FIQor better yet: don't mess with batteries at all outside their intended use (being used and being charged - with conventional methods)00:12

DocScrutinizer05ShadowJK: dang, if only I mentioned the LiIon batteries in that shelf that burnt down and almost took me with it00:19
ShadowJKI briefly wondered why the flashlight people seem to get more bodily harm from Li batteries than RC people, but then realized that when the RC model airplane/heli or whatever explodes, it's not usually in the same room as the user :P00:21
vi__ShadowJK: or in their pocket.00:21
Woody14619Yikes...00:21
vi__I believe chem|st has an amusing story concerning exploding batteries...00:21
DocScrutinizer05I'm just happy there were ~80 shells 9mm in that shelf, so this was probably what awakened me00:22
vi__wha...bullets?00:25
DocScrutinizer05ShadowJK: where from stems the HF?00:25
DocScrutinizer05Teflon membrane?00:25
ShadowJKI'm unsure of the chemistry involved00:25

Woody14619Off for the weekend.  Try not to blow yourselves all up before I'm back. :)00:27
DocScrutinizer05ShadowJK: seems you got a link to same forum anyway :-D00:27
DocScrutinizer05Woody14619: we will leave a video for you00:28
*** Woody14619 has quit IRC00:28
DocScrutinizer05now serious: such thinng like the blasted away balcony can't happen with BL-5J, but you *might* start a fire and suffer from ventig poisonous gas anyway00:29
DocScrutinizer05while charging in N900 is safe due to hw safety measures, it is NO good idea to alien charge LiIon cells with any random power source you happen to find somewhere00:31
*** vi_ has quit IRC00:31
ShadowJKoff topic: tricopter armed with fireworks hunting hydrogen balloons, and bonus fireworks anti-aircraft turret at end :-)00:32
ShadowJKhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozHoP_YThRI00:32
DocScrutinizer05I'd think the final boom was again the battery ;-P00:37
*** setanta has quit IRC00:38
*** vi__ has quit IRC00:38
* DocScrutinizer05 just wonders how they managed Z-axis rotation with a tricopter00:39
ShadowJKthe rear rotor is servo mounted and can tilt left/right00:40
DocScrutinizer05or are those rotors swivel-mounted00:40
DocScrutinizer05:nod:00:40
*** beford has quit IRC00:41
ShadowJKThey're supposedly easier to control than quad00:41
DocScrutinizer05hm?00:42
DocScrutinizer05I'd guess the electronics won't bother if it's tri or quad ;-D00:42
ShadowJKFor tri you might get away with gyro stabilization, but for quad I think you need a full mcu00:44
DocScrutinizer05stupid mech gyro stabi?00:44
*** FIQ has quit IRC00:45
DocScrutinizer05I'd rather write a PID in assembler ;-)00:45
ShadowJKIn RC world, "gyro" is essentially a unit, that has servo control data input, and output. It can do "attitude hold" or "rate hold" on one axis, and can affect a single servo (or speed control) output to do that00:46
ShadowJKI think with quadcopter you need to do more "mixing" of control outputs to achieve desired goal?00:47
DocScrutinizer05sure00:47
DocScrutinizer05nothing a raspi couldn't do ;-D00:47
ShadowJKtricopter can have pitch controlled by rear rotor speed, yaw controlled by rear rotor tilt, and roll by forward rotors00:47
ShadowJKThe popular controllers are "arduino based" ;-)00:48
ShadowJK"Atmega48/88/168/328 (DIL28)"00:48
ShadowJK:D00:48
DocScrutinizer05yeah00:49
DocScrutinizer05so low end it gets expensive00:49
ShadowJKThat's PIC ;-)00:49
DocScrutinizer05DIL28 - dafaq!00:50
*** Venusaur has joined #maemo00:50
ShadowJKIt's nice for people who only ever solder 100Amp battery plugs00:50
DocScrutinizer05I'm pondering since 15 minutes about my old weird idea of a 2stroke-powered generator instead of batteries, for those quads00:52
*** FIQ has joined #maemo00:52
ShadowJKIt's useful for longevity00:53
DocScrutinizer05energy density of castor oil > LiIon00:53
ShadowJKI don't know about quads, but on "normal" RC helis, you can get about 20-30 minutes on electric while carrying camera platform and equipment for realtime downlink of videostream00:53
DocScrutinizer05recharging possible while flying00:54
ShadowJKWith extra fuel tanks and such, nitro powered "normal" RC helis can get close to an hour of flight time, but the smoke and vibrations are annoying00:55
DocScrutinizer05:nod:00:55
ShadowJKthis thing only has noise and fire issues: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=y1Xh_VAUTcA#t=100s00:56

DocScrutinizer05yeah, such a turbine monster spinning at 50,000/min and eating like a liter/min of gasoline is no less scary than LiIon going mad01:00
DocScrutinizer05I wonder how they transmit the turbine power to the rotor01:01
trxwell, with pressure?01:03
DocScrutinizer05or with difficulaty01:04
ShadowJKThere's this thing that starts spinning immediately, but the main gear and autorotation gears on the main rotor shaft seem to not move at all at first!?01:04
ShadowJK(rest of video fairly standard fly around)01:06
*** OkropNick has quit IRC01:06
ShadowJKmaybe some sort of centrifugal clutch or infinitely variable transmission..01:08
*** iluminator105 has joined #maemo01:11
iluminator105where can i get a n950?01:11
ShadowJKThe ones existing in the wild are "loaned" from Nokia. I heard someone sold their loaned device on ebay for like $2,500 though?01:11
iluminator105if its that much i will thake a pass i was hopin maybe around 250 range01:12
iluminator105take*01:12
DocScrutinizer05ShadowJK: not all are loaners01:12
ShadowJKThe phone was never released01:12
ShadowJKAnd it was never sold01:12
ShadowJKIf it had been, it would probably had same, or slightly higher, price range as the N901:13
DocScrutinizer05err, it _was_ sold afaik, on commercial DDP01:13
ShadowJKoh01:13
ShadowJKYeah but not to general public :P01:13
iluminator105what does ddp stand for01:13
ShadowJKdeveloper device program, presumably01:13
DocScrutinizer056 months resale clause01:13
ShadowJKAnyway as it stands, they're pretty damn rare and that's why the one on ebay went for so much01:14
iluminator105i dont know why nokia makes great products and not release it to people01:14
ShadowJKI heard they break pretty easily01:14
DocScrutinizer05here ddp == launchpad (or was it actually launcpad?)01:14
ShadowJKBut yeah I agree, a qwerty hw keyboard N9? I'd pay money for that01:15
ShadowJKBut then again, I'd pay alot more for a upgraded N900 :P01:15
*** SpeedEvil has joined #maemo01:15
*** TabletEvil has quit IRC01:16
DocScrutinizer05hah, our hw/admin-guy today - when I seen him using his phone - told me it's a hooker800, not a N9. And he likes it way better than any spyPhone01:18
DocScrutinizer05esp since it connects to exchange server01:19
noch&01:19
nochsorry01:19
ShadowJKOoh, 3dmasters 2012 happened01:20
DocScrutinizer05just the SIM holder incl SIM shoots away 2 meters whenever he opens the USB flap, since he dropped the device and the sim hoolde rnotch broke ;-P01:20

ShadowJKgrrr, it appears the official video crew used interlaced video. W.T.F.01:21
kerioi want a dual-core n900 with 2gb of ram :c01:22
ShadowJKI raise you quad core01:22
keriodon't be ridiculous now01:23
ShadowJKHSPA dual carrier and LTE, wifi 11n dual band01:23
keriowhy only dual?01:23
iluminator105wow, lets make a spec sheet of your ideal phone and send it jolla mobile01:24
ShadowJKBecause no carrier does tripple carrier?01:24
keriono, i meant the wifi01:24
ShadowJKwhat other bands are there besides 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz?01:24
*** Dibblah has quit IRC01:24
kerioShadowJK: *another* 2.4GHz or 5GHz01:25
keriodaddy needs his dual radio01:25
DocScrutinizer05listen... do you hear it already?01:25
kerioDocScrutinizer05: the *plink*?01:25
kerioyeah01:25
DocScrutinizer05;-P01:26
kerioand you're the one that still doesn't provide a service to upgrade the ram!01:26
kerioyou're an EE! you should be good at this stuff!01:26
FIQin fact there's a site that allows you to upgrade your RAM directly via the site, works instantly! :o01:27
kerioo:01:27
* ShadowJK remebers Norton RAMbooster software sold on retail shelves in retail box01:27
ShadowJKpromised to double your ram01:27

ShadowJKMr Norton was such a scam artist when he started, that's why I refuse to use Norton products today.. heh01:28
FIQheh01:29
ShadowJKNobody remembers Norton Crashguard? It promised to fix all crashes!01:29
FIQdid it do anything at all?01:29
ShadowJKWhat it did was hook into all the signal handlers, or whatever that's called on Windows, and just made everything ignore crashes and continue anyway01:29
FIQlol :p01:30
ShadowJKIt had fancy GUI listing the amount of crashes it saved you from!01:30

iluminator105why not make a miniature version of rasperry pi with 1.4 dual core chip and communication chip and battery add on to it01:32
*** WielkiTost has quit IRC01:33
ShadowJK...01:33
ShadowJKrPi is pretty miniature as it is01:33
ShadowJKIt's the "1.4Ghz", "dual core", "communication chip", and all that, that make things bigger01:34
*** lardman has quit IRC01:34
keriojust put an i7 in the n90001:34
keriowhat can go wrong?01:34
iluminator105i7 your battery would drain fast01:35
*** FIQ has quit IRC01:35
ShadowJKClocking the rPi chip at 1.4Ghz would still be slower than N9 for sure01:36
iluminator105i am saying sell a raspberry like device except its a phone barebones01:37
kerioiluminator105: the openpandora would be neat, except that they don't want to put a phone module in01:38
kerioalso, carriers won't let you do that01:38

*** hardaker has quit IRC01:57
nox-will jolla mobile have this aegis thing too tho?01:57
ShadowJKThat's my biggest concern really01:59
ShadowJKThe 3 suckiest properties about N9, as I gather, is 1) aegis 2) hw kbd 3) compromising touchscreen for curved surface02:01
ShadowJKBut I've never used an N9, so02:01
nox-*nod*02:02
FIQ|n900as long as jolla or anyone at all are going to ever make phones with hardware keyboards again I'm fine02:03
FIQ|n900seen too much of hw-kbd-less things...02:03
ShadowJKasus makes hw kbd tablet, but that's not the same I guess02:03
FIQ|n900asus transformer?02:04
FIQ|n900uhh02:04
ShadowJKAnd slider02:04
FIQ|n900ah ok02:04
FIQ|n900the transformer is nice but not really what I want02:04
FIQ|n900as it's a tablet02:05
ShadowJKya02:05
ShadowJKI've been seriously considering ordering an asus transformer as N800/N810 replacement though02:05
FIQ|n900I've considered buying one, but not as a phone02:06
ShadowJKofc02:06
FIQ|n900but more like an ultraportable computer, it could probably do wonders as one02:06
*** louisdk has quit IRC02:07
ShadowJKWell not really02:07
ShadowJKit fails as "ultraportable computer" because it runs android02:07
ShadowJKheh.02:07
FIQ|n900yeah02:07
FIQ|n900that's the problem02:07

Puchohello I just got my N900 but I need help please.03:28
ShadowJKpeople asleep, not mindreaders03:29
PuchoHow do I get to command line Interface and be root? Beacuse when trying to install anything in my mobile n900 it always showing an error message unable to install!!03:30
RiDPucho: new purchaser?03:31
RiDs/purchaser/purchase03:31
RiDfu03:31
RiDs/purchaser/purchase/03:31
PuchoI purchase my N900 used from ebay.03:31
RiDah well i'm dumb today03:31
RiDI see. well, did you flash it first?03:32
ShadowJKOn an otherwise functional N900; Command line interface: X-terminal is preinstalled. Root: install rootsh from application manager, then type "root" in x-terminal03:32
RiDor was it already flashed?03:32
PuchoThere is an app called x terminal, can I just type SUDO to become root?03:32
ShadowJKIf the previous owner has messed it up, no idea :)03:32
ShadowJKNo it needs the "rootsh" app03:32
PuchoI never flashed this device, I just started using it out of the box03:32
ShadowJKatleast I think it was called rootsh03:33
Puchowhat is rootsh, sorry I am new03:33
RiDok. if it has leftovers i recommend you to flash03:33
ShadowJKyep, it is "rootsh"03:33
PuchoThe unit was working fine after I received it, but now it cannot install or update apps03:33
RiDyou want to use the commandline and dont know what is root?03:33
RiDnvm i read it wrong*03:34
ShadowJKrootsh gives you "sudo gainroot", to get root privs but user environment (similar as "su"), and "root", which gives you root privs root env (similar to "su -")03:34
PuchoAfter receiving the unit, I installed many apps just to test the n90003:34
ShadowJKProbably either the emmc, /home or / are full or corrupt, my guess03:34
RiDlol03:34
RiDwith extras-devel on?03:35
Puchowhen rootsh is typed in CLI, the response is -sh rootsh: not found03:35
ShadowJKYou don't have "rootsh" installed then.03:35
PuchoI did not install anything from extras-devel repository, only from install apps manager on the N900 itself03:35
*** regawyte has joined #maemo03:36
RiDyes, but the app manager may have the extras devel catalog on03:37
RiDcheck under catalogs03:37
PuchoApp mgr catalogs are: nokia apps, Nokia Sys Software Update, Ovi and maemo.org03:38
ShadowJKEither way, I would not waste time trying to repair software problems the previous onwer has caused03:39
PuchoMaemo.org repo URL is repository.maemo.org/extras03:39
ShadowJKOf course the other possibility is that the hw is damaged in some areas03:41
*** Hoolxi has quit IRC03:41
PuchoThat might be true.03:41
Puchois this a common problem w/ n900 Hw?03:41
*** mardi has joined #maemo03:42
ShadowJKMost common issues are broken usb port, second most common is dead/dying/malfunctioning modem03:42
ShadowJKso it's not common03:42
RiDthe usb port scares me everyday03:42
RiDfeels so loose03:43
RiDnot compared at all when it was new03:43
*** mardi has left #maemo03:43
Puchook03:43
RiDi have had a few heart attacks where i thought my usb port died03:43
ShadowJKI've accidentally hung this N900 from charger cable 3 times now, and dropped it on floor once. No problems03:43
RiD....03:44
* RiD runs03:44
ShadowJK:)03:44
*** chenca has joined #maemo03:44
RiDdo it a 4th03:44
RiDi only dropped my phone on 6cm03:44
ShadowJKno. :)03:44
RiDshiny wood03:44
ShadowJKMine fell from hip height onto concrete floor03:44
ShadowJKback cover and battery separated from it03:45
PuchoWhat is default root password on n900? I am trying to run sudo command on n90003:45
ShadowJKThere is no root password03:45
ShadowJKThough when you install openssh-server, you get asked to create a root password. Other than that, root (and user) password doesn't exist03:46
PuchoThank U. every time the following cmmd is run: "sudo dpkg --configure -a", the console asks for password03:47
RiDShadowJK: that made my cry03:47
ShadowJKThe default sudo config gives user 0 permissions, pretty much :)03:47
Puchousing terminal how can the user become root?03:48
PuchoI mean become superuser03:48
RiDsudo gainroot03:48
ShadowJKWithout ever using app manager? No ways03:48
Puchowhat do you mean? Plz explain. App Mgr is not working correctly. It says no apps are installed.03:49
PuchoWhen "sudo gainroot" is run, the response is "Enable RD mode if U want 2 break Ur device.03:50
ShadowJKI mean what I said. The path to become root: Start app manager, install rootsh, start xterminal, type "root" in xterminal03:50
PuchoThank U. Unfortunately App Mgr cannot install anything. I am trying to get App Mrg working again. There were some helpful posts in Maemo forum but they require root access.03:51
ShadowJKIf previous owner has broken stuff, then reflash.03:51
Puchook03:52
ShadowJKwithout root you can probably still access 'dmesg' to check for serious problems03:52
ShadowJKand df -h to check free space03:52
zeqsounds like full rootfs03:52
ShadowJKcould be03:53
zeqcssu-thumb would help ;)03:53
ShadowJKzeq: I bet it will take 4 hours to get him to paste output of df -h, though03:53
ShadowJKzeq: not without reflash first, surely? :)03:54
* ShadowJK goes sleep03:54
zeqprobably not.  app manager really could do with a recovery option...03:54
Puchorootfs usage is 64%03:54
ShadowJKApp repository could really do with a optification check. :)03:55
zeqPucho: without root, you're probably not going to be able to fix it, so your only recourse is probably reflashing03:55
ShadowJK/home ?03:55
ShadowJKyeah agreed03:55
ShadowJKAlso it's just sensible to start from clean install when you get secondhand n90003:56
RiD^03:56
zeqI'm off to sleep myself now too...03:56
Puchook03:56
Puchothank u03:56
* ShadowJK makes second attempt at stop irc and begin sleep.. curse this n900, irc in bed is evil03:57
ShadowJK:)03:57
zeqfreemangordon: linaro-4.6-2012.7 has built qt okay. I've also patched it for 4.7, enabling 4.7 to be used for building apps against it.03:58

keriojon_y: thumb2 is an instruction set, the cortex A8 could run stuff with that instruction set, but there are some hardware problems that have to be worked around, in the kernel and in the linker10:43

trumeeis it possible to find out how much warranty is left on my N900?11:38
trumeei have lost the proof of purchase :(11:38
*** valerius has joined #maemo11:43
DocScrutinizer05then it's getting difficult11:46
zeqtrumee: unless you're prepared for a battle (to get a replacement or more likely demand a refund) the warranty is pretty worthless.  Nokia doesn't care about N900 customers. :( That said, I've never needed proof of purchase at a Nokia Care Centre, as long as your phone isn't reported stolen you should be okay.11:46
DocScrutinizer05Nokia has a webpage to check based on serial#, but I doubt that is accurate for devices sold late11:47
DocScrutinizer05also what zeq said11:47
DocScrutinizer05trumee: generally I think there's nokia warranty and there's legal warranty. Both are unrelated. You claim your legal warranty at your shop/seller, based on whatever the laws in your country. Independently Nokia offered a 2(?) year manufacturer guarantee, which is basically void by now I'd say11:50
DocScrutinizer05sellers tend to send their customers to manufacturer for claiming warranty. They MUSTN'T11:52

DocScrutinizer05well, CSSU has a vastly improved "automounter"11:53
DocScrutinizer05that mounts wirtually *all*11:53
jon_yI have cssu enabled, how do I find out if the cssu automounter is working?11:53

DocScrutinizer05jon_y: sounds like a flaw in tracker conf. We might need to address it in CSSU11:58
jon_ywell, iirc there is a built in list of places to track already11:58
DocScrutinizer05jon_y: but you can tweak tracker settings easily yourself11:58
jon_yso I just added "/" to the exclude list and redo the index11:59

jonwilok, so what exactly are the end-user benefits of replacing BME anyway?14:02
keriojonwil: easier USB hostmode14:03
jonwili.e. why do it other than "because we can" or "because its open"14:03
jonwilok14:03
kerioif you don't rely on BME for battery indicator, you can get one while doing freaky stuff that make USB engineers cry in their sleep14:03

DocScrutinizer05bme IS an abomination14:06
DocScrutinizer05but it's not correct to say it spams the i2c-bus and does not use it properly14:07
DocScrutinizer05it's rather like i2c device in itself has some compatibiltiy issues by design, when it comes to kernel modules like bq27x0014:08
*** maybeWTF has quit IRC14:08

jonwilas for getting rid of icd, it should be possible IF people wanted to put some effort into it. Firstly one would need to start by replacing the WiFi bits using e.g. icd-network-wpa and the info I posted and stuff. Then one would need to replace the other plugins (i.e. GPRS plugin) then after that one can replace ICD2 itself. Biggest issue is dealing with osso-wlan-security :)14:09

MohammadAGzeq, I'll reboot again to check, it was plugged in from the start16:23
DocScrutinizer05MohammadAG: did you listen to me? toldya to check what kernel module gets loaded when you plug in the modem16:24
DocScrutinizer05you'll need 2 things for that: syslog/whatever, and plugging in the modem _after_ booting16:24
DocScrutinizer05lsmod might help as well16:24
MohammadAGzeq, no, they're there from bootup16:25
MohammadAGDocScrutinizer05, no new lines in dmesg after plugging in16:25
DocScrutinizer05now that's a bad thing16:25
DocScrutinizer05lsusb won't show anything either then16:25

MohammadAGDocScrutinizer05, something that runs on 4MBs of flash16:28
DocScrutinizer05well, without modprobe you're fecked16:28

DocScrutinizer05unless the fools thought insmod is sufficient replacement16:28

zeqMohammadAG: if it's not installed there probably is a pkg for it16:38
DocScrutinizer05though - what's pseudo-c?16:38

MohammadAGzeq, if what isn't installed?16:38
zeqMohammadAG: but you should be able to tell if it has started as a memstick16:38
MohammadAGwell, I'd rather get dmesg to show stuff first16:38

kguheh17:32
kerioIMAP is a programmatic webmail17:32
jon_yPOP3 is the best, don't need constant connection to work17:33
DocScrutinizer05exactly17:33
zeqI use IMAP :P17:33
DocScrutinizer05and backfiring to server is minimal17:34
jon_yI don't need the server to tell me I can't read my 3 day old mail because it's out for maintenance17:34
zeqwell, it's my own server, so ...17:35
kguDocScrutinizer05: well, you can do pop3 on modest17:35
DocScrutinizer05and I don't need my server make a mail vanish on all clients because I deleted it on N90017:35

DocScrutinizer05actually that's the thing I need the least17:36
*** qwazix_ has quit IRC17:37

dreamerhi all, is this still the preferred way to automount ext2 microsd cards? http://wiki.maemo.org/Ext2_on_microSD_card17:41
DocScrutinizer05yes17:41
keriodreamer: last i heard, CSSU's automounter mounted *everything*17:42
zeqkerio: not without protective circuitry17:42
StyXman_DocScrutinizer05: probably you want disconnected imap, but if'you're fine with downloading the mails, pop and imap are equivalent17:42
jon_ydreamer: use cssu17:42
*** sq-one has joined #maemo17:42
keriozeq: which protective circuitry? i'd charge using the n900 itself17:42

DocScrutinizer05StyXman_: exactly17:42
dreamerjon_y: afaik I have cssu installed ..17:42

DocScrutinizer05the wonders of imap17:46
kerioDocScrutinizer05: it's exactly the same as POP in that regard17:46
kerioisn't it17:46
DocScrutinizer05no way17:46
jon_yDocScrutinizer05: cloud computing!!17:46
jon_ythin clients!!17:46
DocScrutinizer05pop download is download17:46
DocScrutinizer05no way to remote delete a mail on any remote client17:47
jon_yman, I get sick of getting told how much cloud integration $new_phone has17:47
keriosure, and if you IMAP download from all your clients, you get the same behavior as POP17:47
StyXman_DocScrutinizer05: no, but once you downloaded and deleted, either with pop or imap, other clients won't see those emails either17:47
jon_yso, I need to sign up with dropbox to get any external storage :(17:47
keriohaha17:47
keriojon_y: google drive!17:47
jon_yyeah, skydrive too17:48
StyXman_what you can do is have your mail in a dirmail setup and sync it with git17:48
DocScrutinizer05so bottom line: fsck imap, pop worked fine for 4 decades17:48
dreamerjon_y: how can I check if I have the cssu automounter?17:48

FIQI can't remove this requirement?18:14
DocScrutinizer05kerio: shutup fool. I said extras-devel18:14
kerioextras-devel is like extras, but stuff isn't ancient18:14
keriosoftware in extras is *not* more stable18:14
DocScrutinizer05no, it's also 30 times the size18:14
kerioit should be, but it isn't18:14
FIQI'm very sure that the battery will not drop before, and also, I've been able to update PRs before with 20% (through xterm) battery18:15

DocScrutinizer05:nod:18:17
DocScrutinizer05sounds about right18:17
DocScrutinizer05anyway 70% should suffice18:18
FIQi.e. when updating CSSU, there's a window like with PR updates, "Update for Maemo: blablablabla Create backup copy or continue?" and then a battery check18:18
DocScrutinizer05hmmm18:18
keriothat's when you're updating a package marked sys, or something18:18
kerioand mp-community-fremantle-pr is one of those18:18
kerioor whatever it's called18:19
DocScrutinizer05never seen that, maybe because usually my battery is 100% when doing updates18:19

*** Kilroo has joined #maemo19:23
jonwilyeah I wasnt suggesting writing something new19:23
jonwilwhat I was saying is that we need to come up with something that talks to the same dbus interfaces, gconf keys etc that are expected by other parts of the system19:23
jonwilspecifically the bits we cant easily change19:23
jonwilI think thats why19:25
jonwilI think 'that's why things like camera-ui, new clock etc have been attractive for devs is that they can be done without breaking stuff19:25

Lava_Croftguess which poor N900 was doing all the navigation?19:26
kguLava_Croft: Which app did you use?19:27
jonwilwell lots of people have said ICD sucks, also by replacing it with something open it can support things like some of the fancy WiFi security bits that the stock stuff doesn't do19:27
Lava_Croftkgu: mappero19:27
Lava_Crofti almost exclusively use mappero19:27
Lava_Croftsometimes marble, but i cant really get around its gui19:27
jon_ynow, stick a control system on it and have the phone steer for you :)19:28
kgumappero better than modrana?19:28

jabis DocScrutinizer05 well not exactly - usually the superuser-level is in the hands of user - not an outside authority20:38
DocScrutinizer05no way20:39
DocScrutinizer05it starts with there's no such role as superuser in that concept. There isn't _any_ roles20:39
jabisI'm talking about authority - not privileges20:41
jabisthus authority has superceding control over the chain of trust - and authority being in hands of user - not distributor20:42
DocScrutinizer05that's not chain of trust20:43
DocScrutinizer05that's age old permissions20:43
jabisno - chain of trust relies for example some certificates - but authority is the user accepting the certs20:45
