02:14.57mattcampAnyone considered using diet libc for the shell, init, and other small utilities and daemons?  I figured that would reduce RAM usage somewhat.
02:15.47kergothi'd rather go with uclibc myself
02:17.12mattcampBecause it's a shared lib?
02:17.23kergothuhh
02:17.32kergothyou've never heard of static linking apparently.
02:17.49kergothoh, nm
02:17.49kergothheh
02:17.52kergothmisunderstood
02:18.07kergothuclibc is incredibly full featured.. we could use it as a full fledged glibc replacement
02:18.26kergothwe'd lose bc, but i'm sick of being held back by sharp compat anyway
02:18.44mattcampSorry I was unclear.
02:18.55mattcampAnd we'd lose compatibility with proprietary apps.
02:19.01kergoththat too
02:19.19kergothat least the loss of bc due to a gcc2 -> gcc3, or qt2 -> qt3 can be solved via compatibility packages
02:19.46kergothi dont think the uclibc ld-linux.so can link glibc binaries, so i dont think a glibc compat package would work
02:20.46mattcampYeah, I was thinking it would be better to link statically with diet libc for some utilities and then link with glibc for Qt apps, since statically linking Qt apps would prouce a lot of huge binaries.
02:21.23mattcampThat way we retain compatibility with proprietary apps that use glibc.  Yeah, I know it's better if software is free, but some proprietary software (I'm thinking of speech synthesizers) really has no good free equivalent.
02:21.55kergothin the qtopia/opie realm, i havent seen anything along those lines yet
02:21.57kergothbut point taken
02:22.11mattcampI'm starting work on a Zaurus ROM for blind people, and I'm thinking I'll have to use a proprietary speech synthesizer.
02:22.30kergothah
02:22.40kergothfeel free to use OZ. just grab our buildsystem and produce some images

02:50.57mattcampI wonder why OZ has a php package.  Does anyone actually run a web server on their Z?
02:51.38Solar[X]It'd be very handy for development.
02:51.58Solar[X]I can imagine I'll use it some day.
02:52.15mattcampDoesn't look like OZ has a web server package though.
02:52.21kergothnanoweb is a nice small web server that is *written* in php
02:52.24kergoththerefore it supports php
02:52.28Solar[X]And if it weren't such a waste, I'd set it up as a web server.
02:52.32kergothalso, php is a fine commandline scripting language
02:52.46Solar[X]There is an apache package on killefiz.de I think.
02:52.53kergothapache is a waste
02:52.59kergoththere are plenty of small web servers
02:53.04kergothboa, nanoweb, thttpd, etc
02:53.04Solar[X]Probably
02:53.59mattcampAnyone looked at fnord?  18k statically linked binary with CGI support (well, 18k on the x86 anyway).
02:54.47mattcampActually fnord also requires another program called tcpserver which is about 46k statically linked with diet libc.
02:55.42kergothi'm a fan of boa myself, when i dont need php
02:55.45kergothnever tried fnord

03:04.48mithrophp is a fairly good language if you want a template baased system
03:04.57mithrowe use it in out code generation language
03:06.29cyn_ya it's easier to understand/'read' than perl
03:08.02mattcampI like Python too.
03:09.27kergothI never touched it before, was always a perl junkie
03:09.38kergothbut recently schurig started writing the new OE buildsystem in it, so i had to learn it
03:09.41kergoth:)
03:11.03mattcampThe thing that got me interested in Python was when Red Hat rewrote their installer largely in Python.
03:11.59cyn_I have a bud who I kinda bounce ideas off of and he does the same, we both have similar backgrounds and different ideas of what's worth doing, but we generally agree on stuff for implementing, and he touts python
03:12.09cyn_so I need to poke at it

03:26.20AunHow can I check what my SD card's file format is?
03:26.41zap-zerofdisk?
03:27.10kergothfdisk shows partition table, not filesystem type
03:28.30zap-zerouh huh.
03:28.37zap-zeroand what's in the partition table too, huh? :)
03:29.00kergothzap-zero: linux doesnt pay attention to partition type in the dos partition table when mounting
03:29.14mattcampDoes an SD card even have a partition table?
03:29.22Aunalso, I'm aout to install open Zaurus on mine. where can I find a guide to switch back to the old Qtopia if need be?
03:29.27kergothzap-zero: it either blindly attempts mounts in the order of /proc/filesystems or /etc/filesystems, or looks at the magic # in the partition
03:30.30zap-zerowell, ok
03:31.18Aunso what do I type at the prompt to see the file format?
03:31.25kergothyou dont
03:31.32Aun...
03:31.32kergothyou can look at the type if its *mounted*, with 'mount'
03:31.37kergothif its not mounted, you dont know
03:31.50zap-zerobut you can try mount -t auto
03:31.57kergothyep
03:32.04AunI'll try it...

03:34.39Aunthanks. It is fat. So I can install open zaurus. If I want to go back to Qtopia, how can I?
03:35.58zap-zeroyou need a cf, not sd, for flashing
03:36.11kergothdepends on the type of Z
03:36.16zap-zerooh
03:36.21kergothc7x0 can flash from sd/cf
03:36.22Aun5500.
03:36.23kergothso can the 5600
03:36.25kergoth5500 is cf only
03:36.53zap-zerophew... so at least my crystal ball still works correctly :)
03:36.59kergothhehe
03:37.20Aunok, so then id there any way to run ZGCC on Qtopia?

17:01.42OctaneZthe first time I installed, I didn't know the sd/mmc card was supposed to be fat16, so I have been walking around with a hobbled version for a couple weeks, but, didn't have time to fix it til now

20:01.45mattcampI don't know if it works the same say in OZ, but in the fbvncserver package from Zaurus Software Index, there's an init script called /etc/rc.d/init.d/fbvncinput you have to run.
20:02.05mattcampThen you have to tap the top-left and bottom-right corners of the touchscreen to calibrate the touchscreen simulation daemon.
20:02.42OctaneZyup!
20:02.56OctaneZ/etc/init.d/fbvncinput
20:03.53OctaneZokay
20:04.01OctaneZscript is there, but it doesn't work
20:04.11mattcampWhat happens when you run it?

20:04.41OctaneZStarting VNC Server input daemon: devices tssimd
20:04.41OctaneZ#
20:04.58OctaneZthen I fire up the fbvncserver, and no change
20:05.27mattcampMaybe you have to restart Opie, I don't know.
20:06.17mattcampYeah, that's probably it.  qpe only opens the touchscreen device when it starts, and now it actually has to open a FIFO instead of a character device.
20:12.22OctaneZrestart opie and poof it works!

23:51.57cleverdraHow do you mount such filesystems under the Z?  'mount -o loop -t jffs2 initrd.bin t' gives me "No such device"
23:52.50mattcampWhat Zaurus ROM are you running now?
23:53.39cleverdraSharp ROM 3.1 (-- the initrd in question is OZ, as I said.  I've a 5500 and a 5000D; the OZ ROM will go on the 5000D for now.)
23:54.45mattcampThe Sharp ROM uses cramfs (which is why it's truly read-only unlike OZ), so to mount the OZ filesystem on your Zaurus you'll need to find a jffs2 kernel module or cross-compile it.
23:55.36cleverdraah, OK.  I'll flash the 5000D and try to mount this under it =)
23:56.08mattcampYeah, that ought to work.
