| 00:09.53 | lcuk_2 | if i install directly from a .deb on the filesystem, it wont be listed in the updatable apps will it? |
| 00:10.58 | czr | it won't |
| 00:11.18 | czr | unless a repo will provide a newer version of the same package |
| 00:11.41 | czr | lcuk_2, same if you would just install a .deb with dpkg -i in normal debian-based distro |
| 00:12.18 | LinuxCode | wtf |
| 00:12.20 | LinuxCode | what sucks |

| 00:12.54 | lcuk_2 | that means a lot - i am not a linux ninja. i am just starting |
| 00:13.43 | czr | LinuxCode, why would it suck? |
| 00:13.53 | czr | how would apt know which place to search for the new package? |
| 00:14.10 | LinuxCode | are you telling me if you install stuff via dpkg it wont stick it in the package database ? |
| 00:14.15 | czr | it will |
| 00:14.19 | LinuxCode | ok |
| 00:14.23 | czr | that wasn't the question I think |
| 00:14.23 | LinuxCode | then i misunderstood |
| 00:14.27 | LinuxCode | sorry |
| 00:14.31 | czr | maybe I did, lcuk_2? |
| 00:14.50 | LinuxCode | so lets be clear |
| 00:14.57 | czr | lcuk_2, dpkg is the command line tool to install packages :-). -i = install from .deb file. so something like dpkg -i foobar.deb |
| 00:15.07 | LinuxCode | lcuk_2, if you dpkg -i xxx.deb. it keeps the package name in the database |
| 00:15.16 | lcuk_2 | ive had a problem with auto updating app, i am manually installing the older version and posting a bug fix if it works, but i want the app to auto update after they fix it |
| 00:15.27 | lcuk_2 | yes i think it is because its listed for uninstall |
| 00:15.31 | LinuxCode | lcuk_2, use apt-get |
| 00:15.41 | LinuxCode | the Nxxxupdater sucks |
| 00:15.41 | czr | lcuk_2, that should be fine if you install the fixed version from a repo later |
| 00:15.51 | lcuk_2 | can i get a specific version with apt-get? |
| 00:16.01 | LinuxCode | that I do not know |
| 00:16.02 | czr | assuming that the specific version is available in the repo, yes |
| 00:16.10 | LinuxCode | now thats a good feature |
| 00:16.14 | lcuk_2 | from the looks of things its not... |
| 00:16.15 | czr | but normally older versions are removed automatically when a new version is released |
| 00:16.17 | LinuxCode | wish yum had that |
| 00:16.46 | czr | at least AFAIR, haven't installed specific versions for ages |
| 00:16.48 | lcuk_2 | ive got 2/3 of the dependents it lists (by using google cache to get the filenames and used their tree) |
| 00:16.53 | czr | but I seem to remember that it works quite ok |
| 00:17.03 | lcuk_2 | they are stupid, they have obsolete versions listed, but the last few are gone |
| 00:17.12 | lcuk_2 | CHOCOLATE |

| 00:41.06 | czr | why would anyone care whether linux users are men or female anyway? |
| 00:42.01 | LinuxCode | czr, I do because it means the more equal the percentage of users is...the more mainstream it will be |
| 00:42.05 | pupnik | because women who use linux are cool |
| 00:42.19 | LinuxCode | czr, I also want kids to use it |
| 00:42.28 | czr | LinuxCode, no. the ratio of users using linux versus other systems is the only factor that decides whether it's mainstream or not. |
| 00:42.30 | LinuxCode | kids is probably more important than any adult |
| 00:42.39 | LinuxCode | czr, agreed |
| 00:42.43 | lcuk_2 | i keep scaring my eldest by threating to put linux on his DS |
| 00:42.53 | czr | heh |
| 00:42.53 | LinuxCode | but if theres an equal percentage it means its closer ot being mainstream |

| 00:43.41 | zerojay | There's more women than you think. |
| 00:43.45 | lcuk_2 | mainstream != equal male/female participation |

| 00:44.14 | LinuxCode | its better for the work environment too |
| 00:44.22 | zerojay | Just that so many women get hit on like crazy when they out themselves because of other guys going "OOOH, SHE LIKES LINUX, LET ME SEE IF SHE WILL TOUCH MY LEELEE" that they don't want to bother. |

| 00:45.05 | czr | I always blame the parents |
| 00:46.00 | czr | when I started my polytech thingy, there was 32 of us. 2 women. |
| 00:46.12 | czr | and that's more or less the ratio that the program had for most years |
| 00:46.19 | zerojay | And I bet those two were constantly hit on. |
| 00:46.31 | czr | zerojay, well. only one actually. |
| 00:46.50 | LinuxCode | czr, tbh i think that ratio still applies |
| 00:46.50 | zerojay | The other one was hitting on that one too then. :) |
| 00:46.51 | LinuxCode | ;-| |
| 00:47.02 | czr | zerojay, I doubt it :-) |
| 00:47.22 | lcuk_2 | one of the women might have been called derek if she had enrolled the year before |

| 00:58.26 | zerojay | It does it automatically. |
| 00:58.44 | zerojay | If you have it set to connect automatically. |
| 00:59.13 | benno2__ | zerojay: thanks, where can I set the connection autostart in OS2008 ? |
| 00:59.28 | zerojay | It's not really connect on boot. |
| 00:59.40 | zerojay | But it will try to connect once it boots up. |
| 00:59.57 | lcuk_2 | benno, click the connection notification icon and click "connectivity settings" |
| 01:00.01 | zerojay | Yep. |
| 01:00.54 | benno2__ | thanks I already have connect automatically WLAN connections |
| 01:00.56 | benno2__ | but it does not work |
| 01:01.03 | zerojay | It does. |
| 01:01.13 | lcuk_2 | whats search interval |
| 01:01.19 | lcuk_2 | is it never? |
| 01:01.28 | benno2__ | I have vnc started in the real_af_init_script, at the end of script. but it says cannot connect. |
| 01:01.32 | benno2__ | search interval 10min |
| 01:01.34 | zerojay | Yeah, if you have it set to never, it won't connect. |
| 01:01.48 | zerojay | Well, it should connect sometime between boot and 10 minutes later then. |
| 01:02.43 | benno2__ | I need it immediately because I have a vnc client which opens the screen immediately |
| 01:02.58 | zerojay | You'll have to work it out yourself then. |
| 01:03.01 | j0tt | anyone managed to build a glx enabled xserver for os2008 (mesa)? |
| 01:03.06 | lcuk_2 | does an application have to inform osso if it wants internet or should accessing an address attempt to connect |
| 01:03.35 | zerojay | j0tt: You want to run a glx enabled X on a tablet that has no 3d acceleration? |
| 01:03.39 | benno2__ | zerojay: under OS 2006 I called source /usr/bin/connectivity_preload.sh and afterwards vncviewer and it worked well. now on OS2008 connectivity_preload.sh is missing |
| 01:03.47 | j0tt | zerojay: yes! :) |
| 01:04.00 | zerojay | benno2__: Maybe a dbus call will do it. |
| 01:04.07 | zerojay | j0tt: You like slideshows? |
| 01:04.51 | j0tt | zerojay: i don't want to play quake 3, but do some mathematical visualizations. |

| 01:05.50 | benno2__ | zerojay: thanks. is this dbus stuff documented ? |
| 01:06.05 | zerojay | benno2__: Look in the SDK and dev materials. |
| 01:06.11 | benno2__ | thanks |
| 01:06.22 | zerojay | j0tt: What's your idea of "low"? |
| 01:06.40 | j0tt | 0.25-5 fps |
| 01:06.54 | zerojay | You'd be lucky if you got even that much. |
| 01:06.56 | dragorn | you'd probably be much better off with a software gl lib |
| 01:07.06 | dragorn | mesa in sw mode or something should be completely plausible |
| 01:07.28 | j0tt | a glx enabled xserver without hw accelration is mesa sw mode :) |
| 01:07.50 | czr | well, you can also use mesa-sw directly |
| 01:07.54 | czr | not bothering the X server at all |
| 01:08.01 | j0tt | i could indeed.. |
| 01:08.12 | czr | probably easier in your case |
| 01:08.13 | dragorn | j0tt: But it isn't. Well, ok, maybe I lie. A server configured for HW accel which falls back to SW is typically significantly slower than a server configured for pure sw |
| 01:08.21 | j0tt | but ITs are there to "bother" :) |
| 01:08.25 | dragorn | but that may be an artifact of the hw drivers of whatever kind I was dealing with |
| 01:10.04 | jott | i think it should not be that hard to get this running.. for now i only get the http://xkcd.org/371/ :) |

| 02:26.20 | LinuxCode | tbh anything beyond 8GB..I wouldnt know what ya would need more for |
| 02:26.46 | LinuxCode | Xamusk, not my money |
| 02:26.53 | LinuxCode | Xamusk, your decision to make |
| 02:26.59 | Xamusk | indeed |
| 02:27.05 | LinuxCode | just saying tha I played with both..and bought a N810 |
| 02:27.15 | LinuxCode | and Im more than happy |
| 02:27.28 | LinuxCode | I will be over the moon when my build environment is up |
| 02:27.37 | LinuxCode | and i have had a chance to check out fedoras progress |

| 02:28.01 | LinuxCode | GeneralAntilles, mine is 1TB |
| 02:28.04 | LinuxCode | lol |
| 02:28.12 | ryoohki | GeneralAntilles: huh? |
| 02:28.18 | LinuxCode | I dont need to drag 1TB os music around with me |
| 02:28.22 | LinuxCode | of |
| 02:28.23 | GeneralAntilles | How can you not see what you would use more than 8GB of storage for? |
| 02:28.24 | Xamusk | so, as the cost of the ipaq is nearer to the n800, I'm considering those two |
| 02:28.36 | GeneralAntilles | WinMob sucks, Xamusk. |
| 02:28.39 | ryoohki | does the n810 have twice the ram as the n800? a faster cpu? the same video camera? |
| 02:28.40 | LinuxCode | GeneralAntilles, id use my old ipod |

| 02:29.26 | Xamusk | GeneralAntilles, I know, but there are some things to consider |
| 02:29.31 | Xamusk | I was a palm user till now |
| 02:29.41 | Xamusk | but I specially like reading ebooks |
| 02:29.48 | ryoohki | i have a 16gb sd card - it was cheap and i see 32gb cf cards for cheap too |
| 02:29.49 | GeneralAntilles | I've got about 4GB of ebooks. |
| 02:30.01 | LinuxCode | [1]a-l-p-h-a, Ive got a N810 |
| 02:30.03 | Xamusk | oh, my collection is much smaller |
| 02:30.03 | lcuk_2 | but can you read them at the same time? |
| 02:30.09 | LinuxCode | but I also have them + one other |
| 02:30.16 | LinuxCode | but thats a disc module im sure |
| 02:30.28 | Xamusk | but anyway, I need to know how the battery goes for book reading |
| 02:30.29 | lcuk_2 | i have vnc for when my mobile library does not cope |
| 02:30.42 | GeneralAntilles | Xamusk, like, forever. |
| 02:30.42 | LinuxCode | lcuk_2, rsync |
| 02:30.42 | Xamusk | and I must have a good calendar with alarm |
| 02:30.44 | LinuxCode | ;-D |
| 02:30.47 | LinuxCode | <3 rsync |
| 02:30.52 | lcuk_2 | xam, i read every night |
| 02:30.57 | GeneralAntilles | Just stick to regular charging cycles |
| 02:31.06 | GeneralAntilles | You'd probably get 10 hours out of it reading an ebook at low brightness |
| 02:31.10 | LinuxCode | Xamusk, the battery is awesome |
| 02:31.22 | Xamusk | not that I really need to sync the calendar to my desktop, but I must be able to write to it fast and it must have an alarm |
| 02:31.25 | LinuxCode | I was on wireless + display on for at least 4 hours yesterday |
| 02:31.28 | ryoohki | the need to make a iscsi over bluetooth low power 500gb hd drive for peoples backpacks |
| 02:31.40 | Xamusk | and I read that the n800's calendar sucks |
| 02:31.53 | lcuk_2 | but google's |
| 02:31.56 | LinuxCode | Xamusk, N810 didnt have a calendar |
| 02:31.57 | GeneralAntilles | ryoohki, sounds like a good way to ruin an HD |
| 02:31.57 | lcuk_2 | shit missed |
| 02:32.03 | LinuxCode | Xamusk, installed gpe..im happy now |

| 02:32.23 | LinuxCode | adn as I said...gpe is syncable with evolution |
| 02:32.43 | LinuxCode | just have to set the password for the user so it can ssh in |
| 02:32.46 | Xamusk | GPE used to be a whole OS... do I have to overwrite nokia's os? |
| 02:33.00 | GeneralAntilles | ryoohki, you'd have to do something like that with solid-state. |
| 02:33.01 | Xamusk | or I just add it's packages? |
| 02:33.18 | GeneralAntilles | It's just 5 applications. |
| 02:33.52 | lcuk_2 | bois, bootloader, kernel, shell, calendar ;) |

| 02:38.07 | dospod | any devs in here? |
| 02:38.26 | GeneralAntilles | dospod, the better strategy is to just ask your question. :P |
| 02:38.44 | LinuxCode | GeneralAntilles, that was his question |

| 02:39.03 | LinuxCode | ;-D |
| 02:39.04 | dospod | ok well i saw some kid playing a tycoon game on his ipod touch |
| 02:39.07 | dospod | and it looked stable |
| 02:39.18 | dospod | so i looked up ipod touch homebrew |
| 02:39.24 | dospod | and I found the site of the game he wa splaying |
| 02:39.34 | dospod | and I was wondering why nobody else has ported it to maemo |
| 02:39.44 | dospod | http://zodttd.com/wp/?p=21 homebrew page |
| 02:39.46 | GeneralAntilles | Because porting games takes time and energy? |
| 02:39.49 | dospod | game was running smooth |
| 02:39.59 | dospod | ipod touch has been out less time than the n800 |
| 02:40.03 | GeneralAntilles | OpenTTD has been ported. |
| 02:40.13 | dospod | seriously? |
| 02:40.23 | GeneralAntilles | It was running on the 770. |
| 02:40.27 | dospod | ok |
| 02:40.29 | dospod | but uhm |
| 02:40.35 | GeneralAntilles | There's a thread on ITT. |
| 02:40.42 | dospod | what about os 2008 or os 2007 |
| 02:40.43 | GeneralAntilles | I haven't bothered to try it since the 770. |
| 02:40.45 | GeneralAntilles | Ran fine on there. |
| 02:40.56 | lcuk_2 | slower gfx on 8x0 tho isnt it |
| 02:41.08 | GeneralAntilles | dospod, try freeciv if you're jonesing. |
| 02:41.11 | pupnik | only for high framerate games, not strategy/sims |
| 02:41.32 | GeneralAntilles | lcuk_2, the N8x0 can run Quake, the 770 can't. ;) |
| 02:41.50 | LinuxCode | also doom |
| 02:41.50 | dospod | is freeciv stable? |
| 02:41.51 | pupnik | lcuk_2: i run quake on 770 |
| 02:41.52 | GeneralAntilles | Well, not well, anyway. |
| 02:41.55 | LinuxCode | I played doom |
| 02:42.00 | GeneralAntilles | Works fine over here, dospod. |
| 02:42.01 | LinuxCode | bit odd to play but it works |
| 02:42.04 | GeneralAntilles | There's a thread on ITT. |
| 02:42.04 | LinuxCode | ;-D |
| 02:42.04 | lcuk_2 | doom runs well on 810 |
| 02:42.15 | LinuxCode | freeciv ? |
| 02:42.17 | dospod | are you on os 2008? |
| 02:42.19 | GeneralAntilles | The controls for Quake on the N8x0 are really good. |

| 02:42.50 | GeneralAntilles | Better than a damn DS |
| 02:43.22 | Xamusk | by the way, that's another thing to consider: the iPaq has a faster processor than the N8x0 |
| 02:43.55 | pupnik | xscale? |
| 02:44.07 | lcuk_2 | ipaq is using *sob* 3d hardware (xscale+powervr) as well i gather... |
| 02:44.26 | pupnik | yes but those xscales are an older ARM core than the OMAP2420's |
| 02:44.32 | GeneralAntilles | Xamusk, WinMob is the worst. |

| 02:45.10 | LinuxCode | you cant directly compare Lhz to Mhz |
| 02:45.17 | GeneralAntilles | ^ |
| 02:45.43 | Xamusk | it's triple the clock, but clock is never a good comparison between different processors |
| 02:45.54 | GeneralAntilles | Triple? |
| 02:46.02 | GeneralAntilles | Where'd you get that number? |
| 02:46.22 | elb | triple, *1.3, whatever ;-) |

| 02:47.04 | Xamusk | x2? |
| 02:47.08 | LinuxCode | x2 = double |
| 02:47.09 | GeneralAntilles | "double" |

| 02:47.18 | elb | oh, the n810 is only 400? |
| 02:47.24 | GeneralAntilles | Xamusk, it's 400MHz |
| 02:47.26 | elb | I thought it was 4-something |
| 02:47.29 | Xamusk | I don't remember from where I was thinking about 200Mhz |
| 02:47.31 | jott | ceil(624/400); ;-) |
| 02:47.32 | GeneralAntilles | They have the same damn CPU. |
| 02:47.35 | LinuxCode | elb, 401Mhz |

| 02:47.50 | LinuxCode | lol |
| 02:47.50 | LinuxCode | j/k |
| 02:47.56 | Xamusk | the 800 is 330Mhz |
| 02:47.56 | GeneralAntilles | The 800 is 400MHz |
| 02:47.56 | LinuxCode | wrong |
| 02:47.57 | elb | Xamusk: no, it's the same as the n810 |
| 02:47.57 | GeneralAntilles | You want to argue with me about this? :P |
| 02:47.57 | LinuxCode | 400 |
| 02:47.57 | dospod | i thought the 800 is 400mhz |
| 02:48.17 | Xamusk | then someone must change the wikipedia article |
| 02:48.17 | LinuxCode | dospod, correct |
| 02:48.17 | lcuk_2 | if an 800 is 400 then why are there wookies on endor? |

| 02:49.04 | dospod | what pupnik said is what i heard |

| 02:49.34 | dospod | ship it with 233 clock speed but allowed it to go full speed if needed to at 333mhz |
| 02:49.34 | penguinbait | no it didnt |
| 02:49.48 | lcuk_2 | remember, the 330 to 400 mhz jump LOWERED the speed of the dsp |
| 02:49.51 | pupnik | right |
| 02:49.58 | lcuk_2 | its swings and roundabouts |
| 02:50.02 | dospod | as in they both underclocked cpu on purpose |
| 02:50.12 | pupnik | it's part of OMAP's dynamic clocking / power handling capability |
| 02:50.24 | Xamusk | Processor: OMAP2420 microprocessor at 330 MHz. Underclocked, runs at the native 400 Mhz with the latest (2008) fimware upgrade.(DSP speed will be halved) |
| 02:51.10 | lcuk_2 | they must have decided that the dsp needed more grunt on os2007, but come os2008 and the 810 the CPU speed was more important whilst the DSP was underused |
| 02:51.13 | pupnik | i love these old bad movies on publicdomaintorrents.com |

| 02:51.35 | GeneralAntilles | It scales between 165MHz to 400MHz |
| 02:51.39 | GeneralAntilles | For the CPU |
| 02:51.46 | GeneralAntilles | DSP scales with it |
| 02:51.51 | Xamusk | GeneralAntilles, is that configurable? |
| 02:52.02 | GeneralAntilles | For highly-intensive DSP tasks, the CPU will run at 330MHz |
| 02:52.08 | GeneralAntilles | allowing the DSP to run at full speed. |
| 02:52.17 | elb | it's all about power management |
| 02:52.31 | Xamusk | GeneralAntilles, I was thinking about underclocking everything to improve battery life |
| 02:52.32 | GeneralAntilles | Xamusk, it's not something you need to worry about. |
| 02:52.40 | GeneralAntilles | It's called "race to idle" Xamusk. |
| 02:52.50 | lcuk_2 | yer, which is why we cannot speed down the motorway with our stereos on - we either go slowly and have it loud or speed up quietly ;) |
| 02:52.51 | GeneralAntilles | The N8x0 knows what it's doing. |
| 02:52.56 | elb | Xamusk: for the most part, you don't want to do that, because of the way processors consume power |
| 02:53.28 | Xamusk | because when I had my palm m100 I could get one week without changing batteries and I have to recharge my TX after one day |
| 02:53.45 | elb | Xamusk: you want to cut your processor speed to a level that balances speed transitions with making clock speed available for tasks which need it |
| 02:53.47 | GeneralAntilles | A task will take more time to complete at a lower clock cycle, and basically consume the same amount of power as if the task were completed sooner at a faster clock cycle. |
| 02:54.14 | GeneralAntilles | M100 didn't have a backlight . . . |
| 02:54.23 | elb | on the ARM, clock transitions are probably less painful than on more complicated processors, but still |
| 02:54.25 | lcuk_2 | right, im goin snoozin, nite |
| 02:54.34 | LinuxCode | nn mate |
| 02:55.08 | elb | Xamusk: and with the Palm, keep in mind that they are *aggressively* shut down, regardless of clock speed |
| 02:55.17 | elb | the display is most of their power drain under normal operating conditions |
| 02:55.20 | Xamusk | :) |
| 02:55.35 | elb | when you're sitting there looking at your schedule or whatever, the processor could be completely asleep and powered down |
| 02:55.41 | ryoohki | the largest minisd i could find was 8gb. anyone hear of any larger than 8gb? are they making 32gb sdhc cards yet? |
| 02:55.47 | Xamusk | indeed, but the n800 does have a backlight, and that's why I'm concerned with battery life |
| 02:56.05 | GeneralAntilles | I get 4-5 hours heavy use |
| 02:56.13 | GeneralAntilles | idles for about 5 days with wifi |

| 02:57.02 | zerojay | Maybe 2-3 if i'm lucky. |
| 02:57.37 | elb | GeneralAntilles: would "light use" include, for example, simply reading a document? |
| 02:57.50 | Xamusk | I want a lot of time on, without wifi, basically to read |
| 02:57.50 | GeneralAntilles | Yes. |

| 02:58.40 | GeneralAntilles | Eh, I prefer backlight level 1 without any other lights on. |
| 02:59.10 | [1]a-l-p-h-a | LinuxCode, power plugged in causes no sound. |
| 02:59.26 | elb | well, we'll see what I prefer when the device actually arrives |
| 02:59.34 | Xamusk | by the way, I've read that n8x0 won't charge by the usb cable |
| 02:59.39 | Xamusk | is this real? |
| 02:59.40 | elb | like I said, I'm *hoping* to be happy with reflected light |
| 02:59.44 | GeneralAntilles | I don't think the transflective is gonna cut it without sun-level lighting. |
| 02:59.51 | GeneralAntilles | Xamusk, yes. |
| 02:59.59 | Xamusk | damn |
| 03:00.00 | GeneralAntilles | For a variety of reasons |
| 03:00.20 | Xamusk | I guess 5v isn't enough then |
| 03:01.01 | GeneralAntilles | I'm blaming: slow charging off USB (500mA versus 860mA from wallwart), expense for Nokia of making another charger type, and the host-mode/OTG support of the port. |
| 03:01.06 | GeneralAntilles | 5v is |
| 03:01.17 | GeneralAntilles | But voltage isn't the only factor. :) |
| 03:01.46 | jott | elb: under normal conditions you're out of luck reading without backlight.. (atleast if you want to read comfortable) |
| 03:02.05 | pupnik | Someone could make an aftermarket rear case panel with a bulge in it, and a custom battery, i suppose |
| 03:03.25 | pupnik | GeneralAntilles: do you know if there's an external charger for the BP-4L battery? |
| 03:03.37 | GeneralAntilles | Hehe |

| 03:04.04 | GeneralAntilles | ryoohki, just buy yourself a USB-to-barrel plug adaptor for $12 |
| 03:04.14 | LinuxCode | so i took one and let the cat sniff it and he was on my lap |
| 03:04.22 | LinuxCode | then i put it in the bown on the floor |
| 03:04.29 | LinuxCode | and he was looking at it |
| 03:04.33 | LinuxCode | and going hmmm |
| 03:04.36 | ryoohki | GeneralAntilles: yeah, i've seen those but usb is less than 500ma |
| 03:04.36 | LinuxCode | what to do... |
| 03:04.44 | LinuxCode | so he got up just to eat the one |
| 03:04.47 | GeneralAntilles | It'll charge |
| 03:04.53 | GeneralAntilles | just much more slowly than the wallwart |
| 03:05.06 | LinuxCode | wallwart ? |
| 03:05.18 | LinuxCode | standard charger ? |
| 03:05.19 | GeneralAntilles | the car charger is about 380mA |
| 03:05.30 | elb | I wonder how the efficiency compares |
| 03:05.44 | elb | wallwarts are notorious for leaking energy ... I wonder if a laptop powering its USB port is more or less efficient ;-) |
| 03:05.59 | GeneralAntilles | Uh, output is 860mA. |
| 03:06.18 | GeneralAntilles | and a laptop is about the least efficient DC transformer ever created. |
| 03:06.32 | elb | what does "Uh, output is 860mA" mean? |
| 03:06.38 | elb | and yes -- but my laptop is already on and running |
| 03:06.52 | elb | if it weren't being used, that would be a reasonable conclusion, but it is |
| 03:07.37 | GeneralAntilles | The wallwart outputs 860mA, it seemed like you were implying that that's what it was taking in or something. |
| 03:08.00 | elb | what I was not only implying, but *saying*, is that wall warts often draw *much* more power than they provide |

| 03:08.41 | GeneralAntilles | The Nokia chargers are usually quite good. |
| 03:08.47 | elb | as in, a 5w output wall wart might actually draw 10-15w, and often draw multiple watts even when the device is not plugged in |

| 03:09.08 | GeneralAntilles | Nokia chargers also switch off when not in use. |
| 03:09.16 | dospod | is kde worth putting on my n800 |
| 03:09.28 | GeneralAntilles | I'd set up a dual-boot. |
| 03:09.38 | GeneralAntilles | Personally, I don't think it's particularly well suited for the device. |
| 03:09.42 | GeneralAntilles | Your mileage may vary. |
| 03:09.47 | dospod | idk |
| 03:09.58 | dospod | i just dont like like of apps it seems for maemo |
| 03:10.17 | dospod | like lack * |
| 03:11.00 | GeneralAntilles | Quantity != Quality |
| 03:11.00 | petergunn | plenty kde apps but I never seem to need any of them |
| 03:11.17 | petergunn | aparte from Kolf and that daoesnt work great with the touchscreen |
| 03:11.49 | dospod | the quality of the emulators on the n800 aint pretty either lol |
| 03:12.16 | GeneralAntilles | It's not a gaming machine. |
| 03:12.20 | Xamusk | well, I want to use python :D |
| 03:12.25 | GeneralAntilles | You want emu, shoulda gotten a PSP. |
| 03:12.37 | GeneralAntilles | Xamusk, Python and Ruby are both well supported. |
| 03:12.41 | petergunn | im getting more and more convinced that the n800's main use if for Linux geeks to spend all their time configuring and reconfiguring it |
| 03:13.14 | GeneralAntilles | and the main use for normal users is to use it. Your point? |
| 03:13.57 | petergunn | Im still not convinced what its primary purpose is |
| 03:13.59 | dospod | I relize thats not its main attention but the fact I cant play pole position in xmaeme is sad lol |
| 03:14.07 | GeneralAntilles | Nokia tells you on the box |
| 03:14.21 | GeneralAntilles | Browse the internet, check e-mail, play media. |
| 03:14.26 | dospod | and lack of p2p is sadening |
| 03:14.27 | GeneralAntilles | SIP, Skype |
| 03:14.29 | GeneralAntilles | IM |
| 03:14.34 | Xamusk | GeneralAntilles, is it easy to program to maemo's UI? |
| 03:14.41 | GeneralAntilles | It's GTK |
| 03:14.51 | Xamusk | it doesn't look like gtk |
| 03:15.02 | GeneralAntilles | Bittorrent? Both ctorrent and transmission are available. |
| 03:15.21 | GeneralAntilles | Personally, p2p is kinda stupid on a device like this. |
| 03:15.40 | GeneralAntilles | (although it would make an interesting low-power bittorrent client) |
| 03:15.54 | dospod | I got bittorent im thinking more of gtk gnuella and a hildonized version or something |
| 03:15.55 | GeneralAntilles | Matchbox/Hildon |
| 03:16.00 | GeneralAntilles | but it's basically GTK |
| 03:16.42 | LinuxCode | petergunn, the reason why linux "geeks" use this thing is because we can compile what we want..how we want it ...for this thing |
| 03:16.47 | LinuxCode | I love that |
| 03:17.04 | LinuxCode | better than fighting with mr jobs about locking everything down |
| 03:17.10 | Xamusk | it doesn't look like it can load glade... but it could just be a very good theme |
| 03:17.15 | LinuxCode | and acting like MS did and does |
| 03:17.29 | GeneralAntilles | petergunn, do you own one? |
| 03:17.40 | LinuxCode | and its a great device.. |
| 03:17.57 | petergunn | ya, wife got me an n800 for Xmas |
| 03:18.03 | LinuxCode | wince that was the biggest pile of shit ever |
| 03:18.10 | Xamusk | I've seen an app called FBreader that just looks amazing |

| 03:21.34 | dospod | I guess i thought hey its linux it should be swarming with apps for everything |
| 03:21.48 | LinuxCode | dospod, it kind of is |
| 03:21.54 | GeneralAntilles | Seriously. |
| 03:21.55 | LinuxCode | however... |
| 03:22.12 | LinuxCode | actually no however |
| 03:22.19 | GeneralAntilles | dospod, if you want something |
| 03:22.20 | GeneralAntilles | port it |
| 03:22.25 | GeneralAntilles | That's the beauty of open source |
| 03:22.26 | dospod | I do not code |
| 03:22.28 | petergunn | You just have to configure/reconfigure/install/patch/recompile/fix/port/etc |

| 03:24.14 | LinuxCode | yes thats a P |
| 03:24.17 | LinuxCode | not a N |
| 03:24.26 | LinuxCode | P800 = moile |
| 03:24.28 | petergunn | X11 stuff compiles fine but you have to patch Hildon input and matchbox messes with all the dialogs |

| 03:27.24 | proteous | what is phone line? |
| 03:27.28 | proteous | er, link |
| 03:27.51 | dospod | it allows u to make calls and sms off ur phone on the n8x0 via bt |
| 03:27.59 | proteous | ah |
| 03:28.14 | dospod | that would be pretty sweet if i can get it to work/ learn to configure it |
| 03:28.17 | GeneralAntilles | side talkin' |
| 03:28.36 | dospod | GeneralAntilles have u gotten phone link to work |
| 03:28.45 | GeneralAntilles | I don't have a use for it. |
| 03:28.52 | GeneralAntilles | my phone is a better phone than my N800 |
| 03:28.56 | GeneralAntilles | and I don't use SMS |

| 03:34.10 | Xamusk | to use with the gps |
| 03:34.14 | LinuxCode | not sure n800 can |
| 03:34.24 | Xamusk | n800 doesn't have gps |
| 03:34.25 | GeneralAntilles | It can |
| 03:34.26 | dospod | n800 can if u got a bt gps reciever |

| 03:34.33 | LinuxCode | Xamusk, exactly |

| 03:34.44 | LinuxCode | open maps |
| 03:34.46 | GeneralAntilles | The "Map" maps are downloaded by the application |
| 03:34.49 | LinuxCode | download them |
| 03:34.52 | Xamusk | find as download |
| 03:35.00 | LinuxCode | free to download |
| 03:35.00 | Xamusk | are they only US maps? |

| 03:42.27 | GeneralAntilles | It's really, really good. |
| 03:42.55 | dick-richardson | so, i'm working on a script that I would call remotely if my n810 is stolen. the best way i can think of to render the device useless is 'dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/mtdblock4'...anyone else have a different method they're using? |
| 03:43.23 | dick-richardson | I don't suppose truecrypt has been ported...? |
| 03:44.22 | Tama^2 | isn't it better to let it work and be able to trace it? |
| 03:44.22 | GeneralAntilles | Yeah |
| 03:44.35 | GeneralAntilles | You need three things: a phone-home with its current IP on every new connection, a GPS location, and a picture |
| 03:44.50 | Tama^2 | lol |
| 03:45.00 | Tama^2 | so you know who to curse |
| 03:45.03 | dick-richardson | the ip is easy, I'm already doing that...and it vpn's into my home network (hence my ability to run scripts remotely) |
| 03:45.07 | GeneralAntilles | and where to send the cops. |
| 03:45.10 | Tama^2 | the picture is of utmost importance |
| 03:45.31 | GeneralAntilles | GPS makes it really easy. |
| 03:46.03 | GeneralAntilles | Also: capture all of their outgoing data so you can get their CC info and such. :P |
| 03:46.09 | LinuxCode | bahah |
| 03:46.12 | Tama^2 | stealing a device that has both a serial number and a gps is idiotic |
| 03:46.13 | LinuxCode | that would make a great app! |
| 03:46.16 | GeneralAntilles | As a final step, make sure to package it all up and distribute it. ;) |
| 03:46.22 | LinuxCode | I want that app! |
| 03:46.25 | Zetx | chances are they'd be using stolen cc's too :\ |
| 03:46.28 | LinuxCode | if you make one I will donate |
| 03:46.30 | GeneralAntilles | Rendering it useless is a bad plan |
| 03:46.37 | LinuxCode | yeh trace it |
| 03:46.38 | GeneralAntilles | as it makes it much harder to find |
| 03:46.42 | LinuxCode | get the fucking bastid |
| 03:46.48 | Zetx | lol I actually suggested this for the dev discount thing, but I don't think nokia was too thrilled with the idea of 'supporting' a big brother program, i dunno |
| 03:46.51 | LinuxCode | and get him donw for it |
| 03:47.02 | LinuxCode | done* |
| 03:47.11 | Zetx | Yeah, you'd want to device to be 'usable' to the pepole for as long as possible to recover it |
| 03:47.12 | LinuxCode | nsty surprise when the door is knocked down |
| 03:47.17 | dick-richardson | how do you access the gps from the command line? |
| 03:47.31 | LinuxCode | and he doesnt know shit |
| 03:47.40 | LinuxCode | how he was found out |
| 03:47.42 | GeneralAntilles | Set it up with SIP, have it dial the police, play a recording with the current lat/long, and tell them to expect an e-mail with a picture. |
| 03:47.46 | LinuxCode | coppers will be pleased too |
| 03:47.48 | GeneralAntilles | gpsd, dick-richardson. |

| 03:51.46 | LinuxCode | so he had to give it back |

| 03:54.57 | dick-richardson | you know, I'm still trying to figure out how to call gpsd from the command line |
| 03:55.24 | dick-richardson | gpsd: can't run with neither control socket nor devices |
| 03:55.31 | GeneralAntilles | Actually, if it's in your VPN, you can probably track it actively |
| 03:55.39 | GeneralAntilles | since gpsd is a network thing. |
| 03:55.55 | GeneralAntilles | Not sure how to start it, though. |
| 03:56.23 | GeneralAntilles | Maybe poll their forums/mailing lists/channels? |
| 03:56.44 | GeneralAntilles | #gpsd |
| 03:57.22 | dick-richardson | sounds good :D |
| 03:57.23 | LinuxCode | GeneralAntilles, awesome |
| 03:57.37 | LinuxCode | dick-richardson, you gon hack something up mate ? |
| 03:58.11 | dick-richardson | yeah, but with the vpn being a pre-req I'm not sure how useful it'll be to the general user |
| 03:58.30 | LinuxCode | well...if its too accessible |
| 03:58.35 | LinuxCode | the thief will know |
| 03:58.36 | GeneralAntilles | Obviously you're going to have to make a non-VPN mode. ;) |
| 03:58.42 | LinuxCode | it will have to be some hidden thing |
| 03:58.51 | LinuxCode | yeh |
| 03:58.52 | GeneralAntilles | VPN mode for active tracking and non-VPN for burst reporting? |
| 03:59.21 | GeneralAntilles | Will capture the lat/long itself when on non-VPN and send them out in an e-mail/phonecall/IM, etc. |
| 03:59.29 | LinuxCode | I wonder if the kernel is compiled with ipv6 support |
| 04:01.54 | Xamusk | GeneralAntilles, I liked the bluetooth gps |
| 04:02.02 | LinuxCode | it doesnt ;-[ |
| 04:02.23 | Xamusk | GeneralAntilles, actually, it's cheaper to buy an n800 and the gps separated |
| 04:03.11 | Xamusk | too bad the n800 doesn't come with the keyboard too, but then it comes with a full-sd slot :) |
| 04:08.08 | Xamusk | do you know if I can build custom electronics for the N8x0? |
| 04:08.27 | GeneralAntilles | Howso? |
| 04:08.32 | GeneralAntilles | Bluetooth GPS with the N800 is great |
| 04:08.42 | GeneralAntilles | the BT units are so much more accurate than the N810's |
| 04:08.47 | Xamusk | :) |
| 04:08.58 | Xamusk | maybe here's my solution :) pretty cheaper |
| 04:09.03 | dick-richardson | and a LOT quicker to lock |
| 04:09.09 | Xamusk | sadly it doesn't have the keyboard :( |
| 04:09.09 | GeneralAntilles | Yeah |
| 04:09.14 | GeneralAntilles | 30s versus 4 minutes |
| 04:09.24 | GeneralAntilles | The fullscreen keyboard is actually quite good |
| 04:09.28 | GeneralAntilles | I do 40wpm on it. |
| 04:09.35 | GeneralAntilles | You just have to get a feel for it. |
| 04:09.36 | Xamusk | but then, one can't complain when in low budget |
| 04:10.06 | Xamusk | I just hope I can get both to my country |
| 04:10.24 | GeneralAntilles | Where are you? |
| 04:10.49 | Xamusk | Brazil |
| 04:11.39 | dick-richardson | Can someone in the US send you one? |
| 04:12.11 | Xamusk | maybe |
| 04:12.37 | Xamusk | I'll try to contact some friends' friends |
| 04:13.00 | GeneralAntilles | Yeah, that'll probably be worthwhile. |
| 04:13.30 | GeneralAntilles | N800, i-blue 737, iGo Stowaway, 2x8-18GB SDHC. You'll be set. |

| 07:10.45 | rm_you | now if only i could figure out how to give this popup a border... |
| 07:11.11 | inz | rm, the position can be computed using the allocation of the button and it's GdkWindow's position |
| 07:11.33 | inz | rm, something like this: http://maemo-hackers.org/browser/osso-statusbar-cpu/trunk/src/common.c#L109 |
| 07:12.23 | rm_you | inz: lol |
| 07:12.43 | rm_you | inz: i'm actually using that applet as a base... or was... the popup_place function is actually *IN* an old version of my code |
| 07:13.21 | rm_you | the problem is, they get the position of the button from some gpointer it gets passed as part of the click event |
| 07:13.30 | rm_you | and i can't figure out how to get that |
| 07:13.48 | rm_you | err, rather, as part of the "menu_popup" event |
| 07:15.04 | rm_you | it appears to just be a pointer to the button... but i can't get the right data out of it :/ |
| 07:15.30 | GeneralAntilles | Do it correctly, then. |
| 07:15.36 | rm_you | lol |
| 07:15.46 | inz | rm_you, yeah, it's just a pointer to the button instance |
| 07:15.53 | rm_you | gdk_window_get_position(button->window, x, y); |
| 07:16.06 | rm_you | but when *I* do it, it says the button has no "window" thing |
| 07:16.23 | GeneralAntilles | It seems really sad to me that this isn't documented at all. |
| 07:16.24 | inz | It must be a GtkWidget to have a window |

| 09:12.08 | GeneralAntilles | Yeah |

| 09:12.45 | GeneralAntilles | I'd be fine with 64 steps if the +/- still did 1-step increments |

| 09:30.56 | johnx | isn't mmcblk0p1 what you want? |
| 09:31.01 | seb_ | LinuxCode. Nokia-N810-50-2:~# ls /dev/mmcblk0* gives /dev/mmcblk0 and /dev/mmcblk0p1 |

| 09:32.37 | inz | To make it simpler |
| 09:32.44 | rm_you | how do i split this diff up into all its component files? |
| 09:32.47 | seb_ | On my N810, there are two directories for the mmc card - /media/mmc1 and /media/mmc2, but only one partition /dev/mmcblk0p1. |
| 09:33.25 | LinuxCode | hmm I dunno how the other fella did it |
| 09:33.52 | GeneralAntilles | mmc1 is the external flash |
| 09:33.52 | LinuxCode | im sure he said he fsck'd in usb mode |

| 09:34.45 | seb_ | GeneralAntilles: Does it come with that external flash slot already installed? |
| 09:34.48 | LoCusF | inz: what does that patch do |
| 09:34.51 | LoCusF | ? |
| 09:35.02 | inz | LoCusF, adds debian packaging |
| 09:35.03 | GeneralAntilles | seb_, uh, yeah, they put that in at the factory. |
| 09:35.04 | LinuxCode | seb_, external = micro-sd card |
| 09:35.11 | seb_ | THanks. |
| 09:35.15 | LinuxCode | GeneralAntilles, ? |
| 09:35.19 | LinuxCode | I didnt have a second card |
| 09:35.20 | seb_ | And that's the 2GB card, right? |
| 09:35.26 | rm_you | inz: so, i just run debian/rules and it should package up? |
| 09:35.29 | GeneralAntilles | mmc2 is the internal flash |
| 09:35.39 | inz | rm, usually you use dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot |
| 09:35.45 | seb_ | Ok. How much internal flash is there? |
| 09:35.48 | inz | rm, other option is to run fakeroot debian/rules binary |
| 09:35.59 | GeneralAntilles | 2GB |
| 09:36.04 | GeneralAntilles | +256 |
| 09:36.11 | seb_ | Thanks. |
| 09:36.39 | seb_ | That's useful. I think there is something wrong with this device, because I have only ever seen a 2GB (or rather 1.7GB) partition. |
| 09:36.46 | rm_you | inz: ok... so... i wonder if that works |
| 09:37.29 | GeneralAntilles | No, there's nothing wrong with it. |
| 09:37.51 | LinuxCode | seb_, you will only see the 2GB |
| 09:37.57 | LinuxCode | its like that |
| 09:38.03 | LinuxCode | somebody had the same issue you had |
| 09:38.03 | seb_ | GeneralAntilles: Oh. Odd. |
| 09:38.09 | LinuxCode | means.... |
| 09:38.23 | GeneralAntilles | The filesystem is corrupt. |
| 09:38.25 | LinuxCode | either you unmounted and it wasnt finished writing to it |
| 09:39.11 | seb_ | Yes, I think the filesystem is corrupt too. First thing, I think I will reformat the card, see if that fixes it. |
| 09:39.20 | GeneralAntilles | It will. |
| 09:39.52 | seb_ | Here is something I don't understand: fstab has a line /dev/mmcblk0p1 /media/mmc1 vfat rw,noauto,nodev,noexec,nosuid,utf8,uid=29999 0 0 |
| 09:40.06 | seb_ | But df -h shows this: /dev/mmcblk0p1 1.9G 1.5G 421.3M 78% /media/mmc2 |
| 09:40.23 | LinuxCode | so ? |
| 09:40.27 | LinuxCode | type mount |
| 09:41.08 | seb_ | Well, usually , the fstab file defines where things will end up being mounted. |
| 09:41.49 | seb_ | Guess that isn't the case. mount shows that mmcblk0p1 is indeed mounted at /media/mmc2. |
| 09:42.00 | seb_ | Also shows it as mounted ro. |
| 09:43.11 | rm_you | inz: where here does it ACTUALLY put the files in the right directories? |
| 09:43.37 | rm_you | rules puts them in "debian/tmp/usr/lib/hildon-desktop/" and "debian/tmp/usr/share/applications/hildon-status-bar/".... |
| 09:43.59 | rm_you | is there some sort of magic involved in debian_helper that translates that to the real paths? |

| 09:57.48 | seb_ | So, let me get this straight - the N810 has a 2 GB replaceable sd-mmc card for user data, and 2GB of internal storage for the operating system? |
| 09:58.31 | GeneralAntilles | No |
| 09:58.50 | GeneralAntilles | There's 256MB of flash for the OS/user storage/applications, etc. |
| 09:59.06 | GeneralAntilles | There's 2GB of flash soldered to the board |
| 09:59.19 | GeneralAntilles | and then there's an external MiniSD slot for cards up to 2048GB |
| 10:00.10 | johnx | the 2GB of flash soldered to the board is addressed as an SD card, thus explaining why it's a block device and where the /dev name came from |
| 10:00.52 | GeneralAntilles | I don't know why they didn't just keep it as another slot . . . |
| 10:00.57 | seb_ | Ah ha. So I can buy another miniSD card to expant it. |
| 10:01.00 | GeneralAntilles | Wouldn't be that hard to bundle a 2GB card with the maps. |
| 10:01.44 | seb_ | You definitely can't install >2048 MB? |

| 10:07.22 | GeneralAntilles | Problem with flash memory that big is that they still only transfer data in the 5-15MB/sec range. ;) |
| 10:07.41 | LoCusF | hehe |

| 10:52.59 | chille | yeah, but that 5 seconds is 5 seconds to much for mee |
| 10:53.13 | chille | yeah, but i'm to scared of bricking the device |
| 10:53.24 | chille | because i don't know if the image got any kind of checksum or so |
| 10:53.37 | chille | but maybe the flasher would whine is the checksum is wrong |
| 10:53.58 | chille | but whatever, i got a JTAG cable, so maybe there's no problem |
| 10:54.17 | GeneralAntilles | The worst you'll have to do is reflash. |
| 10:54.32 | chille | reflash with the JTAG cable? |
| 10:54.33 | GeneralAntilles | If you find a solution that doesn't require JTAG cable, let me know. |
| 10:54.40 | GeneralAntilles | No, USB. |
| 10:54.41 | GeneralAntilles | Most likely |
| 10:55.06 | chille | yeah but the problem is if i crach the bootloader it wont probably be possible to reflash the device with a USB cable |
| 10:55.42 | GeneralAntilles | Eh, you have a JTAG cable, then, right? :P |
| 10:56.05 | chille | yes, i have, but is it ALWAYS possible to reflash the device via JTAG? |
| 10:56.24 | GeneralAntilles | Unless it becomes a hardware problem. |
| 10:56.31 | michele_ | "always" is quite strong word |
| 10:56.31 | chille | even if i fuck it up and crach the NAND Flash inside the OMAP? |
| 10:56.41 | michele_ | almost as strong as "never" |
| 10:57.05 | chille | well, have to and eat some lunch |

| 11:39.10 | GeneralAntilles | class action? |
| 11:39.11 | GeneralAntilles | <_< |
| 11:39.41 | GeneralAntilles | It's a hardware limitation and we weren't promised anything we didn't get going in. |
| 11:39.49 | *** join/#maemo simon_ (n=simon@dyn167240.wlan.jku.at) |
| 11:41.02 | lcuk_2 | wheres the hardware limitation, looking at the2420 it supports 3d accellerated graphics - where are they ;) (and yes i know all the tech sides of it now but is it worth dismissing so easily? |
| 11:41.33 | lcuk_2 | anyway, back to the grind |
| 11:42.19 | GeneralAntilles | Yes. |
| 11:42.29 | GeneralAntilles | Because we weren't guaranteed anything going in. |
| 11:42.37 | GeneralAntilles | Nokia mentions nothing of accelerated graphics. |
| 11:43.08 | hugolp | GeneralAntilles: so you think Nokia is going to support OpenGL in the N900 (or whatever the name is for the next model)? |
| 11:43.25 | GeneralAntilles | I don't see any reason why they wouldn't |
| 11:43.32 | GeneralAntilles | and accelerated graphics are a big selling point. |
| 11:43.40 | GeneralAntilles | Especially when they basically get it for free with the chip. |
| 11:44.21 | hugolp | well, its not in the 2420 chip |
| 11:44.37 | GeneralAntilles | The PowerVR or the support? |
| 11:45.25 | hugolp | GeneralAntilles: I though the N800/810 chip doesnt support opengl |
| 11:45.25 | GeneralAntilles | It does. |

| 11:45.26 | GeneralAntilles | The problem lies with the LCD controller |
| 11:45.57 | hugolp | how? |
| 11:46.03 | GeneralAntilles | Assuming that there aren't issues with getting the data from the PowerVR to the controller as it's set up now (the data path may just not work that way), the LCD controller wont handle more than 15fps at 800x480 |
| 11:46.18 | GeneralAntilles | The OMAP2420's built-in controller only handles up to 640x480 |
| 11:46.30 | GeneralAntilles | So Nokia had to put in a 3rd party controller to handle 800x480 |
| 11:46.36 | hugolp | I see |
| 11:46.43 | GeneralAntilles | this 3rd party controller is connected with a very low-bandwidth serial interface. |
| 11:46.57 | GeneralAntilles | So no hardware video decoding or accelerated OpenGL for us. |

| 11:48.45 | GeneralAntilles | There's no solving about it with the next device |
| 11:48.57 | GeneralAntilles | The OMAP3430 supports up to 1024x768 just fine. |
| 11:49.19 | hahlo | I would like see gsm chip in next device |
| 11:49.23 | kulve | GeneralAntilles: why do you say the next device is omap3 based? |
| 11:49.27 | fatal- | GeneralAntilles: of course nokia wants to do 720p device by then :) |
| 11:49.30 | GeneralAntilles | Where else could they go? |
| 11:49.31 | kulve | hahlo: use voip |
| 11:49.36 | GeneralAntilles | hahlo, let's hope not. |
| 11:49.41 | GeneralAntilles | They're not going for Intel |
| 11:49.48 | GeneralAntilles | and there's nowhere to move on tho OMAP2 |
| 11:50.04 | GeneralAntilles | I very much doubt they'd move to another ARM chip |
| 11:50.20 | hugolp | GeneralAntilles: that sounds great |
| 11:50.27 | GeneralAntilles | Anyway, no bottle-necking LCD controller means OpenGL ES 2.0, and hardware video decoding |
| 11:50.29 | blooming | if the chip can support 640*480 then cant we use that for "game mode" and have a black border? |
| 11:50.34 | GeneralAntilles | 720p no problem. ;) |
| 11:50.46 | GeneralAntilles | No, blooming, because it's not connected to the LCD. |
| 11:50.50 | hugolp | the Nokia with 720p and opengl is going to be amazing |
| 11:50.52 | hahlo | I have tiomap ipaQ too with gsm and wlan bt and irda |
| 11:51.05 | GeneralAntilles | GSM isn't a good fit for the internet tablets. |
| 11:51.06 | fatal- | GeneralAntilles: I mean, then once again the controller wouldn't suffice... |
| 11:51.26 | GeneralAntilles | Oh, OK, but OMAP3 can decode 720p just fine. ;) |
| 11:51.40 | hahlo | 3g mobile is good for internet |
| 11:51.43 | hugolp | GeneralAntilles: but that is a design nokia policy, they dont want GSM into the tablets |
| 11:51.53 | hugolp | its not really a hardware or software problem |
| 11:51.57 | GeneralAntilles | FWI, 720p usually refers to video resolution, not screen resolution. :P |

| 11:52.14 | GeneralAntilles | It is a software problem |
| 11:52.27 | GeneralAntilles | as providing support for a cellular modem is a non-trivial upgrade for maemo. |
| 11:52.34 | hugolp | but if the tablet can render 720p without a problem it means no need to transcode from a media server |
| 11:52.45 | fatal- | GeneralAntilles: yeah, but being able to show 720p without scaling puts some requirements on the screen resolution, too |
| 11:52.47 | GeneralAntilles | A cellular radio is going to shoot costs up and generally make things a lot more difficult. |

| 11:54.10 | kulve | fatal-: and if it's the same size physically as the current one, the benefit from it would be pretty minimal |
| 11:54.14 | kulve | +d |
| 11:54.21 | hugolp | GeneralAntilles: correct me if Im wrong, but I suspect that nokia is developing the Maemo platform to see if its a proper platform for the main public, and developing the tablets to test before comiting more |
| 11:54.23 | GeneralAntilles | fatal, I'd be interested in it to drive a component or VGA out. |
| 11:54.46 | GeneralAntilles | The goal is to end up with a platform that's suitable for general consumption. |
| 11:54.50 | hugolp | GeneralAntilles: yes, VGA out like in the N95 would be a good idea |
| 11:54.56 | hahlo | little birds also sang that there might be gsm in next device, not sure if true |
| 11:55.07 | GeneralAntilles | Dear god let's hope not. |
| 11:55.17 | hugolp | GeneralAntilles: and iPhone succes might have open Nokia chairman eyes |
| 11:55.24 | GeneralAntilles | I'm not against a cellular modem in a maemo device once the platform gets some hardware diversification |
| 11:55.45 | GeneralAntilles | But if it comes down to my N800 or an N900 with GSM . . . |

| 13:27.00 | Cptnodegard | sure |
| 13:27.05 | lcuk_2 | when i did it with a standard cable, the keyboard appeared to work perfectly, but if i mashed lots of keys the power drain got too much and caused the device to screw up ;) |
| 13:27.12 | lcuk_2 | YMMV though |

| 13:28.04 | lcuk_2 | it works really well though now i am using a powered hub |

| 14:25.46 | wwp | jorgen: funny. to take a photograph, I wouldn't used gstreamer :). the camera program on OS2008 is OK-ish for that, and there are alternatives (like an app that stores GPS data in the picture) |
| 14:27.01 | Tak | mgedmin: heh, I've been wondering as well |
| 14:28.45 | jorgen | wwp: I'd use that if I could, but i'm doing something quite non-trivial as i'm hacking on a project that is doing some object detection using Haar-like cascades. |
| 14:29.19 | fysa | it doesn't even need to be "good" |
| 14:29.29 | fysa | it just needs to be better passably faster than the onscreen |
| 14:29.48 | wwp | hm. |
| 14:29.48 | wwp | then I can't help |
| 14:29.58 | fysa | the main reason for this, in my opinion, is that you gain tremendous screen real estate by not needing the onscreen thumb vkb. |
| 14:30.18 | fysa | and suddenly a spreadsheet could be usable (now that you can see what you do as you type ..) |
| 14:30.55 | jorgen | wwp: Interesting that they've added their own camera application in 2008 though. :) |
| 14:31.47 | lardman | fysa: hear hear |
| 14:33.06 | fysa | have you looked at the 'motion' packages, jorgen? |
| 14:34.32 | jorgen | fysa: No, I haven't actually. I was, until a minute ago, assuming that this was a fringe subject. :) |
| 14:35.17 | fysa | http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/WebHome |
| 14:35.39 | fysa | Motion is a program that monitors the video signal from one or more cameras and is able to detect if a significant part of the picture has changed; in other words, it can detect motion. |
| 14:35.49 | fysa | basically, you can look for specific motion sequences and trigger scripts. |
| 14:36.11 | fysa | I was interested in using it with a webcam on my HTPC to let me control e.g., volume by waving my hand a certain way |
| 14:36.28 | fysa | or automatically pausing if someone is standing in front of the screen and the lights are at a certain level |
| 14:36.32 | fysa | (that means it's projector movie time) |
| 14:36.54 | jorgen | Hmm, great. :) |
| 14:37.02 | fysa | someone ported it to OS2007 and maybe OS2008 |
| 14:37.11 | fysa | so I'm assuming it works with the built-in webcam, |
| 14:37.30 | fysa | hmm. "Motion tracking (camera follow motion - special hardware required)" |
| 14:37.51 | jorgen | I'll check the code out, maybe there's something I can do with it anyway. |

| 14:38.20 | lardman | Are there any bar code reading apps floating about? |
| 14:38.46 | lardman | I've just written a 2D bar code reader in MATLAB and before I turn it into Python I thought I'd enquire |
| 14:38.57 | lardman | Where I'm reading from a webcam that is |
| 14:39.10 | fysa | not that I've seen |
| 14:39.41 | hugolp | Im having a problem on OS2008 that I didnt have in OS2007: When I load the web browser and the N800 has been a long time idle the wireless network connection doesnt work (through it says its connected in the desktop bar). I have to reload the webpage and then it works. Anyone has the same problem? |
| 14:39.42 | lardman | I see phones have a bar code reader app on them these days, what is this for? |
| 14:39.53 | hugolp | Its very anoying in other programs that need the network to work |
| 14:40.22 | hugolp | lardman: cause is very easy to do if the phone has a camera, and probably is usefull for someone |
| 14:40.39 | fysa | mine stays connected, but there may be a setting in control panel -> connectivity |

| 14:46.01 | hugolp | OS2008 N800 |
| 14:46.13 | GeneralAntilles | michele_, your average sedan hardly put out anything. :P |
| 14:46.18 | Lynoure | Dist: I don't think me having a N800 is very surprising :) |
| 14:46.24 | jorgen | AD-N770: Think it'll make a difference on the performance that i'm seeing from gst_element_link_filtered? |
| 14:46.33 | GeneralAntilles | catalytic converts are a highly effective piece of technology. |
| 14:46.35 | Lynoure | Dist: meet irl someday again? That would be surprising... |
| 14:46.49 | GeneralAntilles | Personally, I like being able to get where I want to go in a reasonable amount of time. |
| 14:47.05 | Dist | Lynoure: It would, I also got N810 the first week it was available here.. =) |
| 14:47.14 | Dist | Hehe, true |
| 14:47.36 | hugolp | Dist: they tryed the gps thing here but they took it off cause it made more obvious that the buses would never get on time |
| 14:47.42 | Dist | My GPS - WLAN mapper is getting a bit useless now that Skyhook and Google does this already :< |
| 14:47.49 | Lynoure | Dist: yes, kinda drooling N810, but only getting it once I'm sure I'd use it for work |
| 14:48.35 | AD-N770 | jorgen: yes |
| 14:48.54 | AD-N770 | jorgen: you should create the appropriate pipeline to your need |
| 14:48.54 | jorgen | AD-N770: I'll give it a shot and see :) |
| 14:49.25 | AD-N770 | jorgen: you can remove ffmpegcolorspace if you can deal you yuv data in your app |

| 14:50.29 | Tak | wow |
| 14:50.30 | AD-N770 | jorgen: sample minimalist pipeline, gst-launch-0.10 -v v4l2src ! video/x-raw-yuv,width=640,height=480,framerate=\(fraction\)8/1 ! xvimagesink |
| 14:50.32 | fysa | very cool. Just moved from Pass-a-grille. |
| 14:50.35 | Tak | that's three of us in-channel |
| 14:50.38 | GeneralAntilles | Nice area. |
| 14:50.48 | fysa | Living right off the strip in Ybor now.. |
| 14:51.04 | Dist | Lynoure: Well, it's not that different, just 200e more for physical keyboard and somewhat crappy gps.. |
| 14:51.09 | GeneralAntilles | Hehe, how is that? <_< |
| 14:51.11 | lardman | regarding using those bar codes on phones: http://mobilecodes.nokia.com/ |
| 14:51.44 | fysa | not bad, actually. Ghost town Sun - Weds, gets a little loud on the weekends but having everything in walking distance is nice. Wife goes to UT and the commute from St. Pete Beach was torture. |
| 14:51.54 | jorgen | AD-N770: That sounds more appropriate. Suppose I use this minimalist pipeline, what's the bearing of that on my ability to eventually hand this off to be stored as a jpeg? |
| 14:52.03 | GeneralAntilles | I can imagine. |
| 14:52.17 | fysa | There are a couple of bad clubs -- one just shut down. |
| 14:52.29 | Dist | hugolp: Your wireless basestation might not like some of the powersave functionality that it uses |
| 14:52.36 | Veggen | Dist: I kind of like the keyboard, though. I think it'll speed up typing significantly, making writing more acceptable. |
| 14:52.43 | fysa | If you stay away from that block, you're fine -- and even that block isn't too rowdy until 11+ |
| 14:53.01 | AD-N770 | jorgen: are you planning an offline motion detection or in real time? |
| 14:53.06 | fysa | we thought the same before we moved up.. |
| 14:53.11 | GeneralAntilles | Last time I was in Ybor was for the opening of the ATHF movie. |
| 14:53.14 | fysa | haha |
| 14:53.15 | Dist | Veggen: Sure, 2mm more space for the top row and I'd love it, but 200e more for that is a bit too much anyways |
| 14:53.38 | fysa | how old are you two? (Tak, GeneralAntilles) -- not that it really matters, just curious. |
| 14:53.39 | GeneralAntilles | I'm just a little north of downtown |
| 14:53.40 | Veggen | Dist: agreed, price-wise it's a bit much. |

| 14:54.05 | fysa | heh |
| 14:54.13 | AD-N770 | jorgen: I don't know if your app could be similar to my tuner tool, it perform fft on each second of audio captured on the dsppcmsrc |
| 14:54.31 | hugolp | Dist: that might be the problem, specially if no one else is having this problem. What is curious is that I didnt have this problem with OS2007 |

| 17:05.48 | lcuk_2 | there are people wanting to help and they arent letting them |
| 17:06.27 | lcuk_2 | rm - speaking of which - the update script from brightness app left files in the system with invalid names (becauseit replaced running files before they were closed) |
| 17:06.52 | lcuk_2 | there was a desktop file with a filename of "[unprintable square]" |
| 17:07.50 | rm_you | lcuk_2: the script in 0.4b should REMOVE the old files, and then add the new ones |

| 17:08.07 | rm_you | lcuk_2: at least, it does on my system |
| 17:08.47 | lcuk_2 | yer i know, but it left those 2 files - the desktop and the .ko but they had no proper filenames - it took me a while to suss out what they were - i couldnt even view it from shell or scp until after i fixed the name |
| 17:09.22 | lcuk_2 | its not important but they were deffo there |
| 17:09.44 | rm_you | lcuk_2: hrm |
| 17:09.50 | rm_you | lcuk_2: you're positive they were from my app? |
| 17:10.55 | rm_you | how's this for a garage name: Advanced Backlight Statusbar Applet |
| 17:11.05 | lcuk_2 | yer, when i got the name sorted it was your .desktop file and the blank.ko was the same size and date as the older .ko (scp wouldnt view binary in internal editor) |
| 17:11.59 | lcuk_2 | i just culled them but if you like ill see if i can reproduce just for academic purposes |
| 17:12.06 | michele_ | rm_you: what? you actually wrote the code before deciding the name and opening the project?! |

| 19:27.52 | s1d | stupid question when building programs in scratchbox using autoconf what should i use as the --host ? |
| 19:28.32 | wnd | iirc you should just omit that option |
| 19:28.37 | s1d | i've been trying --host arm ..etc and some variations with no luck |
| 19:29.14 | s1d | this is the error i'm getting with ./configure |
| 19:29.16 | s1d | checking whether the C compiler works... configure: error: cannot run C compiled programs. |
| 19:29.16 | s1d | If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'. |
| 19:29.56 | Tak | omit that option |
| 19:29.56 | s1d | when i build my own code, which is usually just built with a really limited makefile things work fine and arm/elf's are produced no problem, i just can't seem to figure out what to do :) |
| 19:30.18 | s1d | that's a log from running with out any options appended to the ./configure call |
| 19:31.05 | Blafasel | Yeah, great. They put a sticker right on top of my display protection.. Argh! |
| 19:31.17 | Blafasel | Any hints where I can order some good new ones? |
| 19:31.50 | pupnik | the display protection is not designed for actual use, afaik |
| 19:32.02 | zuh | s1d: look at config.log to find out exactly why it didn't work, sounds like you have broken CPU transparency setup |
| 19:32.41 | wnd | "cannot run C compiled"... I think something like "sb-conf install -c" helped for that. I can't remember exactly what it was, it's been a long time since that happened to me. |
| 19:32.42 | Blafasel | pupnik: So what#s recommended? Using a good bag only for protection? |
| 19:33.11 | yatiohi | wnd: it does say "keyboard language switched" but it still shows english characters |
| 19:33.11 | pupnik | http://www.google.com/search?q=n810+%22screen+protector%22 |
| 19:33.15 | pupnik | i haven't bought one yet |
| 19:34.50 | wnd | yatiohi, on my finnish keyboard layout it switches between finnish and danish/norweigian layouts and it's practically useless to me. I wish it switched between finnish and british. anyway if it didn't do what you wanted it to do, there are no other keyboard layout shortcuts I'm aware of. |
| 19:35.49 | yatiohi | wnd: I see. Thanks :) |

| 20:34.26 | michele_ | link? |
| 20:34.27 | trevarthan | so... what's the best language to develop a commercial application for maemo in? |
| 20:34.37 | kulve | c |
| 20:34.49 | elb | "the best language" is almost never a reasonable question to ask, unless you have a specific use in mind |
| 20:34.51 | kulve | michele_: http://garage.maemo.org/projects/kilikali/ |
| 20:34.52 | trevarthan | ick. no OOP. is C++ the next best choice? |
| 20:35.10 | elb | and, as you may or may not be aware, OOP is a programming style, not a language feature |
| 20:35.14 | michele_ | trevarthan: vala |
| 20:35.16 | lcuk_2 | trev, all depends on usage and deployment targets |
| 20:35.18 | kulve | python seems to be popular nowadays |
| 20:35.25 | michele_ | and what elb said |
| 20:35.43 | trevarthan | I'd prefer to use Python, but I'm concerned about piracy with Python. |
| 20:36.02 | michele_ | kulve: are you one of thedevelopers? |
| 20:36.08 | kulve | michele_: yup |
| 20:36.09 | elb | piracy is no easier with Python than with C |
| 20:36.15 | elb | copying is copying |
| 20:36.30 | michele_ | kulve: is the project alive? last release was in march... |
| 20:36.46 | trevarthan | elb: yeah, but product keys are a tiny bit harder to break in C/C++. |
| 20:37.01 | michele_ | ok last commit 5 days ago :) |
| 20:37.17 | michele_ | kulve: I'll look at it |
| 20:37.21 | lcuk_2 | piracy in an open source system... even with an open application you are protected from people using your BRAND. let others learn from your code as you are using open code gifted from your forefathers, but protect your identity :) |
| 20:37.25 | elb | you can write some critical functionality in C with "product keys" to protect it, and glue it all together with Python |
| 20:37.28 | kulve | michele_: see the svn. It's a live |
| 20:37.56 | kulve | there's newer releases too, just not on that page. They are in the repository |
| 20:38.05 | elb | frankly, though, with a response like "ick. no OOP.", I question the viability of any software your company would produce |
| 20:38.07 | lcuk_2 | "pproduct keys" and other encryption can be hidden perfectly well with open source formulas. the secret is not the formula, but the inital values |
| 20:38.33 | trevarthan | elb: why? I like to write code using OOP. What's wrong with that? |

| 20:59.15 | Sho_ | trevarthan: Also the rights to control it, yes. MySQL Inc. owns the copyright in MySQL; contributors sign a copyright assignment agreement. |
| 20:59.55 | Sho_ | trevarthan: I.e. Sun also buys the MySQL copyright, which means they can publish it under any license they desire, i.e. they can also create proprietary offerings with it |
| 21:00.07 | lcuk_2 | trevarthan, people look at python which is entirely open source and has libraries which are entirely open source and they just think "hmmm well maybe it would be a good think to make my program open source as well" |
| 21:00.47 | trevarthan | lcuk_2: I like open source, I just can't figure out how to make any money off of it with this particular application. |
| 21:01.04 | lcuk_2 | like i said, what kind of application is it |

| 21:01.41 | trevarthan | sorta, yeah |
| 21:02.27 | lcuk_2 | so write it and show it off and if people like it they can buy it |
| 21:02.40 | lcuk_2 | you will gain product recognition if its good |
| 21:03.18 | trevarthan | but considering that the people installing such systems are rather technical, I don't want them bypassing my product key and installing one license on multiple machines, you know? |
| 21:03.55 | lcuk_2 | then let them install the basic version on all machines they want. if they want extra functionality let them pay for it. |
| 21:04.03 | trevarthan | C or C++ would make the cost high enough that it wouldn't matter so much. |

| 21:29.50 | lcuk_2 | im gonna vanish anyways, back later |
| 21:29.53 | Tama^2 | I honestly do not understand the point behind vala :P |
| 21:30.10 | trevarthan | bye lcuk_2. thanks for the chat. |
| 21:30.39 | trevarthan | Tama^2: I think vala is mono for people scared of mono because of the IP issues. |
| 21:31.02 | Tama^2 | I see |
| 21:31.13 | sp3000 | yay hyperbole |
| 21:31.15 | juergbi | trevarthan: no, I don't think that a lot of people are using vala due to that |
| 21:31.26 | juergbi | the development certainly haven't been started due to that |
| 21:31.38 | trevarthan | what's the point then, when there's mono? |
| 21:31.45 | Tama^2 | an python |
| 21:31.47 | Tama^2 | *and |
| 21:31.51 | trevarthan | yeah |
| 21:32.03 | juergbi | mono is a different platform, it duplicates a lot of the gnome platform |
| 21:32.16 | juergbi | vala is c# for the gnome platform, without an additional runtime |
| 21:32.16 | michele_ | vala compiles to native, mono to bytecode |
| 21:32.39 | trevarthan | does vala have a modern GC? |
| 21:33.05 | trevarthan | not that I think python's GC is particularly modern, but it's better than C++. |
| 21:33.10 | juergbi | it directly uses gobject, so it uses the available reference counting mechanism |
| 21:33.32 | juergbi | so more or less like integrated smart pointers |
| 21:33.43 | trevarthan | I hate reference counting. so you get problems with circular object references, right? |
| 21:34.07 | Tama^2 | I still think picking an existing language makes more sense |
| 21:34.22 | trevarthan | me too |
| 21:34.37 | trevarthan | sounds like vala might go away at some point or something |
| 21:35.00 | BuSyAnToS | i received my n810 do i need to make any upgrade? |
| 21:35.24 | juergbi | trevarthan: everything might go away at some point or something ;) |
| 21:35.30 | trevarthan | BuSyAnToS: probably worthwhile to flash the latest firmware, yeah. |
| 21:35.48 | BuSyAnToS | ok :) |
| 21:35.51 | trevarthan | juergbi: except, C, right? :) blech. |
| 21:35.53 | juergbi | trevarthan: if gobject 3 switches to different kind of garbage collection, vala will, too, so it's just very near to the glib runtime, it uses |

| 21:36.43 | trevarthan | BuSyAnToS: yeah, faster CPU and more memory. |
| 21:36.44 | sp3000 | yes, a faster processor and more memory can cause that |
| 21:36.57 | Tama^2 | unless you install vista... |
| 21:37.00 | Tama^2 | xD |
| 21:38.09 | juergbi | trevarthan: regarding circular references: yes, that's an issue, of course, the same as in C. you can declare weak references to avoid the issue, just like in C, too |

| 22:00.00 | desrt | N-eight-eleven! |
| 22:00.01 | jackster | thanks kulve |
| 22:00.14 | kulve | there has been talk about n8x0 with wimax but that's not a replacement |
| 22:00.20 | Cptnodegard | n810 is a n800 "upgrade" (downgrade is more correct but anyways) so its not impossible that they're releaseing a next gen table, but prob later this year if so |
| 22:00.47 | kulve | Cptnodegard: I see n810 as a upgrade to n800 :) |
| 22:00.48 | jackster | I just thought that since the N810 wasn't anything groundbreaking compared to the N800 maybe they would release the proper next generation at CeBIT |
| 22:01.13 | Cptnodegard | only an upgrade if you can stand 10GB only :p |
| 22:01.24 | kulve | I can stand with 2+4 |

| 22:01.41 | kulve | I do enjoy that :) |
| 22:02.19 | Cptnodegard | the n810 KB is too small to be usful IMO. only way i can type fast is a real KB |
| 22:02.27 | Cptnodegard | not worth the 2x price |
| 22:02.38 | desrt | ya. the price difference is seriously unjustified |
| 22:02.50 | desrt | it's maybe a $100 upgrade |
| 22:02.58 | jackster | so you guys think the N800 would be a better buy? |
| 22:03.07 | GEORGE_BG | Is there a way to boot direktly to KDE |
| 22:03.08 | desrt | jackster; if money is an issue, yes.. probably |
| 22:03.08 | Cptnodegard | i use my n800 at school, so i have a bag that will gladly fit a usb of bt keyboard anyways |
| 22:03.09 | GEORGE_BG | ? |
| 22:03.24 | Cptnodegard | jackster, depends on your use... |
| 22:03.57 | Cptnodegard | jackster, if price and storage is most important, n800. if a KB or internal GPS is more important, n810 |

| 22:49.45 | alterego | lcuk_2, something like that would be good. And should have been in there from that start ;) |
| 22:49.47 | lcuk_2 | its great with a magnifying glass and pin as stylus |
| 22:49.54 | GEORGE_BG | may be you are right but i whant to try it |
| 22:50.00 | lcuk_2 | alter, full rotation should have been |
| 22:50.23 | alterego | Well, rotation is a bit trickier. As Hildon/Matchbox isn't built with that in mind. |
| 22:50.26 | lcuk_2 | george, ive read its easier getting the 800s dual booting than an 810 |
| 22:50.42 | alterego | lcuk_2, no harder or easier. It's pretty much identical. |
| 22:50.54 | lcuk_2 | but hildon could very easily be with just a few resizable elements that you should be able to say "go here, expand there" |
| 22:51.10 | alterego | lcuk_2, sure. but that's not how it works :P |
| 22:51.15 | GEORGE_BG | alterego can you help how to burn CD's on my tablet i have usb cd-rw |
| 22:51.27 | *** join/#maemo Sulis (n=Syrinx@87.112.71.9.plusnet.ptn-ag2.dyn.plus.net) |
| 22:51.34 | lcuk_2 | i know that and have seen the way the hildon desktop theming appears to work (its very static) |
| 22:51.38 | alterego | GEORGE_BG, you'd need to compile the appropriate kernel modules and cd burning utilities. |
| 22:51.51 | alterego | Yes, static and pretty complex IMO |
| 22:52.34 | alterego | Well, I don't think I'd use rotation for anything anyway .. Except maybe games. Which can do that regardless. |
| 22:52.40 | lcuk_2 | yer - but as with anything in linux another way will come along, and hopefully it will retain compatability with hildon rather than just reinvent |
| 22:53.05 | lcuk_2 | alter, i read a lot on my device and would prefer web and whole interface to be portrait |
| 22:53.41 | alterego | Well, Hildon is mostly fine. It's the desktop and matchbox that are the problem. And matchbox is only a problem because of hildon desktop. Matchbox could easily rotate and does on many devices (the Palm Linux stuff) |
| 22:54.05 | alterego | It's purely because Nokia have disabled rotation and that hildon-desktop is created in such a way that it's just not practical. |
| 22:54.18 | lcuk_2 | yer i know |
| 22:55.10 | lcuk_2 | reminds me, i posted something earlier on today about a class action suit from HTC phone users who found out their device with chipset X(having 3d features) isnt using its features... |
| 22:55.15 | lcuk_2 | have you seen anything about this |
| 22:55.35 | alterego | No. |
| 22:55.46 | lcuk_2 | http://www.theinquirer.net/gb/inquirer/news/2008/01/17/htc-owners-arms-graphics |
| 22:55.51 | alterego | But that's like me sueing linux for not using my DRM hardware :P |
| 22:55.59 | lcuk_2 | certainly rings certain bells in my mind |
| 22:56.02 | Lynoure | lcuk_2: weird... it's not like people could be forced to use hw to its full extent... |
| 22:56.13 | GEORGE_BG | Are someone have problems usb flash some flash-a i can't read thay are formated in FAT mu say-s that "unable to connect, no file system available" |
| 22:56.18 | alterego | Yeah, it's really dumb. |
| 22:58.10 | GEORGE_BG | alterego do you have this problem |
| 22:58.18 | alterego | No |
| 22:58.21 | GEORGE_BG | whith some flash memory |
| 22:58.35 | lcuk_2 | Lynoure, people see the nokia n series phones with the same CPU chipset running 3d graphics. why cant i do it on a different nokia device that i paid more for? |
| 22:58.46 | lcuk_2 | its a valid question |
| 22:59.24 | alterego | Sure, it's a "valid" question. But it doesn't change a damn thing. |
| 22:59.42 | Lynoure | lcuk_2: it's a question... another question was that was this not in the stats they saw when buying the device? |
| 22:59.47 | alterego | You don't have 3D acceleration on the tablets because the drivers are closed source and Nokia don't want to buy them. |
| 23:00.01 | alterego | You get what you paid for. |
| 23:00.10 | alterego | Anything else that may or may not happen in the future is a bonus .. |
| 23:00.30 | lcuk_2 | if you don't ask the question you wont find the answer. |
| 23:01.01 | lcuk_2 | if we don't tell nokia in clear certain terms then how can we expect them to know its a highly desired component |
| 23:01.02 | alterego | The answer has been known for a long time lcuk_2 it's a question that has been around since the N800 :P |
| 23:01.12 | Lynoure | lots of device manufacturers use standard parts, even if they have no interest in using all the features, often because the simplified hw, without the features, would be way more expensive. Funny world. |
| 23:01.28 | alterego | lcuk_2, they _know_ it's highly desired. People have made a lot of comments and Nokia have said if they can do it they will. |
| 23:01.40 | alterego | So we just have to be patient and not keep our hopes up |
| 23:02.09 | alterego | Lynoure, exactly, and the CPU in the N8x0 tablets is used in a _lot_ of their phone models! |
| 23:02.17 | alterego | So they get them a lot cheaper as they buy a lot of them. |
