brolin_empeyApparently SpeedCrunch updates its history file (history.json) only when it cleanly exits, not after every statement, which could cause a significant loss to the persistent history if SpeedCrunch unexpectedly stops running, such as if it crashes or if the power to the computer is interrupted.  I should ask the developer(s) to at least add an option to update the history file after every command if not to make this new behaviour unconditional.05:37
sixwheeledbeastMore efficient to work like that.10:19

DocScrutinizer51Fahrplan blows chunks, not only the API to DB server is broken, also it doesn't know how to activate and access GPS anymore :-/14:05
DocScrutinizer51considering I helped significantly with how to design the GPS access in Fahrplan, this is kind of embarrassing to me14:06
DocScrutinizer51Fahrplan been one of the killer apps on N900 for me14:08
DocScrutinizer51GPStest gets a fix no problem at all14:15
DocScrutinizer51sucks14:16
sicelonot talking to GPS is indeed very strange. missing deps maybe?14:17
DocScrutinizer51no idea. modrana works flawlessly14:18
DocScrutinizer51closing modrana the sat dish icon in systray vanishes. starting it shows. But starting Fahrplan zilch shows14:19
DocScrutinizer51afk, driving14:20
siceloi've never used Fahrplan (we don't have those kinds of services here), but I'd wonder if Fahrplan *did* activate GPS in the past14:21
sixwheeledbeastMay only call GPS on a lookup request?14:26
sixwheeledbeastI have never used it either but I believe it used GPS to plan transport routes.14:27
peetahargggghhhhh ! I 've just started my n900 again after 3 or 4 years unused ... I can't read UI anymore : font size is too small ! How can 3 or 4 years make someone age that much ?17:24
sicelocount the 3 or 4 years in days :)17:26
peetahmore seriously, I upgraded to the latest maemo-cssu, but is there any place with a changelog of what was accomplished on this platform since 21.2011.38-1Tmaemo12 (27.11.2017)  ?17:27
siceloCSSU is now frozen (or, dead)17:29
peetahthis means that all the work has been shifted towards maemo-leste ?17:30
peetahis it usable as yet ?17:31
siceloCSSU got frozen because backporting stuff got harder and harder for the small team :(17:32
siceloLeste ... it's still Alpha.17:32
sicelobut coming along steadily, considering the size of the team :)17:33
peetahalpha and actively developped or, just alpha ;) ?17:33
peetahnice17:33
siceloactively developed :p17:34
sicelo#maemo-leste17:37
peetahthanks !17:40
peetahI have a n900 with non working phone functionality that I can use to test it during the summer17:41
sixwheeledbeastno modem is prolly fine for leste19:07
DocScrutinizer05>>I'd wonder if Fahrplan *did* activate GPS in the past<< It definitely did21:42
DocScrutinizer05waited some time to give GPS a cjhance for a fix (don't know whether it checked precision as I suggested, or just cecked for a fix d-bus messgae or even just implemented a delay), the it enabled the "GPS" buttons21:43
DocScrutinizer05and it stopped location service when you closed Fahrplan21:44
DocScrutinizer05the purpose of GPS: "you" enter your current geo-coords and the DB server finds closest bus / subway stop21:46
DocScrutinizer05>>after 3 or 4 years unused ... I can't read UI anymore : font size is too small ! << welcome to the club. I also can't read that stuff anymore without glasses21:47
DocScrutinizer05and yes, that problem got MASSIVE during just 2 or 3 years for me21:48
sicelowhat should those of us who still can see it do?21:54
sixwheeledbeastnever liked the nokia font tbh i have had buntu font for years much nicer on the eyes21:55
DocScrutinizer05sicelo: I think you should keep accessability in mind when developing anything. In reply to what you shall do23:06
DocScrutinizer05those low contrast tiny font designs are a PITA even with sharp eyesight23:07
