I was not thinking of a configuration screen. I mentioned the handset "policy manager" and was thinking of a rule-set that needs to be added to the policy manager in Prolog -- a language I love and the exact right way of expressing the rules needed to implement the above with no "knobs." However, it is not clear that the policy manager is actually running on the netbook, even though packages prolog-resourcepolicy-extensions-1.1.9-1.6.i586 pulseaudio-policy-enforcement-1.1.10-1.4.i586 are present, it's not clear they're "hooked up." I also referred to some related issues&concerns raised re tracker in an article I wrote: http://code.google.com/p/ytd-meego/wiki/CitizenJournalismWithYoutubeDirectForMeego#MeeGo_Policy_Framework ......................... Similar "Policy Framework" issues include preventing scheduling background tasks while capturing media. For example a typical complaint over the Tracker subsystem ( http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=61960 ) suggests, alongside the fact that it won't be available until MeeGo 1.2, that this project might best work-around using Tracker and use more traditional APIs for managing media files: "I would like it to index the new pictures/videos AFTER I've shot them, after LEAVING the application that made them. Not during... In general, while I'm doing the creation, I would want as little other system activity as possible. Real multi-tasking on a limited resource device only goes that far ... Ask Apple and Google. So while doing time critical stuff, I ideally want all non-critical stuff frozen. That would help the stuttering while filming." ............................. > According to the logs in your bug, you are getting page allocation > failures.

Partial facepalm: however, that's related to a different thread. http://lists.meego.com/pipermail/meego-dev/2011-February/481727.html On Wed, Feb 23, 2011 at 7:42 PM, Niels Mayer <nielsmayer at gmail.com> wrote: > https://bugs.meego.com/show_bug.cgi?id=13778 > Bug 13778 - Wireless connection loses "router" setting for Static-IP I apologize for complicating an existing bug with even wonkier behavior from allocation errors. They were my fault ( https://bugs.meego.com/show_bug.cgi?id=13778#c15 ), but I saw many of those errors before I "customized" my netbook with Fedora/RPMFusion/PlanetCCRMA repos that allow me to do what I need to do with media. I also saw them on the intel tablet ux release, which appeared based off an earlier branch of 1.1.90 than the "trunk" I was on when I installed. And others seem to be seeing other versions of the same issue: https://bugs.meego.com/show_bug.cgi?id=7529 Thanks for your patience! -- Niels http://nielsmayer.com _______________________________________________ MeeGo-community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-community http://wiki.meego.com/Mailing_list_guidelines
