00:08.16 | Luke-Jr | I want to use a microphone on my Z while still hearing audio from the internal speakers... but the Z mutes the speakers when the mic is plugged in-- any ideas? |
00:09.36 | *** join/#openzaurus Timelord0 (~TL@64.147.65.249) |
00:11.23 | caffinated | Luke-Jr: as far as i can tell, on my sl-5500, it's one or the other. might be different in other models, i don't know. |
00:13.17 | Luke-Jr | caffinated: why would the mic block speakers? |
00:13.56 | caffinated | possibly to stop the mic from picking up feedback? |
00:14.26 | caffinated | on mine, the headphones and the mic jack are the same jack |
00:14.31 | Luke-Jr | same here |
00:14.35 | caffinated | and the speaker is little more than a buzzer |
00:14.36 | Luke-Jr | but I'm not trying to use headphones |
00:15.08 | Luke-Jr | It must be possible... there's at least 2 phone apps... |
00:15.30 | caffinated | i've seen that - i assumed it was for other models that overcame the issue. |
00:16.20 | Luke-Jr | all Zs have only one audio port, AFAIK |
00:16.26 | Luke-Jr | mine is a C760 |
00:17.31 | caffinated | weird that there would be VOIP apps then |
00:18.06 | Luke-Jr | Well, tkPhone is a commercial product |
00:18.10 | Luke-Jr | so it must be possible somehow |
00:18.16 | Luke-Jr | or they would have no target market |
00:20.17 | Luke-Jr | tkPhone is for 5x Series |
00:26.16 | caffinated | perhaps they use the microphone accessory for input and output, and just kill one while the other is in use. |
00:26.31 | caffinated | kinda like CB radios |
00:40.15 | Luke-Jr | caffinated: never seen anything for that |
00:41.10 | caffinated | Luke-Jr: i'm just speculating |
00:41.39 | caffinated | i have no idea how those applications are actually supposed to work. |
00:43.47 | Luke-Jr | also, Sharp marketed Zauruses for VoIP a while back |
00:43.50 | Luke-Jr | or at least trialed it |
00:44.37 | caffinated | i'm not saying there isn't a way, i just can't see what that way is. |
00:44.47 | caffinated | there is only one jack, and it's for both. it makes no sense. |
00:45.20 | caffinated | that, and i've never heard the internal speaker do anything more than make buzzer noises. |
00:45.50 | Luke-Jr | C760's can play music fine |
00:46.13 | caffinated | but the SL-5x00 can't |
00:46.22 | caffinated | so, why market a voip client for them? |
00:51.46 | Luke-Jr | hmm |
00:52.07 | Luke-Jr | I wonder if it's possible to tell the Z to use the 2 channels (stereo out) for mono in and mono out... |
00:52.40 | caffinated | i did some quick looking around, they aparently map to different devices, and the mic is mono ... |
00:52.45 | caffinated | you might be on to something there |
00:53.43 | caffinated | assuming it works, you'd need to make a bit of a hardware hack, but 10 minutes is a soldering iron and the right parts could make it happen |
00:53.50 | Luke-Jr | Where did you find that? |

00:54.01 | caffinated | Luke-Jr: just some random forum posts |
00:54.14 | Luke-Jr | where? I googled and didn't find anything like it o.o |
00:55.37 | caffinated | bleh, i lost the link, hangon, i'll see if i can find it in my history |
00:58.14 | Luke-Jr | thx |
00:58.20 | caffinated | http://www.kauss.org/Stephan/ziaxphone/index.html - noticed it there. looks like it's distro and hardware dependant |
00:58.35 | caffinated | not a lot of info there, just noticed it in the comments |
00:59.03 | Luke-Jr | I was just there... o.o |
00:59.17 | Luke-Jr | don't see anything about it |
00:59.34 | caffinated | right at the very top |
00:59.47 | Luke-Jr | the /dev/dsp stuff? that's normal for most Linux-based OS... |
00:59.51 | caffinated | he mentions that old sharp versions used two devices |
01:00.03 | Luke-Jr | actually, I think 5600 have a builtin mic |
01:08.47 | caffinated | i think i'll just email the creators of tkPhone and ask them how it's supposed to work on a 5500 - that's probably the quickest way to figure it out ;) |
01:09.06 | caffinated | since it's a commercial product, they'll probably answer in hopes of getting a sale |
01:13.47 | caffinated | sent. hopefully they'll get back to me - the app doesn't cost very much, and if it works, i might pick it up. |
01:13.58 | caffinated | voip sure would be nice |

10:46.59 | RockClimber | Is it possible to make the Z funtion as USB mass storage device (easily) so that it could be plugged into a USB port and used as a CF/SD reader? |
10:51.35 | dipnlik_ | RockClimber: proably yes, using samba. |
10:51.54 | dipnlik_ | RockClimber: or even just with ssh, using WinSCP. |
10:52.02 | hrw|work | dipnlik_: usb mass storage |
10:52.12 | hrw|work | RockClimber: which Z you have? |
10:52.29 | hrw|work | basically in OZ we dont have needed kernel modules (atleast for collie) |
10:52.51 | dipnlik_ | hrw|work: sorry, what's the difference? |
10:53.44 | dipnlik_ | where can i get a compatibility list for wi-fi cards? |
10:53.54 | hrw|work | dipnlik_: usb mass storage is like 'pendrive' - connect, grab files, disconnect |
10:54.28 | hrw|work | dipnlik_: no shit like "which driver I have to get to get Z connected over usb", "how to install samba on Z?" etc.. |

10:55.32 | RockClimber | basically, 128mb data sticks are £11 from Amazon - trying to work out whether to get one, or just use my Z. |
11:20.24 | RockClimber | i think i'll get a datastick - they always come in useful |
11:20.52 | RockClimber | I could always take a linux distro on it, then I'll be able to NAT my Z anywhere |
11:26.29 | RockClimber | On Friday I wrote this search program (http://users.ox.ac.uk/cgi-bin/safeperl/scat1139/ipkg) to search the OZ 3.5.2 Feed. On Saturday in #oe someone suggested it was redundant as ipkgfind could search those feeds - what are your views? |
11:27.13 | RockClimber | I though ipkgview was for the Familiar build of OE and therefore it would be confusing displaying Z and Familiar ipkgs |
11:28.06 | dipnlik_ | RockClimber: haven't tried, but two is always better than one. Ppl can choose what they prefer, can use the other if one is down, etc. |
11:30.59 | RockClimber | does anyone have a Z->USB cable? Does it have any fancy electronics in it? |

11:33.19 | RockClimber | hrw|work, that's good to know. I built a Z-Serial cable to connect my GPS with. Was wondering if I could build a Z->USB too. |
11:33.33 | Luke-Jr | hrw|work: Happen to know what I would need to do to connect a headphone and mic to my Z at the same time? (it would probably use wires ;) |
11:33.34 | RockClimber | Is it possible to charge the Z with the USB power? |
11:34.50 | RockClimber | Luke-Jr, I wouldn't have thought you could, it might be a stereo socket, but there's only one GND |
11:35.00 | Luke-Jr | RockClimber: you could probably at least slow the battery drain... |
11:35.11 | hrw|work | RockClimber: mic is on left channel |
11:35.18 | hrw|work | Luke-Jr: mic is on left channel |
11:35.44 | Luke-Jr | hrw|work: so I can just share the ground and split the left/right? |
11:36.06 | hrw|work | RockClimber: charging.. maybe it is possible but who know how long will usb live in machine from which you will get power... I burnt one port with sony clie charging... |
11:36.11 | hrw|work | Luke-Jr: probably |

12:40.30 | RockClimber | just been reading that link Lardman posted about DOCs and their absence, I disagree that a Wiki is necessary. I think a small team of volunteers would be better. Say 5-10 people who are all grateful for the contribution of the coders but unable to respond by coding. |
12:45.58 | RockClimber | There are something like 8000 packages in OE, but I think that most Z questions surround a handful of apps. 5 people covering console/media/web+mail/PIM+apps/compatibility could easily write good documents in a month.

14:33.08 | xfze | it must be something with img |
14:33.15 | xfze | yes poodle |
14:33.38 | xfze | at the moment i have the zImage from 3.5.2 and opie.img from 3.5.1 and it works |
14:33.57 | xfze | if I try the img's from 3.5.2 it doens't work |
14:34.09 | hrw | xfze: poodle support is very limited - no hardware in OZ team |
14:34.33 | xfze | it does the bootsrap, init 5 and then opie in 5 sec.... screen goes blank :( |
14:35.13 | xfze | hrw, maybe i should email them reporting this, no? |

14:36.04 | hrw | xfze: you can also try to get help at ZUG/OESF forums |
14:36.06 | hrw | ~zug |
14:36.07 | ibot | well, zug is Zaurus User Group - probably the largest source of Zaurus (and other LinuxPDA) informations. Since 2005 it is called OESF. URL: http://www.oesf.org/ |
14:36.15 | xfze | yeah i serached already |
14:36.19 | xfze | *searched |
14:36.20 | hrw | aha |
14:38.06 | xfze | another thing, if i choose the format option on maintanance mode everything is erased, what's the diference in the update wich partitions are erased during the update? |
14:44.19 | xfze | oh, and if try to use the 3.5.1 opie (1.16) and then update with the 3.5.2 feed (1.17) it also gets me to a blank screen |
14:44.41 | xfze | the problem can be with opie |
14:45.29 | brimstone | my 5600 runs opie 3.5.2 just fine |
14:45.43 | brimstone | i just downloaded the 3 files to my sd card and reflashed it |
14:45.46 | brimstone | it worked fine |
14:45.58 | brimstone | it was running 3.5.1 before it if that matters |

14:47.15 | xfze | the img from 3.5.2 led me to blank screens |
14:47.33 | brimstone | the best i can do is send you the md5sums of the files that i used |

15:01.37 | Fuchur | Hello. Is there a list of known bugs in OpenZaurus and where can I submit bugreports? |
15:01.51 | xfze | i'm gonna try a reflash now |
15:02.42 | Fuchur | xfze: I had problems to download big files from openzaurus.org, too. |
15:02.57 | hrw | Fuchur: oz release notes, bugs.openembedded.org, opie bugtracker |
15:03.00 | xfze | fuchur, http://bugs.openembedded.org/ |
15:03.31 | hrw | Fuchur: it depends what bug - if opie one then go to opie bugtracker, if distro one then oe bugtracker. if gpe then hh.org bugzilla etc |
15:03.31 | Fuchur | Thanks |
15:04.15 | xfze | is it "healthy" to format before the update? |
15:04.27 | xfze | or it's better just to update? |
15:05.41 | xfze | what more get's deleted that it is not on update? |
15:06.37 | Fuchur | hrw: Hmm, that's difficult. I don't know if it's the kernel or Opie. My memory is displayed incorrectly. I have 16 MB Flash + 64 MB RAM (32 Mem. + 32 Storage) and it displays only 16 MB Flash + (32 Memory + 16 Storage) |
15:07.43 | hrw | Fuchur: collie with 32/32 kernel? |
15:07.51 | Fuchur | hrw: Yes |
15:08.12 | hrw | Fuchur: what does "df -h" in terminal say? |
15:09.28 | Fuchur | <PROTECTED> |
15:09.58 | RockClimber | some libraries seem to install to /mnt/card/usr/lib and some to /opt/Qtopia/lib, I'm having trouble with some apps not seeing all the libraries they need - is there a library path variable? |
15:10.12 | hrw | Fuchur: so all is ok |
15:10.54 | hrw | Fuchur: / is flash /mnt/ram/ is ramdisk /var/ is tmpfs which use up to half of ram for temporary data |
15:11.04 | *** join/#openzaurus bisho (~bisho@138.100.31.236) |
15:12.20 | xfze | hrw, does the / flash gets erased on update? |
15:12.22 | Fuchur | hrw: I'm understanding / and /mnt/ram/, but why doesn't /var/ show 32 MB with 16 MB used? |
15:12.49 | hrw | xfze: yes |
15:12.58 | xfze | thk u |
15:13.16 | hrw | Fuchur: /var/ is configured to take up to half ram - so 16 on your collie |
15:13.32 | xfze | booting 3.5.2 fingers crossed :D |
15:13.54 | hrw | btw - newer opie doesnt show /var/ in settings/system info/storage |
15:14.15 | xfze | opie in 5... |
15:14.33 | xfze | it worked =))))))))))))))) |
15:14.47 | Fuchur | hrw: But where is the remaining RAM? 32 MB + 16 MB is 48 MB and not 64 ... *confused* |
15:14.49 | hrw | xfze: ;) |
15:15.08 | hrw | Fuchur: 32/32 kernel == 32MB of RAM for storage, 32MB for RAM |
15:15.14 | xfze | so simple and it didn't ocurred me... download corruption |
15:15.18 | hrw | so 16 = half of 32MB RAM |
15:15.19 | Fuchur | hrw: thats clear |
15:15.59 | hrw | Fuchur: and? |
15:16.46 | Fuchur | hrw: But when I have a harddisk with normal desktop linux and it is 32 MB in size and I put 16 MB on it, then "df" reports 32 MB with 16 MB free. Why does the Zaurus show only 16 MB with 16 MB free? |
15:17.34 | Fuchur | Perhaps I should inform me about what tmpfs does, first ... |
15:17.48 | Fuchur | Perhaps that makes it clear to me ... |
15:18.46 | hrw | tmpfs is filesystem which use memory for temporary data - think about ramdisk in amigaos (if you used Amiga) |
15:18.59 | hrw | it can use only defined amount or ram |
15:19.08 | Fuchur | hrw: I *use* an Amiga :-) ... |
15:19.57 | hrw | Fuchur: so tmpfs is RAM: and /mnt/ram/ is RAD: |
15:20.00 | Fuchur | hrw: OK, tmpfs uses 16 MB from the Storage-RAM, right? |
15:20.10 | hrw | Fuchur: no - from memory-ram |
15:20.31 | Fuchur | hrw: Ah, OK. |
15:23.07 | Fuchur | hrw: I understand. And the 16 MB Flash are shown nowhere? |
15:23.31 | hrw | Fuchur: its / |
15:24.35 | xfze | i had some trouble with package manager on opie 1.16 |
15:24.49 | xfze | i hope now with 1.17 it's ok |
15:25.02 | xfze | or else i will start using ipkg on the console |
15:25.16 | xfze | (the package manager kept freezing my Z) |
15:25.37 | hrw | xfze: add "upgrades" feed into config and install newer opie-packagemanager |
15:26.11 | xfze | it's already there |
15:26.21 | xfze | it came with 3.5.2 =) |
15:26.30 | xfze | on 3.5.1 i defined the src |
15:26.39 | hrw | aha |

15:28.21 | xfze | and more... x11...unknown..e...etc |
15:28.33 | xfze | i'll add as i need |
15:33.34 | xfze | . /home is ramdisk you said, but it doesn't get erased on reboot, does it? |
15:34.43 | xfze | in ram is only /var right? |
15:34.59 | hrw | on non collie /home is second flash partition and is not erased during reflash |
15:35.44 | xfze | yeah, i just asked because of apps |
15:36.12 | xfze | the / and /home are fash all i need =) |
15:37.27 | xfze | i'm quite happy now, the qpdf2 now doesn't need an extra parameter just to not seg fault on start =)) |
15:37.42 | xfze | it seems to me it's all on wheels =) |

18:24.12 | lardman | what's the problem with /home? |
18:24.48 | lardman | I presume you're using the new ipkg-link |
18:28.07 | xfze | i'm using the GUI package manager |
18:28.25 | xfze | the problem seems to be that it doesn't create the dirs |
18:28.37 | xfze | i was right now installing knights |
18:29.31 | lardman | if you're using the normal ipkg-link it won't produce symlinks for unusual mount points (like /home)? |
18:29.35 | xfze | and i could see that lone files (ie. /opt/QtPalmtop/bin/knights) are linked ok, but files wich need a dir to be created |
18:29.39 | lardman | hmm, that wasn't a question |
18:29.48 | xfze | like a /pics/ dir |
18:30.01 | lardman | oh |
18:30.22 | xfze | i'm installing files to /home |
18:30.34 | xfze | but those files need to have a link in / |
18:30.38 | lardman | is this a recent build of OZ? |
18:30.42 | xfze | 3.5.2 |
18:30.48 | lardman | no updates? |
18:30.55 | xfze | all updated |
18:31.04 | lardman | you've added /home as a dest to /etc/ipkg.conf? |
18:31.12 | xfze | (from the 3.5.2 feed that is) |
18:31.16 | lardman | by updates I meant directly from OE |
18:31.16 | xfze | yes i did |
18:31.33 | xfze | i have a "dest ramdisk /home" |
18:31.42 | lardman | if you try 'ipkg-link mount /home' from the command line, it won't work |
18:31.53 | xfze | yes i realised that already :D |
18:32.03 | lardman | you need the new version of ipkg-link |
18:32.07 | xfze | it says package not found |
18:32.18 | xfze | where can i find it? |
18:32.20 | lardman | yes, 'cos the dests were hard-coded |
18:32.27 | lardman | hang on a tick, I'll get a link |
18:33.05 | xfze | so by updating ipkg-link the links will no be correctly created? no more need for manual links? thats excellent :D |
18:33.12 | lardman | yes |
18:33.13 | lardman | http://dev.worldguard.com.au/ipkg-link |
18:33.22 | lardman | this should have been added to OE now |

18:34.41 | hrw | lardman: that version parse ipkg config? |
18:34.58 | lardman | hrw: yes, it parses dests from ipkg.conf |
18:35.16 | hrw | ipkg can have config files also in /etc/ipkg/* |
18:35.18 | lardman | not my work, I just suggested it: http://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=6420&hl=ipkg-link |

18:35.51 | hrw | lardman: with any info |
18:36.07 | lardman | ok, well it's a limited fix then |
18:36.21 | hrw | anyway its better then original |
18:36.40 | hrw | opie-packagemanager have this functionality build-in anyway |
18:36.43 | lardman | shell scripts aren't my forte, I'm sure someone could modify it to look in /etc/ipkg/ too |
18:36.59 | lardman | opie-packagemanager - cool |

20:01.39 | jfm1 | I'm running 3.5.2, the gpe initrd, on a poodle, and I can't get the calendar to work. When I try to save an appointment, it fails, sometimes logging me out. I can't find this bug in the bugtracker or in the release notes. I am also somewhat dim. Am I missing something? |
20:11.29 | xfze | just in case check the gpe.img md5 |
20:11.41 | xfze | i had problems with my imgs |
20:12.15 | xfze | but in my case i didn't get to work with gpe |
20:12.15 | xfze | it stuck on its loading |

22:04.01 | xfze | who uses a web browser on Z ? |
22:04.33 | xfze | konqueror-embedded was stucking in pages like google =\ |
22:05.49 | saturn | I would also like to know recommendations for web browser |
22:06.38 | saturn | Is minimo good compared to opera, netfront or konq? |
22:10.36 | xfze | i didn't knew minimo |
22:10.46 | xfze | in mozillas site:Currently minimo takes up about 25 mb of RSS |
22:10.47 | xfze | ? |
22:11.29 | xfze | and where's a feed with opera for OZ ? |
22:13.19 | xfze | saturn, there's also firefox in 3.5.2/feed/x11 |
22:13.25 | saturn | I tried opera and netfront in the cacko rom, I don't know where to find them. They are closed and cost $$ |
22:13.32 | xfze | but its 7,9MB |
22:14.15 | saturn | hmm, is firefox == minimo? |
22:15.07 | xfze | i dunno |
22:15.23 | saturn | because I found it on some qpe rom I tried |
22:16.11 | xfze | http://ipkgfind.handhelds.org/details.phtml?package=minimo&official=&format= |
22:16.19 | xfze | minimo has a ipk 4,8MB |
22:16.29 | xfze | i gues they are diferent |
22:16.58 | xfze | firefox ipk must be a hack from the "desktop version" |
22:17.15 | xfze | minimo is meant for pda |
22:17.21 | saturn | yep |
22:17.44 | xfze | Depends: |
22:17.44 | xfze | libgtk2.0-0, libxt |
22:17.46 | saturn | I am running debian on my zaurus, with the cacko kernel |
22:17.56 | xfze | low depends thats good |
22:18.09 | saturn | so I am now trying to crosscompile minimo and making a .dpkg |
22:18.21 | saturn | yep, low depends are good |
22:20.52 | xfze | i'll try this familiar ipk, i think it should work |
22:21.07 | saturn | wire.hn.org/mozconfig.txt <- here you see what is included |
22:21.24 | saturn | it is the configure options to build minimo |
22:29.34 | xfze | i don't have libgtk2 |
22:29.40 | xfze | i'll try firefox |
22:33.43 | xfze | thousands of dependecies =\ |
22:33.46 | xfze | failed |
22:34.43 | xfze | does anyone have djview compiled? |
22:34.53 | xfze | an ipk would be great =) |
