06:51.01ryukafalzHey - as someone who does not yet own an N900 (but would like to)... are security updates typically made available for preinstalled software through CSSU?
06:51.12ryukafalzJust curious how maintained it is these days
06:53.01freemangordonryukafalz: see the changelog of yesterday's update
06:54.15ryukafalzOh, whoops, how did I miss that on the wiki page... awesome :)
07:00.12*** join/#maemo-ssu LauRoman|Tablet (~yaaic@5-14-194-0.residential.rdsnet.ro)
07:09.28kerioryukafalz: in the limits of what a handful of people can do
07:09.43ryukafalzunderstandable
07:10.01kerioalso, expect libraries to be at debian oldoldstable releases
07:10.14ryukafalzah, heh
07:10.36keriobecause ABI
07:10.53ryukafalzit looks like the kernel is pre-3.0 as well, proprietary drivers?
07:11.02kerioeyup
07:11.15kerioi think the main problem is the 3d graphics
07:11.22ryukafalzdang ODMs :(
07:11.38kerioafaik, both Pali and freemangordon got 3.x to run
07:11.49keriobut upgrading the kernel like that is beyond the scope of CSSU
07:12.04ryukafalzyeah
07:12.23ryukafalzhwaccel I think I could live without if the DE were lightweight enough
07:12.52keriohildon-desktop is a compositing wm
07:12.57ryukafalzah, dang
07:13.17ryukafalzsurely one could run another wm though?
07:13.30keriosure
07:13.48keriobut you lose in UX
07:13.51ryukafalzyeah
07:13.55keriohildon-desktop is REALLY good
07:14.27ryukafalzI suppose getting hardware accel would require reverse engineering the binary drivers?
07:15.01freemangordonhttp://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=1459970&postcount=142
07:15.03freemangordon;)
07:15.33ryukafalzthat ain't no N900 :P
07:15.47ryukafalzNeo900 looks awesome though
07:15.55ryukafalzjust a *bit* out of my price range
07:16.00freemangordonryukafalz: this *IS* N900
07:16.08ryukafalz...oh, wait what?
07:16.26kerioalso notice the striked sim card icon
07:16.34ryukafalzI saw the thread, but now I see the device name
07:16.37ryukafalzheh
07:16.46freemangordonkerio: that's because there is no SIMcard :)
07:16.49keriok
07:16.54kerioso does everything work
07:16.58freemangordonno
07:17.16freemangordonaudio, cameras and some other things are broken
07:17.43freemangordonoh, and upstreap removed DSP driver
07:17.49freemangordon*upstream
07:18.08keriorip dsp
07:18.16freemangordonkerio: but things are getting better
07:18.30freemangordonno, why RIP it, the source code is still there
07:18.32kerioryukafalz: also don't expect a modern gecko
07:18.43ryukafalzwasn't counting on it heh
07:18.56keriothe default browser is old, and there's at most a firefox... 17?
07:19.03freemangordon24
07:19.06freemangordonor 23
07:19.10keriok
07:19.12ryukafalzI don't even touch web browsers most of the time on my phone tbh
07:19.15kerioit's not that bad, it's got websockets
07:19.25ryukafalzmore important is messaging, and maemo is wonderful for that :)
07:20.00freemangordonwell, microb is not that bad, just don;t feed him with those new heavy sites my desktop struggles with
07:20.13kerioyou really need a better desktop, fmg
07:20.15keriobuy a mac!
07:20.17keriothey're pretty
07:20.21freemangordonyou mad bro?
07:20.32freemangordonwhat's next, iPhone?
07:20.36ryukafalzuses a mac for work... they're pretty but lacking in functionality :P
07:20.39kerionah, macs are good
07:20.43kerioare they
07:21.14freemangordonanyway, back to BB
07:21.37ryukafalzI miss the niceties of my Linux desktops, e.g. easily switching playing audio streams between output devices
07:21.58ryukafalzespecially when I'm on a thunderbolt display and I would really rather that music play out of my headphones rather than the display speakers
07:23.02ryukafalzI'm sure there are third-party applications that would do that for me, but it Just Works™ on Linux w/ PulseAudio
07:23.07keriolol pulseaudio
07:23.11keriofreemangordon: lol
07:23.13keriolol!
07:23.28ryukafalzhey it's not nearly as buggy as it used to be :P
07:24.32merlin1991yeah but pulse on maemo has been a very special friend to us ;)
07:24.42freemangordonand it still is
07:25.24ryukafalzooh boy heh
07:25.55freemangordonthe problem is there are 3 closed blobs made by Nokia
07:26.11ryukafalz=/
07:26.26ryukafalzare those pulseaudio modules?
07:26.31freemangordon2 of them felt down in the RE battle, but the most important one still stands (the voice module)
07:26.56ryukafalzvoice module? what's that responsible for?
07:27.10ryukafalz(don't say voice :P)
07:27.18freemangordonyes, voice :P
07:27.39freemangordonthe telephony stuff (aec etc)
07:27.53ryukafalzah, okay
07:28.47ryukafalzrecent versions of pulse have an aec module from webrtc - would it be possible to replace nokia's blob with other existing modules?
07:29.20freemangordonryukafalz: well, and how you gonna parametrize it?
07:31.08freemangordonyou know those algos need to be fed with some data for the physical characteristics of the device. afaik
07:31.24ryukafalzoh, hmm
07:32.29freemangordonan ex-nokia used to work wth that PA stuff said that even with the labs they had in Nokia, it was exptremely hard to fine-tune the parameters
07:32.38ryukafalzfound this on the pulseaudio wiki for the echo cancel module... very encouraging :P - "

12:10.33nealI just reflashed (the eMMC and PR1.3).
12:10.50nealI tried to install css-thumb
12:11.24nealbut there are errors
12:11.37nealIn application manager, I have pending updates
12:11.55neale.g., libqtm-bearer 1.0.02-maemo4+0m5+0ccsu1+thumb1
12:12.17nealBut it's not installable
12:12.46nealit conflicts with libqt4-openql (4.7.0~git20100909-0maemo1+0m5)
12:13.39nealThe installation guide says to make sure "nokia and extras" are enabled.
12:13.47neal(https://wiki.maemo.org/Community_SSU/Thumb#Installation)
12:13.55nealBut the nokia repos don't work
12:13.58nealperhaps that is the problem
12:14.01nealare there replacements?
12:14.48neal(Yes, I've searched)
12:16.13bencohwait, what ?
12:16.17bencohwhich repo ?
12:18.26nealbencoh, downloads.maemo.nokia.org/fremantle/ssu/apps
12:18.43nealbencoh, and downloads.maemo.nokia.org/fremantle/ssu/mr0
12:18.55nealthey both return an error for me
12:19.17neals/org/com/
12:19.49bencoha gnupg/openpgp error (expired key) ?
12:21.35nealAccessing the URLs in my browser shows "Invalid URL"
12:21.41nealSo I don't think that is the problem
12:24.57bencohoh fuck
12:25.02bencohapt-get says err 400
12:25.11nealyes
12:27.30bencohhttp://pastebin.notk.org/pastebin.php?show=d422f4c29
12:27.47bencohnow that sucks
12:30.20nealdoes cssu-thumb require just the extras repo or also the extras-devel repo?
12:34.16bencohit most probably doesnt need extras-devel, as extras-devel is supposed to be a -devel repo :)
12:35.44nealI recall that no transitions from devel to testing to stable were occurring for a while
12:36.05nealI'm pleasantly surprised that things have improved
12:37.44bencohextras and cssu are two different things
12:38.02nealI know.  But the cssu install guide says to enable the extras repo
12:38.09nealso extras is apparently a dependency
12:38.27bencohI wonder why ... kernel, maybe
12:39.19bencoh(you need a "recent" kernel with a workaround to the omap3/thumb2 bug)

12:53.11*** join/#maemo-ssu BCMM (~BCMM@unaffiliated/bcmm)
13:07.50merlin1991cssu never needs extras
13:08.49merlin1991but cssu-thumb requires cssu-testing, and cssu-testing in turn has some dependencies on stuff in the nokia repos
13:09.22merlin1991neal: is the csu-testing catalogue enabled?
13:15.14nealmerlin1991, yes
13:15.26nealOh, no
13:15.30nealcsu-testing is not enabled
13:15.50nealmerlin1991, Are you aware of any mirrors of the nokia repos?
13:16.36bencohI have a partial mirror (no ovi, no "regional" stuff)
13:18.51nealwell if the noka repos contain hard dependencies then it makes sense to put up a mirror somewhere
13:18.58nealI doubt MS will send a take down
13:19.04nealgiven that Maemo is dead to them
13:21.11nealIs it no longer possible to edit the wiki?
13:21.29nealI logged into my old account, but I don't see a way to edit a page.
13:31.25*** join/#maemo-ssu stevenm (~stevenm@212.57.232.254)
13:40.25merlin1991it should be possible
13:40.39merlin1991neal: which page are you trying to edit?
13:50.33nealmerlin1991, http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_firmware
13:51.07merlin1991hm seems like the page is locked
13:51.07merlin1991I can't edit it either
13:54.12stevenmneal, are you perhaps putting links to firmware that work on it? :P
13:57.00nealstevenm, http://www.fladnag.net/downloads/telephone/n900/index.html?hc_location=ufi
13:57.04nealyou mean like that one?
13:58.38stevenmyeah
14:03.59stevenmi can't seem to find a download for PR 1.3.1
14:06.39stevenmI'd like to find RX-51_2009SE_21.2011.38-1.203.1_PR_203_ARM.bin
14:06.44stevenmthe latest PR 1.3.1 UK release
14:07.44stevenmwonders if he has it at phone
14:07.49stevenm*home
14:20.54stevenmnope
14:21.18stevenmanyone have RX-51_2009SE_21.2011.38-1.203.1_PR_203 ?
14:23.30stevenmneal, have found the 1.3.1 global release though - http://daten.dieweltistgarnichtso.net/tmp/bin/n900/RX-51_2009SE_21.2011.38-1_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin
14:31.01merlin19911.3.1 is not exactly necessary if you install cssu
14:31.25merlin19911.3 -> 1.3.1 is just an update for ssl certs (digicert breach) and is also included in cssu
14:31.58stevenmfair enough
14:32.43stevenmi take it what's left of the maemo cssu team  -  are the only people working on hildon in the slightest these days?
14:32.58stevenmand even then not very much
14:33.02merlin1991yep
14:33.17merlin1991tbh we're almost as big as always
14:33.23merlin1991we always had 2-3 core devs
14:33.34stevenmi'd love to see another hildon/debian mobile OS - if not a rebirth of maemo on to other handsets
14:33.52merlin1991thing is, libx and gtk2
14:34.18stevenmright but MATE have managed to continue gnome2 - they have a migration path to gtk3
14:34.33merlin1991there is cordia which ported hildon to gtk3, but we are still 100% dependent on X11
14:34.49merlin1991which rules out ie mer as a base
14:34.55merlin1991because that went the wayland path
14:34.59stevenmoooh didn't know about cordia
14:35.12stevenm*cough* *uck mer - sorry i'm not a fan
14:35.15stevenmi like my .deb base
14:35.23merlin1991tbh it's funky
14:35.30merlin1991.deb has the better tools on the repo side
14:35.47merlin1991.rpm has the better tools for packaging / building
14:36.39stevenmand working with the linux foundation / intel - hasn't exactly bore much fruit, two dead projects and counting
14:36.40stevenmhttps://github.com/Cordia   =  cordia?
14:36.57merlin1991yep
14:36.59merlin1991also http://cordiahd.org/
14:37.12stevenmthat's nice :)
14:37.19merlin1991but dead ...
14:37.35stevenmooh it's really nice to see someone is carrying ... oh :( ... *WAS* carrying this on
14:38.25stevenmperhaps cordia could be a replacement UI for the Unity on Ubuntu Phone OS

19:30.38nealmerlin1991, The gta04 is possibly reasonable hardware for Maemo.
19:30.52nealmerlin1991, There's obviously the neo900 project, which is based on the gta04
19:31.09nealbut the gta04 exists today
19:31.17merlin1991yeah only that the n900 > gta04
19:31.49nealThe gta04 has linux 4.0 :)
19:35.03sixwheeledbeastbut missing the features of the N900
19:36.57nealof course
19:39.13M4rtinKIIRC Neo900 should have a bit better hardware than the GTA04
19:39.19M4rtinKmore RAM, etc.
