Sc0rpiushttp://www.meegoexperts.com/2011/02/myriad-announce-alien-dalvik-enabling-android-apps-run-meego-maemo/02:03
BCMMVM/user-mode "kernel", or something nice?02:03
Sc0rpiuscharging you for it, that's how it works02:03
BCMMoh, an actual port of dalvik?02:03
Sc0rpiusyes02:03
Sc0rpiusI think it's for Meego, not Maemo, but it was demonstrated on a N9002:04
Sc0rpiusN90002:04
Sc0rpiusbut that would be definitely a nice addition to MeeGo02:05
*** akikhaw has joined #maemo-ssu02:07
BCMMso is Dalvik open?02:07
Sc0rpiusyeah all Android is open, including Dalvik02:08
Sc0rpiusI mean the "vanilla Android" of course02:08
Sc0rpius(the one that runs in a Nexus One)02:08
BCMMso is myriad sticking to the license, or what?02:09
BCMMi mean, for how long is it going to be payware-only?02:09
Sc0rpiusMyriad is sticking to the license, but the port is not open02:11
BCMMuh, how does that work?02:11
BCMMoh, they haven't released it yet02:11
BCMMwhen the release it, they'll have to release source, right?02:11
Sc0rpiusno they haven't, but it'll be closed and will be commercially avaand that's ok02:11
Sc0rpiuscommercially available02:11
Sc0rpiusnot really02:11
Sc0rpiusthey just have to release the source code of dalvik02:12
Sc0rpiusnot the port in the layer above it02:12
BCMMi'm not sure i understand about the "layer above it"02:13
Sc0rpiuswell we would have to be how they implemented it02:17

Jaffa_nicolai_: Raise a bug pointing to a gitorious repo, or tarball explaining why your version is better what problems it fixes and whether its functionality is a complete superset of the core one.12:43
_nicolai_there are some open questions I would like to discuss12:46
_nicolai_for example, if you clone components from nokia12:46
_nicolai_should we use the same package name?12:47
_nicolai_and can we distribute nokias "artwork", icons for example?12:47
Jaffa_nicolai_: Can't distribute, but can depend on the original package and then reuse at runtime12:56
Jaffa_nicolai_: So, no, shouldn't use original package name12:56
Jaffas/depend on the original package/depend on the package containing the artwork/ (probably part of the theme)12:57
_nicolai_ty13:04
mardyMohammadAG: ping13:19
*** M4rtinK has joined #maemo-ssu13:30
mardyJaffa: do you know anything about the keyboard handling code recently landed in hildon-desktop?13:36

*** NIN101 has joined #maemo-ssu14:28
Jaffamardy: No14:31
*** M4rtinK has quit IRC14:31
mardyJaffa: I have a bad feeling about it, as if no one even looked at that code14:37
JaffaThe shortcut stuff from Matan?14:38
*** MohammadAG has quit IRC14:50
*** MohammadAG has joined #maemo-ssu14:50
mardyJaffa: yep15:20
Jaffamardy: It's been in use for quite a while in a number of patched hildon-desktops15:21
mardyJaffa: that doesn't mean that the code has actually been checked15:21
mardyJaffa: try pressing the shift screen while in the task switcher15:21
Jaffamardy: I didn't claim - nor did I on maemo-developers - that the code *had* been checked.15:22
Jaffamardy: What's the "shift screen"?15:22
mardyJaffa: a typo :-)15:23
mardyJaffa: shift key15:23
Jaffamardy: Ah15:23
mardyJaffa: I would actually propose a patch to remove that code altogether15:25
mardyJaffa: and then re-merge them in once it's made more understandable15:26
* mardy can't type anymore :-)15:26
JaffaMatan won't work on it, given he's descended into trollery15:26
mardyJaffa: some things of that patch are clear, at least the goals15:26
mardyJaffa: so I can rewrite some parts15:27
mardyJaffa: some others (like the edit button which appear if you press shift in the task switcher) are a mystery to me15:27
mardyJaffa: but we could put them back too, once we know what's their goal15:27
JaffaThe intent is, I think, documented at http://my.svgalib.org/repo/Modified_Hildon_Desktop.html15:28
mardyJaffa: even though, to be frank, I don't see the point of this keyboard navigation altogether :-)15:29
JaffaWell, me neither.15:29
mardyJaffa: then hildon-desktop is sending dbus signals whenever a key is pressed15:29
mardyJaffa: what if more than one application is listening for the signals? The thing doesn't seem to be well designed15:30
JaffaI think MohammadAG understands the use cases15:32
mardyMohammadAG: did you follow the conversation?15:33

Sc0rpiusI thought the scrollable buffer in Modest was already fixed by MohammadAG18:39
DocScrutinizermardy: WUT? edit button? never seen18:47
DocScrutinizerpressing shift alone does nothing here, pressing shift-QWEASD kills the corresponding app18:47
MohammadAGDocScrutinizer, press shift in the task launcher18:48
MohammadAGSc0rpius, can't recall that18:48
DocScrutinizeraaah task launcher18:48
MohammadAGactually, task manaer18:48
MohammadAGmanager*18:48
DocScrutinizerhmm, nuttin18:49
DocScrutinizerwhat now???18:50
DocScrutinizerapp manager, or task switcher? or app launcher??18:50
MohammadAGthe hildon-home edit button shows in the top area18:50
MohammadAGtask switcher18:50
DocScrutinizerNOPE18:50
MohammadAGthe "gear" button for widgets18:50
DocScrutinizernot here18:50
MohammadAGcustom hildon-home18:51
MohammadAG?18:51
DocScrutinizeras mentioned before shift alone does nothing, shift-Q kills upper leftmost process18:51
DocScrutinizerMHD18:51
MohammadAGyes, I realize that18:51
MohammadAGbut I've seen the bug on at least 5 devices18:52
DocScrutinizerand in app launcher the QWERT/ASDFG shortcuts work fine to start apps or eneter submenues of ApMeFo18:52
DocScrutinizerso any FUD about a shift key I'd like to see pointers to any fishy sourcecode related to that18:53
DocScrutinizerand for the usecases - it's not my fault if you don't like hw kbd. I dare to say it's not only a nice to have but a major design bug when you can't operate the device without touching the screen18:56
DocScrutinizereven a major fail of UI specs as done by Nokia, plus a massive regression from maemo4 to maemo518:57
*** BCMM has quit IRC19:00
DocScrutinizereven WinMo as on Samsung OMNIA allows using the device without touching the screen - though they don't even have hw kbd19:03
MohammadAGDocScrutinizer, it's not FUD, it's on my device19:03
DocScrutinizerso you introduced sth that isn't present on mine19:04
DocScrutinizerand as on mine there's original MHD afair, I'd suggest checking maemo-ssu rather than mathan's code19:04
*** merlin1991 has joined #maemo-ssu19:06
DocScrutinizerdon't get me wrong, I won't defend matan or his coding style, but I really get upset when it's suggested he published malware, based on an effect that only appears on mhd as of CSSU, and not when using original matan MHD19:06
*** _nicolai_ has quit IRC19:06
MohammadAGDocScrutinizer, malware? it's just a bug19:07
DocScrutinizer[2011-02-09 14:25:39] <mardy> Jaffa: I would actually propose a patch to remove that code altogether19:07
DocScrutinizer[2011-02-09 13:37:00] <mardy> Jaffa: I have a bad feeling about it, as if no one even looked at that code19:08
*** _nicolai_ has joined #maemo-ssu19:09
DocScrutinizerthat's not correct behaviour19:09
DocScrutinizerif anybody is feeling bad about code having seen too little review, DARN there's a way to solve that, that does NOT include removing the complete code19:10
DocScrutinizerand spreading FUD for sure won't help. As well as questioning the usecase will19:11
DocScrutinizernot19:11
DocScrutinizerI'm much more concerned about the closed source code in maemo having undergone way too little QA and review19:14
DocScrutinizerand I can list some dozen "bugs" of that severity in apps like mediaplayer and whatnot, but I'm not suggesting to remove those apps from repository, just because19:15
* w00t_ doesn't really see how how past possible incompetence excuses continuing said incompetence when it can be avoided19:16

JaffaDocScrutinizer: FWIW, pressing "shift" in the task manager on my N900, running just CSSU, with a couple of apps open showed the "cog" for configuring the home screens19:43
DocScrutinizerhmm, not here, neither in taskswitcher nor in appstarter19:44
merlin1991Jaffa, just tested, same result here19:44
DocScrutinizer1.2 + quite some new stuff on top, original MHD19:44
merlin19911.3 + cssu in my case19:45
DocScrutinizerno CSSU19:45
DocScrutinizerso evidently this crept in lately, maybe even unrelated to MHD19:45
merlin1991opened phone and sms app taskswitcher and shift brought the cog up19:45
merlin1991someone with clean 1.3 to narrow down the version?19:46
*** BCMM has joined #maemo-ssu19:50
MilhouseShift in task list gives Cog also confirmed here19:51

MohammadAGDocScrutinizer, which mhd are you using?20:45
MohammadAGMatan has 220:45
DocScrutinizerumm, the newer one?20:45
MohammadAGsure about that?20:45
DocScrutinizerwhat could I do to make sure what I have?20:46
MohammadAGdoes it have tune-able scrolling in /usr/share/hildon-desktop/transitions.ini20:46
MohammadAGgrep for deceleration20:46
DocScrutinizerIthought more like ls -l foobar and telling you the size, or sth. dpkg --info maybe20:46
MohammadAGwell, he changes the hildon-desktop binary in postinst so...20:47
DocScrutinizerIroN900:~# apt-cache policy modified-hildon-desktop20:48
DocScrutinizermodified-hildon-desktop:20:48
DocScrutinizer  Installed: 3.120:48
DocScrutinizerso, any *.so to ls -l20:49
DocScrutinizeror sth?20:49
MohammadAGnope20:49
MohammadAGcheck the transitions.ini file20:49
DocScrutinizeror... http://wiki.maemo.org/User:Joerg_rw/tools  guess that's what I did20:50
DocScrutinizerno decel in that file20:51
MohammadAGold mhd20:52
DocScrutinizerhmm, are you sure? I don't think installing mhd automatically replaced that file20:53
DocScrutinizerNB I'm on 1.220:54
MohammadAGit should20:55
MohammadAGidk20:55
MohammadAGcould be triggered by 1.3's hildon-home20:55

GadgetoidDocScrutinizer: ++ Thanks!21:04
DocScrutinizeryw21:04
GadgetoidHaha, hostmode-easy-now ;D21:07
*** marcels has quit IRC21:08
GadgetoidRight, in way over my head for the current burned out state of my brain. I shall have to try this latr!21:09
DocScrutinizerGadgetoid: install Hostmode Gui h-e-n in AppManager, from -devel repo21:11
GadgetoidDocScrutinizer: you underestimate just how burned out I am ;) But, yeah, I'll get there eventually! Thanks21:12
GadgetoidHaha, I love how my wife finds the most mundane of chilli hot, whilst I proceed to add extra bhut jolokia sauce on top21:18
BCMMGadgetoid: one builds a tolerance to chilli, or so I find21:25
BCMMsometimes quite quickly21:25
GadgetoidShe's "indian"  for crying out loud!21:28
GadgetoidBut, yes, you're right... chilli is extremely problematic in that respect, as is salt21:28
GadgetoidYou build a tolerance, or taste tolerance to it, and thus have to bias your food to such extremes that no other human being can eat it21:29
BCMMGadgetoid: heh, point proved... contrary to appearances, indians aren't actually genetically immune to the stuff21:32
BCMMit's just that some of them eat insanely hot things from early childhood21:33
GadgetoidI think insanely hot stuff is much more a western pursuit21:33
BCMMeating things that are insanely, painfully hot *to you* is a western thing21:34
BCMMindians just eat stuff that would be insanely, painfully hot to most other people21:34
GadgetoidOr rub them in their eyes to set world records... ouch!21:34
GadgetoidIs the ability to make one batch of insanely, criminally hot curry that everyone can eat too much to ask for... *cries*21:35
BCMMgotta wonder if that record-breaking woman was actually congenitally insensitive in some way21:35
GadgetoidI hope so... otherwise that's going to hurt for the next decade!21:36
GadgetoidYou'd have to train with pepper spray on a daily basis... or just some sort of liquid based pure capsaisin extract21:36
BCMMbut yeah, eating stuff that's too hot for you, either to demonstrate football-yob toughness or some sort of sophisticated appreciation of foreign food is stupid; means you can't taste anything else21:37
GadgetoidBCMM: I do it because it makes me high21:37
