Wizzupfreemangordon: so the service providers have gconf keys for a custom ui, like icons, markup text, etc, this is also what I used in my video a few days ago11:46
Wizzupthe problem is that these are stored in this path: /system/osso/connectivity/srv_provider/%s/custom_ui/%s (format with service_type, service_id)11:46
WizzupSo there is no way to set the tor icon for the tor service type, unless you set it for every existing service_id11:47
WizzupI don't think that makes sense , and I don't want to implement duplicating the keys for no reason for every service_id (which is really just a configuration for a service)11:47
Wizzupfreemangordon: this is iap_common_get_service_gconf_path btw11:48
Wizzupso my suggestion was to add something like /system/osso/connectivity/srv_provider/%s/default_custom_ui11:48
WizzupI'm becoming more inclined to just have the same icons for every service_id though, and not allow for the even further customisation for now11:59
inky_we don't have tablet mode applet, right?13:06
inky_i have no sim card, but i know that modem announces itself to the networks.13:06
inky_so i'd like it to not even announce.13:06
buZzwhat does 'offline mode' do for you inky_ ?13:23
inky_pbpwhere does leste store internet connections information?13:51
inky_pbpi'd like to back it up from time to time13:51
inky_pbpif i just backup my home, will the connections be backed up too?13:52
parazydInstall gconf-editor and have a look around as normal user13:54
parazydEverything's there13:54
parazydFrom CLI you can use gconftool13:54
Wizzupinky_: so you mean you want the modem offline14:24

joergwait what? modem doesn't announce itself to networks particularly if it has no SIM. AFAIK14:48
Wizzupfreemangordon: see https://github.com/maemo-leste/connui-common/pull/114:48
lelMerlijnWajer opened a pull request: https://github.com/maemo-leste/connui-internet/pull/3 (status-menu-item: use iap_common_get_service_properties)14:53
Wizzupfreemangordon: and https://github.com/maemo-leste/connui-internet/pull/314:53
joergthe only way to make the modem start tra<nsmitting without SIM is to start a 911 call15:06

joergunless somebody fucked up the fundamental cellular air protocol specs since they been established15:08
joerglook at it this way: a modem without SIM would not even know at *which* network it should "announce itself"15:10
inky_pbpWizzup, yes always offline. i am not doing anything criminal but i don't like that 'they' see where am i.15:12
inky_pbpso i never use cellular. my xa2 is in offline mode. first thing i did with pinephone before turning it on was to switch the modem off.15:12
inky_pbpjoerg, i believe i have read a former engineer on diaspora who wrote modem drivers, and he was saying it announces itself to all towers. anyway, good to hope it doesn't.15:13
inky_pbpso on xa2 i don't have a sim card but i also keep it in airplane mode.15:14
inky_pbpsailfish allows airplane + wifi, but maemo needs tablet mode.15:15
inky_pbpparazyd, thank you, so everything is in home. great! i know gconf-editor, used it before. thanks for the tip!15:15
Wizzupinky_pbp: triangulation does happen, but that requires you to be connected to the network15:18
_inkygood to know.15:18
_inkybtw i do understand what uvos says, and i do consider abook + telepathy a killer feature that i really need. and i enjoy it on sailfish.15:19
_inkyand it was suggested to uvos to look at manjaro posh15:20
joerginky_pbp: I wouldn't know the protocol the towers would accept to receive and process such SIM-less registration15:20
_inkyso i think maemo is much better15:20
_inkythan manjaco posh15:20
_inkyeven now.15:20
_inkybecause it's devuan, without systemd integration15:20
_inkybecause it is very leightweight15:21
_inkyeven now posh uses wayland, but i use x forwarding with maemo15:21
_inkymaemo is really cool.15:22
joerginky_pbp: for reference, I worked on modem firmware, so that probably tops that diaspora driver author ;-)15:24
inky_pbpjoerg, thanks!15:25
joergalso note, the whole thing changes massively as soon as you initiate a 911 call15:26
inky_pbpgood to know.15:26
inky_pbpback to abook, it is such a pleasure to scroll through the address book, and see that this person is busy in jabber - don't write them, and this person is online.15:28
inky_pbpi am really surprised that it existsed only on maemo and still exists only on sailfish.15:29
inky_pbpwell may be on nemo as well? didn't try nemo for some time.15:29
inky_pbpbut i really like modules, and i don't understand the details good enough.15:30
Wizzupinky_: agreed18:01
konaSweet, repo updates fixed geary.19:26
konaI don't suppose there's already a Maemoized mail app, though?19:27
WizzupWe haven't ported over modest yet, although some people did make a start with that, there is another mail app, but I don't think it's hildonized19:28
lelMerlijnWajer synchronize a pull request: https://github.com/maemo-leste/connui-common/pull/1 (iap-common: add default_custom_ui provider parsing)19:29
inkyi searched to understand better what this 'hildonized' means but didn't understand. so hildot is a gtk2 fork, right?19:37
inkyand probably it has elements for menus19:37
inkyand this notification yellow line19:38
inkyso i probably teed ho litk ho libhildon instead of libgtk? or to both?19:43
inkydoes ribhildon complement or replace gtk?19:43
Wizzupkona: if you want to work on it, see https://github.com/0mark/modest4leste19:43
inkytdat what i did not undershand.19:43
inkysorry for typing errors19:44
konaI kinda do, wizzup19:45
konaHoping to score a pinephone kb too when they release :)19:45
inkyi'd better use droid to type. just the letters are small and hard to read19:46
WizzupIt might not be super hard, I just haven't really looked at it, but the repo I linked above has lots of details19:46
konaIs the repo owner still active?19:48
Wizzupkona: not sure if he's around on irc19:53
konaOk, I'll reach out and see.19:55
inky__It is me r droid.19:56
inky__From19:56
inky__Ok again typing problems19:57
konaHigher signal to noise ratio, though19:57
inky__So should one link to libhildon instead of gtk or to both?19:58
konaI'm still daily driver on Android19:58
inky__I cannot use android. Mostly sailfish, and trying to use droid more. Got pinephone and motivated to bring more software to maemo to use.19:59
konaSame question,  I saw some comment about gtk2 vs gtk3 on the Maemo Leste wiki, too.19:59
konaSame, I just couldn't find a sailfish phone.20:00
konaTried lineage for a week on a spare oneplus and might flash it on this s10e in a week or two20:01
Wizzupwell, I think a lot of exciting stuff is around the corner :)20:01
Wizzuphaving the mail client would be welcome20:01
WizzupI think soon we'll have some kind of working phone calls, and audio setup on pp, droid4, n900, and there's the maemo contacts coming now20:01
konaI'm also messing with the Bluetooth firmware on pinephone,  because on screen keyboard has drawing issues, but maybe I should debug that instead20:02
kona(Specifically one or more rows don't always render, have to switch to symbols and back to workaround)20:03
Wizzupyeah, the pinephone 3d situation is a bit saddening20:03
Wizzupwe focus a bit more on the droid4 and n900 currently20:03
Wizzupalthough I think the pinephone 3d has improved20:04
inky__Kona, sailfish works on sony devices. Still maemo is more like a normal linux with normal kernel. So i like it more. It already made a lot of proress and now is promising.20:04
inky__Ok i got used to small font of hexchat on droid.20:05
konaYes, I also prefer marm20:05
konaMaemo* since os200720:05
inky__Aaaaa, found a way to increase it. Yay.20:06
inky__I used it since os2008, still havetwo n810s20:06
inky__I think those are very beautiful.20:06
inky__Unfortunately mainline kernel doesnt work on them.20:07
konaMine are somewhere in a box since ssl/tls switch. Lovely machines.20:07
inky__Yesterday i was talking to someone who was very sceptical about linux devices20:08
konaI don't think mainline supports HTC vision, either, and I think mine has bad flash, so I picked I a pinephone20:08
konaSkeptical how?20:11
inky_and he asked if i tried to use ios.20:11
inky_and i told him - how can i use something that will cut internet connection of my programs?20:11
inky_and showed him that i have full multitasking on maemo.20:12
inky_when you press the left upper button, and see all windows, not just screenshots of them, like in case of android, but real updated windows.20:12
inky_one of those can be mplayer.20:12
inky_which shows video in background.20:12
konaWas he interested?20:20
inky_well it was completely different perspective for him.20:20
inky_but people are reluctant to believe in things that aren't widespread.20:21
kona"We fear change"20:23
konaThat's OK.  Less demand on pinephones and droids for us :)20:24
inky_heh. (:20:24
sicelokona: hildonized mail application is apparently Trojita21:35
konaIs that in devuan already?21:36
sicelohere, https://github.com/maemo-leste-extras/Trojita21:37
siceloi haven't used it myself though21:37
sicelokona: in other works, `apt install trojita` on your leste device should work21:40
sicelos/works/words/21:41
konaWill check it out. Modest feels more... Maemo, though:)21:41
siceloi agree :-)21:41
sicelobut ..21:41
konaWorking is working and I could focus on something else? :)21:45
siceloi think you can definitely work on modest.21:47
