19:35.13goxboxlivehola
19:35.36ebbeyesdoes any one know if the serial lead for all ipaqs is the same?
19:38.54erplebbeyes: yes I do. trying to get linux on it. it's a 5450.
19:39.09pH5ebbeyes: most, but not all. see http://rtfm.vtt.net/pinouts/pin_PDA.shtml.htm
19:39.11ebbeyescool
19:39.31ebbeyestyvm pH5
19:39.34erplbut it does not respond to any connection trials. no luck on the serial port. :-(
19:39.39ebbeyes:(
19:39.57ebbeyesI hope i dont have trouble im getting a 5550
19:40.53erplgood luck for you. maybe I'm just overseeing something... until now I don't know what it could be.
19:41.14ebbeyesbit rate n baud settings checked?
19:43.17erplyes, more than 10 times. should be 115200 8N1 - and minicom shows that config.
19:45.13ebbeyestried using cat ?
19:45.18ebbeyesnetcat
19:45.47ebbeyesjust to see if any data goes across?
19:46.21ebbeyeswait
19:46.26ebbeyesnaw that wouldent work
19:48.38erplyesterday someone told me to try screen. no luck, too.
19:50.07ebbeyesmeybe you could try a ppp connection
19:50.36ebbeyesget pppd on ure *nix
19:52.16erplshouldn't there be a ppp setup on the ipaq then?
19:54.12ebbeyesthere ppp in windows ce
19:54.28ebbeyesor what ever windows called on ipaq these days
19:55.13erpluh, how to setup ppp on that wince? I never wanted to get to know wince that much. ;)
19:55.22ebbeyesloll
19:55.34erplso let's see what's on the blank wince device...
19:55.44ebbeyesmeybe in control panal
19:55.53ebbeyesthere dialup connections?
19:56.05ebbeyesthere must be something for ppp
19:56.27ebbeyesif not wince is totaly retarded
19:57.46erploh, oh, something is coming in. I just clicked on "Connections" in the setup from wince and now there is "CLIENTCLIENTCLIENT..." poping up in minicom... what's that...?:-)
19:57.56ebbeyeslol
19:58.10ebbeyesmeybe ppp trying to start a connection
19:58.58erplmaybe. at least that means, that there is a connection hardware wise. but till now I don't now how to get it the way I want it to.
19:58.59ebbeyescould try close connections folder try proccess again
19:59.14ebbeyesmay of woken it up
19:59.25ebbeyesif not try ppp connection

20:00.18ebbeyesoooooooooo
20:00.27ebbeyeshave u disabled active sync?
20:02.45erplto be honest: I don't know. where to disable it?
20:05.01ebbeyesit says in the howto you need to make a ppp connection before you make a minicom connection
20:05.38ebbeyesstart -> active sync
20:05.51ebbeyestools -> options
20:06.07ebbeyesthen uncheck use active sync
20:06.16erplShould I have overlooked that? I did not see anything concerning ppp before minicom. Do you have the link to the howto you use, please?
20:06.39ebbeyeshttp://math.bme.hu/~lackac/ipaq/linux-ipaq/Linux-iPAQ-HOWTO-1.1.html#sec3.2
20:07.34ebbeyesit uses ppp to transfer files then minicom to comunicate with the bootloader
20:08.35*** join/#handhelds Disconnect (n=dis@static-71-163-126-11.washdc.fios.verizon.net)
20:09.04erplI just read http://familiar.handhelds.org/releases/v0.8.4/install/install-serial.html and had the impression that plain minicom should suffice.
20:13.32erplI'll give that howto a whirl now...
20:14.58ebbeyes:)
20:15.17ebbeyesthe how to you showed me part 4 of a 5 part proccess
20:15.55ebbeyespart 5 even
20:16.10ebbeyesyou need to do parts 1 - 4 of that how to
20:16.21ebbeyeshttp://familiar.handhelds.org/releases/v0.8.4/install/
20:16.34erplyeah I did. and the device buzzes one time as been told.
20:17.06erplbut then: no connection via minicom.
20:18.12ebbeyesyou used bootblaster?
20:18.29ebbeyesand bootldr?
20:19.15ebbeyesthen verify your bootloader
20:20.39ebbeyes115200 8 bits 1 stop bit
20:21.29erplyou mean verifying via bootblaster?

20:41.15ebbeyes:
20:44.57erplebbeyes: as far as i understsand the ppp connection is only used for transfering the files to the handheld. the files have been transfered via sd card. now steps 3 onwards need to be taken...
20:45.20ebbeyesok :)
20:45.58ebbeyeswell you got various input across it at least u know hardware ok
20:47.30erplthat's somehow true. i'm trying to get the effect i had some minutes ago... ("CLIENT...") or something like that.
20:49.00ebbeyestried pressing calender button?
20:49.43erplyes
21:04.16erplebbeyes: I got it. The pitty is I don't really know what it is, but there is the prompt now. *keepmyfingerscrossedthatitwilllast* :-)
21:04.36erplSeems to be a loose connection on in the cradle or something...
21:04.36ebbeyesawsome =D
21:05.13erplanyway, thank you so much for your patience and support!
21:05.18ebbeyesnot long before it all working now =O
21:05.23ebbeyes:) np :)
21:05.29erplalright. I'll let you know.
21:06.00ebbeyesI want to learn any quirks before i put linux on mine :)
21:09.48erplI hope that this ipaq exemplar is almost unique in its behavior and yours will be well-behaved. :)
21:12.14erpluh, that may take a long while... the jffs2-file is about 20MB large... and the serial connection is slow. one MB in three or four minutes.
21:24.32ebbeyes:)
21:24.55ebbeyeswell worth the wait
21:25.09ebbeyesputting opie on?
21:25.21erplno, gpe.
21:26.23erplbtw: do you know what's going on development wise with the familiar distribution?
21:27.28erplI'm asking, because I'm a little bit confused by little comment I read a while ago that familiar will not be developed anymore. Can't really imagine that.
21:28.38ebbeyesi dunno lol im very new here i havnt even got my handheld yet lol
21:29.15ebbeyeswhat you like about gpe
21:29.16ebbeyes?
21:31.20*** join/#handhelds goxboxlive (n=goxboxli@81.80-202-132.nextgentel.com)
21:32.17erplgood question. I'm kinda gnome fan, liking GTK. There is no specific reason for that, except that I don't like KDE. Used it a while and seems to be to bloated for me. That's just a matter of taste. In the end I think GPE is the right joice according to Gnome on my desktop.
21:35.54erpldo you plan to put opie on your 5550?
21:39.12ebbeyeswell from the outset it jus looks better
21:39.38ebbeyesgpe looks bit unupdated
21:40.03ebbeyesits trolltech based i think
21:43.19ebbeyeson my linux i dont use kde or gnome
21:44.00ebbeyesfluxbox on my palm would be pretty cool :P
21:44.20ebbeyeslol
21:48.12erplso you'll take the base familiar install and customize it to your needs?
21:48.31ebbeyesnaw i prob wont be bothered n install opie
21:48.38ebbeyeslol
21:49.39ebbeyesi can always wipe it and start again :)
21:56.43ebbeyesi changed my mind
21:56.50ebbeyesim going gpe as well =D
22:01.09*** join/#handhelds rmoravcik (n=rmoravci@ip-89-102-255-171.karneval.cz)
22:02.04erplTry it. If it's not for you, you may try opie. Maybe opie is more smart on handhelds than gpe. Maybe I shouldn't judge it by looking at Gnome/KDE...?
22:02.25ebbeyesyeh
22:02.37ebbeyesi never liked the qt libary
22:09.29erplme neither. somehow I like c more than c++.
22:12.20ebbeyesI may jus get familure and a nice window manager
22:12.27ebbeyesuse console based apps
22:13.03erplI plan to use some pim stuff and hope for a good synchronisation.
22:15.23ebbeyesyeh it would be nice to have a pda that synchronies well =D
22:15.54ebbeyesi think my sync will be bash scripts =D
22:18.05ebbeyeslol
22:19.29erplbash scripts will only work flawless if you will copy the whole files. so you need to take where you update which data, I guess.
22:24.17ebbeyesmeybe using difftools?
22:24.30ebbeyesi will see lol
22:24.54ebbeyesim pretty sure theres a console alternitive to anything

22:50.27smactionso I was asking help on the channel last night with regards to a web browser and e-mail using familiar and opie (I have an ipaq 39xx with those installed).  However, I was recommended to http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/.  Does anyone have experience with this?  I cannot find anything about installing on 39xx in the wiki.
22:50.40smactionwould I have better luck staying with familiar and switching to gpe
