arvuthi! is this channel still alive?11:02
arvutanyway, has anyone successfully remapped keys (physical as well as xkb) to a dvorak layout on the n900?11:02
arvutI feel it needs to be done on my n90011:03
sixwheeledbeastarvut: yes it's alive11:03
arvutI found a post about the xkb part, but I'm not so sure if the physical keys are modifiable11:03
arvutsixwheeledbeast: =)11:04
arvutsixwheeledbeast: any development on maemo these days?11:04
sixwheeledbeastarvut: yes. #maemo-ssu and #neo90011:06
sixwheeledbeast~fptf11:06
infobotextra, extra, read all about it, fptf is the Fremantle Porting Task Force, see http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=9130811:06
sixwheeledbeast~cssu11:06
infoboti heard cssu is http://wiki.maemo.org/Community_SSU, or (Community Seamless Software Update)11:06
sixwheeledbeastarvut: http://wiki.maemo.org/Remapping_keyboard11:07
arvuthaha I like that name, fremantle porting taskforce :P11:07
drathirmornin...11:10
arvutsixwheeledbeast: still doesn't explain/confirm if the physical keys are move'able or not. I wanna build a dvorak layout on the qwerty keyboard that the device was shipped with11:10
arvutdrathir: morning!11:10
drathirarvut: if good remember is full remap of keys available...11:12
* drathir now also have diff keys behaviour in fresh one n900 and old one...11:12
sixwheeledbeastarvut: AFAIK it is all one sheet, there are different versions depending on region but not dvorak11:13
arvutwell, I have all the keys I need for a pretty solid dvorak variant (swedish in my case) but if I can't detach the keys and move them then thats worthless11:13
arvutsixwheeledbeast: meh.. there goes my grand plans I guess11:14
arvutdoes sailfishOS install on the n900 btw?11:14
arvutprobably wrong place to ask, but someone in here might have tried it =)11:15
sixwheeledbeastit's not like a standard kbd where you can pull the button off and move them.11:15
arvutsixwheeledbeast: yeah, probably not11:15
arvutwould be smashing if you could tho, but i guess it would have been broken too easily if it were.11:15
sixwheeledbeastarvut: possibly, but still parts of Maemo are closed so not all will work, call-ui etc etc11:15
arvutI used to run irssi quite a lot on my n900, typed massive amounts of text11:16
arvutright11:16
sixwheeledbeastN900 was designed for and with Maemo so this is the best OS for it IMHO.11:17
arvutyeah but it works as a tablet for other distros, there is even a guy who has successfully installed gentoo on it :P11:17
arvutwhich is my main desktop distro11:17
*** arcean has joined #maemo11:19
sixwheeledbeastI don't see the point of a "tablet" myself. I have N900 and desktop cba with anything inbetween with less usability than either.11:20
arvutI don't use my n900 for phone-functions nowadays anyway, thats what my n9 is for (and it has such a horrible batterylife nowadays so I'm considering getting some newer hardware that has replaceable battery)11:23
arvutjolla and fairphone are options atm11:26
bencohmornin'11:30
bencoharvut: you can remap your keys11:31
bencohsee rx-51 somewhere in X11 conf11:31

*** arcean has quit IRC11:39
*** japa-fi has joined #maemo11:42
arvutbencoh: yeah, found out how to do that but not the actual physical keyboard remapping, as sixwheeledbeast mentioned, its all in one sheet11:43
arvutso remapping to dvorak while still using qwerty layout would confuse things11:43
bencohoh well11:45
bencohI'm using qwertyish mapping on a qwertz keyboard with special chars remapped11:46
bencohso it's usable11:46

hurrianoh no14:50
antranigvyupp14:50
keriowell at least you have *some* working system then14:50
hurrianantranigv: boot Android, install a terminal emulator, then set /bin/sh back to ash14:51
keriocan you get to the menu?14:51
antranigvit's just busybox problem, edited a file14:51
antranigvno I can't14:51
antranigvandroid is not installed :(14:51
kerio"just a"14:51
keriowell14:51
kerioif you can't get a running system, you're fucked14:51
antranigvwhat about RescuOS ?14:51
keriois it installed?14:52
keriodo you have a working usb port?14:52
antranigvI can just fix the USB port and then reflash it14:52
kerioif the answer to both questions is "no", then you're still fucked14:52
keriooh of course14:52
kerio~usbfix14:52
infobotit has been said that usbfix is http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=75920 - and **NEVER** use epoxy (unless you want to seal your device for underwater), or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYz5nIHH0iY#t=1866, you will basically need two irons: a small good one (or better hot-air reflow) and a 60+ Watt14:52
antranigvkerio: where can I find the reflasher for GNU ?14:54
antranigvand the rootfs I think ?14:54
kerio~0xffff14:54
infobot[0xffff] https://gitorious.org/0xffff/, or http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=8799614:54
kerio~pr13114:54
infobotextra, extra, read all about it, combined is the rootfs fiasco image of maemo. For N900 latest (PR1.3.1) see http://nds2.fds-fire.nokia.com/fdp/interface/FiRe/2011/9/--FID--A0A22MVWFVFAM/--LID--FiRe1317015685654/RX-51_2009SE_21.2011.38-1_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin, or http://galif.eu/nokia/14:54
kerioi recommend Pali's 0xffff14:54
*** e2718 has joined #maemo14:56
antranigvkerio: so first I should fix the USB14:56
kerioif you can, yes14:57
antranigvthen flash rescue OS to change the file14:57
antranigvcool14:57
keriowith a working usb port there's pretty much nothing you can do to render your n900 unoperable14:57
keriolike, software-wise14:57
antranigvto bad here in Europe you cant find fixers,14:57
kerioyou don't flash rescueOS, you load it14:58
antranigvahh :D can the 0xFFFF do that ?14:59
kerioyes14:59
antranigvI love community based phones B| now I need to buy Jolla :D15:00
keriojolla is about as "community" as a samsung galaxy, really15:00
antranigvreally ?15:01
antranigvwow15:01
keriothat's what i gathered, at least15:01
antranigvbut N900's community was/is the best15:01
keriosailfish is still not a linux desktop OS :c15:01
antranigvshould be ? )) but the N900 is some kind of desktop OS15:02

antranigvanyone knows anyone in the Neterlands who can fix my USB port ? :(15:09
*** crope has quit IRC15:09
*** crope has joined #maemo15:09
keriomeh, if you really want a slightly more recent n900, there's the neo900 project15:09
antranigvcan we buy the Neo900 ? they are not out yet I think15:10
keriowell, it's not even going to run anything as soon as it's out15:10
keriohopefully it won't take much for fptf to release something that works, tho15:10
Luke-JrI'm currently leaning toward the Pyra myself15:11
keriobut it's a console15:13
kerioafaik the omap5 is not that good for phones15:13
keriodue to dubious design choices15:13
Luke-Jrif people wanted phones, they wouldn't be interested in N900 either15:14
kerioi was interested in the n900 because it's a desktop linux that also works really well as a phone15:14

bencohanyway maemo isnt that good ... it's leaky and half of it is still closed-source ... and jolla is basically a qualcomm "spy" ... I really dont see why you'd want those together15:59
*** shentey has joined #maemo16:01
Wikiwidebencoh: Have you heard about Fremantle Porting Task Force ? They are basically reverse-engineering closed-source bits so that Maemo 5 would be portable, working and open-source.16:01
*** jonwil has quit IRC16:03
WikiwideAnd, memory leaks are being fixed. MCE is wholly Reverse-Engineered, for example, and better than stock :)16:04
keriobme has an opensource in-kernel alternative that works better than bme_rx5116:04

stryngsIm building 2.24 as we speak19:39
stryngsBut, thank you for the heads up =)19:39
*** cuda has quit IRC19:40
freemangordonstryngs: for SB?19:40
stryngsnope, directly on my n90019:40
stryngsI don't use sb19:40
stryngsi make my own debs too =), just not the conventional way19:40
freemangordon:)19:41
*** FlameReaper-PC has quit IRC19:41
stryngsDo you use SB freemangordon ?19:42
stryngsIf so, why not just directly build on the n900?19:42
Sc0rpiusbecause it is VERY SLOW19:43
stryngsOverclock, it works fine Sc0rpius =)19:43
Sc0rpiuseven so, building in the N900 takes several minutes19:43
Sc0rpiusand building in your Linux PC takes seconds19:44
Sc0rpiuswell also I guess you're just building19:44
Sc0rpiusbut if you're developing directly in the N900, now that's gonna hurt :P19:44
stryngsSc0rpius: Does the n900 allow you to build a .deb in the local environment?19:44
stryngsall the dpkg tools are for the SB, which sucks =(19:45
freemangordonstryngs: imagine you have to build Qt or gecko19:46
*** b1101 has joined #maemo19:46
freemangordonor openssl, or...19:46
Sc0rpiusI think the tools are available for the N900 and you can run dpkg-buildpackage in the N90019:46
Sc0rpiusbut it's just ... insane19:46
Sc0rpiusQt would take days, literally :)19:47
Sc0rpiusyou know I have a Raspberry Pi19:47
Sc0rpiusand it has the same CPU than a N90019:47
freemangordonhmm, no19:47
Sc0rpiuswell it's pretty similar19:47
freemangordonit is arm11 iirc19:47
freemangordonbut teah, pretty similar performance19:48
freemangordon*yeah19:48
Sc0rpiusit's an ARM11 yes 700 MHz19:48
Sc0rpiuspretty similar to the N90019:48
Sc0rpiusbuilding XBMC took a whole day19:48
Sc0rpiusnow I just grab the .deb19:48
Sc0rpiusactually the Raspberry Pi CPU is a little faster ;)19:49
bencohscratchbox can be a pain sometimes but it's still faster than native build19:51

gogogogohello everybody22:45
gogogogoI have a strange thing to ask you.. my n900 isn't receiving texts from Windows phones when they use emoticons22:46
gogogogoI get all the others, what do you think?22:46
*** bef0rd has quit IRC22:47
*** erlehmann has joined #maemo22:48
gogogogoeven texts from those phones as long as they don't use emoticons22:48
*** beford has joined #maemo22:48
Sc0rpiuswhat do you receive instead?22:50
Sc0rpiusor you just don't receive anything?22:50
Sc0rpiusWindows Phone emoticons as long as I know are just Unicode characters, you should at least see some blocks in the text since in the N900 they are invalid characters22:50
*** b1101 has joined #maemo22:51
*** b1101 has joined #maemo22:51
gogogogommm22:51
gogogogoI receive the plain unicode punctuation emoticons22:51
gogogogobut all the others just don't get to my inbox22:52
gogogogothose phones have little whats'app-like thingies..22:52
Sc0rpiusI know22:52
Sc0rpiusbut what I'm asking is22:52
Sc0rpiusare you not receiving the emoticons or are you not receiving the whole SMS message?22:53
Sc0rpius(are we talking about SMS right?)22:53
gogogogoyes, SMS22:53
gogogogoI don't receive the whole SMS, as if it had never been sent22:53
Sc0rpiusoh so the whole SMS is lost22:53
gogogogoyes, incredibly22:53
Sc0rpiuswell22:53
Sc0rpiusI wonder if when you add an emoticon in a Windows Phone the messages it turned from SMS to MMS22:54
Sc0rpiusif that's the case, you need to install an MMS software in the N900 to receive it22:54
gogogogothat's what I thought too22:54
Sc0rpiusN900 can't receive MMS natively22:55
gogogogoI should check it out by monitoring the credit charges22:55
Sc0rpiusso try installing fMMS22:55
gogogogoI found out today I can't get MMS ;) this means I can absolutely do without22:55
Sc0rpiusyou can get MMS, you just need an app for that22:56
gogogogobut that's incredible that the community was able to add such a feature. Maemo is my idea of technology.22:56
gogogogoanyway, I'll have to check the charges per each sms/mms22:56
gogogogoto realize if they ship as pictures or unicode characters to be replaced with a pic22:57
gogogogodo you agree?22:57
Sc0rpiusyeah I guess22:59
