| 00:33.57 | db48x | doc|work: the source is still freely available |
| 00:34.16 | doc|work | just binaries aren't? |
| 00:34.20 | elb | many people have trouble with the concept of free software |
| 00:34.22 | db48x | yea |
| 00:34.30 | db48x | but it's been like that from the beginning |
| 00:34.39 | doc|work | ah, ok, so, the article's fud? |
| 00:35.11 | elb | the article is correct |
| 00:35.12 | db48x | which article? many of them are |
| 00:35.19 | elb | your exclamation about "!foss" is FUD |
| 00:35.43 | db48x | yea |
| 00:35.54 | doc|work | was a joke :/ |
| 00:36.15 | elb | (note that there *is* software on the Nokia tablets which is not open source, and the license they are under is available for your review) |
| 00:36.41 | doc|work | just seemed odd that a serial was necessary and that it might be held back to "allow the n810 to shine" |
| 00:36.58 | db48x | that's not so odd |
| 00:38.06 | milhouse | anyone got the bogomips for an n800 running os2007? from /proc/cpuinfo |
| 00:38.28 | GeneralAntilles | howto? |
| 00:38.29 | _Monkey | it has been said that howto is the maemo community HowTo Wiki - http://maemo.org/community/wiki/HowTo |
| 00:38.38 | milhouse | cat /proc/cpuinfo |
| 00:38.53 | db48x | 320.37 |
| 00:38.53 | milhouse | BogoMIPS will be listed near the top |
| 00:38.58 | milhouse | no way... really? |
| 00:39.02 | GeneralAntilles | 388.54 |
| 00:39.04 | milhouse | ah yes |
| 00:39.07 | GeneralAntilles | For 2008 |
| 00:39.10 | GeneralAntilles | Right. |
| 00:39.11 | GeneralAntilles | Ha |
| 00:39.11 | milhouse | i think it's about 1:1 on clock speed |
| 00:39.18 | milhouse | interesting, for OS2008 mine is 160.68! :) |
| 00:39.36 | db48x | huh |
| 00:39.37 | GeneralAntilles | Also: return in fullscreen keyboard in xterm finally sends the command. |
| 00:39.59 | milhouse | 388 would approximate to the CPU running at about 400mhz I guess |
| 00:40.17 | db48x | so why is yours only 160? |
| 00:40.17 | milhouse | anyone know how to check the current CPU speed? |
| 00:40.25 | milhouse | db48x - looks that way! :) |
| 00:40.36 | milhouse | i'll reboot it and see if I get a different figure |
| 00:40.48 | elb | (note that bogomips are more or less completely meaningless on basically all platforms) |
| 00:41.03 | milhouse | i know, but pretty much all there is... |
| 00:41.03 | juh0 | i got 388.54 bogomips |
| 00:41.31 | juh0 | but wow the os2008 is really fast |
| 00:41.32 | milhouse | boots a damn site quicker than 2007 :) |
| 00:41.54 | pupnik | \p/ |
| 00:41.54 | milhouse | nice to see xterm included, although i'm not convinced by the "improvements" |
| 00:41.56 | elb | it sounds like the CPU speed change is with throttling, so your CPU won't be any given speed at any given point in time, anykway |
| 00:42.30 | pupnik | can't wait to see transflective screen |
| 00:42.42 | milhouse | booted it and bogomips is 160.68 again |
| 00:42.47 | pupnik | but that dpad looks... not quite game compatible |
| 00:43.07 | milhouse | elb: I'm sure it's just a matter of time until someone creates a "load" type applet that displays the current frequency. or something. |
| 00:43.30 | milhouse | rss reader manages to show fewer items than the old version - genius! |
| 00:43.31 | elb | I don't know if the architecture supports it, but if what you *really* want to know is what speed the CPU is currently running, check /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq |
| 00:44.09 | elb | (I do not yet have a device, so I don't know if cpufreq is accessed the same as it is on other architectures) |
| 00:44.12 | GeneralAntilles | Anybody have a link to the website with all the NIT repos? |

| 00:44.21 | milhouse | s/that/thats/ |
| 00:44.24 | milhouse | (thanks elb) |
| 00:44.45 | elb | if you did something CPU intensive, I presume that would crank up to as much as 400MHz |
| 00:44.57 | elb | cpu_max_freq and cpu_min_freq may also be informative |

| 00:55.32 | GeneralAntilles | Ha |
| 00:56.14 | milhouse | this frequency scaling worries me - the device seems to pause briefly before it switches up to 400Mhz |
| 00:57.16 | GeneralAntilles | Better than having no battery life. ;) |
| 00:57.29 | milhouse | that remains to be seen :) |
| 00:57.38 | doc|work | what will the new battery life be like? |
| 00:57.48 | GeneralAntilles | Probably about the same |
| 00:57.58 | GeneralAntilles | More power + scaling = similar battery life. |
| 00:57.58 | doc|work | cool |

| 00:58.14 | doc|work | had there been no scaling before? |
| 00:58.19 | milhouse | none at all |
| 00:58.21 | doc|work | wow |

| 00:58.44 | *** join/#maemo netx303 (n=rlange@osiris.darkempire.org) |
| 00:58.49 | elb | if you mean that there is some hysteresis, that is good |
| 00:58.56 | zerojay | Awesome.. "Display stays lit when charging" option! ;D |
| 00:58.59 | milhouse | assuming it spends most of it's time running at 165Mhz (which seems the minimum freq) instead of 330Mhz the battery will probably last a little longer than it did before... |
| 00:59.21 | doc|work | does watching a movie bump the cpu up? |
| 00:59.24 | milhouse | elb: it's like lag... maybe for half a second to a full second |
| 00:59.31 | GeneralAntilles | Yeah, zerojay, the LED options are a nice feature, too. |
| 00:59.41 | GeneralAntilles | I'll actually turn the damn thing on now. |
| 00:59.44 | elb | on most processors, there are lost cycles in changing the frequency (and lost cycles means lost power), so you don't *want* it to changae frequency for a tiny burst of CPU usage |
| 01:00.04 | elb | milhouse: do you mean the whole thing freezes up, or that it simply takes it a second to decide to kick up to 400MHz? |
| 01:00.36 | milhouse | elb: both - it seems to pause, and then it continues once it has switched up to 400Mhz |
| 01:01.02 | pupnik | zerojay: nice nice |
| 01:01.03 | milhouse | i'm just running a simple terminal session via ssh which is logging the current freq every second - that pauses too when switching up (but not down) |
| 01:01.05 | elb | I have a hard time believing that the whole thing freezes up when it changes frequency |
| 01:01.08 | elb | or that it is supposed to |
| 01:01.23 | milhouse | playing BBC Radio 1 real audio stream and my cpu is chugging along at 330Mhz |
| 01:01.26 | elb | now, accessing /sys/devices/system/cpu/... *may* pause, that's is entirely likely |
| 01:01.27 | GeneralAntilles | I'm not seeing the effect you're describing, milhouse. |

| 01:29.44 | GeneralAntilles | Lies, _Monkey. |

| 01:30.14 | GeneralAntilles | Yeah, I've never heard anybody refer to a "song" as a "clip" or a collection of music as "clips" |
| 01:30.27 | milhouse | elb: possibly, but i'd associate clips more strongly with movie/film media than audio which has a clear and simple term of reference on a media player - song (or track) |
| 01:30.44 | zerojay | Who wants to try internet call? ;) |
| 01:30.48 | elb | right, for a complete piece, "song" is obviously the correct term |
| 01:30.54 | db48x | hrm |
| 01:30.57 | zerojay | Just a minute or two to try it out. :) |
| 01:31.01 | elb | but "audio clip" is a normal and often-used term -- just misplaced, here |
| 01:31.04 | db48x | no more typing suggestions in xterms? |
| 01:31.14 | milhouse | although of course not all tracks will be songs, could be audio books so track might be a more general and still accurate term :) |
| 01:31.49 | milhouse | my point is though, that it's probably taken longer to debate the point in bugzilla than it would to actually fix the bug in the first place - which hasn't been fixed! :) |
| 01:32.08 | zerojay | Internet call now disables and greys out contacts not on Jabber/Gmail or does not have a phone number associated. |
| 01:32.16 | db48x | ah, completions were simply turned off |

| 01:42.34 | K`zan | Hi Folks, thinking (seriously) about getting an N800 and am trying to figure out what is available for it - would like to replace my Palm Z31 with it, things like jpilot and perhaps kontact - dunno yet :-). Much to learn. |
| 01:42.53 | K`zan | Just gonna read the mail for a bit here... |
| 01:43.26 | milhouse | check the itt website it now has a palm os forum |
| 01:45.00 | K`zan | Thanks, but I am pretty fed up with Palm, they used to be stellar, but that was a while back - buggy hardware and software do not inspire me, but linux embedded does :-)! |
| 01:45.41 | K`zan | FBReader is a BIG plus :-) considering I probably use the Z31 for more of an ebook reader than anything else. |
| 01:46.24 | K`zan | Organizer and scheduler I can sync with the desktop would loosen my wallet NOW :-). |
| 01:46.54 | K`zan | <PROTECTED> |
| 01:47.30 | K`zan | Kind of confused at this point - is the 2007 OS Nokia or maemo, appear to be the same?!? |
| 01:47.50 | milhouse | it's the same |
| 01:48.36 | pupnik | the os itself is called ITOS. ITOS 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 |
| 01:49.16 | milhouse | and Maemo is the organisation that creates each IT OS, staffed by Nokia employees |
| 01:49.19 | K`zan | Coolness, thanks! Was introduced to the 770 and I like that a lot, but the 800 seems a bit cheezier and the 810 worse :-(. |
| 01:49.37 | K`zan | Smart folks :-)! Appreciated too. |
| 01:49.45 | GeneralAntilles | N800 is the way to go |
| 01:49.49 | GeneralAntilles | Don't bother with the N810 |
| 01:50.24 | pupnik | looking forward to having you around to test software |
| 01:50.43 | K`zan | Thanks, that is the impression I get too, primarily beacause of the RS-MMC that are either unobtanium or damned expensive :-). |
| 01:51.03 | K`zan | WOuld be glad to help out where I can - always with linux :-)!!!! |
| 01:51.26 | pupnik | all options are good. 770, N800, N810 - for different reasons |
| 01:51.34 | K`zan | Like the physical aspects of the 770 better than the 800, but.... |
| 01:51.52 | K`zan | Must be why they make so many different types :). |
| 01:52.00 | K`zan | Big fingers :-). |
| 01:52.02 | pupnik | yeah 770 is a rock. dropped mine many times |
| 01:52.31 | K`zan | Sad thing is that it is about a wash price wise by the time one adds an RS-MMC :-(. |
| 01:52.50 | pupnik | really? what is 2GB rsmmc? |
| 01:52.51 | K`zan | up to 16G on the 800 is rather impressive :-). |
| 01:53.01 | pupnik | +price |
| 01:53.09 | K`zan | I forget now, but MUCH more than a 2G SD card. |
| 01:53.45 | K`zan | That is what has had me balking on getting the 800, but I am now about a 10th of a nats wisker from ordering it :-). |
| 01:53.47 | GeneralAntilles | pupnik, maybe, but not when you consider price. :P |
| 01:53.50 | pupnik | the N800 also runs a bunch of games that the 770 cant quite handle |
| 01:53.52 | K`zan | 800 is faster too. |
| 01:54.21 | deejoe | I've only dropped my n800 once. |
| 01:54.25 | deejoe | so far, so good. |
| 01:54.30 | K`zan | If I can use it as a pda with the desktop stuff, that clenches the deal... |
| 01:54.45 | deejoe | it's the requisite "must drop each mobile device at least one time" |
| 01:54.55 | pupnik | dunno who here knows about syncing scheduler - ITT forums is the best place to search for that stuff |
| 01:54.59 | pupnik | hah |
| 01:55.04 | K`zan | REAL tired of the screen requiring constant calibration on the Z31 (or screwing around to compensate for it). |
| 01:55.28 | pupnik | if you're outside much, the N810 screen is said to be daylight readable |
| 01:55.39 | K`zan | First thing I do with anything new anymore is scratch it with a key so I am over worrying about it all :-) Lol1 |
| 01:55.49 | pupnik | gah |
| 01:55.57 | K`zan | That would be nice, the Z31 is completely useless in that department... |
| 01:56.09 | K`zan | Old Vx/C3 was quite usable. |
| 01:56.12 | pupnik | so is my psion netbook (dstn tft) |
| 01:56.16 | elb | that was really nice about the old school palms with their B&W displays |
| 01:56.25 | pupnik | yes, and the psion mx5 too |
| 01:56.27 | K`zan | Yep and batteries lasted FOREVER. |
| 01:56.30 | elb | you could use them absolutely anywhere |
| 01:56.37 | K`zan | Yep, unlike the Z31 |
| 01:56.39 | elb | yeah, I put new AAAs in my IIIc ... seldom |
| 01:56.59 | K`zan | :-). Ran the C3 for years and battery was never a problem. |
| 01:57.00 | elb | maybe 2-3 times a *year* |
| 01:57.12 | K`zan | I use it a LOT more for an ebook reader than anything else. |
| 01:57.18 | elb | of course, the old Palms cheated, a bit, in that they went to sleep after just a few ms of idle time |
| 01:57.21 | K`zan | Good for something to do in checkout lines :). |
| 01:57.27 | elb | and the only thing that was refreshed was that cheap, cheap, cheap LCD |
| 01:57.48 | K`zan | Yep, true, no color, only 8M of flash.... |
| 01:58.08 | K`zan | Shame palm has gotten so sleezy since then :-(. |
| 01:58.21 | milhouse | are maps downloading for anyone? |
| 01:58.31 | milhouse | my download progress bar is stuck and not moving |
| 01:58.53 | K`zan | Wonder if gpsdrive or roadnav works on the 800?!? |
| 01:59.15 | elb | there is a GPS kit for the 800 |
| 01:59.24 | K`zan | Would be nice to plug in the GPSMAP76CS. |
| 01:59.26 | elb | which includes software, the GPS unit, and maps |
| 01:59.38 | elb | (I think OS2008 will have the maps built-in, yes?) |
| 01:59.46 | K`zan | Already spent my GPS fortune on the Garmin :-/. |

| 02:00.56 | GeneralAntilles | Get an i-blue 737 or some other MTK based bluetooth GPS |
| 02:01.22 | K`zan | Silly newbie question, can one raid the debian / ubuntu repositories for stuff for the n800 or only maemo? Yeah, I really am seriously ignorant at this point and working hard to resolve it :).' |
| 02:01.50 | K`zan | GeneralAntilles: Hadn't thought of that - nicer package wise. |
| 02:01.53 | juh0 | you need to download maps if you use n800 and os2008, i just tested bluetooth gps receiver with os2008's wayfinder |
| 02:02.13 | GeneralAntilles | The debian stuff has to be recompiled |
| 02:02.18 | GeneralAntilles | not 100% straightforward |
| 02:02.23 | K`zan | Heh, not even sure which OS the one I am lookjng at comes with, but that appears not to be a problem. |
| 02:02.25 | GeneralAntilles | the GUI stuff has to be ported for Hildon |
| 02:02.40 | K`zan | Makes sense, There is an SDK I notice. |
| 02:02.41 | derf | K`zan: They're a good starting point but you'll generally need to do some repackaging, even for non-GUI things. |
| 02:02.56 | K`zan | Currently running fedora, which I am not sure I'll stick with at this point. |
| 02:03.34 | K`zan | derf: Not a great problem, unlike the Palm crap, I have a far better start with the n800, I think. |

| 02:07.48 | K`zan | Might as well do it :-). |

| 02:10.38 | K`zan | No tethering? As in running an access point NATted through it? |
| 02:10.49 | GeneralAntilles | bluetooth |

| 02:12.29 | K`zan | At least with the razor I don't have to confirm EVERYTHING I do by BT. |
| 02:12.33 | elb | yes, phones should just be phones |
| 02:12.43 | elb | phone/camera/mp3 player/PIM/blah blah blah is stupid |
| 02:12.56 | GeneralAntilles | Depends on the brand |
| 02:13.03 | GeneralAntilles | The Treos are stupid |
| 02:13.08 | K`zan | Agree, because I have to have a cell (disabled partner) I hate both the provider and the phone... |
| 02:13.09 | GeneralAntilles | blackberries are pretty terrible |

| 03:21.39 | lopz | hola |
| 03:23.03 | Syntra | A response to my question would be nice, if anyone has one. |
| 03:23.15 | deejoe | Syntra: yes |
| 03:23.28 | Syntra | Wicked! |
| 03:23.35 | Syntra | It worked and everything? |
| 03:23.44 | deejoe | for some value of "everything" |
| 03:23.58 | deejoe | I've used an apple bt keyboard and a thinkoutside folding keyboard |
| 03:24.23 | Syntra | Sweet |
| 03:24.24 | deejoe | on the thinkoutside keyboard, several of the keys are supposed to be accessible by hitting the blue Fn key |
| 03:24.58 | deejoe | however, it gets intercepted somehow by the n800 and so hitting Fn causes a menu to pop up instead of allowing use of, say, PgUp or Esc |
| 03:25.09 | Syntra | Hmm |
| 03:25.13 | deejoe | but largely, yeah, it works. |
| 03:25.13 | Syntra | Thats odd |
| 03:25.19 | Syntra | The apple one works fine though, right? |
| 03:25.22 | deejoe | yeah |
| 03:25.30 | Syntra | Thats the one I'm looking at |
| 03:25.32 | deejoe | though it's a bit bulky for my purposes. |
| 03:25.42 | deejoe | its fairly cheap and ubiquitous |
| 03:25.43 | Syntra | Ahh I don't care too much about size. |
| 03:26.00 | deejoe | well, not ubiquitous, but not that hard to find. |
| 03:26.04 | Syntra | Yeah |
| 03:26.09 | Syntra | I've found it |
| 03:26.21 | Syntra | 55$ is the cheapest I've found it for. |
| 03:26.28 | deejoe | I was disappointed that Logitech is selling so many "wireless keyboards" with proprietary usb dongles. |
| 03:27.17 | deejoe | 55$ sounds about right. |
| 03:27.35 | Syntra | Yeah |
| 03:28.12 | GeneralAntilles | I know, deejoe, what's with the trend away from Bluetooth for input devices these days? |
| 03:31.19 | deejoe | logitech must figure they can get away with it. |
| 03:31.31 | deejoe | maybe they save on licensing, too. |
| 03:32.03 | elb | bluetooth is pretty darn crappy |

| 03:40.16 | monarch | I am actually one of the ones on the device program |

| 03:53.09 | vabgeo | hi all, is support of glade removed from chinook? |
| 03:53.37 | tuxthepenguin | X86 went fine but ARMEL failed with a post install error during the install of hildon-input-method - apparently it tries to run an app as part of the post-install configuration process. That executable will not run (of course) because I am inside scratchbox and on an X86 machine - the app it wants to run in that scratchbox is of course an ARMEL binary so won't run. |

| 04:04.05 | tuxthepenguin | i just followed the directions in the maemo install docs which started by saying how to install scratchbox using a script |
| 04:04.46 | tuxthepenguin | then indicated i needed to install maemo SDK 3.0, so i used that automated install script next (I used the automated scratchbox setup too) |
| 04:05.33 | tuxthepenguin | wait let me restart that summary |
| 04:05.47 | tuxthepenguin | 1) followed directions and installed scratchbox |
| 04:06.01 | tuxthepenguin | 2) used automated install for maemo SDK 3.0 |
| 04:06.19 | tuxthepenguin | 3) used automated install to put nokia binaries in place |
| 04:06.37 | tuxthepenguin | 4) installed maemo-explicit to x86 target |
| 04:07.01 | tuxthepenguin | 5) attempted to install maemo-explicit to ARMEL target |
| 04:07.09 | tuxthepenguin | that's it in a nutshell... |
| 04:07.49 | tuxthepenguin | should I have grabbed a root file system at some point? was it part of one of the automated installs? |
| 04:07.54 | pupnik | i don't have experience with that |
| 04:08.09 | pupnik | no idea what 'maemo-explicit' is |
| 04:08.25 | tuxthepenguin | you installed using a different process than the documentation describes? |
| 04:08.35 | tuxthepenguin | What did you do and where did you find the info? |
| 04:08.35 | pupnik | i have an older scratchbox |
| 04:08.45 | tuxthepenguin | ahh! |
| 04:08.51 | pupnik | i think they changed the process a bit |
| 04:08.55 | tuxthepenguin | ok which one: 2.0? 3.0? |
| 04:10.05 | pupnik | Version: 1.0.7 |
| 04:10.07 | tuxthepenguin | (oops just noticed I said maemo 3.0 again - I am actually installing 3.1 so I can upgrade immediately to 3.2 - this is a clean install inside a nice user mode linux box) |
| 04:10.12 | tuxthepenguin | Wow! |
| 04:10.26 | tuxthepenguin | that's pretty old i suspect |
| 04:10.45 | pupnik | scratchbox version != maemo version |
| 04:11.36 | tuxthepenguin | ahh yes... my mistake |
| 04:11.38 | tuxthepenguin | ok |
| 04:11.39 | pupnik | interesting uml |

| 04:12.02 | tuxthepenguin | which maemo SDK do you have? |
| 04:12.20 | tuxthepenguin | did you install the nokia binaries too? |
| 04:12.22 | pupnik | gregale, which is 2.2 i think |
| 04:13.00 | tuxthepenguin | I didn't mention it - but I also installed Xephyr - seems to work fine.. |
| 04:13.01 | pupnik | if you are following instructions exactly and getting strange errors, i fear it could be related to the UML |

| 04:38.29 | K`zan | At what point does the SDHC thing become an issue for SD cards? 4G ? |
| 04:38.50 | GeneralAntilles | There are both kinds for 4GB |
| 04:38.58 | GeneralAntilles | But the N800 will handle any SD card just fine. |
| 04:39.58 | zerojay | Anyone happen to know where the list of contacts is stored on the N800? |
| 04:40.12 | zerojay | I want to blow my contacts away and start fresh. |
| 04:40.16 | K`zan | OK, Thanks, somewhere I got the impression that above some value you needed SDHC for the cards to work. |
| 04:40.38 | GeneralAntilles | Well, yeah |
| 04:40.43 | GeneralAntilles | but the N800 supports SDHC just fine |
| 04:40.48 | GeneralAntilles | so it's not an issue. |
| 04:41.59 | K`zan | Err, sorry to be dense, but if it doesn't matter what is the point of SDHC?!? |
| 04:42.21 | GeneralAntilles | It matters for addressing the card blocks |
| 04:42.26 | K`zan | Perhaps older stuff that did't know about the limit (forget what it was now). |
| 04:42.33 | GeneralAntilles | It doesn't matter for you buying cards to put into your N800. |
| 04:42.39 | K`zan | Like my camera or the palm. |
| 04:43.04 | K`zan | Ok, looks like about $41/4G from newegg. |
| 04:43.11 | GeneralAntilles | SD addresses by byte and SDHC by sector |
| 04:43.30 | GeneralAntilles | It's a difference on the card and in the software |
| 04:43.32 | K`zan | If I have a choice would I be wiser to get the SDHC? |
| 04:43.39 | GeneralAntilles | so it matters on older devices which don't have support for sector addressing |
| 04:43.52 | GeneralAntilles | but the N800 has support for both byte and sector addressing, so it doesn't matter. |
| 04:44.05 | *** join/#maemo RP (i=1000@tim.rpsys.net) |
| 04:44.11 | GeneralAntilles | Well, yes, because 8GB isn't that much more expensive and it's twice the capacity. |
| 04:44.27 | K`zan | So the SDHC is for older devices and it fakes out older software - so to speak - so it can use more than it "should"? |
| 04:44.43 | GeneralAntilles | Uh, no. |
| 04:44.48 | K`zan | Arghhh |
| 04:44.51 | GeneralAntilles | SDHC is the new standard |
| 04:45.00 | GeneralAntilles | It supports capacities over 4GB |
| 04:45.04 | GeneralAntilles | SD does not |
| 04:45.07 | K`zan | OK, so forget SDHC for older devices. |
| 04:45.17 | GeneralAntilles | SD does not because it addresses by byte, so it runs out of address space |
| 04:45.31 | GeneralAntilles | SDHC addresses by sector (bigger) so it doesn't run out of address space nearly as fast. |
| 04:45.48 | K`zan | Some limit on that. IIRC my camera will only use 1G SD cards. |
| 04:45.52 | GeneralAntilles | But SDHC wont work in older devices without a firmware update to those devices. |
| 04:46.09 | GeneralAntilles | Well, there may be other variables involved on the camera side |
| 04:46.26 | GeneralAntilles | But SD as a STANDARD only supports 4GB (well, 2GB, but they managed to hack up 4GB cards) |
| 04:46.33 | K`zan | In the case of the N800, "don't worry about it" :-) |
| 04:46.37 | GeneralAntilles | Right. |
| 04:46.45 | K`zan | :-) done! |
| 04:46.47 | K`zan | LOL |
| 04:47.11 | GeneralAntilles | Sorry, I have a tendency to bring technical issues into play when people don't really want/need to know about them. ;) |
| 04:48.07 | K`zan | No problem, appreciate the education :-). |
| 04:48.35 | K`zan | I think I'll just go with the 2G and 1G cards I have until I have some clue about what I actually need on the n800. |
| 04:49.16 | K`zan | I got the 2G for the camera (Cannon S2IS) and I have yet to get even vaguely close to using up (at highest res) the 2500+ pix that can store :). |

| 04:54.08 | K`zan | and an 80x 1G |
| 04:54.32 | elb | I'm hoping to be able to downcode videos from my myth |
| 04:55.07 | GeneralAntilles | People have mentioned it before, elb, so, yeah, you should be able to. |
| 04:55.30 | GeneralAntilles | K`zan, stick the 4GB in the internal slot and stick swap on there and cache your maps there. |
| 04:55.57 | elb | I'm sure I can |
| 04:56.11 | elb | the only question is whether I decide it's worht the time & effort |
| 04:56.22 | elb | (depends on the quality of video I can get on and at what sizes) |
| 04:56.34 | GeneralAntilles | It looks great. |
| 04:56.50 | elb | I'll be space-constrained, I'm sure |
| 04:57.10 | GeneralAntilles | Do it on-the-fly |
| 04:58.03 | elb | ... that's not very useful |
| 04:58.22 | elb | if I'm close enough to home for that, I'll watch on the TV ;-) |
| 04:58.39 | GeneralAntilles | Then what's with space constraints? |
| 04:58.42 | elb | I'm thinking more along the lines of at 20k feet over the Atlantic |
| 04:58.52 | GeneralAntilles | Of COURSE you're going to be a little constrained on the device |
| 04:59.08 | GeneralAntilles | just buy yourself a pair of 8GB cards and you'll be set for a flight |
| 04:59.11 | elb | right, my point is, my quality will be determined by space, not what the device is capable of |
| 04:59.15 | GeneralAntilles | (and an extra battery if they don't have a jack) |
| 04:59.43 | GeneralAntilles | Hehe, my opinion is to go with the best quality and whatever fits . . . fits. ;) |
| 04:59.46 | elb | 'cause I can't afford two 8GB cards, either ;-) |
| 05:00.13 | elb | near-TV-quality can be had in about 2GB/hour at 480x480 or so |
| 05:00.15 | GeneralAntilles | Then toss a book or two into the mix to fill the rest of the time. |
| 05:00.27 | elb | 400x240 will be significantly smaller |
| 05:00.47 | GeneralAntilles | 90MB per 12 minutes for me |
| 05:00.48 | elb | heh last time I flew to Russia, I read two Aubrey/Maturin novels on the way there :-P |

| 05:09.48 | fysa | plus there are a few coupons out there |
| 05:09.51 | l7 | is Transcend better than Kensignton for SD cards? |
| 05:10.12 | fysa | just make sure it's class 6.. |
| 05:10.29 | l7 | fysa: will class 4 be noticably slower? |
| 05:10.32 | K`zan | Thanks, was just wondering about that :), 150x class6 none noted... |
| 05:10.38 | tuxthepenguin | another canned kernel from there had it built-in (it was also newer - kernel 2.6.23 instead of 2.6.19rc5 |
| 05:10.48 | l7 | i'm wondering if it's worth the extra $10 |
| 05:11.12 | fysa | every bit helps with the n800 :) |
| 05:11.21 | l7 | ah :\ |
| 05:11.25 | K`zan | is 150x better than class 6? |
| 05:11.31 | l7 | the n800 is a little pokey? |
| 05:11.41 | l7 | i tried it out in store, but i'm not sure if the firmware was updated |
| 05:12.17 | l7 | K`zan: you can check out this page for tests: http://www.valuemedia.co.uk/sd_chart.htm |
| 05:12.22 | fysa | ... it's a handheld. without a hdd and with 128mb. faster card = faster swap |
| 05:12.45 | K`zan | Is the flash a disk in the N800 or RAM - yes, my ignorance at this point is legion, sigh... |
| 05:12.51 | l7 | hrm yeah |
| 05:13.09 | astro76 | these speed tests cover SDHC cards http://www.digitalversus.com/article-388.html |
| 05:13.11 | K`zan | Or both... |
| 05:13.12 | _Monkey | both are important |
| 05:13.14 | K`zan | LOl |
| 05:13.50 | astro76 | and if you compare kingston class 2 versus class 6, there's hardly a difference, so take the classes with a grain of salt http://www.digitalversus.com/article-388-2408-87.html |
| 05:14.01 | GeneralAntilles | There flash in the device for storage and there's RAM inside the device, too. |
| 05:14.03 | l7 | the n810 spec sheet says it has 128mb ddr ram and 256MB flash... |
| 05:14.17 | GeneralAntilles | class2 is AT LEAST 2MB/sec |
| 05:14.22 | GeneralAntilles | class6 is AT LEAST 6MB/sec |
| 05:14.25 | astro76 | indeed |

| 05:43.16 | astro76 | pupnik_, how about micro sdhc? seems like that is more popular, 8gb has just been announced |

| 05:43.56 | l7 | GeneralAntilles: does MTK GPS chipset = iblue? |
| 05:43.59 | K`zan | One company makes them then 100 sell them with different packaging and prices :) |

| 05:47.14 | astro76 | yeah that solar one is cool |
| 05:47.56 | astro76 | pupnik_, wow that sandisc 6gb microsdhc is a really good card |

| 05:49.33 | l7 | GeneralAntilles: what do you like and or dislike about it? |
| 05:49.50 | pupnik_ | as usual germany is lagged behind the rest of the planet - no sdhc cards in the major shops |
| 05:49.57 | l7 | astro76: i guess that means they'll have the best software support in the maemo community then |

| 07:06.53 | l7 | GeneralAntilles: caching = recording your trips? |
| 07:07.23 | l7 | i guess you could set the n800 to do that if you had it with you... |
| 07:07.56 | GeneralAntilles | The 747 will record GPS points independent of a host device. |
| 07:08.04 | l7 | it does look nifty for travelling... if one left the n800 behind |
| 07:08.06 | GeneralAntilles | I'd just record with the N800 |
| 07:08.23 | GeneralAntilles | Especially since you want to NAVIGATE with it |
| 07:08.29 | GeneralAntilles | not just look back at where you went. |
| 07:10.20 | l7 | hrm yeah |
| 07:10.29 | l7 | the only reason i might leave the n800 behind is bulk |
| 07:11.02 | db48x | also "Please note that recorded data can only be downloaded through USB interface only." |
| 07:11.05 | l7 | looks like it's a $20 premium for the 747 over the 737 |

| 08:20.02 | astro76 | supposedly the mac was from a nokia review device |
| 08:20.28 | astro76 | I can wait for official release... glad to here the 400 MHz cpu is true though |
| 08:21.32 | astro76 | * I mean a prerelease n810 sent from nokia to a reviewer |
| 08:22.41 | unique311 | so the upgrade boost the cpu |
| 08:23.00 | czr | I guess it's a bug from nokia to allow the prerel macs to be used to download the firmwares then. or maybe not. who knows. |
| 08:23.06 | unique311 | doesn't mean the release for the n800 will do the same |
| 08:23.33 | astro76 | it's the same cpu as the n810... I read something about improved power management in the kernel enabling the bump |
| 08:23.39 | astro76 | and yes it's been confirmed in the n800 |
| 08:23.50 | unique311 | cool |
| 08:24.06 | pupnik | you'll still burn through battery faster if you're running games or movies, afaik |
| 08:24.18 | astro76 | I'd imagine |
| 08:25.20 | czr | hmm. where would one see the max speed anyway? |
| 08:25.26 | czr | I mean under /proc or somewhere |

| 08:26.30 | vegai | I don't have my device yet... |
| 08:27.41 | astro76 | pupnik, what problem is that? no problems here with transcend 8gb sdhc.... AFAIK there is a 4gb model that many camera users have had problems with |

| 08:54.09 | doc|home | so, someone clarify for me please, the n800 doesn't have gps, right? |
| 08:54.17 | unique311 | no |
| 08:54.41 | unique311 | you can buy a gps dongle. |
| 08:54.45 | pupnik | you can pair with a bluetooth gps though, and get high quality reception |
| 08:54.50 | pupnik | bluetooth or usb? |
| 08:55.00 | unique311 | bluetooth |
| 08:55.10 | doc|home | sure, but they say "integrated gps", that's not integrated |

| 09:29.58 | Kaco | I'm planning to port my Photoshop to Maemo but it seems I missed discounts for developers on N810 |
| 09:30.11 | Kaco | is there any other way to get this nokia for development? |
| 09:30.25 | Kaco | well it's not for sale in my country as well :( |
| 09:30.45 | cosmo | we don't believe you've written Photoshop :) |
| 09:31.34 | Kaco | cosmo: http://www.kanzelsberger.com |
| 09:31.35 | cosmo | quite nice this leaked os2008.. friend just demoed to me |
| 09:32.06 | Kaco | cosmo: this is linux screenshot: http://www.kanzelsberger.com/img/linux.png |
| 09:32.15 | Kaco | application is highly portable and I can easily port it to Maemo |
| 09:32.19 | cosmo | that's Pixel, not Photoshop |
| 09:32.24 | Kaco | hehe yeah |
| 09:32.35 | Kaco | but if I said Pixel, nobody knows what it is |
| 09:32.38 | Kaco | :-D |
| 09:32.43 | pupnik | i've heard of it |
| 09:32.48 | Kaco | pupnik: ok ;-) |
| 09:32.50 | pupnik | btw nice looking app |
| 09:32.55 | cosmo | http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/index.html this is ps ;) |
| 09:33.17 | Kaco | :) |
| 09:33.39 | Kaco | so is there anybody I should officialy contact? |
| 09:33.45 | Kaco | or I just missed that |
| 09:33.49 | cosmo | Pixel looks good.. i hope you can get it ported |
| 09:34.06 | Kaco | cosmo: i checked prerequisities, it's doable in one weekend |
| 09:34.09 | pupnik | you missed it, but n800s are fairly cheap now and just as fast |
| 09:34.14 | Kaco | cosmo: polishing for 800x480 will take few more days |
| 09:34.17 | czr | cosmo, is he runnin 2008 on n800? |
| 09:34.24 | cosmo | czr: yep |
| 09:34.34 | czr | ah. people have been wondering about it here. |
| 09:34.35 | Kaco | pupnik: well I guess I'll buy N810 on web somehow when it is out |
| 09:34.40 | czr | cosmo, you're not running it yet? :-) |
| 09:34.45 | cosmo | Kaco: how about lack of right mouse button? |
| 09:34.46 | pupnik | you like the keyboard? |
| 09:34.53 | Kaco | pupnik: yeah and GPS :) |
| 09:35.11 | Kaco | when is it planned to go on sale? december? |
| 09:35.29 | cosmo | czr: not yet.. i've got other stuff to do with my n800 and at home i've got only 770 |

| 09:35.45 | tux2 | hello |
| 09:35.54 | pupnik | I dunno, mid november supposedly |
| 09:36.02 | czr | cosmo, right. good info though. thanks |
| 09:36.02 | tux2 | maemo planet |
| 09:36.10 | cosmo | he said the flash image is available at nokia d/l site and there's a mac code of n810 somewhere available. check blogs |
| 09:36.11 | Kaco | pupnik: mid november is now? |
| 09:36.17 | tux2 | I have a problem |
| 09:36.29 | czr | cosmo, the instructions did flow through here already :-) |
| 09:36.33 | tux2 | with the edit of wiki |
| 09:36.36 | czr | cosmo, check the irclog ;-) |
| 09:36.39 | czr | macs and all. |
| 09:36.49 | cosmo | ok, thanks |
| 09:36.56 | tux2 | in particular with the page wikireorg |
| 09:36.57 | Kaco | ok and last question |
| 09:37.04 | Kaco | is N800 and N810 compatible? |
| 09:37.13 | pupnik | yes, same OS |
| 09:37.14 | Kaco | i mean when I produce app for N800 will it work on N810 and vice versa? |
| 09:37.24 | czr | Kaco, yes. if they both are running the same version of OS |
| 09:37.29 | Kaco | ok that's great |
| 09:37.31 | pupnik | some N800s will still be running older OS version |
| 09:37.37 | tux2 | because don't link to the original page |
| 09:37.38 | czr | the 2008 version hasn't been (yet/officially) been released for N800 |
| 09:37.42 | Kaco | so N800 can be updated to OS2008? |
| 09:37.47 | czr | Kaco, yes |
| 09:37.48 | pupnik | yes |
| 09:37.49 | Kaco | ah ok |
| 09:37.52 | Kaco | but it is planned i guess |
| 09:37.59 | czr | it works nicely |
| 09:38.08 | czr | for 2008, you'll want to use the 4.0 sdk though. |
| 09:38.09 | Kaco | hmm but that keyboard really rocks on N810 |
| 09:38.09 | Veggen | Kaco: yes, soonish. There's an unofficial hack now. |
| 09:38.15 | Kaco | ok |
| 09:38.35 | Kaco | there's N800 on ebay for $260 ... and N810 will be something about $490 |
| 09:38.37 | tux2 | Can someone help |
| 09:38.39 | Kaco | i will think about it :) |
| 09:38.47 | tux2 | me to the wiki problem |
| 09:38.52 | pupnik | i promise not to work on mtpaint (cough) |
| 09:38.53 | czr | Kaco, it boils down to the keyboard and gps really. |
| 09:39.10 | Kaco | well and that is a good reason for me to wait for N810 |
| 09:39.11 | czr | Kaco, maybe size too, but the size diff is pretty marginal |
| 09:39.16 | Kaco | but it's expensive damn it |
| 09:39.23 | Kaco | it also looks better ;-) |
| 09:39.33 | pupnik | sony ux is expensive |
| 09:40.00 | czr | Kaco, if you already have a working bt GPS, I'd go for the N800 |
| 09:40.16 | czr | otoh, it's up to you of course :-) |
| 09:40.26 | pupnik | how many commercial apps are there for the tablets? |
| 09:40.32 | Kaco | well GPS is not that important for me, more like a bonus |
| 09:40.35 | Kaco | but keyboard :) |
| 09:41.01 | czr | I still write faster with the vkb on n800 than the keyboard on n810 :-) |
| 09:41.06 | Kaco | but I guess there are some USB keyboards ? |
| 09:41.14 | czr | the keyboard needs some time to get used to |
| 09:41.16 | pupnik | Kaco - there appears to also be pressure sensitivity for the stylus that you can use |
| 09:41.18 | Kaco | czr: do you have N810? |
| 09:41.25 | czr | Kaco, yes. |
| 09:41.28 | Kaco | pupnik: oh with N810?? that's cool |
| 09:41.39 | Kaco | czr: but it is not yet on sale... so you've got dev version? |
| 09:41.48 | czr | I built one myself! |
| 09:41.53 | astro76 | Kaco, no reason for ebay, it's ~230 in regular stores |
| 09:41.55 | Kaco | czr: haha, how? |
| 09:42.01 | czr | Kaco, joking. dev version. |
| 09:42.16 | Kaco | czr: ok do you think it is still possible to get dev version from nokia? |
| 09:42.28 | Kaco | czr: I tried to contact them, but they left me with no response |
| 09:42.32 | czr | ah, if you mean the developer program, then probably not |
| 09:42.38 | astro76 | Kaco, the display on the n810 is also a big consideration |
| 09:42.52 | Kaco | astro76: yeah I read somewhere it has better contrast |
| 09:42.58 | Kaco | czr: hm too bad |
| 09:43.06 | czr | Kaco, I didn't participate in the dev program. those will be sold when the device hits the markets |
| 09:43.21 | astro76 | Kaco, it's transflective, readable in full sunlight |
| 09:43.26 | Kaco | czr: so how did you get it? :) |

| 09:43.36 | Kaco | there's one N810 on ebay |

| 09:44.05 | Kaco | ahha :-D |
| 09:44.33 | czr | timeless, hmm. weird. seems that keeping a youtube page open in microb will keep the device from going into powersave mode. |
| 09:44.53 | czr | timeless, although not really sure whether this is a microb issue, but people are likely to run into it with youtube anyway |
| 09:45.14 | czr | or maybe something else is happening.. mhmhm. |
| 09:45.27 | czr | cause now the backlight was shut off.. |
| 09:45.39 | gla55_ | well you wouldn't want to go to powersave when viewing a vid, no? |

| 10:17.18 | pupnik | and yeah binary now. early .ps was text-editable |
| 10:17.41 | czr | pupnik, why would you want to edit ps? :-) |
| 10:17.52 | L0cutus | alternatives ? |
| 10:17.53 | TPC | pdf as a format is not too fat and slow |
| 10:17.57 | TPC | the problem is that people use it the wrong way |
| 10:18.10 | TPC | putting text as images for example, that makes pdfs very slow |
| 10:18.20 | czr | the pdf base format is quite simple though. much easier to use than ps ever was. ps was too free-form for structural processing. |
| 10:18.24 | pupnik | give another example |
| 10:19.14 | TPC | well, using it for the wrong purposes |
| 10:19.24 | TPC | documents intended for online viewing should be html |
| 10:19.34 | TPC | thats not what pdf was designed for |
| 10:20.03 | TPC | it was designed for having a single format that would look the same both on the computer and when printed |
| 10:20.11 | pupnik | pdf wasn't designed, it is a cancer |
| 10:20.15 | TPC | so its good for things like newspapers, books, some documents |
| 10:21.05 | L0cutus | i'm trying to open a 30mb pdf book ... |
| 10:21.06 | pupnik | L0cutus: well you can download pdf2html |
| 10:21.24 | pupnik | i disagree that it's good. i think it's bad. |
| 10:21.25 | L0cutus | thanks, i'll try |
| 10:21.26 | czr | pupnik, being cancer doesn't mean it wasn't designed. the current specs are quite bloated, javascript, flash and whatnot. but it doesn't mean that pdf wasn't designed |
| 10:21.35 | TPC | L0cutus, if its 30mb then it probably have lots of images |
| 10:21.44 | L0cutus | it is a rails book |
| 10:21.47 | czr | the 1.0-1.2 were still pretty good versions. although 1.2 started getting a lot of complex operators and implementing them correctly is difficult. |
| 10:22.10 | czr | what still gets me is pdfs total lack of unicode support. |
| 10:22.32 | czr | it's just crazy what must be done in order to embed a ttf which uses unidode codepoints (more than 256 of them at once) |
| 10:22.40 | TPC | sure, it would be better if everyone switched to LaTeX |
| 10:22.47 | TPC | but thats not going to happen |

| 10:25.35 | sebu_ | nokia service centers are not very helpful, here in my area they don't know how to handle a n800 |
| 10:25.36 | czr | try 12345? |
| 10:26.15 | czr | hmm. didn't it ask you for a lock code when you did the "device lock"? |
| 10:26.17 | sebu_ | czr, i had changed to code many months ago, i never itended so use the lock so i didn't remember the code :/ |
| 10:26.20 | czr | ah |
| 10:26.33 | czr | not sure whether reflashing will erase the lock |
| 10:26.35 | czr | anyone? |

| 10:26.46 | czr | I see. |

| 10:27.16 | X-Fade_ | s/but/bug/ |
| 10:27.24 | sebu_ | czr, according to wiki flashing does not reset the lock (they say some old firmware updates reset it, but i don't know which... |
| 10:27.43 | sebu_ | X-Fade_, is there only one OS2006 image around? |
| 10:27.52 | X-Fade_ | And did you try that? |
| 10:29.17 | sebu_ | X-Fade_, i didn't try firmware updates yet for one reason: i have ssh access to the device, so i "hacked" it by replacing some binaries which block bootup / ask for the pin with dummy shell scripts :) so i can use the IT, but as soon as i reflash (and i want OS2008!) the device will be locked again |

| 10:55.45 | Gubbe | czr: Right. Thanks anyway =) |
| 10:56.03 | czr | X-Fade_, any idea why they're flashing the parts separately though? in the instructions |
| 10:56.04 | X-Fade_ | czr: Nope, check OS2007 for 770.. |
| 10:56.23 | X-Fade_ | czr: As flashing the bootloaders will brick your device perhaps? :) |

| 13:29.49 | alterego | milhouse, java system? |
| 13:29.53 | _berto_ | it doesn't matter, you asked who would want to write in java |
| 13:29.55 | _berto_ | I answered |
| 13:30.07 | alterego | milhouse, we know it's not Suns' VM why don't you just drop it. It's Java :P |
| 13:30.07 | milhouse | java system -> java bytecode |
| 13:30.18 | Jaffa | milhouse: the Java class library's a pretty strong incentive. As is the fact that any language which compiles to bytecode (JRuby, Groovy, Jython) can also be used and then compiled to their custom bytecode. |
| 13:30.47 | alterego | Jaffa, that's something I'm quite interested in ;) Though I think I prefer xruby. |
| 13:31.34 | milhouse | jaffa - sure, just thought I'd make the point it's not a fully fledged java "system" as most people might understand it... |
| 13:31.37 | Khertan | "Java will run better in android than python in maemo" ... Your re kidding ? |
| 13:31.46 | alterego | O_o |

| 13:31.59 | Jaffa | Khertan: I'd put money on it. A lot of money on it. |
| 13:32.06 | Jaffa | Python on Maemo takes too long to start up, for one. |
| 13:32.18 | alterego | What's "better"? |
| 13:32.22 | gla55_ | it's not java bytecode in android |
| 13:32.23 | Khertan | Startup and after ... |
| 13:32.55 | Khertan | Have you try a jvm on an arm ? It s really slow |
| 13:32.58 | alterego | I guess they can't take advantage of ARM Java acceleration .. |
| 13:33.10 | Khertan | Specially in gui |
| 13:33.25 | gla55_ | no use arguing about it before they bring devices |
| 13:33.28 | alterego | I think that's based more on opinion. |
| 13:33.31 | felipec | "better" as in "apparently better from the user's perspective" as in more responsive and faster |
| 13:33.31 | gla55_ | can't know how fast they are |
| 13:33.34 | milhouse | altergo: more NDA crapness regarding Jazelle, this time from ARM... :( |
| 13:34.03 | Jaffa | Khertan: a) it isn't interpreting Java bytecode; b) given their system is based around Java, they'd be nuts to have it as slow as Python on Maemo. If every app on Maemo was written in Python, the interpreter load time problem would be fixed fairly quickly. |
| 13:34.08 | suihkulokki | so all of you guys are ready to give up r00t for a java-incompatible java-like vm ? |
| 13:34.31 | alterego | Are you sure it's the interpreter load time? |

| 13:35.10 | gla55_ | what matters is what kind of devices it will come out on and whats allowed on those devices.. |
| 13:35.13 | Jaffa | gla55_: a good point, but Google's ploughing money into it, so it's worth watching. |
| 13:35.28 | Jaffa | gla55_: exactly. |

| 13:35.46 | milhouse | ARM... x86... |
| 13:35.52 | gla55_ | jaffa: and it's fast enough to switch deving for it if they get enough marketshare that they matter |
| 13:35.59 | Jaffa | gla55_: worth watching slightly more because of Google, but not much more - I grant you. |
| 13:36.08 | Jaffa | gla55_: agreed. |
| 13:36.09 | felipec | indeed, and I bet Google can put some millions here and there to make an efficient Java VM, but I agree, only when the devices are out we will see |

| 13:40.12 | alterego | Why does it _need_ it? |

| 13:40.27 | jott | to make use of it?! |
| 13:40.35 | alterego | And why doesn't someone dev some OSS drivers :P |
| 13:40.37 | Jaffa | I think the hardware's pretty fab. But the Eee is now undercutting the tablet and is more functional; the iPhone's raised the software game. OS2008 and the N810 look good, and I'm sure *I*'ll enjoy them; but larger market => more devs => more apps => more useful. |
| 13:40.59 | jott | alterego: oss drivers would be even better, thats for sure ;) |
| 13:41.02 | Jaffa | alterego: If we haven't yet got 3D OSS drivers for NVIDIA cards, why on earth would we have them for some niche little TI chip? |
| 13:41.21 | Jaffa | Not many Linux hackers working on OMAP, compared with nouveau |
| 13:41.22 | jott | Jaffa: well that's a matter of specs.. :/ |
| 13:41.23 | alterego | There are OSS nVidia drivers .. |
| 13:41.24 | gla55_ | i don't really care if it would be oss drivers or not |
| 13:41.29 | gla55_ | just that nokia would make it happen |
| 13:41.35 | lardman | powervr? |
| 13:41.53 | Jaffa | alterego: They just do 2D on a limited subset of cards. There's very little 3D support beyond *sometimes* running glgears |
| 13:42.05 | alterego | :) |
| 13:42.23 | alterego | If I knew how to develop PowerVR drivers for the OMAP I would. |
| 13:42.28 | wumpus | Jaffa: at least people are working on them |
| 13:42.30 | X-Fade | It seems that pepperpad had drivers for linux 2.6 for the powervr chip. So it shouldn't be terribly hard to get them? |
| 13:42.31 | alterego | But I don't so I'm not going to :) |
| 13:42.51 | Jaffa | wumpus: indeed. |
| 13:42.58 | alterego | X-Fade, the drivers are free but they don't work with Maemo binaries. |
| 13:43.03 | alterego | It's binary incompatible .. |
| 13:43.04 | lardman | have you tried? |
| 13:43.16 | X-Fade | alterego: Sure, but they are not a big company :) |
| 13:43.19 | alterego | Anyhow, I need a shower. |
| 13:43.26 | wumpus | X-Fade: it's not for the right architecture afaik |
| 13:43.26 | lardman | is it possible to use kernel drivers from a different version kernel? |
| 13:43.31 | Jaffa | It's going to be easier to decompile them, and reassemble them than it is to write OSS drivers from scratch. |
| 13:43.32 | lardman | ah, ok |
| 13:43.50 | alterego | Jaffa, yeah. That thought crossed my mind several times .. |

| 13:44.33 | wumpus | well if it's only for one graphics chip, writing drivers isn't that teriibly hard, the hard part of nouveau and other open source drivers is having to supports zillions of cards |
| 13:45.09 | *** join/#maemo alex-weej (n=alex@cpc1-acto9-0-0-cust931.brnt.cable.ntl.com) |
| 13:45.18 | Jaffa | wumpus: that's true |
| 13:45.27 | jott | and the drivers would only need to support the opengl es subset ;) |
| 13:45.30 | X-Fade | My guess is that the powervr is seriously underpowerd for our screensize. And maybe has the same bus issues as movies have? |
| 13:45.43 | wumpus | but you'd still need to know what commands to send to the chip.. or even where to send the commands at all |
| 13:45.55 | wumpus | yes, it has the same bus issues |
| 13:46.08 | wumpus | it'd only speed up rendering to a memory buffer, not sending it through the slow pipe to the LCD |
| 13:46.10 | X-Fade | And is designed for 320x240 orso :) |
| 13:46.20 | Jaffa | I've not looked at the architecture diagram recently, but the problem with the video bandwidth is getting frames from the CPU to the LCD controller. That problem would exist whether the ARM core's doing it or the PowerVR bit of the chip |
| 13:46.32 | Jaffa | ...i.e. what wumpus said |

| 13:48.23 | Spakman | I'm writing a Ruby hildon app which creates and draws a lot of pixmaps from pixbufs. I'm finding that the X memory usage escalates quickly even though my objects are out of scope. Does anyone know how to free/destroy the pixmaps in the X server? |
| 13:48.38 | lardman | https://focus-webapps.ti.com/general/docs/event/eventresultsaction.tsp?actionId=264 is another option for the kernel driver |
| 13:48.44 | lardman | 2.6.10 |
| 13:48.46 | timeless | my coworker asks if the same people who developed the mmc support for the n800/n810 are responsible for the n81 8gb :) |
| 13:48.54 | timeless | so at least he has a sense of humor :) |
| 13:49.09 | timeless | oh, that's better, i also broke the reporting app |
| 13:49.42 | milhouse | having 3D OpenGL support on the Nx0, crappy video bandwidth or not, would be a good proving ground for the Step 4 device (N900?) that almost certainly wouldn't (fingers crossed) have crap video bandwidth. |
| 13:49.44 | tigert | stay away from my N81 :D |
| 13:49.53 | wumpus | lardman: but does it include the powervr driver? |
| 13:49.58 | lardman | yes |
| 13:50.01 | jott | lardman: yeah but thats omap2430 :/ |
| 13:50.16 | lardman | true, the 2420 link says to grab the 2430 sdk... |
| 13:50.51 | jott | well if they wrote a generic driver it could be worth a try.. |
| 13:51.15 | lardman | what does a fillrate of over 300 million pixels/s give in terms of resolution vs framerate |

| 13:51.58 | wumpus | some time ago I tried various things to load that kernel module, but it stubbornly refused any try :) |
| 13:52.07 | unique311 | TPC, are you going with 08? |
| 13:52.11 | TPC | unique311, yes |
| 13:52.40 | lardman | wumpus: it's big too, ~1MB! |
| 13:52.48 | wumpus | there should be an option somewhere for linux to ignore the version info, but haven't found it |
| 13:53.05 | wumpus | yep, very big, that kind of makes reverse engineering out of the question too |
| 13:53.06 | pc_speaker | http://www.internettablettalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=11693&page=4 |
| 13:53.28 | lardman | I was thinking of creating a gpe-image with the correct kernel version, etc. to see if it would work |
| 13:53.29 | pc_speaker | I hope everyone already flahed os2008 to their n800? :) |
| 13:53.59 | lardman | Right, in terms of fillrate, the powervr mbx should manage ~975fps |
| 13:54.06 | wumpus | it's bigger than the nvidia driver for x86, it probably includes an entire opengl implementation... maybe this 'powervr' is a few instructions to speed up 3d, like 3dnow, and not a real hardware renderer |
| 13:54.52 | lardman | it is real hw, http://www.imgtec.com/PowerVR/Products/Graphics/MBX/index.asp?Page=1 |
| 13:55.03 | gla55_ | it's more than just instructions thats for sure |
| 13:55.08 | lardman | but yes, most of the opengl stuff may be in that module |
| 13:55.10 | gla55_ | you can see the hw in action in n95 and e90 |
| 13:55.23 | milhouse | isn't powervr based on rendering "tiles"? |
| 13:55.27 | gla55_ | yeah |
| 13:55.29 | gla55_ | some stuff like that |
| 13:56.19 | wumpus | I just don't see how a hardware accelerated opengl es driver tailored to a single chip should be that big |
| 13:56.28 | lardman | hasn't the pepperpad got a different powervr chip type? |
| 13:56.47 | gla55_ | isn't pepperpad geode based? |
| 13:56.57 | Spakman | alterego: are you around? |
| 13:57.07 | wumpus | the new one is, the old one was arm based I think |

| 13:59.24 | jott | well if you strip the 1mb module its down to 63kb ;) |
| 13:59.47 | lardman | ah-ha |
| 13:59.48 | wumpus | are you sure you can strip kernel modules safely? |
| 14:00.19 | wumpus | that'd be fun, because it means they include 900kb of debug symbols |
| 14:00.31 | lardman | would make life easier at least |
| 14:00.34 | jott | makes the objdump -d output nice ;) |
| 14:00.41 | wumpus | indeed |
| 14:01.18 | jott | 14988 lines of objdump asm code ;) |
| 14:01.47 | lardman | is their opengl implementation also unstripped? |
| 14:01.51 | wumpus | but yeah someone should try loading the module first, even if you patch the version info using a hex editor :P |
| 14:02.32 | jott | mh i suppose the sdk might contain debug symbols - would make sense at least ;) |
| 14:02.38 | lardman | probably get symbols errors though |
| 14:02.39 | unique311 | so you get the chip working, what next? |
| 14:02.44 | wumpus | the kernel interface usually is quite stable between releases |
| 14:03.02 | lardman | opengl is the next step |
| 14:03.48 | wumpus | well if it at least recognizes the chip then you are sure the driver works, which would be a very nice start |
| 14:05.01 | wumpus | although modern graphics drivers usually just map the device to user space, and let the opengl lib handle the rest |
| 14:06.13 | jott | but it's still funny to release a module with full debug symbols for an embedded device :) |
| 14:06.25 | wumpus | yeah |
| 14:06.44 | lardman | well it is for the devel toolchain |

| 14:11.52 | jott | but why the hell one packages an exe with zip and this exe is just an installer that has another zip in it!? |
| 14:11.59 | wumpus | depends on where you live |
| 14:12.14 | jott | lardman: here it is legal to ensure interoperability (ianal) |
| 14:12.25 | wumpus | I don't think it's a good idea to talk about it in public |
| 14:12.33 | lardman | Just wondering in general terms |
| 14:13.04 | wumpus | intercepting rendering commands to the hardware is legal though, so that's usually how os drivers are developed, not by disassembly |
| 14:13.11 | X-Fade | lardman: Just do a clean reimplementation.. reverse engineer and write a description. Someone else needs to write a driver based on the description. |
| 14:13.16 | jott | but in the end its a matter of jurisdiction.. |
| 14:13.37 | lardman | X-Fade: Is that legal though? For the person who does the reverse engineering? |
| 14:13.39 | X-Fade | Well, 'just' ;) |
| 14:13.54 | X-Fade | lardman: As long as that is legal in your country.. |
| 14:14.04 | lardman | wumpus: yes, intercepting the commands would be reasonable |

| 14:14.32 | X-Fade | lardman: Everone not in the US, should be a lot more safe.. |
| 14:14.46 | wumpus | anyway, if you do use disassembly, don't tell anyone |
| 14:15.14 | lardman | wumpus: in which case I wonder if the kernel driver could be wrapped and the wrapper used to link in, no problems with kernel version then |
| 14:15.15 | X-Fade | But if they wrote an opensource driver, that is a lot easier ;) |

| 14:34.34 | Tak | I thought the SDHC spec supported up to 16G without hackery; it was just a matter of cramming the storage into the space? |
| 14:34.38 | Ar-ras | :) I see ;) |
| 14:34.43 | X-Fade | Ar-ras: You didn't read the message.. |
| 14:34.57 | Ar-ras | I read the message ;) |
| 14:35.31 | milhouse | Tak: 32GB is the limit for SDHC |
| 14:35.35 | Ar-ras | it is just stupid, to put Skype into "startmenu", if it isnt already installed :O |
| 14:35.36 | wumpus | then again, I don't have a clue how SDHC is implemented, if it allows for 16GB it's worth a try I'd say |
| 14:36.38 | KevinVerma | TPC, the older skype does not run on os2008 ? |
| 14:36.47 | Tak | so...I'd think any driver implementation should support 32G without having to rehack it all the damn time |
| 14:36.58 | alterego | Yah |
| 14:37.05 | X-Fade | KevinVerma: 2008 is incompatible with 2007. |
| 14:37.15 | alterego | KevinVerma, 2007 software is not binary conmpatible with 2008 |
| 14:37.20 | milhouse | Tak: yes, supporting the spec would be the smart thing to do |
| 14:37.22 | gla55_ | tak: nokia doesn't live by that logic on symbian |
| 14:37.44 | wumpus | Tak: it could still be a crappy interface chip |
| 14:38.15 | milhouse | gla55_ Fortunately Nokia didn't write the SDHC support in Linux (though they may have meddled with it...) |

| 15:16.05 | lardman | yeah, I reckon it is |

| 15:16.37 | rev | i don't know about the N810, if it's seen some huge boost in CPU MIPS/MHz |
| 15:16.50 | lardman | would be pretty cool though :) |
| 15:16.57 | milhouse | rev - different ARM revisions aren't they? The Axim uses the (quite old) Intel/Marvel StrongARM which is a generation before the OMAP2420 |
| 15:17.05 | Atarii | yea then get ut3 to work :p |
| 15:17.16 | guardian | but there is no 3d accel on the tablets |
| 15:17.20 | milhouse | rev - so comparing CPUs on speed alone isn't possible |
| 15:17.22 | rev | milhouse: they are different revisions, but the Axim's CPU beats out the 770 and N800's quite a bit |
| 15:17.24 | lardman | SA, sure it's not an XScale? |
| 15:17.34 | rev | milhouse: in my case, i'm comparing performance on a specific app |
| 15:17.45 | milhouse | lardman: one of the two :) |
| 15:17.54 | lardman | milhouse: old anyway :) |
| 15:18.05 | milhouse | positively prehistoric! |
| 15:18.07 | rev | milhouse: i can't remember the numbers, but it is a 2-4x difference in CPU crunchage and a similar amount in 2D gfx (mind you, not what is to be used) |
| 15:18.19 | rev | it's an XScale, can't remember the # |
| 15:18.24 | rev | 255 |
| 15:19.13 | milhouse | i think the XScale/SA processors have SSE extensions which might help certain applications, whereas the OMAP cpus have power optimisations and can execute general instructions more efficiently than the Intel processors... swings and roundabouts probably |
| 15:19.27 | lardman | is insmod stand-alone? Or do I need to install all of the new module-init-tools? |
| 15:19.44 | lardman | milhouse: the omaps also have the sse instructions |
| 15:19.59 | lardman | they are just an arm11 chip afterall |
| 15:20.04 | milhouse | lardman: thanks, didn't know that |
| 15:20.12 | rev | i don't see how the N800 could be faster on a per-MHz basis than a P3, though |
| 15:20.24 | rev | as the N800 is lacking an FPU |
| 15:20.26 | lardman | there are also some new instructions, called dsp instructions, do parallel bits and bobs |
| 15:20.30 | milhouse | I've got a 400Mhz P3 in an IBM laptop |
| 15:20.32 | lardman | n800 has an fpu |
| 15:20.38 | rev | and a P3 at 320 MHz didn't play Q3 so well |
| 15:20.42 | rev | it does? |

| 15:21.00 | guardian | are there rumors about a 3d driver for the N800? |
| 15:21.03 | lardman | dsp is fixed point |
| 15:21.05 | guardian | or nothing at all ? |
| 15:21.08 | rev | vfp = virtual? software fp? |
| 15:21.15 | lardman | vector floating point |
| 15:21.15 | milhouse | the N800 has an fpu, of sorts doesn't it? i'm sure it supports hardware floating point |
| 15:21.29 | milhouse | unlike the 770 |
| 15:21.33 | lardman | yes |

| 15:43.14 | lardman | the n800 results are with a statically compiled libm using vfp, the normal one doesn't use it |
| 15:43.34 | rev | not to say that you wouldn't do that for porting q3, but just curious if it uses it by default in the base math libs |
| 15:43.52 | lardman | rev: e.g. http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/maemo/developers/15646?page=last |
| 15:44.20 | lardman | maemo isn't compiled with it enabled though, hence needing to statically link against a vfp libm |
| 15:45.11 | lardman | rev: so you need CFLAGS=CXXFLAG=-mfpu=vfp -mfloat-abi=softfp |
| 15:45.19 | alterego | What's this about people pinching MAC's for N810 preview devices and downloading OS2008? |
| 15:45.22 | lardman | s/CXXFLAG/CXXFLAGS |
| 15:46.24 | rev | lardman: ah ok, definately not a hassle then |
| 15:47.11 | lardman | no, not a problem at all, just be careful with the other possible flag (-mcpu=arm1136j-s) as qemu can't run this code |
| 15:47.53 | sciboy | alterego, Forums know all |
| 15:48.08 | alterego | :/ |
| 15:48.08 | sciboy | Speaking of which my firmware download just finished! |
| 15:48.17 | alterego | 2008? |
| 15:48.18 | _Monkey | 2008 is the year of the open handheld/phone |
| 15:48.22 | sciboy | Yes |
| 15:48.32 | florian | yes :) |
| 15:48.39 | alterego | Do you have an N810? |
| 15:48.42 | sciboy | Nope |
| 15:48.51 | alterego | Is it out? |
| 15:48.54 | Tak | also, if you're going to compile with vfp stuff, be kind to 2007HE users and compile a version without as well ;-) |
| 15:48.56 | sciboy | Nope |
| 15:49.00 | zoran | what do you expect from 2008? |
| 15:49.13 | alterego | O_o |
| 15:49.14 | sciboy | A slight speed boost and the ability to use the browser. |
| 15:49.21 | alterego | So you're being a naughty boy .. |
| 15:49.25 | sciboy | Yep |
| 15:49.33 | lardman | Tak: good point |
| 15:49.50 | alterego | Well, I wont ask where you got the MAC from :P |
| 15:50.00 | sciboy | Who said I needed a MAC? |
| 15:50.10 | alterego | You don't? |
| 15:50.13 | sciboy | And most people got it from a photo on engadget of the n810 |
| 15:50.23 | alterego | Hah |
| 15:50.52 | alterego | I wonder if Nokia mind .. |
| 15:51.04 | alterego | If they don't .. I'll have a hunt for it. |
| 15:51.04 | sciboy | We'll find out soon enough |
| 15:51.07 | alterego | Hah |
| 15:51.20 | alterego | When you activate the auto_brick christmas coal? |
| 15:51.25 | sciboy | It's in the ITT forums, under the OS2008 area |
| 15:51.26 | alterego | (pun on easter egg) |
| 15:51.34 | sciboy | There's two threads, one has a rather obvious title |
| 15:51.39 | alterego | I think I'll wait for the official release. |
| 15:51.47 | sciboy | May the gods of flashing internal memory shine their light upon me and deliver me from the evil of bricking |
| 15:52.11 | alterego | The kernel looks like it's built for both devices. |
| 15:52.13 | zoran | browser issue means something special? |
| 15:52.24 | alterego | So everything should work. |
| 15:52.49 | milhouse | hmmm... are nokia having a laugh with the first image in the Images app? :) |
| 15:52.53 | milhouse | (on OS2008) |
| 15:53.00 | sciboy | alterego, There's a few device specific issues. |
| 15:53.07 | teprrr | milhouse, what picture is it? |
| 15:53.09 | sciboy | alterego, Locking being the most prominent one. |
| 15:53.21 | alterego | Locking? |
| 15:53.28 | sciboy | alterego, You can lock, but without the keyboard you can't unlock the device. |
| 15:53.33 | sciboy | Locking the screen etc. |
| 15:53.37 | alterego | Ah |
| 15:53.42 | zoran | buttons? |
| 15:53.46 | alterego | I kind of _need_ that .. |
| 15:53.53 | lardman | yes you can |
| 15:54.14 | sciboy | I'm just going by the reports out already. |
| 15:54.30 | lardman | not that I've installed it of course, but someone I know just showed me |
| 15:54.52 | X-Fade | lardman: Oh, sure ;) |
| 15:55.01 | alterego | Hah |
| 15:55.24 | milhouse | all my buttons just stopped working in OS2008 - had to reboot from a ssh session. odd. |
| 15:55.38 | lardman | O:-) |
| 15:55.42 | X-Fade | lardman: You can always say that your developer device code, warrants the use of 2008 ;) |
| 15:55.59 | milhouse | teprrr: it's a dirty great big apple :) |
| 15:56.18 | lardman | X-Fade: something like that :) |
| 15:56.26 | alterego | Heh |
| 15:56.42 | lardman | let's be realistic, if there was a problem they'd have pulled the download I imagine |
| 15:56.43 | sciboy | Finished flashing! |
| 15:56.45 | alterego | I still think I'll wait./ |
| 15:57.22 | alterego | Though I have got the N810 dmesg output from thoughtfix. |
| 15:57.25 | sciboy | Oh wow this is sexy. |
| 15:57.28 | X-Fade | As I said. OS2008 is great, but without apps... |

| 15:59.00 | lardman | so, anyone know if insmod can be replaced without needing to change anything else? |

| 16:00.20 | milhouse | rev: i thought i'd seen someone else mention it... hope it doesn't happen again, pretty serious problem if it does (then again it could be an issue with the N800 not liking this version of OS 2008!) |

| 16:02.29 | alterego | Why does the example unpack the fiasco image? |
| 16:02.49 | lardman | so as not to flash the bootloader which may be different |
| 16:02.50 | alterego | Is there some kind of device ID check code or something? |

| 16:03.01 | foolish | Not maemo related really, but are there any channels/people related to the pimlico dates application somewhere? |
| 16:03.01 | alterego | Makes sense. |

| 16:06.36 | sciboy | Woah |

| 16:06.51 | sciboy | It's playing something that 2007 chocked on completely smoothly. |
| 16:07.02 | alterego | Nice. |
| 16:07.09 | alterego | What about the nseries website? :) |
| 16:08.50 | guardian | is there a memory card format that is better to have than another ? |
| 16:10.03 | zoran | fs? |
| 16:10.03 | _Monkey | somebody said fs was the strenght of unix |
| 16:10.47 | alterego | sciboy, if you say it's worth the upgrade I'll do it now ;) |
| 16:11.00 | sciboy | alterego, Depends on the apps you use. |
| 16:11.12 | zoran | could you make a review? |
| 16:11.40 | alterego | Not many really .. |
| 16:11.52 | alterego | I guess I spend more time developing. |

| 16:14.18 | zoran | could you install xterm and openssh and all necessary stuff? |
| 16:14.28 | pcspeaker | Just flashed my n800 with os2008 :) |
| 16:14.28 | alterego | I doubt it zoran |

| 16:14.40 | alterego | I'm surrounded by bad people! |
| 16:14.46 | sciboy | zoran, Looks like xterm is already included. |
| 16:14.52 | zoran | fine |
| 16:14.54 | alterego | No shit .. Really? |
| 16:14.59 | zoran | ssh? |
| 16:14.59 | sciboy | Yes |
| 16:15.00 | _Monkey | ssh is a 'secure shell' client/server. It lets you get access to the linux shell on a Tablet. See http://maemo.org/community/wiki/installssh2006/ |
| 16:15.01 | alterego | That's .. Interesting .. |
| 16:15.16 | alterego | Cool, and interesting. |
| 16:15.20 | alterego | What xterm? |
| 16:15.21 | _Monkey | somebody said xterm was the enhanced version of osso-xterm from maemo-hackers. It adds font and color selection support, URL opening through context menu, and a sidebar with additional keys such as Ctrl+letters. http://maemo.org/downloads/product/osso-xterm-advanced or http://dastych.sh.cvut.cz/~jtra/download/maemo/xterm/debs/ for an alternate onscreen keyboard |
| 16:15.22 | sciboy | It is still a dev release though |
| 16:15.30 | alterego | Ah |
| 16:16.05 | sciboy | Not sure, it just pops open, osso_xterm, shows BusyBox v1.6.1 |
| 16:16.09 | lardman | who owns _Monkey? |
| 16:16.18 | zoran | perl, python? |

| 16:19.44 | rev | it wasn't bad moving up to SD, because you can just use an adapter, but down to mini now |

| 16:21.01 | pcspeaker | How can I check? |
| 16:21.12 | rev | pupnik: how is that? i mean, full size SD isn't big, not the card nor the pins, not like having a CF slot or something. i mean, i don't really care that much, i have mini SD for my phone and GBA flash cart, but uff, now i have a few more 1 GB cards i can't use :P |

| 16:26.38 | TPC | altought I belive it does it in the kernel rather than having a userspace daemon |
| 16:26.51 | zoran | better option |
| 16:26.51 | kriebel | guardian, the speed of the card depends more on the specs of the card and the reader, not the type of card; but I hear MMC is a little slower than the newer SD |
| 16:26.55 | sciboy | Khertan, Only other apps I have installed are Ogg Support, Mauku and FBReader |

| 16:34.25 | Ar-ras | elb what do you want to do with N800? |
| 16:34.45 | Ar-ras | maybe an old Windows Mobile Device is the right for you? |
| 16:34.59 | Ar-ras | :D |
| 16:35.20 | Ar-ras | still has DSP and stuff, but is slow |
| 16:35.23 | zoran | Ar-ras, not a windows device could help |
| 16:35.33 | elb | Ar-ras: I'm not saying slow is good, I'm saying an obsession with *CPU MHz* is stupid |
| 16:35.57 | Ar-ras | dont think so |
| 16:36.01 | zoran | elb, a lot of people means multimedia for n810 |
| 16:36.07 | jott | elb: that's the point.. especially if there are optional components that perform much better than a generic cpu.. |
| 16:36.15 | jott | (given a specific task) |
| 16:36.26 | lardman | I think the point here is that people have used the device at 330mhz and wanted it to be faster doing certain things, that's why the move to 400mhz is good |
| 16:36.45 | derf | I just want it to boot faster. |

| 16:37.03 | pcspeaker | And ARM is more power efficient but very slow comparing to the modern x86... |
| 16:37.15 | elb | lardman: there are Hitachi SuperH devices which are such |
| 16:37.30 | elb | lardman: they have hardware assist, of course, but that's the point -- *MHz* is meaningless |
| 16:37.33 | derf | It takes like over a minute to go from power on to where I can actually click on a menu. |
| 16:37.35 | milhouse | holy cow... the shared folders idea isn't working too well |
| 16:37.55 | lardman | elb: but that's a dsp |
| 16:38.14 | TPC | milhouse, why not? |
| 16:38.17 | lardman | elb: see my comment above, mhz is a useful metric sometimes |
| 16:38.18 | elb | the SuperH is a general purpose microprocessor |
| 16:38.18 | milhouse | i've got a folder with over 200GB and 20,000+ directories - each time the N800 tries to access that share it iterates every directory and file from the beginning. nuts. |
| 16:38.19 | X-Fade | derf: Why would you ever power it down? |
| 16:38.28 | lardman | elb: with a dsp |
| 16:38.38 | derf | Because it doesn't last all day otherwise. |
| 16:38.42 | elb | lardman: I still believe the comment is incorrect |
| 16:38.43 | Ar-ras | milhouse where is this option? |
| 16:38.51 | milhouse | file manager -> Shared folders |
| 16:38.58 | elb | lardman: it sounds to me like the speed improvement in OS2008 is probably, as much as anything, code and/or optimizer changes |
| 16:38.59 | zoran | milhouse, maybe the number of subdirectories matters |
| 16:39.06 | milhouse | it's picked up my NAS, Win XP and Win2K3 machines |
| 16:39.08 | lardman | elb: we'll agree to differ then :) |

| 16:39.32 | TPC | derf, because then its broken |
| 16:39.33 | lardman | elb: and that's exactly the point with mplayer |
| 16:39.34 | milhouse | but the NAS is unusable because it takes a couple of hours for the N800 to walk every directory |
| 16:39.43 | X-Fade | derf: It can be standby for days/weeks? |
| 16:39.44 | Ar-ras | milhouse dont have that option? |
| 16:39.47 | TPC | derf, when not used it uses so little power that it could just as well have been off |
| 16:39.57 | GeneralAntilles | A 20% boost is hardly trivial. |
| 16:40.01 | derf | That has not been my experience. |
| 16:40.04 | TPC | derf, standby time is up to two weeks withotu any problems |
| 16:40.13 | elb | lardman: sure, there may be a specific operation or two -- but there are zillions of people obsessing about *MHz* in here, even when they have shown themselves that 2008 does or does not fix the problem they were looking for |
| 16:40.16 | X-Fade | derf: And booting justs _A_ _LOT_ of energy! |
| 16:40.18 | milhouse | ar-ras - i'm not sure what technology it's using to share the content, UPnP maybe? |
| 16:40.30 | X-Fade | ehm ... uses.. |
| 16:40.31 | milhouse | if you've got any folders shared on an XP machine it should list it |
| 16:40.32 | Ar-ras | on ITT someone wrote UPnP |
| 16:40.34 | derf | X-Fade: It sure does. |
| 16:40.35 | zoran | milhouse, maybe some fuse option could help? |

| 16:40.55 | GeneralAntilles | There's no harm in it. ;) |
| 16:40.59 | derf | It _claims_ it will last for 9 or 10 days, but it doesn't. |
| 16:41.00 | zoran | elb, people buy device for that :) |
| 16:41.05 | Ar-ras | elb youtube is internet service |

| 16:41.53 | elb | and I *strongly* suspect that the fact that it plays now and did not before is an optimization issue, not a 70MHz processor difference |

| 16:45.06 | zoran | or something similar |
| 16:45.18 | lardman | zoran: yes |
| 16:45.21 | pupnik | the 20% boost can also be looked at like a present to us to use for software-decoding of audio, since ogg isn't on the dsp yet. :P |
| 16:45.31 | lardman | zoran: but running top will defeat dyntick |
| 16:45.35 | zoran | is there any sign of memory problem? |

| 16:46.21 | Daniellion | so far everything is working |
| 16:46.32 | Daniellion | though playing audio like the bbc radio stuff seems to lock the interface |
| 16:46.38 | zoran | lardman, if works, who cares |
| 16:47.07 | Daniellion | if i hit the dual key lock/unlock i can go to off line mode and kill the streaming net connection which lets me stop the stream app |

| 16:47.47 | lardman | elb: really? Okay, not just my imagination then :) |

| 18:05.04 | fysa | X-Chat + bitlbee is better than pidgin. :) |
| 18:05.18 | TPC | timeless, wait until 2011 when gallileo becomes aviable |
| 18:05.26 | TPC | then devices will come out that use both GPS and gallileo |

| 18:05.38 | kaltsi | b0unc3 oops it's not there :) |
| 18:05.41 | alterego | I use MSN |
| 18:05.48 | alterego | And XChat is crap on the N800 |
| 18:06.12 | GeneralAntilles | Xchat works great |
| 18:06.14 | fysa | X-Chat with Tree view. |
| 18:06.15 | fysa | perfect. |
| 18:06.19 | GeneralAntilles | Just use Skyhuser's port. |
| 18:06.22 | alterego | Not on the N800 |
| 18:06.27 | fysa | the top zoom buttons flip tabs |
| 18:06.30 | fysa | i'm using it right now. |

| 18:06.34 | GeneralAntilles | Works fine for me. :\ |
| 18:06.42 | Daniellion | link? |
| 18:06.44 | TPC | you're probably better off running irssi on a server somewhere, and sshing in |
| 18:06.54 | fysa | and bitlbee lets you access MSN/AIM/Yahoo via IRC |
| 18:06.57 | fysa | the key is ZNC. |
| 18:07.09 | Daniellion | damn thing won't let me fracking log in |
| 18:07.10 | Daniellion | grr |
| 18:07.19 | kaltsi | b0unc3 sorry I assumed that the package would contain the sources but it doesn't.. my bad |
| 18:07.46 | fysa | ZNC to bitlbee and all of your IRC servers. Then you can run multiple clients simultaneously that share the same exact username/session on everything. If someone IM's me, it shows up on my N800, HTPC/XBMC, laptop, desktop and kitchen. |
| 18:07.54 | GeneralAntilles | Who is going to think up a cool use for the double-click option in mce.ini? |
| 18:08.07 | timeless | sui: anyway, i should be at the port statioon in 15min |

| 18:11.43 | TPC | but whats wrong with using it in screen+irssi? |
| 18:11.43 | fysa | So if I'm sitting at my desk and need to walk somewhere, I have to break the conversation and start it with a different account. |
| 18:11.53 | fysa | nothing :) |
| 18:12.01 | fysa | I was using screen+weechat for a while. |
| 18:12.08 | alterego | There should really be MSN and yahoo! support in the Chat app. |
| 18:12.12 | fysa | but then noticed that X-Chat lets you put the tabs as a list ont he side.. |
| 18:12.24 | GeneralAntilles | and AIM! |

| 18:16.58 | TPC | there are problably good perl modules for easy interacting with jabber |

| 18:17.37 | Atarii | ok, i just knew that yahoo pipes can do that, as ive been workin with it recently, well the rss bit anyways |
| 18:17.43 | TPC | indeed, I have made several IRC bots in my days, and even an IRC client once |
| 18:17.53 | fysa | I don't know what the popular bots now are, but you could run an eggdrop(?) with RSS/google/IMDB/weather plugins and stick it on Jabber via bitl. |
| 18:18.20 | TPC | whats the fun with that? much more fun making your own :P |

| 18:19.08 | fysa | the fun is writing plugins that do interesting things with information, not writing bot basics ;) |
| 18:19.35 | TPC | fysa, but the bot basics doesn't take many minutes to make |

| 18:53.28 | qos | b0unc3, it seems to be high enough |
| 18:54.29 | lardman | line 3 sounds like the .in file doesn't exist |
| 18:55.43 | lardman | though the "found" on the next line might mean it was found elsewhere |
| 18:55.47 | qos | lardman, so? i can't handle this error |
| 18:56.17 | lardman | what are you compiling? |
| 18:56.41 | qos | kryptpad |
| 18:56.54 | lardman | and does this ./intltool-update.in exist? |
| 18:57.29 | lardman | the error message may be caused by something other than the version of intltool, i.e. the fact the .in file isn't there for some reason |
| 18:57.45 | qos | no, i don't think so. but it wasn't in the source package |

| 19:05.16 | lardman | qos: I'd try to install it from source if possible - using the debian tools |
| 19:05.37 | lardman | presumably it complained that you didn't have it when you started the build and you used -d to ignore it? |

| 19:25.11 | KevinVerma | thanks |
| 19:25.14 | niteOwl2 | KevinVerma: Shouldn't be hard - I think it was recent - perhaps the last week or so. |

| 19:25.26 | niteOwl2 | KevinVerma: No problem |
| 19:25.32 | TPC | qemu can run vmware images |

| 19:26.24 | lardman | wumpus: insmod: error inserting 'pvr.ko': -1 Invalid module format |
| 19:28.00 | wumpus | invalid format.. hmm, that's even worse than missing symbols, means the architecture is wrong |
| 19:28.16 | lardman | drat! |
| 19:28.30 | lardman | as in arm vs armel? |
| 19:28.55 | KevinVerma | TPC, internet is mazing, all you need is search - this might do - http://www.virtualizationdaily.com/archives/73_how-to-convert-a-vmware-virtual-appliance-to-work-with-parallels.html |
| 19:29.01 | KevinVerma | amazing :) |
| 19:29.25 | wumpus | I think so |
| 19:30.17 | lardman | ah, I stripped it, dmesg says "pvr: module has no symbols (stripped?)" |

| 19:48.07 | ywwg | what does maemo use for its GTK web browsing widget? gtkmozembed? gtkhtml? webkit? |
| 19:48.09 | wumpus | which makes sense as the device has no pci |
| 19:48.40 | lardman | wrap it and provide fake symbols? |
| 19:48.54 | wumpus | but what to provide instead? |
| 19:49.00 | alterego | ywwg, the web browser or help system? |
| 19:49.04 | lardman | not that I have any idea how to wrap a driver |
| 19:49.05 | wumpus | looks like it will assume the device is on the pci bus |
| 19:49.21 | ywwg | alterego: I need to embed html in my application, so... I guess the web browser? |
| 19:49.33 | alterego | The web browser uses Gecko. |
| 19:49.48 | alterego | If you want to embed HTML in your app you should use GtkMozEmbed or gtkhtml |
| 19:49.50 | lardman | wumpus: you think, it's not just that the kernel it was compiled for happens to have those symbols exported? |
| 19:50.00 | alterego | MozEmbed isn't installed by default though. |

| 19:51.41 | wumpus | lardman: there is a faint chance that it also looks somewhere else, but if it needs pci bindings it uses them |
| 19:52.36 | alterego | ywwg, gtk html |
| 19:52.47 | alterego | As long as your needs aren't too great. |
| 19:52.55 | ywwg | alterego: hm, I was afraid of that :/ |
| 19:53.05 | alterego | Why were you affraid of it? |
| 19:53.21 | ywwg | alterego: I do support gtkhtml but it's nowhere near as nice as the moz version. gtkhtml has a lot of issues |
| 19:53.25 | alterego | Is there something wrong with libgtkhtml? |
| 19:53.42 | alterego | Well use MozEmbed then! |
| 19:54.03 | alterego | Which .. _is_ actually included in 2008 .. |
| 19:54.11 | alterego | (my mistake) |
| 19:54.14 | ywwg | alterego: oh |
| 19:54.15 | wumpus | lardman: the easiest way to wrap the driver would be to make a module that provides those symbols itself |
| 19:54.30 | lardman | wumpus: indeed |
| 19:54.33 | ywwg | alterego: do I need a special package for it? or is it on by default? |
| 19:54.42 | alterego | It's on by default. |
| 19:54.53 | ywwg | alterego: oh that's perfect then |
| 19:55.57 | lardman | only a few pci related names: http://pastebin.ca/773790 |
| 19:56.13 | ywwg | alterego: where did you find out it's installed by default? I'm still learning the SDK and the site and all |
| 19:56.25 | alterego | ywwg, you'll have to work out how to get the dev libraries though. |
| 19:56.33 | ywwg | ah |
| 19:56.34 | alterego | ywwg, I saw it in /usr/lib |
| 19:57.03 | ywwg | alterego: I don't see it in mine. I do have gtkhtml, but no gtkmozembed |
| 19:57.13 | alterego | The browser isn't installed ;) |
| 19:57.36 | alterego | Which is by default in OS2008 |

| 20:26.21 | suihkulokki | czr: madeira? =) |
| 20:26.22 | GeneralAntilles | I've had one crash over the past 20 hours or so, p|. |
| 20:26.24 | cbx33 | is it the RC release? |
| 20:27.05 | GeneralAntilles | It's a leaked release |
| 20:27.16 | GeneralAntilles | I can't imagine that they didn't see this coming. |
| 20:27.31 | alterego | Can't say I've seen a problem. |
| 20:27.36 | alterego | The vkb is annoying though. |
| 20:27.40 | czr | suihkulokki, joo. port-viinin variantti mita valmistetaan madeiran saarella. hitto et meni hukkaan toiki vitsi :-) |
| 20:27.42 | cbx33 | oh? |
| 20:27.44 | alterego | When using forms but that's always been true. |
| 20:27.48 | cbx33 | how is it annoying? |
| 20:27.53 | cbx33 | is it better than the last one? |
| 20:27.58 | lardman|afk | wumpus: that dev board has a pci-emulator on it |
| 20:28.01 | czr | suihkulokki, oh, sry, just switched from an -fi channel back here. /me is slightly tired. |
| 20:28.16 | cbx33 | do we have an anticipated os2008 release date? |
| 20:28.23 | czr | cbx33, soon? |
| 20:28.32 | cbx33 | hah |
| 20:28.38 | GeneralAntilles | December seems to be what they're saying. |
| 20:28.50 | penguinbait | I am running it today, soon enough? |
| 20:29.25 | GeneralAntilles | The select background dialog seems a little flaky. |
| 20:29.28 | suihkulokki | :P |
| 20:29.30 | penguinbait | check out cellwriter running on KDE on n800 2008OS |
| 20:29.40 | GeneralAntilles | It'll freeze everything up about every 3rd time I use it. |
| 20:29.42 | penguinbait | http://www.internettablettalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=11726&goto=newpost |
| 20:30.12 | czr | suihkulokki, I will now have to prepare another badly fitting joke. |
| 20:30.49 | teprrr | czr, yup, qtopia was quite nice on it. could send photos via bt from my phone to it and crop the images and so |
| 20:30.53 | teprrr | and even calling worked ;) |
| 20:31.07 | cbx33 | KDE runs on the N800????????????????? |
| 20:31.09 | czr | teprrr, not bad. didn't know that it worked that well. |
| 20:31.11 | cbx33 | where the hell have I been |
| 20:31.12 | teprrr | need to test those more when I get a copy of that phone later on |
| 20:31.22 | czr | cbx33, or what have you smoked :-) |
| 20:31.31 | lardman|afk | as a matter of general interest, are there any available arm disassemblers? |
| 20:31.32 | czr | kde != qtopia. n800 != what we were talking about :-) |
| 20:31.34 | alterego | I personally think Maemo looks a _lot_ nicer than KDE. |
| 20:31.53 | suihkulokki | czr: huonosti sopivia vitsejä täältä: http://www.hs.fi/fingerpori/ |
| 20:31.54 | czr | lardman|afk, what's wrong with objdump -d? |
| 20:31.59 | K`zan | What was the model of that apple BT keyboard that worked so well? |
| 20:32.05 | cbx33 | czr I know that |
| 20:32.16 | lardman|afk | czr: sounds ok, I'm too used to the dsp tools |
| 20:32.20 | czr | suihkulokki, heh. not you too. I have to suffer through those at the office as it is. we have a nice girl that tortures me with them occasionally. |
| 20:32.42 | GeneralAntilles | K`zan, there are only two and they both work fine. ;) |
| 20:33.15 | K`zan | GeneralAntilles: Thankee Sir! Notice that batteries are inexpensive enough for this too. Cool :). |
| 20:33.41 | GeneralAntilles | I'd recommend the iGo/ThinkOutside for the portability if you only have cash for one keyboard. |
| 20:34.04 | czr | suihkulokki, these are so much better: http://xkcd.com/340/ |
| 20:35.03 | teprrr | alterego, I'd prefer qt over gtk. coding qt is so much nicer :P |
| 20:35.06 | K`zan | I see the BT keyboard comes with a one button mouse, does that work with the n800? |
| 20:35.07 | suihkulokki | hah |
| 20:35.20 | GeneralAntilles | Not really, no. |
| 20:35.28 | alterego | teprrr, I disagree but whatever |
| 20:35.37 | cbx33 | alterego, ++ |
| 20:35.38 | K`zan | Ah, OK, not really a problem, but it could be nice :) |
| 20:35.41 | Tak | meh @ qt |
| 20:35.47 | teprrr | alterego, yup, personal preference, just like comparing qt's outlook to gtk one |
| 20:35.52 | K`zan | Thanks for all the help / info here - MUCH appreciated! |

| 20:36.11 | lardman|afk | wumpus: not sure if they ought to appear, but there are no calls to the pci functions (HostPCIReadDword & HostPCIWriteDword). The other pci bits and bobs are called within these functions |

| 20:40.03 | TPC | penguinbait, how does kde run on 2008 compared to 2007? |
| 20:40.26 | wumpus | lardman: curious |
| 20:40.33 | penguinbait | better |
| 20:40.34 | penguinbait | :) |
| 20:40.44 | wumpus | lardman: does it have any other symbols that signify hardware detection some other way? |
| 20:40.49 | qos | really? why? |
| 20:41.18 | wumpus | I wonder *how* it accesses the device, how it finds it |
| 20:42.00 | lardman | I'm just reading the asm for the init function |
| 20:42.03 | K`zan | Is there a preferred distro to run the SDK(s) under? |
| 20:42.05 | wumpus | ok |
| 20:42.09 | cbx33 | penguinbait, does it run well? |
| 20:42.17 | cbx33 | like as fast as the native environment? |
| 20:43.10 | lardman | wumpus: God knows, too late in the evening to be reading assembly |
| 20:43.23 | penguinbait | no, I dont think so, it uses much more memory |
| 20:43.30 | cbx33 | penguinbait, ahh |
| 20:43.34 | penguinbait | but it is completely useable |
| 20:43.54 | cbx33 | so do people who've gotten the os2008 have an n810 with which to nab the serial number then? |
| 20:43.59 | cbx33 | penguinbait, cool |
| 20:44.06 | cbx33 | are the rumours about the processor overclock true? |
| 20:44.18 | TPC | kde4 will be interesting |
| 20:44.23 | wumpus | lardman: idd |
| 20:44.33 | TPC | as its supposed to have a lower memory footprint than kde3 |
| 20:44.43 | cbx33 | really? |
| 20:45.00 | penguinbait | what rumors |
| 20:45.16 | penguinbait | I can not get QT 4.3 to compile |
| 20:45.19 | penguinbait | yet !! |
| 20:45.20 | Daniellion | too bad there isn't nice installer for it. or a flash |
| 20:45.33 | TPC | cbx33, its not technically being overclocked |
| 20:45.33 | cbx33 | that the os2008 overclocks the proc faster than before? |
| 20:45.33 | Daniellion | heah how does nokia make a flash binary.. is that something we can do too? |
| 20:45.35 | penguinbait | Some day, perhaps a few months |
| 20:45.36 | cbx33 | ok |
| 20:45.40 | cbx33 | but you know what I mean |
| 20:45.41 | TPC | cbx33, OS2007 was underclocking it |
| 20:45.48 | TPC | to save battery |
| 20:45.49 | penguinbait | yes its runnning faster CPU clock speed |
| 20:45.57 | GeneralAntilles | Well, sometimes. |
| 20:45.58 | TPC | OS2008 is bringing it up to its real speed, since they are saving battery some other ways instead |
| 20:45.58 | _Monkey | somebody said sometimes was frustating |
| 20:46.06 | GeneralAntilles | Mostly, we have CPU throttling now. |
| 20:46.28 | cbx33 | is it.....oh man.......I'm in two minds whether to try finding os2008 |
| 20:46.49 | penguinbait | hardware limits: 165 MHz - 400 MHz |
| 20:46.49 | penguinbait | <PROTECTED> |
| 20:47.04 | TPC | cbx33, its not binary compatible |
| 20:47.12 | TPC | cbx33, most software hasn't been compiled for OS2008 yet |
| 20:47.17 | cbx33 | ahh ok |
| 20:47.24 | TPC | cbx33, so if you try it don't expect any third party apps to work yet |
| 20:47.40 | TPC | give it a few weeks and most software should have been moved over |
| 20:47.55 | cbx33 | it'll be a nice christmas present then |
| 20:48.12 | penguinbait | many things will work out the box, and they are still binary compatible |
| 20:48.19 | penguinbait | just changed some libs |
| 20:48.23 | cbx33 | ahhh |
| 20:48.50 | K`zan | Thinking of setting up the sdk(s?) under {some distro} under vmware... |
| 20:49.04 | cbx33 | scratchbox? |

| 21:00.01 | l7 | i understand that the iblue has a useful autooff feature |
| 21:00.06 | penguinbait | It was the first confirmed working on 770, that why I bought it |

| 21:01.01 | pc_speaker | And what about the maps? Western Europe available? |
| 21:01.57 | penguinbait | Nope, the i-blue has never given me a problem. The only thing I would say is if you want to use it in windows/laptop also you may want another device, I am not sure if that works? |
| 21:02.00 | p| | is it 'normal' that control panel info say 2 <unknown> lines ? |

| 21:14.09 | lardman|tv | ah cool, down arrow, silly me |
| 21:14.26 | cbx33 | fysa indeed |
| 21:14.28 | fysa | shadow mode is for sharing existing connections with multiple clients |
| 21:14.35 | pc_speaker | My wife returned to me after I started to use NX... |
| 21:14.40 | fysa | desktopless lets you run remote apps as if they were native |
| 21:14.49 | pc_speaker | It healed my dog... |
| 21:14.51 | pc_speaker | :) |
| 21:14.53 | fysa | the mix of the two would mean that I could disconnect from my work session on my desktop |
| 21:15.01 | cbx33 | fysa do they have desktopless yet? |
| 21:15.03 | fysa | and connect to it from anywhere else |
| 21:15.08 | cbx33 | ahhhh awesome |
| 21:15.13 | fysa | simultaneously.. |
| 21:15.29 | fysa | so all of my work apps would run on the server, then OS X/windows/N800 KDE could bring them all up. |
| 21:15.39 | cbx33 | coool |

| 21:16.52 | cbx33 | but NX is sooo much better |
| 21:16.52 | TPC | vnc may be slower* |
| 21:17.05 | cbx33 | TPC, so you're 100% OS? |
| 21:17.06 | fysa | cbx33, http://www.danka.de/printpro/NX-konqi-in-WinXP-2.png -- Konqueror in that screenshot is running on a remote machine |
| 21:17.12 | cbx33 | cool |
| 21:17.18 | TPC | cbx33, yes |
| 21:17.27 | fysa | basically, you could run a KDE launchbar that way.. |
| 21:17.31 | cbx33 | yes |
| 21:17.32 | fysa | and then each app would open in its own window on the desktop. |
| 21:17.40 | cbx33 | yeh |
| 21:17.43 | fysa | you suspend the session, reboot, reconnect and they all come back in the same place |
| 21:17.44 | cbx33 | that's in floating mode |
| 21:18.01 | fysa | right, floating mode. we need floating mode mixed with shadow/shared simultaneous sessions. |
| 21:18.01 | TPC | there is another way to do that |
| 21:18.13 | fysa | you can do it with just X11 itself, TPC. |
| 21:18.14 | TPC | its called X11 forwarding over ssh |
| 21:18.16 | cbx33 | yeh |
| 21:18.18 | cbx33 | true |
| 21:18.19 | fysa | that's what NX does. |
| 21:18.19 | TPC | or just XDMCP |
| 21:18.25 | fysa | NX uses XDMCP/X11 forwarding. |
| 21:18.30 | fysa | but it's extremely intelligent awesome compression. |
| 21:18.33 | TPC | why would you need NX then? X can do it by itself |
| 21:18.38 | fysa | sdflksdflkfsd |
| 21:18.39 | fysa | god. |
| 21:18.39 | TPC | just pipe it trought zlib or soemthing |
| 21:18.49 | fysa | your mind is rust. |
| 21:19.03 | fysa | "The NX compression technology is really amazing. Can you imagine to have a KDE full desktop session through a GSM datalink connection with 9600 baud? Can you imagine that a remote KDE startup (fully visible to you) may transfer as little as 35 kByte through the wire, if run over an NX connection? (A normal X connection may use as much as 3.5 MByte of data...)." |
| 21:19.12 | pc_speaker | NX is better then viagra! |
| 21:19.23 | TPC | that may be |
| 21:19.23 | pc_speaker | Buy NX cheap! :) |
| 21:19.29 | TPC | but I have 24mbps broadband |
| 21:19.32 | fysa | there are open source servers. |
| 21:19.32 | TPC | not 9600 baud |
| 21:19.33 | TPC | :P |
| 21:19.33 | fysa | .. |
| 21:19.50 | cbx33 | I'm speechless |
| 21:20.03 | pc_speaker | Miracle... |
| 21:20.06 | fysa | the point is connecting to it via GSM/WiFi on your N800 while traveling. |
| 21:20.09 | guerby | fysa, did you use NX on N800 ? |
| 21:20.16 | pc_speaker | I want to believe... |
| 21:20.20 | Atarii | wow i want NX on my 770 |
| 21:20.39 | fysa | not yet. I've been using it on a laptop from hotels and such for business |
| 21:20.47 | fysa | leave my coding session open on my work machine at the office.. |
| 21:20.48 | TPC | fysa, and why would you use a slow expensive wap connection, when there are cheap inexpensive flat-rate 3G connections? |
| 21:21.00 | TPC | fast inexpensive* |
| 21:21.03 | fysa | because even 3G is too slow for VNC. |
| 21:21.08 | fysa | VNC is too slow for LAN dude. |
| 21:21.13 | TPC | nah |
| 21:21.13 | alterego | Interesting .. |
| 21:21.16 | fysa | .. |
| 21:21.20 | fysa | ok, sorry. |
| 21:21.22 | alterego | gtk moz embed is on the device but not in the SDK. |
| 21:21.26 | cbx33 | 3G is way too expensive |
| 21:21.27 | Daniellion | I found that the Version 2 LG chocolate rocks with the nokia tablets |
| 21:21.28 | fysa | I had to ignore you, TPC. |
| 21:21.37 | TPC | ignore me? |
| 21:21.37 | wumpus | I always use vnc to work from home etc.. it's very fast here |
| 21:21.54 | pc_speaker | NX works fast even over pigeon mail... |
| 21:21.56 | guerby | fysa, I use openvpn+vnc and it works over wan, a tad slow but still usable |
| 21:22.03 | cbx33 | try NX and you'll be amazed |
| 21:22.04 | fysa | usable, but nothing like native speed. |
| 21:22.05 | TPC | I use vnc to help my parents with their computers from time to time over the internet, its not slow |
| 21:22.07 | penguinbait | works for what I need it for also, althoug I am not trying to run it over DUN |
| 21:22.10 | fysa | NX vs VNC is night-and-day. |
| 21:22.21 | guerby | fysa, last time I looked at NX there was not a line of clear instruction on how to install it (even on a desktop) |
| 21:22.24 | wumpus | then again, my connection is quite fast, so I don't really need compression etc |
| 21:22.30 | fysa | yeah, 3.0 is much better. |

| 21:25.22 | alterego | The open ssh package is always broken :/ |
| 21:25.50 | alterego | I seem to have to uninstall it everytime I want to update it :/ |
| 21:26.12 | fysa | the difference is between knowing that you're connecting to a remote app versus feeling like it's completely native. |
| 21:26.45 | alterego | Best the former. |
| 21:27.19 | pc_speaker | So Firefox can ate all memory on some other's computer? Great :) |
| 21:27.22 | fysa | that's my next 'computing' goal. to switch entirely to NX-compatible apps so I can work from anywhere/anytime without losing my session. |
| 21:27.28 | fysa | exactly. |
| 21:27.31 | TPC | fysa, by the way, you do know that ssh can do compression all by itself do you? just pass -C to it |
| 21:27.47 | TPC | normal X11 forwarding is useless over the internet without -C because its slow |
| 21:27.50 | alterego | Yeah, ssh compresses. |
| 21:27.50 | cbx33 | fysa, my only problem was that wine apps don't seem to like working over it |
| 21:27.52 | fysa | TPC, I know you're trying to come up with great alternatives to NX, but there really is none. |
| 21:27.55 | TPC | but with -C its quite acceptable |
| 21:28.02 | fysa | there is a GPL fork. |
| 21:28.03 | fysa | try that. |
| 21:28.09 | fysa | it's a bitch to install, but it works. |
| 21:28.13 | cbx33 | freenx? |
| 21:28.14 | fysa | "FreeNX" |
| 21:28.22 | pc_speaker | As a beer? |
| 21:28.24 | cbx33 | you're right there |
| 21:28.26 | TPC | I have no need for an app like that, I'm just trying to figure out whats so great about it |
| 21:28.31 | cbx33 | it's terrible to intal |
| 21:28.36 | TPC | since from your description I haven't heard anything that X and ssh doesn't already do |
| 21:28.40 | fysa | .. |
| 21:28.46 | fysa | it's a million times faster than X + ssh -C |
| 21:28.48 | fysa | seriously. |
| 21:28.50 | fysa | it's not even close. |
| 21:28.59 | cbx33 | TPC, can you not just accept that it may actually be faster |
| 21:29.01 | fysa | I have a 4 megabyte/sec server |
| 21:29.06 | pc_speaker | And how do they do this? |
| 21:29.07 | fysa | and gigabit LAN |
| 21:29.11 | TPC | cbx33, sure, I can accept that |
| 21:29.13 | guerby | fysa, downloaded the 3 packages but I cannot find a coherent explanations of what to do with them, in particular what's that client/node/server terminology about? |
| 21:29.15 | cbx33 | cool |
| 21:29.16 | cbx33 | ;) |
| 21:29.20 | fysa | just install them, guerby |
| 21:29.24 | fysa | they rely on eachother |
| 21:29.31 | cbx33 | you have to do them in order |
| 21:29.36 | fysa | there is an Ubuntu NX howto out there if you need it. |
| 21:29.36 | cbx33 | else they'll complain |
| 21:29.37 | guerby | fysa, ok why they did three packages then? |
| 21:29.52 | fysa | scalability -- you can have machines that multiplex NX connections and do all sorts of crazy things |
| 21:30.12 | fysa | but yeah, I see what you mean. |
| 21:30.13 | wumpus | do you work for them or so :P |
| 21:30.18 | fysa | TPC, you ever use Windows Remote Desktop? |
| 21:30.21 | fysa | RDC? |
| 21:30.28 | fysa | you know how much faster RDC is than VNC? |
| 21:30.30 | guerby | fysa, I won't install anything until I find an explanation on what nx installs and setups listening etc :) |
| 21:30.35 | Juhaz | "sudo yum install nx freenx" isn't all that hard as far as installations go... |
| 21:30.43 | fysa | NX is that much faster than RDC. |
| 21:30.47 | wumpus | I've used both, and didn't find rdc anything faster than vnc |
| 21:30.53 | pc_speaker | :))) |
| 21:30.57 | fysa | OK, I give up. |
| 21:30.57 | wumpus | over a local network at least |
| 21:31.07 | cbx33 | fysa, i think it's for the best |
| 21:31.09 | fysa | http://www.nomachine.com/download-package.php?Prod_Id=6 |
| 21:31.10 | cbx33 | :p |
| 21:31.10 | fysa | read that. |
| 21:31.13 | fysa | install if you like. |
| 21:31.16 | fysa | I have to get back to work.. |
| 21:31.31 | pc_speaker | RDC on Windows uses native controls and don't transfer images over net :))) |
| 21:31.42 | TPC | fysa, you mean rdesktop? |
| 21:31.52 | TPC | I haven't used it myself, but I've seen it being used |
| 21:32.46 | TPC | the thing is that with vnc over the internet I get speeds that are as fast as if it was native if I'm not doing anything heavy on the graphical side (like loading a page in a web browser with lots of pictures or trying to watch a video, which I wouldn't do remotely anyway) |
| 21:32.51 | TPC | but you make it sound like its the slowest thing ever |
| 21:33.05 | fysa | NX is native fast *with* heavy graphics. |
| 21:33.13 | cbx33 | TPC just think you can do those graphically intensive things on NX |
| 21:33.26 | fysa | but seriously, I'm not here to sell this. |
| 21:33.42 | pc_speaker | VNX with mirroring driver is fast as hell on Windows. |
| 21:33.47 | cbx33 | fysa, tried it over openvpn? |
| 21:33.54 | TPC | anyway, this is going nowhere |
| 21:33.57 | TPC | we have different opinions |
| 21:34.02 | wumpus | well I'm sure even NX is slow over some connections :P |
| 21:34.04 | TPC | lets just accept that and talk about something else :P |
| 21:34.21 | wumpus | yeah |
| 21:34.24 | pc_speaker | </holywar> |

| 22:06.52 | pc_speaker | Will it tun KDE4? :) |
| 22:06.55 | pc_speaker | run |
| 22:06.57 | GeneralAntilles | 1000k unique . . . that doesn't work |
| 22:06.58 | GeneralAntilles | *1k |
| 22:07.08 | penguinbait | To my point this was first put out in Feruary, and there have been thousands of people install it, whether they kept it running, who know |
| 22:07.18 | GeneralAntilles | We KNOW you don't have 1,000,000. :P |
| 22:07.21 | alterego | Well .. Looks like ruby-maemo should work fine. |
| 22:07.36 | penguinbait | I have not been able to compile QT 4.3 successfully |
| 22:07.39 | penguinbait | yet! |
| 22:08.12 | alterego | Do you know anyone other than you that actually uses it? |
| 22:08.20 | penguinbait | yes |
| 22:08.36 | alterego | How many? |
| 22:08.45 | pc_speaker | All braves who tried had failed... |
| 22:09.11 | pc_speaker | So rest in peace mighty warriors... |
| 22:09.12 | pc_speaker | :))) |
| 22:09.24 | penguinbait | I would say I have at least 10 people who beta test everything |
| 22:09.54 | penguinbait | I am unsure why you are so negative against KDE on tablet, if you dont want to use it fine |
| 22:10.00 | penguinbait | but it seems to upset you? |
| 22:10.01 | lardman | night chaps, see you on the morrow |
| 22:10.02 | alterego | Cool, we can make custom systemui items that call dbus services :) |
| 22:10.06 | pc_speaker | We're kkidding. |
| 22:10.28 | pc_speaker | I just think that n800 is to slow for KDE experience... |
| 22:10.38 | penguinbait | I think Alterego is mad about something ? |
| 22:10.42 | alterego | I don't think KDE should be used anywhere ^_^ |
| 22:10.55 | pc_speaker | And the screen in not optimized too... |
| 22:10.58 | penguinbait | Look it runs way better on my IBM tablet pc, no question |
| 22:11.22 | penguinbait | AH KDE h8er, I tried gnome first, it wa just a pain |
| 22:11.33 | alterego | Do you do anything other than KDE on the tablets? |
| 22:11.34 | penguinbait | to compile |
| 22:11.44 | pc_speaker | holywar mode on |
| 22:11.54 | suihkulokki | penguinbait: qt4.3.2 works fine on debian/armel (atleast when tried with webkit) |
| 22:11.54 | penguinbait | not sure about your question |
| 22:12.03 | alterego | Development work. |
| 22:12.13 | penguinbait | I am not a developer |
| 22:12.21 | penguinbait | I am a unix admin :) |
| 22:12.33 | alterego | Oh, one of those :P |
| 22:12.33 | penguinbait | any monkey can compile packages though :) |
| 22:12.37 | alterego | Sure |
| 22:13.00 | penguinbait | Alterego, I understand |
| 22:13.13 | alterego | I let some kids play bomber man on my N800 last night at the local pub. They got chocolate in a very hard to clean area of the screen O_O |
| 22:13.23 | GeneralAntilles | dumbass. :P |
| 22:13.30 | penguinbait | Unix admins and developers just dont see eye to eye often |
| 22:13.35 | GeneralAntilles | Just pop the bezel off. |
| 22:13.53 | alterego | penguinbait, UNIX admins don't bother me ;) I do it myself |
| 22:14.00 | TPC | well, most unix developers are unix admins as well |
| 22:14.07 | alterego | GeneralAntilles, how? |
| 22:14.09 | penguinbait | Exactly why developer bother me |
| 22:14.10 | penguinbait | :) |
| 22:14.11 | alterego | Is it easy? |
| 22:14.17 | GeneralAntilles | Yeah |

| 22:18.47 | TPC | qos, set up a scratchbox environment and try to compile |
| 22:18.54 | TPC | if you hit errors try to fix them, then recompile |
| 22:18.58 | TPC | repeat until there are no errors |
| 22:18.59 | penguinbait | hehe |
| 22:19.24 | alterego | Then Hildonise |
| 22:19.28 | penguinbait | this is true, these guys here are probably better able to answer your questions than I, I am lowly unix admin :( |
| 22:19.29 | pc_speaker | Then add some new errors... |
| 22:19.31 | qos | TPC, sounds easy :) but my scratchbox is running. but it starts with that there is no qmake in my scratchbox |
| 22:19.46 | TPC | qos, thats the first error you have to fix then |
| 22:19.49 | penguinbait | install QT |
| 22:19.54 | alterego | Sounds like an easy one too .. |
| 22:20.12 | qos | yes... i also had this idea... |
| 22:20.27 | TPC | qos, find out what package has qmake in it and make a package for that first (well, penguinbait told you this time, so you don't have to find out) |
| 22:20.50 | alterego | Wow! |
| 22:20.53 | alterego | Not Gtk errors! |
| 22:21.03 | pc_speaker | Weird. |
| 22:21.11 | qos | my apt says that it doesn't know qt :( |
| 22:21.32 | pc_speaker | Good for him :) |
| 22:21.40 | alterego | Hmm .. 6 seconds is probably too long for a program start up .. |
| 22:21.48 | alterego | I'll have to work on that some time. |
| 22:22.09 | alterego | sh*t |
| 22:22.40 | alterego | That's not even ruby |
| 22:23.02 | qos | TPC, what do you mean with: make a package for that first? |
| 22:23.43 | TPC | qos, you are trying to make a package for mumble |
| 22:23.57 | TPC | it obviously needs qt, there is no qt package, so before you can make a mumble package you have to make a qt package |
| 22:24.30 | qos | so, i have to fetch the qt sources first, compile them and then start compiling mumble? |
| 22:24.44 | TPC | or wait, is this for OS2008 or OS2007? |
| 22:24.50 | alterego | Maybe penguinbait has Qt packages for you. |
| 22:24.51 | qos | OS2008 |
| 22:24.51 | _Monkey | well, OS2008 is really fast |
| 22:24.52 | TPC | there should be a qt package for 2007 somewhere |
| 22:24.59 | TPC | ah |
| 22:25.08 | TPC | well, penguinbait might have 2008 packages for QT since he compiled kde earlier |
| 22:25.19 | qos | it thing in 4 weeks no one will use OS2007 anymore |
| 22:25.27 | TPC | if you get it from him you don't have to do it yourself |
| 22:25.59 | qos | yeah, so penguinbait. did you compile kde for OS2008? |
| 22:26.21 | qos | so that i can lend me the your qt packages ;) |
| 22:26.49 | penguinbait | I did, but 2007 should be the same, I do not have a QT package isolated though |
| 22:27.13 | alterego | O_o |

| 22:27.58 | alterego | Now you're just trying to annoy me :P |
| 22:28.18 | penguinbait | I think you could, but from my understand qtopia does not use X |

| 22:28.22 | penguinbait | I need X |
| 22:28.29 | alterego | I guess I've got something to write in my blog now :) |
| 22:28.33 | l7 | oh |
| 22:28.34 | penguinbait | hehe |
| 22:28.55 | penguinbait | Look do I release 90+ packages or release one |
| 22:28.56 | l7 | alterego: what is your blog's url? |
| 22:29.13 | GeneralAntilles | Tell us your current mood, too, alterego! |
| 22:29.14 | alterego | l7, that's a good question ;) |
| 22:29.20 | qos | so, penguinbait. where to fetch this mega package? |
| 22:29.22 | penguinbait | I wanted to do this sometime whild the hardware was still valid |
| 22:29.55 | l7 | alterego: so you have a blog without a url? o.O |
| 22:30.05 | alterego | l7, it's http://maemo-dev.blogspot.com |
| 22:30.33 | alterego | As you can see. It's pretty sparse right now. |
| 22:31.07 | alterego | I'm going to do a ruby-maemo road map post. Describing the project in a bit and tomorrow I'll do a 0.3.0 release announcement. |
| 22:31.19 | penguinbait | penguinbait.com/KDE356v3.tar.bz2 |
| 22:31.29 | alterego | Actually .. I'll be releasing 0.4.0 on Friday so I might as well hold that one off. |
| 22:31.40 | TPC | penguinbait, I would say 90+ packages |
| 22:31.56 | TPC | penguinbait, because then everyone else can use the libraries and compile their things without having to redo all the work you do |
| 22:31.59 | l7 | alterego: heh, yeah :) |
| 22:32.06 | TPC | and if you want to upgrade a single component you can |
| 22:32.07 | penguinbait | Well I wanted KDE for me, its ease of use for evewryone else, bah |
| 22:32.17 | l7 | nice theme i guess : |
| 22:32.27 | penguinbait | I still can, I have all the source, I can repackage |
| 22:32.45 | alterego | It wouldn't take much effort to package the components. Deb packages are easy once you get to know them. |
| 22:33.30 | penguinbait | I can compile and build all of KDE in one day, If I packaged it would take me much longer |
| 22:33.55 | penguinbait | I have asked the community of anyone wants to help, and nobody does, so I do what I can |
| 22:34.34 | penguinbait | Besides if I packaged it, more people would use it, is that really what you want Alterego? |
| 22:34.35 | penguinbait | really? |
| 22:34.44 | p| | <PROTECTED> |
| 22:34.46 | alterego | penguinbait, I really don't care :P |
| 22:34.52 | penguinbait | heh |
| 22:35.47 | jott | can't you just use the debian source packages for qt/kde? |
| 22:36.14 | penguinbait | whats debian |
| 22:36.16 | penguinbait | ? |
| 22:36.35 | penguinbait | is that like an RPM? |

| 23:05.42 | TPC | used to be the other way around with OS2007, mplayer being able to play things that the built in couldn't |
| 23:06.15 | pc_speaker | mplayer will be tweked soon for os2008 |
| 23:07.46 | TPC | pc_speaker, probably, I just find it interesting that the built in media player has improved so much |
| 23:08.28 | pc_speaker | Maybe |
| 23:08.51 | pc_speaker | But the demo video i highly optimized for the device... |

| 23:13.07 | TPC | ogg vorbis that is |
| 23:13.17 | alterego | I just use the media player for audio .. |
| 23:13.29 | TPC | the media player won't play ogg vorbis either |
| 23:13.47 | pc_speaker | BTW why the hell Kanola doesn't support background play? |
| 23:13.57 | pc_speaker | I want to read book dammit! :) |

| 23:17.51 | alterego | It renders the page all vertical. |
| 23:17.57 | alterego | Sure .. The videos play good. |
| 23:18.02 | GeneralAntilles | ? |
| 23:18.18 | GeneralAntilles | Renders fine for me. |
| 23:18.46 | alterego | Strange .. |
| 23:18.50 | p| | GeneralAntilles: xchat also is listed but it list problems "lack of packages: hildon-libs0, libdbus-1-2, libau0 |
| 23:19.02 | alterego | Maybe my browser install is quirky. |
| 23:19.03 | GeneralAntilles | Yeah, because it hasn't been updated to OS2008 |
| 23:19.57 | GeneralAntilles | Has to be moved to the lastest Gtk |

| 23:21.50 | alterego | GeneralAntilles, you do realise he's talking about OS2008 |
| 23:21.59 | alterego | The bora repo will not work .. |
| 23:22.29 | GeneralAntilles | Works fine over here. ;) |
| 23:22.36 | alterego | O_o |
| 23:22.48 | p| | is it dangerouse ? |
| 23:22.52 | GeneralAntilles | No. |
| 23:22.54 | alterego | How many versions of hildon and glibc do you have installed now? |
| 23:23.10 | db48x | a few extra glibc's won't hurt |
| 23:23.13 | GeneralAntilles | It's the OS2008 Python |
| 23:23.17 | db48x | ;) |
| 23:23.31 | p| | mmm i'll wait for fix :) |
| 23:23.40 | GeneralAntilles | Then you'll be waiting for release. |
| 23:23.48 | GeneralAntilles | I've done this and others have done this with no problems |
| 23:23.52 | GeneralAntilles | so I don't know what to tell you. :\ |
| 23:26.12 | fysa | alterego, http://m.youtube.com/?warned=yes&warned=0 - using this YouTube? |
| 23:26.35 | fysa | what's the worst thing that will happen? new packages will just replace the existing ones. |
| 23:28.53 | alterego | Crap .. I've forgotten my maemo.org login details >:( |
| 23:31.02 | K`zan | Sorry, errands, did anyone ever respond to what would be the desired distro for the SDKs? |
| 23:31.28 | gla55_ | debian? |
| 23:31.44 | gla55_ | thats the impression i'm under anyhow |
| 23:31.57 | fysa | there isn't just a vmware image you can get? |
| 23:32.23 | alterego | fysa, read planet.maemo.org |
| 23:32.24 | K`zan | gla55_: Thanks, will stuff deb4 on vmware for it. |
| 23:32.44 | K`zan | Or whatever the current release for that is. |
| 23:32.51 | fysa | cool. |

| 23:33.20 | cbx33 | fysa - tried the n800 nx port |
| 23:33.26 | cbx33 | it seems badly buggy |

| 23:34.43 | L0cutusM | Well at least pidgin works on irc... |
| 23:36.13 | fysa | wonder how the GBA/SNES emulator runs at 400mhz.. |
| 23:36.43 | *** part/#maemo L0cutusM (n=user@151.82.3.90) |
| 23:36.49 | TPC | fysa, well, it used to run fine on my P1 133mhz |
| 23:37.24 | TPC | but that version was extremly heavily asm hand-optimized towards x86 |
| 23:37.34 | TPC | there is nothing like that for arm |
| 23:38.11 | *** join/#maemo L0cutusM (n=user@151.82.3.90) |
| 23:42.39 | fysa | seems only a few fps in OS2007/. |
| 23:42.52 | fysa | and GBA uses ARM |

| 23:47.42 | pc_speaker | PSP is better for retrogaming... |
| 23:48.04 | pc_speaker | Excluding quests and adventures. |
| 23:48.58 | p| | 'night to all |
| 23:49.14 | fysa | I just want Final Fantasy Tactics. :) |
| 23:49.15 | l7 | pc_speaker: why doesn't the psp do quests? |
| 23:49.31 | pc_speaker | It does |
| 23:49.47 | pc_speaker | But touchscreen is better :) |
| 23:50.58 | l7 | pc_speaker: touchscreen? |
| 23:50.59 | _Monkey | touchscreen is beginning to annoy me |
| 23:55.16 | cbx33 | fysa you like the FF series? |
| 23:55.43 | fysa | I think best part of the N810 would be easier emulator/games ;) |
| 23:56.14 | cbx33 | right I'm off to bed |
| 23:56.16 | cbx33 | nn all |
| 23:56.28 | pc_speaker | Yes, but controls are still not very suitable for gaming... |
| 23:58.41 | gla55_ | would need to hold one in hand to know that |
| 23:59.00 | gla55_ | much more suitable than not having the kb thats for sure though |
