Re: Adding [maemo-users] perfix to the email's subject
Hello! This is just a suggestion. It would be great if the mailing lists admin could add a [maemo-users] perfix to the email's subject :) This was discussed before. Please read the old thread(s) to check if you have new arguments, else please let us not discuss this again ;-) P.S.: I'm against it ;-) I have mail filters and no 16:9 display. -- Gruß...

Re: Checking email takes minutes
Hello! For me the device is close to useless to me if I can't work with email in an efficient way on it. Any suggestions? See also Bug 10357, which seems to be a variant of problems with polling POP3 accounts. Is there a ticket for your probelsm, too? https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10357 It seems like there is something badly broken. There is no respons eby Nokia in the ticket, so no idea if and at which time a fix will happen. -- Gruß...

Aw: accessing N900 internal gps for console apps
Hello! Take a look at liblocation. You can find documentation and examples as part of the maemo documentation. Directly accessing gpsd will either not work (likely, but havn't tried) or will lead to power consumption problems. -- Gruß...

Re: App Developers and Mer
Hello! A question of curiosity. To any application developers that might be on this list, are you planning to make sure your applications will work on Mer? Yes. After my application run fine in fremantle I plan to start looking at Mer. Since Mer should be rather fremantle-like (at tat time) I do not expect larger problems. I'm also intersted in getting back any feedback for my applications on Mer. I am wondering what kind of application support Mer will gain? A good one, since a working Mer will allow me to drop support for the older diablo OS version (N800, N810) and possible even gain back support for 770. Since Mer should be more fremantle-like than the older OS version getting Mer to run on the devices will make it possibly easier to support older Devices for developers that have a fremantle version of their applications running. -- Gruß...

Re: N900 battery duration

Re: WifiInfo
Hello! A few questions: On the scan for networks tab there is a checkbox to enable scanning. Why? Is that to conserve resources when the application is minimized? Does it continue scanning even when that tab isn't active? It seems like there polling of the OS daemon can crash the daemon (no connection possible anymore), requiring a reboot (see desciption on the download page!), so it must be explicitely activated. Polling also drains the battery, should another reason to not activate it by default. WifiInfo currently does not stop if the screen blanker kicks in (but its is on my list of planed improvements). However for wardriving this should be configurable :-) Note that WifiInfo uses a undocumented OS interface (DBus interface to the wlan handling daemon). However using this interface is the only way to get the list. Directly polling the kernel requires root access and interacts with the OS daemon in a way that it gets is faster and more definitely nuts (this is likely also the reason why there is no clean port of kismet and other tools. AFAIK you would have to stop and restart after use the network handling stuff of the OS). The poll interval for the scna list is hard wired for this reason since reducing the poll interval would increase the crash likelyness. It would be nice if fremantle would contain a documented interface for this. If not, it would be nice if the current interface is at least kept ;-) On the main tab there is a slider to select poll frequency. Does that affect the network scanning, or just the update of information on the current network? This only affects the polling of the current network connection. In the next version the slider will move into a configuration dialog (under fremantle slider are bigger and there is not enough space for it on the tab rider). -- Gruß...

Re: Full screen non-Hildon X applications possible?
Hello! Did you find out how to do this? Googling returns nothing except this thread, a lot of repo listings, and some pages in japanese... Hildon/the window manager follows the freedesktop WM spec. See: http://standards.freedesktop.org/wm-spec/1.4/ar01s05.html#id2569140 You have to set the _NET_WM_STATE property to _NET_WM_STATE_FULLSCREEN to get the window resized to full screen. You can either do this from within the application (like hildon does when pressing the full screen button), or try to write a tool for it. I can offer C/C++ example code, if somebody wants to write a tool for it (named wmctrl may be such a tool). -- Gruß...

Aw: Re: the hell of Maemo repos
Hallo! As one of the people that had shutdown his own repository as response to mentioned request to consolidate I can assure that such request was very polite, I was never forced and every help was promised (which I did not need) and no timeline was given. We never talked about the actual contents of my repository. I fact I'm of the opinion that such aproach goes into the direction. So please wait until the owner of the now closed repository speaks up to clearify. Note that Nokia regarding this aspect is not Apple. Please calm down and let the facts speak. Gruß...

Aw: Re: Re: the hell of Maemo repos
Hello! ...Which is clearly a bad idea. The details obviously *should* be worked out and a timeline chosen so that the switchover can happen smoothly. It can be cooperative rather than dictatorial, but that's irrelevant to the end-user. But Nokia did not force me to immediately shutdown the repository. I would have been able to get my software first into extras and then shutdown my own rep. I fact I did it this way and the rep owner of that kismet rep could have this, too. Why he did it not this way I do not known - but that is not Nokias fault. Please wait on the rep owner to explain (if he likes to). And since I'm that that rep owner is not Quim you can neither blaim him or Nokia. If this was a fault of someone in this case it was the fault of parts of the community. This is getting me angry. If you want kismet do your port and put it into extras yourself. There was not includes kismet on your product package I'm sure of. Please explain in simple words what you expect of Nokia in this case. Gruß... Tim ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

Re: Photo capability using N800 Camera? = Knips
Hallo! I just released Knips. Knips is a simple photo taking application based on libIllumination. This is currently a very simple application (in fact there is a X11 crash during shutdown that appears only on the real device :-/). I see further improvements in the following areas which I might add in the next time): * Enlarge the Knips button (place it to the right of the video image?). * React on camera in/out events to start stop video streaming. * Add some sound (needs some improvements in Illumination). * Improved visual feedback on photo taking. * Some online help and about dialog. * Creating videos instead of still images (low priority). ..but nevertheless it works. See http://test.maemo.org/downloads/product/knips for details. I'm also looking for some possible volunteer to improve the application (I would give access to the www.sf.net subversion repository). But note that this does not use Gtk but my own GUI library (which should not be a problem IMHO)! Have fun! -- Gruß...

Re: Photo capability using N800 Camera? = Knips
Hello! The package has a missing dependency, ie. it won't install libIllumination for you and won't work without it. I have fixed that a few minutes ago. Thanks for hinting at! btw there's also an app named malomo that does the same thing as Knips. it's at garage.maemo.org. I did not know this. I would suggest that every garage developer, who has a *working* application, also registers his project in the application registry (http://downloads.maemo.org/). That is where I looked! good work on the vkb info in http://www.anderenen.de/anderenende/maemo.html btw :) It still is not perfect. I would be very happy if somebody would release more infos regarding the undentified requests and flags. -- Gruß...

Re: [maemo-users] Battery Benchmarking?
Hello! the apps you have installed are buggy and generate activity and i mean any type of activity, 1% CPU load is still too much: if the app is idle, it must have 0% CPU activity What does that exactly mean (especially for non GTK-based applications like mine that cannot expect some GTK magic)? Say for example I have an editor with has a blinking cursor. The GUI library internally uses select with a timer as main event loop. Does above statement mean, that my application is still running and select still lopping and timer can run out and the cursor still blinks while I put the cover on the device? I always assumed that it goes in some kind of hibernate mode where machine state is (nearly) completely frozen, but your statement sounds like it just switches of some stuff of while CPU is still running? How can I work around this? Do I need to catch DBus events to get informed that I have to go in some application specific low power mode? -- Gruß...
