<kyak> xiangfu: hi! what do you mean by "sound problems" in gmu?
<kyak> i tried with some ogg file, there are no problems whatsoever

<xiangfu> kyak, I am use the buildhost image. it give me:
<xiangfu> audio: Opening audio device...
<xiangfu> audio: Could not open audio: Couldn't open gmu.bmp
<xiangfu> audio: Device not opened. Cannot set pause state
<xiangfu> fileplayer: Couldn't open audio: Couldn't open gmu.bmp
<kyak> "Could not open audio: Couldn't open gmu.bmp" - makes no sense :)
<kyak> i'll try the buildhost image.. currently had no problem with my own (which is not different at all, just couple of packages thrown out)
<xiangfu> kyak, do you think it 's SDL sound problem?
<kyak> well, you mentioned some problems with mplayer.. so i'm not sure
<kyak> oh, sorry
<kyak> you said gmu/alex4/supertux have sound problem
<kyak> i'll try that later..
<kyak> i started gmu from command line, not from gmenu2x if that matters
<xiangfu> I also try gmu from command.
<xiangfu> kyak, what is the output of alsamixer -Vall?
<xiangfu> I have 2 'Master' , no 'PCM'
<wej> it does sound very much like an SDL problem. this "Couldn't open gmu.bmp" is an SDL error message (which indeed does not make any sense)
<wej> it could be as simple as just a wrong value of an SDL environment variable.
<kyak> xiangfu: sorry, my Nanonote is left at home, i will tell in several hours
<kyak> xiangfu: do you have any problems with other sdl apps, like nightsky?
<xiangfu> kyak, no
<xiangfu> nightsky works fne
<kyak> damn, at least someone has sdw-823 working :)
<kyak> i had no success trying to make it work, despite of the fact that i had tried two such cards
<kyak> maybe i'll give it another try..
<kyak> or even better, package atusb kernel module for my laptop, which i wanted to do long ago and throw sdw-823 away

<hellekin> is Broadcom feeling the heat of competition? http://www.raspberrypi.org/archives/2221
<viric> sounds like great news
<viric> we'd have to see if this is more than marketing

<xiangfu> kyak: the problem is the buildhost package 'libsdl_1.2.14-2_xburst.ipk'.

<xiangfu> kyak, I just remove the dl/SDL-xxx file. and compile it again. seems it works fine now. let's wait the final image. :)

<mth> hellekin, viric: it's not as big news as the announcement makes it sound, since the GL implementation runs on the GPU
<mth> what they released is ARM code to do remote procedure calls into that GL implementation
<hellekin> thank you for the clarification mth
<mth> check the comments by Luc Verhaegen
cladamw has quit [Quit: Ex-Chat]
<mth> it's a good thing they did release that code, but it's only a small step in terms on openness
<hellekin> on another topic, wpwrak do you remember the discussion we had in Porto Alegre regarding possible strategies for Qi, and especially Software Defined Radio?
<mth> s/on/of
<qi-bot> mth meant: "it's a good thing they did release that code, but it's ofly a small step in terms of openness"
<hellekin> I'd like to discuss that more, because I'm working on a plan to massively deploy SDR in latin america, with the help of DRM and FNF
<mth> meh, it doesn't just replace words...
jekhor has joined #qi-hardware
<hellekin> yeah, given your regex, it should have replaced only only->ofly ;o)

<whitequark> mth: it's nothing at all in terms of openness
<whitequark> that stuff was basically R/E'd already
<whitequark> it's just no one needed it that much to write a EGL shim on top
<hellekin> whitequark: openness? Do you mean freedom? When my mouth is open, flies are free to enter it.

<wpwrak> (broadcom) still nice :)
<wpwrak> hellekin: yeah, i roughly remember. i think the main issue is to a) find a viable use case and b) finance the deployment. you may also need to find someone to provide the fixed infrastructure.
<wpwrak> hellekin: SDR would be a technical choice, not a feature that you use as a differentiator for selling the system, wouldn't it ?
<hellekin> wpwrak: if the deal is to deploy thousands of SDR devices for bridging the digital divide, and have that devices made in Brazil, I think both (a) and (b) can be covered. You're in Buenos Aires, right?
<hellekin> I need you to meet Thiago from the Digital Radio Mundial... I can't talk about the general strategy on IRC, but I can invite you to come for dinner at our place and discuss it. Then you can decide whether you want to participate...
<hellekin> Honestly, I think we are on a solid track :)

<wpwrak> hellekin: yes, i'm in BUE. sure, we can discuss it, crazy idea or not ;-)
<hellekin> crazy enough to work :)
<wpwrak> viric: lovely. i think we need a new word that combines "open", "closed", and "fraud". maybe "bastard" ?
<hellekin> wpwrak: open source
<wpwrak> hellekin: and i'm glad the "DRM" you mentioned isn't the evil one ;-)
<hellekin> abierto como un culo
<hellekin> sure ;o)
<wpwrak> ;-)
<hellekin> we need to reappropriate not only hardware, but also acronyms. :)
<wpwrak> let's hope it isn't just s??t that comes out ;-)
<mth> wpwrak: openwashing? (similar to greenwashing)
<hellekin> mth +!
<hellekin> +1
<wpwrak> mth: i think that's already in taken
<wpwrak> s/in /
<qi-bot> wpwrak meant: "mth: i think that's already taken"

<hellekin> ah doesn't work on others posts :)

<qi-bot> hellekin meant: "ah doesn't work on opers posts :)"
<hellekin> hehehe
* hellekin end of pause
<wpwrak> "i pink pat's already taken" ? that's an odd one. is it from the cybernetic lyrics department ?
<hellekin> cyphernetics pyrics department
<wpwrak> funny, when you google for "pyrics", nothing immediately identifiable as fire-related shows up
<hellekin> yeah, Greek is missing from Google Search algorithms
<wpwrak> hellekin: anyway, when do you propose to meet ?
<wpwrak> i kinda doubt any language spoken within a few astronomical units from google HQ is missing in their algorithms :) they may just not think it likely that someone from .ar would be interested in results for .gr

<larsc> yea, I'm always astonished how different the search results are depending on which google.tld you use
<wpwrak> or where you are ...
<larsc> that's not so bad if you search for generic things
<larsc> if you search for barbershop you'd probably get something close to you
<hellekin> wpwrak: whenever you want, we're all living under the same roof ;o)
<wpwrak> (barbershop) hmm, i guuess youre right, technically: www.imdb.com/title/tt0303714/
<wpwrak> hellekin: how does friday sound ?
<hellekin> s
<hellekin> wpwrak: perfect. What time? Are you free during the day or do you want to have dinner?
<wpwrak> i'm free the whole day
wej has quit [Ping timeout: 272 seconds]
<hellekin> ok, then we can have lunch and enjoy the Sun :)
<hellekin> or whatever you like
<wpwrak> sounds good to me
<wpwrak> friday should indeed be sunny :)

<pcercuei> guys
<pcercuei> is the data copied when calling realloc() ?
<pcercuei> or is there some mmap-fu being applied?
<larsc> depends
<larsc> it's basically up to the implementation how it does it
<pcercuei> ok.
<pcercuei> then I believe I should avoid it if possible
<larsc> if there is enough space to hold the extra data the allocater will just extend the region
<larsc> otherwise it will allocate a new region which is large enough
<larsc> and do a memcpy
<pcercuei> ok
<viric> realloc is quite comfortable
<viric> I like to use it
<whitequark> hellekin: well, OSS and FOSS are different things.
<whitequark> some people I know do not consider BSD-style licenses to be "truly free"
<whitequark> I, in fact, do not consider GPL-style license to be "truly free". it's a weapon in fact, and quite a powerful one.
<whitequark> wpwrak: "broadcom" and "nice" in same sentence? were you replaced by a corporate agent?
<wpwrak> whitequark: well, i give them the benefit of the doubt. that one seems to be a shady deal, though
Jay7 has quit [Ping timeout: 244 seconds]
<whitequark> wpwrak: there was no single instance when broadcom willfully released something good
<whitequark> I believe they opened the bcm4312 wifi driver some time ago, after years of struggle, and it wasn't particularly good
<wpwrak> bad but open code can be replaced with good code
<wpwrak> bad closed code will always stay bad

<whitequark> hellekin: oh, talking about firefox... I don't understand what do they like so much in the bazaar development model.
<whitequark> the fact that bugs which bother lots of people can be opened for 12 years?
<whitequark> objective #0 for a programmer is to produce good software. being an open source project often helps. if objective #0 is not fulfilled, then there is no value in allowing as much people to participate as you want or whatever.
<pcercuei> it's like objective #1, but for computer guys? ;)
