KotCzarny~remap08:47
KotCzarnyhmm08:48
KotCzarny~ping08:48
infobot~pong08:48
KotCzarny~keyremap08:48
infobotrumour has it, keyremap is http://wiki.maemo.org/Remapping_keyboard08:48
KotCzarnyahm, you mean bluetooth08:48
KotCzarnyalso, he left08:48
KotCzarnyalso, good morning08:48
Vajbpity that he left08:51
Vajbi could have solved his problem probably08:52
* Vajb meant Gear and bluemaemo keyb problem08:53
Vajboh yes, also good morning08:53
Vajbppl should realise that this is just irc not helpdesk. Although one has to queue for helpdesk call too.08:57
KotCzarnysome channels have nice info in topic about that09:01
KotCzarnyi think #alsa is one09:01
KotCzarnynope09:02
KotCzarny~ask09:02
infobotQuestions in the channel should be specific, informative, complete, concise, and on-topic.  Don't ask if you can ask a question first.  Don't ask if a person is there; just ask what you intended to ask them.  Better questions more frequently yield better answers.  We are all here voluntarily or against our will.09:02
KotCzarnythere should be also note about long waiting time09:03
Vajbhmm one way could be to pop up with question and then read the logs if there was answer later09:03
KotCzarnyassuming one realises there are public logs09:04
Vajb"we proses your request as as we feel like"09:04
Vajbeh09:04
Vajbas soon as we...09:04
Vajblets just assume they do, for my thought sake :)09:05
KotCzarnynooope. :)09:05
Vajb:P09:05
KotCzarnyremember that many questions are already answered on wiki/talk09:06
KotCzarnyand if people cant google the answers, you think they would google the logs?09:06
Vajbwell if one can't google...09:06
KotCzarnyis there such person?09:07
Vajbi think they r growing breed09:07
Vajbif it's not on your facebook newsfeed then it can't be found09:08
KotCzarnyyeah, illiteracy is coming quick, communication in pictograms is on top again09:08
Vajbyup09:08
Vajbi guess egyptians had it all figured out and then someone just went berserk and invented letters09:09
KotCzarnyi wonder what was the level of understanding those pictograms in their times09:09
* Vajb woders when we start building first pyramid of new era09:09
KotCzarnyie. if regular person was able to read them09:09
KotCzarnyvajb: we do, they are called skyscrapers now09:10
Vajboh i thought of pyramid freuds09:10
Vajbscams09:10
Vajbhow ever it's spelled09:10
KotCzarnyfraud09:11
Vajbi doubt that slaves had energy to try reading after work09:11
KotCzarnybut pyramids werent fraud, they were monuments for their notables09:11
Vajboh yes thx!09:11
Vajbi meant modern pyramid frauds09:11
Vajblike wincapita09:12
KotCzarnyahm, its called pyramid scheme09:12
Vajboh09:12
KotCzarnyhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyramid_scheme09:12
Vajbjust did literal translation from my native :)09:12
Vajbbut anyway these are the pyramids of our time09:13
KotCzarnyhow i love random library breakups09:20
KotCzarnyi've changed something in oscp not related to zziplib and now i get zziplib segfaults according to gdb09:20
Vajbi forgot the golden rule09:26
Vajb"don't fix it, if it's not broken"09:26
*** jon_y has quit IRC09:26
Vajbhmm meant you not me...09:26
KotCzarnyi was adding features to oscp09:26
Vajb:)09:26
KotCzarnyand i didnt touch zzip related functions09:27
KotCzarnyand as i said, it segfaults in zziplib not in oscp09:27
KotCzarnyhttp://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=dXKDZtMd09:28
Vajbit is some sort of program meridian09:28
Vajbas in acupncture09:28
KotCzarnylast oscp function is #3, 2 is zziplib, 1 is libz and 0 is libc09:28
Maxdamantusadding features is a sure way to make it harder to ensure correctness.09:28
Maxdamantus`rm -rf *` will remove all bugs.09:29
Vajbhmm about features i remember reading the princible of linux programs09:29
KotCzarnybut will leave you with 1 big one bug09:29
KotCzarny'system is unusable'09:29
Vajb"make them do one thing, but just better than anyone"09:29
Maxdamantuslinux or unix?09:29
KotCzarnyunix09:29
KotCzarnybut linux adopted that philosophy too09:29
MaxdamantusThat's not the unix one.09:29
Maxdamantusunix is make things that do single things, well.09:30
KotCzarny:)09:30
KotCzarnysimilar09:30
Vajbmaybe i just phrase it incorrectly09:30
KotCzarnyand could be lost in translation09:30
KotCzarnyhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_philosophy#Do_One_Thing_and_Do_It_Well09:30
MaxdamantusMaybe.09:30
KotCzarnyDOTADIW09:30
Maxdamantusbut TIMTOWTDI.09:31
Vajbylm09:31
Vajbyou lost me09:31
KotCzarny~google TIMTOWTDI09:31
KotCzarny~g TIMTOWTDI09:31
KotCzarny~wiki TIMTOWTDI09:31
infobotAt https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TIMTOWTDI (URL), Wikipedia explains: "'There's more than one way to do it' ('TMTOWTDI' or 'TIMTOWTDI', pronounced "Tim Toady") is a Perl programming motto. The language was designed with this idea in mind, in that it “doesn't try to tell the programmer how to program.” As proponents of this motto argue, this philosophy makes it easy to write concise statements like print if 1..3 or /match/ or the more trad09:31
KotCzarnyand yes, in *nix you can do things in many ways09:32
Humpelstilzchenthere is only one true linux way, the systemd one09:33
Maxdamantusactually, at a high level there aren't too many ways to do it.09:33
Maxdamantuswell, that is.09:33
KotCzarnydefine high level09:33
KotCzarnyawk/sed or higher?09:34
MaxdamantusAt a level involving user interaction or reasoning.09:34
Maxdamantus(reasoning being important for making things work in alternative ways, like over a network)09:34
*** hubutm20 has quit IRC09:34
*** discopig has quit IRC09:34
KotCzarnydefine user09:35
KotCzarnyis hacker an user?09:35
MaxdamantusYes.09:35
KotCzarnythen there are many ways09:35
Maxdamantusa user.09:35
KotCzarnyan09:35
KotCzarnyyou use an before consonants or whatever its called (aeouiy)09:35
*** discopig has joined #maemo09:35
KotCzarnybut might be additional rules for that too09:36
KotCzarnyhttps://www.quora.com/Is-it-an-user-or-a-user09:37
KotCzarnyyou are right in this case, a user09:37
Vajbi get it now09:38
Vajbit could sarcastic comment also "oh you did it like that"09:38
Vajbcould be*09:38
KotCzarnydrat09:43
KotCzarnyim baffled, cant see where is the culprit of the segv09:44
MaxdamantusYou generally use "an" before vowels, but it doesn't have much to do with letters.09:45
KotCzarnyyeah, but its the actual sound that matters09:45
Maxdamantusyes, not the letter.09:45
Maxdamantus"user" starts with a semivowel, not a vowel.09:45
KotCzarnyenglish is broken by design09:45
KotCzarnyzziplib opens the archive, finds the file, and fails on extraction09:46
MaxdamantusMusic players shouldn't mess with zip files.09:47
MaxdamantusThe user should mount the zip file as a read-only filesystem.09:47
KotCzarnyunless compressing .mod files save 40-60% of the space09:47
KotCzarnyand unless you prefer 1 file instead of few thousands09:48
MaxdamantusWhat's the difference?09:48
KotCzarnyand zziplib has nice open() wrappers09:48
MaxdamantusYou have thousands of files inside the zip file.09:49
MaxdamantusSo does fuse-zip.09:49
Maxdamantuswith that, you use exactly the same open() function to access the files.09:49
KotCzarnyyes, but requires user to install fuse-zip and mount things09:50
KotCzarnywith zziplib you just open archives as regular dirs09:50
KotCzarnyand you usuall dont need those .mods for anything other than music player09:50
MaxdamantusDoes it also let you open squashfs filesystems, or do you still need to mount those?\09:50
KotCzarny*usually09:50
KotCzarnyi dont use squashfs09:50
Maxdamantusi dont use zip09:51
KotCzarnypeople on internet do09:51
KotCzarnymost zip archives are zips09:51
MaxdamantusIf I want to compress a directory, I'll use squashfs.09:51
KotCzarnys/zip/mod/09:51
infobotKotCzarny meant: most mod archives are zips09:51
KotCzarnymc can enter zips, but cant enter swuashfs (without adding a helper)09:52
Maxdamantus(compress a directory (or file even) so that it can be randomly accessed)09:52
MaxdamantusYeah, mc is a bit silly.09:52
KotCzarnywindows can use zips, but hardly squashfs09:52
MaxdamantusThat's what happens when you create software that has all these features.09:52
MaxdamantusIt becomes difficult to do things it wasn't designed specifically to do.09:53
KotCzarnystill, i wrote a player that will do things other won't, and its mainly for me (but i shared the product in case some other people would have similar need)09:54

sixwheeledbeast^google will have to adapt to search for what you are thinking, a scary thought.10:01
KotCzarnyswb: isnt it what it does actually?10:01
KotCzarnyie. search history10:02
sixwheeledbeast^without any physical input10:02
KotCzarnytoo many thoughts10:02
KotCzarnyand much worse in case of the women10:02
KotCzarnythey think about multiple topics at the same time10:02
MaxdamantusSounds like me.10:03
KotCzarnymaxd, but the differnce being men can become 'empty boxes' ie. stop thinking and just relax, women cant10:03
KotCzarnythey have unending buzz in their heads10:03
MaxdamantusThat just sounds sexist.10:04
KotCzarnynope, thats psychology10:04
sixwheeledbeast^Well maybe an option to select which thoughts, so the contains of your mind aren't tracked all over the net.10:04
MaxdamantusLike how men are just overly violent.10:05
MaxdamantusJust psychology, meh.10:05
sixwheeledbeast^I haven't relaxed in 8 years or so, haven't the time10:05
KotCzarnynope, that's physiology10:05
KotCzarny(hormones etc)10:05

*** _rd has joined #maemo10:52
KotCzarnyhmm, code snippet cut out of the program works standalone10:57
*** Vajb has joined #maemo10:59
*** _rd has quit IRC11:17
MaxdamantusMight as well use it standalone then.11:19
KotCzarnyno, it means there is a bug in my code, and proper way is to find that bug11:19
MaxdamantusBut it works outside, so might as well keep it there.11:22
Maxdamantusalso makes dependencies easier to deal with.11:22
KotCzarnyoscp has almost no dependencies11:22
Maxdamantusmeans your program doesn't even depend on things like zziplib or whatever.11:22
KotCzarnyhttp://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=dRNn4VPU11:23
MaxdamantusDo you load things using dlopen directly?11:26
KotCzarnynope11:26
MaxdamantusWhat does it use to decode certain audio formats?11:27
KotCzarnyhttp://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=SCm1t8D111:28
MaxdamantusSo how does it invoke functions from libav?11:29
KotCzarnystatic libs11:29
KotCzarnyls -l oscp11:29
KotCzarny-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 5607056 Oct 31 10:29 oscp11:29
MaxdamantusAh, so you're basically just hiding the dependencies from ldd11:30
KotCzarnyand 2/3 of that is song lengths db11:30
KotCzarnynope11:30
KotCzarnynot hiding, its not loading anything from the os apart system libs11:30
*** xorly has joined #maemo11:31
MaxdamantusYes, so the dependencies are just not handled by the dynamic loader.11:31
MaxdamantusThey still exist.11:31
KotCzarnydependncies are handled by builder, user doesnt care (and doesnt have to resolve any deps)11:32
Sicelolol11:32
MaxdamantusUsers sometimes have to care.11:32
KotCzarnysure, and thats how debian got into dependency hell11:32
KotCzarnylibs depending on tens of other libs 'just in case someone might need that tiny feature'11:33
MaxdamantusI had to compile kiwix-serve on my N900 when I was in the middle of nowhere because their static ARM binaries were too big to download over my limited GPRS connection.11:33
Maxdamantusand because the bash script I wrote instead was too slow and wasteful.11:33
KotCzarnyi guess if i had to include all those libs as system dependencies it would be much bigger download than 5megs11:39
MaxdamantusNot if they're already likely to be installed.11:40
KotCzarnyunlikely11:40
Maxdamantuslibav?11:40
KotCzarnynot available (only old libav-mini 0.7 in extras-devel)11:41
Maxdamantusby libav I mean libavcodec, not necessarily the "libav" project.11:42
Maxdamantushm, or was the project called avlib? can't remember.11:42
KotCzarnyhttp://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel/pool/fremantle/free/liba/libav-mini/11:42
*** pcfe has quit IRC11:43
KotCzarnyits missing libavformat apparently (or it could be included in avcoded at that time)11:43
* Maxdamantus somehow has libavcodec52-4:0.5+svn20090706-5 in Maemo.11:43
KotCzarny2009 is old11:43
MaxdamantusYes, that's an issue with Maemo.11:43
*** pcfe has joined #maemo11:43
*** pcfe has quit IRC11:44
*** pcfe has joined #maemo11:44
MaxdamantusThat's basically another case of this stupid dependency crap.11:44
MaxdamantusIt's not based on a well-supported system like Debian.11:44
KotCzarnyso, you see now why i chose to include libs statically?11:44
KotCzarnyi wouldnt mind if the system was up to date11:44
KotCzarnybut now, i can have recent libs on my n90011:45
KotCzarnyand i use only oscp as an audio player, so i dont really need all those libs in the system anyway11:45

mvaenskaeMaxdamantus: there is no single source available as is usally the case?12:08
mvaenskaei am writing an article for my lecture on open source mobiles and thought about including maemo as it is quite different from all other mobile OSes and i still have my n900 (albeit it has been gone unused for quite some time :/)12:10
MaxdamantusThere's https://web.archive.org/web/20141228121417/https://maemo.gitorious.org/maemo-af at least, but you probably can't access most of the code there.12:14

KotCzarnyyou didnt answer13:28
mvaenskaei do listen to music, not right now though; yes i did already have an mpd-server running connecting via reverse-ssh to it and have the n900 play music via the internet streamed from my own machine if that is what you are after ;)13:29
mvaenskaeon a side-note, what parts of maemo 5 have not been developed by nokia but another party and are part of the flashables? :)13:30
KotCzarnywell, i was going to advertise my player to you (it has ncurses local interface and networked controller. also works both on pc linux and n900, so one could start core on one and control from another)13:30

mvaenskaewhat is the network-controller part about on the player? :)13:33
KotCzarnyi guess you can grep changelogs from source packages13:36
mvaenskaehow does hildon factor into maemo? i never wondered up until now who developed that part13:37
KotCzarnymvaenskae: core can open listening connection where anything can connect to it (telnet, some script, gui) and issue commands as LOAD2 file, STOP, PAUSE etc13:37

buZzmvaenskae: probably a lot better than if google stopped developing android ;)14:06
sixwheeledbeast^since then well eV? and other politics has happened. Too complex to keep on top of with little time.14:06

mvaenskaebuZz: i see google's android (which i shall call googledroid henceforth) as a double-edged sword; sure, it's nice having a software-giant flex its muscles and employ great devs to create a nice system, but they are still an ad-company :/14:13
mvaenskaei have a feeling as if android is more and more becoming ios like14:14
mvaenskaei really miss maemo :(14:14
buZzmvaenskae: imho its just proprietary14:14
mvaenskaei just wish there was more up to date hardware for maemo14:14
buZzneo900?14:14
mvaenskaethat is affordable :/14:14
buZzah :)14:14
mvaenskaei cannot invest that much into the neo900 sadly as much as i wished :(14:14
mvaenskaeit will eat too much of a hole into my finances :(14:15
buZzah well, who needs money14:15
buZz:P14:15
KotCzarnyum, if you dont need www browser, n900 can do pretty much14:15
KotCzarny(well, it can even do www browsing, you just have to disable mem cache)14:15
mvaenskaethe browser has become more and more important to me as i usually look stuff up while i am on the go and want to read up on some of the stuff that spins in my head :)14:16
KotCzarnyanything less than ~7" is too small for comfortable web browsing imo14:17
mvaenskaei will likely start my n900 again this winter and see to having it set up properly14:17
KotCzarnymvaenskae: n900 is a very nice linux phone14:17
mvaenskaei can browse on my current phone the web decently14:17
buZzi have good eyesight, so 5" is fine for me14:18
buZzhell, even 3" works well for webbrowsing14:18
mvaenskaenexus 5 that is; it does outperform the n900 in a lot of fields except for openness and the n900 suits my ideology much more14:18
mvaenskaethat's why i'll give it another go; i just gotta find somewhere a new battery for it14:19
mvaenskaeand get my soldering up on par; i have a feeling the "bios battery" (iirc that's a supercap) is dead D:14:22

mvaenskaeerm, how do you guys flash maemo if libusb for flasher is missing?17:33
KotCzarnycopy libusb from any other distro?17:35
mvaenskaeit's a shared lib and quite old17:35
mvaenskae./flasher-3.5: error while loading shared libraries: libusb-0.1.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory17:36
mvaenskaei wonder which libusb i can throw at it with dirty-linking17:36
mvaenskaemeh, invalid elf-header when linking...17:37
KotCzarnylibusb017:38
KotCzarnyin debian17:38
KotCzarny32bit17:38
mvaenskaei assume it's the libusb-compat packet within gentoo17:39
mvaenskaeseems like there is really a need for a new battery17:50
mvaenskaeconstant orange light was what signal again while charging?17:50
KotCzarnyconfused bme17:51
KotCzarny:)17:51
mvaenskaecould be a dead battery17:51

KotCzarnyoh, bootloop?17:52

mvaenskaethe bme will start charging eventually, correct?17:56
KotCzarnyaccording to someone, yes17:56
KotCzarnyits not in bootloop right now, ie not trying to boot every few s?17:56
mvaenskaeno17:57
KotCzarnythen try waiting17:57
mvaenskaei just started my device after a couple months of no usage17:57
KotCzarnyyou shouldnt leave battery in the device17:57
mvaenskaemay i ask why?17:58
*** hubutm20 has joined #maemo17:58
mvaenskaemost electronics these days have non-removable batteries17:58
KotCzarnyli-ions prefer storage with ~40% capacity17:58
KotCzarnymost electronics are made to be disposable nowadays17:59
KotCzarnyie. 3 years contract, then get new one17:59
KotCzarnyleaving battery in device risks battery sucked dry17:59
mvaenskaetrue; i am trying to source some old n900 devices from my university if they still have them18:01

krnlyngwhat do i do?18:19
KotCzarnymessed packages, try installing those dependencies to see what the blocker is18:20
krnlyngKotCzarny: https://bpaste.net/show/3c1c418888e718:21
krnlyngperl is also not installable for the same reason as perl-modules18:22

*** eijk has joined #maemo18:23

KotCzarnyand what is the reason for perl-modules?18:27
KotCzarnyahm, k18:27
KotCzarnyi assume you've already tried apt-get update and apt-get install -f ?18:28
KotCzarnyalso, can you disable extras-devel, update and try installing perl again?18:32

Jack64thanks KotCzarny :)23:22
KotCzarnyjack64: just grab some example23:22
KotCzarnyeasiest way to create app in new env is to modify existing one23:22
Jack64yep, that's my plan =)23:23
Jack64got a hello world link handy?23:23
Jack64btw, I can code this on my laptop and just scp it over to the N900 right?23:23
KotCzarnyyou can ssh to n900 and create it directly23:24
KotCzarnyinstall some editor (mc for example)23:24
Jack64I like nano =)23:24
KotCzarnybut, you can make it on desktop pc23:24
KotCzarnythen just fix incompatibilities23:24
