02:14.40cynI'll have to totally agree with that
02:18.14TheMasterMind1its not that cool..
02:18.19hardwiresure it is
02:18.21TheMasterMind1sprint has had unlimited vision for a while
02:18.29TheMasterMind1and they don't limit sms's
02:19.02TheMasterMind1and they don't have tzone shit, which only lets you browse wap, doesn't give you a public ip, and charges shitload of money for everything since its all "premium content"
02:19.31TheMasterMind1sprint gives me a internet ip, 80kbps, html browser on the phone, and dont' charge for crap
02:19.52TheMasterMind1and i can connect my phone to either zaurus or laptop, use as modem to dial #777 and i'm online
02:20.34cynTheMasterMind1: right, which is what that is
02:20.41cyna gprs connection
02:20.52cynthe limiting sms's is gay i'll agree
02:21.26cyntzones is just wap, don't think of it as a data plan
02:21.33cynhow much does sprint cost
02:21.46TheMasterMind110bucks/month with any plan for unlimited vision
02:22.04cynand you get 10kBps
02:22.07cynnot bad
02:22.08TheMasterMind1no
02:22.14TheMasterMind110kbps ?
02:22.19cyni said B
02:22.28cynI dislike thinking in bits
02:22.29TheMasterMind1oh
02:22.38TheMasterMind1yep
02:22.41TheMasterMind1is damn good
02:22.43cynI'm the application level I want bytes
02:23.55cynwhats sprint vision using
02:24.09cynnot gsm
02:24.13TheMasterMind1im' not sure
02:25.07cyngprs is 115 optimal
02:25.20cynyou actually get 80, like, measured sustained?
02:25.34cynsorry to hound you, just curious, I have a bud who I like to compete a bit with
02:25.42cynand he's on a sprint plan I'm fairly certain
02:28.58TheMasterMind1well the site says 144kbps
02:29.05TheMasterMind1in my area, i get about 80
02:29.33cynso you can pay like $30 bux and get an hour or three of cell talk time and unlimited data
02:29.41TheMasterMind1yep
02:29.46cyndamnit
02:29.48TheMasterMind1well, technically.. if you read the contract
02:29.55TheMasterMind1you're not allowed to use the phone as a modem
02:29.59cynhaha
02:30.01TheMasterMind1=)
02:30.03cynso they'd know
02:30.05cleverdramaster - what a curious idea.
02:30.20cynthe unlimited data is only for use directly through the phone
02:30.22TheMasterMind1but people have been doing it for months now and they haven't done anything
02:30.26cynyea
02:30.29cynbut that's why this is big news
02:30.45TheMasterMind1especially if you don't use their windows software i don't think they know its not from the phone
02:31.09TheMasterMind1heh, you think it'll last? tmobile will get raped out of bandwidth and pull the deal
02:31.10cynyeah i woulda heard about that if it was for use w/ other stuff
02:31.13cynyeah
02:31.18cynwell if I sign up they can't pull the deal
02:31.20TheMasterMind1my friend got a tmobile phone last week
02:31.22TheMasterMind1i check it out
02:31.23cynthey're already raped on the danger devices
02:31.24TheMasterMind1i wasn't very impressed
02:31.31cyni've already got tmobile
02:31.32TheMasterMind1i'm more satisfied with my sprint phone
02:31.36cynhad it for 7mos
02:31.48TheMasterMind1one of the color screen / data enabled ones?
02:31.54cynt68i
02:31.57cynirda and bluetooth
02:32.10cynspecifically purchased to give me ip connectivity to a pda or laptop ;)
02:32.10TheMasterMind1thats one of the nice things about the motorolas
02:32.14TheMasterMind1they have irda and bluetooth
02:32.17TheMasterMind1the sprint phones don't
02:32.17cynyeah
02:32.24cynwhen I was looking only tmobile had bluetooth and irda phones
02:32.33TheMasterMind1i think thats still true
02:32.35cynmost stuff didn't have any bluetooth
02:32.41cynbluetooth is sweet
02:32.42cynwell
02:32.45TheMasterMind1heh
02:32.49cynit's expensive
02:32.52cynbut it's convenient
02:33.03cynit's cool to like, dial out with my phone still in my pocket
02:33.15cynfrom my pda
02:33.25cynbut I don't have a cf bluetooth card so I can't do that atm anyway hehe
02:34.03cynyea sprints actual data plan is like $100 for unlimited, but if that works just as well - woo!
02:34.14cynI doubt most people, even heavy users, would use more than like 10-20 megs a month anway
02:34.32cynthe initial interest period will be heavy, after they suffer through that people will just leave the plan and never use it
02:34.42cyncept for the occassional heavy user such as us :)
02:35.31TheMasterMind1there was a person in #gpe earlier today who bought the sprint merlin card
02:35.42TheMasterMind1and uses it with ipaq i think with the unlimited plan
02:35.48TheMasterMind1flypiper
02:36.15TheMasterMind1thats icky with the zaurus though cuz you have to get a bulky cf->pcmcia thing and plug in the pcmcia card into the Z
02:37.06cynew
02:37.09cynthat is icky
02:37.17cynmuch rather have a bluetooth cf card :)
02:37.25TheMasterMind1ya
02:37.32cynbut my wifi card works fine since I'm stuck at home 90% of the time
02:37.43cynnot much use at work etc.

03:23.16chrionixis dpkg the old form of ipkg?
03:23.36cleverdradpkg is the Debian form of ipkg, SFAIK.
03:23.56chrionixoh okay.
03:24.10chrionixhrmm, thanks.
03:24.15ljp_laptopnewer ipkg knows dpkg
03:25.02chrionixljp_laptop: yeah, okay. I just downloaded the perl debian packages for arm, but it breaks, and all the docs on the net I can find suggest using dpkg.
03:26.17ljp_laptopmight try alien, and converting it to a tarball, and installing it that way.
03:26.30ljp_laptopbut the lib depnds might be mushy
03:26.45chrionixwhat's alien?
03:26.50ljp_laptop:D
03:27.01ljp_laptopconverts package formats
03:27.07chrionixahh okay.
03:27.25ljp_laptophow does it break?
03:28.19chrionixit mentions that the postinst csript returned error 127.
03:28.33chrionixs/csript/script
03:28.42ljp_laptophmm
03:29.14chrionixwhich from my fruitless google search appears to be a dependancy problem.
03:30.05chrionixand when I try to install perl-modules, it mentions it relies upon perl-5.6.1-7, and so when I try to install perl-5.6.1.7, it says it requires the modules.
03:30.24chrionixsort of a dependancy error loop
03:30.55chrionixa chicken or the egg type thing if you will :P
03:31.42chrionixof course my knowledge of such things is only enough to get me into trouble. Others have probably installed perl without any hassle whatsoever.
03:36.49ljp_laptophmm
03:41.48chrionixI love this Z. As soon as I figure out how to do one thing, I go and break something else :)
03:42.28chrionixls
03:44.03ljp_laptopbash: ls: command not found
03:44.11chrionix:)
03:44.15chrionixSorry, wrong window
03:44.35ljp_laptophehehe. common problem
03:46.05cynchrionix: you could force depends, but if you install them both simult. it should go fine
03:47.03chrionixcyn: Really? Okay cool.
03:47.12chrionixcyn: as in ipkg install *.deb?
03:47.38chrionixI didn't even think of trying that. I figured one had to come first.
03:48.22cynwell you can list them space-seperated
03:48.25cynseparated
03:49.42chrionixand that won't just try to install them iteratively?
03:50.06cynno it's smart about it
03:50.15cynit looks on everything that happens as a whole in the one operation
03:50.27chrionixwow, that is cool. Okay thanks a lot.

11:34.28sanabyi want to run my OZ system using the SD card as much as possible... how should i do it?
11:37.36Faretell ipkg to install stuff there
11:37.46sanabylemme rephrase...
11:37.51sanabyI want to run my OZ system using the SD card as much as possible... How should I do it?  I'll probably install the 64-0 zimage
11:38.01sanabyMy options: a) install as normal, and install all apps to SD. b) move /opt + /root to SD c) follow FAQ #192 to run entirely off SD
11:38.11sanabyDo I have any other options?  What are the pros/cons of each of the above?
11:38.43Farewhat would you use your flash for, then???
11:38.56sanabyfor c), you mean?
11:39.03Fareyes
11:39.26sanabyi have no idea... in fact, i was wondering why someone would want to use c).  
11:39.51sanabybut since it's a FAQ, there must be quite a lot of people asking, so there's probably some good reason for it
11:40.39sanabybut basically, I'd like to do it in such a fashion that when 3.3 comes out, I can just reflash to the new images, without having to reinstall/reconfigure all my apps (unless the apps are upgraded of course)
11:41.49sanabyhi... sorry, still there?
11:42.47FareI have nothing to add
11:42.58FareI'd like to put OZ on CF, so as to run it from a j820
11:43.56sanabywhat's a j820?
11:46.02sanabyany comments on whether a) or b) would meet my objective (of upgradability) better?
11:46.32Farejornada 820
11:46.41sanabyah
11:46.54Farewith a, ideally, you'd just ipkg-link again or some such
11:48.07sanabythe ipkg-link mount /mnt/card? okay...  would b) make it hard?

11:50.10sanabyokay, thanks a lot, Fare...
11:50.33sanabyhmm, one other thing. how can I make packages install to SD by default?
11:50.56sanabyeg, when I use ipkg install, i often forget to specify the destination, and it goes to /
11:51.42Farewrite a shell function or alias
11:52.13Fareand put it in  your .bashrc
11:52.19Fareor .profile
11:52.22Fareor wherever

11:58.38sanabyhmm, okay... time to reflash ;)
12:05.15sanabydoes it make sense to format my SD card as jffs2?
12:05.21sanabyinstead of ext2, that is
12:05.49Faresanaby: not that much
12:06.49ljp_laptopno
12:10.11chrionixGood evening all
12:16.17mithroFare: use the OPIE_0_99 tag
12:16.47sanabywhy does it not make sense to use jffs2?
12:20.20sanabyreason for that is that i'm trying to minimise writes to the ext2's metastructures
12:21.05mithrosanaby: why would you want to do that?
12:21.35sanabyto avoid killing the SD quickly, because of repeated writes to the same area?
12:22.01mithrowell i've not heard of somebody killing SD yet...
12:22.55sanabyi vaguely remember reading somewhere that with ext2, it'll write to those metafiles periodically, and those cards do have a limited number of writes, especially rewriting over the same area repeatedly...
12:23.00sanabyat least, that's the idea.
12:23.35mithrosanaby: they are designed to use fat32 on it
12:23.41mithroand that writes to the same place all the time
12:24.45sanabyyes, but with fat32, you don't write to the same area even when nothing changes
12:25.17sanabyi _think_ with ext2, something is written even if no files are written
12:26.03yeiazelit's wrong

12:29.18mithrosanaby: never had that?
12:29.24sanabydd: datebook.xml: Input/output error
12:29.41mithrocould your SD card be bad?
12:29.56sanabydoes that indicate a) a random event that i should ignore b) i did something wrong (like maybe turn the power off while writing) c) my SD is bad?
12:30.14sanabyand, how do i check if it's bad?
12:33.12mithroi have no idea about how to check if it's bad
12:33.30mithrobut I/O error's normally seem like hardware error

12:55.35jdh41it might create the icon, however you'll need to force opie to refresh the screen
12:55.47dj-submergejdh41: how ?
12:55.49jdh41ipkg-link is needed to create the relevant symlinks for the package

14:52.53sanabydoes it make sense to format my SD card with ext3?
14:53.05sanaby(rather than ext2)
14:56.15sanabyi guess not... oz 3.2's kernel doesn't seem to support ext3
14:57.03yeiazelit really doesn't make sense
14:57.42yeiazelit would need to write bunch of data for the journal...
14:58.30yeiazelyou wanted to reduce data written, and now you want to use a fs that needs really many data to be written...
15:00.10kergothwonder how fast thatd wear out the card
15:01.34yeiazeltoo fast :)
