| 21:24.51 | javispedro | a big scary warning for the #n950club |
| 21:25.02 | javispedro | you should NOT buy things from the ovi store using the n950 |
| 21:25.27 | javispedro | support will outright refuse to serve you, so if there's _ANY_ single problem with say your CC (double charges come to mind) |
| 21:25.52 | DocScrutinizer | WTF?? |
| 21:25.54 | javispedro | they will refer you to FN/Launchpad, and forwarding to FN/Launchpad is as useful as forwarding to /dev/null |
| 21:26.13 | DocScrutinizer | BWAHAHA |
| 21:28.18 | DocScrutinizer | "sorry Sir, yes we got that 990$ from your bank account, but since you used a N950, we don't feel like rolling back that transaction" |
| 21:28.41 | DocScrutinizer | sounds oddly sane |
| 21:29.30 | javispedro | I got told this because of my inquiries about the download limit |
| 21:29.35 | javispedro | which btw is 10 |
| 21:29.59 | javispedro | nokiasupport can send you a sms (For free) where the original phone with the same IMEI that the one that made the payment can redownload the apps |
| 21:30.11 | DocScrutinizer | with that inquiries you're already on their blacklist anyway |
| 21:30.45 | javispedro | but the support lady clearly told me that they will NOT send that to N950s, and that "I should contact FN where that to happen to me" |
| 21:30.56 | javispedro | *were |
| 21:31.27 | sahib_ | javispedro: get back to me with the e-mail that you made the purchase from and I'll resend the download link for you tomorrow, should you so wish. |
| 21:31.33 | bef0rd | what if you say you have an n9 |
| 21:31.33 | DocScrutinizer | wtf, probably they got no clue if it's an N9 or N950 at all |
| 21:32.01 | javispedro | sahib_: actually I got the SMS link and it didn't work either ("content is no longer available" |
| 21:32.12 | javispedro | (I hit it within the two hours timeframe) |

| 21:32.43 | DocScrutinizer | bottom line: OVI store FUBAR |
| 21:33.12 | itsnotabigtruck | juhaj: you don't want to put anything in /ETC/INIT.D |
| 21:33.17 | itsnotabigtruck | n9 uses /ETC/INIT |
| 21:33.21 | DocScrutinizer | and you really expect me to develop anything for such an infra? |
| 21:33.30 | itsnotabigtruck | (which is for upstart, as opposed to sysvinit) |
| 21:33.53 | itsnotabigtruck | also javispedro: that's pretty insane |
| 21:34.06 | itsnotabigtruck | DocScrutinizer: well, no one said you had to upload anything to ovi store...i haven't |
| 21:34.26 | itsnotabigtruck | what's a real shame is all the vast majority of people know is the ovi store |
| 21:35.01 | itsnotabigtruck | AFM could have been a real alternative but AFM itself is crippled by bugs, no one except pros knows about it, and even most pros refuse to upload things into it |
| 21:35.05 | itsnotabigtruck | so yeah |
| 21:35.34 | itsnotabigtruck | javispedro: did they know you had a 950 or did you tell them |
| 21:35.46 | itsnotabigtruck | i.e. would pretending to be using an N9 have helped at all |
| 21:35.56 | javispedro | itsnotabigtruck: they can check that (it appears on my ovi account page for example) |
| 21:36.00 | javispedro | actually "Nokia Dali" appears |
| 21:36.03 | itsnotabigtruck | DocScrutinizer: of course you could always chargeback the $990 charge |
| 21:36.35 | itsnotabigtruck | javispedro: they've got some seriously idiotic flowchart-driven support going on |
| 21:36.48 | itsnotabigtruck | if you were using an N9 in the US you'd, from what i hear, get a very similar response |
| 21:36.55 | javispedro | well |
| 21:37.19 | javispedro | I have to say that the support lady was very friendly and he knew what the N950 and the N9 were and the relationship between them |
| 21:37.23 | javispedro | *she :P |
| 21:37.32 | itsnotabigtruck | doesn't help if she refuses to take action |
| 21:37.57 | itsnotabigtruck | if it's something that they can do, and it's something that a reasonable person would expect them to do, they should do it |
| 21:38.02 | juhaj | itsnotabigtruck: No, I do not care if there is anything in /etc/init.d or not: I want kontact touch and it needs virtuoso-opensource-6.1 which wants to drop a file in /etc/init.d and refuses to install otherwise |
| 21:38.21 | itsnotabigtruck | juhaj: yeah, that package is borked i think... |
| 21:38.33 | itsnotabigtruck | someone here probably knows more about the state of the art with kontakt touch |
| 21:38.36 | juhaj | itsnotabigtruck: True. But that information does not help me install it =) |
| 21:38.52 | itsnotabigtruck | juhaj: well, you should wait and get some details before destroying your phone with it |
| 21:39.02 | itsnotabigtruck | i think those packages have MALFed phones before |
| 21:39.31 | juhaj | itsnotabigtruck: I thought that was a bug in 1.1 (combined with those packages) |
| 21:40.36 | itsnotabigtruck | juhaj: possibly...though if the package causes a MALF screen that's pretty much by definition a misbehaving package |
| 21:40.45 | itsnotabigtruck | i sort of remember talk about that before but never got any actual hard info |
| 21:42.17 | juhaj | itsnotabigtruck: I spoke to aheinecke the other day and he seemed to be convinced 1.2 fixes that issue. |
| 21:42.43 | juhaj | itsnotabigtruck: And I already went through your guide once after hitting that particular problem with libXcursor... |
| 21:42.48 | itsnotabigtruck | juhaj: in any case, if the package is installing stuff to /etc/init.d, it's not harmattanized, and that means it shouldn't be installed |
| 21:42.56 | itsnotabigtruck | and i'm having deja vu here... |
| 21:43.09 | itsnotabigtruck | i think at least one other person had the exact same problem before and that means that nothing's been done to fix it |
| 21:43.27 | juhaj | itsnotabigtruck: Sure, nothing's been done to those packages for months |
| 21:43.30 | piggz | ok, so i installed qtcreator in ~, renamed QtCreator in ~/QtSDK, and added a symlink to the new 2.5beta, and it seems to work .. hopfully no more full /tmp problems for me! |

| 21:45.51 | juhaj | itsnotabigtruck: So it is your best advice not to try to install those packages? |
| 21:46.20 | piggz | javispedro: its a standalone release of qtcreator beta, not a full sdk |

| 22:33.33 | itsnotabigtruck | piggz: -ve review? |
| 22:34.08 | itsnotabigtruck | and imo ads are a lot worse than having to pay for an app, because that means the app is working against the user |
| 22:34.13 | itsnotabigtruck | you can't really trust it anymore |
| 22:34.19 | itsnotabigtruck | ad libraries have all sorts of nasty stuff embedded in them |

| 22:38.04 | itsnotabigtruck | that's...definitely not the kind of thing that should have ads embedded |

| 22:39.32 | piggz | yeah, maybe...i was mainly trying it to see if i could.. |
| 22:39.33 | itsnotabigtruck | also, it looks like it didn't originally contain ads? so that means that it's an anti-feature added in after the fact |
| 22:39.43 | itsnotabigtruck | i.e. something in an app that isn't in the interest of the user |
| 22:40.08 | Velmont | itsnotabigtruck: I found out why I couldn't find the telenor video, -- it is actually deleted, and doesn't run anymore on my phone. I just hadn't noticed after upgrading to PR1.2. |
| 22:40.12 | itsnotabigtruck | anyway...the ad situation doesn't seem to be that bad on N9 |
| 22:40.22 | itsnotabigtruck | but it's really really bad on android and iphone |
| 22:40.27 | itsnotabigtruck | people are right to be wary of ads |
| 22:40.29 | Velmont | Yes. I hated that. |
| 22:40.58 | piggz | yeah, if i added ads to the free version of space-invaders, it would be difficult for it not to be very annoying |
| 22:41.08 | itsnotabigtruck | and e.g. meecatalog added an ad banner, and the ad i kept getting was advertising some dodgy outfit trying to scam people wanting a green card |
| 22:41.52 | itsnotabigtruck | i promptly got rid of it because not only was it closed source, now it had ads and in a simple utility program that isn't acceptable |
| 22:42.41 | piggz | heh, the add ive got on u-d is for a nice looking girl called Amber |
| 22:42.58 | piggz | should i view her friend reguest? :D |
| 22:43.01 | itsnotabigtruck | lol |
| 22:43.21 | piggz | now i have a flirt-request |
| 22:43.23 | itsnotabigtruck | that's the other thing, w/r/t open source, for a phone centered around open source software, i'm disappointed at how everything is gravitating toward the ovi store and closed source apps |
| 22:43.42 | itsnotabigtruck | i suppose it was inevitable, it's the same situation as every other platform really |
| 22:43.54 | Velmont | Yep. -- But it's the easy, obvious choice. -- There's no FOSS store preinstalled. |
| 22:44.04 | Velmont | And Nokia doesn't make it easyto filter on FOSS stuff. |
| 22:44.07 | itsnotabigtruck | i'm not one of those open-source-or-nothing fanatics |
| 22:44.23 | Velmont | I'd like it to be easier, I alwaysprefer FOSS. |
| 22:44.27 | itsnotabigtruck | Velmont: who cares about filtering |
| 22:44.36 | itsnotabigtruck | it would be enough for a developer to simultaneously release on ovi and release the source |
| 22:44.38 | itsnotabigtruck | or whatever it takes |
| 22:44.44 | Velmont | Although I'm also not FOSS or nothing. |
| 22:44.49 | itsnotabigtruck | releasing on ovi store isn't mutually exclusive with everything else |
| 22:44.58 | itsnotabigtruck | yet in practice almost nothing on ovi store is available anywhere else |
| 22:45.07 | itsnotabigtruck | there's no good reason for that, really |
| 22:45.08 | DocScrutinizer | I can't believe it I stay at home to chat with javispedro to test usb hostmode, rather than heading out for dinner |
| 22:45.17 | Velmont | Filtering is required to actually find the things easily. |
| 22:45.19 | piggz | the other way of looking at it, does making a crappy urban-dictionary client app, really add value to the foss community? |
| 22:45.44 | itsnotabigtruck | piggz: well, not necessarily, but it doesn't hurt |
| 22:45.51 | itsnotabigtruck | there's the trust factor |
| 22:45.55 | Velmont | I'd rather use an app I know I can fix, than using something I can't. |
| 22:46.00 | itsnotabigtruck | if something's open source you have an easy way to know it doesn't have antifeatures |
| 22:46.12 | itsnotabigtruck | if the dev disappears off the face of the earth and eventually the app breaks, someone can fork and fix it |
| 22:46.16 | Velmont | Yep. |
| 22:46.41 | itsnotabigtruck | also since only open source stuff is permissible on AfM, having something available as OSS makes it eligible for AfM |
| 22:46.51 | itsnotabigtruck | which would help grow AfM into more of a legit competitor to ovi, because right now it's not |
| 22:47.05 | Velmont | Ofc. I'm not against closed source stuff, I do work for Opera, - but I prefer FOSS stuff because of many things. |
| 22:47.16 | itsnotabigtruck | there's a single digit number of release-quality apps on AfM right now, and it's mostly because no one who submits things to ovi is also submitting to AfM |
| 22:47.26 | itsnotabigtruck | even if the app is indeed open source |
| 22:47.33 | *** join/#harmattan piggz_ (~piggz@host86-161-67-152.range86-161.btcentralplus.com) |
| 22:47.45 | piggz_ | useless wifi :/ |
| 22:48.56 | itsnotabigtruck | eh |
| 22:49.04 | itsnotabigtruck | *heh piggz_: did any of that stuff above go through? |
| 22:49.23 | piggz_ | itsnotabigtruck: up to .... velmont> i;d rather user... |
| 22:49.36 | itsnotabigtruck | itsnotabigtruck | if something's open source you have an easy way to know it doesn't have antifeatures |
| 22:49.38 | itsnotabigtruck | itsnotabigtruck | if the dev disappears off the face of the earth and eventually the app breaks, someone can fork and fix it |
| 22:49.47 | itsnotabigtruck | itsnotabigtruck | also since only open source stuff is permissible on AfM, having something available as OSS makes it eligible for AfM which would help grow AfM into more of a legit competitor to ovi, because right now it's not |
| 22:51.11 | itsnotabigtruck | so it's not really about contributing value to the oss community, as much as making something people can count on, i suppose |
| 22:52.10 | piggz_ | tbh, there are no license decisions on any of my stuff in ovi-store..the free ones can certainly be gpl, its just the work of maintiaining it somewhere...atm, i have my own git server on a nas upstairs :) |
| 22:53.13 | piggz_ | im not particulalrly interested in the ad-revenue, i think i made $0.18 so far ;) ... it was just an experiment |
| 22:53.13 | itsnotabigtruck | github or bitbucket? also if you make something into a debian source package and upload it into OBS it's downloadable from there |
| 22:53.33 | Velmont | itsnotabigtruck: or gitorious :] |
| 22:54.09 | itsnotabigtruck | Velmont: yeah but everyone hates gitorious :p |
| 22:54.10 | piggz_ | well, does anyone want a gpl urban-dictionary client and google-latitude client? |
| 22:54.23 | itsnotabigtruck | piggz_: lol |
| 22:54.55 | itsnotabigtruck | i mean, you're right that those aren't that important in the scheme of things, i'm mostly arguing on principle here |
| 22:54.56 | Velmont | itsnotabigtruck: Didn't know that, -- I use it, but only as a remote repo. |
| 22:55.02 | piggz_ | see :) |
| 22:55.13 | itsnotabigtruck | but it can't hurt either :p |
| 22:55.17 | Velmont | piggz_: latitude yay |
| 22:55.28 | itsnotabigtruck | yeah, if the latitude client is solid, sounds great |
| 22:55.39 | Velmont | I was a bit sad that my nice latitude statistics doesn't update any more after moving away from Android. |
| 22:55.47 | itsnotabigtruck | there's already one on appsformeego but i don't think it's that polished |
| 22:55.59 | piggz_ | itsnotabigtruck: in the big scheme of things, if i get round to a kexi database app for harmattan, it will be open source |
| 22:56.20 | piggz_ | Velmont: but, would you care if it was gpl or free on ovi store? |
| 22:56.54 | piggz_ | and, would it be ok to have an about page that said 'this is gpl, email me for the source or download it from...' ? |
| 22:57.10 | Velmont | piggz_: If there is something FOSS I always try it first, and often stick to it. |
| 22:57.18 | itsnotabigtruck | piggz_: well, i'm pushing the apps for meego angle because it's the only real alternative to ovi store |
| 22:57.40 | itsnotabigtruck | and having everyone dependent on ovi store isn't turning out to be a good thing |
| 22:57.44 | Velmont | Although I've only ever looked at the source for 2 mobile apps. -- But in Ubuntu I do apt-get source a bit more often. |
| 22:58.03 | piggz_ | itsnotabigtruck: the latitude client is _relatively_ solid ... it went from _very_ to _relative_ in the last update becuase i had to switch to oath2 ... and now sometimes it looses the access token and asks to log in again |
| 22:58.15 | itsnotabigtruck | piggz_: are you using an account plugin? |
| 22:58.25 | itsnotabigtruck | i was helping zogg out with his account plugin, it turns out that for oauth2 it's easier than i thought |
| 22:58.26 | piggz_ | itsnotabigtruck: no, its just an app |
| 22:58.45 | itsnotabigtruck | pr1.2+ (or is it pr1.1+?) contains an oauth implementation |
| 22:58.55 | itsnotabigtruck | that's probably off-limits from ovi store until they bump the baseline to pr1.2 though |
| 22:58.59 | piggz_ | where are the docs for that? |
| 22:59.02 | itsnotabigtruck | (they already bumped it to pr1.1) |
| 22:59.08 | itsnotabigtruck | well, that's the thing, there's basically none |
| 22:59.27 | itsnotabigtruck | i just figured out some stuff going by the source this afternoon |
| 22:59.39 | piggz_ | useful.....oauth2 isnt hard .... just need to figure out why its loosing the token |
| 23:00.00 | itsnotabigtruck | but integration into signon/accounts is a big plus for native-ness |
| 23:00.16 | piggz_ | but im concentrating on pang, cos it makes me $$$ ;) |
| 23:00.17 | itsnotabigtruck | also signon provides aegis protection, though we all know how "secure" aegis protection is |
| 23:00.37 | piggz_ | yes, i can see the appeal of integrating it |
| 23:01.10 | piggz_ | could do a new version as a plugin, and get rid of the map view |
| 23:01.40 | itsnotabigtruck | btw just my opinion: ditch the PGZ prefix on everything :p it seems like there's several people who like to prefix their apps like that |
| 23:01.50 | itsnotabigtruck | seems like it's better just to give something a cool sounding name |
| 23:02.05 | piggz_ | yeah, i was already considering that |
| 23:03.30 | itsnotabigtruck | piggz_: hmmmm...might it be possible to leverage the existing google account on the phone to log into latitude |
| 23:05.35 | piggz_ | itsnotabigtruck: well, you have to go to the google page to authorize the app to update your location, does the exisiting account store your credentials (it probably does for email) .. with the oauth2 api, the app never needs to know the user credentials |
| 23:06.06 | itsnotabigtruck | piggz_: i think it does, and it doesn't know about oauth i don't think |
| 23:06.11 | itsnotabigtruck | which is probably a bit of a problem |
| 23:07.14 | piggz_ | anyway, its been a good chat, but i need to get to sleep or i wont get up! |
