| 06:32.01 | jaem | hello again |
| 06:32.31 | jaem | when installing Mer 0.8 from the tarball, on the internal MMC of an N810, how do you add it to the bootmenu list manually? |
| 06:32.40 | jaem | I think I've done this before, but not in a while... |
| 06:35.20 | jaem | actually, more to the point, is there any documentation on the new bootmenu anywhere? I didn't see much |
| 06:41.06 | fireun | I would try again earlier in the day |
| 06:41.12 | fireun | room goes idle around this time |
| 06:41.51 | jaem | ah - fair enough |
| 06:42.01 | jaem | darn - I'd like to try Mer |
| 06:42.19 | jaem | I suppose I could just unpack the auto-install deb and muck around with the shell scripts until I figure it out |
| 06:42.22 | *** join/#maemo slonopotamus (n=slonopot@83.149.10.233) |
| 06:42.26 | jaem | will try that |
| 06:44.35 | neatojones | jaem: which bootmenu did you use? |
| 06:44.43 | jaem | whichever comes with console-tools |
| 06:45.10 | jaem | the info seems to be scattered across the forums/irc/general-interwebs, and it's rather confusing as to what is relevant to any given version |
| 06:45.13 | neatojones | jaem: hmm. I haven't used that one in a while. isn't there a command like pb-easy |
| 06:45.15 | neatojones | or something |
| 06:45.23 | jaem | yes, I used the pb command |
| 06:45.24 | neatojones | maybe type pb |
| 06:45.37 | jaem | but Mer comes as an auto-installer, or a tarball |
| 06:45.57 | neatojones | the two are separate commands. One of them will install it automatically. |
| 06:46.07 | jaem | they only install the bootmenu |
| 06:46.07 | neatojones | Mer uses an auto-installer to install a tarball |
| 06:46.13 | jaem | yes |
| 06:46.34 | neatojones | if you use the auto-installer, I think it requires you to install a version of bootmenu |
| 06:46.35 | jaem | but I wanted to manually install it with my own partitioning setup == manual install |
| 06:46.53 | neatojones | you can do that. I think it's the only way that it actually works. |
| 06:47.00 | neatojones | I tried it the other way and it crashes. |
| 06:47.15 | neatojones | if you have your partitions already made, just fire up the installer |
| 06:47.35 | jaem | does it give you the option? I suppose I should have tried first... my apologies |

| 06:47.46 | jaem | I thought "auto" meant "auto" |
| 06:47.48 | neatojones | Yes. |
| 06:48.00 | neatojones | you can choose simple or advanced |
| 06:48.04 | neatojones | select advanced |
| 06:48.04 | jaem | ah |
| 06:48.16 | neatojones | and it will then ask if you want to partition or if you want to keep your own partitions |
| 06:48.31 | jaem | similar to Deblet? I can do that, then |
| 06:48.32 | jaem | thanks |
| 06:48.39 | neatojones | it then asks if you want to format. if you format, it crashes the installer for me. |
| 06:48.51 | jaem | ok |
| 06:48.52 | neatojones | so, format then run the installer |
| 06:48.55 | jaem | sure |
| 06:49.21 | neatojones | also, I had to select a fat partition or the installer crashed, but it didn't really seem to care if it was really a fat partition or not. |
| 06:49.21 | jaem | does console-tools install the same bootmenu that the Mer installer does? |
| 06:49.34 | jaem | wait... fat for / ? |
| 06:49.43 | neatojones | it works a different way whn it set it up, but has the same purpose |
| 06:50.02 | neatojones | I don't know. I think it's in case you want to have a fat partition. I don't use one either. It works fine |
| 06:50.35 | jaem | are there any docs on either bootmenu? I'd like to know how to set up custom items, or fix any borkage, but I haven't found much clear info |
| 06:51.04 | neatojones | just search iTT. |
| 06:51.22 | jaem | I have been... I was just hoping it was consolidated somewhere >_< |
| 06:51.36 | neatojones | Nope. Not that I know of. SOrry |

| 08:11.37 | jaem | yes, actually - I got the tracking number this morning, and it was already here by the time I read the e-mail |

| 08:12.12 | Stskeeps | good |
| 08:13.01 | jaem | this is actually a recurring circumstance for me... I buy something expensive, it breaks, the warranty gets messed up somehow, I spend a week on the phone, and I get something good out of it |

| 08:14.09 | jaem | I've been trying to set up Mer while watching a movie... |
| 08:14.33 | jaem | it won't boot - just crashes before the splash - is that a known issue? I didn't see it on the release page |

| 08:17.13 | Stskeeps | before installing mer |

| 08:20.43 | neatojones | it gets it wrong for some reason |
| 08:20.53 | jaem | no, it seems to be correct |
| 08:20.56 | jaem | let me doublecheck |
| 08:21.08 | neatojones | mind is backwards. |
| 08:21.20 | neatojones | try switching it and see if it works |
| 08:21.43 | Stskeeps | neatojones: there shouldn't be any mmcblkwhatever in it |
| 08:22.07 | Stskeeps | if there is, b-man has a bug. it should write ${INT_CARD} or ${EXT_CARD} |
| 08:22.24 | neatojones | for some reason. My Mer wants to load with the /dev/mmcblk0p1 and /dev/mmcblk0p2 is the swap even though it ought to be a 1 instead of 0 |
| 08:22.29 | neatojones | yeah, I noticed that too |
| 08:22.50 | neatojones | it was that way before for deblet. Now with the version used for mer it sticks the mmcblk part in there instead |
| 08:22.58 | neatojones | not sure why. Just know how to fix it |
| 08:23.09 | Stskeeps | we had a problem in the installer at first regarding internal/external detection |
| 08:23.12 | Stskeeps | it should be fixed now |
| 08:23.21 | Stskeeps | but it definately shouldn't put mmcblk in the items |
| 08:23.27 | Stskeeps | jaem: can i see it? |

| 08:31.06 | Stskeeps | also make sure p2 is actually the ext3 partition |
| 08:31.42 | jaem | I'll try that, and, it is |
| 08:31.50 | neatojones | I think the new version is mixing something up and though it should be ${INT_CARD}, I bet mmcblk1 would work |

| 10:33.50 | jeremiah | qgil: Where is there info on the security team? |
| 10:33.53 | qgil | is how to make sure that developers are aware of security issues |
| 10:33.59 | timeless | jeremiah: so, you have two bugs.maemo.org accounts |

| 10:34.21 | jeremiah | And no, I only need one. :) |
| 10:34.25 | qgil | and how to have a process making sure that apps promoted to extras are found to be secure |
| 10:34.37 | X-Fade | I would really like to see that the maemo.org repositories are at least at a higher level of security than some random repo. |
| 10:35.06 | X-Fade | For this we would need to actively maintain and follow up on issues. |
| 10:35.13 | jeremiah | qgil: So what is the Maemo security and is it separate from internal Nokia? |

| 10:38.26 | Stskeeps | HAM could pop up a message saying "you might have insecure applications" :P |
| 10:38.27 | timeless | avs afaiu is the internal contact |
| 10:38.34 | timeless | sts: grr |
| 10:38.40 | jeremiah | And kill switches seem truly evil in a community like this |
| 10:38.41 | timeless | ham already has enough messages |
| 10:38.44 | timeless | one more will kill me |
| 10:39.10 | jaem_afk | it would be nice to have a more elegant method than messages |
| 10:39.36 | qwerty12 | Stskeeps, please don't suggest that, even in a joking manner. :P |
| 10:40.16 | Stskeeps | qwerty12: well it checks updates anyway.. why not also pop up Clippy and say "I see you have the following applications installed, which has been marked as maemo.org as insecure.." |
| 10:40.31 | Stskeeps | (pardon my bad grammar) |
| 10:40.58 | jaem_afk | sts: no, pop clippy up and have him say "I see that you have an insecure application. would you like me to enable root ssh login?" - that's more his style |
| 10:41.04 | qgil | jeremiah: so any progress on security for community apps should be build on top of those 2 URLs |
| 10:41.06 | qwerty12 | Heh, I guess I'm just a person who finds Nokia's disclaimer annoying in HAM and takes steps to remove it ;) |
| 10:41.07 | Stskeeps | "Would you like to A) remove them B) keep them or C) let them battle in an arena" |
| 10:41.27 | jeremiah | qgil: Right. That make sense. |
| 10:41.37 | jaem_afk | sts: C), like http://xkcd.com/350/ ? |
| 10:41.49 | jaem_afk | wait... nvm |
| 10:41.53 | Stskeeps | jaem_afk: yes, i have occasionally considered that |
| 10:41.59 | jeremiah | qgil: I just worry about software in the repos that might be rootkits and what to do about it. |
| 10:42.04 | jaem_afk | I have too... but the LCD would be too expensive |
| 10:42.05 | qgil | and any proposals about improving the security of Maemo (the OS) should be dealt through enhancement requests in bugs.maemo.org for instance |
| 10:42.25 | timeless | jaem: nice |
| 10:42.30 | qgil | jeremiah: if you worry about unsecure software in the repos, imagine Nokia :) |
| 10:42.44 | jeremiah | qgil: Precisely. |
| 10:42.45 | Stskeeps | jeremiah: 'rootsh' is about as much of a rootkit as you can get :P |
| 10:42.55 | timeless | or .desktop files |
| 10:42.58 | timeless | grumbles |
| 10:43.08 | qgil | the way to deal with this is to concentrate on extras and the filters to get there |
| 10:43.10 | timeless | who needs packages when you can just send people .desktop files |
| 10:43.28 | qwerty12 | timeless, but you need to be root to add them :> |
| 10:43.47 | jeremiah | qgil: That seems like the right approach, but I would want to be open and explicit about why a package does, or does not get in. |
| 10:44.04 | timeless | qwerty: we don't run .desktop files? |
| 10:44.09 | jeremiah | If it fails some sort of filter, that cannot seem to be arbitrary |
| 10:44.22 | qgil | X-Fade: actually this discussion is very timely since the alpha SDK is around the corner (well, in few weeks) and it will contain everything for developers to start populating a fremantle repo |
| 10:44.46 | qgil | jeremiah: sure, a community process needs to be documented and be open for anybody to watch and judge |
| 10:44.54 | qwerty12 | timeless, well, sh -c example.desktop doesn't really work. They're parsed by hildon-desktop |
| 10:44.56 | SaBer | qwerty12: it seems the "deprecated" third parameter to osso_initialize has to be set to false :( But now it finally works \o/ |
| 10:45.13 | jaem_afk | jeremiah: I would agree, as not doing so goes with "kill-switch" in the 'too-Apple-ish" category |
| 10:45.17 | qwerty12 | SaBer, heh, w00t! |
| 10:45.29 | jeremiah | jaem_afk: Exactly. |
| 10:45.49 | qgil | so to make sure we get the same picture: |
| 10:46.05 | qgil | Nokia would not go to extras and remove an app |
| 10:46.08 | timeless | http://xkcd.com/368/ |
| 10:46.19 | qgil | Nokia would expect that the community process has prevented unsecure apps from appearing there |
| 10:46.35 | qgil | and if there has been a mistake, there is also a community process to remove an app from there |
| 10:47.04 | jaem_notafk | ...would it be possible to notify the user only when they try to run the offending app? Thus preventing random notifications, but still getting the job done? |
| 10:47.18 | jeremiah | So I ought to be discussing a repo filtering process rather than a security process? |
| 10:47.34 | qgil | then Nokia can help by discussing the security criteria, funding whatever tools need to be implemented and put some resources that would help on watching new apps willing to get promoted to extras |
| 10:48.05 | timeless | jaem: too kill switchy |
| 10:48.10 | qgil | jeremiah: well, I don't see the thin line |
| 10:48.14 | timeless | or too spy'y |
| 10:48.20 | timeless | someone would complain we're snooping |
| 10:48.35 | timeless | "i know you run <> x times a day" |
| 10:48.48 | jaem_notafk | timeless: I was thinking that the update manager could "retrieve" any notices, but just delay them to be triggered when the app is actually used |
| 10:48.58 | jaem_notafk | and still let you override it if you really want to |
| 10:49.03 | jeremiah | jaem_notafk: Seems complicated. |
| 10:49.05 | qgil | it's also a quality consideration: if you app is buggy (or malicious) you go out of the main repo and full stop - you can probably still be in extras-devel or whatever in quaranteene |
| 10:49.07 | timeless | too much effort |
| 10:49.10 | jaem_notafk | jeremiah: yes, it does |
| 10:49.16 | timeless | might as well tell you about the updates when it knows about them |
| 10:49.16 | jaem_notafk | timeless: probably - just a suggestion |
| 10:49.29 | jaem_notafk | well, that's a thought too |
| 10:50.06 | X-Fade | I think we can feed security notification back in the Application Manager? |
| 10:50.11 | timeless | http://xkcd.com/469/ |
| 10:50.17 | jeremiah | Okay. This begins to mirror debian's repository policys, where they provide a new package when a package that has been submitted has an exploit |
| 10:50.24 | X-Fade | So a user can be warned about a problematic program. |
| 10:50.38 | jaem_notafk | but does it replace the package? or just add a notice? |
| 10:50.58 | X-Fade | Well, if we have an update AM will already show the SSU icon.. |
| 10:51.08 | jaem_notafk | alternatively, you could just pull some sort of separate feed of security notices from the maemo website, and filter it according to what's installed |
| 10:51.17 | jeremiah | debian _replaces_ the package with a NMU (non-maintainter upload) |
| 10:51.38 | timeless | is that package a dummy, or empty, or what? |
| 10:51.44 | jeremiah | jaem_notafk: That is also a good policy, but put the burden on the user. |
| 10:51.56 | qgil | security is one aspect of the filtering process |
| 10:51.58 | timeless | fwiw, browser studies show that burdening the user doesn't work |
| 10:52.13 | timeless | if it isn't automatic, it's as good as useless/unused |
| 10:52.17 | jeremiah | timeless: The package is a regular full package, with a patch, but security team has created it. |
| 10:52.41 | jaem_notafk | jeremiah: I'm not sure how it "burdens" them... ? |
| 10:52.53 | qgil | what we need at the end is a filtering process considering also that the app is feature complete, installs, is stable, doesn't kill the system resources, power management... |
| 10:53.04 | timeless | jeremiah: so they *fix* the package? |
| 10:53.11 | timeless | what if they can't find a fix? |
| 10:53.23 | jeremiah | jaem_notafk: Well, if you got an app that wiped out your hard drive, you would blame Maemo not yourself. |
| 10:53.24 | timeless | how long do they wait w/ the package deployed and unfixed? |
| 10:53.46 | jeremiah | jaem_notafk: So if Maemo were to say "hey, that is your fault not ours" |
| 10:53.58 | jaem_notafk | jeremiah: if we're considering some sort of notification, aren't we presuming the device still mostly works? |
| 10:54.00 | jeremiah | jaem_notafk: You would feel that that is an undue burden |
| 10:54.24 | jeremiah | timeless: They usually do, but they wait to announce until they have a fix and a new package. |
| 10:54.49 | jeremiah | timeless: So yeah, they fix the package and send the fix upstream |
| 10:55.00 | qgil | "So if Maemo were to say "hey, that is your fault not ours"" - this comes from the disclaimers that users dislike so much :) |
| 10:55.37 | jaem_notafk | jeremiah: I think you misunderstand me |
| 10:55.47 | jeremiah | Exactly. It is unfair to users to pass on trojans, rootkits, etc. |
| 10:55.57 | qgil | still, no matter the disclaimers, if the issue is affecting thousands of users only the calls to customer care and visits to the shop are an expensive hassle |
| 10:56.26 | jeremiah | A platform's reputation is its quality control. |
| 10:56.40 | qgil | or if someone blogs about something and Engadget picks that up and the Nokia logo is involved... these kind of things |
| 10:57.01 | jaem_notafk | jeremiah: I would hope the current process would preclude trojans getting in the repo, in any case - but I take your point |
| 10:57.23 | qgil | jaem_notafk: the fact is that "the current process" does not prevent that |
| 10:57.31 | jaem_notafk | oh |
| 10:57.32 | qgil | and this is what needs to be improved in Fremantle |
| 10:57.34 | jaem_notafk | that would be an issue |
| 10:57.43 | jeremiah | jaem_notafk: I would hope so too, and I imagine it has. But the cost of it happening is too great not to address. |
| 10:57.45 | timeless | wonders what the current process is |
| 10:58.02 | jeremiah | wonders as well |
| 10:58.14 | jaem_notafk | what is the current policy for getting a pkg into extras? |
| 10:58.15 | Stskeeps | jaem_notafk: willing to bet it is fairly easy to upload let's say.. Internet Explorer package which is a trojan ssh tunneling your X11VNC server somewhere :P |
| 10:58.15 | qgil | http://wiki.maemo.org/Extras |
| 10:58.27 | jeremiah | would like some more concrete policy so that users know explicitly |
| 10:59.00 | jaem_notafk | reads policy |
| 10:59.02 | Stskeeps | isn't maemo extras special by the fact it is developers and not maintainers uploading? |
| 10:59.06 | qgil | and more exactly http://wiki.maemo.org/Uploading_to_Extras#Promotion |
| 10:59.15 | Stskeeps | whereas debian maintainers need to show their worth |
| 10:59.39 | qgil | Please make sure your package is ready for the masses and at least test: if it installs without problems if it uninstalls without problems if it doesn't introduce dependency problems for other packages. |
| 10:59.49 | jeremiah | Stskeeps: Yes, mostly true. But the barrier to entry is still quite low in debian. |
| 11:00.04 | jeremiah | If you are not a DD you cannot upload to debian. |
| 11:00.16 | jaem_notafk | qgil: I see your concern now :S |
| 11:00.26 | Stskeeps | jeremiah: still, it isn't quite walk-in-from-the-street-and-upload :) |
| 11:00.30 | jeremiah | But nearly anyone can go through mentors and have someone sponsor their upload. |
| 11:00.42 | Stskeeps | jeremiah: yeah, and the hope is there is some degree of package review then |
| 11:00.43 | jeremiah | Stskeeps: No, you are right. :) |
| 11:00.45 | timeless | hrm |
| 11:00.48 | timeless | so... |
| 11:00.50 | timeless | jeremiah? |
| 11:00.53 | jeremiah | Yes? |
| 11:00.55 | timeless | i can't get my package out of extras-devel |
| 11:00.59 | timeless | it fails promotion :) |
| 11:01.05 | timeless | Please make sure your package is ready for the masses and at least test: |
| 11:01.08 | timeless | if it uninstalls without problems |
| 11:01.17 | jeremiah | Good point. |
| 11:01.46 | jeremiah | I can remove the package from extras-devel by hand if you like, |
| 11:01.46 | timeless | so, um... "help" :) |
| 11:01.47 | Stskeeps | then again, the open attitude to extras does mean development and uptake of platform may be faster.. |
| 11:01.50 | jeremiah | what is it called? |
| 11:01.55 | timeless | nah, extras-devel is fine |
| 11:02.01 | timeless | it's only a requirement for going into extras |
| 11:02.05 | Stskeeps | (at the cost of some sanity) |
| 11:02.07 | jeremiah | Oh I see! |
| 11:02.31 | X-Fade | Promotion should have the QA step. |
| 11:02.38 | timeless | x-fade: so... |
| 11:02.46 | timeless | i talked to mvo |
| 11:02.52 | *** join/#maemo housetier (n=housetie@unaffiliated/housetier) |
| 11:02.52 | jeremiah | X-Fade: Yeah, I agree, that is where the qa should happen. |
| 11:02.55 | X-Fade | Question is, what QA and what policy and who will do that.. |
| 11:03.04 | jeremiah | Precisely. |
| 11:03.05 | timeless | (is that his nick?) |
| 11:03.08 | Stskeeps | members of community |
| 11:03.17 | timeless | and basically he acknowledges that this stuff isn't going to work well |
| 11:03.18 | Stskeeps | timeless: m-vo usually, i think |
| 11:03.23 | X-Fade | Stskeeps: A team of repo maintainers, yes. |
| 11:03.36 | timeless | he suggested i could hack gettext (which he thinks is part of glibc) |
| 11:03.45 | timeless | i told him i wasn't interested in forking glibc |
| 11:03.53 | zs1 | anyone has gentoo? i need to make usb networking :) |
| 11:03.56 | qgil | X-Fade: well, there is a reason why we got a full time debmaster... |
| 11:04.16 | jeremiah | :) |
| 11:04.27 | X-Fade | qgil: Exactly ;) I've discussed this very issue with Jeremiah yesterday btw ;) |
| 11:04.37 | timeless | jeremiah: so... |
| 11:04.55 | timeless | m-vo didn't think dpkg-divert sounded particularly good |
| 11:05.06 | X-Fade | Ideally developer would request promotion. QA will do the promotion after OK. |
| 11:05.11 | qgil | a related discussion that needs a resolution to be made between alpha and beta release is |
| 11:05.14 | Stskeeps | timeless: gettext is in gettext-base in ubuntu, at least |
| 11:05.18 | timeless | i think i'm leaning toward a thing which does a backup at preinst and a restore at postinst |
| 11:05.19 | *** join/#maemo booiiing (n=[booiiin@e180032159.adsl.alicedsl.de) |
| 11:05.30 | qgil | whether we keep the extras-devel ---> extras bi-repo situation we have now |
| 11:05.31 | timeless | stskeeps: the actual gettext() function itself? |
| 11:05.47 | Stskeeps | timeless: oh, gettext function itself - i thought you meant /usr/bin/gettext |
| 11:05.47 | qwerty12 | timeless, I'd hope it was restored at postrm :) |
| 11:05.56 | qgil | or we go for the 3 levels experimental/unstable --> testing --> stable |
| 11:06.08 | timeless | ... |
| 11:06.18 | qgil | extras-devel / extras-test / extras |
| 11:06.25 | X-Fade | I think we all agree that Extras needs to be enabled on the device by default. And that an end-user should expect stable, maintained apps there.. |
| 11:06.27 | jeremiah | qgil: The three layered approach provides more places for qa and automated testing. |
| 11:06.42 | timeless | jeremiah: and more chances that it doesn't get used |
| 11:06.45 | qgil | jeremiah: I know and I'm for it |
| 11:06.46 | Stskeeps | personally believes in personal package archives -> extras-test -> extras instead |
| 11:06.51 | timeless | c.f. sardine (dead) |
| 11:06.52 | X-Fade | Please not that in debian unstable -> testing is a time delay based thing. |
| 11:06.57 | qgil | we have started that discussion many times, but never got to a conclusion, be it 2 or 3 levels |
| 11:07.01 | X-Fade | Not active QA. |
| 11:07.11 | Stskeeps | where PPAs are garage based |
| 11:07.18 | timeless | PPA? |
| 11:07.21 | jeremiah | timeless: You're right - the additional layers of indirection mean fewer apps get used by the end user. |
| 11:07.25 | Stskeeps | personal package archives, like launchpad's |
| 11:07.47 | jaem_notafk | either way, where QA is done is important - I can go post a *.install on ITT that adds extra-devel, so that people can try out my New Great App (TM), and then we run into the same problem |
| 11:07.47 | Stskeeps | want to alpha test a product? add the PPA |
| 11:07.47 | Stskeeps | :P |
| 11:07.47 | timeless | sorry, pretend i don't know what launchpad is |
| 11:07.52 | jaem_notafk | sts: I'm a fan of PPAs |
| 11:08.08 | Stskeeps | timeless: basically a per-developer repository, but centrally based |
| 11:08.10 | timeless | sts: i think gan/jaffa/x-fade campaigned against ppa |
| 11:08.11 | suihkulokki | replace garage with launchpad.net :) |
| 11:08.22 | qgil | my non-techical point of view here is: |
| 11:08.24 | jaem_notafk | sts: they also shift the responsibility/blame more onto the shoulders of the individual devs |
| 11:08.27 | jeremiah | But PPAs just create more problems |
| 11:08.29 | timeless | that's basically what we had before w/ extras |
| 11:08.31 | X-Fade | jaem_notafk: I think that is were Application Manager can help. It can add these awful warnings for 'not trusted' repos. |
| 11:08.39 | jeremiah | You have repos everywhere |
| 11:08.53 | Stskeeps | timeless: not entirely, PPAs are backed by autobuilder and hosted @ centralized spot |
| 11:08.55 | qgil | - extras for the masses, in Maemo 5 is active by default and will be kept there unless there are too many problems found by real users |
| 11:09.17 | Stskeeps | timeless: and focused upon one product at at time or a developer |
| 11:09.20 | timeless | so, who does promotion today, and why? |
| 11:09.21 | wazd | http://s47.radikal.ru/i116/0902/1b/31002b96683d.jpg |
| 11:09.27 | timeless | is it really the developer? |
| 11:09.28 | wazd | I'm totally sick |
| 11:09.29 | X-Fade | timeless: Anybody.. |
| 11:09.36 | wazd | hello qgil) |
| 11:09.36 | timeless | personally, i'd rather *not* be the one who promotes my package |
| 11:09.37 | Stskeeps | wazd: hah :> |
| 11:09.40 | qgil | - extras-test or extras-beta or something along these lines for software that is found good enough by the own developers but needs still peer review, QA and what not |
| 11:09.42 | jaem_notafk | x-fade: if we still have all the other awful warnings, Joe User will probably just click through that one without reading |
| 11:09.43 | timeless | i'm fine w/ "nominating" a package |
| 11:09.46 | jaem_notafk | still, though, it might work |
| 11:09.50 | timeless | and then having a referendum |
| 11:10.01 | timeless | where people can comment saying "i tested, and feel it's ready" |
| 11:10.03 | X-Fade | jaem_notafk: That would imply that trusted repos won't have it of course. |
| 11:10.10 | timeless | after a certain point, someone reviews and decides if it's ready |
| 11:10.17 | jaem_notafk | x-fade: just checking |
| 11:10.23 | qgil | and extras-devel -unstable -experimental or PPA or whatever you want for anything definitely not intended for end users, not even for power users willing to test fresh stuff |
| 11:10.25 | Stskeeps | wazd: you should make a talk about stealing with arms and legs.. |
| 11:10.26 | suihkulokki | IMNHSO the application manager could have 1-5 stars selector, which would enable repos extas-one-star -> extras-five-star according to how many stars users selected |
| 11:10.45 | timeless | jeremiah/qgil: btw, you should look at how addons.mozilla.org works w/ their extension sandbox |
| 11:10.49 | suihkulokki | then have some accepted QA criteria to select which "star category" a package belongs to |
| 11:10.50 | wazd | I should send it to engadget) |
| 11:10.59 | jeremiah | So it appears we have consesnsus around a three repo plan? |
| 11:11.12 | X-Fade | jeremiah: I'm not a fan. |
| 11:11.12 | jeremiah | Following qgil's format? |
| 11:11.17 | jeremiah | X-Fade: Aha. |
| 11:11.19 | jaem_notafk | jeremiah: if PPAs are out, that would be my next vote |
| 11:11.20 | timeless | suihkulokki: the ui wizards have wanted stars for ham forever |
| 11:11.30 | timeless | has no idea if it'll ever happen |
| 11:11.31 | X-Fade | jeremiah: Well, adding yet another repo doesn't fix things by itself. |
| 11:12.03 | X-Fade | In debian testing is about as likely to break as unstable. |
| 11:12.10 | jeremiah | X-Fade: Think of it not as a repo, but as a place where you can hammer the potential package with scripts testing quality. |
| 11:12.14 | suihkulokki | something in the line of 1 star being "I managed to compile it, it works sometimes, UI is not tablet-optimized" and 5 stars being "doesn't crash and has well optimized UI for tablet" |
| 11:12.29 | X-Fade | If nobody cared to test a package it automatically moved from unstable to testing without problems. |
| 11:12.39 | jaem_notafk | but I think we need to make it clear that there is a "good" repo, a "try it at your own risk" repo, and a 'will eat your children" repo, and not just good/sort-of-good/almost-as-good |
| 11:12.52 | jeremiah | jaem_notafk: Yeah, I agree. |
| 11:13.03 | suihkulokki | nod |
| 11:13.14 | jaem_notafk | if people are advertising their New Great Program (TM) as soon as it compiles, people are going to install it no matter the warnings |
| 11:13.19 | X-Fade | It would be nice to have defined what one can expect from a repo. |
| 11:13.45 | jeremiah | I think it is crucial that we state publically what the repos contain |
| 11:13.45 | qgil | I'm putting together the pieces for a "Maemo betatester" plan and it would be good to have something between extras and extras-totally-unfiltered-devel |
| 11:14.01 | X-Fade | But would a developer like it if it takes a few days from upload to appearance in Extras? |
| 11:14.18 | timeless | x-fade: who cares? |
| 11:14.18 | jeremiah | It takes ten days for _anything_ to get into debian. |
| 11:14.26 | jeremiah | I think a short wait is reasonable. |
| 11:14.30 | jaem_notafk | well, there's nothing stopping a dev from posting a deb on their own website/Garage in the mean time |
| 11:14.33 | jaem_notafk | people do that anyways |
| 11:14.33 | timeless | x-fade: it's taken me weeks to go nowhere w/ my package |
| 11:14.34 | X-Fade | jeremiah: Yes and people complain about that ;) |
| 11:14.48 | timeless | if a dev is in a hurry, they can cheat and use their own repo |
| 11:14.52 | timeless | that said |
| 11:14.59 | timeless | i don't think a time based system is the right answer |
| 11:15.08 | timeless | the right answer is a list of people who can collectively approve something |
| 11:15.12 | X-Fade | Well, what if a fix to a bugged package takes a developer the same time? |
| 11:15.23 | X-Fade | Is that a going to be a problem? |
| 11:15.23 | jeremiah | X-Fade: But people love the stability of debian too, so I think the balance is there. |
| 11:15.23 | timeless | so if i can find 5/10 of them on irc w/in a smaller window i can get it approved |
| 11:15.23 | qgil | that said many users do a mistake once and even twice installing something that looked cool from somewhere |
| 11:15.38 | timeless | jeremiah: which is why people use ubuntu |
| 11:15.45 | timeless | please don't suggest stability as the reason |
| 11:15.47 | qgil | but many of them do learn and stick to repos once they see how beautiful is not to have to reflash and etc |
| 11:15.55 | timeless | debian stable is known for glacial pace |
| 11:16.06 | jeremiah | timeless: Which is why people use it. |
| 11:16.09 | timeless | maemo is used in Nokia devices targetted at people who are on the edge |
| 11:16.12 | jaem_notafk | qgil: which is why we need to get the message across to the devs, too |
| 11:16.14 | timeless | early adopters |
| 11:16.16 | Jaffa | thinks he had an earlier blog post on QA |
| 11:16.28 | X-Fade | jeremiah: But this is what gave ubunut it's boost. |
| 11:16.39 | timeless | early adopters are not the people who wait 5 years before they adopt a product |
| 11:16.39 | wazd | Can I give my 2 kopeykas?) |
| 11:16.40 | jeremiah | X-Fade: And subsequent fall. |
| 11:16.44 | qgil | jaem_notafk: sure, and a way to send the message to the developers is: |
| 11:16.44 | X-Fade | So we need to find some kind of middle ground for that. |
| 11:16.57 | qgil | blog about your app and put your deb in your homepage if you wish |
| 11:16.59 | jeremiah | Lots of upstream projects return to debian because of its stability, mepis, etc. |
| 11:17.04 | Jaffa | http://www.maemopeople.org/index.php/jaffa/2008/01/13/solving_the_lack_of_qa_and_muliple_repos |
| 11:17.20 | qgil | but by no means you are going to be promoted in *.maemo.org and even less in maemo.nokia.com |
| 11:17.24 | timeless | jaffa: spell check your titles? |
| 11:17.30 | qgil | and that's where the stuff really happens |
| 11:17.37 | inz | timeless, damn, you beat me |
| 11:17.46 | timeless | inz: glad to have a race :) |
| 11:18.01 | jaem_notafk | qgil: sounds good |
| 11:18.13 | X-Fade | qgil: I also think we need to fix this in AM. That is still where most people get their apps. |
| 11:18.24 | jeremiah | AM? |
| 11:18.26 | timeless | ham |
| 11:18.28 | timeless | h-a-m |
| 11:18.30 | X-Fade | qgil: And if a user clicks one .install from gronmayer, he has it all. |
| 11:18.30 | inz | IRC is teh best spellchecker eva; just post a link and people will complain ;) |
| 11:18.32 | timeless | ... |
| 11:18.33 | Stskeeps | jeremiah: hildon application manager |
| 11:18.42 | jeremiah | Stskeeps: Thanks :) |
| 11:18.58 | X-Fade | qgil: No differentiation between official repos and just a random one. |
| 11:19.02 | timeless | x-fade: we should offer to disable repos after the install process finishes |
| 11:19.12 | qgil | X-Fade: Yes, this is what Ville and Elena are looking at |
| 11:19.13 | jaem_notafk | timeless: that's a start |
| 11:19.16 | timeless | however, that doesn't really do the right thing |
| 11:19.24 | timeless | because i really do want updates for my app |
| 11:19.39 | X-Fade | timeless: I think we really need colored backgrounds in the app list, indicating the source. |
| 11:19.41 | jaem_notafk | is there a mechanism in apt repos for differentiation/ |
| 11:19.44 | X-Fade | timeless: Or something like that. |
| 11:19.59 | timeless | x-fade; something like that could be interesting |
| 11:20.00 | X-Fade | Or put everything trusted on top. |
| 11:20.03 | timeless | colors is of course wrong |
| 11:20.07 | timeless | no. |
| 11:20.09 | timeless | no no :) |
| 11:20.14 | X-Fade | timeless: Or icons or whatever. |
| 11:20.16 | timeless | sorry, having dealt w/ long lists |
| 11:20.26 | timeless | icons have issues too, who picks them? |
| 11:20.28 | qgil | but if the extras process is good enough, good developers will not go elsewhere and the average end user will not feel the need to go elsewhere either |
| 11:20.30 | X-Fade | Stability switch on the bar.. |
| 11:20.33 | timeless | what if two repos pick 'similar' icons |
| 11:20.42 | jaem_notafk | "ooh... I like the yellow-and-black striped apps... let's install them!" |
| 11:20.46 | qgil | it's been some years now since I last installed a non-official repo in my Linux desktop |
| 11:20.52 | jaem_notafk | "what's that it says? 'caution'" |
| 11:20.57 | qgil | because basically what I need is in the official repos already |
| 11:21.03 | jeremiah | qgil: I think this will probably be the case actually. Lots of good quality apps in Maemo |
| 11:21.04 | timeless | qgil: how much software do you install on your desktop? |
| 11:21.15 | timeless | personally i don't install much at all |
| 11:21.37 | jeremiah | I install tons of stuff and I run debian unstable. Even that is rock solid |
| 11:21.47 | qgil | timeless: also true, I got the apps I need and I don't care much about whetever else |
| 11:21.58 | timeless | qgil: there's nothing wrong w/ that |
| 11:21.59 | jaem_notafk | x-fade, timeless: the problem still remains... if we let the user click it, they will; if we don't, we're evil... |
| 11:22.03 | X-Fade | timeless: Well Nokia isn't going to ship a firmware with a bunch of community apps (yet) |
| 11:22.03 | jaem_notafk | some compromise is needed |
| 11:22.10 | timeless | it's jsut that essentially you're no longer a bleeding early adopter |
| 11:22.13 | timeless | nor am i |
| 11:22.19 | qgil | timeless: but actually something similar might happen with the average maemo 5 user |
| 11:22.21 | X-Fade | timeless: So we need some easy way to install some apps :) |
| 11:22.25 | qgil | you start trying out a bunch of things |
| 11:22.29 | timeless | qgil: ideally yeah |
| 11:22.38 | timeless | personally, for my boxes, i'll install a base |
| 11:22.41 | timeless | ZFS-snapshot |
| 11:22.46 | qgil | after some months you keep what matters and from time to time you give a try to something else |
| 11:22.48 | timeless | then install a bunch of experiments |
| 11:22.51 | timeless | note which ones i like |
| 11:22.52 | qgil | basically after recommendations and etc |
| 11:22.53 | timeless | ZFS-rollback |
| 11:23.00 | timeless | and then install the useful ones again |
| 11:23.21 | X-Fade | timeless: That doesn't sound like avarage joe behavior to me :D |
| 11:23.22 | jeremiah | timeless: You're not running linux with ZFS? |
| 11:23.28 | jeremiah | It isn't in the kernel |
| 11:23.30 | timeless | in maemo4, that's basically buy device, setup stuff, backup, install junk, reflash, restore, install relevant stuff |
| 11:23.44 | timeless | jeremiah: i run osol/snv |
| 11:23.59 | timeless | (and nexenta and a centos lx branded zone) |
| 11:24.11 | jaem | timeless: :S |
| 11:24.15 | qgil | ok guys, I should be doping something else |
| 11:24.25 | qgil | hopefully the feedback was useful jeremiah :) |
| 11:24.29 | timeless | qgil: don't dope! |
| 11:24.29 | jeremiah | Very |
| 11:24.32 | X-Fade | In short I think we need: QA process in promotion fase, AM modification to show trust level of software. |
| 11:24.33 | qgil | doping? doing! |
| 11:24.43 | jeremiah | Doing dope? |
| 11:24.45 | jaem | doing LCD? |

| 11:25.04 | qgil | timelin my next life perhaps |
| 11:25.10 | timeless | heh |
| 11:25.37 | qgil | X-Fade: the pragmatic approach is to start with extras-devel only in fremantle |
| 11:25.51 | qgil | and don't let anybody jumpt to a more stable evel until there is a process in place |
| 11:25.52 | jeremiah | X-Fade: Maybe one should think of it as a testing zone that people can upload to |
| 11:25.54 | X-Fade | qgil: For alpha and beta sure.. |
| 11:26.21 | qgil | alpha is a good time to setup the devel repo and start the discussion (really) |
| 11:26.26 | timeless | how hard would it be to pick 12-24 people who can help a package from extras-devel to extras |
| 11:26.29 | X-Fade | qgil: We have some time to test things out there and no real users to worry about... yet. |
| 11:26.32 | qgil | beta is a good time to start getting into conclusions :) |
| 11:26.42 | timeless | and then require 3 or maybe 5 votes before a package jumps |
| 11:26.55 | timeless | btw, do we expect someone to get a new approval for each package update |
| 11:27.02 | timeless | or just the first version that's included in extras? |
| 11:27.07 | X-Fade | timeless: That only works if people actively help testing.. |
| 11:27.21 | timeless | x-fade: well, people have helped me |
| 11:27.26 | X-Fade | And our tester base is large enough.. |
| 11:27.33 | timeless | if the package isn't important, then it can wait longer |
| 11:27.39 | jaem | x-fade: and not everyone can feasibly test everything, which would put constraints on tester numbers, and necessary votes |
| 11:27.46 | timeless | if people want something badly enough, they can volunteer to be testers |
| 11:27.56 | X-Fade | timeless: And thus frustrates the developer, which causes him to setup his own repo. |
| 11:28.03 | X-Fade | I've seen that happen ;) |
| 11:28.03 | timeless | but they can't test the thing they want first |
| 11:28.09 | timeless | they'd have to test 3 other things from the queue |
| 11:28.10 | qgil | for updates a simple diff seen by 2 people can tell more than 30' test by 1000 people |

| 11:32.55 | timeless | saber: what are you trying to do and why? |
| 11:33.05 | X-Fade | jeremiah: Maemo and maemo.org are different things and even Nokia people are confused some time ;) |
| 11:33.10 | X-Fade | *sometimes |
| 11:33.50 | SaBer | timeless: hide the keyboard, because it is not needed at a certain point in my application, and it takes up space |
| 11:35.37 | timeless | saber: the keyboard in theory should go away if it doesn't think focus is on an input area |
| 11:35.49 | timeless | however, the decision to have the keyboard should be up to the user |
| 11:35.57 | timeless | if the user wants the space, there's a minimize button in the vkb |

| 13:58.08 | GeneralAntilles | jeremiah, I've slept in close proximity to a G5 for many years. |
| 13:58.13 | GeneralAntilles | Quiet isn't important. |

| 16:02.24 | GeneralAntilles | I never understood using an accelerometer to activate GPS |
| 16:02.40 | GeneralAntilles | So, when you move it from one side of your desk to the other, you should get a new GPS fix? |
| 16:03.03 | X-Fade | GeneralAntilles: You can wave all you want with your device and it would probably not change your GPS position anyway. |

| 16:03.20 | GeneralAntilles | X-Fade, especially not with the N810's GPS chip. ;) |

| 16:03.35 | X-Fade | Especially with any end user GPS. |
| 16:03.36 | johnx | GeneralAntilles, well if it's really accurate you could just do dead reckoning :) |
| 16:03.45 | wazd | I don't beleive) |
| 16:03.55 | luke-jr | GeneralAntilles: but if you *don't* move it, the GPS is unnecessary power consumption |
| 16:04.16 | GeneralAntilles | johnx, I want a tablet that can figure my position based on vector information from the accelerometer from the previous GPS fix. |
| 16:04.19 | johnx | if you're just leaving it sitting on your desk, why not plug it into power? |
| 16:04.31 | johnx | GeneralAntilles, hence 'dead reckoning' |
| 16:04.32 | X-Fade | luke-jr: When you sit in a car the accelerometer won't detect your movement. |
| 16:04.46 | luke-jr | johnx: plugged in, it will charge faster ;) |
| 16:04.47 | X-Fade | luke-jr: Unless you accelerate or brake. |
| 16:05.01 | luke-jr | X-Fade: that's why the GPS only turns off if you stop moving |

| 21:24.13 | Stskeeps | ssvb: not sure, but on the other hand i have a sane cx3110x driver that scans properly and so on |
| 21:24.15 | timelE61i | Gan: i don't think they're available online |

| 21:24.29 | GeneralAntilles | timelE61i, not in the SSU repo? |
| 21:24.31 | timelE61i | And i wonder if dpkg would be holding a lock :) |
| 21:24.33 | GeneralAntilles | was be facetious anyway. |
| 21:24.45 | qwerty12_N800 | timelE61i: no, wait. |
| 21:24.49 | Stskeeps | ssvb: besides that, i realized earlier umac.ko is just a library, you can replace the kernel modinfo structures and adapt it to newer kernels |
| 21:24.49 | timelE61i | Ing |
| 21:24.59 | Stskeeps | like poky linux did with 2.6.18 patch |
| 21:25.21 | Stskeeps | ssvb: so i'm wondering if it means cx3110x can be further adapted to later kernels |
| 21:25.35 | timelE61i | gan: dunno, you could check |
| 21:25.42 | Stskeeps | (of course it would be nice to have stlc45xx for 770 but..) |
| 21:25.47 | timelE61i | We were too lazy to find the password for ssu :) |
| 21:26.01 | timelE61i | Besides device could be offlne |
| 21:26.09 | ssvb | Stskeeps: that would be really great if wlan works with newer kernels in some way |

| 21:26.29 | Stskeeps | ssvb: i've already moved from 0.8.5 to 1.2 cx3110x, so maybe there is hope |
| 21:26.31 | timelE61i | ? |
| 21:26.34 | GeneralAntilles | qwerty12_N800 has the password, I'm sure. |
| 21:27.00 | Stskeeps | i could consider to name my kid if i have one, the SSU password.. |

| 21:48.06 | GeneralAntilles | Stskeeps, I'll let you play with my Newton if you bring a working recovery card. :P |
| 21:48.16 | Macer | it's odd that intel and amd are working so hard on their low power stuff |
| 21:48.19 | Stskeeps | GeneralAntilles: so you don't even get serial output? |
| 21:48.29 | GeneralAntilles | Stskeeps, nah, I get serial output. |
| 21:48.37 | Stskeeps | just no uboot prompt? |
| 21:48.39 | Macer | as if out the blue they've decided there might be money to be made from extremely compact low power cpu design |
| 21:48.40 | vcell | macer, not odd - required |

| 21:49.58 | Macer | does arm even produce their own cpus though? |
| 21:49.59 | GeneralAntilles | There's an array of uboot and xloader binaries but I'm not sure which ones to use for what. |
| 21:50.05 | Macer | don't they just lic the tech and let their customers do it? |
| 21:50.21 | vcell | bbl, coughing fit |

| 22:43.24 | Stskeeps | luke-jr: to keep apps from thinking they should waste precious space in /tmp? :P |
| 22:45.18 | jaem | does anyone mind helping me with bootmenu issues? |
| 22:45.44 | jaem | I have been unable to find any clear docs on the *.item format, and now can't boot into one of the three installs on my N810 |
| 22:45.44 | Stskeeps | mm? |

| 22:46.00 | jaem | I installed to my ext card with console-tools |
| 22:46.06 | jaem | then installed Mer on the internal card |
| 22:46.18 | jaem | and I'm not sure exactly how to write the *.item file |
| 22:46.33 | Stskeeps | fairly simple.. sec |
| 22:46.40 | jaem | sure, thanks |
| 22:46.50 | jaem | it looked simple, but apparently I did something wrong |

| 22:48.44 | jaem | oh wait |
| 22:48.48 | jaem | that could be the issue >_< |

| 22:50.35 | luke-jr | any way to get the file manager to show more dirs? |
| 22:51.57 | jaem | hmmm... now it boots, but crashes after the creepy hands logo |
| 22:52.03 | jaem | looks into it |
| 22:52.14 | Stskeeps | er, i did write rw and not ro, right? |
| 22:52.25 | jaem | yep |
| 22:52.29 | Stskeeps | hm, k |
| 22:52.31 | jaem | and I didn't copy verbatim anyhow |
| 22:52.40 | Stskeeps | make sure yours says ro then :P |
| 22:52.44 | Stskeeps | er |
| 22:52.45 | Stskeeps | rw |
| 22:52.52 | jaem | which one is it?! :D |

| 23:09.46 | Macer | this thing is pretty fucking awesome :) |
| 23:10.29 | Stskeeps | which? |
| 23:10.32 | Macer | even though the video is a little on the slow side |
| 23:10.35 | Macer | the artigo |
| 23:10.44 | Macer | it gets a B :) |
| 23:11.08 | Macer | maybe the newer via chipset with dx9 support and faster cpu will get an A if it can do better video |
| 23:11.39 | Macer | i'm upgrading all the kubuntu stuff on it now and have to close it up and put it somewhere.. i hope my kvm starts working with it |
| 23:12.09 | Macer | when i say dx9.. i mean hopefully it will support compositing.. which this doesn't seem to want to do |
| 23:12.29 | *** join/#maemo disco_stu (n=wrt54gl@190.216.32.137) |
| 23:12.44 | Macer | maybe intel will release something with their chipset that is similar.. i know their smaller video chipsets can do compositing.. not the quickest.. but it still works nonetheless |
| 23:15.04 | Macer | Stskeeps: you guys fix the dual menus yet? :) |
| 23:15.17 | Stskeeps | nah, been busy doing some 770 related stuff |
| 23:15.27 | Stskeeps | i did try to investigate though |
| 23:15.31 | Stskeeps | i honestly can't see why it appears |
| 23:15.37 | Macer | 770 related stuff? :) |
| 23:15.43 | Macer | wtf? |
| 23:16.06 | Macer | mer based 770 related stuff? |
| 23:16.07 | Stskeeps | nokia 770 support, we already have quite a lot running on it (from MMC) |
| 23:16.17 | Stskeeps | and i just got wifi properly working, i think |
| 23:16.29 | Stskeeps | so all the tablets are supported in one way or the other |
| 23:16.37 | Macer | i see |
| 23:16.53 | Macer | you guys are sure going the distance huh? |
| 23:17.10 | Macer | out of curiousity .. not to question your motives.. but what do you gain from doing all this work? |
| 23:17.11 | Stskeeps | did i mention the beagleboard, pandora devel board, pocket loox 720 port? :P |
| 23:17.16 | Macer | i mean.. is it a project for school or something? |
| 23:18.08 | Macer | or do you just do it to do it? |
| 23:18.10 | Stskeeps | part of my contributions is work-related, part is my free time, and part is to get knowledge and do something for the community |
| 23:18.26 | Stskeeps | and to enhance my job possibilities post-graduation |
| 23:18.38 | Corsac | hmhm, the qemu -M n810 seems broken here |
| 23:18.44 | Corsac | mipid_reset: Display off |
| 23:18.51 | Corsac | and then just a white screen |
| 23:18.57 | Macer | but what job possibilities open up by making a linux based distro for n770s and n8x0s? |
| 23:19.04 | Macer | are you going to try to work at nokia? |
| 23:19.19 | Stskeeps | Macer: that's just cos it is possible and someone donated a 770 |
| 23:19.39 | Stskeeps | n8x0s cos noone else was going to step up it seems |
| 23:19.40 | qwerty12_N800 | Corsac: dump the mtd1 from a device with the no-lifeguard-reset flag |
| 23:20.01 | Macer | i see. i just as much figured you were going to work at nokia ... i'm sure they wouldn't mind picking up a developer |
| 23:20.29 | Stskeeps | Macer: meh, not a worry just yet |
| 23:20.34 | Corsac | qwerty12_N800: I don't need to boot maemo, only install a debian on it |
| 23:20.39 | Corsac | qwerty12_N800: do I still need that? |
| 23:20.56 | Corsac | (and how should I do that âdumpâ ?) |
| 23:20.59 | Macer | well.. once you get a good working stable Mer.. you should try and see if they'll hire you as a developer |
| 23:21.08 | Stskeeps | Macer: if anything we can always hope this work assists with discount codes for rx-51 :P |
| 23:21.11 | Macer | sounds like something you may enjoy |
| 23:21.20 | Macer | hahahhaa |
| 23:21.23 | Macer | !! |
| 23:21.39 | Macer | that's a lot of hours to put in for discount codes ;) |
| 23:21.43 | Stskeeps | yeah |
| 23:22.07 | Stskeeps | on the other hand once i'm done with the 770 work, i can introduce my gf to the tablet universe :P |
| 23:22.14 | Macer | good luck with that |
| 23:22.25 | Macer | i tried with my gf and the n800 :) she would rather use her G1 |
| 23:22.25 | Corsac | please introduce your gf privately |
| 23:22.52 | Macer | she didn't see the appeal... i almost felt like dumping her right hten and there |
| 23:22.54 | Macer | haha |
| 23:23.09 | qwerty12_N800 | Corsac: the dump is needed afaik, if it's just debian you're booting, then you probably don't need the no-lifeguard-reset flag.but anyway, on a n8x0, as root, 'cat /dev/mtd1ro > /media/mmc1/dump' |
| 23:23.12 | Macer | snatching my n800 out of her hands saying "I don't think this is going to work out..." |
| 23:23.44 | Corsac | ok |
| 23:23.58 | Stskeeps | Macer: besides that, the space between laptops and embedded systems is exploding these days. |
| 23:24.19 | Stskeeps | it will be good to know your way around the challenges of it |
| 23:24.31 | Macer | yah. it does seem to be taking off rather quickly |
| 23:24.38 | qwerty12_N800 | Stskeeps: never let it be said that you aren't generous... introducing tablets to your gf with the worst one of 'em all :p |
| 23:24.41 | Macer | strange that coming down in power and speed can be a good thing sometimes :) |
| 23:24.50 | Stskeeps | qwerty12_N800: when i get rx-51 she gets n800 :P |
| 23:24.51 | Macer | but then again.. people don't usually race cadallacs |
| 23:25.10 | Stskeeps | i doubt i will have problems finding a job as a graduate of my university, but i rather want to do figure out something i would like to do for a living |
| 23:25.18 | qwerty12_N800 | Stskeeps: hehe, fair enough :D |
| 23:25.38 | Corsac | qwerty12_N800: and then I should use that dump as kernel? initrd? something else? |
| 23:25.55 | Macer | Stskeeps: heh... i know a girl who got a policical science MBA from depaul university just to wind up becoming a web designer |
| 23:25.58 | Macer | i thought that was odd |
| 23:26.09 | Stskeeps | Macer: well .. political science |
| 23:26.32 | qwerty12_N800 | Corsac: can't remember the option sorry, i may be able to find it |
| 23:26.36 | Macer | i suppose it could help in web design.. but usually you would expect someone who majored in political science to well... be into politics :) |
| 23:27.02 | Macer | it would be like someone with an engineering degree from MIT opening a flower shop |
| 23:27.05 | Macer | it just seems odd |
| 23:27.18 | Corsac | -mtdblock maybe |
| 23:27.35 | Stskeeps | i have 5 years of being involved with research projects and before that managing a successful open source project.. at least i hope my resume will make me attractive |
| 23:28.19 | Stskeeps | yawns |
| 23:28.28 | Corsac | doesn't seem to work, maybe I still need the reset stuff |
| 23:29.23 | Macer | welp. i'm going to shove this thing in a tiny spot under my shuttle and small bookshelf stereo |
| 23:29.32 | Macer | heh.. this thing is great.. at least now i have a solid linux desktop to work with |
| 23:33.45 | b-man | finally gets around to updating the ubuntu-n8x0 repository |
| 23:34.25 | Stskeeps | b-man: we have added some updated HAL stuff you might want too |
| 23:34.42 | b-man | k :) |
| 23:35.04 | Stskeeps | it will enable Fn usage on n810 for instance |
| 23:35.44 | b-man | i've also noticed you've added cnetworkmanager |
| 23:36.19 | qwerty12_N800 | that was me, i needed it for powerlaunch ;) |
| 23:37.38 | Stskeeps | offline mode is a godsend :P |
| 23:37.53 | b-man | hehe |
| 23:38.40 | qwerty12_N800 | i'm just amazed the method i use for detection works :/ |
| 23:39.39 | Corsac | http://marcin.juszkiewicz.com.pl/2008/04/11/nokia-n800-emulation/ it seems that I'm not the only one having problems with my config partition :) |
| 23:39.57 | qwerty12_N800 | read part 2 :) |
| 23:40.28 | Corsac | ok so the no-lifeguard-reset seems to be mandatory |
| 23:40.55 | Stskeeps | Corsac: if you get it working, feel free to take up the QEMU N8x0 image of Mer task up :P |
| 23:41.05 | Stskeeps | i have rootfs and kernel somewhere |
| 23:41.25 | qwerty12_N800 | Corsac: ah, sorry, i assumed it was only so because poky doesn't need mtd1 dump at all |
| 23:41.38 | Corsac | qwerty12_N800: I'll try and report |
| 23:42.23 | Stskeeps | Corsac: there's a part II to the post |
| 23:42.45 | qwerty12_N800 | been a long time since i used n810 qemu emulation, input really bugged me so I rm -rf'ed the folder out of frustration :) |

| 23:48.26 | Corsac | but I guess it'd be nicer to use -N n810 :) |
| 23:48.41 | Corsac | maybe useless for a pure debian, too |
| 23:48.48 | Corsac | if n810 is only useful for maemo |
| 23:49.28 | Stskeeps | well i have booted ubuntu within n810 machine at some point too :P |
| 23:51.33 | Corsac | doesn't work either |
| 23:52.01 | Corsac | I'm using versatile kernel, though |
