| 03:34.36 | rhys | does the 770 have a camera? |
| 03:35.07 | rhys | its only vga. im just trying to pin down the differences other than that |
| 03:35.12 | rhys | both still have the 250mhz TI proc ? |
| 03:35.24 | kakos | The N800 has a 350 MHz |
| 03:35.47 | kakos | It also has a 3d accelerator chip which isn't as yet supported, but many people think it is going to be in the next patch |
| 03:35.56 | rhys | so its more powerful. does battery life suffer? cause the n800 is 350 and the n770 is 200 |
| 03:40.30 | rhys | kakos, do you know any other differences? |
| 03:41.03 | kakos | The battery life doesn't seem to suffer as far as I've noticed. |
| 03:41.09 | kakos | Let me think... |
| 03:41.30 | kakos | It has two SD slots rather than the single RS-MMC of the 770, which is nice |
| 03:41.50 | kakos | The speakers are better, but that isn't much of an issue since the sound quality isn't that great from either |
| 03:42.11 | kakos | I think those are the major things |
| 03:42.58 | kakos | How much can you get the 770 for? |
| 03:43.41 | rhys | 175$ on ebay |
| 03:43.44 | rhys | 150 used |
| 03:44.28 | rhys | 200 brand new in box |
| 03:44.38 | kakos | Hmmmm |
| 03:45.23 | kakos | It was definitely a worthy upgrade. If you can afford the N800, then I'd say that is your best bet |
| 03:45.37 | kakos | If money is an issue, then the 770 is still a damned good little machine |
| 03:45.42 | rhys | grrrrr. |
| 03:45.44 | rhys | thats the problem |
| 03:46.21 | rhys | im gonna get a bluetooth keyboard for sure to take notes in... i dont think i can type quickly enough in a lecture on the OSK |
| 03:46.31 | kakos | Hmmm |
| 03:47.34 | kakos | What do you plan on doing with it? |
| 03:47.43 | rhys | is "damned good machine" enough? 400 vs 250? is it worth 150? my other things im looking at is a sony mylo. both of those id need to get a phone..which is 150$. sanyo 8400. or i could get the treo 700p. |
| 03:48.02 | rhys | email, class notes, kismet, all my little toys. |
| 03:48.36 | rhys | actually i think im gonna rule out the treo just because of wifi. they are decently cheap..but i love linux too much |
| 03:50.45 | kakos | They also suck. Heh |
| 03:51.07 | kakos | Here's my official suggestion. Get the N800 unless you absolutely cannot. |
| 03:51.08 | rhys | im reading |
| 03:51.37 | kakos | The 770 has a lot of software, but the community activity has dropped since the N800 came out. |
| 03:51.47 | kakos | You can run IT 2007 on the 770, but I don't know how well it runs. I never tried it |
| 03:52.07 | rhys | dropped? or shifted to the it2007? |
| 03:52.29 | kakos | Shifted to IT2007 |
| 03:52.45 | rhys | i was looking at the software, it was huge. including claws mail. i just found claws a month or so ago to replace obese thunderbird |
| 03:53.00 | rhys | i run zenwalk linux. |
| 03:54.06 | kakos | Yeah. There is an impressive selection of software out there for it |
| 03:54.21 | kakos | I don't think I'd ever get along without my N800 (or my 770 before it) |
| 03:54.56 | rhys | does stuff that worked in 2006 work for 2007? are both 2.6 kernel based? |
| 03:55.01 | kakos | Either one is well worth the money you pay for it, but the N800 is probably a better buy overall |
| 03:55.12 | kakos | rhys: Some stuff that worked in 2006 works in 2007 |
| 03:55.20 | kakos | It's sort of hit and miss in that regard. |
| 03:55.30 | rhys | right. new kernel, new libraries. i understand. |
| 03:55.31 | kakos | They are both 2.6.x kernels, but the API changed some in the upgrade |
| 03:55.56 | kakos | I've gotten a fair amount of software for IT2006 to run just fine on IT2007, but some also doesn't. |
| 03:56.04 | kakos | Most of the software that doesn't has a 2007 version available though |
| 03:56.49 | rhys | something interesting if you interested embedded. friend of mine got me a avr32 ngw100 reference design. they are awesome little |
| 03:56.53 | rhys | oy |
| 03:57.04 | rhys | toy*! |
| 04:01.26 | rhys | thank you kakos. nice thing, i live almost for free, and thats just one weeks check. oh well. |
| 04:01.36 | rhys | hopefully its worth it |

| 08:54.48 | pupnik | so for e.g. someone trying to add an ogg dsp sink would need a recompiled kernel? |
| 08:55.32 | lardman | That is supposition, but the best I can work out at the moment, unless Nokia give us a header file of the EAP_ functions |
| 08:55.43 | lardman | recompiled DSP kernel that is of course |
| 08:56.06 | pupnik | yes |
| 08:56.38 | pupnik | when i had a NeXT someone wrote a fractal browser using the dsp |
| 08:57.24 | lardman | It is quite possible to write a mini-driver, as there's documentation galore, it's just whether it could be introduced without the kernel recompile. |
| 08:57.42 | lardman | I've not looked at whether the kernel could be recompiled easily, sounds like another steep learning curve |
| 08:57.45 | pupnik | have you asked for help on the mailing list? |
| 08:58.15 | lardman | Yes, long while back, thought I'd add it as a bug, etc. and see whether I could get Nokia to put the header file bit in the wish list |
| 08:58.18 | pupnik | maybe they are NDA'd by TI |
| 08:58.23 | pupnik | aha |
| 08:59.02 | sxpert-work | stupid NDAs from hell |
| 08:59.37 | lardman | I'm sure some of it is under NDA, just seems a shame as there is some demand for extra software codecs and this would be something for people to work on |
| 09:00.42 | lardman | fluendo were subcontracted the DSP work |
| 09:00.59 | sxpert-work | that I know. |
| 09:01.05 | lardman | perhaps they retain the rights |
| 09:01.19 | sxpert-work | the question is "what does TI gets from imposing NDAs on chips specs" |
| 09:01.43 | lardman | That's not TI though, they seem to publicise almost everything |
| 09:01.47 | sxpert-work | sounds totally counterproductive to their business which is (obviously) selling chips |
| 09:01.53 | lardman | except the IVA of course |
| 09:02.12 | sxpert-work | IVA ? |

| 09:02.38 | sxpert-work | why would they have an NDA on that ? |
| 09:02.46 | sxpert-work | didn't they design that too ? |

| 13:15.09 | lardman | Trying to build Octave 2.9.12 from the debian source & diff using dpkg-buildpackage, it fails to recognise f77/g77 as being GNU; running configure it finds it fine. |
| 13:15.57 | lardman | I can't see that it's a variable problem in configure, perhaps one of the flags passed by debian/rules interferes. Painful though. |
| 13:17.05 | lardman | Is there a way to do a usual configure & make, then package up the result using some script that looks at the Makefile? Would make my life much easier (as in general debian recipes need to be altered) |
| 13:17.28 | Veggen | well...there is a config.log or such. |
| 13:17.42 | Veggen | And you can look a the makefile and the variables etc. |
| 13:18.29 | lardman | I know about debugging configure problems, but this configure file is a beast! I was just venting and wondering if there's not an easier way |

| 13:20.21 | lardman | That was why it suddenly dawned on me that perhaps there's some interaction with either a flag or an env var and therefore a problem in the configure script. I'll take a look this evening |

| 14:27.13 | pupnik | There's an interesting input method that draws the most likely upcoming letters in boxes around the input area |
| 14:27.40 | gwak | pupnik: is that for the n800? |
| 14:27.44 | pupnik | no |
| 14:27.56 | pupnik | i don't have the name in memory sorry |
| 14:29.27 | cy- | yeah GAIM sucks.. typing with a stylus or whatever heh |
| 14:29.39 | cy- | I guess I should play around with the enlarged keyboard mode and thumb typing |
| 14:29.41 | pupnik | i got a bluetooth keyboard right away |
| 14:29.50 | bilboed | ok, once configured with light sensitivity and knowing the completion trick.... thumb mode is really usable |

| 14:38.28 | gwak | people are saying friday for the new firmware! |
| 14:39.00 | cy- | MoRpHeUz: I definitely just want a SIP/IAX2 client. So Gizmo would be ideal if I can use it to connect to my asterisk server, which sounds like I can. |

| 18:26.18 | nilsatchara | pupnik: The maemo.org openssh.install script registers with the application manager correctly but doesn't put an entry in for openssh (or ssh, for that matter). Going straight to the website (ftp.infradead.org/pub/maemo/openssh_4.2p1-1_arm.deb) is where I get the incompatibility error. |
| 18:27.00 | pupnik | i am guessing that the package maintainer needs to be informed of this |
| 18:27.19 | pupnik | to work around, try downloading the .deb and using dpkg -i openssh_4.2p1-1_arm.deb |
| 18:27.46 | nilsatchara | thanks, I'll try that |

| 18:28.40 | Brenduh | ok, I've found it. If I go here: https://garage.maemo.org/frs/?group_id=278&release_id=678 what do I do? Download each file one by one? Then which one do I run? |
| 18:30.34 | pupnik | hah, lots of files |
| 18:30.38 | pupnik | start with pidgin_2.0.0-1nix2_armel.deb |
| 18:30.44 | pupnik | then add emotes, sounds if you want |
| 18:30.53 | pupnik | and the protocol (yahoo, etc) you want |
| 18:31.04 | Brenduh | when I click that and click install (the first one) I keep getting the message unable to install some packages are missing |
| 18:31.21 | pupnik | check the log for details |
| 18:31.38 | Brenduh | I tried, I can't find anything :/ ... sorry I'm a newbie |
| 18:32.22 | pupnik | ok you're using the application installer program? or installing from a command-line |
| 18:32.43 | Brenduh | I'm clicking download then open |
| 18:33.00 | pupnik | ok then that opens the 'application manager' or whatever it's called :) |
| 18:33.03 | KaylaKaze | I've got my maemo 2.2 dev environment all set up, but in the SDK emulator sort of thing, the submenus (like tools and extras) don't work (they pop up for a few microseconds, then close). Has anyone heard of this issue before and know of a solution? |
| 18:33.14 | pupnik | somewhere there is a 'view log' button, but i don't have it in front of me right now |
| 18:33.43 | Brenduh | got it |
| 18:34.20 | pupnik | i haven't seen that KaylaKaze ... but you can also run programs from the command line in the SDK, and they will start up -- you just won't have the window manager |
| 18:34.40 | pupnik | Brenduh: it should tell you the name of the missing package near the bottom |
| 18:35.06 | Brenduh | couldn't stat sour package list http:/idefix.go-nix.ca packages (/var/lib/apt/usr/bin/dpkg-deb -f /var/tmp/pidgin_2.0.0-lnix2_armel.deb |
| 18:35.11 | Brenduh | then four failed messages |
| 18:35.20 | Brenduh | sour = source |
| 18:35.23 | KaylaKaze | do I run commandline stuff just by typing it in to scratchbox while the SDK is running? |
| 18:35.54 | pupnik | KaylaKaze: yeah. of course Xephyr has to be running, and your display environment variable set correctly |
| 18:36.00 | KaylaKaze | yeah |

| 18:50.38 | ttuttle | pupnik: Does it add any major features? |
| 18:50.45 | ttuttle | Oh, and how much of the hardware on the N770 is stupidly closed? |

| 18:50.58 | KaylaKaze | this isn't good. no cascasding menus in any maemo program work in my sdk |

| 18:52.39 | ttuttle | Okay. |
| 18:52.45 | Brenduh | well pooh, the program works but when I click 'connect' i get "missing protocol plugin |
| 18:53.02 | ttuttle | So the only real purpose of hacker OS2007 is to test stuff on the N770 that will run on the N800? |
| 18:54.25 | pupnik | some members of the community started screaming and hollering when nokia said they wouldn't provide an OS upgrade to 2006, so they released a semi-finished OS (2007) for the hackers who demanded it |
| 18:54.37 | ||cw | ttuttle: the "not everything works and some things will crash" warning on hacker ed are enough to keep me away. I want to USE mine, not just play with the OS |
| 18:55.04 | ttuttle | pupnik: Ah. I assume Nokia isn't going to finish it for them? |
| 18:55.14 | ||cw | maybe if they get really board |
| 18:55.20 | ||cw | bored? |
| 18:55.36 | ttuttle | pupnik: I'm sorta disappointed. I expected a Linux-powered device to be relatively open, but I'm finding that all of the fun N770 hardware is accessed in a non-standard way by proprietary binaries. |
| 18:55.42 | pupnik | I'm using it, and i am having fun with it. But i have to mix apps from 2006 and 2007 to get them working |
| 18:55.46 | ||cw | I'm sure nokia will accept patches though, and release an update eventually |
| 18:55.55 | pupnik | ttuttle: can't be helped. hardware manufacturers forced that |
| 18:56.16 | ttuttle | pupnik: /me grumbles. |
| 18:56.17 | KaylaKaze | it was workign fine in the 3.1 sdk :-( |
| 18:56.20 | ttuttle | ||cw: Really? |
| 18:57.03 | ||cw | ttuttle: eventualy could be a very long time, but why wouldn't they accept patches? |
| 18:57.13 | ttuttle | ||cw: Because they have better things to do, like make new products. |
| 18:57.15 | pupnik | ttuttle: it rules. i never ported apps before in my life and i've been having so much fun with maemo + scratchbox. |
| 18:57.24 | ttuttle | ||cw: I would wonder why they *would* accept patches. |
| 18:57.31 | ttuttle | ||cw: Why take responsibility for something you can ignore? |

| 19:09.39 | qgil | ttuttle: maemo and the tablets are relatively open: 90% of the code is open source |
| 19:10.10 | konttori | unique311: why don't you use gstreamer? |

| 19:11.54 | ttuttle | qgil: Okay, I'm looking at the os2007on770 page. It says that osso-interaction-server, ke-recv, mediaplayer-daemon, mediaplayer-ui, osso-mediaengine, metalayer-crawler, osso-hss-control, libmediaplayer, osso-mvi, osso-browser,opera-{adapter,eal,dynamic}, osso-ic, osso-dsp-modules-rx-34, bt-firmware, and gstreamer-hantro are all closed. |

| 19:15.16 | qgil | ttuttle: Nokia is a company that invests resources in an applications like the media player. Nokia thinks that the right way to release that software that has created is not with a free license. You might disagree, but this is not a stupid argumen t |

| 19:18.29 | ttuttle | qgil: This page http://maemo.org/community/wiki/enablemic/ says it's not. |

| 19:19.51 | rhys | ive looked at canola |
| 19:20.01 | konttori | unique311: yeah, I had a look at the screenshots. |
| 19:20.04 | sxpert | qgil, they could have evolved the license(s) over time for the appropriate bits, I suppose |
| 19:20.04 | rhys | nokias media player isn OSS/ |
| 19:20.05 | rhys | ? |
| 19:20.19 | nomis | rhys: codecs licensed by the respective owners. |

| 19:20.38 | sxpert | zuh, hah, well :D |
| 19:20.38 | nomis | rhys: i.e. people you can have a contract with. |
| 19:20.41 | qgil | look, the general principle now is that platform components need to be open whenever possible and shared with the community and even competitors while... |
| 19:21.10 | zuh | sxpert: And as a bonus I can actually listen to / watch formats not officially supported :P |
| 19:21.23 | qgil | Nokia builds the competitive advantage on great hardware and cool applications/services people love and want to have in their hands - the latter can be open or closed |
| 19:21.24 | KaylaKaze | I jsut wish I coudl figure out why my SDK won't work right! grr! I don't know if it's a SDK thing or an Ubuntu thing. 3.1 seemed to work fine, ut I'e had to reinstall ubuntu since I installed that. |
| 19:21.33 | nomis | rhys: the other thing is that I strongly suspect that mplayers code quality sucks. |
| 19:21.43 | ttuttle | qgil: What about the mic thing? |
| 19:21.57 | qgil | sxpert opening sourc code is not just about relicensing |
| 19:22.02 | rhys | i love mplayer on my main machine.. |
| 19:22.18 | ttuttle | sxpert: qgil is right. It's gotta be release-quality, and free of company secrets. |
| 19:22.31 | ||cw | mplayer is awesome, and mencoder as well |
| 19:22.32 | qgil | sxpert you need to work in your code to make it usable in an open source way, you need to document mor and better, you need to be prepared to receive contributions and have a community around it |
| 19:23.09 | rhys | about the microphone, how does gizmo work then? |
| 19:23.10 | qgil | sxpert all this extra work is sometimes justified (see the current email client versus the modest email client that is coming) |
| 19:23.12 | ttuttle | qgil: What about the mic thing. |
| 19:23.15 | ||cw | ttuttle: IT2006 has the mic driver |
| 19:23.22 | ttuttle | ||cw: Is it open source? |
| 19:23.30 | qgil | but in some other cases... well, there are priorities and not time/money to push everything at the same time |
| 19:23.31 | ||cw | i don't really care, it works |
| 19:23.35 | ttuttle | ||cw: Okay. |
| 19:23.40 | ttuttle | ||cw: What framework does it use? |
| 19:23.40 | qgil | if the closed media player bothers you, just install another one |
| 19:23.53 | qgil | the mic thing |
| 19:23.58 | ||cw | ttuttle: whatever the rest of the tablet uses i imagne |
| 19:24.00 | ttuttle | qgil: Okay, the media player thing is fine with me. I understand. |

| 19:24.44 | ttuttle | qgil: Is the tablet accessed directly in X or in GTK? |
| 19:24.45 | rhys | nomis, for once, the ignorance of GUIs is bliss. |
| 19:25.04 | qgil | mmm well, I don't know the exact details, I would prefer that you ask in maemo-developers so the right people can answer |
| 19:25.18 | ttuttle | qgil: About the mic thing? |
| 19:25.24 | nomis | rhys: I just take that as hints that the code is mediocre. |
| 19:25.36 | qgil | however, isn't this rlated to the DSP thing? |
| 19:25.52 | ttuttle | qgil: What? The mic thing? No. I'm talking about just plain audio input, like with ALSA. |

| 19:28.33 | qgil | well, the main way Nokia has approached open source development is to contirbute directly upstream or push whole components also in upstream |
| 19:28.37 | rhys | gonna play with that eventually. |

| 19:36.13 | qgil | ttuttle: 1. alignment with th Linux desktop and upstream projects is core part of our strategy |

| 19:37.23 | pupnik | qgil: are the intel MID devices using and improving maemo, or just forking/stealing code? |
| 19:37.25 | rhys | qgil, is there OpenOffice functionality for maemo? as in a "documentstogo" kinda app? |

| 19:37.59 | ttuttle | qgil: How much support is there at Nokia for keeping up support for the N770? |

| 19:38.49 | ttuttle | qgil: I mean I'm sure someone will always be there to support it on their own, but it's much better if it has support in terms of resources. |
| 19:38.49 | keesj | Daniellion: did you see the evas demo? |
| 19:39.01 | qgil | ttuttle: http://desdeamericaconamor.org/blog/node/356 - a comment at the end says that we are on holidays and all what we said was blah bla, but I can tell this is not true |
| 19:39.38 | rhys | what is evas? |
| 19:39.42 | Daniellion | evas demo? |
| 19:39.43 | rhys | i know its part of e17 |
| 19:39.46 | Daniellion | link? |
| 19:40.02 | rhys | and they plan to port all their stuff to embedded, or are making it scale very very well.. |
| 19:40.04 | keesj | eves this !! http://www.rasterman.com/ |
| 19:40.11 | rhys | i just didnt understand what the demo showed |
| 19:40.20 | qgil | following http://planet.maemo.org is another good advice to i.e. see all those cool demos |
| 19:40.58 | keesj | even |
| 19:41.19 | rhys | so it will run full e17 |
| 19:41.46 | qgil | ok, speaking of GNOME I need to go and give a littl push to the new website - http://gnome.jardigrec.eu (this is /me by night, sometimes) |
| 19:41.48 | keesj | no, but evas it pretty far I would say |
| 19:43.14 | keesj | rhys: what part did you not understand? ( http://blog.gustavobarbieri.com.br/2007/06/23/edje-demo-on-n800-application-launcher-mockup/ ) here is the url |
| 19:43.40 | rhys | keesj, what part of e17 is evas? |
| 19:44.52 | keesj | evas is a canvas, that is used a lot in e. |
| 19:45.14 | KaylaKaze | screw it. I'm gonna install 3.1 and see if THAT one works |
| 19:45.24 | keesj | THe idea is that you describe the behaviour/animations much like flash I would say , only cooler :p |
| 19:45.57 | keesj | apparently rasterman has the e desktop running, only also he does not know how to enable the keyboard thing / |
| 19:46.22 | pupnik | well ubuntu 'stole' from debian in the sense of using it as a base, making a fork and not backporting developments to debian |
| 19:46.38 | keesj | for me this is clearly the e desktop http://www.rasterman.com/files/e17-n800-2.jpg |
| 19:46.47 | rhys | so like the vx9700 (i think), its a cellphone that runs its menu and UI entirely on adobe flash. so..evas is like the flash environ where you can make a UI? |
| 19:47.07 | dragorn | rhys: evas is a compositing/render environment |
| 19:47.24 | rhys | so yes. |
| 19:47.47 | dragorn | Sort of. It's kinda-sorta-handwavey like XGL/XComposite/Cairo all rolled up |
| 19:47.55 | keesj | there is also some scripting (edje) but that I did not understand |
| 19:48.00 | dragorn | if i recall from years ago when I looked at it |

| 20:24.59 | m-vo | I agree that if Nokia is to benefit from opening the code, a community is needed, but the code must be open first before the community can appear. |

| 20:43.30 | suihkulokki | qgil: sure :) but I mean communications such as: https://maemo.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=474 |
| 20:44.54 | qgil | suihkulokki: thre Maemo QA is answering you in 2006 and I'm answering you in 2007 - isn't this an improvement in terms of real persons? ;) |
| 20:45.58 | qgil | well, not "you", but anyway |
| 20:48.07 | qgil | suihkulokki: this situation will probably/hopefully improve even more with the bugs.maemo.org components reorg and maintainers we are pushing slowli slowly (but I think firmly), as said befor with "I'm working behind the scenes to make sure developers like you pay more attention to bugs.maemo.org..." |

| 20:57.53 | keesj | is the tranparent xterm keyboard still avaiable somewhere? |
| 20:58.20 | pupnik | is that readable/> |
| 20:59.01 | keesj | :p no it's tranparent |
| 21:02.09 | KaylaKaze | alright, I got a cascading memu tester program and it doesn't work so hopefully running it with debugging will help |
| 21:03.37 | pupnik | does anybody know if there's a 2.2 scratchbox+maemo vmware image for download that KaylaKaze could try? |
| 21:03.42 | KaylaKaze | and it won't debug :-( |
| 21:03.47 | KaylaKaze | I think there is |
| 21:04.30 | pupnik | i'm trying to guess what it could be |
| 21:04.47 | pupnik | when you log into scratchbox, do you see any error messages? |
| 21:04.51 | KaylaKaze | no |
| 21:05.15 | pupnik | if you run standalone programs, do they work? |
| 21:05.28 | KaylaKaze | the only error messages I get are from Xephyr saying it's removing a couple fonts from the list. I thought that may be the problem at first, except, in that split second the submenu comes up, I can see that it's rendering the text fine |
| 21:05.41 | KaylaKaze | standalone as in what? |

| 21:07.01 | keesj | can somebody try to download the text input these on the n800? on my device it gets pretty large |
| 21:07.48 | m-vo | KaylaKaze, sounds like the infamous "invisible window" bug: IIRC matchbox will immediately close the menu under certain circumstances, such as when there is a special toplevel window somewhere. |
| 21:07.54 | keesj | here is the url http://maemo.org/intro/presentations/text_input_on_mobile_devices-master-s_thesis_document.html |
| 21:08.08 | m-vo | I don't have any details, sorry. |
| 21:08.42 | keesj | and it's a different size every time! i will file a bug I guess |
| 21:09.36 | KaylaKaze | I'm tryign to find that vmware file |

| 21:21.40 | KaylaKaze | yeah, that's the one I've got on d/l |
| 21:23.33 | gwak__ | does anyone know if that vmware/qemu image requires PAE? |
| 21:24.00 | keesj | what is PAE? |
| 21:25.46 | gwak__ | "Physical Address Extension" and some kernels require it to boot |
| 21:26.14 | gwak__ | my Pentium M chip does not have this feature i guess |
| 21:26.52 | KaylaKaze | a VMWare image is a virtual machine |
| 21:26.55 | keesj | qemu does not need that |
| 21:27.04 | KaylaKaze | it doesn't care what hardware you're on |
| 21:27.17 | KaylaKaze | (as long as it's powerful enough) |
| 21:27.22 | keesj | perhaps very recent version that use the now open sourced kqemu |
| 21:27.40 | pupnik | it requires x86 :) |
| 21:28.09 | gwak__ | hmm, because when i try to boot the vmware image from here:http://linuxtracker.org/torrents-details.php?id=3468 |
| 21:29.08 | keesj | it's getting pretty crazy , sbox in a VMWare |
| 21:29.23 | KaylaKaze | why's that crazy? |
| 21:29.31 | gwak__ | it refuses to boot in vmware player with the message:Unkown interrupt or Fault ... |
| 21:29.43 | pupnik | gwak__: is right about PAE |
| 21:30.40 | keesj | not crazy , just a lot of work |
| 21:31.02 | pupnik | it saves work by letting people get started without scratchbox setup |
| 21:31.03 | KaylaKaze | how so? |
| 21:31.08 | gwak__ | its better if i learn about the toolchain first hand |
| 21:31.27 | KaylaKaze | I meant that to keesj, btw |
| 21:31.35 | keesj | KaylaKaze: not for users, for creating such tools. |

| 21:32.54 | KaylaKaze | I pretty much would have that now, if it was working right |
| 21:33.15 | KaylaKaze | thought 3.1 seemed to work fine yesterday |
| 21:33.19 | KaylaKaze | though* |
| 21:33.36 | KaylaKaze | but I haven't tried 3.1 again since reinstalling ubuntu |
| 21:36.05 | keesj | I installed ubuntu(festy) desktop for the first time I my life a few day's ago. I now have maemo 2.2 and 3.1 installed, the only real new problem for me was the dns that was not working |
| 21:36.12 | guardian | what's the relationship between vmware and qemu anyway ? |
| 21:36.35 | guardian | lately i saw threads on ubuntu forums saying that you need to install qemu to have winxp run inside a vmware player (running on ubuntu) |
| 21:36.42 | guardian | however i never needed qemu |
| 21:36.49 | KaylaKaze | keesj: yeah, I had that problem at first |
| 21:36.54 | KaylaKaze | but fixed it no prob |
| 21:37.41 | keesj | guardian: I think there is no relation between them |
