03:05.06 | Shabba | i have a zaurus slc-700, and i also have a panasonic laptop, both devices have MMC/SD card sockets, |
03:05.16 | Shabba | and my zaurus of _course_ can use the sd chip, |
03:05.28 | Shabba | but is there a general linux driver that i can use on my laptop ? |
03:05.33 | Shabba | or is it specific to the zaurus only? |

04:21.17 | bbeattie | kergoth: my father is looking at getting one. I'm just wondering how much software is compiled for them so far.. little from what I've seen. |
04:21.44 | bbeattie | kergoth: and I know you've been very busy, but also on the oz port.. |
04:22.41 | kergoth | well, mine is sitting at an oz login prompt atm |

04:23.08 | kergoth | they all do |

04:23.53 | bbeattie | kergoth: I have been out of things for a while due to work demands :-/ |
04:24.08 | bbeattie | would you recommend the 5600 or 5500 to people right now? |

04:24.32 | bbeattie | especially to someone who may want apps like zroadmap, that havn't been compiled for xscale I'm pretty sure. |
04:25.21 | kergoth | if you're going to spend the cash, get a c750 |
04:25.29 | kergoth | imho the 5600 doesnt give you much for the cost |
04:25.37 | kergoth | at least the c750 has a pxa255, no cache bug |
04:25.44 | kergoth | plus the 640x480 lcd, and spiffy formfactor |
04:25.58 | bbeattie | is it available in US yet? |

04:26.20 | drakonite | is the c750 the one that only has a hacked english rom? |
04:26.29 | kergoth | drakonite: uh, all the c7x0 units are from japan |

05:52.49 | drakonite | lol |
05:52.57 | imadcow1 | I have had no troulbe transferring smaller files |
05:53.16 | drakonite | is there enough free space? |
05:53.38 | imadcow1 | yes |
05:53.46 | drakonite | ...do you remove the card without ejecting it first? |
05:53.48 | omoore | imadcow1: have you tried ssh ? |
05:53.49 | omoore | imadcow1: specifically.. scp (assuming you've installed the openssh package |
05:53.52 | imadcow1 | I can't even put a playlist file on it |
05:54.00 | imadcow1 | no I haven't omoore |
05:54.13 | imadcow1 | wait.. I have tried ssh |
05:54.15 | imadcow1 | just a few minutes ago |
05:54.20 | imadcow1 | it works |
05:54.22 | omoore | imadcow1: ssh is what i actually used for copying the 10GB file |
05:54.27 | omoore | imadcow1: use scp then |
05:54.44 | drakonite | how much free space is there? it sounds like it's either out of space or mounted read only for some reason... |
05:54.44 | omoore | imadcow1: scp user@host/path/to/file.mpg /mnt/card |
05:54.58 | drakonite | what kind of card was it? |
05:55.02 | imadcow1 | should I use user:pass@host ? |
05:55.05 | imadcow1 | cf |
05:55.19 | omoore | imadcow1: no.. you'll be prompted for pass |
05:55.26 | imadcow1 | ok |
05:55.30 | drakonite | oh, nm... thought you said SD earlier... sd cards have a write lock switch on them, lol |
05:55.58 | omoore | imadcow1: scp works pretty much like cp.. except you include user@host: before a path for the remote host |
05:56.23 | imadcow1 | oh... so I run scp from my zaurus then? |
05:56.33 | omoore | imadcow1: yeah |
05:56.38 | imadcow1 | ooh... |
05:56.39 | omoore | imadcow1: assuming you've installed it |
05:56.44 | omoore | imadcow1: but also... |
05:56.54 | omoore | the /mnt/card is for SD cards, not CF cards |
05:57.01 | imadcow1 | I know silly |
05:57.15 | omoore | k.. thought i saw something further up about that |
05:58.40 | imadcow1 | # scp root@192.168.1.100/mnt/media/porn/KaceyAnal.mpg /mnt/cf |
05:59.02 | imadcow1 | cp: root@192.168.1.100/mnt/media/porn/KaceyAnal.mpg: No such file or directory |
06:00.21 | omoore | imadcow1: scp root@192.168.1.100:/mnt.... |
06:00.35 | omoore | imadcow1: note the colon |
06:00.37 | imadcow1 | you so didn't type a colon before |
06:00.47 | imadcow1 | but it is ok... no route to host |

06:02.11 | imadcow1 | I can ssh into it fine from another computer |

06:02.31 | omoore | via usb i assume? |
06:02.35 | imadcow1 | it is plugged into the cradle via usb |
06:02.43 | imadcow1 | and I followed the instructions for usb over ethernet |
06:02.57 | omoore | is anything else working networking realted? |

16:54.47 | kergoth | info should work |
16:55.30 | Fare | nope :( doesn't display where packages are installed, and won't select only those on ram |

16:57.27 | Fare | well, I'll survive. Where do I file a feature request? |
16:57.52 | Fare | bbeattie: there are. "under linux", I don't know. |
16:58.09 | Fare | the J820 has host USB -- however linux support is deficient. |
16:58.26 | curtisv | USB master is a rare feature currently, ask me in person about my quest... In the mean time I have a question about open zaurus file system. seems like the design is broken!? |
16:59.01 | Fare | curtisv: what's broken? |
16:59.14 | kergoth | what? |
16:59.23 | kergoth | curtisv: elaborate. |
17:01.01 | curtisv | Quoting from the "how to use" ... " The danger associated with copying the entire /usr directory is that it's required by the boot process. If, for any reason, your SD card fails to mount during the boot process, you won't get a clean boot." This seems to go against the FHS . any comments? |
17:01.22 | kergoth | what are you talking about? |
17:01.23 | kergoth | heh |
17:01.50 | kergoth | whats the deviation from FHS? |
17:04.11 | *** join/#openzaurus Grez (~graham_li@dsl-62-3-71-131.zen.co.uk) |
17:04.33 | curtisv | The how to use document could be mistaken, but it suggests that OpenZaurus will not boot properly if you goof with the /usr directory. FHS suggests that everything in a linux system needed to boot should be in the root directory structure. Typical unix useage allows /usr to be a device that is mounted long after boot containing user stuff not boot stuff. So I am trying to figure out if there is a problem or not!? |
17:05.00 | kergoth | it refuses to boot because it uses a busybox shell |
17:05.17 | kergoth | which needs the /usr/bin/[ link for tests, since [ isnt a builtin. |
17:05.38 | kergoth | also, you'll note that nowhere on openzaurus.org do I state we're FHS compliant. |
17:05.49 | kergoth | Its certainly a goal, but if we have to deviate, we'll deviate. |
17:06.24 | curtisv | I should look but I assume busy box is in /bin? |
17:06.34 | kergoth | yes |
17:07.10 | Cope | kergoth> For syncing with my laptop do you recommend using the Qtopia package on the laptop/desktop machine? |
17:07.17 | kergoth | again, it comes down to the fact that test/[ isnt a builtin in busybox ash |
17:07.26 | kergoth | Cope: you mean qtopia desktop? |
17:07.38 | Cope | kergoth> I do |
17:07.47 | kergoth | up to you. i dont sync :) |
17:07.51 | *** part/#openzaurus Kerberos (~kerberos@200.76.152.5) |
17:07.54 | kergoth | if you use kde, use kitchensync to sync with kdepim |
17:07.57 | kergoth | works pretty well |
17:08.04 | Cope | kergoth> Blow my mind - why don't you sync? |
17:08.32 | curtisv | As an aside I am looking at making a build system and doing a bit of a custom version of OpenZaurus for myself (and others if interested, but need to get up to speed with your design decisions as I could be wrong in my oppinions ;-) |
17:08.36 | kergoth | I dont store PIM data on my desktop, my pda is the primary storage means |
17:08.43 | kergoth | curtisv: take a look at our new build infrastructure |
17:08.51 | kergoth | curtisv: buidlroot is going away |
17:09.22 | kergoth | curtisv: openembedded.org |
17:09.27 | Cope | kergoth> The pim on the default OZ that I got yesterday - that isn't kdepim is it? |
17:09.34 | kergoth | Cope: what? |
17:09.39 | kergoth | Cope: i'm talking about the DESKTOP PIM APPS |
17:09.45 | kergoth | i.e. what you'r esyncing your Z with |
17:09.47 | curtisv | back to busybox... if it is in /bin why are links required for boot in /usr/bin instead of /bin? Is this from sharps original design or for your own reasons? |
17:10.02 | kergoth | this isnt that hard to understand |
17:10.05 | kergoth | okay, go to a desktop linux box |
17:10.14 | Cope | kergoth> Yes, sorry, of course. |
17:10.15 | kergoth | and tell me where the 'test' and '[' binaries are located. |
17:10.22 | kergoth | I'm willing to bet they're in /usr/bin |
17:10.28 | kergoth | which is exactly where they are on OZ |
17:10.42 | kergoth | the only reason its *not* a problem on a destkop, is the shell uses the test *builtin* so it doesnt need the external binary |
17:10.49 | kergoth | how many times do i have to explain this? |
17:11.27 | curtisv | Sorry I've looked elsewhere for info on this but didn't run into it. |
17:11.48 | kergoth | I find most of the things you need to know in dealing with embedded linux are best learned first hand |
17:14.07 | curtisv | So true, although following previous practices of others sometimes is not best as your design issues may be different. |
17:14.55 | kergoth | you'll note i didnt metnion whether the means of learning the skill came through ones own pratcices or some one elses :) |
17:15.18 | curtisv | I wave simply wondered why the SD device can't be mounted as /usr. although perhaps this is not ideal either. |
17:15.32 | kergoth | well now ya know, its due to the busybox shell not having a test builtin. |
17:15.35 | kergoth | there are a few ways we can work around it |
17:15.42 | kergoth | but its a rather low priority issue |
17:16.24 | curtisv | perhaps it is reasonable to put the links in /bin as they really don't take much space, but it sounds like you have been through this before? |
17:16.52 | kergoth | busybox has a config option to move all the links into /bin |
17:17.02 | kergoth | but that deviates from desktop linux behavior |
17:17.05 | kergoth | which normally has test in /usr/bin |
17:17.11 | kergoth | thats one of the options i mentioned |
17:17.29 | kergoth | another lets busybox find its own applets, even if there arent any symlinks to those applets in the path |
17:17.32 | curtisv | I see. What are the current big issues for OZ? |
17:17.42 | kergoth | which would be nice for other reasons, if you hose your busybox links, you can still use the system |
17:17.52 | kergoth | so obviously i prefer that solution to the latter, since we gain multiple benefits |
17:19.25 | kergoth | currently the biggest priorities are ironing out the kinks in the support for the zaurus sl-c750, sl-c760, and sl-5600 support, as well as kernel development for the Z in general, which you'll note is mentioned on the latest news update on openzaurus.org |
17:19.37 | kergoth | (which i just posted this afternoon) |
17:20.10 | curtisv | Hmm, I have to think about "lets busybox find its own applets". How would you implement this? In BB shell - recognising its own function names? |
17:20.23 | kergoth | yes |
17:20.25 | curtisv | Which forum should I be reading? |
17:20.29 | kergoth | its already implemented, its a busybox config optoin |
17:20.30 | kergoth | option rather |
17:20.37 | Grez | anyone got any idea how to get my zaurus to share my net connection via my xp using USB? I've tried following the FAQ at http://www.openzaurus.org/oz_website//faq/faq?id=93 but I can't get it working? |

17:21.10 | curtisv | kergoth: the place you posted? |
17:21.33 | kergoth | i jsut told you |

17:21.40 | kergoth | heh |
17:21.56 | kergoth | Grez: do a route -n on the Z, is a default/0.0.0.0 route listed? |
17:22.19 | absentia | I found that aqpkg didn't work under sharp rom |
17:22.26 | absentia | and the old installer was just... nasty. |
17:22.28 | kergoth | thats not surprising |
17:22.30 | curtisv | duh, I was there earlier looking for discussion like this but somehow missed your post... looking again. |
17:22.31 | absentia | I did get the feeds to work from the net under oz, though. |
17:22.35 | kergoth | the old ipkg is shell and has different syntax |
17:22.41 | kergoth | if you replace ipkg and aqpkg both, it should work |
17:22.50 | absentia | although I feel more should come installed by default, that you just have to uncomment.... |
17:22.58 | absentia | it's not *too* difficult to vi in a few. |
17:23.07 | Grez | kergoth: yep "0.0.0.0 192.168.129.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 usbd0" |
17:23.21 | kergoth | Grez: and 192.168.129.1 is the desktop usb ip i take it? |
17:23.28 | kergoth | Grez: sounds like your xp box isnt doing what it should be. |
17:23.43 | Grez | I can also ping my xp machines lan card but nothing out on the lan. |
17:23.59 | Grez | yep 129.1 is my xp machine |

17:25.43 | kergoth | that faq doesnt outline the necessary steps to get onto the net wrt the XP side |
17:25.53 | kergoth | you arent forwarding, which is why you cant get anywhere |

17:28.24 | curtisv | kergoth: Is there a good summary of the development process for OZ somewhere? the info on the projcet page assumes a few things. Perhaps this is because it is as simple as grabbing the tree? Anyway just wondering about a general pointer to a place to dig deeper. |
17:29.12 | kergoth | curtisv: read docs/ in buildroot |
17:29.20 | kergoth | ibot: oz snapshot |
17:29.20 | | methinks oz snapshot is http://openzaurus.sourceforge.net/snapshot/ or updated every 4 hours by Navi or this is a snapshot of the bk oz buildroot tree use it to compile your own OZ if you don't want to use BK |
17:29.22 | kergoth | ibot: oz buildroot |
17:29.23 | | extra, extra, read all about it, oz bk is bk clone bk://openzaurus.bkbits.net/buildroot buildroot-oz; cd buildroot-oz; bk -r co -q; cp def-configs/collie-opie .config (for zaurus 5000d/5500) .. make oldconfig; make; or see bitkeeper (free download but non-gpl) or see 'oz snapshot' if you either cannot or will not use bitkeeper. |
17:30.34 | curtisv | kergoth: thanks much, I'll dig in and talk later. (when I can ask intellegent questions. ) |
17:31.16 | curtisv | I'm not using BK yet so the snapshot sounds good. |
17:31.43 | kergoth | no problem |
17:31.53 | kergoth | openembedded.org and openembedded.bkbits.net have the new system |
17:32.00 | kergoth | which hasnt yet replaced the old, but will. |
17:33.47 | curtisv | I guess I need to look at openembedded.org as well. I have a few other devices that could use new firmware. heh heh |

19:54.26 | kergoth | nope |
19:54.32 | kergoth | they arent anywehre near bk in functionality or stability |
19:54.35 | kergoth | nor is svn |

19:56.22 | prh | tla is very very stable. |
19:57.08 | kergoth | it still doesnt come anywhere near bk |
19:57.08 | prh | it doesnt have gui tools... but is scriptable, transparent, easy to fix if you find a problem... and won't be ripped away from us if the author gets upset |

20:03.29 | kergoth | I dont know the items off the top of my head, i have them written down somewhere in the doc that outlined the requirements of our CM system |
20:03.35 | prh | curtisv: mcvoy said even submitting bug reports or fiddling with the code precludes you from using bk's 'open' license |
20:03.43 | Pixel_ | Hey |
20:03.57 | prh | kergoth: ah - could I get a copy or find out where that is sometime? |
20:04.16 | Pixel_ | I bought a c750 in japan and was wondering if it was worth it to try and install OpenZaurus on it - maybe you guys could help me? |
20:04.19 | kergoth | yeah, i'll see if i can find it |
20:04.35 | kergoth | c750 only works with oz as of yesterday, its not solid yet |
20:04.40 | kergoth | i'll upload an experimental image later |
20:04.41 | Pixel_ | woah |
20:04.47 | Pixel_ | then i won't |
20:08.50 | curtisv | prh: fiddling with code (often done to evaluate a product) sure ends up limiting you then. (of course if you don't kiss and tell...) |
20:10.47 | prh | curtisv: yes. I belive I am already exluded from using bk. |
20:11.11 | kergoth | could always use pavel's bk interoperability tools, if we make the tree available using rsync |
20:11.41 | prh | hmm if you let me rsync, then I could set u pa tla mirror tree |
20:13.18 | prh | back in a wee while |
20:16.13 | curtisv | kergoth: Not to ask more dumb question, but, I am guessing that you recommend cross development to build OZ? I am running debian (mostly testing). pretty generic but no cross tools currently installed. Any recommendations? |
20:16.54 | kergoth | ye,s we normally crosscopmile. just grab a crosscompiler toolchain tarball and have fun |
20:17.40 | absentia | www.cnn.com |
20:18.05 | curtisv | OK, I will let you know when I get a working image. |
20:23.33 | curtisv | kergoth: any news on having new kernels that can be flashed? |
20:24.04 | kergoth | hm? |
20:24.16 | kergoth | any kernel can be flashed. |
20:28.37 | curtisv | you know I am asking about 2.4.19 availability (at least now you do). |
20:28.54 | kergoth | i'm working on it as we speak |
20:29.39 | curtisv | is it in or out of the tree at this point? (really should have been my first question.) |
20:29.45 | kergoth | ? |
20:30.01 | kergoth | 'the tree'? |
20:30.25 | kergoth | buildroot can build it, yeah |
20:30.30 | kergoth | is it in our default builds? no |
20:30.35 | kergoth | are its sources in the tree? no |
20:30.38 | kergoth | your question was ambiguous |
20:31.24 | curtisv | tell you what , I'll stop distracting you and watch for the announcement. I figured that the source was still being cooked. |
20:31.45 | kergoth | its not *released*. the sources are available. |
20:32.49 | curtisv | ah, thanks. for my first build the kernel really is not too critical anyway. |

21:37.14 | ljp | I have a Oz-qtopia 1.6.2 running on c700 |
21:38.41 | bobbyd | ljp: I have OZ running, it's just that I cant get the gcc package to compile code, it cant find crt1.o and I can find it anywhere in the packages (i've grep'd them all) |
21:41.19 | kergoth | you need a binutils ipk |
21:47.16 | bobbyd | kergoth, if I just compile gcc and binutils for arm it should all work right? |
21:47.32 | kergoth | there's already a gcc ipk |
21:47.38 | kergoth | or just grab the debian/ARM .deb's |
21:47.41 | kergoth | and install em with ipkg |
21:48.05 | bobbyd | kergoth: i realise this, but I've installed gcc and binutils and it doesnt work. I'll try the debs thanks |
21:48.19 | kergoth | then you need a glibc devel package |
21:48.30 | kergoth | libc6-dev, which woul dhave the headers, the glibc start and stop files, and the like |
21:48.36 | bobbyd | ok |
21:48.38 | bobbyd | i'll look |

21:54.04 | kergoth | no, thats glibc |
21:54.09 | kergoth | i said you needed a glibc devel package |
21:54.13 | kergoth | i didnt say OZ had one. |
21:54.57 | bobbyd | i'm sorry if I seem stupid. OZ has a GCC package which you cant use because it needs files from a package OZ doesnt have? |
21:55.12 | bobbyd | if that's the case I'll compile on and put it on my website |
21:55.25 | kergoth | yes, thats the case. |
21:55.32 | kergoth | i never claimed the gcc packages worked |
21:55.40 | kergoth | i added them to the build knowing they would eventually |
21:56.05 | bobbyd | ahh ok |
21:56.16 | bobbyd | that's ok then! I thought I was just being stupid ;) |
22:00.29 | bobbyd | I suppose If I want c++ support I'll have to compile it again? ;) |
22:02.17 | kergoth | ? |
22:02.31 | kergoth | i didnt build it with c++? i'm pretty sure i did |
22:02.37 | bobbyd | It says no |
22:02.40 | kergoth | considering ispent like hours fighting libtool to get it to crosscompile properly |
22:02.43 | kergoth | "It" |
22:02.45 | kergoth | what? |
22:03.20 | bobbyd | give me 30 seconds to give you a concise answer, I'll be sure not to be in the least vauge in the future... |
22:04.13 | kergoth | k |
22:06.26 | bobbyd | when I try to compile a test .cpp file with just "int main() {}" with the command line "gcc test.cpp" gcc gives the message "gcc: test.cpp: C++ compiler not installed on this system" |
22:06.51 | bobbyd | sorry, there's a 'return 0;' in the main function obviously |
22:07.51 | bobbyd | but I think that's pretty compelling evidence, unless I have a configuration problem |

22:17.15 | bobbyd | ok great, it's good to hear c++ support is knocking around somewhere |
