00:00.14nopaland I say always, because now I am sadly draining my internal battery to give a shot to the plain sharp rom or the zynergy

00:01.09nopalFare: actually, i could do the experiment of installing a distro, let's say thekompany again, do *NOTHING*, sync and reboot
00:01.19nopalif that fails, then something is fishy. what do you think?
00:04.21Faretry
00:05.08nopalFare: trying...

00:08.51alakdananyone using sl b500 (the jap version of 5600) ?
00:09.20nodensmhmm... I got a *lot* of 404 on treke.net
00:09.37nodensseems like this site is really messed up right now
00:10.08nodensI found the exported buildroot, but no kernel-headers, and no download page
00:10.42nodensis there a mirror somewhere ? an alternate site ?
00:11.11alakdanim just wondering if the if the boot menu of 5600/b500 is similar to this http://downloads.conics.net/pda/zaurus-sl-c700/service-menus/

00:16.35nopalFare: installed synergy, synced and rebooted <wish me luck...>
00:18.12Fareluck would be you suddenly get a clue and stop being a geek and chase girls instead
00:21.05Faredepends. If it syncs in the background (bdflush, kupdated properly configured) and/or if you use a journalled filesystem, it might work without explicitly syncing
00:25.34nopalI see Fare, thanks
00:26.51nopalNow, comes the next issue, I installed the usbnet scripts on my fedora box, do I have to do something on the Zaruus side so it uses the USB for it's network when I connect it to the computer?
00:27.21FareI think you don't
00:27.36Farethat said, I never discovered where the automatic IP address was configured
00:27.54Fareso I had to do something nonetheless so as to use an IP address of my liking
00:28.20nopalI see.
00:28.26Fare(and most importantly, of Windows' liking, for Windows by default will only route 192.168.0.x addresses)
00:29.04Fareyou might have to do something on the desktop side
00:29.16Farecheck that your Z has an IP with ifconfig
00:29.35nopalok
00:31.06nopalyep, 192.168.29.201
00:31.10nopal:P
00:31.22nopallet me ping
00:32.21nopalnetwork is unreachable ...
00:33.12nopalI think I need to add a route.
00:33.46nopalFare: do you know where the equivalent of /etc/sysconfig/network/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 is in a zaurus?
00:33.54Farelocal route is automatic
00:34.07Farenopal: I just told you I didn't know :(
00:34.16Faregrep might help you
00:34.24Fareuse it in a wiser way than I did
00:34.35nopalthanks fare... looking into it
00:35.12Fareusual suspects are in /etc
00:38.16nodensnopal, it is debian-based, so it will be /etc/network/interfaces
00:39.54alakdanlast drakx
00:41.42Farenote that for faster search, you can download a .tar.gz of the contents into your desktop and grep into it
00:41.54nopalfare and nodens thanks

00:43.34nopalnodens: I am using Zynergy, /etc/network doesn't exist
00:44.00nodensdoh... I thought you were using oz :)
00:44.41Farenopal: what does grep say?
00:44.52Fare(maybe the IP address is hardwired in the module?)
00:45.06nopalnodens :) tnx, for the moment I am not so brave to use oz... I wil eventually :)
00:45.22nopalFare, I found sysconfig
00:45.42kergothand you're trying to get help with your non oz rom in this channel why exactly?
00:46.23nopalkergoth: I apologize
00:46.42kergothno big deal, just sayin
00:48.24Farekergoth: what def-config should I start from?
00:48.45*** join/#openzaurus imk (imk@ca-temecula-cuda2-c2b-11.snbrca.adelphia.net)
00:49.37kergothdef-config?
00:49.51kergothoh, you're using buildroot.  you're largely on your own, its unsupported.
00:49.57Faredarn
00:50.00Farewhat's supported?
00:50.03kergothuse whatever you want. depends on what you need.
00:50.18kergoththe new system, which doesnt yet produce a bootable rootfs for the Z
00:50.44Fareare there docs?
00:50.51FareI don't need a bootable rootfs
00:50.55kergothyep
00:51.01FareI must boot on an ad-hoc ramdisk anyway
00:51.02kergothsee the oe-doc repos on openembedded.bkbits.net
00:51.08kergothinitial pass docbook documentation
00:51.12kergothrun make and read up
00:52.35Farebk clone bk://openembedded.bkbits.net/oe-doc ?
00:52.47kergothyep
00:52.58kergoththen 'oe' is the actual tools, and 'packages' is the metadata for the packaeges to build
00:53.06kergoth(we keep them independent, unlike buildroot)
00:53.56Fareshould I just rm -rf buildroot-oz ?
00:54.08kergoth..
00:54.11kergothif you arent going to use it
00:54.20kergothkeeping your hard disk clean is your business, not mine
00:54.33Fare:)
00:54.49Fareis it also bk clone to update my repository?
00:54.52kergoththe new system has a ton more packages than the old one ever did
00:54.53kergothno

00:54.59kergothcd repo; bk pull; bk -r co -q
00:55.04kergothread the faqs on bitmover.com
00:55.10Fareok, thanks
00:55.21kergothat current count the new systme produces around 720 ipks
00:55.39kergothcourse it builds multiple versions of a number of things, so that isnt quite an accurate count :)
00:55.40nodensseems nice... usable yet or ?
00:56.02kergothi use the new system to maintain a linux distribution at my work
00:56.06kergothso yes, i'd say so
00:56.48kergothnow the package sthemselves probably need tweaking and integration work to be up to the level of their buidlroot countaerparts
00:56.58kergothso itd be great if people could produce packages with teh new system, and play around with them
00:57.02kergothsee whats missing and what isnt
00:57.05kergothpeewai|zaurus: no.
00:57.10peewai|zaurus:(
00:57.32kergothand there wont be until oz 3.6.1 releases. thats a LONG way off
00:57.47kergoththe next testing release, 3.5.1, will support it, however
00:58.11peewai|zaurusalready tried but it was very unusable
00:58.25peewai|zaurusi mean a previous vers of course
00:59.36kergothwell obviously. if it was stable, it wouldnt be an experimental release
00:59.40kergothheh
00:59.45peewai|zauruslol i assume
