| 00:45.14 | woglinde | works as user too |
| 00:45.20 | mgedmin | also be sure not to remove any essential packages that would brick your device |
| 00:45.28 | ali1234 | deborphan sounds like apt-get autoremove to me |
| 00:45.32 | woglinde | mgedmin lol |
| 00:45.37 | mgedmin | cruder |
| 00:45.46 | Nicko | is that equivalent to apt-get autoremove? |
| 00:45.46 | woglinde | mgedmin you cannt do it without |
| 00:45.50 | woglinde | typing |
| 00:45.56 | woglinde | I am really dump |
| 00:46.01 | ali1234 | Nicko: i dunno, i'm just going on the name of it |
| 00:46.10 | mgedmin | autoremove remembers which packages were explicitly installed, and which ones were pulled in automatically |
| 00:46.15 | mgedmin | deborphan tries to guess |
| 00:46.21 | mgedmin | which is why I called it 'cruder' |
| 00:46.55 | Nicko | so autoremove > deborphan ? |
| 00:49.02 | mgedmin | for values of > |
| 00:49.17 | mgedmin | it's certainly a newer feature of apt's |
| 00:49.46 | mgedmin | and it can be useful in other ways |
| 00:49.52 | Nicko | '>' = safer to use |
| 00:50.03 | mgedmin | e.g. if you explicitly install libfoo-dev in order to build something, autoremove won't remove it |
| 00:50.16 | mgedmin | but deborphan will tell you that you've got libfoo-dev that no other package depends on |
| 00:50.36 | Nicko | i ran autoremove right now. quite a lot of libs and apps it wants to clean out |
| 00:50.38 | mgedmin | I wouldn't blindly remove every package deborphan lists |
| 00:50.45 | mgedmin | I would blindly apt-get autoremove |
| 00:50.47 | mgedmin | so, yes |
| 00:51.03 | ali1234 | i would blindly apt-get autoremove on ubuntu, but not maemo |
| 00:51.06 | mgedmin | well, not blindly, but unless it looks _very_ wrong, I'd assume it was safe |
| 00:51.08 | mgedmin | yeah, that |
| 00:51.14 | ali1234 | call me paranoid but i just don't trust those crazy non-free debs |
| 00:51.36 | Nicko | its funny though..autoremove wants to remove unrar |
| 00:51.42 | mgedmin | I know what's what on ubuntu; a lot of maemo pkgs are a bit mysterious |
| 00:52.36 | Nicko | last n00b question: is there a way for me to check what is using a certain lib? |
| 00:54.32 | mgedmin | apt-cache rdepends? |
| 00:54.36 | mgedmin | I don't really remember |

| 02:31.25 | ali1234 | decoder in actionscript? lol |
| 02:31.32 | ShadowJK | Plus it's doing alpha compositing on top of the video, which uses shitloads extra |

| 02:54.09 | AakashPatel | they have cases? |
| 02:54.10 | AakashPatel | Where |
| 02:54.13 | go1dfish | im still using the same case as my treo650 |
| 02:54.14 | w00t | well |
| 02:54.14 | Vratha | i often throw mine at the wall |
| 02:54.16 | go1dfish | works quite well |
| 02:54.19 | Vratha | just to let it know who's boss around here |
| 02:54.20 | w00t | I bought *A* case for it, yes |
| 02:54.22 | w00t | and it fits ok |
| 02:54.26 | AakashPatel | erm nvm |
| 02:54.30 | AakashPatel | It already has a micro scratch |
| 02:54.31 | go1dfish | even the headphone port cutout in the bottom is in the right spot |
| 02:54.32 | w00t | though the plastic over the keyboard is a bit annoying |
| 02:54.35 | AakashPatel | might as well not use protection |
| 02:54.45 | DocScrutinizer51 | ooooh sheiit what a scary tool |
| 02:54.46 | w00t | quote of the day award goes to AakashPatel |
| 02:54.58 | AakashPatel | Hah |
| 02:55.14 | Vratha | i wonder if strangers having sex use that excuse |
| 02:55.27 | Vratha | "well, my penis already has a scratch... what the hell... no protection!" |
| 02:55.34 | Vratha | 3 weeks later, they learn they have aids |
| 02:55.41 | Vratha | hiv at least |
| 02:56.06 | Vratha | hahaha, that would be funny to us outside observers |
| 02:56.36 | AakashPatel | Lol |
| 02:56.42 | AakashPatel | Bur srsly |
| 02:56.46 | AakashPatel | this tiny scratch |
| 02:56.49 | AakashPatel | D: |
| 02:57.53 | w00t | I thank god I bought a screen protector |
| 02:58.52 | w00t | else I'd have no end of scratches |
| 02:58.58 | yuizy | which protector do you have? |
| 02:58.59 | w00t | is a harsh master |
| 02:59.02 | w00t | durasec |
| 02:59.08 | w00t | though I'd not recommend it |
| 02:59.14 | AakashPatel | ehhh |
| 02:59.19 | *** part/#maemo BBNS (n=bbns@4.59.55.30) |
| 02:59.21 | w00t | it's ok, but a pain in the *ass* to apply, and i'm not confident it's sticking properly |
| 02:59.38 | AakashPatel | My motto is, why protect something when it'll eventualy break anyways |
| 03:00.19 | AakashPatel | just show off this damn shiny beast |
| 03:00.29 | w00t | I'd like it to remain pristine as long as I can, really |
| 03:00.44 | ShadowJK | w00t, mine stuck.. with lots of bubbles.. and I misaligned it originally |
| 03:00.48 | AakashPatel | eh theres that point when you first get a little damage on it |
| 03:00.49 | AakashPatel | and you freak out |
| 03:00.51 | ShadowJK | most of the bubbles went away after a couple of days |
| 03:00.54 | w00t | the bubbles ARGH THE BUBBLES |
| 03:00.59 | yuizy | :D |
| 03:01.01 | AakashPatel | (i do that with every peice of electronics i have lol) |
| 03:01.03 | w00t | I still have some on the top end of the screen, small ones |
| 03:01.05 | ShadowJK | now after like 2 weeks or something... the thing has so many scratches it's unbelievable :_) |
| 03:01.10 | w00t | yeah |
| 03:01.11 | w00t | same |
| 03:01.30 | ShadowJK | Most of them go away when you look at the screen contents, except 3 |
| 03:01.36 | ShadowJK | that warp light or something |
| 03:02.28 | AakashPatel | oh well |
| 03:02.34 | AakashPatel | first scratch of many to come lol |
| 03:02.41 | ShadowJK | I have 5 more in the drawer though |
| 03:03.03 | w00t | ShadowJK: I used up around 3 trying to put the bastard on |
| 03:03.08 | w00t | I was in too much of a rush |
| 03:03.34 | w00t | (>_>) |
| 03:03.39 | ShadowJK | lol |
| 03:03.51 | ShadowJK | I ordered 3 of the vquiti or something.. |
| 03:04.39 | yuizy | is the vquiti one any good? |

| 03:04.39 | yuizy | this one |
| 03:05.14 | ShadowJK | haven't received mine yet |
| 03:05.48 | yuizy | have you heard any comments? |

| 03:06.09 | ShadowJK | seems highly regarded on tmo, I'm told |
| 03:08.15 | yuizy | cool |
| 03:14.22 | fnordianslippers | i got a vikuiti. good fit, touch still useable, but i got bubbles and crud under it, so binned it. might get a couple more of them. |
| 03:21.09 | Arkenoi | has just one micro scratch after 2 weeks of use, that's almost ok |
| 03:21.47 | Arkenoi | i am afraid screen protector makes touch less responsive and affects the view |
| 03:22.22 | AakashPatel | Arkenoi: same here |
| 03:23.07 | Arkenoi | i think i'd better buy a leather case so i won't accidentally damage the phone after throwing it into the same pocket with the keys while drunk or something ;-) |
| 03:23.30 | DocScrutinizer51 | Arkenoi: same here |
| 03:25.11 | DocScrutinizer51 | I'd really like to learn how much the touchpanel screen surface costs when ordered via a nokia repair shop |
| 03:26.16 | DocScrutinizer51 | I'd prefer to replace the original rather than any protector |
| 03:26.34 | ShadowJK | yes |
| 03:27.19 | jkimball4 | so dell can't RMA by n900 because they don't have it in their db. won't get any until 29th |
| 03:27.30 | DocScrutinizer51 | if it's some 20 bucks or such... so what, twice a year |
| 03:27.48 | jkimball4 | so i'm stuck with this one that turns off randomly until early january it looks like |
| 03:27.54 | Arkenoi | i am afraid it is one module with the screen itself |
| 03:28.03 | Arkenoi | so it may be more like $150 or so |
| 03:28.18 | DocScrutinizer51 | Arkenoi: it,s not |
| 03:28.23 | DocScrutinizer51 | see video |
| 03:28.52 | Arkenoi | well, if it is really $20, then there is no reason to bother yourself with protectors |
| 03:29.07 | DocScrutinizer51 | exactly my pov |

| 03:31.38 | Macer | well |
| 03:31.56 | Macer | i suppose i will turn my n810 running maemo4 and canola2 into something to hook up to some speakers and play mp3s :) |
| 03:31.59 | Macer | heh |
| 03:32.07 | Macer | seems to have lost its appeal as of late |
| 03:32.34 | Macer | wow canola2 is taking forever to install |
| 03:33.24 | DocScrutinizer51 | Macer: I'm still happy with my 810. Also for MP3 playback (frequently used mode of use) :-D |

| 04:02.47 | Macer | adapter? |
| 04:02.54 | w00t | UK = different power socket |

| 04:03.08 | Macer | haha. sorry. didn't think about that. would have gotten one from radio shack if i knew you needed it |
| 04:03.14 | DocScrutinizer51 | time on weekend? bah |
| 04:03.21 | w00t | nah, no worries, it's fine |
| 04:03.25 | w00t | I needed another adapter anyway |
| 04:03.29 | Macer | do you need a converter? i am not sure if it can handle euro power |
| 04:03.32 | w00t | it can |
| 04:03.36 | w00t | (checked that first) |
| 04:03.51 | Macer | ok :) so you just need a cheap plastic adapter? |
| 04:04.01 | Macer | no store in the area sells that sort of thing? |
| 04:04.02 | w00t | yeah |
| 04:04.06 | w00t | unfortunately not |
| 04:04.14 | Macer | that sucks. they sell those things all over the place in iraq ;) |
| 04:04.28 | Macer | then again. i think in iraq i ran into like 4 different types of outlets |
| 04:04.45 | w00t | hahaha |
| 04:04.59 | DocScrutinizer51 | use lab cables and clips ;-P |
| 04:05.12 | w00t | about the only place I -regularly- see them are electrical stores (a bit too far away from me, I have no car) or airports (which admittedly I am going to, but I'd like to play before) |
| 04:05.30 | w00t | so just ordered one online like a lazy bastard |
| 04:05.31 | w00t | :P |
| 04:05.38 | Macer | w00t: well. i wiped the SD and put the stock aios on it |
| 04:05.55 | w00t | *nod*, appreciated |
| 04:05.58 | Macer | i'm sure you'll get mer going on it.. good luck with that thing :) it had me about to run it over with my car |
| 04:05.59 | w00t | though god it is annoying. |
| 04:05.59 | w00t | :P |
| 04:06.09 | Macer | yeah. aios is horrible |
| 04:06.19 | Macer | they had a pic of some bullshit one in popular mechanics i think it was |
| 04:06.20 | Macer | a touchbook |
| 04:06.22 | w00t | *will be happy when it runs a sane environment* |
| 04:06.33 | Macer | and it was like all space age and shit.. NOTHING like the one i got :) it must be the touchbook5 or something |
| 04:06.47 | Macer | w00t: you will have to open the kb and add weights to it |
| 04:06.58 | Macer | so it doesn't tip heh |
| 04:07.08 | w00t | to be honest - the design seems ok, pretty much as i expected |
| 04:07.12 | w00t | yeah |
| 04:07.15 | w00t | definitely noticed that |
| 04:07.29 | Macer | i was going to do it but didn't see the point in the effort since i was going to ebay it after like 2 months of owning it |
| 04:07.36 | Macer | 1 of which it spent underneath my bed and forgotten |
| 04:07.37 | Arkenoi | Is Mer going to be useful on 700 or it is just PoC? ;-) |
| 04:07.40 | w00t | what annoyed you most about it? |
| 04:07.43 | Arkenoi | 770 even |
| 04:08.11 | w00t | Arkenoi: useful in what way? |
| 04:08.11 | Macer | w00t: everything :) |
| 04:08.17 | Macer | i honestly expected a better n810 heh |
| 04:08.25 | w00t | Macer: ..ah |
| 04:08.27 | Macer | with an os capable of performing like maemo4 at the least |
| 04:08.32 | Macer | with a REAL touch interface |
| 04:08.35 | Macer | the tipping |
| 04:08.40 | Macer | the random screen blanking |
| 04:08.46 | w00t | I suspect if they hadn't used.. what is it.. xfce(?) then they'd be further along |
| 04:08.47 | w00t | oh yeah |
| 04:08.49 | Macer | which i'm sure you will notice in aios soon enough :) |
| 04:08.50 | w00t | i got a screen blank today :P |
| 04:08.58 | Macer | it is like totally random |
| 04:09.02 | w00t | (i still play with it minimally on battery) |
| 04:09.04 | Macer | i tried everything to fix it |
| 04:09.06 | Macer | oh yeah |
| 04:09.12 | Arkenoi | w00t: usable replacement for 2007HE |
| 04:09.12 | Macer | the sensor that only works on 1 battery |
| 04:09.16 | Macer | uhm.... |
| 04:09.28 | Macer | the touch screen should have been more sensitive |
| 04:09.33 | Arkenoi | at least more stable than 2008HE |
| 04:09.40 | Arkenoi | which is almost unusable there |
| 04:09.44 | w00t | Arkenoi: forgive me, but I'm rather new to the scene :P |
| 04:09.45 | Macer | but worst of all. there is no real os for it that makes it suck less |
| 04:09.52 | w00t | so you'll have to be a bit more specific |
| 04:10.03 | w00t | Macer: isn't there a TB port already? |
| 04:10.07 | Macer | calling that aios beta .. is like... a massive overstatement as to where the os is |
| 04:10.15 | Macer | w00t: yeah. there is a mer port |
| 04:10.20 | w00t | nods |
| 04:10.21 | Macer | but mer was pretty alpha also ;) |
| 04:10.24 | w00t | right :P |
| 04:10.42 | Macer | i'd rather stick with the G1 or the n810 with maemo4. i think i've given up on the gadgets for a while |
| 04:10.45 | w00t | a lot of mer is atm, but I suspect it'll settle down in coming weeks/month or two.. |
| 04:10.57 | Macer | mer isn't bad. just the ui ;) |
| 04:11.07 | Macer | the base is great.. like running a portable ubuntu heh |
| 04:11.12 | w00t | nods |
| 04:11.15 | Macer | if you don't use the UI it's nice |
| 04:11.22 | w00t | ui is something i hope to work on. |
| 04:11.25 | w00t | well, am working on |
| 04:11.28 | Macer | but that kind of defeats the purpose of a tablet ;) |
| 04:11.42 | w00t | definitely |
| 04:11.53 | Macer | i wish maemo4 ran on it |
| 04:11.55 | Macer | then i'd use it heh |
| 04:12.12 | Macer | so far maemo4 is the best one i've used.. then again i haven't gotten an n900 to try maemo5 out |
| 04:12.19 | w00t | maemo5 is great. |
| 04:12.24 | w00t | I say that without having used maemo4 |
| 04:12.28 | w00t | but I have totally fallen in love |
| 04:12.39 | Macer | well.. i stil use my n810 with maemo4.. it does a great job for what it is |
| 04:12.47 | w00t | sure |
| 04:12.51 | Macer | and believe it or not sometimes you find an update here and there stil :) |
| 04:12.53 | w00t | like i said a moment ago, i er, came a bit late to the game |
| 04:12.57 | w00t | much as i regret it now |
| 04:13.22 | Macer | well maemo is hands down the best touch type OS i have used.. but then again there aren't too many out there |
| 04:13.31 | w00t | Stskeeps tried to talk me into n800 ages ago, but i looked at it and didn't see the point to yet another gadget, but that was also before i really started to (ab)use portable devices a lot |
| 04:13.35 | w00t | i use my laptop fulltime at home |
| 04:13.42 | Macer | well. i guess there are NOW :) but when i got my n800 i think the iphone and the n8x0 were the only ones pulling it off right |
| 04:13.58 | w00t | there are a lot now, but they still suck. |
| 04:14.11 | Macer | i haven't tried the new palm stuff but i heard it was ok |
| 04:14.26 | w00t | i boycott it on the basis of it being palm |
| 04:14.30 | w00t | *evilgrin* |
| 04:15.02 | DocScrutinizer51 | >:-) |
| 04:15.26 | DocScrutinizer51 | portrait mode. bah |
| 04:15.38 | Macer | haha |
| 04:15.39 | w00t | mm |
| 04:15.41 | w00t | who needs that. |
| 04:15.41 | w00t | :P |
| 04:16.07 | w00t | i actually got the n900 portrait mode bug the other day |
| 04:16.15 | Macer | ah well. have to do a couple things and get some sleep. glad you received it. international shipping makes me scared sometimes |
| 04:16.17 | w00t | which would have been great, had i not been demoing the n900 to about 3 people at the time.. |
| 04:16.27 | Arkenoi | well, back in 90s palm was pure evil and survived surprisingly long being awful shit |
| 04:16.41 | Arkenoi | but i guess they are not so bad now ;-) |
| 04:17.11 | Arkenoi | at least there are good ideas to steal |

| 04:18.28 | w00t | Macer: yeah, thanks :) cya around |
| 04:18.44 | w00t | Arkenoi: there was no alternative to them, unfortunately |
| 04:22.29 | Arkenoi | woot: there was. the only point of early palm was to make pda that costs $200, not $600 like others, in 1994. Everything since then was pure legacy and gory consequences of approaches chosen to implement that. Shortly afterwards, that makes a religion, mostly alike to modern Apple fags: "if it was not implemented in PalmOS, then it is useless bell or whistle" |
| 04:22.59 | Arkenoi | and religion survives almost ten years, damn too much for such a crap |
| 04:23.03 | w00t | oh, of course |
| 04:23.12 | w00t | but that $200 was a very big selling point |
| 04:24.45 | Arkenoi | They had at least two chances to redesign the whole OS and missed it completely, preferred to stay with outdated and incapable thing. |
| 04:24.54 | w00t | :) |
| 04:24.55 | Arkenoi | even changing CPU architecture did not help |

| 04:25.50 | Arkenoi | yes, that's a real miracle |
| 04:26.05 | w00t | a business that stands still isn't winning |
| 04:26.10 | w00t | it's atrophying |
| 04:26.24 | Arkenoi | back in 1994 i owned a prolinear pocket PC, it made circles around Palm |
| 04:26.36 | Arkenoi | though its design was already 5 years old |
| 04:26.57 | w00t | *nod* |
| 04:26.58 | Arkenoi | it was almost "Poqet" of 1989, just a bit faster cpu |
| 04:27.03 | w00t | other thing to consider is the marketing |
| 04:27.16 | Arkenoi | yep |
| 04:27.51 | Arkenoi | they proved the fact so-called "geeks" are just as incapable of independant thinking and being inquisitive as "general customers" |
| 04:28.16 | Arkenoi | just a bit different advertisement methods and everyone knows that "Palm is ultimate geek toy" |
| 04:28.27 | Arkenoi | though there were dozens of others |
| 04:28.40 | w00t | no different to what nokia is going for here really |
| 04:28.59 | Arkenoi | nokia made me wonder with communicator series |
| 04:29.02 | w00t | (with the possible exception of it probably being the closest thing to truth to have hit the market in a while) |
| 04:29.05 | w00t | oh god yes |
| 04:29.08 | w00t | communicator.. E90 was it? |
| 04:29.09 | Arkenoi | because it *WAS* ultimate geek toy |
| 04:29.30 | Arkenoi | but they marketed it for managers instead |
| 04:29.35 | Arkenoi | 9000 |
| 04:29.50 | Arkenoi | my first one was 9000i in 1998 |
| 04:30.08 | w00t | I'm not that old fyi |
| 04:30.17 | w00t | I was just leaving primary school in 1998 |
| 04:30.45 | w00t | but the E90, dear god, I strongly considered going for that before being told to wait a while and see whether anything more interesting happened |
| 04:30.49 | w00t | so I did, nearly going insane in the process |
| 04:30.52 | w00t | but now I have my precious |

| 05:04.53 | Pavlov | the g1 is horrible |
| 05:05.26 | Pavlov | w00t: well, winmo is basically still the same as winmo6 -- if they move to a ce6+ kernel or win7 kernel they're going to be much much better off... along with better apps, of course |
| 05:05.31 | Foxx | im not even going to start with my laundry list of gripes |
| 05:05.40 | Pavlov | ce6 runs at least 1.5x faster than winmo6.5 on the same hardware |
| 05:05.46 | Pavlov | maybe 2x |
| 05:06.45 | Pavlov | Foxx: the droid is pretty decent, but still needs more polish |
| 05:07.10 | Foxx | im not a fan of android right now |
| 05:07.17 | Foxx | great idea, bad implementation |

| 05:08.18 | Foxx | im half tempted to go back to my Moto' V635 |
| 05:09.07 | Pavlov | the good news though really is that people across the board are starting to put out really nice hardware and are making software stacks vastly better |
| 05:09.20 | Pavlov | a year from now the options should be pretty rediculious (maybe even 6 months from now?) |

| 05:12.39 | Foxx | never had/used one |
| 05:12.50 | Pavlov | ugh, openmoko was just bad |
| 05:13.10 | Foxx | my main gripe is that out of the box the G1 didnt work very well as a phone. Mostly software crashes, and the updates made it work |
| 05:13.17 | DocScrutinizer51 | ohh. so there a actually other phones that "don,t work as a phone"? |

| 09:43.34 | luke-jr | already short on keys |

| 09:48.51 | luke-jr | PaulFertser: any idea if, in designing hardware keyboards on handhelds, mapping an Esc/Cancel key to a combination (Fn+] for instance) is practical? |
| 09:49.47 | PaulFertser | luke-jr: well, for vim user that would be a disaster, so i think it should be configurable. I think it's acceptable provided you're not heavy vim user and alt/meta is present as a separate key. |

| 09:53.02 | luke-jr | PaulFertser: ok, C-[ then :p |
| 09:53.24 | luke-jr | PaulFertser: my question is, would it be practical to have a single physical key that sends that combination when pressed? |
| 09:53.26 | PaulFertser | luke-jr: of course there should be a physical key that sends C-[ if you use vim. |
| 09:53.38 | PaulFertser | luke-jr: but probably C-[ is about enough too. |

| 09:56.32 | joppu | crashanddie_mbp: :D I said build, I have the graphics ready, the building phase just doesn't work on Linux/Windows |
| 09:56.52 | crashanddie_mbp | joppu: care going into more detail? |
| 09:56.54 | PaulFertser | luke-jr: well, i've just tried using C-[ instead of hardware esc on my PC. Comfortable enough for me but i'm quite used to emacs-like bindings in general, so pressing C extra time is nothing special for me. |
| 09:57.11 | luke-jr | PaulFertser: I optimized the layout using Perl sources for key voting. |
| 09:57.34 | luke-jr | ShadowJK: for new hardware, but I recognize that many chipsets have a 64-key limit |
| 09:57.37 | DocScrutinizer51 | luke-jr: ctrl-[ isn't exactly a combo. after keycode to char translation it,s a single byte char |
| 09:57.45 | ShadowJK | ah |
| 09:57.55 | luke-jr | ShadowJK: N810's physical key matrix is only 11 wide |
| 09:58.14 | luke-jr | DocScrutinizer51: ok, but I mean from hardware to kernel :p |
| 09:58.23 | ShadowJK | hey you can put esc right of s |
| 09:58.25 | Lantizia | so any tips on N900 accessing the SD card? like how!? |

| 10:51.15 | ShadowJK | using the SDK repos on the device is a bit so-so. the tools part of it is mostly safe, but make sure you don't agree to anything apt proposes. |
| 10:51.25 | ShadowJK | extras-testing and extras-devel information can be found on the wiki |
| 10:52.27 | ShadowJK | Basically, only stuff in extras has been tested. -testing and -devel can be considered unsafe (and tools), only use them if you're prepared to reflash your n900 and dont mind losing settings/stuff on it, etc.. |

| 11:00.18 | luke-jr | slonopotamus: ... |
| 11:00.24 | slonopotamus | luke-jr, i'd move shift to the very left. |
| 11:00.52 | luke-jr | slonopotamus: even N810 has two shifts |
| 11:01.04 | lardman | Jaffa: yeah, well this is automake-tastic so I thought I'd try |
| 11:01.08 | luke-jr | heck, 2 and a half, since the right shift is wider |
| 11:01.10 | lardman | I think I know a way |
| 11:01.19 | slonopotamus | luke-jr, so holding it with one finder doesn't block access to letters for second finger |

| 11:02.46 | luke-jr | slonopotamus: that is why both mod keys are needed :p |
| 11:03.08 | luke-jr | slonopotamus: it is impossible for left thumb to reach keys on right side while right thumb holds mod key, and vice-versa |
| 11:03.13 | slonopotamus | ah, you want to use shift on the opposite side of key being shifted |
| 11:03.38 | luke-jr | I'm not certain it is possible to make a 1-finger keyboard... |
| 11:03.56 | luke-jr | though that would be ideal when driving |

| 12:15.56 | Jaffa | HAM doesn't scale to enormous package lists; so you're better off with `apt-cache search' and `apt-get install'. |

| 12:29.51 | jebba | JosefAssad: the installer is removing the stuff in /usr/share/doc/foo to save space. |

| 12:30.17 | JosefAssad | jebba: might prompt a rethink though since a lot of licenses go in there... |
| 12:30.29 | derf | There's even a /usr/share/doc/README |

| 12:31.09 | jebba | JosefAssad: yes, and the app manager doesn't list licenses either |
| 12:31.37 | DocScrutinizer51 | derf: you bet bash will be next pkg to install. Andfor not using appmgr: every second howto says "appmanager nukes your edits in sources.list, so better use appmngr to setup the repositories" |

| 13:38.41 | DocScrutinizer | flux: 8h of listening aka using the bt-hs HBH-DS220 |
| 13:39.33 | DocScrutinizer | flux: that's what I would guess as well, as I for sure used it for >2h and bat indicator wasn't that much at low end |
| 13:40.20 | flux | docscrutinizer, ok, nice to know |
| 13:40.46 | flux | I've been wondering if it's more energy-efficient to stream via bt or via FM, though |
| 13:40.59 | flux | I would need to measure that some day :) |
| 13:41.45 | SpeedEvil | flux: FM - by a wide margin |
| 13:42.19 | johnx | doesn't the bt chip have to be on to use the fm tuner? |
| 13:42.25 | SpeedEvil | FM is a low-power reciever only - it will use under 10mW or so. And it will presumably simply be connected to the speakers in some analog manner, meaning the CPU doesn't need to get involved at all |
| 13:42.27 | johnx | though it'd stay in low power mode I guess |
| 13:42.27 | flux | in that case a builtin FM receiver would be a nice thing to have in that |
| 13:42.47 | johnx | also, it's not connected to the speakers through analog |
| 13:42.58 | SpeedEvil | k |
| 13:43.17 | flux | it's funny btw how FM transmitter works without an external antenna, but receiving requires (?) it |

| 13:57.30 | cehteh | do the n900 audio apps use the dsp or the cpu? |
| 13:57.31 | SpeedEvil | cehteh: DMA means that the system has to be awake to DMA |

| 13:57.58 | TomaszD | thp, and also the plural forms |
| 13:57.59 | SpeedEvil | cehteh: I mean wake for ~1s, jam 10s of audio into a buffer, and power down 99% of the system, keeping only the DAC alive |
| 13:58.10 | SpeedEvil | DocScrutinizer: no - I need to read more crap. |
| 13:58.18 | FIQ | At least, there's a "status page" @ openpandora showing the progress |
| 13:58.30 | cehteh | SpeedEvil: well if you have to keep the main memory awake for dma or some buffer in the dac it wont be much of a change except for a lot more complexity and cost i assume |
| 13:58.42 | SpeedEvil | cehteh: yes, there is. |
| 13:58.49 | cehteh | note that you need an extra memory controler for this 1mb buffer |
| 13:59.00 | cehteh | well maybe a good idea, but pricy |
| 13:59.15 | SpeedEvil | cehteh: as for the main RAM to be alive, you need the SoC memory controller to be alive and ... I was assuming internal to the DAC/audio chip. |

| 14:00.41 | FIQ | heh, just saw that on nokia's official page |
| 14:00.43 | DocScrutinizer51 | SpeedEvil: you probably also could do DMA while CPU is completely asleep |
| 14:00.59 | flux | sinofenvy, when you installed the server, it asked for a new root password. so, login as root. |
| 14:01.00 | TomaszD | thp, really soon = ? |
| 14:01.06 | cehteh | yes you can do dma while the cpu is asleep |
| 14:01.08 | SinofEnvy | ah okay flux, cheers |
| 14:01.12 | flux | sinofenvy, I suppose you could set a password to the user 'user' and login as user also |

| 14:01.19 | thp | TomaszD: today, tomorrow.. hopefully :) |
| 14:01.23 | TomaszD | thp, ok |
| 14:01.28 | SpeedEvil | cehteh: CPU and memory controller are largely one though. |
| 14:01.49 | SpeedEvil | cehteh: If you can turn the CPU off, stick memory in self-refresh, the savings are quite high. |
| 14:01.54 | cehteh | yes but the cpu is very good in putting single functional units to sleep |
| 14:02.09 | DocScrutinizer51 | SpeedEvil: don't think so |
| 14:02.17 | SpeedEvil | cehteh: especially compared to waking every .1s to compute another .1s of data. |
| 14:03.01 | cehteh | i dont know how well that works on arm but i suppose every single thing can be put to sleep down to ALU, single FPU pipelines, Caches ... |
| 14:03.29 | cehteh | next big thing would be to offload as much audio playing as possible to the dsp ... |
| 14:03.30 | DocScrutinizer51 | SpeedEvil: keep in mind the TI special powersaving hw |
| 14:03.37 | SpeedEvil | yeah |
| 14:03.38 | TomaszD | thp, btw, I've completed my translation and fixed many issues spotted on the desktop version, also fixed some things for maemo, so it's good to go from my point of view :) |
| 14:03.59 | SpeedEvil | I've been feeling really horrid this couple of weeks - so haven';t been doing the digging I'd wanted to. Been in bed most of the day |
| 14:04.05 | flux | btw, another energy-efficiency thing I've been wondering about: which is more efficient, streaming 64kbps AAC+ or 128kbps MP3? |
| 14:04.07 | SpeedEvil | feeling a bit better today though |
| 14:04.09 | cehteh | SpeedEvil: well such buffering made me once think about if it is possible for the network stack too |
| 14:04.17 | SpeedEvil | cehteh: yes. |
| 14:04.19 | DocScrutinizer51 | SpeedEvil: it,s working automatically on a very finegrained subsystem basis |
| 14:04.20 | TomaszD | thp, having panucci in transifex would be great, also you need the bugtracker field |
| 14:04.33 | SpeedEvil | cehteh: but you need app/kernel support |
| 14:04.40 | cehteh | certainly |
| 14:04.43 | flux | streaming off the net over 3G (or wlan), that is |
| 14:05.04 | SpeedEvil | cehteh: I was wondering about a _hyper_ hacky thing - something like for example nice level 19 only got scheduled once every 30s, nice level 18 every 10. |
| 14:05.21 | GAN900 | johnx, see camkeyd yet? |
| 14:05.43 | SpeedEvil | cehteh: which would tend to bunch wifi. you for example nice xchat down to 19 on display going away, and it gets a slice of CPU every 60s |
| 14:05.46 | cehteh | SpeedEvil: thats partially possible ... nice 19 gets automatically the SCHED_BATCH scheduling class |
| 14:06.02 | SinofEnvy | so... can I access the files of the "mass storage mode" over SCP as well? |
| 14:06.07 | cehteh | well i would rather do that in a irc proxy |
| 14:06.14 | johnx | GAN900, installed, loving it. I wish two presses sent me to applications rather than (nothing)||(camera) |
| 14:06.15 | SpeedEvil | cehteh: yes - that's another good option |
| 14:06.32 | cehteh | cork alot of messages and batch them out |
| 14:06.44 | SpeedEvil | cehteh: I need to finish off my hacks around a web differential proxy, and get something working |
| 14:06.57 | cehteh | with variable delays, if the user is active then maybe every 250ms otherwise every 2000ms |
| 14:07.13 | flux | gan900, my installation opened both the camera and the process view, but it was from a few days back.. has it been improved? |
| 14:07.29 | SpeedEvil | cehteh: ebay.com/auction2 - if you've loaded ebay.com/auction1 in the (250M of cached data) past, it sends not the page, but a diff of auction2 against auction1 |
| 14:07.59 | SpeedEvil | cehteh: it seems to work quite well in some basic sums I did - but I need to do a proper actual working proxy |
| 14:08.10 | flux | sinofenvy, I haven't tried it [mass storage mode], but that sounds unlikely.. |
| 14:08.21 | flux | unless perhaps in read only mode |
| 14:08.25 | flux | (but even then) |
| 14:08.29 | SinofEnvy | hmm yeah okay |
| 14:08.35 | SinofEnvy | I didn't think it'd be possible |
| 14:08.38 | SinofEnvy | but I had a little hope XP |
| 14:08.50 | SpeedEvil | cehteh: both the proxy, and the remote proxy on a fast network share a cache context. |

| 15:24.34 | yabo | Anyone has a good slipcover for the n900 ? |
| 15:25.09 | cehteh | as soon my device is there i plan to build a hardcase |
| 15:25.19 | lcuk | i saw an n900 disassembly video |
| 15:25.32 | lcuk | in it, one of hte first things they removed was a plastic plate/block element |
| 15:25.36 | lcuk | which didnt appear to have a use |
| 15:25.44 | lcuk | iwonder if that space could be reporposed |
| 15:25.49 | SpeedEvil | hmm. It seems to partially boot. |
| 15:26.08 | SpeedEvil | but I suspect I need more peak current - the impedence of my measurement thingy was probably too high |
| 15:26.13 | cehteh | lcuk: well maybe the use of that element wasnt just clear to them |
| 15:26.20 | lcuk | of course |
| 15:26.25 | ShadowJK | maybe it just warped alot on the highspeed camera drop test, and they added that widget for extra stability |
| 15:26.27 | lcuk | but it looked like a spacer |
| 15:26.34 | lcuk | rather than a useful element |
| 15:26.37 | tigert | lcuk: those things could be structural |
| 15:26.43 | lcuk | indeed |
| 15:26.48 | lcuk | replace the structure with some silicon |
| 15:27.14 | tigert | it might be some stuff that takes impact on fall etc |
| 15:27.23 | tigert | those things are pretty crazy design |
| 15:27.31 | SpeedEvil | yeah. |
| 15:27.31 | lcuk | yeah |
| 15:27.35 | SpeedEvil | And not always obvious. |
| 15:27.49 | SpeedEvil | 'omg - it breaks -here- when it's dropped 1/10th of the time |
| 15:27.51 | DocScrutinizer51 | might be accoustic element |
| 15:27.58 | SpeedEvil | 'jam some rubber in there, see if it helps |
| 15:27.59 | DocScrutinizer51 | or antenna |
| 15:28.02 | lcuk | flip device over, take back cover off, left hand side |
| 15:28.46 | tigert | its like car or aircraft design |
| 15:28.50 | tigert | you take out some bit |
| 15:29.11 | tigert | and the structural strength can be very dramatically different |
| 15:29.26 | SpeedEvil | tigert: which you don't know until you crash it, and your feet fall off. |
| 15:29.42 | tigert | yeah |
| 15:29.51 | tigert | or the wings fold in the air :P |
| 15:30.02 | lcuk | its also equally plausible its just padding |
| 15:30.12 | tigert | given the amount of punishment the nokia phones can take without breaking... |
| 15:30.13 | lcuk | without being hw engineers for the platform we dont know |
| 15:30.20 | tigert | lcuk: that too yeah |
| 15:30.30 | tigert | its impossible to say without knowing the details |

| 15:43.10 | SpeedEvil | ~60Kg, 80cm*80cm, ~3Km altitude celing, stand-on board. |
| 15:43.19 | ShadowJK | it must be nearly impossible to maintain balance with jetboots.. |
| 15:43.29 | SpeedEvil | you're not maintaining balance |

| 15:53.00 | tigert | TomaszD: dont have time to look deeply into that, but looks ok at a quick glance |
| 15:53.06 | wazd | TomaszD: I dont have n900 |
| 15:53.34 | johnx | hmm, I think you end up covering part of artist/song/album when pressing previous/next |
| 15:54.13 | wazd | TomaszD: I'd rather make play/pause button and cover art same big rectangle |

| 15:54.59 | wazd | TomaszD: sure, cause in 90% of cases you need only play/pause button :) |
| 15:55.02 | TomaszD | johnx, yes I'm thinking about it |
| 15:55.41 | TomaszD | wazd, I'm sure you can come up with a concept we can look at, right now I can't visualize what you are saying, that's why paper concepts are useful |
| 15:56.07 | johnx | also, be reaching across the whole device from one side to the other, I think you're more likely to hit something accidentally |
| 15:56.42 | TomaszD | johnx, give me a concept without this issue |
| 15:56.54 | TomaszD | I don't think it's possible unless you keep all the controls on one side |
| 15:56.58 | lcuk | voice activated!!!! |
| 15:57.27 | lcuk | "computer, earl grey tea, hot" |
| 15:57.27 | johnx | TomaszD, if you keep the most important buttons on the bottom row you reach more "upwards" with your thumb |
| 15:57.31 | wazd | nurse! :D |
| 15:57.49 | johnx | I don't disagree about keeping the less used controls higher up |
| 15:58.13 | lcuk | i wonder whether skinnable media player would be useful |
| 15:58.20 | lcuk | to allow people to supply layouts |
| 15:58.28 | lcuk | which work for them - like old winamp used to have |
| 15:58.29 | johnx | QML? |
| 15:58.53 | TomaszD | I'm holding the n900 right now in portrait mode with the old panucci UI and the buttons on the top in the concept are exactly where my thumb naturally sits |
| 15:58.53 | lcuk | dunno, but the ui controls can technically be moved around with ease |
| 15:59.15 | johnx | old winamp skins were just pictures. you're thinking new winamp :P |
| 15:59.20 | lcuk | i dont use my 900 in portrait mode yet - the biggest limiting factor for me is lack of a dock |
| 15:59.40 | ShadowJK | damn this youtube, now I'm staring at 3dmasters |
| 15:59.48 | lcuk | my old pda used to have a neat little dock - i wonder if a replacement backcover could be done to allow it to rest in a dock and be charged |

| 16:02.29 | SpeedEvil | odd |

| 16:03.46 | SpeedEvil | -:>sin |
| 16:03.57 | lcuk | im just thinking, i like docks |
| 16:04.08 | lcuk | and if more and more is going portrait its something users will start to want |
| 16:04.30 | lcuk | its ugly atm to not have a way to keep it rotated |
| 16:04.31 | SpeedEvil | SinofEnvy: /etc/mce/mce.conf |
| 16:04.35 | johnx | well, you could dock charging and AV |
| 16:04.38 | TomaszD | not in portrait mode, it doesn't make sense to cover one of the speakers lcuk |
| 16:04.43 | kalikiana | DocScrutinizer51, I'll take it, reflash it and sell it for lots of money :-P |
| 16:04.46 | TomaszD | if anything, it's going to be a landscape dock |
| 16:04.51 | SpeedEvil | TomaszD: sure it does - in a proper dock |
| 16:04.53 | johnx | which makes sense to me, and leave transfers over wifi for the most part (also makes sense) |
| 16:04.55 | lcuk | same principle then |
| 16:05.00 | lcuk | i dock already in landscape |
| 16:05.07 | lcuk | but i still dislike the usb |
| 16:05.16 | TomaszD | SpeedEvil, you mean in something that would also have speakers built-in? |
| 16:05.22 | SpeedEvil | TomaszD: yeah |
| 16:05.33 | johnx | I just want mine for charging+AVout |
| 16:05.36 | TomaszD | this is getting too complicated and too costly :) |
| 16:05.47 | lcuk | nice idea johnx |
| 16:05.53 | lcuk | it also gets over the covered speaker thing |
| 16:05.58 | lcuk | cos you can have proper hifi speakers |
| 16:06.08 | lcuk | this is just a single plugin |
| 16:06.40 | TomaszD | johnx, charging and avout are on different sides of the device, there's a design/engineering task for you guys if you want a dock with those features |
| 16:06.49 | SinofEnvy | SpeedEvil: Can't open /etc/mce/mce.conf: No such file or directory |
| 16:06.49 | SinofEnvy | :O |

| 16:07.38 | wazd | TomaszD: do you need seekbar? |
| 16:07.45 | TomaszD | and it would be really really ugly having to put it in and out of the dock cradle |
| 16:07.54 | DocScrutinizer51 | bah, minox type cradle |
| 16:08.05 | ShadowJK | SinofEnvy, I use ctrl to turn it back on |
| 16:08.11 | TomaszD | wazd, seekbar is very useful for audiobooks, but we can get rid of it in portrait mode |

| 16:08.51 | SpeedEvil | john: the connector for the USB is a bitch to dock. You basically cannoy do it right without a seperate insertion mechanism that puts it in after you slam it in the dock |

| 16:09.19 | lcuk | well the wiimote has NO default charging capacity so one was make.. |

| 16:10.39 | lcuk | if indeed the internal usb pads are electrically connected |

| 16:54.27 | killefiz | TomaszD: I just skimmed through the manual (the german one that was in the box) and it doesn't mention anything related to the lock code. |
| 16:54.56 | TomaszD | hmm |
| 16:54.59 | killefiz | lcuk2: if you push the power button while the device is powered on there is a menu option "secure device" |
| 16:55.27 | lcuk2 | that would be why ive never needed a lock code |
| 16:55.50 | lcuk2 | it asks for a code to lock the device tho |
| 16:55.52 | lcuk2 | no default? |
| 16:56.03 | lcuk2 | if i tap outside the dialog it goes away |
| 16:56.07 | lcuk2 | ie still unlocked |
| 16:56.18 | lcuk2 | until i enter something |
| 16:56.23 | killefiz | lcuk2: the default lock code is 12345 as I have just learned |
| 16:56.24 | lcuk2 | to tell it what to lock |
| 16:56.36 | SpeedEvil | yeah - I found no obvious way of setting the lock code |
| 16:56.38 | SpeedEvil | which is bad |
| 16:56.42 | lcuk2 | i cannot lock it without entering my own code tho |

| 16:57.22 | TomaszD | wazd, any rationale behind this specific design (as a whole and in details)? |

| 16:57.33 | killefiz | SpeedEvil: 12345 |

| 18:35.50 | DocScrutinizer-8 | yeah, wtf? |
| 18:35.55 | Arkenoi | fuck nokia messaging. what a stupid idea to have support request routed to "general" nokia support. they returned me a call, promised to fix something on their side and nothing still, no fucking ticket number |
| 18:36.12 | nezb | google users those urls to track what I click on, apparently |
| 18:36.17 | timeless_mbp | yep |
| 18:36.27 | nezb | *uses :P |
| 18:36.50 | nezb | well, it's still a cool video |
| 18:37.23 | Arkenoi | the main difference of "consumer" vs "technical" support services is that "consumer" ones *NEVER* provide a tracking ticked and you *NEVER* know what happens there and if someone really works on it |

| 18:40.36 | Arkenoi | timeless, actually i have two - one is that i cannot set up a pop3 mailbox because stupid AI thinks that mail server should match domain name and simply refuses to register and second one even more annoying is that i have problem with outgoing email via google mailbox, two messages are there with permanent failure, one of those is to ContactCentre.Europe@nokia.com ;-) |
| 18:40.41 | RST38h | no, same sized icons |
| 18:40.48 | timeless_mbp | 'AI'? |
| 18:40.50 | RST38h | margins do seem to be bigger |

| 22:02.32 | andre__ | luke-jr, I've attended the keynote of RMS at GCDS conference this year. I felt offended by what he said |
| 22:02.48 | luke-jr | andre__: that's probably your fault |
| 22:02.55 | andre__ | luke-jr, why? |
| 22:03.03 | andre__ | because he makes sexist jokes about virgins? |
| 22:03.22 | luke-jr | wtf is he doing talking anything of the sort at a tech conference? |
| 22:03.34 | RST38h | andre: is RMS himself a virgin btw? |
| 22:04.27 | RST38h | also, did he carry that kettle and a plastic bag with teas all the way to the podium? |
| 22:04.44 | luke-jr | fine, maybe RMS is a nut |
| 22:04.46 | andre__ | RMS is like Michael Jackson to me. Both have done great stuff in the 80es and early 90es, but in this decade... let's forget about it. |
| 22:04.49 | luke-jr | but he's not ALWAYS *toally* wrong |
| 22:04.52 | RST38h | "maybe"? |
| 22:05.09 | luke-jr | totally* |
| 22:05.10 | RST38h | "not always"? |
| 22:05.33 | andre__ | luke-jr, well, being totally wrong is hard. Sounds like the "but Hitler has build motorways" argumentation to me ;-) |

| 22:44.05 | yabo | curious about the io scheduler they chose |
| 22:44.12 | ShadowJK | mmc type things run an emulation/translation layer that makes them look like block devices. Also, mmc command overhead is kinda large, which makes requesting small transfers relatively expensive |
| 22:44.48 | ShadowJK | the onenand is more "raw" access and ubi/ubifs does a much better job at turning the flash into a fast filesystem |
| 22:44.57 | DocScrutinizer51 | SpeedEvil: btw last boot actually freed some 20meg on / |
| 22:45.03 | ShadowJK | mmc/sd type things are really built for and optimized for huge files, like digital cameras and mp3 players |

| 22:45.34 | ruskie | go1dfish, of course you still have the prob that stuff in extras will get optified |
| 22:46.00 | go1dfish | I think I want to go with a 6 gig fat32 partition on microsd, for an ubuntu x86 usb image and various windows utils |
| 22:46.02 | ruskie | which is why I'd like to run my own autobuilder and repo so I can avoid the optification :) |
| 22:46.21 | go1dfish | and use the rest of the microsd as ext3 for chroot |

| 22:57.17 | ruskie | I thought only my mom did those regulary |
| 22:57.24 | yabo | so :( |
| 22:57.29 | timeless_mbp | ruskie: old out of date backups, created the first time they use a device |
| 22:57.31 | timeless_mbp | and never updated |
| 22:57.49 | lcuk2 | first time they encounter backup tool, they run it |
| 22:57.53 | lcuk2 | it does nothing interesting |
| 22:57.56 | lcuk2 | so forget its there |
| 22:58.12 | ruskie | it should actually ask to setup when to run it on first run |
| 22:58.32 | lcuk2 | on a schedule you mean |
| 22:58.35 | ruskie | yup |
| 22:58.42 | lcuk2 | that i actually agree with |
| 22:58.45 | yabo | is copying /usr/share to /opt and linking it back risky ? |
| 22:58.45 | ruskie | timeless_mbp, and I never was a normal user in the first place... not even when I got the first PC |

| 22:58.56 | lcuk2 | in times past there was a countdown between last run backup |

| 23:25.47 | Jaffa | DocScrutinizer51: meh, there's a difference between "bork" and "bork"; and with so many newbies coming into the channel it's worth being precise. |

| 23:25.53 | ruskie | one of the mimen |
| 23:25.55 | redeeman | johnx: well, it works if i don't use connection specific smtp servers, so obviously its not an issue reaching it |
| 23:26.01 | redeeman | and theres no limits on amount of connections whatsoever |
| 23:27.00 | DocScrutinizer51 | Jaffa: ok.Precisely it,s no option to reboot on inbound call when listening FM |
| 23:27.07 | johnx | redeeman, huh? so that SMTP server is the only one you have setup? |
| 23:27.32 | timeless_mbp | redeeman: having filed a fairly basic bug about connection specific |
| 23:27.36 | redeeman | johnx: i setup the same smtp server in connection specific for the connection, and in the setup for the email account, if i check on "use connection specific smtp server", it fails, if i uncheck it, it works |
| 23:27.41 | timeless_mbp | i'm not sure how well it was tested (if at all) |
| 23:27.55 | timeless_mbp | and i'm inclined to suspect the latter |
| 23:28.08 | DocScrutinizer51 | Jaffa: so prior to new gui I'd like to see this mixer issue fixed |

| 23:32.19 | go1dfish | not some sort of hardware damage, because I know mic issues were one of the most widely reported hardware issues with the n900 on maemo.org |

| 23:42.26 | DocScrutinizer51 | go1dfish: omg. why would you want to do *this*? o.O |
| 23:42.54 | javispedro | redirect sound |
| 23:42.59 | go1dfish | DocScrutinizer51: to stream audio to my n900 from my desktop |
| 23:43.02 | go1dfish | or vice versa |
| 23:43.02 | javispedro | ? ;) |
| 23:43.10 | go1dfish | or more immediately, as a way to get sound from apps in my debian chroot |
| 23:43.15 | ChubChub | ifreq if you goto his forums he talks of 3.6.7-1 and that the link on his page is quite outdated |
| 23:43.16 | javispedro | though you mean RTP or pulse native proto? |
| 23:43.38 | ChubChub | but I contacted him via maemo and he couldn't upload the newest one since it had been taken down |
| 23:43.56 | go1dfish | pulseaudio native over tcp yeah |
| 23:44.23 | javispedro | i think it's best to use SSH port redirection and manually fwd the cookies |
| 23:44.34 | javispedro | i kinda remember a program doing that.... |
| 23:44.59 | javispedro | can't find it, maybe it was part of NX |

| 23:45.30 | javispedro | bah, you clearly don't know what you're saying =) |
| 23:46.07 | go1dfish | javispedro: manually forward the cookies? over ssh? |
| 23:46.17 | go1dfish | I dont want to put the audio over ssh because there is enough cpu overhead as it is |
| 23:46.19 | henningms | Hi! Hopefully getting my N900 sometime this week. Just wanted to ask you guys what your impressions are? :D |
| 23:46.32 | go1dfish | and ssh would only work if I could get a tcp connection in the first place on the n900 |
| 23:46.39 | go1dfish | can't even connect on 127.0.0.1 to pulseaudio |
| 23:46.42 | javispedro | ah |
| 23:47.04 | javispedro | so you need to enter pacmd and load the tcp native module? |
| 23:47.43 | DocScrutinizer51 | ayayayyy |
| 23:48.00 | yabo | buh Nokia Updater doesn't find the phone |
| 23:48.06 | javispedro | disable-shm = yes... wha??' |
| 23:48.16 | DocScrutinizer51 | some said 'as there's enough overhead now' |
| 23:48.20 | javispedro | I just hope they know what they're doing |
| 23:49.11 | javispedro | hey, the default pulse has quite a lot of modules loaded |
| 23:49.19 | javispedro | we could potentially do the per-application mixer app |
| 23:49.22 | javispedro | s/do/port |
| 23:49.41 | go1dfish | javispedro: pacmd says no daemon running? |
| 23:50.02 | javispedro | where are you running it? |
| 23:50.07 | go1dfish | on the n900 |
| 23:50.14 | go1dfish | in xterm |
| 23:50.22 | go1dfish | tried as user and with sudo |
| 23:50.44 | javispedro | I guess that needs another unloaded module.. |
| 23:50.45 | DocScrutinizer51 | javispedro: per-app-mixer?? whatsthat? |
| 23:50.59 | go1dfish | DocScrutinizer51: you can set volume for individual apps as they are running |
| 23:51.03 | javispedro | DocScrutinizer: something flashy that wastes cpu cycles but manages to impress users |

| 23:51.42 | javispedro | with more flashyness, icons |
| 23:51.43 | go1dfish | its one of the cool things pulseaudio enables that everyone forgets when they bitch about it breaking everything else :) |
| 23:51.44 | javispedro | etc. |
| 23:51.54 | ChubChub | goldfish: quick question, you're trying to stream audio but you can't due to connection problems? can you install programs themselves from the app. manager? |
| 23:52.12 | go1dfish | I have no trouble installing programs |
| 23:52.15 | javispedro | and, tbh, the ability to do that on the fly which is something alsa lacked |
| 23:52.25 | yabo | ruskie, the nokia updater keeps saying that the phone is connected in "incompatible mode" |
| 23:52.26 | yabo | any idea ? |
| 23:52.31 | ChubChub | ahh ok, thought it might be related to somthing else |
| 23:52.40 | javispedro | yabo: use linux flasher |
| 23:52.43 | go1dfish | im trying to do some low level stuff, if your more of a casualish user you should ignore me :) im not trying to stream radio im trying to stream arbitrary audio from my other linux boxes |
| 23:52.45 | DocScrutinizer51 | jabhuh? please elaborate |
| 23:52.55 | peterq | can someone tell me which compiler was used to compile the preinstalled kernel for the n900? |
| 23:53.00 | microlith | mmm, spontaneous reboots |
| 23:53.05 | yabo | javispedro, argh, will have to reboot :) |
| 23:53.23 | go1dfish | I may have already well trashed my device, but havent had to reflash yet |
| 23:53.30 | go1dfish | my Firmware version does say (null) though heh |
| 23:53.46 | go1dfish | I don't even know what I did to make it do that, haven't done anything incredibly exotic |
| 23:53.49 | go1dfish | .. yet |

| 23:54.46 | DocScrutinizer51 | javispedro: what's that on-theffly mixing alsa allegedly can't do? |
| 23:54.49 | javispedro | DocScrutinizer: redirecting an app that has already opened a card to another card without the app requiring support |
| 23:55.04 | DocScrutinizer51 | k |
| 23:55.07 | go1dfish | DocScrutinizer51: to another system even |
| 23:55.19 | go1dfish | i..e I could redirect the output of amarok to my n900 |
| 23:55.29 | go1dfish | if it supported pulseaudio-native-tcp |
| 23:55.36 | DocScrutinizer51 | that's actually big advantage and big disadvantage of PA |
| 23:55.51 | go1dfish | it's a disadvantage for realtime audio certainly |
| 23:55.57 | go1dfish | that's what JACK is for ;) |
| 23:56.04 | javispedro | PA doesn't really has disadvantages if you don't have a hw mixing card |
| 23:56.07 | javispedro | s/has/have |
| 23:56.13 | DocScrutinizer51 | usually the app *wants* to know exactly about ptoperties of audodev |
| 23:56.30 | javispedro | (especially _older_ versions of it) |

| 23:58.24 | DocScrutinizer51 | both |
