| 01:01.25 | ryoohki | Chani: it's going to be hard to crack into a box that's read only if somethings aren't writable since you can't add sshd or a root kit |

| 01:02.38 | Chani | ryoohki: yes, it shows up. readonly. |
| 01:02.40 | ryoohki | Chani: if no ssh and no rootkit then maybe there is a way to add it to a microsdhc card |
| 01:02.41 | GeneralAntilles | Chani, you probably have an oversized partition table |
| 01:02.45 | GeneralAntilles | and now it's corrupt |

| 01:03.07 | ryoohki | Chani: if it shows up readonly just copy it |
| 01:03.13 | Chani | maybe I could scp the data.... if scp is installed... |

| 01:05.16 | ryoohki | GeneralAntilles: "corrupt from the factory" really?! |
| 01:05.25 | GeneralAntilles | ryoohki, the partition table was oversized |
| 01:05.29 | GeneralAntilles | it was fixed fairly quickly |

| 01:05.38 | GeneralAntilles | but the distribution lines are longer in some places than in others |

| 01:06.21 | Chani | ryoohki: arch., |

| 01:07.04 | Chani | ryoohki: I know. so I'l;l have to buy an adaport and a micro card |

| 01:07.51 | Chani | yay! someone fixed whatever was breaking my plasma. one issue down |
| 01:08.07 | Chani | I think I'll come back to the n810 problems after my laptop is in a better mood ;) |
| 01:08.25 | Chani | now that I know there's a way to fix things I';m happy |
| 01:08.28 | ryoohki | Chani: if wireless is working, you can "mkdir n810_fs ; rsync -avz -e ssh root@n810.ip.address:/. n810_fs/. |

| 04:31.05 | disco_stu | the way he uses it |
| 04:33.07 | GeneralAntilles | I'm sure he'd appreciate patches and/or pointers. ;) |
| 04:33.49 | disco_stu | today it was crashing the hell, until i deleted the sqlite file in .tear/ and it worked another 10 minutes |
| 04:34.15 | disco_stu | i may get involved |
| 04:37.38 | slonopotamus | GeneralAntilles, hi |
| 04:37.47 | slonopotamus | GeneralAntilles, i know that |
| 04:38.12 | slonopotamus | GeneralAntilles, the question is why it is made as a demon |
| 04:38.15 | GeneralAntilles | Ah, justification for using that archicture is the question. . . |
| 04:38.16 | GeneralAntilles | right |
| 04:38.39 | GeneralAntilles | A few thing |
| 04:38.40 | GeneralAntilles | s |
| 04:38.46 | GeneralAntilles | First, it decreases startup time |
| 04:39.04 | GeneralAntilles | Second, it reduces the impact of browser crashes (ideally, only a single window will close instead of all windows) |
| 04:39.29 | GeneralAntilles | and third, it will give other programs access to a browser engine without having to load a new one into memory. |
| 04:40.25 | slonopotamus | fourth, it increases memory usage even when browser is not running |
| 04:40.36 | GeneralAntilles | Eh, only about 7MB. |
| 04:40.52 | GeneralAntilles | MB I'm willing to trade for reduced startup time |
| 04:41.18 | GeneralAntilles | and when more applications start using browserd (as I know they will) it'll actually reduce memory usage. |
| 04:41.21 | slonopotamus | i sometimes see it forgets to free upp memory after closing microb |
| 04:41.37 | GeneralAntilles | "top" numbers or "htop" numbers? |
| 04:41.44 | GeneralAntilles | The discussion has been had to death, anyway. |
| 04:42.01 | slonopotamus | ok ;) |
| 04:42.04 | GeneralAntilles | If there are memory leaks, then those are bugs. |
| 04:42.06 | GeneralAntilles | Plain and simple. |
| 04:42.11 | slonopotamus | anyway, it looks strange |
| 04:42.22 | GeneralAntilles | It's the setup Chrome uses |
| 04:42.24 | GeneralAntilles | and IE8 |

| 05:09.57 | Macer | :) |
| 05:10.06 | Macer | i wish i could find a better browser for my n95 |
| 05:11.12 | RST38h | there is Tear and Fennec Beta |
| 05:11.14 | disco_stu | s60 browser is awesome |
| 05:11.25 | RST38h | S60 browser is decent enough |
| 05:12.16 | RST38h | Tablet will not render Zimbra correctly any time soon, so do not get your hopes high |
| 05:12.41 | Macer | damn |
| 05:12.43 | Macer | heh |
| 05:12.52 | Macer | disco .. it won't work with ajax |
| 05:13.09 | Macer | heh... which is odd becaue the n95 is actually probably a bit stronger than my n800 |
| 05:13.15 | disco_stu | Macer: is a phone.. |
| 05:13.15 | RST38h | S60 browser supports ajax |

| 05:13.22 | RST38h | Albeit limited one, same as the tablet |
| 05:13.26 | Macer | ah |
| 05:13.34 | Macer | wouldn't work with zimbra's ajax interface |
| 05:13.47 | RST38h | It will run JavaScript, but slowly and may run out of memory. These limitations come from the hardware not the browser |
| 05:13.49 | Macer | neither one would :) although deblet did with iceweasel which is just ff |
| 05:13.55 | RST38h | Use GMail instead. |
| 05:14.11 | Macer | the whole point of using my own zimbra server was to wean myself off gmail |
| 05:14.25 | GeneralAntilles | Well, browser improvements can reduce the impact of hardware limitations. |
| 05:14.26 | Macer | it's ok. only thing i miss out on are the briefcases and docs |
| 05:14.33 | RST38h | Use your own Unix server and log in using Modest or SSH |
| 05:14.38 | Macer | which might be awesome |
| 05:14.47 | GeneralAntilles | and there's a lot of room to improve on the really old FF3 alpha MicroB is currently based on. |
| 05:14.51 | Macer | RST38h heh.. that's what i do now |
| 05:14.56 | RST38h | General: With the sheer amount of JS people are using today, abandon all hope |

| 05:15.53 | GeneralAntilles | RST38h, and we'll have OMAP3 by then, sooooo? |
| 05:15.57 | Macer | mobile x86? |
| 05:16.01 | RST38h | General: Well, if it compares in characteristics with OMAP, then why not? |
| 05:16.09 | Macer | GeneralAntilles whaqt are yout alking about? |
| 05:16.17 | RST38h | General: Instruction set surely sucks but I will let compiler deal with thart |
| 05:16.19 | Macer | i never said anytghing about using a moble x86 |
| 05:16.25 | GeneralAntilles | Because there's no way it'll have similar battery life. |
| 05:17.02 | Macer | http://lasziv.reprehensible.net/~macer |
| 05:17.11 | Macer | i was going to run zimbra on the shuttle |
| 05:17.20 | GeneralAntilles | Macer, RST38h brought up Moorestown. |
| 05:17.21 | RST38h | General: Actually, Moorestown is promied to have /10 power suckage of current Atoms, when idle |
| 05:17.24 | Macer | oh |
| 05:17.36 | RST38h | General: How they actually measure "idle" is a mystery though |
| 05:17.37 | GeneralAntilles | RST38h, and OMAP3 has basically zero power usage when idle. :P |
| 05:17.49 | Macer | RST38h _ OFF |
| 05:17.52 | Macer | heh |
| 05:18.03 | GeneralAntilles | Having x86 is a lot less important when you take Microsoft out of the picture |
| 05:18.06 | RST38h | General: Again, this depend on what you call idle |
| 05:18.14 | GeneralAntilles | Fair enough |
| 05:18.25 | RST38h | General: The problem is, once it is x86, you automatically get MS in the picture =( |
| 05:18.35 | Macer | i need to check out deblete sometime soon |
| 05:18.39 | Macer | but i've been working on other things |
| 05:18.47 | Macer | sts and johnx have made vast improvements |
| 05:18.48 | RST38h | The "Can I run Office on this?" question surfaces again and again =( |
| 05:18.56 | Macer | haha |
| 05:19.04 | GeneralAntilles | "Only if you pay me $500" |
| 05:19.06 | Macer | can i run office heh |
| 05:19.14 | RST38h | Which is really, REALLY bad for Moblin btw |
| 05:19.19 | Macer | my n95 has quickoffice |
| 05:19.27 | Macer | :) |
| 05:19.33 | RST38h | macer: They mean the real thing |
| 05:19.36 | Macer | oh |
| 05:19.48 | Macer | just slap a ms symbol on it |
| 05:20.03 | Macer | and say ïïit's the mobile ver made juist for you |
| 05:20.11 | Macer | they will think they are special |
| 05:20.14 | Macer | :) |
| 05:20.19 | RST38h | That is what MS does for WinMobile "Office" |
| 05:20.26 | Macer | i'm sure it is |
| 05:20.32 | RST38h | The only problem is, it is no real office either |
| 05:20.45 | suihkulokki | clippy missing :'( |
| 05:20.46 | disco_stu | at last i can browse the web with links2 !! |
| 05:20.51 | disco_stu | i'm happy :) |
| 05:20.52 | Macer | are people honestly expecting a full office suite? |
| 05:21.00 | RST38h | Yes. |
| 05:21.02 | Macer | i was happy i could type entire term papers on my phone with quick office |
| 05:21.03 | Macer | heh |
| 05:21.13 | Macer | talk about damage control for those late nights out |
| 05:21.28 | RST38h | Maybe not on a phone, but on a MID they expect Office |
| 05:21.41 | Macer | i think i typed 20 pages in 2 hrs with my n95 and su8w |
| 05:21.51 | Macer | then tell them to get a laptop |
| 05:21.52 | Macer | haha |
| 05:21.56 | RST38h | Cheater |
| 05:21.59 | Macer | people expect too much |
| 05:22.09 | RST38h | Real road warriors do not use BT keyboard |
| 05:22.12 | Macer | RST38h ... only reason i actually bought quick office was for that just in casae purpose |
| 05:22.14 | Macer | shit |
| 05:22.18 | Macer | fuck that heh |
| 05:22.26 | Macer | i'd have died trying to do it without it |
| 05:22.36 | RST38h | Try typing your term papr w t9 dood |
| 05:22.40 | Macer | hahaha |
| 05:22.46 | Macer | that's why i got he bt kb |
| 05:22.52 | Macer | i don't like lugging around a laptop |
| 05:23.06 | RST38h | That is why I got E70 instead of overpriced N95 brick :) |
| 05:23.10 | Macer | my su8w and n95 do about 60% of what a laptop can |
| 05:23.17 | Macer | hah |
| 05:23.29 | Macer | it is uncomfortable to talk on |
| 05:23.31 | RST38h | All right, going to work. |
| 05:23.37 | Macer | i never talk on it without an earpiece |
| 05:23.40 | Macer | ok |
| 05:23.41 | Macer | take care |
| 05:23.46 | GeneralAntilles | needs new glasses. . . . |
| 05:23.48 | GeneralAntilles | Bye, RST38h. |
| 05:23.49 | RST38h | Macer: it is 100% comfortable to talk on. It looks and feels like a phone. |
| 05:23.56 | Macer | hah |
| 05:23.57 | RST38h | You mistake E70 for E61 |
| 05:24.03 | Macer | yeah... |
| 05:24.06 | Macer | i meant the n95 |
| 05:24.11 | Macer | ;) |
| 05:24.19 | RST38h | The only problem with E70 is that people mistake it for a gun holster when it is in your pocket |
| 05:24.25 | Macer | haha |
| 05:24.34 | Macer | don't want that at school nowadays |
| 05:24.47 | Macer | you'll get tackled and not even know why |
| 05:24.51 | disco_stu | people.. see you tomorrow for more talking |
| 05:24.54 | RST38h | not here |
| 05:24.57 | disco_stu | bye |
| 05:25.17 | disco_stu | i'll hit the bed |

| 06:55.37 | Khertan_n810 | hi again |
| 06:56.20 | johnx | hallo |
| 06:56.38 | johnx | did you really get disconnected right after complaining about Orange? or did you just quit on purpose? |
| 06:59.06 | Khertan_n810 | nope disconnected |
| 06:59.24 | Khertan_n810 | they have decided to block port 993 |
| 06:59.49 | Khertan_n810 | and smtp other than smtp.orange.fr |
| 06:59.52 | qwerty12 | Heh, Orange sucks in the UK too. Shame you have Orange as your biggest provider :P |
| 07:00.11 | Khertan_n810 | no really choice in france |
| 07:00.51 | Khertan_n810 | but their smtp don t work with ssl |
| 07:01.23 | johnx | move to Japan. 3G coverage is incredible except while hiking in the mountains |
| 07:01.52 | Khertan_n810 | yep coverage is a shame |
| 07:01.59 | johnx | too bad unlimited data plans are so expensive here... |
| 07:02.07 | Khertan_n810 | but it s not really a problem |
| 07:02.23 | Khertan_n810 | the real problem is limited data plan |
| 07:02.35 | Khertan_n810 | nammed 'unlimited' |
| 07:02.42 | Khertan_n810 | with lim'ited access |
| 07:02.55 | Khertan_n810 | called full internet access |
| 07:03.04 | Khertan_n810 | s/called/nammed |
| 07:03.22 | Khertan_n810 | they lock many things |
| 07:03.32 | Khertan_n810 | example the port 25 or 993 |
| 07:03.38 | Khertan_n810 | no ssl ... no ssh |
| 07:04.03 | Khertan_n810 | this suck ! |
| 07:04.40 | Khertan_n810 | and nothing in the CGV (in english contract) |
| 07:04.51 | Khertan_n810 | about that |
| 07:05.38 | *** join/#maemo benh (n=benh@147.17.168.202-static.velocitynet.com.au) |
| 07:05.52 | Khertan_n810 | and when they lock something the answer isn t a standart one |
| 07:06.08 | Khertan_n810 | example on http |
| 07:06.24 | *** join/#maemo trickie|work (n=trickie@a5061.upc-a.chello.nl) |
| 07:06.32 | Khertan_n810 | answer isn t a 403 |
| 07:07.14 | johnx | do they block by port or protocol? |
| 07:09.00 | johnx | if it were me, I would setup an ssh tunnel or proxy on a computer with a real inet connection |
| 07:10.43 | RST38h | This is difficult to do on a phone |
| 07:10.55 | johnx | RST38h, but not on an n810... |
| 07:11.00 | RST38h | yea |
| 07:11.41 | johnx | <3 ssh tunnels |
| 07:13.58 | Khertan_n810 | they block port |
| 07:14.06 | johnx | so don't use standard ports |
| 07:14.09 | Khertan_n810 | and block ssh tunneling it seems |
| 07:14.19 | johnx | setup an ssh server that answers on :80 |
| 07:14.35 | Khertan_n810 | already try |
| 07:14.38 | johnx | O_o |
| 07:14.43 | RST38h | Bastards |
| 07:14.45 | Khertan_n810 | stupid proxy |
| 07:14.54 | RST38h | Can you tunnel using HTTP packets? ;) |
| 07:14.55 | johnx | aaah, you're already behind a proxy? |
| 07:14.58 | johnx | weak sauce |
| 07:15.20 | RST38h | There are two possible solutions: |
| 07:15.36 | RST38h | 1. They probably have a special data plan that gives you complete Net access |
| 07:15.58 | *** join/#maemo tbf (n=mathias@mail.openismus.com) |
| 07:15.58 | RST38h | 2. If they don't, drop the bastards and sign up with somebody else |
| 07:22.09 | Khertan_n810 | RST38h: which one ... |
| 07:22.18 | Khertan_n810 | sfr do the same thing |
| 07:22.36 | Khertan_n810 | bouygues don t have unlimited data plan |
| 07:22.47 | Khertan_n810 | and do similar things too |

| 09:30.15 | Mousey | anybody seen this before? Version of 'sw-release': RX-44_2008SE_2.2007.51-3.4.SINGTEL_PR_SI0 |
| 09:30.31 | johnx | yup, on itt a couple people have it |
| 09:30.37 | wiza | I only use it for gps anymore, e90 handles all the rest |
| 09:30.44 | GeneralAntilles | Mousey, are you in Singapore? |

| 09:31.53 | johnx | O_o |
| 09:31.55 | Mousey | actually, like i said, i got it back from repair |
| 09:32.07 | Mousey | turned it on, and hello, cool walllpaper |

| 09:32.57 | Mousey | bless their little southern hearts for sending me a working tablet tho.. ^__^ |

| 09:33.58 | GeneralAntilles | No |

| 09:34.10 | Mousey | oh my |
| 09:34.56 | Mousey | grasps at straws |
| 09:36.38 | Mousey | hey, is there something i can flash [of the individual things to flash] that maybe will let me just reflash the whole image once i've done it? i mean.. once i flash every individual piece, would that mean i could then -re-flash- it with the whole image? |
| 09:36.57 | GeneralAntilles | I believe so |
| 09:37.21 | GeneralAntilles | but my brain's not in the mode to either recall whether or not that's true. |

| 12:26.59 | prometoys | I want to recompile the packages hugs and ocaml for maemo, both are just terminal applications |
| 12:27.55 | johnx | in that case they shouldn't need to be ported |
| 12:28.12 | johnx | you might want to look at mud-builder to get a headstart packaging |
| 12:28.38 | prometoys | johnx: ok, but I must recompile them for ARM, right? |
| 12:28.48 | johnx | yes |
| 12:29.11 | johnx | but with mud builder you can borrow the packaging work from debian for the most part |
| 12:29.25 | johnx | you just have to make sure that nothing in the package or the application relies on bash |
| 12:30.17 | prometoys | johnx: thank you for the hint, I will read the docu of mud-builder |

| 13:46.14 | johnx | huh...though thinking about it, it can also detect a hung system I believe |
| 13:46.20 | baconific | i think ill put a wrapper and have main app ping a deadmans button (like in lost heh) every few seconds |
| 13:46.30 | lardman | baconific: yes |
| 13:46.42 | johnx | that's how dsmetool/watchdog deals with a hung system |
| 13:47.36 | johnx | if they don't write to a file in /proc every 30? 60? seconds the system reboots |
| 13:47.36 | baconific | thanks john, ill look more into it when im not so poorly |
| 13:47.38 | johnx | just be careful not to make the consequences worse than the situation like watchdog is now :) |
| 13:47.39 | baconific | ooooer not reboot lol, just kill and restart |
| 13:48.05 | lardman | or is it done the same way as the DSP kernel handled, it's polled every X seconds and if it doesn't respond in time it's considered to be "hung" |
| 13:48.08 | aquatix | lcuk: i can has bacon? |
| 13:48.41 | lardman | where the polling might be via dbus for example |
| 13:48.44 | aquatix | or baconific :) |
| 13:48.45 | baconific | simon :) how flexibl-le is dsp, can it read data from files directly and write to arbitary memory |
| 13:48.54 | baconific | aq :) |
| 13:49.10 | aquatix | updated liqbase last night ;) |
| 13:49.12 | lardman | baconific: can't read from files directly, and can only write to a shared memory region (which you map on the ARM) |
| 13:49.28 | lardman | baconific: what are you thinking of? |
| 13:49.51 | baconific | dang! so there goes my hope of reading pngs and jpegs on a 2nd core |
| 13:50.05 | lardman | well you could certainly decode them there |
| 13:50.27 | lardman | but you need an ARM-side stub to pass buffers of data over and receive decoded data back - not a big issue |
| 13:50.33 | baconific | yes, i was hoping to offload as much as possible for a smooth scroll |
| 13:50.48 | lardman | certainly doable, I was thinking of try jpeg decompression at some point |
| 13:50.54 | baconific | arbitary cache window |
| 13:51.17 | baconific | nice then ill see if i can prep stuff in a way to test it |
| 13:51.41 | baconific | so if arm loads file to memory and passes pointer it might be doable |
| 13:51.43 | lardman | not arbitrary, you have to map the a shared memory region, then you get a buffer which the DSP can read/write |
| 13:52.22 | lardman | the other option is to hook into libjpeg/libpng and use the DSP to perform the processing (use bulk buffer transfers inside that); would be transparent to the app |
| 13:52.52 | lardman | would also speed up any other apps that use those libs (assuming it's faster of course) |
| 13:52.58 | baconific | and help everyone :) i like thne idea of that more |
| 13:53.29 | lardman | will be interesting, will need re-entrant code as only one dsp task of a given type can run |
| 13:53.54 | baconific | thats got maximun scope - how does dsp do multiprocessing tho, can you continue audio whilst other things |
| 13:54.05 | sp3000 | oh, the maemo mapper update seems to have made every hw key "pan north" (except esc) |
| 13:54.12 | lardman | hmm, but perhaps that's not a major issue, just fall back to arm decoding for every other attempt to use libjpeg |
| 13:54.24 | lardman | baconific: yes, it's threaded |
| 13:54.52 | baconific | :) |
| 13:55.27 | baconific | im just thinkin at this point anyway, im far too bleugh to get infront of actual machine |
| 13:55.41 | lardman | shall I start a project? |

| 13:56.36 | lardman | but spam is full of protein! |
| 13:56.41 | jaska | om nom nom? |
| 13:56.48 | baconific | lard, dont you always curse dsp 16 bit bytes |
| 13:56.55 | lardman | yes |
| 13:56.57 | baconific | jpeg is compex algo isnt it |
| 13:57.28 | baconific | unless there is a prewritten dsp16 algo avail already? |
| 13:57.32 | lardman | yes, but there are already macros to handle at least part of the jpeg process and I think I've seen an example code too |
| 13:58.22 | baconific | excellent, start a pro if it will help centralize efforts, we can use it to post infoas discovered |
| 14:00.20 | baconific | :) should we push for a monster 16 core internet tablet |
| 14:01.02 | johnx | 3 cores should be enough for anyone :) |

| 14:02.40 | baconific | heh |
| 14:04.14 | lardman | right, have submitted dsp-jpeg |
| 14:04.32 | lardman | wrong dsp, but some ideas here: http://focus.ti.com/lit/an/spra704/spra704.pdf and here http://focus.ti.com/lit/an/spra615/spra615.pdf |
| 14:05.08 | baconific | nice, would this code be usable on omap3 or are they not compatible |
| 14:05.45 | lardman | omap3 has an 8bit type, not sure about the intrinsics those files probably use |
| 14:06.03 | lardman | but should be reasonably easy to get something running - in fact the libjpeg code might even just compile |
| 14:06.11 | lardman | (with tweaks for input/output/etc) |
| 14:06.18 | baconific | yeah cool lets see |
| 14:07.21 | lardman | baconific: I'm not around this weekend (or tomorrow for that matter), so won't be able to do anything until next week anyway |
| 14:08.35 | baconific | no prob whatsoever simon, i was just thinking outloud - the number of images i am creatng now causes me to look for optimum ways to load them |

| 17:08.40 | Stskeeps | johnx: want to be test person of a optimized glibc once this thing is done distccing? |
| 17:08.52 | johnx | sure |
| 17:09.09 | johnx | can I just dpkg -i or will it be a new install? |
| 17:09.27 | melmoth | _julian: /etc/init.d and regular system V init script s ? though i m not sure it will have a DISPLAY |
| 17:09.28 | Stskeeps | think it would dpkg -i'able |
| 17:09.36 | melmoth | but it may launch an osso service request |
| 17:09.37 | Stskeeps | and a new install if it hoses it ;) |

| 17:11.04 | disco_stu | i've heard a lot about them |
| 17:11.14 | johnx | it depends on what you want |
| 17:11.15 | Stskeeps | johnx: yeah.. my deblet work isn't so active right now either |

| 17:12.26 | johnx | disco_stu, really. how's the web browsing on newtons over wifi? |
| 17:12.52 | johnx | do they have a good command line environment? |
| 17:13.24 | disco_stu | johnx: PIM oriented activity |
| 17:13.56 | johnx | ah, I do PIM on my phone. my main interest is web/music/video/ and sometimes commandline |
| 17:14.11 | _julian | melmoth: hmm ok, should be possible |
| 17:14.27 | Stskeeps | would really enjoy a simple ical reader + "internal" "mail to myself" button |

| 17:16.11 | GeneralAntilles | johnx, SSH works on the Newton. ;) |
| 17:16.25 | GeneralAntilles | Web browsing is about as good as one would expect for a device from 1996. |
| 17:16.36 | johnx | I'm not knocking it for its *time* |
| 17:16.44 | GeneralAntilles | The tablets kind of felt like a logical next step to me. |
| 17:16.52 | johnx | just as I'd expect anyone to respect a zaurus 5500 circa 2002 |
| 17:16.54 | GeneralAntilles | But I use the devices very differently. |
| 17:17.36 | GeneralAntilles | Newton is more of an electronic piece of paper. Sketching, note taking, PIM, etc. while the tablets are internet, communication, and media-oriented. |
| 17:18.19 | GeneralAntilles | Somebody should get lcuk a Newton to play with. . . . |
| 17:18.22 | johnx | I'm really starting to like the idea of a clamshell foldout "book" with two edge-to-edge touchscreens |

| 17:22.33 | RST38h | lcuk: Would just have a huge piece of "paper", scrollable one, with settable background (like Xournal) |
| 17:22.56 | johnx | Stskeeps, also, it's a good test to see if qgil was speaking for all Nokia :) |

| 17:23.47 | RST38h | lcuk: For camera use, it would have a camera icon - you press the button and it places camera snapshot at whatever part of the "paper" you are currently viewing - you can add your own doodles straight on top og it afterwards |
| 17:23.49 | Stskeeps | it'd be a matter of a cp in the postinst of this thing |

| 17:24.50 | lcuk | however for now i must slow right down |
| 17:25.05 | RST38h | lcuk: For document viewing, there would be an "open document" icon that would put the whole document at the current paper" location, extended down - again, you can write your doodles on top |

| 19:36.20 | l7 | i just recieved a card that writes at 2-3 MB/s |
| 19:36.33 | l7 | unless i'm mistaken, it's a POS |
| 19:36.46 | zap | its a failure |
| 19:37.13 | l7 | yeah, it's a class 6 card, so it should write at at least 6 MB/s |

| 19:38.49 | zap | if you want to test write, do dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mmcblk0 |
| 19:38.53 | l7 | it reads at about 15MB/s |
| 19:38.55 | ShadowJK_ | will erase card |
| 19:38.56 | zap | but that will destroy the contents |

| 19:41.32 | l7 | what's the next best thing available now though? |
| 19:41.36 | ShadowJK_ | no idea |
| 19:41.49 | l7 | it seems like cards vary in write performance and also with large and small files |
| 19:41.54 | ShadowJK_ | Even with SSD there's basically only the new intel SSD that doesn't suck |

| 19:43.33 | ShadowJK_ | If you write just 4K, the card itself will have to erase and write 512k. Might be similar for reading too. The result is that when swapping, 4K chunks written pretty much randomly across the card, the write speed degrades to a few hundred kilobytes/sec, at best |

| 21:34.27 | Bilaw | (don't talk, people, I need to copy and paste what mgedmin juste said!) |
| 21:34.59 | l7 | johnx: ouch, so i see |
| 21:35.01 | qwerty12_N800 | johnx, maemo.org servers suck balls, what can i say :/ |
| 21:35.38 | l7 | bleh, is it possible to export to the wiki to some other hosting site? |
| 21:35.52 | l7 | assuming all the contributions are CC licensed or whatever |
| 21:36.31 | l7 | though it was moinmoin wiki from what i recall, and i don't remember too many free moinmoin hosts |
| 21:37.10 | Bilaw | ... Finishing Flashing... done |
| 21:37.26 | Bilaw | It looks like it is all correct, mgedmin! |
| 21:37.33 | l7 | man, archive.org didn't index the maemo wiki much |
| 21:38.32 | Bilaw | Well, many thanks, johnx, Fatal, and mgedmin! |
| 21:38.46 | johnx | sure :) |
| 21:39.54 | Bilaw | Now, another question: is it as complicated to install applications from my PC, given that I have no wifi connection available? |
| 21:41.01 | l7 | hmm, it's a bit less than ideal i think |
| 21:41.36 | Stskeeps | Bilaw: look into usbnet.. |

| 21:44.30 | Stskeeps | lcuk: on the side, though a laptop |
| 21:44.33 | Bilaw | hm... hours and hours of forthcoming fun, as we say here, Stskeeps |
| 21:44.36 | mgedmin | everyone who is flashing a new os image? |
| 21:44.37 | Khertan_n810 | and if i m not sit count ? |
| 21:44.57 | Stskeeps | Bilaw: it's kinda simple under ubuntu.. it's on the very slow wiki on how to do it :P |
| 21:45.00 | lcuk | can you do the inverse of bluemaemo - and use your laptop keyboard with maemo - simply without the whole vnc thing - just make your laptop app ear as a keyboard for n800 |
| 21:45.10 | mgedmin | it's called ssh |
| 21:45.17 | lcuk | not quite the same |
| 21:45.18 | mgedmin | not really... |
| 21:45.21 | lcuk | im thinking within gui apps |
| 21:45.30 | Stskeeps | lcuk: synergy |
| 21:45.33 | mgedmin | I was looking for a vnc server running on maemo once |
| 21:45.37 | Bilaw | I'm lost, Stskeeps: whats the very slow wiki? |
| 21:45.43 | Stskeeps | Bilaw: wiki.maemo.org |
| 21:45.49 | qwerty12_N800 | mgedmin, x11vnc? |
| 21:45.52 | Bilaw | I'll go look it up |
| 21:45.58 | lcuk | Stskeeps, ive heard about that, but only seen it using mouse |
| 21:46.07 | mgedmin | qwerty12_N800: is it in extras? |
| 21:46.35 | Fatal | lcuk: synergy worked fine for me with both mouse and keyboard |
| 21:46.45 | mgedmin | lcuk: synergy (or the equivalent x2x, x2vnc and mango-lassi) is nice |
| 21:46.55 | mgedmin | it redirects your keystrokes to the machine where your shared cursor is at the moment |
| 21:47.06 | lcuk | well then one step further, can bluemaemo work from tablet to tablet? ( i assume it could?) |
| 21:47.14 | Stskeeps | http://internettablettalk.com/forums/showpost.php?p=236140&postcount=26 <- kinda scary long post |
| 21:48.20 | qwerty12_N800 | mgedmin, no :(. i actually built the latest version from cvs but never got round to debianising it. right now a dodgy deb lies somewhere in my /scratchbox... |
| 21:48.21 | lcuk | just based on this: http://liqbase.net/double_tiny.JPG |
| 21:48.55 | Stskeeps | what is it qole uses in easy debian again? xephyr? |
| 21:49.03 | qwerty12_N800 | Stskeeps, two cents? more like $20 :p |
| 21:50.05 | Stskeeps | i just kinda wonder if "normal apps" in xephyr could help the issue of non-hildon apps |
| 21:50.09 | Stskeeps | i mean |
| 21:50.37 | Stskeeps | if it's possible to make xephyr do scrolling, maybe in a kinetic fashion, that'd be excellent for integrating non-hildon apps into hildon |
| 21:51.01 | Stskeeps | that'd give you access to normal apps without issues |
| 21:51.39 | Stskeeps | or maybe it changes resolution dynamically |
| 21:51.39 | Stskeeps | :P |
| 21:51.43 | Stskeeps | .. am i ranting or is this a good idea? |
| 21:51.50 | johnx | Stskeeps, that is a pretty impressive wishlist. I think I wrote one for santa like that when I was a kid... |
| 21:52.03 | Stskeeps | yeah |
| 21:52.12 | Stskeeps | i think he just summarized iTT through the last year |
| 21:52.15 | l7 | qwerty12_N800: thanks, rootsh worked like a charm :) |
| 21:52.29 | qwerty12_N800 | l7, no problems :D |
| 21:52.33 | l7 | i'm a bit surprised the n800 only supports 8 character passwords though |
| 21:52.41 | Stskeeps | saves memory |
| 21:52.41 | Stskeeps | ! |
| 21:52.42 | Stskeeps | :P |
| 21:52.45 | l7 | heh |
| 21:52.52 | l7 | is there any way to improve that? |
| 21:52.59 | l7 | i guess it's not like i'm using it for a webserver |
| 21:53.18 | l7 | though it would make a cool server |
| 21:55.32 | johnx | wait, which password? |
| 21:55.52 | l7 | the root password |
| 21:55.58 | Stskeeps | no comment from anyone about my embed a non-hildon app in hildon by embedding it in a hildon window and using kinetic scrolling to scroll to the invisible parts? :P |
| 21:56.12 | johnx | I just set it to a 10 char password... |
| 21:56.27 | l7 | does it work if you only type 8? |
| 21:56.33 | lcuk | Stskeeps, all i can think of is liqbase, but that involves writing your own software from scratch :) |
| 21:56.35 | johnx | l7, let me check |
| 21:56.39 | qwerty12_N800 | johnx likes living dangerously |
| 21:56.50 | l7 | Enter the new password (minimum of 5, maximum of 8 characters) |
| 21:56.51 | l7 | heh |
| 21:56.53 | Stskeeps | lcuk: liqwm |
| 21:57.01 | Stskeeps | that'd really be excellent though |
| 21:57.07 | johnx | Stskeeps, seems like it would use lots of resources and present some real challenges to deal with click+drag in apps |
| 21:57.12 | Stskeeps | johnx: true |
| 21:57.27 | Stskeeps | puts it in his idea bag for hibernation |
| 21:57.50 | johnx | l7, nope. won't let me in with the first 8 |
| 21:57.51 | Stskeeps | now why on bloody earth does dpkg-buildpackage of glibc test all iconv charsets? |
| 21:57.57 | johnx | where did you see the "less than 8 bit"? |
| 21:58.08 | l7 | login as root and type passwd |
| 21:58.08 | Bilaw | having read a little of the USB networking, my answer is: not now, Stskeeps! |
| 21:58.15 | Stskeeps | pft. |
| 21:58.18 | Bilaw | But I'll sure keep this in mind! |
| 21:58.19 | johnx | l7, I just did ... |
| 21:58.27 | l7 | what did it say? |
| 21:58.42 | johnx | l7, just enter new UNIX password: |
| 21:58.48 | l7 | weird... |
| 21:58.49 | lcuk | puts it in his idea bag as well :) |
| 21:58.52 | l7 | that's it? |
| 21:58.57 | l7 | i got: |
| 21:58.58 | l7 | Changing password for user |
| 21:58.58 | l7 | Enter the new password (minimum of 5, maximum of 8 characters) |
| 21:58.58 | l7 | Please use a combination of upper and lower case letters and numbers. |
| 21:59.14 | l7 | looks the same for root |
| 21:59.30 | johnx | l7, I just remembered. the n800 is booted into debian :) |
| 21:59.31 | l7 | i'm pretty sure i'm patched to the most recent version too |
| 21:59.34 | l7 | aaah :) |
| 21:59.44 | johnx | should get some sleep |
| 21:59.51 | l7 | heh |
| 21:59.54 | johnx | that's what I get for long running ssh sessions with the screen off |
| 21:59.55 | macoute | heh |
| 21:59.59 | Stskeeps | johnx: one thing im wondering about is if you can apply a trick you can do on normal xorg.. the thing with cursor in the edge moving to the bigger virtual screen |
| 22:00.05 | l7 | how's debian running on your n800? |
| 22:00.09 | Stskeeps | if that's possible with the newer omapfb driver |
| 22:00.45 | johnx | Stskeeps, yeah, but I think all the "scrollable" area resides on the framebuffer, unless I'm confused |
| 22:00.53 | johnx | (very possibly confused) |
| 22:00.56 | Stskeeps | glibc.. "Testing <something>." "This might take a while |
| 22:00.58 | l7 | i think i will give installing kde 4 a shot later |
| 22:01.02 | Stskeeps | no shit glibc |
| 22:04.19 | l7 | hmm |
| 22:04.31 | l7 | setting a blank password doesn't work on the n800 |
| 22:04.40 | l7 | it lets you set it, but you can't login |
| 22:04.43 | *** join/#maemo chmac (n=chmac@121.91.8.212) |
| 22:04.50 | l7 | though you can change your password again with passwd |
| 22:04.52 | johnx | with openssh? |
| 22:04.57 | l7 | yeah |
| 22:05.04 | johnx | that's an openssh thing |
| 22:05.11 | johnx | dropbear lets you use a blank password |
| 22:05.19 | johnx | maybe there's an option to enable it somewhere with openssh |
| 22:05.24 | l7 | oh |
| 22:05.27 | johnx | I just use pubkey enc |
| 22:05.39 | l7 | i guess it must be a security feature |
| 22:05.53 | l7 | yeah, pubkey sounds like an easier way to go |
| 22:06.04 | nemo | and safer |
| 22:06.23 | l7 | yeah, i was just testing to see what the OS would let me do |
| 22:08.04 | nemo | if you're going to use a blank pass, you might as well just use ssh null encryption too :) |
| 22:08.08 | nemo | save cycles. |
| 22:08.14 | l7 | heh |
| 22:08.36 | l7 | is null encryption the same as sending plaintext? |
| 22:09.01 | macoute | it seems so? :) |
| 22:09.51 | macoute | nemo: blank password with pubkey is kinda secure, more secure than using password-authentication only |
| 22:10.55 | nemo | macoute: pubkey is entirely different |

| 22:22.39 | l7 | maybe i can just symlink off ~/apps and ~/MyDocs |
| 22:22.42 | qwerty12_N800 | johnx, ke-recv starts at S30 |
| 22:22.59 | gregorovius | .MyDocs did cause trouble last update |
| 22:23.10 | gregorovius | PDFs and a moby mp3 go in there |
| 22:23.24 | l7 | oh |
| 22:23.38 | gregorovius | but the devs agreed that was a bug and should be sorted out by next ssu |
| 22:23.46 | l7 | hrm |
| 22:23.52 | l7 | hopefully it won't be a problem then |
| 22:24.00 | gregorovius | you can symlink everything, just remember not to update before reading some opinions |
| 22:24.10 | l7 | hmm |
| 22:24.22 | l7 | i guess i can always unsymlink and update if needed |
| 22:24.39 | gregorovius | that's my point |
| 22:24.45 | l7 | do a lot of people symlink some or all of their home directory then? |
| 22:25.26 | gregorovius | the problem if you do that is that when some app is accessing ~, you can't unmount the memory card you symlinked it to |
| 22:26.02 | gregorovius | I did it, but then having to reboot just to plug it in via usb was a bother |
| 22:26.29 | l7 | hmm |
| 22:27.01 | gregorovius | at least that was my experience, not sure if it happens to everybody or if it's something in my configuration |
| 22:27.26 | l7 | sounds like the less you symlink off, less likely you are to have problems |

| 22:29.10 | l7 | i have to say, the way nokia laid out the home directory with /apps and /MyDocs is much neater |

| 22:31.54 | johnx | say 95% or more |
| 22:32.06 | l7 | oh |
| 22:32.14 | l7 | is it used for swap as well? |
| 22:32.35 | l7 | i was hoping to reduce wear on the internal flash if possible |
| 22:32.57 | johnx | well, in the case that an fs is >95% write performance can fall |
| 22:33.02 | johnx | but no, it's not used for swap |
| 22:33.10 | johnx | you can swap to an SD card if you want though |

| 22:41.24 | l7 | the eeepc seems to have a dev community working on a version of ubuntu for it |
| 22:41.29 | GeneralAntilles | johnx, seems to be 4400 at the low end |
| 22:41.42 | GeneralAntilles | Google says in the 4400-5800 range |
| 22:41.55 | l7 | though the new msi wind looks like too and can run os x for fun |

| 22:42.21 | johnx | I've had a chance to type on most and it has the nicest keyboard |
| 22:42.34 | GeneralAntilles | So, what, something like 10-18 hour active battery life with an OMAP3440? |
| 22:42.36 | l7 | how does it fare as far as running ubuntu or os x? |

| 23:13.00 | GeneralAntilles | Dunno |
| 23:13.10 | johnx | http://www.internettablettalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=24501 |
| 23:13.37 | GeneralAntilles | I don't know if he has an actually production unit. |
| 23:13.49 | l7 | hmm, does the app need to talk to a server that sends it turn by turn directions? |
| 23:14.13 | johnx | l7, not if it has a vector map that includes routing metadata |
| 23:14.15 | l7 | i thought it could just figure out how to get to your destination based on your GPS coordinates and the map |
| 23:14.19 | l7 | ah |
| 23:14.47 | l7 | so it needs to understand how the streets are laid out |
| 23:15.03 | johnx | so maemo mapper just uses jpgs/pngs downloaded from google/yahoo maps which of course don't have any routing info embedded |
| 23:15.06 | johnx | they're just pictures |
| 23:15.26 | *** join/#maemo penguinbait (n=smokey@c-68-62-90-22.hsd1.mi.comcast.net) |
| 23:15.36 | johnx | and the maps that include routing info are largely non-free |
| 23:15.55 | johnx | tiger maps of the US kind of work and are free enough |
| 23:15.59 | l7 | except for openstreet? |
| 23:16.09 | johnx | right, but it's far from complete |
| 23:16.18 | johnx | some areas are pretty great, some are completely blank |
| 23:16.42 | l7 | hrm, how is coverage in europe or canada? |
| 23:16.54 | johnx | i dunno, check their website :P |

| 23:19.06 | l7 | k |
| 23:19.24 | l7 | ah, finally got around to symlinking mydocs |
| 23:20.09 | GeneralAntilles | Better to: |
| 23:20.11 | GeneralAntilles | ~boot-sd |
| 23:20.11 | infobot | rumour has it, boot-sd is https://wiki.maemo.org/Booting_from_a_flash_card |
| 23:21.44 | l7 | hmm, what do you mean? |
| 23:22.04 | johnx | "just boot from sd" |
| 23:22.05 | l7 | booting from a flash card is better than symlinking? |
| 23:22.25 | l7 | oh i see, then my entire filesystem will live on that sd card? |
| 23:22.31 | johnx | well if you're going to keep the card mounted anyways, might as well keep things simple |
| 23:22.50 | l7 | yeah, that's true |
| 23:24.01 | johnx | anyways, off to bed for me |
| 23:24.03 | johnx | 'night all |
| 23:24.07 | l7 | 'nite |
| 23:24.13 | l7 | any idea what is an ideal speed flash card to use for booting? |
| 23:24.27 | johnx | class 6 of course |
| 23:24.35 | johnx | really sleeps |
| 23:24.38 | mgedmin | the faster the better, no? |
| 23:25.16 | l7 | yeah, what is the best bang for the buck in terms of class 6 cards though? :) |
| 23:25.29 | l7 | there's also that x150 x200 spec, which is confusing |
| 23:25.41 | GeneralAntilles | That's for SD cards |
| 23:25.51 | GeneralAntilles | Most everybody is pretty much equal |
| 23:25.54 | GeneralAntilles | Except SanDisk |
| 23:26.01 | GeneralAntilles | Which is better, but you pay for the quality. |
| 23:26.15 | l7 | how much faster is sandisk? |
| 23:26.40 | l7 | perhaps a small 1 2 or 4 gig sandisk would be worth it for booting |
| 23:26.47 | l7 | if there was a noticable increase |
| 23:27.00 | l7 | they have a bunch of different lines though |

| 23:30.51 | GeneralAntilles | But you'll know it by the price. |
| 23:31.08 | GeneralAntilles | l7, not worth the cost. |
| 23:31.16 | GeneralAntilles | The tablets generally wont push them to their limits. |
| 23:33.11 | l7 | hmm |
| 23:33.26 | l7 | GeneralAntilles: what's the best option then? |
| 23:33.35 | l7 | a good off-brand SD card? |
| 23:33.45 | GeneralAntilles | There isn't really a "best" |
| 23:34.24 | GeneralAntilles | Transcend, A-Data, Patriot, PNY, and Kingston are all in there. |
| 23:34.30 | GeneralAntilles | They're mostly all the same |
| 23:34.41 | GeneralAntilles | some people will report more problems with one brand or the other |
| 23:34.46 | l7 | hrm |
| 23:34.58 | GeneralAntilles | Personally, I've been fine with Transcend |
| 23:35.10 | l7 | adata seems to be priced the lowest at newegg, so i wonder if they're worse |
| 23:35.26 | l7 | yeah, i remember that transcend comparison page a while back |

| 23:48.35 | l7 | new bug? |
| 23:49.58 | ShadowJK_ | no idea |
| 23:50.05 | ShadowJK_ | screen went black but backlight is on |
| 23:50.14 | ShadowJK_ | ssh'd in and typed dmesg, and it was full of that |

| 23:54.12 | ShadowJK_ | so I switched it off with shutdown -r over ssh |
| 23:54.28 | ShadowJK_ | it didn't come back, the blue led in the corner was fading on and off very slowly |
| 23:54.43 | ShadowJK_ | and the screen had grey vertical stripes without backlight |
| 23:54.56 | ShadowJK_ | I remove battery, and the grey vertical stripes remained for considerable amount of time |
| 23:55.08 | ShadowJK_ | put in battery again and it works, yay \o/ |
| 23:55.16 | ShadowJK_ | don't die on me before N900 comes out! |
| 23:58.30 | l7 | heh |
| 23:58.47 | l7 | hmm, how do i reset maemomapper's settings? |
| 23:59.01 | l7 | i deleted ~/.maemomapper but the settings seem to persist |
