11:27.28 | gabriel9 | it should work in JS |
11:27.47 | djszapi | I do hope you realized it is not the js part :) |

11:28.28 | djszapi | Image { id: myImage; source: ... } |
11:29.14 | gabriel9 | hm you can do something like this source : function() { return "gallows" + gallowsSeriesCounter + ".png"} |
11:29.15 | gabriel9 | :) |
11:29.19 | gabriel9 | i gues |
11:29.29 | Anssi138 | djszapi: isn't it working? |
11:29.42 | djszapi | Anssi138: nah, otherwise I would not ask :) |

11:30.04 | djszapi | gabriel9: yes, of course I can set the source outside, but that is not the intention here. |
11:30.16 | gabriel9 | ok |
11:30.19 | djszapi | it is about a simple binding, but I guess it should work. |
11:30.39 | Anssi138 | unless you have foobared some image paths or something. |
11:30.41 | djszapi | not sure, what I am doing wrong, the console.log thingie shows the incremented stuff. |
11:30.48 | djszapi | Anssi138: huh ? |
11:32.27 | gabriel9 | i must try this: source : (function() { return "gallows" + gallowsSeriesCounter + ".png"})() |
11:32.40 | gabriel9 | djszapi is this working? |
11:33.31 | gabriel9 | i don't have qt here, and i wonder is this also ok |
11:33.54 | djszapi | I tried such hacks earlier, when the binding did not work, but usually the script either. |
11:34.02 | djszapi | the problem was always somewhere else. |
11:34.37 | Anssi138 | actually it's javascript more or less so it should work. |

14:26.20 | lucido | jonni, ovi store app |
14:27.02 | jonni | lucido: ovi store content guideline 1.3.pdf chapter 2.2.8.5: "If application uses the auto-start feature to launch when the device is turned on, the application must include an option to disable/enable the auto-start feature. |
14:27.20 | jonni | lucido: if your app does not provide that functionality then QA should not have passed the app |
14:28.13 | lucido | jonni, I see and I can add that easyly but all the same its by far not trivial for a normal user to remove the app |
14:30.16 | rigo | djszapi, depends on which parts you're working on. AFAIK, it has a complete BSD system (SysV-Unix) and the Apple interface on top of it |

14:39.36 | itsnotabigtruck | gabriel9: i'm positive there's a widget, the question is whether it meets your reqs |
14:40.29 | jonni | lucido: and I bet that you meant to replacec still-word with currently-word? |
14:41.04 | jonni | as I can only find hits with "currently running"... |
14:41.08 | itsnotabigtruck | lucido: so the problem is that package-manager finds a window from your app open and decides not to allow it to be removed? |
14:41.24 | itsnotabigtruck | even though you have a prerm hook that is supposed to kill it? |
14:41.32 | lucido | jonni, "still" is correct |
14:41.49 | itsnotabigtruck | lucido: is that a translation or the original text |
14:41.58 | jonni | ah might be translations... but I found the place in code I think |
14:41.59 | lucido | itsnotabigtruck, original |
14:42.10 | lucido | yes? |
14:42.44 | lucido | the implementation of the daemon is via a qdeclarativeview that is hidden |
14:42.58 | lucido | I know its less than ideal but... |
14:43.11 | itsnotabigtruck | lucido: might be best to fix that instead |
14:43.19 | itsnotabigtruck | daemons shouldn't have windows, period |
14:43.32 | itsnotabigtruck | i think qt provides a message loop system for non-graphical applications |
14:44.00 | lucido | what do you mean by "window"? |
14:47.02 | itsnotabigtruck | lucido: well, it sounds like you're creating a window in X |
14:47.53 | lucido | if there was a window it would show in the task manager screen of the swipe ui |
14:48.14 | itsnotabigtruck | unless it's a hidden window |
14:49.50 | jonni | lucido: I checked a code, there is a check if there is any ui proesses related to package running. If not, it terminates all other non-visible processes releated to package. |
14:50.28 | lucido | jonni, thanks, how is a ui process identified? |
14:50.36 | jonni | lucido: so should work on most of the times, unless your app uses hidden view which is tought to be running ui |
14:51.54 | lucido | jonni, well it has a qdeclaraiveview in hidden state, maybe I should delete the view and recreate it on demand |
14:52.43 | jonni | lucido: its identified by callind /usr/lib/package-manager/exec_checker, in uninstall case it gets -p packagename -t as arguments |
14:52.50 | jonni | calling even |
14:54.30 | lucido | jonni, thank you, now I'll have to revrite the app and write a separate app just for removing the old version lol |
14:54.34 | lucido | good times |
14:54.36 | jonni | if ui is not detected then that -t flag kills all non-ui processes releated to package |
14:56.04 | jonni | but its a feature in pr1.2 which helped uninstall cases on lot of packages, so most likely there is no point of creating a but report, as it will not fall into the critical showstopper category |
14:56.50 | jonni | daemons should be daemons and not hidden qdeclarativeviews (tm).... |

16:15.38 | xmlich02 | hi, i am trying to compile my project with scratchbox, but the MDeclarativeCache file is missing. PKGCONFIG += meegotouch-boostable is not working |

16:27.39 | xmlich02 | i do not use additional pkgconfig stuff |
16:27.50 | phako | then I don't know :) |
16:29.30 | xmlich02 | i removed the qdeclarative-boostable from project file and scratchbox compiles it |

17:25.44 | rigo | strange, harmattan doesn't implement the >> pipe |
17:25.54 | rigo | permission denied |
17:26.25 | rigo | it seems to try to overwrite instead of appending to the file |
17:26.42 | RST38h | can't be |

17:28.57 | rigo | yes, moron, root is not root |
17:30.12 | rigo | yesssss, aegis, we all love you :) |
17:30.27 | rigo | chmod 664 file doesn't change permissions |
17:31.07 | leinir | *nods* You must unlearn what you have learned ;) |
17:31.56 | rigo | and this is the key for my kontact-touch issue. The script runs as some user and can create the file. But then it can't change the file anymore |
17:33.49 | jonni | >> pipes are supported just fine |
17:34.56 | rigo | yes, but the entire permission system has turned into a mess :) |
17:35.23 | itsnotabigtruck | yeah, that would be extraordinarily weird if >> pipes weren't supported, since that's a pretty fundamental kernel/libc/bash/etc thing :p |
17:35.33 | jonni | very simple, if your users you can pipe to user files, if your root you can pipe to root file, root cannot messa user files |
17:35.44 | rigo | solution to issue above: do apt-cache depends kdepim-mobile >>/dependencies.txt as user, not as root |
17:36.50 | jonni | well / dir is owner by root so ofcourse you cannot write there, as you cannot write there in any linux system |
17:37.31 | *** join/#harmattan nid0 (nidO@dsl-fixed-94-30-53-17.interdsl.co.uk) |
17:37.38 | rigo | jonni, nice, but I created the file as root by saying apt-cache depends kmail-mobile >>/home/user/MyDocs/kdepim-mobile-dependencies.txt to actually create the file on the 50G partition |
17:38.14 | rigo | but the file on /home/user/MyDocs was created as a user file |
17:38.47 | rigo | not as a file from root. Despite the fact that it was root who issued the first pipe and created that document |
17:39.05 | rigo | very funny concept. |
17:39.17 | mgedmin | it's a VFAT filesystem |
17:39.26 | mgedmin | it has no place for storing owership information |
17:40.15 | itsnotabigtruck | yeah, everything in MyDocs is always owned by user afaik |
17:40.30 | rigo | oh my, yes, I'm a moron. The only PC software to interact with your linux phone is only running in windows and the filesystem is VFAT *bummer* |
17:40.41 | rigo | :) |
17:40.59 | mgedmin | if you want to support USB mass storage, you gotta use VFAT |
17:41.06 | mgedmin | (or NTFS, I suppose) |
17:42.11 | rigo | ha, good reason! |
17:42.12 | mgedmin | well, if you want to support USB mass storage _that works with Windows machines_ |
17:42.20 | jonni | its mounted as uid=29999 |
17:43.07 | itsnotabigtruck | right, vfat = inferior and works with everything |
17:43.08 | rigo | mgedmin, otherwise you would have to provide a driver CD for Windows with the Software and the EXT/2 driver for Windows |
17:43.23 | itsnotabigtruck | which is a lot better than the alternative of no support (besides that hacky driver) for windows at all |
17:43.35 | rigo | but in the end, just a matter of learning curve |
17:43.52 | itsnotabigtruck | but if you're confident you won't be mounting it on windows, i'm sure there's a way to get it formatted to ext4 |
