| medgefan | I am trying to make the mouse cursor visible in sfos, using this patch https://github.com/elros34/mousetracker-lipstick-patch but it errors when i try to apply it in patch manager. any ideas? | 18:19 |
|---|---|---|
| attah | Do it manually? | 18:21 |
| medgefan | how would i do that? | 18:22 |
| attah | as in copy-paste from the diff to the affected file, stone-age style | 18:22 |
| medgefan | i guess i could try that if there is no better way | 18:24 |
| attah | the better way is fixing the errors; which often involves at least some of said manual work | 18:25 |
| medgefan | it's not showing due to an error? i thought it was by choice because it's mainly meant to be used wit the touchscreen? | 18:26 |
| attah | what do you mean? i was referring to the errors you were asking about | 18:28 |
| medgefan | oh right | 18:29 |
| medgefan | sorry, i thought you said th 0e mouse cursor not showing is in error, like a bug | 18:30 |
| medgefan | i see what you're saying now | 18:30 |
| attah | medgefan: and you know you probably break the whole gui if it goes wrong, right? | 18:49 |
| medgefan | i figured as much yeah | 19:02 |
| medgefan | that's why patchmanager is safer right? since it patches things in ram | 19:03 |
| medgefan | currently trying to compile that patch as i couldn't find it in patchmanagers web catalog | 19:05 |
| attah | medgefan: Not sure... never used it | 19:06 |
| attah | But how would it detect failures anyway? | 19:06 |
| medgefan | no idea | 19:07 |
| medgefan | i tried to run qmake because the source includes a .pro-file | 19:07 |
| attah | surely it's "sfdk build"? | 19:07 |
| medgefan | getting errors for missing modules | 19:07 |
| medgefan | oh ok | 19:07 |
| attah | qmake would run your host qt... unless you are running it inside the sdk i guess | 19:08 |
| attah | it built just fine here | 19:09 |
| medgefan | i searhed for sfdk on zypper ut no dice | 19:09 |
| medgefan | but* | 19:09 |
| attah | oh come on | 19:09 |
| attah | https://docs.sailfishos.org/Tools/Sailfish_SDK/ | 19:09 |
| medgefan | i am new to all of this so pardon my ignorance | 19:10 |
| attah | it's not *that* popular heh | 19:10 |
| attah | no worries... but it's still cross-compiling, and that is not usually something you just install from an official package manager | 19:11 |
| attah | or are you on device? | 19:11 |
| medgefan | on device yeah | 19:11 |
| attah | ah | 19:11 |
| medgefan | i.guess i can set it up on my laptop if needed | 19:12 |
| attah | Building apps on device isn't exactly common | 19:13 |
| medgefan | oh ok | 19:13 |
| medgefan | i can see that from the deelopers perspective | 19:14 |
| attah | i think it is theoretically possible... but there will be headaches with conflicts and storage space | 19:14 |
| medgefan | makes sense | 19:14 |
| medgefan | thanks | 19:14 |
| attah | It is not as much of a generic linux computer as it could be... but more or less enough imo | 19:15 |
| medgefan | i like it so far | 19:15 |
| attah | I guess i could say the same - coming up on 10 years continuous usage by the end of the year | 19:16 |
| medgefan | impressive | 19:18 |
| medgefan | i was using the original jolla phone when it came out for about a year, only just got back into it with an xperia 10 ii | 19:19 |
| attah | Just never seen the reason to switch... Android is such a shitshow | 19:19 |
| attah | nice | 19:19 |
| medgefan | i have been using symbian and meego before this | 19:19 |
| attah | The N9 was my first smartphone | 19:20 |
| medgefan | not really a developer myself but at least i learned quite a bit about linux over the last few years | 19:20 |
| medgefan | nice. i got the N8 before that, then N9 and finally 808 | 19:21 |
| medgefan | btw, i plugged in an UVC USB 2.0 capture card into my device today, it's picked up by v4l2 on every PC i used it on, shows up as /dev/videoN but not on sfos? it shows in dmsg though | 19:26 |
| attah | medgefan: iirc the kernel options for that were not on - but are now, so we just need another major update | 19:26 |
| attah | at least on my III | 19:26 |
| medgefan | v4l2? | 19:27 |
| attah | something-something usb-video in the kernel | 19:27 |
| medgefan | ohh | 19:27 |
| medgefan | are you on a development build of sfos? | 19:28 |
| attah | medgefan: no, just saw it in the repos | 19:29 |
| medgefan | also wonder what media player i can use to play the device file. i would use mpv, and i can inside a container but they cannot access /dev i guess | 19:29 |
| medgefan | okay cool | 19:30 |
| attah | or was shown it maybe... was fishing for just that anyway | 19:30 |
| medgefan | ill keep my eyes open for it | 19:30 |
| attah | My plan was https://github.com/piggz/harbour-shutter | 19:31 |
| medgefan | would be neat to have a hdmi screen in my pocket even if the performance sucks | 19:31 |
| * piggz sees ping | 19:31 | |
| attah | well, sorry (: | 19:31 |
| piggz | :) | 19:31 |
| attah | but do keep up the amazing work | 19:31 |
| medgefan | will it play all uvc capable devices or just the onboard cameras? | 19:32 |
| piggz | shutter will do all cameras supported by libcamera, inc uvc | 19:33 |
| medgefan | i was testing that with the capture card attached but i guess there was no device file | 19:33 |
| medgefan | sweet | 19:33 |
| attah | Found the kernel config diff agian: https://github.com/mer-hybris/android_kernel_sony_msm/compare/7dbf2a9ca9a512615c53468525cb4070ab0b680b...6f165cbf4d5890c83d940f11362a71eb65b08f8a#diff-2f1454f34d3e4b728770ab655e61991e5ef5e7f06693a4441bf0b7fcaf5aae8bR526 | 19:34 |
| mal | attah: related to what issue? | 19:35 |
| attah | mal: USB video enablement | 19:36 |
| mal | ah | 19:36 |
| medgefan | nice | 19:36 |
| mal | not sure how well qt handles such cameras | 19:36 |
| mal | probably not really tested on sfos at all | 19:36 |
| attah | that's why we have piggz ;) | 19:37 |
| mal | that reminds me, maybe I should continue my sdr project some day | 19:37 |
| attah | that sounds like a cool idea | 19:37 |
| attah | I think i had this running at some point: https://osmocom.org/projects/osmo-fl2k/wiki | 19:38 |
| mal | I had some hacky app to scan radio frequencies using a usb sdr dongle, really a dvb receiver but can be abused | 19:38 |
| attah | I think i have one of those laying around too | 19:38 |
| mal | I had all kinds of wip builds for sdr https://build.sailfishos.org/project/show/home:mal:sdr I should update those | 19:39 |
| attah | but never really got around to doing anything... couldn't find a good application to use with it - which is quite surprising given how relatively popular it is | 19:40 |
| mal | I have locally newer gnuradio also | 19:42 |
| attah | why do i mess with printers when i could be messing with radio? xD | 19:43 |
| mal | heh, it's nice that we have good printing app | 19:44 |
| medgefan | attah: you said you managed to build that package. i installed sfdk now, but i get errors i cannot find anything about online... | 22:36 |
| medgefan | The required configuration option 'target' is not set | 22:36 |
| medgefan | that's what i get when running `sfdk build` | 22:38 |
| medgefan | looks like i figured it out | 22:55 |
| medgefan | `sfdk -c target=SailfishOS-4.5.0.18-aarch64.default build` did the trick | 22:55 |
| medgefan | yup, that broke the UI hard lol | 23:04 |
| medgefan | "No apps running" was flashing | 23:04 |
| medgefan | and couldn't get anywhere | 23:04 |
| medgefan | had to do a hard reset it seemed | 23:05 |
| medgefan | booted up fine after, good thing patchmanager doesn't apply patches automatically on boot | 23:07 |
