norayrfolks i think i found a problem01:21
norayrin /usr/include/dbus-1.0/dbus/dbus.h on line 29 it is included:01:22
norayr#include <dbus/dbus-arch-deps.h>01:22
norayrwhich doesn't exist.01:22
missMyN900sicelo: yes, you mentioned that there are no images for x86. However, apparently there are packages being built for the ML repos for x86 architectures. So my question is are those only for 64 bit (AMD64) or also i386 (really i686)?01:48
norayrmissMyN900: i did not ignore what you've said.02:06
norayrjust when i was trying to answer you were not around.02:06
norayrbut sorry i am working now and i need to sleep in a bit.02:06
missMyN900norayr: no problem. I just understand.02:12
missMyN900*I understand02:13
missMyN900hmmm https://phoenix.maemo.org/ does not list any x86 architecture at all02:27
missMyN900https://maedevu.maemo.org/images/virtual-machines/20220619/ there is an amd64 QEMU image02:27
missMyN900https://maedevu.maemo.org/pkgweb/ has amd64 as well02:28
missMyN900but no i386 :(02:28
missMyN900no easy way to avoid dealing with 32-bit UEFI on AMD64...02:28
missMyN900I guess I will at least start downloading Devuan Beowulf AMD64 also02:28
missMyN900https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/635939/efi-installation-of-devuan-beowulf02:32
missMyN900looks like you just need to install a 32 bit GRUB package from hte live CD02:32
missMyN900I was already downloading the live image anyway for convenience02:32
buZzmissMyN900: maybe https://leste.maemo.org/Image_Builder can be used?02:58
missMyN900someone (sorry, I do not remember if it was Wizzup or uvos) said installing Devuan was preferred on AMD6403:00
missMyN900I have already flashed the USB drive, so when I get around to it, I will try to install Devuan on the Atom tablet03:01
missMyN900then, I will see if I can succesfully turn it into ML03:01
missMyN900otherwise I will install Chimaera or maybe build a pmOS image03:01
buZzshould just be adding a repo03:02
buZzand installing some meta packages?03:02
buZzi think03:02
missMyN900yes, probably, I will see :)03:04
rafael2kjust realized libcamera has a gstreamer source08:38
rafael2k: )08:38
rafael2kbtw, sorry I already asked this... but any plans for updating ML to chimaera?08:44
freemangordonwe shall do it, no doubt09:16
freemangordonit is just that focus is on TP/calls09:16
freemangordonthe big issue there is with gconf09:16
Wizzupdsc_: the gtk rtcom code already does this for contacts+search10:04
Wizzupprogressively10:04
Wizzupuvos: in your ods you don't have the droid4 lte marked as us only10:05
Wizzupis that on purpose/10:05
uvos__Wizzup: yes that refers to the presence of lte hardware, not where it works10:22
uvos__the us only ones means that only the devices sold in us even have the lte modem10:22
uvos__but i gues the droid4s sold in europe dident have a lte modem either10:23
uvos__or a screen10:23
uvos__or a mainboard etc :P10:23
Wizzupok10:23
WizzupIt just kind of seems to suggest it might work in europe10:23
Wizzupis all10:23
uvos__sure yeah10:23
uvos__maybe should clarify it by relacing lte with lte hardware present10:24
uvos__*replaceing10:24
uvos__it should work in japan and some caribbian islands btw10:24
Wizzupok10:24
uvos__if wikipedia is to be belived wrt available bands10:24
Wizzupmaybe I should visit one of the dutch carribian islands :P10:25
uvos__:P10:25
mighty17[m]tmlind: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/arch/arm/boot/dts/omap4-mcpdm.dtsi is this just for twl6040? i have a different codec sooo :/10:36
rafael2kfreemangordon: understood - tks!10:39
rafael2kuvos__: in Brazil it will work10:40
rafael2k: )10:41
Wizzupwould be neat if someone got it to work10:42
rafael2kI don't really get what the problem is10:42
Wizzupit lacks a driver and pretty much everything else I think :)10:43
rafael2kright...10:43
rafael2k:/10:43
uvos__it dosent need mutch10:43
uvos__you need to input sim data10:43
uvos__there apears a cli utility on the the modem when you log in you should be able to use10:44
uvos__then it just presents a usb networking device10:44
uvos__(i uses the android usb thethereing infastructure)10:44
dsc_< Wizzup> dsc_: the gtk rtcom code already does this for contacts+search <== code?10:44
uvos__its really just a different android device with lte thats usb tethered to the rest of the phone10:44
WizzupI will need to verify but https://github.com/maemo-leste/rtcom-eventlogger-ui10:44
dsc_wait, you're talking about the searching of contacts, so that's most likely some external thing, no?10:45
uvos__so it should essantaly work (without ui)10:45
uvos__someone just needs to try it10:45
dsc_Wizzup: I'm talking specifically about the searching of messages, see also https://github.com/maemo-leste/conversations/issues/810:45
Wizzuppretty sure rtcom plugin for calls and messages also allow searching contacts10:45
Wizzupyeah searching of messages is a different story10:46
Wizzupuvos__: ok, ty10:46
rafael2kuvos__: nice phone! it would not be difficult to connect indeed10:54
buZzuvos__: isnt droid4 -completely- US only?11:02
buZzwasnt*11:03
rafael2kat least ITU Region 2...11:07
rafael2kit will certainly work11:07
rafael2k(aka - Americas)11:08
buZzno i mean, it wasnt sold -at all- outside US11:08
rafael2kah, sorry11:08
buZzthere was no EU version11:08
buZzthe only 'EU version' was just people who installed normal updates from VerySun and travelled around11:09
rafael2kyour are right, only US I think11:10
buZzright? thats why they are so 'rare' on ebay too11:10
rafael2kI could not find in Brazil's most common online shops either11:13
rafael2kjust took a look11:13
uvos__buZz: yes thats the joke, d4s in europe where sold without lte, display, mainboard, keyboard etc11:15
uvos__buZz: we did see a d4 with a german keyboard in germany on ebay once11:15
buZzuvos__: well, many german scientists moved to that nation to help them make more weapons after WW211:16
uvos__probubly a engeneering sample for a european release, that never came because motorola mobility was sold to google and restructured right after11:16
buZzmaybe some didnt even care enough to learn Usian11:16
rafael2kGerman and Usian are not so different languages11:18
rafael2k:P11:18
uvos__wie bitte!?11:18
buZzJa Genau11:18
buZzBlackwoodcherrypie anyone?11:18
rafael2kdoes the N900 have version with Cyrillic alphabet keyboard?11:28
rafael2ktrying to find one to practice my russian writing11:29
buZzN900 russian is a thing yeah11:34
rafael2kI even found a launch video in youtube11:38
rafael2k:P11:38
rafael2k- "the most important Nokia launch in 2009"11:38
rafael2kol' times11:38
dsc_xa)11:38
buZz^_^11:42
norayrso folks16:23
norayri found that file16:23
norayron arm64 it is in /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/dbus-1.0/include/dbus/dbus-arch-deps.h16:23
norayron amd64 it is in different location16:23
norayrand i guess on 32bit arm16:23
norayrso gcc doesn't find it.16:23
norayrwill tinker with it later again, just i understand that comes from debian and devuan.16:24
Wizzupdo you use pkg-config ?16:40
lelsanderfoobar opened a pull request: https://github.com/maemo-leste/rtcom-eventlogger/pull/1 (RTCOM_EL_OP_STR_LIKE)17:55
Wizzupfreemangordon: can you look?18:21
lelsanderfoobar synchronize a pull request: https://github.com/maemo-leste/rtcom-eventlogger/pull/1 (RTCOM_EL_OP_STR_LIKE)18:32
lelsanderfoobar synchronize a pull request: https://github.com/maemo-leste/rtcom-eventlogger/pull/1 (RTCOM_EL_OP_STR_LIKE)21:33
norayrfolks22:43
norayrso the file dbus-arch-deps.h is located in /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/dbus-1.0/include/dbus22:44
norayror /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/dbus-1.0/include/dbus/ on droid22:45
norayrhow would i #include it in source code?22:45
norayrto be presice /usr/include/dbus-1.0/dbus/dbus.h includes it as22:48
norayr#include <dbus/dbus-arch-deps.h>22:48
norayrbut that way it is not found.22:48
freemangordonyou shall use pkg-config22:49
freemangordonlike `pkg-config --cflags --libs dbus-1` in gcc comdline22:49
freemangordon*cmdline22:49
freemangordonor if it is autotools project, ask google on how to use  PKG_CHECK_MODULES in configure.ac22:50
norayrokay. just most of the header files are in /usr/include but this one, only one is in that strange path.22:59
norayrebay lists droid3 which has a lock code.23:05
norayris it feasible to hack? do i need to hack it at all?23:05
norayrdoes uvos know how to install leste on emmc on droid3 too?23:06
missMyN900norayr: I think D3 support is not that good yet23:11
missMyN900how about https://www.ebay.com/itm/113706311253 ?23:12
norayrmissMyN900: i wanted to tell you that i had a pinephone camera working on maemo leste23:13
missMyN900oh that is really cool23:13
norayrit was about a year ago and xorg was very luggy23:13
norayrbut i can package it23:13
norayri am very tired now but maybe even this night i will be able to23:13
missMyN900you don't really have to do it just for me if it a lot of work23:13
missMyN900PP camera is pretty bad anyway23:13
norayrbut then it'll take some days till they'll open a repo in extras and a builder.23:13
norayri actually like pp camera a lot.23:14
missMyN900my Z10 camera destroys it ;)23:14
norayri'll tell you why23:14
norayrfirst of all i like that it is so dumb.23:14
norayri love dumb cameras.23:14
norayrsecondly i love the megapixels app because it has a script to postprocess raw files.23:14
norayrand it shoots raw by default!23:14
missMyN900megapixels takes ages to save the image though23:14
missMyN900I tried it on pmOS 22.06 (just released)23:14
norayrso when i shoot with other cameras i then must postprocess everything with imagemagick and my LUT presets.23:15
missMyN900I could not open the DNGs in Plasma Mobile...23:15
missMyN900only the JPEGs23:15
norayrand i automated megapixels just to save the jpeg which i need.23:15
norayri don't need that generic jpeg it shoots by default. i need with my settings.23:15
norayrthat is why i love megapixels. and i actually love pinephone.23:15
missMyN900I prefer my Z10 camera, to be honest23:16
missMyN900it was on par with the iPhone 4S camera so not bad23:16
norayrbecause it is the device with the battery i can remove. i prefer to have two batteries with me, and feed it often, but know i have a device23:16
missMyN900much faster23:16
norayrwhich i can run completely open os.23:16
norayron.23:16
missMyN900actually I have 2 batteries for my Z10 as well :D23:16
missMyN900OS is not open but I know that it is not spying on me23:16
norayrhow do you know?23:17
missMyN900BB was not in the advertising business ;)23:17
missMyN900besides BB10 servers have been shut down23:17
norayrah, bb.23:17
missMyN900app store is closed23:17
missMyN900and I have it in flight mode almost always23:17
missMyN900and no SIM card inserted23:17
norayryeah i know. my wife uses bb bold. very old. i wrote a program in oberon which moved her google abook to bb.23:18
missMyN900Z10 is completely different though ;)23:18
missMyN900BB10 uses Qt like Sailfish and Harmattan23:18
norayryeah i remembered i checked it out.23:18
missMyN900it is kind of Harmattan inspired like SFOS23:18
norayrand i wanted to say i like my compiler more because it is not in gcc infrastructure.23:19
missMyN900oh why do not like GCC?23:19
norayri mean for me being a gcc part... well it is a good sign that maybe the compiler will be used more, be part of linux distributions etc23:19
missMyN900you think it is too big?23:19
missMyN900you prefer tcc as well? :P23:20
norayrbut it is very complicated, and they change their internals often. they try to prevent development of forks.23:20
norayrif you have a fork with own backend or frontend it is very hard to backport all the changes.23:20
norayrwhatever, it is big.23:20
missMyN900I also learned about OBNC23:20
norayrllvm is even worse, because the license. for me.23:20
missMyN900it is interesting23:21
norayrmy compiler, unfortunately generates c. but it can use tcc,  which is a simple compiler. it uses gcc by default though.23:21
dreamerwhat's wrong with the license?23:21
norayrlet's not start it, i cannot tolerate bsd licenses.23:21
missMyN900I think norayr prefers GPL vs BSD/MIT etc23:21
dreamerlol23:21
missMyN900I am not that hard core FOSS, to be honest23:22
* dreamer neither23:22
norayrbut i had another compiler which generated assembly. it is now published but for about a decade i was not sure if i can publish it so i put more effort23:22
dreamerwell I consider bsd/mit/isc FOSS23:22
norayrinto the other source tree which i was able to distribute under gpl.23:22
dreamerthey are compatible with GPL23:22
dreamerbut they simply allow proprietary changes. in some cases that's fine imo23:22
norayrthey allow corporations to improve and not participate in evolution.23:22
norayrthat's why unix itself was fragmented but neither branch particularly gained anything.23:23
missMyN900the success of FOSS has also led to some undesirable things occurring IMHO23:23
dreamerfor "infrastructure" I do agree that it's better to have GPL-type licensing to keep common infra as commons23:23
norayrthere are cool changes but those changes die in their own branches.23:23
missMyN900i.e. move from companies selling software to things like data mining/collection23:23
missMyN900it can be hard to make money with FOSS (in a somewhat ethical way) as well23:24
norayrsure. no idea how to do that.23:24
missMyN900GPL is a better business model though than BSD ;)23:24
norayrwell some can. i like it when they sell 'conversations' app on google play.23:25
missMyN900just look at Qt or MuPDF23:25
norayrbut it is open and available on fdroid for free.23:25
missMyN900those are GPL23:25
norayror ardour devs sell builds for money.23:25
missMyN900Osmand has something similar23:25
missMyN900full version is free on F-Droid but costs money in the Play Store23:25
dreameryeah people saying GPL/FOSS cannot be commercial do not understand it ;)23:25
norayryes very cool. gpl does not prohibit selling software.23:25
missMyN900I agree but it can be harder than just selling proprietary software23:26
dreamernow ardour devs are not rolling in money or anything, but they have a significant following and are able to make ends meet23:26
norayrit doesn't even prohibit having changes and not sharing those changes.23:26
missMyN900and I consider selling closed source software much more ethical than what Google etc are doing23:26
norayrit only says if you publish binary with your changes you also need to distribute the source code with the same license.23:26
dreamernorayr: well GPL does, in a way. for private changes that's fine. but if you try to do anything with your GPL changes you are obliged to publish23:26
dreamerif someone requests to see the code you legally have to give it23:27
missMyN900I prefer closed source BB10 to Google Android with Play Services. Maybe that makes me a heretic ;)23:27
missMyN900of course, Nokia/Maemo was even better :D :(23:27
norayrdreamer: if i use it in my company i think i don't need to publish it.23:28
norayranyway if it is that way i like it even more.23:28
norayrmissMyN900: i was not able to use n900 because both my n900's died. with usb problem.23:28
norayrwhich cannot be repaired.23:28
missMyN900:(23:28
norayrbut someone presented me two devices.23:28
norayri gave one to the dev who was very inspired of maemo work, i had lots of hope in him, but he disappeared.23:29
missMyN900at least you have D423:29
norayrthe other i would like to use as a camera, and also to compare how the apps were working on fremantle, and how do they behave on leste.23:29
missMyN900that must be a decent replacement23:29
norayrcurrently i am porting three apps i think.23:29
missMyN900of course nothing will ever be the same as an N900...23:29
norayrand i love fcamera. it is the best camera ever.23:29
norayri think someone can make the camera work on leste. the drivers are here.23:30
norayrthe app is available.23:30
norayri think someone who understands in v4l can make it work.23:30
norayrjust it's not me.23:30
norayrmissMyN900: expect a megapixels build from me. i didn't package it because someone in chat said someone else does it.23:31
norayrand if someone else was doing it i assumed they'd do it better than me.23:31
norayrso i didn't continue.23:31
norayrthen my sdcard died and i lost every work which i didn't push to github.23:31
missMyN900ok I will gladly test it if it is coming in the near future23:31
missMyN900but I am thinking of selling my Pinephone23:31
norayrgreat. i think it'll be laggy but it'll work. because it was luggy but it was working.23:32
missMyN900I will try to install ML on the Atom tablet23:32
norayri did photos with megapixels under pinephone myself.23:32
missMyN900if that doesn't work I may get a DB23:32
norayrjust i was running it from console.23:32
missMyN900I am not that happy with the PP overall and it is still worth something now23:32
missMyN900if I sell it I can buy a ThinkPenguin USB LTE modem that is Linux compatible23:33
norayryeah i am also thinking of using it on my old x86 computer which looks like flash drive, and connects to hdmi on tvset.23:33
missMyN900oh it probably also has such an Atom inside ;)23:33
norayryes yes.23:34
missMyN900are going to create a 10 ft version of Hildon :D23:34
norayri think it is 12 years old.23:34
norayrit runs latest debian now.23:34
missMyN900(10 ft refers to distance from a TV)23:34
norayr(:23:34
missMyN900Plasma has a "Big Screen" version23:35
missMyN900it is available on pmOS23:35
missMyN900you could build a pmOS with Plasma Big SCreen as well23:35
missMyN900*image23:35
missMyN900with pmbootstrap23:35
norayryes, btw what is that tool?23:35
missMyN900pmbootstrap creates custom pmOS images23:35
missMyN900any architecture, any interface23:36
missMyN900you can even add packages23:36
norayris it available somewhere? i have read that it is mentioned in the manual for that nexus s i have here.23:36
missMyN900Nexus S manual?23:36
missMyN900You mean pmOS wikip age?23:36
norayrminute23:36
missMyN900I have never used it but I have read the wiki page and am i nterested in it23:36
norayrhttps://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Samsung_Nexus_S_(samsung-crespo)23:36
missMyN900https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Installation_guide23:37
missMyN900yes23:37
missMyN900check that page I linked to23:37
norayrokay thank you23:37
norayrlet me also check your ebay link.23:37
norayri actually got one droid3. on the ebay photo i did not notice that the screen is cracked.23:38
missMyN900:(23:38
norayralso it was like it fell in to the bucket filled with glue.23:38
missMyN900you can also join #postmarketos on OFTC network, by the way23:38
norayrand then i washed it carefully, spent hours on it.23:38
norayri am actually installing maemo on it now.23:38
norayrdownloading images.23:38
norayrand i like it so much.23:39
norayrit is much more beautiful than droid4.23:39
norayryeah i tried to join it, but i don't understand, probably my 'biboumi' xmpp->irc gateway doesn't do ssl connections, and that channel required ssl.23:39
norayri am joined #sailfishos there via my gateway.23:40
missMyN900yes, I think it requires SSL/TLS23:40
norayrthis all will be fixed when i move my server from funtoo to gentoo, but that is even more offtopic.23:40
norayrbtw, gentoo, which was doing eudev old udev fork to be free of systemd23:42
missMyN900pmOS 22.06 is very unstable on my PP at least though23:42
norayrnow gave up23:42
missMyN900just a heads up23:42
missMyN900noooooo23:42
norayrthey created small udev package called systemd-udev or something like that.23:42
missMyN900at least Alpine does not depend on it23:42
norayrso they added three packages named systemd-something23:42
norayrbut alpine has musl...23:42
missMyN900Alpine (and therefore pmOS) uses mdev from Busybox23:42
norayrdevuan also doesn't depend on it.23:43
missMyN900oh that is good23:43
norayrvoid linux is using eudev by gentoo23:43
norayrso gentoo is still using openrc23:43
missMyN900I am running Alpine 3.16 on one laptop23:43
missMyN900very lightweight setup23:43
norayrbut they got some source from systemd and created their own small utilities/services.23:43
norayryou know, pmos was sooo slow on my pp.23:43
norayrand i don't know what to blame it on except than on musl.23:44
missMyN900honestly, it is Plasma/Phosh23:44
missMyN900no, it is not musl23:44
norayrsame phosh on manjaro or mobian was much faster.23:44
missMyN900I think they have a newer kernel23:44
norayrso sincerely i don't understand23:44
missMyN900ML uses Mobian kernel AFAIK too23:44
norayralso musl is not gpl and the creator has an article no how he dislikes gpl.23:44
missMyN900for the PP23:44
norayri think no. rafael2k contributes patches to ml kernel.23:45
missMyN900oh that does not bother me too much23:45
norayrso i think it is a separate kernel. mainline with patches.23:45
missMyN900and there is only a limited number of choices for systemd-free Linux distros23:45
missMyN900Alpine has never failed me23:45
norayryeah it looks minimalistic.23:46
norayri also liked (from far away) k1ss linux23:47
norayrbut i think it is practically dead.23:47
norayrsorry i will disconnect and connect shortly.23:48
missMyN900Plasma is faster/smoother on 22.06 though23:48
missMyN900but it (or Wayland) is very unstable23:48
norayrnever liked qt or kde.23:55
norayri loved gnome123:55
norayrbut even then it was very heavy for me.23:55
norayri felt that ppl who develop this things have big, huge screens.23:55
dreamernorayr: yes you do23:55
norayrand i had i think 640x480 or 800x600 screens.23:55
dreamernorayr: you would be violating the GPL then23:56
dreamerI mean, not just about using the code. depends on what the code is/does23:56
norayralso to me the experience of kde felt very much like replicating windows ideas.23:56
