Sage"Sleeping is overrated" (tm)05:22
* Stskeeps needs coffee05:22
Sagehttp://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php05:24
SageCan we somehow provide a rpm for that?05:25
Sagerelated to https://bugs.nemomobile.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9105:25
SageSome distros provide a package for that but not sure how they handle the license05:28
SageI don't recall reading any license when installing same package on my other netbook that isrunning fedora05:29
timophmaybe it's the "put it in contrib or something and don't speak about it" -way05:29
StskeepsSage: i've seen it work without that rpm in modern linux kernels05:30
Stskeepsthe ideapad specifically05:30
SageStskeeps: you have?05:33
Sagewell, my netbook that comes with 3.1.x kernel couldn't handle that broadcom chip without that driver so how modern kernel are you talking about? :D05:34
StskeepsSage: well, there was -something- about it working..05:35
Stskeeps:P05:35
Sage:)05:35
SageI don't have that chip myself in my lenovo so can't really test, but it would be nice if someone coudl test if that works05:35
timophI have it but I'm not at home now05:36
timophto me it seems that the lisence allows redistribution without modifications05:36
Sagezypper install kernel-adaptation-pc-devel gcc and then try to compile05:36
Sagetimoph: yes, it seems so.05:37
timophalthough that much legalize makes my head hurt05:37
timoph2.1 imo makes that pretty clear05:38
Sageumm... does ideapad with bcm chip has also rj45 behind that? :)05:41
timophhmmh. not sure05:44
Stskeepspeople use modems? :o05:45

fosstuxHi! Is it possible to install Mer & Nemo on the internal memory of the N900?08:11
veskuh_n9_I think the old meego instructiins for it still works.08:15
veskuh_n9_Not recommended way.08:15
fosstuxwhy not?08:16
veskuh_n9_devs. install to mem card so that is the only tested way08:16
fosstuxbut why???08:17
fosstuxOr is it possible to replace maemo with mer?08:17
timophthe emmc installation is destructive08:17
fosstuxhm08:18
timophiirc there was some issues with having swap on the emmc08:18
Stskeepsfosstux: buy a microsd card, that's best way08:18
Sagetimoph: our swap is on emmc atm :)08:19
timophdunno if anyone is maintaining the emmc installer. at least I haven't touched it in months08:19
timophSage: ah.08:19
timoph:)08:19
timophor was that related to that when you have your rootfs there as well08:19
* timoph can't remember08:20
*** singler has joined #nemomobile08:20
timophbut anyway there wasn't any significant preformance gain running it from emmc08:21
Sagetimoph: well it was mainly about not destroying the maemo installation08:21
Sagetimoph: and the fact that meego was too big to fit in nand in the end08:21
Sagehowever I think it would fit in nand already now, but haven't treid that08:21
timophI can try it if needed08:22
*** sigkill_ has quit IRC08:22
SageWith Mer we got the base image so much smaller that it should fit in already08:22
Sageand there is stil much room for improvement08:22
timophwould be interesting to see if the thing still works. imo it should08:22
Sageyes, and it probably would improve perf as well08:23
Sageimage in nand that is08:23
Sageemmc doesn't improve pref much (if any) and thus we have not been thinking about that08:24
timophyep08:24
*** s1gk1ll has joined #nemomobile08:24
Stskeepsit was mostly useful for testing, i guess08:25
timophyep. especially with automation08:25
timophthat actually the reason why we implemented it08:26
Sagedid nand image creation requires some proprietary tools?08:26
StskeepsSage: not really, ubifs08:26
timophiirc yes08:26
Stskeepssec08:26
timophoh.08:26
* timoph is about to learn something new08:26
Stskeepshttp://mer-project.blogspot.com/2010/01/making-flashable-rootfss-for-n900.html08:27
*** cxl000 has joined #nemomobile08:27
*** dazo_afk is now known as dazo08:27
timophI need to try that08:28
SageStskeeps: ah, now I recall08:28
Sageok, that should be relatively easy to test08:29
timophn900 nand was 256M, right?08:32
Stskeepsright08:32
Stskeepsthe chinese STB people have like 105mb flash devices08:32
Stskeepsthat was a bit tougher to fit in that anticipated08:32
rantomHow much was the N950 nand?08:33
Stskeeps256ish, the emmc is what hosts rootfs08:33
timophI'm thinking of stripping a nemo image a bit and putting it to the nand..08:34
Stskeepsthink that's what sage was pondering about08:34
Stskeeps:P08:34
timoph:)08:34
rantomI can try to flash the N900 and/or N950 with Nemo, if needed, though I'd need instructions to do it since I've only done it so far successfully to the MMC08:35
timophdunno if n950 flashing with custom images is possible atm08:35
Stskeepsn950 i wouldn't recommend08:36
Stskeepsi know how to do it but it requires internal tools08:36
Stskeepsuse the initrd08:36
Stskeeps:P08:36
rantomBlame aegis?08:36
timophI would :)08:36
Stskeepsno, just unreleased internal tools a08:36
rantom:)08:37
Sageyes, n950 is a bit hard as it requires internal tools08:43
*** kimitake is now known as kimitake_idle08:54
Sagehmmp... both of my N900 and N950 devices can't get wifi at finland atm.09:02
Sagelast time I connected those to wlan was at fosdem and wonderign why I can't get the wlan up anymore09:03

Stskeepsx-rays in airport? regulatory issues?09:49
SageI'm betting the first. :/09:49
Sageboth n900 and n950 wifi's silent :/09:49
Sagecarried those on same bad next to each other without power through security check09:49

init3will my maemo apps work on Nemo mobile?23:13
befordhildon?23:13
init3beford: oh right that's gtk23:13
init3but yes23:13
init3what sort of apps does it use?23:14
befordI think nemo mobile focuses on QML/qt currently23:14
init3I mean, is it based on apps from maemo?23:14
befordhildon apps should run on top of mer/cordia23:14
init3sounds good23:14
init3basically Bless N900 is something I'd love to continue running if I switch23:15
init3I don't think that's gtk23:15
befordI think the UI its built with it so it will have to be rebuilt but I suppose the background stuff should work23:16
init3maybe I'll contact them to see if they will be releasing a version that works with qt23:20
