JamesTaitGood morning all; happy Mole Day! :-D08:17
mzanettiMirv: hi08:20
Mirvmzanetti: I don't need TCP connection, UDP is fine10:48
mzanettiMirv: reading the mailing list thread about maps... For the N9 I wrote a FoxtrottGPS clone in Qt. should be relatively easy to port that as an intermediate solution. there is one issue however: QtLocation's map doesn't regard the grid unit size.10:48
mzanettiMirv: do you think that would be something we should distro-patch like with the browser?10:49
Mirvmzanetti: maybe so, although upstream solution would eventually be needed. the image tile maps are ~ok, but I do think a vector graphics one would be needed since otherwise there's no possibility of real offline maps.10:50
mzanettiMirv: upstream supports both afaik. Just OSM only ships bitmap based map tiles10:51
Mirvmzanetti: well OSM is not a single entity, so anyone can create whatever kind of data, like navit at http://maps9.navit-project.org/ - whole Europe fits into <8GB10:53
Mirvthe upstream just needs to define the format and then have an exporter from OSM database10:53
mzanettiMirv: and the resources to host it. anyways... that's not really related to the actual issue I'd say. I guess right now also vector based map tiles would be rendered too small10:54
Mirvmzanetti: right, that OSM indeed doesn't do, host it. I think we shouldn't rely on volunteer funded external source anyway but have eg. a mirror10:56
Mirvmzanetti: but you're right, any sort of map click package would be better than nothing10:59
Mirvmzanetti: it seems Fabian Herb is also having a map viewer, but I guess no GPS listening yet https://code.launchpad.net/~fherb/+junk/pam11:00
mzanettiMirv: I can port it over. seems quite simple. but still everything really hard to read because its so small11:00
mzanettiMirv: because it doesn't regard the Grid units/DPI11:00
Mirvmzanetti: maybe the SDK team could enlighten about if there'd be something that should be done?11:02
mzanettiMirv: do you mean I should report a bug?11:03
Mirvmzanetti: I meant asking first bzoltan / his team, but if you can formulate a bug about it, it's probably easier to communicate11:16
bzoltanMirv: mzanetti: What can I help?11:17
* mzanetti thought Mirv would be part of the SDK team11:17
mzanettibzoltan: thinking about the QtLocation's map: it doesn't regard grid units11:17
bzoltanMirv: mzanetti: in practice he is :)11:17
bzoltanmzanetti:  true11:17
mzanettibzoltan: which causes street names to be really hard to read because so small11:17
bzoltanmzanetti:  never really tested. Please file a bug with a good description.11:18
mzanettibzoltan: though if this would be required to distro-patch like with the browser until upstream solves that stuff11:18
mzanettibzoltan: ok, I will11:18
bzoltanmzanetti:  most likely your thoght is correct11:18
Mirvmzanetti: I'm in desktop/integration team, but work closely with sdk team as well ;)11:19
mzanettiah11:19
mzanettiok. thanks guys. will file the bug and see if I manage to get T-Mon (the TangoGPS clone) running asap11:19

nik90nic-doffay: I dont think https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-clock-app/+bug/124062912:13
ubot2Launchpad bug 1240629 in Ubuntu Clock App "Selecting the same option again in an OptionSelector results in that option being hidden" [Medium,Confirmed]12:13
nik90nic-doffay: that bug is not fixed as of rev 80112:13
nic-doffaynik90, if this wasn't fixed then you should have commented on the old bug, not made another report! I'll look at it now though...12:15
nic-doffaynik90, it wasn't marked as fixed either.12:16
nik90nic-doffay: no this bug is different from the other12:17
nik90nic-doffay: as in this bug happens only if the selectedIndex variable is used during declaration12:17
nik90nic-doffay: the other bug happens when you select the same option again with/without the selectedIndex variable. Hence I created a new bug12:17
nic-doffaynik90, my mistake then. I should have looked at the report. I'll get to fixing this after lunch.12:17
nik90nic-doffay: np12:18
