| 01:06.02 | GeneralAntilles | Why? |
| 01:06.07 | GeneralAntilles | It does exactly what you're after |
| 01:06.14 | GeneralAntilles | You don't even have to do anything once it's set up. |
| 01:06.29 | lcuk | thought the backend may very well end up working that way, i doubt its usable by my 6 year old |
| 01:07.07 | lcuk | is looking for a more rounded experience |
| 01:07.32 | GeneralAntilles | Once it's set up |
| 01:07.41 | lcuk | would like to incorporate jaffas encode thingy and podcasts and music searches and sketching stuff and photos etc |
| 01:07.43 | GeneralAntilles | Your 6-year-old just has to add his favorite feeds to the manager. :P |
| 01:07.58 | GeneralAntilles | Podcasts are rarely outside of the tablet's capabilities. |
| 01:08.18 | lcuk | podcasts are just music files? |
| 01:08.42 | GeneralAntilles | Or video files. |
| 01:08.50 | GeneralAntilles | It's just an RSS feed that points at media files. |
| 01:08.59 | GeneralAntilles | There's no magic to them. |
| 01:09.15 | lcuk | heh yeah - most of the podcasts i hear about are audio |
| 01:09.31 | lcuk | listens to a lot of radio |
| 01:09.32 | GeneralAntilles | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Podcast |
| 01:10.03 | lcuk | yeah i know technical aspects - just didnt engage brain |
| 01:10.20 | lcuk | so jaffas convert WILL be useful |
| 01:10.55 | GeneralAntilles | Like I said, most podcasts don't really tax the tablet's video playback abilities |
| 01:11.02 | GeneralAntilles | Maybe some of the h.264 stuff |
| 01:11.07 | GeneralAntilles | but that's not particularly common. |
| 01:11.21 | lcuk | yeah, but its also capacity |
| 01:11.55 | lcuk | i have perhaps 500mb free and available - i could get my weekly casts into there easily and listen at work or wherever |
| 01:12.11 | lcuk | but you might want to put 32gb |
| 01:12.22 | GeneralAntilles | Well, are you watching video podcasts? |
| 01:12.29 | GeneralAntilles | An hour-long MP3 podcast is about 25MB |
| 01:12.47 | pupnik | at |
| 01:12.49 | pupnik | 32kb/s |
| 01:13.45 | lcuk | no i dont watch much video on device - prefer big tv |
| 01:14.29 | lcuk | technically i dont listen often, but if it can be configured and managed easily i might: tracy uses itunes downstairs and it works (she has a tiny 1gb nano but a massive collection) |
| 01:14.59 | GeneralAntilles | pupnik, well, I've got a 59 minute podcast from This American Life ah 64Kbps that's 27MB. |
| 01:15.12 | lcuk | compression varies |
| 01:15.16 | pupnik | btw, Lew Rockwell has done a great series of podasts relevant to the financial crisis http://www.lewrockwell.com/podcast/ |
| 01:15.17 | lcuk | depends on content |
| 01:15.34 | GeneralAntilles | lcuk, it's not variable compression. |
| 01:15.58 | pupnik | who has xcalc handy |
| 01:16.18 | pupnik | nm.. |
| 01:16.40 | lcuk | GeneralAntilles, 1minute of silence takes a lot less disk space than 1 minute of busy noise |
| 01:16.53 | pupnik | not with CBR encoding |
| 01:17.01 | pupnik | CBR = constant bitrate |
| 01:17.20 | GeneralAntilles | lcuk, it's constant bitrate. . . . |
| 01:17.28 | GeneralAntilles | You're thinking of VBR |
| 01:17.30 | GeneralAntilles | Which isn't what this is. |
| 01:18.06 | lcuk | no |
| 01:18.10 | lcuk | im thinking of mp3 |
| 01:18.14 | GeneralAntilles | No |
| 01:18.18 | *** join/#maemo lopz (n=gentoo-d@unaffiliated/lopz) |
| 01:18.21 | GeneralAntilles | You're thinking of a VBR encoded MP3 |
| 01:18.27 | GeneralAntilles | Which isn't all MP3s |
| 01:18.45 | lcuk | all that happens with CBR and VBR is that the resolution and available fidelity changes |
| 01:19.03 | lcuk | but the fact remains a silent piece of music is more compressable than a noisy one |
| 01:19.05 | pupnik | a rare case where lcuk is wrong.... /me enjoys |
| 01:19.20 | lcuk | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MP3 |
| 01:19.25 | lcuk | :) im not wrong |
| 01:20.00 | pupnik | i know it's more compressable |
| 01:20.13 | pupnik | the fact is, that a cbr encoded mp3 will consume a fixed bitrate per second of audio |
| 01:20.47 | pupnik | er, not strictily true - but mostly true |
| 01:21.11 | pupnik | there is the 'bit bucket' which allows for some variation in even cbr streams, but that's minor |
| 01:21.49 | lcuk | its exactly the same as jpeg in this regard |
| 01:22.54 | lcuk | a jpeg with low bitrate/quality setting looks blocky and ugly/sounds horrid and loses detail, but silence is silence and compresses to almost nothing (repeat this block 200 times) vs make one block to be 27432734234 and the next to be 2384283462 and the next to be 238742374 |
| 01:23.14 | *** join/#maemo jacques (n=jacques@nslu2-linux/jacques) |
| 01:23.32 | pupnik | lcuk, what does "constant bitrate" mean? |
| 01:23.50 | lcuk | that the resolution does not change for the duration of the track |
| 01:24.17 | pupnik | 'resolution' is not an accurate term in this context. the word is 'bitrate' |
| 01:24.21 | lcuk | that does not indicate how many blocks you send |
| 01:24.50 | lcuk | resolution is - its the number of bits you can use to store the waveform data for a particular instance in time |
| 01:24.56 | pupnik | ok, so we have a 128kb/s CBR mp3 stream. how many bits does that use in 2 seconds? |
| 01:25.04 | pupnik | 256kb/s |
| 01:25.18 | pupnik | whether encoding a sinewave or white noise... |
| 01:25.30 | pupnik | s/256kb/s/256kb |
| 01:25.44 | lcuk | so ALL music that is compressed with that 128kb CBR file that last 2 minutes will always be the same length? |
| 01:25.56 | pupnik | same size yes |
| 01:26.27 | pupnik | vbr is an enhancement to mp3 that does what you describe |
| 01:26.48 | pupnik | lowers the actual data rate to match the information in the source |

| 07:15.35 | GeneralAntilles | Slightly odd thread. |
| 07:16.00 | Stskeeps | GeneralAntilles: i think it's in terms of using a desktop UI instead of a mobile UI, as i understand it |
| 07:16.25 | GeneralAntilles | Stskeeps, which hardly seems the point of Deblet to me. |
| 07:17.00 | Stskeeps | well, and that it might actually be an alternative to maemo.. but it's also a proof of concept of tablet possibilities, which is what i plan to write on the jaiku when i get an invite :P |

| 07:19.49 | GeneralAntilles | I'm posting something. |
| 07:21.27 | camel_liu | Anybody knows about the '302 found' problem of Application Catalog in N800? |
| 07:22.16 | Stskeeps | if you had SDK download problems, they would show in same way in app catalog dl's |

| 07:23.40 | GeneralAntilles | Stskeeps, who do I want to name-drop for Deblet |
| 07:23.47 | GeneralAntilles | you, johnx, qwerty12, ...? |

| 07:24.26 | Stskeeps | qwerty12_N800: well you did contribute in some ways :P |
| 07:24.26 | GeneralAntilles | Eh, I'm making a point. |

| 07:25.08 | GeneralAntilles | The font size on that site just jumped up by a ridiculous amount. |

| 07:27.01 | GeneralAntilles | Well, mvo seems to think the Deblet people are leaving the tablet community. |
| 07:27.49 | Stskeeps | initially maybe but i'm starting to get a understanding of the good things about maemo, too |
| 07:28.01 | Stskeeps | a "standard debian" won't -ever- get sane power consumption |
| 07:29.05 | GeneralAntilles | But you can certainly have good power consumption while maintaining enough library compatibility to make porting easy, no? |
| 07:29.53 | Stskeeps | yeah |
| 07:30.02 | Stskeeps | well, there's a lot of different things involved |
| 07:30.18 | Stskeeps | debian is still at typical sysv init runlevels and such |
| 07:30.29 | Stskeeps | which is good for a server, but not always for mobile devices |
| 07:30.41 | Stskeeps | some things you simply don't need when you're offline/system idle/etc |
| 07:30.43 | GeneralAntilles | Sure, but certainly there are a lot of broken compatibility areas that have no reason to be broken, right? |
| 07:30.48 | Stskeeps | *nod* |

| 08:43.04 | GeneralAntilles | Well, a platform discussion is a platform discussion |
| 08:43.12 | GeneralAntilles | It doesn't really involve end users |
| 08:43.13 | X-Fade | We don't want te forget that ;) |
| 08:43.21 | GeneralAntilles | beyond, perhaps, opening them up to more software |
| 08:43.26 | Stskeeps | X-Fade: we shouldn't underestimate passionate users either as ways to attract people to buy a tablet |
| 08:43.30 | GeneralAntilles | either through better compatibility or easier porting. |
| 08:43.49 | GeneralAntilles | There is something to be said for winning over the local geek. |

| 08:44.29 | X-Fade | Stskeeps: If Nokia is going to aim to the milions of users. How many hardcore hackers do you think there will be. |
| 08:44.32 | GeneralAntilles | The UI and end-user discussion is really a separate one. |
| 08:45.17 | Stskeeps | X-Fade: well, considering the netbook market exploding a little bit these days.. netbook in your pocket for instance |
| 08:45.19 | X-Fade | Users don't care about debian, opensource, whatever. They just want a cool device, with a cool interface and easy access to cool software. |
| 08:45.39 | X-Fade | What we want is something different ;) |
| 08:45.51 | GeneralAntilles | X-Fade, which is fine, but unrelated to this discussion. |
| 08:46.18 | Stskeeps | X-Fade: maybe the thing about debian, open source, yadda yadda is incentive for the people who'd develop the platform and apps |
| 08:46.20 | GeneralAntilles | Roope can worry about slick UIs to entice users. |

| 08:47.58 | Stskeeps | and the reason i'm even pushing ahead with this is because i know it will help me in my workplace and in my own tablet use |
| 08:48.09 | Stskeeps | for development purposes |
| 08:48.30 | X-Fade | And every unneeded hurdle needs to be removed. |
| 08:48.52 | Stskeeps | i mean, i got upset at that i couldn't set up a simple rsync every night of my xournal notes easily |
| 08:49.10 | Stskeeps | since i'm from a unix upbringing from when i was 8 :P |
| 08:49.43 | X-Fade | Stskeeps: Well, I guess running cron + rsync is an option ;) |
| 08:49.48 | Stskeeps | X-Fade: you'd think so |
| 08:50.11 | Stskeeps | but when the tablet goes into deep sleep it misses the time and fails to do it |
| 08:50.23 | Stskeeps | and had problems with the retu enabled once too |
| 08:50.44 | X-Fade | Stskeeps: Yeah, I think you need to use alarmd for that. |
| 08:50.49 | Stskeeps | (which used alarmd) |
| 08:50.59 | X-Fade | As that one sets hardware wakeups. |
| 08:51.16 | GeneralAntilles | can't imagine what's going on with the alarmd sources. |

| 10:16.06 | RST38h | Settings is really a useless category for the tablets, they are System by nature |
| 10:16.28 | GeneralAntilles | They're approaching it from a Start menu viewpoint and we're going from a package categories viewpoint |
| 10:16.31 | RST38h | And with Media, FreeDesktop seems to be confused - they have got three awkwardly named categories |

| 10:24.35 | GeneralAntilles | Alright |
| 10:24.38 | GeneralAntilles | This is my list: http://wiki.maemo.org/Task:Package_categories#Defined_top-level_categories_.26_application-specific_subcategories |
| 10:24.48 | Jaffa | 1) I don't think we should use sub-categories for anything other than application multi-packages until we have far too many packages to worry about it |
| 10:25.08 | GeneralAntilles | Yeah, I'm with Jaffa. |
| 10:25.13 | Jaffa | b) the i18n for "Networking" could be "Internet & Networkigng" - but can't just be "Internet" as that doesn't cover Samba clients, for example. |
| 10:25.58 | GeneralAntilles | There's an argument to be made for not dropping categories from the existing list. |
| 10:26.03 | GeneralAntilles | What about Tools? |

| 10:27.49 | GeneralAntilles | Where does nano go? |
| 10:27.51 | GeneralAntilles | Utilities? |
| 10:28.07 | johnx | yes, I suppose |
| 10:28.09 | Jaffa | Utilities/Accessories |
| 10:28.20 | GeneralAntilles | OK, fair enough. |
| 10:28.23 | johnx | the only problem with those categories is if we'll use them for the menu too, they'll be kind of lopsided |
| 10:28.26 | aquatix | yeah, Utilities/Accessories sounds logical |
| 10:28.41 | johnx | sorry, fell off the inet earlier...computer crapped out |
| 10:29.34 | GeneralAntilles | johnx, I'm sure Nokia has some plans for the application menu. |
| 10:29.51 | Jaffa | Any time a problematic package comes up, I want it recorded in that page the consensus of where best it could go. Then, if it doesn't go anywhere, the categorisation needs improvement |

| 10:33.38 | melmoth | any idea where to find liblocation-dev ? (i have been asked , and i have no access to scratchibox right now) |
| 10:34.01 | melmoth | is it one of the package that comes with the sdk, or is it in a repo (if yes, wich one ? ) |

| 10:41.29 | GeneralAntilles | Anybody? Shall we push to -developers? |
| 10:42.11 | X-Fade | We also need to decide what we want to do with these top-level categories. Push it to the packaging policy? |
| 10:42.36 | GeneralAntilles | Who is handling the policy? |
| 10:42.45 | X-Fade | Or have our own policy for the extras repositories. |
| 10:43.04 | X-Fade | I guess Eero's team. |
| 10:43.39 | GeneralAntilles | It should go to the policy. |
| 10:45.33 | *** join/#maemo tekojo (n=tekojo@dasasob.nokia.com) |
| 10:45.41 | Jaffa | X-Fade/GeneralAntilles: did you see mvo's suggestion of not altering the deb if you want to change a package's section; but doing it in the repo's Packages index? |
| 10:45.55 | GeneralAntilles | Yeah, that sounds workable to me. |
| 10:46.04 | GeneralAntilles | Though that doesn't stop Nokia from being evil. |
| 10:46.05 | Jaffa | An interesting idea (forcing it in the app mgr prevents in-house, proprietary, turnkey, bespoke systems internally) |
| 10:46.08 | X-Fade | Jaffa: There is something like the 'overrides' file in the repo. |
| 10:46.16 | GeneralAntilles | Nor random 3rd-party repos. |
| 10:46.28 | X-Fade | Jaffa: I have to investigate if our tools use it. |
| 10:46.53 | GeneralAntilles | Doing it in the Application Manager also means less work for X-Fade. ;) |
| 10:47.22 | X-Fade | GeneralAntilles: But then the packages themselves stay crappy. |
| 10:47.41 | GeneralAntilles | True enough |
| 10:47.43 | X-Fade | Although we will give the developers warnings when they upload. |
| 10:47.51 | GeneralAntilles | How does Debian enforce? |
| 10:47.53 | X-Fade | So I guess most will change. |
| 10:48.03 | X-Fade | reject. |
| 10:48.08 | GeneralAntilles | Yeah |
| 10:48.10 | GeneralAntilles | Bad for us |
| 10:48.15 | GeneralAntilles | For the time being, anyway. |
| 10:48.17 | Jaffa | Indeed. |
| 10:48.21 | X-Fade | Yes, that is no option. |
| 10:48.28 | X-Fade | So warnings is the best we can do. |
| 10:48.33 | Jaffa | Although, I don't imagine it being too far off, given how nice everyone's been about putting stuff in extras. |
| 10:48.35 | X-Fade | And some positive encouragement. |
| 10:48.48 | Jaffa | Warnings are only for the auto-builder, aren't they? There's the non-free stuff in Extras to worry about too |
| 10:48.59 | GeneralAntilles | cronjob? |
| 10:49.10 | GeneralAntilles | email the uploader? |
| 10:49.14 | X-Fade | Jaffa: Yes, but we can mail the uploader there too. It is a bit more work, but doable. |
| 10:49.27 | GeneralAntilles | Unrelated, do you know who uploaded the ntp packages, X-Fade? |
| 10:49.28 | X-Fade | We have the email for each uploader. |

| 11:03.12 | RST38h | General: It reports 302 (content moved?) and the app manager absolutely hates that |
| 11:03.27 | qwerty12 | The Chinese government do dodgy stuff with their internet anyway :/ |
| 11:03.39 | RST38h | I do not think their government is to blame this time |

| 11:13.23 | Jaffa | GeneralAntilles: Just edited the page: "Media" is rubbish as a title for "user/multimedia" (or, the even worse, "user/media". Floppy disks, CD ROMs, PNGs, Word documents etc. all get called "media" at some point. |
| 11:13.43 | GeneralAntilles | I don't like multimedia at all. |
| 11:13.50 | GeneralAntilles | Music certainly doesn't go in there. |
| 11:13.58 | t_s_o | entertainment? |
| 11:13.59 | Jaffa | "user/multimedia" is a sensible section name, IMNSHO. "Multimedia" or "Sound & Video" are also good for labels. |
| 11:14.06 | Jaffa | t_s_o: "Games" are entertainment |
| 11:14.11 | lardman | people know what multimedia is |
| 11:14.15 | Jaffa | GeneralAntilles: Then the i18n key should be "Sound & Video" |
| 11:14.29 | Jaffa | lardman: indeed - devices are advertised as "multimedia blah blah blah" |
| 11:14.46 | GeneralAntilles | But I guess we've already got multimedia |
| 11:14.55 | X-Fade | Another thing to consider is the length of these labels.. |
| 11:15.10 | RST38h | Jaffa: I vote for Media |
| 11:15.18 | Jaffa | The longest now are "Sound & Video", "Location & Navigation" and "Internet & Networking" |
| 11:15.21 | X-Fade | They should be relatively short. |
| 11:15.23 | RST38h | "Multimedia" is 1) long and 2) sounds so 90s... |
| 11:15.24 | Jaffa | RST38h: It's not a vote. It's a debate. |
| 11:15.41 | X-Fade | 'communication' is the longest one we have currently. |
| 11:15.41 | Jaffa | X-Fade: Why do they need to be short, if the presentation of the category list is better? |
| 11:15.42 | RST38h | Well, I do not much hope for a debate :) |
| 11:15.45 | lardman | RST38h: but is understandable, unlike media, which sounds like newspapers and tv reporting to me |
| 11:15.52 | X-Fade | Jaffa: Check you main menu ;) |
| 11:15.53 | RST38h | X-Fade: "Network" or "Net" is shorter |
| 11:15.59 | Jaffa | X-Fade: ah, good point |
| 11:16.01 | johnx | RST38h, this is not a democracy :) |
| 11:16.14 | RST38h | johnx: yea, that is what I meant :) |
| 11:16.17 | lardman | true, and his highness disagrees with us |
| 11:16.24 | lardman | ;) |
| 11:16.30 | Jaffa | lardman: he's chair - not emperor ;-) |
| 11:16.31 | X-Fade | Jaffa: I have no idea what the plans are for the menu, but it is something we need to consider at least. |
| 11:16.32 | GeneralAntilles | lardman, that's another blog from you. |
| 11:17.10 | Jaffa | very strongly believes that "Media" is as generic as "Entertainment" or "Applications". And therefore useless in any form of taxonomy |
| 11:17.21 | GeneralAntilles | I did say earlier that we shouldn't change existing categories without good reason |
| 11:17.24 | GeneralAntilles | multimedia already exists |
| 11:17.25 | GeneralAntilles | soooo |
| 11:17.38 | GeneralAntilles | Jaffa, how about twomedia. :P |
| 11:17.50 | GeneralAntilles | Anyway, not argument from me. |
| 11:17.59 | X-Fade | The only person who sees that name is the packager, the rest sees the i18n variant. |
| 11:18.06 | X-Fade | Which can be completely different. |
| 11:18.23 | X-Fade | Let's not get hung up on that. |
| 11:18.23 | Jaffa | GeneralAntilles: Nokia'll go and put a smell-o-matic in the N900 just to prove you wrong. |
| 11:18.23 | lardman | who wants multimedia anyway, we only need two categories: dsp programming, other programming |
| 11:18.23 | Jaffa | X-Fade: Exactly. |
| 11:18.27 | qwerty12 | boo |
| 11:18.29 | Jaffa | lardman: :) |
| 11:18.33 | GeneralAntilles | Then we can have threedia |
| 11:18.49 | Jaffa | GeneralAntilles: Is that Dia, Sodipodi & Inkscape? |
| 11:19.12 | GeneralAntilles | Alright, multimedia it is. |
| 11:19.20 | johnx | lardman, dsp programming and boring things that no one cares about? more descriptive I think |
| 11:19.32 | X-Fade | 3D screen? 3D haptic feedback? So you feel bumps on the screen? :) |
| 11:19.47 | lardman | johnx: yes, sounds good ;) |
| 11:21.05 | Jaffa | Do we have a conclusion on whether App Manager or the repo should force the section things appear in? |

| 11:24.09 | Jaffa | GeneralAntilles: Cool, ta. |
| 11:24.18 | X-Fade | GeneralAntilles: I guess the real question is: Do we want to add sections later or is this the permanent solution. |
| 11:24.24 | GeneralAntilles | I think we'll notice the bombs going off when big datacenters start going down. |
| 11:24.43 | GeneralAntilles | X-Fade, i.e., might we want to change the list later? |
| 11:25.08 | X-Fade | GeneralAntilles: Yes, because if it is in AM, that means releasing a new version. |

| 11:40.57 | johnx | exactly |
| 11:40.59 | Stskeeps | (extreme example) |
| 11:41.15 | johnx | not so extreme if you look at the zaurus community as I'm sure Nokia does |
| 11:42.08 | johnx | There were several incompatible distros at the height of zaurus popularity |

| 11:46.56 | GeneralAntilles | So users will have to install a "categories update" package? |
| 11:49.07 | johnx | Stskeeps, Sharp's distro ("ROM" in zaurus-speak) had an old version of qtopia on framebuffer, then openzaurus forked qtopia because of license issues, but continued running on the framebuffer. Then there was pdaxrom which had x and gtk/qt but it was incompatible with a newer version of openzaurus that had switched to x and gtk, which was maintained in parallel with the qt/framebuffer version of openzaurus |
| 11:49.16 | Stskeeps | *nod* |
| 11:49.44 | Stskeeps | atleast it's a little more settled on maemo though |
| 11:49.48 | Stskeeps | the outlines are the same in dist stuff |
| 11:49.49 | johnx | Stskeeps, now multiply by each distro having better or worse support for different machines with different orientations and resolutions |

| 12:01.05 | lardman | johnx: From Nokia's point of view it's not so bad though, there are lots of apps, they are reasonably easy to port and the system software is kept uptodate; that removed lots of the causes of the competition on the Zaurus |
| 12:01.12 | GeneralAntilles | Jaffa, there is the point that section list updates wont occur all that frequently. |
| 12:01.19 | GeneralAntilles | Especially after we get a finalized list for Fremantle. |
| 12:02.18 | GeneralAntilles | Maybe another pro for the list-on-server approach is that it means anybody can get the list for any purpose? |
| 12:02.48 | *** join/#maemo qwerty12_N800 (n=faheem@78-86-35-231.zone2.bethere.co.uk) |
| 12:02.50 | johnx | lardman, exactly, they're doing a lot better than Sharp, but lack of updates for "end-of-lifed" machines is going to be a stumbling block, and API changes definitely won't win them new friends among the devs |
| 12:02.51 | GeneralAntilles | If somebody codes up another package manager or some sort of package-browsing web application. |
| 12:03.00 | johnx | back in an hour... |
| 12:03.30 | Jaffa | GeneralAntilles: both good points. I was imagining "Categories Update" being a hidden dependency of h-a-m |
| 12:03.59 | *** join/#maemo madha1 (n=Administ@117.195.169.240) |
| 12:04.20 | GeneralAntilles | So then you're still stuck waiting for an SSU push for a new list? |
| 12:04.49 | lardman | Why does the lsit need to be a dep, the AM should be able to run with whatever list it currently has cached |
| 12:05.01 | lardman | and it should just look to update it when ever it's online |
| 12:05.12 | lardman | or do we want to remove that overhead? |
| 12:05.47 | GeneralAntilles | Just update whenever the repositories list is refreshed. |
| 12:05.53 | Jaffa | GeneralAntilles: No, just some normal upgrade |
| 12:06.10 | Jaffa | TBH, I think this is overengineering. |
| 12:06.16 | GeneralAntilles | Likely |
| 12:06.27 | Jaffa | Stick it all in with the h-a-m and upgrade it if necessary |
| 12:06.30 | lardman | GeneralAntilles: I agree with you, update the list automatically whenever the user clicks update (for the package lists) |
| 12:06.30 | X-Fade | Jaffa: Imaging the breakage if someone removes the extras repository from their list ;) |
| 12:06.48 | Jaffa | Is it ever likely that we want to change the category list *so urgently* that it can't wait for a re-release? |
| 12:06.54 | Jaffa | X-Fade: :) |
| 12:06.59 | GeneralAntilles | Unlikely |
| 12:07.10 | lardman | Jaffa: can the AM be upgraded? |
| 12:07.23 | GeneralAntilles | X-Fade, well I figure it would be pulled in regardless of what's the catalog. |
| 12:07.33 | RST38h | Wait, wait, why are you talking about updating category list at all? |
| 12:07.43 | lardman | GeneralAntilles: exactly, it has its own update path which is hidden from the users |
| 12:07.59 | RST38h | Isn't it going to be generated dynamically based on whatever categories occur in the package lists? |
| 12:08.05 | lardman | no |
| 12:08.15 | GeneralAntilles | Because then we're right back where we are now. |
| 12:08.21 | lardman | otherwise it could just be done automatically on the device |
| 12:08.27 | GeneralAntilles | With Boingo as a category |
| 12:10.21 | GeneralAntilles | Jaffa, so just embed the list in h-a-m? |
| 12:12.38 | Jaffa | GeneralAntilles: Or however it currently gets its i18n labels: extend it to include icons & descriptions, and then anything which doesn't match it gets put into "user/other" |
| 12:13.12 | GeneralAntilles | Right, specifics are up to mvo. ;) |
| 12:14.10 | RST38h | General: You can weed out "wrong" categories on repository submission |
| 12:14.18 | RST38h | Absolutely no need to do it in the client |
| 12:14.36 | GeneralAntilles | No you can't. |
| 12:14.39 | RST38h | why? |
| 12:14.40 | GeneralAntilles | What about Nokia repositories? |
| 12:14.43 | GeneralAntilles | Or 3rd party? |
| 12:14.47 | Jaffa | Or J. Random 3rd Party |
| 12:14.47 | RST38h | What about them? |
| 12:15.01 | RST38h | Well, random 3rd party you can't do much about, just show whatever categories are there |
| 12:15.02 | Jaffa | They shouldn't fuck up the user's experience of the Application Manager |
| 12:15.04 | GeneralAntilles | They can corrupt the category view. |
| 12:15.17 | RST38h | general: they will not, why? |
| 12:15.19 | Jaffa | RST38h: Except we *can* do lots about it. |
| 12:15.34 | RST38h | They will just show up as extra "Others" icons at the end |
| 12:15.47 | RST38h | Jaffa: Just because you can do lots about something, does not mean you should |
| 12:15.48 | Jaffa | Without any i18n |
| 12:16.05 | Jaffa | RST38h: Of course. At the moment, we think we should. |
| 12:16.29 | RST38h | Personally, I think the right categories should be checke don Nokai repos submissions |
| 12:16.32 | lardman | RST38h: you're being defeatist again ;) |
| 12:16.32 | GeneralAntilles | We can solve the problem for good, quickly and easily. |
| 12:16.32 | RST38h | Extras, etc |
| 12:16.48 | GeneralAntilles | So we should solve it. |
| 12:16.56 | RST38h | For 3rd party repos, allow whatever shit they have, but make them aware that they won't get nice icons in app manager |
| 12:16.58 | GeneralAntilles | Not stupidly not solve it for stupid reasons. |
| 12:17.01 | RST38h | Just a generic Unknown icon |
| 12:17.17 | GeneralAntilles | Not getting nicely localized strings doesn't do shit as it stands |
| 12:17.19 | GeneralAntilles | Icons wont change that. |
| 12:17.19 | lardman | why is that easier than just forcing them into the correct categories? |
| 12:17.33 | RST38h | lardman: Just trying to warn people off megalomania |
| 12:17.43 | GeneralAntilles | Pfft |
| 12:17.49 | RST38h | lardman: Forcing people is wrong |
| 12:17.55 | GeneralAntilles | As opposed to rejecting packages from the autobuilder for non-compliance? |
| 12:17.57 | lardman | RST38h: no, not in this case |
| 12:18.07 | GeneralAntilles | This isn't about freedom of speech. |
| 12:18.17 | Jaffa | This is about a good user experience. |
| 12:18.23 | lardman | RST38h: it's annoying, people should follow the guidelines, if there's some compelling reason for them not to, we will listen |
| 12:18.23 | GeneralAntilles | We're preventing lame packagers from screwing up the user experience. |
| 12:18.26 | RST38h | This isn't. This is about fucking up people in general sense. |
| 12:18.35 | GeneralAntilles | :rolleyes: |
| 12:18.38 | lardman | RST38h: no it isn't |
| 12:18.50 | RST38h | I am totally ok about enforcing stuff in Nokia repos (i.e. Extras) |
| 12:18.50 | Jaffa | RST38h: Which people? Give an example of a valid use-case and I'll change my mind. |
| 12:19.10 | lardman | RST38h: there should be no other repos! ;) |
| 12:19.10 | RST38h | But why everybody is so bent on forcing plunger up 3rd party repo holders? |
| 12:19.12 | GeneralAntilles | Extras isn't a Nokia repository. |
| 12:19.19 | RST38h | General: Ok, Maemo |
| 12:19.19 | GeneralAntilles | What plunger? |
| 12:19.24 | GeneralAntilles | No. |
| 12:19.25 | GeneralAntilles | maemo.org |
| 12:19.30 | GeneralAntilles | Maemo is Nokia. |
| 12:19.39 | RST38h | Jaffa: Let us say there is some HAM guy with his own repo |
| 12:19.47 | RST38h | Jaffa: And he marks packages as user/ham |
| 12:19.59 | RST38h | or user/java |
| 12:20.04 | RST38h | etc. |
| 12:20.04 | GeneralAntilles | If they have issues with the package policy then they should address them. |
| 12:20.20 | RST38h | Jaffa: Why so you want to prevent his packages from shownig in app manager? |
| 12:20.27 | GeneralAntilles | Um? |
| 12:20.29 | RST38h | s/so/do/ |
| 12:20.36 | GeneralAntilles | No, they just end up in Others. |
| 12:20.43 | GeneralAntilles | Bizarre conversation. . . . |
| 12:20.55 | RST38h | Ok, so you want to classify anything else as Others? |
| 12:21.01 | Jaffa | Yes |
| 12:21.09 | RST38h | This is slightly better than disallowing it |
| 12:21.13 | X-Fade | Just like you use 'All' now ;) |
| 12:21.26 | GeneralAntilles | Bizarre. . . . |
| 12:21.32 | RST38h | Would you consider making their user-defined category names subcategories of Others? |
| 12:21.36 | lardman | we were considering "non-conformant crap", but that was disallowed |
| 12:21.43 | GeneralAntilles | RST38h, if you're not gonna bother to follow the discussion, then don't just in with random conclusions. |
| 12:21.59 | RST38h | General: I am at work. Can't follow the whole discussion, sorry. |
| 12:22.09 | Jaffa | RST38h: Sub-categories which have a capital letter are shown un-i18ned ('Boingo', 'Canola' or some other J. Random crap app which is separated into a billion packages) |
| 12:22.11 | GeneralAntilles | Then try not to jump out screaming. |
| 12:22.12 | X-Fade | RST38h: There is no i18n available for random categories. That is not very nice for non-english languages. |
| 12:22.25 | Jaffa | s/are shown/should be shown/ |
| 12:22.30 | lardman | RST38h: most of the discussion is on the mailing list |
| 12:22.30 | RST38h | general: I try not to, most of the time. |
| 12:22.52 | RST38h | X-Fade: I don't think anybody has problems with English category names |
| 12:22.59 | RST38h | Never seen anyone complain |
| 12:23.10 | GeneralAntilles | megalomania and fucking is a bit over the top. |
| 12:23.35 | X-Fade | RST38h: Well, then you really don't know much about user experience ;) |
| 12:24.00 | X-Fade | RST38h: It is just plain bad to force English on people. |
| 12:24.40 | Jaffa | goes to find some food. |
| 12:24.47 | X-Fade | too |
| 12:26.20 | GeneralAntilles | Hrm, got this off-list (probably accidentally): I'd add something like user/science Science Scientific and engineering applications for things like Sysquake, Octave, R, 3D molecule display, |
| 12:27.00 | GeneralAntilles | Probably not an unreasonable addition as we already have Education |
| 12:27.06 | GeneralAntilles | Though I don't know what would go in there at the moment. |
| 12:27.26 | GeneralAntilles | I suppose at worst it would simply remain unseen and unused. |
| 12:27.27 | lardman | Well Octave, R and Gnuplot exist, even if not in Extras yet |
| 12:27.41 | X-Fade | I think we shouldn't add too much categories. |
| 12:27.54 | lardman | I agree with that, what about sticking them in Education or Office? |
| 12:28.14 | GeneralAntilles | Hrm |
| 12:28.16 | X-Fade | I'm really not sure about eductation either. |
| 12:28.28 | RST38h | X-Fade: You are not forcing English on people, just allowing 3rd party repos have english-only cateories |
| 12:28.40 | lardman | RST38h: that's poor form |
| 12:28.45 | RST38h | General: Why not rename Education to Science |
| 12:28.46 | RST38h | ? |
| 12:28.49 | GeneralAntilles | Well |
| 12:29.01 | GeneralAntilles | RST38h, there are already packages in Extras which could go in Education |
| 12:29.06 | lardman | Why is Education even in there, what will go in it? |
| 12:29.13 | RST38h | And there are some that could go to Science as well |
| 12:29.19 | GeneralAntilles | and flash card games for 8-year-olds aren't Science |
| 12:29.29 | RST38h | Ok, agreed |
| 12:29.38 | RST38h | Then have two separate categories |
| 12:29.43 | lardman | do they even need a category though, Utilities/Accessories or the like |
| 12:29.43 | GeneralAntilles | gcompris for one |
| 12:29.58 | lardman | let's stick HAM Radio Apps back in then on the off chance ;) |
| 12:29.59 | RST38h | Why not make a separate category for gcompris? It is huge =) |
| 12:30.04 | GeneralAntilles | would rather not see gcompris's million-and-one language packs ever again. |
| 12:30.11 | lardman | RST38h: no! |
| 12:30.13 | GeneralAntilles | Education |
| 12:30.14 | GeneralAntilles | Done. |
| 12:30.15 | RST38h | lardman: and don't forget model railroading! |
| 12:30.21 | RST38h | lardman: and flashlights |
| 12:30.23 | GeneralAntilles | OK, well, consider this |
| 12:30.46 | lardman | perhaps s/Office/Productivity |
| 12:30.54 | RST38h | lardman: No., |
| 12:30.58 | GeneralAntilles | Current proposal is 11 categories |
| 12:31.02 | aquatix | isn't productive at office |
| 12:31.18 | GeneralAntilles | In windowed mode, the current category view with Jaffa's patch shows |
| 12:31.33 | GeneralAntilles | 15 categories |
| 12:31.41 | GeneralAntilles | 12 without any scrolling at all |
| 12:31.56 | GeneralAntilles | The 5th line has a few pixels worth of scrolling |
| 12:32.21 | GeneralAntilles | So we've got room for one more category easy. |
| 12:32.51 | GeneralAntilles | and 3 more after that if we shave a few pixels off the button height. |
| 12:33.13 | GeneralAntilles | Though that doesn't consider non-English i18n. |
| 12:33.43 | RST38h | Replace ugly text buttons with icons (with small inscriptions) and fit as many categories as possible without scrolling |
| 12:33.47 | GeneralAntilles | lardman, I had proposed that, but freedesktop.org uses Office. |
| 12:34.10 | lardman | GeneralAntilles: let's see how it goes and we can make changes as we go along |
| 12:34.21 | GeneralAntilles | lardman, now's the time. ;) |
| 12:34.30 | GeneralAntilles | I think we should add user/science |
| 12:34.49 | RST38h | If you have got ~700x400 space, it will be ~21x12 32x32 icons |
| 12:34.53 | GeneralAntilles | I'd like to resolve as many categories as possible before we start changing code. |
| 12:35.02 | GeneralAntilles | 32x32 is too small |
| 12:35.07 | lardman | the code is generic, that's the point |
| 12:35.09 | RST38h | ok, let us bump it up... |
| 12:35.21 | GeneralAntilles | For reference, the statusbar icons are 40x40 |
| 12:35.22 | RST38h | 10x6 64x64 icons is still 60 categories without scrolling |
| 12:35.23 | lardman | but yes, let's go with science then |
| 12:35.39 | RST38h | General: Let us go with 64x64 - it is a standard Maemo size and should be large enough |
| 12:36.26 | lardman | I'd prefer a list/tree view down one side personally |
| 12:36.45 | GeneralAntilles | lardman, honestly, I'd like to see several views implemented. |
| 12:36.57 | lardman | true |
| 12:36.58 | lcuk | +1 gren |
| 12:37.01 | lcuk | -r |
| 12:37.11 | aquatix | yeah, several views would be cool |
| 12:37.17 | GeneralAntilles | There's really no reason to force everybody to one view unless you come up with something that's just unbelievably, ridiculously awesome. |
| 12:37.19 | lcuk | hello chaps |
| 12:37.24 | GeneralAntilles | There's a shitton of room on the toolbar |
| 12:37.25 | aquatix | treeview, grid (with and without icons?) |
| 12:37.35 | GeneralAntilles | Just add a couple (normal small size) buttons on the right side. |
| 12:37.44 | lcuk | GeneralAntilles, no 1 view suits all: a collection of data has many different ways of being displayed |
| 12:37.57 | GeneralAntilles | https://wiki.maemo.org/User:GeneralAntilles/Improving_the_Application_manager |
| 12:38.05 | lcuk | just one will do gen - it opens a small menu of options (see windows explorer...) |
| 12:38.12 | GeneralAntilles | aquatix, those were my proposals. |
| 12:38.20 | aquatix | GeneralAntilles: ah :) |
| 12:38.29 | GeneralAntilles | Ew, dropdowns. |
| 12:38.35 | GeneralAntilles | lcuk, Finder has buttons for each. :) |
| 12:38.47 | GeneralAntilles | We're not going to have more than 3 views, though. |
| 12:38.53 | lcuk | finder has a lot of free space |
| 12:39.03 | GeneralAntilles | So having a text-dropdown isn't really all that useful |
| 12:39.13 | lcuk | i dont mean text dropdown |
| 12:39.19 | GeneralAntilles | As the longest text string will likely take up almost as much space as at least 2 icons. |
| 12:39.29 | lcuk | and why only 3 - if i come up with a whizzbang new way of listing it - it should be available |
| 12:39.40 | GeneralAntilles | icon-only dropdowns are clunky |
| 12:39.43 | lcuk | likewise yourself - you could find a brilliant new way to organize them |
| 12:39.57 | GeneralAntilles | lcuk, see Sketch's method of selecting brush size. |
| 12:40.00 | lcuk | i dont just mean one or the other - but a way to select from available items is required |
| 12:40.19 | GeneralAntilles | We've got plenty of room on the toolbar |
| 12:40.28 | GeneralAntilles | If we need more than 3 views, then we cross that bridge when we come to it. |
| 12:40.37 | GeneralAntilles | For now, I prefer the method that requires fewer taps. |
| 12:40.43 | lcuk | but isnt this something you choose and then use? |
| 12:40.59 | lcuk | its not like you jump around switching views (after you have chosen) |
| 12:41.12 | GeneralAntilles | I do in Finder. |
| 12:41.45 | lcuk | most people find the view they are comfortable with and continue to use it cos they anticipate where things will be |
| 12:42.04 | GeneralAntilles | Then stick it in the application menu. |
| 12:42.10 | lcuk | fine, np |
| 12:42.12 | lardman | yep, in the menu |
| 12:42.13 | GeneralAntilles | s/tion/tion's/ |
| 12:42.32 | lcuk | just doesnt need buttons because as new views come along you will stress about placement |
| 12:42.36 | GeneralAntilles | Menu: View -> List, Grid, Column |
| 12:42.58 | GeneralAntilles | I don't think there will be a lot of new views coming, personally. |
| 12:43.00 | lcuk | cloud |
| 12:43.12 | lcuk | details |
| 12:43.14 | lardman | well people can of course submit patches |
| 12:43.17 | GeneralAntilles | We've been stuck with the same shitty single-column list of buttons for two years. |

| 12:43.51 | GeneralAntilles | I was asking myself why it took so long. |
| 12:44.00 | lcuk | motivation |
| 12:44.05 | GeneralAntilles | Any chance on getting it to remember scroll position? |
| 12:44.09 | lardman | it's only a minor annoyance, down the bottom of my list of things to do |
| 12:44.16 | Jaffa | GeneralAntilles: not looked |
| 12:44.37 | GeneralAntilles | That's less of an issue since the amount of scrolling has been drastically reduced, but still. |
| 12:44.51 | lcuk | lardman, like most things - "mmnmmn that looks wrong" but by the time you have finished the thought you have done what you want |
| 12:45.10 | lardman | yep |
| 12:46.27 | Jaffa | GeneralAntilles: I was prompted by a) Mrs Jaffa being away on Sunday; b) not wanting to hack on code models for Valable; c) realising no-one else was doing it; d) it being a trivial patch; e) the package categories task meaning that there's some benefit of it in |

| 13:54.47 | Stskeeps | i was thinking possibility of in-flash OS + aufs |

| 14:11.51 | X-Fade | GeneralAntilles: I have just coded up the warning, but I guess I can change the .changes file.. |
| 14:11.55 | GeneralAntilles | The idiot product managers should just be straight with us (for once) and say that they wont accept patches for a particular product. |
| 14:12.01 | Stskeeps | johnx: that's a good question. |
| 14:12.08 | Stskeeps | johnx: we speaking maemo-gtk? |
| 14:12.10 | GeneralAntilles | X-Fade, warning still works for dput? |
| 14:12.20 | X-Fade | GeneralAntilles: Warning in assistant. |
| 14:12.23 | GeneralAntilles | Ah |
| 14:12.29 | Stskeeps | johnx: it's good for proving that it's possible to run dual-gtk.. |
| 14:12.31 | RST38h | General: THAT would harm developer relations and make Quim's job more difficult |
| 14:12.51 | johnx | Stskeeps, well, maemo-gtk is the root. Debian's hildon is patched to not need maemo-gtk, right? |
| 14:12.57 | GeneralAntilles | X-Fade, well, leave the warning for if they choose to ignore the option to switch to a valid category, then? :D |
| 14:12.58 | X-Fade | GeneralAntilles: If you use dput, then the warning will come from the autobuilder. |
| 14:13.03 | GeneralAntilles | RST38h, hey, at least it would be honest. |
| 14:13.07 | Stskeeps | johnx: well the define isn't enabled in configure, yeah |
| 14:13.16 | RST38h | So, the right (from management point of view) way to deal with this is assure developers of good intentions and stonewall |
| 14:13.20 | X-Fade | GeneralAntilles: I can add a select box, should be doable. |
| 14:13.23 | Stskeeps | johnx: fairly simple to enable though |
| 14:13.32 | RST38h | General: You do not get promoted to management by being honest. |
| 14:13.54 | johnx | Stskeeps, ah well, I'll give this a shot and tell you if it's doomed |
| 14:14.17 | Stskeeps | johnx: what example app are you trying with? |
| 14:14.42 | GeneralAntilles | RST38h, well, the alternative is me beating them about the head and shoulders with a frozen trout until they are. |
| 14:14.43 | johnx | haven't gotten that far. I'm still reading af-defines.sh |
| 14:15.07 | Stskeeps | k |
| 14:15.08 | johnx | suggestions? |
| 14:15.30 | johnx | I was thinking maemopad I guess |
| 14:16.02 | Stskeeps | i guess it's a good way to test |
| 14:16.29 | johnx | one of the most maemo-y apps should be a good starting place |
| 14:17.19 | Stskeeps | from compile or from binary, btw? |
| 14:17.51 | johnx | a maemo binary |
| 14:18.04 | Stskeeps | k |
| 14:18.25 | johnx | I'm treating this as "learn by doing" :) |
| 14:18.40 | Stskeeps | the wider experiment is recompiling maemo gtk but changing it into installing into other include dirs and lib dirs, and providing a pkg-config "maemo-gtk" |
| 14:19.09 | Stskeeps | which points to right lib dirs and stuff |
| 14:20.23 | RST38h | General: You want the real alternative? |
| 14:20.48 | GeneralAntilles | Ship my own distribution so I don't have to deal with their nonsense. |

| 15:08.17 | Stskeeps | which one of them? |
| 15:09.17 | johnx | something to do with gtkfile* something I believe |

| 15:24.28 | lardman | In which case I'll quote - told that they won't share sources, I said I wasn't too bothered about the sources, just the db format, and I was told this: "You wouldn't go very far with only the data format, unless you don't mind waiting a few minutes for a route calculation." |
| 15:24.34 | lardman | and then told that the db format is also closed |
| 15:25.24 | lardman | so the question is, do they think I'll be crap at writing routing code (and I'll be offended) or that they either pre-generate routes, or do it remotely (in which case it's interesting) |

| 15:29.51 | lcuk | lardman, with a pretty clear disclaimer, i think you would be better looking at it, expanding on it and then building yourown data unencombered from the reach of their eula and lawyers |
| 15:30.06 | RST38h | johnx: it is quite insane here too, but we own our appartment, taxes are 13%, so it is not prohibitively expensive |
| 15:30.07 | aquatix | lardman: i rather like the app, but the attitude of the developer(s?) isn't too friendly |
| 15:30.34 | lardman | lcuk: getting the data is the problem I think |
| 15:30.38 | RST38h | johnx: most money is being spent on the school and house cleaning help |
| 15:30.47 | lcuk | now if a random blob appeared on the table i might take a peek and poke at it and see what connections it makes |
| 15:30.48 | melmoth | lardman: mind using metro information from openstreetmap ? Should be not that complicated. |
| 15:30.57 | lcuk | lardman - OSM has same problem - cddb has same problem |
| 15:31.05 | lcuk | open source communities overcome them |
| 15:31.26 | lardman | melmoth: does it exist? |
| 15:31.26 | melmoth | Remember the test i made with sayhoo for paris , that ended up eating too much memory ? With only subway station data, it should be usable without using all the memory of the tablet |
| 15:31.36 | lcuk | start with a simple to use and simple to update format that works for your local route requirements and expand from there |
| 15:31.40 | johnx | RST38h, ah, you have someplace big enough to need house cleaning? madness :P |
| 15:31.42 | aquatix | lardman: did you look at the downloadable db's? |
| 15:31.50 | melmoth | lardman: i know that i had subway station in the data i fetche from osm |
| 15:31.51 | lardman | melmoth: yes, routing on subways is very simple, which is why I feel I can be offended |
| 15:31.55 | aquatix | lardman: are they encrypted or something? |
| 15:32.06 | lardman | melmoth: ok, I'll look into it |
| 15:32.20 | lardman | aquatix: don;'t know yet, might just be simple Palm dbs for all I know |
| 15:32.25 | RST38h | lardman: https://garage.maemo.org/projects/metromap/ |
| 15:32.28 | aquatix | lardman: yeah |
| 15:32.31 | RST38h | johnx: ~112m^2 |
| 15:32.47 | johnx | RST38h, let me convert that into tatami mats... |
| 15:32.55 | lcuk | \o/ yayyyy 1000% times better to look at truely open alternatives ;) |
| 15:32.58 | RST38h | johnx: And it gets messed up pretty quick, with two children and somewhat hostile outside environment |
| 15:33.09 | RST38h | johnx: *9 will give you square feet |
| 15:33.14 | johnx | the children would do it I suppose :) |
| 15:33.29 | lardman | RST38h: no source |
| 15:33.33 | lcuk | bbl |
| 15:33.38 | johnx | RST38h, sadly I really do think in terms of tatami mats now... |
| 15:33.42 | RST38h | lardman: You remember wazd here? |
| 15:33.42 | aquatix | RST38h: any idea how up-to-date the info from metromap is? |
| 15:33.47 | RST38h | lardman: He is the author |
| 15:33.56 | lardman | RST38h: ok, is he about these days? |
| 15:34.12 | RST38h | aquatix: it is up to date - the last station opened a few months ago :) |
| 15:34.19 | RST38h | lardman: Dunno, check! |
| 15:34.21 | lardman | ah, it's python anyway from the looks of it, no problem |
| 15:34.27 | RST38h | You can contact him via garage too |
| 15:34.42 | lardman | ~seen wazd |
| 15:34.45 | infobot | wazd <n=az@195.91.167.225> was last seen on IRC in channel #maemo, 86d 25m 48s ago, saying: 'from the tablet'. |
| 15:34.52 | aquatix | RST38h: because for example in amsterdam, the trams tend to change route once in a while |
| 15:35.15 | RST38h | johnx: Oh, I came to the point where visiting US feels weird |
| 15:35.21 | aquatix | or is this purely metro? |
| 15:35.30 | aquatix | should just install and try |
| 15:35.38 | Jaffa | GeneralAntilles: your last email raises another advantage of you at least co-chairing the next meeting: you can give Quim an action to enable more Nokia collaboration on all the stuff we're talking about with the App Mgr. It's gone beyond just changing the categories and the community are now leading the way - potentially down a blind alley. |
| 15:35.42 | RST38h | aquatix: It is fucking subway. The trains are the size of your normal intercity train |
| 15:35.58 | RST38h | aquatix: They run in tunnels too =) |
| 15:36.08 | aquatix | RST38h: myeah, i meant that MetrO from nannika.net has bus and tram info too |
| 15:36.10 | aquatix | quite useful |
| 15:36.13 | lardman | aquatix: bus routing would also be useful, if available |
| 15:36.22 | lardman | yes |
| 15:36.25 | aquatix | lardman: my point exactly :) |
| 15:36.27 | RST38h | I am pretty sure it can do buses as well but bus routes change too frequently |
| 15:36.33 | aquatix | RST38h: yeah |
| 15:36.46 | lardman | RST38h: hmm, not that often though |
| 15:36.47 | aquatix | that's why it would be nice if MetrO's people would cooperate |
| 15:37.02 | aquatix | they have a network of people that refresh the info |
| 15:37.08 | RST38h | aquatix: The routing problem is very very simple |
| 15:37.16 | aquatix | RST38h: true |
| 15:37.24 | aquatix | it's more about the data |
| 15:37.30 | RST38h | aquatix: As for the data sources, local transportation authority tries to keep all bus routes up to date on their web site |
| 15:37.32 | *** join/#maemo AstralStorm (n=astralst@unaffiliated/astralstorm) |
| 15:37.35 | lardman | aquatix: indeed, looks like people do the refreshing for free (http://www.nanika.net/Metro/MetroR-en.html and http://www.nanika.net/Metro/MetroC-en.html) |
| 15:37.40 | RST38h | I am pretty sure UK is no different |
| 15:37.44 | aquatix | lardman: yeah |
| 15:37.48 | aquatix | RST38h: true |

| 15:38.03 | lardman | i.e. length of routes in minutes |
| 15:38.11 | RST38h | doesn't google do bus routing btw? |
| 15:38.22 | RST38h | lardman: no schedules at the web site? |
| 15:38.30 | disco_stu | i can find a bt keyboard for 250, and i can get an asus eeepc for 350 |
| 15:38.34 | lardman | RST38h: I don't want to look at a website |

| 15:38.52 | lardman | I could always get a paper timetable ;) |
| 15:38.52 | RST38h | lardman: Why not? You are not looking, your app is |
| 15:39.10 | lardman | RST38h: yeah, so I need to write the code to scrape the websites too |
| 15:39.12 | johnx | RST38h, wait, 112m^2? O_o |
| 15:39.21 | RST38h | johnx: Yea |
| 15:39.25 | lardman | RST38h: I thought using existing data would be better all round |
| 15:39.45 | RST38h | johnx: This includes two balconies, two baths, kitchen, etc though |
| 15:39.47 | aquatix | RST38h: i'd prefer an offline solution |
| 15:40.03 | RST38h | lardman,aquatix: Make it update once a week, no problem there |
| 15:40.07 | aquatix | otherwise i could as well visit a site |
| 15:40.10 | lardman | aquatix: yeah I was talking off line too; scrape create db, use off line |
| 15:40.20 | aquatix | RST38h: need to write a scraper though then |
| 15:40.30 | aquatix | lardman: :) |
| 15:40.32 | lardman | RST38h: you understimate the amount of work required to do the scraping |
| 15:40.41 | aquatix | scraping sucks |
| 15:40.45 | RST38h | aquatix: it is easier than making a bunch of humans surrender their "IP" to you |
| 15:40.46 | aquatix | and is slightly illegal iirc |
| 15:40.57 | RST38h | scapres regularly in different projects |
| 15:41.05 | aquatix | too |
| 15:41.08 | aquatix | but still |
| 15:41.52 | johnx | RST38h, at best guess I'd say roughly a fifth of that if you're curious :) |
| 15:42.44 | RST38h | johnx: you are not trying to say you have got a 22m^2 pad? |
| 15:43.28 | johnx | RST38h, less than that if you're only counting open floor space |
| 15:43.43 | RST38h | that is disturbingly smaller than an average shipping container |
| 15:43.53 | johnx | ha! |
| 15:44.03 | johnx | but shipping containers don't have plumbing and insulation |

| 17:35.17 | mgedmin | also, are you outdoors? gps doesn't work well (or, usually, at all) indoors |
| 17:35.31 | ryoohki | ok |
| 17:35.44 | mgedmin | I don't know what corner tab you're talking about |
| 17:35.48 | ryoohki | mgedmin: twenty minutes?! |

| 17:36.01 | mgedmin | first fix is horrible |
| 17:36.10 | melmoth | all cold fix are horrible |
| 17:36.41 | melmoth | seriously, the gps is a gadjet on the n810 board. A funny gadget, but a gadjet. |
| 17:36.45 | mgedmin | also, download agps-beta from the tableteer repo |
| 17:36.49 | |rt| | even my garmin takes a while to lock on if you're in a different location than the last time it was on....especially if you're moving |

| 17:47.24 | Stskeeps | qwerty12: what was the exact issue of coreutils nuking busybox again? |
| 17:48.31 | qwerty12 | Stskeeps: dpkg database says busybox provides, replaces, conflicts with coreutils so when you install coreutils, busybox wants to go and a shitload of stuff depends on busybox or a tool that busybox is set to "provide" |
| 17:49.03 | Stskeeps | okay, so opposite to how debian busybox does it.. i wonder |
| 17:49.36 | qwerty12 | If busybox is rebuilt with the Conflicts line removed, you may be able to use dpkg-divert |

| 20:40.07 | Bilaw | Hello all! |
| 20:40.32 | lcuk | never thought he had an opinion on upgrading till today |
| 20:40.38 | lcuk | hiya bilaw |
| 20:40.46 | Bilaw | For some reason I can't reflash my tablet! |
| 20:40.51 | Bilaw | (hello lcuk!) |
| 20:41.28 | Bilaw | the Terminal states: sudo: ./flasher-3.0: command not found |
| 20:42.24 | lcuk | i dunno the linux way :$ (im so ashamed to say that) |
| 20:42.28 | melmoth | Is ./flasher-3.0 readable and executable ? |
| 20:42.29 | Bilaw | (I am in the correct directory... And I tried this, too: "sudo: ./flasher-3.0.amd64: command not found") |
| 20:42.46 | Bilaw | -- nevermind that, lcuk! Remember this talk we had yesterday? |
| 20:43.01 | macoute | Bilaw: you really do have that file |
| 20:43.15 | Bilaw | Well I tried and install Deblet AND update some new maemo thing: my tablet won't turn on, now!! |
| 20:43.19 | macoute | ls flasher-3.0 |
| 20:43.23 | lcuk | heh bilaw :) no i have a very poor memory |
| 20:43.54 | macoute | Bilaw: did you do that? |
| 20:44.04 | Bilaw | -- macoute: I'm checking this! |
| 20:44.16 | macoute | and have you tried chmod +x flasher-3.0 |
| 20:44.42 | Bilaw | Aaaaah! Thats the one I missed! Thank you macoute!! |
| 20:45.28 | macoute | Bilaw: np :) |
| 20:46.01 | vincenzo88 | Goodbye all ;=) |
| 20:46.05 | Bilaw | Hang on: sudo ./flasher-3.0.amd64 -F <RX-44_DIABLO_4.2008.23-14_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin> -f -R |
| 20:46.22 | Bilaw | ==> "-R : no suche file or directory" |
| 20:46.25 | Bilaw | *such |
| 20:46.46 | macoute | why < and >? |
| 20:46.52 | macoute | did you actually wrote them? |
| 20:46.56 | qwerty12_N800 | Bilaw, swap the -F and the -f |
| 20:47.25 | macoute | ah, but qwerty12_N800 is right |
| 20:47.37 | macoute | the error message states that its trying to use file "-R" |
| 20:47.39 | Bilaw | OK, I'll drop the < and >! (But I copied it from the maemo wiki!!) |
| 20:47.50 | macoute | so -f must be for "file" |
| 20:48.25 | qwerty12_N800 | -f means to flash, -F means a fiasco image and the bin goes after the -F |
| 20:48.26 | Bilaw | (apparently it was enough w/out the >< |
| 20:48.40 | Bilaw | ... I'll keep you posted of any further development! |
| 20:48.49 | Bilaw | but many thanks for the help! |
| 20:49.00 | macoute | qwerty12_N800: but apparently the order of flags is not relevant |
| 20:49.13 | qwerty12_N800 | macoute, yeah, my bad |
| 20:49.17 | lardman | well the filename has to come immediately after the -F, but other than that no |

| 20:51.07 | qwerty12_N800 | runs -R in a separate flasher process. i noticed flasher jumped the gun with rebooting when i flashed one of my initfs images |
| 20:52.24 | Bilaw | I'll try and remember that, qwerty12_N800, but hopefully I wont have to reflash too often! |
| 20:52.57 | Bilaw | (wait, qwerty12_N800: isnt -R standing for "recursive"?) |
| 20:53.08 | qwerty12_N800 | Bilaw, reboot |

| 20:54.38 | Bilaw | what's 0xfff, qwerty12_N800? |
| 20:55.13 | melmoth | an open source flasher i think |
| 20:55.28 | lardman | Bilaw: fyi http://maemo.org/community/wiki/Flasher_tool_usage/#3247d5daab42cafaa048402c23cb00c8 |
| 20:55.29 | gomiam | 0xfff=4091, right? |
| 20:55.40 | qwerty12_N800 | Bilaw, an open source flasher, i stick to using flasher-3.0 on the computer though |
| 20:57.35 | Bilaw | // Alright, people, and NOW another attempt at installing Deblet! Let's completely crash the Tablet AGAIN! |
| 20:58.06 | qwerty12_N800 | hmm, what's the easiest way to make bash move all files from subfolders into one folder? |
| 20:58.31 | Bilaw | Scott Grannemann's "Linux"? |
| 20:58.39 | Bilaw | regex? |
| 20:58.45 | macoute | mv -r? |
| 20:58.52 | macoute | qwerty12_N800: mv -R? |
| 20:59.12 | macoute | mv -R foobar foo moves foobar and its subfolders to foo |
| 20:59.46 | Bilaw | Are you serious, qwerty12_N800? Would you really like me to look it up in my book? |
| 20:59.53 | qwerty12_N800 | my bad,i mean all files from each folder into one without the original folders |
| 21:00.22 | qwerty12_N800 | Bilaw, Nah, thank you but I'll figure it out :) |

| 22:07.27 | lcuk | the only problem so far is closing and reopening after app is finished |
| 22:07.31 | lcuk | ill have to look |
| 22:07.34 | lcuk | heh, its only bacon |
| 22:07.37 | lcuk | you dont have bread :P |
| 22:07.52 | lbt | 's OK I like it crunchy |
| 22:07.59 | lcuk | i will have a look at just closing the XV window and minimizing the x11 window |
| 22:08.21 | lcuk | incase the user wants to run mplayer or something :) |
| 22:08.37 | lcuk | some days i curse having to hack it all like this |
| 22:09.08 | lcuk | but other days i scratch at my screen in wonderment at how well it operates ;) |
| 22:09.43 | lbt | would a window of images scroll as smoothly as a window of text? |
| 22:09.44 | lcuk | scratching at my screen - thats the description i couldnt find the word for in my presenetation |
| 22:09.50 | lcuk | go into options |
| 22:09.57 | lcuk | blit test |
| 22:10.07 | lcuk | then press +- hardware buttons |
| 22:10.13 | lcuk | it does normal blits of images |
| 22:10.19 | lcuk | and after you scaled it stretchblits |
| 22:10.21 | lcuk | so yes |
| 22:11.07 | lbt | and did you get the variable scaling working at all? |
| 22:11.08 | lcuk | missed a trick there - i should have scaled once, stored the result then just used the faster standard blit |
| 22:11.27 | lcuk | what do you mean variable? as in stretchblit? |
| 22:11.36 | lbt | the cheap 'lens' effect |
| 22:11.47 | lcuk | heh not yet :) |
| 22:11.53 | lcuk | but i have ideas and it will come |
| 22:11.58 | lbt | yes - but variable across the screen? |
| 22:11.59 | lbt | yes? |
| 22:12.20 | lcuk | not yet |
| 22:13.03 | lcuk | are you running it now on your nokia? |

| 22:13.10 | lbt | y |
| 22:13.43 | lcuk | i just realised, the default installed version starts at 640*480 - all images are using stretchblit to begin with at that resolution |
| 22:13.53 | lcuk | its actually faster at scrolling the images at 800*480 |
| 22:14.22 | lbt | as it happens I went to 800x480 |

| 22:20.43 | qwerty12_N80O | lcuk, did you promote the source too? |
| 22:20.46 | lcuk | and im sure its buildable from that source because I commit from the tablet, clean down vmware and update to latest and build package there |
| 22:20.50 | lcuk | probably not :$ |

| 23:12.43 | fish_ | the audio output of the nokia 770 should be switched from speaker to headphones if i plug them in, right? by hardware i guess? something is wrong here, i have no audio on my headphones.. :/ |
| 23:13.51 | lardman | software switch actually |
| 23:14.02 | lardman | though it should happen automatically |
| 23:14.28 | lardman | should be a sysfs entry to can write to to change that iirc |
| 23:15.58 | fish_ | lardman: ah thanks, thats a good hint |
