uvos__i wonder if preemtrt would help with the hard realtime requirements of the voice codec09:55
uvos__then again it would distroy the battery most likely09:55
uvos__to bad omap3 dosent have the m3 cores of omap409:56
uvos__those are allmost predestined to deal with the kind of problem that shuffeling around the voice audio stream in real time09:56
Wizzupuvos__: yeah11:32
Wizzupwell, even if we get it with a delay, that'd still be a big step forward11:32
bencohI just tested twinkle on droid4 .... UI-wise it's horrible, but apart from that looks like it works :)11:50
Wizzupbencoh: yeah12:01
Wizzupit keeps running when you close it jfy12:01
Wizzupjfyi12:01
bencohyeah :)12:01
bencohI wonder if we could/should make a generic tray for hildon-status12:02
Wizzupuvos made it12:03
Wizzuphttps://github.com/maemo-leste/hildon-status-menu/12:03
Wizzupplease test it :)12:03
Wizzuphttps://github.com/maemo-leste/hildon-status-menu/pull/312:03
Wizzup(iirc)12:03
bencohbuiltin? not as a plugin?12:03
Wizzuplooks like12:03
bencohlet's ...12:04
bencohsince I'm here, do we have any shortcut to move between windows? fremantle had ctrl+backspace12:07
bencoh(I don't even remember if that was configurable/where)12:07
WizzupI think it should work?12:09
Wizzupwell ctrl+backspace brings expose I think12:09
bencohhere it doesn't12:11
bencoh(stable)12:11
Wizzupmaybe it's a different keyboard for the droid4 because of the touch key that we have12:12
Wizzups/keyboard/keybind/12:12
bencohwow, it works, awesome :)12:17
bencohfor some reason, hildon-status-menu doesn't treat SIGTERM properly, so I had to SIGKILL it, and now half of the plugins are gone12:18
bencohI'll try rebooting12:18
bencohunrelated, but is that expected? http://pastebin.notk.org/pastebin.php?show=d6df84dfd (uart kernel trace upon reboot)12:20
bencohalright, so ... the status icon works, the application-specific status menu works too, but once the menu has been used, restoring the application from the icon breaks, until next application restart12:29
bencohbut it's nice :)12:29
Wizzupbencoh: yes, status has a thing where if it hard crashes, it only loads afe plugins12:38
Wizzupif you restart it again, then it will load all again12:38
Wizzupbencoh: yes, this trace is still known12:38
Wizzupit's related to detaching kernel console and pm iirc12:38
Wizzupbencoh: that seems like good feedback for uvos :)12:39
bencohyeah ... do you know of another application readily available for comparison?13:00
Wizzupbencoh: not really, I hadn't actually tried the PR yet :)13:05
Wizzupmaybe pidgin ?13:05
uvos__bencoh: Wizzup: i made a generic tray for hildon-status13:25
uvos__it just never got merged13:25
uvos__ah got mentioned13:26
Wizzupyeah bencoh tested it13:27
bencohuvos__: yeah, it's super nice :)13:28
uvos__bencoh: "alright, so ... the status icon works, the application-specific status menu works too, but once the menu has been used, restoring the application from the icon breaks, until next application restart"13:28
uvos__what app is that?13:28
bencohuvos__: twinkle13:28
uvos__ok ill try it later13:28
bencoh:)13:28
uvos__i use it all the time with telegram-desktop btw13:29
uvos__if you want something to try13:29
bencohwait, telegram-desktop works for you?13:29
uvos__yeah fully13:29
uvos__why whats happens on your end?13:29
bencohwith telegram-desktop? I get an outdated app error message on laptop (debian stable)13:30
uvos__since I'm here, do we have any shortcut to move between windows? fremantle had ctrl+backspace"13:30
uvos__"since I'm here, do we have any shortcut to move between windows? fremantle had ctrl+backspace"13:30
uvos__its ctrl+backspace on all devices except the mapphones13:30
uvos__on mapphones its the home key13:31
bencohyeah, but I was looking for a hwkbd shortcut :)13:31
uvos__yeah there is none13:31
bencoh(hmm, I might really be using an outdated version of telegram actually .... looks like I have an old package installed)13:31
WizzupI am not sure if hildon-desktop supports multiple keys for the same shortcut13:31
uvos__its a limitation of the way i made hildon-shortcuts configurable13:32
uvos__sorry about that :P13:32
bencoh:)13:32
uvos__so telegram worked fine for me like last weak13:32
uvos__i just use debian package13:32
uvos__its very old, but it did work13:32
uvos__maybe the servers started rejecting it really recently?13:33
uvos__i dont have the d4 on me rn to test13:33
bencohnah, it really was my fault, I updated the package and now it works on my laptop :)13:40
bencohthx for the info13:40
bencoh(hmm, I doubt leste's telegram 1.5.11 would work if the 2.6 one refused registering)13:44
uvos__its allso possible it just works here because i registered it a long time ago13:45
uvos__dunno will check later if it still works13:45
uvos__and yes debian 10 is getting really long in the tooth13:46
bencohregarding pidgin, looks like it appears in the status area, but I'm not sure if it uses that new tray thing, or if I ported the pidgin plugin for maemo :]13:47
Wizzupoh13:48
Wizzupnot sure, was just a potential13:48
buZzdevuan has backports too, we could grab something from there?13:48
Wizzupuvos__: we'll move over in few months :)13:48
Wizzupuvos__: but we're so close to stable calls and conversations, let's do that first before we break things13:49
uvos__"calls" "stable"13:49
* uvos__ squints at ofono13:49
buZzone of my issues still -> app menu -> contacts -> tap a contact -> tap phone number -> nothing happens13:49
buZzyet, people tell me that does work13:50
buZz¯\_(ツ)_/¯13:50
uvos__buZz: no thats broken13:50
buZzwell, its working for some people13:50
uvos__all hildon mimes are broken13:50
uvos__because they dont use xdg mimes13:50
uvos__but only thair own stupid dbus interface13:50
uvos__(im not salty at all)13:50
uvos__buZz: it cant possibly work for anyone13:51
bencohuvos__: tbh it made me sad as well on fremantle13:51
buZzi dont know, some people in here told me it works13:51
uvos__you can click on a phone nummber on anything not maemo13:51
uvos__and that will work13:51
uvos__and open sphone13:51
uvos__but not maemo apps13:51
buZz'anything' ?13:51
uvos__any desktop linux application etc13:52
uvos__i for one use gnome-contacts13:52
uvos__but links in ff for instance work too13:52
uvos__tel://12345678913:52
buZzah ok, like that13:53
uvos__thats how gnome contatcs works too13:53
uvos__you press call on a contact it xdg opens tel://number13:53
uvos__that pushes gets opend with /usr/bin/sphone13:54
uvos__and /usr/bin/sphone informs the running sphone instance13:54
buZzsimilar, 'opening' http:// links -does- open a browser for me (qtwebbrowser) but that -doesnt- open the page13:54
buZzmight just need some wrapper, i guess13:54
uvos__works ok with firefox as default browser13:54
uvos__i gues the .desktop file has a bug in it13:55
uvos__(i might have written that)13:55
buZzright, but thats not 'the maemo' browser13:55
uvos__right13:55
uvos__try and see if qtwebbrowser https://something works13:55
uvos__in terminal13:55
uvos__then check if the .desktop file hast the %F monkier at the right place13:55
bencoh(I just realized I never tried qtwebbrowser)14:16
Wizzupuvos__: yes, ofono also needs work before it is :)14:47
Wizzupuvos__: btw I can set up maemo/chimeara in jenkins in case people want to start14:52
Wizzupchimaera or however it is spelled14:52
uvos__sure just knowing what packages build without issue would be good14:53
Wizzupthe problem with that is that it will get 'out of sync' and then we have to check all pkgs again to make sure they are in sync14:53
Wizzuplike, if you port it, to do you commit ot master?14:53
Wizzupand what if we then want to do another beowulf release14:53
Wizzupit just gets a bit complicated14:53
uvos__Wizzup: huh i thought thats what the maemo/beowulf-devel is for15:01
uvos__Wizzup: ie we would simply have a maemo/chimaera-devel branch15:02
uvos__for most things commiting stuff to master isent an option anyhow15:02
uvos__due to the way maemo stuff is increably interdependant you cant really port a part to gsettings for instance without porting everything at the same time15:03
uvos__since otherwise everything will break15:03
uvos__and then theres the af-services mess...15:03
uvos__point is changeing stuff in a way that it will work on deb 11 and current 10 settup at the same time wont work in manny cases anyhow15:04
kabouikWizzup: just in case you are interested, someone is going to sell their mint Pro1x sealed next week when they get it (they got the tracking number), for around 600€. I don't think you'd be so much interested in the Pro1x with sd662 while the one that can boot mainline is the Pro1 with msm8998, but never know. And Techwizz on Discord said he's planning on working towards mainlining sd662, but I don't know what they have16:31
kabouikin mind exactly in terms of workforce.16:31
uvos__this is the problem with modern phones, foss wise. they are all non-standard and by the time mainline works half way resnoably they are hopelessly obsolete & out of production :(16:36
uvos__doubaly exacerbated if its a tiny production run device16:37
kabouikI do intend to maintain my Pro1 alive for as long as I can16:48
kabouikFor that matter I think it's the phone that can be the closest to the N900; its keyboard makes it a good candidate for Linux controls, and it has a community16:49
kabouikProblem is it can't be produced anymore, but that is the same quickly enough even for big brands16:50
uvos__i mean droid 4, but yes its more recent.16:50
kabouikTo be honest I own both Pro1 and Pro1x and my Pro1 still has bright days ahead, especially with more advanced mailining and better hdmi-out capabilities. The Pro1x with its extra RAM can come in handy too though, but I just secretely hope they both end up mainlined at one point in the future.16:52
uvos__mailining and better hdmi-out capabilities? huh?16:54
uvos__Droid 4 is still the best or close to the best supported phone in real mainline (ie kernel.org), what extra hdmi-out capabililities dose it have? higher resolutions than 1920x1080?16:56
uvos__Propper LTE support would be a good argument instead16:56
uvos__ah versus the pro1x17:00
uvos__the problem is that just are so little of those devices and they thus cost so mutch17:00
uvos__anyhow ofc it would be nice to have support even if its very niche17:01
kabouikThe N900 was very niche too (and expensive with the cost of life at the time), but indeed many more devices were produced17:34
kabouikYeah I was comparing Pro1 and Pro1x. Pro1 boots from mainline (but not as in kernel.org yet I believe), Pro1x not quite17:35
kabouikAnd Pro1 can output to 4K I believe, no the Pro1x17:35
Wizzupuvos__: yeah we can have a devel branch, but we also need to agree on what to do with tags18:40
Wizzupuvos__: those can also conflict18:40
Wizzupkabouik: thanks, I will check18:41
_uvos_telegram-desktop 1.5.11 on d4 still works fine20:28
_uvos_so maybe only logging in dosent work anymore, but im not going to test that theory by logging out of obvious reasons20:29
