00:02.01xfzemust be another one too =(
00:08.16Luke-JrI 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)
00:11.23caffinatedLuke-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.
00:13.17Luke-Jrcaffinated: why would the mic block speakers?
00:13.56caffinatedpossibly to stop the mic from picking up feedback?
00:14.26caffinatedon mine, the headphones and the mic jack are the same jack
00:14.31Luke-Jrsame here
00:14.35caffinatedand the speaker is little more than a buzzer
00:14.36Luke-Jrbut I'm not trying to use headphones
00:15.08Luke-JrIt must be possible... there's at least 2 phone apps...
00:15.30caffinatedi've seen that - i assumed it was for other models that overcame the issue.
00:16.20Luke-Jrall Zs have only one audio port, AFAIK
00:16.26Luke-Jrmine is a C760
00:17.31caffinatedweird that there would be VOIP apps then
00:18.06Luke-JrWell, tkPhone is a commercial product
00:18.10Luke-Jrso it must be possible somehow
00:18.16Luke-Jror they would have no target market
00:20.17Luke-JrtkPhone is for 5x Series
00:26.16caffinatedperhaps they use the microphone accessory for input and output, and just kill one while the other is in use.
00:26.31caffinatedkinda like CB radios
00:40.15Luke-Jrcaffinated: never seen anything for that
00:41.10caffinatedLuke-Jr: i'm just speculating
00:41.39caffinatedi have no idea how those applications are actually supposed to work.
00:43.47Luke-Jralso, Sharp marketed Zauruses for VoIP a while back
00:43.50Luke-Jror at least trialed it
00:44.37caffinatedi'm not saying there isn't a way, i just can't see what that way is.
00:44.47caffinatedthere is only one jack, and it's for both.  it makes no sense.
00:45.20caffinatedthat, and i've never heard the internal speaker do anything more than make buzzer noises.
00:45.50Luke-JrC760's can play music fine
00:46.13caffinatedbut the SL-5x00 can't
00:46.22caffinatedso, why market a voip client for them?
00:51.46Luke-Jrhmm
00:52.07Luke-JrI wonder if it's possible to tell the Z to use the 2 channels (stereo out) for mono in and mono out...
00:52.40caffinatedi did some quick looking around, they aparently map to different devices, and the mic is mono ...
00:52.45caffinatedyou might be on to something there
00:53.43caffinatedassuming 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
00:53.50Luke-JrWhere did you find that?
00:53.51*** join/#openzaurus synth (~cb@pcp838545pcs.venice01.fl.comcast.net)
00:54.01caffinatedLuke-Jr: just some random forum posts
00:54.14Luke-Jrwhere? I googled and didn't find anything like it o.o
00:55.37caffinatedbleh, i lost the link, hangon, i'll see if i can find it in my history
00:58.14Luke-Jrthx
00:58.20caffinatedhttp://www.kauss.org/Stephan/ziaxphone/index.html - noticed it there. looks like it's distro and hardware dependant
00:58.35caffinatednot a lot of info there, just noticed it in the comments
00:59.03Luke-JrI was just there... o.o
00:59.17Luke-Jrdon't see anything about it
00:59.34caffinatedright at the very top
00:59.47Luke-Jrthe /dev/dsp stuff? that's normal for most Linux-based OS...
00:59.51caffinatedhe mentions that old sharp versions used two devices
01:00.03Luke-Jractually, I think 5600 have a builtin mic
01:08.47caffinatedi 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 ;)
01:09.06caffinatedsince it's a commercial product, they'll probably answer in hopes of getting a sale
01:13.47caffinatedsent.  hopefully they'll get back to me - the app doesn't cost very much, and if it works, i might pick it up.
01:13.58caffinatedvoip sure would be nice

10:46.59RockClimberIs 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?
10:51.35dipnlik_RockClimber: proably yes, using samba.
10:51.54dipnlik_RockClimber: or even just with ssh, using WinSCP.
10:52.02hrw|workdipnlik_: usb mass storage
10:52.12hrw|workRockClimber: which Z you have?
10:52.29hrw|workbasically in OZ we dont have needed kernel modules (atleast for collie)
10:52.51dipnlik_hrw|work: sorry, what's the difference?
10:53.44dipnlik_where can i get a compatibility list for wi-fi cards?
10:53.54hrw|workdipnlik_: usb mass storage is like 'pendrive' - connect, grab files, disconnect
10:54.28hrw|workdipnlik_: no shit like "which driver I have to get to get Z connected over usb", "how to install samba on Z?" etc..
10:54.33hrw|workdipnlik_: at zug

10:54.37RockClimberhrw|work, Z 5500
10:55.32RockClimberbasically, 128mb data sticks are £11 from Amazon - trying to work out whether to get one, or just use my Z.
11:20.24RockClimberi think i'll get a datastick - they always come in useful
11:20.52RockClimberI could always take a linux distro on it, then I'll be able to NAT my Z anywhere
11:26.29RockClimberOn 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?
11:27.13RockClimberI though ipkgview was for the Familiar build of OE and therefore it would be confusing displaying Z and Familiar ipkgs
11:28.06dipnlik_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.
11:30.59RockClimberdoes anyone have a Z->USB cable? Does it have any fancy electronics in it?
11:32.07hrw|workRockClimber: only wires
11:32.23hrw|workRockClimber: atleast I make them with wires only
11:32.46Luke-Jrheh
11:33.19RockClimberhrw|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.
11:33.33Luke-Jrhrw|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 ;)
11:33.34RockClimberIs it possible to charge the Z with the USB power?
11:34.50RockClimberLuke-Jr, I wouldn't have thought you could, it might be a stereo socket, but there's only one GND
11:35.00Luke-JrRockClimber: you could probably at least slow the battery drain...
11:35.11hrw|workRockClimber: mic is on left channel
11:35.18hrw|workLuke-Jr: mic is on left channel
11:35.44Luke-Jrhrw|work: so I can just share the ground and split the left/right?
11:36.06hrw|workRockClimber: 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...
11:36.11hrw|workLuke-Jr: probably
11:36.44Luke-Jrthanks
11:36.53Luke-Jrthat's the one obstacle I had to using my Z as a cellphone
11:39.05Radiancewith a pcmcia card i take it ?
11:41.39Luke-JrPCMCIA?
11:41.43Luke-Jrhow and why?
11:42.58Luke-JrVoIP over PPP over SSH over TCP over IP over 802.11 o.o
11:43.55Radiancewell then it's not a real cellphone
11:44.03Radiancei thought you were talking about gsm tech

12:03.57hrwlardman: sure, why not
12:04.39lardmanhrw: Okay, I'll dig it out - it probably still has some lock-up issues
12:04.46lardmanwhen you switch back and forth
12:04.56lardmanbut it'll give people an option
12:05.15hrwdo you have opie-sh script to control network/storage switching maybe?
12:05.42lardmanI've just got two plain scripts: start_net.sh and start_storage.sh
12:06.04lardmanbut someone who knows opie-sh should be able to modify, etc. without any troubles

12:40.30RockClimberjust 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.
12:45.58RockClimberThere 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. By the time OZ 3.6 is ready we could have very good documentation - certainly better than Sharp provided in the manual.

12:54.35RockClimberI'm off home to find my Z and get it working. Then I've got to nip to France for a day or two, plenty of time to play with it. Shame I don't have a CF network card for it - anyone know where to get once in a hurry in the UK?
12:55.29lardmanRockClimber: I agree about the docs, it wouldn't take many people
12:55.56lardmanRockClimber: Dixons?
12:56.02RockClimberlardman, do you know the timescale for the next OZ releases?
12:56.10lardmanno idea
12:56.18lardmansorry
12:56.29hrwoz 3.5.3 was planned for cebit/2005 (march)
12:56.38RockClimberI think 3.5.3 is supposed to be soon (March?) but there is no update to the TODO for 3.6.0
12:56.43lardmanwas...?
12:58.23RockClimbertotally off topic, but does anyone like 24 (the TV series) - this site, http://www.24-handydiagrams.vze.com/, has some comedy diagrams explaining the plots
12:59.33lardmanRockClimber: I just had a quick look @ argos & pcworld and can't seem to find any wifi cf cards I'm afraid.
12:59.50flangemaplin maybe?
12:59.54flangealthough they are quite lame
13:00.01lardmanin a hurry though
13:00.04lardmanI thought
13:00.21lardmanAmazon might do next day if you're lucky
13:00.44lardmanebuyer have cheap stuff, but delivery is questionable
13:01.52RockClimberI mean ethernet not wifi
13:02.07RockClimberLike the Socket CF ethernet
13:02.17lardmanoh, sorry
13:02.30lardmanI got mine on ebay - they're still bloody expensive in the shops in the uk
13:02.48lardman(or they were - £90 - ouch!)

13:02.59flangethink i borrowed it from work tho
13:03.06lardman:-)
13:03.16RockClimberIt must be the low powered nature that makes them so expensive when wifi is so cheap
13:03.35RockClimberalthought the market of wifi CF is orders of magnitude greater

13:05.45lardmanRockClimber: So what about the docs then?
13:06.30lardmanI'm happy to contribute (or even better look over what others have written - I'm fairly busy atm), but don't have time to coordinate
13:07.15lardmanHas anyone added kino2 to OE?
13:07.22RockClimberlardman, I'm just e-mail the OZ site maintainers
13:10.24RockClimberWhat I'll do, is make up a template on my website, and recruit people to write the documents
13:10.42RockClimberThen when I have a few, I'll talk to OZ about hosting them, etc
13:10.44lardmanI had an email from Rich Simpson (the oz.org maintainer) telling me that once oe.org was back up he'd copy the install guides from there
13:11.05RockClimberI think they have, it's in DOCs on oz
13:11.08lardmanand fixing the install guides is very important
13:11.18lardmanthey're wrong
13:12.03lardman750 should have different instructions to 5600 (not sure about the 700, but I think it might be the same as the 5600)
13:12.15lardmandoes anyone know these things?
13:12.46lardmanI tell a lie, it's been changed
13:12.51lardmanI take it all back :-)
13:13.45lardmanRockClimber: So what do you propose? I can post in the thread I linked above asking people to select a topic and then write it and link to it in the thread, then they can be collated
13:16.02RockClimberlardman, I don't mind posting it, and I could start a new thread

14:46.49brimstonealso, i've found that the format option doesn't really format everything
14:47.15xfzethe img from 3.5.2 led me to blank screens
14:47.33brimstonethe best i can do is send you the md5sums of the files that i used
14:47.41xfzemy last reflashed used updater.sh and zImage from 3.5.2 and opie.img from 3.5.1

15:01.37FuchurHello. Is there a list of known bugs in OpenZaurus and where can I submit bugreports?
15:01.51xfzei'm gonna try a reflash now
15:02.42Fuchurxfze: I had problems to download big files from openzaurus.org, too.
15:02.57hrwFuchur: oz release notes, bugs.openembedded.org, opie bugtracker
15:03.00xfzefuchur,  http://bugs.openembedded.org/
15:03.31hrwFuchur: 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
15:03.31FuchurThanks
15:04.15xfzeis it "healthy" to format before the update?
15:04.27xfzeor it's better just to update?
15:05.41xfzewhat more get's deleted that it is not on update?
15:06.37Fuchurhrw: 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)
15:07.43hrwFuchur: collie with 32/32 kernel?
15:07.51Fuchurhrw: Yes

15:09.58RockClimbersome 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?
15:10.12hrwFuchur: so all is ok
15:10.54hrwFuchur: / 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)
15:12.20xfzehrw, does the / flash gets erased on update?
15:12.22Fuchurhrw: I'm understanding / and /mnt/ram/, but why doesn't /var/ show 32 MB with 16 MB used?
15:12.49hrwxfze: yes
15:12.58xfzethk u
15:13.16hrwFuchur: /var/ is configured to take up to half ram - so 16 on your collie
15:13.32xfzebooting 3.5.2 fingers crossed :D
15:13.54hrwbtw - newer opie doesnt show /var/ in settings/system info/storage
15:14.15xfzeopie in 5...
15:14.33xfzeit worked =)))))))))))))))
15:14.47Fuchurhrw: But where is the remaining RAM? 32 MB + 16 MB is 48 MB and not 64 ... *confused*
15:14.49hrwxfze: ;)
15:15.08hrwFuchur: 32/32 kernel == 32MB of RAM for storage, 32MB for RAM
15:15.14xfzeso simple and it didn't ocurred me... download corruption
15:15.18hrwso 16 = half of 32MB RAM
15:15.19Fuchurhrw: thats clear
15:15.59hrwFuchur: and?
15:16.46Fuchurhrw: 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?
15:17.34FuchurPerhaps I should inform me about what tmpfs does, first ...
15:17.48FuchurPerhaps that makes it clear to me ...
15:18.46hrwtmpfs is filesystem which use memory for temporary data - think about ramdisk in amigaos (if you used Amiga)
15:18.59hrwit can use only defined amount or ram
15:19.08Fuchurhrw: I *use* an Amiga :-) ...
15:19.57hrwFuchur: so tmpfs is RAM: and /mnt/ram/ is RAD:
15:20.00Fuchurhrw: OK, tmpfs uses 16 MB from the Storage-RAM, right?
15:20.10hrwFuchur: no - from memory-ram
15:20.31Fuchurhrw: Ah, OK.
15:23.07Fuchurhrw: I understand. And the 16 MB Flash are shown nowhere?
15:23.31hrwFuchur: its /
15:24.35xfzei had some trouble with package manager on opie 1.16
15:24.49xfzei hope now with 1.17 it's ok
15:25.02xfzeor else i will start using ipkg on the console
15:25.16xfze(the package manager kept freezing my Z)
15:25.37hrwxfze: add "upgrades" feed into config and install newer opie-packagemanager
15:26.11xfzeit's already there
15:26.21xfzeit came with 3.5.2 =)
15:26.30xfzeon 3.5.1 i defined the src

15:26.52xfzenow there's the upgrades base libs console and opie already there =)

15:27.28xfzehrw, is it ok to add /home to destinations?

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

18:23.47xfzeevery app i install on /home i'll have to set up the links in /opt/QtPalmtop manually
18:23.57xfzewell, at least it works, lol
18:24.12lardmanwhat's the problem with /home?
18:24.48lardmanI presume you're using the new ipkg-link
18:28.07xfzei'm using the GUI package manager
18:28.25xfzethe problem seems to be that it doesn't create the dirs
18:28.37xfzei was right now installing knights
18:29.31lardmanif you're using the normal ipkg-link it won't produce symlinks for unusual mount points (like /home)?
18:29.35xfzeand i could see that lone files (ie. /opt/QtPalmtop/bin/knights) are linked ok, but files wich need a dir to be created
18:29.39lardmanhmm, that wasn't a question
18:29.48xfzelike a /pics/ dir
18:30.01lardmanoh
18:30.22xfzei'm installing files to /home
18:30.34xfzebut those files need to have a link in /
18:30.38lardmanis this a recent build of OZ?
18:30.42xfze3.5.2
18:30.48lardmanno updates?
18:30.55xfzeall updated
18:31.04lardmanyou've added /home as a dest to /etc/ipkg.conf?
18:31.12xfze(from the 3.5.2 feed that is)
18:31.16lardmanby updates I meant directly from OE
18:31.16xfzeyes i did
18:31.33xfzei have a "dest ramdisk /home"
18:31.42lardmanif you try 'ipkg-link mount /home' from the command line, it won't work
18:31.53xfzeyes i realised that already :D
18:32.03lardmanyou need the new version of ipkg-link
18:32.07xfzeit says package not found
18:32.18xfzewhere can i find it?
18:32.20lardmanyes, 'cos the dests were hard-coded
18:32.27lardmanhang on a tick, I'll get a link
18:33.05xfzeso by updating ipkg-link the links will no be correctly created? no more need for manual links? thats excellent :D
18:33.12lardmanyes

18:36.07lardmanok, well it's a limited fix then
