OksanaTo be fair, it indexed all the images nicely, afaik, and there are much more of them. And videos are alright, too. So it's struggling with audio, only.02:37
* Oksana blames Mussorgsky's clumsy attempts at modifying album art02:37

SiceloOksana: yes, i didn't like Mussorgsky's results06:46
Sicelowhat you can do is tracker-processes -k (kills tracker without removing databases). short while later, do tracker-stats ... this seems to "remind" tracker to index. good luck06:47

MaxdamantusI saw it on the news this mroin.12:28
OksanaaBy the way, tracker selectively avoided all ogg-and-flac files, so it is not random - it's tracker-extractor-vorbis broken by strange files somehow12:29
SiceloOksanaa: why you like tracker?12:36
Sicelonot saying you should not .. but 'everyone' hates it12:36
OksanaaBecause it knows everything? I do not want to organize everything myself. Especially when metadata can store lots of info which does not translate well to filepaths12:44

jonwilanyone here know anything about wpa_supplicant?12:50
SiceloOksanaa: :)12:51
Sicelofyi, i'm not in the 'everyone' above12:51
Maxdamantusjonwil: what about it?12:51
MaxdamantusWhether it works on the N900? Yes.12:51
jonwilthere was a discussion going on the other day about using it to replace the N900 WiFi subsystem and plugging it into everything12:52
MaxdamantusI'd like to do that when I get around to freeing myself from the rest of Maemo.12:52
jonwilWhat are you doing about the tricky stuff like pulseaudio and the cellular bits?12:53
MaxdamantusI'm not doing much about it atm .. "when I get around to .."12:54
jonwildo you have any plans?12:54
MaxdamantusWait until another N900 appears on trademe so I can experiment with a device other than my main phone.12:55
jonwilI cant imagine there are that many N900s floating around in New Zealand...12:56
Maxdamantusbut I'd ultimately probably try to avoid pulseaudio other than for telephony if that's required.12:56
Maxdamantus(and just create a small number of alsa devices for specific things)12:56
jonwilpulseaudio is necessary for proper operation of the N900 audio system in all sorts of funky ways12:57
MaxdamantusI think there are basically two funky ways.12:57
Maxdamantusone is telephony, the other is avoiding blowing the speakers.12:57
MaxdamantusI imagine avoiding blowing the speakers is possible through a mixer in alsa.12:58
Maxdamantusatm pulseaudio just goes through alsa, as usual.12:58
jonwilbased on my analysis of the PulseAudio blobs, there are several reasons they exist. One is the speaker protection, one is feeding audio to the cellular modem and then the rest of it is mostly a bunch of sophisticated algorithms to make the audio sound much better12:59
Maxdamantusexcept for telephony, because there are some crazy proprietary plugins for that that don't use alsa.12:59
MaxdamantusSpeaking of sound, just made a pretty cool-feeling epoxy-based angle connector.13:00
Maxdamantus(because you need something like that on the N900)13:00
* Maxdamantus just hopes it isn't destroyed somehow as it cures.13:01
jonwilI can tell you that no you will not be able to deal with the speaker protection just by going through alsa13:01
Maxdamantus"just by going through alsa"13:01
Maxdamantusoutputting to the hw device itself, no.13:01
Maxdamantusbut I imagine you could add a mixer in the middle that would do the sort of capping pulseaudio does.13:02
Maxdamantus(just using alsa)13:02
jonwilIts not that simple, trust me (says the guy who has been knee deep inside the nokia pulseaudio blobs many times)13:03
jonwilAlso even if you ignore cellular telephony and speaker protection, feeding audio through the speakers unprocessed would probably sound like crap13:03
jonwilsince you wont get all the nice stuff the Nokia blobs do to make the audio sound good on such crappy speakers as the N900 has13:04
MaxdamantusI wouldn't be particularly concerned about that anyway tbh13:04
MaxdamantusI don't really expect decent quality listening to speakers.13:04
jonwilNot just speakers but all audio output13:04
jonwilincluding both wired and wireless earphones13:05
jonwilAs the closest thing this community has to an expert on the nokia pulseaudio blobs, I can say that trying to replace them (and reinvent the wheel) is not worth the effort13:05
MaxdamantusWell, they can't really make wireless earphones sound "better".13:05
Maxdamantusunless they make assumptions about what "better" is.13:06
Maxdamantusyou should be able to send the PCM desired by the audio author over Bluetooth.13:06
jonwilwell I know it does something to bluetooth audio (and to FM radio too) but I dont know what13:07
Maxdamantusmaybe there are hardware issues regarding the DAC attached to the audio plug.13:07
Maxdamantusif it does something to the Bluetooth audio, I'm inclined not to trust it.13:07
Maxdamantusat least, not to trust that it does something useful.13:07
jonwilas for wpa_supplicant, how would all the UI for it be handled, i.e. the UI for connecting to networks, inputting passwords for password protected networks etc?13:08
jonwilDoes wpa_supplicant do that or would we need something new for it?13:08
Maxdamantuswpa_supplicant usually comes with wpa_gui, which works.13:08
MaxdamantusIt's a bit fiddly on the N900 though ime13:08
MaxdamantusI'd probably just rely on invoking shell scripts.13:09
Maxdamantus(fiddly because it's not designed for a touchscreen)13:09

* Maxdamantus is currently listening to music through alsa directly.13:19
jonwilgetting wpa_supplicant to work is much easier than making all the bits that talk to the existing WiFi subsystem talk to the new WiFi subsystem13:22
*** louis_ has quit IRC13:22
MaxdamantusI don't think there are really many bits that talk to the "WiFi subsystem"13:23
Maxdamantusthere's basically just the DNS server that asks to connect if something tries to do a lookup through it and it's not already connected.13:24
Maxdamantusotherwise I don't think anything really cares.13:24
jonwilyou would be surprised, there are a few things that care13:28
MaxdamantusLike what?13:28
jonwilwell for starters it depends if you are replacing icd2 completly or whether you just rip out the WiFi bits and write new ICD2 plugins that use wpa_supplicant to do their work13:30
jonwilbut there are also a few things tied into the connectivity UI that might get in the way a little13:31
jonwilespecially if you want/need to keep the GPRS bits unchanged and just deal with the WiFi bits13:31
MaxdamantusI'd just avoid using it for connecting to WiFi.13:32
jonwilavoid using what? ICD2?13:33
MaxdamantusYes.13:33
jonwilits not that simple either, lots of things are tied into ICD213:33
MaxdamantusLike what?13:33
jonwilchecking now13:33
MaxdamantusIf they are, they shouldn't be.13:33
MaxdamantusIt should really only affect configuration things.13:34
Maxdamantuseg, the effects of changing networking options in the settings menu.13:34
*** ecloud_ is now known as ecloud_wfh13:34
jonwilok so even if we ignore connui-* (connectivity UI bits), I can see intellisyncd talking to icd2 over dbus13:35
MaxdamantusWhen things trigger the connection dialogue to pop up, that's just the DNS server responding. You avoid that by not using whatever the system that creates /etc/resolv.conf is.13:35
jonwillibconic as well13:35
jonwillibconninet13:35
Maxdamantus(and use a normal DHCP client that creates it, like dhcpcd or dhclient)13:35
jonwillibhildonfm uses it for some reason13:36
jonwil.libqicdbearer wants it13:36
jonwilas does libqtbearer13:36
jonwiland libqtnetwork13:36
jonwiland libqtsysteminfo13:36
MaxdamantusAre you just looking at this through ldd?13:36
jonwiloh and wappushd13:36
Maxdamantusldd is transitive.13:36
jonwilno, this is stuff talking to it via dbus13:37
Maxdamantus"libqtnetwork" is talking to it?13:37
jonwilI am grepping a local copy of the N900 root filesystem for anything with the string "com.nokia.icd"13:37
jonwilto see anything that might be talking to icd2 via dbus13:37
jonwilI think a few of these are just talking to it for status reasons13:37
jonwili.e. they are listening for a "hey, network status has changed13:37
jonwilsignal13:38
Maxdamantusmight be talking, or happens to include some particular string in its compiled code?13:38
MaxdamantusI think those things are completely different.13:38
jonwilthese binaries also include the string /com/nokia/icd (for the dbus path) and in most cases the name of one or more methods/signals I know are on that dbus interface13:39
*** mvaenskae has quit IRC13:40
jonwilI have been pulling N900 binaries apart for long enough to know how to tell which binaries are talking to which dbus interfaces :)13:40
jonwilThat said a lot of what talks to ICD2 is foss (e.g. all the QT stuff0 and the few bits that aren't can probably be handled somehow13:41
MaxdamantusAnd since they're libraries, they probably just have methods that applications *CAN* use, but don't necessarily.13:41
Maxdamantuseg, that libqtnetwork sounds like an extension of something from QT itself.13:42
Maxdamantusso there are probably plain QT programs that naturally use that but not the specific Maemo functionality to do with WiFi.13:42
jonwilanyhow, auditing who talks to what in the way of dbus stuff, gconf stuff and other things is what I have been doing and will be doing (see http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=96108 for the start of that)13:42
MaxdamantusPractically, I don't think most of it would affect me.13:43
jonwilprobably not13:43
jonwilbut in this case I am thinking from the perspective of replacing the wifi subsystem with wpa_supplicant going forward for maemo in general (i.e. cssu)13:43
MaxdamantusI just use a few basic things and hack things away when they prevent me from doing things the way I want to.13:43
*** arteta has quit IRC13:44
jonwilsince that has all sorts of positives13:44

OksanaaTracker is quite broken somewhere. I hide all ogg files except one, and it still refuses to index it22:03
KotCzarnymaybe it doesnt know about ogg format22:04
OksanaaWell, I have to purge-and-install-again ogg-support, then. Media player plays it, but tracker does not index it22:08
