00:03.01 | blackthorne | meego isn't dead? |
00:03.20 | blackthorne | i've heard that partnership with Microsoft for the high range smart phones |
00:07.07 | DocScrutinizer | meego is a pile of sourcecode, it can't die. The question is who's keeping up the support and development for it, for which platform, on which level |
00:07.17 | Sc0rpius | and who will care |
00:07.28 | DocScrutinizer | Intel will, of course |
00:07.31 | Sc0rpius | if there are no devices for it, nobody will care. |
00:07.36 | DocScrutinizer | not for handset UX though |
00:07.42 | Sc0rpius | then for netbooks? |
00:08.58 | DocScrutinizer | there's no such thing like a device for an OS. There's OS support for devices, and that's the question, as mentioned above |
00:10.48 | Sc0rpius | we'll see |
00:10.48 | Sc0rpius | to me it's dead right now. |
00:10.49 | Sc0rpius | who will develop applications to an OS that is not sold in any device? |
00:10.49 | Sc0rpius | nobody will. |
00:10.49 | DocScrutinizer | that's a much better way to put it |
00:10.49 | DocScrutinizer | and yes, I agree on that |
00:12.57 | Ken-Young | If there's a decent meego phone released, I'll at least port some code for it. |
00:13.58 | blackthorne | DocScrutinizer: even though, I think Sc0rpius was trying to figure out for what devices does MeeGo will offer support for, putting the things the way you want it |
00:14.32 | blackthorne | netbooks? tablets? |
00:14.43 | DocScrutinizer | obviously not for handset UX |
00:15.46 | DocScrutinizer | Intel is in tablet business aiui, then I heard some car manufacturer is planning to use meego for entertainment (dummy up the childs on backseat) |
00:16.00 | blackthorne | the stock owners, mostly non technical guys seem to be right this time when punishing Nokia for lack of focus |
00:16.04 | Ken-Young | Does the fact that Microsoft is not pushing WP7 for tablets, combined with the mothballing of meego, mean that Nokia has no tablet ambitions at all anymore? |
00:16.21 | blackthorne | Ken-Young: Microsoft has software for tables |
00:16.23 | blackthorne | tablets |
00:16.40 | Ken-Young | blackthorne, But not WP7-based, as I understand it. |
00:16.49 | blackthorne | actually they started long time ago, before Apple |
00:17.01 | blackthorne | Ken-Young: it's enough to take out room for Nokia |
00:17.08 | DocScrutinizer | Elop said they'll ship a meego *device* in 2011. I suspect that'll be a tablet |
00:17.17 | Ken-Young | blackthorne, Aren't they pushing a derivative of regular Windoze for their tablets, though? |
00:17.42 | blackthorne | Ken-Young: yes, that's why I don't see nothing good out of it for Nokia |
00:18.02 | blackthorne | Nokia bet a lot with Qt, what are they going to do with it? |
00:18.09 | Pavlov_ | i doubt they do anything with Qt |

00:20.02 | ieatlint | i don't have the details of the actual sale of qt to nokia, but http://www.kde.org/community/whatiskde/kdefreeqt_announcement.php implies that they left an option for the kde foundation to release qt under a bsd licence |
00:20.18 | alterego | blackthorne: it's not an experiment. It is a real project, a project now that Nokia will only be using for innovations and r&d. |
00:20.20 | ieatlint | blackthorne: yes, it's LGPL and GPL for free i think |
00:20.42 | blackthorne | ieatlint: but that was Trolltech property. KDE had anything to say about it? |
00:20.51 | alterego | blackthorne: the platform is still under development and still has a good chance to be the future. |

00:21.46 | blackthorne | I've read that Symbian is still going to be used! So it's WM7, Symbian, MeeGo for Nokia? 2 of them have to go |
00:22.09 | ieatlint | and when one of the two major partners of meego drops out, it takes a platform that would struggle for acceptance and subjigates it even more |
00:22.14 | _trine | what I want to know is,, is the channel name going to change to microgo |
00:22.20 | timeless | blackthorne: you missed s40 |
00:22.24 | alterego | ieatlint: hasn't happened yet, and people have been saying that will happen after the first meego device is released. |
00:22.27 | SpeedEvil | Meego is producing one more device withnokia. |

00:22.42 | timeless | SpeedEvil: no, we're producing *one* device |
00:22.47 | ieatlint | SpeedEvil: they committed to meego as their major platform too |
00:22.55 | timeless | we (MeeGo) have produced *zero* devices to date |
00:23.04 | SpeedEvil | timeless: Err - yes |
00:23.08 | timeless | our previous incarnation (Maemo) produced one phone :) |
00:23.13 | ieatlint | the n9 is cancelled, nokia has decided meego will not be a major platform for them... they did say they would produce a device, but i wouldn't count on it |
00:23.25 | SpeedEvil | They also said it'd be a phone. |
00:23.33 | SpeedEvil | That may have been a mis-statement in passing though. |

00:28.28 | ieatlint | timeless: yeah, and they hired a new ceo to turn around their falling profits and eliminate things that didn't make sense |

00:36.00 | DocScrutinizer | anyway, key point of my question has been "YOU (meego division of Nokia) are building a device"? |

00:36.17 | timeless | well, that's what the press release said |
00:36.22 | timeless | i have to trust it |
00:36.53 | DocScrutinizer | yeah, but press release didn't mention WHO is building the meego-related product |

01:25.16 | jonwil | What was wrong with your N900? |

01:25.37 | mikki-kun | i have seen quite a few devices so far and the G2 and Nexus 1 look nice, as does Moto Defy (is a bit sturdy, at least from the looks) |
01:25.42 | mavhc | the point is you don't have to close apps |
01:26.20 | DrGrov | EdLin: What are the prices on the HTC HD2 at the momen? |
01:26.20 | pupnik | nox-: well yes |
01:26.21 | jonwil | yeah the HTC HD2 seems to be the "little phone that could" |

01:26.37 | EdLin | DrGrov: free on contract refurbished, t-mobile is retiring it. |
01:26.42 | budfive | anybody played with the webos devices? pre looked pretty interesting a while back |

01:27.01 | nox- | pupnik, and that when most)?) apps are java too? how much ram do androids usually have? :) |
01:27.04 | EdLin | DrGrov: if you want it without a contract, you can get it for a little over $200 on ebay. |
01:27.13 | mavhc | moving from maemo to webos would just be being awkward |
01:27.14 | jonwil | I dont drink alcohol :) |

01:27.25 | EdLin | DrGrov: tmobile us will give you the unlock code after 40 days. |
01:27.36 | DrGrov | What is the easiest way to get music on the Galaxy 3? Via memory card perhaps? |
01:27.37 | jonwil | I considered webos when I was shoping for my new phone but then HP bought Palm and I have blacklisted HP |
01:27.38 | pupnik | webos devices don't have landscape keyboard |

04:13.28 | GeneralAntilles | I can't believe I didn't see it coming. |
04:13.34 | GeneralAntilles | Self delusion, I guess. |
04:13.48 | Ken-Young | Right up until Friday morning I was a believer. |
04:13.51 | zerojay | Let's see... having the basic message be "we don't want community" from the start was great. |
04:14.05 | zerojay | Including hiring a community manager that did nothing but push people away. That was pretty cool. |
04:14.18 | timeless | GeneralAntilles: at least they led you guys around |

04:15.08 | Ken-Young | There's leadership - leadership from Redmond. |

04:15.50 | GeneralAntilles | zerojay: well, I think they had an opportunity to make something happen with MeeGo last year. |
04:15.57 | GeneralAntilles | But I don't know why they squandered that away. |
04:16.12 | timeless | GeneralAntilles: management insisted on changing directions a number of times |
04:16.23 | timeless | and generally there was no punishment for doing this |
04:16.29 | timeless | just 6month setbacks |
04:16.35 | zerojay | The only way I felt that there was going to be any sort of chance of anything really happening was if they stayed on Maemo and continued on with it. |
04:16.42 | zerojay | Instead, they threw it all out and started over. |
04:16.53 | pupnik | i felt that way too zerojay |
04:16.57 | timeless | zerojay: power struggles work that way |
04:17.00 | timeless | we lost ours |
04:17.06 | timeless | my team lost more than most |
04:17.18 | GeneralAntilles | zerojay: Maemo had not long term viability. |
04:17.24 | zerojay | Then they didn't have anything on the high-end phones.. so they pushed Maemo/MeeGo out into the limelight WAY before it was ready. |
04:17.34 | GeneralAntilles | timeless: hopefully the dinosaurs will die off sooner rather than later. |
04:17.46 | timeless | GeneralAntilles: i was initially worried |
04:17.50 | GeneralAntilles | A multi-vendor platform is the only answer to Android. |
04:17.56 | zerojay | But I always felt that MeeGo being #1 for them was always a stop-gap measure to keep people happy until they had something else. |
04:18.05 | timeless | the announcement only showed a couple of casualties |
04:18.08 | Ken-Young | zerojay, Well, if they hadn't have pushed it out then, we'd probably have no maemo devices at all. |
04:18.13 | zerojay | I just never guessed it would have been "use another company's OS", honestly. |
04:18.13 | timeless | but i've heard of a couple since the announcement |
04:18.26 | zerojay | Ken-Young: We already had a Maemo device. |
04:18.32 | timeless | zerojay: the os isn't so important |
04:18.38 | timeless | it's the ecosystem, which includes a store and apps |
04:18.41 | pupnik | you guys are the best community though ... <sniff> |
04:18.45 | timeless | remember nokia's store was....Ovi |
04:18.45 | Ken-Young | zerojay, But that one wasn't really ready either. |
04:19.04 | zerojay | They weren't pushing it as the company savior at the time. :) |
04:19.18 | timeless | MS's marketplace solves the 'ovi' problem |
04:19.36 | pupnik | i thought apt-get solved the 'ovi problem' |
04:19.44 | timeless | as for apps, i don't think Ovi managed to attract many apps |

04:20.14 | timeless | Ken-Young: the symbian guys have been dead for years |
04:20.18 | GeneralAntilles | Probably Symbian most immediately. |

05:16.22 | rm_you | yeah i have that problem at work... we are rewriting search forms and we changed them from "pages and pages of text-boxes for each specific attribute related to a thing" and made it more google-like, in that now it's one box that just searches over all the same information as before, but all at the same time. turns out users are too stupid to understand how to search for things that way |
05:17.17 | rm_you | they type in "dog" and complain because they get like 10,000,000 results, and the top one isn't "the lifespan of a cocker-spaniel with diabetes", and then complain that our search doesn't work |

07:41.50 | sgev | RST38h: in roaming |
07:41.54 | sgev | but i mean if you want to trace someone |

07:42.49 | ketas | i don't understand either |
07:42.58 | sgev | if a phone is list, like a GSM phone i mean |
07:43.03 | sgev | how do you track it |
07:43.10 | TheJ | imei? |
07:43.11 | ketas | like a blacklist? |
07:43.37 | sgev | yes IMEI |
07:43.46 | sgev | can the IMEI be changed or something? |
07:43.47 | RobbieThe1st | If the original sim is in it, you can probably ask for the location. Several countrys have blacklists of IMEI numbers; a blacklisted IMEI won't be allowed on the network |
07:43.49 | ketas | you want to change imei?! |
07:43.53 | sgev | not i |
07:44.02 | sgev | can people change it so they're not being tracked? |
07:44.15 | ketas | how this helps |
07:44.16 | sgev | ah |
07:44.22 | TheJ | put a tin foil hat on? |
07:44.30 | ketas | you can switch a phone |
07:44.39 | RobbieThe1st | Someone could turn it off, or remove the sim |
07:44.40 | RST38h | IMEI has nothing to do with SIM cards |
07:44.44 | RST38h | Cards have IMSI |
07:44.56 | sgev | well i mean tracking a phone and the sim |
07:44.59 | sgev | which is IMEI and IMSI |
07:45.06 | sgev | if they do turn it off, then? |
07:45.12 | RobbieThe1st | Mind you, if someone wanted to sell a stolen phone, they'd probably sell it overseas |
07:45.16 | RST38h | sgev: Ok, your question is best to be answered at www.google.com |
07:45.23 | sgev | but there is no way to circumvent the SIM to make it untraceable is there? |
07:45.38 | ketas | untraceable sim? |
07:45.39 | sgev | the oly possible way is they turn it off or remove the SIM |
07:45.43 | RST38h | Because it is really difficult to understand what you are asking about, but Google may figure it out, eventually |
07:45.51 | sgev | im asking if im lost my phone |
07:45.53 | sgev | can it be traced |
07:45.57 | TheJ | use a old phone thats imei is not registered, and an prepaid sim |
07:46.08 | RST38h | sgev: Yes, theoretically it can be traced by IMEI |
07:46.13 | sgev | ok |
07:46.14 | ketas | yes |
07:46.21 | sgev | and tracing the SIm too? |
07:46.22 | RST38h | sgev: Practically, you are out of luck because nobody will be doing this for you |
07:46.28 | ketas | yes |
07:46.35 | ketas | sim can be tracked too |
07:46.40 | RobbieThe1st | You can install custom software for tracking it |
07:46.42 | RST38h | Nobody will use your SIM card, so forget about IMSI |
07:46.46 | sgev | ok and nobody can actually manipulate the inner workings of a SIm to make it untraceable can they |
07:47.00 | RST38h | Throwing away the SIM card is the first thing a thief would do |
07:47.14 | ketas | well sim is supposed to be subscriber identifying module |
07:47.20 | sgev | yes but they wouldnt try to modify anything in there to make te SIM work and still not get caught? |
07:47.21 | RST38h | sgev: You can throw the SIM away and then it is untraceable |
07:47.31 | sgev | i get that |
07:47.34 | RST38h | Good. |
07:48.24 | RST38h | So, do not repeat the same question. |
07:48.24 | sgev | but im asking if people do anything to the SIM to make it work that makes it untraceable? |
07:48.24 | ketas | sim is id of customer |

07:49.40 | ketas | i can log in and find it's location |
07:50.02 | sgev | and by the time they track your IMEI |
07:50.08 | ketas | then, if they are stupid, you can track phone's usage with imei |
07:50.10 | sgev | you'd be in who knows where |
07:50.18 | sgev | not wortht the effort |
07:50.59 | sgev | who does the tracking for the IMEI? |
07:51.09 | sgev | the local telco or the phone brand? |
07:51.11 | EdLin | sgev: if you don't want someone to know where you are, don't use a bloody cell phone. Finish. The police and courts routinely use cell phone records to trace alibis, for example. |

07:51.36 | TheJ | in my coyntry its the police with the operator |

10:05.20 | xkr47 | does anyone have some software for the n900 to automatically download the necessary stuff for agps to get going? |
10:05.44 | MohammadAG | AGPS works out of the box |
10:05.47 | xkr47 | for example when I connect my usb it could download the latest info so I wouldn't have to connect over 3g later when I go out hiking |
10:05.56 | MohammadAG | oh |
10:06.21 | xkr47 | now I activate some program using gps at home before I leave and then immediately turn it off |
10:07.13 | xkr47 | maybe I should just write a small program that just starts gps briefly when connected to internet over usb |

10:09.15 | xkr47 | korhojoa, ok thanks |
10:09.20 | korhojoa | flailingmonkey: it does indeed do that. i do think it stores almanac info too |
10:09.34 | korhojoa | so it would lessen the use of the data |
10:09.59 | flailingmonkey | would be helpful for it to do so |
10:10.05 | korhojoa | the almanac is what you need for getting the fast lock |
10:10.30 | korhojoa | that's how some gps navigators connect within seconds of powering on |
10:10.54 | korhojoa | tomtoms for instance "plug it in to your computer and enjoy fast locks for two weeks!" |

10:11.58 | chx | two weeks? and then? |
10:12.05 | jonwil | well finding out all the secrets of the GPS stack on Maemo is on my todo list :) |
10:12.07 | flailingmonkey | right because without the almanac info, it takes a lot longer to get a gps fix |
10:12.11 | alterego | chx: then you have to plug it in again. |
10:12.24 | chx | interestin |
10:12.42 | chx | honestly, the most exciting and most disappointing gps are the new garmins |
10:13.09 | korhojoa | how so? |
10:13.19 | chx | i dont drive and i travel lots and i was very excited about cityXplorer -- but 10 usd/eur for a map per city that does not include updates? is this a joke? |
10:13.22 | jonwil | right now though I need to finish my emerge update world on Gentoo, then emerge wireshark, compile the wireshark plugin and load this packet capture |
10:13.22 | korhojoa | their wristwatch models are interesting though |
10:13.44 | korhojoa | chx: 'acquire' the maps online |
10:13.55 | jonwil | Nokia Maps on the N900 is good enough for me as someone who doesn't drive |
10:14.00 | chx | as far as i am aware cityxplorer is the only offline gps that has public transportation info |
10:14.04 | chx | korhojoa: tsk, tsk |
10:14.10 | korhojoa | i'm now stuck without sygic since i got a new n900, so the imei changed |
10:14.13 | jonwil | since I dont drive, the top-down view is fine |
10:14.29 | korhojoa | there's a 3D view too |
10:14.31 | chx | jonwil: no public transport info in there. |
10:14.42 | jonwil | yeah that's the downside |
10:14.59 | psycho_oreos | there's GeePS, which utilises Google maps, but it has its own flaws |
10:15.08 | jonwil | I want to see someone write an open source GPS app using OpenStreetMap map data |
10:15.35 | jonwil | and then overlay General Transit Feed Specification data (which is what Google uses for its public transit stuff) on top |
10:15.35 | korhojoa | jonwil: AGTL uses openstreetmap data |
10:16.02 | alterego | Columbus will be use OSM |
10:16.08 | alterego | using .. |
10:16.23 | alterego | Columbus, what a fucking waste of my time. |
10:16.36 | korhojoa | how so? |
10:16.57 | chx | psycho_oreos: http://www.my-maemo.com/software/applications.php?name=Crochik_GeePS&faq=38&fldAuto=1940 this? public transit? offline? |
10:16.57 | alterego | I thought ... "Write a sleek GPS app" .. "It'll be mature and ready for the next device" ... |
10:17.04 | alterego | Ffffffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Nokia! |
10:17.06 | korhojoa | ahh. |
10:17.20 | jonwil | an open-source cross-platform GPS app with free map data that provides voice guidance and other important features would be a GREAT thing |
10:17.26 | korhojoa | well, just start over with WP7 (trollface.jpg) |
10:17.38 | alterego | :/ |
10:17.49 | korhojoa | heh. make it run on qt |
10:17.55 | alterego | I spent a year learning Qt and developing Columbus .. |
10:17.56 | psycho_oreos | chx, yes that. Not sure on public transit, doubt it. Offline mode? won't work, data isn't being cached I bet |
10:17.58 | korhojoa | qt runs on wp7, right? |
10:18.04 | alterego | korhojoa: no |
10:18.16 | korhojoa | or of it doesn't: make a qt lib for ot |
10:18.18 | korhojoa | it* |
10:18.33 | alterego | korhojoa: that seems to be one of Nokias agreements with MS, no Qt. |
10:18.39 | korhojoa | really? |
10:18.43 | korhojoa | FUCK THAT |
10:18.58 | jonwil | I think a lot of it is simply that WP7 is .net only |
10:19.04 | jonwil | and there is no .net port of QT |
10:19.19 | jonwil | even if there was a .net port of QT it wouldn't make cross-platform-ness any easier |
10:19.29 | ketas | be quiet and let microsoft do it's job, it will be gentle |
10:19.33 | jonwil | since .net and regular C++ arent the same |
10:19.35 | korhojoa | hahaha |
10:19.44 | korhojoa | ketas: "bend over, bite your lip" |
10:19.48 | ketas | yes |
10:19.57 | jonwil | I dont intend to sit there and take it from Microsoft |
10:20.04 | alterego | I heard WP development was mainly silver shite ... |
10:20.16 | jonwil | I havent spent a cent on Microsoft software in years and I have no intention to start now |
10:20.27 | jonwil | The only GOOD thing Microsoft makes is mice |
10:20.35 | jonwil | and even then they dont make the mouse I like anymore |
10:20.39 | ketas | microsoft doesn't make mice |

10:21.00 | ketas | korhojoa: hahaha |
10:21.06 | dotblank | its just rebranded |
10:21.16 | jonwil | maybe Microsoft has changed lately but I know that they used to make mice |
10:21.18 | korhojoa | ketas: it'd be fun if it wasn't true |
10:21.29 | jonwil | or at least did the design and stuff and then had an OEM makes them |
10:21.34 | korhojoa | jonwil: the original explorer series :3 |
10:21.43 | alterego | I got one of those wireless arc mice. Really nice :) |

10:22.58 | ketas | but hw? |
10:23.02 | ketas | nokia makes good hw |
10:23.21 | dotblank | we can build our own phones on the 8500 platform |
10:23.31 | jonwil | All the mice out there are wireless (which suck), tiny notebook mice (also suck) or "basic" |
10:23.40 | dotblank | http://www.stericsson.com/platforms/U8500.jsp |
10:24.09 | korhojoa | is that the dual cortex design? |
10:24.25 | alterego | I think this wireless mouse is very good ... |
10:24.41 | jonwil | All I want in a mouse is a decent optical sensor, nice large easy-to-hold form factor, standard USB HID interface (with no wireless) and nice big buttons (including the left and right side buttons) |
10:24.47 | jonwil | and a scroll wheel |
10:25.17 | jonwil | but no-one makes the mouse I want |
10:25.19 | APTX | has a razer mouse |

10:33.05 | RobbieThe1st | Well heck, if I've got to hack my phone, I'd want an x86-compatible chip at least... |
10:33.17 | RobbieThe1st | Then there's -no limit- to the stuff you could run |
10:33.32 | psycho_oreos | except it drains battery like hell and its more expensive |
10:34.09 | korhojoa | alterego: dgps + 3D video streaming and use the n95 as a reverse camera |
10:34.23 | ketas | i own older t60 |
10:34.28 | ketas | has both point and pad |
10:34.32 | ketas | sometimes point is good |
10:34.51 | RobbieThe1st | Psycho: Bigger battery, then! |
10:34.55 | flailingmonkey | lots of use of point and it starts to drift to one side |

10:35.15 | ketas | laptop's clit |
10:35.29 | RobbieThe1st | Release the clit for 30 secs, and it stops the drift |
10:35.43 | ketas | weird |
10:35.44 | flailingmonkey | i realized, but its frustrating that it happens at all |
10:35.45 | korhojoa | yeah |
10:35.50 | ketas | buggy hw? |
10:35.57 | psycho_oreos | RobbieThe1st, and that would add even more cost to the device itself :) have a look at aava mobile |
10:36.00 | korhojoa | it's because of how it detects movement |

10:53.59 | psycho_oreos | USB v3.0 has already been made but that has backward compatibility. I'm sure latter generations of USB should more or less also incorporate the same basic feature as the original USB v1.1 |

10:59.04 | psycho_oreos | plenty have been slain in the past |

11:09.03 | rzr | not /usr , du /home 1st |
11:09.11 | haltdef | it happens with different earphones, randomly flips them, gives me a heart attack when it does .. only pckage I can think of is headphone daemon |
11:09.15 | rzr | then /var/ |
11:09.36 | psycho_oreos | and I probably wouldn't use ln -s on those directories, if anything I'd do binding mounts, but heck I don't even have N810, only N900 |
11:10.06 | otwieracz | home and var summary takes about 60megs. |
11:10.12 | psycho_oreos | haltdef, it could be the jack that might be playing up, what about bluetooth headphones/headsets? |

11:10.56 | haltdef | everything's fine when I'm actively trying to fix it ofc |
11:11.18 | psycho_oreos | define actively fixing |
11:11.40 | haltdef | trying to make it happen, googling, asking you guys |
11:11.48 | haltdef | I have no idea what's going on :P |
11:12.31 | psycho_oreos | no tinkering with the audio jack in the process? like twisting the head of the jack whilst its plugged into the device? |
11:12.42 | DocScrutinizer | jaska: we got 2G since ~20 years now, and I can't see it vanishing any time soon |
11:12.48 | psycho_oreos | s/twisting/turning/ |
11:13.02 | haltdef | nope |
11:13.21 | haltdef | it'll switch them when the device isn't being touched |
11:13.31 | ketas | how this can change channels? |
11:13.36 | ketas | the plug |
11:13.47 | otwieracz | rzr: maybe some dirs from /usr? |
11:13.49 | psycho_oreos | and the only pair that you have which doesn't have noise cancelling and sounding awful is wired or wireless (bluetooth)? |
11:13.59 | DocScrutinizer | jaska: 3G is here since some few years and will live on for long time |
11:14.15 | haltdef | I haven't tried bluetooth yet, might be worth a try |
11:15.12 | psycho_oreos | I'd give that a try if you do happen to have bluetooth headphone/headset with of course the usual speakers covering both left and right ear.. not those stupid one sided based headsets |
11:15.31 | psycho_oreos | if it does it there, then its a software issue, otherwise it might be a hardware issue |
11:15.37 | haltdef | yea I have a2dp ones |
11:15.43 | rzr | Jartza: yea 400 EUR in france too |
11:15.49 | DocScrutinizer | jaska: after 3G we get LTE which is "Long Term Evolution", meant to be even longer perspective, and afaik has 3G compatibility as inherent feature |

11:18.02 | DocScrutinizer | haltdef: oh, your weird R/L issue again? |
11:18.13 | haltdef | still |
11:18.57 | haltdef | n900 has been misbehaving a lot recently, random hangs, battery draining in standby .. considering it's *just* a phone and mp3 player now (got a viliv n5, pocketable win7) it's starting to upset me heh |
11:19.06 | DocScrutinizer | given the insanely complex software side of maemo audio that will be a hard one to track down |
11:20.13 | psycho_oreos | it might even be linked to hardware faults |
11:20.48 | psycho_oreos | s/faults/faults or defects/ |

11:21.11 | haltdef | don't fancy going back to my xperia x1 if so :P |
11:21.38 | DocScrutinizer | on ALSA I'd suggest to plug in a type-file-plugin someway down the audio stream, close to "DAC" aka audio card, and see if the recorded file also has the switches, which would mean it's a mere sw issue |
11:22.32 | DocScrutinizer | there are odds it actually is a I2S interface getting out of sync, which easily could cause L/R swap |
11:23.09 | DocScrutinizer | or simply "somebody" swapping channels in didital or analog in codec chip |

11:33.46 | DocScrutinizer | I'm waiting for my coffee to take effect, so just a suggestion: (haltdef) we might check if AIC34xx registers can get read and dumped by I2Cget/I2Cdump, so we could track down when something fishy is going on with audio mixer setup causing this L/R swap |
11:34.19 | haltdef | I have no idea what that means :| |
11:35.35 | otwieracz | rzr: So, i must reflash it? |
11:35.52 | DocScrutinizer | AIC34 is the mixer aka audiocard/ADC chip. It has a friggin lot of registers to to do all sorts of fancy things. It is hooked to CPU via I2C bus for control. You might be able to read out the registers using i2cdump tool |
11:36.40 | haltdef | so get a dump from that when the swap happens |

12:35.41 | DocScrutinizer51 | what friggin 500MB |
12:35.48 | SpeedEvil | FIQ: wander over to ##windows, and ask how to transfer files between two machines on the internet |
12:36.07 | FIQ|n900 | hrm, sounds like a good idea :p |
12:36.16 | FIQ|n900 | since most people in here uses linux |
12:37.00 | BCMM | i haven't read the scrollback, but is the n900 involved at all? the SMB server in extras(-something) is pretty good, imho |

13:08.34 | Pillum | lol xD |
13:08.53 | javispedro | either way I was going to get a list of packages that made that folder up, but saw that is stupid: all of the packages are named *-l10n-<lang> ;) |

13:17.04 | javispedro | RST38h: ACCESS is the current owner of both the old PalmOS and also BeOS |
13:17.11 | RST38h | javispedro: Ah you mean the state saving stuff... It is optional, and there is just a bunch of ways to implement it |

13:48.52 | psycho_oreos | DocScrutinizer, none, I guess it isn't :) just trying to find the header file via google and found a pastebin link which detailed that URL |
13:48.59 | Jaffa | would love a smaller, faster version of the N900 running a bug fixed and less power hungry version of Maemo 5. |
13:49.06 | lardman | X-Fade: ping |
13:49.15 | SpeedEvil | Lantizia: n900 sold _lots_ more phones. And will have a development community for some years. |
13:49.29 | Lantizia | RST38h, so you think Meego is dead and Maemo 6 is not going to be brought back? |
13:49.37 | EdLin | my n810 still has the occasional new software for it. |
13:49.45 | Jaffa | wonders about a mini-group going optimisation crazy in the CSSU |
13:49.47 | RST38h | Lantizia: dunno |
13:49.49 | Jaffa | ~CSSU |
13:49.49 | psycho_oreos | meego isn't dead, meego on nokia might be |
13:50.10 | FIQ|n900 | ~ssu |
13:50.10 | apt | methinks ssu is http://wiki.maemo.org/SSU |
13:50.12 | DocScrutinizer | duh |
13:50.14 | Lantizia | SpeedEvil, right but I don't want a development community that's just for one phone... it has a better chance of lasting MUCH longer if it was like android... device neutral. |
13:50.15 | Jaffa | psycho_oreos: MeeGo isn't dead *yet*, but it won't have long to survive unless another major consumer electronics manufacturer gets onboard in a big way... |
13:50.23 | RST38h | Jaffa: It is totally possible to implement Maemo5-like apps in QtQuick, on top of the same current Meego or maybe Android |
13:50.24 | EdLin | psycho_oreos: yeah, meego is going to live on at intel probably, they say they're planning to bring it to real mobiles - automobiles. |
13:50.37 | RST38h | Jaffa: As longas you can compile Qt there |
13:50.39 | DocScrutinizer | Jaffa: please teach infobot/apt about CSSU |
13:50.43 | Jaffa | Done |
13:50.44 | psycho_oreos | DocScrutinizer, guess I'll be interested in a copy of that :) wonder if dos1 has already finished uploading |

13:51.02 | DocScrutinizer | thnx |
13:51.03 | SpeedEvil | Lantizia: For it to be device neutral, there need to be devices for it to be neutral over. |
13:51.08 | SpeedEvil | Lantizia: And there basically aren't. |
13:51.11 | RST38h | Jaffa: It will not have all the backend stuff that comes with Maemo,but so what |
13:51.18 | psycho_oreos | Jaffa, though it has Intel and potentially some interest elsewhere.. one was also notably from fujitsu |
13:51.21 | Lantizia | SpeedEvil, sure any ideas what is a good thing to target? |
13:51.21 | SpeedEvil | Lantizia: At least not over phones. |
13:51.25 | Pillum | SpeedEvil: do you have pr1 3 installed? |
13:51.31 | SpeedEvil | Lantizia: Tehre are no good things to target. |
13:51.35 | Jaffa | psycho_oreos: How many devices do Intel manufacture and sell a year? |
13:51.54 | Jaffa | psycho_oreos: One netbook does not make MeeGo a core plank of their strategy like it was for Nokia |
13:52.08 | psycho_oreos | EdLin, yeah was telling that to Lantizia, well somewhat |
13:52.10 | SpeedEvil | Lantizia: There are no phones that you don't have to root (phones that you have to root means that they may go away next fw upgrade) |
13:52.36 | Lantizia | I was never interested in MeeGo... my interest has always lied in a ubuntu and/or debian initiative for a debian-based mobile orientated distro for 1 or more devices |
13:52.48 | Lantizia | And Maemo has the most talent to help lead that |
13:52.51 | psycho_oreos | Jaffa, no it doesn't but its too early to decide whether or not will meego die. I'm sure given time with the project being on schedule, it may get adopted elsewhere |

13:57.59 | Arkenoi | Actually Nokia has enough resources to make any its phone completely open (replace or buy out any component for which the manufacturer is not willing to release public specs peaceful way) and it would be almost unnoticeable expense compared to overall mobile phones budget. It is just not willing to. |

13:59.17 | Arkenoi | they kept weening this way since GEOS days, though they could buy GEOS out completely for a change |
13:59.45 | EdLin | Lantizia: sure, we could make a new phone os for the n900. They tried doing that with mer on the n810 to update it to have the latest maemo functionality, didn't work out all that well what with so much of the hardware still being closed. |

14:04.59 | Lantizia | We can be the underdog OS for people who want a true GNU/Linux mobile OS |
14:05.12 | Pillum | so, if you dont want to sent locale, is there a way to build locale-archive by your own? |
14:05.14 | Lantizia | especially for debian/ubuntu lovers who don't want crappy ipkg packages |
14:05.19 | EdLin | Lantizia: incidentally, I'm not just saying that because I have an hd2, but because it's a good target for an alternative OS. Namely, there are dozens of htc devices with similar hardware, and secondly, there's a large community on XDA that support alternative OSs. |
14:05.37 | Lantizia | exactly! |
14:05.45 | Lantizia | this doesn't have to be the end, it can be the beginning! |

14:06.16 | Lantizia | kerio, like fuck it does |
14:06.18 | EdLin | kicks the troll |
14:06.26 | kerio | ~busybox |
14:06.27 | apt | i guess busybox is the swiss army knife of embedded linux. It combines tiny versions of many common UNIX utilities into a single small executable. It provides replacements for most of the utilities you usually find in GNU fileutils, shellutils, etc. See http://www.busybox.net/. |
14:06.30 | kerio | ~optification |
14:06.30 | apt | i guess optification is a inventive duct tape workaround to reclaim space in fs root, done due to the fact the partitioning is FUBAR, or http://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/Maemo_5_Developer_Guide/Packaging,_Deploying_and_Distributing/Installing_under_opt_and_MyDocs, or ""OMG - I wish somebody had looked into FHS and moved /usr to eMMC"", or http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#PURPOSE2 bullet1,2 and fhs-2.3.html#PURPOSE16 sentence3 |
14:06.48 | kerio | and those are the two things that popped in my mind right now |
14:07.09 | Lantizia | kerio, nothing wrong with busybox on an embedded device...and optification is more of a need of the N900 hardware NOT maemo |
14:07.37 | DocScrutinizer | kerio: you meant |
14:07.40 | DocScrutinizer | ~messybox |
14:07.40 | apt | messy... err busybox is meant for lean scripting. Regarding all the missing options and immanent limitations (see su) it's not really the interactive shell of choice. A lot of people hate busybox because a lot of system integrators don't understand the difference between busybox and a decent user interactive shell plus unix utils |
14:07.45 | kerio | no, it's a stupid shit that was done because nobody at nokia could spend 20 minutes changing the boot scripts to only use /bin |
14:07.56 | kerio | like FHS specifies |
14:08.09 | kerio | it's most definetely not a need of the n900 hardware |
14:08.25 | kerio | there's also the stupid mydocs, the weird virtual directories that collect media files |
14:08.29 | kerio | pulseaudio |
14:08.32 | DocScrutinizer | Lantizia: BS, optification is an evil heritage from times where they didn't think about it |
14:08.34 | Lantizia | kerio, name me a more compliant GNU/Linux OS that has the popularity of Maemo for mobile devices? |

14:30.58 | psycho_oreos | Pillum, its modified, there's ja_JP as well as zh_{CN,TW,HK} on top of the standard one |
14:30.59 | RST38h | Jaffa: Something is telling me this order of priorities is pretty standard |
14:31.15 | psycho_oreos | Lantizia, no, but then you can probably get wet sanding paper to smooth it |

14:31.33 | psycho_oreos | Lantizia, and no that was just a wild guess, I've not done it before on mine |
14:31.34 | Pillum | psycho_oreos: but its from n900? |
14:31.44 | RST38h | Jaffa: Yes, but it should be a pretty sore itch |
14:31.52 | psycho_oreos | Pillum, from n900 with a few added locales |
14:32.07 | Jaffa | RST38h: Not having a phone which I can trust if I'm not near a power point/wifi all day is a pretty big itch. |
14:32.16 | RST38h | Jaffa: I.e. your qualitative analysis is ok, but quantative may be flawed :) |
14:32.20 | Lantizia | unfortunately I think the Nokia word-mark is taller than the tab outcrop itself... so you've still have a bit left behind |
14:32.27 | Pillum | ah ok thx |
14:32.34 | RST38h | Jaffa: It can be fixed by buying a different phone. |
14:33.42 | Jaffa | RST38h: Which one? Bearing in mind all my other requirements... |

14:41.08 | Jaffa | Price is the only differentiator. |
14:41.25 | RST38h | See WiinMo phones of 5 years ago, replace WinMo with Android, multiply sales by 100, and you get what we have now |
14:41.45 | RST38h | Many many relatively cheap, identical, mediocre handsets |
14:41.56 | EdLin | you can get an n900 new for $350 in the us, cheap for an unlocked unsubsidized smartphone. Only thing cheaper is some midrange android phones with worse hardware like the lg optimus one. |
14:41.59 | javispedro | RST38h: Android is the only mostly responsible for it; previously a sub$100 "phone" with crappy Symbian-clone (aka Nokla) or WM hand't a change. Now one with Android does |
14:42.07 | javispedro | *change |

14:45.23 | RST38h | maybe both... |

20:41.28 | cehteh | SpeedEvil: I'd agree why dont they just build good hardware and then leave the choice about the OS to the customer |
20:41.42 | cehteh | maybe even android ... |
20:42.17 | Venemo | why is it that the N900's modem consumes more power than it can draw from USB? |
20:42.22 | cehteh | no one says that they have to develop and support all this OS'es by themself, as long the specs are sufficiently free and drivers available |
20:42.33 | flailingmonkey | http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/13/nokia-hints-well-see-first-windows-phone-7-device-this-year/ |
20:42.49 | pupnik | Elop is not stupid â he is 7th largest personal shareholder in MS, |
20:42.57 | cehteh | Venemo: because usb can only provide 500mA .. or 1.5A with charger conneced |
20:43.13 | Venemo | cehteh: and the modem consumes more? |
20:43.42 | johnx | Venemo, not by itself, but you *could* get the phone into a state where it's using more power than it can get from USB |
20:44.06 | johnx | full brightness, max CPU clock, SD card access, cell modem TX at full power |
20:44.16 | cehteh | pupnik: well we may talk in a few years about it, but i see that it is either a dead horse OR nokia becomes a windows hardware company .. both is bad for its currentl customers, no matter about elop's assets |
20:44.28 | Jaffa | Venemo: pong |
20:45.10 | Venemo | Jaffa: "The Community SSU already contains rewrites of two closed source control panel applets with the added feature of portrait mode support." -> portrait mode support? where? |
20:45.20 | flailingmonkey | and bad for its current developers |
20:45.35 | cehteh | yeah .. well nokia pissed everyone .. |
20:45.40 | johnx | heh. Somehow it feels almost poetic to be considering buying a WP7 phone with the full intention of never booting it into WP7. Reminds me of running linux on whitebox Windows PCs from the '90s :) |
20:45.54 | cehteh | mostly its developers and community, which is really a shoot in the foot for them |
20:45.59 | Jaffa | Venemo: The "TV out" and "notification LED" applets both support portrait mode now. |
20:46.10 | Venemo | Jaffa: oh, that's nice |
20:46.14 | Jaffa | Venemo: A few more and http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=832478 can be a reality |
20:46.22 | flailingmonkey | pupnik: he'd have been able to sell his MS shares, but once they started talking about that partnership he could no longer do so. he isn't allowed to buy/sell when he has inside knowledge that hasn't been announced to the public |
20:46.22 | johnx | cehteh, and they trade that for everyone developing for WP7. I suppose they consider that a fair trade. Otherwise they wouldn't have done it |
20:46.24 | cehteh | what about an open BME? |
20:46.45 | cehteh | who of the devs here will migrate to wp7, raise hands please .. |
20:46.49 | flailingmonkey | he'll get a big chunk of Nokia stock, so he will have to keep Nokia afloat for a while |
20:47.07 | Venemo | johnx: "considering buying a WP7 phone with the full intention of never booting it into WP7" -> no need to. there'll be better alternatives by then |
20:47.28 | Venemo | cehteh: I will migrate to MeeGo :P |
20:47.33 | johnx | cehteh, I think this channel tends to be linux fans, not nokia fans. These people will go where Linux is (maybe some to Android) |
20:47.36 | cehteh | for a consumer there might be not that big difference (while i still think smartphone consumers think before they buy and have reasons for their choice) |
20:48.14 | cehteh | but for a linux based developer community (unless you run a shop which already does ios apps or so) its very likely a no-go |
20:48.23 | pupnik | who else has a community |
20:48.38 | cehteh | android is not linux and not free (for a lot reasons) |
20:48.56 | johnx | Venemo, I know, but it seems so ... nostalgic in a way. "The more things change, the more they stay the same." That kind of thing |

20:49.47 | Venemo | cehteh: yes, but it doesn't need the android crap |
20:49.47 | Jaffa | johnx: Correct. I don't care about Nokia (apart from some of the people I've come to know), but I did care about the platform which met my usecases best :-/ |
20:49.54 | cehteh | but really on android there is a linux kernel somewhere .. but there is no free choice of tools |
20:50.09 | Venemo | Jaffa: 100% agreed |
20:50.11 | Venemo | cehteh: yeah |
20:50.29 | cehteh | yes .. my first thought where also about the linux people i know and work there |
20:50.41 | BCMM | wmarone: it isn't even linux... it's an increasingly incompatible fork of the linux kernel |
20:50.44 | johnx | cehteh, kinda. but it's gonna be full of drivers that you can't really use with a normal distro |
20:51.09 | RST38h | and the reason for this discrepancy? |
20:51.30 | cehteh | when my n900 dies someday i consider the next 'free, open' phone no matter who produces it |
20:51.30 | Venemo | BCMM: 100% agreed |
20:51.35 | flailingmonkey | the really concerning issue is that Nokia's approach to open source will soon by like Microsoft's approach to open souce: an unfunny joke |
20:51.56 | Venemo | flailingmonkey: :( |
20:52.03 | johnx | RST38h, errr? are you asking why people write crappy drivers? |
20:52.12 | cehteh | well and with the gta04 announed i bite in my ass .. never expected that it gets an upgrade path, thats kindof awesome .. even if its ugly as hell |
20:52.26 | pupnik | BCMM: increasingly? can't it be merged? |
20:52.39 | RST38h | johnx: Yes, I am asking if there is a specific reason to write stuff based on linux kernel but incompatible with linux base |
20:52.46 | wmarone | cehteh: gta04 is a non-starter if it's behind the times in terms of connectivity like the previous hardware was |

20:54.34 | admiral0 | where does multiboot search kernels? |
20:54.38 | johnx | RST38h, Getting stuff into mainline is too longterm of a goal for companies to be able to approach with rationality. So they right drivers that are quick hacks but are never of the quality required to get into mainline. They hack up anything in their path, not worrying about whether it breaks other drivers or doesn't work on different architecture |

20:55.55 | johnx | RST38h, it does. that's probably part of why some phones don't get newer versions of android. It gets too expensive to forward port the drivers |

21:09.58 | dangergrrl | maemo is language neutral, you can write gtk apps in any programming language |
21:10.34 | Venemo | dangergrrl: you can for meego too, as long as you have a compiler for it |

21:11.14 | Venemo | dangergrrl: so then program in C |

21:11.39 | Venemo | dangergrrl: not that I know of. but you can use Gtk too |
21:11.48 | norayr | dangergrrl: for sure |
21:11.49 | dangergrrl | oh, i thought they dropped gtk |
21:11.58 | Venemo | dangergrrl: not really |
