| 01:16.42 | javispedro | Left(s$, Len(s$) - 1) I think |
| 01:16.51 | javispedro | (yes, my mind was corrupted by BASIC when I was young :P ) |
| 01:17.06 | lcuk | thats ok |
| 01:17.25 | lcuk | its trying to null terminate a string thats just been read from file |
| 01:17.27 | javispedro | what's the problem? |
| 01:17.28 | javispedro | aaa |
| 01:17.42 | lcuk | in c a string will continue until it reaches a null |
| 01:17.43 | javispedro | yeah, then you have a problem :) |
| 01:17.53 | javispedro | since you're discarding the last char. |
| 01:18.10 | ShadowJK | that basic looks familoar, and I remember writing lines just like that |
| 01:18.14 | lcuk | not really |
| 01:18.22 | ShadowJK | but I can't "think" in it anymore... |
| 01:18.29 | wazd | funny thing. I'm already in the autumn, and US is till in the summer :) |
| 01:18.43 | lcuk | what result would strlen return if the string never had a NULL terminator |
| 01:19.18 | javispedro | implementation defined? so it would launch a good game of emacs tetris like older gccs used to do ;) |
| 01:19.18 | ShadowJK | it runs through memory unitl it finds a NULL or until the program gets a segfault |
| 01:19.24 | lcuk | :D |
| 01:19.32 | lcuk | which is the flaw |
| 01:19.47 | lcuk | the memory is allocated as a 256byte array |
| 01:20.03 | lcuk | uninitialized the next nearest null could be anywhere |
| 01:20.29 | lcuk | files it as a bug for z4chh :) |
| 01:20.38 | ShadowJK | you're approaching it from the wrong angle |
| 01:20.43 | ShadowJK | oh, not your code? |
| 01:21.21 | sp3000 | well, think of it positively |
| 01:21.22 | lcuk | no, it just jumped out at me whilst i was looking |
| 01:21.33 | sp3000 | you run it enough times, eventually it'll be really close |
| 01:21.34 | lcuk | sp3000, positively its not happened yet |
| 01:21.53 | ShadowJK | if that code is supposed to ensure null termination, then it's incorrect |
| 01:22.01 | lcuk | its an obscure point not in the normal flow |
| 01:22.07 | lcuk | but a valuable lesson to teach :) |
| 01:22.20 | ShadowJK | but maybe it's supposed to cut away the last char |
| 01:22.23 | lcuk | ShadowJK, all c strings must be null terminated |
| 01:23.03 | ShadowJK | yes, but that doesn't mean stuff you pass to str* necessarily are proper c strings ;) |
| 01:23.26 | ShadowJK | I'd look at how the string is read in in the first place |
| 01:23.29 | javispedro | well. the current implementation of strlen does need proper C strings ;) |
| 01:23.45 | lcuk | how would strlen know otherwise |
| 01:23.51 | lcuk | it is pointed at a block of memory |
| 01:24.00 | lcuk | it doesnt know anything about its allocation limits |
| 01:24.05 | lcuk | or the stuff of the user |
| 01:24.13 | lcuk | it is asked to merely run until null |
| 01:24.45 | sp3000 | sounds like a good workout |
| 01:25.07 | lcuk | heh |
| 01:25.10 | ShadowJK | iirc there's a x86 opcode that does strlen ;p |
| 01:26.42 | javispedro | rep scas, but it maybe a bit old |
| 01:26.57 | javispedro | either way that requires null-terminated too (well, in fact, any-char terminated ;) ) |
| 01:27.37 | lcuk | javispedro, mm |
| 01:27.57 | lcuk | so you can send an x86 opcode scouting for spaces or something? |
| 01:28.47 | javispedro | that searches for a caracter |
| 01:28.55 | javispedro | so I guess yes |
| 01:28.57 | lcuk | cool |
| 01:31.08 | javispedro | there were even instructions for copying full strings, at least in the 16 bits days |
| 01:31.34 | javispedro | that's what you get with CISC :) |

| 05:31.42 | johnx | so that wasn't the one you could use as a PAM backend? |

| 05:32.40 | johnx | that's an interesting idea |
| 05:32.43 | Luke-Jr | normal file access will be via standard OS file dialogs, which are per default approved to open their files and return the FD |
| 05:32.55 | johnx | I was actually thinking about sandboxing on linux the other day, with unison and chroots |
| 05:33.14 | Luke-Jr | so johnx's binary can call a function written by luke, and THAT can access luke's files and return a FD to johnx's code |
| 05:33.36 | johnx | kind of developer focused, rather than user focused, huh? |

| 05:35.12 | johnx | ok |
| 05:35.26 | johnx | there was a limited implementation of COBOL in the wild for longer |
| 05:35.33 | Luke-Jr | johnx: if your "normal" everyday file manipulation is via open/save dialogs, the user will not just "get used to" clicking Approve on unexpected authorization requests |

| 05:36.42 | Luke-Jr | and focussing the security audit on those few functions with user trust |
| 05:36.59 | johnx | users will get used to *anything* given 3 repititions |
| 05:37.08 | *** join/#maemo Sho_ (n=EHS1@kde/hein) |
| 05:37.14 | Luke-Jr | johnx: the point is you wouldn't normally see the approval request, because all access would be via the few authorized functions |
| 05:37.24 | johnx | it's a neat idea |
| 05:37.48 | Luke-Jr | in fact, perhaps even auto-reject any requests unless they're a power user and enable it ;P |
| 05:37.54 | johnx | though it essentially breaks compatibility with any existing code, doesn't it? |
| 05:38.00 | Luke-Jr | johnx: probably |
| 05:38.06 | Luke-Jr | compatibility layers might be made |
| 05:38.31 | Luke-Jr | isolate the legacy apps to a directory of their own ;) |
| 05:38.35 | *** part/#maemo daniel32708 (n=daniel@201.198.25.158) |
| 05:38.42 | johnx | in exactly the way I was thinking :) |
| 05:39.12 | Luke-Jr | basically run unsigned bins with a SHA1 key or such |
| 05:39.21 | Luke-Jr | so they have their own user |
| 05:39.38 | johnx | eh |
| 05:39.53 | Luke-Jr | might even want to auto-generate hybrid multi-user combination users... |
| 05:40.18 | Luke-Jr | so if I run johnx's app, it can create a settings file owned by johnx+luke |
| 05:40.34 | Luke-Jr | which can only be used by johnx's apps run by luke |
| 05:40.39 | johnx | how about this: use unison to combine a read-only bind mount of the mounted filesystems with a r/w tmpfs, then chroot the app into that directory, and track what files are created and prompt the user to accept changes to any directory the program isn't "supposed" to be accessing |
| 05:41.48 | johnx | so my "legacy" config for firefox would say it should have access to "firefox-downloads/" and ".firefox/". If it tried to write somewhere else it would either prompt the user to allow or just get killed |
| 05:42.35 | Luke-Jr | johnx: that would have the whole developer-user mindset problem |
| 05:42.42 | Luke-Jr | and the "user gets used to clicking Approve" |
| 05:43.06 | johnx | so deny by default and crash the program |
| 05:43.48 | johnx | you'd have to get some developer buy-in even to make their code work in "legacy" mode anyways... |
| 05:43.54 | johnx | or carry a huge patch set |
| 05:44.02 | Luke-Jr | hmm |
| 05:44.02 | Luke-Jr | not necessarily |
| 05:44.21 | Luke-Jr | Qt might get by with simply authorizing its dialog funcs |
| 05:44.40 | Luke-Jr | the bigger change will be dropping X11 |
| 05:44.43 | RST38h | Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa..... http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/26a7/index.htm |
| 05:44.49 | Luke-Jr | that crap is so inefficient.. |
| 05:45.05 | johnx | yeah, assuming no one ever reads or writes except through a file open/save dialog |
| 05:45.45 | Luke-Jr | johnx: that and config files, which is covered by giving the app its own dir |
| 05:46.15 | Luke-Jr | so to go outside of its "chroot jail", it would need to use dialog |
| 05:48.10 | johnx | the neater thing would be to just forcibly trick them into writing into their own directory with a chroot |

| 05:49.09 | Luke-Jr | ⦠|
| 05:49.13 | Luke-Jr | I just said that? :þ |
| 05:50.37 | johnx | well, you were saying authorization to write outside their chroot, I thought you mean that a write to /home/luke/documents/my-doc.odt.sav would fail instead of succeeding after a redirect to /home/luke/.my-prog/home/luke/documents/my-doc.odt.sav |
| 05:51.43 | Luke-Jr | well, if you just transparently redirect, you have major usability issues |
| 05:51.57 | Luke-Jr | $HOME could be an app config dir |
| 05:52.04 | johnx | you have major usability issues either way |
| 05:52.10 | Luke-Jr | true |
| 05:52.21 | johnx | you get to pick how you break things :> |
| 05:52.34 | Luke-Jr | I'm not sure what app, if any, I'd really want to run legacy |
| 05:52.39 | johnx | in fact prompt the user: "Break things with Plan A or Plan B?" :D |
| 05:52.43 | Luke-Jr | almost every app for linux is bloated |
| 05:53.02 | johnx | yes, you could sit alone at a prompt with just the apps you write by yourself |
| 05:53.11 | Luke-Jr | yeah |
| 05:53.16 | Luke-Jr | I wish I had the time to do all this XD |
| 05:53.22 | Luke-Jr | I could make a fortune |
| 05:53.42 | johnx | that would imply convincing someone to pay money for breaking all their apps |
| 05:53.55 | Luke-Jr | johnx: if I wrote all the apps, I mean |
| 05:54.02 | Luke-Jr | and use a GPL-like license ;) |
| 05:54.36 | Luke-Jr | eg, at no cost if you share your code, but you can buy open-source-with-copyright license |
| 05:54.55 | Luke-Jr | in increments of 5 years of copyright enforcement |
| 05:54.55 | johnx | dual licensed is what you're looking for |
| 05:54.59 | Luke-Jr | wonders if that would be enforcable |
| 05:55.07 | Luke-Jr | johnx: no, I would under no conditions allow proprietary |
| 05:55.32 | Luke-Jr | I would sell 5 years of enforcing copyright on your code, while distributing code with your product that nobody was allowed to redistribute. |
| 05:55.54 | Luke-Jr | so after that 5 years, anyone who had bought your product was free to share it |

| 05:56.59 | Luke-Jr | and of course, since I don't license the platform to closed-source products, they would be unable to assert ANY copyright at all since they themselves are in violation of mine ;p |
| 05:57.30 | Luke-Jr | johnx: well, I'd sell a license for "lifetime" copyright enforcement, so effectively proprietary until the creator dies |
| 05:57.52 | johnx | I don't think you'd need to worry about proprietary software in the same way the GNU/Hurd guys don't |

| 12:20.53 | RST38bis | "any shape and material" is more like Stephenson |

| 12:23.24 | kirma | the benefit of slightly non-rectangular display that might occur on phone or such would be... very slight, though |

| 12:33.26 | SpeedEvil | RST38h: yes - however nothing says you have to fill the array. You can cut a TFT monitor in half diagonally - and the bit connected to the row and column electrodes will still work. Or arbitrarily distort it. (do not try this at home [unless you have a LCD fab in your home]) |

| 12:34.35 | kirma | square-ness of pixels becomes also less and less relevant with increase of GPU power and capabilities |
| 12:35.13 | kirma | at least if you ignore the fact that traditionally software is written with square pixel assumption :] |
| 12:35.35 | SpeedEvil | It's hard to fabricate non rectiliniar arrays though - comparatively |
| 12:36.08 | SpeedEvil | which is what I meant - but the screen overall dimensions don't have to be square or rectangular. |
| 12:36.24 | kirma | it could be interesting to have triangular/octagonal pattern, and potentially some other subpixel color scheme than RGB :) |
| 12:36.36 | lcuk | they exist |
| 12:36.37 | SpeedEvil | Though curved edges are going to be tricky. |
| 12:36.47 | lcuk | thats what cleartype on MS is meant to solve |
| 12:36.53 | SpeedEvil | The ideal would be a black and white display. |
| 12:37.01 | lcuk | GBR RGB triniton etc all have different layouts |
| 12:37.04 | SpeedEvil | With true 180Hz or so response. |
| 12:37.09 | lcuk | speedevil :) |
| 12:37.14 | lbt | or stick a cardboard mask over a bigger display... |
| 12:37.16 | SpeedEvil | And RGB backlights |
| 12:37.22 | SpeedEvil | RGBW backlights even |
| 12:37.43 | lcuk | i always wanted to have GGG instead of RGB |
| 12:37.50 | lcuk | we would be working on 2400*480 display |
| 12:38.18 | SpeedEvil | Current LCDs lose at least 5/6ths of the backlight due to colour filters and polarisation. |
| 12:38.33 | kirma | non-square pixels could work reasonably when resolutions rise to levels that N900 has, for instance |
| 12:38.58 | SpeedEvil | IMO - 100dpi as the default desktop resolution is insane. |

| 12:39.19 | SpeedEvil | 140-180dpi is closer to where you start getting diminishing returns. |
| 12:39.34 | kirma | N900 is like 260+ dpi |
| 12:39.46 | SpeedEvil | yeah - that's silly unless you have it right up to your face. |
| 12:39.53 | SpeedEvil | My other device is 285. |
| 12:39.55 | kirma | but of course, eye distance is much shorter |
| 12:40.14 | SpeedEvil | You can have an 80*25 xterm non-fullscreen on a 3.5" display :) |

| 13:52.11 | wazd | Khertan: I love how they refer to another blog that's not an author :) |
| 13:52.50 | jrocha | lizardo, e.g. why are the hildon sizes like gtk.HILDON_SIZE_AUTO_HEIGHT instead of hildon.SIZE_AUTO_HEIGHT |
| 13:53.13 | *** join/#maemo danilocesar (n=danilo@200.184.118.130) |
| 13:54.58 | lizardo | jrocha: this is mostly because in C, HILDON_SIZE_AUTO_HEIGHT is defined in gtkenums.h AFAIK , so the binding generator clones the behaviour |
| 13:55.26 | *** join/#maemo promulo1 (n=romulo@189.71.107.176) |

| 14:29.26 | Khertan_ | :) |
| 14:29.27 | ccooke | wonders how many people here plan to pre-order the n900 |
| 14:29.28 | javispedro | GVM was made by Access. |
| 14:29.35 | Khertan_ | which was bought by Access |
| 14:29.48 | javispedro | nope, they're totally independent. |
| 14:30.09 | javispedro | the only thing Palm and Access have in common is that they both share a license to the PalmOS5 source code. |
| 14:30.43 | Khertan_ | are you sure ? it s seems that the dev for Garnet VM was started by Palm Softwares ... |
| 14:30.54 | javispedro | Palm Software is PalmSource, which is Access. |
| 14:31.10 | Khertan_ | javispedro: Access didn't share a licence ... they have the system right |
| 14:31.22 | javispedro | yes, Access owns it. |
| 14:31.23 | Khertan_ | javispedro: true ... PalmSoftware is PalmSource which is Access |
| 14:31.53 | javispedro | (I'm sure external viewers are now laughing at how a good OS can be literally ripped off and divided in a few companies) |
| 14:32.12 | qwerty12_N810 | Either way, I'm not fussed. I hardly used GVM on my tablets and StyleTap was hardly ever used on my Pocket PC either. |

| 14:50.43 | Sallen | Is it possible to use the sd in the same manner you use different disk partitions for /boot or /usr in "regular" linux? |
| 14:50.53 | jeremiah | But most of the people I know with Freerunners just use them as paperweights, bucause they are bricks. |

| 14:54.31 | VDVsx | hihihihi "So yeah, Nokia N900 is an impressive device. It rocks as a device, but it sinks like a rock in terms of userâs software freedom!" |
| 14:54.53 | SpeedEvil | jeremiah: but they were focussed on making it pretty - and jumped UI ships abandoning large chunks of code several times. It was mostly functional as a phone in 2007. It's only really gotten back to that state early this year - with several critical hardware bugs resolved. |
| 14:54.58 | jeremiah | I think a totally free phone is harder than people think. |
| 14:55.08 | VDVsx | me too |
| 14:55.12 | SpeedEvil | jeremiah: plus - it's still shipping - and you can have schematics. |

| 14:55.15 | lardman | VDVsx: where did that pearl come from? |
| 14:55.18 | Sallen | RST38h: What about the internal memory card (2Gb). What is it used for? |
| 14:55.27 | VDVsx | lardman, http://blog.1407.org/2009/09/01/nokias-free-software-bullshit-and-insults-in-maemo/ |
| 14:55.44 | jeremiah | SpeedEvil: Open schematics are the bomb. |
| 14:55.46 | javispedro | Sallen, FAT32 partition. But you can repartition to ext3 and boot from it. |
| 14:55.58 | javispedro | *ext2. |
| 14:56.01 | jeremiah | SpeedEvil: Maybe that is where the Qi Note is getting its' mojo |
| 14:56.38 | SpeedEvil | jeremiah: In some ways. In others they are irrelevant. You can't go schematic->hardware without several iterations of a PCB costing >$500 each typically. |
| 14:56.55 | SpeedEvil | jeremiah: and economies of scale don't really start to kick in until >>1K |
| 14:57.03 | jeremiah | interesting. |
| 14:57.08 | Sallen | javispedro: OK, so the system is installed in the internal 256MB disk? The internal 2GB disk has 1.6GB occupied. |
| 14:57.12 | SpeedEvil | jeremiah: as actual hardware documentation - they are awesome. |
| 14:57.19 | javispedro | Sallen, Maps. |
| 14:57.27 | Sallen | facepalm |
| 14:57.29 | jeremiah | SpeedEvil: how hard would it be to build a phone from parts? |
| 14:57.43 | jeremiah | So you think it can be done with COTS? |
| 14:57.44 | javispedro | either you move them to the external sd before partition, or you install OS to the external sd instead. |
| 14:57.44 | SpeedEvil | jeremiah: Define parts. Do you mean modules like gumstick - ... |
| 14:58.02 | jeremiah | SpeedEvil: Yeah, I mean an ugly phone that works. |
| 14:58.24 | SpeedEvil | jeremiah: If so - it's not _that_ hard - you end up at - when I last added it up - $800 to get something broadly similar to freerunner specs at twice the weight and volume. |
| 14:58.30 | Sallen | javispedro: Can't I just obliterate them? |
| 14:58.45 | javispedro | Sallen, of course, backup them just in case you ever change opinion. |
| 14:59.01 | Sallen | javispedro: Fine, thanks! |
| 14:59.01 | jeremiah | cool |
| 14:59.31 | SpeedEvil | jeremiah: Making it from components that you put on a custom PCB brings a whole new level of pain - many phone vendors simply won't sell you components in under 100K - so you're restricted to end-of-life stuff and the secondary market for some stuff. |
| 15:00.00 | RST38h | Sallen: You can delete everything (usually Maps data) off the internal 2GB card and boot from it |
| 15:00.01 | SpeedEvil | jeremiah: The benefit is that you can shrink the volume lots - but each revision will take maybe $1K - and you need over 10 probably unless you're lucky. |
| 15:00.08 | RST38h | Sallen: Although there are also consequences |
| 15:00.14 | jeremiah | Do you think the remnants of OpenMoko can overcome those hurdles? |
| 15:00.25 | lcuk | rockets go to the moon on ancient equipment that the secondary market has given up as crap |
| 15:00.25 | RST38h | jeremiah: No. |
| 15:00.29 | julianoliver | agreed |
| 15:00.30 | lcuk | well, not the moon |
| 15:00.33 | lcuk | but you get the idea |
| 15:00.38 | Sallen | RST38h please, proceed |
| 15:00.40 | jeremiah | It looks unlikely. |
| 15:01.03 | jeremiah | lcuk: Yeah, but would you want to ride in one? |
| 15:01.12 | lcuk | hell yeah! |
| 15:01.21 | SpeedEvil | jeremiah: It's not impossible. There are some ways round it - trade some volume for ultimate achievable price and availability - for example - you don't build your modem onto the PCB - you buy a module for maybe 5* the price of the parts. |
| 15:01.23 | lcuk | intergalactic graffiti for me |
| 15:01.26 | jeremiah | lcuk is now known as fireball |
| 15:01.29 | lcuk | rocket trails around the sky etc |
| 15:01.47 | lcuk | is a quanta |
| 15:01.58 | RST38h | Sallen: Well, you lose your maps data, you increase the chance of semi-bricking the device, and the next system update from Nokia (if it ever comes) will probably fail |
| 15:02.02 | jeremiah | SpeedEvil: But things like ofono would sorta make that route worthless |
| 15:02.03 | VDVsx | obligates lcuk to use a OM phone for a entire month |
| 15:02.17 | jeremiah | I mean if I had a computer with ofono I can plug in a dongle and away I go |

| 15:02.35 | julianoliver | SpeedEvil: but who would actually buy the device, even at a low price? it still needs to be marketed. |

| 15:03.19 | RST38h | jeremiah: You start a business to make money. What was OpenMoko folks' reason to start this crap? |
| 15:03.32 | Khertan_ | if i can do it with many beers ... and a n810 every one can do it with an n900 |
| 15:03.32 | RST38h | jeremiah: Because they certainly weren't going to make money from it |
| 15:03.35 | julianoliver | secondly OpenMoko needs an application ecology around it for it to be vaguely appealing for customers. |
| 15:03.39 | jeremiah | well, I think you can make money from a completely open phone |
| 15:03.49 | jeremiah | julianoliver: Yup |
| 15:03.49 | SpeedEvil | RST38h: It _could_ have taken off - if they diddn't drop the ball in a pile of shit and start digging it out with a teaspoon. |
| 15:04.04 | SpeedEvil | RST38h: (where taken off is sales of a few 10s of K's) |
| 15:04.05 | lardman | they spent too much time changing the ui and not enough getting it working |
| 15:04.06 | VDVsx | RST38h, yeah, but some technical problems arise |
| 15:04.09 | lardman | and it was too large |
| 15:04.12 | lcuk | theres a tewaspoon on the freerunner? |
| 15:04.13 | RST38h | jeremiah; You can make money form a phone, if people (not just geeks) buy it in huge numbers and if it costs THEM way more than it costs YOU to make |
| 15:04.13 | jeremiah | I mean Nokia is almost there, so why couldn't OpenMoki have done it? |
| 15:04.20 | Sallen | RST38h I see |
| 15:04.29 | jeremiah | RST38h: Yeah, that is the model I think they could have had |
| 15:04.31 | RST38h | VDVsx: The "technical" problem is finding the right Chinese and motivating them properly |
| 15:04.33 | SpeedEvil | jeremiah: Nokia had perhaps a thousand times the dev budget. |
| 15:04.42 | julianoliver | lardman: I think they took a "build it and they will come" approach, which works only in the total absense of competitors. |
| 15:04.42 | jeremiah | SpeedEvil: No doubt. |
| 15:04.47 | SpeedEvil | jeremiah: And they are nokia. |
| 15:05.03 | SpeedEvil | jeremiah: Nokia goes to a component supplier - and they piss themselves with eagerness. |
| 15:05.03 | RST38h | jeremiah: Well, if that is the model, then they tried implementing it totally wrong |
| 15:05.07 | Khertan_ | x-fade ... yes google track me ... look at khertan + some other word in google image search is really funny |
| 15:05.07 | jeremiah | But being Nokia, I think they have made something pretty amazing and pretty open |
| 15:05.27 | jeremiah | But I guess that is why we are all here. |
| 15:05.28 | VDVsx | agreed |
| 15:05.28 | javispedro | wonders if Nokia making the first three NIT models non-phones was part of the masterplan. |
| 15:05.30 | jeremiah | :] |
| 15:05.35 | SpeedEvil | jeremiah: A random company goes to a component supplier with promises to buy 5K components - and they get told to go away. |
| 15:05.39 | Myrtti | javispedro: it was |
| 15:05.43 | RST38h | jeremiah: You implement it by going to Taiwan, finding the cheap phone manufacturer you like |
| 15:05.46 | julianoliver | the N900 has captured imagination of more than just the handheld geek crowd also. |
| 15:05.50 | RST38h | jeremiah: Moses will do nicely, afaik |
| 15:05.53 | Khertan_ | javispedro: i'm sure that it was the master plan |
| 15:05.56 | jeremiah | SpeedEvil: Well, of course, but the cost of parts has dropped substantially. |
| 15:06.11 | SpeedEvil | jeremiah: Irrelevant. |
| 15:06.13 | Khertan_ | javispedro: and moore have said : " and they have a plan " |
| 15:06.17 | RST38h | jeremiah: You sit down with them and come up with a design for a feature phone that will be cheap and universally likeable |
| 15:06.26 | SpeedEvil | jeremiah: You cannot buy many cellphone parts in quantities of under 100K or so. |
| 15:06.44 | Khertan_ | " and they have a plan " Copyright BattleStar Galactica :) |
| 15:06.45 | jeremiah | SpeedEvil: Really? That seems unlikely somehow |
| 15:06.51 | RST38h | jeremiah: You pay them for the first batch of phones and control the quality of manufacturing really closely. This is very exhausting by the way. |
| 15:06.52 | jeremiah | But I have never tried. :P |
| 15:07.09 | jeremiah | RST38h: I am exhausted just thinking about it. =] |
| 15:07.23 | RST38h | jeremiah: For the software, you hire a bunch of East Europeans, sit down with them, fifure out what you want, then control the process very closely |
| 15:07.32 | RST38h | jeremiah: Scream at them, etc |
| 15:07.41 | Khertan_ | RST38h: and see that nothing is working |
| 15:07.51 | javispedro | the "figure out what you want" being the hardest part. |
| 15:07.51 | SpeedEvil | jeremiah: Unfortunately, it's not. They spend the same effort supporting Nokia or Apple - who buy 10M chips - as teenyvendor - that buys 5K. One makes them 50K - the other 100M. The support cost is 20K say. It's not hard to see why they won't. |
| 15:07.51 | julianoliver | bah. cliches |
| 15:07.54 | jeremiah | RST38h: The software bit is just debian |
| 15:07.54 | RST38h | Khertan: Oh, it will work. Unless you are an OpenMoko guy |
| 15:08.04 | RST38h | jeremiah: "just debian" won't make phone calls |
| 15:08.13 | jeremiah | RST38h: Nonsense |
| 15:08.22 | jeremiah | I've seen it done on the OpenMoko |
| 15:08.24 | RST38h | jeremiah: you need a suite of basic apps, and they should be usable and likeable |
| 15:08.32 | jeremiah | likeable? |
| 15:08.38 | RST38h | jeremiah: Returning to my original question: Has anyone used OpenMoko to call people? :) |
| 15:08.39 | jeremiah | I like the command line |
| 15:08.49 | RST38h | jeremiah: Likeable by normal people, not you |
| 15:08.49 | jeremiah | Of course. |
| 15:09.03 | SpeedEvil | RST38h: Yes - there are several devs using it as a primary phone |
| 15:09.22 | SpeedEvil | And no - it's not a user ready device or close to. |
| 15:09.31 | RST38h | jeremiah: You and other geeks are only considered 3-4 months before release, when you command 2-3 of those Russians, Ukrainans, Poles, Hungarians, etc to come up with SDK and developer docs |

| 15:11.17 | wazd | RST38h: ootb :) |
| 15:11.30 | RST38h | wazd: because it is a hardware setting on the display controller :) |

| 15:32.10 | RST38h | Because relying on Opera is kinda shaky |
| 15:32.20 | javispedro | relying on Google is not? ;) |
| 15:32.22 | RST38h | javis: there are a few other alternatives |
| 15:32.34 | RST38h | javis: Google is not inside my browser, so it is ok |
| 15:32.44 | zeev | can N900 recognize letters being written on its touchscreen and transform it to text on fly? |
| 15:32.49 | javispedro | it will be soon RST38h ;) |
| 15:33.07 | RST38h | javis: Well, it tried to get there but I killed it in cold blood |
| 15:33.15 | RST38h | javis: Took some registry editing too |
| 15:33.31 | Luke-Jr | Sallen: if you *really* brick your N810, there is no going back |
| 15:33.47 | Luke-Jr | Sallen: but AFAIK nobody has ever actually done it |
| 15:33.47 | javispedro | i like opera10 tab bar, its height can be configured until it shows only 100px of each web page thumbnail's header. |
| 15:33.52 | SpeedEvil | The above idea was basically for devices with _slow_ net and ruinously expensive connections - but without reducing the page in any way other than loading images at lower res. |
| 15:34.27 | javispedro | most of the time, just pngcrushing pngs and recompressing jpegs with a sane (aka non-adobe) compressor already helps., |
| 15:34.29 | Sallen | Luke-Jr, that's what "brick" stands for ^^ |

| 15:35.02 | RST38h | qwerty: BTW, any progress on that Quasar thing getting into Extras? Or you are not tracking it? |
| 15:35.09 | SpeedEvil | javispedro: indeed - I was assuming something like that - and progressive jpegs where a click gets anotehr slice of the image. |

| 15:35.31 | Luke-Jr | Sallen: usually N810 "bricking" doesn't involve destroying the NOLO bootloader ;) |
| 15:35.44 | coldboot | My device says the memory card is unformatted or corrupted, but it won't mount when plugged in to a Windows system, and I can't disable extended virtual memory, because it says there is no internal card. |
| 15:35.44 | RST38h | qwerty: Ok =) |

| 15:36.01 | RST38h | qwerty: You are the mighty packager though, so it may have something to do with you ;) |
| 15:36.12 | Luke-Jr | SpeedEvil: that involves disassembly ;) |
| 15:36.15 | javispedro | lol, opera10 breaks tmo |
| 15:36.46 | Sallen | Luke-Jr, I'm trying to follow the wiki instructions to install the system in the internal 2GB card, but I can't install e2fsprogs, even after adding the devel-extras repository. It complains about unmet dependencies. |
| 15:37.30 | Luke-Jr | Sallen: oh well, N810 hasn't actually been supported by Maemo for a while so who knows |
| 15:37.52 | javispedro | Sallen, which deps? |
| 15:38.06 | fiferboy_ | coldboot: Your internal memory? |
| 15:38.32 | SpeedEvil | Can anyone supply me with straces of the GPS in the n900 getting a lock and tracking for a few hours? To look at decoding the GPS protocol as a first step to seeing if reverse engineering the blob looks plausible? |
| 15:38.40 | paperclip1 | If I wanted to start French localization, should I be working from the Mer-l10n repo on Gitorious? Also, who should I contact about getting the relevant tasks added to the backlog? |
| 15:38.48 | Luke-Jr | SpeedEvil: is it confirmed N900 GPS is a blob? |

| 15:39.09 | SpeedEvil | Luke-Jr: I personally - from what I've heard of it - am convinced. |
| 15:39.21 | Luke-Jr | SpeedEvil: giving up on N810? |
| 15:39.30 | SpeedEvil | Luke-Jr: CPU usage is right - FPU usage is right - ... |
| 15:39.32 | SpeedEvil | Luke-Jr: ? |
| 15:39.34 | fiferboy_ | coldboot: That is internal. Can you see the internal memory in the file manager? |
| 15:39.35 | javispedro | SpeedEvil, that was for N810 |
| 15:39.40 | Luke-Jr | SpeedEvil: "right" for what? |
| 15:39.47 | javispedro | I don't even know if N900 uses the same TI gps. |
| 15:39.57 | Luke-Jr | javispedro: pretty sure it doesn't |
| 15:40.04 | SpeedEvil | javispedro: Oh - I thought the discussion a few nights ago was the n900 |
| 15:40.06 | SpeedEvil | oops |
| 15:40.24 | Luke-Jr | SpeedEvil: this might be it http://luke.dashjr.org/tmp/dbg/gpsdriver.dump.bz2 |
| 15:40.30 | javispedro | SpeedEvil, it is the n810 the one with the ugly nearly nonfuncctional gpsdriver. |
| 15:40.37 | javispedro | hopefully, nokia has done something to fix it. |
| 15:40.41 | javispedro | in the n900. |
| 15:40.42 | SpeedEvil | Luke-Jr: is that the n900 - or the n810? |
| 15:40.47 | Luke-Jr | SpeedEvil: N810 |
| 15:40.57 | Luke-Jr | SpeedEvil: N900 is not even shipping yet AFAIK |
| 15:41.11 | timeless_mbp | Luke-Jr: sounds about right |

| 15:42.09 | timeless_mbp | Luke-Jr: did you read the ms w7 rc terms and conditions? |
| 15:42.11 | Luke-Jr | strace output would be like photos |
| 15:42.14 | timeless_mbp | it included not posting benchmarks |
| 15:42.18 | coldboot | fiferboy: Apparently it's mmcblk0p1... |
| 15:42.23 | SpeedEvil | Actually - the blob CPU usage would be key. |
| 15:42.45 | timeless_mbp | Luke-Jr: historically, posting photos has been banned until a certain point |
| 15:42.53 | timeless_mbp | what that certain point is, i'm not always certain, but it has been banned |
| 15:43.00 | SpeedEvil | Though I suppose that could be considered a bench. |
| 15:43.06 | Luke-Jr | SpeedEvil: ~0.7% with no lock |
| 15:43.07 | fiferboy__ | coldboot: There is a tool in the file manager to format corrupt cards |
| 15:43.08 | javispedro | Sallen e2fslibs is built from the same source package as e2fsprogs, so I don't know what are you doing for it to complain. |

| 15:43.18 | SpeedEvil | Luke-Jr: I mean of the 900 - to see if it was. |
| 15:43.27 | timeless_mbp | fiferboy: you mean the file manager? :) |

| 15:44.26 | timeless_mbp | i don't know if i could mention, but i really don't care |

| 17:20.41 | SpeedEvil | AStorm: I mean with carrier subsidy. If any will. |
| 17:20.54 | AStorm | maybe, I wouldn't count on that |

| 19:08.31 | lcuk | jaska, when i saw the n810 i knew i had to have one. no matter what. this 900 has brought back the love affair |
| 19:08.37 | lcuk | but my 810 will get jealous |
| 19:09.17 | lcuk | thankfully there are a load of great apps for 810 currently and liqbase will remain fully compatible |
| 19:09.19 | AStorm | really |
| 19:09.24 | AStorm | I'd buy it just for the camera |
| 19:09.42 | lcuk | yeah its a major factor :$ |
| 19:09.47 | lcuk | has wanted a real camera for so long |
| 19:09.58 | julianoliver | i'm more curious as to the video performance overall. |
| 19:09.58 | AStorm | but no, they had to add the better cpu, more ram, more flash... |
| 19:10.03 | AStorm | pity the screen is smaller |
| 19:10.13 | AStorm | julianoliver: likely better than n810 given the stronger cpu |
| 19:10.17 | lcuk | AStorm, the 810 really couldnt have kept up |

| 19:10.37 | julianoliver | the N900 finds a sweet spot for AR |
| 19:10.39 | jaska | kirma: yeah |
| 19:10.51 | lcuk | julianoliver, why video then for AR stuff? |
| 19:10.52 | AStorm | lcuk: no, I mean, smaller as in size, the res is the same |
| 19:10.57 | lcuk | or are they 2 different lines |
| 19:11.03 | kirma | verkkokauppa.com can't really enforce an order whose price they can't tell |
| 19:11.12 | jaska | yeah i know |
| 19:11.13 | julianoliver | lcuk: the video is used as the basis for the track. the augmentation is an overlay. |
| 19:11.23 | jaska | but i dont want to order something i dont know when and how much for :) |
| 19:11.27 | kirma | so, I put myself in the preorder queue like the day it appeared there |
| 19:11.28 | lcuk | ahhh yeah |
| 19:11.31 | jaska | patience is not in my vocabulary |
| 19:11.31 | lcuk | ive seen the effect |
| 19:12.14 | lcuk | they said the screen was more touchable than ever - when i was playing in cph it was soooo responsive :$ |
| 19:12.30 | lcuk | i walked away with poor 810 prodding it and poking it |
| 19:12.42 | kirma | if I get it faster somewhere else with reasonable price... well, I'm certainly going to cancel verkkokauppa.com order. I've carried thousands of euros of own money to that shop already this year... |
| 19:12.45 | julianoliver | plenty of people seem disappointed about it not being a capacitive screen.. |
| 19:12.57 | lcuk | why is that |
| 19:13.10 | jaska | i would be disappointed if it was |
| 19:13.14 | lcuk | capacitive isnt the answer to everything |
| 19:13.15 | julianoliver | less responsive apparently, and also poorer in sunlight. |
| 19:13.20 | jaska | capacitive = cant use nail or stylus |
| 19:13.29 | lcuk | capacitive == cant draw |
| 19:13.30 | julianoliver | admittedly i like to use a pen from time to time so capacitive doesn't suit so well |

| 19:35.36 | javispedro | the N900 one I mean. I've read something about /opt that is already worrying me. |
| 19:35.40 | ShadowJK | AStorm, I meant you get a real Nokia of same spec for same or less |
| 19:35.48 | GeneralAntilles | javispedro, 256MB UBIFS on NAND, 32GB eMMC is split into 768MB swap, some value of FAT32 and some value of ext3 (1GB is one number I've heard). |
| 19:35.50 | timeless_mbp | julianoliver: if people don't pay for the hardware, then no one will be able to pay the engineers who work on the open source |
| 19:35.50 | julianoliver | timeless_mbp: in fact working with an on opensource projects has been a staple part of my income for 10 years or so. |
| 19:35.54 | konttori | javispedro: what's worrying you? |
| 19:35.59 | konttori | (about opt) |
| 19:36.04 | GeneralAntilles | javispedro, that 1GB is apparently mounted on /opt. |
| 19:36.11 | javispedro | ah... |
| 19:36.13 | GeneralAntilles | The FAT32 may be on /home |
| 19:36.16 | julianoliver | timeless_mbp: but they are paying for the hardware.. it's just a clone, probably made by the same people that manufacture the 'original'. |
| 19:36.17 | timeless_mbp | no |
| 19:36.23 | timeless_mbp | FAT32 = /home/user/MyDocs |

| 19:38.07 | timeless_mbp | that's the "share" bit |
| 19:38.08 | RST38h | ShadowJK: 100% agree |
| 19:38.13 | ShadowJK | (or equivalent from any other vendor) |
| 19:38.13 | qwerty12_N810 | konttori: Ah, thanks anyway |
| 19:38.18 | konttori | the theme example does contain it though |
| 19:38.44 | qwerty12_N810 | konttori: Ah, brilliant, thanks, I'll check it out :) |
| 19:38.45 | timeless_mbp | it's closer to 1.8gb according to df here fwiw |
| 19:38.49 | javispedro | 256MiB rootfs is a bit on the low side though. Even simpler aplications will now have to install to /opt. |
| 19:38.50 | timeless_mbp | not sure where *that* number came from :) |
| 19:39.14 | timeless_mbp | anyway, we're hunting dinner |
| 19:39.20 | Stskeeps | javispedro: could be worse solution really |
| 19:39.23 | javispedro | envisions /usr/lib full of symlinks |
| 19:39.31 | Stskeeps | no need |
| 19:39.40 | javispedro | LD_LIBRARY_PATH or ld.conf? |
| 19:39.42 | Stskeeps | just add to ld.so.conf or whatever |
| 19:39.48 | javispedro | then $PATH |
| 19:39.49 | konttori | qwerty12_N810: but only in the source zip file |
| 19:39.55 | konttori | not in the template itself |
| 19:39.55 | Stskeeps | path is easy |
| 19:39.59 | javispedro | but either we agree on that, or hope that the base system contains the link |
| 19:40.02 | konttori | (so, in the to-do list for me) |
| 19:40.09 | timeless_mbp | javispedro: i was trying to make that |
| 19:40.16 | javispedro | I personally hope we can agree on /opt/lib for LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and /opt/bin for $PATH |
| 19:40.19 | timeless_mbp | i didn't manage to focus long enough not to brick a device |
| 19:40.33 | javispedro | /opt/usr/bin is too long ;) |
| 19:40.40 | timeless_mbp | heh |
| 19:40.43 | Stskeeps | javispedro: no need to involve ld_library path afaik |
| 19:40.47 | timeless_mbp | more interesting problems are /etc |
| 19:40.56 | javispedro | hum, true. |
| 19:40.57 | kirma | is OMAP3530 exact equivalent of OMAP3420? |
| 19:41.10 | RST38h | no, hence different number |
| 19:41.10 | timeless_mbp | obviously not |
| 19:41.21 | timeless_mbp | RST38h++ |
| 19:41.24 | javispedro | if we can get most packages to install into /opt we may even get the ideal "NAND is only base-system, eMMC is addons". |
| 19:41.30 | Stskeeps | if you use autoconf and a sane setup, this shnouldnt break anythinh |
| 19:41.47 | timeless_mbp | javispedro: someday we'd like to see unionfs |
| 19:41.50 | AStorm | blah blah |
| 19:41.51 | timeless_mbp | maybe mer can work on that |
| 19:41.52 | derf | It's 110 OMAPs better, of course. |
| 19:42.00 | kirma | well, one is available through "handset channel" (for manufacturers) and other through "catalog channel" (smaller quantities...) |
| 19:42.06 | AStorm | unionfs is trivial |
| 19:42.16 | AStorm | what's not trivial is immc performance |
| 19:42.33 | javispedro | well, on N810 they're mostly on par. |
| 19:42.33 | Stskeeps | javispedro: my worry is that app manager doesn't accept a package can use external space even though nand is full |
| 19:42.46 | RST38h | kirma: the wiki page you are looking at does not list all the chip specifics |
| 19:42.48 | javispedro | Stskeeps, does it check that? |
| 19:42.49 | Stskeeps | so it should first warn when things have gone full |
| 19:42.56 | Stskeeps | javispedro: not sure |
| 19:43.05 | javispedro | bare Sarge dpkg does not |
| 19:43.13 | javispedro | I remember fscking my vmware because of that |
| 19:43.13 | kirma | RST38h: well, the fun part is that I'd want to hunt the technical reference manual for this 3420 |
| 19:43.25 | AStorm | oooh, raid0 on flash and immc ;) |
| 19:43.26 | Stskeeps | a internal/external mb indicator on app man would be nice |
| 19:43.35 | kirma | but it seems that I find quickly only 35xx series from TI |
| 19:43.38 | javispedro | yeah, ideally, just hide the whole concept of the NAND space |
| 19:43.41 | RST38h | kirma: you want the comparison or just the datasheet on 3420? |
| 19:43.54 | Stskeeps | so 0mb/60m |
| 19:43.54 | javispedro | and let the 1 GiB be "space for applications". |
| 19:44.09 | julianoliver | kirma: yes i noticed that the 34* manuals are harder to find now. |
| 19:44.17 | javispedro | then make Maemian or the maemo.org/packages reject those who install more than 1% of the space to / instead of /opt |
| 19:44.20 | RST38h | kirma: The differences seem to be in the peripheral devices |
| 19:44.24 | kirma | well, I'm pretty flexible, but if some things differ, I'd like to see detailed explanation... |

| 19:48.09 | AStorm | performance reason |
| 19:48.10 | kirma | rst38h: yep, that I found. I'm mostly intrigued how they implemented the Cortex-A8 core, since the implementation isn't really "fixed", but the licensor can considerably affect it |
| 19:48.17 | lcuk | Stskeeps, thats the point! |
| 19:48.33 | kirma | for instance, what are instruction throughputs and latencies |
| 19:48.35 | lcuk | i got the impression /opt was for data |
| 19:48.40 | AStorm | kirma: I think they haven't altered the original design |

| 19:48.49 | RST38h | kirma: these seem to be documented at the arm site, so they should be fixed |
| 19:48.50 | AStorm | lcuk: nopes, for large separate application packages |
| 19:49.05 | AStorm | /usr/share is for data |
| 19:49.11 | kirma | I wonder what's the "tunable" part if all that is fixed :) |
| 19:49.17 | thp | http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#OPTADDONAPPLICATIONSOFTWAREPACKAGES |
| 19:49.30 | AStorm | kirma: it means they can add things |
| 19:49.40 | thp | says "A package to be installed in /opt must locate its static files in a separate /opt/<package> or /opt/<provider> directory tree, where <package> is a name that describes the software package and <provider> is the provider's LANANA registered name." |
| 19:49.53 | Stskeeps | thp: and that's where things get insane |
| 19:50.02 | lcuk | if the share folder was just relocated tho, wont that cure the problem without changing/testing apps |

| 19:54.36 | GeneralAntilles | kirma, just, FYI, the OMAP3430 is what's in the N900. |
| 19:54.51 | argonel | slonopotamus: oh. it looks more like the point of locking is to make me hate the device, since i misclicked on the menu. |
| 19:55.00 | GeneralAntilles | and the only real difference between OMAP35x stuff and OMAP34x is ball-pitch, a couple of missing proprietary features and distribution channel. |
| 19:55.12 | AStorm | argonel: the default code is 0000 I think |
| 19:55.22 | Stskeeps | because this is going haywire if people start --prefix=/opt, and we find out it's --prefix=/opt/appname |
| 19:55.25 | kirma | generalantilles: that I knew thankfully :) |
| 19:55.45 | argonel | AStorm: the default is 12345, but i must have played it with the day i set i up |
| 19:55.52 | lcuk | Stskeeps, yeah |
| 19:55.55 | kirma | I mean that it's 3420 |
| 19:56.00 | Stskeeps | did i mention the sedding of .install files we need to do? |
| 19:56.10 | ShadowJK | Stskeeps, and even after /opt has exploded into a mess people will be flaming eachother about which version is correct |

| 19:56.20 | AStorm | argonel: well, not sure if you can drop this lock with the flasher |
| 19:56.22 | slonopotamus | argonel, is it still locked after reboot? |
| 19:56.24 | AStorm | worth a try |
| 19:56.29 | qwerty12_N810 | Stskeeps: Why would you sed them? |
| 19:56.32 | Stskeeps | not to think about what happens to /opt at reflash |
| 19:56.34 | slonopotamus | oh! |
| 19:56.38 | argonel | slonopotamus: yes, boots to "enter lock code" |
| 19:56.45 | Stskeeps | qwerty12_N810: /usr/share/foo/bar..? |
| 19:57.04 | argonel | AStorm: apparently the flasher doesn't drop the lock code, but it does unlock it. but then flashing it erases the internal memory |
| 19:57.05 | qwerty12_N810 | .install files just point to a repo and a package |
| 19:57.10 | qwerty12_N810 | +name |
| 19:57.20 | thp | argonel: if you install Mer, it does not ask for the lock code (last time I checked, atleast) |

| 19:57.43 | AStorm | argonel: might want to try dropbear ssh for file recovery |
| 19:57.45 | argonel | someone wrote "There _is_ a way you would have been able to back up all your files, but it involves some familiarity with Linux. Search for fanoush's custom initfs with telnet in these forums." - but i'm not finding anything that doesn't need to be set up beforehand |
| 19:57.49 | AStorm | (and that USB cable) |
| 19:57.54 | qwerty12_N810 | Stskeeps: Ah, thought you meant the Maemo variant. Not dh_install ones. |
| 19:58.14 | AStorm | argonel: it's possible to set up using the flasher |
| 19:58.15 | Stskeeps | qwerty12_N810: sorry, bit tired :) |
| 19:58.17 | AStorm | just flash the initfs |
| 19:58.43 | AStorm | (not the whole flash filesystem) |
| 19:59.10 | argonel | so i could rewrite the inifs, but not just erase the lock code? cute :) |
| 19:59.11 | thp | i meant if you dual-boot with mer, the lock code that is set isn't asked when booting into mer |
| 19:59.30 | AStorm | argonel: yeah, the lock code is kept somewhere in a weird place |

| 21:06.32 | timeless_mbp | GeneralAntilles: where's that question from? |
| 21:06.38 | GeneralAntilles | timeless_mbp, I'm frequently disturbed by how wrong Ari gets things sometimes. |
| 21:06.43 | GeneralAntilles | http://wiki.maemo.org/NokiaWorld_2009_QA |
| 21:08.06 | Andy80 | wants to add "Does it make coffee?" to QA list :) |
| 21:08.31 | javispedro | ponders wheter to add "output of cat /proc/mounts" to the list, but then remembers he probably has a prototype device without the final configuration. |
| 21:09.22 | Andy80 | javispedro: well... is quite different the prototype from the final one, I hope you can distinguish :D |
| 21:09.41 | javispedro | sw prototype, I think he'll have final hw already. |
| 21:10.03 | VDVsx | GeneralAntilles most s60's have hot-pluggable memory cards, what's the problem ? |
| 21:10.11 | Andy80 | he = ? |
| 21:10.20 | Dieterbe | laway weg |
| 21:10.24 | Dieterbe | oops sorry |
| 21:10.42 | javispedro | Andy80, whoever ends up answering the questions :) |
| 21:10.42 | Andy80 | javispedro: ah sw of course... no one said it's ready :P |
| 21:12.16 | GeneralAntilles | VDVsx, exactly, I don't know why that's a question. |
| 21:12.19 | GeneralAntilles | I mean . . . duh. |
| 21:12.28 | VDVsx | GeneralAntilles, ah ok, lol |
| 21:12.45 | timeless_mbp | yeah |
| 21:12.49 | timeless_mbp | it's a stupid question |
| 21:12.57 | timeless_mbp | of course you can remove the mmc |
| 21:13.05 | timeless_mbp | however you shouldn't do it while it's in use <DUH> |

| 21:13.55 | VDVsx | timeless_mbp, just did it in an s60 :P |
| 21:14.17 | timeless_mbp | GeneralAntilles: yes ctrl-backspace will let you do some stuff |
| 21:14.27 | timeless_mbp | personally i use the hardware task switching button: |
| 21:14.38 | timeless_mbp | 1. open the camera lens. 2. press the camera button |
| 21:14.45 | timeless_mbp | 3. close the camera app |
| 21:14.49 | VDVsx | lol |
| 21:14.57 | timeless_mbp | seriously |
| 21:15.07 | timeless_mbp | the ui team told me to :) |
| 21:15.32 | timeless_mbp | afaik there's no key to reach a menu from a full screen app |
| 21:15.40 | qwerty12_N810 | Why does it lack a hardware task switching button anyway? Even my N-Gage had one. |
| 21:16.03 | timeless_mbp | qwerty12_N810: buttons are stupid :) |
| 21:16.03 | VDVsx | timeless_mbp, what about ctrl+backspace? |
| 21:16.07 | timeless_mbp | it works |
| 21:16.09 | timeless_mbp | i just don't like it |
| 21:16.11 | Andy80 | timeless_mbp: this is a workaround, not a feature :\ |

| 21:16.55 | timeless_mbp | javispedro is right |

| 21:17.13 | qwerty12_N810 | Fine: Fuck you Steve! |
| 21:17.32 | Andy80 | timeless_mbp: pressing the Power button one time and show a simple menu would be so difficoult? |
| 21:17.33 | VDVsx | -> wowo gmail is back ;) |
| 21:17.43 | timeless_mbp | Andy80: we do show a menu |
| 21:17.51 | timeless_mbp | sticking a task switching item into that menu? |
| 21:17.56 | timeless_mbp | yes, because the ui team is ... |
| 21:17.59 | timeless_mbp | shrugs |
| 21:18.02 | timeless_mbp | isn't a fan of the ui team |
| 21:18.08 | Andy80 | timeless_mbp: :D |
| 21:18.14 | timeless_mbp | they also have menu items in that menu which trigger error states |
| 21:18.18 | timeless_mbp | in violation of their own rules |
| 21:18.25 | timeless_mbp | well, at least one |
| 21:19.11 | timeless_mbp | i'm pretty sure we don't have skype video, although i haven't tried |

| 21:19.31 | timeless_mbp | the preinstalled games to my knowledge are listed on the web site with all the other software |

| 21:21.29 | Andy80 | VDVsx: skype in sbox? |
| 21:21.45 | ShadowJK | acouto, iirc there's a libgpsbt |
| 21:21.51 | Andy80 | timeless_mbp: I suppose Skype team had some problem and wasn't sure to be able to add it in time... |

| 21:22.41 | javispedro | the Skype team certainly has loads of problems |

| 21:22.55 | javispedro | afaik the tech they licensed for Skype itself is now gone |
| 21:23.05 | timeless_mbp | ? |

| 21:24.18 | timeless_mbp | javispedro: you misread |
| 21:24.26 | ShadowJK | acouto, As far as I understand it, libgpsbt is used to start the gps, then you connect to gpsd. gpsd is a fairly "standard" software package, and comes with its own documentation |
| 21:24.33 | timeless_mbp | skype technology was based on code from the core group of skype |
| 21:24.39 | timeless_mbp | which they licensed to the skype company |
| 21:25.12 | GeneralAntilles | I need more people qualified to clean up the wiki. |

| 22:13.20 | qwerty12_N810 | hehe |
| 22:13.22 | javispedro | if not then I'll delete it. |
| 22:13.32 | dark | Question for everybody where i can get arpwatch for maemo |
| 22:13.33 | Jaffa | javispedro: If we know the answer already, answer 'em. |
| 22:13.55 | Jaffa | For example, "Is there any system monitor to see in real-time" |
| 22:14.13 | lcuk | haha zach just wrote one of those in liqbase |
| 22:14.31 | lcuk | it actually shows stats from any connected machine :D |
| 22:14.44 | ShadowJK | "Is it possible to turn off the cellular radio" <- eh? what does the question poser mean? |
| 22:15.03 | ShadowJK | All nokia N series work without sim card, and all Nokia N series, including N810, have offline mode :) |
| 22:15.09 | javispedro | yeah, but |
| 22:15.11 | Jaffa | ShadowJK: Probably one of: a) is there an offline mode or b) can I use it exactly as I used an Internet Tablet |
| 22:15.13 | javispedro | does offline take wifi off too? |
| 22:15.56 | javispedro | what I think he means is that if it can be fully used _without_ the gsm/3g radio on. |
| 22:15.59 | ShadowJK | On other N and E series it initially takes wifi and bluetooth, and when you try use them, it cautions you and asks if you want to activate wlan, etc... but that's not a real answer |
| 22:15.59 | qwerty12_N810 | The mobile-review pics show WiFi on, but a crossed-out SIM card icon in the statusbar |
| 22:16.32 | javispedro | yeah, but removing the sim card is kinda overkill. |
| 22:16.38 | javispedro | also, my phone keeps the radio on even then (112 calls) |
| 22:16.42 | lardman | wondered what that symbol was |
| 22:16.45 | GeneralAntilles | Jaffa, load up the YouTube HTML5 test page. |
| 22:17.00 | Jaffa | GeneralAntilles: But HTML5 is more than <video /> |
| 22:17.08 | ShadowJK | javispedro, the radio would be off until you make a call? |
| 22:17.21 | Jaffa | ShadowJK: Not necessarily |
| 22:17.44 | GeneralAntilles | javispedro, bing. |
| 22:17.49 | GeneralAntilles | Can it be used as a pure internet tablet. |
| 22:17.52 | ShadowJK | even if it was on, it would be using far less power than it uses in idle :) |
| 22:18.23 | GeneralAntilles | Jaffa, I suspect that'll satisfy. |
| 22:18.30 | javispedro | ShadowJK, you have a point :) |
| 22:18.39 | mikkov_ | you probably can't tether n900 though another phone (with default software) |
| 22:18.59 | mikkov_ | I mean with bluetooth |
| 22:19.02 | ShadowJK | "Is DUN supported? " <- DUN "Server" or "Client" support? |
| 22:19.06 | Jaffa | mikkov_: I'd be surprised if they removed that - a better question: can you tether another device through the N900 out of the box |
| 22:19.09 | javispedro | but either way, I don't want to keep removing the sim card. I just want to shut the phone part off. |
| 22:19.13 | Jaffa | (I'd guess no: but easy to add) |

| 22:20.29 | ShadowJK | "Can I log on to secure websites and pay bills?" <- I can do this with N810. Wtf kind of question is this? |

| 22:44.44 | simula | no multi-touch according o the demos i've seen |
| 22:44.54 | javispedro | infobot, alzheimer is something I have. |
| 22:44.55 | infobot | javispedro: okay |
| 22:44.56 | simula | single finger gestures |
| 22:45.15 | mrmcq2u | well stantums multitouch is freaking awesome resistive goodness :D |
| 22:45.19 | javispedro | ~alzheimer |
| 22:45.20 | infobot | hmm... alzheimer is something I have. |
| 22:45.37 | javispedro | we'll see if he remembers this tomorrow :) |
| 22:45.39 | lcuk | i would actually like mt on something big enough to matter |
| 22:45.45 | lcuk | i dont like smears on my screen |
| 22:45.46 | qwerty12_N810 | ~beer |
| 22:45.47 | infobot | ACTION has disconnected (Read error: 99 (Connection reset by beer)) |
| 22:45.49 | lcuk | so i use a stlyus or nail |
| 22:45.56 | javispedro | bang |
| 22:46.04 | simula | multi-touch is cool on the iphones... but i care more about the sweet 800x480 resolution than multi-touch |
| 22:46.08 | lardman | lcuk: plastic nail I trust |
| 22:46.11 | lcuk | its horrible staring at a white screen |
| 22:46.16 | GeneralAntilles | Multi-touch is mostly irritating. |
| 22:46.17 | lcuk | liqbase doesnt show smears as much ;) |
| 22:46.23 | GeneralAntilles | My fingers don't do pinch gestures very well. |
| 22:46.28 | lcuk | lardman, laser siting |
| 22:46.33 | lcuk | sighting even |
| 22:46.43 | GeneralAntilles | It'd work well on a table, but not so well on a mobile device you're trying to hold. |
| 22:46.49 | lardman | sitting on a laser, hmm ;) |
| 22:46.49 | javispedro | thinks the only visibile benefit to multitouch is detecting two/three button presses |
| 22:46.52 | lcuk | drawing on the bright white postcard is odd you know |
| 22:47.05 | GeneralAntilles | javispedro, it's nice on a laptop trackpad. |
| 22:47.08 | lcuk | prefers writing on a blackboard |
| 22:47.10 | javispedro | then we could make the ocarina app qgil wanted :) |
| 22:47.17 | GeneralAntilles | Then you can assign pretty much all of the browser functions to finger swipes. |
| 22:47.30 | lcuk | lardman, could you give the updated liqbase-playground a test |
| 22:47.48 | javispedro | lcuk, it uses a lot of memory |
| 22:47.52 | lardman | I don;t have my N810 here atm, left it at work |
| 22:47.59 | lardman | bad show I know |
| 22:48.01 | javispedro | but works well :) |
| 22:48.06 | mrmcq2u | simula - you can get the high res with stantums spec because its resistive not capacitive |
| 22:48.10 | lcuk | javispedro, if you have just scrolled down a big image list for the first time, yeah |
| 22:48.23 | lcuk | it has to load up the entire image to scroll |
| 22:48.30 | lcuk | after that, it stores an image thumb |
| 22:48.37 | javispedro | but remember to check malloc results |
| 22:48.44 | javispedro | cause I think it crashes more often when swap is disabled |
| 22:48.44 | lcuk | and every time you revisit the file it will load the thumb |
| 22:48.51 | lcuk | yes maybe |
| 22:48.56 | lcuk | im not good with things like this |
| 22:48.58 | lcuk | :$ |
| 22:49.15 | javispedro | either way I don't know what to do when malloc returns null, other than crashing |
| 22:49.25 | lcuk | i do try to catch everything |
| 22:49.30 | javispedro | if you're loading an image, you could just return the "green box", but that doesn't solve the rest of the cases. |
| 22:49.40 | lcuk | when im writing functions i check as many error conditions as possible |
| 22:50.19 | lcuk | and will indicate in the log |
| 22:50.39 | lcuk | and because theres a lot of mallocs in the classes, if they fail i should be trapping and logging |
| 22:50.51 | lcuk | so review the logs carefully and see if it ties up |
| 22:51.03 | javispedro | will. |
| 22:51.26 | lcuk | the log is quite large now actually :$ |
| 22:51.27 | javispedro | btw, the other day I was reading the packaging guide about -dbg packages |
| 22:51.29 | javispedro | obey :) |
| 22:51.52 | lcuk | show me what to change in the lib makefiles and packaging |
| 22:52.00 | lcuk | i can get you the git |
| 22:52.11 | javispedro | show me the git and I'll try to make a patch |
| 22:52.44 | javispedro | now mounts /usr/lib/debug via nfs to his desktop, and gdb is now much, much more useful with nearly half a gigabyte of debug symbols |
| 22:53.08 | lcuk | http://github.com/lcuk |
| 22:53.21 | lcuk | the lib got updated a couple of hours ago |
| 22:53.29 | lardman | just choked on his wine |
| 22:53.33 | lcuk | im just tidying up playground and making sure i add everything |
| 22:53.35 | lcuk | lol |
| 22:53.37 | lardman | nothing to do with the channel mind you |
| 22:53.52 | lcuk | you installed liqbase :P |

| 23:39.23 | timeless_mbp | probably a collision |
