02:39.27shadowshey all
02:39.49shadowswhom is familiar with the Matchbox WM and its code changes?
02:40.18shadowsthere's a bug with matchbox-panel, i think, in version 0.9.2 and i want to devise a patch that fixes only the problem
02:40.35shadows(versus running an entirely svn checkout version of matchbox-panel)
02:41.05shadowswith the problem in effect, the matchbox panel menu font is very small on OpenZaurus builds
02:44.09*** part/#gpe FortMax (n=aperez@pool-71-250-152-136.nwrknj.east.verizon.net)
03:39.51Cwiiisshadows: I think you're better off running matchbox svn - it's stable
04:05.11shadowsCwiiis: no release?
04:05.41shadowsCwiiis: good feedback btw.  i'm trying to integrate all this into OE
04:06.22Cwiiisshadows: I'm not sure when the next release will be, but we're using the subversion at the moment - The packages should already be in OE
04:07.56Cwiiisshadows: We're using 20060120 for libmatchbox, wm and desktop and 20051101 for everything else (keyboard/panel/stroke/themes-extra)
04:08.05shadowshmm okay
04:08.17shadowsdo you know of the "small matchbox panel font" bug?
04:08.27shadowsi am trying to specifically fix that bug for a release
04:08.51CwiiisI'm afraid not

16:31.43MacfironI'm trying to get matchbox, xkbd and mbinputmgr to work on a small system running debian. But all I get is an error when adding mbinputmgr to the mbdock-session via -da
16:32.54MacfironI think, in /usr/local/share/applications/inputmethods/, there has to be an xkbd.desktop file of some sort.
16:33.33MacfironSo I put one there which is similar to the one I found in an working gpe-Environment. But this doesn't work.
16:37.56MacfironThe error is "mbinputmgr: no session data found.mbinputmgr: Could not load (null)". Can anyone give me a hint to get this working?

18:20.54Philippepb_, thanks for the forward.
18:23.45pb__:-}
18:24.47PhilippeWould "Plucker E-book reader" be a good fix  for #1531? I find it rather long. But removing the plucker does not give any clue which program it is.
18:25.35pb__sounds okay to me.  Does it fit on the screen?
18:25.50pb__if not, you'll have to either drop the Plucker or use something like "E-book (Plucker)"
18:27.22jurop88pb_:thx for the forward, too :-)
18:27.33Philippepb_, it does not fit indeed. Let's try some more things.
18:28.24Philippejurop88, where did you get the e-mail adress from? If you have been reading the code and changelog my adress is mentioned several times...
18:28.34PhilippeJust that we can fix it to avoid further mistakes.
18:34.00jurop88I read it on the fly on the first sniplet of code that was open in Kate...
18:34.13jurop88and was the same mentioned on the website...

18:34.39jurop88for this reason I didn't look for it twice and sent the mail to the wrong place :-(
18:36.05Philippejurop88, no problem :-) Seems I forgot to add myself in one of the files.
18:38.29PhilippeCoreDump|home, seems to put lots of effort in finding bug #638
18:40.00CoreDump|homeactually it has todo with jffs2 on 2.4
18:41.24CoreDump|homeas it is right now, everyone on Akita who tries kernel 2.6 looses his /home partition when re flashes 2.4 again. The only way out is a nand restore (=complete data loss)
18:42.12PhilippeCoreDump|home, Eeeeks!

20:56.09pb_mreimer: I think so

21:55.28pb_iirc, the US and maybe Australia are the only locales that use am/pm notation.
21:59.02pb_hrm
21:59.40florianpb_: well... it might be broken on the 770, but i currently don't have any other device with us locale available.
22:00.07pb_okay, I'll have a poke at it tomorrow
22:00.21pb_I do remember seeing some complaints from US users about "military time"
22:01.47florianpb_: yep... i'll ask why it is that hard to look around in the world a little bit ;-)

22:25.22florianhere we go... now i fear what bugzilla will tell me
22:30.27mreimerbug in xserver-common: "HP iPAQ H2100"
22:30.33mreimershouldn't that be H2200?
22:31.18florianhmm that would be a question for koen|sleep
22:34.04DataBeaverHow do I make the pointer invisible?
22:34.32florianmreimer: do you have one?
22:34.48mreimerflorian: yes, I have an h2200. I don't think an h2100 has ever existed
22:35.22florianDataBeaver: this should happen automatically... which device/distribution combination does cause this?
22:35.39florianmreimer: what does /proc/cpuinfo say?
22:36.13mreimerflorian: "Hardware : HP iPAQ H2200"
22:36.22mreimerflorian: I think it's a typo that's crept into a recent version
22:36.40florianthats no good
22:37.38DataBeaverflorian: Zaurus SL-C3100 and OpenZaurus (self-built)
22:37.55DataBeaverIt was hidden before the recent ipkg upgrade messup I had
22:39.26florianmreimer: its fixed in latest release, but we don't use that for 0.8.3... maybe we need to patch this or remove some other patches.
22:39.40mreimerflorian: ah, I see
22:40.02florianDataBeaver: that would be related to detect-stylus, maybe check if it is there first.
22:41.20Rebeccawhich video media player/s do people find works best on their handhelds?
22:41.22DataBeaverThat's present, but running it tells that xrdb is missing
22:43.03DataBeaverdetect-stylus runs successfully now...  But apparently it alone doesn't hide the cursor.
22:43.23mreimerflorian: yep, it's 100dpi.patch that has the h2100 typo
22:43.59koen|sleepI know why :(
22:44.03koen|sleeps/200/100/g
22:44.13koen|sleep~lart me
22:44.24mreimer:-)
22:44.30mreimerkoen's sleepwalking again
22:44.35koen|sleepyeah
22:44.41koen|sleepon the prw
22:44.46koen|sleepprowl for warm milk
22:44.58florianheh
22:45.11mreimerflorian, how's Jonas sleeping? Or you and your wife, for that matter?
22:45.58florianRebecca: vlc-gpe might be a good candidate imho
22:46.20koen|sleepdoes vlc use libmad yet?
22:46.27florianDataBeaver: maybe the transparent cursor theme is missing.
22:46.28koen|sleeplast I tried it didn't
22:47.02DataBeaverflorian: Relogging helped
22:47.29DataBeaverGrr, I hate how the font sizes spontaneously change...
22:48.21koen|sleeppretty funny how mallum scolded gpe for depending on non-released software, but is using svn mb stuff throughout
22:49.09koen|sleep'Unfortunately, Palm's idiocy probably condemns us all to using PocketPC or Qt/Embedded at some point.' as seen on slashdot
22:49.39florianmreimer: currently it doesn't matter... they are still at hospital. but he slept the last night without waking up a single time. but i have some fear that won't persist ;-)
22:49.53mreimerflorian: your fear is well-founded :-)
22:50.26DataBeaverIt _looks_ like the X server dpi value had changed, but when I check it with xdpyinfo, it's still 200dpi
22:50.28mreimerflorian: I've found the first couple of nights home from the hospital to be the hardest. But it doesn't last long
22:51.21floriankoen|sleep: that's true... i have no idea why he refuses to release stuff.
22:51.29mreimerhmm, Xfbdev is running -dpi 200, but the fonts are still small
22:51.52DataBeaverWhe couldn't the font sizes be just pixels...
22:52.11pb_they are, effectively.
22:52.44pb_"point sizes" are a bit of a fiction for onscreen use.

22:54.17poliShit... monotone pull of .dev, OE and Azures combined: top - 20:48:05 up 2 days, 19:13,  8 users,  load average: 13.64, 9.47, 7.92
22:55.31DataBeaverEh?  I seem to be missing gpe-dm's config...
22:55.44pb_mreimer: try something like "echo Xft.dpi: 150 | xrdb -merge"
22:55.59pb_DataBeaver: gpe-dm doesn't really have any configuration
22:56.32mreimershadows: /usr/lib/cpp: not found
22:56.36DataBeaveroh
22:56.40pb_oh, right, add -nocpp
22:56.54pb_crazy xrdb
22:57.04mreimerpb_: thanks, that did it
22:57.25mreimerpb_: why doesn't Xft pick this value up from the xserver?
22:57.51pb_mreimer: because you don't, in general, want the fonts to be as big as the xserver's dpi value would suggest.
22:58.19mreimerpb_: with dpi and font sizes specified in point size, don't you get what you ask for?
22:58.42DataBeaverMy display has pixels.  I want font sizes to be in pixels.
22:58.43mreimerI guess it depends on what units you're asking about
22:58.55pb_mreimer: in some technical sense, yes, but that behaviour doesn't actually buy anything much from a user perspective.
22:59.16mreimerI figured Xft would be more concerned with the technical sense
22:59.40pb_no, that's what the xserver is concerned with.  Xft is concerned with making it "work right".
23:00.32mreimerso does Xft assume 100 dpi?
23:00.58pb_by default, yeah.  we should probably teach it to use 150dpi or something on the higher-res displays.
23:01.48mreimerseems like Xft ought to interpret that in some other units than dpi, since it doesn't actually correspond to dpi
23:02.13pb_fwiw, desktop X and Windows both behave the same way: they use a fixed value of "100dpi" for fonts, irrespective of the actual dot pitch of your monitor.
23:02.30mreimersounds like hysterical raisins to me :-)
23:02.33pb_in windows, if you enable the "large fonts" option then the dpi is changed to 120 or something
23:02.47mreimerpostmodern dpi
23:03.33pb_the main reason is that all the other elements of the onscreen UI are sized in pixels (or pixel-derived units) rather than inches.
23:03.49DataBeaverAs they well should be.
23:03.54mreimerok, I get that
23:04.07pb_using a "correct" interpretation of font sizes in terms of points would mean that, on higher-res screens, the text would be scaled up but everything else would stay the same.
23:04.16mreimermakes sense
23:04.26pb_which, generally speaking, will cause the ui design to start to fall apart at the seams.
23:05.10DataBeaverAlso, while the Zaurus screen has double the dpi as standard desktop displays, it's also looked at from half the distance (or even less)
23:05.37pb_that's also true, yeah
23:05.48DataBeaverThat makes up for the larger dpi, so the font sizes in pixels can be the same
23:06.49mreimerpb_: tagging question: should kernel26 be tagged -hh0 right after the point at which the new kernel was imported/committed, or later, after breakages were fixed?
23:07.01pb_later
23:07.06mreimerok
23:07.14pb_you'd only tag it as -hh<something> once you have a version that works well enough to be releaseable
23:07.21mreimerok, makes sense
23:09.08mreimeris gpe-watch supposed to show a face, or just the hands?
23:09.16pb_just the hands
23:09.28pb_well, you should get a circle around the face, but that's all
23:09.44pb_I keep meaning to add hour markings to it, but never actually did
23:09.46mreimerok. the clock widget with the face & numbers looks so nice, I wondered whether something was missing in gpe-watch
23:10.06pb_yah, unfortunately that widget just uses a bitmap, so it only works at that one exact size
23:10.14mreimerah, I thought it was cairo
23:10.25pb_no, cairo is what draws the hands
23:11.05Rebeccaflorian: ok :)
23:11.12pb_fwiw, http://scanline.ca/dpi/ has some more words about the font dpi thing we were just discussing
23:11.20mreimerthanks for the link
23:11.29mreimergood ol'l billy biggs
23:11.57pb_heh, right
23:12.46florianpb_: i think i can make some US citizens happy...
23:13.22pb_florian: excellent, I'm sure they could use some happiness
23:14.44florianhehe
23:15.11floriani just need to find the correct formating magic we need in gpe-calendar
23:16.13poliIs there some mt option not to get ansi extensions? (just linear ascii text so a crontab email could be readable?)
23:16.50pb_florian: oh, I just looked at the day view code and it doesn't use the locale at all
23:17.04pb_I guess bedboi must have changed that when he redid all the rendering stuff
23:17.14pb_no wonder the americans are complaining
23:17.15pb_heh
23:17.21florianpb_: yeah... i'm just fixing this
23:17.27pb_cool
23:17.41florianpb_: maybe because most of them are not old-fashioned? ;-)
23:18.13pb_florian: it should probably be using strftime("%R") or some such
23:19.20florianpb_: that's 24 hour...
23:19.27mreimerOT: the other day I was thinking it could be useful to link to-do items with calendar events; then the to-do items for a given event (say, Work, or "Linux dev") could be displayed
23:19.36florian%X i guess
23:19.42pb_florian: ah, er, right
23:20.09pb_mreimer: yeah, there's some half-written code in there to do that
23:20.15mreimercool
23:20.19florianmreimer: yes indeed... lome links between all the pim stuff would be gret
23:20.29florianpb_: !
23:21.04mreimerI was also wondering whether gpe-calendar can do recurrences of the type, "second and third Saturdays of every month"
23:21.29mreimerbut I didn't see it in the UI
23:22.19mreimerdoes gpe-calendar or its underlying libraries grok that kind of recurrence?
23:22.19florianuh... gpe-calendar is picky about the library versions now.
23:22.53pb_mreimer: not sure.  that'd be a question for Professor McCarthy.
23:23.34florianI guess libeventdb would need some tweaks to support this... but its supported in the mimedir stuff, so syncing should not break with these kind of events.
23:24.00mreimerthe backend stuff seems very open-ended, nice
23:25.17mreimerwhat lib handles the recurrences?
23:25.31DataBeaverWhy does my gxine keep segfaulting? :(
23:26.52florianmreimer: libeventdb is responsible for storage, libschedule to make sure they are handled in the system.
23:27.51*** join/#gpe paul (i=[U2FsdGV@cl-9.dub-01.ie.sixxs.net)
23:28.04florianhmm yes, add libschedule...
23:28.10florianhi paul
23:28.36mreimerhas anyone used gpe-word?
23:28.57florianmreimer: its everything but finished
23:29.59mreimerI'll give it a try
23:31.31DataBeaverWhat does ldr r3, [r0, #12] mean?
23:31.42mreimerr3 = *(r3 + 12)
23:32.05DataBeaverr0+12 maybe?
23:33.06mreimeroops, that's what I meant
23:33.43DataBeaverHm, r0 contains 0x656c7974, which doesn't sound like a valid address...
23:33.50mreimerthat's ascii
23:33.54DataBeaverYeah
23:34.16DataBeaverAnd valid addresses usually start with 0x08... or 0x40...
23:34.25mreimer'alyt'
23:34.42DataBeaver0x65 is 'e'
23:35.01DataBeaverOtherwise that seems correct
23:35.02mreimerdon't pay attention to me while I'm talking on the phone :-P
23:36.33Rebeccais there any easy route to installing packages offline with ipkg?
23:37.13florianRebecca: just "ipkg install file"
23:38.43Rebeccahmmmmm.. ok
23:40.22florianfrance: hi
23:40.35franceflorian: hi
23:41.46Rebeccaum.. i think you missed the 'offline' part of my question
23:41.55Rebecca( florian )
23:42.43franceflorian: when you get a minute /msg me :-D
23:43.06DataBeaverThis gxine problem is driving me nuts...
23:44.51DataBeaverBacktrace points to pthread_mutex_lock - XrmQGetResource - XGetDefault - cairo_xlib_surface_set_drawable - (corrupt stack)
23:45.33DataBeaverSomeone seems to be handing a bad mutex pointer to pthread_mutex_lock from what I can tell.
