00:29.06DocScrutinizer51swipe is as joyfull as a jogging workout
00:30.12DocScrutinizer51on M5 I'm swtching between two tasks with just 2 clicks, or even a single kbd-shotcut
00:30.33Venemohere it's a swipe and a click
00:31.39DocScrutinizer51hah, yeah, if you don't end on applauncher or another random "homescreen"
00:31.53Venemoapp launcher can also switch tasks
00:32.02DocScrutinizer51haha
00:34.39DocScrutinizer51basically swipe is as "cool" as massive compiz-alike window animations or bombastic dektop-event sounds. Takes you off your feet first 5 time, on 50th time it's just boring and on 500th thime you curse it
00:35.38Venemoit may not be one click only, but it works fast
00:35.42DocScrutinizer51it's the second best thing you can get, just after real proper precise touchscreen and hw kbd
00:35.57Venemowell, it saves screen size
00:36.30Venemos/size/shape
00:36.35Venemomeh
00:36.45DocScrutinizer51which is badly needed for the bloated buttons you need for c-ts
00:36.47VenemoI'm not getting words right at 2 AM
00:36.55Venemoeh.
00:37.07Venemos/*/well, it saves screen space
00:37.26Venemostill, the buttons are smaller than on N900 and I can still touch them
00:37.41VenemoI only miss in the browser and on the vkb
00:39.27VenemoI can't imagine how anyone could use the vkb
00:39.38VenemoI mean, okay, maybe I'll get used to it in a few weeks
00:39.47Venemobut the hw kbd is sooo much better
00:39.54DocScrutinizerso, you got a larger screen than on N900, allegedly buttons of same size, and still you worry about saving screen space for that tiny menu button upper left?
00:39.56DocScrutinizerweird
00:40.10VenemoI'm not worrying about anything at all
00:40.20Venemojust sayin' that the concept works on me
00:41.12DocScrutinizerthe concept damn better "works", otherwise EPIC FAIL on Nokia's side
00:41.30Venemowhat do you mean?
00:41.31DocScrutinizerI just say the "old" M5 concept is way better for me
00:42.06Venemoto be honest, I liked that too
00:42.27Venemoas for you, you already stated that M4's concept is your favourite :)
00:43.33DocScrutinizerit has merits (M4) - e.g. it's really completely kbd useable
00:43.41Venemoyeah
00:44.00DocScrutinizera severe regression on M5
00:44.12VenemoI also think that the N950 is far less clumsy and better looking than the N900
00:44.19DocScrutinizerindeed
00:44.23Venemobut I'll understand if you don't agree
00:44.38DocScrutinizerit's sooo shiny
00:44.50Venemomaybe so
00:44.57Venemobut the LCD looks so damn good
00:45.10DocScrutinizerif only it had a proper touchscreen and a OS that'S not crippled by security framework
00:45.18Venemoyeah...
00:45.25Venemomaybe when MeeGo CE will grow up
00:45.42DocScrutinizerwon't help, the c-ts is unbearable
00:45.47Venemowell
00:45.52VenemoI can tolerate it
00:46.09VenemoI've only missed in the browser so far, and the VKB on occasion
00:46.14DocScrutinizersure, that's very personal preferences
00:46.21Venemoyeah
00:46.36VenemoI have very personal preferences
00:47.01DocScrutinizerdoesn't everybody? :-)
00:47.02Venemo:)
00:47.18Venemoyou know, I'm fascinated by the GPU too. comparing the smoothness of the animations with the N900
00:47.49Venemomaybe the software is just this better, maybe it's the 2× clock of the GPU
00:47.53Venemobut it actually feels smooth
00:48.08DocScrutinizerhmm, for video playback it seems to me there's not really any difference, according to my DrHouse tests of yesterday
00:48.25DocScrutinizerand sure it's way faster
00:49.15DocScrutinizerbut the N900 usually is just fast enough for me, and as stated above (though implicitly) I'm not the fan of eyecandy
00:49.49DocScrutinizerthe damn thing has to work, with minimal effort and minimal distraction
00:50.33DocScrutinizerI prefer a console to a boot splashscreen any day, know what I mean?
00:51.47DocScrutinizersometimes I even frown on the tux on boot console ;-)
00:53.19DocScrutinizerand on my desktop PC the windows just vanish in one video frame timespan when clicking the close button - no fancy animations or any nonsense
00:54.23DocScrutinizerI actually couldn't care less about smooth scrolling
00:56.03DocScrutinizerwhat I care though are the smears all across the screen due to swipe :-P
00:57.18Venemomhm
00:57.19DocScrutinizerbtw there's a secret trick to avoid this: click right and then left border of screen in fast sequence, MTF will detect this as a swipe ;-D
00:57.40DocScrutinizeryou'll need two fingers for that
00:57.55Venemohehe
00:59.04VenemoI also dislike the smudges on the screen
00:59.15Venemobut it seems that some time in my pocked does clean it
00:59.37Venemoalso the screen seems quite durable, although I had not had the courage to do any serious testing about it
01:01.16Venemobut, fortunately you don't have to fully swipe a window
01:01.21VenemoI just kinda toss it away
01:01.52Venemoswiping from edge to the 1/5th of the screen from either direction seems to get the job done
01:02.20Venemoand I haven't been missing the widgets either.
01:02.37Venemoevery control is not further than 3 or 4 swipes and/or click away
01:04.40Venemoif all the stuff worked okay in landscape and there were an IRC client, then I think Harmattan would very much appeal to me
01:05.30Venemothe device itself (not the OS though) completely bought me
01:08.14Venemonow goodbye DocScrutinizer, I'll go sleep :)
01:08.16Venemoenjoy the evening :)

08:07.25achipasure
08:07.38Venemodo you prefer a .deb or the source?
08:08.41achipadeb, I guess
08:08.59Venemookay, I'll upload a .deb
08:10.37Venemoachipa, you can find it at http://sources.venemo.net/harmattan/
08:10.57achipaThere is some critical error that just happened. Trust me - you shouldn't see this message.
08:11.05Venemoachipa, I uploaded the .deb (created by Qt Creator) for you, hope it works. if not, you can just download the zip and open in QtC

08:24.46djszapiDocScrutinizer: I got an answer from my colleague, you cannot turn it off without R&D certificate.
08:25.13djszapimy colleagues do not find any good documentations either, thus we boosted it to the SDK team.
08:25.31Venemogood morning djszapi
08:25.38djszapihello =)
08:26.09VenemoI guess DocScrutinizer's next question would be, how to obtain such an "R&D certificate"
08:30.26dm8tbrVenemo: by working for nokia or being subcontracted to nokia and being on a harmattan project, I guess.
08:30.49Mekthose as not enough
08:31.02alteregoAnyone else have a problem with signal on the N950?
08:31.23Stskeepsalterego: something is a bit odd at least, performance worse than my n900, or more accurate..
08:31.38alteregoIt's just worse for me.
08:32.01Stskeepstry to force 2.5g maybe
08:32.04alteregoThe signal seems to change quicker and if I hold it normally it drops, where as the N900 used to pick up 3G fine where I am.
08:32.21alteregoI find if I only hold it by the two plastic ends it works fine and reports full signal :/
08:32.36alteregoI remember tyhe N900 being like this when I first got it though, so I hope it may be firmware fixable.
08:32.58Stskeepsyeah.. let's just assume it's not final firmware
08:33.02Stskeepsnor in modem
08:33.05alterego:)
08:33.20alteregoI'm hoping at least those details are the same in the N9 and we get some fixes, wrt..
08:33.50Venemowell, N950 shows significantly less signal strength sometimes, but I never noticed any difference in call quality
08:34.37alteregoWell, I lose all signal when I'm inside and I'm holding the device.
08:34.41Venemoin fact, the N950 has a lot better call quality imo
08:34.53djszapiVenemo: You cannot
08:34.56alteregoSo call quality can't be compared because I can't make a call :P
08:34.59djszapiAegis cannot be turned off as I have been told.
08:35.12djszapibut we boosted the documentation issue to the SDK team. That is what I could help with.
08:35.13Stskeepsalterego: you're holding it wrong!
08:35.14Stskeeps:P
08:35.20Venemoalterego, srsly?
08:35.22Venemoalterego, heh
08:36.43alteregoStskeeps: indeed. I was just wondering if it was just me or others' had noticed the issue. Because if it was just me I'd work on insulating the antenna or trying to see what's shoring.
08:36.47alterego~shorting
08:37.20Venemoalterego, yours seem to be weaker than average
08:37.28fralsalterego: mine is fubar as well
08:37.32Mekmine doesn't work at all as a phone anymore... one part of the flashing fails (cmt-mcusw) and it doesn't recognize any simcard I put in it...
08:37.38alteregoVenemo: that may just be location,
08:38.11alteregoVenemo: I appreciate I'm in a low signal area so it's hyper sensitive, that and being indoors. It's just annoying because I could normally use the N900 in these circumstances fine.
08:38.21Venemomhm
08:38.43Venemoone thing I also noticed is that the N950 is deliberately powering down its antenna as it battery gets lower
08:39.40Venemoon "battery low", it can barely hold on to the network, while with the charger in or the battery full, it shows max
08:39.45djszapiThe problem is that with the public documentation, some "smart" guys thought that months ago (not from the security team, more like managers) so that aegis should not be documented that much since then the security can be hacked.
08:40.00Venemohow ridiculous is that
08:41.15alteregoNot really, you'd be suprised at how many companies, people etc use security through obscurity ..

08:41.35Venemohmhm
08:42.58djszapialterego: it is really ridiculous in my opinion as well. You do need to document every bits, but at least from the user point of view in order for it to be able to be used.
08:43.07djszapi* do not need
08:45.17*** part/#harmattan djszapi (~lpapp@plexyplanet.org)
08:48.16Venemoalterego, in fact I slapped my main SIM card into the N950 and use it as my "main" device. barely touched the N900 ever since.
08:49.22dm8tbrfacepalms
08:50.01Venemodm8tbr, why, it isn't that bad
08:50.04dm8tbrproper security should easily withstand the fact of being publicly documented. if it doesn't then it wasn't secure in the first place
08:50.10Venemoahh
08:50.12Venemoagreed
08:50.23Venemo(I thought you facepalmed at what I said)
08:50.26dm8tbrnah
08:50.53dm8tbrsecurity issue disclosure would be an arguable topic, but different story, let's not troll
09:03.17achipaVenemo: nice

09:07.36Stskeepsexcellent
09:08.01alteregoYes, I spoke to him about it in San Francisco
09:08.21vandenoevernice, current notes tool lacks an export function
09:08.39alteregoAnd hyper linking :P
09:10.30VenemoConny is not sure yet how he will proceed though, as QML's TextEdit stuff lacks any serious functionality
09:10.45Venemoso he said that he currently has a QTextEdit in a QML proxy

09:23.05TermanaThey just aren't shoving it in the post :p
09:26.36Termanaactually nearly 2 weeks

09:27.26Stskeepsfor various reasons it's good for me to have a consumer one to experience same things as rest of you :P
09:29.45VenemoStskeeps, any news on meego.com meego? :)
09:29.53Stskeepsworking on it but it's summer
09:30.16Venemoalso, will MeeGo CE support the N950 in the long term?
09:30.25Stskeepsyes
09:30.55Venemoit seems to be a valid upgrade path in maybe half a year or a full year from now (or sooner)
09:33.39Venemohm, I want the facebook app to completely ignore the messages from games
09:36.57lardmanmorning
09:37.29Termanalardman, morning
09:37.49lardmanhi Termana
09:38.22lardmanany news on a newer flash image for the device? I imagine there's no desire for us to file bugs?
09:39.39Termanalardman, I don't think they want bugs filed especially considering the age of the image and bugs already fixed.
09:40.20lardmanyep, that's what I assumed
09:41.08achipaVenemo: a kingdom for a facebook app that can ignore games !
09:42.07lardman's attempts to compile mBarcode over the weekend were stymied by a lack of internet
09:42.18lardmanunpacks laptop to do some building here
09:43.21Venemoachipa, it could work with a black list. if the message contains "via FarmVille" or sth, it simply ignores it.
09:43.31Venemoachipa, btw, have you managed to run the game?
09:44.36Venemoyeah lardman, I'm also interested in a new image
09:46.01fralsachipa: get facebook to implement api for filtering them out and np ill hack it in
09:46.20fralsachipa: anything ignored on fb.com should be ignored in app as well fwiw
09:46.27frals... except when facebook api takes a shit on itself
09:49.07Venemofrals, you can hack stuff in?
09:49.49Venemowell honestly
09:50.04Venemo90% of the stuff what the facebook client on N950 shows me are not visible at all on facebook.com
09:52.33Venemobut you could start by filtering by "via ..."
09:55.13fralsVenemo: facebook app on n950 shows whatever "most recent" is showing on facebook.com
09:55.47fralsor should, otherwise facebook api is fucked :p
09:56.05fralsVenemo: and what about the people who *want* to see all farmville posts? ;-)
09:56.36Venemofrals, nope
09:57.26Venemofrals, there is a "friend" of mine who plays a game called FrontierVille. in N950 I see all the crappy messages related to it, while in facebook.com I don't see any of it
09:57.35Venemofrals, nor in "most recent"
09:58.31fralsVenemo: then its a bug in facebook.coms API :(
09:58.47lardmanIs there a twitter app?
09:59.01lardmanJust that I don't see it in the accounts page, but I saw it mentioned elsewhere iirc
09:59.02fralsthe solution i suggest is get better friends, thats what i told the manager complaining about the same thing ;-)
10:00.26fralslardman: afaik later versions should have it
10:00.35lardmanbut not ours?
10:00.45lardmanif so np, just wanted to check I'd not missed it
10:00.47fralslardman: no, dont think so
10:01.18lardmanthe only other usability issue is the lack of notifications that you've missed something via the LED
10:01.23Venemofrals, can't you just add an option so that we can manually filter what we see on N950?
10:01.44Venemofrals, also, a welcome feature of the Facebook client on N950 would be a blacklist or whitelist
10:02.00fralsVenemo: too big of a feature to sneak in at this point im afraid ;)
10:02.05Venemoso that I could choose whose stuff I don't wanna see
10:02.07fralsand for blacklist you have facebook.com
10:02.17Venemowell I do wanna see them on facebook.com
10:02.19Venemojust not on my phone
10:03.19lardmantried out N95 headset, works nicely, glad I didn't get rid of it
10:04.41mgedmin1st time I launched the Calendar app on Harmattan, it suggested I set up a sync
10:04.47mgedminI said "no", thinking "later"
10:04.51mgedminnow I've no clue how to do that
10:05.27alteregoHeh
10:05.31fralsmgedmin: accounts
10:05.33alteregoGo to settings and then go to sync
10:06.18mgedminsettings of what?
10:06.23alterego"Sync and Backup" is what I used ..
10:06.23mgedmindo I add a CalDAV account?
10:06.38mgedminI tried looking in Sync/Backup, it asked me to add devices
10:06.42fralsmgedmin: depends what accounts calendar you want, i suppose :)
10:06.45mgedminI was thinking "google calendar"
10:06.53fralsmgedmin: in that case caldav usually
10:07.09alteregoOh right, yeah, accounts is probably it then ;)
10:07.20alteregoI thought you meant import from a device, (I should read more) :P
10:07.25mgedminwell, I suppose I wanted to see what options it would offer me, really
10:08.30mgedminnow I think I've a grasp of the principles -- accounts for online calentars, sync for device calendars

10:24.38Venemofrals, can I ask you something?
10:24.47fralsVenemo: cant promise ill answer ;p
10:25.58Venemofrals, could you please point your colleague that works on the home screens to this? http://forum.meego.com/showpost.php?p=26251&postcount=33
10:26.41fralsVenemo: its locked to portrait for a reason i would assume
10:27.23Venemofrals, indeed, and many of us would very much like that "reason" (ie. this bug) to be fixed
10:27.24djszapiCould someone build a package today for the Harmattan target on the C-OBS site ?
10:28.01lcukdjszapi, obs is on the wonk this morning as you noticed, people are fixing it
10:28.12fralsVenemo: i would be very surprised if its locked because of that bug and not because of some headhoncho decided it
10:28.13lcuk(your earlier PM)
10:28.20Venemofrals, honestly, locking these to portrait may be a good design decision for a keyboardless phone (N9), but it's definitely an inconvenience for a keyboarded device (N950)
10:28.24djszapilcuk: actually it works for me compared to yesterday apart from the building part.
10:28.45fralsVenemo: and enduser device is keyboard less, guess where resources will be put ;)
10:28.46lcukso it is ONBS (Open Suse Not Building Service)!
10:28.55lcukdjszapi, not building is like a toaster without bread
10:29.03Venemofrals, the "lock" can be fixed by editing the css file, but we (the community) can't fix this bug since the package is closed

10:29.39Venemofrals, to me, the fix sounds as trivial as calling a redraw() on the onOrientationChanged()
10:30.02djszapilcuk: I am happy I could upload my files, actually. That is also a very good progress.
10:30.14lcukgood
10:30.16fralsVenemo: do you think the people who engineered the homescreen dont know how to code? :))
10:30.25lcukthen the guys will get the building up and running shortly
10:30.34Venemofrals, I said no such thing, no offense meant
10:30.56hiemanshustill no clue about my N950 :/
10:31.03Venemofrals, apparently, the visual glitch disappears when I go away from this homescreen and then go back to it (either by opening an app and swiping away, or just swiping to another homescreen and back)... so adding a redraw should fix it.
10:31.25fralsVenemo: i want everything to be open sourced as much as the next guy and i want it to work properly on my n950 as well, but i think most of the easyfixes have been made and the rest is a resource issue AFAIK (note:: im a lowely engineer who know nothing about why decisions are made outside the decisions i make)
10:33.07*** part/#harmattan djszapi (~lpapp@plexyplanet.org)
10:33.19Venemofrals, I understand that, but maybe the meegotouch-home engineer could add this few lines of fix to his code without making the decision makers angry
10:34.57lcukVenemo, :) sigh if only.  lets suppose he did this patch (which had no bug number to attach it against) caused a further complication
10:35.13fralsVenemo: what lcuk said :)
10:35.14lcukand raised further bugs (not saying in this example it would)
10:35.44fralsor maybe this extra redraw would cause the power consumption to go above the threshhold or anything else, things are not as trivial as they seem always ;)
10:35.46Venemoadding a redraw() will not cause further complication
10:35.56Venemobecause it will be triggered in landscape only
10:36.04lcukVenemo, adding ANY line of code can cause issue
10:36.18Venemowhich is disabled by default... so the normal users won't see a difference
10:36.53lcukVenemo, on saturday
10:36.58lcuksomebody offered you a packaging patch
10:37.19lcukif you accepted that patch and there was also a couple of lines of code in the actual app included
10:37.26lcukwould you accept the same patch as easily?
10:37.35VenemoI would review it and decide accordingly
10:37.58lcuk"Patch #1, fixing debian packaging"   Also sets overclocking bits (single line to do it)
10:38.08Venemohm?
10:38.53lcuki am trying to let you see that "trivial" patches which seem obvious externally can have issue
10:38.56Venemosomeone offered me a patch for something that was already fixed a long ago. I directly asked if the patch modified anything in the app itself and the answer was no. should it have contained fixes for the app, I would have reviewed them and acted accordingly
10:39.07lcukand there are real reasons to not just accept everything
10:39.23lcukVenemo, that is like the nokia builds
10:39.42Venemohowever, if the fix is so trivial, it wouldn't take any long for me to accept it
10:39.56fralsVenemo: what if i looked in to the code and it already had a redraw() in the right place?
10:40.23lcukfrals, is the n8 using oled screen?
10:40.34Venemofrals, in that case, this is not an easyfix
10:40.47fralslcuk: dunno what it has, some fancy stuff with lowreso at least
10:41.38fralsVenemo: not saying it has, but chances are it does ;)
10:42.00Venemolcuk, http://www.developer.nokia.com/Devices/Device_specifications/N8-00/ -> General -> Display Technology -> AMOLED
10:42.56Venemofrals, in that case, QTimer::singleShot(500, this, redraw())
10:43.04Venemookay, I'm joking now.
10:45.18lardmananyone know off hand whether we need any fpu flags?
10:45.22lcukfrals, lowreso?
10:45.30fralslcuk: low resolution*
10:45.47lcukfrals, resolution invariant ui
10:45.49Stskeepslardman: fpu=neon, mfloat-abi=hard
10:45.56lardmanthanks Stskeeps
10:46.15lardmanalso, is there a maemo-version equivalent?
10:46.38lardmanactually I should be able to find out with some apt-cache search(ing)
10:47.04fralslcuk: sure, but its still not as pretty as a high resolution screen :D
10:47.13Venemofrals, so anyway, all I'm asking is that you ask the person responsible about this bug and if his answer is that he knows about it and it's hard to fix, then I'll be content knowing that it's hard to fix. however if it turns out to be an easyfix, it might as well get fixed.
10:47.48fralsVenemo: if i can find the person who works on it ill pass it along, but i dont think i have any idea who actually does tbh
10:48.10lcukfrals, oh for sure, 1024*600 is nice on my meego ideapad :P
10:48.13fralsbut if you find any problem in PIM stuff i know the pople ;)
10:48.16Venemofrals, maybe the commit log tells it?
10:48.29fralslcuk: 854x480 is fine on a phone ;-)
10:48.32lcukVenemo, file a bug
10:48.39lcukfrals, ++++++++++++
10:48.49DocScrutinizerVenemo: my next question is: "where do I find the address to send back this aegis coffin?"
10:49.05fralsVenemo: would have to dig out the repo url first
10:49.20fralsVenemo: but ill drop the link somewhere it has some visibility at least
10:49.25Venemolcuk, it has been officially stated by Quim that landscape (and X-Fade's trick to trigger it) is not supported. thus I know definitely what the outcome would be if I filed a bug

11:35.38djszapisorry ?
11:37.47xerxes2some extra tricks seems to be needed
11:38.21djszapiWhat are you trying to do ?
11:39.27xerxes2just copy the file to /usr/bin does not seem to work
11:39.29djszapixerxes2: you would like to put your binary there without packaging or what do you mean ?
11:39.41xerxes2just for testing
11:39.50djszapixerxes2: package it
11:39.58xerxes2will do
11:40.02djszapior run the relevant aegis command
11:40.04djszapioh?
11:40.23xerxes2so you can't just copy a file to /usr/bin?
11:40.38xerxes2run it with python first works just fine
11:40.50xerxes2python /usr/bin/panucci
11:40.52Venemoyou can, if you set the necessary stuff with Aegis
11:40.53xerxes2like that

11:41.16VenemoAegis is the security framework on Harmattan
11:41.18djszapiThe name of the Sec. FW.

12:30.51Venemomgedmin, ping
12:30.56mgedminmm?
12:31.02lardmaninteresting maemo named packages listed there
12:31.27Venemomgedmin, are you the one who told me that he knew how to remap the hw keyboard?
12:31.34djszapilardman: since Harmattant is maemo ?
12:31.52mgedmincould be...
12:32.03mgedminexcept I didn't remap the hardware keyboard
12:32.08Venemomgedmin, so, could you tell me how to?
12:32.09lardmandjszapi: I thought it was being sold as meego?
12:32.09mgedminI adjusted the sym+letter combinations
12:32.11Venemohmm
12:32.18Venemomgedmin, that is what I wanna do
12:32.31Venemomgedmin, I want to assign some Fn combinations
12:32.41mgedminsym+letter == very special case
12:32.54mgedminyou keep pressing it, maliit keeps cycling over accented characters
12:32.55Venemomgedmin, ah, you talking about that thingy which pops up when I press SYM? or you're talking about grey arrow (fn key)?
12:32.55djszapilardman: We started it as maemo. I am not sure about how the managers sell it. Not that I care. Different kernel, packaging system, etc.
12:33.29mgedminI'm talking about the SYM key that you hold down while repeatedly pressing letters to input various accents
12:33.35mgedminon a n950 hardware keyboard
12:33.39Venemolardman, Harmattan is Maemo 6, but it shares a lot of components (especially middleware) with MeeGo
12:33.51mgedminif you want to make fn+key do something fancy, you'll need to deal with XKB rather than Maliit
12:33.59Venemomhm
12:34.19mgedmin/usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/nokia/uh...
12:34.26fralsoh, you can cycle thru accents with sym key? need to try that :D
12:34.29mgedmindon't remember the exact path
12:34.31Venemomgedmin, I tried that, but it didn't exactly work
12:34.43mgedminfrals, doesn't work for English (UK) because of a silly language code mismatch in an XML file
12:35.14lardmandjszapi, Venemo: any chance of a maemo.org repo then to hold Extras-*? ;)
12:36.10Venemomgedmin, if you could teach me your SYM trick, I'd be grateful for that too
12:36.24mgedminhttp://pastie.org/2218247
12:36.28djszapilardman: obs :)
12:36.38mgedminbecome root, cd /usr/share/meegotouch/virtual-keyboard/layouts, edit the .xml files in there
12:36.40djszapilardman: there are already app and app-testing repositories for this purpose.
12:36.49lardmanhmm
12:36.52mgedminhwkbcharloops.xml defines SYM+letter accent loops
12:37.07Venemomgedmin, where is that file?
12:37.12lardmanso sb to do development, then upload to obs like the maemo autobuilder?
12:37.25mgedminVenemo, <mgedmin> become root, cd /usr/share/meegotouch/virtual-keyboard/layouts, edit the .xml files in there
12:37.36Venemoah, thank you
12:37.51mgedminI soooo need Harmattan Extras with some essential tools (like vim)
12:37.52Venemodo I need any special actions to apply the changes?
12:37.56fralsmgedmin: cheers
12:37.59mgedminVenemo, yes!
12:38.03djszapilardman: obs is not any different regarding to the targets. You can use either the webinterface, as I do, or the "osc" tool.
12:38.06mgedmin/sbin/initctl restart xsession/meego-im-uiserver
12:38.25Venemomgedmin, thank you
12:38.38Venemomgedmin, also, you're sayin it doesn't work with en-GB?
12:38.49mgedminI'm saying the code is "en", not "en_GB"
12:39.00Venemoah.
12:39.02Venemook
12:39.07mgedminhwkbcharloops is defined by the user interface language, btw
12:39.14mgedminnot your selected virtual keyboard input method
12:39.35Venemomgedmin, there is no "en.xml", just "en_gb.xml" and "en_gb_default.xml"
12:39.45mgedminthose are virtual keyboard definition files
12:39.54mgedminI was talking about device language
12:40.16mgedminuse gconftool -g /meegotouch/i18n/language
12:40.23Venemook, device language is English (United Kingdom), so which XML file do I edit?
12:40.24mgedminto see the UI language code
12:40.33mgedminfor the hardware keyboard?
12:40.43mgedmin<mgedmin> hwkbcharloops.xml defines SYM+letter accent loops
12:40.52Venemoaah
12:41.21mgedminthere's also hwsymbols_common for the virtual keyboard panel you get when you press and release SYM with the hardware keyboard open
12:41.35Venemo'gconftool -g /meegotouch/i18n/language' = en
12:41.36mgedminand for regular virtual keyboard there's a bunch of $language_code.xml
12:42.03mgedminit's nice that you can just add a new xx.xml and it'll become selectable in the text input settings
12:42.14mgedmin(after you restart meego-im-uiserver like I said above)
12:42.31Venemook
12:43.52Venemomgedmin, must the characters be &#x1234; format or can I just use plain UTF8 characters there?
12:44.14mgedminI used plain UTF-8 as you can see in the pastie I mentioned earlier
12:44.32mgedminthe nice thing about XML is that it has well-defined rules about dealing with Unicode
12:44.36mgedminand defaults to UTF-8
12:44.57mgedminif I were to submit a patch upstream, I'd probably convert those into &#x...; to avoid mishaps

13:49.18cpscottilcuk, one thing not mentioned there: I can't even add a +x to my binary..

13:55.14khertanpffff which lose of time this qt quick component
13:55.21khertanclearly documentation is missing
13:57.19lardmanany thoughts for a replacement for qmaemo5informationbox ?
13:57.45lardmanfor debugging purposes rather than keeping to the UI guidelines
13:58.07khertanlardman, this is the yellow box that appear in the center of screen ?
13:58.23lardmankhertan: yes, though I think it's the bar at the top actually
13:58.30lardmanbut that's probably the same fn call

13:59.21khertanlardman, let me verify but i found something similar in qml component
13:59.30lardmanthanks khertan
13:59.40lardmanwas trying to avoid QML for the time being
13:59.52lardmanbut I guess I'll need to make the jump sooner rather than later
14:01.11khertanlardman : http://doc.qt.nokia.com/qt-components-symbian-1.0/qml-infobanner.html
14:01.38lardmanthanks khertan
14:01.50khertanit s nammed info banner in the second qmlcompo.... application there is example in your n950
14:02.03lardmancool
14:02.25lardmanany good docs available yet talking about porting from a C++ app to a QML one?
14:02.28khertanthe doc is mark as symbian but it s the same in most case for harmattan
14:02.47khertanlardman, qml clearly miss documentation
14:02.58lardmanhmm, not ideal
14:03.53lardmanwholesale re-writes required for anything with a vaguely complex ui then I guess
14:04.40*** join/#harmattan hardaker (~hardaker@75-101-64-22.dsl.dynamic.omsoft.com)
14:09.20khertanlardman, everything need rewrite in qml
14:09.31khertanthis is what nokia call inovation and future
14:10.04khertanand it s marvelous, you can import specifics api for each platforms ... it s the future
14:10.30khertanand on the other side all android dev call that fragmentation :)
14:22.22lardmanSo do we see much point in re-writing things to use QML?
14:22.37lardmanI understand the arguments for it re multi-platform and quick changes to uis
14:22.57lardmanbut if you only support one platform....
14:25.41rm_workso, no luck on migrating conversations yet?
14:25.58rm_workmaybe i'll look at that, i'd already been playing with the conversations sqlite DB in maemo5
14:26.22rm_workwould people find a conversations transfer script useful?
14:26.34khertandidn't care :)
14:27.15khertanwant a fully working QWidget theme and support for qwidget in qt futur roadmap
14:29.15fiferboylardman: Qt Components should eliminate entire UI rewrites, although there may still be tweaking for different platforms/resolutions/UI paradigms
14:29.58lardmanWell the components perhaps, but you still need to rewrite the javascript afaiu?
14:30.45fiferboyYou can have the QML interface connect to your C++ backend, and the backend can be the same for every platform (AFAICT)
14:30.56lardmanyeah I get that bit
14:31.16khertan<fiferboy> lardman: Qt Components should eliminate entire UI rewrites, <<< mouhahaha
14:31.23lardmanit's whether it's worth re-writing the backend, or at least plumbing it for Qt Component use if it's only for one platform?
14:32.22fiferboylardman: My app has a very simple QML frontend and a very simple C++ backend
14:32.37fiferboyThe interaction between the two is simple enough to not be a burden
14:32.43lardmanin the case of mBarcode it probably is as then other people could use the decoder easily, but just as a general question
14:32.57lardmans/is/is worth rewriting
14:33.08lardmanbut it will also be a pita
14:33.09rm_worklardman: ooo mBarcode
14:33.17rm_workI am still interested in making a useful UI for that
14:33.26rm_workas in like, uses a UPC backend
14:33.38fiferboylardman: If you are only targetting Harmattan with an application then I guess it wouldn't pay to abstract the interface
14:33.39rm_worklike I did for the old one
14:33.44lardmanwell backend plugins are easy to write
14:33.51rm_workyeah
14:33.53lardmanand will remain the same
14:34.15lardmanthough will need to do some tweaking to get the ical/vcard stuff working perhaps
14:34.59lardmanah well, it will give me something to do this evening now that I've got all the deps downloaded
14:35.25lardmanjust need to remove/replace the maemo5-isations so I can check it runs, then move onto componentising it
14:35.34fiferboylardman: Where would the fun be if we could just go on using the same familiar technologies all the time? :)
14:35.58lardmanfiferboy: indeed, why stand on the shoulders of anyone when one can go back to first principles every time ;)
14:36.27fiferboylardman: Are you trying to run a QWidget based application in Harmattan?
14:37.25lardmanI was hoping to
14:37.37lardmanat least to check that the camera subsystem is working, etc
14:38.23fiferboylardman: I have had some success with that (in scratchbox), but as you say the Maemo5 stuff has to go
14:38.55fiferboyscratchbox was a bit weird about theming a few things, like combo boxes, so it is hard to tell if there is a complete QWidget theme
14:39.33lardmanoh, I've never bothered running anything with a gui in sb, I guess I'll just try on-device as usual
14:40.03fiferboyThat is probably a good idea
14:40.19fiferboySometimes it is hard to tell if there is something wrong with the GUI or something wrong with scratchbox :)

18:43.41VenemoDocScrutinizer, dbus-explorer is a graphical app which lets you "browse" all the D-Bus serives and their interfaces in a tree view, and it even lets you call the specific methods

19:01.35harbaum?? Just a qml app
19:01.53Venemodo you use the MeeGo Qt Components with it?
19:01.57harbaumnope
19:02.09harbaumjust my own ones
19:02.12Venemoin that case, you may need to take care of it yourself, and I dunno how
19:02.43harbaummy app can properly handle width < height if you mean that
19:02.58harbaumit just doesn't rotate at all
19:03.25fiferboyharbaum: You might have to listen for a window size change signal
19:03.50fiferboyThere is an orientation start/stop/about to start signal with the Qt Components
19:03.58Venemohaha
19:04.09Venemoand about to start doesn't work when the app rotates in the task switcher
19:04.15Venemohaven't tested the others

19:04.56Venemofiferboy, either it's a bug in the components or I use it in a bad manner... but it rotates when the app is in the front.

19:18.33DocScrutinizer51Venemo: boot seems did help
19:19.05spenaphey, anyone using QML knows how to access the preferred system values for font sizes, colors, etc? There are some javascript files which contain that, but I don't know if I should import them directly (and how to do it)
19:19.35spenapin /usr/lib/qt4/imports/com/nokia/extras/UIConstants.js, for example
19:22.08VenemoDocScrutinizer51 :)
19:26.33grispenap: I was looking for the same thing: http://qt.gitorious.org/qt-components/qt-components/blobs/master/src/meego/plugin.cpp#line147
19:27.07gribut I always get "Can't find variable: UiConstants" when trying to use it :(
19:27.33spenapgri, then I don't see the problem with copying the interesting parts from their JS to mine :)
19:28.15griwhy copy?
19:28.33spenapmmm
19:28.57spenapis there a way to import a javascript library with some non-absolute path?
19:29.29spenapor is «import "/usr/lib/qt4/imports/com/nokia/extras/UIConstants.js" as NokiaUI» the right way?
19:29.56Venemoif you don't mind being platform specific
19:30.17spenapthat's the thing: I don't like that, but also copying the values doesn't look too portable
19:30.27ieatlintStskeeps: it's interesting that link you posted about detecting orientation change in QML..
19:30.52ieatlintthose instructions are severely flawed
19:30.56Stskeepsoh god, i didn't paste porn by accident did i
19:31.09ieatlintas the documentation for qt-mobility states "The orientation sensor reports the orientation of the device. As it operates below the UI level it does not report on or even know how the UI is rotated. Most importantly this means that this sensor cannot be used to detect if a device is in portrait or landscape mode."
19:31.20grispenap: If the cpp plugin would work, there wouldn't be a need to use the constants. Label { font: UiConstants.TitleFont } should do the trick - but it doesn't :(
19:31.42*** join/#harmattan smoku (~spectrum@xkh0g2.infr.xiaoka.com)
19:31.45ieatlintit also has a slower polling rate, and will cause delays in rotation
19:33.01ieatlintthe classic way to detect is to watch for resize events, and then test if w > h, which will tell you if it's landscape/portrait and also always be in line with what the phone decides the orientation is
19:33.17spenapgri, yeah, so javascript then
19:33.49grispenap: The javascript has no information about fonts etc. qt-components seems to use both
19:34.20spenapgri, check /usr/lib/qt4/imports/com/nokia/extras/UIConstants.js
19:34.20griups
19:34.21griwrong
19:36.14griSo I don't understand why they have both constants "files"
19:37.25spenapI guess that they don't have an unified approach yet
19:41.16grilooks like both are barely used inside qt-components itself
19:41.43spenapI'm asking in qt-qml atm
19:42.59spenapgri, they tell me that there's no official approach at the moment..
19:43.29grinice, so your approach with copying is the safest one :)
19:45.36spenapwell, I'll be importing those files as UIConstants or the like, not copying them
19:50.37grispenap: Where is the path from? in scratchbox it's com/meego/UIConstants.js
19:51.12spenapoh
19:51.21spenap¬¬ that's way better
19:51.30spenapI was wondering how to do that
19:51.35spenapwhere did you learn it?
19:52.29grihuh? I just shortened the path, in scratchbox I don't have a /usr/lib/qt4/imports/com/nokia/extras/UIConstants.js
19:54.34spenapoh, well. I thought you could refer to a JS library in some short way, and that it would be automatically resolved. I don't know why you don't have it
19:57.45griinstead I have a /usr/lib/qt4/imports/com/nokia/meego/UIConstants.js and a /usr/lib/qt4/imports/com/meego/UIConstants.js
19:58.17gri(the directories' contents are equal)
19:59.45spenapgri, if you check with «dpkg -L qt-components», doesn't it contain this /extras directory? mine does
20:00.43*** join/#harmattan javispedro (~javier@Maemo/community/contributor/javispedro)
20:01.43grispenap: I have the extras directory but it only contains a "constants.js" which is something different to "UIConstants.js" and the directory also contains only a few components like Tumbler, ListButton, CountBubble ..
20:03.11spenapah, then maybe I just messed it up. Both "constants" files are useful. While the UIConstants one has font sizes, margins and the like, this Constants inside extras has list sizes and colors for the main and secondary text

20:42.49SpeedEvilFor some things, that's flat out wrog. Not many though.
20:42.52javispedroDocScrutinizer: well, not sure about that
20:42.53SpeedEvilFor example, AR
20:43.07JaffaVenemo: Sure. Is it in OBS so I can track it with apt? :-)
20:43.17VenemoJaffa, yours is the first, mine is only "one of the first" ;)
20:43.38javispedrofor a start, I'm not sure such an API existed -- the fact that apps on task view get switched to portrait is a surprise to me
20:43.39DocScrutinizerSpeedEvil: that's been at me? AR is not dealing with portrait/landscape
20:43.51VenemoJaffa, unfortunately I haven't a clue about OBS. some guy packaged an earlier version I think... maybe a few days ago, but that is obsolete now. I can point you to a .deb though.
20:43.59JaffaVenemo: That'll do

20:44.38DocScrutinizerSpeedEvil: quite obviously a spirit level wouldn't want to bother about the virtual partrait/landscape orientation of the middleware either
20:46.20deimoswhy I can't set Button "width" and other qml values ? What I am doing wrong ?
20:46.29DocScrutinizerther has to be one central data source that provides orientation of user in relation to device, as that's the only thing that matters regarding L/P
20:46.56VenemoJaffa, I'll read it as soon as I'm finished with the crapwork I'm doing now (non-N950-related paid work)
20:47.20javispedroDocScrutinizer: you'd be surprised about how rotation works in harmattan
20:47.28DocScrutinizerI mean the user could even do a handstand
20:48.19DocScrutinizerit's absolute nonsense to unconditionally orient the screen so it points down == center of earth
20:50.21DocScrutinizerif a sufficient number of apps starts do do the wrong thing here (which is direct readout of accelerometer), then we end with a botch that overrides accelerometer data for a orientation lock, and with broken spirit-level apps etc
20:50.35DocScrutinizers/do do/to do/
20:51.44javispedrothat's already how it is now..
20:53.12DocScrutinizerscreen orientation is NOT accelerometer orientation. Don't use any direct accelerometer data for screen orientation. Define one data source that clearly states it is NOT always in sync with accelerometer and only to be used for L/P
20:55.26DocScrutinizerjavispedro: well, bad enough. Maybe it's not too late to fix it
20:55.50Venemookay!
20:56.02VenemoSeems that "Memory Game" does not fit into the app grid (too long)
20:56.12Venemoso, I'm looking for a name for the app that fits there
20:56.16Venemoany ideas?
20:56.17DocScrutinizerit's as (sorry) idiotic a system architecture as if each app would manage its own screen brightness
20:57.11DocScrutinizervirtual orientation is a system domain task, definitely not an app domain task
20:57.43SpeedEvilBad for power too, as all of the apps won't poll at the same time the accellerometer
20:57.55DocScrutinizerindeed
20:58.07DocScrutinizercomplete nightmare, in several regards
20:58.14VenemoDocScrutinizer, just FYI, that is why there is the sensor framework. so sensorfw calculates the orientation with whatever voodoo magic and it tells the apps about it if the apps ask.
20:58.38DocScrutinizerVenemo: yes, that's how it should be
20:59.32DocScrutinizerapps MUST NOT use any other means to decide whether L or P.
20:59.35DocScrutinizer~2119
20:59.35infobotThe key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED",  "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119.
20:59.55GAN900They still have only one line on application names
21:00.02GAN900gone be a lot of ellipses.
21:00.33DocScrutinizerin appstarter? yeah nice ;-P
21:00.48javispedrosensorfw only polls the accelerometer
21:00.58DocScrutinizer""please use WidgetGa..."
21:01.07javispedroit is each and every app which calculates what its orientation should be depending on whatever logic they want
21:01.29javispedrowhich is why I was saying that uniform rotation lock in Harmattan is impossible, and I mentioned this weeks ago
21:02.17DocScrutinizerjavispedro: obviously sensorFW has to provide a physical and a logical orientations, and the two are largely unrelated
21:02.22javispedroit also the way it will work on my SDL -- you listen to the accelerometer and notify system which orientation "your logic" decides --
21:02.28javispedroand also the way it works on WebOS.
21:02.37javispedro(which Harmattan is clearly based upon ;)) j/k
21:02.48javispedro(but only this last sentence is the joke)
21:03.22DocScrutinizerthe whole situation is a bad joke
21:04.17JaffaVenemo: Memento
21:04.27Jaffagoes +1 on his naming things doodah
21:04.29DocScrutinizerI mean I'm not the ueber system architect so nobody else ever before could have noticed that - so why is there no clean definitive advisory on that?
21:04.36JaffaDocScrutinizer: I want orientation based on face recognition
21:05.12DocScrutinizerJaffa: fair enough - and for sure your orientation wouldn't care at all about accelerometers then
21:05.22VenemoJaffa,  :)
21:05.28DocScrutinizerand also work in spaceshuttle
21:05.38Venemocurrent ideas are MemGame and YourMemory
21:05.43VenemoMemento sounds nice :)
21:05.46DocScrutinizerJaffa: actually that's a brilliant idea
21:06.39JaffaDocScrutinizer: Also solves the issue when I'm holding the device in bed, lying down and it decides to be portrait (when I want it to be landscape)
21:06.40DocScrutinizerJaffa: the cam already *has* face detection
21:06.59DocScrutinizerJaffa: I bet the face orientation comes for free with that
21:07.14DocScrutinizerJaffa: exactly
21:07.25javispedroJaffa: knowing the rules behind MTF orientation detection serves me well there ;) (on inverted landscape it will be on portrait if last orientation was portrait)
21:08.38rm_workGAN900: i'm legitimately excited about writing a backlight widget (if someone doesn't beat me to it)
21:09.08rm_workwith the source opened for the MCE lib, and the neat way the statusbar applets are oriented, it should be a breeze to just shove it under the volume one :P
21:09.24rm_workand significantly less config necessary
21:09.35rm_workwho was it that was also doing this?
21:09.39rm_workMohammadAG?
21:09.43rm_workI forget
21:09.54DocScrutinizermay I dare and boldly introduce a int user-screen-orientation, range 0..360 unit degrees
21:09.58rm_worki guess if you beat me to it, so be it, i'll just work on something else
21:14.40JaffaDocScrutinizer: :)
21:16.51rm_workDocScrutinizer: rofl
21:17.02rm_workdoes xrandr let me do it? :P

21:17.10rm_worklcuk: nope
21:17.11lcukit is quite nifty
21:17.29rm_workhonestly i'd be happy with a copy of the volume control slider that controls brightness instead
21:17.29rm_workbut

21:17.43rm_workyou got a screenshot?
21:18.08lcuka mo
21:18.29javispedrorotation is not done using xrandr
21:18.47javispedrobut if you patched libMTF, you could introduce arbitrary degree-precision rotation support
21:18.56javispedroso yes, you could have 45º rotation
21:19.19rm_work:P
21:19.24DocScrutinizerrm_work: I always though xrandr was all about that, yes
21:19.25rm_worklibMTF is what it uses?

21:22.00lcukrm_work, that is the brightness controller on the n8, thats all
21:22.03javispedroit works. enough for me. now keep it stable for a few versions so that I can code SDL against that "rotation way".
21:22.08rm_worklcuk: right but how does it work...

21:22.21rm_worklcuk: ah ok, i thought it might be more complicated than that
21:22.27rm_workit was not immediately apparent
21:22.32lcukdon't overthink, its symbian :P
21:22.36rm_workthought maybe you had to pick a circle or something
21:22.37rm_worklol
21:22.50rm_workseems like it is just taking extra space for the heck of it
21:23.11rm_worki mean, i could include something like just the bottom strip (black to white) for reference
21:23.17rm_workbut it'd probably look a bit out of place
21:23.35rm_worklet me look at the widgets i can use again
21:24.44DocScrutinizerjavispedro: is there a specific ticket against QtM or QML or whatever that needs to get opened? I have no overview about which level of system does/provides/fails-on what wrt orientation
21:24.49lcuki have to say, tracy is wanting this n8, it is a well built phone o_O
21:25.57javispedroDocScrutinizer: you might want to open a feature request for providing a way to lock an orientation externally in a MTF app.
21:26.39DocScrutinizerseems like xrandr, if implemented, would provide user-screen-orientation, but as it's not it's up to anybody's guess how to determine what's the system's logical orientation now
21:26.48javispedroxrandr will NOT be implemented
21:26.54javispedroI pushed it neraly half a year ago.
21:26.57javispedroeven arjan agreed with me.
21:27.09Venemomeh.
21:27.27DocScrutinizerjavispedro: I might have helped if only I knew about it
21:27.32VenemoI thought Maemo 5 used XRandR
21:27.33DocScrutinizerhelped on pushing
21:27.39javispedroVenemo: yes, Harmattan doesn't.
21:27.40DocScrutinizerbut probably just meh
21:27.45Venemomeh indeed.
21:27.51javispedroDocScrutinizer: when the _kernel guy_ agrees with me and they don't implement it, well..
21:28.07javispedroto give them a break, I understand that the rotation animation with xrandr is... hard.
21:28.12DocScrutinizerturns away, deeply depressed
21:28.48xerxes2have a problem with raw qml, it shows a grey bar at the bottom
21:28.59xerxes2anyone else seen that?
21:29.13xerxes2fullscreen works fine though
21:29.30DocScrutinizerleaving room, mumbling "F*.-# animation, better do nothing than a simple thing?"
21:29.52javispedroDocScrutinizer: still, a hook in MTF for an external orientation lock (gconf key, etc.) is probably a trivial feature request
21:30.04javispedroand if we can the major toolkits to agree on such a key
21:30.12javispedroit would be pretty decent.
21:30.17DocScrutinizeryes
21:31.05javispedrootherwise, you can still probably lock orientation if you lie to MTF apps about:
21:31.12javispedrothe accelerometer and the keyboard open/closed state
21:31.33javispedroand the status of tv out
21:31.52DocScrutinizeryeah super!!! my spirit level will be as amused about that as your AR (oops was that SpeedEvil 's AR?)
21:31.54javispedrowhich are the inputs to their orientation detection algorithm
21:31.59xerxes2so raw qml is locked to landcape always?
21:32.11javispedroxerxes2: as is raw qwidgets.
21:32.17rm_workwait, is there TV-out on this too?
21:32.18xerxes2i see thanks
21:32.31javispedrorm_work: via headphone plug, N900-style.
21:32.33rm_workdo I just need to use N900 cable for it?
21:32.34DocScrutinizerbbl, need a break

21:33.59rm_workshould I be trying to keep it charged constantly (i'm at work or at home with a computer 90% of the day) so i could just leave it plugged in most of the time
21:34.17rm_workis that better for the battery than letting it drain every single day and plugging it in at night? or is it irrelevant
21:34.31DocScrutinizeryes
21:34.38DocScrutinizerbetter
21:34.49rm_workso keep it as fully charged as possible

22:19.51VenemoDocScrutinizer, MeeGo 1.3 will swap to wayland anyway, so they will have a good excuse why they can do such nonsense.
22:20.07DocScrutinizer51well, if everyting else fails, then just let's lennart and introduce the orientation daemon. API is dbus, apps will ask about orientation there and everything else the app devels don't need to care about. pusblish this NOW, and hype it on the fora and ML, and in wiki. ship an example app using it
22:20.23VenemoLoL
22:20.31MohammadAGVenemo, I wonder how MeeGo 1.3 and Harmattan will work together
22:20.37VenemoMohammadAG, in no way
22:21.00VenemoMohammadAG, if Nokia engineers come to their senses, then Harmattan+1 might be based on meego.com MeeGo...
22:26.02DocScrutinizer51Venemo: just that there *are no more* Nokia engineers to do harmattan+1
22:26.22Venemothere will be
22:26.30Venemoa "disruptive" (or whatever) device
22:26.32Venemo:D
22:26.50DocScrutinizer51indeed it is
22:29.25DocScrutinizer51somebody introduced the FOSS idea to Nokia and persuaded them to try it. 770, N800,810, N900 and Nokia started to hate it. N9 and they buried it for good
22:30.47Venemobut I don't understand why.
22:31.00Venemothey could have dominated the entire market if they got it right
22:31.22DocScrutinizer51now Nokia is back to "the serious business" - with winP7
22:31.28Venemoeh
22:31.54Venemotheir attitude is the same. the managers are nuts, and they don't care about their customers
22:32.10VenemoI only feel sorry for their employees who are trying to make something out of all of that
22:32.24DocScrutinizer51yup
22:33.37DocScrutinizer51it probably sucks being a Nokia employee these days
22:36.21ieatlintyou're overthinking it
22:36.49ieatlintnokia has/had a LOT more symbian guys than maemo guys
22:36.58Venemoindeed
22:37.09Venemobut they didn't manage to get Symbian right either
22:37.10ieatlinttelling all of the symbian guys that this new thing called maemo is going to usurp you makes them fight back
22:37.15ieatlintthey did, and everyone lost
22:37.35Venemoit's always the small details and the idiotic management decisions that ruin their stuff

22:46.30SpeedEvilThe peak in feb is around rumors of MSFT acquisition of nokia?
22:46.33SpeedEvilforgets.
22:46.33TronicThe stock has gone down steadily ever since Feb11.
22:46.43TronicFeb11 = burning platform + WP7 announcement.
22:46.50SpeedEvilyeah - I know.
22:47.13SpeedEvilI think June was the detailed timescale for WP7
22:47.18SpeedEvil(end of 2011)
22:47.21TronicIt will keep going down until the board announces a strategy shift and Elop is fired.
22:47.23GAN900What a profoundly useless browser.
22:47.52SpeedEvilTronic: Indeed.
22:48.02SpeedEvilI think selling nokia short is still a good plan.
22:48.13TronicUnless some other company (Microsoft or some Chinese) makes a buy offer in attempt to overtake the company.
22:48.21SpeedEvilTrue
22:48.45TronicShorting might be a good idea still, yes, but I am not willing to risk my money on it either way.
22:49.24SpeedEvilThe price is getting low enough that some of the big chinese makers might consider it worthwhile
22:50.25TronicEspecially the dumbphone segment (tech, factories, patents, marketing channels) should be interesting for the chinese.
22:50.32SpeedEvilyep.
22:51.02Venemothink about N900->N9(50)... there aren't THAT many things that they could have added to make us all buy it
22:51.12Venemobut they didn't, because the management is stupid
22:51.20Tronic(not to mention the Nokia brand, which still has value)
22:51.26VenemoTronic ++
22:51.37SpeedEvilVenemo: ? - what do you mean - that the n950 is saleable?
22:52.18TronicMicrosoft on the other hand might be planning to buy the smartphone unit and start manufacturing Microsoft branded smartphones but that doesn't seem so likely anymore.
22:53.15VenemoSpeedEvil, I mean that they should have added some features (mostly minor details) to Harmattan that could have made us all buy the N9
22:53.25TronicWell, I'm off to bed. I guess we'll see what the future brings, eventually.
22:53.36VenemoSpeedEvil, about not selling the N950, they made another mistake.
22:54.08TronicMy estimate is for N9 to become available Sep-Oct but since the release is nerfed, it is not going to be the big revolution it should be (I am talking iPhone 5 killer here).
22:54.29SpeedEvilVenemo: ah
22:55.55SpeedEvilIndeed - the 'right' way would be to go to maemo.org. Now - for everyone that's actually coded or ported an app - offer them a n950
