| 06:43.48 | Stskeeps | incompatible bootmenu means you used a bad bootmenu initially to boot it. |

| 06:45.02 | Stskeeps | you need to get the deblet boootmenu, the one that Mer uses, and then you need to set up the right .item, and be -sure- to have it contain ITEM_LINUXRC, and then you reinstall ubuntu all over :) |

| 06:56.06 | Stskeeps | mib_d22bkd: yes, it is |

| 07:23.16 | Macer | i'm sure it comes in handy .. i just can't stand this "have to run the setup program" thing it has going on |
| 07:23.26 | timeless_mbp | macmaN6789: anything, including nothing is better than cygwin |
| 07:23.30 | Macer | it's typical windows shit. where you change domains and you have to reboot :) |
| 07:23.39 | macmaN6789 | lol timeless_mbp |
| 07:24.07 | StsN801 | wasn't there microsofts services for unix too? |
| 07:24.12 | macmaN6789 | well when I got my mbp, that was also a "what no package manager, STILL" :-o |
| 07:24.25 | Macer | StsN801: yes |
| 07:24.28 | Macer | i used to use it for nfs |
| 07:24.28 | mavhc | windows apache used threads way before unix one did |
| 07:24.31 | macmaN6789 | StsN801: I think those are even less than nothing |
| 07:24.35 | Macer | found out samba was better and didn't suck as much ;) |
| 07:24.52 | Macer | did uid mapping also which was nice |
| 07:25.21 | Macer | uid and gid mappings to keep permissions |
| 07:25.32 | Macer | i think samba has a set mask for both |
| 07:26.07 | mavhc | there's package managers for mac, there's at least 3 for windows, but without open source software they can't not suck |
| 07:26.33 | Macer | mac has macports :) |
| 07:27.02 | Macer | which actually works quite well .. but i use it on my laptop so it doesn't serve much of a purpose |
| 07:27.09 | Macer | i should run osx86 on my k45 |
| 07:27.25 | macmaN6789 | yeah macports is something at least |
| 07:27.29 | Veggen | mavch That's basically because Windows' process-model sucks, and the cost of starting a new process was way too high, there... |
| 07:27.31 | timeless_mbp | Stskeeps: SFU still exists |
| 07:27.37 | Veggen | Wasn't that necessary on *nix. |
| 07:27.37 | timeless_mbp | although i think they might have renamed it (again) |
| 07:27.38 | mavhc | mac GUI sucks anyway |
| 07:27.41 | Macer | macports works way beter than this disgusting cygwin ports |
| 07:27.49 | Macer | at least you can install it easily |
| 07:27.50 | timeless_mbp | Veggen: bah |
| 07:27.54 | Macer | cygwin ports install is broken |
| 07:27.55 | timeless_mbp | the linux process model is wrose |
| 07:28.02 | timeless_mbp | worse |
| 07:28.16 | Macer | mavhc: i agree. i don't like the mac gui |
| 07:28.27 | thux | always wondered why people use windows so much |
| 07:28.30 | Macer | wonder if i can replace it but still run the mac apps :) |
| 07:28.40 | timeless_mbp | thux: windows just works |
| 07:28.42 | Macer | thux: because of awesome marketing by ms :) |
| 07:28.58 | Veggen | thux: Oh, that one is easy. Everyone uses windows because everyone uses windows. |
| 07:29.08 | timeless_mbp | Macer: um, ms doesn't really do that much marketing |
| 07:29.08 | Macer | lol |
| 07:29.28 | timeless_mbp | i'm fairly confident that apple does more proportionally |
| 07:29.55 | Macer | timeless_mbp: i think you missed the earlier conversation about gnu vs dictatorships |
| 07:29.57 | thux | but even nmap is hard to run well in xp sp2 or later |

| 07:35.53 | Veggen | but Windows "just works" is something I don't hear that often :) |
| 07:36.30 | ShadowJK | heh |
| 07:36.56 | Veggen | I think it might be true, though, if you have competent users. The problem is that you don't, and Windows has been touted as a no-training-necessary-system for so long... |
| 07:37.50 | ShadowJK | I find most things harder to do in windows, but that's probably becausebi'm used to nix |
| 07:38.28 | ShadowJK | but the funniest situation was when neighbour bought a wlan adapter for his pc |
| 07:38.41 | Veggen | My bold statement is that for non-competent users with relatively simple needs (i.e. no Windows-only programs), a well configured Linux is much better. |

| 07:41.35 | Veggen | but I agree - the perfect OS doesn't exist. Sometimes Windows sucks more, sometimes it's Linux that sucks. |
| 07:42.08 | Veggen | For my use and my skills, it's definitely Windows that sucks more. |
| 07:42.17 | ShadowJK | and there is no "intuitive" interfaces or programs. doesnt exit. |
| 07:42.17 | timeless_mbp | shrugs |
| 07:42.18 | ShadowJK | exist |
| 07:42.22 | timeless_mbp | you clearly don't do enough programming |
| 07:42.29 | timeless_mbp | linux as a dev base is bad :) |
| 07:43.12 | timeless_mbp | btw the line i wrote above 'who can find' is a reference to Proverbs 31 |
| 07:43.14 | ShadowJK | XP out of the box is actually the easiest for newbies so far, I think. The bright colours make it easy to learn the concept of a window, and easier to recognize where they start and where they end... |
| 07:43.33 | aquatix | except that they don't know how to use a mouse |
| 07:43.38 | ShadowJK | learning how the widgets work, and where they start and where they end, and what is cilickable and what is not, and what they do, however, takes as long as with any other thing |
| 07:43.47 | ShadowJK | there is that too :) |
| 07:44.05 | aquatix | saw his granddads struggle with that :) |
| 07:44.14 | ShadowJK | I actually switched to Linux originally because I wanted to program stuff and windows had no compiler :) |
| 07:44.35 | ShadowJK | but a friend of mine told me linux came with a C compiler for free |
| 07:45.05 | ShadowJK | after a week he told me of 'man' command :) |
| 07:45.11 | timeless_mbp | ShadowJK: heh |
| 07:45.18 | timeless_mbp | note that there are a number of free compilers for windows |
| 07:45.25 | timeless_mbp | so the argument is fairly lame |
| 07:45.32 | ShadowJK | Yeah I actually found one |
| 07:45.33 | thux | also kernel modification is easier in linux, even me can compile or patch it, but i have no clue how to patch win kernel |
| 07:45.37 | ShadowJK | I think it was called lcc |
| 07:45.38 | timeless_mbp | and unlike w/ linux, the free compilers for windows don't suck |
| 07:45.47 | ShadowJK | there was also djgbpp iirc |
| 07:45.49 | timeless_mbp | well, there were a bunch, djgpp was one |
| 07:45.58 | timeless_mbp | borland had a free one |
| 07:46.08 | timeless_mbp | depending on time, there was openwatcom or digitalmars |
| 07:46.16 | ShadowJK | I never figured out how to do anything with borland :) |
| 07:46.20 | timeless_mbp | and for recent memory, you've been able to get a free compiler from microsoft |
| 07:46.25 | suihkulokki | ShadowJK: XP out of box was also so vulnerable that it would get Blaster worm infection faster than you could download the fix for it from windowsupdate :P |
| 07:46.31 | timeless_mbp | (since 2001 or so?) |
| 07:46.53 | timeless_mbp | suihkulokki: you're looking at the box wrong |
| 07:47.03 | timeless_mbp | XP out of the box wasn't vulnerable when it shipped |
| 07:47.15 | *** join/#maemo ceyusa (n=ceyusa@91.117.99.155) |
| 07:47.18 | timeless_mbp | it was vulnerable later |
| 07:47.18 | timeless_mbp | take a linux distro from 2001 and set it up on a computer |
| 07:47.19 | ShadowJK | I guess the combination of getting man pages, compiler and editor installed by default was the thing that really made it for me |
| 07:47.45 | thux | also installing programs is harder in windows, with linux you just use apt-get yum emerge or such |
| 07:47.46 | timeless_mbp | then check a web site to find out how many vulnerabilities it has |
| 07:48.11 | ShadowJK | couldn't afford to stay online more than an hour or so per day in those days, so searching libc functions online wasnt an option :) |
| 07:48.27 | timeless_mbp | first, i think you'll find that your distro won't be supported today by your vendor |
| 07:48.27 | timeless_mbp | which might mean you don't get any software updates |
| 07:49.07 | thux | i switched to linux cause it is easier to use for newbie like me |
| 07:50.00 | ShadowJK | But anyway, XP is pretty nice as long as you dont install software... But when the user then buys a printer or digital camera and installs the software disc, suddenly instead of having XP'S UI, they now have new UIs that use different looking widgets and primitives, as well as having different logic and workflow compared to the XP they just started struggling with :( |
| 07:50.07 | suihkulokki | timeless_mbp: it did happen. I had a friend who bought a new XP machine, plugged into internet, XP proceed to download fixes and before the download finished the machine was infected and the friend was calling me :P |
| 07:50.09 | *** join/#maemo sergio (n=sergio@91.117.99.155) |
| 07:50.49 | ShadowJK | which is a bit of a shame, since XP has perfectly usable and friendly interface for dealing both with printers and digital cameras, as well as burning CDs and stuff, no need for all the confusing third party software really |
| 07:51.30 | ShadowJK | suihkulokki: yeah but "properly setup" Machine comes with latest XP updates anyway ;p |

| 07:54.38 | timeless_mbp | in diablo the text input control panel let you turn that stuff off |
| 07:54.48 | timeless_mbp | unless you actually want it for the non bt keyboards |
| 07:54.57 | timeless_mbp | in which case, i don't think we're that granular |

| 07:55.50 | ShadowJK | Id want it to go away when I use the bluetooth keyboard, and I'd want normal stylus/finger onscreen keyboards available when bluetooth keyboard isnt connected :) |

| 11:45.35 | lardman | lol |
| 11:46.07 | lardman | there's one chap who was always too good, he knew the maps too well, so we thought we'd level the playing field |

| 11:48.01 | Jaffa | lardman: I wrote a tool when at IBM to take the AutoCAD files and generate realtime maps of the floorplans (highlighting people's offices) |
| 11:48.22 | derf | Actually, I don't remember if the tower at UT Austin is part of the library or not. I know the bell tower at UNC is not. |
| 11:48.30 | derf | But both of those have had snipers. |
| 11:48.31 | Jaffa | There was enough info to generate a Quake/UT level to explore the site, but no-one ever did (despite talking about it) |
| 11:48.41 | lcuk | lardman, 3d has always been on the cards for architectural work, i was fascinated as a kid seeing some swanky object oriented design system that would only let you position things and move things if it was physically possible |
| 11:48.56 | lcuk | ie you couldnt take a big couch through a door so you couldnt include it in the plans |
| 11:49.15 | lcuk | this went down to the nuts and bolts :) years before sims had it |
| 11:49.37 | lardman | Jaffa: we ran out of time really, I think I have the CAD drawing somewhere around here, but PhD deadlines loomed ever closer |
| 11:50.10 | lcuk | derf, wad files of offices are cool, i often pondered whether all email and tasks should be delivered that way |

| 11:50.38 | amr | is the n810 the best maemo device out atm still? |
| 11:51.18 | lardman | yes |
| 11:51.19 | lcuk | amr, some folks still swear by their 770s :) "best" is subjective in most terms, "newest" is n810 |
| 11:51.21 | amr | my 770 would be useful so much but it has the stupid WSOD (again) and the retailer is being arsey |
| 11:51.56 | amr | it looks like i can get an n810 on ebay for ~150. im thinking it would be mega useful for uni |
| 11:53.08 | lcuk | i believe theres practically new stock for ~$200 in places, check before you shell out close to that for a second user system |
| 11:53.26 | amr | :o |

| 11:55.45 | LinuxCode | amr, besides you wont need one anymore until you start uni |
| 11:55.55 | lardman | lcuk: well when there's a clear jump I would wait, for incremental I would just get it when I need it |

| 13:05.21 | BogdanR | Can anyone give me some pointers on how to rebuild the FIASCO image |
| 13:05.42 | Stskeeps | yeah, that's a interesting problematique - go comment on the open flasher bug |
| 13:06.10 | Stskeeps | what do you want to do? |
| 13:06.28 | t_s_o | any news on a green light for the community taking over the updates for diablo? |
| 13:06.29 | BogdanR | I want to bundle my own set of applications and configurations in the image |
| 13:07.01 | Stskeeps | right, but you are aware you cannot distribute it to anyone but yourself? |
| 13:07.10 | Stskeeps | if so, i would just make a rootfs jffs instead |
| 13:07.24 | BogdanR | I see |
| 13:07.31 | BogdanR | and how do I do that? |
| 13:07.37 | Jaffa | t_s_o: Technically it seems straightforward. I guess we just need to find time to rebuild h-a-m and a new osso-software-version-rx* |

| 13:08.59 | BogdanR | Actually my main question is how can I backup what's now on the device as a jffs image |
| 13:09.17 | BogdanR | because with mkfs I just format a fs |
| 13:09.49 | BogdanR | Stskeeps: If I make my own jffs image would I be allowed to distribute that? |
| 13:10.06 | Jaffa | t_s_o: Hildon Application Manager. There are some useful fixes we submitted, that were merged, that can be seen in mer - but not diablo |
| 13:10.42 | Stskeeps | BogdanR: probably not, the curse of Maemo, it's 80% open source, 20% closed |

| 13:11.14 | X-Fade | Stskeeps: Although if you keep the initfs, you can do a lot? |
| 13:11.39 | BogdanR | I thought that kernel stuff are closed source |
| 13:12.09 | Stskeeps | X-Fade: yeah but then there's DSP codecs, most of the os2008 apps.. etc |
| 13:12.14 | BogdanR | Mer doesn't use any of the closed source things? |
| 13:12.18 | Stskeeps | it just gets very difficult to distinguish |
| 13:12.36 | Stskeeps | BogdanR: we try to keep a 100% open source rootfs.. with ln -s's into initfs |
| 13:12.41 | Stskeeps | we dont distribute initfs |

| 13:14.10 | Stskeeps | BogdanR: i would boot into either mer or a cloned maemo and mount the rootfs and mkfs.jffs2 that :P |

| 14:05.53 | lizardo | X-Fade: ok, thanks :) for PyMaemo we actually don't need anything from Diablo, as we uploaded all required packages already (pretty much all of them were updated since diablo) |
| 14:06.13 | X-Fade | lizardo: Yeah, I figured that. But I had to ask :) |
| 14:06.55 | lizardo | X-Fade: I'm just tracking maemo-extras-cauldron to make sure that none of the packages being uploaded replace/break the current PyMaemo set |
| 14:07.41 | lizardo | X-Fade: but fortunately the autobuilder rejects older versions, so that has not been a problem so far :) |
| 14:08.18 | X-Fade | lizardo: yeah, we should add even more checks soon. We need to prevent obvious breakages. |

| 14:11.43 | lizardo | X-Fade: one possible check (not sure if easy to make) is to reject packages that are listed in Provides/Replaces/Conflicts fields of some existing package , this would detect renamed packages, for instance libffi4 -> libffi5 case |
| 14:15.07 | lizardo | X-Fade: another one might be to reject (or at least add some big warning on the e-mail sent to the extras-cauldron) packages that are listed in "alternative dependencies" of existing packages. Example: a package named "x" which has Depends: a|b (where b is already available in the repository, and thus satisfies the dependency); then some other user uploads a package named "a", then package "x" might end up using "a" as dependency without knowing it |
| 14:16.39 | lizardo | X-Fade: that last one was the case for the recent libclutter break |

| 14:21.57 | lbt | it's done |
| 14:22.06 | lbt | Mer Stable is just about out |
| 14:22.11 | fiferboy | Is it included by default, or just available? |

| 14:22.36 | lbt | but it is in the core repo |

| 14:35.29 | X-Fade | Stskeeps: I made 3 full day hikes this week. No problem with fixes what so ever. |

| 14:35.57 | amr | i wonder if they ship internationally |

| 14:36.42 | Jaffa | has had relatively good performance from the GPS recently too |
| 14:36.47 | amr | haha |

| 14:39.36 | amr | and buy.com dont ship intl, how disappointing :( |
| 14:39.52 | kfx | I like the e61 but I don't like closed-source stuff |
| 14:40.05 | kfx | and now that I've messed with maemo I hope nokia drops symbian for it, to be honest |
| 14:40.09 | amr | yeah |
| 14:40.42 | kfx | moblin looks like it'll be a tough competitor |

| 15:49.04 | mib_d22bkd | does somebody can help me? my problem is... |
| 15:49.43 | mib_d22bkd | i have install ubuntu on nokia n800 and it boots till 99% and stops |
| 15:49.57 | mib_d22bkd | what is wrong ? |
| 15:50.14 | mgedmin | it stops |
| 15:50.22 | mgedmin | I'm pretty sure that's wrong |
| 15:50.31 | amr | moblin looks pretty cool |
| 15:50.33 | kfx | XD |
| 15:50.54 | mib_d22bkd | i wanna to test ubuntu, after this i wil test other distros |
| 15:51.01 | mib_d22bkd | so, anybody can help me? |
| 15:51.02 | mgedmin | do you get any startup messages, or just a splash screen? |
| 15:51.44 | mib_d22bkd | splash screen and progress bar on bottom is going till around. 99% |
| 15:52.01 | mgedmin | can you try booting in rescue mode to see what's happening? |
| 15:52.10 | mgedmin | how long did you wait? maybe it's still busy doing something? |
| 15:52.24 | mgedmin | the ubuntu progress bar is not very reliable, in my observation |
| 15:52.39 | mib_d22bkd | 10minutes... |
| 15:53.01 | mib_d22bkd | ok, i wil find how to boot in rescue, then i will tell whats wrong |
| 15:53.39 | mgedmin | ooh, 10 minutes certainly ought to be enough |
| 15:53.41 | lbt | mib_d22bkd: you know that Mer is essentially ubuntu 9.04 for N8x0 don't you? |
| 15:54.01 | mgedmin | lbt: that's a good tagline; I never considered it in that way before |
| 15:54.01 | lbt | but actually optimised to work |
| 15:54.12 | mib_d22bkd | hmm... but, is Mer has polish-locale? |
| 15:54.37 | lbt | the main dev has a polish girlfriend... |
| 15:54.46 | lbt | IIRC |
| 15:55.00 | mib_d22bkd | ;] |
| 15:55.50 | mib_d22bkd | ok, i have rescue mode, what now? |
| 15:56.18 | mib_d22bkd | active console on framebuffer? |
| 15:57.43 | mib_d22bkd | ok, its boot in console... waiting; ] |
| 15:57.46 | amr | oh bugger it |
| 15:57.49 | amr | im buying this n810 |
| 15:57.53 | amr | with SD card and mini usb cable |
| 15:58.25 | mib_d22bkd | ok, i found that xserver canot open (/etc/default/x-derver.defs) |
| 15:58.49 | mgedmin | is that a problem? there's no such file on my laptop |
| 15:59.01 | mib_d22bkd | i found this (It might be that the xserver doesn't start, download this file http://bazaar.launchpad.net/%7Emer-c...bx-3/xorg.conf (xorg.conf that Mer uses) and put it in /etc/X11/ and see if it helps) |
| 15:59.11 | mib_d22bkd | may it help? |
| 16:00.23 | mib_d22bkd | hmm... i wil go right now for testing... |
| 16:00.39 | GAN800 | kfx, what Jaffa said, it's aint no mobile UI. |
| 16:01.37 | amr | i know this is a 'go google it' question |
| 16:01.50 | mib_d22bkd | :) |
| 16:01.51 | amr | but are there any decent mail clients that can handle exchange? |
| 16:02.07 | amr | or OWA |
| 16:02.29 | lbt | outlook is quite nice really |
| 16:02.44 | amr | for maemo |
| 16:03.20 | lbt | you are aware they run linux? |
| 16:03.26 | amr | yes of course i am |
| 16:03.46 | lbt | and exchange integration is a challenge on a full blown desktop? |
| 16:03.59 | amr | i have no idea, i dont use linux on the desktop |
| 16:04.02 | amr | and last time i did, it was |
| 16:04.15 | lbt | and these devices have 128Mb of RAM |
| 16:04.30 | amr | are you just going to dance around the question all day? |
| 16:04.53 | amr | simple really, is there a client i can use to connect to my OWA account so i dont have to use the shitty web client? |
| 16:06.19 | Jaffa | No |
| 16:06.20 | kfx | lbt is hinting at "no" |
| 16:06.37 | amr | thank you, simple enough |
| 16:06.38 | amr | :) |
| 16:06.57 | kfx | the problem isn't limited to exchange |
| 16:07.15 | lbt | [17:01] <amr> i know this is a 'go google it' question <--- so I was assuming you did and explained the background a bit... |
| 16:07.25 | amr | oic |
| 16:07.37 | kfx | I was looking at writing a small pim suite that would use EDS and sync to something non-google |
| 16:07.51 | kfx | but there doesn't really appear to be a useable standard regarding the matter |
| 16:07.55 | amr | lol |
| 16:08.14 | kfx | which makes me less irked at google for reinventing the wheel with google calendar et al |
| 16:08.20 | kfx | but still leaves me in the lurch |
| 16:08.20 | lbt | kfx gpe |
| 16:08.27 | lbt | and caldav |
| 16:08.43 | lbt | gpe uses ical now |
| 16:08.44 | amr | yeah, my college has a google account set up so i can use university things |
| 16:08.50 | amr | but i wouldnt have access to my main university mail |
| 16:08.53 | lbt | and you can run egroupware with caldav |
| 16:08.55 | kfx | gpe is cumbersome and imo not suited for the tablet at all |
| 16:08.58 | amr | i suppose i could just forward, like everyone else |
| 16:09.27 | kfx | it'd be less work to "fix" the pimlico tools than to fix gpe |
| 16:09.33 | lbt | likes gpe-calendar much better than nothing |
| 16:09.51 | lbt | would like qpe though... |
| 16:09.53 | amr | part of my reasoning to get another tablet was how useful itd be while im at lectures |
| 16:09.59 | amr | means i dont have to bring my laptop to check things quickly |
| 16:10.36 | amr | oh what am i talking about |
| 16:10.43 | amr | the uni just added imap support, thats me sorted hah |
| 16:10.51 | kfx | does qt still treat c as a second-class language? |
| 16:11.09 | lbt | rightly so |
| 16:11.15 | kfx | yeah, not interested |
| 16:11.35 | kfx | at least I can code gtk without clumsy object garbage |
| 16:11.50 | lbt | heh, welcome to the 90's |
| 16:12.17 | kfx | yuk it up, I remember when c++ was just a huge, ugly c preprocessor |
| 16:12.24 | kfx | and to a great extent it hasn't gotten any better |
| 16:12.55 | lcuk | keeps pondering examining cfront |
| 16:13.23 | lbt | yeah... OO will never catch on... dunno what I'm thinking |
| 16:13.54 | kfx | iirc cfront died because it didn't do exception handling? I could be wrong about that |
| 16:14.07 | luke-jr | kfx: it's not a big deal if you code things correctly ;) |
| 16:14.16 | luke-jr | eg, GUI is just an interface to a CLI app |
| 16:14.25 | kfx | I remember watching with great amusement as people wondered how to get cfront running, because it was written in c++, and you needed cfront to build it... |
| 16:14.28 | lcuk | i have no qualms with oo - its very very good, but the butchering from qt to force c++ into runtime OO with meta info and stuff seems a bit ott |
| 16:14.50 | luke-jr | lcuk: Qt and C++ are two different languages |
| 16:14.52 | kfx | oo in general is okay for tremendously huge projects with dozens of developers |
| 16:14.57 | luke-jr | Qt is to C++ what C++ is to C |
| 16:15.06 | kfx | but for most applications that level of abstraction is just a waste of time |
| 16:15.09 | lbt | (nb they are the ones that actually hire people BTW) |
| 16:15.11 | lcuk | i have to agree |
| 16:15.56 | timeless_mbp | luke-jr: um |
| 16:16.07 | timeless_mbp | Qt:C++ :: GObject:C |
| 16:16.22 | timeless_mbp | they both hack the language so much that it isn't the language you thought you knew |
| 16:16.32 | luke-jr | timeless_mbp: no comment on GTK, I don't touch it |
| 16:16.48 | timeless_mbp | luke-jr:i have no love for any of them |
| 16:16.54 | lcuk | qt is actually c++ with some mashing to force it to make meta info available - generically runtime type info isnt available i think |
| 16:16.59 | timeless_mbp | and i'm picking GObject not GTK |
| 16:17.01 | luke-jr | C++ has an entirely different stdlib, and a few syntax changes (from C) |
| 16:17.15 | luke-jr | Qt likewise, has an entirely different stdlib, and a few syntax changes (from C++) |
| 16:17.30 | luke-jr | timeless_mbp: GObject is part of GTK |
| 16:17.32 | lcuk | mind you, every library has its isms |
| 16:17.41 | lcuk | its whether or not it requires language retraining |
| 16:18.19 | kfx | decides to write all his maemo stuff with xlib |
| 16:18.28 | luke-jr | timeless_mbp: I draw the line when "Hello World" changes |
| 16:18.36 | timeless_mbp | luke-jr: it's a building block |
| 16:18.49 | timeless_mbp | you can build something that doesn't resemble or relate to GTK from GObject |
| 16:19.00 | luke-jr | if a glib "Hello World" is different from a C "Hello World", then fine |
| 16:19.13 | luke-jr | but I consider GObject/glib to be part of GTK |
| 16:19.34 | timeless_mbp | what's the fremantle widget set called? :) |
| 16:20.02 | timeless_mbp | oh, Clutter! |
| 16:21.39 | Stskeeps | luke-jr: you consider gconf part of GTK :P |
| 16:21.54 | luke-jr | Stskeeps: no, I consider gconf part of GNOME |
| 16:21.56 | timeless_mbp | are MAFW and Clutter part of GTK? |
| 16:22.20 | luke-jr | [I] gnome-base/gconf |
| 16:22.23 | luke-jr | <PROTECTED> |
| 16:23.13 | Jaffa | luke-jr: GObject/glib is a separate project. I can write a Vala program depending on glib with no libgtk dependency |
| 16:23.34 | kfx | oh lord, gconf |
| 16:23.36 | timeless_mbp | luke-jr: it's true that historically GObject was written for use by GTK |
| 16:23.46 | timeless_mbp | but w/ time it is possible to distinguish them |
| 16:23.51 | kfx | gconf is the result of the gnome devs seeing the windows registry and thinking "what a great idea" |
| 16:24.00 | timeless_mbp | kfx: and getting it all wrong :) |
| 16:24.09 | kfx | not like there's a way to get that right |
| 16:24.24 | timeless_mbp | ms's impl isn't really that bad |
| 16:24.25 | luke-jr | Jaffa: they're the same in my book |
| 16:24.30 | luke-jr | I want neither on my PC |
| 16:24.50 | derf | timeless_mbp: Have you ever tried to _use_ MS's API, though? |
| 16:24.55 | timeless_mbp | derf: yes |
| 16:24.56 | kfx | the whole idea is nasty |
| 16:24.56 | derf | It is abominable. |
| 16:25.15 | timeless_mbp | kfx: you prefer each app to have its own private arbitrary settings format |
| 16:25.23 | timeless_mbp | which it randomly misplaces throughout your file system? |
| 16:25.24 | derf | gconf's implementation may suck, but at least I can write code for it in a reasonable manner. |
| 16:25.24 | kfx | timeless_mbp: don't put words in my mouth |
| 16:25.36 | timeless_mbp | derf: *cough* |
| 16:25.41 | kfx | I prefer programs to have configuration settings editable without a gui |
| 16:25.51 | timeless_mbp | the gconf consuming code i've read is awful |
| 16:25.56 | kfx | and furthermore, if the program puts its config in the wrong place, patch the source to fix it |
| 16:26.09 | timeless_mbp | kfx: oh sure, that works well for mathematica |
| 16:26.14 | timeless_mbp | or a large project |
| 16:26.27 | kfx | I don't use mathematica for reasons like this |
| 16:26.42 | timeless_mbp | i'm not claiming mathematica uses the registry |
| 16:26.53 | luke-jr | if we have a centralized registry, at least make it not have crappy dependencies |
| 16:26.54 | timeless_mbp | it probably doesn't, it's merely a way for me to avoid singling out the usual suspects |
| 16:26.55 | kfx | any program too poorly-written to be brought in line doesn't run on my servers, fully stop |
| 16:27.20 | timeless_mbp | kfx: i presume you don't run apache :) |
| 16:27.41 | kfx | apache can be brought in line |
| 16:27.53 | kfx | I don't run, for instance, netbeans |
| 16:28.08 | timeless_mbp | shrugs |
| 16:28.11 | kfx | it was a long fight to get the department to migrate away from it, too |
| 16:28.20 | timeless_mbp | to what, eclipse? |
| 16:28.25 | kfx | but it's the 21st century and I don't have to tolerate shoddy design |
| 16:28.29 | kfx | to geany |
| 16:28.32 | timeless_mbp | heh |
| 16:28.46 | timeless_mbp | afaict, geany isn't in the same league |
| 16:28.48 | lcuk | timeless_mbp, what do you prefer coding in |
| 16:28.51 | kfx | it's not |
| 16:28.52 | lcuk | deep in the bowels of c? |
| 16:28.54 | timeless_mbp | which isn't to say one league is better than another |
| 16:29.03 | timeless_mbp | lcuk: notepad - javascript |
| 16:29.03 | amr | anyone here use boingo ? |
| 16:29.09 | kfx | but our job is to teach programming, not to teach students how to stitch java libraries together |
| 16:29.15 | derf | AFAICT, the 21st century has even more shoddy design than the 20th. |

| 16:30.22 | timeless_mbp | i used Netbeans (and even did some qa/testing/etc w/ it) 8+years ago |
| 16:30.30 | kfx | I think you'll find the more advanced a student gets into computer science the less she makes use of huge piles of IDE |
| 16:30.30 | timeless_mbp | in college |

| 16:30.38 | kfx | s/p/o/; |
| 16:30.42 | timeless_mbp | shrugs |
| 16:30.52 | timeless_mbp | i use notepad or equivalents most of the time |
| 16:31.08 | kfx | if notepad could display line numbers it would be great |
| 16:31.10 | timeless_mbp | however, i will use an IDE (XCode, msdev, netbeans) |
| 16:31.20 | timeless_mbp | kfx: ctrl-g will tell you the current line number |
| 16:31.31 | timeless_mbp | (as long as you turn off line wrap) |
| 16:31.43 | kfx | I'm to the point where I can't use a text editor that doesn't support regular expressions |
| 16:31.46 | Jaffa | wouldn't do any professional programming without an IDE (even if it's just to manage a collection of files, syntax highlighting, Java/perldoc lookup and present some svn info) these days |
| 16:31.48 | kfx | but I'm pretty far gone |
| 16:32.07 | timeless_mbp | kfx: i do most of my regexp's w/ perl |
| 16:32.19 | timeless_mbp | i can write regexps in msdev or xcode or whatever |
| 16:32.33 | timeless_mbp | but inevitably i have to learn that stupid app's variation of regexps |
| 16:32.38 | timeless_mbp | which isn't worth it |
| 16:32.49 | timeless_mbp | the app will tell me if the file changed on disk and offer to reload |
| 16:32.51 | kfx | vi does enough for me |
| 16:32.54 | timeless_mbp | (yay IDE!) |
| 16:33.03 | kfx | if I'm hacking on something huge I'll use vim with taglist |
| 16:33.19 | timeless_mbp | fwiw, i often use vi, but really vi, not vim |
| 16:33.28 | timeless_mbp | for me, vi is basically notepad |
| 16:33.35 | timeless_mbp | i don't use visual mode |
| 16:33.50 | kfx | command mode is where it's at |

| 17:23.30 | GAN800 | Well, the thing that bothers me about bug trackers is that there's no obvious way to get started for new users. |
| 17:23.47 | coldboot | It seems Diablo has qt here: http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel/pool/diablo/free/q/ |

| 17:23.54 | coldboot | But Chinook doesn't have Qt at all... |

| 17:27.24 | timeless_mbp | i don't mind a feed |

| 17:27.47 | timeless_mbp | popular bugs? |
| 17:27.50 | GAN800 | just had leftover pasta for lunch. |
| 17:27.50 | timeless_mbp | old bugs? |
| 17:28.13 | timeless_mbp | keep in mind that if you offer popular bugs, you're encouraging "me too"syndrome |
| 17:28.39 | GAN800 | 5-10 most recent, then 5-10 severity/priority/something. |
| 17:29.02 | timeless_mbp | i'm not sure how to write that query |
| 17:29.04 | timeless_mbp | but ok :) |
| 17:29.25 | GAN800 | Most recent would be good enough for me, honestly. |

| 22:32.22 | luke-jr | lcuk: BUT DOES IT USE QTâ |
| 22:32.36 | lcuk | does it fuck, qt doesnt compile fast enough on my tablet |
| 22:32.39 | lardman | yuck, c++ code |
| 22:32.44 | lardman | ;) |
| 22:32.50 | lcuk | im not waiting around for ages waiting for one singl,e file to compile |
| 22:32.52 | lbt | ignores the pheasants |
| 22:32.57 | ShadowJK | will have none of that QT stuff on his tablet |
| 22:32.58 | lardman | lol |
| 22:33.06 | lcuk | i might start using c++ again once i get a new tablet |
| 22:33.11 | lcuk | but for now on my 810 its too slow |
| 22:33.36 | luke-jr | lcuk is too slow |
| 22:33.39 | ShadowJK | That's not to say I have anything against QT. However, I don't want TWO memory hogging toolkits in a memory constrained device, and I can't entirely get rid of GTK and be left with a usable tablet, so QT gets the ban for now :) |
| 22:33.58 | lcuk | luke-jr, :) have you actually seen any of my stuff or do you just like bitching at things |
| 22:34.00 | luke-jr | my tablet is GTK-less |
| 22:34.10 | luke-jr | lcuk: it's not in Gentoo! |
| 22:34.19 | lcuk | its open source |
| 22:34.20 | lcuk | port it |
| 22:34.38 | lcuk | i build everything for it completely on tablet - just like you |
| 22:34.38 | luke-jr | no u |
| 22:34.46 | luke-jr | Qt or fail |
| 22:35.03 | lbt | ShadowJK: I'm hoping the SmartQ5+ will have 1Gb RAM.... |
| 22:35.17 | lbt | and 3D accel |
| 22:35.32 | lcuk | i thought the smartq didnt have 3d either? |
| 22:35.38 | lbt | is obviously typing whilst asleep |
| 22:35.50 | lcuk | would be nice |
| 22:35.57 | lbt | well, it doesn't have the specs available |
| 22:36.04 | lcuk | but after the work ive been doing its not an end game any more ;) |
| 22:36.08 | lardman | lbt: it already has 3D accel |
| 22:36.23 | lbt | I didn't think we had drivers? |
| 22:36.25 | lardman | lbt: it does have the specs available |
| 22:36.31 | lbt | oh |
| 22:36.32 | lardman | no drivers, write your own |
| 22:36.36 | lcuk | nice! |
| 22:36.37 | lbt | ah |
| 22:36.42 | lcuk | thats actually good fodder |
| 22:36.43 | lardman | not a glib comment, certainly an option |
| 22:37.02 | lardman | there's a link to a CPU manual somewhere near the end of the thread on Talk |
| 22:37.07 | lcuk | create raw miniature driver and build on it |
| 22:37.11 | lbt | well, as I said, Greg KH is willing to advise |
| 22:38.04 | luke-jr | Ã |
| 22:39.12 | luke-jr | wonders how long till Nokia realizes everyone will be migrating to SmartQ for next-gen technology if they don't get their act straight |
| 22:39.37 | lardman | well the smartQ is cool, as it's hackable, but really it's not nextgen hw |
| 22:39.40 | lcuk | smartq isnt really next gen |
| 22:39.43 | lcuk | its just different |
| 22:39.59 | lcuk | a backwards step in some respects - camera keyboard etc |
| 22:40.03 | lcuk | but the bigger one looks good |
| 22:40.03 | lardman | cpu is a bit faster, it may even have the same powervr mbx gpu, hard to tell |
| 22:40.07 | luke-jr | next-gen = next generation |
| 22:40.14 | luke-jr | eg, next purchase |
| 22:40.31 | lcuk | anyone know if there are hangers on the back |
| 22:40.34 | lardman | ah, well few people will buy one over an n800 I wouldn't think |
| 22:40.39 | lcuk | i want a wall mounted version |
| 22:40.42 | lardman | unless they want to write drivers and the like |
| 22:41.06 | lardman | lcuk: there's a stand, there's an unboxing video, etc., on umpc portal |
| 22:41.10 | luke-jr | N800 is inferior in every way� |
| 22:41.13 | lcuk | stand doesnt help |
| 22:41.15 | lardman | no |
| 22:41.18 | lcuk | hate the stand on 810 |
| 22:41.23 | lcuk | i press it falls over |

| 23:02.58 | luke-jr | PDF is copyrighted, FWIW |
| 23:03.12 | luke-jr | but as long as that site with it is authorized, I see no reason a driver based on it would have issues |
| 23:03.15 | ShadowJK | and you'd need drivers for it too (h264 accel) |
| 23:03.24 | luke-jr | ShadowJK: obviously |
| 23:03.33 | luke-jr | but that PDF has full specs for everything I think |
| 23:05.35 | lardman | yeah, other than for the firmware required to drive the mini DSP |
| 23:06.11 | lcuk | copyright protects copying, a pdf explaining a driver is one step removed from the driver itself - if the end result for us was a pdf explaining a driver in the style of the existing document then yeah its a problem |
| 23:06.25 | lcuk | but using the documentation and reimplenting a driver from it is fair game |
| 23:06.46 | luke-jr | exactly |
| 23:06.52 | lardman | well isn't it all fair game in Europe anyway? |
| 23:07.06 | lcuk | the further east you go, the more fair the game ;) |

| 23:11.19 | luke-jr | I seem to be pissing lcuk off a bit too much today |
| 23:11.20 | luke-jr | lol |
| 23:11.25 | lcuk | yes luke, thats the second time recently :) |
| 23:12.18 | ShadowJK | man... |
| 23:12.32 | lcuk | ...i feel like a bacon buttie |
| 23:12.33 | ShadowJK | I wish nokia didn't ever pre-announce or leak any models |
| 23:12.35 | lcuk | bbl |
| 23:12.44 | ShadowJK | it's so damn annoying |
| 23:12.57 | lcuk | me stopped waiting a long time ago |
| 23:12.57 | luke-jr | ShadowJK: actually, it helps me in my argument a little |
| 23:13.03 | luke-jr | since they haven't announced anything |
| 23:13.11 | luke-jr | I can insist on calling N810 their *current platform* |
| 23:13.11 | GeneralAntilles | yawns tiredly. |
| 23:13.18 | luke-jr | and complain of their poor support for it |
| 23:13.20 | ShadowJK | Oh I mean for picking a new phone |
| 23:13.49 | ShadowJK | I think GeneralAntilles can testify, that the situation over on the symbian side isn't that great either ;) |
| 23:13.53 | luke-jr | who needs a new phone? |
| 23:14.00 | luke-jr | my phone from 2004 works just fine |
| 23:14.04 | ShadowJK | or anyone who's used and tried to develop both symbian and maemo |
| 23:14.15 | ShadowJK | luke-jr, I need more ram in mine :-( |
| 23:14.16 | GeneralAntilles | Symbian is the suck. |
| 23:14.20 | luke-jr | ShadowJK: why? |
| 23:14.31 | GeneralAntilles | The core phone functionality is OK, but my free Samsung featurephone was OK at that. |
| 23:14.32 | luke-jr | I don't think i've even used half the addressbook space in min |
| 23:14.33 | luke-jr | e |
| 23:14.40 | Corsac | depends on if you need a phone to phone or if you need a pda, an internet access or whatever |
| 23:14.42 | lcuk | luke-jr, thats a lot of sense in that - and you cannot blanket say better faster more tech will win the day: look at ps3 vs wii |
| 23:14.49 | luke-jr | Corsac: then it's not a phone :p |
| 23:14.53 | lcuk | on speca slone the wii should be dead in the water |
| 23:14.54 | Corsac | my point |
| 23:15.09 | luke-jr | specs alone* |
| 23:15.12 | Corsac | the only thing I hate on my phone is the ridiculous limit on sms numbers |
| 23:15.19 | ShadowJK | luke-jr, because when I run out of RAM, symbian picks to kill the program that would annoy me the most if died |
| 23:15.20 | GeneralAntilles | lcuk, game consoles are a weak comparison. |
| 23:15.21 | lardman | lcuk: I bet the ps3 is better for architects, amongst others |
| 23:15.24 | luke-jr | my phone doesn't even support SMS crap |
| 23:15.40 | lcuk | still got a curly wire? |
| 23:15.40 | GeneralAntilles | The Wii's specs don't hinder you from doing things as a consumer. |
| 23:15.52 | GeneralAntilles | Whereas a slow tablet will hinder you from browsing some Flash sites. |
| 23:15.57 | luke-jr | lcuk: no, the antenna broke a long time ago |
| 23:16.08 | lcuk | but a fast tabnlet isnt much better - the iphone cant browse flash |
| 23:16.16 | GeneralAntilles | Either way, the Wii still has a ton of power nobody's tapped into yet. |
| 23:16.17 | lcuk | (or can it now) |
| 23:16.26 | GeneralAntilles | lcuk, the iPhone really isn't much faster. |
| 23:16.30 | Corsac | flash sucks anyway |
| 23:16.35 | lardman | that's generally considered a blessing! |
| 23:16.39 | lcuk | but its had all the rendering time taken off from the cpu |
| 23:16.46 | lcuk | thats our biggest bottleneck |
| 23:16.59 | lcuk | this 810 is fuckinhg quick! :) |
| 23:17.19 | LiraNuna | imagine it with HW accel |
| 23:17.30 | ShadowJK | It's not like much of the rendering done by QT or GTK can be accelerated anyway, they mostly just push pixmaps... |
| 23:17.40 | luke-jr | my N810 has been trying to get a lock for 1½ hrs -.- |
| 23:18.01 | lcuk | bbl anyway |
| 23:18.04 | ShadowJK | It's impossible indoors unless you put it in a window that faces south ;) |
| 23:18.16 | luke-jr | ShadowJK: Maemo does it indoors in a matter of seconds |
| 23:18.38 | ShadowJK | ah |
| 23:18.38 | luke-jr | the problem is stupid Nokia won't let us REALLY use the GPS |
| 23:18.52 | lardman | no that's not true |
| 23:18.55 | luke-jr | yes it is |
| 23:19.03 | LiraNuna | horray closed source |
| 23:19.11 | luke-jr | glares at LiraNuna |
| 23:19.11 | lardman | it would be nice if we could have access to the source to see if we can work out where the problem lies though |

| 23:20.01 | LiraNuna | anyone tried ubuntu netbook remix on the N8x0? |

| 23:20.14 | luke-jr | LiraNuna: afaik, b-man made it |
| 23:20.19 | luke-jr | for the N8x0 |
| 23:20.22 | LiraNuna | not desktop ubuntu |
| 23:20.34 | ShadowJK | lardman, it's not something you can workaround in software except by AGPS, which reduces the amount of data that the receiver has to download from the satellites. It needs constant good signal from the satellite for quite some time, the bitrate is quite slow... |
| 23:20.37 | GAN800 | LiraNuna, does a tablet sound like a netbook? |
| 23:20.55 | LiraNuna | GAN800, optimized for resolution |
| 23:21.08 | GAN800 | LiraNuna, Clutter |
| 23:21.18 | lardman | ShadowJK: I was thinking more of whether corrupt nvd_data was causing a problem, and changing gpsdriver to avoid that |
| 23:21.39 | ShadowJK | Well luke is probably running it entirely without nvd_data? |
| 23:21.48 | luke-jr | ShadowJK: probably |
| 23:21.59 | lardman | ShadowJK: I think there's a fundamental crapness to the chipset firmware and probably the snr of the signal due to the aerial, but we can't change either of those |
| 23:22.09 | ShadowJK | yeah |

| 23:22.58 | Corsac | fine, fine⦠|
| 23:23.05 | Corsac | it's usually quite slow |
| 23:23.11 | ShadowJK | lardman, I did reported SNR comparison between sirfstar and n810.. the n810 plot looked better actually |
| 23:23.32 | ShadowJK | (sortof) |
| 23:24.09 | ShadowJK | actually it's pretty hard to make sense |
| 23:24.11 | lardman | I mean the lower level snr, of the actual signal from the sat, not the decoded pos |
| 23:24.22 | ShadowJK | http://enivax.net/jk/gps-10hrsatplot.png |
| 23:24.33 | ShadowJK | whiter = bigger reported SNR |
| 23:24.47 | lardman | ah :D |
| 23:25.03 | lardman | SNR has no fixed meaning in NMEA data, it can mean anything the manuf wants it to |
| 23:25.15 | ShadowJK | yeah |
| 23:25.19 | lardman | I had a reference for that somewhere, I'll have to dif it out for you |
| 23:25.32 | ShadowJK | though look at how broken the lines are towards the righthand side of the plot for the righthand receiver |
| 23:25.36 | LiraNuna | what's the GPS chip on the N8x0 again? |
| 23:25.44 | lardman | Ti 5300 iirc |
| 23:26.21 | LiraNuna | not SiRFstar III |
| 23:26.22 | LiraNuna | ? |
| 23:26.26 | ShadowJK | no |
| 23:26.37 | ShadowJK | if you want a sirfstar you buy one :) |
| 23:26.52 | LiraNuna | I'm just inquiring ... |
| 23:27.01 | ShadowJK | in maemo the GPS performance can be shockingly good sometimes |

| 23:27.19 | ShadowJK | last weekend I clocked 7 seconds to first fix after a week of not using the GPS |
| 23:27.37 | lardman | oh, look at the time, bed time for me |
| 23:27.39 | lardman | night all |
| 23:27.39 | Corsac | well, if you were at the same place? |
| 23:28.12 | ShadowJK | The AGPS data was up to date, yes |
| 23:28.51 | ShadowJK | If you turn off the GPS and drive hundreds of kilometres, you need to give the agps a new hint if you want it to be fast... |

Just when I was thinking "ooooh, E75 will soon be available (for real), it's the most decent looking alternative right now", and then then they have to leak out information about an upcoming new phone that's kinda like E75 but adds media player hardware keys on the case... now I want that one instead, grrr. |

| 23:32.24 | ShadowJK | ah well, it's great for my wallet, I'll never get around to it this way :) |
| 23:32.43 | luke-jr | Corsac: generally, I have GPS running whenever I'm moving |
| 23:32.44 | ShadowJK | I'd think you would have the GPS on when moving |
| 23:32.50 | ShadowJK | that's what I do.. |
| 23:33.24 | ShadowJK | Especially if I would move far enough that it would be making a difference for the AGPS, because then I'd be far away from roads I know.. |
| 23:33.56 | Corsac | ShadowJK: not always, and there _definitely_ is a problem, a lot of people are annoyed by gps slowness (not only on n810). Some devices works better than other, thoug, and n810 is not in the list, from what I can see |
| 23:34.28 | Corsac | and no, you don't leave gps always on because it'll suck you battery at quick rate |

| 23:36.35 | ShadowJK | going to germany in august, will at some point check how long it takes for gps to find itself after the flight :) |

| 23:45.49 | luke-jr | or else they're being utterly negligent |
| 23:45.50 | GAN800 | Can you tell me the frequencies every device on an aircraft operates on? |
| 23:46.23 | GAN800 | or guarantee that no device could possibly step on them? |

| 23:46.51 | luke-jr | and risk us breaking rules? |
| 23:46.56 | ShadowJK | they even ask you to switch off mp3 players.. |
| 23:47.17 | luke-jr | ShadowJK: that might actually make sense |
