01:05.13darmouIs anyone here?
01:05.21redtoadenope
01:06.23George-OINK
01:07.03darmouJust wondering if the topic indicates that opie will no longer be included as part of oz or what does it mean?
01:07.18George-oh for god's sake.
01:07.28George-The topic means that Opie is not the same project as OZ
01:07.39George-and as such do not ask Opie-related support questions in here.
01:07.42trekedarmou: No
01:07.50trekedarmou: it means you can get opie 1.0 in the feed
01:08.09George-that as well :P
01:09.18George-treke: how's the C760? still unusable?
01:10.32darmouHmm I wonder, now that theKompany is selling the C760 if there will be more sales
01:10.49trekeGeorge-: nah. got oz on it this morning
01:10.55George-treke: nice :)
01:11.12George-treke: it's a 400MHz PXA255 w/128MB ram right?
01:11.20trekeno
01:11.23treke64mb ram
01:11.31George-I thought the 760 had 128MB
01:11.35trekenope
01:11.37treke128MB flash
01:11.41George-oh right
01:11.49George-that must be pretty cool for video playing :P
01:11.50treke64mb ram is plenty :p
01:12.14George-is the PXA255 nice?
01:12.27trekeGeorge-: Yup
01:12.39George-nifty
01:15.22trekeGeorge-: all kinds of little things to do though
01:15.37George-such as?
01:15.41trekeGeorge-: the jogswitch/thingy doesnt work. Since opie-reader is a major app for me, thats number one on the list
01:15.48trekeGeorge-: screen doesnt auto rotate
01:15.55George-auto-rotate?
01:16.27trekeGeorge-: when you flip the screen in sharps rom, the rotation of the screen adjusts
01:16.43George-treke: automagically?
01:17.01George-treke: so there's like a little software trigger when the screen is physically rotated?
01:17.01trekeGeorge-: yess
01:17.05trekewow
01:17.11trekekonquerer is useful now
01:17.15George-hehehe
01:17.30trekeits funny. The text is tiny, but completely readable
01:17.32George-treke's-C760: I want to have your babies!
01:17.33George-;P
01:20.23nightfiretreke: can you go to videolan.org?
01:20.48nightfiremy konqueror crashes, but i'm not sure if it's because i'm using debian's libraries, or because the browser actually crashes
01:21.12nightfireunfortunately it doesn't seem to like running under gdb or ltrace.
01:21.54George-nightfire: videolan.org works here
01:22.04George-nightfire: CVS HEAD from August 17th
01:22.18nightfirehmm
01:22.23nightfiredo you have an ipk handy? :)
01:22.52trekeworks here
01:23.04nightfireok, it must be my libraries.

04:21.45pragmaWhat is the diference between Opie and OpenZaurus? (I mean there are diferent web pages)
04:22.14pyromanceOpenZaurus is a ROM. Opie is a GUI
04:22.28George`ZZzzto put it, very very bluntly, yes
04:22.29George`ZZzz:P
04:23.25kergothopie is to openzaurus as kde+X is to redhat.
04:23.27pragmapyromance: Hm, what's the diference? I dont know what a ROM means (like snes roms?)
04:23.41kergothpragma: rom as is the contents of flash rom. in this case, a linux distribution.
04:24.06George`ZZzzkergoth: heya :)
04:24.21pyromanceExactly like SNES roms. That slot in the back is for Gameboy Advance cartriges.
04:24.22pragmaHm, OPIE isnt a content in a flash rom?

04:24.52George`ZZzzbugger, I stayed up so late today that I've just heard my father getting up to go to work
04:24.52kergothpragma: opie is a a grpahical environment, which is INCLUDED in openzaurus
04:24.56kergothopenzuarus is a linux distirbution
04:25.04kergotha linux distribution is a linux kernel and applications.
04:25.13kergothonce again, opie is to openzaurus as kde+x is to redhat
04:25.15pragmakergoth: Ok, got it...
04:25.27pragmaSo, its the same?
04:25.31kergothwhat?
04:25.34pyromanceNo...
04:25.36pragmaOpie/zaurus
04:25.42pragmaopie/openzaurus
04:25.45George`ZZzzthis is like trying to draw blood from a sstone.
04:25.50pyromanceOpenZaurus INCLUDES Opie, but Opie is not, in and of itself, OpenZaurus
04:25.55kergothopie is a gui.
04:25.59kergothit can run on ipaqs
04:26.00kergothzaurus
04:26.01kergothdesktop
04:26.05kergothET FUCKING CETERA
04:26.10kergothopenzaurus just happens to include it
04:26.11George`ZZzzhahaha
04:26.33pyromanceKinda like how Windows95 included DOS when you bought it.
04:26.41pragmaSO the only diference is the presentation of the software?
04:26.46sigis there a way to reboot the zaurus if it freezes?
04:26.46pyromanceNo
04:26.47kergothno
04:26.57kergothsig: soft reset or full reset

04:27.03kergothsig: i wasnt talking to you
04:27.06George`ZZzzin a nutshell: OPIE IS NOT OPENZAURUS, OPIE WILL NEVER BE OPENZAURUS, OPIE IS A GUI, OPENZAURUS IS A LINUX DISTRIBUTION
04:27.11kergothi said no to pragma, who fails to see the obvious
04:27.16pyromancepragma: OpenZaurus is the operating system ...  Opie is a program that is included with and runs on that operating system ...
04:27.24George`ZZzzpyromance: I beg to differ
04:27.29George`ZZzzpyromance: OPenZaurus is NOT an OS
04:27.30George`ZZzz:)
04:27.37sigkergoth: no way to reboot it
04:27.57George`ZZzzwell, OZ and Opie are the same in that they are both a collection of applications :)
04:28.10pyromanceGeorge`ZZzz: I am trying to put it in ways he'll understand. Remember when you were young and you were told the moon was made of cheese? Like that.
04:28.12George`ZZzzbut there the similarity ENDS
04:28.21kergothsig: huh?
04:28.21George`ZZzzpyromance: I was never told anything of the sort.
04:28.27kergothsig: you can soft reset, and you can full reset.
04:28.34sigkergoth: it froze
04:28.34kergothsig: i count two ways
04:28.39kergothNO SHIT
04:28.45kergothdo you know what soft reset and full reset are?
04:28.46pragmaOk, so untill the end, either you install a OS or a GUI you have the same Interphase running?
04:28.47kergothobviously not.
04:28.48sigI know the soft reset, I was just wondering if there was like a ctrl alt delete shit
04:28.49siglol
04:28.52George`ZZzzi love kergoth sometimes :)
04:28.55kergothpragma: what?
04:28.56pyromanceGeorge`ZZzz: Damn ... Was I the only one with cruel parents?
04:29.03George`ZZzzpyromance: probably
04:29.11kergothpragma: an operating system INCLUDES a gui.
04:29.13pyromanceI wasn't hugged enough as a child either.
04:29.15pragmakergoth: I mean the interphase (what I know as opie) is running?
04:29.17kergothyou dont install an OS _OR_ an operating system
04:29.24George`ZZzzeither pragma is VERY stupid, or trying to be funny
04:29.25kergothyou install an OS that may or may not include a graphical interface
04:29.37kergothinterphase, is that some sort of star trek device?
04:29.43George`ZZzzrofl
04:29.46kergothwhere i come from its called an interface

04:31.14sigand now the mouse doesn't even work
04:31.14kergothsig: in OZ you can use sysrq to force a reset
04:31.25pyromanceThe Zaurus doesn't have a mouse.

04:48.44sigthis is the latest
04:48.44sigheh
04:48.45kergothjames_lan-home: yes, unstable busybox has that fixed.
04:48.48kergothsig: bullshit.
04:48.53sigkergoth: ?
04:48.57kergothjames_lan-home: however, its packaging changed significantly.
04:49.10pyromanceForgive me for assuming that OpenZaurus (and indeed the Zaurus itself) is NOT for newbies.
04:49.18james_lan-homeand that's what sig discovered the hard way I take it.
04:49.22kergothjames_lan-home: precisely
04:49.43sigpyromance: I've used linux for 3 1/2 years
04:49.52sigthis I have no problems with linux
04:49.57sigI had problems with the hardware
04:50.03kergothsig: think of upgrading busybox on the Z as like upgrading glibc on a desktop
04:50.05sigbling bling
04:50.09kergothsig: something that if it fucks up, you're hosed.
04:50.10sigit worked
04:50.29pyromanceOK ... when you performed the busybox upgrade, did you know that busybox and the symbolic links thereto were the heart and soul of the Zaurus?
04:50.34sigkergoth: so do you know a fix for the keyboard to work with fbncserver on the openzaurus?
04:50.42kergothmy god you're dense.
04:50.46kergoththe fix is a non broken mknod
04:50.58sigpyromance: it said nothing about the linking
04:50.59sigkergoth: ?
04:51.02kergothwhich is included in recent busybox
04:51.12sigkergoth: I did upgrade the busybox package
04:51.15kergothbut you can grab an arm mknod binary from coreutils instead
04:51.17sigand thats where it got hosed
04:51.17kergothyes, you did
04:51.23kergothand it failed for completelyd ifferent reasons
04:51.26sigso what did I do wrong?
04:51.26kergothdid i say it would work?
04:51.28kergothfuck no i didnt.
04:51.30kergothi said busybox has the fix
04:51.31sigchill
04:51.32kergothwhich it does
04:51.34sigI'm just asking
04:51.53kergothagain, busybox has the fix, but hte packaging changed
04:51.54sigok if busybox had the fix why did mine get hosed? thats all I'm asking
04:51.59kergothdid you even read when i wrote that to james?
04:52.03kergothand his reply that thats what you ran into?

05:07.52pyromancesig: The root cause was the same. I just didn't follow the solution ot to completion. I'll apologize for that if you apologize for getting testy toward the people trying to help you.
05:08.45sigsure
05:08.48kergoth23:39 < kergoth> heh, its not his fault
05:08.48kergoth23:40 < kergoth> the upgrade path is hosed
05:08.48kergoth23:40 < sig> I listend to pyromance
05:08.48kergoth23:40 < kergoth> because ipkg cant handle it
05:09.03kergoth1) ipkg cant handle it, 2) "packaging changed"
05:09.15kergothimplies, the packaging changed in such a way as to break ipkg's upgrade path
05:09.25sigok cool kergoth fair enough
05:09.39sigso I guess I'll have to wait for a fix right?
05:10.02kergothbest fix is to build an unstable image or find someone who has, or wait for the next release image
05:10.11kergothipkg isnt getting fixed any time soon, it needs a rewrite

05:10.54sigI can do with ssh
05:10.59sigbut vnc is just fun
05:11.04pyromanceTwo ways around it. First of which is to grab the binary of busybox out and write a script to make sure your symbolic links point to that. Second is to steal the busybox binary from either the unstable feed or the sharp ROM and update the symbolic link for mknod only to point to the new binary, then reboot

19:18.56pyromanceOK but I make no guarantees on the help I provide
19:19.05zlvr:) thats not a problem
19:19.37pyromance'cause if you asked sig, I torched his Z and he had to reflash
19:19.45sighehe
19:20.06zlvrI was doing a "tar cvf /mnt/card/z.tar /" on the C750 so that I can have a tar backup ... when that thing reached /proc/sys/suspend, it turned off
19:20.15zlvrthis is before I tried OZ on it
19:20.26pyromancetry --exclude ?
19:20.53zlvrnow it seems stuck when I pressed the on/off key ... or is running very slow
19:20.58pyromanceYou want to exclude all of /proc /dev and maybe /mnt/cf
19:21.04zlvrshould I just power it off ?

19:22.35zlvrcool :) ...
19:22.44zlvrso do you have a C750/760 ?
19:22.45pyromancetry umount /mnt/card
19:23.09zlvrnothing is responding on screen taps
19:23.23pyromancecan you type in the console?
19:23.36pyromanceHahaha... just found my dremel manual ... They come with manuals?
19:24.32zlvrits just printing chars on the screen of stuff it is probably backing up ... nope cant type in console ... its now showing /proc/sys/net/ipv4/neigh/default/delay_first_probe_time
19:25.02pyromanceSo the backup proccess is still running ... Is it on the network? Can you ssh in?
19:25.32zlvrnope :( no ssh on the Z ... its connected to my XP PC via the USB cable
19:25.41pyromanceWhat OS?
19:25.52zlvrWin XP
19:25.59pyromanceEr.. ROM on the Z? OpenZaurus?
19:26.08zlvrSharp ... Want to go to OZ :)
19:26.17zlvrthats why I am backing up
19:26.25pyromanceWell do you have anything on the Z that you really need to keep?
19:26.32zlvralready have a backup on CF via the backup/restore utility
19:26.42pyromanceThat won't do you much good moving to OZ
19:27.26pyromanceBest thing to do when moving to OZ is reinstall everything. Don't ask me about PIM stuff either. I never use the PIMs.
19:27.29zlvrwell ... I have that in a backup ... I have just PIMS etc which are synced from outlook anyways ... so its ok if I loose them ... just have a backup in case I want to move back to the Sharp ROM ... will that restore Qtopia and all the apps ?
19:27.52pyromanceWell you'll be using Opie instead of qtopia
19:28.04zlvryeah I don't mind reinstalling stuff after moving to OZ ...
19:28.06zlvryup
19:28.06pyromanceSo it's more wise to reinstall the apps
19:28.37pyromanceI've done so many ROM flashes I can do it in my sleep. The only thing I ever get upset about is losing my Froot high schores
19:28.40zlvrbut is the process reversible ... if I want to move back to the Sharp ROM ? I have an original NAND backup file from conics.net
19:28.47zlvrhahaha
19:29.00pyromanceooooh. You want to save stuff in case you move back
19:29.01pyromanceHmm
19:29.15zlvryes
19:29.24zlvr:)
19:29.42pyromanceWell the best generic advice in ROM flashing is just to keep a backup of all your apps, and sync your PIM data if you can
19:29.50zlvralready done
19:30.03zlvrusing the Backup/Restore utility ...
19:30.09pyromanceBecause I've had little luck backing up / restoring from TARs
19:30.09zlvrand sync'd with outlook
19:30.23zlvrok not a problem ...was just using that as a second backup
