freemangordonwhat is worse is that it seems the behaviour has changed08:25
freemangordonso g_convert_with_iconv returns NULL instead of question marks08:28
freemangordonso we have a segfault as soon as we want to insert non-english text there08:28
freemangordonplease someone have a look https://github.com/maemo-leste/libhildon/commit/b9d266e9285866a5b48d767114916f585b97499808:53
freemangordonbencoh: Wizzup: humpelstilzchen[: uvos: is there something obviously wrong? ^^^08:54
bencohfreemangordon: how did it "got worse"?11:09
bencohget*11:10
freemangordonbencoh: see the commit message11:22
bencohYeah, I've read it, but I'm still wondering what happened for it to get worse and no longer work at all11:22
freemangordonreturns NULL, thus segfault11:23
freemangordonah, no idea why they changed it11:23
bencoh:)11:23
freemangordonon my ubuntu 12.04 it returns ????11:23
freemangordonnot null11:23
bencohis strncmp() really supposed to work on gchar* btw?11:35
bencohor is it some kind of hack?11:36

bencohah, nice11:47
hexagonwin_Hello. I tried Maemo Leste on QEMU and found it interesting and I would want to buy a device for it. Nokia N900 and Motorola Droid 4 seems well supported, but it seems like they are very hard to find. Is Maemo Leste well working on the PinePhone (without physical keyboard)? Also, I found out "Motorola Droid Bionic" is a similar device with the Droid 4 but is easier to find, is the only major difference non-working modem for ML? And what's the15:56
hexagonwin_major difference with Droid 4 hardware-wise? Please let me know if this is not the right place to ask. Thanks :D15:56
bencohhexagonwin_: bionic has no keyboard, apart from that it is quite close to droid416:00
hexagonwin_Oh, I thought it had one, lol. If you do know, could you please tell me where I can get a N900/D4? There seems to be almost none on e*ay.16:02
bencohI bought mine on ebay a long time ago (4~5y iirc)16:03
bencohWizzup hunts those from time to time, he talked about buying several units from a single seller recently, dunno where this stands16:04
bencoh(droid4 that is)16:05
hexagonwin_Alright, I would have to hunt ebay then. lol. How well does Maemo Leste work on devices without physical keyboard?16:06
hexagonwin_And, would it be a lot of work to get a device already working well on mainline linux to work in Maemo Leste? (ex : Bunch of 8916 phones like Galaxy A5)16:07
bencohif you already have Xorg running with accelerated graphics, porting leste might not be that hard16:12
bencohthe phone part is another story though16:12
bencoh(people managed to run leste in some container in android btw)16:13
bencohas for the absence of physical keyboard, I read recently that gtk2 apps have proper virtual keyboard support, gtk3/qt is still WIP (this might have changed since then)16:14
norayrroot@devuan-pinephone:/sys/bus/iio/devices# find . | grep -i lum16:20
norayrgives nothing16:20
norayrno ambient light sensor in new kernel16:20
norayrfor some reason.16:20
hexagonwin_It seems like the N900 is able to do screen-out to composite, is it impossible for Droid 4 to do screen-out using composite/rgb or any? Thanks.16:33
bencohdroid4 has a microhdmi port, you could always connect that to some hdmi->composite converter16:35
hexagonwin_Thanks a lot :)16:44
sicelohexagonwin_: on msm8916, maemo leste will definitely run18:05
_uvos_we support, the n900, the droid 4, the droid bionic and the pinephone well19:15
_uvos_keyboard input via vkb works in all toolkits, but on non gtk2 toolkits its usage is a bit wonky19:15
_uvos_even where the vkb works great non hwkbd phones are not ideal because the vkb is not that great and because while you can compensate small/ hard to use desktop uis using keyboard schortcuts and the arrow keys for navigation, this is not possible on the vkb19:17
_uvos_the droid 4 has gotten quite rare in ebay.19:18
_uvos_you can have ebay infrom you on search results via email19:19
_uvos_i would use that on us ebay if you want one19:19
_uvos_droid bionics are easy to get and cheep as chips19:19
_uvos_droid 3 are also somewhat easy to get, its hardware is almost the same as the d4 and leste works on it too, except that currently you cant change the screen brightness19:20
_uvos_and its more unsable than d419:20
lelIMbackK closed an issue: https://github.com/maemo-leste/bugtracker/issues/609 (hildon application manager: hide debug symbol packages)21:28
norayrWizzup: i believe pp kernel doesn't show (anymore) ambient light meter information in /sys/class/iio23:16
norayrshould i open an issue about it?23:16
uvosnorayr: explain symptoms23:17
