riniguscan someone with xperia 10 III check licenses for modem_auto_config and ofono-vendor-qti-radio-plugin. those are packages used for volte support. from silence on sfos-porters channel to request for the source, I conclude those are also proprietary. if it is so, we can ask Jolla regarding its licensing plans06:44
rinigusas I don't have 10III, I cannot check myself06:45
rinigusif you have the packages installed, you could use `zypper license` to dump all licenses of installed packages. then look at the list and check the license. (I don't know how to check one package in a time, maybe there is a better way)06:53
merlin1991my screen is badly broken, but i'm trying to create a signal backup to move to a new device08:05
merlin1991lipstick2vnc works fine but the broken screen creates ghost finger presses08:05
merlin1991any idea how to disable the screen input from ssh?08:05
attahrinigus: pkcon get-details says proprietary on both08:19
attahzypper license appears to be fake news ;)08:20
rinigusattah: thanks for checking it!09:06
attahno worries09:06
poetasterpiggz, donnie I wanted to bring the libraries in static. I'll try to get that done this week.10:03
piggzrinigus: attah: rpm -qi ... lists license and other info10:05
riniguspiggz: filed a new question to the meeting: https://forum.sailfishos.org/t/community-meeting-on-irc-26th-may-2022/11458/11 . Feel free to extend14:54
piggzrinigus: ok if i add some reference to ofono qti implementation?14:56
riniguspiggz: sure! I wonder if I can make that question as a wiki?14:56
attahflypig: Is it just be, or is the 26th Ascension Day?14:56
attah(wooo, i might be able to make the meeting - but also, it might not happen)14:57
riniguspiggz: doesn't seem to be possible. feel free to extend the question and I am sure they will manage to connect them. should I request more time?14:58
piggzrinigus: no, i dont fancy a long drawn out debate on the subject14:58
rinigus:)14:58
piggzexpect, no, we are keeping proprietary14:58
rinigusprobably. and then would have to think "what is really the advantage of sfos compared to something else?" it is like this closed source bits are growing which is frustrating. rather tedious to have this internal debate on whether to stay or go with such regularity15:02
piggzrinigus: i wonder if its risky to ask if this driver is definitely no contaminated with the open source qti driver, as i expect whoever wrote this will be familar with the ofono codebase15:02
riniguspiggz: but that is probably something to discuss after the meeting. who knows, maybe they will surprise all of us! :)15:02
riniguspiggz: it is a fair question. it is not our risk that this driver maybe contaminated, but a way to force  it to be open sourced15:04
rinigusI think it is larger risk to keep it hush-hush15:05
piggzrinigus: added15:09
ThaodanI can't say much about the new ofono vendor qti driver.  But think this with hybris we are reusing the Android blobs from Qti. Can you run those and the ofono qti driver that piggz mentioned?16:11
ThaodanMost bits that were doing the telephony parts did connect to the android interfaces and thous to the oss part which then usually connects to the blob part of the driver.16:12
piggzrinigus: harbourlyrics dev hasnt responded in a week19:53
riniguspiggz: I guess we should remove the package. It is always possible to resubmit20:01
piggzremove or disable?20:01
rinigusDisable is also OK, I guess. You're right20:05
piggzThaodan: communi should be disabled for < 4.1?20:11
Thaodanpiggz: yes20:34
Thaodanthanks20:34
