Wizzup-devel users, conversations is now default for sms on -devel, and sphone will use the voicecallmanager module00:05
Wizzupeverything should just work, but who knows00:05
arno11Wizzup: can't receive sms :( and call worked just one time (outgoing) and the next time sound was not working10:54
arno11i'll have a look to provide you more details10:55
Wizzuparno11: did you reboot after upgrade?11:07
arno11yes ofc11:13
Wizzupif you open conversations you don't see the sms in it?11:15
arno11sms tab appears, but nothing inside11:15
arno11*when i send a sms to the device11:16
Wizzuphm, ok11:17
Wizzuptelepathy-ring and voicecall manager are running?11:18
arno11yes they're still running11:21
arno11i'm still able to take/make calls but without sound11:22
arno11*btw11:22
arno11ah and ringtone works better than previously11:23
arno11and i can't hangup a call from sphone11:26
Wizzupnothing changed sound wise for sure11:26
WizzupI wonder if some of this has to do with the n900 resources somehow11:27
WizzupI send a bunch of sms and did some calls yesterday and it seemed to all work on several devices11:27
arno11ok11:27
Wizzupjust tried on bionic and it's fine at least11:28
Wizzupwhen you call, you are using the ring backend yeah?11:28
Wizzupnot like xmpp or sip11:28
arno11yup, the ring backend11:28
arno11btw i can't select sip or xmpp11:31
Wizzupwhat doesn't work for me (on n900 only) is selecting a contact and then saying call or sms11:31
Wizzupbtw does speaker phone work on n900?11:31
arno11you mean during call ?11:32
Wizzupcalled myself using my n900 leste to n900 fremantle and I got audio11:32
Wizzupon the handset11:32
Wizzuphangup works for me at least11:32
Wizzuplet me try calling leste11:32
arno11ok weird11:32
arno11ok11:32
WizzupI mean I'm not saying they're your bugs :D11:32
Wizzupjust trying to reproduce11:32
arno11:) yes try incoming on leste11:32
Wizzupit does look like maybe the call hangup didn't work correctly as you said, I see another 'active' call11:33
arno11ah11:33
Wizzupstill even with that ,I can pick up and sound works11:33
Wizzupbut yes, hangup is weird somehow11:33
arno11when you picked up the call, the screen was on or off ?11:36
Wizzupon11:36
arno11ah ok, mine was off11:36
Wizzupwill try with off11:37
Wizzupand you say sms does not work at all?11:37
arno11because sphone was very slow to show the ui11:37
Wizzuphm?11:38
arno11(sms doesn't work at all )11:38
WizzupI'm going to need some logs I think, but my n900 is -slow- atm11:39
arno11slow ?11:39
arno11weird11:39
Wizzupresponsiveness11:39
Wizzupin any case sms (perhaps unsurprisingly) works ok for me11:39
Wizzupbut there is no vibration or lock screen notification atm (which is a known bug)11:40
arno11ok11:40
arno11weird we have so much diff11:40
Wizzup*shrug* computers and software are hard :D11:40
arno11:)11:41
WizzupI do notice something odd, but I don't know if that is a conversations bug or not11:41
arno11ok let me reboot and try again11:42
arno11bbl11:42
WizzupI do see something weird country prefixes, like 0031 vs +31 on conversations11:46
arno11Wizzup: now i'm able to reproduce the call bug: they work fine excepting during incoming, if the caller hangup the call12:40
arno11i need to pkill sphone to hangup and then calls work again12:40
arno11otherwise sound is broken12:41
arno11(as you said, because the previous call is still active)12:42
arno11still not able to receive sms btw12:42
Wizzupok, that is some progress, I'll try to see what happens wrt hangup12:46
Wizzuphave you tried sending a sms?12:46
arno11let me try again12:47
arno11it says 'unable to perform operation' (from contacts app)12:48
arno11weird, it was a bit different before reboot (no error msg)12:49
arno11same error if i try to call from contacts app12:50
Wizzupok, I also get that, but only on n90012:52
arno11ok12:52
WizzupI'll have to debug how/why that happens12:53
arno11btw sms are still visible using ofono scripts (monitor-ofono)12:53
arno11ok12:53
Wizzupyeah I'm sure they'12:53
Wizzupre coming in, I think maybe they just don't show in your conversations12:53
Wizzupas in I think they are in the rtcom db, but I am not sure12:53
arno11ah maybe12:53
WizzupI need to see what the latest conversations release is12:53
Wizzupmy d4 probably has some custom built one12:54
Wizzupsorry if this is interrupting your work btw, you can downgrade by leaving devel and reinstall the pkgs12:54
Wizzupbut we need to find these bugs one way or another :)12:54
Wizzupyou have conversations 0.6.4 I imagine?12:54
arno110.6.4+m7.112:57
arno11(let me check if sms are in the rtcom db)13:00
arno11ah the el-v1.db file is corrupted13:08
arno11can't even open it with my computer (an old one works)13:10
Wizzupuhh13:11
Wizzupwhat is your computer running?13:11
arno11ubuntu13:11
Wizzupok13:12
arno11and db's from my previous install work13:12
Wizzupwell for the first time on my d4 I was unable to answer too13:13
arno11(when i say 'an old one', i mean an old db)13:13
Wizzuphuh weird13:13
arno11(for d4) ah13:14
Wizzupyeah been using this for weeks and weeks13:16
arno11Wizzup: last question, do the db will be generated again automatically if i delete it ?13:31
Wizzupyes, but I have never see nit get corrupted13:35
arno11ok, thx13:36
uvos__ if converstaions can do the sms ringing you can just leave sms enabled in sphone but not load the ui15:35
Wizzupno, it will make the sms notifications soon enough15:35
uvos__sphone will then play the sound and kick libnotify but do nothing else15:35
Wizzupit's been on my todo list for a bit15:38
arno11Wizzup: ok so the sms issue was the corrupted db (probably something wrong when playing with half-working plugins like skype...)15:39
arno11now it's ok with a fresh db15:39
arno11receiving/sending15:39
arno11through conversations ofc15:39
Wizzuphmm15:39
Wizzupyeah I think this is the group uid stuff15:40
Wizzup(I still need to update the sphone group_uids for calls)15:40
dsc_Wizzup: want me to make a new conversations version with latest master?15:40
dsc_most recent in repos is from 2 months ago15:41
dsc_or ehm, maybe im not looking correctly15:41
arno11Wizzup: the call 'hangup' issue is still there but that's easy to solve, killing sphone and launching it again15:42
uvos__Wizzup: if i nuke ring and vcm conversations will otherwise work fine right?15:42
uvos__since i want to stick with sphone-ofono indefinately15:42
Wizzupyes but the rtcom meta pkg depends on it15:44
Wizzuparno11: I mean I'll solve it in the code, but it's not there on my d4 and bionic so that's annoying15:45
Wizzupuvos__: so perhaps we'd have to make meta pkg so you can choose or something15:46
arno11Wizzup: ok, yes indeed15:48
arno11bbl15:48
uvos__Wizzup: maybe you also have an idea on how to hide the sphones sms related .desktop files15:50
Wizzupit could become a separate sphone pkg15:57
Wizzupthat would be easiest, where you have sphone-ofono that contains these15:58
Wizzupthey could be dpkg-diverted by that's ehhhhh15:58
uvos__well sphone-sms maybe15:58
uvos__since it has nothing to do with ofono persay15:59
Wizzupright15:59
WizzupI'm preparing to travel tomorrow but I'll get on some of the bugs today and on sunday16:03
sicelosphone sms related. desktop files ... why are they there in the first place? or the question is in connection with having conversations?16:03
uvos__?16:05
uvos__because sphone supports sms16:05
sicelowhy hide them?16:05
uvos__because now sphones sms features are broken16:05
uvos__because ring breaks ofono16:06
uvos__and vcm dosent support sms16:06
sicelook16:06
uvos__so sphone cant serve sms on leste anymore16:06
uvos__with the default packages installed16:06
uvos__but ofc i dont want to remove the .desktop files either16:07
uvos__since its only broken beyond sphones controll on the specifc setup leste uses16:07
uvos__remove from the package entrely that is16:08
WizzupI think it's probably quite simple to split it up, you just need to make a debian/sphone-sms.install file16:10
Wizzupyou might have to make debian/sphone.install too, not sure16:10
Wizzupuvos__: does sphone log to syslog?16:12
Wizzupit might be useful to do able to see sphone log when it's started through xsession16:13
uvos__Wizzup: no but it essentally can16:14
uvos__https://github.com/maemo-leste/sphone/blob/d0dea784e1d809777b03387e1be66837dede4ced/src/sphone.c#L54116:14
uvos__just set SPHONE_LOG_SYSLOG here16:14
uvos__if you like you could add a flag for this16:14
Wizzupyeah, I think we would probably want this, because then for example I could ask arno11 for logs if he can't hangup16:16
arno11Wizzup: few more things: incoming notifications work with sip msg's, in fact sip msg works perfectly :)17:48
arno11able to make/take sip calls with no sound of course17:48
arno11ucm profile switch doesn't work btw so impossible to get audio sync17:49
arno11but even switching profile by hand, it still doesn't work17:49
arno11ah, in fact outgoing doesn't work. i wonder if stun and other stuff are ok (?)17:52
arno11because it works for incoming17:52
arno11no issue with hangup using sip btw17:54
arno11and PA source/sink threads don't start during sip call17:58
arno11that's all i know for the moment. Huge improvement with conversations anyway :)17:59
arno11(ah and sending sms to a new contact works fine)18:00
Wizzuparno11: yes but the incoming msg notifications only work if conversations is not open18:03
Wizzuparno11: I haven't gotten sip audio to work at all so far18:03
Wizzup17:53 < arno11> because it works for incoming18:04
Wizzupyou got any audio at all??18:04
arno11nope, just answering and hangup18:07
Wizzupah ok18:07
Wizzupyeah there's a lot to figure out theres still18:07
WizzupI haven't really messed with the options in the rtcom accounts ui, but I wouldn't necessarily expect the problem to just be of the nature of finding the right settings18:08
Wizzupfor example, I need to fix the module to deal with some subtle differences compared to regular calls, there seem to be additional states18:08
arno11ok18:08
Wizzupmaybe I just didn't get the right sdcard for my n900 yet but I still find the performance abysmal18:09
Wizzupbut I also don't overclock it yet I guess18:09
Wizzupmaybe abysmal is not the right word, but not ... great :)18:09
arno11weird, even with stock freqs it works fine18:09
arno11(even compared to my redmi with proot btw)18:10
arno11*it should work fine18:10
freemangordonsame here (bad performance)18:11
arno11ah18:11
freemangordonand iirc uSD card is fast18:12
dsc_can I disable maemo's styling of QPushButton somehow? https://a.uguu.se/OULebVhu.png18:13
dsc_should look like: https://a.uguu.se/NOzwMNje.png18:13
freemangordondsc_: I wonder on what device do you test18:14
freemangordond4?18:14
dsc_freemangordon: this screenshot is from QEMU, but for physical testing I use d418:15
dsc_the reason I use VNC is unrelated18:15
freemangordonyeah, but the question is - how useful are such a tiny buttons on small screen?18:16
freemangordonanyway18:17
arno11freemangordon: your N900 was working well previously with leste or never ?18:18
freemangordonnever18:18
freemangordonwell, it is not that it cannot be used18:18
Wizzupfreemangordon: the buttons aren't that tiny18:18
freemangordonok18:18
freemangordonarno11: just... way slower than on fremantle18:18
freemangordonvisibly slower18:19
arno11freemangordon: not the same for me, weird18:19
freemangordonnot sure if it is because of slow storage or soemthing else18:19
freemangordonpartially could be because the digitizer has issues18:19
arno11really don't know18:20
dsc_fixed it, also touch area will be sufficient, if not - easy to tweak18:22
arno11freemangordon: yesterday evening i compared my N900 with my redmi with proot, navigating and starting apps, and it was pretty similar (excepting time needed to start qt5 apps ofc)18:24
Wizzuphm, ok18:24
WizzupI find like sometimes if I press say a chat in conversations it takes seconds to open the chat18:25
Wizzupand this is true for other programs too18:25
sicelohow to get more verbose output or logs from the image builder (running locally)18:26
arno11ah yes, conversations is slower now to start and open chat, indeed, and all qt5 apps18:26
sicelofor example, i'm just playing with building n900 image, and i'm getting https://paste.debian.net/1309925/18:27
Wizzupsicelo: what commands precede the build_arm_dist18:28
Wizzupthe image builder uses this18:29
WizzupE: Couldn't find these debs: usr-is-merged18:29
Wizzuperr18:29
Wizzupzsh -f -c 'source sdk && load devuan n900 maemo && export compiler=arm-none-eabi- && build_arm_dist' || exit 118:29
Wizzupyou can make that separate, so:18:29
Wizzupzsh -f18:29
Wizzupsource sdk18:29
Wizzupetc18:29
Wizzupbut you need to cd arm-sdk first for that18:30
siceloi was doing it all manually, per https://leste.maemo.org/Image_Builder18:30
siceloand yes i'm in arm-sdk dir18:30
sicelolooks to me like it runs fine, just fails on that `usr-is-merged` package. i have an idea what the package is about, but would be nice to know why it's being asked for here (i think it's a new thing)18:31
dsc_Wizzup: latest stuff in jib now18:34
dsc_are people here using latest master @ conversations?18:35
dsc_because version in repos is a bit old18:35
Wizzupno, 0.6.4 is in -devel18:35
WizzupI wanted to see if I could fix up the group chat ui a bit and take a look at a few of the things you talked about18:36
dsc_ok18:36
Wizzupdsc_: new jib looks pretty great imo18:36
sicelomaybe it's the debootstrap ... https://github.com/MerlijnWajer/libdevuansdk/blob/a75b38eed7c3c6ba20e3524f9722000c6e11f65f/zlibs/bootstrap#L60-L6418:36
dsc_yeah works well, if I may say so myself :p18:36
Wizzupdoes it do portrait?18:36
dsc_no...18:36
dsc_actually I dont know. It might.18:37
Wizzupsicelo: on usr-is-merged, I don't really remember this problem18:37
Wizzupdsc_: doesn't look like it on my d4 atm, would a sweet improvement18:37
sicelosince i can see the "Running stage1 debootstrap" stuff on line 58, but i clearly don't get to line 7018:37
Wizzupsicelo: are you on debian?18:37
siceloyes, debian sid18:37
WizzupI wonder if that has something to do with it18:38
sicelohttps://wiki.debian.org/UsrMerge18:38
Wizzupdid you read the README in arm-sdk ?18:38
siceloi was thinking this debootstrapping is happening in a chroot or similar?18:39
Wizzupsicelo: and you're sure it's picking up the chimaera image and all?18:39
sicelohow could i verify? otherwise the commands from wiki work fine, up to this point18:39
Wizzupusing grep I see:18:39
Wizzuparm-sdk/lib/libdevuansdk/zlibs/bootstrap:        --exclude=usr-is-merged \18:39
Wizzupbut I have never seen this error I think18:40
Wizzupsicelo: huh wait18:40
sicelothe debootstrap log has "2024-02-12 21:39:57 URL:https://pkgmaster.devuan.org/merged/dists/chimaera/InRelease [33520/33520] -> "/home/sicelo/Git/leste/image-builder/arm-sdk/tmp/devuan-armhf-build/bootstrap/var/lib/apt/lists/partial/pkgmaster.devuan.org_merged_dists_chimaera_InRelease" [1]"18:40
Wizzupwhat is your arm-sdk head18:41
WizzupI feel like you're using something else to build18:41
Wizzupwhat I do is clone image-builder18:41
sicelolet me start from scratch then :-)18:41
Wizzupgit and update the submodules18:41
Wizzupdid you clone arm-sdk and friends separately, or?18:41
Wizzupsicelo: ha wait18:42
WizzupUnstaged changes18:42
Wizzup+        --exclude=usr-is-merged \18:42
siceloheh, forgot to commit?18:42
WizzupI guess so, but it didn't seem to affect our image builder18:42
Wizzup2mins18:44
Wizzupsicelo: please pull image-builder master and update submodules18:48
uvosdsc_: you can use the style override in env to get rid of maemo theme (which will get rid of the styled buttons)18:49
uvosdsc_: for a fully self-styled app you can also do so in source18:49
WizzupI think he wants the rest of the style to be maemo18:49
Wizzupjust the buttons looked bad18:49
uvosyou can override specific style elements18:50
uvosbut i cant remember the api of the top of my head18:50
WizzupI think he solved the problem already18:50
siceloWizzup: thanks. there's progress now18:54
arno11Wizzup: freemangordon: i'm currently uploading a video on dropbox showing how it works on my N900. it was 2 months ago with (very) low transitions effects and a bit of overclock. (805MHz iirc)19:06
Wizzupgreat, ty19:39
WizzupI don't have the transitions changes I think19:39
Wizzupfreemangordon: it might be that arno11 has boost on and disabled 250mb19:46
Wizzup250mhz19:46
WizzupI just did that as well19:46
arno11Wizzup: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/psjbg34qerlki0r4llm7v/maemo-leste-demo.mp4?rlkey=pbam48hotpruaab30btbxl9u3&dl=019:48
arno11even with no boost and 250MHz it works quite well btw19:50
Wizzupdownloading19:51
arno11you can stream it i think19:51
Wizzupprefer download :)19:51
sicelohow large is the file?19:52
arno11ok :) 300MB19:52
Wizzupha yeah the transitions make a big difference19:52
Wizzupat least in your video19:52
arno11yeah i know19:53
arno11you'll see how it stays responsive even with pscx running19:55
Wizzupunder i/o load it goes super slow for me19:58
arno11ah ok19:59
arno11it was like that on my device with a slow sd19:59
arno11should be interesting to benchmark yours20:00
Wizzuphow do you benchmark it?20:01
arno11using dd usually20:02
Wizzupread speed, write speed?20:02
arno11both20:02
arno112 min20:02
Wizzupfreemangordon: shall we pull in https://github.com/maemo-leste/leste-config/pull/40 ?20:04
arno11Wizzup: this one is a bit too much20:06
arno11transitions are completely disabled20:07
Wizzupah20:08
arno11i have another one file with just lighter transitions (50ms most of the time instead of 250) and keeping effects and zoom20:09
Wizzupwhich is the one in your video20:09
arno11the 'hardcore' one20:10
arno11you can try it if you want, the very light one is in my dropbox20:14
WizzupI just installed it yeah20:14
WizzupIt seems ifne20:14
arno11ok cool20:14
Wizzupbut yeah maybe not best for default20:15
arno11indeed20:15
Wizzupthere was also this cssu tool to tweak the transitions20:15
WizzupI don't know if I packaged it for chimaera too20:15
arno11you should reboot btw20:15
WizzupI did pkill hildon-desktop20:15
Wizzupis mor ODerequired?20:15
Wizzupis more required20:15
arno11ok should be enough20:16
Wizzupthe delay in opening the status menu also seems gone then20:16
arno11yes indeed20:17
Wizzupwell that *is* good to know, that means the slowness in opening status menu on say d4 is not related to the status applet itself20:17
arno11yes20:17
diejuseWizzup arno11 I'm glad you're focused on reducing the slowness of transitions. :)20:21
diejusearno11 How smooth everything works in your video!20:25
arno11:)20:30
arno11the type of uSD card in use has a huge impact as well (excepting for loading stuff on boot)20:32
arno11dinner time20:32
WizzupI did think I bought an expensive microsd for the n90020:35
diejusearno11 If you have some time, I would like you to try making OMP work on your Xiaomi. Now I'm not the only one who uses proot.20:42
Wizzupdiejuse: I'm sure making OMP work is easy assuming you start the right processes20:44
Wizzupat this point it's not clear to me how this works, but if you can make a 'diff' of changes made from a regular image to your image, and what is started and how, then I could take a look and help20:44
diejuseWizzup I have what you say in mind but it is not easy. That's why it's good for me to let arno11 try some things since he will have more knowledge of how Maemo Leste works than I do.20:47
diejuseI have tried converting some more modern images to proot but I have not had success. The base with which I made chroot and also proot is https://maedevu.maemo.org/images/arm64-generic/20200114/maemo-leste-1.0-arm64-raspi3-20200114.tar.gz Other images have given me problems that I don't know how to solve.20:50
diejuseBut hey, in any case, you should know that I have the same interest as you in knowing how to convert any more modern image into root.:)20:51
arno11diejuse: yesterday i had a look at your maemo launch script and if i understand correctly, you can't load more stuff because of 'permission errors', is that correct ?20:57
arno11btw i've been able to dist-upgrade the proot img to chimaera-devel and install conversations. but as Wizzup said previously, lot of stuff from xsession are missing21:01
freemangordonarno11: looks smooth, however, I want to see the scrolling in addressbook and modest21:02
freemangordonbecause clutter stuff is ok, no doubt21:02
arno11and btw iirc we should try another version of proot with a specific flag to avoid permissions error21:02
arno11freemangordon: scrolling in modest is not bad, not really smooth but fast21:03
freemangordonso, my sd here is sandisk exterme 128 A221:03
freemangordonthat one should be ok, no?21:03
arno11should be fine indeed21:04
freemangordonfor sure latest DDX fixes made huge diff21:04
arno11yeah !21:05
freemangordonbut still we are not in par with fremantle, at least I feel it like that21:05
arno11specially with emulators and video playing21:05
freemangordonmhm21:05
freemangordonmaybe we lack some optimisation in GTK21:05
arno11maybe but you run Fremantle with thumb ?21:05
freemangordonsure21:06
freemangordonI am the one with cssu-thumb, would be stupid to not use it :)21:06
arno11lol indeed21:06
freemangordonbut we use thumb on leste as well21:06
sicelono, we don't21:06
freemangordonumm, what?21:06
freemangordonhow's that21:06
freemangordon?21:06
siceloD4 doesn't like it21:07
freemangordonsicelo: wait, wait21:07
freemangordonthis is not thumb kernel21:07
freemangordonwe *do not* run thumb kernel on fremantle either21:07
freemangordonit is aboutu userland21:07
freemangordon*about21:07
siceloah, ok. thought you meant the kernel21:07
freemangordonno21:07
freemangordonarno11: ok, these days I will put that uSD in my daily device, to see if working digitizer makes any difference21:08
freemangordonarno11: so, if you find time and will to check if we have some slowness in GTK, I will owe you yet another beer :)21:10
arno11ok lol21:10
freemangordondiejuse: still, great job with leste on android, people are waiting for appstore installer :)21:11
freemangordonno, really, I was asked about that21:11
Wizzupit seems to me that even just using rsync -nav to check what files are different might be of a huge help21:12
Wizzupor start with find on both and then vimdiff21:13
diejuse@freemangordon hehe,thank you so much21:14
freemangordonwe kinda left PR on the background lately, but having leste installable in android appstore could potentially bring new devs to help21:16
diejuseit still needs more progress21:21
diejuse@arno11 many problems about /proc /sys ...21:22
diejuseyes permission denied to access to several files21:22
diejuseconveesations worked?21:22
diejuse@freemangordon that for now I will add instructions in my githib to add am icon to lauch Maemo Leste easily21:36
arno11diejuse: i need to try to add plugins to be able to test conversations22:16
arno11ok adding plugin like rakia works, able to install all rtcom accounts stuff22:38
arno11setting up a sip account works now but impossible to signin because of dummy network apparently22:39
Wizzupyeah dummy network actually makes an interface22:43
Wizzupyou might want something even more dummy-er22:43
Wizzuparno11: does icd2 run?22:48
arno11let me check22:51
arno11yes it does22:52
diejuse@arno11 @Wizzup Dummy network is a problem yes22:53
arno11the main issue imo22:53
siceloin the chroot, you're otherwise able to interact with the internet, e.g. resolve dns names from xterm?22:54
freemangordonwhat is the issue with dummy network?22:54
freemangordonit works fine in VM, I see no reason why it wouldn't in another environment22:55
diejuseemail app will not work either. I am using thunderbird as a client that does work22:55
arno11maemo apps seem to not see the network22:55
freemangordonright, but what is the issue with dummy net?22:55
diejuse@sicelo yes it works with chroot22:56
freemangordonok, does system dbus work?22:56
arno11apparently yes22:57
diejuse/etc/init.d/dbus was modified by me to get working22:57
arno11i see dbus-daemon, dbus-launch running22:57
arno11ah ok22:58
sicelo`busctl list` should tell you if it's working as expected22:58
arno11ok let me check22:58
arno11seems ok22:59
arno11i see almost everything22:59
siceloincluding something with icd/icd2 ?23:00
arno11yes23:00
diejuseI read you from time to time because I'm dining out. Glad you are reviewing proot. :)23:00
diejuseI want to know why an app manager like Synaptic works and not the Maemo app manager. If the internet works, why do I need a dummy network?23:12
freemangordondiejuse: because maemo apps require icd to confirm there is working connection23:17
diejuseok mmm thanks for the answer. It would be nice to have a way to bypass the requirement, to have an alternative version of the app manager. Simply have the requirement that there is an Internet connection.23:26
diejuseProot's limitations require some adaptations.23:29
uvosfreemangordon: to what end anyhow?23:32
uvosfreemangordon: i dont see how its better than just assuming there is and poping up the dialog when the tcp request fails.23:33
uvosif no interface is set up the request will fail instantly anyhow23:34
uvosso it isent speed23:34
uvosspecificly talking about HAM23:34
uvosfor some other clients you can make the argument that it saves power if they dont try23:35
uvosbut HAM? i dont see it23:35
freemangordonuvos:all those use the same library, I don;t see how (and why) every app shall behave differently23:44
freemangordonalso, this was never meant to be run without root access23:45

freemangordonnot to say that dummy connection not working just exposes some major issue with the whole setup23:49
