IRC log of #maemo-ssu for Thursday, 2011-02-24

VidI know there are static source code packages at <http://repository.maemo.org/community>, but I'm looking for active repositories like the ones for Fremantle on gitorious00:02
Sc0rpiuswell I guess Diablo CSSU is not active00:07
Sc0rpiusbut that is the official link, the one you pasted00:08

MozillionI just wanted to verify, but I cannot think of any other thing I upgraded in the past weeks00:39
Mozillionbut it seems that the Jabber call/video call buttons have disappeared since I switched to CSSU00:39
Mozilliondoes anyone else on CSSU still have the buttons00:39

Sc0rpiusok I managed to fix the New Message Button in portrait mode but05:25
Sc0rpiusI MIGHT have a memory leak doing so, so I need to test/investigate more05:26
Sc0rpiusbut in summary I do this:05:26
Sc0rpiusgtk_widget_queue_resize(priv->new_message_button);05:26
Sc0rpiuswhen a screen change is detected05:26
Sc0rpiusit works, but I think the pointer of the screen gets hanging without proper unref/free05:27
* Sc0rpius goes to read GdkScreen/GtkWidget documentation05:27
Sc0rpiusfixed the Segmentation Fault05:40
Sc0rpiusfixed all New Message buttons05:54
Sc0rpiusbut now I just noticed the Mailboxes window has a New Message button that doesn't look hildonized05:54
Sc0rpiusfixed everything05:57
Sc0rpiusand nobody ever noticed the button of mailboxes window wasn't hildonized since the beginning of times05:57
Sc0rpiusnow patch + final test + merge request to MohammadAG05:57
Sc0rpiusmerge request done06:19
Sc0rpiusanyway there's a couple of things to do06:19
Sc0rpius1.- fix the toolbar when viewing a message in portrait mode06:19
Sc0rpius2.- Force compose message window to landscape, at least for now in my opinion, since I think nobody is going to type an email in portrait mode06:20
Sc0rpius5 bugs left to release tree view mode06:25
Sc0rpius:)06:25
Sc0rpiusok time to go to sleep06:31
MohammadAG<Sc0rpius> +and nobody ever noticed the button of mailboxes window wasn't hildonized since the beginning of times | I did, told timeless about it :p07:21

ruskiehmm will the cssu start supporting some easy way of specifying what app should be used for what(i.e. what should be used for http:// https:// ftp:// mailto: links? and with what parameters?)09:45
ruskieso one could use mutt or alpine or some webmail if so desired...09:48

thpruskie: theoretically yes. we just need to figure out which component is currently taking care of that (maybe libhildonmime?)11:10
thpruskie: do you want to volunteer finding out which component is responsible for that? we can then determine if it's open (and just patch it) or if we would need to replace it11:11
ruskiewell there is browser switchboard... so maybe base it on that? just expand it for all urls?11:12
thpruskie: yes, that'd be a good start11:12
ruskiefrom what I understand and from what I've seen on my own... one needs to substitute whatever dbus listener is in use(i.e. in case of browser replace it with an app that will handle those)...11:15
ruskiemailto links also seem to be directed on dbus to modest11:16
ruskieso would need to grab that part of modest and make it separate11:16
thpi don't think you can replace listeners. but maybe you mean filtering d-bus messages?11:16
ruskiemore like intercepting the messages11:17
ruskiedbus-switchboard and browser-switchboard certainly handle stuff11:17
ruskieso either they intercept certain messages and simply kill the final process11:20
ruskieor they actually hook into that address and listen on it... while killing the original listener11:20
ruskieit's been I think about a year since I checked this11:21
thpruskie: have you tried contacting the browser switchboard author(s)?11:21
ruskielooking at browser-switchboard it does hookup as a dbus-server(listener)11:24
ruskieand replaces com.nokia.osso_browser.service with itself11:24
ruskieimplements minimal osso_browser_init, osso_browser_class_init, open_address, osso_browser_load_url, osso_browser_mime_open, osso_browser_open_new_window,11:27
ruskiecomment from it: /* Register the name com.nokia.osso_browser on the D-Bus session bus */11:27
ruskieso something similar would need to be done for mailto11:28

ruskie/usr/share/dbus-1/services/com.nokia.modest.service <-- so that and a listener that can disassemble mailto: links into something that is passable to apps merge with browser switchboard to have support for both... and possibly extend browser-switchboard to allow a separate app for ftp: links...11:33
JaffaMorning, all11:34
Jaffaruskie: There's no need for that to be part of the CSSU, is there? It can be an Extras package just like Browser/DBus Switchboard.11:35
ruskiewell would be nice if all of that would be part of the cssu in core... so that people would have a choice from the get-go11:36
JaffaMohammadAG: Sc0rpius: I've noted another bug with Modest in portrait beyond just the "New message" button. The "Message Details" dialogue is shown squished up against the bottom of the screen, making it impossible to read any of the content.11:36
Jaffaruskie: So we should also include fMMS, so people can send MMS from the get go? And Hermes so people can sync photos and social network information from the get-go? And PrDoom so people can play a 3D game from the get-go?11:37
Jaffaruskie: If it can be shipped separately, and isn't massively core, it should stay out of the CSSU IMHO11:37
Jaffaruskie: The CSSU is a mechanism and project to deliver fixes which can't be delivered easily any other way. Not a bucket for every interesting piece of functionality...11:37
ruskiehaving the ability to choose what app is launched for something or other is imho massively core11:37
ruskiesince every other OS(even windows) has such a feature...11:38
Jaffaruskie: For you.11:38
Jaffaruskie: Windows only has it cos of the anti-trust trial ;-)11:38
ruskielast I checked win95 supported a default browser and mailclient feature11:39
Jaffaruskie: If it can be shipped separately, and not everyone may want it, why couple it to the CSSU's release cycle and process?11:39
Jaffaruskie: In the same way that Maemo does: third party apps listen for an appropriate event and claim it for themselves (roughly)11:39
JaffaLook, I consider shortcutd core to my usage of Maemo, but there's no reason it needs to be included in the CSSU11:40
psycho_oreosiirc someone had issue with microb not being able to connect. This is not directly related to using CSSU, however he later mentioned that microb was able to connect to internet and show pages after he installed browser switchboard. So in theory browser switchboard seems important11:40
ruskieJaffa, well my understanding of what a CSSU should be I guess differs... I would assumed it wasn't just for bugfixes and adding imho pointless feature(portrait mode)... it's about providing a complete and BETTER alternative to what is provided by nokia...11:42
ruskies/feature/features/11:43
Jaffaruskie: That's what the whole of Extras does.11:43
Jaffaruskie: CSSU is *part* of that. Not the whole of it.11:43
ruskieno the whole of Extras are just that... applications on top... stuff one might want to run instead of the core apps...11:43
Jaffaruskie: http://wiki.maemo.org/Community_SSU#What_is_it.3F -- "It aims to deliver fixes which can't be delivered easily through Extras, such as core Maemo packages. It won't, however, bundle software which can be installed through the Extras repositories."11:45
psycho_oreoswhat about lfocus for example?11:46
ruskielfocus?11:47
psycho_oreosvideo recording without LED is a pita. Having to install a 3rd party app just to have that functionality is more annoying :)11:48
*** lardman|home has joined #maemo-ssu11:48
psycho_oreosa package that allows you to adjust settings for recording videos for example. Disabling red LED, enabling dual LED for recording dark scenes, etc11:48
ruskiewell I'm still trying to figure why modest fixes couldn't be delivered through extras...11:49
psycho_oreosprobably the logic for that is modest is standard nokia app11:50
ruskieor any other component at that that isn't closed11:50
*** lcuk2 has joined #maemo-ssu12:03
*** villev has quit IRC12:03
*** lcuk has quit IRC12:07
thpruskie: we can ship enablers for stuff like browser switchboard to controll all URIs if it doesn't work by default12:32
thpso if there needs to be a change in a built-in component to get browser switchboard to work fully, i think it's okay to put that in12:32
pillardefault app chooser could be a control panel plugin12:34
pillarand I agree with ruskie that it should be quite core to an OS that lets users freely to add 3rd party apps12:36
thpif the package is small and unintrusive, i think it can go in (jaffa?)12:40
thpso if browser switchboard is rewritten into a control panel applet and has its "branding" removed to just have a "Preferred applications" appearance12:41
lardman|homehas anyone reported their N900 not wanting to charge from the wall socket since the last cssu?12:47
lardman|homeperhaps a reboot will sort it12:47
Lava_Croftlardman|home: works here12:49
Lava_Croftmaybe the wall socket is broken12:49
Lava_Croftor the charger12:49
lardman|homeno, reboot fixed it12:49
lardman|homenever seen that before though, recognised the wall charger as a standard usb device and asked if I wanted mass storage of pc suite mode12:50

*** villev has joined #maemo-ssu15:01
Jaffaruskie: If you don't understand why modest can't be shipped through Extras, I'm afraid I haven't got time to explain. Short version: it can't because of HAM domains, repository trust levels and mp-fremantle-generic-pr fixed version dependencies.15:03
JaffaHowever, I agree with thp: if there needs to be a core change to make a * Switchboard work better, fine. But there's no *need* to ship it as part of the CSSU. Just like there's no need to ship fMMS.15:04
JaffaWhereas portrait mode for HAM, hildon-desktop et al needs to be part of the CSSU.15:05

thpMohammadAG: wouldn't the "desktop press feedback" effect not look better if the clutter timeline was restarted if another touch is registered before the timeline has finished?16:21
thpthe effect is cool, but doing a double-tap or just touching twice quickly only plays the effect once (the first time)16:21

MohammadAGthp, I also think the desktop should stay downscaled till the pointer is raised17:02
MohammadAGi.e listen to ButtonRelease as well as ButtonPress17:02

* Sc0rpius yawns18:19
Sc0rpiusI'll check the message details later.  I also happened to notice that "squished dialog" is also present when you try to select a destination folder when you move one18:26
Sc0rpiusand I wonder if the tinymail that was pulled was the tinymail-3-2 branch and not the master since the master is old and haven't been updated in years18:26
JaffaSc0rpius: Probably the same issue (some common way that Modest opens its dialogues)18:26
* Sc0rpius quickly checks that18:26
Sc0rpiusyeah I'm pretty sure is the same issue18:27
Sc0rpiusyeah the branch we need for tinymail in CSSU is "tinymail-1-2" that's the newest and correspond to PR1.3 version 1.1.9218:29
Sc0rpiusthe master branch is 1.018:29
MohammadAGyes, I need to fix that18:30
JaffaSo the CSSU branch isn't based on the PR1.3 version?18:31
MohammadAGno, I'll fix that now18:32

ivgalvezHi there this is the first time I join the IRC18:40
ivgalvezHope not to bother anyone with nonsenses and whinning18:40
MohammadAGhi :)18:41
*** BCMM has joined #maemo-ssu18:42
ivgalvezIn PR 1.3 there is a bug (feature?) regarding frequency is stuck at 500Mhz when the device is plugged to the wall18:47
ivgalvezIt's fixed in Kernel Power, but as far as I see in the CSSU there is no changes in Kernel18:47
MohammadAGyeah, that's related to the kernel18:47
ivgalvezAre you planning to add the patch from kernel power?18:48
MohammadAGkernel-power has it fixed, I'm not sure if we should include a stock kernel update (though I see no reason not to)18:48
MohammadAGit's not a patch, it's just reversing one :)18:48
ivgalvez:D18:49
ivgalvezMay the update to the kernel in CSSU cause a conflict with kernel power if installed?18:49
ivgalvezCan't figure it18:49
MohammadAGSc0rpius, Jaffa fixed, tinymail-1-2 set as master18:50

Jaffaivgalvez: If anything, the CSSU might pull in kernel-power. However, there are some issues around that (and overclocking apps) which'd need to be addressed.18:56
*** villev_ has quit IRC18:56
Jaffaivgalvez: You are right in saying that if the CSSU contained a core kernel update it might cause problems. And I'm not sure why the community would maintain two separate kernesls18:56
*** villev has joined #maemo-ssu18:56
MohammadAGI considered changing kernel-power to kernel and replacing the stock kernel, however that would break dependencies :)18:57
MohammadAGsome app depends on kernel, expects -omap1, gets power4618:57
ivgalvezIn fact, kernel power brings up fixes and core new features like overclocking, usb host, and more. And that's the purpose of the CSSU18:58
BCMMMohammadAG: doesn't debian have a way for a package to "provide" another package?18:58
ivgalvezTo avoid breaking dependecies we could use a dummy transitional package18:58
ivgalvezthat's how it's handled in Debian18:59
BCMMterminology might be different, but i mean a way for a drop-in replacement to satisfy dependencies18:59
MohammadAGBCMM, Provides: HAM ignores it18:59
BCMMMohammadAG: oh, wow.18:59
ivgalvezNew kernel package should be in fact the kernel power, and we could make a dummy package called kernel power to ensure dependencies19:00
*** villev has quit IRC19:01
MohammadAGI'd expect fcam to break first19:01
*** villev has joined #maemo-ssu19:01
MohammadAGand since there's no dkms, I'm not sure how this would work :/19:01
ivgalvezno dkms at all? That's bad19:02
ivgalvezThe upgraded kernel package may be shouldn't be so dummy as it shoud unninstall the no more needed kernel from the system19:02
MohammadAGunfortunately, on a PC, you'd have kernels in /boot19:03
MohammadAGon the N900, kernels are flashed to /dev/mtd119:03
MohammadAGkernels aren't stored, only the current kernel exists19:03
MohammadAGbut the modules of all other kernels are there19:03
BCMMso is mtd1 a separate block device just for loading the kernel from?19:04
ivgalvezI'm looking at it19:04
ivgalvezso the "unninstall kernel power" desktop shortcut is just for reflash the old kernel, isn't it?19:05
Sc0rpiusI wouldn't include kernel-power in CSSU19:06
ivgalvezWhy?19:07
MohammadAGoh f me19:07
MohammadAG/dev/mtd2, sorry!19:08
MohammadAGmeh, my memory's not serving well, mtd3 :/19:08
ivgalvez:D19:08
MohammadAGmtd1 is config partition, stores lock code and some important info, wiping it = instant brick19:08
MohammadAGit persists across reflashes, commonly called CAL19:09
MohammadAG/dev/mtd0 = bootloader, if it's wiped you can recover with cold flashing (tested it, works fine)19:09
ivgalveznice lesson19:09
MohammadAG/dev/mtd2 = logs kernel OOPS and errors19:09
MohammadAGmtd3 kernel19:10
MohammadAGmtd4 initfs partition, the N900 has no initfs so this is an empty 2MB partition19:10
MohammadAG(or so we believe)19:10
MohammadAGmtd5 = rootfs, and that's it :P19:10

JaffaThe other thing to be tackled about pulling in kernel-power in the CSSU is making sure that any of the apps in Extras which allow playing with the speeds give users a warning before exceeding 600MHz (cos a newbie used won't have made the explicit choice to install the overclockable kernel)20:36
