17:06.41rzrthx for notifying about the upgrade + inception
17:11.05DocScrutinizerwell, I told you it will happen like that when you came up with your inception idea. IT's been absolutely clear and expected, so notifying about the particular moment the game advanced one step is all I can detect
17:12.19itsnotabigtruckDocScrutinizer: to use one of your favorite phrases, MEH

17:13.09itsnotabigtrucki made the mistake of assuming that everything was going to arrive en bloc, that's all
17:13.17itsnotabigtruckwhich in retrospect was somewhat stupid because they did the same thing last time
17:14.00DocScrutinizerNokia wil ship an "update" for every inception version you publish
17:14.44itsnotabigtruckif so, then maybe that'll keep some harmattan devs employed for a bit longer :p

17:17.23rzrnow we found a solution to keep the project alive :-)
17:17.35DocScrutinizernot really
17:18.48DocScrutinizerNokia already investing manpower into platsec/paegis which better oughta be used for progress in other more useful sectors of HARM
17:19.34ZogG_laptopDocScrutinizer: they should be investing in update and support, but not that
17:19.46DocScrutinizerand for all I can see even in this channel a lot of smart FOSS devels are investing lots of time in fighting paegis instead of improving the core functionality of their apps
17:20.16DocScrutinizernot that they had any choice
17:20.23DocScrutinizerpaegis offers no choice
17:26.23jonniyou just have to figure out how to get pgp key as trusted and make nice tool for signing the packages (and own custom repo as com.nokia.maemo trusted) and hopefully using some feature that cannot be patched :)

17:28.40DocScrutinizeractually I'd think the only thing that can't get patched is ROM-BootLoader
17:29.31DocScrutinizeror cracking original Nokia rootcert PKI
17:30.05DocScrutinizerwhich *could* get 'patched' but only by replacing *all* binaries/packages
17:31.08itsnotabigtruckDocScrutinizer: evidently you have no idea how the signing scheme works
17:31.19DocScrutinizermhm
17:31.32itsnotabigtruckyou'd be a lot more credible if you knew what you were whinging about
17:32.20DocScrutinizeryou'd be not considered an asshole by so many credible users of this chan if you were a bit less arrogant and offensive

18:16.37pais pyside still supported/developed as far as you know?
18:16.53pamailing list last message is feb 2012
18:19.48lizardopa: original developers are still working on it , but mostly on free time :/ Nokia funding ceased as mentioned on the mailing list

18:21.38paah i see.. but if so, shouldnt it be officially developed?
18:22.20lizardopa: it is more a community effort now, i.e. no current funding from Nokia (AFAIK)
18:23.00paanyway, i was mostly concerned about the assistant, that packages in a way that is incompatible with the store
18:23.12pa(e.g., putting stuff in /usr/bin/)
18:23.39pabut now that i think about it, maybe that's python too

19:32.02jktitsnotabigtruck: is that some rooting tool? why should I need it over the built-in developer mode?
19:32.18itsnotabigtruckjkt: looks pretty nice for alpha software :)
19:32.43itsnotabigtruckthat 2nd area definitely needs to be harmattanized a bit but i'm sure that'll come with time
19:32.59itsnotabigtruckyeah, it's a rooting tool
19:33.07itsnotabigtruckdeveloper mode gives you a small subset of the permissions available
19:33.12itsnotabigtruckinception gives you any and all permissions
19:33.24itsnotabigtruckthere's a lot of things you can't do with dev mode
19:33.30jktyeah, well
19:33.34jktenough for me :)

19:46.49ZogG_laptopjkt: if you are the one who gonna develop/maintain it - make the new one i think
19:47.02lizardoitsnotabigtruck: it migrated to a Qt Add-on , because the original project was ceased (given it was mostly oriented to Harmattan...), so it is no community driven

20:01.52GeneralAntillesitsnotabigtruck, do you have a maemo.org account? (mwkn.net)
20:05.49RST38hhttp://www.theregister.co.uk/2012/04/16/moodys_downgrade_nokia_junk/
20:10.28DocScrutinizerZogG_laptop: I see you stating a lot of nonsense, but most of it is obscure how you came to this notion. I may be wrong, but I don't see too much reasonable posts or other contributions you did. Maybe I missed the point you're actually just trolling
20:11.29ZogG_laptopDocScrutinizer: there are not much i've done, but my point was that you little bit negative time to time
20:12.37DocScrutinizersorry I don't satisfy your expectations of positive entertainment
20:12.47DocScrutinizerbut that's for sure mutual
20:13.03RST38hSo, anyone willing to bet on Elop's head-on-a-stick by Christmas time?
20:13.10DocScrutinizerfixes the glitch that sneaked into his /ignore list
20:13.41RST38hOr will they keep him until February, to give the whole affair a sense of circularity?
20:17.31ZogG_laptopRST38h: let's bet that next move even after Elop would be stupid as well. like swithching to android or something =)
20:17.56RST38hI can easily guess what the next move is
20:18.09RST38hit won't be rather inconsequentlial though
20:18.17RST38hElop is preparing a Win8 tablet.
20:19.09RST38hAnd WP7 is all but abandoned by MS, as they are promising full-scale Win8 on ARM devices by Christmas. As far as teams inside MS are concerned, WP7 is most likely ancient history.
20:20.02RST38hOf course there is a small matter of Nokia relying on WP7 to survive, but this doesnot concern MS employees: Nokia is not paying their bonuses

20:20.46ZogG_laptoplol
20:21.28ZogG_laptopRST38h: but what do you think would be phones strategy? as i assume win8 is more for tablets
20:21.58ZogG_laptopMeaTizen - it's Tizen + meego + maemo =)
20:22.10RST38hthere is no phone strategy
20:22.25RST38hthere is low cost S40 quickly reaching S60 functionality
20:22.43RST38hThere is Symbian (whatever it is called now) which continues selling Nokia smartphones
20:23.03RST38hAnd then there is braindead Lumias that Nokia is failing to sell to customers
20:23.21*** join/#harmattan lfranchi (~quassel@amarok/developer/lfranchi)
20:23.29RST38hSo they are trying two approaches to making their ends meet: 1) subscribe businesses, giving them lumias in bulk
20:23.53ZogG_laptopi hoped for harmattan getting back, but i know would never happen or would happen as harmattan step 5 and no support for n9, every one buys new N10 and than Nokia ditching it in 2 months after release
20:23.53RST38hand 2) push lumias with new cell contracts, almost for free
20:24.03tehdelyfrom what i've heard, you'll be able to upgrade newer WP7.5 handsets to WP8
20:24.08tehdelybut don't quote me on it
20:24.18RST38hAgain, this saves certain managers inside Nokia, letting them say that they "moved so-many Lumias last moth"
20:24.29RST38hbut it does not bring company any money
20:25.05ZogG_laptopRST38h: read twit, so guy in Russia heard sellers advising not to buy Lumia coz of high returns =)
20:25.29ZogG_laptopRST38h: i don't like Lumia, but would take even 10 if it's for free =)
20:26.31RST38hZogG: I have one
20:26.36RST38hZogG: You wouldn't.
20:27.25ZogG_laptopRST38h: than send me yours
20:29.20itsnotabigtruckGeneralAntilles: hm?
20:29.21Arkenoigot ridiculous comment from android user today: "wow, what is the OS on your phone? it is has *so* fast UI!"
20:29.25itsnotabigtrucki signed up for one a while back
20:29.43itsnotabigtrucknot sure if i have any kermaz yet from the forum
20:29.57itsnotabigtruckoh cool, it transferred, now i have 169 karma
20:30.05Arkenoiit is always nice to know there are people who feel even worse than we do
20:30.23itsnotabigtrucklol Arkenoi
20:30.35itsnotabigtruckbtw tehdely RST38h: new inception ver out (0.1.1)
20:30.52RST38hyohoho thanks
20:30.55itsnotabigtruckwhich is a quick fix for the devmode update that arrived this morning
20:31.13RST38hso should I install devmode update first or the new inception?
20:32.17itsnotabigtruckRST38h: either works
20:32.26itsnotabigtruckthe devmode update prevents enabling inception
20:32.37itsnotabigtruckif you already did that inception will keep working
20:32.53RST38hah ok
20:32.58itsnotabigtruck(enabling = running pasiv)
20:33.06Arkenoiah ok
20:33.12itsnotabigtruckalso the way the update does that is by taking away your ability to chroot
20:33.17Arkenoiso it is good i already have inception done
20:33.19itsnotabigtruckso keep that in mind
20:33.30itsnotabigtruckof course with inception available that's not so much of a problem
20:33.43itsnotabigtruckbut it's a shame nokia's created collateral damage with this
20:34.52Arkenoiso this update had the sole purpose to prevent inception, and failed anyways? sh*t. i wish nokia invested that resources in doing something *useful* for us, say, fixing tracker process

20:36.41itsnotabigtruckheh
20:36.56itsnotabigtruckwell, the update is part of PR1.3, in the past they've released updates to the ancillary stuff shortly before the actual OS
20:37.12itsnotabigtruckPR1.3 includes a number of fixes, not just inception stuff
20:37.31itsnotabigtruckbut it definitely has some anti-inception tweaks
20:38.02mankelii wonder if anything else is affected by this recent change
20:39.27Arkenoii wonder if we ever get tracker-store fixed
20:39.37Arkenoithe bug is still open
20:39.47itsnotabigtruckis the buggy tracker code open source?
20:39.48itsnotabigtrucktracker itself is
20:39.58itsnotabigtruckmight be able to fix it and put it into a CSSU-type thing

20:49.02Arkenoiuntil it is fixed there is no chance for me to have a sane address book
20:49.18ZogG_laptopis it only me or there is that annoying email downloads/sync bug and stuck internet connection bug in PR1.2 . coz sometimes i get timeouts - i close all apps but i can see connection is used for a while
20:51.08GeneralAntillesitsnotabigtruck, are you registered on maemo.org? We use maemo.org usernames on mwkn.net to generate links to their userpages.
20:52.45ZogG_laptopGeneralAntilles: btw any plans on redesinging site?
20:53.08ZogG_laptopoh, btw do you have option to submit news over web?
20:53.40Arkenoii think it could be wise to withhold inception update for a while, warn users not to install developer mode update, wait for pr1.3 to be sure there are no other surprises and then issue inception update.. otherwise there is a chance we would need another hack after 1.3 :-)
20:53.44itsnotabigtruckGeneralAntilles: yeah, it's, unsurprisingly, itsnotabigtruck
20:54.03itsnotabigtruckArkenoi: i already released 0.1.1
20:54.12itsnotabigtruckalso, 0.1.1 specifically uses an exploit that's definitely already fixed
20:54.31itsnotabigtruckthat's the entire point, it's a stopgap between now and the real update to inception (which is coming out later)
20:54.50jonniArkenoi: internal bugzilla says fixed on contacts merge, so might be that nobody just bothers to update public statuses.
20:55.22Arkenoijonni, it was said to be fixed in 1.2, but actually it was not so i reopened it :-(
20:55.55jonnithen you can only hope that 1.3 merges contacts right
20:56.27ZogG_laptopArkenoi: you can pray =)
20:56.36ZogG_laptopand maybe your prays would be heard
20:56.50itsnotabigtruckwhat's the relevant package?

21:23.43ZogG_laptopthnks
21:24.27gabriel9will N9 upgrade to QT5 ?
21:24.46ZogG_laptopgabriel9: there is repo but officially not likely
21:25.17ZogG_laptopunleast nokia would decide to make other qt5 phone and use n9 as test platform(logicaly)
21:25.18gabriel9that nokia don't know what they have: QT and GNU/Linux kernel

21:54.03rzrbipt, yes i manage a repo of all opensource software
21:54.15rzrbipt, there are many other repos too
21:56.43biptrzr, how about the kernel, drivers, etc.? for example, would it be theoretically possible to do a community edition without non-free nokia apps?
21:57.06rzryes you're looking for nemo mobile
21:57.09bipti've read a bit about alternative OSes (nemo mobile, nitdroid) but it's not entirely clear to me what their status is
21:57.24rzrnitdroid is in early stage
21:57.32rzrbut it ships the unfree gapps
22:03.02itsnotabigtrucki'll never understand "Free Software" fanaticism
22:03.18itsnotabigtruckthe ability to customize the system is nice, and unfortunately many of the packages one would want to customize are closed source
22:03.45itsnotabigtruckbut not that many people actually appear to care about that, they only want open source on philosophical grounds
22:04.04javispedrosuddenly grows a stallman beard
22:04.10itsnotabigtruckanyway, bipt: in general, core system stuff is open source, GUI stuff is not
22:04.18GeneralAntillesThere's nothing wrong with either pragmatism or purism per-se.
22:04.20itsnotabigtruckthere's a few core system things that are closed source, like cellular services daemon
22:04.33itsnotabigtruckand there's a few gui things that are open source like the settings app
22:04.41itsnotabigtruckbut that rule mostly holds
22:04.54GeneralAntillesBut if you're not willing to stick to principles then it's unlikely that change will ever come.
22:04.57itsnotabigtruckyou can download an iso image with all the open source packages (in theory) in pr1.2
22:05.22itsnotabigtruckas for repos of open source packages, well, apps for meego sort of aimed for that goal
22:05.22rzritsnotabigtruck> i'll never understand "Free Software" fanaticism
22:05.41itsnotabigtruckunfortunately very few devs are adopting it, even if they release their software as oss
22:05.42rzrwell i think we should care more of that
22:05.49javispedroor change will come, but in the wrong direction (e.g. harmattan being actually more closed than fremantle, if counted by num of packages)
22:06.12itsnotabigtruckpart of the problem seems to be a significant degree of complexity + few people are passionate enough to get through that complexity (which really isn't that bad)
22:06.21itsnotabigtruckwhen ovi store and/or tmo posts are "good enough"
22:06.33itsnotabigtruckalso apps for meego has some severe bugs and usability issues so that isn't helping
22:06.47GeneralAntillesjavispedro, is there a Cool New Version of sowatch available that's more awesome than the one I have from a few months ago?
22:07.00rzrwhat about pr1.3 news ?
22:07.27javispedroGeneralAntilles: nope
22:07.35GeneralAntillesjavispedro, suck!
22:07.58itsnotabigtruckspeaking of that javispedro: what happened to putting sowatch and whatnot in afm
22:08.10javispedroGeneralAntilles: though with the uncool version you can do very cool things, I had hacked some speedometer & odometer
22:08.20itsnotabigtrucki didn't even hear about it until very recently because it was only visible in a forgotten FMC thread
22:08.26itsnotabigtruckthat got bumped the other day
22:08.33*** join/#harmattan aquarius (~aquarius@cpc5-dudl10-2-0-cust29.wolv.cable.virginmedia.com)
22:09.21javispedroas I said on that bump, I think it misses a UI before AFM
22:09.21DocScrutinizeris amazed about javispedro's self control
22:10.04itsnotabigtruckwho says it has to have a UI?
22:10.38javispedrothe shitload of mails I get asking me how to get this to work, turning out they put MY watch's MAC in the config file instead of theirs
22:10.49itsnotabigtruckheh
22:11.13itsnotabigtruckok, fair enough
22:11.25itsnotabigtruckmight be a good idea to post a TMO thread though since FMC is, for all intents and purposes, dead
22:11.27javispedroI had even implemented a IPC protocol based on qtmobility's service fw and a trivial UI
22:11.57javispedrobut it turned out qtmobility servicefw is unusable, as it crashes when you try to pass anything slightly complex, like a QVariantMap
22:12.16javispedrospent like a few weeks trying to debug that because I had not the PR1.2 source for qt-mob..
22:12.56itsnotabigtruckheh
22:13.25javispedroalso, instead of reusing the nice qtdbus wrappers and marshallers, they also just qdatastream << everything and pass a dbus array of bytes, a _sickness_ that is pretty much common to a lot of harmattan components
22:13.42javispedro(but not maliit, I must thank mikhas for that...)
22:14.02javispedro(mostly because I promised him I would do that, but didn't =) )
22:14.04biptitsnotabigtruck, i also want free software for security reasons (avoiding stuff like carrier iq)
22:15.54javispedroGeneralAntilles: as usual, the PR1.3 will now come tomorrow, a day after the release of MWKN =)
22:15.57biptit sounds like meego harmattan is about as free as android (*all* phones require some non-free drivers afaict), so i may get an n9 and put up with the non-free components for the time being
22:16.17DocScrutinizerjavispedro: (sickness) sure, that's exactly the spirit of maemo since ever. Keep in as opaque as possible - *our* receivers _know_ how to deal with this byte dump
22:16.22itsnotabigtruckbipt: well, way more of the android UI is open source
22:16.36itsnotabigtruckandroid phones in practice do often come with a lot more antifeatures than harmattan
22:16.44DocScrutinizerjavispedro: see missing introspection on virtually all maemo stuff
22:16.44rm_workah man, i should probably upgrade out of the beta firmware that shipped on the N950 >_>
22:16.52rm_workstill never even went to PR1.2
22:16.52biptitsnotabigtruck, does nemo mobile not provide alternatives yet?
22:16.54itsnotabigtruckbut harmattan does have some dodgy stuff, liek sending out an SMS when you first boot up with a SIM
22:17.10biptfor core functionality like phone calls, sms, camera
22:17.19itsnotabigtruckand sending your imei and/or imsi to nokia and remembering it together with your nokia account
22:17.31itsnotabigtruckand forcing you to log into a nokia account for certain apps that have no business requiring that
22:17.51itsnotabigtruckafaik nemo isn't a real alternative and never will be
22:17.53rm_workyou can kill the SMS by touching some "cherry" file on the filesystem, no?
22:18.04itsnotabigtruckhowever nitdroid might become one soon, then you're back to android though
22:18.09javispedro?
22:18.20javispedromer is more than an alternative, specially if you consider nitdroid one
22:18.30javispedrobecause nitdroid basically _reuses_ the mer telephony stack
22:18.36rm_workis Mer known as Nemo now?
22:18.37rzrofono
22:18.48itsnotabigtruckafaik mer = core os, nemo = gui stuff for mer
22:18.52itsnotabigtruckboth stem off the meego work
22:18.58rm_workah
22:18.59itsnotabigtruckmer has active development because it's going into that kde spark tablet
22:19.07biptthere is also SHR but they use FSO and haven't ported anything to n9 yet afaict
22:19.11itsnotabigtrucknemo is "let's go continue meego!" and it's not going anywhere and has no apps
22:19.13rm_workis Stskeeps still involved with Mer?
22:19.40javispedroitsnotabigtruck: has the same apps as harmattan
22:19.45javispedrostill none, but hey :)
22:19.50itsnotabigtrucklol
22:20.22itsnotabigtruckthat's the thing though, harmattan has some rather top notch built-in apps
22:20.28faenilitsnotabigtruck, since veskuh stopped working for nemo there has been a drastic decrease in commitment :(
22:20.30itsnotabigtruckclosed source :( but functional
22:20.39itsnotabigtrucknemo requires an impossible amount of work replacing all thaty
22:20.47faenili.e since Nokia stopped supporting nemo
22:21.19DocScrutinizerbipt: (SHR porting to N9) highly unlikely this will ever happen
22:21.20itsnotabigtruckthat's not good...though i wasn't aware nokia was supporting it in the first place, since a lot of the work is basically re-engineering harmattan
22:21.34itsnotabigtruckif they wanted to support nemo why didn't they open source the gui apps they're abandoning with harmattan anyway
22:21.59faenilitsnotabigtruck, afaik there was only veskuh working on it from Nokia
22:22.09faeniland he's not in Nokia anymore
22:22.15DocScrutinizerbipt: and what do you mean by "BUT they use fso..."?
22:22.22faenilsince then, Nemo's chat is 2%
22:22.32itsnotabigtruckwell, that's not good to hear
22:22.41faenilI coded that little simple image viewer for Nemo, don't know if you're tried it
22:22.44itsnotabigtruckas much as i was just talking down nemo, if it did turn into a real alternative that would be awesome
22:22.56faenilbut stopped working on it when I saw the env was quiet
22:23.04faenilyou've*
22:23.08biptDocScrutinizer, i mean i assume that's part of the reason it's nontrivial to port
22:23.15faenilitsnotabigtruck, and I agree
22:23.17rzrdo u have an idea on how many users installed nemo ?
22:23.25faenilnope...
22:24.38GeneralAntillesjavispedro, I blame Jaffa.
22:25.19faenilI really like Nemo because I like the fact that if you don't like an app or you want to add something, you just take the code and modify it
22:25.51faenilthe idea was to replace all apps with qml ones
22:26.08faenilw00t coded a file manager
22:26.33faenilsomeone coded qml calendar, I did that (sort of a) image viewer
22:27.05faenilbut there is a strong need :) anyone who wants to spend some of his time coding those apps? :)

22:29.25rzrbefore the page get scanned the whole book is clouded on google disks
22:30.51faeniljavispedro, qml1 has some limitation, but it's a nice thing...

22:32.21itsnotabigtruckwhat do you mean
22:32.34javispedrofaenil: have you seen the meegotouch control panel "declarative" thing?
22:33.07faeniljavispedro, nope, only used "crossplatform" qml
22:33.20javispedroactually, they call it declarative, but its not qml
22:33.31faenilI see...

22:33.45javispedrohttp://harmattan-dev.nokia.com/docs/platform-api-reference/xml/daily-docs/libduicontrolpanel/declarativeplugins.html
22:34.13javispedrothat is now a true declarative UI language :)
22:34.24javispedrosadly, it is very, very, very constrained and not generic purpose
22:36.11faenilhow is that better than qml?
22:38.37javispedronot saying it is better, because it is not general purpose -- and thus it is unfair to compare
22:39.10javispedrobut some day there shall be a truly declarative language that can actually work like this for more cases
22:39.39faeniljavispedro, but you like it more it seems...
22:40.37javispedroit is extremely portable, little verbose, very easy to learn and to code for, will be natively themed no matter what the platform is, and needs no gigantic ScriptEngine/V8 runtime
22:41.36faenilnot that little verbose :D

22:42.23faenil:)
22:43.28faenilI find qml to be very good, the problem is it still lacks lots of components, and it sometimes behaves in weird ways...

22:53.02javispedroeither I'm getting crazy or it does make a faint noise
22:53.08faenilXD
23:07.03itsnotabigtruckjavispedro: maybe it's power usage related
23:07.19itsnotabigtrucka lot of laptops have dodgy power circuitry that generates noise under load
23:07.54javispedro(or lack of load)
23:08.09javispedrobut that is usually a buzzing, mosquito like sound
