00:45.27subdueit only suspends if you hold it down for longer than 3 seconds
00:45.42subduejust tap it one key at a time rather than holding it down
01:07.53imkyeah, thats kind of an annoyance though, is there a way to disable that?
01:19.01subdueit's a known bug that they wont fix afaik
01:19.09subduesince it involved the 2.4 kernel
01:27.42imk=/
01:38.09subduethe effort is for 2.6, rather than 2.4 bugs
01:48.17imkyeah...
01:49.17imkis there some trick to getting adhoc to work in OZ? i set the ssid, channel, ip... on the computer i set it to the same ssid, channel, different ip... it says theyre connected and acts like it, but i cant ping either computer or do anything
02:06.10subdueI think there was a wireless fix somewhere, not sure. check ZUG - I recall reading something about it

14:00.23B0Tialan_: latex is non-gui, so you just need to compile it for the Z (make an .bb for OE). Lyx is for X.

14:41.25lardmanafternoon
14:41.32CoreDump|homehi lardman
14:41.40lardmanHi CoreDump
14:41.52lardmanB0Ti: I tried out the cfu1
14:43.53lardmanWhat should a mass storage device show up as (under /dev) with 2.6.12?
14:58.21*** join/#openzaurus _spizkapa_ (~spizkapa@160-20-101-159.adsl.legend.co.uk)
15:04.05B0Tilardman: usb-storage is scsi, so it would be sd[a-d]
15:04.17B0Tidmesg will tell you.
15:07.12B0Tilardman: I also fixed that hub disconnect bug I told you yesterday.
15:07.16lardmandmesg didn't, hang on and I'll post the output
15:07.26lardmangood - I got that one - killed my Z
15:08.35B0Tilardman: grab the new driver from my site.
15:08.43lardmanwill do
15:08.57lardmanI also had an oops when I first inserted the card
15:09.07B0Tihmm.
15:09.24lardmanI couldn't mount usbfs - is that normal
15:09.25lardman?
15:09.49B0Tiif usbcore is loaded, you should be able to mount it.
15:09.56lardman<PROTECTED>
15:10.38lardmanhttp://students.bath.ac.uk/enpsgp/Zaurus/usb_results/
15:11.02lardmanIf you sort them by date order you'll see what I did
15:11.29B0Tiif the hub is not initialized, then bus/usb might be empty
15:11.58lardmanno, it was fine - the usb mass storage key was inserted and recognised, but still nothing
15:12.06lardmanI'll try again later on
15:13.49B0Tilardman: you have sd_mod?
15:13.59lardmanno, I dont think I do
15:14.16lardmanor rather I have it, but didn't install it
15:14.30lardmanshame the drivers won't complain about missing deps
15:15.42B0Tilardman: you don't have usbfs mounted in that mount output. Should say:
15:15.44B0Tinone on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw)
15:17.22lardmantrue, I did have it mouted though as I remember seeing it
15:17.34lardmanI'll have to check, I may have messed up and not had anything plugged in
15:17.48lardmanwhen I looked in /proc/bus/usb
15:18.29lardmanThere's an issue with spca5xx I'll have to look into
15:18.44lardmanis there a v4l kernel module - that might be it
15:18.52lardmanhindsight is a wonderful thing ;)
15:19.53lardmanwhat's the sysrq key?
15:20.57B0Ti[zen-han] + [home]
15:21.23*** join/#openzaurus alan_ (~alan@ARouen-152-1-44-228.w83-115.abo.wanadoo.fr)
15:21.27lardmanwhere [zen-han] is the left key?
15:21.39alan_hi lardman !
15:21.39B0Tithe right key
15:21.44lardmanok
15:21.47lardmanhi alan_
15:23.05B0Tilardman: your logs look okay, except for that OOPS. I know where that came from, it will need a bit of a rewrite. Already discussing on linux-usb@ with the sl811-hcd author.
15:23.39lardmancool, I guess the reason I couldn't mount the mass storage is that I was lacking sd_mod
15:24.32B0Tilardman: and test with the latest driver. From your logs, it looks like cardctl is trying to load the ./usb script and I have fixed that a couple days ago already!
15:25.17B0Timodule dependency calculation should be nice in OE, the guys said it will be added sometime soon.
15:26.32B0Tilardman: what's spca5xx for?
15:26.42lardmanFor a webcam
15:26.47lardmanthe kodak ez200
15:26.56B0Tiusb?
15:26.58lardmanI did use your new driver - I downloaded it yesterday
15:27.02lardmanyep
15:27.11B0Tiyou have too many toys :)
15:27.31lardmanit came free with my old pc about 5 years ago - not cutting edge :)
15:27.36lardmanbut a start
15:28.18B0Tiis it powered?
15:28.38lardmanbus powered - my usb hub is powered
15:29.22B0Tibut for a webcam I'm not sure if the power from the cfu1 is enough.
15:29.33lardmanno, my cfu1 is connected to a powered hub, the hub powers everything
15:29.48lardmanexcept for the bit between it and the Z
15:29.55B0Tioh, if you have an external hub which is powered than it should be fine.
15:30.30B0TiMy hub is bus powered.
15:30.44lardmanSorry, I meant the camera is bus powered
15:31.01lardmanand the hub is powered by a mains adaptor
15:31.18B0Tii see now.
15:31.51lardmanthat's the reason I bought the powered hub - so the camera would work, plus I was feeling sorry for my Z's battery life
15:32.47lardmanhave you got a copy of usbutils?
15:34.17B0Tinope.
15:34.45lardmanI need some info about what my other random devices are - it's in OE, I'll compile it now
15:35.00lardmanAssuming usbfs mounts ok
15:35.09lardmanOtherwise it won't work
15:35.21B0Tii'll want if if you have the package.
15:36.50lardmanshould be built in a minute or two
15:37.29lardmanyou got libusb?
15:38.27lardmanhttp://students.bath.ac.uk/enpsgp/Zaurus/temp
15:38.37B0Tino
15:38.46lardmanlet me know when you've grabbed them and I'll get rid of the dir to save my (limited) webspace
15:43.37B0Tii got them, thanx

16:08.35alan_B0Ti: i'd like to know more about the strucute of .bb files. could you help me to find an explanation, please ?
16:12.13lardmanWhat do you need to know alan_?
16:14.00alan_i'd like to prepare some bb files. I don't have a building machine ready for now, but it will come
16:15.36lardmanWhat kind of thing are you going to build? What are the programs?
16:18.52alan_i don't know. i want to  learn.
16:19.08alan_simple progs for a beggining.
16:19.23alan_then, we'll see
16:19.28alan_^^
16:20.34lardmanhttp://students.bath.ac.uk/enpsgp/Zaurus/emul/gpsd is one I did the other day - based on gpsd
16:21.13lardmanYou need the DESCRIPTION, SECTION, PRIORITY, MAINTAINER< DEPENDS and LICENSE fileds
16:21.23lardmans/fileds/fields
16:21.47lardmanYou don't need PR - which is program revision, something like that
16:22.02alan_so from the bb file, bitbake (?) downloads the sources and compiles ?
16:22.03B0Tilardman: I got dependency errors:
16:22.04B0TiERROR: Cannot satisfy the following dependencies for libusb:
16:22.04B0Ti<PROTECTED>
16:22.16lardmanyou need 'inherit autotools' (for a normal program), it would be something else for kernel modules, etc.
16:22.22B0Tishould I --force it ?
16:22.42lardmanhmm, do you have libgcc and stdc++ of some version?
16:23.03B0Ti3.4.3-r10
16:23.24lardmanYep, force it
16:23.42lardmanalan_: actually take a look at the .bb for octave - that's really simple
16:24.10B0Tiit was good I didn't start building usbutils cos it would be still rebuilding gcc...
16:24.29lardmanalan_: the do_*() parts, allow you to override the defeult build behaviour and make changes to the way the files are configured, compiled and packaged (amongst other things)
16:24.55lardmanB0Ti: it might have just taken your version, that you have already
16:26.19B0Ti# lsusb
16:26.19B0TiBus 001 Device 004: ID 03eb:3301 Atmel Corp. 4-port Hub
16:26.24B0Tiworks fine.
16:26.26lardmancool
16:26.27alan_lardman: ok. thanks for infos. So all this is for now over my skills, but i'm ready to learn, and so i WILL build my first prog this summer.
16:27.06alan_got to keep on working
16:27.08lardmanalan_: if you just fill in the header parts, and the SRC_URI (which is where the source is downloaded from), then try a bitbake -b on it
16:27.20lardmanalan_: then add parts as you need as it fails
16:27.32B0Tialan_: you should first understand how to build a regular program from source.
16:27.51lardmangood point - how configure then make then make install are used
16:28.24alan_lardman & B0Ti : i admitt i use this without understanding very well what they do.
16:28.30lardmanActually I'm a bit surprised there's no step by step on the oe website for writing a new package
16:28.44B0Timost of the time you will start building it outside OE, and if you know how to configure/make/install it, then you can start with the .bb
16:28.50lardmanActually, iirc, Mickeyl did a step-by-step in the latest newsletter didn't he?
16:29.44B0Tithat wasn't the latest (2005-01)

16:34.21lardmanalan_: it's very bare-bones though, perhaps you could add some more info once you get building
16:34.23B0TiinPherno: obsd on the Z?

16:34.50inPhernohttp://www.openbsd.org/zaurus.html
16:34.59B0Tiand what's the debian crap?
16:35.04inPhernono official release, but the snapshot runs great
16:35.16inPhernou can run debian under chroot on the sharp rom
16:35.23inPhernobut its too slow to be of too much use
16:35.30inPhernoopenbsd runs great tho
16:35.59lardmanThis line from the web page: "Shortly after Sharp unveiled its first Zaurus machines, some OpenBSD developers started dreaming of running OpenBSD on it, to have the smallest possible ssh-capable machine!"
16:36.08lardmanIt was already ssh capable
16:36.12inPhernoi know
16:36.12inPhernolol
16:36.14B0Ti:)
16:36.32inPhernoim hoping to compile gnome tonight
16:36.48lardmanwhat kernel are you running?
16:36.54B0TiinPherno: does the 3k have a bootloader?
16:36.57inPhernothe openbsd kernel
16:36.59inPhernoyes
16:37.02inPhernowell
16:37.10B0Tigrub or lilo?
16:37.11inPhernoit does if u run openbsd heh
16:37.37inPhernoopenbsd comes with a bootloader which looks similar to lilo
16:38.28B0Tiyeh, but how does the sharp "bios" know what to load? You flash it like the rest of the zauri, right?
16:38.38lardmanHow good is openBSD in general - as opposed to using Linux?
16:39.02inPhernoive never used openbsd until now... but it seems great... im almost considering using it on my desktop pc
16:39.09inPhernothe ports system is cool
16:39.56inPhernoB0Ti: i dont know how the bootloader works
16:40.19inPhernoim prolly never gonna boot into linux on my zaurus again
16:40.30inPhernoso the bootloader is useless to me anyway ;)
16:40.51B0TiinPherno: until you get toys like we have, that obsd doesn't support.
16:40.53lardmanthe ports thing is like having OE on your Zaurus?
16:41.10inPhernodunno?
16:41.15B0Tilike gentoo on your Z i guess.
16:41.21inPhernoyeah
16:41.36lardmanIt's a short set of instructions which tell the buildsystem where to get source, what to do it to it make it work
16:41.54inPhernoits like a package manager, but for source
16:42.11lardmanIt does what OE does for us
16:42.22lardmanmanages and builds the binary packages
16:42.23inPhernoso all the ports for other bsd systems work on the zaurus
16:42.32B0TiinPherno: did you build KDE on your Z? I guess not ;)
16:42.43inPhernoyeah
16:42.49B0Tifrom src?
16:42.52inPhernoand im building gnome tonight
16:42.53inPhernoyes
16:43.01lardmaninPherno: really, ports for other BSD platforms work without any modifications?
16:43.05B0Tiholy crap.
16:43.14inPhernoall it takes is: cd /usr/ports/x11/kde/ && make install
16:43.24inPhernothanks to bsd's cool ports system
16:43.34inPhernoyes lardman
16:43.52lardmanwhat about more difficult packages?
16:44.02lardmanThose with endianness, or asm?
16:44.18inPhernoas far as i know ports handles everything
16:44.25lardmanhmm, interesting
16:44.30B0Tigo build openoffice + mozilla + gnome and come back when you finish (in a week) :>
16:44.40inPhernolol
16:45.06inPhernoya... but when u compile, it generates a binary package... which can be made available for other ppl to download
16:45.21inPhernoso one 1 person needs to build something and everyone else can just install
16:45.36lardmancan you post the port for quake?
16:45.45lardmanso we can see what it looks like
16:45.58B0Tilardman: it's running ./configure with predefined switches.
16:46.23lardmanactually don't worry, I just saw this: "Using Ports
16:46.23lardmanIf a given package does not exist for your architecture, you may still be able to compile the port. Besides, some users will want to compile everything from source for various reasons."
16:46.41lardmanthat's reassuring, I thought there was some magic going on
16:46.47inPherno:)
16:47.02lardmanmost ports will be similar, but I imagine some will be different (see my asm/endianness comment)
16:47.19inPhernohttp://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/ports/
16:47.39inPhernou can just grab all that with cvs and plonk it in /usr/ports/
16:47.52inPhernothen make install in any of the folders and itll do its work

16:50.55lardmanThis ports thing is exactly the same as what we use - except that be cross-compile on a desktop
16:51.02lardmans/be/we
16:51.11lardmanIt's a good idea
16:51.28lardmanI presume the openBSD kernel is open-source?
16:52.21inPhernoi guess
16:52.33inPhernoavailable in the cvs i think
16:55.49lardmanInteresting stuff
16:55.58B0Tihttp://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq5.html#BldGetSrc
16:56.13lardmanyep, that's th stuff I was just reading :)
16:58.02B0Tilinux is good enough for me
16:58.36lardmanThat's what I was thinking
16:58.48lardmanThere doesn't seem to be much in depth info about openBSD
16:58.55lardmannot that I could find with a quick google
16:59.19inPhernoyeah... but openbsd is very similar to any unix system
16:59.37lardmanyes, but I've not used unix for a long while
16:59.45inPhernoinfact, everything that i know about linux still applies to openbsd
17:00.24lardmanthe thing the web pages keep stressing is that openBSD is very secure
17:00.41lardmandoes that mean that development is slow(ish)?
17:00.45inPhernobsd has always been good for small systems according to my dad
17:00.51B0Tilinux is secure too, if you configure it well.
17:00.56inPhernofar from slow
17:01.15inPhernoB0Ti: but openbsd is secure out of the box :)
17:01.18lardmanB0Ti: yes, I was just commenting on what the FAQ was stressing
17:02.22inPhernoheh... the zaurus info page on openbsd.org talks about ssh in your pocket being something revelutionary! they seem to be ignoring the fact that i, and im sure other ppl are running kde :)
17:02.31inPhernonow THATS something to talk about
17:02.52B0Ti:)
17:03.28B0Tithat's why I never liked theo and those folks...
17:03.28inPhernothe zaurus still functions nicely while compiling, too
17:04.03B0Tisecure out of the box, but still they had a couple remote roots, not to mention the openssh crap.
17:04.11lardmanhow are kernel modules handled? Are they even used?
17:04.18lardmanis the kernel monolithic?
17:04.25inPhernodont know
17:04.39inPhernoim sure #openbsd know
17:04.45lardman:)
17:05.06lardmanyeah, just wondering

17:10.15lardmanlol
17:10.25lardmanlooks like they have good usb support though for the C3000
17:10.38lardmannot better than Linux, but lots on their list
17:10.49inPhernothat list is very old
17:11.06inPhernosupport for loads more hardware has been added
17:11.14lardmanI wasn't trying to compete, I imagine that both support the same sort of stuff
17:11.23B0Tihow much is a C3000 now?
17:11.26inPhernobetter usb support than linux for the zaurus i think
17:11.34inPhernoi sell them :P
17:11.36lardmanI wonder what the dev and user levels are for the two?
17:11.51lardmaninPherno: really?
17:11.51Rupert-Gilesanyone got OBSD on a Z
17:11.54inPhernoyeah
17:12.09Rupert-Gilesit any good?
17:12.11lardmaninPherno: what makes you say that?
17:12.14inPhernoRupert-Giles: thats what ive been talking about for the past few mins
17:12.15B0Tiwhere and for how much?
17:12.21inPhernoRupert-Giles: its amazing
17:12.25Rupert-Gilesseriously?
17:12.34inPhernoRupert-Giles: yes... im currently running kde
17:12.43Rupert-Gileswhat?!
17:12.47Rupert-Giles:D
17:12.57inPhernoRupert-Giles: if uve ever used debian chrooted... then its in another league from that
17:13.11lardmanI've seen KDE running on pdaXrom, if someone could be bothered we could add it to OE and have it running on a GPe machine
17:13.14Rupert-Gilesooo i must install OBSD on my C3000 :)
17:13.16inPhernochrooted debian on linux = slow.... x11 on openbsd = fast
17:13.24inPhernogo for it rupert
17:13.35Rupert-GilesinPherno, you know of any decent tutorials for installation
17:13.42inPhernojust make sure to read the install instructions carefully
17:14.07inPhernoi might write a tutorial.... only problem is, i cant remember the exact order i did things
17:14.14inPhernobut its really not all that hard
17:14.45Rupert-GilesinPherno the instructions on the openbsd site/
17:14.59lardmaninPherno: the thing about that list (I know you say it's longer now), is that it actually says that openBSD supports 12 USB devices (chipsets)
17:15.13Rupert-GilesinPherno screenies and pictures please :)

17:15.39lardmaninPherno: listing the individual manufacturers' names & models is a little mis-leading
17:15.54lardmaninPherno: or are the drivers not normally generic?
17:16.00Rupert-GilesinPherno does it run fast?

17:18.12Rupert-Giles;)
17:18.12inPhernoglad ive found someone else whos gonna install it
17:18.12inPhernoive not spoken to anyone else who has it running
17:18.50Rupert-Gileswell i'll have to read thing carefully cause i've not had a Zaurus for long so i am not sure about the complete workings
17:19.43inPhernonor am i... i got my Z only a week ago
17:19.55inPhernoand im certainly not an experience unixer
17:19.57lardmanRight, I'm off home, have a nice evening all

17:21.32Rupert-Gilesheh :) yeh
17:23.32inPhernoRupert-Giles: once its installed you get a bootloader... and u can choose whether to boot into the normal linux environment, or to load openbsd
17:23.49Rupert-Gilesnice
17:23.59Rupert-Gilesill be like openbsd all the time :)
17:24.00inPhernoii just left 100mb on my hdd3 partition and added another partition for bsd

17:24.42Rupert-Gilescool!

17:26.25Rupert-Gilesthanks man
17:27.07Rupert-Gileswhat other cool apps you got on your Zaurus with openbsd?
17:27.38inPhernonot a lot right now... ive mainly been compiling xfce, blackbox and gaim
17:27.42Rupert-Gilescool
17:27.55inPhernokde is actually available as a binary for the zaurus
17:28.09Rupert-Gilesyou compiled kde?
17:28.13inPhernono
17:28.18inPhernowell
17:28.21inPhernoparts of it
17:28.27inPhernoeven tho i dont think i even needed to
17:28.28Rupert-Gilesahh ok :)
17:28.46Rupert-Gilesis the X11 fast on it
17:28.51inPhernoyeah
17:28.54Rupert-Gilescool
17:29.01inPhernowhen u start fvwm, you'll be shocked
17:29.06Rupert-Gilescool
17:29.13inPhernowindows drag very smoothly etc
17:29.17inPhernoand load times are nice
17:29.28Rupert-Gilesheh
17:30.09Rupert-Gilesgonna try and read this tonight
17:30.29inPhernowhen u try running X11, you'll prolly get an error about a library not being found... that can be fixed by creating a link to a newer version which is on the system
17:30.36Rupert-Gileshow long did it take u to install it?
17:30.41inPhernonot long
17:30.54inPhernothe only thing that took time was reading carefully
17:31.04Rupert-Gilesyeh
17:31.07inPhernosome parts i didnt fully unsdtand, but i worked it out
17:31.09Rupert-Gilesdont wanna blow my Z up
17:31.10Rupert-Gilesheh
17:31.19inPhernoya... be careful
17:31.30inPhernobut if uve done it right, u should know u have
17:31.37inPhernoand if u havnt, just cancel and start again
17:31.46Rupert-Gilesyeh
17:31.48inPhernoit does give u an interactive installer
17:31.54Rupert-Gilesok cool
17:32.04inPhernoinfact the only thing that might cause problems is the partitioning bit
17:32.24inPhernobut all i did was get my partition table to look the same as the one in the install readme :)
17:33.01Rupert-Gilesyeh looks quite complicated
17:33.13Rupert-Gilesi'll read carefully and if you're around ill ask
17:33.15Rupert-Giles;)
17:33.34inPhernocool thing is.... that if i format my harddrive and reinstall... i can get it back to its current state cause i have the binaries from the compilations that it packaged for me :)
17:34.10inPhernou prolly will need to ask at some point.... i had no one to turn to, so i had to make educated guesses in some places ;)

17:34.33inPherno:)

17:44.09Rupert-Gilescan't i just like put the stuff on to on of the disks
17:44.16Rupert-Gilesthrough usb
17:44.20inPhernoand u might want to get one soon
17:44.24Rupert-Gileshow come?
17:44.43inPhernonot sure... dunno if usb to the pc will work out of the box
17:45.01Rupert-GilesinPherno i use like usb just now on the linux
17:45.07inPherno1 way i can think of is to boot into qtopia... then transfer stuff to hdd2 or hdd3, then go back into bsd
17:45.14Rupert-Gilesyeh
17:45.20inPhernocause bsd has no prob mounting hdd1/2/3
17:45.32Rupert-Gilesas long as i can like get it installed
17:45.53Rupert-Gilesam not to fussed about using usb in linux to get stuff
17:46.36inPhernok... but if your NOT considering getting a wifi card or something, then you might be at a bit of a disadvantage
17:46.46Rupert-Gilesi'll get one some time
17:47.12inPhernokk
17:47.29inPhernowhat are you planning on running?

22:11.25alan_brimstone: mplayer works fine here
22:12.02alan_what is the problem with it ?
22:14.28alan_with the indication provided here, http://openzaurus.org/wordpress/howto/encoding-and-playing-video-for-c7x0-devices/ , i read films without troubles
22:15.01alan_(btw, the -vo w100 mplayer option is for gpe image only)
22:15.23alan_i dunno if Xora edited this page...
22:16.04alan_brimstone: what is your Z model ?
22:16.43alan_argh, it's 00:15 here... time to go to bed.
22:18.47alan_brimstone: if you have a 5xxx z, just follow my mencoder command line at the bottom of the page. Edit the ofps to 12, divide the resolution by 2 and use 32kbps for audio instead of 64 and it should work.
22:19.25alan_ho and get the video bitrate to 80 instead of 150
22:21.13alan_my mencoder cmmand line works perfectly right with my c750. films are smooth and 2 hours of video fit in 200mo
22:22.07alan_good night all !
