09:52.08RockClimberWhat's the preferref media player for the Zaurus with OZ3.2?
09:52.46RockClimberOoops, I mean 3.5.2 - I was up until 1am cooking pancakes - very tired
09:55.09XorARockClimber: depends who and what is being played
09:59.07RockClimberShould have said, I meant mp3s
10:00.39XorARockClimber: xmms
10:01.04RockClimberLast time I had a fully configured OZ (I think 3.2 or 3.3.5) I was using xmms, but there was an issue about whether the headphones or the pizeo was used (5500).
10:01.36XorARockClimber: I dont beleive the piezo sound device exists in 3.5.2 because it caused problems with alarms
10:01.45hrw|workRockClimber: under oz 3.5.x we removed patch which allows to play by buzzer
10:02.39RockClimberHow about e-mail - what's availble for IMAP?
10:02.53XorAopie-mail does IMAP now
10:02.57hrw|workopie-mail
10:03.03XorAkinda
10:03.38RockClimberAnd which web browser - konq or try and get an Opera working?
10:04.19XorARockClimber: opera 7.3 I had working nicely with oz-compat
10:04.38hrw|workI had opera 7.55 on collie
10:04.41XorARockClimber: I got the .ipk's from www.zaurususergroup.com
10:04.56XorAhrw|work: 7.55 for me segfaults almost immediately
10:06.08RockClimberI used to like Opera 6, what 7.3 got that makes it better? Anything really useful?
10:10.13XorARockClimber: it renders pages a little better
10:12.07RockClimberFinal question... Is there any reason to move any flash directories to SD. If apps are installed to ext2 SD, where do documents and the like end up?
10:12.34RockClimberI mean, like "/home on SD" with the older ROMS.
10:24.21RockClimberXorA - so where do you save your documents?
10:32.12XorARockClimber: on an SD card
10:37.32RockClimberNot all apps seem to ask where to store documents though - I wondered if there was a way of moving the default home directory?
10:37.54XorAln -s /mnt/card/home /home
10:38.02XorAafter having moved/remove /home
10:39.56RockClimberokay
10:40.06RockClimberthank you, what about /root?
10:40.19XorARockClimber: ln -s /root /home/root
10:40.29*** join/#openzaurus libv (~libv@83-184.245.81.adsl.skynet.be)
10:40.37XorAln -s /home/root /root (the right way round)
10:40.48XorAthen it will be compatible with next release as well
10:41.13hrw|workXorA: thx - you reminded mi one bug in opie to fix
10:41.28XorAHOME=/root in /etc/init.d/opie :-)
10:41.31RockClimber? Will /root be moving to /home/root?
10:41.45XorARockClimber: yes
10:41.46hrw|workRockClimber: it is already done
10:41.49hrw|workXorA: exact
10:43.42XorAhrw|work: how do you force a downgrade in ipkg?
10:44.46hrw|workvi /usr/lib/ipkg/status
10:52.07RockClimberWhen you say it's already done, do you mean in the >3.5.2 experimental stuff?
10:52.16hrw|workyes
10:52.45hrw|workRockClimber: I can say that 3.5.2 for me was experiment ;)
11:11.13RockClimberwhich kernel is in 3.5.2?
11:11.37hrw|work2.4.18 as always
11:12.06RockClimberI'd forgotten - and my Z is at home.
11:35.59lardmanI'd forgotten how long glibc do_package() takes
11:36.09lardmanat least it all works without any troubles
11:36.34lardmanAnyone know about modifying defconfig files to generate usb modules?
11:37.08lardmanto be exact - are they generated somehow, or should I just go through and start removing # and adding YES
11:38.13hrw|worklardman: use bitbake to unpack, patch, configure kenrel, then go into kernel dir, use make menuconfig
11:38.24lardmanok, thanks
11:38.29hrw|worklardman: then save .config as defconfig-${MACHINE}
11:38.45hrw|workbtw - what usb modules? you build for x86 or tosa?
11:39.00lardmanfor shepherd
11:39.04lardmanwith ratoc cf card
11:39.19hrw|workah.. yes
11:39.29hrw|workmanaged to compile ratoc driver?
11:39.34lardmanno just thinking ahead, I spent most of yesterday evening fixing kernel build, but it works now
11:40.05lardmanI've got to the same stage as you did (in 5 min :-D) as I left your files here at work
11:40.28lardmanI'm sure my method is significantly messier
11:40.56hrw|workget it working - clean can be after made
11:41.04lardmanassuming glibc packaging finishes some time this year, I'll have another look this arvo
11:41.20hrw|worklow mem?
11:41.25lardman320mb
11:41.37lardmanno bb patches, no python speedup
11:41.50lardmanThe python speedup stuff wouldn't install
11:42.33lardmanwanted to find a Makefile (from Python itself) and I ran out of time trying to fix it (wanted my supper :-)
11:42.42hrw|work320mb.... use bitbake -b to glibc build
11:43.00lardmanthat specifies which ones to build?
11:43.15lardmanI'll look in the wiki, I've seen that somewhere
11:43.23hrw|workbitbake -b path/glibc/glibc_2.3.2+cvs20040726.bb
11:44.57lardmanI'll see if it finishes (as I've got other stuff to do this morning), otherwise I'll try that, thanks
11:45.03hrw|workok
11:45.11hrw|workglibc on lowmem can take ages
11:45.24lardmantell me about it :-)
11:45.51lardmanI guess I'd be better off applying the cow patches and using the pythin speedup too?
11:46.48hrw|workhowto build on lowmem:
11:46.53hrw|work1. disable psyco
11:46.57hrw|work2. use bbcow
11:47.01hrw|work3. use BBMASK
11:48.07lardmandisable psycho? It works (OE) well with psycho and oecow on my home machine (256MB)
11:49.39hrw|workpsyco take ram
11:50.33lardmanmute point anyway as it doesn't seem to want to install
11:51.06lardmanI've just started the bitbake -b on glibc, hopefully it'll finish after lunch
11:51.56hrw|workok. time to prepare some upgrades for 3.5.2 people
11:53.13lardmanok, thanks for the info about lowmem
11:55.04hrw|workno problem

12:53.46hrw|workirk
12:53.57hrw|workand it should work afaik
12:56.15XorAyes, should be only irk
12:56.27XorAswitch to irk as your input method, keyboard should just work (tm)
12:58.07lardmanGoing back to my modules question. Should I create a seperate kernel build to produce the usb modules, or can it be done as part of the normal one, and packaged seperately?
12:58.30dipnlikok, thanks. will try it tonight,when i get the KB.
12:58.52dipnlikanyone had problems installing the graffiti set for handwriting recognition?
12:59.11hrw|worklardman: alter config to get more modules and they will be packaged
12:59.50lardmanhrw|work: they won't be packaged seperately though will they? Modt people won't want them
13:00.23hrw|worklardman: so what? we ship so many modules... each of them can be installed by user
13:00.36dipnliki installed it and it took ages to complete the install and complained abut $QTDIR not being set correctly. tried to uninstall and some more ages to do it, and 10 minutes later it wasn't uninstalled.
13:00.49lardmanAh okay, they each have an ipk, I thought they were a job-lot. My mistake
13:00.49dipnlikproperly
13:00.59hrw|workdipnlik: you have wrong enviroment
13:01.11hrw|workinstall service-release1 or how it was called
13:01.43dipnlikwill look for it later

13:02.20dipnlikbut i will install things on it only at night  (11AM here now)

13:03.39lardmanhrw|work: wrt the cow patches, should only the b patch be applied (the bitbake one)?
13:03.54hrw|worklardman: bitbake one and packages one

13:07.05dipnlikanyone here using qplot on OZ? here it always terminates with a SIGPIPE.
13:09.22dipnlikalso, running qplot from console does nothing. No info, no error message
13:10.14hrw|workwe know it - noone tried to resolve it
13:11.36dipnlikany suggestions on scientific calcs?

16:20.06lardman|brbWell I've built one with OE
16:20.13lardman|brbBut it's failing with bitbake
16:20.29XorAI built oz-pxa-2.6 just yesterday
16:20.56lardman|brbcomplaining thus "arm-linux-gcc-2.95: No such file or directory"
16:21.07lardman|brband it's in the PATH
16:21.07XorAlardman|brb: read the wiki
16:21.15lardman|brbwhere?
16:21.23lardman|brbI've re-named if that's what you mean
16:21.59lardman|brbI assume that error does actually mean that it can't find arm-linux-gcc-2.95
16:23.15XorAlardman|brb: means you dont have 2.95 installed
16:23.25lardman|brblog here if anyone has any suggestions: http://students.bath.ac.uk/enpsgp/Zaurus/log.do_compile.4754

17:11.03kergothi want to kill tlhe old one off completely asap.
17:12.02hrw|workkergoth: disable editing of old one maybe?
17:12.40dipnlikkergoth: where is the new wiki?
17:12.52kergothdipnlik: openembedded.org. click on .. *gasp* .. "wiki"
17:13.05dipnliksorry :p
17:14.53dipnlikhm, it uses another system. i can help on the new wiki, but not now exactly. probably i'll have more time to do that on the weekend
17:15.24kergothnod, the wiki markup is different
17:15.33kergothits basically just a bunch of search/replaces to transition it
17:16.12hedgehairanyone check out qplot?
17:18.21dipnlikkergoth, i need to learn a little of both to check out what replaces i'll have to do.
17:18.39dipnlikhedgehair, not working yet =\
17:19.04kergothnod
17:19.39hedgehairdipnlik, the SIGPIPE thing? have you looked at the source yet?
17:21.37hedgehairint results[2]; ..... if (pipe (results) < 0) { fprintf(stderr, "Pipe error\n"); ... shouldent it be less than 2 ?
17:22.28kergothno, it should not
17:22.34kergothpipe returns 0 on success
17:22.38kergothon failure it returns -1
17:23.08kergothi'd really advise reading the man page on functions before assuming you know how their error handling works
17:23.35hedgehairbut the if is checking if results is less than 0 when its set to 2 ?
17:24.46kergothwhat are you talking about?
17:24.59kergothits checking if the value returned by the pipe() function is less than 0
17:25.15kergothperhaps you need to read a book on C.  I highly recommend "The C Programming Language" by kernighan and ritchie
17:25.30hedgehairyea yea yea

17:44.46dipnlikjust noticed: notez is great software, specially from ppl coming from PalmOS. But it doesn't sort the notes alphabetically. what are the chances that for this to be implemented?
17:45.02lardmanFor info: cfu1-driver has compiled successfully, not packaged yet as I'm wondering about the script which came with it (looks like it should be placed in /etc/pcmcia/config - I need to read the HowTo later on)
17:45.05kergothwhy dont you contact whoever maintains it?
17:45.35kergothlardman: in general its a good idea for that info to be in a seperate .conf rather than in the monolithic config
17:45.41kergothlike how hostap provides /etc/pcmcia/hostap_cs.conf
17:45.52lardmanah, okay, that's the way it is atm
17:46.02kergoththe pcmcia scripts load the .conf's automatically
17:46.14lardmanjust what I was about to ask
17:46.39lardmanOk, so should I produce a patch to create the file, or can it be included somehow from the packages dir?
17:46.51lardmanI'll take a look at some of the *examples* ;-)
17:47.00kergothif it didnt come from its sources, you can just drop the .conf into the filespath for the .bb in question
17:47.03kergothand do something like..
17:47.07kergothdo_install_append () {
17:47.17kergothinstall -m 0644 ${WORKDIR}/blah.conf ${D}/${sysconfdir}/pcmcia/
17:47.17kergoth}
17:47.18kergothor whatever
17:47.28kergothoh, and add it to SRC_URI of course, using file://
17:47.45lardmanjust what I was after
17:47.47kergothany file:// entries that are not flagged as patches get installed into ${WORKDIR} during the do_unpack phase
17:47.53kergothso that you can do with them what you will

23:18.53Bernardohi
23:19.24BernardoI need some help getting opie running again on my collie (oz 3.5.3 pre), something short of reinstalling it all
23:19.30BernardoWhen it starts, the screen is cleared, the log shows "successfully entered daemon mode" but opie never shows the desktop, and when I check there is no quicklauncher process running
23:19.45Bernardothis happened after it hung when I tried to suspend it
23:20.35BernardoI've already reinstalled opie-taskbar, but that didn't change a thing
23:28.02BernardoI now installed all "libopie*2-?" again, still no go. "/etc/init.d/opie start" changes vt to 2, but nothing more
