03:08.30kergothhey mdz
03:08.32kergothhows it goin man
03:35.13mdzkergoth: getting by
03:35.27mdzkergoth: went to LWCE last week...lots of zauruses at the show
03:35.48mdzstill waiting for the debian-{handhelds,zaurus,whatever} mailing list to be created
03:35.58kergothheheh
03:36.01kergothcool, keep me posted
03:36.13mdzcame very close to getting my zaurus talking ppp with a Treo 300 to use its Internet connection
03:36.13kergothhow was LWCE this year?
03:36.19mdzsmall
03:36.33kergothyeah, not surprising
03:37.33mdznot much free stuff either
03:37.36mdzfor the same reasons I'm sure
03:37.51mdzthe Intel booth had a bunch of zauruses set up for people to play with
03:39.35mdzkergoth: how is the kernel coming along?
03:39.50kergothmdz: on hold due to SD
03:39.55kergothmdz: and a minor bug in TS
03:39.57mdzman, the zaurus would really be perfect if only it had decent wide-area networking
03:39.58kergothmdz: everything else is done
03:40.07kergothincluding the buzzer driver thats a normal dsp device and all that
03:40.10mdzthat Treo has a 144kbps connection, unlimited data, up all the time
03:40.16mdznice
03:40.19mdzTS touch screen?
03:40.22kergothyeah
03:40.37kergoththe X values read are consistently off, by a value proportionate to the current Y value at the time read
03:40.41kergothquite odd
03:40.44mdzweird
03:40.50kergothcompared 2.4.6 to 2.4.19 repeatedly, and cant find any differences other than timing
03:40.52mdzbut Y is dead on?
03:41.07kergothyep
03:41.18mdzhow weird
03:41.19kergothX fluctuates in a relationship with Y, Y is consistent
03:41.24kergothyeah no kidding
03:41.33kergoththe tslib calibrator appears to be able to adapt to it though
03:41.39kergothas it takes a center value, not just corners
03:41.46kergothopie's calibration cant deal with it
03:41.46mdzwhat's the deal with SD?
03:41.53mdzneeds a binary driver I assume
03:41.56kergothwell, block device changes around 2.4.10 or so
03:42.02kergoththe existing binary driver wont work as a result
03:42.15kergothI tried dropping in a wrapper around its function calls to adapt the structures.. no luck
03:42.20kergothwell it worked flawlessly
03:42.21kergothbut
03:42.33kergoththe driver accesses a global array in the kernel which happens to be the structure which changed
03:42.49kergothI cant wrap around that ;) i can make it access a different array, but how would i keep the arrays in sync?
03:43.01kergothI could fix it in about 2 hours flat if i dared disassemble the driver
03:43.06kergothbut I dare not :)
03:43.12mdzbinary drivers...yuck
03:43.26*** join/#openzaurus BiGBiGYLLaMa (~llama@pD9EB3B2C.dip.t-dialin.net)
03:43.41kergothmdz: no kidding
03:43.48kergothmdz: considering how dynamic linux is, its a nightmare
03:43.52mdzwho wrote that anyway?  sharp?  embedix?  someone else?
03:43.56kergothmdz: if lineo had desinged the driver sanely, i wouldnt be dealing with that now
03:44.00kergothlineo/embedix & sharp
03:44.11mdzlinux can get away with it because of the scarcity of binary drivers :-)
03:44.14kergothboth, according to modinfo
03:44.17kergothyep
03:45.05mdzoh, one other big thing, rkrusty is packaging up qtopia-free for debian
03:45.19kergothoh nice
03:45.44mdzI would probably have done it a long time ago if not for the scary build system
03:45.57mdz"make" tries to install stuff in my /usr -> no thanks
03:46.04kergothheheh
03:46.12kergothopie's buildsystem is pretty spiffy now, if i do say so myslef
03:46.18kergoth</shameless plug>
03:46.27kergoththough its ipk generation still sucks, on the todo
03:47.08mdzoh, opie's fixed up now?  maybe I should talk to him about using that instead
03:48.13kergothmdz: it uses roman zippel's LinuxKernelConf as the configuration method, and qmake rather than tmake for the makefile generation
03:48.20kergothmake menuconfig .. make
03:48.22kergothheheh
03:48.51mdzheh
03:49.06kergothautoconf 2.53, any idea how to enable config.cache use?
03:49.13mdzI've been hacking on mythtv a bunch lately; gotten used to qmake, it's ok
03:49.22kergothi've got a configure script here for glib that i cant seem to use a cache to override its tests
03:49.28kergothgrr
03:49.39mdzfor overriding, try config.site or whatever instead of a cache
03:49.55mdzCONFIG_SITE=/path/to/file ./configure
03:50.26mdz2.5x changed the cache stuff, I've noticed the filenames and stuff are different but don't know how much else has changed
03:50.36kergothBy default, configure uses no cache file (technically, it uses --cache-file=/dev/null), to avoid problems caused by accidental use of stale cache files.
03:50.39mdzthe string 'autom4te' keeps coming up, and scares me away
03:50.39kergothfun
03:50.44kergoth./configure -C config.cache
03:50.45kergothw00t
03:50.46kergoth;)
03:52.10mdzI guess too many people were including config.cache in their distributions or something
03:52.15mdzsure does slow things down
03:52.16kergothguess so
03:52.19kergothor pushing them into cvs
03:52.36mdzconfigure --enable-maintainer-mode should turn on caching, that would be smart
03:52.47mdzbecause the same folks using that will be doing a ton of rebuilds in the same tree
03:52.58kergothyeah
03:53.29kergothmdz: thanks for the pointers
03:53.38kergothI learned the old autoconf, but 2.5 has be confused again
03:53.39mdzno worries
03:53.40kergothheheh
03:53.57mdzit doesn't take a version number change to get re-confused by autoconf
03:54.09mdzI have to re-learn half of it every time I need to deal with it
03:54.47kergothhehe
03:54.48kergothgood point
03:55.13mdzwrist break, back in a bit

04:00.16chouimat|Zzzznight
04:00.35mdzsay, is there any hope for usb networking sucking a bit less in the future?
04:00.46kergothusing usbnet instead of usbdnet is a start
04:00.56kergothget 2.4.20 + the usbnet zaurus patch, or 2.4.21-pre which includes it
04:01.02kergothit wont panic your box
04:01.05kergothwhich is an improvement
04:01.05kergoth:D
04:01.32mdzyay
04:02.01mdznow if only dhcpd would detect new interfaces coming up without being restarted, it would actually be usable
04:02.05chouimat|Zzzzkergoth: they're port the 2.4.19 to the vr3
04:02.27kergothchouimat|Zzzz: nice
04:02.38kergothwhy, oh why, do buildsystems _never_ handle crosscompilation sanely?
04:02.49*** join/#openzaurus walters (walters@verbum.org)
04:02.57chouimat|Zzzzkergoth: must create something for that
04:03.47mdzhmm...I just checked out a fresh opie and ran "make clean" and it is compiling things with gcc :-)
04:04.13mdzkergoth: what's different in the opie build between Zaurus and iPAQ?
04:04.20kergothmdz: hardware specific bits
04:04.28kergothmdz: the TS interface is different for example
04:04.41kergothmost hardware specific bits are dealt with at runtime by libopie
04:04.53kergothbut anything in library aka libqpe which is hardware dependent is dealt with at compiletime
04:04.56kergothper qtopia, for compatibility
04:04.57mdztaking another look at packaging this beast maybe
04:05.15mdzcan it do vpath builds?
04:05.27mdzI'd probably want to build both
04:06.10kergothvpath builds.. seperate build obj trees?
04:06.22kergothbrb, need a drink
04:06.27waltersmdz: hacking on Debain/Zaurus recently?
04:06.46mdzwalters: unfortunately not, but I'm starting to play with it again just recently
04:07.07waltersmdz: cool :)
04:07.22mdzwalters: know any listmasters I can bribe to get #174635 closed?
04:07.41waltersmdz: did you talk to Joy?
04:07.42kergothmdz: you know if anyone has started submitting patches to split up various packages to increase package granularity for use in embedded systems/
04:07.47mdzI meant to prod Joy about it, but I keep missing him on irc
04:07.50waltersmdz: he's usually pretty malleable about these things i think
04:08.56mdzkergoth: no...I think probably it's better done with something like apt-src, unless it's trivial things like stripping documentation
04:11.26mdzotherwise it gets complicated with regard to dependencies and such
04:11.34mdzdpkg exclusions would help a lot
04:12.36kergothmdz: god man, you should see me trying to manage a sane package feed with only ipkg
04:12.51kergothmdz: it doesnt have suggests or recommends.. making upgrade paths soon when splitting an existing package is a bitch.
04:12.51mdzI used openzaurus on my trip...you've got quite a bit of stuff in there
04:13.50james_lan-desktopeople were talking about portage, anything come of that, aside from excess irc bits?
04:14.11mdzapt is pretty rough on the zaurus though
04:14.18mdzI bet it's a lot better on the xscale
04:14.18kergothyeah, its a heavyweight
04:14.22kergothheheh
04:14.23mdzthe 5600
04:14.39kergothremember, 5600 isnt pxa255/c0, its got the cache issues
04:14.40mdzthe biggest problem for me was fitting the package lists and cache
04:14.43mewynkergoth: my ideas put to paper, although a bit disorganized www.tuxnami.org/~mike/dragonclaw.txt
04:14.54mdzI don't know much about the hardware at all; I just saw many more MHz :-)
04:15.05kergothmdz: its slower in some things, equal in others.
04:15.06james_lan-desktohow well is linux working dispite those?
04:15.09kergothmdz: and that about sums it up.
04:15.19kergothheheh
04:15.29kergothmdz: I have a C700 unit here, on loan from dynamism
04:15.35kergothmdz: i havent had time to do performance testing though
04:16.29james_lan-desktodoes anyone have linux benchmarks of SA-1110 and pxa-250s?
04:16.44james_lan-desktoibot pxa250 benchmarks
04:16.53james_lan-deskto: I give up, what is it?
04:17.16mdzkergoth: well, that's not very encouraging
04:18.37mdzkergoth: it's been a while since I used qtopia...is it still being developed?  opie is ahead feature-wise, right?
04:18.50mdz(discussing the packaging of one or both in email now)
04:19.17kergothqtopia 1.6 has improved a bit
04:19.41kergothopie merged in its imporvements and continues to be developed, so i'd say opie is ahead
04:19.50mdzok
04:19.53kergothalso, qtopia 1.6's ddatabase backend isnt scalable at all
04:19.55kergothbadly designed
04:20.19kergoththing is, opie isnt released. 1.0 is coming, but until then its heavily in flux
04:20.28kergothand anyone packging it had damn well be aware of that
04:20.29james_lan-desktodoes/is opie (planning on) using a db backend?
04:20.32kergothit could segfault. ;)
04:20.38kergothjames_lan-deskto: it already exists.
04:20.49kergothjames_lan-deskto: sqlite backend.. but afaik its been held up
04:21.00kergothjames_lan-deskto: the main guy working on the pim improvements was in the hospital
04:21.17james_lan-desktothat isn't good, for what?
04:21.27mdzkergoth: great, any other ammo you can give me would be great
04:21.38mdzkergoth: I assume it's easier to get patches into opie?
04:22.25kergothyep, send a patch to the list, if its sane it'll be included within days generally
04:22.38kergothjames_lan-deskto: i dont recall the condition. something intestinal iirc
04:23.39ljppatch?
04:23.53kergothmdz: do note just how much of a pain in the ass it has been releasing a product with a nonreleased GUI.  people have the expectations of a released product, so when it segfaults they're unhappy :)
04:24.57mdz"*** Next, you may run 'makee'."
04:25.02mdzI assume that means make :-)
04:25.08kergothhehe
04:25.09kergothyes
04:25.13kergothbrb
04:25.21ljpno.. run makee
04:25.32ljp:)
04:26.21james_lan-desktokergoth: about that issue with opie-logon not working, it seems it is just segfaulting, because I believe it wants to hit something in /home/root (either that or something I can't decipher)
04:27.57mdzln: creating symbolic link `./qgfx_qws.h' to `../src/kernel/qgfx_qws.h': Permission denied
04:28.02james_lan-desktoprob should reflash anyway (partly botched upgrade, wlan not working etc), so I will test if it is a perm issue in dev (chmod 777 /dev/* :) , then reflash!)
04:28.05mdzkergoth: please tell me it is possible to build opie as non-root now :-)
04:28.37james_lan-desktomdz build or login to?

04:29.04kergothmdz: of course. I never compile anything as root.
04:29.41mdzkergoth: any idea why it's trying to write to my /usr/share/qt?
04:29.41kergothmdz: it creates links in your QTDIR.. necessary for the X11 build.. i.e. if you build for x11, those links get altered, then build for embedded again, it needs to put them back
04:29.45kergothyep
04:30.02james_lan-desktoahh, #$@$$% I was afraid it would work, now what was it choking on, argh!
04:30.10mdzoh, it can build for x11 too?  nice
04:30.11kergothmdz: at build time it expects QTDIR to be the qt source dir, not runtime
04:30.16kergothmdz: :)
04:30.22mdzhmmmm
04:30.49kergothfor x11 we could change it, make it copy the qt headers somewher elocal before altering them
04:30.52james_lan-desktoI hate when things work for reasons  I didn't think of
04:31.01kergoththat'd remove that problem
04:31.17kergothmdz: I'll take care of it. for now, use a qt/x11 source dir :)
04:31.34kergothgenerally people build against qt/e, which generally isnt somewhere like /usr/share ;)
04:31.56mdzthat's what I just did to work around it
04:32.06mdzcp -a /usr/share/qt someplace/else && fix the symlinks
04:32.19kergothhmm, wonder if i could make the buildsystem recognize from $QTDIR whether its qt/x11 or qt/e
04:32.22kergoththen adapt the config on the fly
04:32.24kergoth..
04:32.42mdzyou should talk to rkrusty
04:32.55mdzhe was just saying that trying to build qtopia was pointing out some problems with the way qt-embedded was packaged
04:33.36kergothah, yeah i could talk to him, find out what his needs are regarding the build
04:33.41kergothemail?
04:33.49mdz"Ivan E. Moore II" <rkrusty@earthlink.net>
04:34.20mdzmight want to copy 178676@bugs.debian.org (qtopia wnpp bug) if it's relevant
04:34.30mdzor me
04:34.31kergothokay, thanks
04:34.53kergothI should get more involved with debian.. just not enoguh time in the day to juggle everything
04:35.19mdzdon't I know it
04:36.46mdza mailing list would help a lot in keeping up with this particular aspect of things
04:36.59mdzpeople have been coming out of the woodwork wanting to work on debian handheld stuff

21:44.26LordVankergoth: well there are nice packages already .. ;)
21:44.39pniscool, everything is working again perfectly :)
21:45.01pnisand suspend takes little time too now
21:45.14kergothLordVan: ?
21:45.20kergothsuspend has always had a delay
21:45.28kergoththat delay may fluctuate
21:45.28LordVankergoth: or what you meant with 'if i do it' ?
21:45.39kergothLordVan: I'm not adding packages to our feed without adding their builds to our buildsystem.
21:45.46pniskergoth: before the upgrade it took 27 seconds
21:46.22LordVankergoth: ic .. well i don't even have a working cross-compiler ;)
21:46.37kergothLordVan: then you'll have to wait for me to do it, and its really far down on my todo list :)
21:46.42kergothpnis: as i said, it may fluctuate
21:46.50pnisoh that much?
21:46.50kergothpnis: theres _nothing_ we can do about it, its a falw in the apm implementation
21:46.54LordVankergoth: well i never got that cross-compiler working ;)
21:46.57kergothpnis: I wont be able to do anything until the upgrade
21:47.18pniskergoth: i understand, it is no problem for me
21:48.09pniskergoth: what kind of flaw is it in the apm implementation by the way?
21:48.45pnisand it used to happen with the sharp rom too?
21:49.32LordVanis there some way i can turn backlight on in console?
21:49.52Bovinehold down the menu key perhaps?
21:50.38kergothpnis: nonono
21:50.40kergothlong story
21:50.41kergothhold on
21:50.43kergothi'm on a call
21:50.49pnissure
21:55.52kergothalright
21:55.55kergothheres the situation
21:56.06kergothif you run apmd, and then call apm --suspend, your Z will never wake up
21:56.14kergoththe same is true if your kernel autosuspends you in console
21:56.38kergothwe werent able to isolate the bug, but it was determined that if the apm daemon calls the suspend out within its event loop, the problem doesnt occur
21:56.43kergothso we catch a signal in apmd to do so
21:56.56pnisi see
21:56.57kergoth'apm' is just a shell script that signals apmd if you call it with -s or --suspend
21:57.08kergothyou dont see it in sharp, becaues sharp uses atd, not apmd + opiealarm
21:57.19kergothso you can rmeove the delay by going back to atd, but you remember the time loss bugs back then
21:57.22kergoth..
21:57.32pnisaha i see
21:57.50pnistricky
21:57.51kergothnow i dont want to waste time digging into the apm implementation in 2.4.6..
21:57.58kergothits not worth our time to waste on it when 2.4.19 is so close
21:58.04pnisyes, of course
21:58.13pnisi agree
21:58.44pnisatd has something to do with apm ? i thought it was for the at command
21:58.52kergothnope
21:58.54kergothits a different atd
21:59.00pnisoh
21:59.03kergothits an alarm daemon which sets the opie alarms into the rtc
21:59.06kergothto schedule a wakeup
21:59.15kergothotherwise your Z wont wake up from suspend to alarm you :)
21:59.16pnisi see
21:59.22kergothit also syncs the hw and sw clocks on suspend
21:59.27kergothwhich is why the time loss bug existed
21:59.29kergothit wasnt working
21:59.32pnis:)
21:59.46kergothopiealarm isnt a daemon, it gets called by a suspend script from apmd on suspend
21:59.55kergothwithout apmd we dont have suspend/resume scripts
22:00.01kergothso you cant use opiealarm.. atd is the only option
22:00.17pnisso atd had workarounds for the buggy kernel?
22:00.19pnisi see
22:01.16kergothno, atd didnt touch apm
22:01.23kergothapmd opens the apm_bios device
22:01.26kergothand waits for apm events
22:01.30kergothi.e. suspend, resume, battery low
22:01.43pnisok
22:02.07pnisso when I pressed on/off on the sharp rom, which program switched it off?
22:02.11kergoththat apparently interferes with apm's --suspend, which opens apm_bios _also_, and calls suspend
22:02.20kergothqtoipa caught the suspend
22:02.23kergothand called out apm -s
22:02.27kergothsame as qtopia does now
22:02.33kergothbut apm -s cant be called with apmd running, for whatever reason
22:02.34kergothb00m
22:02.36kergothhence the problem
22:02.46pnisaha I see now!
22:02.53pnisthanks for explaining
22:02.58kergothno problem
22:03.04kergothneale and i hammered on that one for a while
22:03.18kergothI dont know what possessed neale to try doing the suspend from within the apm daemon's event loop, but it worked
22:03.21kergoth:)

22:16.54LordVanargh .. sorry
22:16.57LordVanjapanese input mehtod..
22:17.04LordVanmeant to be Z :)
22:17.22pniskergoth: mplayer did that too until Aman fixed it - but this must have been a lot more sever
22:17.24pnise
22:17.29pnisLordVan: oh :)
22:17.51kergothpnis: the x86 binary uses a x86 lib
22:17.54LordVanpnis: i still switch it on accidetally sometimes ;)
22:17.58*** join/#openzaurus kurre (~kurre@ncircle.nullnet.fi)
22:18.03kergothpnis: i had to add a dir in staging for x86 libraries, and add it to LD_LIBRARY_PATH
22:18.23kergothpnis: so now thers output/staging/arm-linux/lib, output/staging/i386-linux/bin, etc
22:18.34kergothit was about time i started splitting things up by target/build anyway
22:19.20pnisyes that's nice - and there are othjer such broken packages probably
22:20.01pnisLordVan: so you are from/in Japan ?
22:20.17kergothLordVan: c700?
22:20.23kergothLordVan: or 5x00?
22:20.31LordVanpnis: nope just learning japanese ;)
22:20.36LordVankergoth: 5x00 ;)

22:20.56pnisLordVan: i see
22:21.03pnisLordVan: is it an sl5500?
22:21.08kergothjust checkign. c700 has a japanese input switch for the harware keyboard input
22:21.14kergothwhich deafults to on alot of hte time
22:21.22kergothso i keep accidentally typing japanese :)
22:21.35kergothkurre: we're using 2.95.3 atm.
22:21.51pniskergoth: you got a c700 for development ?:)
22:22.33LordVanpnis: SL 5500G
22:22.46LordVankergoth: nice :) i want one :)
22:25.06kurrekergoth: thanks for the info. You don't happen to know about the required old libs for the Hancom & Opera with OZ v3.1rc2 ? The link in faq seems to be broken ...
22:26.04kergothpnis: loaner unit, only have it for a month or so
22:26.07kergothkurre: you dont need them.
22:26.11kergothkurre: the apps work fine out of the box.
22:26.38pniskergoth: that's cool - did you get it from sharp ?
22:27.20kergothpnis: nope, dynamism.
22:27.50kergothLordVan: c700 is a clamshell unit
22:27.55kergothLordVan: 640x480 lcd
22:28.10LordVansounds nice ..
22:28.14LordVangot any pics ?
22:29.04pniskergoth: cool - i guess it would make dynamism's job much easier, if they just had to flash OZ on it
22:29.47kergothpnis: hehe
22:29.54kergothpnis: I'm assisting them w/ the conversion
22:29.59kurrekergoth: ok, that for sure sounds great.
22:29.59LordVannm i got this: http://www.dynamism.com/zaurus/index.shtml
22:30.06kergothpnis: but its nice to have a unit for testing.. when they release the sources i'll put OZ on it
22:30.43pniskergoth: ah, so not for OZ in the first place
22:30.51kergothpnis: right, they want to alter the sharp rom, not replae it
22:31.04pniskergoth: aha, good
22:31.28pniskergoth: a job that you like i guess
22:31.34pniskergoth: sounds good
22:32.05kergothi always like new toys

22:36.41kergothheh, damn
22:37.21pnisthis calculus is really interesting - the teacher is a real idiot, and one has to learn every theorem by heart precisely
22:37.47pnisbut i guess when I will work as a programmer or whatever, I will use this knowledge a lot
22:37.49pnisso I don't mind
22:37.53pnishe hehe eh :)

23:37.55kergothfun stuff
23:38.00LordVannite :)
23:38.18BovineI'm using the shareware doom1 wad atm, I think I played that the most when it came out.
23:38.24kergothhehe
23:38.34kergothi remember when both wolf3d and doom came out
23:38.39kergothfucking amazing compared to anything before

23:57.08KeyserSozewhat shell does OZ use by default, and what is it's startup script (like .bashrc is for bash)
23:57.13kergothash.
23:57.19kergoth<PROTECTED>
23:57.46KeyserSozethanks.
23:57.56kergothnp
23:58.17KeyserSozedoes .profile get sourced when a terminal is started?
23:58.26kergothdefine 'a terminal'
23:58.40kergothembeddedkonsole spawns the shell as a login shell, which sources them, yes
23:58.43kergothif thats what you mean
23:58.46kergoth:)
23:59.06KeyserSozei don't know what embeddedkonsole is.  i meant the "terminal" application, in OZ.
23:59.19kergoth?
23:59.22kergothits not called terminal
23:59.24kergothits called Konsole.
23:59.38kergothassuming you arent on an ancient OZ version
23:59.49kergothbut yes, the _gui_ terminal, regardless of its name, stars a login shell
23:59.54KeyserSozedefine 'ancient'
23:59.58kergothhowever, that feature was added at a certain point in development, the version you have may not have it
