| 00:00.56 | itsnotabigtruck | Aranel: but there is such a thing as initctl |
| 00:00.59 | itsnotabigtruck | it's in /sbin |
| 00:01.09 | itsnotabigtruck | if you're using meego terminal /sbin isn't in your path |
| 00:10.28 | itsnotabigtruck | SpeedEvil: except that the N9 doesn't have it |
| 00:10.46 | SpeedEvil | yeah |
| 00:10.52 | itsnotabigtruck | that's another project to do...encrypted filesystem on the N9 |
| 00:11.40 | itsnotabigtruck | but implementing it so it prompts for a password on boot would be more than a little difficult |
| 00:12.43 | itsnotabigtruck | it would be awesome to eventually have a "hardened harmattan" with communications encryption, filesystem encryption, etc. - but that would be a massive task |
| 00:13.03 | itsnotabigtruck | encrypt the world |

| 00:20.52 | DocScrutinizer | meh |
| 00:21.44 | DocScrutinizer | on HARM aegis is doing that for you. You are not allowed to encrypt things that aegis doesn't consider to be worth encrypting |
| 00:22.11 | DocScrutinizer | simply as aegis doesn't allow you to tweak system init in any way |
| 00:22.25 | DocScrutinizer | that's of coirse all just to protect you |
| 00:24.07 | DocScrutinizer | what? ... What doe you mean by "I'm not convinced of aegis doing all that only to my best intent"? Aegis and Nokia *know* what's good for you! Do you listen, sucker? |
| 00:24.12 | GeneralAntilles | yawns. |
| 00:24.13 | DocScrutinizer | ;-P |
| 00:25.41 | GeneralAntilles | What are we going to do when all of our Harmattan handsets finally die? |
| 00:25.59 | jabis | die with the handsets? :P |
| 00:26.09 | DocScrutinizer | take a deep breath, then a jig dance of joy? |
| 00:26.37 | SpeedEvil | Hope that by that time there is something more open than harmattan. |
| 00:27.43 | merlin1991 | DocScrutinizer: there is an api to store stuff in aegis protected stuff |
| 00:27.47 | merlin1991 | ;) |
| 00:27.48 | jabis | well - more open than harmattan is already [x] but working with the handset is a miss |
| 00:28.18 | DocScrutinizer | merlin1991: mhm, and where's the api to ask for password at boottime? |
| 00:28.27 | jabis | merlin, sure there is, but emulation is never the same as the real thing |
| 00:28.40 | GeneralAntilles | DocScrutinizer, and start using Android? |
| 00:29.01 | DocScrutinizer | nah, I'll continue using fremantle as I do now |
| 00:29.10 | jabis | api without specs is not an api - it's a mess (my college professor) |
| 00:29.54 | GeneralAntilles | DocScrutinizer, OK, what about when that dies? |
| 00:30.49 | DocScrutinizer | given the time span I used my previous Nokia, I'll probably die before the 3 or 4 N900 die that I may get |
| 00:31.05 | GeneralAntilles | Hehe |
| 00:32.21 | itsnotabigtruck | merlin1991: don't trust aegis protected storage |
| 00:33.07 | DocScrutinizer | actually aegis protected storage is protected against ... what now? |
| 00:33.42 | DocScrutinizer | against changing the content in a way Nokia doesn't like, it seems |
| 00:33.48 | jabis | the same things you'd never protect your own ass against - kinda x) |
| 00:34.54 | Aranel | itsnotabigtruck: thanks it worked with initctl stop apps/appname =) |
| 00:35.07 | DocScrutinizer | it doesn't occur to me like trying to set up a crypted $HOME was any brilliant idea anyway |
| 00:35.09 | Aranel | itsnotabigtruck: but it doesnt for initctl start apps/appname, what's the difference? |
| 00:35.28 | DocScrutinizer | as long as we talk about aegis encryption |
| 00:37.06 | jabis | talking about a discontinued security framework is kind of non-producive, eventhough we all agree that it's useless |
| 00:37.30 | SpeedEvil | Do we know it is? |
| 00:37.36 | SpeedEvil | Meltimi |
| 00:37.41 | SpeedEvil | Or whatever it was called. |
| 00:38.00 | jabis | well for harmattan it is |
| 00:38.05 | DocScrutinizer | well, only that this discontinued security framework also forbids usage of proper such frameworks like cryptfs |
| 00:40.19 | jabis | but the fact will never be acknowledged by the proper (nokia) officials, eventhough we've received unofficial confirmation about this like 6 months ago |
| 00:40.42 | DocScrutinizer | on N900 some users actually run a system with $HOME on cryptfs. I can't see this ever flying on HARM with aegis, thanks to locked down config |
| 00:42.21 | itsnotabigtruck | Aranel: that's strange...are you sure your daemon config is proper? |
| 00:42.29 | itsnotabigtruck | btw watch your power consumption with your daemon |

| 01:02.11 | Aranel | itsnotabigtruck: It should. But after clicking on add to start-up, it now *magically* started working again. |
| 01:02.22 | Aranel | and also /sbin/initctl start and stop too. |
| 01:04.46 | Aranel | itsnotabigtruck: if I run /usr/bin/python /path/to/py.py , it won't drop it's creds, right? :) |
| 01:05.52 | itsnotabigtruck | Aranel: all of the interpreters are installed without aegis requests |
| 01:05.58 | itsnotabigtruck | that means that they neither add nor drop creds |
| 01:06.12 | itsnotabigtruck | so if you do accli -I, then /usr/bin/python /path/to/py.py |
| 01:06.20 | itsnotabigtruck | then py.py will run with the same creds you see from accli -I |
| 01:06.48 | itsnotabigtruck | however if you run /path/to/py.py then it depends on whether you made an aegis request for py.py in your own package |

| 05:47.48 | itsnotabigtruck | Necrosporus: not sure about the modules |
| 05:48.06 | itsnotabigtruck | the kernel itself is definitely open source |
| 05:48.28 | itsnotabigtruck | though the firmware coming out soon will have a new version and nokia seems to take their time with source code requests |

| 05:51.39 | Sazpaimon | what |
| 05:51.55 | itsnotabigtruck | i bought mine for $520 or so a month ago from newegg, though they don't stock the n9 anymore |
| 05:52.07 | Necrosporus | The store which is not internet store, but the store you can go on your two |
| 05:52.24 | Necrosporus | Thats my concern |
| 05:52.25 | Sazpaimon | is this one of those shady cell phone stores that unlock phones for stupid high prices? |
| 05:52.46 | itsnotabigtruck | Necrosporus: ffs, order online |

| 05:54.19 | itsnotabigtruck | Sazpaimon: there's a bunch of amazon resellers, so "got his on amazon" doesn't say much |
| 05:54.25 | Sazpaimon | thats true |
| 05:54.27 | Sazpaimon | but negri is legit |
| 05:54.42 | itsnotabigtruck | but negri is out of stock, it looks like |
| 05:54.55 | Necrosporus | Thats my concern |
| 05:55.11 | Necrosporus | Maybe I should buy one right now, or I will lose the chance? |
| 05:55.18 | itsnotabigtruck | Necrosporus: you said that before, what's your concern |
| 05:55.20 | itsnotabigtruck | order on amazon! |
| 05:55.23 | itsnotabigtruck | it's an awesome phone |
| 05:55.29 | itsnotabigtruck | but that "local store" is the wrong way to go |
| 05:55.39 | itsnotabigtruck | charging $700 for an N9 today is just sleazy |
| 05:56.05 | Necrosporus | If I order on amazon it will go for a month |
| 05:56.16 | Necrosporus | also probably no warranty |
| 05:56.27 | itsnotabigtruck | well, i don't expect it to get drastically cheaper no matter what |
| 05:56.44 | itsnotabigtruck | there's probably no warranty no matter what, make sure to buy with a credit card that offers some sort of purchase protection |
| 05:56.58 | itsnotabigtruck | then maybe you might be able to claim on that |
| 05:57.38 | Necrosporus | Maybe its better to buy in local store where I can go back any time and demand repair or replacement for no additional fee? |
| 05:57.44 | itsnotabigtruck | NO |
| 05:58.06 | itsnotabigtruck | you already got my opinion |
| 05:58.31 | itsnotabigtruck | don't be deterred from buying the N9 - it's awesome |
| 05:58.37 | itsnotabigtruck | but you keep circling back to this sheisty cell phone store |
| 05:58.42 | itsnotabigtruck | forget that |
| 05:59.35 | Necrosporus | Yeah, you think, that warranty and instant receiving does not worth additional 200$ |
| 05:59.59 | Necrosporus | This time thats another store |

| 06:00.32 | Sazpaimon | i never care about warranties |
| 06:00.39 | Sazpaimon | after a month, if it breaks, i fix it |
| 06:05.43 | Necrosporus | well, if I would order via internet, I'd prefer 64G version |
| 06:18.53 | itsnotabigtruck | Necrosporus: if you're willing to drop the requisite funds, go for it |
| 06:19.01 | itsnotabigtruck | esp with it getting significantly cheaper now |
| 06:20.05 | itsnotabigtruck | and it's fairly unlikely that the phone will fail on its own within a year (i.e. qualify for warranty) |
| 06:20.18 | itsnotabigtruck | not just fairly unlikely, quite unlikely |
| 06:20.47 | itsnotabigtruck | and close to everything else can be fixed on your own |
| 06:21.19 | itsnotabigtruck | e.g. often all they do at authorized nokia shops is flash the phone, or maybe swap a part |
| 06:24.44 | Sazpaimon | im happy to have paid $0 for my N9 |
| 06:26.01 | Sazpaimon | my mom knew I wanted one, I made some passing remarks about it a few times to her. So 2 weeks after I get laid off, she tells me to come over to her house and gives me an N9 |
| 06:26.18 | Sazpaimon | how she managed to get one I have no idea |
| 06:26.28 | Sazpaimon | or even knew where to look |
| 06:27.02 | itsnotabigtruck | heh, awesome |
| 06:27.24 | Sazpaimon | yeah I have a pretty cool family |
| 06:27.49 | Sazpaimon | part of me wants to sell it for a 64GB version but I dont wanna do that because it was a gift |
| 06:28.12 | Sazpaimon | and I really have no use for that extra 48 gigs |
| 06:29.11 | Sazpaimon | unless I want to run nitdroid (I don't) |
| 06:33.10 | Necrosporus | so if I want to run droid, I have to get a 64 gib version? |
| 06:33.17 | Sazpaimon | no |
| 06:33.34 | Sazpaimon | im just saying that with 16 GB you wouldnt really be left with a lot of room for two OSes |
| 06:33.58 | Sazpaimon | im just saying that with 16 GB you wouldnt really be left with a lot of room for two OSes |
| 06:34.00 | Sazpaimon | erm |
| 06:34.04 | Sazpaimon | damn up key |
| 06:34.10 | itsnotabigtruck | the main reason you'd want 64GB is for music |
| 06:34.14 | Sazpaimon | conside4ring that half of it is already taken by the OS |
| 06:34.20 | Necrosporus | itsnotabigtruck, so I guess, I will wait a month or two, if the phone will disappear from all the local stores or keep its price, I would buy 64 g in the Internet |
| 06:34.33 | itsnotabigtruck | i'd like to use my N9 as my new mp3 player, but there's not much space after os + maps + apps for gigs and gigs of music |
| 06:34.43 | Sazpaimon | itsnotabigtruck, i get all my music through cutetube |
| 06:34.43 | itsnotabigtruck | Necrosporus: keep in mind, if it starts disappearing it becomes more expensive, not less |
| 06:34.47 | itsnotabigtruck | i think the price may have already bottomed out |
| 06:34.57 | Necrosporus | if there will be 64 phones in stores by significally lower price than buy from a local store |
| 06:35.05 | Sazpaimon | ebay has a nice trends chart for the N9 |
| 06:35.06 | itsnotabigtruck | e.g. look at N900 prices right now |
| 06:35.09 | itsnotabigtruck | it's not exactly dirt cheap |
| 06:35.30 | Necrosporus | But not more expensive than it was? |
| 06:35.34 | Sazpaimon | yeah it had a brief stint at like $200 |
| 06:35.37 | Necrosporus | Where is the chart? |
| 06:36.34 | Necrosporus | There's a lot of internet stores, amason, ebay and others... why this one? |
| 06:36.37 | itsnotabigtruck | i think i have milkytracker fixed so it can be admitted into appsformeego |
| 06:37.13 | Necrosporus | itsnotabigtruck, I guess, its easy to find the time when the price should be cheepest |
| 06:37.25 | Necrosporus | It's right before the end of manufacturing |
| 06:37.33 | Necrosporus | Is N9 still manufactured? |
| 06:37.53 | Necrosporus | When it stop, its right time to buy one |

| 07:23.48 | Sazpaimon | you can always buy the housing |
| 07:23.55 | Sazpaimon | theyre like $50 |
| 07:24.18 | itsnotabigtruck | heh |
| 07:24.23 | Sazpaimon | and dismantling an N9 isnt the easiest thing |
| 07:24.33 | Sazpaimon | but its also not brain surgery |
| 07:24.43 | Sazpaimon | since there's only two major parts |
| 07:24.43 | itsnotabigtruck | https://harmattan-bugs.nokia.com/show_bug.cgi?id=978 up to 37 votes, still no activity from nokia's end |
| 07:24.49 | _MeeGoBot_ | Bug 978 maj, High, ---, ext-lavanya.alamuri, ASSI, Platform SDK repository lacks APT signature - incompatible with PR1.2 |
| 07:24.49 | Sazpaimon | and all of the screws are accessable |
| 07:28.44 | Necrosporus | itsnotabigtruck, its not a disadvantage |
| 07:28.48 | Necrosporus | Id like black |
| 07:30.41 | itsnotabigtruck | Necrosporus: but how many other phones come in cyan? none other. |
| 07:30.48 | itsnotabigtruck | (pretend the lumia doesn't exist :p) |
| 07:31.00 | itsnotabigtruck | it's so distinct |

| 07:33.27 | Necrosporus | Lumia is the same, only difference is the OS |
| 07:33.34 | Necrosporus | I wonder if its possible to reflash |
| 07:33.41 | itsnotabigtruck | and the internals, which are different and inferior |
| 07:33.46 | itsnotabigtruck | i doubt it is |
| 07:34.10 | itsnotabigtruck | in fact the lumia 800 was outsourced while the n9 was vertically integrated in-house |
| 07:34.23 | itsnotabigtruck | so while the two phones look the same, they're probably quite incompatible on the inside |
| 07:34.32 | itsnotabigtruck | the lumia 800 is basically a generic winphone in an n9's shell |
| 07:35.01 | Necrosporus | Windows Phone is less functional than my old N73 |
| 07:35.08 | itsnotabigtruck | heh |
| 07:35.17 | itsnotabigtruck | btw milkytracker should be on apps for meego testing soon |
| 07:35.21 | Necrosporus | It can't even copy-paste text between applications |
| 07:35.33 | Necrosporus | While mine N73 can |
| 07:35.33 | denism1 | Necrosporus: as I remember - N9 is OMAP (TI), and Lumia should be Qualcomm. And so on. I am not sure is there even something similar internally. |
| 07:35.43 | Necrosporus | maybe |
| 07:36.05 | Necrosporus | However, do I need 64G? |
| 07:36.17 | Aard | Necrosporus: apart from case and camera chip there are not that many common components between lumia and n9 |
| 07:36.33 | Necrosporus | ok, so it is only looking similarly |
| 07:36.55 | Necrosporus | but anyways, is 16G enough? |
| 07:36.55 | Aard | if you look at the back you see if it's n9 or lumia -- flash leds are placed different |
| 07:37.27 | Necrosporus | you can also take a look of front, lumia has windows button |
| 07:37.29 | Aard | depends on what you want to do. my wife is happy with her 16gb n9, I'm happy with my 64gb n9 (I tend to carry lot's of movies to watch when travelling) |
| 07:37.41 | itsnotabigtruck | Necrosporus: if music: 64gb, otherwise: 16gb |
| 07:37.51 | Aard | yes, but windows button is dictated by microsoft, the flash placement not |
| 07:38.02 | itsnotabigtruck | you're not going to be able to fill up the other 48 gigs with anything besides music and video |
| 07:38.11 | Necrosporus | Why does not it support external memory? |
| 07:38.20 | Necrosporus | itsnotabigtruck, another OSes and apps? |
| 07:38.38 | Necrosporus | I guess, I'd like to try android 4 |
| 07:38.39 | Aard | Necrosporus: apps space is separated from user data |
| 07:38.41 | itsnotabigtruck | form over function, i guess. though swappable memory cards do add a lot of complication to the OS |
| 07:38.47 | itsnotabigtruck | also, microsd cards tend to be slow |
| 07:38.53 | itsnotabigtruck | and can cause all kinds of problems |
| 07:39.01 | Necrosporus | Aard, is it possible to make a backup of entire flash from a computer? |
| 07:39.06 | itsnotabigtruck | no microsd = fewer x-factors to screw things up |
| 07:39.34 | Necrosporus | MicroSD let you have one having the OS for example |
| 07:39.50 | Sazpaimon | [02:33] <Necrosporus> Lumia is the same, only difference is the OS |
| 07:39.54 | Necrosporus | So you can have two OSes installed without screwing up internal memory |
| 07:39.58 | Sazpaimon | the flash is on the right of the camera |
| 07:40.02 | Sazpaimon | instead of above it |
| 07:40.07 | Necrosporus | ok, ok |
| 07:40.10 | Aard | Necrosporus: the part for your data is vfat which can be mounted on your computer. the other stuff is not exported, though you could throw a tar fo the application data into your user data |
| 07:40.11 | Necrosporus | I didnt notice |
| 07:40.25 | Sazpaimon | i still am convinced that that was because they didnt want people using lumia parts on an N9 |
| 07:40.59 | Necrosporus | Aard, that's bad? Can I format my userdata into ext3? |
| 07:41.04 | Necrosporus | Or ext2 |
| 07:41.13 | Necrosporus | or better ext4 without journal |
| 07:41.43 | Necrosporus | I know this scheme, its used by my android device |
| 07:41.57 | Necrosporus | But I do not like it as vfat is not native file system |
| 07:42.49 | Sazpaimon | [02:41] <Necrosporus> or better ext4 without journal |
| 07:42.55 | Necrosporus | It doesnt support file permissions |
| 07:42.56 | Sazpaimon | i dont think you can format ext4 without a journal |
| 07:43.00 | Aard | Necrosporus: no idea, never tried. theoretically it should be possible, but I guess the mount scripts are checksummed by aegis, so most likely it'll only work on an open mode kernel, and your device will go into malf if you turn on aegis again |
| 07:43.39 | Necrosporus | Sazpaimon, you can, actually, man mke2fs or man tune2fs in order to disable journal on existing filesyste |
| 07:43.49 | Necrosporus | -O ^has_journal |
| 07:43.55 | Necrosporus | If I remember it right |
| 07:44.27 | Sazpaimon | i know if you do that on ext3 it essentially turns it into ext2 |
| 07:44.36 | Sazpaimon | might not be the same with ext4 though |
| 07:44.39 | Aard | it works on ext3, and gives you more or less ext2. not sure if it still works with ext4 |
| 07:44.52 | Necrosporus | Aard, but if the kernel source is available, it should be possible to boot with open kernel, fix scripts and also fix its checksums in aegis database |
| 07:45.03 | Aard | migration from ext4 to ext3 is iirc not supported, so I'd say it won't be possible |
| 07:45.23 | Necrosporus | Aard, it works with ext4, but it doesn't turn into another filesystem |
| 07:46.09 | Necrosporus | Because ext4 is not based on ext2 or ext3, its not backward compatible |
| 07:47.17 | Necrosporus | Its possible to disable journal on ext4, but after that if will remain ext4, just without journal, but will all the new functions |

| 07:51.39 | itsnotabigtruck | Necrosporus: of course it's based on ext3 |
| 07:51.44 | itsnotabigtruck | it's just not backward compatible |
| 07:51.47 | itsnotabigtruck | well, it's not reversible |
| 07:52.09 | itsnotabigtruck | once you start modifying an ext3 part with ext4, it becomes ext4 and you can't go back |
| 07:52.38 | itsnotabigtruck | the point is, it's called ext4 because it's an increment to ext3, not something completely new |
| 07:53.10 | itsnotabigtruck | in fact you can run an ext3 partition using the ext4 driver if you turn off certain features that break backwards compat |
| 07:54.41 | Necrosporus | ok, ok, but anyways, why does nokia use vfat, if there's a lot superior filesystems? |
| 07:55.02 | itsnotabigtruck | Necrosporus: because it's the only filesystem with proper support on both linux and windows |
| 07:55.12 | Aard | Necrosporus: because most of the people want to plug it into their windows or os x boxes? |
| 07:55.14 | itsnotabigtruck | the vfat is used for the partition that gets mounted as a mass storage device |
| 07:55.55 | itsnotabigtruck | it's possible to convert the vfat to ext4 if you want, though iirc it's a little complicated |
| 07:56.22 | Necrosporus | Than its possible to ship windows driver on included CD |
| 07:56.44 | itsnotabigtruck | there isn't a high quality ext2/3 driver for windows, and there isn't any ext4 driver period |
| 07:56.46 | Necrosporus | there's some ext4 driver for windows |
| 07:56.50 | itsnotabigtruck | that's not an acceptable solution |
| 07:56.52 | itsnotabigtruck | that's a hack job |
| 07:57.22 | itsnotabigtruck | actually apparently ext4 support is starting to get there |
| 07:57.52 | Aard | there was quite a good ext2/3 driver several years ago, not sure if it works with vista/7, though. but still, it's messy. most people just want to plug that phone in at home, at friends, etc, and copy data, without starting to mess around with drivers |
| 07:57.52 | itsnotabigtruck | point is, the whole point of even having a mass storage device is plug and play on every platform there is |
| 07:57.53 | Necrosporus | If people like to plug their phone into a computer, they can install GNU/Linux instead of windows and use it freely and with more functions and possibilities |
| 07:58.03 | itsnotabigtruck | now that's just idiotic |
| 07:58.09 | Aard | now you're starting to troll |
| 07:58.47 | Necrosporus | Even though if sound like trolling, its actually true |
| 07:58.56 | Necrosporus | I use GNU/Linux and have no problems |
| 07:59.01 | itsnotabigtruck | linux is good and all, but there isn't much more obnoxious than a "Free Software" ideologue |
| 07:59.25 | itsnotabigtruck | you should listen to yourself, eesh |
| 08:00.17 | Necrosporus | I guess, the choice of filesystem for the internal storage should be offered by the first start |
| 08:01.13 | Aard | even features more than 3 people want to have didn't make it in, so, continue dreaming ;) |
| 08:03.26 | Necrosporus | Free Software ideologue is only reason to chose N9 over other devices |
| 08:03.37 | Aard | no |
| 08:03.52 | Aard | my wife choose it because she likes the handling |
| 08:04.16 | Necrosporus | For me, yes, because Galaxy S II seem having better hardware and OS which support more applications |
| 08:04.45 | Necrosporus | But N9 should support usual linux apps, I guess |
| 08:04.52 | Necrosporus | So its more preferable |
| 08:04.56 | itsnotabigtruck | i chose it because a) aesthetics, b) hipster factor, c) easy portability of linux apps, d) smaller community = more room to explore |
| 08:05.05 | itsnotabigtruck | as opposed to android where everything's been done already |
| 08:05.21 | RST38h | yawns and suggests the free software ideologue to choose ricin |
| 08:05.38 | itsnotabigtruck | the current crop of android phones is extremely unsatisfying imo - too generic, too bulky, too little battery life |
| 08:05.58 | Aard | I'm not buying my phone to compete in benchmarks (though it seems some people are starting to do it) -- n9 hardware is not newest, but for all I'm doing more than sufficient. and I prefer the ui over android |
| 08:08.12 | itsnotabigtruck | for example, i've needed some esoteric utilities on my N9 every once in a while |
| 08:08.24 | itsnotabigtruck | i can download the source code from debian and build it with 2 commands |
| 08:09.02 | itsnotabigtruck | no other mobile os lets you do that |
| 08:09.10 | Aard | I'm still hoping for someone to package latex ;) one of the last few things I can currently only do on my n900 |
| 08:09.33 | itsnotabigtruck | Aard: are you sure it hasn't been already? i think tex is in the sdk repo |
| 08:09.43 | itsnotabigtruck | no idea if it works on the n9 but it works in scratchbox, i think |
| 08:10.10 | itsnotabigtruck | a bunch of packages have buildeps on tex to make documentation files |
| 08:10.28 | Aard | need to check, though I first need to get scratchbox running again -- on this box it's still using nokia internal repos |
| 08:11.42 | itsnotabigtruck | speaking of that - a (public) sdk repo synced to pr1.2 is desperately needed |
| 08:12.13 | itsnotabigtruck | i just spent a few hours earlier getting a package to build in OBS against outdated -dev packages, because nokia isn't updating the stale beta3 sdk |
| 08:12.27 | itsnotabigtruck | and it's an ugly ugly mess now |

| 08:19.01 | itsnotabigtruck | ahhh, ok |
| 08:19.43 | itsnotabigtruck | it's just frustrating, every once in a while one of the nokia/etc. people mentions "oh yeah, gotta update my PR1.2 scratchbox" or whatnot |
| 08:20.01 | Aard | :) |
| 08:20.26 | itsnotabigtruck | but they stopped updating the public sdk at all, because in theory no one is supposed to code for anything >= pr1.0, because ovi store policy says so, right? |
| 08:20.42 | itsnotabigtruck | but not everything is aimed at the ovi store, and not everything is in pr1.0 sdk packages |
| 08:20.59 | itsnotabigtruck | and it really shouldn't require extraordinary measures to simply build against things that are in the core firmware |
| 08:23.15 | Aard | wtf. samsung android phone requires sim card to check for software updates?! |
| 08:26.14 | itsnotabigtruck | they're probably filtering updates by your carrier |

| 09:51.23 | Tronic | It is just worse with a tiny led flash. |
| 09:54.21 | Chaz6 | I wonder if there are any flash units that can be triggered using bluetooth |
| 09:55.40 | pa | Tronic, in theory the phone knows the distance, as it has auto focus |
| 09:56.02 | pa | and i have never seen such severe problem in other phone, or even better, real cameras |
| 09:56.44 | Necrosporus | Is there jabber clients for N9? |
| 09:57.21 | pa | besides, in every web review the pays a point to N9 for having "double" led flash, but it seems to me it's weaker than many other phones single led flash |
| 09:57.31 | pa | e.g., galaxy s2 flash |
| 09:58.43 | Tronic | Chaz6: There is probably too much delay with BT. |
| 10:01.01 | Tronic | pa: The number of LEDs is always irrelevant but marketing people like stating such things. I've seen plenty of 9-led, 15-led or even 35-led flashlights that are far worse then my single-led torch (rated 1100 lm). |
| 10:05.14 | pa | well anyway let+s hope some nokia people is so kind hearted that will fix it |
| 10:05.33 | Chaz6 | I want pr1.2 already |
| 10:05.50 | pa | and i really really hope in a manual focus feature one day |
| 10:06.10 | pa | it+s just annoying when you are trying to move around something, that the camera refocus all the time |

| 10:13.38 | Tronic | pa: Usually removing the audio file from filesystem works for removing any unwanted system sounds. |
| 10:13.59 | pa | it keeps snoozing |
| 10:14.00 | Tronic | Haven't tried on N9, though. |
| 10:17.21 | rcg | pa: try to simply put all your volume controls on silent, i.e., the ring volume _and_ the other volume |
| 10:17.29 | rcg | this should silent the camera click |
| 10:18.03 | rcg | actually, i dunno which of these controls does the trick i just noticed that i didn't here the camera sound in that config |
| 10:18.53 | pa | but maybe nokia could put an option to silent it |
| 10:19.51 | rcg | *hear |
| 10:20.09 | Tronic | I some countries the law requires that shutter sound and I don't think that Nokia is going to make exceptions for those countries where it isn't required. |
| 10:20.26 | Tronic | *In |
| 10:21.04 | rcg | as said.. all volume controls to silent -> no shutter sound |
| 10:21.08 | Tronic | That's the reason why it is impossible to disable the sound on most devices and why firmware upgrades may make it so even if originally it was possible to disable it. |
| 10:22.02 | rcg | actually the shutter sound is controlled by the ring tone volume setting here |
| 10:22.17 | rcg | settting the ring tone volume to silent also silents the camera shutter |

| 15:12.18 | itsnotabigtruck | jaywink: heh |
| 15:12.33 | itsnotabigtruck | i think it has video calling for XMPP jingle |
| 15:13.25 | itsnotabigtruck | not sure if they're doing 3G video calling also, though i never found that very interesting because it was never deployed in the us |
| 15:13.38 | itsnotabigtruck | apparently it comes with super expensive per minute rates where it is deployed, too |
| 15:14.09 | jaywink | yeah a bit useless since most people have data plans :P |
| 15:17.10 | nid0 | not true in the uk at least, video calling on most networks here is included in any bundled minutes and charged the same as a voice call otherwise |
| 15:17.22 | itsnotabigtruck | hm, ok |
| 15:18.31 | itsnotabigtruck | not sure why the carriers here never deployed it...they've launched various "official" video calling schemes (all proprietary and inferior) but completely skipped over the standard UMTS video calling |
| 15:18.46 | itsnotabigtruck | the future could have been now! :p |
| 15:20.21 | itsnotabigtruck | btw pa: get calendarrr! http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=82444 |
| 15:21.05 | nid0 | I used to make video calls all the time as far back as 2006 on my sony ericsson w850i |
| 15:21.53 | itsnotabigtruck | and nid0: you too :p |
| 15:22.03 | itsnotabigtruck | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xx4BsBr2fU |
| 15:22.56 | nid0 | i'd need to spend the time bothering to figure out how to properly remove dynamic calendar icon first |
| 15:23.03 | itsnotabigtruck | lol |
| 15:23.14 | itsnotabigtruck | just uninstall it from the app manager and reboot |
| 15:23.19 | nid0 | uninstalled it a while ago pending the functionality coming in 1.2 |
| 15:23.22 | itsnotabigtruck | alternatively you can skip the reboot and just kill its script |
| 15:23.24 | nid0 | but my calendar still updates |
| 15:23.58 | itsnotabigtruck | the problem is that it doesn't ship with postinst/prerm scripts |
| 15:24.13 | itsnotabigtruck | actually i think it has postinst, just not prerm |
| 15:24.15 | nid0 | I havent really bothered looking into it, but i've deffo rebooted the phone since removing it - what script's it run that needs removing? |
| 15:24.33 | itsnotabigtruck | calenderr.sh i think |
| 15:24.46 | itsnotabigtruck | [sic] |
| 15:25.12 | nid0 | ah, got it |
| 15:25.54 | itsnotabigtruck | that's strange that it was still running though |
| 15:25.56 | itsnotabigtruck | hmmmm |
| 15:26.22 | itsnotabigtruck | upstart jobs normally get marked as conffiles, which means it may have left the upstart job in place |
| 15:27.44 | itsnotabigtruck | do dpkg --purge calendaricon calender-hack |
| 15:33.17 | itsnotabigtruck | hmm, apparently at&t wireless used to have video calling before all the mergers (that's way back) |
| 15:38.23 | itsnotabigtruck | and yeah, the N9 shutter sound can be muted |
| 15:39.01 | itsnotabigtruck | i'm not sure if it's actually law to make the shutter sound anywhere, though i think a few asian countries (namely japan) were pressuring phone companies to implement it anyway |
| 15:40.05 | itsnotabigtruck | ok, apparently it is a regulation in japan |
| 15:45.16 | pa | itsnotabigtruck, but why wouldnt nokia add video calling to skype? the others all have it |
| 15:46.23 | pa | btw thanks for the link.. it's a good example for changing icons :) |
| 15:47.15 | itsnotabigtruck | pa: because skype is all proprietary |
| 15:47.28 | itsnotabigtruck | they probably can't add it without skype doing so |
| 15:47.33 | itsnotabigtruck | and who knows what's going on with that |
| 15:47.43 | pa | well but they are now even best friends with M$ |
| 15:47.45 | itsnotabigtruck | besides, which to something that isn't skype :p ok, not that practical in reality |
| 15:47.48 | itsnotabigtruck | *switch |
| 15:48.02 | itsnotabigtruck | but it's something to think about |
| 15:48.04 | pa | why wouldnt skype agree |
| 15:48.12 | pa | anyway |
| 15:48.20 | itsnotabigtruck | seems like the features people go on and on and on about are the least important ones |
| 15:48.43 | pa | it seems skype doesnt listen too much to the users |
| 15:48.49 | pa | even for the emoticons |
| 15:49.02 | pa | there are still those ugly new ones, while thousands of people complained |
| 15:49.17 | pa | and i still keep an old skype, to get rid of those ugly new smileys |
| 15:49.52 | pa | bloody skype |
| 15:51.06 | itsnotabigtruck | keep in mind, the lengths that skype goes to in order to keep anyone else from knowing much of anything about how its system works, make it quite suspicious |
| 15:51.41 | itsnotabigtruck | the other proprietary im networks are still fairly well documented and e.g. it's not like MS takes great lengths to keep anyone else from connecting to MSN Messenger |
| 15:51.51 | itsnotabigtruck | but skype, that's a whole 'nother story |
| 15:52.17 | pa | btw, does anyone here use vesku maps? |
| 15:52.30 | pa | or is there another google map client that works better? |
| 15:55.51 | pa | and is there something like wififofum for meego? |

| 16:14.39 | pa | :) |
| 16:29.50 | itsnotabigtruck | yeah, screen protectors don't really seem like a great idea |
| 16:30.08 | itsnotabigtruck | but a case that covers the screen is |
| 16:30.21 | pa | why so? |
| 16:30.25 | itsnotabigtruck | problem is i can't decide on one and i'm hoping for someone who's actually used some of them to weigh in |
| 16:30.27 | pa | why would you cover the screen with a case? |
| 16:30.43 | itsnotabigtruck | except no one seems to be using any except the one that comes with the phone |
| 16:30.48 | itsnotabigtruck | to keep dust out |
| 16:30.53 | pa | ah |
| 16:30.56 | itsnotabigtruck | screen protectors do absolutely nothing about dust, and they ruin the experience |

| 16:31.09 | itsnotabigtruck | you have some mushy plastic that's impossible to apply correctly sitting on top of the awesome glass layer |
| 16:31.34 | pa | good point |
| 16:31.50 | pa | what about these plugs to prevent dust getting in the audio jack or micro usb? |
| 16:32.35 | itsnotabigtruck | haven't really looked into that |
| 16:47.56 | pa | hmm maybe a neoprene case |
| 16:47.59 | pa | it's washable |
| 16:48.02 | pa | :) |
| 16:54.52 | itsnotabigtruck | pa: isn't that close to what comes with the n9? |
| 16:55.04 | itsnotabigtruck | nm, on second thought, no |
| 16:55.12 | pa | its like a sleeve |
| 16:56.30 | itsnotabigtruck | i'm tempted to buy one of the OEM cases, either cp-553 or cp-556 |
| 16:56.38 | pa | just ordered a green one, maybe i dont need plugs for dust and screen protectors |
| 16:56.42 | itsnotabigtruck | but the 553 is apparently way too tight for the N9, even though it's made specifically for it |
| 16:57.01 | itsnotabigtruck | no idea about the 556 |
| 16:57.07 | pa | ah you want nokia cases |
| 16:57.15 | itsnotabigtruck | i'm afraid the 556 might be difficult to get the n9 in and out of |
| 16:57.24 | itsnotabigtruck | also both of those are more expensive than they should be to buy in the US |
| 16:57.31 | itsnotabigtruck | not necessarily...i just want a half-decent case |
| 16:57.45 | pa | i just ordered this one: |
| 16:57.49 | itsnotabigtruck | there's also the noreve case and the nokia 571, which have similar designs |
| 16:58.04 | itsnotabigtruck | but they look like the n9 could fall out of them, and it looks like the phone would be difficult to access |
| 16:58.14 | pa | http://images.esellerpro.com/2108/I/933/86/TPS_121-028-013_N9_a.jpg |
| 16:58.34 | itsnotabigtruck | hm, not bad, just not really what i'm looking for |
| 16:58.36 | pa | which seems tight enough to prevent dust |
| 16:58.50 | pa | while still stretchy, since it's neoprene |
| 16:59.30 | pa | 5 pounds.. i thought i can just try and see |
| 16:59.59 | itsnotabigtruck | also argh, i hate "review" sites like this http://www.hi-techhq.com/2011/12/noreve-nokia-n9-tradition-leather-case-review/ |
| 17:00.22 | itsnotabigtruck | that basically exist to get somebody free gear in exchange for pimping it out on the review site |
| 17:00.44 | pa | that one doesnt look too much dust protecting |
| 17:01.13 | itsnotabigtruck | well, when closed it completely covers the screen |
| 17:01.20 | pa | screen yes |
| 17:01.40 | itsnotabigtruck | seems pretty dust protecting, the problem is that you have to open it to access the phone, and when opened there's nothing but a couple tabs holding it in place |
| 17:01.53 | pa | audio jack no, speaker not too much |
| 17:02.05 | itsnotabigtruck | also the flap opens down, which seems inconvenient |
| 17:02.25 | itsnotabigtruck | so you're talking on the phone and you have this gigantic flap hanging down from the phone, heh |
| 17:02.34 | pa | heh :) |
| 17:02.56 | itsnotabigtruck | and i'm not worried that much about dust in the audio jack or whatnot, it's just that the screen is a dust collector |
| 17:03.28 | pa | they say screen protector are dust-repelling |
| 17:04.08 | itsnotabigtruck | yeah, but i'm already ruling those out :p |
| 17:04.18 | itsnotabigtruck | i had an awesome proporta sleeve for my e71, but that model doesn't fit the n9 very well |
| 17:05.16 | itsnotabigtruck | but it worked great, protected the e71 while it was in my pocket, could easily take it out and use it |
| 17:05.35 | itsnotabigtruck | i'm a bit more worried about the N9 though, it's a lot more fragile than the e71 |
| 17:05.48 | pa | heh i guess |
| 17:05.59 | itsnotabigtruck | the e71 survived all sorts of abuse that the n9 certainly wouldn't |
| 17:06.32 | pa | :) |
| 17:06.35 | leinir | i /think/ you might be underestimating the N9 a bit... :) |
| 17:06.53 | pa | i got it on the floor once, already |
| 17:06.59 | pa | it survived so far |
| 17:07.23 | pa | without the shell, yet |
| 17:07.32 | itsnotabigtruck | leinir: the glass screen can be broken very easily and is expensive to replace, the plastic body is easily scuffed, etc. |
| 17:07.34 | leinir | i dropped it on the pavement when i tried to take a photo of the first frost before yule... survived that one just gone too :) |
| 17:07.41 | pa | actually while trying to put it in the shell :p |
| 17:07.43 | itsnotabigtruck | i already bent my USB door, though it was able to be bent back |
