Hi there.
<AlienSoldier>
There is an annoying bug with non native app, VLC, Falkon... where some menu are not fully rendered, it display a bit of the first item and the remaining part is kept greyed out.
<SamuraiCrow[m]>
<coolcoder613> "pings SamuraiCrow" <- W2C2 uses pthreads to do its multithreading. Perhaps that drags in the atomic operations for Posix.
<SamuraiCrow[m]>
SamuraiCrow[m]: BTW, I have notifications on my phone programmed to go silent after 10 pm local time.
<Begasus>
good idea :)

Hi :) My name is Calisto Mathias... I'm a student in college right now... Im really glad that I came across this OS... Im actually trying for GSoC and am really really interested in contributing to operating systems in general... I've learnt quite a bit of C++ and am reading the docs available on the Haiku Website. If anyone could guide me through what should be my next steps.. It would really really help :)
<HaikuUser>
Also I'm really sorry if this is out of the blue.. It's my first time using an IRC chat client... so do forgive any errors or mistakes that I make :(

On how to use C++ for creating things on Haiku
<Calisto>
Oh okay
<Calisto>
Ill send an email to them then
<Calisto>
Thanks so much :)

Begasus @_oftc_Begasus:matrix.org: I've updated the recipe as you advised and fixed a forgotten translation after we spoke yesterday. Didn't change the profile.d though.
Calisto has joined #haiku
<Begasus>
Hi ilzu[m], I'll do a check in a bit :)
<Begasus>
first one, switch lines for srcGitRev and REVISION
<Begasus>
if you enable it it should save to ~/config/settings/Vision/logs CalistoMathias
<Begasus>
Finaly got Kdenlive launching :D
<Begasus>
Looks good ilzu[m], did you try this on 32bit?
<Begasus>
Build is OK on 64bit
<ilzu[m]>
Begasus: Not the latest version yet, but it shouldn't have anything that won't compile on gcc2. I did yesterday though.
<ilzu[m]>
I can test it now
<Begasus>
nice, will have a go at it later also on 32bit, need to check a few others first there
<Begasus>
that's nice too :)
<ilzu[m]>
Works on 32bit too
<Begasus>
+1!
<Begasus>
maybe you could do a tagged release at your github repo?
CalistoMathias has quit [Ping timeout: 480 seconds]
<ilzu[m]>
Of course.
<Begasus>
that way we could get rid of the srcGitRev tag :)
<Begasus>
Or leave it like it is and first do a PR at haikuports?
<Begasus>
nah, should be good I think :)

thanks to PulkoMandy and korli, got my phone to get recognized by the usb_rndis driver (for USB tethering)... too bad I managed to get a KDL while testing :-D

NOICEly done Begasus! :-)
<Begasus>

<zard>
Begasus: Is that running on KF6?
<OscarL>
pretty sure kdenlive will get featured on next video by that ActionRetro guy :-D
<Begasus>
also nice when upstream likes the posts on mastodon :D
<Begasus>
no zard, still KF5 (5.114.0)
<zard>
Heh, ok. Still nice though :)
<Begasus>
not that fast OscarL, current KF5 isn't up to it I think :)
* zard
still is thinking about making a mastodon account...
<Begasus>
and my kio and kirigami aren't what I would like to be (kdevelop is still crashing with the new kio) :/
<Begasus>
no client in the depot yet zard (PR open for an older version that crashes here when checking)
<zard>
So you still haven't published Tokodon?
<Begasus>
nope
<zard>
I believe Mastadon has RSS feeds, so that's one option for following feeds on Haiku
<OscarL>
Cool! managed to run "pkgman update" using and old tablet for USB-tethering (was freezing my netbook yesterday). Rebooting to catch latests waddlesplash's usb fixes.
<Begasus>
afk again :)
* zard
wonders how fast two devices connected over USB tethering can communicate with each other. Maybe 1 or 2 gigabit over USB 3.0?
<OscarL>
(on a netbook without a battery) "Extended baterry info" shows: "Capacity: 1332036128 mAh" and "Current rate: 1735289200 mA". ROFL!
<zard>
lol!
<OscarL>
zard: I only have one device with USB 3.0 (the rest of my machines are 2.0). And I've only have one confirmed working usb_rndis device, for now. I'll surely do some test if I get another phone working :-)
<OscarL>
I think I'll be still limited by my router, thou (doubt we can do "WiFi direct" between two devices on Haiku)
<zard>
I mean communication directly from the computer to the phone. Surely no router is necessary there?
<OscarL>
still limited to WiFi speeds in any case, so...
<zard>
Even though the phone and computer are connected through usb tethering?
<OscarL>
usb tethering is equivalent to using the phone as a USB-WiFi adapter.
<OscarL>
not usb<->usb.
<zard>
Hmm, that's strange, but ok
* OscarL
wishes USB-to-USB was possible.
<win8linux[m]>
It is possible with USB-C.
<win8linux[m]>
I just did it last week between two phones.
<OscarL>
win8linux[m]: I assume it does ethernet over USB-C?
<win8linux[m]>
No, MTP.
* OscarL
wishes USB-to-USB as in the old days of Win9x's "direct-cable connection" via a serial or parallel cable :-D
cocobean has joined #haiku
<cocobean>
Hello.
<zard>
o/
<OscarL>
even ran IPX over it, so we could do some Doom deathmatches :-P
<OscarL>
\o
<win8linux[m]>
With USB-to-USB, the two devices must negotiate on who is the host device.
<win8linux[m]>
On Android for example, this is done through USB settings.
<win8linux[m]>
* USB settings which can be accessed through a notification.
<OscarL>
makes sense, was about to point that host/device thing. (my hardware is all very old, so my practical knowledge of new tech is non-existent :-D)
<win8linux[m]>
All this being said, if one device has a default role/device type assigned then that will take priority.
<OscarL>
I DO remember wondering about doing DCC with USB-1.1... good thing I read enough before attempting to hack such a cable back in the days :-P
<win8linux[m]>
For example, a PinePhone with postmarketOS by default will act as a wireless hotspot (RNDIS).
<win8linux[m]>
Plugging it into another device with USB-C will automatically designate it as a network source.
<OscarL>
same as I'm doing now with an old tablet and my old netbook (after selecting USB-tethering on the tablet) via USB-A 2.0.
<win8linux[m]>
Oh another quirk with USB-to-USB is that depending on which cable end is plugged in, sometimes a device will be automatically designated as a host.
<win8linux[m]>
This occasionally can cause issues with renegotiation.
bbjimmy has quit [Quit: Vision[]: i've been blurred!]
<OscarL>
I thought zard was talking about the speeds you'll get by connecting two computers via RNDIS between them, or by connecting a USB cable between them (without intermediary devices, assuming you can do that).
<win8linux[m]>
* This can occasionally cause issues with renegotiation.
<zard>
Indeed, two computers connected directly through RNDIS
* zard
starts imagining USB networks complete with USB routers
bbjimmy has joined #haiku
<zard>
Goodbye ethernet! We've all switched to abusing the USB protocol :D
<OscarL>
zard: computers directly connected via RNDIS is.... just WiFi with the extra step of using either a phone or tablet as WiFi card/adapter.
<zard>
No, I mean one computer with a usb cable connected directly to the other one.
<OscarL>
Ok... then RNDIS has nothing to do there :-D
<zard>
Over ethernet :)
<zard>
Because... why not?
<OscarL>
and yeah... would love to use USB<->USB as ethernet cable (specially now that my "new" netbook doesn't even comes with an ethernet port :-()
<zard>
Ok, that sounds like a good idea. My laptop doesn't have an ethernet port either :(
<OscarL>
and the intel wifi card it has.... even shows network under Haiku... but it refuses to connect to any of them :-(
<OscarL>
thus... why I'm messing around with usb_rdis right now :-D
<zard>
That explains everything :^)

<OscarL>
was after simply closing a Tracker window on a mounted microSD card.

<OscarL>
then I got "usb_disk: sending the command block wrapper failed: Device check-sum error"
<OscarL>
some "usb error ehci 4: qtd" lines... then "usb hub 36: port 6 device removed"... and lastly:

"usb_disk: failed to queue data transfer: Unknown Device Error".

those ehci qtd errors do happen, they're indeed annoying

<scanty>
nice IBM machine
<OscarL>
one I got the K7... we were in heaven :-D, heck... my 60 GB HDD was labeled "Bottomless" :-D
<scanty>
it's funny, now I have more RAM than I did HD space back in the day
<OscarL>
comming from my mate's 2 GB HDD, and my 640 MB Quantum Fireball... 60 GB was impossible to fill up :-D
<scanty>
yeah, I think I had around 8 or 10 GB HD space... still hard to fill back then
<OscarL>
even after ripping every CD we could get a hold of... we still had plenty of space :-D
<scanty>
yeah, i remember when we first discovered mp3s
<scanty>
downloading them on dial-up took forever
<OscarL>
first mp3 we made.... an 11 mins Iron Maiden track... took about 3 hours to convert to mp3.
<scanty>
wow
<OscarL>
first encoders were SLOOOOOW :-D
<scanty>
yeah... the computers were, too, we just didn't notice :^)
<OscarL>
a couple of years later... we were blown away by "gogo-no-coda" for BeOS (a Japanese modification of Lame)
<OscarL>
it was 10x faster than anything we had for DOS/Windows :-D
BrentNewhall has joined #haiku
<OscarL>
not knowing better, we thought it was either magic, some trick, or this BeOS thing was REALLY good :-D
<OscarL>
lots of dirty trick to speed up mp3 encoding, but gogo-no-coda wasn't playing dirty... it was just very well optimized...
<OscarL>
unlike musicmatch's encoder, that did things as just using a 16 KHz filter to have less things to encode :-D
<scanty>
i remember gogo!
<scanty>
IIRC, it was written in ASM
<scanty>
there was a frontend called GoGo Gadget
<OscarL>
yup!
<scanty>
ah.... good times :^)
<scanty>
I use FLAC for everything now
<scanty>
space is cheap.
<BrentNewhall>
Good day! Anyone here familiar with Genio and know how to run the app you've built and display stdout at the bottom of the Genio window?
<scanty>
man, if they can only port Kontact, I could use Haiku full time.
<OscarL>
scanty: got most of my collections re-ripped with lame --r3mix back in the days.... was transparent when I was younger, and as I age doubt I'll ever notice :-D
<scanty>
me too.... i've lost a bit of hearing from going to concerts and clubs and being in the front near the speakers
<OscarL>
Hello BrentNewhall. Still not using Genio regularly here, so I'm not of much help, sorry.
<x512[m]>
scanty: Is there any native BeOS/Haiku NES emulator (do not use Qt/SDL etc.)?
<OscarL>
BrentNewhall: if you see AtomoZero here, ask him. Or you can also try asking over the forum?
<scanty>
OscarL I remember when I was much younger, I was able to hear the 31KHz flyback transformer power up the TV
<scanty>
I'd be surprised if I could hear above 15KHz now.
<OscarL>
Hearing 31 KHz makes you superman. Surely you heard one of the lower harmonics (even if 20 KHz).
<scanty>
yeah, I can't hear 20KHz anymore
<scanty>
earm 20Hz rather
<scanty>
well both
<scanty>
:^)
<OscarL>
we ran some audiometries back in university (I was studing bio-medical engineering)... most of our fellow students were pretty deaf :-D
<OscarL>
too much "clubing" :-D
<scanty>
yeah
<scanty>
i studied electronics.... computers were always a side hobby for me
<scanty>
i didn't choose to learn computers in college because it was very boring.
<OscarL>
somehow people that liked metal music had better hearing thresholds, we found out :-D
<OscarL>
was pretty funny. I guess big concerts weren't so frequent, as with people that went to dancing every weekend :-D
<phschafft>
I have this condition that basically mutes the speech range for me.
<scanty>
i believe telephone is 3.3KHz.... can you hear that?
<OscarL>
phschafft: in general, or for some people in particular? I know a few cases of "selective deafness" :-/
<phschafft>
but higher frequencies are fine, and I'm always happy if someone 'dares' to use a note > 1kHz ;)
<phschafft>
OscarL: haha.
<phschafft>
OscarL: more like -80dB at 500Hz .. 5kHz ;)
<OscarL>
ouch :-(
<scanty>
yikes
<OscarL>
or a blessing, if you hate people :-D
<scanty>
haha
<phschafft>
but I could hear the the difference between the timings of two different operating systems for a CRT set to the same settings thru a solid stone wall.
<phschafft>
(different systems still use a slightly different timing for those many, many parameters VGA actually has)
* OscarL
remembers messing with modelines and hearing his mistakes :-D
<phschafft>
;)
HaikuUser has quit []
<scanty>
hmmm someone on my ISP
<scanty>
let's see if they are near me....
* scanty
does a reverse ip lookukp
<scanty>
lookup*

Wanted to run some NES emulator on Haiku riscv64 on VisionFive 2.
<OscarL>
BrentNewhall: still here? I've just installed Genio, build the example "Console application", and was able to run it and see the output on Genio's Console I/O tab at the bottom.
<scanty>
ah he was in NYC
<OscarL>
BrentNewhall: what I did was going to "Project->Project settings...", and marked the "Run in Terminal" checkbox, and just in case, added "my_cli_app" in the "Release project target" field)
<OscarL>
BrentNewhall: the I just hit the big green "Play" button at the toolbar, and presto... output was sent to Console I/O.
<scanty>
x512[m] there's some ASM in my emulator, it would have to be backported to C in order to run on non-x86/x64 platforms
