dreamerfailure10:10
KotCzarnylove the usual #not-a-bug response ;)10:11
bencoh"I question the simplicity of this patch due to the fact that it leaves no head room for further security-related regressions.  Maybe more progressive over-engineering of the code is a better course of action."10:11

xesso... that crap of skype is still working?11:13
bencohgood question11:13
xesdo we have any possibility to integrate into maemo accounts any libpurple "glue" to add new services?11:15
bencohmaemo uses telepathy11:17
bencohyou can glue purple plugins to telepathy using haze11:17
sicelolet me test skype. according to email they had sent me earlier it shouldn't11:17
*** Kabouik has quit IRC11:17
siceloxes: which services/protocols do you have in mind to add/gule?11:17
sicelo*glue11:17
*** KotCzarny has quit IRC11:21
*** KotCzarny has joined #maemo11:21
xessicelo: well i'm used with bitlbee where you can add any libpurple service like: skypeweb/telegram/libsteam/matrix/facebook/hangouts...11:22
Wizzupwonder if those versions are even remotely compatible still11:24
bencohtelegram works with libpurple (someone patched it for maemo)11:26
bencohI couldn't build hangout (libjson is too old)11:26
bencohas for gluing it with telepathy I didn't succeed in using libtelegram with telepathy11:27
siceloyes i know bitlbee :-)11:27
sicelobtw, skype logged in just fine11:27
sicelovoice call working too11:28
*** eMHa_ has joined #maemo11:28
bencohwow11:29
siceloyes telegram working on N900 via Pidgin11:29
xesbut pidgin is a bit ...too fat. Have the possibility to add those services into maemo "native" account manager would ensure a nice perspective for the future11:33
xesanyway, yes. Skype is still working also on standard 4.3 linux version. But we can expect any suprise11:35
*** peetah has quit IRC11:35
*** Kabouik has joined #maemo11:36
bencohxes: the thing is, the telepathy we're using is a bit ... old11:38
bencoh(as usual)11:38
bencohand our telepathy client (rtcom-messaging-ui in this case) would lack quite a few features11:38
bencohit can't display much apart from text (or ~html) afaict11:39
Wizzuppresumably the frontend is gtk11:39
bencohit's not just gtk11:39
*** peetah has joined #maemo11:40
siceloand we also don't support captchas or other 2FA mechanisms needed for adding new telegram account for example11:42
*** Kabouik has quit IRC11:42
bencohhmm11:44
bencohlast time I tried creating a telegram account using pidgin it worked11:44
bencohthat was ... 6 months ago I think11:44
*** Kabouik has joined #maemo11:44
bencoh(it was a pain, but worked eventually)11:44
*** Kabouik has quit IRC11:44
*** Kabouik has joined #maemo11:45
xesbencoh: and do you think something could be tweaked to fit maemo?11:45
bencohxes: you'd need to RE rtcom-messaging-ui first (and/or replace it with FOSS)11:45
bencohas for telepathy being old, iirc newer telepathy versions require a newer glib11:46
bencoh(libglib)11:46
bencohor go with pidgin, which isn't great, but it's not that bad11:47
bencohpidgin for maemo has room for improvment, but it's usable11:48
xesbah...after every corner there is another wall to hit11:48
Wizzupless so when rebased on devuan :)11:49
bencohxes: which is why the best course of action is probably rebasing on top of a modern distro (like the devuan port/rebase some guys are working on)11:49
xesbencoh: yes sure, but IM integration is a basic requirement for many and on maemo is working very well with supported protocols11:52
bencohtrue11:53
DocScrutinizer05L29Ah: What The Fuck?! Poettering analyzes parameter VALUES for syntactical correctness and when incorrect ignores the whole parameter??? that's so terribly fucked up logic12:00
jogahttp://i.imgur.com/nY9owbg.png12:00
DocScrutinizer05HEHE nice one, alas almost true12:01
L29Ahyes12:04
sicelobencoh: yes pidgin does work. i meant maemo's telepathy12:05
DocScrutinizer05go figure! user=Øtto (and user=otto<nbsp> ) are invalid PARAMETERS and thus silently ignored, while user=nonexistent results in the expected reject12:06
DocScrutinizer05ignored user=666poettering results in user=root12:06
WizzupI thought it resulted in uid=612:07
bencohsicelo: ah, right12:07
DocScrutinizer05nope, the whole parameter gets ignored and thus the unit file is run as default (aka root)12:07
DocScrutinizer05at least that's what poettering claims it does and is intended behavior12:08
DocScrutinizer05what pile of shit must have replaced your brain to come up with such a spec?12:09
Wizzuphe probably just wrote the code and didn't think of it, and now seems it as desirable to save face12:10
Wizzups/seems/sees/12:10
infobotWizzup meant: he probably just wrote the code and didn't think of it, and now sees it as desirable to save face12:10
DocScrutinizer05it's even worse than "when there's no proper config, 9.9.9.9 is the default fallback"12:10
bencoh8.8.8.8*12:11
DocScrutinizer058.8.8.8 sorry12:11
DocScrutinizer05same like "umask default is 777 everywhere, unless you explicitly restrict it further" in systemd12:12
DocScrutinizer05those folks have no fucking clue about coding at large12:13
KotCzarnydoc: i bet it's done on purpose, thought there is a saying 'never confuse malice with stupidity'12:16

sixwheeledbeast^Typical, blame everything else before you even consider you have a bug.12:41
KotCzarnyand even then, say it's 'the policy and it's expected'12:41
KotCzarnysome guy in other channel used that as an argument12:42
sixwheeledbeast^I fail to see how that isn't one or even multiple issues rolled into one.12:43

halftuxsicelo: for the compiled perl stuff to irssi deb you need to add into the debian/irssi.install file, following path: debian/tmp/usr/lib/perl13:59
halftuxand not specifing configure parameter --with-perl-lib14:01
sicelomakes sense. did you test in SB?14:14

freemangordonTheKit: clutter, afaik19:30
TheKitI get ** (hildon-desktop:23474): WARNING **: CRTC does not support rotation (0x00000001 vs. 0x00000002) if I try to force portrait mode in code19:36
freemangordonon what device is that?19:37
TheKitjust Xvnc on Android phone19:38
TheKitthe problem is hildon-desktop won't display properly if screen width is greater than height (say 720x1280)19:39
freemangordoncould it be that clutter is acting?19:39
freemangordonas h-d works through clutter_stage, iirc19:39
freemangordonhmm, wait, it could be something in matchbox19:40
*** halftux has joined #maemo19:41

freemangordonTheKit: hmm, right19:41
freemangordonTheKit: anyway, iirc h-d expects to be started in landscape, it misbehaves otherwise. Maybe a piece of code needs to be added that detects in what mode it is started19:43
halftuxsicelo: I can confirm that my irssi build with dpkg-buildpackage has perl support. For the mouse/nickname script I needed to activate the nokia apps mirror and installing perl-modules19:47
TheKitfreemangordon, I suppose it does something like this already for portrait lock: https://github.com/fremantle-gtk2/hildon-desktop/blob/master/src/main.c#L79819:53

DocScrutinizer05freemangordon: ((h-d expects to be started in landscape)) makes sense, see N8x0/maemo420:34
DocScrutinizer05maemo genuine mode always been landscape, I guess20:35
*** xy2_ has joined #maemo20:37
DocScrutinizer05in Pyra they had to add a hw-rotator chip into video interface, sunce nowadays it's seemingly impossible to find LCD displays that work (scan) in portrait mode20:37
DocScrutinizer05and it's one of the most bewildering facts that even allegedly versatile video cards like the OMAP embedded stuff seem to have no scanning mode other than top left to right progressive or maybe interlaced down20:40
DocScrutinizer05you'd think a decent videoram scanning hardware should consist of massively programmable counters that allow arbitrary address offsets after every pixel that got read out, plus at least 2 layers of pixelcounters that, when reaching zero, apply new settings (offset, skew) to that first level pixel counters after an arbitrary number of pixels, to scan next line or start next partial (interlaced) or full (progressive) screen scan20:46
DocScrutinizer05Amiga's copper would have been up to that task, contemporary OMAP5 seems not to20:47
KotCzarnyoptimization at costs cutting vs hobbyist hardware20:48
KotCzarnycan't compare :P20:48
*** Kabouik has quit IRC20:49
*** Kabouik has joined #maemo20:49
DocScrutinizer05compare copperlist20:52
DocScrutinizer05https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Original_Chip_Set#Copper20:53
TheKitin GPD Win rotation is handled in software (portrait panel mounted into laptop-like shell)21:06
DocScrutinizer05then otoh you could argue such address translation should get done while *writing* into the video ram, not while reading it out21:07
DocScrutinizer05but ehrn doing it in write, you run into massive problems with DMA-like blits21:08

DocScrutinizer05seems like using any of those nifty gfx accelerators for that is the way to go, zhey can do 3D rendering so they should be well up to the task of transcoding / scrambling the addr sequence of pixels in videobuffer21:13

xy2_is replacing N900 screen dangerous?21:14
DocScrutinizer05no21:14

DocScrutinizer05not at all21:14
KotCzarnyif you do it during thunderstorm or in wool sweater, yes21:14
DocScrutinizer05just take care of the flex riboon cable between display and keyboard part of device, the connector is very fragile21:15
DocScrutinizer05~flexcable21:15
infobotfrom memory, fixribbon is http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=1324171#post132417121:15
DocScrutinizer05xy2_: what exactly do you want to replace? the LCD display, the touch panel aka digitizer, or the complete display incl slider mechanism?21:23
xy2_DocScrutinizer05: the lcd display21:25
DocScrutinizer05ok, please follow instructions of sixwheeledbeast^ in http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=1324171#post1324171, then instead of replacing the ribbon you replace the LCD. See servicemanual for that21:26

DocScrutinizer05watch out with the connector at end of flex cale, don't bend it or pry with a sjarp or pinpoint tool. Use a credit card to pry it off the mainboard21:28

DocScrutinizer05don't bend sharp the cable itself either, it will break21:29
DocScrutinizer05this easily happens when you pull away the display half from kbd half, so be very careful while disassembling21:30
