| 00:03.53 | johnx | no, 10 years ago was "Want the latest GNOME 0.54? Then follow these simple steps to compile each package by hand, because no one will package it for your distro in the next 6 months" |

| 01:02.37 | johnx | ah |
| 01:02.37 | johnx | ok |
| 01:02.48 | johnx | sorry, .org was taking forever to connect |

| 01:03.01 | johnx | yes, right now |
| 01:03.10 | zerojay | We don't have a web server running on .org. |
| 01:03.26 | zerojay | All the web stuff is on .net |
| 01:03.39 | zerojay | It's confusing, but you can blame it on Dreamhost for their shitty Jabber server. |
| 01:04.00 | johnx | well I was giving him a link to find out about the service... so .net was correct, yes? |
| 01:04.22 | zerojay | Yeah.. specifically the forum has the information needed to sign up. |
| 01:04.43 | zerojay | Not that hard. |
| 01:04.47 | zerojay | Jabber = .org |
| 01:04.50 | zerojay | Everything else = .net |
| 01:05.32 | johnx | alright, I'll be more specific in the future... |
| 01:05.35 | zerojay | Again, it's because I wanted to give everyone something better than Dreamhost's Jabber server. |
| 01:05.44 | zerojay | Which was total crap. |
| 01:05.59 | zerojay | The one on .org is one I run myself with all the bells and whistles. |

| 03:05.09 | kenny-yu | ar, you're right! |
| 03:05.47 | kenny-yu | thanks :-) then I'll need to compile it once again (using --disable-tests again) in X86 environment, right? |

| 05:26.06 | kennyyu | but applying patch gives me error message (reference instruction can be found in http://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Build/Maemo_Build_Instructions ) |
| 05:26.16 | kennyyu | Can anyone help me? :-) |
| 05:26.33 | kennyyu | I'm really sorry because I've been making you so much trouble :-( |
| 05:27.46 | GeneralAntilles | If nobody replies, kennyyu, it just means there's nobody here with an answer right now. ;) |

| 05:57.09 | VictBC43 | Hello.. I was wondering this was a channel where someone could ask some general questions about the n800 and BlueTooth GPS compatibility.. if not. is there an IRC channel for n800 owners that anyone knows of? |
| 05:57.51 | timelyx | there's no channel dedicated to n800 owners |
| 05:57.58 | timelyx | we don't reject people w/ 770s or n810s |
| 05:58.40 | timelyx | you're free to ask questions, although it'd be a good idea for you to search the channel logs first |
| 05:58.50 | timelyx | and it might make sense to search ITT too |
| 06:00.32 | thefool | VictBC43: though I see no reason why your question should be n800 specific. The compatability is at a software level... |
| 06:00.37 | pupnik | <PROTECTED> |
| 06:01.21 | VictBC43 | well I have just spent several hours with google trying to find out what is a good BT GPS unit to use with the n800.. I am still waiting for my n800 to arrive (ordered it last Friday) so really don't know much about the navigation capabilities that maemo mapper has other than what I have read about on the web in various forums etc |
| 06:01.55 | Luria | i like my iblue 757 |
| 06:02.44 | johnx | I don't have a BT GPS, but from what I hear: get something with a "SiRF Star III" chipset |
| 06:02.51 | Luria | but it is buggy with usb only connections (when BT isnt up); i dont know if thats been fixed |
| 06:02.55 | VictBC43 | I decided to pick up an n800 because I finely decided I needed an upgrade from my Sharp Zaurus, I unfortunately there is not much support for anymore.. even in the opensource community :( Anyway, I liked the n800 because it runs linux :) |
| 06:03.01 | Luria | sirf III is good |
| 06:03.11 | Luria | mtk32 or sirf IIIc is better |
| 06:03.20 | Luria | which zaurus? |
| 06:03.43 | johnx | also, see if you can find a thread on internettablettalk.com/forums about GPS stuff that would be a good resource for "works, doesn't work" kind of info |
| 06:04.00 | johnx | heh...lots of Zaurus users getting N8x0s |
| 06:04.42 | Luria | my mtk32 works fairly well in nyc |
| 06:05.06 | VictBC43 | I was looking and ordered an Holux GBslim 236 online on the weekend.. but upon further study it seems many people have been experiencing problems with the BT portion failing after a while.. :( So I may just send it right back without even opening it. I have read many good reviews on the I-737.. and not been able to find any major complaints about it so far.. |
| 06:05.17 | Luria | so does my sirf 3, but power reqs are higher, unless you can find IIIc which i hear is better |
| 06:05.31 | derf | I'm impresed my MTK gets a lock in the city, but it's got some serious multipath problems. |
| 06:06.01 | Luria | its not multipath thats the problem, its warmup aquistion. |
| 06:06.16 | VictBC43 | Oh.. I have a SL-5500 zaurus with openzaurus and opie running on it :) |
| 06:06.16 | Luria | i find my holux better than the iblue in that respect |
| 06:06.33 | derf | It seems to work okay so long as it's not moving. |
| 06:06.35 | Luria | ex 5600 user here. |
| 06:07.01 | VictBC43 | they were such great devices.. but alas.. I think there time has come.. and gone :( |
| 06:07.19 | johnx | have a 5500 (stored until 2.6 gets better), a C1000 (still in use) and an N800 |
| 06:07.22 | VictBC43 | anyway.. back to the topic at hand :) |
| 06:07.39 | Luria | i nearly bought the -c3200, but went with the n800 |
| 06:07.57 | Luria | i like my sd/sdhc slots :-) |
| 06:08.17 | Luria | but i still miss cf slots, they beg for hacks |
| 06:08.29 | johnx | *cough*newest zaurus kernel supports sdhc*cough* |
| 06:08.33 | johnx | :D |
| 06:08.50 | Luria | my zaurus no longer supports charging *cry* |
| 06:09.29 | johnx | oh noes :( my 5500 is plenty beaten up but most of it still works. |

| 06:09.53 | johnx | anyways, let me see if I can dig up the BT GPS my friend uses with his N800 |
| 06:09.57 | Luria | johnx, on a 5600? i thought sdhc was controller dependant? |
| 06:10.16 | Luria | VictBC43, did you see the 757? |
| 06:10.21 | VictBC43 | I looked at the n810.. but thought that the two SD memory slots were more important than then built in GPS and slideout keyboard.. besides I have heard the built in GPS chip is not the greatest.. so I thought I can get an external BT GPS with the n800 and place it the optimal position on the dash for reception while still having the n800 closer to me so I can see the screen better |
| 06:10.39 | GeneralAntilles | Good plan. |
| 06:10.43 | johnx | Luria, C1000...I have no idea how they made it work O_o |
| 06:11.07 | Luria | amazing |
| 06:11.18 | johnx | VictBC43, yeah. and the N800 is such a deal right now |
| 06:11.33 | Luria | if they released a shiba model, i would have had to buy another zaurus :-) |
| 06:11.55 | VictBC43 | is that the i-blue that data logging or some such thing built in.. ? |
| 06:12.06 | Luria | yes, and the solar panel |
| 06:12.30 | VictBC43 | And apparently the speakers in the front of n800 are a little better than the ones they put in the n810 |
| 06:12.54 | VictBC43 | or so the various reviews I have read have pointed out :) |
| 06:12.56 | Luria | thats scary, cause the n800 speakers blow. or rather, they dont, enough |
| 06:13.07 | GeneralAntilles | N800 speakers are great for their size. |
| 06:13.11 | johnx | what do you expect on something that size?! |
| 06:13.18 | Luria | better. |
| 06:13.24 | VictBC43 | well that was the comment. they are amazing considering their size |
| 06:13.25 | GeneralAntilles | Loudspeaker quality, evidently. |

| 06:15.34 | VictBC43 | anyway all those things plus the fact that it runs linux was what made me order one.. I also wanted something that could be used the way I used to the use the Zaurus.. like an ultra mini laptop ;) or these days I guess the term is UMPC |
| 06:15.56 | GeneralAntilles | Internet tablet. :P |
| 06:16.05 | johnx | VictBC43, the only thing I really miss (having an N800 instead of an N810) is the transflective screen and the keyboard |
| 06:16.12 | GeneralAntilles | or "MID" if you're Intel. |
| 06:16.13 | VictBC43 | well you can also run ssh, xterm, etc etc or so I read |
| 06:16.33 | johnx | and some crazy guys are working on Debian |
| 06:16.33 | Luria | johnx, yeah, agreed |
| 06:16.54 | Luria | tho i find im using my eee more and more and my n800 less and less |
| 06:18.09 | GeneralAntilles | Eee doesn't make any sense for my usage. |
| 06:18.14 | GeneralAntilles | If it's not pocketable, it's kinda pointless. |
| 06:18.14 | VictBC43 | I no one has tried getting a mini version of x-windows running on one.. or is that what the interface is using in the OS already? It would be cool to ssh to my linux box at home and have an app served to the n800 |
| 06:18.25 | johnx | x windows is in by default :) |
| 06:18.30 | GeneralAntilles | VictBC43, yeah, that works fine. |
| 06:18.43 | timelyx | johnx: by default makes it sound like you can easily or safely remove X |
| 06:18.44 | VictBC43 | Coooool !! |
| 06:18.46 | timelyx | you can't. |
| 06:19.01 | timelyx | w/o x, the device will reboot itself :) |

| 06:19.44 | timelyx | GeneralAntilles: English word choice |
| 06:19.50 | Luria | yeah, an eeepc |
| 06:19.53 | timelyx | default implies a certain level of "optional" |

| 06:31.21 | GeneralAntilles | I'd get yourself an iGo keyboard asap VictBC43. |
| 06:31.22 | johnx | GeneralAntilles, I thought (2) was something to do with the touchscreen? |

| 06:31.32 | GeneralAntilles | Maybe for some people |

| 06:32.24 | GeneralAntilles | and it was on Amazon for $30 USD for a few months. ;) |
| 06:33.38 | VictBC43 | the other question I had was what the best IRC client to use with the n800? |

| 06:36.21 | VictBC43 | I know the quality of the camera is supposed to not be the best.. but I though it would be handy to have.. |
| 06:36.28 | johnx | the cam is actually so bad that not many people have bothered doing much with it |
| 06:37.02 | GeneralAntilles | It is, pupnik_. |
| 06:37.27 | VictBC43 | hehe.. well I looked at some of the demonstrations of the n800 on youtube and the quality of camera did'nt seem that terrible. but I guess I will know better when I actually get mine in had :) |
| 06:37.33 | VictBC43 | had = hand |
| 06:37.39 | Lurianic | the cam is, as the kids say, "teh suck" |

| 06:38.41 | VictBC43 | hehe.. |
| 06:38.53 | GeneralAntilles | Yeah, don't get me wrong. I love my tablets. |
| 06:39.18 | johnx | VictBC43, actually, did you ever see the Camera attachment for the Z5500 (or see pics taken with it)? |
| 06:39.21 | Luria | otoh, im very impressed by the eee's cam |
| 06:39.33 | VictBC43 | well what do you want for something that does all the things that the n800 appears to do and in only $239 :) |
| 06:39.34 | Luria | johnx, i have one! |
| 06:39.46 | VictBC43 | So how do you like your Eee PC? |
| 06:39.56 | johnx | Luria, would you agree that the N800 cam is actually worse? |
| 06:40.06 | Luria | i mean, the eee's cam at .3m just like the n800 |
| 06:40.15 | Luria | now that i think about it, yes, iirc |
| 06:40.28 | johnx | isn't that sad? |
| 06:40.50 | Luria | VictBC43, im really impressed by the eee. i miss bt, but that's a hack away |
| 06:41.08 | Luria | i stuck 2gb in it and kde3.5+compiz |
| 06:41.15 | johnx | or one of those really short bt usb modules |
| 06:41.26 | VictBC43 | Does it have BT built in.. or would you have to get a USB dongle? |

| 06:42.10 | johnx | Luria, sacrifice a USB port for one of these: http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/24/princetons-itty-bitty-usb-bluetooth-2-0-edr-module/ |
| 06:42.20 | VictBC43 | So how much smaller is it than a 'standard' laptop. hard to tell from the pictures I have seen.. |
| 06:42.25 | Luria | (plus vga out, ethernet, sound i/o and an sdhc card slot |
| 06:43.01 | Luria | VictBC43, it reminds me of a cross between my cf-m34 and old laptops (because of the frame around the screen) |
| 06:43.33 | Luria | but it is a serviceable machine - i havent touched my toshiba of similar specs (r100) since i got it. |

| 06:46.14 | VictBC43 | Soooo.. one last question about GPS.. Holux or I-Blue.. MTK vs SIRFIII.. what is the consensus ? |
| 06:46.18 | GeneralAntilles | Luria, that's what the SSD is for. :P |
| 06:46.19 | Luria | its a really good IT tool, backtrack linux specifically supports it as of BT3 beta |

| 06:46.41 | GeneralAntilles | Holux or i-blue . . . get whatever you can get a deal on. |
| 06:46.47 | Luria | sirf IIIc, maybe, if you can find it |
| 06:46.47 | GeneralAntilles | They're pretty much identical. |
| 06:46.54 | GeneralAntilles | Personally, I like the look of the i-blues more. |
| 06:46.57 | Luria | except in power draw |
| 06:46.58 | GeneralAntilles | But, meh. |
| 06:47.33 | Luria | mtk32 beats III like a red headed stepchild in the power draw category. |
| 06:49.27 | Luria | VictBC43, are you using the gps exclusively with the n800? |
| 06:52.52 | VictBC43 | Hmm well it looks like I can get a i-blue 737 for 59.00 cdn.. I have a Holux GPSlim 236 on order.. but as I said.. it would seem from reading about them that there is a good chance the BT circuit with fail after a short while.. but it does have the SiRF Star III chipset ... |
| 06:53.29 | VictBC43 | yes.. I would be using it exclusively with the n800.. at least in the foreseeable future |
| 06:54.38 | Luria | then go with the iblue |
| 06:54.43 | Luria | if you can |
| 06:55.16 | Luria | odd, ive found holux gpses to be well built. |
| 06:55.41 | VictBC43 | Ok.. will call CanadaGPS tomorrow and see if I can get an RMA number for an item I have not even received yet (it is in transit) :) |

| 06:58.06 | VictBC43 | It might.. especially if they ship via a courier.. they kill you with brokerage fees.. |
| 06:59.05 | Luria | well, look into it. the prices were the best i found in the us when i ordered my 757pro (in july) |

| 07:00.31 | Luria | http://www.semsons.com/nosyblgpsres.html |
| 07:00.39 | VictBC43 | if you search Amazon.com for Holux GPslim 236 then look at the customer reviews.. those that have had the unit for several months... there seems toe be a common theme.. BT failure and poor or nonexistent customer support.. |

| 07:06.21 | GeneralAntilles | Yeah, not here. |
| 07:06.27 | GeneralAntilles | ~30s |
| 07:06.52 | ds3 | they reviews say the surf chipset is more sensitive but higher power consumption the the numerix; I find the numerix one behaves sufficient for me |
| 07:07.07 | Luria | still find the holux sirf3 better for that. once locked thoo, there isnt a difference |

| 07:09.03 | Luria | yeah, been there |
| 07:09.32 | VictBC43 | anyway.. you all seem to think the MTK chipset is as good as the SiRF III? |

| 07:09.44 | GeneralAntilles | If only Nokia hadn't screwed up the controller bus. :( |
| 07:09.58 | GeneralAntilles | SiRF IIIc, VictBC43. |
| 07:09.58 | johnx | GeneralAntilles, if it's 640x480x16bitsx30fps is probably too much but it might work at 24/25fps if the CPU doesn't get bogged down |
| 07:10.26 | Luria | there are a bunch of comparisons online between the two. mtk32 is better with power which is compelling with a mobile use case |
| 07:10.40 | Luria | other than that, *shrug* |

| 09:44.39 | n0ob_ | that not nice |
| 09:44.42 | kulve | michele: still tracking.. |
| 09:45.10 | inz | noob, the camera is really meant for videoconf, not much else |
| 09:45.24 | n0ob_ | mmh ok inz |
| 09:46.27 | n0ob_ | im just asking, because 380euros are quite a few bucks ;-) |
| 09:47.04 | kulve | that was actually from n800, but at least the video quality is the same in n810. I think the camera is the same. |
| 09:47.15 | n0ob_ | ok kulve thanks a lot |
| 09:49.04 | Tama^2 | Hey folks, how long should an n800 battery last when idle? |
| 09:49.20 | kulve | several days. When really idle |
| 09:49.22 | n0ob_ | how much bandwidth does conferencing approximatly need? |
| 09:49.41 | Tama^2 | how can you tell when it's really idle? |
| 09:49.59 | kulve | n0ob_: you mean video call? I a bit over 128kbps it seems.. |
| 09:50.11 | n0ob_ | nice |
| 09:50.30 | Tama^2 | offline, screen locked, no app running and I still get only a few hours |
| 09:50.30 | kulve | n0ob_: I'll take that back.. |
| 09:50.42 | n0ob_ | oh? |
| 09:51.51 | kulve | n0ob_: we tried the call with 128kbps 3G and the uploading was a missing some frames, but I'm not sure how much the upload bandwidth is in that 3G. Maybe 64kbps. The download direction worked ok with 128kbps. |

| 09:56.39 | Tama^2 | not helping apparently |
| 09:57.18 | kulve | Tama^2: your device isn't in R&D mode, right? |
| 09:57.34 | n0ob_ | ok thats good... some people complain about the gps, but dont state wether they mean the hardware itself or the prepacked software. do you have experiences? |
| 09:57.58 | kulve | n0ob_: the gps hw is pretty bad |
| 09:58.13 | kulve | slow in getting the fix, especially while in move |

| 09:58.34 | kulve | but I think it's good enough for a tablet since it's not a real gps device. More like a toy.. |
| 09:58.35 | inz | Yesterday I got gps fix indoors |
| 09:58.59 | kulve | inz: at home? |
| 09:59.00 | inz | Although it claimed that my dining room table moved at 2-7 km/h velocity |

| 10:02.59 | kulve | nomis: high-price? Have you compared the device to other devices with WVGA display, GPS, qwerty, 2G internal flash, 256M RAM, micro SD card slot, camera, etc.? |

| 10:03.33 | bmidgley_ | sirf-iii can perform really well. I suspect the antenna is the problem |
| 10:03.53 | kulve | Tama^2: I think there's nothing as sophisticated as that.. |
| 10:04.08 | kulve | Tama^2: Have you checked with e.g. top that there really isn't anything running? |
| 10:04.09 | n0ob_ | michele: ok that seems to work then ;) |
| 10:04.15 | kulve | i.e. taking cpu |
| 10:04.16 | bmidgley_ | too bad there's no ext plug |
| 10:04.28 | michele | kulve: shouldn't there be a file in /proc? |
| 10:04.38 | michele | for the battery mAh |
| 10:04.42 | johnx | bmidgley, I think it's a sirf2 not a sirf3, IIRC |
| 10:04.59 | kulve | michele: I'm not sure actually.. |
| 10:05.11 | Tama^2 | yep, top reports low cpu usage but the load is never quite < 5/10 |
| 10:05.11 | johnx | er...actually |
| 10:05.13 | johnx | what is it |
| 10:05.16 | johnx | hmm |
| 10:06.14 | wnd | johnx, are you thinking of intel's powertop for tickless kernel? |
| 10:06.16 | johnx | not a sirf at all, it's the GPS5300 from TI |
| 10:06.16 | _collin_ | I thought the n810 doesn't have a sirf3 but has some TI chip |
| 10:06.40 | wnd | nevermind :-) |
| 10:06.50 | _collin_ | there was this story on planet-maemo ... |
| 10:06.59 | Tama^2 | whatever it is, it;s not a hogging the cpu, just keeping the unit busy enough to prevent it from entering a better powersave mode |
| 10:07.32 | johnx | wnd, actually I tried powertop under debian on N800 and it didn't have enough of the hooks in the kernel that powertop needed to work |
| 10:08.11 | johnx | all it would tell me was the percent of time that the CPU was spending at a certain clockspeed |
| 10:08.18 | bmidgley | johnx yeah I thought I had read sirf-iii in a specsheet but can't find anything now |
| 10:08.19 | johnx | which is somewhat irrelevant in the case of the tablet |
| 10:08.20 | wnd | oh |
| 10:08.37 | johnx | bmidgley, it's the GPS5300, same as an N95 |
| 10:08.49 | johnx | but without being able to do that celluar AGPS thing like the N95 does |
| 10:09.11 | johnx | GPS5300 is TI's "lowest cost" chipset apparently |
| 10:09.18 | _collin_ | :) |
| 10:09.37 | bmidgley | is it low power too or just cheaper |
| 10:09.51 | johnx | linkage: http://focus.ti.com/general/docs/wtbu/wtbuproductcontent.tsp?templateId=6123&navigationId=12607&path=templatedata/cm/product/data/gps_gps5300&DCMP=WTBU&HQS=ProductBulletin+OT+navilink_4 |
| 10:10.29 | bmidgley | too bad... it performs about as well as my old sirf-ii gps |
| 10:10.54 | johnx | someone ran tests. Apparently the sirf-ii is a little better |
| 10:11.05 | bmidgley | ouch |
| 10:12.21 | johnx | yeah, for N810 owners. Makes me feel better about getting my N800 when I did though |
| 10:13.56 | johnx | bmidgley, oh, if you're interested in hearing about A2DP performance with the N800 booted into Debian: 75% constant CPU usage @ 400MHz ... but no skipping until I put further load on it. Period size gets set correctly, too |
| 10:15.13 | liri | the poor thing is that there's like no gps/maps applications for the n810 |

| 10:16.02 | bmidgley | johnx yes |
| 10:16.32 | bmidgley | marcel doesn't like how ugly the patch is... esp since gcc gets tripped up by 'static inline' on a fn |
| 10:17.15 | bmidgley | johnx 75% is really high though... does that include mp3 decoding? |
| 10:17.26 | johnx | yes |
| 10:17.36 | bmidgley | through the gstreamer plugin? |
| 10:17.42 | johnx | through mplayer |
| 10:17.51 | johnx | actually, I should try a different decoder |
| 10:19.00 | bmidgley | fwiw, the alsa plugin performs a lot better than the gstreamer plugin currently |
| 10:19.06 | bmidgley | gst must be spinning the cpu |
| 10:19.46 | johnx | interesting |
| 10:20.06 | bmidgley | it is probably an implementation problem on our side |
| 10:20.10 | johnx | is this on an N8x0 or something else |
| 10:20.12 | Tama^2 | A2DP requires the audio be compressed again so it could be also an unoptimized codec in bluez |
| 10:20.36 | bmidgley | we're slowly optimizing it |
| 10:20.39 | bmidgley | heh |
| 10:21.03 | johnx | so I guess my experience on the Zaurus was just a lucky fluke. heh. |

| 11:07.11 | johnx | yeah, I looked at that |
| 11:07.17 | lardman | I think that's the right link: gpsdriver is closed source and doesn't tell us what params it takes |
| 11:07.26 | johnx | ah |
| 11:07.30 | lardman | http://tii.developerconference.ext.ti.com/post-conf/downloads/james-hymel.pdf p43 |
| 11:08.18 | johnx | if you kill off GPSD and accept the consequences you can just talk to it through it's UART, right? |
| 11:08.23 | lardman | now presumably when the user-side talks to the gps over /dev/ttyS0 (or is it S1?), it's actually talking to the GPS Controller hardware |
| 11:09.34 | lardman | killing gpsd perhaps, then you just talk to the serial device, but if the gpsdriver is required to create or mediate the serial device, then it would be good to see what that does |
| 11:10.02 | johnx | yeah |
| 11:10.54 | lardman | but at what level is the agps stuff implemented I wonder |
| 11:11.36 | lardman | interestingly, from that pdf, I see that the gps controller does power managment, which means there may be some clues in the kernel source |
| 11:12.08 | johnx | on the link to the product page from the first post of that thread it looks like AGPS data is just fed to it via the UART connected to the OMAP |
| 11:12.23 | johnx | (or at least it can be) |
| 11:13.31 | lardman | yes, the question is can that be the same uart as the other control messages are sent over? |
| 11:13.45 | lardman | in which case gpsdriver may be able to do something with it |
| 11:14.25 | lardman | I was just interested, still thinking about PowerVR don't worry :) |
| 11:14.46 | johnx | |tbb|, I think the powervr drivers would be a couple more orders of magnitude harder than telling some lies to a GPS chip :) |
| 11:16.08 | |tbb| | hehe ;) |

| 12:00.07 | b0unc3 | lardman: really ? |
| 12:00.08 | lardman | but it's not worked since, though I've not tried too hard |
| 12:00.10 | lardman | yeah |
| 12:00.17 | lardman | first lock that is |
| 12:00.19 | Doni^ | hmm. i get a lock fairly quickly. it depends tho where i am. |
| 12:00.39 | Doni^ | and also the position of the tablet affects. |
| 12:00.46 | Doni^ | external gps is quicker imao. |
| 12:00.55 | lardman | we need agps enabled ;) |
| 12:00.55 | b0unc3 | johnx: I have waited for 15min... |
| 12:01.16 | Doni^ | agps would help. |
| 12:01.20 | johnx | I don't have an N810 so I can't add my experience but I think the consensus would be "keep waiting" |
| 12:01.25 | Doni^ | it's a bit like n95 without agps. |
| 12:01.29 | Doni^ | same chip? |
| 12:01.41 | johnx | b0unc3, is this indoors or outdoors? |
| 12:01.46 | b0unc3 | johnx: both |
| 12:01.58 | johnx | ah well, keep waiting |
| 12:02.11 | johnx | I think there is a thread on ITT where people compare notes about how long it took them |
| 12:02.30 | b0unc3 | uhm... ok .. I will search ... |
| 12:02.51 | johnx | I think a couple people ended up just leaving it searching by a window overnight |
| 12:03.08 | johnx | it's better after the first lock |
| 12:03.53 | jku | About the wifi positioning: it's entirely possible and would be quite accurate: I tried walking round the block constantly scanning networks: I got more than 200 networks with an average of more than 10 different observation points for each... |
| 12:04.36 | Doni^ | well it is not that accurate. |
| 12:04.41 | Doni^ | it is okay to give some estimation where you are. |

| 12:05.05 | jku | Doni, what do you base that on? |
| 12:05.14 | Doni^ | jku: my opinion? |
| 12:05.29 | Doni^ | jku: experience |
| 12:05.39 | jku | have you tried this? |
| 12:05.54 | Doni^ | yes. |
| 12:05.59 | jku | any links? |
| 12:06.00 | lardman | is it possible to get the wifi chip to return the fingerprints and signal strengths though? |
| 12:06.00 | johnx | Doni^, well if you're really lost one AP will get you within 300ft which would be better than nothing |
| 12:06.04 | Doni^ | jku: no. |
| 12:06.10 | jku | lardman: yes |
| 12:06.19 | Doni^ | johnx: yes, yes. it's okay. would be good for assisting gps. |
| 12:06.21 | lardman | even with the closed source chip we use? |
| 12:06.34 | johnx | Doni^, it would be better than nothing for us without GPS |
| 12:06.37 | jku | lardman, yes |
| 12:06.44 | Doni^ | johnx: definitely. |
| 12:06.54 | lardman | jku: oh, good |
| 12:07.22 | johnx | thankfully only part of wifi driver is closed source |
| 12:07.22 | jku | Doni^, johnx: I'm guessinmg 30m accuracy is entirely possible in cities |
| 12:07.38 | jku | it would require good data on the server though |
| 12:07.50 | Doni^ | jku: yes. basically. |
| 12:07.57 | lardman | So what does one use, what is the fingerprint made up of? Hostip won't work unless you connect to them all |
| 12:08.09 | johnx | MAC |
| 12:08.20 | jku | you mean how toidentify them? MAC address |
| 12:08.32 | Doni^ | yes. i mean the idea is not to connect to the wlans |
| 12:08.35 | Doni^ | you don't need to do that. |
| 12:08.36 | johnx | (pretty much) globally unique |
| 12:08.57 | lardman | Doni^: yep, was wondering whether there were already dbs for MACs |
| 12:08.58 | Doni^ | you would have a database of wlan fingerprints and their geopositions |
| 12:09.12 | jku | lardman, yes but not free ones |
| 12:09.15 | Doni^ | probably. but i guess not freely available. |
| 12:09.31 | jku | lardman, see wigle.net (12million APs) |
| 12:09.49 | lardman | Would be easy enough to generate one from other people using the hostip/other ip based location services, just get them to report the MAC id and location abcl |
| 12:09.51 | lardman | back even |
| 12:10.17 | jku | hostip is useless, would need gps |
| 12:10.35 | jku | that's why n810 would be the right platform... |
| 12:10.38 | lardman | but how accurate do we need to be I wonder for agps? |
| 12:10.47 | Doni^ | yes. you need to collect them with wlan+gps capable device. |
| 12:11.08 | Doni^ | in order to place the wlan's on a map |
| 12:11.29 | lardman | ok |
| 12:11.31 | Doni^ | and from that map it is possible to calculate the position of the device using wlan only. by some error margin. |
| 12:11.39 | lardman | yep |

| 12:12.27 | johnx | maybe we can convince the openstreetmap guys to help, given that they're already driving around with a GPS :) |
| 12:12.31 | Doni^ | jku: sure. |
| 12:15.35 | lardman | I note there's nothing about AGPS on the roadmap, I wonder if something is planned or not |
| 12:16.30 | jku | johnx, the problem is that most of them are working with GPS devices that have no WLAN chip... |
| 12:17.10 | johnx | jku, they seem like the sort of people who might have a laptop or PDA though :) |
| 12:17.22 | jku | true and there is a large wardriving community that might get interested "for the common good" |

| 16:13.47 | Blafasel | But obviously that's not what I'm talking about ;) |
| 16:13.49 | K-Fox | is it difficult to port the x86 application to Maemo linux? |
| 16:14.10 | K-Fox | ubuntu files... |
| 16:14.16 | K-Fox | gentoo.. |
| 16:14.40 | lardman | probably a bit advanced to be included in the default busybox |
| 16:14.58 | michele | Blafasel: I think type is a bash builtin |
| 16:15.00 | lardman | K-Fox: which application? |
| 16:15.18 | michele | $ type type |
| 16:15.18 | michele | type is a shell builtin |
| 16:15.18 | Jaffa | K-Fox: depends on the application. Varies between works out of the box (e.g. shell scripts, Perl, Python) to really quite tricky (Qt apps, Java) |
| 16:15.33 | Blafasel | michele: If you just type "type", does it crash for you? |
| 16:15.37 | Blafasel | It does for me, at least. |
| 16:16.07 | michele | Tak: type is similar to which, but it also tells you if something is an alias or what |
| 16:16.15 | michele | Blafasel: haven't tried on an IT |
| 16:16.36 | lardman | well we're using ash not bash |
| 16:16.44 | Blafasel | michele: Ah.. Well, that's the problem though ;) Crashes for me (and the shell dies..) if it gets no argument |
| 16:16.48 | Tak | how unusual |
| 16:17.07 | K-Fox | jaffa: ok |

| 18:12.28 | lardman_ | aaargh! The browser is driving me insane |
| 18:12.41 | lardman_ | On ITT, it takes forever to load a page, even with images turned off |
| 18:12.47 | lardman_ | phew, I feel better now |
| 18:13.13 | fysa | did you try raising ng render delay in about:config? |
| 18:13.26 | lardman_ | no, what does that do? |
| 18:13.33 | lardman_ | ng? |
| 18:13.53 | fysa | by default, for me, it was set to -1 which isn't a proper value -- I believe it ends up being 0, which is basically real-time rendering of HTML |
| 18:13.53 | lardman_ | it seems to sit there are loading 14/15, God knows what that is |
| 18:14.19 | fysa | any tag that comes in gets rendered instantly -- I raised mine to 500, which should wait 500ms before attempting to render. |
| 18:14.27 | zuh | lardman_: ITT is IMO dog slow even on desktop... |
| 18:14.50 | lardman_ | zuh: yeah, too many bloody pictures |
| 18:14.55 | fysa | pages seem to load faster over-all if you don't bog down the renderer while it's trying to manage all the connections |
| 18:15.13 | lardman_ | fysa: I'll have a look at that, thanks |
| 18:15.32 | fysa | the default is around 300-1000 as recommended by various mozilla reports/buglist |
| 18:15.44 | zuh | lardman_: That, and something in the design seems to make the page reflow the whole structure many times |
| 18:15.53 | fysa | that's what I'm talking about, zuh |
| 18:16.14 | fysa | if you have it wait a bit before trying to render anything, it seems to waste less time rendering it improperly first |
| 18:16.31 | Tak | hmm |
| 18:16.47 | fysa | ng paint delay maybe. |

| 18:42.41 | jott | (but cpu is at 100% and ui gets a bit sluggish.. but no wonder) |
| 18:42.49 | Blafasel | lardman_: C |
| 18:43.09 | jku | GeneralAntilles,"nice bindings" was part of the question... |
| 18:43.10 | lardman_ | well basic gtk+, then some minor tweaks to Hildonise which are in the tutorials |
| 18:43.24 | fysa | which version is that, jott? |
| 18:43.24 | dphil9000 | i'd take -1 to mean disabled, like boolean false |

| 20:10.31 | darkip | it might be because i was compiling from their CVS |

| 22:20.29 | Reinard | i have never before had anything like this... but i just reflashed this |
| 22:20.53 | Reinard | i dont know, its converted with that java mediaconverter |
| 22:21.12 | Tak | also -ao gst |
| 22:21.21 | Reinard | same videos worked directly in mplayer before reflashing |
| 22:21.41 | Reinard | tak, tried -ao gst -ac dspmp3 too |
| 22:23.08 | Reinard | "could not open/initialize audio device -> no sound" |
| 22:23.25 | fysa | maybe something else has it open? |
| 22:25.37 | Reinard | well i have booted this device several times and should not have anything open |
| 22:26.37 | Reinard | is it possible this could have something to do with libogg0 etc. libs needed to install mplayer |
| 22:27.25 | Reinard | because when i first tried to install it, i couldn't because those wasn't installed. |
| 22:28.18 | Reinard | i also couldn't install those libs, but i managed to install mplayer from somewhere else |
| 22:29.02 | Reinard | oh, this obviously is problem with missing codecs |
| 22:30.05 | Reinard | "cannot find codec for audio format 0x55" when trying to use dspmp3 |

| 23:33.57 | zerojay | Stalwart: How did they ruin GTA considering it's now better than it's ever been? |
| 23:34.12 | Stalwart | 1) no deathmatch multiplayer |
| 23:34.15 | Stalwart | 2) 3d |
| 23:34.24 | Reinard | i think gta:sa wasnt too good |
| 23:34.30 | zerojay | Uh.. news flash, GTA1 was 3d. :) |
| 23:34.33 | Reinard | too bad fot gta-series |
| 23:34.56 | Reinard | all gtas have been 3d except gba-versions |
| 23:35.00 | lcuk | *bad 3d at that - the first few real "3d" versions really looked poor on normal hardware. the over the top versions were much better |
| 23:35.02 | fysa | what? |
| 23:35.09 | Stalwart | gta2 had some 3d features too, but top-down view is best! |
| 23:35.18 | fysa | ah |
| 23:35.36 | zerojay | The code for multiplayer networking has been in the GTA3 series of games from the start, just that they didn't bother with making a game around it. |
| 23:35.42 | Reinard | gta3 had a topview cam... wonder why they removed it later |
| 23:35.47 | zerojay | That's why Multi Theft Auto and other hacks work so easily. |
| 23:35.57 | zerojay | Reinard: No one used it. I did. |
| 23:36.01 | Reinard | is that so? :o |
| 23:36.06 | zerojay | Yep. |
| 23:36.12 | zerojay | GTA on PSP has networking. |

| 23:36.22 | Reinard | well still that top-view was cool |
| 23:36.26 | zerojay | Agreed. |
| 23:36.49 | zerojay | I suppose the overhead train tracks in GTA3 showed them that top down can be a pain. |
| 23:37.00 | braddbr | will mac os X's 770Flasher.app work for the n800? I see they reference the n800, just want to be sure |
