00:13.18Jare_vadimq_: yep, i was in the same situation a couple of weeks ago, but then i thought it shouldn't be too hard for me to write some scripts for using sip via an openvpn tunnel. And now here i am doing a much bigger project ;)
00:15.15vadimq_Jare_: hehehe :-) Tends to go that way for me as well. Ok, I'll try to give it a try this weekend, and maybe we can cooperate on it a bit if I can find the time
00:16.03Jare_vadimq_: my scripts only control starting/stopping the openvpn process/processes, so imo those options should be configured in the openvpn tunnel settings. I don't know if openvpn supports defining the mac address of the virtual interface without scripting, but tap and dhcp should definitely work out of the box

02:15.55DocScrutinizerhell, I'm not trusting Nokia anymore, not even going to install a silly xterm update :-S
02:21.07DocScrutinizerI mean, let's assume I paid lots of money for that device, and I took my time to check *thoroughly* if each and every aspect of the OS meets my needs. No they come and push some updates onto that device which will break properties I carefully evaluated as working, even worse they tell me they are "fixing things" by doing so. Am I entitled to return that device for full refund then? may I even sue them to compensate the scattering of all
02:21.08DocScrutinizerthe work I invested into this platform so far?

02:26.02DocScrutinizerstill any potential commercial developer must be crazy to opt for this platform, when they never know if at all and when then for how long a $random_app will work until it gets broken its legs by Nokia pushing out a new policy. Potentially man-years of work were completely for the /dev/null
02:27.27DocScrutinizerfigure a 50 man team working 4 weeks on a high end game, just to learn Nokia decides in 4 weeks they lock down access to some GFX bits which will be mandatory for that game
02:28.53DocScrutinizersidenote last page on local newpaper: "Nokia platsec killed another company of 50"
02:29.49DocScrutinizerwell, I guess that's what's been referred to by the quote in the middle of this factoid:
02:29.51DocScrutinizer~aegis
02:29.51infobothttp://www.developer.nokia.com/Community/Wiki/Harmattan:Developer_Library/Developing_for_Harmattan/Harmattan_security/Security_guide , or "The purpose of this framework is: ... to make sure that the platform meets the requirements set by third party software that requires a safe execution environment.", or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trusted_Computing#Criticism, or  http://en.qi-hardware.com/w/images/1/10/ME_382_LockedUpTechnology2.gif
02:37.52DocScrutinizerall the "third party" software I ever seen needed one thing first and most: a STABLE WELL DEFINED execution environment that doesn't behave differently than documented or reasonably to expect and esp that doesn't change to the worse in that regard with each new update
02:40.59DocScrutinizermerlin1991: you checked the manifest file against that of last version?
02:41.19merlin1991nope
02:41.44merlin1991I suppose yours is still the old so I can pastebin and you can pastebin a diff
02:42.16DocScrutinizerI mean the fact it comes with actually useful improvements doesn't preclude that it brings a worse policy as well
02:42.43merlin1991where would I find the manifest?
02:43.01DocScrutinizergood question - where's the friggin aegis manpage?
02:43.41DocScrutinizerI guess you could find something legible in the .deb
02:44.31DocScrutinizerI doubt I have the old deb pkg on this coffin here
02:45.25DocScrutinizerthere's that restok file somewhere? would it be the right place to look at?

02:54.32DocScrutinizeryup
02:56.07villagerI don't think the terminal would have aegis restrictions, any restrictions on what you can do would probably be imposed by the shell spawned by the terminal, not by the terminal itself... after all, they'd want any restrictions to also apply to shells spawned by sshd and such, right?
02:56.28DocScrutinizersure
02:58.22DocScrutinizerI'd love to say "just kidding" but actually I'm not, though I'm aware this particular update probably is "safe"
02:58.57DocScrutinizerwhile OTOH I don't mind anymore, I gave up on all this

02:59.55villagerwonder if it's Mr. Flop trying to restrict the openness of the platform
03:01.44DocScrutinizertrying?? seems they are already there
03:05.50*** join/#harmattan kinncj (~kinncj@bd2196a5.virtua.com.br)
03:06.19DocScrutinizerwe already got a situation where anything that's not specified and exported in recent API of QML rather is sth that already is implicitly and shortly will be explicitly prohibited
03:10.51DocScrutinizerand you can scratch generic Qt stuff like dbus-send() in that equation, as for example you could send a dbus msg to mce to "please make indicator LED flash a pattern that'S already predefined in /etc/mce/mce.ini, KTHNX" but, surprise surprise, this is deemed "dangerous" by aegis and thus won't work though all the bits are in place and documented as good as it gets with Nokia regarding docs
03:12.32dymaxionHi, i'm plagued by constant 100% cpu use due to tracker,  I can't seem to stop it draining my battery in a couple of hours flat. :-(  ideas?  I tried removing the .cache/tracker directory and rebooting didn't help..    it was down to 2% cpu this morning, then it just kicked off again don't know what triggered it, maybe opening contacts app ? i dunno
03:13.56DocScrutinizerknown problem, unknown solution, unclear cause
03:14.26dymaxion:-(   darn... reset phone i read somewhere didn't help either...
03:14.43dymaxionmaybe a clean flash :-(  which means setup all over again ..grr
03:15.13dymaxionanyway I can disable the tracker daemon?  is it there to speed up file access / db / or is it integral to the system?
03:18.57DocScrutinizerit's a core component
03:19.03DocScrutinizer*ALAS*
03:19.14DocScrutinizersilly idea
03:19.39villagere.g. contacts are stored in tracker itself I think
03:19.56DocScrutinizerleme put it this way: QML doesn't even ship a file picker dialog any more
03:20.15bjv!
03:20.20bjvandroidization?
03:21.25DocScrutinizerkinda, or redoing the worms in $fruitphone, while the worms there were finally killed
03:22.33bjvah well.
03:24.35DocScrutinizerI suggest you pester Nokia care center ;-)
03:34.28dymaxionvillager, I guess that would make sense, that launching contacts triggered tracker 100% :-(

17:26.21lardman|homeI bet when I eventually find the problem, it will be the smallest most trivial thing
17:27.27SpeedEvilNaah. I bet it'll be really important, and time consuming requiring rewriting the whole platform.
17:27.44lardman|home:)
17:28.15lardman|homedoubtful, I really can't see what it is, the input data are as close as possible to identical, but in one case it works, in the other it doesn't
17:28.32SpeedEvilHmm
17:31.37lardman|homevery odd, in once case am scanning for barcodes from jpegs saved by the camera app, and that works fine, in the other am scanning for barcodes from QVideoFrames
17:32.13lardman|homebut in both cases the data to be scanned are identical in format, 8-bit grayscale after conversion, proven by writing the raw data out from both apps
17:32.58lardman|homeframe size doesn't matter either, have saved data from the QVideoFrame version to a jpeg, then scanned it and it's decoded fine
17:34.02SpeedEvilAre you sure you're actually decoding what you think you're decoding?
17:34.19SpeedEvilIt's not doing a blank frame or something wierd?
17:34.56lardman|homeno, I've written the data out to a file and it's the right format and contains the image
17:36.56SpeedEvil...
17:36.58SpeedEvilOdd
17:38.04lardman|homeThe confounding factor is that ZXing (or rather the example code) uses a class to convert from the raw input data to a Luminance image
17:38.23lardman|homeI have been saving the getMatrix() output (i.e. a large chunk)
17:38.45lardman|homebut I wonder if the ZXing code actually reads a row at a time, I should double check that is producing the correct output
17:39.03lardman|homes/example code/example code and therefore the code I've written to use the lib
17:40.36lardman|homehmm, I wonder if that is it, I've spotted a mistake in that code already

18:43.08lardman|homeas well as raking the leaves, doing the shopping, watching some of the myriad programmes I've recorded about engineering stuff and have not been allowed to watch ;)
18:43.12ajalkaneLucky you. I'm gonna do a coding frenzy with help of alcohol and other assorted enhancing drugs now as wife is away and children are asleep.
18:43.30lardman|homealcohol helps the children sleep? ;)
18:43.52ajalkaneDon't give me THAT good ideas
18:43.56lardman|homelol
18:44.50ajalkaneSo your baby is at the age when it smashes with hand everything in sight, trying to do a mess?
18:48.48lardman|homewell she grabs things, or tries to, and normally leaves you with fingernail scars :)
18:49.15lardman|homesurprising how sharp those things are!
18:49.37ajalkaneYeah. It's like evolution made them a vicious predator.
18:50.23lardman|homewell vicious if you happen to lean over her anyway, not rolling over yet, but she looks like she'd like to be doing more than lying on her back
18:50.34ajalkaneEven as a 1 year old my son is efficient at scratching me. He studies my nose, grabs it, and hurts me with scratching.
18:50.49lardman|home:D
18:51.11lardman|homethumb in nostril grab
18:51.13ajalkaneShe'll be crawling in no time when the interest shows
18:51.45lardman|homeyeah, amazing how quickly things change - neck really quite strong now and was really floppy a couple of weeks back
18:51.46ajalkaneI every time fall for it. He looks so cute studying, and it's just a little baby, so I let it grab my nose. Ouch...

18:53.45ajalkanehehe yeah... well good luck, study fast :)
19:03.04dm8tbrjavispedro: I'm starting to figure out the LiveView. So far it's not really 'just a framebuffer' (although I suspect you could emulate that), but a quite nice framework
19:03.34lardman|homedm8tbr: so can you replace the applications, or at least tell it what to display?
19:03.41javispedrodm8tbr: if you have to send the notifications as plain text, I envisioned that could happen and sowatch supports that
19:03.49lardman|homeso you're not limited to what comes with it that is
19:04.00dm8tbrjavispedro: yes, I can send it plain text notifications
19:04.19dm8tbrlardman|home: it's more like a minimalistic 'ui framework'
19:04.47dm8tbrI dropped a video the other day, need to still write a blog post...
19:05.04GeneralAntillesjavispedro, is there any way to get MMS notifications to display the text?
19:05.05dm8tbrhttp://www.bfst.de/liveview/
19:05.19GeneralAntillesThis stupid "Group MMS" shit that iOS 5 has got is infuriating.
19:05.27lardman|homethanks dm8tbr
19:05.33javispedroGeneralAntilles: auiu, you need to trigger a data connection to fetch MMS contents
19:05.35lardman|homeGAN, you've not defected have you?
19:05.47GeneralAntilleslardman|home, no, everybody I know has iOS
19:05.55dm8tbrvideo quality stinks, but that's the best I could do at that time
19:06.05GeneralAntillesand there's this stupid new feature called Group MMS which binds a bunch of different contacts into a single "chat"
19:06.05lardman|homenp
19:06.39dm8tbrwhat you see is that python example code
19:06.52ajalkaneI don't understand why'd anyone use MMS's at all with smartphone. At least in Finland they're quite expensive.
19:07.18dm8tbrhttp://code.google.com/p/adqmisc/source/browse/trunk/liveview/LiveViewServer.py
19:07.18GeneralAntillesPretty much free with the plan I've got.
19:08.22ajalkaneIn that case they might be convenient. I miss the ability to compress videos/pictures when sharing with e-mail with N950. MMS does that.
19:08.25lardman|homeN950 is odd with MMS, I get a message telling me a website that I can use to download the message, then the message itself
19:08.31lardman|homeprobably Vodafone's fault
19:08.44ajalkaneSounds like vodafone. I get the MMSs directly.
19:09.23GeneralAntillesHow do people cope with the fake multitasking on iOS?
19:09.30GeneralAntillesand whatever it is they've got on Android.
19:09.44ajalkaneThey fake satisfaction. It happens.
19:10.15lardman|homeAndroid does multitasking doesn't it? I do have the fact you don't quite know whether something is open or not though
19:10.21dm8tbrlardman|home: have you ever sent a MMS from your N950?
19:10.31lardman|homeNot that I've seen Android for a while on my Tab, been testing Nemo
19:10.46lardman|homedm8tbr: yeah I tried and it was rejected
19:10.54lardman|homemight have been the phone I was sending it to, not sure
19:10.59ajalkaneThe mobile OS landscape feels a lot like the end of 80's computers. With all that bullshit co-operative multitasking and other tricks.
19:11.15dm8tbrlardman|home: because many networks determine MMS capability based on if the device ever sent an MMS

19:54.29javispedrothe battery life on my N950 seems to be inversely proportional to the number of dead pixels on the LCD
19:54.53javispedroI now have around ~24 dead pixels and battery doesn't last through an afternoon
19:55.15MohammadAGLOL
19:55.23ajalkanekind strange... you'd think they'd optimize dead pixels to not use power :)
19:55.56MohammadAGDoes the screen suck that much?
19:56.19javispedroI don't have the data
19:56.47javispedrowhat seems to be true is that once you get the first dead pixel it's game over, as the blob starts growing and even moving

20:02.31ajalkaneI wouldn't diss on android too much. After the Harmattan/MeeGo holocaust it's the only semi-open platform left.
20:02.34GeneralAntilleslardman
20:02.37GeneralAntillesWorth it.
20:02.49lardman|homeUbuntu would be pretty easy to run, but the apps aren't finger optimised, but then I need to get opengles hw accel working for nemo to be useful, catch 22
20:03.18lardman|homeajalkane: sure, and it works pretty well tbh, I've had a Galaxy Tab for more than a year now
20:03.30lardman|homeajalkane: if only it weren't Java....
20:03.36djszapiit is working pretty well, nowadays we even have Qt...
20:03.40djszapiit is not just java...
20:03.53lardman|homemore faffing to do native stuff though isn't there?
20:04.15javispedroeven the blackberry has Qt, and no one seems to mention it
20:04.25javispedroand unlike Android they even did the port on their own
20:04.27djszapiactually, even qtopengl works.
20:04.43lardman|homeGeneralAntilles: you have one? I'm not sure about the up front cost
20:04.48ajalkanelardman|home: yeah my wife has Galaxy SII. It's fine. I vastly prefer Harmattan still. But in two years, if there's no Harmattan successors it's where I'll go to. The Java thing irks me too. Such a waste of CPU cycles on limited devices.
20:05.30djszapimuch faster than meego was on N900
20:05.37lardman|homeajalkane: I've no idea what I'll do re mobile, but Tablet-wise I'm still keen on Linux, somehow
20:05.45ajalkaneQt on Android is a bit annoying as long as you have to download megaloads of libraries to run every Qt program
20:06.17lardman|homeI'd not realised Qt worked on Android actually, will have to have a look-see
20:06.30ajalkaneI'm keen on Linux an open-source ad infinitum. The mobile landscape just looks barren regarding that, but Android is the best choise after Harmattan
20:06.31djszapiworks pretty well, seriously.
20:06.42lardman|homedo you have a link?

20:07.06ajalkanedjszapi: Have you tested how big a simple application gets with Qt on Android?
20:07.17djszapiajalkane: I did make a qt application for android
20:07.20lardman|homePresumably compiled for Android? Most of my stuff uses C/C++ backend libraries which aren't part of Android, which is the stumbling block
20:07.36djszapiajalkane: at any rate...it is not any different than kde apps on harmattan ...
20:07.40ajalkanedjszapi: you remember how big the package gwas?
20:07.45lardman|homejavispedro: I've never actually used nor even held an iPhone
20:07.46ajalkane* was
20:08.17djszapiajalkane: like 3 MB
20:08.33ajalkanedjszapi: okay that's not too bad
20:08.53djszapibut it was qtcore only, and qtgui is 11 MB
20:08.59djszapibut still you are under 20 MB
20:09.21djszapiand declarative is 3.6
20:09.25djszapiyou do not need the monster gui
20:10.09ajalkaneThat starts to be pretty hefty. If you could have shared libraries, download them once, use with every app, then it would be fine.
20:10.35ajalkaneDon't know if that's possible in Android Market
20:10.35djszapithat is not gonna work in  practice
20:10.53ajalkaneThat's what I was afraid of
20:11.28djszapiwhy is < 10 MB hefty ?
20:11.43djszapialso, you can make optimizations pretty easily.
20:11.53djszapido not install the stuff it is already there.
20:12.52ajalkaneThe biggest games I've downloaded are around that size. It's not acceptable for simple applications.
20:13.38djszapifail to see why...
20:13.45djszapithe same things you need on harmattan anyway
20:14.04djszapiexcept that you even more stuff installed by default than needed for your stuff
20:14.07ajalkaneIf every Harmattan application I downloaded was about 10MB, I'd have run out of space already
