still uses i386 dont they? they love supporting the oldest/most-compatible arch23:05
burroso im not really loking forward to 5x the tweaking to get gentoo going23:05
FIQum23:05
burroinstead of just learning something wont run, i get to wait 3 hours for it to compile on ARM first :)23:05
burroor go setup some cross-compile setup23:06
FIQI use arch linux, but when it comes to which is most bloated, arch sure is more bloat then gentoo...?23:06
burrohow so?23:06
wmaronedefine "bloat"23:06
burronot really interested in an arch vs gentoo vs ubuntu war23:06
burropoint me to a wiki that explains GEntoo on n900 i will try it23:06
burrocuz ,debiian didn twork to well on latest-sid for wahtever reasons23:06
FIQneihter am I23:06
FIQbut ^ was @ Estel_23:06
FIQwmarone: most things included from start23:07
wmaronewhich means?23:07
burronothing is included23:08
burroexcept some crap in /bin and a pacakage manager really23:08
burroso the mutt binary on debian/arch proably has --with-imap23:08
burroand on gentoo you get to nano /etc/package.conf and USE=imap or something23:08
burrojust to save 12K in a binary and 2 seconds of compile time, yet spend 3x as long configuring it23:08
Estel_FIQ, in arch You shouldn't get almost anything from start23:09
Estel_I'm not in war between linux distros lol23:09
FIQTrue, but with Gentoo, I though you got nothing at all :D23:09
FIQNever used gentoo for myself23:09
Estel_this picture was only to irritate luke-jr a little - who act like fanboy without any meritocratic arguments and goes to insult on first sign of being arguments-less23:10
Estel_anyway23:10
burrodue to being all-source, Genteoo is sometimes like, a few days ahead of sid23:10
burrobut not much23:10
burroi doubt some significant N900-hardware-related-fixes are only avilable ote gentoo users23:10
burrofor vanila kernel and various apps23:10
Estel_it's all based on debian this way of another23:10
burroits a matter of incentive, if someone paid me to fix vanilla issues with n900 i would. but who is gonna do that?23:10
burroso i'll just use maeo23:11
luke-jrburro: Gentoo works fine with power kernel23:11
Estel_it would be pretty romantic story. Except for a part, that Debian still exist, and their marriage doesn't23:11
Estel_well, it *is* romantic somehow23:11
luke-jrburro: upgrading the kernel is not in itself a priority yet on N90023:11
Estel_seriously though23:11
burrook, but i use Maep and FM-tuner and camera almost exclusively23:11
burroand i have a feeling at least 1 of those is broken, i'll give it a shot tho23:11
FIQhmm, when it comes to the power kernel23:11
FIQI tried to install uboot-power to get uboot *and* the power kernel, but failed due to broken dependicies23:11
FIQas uboot-power depends on an outdated version of the power kernel23:12
Estel_I'm now mostly interested in a woking way to Export X display from N90023:12
FIQhow do i solve that? :p23:12
Estel_considering the fact, that most thing gots it hardcoded to N900 screen23:12
burroyou can build uboot from git23:12
Estel_burro,  with all Your linux-related knowledge23:12
burrosee http://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~pali/u-boot.txt and http://gitorious.org/u-boot-shr/u-boot23:12
FIQuh, i'd rather not, then I prefer the usual kernel23:12
Estel_any way, to effectively export N900 (maemo) display with any set resolution23:13
FIQover compiling my own version of u-boot23:13
burroEstel_: git on Maemo didnt even clone gitorious properly23:13
Estel_to listen for it on other linuxbox?23:13
burroso i had to instal a chroot just for git23:13
burrothe divergence of vanilla *is* annoying from maemo23:13
burrowhich is why im semi-interested in getting off of it eventualy23:13
burropulseaudio-network wont talk to modern pulseaudio on netbook due to version changes etc23:13
Estel_probably agreed, but I'm asking about slightly different topic ;)23:13
burrocan you not export DISPLAY=remotehost:0 and launch a maemo app?23:13
*** jhb has joined #maemo23:14
Estel_got problems and one guy here said, that most programs on maemo got it hardcoded to point into N900 screen23:14
Estel_the idea is to develop a most hassle-free method, that I can later use with USB networking to Raspberry Pi23:15
burroweak23:15
burroso youd have to recompile the progs23:15
Estel_to export whole display to Pi23:15
Estel_and then, using Pi HDMI23:15
Estel_to screen23:15
*** scoobertron has joined #maemo23:15
Estel_= workaround for lack of DVI/VGA out in N90023:15
burrohpefully Samsung drops a phone w HDMI that runs normal debian23:15
burroas a side-effect of tha tTizen thing23:16
Estel_would not count on that23:16
burrowhich frankly doesnt loook any more vanilla than Maemo23:16
burroim sure itll have all sorts of obnoxious dbus crap and forekd versions and propreitary firmwares23:16
burrosame old..23:16
Estel_ok, to be honest I'm total noob when it comes to exporting X - seriously23:16
burro*if* they ever ditch ANdroid23:16
burrotheres some shell script that runs i believe23:16
burroto setup environment vars feor maemo apps, widget kits etc23:16
Estel_I open xterm as root, and do what?23:17
burroit may be overriding your DISPLAY options23:17
burroim somewhat skeptical they hardcoeded DISPLAY into binaries, but maybe tey did23:17
Estel_I would like to filter other possible issues with exportind display23:17
Estel_including user error23:17
burrobrb, disabling -nolisten23:17
Estel_thanks23:17
Estel_I'm also sceptical about hardcoding display into binaries23:18
burrops aux | grep X on your desktop23:18
burromaybe sure "-nolisten" is not there23:18
Estel_can't imagine sane reason to do so23:18
burroit is by defaut23:18
burrothen type xhost +23:18
burroto make sure n900 can connect23:18
burrootherwise it will revert back to maemo's display23:18
burroor error out23:18
Estel_wait, although I understand what You mean, I'm lost in chronology23:19
SpeedEvilEstel_: They are not generally hardcoded - they just don't work over the network, but require shared local memory in many cases23:19
burroheh forgot about SHM23:19
Estel_oh, and here I don't have a clue what it means ;)23:19
burroMIT X_SHM server extension or something23:19
burroyou cant share memory between machines :)23:19
SpeedEvilyou can23:20
burrooh23:20
SpeedEvilbut it's complex23:20

Estel_how the heel should I getting started23:20
Estel_googling for exporting X wasn't very productive23:20
burroive exported *To* phone no probs23:20
burrousing it as a sor tof remote-control23:21
FIQexporting X? forwarding it?23:21
burrossh can usualy gett around nolisten, it hink23:21
burrossh -X23:21
burrocheck /etc/sshd_config and enable X forwarding23:21
FIQX-forwarding have worked fine for me computer-->N90023:21
mgedminso, jumping in without checking backlog: /etc/profile on maemo5 does export DISPLAY=:023:21
FIQthe opposite way has not been as trivial23:21
mgedminwhich screws up most attempts to use ssh X forwarding23:21
mgedminIIRC23:21
*** beford has joined #maemo23:21
FIQiirc i managed to forward fennec as a test one time23:22
FIQdon't remember how i did, but pretty much every application failed23:22
mgedminI think I managed it once?  after sudo apt-get install xauth from the SDK repo and an explicit DISPLAY=:9 or something like that23:23
mgedminI've forgotten the specifics, just remember the pain23:23
FIQi've given up :D23:23
Estel_Yea, I know this project would at some point require someone much more experienced than me ;) anyway, someone must start to try it hard way...23:24
Estel_mgedmin - generally it's idea about using Raspberry Pi23:24
Estel_as credit card sized 25$ linuxbox with HDMI and USB23:24
Estel_to export N900 display via usb networking23:25
Estel_get it on Pi23:25
Estel_and use it's HDMI23:25
Estel_to get - via this workaround - fully functional HDMI output for N90023:25
mgedminso you want the N900's screen on a TV?23:25
mgedminwhy not use the included A/V cable  ;)23:25
Estel_with added benefit of Pi that can be also used as USB to LAN or plentora other things23:25
Estel_first of all, monitor, not TV23:26
Estel_second, AV cable is PAL max23:26
Estel_horrible qu!ity to use for bowser or LibreOffice or EasyDebian or whatever23:26
Estel_I travel with N900, small usb mini-keyboard, bluetooth mouse23:26
Estel_hostmode ;)23:26
mgedminthird, N900's dinky CPU/graphics chip/and especially the memory channel to the LCD controller can barely handle 800x48023:26
Estel_and last thning lacking for 100% portable computer in pocket23:27
Estel_is good quality video out, vga or DVI23:27
mgedminand Pi is insufficient?23:27
mgedminas the portable computer?23:27
Estel_N900 got better performance in many aspects23:27
mgedminI wonder how much it can do -- IIRC I recently saw a Pi running xbmc on a HDTV23:27
*** chenca has quit IRC23:27
mgedminon youtube23:27
Estel_Pi can achieve many thnings but it's performance vary depending on usage23:28
Estel_closed broadcom SoC can achieve awesome hings in one aspect23:28
mgedminclosed?23:28
mgedminin what sense?23:28
Estel_and be fail in another, that should require similar or lower ammount of resources23:29
Estel_in every sense :P23:29
Estel_firmware, drivers etc23:29
Estel_Pi boot using GPU23:29
Estel_it load something and bootloader from SD card23:29
Estel_MPU gets alive after GPU23:29
Estel_anyway23:29
Estel_lets focus on current scenario, which include achieving external display of N900 via pi - real display, not remote desktop23:30
Estel_You know, when I got somewhere a 1280x900 monitor, I could use it with native resolution from N900. In theory ;)23:30
SpeedEvilhmm23:31
* SpeedEvil looks at Tizen announce on /.23:31
Estel_BTW, regular N900 resolution is 800x480, but downscalling to PAL or NTSC makes effect even worse23:31
Estel_BTW, one guy proposed to use remaining USB networking bandwidth23:31
Estel_20-25 MB/s23:31
Estel_to use Pi RAM as faster swap for N90023:32
Estel_no idea if it's really useful in practice23:32
FIQhttp://mobile.slashdot.org/story/11/12/12/2033227/tizen-webos-the-future-of-mobile-open-source this?23:32
FIQ@ SpeedEvil23:32
Estel_but it shows that N900 in tandem with Pi can get some exciting new features23:32
SpeedEvilFIQ: no23:32
FIQoh well23:32
Estel_Oh yea, counting until Tizen get killed started?23:33
SpeedEvilhttp://linux.slashdot.org/story/12/01/10/2031238/tizen-source-code-released23:33
Estel_So, SpeedEvil, mgedmin and other knowledgeable ones23:33
Estel_Could You point me into how to start experimenting with exporting this display properly?23:33
Estel_i'm still lost a little23:34
mgedminI wouldn't know where to start!23:34
mgedminwhat do you mean "export a display" and "non-remotely"?23:34
mgedminsolder a VGA/HDMI socket onto the N900?23:34
mgedminnot possible, in my opinion23:34
Estel_properly. I haven't used "non-reemotely"23:34
mgedmin'real display, not remote desktop'23:35
Estel_erm, I'm still thinking about exporting via X export display to pi...23:35
Estel_remote desktop = VNC etc23:35
mgedminah23:35
SpeedEvilIt's not possible to do right.23:35
Estel_real display = X display23:35
burro"23:35
SpeedEvilMost of the apps on the n900 - at least teh builtin binary ones - require shared memory23:35
Estel_wait, wait, not possible in which sense23:35
burrosorry.. was amused by MeeGo and its descendants have been a huge clusterfuck, Maemo has a nice working desktop environment and is the closest to a regular desktop Linux distro underneath. The best thing to do as a next step would have been to bring it even closer to a standard Linux distro, maybe base it on Debian ARM and put Maemo's desktop and apps on top.23:36
Estel_hm23:36
Estel_SpeedEvil,  no workarounds?23:36
Estel_maybe we can achieve shared memory somehow? ;)23:36
SpeedEvilEstel_: In principle, you could write a shim-zserver23:36
Estel_mgedmin mentioned using something from SDK to avoid shared mem requiment23:36
burroVNC is trivial to do hwoever23:37
mgedminno I did not23:37
burroyou just apt-get install x11vnc23:37
burroand lauch it23:37
Estel_I'm using vnc for ages23:37
Estel_SpeedEvil,  write shim-zserver = use something existing and modify, or wfrite something from scratch?23:37
Estel_remember, You're talking to non-coder (well, I'm actually learning slowly how to code basic things)23:38
*** rd has joined #maemo23:38
Estel_I would love to leave this project for more experienced ones and wait for ready to use results, but it's not that easy;)23:39
Estel_thats why I had to move my a** and bugy You all here on IRC23:39
Estel_as creating HDMI output for N900 via Pi + other benefits from using it in tandem with N900 is too great thing to abandon it23:40
Estel_unless there is really no achievable/feasible method23:40
SpeedEvilA xserver thjat supports shared memory, and fakes it to another xserver over the link23:40
burroits going to be painful and slow23:41
burrohow about a 25 dollar ATom board..23:41
Estel_undrstood. Whats the catch?23:41
burroand just use that on HDMI when you nee dit23:41
burroyoure going to have 2 maxed-out ARM devices screaming in pain shuttlin around pixels and memory23:41
burroor one pretty fast Atom23:41
Estel_SpeedEvil,  such xserver would be troublesome to implement for N900?23:41
Estel_burro, I think VNC is more screaming pain (bandwidth and compression)23:42
burroi donno23:42
burroon slow DSL i used to get better results wiht VNC than X23:42
mgedmin"if you nail a goat to a horse, you won't need to buy a car!"23:42
burroperhaps due to roundtrip latency?23:42
Estel_also, I don't know any 25$ atom board comparable to N900 features23:43
