09:53.44RockClimberIs it possible with the KDE PIM to Sync a Z with both a desktop and a mobile without one conflicting with the other
09:54.50XorARockClimber: it is with kdepimpi on Z, no idea about opie pim though
09:55.07XorARockClimber: but Ive never been down that path as I have no KDE
09:55.08RockClimberI'd be using kdepimpi
09:55.44RockClimberWell, I don't use KDE either, but I could probably write a script to turn my calendar/address book into KDE format
09:56.21XorARockClimber: well Ive had pimpi sync with two different machines
09:56.32XorARockClimber: I assume a phone is like a 3rd machine
09:56.36RockClimbershould be
09:57.07RockClimberSo you use KO/Pi and KA/Pi, what do you sync them withon the desktop?
09:57.14RockClimberIf you're not using KDE
09:58.18XorARockClimber: kdepimpi
09:58.48XorARockClimber: I tried an older version of Kitchensync on SuSe and had no luck
10:00.09XorARockClimber: Ill stress though, it is something I have done, not something I do regularly
10:00.58RockClimberI thought kdepimpi where just Z apps, I thought the desktop equivalents were kaddressbook and korganiser
10:01.13XorARockClimber: kdepimpi has windows and X11 qt versions
10:01.57RockClimberis there much difference between the kdepimpi and full blown kde apps then?
10:02.24XorARockClimber: no idea, never used KDE versions
10:02.33XorARockClimber: KDE eats machines :-(
10:03.17RockClimberdo you have a mail app on your Z
10:03.28hrw|workRockClimber: I use kdepimpi on Z and kde on desktop
10:03.43hrw|workRockClimber: currently not syncing them
10:03.46RockClimberDoes KA/Pi work with Opiemail
10:03.53hrw|workRockClimber: no
10:04.21RockClimberAnd KOM/Pi doesn't build for OZ as it conflicts with Opiemail
10:05.09hrw|worknot with opiemail
10:05.20hrw|workbut with OE libetpan and OPIE libmailwrapper
10:05.37XorAhrw|work: kdepimpi has hacked libetpan?
10:05.43hrw|workboth
10:05.59hrw|workkdepimpi has hacked: kdepim, libetpan, libmailwrapper, opie-mail
10:06.04hrw|workand gammu
10:06.36RockClimberI don't see why they needed to fork gammu->kammu, now they'll be forever porting changes
10:06.52XorAI dont see why etpan needed forked!
10:07.10RockClimberWhat is etpan?
10:07.19XorARockClimber: universal mail access library
10:07.32XorARockClimber: abstracts Maildir/mbox/mh/imap/opo3
10:07.42RockClimberso if opie-mail isn't installed, kopiemail can be
10:08.02hrw|workRockClimber: kopiemail cannot be build
10:08.19RockClimbereven if opie mail isn't built
10:09.26hrw|workopie apps have higher priority in OE
10:10.11RockClimbercouldn't the kdepim.bb build the hacked libs into a kdepimlib.ipk that conflicted with libmail and libetpan.

10:10.27hrw|workthey conflict on BUILD time
10:10.27XorAI can see where Zautrix is going, but he is going the wrong way, the features he wants should be added to opie-mail, not forked
10:10.39*** join/#openzaurus Trog|odyt (user@64x247x156x50.arctic.ca)
10:11.14RockClimbermaybe someone could add KA/Pi support to Opiemail temporarily
10:15.52hrw|workfor?
10:16.37RockClimberwell otherwise you need two copies of your address book
10:16.56RockClimberone for syncing with desktop and phone, and one for sending e-mails from opiemail
10:19.05RockClimberopiemail also doesn't work if you use the sql backend for opie-addressbook
10:22.34hrw|workreport it etc..
10:24.32RockClimberIt was reported last Decemeber, I've not checked it out recently, I'm just suprise the OPIE Pim have priority when a lot of OE developers seem to be using KDE Pim
10:26.49hrw|workopie as whole has a priority
10:27.45hrw|workfeel free to take kdepimpi from me and fix it's build method to get its fork of opiemail build in OE

11:00.27hrw|workRockClimber: currently it fails to build
11:01.11RockClimberokay
11:02.06RockClimberonce i build an opie-image (currently my Z is useless as I forced an upgrade of libqte2 and not enough other things, so Opie doesn't work) I'll give it a go

14:04.16StarScreemwhich hopefully means i can syc my zaurus with kde
14:04.54StarScreembut OZ 3.5.2 doesn't let me use my mobile phone with it and some other general stuff is slightly broken
14:05.37StarScreemrunning the Sharp 3.0.1 rom atm but that doesn't sync either
14:07.10hrw|workStarScreem: did you report those bugs or even checked does they were reported?
14:09.53RockClimberWhen building opie-image how do you specify which RAM split. I thought bitbake opie-image would give me all 7 zImages but I just get 1 and no indication of which it is.
14:10.02RockClimberBuild for collie by the way
14:10.35hrw|workRockClimber: build collie-kernel-all
14:12.18RockClimberhow about for a n/m split?
14:13.44hrw|workit will build all splits

14:19.26RockClimberStarScreem, what app
14:19.34RockClimberare you talking about beaming in Opie
14:21.35hrw|workStarScreem: if noone bother with reorting bugs then bugs will stay then users will complain after next release. but they wont report them to be able to complain after each another release
14:33.06RockClimberBitbaking all those zImages is taking time, anyway to identify what this "zImage-collie-20050303092048.bin" from the name? apart from 2005-03-03 being the date, 092048 isn't the time.
14:33.21hrw|work092048 is a time
14:33.30hrw|workafaik
14:36.03RockClimberOh I see, contrary to what someone else told be, bitbake opie-image doesn't make you a zImage file too, you have to do that separately
14:37.14RockClimberso that zImage is left over from something I made this morning

15:57.53RockClimberI was quite impressed when I plugged my g/f mp3 player into a new FC3 box. Auto mouted and an ipod icon appeared (mp3 player is usb mass storage so Linux compat). Repeated with USB data stick and this time got a small harddrive icon. Very polished

16:01.57RockClimberwell, I guess the hotplug script was matching the icon to something in the device ID string
16:02.20RockClimberI thought it looked nice, which was important as it was my Mum's brand new computer and her first forray into Linux
16:02.47kollayou can partly blame that on udev
16:03.46kollabut I still find it quite amusing that people gets impressed by these things that we took for granted 15-20 years ago
16:04.27XorAkolla: even cooler with the amiga was the file system is on the drive, so you dont need to install it :-)
16:05.06kollaXorA: well, that kicks both ways.. filesystem _could_ be on the drive, but it also could be on some other drive :)

16:43.15hrw|workwhat for? cannot you install what you want?
16:43.31blatwell it takes quite a lot of time and i thought someone might have convenialized the process with some bulk packages
16:44.19blatunrelated question, has anyone had success/failure running gpe and opie side by side on different vts
16:47.11XorAblat: I have run it successfully with swapfile
16:47.48blati don't know this technique... :(
16:48.16XorAblat: reseasrch swapfiles for linux on google, its quite simple
16:48.42XorAblat: All I did was start with opie image, then install task-gpe-base (or something similar to that) using ipkg
16:48.53XorAbut memory was short so I used a swapfile
16:49.26blatah
16:49.50blatmay you also use a x-0 zImage? (no storage, all ram)
16:50.30XorAblat I have C860 with 64Meg ram, but when running firefox thats 30ish meg, and opie is 30ish meg
16:50.45blatof course swap file on sd/cf i think is ill advised, because of the much lower durability of memory retention that i hear, compared to internal ram of the zaurus
16:51.25blatand if u have swap file on the internal ram storage partition, maybe reflash with full ram :)
16:51.26XorAblat: By the time your SD is worn out, the one 4 times the size will be half the rpice
16:51.37blatfair enough, just backup sensitive data then :)
16:52.03blatof course moores law is about to hit a brick wall, in the physical meaning of the sense :)
16:52.08blator whatever Planck meant...
16:52.35XorAblat: flash isnt goverened by that though :-) and with NRAM coming on the market a whole new series is about to start
16:53.23blata scalable flash, as you say 4 times the size and half the price, is indeed governed by that.  by the time you have 10 gig flashes, you will have enough electron leackage to make it wholly unstable
16:53.39blata different form factor might solve the problem, but of course it will be incompatible with the current zaurus! :)
16:54.00XorAanyway time to scoot
16:55.45blatare there openzaurus initrds with lots of stuff pre-installed out there? or some other way to easily pre-install lots of stuff without having to get each package separately? it takes quite a lot of time to install each pkg separately, and i thought someone might have convenialized the process with some bulk packages
