| 02:07.13 | zakkm | or would it, considering purchasing one |
| 02:07.21 | SpeedEvil | no. |
| 02:07.27 | GeneralAntilles | zakkm, there's a thread on -developers. |
| 02:07.32 | GeneralAntilles | SpeedEvil, yes, in fact. |
| 02:07.32 | SpeedEvil | maemo 5 is a partially closed source thingy |
| 02:07.35 | SpeedEvil | oh |
| 02:07.41 | qole | Cool! Fremantle version of the echowb theme! |
| 02:07.42 | SpeedEvil | I mean legally |
| 02:07.42 | GeneralAntilles | Basically the same CPU |
| 02:07.44 | qole | http://www.flickr.com/photos/qole2/4066959248/ |
| 02:07.51 | zakkm | i remember the sdk did, but wasnt sure about final / would it be good |
| 02:08.01 | SpeedEvil | you can't I assume legally put the binaries on it - even if it'd work. |
| 02:08.03 | GeneralAntilles | SpeedEvil, well, Nokia's relicensed a lot of their stuff to allow redistribution |
| 02:08.07 | SpeedEvil | oh |
| 02:08.11 | GeneralAntilles | Only thing you'd really have issue with is Flash. |
| 02:08.17 | SpeedEvil | neat. |
| 02:08.17 | zakkm | ah you guys are so lucky you got a n900 |
| 02:08.24 | SpeedEvil | I do? |
| 02:08.26 | SpeedEvil | looks. |
| 02:08.32 | SpeedEvil | Can you give me a hint? |
| 02:09.06 | zakkm | to be honest, i was looking at really legal |
| 02:09.34 | zakkm | dont use PC as much as i used to, so im considering selling my desktop and buying a beagle board |
| 02:09.47 | zakkm | but maemo on it would be sick im thinking, as opposed to android |
| 02:10.19 | SpeedEvil | IMO, having more than several working 'normal' computers is a bad plan. |
| 02:10.27 | SpeedEvil | What if you have two failures. |
| 02:10.34 | SpeedEvil | You might be left without internet. |
| 02:10.36 | ShadowJK | it'd be a pretty painful excercise |

| 02:11.24 | zakkm | a failure wouldnt do anything |
| 02:11.38 | GeneralAntilles | I'd keep the PC. |
| 02:11.48 | ali1234 | just put ubuntu on it -> win |
| 02:11.50 | GeneralAntilles | Beagle isn't going to do high quality YouTube videos competently, etc. |
| 02:11.52 | zakkm | i need the cash for beagle board though |
| 02:12.04 | GeneralAntilles | Maemo's probably not a good choice for a desktop setup, either. |
| 02:12.04 | SpeedEvil | What are you hoping to do with the beagle board? |
| 02:12.05 | zakkm | for now anyways , and with beagle board i wouldnt need ppc |
| 02:12.10 | GeneralAntilles | Better off with Moblin or plain Ubuntu. |
| 02:12.18 | zakkm | i dont want it to be a desktop anymore |
| 02:12.27 | zakkm | should i add that my monitor is wallmounteede aganist my wall |
| 02:12.43 | ShadowJK | i'd definitely keep the pc. you'd need it to make use out of the beagleboard. it doesn't come in a very useable state |
| 02:12.52 | zakkm | eventually i wll plan to buy a touchscreen , and wallmount that |
| 02:13.03 | zakkm | i have debian on my zipit z2 , and i have windows computers downstairs |
| 02:13.07 | zakkm | i could use for setup |
| 02:13.13 | zakkm | or friends house |
| 02:13.27 | zakkm | want beagle board mostly cause its silent, small helps too |
| 02:13.36 | zakkm | and power usage , keep electricity costs low |
| 02:13.49 | ShadowJK | there is definitely no easy way to install the full maemo os on beagleboard. even getting the SDK on it is probably 'challenging' for a non-developer/poweruser |
| 02:13.53 | SpeedEvil | you can use a broken-screen laptop in the same way. |
| 02:13.55 | zakkm | i dont use my pc like i used to, i dont need such power at all, and with the DSP, i can play my videos |
| 02:14.17 | zakkm | broken screen laptop? |
| 02:14.25 | SpeedEvil | A laptop with a broken screen. |
| 02:14.28 | zakkm | would be more expensive pretty much |

| 02:14.42 | zakkm | i have a highly overclocked machine currently |
| 02:14.43 | SpeedEvil | And much more functional than a beagle board. |
| 02:14.44 | zakkm | running osx 10.6.1 |
| 02:15.00 | zakkm | i want low powered, and i want something small |
| 02:15.03 | zakkm | like maemo or android |
| 02:15.19 | ali1234 | seems like you want to buy a beagleboard :) |
| 02:15.20 | ShadowJK | if you want low power you probably shouldn't overclock :) |
| 02:15.24 | zakkm | it would just be like download, and video watch , bit chatting |
| 02:15.32 | zakkm | yeah that too |
| 02:15.42 | zakkm | like i have a geforce 8500gt in my PC, that alone takes like 140w |
| 02:15.47 | SpeedEvil | My laptop is currently drawing about 15W |
| 02:15.58 | SpeedEvil | and 5 of that is the screen |
| 02:16.02 | zakkm | yeah |
| 02:16.05 | ShadowJK | 140W when running 3D games... |
| 02:16.08 | zakkm | my monitor takes like 65W lol |
| 02:16.12 | zakkm | i kno |
| 02:16.26 | zakkm | well in load, which mostly only happens in games |
| 02:16.26 | zakkm | but yeah |
| 02:16.29 | SpeedEvil | So a laptop will give you most of the power savings. |
| 02:16.42 | SpeedEvil | And still be lots more functional than the beagleboard 'normally' |
| 02:16.56 | ali1234 | my PC uses like 1.21 gigawatts and can't even play HD video... probably isn't much faster than a beagleboard. only thing it has going for it is it can run windows. which i don't use. |
| 02:17.10 | zakkm | gigawatts? isnt it kilowatts? |
| 02:17.34 | zakkm | heh i cant afford laptop though |
| 02:17.36 | zakkm | i want one :P |
| 02:18.00 | zakkm | i was just thinking of selling my pc tower, buying a beagle board.. and installing maemo and just use it for like web + downloading + viewing |
| 02:18.07 | zakkm | thats all i do these days , which maemo can do fine |
| 02:19.27 | GeneralAntilles | zakkm, I'd wait for the new Atoms, personally. |
| 02:19.30 | ali1234 | beagleboard looks cheap until you realise you don't get a case |
| 02:19.41 | zakkm | i dont need a case |

| 02:23.52 | GeneralAntilles | ShadowJK, it depends, I think. |

| 02:33.22 | zakkm | because i dont use my pc like i used to |
| 02:33.27 | jaem | one of my LCDs just died on me :( |

| 02:33.37 | pupnik | nice plan yak |
| 02:33.41 | pupnik | zakkm: |
| 02:33.42 | jaem | it was a freebie - an old XGA Acer |
| 02:33.46 | jaem | so no |
| 02:33.54 | jaem | but now my second desktop is headless |
| 02:33.58 | jaem | -shrug- |
| 02:33.59 | SpeedEvil | zakkm: a 'normal' laptop of some form would work lots better. You don't care much about powersaving, as the LCD is going to dominate. |
| 02:34.01 | zakkm | thinking its best to replace with beagle board |
| 02:34.09 | zakkm | yes i do |
| 02:34.17 | zakkm | thats the reason for the switch, also to go fanless :P |
| 02:34.28 | zakkm | my monitor is worthwhile though |
| 02:34.32 | zakkm | and i cant afford a laptop |
| 02:34.33 | pupnik | maybe you could find space in monitor for beagle |
| 02:34.35 | jaem | zakkm, why is power a concern? |
| 02:34.39 | zakkm | beagle board at $150 is expensive enough |
| 02:34.42 | pupnik | or glotch it on the back |
| 02:34.48 | SpeedEvil | A broken-screen laptop is about as much as the beagleboard |
| 02:34.53 | SpeedEvil | and comes with a heap more stuff |
| 02:34.53 | zakkm | pupnik: its wallmounted.. so no :P |
| 02:35.00 | ShadowJK | those cm900 netbooks used to cost about 200 |
| 02:35.10 | zakkm | i dont need the power though |
| 02:35.13 | zakkm | like cpu power |
| 02:35.22 | zakkm | i need 480p playback, which it can obviously do |
| 02:35.25 | pupnik | i like the idea |
| 02:35.31 | zakkm | even the old omap2430 w.e nokia n800 played them |
| 02:35.39 | zakkm | and just simple web which is nothing |
| 02:35.40 | pupnik | no |
| 02:35.50 | zakkm | okay not 480p i dont know what my videos are |
| 02:35.51 | pupnik | not 480 vid |

| 02:36.11 | pupnik | mhm - lÃower res |

| 02:36.13 | zakkm | i just mean the beagle board is moree than enough performance |
| 02:36.25 | pupnik | yeah should be ok |
| 02:36.33 | zakkm | also low powered is a good reason, and its fanless |

| 02:46.38 | jaem | it's VIA |
| 02:46.50 | jaem | but it looks interesting, even though it isn't quite what you're looking for |
| 02:47.00 | GeneralAntilles | Via's too expensive. |
| 02:47.23 | ShadowJK | some of the non-via boards with via cpus are reasonably priiced |
| 02:48.05 | zakkm | that also sounds like a x86 architecture |
| 02:48.08 | zakkm | very power hungry too |
| 02:48.19 | jaem | zakkm, yeah, as I said, it wasn't quite what I remembered |
| 02:48.28 | jaem | sorry |
| 02:48.55 | ShadowJK | done any math on how much 10W costs per year? |
| 02:49.05 | zakkm | oui |
| 02:49.13 | zakkm | i came here after calculations |
| 02:49.18 | zakkm | beagle is 2W on full load isnt it? |
| 02:49.22 | zakkm | thats what site said |
| 02:49.34 | zakkm | pay 9 cents a kWh here |
| 02:50.04 | zakkm | 10watts = a year.. is $7.89 |
| 02:52.30 | zakkm | GeneralAntilles: it would be for watching use , just like wget download + watching on 23" |
| 02:52.43 | zakkm | id have ipod touch for my portable use, like when im out and such |

| 03:03.07 | GeneralAntilles | zakkm, the resolution issue is a big one. |
| 03:03.10 | GeneralAntilles | Atom is really the way to go. |
| 03:05.01 | zakkm | GeneralAntilles: so power hungry though though , and thoes things have fans which annoy me so much |
| 03:05.08 | GeneralAntilles | Wait for next gen. |
| 03:05.12 | zakkm | cause i have my pc in my room, currently about 10cm from my bed |
| 03:05.32 | zakkm | i wouldnt care about res so much |
| 03:05.37 | zakkm | even as i have it now its 1280x720 |

| 03:07.24 | ShadowJK | well you say you dont need much power yetyou overclock your PC with some monstrous cooler... |
| 03:07.40 | pupnik | x86 |
| 03:07.40 | zakkm | yeahh cause i did |
| 03:07.47 | zakkm | now i dont, so im looking at less power hungry options |
| 03:07.56 | zakkm | i used to need the cpu very high, not anymore |
| 03:08.17 | pupnik | now you get high, and a slow cpu seems fast? |
| 03:08.24 | zakkm | used to encode, use blender and maya, adobe after effects etc |
| 03:08.35 | pupnik | ahh ;) |
| 03:08.36 | zakkm | i needed the cpu high |
| 03:08.52 | zakkm | but now , i change my plans.. i just turning it into videowatching + some web |
| 03:09.08 | zakkm | and my pc is now way too power hungry ( ill be underclocking it tomorrow pretty much ) |
| 03:09.34 | zakkm | so im looking at less power hungry, and then i remmebered about beagle board and then im like omg i remember maemo 5 working on it a bit :P the oldd sdk |
| 03:09.37 | zakkm | so i came here |
| 03:10.35 | zakkm | would i be able to get maemo 5 working on the thing? |

| 03:20.35 | zakkm | its not about OS |
| 03:20.38 | zakkm | and Mer is a OS |
| 03:20.46 | zakkm | i want a handheld device UI |
| 03:20.51 | zakkm | like android or maemo 5 |
| 03:20.59 | timeless | err |
| 03:21.12 | timeless | Mer is basically Mamo 5 ported to multiple devices |
| 03:21.24 | timeless | you're confusing Mer with Ubuntu |
| 03:21.33 | GeneralAntilles | zakkm, er, what? |
| 03:21.46 | ShadowJK | attempting to get maemo5 on beagleboard and you'll end up reinventing/recreating Mer anyway.. |
| 03:21.54 | zakkm | timeless: no im not, i used Mer |
| 03:21.56 | timeless | please excuse my typing, I'm watching a carousel in search of my luggage |
| 03:22.03 | zakkm | i used every single version of mer |
| 03:22.09 | zakkm | i used to have a nokia tablet |
| 03:22.31 | zakkm | i want the maemo 5 UI and everything.. the whole OS ... not just the packages and kernel and such |
| 03:22.39 | zakkm | im talking window manager and everything |
| 03:22.43 | timeless | Mer will have the maemo5 launcher and switchrr stuff if it doesn't already |

| 03:24.28 | timeless | but you'll ave to wait in line like everyone else |
| 03:24.51 | zakkm | i dont want a n900 |
| 03:24.51 | lcuk | maemo 5 sdk + vnc + n810 == as good as possible today |
| 03:25.08 | zakkm | i dont want a n900, i couldnt even afford one |
| 03:25.09 | lcuk | maemo 5 sdk + vnc + laptop == as good as possible today |
| 03:25.16 | GeneralAntilles | zakkm, Mer aims to be as close to Maemo 5 as possible. |
| 03:25.20 | ShadowJK | and he wants it on his 1152p monitor :) |
| 03:25.20 | zakkm | im talking january too, not now |
| 03:25.24 | timeless | zakkm: then you have a problem |
| 03:25.28 | lcuk | GeneralAntilles, he knows |
| 03:25.34 | zakkm | my 1152p monitor.. not at 1152p though |
| 03:25.37 | timeless | you're being unrealistic |
| 03:25.37 | GeneralAntilles | lcuk, apparently not. |
| 03:25.51 | timeless | and somehow expecting better answers by asking repeatedly |
| 03:25.57 | zakkm | i know it does, but unless something changed from when i had my nokia, it went for a different approach |
| 03:25.58 | timeless | it doesn't work that way |
| 03:26.06 | zakkm | like v17 was for going for fvwm was it not? |
| 03:26.33 | ShadowJK | no it's going for the fremantle desktop |
| 03:26.43 | lcuk | zakkm, mer is seeking out the most optimal and straight forward open components to obtain the best experience possible |
| 03:26.57 | zakkm | its going for 100% maemo 5 look? |
| 03:26.59 | lcuk | its been patently clear to many people the ui has lagged, but its catching up :) |
| 03:27.10 | lcuk | afaik its aim is to use the themes |
| 03:27.18 | lcuk | which then sit on the same apps |
| 03:27.19 | ShadowJK | you can't get 100% without buying the n900 :) |
| 03:27.25 | timeless | presumably not nseries |
| 03:27.29 | zakkm | even before maemo 5, it left diablos ui and moved on to taskbar at top and such |
| 03:27.37 | zakkm | while i want 100% pure maemo 5 |
| 03:27.38 | lcuk | which is where m5 is |
| 03:27.41 | timeless | not that anyone in their right mind would use that theme |
| 03:27.46 | lcuk | mer was therefore ahead of maemo5 |
| 03:27.48 | timeless | uses digital nature |
| 03:28.00 | lcuk | i use whatever the default was |
| 03:28.11 | lcuk | gah im not here tho |
| 03:28.16 | timeless | an sdk guy had one of the silver/chrome themes running |
| 03:28.17 | lcuk | ive got stuffs to do |
| 03:28.39 | zakkm | i cant afford a n900 |
| 03:28.54 | zakkm | i just want maemo 5 on a desktop coming out of my monitor , is that really that hard ? |
| 03:29.10 | zakkm | even with the beagle board running omap chip and such |
| 03:29.18 | lcuk | the paradign doesnt exactly work on a desktop |
| 03:29.27 | lcuk | panning with the mouse is silly when a wheel exists |
| 03:29.31 | timeless | since no one can buy an n900 today |
| 03:29.36 | timeless | you need patience |
| 03:29.46 | timeless | asking repeatedly is already annoying us |
| 03:29.57 | zakkm | i know i need patience |
| 03:30.00 | zakkm | im also not asking now |
| 03:30.08 | zakkm | im asking like 4 months from now |
| 03:30.14 | zakkm | im future planning |
| 03:30.15 | timeless | we're collectively rather confident that Mer in January will fit your requuirements |
| 03:30.16 | ShadowJK | i dont think you can get your hands on all of the components that make up full maemo anyway, legally that is |

| 03:32.37 | zakkm | i dont want a taskbar or anything |
| 03:32.47 | zakkm | like mer as it is now, its a OS in my opinion window manager and all |
| 03:32.53 | lcuk | zakkm, the touchbook is capable of being afixed to a fridge or wall |
| 03:32.57 | zakkm | maemo 5 as i see in videos, is different |
| 03:33.10 | lcuk | the maemo 5 videos you see are hand sized |
| 03:33.12 | zakkm | lcuk: already have my desktop wallmounted. |
| 03:33.17 | lcuk | and i agree, if that os existed i would like it |
| 03:33.17 | zakkm | yeah |
| 03:33.21 | ShadowJK | well, take any other desktop environment, remove the panel/taskbar, and only use alt-tab.. same thing |
| 03:33.36 | zakkm | but also dpi and such |
| 03:33.46 | lcuk | the groovy video track and full hand gestures would be cool |
| 03:33.47 | zakkm | every app is fullscrren, fits a certain amount |
| 03:33.54 | zakkm | theres no messing with apt-get or login or anything |
| 03:34.02 | lcuk | thats just a front end |
| 03:34.13 | zakkm | thats what i mean though |
| 03:34.16 | lcuk | the console is your entry point to another world |

| 03:36.49 | ShadowJK | or mac |

| 03:38.04 | lcuk | then stick with the baseline windows mac systems and keep it clean |
| 03:38.08 | zakkm | i just think that if i could run pure maemo 5, okay maybe i cant but imaging it... i could just click web nad click mail and just do it, and leave |
| 03:38.16 | zakkm | thats why i installed mac in the first place |
| 03:38.24 | zakkm | it helped i swear, but i want more |
| 03:38.38 | zakkm | leaving linux/windows helped alot, but i want more |
| 03:38.56 | zakkm | and theres no point of mac, when all you do is surf a bit, and do Instant messenger |

| 03:42.54 | ShadowJK | only gripe with mine is that it rearranged the pageup/pagedown key cluster.. rotated it 90 degrees and removed the insert key, making the delete key twice as big. |

| 03:49.01 | ShadowJK | I recently encountered some "normal" people that had bought a computere buut no monitor. They linked it up to their big flatscreen TV, and used it and its DVB tuner instead of getting a regulat set-top box |
| 03:49.01 | lcuk | anyway, it works as is :) |
| 03:49.22 | ShadowJK | a cheap computer with decent sized harddrive is about same cost as a recording settop box apparently |
| 03:49.28 | lcuk | yeah tis |
| 03:49.32 | lcuk | no dual tuners tho |
| 03:49.43 | ShadowJK | sh |
| 03:49.47 | lcuk | everyone wants dual(triple) tuners now |
| 03:49.52 | ShadowJK | ah, didn't think of that |

| 04:19.40 | GeneralAntilles | It's our old friend the application race bug again! |
| 04:23.14 | pupnik | hehe |
| 04:23.38 | pupnik | so that is the cause of frozen 2nd icons screen GeneralAntilles ? |
| 04:24.23 | GeneralAntilles | No |
| 04:24.25 | GeneralAntilles | This is another bug. |
| 04:24.31 | GeneralAntilles | Nokia's QA testers are the worst. |
| 04:24.39 | GeneralAntilles | I doubt they could test their way out of a paper bag. |
| 04:25.46 | pupnik | you have a similar team under similar circumstances to compare them to? |
| 04:26.11 | pupnik | nevermind, rhetorical question |
| 04:26.49 | pupnik | what does that bug have to do with nokia's testers? is it not in their internal tracker? |
| 04:27.16 | GeneralAntilles | Apple. |
| 04:27.38 | GeneralAntilles | pupnik, no, the amount of stuff they miss because the only "testing" they do seems to be on perfectly clean devices. |
| 04:34.56 | pupnik | ah |
| 04:36.16 | pupnik | so you mean they arent fixing bugs in our 3rd party apps? |
| 04:37.29 | pupnik | ir are 3rd party apps revealing bugs in system software |
| 04:37.35 | GeneralAntilles | No |
| 04:37.48 | GeneralAntilles | I mean that they never expose any edge cases. |
| 04:38.05 | pupnik | ah k |
| 04:38.10 | GeneralAntilles | So they never experience a nearly full or full rootfs |
| 04:38.14 | GeneralAntilles | they never push the envelope |
| 04:38.20 | GeneralAntilles | So when real people use real devices |
| 04:38.23 | GeneralAntilles | things fall to pieces |
| 04:38.35 | GeneralAntilles | Because they didn't discover any of these bugs in their nice little cleanroom environment. |
| 04:39.02 | pupnik | perhaps they find as many bugs as they can deal with given the current methods |
| 04:39.32 | pupnik | the stuff you speak of is harder to find/id |
| 04:39.56 | pupnik | testing is experimenting |
| 04:40.50 | pupnik | i havent seen their internal bugtracker |
| 04:42.04 | GeneralAntilles | It ridiculous the number of bugs we find in the public tracker that they never even imagined. |

| 04:43.14 | GeneralAntilles | Unfortunately because of how broken the process is it means that the bugs often take forever (or never) get fixed. |

| 05:53.35 | cleary | *views |

| 05:54.36 | Davide | does anyone know how a youtube client works? do they play a different file than the embedded one on the website? |
| 05:54.46 | ShadowJK | nope |
| 05:54.55 | Davide | Why do they look so much better in an N8X0 when played in the client as opposed to on the website? |
| 05:55.11 | ShadowJK | mplayer is better than adobe flash player |
| 05:55.16 | cleary | Davide: maybe the client defaults to HQ |
| 05:55.30 | Davide | cleary I mean in regards to choppyness |
| 05:55.39 | Davide | it's choppy in website it's perfectly smooth in client |
| 05:55.42 | dmj7261 | I would surmise a client is similar to how download helper finds the actual video file embedded in the flash |
| 05:55.47 | Davide | I guess ShadowJK gave the answer |
| 05:55.53 | ShadowJK | Yes, the HQ version doesn't play on N8x0 even with mplayer |
| 05:56.02 | GeneralAntilles | Davide, MPlayer is more efficient at decoding flv than the Flash plugin. |
| 05:56.03 | dmj7261 | so it can ignore renderign the flash and just play the video file |
| 05:56.15 | dmj7261 | ...allows for more efficient rendering. |

| 05:58.07 | Davide | I guess that's because the other phones are playing from a client as opposed to embedded flash |
| 05:59.22 | ShadowJK | I imagine it'll be extremely slow if any zoomign in or out is used |
| 06:04.24 | Davide | <GeneralAntilles> Davide, MPlayer is more efficient at decoding flv than the Flash plugin. But don't those clients download an mp4 version of the file? Isn't that what gets saved if you "save" those videos to disk for example if using Mtube or Digia @scene |

| 06:12.27 | ShadowJK | heck, even on N8x0 it becomes smooth if you first ensure that there's more RAM free than the size of the video you are playing, and that everything you need is always in RAM also. |

| 06:45.10 | dmj7261 | I'm also a little concerned about the capture rate. |
| 06:45.25 | qole | the video capture stutters. Big disappointment. Hopefully the final firmware fixes this. The Maemo guys were aware of the problem... |
| 06:45.28 | dmj7261 | It would be nice if I could capture 30fps at 480 |
| 06:45.48 | ShadowJK | does it stutter any less at lower resolutions? |
| 06:45.50 | dmj7261 | so there's no way to capture smooth video? |
| 06:45.57 | ShadowJK | like 640x480 instead of 808 or whatever x 480 |
| 06:46.05 | RST38h | qole: tried raising process priority? |
| 06:47.25 | qole | The Maemo camera guys said that only the phone was allowed "officially" to take the top spot on the process pile, but they hoped that would change soon and video recording would be allowed to renice everything too. |
| 06:47.56 | ShadowJK | is it really a CPU issue? |
| 06:48.26 | qole | I haven't tried manually renicing, no, but it is better if all other apps are closed. Still not perfect tho. |
| 06:49.39 | qole | I won't slag it any more until sales start and I get final firmware. If it still sucks, I will be complaining the loudest. |

| 08:57.00 | mtnman | how about the 810? |
| 08:57.29 | johnx | (the n900's) biggest weakness is battery life. gets through a day of medium to high usage with a little extra power, but it wouldn't go two days the way i use it |
| 08:57.39 | johnx | the n810...meh. I like my n800 better than the n810 |
| 08:57.51 | KMFDM | yeah i charge my n900 daily |
| 08:57.55 | KMFDM | otherwise it is dead |
| 08:57.56 | mtnman | why is that? i have been looking pretty hard at the 810 |
| 08:58.03 | RST38h | plugs it in when he gets to work |
| 08:58.12 | johnx | I like the sd slots. I like the d-pad on the face |

| 08:58.22 | johnx | RST38h, yeah the usb charger is handy |
| 08:58.32 | johnx | directional pad (aka arrow keys) |
| 08:58.35 | mtnman | ah |
| 08:58.39 | KMFDM | i just charge mine every evening after work |
| 08:59.06 | johnx | and I've gotten fast enough at the onscreen soft keyboard that the n810's keyboard isn't a huge improvement |
| 08:59.16 | johnx | the n900's keyboard is a lot better than the n810's |
| 09:00.04 | mtnman | is the d-pad on the 800 that much better than the one on the 810? |
| 09:00.27 | timeless_mbp | the n810's isn't available by default |
| 09:00.27 | johnx | not much, but the placement is better in my opinion |
| 09:00.32 | timeless_mbp | you have to slide out the keyboard |
| 09:00.41 | johnx | the d-pads are both pretty bad |
| 09:00.59 | mtnman | wonders how importand a d-pad is on a device with a touch screen |
| 09:01.07 | johnx | (again, the n900's arrow keys are a step up) |

| 09:02.48 | johnx | that's the only platform nokia will support |
| 09:02.57 | mtnman | and what about mer? |
| 09:02.57 | johnx | and fore sure it needs an omap3 or better to really shine |
| 09:03.25 | timeless_mbp | nokia doesn't sell mer |
| 09:03.26 | SpeedEvil | mer runs on anything. |
| 09:03.26 | johnx | well, a maemo5 equivalent version of mer is on the 800/810 already, but we're waiting on 3d drivers |
| 09:03.32 | SpeedEvil | (that you can convince it to run on) |
| 09:04.16 | johnx | "mer runs where ubuntu runs" is probably the right way to look at it |

| 09:06.04 | timeless_mbp | RST38h: sadly the EU demanded a standard charger plug |
| 09:06.11 | timeless_mbp | thankfully it's basically the usb plug |
| 09:06.20 | timeless_mbp | so nokia was oddly ahead of that curve |
| 09:06.24 | SpeedEvil | sadly, in some ways. |
| 09:06.32 | SpeedEvil | wants a proper connector. |
| 09:06.32 | johnx | will mer ever perform on the n8x0 the way maemo5 does on the n900? no. |
| 09:06.37 | mtnman | johnx what problems have you run into? i'm seriously considering an 810 |
| 09:06.38 | SpeedEvil | (though it could have been worse) |

| 09:12.21 | mtnman | i would imagine for browser/voip/music/etc maemo4 is the ticket for the 810. |
| 09:12.28 | johnx | SpeedEvil, we don't test all the time, but my gut feeling is that we need to find some way to get powertop or similar running to see what's actually keeping it awake |
| 09:12.41 | johnx | it definitely gets warmer idling than in maemo4 (in my case at least) |

| 09:15.39 | mtnman | nice, i had read somewhere that is was limited to 8gb |
| 09:15.52 | johnx | that's the biggest size available when it was launched |
| 09:16.09 | johnx | so that's what Nokia put on the package, since they hadn't tested with 16GB/32GB cards |
| 09:16.11 | mtnman | and that above a certain size it has to be a particular model/brand of card |

| 09:17.51 | mtnman | i would imagine less expensive to purchase as well |
| 09:18.03 | johnx | to be fair, I've spent a lot more time with the n800 than the n810, and thus am more used to it |
| 09:18.07 | mtnman | perhaps also a bit lighter |

| 09:23.52 | timeless_mbp | $0 is my friend |
| 09:23.54 | mtnman | which things? |
| 09:23.57 | timeless_mbp | has um... 4 or 5? |
| 09:24.11 | johnx | mtnman, things that hold open connections and keep the CPU awake |
| 09:24.27 | mtnman | well the 810 isn't a cellular device |
| 09:24.32 | mtnman | so no problem there |
| 09:24.55 | johnx | mtnman, even running them over wifi for extended periods while the device idles will hurt battery life |
| 09:25.09 | mtnman | i suppose that is true. |
| 09:25.11 | johnx | it'll prevent the device from being able to go to the lowest power modes for the CPU and wifi chipset |
| 09:25.24 | johnx | timeless_mbp, for my $8/month I get a nice xen slice with fan-freakin-tastic connectivity |
| 09:25.53 | johnx | and it's not tied to work, so no conflict of interest/IP stupidity |
| 09:26.11 | mtnman | are there any killer features in mameo5 that i will miss if i'm using maemo4? |
| 09:26.42 | timeless_mbp | well, i have shells from a college friend, a guy who helped me do mozilla work, mozilla itself, and a mozilla admin who wants my non mozilla stuff off the mozilla box :) |
| 09:26.44 | johnx | a neat-o 3D desktop, future app development, better PIM, better IM, better email, better browsing |
| 09:27.14 | johnx | it's evolutionary, but it's a *big* evolution |
| 09:27.37 | johnx | and the hardware is there too |
| 09:27.47 | timeless_mbp | better pim? |
| 09:27.53 | timeless_mbp | the n8x0 didn't have a pim! |
| 09:27.54 | johnx | any PIM? |
| 09:28.16 | timeless_mbp | integrated skype |
| 09:28.29 | johnx | well, there was GPE/pimlico/other stuff...but the n900's is very nicely integrated in a way that maemo4's wasn't |

| 09:29.54 | johnx | mtnman, if you use 3rd-party PIM on maemo4, then use the same one on maemo5, then yess |
| 09:30.05 | mtnman | lbt i plan to use it for browsing, email, music/video |
| 09:30.14 | mtnman | also ssh |
| 09:30.18 | timeless_mbp | how compatible do products which technically compete in a space but don't care about eachother have to me? |
| 09:30.30 | johnx | the n900 is better in all of those areas except replacement cost |
| 09:30.41 | timeless_mbp | typed browser urls from the n8x0 should be retained in the n900 |
| 09:30.54 | mtnman | johnx also intitial cost |
| 09:30.55 | lbt | Mer is aiming to be maemo5 compatible |
| 09:30.56 | timeless_mbp | but most people don't try to restore backups across device models |
| 09:31.15 | timeless_mbp | we do try to support such things at times |
| 09:31.27 | timeless_mbp | but it isn't a high priority |
| 09:31.33 | lbt | so mer/diablo interchange using maemo apps is less likely in dual boot |
| 09:31.37 | mtnman | how does the 810 do on music/video? |
| 09:31.43 | timeless_mbp | imagine hypothetically that there were 10 n800s sold and 10 n810s |
| 09:31.51 | timeless_mbp | and imagine we hoped to sell 100 n900s |
| 09:31.58 | johnx | mtnman, it does music fine, and it does video ok if you re-encode it |

| 10:12.01 | tbf | i wonder if the internal GPS and a bluetooth GPS could be asked to cooperate for getting a lock |

| 10:14.09 | johnx | hey lardman. were you looking at emerillon map viewer? |

| 10:15.12 | johnx | petur, generally my experience too. but a dedicated BT GPS is worlds better in both categories, from experience using both |
| 10:15.49 | petur | sure, the BT gps was build to be a reliable source for navigation purposes.... |
| 10:15.52 | mtnman | any dedicated device will usually work better than a combo device |
| 10:15.59 | petur | the n810 gps is just a toy |
| 10:16.08 | samad | timeless_mbp, gst_pipeline_new (char *name); , name = "pipeline" , "app" , "pipe" , NULL which is valid for camera implementation |
| 10:16.25 | johnx | petur, my feeling too. some people didn't understand that going in though |
| 10:16.38 | johnx | mtnman, yup. but some combo devices work better than others ;) |
| 10:16.45 | mtnman | i wouldn't trust gps from any phone or phone-like device |
| 10:16.46 | petur | but what lacks most on n810 is a good mapping and routing app |

| 10:34.05 | mtnman | is it the browser that ships with maemo or 3rd party or what? |
| 10:34.06 | petur | is Tear available for maemo4 or only on mer? |
| 10:34.07 | johnx | it's pretty much the best thing going on maemo4 IMHO |
| 10:34.20 | johnx | 3rd party, available on maemo4/5 and mer |
| 10:34.50 | johnx | also, the "iphone" version of google reader works great in tear |
| 10:34.57 | ccooke | It ought to :-) |

| 10:35.41 | ccooke | johnx: true |
| 10:35.58 | johnx | no gears for tear, but I thought webkit was going to have offline storage built in eventually |

| 10:39.35 | mtnman | johnx: dabbling is ok, but the best benefits accrue when you get deep into it. |
| 10:39.46 | Macer | mtnman: i did |
| 10:39.51 | vasily_pupkin | generally i want use native maemo vkbd with emacs |
| 10:39.52 | vasily_pupkin | :] |
| 10:40.12 | Macer | personally i like microb more than tear |
| 10:40.17 | vasily_pupkin | to do so, i must uderstand conditions, when GTK IM activated |
| 10:40.23 | Macer | seems more page friendly |
| 10:40.34 | Macer | but tear is quicker |
| 10:41.00 | johnx | vasily_pupkin, weeell, I think gtk im != hildon im |
| 10:41.15 | RST38h | both microb and tear have severe performance problems on N8x0 |
| 10:41.20 | mtnman | is hildon the ui for maemo4 and 5? |
| 10:41.30 | RST38h | so at the end it does not matter much |
| 10:41.31 | johnx | mtnman, it's...complicated |

| 10:41.47 | Macer | RST38h: was |

| 11:33.20 | lcuk | is the nokia maps data format documented? |

| 11:39.41 | matmo | hi guys, quick question for the lucky people with N900's, does it come with a stylus? |
| 11:39.59 | Stskeeps | yes |
| 11:40.12 | matmo | Stskeeps: thanks for confirming |
| 11:41.01 | Stskeeps | at least the preprods we have |
| 11:41.06 | Stskeeps | it says nothing of final product though |
| 11:41.30 | ccooke | Stskeeps: I thought there was confirmation the preprods were final hardware? |
| 11:41.59 | Stskeeps | dunno |
| 11:42.33 | matmo | Stskeeps: oh, was your N900 supplied in retail packaging? |
| 11:43.00 | Stskeeps | it says 'NOT FOR SALE', so I doubt it. |
| 11:43.11 | johnx | matmo, in my case the box looked like retrail but it had a "not for sale" sticker as well |
| 11:43.14 | *** join/#maemo qwerty12 (n=d4db7482@ns3.lost-in-cyberspace.net) |
| 11:43.35 | johnx | if I had to bet, I'd bet that nothing is changing on the device hardware, and little is changing in the packaging |
| 11:43.47 | matmo | just wondering if the box or any leaflet mentioned "contents". I understand that details may change in the final product. |
| 11:43.50 | johnx | 1 or 2 months is pretty short notice to fix anything |
| 11:45.17 | johnx | unless the hardware we were given was from a much earlier period, then I think it's fairly safe to guess the final retail device will ship with a stylus |
| 11:46.01 | matmo | It would seem wise given the that the physical screen has shrunk |

| 11:46.30 | johnx | I haven't found a stylus helpful except in some web situations |
| 11:46.48 | johnx | most notably, google maps |
| 11:47.29 | lardman | all the more reason to replace that with a finger friendly app then ;) |
| 11:47.47 | johnx | yes. for the love of god, yes |
| 11:47.58 | Stskeeps | waits for maemo mapper. |
| 11:48.10 | matmo | what about the the stylus being mentioned on box/leaflet and where is the stylus store? The N97 has a receptacle on the case. |
| 11:48.21 | johnx | Stskeeps, dunno. got emerillon up and running on ubuntu and I'm pretty sold |
| 11:48.45 | johnx | matmo, the n900 has a stylus 'silo' as well in the bottom of the case |
| 11:48.47 | johnx | that's the biggest reason I think they'll ship with one ;) |
| 11:49.06 | matmo | In an ideal world I would agree that app's should adapt but some don't lend themselves to that task without become unusable in other ways |
| 11:50.07 | matmo | johnx: thanks for confirming. I would now bet it ships with one, any takers :-) JK |
| 11:50.23 | Stskeeps | johnx: if it supports caching.. |
| 11:50.31 | johnx | it does |
| 11:50.42 | johnx | supports plugins too, in different languages |

| 13:55.56 | RST38h | Jaffa: To verify that you only need to check how many people vote using the current Downloads interface |
| 13:56.01 | RST38h | Jaffa: For Maemo4 Extras |
| 13:56.01 | lcuk | its included functionality thats tested |
| 13:56.04 | lcuk | not whats missing |
| 13:56.38 | Jaffa | lcuk: My email was based on personal experience and my own motivation. It is concrete & empirical (although subjective) |
| 13:56.45 | Stskeeps | hmm, appinstaller exists for debian .debs.. why not make a extras-testing app? |
| 13:56.48 | Jaffa | lcuk: I suggest you read it, if you haven't. |
| 13:56.57 | Stskeeps | which enforces a workflow |
| 13:57.15 | Jaffa | Stskeeps: I was pondering that - a quick overview of the QA queue, checklist reminder and a quick way to vote/comment. |
| 13:57.35 | lcuk | i meant the comments on apps. its not just you, ppl are using testing to give suggestions for new functionality and upgrades |
| 13:58.08 | Jaffa | lcuk: Oh, yeah, I've not suffered that too much. And it is an obvious place to *suggest* new functionality, but it shouldn't act as a blocker to promotion. |
| 13:58.13 | Stskeeps | Jaffa: i would really just integrate it with notifications and such |
| 13:58.15 | lcuk | if it works, ship it! |
| 13:58.21 | Stskeeps | noticing an app closed/etc |
| 13:58.29 | Jaffa | Stskeeps: Hmm, interesting. |
| 13:58.35 | AndrewFBlack | anyone know if vagalume is in the process of being ported to maemo5 |
| 13:58.38 | Stskeeps | tracking core dumps of the apps if that happens |
| 13:58.42 | Jaffa | lcuk: Yes, but my problem comes FSVO "works" and having to start again. |

| 16:40.43 | mgedmin | evo, you can most certainly ask here |
| 16:40.57 | mgedmin | I don't use the GUI bits of the SDK, so can't help you there |
| 16:41.39 | evo | mgedmin: ok, this means that I can play with it even without the GUI, right? |
| 16:41.56 | mgedmin | if by "play" you mean "compile stuff on the command line", then yes |
| 16:42.14 | Anidel | evo: what do you mean by root shell? you want to run a root shell inside the Terminal inside the started up virtual "tablet"? |
| 16:42.34 | Anidel | evo; or simply root inside scratchbox? |
| 16:43.51 | evo | Anidel: root shell inside the Terminal |
| 16:45.14 | Anidel | evo: did you try sudo gainroot? not sure if it works straight away from the Terminal in the emulator window |
| 16:45.35 | Anidel | evo: but why you'd want that? |
| 16:46.44 | mgedmin | in the SDK there's no working sudo |
| 16:46.50 | mgedmin | in the SDK use fakeroot |
| 16:46.59 | evo | Anidel: I'm probably confused, I just wanted to explore the system without using the GUI, to see which packages are installed, what I can do and so, the first steps to know better the tablet |
| 16:47.22 | Anidel | well so you can do all of this as soon as you run "scratchbox" and you're in it |
| 16:47.24 | evo | Anidel: and I thought that using sudo gainroot was the only way possible |
| 16:47.35 | mgedmin | the SDK is not the system |

| 16:47.49 | mgedmin | I don't think you can learn about the tablet by exploring the SDK |
| 16:49.22 | Anidel | it depends what he wants to play with... scratchbox is essentially a chroot system, you can check packages from there via apt-get/ apt-cache |
| 16:50.28 | mgedmin | packages installed in the SDK are quite different from packages installed in the real tablet |
| 16:51.00 | evo | I thought that scratchbox was the chroot with a lot of packages used to run the SDK, but that I needed to launch the "root shell" inside the GUI to see only the real ones used by the tablet |
| 16:51.01 | Anidel | true, but he wants to learn about the SDK :) moreover.. without a tablet at hand.. it's hard to check what's on it :P :) |
| 16:51.02 | Anidel | eheh |
| 16:52.11 | Anidel | evo: yes.. but (I am not sure about this) I think the packages "overlap" in the sense that the ones you install from scratchbox (FREMANTLE_X86) are the ones in the Emulator |

| 18:47.58 | ali1234 | because the debian/rules file of this library chokes if prefix=anything other than /usr |

| 18:50.18 | lardman | fiferboy: yeah |

| 18:53.48 | ali1234 | it's not like there isn't 101 better ways to handle it |
| 18:54.05 | GeneralAntilles | Somebody should get crackin' on an aufs solution. |
| 18:54.21 | RST38h | ali1234: May it have something to do with having to compile -dev stuff? It does not get installed to the device normally, does it? |
| 18:54.22 | GeneralAntilles | Heck, there's even a slim chance it could be integrated into Maemo 5 if done correctly. |
| 18:54.38 | ali1234 | RST38h: -dev gets installed in the sdk normally |
| 18:54.51 | ali1234 | RST38h: you need -dev if you want to actually be able to link against the library |
| 18:54.53 | RST38h | General: there was an idea to just do unionfs of / and /opt |
| 18:55.07 | qwerty12_N900 | maemo-optify is a half-assed tool. |
| 18:55.17 | RST38h | ali1234: Yes, but maybe you can install -dev into /usr/lib and install the actual library into /opt? |
| 18:55.27 | RST38h | And don't use maemo-optify as it is evil? |
| 18:55.28 | ali1234 | RST38h: yes, that's the idea |
| 18:55.34 | ali1234 | in practice it is hard |
| 18:56.07 | ali1234 | because the way the debs are built consists of: configure, make, make install, cherry pick required parts into individual trees, build debs |
| 18:56.31 | ali1234 | so the same prefix has to be used for all four resulting debs |

| 19:00.41 | ali1234 | but it doesn't need to go in /usr |
| 19:00.48 | ali1234 | they should have put all the nokia stuff into /opt |

| 19:01.29 | ali1234 | that way, only nokia built in packages would need to be specially modified for maemo |
| 19:01.40 | ali1234 | zaheer_: it would be *exactly* the same as it is now |
| 19:01.46 | GeneralAntilles | As a user, I'd rather have the speed. |
| 19:02.04 | ali1234 | except everything currently in /opt would be in /usr and everything currently in /usr would be in /opt, and /opt would be on / and /usr would be on mmc |
| 19:02.16 | ali1234 | you're not listening |
| 19:02.20 | GeneralAntilles | Urg |
| 19:02.21 | ali1234 | it wouldn't affect speed at all |
| 19:02.25 | GeneralAntilles | That sounds . . . unpleasant. |
| 19:02.32 | ali1234 | not at all |
| 19:02.38 | ali1234 | it would be a win for everyone concerned |
| 19:02.40 | zaheer_ | probably as unpleasant as now |
| 19:02.57 | ali1234 | because instead of having to modify every single package ever except the nokia stuff which nobody else even uses |
| 19:03.14 | ali1234 | only the nokia stuff would have to be modded, and everything else could be installed with prefix=/usr |
| 19:03.27 | ali1234 | ie without having to hack the existing package scripts |
| 19:03.30 | GeneralAntilles | ali1234, well, ideally, we're going to be able to do it at the autobuilder in a month or two. |
| 19:03.35 | ali1234 | to the user, this would be 100% invisible |
| 19:04.48 | dark | anyone knows where i can insert my own alias in n810 |
| 19:05.30 | ali1234 | there's just no way you can automate optification with 100% success, if only because of buggy programs with hardcoded paths |

| 23:09.53 | qwerty12_N900 | tekonivel: Available for install from the app manager, not preinstalled |
| 23:09.54 | GeneralAntilles | guaka, that's the SDK repository. |
| 23:10.01 | tekonivel | qwerty12_N900: oh! |
| 23:10.02 | GeneralAntilles | It's for use with the SDK ONLY. |
| 23:10.04 | javispedro | angry. print (size_t)&(client->req_len) - (size_t)client = 256 on one stack frame, = 248 on another stack frame. |
| 23:10.08 | GeneralAntilles | Packages in there can and will harm your device when. |
| 23:10.20 | tekonivel | i was adamantine it's preinstalled |
| 23:10.24 | guaka | GeneralAntilles: ehm, well, yeah it's a brick that makes light and vibrates if I want it to |
| 23:10.33 | VDVsx | tekonivel, don't worry it's easy to install :P |
| 23:10.42 | GeneralAntilles | guaka, brick is non-bootable non-recoverable. |
| 23:10.52 | GeneralAntilles | You're effectively in the N900 equivalent of a reboot loop. |
| 23:10.55 | GeneralAntilles | Except, less loopy. |
| 23:11.02 | tekonivel | VDVsx: i know (and i'll manage), bur how many n00bs will? |
| 23:11.22 | guaka | GeneralAntilles: I can't recover it until Nokia releases an image, which could be another month for all I know |
| 23:11.23 | tekonivel | otoh n900 isn't necessarily something a n00b would pick up |
| 23:11.25 | GeneralAntilles | tekonivel, there will be links to Maemo Select and Ovi right from the desktop. |
| 23:11.35 | GeneralAntilles | It will be available in the application manager with zero effort. |
| 23:11.43 | GeneralAntilles | guaka, it'll be this month. |
| 23:11.55 | VDVsx | tekonivel, the basics are pretty easy to use ;) |
| 23:11.57 | kynky | hopefully this month |
| 23:12.13 | tekonivel | anyway, nice to get qik on n900 straight from the start |
| 23:12.14 | GeneralAntilles | tekonivel, getting software on the N900 is dead simple. |
| 23:12.27 | GeneralAntilles | If people can manage to find software on an iPhone, they can find software here. |
| 23:12.42 | wiretapped | guaka: was the n900 your primary phone? |
| 23:12.53 | wiretapped | that sucks in any case |
| 23:12.57 | tekonivel | GeneralAntilles: yeah sure, but i know maybe a million people who never thought about installing programs on their telephones |
| 23:13.00 | VDVsx | tekonivel, they did the core of the app in 3 days ;) |
| 23:13.06 | tekonivel | but i must educate them :) |
| 23:13.06 | guaka | wiretapped: yes, I was happy to dithc my crappy old phone |
| 23:13.14 | wiretapped | says a temporary brick is still a brick, temporarily |
| 23:13.21 | GeneralAntilles | Nokia probably should've figured out a way to get FIASCO images to Summit lessees if they expected them to do testing. |
| 23:13.27 | wiretapped | srsly |
| 23:13.35 | GeneralAntilles | tekonivel, because it's complicated and non-obvious? |
| 23:13.50 | javispedro | GeneralAntilles: maybe they expected you to overjelously hide them in your safes... who knows :) |
| 23:13.57 | tekonivel | GeneralAntilles: non-obvious |
| 23:14.05 | wiretapped | guaka: I hope one of the people in this channel who is able to give you an image will do so |
| 23:14.19 | GeneralAntilles | tekonivel, like I said, there are prominent links to both the Ovi Store and Maemo Select available on the desktop right out of the box. |
| 23:14.21 | tekonivel | GeneralAntilles: to many people is't like suggesting installing prograams on their door |
| 23:14.37 | GeneralAntilles | wiretapped, no one in this channel is able to distribute images. |
| 23:15.01 | tekonivel | is looking for good videos of the n900 calendar |
| 23:15.04 | GeneralAntilles | tekonivel, those people are unlikely to be buying a $600 phone. |
| 23:15.06 | wiretapped | legally, maybe, but that is no reason not to help out an early adopter who's main phone is now non-functional |
| 23:15.18 | tekonivel | has seen the two obvious ones |

| 23:15.24 | GeneralAntilles | wiretapped, actually, it's an overwhelmingly important reason not to help. |

| 23:28.29 | GeneralAntilles | Nokia is working towards an architecture that wont be quite so brittle |
| 23:28.46 | GeneralAntilles | But there's a lot of inertia in the wrong direction behind our current arrangement, so it will take a little time. |
| 23:29.24 | lcuk | gen preaching to the choir, we read ML and stuff too :P |
| 23:31.01 | wazd | realitygaps: thx |
| 23:31.32 | tekonivel | there, sent email to qik |
| 23:31.46 | lcuk | now, onto serious business, moobox updated code ontop of bug reports (as did many people) |

| 23:32.02 | lcuk | please have a look down list and install apps and test |

| 23:34.46 | GAN900 | I lost my N900 for a couple of minutes. |
| 23:35.01 | lcuk | lol |
| 23:35.08 | lcuk | at least nowadays you can call it |
| 23:35.12 | GAN900 | It was the thing playing internet radio on the kitchen counter. <_< |
| 23:35.38 | pupnik | mer is the true god |
| 23:36.02 | pupnik | :P |
| 23:36.42 | VDVsx | pupnik, are you using mer in your bricked n900 ? :P |
| 23:36.54 | guaka | thinks there should be a USB slave mode, where the device is just a dumb drive (just like apples do with firewire) |
| 23:37.00 | pupnik | no |
| 23:37.31 | pupnik | i should start a summer programming camp in the nature for college girls |
| 23:38.06 | pupnik | whonwill invest? |
| 23:39.57 | tekonivel | second life for n900? |
| 23:39.59 | tekonivel | bad idea |
| 23:40.57 | lcuk | pupnik, Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter. |

| 23:43.41 | lcuk | qwerty12_N900, pupnik will happily sit in his chalet showing you movies, meanwhile the rest of us will be in the forest ummmm coding |
| 23:44.05 | pupnik | yes chalet |
| 23:44.15 | pupnik | lets do it in austria or smth |
| 23:44.25 | pupnik | northern italy? |
| 23:45.02 | guaka | do hardware bugs also go into bugs.maemo.org? I find the back of the battery of the N900 very flaky already |
| 23:45.02 | pupnik | oh yes, and ski party as long as we relocate to mountains |
| 23:45.40 | GeneralAntilles | guaka, flaky? |
| 23:45.58 | wiretapped | is sure females in the channel are all encouraged to become programmers by this conversation |
| 23:46.27 | lcuk | im sure males are encouraged to become programmers by this conversation too |
| 23:46.44 | lcuk | so its all fair! |

| 23:47.12 | lcuk | winter camp consists of role reversal |
| 23:47.18 | guaka | GeneralAntilles, yeah, the thin surrounding of the battery is coming off already... |
| 23:47.32 | wiretapped | http://xkcd.com/322/ |
| 23:48.26 | lcuk | giggles @ xkcd |
| 23:49.50 | guaka | GeneralAntilles, so I wonder if that goes into bugs.maemo.org... or somewhere else? |
| 23:50.28 | GAN900 | guake, the back cover or the BL-5J? |
| 23:50.48 | guaka | (or maybe it will delay the release of the device and consequently the release of the image my communication life depends on... and I shouldn't report it) |
| 23:50.57 | GAN900 | And it can go into b.m.o, but it's unlikely that anybody will ever look at it. |
| 23:51.05 | guaka | GAN900, if you mean the battery inside the N900 by BL-5J: yes |
| 23:51.06 | lcuk | guaka, pics? |
| 23:51.13 | lcuk | the battery isnt a new component for this device |
| 23:51.34 | lcuk | its in many things, i dont get what you mean |
| 23:51.41 | GAN900 | The plastic wrapper? |
| 23:51.42 | guaka | lcuk, since I got the N900 I stopped carrying my Canon Ixus around as well |
| 23:51.47 | GAN900 | Who cares? |
| 23:51.49 | guaka | GAN900, yeah, plastic wrapper |
| 23:52.05 | GAN900 | lcuk, two things, actually. |
| 23:52.13 | GAN900 | 5800 and N900 |
| 23:52.14 | guaka | GAN900, the plastic wrapper on which BL-5J is written |
| 23:54.11 | lcuk | guaka, wtf have u been doing with your device, you kill it metaphorically, now you are gnawing on the battery :P |
| 23:54.51 | tekonivel | does n900 ship with one of those little remote controllers, that go between the device and headphones? |
| 23:54.58 | tekonivel | i can't find it mentioned |
| 23:55.12 | guaka | lcuk, well, this has started when I got it... every time I have to take out the battery (which is often, since I'm between two countries/two SIMs) it's coming off a bit more |
| 23:55.57 | lardman | interesting, an AD-43 (I think) headset doesn't even work as a headset |
| 23:56.01 | guaka | never understood why the SIM slot needs to be _under_ the battery |
| 23:56.36 | lcuk | lardman, time for more of your bt coding? |
| 23:56.52 | lcuk | dunno guaka but there is usually method in most madness |
| 23:57.13 | lardman | lcuk: wired headset |
| 23:57.54 | lcuk | ahh is this the one hrw mentioned earlier |
| 23:58.06 | lardman | I think so |
| 23:58.44 | lardman | dmesg shows a gpio 177 and says a headset is plugged in, but no status area symbol and sound out of the main speakers |
| 23:58.52 | lcuk | i wonder whether its just software ignore the signals |
| 23:58.58 | lcuk | or if its not wired through in the first palce |
| 23:59.12 | lcuk | should lookup |
| 23:59.17 | *** join/#maemo dieb_ (n=dieb@189.71.125.194) |
| 23:59.30 | lcuk | raise as a bug then |
| 23:59.35 | GAN900 | Anybody else always losing UPnP shares? |
| 23:59.35 | lcuk | if it detects it as a headset |
