| 10:37.22 | GodEater_ | is this an appropriate channel to ask questions about running debian on a PS3 ? |
| 10:40.36 | pahartik | GodEater_: Yes... |
| 10:47.31 | *** join/#debianppc Lamperi (i=toni@shell.paivola.fi) |
| 10:51.12 | GodEater_ | in that case : I updated my kernel with a build I did last night using code straight out of the PS3 specific git tree, and now have a lovely wireless interface available in debian on my PS3. However, I can't find any help via google for getting it working using wpa_supplicant. I was wondering if I'm truly trail blazing here, or whether I'm just not looking in the right places for help. |
| 11:01.22 | pahartik | GodEater_: I do not know how to use "wpa_supplicant", as I use Bluetooth instead of 802.11 for wireless networking... However, your question is mostly relevant... |
| 11:04.02 | *** join/#debianppc Lamperi_ (i=toni@shell.paivola.fi) |
| 11:06.04 | GodEater_ | I like "mostly" :) |
| 11:16.56 | pahartik | GodEater_: If you do not know how to use "wpa_supplicant", you could ask on even more generic Debian GNU/Linux channel |
| 11:17.35 | GodEater_ | ah, no I do know - I've used it on other machines - I'm more curious about which wpa driver I need to use with the PS3 |
| 11:18.01 | pahartik | GodEater_: Does Linux work well on PlayStation 3? |
| 11:18.09 | GodEater_ | very nicely |
| 11:20.02 | pahartik | GodEater_: What do you use it for? |
| 11:20.25 | GodEater_ | when I'm home, I use it as a media centre |
| 11:20.34 | GodEater_ | when I'm not, it's a build server for the rockbox project |
| 11:22.59 | GodEater_ | I'm currently trying to lose the long ethernet cable draped across my living room floor. It's not popular with the g/f |
| 11:23.00 | pahartik | GodEater_: Do you have DVB tuners attached to it? And Bluetooth remote controller? And Bluetooth keyboard? |
| 11:23.16 | GodEater_ | No to DVB tuners |
| 11:23.28 | GodEater_ | I have the Sony BT remote control - haven't got round to configuring it in linux though |
| 11:23.38 | GodEater_ | going to try a BT keyboard as soon as I own one :) |
| 11:25.53 | pahartik | GodEater_: "Apple Wireless Keyboard"? |
| 11:26.27 | GodEater_ | the only Apple manufactured thing I own is an iPod |
| 11:30.46 | pahartik | GodEater_: I have been thinking about getting PlayStation 3 for workstation and media player |
| 11:31.49 | GodEater_ | as long as you don't expect accelerated 3D gfx, it's a decent platform |
| 11:32.13 | GodEater_ | it runs *so* quietly |
| 11:32.21 | GodEater_ | I can barely hear it when it's on |
| 11:34.37 | pahartik | GodEater_: I am happy with properly accelerated 2D graphics (especially for video content) |
| 11:35.26 | GodEater_ | in that case I'm duty bound to warn you that when *I* use it as a media player for video, I use mplayer from a console, not from within X |
| 11:35.35 | GodEater_ | because the 2d video acceleration under X sucks at the moment |
| 11:36.02 | GodEater_ | this is apparently a codec issue, since none of the popular ones are optimised to use the SPEs |
| 11:42.24 | pahartik | GodEater_: All right... So it would be workstation for now, until "ffmpeg" library or something, supports features of CELL CPU |
| 11:43.24 | GodEater_ | indeed |
| 11:50.26 | pahartik | GodEater_: I have been thinking of using PlayStation 3 Bluetooth remote controller with workstation as well, but I do not have it yet... There has been talk about using Wii Bluetooth remote controller with Linux and other systems, but no articles about PlayStation 3 Bluetooth remote controller... Maybe "Wiimote" attracts more attention because it does have something "new" (motion sensor)... |

| 11:52.33 | GodEater_ | well as I say, I've not got round to trying the remote out yet |
| 11:52.40 | GodEater_ | I'll pop back in when I do and let you know |
| 11:53.56 | pahartik | GodEater_: That would be nice... I am big fan of Bluetooth... |
| 12:14.23 | GodEater_ | pahartik: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-555684-postdays-0-postorder-asc-start-25.html |
| 12:14.32 | GodEater_ | there's a post in there indicates the BT remote works just fine |
| 12:18.41 | pahartik | GodEater_: Might get one for testing then... |
| 12:23.18 | GodEater_ | same thread also indicates wpa_supplicant doesn't work on the PS3 :( |
| 12:25.43 | pahartik | GodEater_: Damn that... I am still reading, long thread... |
| 12:28.00 | GodEater_ | heh - that one is only 4 pages - the other PS3 thread on the gentoo forums is over 18 pages long |
