uvosWizzup: unload will still be called so you can have it if you want10:16
uvosbut exit is now used to make it easier to pass state from init10:16
uvosjust in case we have a reason to use a module multiple times in the future10:16
Wizzupok10:20
Wizzupfreemangordon: I think I have qt-booster support for maemo-launcher working11:01
Wizzupat least it works with countdowntimer, it was really easy11:01
WizzupI don't know if it's fully 'boosted' or anything, but it works11:01
Wizzuphm, maybe there is more to do11:02
Wizzupright, just had to add ',qt' to the launcher11:04
Wizzupfreemangordon: https://github.com/maemo-leste/maemo-launcher/tree/qt5-booster11:08
Wizzupfreemangordon: no idea if that works properly at all or not, I guess not11:11
freemangordonWizzup: umm, the point is to accelerate (preload) qt, not hildon :)11:29
freemangordonunless I am missing something11:30
Wizzupfreemangordon: what?11:30
freemangordonoh, wait11:31
freemangordonright, it does nothing :)11:32
freemangordonhttps://github.com/maemo-leste/maemo-launcher/blob/qt5-booster/launcher/booster_qt.c11:32
Wizzupfreemangordon: yeah, but this is what the qt4 one was ike too11:32
Wizzupit also produces a static .so11:32
freemangordonright, but Nokia never really implementd that11:33
Wizzuphmm, ok11:33
freemangordonso at least you shoud do 'QtWidget *tmp = new QtWidget(); delete tmp;' or somesuch11:33
freemangordonI doubt that will work without QApplication, but who knows11:34
freemangordonthe whole point is to have qt .so files already pre-loaded and *symbols resolved*11:34
Wizzupright11:35
freemangordonbyt the time a qt .launcher application is started11:35
freemangordonhowever, I don;t know how will this work with QApplication11:35
freemangordonmaybe it will, whi knows11:35
freemangordon*who11:35
Wizzupwe'll do it another time11:36
dsc_qt has ->deleteLater() fyi :pPPpP11:37
dsc_also pass the parent in the constructor of whatever you are new'ing11:37
freemangordonI know, but we don't need that11:38
* dsc_ runs11:38
freemangordondsc_: all we want to achieve is qt libs dload()-ed and symbols resolved11:38
dsc_sorry, was just being annoying, didnt follow the convo11:38
dsc_no idea @ runtime loading11:39
freemangordondsc_: in case you are curious https://github.com/maemo-leste/maemo-launcher/tree/qt5-booster#readme11:40
dsc_ill take a looksie11:41
dsc_ehh11:45
dsc_i have too many questions :D probably better to ignore this for now11:46
WizzupSuperMarioSF_: they arrived already :)12:29
Wizzuphttps://wizzup.org/slack-conversations.png13:03
dreamerWizzup: hah. so now we only need discord? ;)13:09
Wizzupwell they needs to be improved a lot13:10
Wizzupbut it's working at least13:10
Wizzupdreamer: this will probably work https://github.com/EionRobb/purple-discord13:10
WizzupI'll package it a bit later when we have working telepathy calls for normal calls and sip13:10
Wizzuphow did I write 'they needs to be' lol13:11
dreamerhehe13:21
dreamerbecause you didn't want to write "it"13:22
dreameryou're so woke :#13:22
dreamer<j/k>13:22
* dreamer hasn't had any time for leste testing -_-13:22
Wizzuplol13:32
Wizzupmaybe around fosdem :)13:32
bencohWizzup: is that using conversation/telepathy, haze, and purple-slack?15:01
Wizzupcorrect15:01
bencohneat15:01
Wizzupyup15:01
Wizzuphad to hack around the libpurple plugin a bit15:01
Wizzupbut it works now15:01
bencohoh, what was needed there?15:01
Wizzupslack changed their apis15:02
Wizzupthe code to resolve an email to a user id doesn't work anymore, so if you figure out your user id and get a branch with a hackfix in place, it can work15:02
bencohah, so the changes could even be upstreamed15:02
Wizzupthe branch comes fromupstream but never merged since it's a hack15:02
bencohI see15:02
bencoh(so upstream purple-slack is broken?)15:02
WizzupI'm going to patch my bitlbee too, I've used this a lot in the past15:02
Wizzupyes15:02
Wizzupwell, youtube.com locked me out of the maemo leste account15:03
Wizzupit requires me to use an android or ios device to verify my account15:03
WizzupI guess we'll just self host some mp415:03
bencoh(oh, I just realized that your screenshot mentioned haze/purple :D)15:03
Wizzupbencoh: :p15:04
bencohbtw, how do handle closing conversation windows on leste? regarding 1. conv history 2. not leaving channels/groups/whatever15:05
Wizzupthis is not handled yet at all15:05
Wizzupthere's much to improve, including history fetching15:05
bencohI remember it being very clumsy on fremantle (wth irc for instance)15:05
bencohah, I see15:05
Wizzupyes, it is clumsy on fremantle, and this is partially due to how tp works I believe15:06
WizzupI do have code for multi person and group channels btw, it's just not logging or used in the UI at all15:06
* bencoh nods15:06
WizzupI am thinking we might need to store the channels we want to (re)join somewhere outside of tp15:06
Wizzupfreemangordon: do we have this https://github.com/maemo-leste/ke-recv/pull/4 already in our kernel?15:48
freemangordond4 extcon? no, but that's not needed by that PR16:52
Wizzupfreemangordon: ok16:59
norayrwho edited droid4 hardware keyboard layout recently?18:48
norayrcannot find in git the proper repo.18:48
norayrthere are changes, i wonder if those are intentional, because it is less usable now.18:48
norayrso 'ok' key doesn't work for me. even after i did this https://github.com/maemo-leste/bugtracker/issues/510#issuecomment-815618591 udevadm stuff.19:00
norayrno way to type colon or semicolon from hardware keyboard.19:00
norayri just discovered we have graphical IM account configuration!19:16
norayrthat is cool! but (again me with my unicode needs!) why doesn't it accept adding a utf-8 accounts? i have a fully unicode jabber id! (:19:17
norayrwill do that from console. (:19:17
bencohnorayr: why would you do that? :>19:22
norayrfor fun! i have a գրող at/from ծոց.հայ which means something funny. (:19:23
norayri can explain what does that mean of course, but it'll take time and space and letters.19:23
freemangordonnorayr: what do you mean "does not support utf-8'?19:32
Wizzupfreemangordon: ping20:02
norayri mean,20:03
norayri enter 'voip and im accounts'20:03
Wizzupfreemangordon: what was the tablet you brought to openfest again?20:03
norayrcreate an account like գրոց@ծոց.աաա20:03
norayror i created already that account from console, and i can see it in accounts20:04
norayrbut it is not 'signed in'20:04
norayri click on it20:04
norayri see my address in utf-8, i click on 'sign in' button20:04
norayri get notification 'user name unable to contain ծ'20:04
norayractually ծ is contained in the domain name, but yes, that's my notification.20:04
norayrand i cannot sign it in.20:05
norayrsearhing how to sign in from console but don't understad. :/ tried mc-tool reconnect but doesn't help.20:05
norayrenable doesn't help too.20:05
Wizzupthis might be some weird telepathy-gabble limitation20:10
Wizzupdoes this work on fremantle?20:10
Wizzupthat is not to say that we can't fix it, of course :)20:10
norayrWizzup: you think it is not in ui?20:10
norayrbecause with mc-tool i added the account from console without problems.20:11
norayrand i know people who use fully unicode jabber accounts. i am not alone. i actually saw it only then tried myself.20:11
norayranother problem is that, well, i had my address book synced. and it has many jabber entries20:12
norayrand if i sign in with regular non utf-8, ascii username@domain20:14
norayrand click on the jabber contact - well it doesn't know that this jabber contact is for this (and only even) jabber im account. and nothing happens, i cannot write.20:15
norayrthen i create a new address book entry. i add the same jabber account.20:15
norayri tap it, it asks - what IM account you want to write with? i choose my only non-unicode account.20:16
norayrit works, and works, and works forever.20:16
norayrand i cannot receive messages with that non-unicode account as well. :/20:16
norayrso this is about non-unicode.20:16
* norayr is not ranting, but trying to report problems to improve user experience.20:18
Wizzupnorayr: if you set auto-connect in mc-tool and then run reconnect it might work20:19
norayrWizzup: do you know why my 'ok' key ond droid4 doesn't work after update to chimaera? i tried the udevadm updatehwdb/trigger stuff.20:19
norayri did, doesn't help. can try to reboot.20:20
Wizzupnorayr: maybe something is broken, are you fully up to date?20:20
norayri think. well let me try again.20:20
Wizzupwhat was it again, ok + sym?20:20
Wizzupok + shift I think20:20
Wizzupthat brings up special vkb for me20:21
norayrok + the key upper the left arrow20:21
norayrit was typing colon before.20:21
Wizzupwhat does this do?20:21
Wizzuphm, really?20:21
norayrit works as arrow up for some reason now.20:21
WizzupI mean mostly likely maybe the xkb data is not what you want20:21
Wizzupnorayr: oh, you mean the key above the left arrow20:22
norayryes, it is a yellow colon on a key, and it used to be typed when i pressed it with ok key.20:22
Wizzupwhat does it give you now?20:22
norayryes20:22
WizzupIt's . : and > for me20:22
norayrit seems to work as arrow up and returns previous things in terminal.20:22
norayrno with ok20:22
norayrwithout ok let me see.20:22
Wizzupwith ok it is : for me20:22
Wizzupnorayr: this is maybe keymap dependent?20:23
norayrwith caps lock it is <>, with shift and without it is , and .20:23
Wizzupwait let me re-read what you wrote20:23
norayrit was working before chimaera update. so i wonder if something changed20:23
Wizzupthis is on the d4?20:23
norayrd4 yes20:23
Wizzupand what is drawn on the key for you20:23
Wizzupon the physical key20:23
norayrwhite dot and yellow colon20:24
norayralso there is a key with white comma and yellow semicolon.20:24
norayri cannot get this semicolon and colon anymore. but if i pressed these keys with 'ok' they were typed.20:24
norayrbefore the upgrade.20:24
Wizzupwhat application are you testing in?20:24
norayrmaemo terminal now.20:24
norayrlet me try something else.20:25
Wizzupok20:25
* norayr trying leafpad20:25
Wizzupit works for me in osso-xterm20:25
Wizzupso there's something different about your setup20:25
Wizzupdo you switch input languages?20:25
norayrsome behaviour.20:25
norayrhmmmm... not for hardware kbd. let me see in settings.20:25
norayrEnglish, Nederlands. Is that ok?20:26
WizzupI have that too20:26
norayrbtw, upgrading via apt-get upgrade. it says it'll upgrade surf. lets hope.20:26
norayrok i'll see if something will be fixed after upgrade.20:26
norayrit will bring leste-config-droid4, and hildon-meta-droid4, maybe the keymap is there.20:27
norayrmeanwhile can someone grep in the sources of ui 'user name unable to contain' line?20:31
norayri don't know where to grep.20:31
norayrmaybe it's in ui, because i get it as a yellow maemo message.20:31
Wizzupcan you file a bug in any case?20:31
norayrto which repo?20:32
Wizzupwe have only one place to file bugs :D20:33
sicelonorayr: just out of curiosity, what's the version of xkb-data in chimaera?20:44
norayrsicelo: 2.29.1+m720:45
* norayr rebooting droid420:46
siceloand beowulf has 2.26. upstream xkb could have changed something that broke our custom setup ...20:46
siceloe.g. they did change something which broke entering numbers on N900 keyboard (but this affects version 2.37)20:48
siceloon the other hand, i haven't yet understood what the issue is in your case (been busy with something else)20:49
Wizzupsicelo: so it works on my chimaera20:52
Wizzupnot saying there is not a problem, but it seems on par with beowulf -for me- at least20:52
norayrapt-get upgrade fixed it20:52
norayryay20:52
Wizzupgreat20:54
Wizzupalways nice when upgrades -fix- things rather than breaking them20:54
norayr(:20:55
freemangordonWizzup: allwinner a33 q8 or something21:08
freemangordonnorayr: for sure there is account field validation21:09
freemangordonmaybe it is not proper21:09
freemangordonhttps://github.com/maemo-leste/rtcom-accounts-ui/blob/master/widgets/rtcom-username.c#L81621:10
freemangordonhttps://github.com/maemo-leste/rtcom-accounts-ui/blob/master/widgets/rtcom-entry-validation.c#L30321:11
freemangordonnorayr: what is the *exact* error message?21:12
freemangordonok, I can reproduce with cyrillic , I get "User name unable to contain 'г'"21:16
freemangordonplease confirm you see the same error message21:16
Wizzuphttps://maemo-leste.github.io/maemo-leste-new-year-update-may-2022-january-2023.html21:37
bencohoooh, neat21:42
Wizzupdoes the bt video work for people?21:47
bencohvideo doesn't work here21:49
norayrfreemangordon: yes! that's what i see!21:49
* Wizzup fixes21:49
bencohWizzup: great update, interesting and fun to read <321:49
norayri can see the video21:50
bencohnorayr: the bt one?21:51
Wizzupbencoh: thanks, it was long overdue, but yeah :)21:51
norayrpinephone and maemo, looks cool.21:51
Wizzupthe bt webm was missing21:51
norayrshould update pp to chimaera.21:51
WizzupI just pushed the file it might take a few mins21:51
norayrah yes, the bt video i don't see.21:51
bencohI wonder, is there any better option than leste on pinephone nowadays? with "everything" working properly out-of-the-box21:52
bencohor is leste actually the most advanced ther?21:52
norayron pinephone i think the most polished is phosh. but i don't like it.21:53
xmnwell also sailfish21:53
bencohah, purism's shell21:53
bencohoh, sailfish was ported to pinephone?21:53
norayryes, sailfish is ported.21:53
xmnI just got 2 new n900 so happy.21:53
sicelo:p21:53
norayrjolla says half of the sailfish installations is on pinephone.21:53
bencohwow21:53
siceloxmn: why?21:53
Wizzupbencoh: I've heard a lot of people say that most of the other ones run very sluggish21:54
xmnAlmost daily drivable according to some folks21:54
Wizzupat least kde/gnome stuff21:54
norayri also tried gnome, to be precise 'gnome-mobile' - gnome with latest mobile fixes in pmos. it is much better than phosh, but of course much heavier.21:54
Wizzupbut mobian did some decent things it seems wrt power management21:54
norayrphosh is daily drivable i believe.21:54
bencohI guess sailfish on pinephone includes jolla's proprietary blobs as well?21:54
Wizzupmhm21:54
norayrgnome-mobile has this feature to rearrange icons, like in sailfish.21:54
siceloxmn: i was asking why you got n900?21:54
norayrand it doesn't work well in landscape mode on pp. but in portrait mode it is ok, if you write with qwerty onscreen only.21:54
xmnn900 was my main driver until the keyboard broke. Now living with the Pinephone manjaro phosh and mobian21:54
xmneventually maemo too21:55
norayrtheir onscreen keyboard is unable to show anything other than qwerty.21:55
sicelodoesn't it feel too slow for you now?21:55
norayrn900/maemo was my main. then sailfish was my main till this year.21:55
norayrnow maemo.21:55
bencohmaemo? on pinephone?21:55
xmnsicelo It's what I know and have. I personally never like the motorola design. The n900 does pretty much everything except web and group text mms (well). other then that I was happy21:59
xmnOh and the cell provider made it 2G only now :). But with out the web it's fine.21:59
xmnsicelo, it only feel slow sometime .. when I'm doing too much.22:00
bencohoh, your provider removed 3G and kept 2G? that's surprising22:00
bencohmost kill 2G first22:00
xmnthey want to push ppl off 3g so they can enhance 4-6g is my understanding or use it for something else.22:01
siceloxmn: i understand. i want to work on the voice calls a little bit more again (n900), now that modem is working fine once more22:02
xmnawesome. Since I have 2 working n900 and the PP. I can now do testing of maemo-leste!!22:03
bencoh\o/22:03
sicelomaybe you can help fix some of the issues ;-)22:03
xmnYeah, I just need to get it on and figure out best ways to load it on to a device and all that.22:10
xmnBut happy to help22:10
freemangordonbencoh: no way to kill 2G22:16
freemangordoneverything unattended (and most of attended) runs on 2G22:17
freemangordonATMs/ vending machines, POS terminals, you name it22:17
bencohwell, they're still killing it here and there22:17
freemangordonweird22:17
freemangordonI think 2G is here to stay22:17
freemangordonwhat about emergency services?22:18
freemangordonetc. etc.22:18
freemangordonmaybe they kill it for *your* SIM ;)22:18
bencohand here they were supposed to kill it too soon(tm), but put it on hold for some political reason22:18
bencohhaha, no, mine works well for now <322:18
freemangordonI bet 'political' being that every device that is not a mobile phone has 2G modem :)22:19
bencohregarding emergency service, IoT, and everything in-between, they supposedly migrated or planned migration for most stuff (here at least)22:19
uvos__well i 2g has been killed in some places22:19
uvos__like japan22:19
bencohnah, that part is supposedly out of the discussion22:19
freemangordon'here' being? Germany?22:19
bencohuvos__: yeah, but japan has always been different regarding cellular22:20
uvos__in germany they had it slated for 2028 iirc22:20
uvos__but its undefined for now22:20
uvos__3g is totaly gone in germany22:20
freemangordonyeah, 3G is another story22:20
bencohI recently learned about LTE CAT-M btw, I haven't really measured power consumption, but it is supposedly better than 2G, with similar or better bitrates22:20
uvos__yes new stuff is 4g22:21
bencoh3G should've died a long time ago imho22:21
uvos__infrastructure suff22:21
uvos__that is22:21
uvos__but infrastructure stuff has a long life22:21
uvos__its sill keeping 2g alive22:21
uvos__but they are also dwindeling22:21
bencohI mean ... I'm happy to still have 3G on n900, but 3G is the _worst_ techno of the family22:21
uvos__as stuff gets replaced22:21
freemangordonon N900 it is 3.5G :)22:22
uvos__please22:22
bencohyeah, well, HSPA+, but still22:22
uvos__thats like calling hasdpa+ 4 g22:22
freemangordonthat's why the smiley22:22
bencohUMTS and everything based on it is awful powerwise (thx wcdma)22:22
uvos__sure22:23
uvos__but practical bitrates have not really changed here22:23
freemangordonyet symbian devices managed to carry through the week with one charge22:23
uvos__since hsdpa22:23
xmnI would guess they say there are killing 2g, but are really keeping it for vertical markets.22:23
bencohfreemangordon: on 3G?22:23
freemangordonon 2G22:23
bencohoh, 2G is bliss powerwise22:23
freemangordonUMTS is not 3g, no?22:24
bencohUMTS is 3G22:24
uvos__yes22:24
bencohGSM is 2G22:24
uvos__umts is 3g22:24
freemangordonok22:24
bencohI keep my n900 on 2G most of the time, the moment I switch to 3G battery starts dropping22:24
uvos__some android phone implementations swtich22:24
uvos__depending on load22:24
bencoh(here at least, I saw it behaving differently in othr countries)22:24
bencohwhich reminds me ... what's the state of the droid4's lte modem?22:25
norayrok i was on chimaera already on pp, updating. hope it'll solve my kbd issues and charging issues.22:25
norayri was not able to charge maemo on pp while it was up, it was taking more power than getting.22:25
uvos__bencoh: still useless22:25
uvos__you can start it and poke it by tellneting into it22:26
uvos__and have it scann for networks too22:26
uvos__but thats it since no where is a provider in a band it will find22:26
norayram i right that macchanger freaks out internet connection daemon?22:26
bencohuvos__: wait, what? why?22:26
uvos__bencoh: it can do only one band22:27
bencohoh22:27
norayri cannot connect if i change the mac.22:27
uvos__and that one band was only ever usd by verizon22:27
bencohand I guess that band is LTE only in the US ... yeah22:27
uvos__and verizon dosen activate phones without volte22:27
uvos__so its totaly stuck22:27
bencohthanks motorola/verizon I guess ...22:27
bencohwell, then droid4 has no real future :(22:27
bencoh(I mean, it's a 2012 phone anyway, but still)22:28
uvos__yeah22:28
bencohsad22:28
norayryes i believe our main dev devices should be pp and ppp. maybe purism. maybe one plus - it is well supported under pmos i see.22:28
uvos__i gues maybe it possible that the lte modem could do other bands22:28
uvos__it seams wierd to design a frontend that can do only one band in 201222:29
bencohuvos__: with firmware update or some hidden AT command you mean?22:29
uvos__and the d4 was supposed to come to germany22:29
uvos__but motorola folded before it happend22:29
uvos__bencoh: sure i mean hw wise, the firmware dosent try any other bands for sure22:29
uvos__the modem dosent use at commands at all btw22:31
uvos__its a linux running device that presents as a usb network device that the android bits communicate over ip with22:32
bencohinteresting https://www.anandtech.com/show/4910/motorola-droid-bionic-review-dual-core-with-4g-lte/322:33
uvos__turning the modem on also absolutly murders battery life22:33
uvos__android dose so only on demand22:34
uvos__and keeps it off most of the time22:34
bencohaccording to it the w3lte is a motorola custom design (?)22:34
uvos__yes22:34
bencohthat's awful :/22:34
uvos__its a omap2 integrated with a custom motorola frontend22:34
uvos__or its 2 chips really22:34
uvos__a omap cpu and a modem connected to that, its even in 2 packages22:35
bencohconsidering what I'm reading in this page I wouldn't be surprised if the tuner wasn't actually bandpass-filtered22:36
uvos__bencoh: yes22:36
uvos__bencoh: the pa lna might be22:36
uvos__(probubly is)22:36
bencohor the antenna simply adapted for the 782MHz band22:36
bencohanyway ....22:36
uvos__sure that too22:36
uvos__but the pa,lna chip is from a famaly of narow band ones22:37
uvos__cant find the exact datasheet22:37
uvos__but yeah22:37
bencoh"power reduction used for LTE? / No" :/22:37
norayrapt-get upgrade didn't fix the keyboard layout for me on pp.23:26
norayrdoing apt-get dist-upgrade.23:26
