| 00:54.58 | mdaum | Hello all. Looking for info on controlling the N900's camera. |
| 00:55.13 | mdaum | Particularly shutter speed, for example. |
| 00:58.43 | CoreFusion- | What about it? |
| 00:59.24 | mdaum | What API can I use to control it. |
| 00:59.42 | CoreFusion- | I have no idea, sorry :/ |
| 00:59.46 | mdaum | How I can get access to events from the "take picture" button..... |
| 00:59.55 | mdaum | Generally camera control. |
| 01:00.30 | CoreFusion- | Have you tried searching the wiki? |
| 01:00.46 | mdaum | A bit. There's something called GDigicam |
| 01:00.47 | CoreFusion- | http://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/Maemo_5_Developer_Guide/Using_Multimedia_Components/Camera_API_Usage |
| 01:01.16 | mdaum | Yes, I've seen that. |
| 01:01.24 | mdaum | I'm not saying it's not useful. |
| 01:01.39 | mdaum | Good starting point, but doesn't point me to the deeper info. |
| 01:01.52 | mdaum | GDigicam has a very similar "hello world!" to the one you just linked |
| 01:02.09 | mdaum | Both seem to studiously avoid using the "take picture" button. |
| 01:02.38 | CoreFusion- | there is a part that talks about "Take photo", is that a different thing? |
| 01:02.45 | mdaum | Even the camera app provided doesn't provide shutter speed control. |
| 01:02.59 | mdaum | It's a hildon button on the touch screen. |
| 01:03.06 | mdaum | Labelled "Take photo" |
| 01:03.15 | CoreFusion- | ok, you are talking about the hw button? |
| 01:03.18 | mdaum | not the physical button on the top right of the device |
| 01:03.29 | mdaum | Yah, that's the one I'm talking about. |
| 01:04.01 | mdaum | It's nitpicky, but I'm doing research into the way cameras jitter when people take pictures. |
| 01:04.14 | CoreFusion- | Ok, then I guess you'll just have to wait until there is someone here who knows about that, I can't help you with that |
| 01:04.15 | mdaum | So I'd really like them to be doing it the way they usually do. |
| 01:04.22 | mdaum | Thanks for listening :) |
| 01:04.48 | CoreFusion- | what kind of research? |
| 01:04.55 | mdaum | Computer vision |
| 01:05.01 | mdaum | Deblurring |
| 01:05.18 | derf | What lab? |
| 01:05.18 | CoreFusion- | Interesting |
| 01:05.28 | mdaum | University of Toronto, DGP |
| 01:05.49 | CoreFusion- | so what are you looking for exactly? |
| 01:06.17 | mdaum | See if today's cheap sensors provide enough telemetry to really help deblur shaky images. |
| 01:07.03 | CoreFusion- | sorry for my bad english but what you mean by telemetry? |
| 01:07.26 | mdaum | Measurements of the physical position and motion of the camera while the shutter is open. |
| 01:07.59 | SpeedEvil | Deshaking - significantly - isn't really practical due to SNR limits usually. |
| 01:08.06 | CoreFusion- | Hmm |
| 01:08.38 | SpeedEvil | The camera will - probably - be limited to a full readout in some smallish fraction of a second - IIRC ~1/10th of a second is typical for this class of sensor. |
| 01:08.48 | SpeedEvil | It may have a faster 'binned' output mode. |
| 01:09.09 | CoreFusion- | only 110th?? |
| 01:09.14 | CoreFusion- | 1/10** |
| 01:09.31 | SpeedEvil | CoreFusion-: yes |
| 01:09.36 | CoreFusion- | damn |
| 01:10.13 | CoreFusion- | And here I was hoping that I wouldn't have to drag my camera with me always.. |
| 01:10.15 | CoreFusion- | :P |
| 01:10.38 | SpeedEvil | The performance of the camera is not bad - for a phone camera. |
| 01:10.58 | SpeedEvil | It really, really suffers if you compare it to a 'real' camera though unfortunately. |
| 01:11.30 | CoreFusion- | SpeedEvil: Well I'm used to a dslr.. |
| 01:12.06 | CoreFusion- | I knew it wouldn't compare to it, but for casual photos.. |
| 01:12.14 | CoreFusion- | it doesn't really matter that much |
| 01:12.17 | SpeedEvil | Look on flickr for n900 images. |
| 01:12.29 | SpeedEvil | It's quite good - for a phone camera. |
| 01:12.33 | CoreFusion- | I have seen some of them |
| 01:12.39 | CoreFusion- | And some are good, some are not |
| 01:13.20 | CoreFusion- | I think that it's highly affected by the conditions |
| 01:13.41 | SpeedEvil | yeah. |
| 01:13.54 | SpeedEvil | Bright light is always going to show off most cameras. |
| 01:15.04 | mdaum | Well 1/10 should be slow enough to see camera shake blur, no? |
| 01:15.16 | mdaum | Of course the N900 has a CMOS camera, which complicates. |
| 01:15.17 | CoreFusion- | Sure |
| 01:15.49 | mdaum | The camera app has an "exposure" setting, but it sort of seems to act like gain. |
| 01:16.15 | mdaum | SpeedEvil: the deblurring works better than you'd think. |
| 01:16.40 | pupnik | i did night oix in amst |
| 01:17.00 | CoreFusion- | pupnik: care to share them? |
| 01:17.04 | pupnik | yiu can see the usual problems with nolise and purple fringing. exposure was good |
| 01:17.14 | pupnik | flickr arnim-s |
| 01:17.24 | pupnik | sorry for dupes |
| 01:17.39 | SpeedEvil | mdaum: Are you counting real images, or are you doing it on simulated noiseless images? |
| 01:17.42 | pupnik | dear sweer lord |
| 01:17.53 | pupnik | down to 1400 cycles with dropouts |
| 01:18.01 | pupnik | here we go |
| 01:18.14 | mdaum | So far I'm only using synthetic data, because I haven't gotten real telemetry yet. |
| 01:18.28 | dmj726 | I can't tell...has image quality been improving with recent firmware updates? |
| 01:18.36 | SpeedEvil | mdaum: you've quantised the data - and added noise and blur? |
| 01:18.44 | SpeedEvil | mdaum: and you've counted the bayer effect? |
| 01:19.13 | mdaum | Ooh. What's the bayer effect? |

| 01:20.36 | SpeedEvil | It is the way black and white sensors fake being colour sensors. |
| 01:20.39 | mdaum | Here it is: http://cs.nyu.edu/~fergus/research/deblur.html |
| 01:20.39 | SpeedEvil | Well - a way |
| 01:20.44 | pupnik | n900 runs dosbox slower than n800 |
| 01:20.48 | pupnik | nice |
| 01:20.55 | *** part/#maemo pupnik (n=pupnik@unaffiliated/pupnik) |
| 01:20.59 | mdaum | Ah, I see the bayer effect. |
| 01:21.02 | CoreFusion- | pupnik: that's odd |
| 01:21.35 | mdaum | Usually you solve for the blur kernel on the intensity image, and then deblur the color channels in a non-blind way using that kernel. |
| 01:21.37 | SpeedEvil | waits till he has a better connection. |
| 01:22.04 | mdaum | Noise is an issue. Everyone models it as gaussian, which breaks down for jpeg. |
| 01:22.25 | SpeedEvil | I'm not sure if the sensor output JPEG - it might |
| 01:22.33 | dmj726 | then don't use jpeg? |
| 01:22.37 | mdaum | It can do png |
| 01:22.41 | SpeedEvil | Some sensors natively output jpeg |
| 01:22.49 | SpeedEvil | In at least some modes |
| 01:22.58 | CoreFusion- | RAW FTW! |
| 01:23.03 | dmj726 | the sensor shouldn't be doing jpeg...that would be silly |
| 01:24.00 | SpeedEvil | dmj726: nevertheless, it is done sometimes. |
| 01:24.18 | mdaum | Sensor may not do jpeg, but it may be all the user has access to nonetheless. |
| 01:24.38 | dmj726 | I wouldn't care about that on a crappy dumbphone vga camera, but something that has decent optics shouldn't |
| 01:25.04 | dmj726 | I hope the n900 lets us write non-jpeg software |
| 01:25.20 | mdaum | It does. But it's much slower to write back the images. |
| 01:25.42 | CoreFusion- | mdaum: about that link you put; nice deblurring indeed.. :) |
| 01:25.46 | dmj726 | just because of the bigger file size? |
| 01:26.02 | mdaum | Pretty good, no? Sadly not my work. |
| 01:26.13 | mdaum | But that paper made a splash. |
| 01:26.29 | mdaum | That was my guess dmj726 |
| 01:27.16 | dmj726 | still would allow for reasonable rate of capturing stills though I hope? |
| 01:27.20 | CoreFusion- | I send them a msg if I could get that code :) I could try it out on couple of my own pics :) |
| 01:27.59 | mdaum | It's matlab code. Worth trying tho. I'd love to hear how it works for you. |
| 01:28.08 | dmj726 | very nice debluring |
| 01:28.23 | CoreFusion- | Yeah I have access to matlab at school |
| 01:28.30 | mdaum | No problem then. |
| 01:28.52 | SpeedEvil | http://www.robotshop.us/sfe-cmos-camera-1300-1040-1.html - camera with inbuilt jpeg |
| 01:29.07 | SpeedEvil | It's actually built onto the same chip as the sensor |
| 01:29.15 | mdaum | How cool is that? |
| 01:29.25 | SpeedEvil | it's so that you can do jpeg video without much external heavy lifting |
| 01:29.32 | mdaum | Ten bucks. |
| 01:30.04 | CoreFusion- | Hmm.. I could get one of those for my robot :D |
| 01:30.14 | dmj726 | ah...well that sounds useful for simple robotics projects |
| 01:30.52 | dmj726 | remembers how challenging it was to get a robot to find and calculate position relative to a green light. |
| 01:30.53 | SpeedEvil | http://www.st.com/stonline/stappl/cms/press/news/year2007/p2120.htm |
| 01:30.55 | SpeedEvil | ah yes |
| 01:31.25 | SpeedEvil | dmj726: It's not really very. You need to read all the image out in 1/30th of a second or so - so it's not so easy |
| 01:31.59 | CoreFusion- | haha, lucky me that our robot project was in the end very simple |
| 01:32.22 | SpeedEvil | The camera delivers best-in-class, 30 frames per second UXGA-resolution output, for fast image capture, using an on-chip hardware M-JPEG (Motion - Joint Photographic Experts Group) encoder, or 15 fps YUV (Luminance-Bandwidth-Chrominance) output with no compression |
| 01:32.45 | dmj726 | 6 weeks is a short time to design and build a 150 lb/78 lb robot |
| 01:32.54 | SpeedEvil | All in 8*8*4.5mm |

| 02:08.46 | CoreFusion- | there was 3 competition, 1 was a speedtest along a 5m track, one was a "tunign-show" as in the croud woted for the best looking and then there was that "Robot wars" |
| 02:08.50 | dmj726 | However, we managed to win all but two matches in the qualification rounds |
| 02:08.57 | CoreFusion- | gj! |
| 02:09.19 | dmj726 | Turns out our robot was an amazing defense bot |
| 02:09.25 | CoreFusion- | we aimed to win the wars from the beginning, didn't really bother with the others :P |
| 02:09.49 | CoreFusion- | we came second in the speed test but that was just bad luck |
| 02:10.17 | dmj726 | one of the matches we didn't win was a 0-0 tie since nobody on our team could score and we managed to prevent the entire other team (which could) from scoring |
| 02:10.23 | CoreFusion- | there was 3 runs, the team that won had times: 4,8/12/16 seconds... on lucky run |
| 02:10.46 | CoreFusion- | our times were 5,4/5,0/4,9 |
| 02:11.12 | dmj726 | very consistent |
| 02:11.21 | CoreFusion- | indeed |
| 02:12.41 | CoreFusion- | it was fun building it! :D |
| 02:12.48 | dmj726 | The strange thing was everybody else thought that our bot shouldn't have worked at all as a defense bot, since (once the ramps were removed) we were about 40 pounds lighter than everyone else |

| 02:13.38 | CoreFusion- | 40 punds makes a hell of a difference in how much force you can project forward |
| 02:13.41 | CoreFusion- | pounds* |
| 02:14.15 | dmj726 | We suspect that our lack of padded bumpers resulted in lifting the other bot up for a spit second every time we rammed them, since we were pushing bots around that had way more powerful motors. |
| 02:14.43 | CoreFusion- | oh you didn't all have the same motors?? |
| 02:14.46 | dmj726 | ...we couldn't push them continuously but could drive them back by repeatedly ramming. |
| 02:14.54 | dmj726 | We used 2 motors, others had 4 |

| 02:16.04 | CoreFusion- | how big budget did you have? |
| 02:16.24 | dmj726 | $6,000 got you into one regional and the kit of parts |
| 02:16.31 | CoreFusion- | O.o |
| 02:16.49 | dmj726 | you could put up to $3,500 of additional parts on the robot |
| 02:17.01 | CoreFusion- | we got the motors and the battery for free and then the school gave every team 20 euros :P |
| 02:17.16 | dmj726 | we didn't spend nearly that much on extra stuff |
| 02:17.18 | CoreFusion- | we did spend about 150 euros of our own money to it tho |

| 09:07.19 | alterego | facebook plugin for XBox is a bit naff. |
| 09:07.35 | alterego | And it's a shame the last.fm plugin isn't capable of playuing music whilst you're doing other stuff. |
| 09:08.12 | johnx | also naff: they dropped the price used "banned" xboxes through the floor ... but it's also impossible to run homebrew on the consoles those same consoles that have the latest kernel :| |
| 09:08.13 | alterego | Poor design :( |
| 09:08.28 | alterego | johnx: yeah, that's a bit crap. |
| 09:08.34 | alterego | Can you not clone the drives some how? |
| 09:08.47 | johnx | I think the kernel is in firmware this time |
| 09:08.51 | alterego | Ah, right. |
| 09:09.07 | johnx | (also: WTH was I trying to type up there?!) |
| 09:09.09 | lardman | johnx: in rom iirc from mgedmin's post yesterday |
| 09:09.12 | dmj726 | what's the point of a device with no homebrew? |
| 09:09.15 | alterego | That thought did just occur to me, still, I'm happy with my XBox just running as it's supposed to. |
| 09:09.32 | alterego | I see little point in turning it into a linux workstation as my workstation is sitting right next to it ^.^ |
| 09:09.37 | johnx | my wii doesn't have quite the amount of kick I'd like it to have under linux |
| 09:09.46 | dmj726 | particularly one with no homebrew and no networking |
| 09:09.51 | lardman | johnx: did you read that wikipedia article on 17 ways MS went wrong with xbox security? |
| 09:09.56 | johnx | I'd love to run canola and use a wiimote on a decent tv connected machine |
| 09:10.04 | johnx | lardman, the first xbox, right? |
| 09:10.12 | lardman | yeah |
| 09:10.18 | lardman | you talking 360? |
| 09:10.39 | johnx | yeah |
| 09:11.00 | johnx | they just banned a whole bunch of modded consoles, and apparently they're going used for like $40 USD |
| 09:11.11 | lardman | oh wow |
| 09:11.18 | lardman | is the mod not reversible then? |
| 09:11.30 | johnx | the mod may be reversible, but the banning is not |
| 09:11.36 | lardman | ah right |
| 09:12.00 | johnx | or rather, the circumstances under which you could get around the ban are pretty crazy |
| 09:12.34 | dmj726 | ...banning consoles is pretty harsh |
| 09:12.37 | dmj726 | ...hmm |
| 09:12.46 | dmj726 | You know what would be a great hack? |
| 09:13.08 | dmj726 | Take all those modded consoles and build a service they could connect to. |
| 09:13.11 | alterego | Yeah, policing hackers should be by a crack squad of FBI agents :) |
| 09:13.47 | lardman | ah, look at the time, got to go to work, bbiab |
| 09:14.12 | johnx | the ban I'm fine with, strangely. the not allowing homebrew (even if it means giving up your privilege to connect to live) is more annoying |
| 09:14.27 | dmj726 | ...and provide games and so forth that would run on the modded consoles for that network. |
| 09:14.42 | johnx | yeah, but again: no homebrew |
| 09:14.55 | johnx | need that as the first stepping stone. without it, grander dreams are just that |
| 09:15.03 | dmj726 | ...not with the default OS |
| 09:15.31 | johnx | er, wait, so you want to make licensed games that people with modded consoles could buy? |
| 09:15.51 | dmj726 | either buy or get free, probably a mix |
| 09:16.25 | dmj726 | wait a minute...this isn't an original concept |
| 09:16.31 | johnx | not 100% sure on this, but doesn't all xbox360 inet multiplayer stuff happen through live? |
| 09:16.41 | dmj726 | yes |
| 09:16.50 | johnx | so, the first step is homebrew |
| 09:16.56 | dmj726 | And I just realized where I got that idea |
| 09:17.04 | dmj726 | It's the xnet |
| 09:17.26 | dmj726 | from Cory Doctorow's little brother. |
| 09:17.44 | dmj726 | that being the title |
| 09:17.44 | johnx | there's been lots of similar ideas before as well |

| 09:18.50 | dmj726 | WoG on xbox 360 anyone? |
| 09:19.04 | dmj726 | Can you install Linux on the 360? |
| 09:19.30 | johnx | dmj726, nope. the summer update blocks homebrew |
| 09:19.35 | johnx | that's what I was lamenting earlier :) |
| 09:19.49 | dmj726 | oh...so you can't even wipe it completely? |

| 09:40.07 | alterego | I think HDMI/DVI output would be the only one, and, to me, it's annoying because the device is capable of doing it, I can't see why they didn't just throw it in. |

| 10:52.09 | RST38h | For their own good |

| 10:56.15 | dmj726 | âMaemo Selectâ, the current community-portal for Maemo applications, will initially run alongside Nokiaâs Ovi store, which is due to launch for the N900 via a software update next month. However, in the longer term it too will be retired leaving only the Ovi Store as the official Nokia source for free and paid applications promoted on Symbian and Maemo devices. |

| 10:57.31 | johnx | wazd, some guy here printed $7 million with an ink jet printer on news print |

| 10:59.12 | Khertan | dmj726: this is true for predicted disaster, but also for nokia :) |
| 10:59.17 | johnx | Khertan, the guy at reallymobile claims the source is the N900 london meet-up |
| 10:59.22 | johnx | time will tell if it's true |

| 10:59.41 | Khertan | johnx: but we will see :) |
| 10:59.42 | glass_ | johnx: maemo related folk have been saying this year+3 for dropping symbian for few years in few places now |
| 10:59.45 | RST38h | wazd: So, who bribed you? =) |
| 11:00.06 | johnx | glass_, first I heard it, but I figured it was coming |
| 11:00.06 | glass_ | and "n-series" is just a naming convention |
| 11:00.07 | GeneralAntilles | I have to laugh at Engadget calling S60 5th "mature" |
| 11:00.08 | RST38h | wazd: Has military fallen THAT low now? =) |
| 11:00.15 | GeneralAntilles | "Geriatric" is the word they're looking for. |
| 11:00.21 | glass_ | johnx: i heard it circa 3 years ago first :D |
| 11:00.29 | johnx | glass_, yeah sounds like splitting the current N to become X for symbian and N for Maemo |

| 11:04.00 | johnx | lcukn900, so where are you on the floor of? |

| 11:04.20 | lcukn900 | euston station concourse |
| 11:04.34 | lcukn900 | waiting to find platform number |
| 11:04.39 | johnx | glass_, until that fateful day when they stick a fork into a wall socket? |
| 11:04.45 | TomaszD | anyone has any idea how to get the AC3 codec onto the N900 so that the media player supports it? I'm getting kind of tired having to transcode audio to MP3 |
| 11:05.04 | lcukn900 | i keep wanting to stand at the front and get everyone to smile |
| 11:05.17 | lcukn900 | so i can take a pic |
| 11:05.19 | johnx | lcukn900, ok, stop what you're doing, go to the london N900 meetup, and ask the guys there if they're dropping symbian for maemo on the N series by 2012 |
| 11:05.29 | lcukn900 | they are all looking the right way |
| 11:05.30 | alterego | Heh |
| 11:05.51 | lcukn900 | johnx i ws at the meetup |
| 11:05.52 | glass_ | johnx: bbq-fork is easier to stick in |
| 11:06.05 | glass_ | regular forks are hard :\ |
| 11:06.10 | lcukn900 | and it makes no sense to drop symbian |
| 11:06.30 | johnx | glass_, I think we need to have outlets designed to accept forks more easily... |
| 11:06.50 | lcukn900 | seriously why is that even a consideration? i would however love for nokia devices to choose os when you open the box |
| 11:07.13 | lcukn900 | bbl platform 2 |
| 11:07.22 | johnx | alright, so then you heard differently than this other guy who claims to have been at the meetup and says that Nokia announced they were dropping symbian on Nseries |
| 11:07.34 | dmj726 | hmm...I wonder if we might see the current "linux" smartphone OSes become more gnu-like in order to decrease fragmentation/marketshare issues |
| 11:07.53 | johnx | GNU-like? hmm? |
| 11:08.00 | johnx | you mean more interoperable? |
| 11:08.15 | dmj726 | easier for app developers by way of becoming like say...debian |
| 11:08.26 | glass_ | lcukn900: maemo in it's current state couldn't work as os for majority of current n-series devices |
| 11:08.29 | dmj726 | (or insert desktop distro here) |
| 11:08.55 | johnx | dmj726, no. they're moving away from that |
| 11:09.18 | GeneralAntilles | thinks he can actually swing the Barcelona weekend. |
| 11:09.29 | lcukn900 | glass yet |
| 11:09.31 | johnx | dmj726, Maemo4 was more desktop-like than Maemo5 in a lot of ways |
| 11:09.44 | dmj726 | ...not just refering to nokia |
| 11:09.54 | johnx | dmj726, android won't. limo won't |
| 11:09.55 | dmj726 | (and I'm not talking ui here) |
| 11:10.17 | johnx | web os is so far away from desktop linux it's not worth considering |
| 11:10.23 | glass_ | lcukn900: what i could believe is that there's plans to use maemo more in high end, but n-series doesn't mean high end |

| 12:09.23 | dmj726 | If you pair 2 n900's you get a very fast Nintendo DS :P |
| 12:09.34 | kirma | theoretically not a bad idea, just very model-specific stuff to implement |

| 12:36.57 | kirma | actually, it wouldn't be necessarily an huge issue... it would just require good placement of "buttons" and somewhat more intelligent processing of the data |
| 12:37.30 | kirma | if there are only two pressure points at the same time on the display, the read result is something on line between those |
| 12:38.07 | kirma | if lines are properly enough separable and user action not too wizardric, I think it could be figured out |

| 12:46.06 | Shapeshifter | no, as I said, without multitouch that is pretty damn impossible. Only the d-pad would go onscreen, the rest needs to stay on the keyboard |
| 12:46.12 | Shapeshifter | I don't see a problem with that. |
| 12:46.13 | kirma | pressure level is supposedly also readable from input? |
| 12:46.41 | mzz | you probably could mostly do it if you assume the d-pad and the a/b buttons don't change simultaneously |
| 12:47.11 | mzz | and I lie, still wouldn't quite work: I don't think you could detect whether a+right just changed into b+right or a+left |
| 12:47.33 | dmj726 | the puns weren't too subtle were they? |
| 12:47.47 | mzz | err, that example's broken, but you get the idea |
| 12:48.54 | kirma | from raw sensor data, one might be able to work out things, but preprocessed, filtered data would probably be way too mangled to serve much purpose in such hackery |

| 12:56.39 | zaheerm-lp | lardman, what's up |
| 12:56.42 | lardman | If I want to link against one of the gst plugins (as well as the main libgstreamer), should I need to manually supply a linker path (-L) or should it come from pkg-config? |
| 12:56.52 | zaheerm-lp | lardman, don't link to a plugin :) |
| 12:56.52 | lardman | as it doesn't |
| 12:56.56 | lardman | hmm |
| 12:57.08 | zaheerm-lp | lardman, why do you want to link to a plugin? |
| 12:57.08 | lardman | how do I use a function supplied by the plugin then? |
| 12:57.18 | zaheerm-lp | what functions are you talking about? |
| 12:57.18 | RST38h | lardman: AFAIK plugins do not have .pc files so -L it is\ |
| 12:57.25 | lardman | I need to use the gst_photography functions defined in camerabin |
| 12:57.32 | zaheerm-lp | aaah |
| 12:57.38 | zaheerm-lp | that is different |

| 13:11.41 | alterego | Nokia wont drop Symbian for a long time yet. |
| 13:12.09 | kirma | the Nseries rumor makes sense, but it doesn't really mean that it would be factually verifiable stuff this time |
| 13:12.29 | kirma | especially the 2012 timeframe is more than just barely believable |
| 13:12.34 | alterego | The man years of 3rd party developers since S60's debut is pretty insane, and non-one has really adopted Qt, which is the only real migration path. |
| 13:12.37 | suihkulokki | There is a HUGE difference between "dropping from n-series" and "dropping completly" :P |
| 13:12.38 | glass_ | i would find it hard for nokia to actually know for sure what os they're going to ship in what named os in 2012 |
| 13:12.58 | suihkulokki | n-series is just a marketing term (observe the freshly launched x-series) |
| 13:13.00 | Stskeeps | suihkulokki: the further away from the source the more convuluted the message gets :P |
| 13:13.11 | kirma | indeed |
| 13:13.13 | alterego | glass_: you say that, but Maemo has been incubating and moving along their agenda for at least 5 years? |
| 13:13.29 | Stskeeps | especially since it says symbian going to E-series |
| 13:13.38 | glass_ | alterego: yes, but as i've said before i've listened to "they'll drop symbian in favor of maemo" for 3 years |
| 13:13.46 | kirma | Qt move on Symbian should really be done by 2012 |
| 13:13.58 | kirma | hell, it should be done to considerable extent already late 2010 |
| 13:14.00 | alterego | "... from the entire âtop endâ N-Series range of handsets ..." |
| 13:14.07 | alterego | That's exactly what they've been sxaying all along. |

| 13:14.49 | alterego | Expect to see maemo on the new N97 like flagship high-end devices, |
| 13:14.56 | glass_ | well doh, n900 |

| 13:16.44 | alterego | Yes there will aol, but the kinds of devices that the N95 were and the N97 is, will more than likely be geared toward Maemo, as they're supposed to be the most powerful handsets. |

| 13:18.55 | RST38h | aol: There is no problem adding standard POSIX APIs on top of Symbian |

| 13:19.09 | kirma | well, anything below high-end smartphones is much muddier to separate from each other... but the "cheapos" are really ones with monochrome screen and sold for 20 euros or so in africa |
| 13:19.09 | glass_ | alterego: n97 could be said to be less powerful than n95 too |
| 13:19.12 | alterego | They've already done that. |
| 13:19.17 | RST38h | alterego: still no main() though? |
| 13:19.20 | alterego | They use glib/gobject in OpenC too. |
| 13:19.28 | aol | RST38h: yeah good job implementing Open C++, it is awfully buggy and slow :( |
| 13:19.28 | dmj726 | how about replacing the symbian kernel with Linux and the Symbian userspace with Debian? |
| 13:19.29 | glass_ | you could've had main() for ages in symbian |
| 13:19.31 | alterego | RST38h: yeah, you can write apps with 'main' |
| 13:19.34 | glass_ | not that it's too useful though |
| 13:19.41 | kirma | S40 might replace S30 and new Qt-based Symbian replace S40 |
| 13:19.47 | RST38h | glass: Well that is different main() :) |
| 13:19.48 | aol | RST38h: I'm not saying theres no good in symbian, but the implementation and execution has always been awful |
| 13:19.58 | RST38h | glass: But yes, sincle Symbian 9.1 (S60e3) |
| 13:20.14 | kirma | potentially even S40 might adapt Qt for internal development (I think it should be a goal, only problem is if it's possible) |
| 13:20.14 | aol | the api's buggy and non existent documentation |
| 13:20.26 | aol | I just wish symbian.org would have happened 2-3 years ago |
| 13:20.27 | glass_ | RST38h: well, before that too. but to what good? most apps need ui not convinient to do from console exe |

| 14:06.35 | lbt | it's really sad that a linux phone won't talk to linux apps :( |
| 14:06.48 | lbt | especially since it has syncml |
| 14:06.59 | lbt | but not over tcp AFAIUI |
| 14:07.13 | barisione | lbt: there are 2 separate sync things on the n900 from what I know, the one used with other nokia phones (that should be syncml) and exchange |
| 14:07.24 | lbt | so syncevolution does syncml over usb |
| 14:07.36 | lbt | barisione: makes sense |
| 14:07.44 | barisione | but I work on the addressbook and those apps are on top (and closed source) so I don't know how they work exactly |
| 14:07.56 | lbt | *nod* |
| 14:08.25 | lbt | would it make sense to write an open syncml client on the libcontacts base? |

| 14:27.49 | Shapeshifter | mhhh, there's no irssi for the n900 yet, right? |
| 14:28.19 | cosmo | the well-integrated im support sucks even more than pidgin in irc |
| 14:28.27 | Robot101 | RST38h: we've been working for 4 years, with Nokia, on Telepathy, an IM framework designed to allow the installation of 3rd party protocol plugins with totally native integration into the device Contacts, Conversations and Call |
| 14:28.33 | Robot101 | cosmo: multi-user chat is being worked on |
| 14:28.33 | aep | Shapeshifter: why would it have to be ported at all? |
| 14:28.51 | Shapeshifter | aep: I'm guessing it already exists for arm? |
| 14:28.56 | cosmo | Robot101: that would be nice. for fremantle? |

| 14:30.24 | RST38h | Robot: Maybe integrating it with Maemo IM framework is a more constructive idea? |
| 14:30.27 | Shapeshifter | aep: I meant more like a package in extras |

| 14:31.50 | Robot101 | RST38h: the point is, if there's going to be a big "GET PIDGIN" advert on maemo.org, why don't we all just give up and go home? I'd rather the Nokia sponsored maemo.org site promoted the technologies Nokia has been sponsoring, so at least its consistent and not a gigantic "f**k you" to their own developers who worked on designing and implementing the built-in stuff |
| 14:31.50 | aep | Shapeshifter: ah. |
| 14:31.57 | RST38h | Robot: What I meant though is accessing Maemo IM through Pidgin UI |

| 14:32.50 | RST38h | Robot: As far as I am concerned, current Maemo IM is incomplete |
| 14:33.07 | Shapeshifter | RST38h: what's missing? |
| 14:33.11 | RST38h | Robot: Pidgin fills some holes left open in your implementation |
| 14:33.14 | Robot101 | the UI for conversations and contacts etc is designed for the device, wedging pidgin on top of that is just going to be bizzare |
| 14:33.23 | Robot101 | if at all possible |
| 14:33.29 | RST38h | Shapeshifter: Cannot lookup details on a previously unknown guy who sent you a message |

| 14:33.58 | RST38h | Shapeshifter: ICQ users who were offline at the moment they were added are left as UINs (no nicks no data) |
| 14:34.02 | glass_ | "hey, intrested in cheap glassware?" |
| 14:34.04 | RST38h | Shapeshifter: Yes, sometimes |
| 14:34.17 | Robot101 | pidgin doesn't use e-d-s or telepathy or any of the underlying stuff, you can't just "make it use the framework" |
| 14:34.23 | RST38h | Shapeshifter: IRC plugin is disfunctional and the chatroom mode is not even implemented |
| 14:34.35 | Robot101 | barisione: ^^ when does eds-backend-tp retrieve aliases? |
| 14:34.40 | Shapeshifter | mh. I don't really seem to care about these. but I guess it's fixable in their IM thingy, and I find it looks damn well sexy. |
| 14:34.50 | RST38h | Robot: Well, can't you write some kind of pidgin plugin that connects to telepathy rater than directy to services? |
| 14:34.51 | Robot101 | RST38h: IRC is planned to be fixed too |
| 14:34.51 | Shapeshifter | irssi is for IRC: |

| 14:53.22 | SpeedEvil | Skypes fundamental problem is that it's a binary, with an undocumented protocol that is expected to punch through firewalls. |
| 14:53.39 | ccooke | SpeedEvil: punching through firewalls is trivial. |
| 14:53.43 | javispedro | and acts as a p2p protocol, which only adds to the injury |
| 14:53.44 | SpeedEvil | This means that a trojan exploiting holes in the skype client could gain _wide_ acceptance. |

| 16:11.43 | qwerty12 | zaheerm: It's not meant to update; dnsmasq is running a reason |
| 16:11.44 | RST38h | "There's a rounding-error bug in the camera driver's autofocus routine (which uses a timestamp) that causes autofocus to behave poorly on a 24.5-day cycle. That is, it'll work for 24.5 days, then have poor performance for 24.5 days, then work again." |

After compiling 2.6.30 with proper framebuffer console support and hardcoded (i assume there's no way to patch the bootloader's cmdline so i had to patch the kernel to ignore that ATAG) compiled-in cmdline i'm still unable to get Debian working :( The X doesn't start, hell with it, it can be fixed but the device turns itself off after ~65 seconds. I assume that's RETU watchdog but how should it be properly handle |
| 20:48.24 | PaulFertser | ... I tried apt-get install watchdog and ensured i have RETU_WD compiled in but the result is the same. Any suggestions? :) |

I just found that n900 could be a great device for communications like skype and etc |
| 20:58.28 | timeless_mbp | business do things because there's a business case for doing it. |
| 20:58.41 | timeless_mbp | Anpr: skype integration is awesome |
| 20:58.46 | timeless_mbp | but a word of warning: |
| 20:58.52 | timeless_mbp | roaming in foreign countries can be expensive |
| 20:58.55 | PaulFertser | Anpr: imho communications withi skype can't be great. I think nokia is doing the wrong thing offering skype support :( |
| 20:58.59 | timeless_mbp | and VoIP will *not* save you |
| 20:59.06 | timeless_mbp | got an incredibly high phone bill recently |
| 20:59.14 | suihkulokki | PaulFertser: I think the all reboot.. if you are experiencing poweroff it might be due to overheating (if you have no power managment at all) |
| 20:59.20 | CShadowRun | Anpr although i don't own one, it looks like it does all that stuff out of the box, and i know WINE is porting to the ARM architecture, so before long, you may be able to run Skype 4 for Windows on the N900 if you wanted, which would be fun |
| 20:59.32 | timeless_mbp | CShadowRun: um |
| 20:59.41 | timeless_mbp | wine is wine-arm |
| 20:59.49 | CShadowRun | they already did it? |
| 20:59.57 | PaulFertser | suihkulokki: overheating of what? And can it be felt by holding the device in hands? I did and i felt nothing bad. |
| 20:59.58 | timeless_mbp | i doubt skype4-arm-wince is something you can find lying around |

| 21:06.40 | timeless_mbp | the instructions include things like "use the prefabricated tile" |
| 21:07.03 | timeless_mbp | wine is a way to solve the problem of the prefabricated tile |

| 21:08.54 | GeneralAntilles | The Skype codecs are also quite heavy. |
| 21:08.59 | CShadowRun | hehe |
| 21:09.04 | timeless_mbp | and in fact, i'd almost *expect* you to use wine-w32 instead of wine-arm |
| 21:09.13 | CShadowRun | yea, wine-arm won't do it |
| 21:09.23 | timeless_mbp | so the existence of wine-arm doesn't help you an iota |

| 23:25.18 | javispedro | maemo sdk noob edition? interesting |
| 23:25.40 | VDVsx | now anyone can install it, good job nokia |
| 23:25.53 | VDVsx | javispedro, = gui installer |
| 23:25.56 | qwerty12_N900 | Is that the Python script thing? |
| 23:25.59 | qwerty12_N900 | Yep |
| 23:25.59 | javispedro | aaaah |
| 23:26.08 | VDVsx | it creates shortcuts and everything |
| 23:26.10 | javispedro | but I guess it's the same old evil. |
| 23:26.13 | javispedro | still disables vdso |
| 23:26.19 | VDVsx | qwerty12_N900, yes, PyQt |
| 23:26.30 | VDVsx | oh ironic |
| 23:26.34 | qwerty12_N900 | :) |

| 23:31.58 | Tester | like amazon ? |
| 23:32.16 | Klowner | wiretapped: I wandered into the nokia store in Chicago on Sunday and they said "a couple weeks" |
| 23:32.51 | Ave | holy shit |
| 23:32.59 | Ave | people are gonna go mental |
| 23:33.18 | Ave | rumors after rumors, someone oughta confirm someething |
| 23:33.24 | Klowner | I also saw them say "a couple weeks" to at least 3 other people that wandered in during the 15 minutes I was there |
| 23:33.38 | Klowner | so, I foresee riots in a couple weeks |
| 23:33.43 | Ave | but do they really nkow |
| 23:34.13 | wiretapped | newegg's date went from 11/14 to 11/30 at some point a while ago |
| 23:34.22 | wiretapped | amazon has no date |
| 23:34.36 | Klowner | my amazon pre order says it'll arrive after Christmas |
| 23:34.44 | Klowner | with a cute little mistletoe icon to taunt me |

| 23:36.29 | Ave | always on, if you have charger handy |
| 23:36.51 | wiretapped | or a source of usb power... |
| 23:36.56 | Klowner | hand-crank! |
| 23:37.10 | wiretapped | has charged his 770 and N800 with a hand crank |
| 23:37.21 | Klowner | I need one of those |
| 23:37.27 | wiretapped | it didn't work well |
| 23:37.39 | Ave | haha |
| 23:37.43 | Ave | oh dear |
| 23:37.44 | Klowner | what if you pay a toddler to crank it? |
| 23:38.23 | Proteous | that's illegal in most contries |
| 23:38.28 | wiretapped | when the device had turned off from low battery... the handcrank was able to boot it up and keep it running, but after ~30 minutes of charging it ran for less than 10 after stopping |
| 23:38.57 | wiretapped | so, not particularly practical |
| 23:39.48 | Ave | you obviously crunk too slowly |

| 23:50.49 | Shapeshifter | Mh, I just realised that for people not familiar with linux and/or the command line, scratchbox could be quite a pain to set up. A few people are complaining on the forum. I think maemo would benefit quite a bit if the SDK was easier to use. I personally don't care, but I guess it should be on a roadmap of sorts. |

| 23:53.08 | wiretapped | VDVsx: iirc you can set DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS ? |
| 23:53.18 | wiretapped | not sure if there is another step necessary too |
| 23:54.02 | Shapeshifter | derf: ah. Are they in some obvious place? People are complaining about lack of clarity. Well, when I was looking for what to do, I came to the "install the SDK on 32-bit debian" wiki article, which worked fine for me |
| 23:54.48 | derf | Shapeshifter: Google? |
| 23:55.02 | derf | The Diablo ones were pretty easy to find. |
| 23:55.33 | derf | No idea about Fremantle; haven't looked. |
| 23:57.39 | Shapeshifter | derf: I'm talking about a non-maemo-regular looking for information. For example, if you google for "maemo 5 skd install" there's a whole lot about the beta SDK with http://maemo.org/development/sdks/maemo_5_beta_sdk/ being the first hit, and on that page for example, there's no link saying "HEY the FINAL is out, so ignore this" |
| 23:58.06 | Shapeshifter | then one clicks on "Maemo SDK installer" and what he gets is an .sh file to download... |
| 23:58.08 | mikhas | Shapeshifter, ideally there would be some remote virtual boxen that windows users could use, no? |
| 23:58.19 | mikhas | flashed after each use |
| 23:58.52 | Shapeshifter | So, I'd say for your "typical windows iphone programmer" it's quite hard to get the SDK running. There's no straightforward way of knowing. |
| 23:59.44 | Shapeshifter | on that page, there's even no reference at all to the final SDK, everything beta, at the right in the menu, only if you go to SDK releases there's a link to the nokia final SDK page |
