00:09.36*** join/#openzaurus MrZaius (~cragos@c-617e73d5.045-65-6c756c10.cust.bredbandsbolaget.se)
00:09.40MrZaiushey
00:09.52MrZaiuswhat all's new in opie 1.1.1, and is it pretty stable?
00:10.24mickeylhttp://cvs.handhelds.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/opie/ChangeLog?rev=1.8&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup
00:10.34mickeyl1.1.x series is unstable
00:10.40mickeyl1.2.x series will be stable
00:10.52MrZaiusunstable like it crashes frequently, or unstable like it's labled unstable?
00:11.00Pendalarevery other .1 they go on a drinking spell?
00:11.03mickeylno idea. never tried
00:11.34MrZaiusdoesn't seem like very many people have at all
00:11.49MrZaiusor at least, it doesn't seem like many people have and are awake at the moment
00:11.51mickeylyeah. few people compile their own releases
00:11.58MrZaiusthere's binaries
00:12.02bkw-laptopsometimes when I start my z and the enter passcode window popups it just seem to freeze
00:12.09MrZaiusopie.org has binaries compiled for oz under gcc 3.x and 2.x
00:12.11bkw-laptopand I cannot do a shit
00:12.31MrZaiusbkw-laptop: just sometimes?  everything's normal the other times?
00:12.46bkw-laptopok, often!
00:13.21bkw-laptoplike now, I cannot even turn off the z
00:13.34bkw-laptopdonno why this happen
00:13.46MrZaiusbkw-laptop: try and reproduce the error on the cradle
00:14.02MrZaiusor while it's set to connect to the/a network in some other manner
00:14.06MrZaiusand then see if you can ssh into it
00:14.19MrZaiusit might help to know if opie's dead, or if the zaurus has completely crashed
00:14.25bkw-laptopno I couldnt do that yesturday
00:14.32bkw-laptopssh to it when it freezed
00:15.09MrZaiusand you're pretty sure the network connection was set up right/didn't require any changes on the Z side to make it work?
00:15.46MrZaius(I've found 3.3.5 and subsequent versions occasionally forget the default ip for the usbd0 interface, but that's probably not the problem)
00:15.48bkw-laptopyes
00:16.03MrZaiusokay.... well, so much for that, then.
00:16.16MrZaiuswhat version of OZ, and have you upgraded the locking mechanism?
00:16.22MrZaiusoh, and does this happen with the lock turned off?
00:16.51bkw-laptopthis happend yesturday when it turned it on in the bay, but also happens now removed from the bay
00:17.09bkw-laptopversion 3.2
00:17.22bkw-laptoplocking mechanism ?
00:17.32MrZaiuswhatever the pin cody thing is called
00:17.34MrZaiusI never use it
00:18.12MrZaiusway I figure, if someone that knows what they're doing steals mine, there's no important data on it, and even if it was super-secure, they could just reflash it
00:18.56bkw-laptophow do I upgrade the passwd checker ?
00:19.10MrZaiusdepends.  can you get it running at all?
00:19.24MrZaiusibot: where is oz 3.3.4?
00:19.25well, oz 3.3.4 is http://www.opie.us/opie/devZone.php/initrds/OZ-Opie-1.02/ , a nice new version using opie 1.02.  OZ 3.2 with updated opie
00:19.26bkw-laptopI've to take out the battery and restart.
00:19.52MrZaiusif you can get it running long enough to back things up and reflash, you might try the above
00:19.59MrZaiusor oz-3.3.6-pre1
00:20.12MrZaiusI'm assuming you have an SL-5500 or 5000
00:20.19bkw-laptop5500
00:20.31MrZaiuson my 5500, both of the aforementioned OZ builds have been remarkably stable and well behaved
00:20.46MrZaiusand they both come with 1.02 or 1.03 builds of opie, so that might solve your problem
00:21.06MrZaiusif it doesn't, then it's time to file a bug report or two
00:21.10bkw-laptopcould you please explain a little more in detail what need to be done
00:21.16MrZaiusmight wait an hour or three and see if USian people wake up
00:21.23MrZaiusthe devs might have some better ideas
00:23.38bkw-laptopMrZaius: what do you recommend me atm ?
00:23.47MrZaiusdepends
00:23.57MrZaiusdo you have info on the zaurus that's vital and not backed up?
00:24.08MrZaiusif not, I'd reflash to OZ 3.3.4, linked to above
00:24.08bkw-laptopno
00:24.17MrZaiusif you do, then I'd wait and see what more competent people have to say
00:24.29MrZaiuscool.  well, good luck
00:24.36MrZaiusI'm gonna run on off to bed now
00:24.36mickeylg'night
00:24.41MrZaiusnight
00:24.59bkw-laptopis 3.3.4 testing ?
00:25.18MrZaiussorta, but not really
00:25.23MrZaiusit's a stable opie release
00:25.25MrZaius1.02
00:25.29MrZaiusand it's the kernel from OZ stable
00:25.34MrZaiusbest of both worlds
00:26.00MrZaiusstill built with gcc-2.x, too, so it's compatible with all the regular 3rd party ipks and opera without a compatability layer
00:26.21bkw-laptophmm
00:26.23MrZaiusthe 3.3.6-pre1 build mentioned in the topic is the current cutting edge distro
00:26.35MrZaiusit's built with gcc-3.x, which breaks compatibility with a lot of things
00:26.41bkw-laptopI can only find 3.2 and 3.3.5 for download on oz site
00:26.52MrZaiusit'll all be nice and clean in a couple of months, when everything's rebuilt for it
00:27.03MrZaiusbut for now, it's not easy enough to use for me to mess with it
00:27.11MrZaius(no cross compiler that I can easily use)
00:27.23MrZaiusibot: where is oz 3.3.4?
00:27.24oz 3.3.4 is probably http://www.opie.us/opie/devZone.php/initrds/OZ-Opie-1.02/ , a nice new version using opie 1.02.  OZ 3.2 with updated opie
00:27.28MrZaiusibot: where is oz 3.3.6-pre1?
00:27.29I think you lost me on that one, MrZaius
00:27.52MrZaiusibot: oz 3.3.6-pre1 is at http://openzaurus.org/official/experimental/
00:27.53MrZaius: okay
00:28.13MrZaiusbkw-laptop: personally, what I use is oz 3.3.4, distributed by the opie project
00:28.16MrZaiusit's rock solid, so far
00:28.20tomtaylorthe correct link for the 5500 is: http://www.openzaurus.org/official/experimental/collie/3.3.6-pre1-2.4.18-gcc3/
00:28.23MrZaiusand I've been using it for months
00:28.39bkw-laptopMrZaius: I get connection refused on that link
00:28.42MrZaiusyup, but it oughta be more generic in ibot
00:28.46MrZaiuswhich one?
00:28.47bkw-laptopk
00:28.56bkw-laptophttp://www.opie.us/opie/devZone.php/initrds/OZ-Opie-1.02/
00:29.03MrZaiusunless you're talking about the www. bit
00:29.11tomtaylorI'll give opie 1.1.1 a try. Opie 1.1.1: http://opie.handhelds.org/feed/openzaurus/unstable-gcc3/SL5xxx/
00:29.26MrZaiusthat's weird....
00:29.34MrZaiusbkw-laptop: I can't hit it right now either
00:29.38MrZaiusbut it worked yesterday
00:29.41bkw-laptophmm
00:29.42MrZaiuslooks like the whole site might be down
00:29.48MrZaiusgive it an hour or two
00:30.02MrZaiusor google for opie and see if they've moved
00:30.44bkw-laptopMrZaius: are you talking about oz 3.3.4 ? I guess it's a rom with opie and all the stuff I've in 3.2 ?
00:30.46bkw-laptopright ?
00:30.52MrZaiusyeah, pretty much
00:30.56MrZaiusthink 3.3.5, but stable
00:31.11MrZaius(3.3.5 crashed all the time and had numerous other minor glitches on my 5500)
00:31.27MrZaius3.3.4 is stable, runs the 3.3.2 kernel, but an up to date build of opie
00:31.32MrZaiuswell, kinda up-to-date
00:31.34MrZaius1.02
00:31.43MrZaiusthere's a 1.03 out there, too
00:31.49MrZaiusbut the difference is minor
00:32.19MrZaiusI'm gonna run on off to bed, now.  got class in 7 or 8 hours, and it'll take me an hour or two to get up and get over there
00:32.23MrZaiuswish me luck
00:32.27bkw-laptophmm, Iam running 0.9.3snapshot from what I can read now
00:32.27MrZaiusand tom,
00:32.48MrZaiustomtaylor: would you mind emailing me your thoughts on opie 1.1.1 after you've played with it?
00:33.02tomtaylorsure
00:33.11tomtaylorwhats your email?
00:33.14MrZaiusthere's a build in the opie feed
00:33.17MrZaiuscragos@myrealbox.com
00:33.19MrZaiusthanks
00:33.20bkw-laptopMrZaius: shouldnt I be able to find oz 3.3.4 roms on oz site ?
00:33.29MrZaiusbkw-laptop: I don't think so
00:33.37MrZaiusit was built by the opie people, I believe
00:33.38bkw-laptopstrange
00:33.44bkw-laptopahh
00:33.57MrZaiusbut try that site again in an hour or two
00:34.02MrZaiusor...
00:34.05MrZaiuscan you get dccs?
00:34.13MrZaiusI can send an initrd.bin and zimage, if you want
