skrullisI have followed the rescue guide for nokia n900 at http://wiki.meego.com/ARM/N900/Using_Rescue_Initrd . The guide says that I should see a rescue menu but the screen is just black. The rescue commands seem to work however. What I want to do is to open a rescue terminal so I really need to see something. Does anyone know what the problem could be?00:07

arfollvgrade, xbmc and opengl2 fails as on previous EMGD, so i'm trying to build XBMC for the atv2 that should work better (video + opengles2 should work), but they've changed the build system and it's broken00:17

arfollvgrade, i also wanted to ask you, how come when the joggler boots it isn't autoenabling ethernet? I need to run the netbook UX, enable the ethernet and then it connects. can I make it connect in runlevel3?00:19
skrullisI just realized that my rescue start of meego on the n900 was actually quite successful, it's only the backlight that's missing. How do I turn it on?00:20
vgradearfoll, as you know the joggler does not have a mac address for eth0 so has to be setup.  I thought I had put something in rc.local but may have forgot to do that with the latest image00:23
vgradeit shoud do ifconfig eth0 hw ether 00:11:22:33:44:5500:24

berndhsjust wait, Elop is going to make Hosni quit01:52
DrGrovI do not get any kind of result. He is a cryptic man to say the least.01:52

*** puffin has quit IRC01:53
berndhsHosni ? he believes his own propaganda, that's pretty much it01:53
DrGrovberndhs: No, Elop.01:53
berndhsdon't know if he believes his propaganda, haven't watching him01:54
mdpI have a customer thinking about basing their project on Qt, now they are worrying about its longevity due to all the press on this01:55
DrGrovberndhs: That is what I was thinking about as well. I do not get any grip on the man somehow.01:55
berndhsI think Mubarak is more interresting tomorrow01:55
DrGrovYes, Mubarak will be tha man tomorrow.01:56

DrGrovopenstandards: YES!02:35
DrGrovopenstandards: Meego is a pure gold mine. You hit the nail on the head right there"02:35

LinuxCodeCosmoHill, I dont think they forced them too14:36
fendelMilhouse: True. How can Nokia compete with Huawei and HTC on speed to market and price only?14:36
LinuxCodeI would imagine html5 is less resource hungry14:36
slainefendel: that's not quiet the point I was making. They're spending most of their money on developing Qt and the frameworks to provide a tier-1 SDK for developers and creating a reference UX, a custom product UX('s) and applications on top of that. That's all expenses that Nokia and Intel are spending on. As well  some on tailoring core os. But the benefits you mentioned are inherint in open source, you contribute and help others and at the same time reap the14:36
slainebenefits of contributions made by others.14:36

sivan900oh right. well leinir i will try to be optimistic some other day read the the register article and think if we r going to have another ovi sprint this year.....17:20
MilhouseThe only way I can see how this pans out, Nokia helps Microsoft establish WP7 as a success, then Microsoft buys Nokia. If MS haven't committed to buying Nokia in the future, then there is nothing in it for Nokia, nothing at all.17:20

dwdRobot101, Hey, Rob. So you were right, and I didn't believe it was possible.17:27
Robot101pvanhoof: well - they're still committed to releasing a device this year17:27
pvanhoofThey say that meego stays r&d, but ..17:27
openstandardsRobot101: nokia has patents....17:27
pvanhoofOne device, you think more will happen with meego?17:27
Milhousepvanhoof: there'll be a device from nokia, but who will seriously b developing for MeeGo (and Qt) after todays news? it's a dead end device, but no doubt interesting all the same.17:27
*** blah has joined #meego17:27
*** sejo has quit IRC17:27
Robot101but the fact Qt isn't part of the WP7 story - means it will have an "N900" problem17:27
dwdpvanhoof, There's promising noise from Intel.17:27
*** sejo has joined #meego17:27
Robot101a standalone device with very little platform appeal unless Intel also produces some devices17:28
Naranekdwd: care to clarify?17:28
Stskeepzi'm hoping to see devices on MWC.17:28
dwdRobot101, You saw Intel's note on an Atom based phone this year?17:28

LinuxCodeno19:55
uhsfI don't know why but it's like I knew all along that that Nokia/Meego was DOA since the Intel partnership last year.19:56
uhsfNokia didn't died today, it died one year ago.19:56
slonopotamussjk: it may pretend being alive, but i doubt meego will be any more alive than maemo19:56
uhsfMaemo was so close to be perfect on the N900. If Nokia would have keep improving Maemo instead of starting all again from scratch with Meego, we would have plenty of great Maemo devices to choose from by now.19:56
Aranelsjk: Nope, Intel and some others still commited to MeeGo.19:56
sivanguhsf: true19:56
ali1234i have to agree. a few more timely updates to maemo 5 wouldn't have been bad either19:57
MrCasethe problem (also a bless) with intel is, that intel can be committed to pretty much anything for a decade and it can still be a loss of 10 billion usd to them...19:57

openstandardsdon't hate nokia because of some ex-microsoft jackass21:54
uhsfI think it would be a great time to reunite Maemo and Meego communities into one, to join forces and produce the best open mobile platform, and under a better name by the occasion.21:54
niala1openstandards: +1000000021:54
Milhouseopenstandards: i doubt that, to be honest. they'll be laid off irrespective of stock price, but if it continues to tank maybe they won't. I feel very sorry for them though, and hope they'll all be ok.21:54
niala1openstandards: sad day for european industry, if i permit politic talk here21:54

anidelI don't see anything changing from the Intel point of view... that is,exactly, disappointment ...23:42
ahollerI wouldn't bet on the part in ()23:43
*** pmcgowan has quit IRC23:44
anidelNokia hasn't decided yet .. as eFlop ...erm Elop said, this is a transitional period for Nokia. They needed a stable OS until things clear in their mind... Wp7 or MeeGo?23:44
anidelWP7 is here now, so they went for it.. MeeGo will be here later.. so they wait and they continue to experiment as they did with Maemo23:44
sivangso given companies aside, if we make meego amazing as we can through the community evolution will prevail, that is wp7 has to prove itself in the market so until this has not happened I think we cannot yet say that meego is gone in Nokia23:44
lpotterexcept wp7 wont be on nokia phones for a year23:44
sivanganidel: exactly23:44
openstandardsi can't see the point in nokia doing this at all23:45
sivanglpotter: in that time meego becomes amazing and ripe, and nokia ndever sells wp7's :)23:45
pupnikwhat does WP7 do better than symbian3?23:45
sivangpupnik: getting US carrier market share23:45
anideland if they give something to MeeGo with the next N9, then I am happy.. as "we" community will still have a choice between those closed source alternatives23:45
openstandardspupnik: crash?23:45
openstandards:D23:45
*** jrocha has quit IRC23:45
anidelpupnik, a lot.. Symbian still crashes and the UI is old.. Symbian wasn't born to be scalable23:45
fendellpotter: First Nokia tells their N900 customers that they are screwed. Then they do not communicate much at all. Then they tell all their customers that what ever they buy the coming year will be unsupported soon...23:46
anidelWP7 is... and, actually,I like it a lot.. they did a great job.. but it's very very closed source23:46
niala1think,,linux start with no vendors.............23:46
niala1 but he was a very good hacker.... i m not... not at all.....23:46
anidelfendel, everyone knew the N900 was a transitional device23:46
MrCasesymbian should have been axed a long time ago.23:46
lpottersymbian is not the problem, the ui on symbian is23:47
anidelMrCase, true, but it takes guts to cut something you've spent billions in... with no alternative.. they had Maemo, they might have been pushing more on it23:47
fendelanidel: Yes, but Nokia would have made it a bit easier for them self if they had communicated some kind of support for MeeGo on the unit. It would not make a huge difference anyway. But it would have given them a lot less negativity23:47
anidellpotter, I ad a N8 for a month.. crashes were common.. it was crashing more than I was drinking glasses of water every day23:47
pupnika whole product pallette of maemo phones in 200923:47
fendellpotter: I can not see the problem of Symbian either23:47
*** Sqyber has quit IRC23:47
anidelfendel, what do you mean some kind of support for MeeGo on the unit?23:48
*** javispedro has quit IRC23:48
*** ptl has quit IRC23:48
fendelanidel: This was the clear message: We do not care about your needs or wishes. Your time invested is gone.23:48
anidelanyway... Nokia had to make a decision.. I don't approve it.. but I guess they were forced to do it and MS made a very nice deal for them..23:49
MrCasehttp://twitter.com/#!/nokia - this is so sad.23:49
*** sergiusens has quit IRC23:49
MrCaseno one is going to code for an already dead symbian, no one for just 2 maemo/meego phones.23:49
anidelfendel, false.. they did care..at least the team working on Maemo and MeeGo.. but for Nokia as a whole, it was and is still an experiment..23:49
fendelanidel: It would be nicer with something like: We have changed our strategy. We will help to ensure a smooth transition. The test users and developers will get a upgrade path23:49
niala1ok forgot nokia, continue meego, but Qt..... ? difficult to know now23:50
fendelanidel: A lot of users and developers has written about this the last year23:50
anidelfendel, miscommunication has always been an issue..23:50
anidelI don't defend them23:50
anidelI'm just tying to grasp this partnership ...23:51
anidelas I see it... MeeGo with its OSS roots was too slow for them... too slow to deliver23:51
anidelmay be :)23:51
sharpneliIt's madness23:51
*** jukka77_ has joined #meego23:51
*** AgentBlair has joined #meego23:52
jukka77_so, that's it about meego23:52
jukka77_what a pity.23:52
anidelwell they were in a corner.. Symbian didn't deliver, Maemo was ready, but for some reason they didn't believe in it or they though merging it in MeeGo would make more sense.. it does, but that meant another year thrown awat23:52
anidelaway23:52
pupnikindeed maemo was ready23:52
anidelso they had to choose... and went for WP7. I might like that.. as I like WP7, but for us in the OSS word, it's a bad news.23:52
fendelanidel: MeeGo was slow because of lack of resources and management support. Linux and other major open source projects are not slow23:53
anidelbut I guess the stock went down for different reason.. Nokia lost a piece of its identity23:53
pupnikcorrect fendel23:53
pupnikno committment behind meego23:53
pupnikjust lawyers and trademarks.  no hardcore team23:53
anidelfendel, MeeGo is slow because of too many entities driving it... as I said , democracy can be a bitch23:53
*** fredy_ has joined #meego23:54
MurmurORWould be nice to know what Ubuntu camp thinks about Qt integration, is there enough will power to carry on Qt platform and tools by someones23:54
fendelanidel: That is a management problem. Linus Thorvalds deals with those issues all the time with not much slow down23:54
anidelbut anyway.. they made this choice23:54
anidelfendel, look at the status of the Desktop Linux...23:54
MrCaseforget canonical.23:54
anidelso many developers.. and still...23:54
hirabayashitaroAfter nokia departure who are the "leading figures" for a possible future plan of meego about market strategies?23:54
sivanganidel: right23:55
anideland remember, MeeGO is NOT a Nokia product.. they depended on others... that was, to me, the main mistake in merging Maemo in MeeGo23:55
anideltrue, they could've branched off somehow... but still .. I think that process is very slow and they are still grasping how to manage it23:56
anidelnot something you would base a huge company as Nokia23:56
ahollerfor me maemo was the mistake.23:56
anidelso they still use Symbian as a cash cow as long as it lasts23:56
fendelanidel: No major player with a clear goal. Red Hat has been running the shows since 1998: http://web.archive.org/web/19981202001113/www.labs.redhat.com/projects.shtml23:56
anidelwaiting for WP7 and MeeGo to deliver23:56
anidelfendel, but how is their desktop compared to Windows 7 or Mac OS X?23:57
anidelI've been using Linux since 0.99pl13 !23:57
fendelanidel: Red Hat has been the main player on the Linux desktop. A company with no special interests in it.23:57
dotblankI don't think maemo was the mistake23:57
anideldotblank, was the mistake to drop it23:57
anidelthe mistake was to drop it :)23:57

anidelbut who are we to judge ... after all we're not even end users (at least not me :P)23:58
* pupnik agrees with anidel 23:58
*** marciom has quit IRC23:58
fendeldotblank: MeeGo is more or less ready to go. Two things lacking: 1) Testing by mass market (always some issues)  2) More important: Needed a functional ecosystem23:58
fendeldotblank: 2) Like a app-store with apps23:59
*** ivanich has joined #meego23:59
anidelanyway... I always like Maemo since the 770 and being very active in it... I will see what MeeGo brings ... then.. we'll see. .it's a shame.. Maemo meant a lot... was what I was waiting for on a mobile device..23:59
dotblankwell I hope intel kicks destroys the tablet market then23:59
pupnikapp-stores stink23:59
