magespawn | hey any of the n900 users here today? | 09:45 |
Kilos | hi jpm | 09:48 |
Kerbero | hi Kilos | 09:48 |
Kerbero | :P | 09:48 |
Kilos | lol hiya Kerbero | 09:49 |
superfly | magespawn: yo | 09:50 |
Kilos | again | 09:50 |
magespawn | howdy all | 09:50 |
magespawn | superfly you have a n900? | 09:50 |
superfly | magespawn: yes | 09:50 |
magespawn | what os you running? | 09:50 |
superfly | still maemo 5 | 09:54 |
jpm | hmm | 09:59 |
magespawn | i see you can dual boot it with android | 09:59 |
=== jpm is now known as kerbero[pc] | ||
kerbero[pc] | android can't phone | 09:59 |
kerbero[pc] | and i tried meego too | 09:59 |
kerbero[pc] | that can only phone | 10:00 |
magespawn | brb | 10:00 |
kerbero[pc] | so i'm on maego too | 10:00 |
kerbero[pc] | *maemo | 10:00 |
magespawn | http://www.almostlikeeverything.com/mobiles/install-android-gingerbread-nitdroid-nokia-n900/ | 10:00 |
magespawn | this is what i found | 10:00 |
kerbero[pc] | at least everything is mostly working in maemo | 10:01 |
kerbero[pc] | let me check | 10:01 |
kerbero[pc] | that tutorial seems correct for dualbooting | 10:02 |
kerbero[pc] | roughly how i did it too | 10:02 |
magespawn | is it worth the work? | 10:02 |
kerbero[pc] | as i said, android is awesome | 10:02 |
kerbero[pc] | it can do everything except for making calls | 10:02 |
kerbero[pc] | and taking photos | 10:02 |
magespawn | i have been wanting to try it | 10:03 |
magespawn | no apps for those? | 10:03 |
kerbero[pc] | uhm | 10:03 |
kerbero[pc] | there are a lot of apps pre installed | 10:03 |
magespawn | is skype or similar available? | 10:04 |
kerbero[pc] | don't think so | 10:04 |
kerbero[pc] | maybe one can install it later | 10:04 |
magespawn | i see | 10:05 |
kerbero[pc] | http://nitdroid.com/index.php?title=N900 | 10:06 |
kerbero[pc] | see that | 10:06 |
magespawn | going | 10:06 |
kerbero[pc] | there is way too much hardware that still does not work | 10:06 |
magespawn | thats a pity | 10:07 |
kerbero[pc] | nice to play with | 10:07 |
kerbero[pc] | but not usable for a phone | 10:07 |
magespawn | maybe i will give it ago then | 10:07 |
magespawn | does the meego allow dual boot? | 10:09 |
kerbero[pc] | you can dualboot maemo+meego | 10:10 |
kerbero[pc] | or maemo+android | 10:10 |
kerbero[pc] | but triplebooting is almost impossible | 10:10 |
kerbero[pc] | because the two setups use different boot loaders | 10:10 |
magespawn | going to try the maemo+android | 10:11 |
magespawn | i want to have a look at android, might be getting a native device later this year. | 10:13 |
magespawn | thanks for help, never quite sure if info on the net is accurate, nice to be confirmed | 10:20 |
magespawn | later all have work to do | 11:10 |

nlsthzn | Hey Uncle Kilosm ... | 15:43 |
Kilosm | bbl | 15:45 |
Barco | Anyone know what happened to the linuxlab.org project? | 17:44 |
Kilos | evening all of ya | 17:49 |
Barco | Hi Kilos, have you ever of the linuxlab.org project? | 17:50 |
Kilos | nope Barco | 17:50 |
Kilos | whats it about | 17:51 |
Barco | I'm looking to help a rural school set up a lab. They source old PC's for terminals and provide for the use. | 17:51 |
Kilos | ah | 17:52 |
Barco | I'm looking for 486-P2 for the job | 17:52 |
Barco | most companies send these to e-waste. | 17:53 |
Kilos | i have a 486 and bits and pieces of a few others | 17:54 |
Kilos | and a p3 i normally use for spare here | 17:54 |
Kilos | but you will need someone that knows hardware and bios to get them going | 17:55 |
Barco | not much of a problem as I have it background. Just a newb in the Linux realm | 17:56 |
Kilos | ok | 17:57 |
Barco | Been setting up my lab and was thinking about how usefull edubuntu would be for rural schools I've visited as a youth worker | 17:57 |
Kilos | wwhere are you? | 17:58 |
Barco | I'm in Bloemfontein. you? | 17:58 |
Kilos | pretoria | 17:58 |
Kilos | actually try pc shops that do upgrades for people, they normally got a few old pcs when the upgrade companies | 17:59 |
Barco | Hmm, quite a way off. I'm gonna do that. | 18:00 |
Kilos | must be lots in bloem | 18:00 |
Barco | quite a few but the larger companies send everything to ewaste. | 18:01 |
Kilos | or do most peeps there still use the abacus | 18:01 |
Kilos | lol | 18:01 |
Barco | Most are a bit behind Gauteng lol | 18:01 |
Kilos | just speak to a few i am sure you will find some | 18:02 |
Barco | Financially the Free State is not affluent but we got the meat ;) | 18:02 |
Kilos | lol | 18:02 |
Kilos | nuvolari, ping | 18:02 |
Barco | I'm gonna give it a shot. | 18:03 |
Kilos | yeah its worth a try | 18:03 |
Kilos | i actually got started here from a guy that stayed close by that did upgrading for people | 18:04 |
Barco | Might end up buying terminals by the kg lol | 18:04 |
Kilos | he gave me a lot of bits and pieces to sort through before he dumped them | 18:04 |
Kilos | lol | 18:04 |
Kilos | its just hard work sorting what is still good and what not | 18:05 |
Barco | wondering if recyclers will take a buyback offer befor they melt them ;) | 18:05 |
Barco | agreed. Might be able to teach some learners to help | 18:06 |
Kilos | go for it | 18:06 |
Barco | I'll search for a few guys to help locally. | 18:07 |
Kilos | maybe look in your local papers for guys offering pc repairs | 18:09 |
Kilos | they mostly know each other | 18:09 |
Kilos | and the smaller businesses normally have private guys do pc work for them | 18:11 |
Kilos | then you can just promote ubuntu at the same time | 18:11 |
Barco | sounds good, I'll do that. | 18:17 |
Kilos | Maaz, where is nuvolari | 18:22 |
Maaz | Kilos: nuvolari is no Sir :-P | 18:22 |
Kilos | lol | 18:22 |
Kilos | Maaz, tell nuvolari Het jy gewen met pa se rekenaar seun? | 18:23 |
Maaz | Kilos: Righto, I'll tell nuvolari on freenode | 18:23 |

nlsthzn | superfly: just read your blog... chokoq is awesome | 19:49 |
superfly | nlsthzn: cool | 21:35 |
superfly | it is pretty cool, just got some annoying bugs at times | 21:35 |
nlsthzn | superfly: can't add a comment on it cause I don't have an account though... | 21:35 |
superfly | nlsthzn: bug you can register ;-) | 21:35 |
nlsthzn | but chokoq 1.1 has been out for a while... I installed it on openSUSE months ago when I got login issues... | 21:36 |
* nlsthzn has so many accounts all over the place he can't keep track anymore | 21:36 | |
superfly | nlsthzn: yeah, it's been out a while, but there are no updates in Ubuntu/Kubuntu for it | 22:34 |
nlsthzn | superfly: well, the way you explained it on your blog it looks pretty easy to make a package for Ubuntu :) | 22:35 |
superfly | It's not a proper package, but it's a convenient way to keep your system intact while compiling and installing a new version of whatever software it is that you require | 22:36 |
