03:00.43Cwiiiskaplanfx: You wouldn't want to (flash is very slow to write to)
03:04.52kaplanfxCwiiis: well I want the sd on /home or whatever
03:04.59kaplanfxso I have 64MB system ram on collie
03:06.22Cwiiiskaplanfx: Unless you have a ram disk partition, you always have 64 megs of ram on collie
03:06.30CwiiisWherever /home is
03:06.41CwiiisIt's decided by what kernel you use
03:07.20kaplanfxCwiiis: what is the 64-0 zImage then vs say the 32-32 zImage?
03:07.46kaplanfxone provides more ram correct?
03:07.49Cwiiis64 megs of system ram, 0 megs of ram used as ram-disk vs. 32 megs of system ram, 32 megs of ram used as ram-disk
03:07.54silent_runneranyone know there way round the D+M menu ?
03:08.17kaplanfxCwiiis: so if I use 64-0 im going to need some kind of external storage right
03:08.18kaplanfx?
03:08.42Cwiiiskaplanfx: Yes, or to not install any new applications/replace default applications
03:09.12kaplanfxCwiiis: so whats the best thing to do, I want 64 megs ram for sure
03:09.25kaplanfxI have a 256MB sd card here formatted ext2
03:09.31CwiiisThe only way to have 64 megs of ram is to use the 64-0 kernel
03:09.38kaplanfxthats what im doing
03:09.42kaplanfxim about to flash it now
03:09.49CwiiisI'd suggest installing any new apps to your sd card then
03:10.07CwiiisMoving /home to sd means that all your settings and data and such will be persistent between flashes, which is useful
03:10.10kaplanfxI've noticed some apps disagree with that
03:10.17CwiiisAlso stops your root from getting clogged up
03:10.26kaplanfxusing ipkg to install to sd
03:10.35kaplanfxsome apps only want to be in /
03:10.38CwiiisIf you have an ext formatted sd card and you make sure to ipkg-link everything you install, there should be no problems
03:10.51kaplanfxipkg-link?

09:15.19aquariusin oz3.5.3, python-gtk seems to depend on glib-2.0-dev, which doesn't exist afaict; am I looking in the wrong places? Where should I be looking?
09:23.07[cc]smartwhen installing opie-reader , it seems linking tries just the filenames as source, instead of full path. so linking fails
09:29.05aquarius[cc]smart, sorry? not sure what you mean there

09:58.44aquarius[cc]smart, no, I was trying to help you, but I'm not sure what you meant by "linking fails" :)
10:27.10TimelordIs my rather poor experience (broken featues, crashy as hell, oddities) with OZ on a SL-6000 more or less common?
10:29.12aquariusDon't know, I'm afraid...my 5000D seems to work fine, but I don't know anything about 6000s....
10:45.43Cwiiiskaplanfx: Did you not follow the link on that page...?
10:46.23CwiiisTimelord: 6000 support is quite new I'm afraid - Donate one to a developer and you'll speed up the process :)
10:47.51TimelordI spent all my money on the 6000.  At current rate of income vs bills... I may have to sell the 6000 anyways. :P

11:09.09aquariusI've just tidied up the collie install instructions on the website (http://openzaurus.org/wordpress/installation/sl-50005500/) -- anyone see anything I've missed?
11:12.58aquariusIs there any reason why the "downloads" link shouldn't point directly to the latest release (3.5.3) rather than letting people see 3.5.1, 3.5.2, and 3.5.3?
11:13.20Cwiiisaquarius: Because people might want to use other releases?
11:13.41aquariusCwiiis, that's what I meant...does anyone want to? Surely 3.5.3 is better? :-)
11:14.24aquariusor is there some stuff which worked in 3.5.2 but doesn't in 3.5.3?
11:16.00Cwiiisaquarius: GPE stands for GNU Palmtop Environment I think, but hey, I'm probably wrong :p
11:16.06Cwiiisaquarius: I don't know, maybe :)
11:16.11*** join/#openzaurus Timelord (~TL@64-147-65-129.access-4.intertex.net)
11:16.59lardmanMakes it a bit more generic if it points to the parent dir - it won't have top be changed for the next release
11:17.07aquariushum! it doesn't give the acronym's expansion on gpe.handhelds.org
11:17.11lardmans/top/to
11:17.15aquariusunless it stands for "GPE Palmtop Environment" :)
11:17.22lardmanask in #gpe
11:17.32lardmanI think it is GPE Palmtop ...
11:18.17aquariussomeone needs a slapping if it is :-)
11:18.29lardmanwhy?
11:18.40lardmansame as gnu
11:19.06aquariusRMS has done many fine things, but foisting recursive acronyms on the world wasn't one of them :)
11:19.29lardmanfair enough :)
11:20.30aquariuslardman, I see your point on genericness, so it doesn't need updating...this is possibly a cause for a "latest" symlink which gets updated with each release?
11:20.55*** join/#openzaurus oob (~oob@222-152-113-225.adsl.ihug.co.nz)
11:21.19aquariusIt stands for GPE Palmtop Environment. I hate everything :)
11:21.48lardmanwrt latest symlink, yes this sounds like a good idea
11:22.51aquariusjust because the docs have to say "go to the downloads link and then into "sl5000,sl5500"", and are obliged to miss out the "go into 3.5.3 first" step (so they don't need updating next time).
11:24.04aquariusI can't update the install docs for other models because I don't know anything about them, I'm afraid.
11:24.41lardmanI'll have another look next week - c7x0 should be about right, if a bit messy
11:27.43aquariusxtscal complains "Can't open XFT font" when I run it (on a bootstrap-image Z with xserver-kdrive-fbdev installed). What does it need to get that font?
11:29.09aquariuslibxft2 is installed, as is libfreetype6. Does it need some actual fonts installed? I don't know which one it might be looking for.
11:30.13lardmanno idea, does it cause a problem, or is it just an informative error message
11:30.24aquariusproblem: xtscal won't start.
11:30.30lardmanah
11:30.37lardmanI don't know, sorry
11:30.42lardmangotta go, good luck
11:36.19Cwiiisaquarius: Maybe you want to add a note that flashing power/mail light indicate an error when flashing
11:37.26aquariusOK...what might the error be?
11:37.44aquariusjust because I don't want to put "if they flash something is wrong" and not give any suggestions :)
11:40.53CwiiisUnsupported flash card, possibly
11:41.15CwiiisIt's pretty vague - it just means 'Doesn't work, you've done something wrong or I don't like this flash card' usually :p
11:41.22Cwiiis'Failure', I guess
11:42.39aquariusok, updated
11:43.58Cwiiisaquarius: Good stuff :) What xft issue?
11:44.19aquariusxtscal won't start; it just says "Can't open XFT font".
11:44.37aquariusThis is a bootstrap-image flashed 5000D with xserver-kdrive-fbdev installed.
11:45.01aquariuslibxft2 and libfreetype6 and libfontconfig1 are also installed; is it looking for a particular font?
11:47.52aquariusI thought it might be looking for "fixed", but I can't find that in any packages anyway :)
11:48.59aquariusah, found it
11:48.59Cwiiisaquarius: You need to install the vera fonts package probably
11:49.11aquariusoops, not found that, wrong window.
11:50.56aquariuswtf does it depend on loads of usb stuff?
11:54.58aquariushm. it needs fc-cache, which is in libfontconfig-utils, but doesn't depend on it. SHould that be filed as a bug somewhere?
11:55.20Cwiiisaquarius: Yes, probably
11:55.32aquariusI'll do it if you tell me where.:)
11:55.39CwiiisWhat package needs what exactly? I can add it if you're 100% sure
11:56.12aquariusttf-bitstream-vera has the postinst fail: "/usr/lib/ipkg/info/ttf-bitstream-vera.postinst: 2: fc-cache: not found". fc-cache is in libfontconfig-utils, which was not installed.
11:56.25aquariusI'm just testing that I'm right, so don't add it just yet :)
11:56.42Cwiiisk :)
11:57.30aquariusOK, now that I've installed libfontconfig-utils, the postinst does not fail.
11:57.40aquariusso that's a dependency bug,
11:57.55aquariusWhile you're in there, why does ttf-bitstream-vera depend on loads of usb things?
11:58.06aquariusRecommends: kernel-module-usbdserial, kernel-module-usbkbd, kernel-module-usbmouse, kernel-module-hid, usbutils, kernel-module-evdev
11:58.17aquariusit's a font, it doesn't need usbutils ;)
12:05.07aquariusanyway, installing the font fixed the xtscal problem, so thanks for that!
12:06.58[cc]smartaquarius: ah, sorry for the delay... was away... and thanks for your offer
12:07.14[cc]smartregarding linking fails:
12:07.29Cwiiisaquarius: I'll have a look
12:07.41[cc]smartit's about installing the package in openzaurus using the package manager
12:08.10[cc]smartthere are the different installation stages
12:08.19[cc]smartdownload, writing files, configuring
12:08.45aquariusah, "linking" as in "adding symlinks for a package when you install it on a cf/sd card"?
12:08.48[cc]smartwhen installing off root, that is on sd in my case
12:08.50*** join/#openzaurus dhr (~hugh@CPE00606767ed59-CM000f9fa81660.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com)
12:08.57[cc]smartit links the files into root
12:09.03[cc]smartyes
12:09.16[cc]smartas in adding symlinks
12:09.17aquariusI don't know much about that, I'm afraid. I know it does it, but it causes me problems all the time, so I avoid doing it whenever I can :)
12:09.29Cwiiisaquarius: It should depend on lots of usb things, I'm guessing that's a packaging bug - I've added libfontconfig-utils, thanks for spotting
12:09.34[cc]smarti had o issues this time except for this one package
12:10.02[cc]smartthe problem is more or less obvious on this one, which is that the linking souce is given as simple filename without path
12:11.45aquariushm. where is the symbol initQCop defined? python-pygame doesn't work because that's an undefined symbol...
12:11.58Cwiiisaquarius: What's your full name? (so I can credit you in the revision details)
12:12.03[cc]smarti ave seen a package for gaim with a prefix in the package list, now i can't find it again... does sbdy know it by chance ?
12:14.12aquariusCwiiis, Stuart Langridge
12:15.12Cwiiisaquarius: I recognise that name.... Probably from OZ forums or something :) Anyway, pushing the change now
12:15.16aquariusipkg list | grep gaim
12:15.34Cwiiis[cc]smart: qpe-gaim
12:15.42aquarius[cc]smart, there's "gaim" (which will be a GPE app) and qpe-gaim, which will be for Opie.

12:17.27blitzrageI have an SL-5500 with 3.5.3, and I tried konqueror, but it keeps crashing on load. So I installed the sharp-compat-libs and Opera, and it loads fine, but it SegFaults a lot. Apparently someone made a package for 7.55 of Opera on the forums, but the link is gone. Does anyone either have a copy of the newer Opera which is supposed to fix the segfaulting problem, or any suggestions for another browser?
12:17.29gshi
12:18.25gsblitzrage, how to install opera?
12:19.11blitzragegs: install sharp-compat-libs, setup the zaurususersgroup.org feed, and there might have been a couple of other deps that I'm forgetting.
12:19.28blitzragegs: I can't get 7.30 to work reliably unfortunately
12:19.49gsops
12:21.42[cc]smartaquarius: thanks
12:22.07gsblitzrage, where is the package for install and check

12:28.08blitzragegs: you just need to: ipkg install -d ram opera
12:28.14blitzragegs: AFTER you install the ZUG feed
12:29.04gstell me how to install zaurususergroup feed

12:34.57blitzragebut don't install via the GUI, it probably won't work
12:35.04blitzrageto install packages, this is what I do:
12:35.05gsblitzrage, can u tell me what line of zaurususergroup do u have on /etc/ipkg.conf?
12:35.21blitzragegs: you have to add the zug/feed/, thats really all you need to know
12:35.32blitzragegs: add it via the package manager GUI, its easier
12:35.41blitzragethen install packages from the console
12:35.41gsno gui manager
12:35.47blitzragewhat are you using?
12:35.50gsonly tellme a line
12:36.10gsi'm into the Z on ssh

12:54.13blitzragegs: there was a thread on zug to fix that. I forget what I did now, but there was some other package I needed I think. Just do a search for that error on google and you'll find the thread
12:54.32Ro8ertgs, you need to set Opera to use the sharp-compat libs
12:54.49gsi install sharp-compat-libs
12:55.00blitzrageoh yah, need to run the makecompat program
12:55.06Ro8ertyeah, thats the one
12:55.23blitzragethe info is on that one thread on zug, it was really good
12:55.30blitzragedamn..... kismet is taking forever to install! :)
12:56.02blitzrageRo8ert: what do you use for a web browser?
12:56.30Ro8ertMainly Opera 6, I could never get 7.x to stop segfaulting all the time
12:56.46Ro8ertand konqueror never seemed to be up to the job somehow...
12:56.55blitzrageRo8ert: yah, me either. Do you have a copy of it that will run on 3.5.3?
12:57.12Ro8ertWhat?  Opera 6?
12:57.17blitzrageyah
12:57.44Ro8ertI probably have and ipk somewhere but I've not tried in on 3.5.3 yet
12:58.02blitzrageahhh gotcha
12:58.36Ro8ertmy last 3.5.3 build had loads of more serious problems like the "off" button just cause the whole machine to hang :-(
12:59.06blitzragei think that got fixed... at least on the 5500
12:59.16Ro8ertwhat was the fix?
12:59.42blitzrageare you talking about the suspend not resuming?
12:59.51blitzrageor just hanging when you hit the Cancel button?
13:00.13Ro8ertyeah.  suspend not resuming when you suspend using Cancel
13:00.22blitzrageyah, thats fine now
13:00.31Ro8ertdid they update the image for download?
13:00.35blitzrageyep
13:00.45blitzragefull 3.5.3 is out now
13:01.16Ro8ertah ,thats good.  I'm trying to rebuild 3.5.3 using oe at the minute because I don't want soft-float as it breaks hancom sheet
13:01.21gsERROR: Cannot satisfy the following dependencies for konqueror-embedded:

13:01.48blitzragei'm not sure there is a browser that works for 3.5.3
13:02.27Ro8ertgs, I'd try just forcing that depend with --force-depends(?)
13:02.44Ro8ertdoesn't opera work using sharp compat?
13:02.54blitzragei did no deps, but konq is not stable for me
13:03.10blitzragenot that opera is much better :)

13:06.02blitzragedamn, no pdf reader for opie eh?
13:07.09Ro8ertdoesn't qpdf2 work?
13:07.34blitzragedoesn't install for me, let me try again and find out what the error is
13:09.05blitzrageheh, needs gpe-base :)
13:09.16Ro8ertdoh!
13:09.18blitzrageso guess it only work son gpe?
13:10.19Ro8ertaccording the the .bb file "QPDF2 is a Viewer for PDF documents. An unnecessary fork based on opie-qpdf." and I'd have thought was opie since its SECTION = "opie/applications".  but what do I know??
13:10.41blitzrageand wellenreiter doesn work for me either anymore. Once I run the sniff, it gives me the error, "The wireless extension verisons do not match!  Wellenreither II WEv17, Interface driver: WEv16
13:11.05Ro8ertyeah, someone said that wellenreiter is broken in 3.5.3 until someone fixes it!
13:11.37blitzrageRo8ert: the only reason I knew it wouldn't work is because I saw a post by mickeyl stating opie has no PDF reader... which sucks because I wanted to read a book on the plane

13:17.12notasnarkI'm guessing different installs have different default packages, since I also have Konqueror as part of the base install (qt), and yet someone was complaining on the list about not being able to get it installed.
13:17.46blitzrageyep, didn't work well for me, but i could get it installed with some effort :)
13:18.01Ro8ertPackages depend on what will fit on the internal flash.
13:18.32blitzragemakes sense, since / s near maxed on my 5500 :)
13:19.08Ro8ertsame here :-(   Oh for a clamshell Zaurus!
13:19.12notasnarkI figured as much. 3.5.2 came with very little as standard though, even on C860. Very pleased that I don't need to mess around installing basic stuff for 3.5.3.

16:43.32adamhWoo :)
16:44.02lardmanI've using GXine - it sounds good too
16:44.41lardmanI never had problems with xmms on 3.5.2 strangely enough (except that it couldn't handle vbr songs iirc)

16:46.09xiaowenFor SL-6000, if I can get a USB cable that connects it directly to a Linux box, how do I make one appear to the other as a mass storage device?
16:47.29lardmanxiaowen: have you got the storage_fd.o module on your Z?
16:48.44xiaowenI'm not sure.
16:48.57xiaowenI tried to modprobe it and got an insmod error.
16:49.12xiaoweninsmod: init_module: storage_fd: Invalid argument
16:49.51lardmanyep, well at least it exists
16:50.08lardmanhang on and I'll find a script for you
16:50.39xiaowenThanks.
16:51.12xiaowen(P.S. I thought 3.5.3 came with a 2.6 kernel, but apparently not.)
16:51.25lardmanfor the 6000 it's still wip
16:51.47xiaowenWhat's "wip"?
16:52.06lardmanwork in progress - probably not a standard acronym for IRC
16:52.17xiaowenOh OK, the release notes says 2.6.11 for C7x0.
16:52.20xiaowenOK.
16:53.00lardmanhttp://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=1485&st=45
16:53.11lardmanscroll down to my first post
16:53.30lardmanalter the script though, as you need to use pxa_bi, rather than sa1100_bi
16:53.56B0Tican the C860 also work as a usb storage device?
16:54.03lardmanyes
16:54.12lardmanall Zaurii can
16:54.18B0Ticool
16:54.46xiaowenThanks lardman, let me try loading those modules.
16:54.57lardmanok, let me know how it goes
16:56.48xiaowenUh oh, I got a segmentation fault on rmmod pxa_bi.
16:57.10lardmanhmm
16:57.17lardmanI don't know
16:57.22lardmanwhat does lsmod show anyway?
16:57.30xiaowenlsmod shows it, then shows "(deleted)" next to it.
16:57.40B0Tidamn, I just fsckd up my OZ 3.5.3. Forgot to add noauto to the nfs mount in fstab, and now it hangs at boot at mountnfs.sh. Is there a rescue mode?
16:57.43lardmanhmm
16:58.10xiaowenTime for a reboot and retry? :)
16:58.21lardmanxiaowen: might be
16:58.26B0Tixiaowen: did you check dmesg?
16:58.37lardmanBOTi: can you not connect to the nfs atm
16:58.52xiaowenB0Ti: Nope, too late.
16:59.24B0Tilardman: my nfs server is up, but the network on the Z is not, because I can't ping it.
16:59.33lardmanI see
17:00.18lardmannot sure about where to go from there I'm afraid
17:01.26lardmanIs it possible to get a console login using the maintenance keypress?
17:01.43B0TiI have a cacko rom on a CF card that has a rescue mode, I'll try that maybe.
17:02.05B0Tiwhat is the maintenance keypress?
17:02.05xiaowenOK, I was able to remove it after a reboot.
17:02.29xiaowenI still can't remove usbcore because it says it's being used, though I can't figure out what's using it.
17:02.37lardmanBOTi: some kind of diagnostics you can bring up - I don't know whether it'll boot a kernel too (like what happens when you flash)
17:02.58lardmanBOTi: using the cacko updater.sh might be easier actually, unless anyone else has any suggestions?
17:03.26lardmanhave you removed net_fd?
17:03.40lardmanthat was to xiaowen
17:03.53xiaowenI think you have something there for B0Ti.  I remember being able to get a console using the procedure to flash ...
17:04.05xiaowenBut that was with 3.5.2, haven't tried with 3.5.3.
17:04.55xiaowenlardman: Yes, and I left usbcore there, modprobed net_fd, then pxa_bi like in your first script ...
17:05.51lardmannet_fd xiaowen: does the normal network stuff, storage_fd does the mass storage stuff (second script)
17:06.01lardmanoops bit of a typo
17:06.18xiaowenOh, I bet I couldn't remove it because usbdevfs was mounted on /proc/bus/usb.
17:06.39xiaowenOK lardman.  So I can get the first script to work sorta, let me try the second. :)
17:07.05B0Tiodd thing is it hangs at mountall.sh for a minute (probably till the nfs timeout) than at mountnfs.sh it hangs forever.
17:07.12xiaowenShould I umount usbdevfs?
17:08.04xiaowenUh oh, segmentation fault again when I try to rmmod pxa_bi.
17:08.23B0Tibut mountall is called before networking, so it should not attempt to mount nfs. bug spotted ;)
17:08.30lardmanxiaowen: I've not tried the storage script in 3.5.2
17:08.46CoreDump|homesomeone should write an opie-sh GUI for it ;)
17:08.50lardmanxiaowen: see if you can rmmod net_fd, then insmod storage_fd - see what happens
17:08.51xiaowen<PROTECTED>
17:09.11xiaowenOK, so I can't get a shell with 3.5.3.
17:09.11lardmanCoreDump|home: yep, if/when I have time - or anyone else wants to do it
17:09.28lardmanxiaowen: yes, sorry
17:09.45xiaowenI went through the steps looking for a shell, now I went too far and am apparently reflashing. ;)
17:10.01xiaowenI'm sure you could do it with 3.5.2 though ...
17:10.36lardmanoops
17:11.37xiaowenOK, lardman give me a few more minutes, then I'll try that.
17:11.42lardmanok
17:12.08xiaowenWhy can't net_fd and storage_fd be used simultaneously?
17:12.30lardmanboth need to control the usb stuff/hardware/whatever
17:12.38xiaowenOK.
17:16.07xiaowenI still get invalid argument ...
17:16.38lardmanwhat did you try to pass?
17:16.42B0Tixiaowen: what command
17:16.57xiaowenstorage_device=/dev/hda1 as you have in your script.
17:17.05lardmando you have a CF card?
17:17.22B0Tixiaowen: are you sure it's hda1 ?
17:17.25lardmanif not, change the /dev/ entry to something else
17:17.40lardmanhda1 is correct for the first partition on a CF card on the Z
17:17.54xiaowenOh, I'm confused.
17:18.11xiaowenI thought we were trying to get my Z to appear as mass storage to my Linux box.
17:18.19xiaowenWhy are we talking about CF cards?
17:18.26lardmanAh, I'm afraid only cards in your Z can appear as mass storage devices
17:19.11HClnfs?
17:19.18lardmanI imagine it might be possible to write a driver which gives access to the whole fs (or part thereof), but not easy
17:19.49xiaowen:/
17:20.01xiaowenlardman: It wouldn't be unique to the Zaurus would it?
17:20.15xiaowenI mean we're just dealing with two Linux devices.
17:20.23lardmanum, I think it might be pretty unique
17:20.28xiaowenWhy?
17:20.54lardmanI've not heard of anything which wants to do mass storage from a device which keeps the fs open and mounted on its end
17:21.26lardmanas the mass storage driver gives complete control to the host computer - everything (like all the fs operations) are just passed through afaik
17:21.39xiaowenlardman: So other than mass storage, is there another way to transfer data between the Zaurus and a Linux box using the USB port? :)
17:21.42lardmantherefore you'd have to intercept this stuff, decide what to do with it, and pass it on
17:21.49lardmanYes, usb net
17:22.06lardmanthe normal way it operates
17:22.30xiaowenWithout the docking station?
17:22.55lardmanShould still work ok - doesn't your Z just have a usb connector which can act as a client or a host?
17:23.02xiaowenDoes it work the same as in the howto at http://openzaurus.org/wordpress/howto/usb-networking/ if I get a cable that connects the Zaurus directly to a PC?
17:23.09xiaowenYes, it's a mini-A.
17:23.44lardmanI don't know as I don't have one, but I think it should work (be careful, you may need a 'cross-over' cable - if that makes sense)
17:24.46xiaowenOh, no please explain?
17:24.55B0Tilardman: it's a usb cable
17:24.56xiaowenI've never heard 'cross-over' used for USB cables.
17:25.11lardmanI've no idea about USB cables
17:25.28lardmanI just presumed that they might be wired differently on the client and host sides
17:25.37B0Tilardman: well, im sure you have seen one already ;)
17:25.55lardmanOh, I've seen a few, but not bothered to learn anything about them
17:26.22lardmanI've also seen people talking on ZUG about some cables not working, and I presumed it might be something like this
17:26.43B0Tithe plug on the Z end is special, on the other end it's just  normal usb  that  you can plug into a usb hub.
17:27.26lardmanyes, but are usb cables directional? One end plugs into a client, the other into a host
17:27.50xiaowenI think the ports can determine whether it's a client or host.
17:28.02lardmanActually, scrub that, it'd come with a cable which does net stuff be default I reckon
17:28.06xiaowenmini-A can act as a host whereas mini-B is client only I think.
17:28.40lardmanAgain, I don't know - plug it in and try - see what dmesg spits out on the host computer
17:29.33xiaowenYes, I'd like to, but I need the cable first. :)
17:29.56xiaowenI'd like to know so I don't waste money on a cable, but if it's not expensive, I might just buy it just to try.
17:31.02B0TiI just tried setting it up (the usb-nnetworking-howto helped a lot) and it works.
17:31.25B0Tibut i'll just use the CF network card, since I like that better.
17:31.45xiaowenWhy do you like it better?
17:32.26xiaowenI personally like the extra control real networking would give over just a handle on a memory card.
17:32.51lardmanHave a look at the thread on ZUG (I really don't know anything more I'm afraid): http://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=7922
17:32.55xiaowenB0Ti: When you set it up, did you connect directly from your Z to your Linux PC?
17:33.10xiaowenB0Ti: What model Z do you have again?
17:33.36xiaowenThanks lardman, you've been really helpful anyway. :)
17:33.47lardmanBOTi: One advantage of usb networking is that I'm currently connected to my PC via usb & to a wifi network at the same time
17:34.03lardmanBOTi: Actually, I can't think that it's a real advantage, buy hey
17:34.14lardmans/buy/but
17:34.58lardmanxiaowen: np
17:35.23B0Tixiaowen: yes, I connected my C860 to my PC
17:35.59xiaowenB0Ti: You have a mini-A to a normal USB cable?
17:36.39B0Tilardman: for me usb0 is a disadvantage, because it cant get DHCP from my server (which is not the pc that I connect to), unless I do bridging or some other hack.
17:37.14lardmanxiaowen: the c7x0 machines have a usb cable which plugs into the Sharp io port
17:37.25B0Tixiaowen: dunno what a mini-A is, I have the one that came with my Z (normal usb at the end).
17:37.45xiaowenlardman: What kind of USB is it?
17:37.54lardmanBOTi: fair enough, I keep my Z <-> PC with a static address and use ICS (on WinXP)
17:38.07lardmanxiaowen: c7x0 are only clients
17:38.28lardmanxiaowen: so the connector is the one which plugs into the back of a computer
17:38.36xiaowenOh OK.
17:39.07xiaowenThe SL-6000 can act as hosts, so you can plug clients to it like keyboards and such, so I don't know if that makes a difference. :/
17:40.15B0Tixiaowen: that makes a difference because you wont need a usb host cf card. (the one that doesn't work with 2.6.11 ;)
17:41.22lardmanxiaowen: and I think it does - I think the cables might be different (but I really don't know)
17:41.52lardmanEnough speculation on my part I think ;)
17:41.54xiaowenYeah, I know the cables are different, that's why I gotta buy one. :)
17:42.06xiaowenThe cable that came with my Z only goes from docking station to PC.
17:42.19xiaowenIt's a mini-B.  I need to buy one that has a mini-A end.
17:42.40lardmanWell that should work for both usbnet and mass storage
17:43.00lardmanif it fits
17:43.18lardmanand there are no differences between host & client cables
17:43.33xiaowenYou needed an extra USB host CF card to do usbnet?
17:43.47lardmanyes, I've got a ratoc card
17:44.10xiaowenOh.
17:44.20lardmanbut it has a dongle which accepts a standard usb connector so you can plug stuff in as you would to a PC
17:44.37xiaowenOh, that's nice.
17:44.48B0Tixiaowen: no because usbnet works both on the host and the client.
17:44.59xiaowenI hope I find some accessories with the cable so I can plug a standard USB keyboard in and such.
17:45.00lardmanah, but nicer to have it built in (and not using a CF card slot)
17:48.22lardmanI'm off, have a nice evening all

21:33.51Ikkakujyuvext01: xmms-embedded should work flawlessly.
21:34.07vext01ohhhhhh
21:34.09vext01thanks
21:48.02*** part/#openzaurus notasnark (~sam@mailgate.glendale.org.uk)
21:49.22IkkakujyuOh. I still haven't figured out how to send a  ctrl+c in GPE, except over SSH.
21:54.40imkoz-bootstrap + debian = <3
21:55.54IkkakujyuSounds fun :)
21:57.59vext01<PROTECTED>
21:58.08vext011 of 10 packages seem to work
21:58.12IkkakujyuErm, where are you installing to?
21:58.15vext01fails linking
21:58.18vext01ram
21:58.22vext01loads of space left
21:58.45vext01opie mail seems to install ok
22:01.39vext01over 16MB
22:02.43IkkakujyuI've no idea, actually.
22:03.15vext01'error linking /path/to/so/and/so'
22:03.19vext01about 200 times
22:03.55vext01its a real let down
22:04.42vext01if i try sd it says that its a read only fs
22:04.46vext01when the card is unlocked
22:04.53vext01i might cry
22:07.17vext01hmmm
22:07.19vext01check this
22:07.55vext01\/ MEDIA/RAM/USR/LIB/IPKG/INFO/*.LIST:
22:08.03vext01no such file or directory
22:08.14vext01if i do ipkg-link mount /media/ram
22:08.20vext01obviously not caps
22:08.24vext01any ideas now?
22:11.10IkkakujyuSounds like a serious problem. This is where -I- would reflash, but then I reinstall Gentoo every time my /home directory gets cluttered.
22:13.11vext01ive reflashed this so many times
22:13.18vext01im thinking of selling up
22:14.29vext01nothing seems to work ever on my zaurus. teh sharp rom soesnt detect the wireless card, gpe image suspend is screwed up, and i cant seem to get any apps to install on the qpe image
22:14.46vext01im sure im doing someting wrong
22:15.15IkkakujyuSuspend in GPE has been fixed. It was one of the big points of 3.5.3.
22:16.05IkkakujyuAlso, with Minimo and Gxine working, it's damn usable.
22:16.28vext01no its the same in 3.5.3 for me
22:16.42Cwiiisvext01: There's a gtk2 version of links...?
22:17.02vext01i dunno about on the zaurus but on unix yes
22:17.08vext01what OS are you running?
22:17.25vext01it may be gtk1?
22:17.26CwiiisLinux
22:17.36CwiiisI know there's a graphical X11 version
22:17.38vext01ok i dunno how youd install for that
22:17.40CwiiisWasn't aware of gtk though
22:17.45vext01but yes there is a gui for it
22:17.49vext01links -g
22:17.57CwiiisThat loads up the x11 one for me
22:17.59vext01svgalib too
22:18.05vext01man links
22:18.19vext01maybe im erong
22:18.22vext01wrong
22:19.24vext01your right its xlib
22:19.29vext01sorry ;s
22:19.56Cwiiisnp :)
22:20.15vext01if your after a lightweight gtk browser dillo is your man
22:20.46Ikkakujyu...minimalist in the extreme, though.
22:21.44vext01yeh
22:21.46vext01no ssl
22:22.57vext01ok ive reflashed and im trying konqueror now
22:23.49vext01cannot satisfy libqte
22:23.53vext01no its installed
22:23.55vext01wtf
22:24.10IkkakujyuForce depends.
22:25.17vext01i tried this before
22:25.21vext01but will try again
22:27.09vext01its got further
22:27.23vext01now we are back to the linking errors
22:28.10vext01its added the app in the tab but it says it cant find stuff
22:28.14vext01permission to cry
22:29.36vext01Ikkakujyu: Is there anything to your knowledge that i should have to do inbetween flassh and instaling pkgs
22:29.50IkkakujyuNone that I know of.
22:30.01vext01bad ram?
22:30.06IkkakujyuI suggest installing to an ext2 formatted SD card.
22:30.17vext01good choice
22:30.20vext01im on it
22:30.22IkkakujyuIf you want a REALLY solid system, though...
22:30.37vext01yeh
22:30.42IkkakujyuGet one of the roms at www.hentges.net.
22:31.14vext01thanks
22:33.05vext01what has been modified in these initrd;s?
22:34.37IkkakujyuOh, the card manager, lots of busybox stuff is replaced, ssh changes, some of the Opie apps removed, bunch of other stuff...
22:35.01IkkakujyuThere's no 3.5.3 version yet, but it's much more recent than 3.5.2.
22:36.36vext01is there an ext formatter on the zaurus itself?
22:36.43vext01i have no util for ext on my system
22:36.46IkkakujyuHentges'll have it.
22:36.51IkkakujyuMight want to backup :)
22:36.58vext01nothing to backup
22:37.01IkkakujyuRighto.
22:37.28vext01dev node for sd?
22:37.47IkkakujyuEh?
22:38.11vext01sda1 for my sd card right?
22:38.31IkkakujyuIt'll show up as mmcda1 in OZ.
22:38.50IkkakujyuBut the Hentges rom automatically formats it when you flash.
22:40.47vext01im gonna try that after i try the ext2 idea
22:40.52vext01^ ;s
22:40.59vext01we about to be kicked off?
22:41.14IkkakujyuProbably not.
