| 01:11.02 | dock__ | ahoy. can anyone here give some advice to a new opie/familiar user on an iPaq 3800? |
| 01:13.37 | dock__ | i'm getting a lot of application seg-faults...package manager, opie-mediaplayer2...and wanted to know if this is par for the course on a fresh install, or if I may have other issues. |
| 01:28.13 | bluelightning | dock__: IMO, package manager isn't worth the trouble at the moment. The problem is the library it uses to install packages (libipkg) is insanely buggy and causes packange manager to crash too often |
| 01:29.32 | bluelightning | however some work has gone into improving stability across Opie for the next release |
| 01:29.38 | bluelightning | for package management, you could try opie-aqpkg or just using ipkg from the command line |
| 01:47.23 | dock__ | I've just been using ipkg directly from the serial terminal. |
| 01:48.53 | dock__ | Should opie mediaplayer be stable? Also, should it be able to fetch an mp3 via http? it doesn't seem to even attempt to make an http fetch when I add a URL, and the mp3 I tried played for a while, but then segfaulted. I was hoping to use the ipaq as a podcast player. |
| 01:49.15 | dock__ | But I may have suspect hardware, since I haven't touched this device in a couple years, so that is why I'masking. |
| 01:49.23 | dock__ | (is there a memory check utility?) |

| 02:06.49 | bluelightning | dock__: opie-mediaplayer2 is usually ok but I have had it crash on me occasionally |
| 02:07.12 | bluelightning | dock__: I don't know of any memory checking utility myself |
| 02:07.45 | dock__ | tnx blue. |
| 02:07.48 | bluelightning | http is not something I've tried with mediaplayer2 |
| 02:07.52 | bluelightning | np |
| 02:08.32 | dock__ | are there any additional ipkg repositories I should add? or is everything in the default repository? |
| 02:09.02 | bluelightning | dock__: everything should be enabled bar i18n repos |
| 02:09.09 | dock__ | 'k |
| 02:09.28 | bluelightning | however there are a few packages missing from the 0.8.4 repos, you can get them individually from the 0.8.2 repos if you need them |
| 02:09.35 | bluelightning | stuff like lirc |
| 02:14.02 | dock__ | hrm, strange problem. I told my screen to rotate, but it won't rotate back, only upside-down or back horizontal. Restart Opie doesn't fix it either. :( |
| 02:17.17 | dock__ | full reboot fixed it. strange. |

| 03:07.26 | dock__ | Is it at all possible to run esd? And use esd's network transparent audio fromanother computer? |

| 03:35.09 | bluelightning | dock__: I think so, if you're running gpe it has esd I think |
| 03:36.16 | dock__ | installing gpe to try that out now. maybe I'll take to a more familiar unixy environment. |
| 03:36.49 | dock__ | is gpe much less stable than opie? or are they more or less on par? |
| 03:36.57 | bluelightning | dock__: it's not my cup of tea personally |
| 03:37.02 | bluelightning | not really sure |
| 03:37.23 | bluelightning | I haven't used gpe for any appreciable length of time |
| 03:37.43 | dock__ | opie is pretty damn responsive, I've gotta say. I with my desktop was as responsive with 10 times the cpu and memory. |
| 03:37.50 | dock__ | s/with/wish/ |
| 03:38.04 | bluelightning | yeah it's not too bad |
| 03:38.40 | dock__ | should I be using the rc testing branches, or just the stable branch? |
| 03:40.46 | bluelightning | dock__: stable |
| 03:40.54 | bluelightning | there's no new rcs at the moment |
| 03:43.31 | dock__ | are there any limitations on Compact Flash memory size? Will this old H3800 and Familiar handle a 2GB CF? |
| 03:52.47 | bluelightning | dock__: not sure... there may be a 1GB limit, or my memory may be faulty (could be SD that's limited to 1GB) |
| 04:07.27 | dock__ | tnx blue. |
| 04:07.44 | dock__ | I'll do more research on CF first then. |
| 04:13.19 | bluelightning | dock__: http://www.handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/IpaqHardwareCompatibility_2fStorage |
| 04:13.29 | bluelightning | one positive response for >1GB CF |
| 04:18.41 | dock__ | tnx yet again. :) Are you a familiar dev, or just a user? |

| 04:59.50 | dock__ | well, I did just get esd streaming from my desktop via esdcat over the network to my ipaq. nifty. Now I can use the ipaq as a remote speaker. |
| 05:00.09 | dock__ | Had painful ALSA issues with gpe...the ALSA drivers didn't seem to be isntalled by default. |
