18:30.12mewynkergoth:  ping
18:30.16kergothmewyn: pong
18:31.33mewynkergoth: i recently installed linux for an MCSE friend of mine, and it got me to thinking about one of linux's very weak points.  configuration
18:32.05kergothI take it LinuxConf isnt sufficient? ;)
18:32.19mewynhardly
18:32.40mewynfirst of all, its such a headache with the bazillion config files for linux
18:32.55kergothI think that sort of approach is best, since there's no way in hell you'll get the various projects to standardize on configuration syntax
18:33.45mewynthat's kinda one thing that i ended up thinking will keep linux small time
18:34.03kergothI disagree. small time for the _desktop_ perhaps
18:34.11mewynyah
18:34.15kergothconfiguration of _any_ unix is a pain, it always has been
18:34.24mewynbut i don't think it should be
18:34.26kergothhasnt caused Sun or IBM to fail in teh server arena :)
18:34.55kergothI dont think it shoudl be either, but without a standard or policy for configuration that is linux-wide, you need a pluginable config system ala linuxconf
18:35.08mewyn*shudder*
18:35.32kergothheh, good luck trying to impose a configuration standard :)
18:36.11kergothnow they could impose a standard in UnitedLinux, and patch all the necessary apps
18:36.20kergothbut that again would only apply to apps with the distribution
18:36.36kergothand you cant force the upstream maintainers to accept the patches globally either
18:38.18mewyni dunno
18:38.35kergothjust work on a better UI for linuxconf
18:38.46kergothI think the concept is sound, given the limitations of what we can do
18:40.23mewynit's kinda like devfs
18:40.28mewynfuckin awesome idea
18:40.36mewynbut can't get people out of their ruts to change
18:40.45kergothheh, devfs was worse than that
18:40.49kergothits implementation sucked
18:41.15mewyni havent' had problems in later versions
18:41.19kergothdevicefs now, it is a solid idea with what appears to be a pretty solid implementation
18:41.30mewynbut devfsd is a bitch
18:41.33kergothmewyn: no one has touched its code in ages, and it requires direct support for it in each driver
18:41.41mewynhrm
18:41.51mewyndevicefs in 2.5?
18:42.02kergothmewyn: devicefs, device registration occurs in areas above the driver. if you register a character device, you support devicefs.. implicitly
18:42.08kergothmewyn: yeah. read up on the Device Model
18:42.21kergothdevicefs is just a filesystem interface into the device model, afaicr
18:42.23kergothits quite cool

20:30.21teferianyone feel like giving me a hand getting Opera to run on OZ 3? I've gotten the opera ipk installed and generated, and I know I need to gank some libraries from the Sharp ROM (I read the FAQ), but the forum post linked to from that specific FAQ appears to be on a forum that's quite down...
20:37.16*** join/#openzaurus ulyx (~ulyx@modemcable120.184-130-66.que.mc.videotron.ca)
20:42.45kergothteferi: just use the rcs, it should work out of hte box without any libs
20:45.11teferircs?
20:46.13teferioh, the release candidate 3.1?
20:46.14teferipoking through the sharp forums, it seems that that has problems loading images.
20:47.16kergoththe release candidate is 1) more stable and 2) more feature rich than 3.0, other than the wifi kismet bug
20:47.32teferiokay.
20:47.40teferiwill it still fit on a 5000?
20:47.47kergoth?
20:47.49kergothof course.
20:47.57kergothI'm not removing 5000d support. ever.
20:48.09teferiand the initrd and kernel will fit on a 16M CF card that's actually 15.2M?
20:48.18teferiI'm working with somewhat limited resources, heh.
20:48.29kergoth1) you can flash initrd.bin and zImage independently if you have to
20:48.41kergoth2) inird.bin is approximate 14megs, zimage is approximately 600k
20:48.46teferiyeah, thought so
20:48.47teferigreat!
20:48.51kergoth3) 3.1 is not any bigger than 3.0 :)
20:48.55teferiI'll go grab the card and reader and flash the new one on.
20:48.56teferiThanks a lot.
20:48.59kergothno problem
20:49.14teferiI just got this yesterday from a friend who hasn't been using it much - can't see why.
20:49.36teferiThinking I'll be buying my own zaurus once the American version of the C700 comes out in the fall.
20:53.07kergothif it comes out in the fall.
20:53.20kergothI dont recall reading any Sharp press release regarding it, which means its rumor.
20:53.29teferithe guys at the intel booth at linuxworld said it would.
20:53.54kergothSharp has an internal english rom for the c700, but until a press release is out, nothing is guaranteed.
20:54.04teferiyeah, the japanese c700 they had there was running it
20:54.25kergoththat reminds me, I need to pester the sharp japan folks to get that rom image
20:54.30kergothbrb
20:57.34kergothteferi: fyi:
20:57.34kergoth> The C700 in the US, if ever?
20:57.35kergothNo, the C700 is a Japanese line product just like the A3 and will not be
20:57.35kergothcoming to the US. (this is an update from a month ago where speculation
20:57.35kergothabounded)
20:57.47teferikergoth, Yeah, they said it wouldn't be under that name.
20:57.48kergoth^^-response from ben meyer, who works for sharp US
20:58.11kergothwell obviously, they have to up the battery if nothing else
20:58.14kergothits not ready for the US market
20:58.16teferiyeah
20:58.19kergothand the stock qtopia looks like crap
20:58.28kergothI sincerely hope they load a decent qt2 style on there
20:58.29teferithat's why the delay is so long, they said - gotta fix the battery issue
20:59.14kergothteferi: I have a c700 here, fyi. I'm working with Dynamism
20:59.20kergothI hope they do bring it here, it'll sell like mad
20:59.43kergoththough I hope they outfit it with a C0 stepping of the pxa chip, which is less buggy
21:00.13teferiI fell in love with the thing when I saw it at linuxworld
21:00.35kergothyeah, it has that affect on ya :)
21:01.13teferigorgeous screen, much more usable keyboard...if they can fix the battery problem, it'll sell like crazy
21:01.52kergothyup
21:02.06kergoththe performance needs work, which is hwy i hope they switch to C0
21:02.12kergothapp launch times are horrendous
21:02.23kergothand the launcher.. god, it takes like 5 minutes to boot the damn thing
21:02.32teferithat sucks
21:03.06kergothyeah, I'm hoping to play with prelink on the OZ rom on it
21:03.12kergothshould improve that a lot
21:05.13teferiflash, baby, flash...
21:08.58mewynkergoth: do you know how i can convert a string object to a float?
21:09.03mewynthis is driving me nuts
21:09.47teferiatof on whatever method of the object yields a C-style string?
21:10.16mewynatof(char *), i need to use a string object, not a standard c style string
21:10.21teferiyeah.
21:10.27mewynit doesn't work
21:10.30teferithere's got to be a method on the string object which will return a c string
21:10.40mewynnone that i can find
21:10.52mewyni can't find any god damned docs on STL anyway
21:10.53teferieven if it's operator char*
21:11.37teferiI think String::data() is it...don't quote me.
21:12.17kergothyeah, theres a metho, i dont recall what it is though :)
21:12.30kergothi havent touched the std lib in some time, been using Qt
21:12.32mewynany way of finding it?  i can't find any man pages or shit
21:12.50kergotha book? I know stroustrup covers it.. there are online books too
21:19.45mewynanyone know how to suppress warnings in g++?
21:21.10teferimewyn, looks like refdata() might be it
