| 10:19:38 | darge | Hi, i've just installed familiar 0.6-rc1 on ipaq3850 with opie. Then i created an normal user-account with adduser. But when i try to login with the account opie seems to be halt! Do i have to add the user to spezial groups? |
| 12:37:02 | hagbard3 | is there any way of using a variable-sized font in a terminal? |
| 14:20:11 | severina | anyone alive in here :) |
| 17:04:43 | Sim-Tim | hello |
| 22:54:27 | wyatt_earp | slaps wyatt_earp around a bit with a large trout |
| 22:54:47 | wyatt_earp | heh, stupid mirc...any who, anyone around? |
| 22:56:15 | wyatt_earp | i'm considering putting familiar on my 3765 |
| 22:56:36 | wyatt_earp | and i wsa curious about which ui's people liked/disliked to use |
| 22:57:08 | moray | hm, he didn't give me time to answer ;) |
| 22:57:14 | wyatt|notgivesht | sorry... |
| 22:57:30 | moray | wyatt_earp: I like GPE, but I'm not unbiased... |
| 22:57:42 | moray | (if that's the kind of question you meant to ask) |
| 22:57:43 | wyatt_earp | any specific reason? |
| 22:58:19 | wyatt_earp | well, maybe a better question would be, could i put both on and then take whatever i don't like off? |
| 22:58:30 | moray | well, I think it's useful to be able to run non-GPE X programs as well, and to be able to export applications to different displays etc., and I like GTK anyway... |
| 22:58:35 | moray | wyatt_earp: yes, if you have enough room |
| 22:59:12 | wyatt_earp | which if any is better at resource management? |
| 22:59:25 | moray | what do you want to do precisely? |
| 22:59:51 | moray | (I'm not sure what you're asking) |
| 23:00:16 | wyatt_earp | well one of my biggest grips about ppc2002 is that when i close something, it doesn't close |
| 23:00:22 | wyatt_earp | it goes background instead |
| 23:00:57 | moray | right, well in GPE things definitely do close normally etc.; I can't remember what happens in Opie/QTopia |
| 23:00:58 | wyatt_earp | aftr a couple of apps, you've got quite a bit of stuff running and it just kinda sucks |
| 23:01:43 | moray | GPE uses X as the underlying system, and a normal window manager (though a tiny X server, and a window manager that's written for handheld devices) |
| 23:02:06 | wyatt_earp | does it sync well with jpilot? |
| 23:03:26 | moray | wyatt_earp: unfortunately I don't think either GPE or Opie has very good sync support just now - I think the recommended thing for Opie is to use some special desktop environment from Trolltech, which isn't very useful |
| 23:03:43 | moray | this is something that is being worked on for both systems just now |
| 23:05:34 | wyatt_earp | ahh, i see...so could i basically, just create a rom back up from the serial port and if i did loose it, send it back? |
| 23:05:54 | moray | wyatt_earp: well, or just use scp to copy across the database files |
| 23:06:07 | moray | (which would be .gpe in your home directory) |
| 23:07:20 | wyatt_earp | so you use scp for all the file transfers |
| 23:08:06 | moray | yes, or presumably you could use ftp or something if you really wanted |
| 23:08:37 | moray | or email them to yourself from your ipaq ;) |
| 23:09:07 | moray | (one moment, upgrading my client...) |
| 23:18:10 | wyatt_earp | so what does the average linux w/gpe install take up on memory |
| 23:19:16 | moray | well, people manage to have full GPE environments on 16 MB iPAQs |
| 23:20:56 | wyatt_earp | nice |
| 23:21:27 | wyatt_earp | an of course, if i really wanted i could just gzip stuff up |
| 23:35:15 | wyatt_earp | well, thank you for your help, i'm sure i'll be back with more questions as i try not to turn it into a brick |
