01:47.30blitzragehas anyone else noticed that once you suspend in 3.5.3-pre that you can't recover it?

02:14.18blitzrageghotiboy1: did you say earlier that your Z won't wakeup after it goes into suspend?
02:27.42Cwiiisblitzrage: Fixed earlier today (well, worked around, not truly fixed yet)
02:28.23Cwiiisblitzrage: remove /dev/apm_bios from /etc/device_table and restart
02:29.02blitzrageCwiiis: awesome, thanks!
02:29.19Cwiiis(not the fix that's in oe btw, but the easiest way of fixing it)
02:29.26blitzragecoolness
02:29.29blitzragewill give that a shot

02:35.42blitzrageCwiiis: is there an application such as slocate that I can use to search the filesystem?
02:35.53blitzrageI didn't see slocate, so I assume it doesn't exist :)

03:05.38blitzrageI'm trying to debug why a program isn't loading, and when I run the .sh script for the program from the console, the application doesn't have an OK button, but when I run it from the GUI via the link, it shows the OK
03:06.31blitzrageactually, the program loads, but has I move through the menus it crashes.

10:00.00Radiancehmm i must say that going for opie was a perfect choice, i tried gpe before this and it was unstable as hell, not work-able
10:00.17Radiancebut opie really works stable

11:40.38CwiiisRadiance: Gpe will be a lot better in 3.5.3, I suggest you give it another try :) (Admittedly, application availability is and will be much higher with Opie for a while though)

11:50.50RadianceCwiiis, well, what makes GPE better than Opie ? hehe
11:51.46CwiiisRadiance: X and gtk2 make it a lot easier to port desktop applications over and leave it with far more opportunities (imo) - It helps that it looks an awful lot nicer too :)
11:51.56CwiiisAlso, minimo is a much better browser than konqueror-embedded now
11:51.58Radiancei mean, it's linux, so basically there is no difference, but if you go a layer up and compare gpe and opie ... i notice opie is solid and stable, doesn't crash apps which crash with gpe
11:52.42CwiiisI've not had any apps crash in gpe for a long time - And on the contrary, I've had apps crash with Opie (the package manager seems to do it all the time... Admittedly, gpe doesn't have a workable package manager at the moment, but it doesn't crash :))
11:53.18RadianceCwiiis, but still, what is the big advantage over opie ? (i'm not a programmer or so heh)
11:53.38Radianceis it that gpe can look fancier than opie ? heh
11:54.20CwiiisRadiance: I guess if you're not into programming or porting applications, the only advantage is that it looks fancier and it has minimo
11:54.32Radianceah okay
11:54.48Radiancebut if you're a programmer, what is the big advantage ?
11:54.54CwiiisX11 and gtk2 :)
11:55.28Radianceokay, that's true
11:55.41Radiancebut on the commandline it's equal in every way hehe
11:56.06Radiancehmm
11:56.19Radiancewell, eitherway, what do you expect in the nearby future ?
11:56.25Radianceopie & gpe will live together ? hehe
11:56.49CwiiisInput, for the most part, is nicer in GPE too - Nicer keyboard (imo) and xstroke (full-screen character recognition, a la graffiti)
11:57.14CwiiisYes, gpe isn't gonna overtake opie, features-wise, anytime soon I don't hink :) They'll happy live alongside each other
11:57.27Radianceah ok heh
11:57.41CwiiisI have high hopes for Opie with qte4
11:57.47Radiancei tried char-recog in gpe but it's not workable
11:57.59Radianceopie is based on Qt right ?
11:58.25CwiiisWhat was the last version you tried it in? It's definitely improved in the last couple of versions
11:58.28CwiiisQt/e, yeah
11:59.18Radianceand Qt/e vs GTK ? what's your opinion about that ? heh
11:59.32Radiance3.5.2 with gpe and now 3.5.2 with opie
12:02.10CwiiisI'm not a fan of Qt, I don't like the API - I guess it comes down to whether you prefer C or C++ (I prefer the former) - Speed wise, I don't really know... Qt/e certainly uses less memory... But Gtk uses nicer technology :) (3.5.3 has sub-pixel anti-aliasing enabled in fontconfig, by default, for example - I don't think you can do that with Qt/e fonts)
12:02.34CwiiisIf you're flashing 3.5.3 anyway, I say give gpe a try, you might like it :) If not, no biggie :)
12:04.32Radiancehehe ok
12:04.46Radianceand this subpixel-anti-aliasing ... what does it do ?
12:04.53Radiancemake things look alot better ?
12:04.59Radianceor just a bit better ?
12:05.29CwiiisMakes fonts look a lot clearer and better
12:05.52Radiancebut like in the terminal or just overall ?
12:05.57CwiiisEverywhere :)
12:06.22Radiancebut they're clear enough for me, i mean, it can't get better than what i see is my first thought hehe
12:06.25Cwiiisare you using a tft or a crt screen at the moment?
12:06.38Radianceon my workstation i use a tft
12:06.48CwiiisIs it Windows or Linux?
12:06.51Radiancelinux
12:07.01Radiancegnome :)
12:07.33Cwiiisin which case, go into the gnome fonts preferences, and look at sub-pixel anti-aliasing there - You'll see the difference :) Then think of it on a smaller screen :)

12:08.33Cwiiishttp://handhelds.org/~florian/gallery/view_photo.php?set_albumName=Applications&id=port_11156 - There's a nice example of gpe input being good :)
12:09.51Cwiiisgpe-filemanager is nice too - it uses gnome-vfs, so you can browse samba shares, over ssh, etc.
12:10.28_FuF_does anyone know, where I can get a newer gpsd ipkg than v1.1?
12:10.34Radiancewell, i enabled subpix-a-a, but i don't see the difference ... really
12:11.28CwiiisRadiance: It'll only take place on newly loaded applications
12:11.36Radiancei reloaded mozilla
12:12.03CwiiisMaybe an old version of fontconfig? The difference is huge on my laptop and pda :) Try it out with gpe :)
12:12.39Radiancethis is gnome 2.4
12:12.43Radiancedebian
12:13.01Radiancewell, i'll try it out when i get back on the laptop
12:13.06Radiancei think that would make a difference
12:13.23Radiancebut all with all, it's not a biggy for reading and such ?
12:13.28Radianceon the Z
12:13.32CwiiisI used to run debian unstable on my laptop, and it definitely used to make a difference
12:13.48CwiiisRadiance: It just makes things a bit more pleasant overall - not a huge difference, but certainly noticeable
12:14.03Radiancelike with pdf reading ?
12:14.40Radiance( on the Z)
12:15.19Radiancei must go now, but i'll try it on my laptop and see, if it makes a big difference then it's indeed something i'd consider too when choosing between gpe and opie
12:15.31Radiancebut eitherway, one can do his/her work on both hehe
12:17.03Radiancethanks for the advise
12:17.36Cwiiisnp :) I hope you pick gpe and help us make it better :) hehe

12:30.07lardmanQuick random question - opie-calc used to do conversions didn't it, or is that something else?
12:30.07lardmanThere's a drop downlist box which says standard, but it can't be changed to anything (like scientific I suppose). Is this normal?

13:07.29lardmanI thought there used to be a page on the oe wiki about building ipks for OZ?
13:07.44lardmanReading ZUG I see that the control file format seems to have changed?
13:08.29Cwiiislardman: If you install ipkg on your PC, there's a tool to create ipks
13:08.44lardmaninstall ipkg? where from?
13:10.00Cwiiiscvs.handhelds.org
13:10.06Cwiiis(familiar/dist/ipkg)
13:10.21lardmancool, thanks
13:10.52CwiiisOddly, every time I've tried to create them manually, they've never worked, even if I appear to be following the exact same steps as the tools do :p
13:12.29lardmanInteresting :-). I just wanted to point someone in the right direction, then I realised things had changed

21:39.16CoreDump|homeW8TVI: AFAIK yes
21:39.25CoreDump|homewell, no
21:39.37CoreDump|homethere are keyboard combinations

21:42.56W8TVImy zaurus is the 5500
21:43.13W8TVIand a 5000d
21:43.37W8TVIhmmm...
21:43.53W8TVIit only seems to work when your not in the middle of a command
21:44.14W8TVIok, it does work...
21:44.43W8TVIthat was weird.  I was in the middle of typing a long command and it wouldn't change VTs
