*** LaoLang_cool has joined #maemo03:58
Ken-YoungI had a perfectly working Maemo 5 scratchbox SDK running on my laptop, but foolishly I "upgraded" to the most recent version of Ubuntu, and now the Hildon widgets in my scratchbox environment no longer work properly.   Mouse clicks are ignored, pulldown menus only partiially appear, etc.   Does anyone know how a problem like this can be fixed, or how old a version of Ubuntu I would need to install to have the Maemo 5 SDK work properly?03:58

LaoLang_coolPut n900's battery out for a long time, then put it in and start n900, n900 will prompt to set date and time04:26
LaoLang_coolMy question is: how to change the prompt to another default date, time and the time zone?04:27
LaoLang_coolSo I don't need to adjust the time zone next time it prompts04:28

dxgxcg~n900-full-reset11:17
infobotextra, extra, read all about it, n900-full-reset is when the user presses the PWRON (power-on) button for 8 seconds and removes the battery in the next 8 seconds, the TPS65950 enters NO SUPPLY state instead of BACKUP state, even if a valid backup battery is present. In such a situation, the backup domain registers are also reset, along with the VRRTC domain registers.11:17

Estel_good point, never tried it11:17

edheldilHi all, since yesterday I have several times experienced problem with my n900, that SIM card was disconnected and message displayed about "all telephone functions disabled". It always happened (I think) when I was carrying the phone in pocket. Is it a known terminal bug with n9000s, or is it more likely just a bad SIM?11:24

edheldilthat was really helpful, infobot :-D11:25
Macermine has the same problem11:26
jacekowskiedheldil: it may be just mechanical issue11:27
jacekowskiedheldil: of sim not making good contact11:27
Macersome have had luck by carefully bending the pins upwards11:27
jacekowskithough, it may be problem with rapuyama11:27
Macersome by folding a piece of apper and shoving it between the cover and the battery11:27
Macerand some (like mine) it is a hardware issue11:27
Macer:-/11:27
jacekowskiyou can check if you can get at interface to rapuyama when that happens11:27
Macerrauyama?11:28

edheldiland how can I check that I can get to rapuyama? I might be able to test with multimeter's probes somewhere accessible, but that's about the extent of my options11:50
edheldileasily accessible11:50
jacekowskiatd11:51
jacekowskiiirc11:51
jacekowskithere is a command that allows you to get rapuyama AT interface11:51

ivgalvezDocScrutinizer05 and Estel_13:14
ivgalvezabout your recent discussion13:14
ivgalvezfor sure not the last one13:14
*** lxp1 has quit IRC13:15
ivgalvezEstel_: "DocScrutinizer05, You're also warned officially. There actually is ongoing process of revieving Your mental ability to be chanop in *any* Maemo channel. Of cours,e due to your constaint threat of kick/ban/whatever pathetic, while You lsoe Your nerves during discussion. just for sake of your contributions to being chanop - get a deep breath, go for a walk..." ---> This is not true, there13:16
ivgalvezisn't any official process in progress  to review chanop position of DocScrutinizer0513:16
ivgalvezHowever, I must say that both of you are absolutely unpolite13:16
ivgalvezthis is a discussion forum not a tavern13:17
ivgalvezDocScrutinizer05: "so I declare busybox-power as a ban'able subjext in this chan just for you" --> This threat is not fair13:17
ivgalvezPlease chill out13:18
* Luke-Jr notes that X-Fade owns #maemo and DocScrutinizer05 owns #harmattan, and anyone else making threats regarding chanop status is just a power-grab.13:19
*** LaoLang_cool has joined #maemo13:19
*** LaoLang_coo_ has quit IRC13:20
edheldilDocScrutinizer05:  will try that next time it breaks, thank you13:21
ivgalvezEstel_: if you want to present any accusation about DocScrutinizer05 abusing chanop position you must send a message to Community mailing list instead of PM me13:22
ivgalvezEstel_"well, for me it isn't, and higher authorities will investigate it - along with other evidence of DocScrutinizer05 abuse (which was already considered valid)." --> This is again an invalid assumption, you must present any allegation you consider in the open.13:23

ZogG_laptopi think some people should stop being childish and play idiotic games.13:33
*** MikaT has quit IRC13:33
ZogG_laptopand DocScrutinizer05 was kicking and banning people for few years (mostly threating), but he is ok with being chanop most times. so i think if it's only one person that has problems with him, as well as same person having and searching the problem with others. so it's not Doc a problem at all :)13:34
ZogG_laptopDocScrutinizer05: :-*13:34
Estel_ivgalvez, so, you preffer me to start flame war with irc logs aetc on mailing list...13:34
Estel_Instead of writing it to people with higher authority over maemo's irc?13:35
Estel_fair enough13:35
*** LaoLang_cool has quit IRC13:35
*** MikaT has joined #maemo13:35
Estel_ivgalvez, if that's what You want, no problems, but I doubt that we need Council at all, if we need to do everything on our own, all the time.13:35
Estel_if You preffer it like that, i'll post it into mailing list - including Your explanation why You don't want to remove him from chanop *yet*.13:36
Estel_(quoted from PM's)13:36
Estel_I hardly feel it approriate, but You don't leave me other choice.13:36
Estel_ivgalvez ^^^13:36
ZogG_laptopoh noooooooo13:37
ivgalvezEstel_ now you're going too far13:37
ZogG_laptopivgalvez: i think the best way is just to grab popcorn :P13:37
ivgalvezI haven't said "I don't want to remove him from chanop yet"13:38
ZogG_laptophe made a fool of himself once, let him do it again13:38
ivgalvezEstel_ You are trying to conduct your personal war against DocScrutinizer05 for IRC power since the very first day you were selected for Council and you were told by the rest of the members to stop that and that you were trying to abuse your position13:40
Estel_ivgalvez, as far as I remember, my "personal war" was just like now - mentioning abuse and wanting to take official action about it13:40
Estel_now, You're councilor.13:40
Estel_if You write me, using Pm, one thing (about how you agree, but don't want to do it in hard times of tranformation), and come here, to write another things13:41
Estel_it's unfair, IMO13:41
Estel_if You're begging for transparency, i'll give it to You.13:41
Estel_now, you're trying to show me in bad light, ignoring our previous conversations.13:41
ivgalvezI told you that I thought it wasn't time, with such big challenges ahead, to start such a fight13:42
Estel_I acknowledge that for Council, Irc chanop management is totally rogue - i.e, it's left for people that have chanop now to do whatever they want, without any consequences. I'll hapilly comfort that with things you have written before13:42
Estel_should I quote?"13:42
Luke-Jrthe Council has no authority over the IRC channels, kthx13:42
ivgalveznot that I wanted to remove DocScrutinizer0513:42
Estel_"It's always the same with this guy [ DocScrutinizer05 ], i'm bored with that". then, comes part about hard times.13:42
Estel_X-Fade told us, that he is willing to give Council rights over IRc management13:43
Estel_as he is founder13:43
Estel_leaving cooperation with Nokia.13:43
ivgalvezEstel_: BULLSHIT!!! that was referring to discussions about whatr can be included in CSSU and whatnot13:43
Estel_You know what? Leaving diplomacy aside, i'm tired of this bullshit, I can hapilly live with fucked up IRC stuffed with mad chanops, or without irc channel at all.13:43
Luke-Jrsigh13:44
*** murrayc has quit IRC13:44
Estel_ivgalvez, OK - I'll post whole, unaltered PM's, for people to judge13:44
Estel_if Council doesn't want to touch it, it's not my problem, too13:44
Estel_just don't complaion, when people rise doubts about Council doing *any* thing, at all.13:44
Estel_what You have done here, is essentially and literally ensuring abusive chanop, that he will be left to do whatever he want.13:45
Estel_I'mtired of this bullshit enough, to declare this topic void and null in my personal book.13:45
ivgalvezthat's also not true13:45
Estel_I'm not talking about intentions - just about results13:45
Estel_whatever, not my problem anyway13:45
ivgalvezI haven't give any abusive power to any one13:45
DocScrutinizer05if only this one line would result in appropriate consequences taken13:46
Estel_yea, it's not Council responsibility. It's X-Fade. The problem is that he is LEAVING. even before that, he agreed to remove chanops, if asked by Council.13:46
ZogG_laptopif everyone around you are wrong, maybe the problem is you?13:46
DocScrutinizer05incorrrect, learn2IRC13:46
Estel_Now, he wanted to cooperate with Council about give all administrative tools, which Council, of course, refused to accept - as with every thing that require responsibility13:46
DocScrutinizer05protip: /cs help13:46
Estel_my problem with Council - Council doesn't want to take *any* responsibility about *anything* at all, ivgalvez. results:" everytrhing is left as rogue13:47
DocScrutinizer05I.E. chan founder is primary responsible of a chan13:47
Estel_if official maemo's IRc channels are not Council responsibility, who the fuck is responsible for it?13:47
DocScrutinizer05but hey, it13:47
Estel_founder is LEAVING13:47
Estel_X-Fade is founder13:47
Estel_he want to pass rights to Council13:47
Estel_|Council doesn't want to take it13:47
Estel_results - no one is maintaining it, DocScrutinizer05 and other pathetic egomaniacs are happy13:48
ZogG_laptopbecause council is changing13:48
Estel_topic closed13:48
Estel_see ya.13:48
ZogG_laptopand council is not community kings13:48
ivgalvezEstel_: you have the right to present any complaint for IRC management, I just told you I thought it wasn't the right moment because that would be harmful for the community13:48
DocScrutinizer05's about estel_ phone, so it's to be ruled by him (or council), no matter if IRC, or repos, or admin of servers, or the sales price13:48
ZogG_laptopcommunity is comunity and it worked like that for a long time13:48
ivgalvezand if you want to present a complain you must do it officially13:48
Estel_ivgalvez, sure. My opinion is that irc channels without anyone feeling responsible for it, is more harmful13:48
ZogG_laptopand as X-Fade gave doc chanop and doc still has it, there are reasons13:48
ivgalvezperfect, then ellaborate and send it to community mailibng list13:48
Estel_I did it officially, to people that i felt were responsible. It turned out, that those people are not responsible for *anything*. No problem - acknowledged13:49
ivgalvezbut don't say that actions will be taken speaking for Council13:49
Estel_sure13:49
Estel_well13:49
teotwakiEstel_: if you believe we're being egomaniacs about how me manage #maemo, try stepping a foot in #php, #gentoo or #linuxmint-*13:49
Estel_I wont forget to mention your PM's and explain, why I took them as declararation of taking care about problem.13:49
ZogG_laptopofficially == pm'ed one of council's i know about my hard life at irc?13:49
ivgalvezAbsolutely not, you know that Council is not in charge of naming anyone to be in charge of anything13:50
Estel_ZogG_laptop, while You're just trying to troll, I'll actually answer You - oficially = collected every situation of DocScrutinizer05 threating about abusing power without *any* real merit to do so...13:50
DocScrutinizer05*sigh* Estel_ redefining IRC. May I suggest you /join #freenode and elaborate about it there?13:50
Estel_then, sending it to people that *sahould* be responsible about it13:50
Estel_it turned out that those people don't feel responsible for IRC - what a surprise13:50
ivgalvezEstel_ you know that Council can't be responsible of IRC13:50
Estel_so problem is closed13:50
Estel_ivgalvez, so who is?13:51
ivgalvezas we cannot be responsible of TMO13:51
ZogG_laptopteotwaki: meh, gentoo is not a good example :P i was banned there for a long time, as i just answered rude for someone i even didn't know on pm :P and after all i mostly helped people there :P13:51
Estel_ivgalvez, bullshit. X-Fade already declared that he is willing to work with Council about IRC13:51
Estel_it's Council who denied!13:51
ivgalvezstatus of Council refrains for that13:51
Estel_considering that X-Fade also declared he is leaving, it's just that Council leaves IRC on it's own.13:51
ZogG_laptopEstel_: officialy is maillist and not starting war on back in private pm as u did! So please... who is trolling13:51
ivgalvezwe are just steering group13:51
teotwakiZogG_laptop: and I got banned from #gentoo because I thought an op was abusive, same thing on #php and #linuxmint, even though I always contributed positively13:51
Estel_ZogG_laptop, mailing list isn't authority governing IRC.13:51
Estel_Council is, in my book. Or was, as they denied :)13:52
ZogG_laptopEstel_: it's community comunication13:52
teotwaki(I got banned from #linuxmint for asking why someone got kicked instead of devoiced)13:52
Estel_got problem with that, ZogG_laptop?13:52
Estel_teotwaki, nice story, wanna talk about it?13:52
ivgalvezCouncil cannot take ownership of TMO as well. It's the same than IRC13:52
teotwakiEstel_: I'm good, Dr Freud, but thanks.13:52
Estel_otherwise, mentioning idiots on other channels, isn't good argument about idiots in our channel.13:52
DocScrutinizer05NB Estel_ still hasn't managed to understand how IRC works, he's thinking x-fade is chan founder of #maemo-ssu (which is the chan we're talking about right now)13:52
ZogG_laptopit was enuf for you to aprove to get yurself device over maillist and now it's not official for irc?13:52
Estel_ivgalvez, so again, please answer13:52
teotwakiEstel_: well, I could ban your arse and be done with this discussion.13:52
DocScrutinizer05teotwaki: please do13:53
Estel_who is responsible over IRC, when X-Fade leaves, and Council denied to take "tools"?13:53
teotwakiI mean, at least it would give you a reason to bitch and moan13:53
ZogG_laptopEstel_: your channel? your channel? it's community channel. it worked like that before you was here and would be after you go.13:53
teotwakinot that you've ever needed a reason13:53
Estel_ivgalvez, I hope You gt question, as it was spammed already ;)13:53
ivgalvezX-Fade is administrator but he leaving doesn't make Council capable of taking ownership13:53
teotwakiif anything, ownership should go back to GA13:54
ZogG_laptopEstel_: and till now i don't think people had problems with Doc and who did resolved it. for example i had problems with him, but i talked to him and we ok.13:54
ivgalvezbecause of Council responsibilities doesn¡t fit13:54
teotwakiwho I believe, was one of the chanowners, before we provided access to x-fade, just to prevent anyone in the community taking over and abusing it13:54
ZogG_laptopit's just Estel_ wants council to have all and than to be council again when there is all power all over mamemo :)13:54
ivgalvezBoard of Directors (if voted) could have more responsibilities than Council13:55
teotwakiwell fuck it, he can have it for all I care13:55
Estel_ivgalvez, X-Fade wanted Council to take ownership. council refused.13:55
Estel_ivgalvez, You're avoiding question13:55
*** em has joined #maemo13:55
ivgalvezNo, I'm responding13:55
Estel_I ask "who is responsible, if X-Fade leaves".13:55
ZogG_laptopteotwaki: actually gentoo got more rotten :P and many contributors and old-fags left. but you are welcome at funtoo btw. after it's drobbin's second child :P13:55
Estel_You're telling me who isn't responsible,. and I'm asking who IS responsible.13:55
ivgalvezThat's a problem13:55
Estel_do you see subtle difference?13:55
DocScrutinizer05Estel_ is concerned about IRC that he can live without ;-P13:55
ivgalvezthe same with servers and all Maemo related stuff13:56
Estel_I don't want to hear from Council "it's not our problem", I want to hear how You would like to solve this problem.13:56
ivgalvezBy-laws13:56
ivgalvezbut they must be approved13:56
*** VDVsx has quit IRC13:56
ZogG_laptopEstel_: owner is owner, but it's also team of people who worked here for a while, they were chanops for a long time and it worked fine13:56
ivgalvezthen there will be legal entity capable of taking actions Council can't13:56
Estel_ivgalvez, do you realize that irc management is a mess in total? for example, maemo-ssu wasn't founded by X-Fade (but he ensured, that he could take ownership without problems, from freenode)13:56
Estel_if Council don't want to fix this mess, who shall? ivgalvez?13:57
teotwakidude13:57
ZogG_laptopEstel_: are you irc cop?13:57
teotwakithere's what, 6 people on #maemo-ssu?13:57
teotwakithe number of idlers in #maemo is dwindling by the day13:57
teotwakigive it another year, and the channel will be dead13:57
merlin1991teotwaki: it's 50 on #maemo-ssu13:57
ZogG_laptopand why maemo-ssu should be councilors as well?13:57
MrPinguWhat happened here? :O13:57
ZogG_laptopthe chan was made by cssu creators13:58
Estel_MrPingu, as ussual ;P13:58
teotwakiNokia never had a say in CSSU13:58
ZogG_laptopwhile they did it alone (started CSSU)13:58
teotwakithat was the whole fucking point of CSSU13:58
Luke-JrNokia is out of the picture AFAIK13:58
teotwakiso why would X-Fade have had anything to do with CSSU channel ownership?13:58
Luke-Jr#Maemo-SSU is owned by DocScrutinizer05 and MohammadAG13:58
teotwaki#maemo was never a legal representation of the community13:58
Estel_tetwaki - because it steps in Maemo's community thing, and X-Fade though that Council is actually elected by community for a reason13:59
teotwakiBut x-fade has never taken any administrative steps in the channel13:59
ZogG_laptopEstel_: elected to rule?13:59
DocScrutinizer05well, while some of the more reasonable teach about IRC here, and try to convince Estel_ to take his pills, I have a daywork to pursue13:59
ZogG_laptopis it kingdom?13:59
DocScrutinizer05bbl13:59
teotwakihis ownership equated to basically, us telling him who to add to the operator lists13:59
Estel_considering that X-Fade - just like me - though that Council want to be responsible about *anything*, he wanted to claim ownership of maemo-ssu too, if Council ask for it13:59
teotwakiEstel_: ^14:00
ZogG_laptopEstel_: it would sucks if people like you would have all powers14:00
Luke-JrEstel_: X-Fade has no authority in #Maemo-SSU14:00
Estel_teotwaki, saw it. Well, I said it's a mess - especially, considering freenode rules about projects14:00
Luke-Jrneither do freenode staff for that matter14:00
ZogG_laptopthan i bet you'll ban more, we saw how u talk when u was council :P14:00
ZogG_laptopand i bet your actuon wouldn't differ14:00
ivgalvezEstel_, jsut a summary: Council is just steering group for the community, doesn't have real powers, no matter what X-Fade, you or any other could think about it. It wouldn't be legal nor moral to claim Council ownership over any Maemo resources14:00
Estel_Luke-Jr, he would have authority if he wanted too, read freenode rulews about channel names14:00
Estel_ivgalvez, currently, Council isn't any steering group, as it doesn't want to .take *any* problems14:01
Luke-JrEstel_: is there a GRF in place?14:01
Estel_Coding Competition got promised voting mechanism, but it isn't going to happen? councilor answered "fuck you" using prettier words14:01
ivgalvezto avoid the void that Nokia and Nemein are leaving we propose to form a new Community via By-laws14:01
Estel_aka "do it yourself"14:01
Estel_there is problem with abusive chanop?14:01
Luke-Jrin any case, Nokia is no longer involved in Maemo.14:01
teotwakiEstel_: if you want, it takes me 20s to rename the channel to ##maemo14:02
Estel_"sorry, we're not authority. there is no authority over IRC channels, currently> thank you, yours Council"14:02
ZogG_laptopivgalvez: it's ok i think as well meegoexperts, n9-apps maemos.ru and other sites should be transfered for council administration. I think elop should report daily to council as well14:02
Luke-Jrteotwaki: don't bother, the channel's old enough to be grandfathered in14:02
Luke-Jrteotwaki: and there is no official Maemo entity really anymore14:02
Estel_ivgalvez, bylaws is one thing, but managing what is under Community (represented by Council) responsibility NOW is another14:02
teotwakiI know that14:02
teotwakijust making a point14:02
DocScrutinizer05x-fade taking over #maemo-ssu would require him to actually WANT to do that14:02
Estel_basically, you're telling us that until bylaws got accepted, You won't lift single finger to help with any problem14:02
ZogG_laptopteotwaki: oh, i think you are one of the freenode people, aren't you :P14:02
teotwakiZogG_laptop: nope14:03
Luke-Jrteotwaki = crashanddie14:03
DocScrutinizer05he's probably also not amused to hear "Jump!" from this mad guy14:03
ZogG_laptopteotwaki: so how would you rename?14:03
Estel_ivgalvez, it's basically leaving everything to work on it's own,. before bylaws are accepted and foundation created. I.e "full wild life" and totally rogue.14:03
Luke-JrEstel_: your "bylaws" have no relevance to IRC either14:03
merlin1991Estel_: it's been "full wild life" before that aswell14:03
Estel_my bylaws?14:04
teotwakiZogG_laptop: op myself, setup automated redirect to ##maemo, kick everyone14:04
Estel_how it's mine? 0_o?14:04
ZogG_laptopLuke-Jr: teotwaki both nicks familiur. i think from gentoo and as well here i had chat with him but it was few years ago14:04
Luke-JrEstel_: because I ignore them14:04
merlin1991well technically X-Fade could be able to take over #maemo-ssu thanks to freenode policy about project names but why would he want to, and even if he did what stops us from using another name?14:04
ZogG_laptopmerlin1991: it;s all about power games14:04
DocScrutinizer05it's about Estel_ redefining IRC14:05
DocScrutinizer05and taking lessons14:05
ZogG_laptopmerlin1991: it's like that u do all the work and that only few people started it while most jsut only use, the elite should control you.14:05
teotwaki"Inferior Rebel Chat"14:05
Luke-Jrthe Council only represents those who choose to recognize it as as representing them.14:05
ZogG_laptoplike in soviet russia :P when they said to sientist what to do and no creativity otherwise you are dead14:05
*** MikaT has quit IRC14:06
ZogG_laptopDocScrutinizer05: it's not only IRC, he is teaching council on TMO what to do with voting system and people, how not to ask rudely questiont to council14:06
DocScrutinizer05haha, while he is as rude as it gets14:07
*** maybeWTF has joined #maemo14:07
teotwakioh and Estel_, for the record, Doc and I were more abusive as mods on TMO than we ever were on IRC.14:07
*** MikaT has joined #maemo14:07
teotwakiwhen's the last complaint regarding abusive op on #maemo been?14:07
ivgalvezEstel_ the same than IRC applies to TMO. Actual administrator is Reggie and there are moderators, you could have whatever grief with any moderator you want to but Council won't be able to do anything about it. TMO administration can't be handed to Council by any means, the same applies to IRC. Board of Directors however will be able to receive permissions over TMO and promote a process to select14:08
ivgalvezadministrators.14:08
teotwakiwhen the hell has there been a kick, recently?14:08
Estel_ivgalvez, so, basically, we're putting lights off...14:08

*** lxp has joined #maemo14:09
Estel_ivgalvez, it isn't a stance that I would expect from elected Maemo's Council. anyway, continuing this discussion doesn't make any sense14:10
ZogG_laptopteotwaki: have you seen The Office?14:10
ivgalvezWe are not putting lights off we are preparing the transformation in a legal entity capable of handling such things14:10
teotwakiEstel_: this discussion makes plenty of sense, you don't.14:10
Estel_I thing I'm stuffed up enough with all this bullshit about no one wanting to take responsibility about anything. I understand, why both developers and old-time users are getting frustrated.14:10
teotwakiEstel_: if you want to be an abusive ego-driven douche, just admit it.14:11
Estel_teotwaki, well, you're free to have such opinion, of course.14:11
teotwakiBut don't go making up stories about "But what if the owners leave?"14:11
ivgalvezThat's what Council is14:11
ivgalveznothing more14:11
ZogG_laptopEstel_: who is those devs and old-users?14:11
teotwakiDo you honestly believe that x-fade wouldn't take two minutes to transfer ownership to GA, or Jaffa?14:11
Estel_all i'mtrying to point out is that, following current interpretation by ivgalvez, chanops can do whatever shit they want, because no one is responsible for them.14:11
teotwakiEstel_: actually, you're wrong.14:11
Estel_but thatt's not my problem, after all, and I have wasted enough "breath" (clicks) for that topic, already14:12
ZogG_laptopteotwaki: GA is chaop and it's not related :P14:12
teotwakiEstel_: if I cross the line, anyone in the community can tell me to fuck off, and any person in the /cs access list could go to freenode and have me removed.14:12
Estel_I just hope that such inability to coordinate and maintain *anything* - from Council - won't hurt Maemo's Community, making most important devs and dedicated users to leave.14:12
Estel_End of message ;)14:12
ZogG_laptopEstel_: i think you can go to #abuse and #help channels :P14:13
teotwakiThe Council has been a joke for ages14:13
ZogG_laptopit's the most official freenode thing u can get here :P14:13
ZogG_laptopteotwaki: i didn't followed their actions too much but as see some members who was council on all times, they were contributors (not relevant of being council or not)14:14
ZogG_laptopteotwaki: now the most annoying thing, as how do i know u as i know bth your nicks14:16
*** alehorst has quit IRC14:16

ZogG_laptopteotwaki: than thanks again :P14:18
*** pcfe has quit IRC14:19
teotwakiEstel_: I'm serious though, if you want to ego-trip and get ownership of the channel, just go ahead and say it.14:19
teotwakiBut don't pretend you're doing it for "the greater good".14:20
ZogG_laptopteotwaki: he'll ban everyone than :P14:20
teotwakiAs I said, it's ruins already, not like there's much to manage.14:20
ZogG_laptopat the end it would be Estel_ freenode owner :P14:20

Estel_I mentioned abusive chanops, you mention that there are abusive chanops on other channels too. I mentioned that it's bad for community, you're telling us that irc will be empty soon anyway14:28
Estel_it's clear that you jsut don't care, so You're, probably, enjoying all that mess14:28

teotwakiZogG_laptop: yes and no.14:48
ZogG_laptopteotwaki: i'm from the same country that MohammadAG are14:48
ZogG_laptopteotwaki: i remember somthing french related with you14:48
teotwakiZogG_laptop: I always went to school in the french speaking side, but I've always lived (and my family is from) in the dutch/flemish part.14:48

MohammadAGMy first iOS app http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bo-ZPOz7gIw14:49
teotwakiyay, first view!14:49
ZogG_laptopteotwaki: oh, i remember someone told me that it was about you an i said you are okay, but they told you are abusive or something14:49
ZogG_laptopMohammadAG: please no!!!!14:50
teotwakiyeah, sounds about right14:50
ZogG_laptopMohammadAG: don't do it14:50
DocScrutinizer51a chanop that never gets accused to be abusive probably does a poor job14:50

ZogG_laptopDocScrutinizer51: i was never told i was abusive14:51
MohammadAGZogG_laptop: Why14:51
ZogG_laptopactually i was once after i banned someone who said racist thing and after i kicked he came back to say more.14:51
ZogG_laptopbut after he was unbanned and kept talking, and everyone said that i'm not right i left that chan and didn't come back for a long time14:52

DocScrutinizer51~n900-full-reset16:37
infobotit has been said that n900-full-reset is when the user presses the PWRON (power-on) button for 8 seconds and removes the battery in the next 8 seconds, the TPS65950 enters NO SUPPLY state instead of BACKUP state, even if a valid backup battery is present. In such a situation, the backup domain registers are also reset, along with the VRRTC domain registers.16:37

Fabian_SI had problems for many months. I only could power the device while on wall charger, restarting was ok. Sometimes the battery indicator didn't updated, sometimes no charging was initiated when plugging in wall charger.16:40
DocScrutinizer51~reflash16:40
infobotsomebody said reflash was zImage and/or initrd.bin on CF and press C+D+Reset (collie) OR updater.sh, zimage.bin and/or initrd.bin on CF/SD and press OK while rebooting, then option 4, then CD or SF, then HAI (yes), then wait and cross fingers (all other models)16:40

fastaDo you also have that everytime you use a web-application that the vendor finds some excuse as to why it doesn't work?17:35
fastaIt's nothing but beta testing and of course there is no way to get around using the web-application to achieve certain real-world goals.17:35
fastaI think they forgot the part of automation where the automation should actually work.17:36
fasta(Just like Nokia has forgotten the part of customer service, where the customer service people need to understand English.)17:36

lartza_fasta: every vendor has excuses for everything17:37
fastalartza_: I don't mind services which I can escape from, but things which you have to use are just a nightmare.17:38
fastaThe same thing applies to the government usually.17:38

fastalartza_: that's just want they want you to think.17:50
fastalartza_: it's greed, nothing else.17:50
fastaI also wonder why we don't just say we live in a communistic state.17:51
fastaMore than 50% of all expenses are done by the government here.17:51
fastaI am not sure, how else you would call that.17:52
fastaWhen is it communism? Only if it is at 100%?17:52
fastaIt's the same thing with physical security.17:53
fastaLet's say you are a jeweler and want to protect your property.17:53
fastaAn efficient way to solve this would be to put a camera somewhere, detect that it's outside of the normal opening hours, detect that someone is not recognizable and then fire some shotgun wired to a computer.17:54
fastaExcept, that's illegal.17:54
fredrinLaphey17:54
fredrinLapAny Raspberry Pi users here?17:54
fredrinLapthat got both an N900 and Pi?17:54
fastaBut in the meanwhile, when you would hook up the same system to a phone calling the equivalent of 911, that would _also_ be illegal.17:54
fastaAs such, the rules are setup such that criminals will always win.17:55
fastaWhy would that be? The only reason I can think of is for them (police) to keep a job.17:55
fastaThe purpose of government isn't to solve problems; it's to create them.17:55

Lava_Croftbut apparently setting it to save on the device itself and then removing the sd card (after turning it off:) and rebooting it again18:10

jacekowskibut saudi arabia was pretty bad18:16
fastajacekowski: I think TomTom certainly provides a valuable experience (unlike most other software).18:16
jacekowskibecause we were in poor part of the country18:16
jacekowski(we spent something like 100SAR for food there for week - while single sandwich on airport costed 100SAR)18:17
fastajacekowski: I have another brand of personal navigation embedded device and after an update it also gets the job done just fine.18:17
jacekowskibut basically, you i go and a lot of people do that as well18:17
jacekowskito places where there is no internet18:17
fastajacekowski: as such, you are basically paying something for the extra quality of TomTom.18:17
jacekowskior it's not easy to access18:17
lartza_if I was going to poor parts of saudi arabia i'd probably also buy the more expensive commercial gps18:18
fastaStill, TomTom has some parts which are not exactly ideal, for example they are a C++ shop.18:18
jacekowskilartza_: why, same stuff18:18
jacekowskiand it saves weight18:18
fastaAs a consumer you will only notice that as 'oh, look it works fast'.18:18
fastaBut they will likely lag in features compared to others.18:18
jacekowskiwell, C++ is a good thing18:18
jacekowskiC would be better18:19
fastaI think Nokia using Prolog for certain features was a good move.18:19
fastaStill, I think Nokia  built pretty bad UI applications.18:19
jacekowskibut thing is, internet in saudi is pretty cheap18:19
jacekowskiiirc it was 100SAR (£17) for simcard with internet for month18:19
fastajacekowski: why would C be better?18:20
jacekowskibut coverage on the desert/poor part of the country was not perfect18:20
fastaIf computers were infinitely fast, I think C++ would be better.18:20
fastaC++ compiles just so slowly.18:20
jacekowskiC++ has all disadvantages of C18:20
jacekowskiwith added disadvantages of OOP18:20
fastaUsing C++ in a particular way leads to fairly safe code.18:21
jacekowskithing is, C++ has a lot of nasty "features"18:21
jacekowskiand duplicate features18:21
fastaYes, it's a big language.18:21
*** sirdancealot has quit IRC18:21
jacekowskiC++ being designed as C compatible was a mistake18:22
fastaI think everyone always wants to take shortcuts.18:22
fastaA language like Coq combined with Bedrock or something like that would actually allow you to say 'this code has no bugs'.18:22
jacekowski+ polymorphism18:22

fastajacekowski: ATS is also a decently designed language.18:23
fastajacekowski: it's just that the current implementation is a bit ... meh.18:23
fastaThat's the case with lots of these languages.18:23
jacekowskireally, C# is the future18:23
fastajacekowski: why would that be?18:23
fastaIt doesn't run on Linux in a decent way, there are no decent tools on Linux.18:24
fastaAnd you still get a garbage collector for 'free'.18:24
fastaGarbage collection doesn't work for a lot of applications.18:24
* ShadowJK namedrops Objective C18:24
fastaShadowJK: cheap Smalltalk ripoff.18:25
fastaI think everything has already been invented; it's just building a good implementation now.18:25

jacekowskiC++ should have GC18:26
jacekowskiC++ makes memory management so painful and complicated18:26
fastajacekowski: there's 'D' too.18:26
jacekowskiand exceptions make it even worse18:26
fastajacekowski: I don't think it's painful and complicated.18:26
jacekowskibecause you would like to throw an exception18:26
fastajacekowski: how much code have you written in C++?18:26

*** mase_76 has quit IRC18:27
jacekowskifasta: simple code, create few objects and any of those can fail18:27
jacekowskias in, throw an exception18:27
jacekowskiso you have your exception handler18:28
jacekowskibut imagine cleaning up that stuff18:28
jacekowskibecause it can fail at any moment18:28
jacekowskiit may have just created 10 objects18:28
jacekowskiit might have failed after nothing was allocated18:29
jacekowskiand you have to cater for that in your cleanup code18:29
fastajacekowski: I don't really see that as a problem as there are multiple solutions to that problem.18:29
jacekowskiyes, but nothing as easy as it's done in other languages18:29
jacekowskiIMO in C++ exceptions are half assed18:30
fastajacekowski: what would be the difference with any other language according to you?18:30
fastajacekowski: e.g. in Haskell it would be just 'no memory'=> out of memory exception and you lose basically all state, AFAIK.18:30
fastajacekowski: not exactly ideal.18:31
jacekowskiin c# cleanup would be handled by gc18:31
fastaOne could also wonder what one would like to cleanup.18:31
jacekowskithing is, current implementation in C++ is just as good as no implementation in C18:31
*** VDVsx has quit IRC18:31
jacekowskiyou still have to handle everything manualy18:31
jacekowskifasta: those objects that have been allocated but are not going to be used because something failed few lines down18:32
jacekowskianyways18:32
jacekowskii'm going home18:32
freemangordonjacekowski: that is why you'd better allocate on stack ;)18:33
jacekowskistack has limited size18:33
fastafreemangordon: stacks are not infinite either.18:33
freemangordonyeah, I know that18:33
fastaI doubt many people measure exactly how much stack they use.18:33
fastaThat is, that they can give a precise upperbound on stack depth.18:34
fastaAnd, AFAIK, if you go beyond it, your C++ program will just crash.18:34
fastaOr perhaps it's 'implemented defined'.18:34
fastaEither way, it won't work everywhere.18:34
fastaI think such programming languages are rather short term sighted.18:34
fastaProgramming is nothing but managing sets of information using theorems in the end to speed up things.18:35
fastaNote that nowhere there was a 'stack' or a 'heap' mentioned here.18:35
fastaATS formalized libc preconditions and post conditions.18:36
fastaAs such, you can write a kind of OCaml with C speed.18:36
fasta(and OCaml safety)18:36
fastaIf everyone would use that, there would be no 0-day exploits, no 'security bulletins' and other nonsense.18:37
freemangordonwell, stach objects are cleaned up by the compiler in the exception handler18:37
freemangordon*stack18:37
fastaHumans seem to have this nasty habit of creating problems.18:38
fastaActually solving a problem is something they like to avoid for as long as possible.18:38
*** jhb has quit IRC18:38
freemangordonanyway, using new and malloc is bad idea, see firefox if you don't trust me :D18:38

*** sirdancealot4 has quit IRC18:39
freemangordonno18:39
fastafreemangordon: well, otherwise there is no escaping it.18:39
fastafreemangordon: because they use C libraries too.18:39

*** NIN101 has joined #maemo18:44
*** VDVsx has joined #maemo18:48

fastafreemangordon: if they have their own MM, I don't see why there still would be a problem.18:50
*** geaaru has quit IRC18:50
fastafreemangordon: because they can even track memory patterns and based on that relocate memory.18:50
fastafreemangordon: anything can be done if you control it, which they do.18:50
fastaAs such, that part of Firefox isn't stupid.18:50
fastaThere are some other part of software development @ Mozilla which are stupid, but I think they are even working on that.18:51
freemangordonfasta: still dynamic memory allocation (from heap) should be used with care, there are lots of occasions where a simple static array (or object) will perform much better than a pile of new/delete.18:51
fastafreemangordon: in fact, in all cases that will perform better.18:52
fastafreemangordon: except, the problem is that you don't want to use a gazillion GB of memory.18:52
fastafreemangordon: which is why malloc was invented in the first place.18:52
*** VDVsx has quit IRC18:53
freemangordonI didn't mean faster, that is clear, I meant better from memory management POV18:53
fastaIf you are going to program a battleship, then you do want to have everything statically allocated.18:53
freemangordonsure18:53
fastaFor a web-browser, not so much.18:53

fastafreemangordon: well, then you are per definition right :)18:56
freemangordonfasta: I have the feeling that most of the developers feel bad if the don't use dynamic allocations, most probably because of historical reasons :). i.e. if you don't use that cool new "malloc", you are old-fashined. I hope you get what I mean. The opposite for using goto ;)19:00

DocScrutinizer05I tied to be both, when I "did my time" at OM as senior EE. And both community and my boss appreciated it19:46

fastaDocScrutinizer05: i.e., you are not part of the community then, you are just a tyrant.19:48
fastaThat's the usual role which companies give themselves.19:48

DocScrutinizer05though OTOH community often approaches companies with insane demands, that no company could ever satisfy.19:50

fastajon_y: a bridge and a building are just objects which can be computed.20:11
infobotbcmm <~ben@unaffiliated/bcmm> was last seen on IRC in channel #debian, 9d 47m 4s ago, saying: 'berarma: yes, i know. i'm trying to work out what could do that'.20:12
fastajon_y: just like you can compute pretty much anythign else.20:12
jon_yI see where you're going with that20:12
fastajon_y: the work that civil engineers do is basically just applying rules all day long.20:12
fastajon_y: looking up some country specific rules is a big part of that.20:13
fastajon_y: finding numbers in tables, coming up with adhoc solutions to problems created by other human failure, etc.20:13
jon_ythat's where all the lawyering comes in right? :)20:13
fastajon_y: the lawyering comes in when someone makes a mistake.20:13
jon_y*the country specific rules20:13
fastajon_y: also the true engineers are miles ahead of the contractors.20:14
fastajon_y: it's kind of like rocket scientists explaining to a cab driver how their engine works.20:14
fastajon_y: it's just a fundamentally bad idea.20:14
jon_ycompanies prefer contractors though, since they're cheaper20:15
fastajon_y: perhaps I used the wrong word.20:15
jon_yhmm ok20:15
fastajon_y: "general contractor"20:15
fastajon_y: does that mean something different for you?20:15
jon_ywell, contractor for me means external vendor guys20:16
jon_yrather than in-house people20:16
fastajon_y: in the case of a building, a 'general contractor' is brought on.20:17
fastajon_y: his company traditionally bears all the risks.20:17
fastajon_y: for some lump sum of money to complete the job.20:17
fastajon_y: (i.e. building the building)20:18
jon_yok, the guys that actually do the building20:18
jon_yguys out in the field20:18
fastajon_y: no, the company where those guys work.20:18
jon_yok20:18
fastajon_y: they just compute how much something like that will cost, etc., bid on it and get the project.20:18
jon_yok, so far sounds familiar20:19
fastajon_y: but those guys generally are not involved all day long with details of the building they are going to create which an engineering firm does have.20:19
fastajon_y: as such, there is a large gap in knowledge between the two.20:19
jon_ythey just get the instructions right?20:20
fastajon_y: that's not really how it works these days anymore.20:20

fastajon_y: not even that all the time.20:21
jon_ypartial if more than one involved?20:21
fastajon_y: more often and often it's just a matter of saying 'we want to be able to put vehicles of this weight at this speed on that bridge, we want a 50 year warranty, now you go and build it'.20:22
jon_ythat is from the civil engineering firm?20:22
fastajon_y: slightly simplified, but more and more it's 'what', not 'how'.20:22
*** sLumPia has joined #maemo20:23
fastajon_y: no, the civil engineering firm is usually hired by the general contractor.20:23
jon_yaha, I got it backwards all this time20:23
fastajon_y: in this case, the general contractor might find during construction that some fatal design failure was in some plan.20:24
fastajon_y: this now has to be solved.20:24
fastajon_y: at that point, the general contractor wants to continue the projects ASAP, but the engineering firm has to somehow compute things correctly.20:24
fastajon_y: which for difficult problems can take a longish time.20:25
fastajon_y: but the explanations of the engineering firm might at this point go over the head of the general contractor's company.20:25
fastajon_y: because traditionally, that wasn't their job.20:25
fastajon_y: to make things worse, the engineering firm is not actually liable in many cases.20:26
fastajon_y: (which was the point I was trying to make earlier)20:26
fastajon_y: in case you were wondering where I was going.20:26
jon_yI think so20:27
jon_ysounds like a company too big to communicate effectively20:28
fastajon_y: no, the fundamental problem is not this one company.20:28
fastajon_y: the problem is that one party should be responsible for the entire construction and ideally no human thought would enter the process.20:28
fastajon_y: i.e., a compiler from two gps coordinates, a list of formal strenght requirements, to actual stepper motor actions of a collection of robots.20:29
fastajon_y: if civil engineering people had actually been problem solving they would have developed something like that.20:29
fastajon_y: but instead, they opted for some process still involving people.20:30
