Maemo Social News launched

Today has been a big day for maemo.org: not only was the Maemo Community Calendar released for beta testing, but we also launched the new Social News section on the site. Social news is an area where users can easily with one glance see all interesting things happening at the moment in the maemo world. We syndicate data from a lot of sources: official Nokia announcements, Garage project news, Tableteer, Flickr maemo group, YouTube maemo tag, Application Catalog updates, community blogs from Planet maemo and possibly in the future also ITT threads....

Calendar Beta published

Today we published the calendars beta version to the maemo community for testing. The testing period will last approx. 4 weeks in which time we hope for a lot of feedback, both bad and good. There is also a bugzilla for the calendar so, feel free and post bug reports or feature requests in there. I will be commenting and prioritizing them during the testing period. More info and the calendar can be found at http://maemo.org/community/calendar. Also the beta documentation can be found in this blog. maemo

Pleading for some GStreamer help

Need some help. I’ve been working on this app since yesterday, and it’s working ok. I was going to announce it once it was complete, but I’ve been having issues that require more brain power than I have access to. I’m pretty new to GStreamer, and I’ve gotten this far. Basically it’s a virtual guitar of sorts. Codenamed Tigla. It basically works like so, the samples variable holds the start/end nano second markers for each of the sample files. These hold 5 notes from each string, and basically….make the sound. The GUI will obviously need work, it’s just a test base right now. The problem is that when pressing any button in quick succession, the program crashes. If you wait about 3-4 seconds before pushing each button, it’s generally ok. Please can someone help me out here. I can’t wait to start polishing this app. Code and samples available here.

News and Calendar betas at maemo.org

Today we have got a double beta release: a revamped News section and a Community calendar. They are more or less ready at a feature level but we publish them to share the testing and fine tuning process. Feedback and bugs (product Website, components News or Calendar) are very much appreciated. Note that you have to log in in order to get the full features. The News section offers a selection of the most popular novelties published (almost) anywhere about maemo. Registered users can mark news items as favorites helping them acquiring karma and going up in the top rank. Other factors are considered such as the age of each item and the popularity in maemo.org and other social websites like Technoraty or Digg. Users can also get the latest news and the aggregated news from every source. Read Henri Bergius' post for more details about the development he has lead. The Community calendar is a web based application integrated to maemo.org...

What’s cooking for the Application Manager?

I am trying out this blog thing, so that I can rant in color. I work for Nokia on the Internet Tablet OS as a hacker, and that’s what I will be blogging about here. Or about whatever seems appropriate. Our topic for today shall be a short introduction to the new Application Manager features in the next major IT OS release that are of interest to package maintainers. This stuff is documented in more detail here. More .install file capabilities A .install file can now instruct the Application Manager to add more than one catalogue. You might have noticed that I don’t think that having as many repositories as we have now is a good idea, so please don’t take this feature as in invitation to spread your packages over many many repositories. If at all possible, put your packages into the maemo Extras repository. This repository will be preconfigured in the next IT OS release, and we will likely pay more attention to packages in the Extras repository when making new IT OS releases (when checking compatibility, for example). You can now leave the distribution name blank in .install files and...

Maemo Chinook/Sardine C++ bindings

I’ve updated the C++ gtkmm bindings for Maemo for the unstable Chinook/Sardine release, which will one day become the new stable Maemo release. That’s hildonmm (previously hildon-libsmm) and hildon-fmmm. Some links: The hildonmm NEWS file and the hildon-fmmm NEWS file, listing API changes. The unstable Maemomm documentation. If you are running Maemo Sardine then you can add the extras repository by adding these lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list: deb http://repository.maemo.org/extras/ sardine free deb-src http://repository.maemo.org/extras/ sardine free and then install them like so: fakeroot apt-get install libhildonmm-dev libhildon-fmmm-dev Packages are only available for the x86 target for now, but I’ll create ARM packages fairly soon.

Per molts anys GNOME!

10 years of GNOME! I mostly missed the first half. I only remember reading about a Mexican guy challenging Microsoft with a free alternative desktop. That was around 1999-y2k. I also remember trying to install Linux in my laptop by then and leaving it for later. One day I installed successfully Debian Woody with GNOME 1.4 inside and... 5 years later here we are. Congratulations and big thanks to the people that started this one-time-in-life story. Thanks to ustedes dos and hundreds of contributors, I'm a happy active user - hopefully also a better citizen. I am learning a lot and it's great to be here with you. My wish for 2017: each of us, in a situation unimaginable today, will remember the time when GNOME was 10 and will feel (again) a satisfaction for the big progress done. Petonàs a tot@s.

Feature Request: More Camera Functions!

It is well known that the camera is the least utilized feature of the N800. Since the last firmware update (and the discontinuation of the "Call Invitation Beta") the ONLY way to use the camera was for either the feature-lacking Camera application or for N800-to-N800 calls. Since the primary messenger programs for the N800 (Google Talk, Skype, Gizmo Project, and Pidgin) have not implemented ways to video call between the N800 and other systems, the camera is currently just wasted space. In a conversation with another N800 owner, we both realized we'd love the ability to either stream live video or video blog directly from the N800 tablet. Matt Faulkner of GottaBeMobile.com also noticed this during his uStream.tv live unboxing and introduction to the N800. The Flash implementation on the N800 supports the microphone but not the camera.

Compiz Fusion

If your anything like me, you love your desktop bling and nothing comes close to the bling that Compiz Fusion brings. It's way ahead of even the effects you see on a Mac at the moment. Projects like this bring a smile to my face. Projects like this justify why we, as Linux users are among the (growing) minority. Projects like this encourage people to go ahead and install Linux, even if they had no intentions of doing so before; and this can only be a good thing for the Linux community. This leads me a more sobering and UMPC related point. If Linux is to be a viable alternative to Windows on the next-generation UMPC platform, it not only has to do as good as its peers, it has to blow them out of the water. Life Hacker has an interesting article on Compiz Fusion which is definitely worth a read.

Hacking OS 2007 initfs

Hi, I’ve hacked initfs of my n800 to show my name and email as you can see in this picture.

Toolkit adventures

So it seems that I have become a TreeView hacker ;-) Well, not the GTK+ one as we all know that Kris is doing a splendid job at that, but the ETK one. Gustavo and me sat down to discuss what features we need for a list widget for Canola and had a few choices as creating a new list, merging the list I made and the one Gustavo made as they both have advantages and disadvantages, or we could use the ETK one. Andrunko convinces us that using ETK was the way to go. I had a quick look at it and agreed. Andrunko already implemented proof-of-concept kinetic scrolling and I improved it a bit, by extending it to stop at the right position. Andrunko, working on another project, requested me to add separators, and I took a look at it... SCARY! Tree view code is scary, and complex and I was met with functions larger than 500 lines of code ;-) uh... where to start... I started out my doing some refactoring and it actually took me 2-3 days getting to understand the code, and actually refactor it, but the funny thing is that when I understood the code it took me like 10 min to actually implement the separators :-) Now all there is left is implementing support for different row heights, as I would...

Geoclue 0.8 “SoC” released

Finally got the release out the door! More information at the home page, and here’s a link to Geoclue status applet install file (for IT OS 2007) for the impatient: This isn’t the major release (except for me, this being the Summer of Code evaluation release): Geoclue position API is going through some changes at the moment and the next release will probably be a lot more more interesting. Still, feedback from users and developers is very welcome! I thought some usage advice might be nice too, so here goes: Geoclue tries to abstract the source of the data away and provide just generic location data, but unfortunately that doesn’t always work like magic (not yet at least)… Here are some tips if you’re not seeing anything useful when you select different position providers: Hostip visit Hostip with a browser and click “Make a correction” if your location is not shown or is wrong.

A note on this entry: The links only work if you have a bugzilla account and are logged in. It doesn't cost you anything and they are good with privacy. In my conversations with maemo developers, their repeated frustration is that people rant about feature requests without filing feature requests in the bugzilla. I just found myself guilty of the same - whining about a missing feature without so much as searching for a bugzilla entry. Previously, I wrote a bugzilla introduction and howto. This applies not only to bugs but to feature requests as well. I decided to check to see if there was a feature request for a Flash plugin by a simple search. I noticed that there was no entry for camera support in Flash but did notice a popular feature request...

SoC musings + seeking employment

Summer of Code has now practically ended. I’ll post a more detailed look at my original plans and actual accomplishments soon, for now I’ll just say that I’m fairly happy with the results: some things we’re left undone, but other unplanned features got implemented. What I’m wondering is how the rest of Maemo SoC went — according to Mathieu Blondels last post he’s doing ok (although that was a month ago), but the other two projects seem to have been dropped in the mid-term evaluation. Smoove “Instant Desktop migration” and the Ruby bindings project have had no activity at all as far as I can tell (there’s some progress on the Ruby front, but it seems unrelated). Now, a sample size of four means that we can’t draw too much conclusions, but a half-way failure rate of 50% still seems high — compare with Gnome’s 2 out of 29 = 7%. What went wrong? Eminently employable...

Helping the Browser Project

As I wrote in an earlier article (#2), that there are a number of ways to help the browser team improve MicroB. The browser team and http://maemo.org would like to encourage contributions. To that end, I am happy to announce that I've sent George Kibardin a maemo.org t-shirt, in appreciation for the good bugs he has filed. And with the hope and expectation that we will continue to receive good reports from him. I can't guarantee that we'll send shirts monthly, but I hope to be able to. Note that we also would like to encourage people to make patches, and code contributions, it's quite likely that the next shirt will be sent to someone for contributing a patch or two that improves our code.

Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been spending some time writing a document called, “An Unofficial Guide to Creating a Most Excellent maemo User Interface.” Maemo, if you don’t know, is the open-source development platform that applications are created under for the Nokia Internet Tablets (currently, the 770 and the N800). The document has just gone to beta, so I thought it would be a good time to mention something about it publicly. The guide has turned out to be around 25-pages, complete with case studies, graphical...

S3 is a cruel mistress

Well, I suppose I have no one to blame up myself. You may recall my triumphant declaration that S3 suspend was working on my desktop machine without any quirks. Naturally, that couldn’t last. Yesterday, something happened to the machine such that it will no longer resume from S3 - and it seems to be a very low level problem - I can’t resume successfully in windows anymore, either. I tried using a custom stripped down kernel but to no avail - I get identical symptoms in all cases. When I power it back on, basiclaly nothing happens. The drives power up and the disk activity light comes on solid for a while and then goes out - nothing else happens. Looking at the kernel logs, it seems control is never returned to the OS - and that would explain the failure on windows too. I tried out S1 and I’ve confirmed that that still works, but something has broken S3 and I can’t for the life of me say what it is. I even wiped the BIOS configuration and recreated it, wondering if something bad had ended up in the nvram - but I’m not seeing any changes. If anyone out there has any suggestions, I’m eager to hear them - but I’m feeling very pessimistic...

maemo wiki cleanup: first milestone

We have just got to a first milestone of the maemo wiki, thanks to the priceless help of some big hearts at #maemo (details to come in a next post): We have gone through most (all?) of the content. All the good content is now linked from the main page. There are still pages with an uncertain future (pro-official docs, candidates to be deleted, pages probably irrelevant today, content in non-English... All of them are located at WikiReorg. The priority now is to clear up this page. We got rid of all the orphans Now we have a big list of pages to delete. If you find there content worth to be kept move the link to WikiReorg. We can always recover old content from the old wiki. We have also gone through the functionality expected in a wiki nowadays, in order to know in details what we have got and what is...

Impressed by 3rd party iPhone apps

Marcelo got an iPhone and I could use it for a while, my initial idea was to compare my virtual keyboard with their (mine is “better”, easier to type, because the screen is larger!), but I also paid attention to graphics effects, and other things that I could use to improve my own skills… BUT what impressed me most was the number of 3rd party applications already available for it! Apple has invested no money to create a public development infrastructure, community resources and not even a cross compiler toolchain. Actually, they tried hard to avoid people writing native applications, but even with these factors they got to the point they have more useful (IMO) applications than N800, with Nokia creating Maemo, funding scratchbox, tons of resources to improve Gnome and related tools. Sure, they already ship with great apps by default, as an excellent media player and browser and simple but good enough mail client, maps, PIM… but you can already...

[PyGame Virtual Keyboard] PyGame Virtual Keyboard

I've just released a python widget that generates a basic pop-up virtual keyboard that can be integrated in full screen PyGame applications. The standard virtual keyboard for Maemo can't be used when running full screen SDL windows, because it's hooked into GTK widgets. This provides a very basic user input box that can be used for games and other full screen PyGame applications. It overlays itself semi-transparently onto whatever screen you are currently showing.

[Other Maemo Weather] Next stable version of Other Maemo Weather 0.18.4 Released!

What is new in comparison with the version 0.17.2 Autoupdating mechanism has been rectified. The algorithm of cache directory creation has been corrected. Almost all aviailable weather stations in the USA, Poland, Finland, Germany, France and Antarctic Continent have been added. The following error has been corrected: if temperature data were not available zero was displayed, but now it is shown that temperature data is not available (N/A). The choice of temperature showing order has been made (First low, then high and vice versa). The choice of current weather display has been enabled - now the first icon can show the current weather the second can show today's weather-forecast, the thrid-tomorrow's one and etc. The old scheme of weather-forecast display remains. The selection list 'how long the current weather is true' is created. During the first execution stations are setup according to chosen cities in clock applet. Nicolas Graziano has made French translation. Russian translation has been corrected. Localization of the last renewal time, of the time in popup window and of button labels in the setting window has been done. Mistakes in the file of stations list have been corrected...

Implementing UPnP Services just got easier So jorn has commited my patch that implements the magic of autoconnecting action and state-variable query signals to GUPnPService. I am too lazy to write all about it so I'll just copy&paste the doc-comment: /** * gupnp_service_signals_autoconnect * @service: A #GUPnPService * @user_data: the data to pass to each of the callbacks * @error: return location for a GError, or NULL * * A convenience function that attempts to connect all * possible "action-invoked" and "query-variable" signals to * appropriate callbacks for the service @service. It uses * service introspection and GModule's introspective * features. It is very simillar to * glade_xml_signal_autoconnect except that it attempts to * guess the names of the signal handlers on its own. * * For this function to do its magic, the application must * name the callback functions for "action-invoked" signals * by striping the CamelCase off the action names and either * prepend "on_" or append "_cb" to them. Same goes for * "query-variable" signals, except that "query_" should be * prepended to the variable name. For example, callback...
