12:31.00 | cosmo- | another zaurus tuning day starting.. :-P |
12:31.25 | cosmo- | i found a ram-disk that has a lot of free space in opie.. that could help the situation |
12:34.43 | cosmo- | i could remove apps to get space on / and reinstall them to ram |
12:42.24 | *** join/#openzaurus mithro (~tim@lester.mithis.com) |
13:32.08 | alan | cosmo-: mmm.. i think ram is the same as / |
13:32.13 | alan | ^^ |
13:32.38 | alan | you can install in /home, if needed, but you already know that... |
13:51.37 | cosmo- | there is /media/ram dir mounted with lots of free space |
13:53.48 | cosmo- | i can get 2.5mb free space if i remove all non-essential packages from opie, but it doesn't seem to be enough |
13:55.11 | cosmo- | if i try to install anything even then, the installer freezes and Z won't even boot to gui |
13:57.28 | cosmo- | too bad but i should have bought a palm :( |
14:02.02 | Ycros | cosmo-: where would the fun be in that ;) |
14:02.58 | cosmo- | not so fun, but i could sync my calendar and there's ssh for palm also |

14:59.58 | yipstar | hello zaurus community |
15:00.15 | yipstar | anyone around that has gotten a bluetooth card to work under OZ 3.5.3 |
15:00.17 | yipstar | ? |
15:02.03 | cosmo- | hm, would it be possible to create a filesystem on cf and use it as /usr or something? |
15:05.13 | yipstar | anyone know if the bluetooth howto on oesf.org is up to date? |
15:06.07 | cosmo- | i got a zaurus on friday, so i can't help |
15:07.12 | yipstar | no worries cosmo- |
15:07.41 | yipstar | cosmos if you're looking to install applications to a cf or sd card instead of the rom you can |
15:08.27 | cosmo- | i need more space on root dir, opie leaves 1.3mb free |
15:08.57 | cosmo- | it isn't enough for ipkg's temp files or something and the whole system breaks |
15:09.17 | yipstar | what model are you on? |
15:09.48 | cosmo- | 5500 |
15:10.20 | yipstar | so you're staying after you flash your rom to OZ 3.5.3 and without installing anything further ipkg is not working properly? |
15:10.26 | yipstar | *saying* |
15:11.01 | cosmo- | yes |
15:11.38 | cosmo- | it gets stuck installing anything and i believe it's because it runs out of space on / |
15:11.39 | yipstar | hmmn... I'm on a c870 but I'm sure there's lots of people using 5500's. |
15:11.45 | cosmo- | even if i try installing to cf |
15:12.02 | yipstar | and you added the cf as a destination to /etc/ipkg.conf? |
15:12.32 | cosmo- | it's already there |
15:13.17 | yipstar | you have a dest cf /mnt/cf entry? |
15:13.28 | yipstar | under the entry for root? |
15:15.16 | cosmo- | dest cf /media/cf/packages/ |
15:15.34 | yipstar | and when you install a pkg you do ipkg -d cf install pkg_name? |
15:15.36 | FallenHitokiri | got the same problem. if i want to install more than 3 or 4 pkgs the whole systems crashes. |
15:15.57 | cosmo- | yipstar: yep. |
15:16.17 | cosmo- | i can install some very small packages successfully, but anything larger fails |
15:16.22 | yipstar | cosmo-: sorry then, I've not the experience or expertise to help you :( |
15:16.33 | cosmo- | ipkg freezes, even on command line |
15:16.51 | cosmo- | my best guess is that / runs out of space for temp files etc |
15:17.26 | alan | cosmo-: df returns ? |

15:19.08 | alan | mmm... i miss hrw to help you... he is on vacation. |
15:19.52 | cosmo- | there should be a opie image with only minimal applications installed so that there would be free space initially |
15:21.19 | alan | maybe you can install progs to /media/ram, after all... |
15:21.34 | alan | i don't know much about 5xxx models. i have a 750 |

17:34.55 | jnc | which explains much of the inconsistancies |
17:35.48 | yipstar | Its just weird because I've been on 3.5.3 for over a month now and everything has been going great |

17:43.54 | yipstar | sorry I'm not sure how to do that |
17:43.56 | jnc | i don't know anything about japanese culture.... so maybe 'katakana' isn't the right word |
17:43.59 | jnc | 'k |
17:44.12 | jnc | well it's two keys and they don't do anything useful in english |
17:44.19 | JustinP | jnc: have you tried the new keymap on the OE forums that someone posted for the C1K |
17:44.22 | JustinP | ? |
17:44.24 | JustinP | it works much better |
17:44.25 | jnc | i'd like to assign them to ALT and soemthing else |
17:44.38 | jnc | JustinP: possibly, i thought that was included in the upgrades feed? |
17:44.55 | jnc | i know that the keymap is much different than a fresh non-upgrade feed updated install of OZ 3.5.3 |
17:44.56 | JustinP | is it? I didn't think so... |
17:45.17 | jnc | hm |
17:45.18 | JustinP | hmmmm, ok, perhaps is was upgraded then....I'm still using that one altered a bit for myself, though |
17:45.23 | jnc | ah okay |
17:45.36 | JustinP | do you katakana keys do anything? |
17:45.42 | jnc | i saw a few keymaps, they were dependent on a certain program |
17:45.49 | jnc | nope, not that i can tell |
17:45.57 | jnc | they just seem like dead keys to me |
17:46.01 | JustinP | then you don't have the keymap that I'm mentioning ;-) |
17:46.16 | JustinP | the keymap just depends on loadkeys which you should have |
17:46.31 | jnc | i don't have loadkeys, AFAIK |
17:47.22 | jnc | i only have loadfont and loadkmap |
17:47.30 | JustinP | it should be in th ebase installll....I didn't think I installed anything for it |
17:47.34 | jnc | where do i get loadkeys? |
17:47.34 | JustinP | maybe it was kdbtools or something |
17:47.37 | jnc | hmm |
17:47.39 | JustinP | kbd |

17:47.55 | jnc | searching now |
17:48.04 | jnc | i am using GPE now, not OPIE |
17:48.19 | JustinP | doesn't matter, this is a console mapping |
17:48.39 | jnc | well... it matters a little bit, if you press shift+Fn in OPIE, it disables the keyboard |
17:48.42 | jnc | ;) |
17:48.49 | jnc | in GPE it does not seem to do anything |
17:49.07 | JustinP | well yes |
17:49.14 | JustinP | but I mean that the keymap works in both |
17:49.17 | jnc | okay |
17:49.36 | jnc | yeah i don't seem to have this loadkeys utility. the forum posts i read indicated that loadkeys is the way to go |

17:56.17 | yipstar | I just flashed the same files 4 days ago and it went fine |
17:56.32 | yipstar | I reflashed to 3.5.3 opie |
17:56.33 | JustinP | you sure they're the same? |
17:56.45 | yipstar | well I just downloaded them again from the oz site |
17:56.54 | JustinP | then they may not be the same |
17:57.03 | yipstar | but the time stamps seem the same |
17:57.03 | JustinP | did you check their sizes? mp5sums? |
17:57.11 | yipstar | nope, let me do that |
17:57.13 | JustinP | md5sums |
17:57.43 | yipstar | um, how do I do that? |
17:59.02 | JustinP | first check their sizes |
17:59.14 | JustinP | the problem most often is that the download stopped in the middle |
17:59.25 | jnc | that's not a n00b question, it's just something that gets a lot of use and if you don't know about it, you probably should learn |
17:59.58 | yipstar | yes, I know its also for security purposes so you know the files haven't been modified from the original released versions |
18:00.04 | yipstar | I'm just lazy and don't do it |

18:01.05 | jnc | yea |
18:01.10 | jnc | see that is something i ran into also |
18:01.29 | jnc | md5sums helped me realize that it did not copy to the SD card properly |

18:02.10 | yipstar | nod |

18:37.13 | jnc | i wish bash were on the Z |
18:37.41 | jnc | i'm kind of torn |
18:37.49 | jnc | maybe i should repartition the Z's hard disk |
18:37.55 | jnc | or sell it and get a C3100 |
18:38.04 | jnc | (with 128mb ROM) |
18:38.13 | JustinP | eh? no bash? you can always install it |
18:38.48 | JustinP | I have a C3000. A C3100 would be nice, but C3000 is great |
18:39.16 | jnc | yeah |
18:39.30 | jnc | what i desired was the black look. iPoddish white is sort of not my style |
18:39.38 | jnc | also i'm not a big fan of the microdrive |
18:39.42 | JustinP | yes I don't like the nwhite myself |
18:39.45 | jnc | it stops working in hot hot heat |
18:39.52 | jnc | (i.e. in the car glovebox) |
18:39.58 | JustinP | so don't leave it in the car.... |
18:40.02 | jnc | well |
18:40.07 | JustinP | that's just a stupid idea IMHO... |
18:40.12 | jnc | okay |
18:40.16 | jnc | i wanted a GPS console |
18:40.18 | jnc | :) |
18:40.26 | JustinP | why would you leave expensive electronics in aa hot car? |
18:40.44 | JustinP | hmmm...well I would suggest carrying it with you and using the GPS when you're in the car |
18:40.49 | jnc | yeah |
18:41.02 | jnc | using HOST USB is sort of unwieldly |
18:41.31 | jnc | at least with the GoldX cable it sticks out and is subject to breakage |
18:41.41 | JustinP | true |
18:41.49 | JustinP | you can get one of those littl ecab;es though |
18:41.55 | jnc | if i could |
18:42.10 | jnc | they are not produced by anyone i know, all cables i saw were out of stock |
18:42.42 | JustinP | I got mine from the "USB Cutie" laptop HD USB enclosure |
18:42.48 | jnc | interesting |
18:43.01 | jnc | is that more reasonable? |

18:53.57 | jnc | JustinP: where'd you pick up firefox? |
18:54.22 | jnc | (for the c3k) |
19:11.57 | JustinP | jnc: the one in the OZ feeds should "work" |
19:12.10 | JustinP | download it to your Z then install it |
19:12.22 | JustinP | then extract it |
19:14.01 | JustinP | "ar x firefox firefox....tgz" |
19:14.09 | JustinP | "tar zxvf data.tar.gz" |
19:14.20 | JustinP | then copy all of those files to where they need to go |
19:19.08 | jnc | oh |
19:19.20 | jnc | i couldn't find one in the OZ feeds for 3.5.3 |
19:19.24 | jnc | that's why i'm asking |
19:19.28 | jnc | did i miss it? |
19:21.12 | JustinP | is it not in the x11 feed or something? |
19:21.19 | JustinP | sec sec... |
19:21.19 | jnc | nope, not that i could see |
19:21.28 | jnc | also, how do you handle the limited amount of rootfs space? |
19:21.35 | jnc | i've run out, it is only 100mb |
19:21.48 | jnc | stock partitioning |
19:21.54 | JustinP | I don't have to handle it, I have a C3000 :-| |
19:22.02 | jnc | i have a C3000 as well |
19:22.13 | JustinP | oh yeah |
19:22.14 | jnc | it is partitioned, and installed with OZ on the rootfs of 100mb |
19:22.38 | JustinP | I used parted (compiled in Sharp ROM) to make a new partition (well, 2) at the end of the HD by resizing hdd3. |
19:22.53 | jnc | ah |
19:22.57 | JustinP | so I have 512M for my oz |
19:23.04 | VladDrac | justin back |
19:23.16 | VladDrac | justin there's no way to upgrade at all, actually |
19:23.18 | JustinP | then I altered the pivot root flash image to use the new partition instead of the default one |
19:23.50 | jnc | does usbmode vfat access work on your config ? |
19:23.52 | JustinP | that way I don't lose my Sharp ROM in case I want it. just NAND restore and I have it back. Same to go back to OZ |
19:23.58 | jnc | 'k |
19:24.08 | JustinP | jnc: you mean like a USB HDD? I haven't tried it. |
19:24.14 | jnc | good to know |
19:24.28 | JustinP | jnc: I'm also trying to get parted compiling in OE for OZ |
19:24.39 | JustinP | jnc: if you want parted for the Sharp ROM I can send you my files |
19:24.47 | JustinP | it was a bitch to get compiling right |
19:24.48 | jnc | i would like that, please |
19:25.12 | JustinP | ok, let me see if I can package it up easily |
19:26.39 | jnc | we should make a list of things to do from a stock C3000 |
19:26.45 | jnc | and OZ 3.5.3 |
19:26.50 | jnc | i know the OE forums are a mess |
19:27.28 | JustinP | I very rarely actually go to them any more |
19:27.49 | JustinP | there's info in there but it's hard to find.,...and it's mostly people asking questions |
19:29.07 | JustinP | so don't chose, use both ;-) |
19:29.12 | JustinP | choose |
19:29.52 | jnc | GPE is nicer I think, it is a bit slower than OPIE |
19:30.01 | VladDrac | it's rather buggy imho |
19:30.04 | VladDrac | at least on c3000 |
19:30.05 | jnc | the programs in OZ 3.5.3 are not very stable right now |
19:30.08 | jnc | indeed |
19:30.10 | VladDrac | minimo is hardly usable actually |
19:30.17 | jnc | minimo? |
19:30.23 | VladDrac | the browser? |
19:30.25 | jnc | not heard what that is |
19:30.26 | jnc | oh |
19:30.28 | JustinP | firefox works great but it's somewhat slow |
19:30.30 | jnc | i use dillo2 right now |
19:30.43 | VladDrac | dillo hmm ok is that ipkg installable? |
19:30.50 | jnc | dillo2 is great, it does not save files though, they are blank files |
19:30.53 | jnc | yep |
19:30.59 | jnc | x11 feed i reckon |
19:31.02 | VladDrac | and I really need some calendaring tool that can sync remotely (like sunbird) |
19:31.23 | jnc | oh, i think there is one in GPE cvs code, not immediately useful for us though |
19:33.04 | VladDrac | I found some kde thingy as well, can't really figure out how to start it (read: how to boot kde) |
19:33.21 | JustinP | I love kopi but I think it only runs in opie... |
19:33.47 | VladDrac | hmm, and are there alternative browsers for opie? |
19:33.56 | VladDrac | konqueror didn't impress me really |
19:36.56 | jnc | i've heard that E17 is the ultimate of ultimates on C3000 zaurus |
19:37.02 | jnc | anyone tried it? |
19:37.05 | VladDrac | e17? |
19:37.35 | VladDrac | enlightenment? |
19:38.47 | JustinP | ok, I made a tarball of e2fstools and parted....it's all of the source and compiled files for c3000 Sharp so it's over 9MB... |
19:39.06 | jnc | okay |

19:43.07 | JustinP | Ambicom |
19:43.16 | jnc | i'm having trouble with the wifi card being recognized as eth0 when the spitz is booted with the card in |
19:43.35 | jnc | if the spitz is booted without the card, and the card is added later it shows up as wifi0 and wlan0 |
19:43.54 | jnc | mine is a dlink dcf-660w |
19:44.31 | JustinP | so don't boot with it in ;-) |
19:44.41 | jnc | that puts a lot of wear and tear on the slot |
19:44.48 | jnc | it's almost to the point where it's loose and nearly falls out |
19:45.06 | jnc | is this a kernel issue, ya think? |
19:45.34 | JustinP | the cxks have some "problems" with booting with CF in |
19:45.50 | JustinP | such as if you boot with a memory card in it becomes hda and the microdrive come sup as hdc |
19:46.01 | JustinP | yes, I think it's a kernel issue |
19:46.07 | JustinP | the embeddix kernel |
19:46.15 | jnc | ah |
19:46.33 | JustinP | my CF slot is still nice and tight.... |

20:00.03 | JustinP | personally, I installed Opie and then installed GPE as well |
20:00.17 | JustinP | jnc: BWAHAHA, that's quite funny |
20:00.28 | jnc | VladDrac: OZ GPE 3.5.3 image is screwed up; you'll want the OPIE image |
20:00.38 | jnc | from there you can install GPE |
20:00.59 | jnc | JustinP: just for the Zaurus though |
20:01.21 | JustinP | still funny |
20:01.26 | VladDrac | jnc: how fucked up? I actually downloaded someone's gpe compile, didn't see any 'official' image |
20:01.41 | JustinP | there is no official gpe image I thought |
20:01.46 | VladDrac | anyway, once I'm settled, it'll be either OPIE or GPE, not both |
20:01.50 | VladDrac | and I prefer X11 in general |
20:01.53 | jnc | oh |

20:04.10 | JustinP | it's the only package in there ;-) |
20:04.26 | VladDrac | I gave up after trying to hack my own stuff after a while (leaving my zaurus in semi-broken state as there was no official way to restore the sharp rom |
20:04.36 | JustinP | VladDrac: well I'm working on stuff because I don't want to wait and because I like this stuff :-) |
20:04.42 | jnc | VladDrac: it's just JustinP ... he does all the work around here *kidding* |
20:04.58 | VladDrac | justin: I have too many other projects I'm involved in |
20:05.10 | jnc | JustinP: if you want an amd64 3000xp+ box to use as a compile host, i could set that up |
20:05.42 | jnc | i don't have any real knowlege to contribute at this point, just my cpu power |
20:09.37 | JustinP | jnc: well that would be faster than my poor little 800mhz machine :-) I'd appreciate the power. How much HD space do you have? |
20:10.03 | jnc | not much left, i could clean some off |
20:10.10 | jnc | you could get probably a gig to work with |
20:10.38 | jnc | privmsg for details :) |

20:13.50 | VladDrac | ah ok |
20:13.51 | VladDrac | makes sense |

20:16.56 | VladDrac | ah ok |
20:17.06 | VladDrac | let's start with kopi then |
20:17.15 | VladDrac | so, no alternative browsers for opie besides konqueror? |
20:19.11 | JustinP | well, you can try Opera |
20:19.14 | JustinP | worked fine for me |
20:19.26 | JustinP | oh wait |
20:19.33 | JustinP | I'm thinking of the Sharp ROM ;-) |
20:19.44 | JustinP | none that I know of that is built |
20:19.59 | JustinP | you can try Opera and such with oz-compat |

22:35.52 | yipstar | JustinP: you don't happen to know anything about bluez or bluetooth do you ? :) |
22:35.55 | jnc | JustinP: how would ya reckon i restore my zaurus to the Sharp ROM? |
22:36.13 | jnc | yipstar: i can field the bluejunk |
22:36.16 | jnc | what's up |
22:36.46 | yipstar | well I just got a bluemonkey bluetooth card |
22:36.58 | JustinP | jnc: you get the zimage, initrd, hdimage, and updater.sh for the Sharp ROM and flash with them |
22:37.12 | yipstar | and I'd love to OZ 3.5.3 opie connecting to my cell phone to get internet access |
22:37.22 | yipstar | so I believe there are two main bluetooth options, bluez and affix |
22:37.29 | jnc | JustinP: can those be found on the japanese cd thing? |
22:37.55 | yipstar | i've decided to start with bluez |
22:38.13 | jnc | i use bluetooth for my GPSlim236 gps receiver |
22:38.20 | yipstar | bluez? |
22:38.26 | jnc | i got a Zoom bluetooth dongle that works pretty well |
22:38.28 | jnc | i think so |
22:38.33 | jnc | bluez modules on spitz |
22:38.39 | yipstar | what's spitz? |
22:39.17 | yipstar | and where did you have to download the bluez modules, or are they from the official feed? |
22:41.11 | JustinP | jnc: they may be....they are on the Sharp Zaurus website somewhere as well I think. |
22:41.24 | jnc | :) |
22:41.45 | jnc | my SD reader/writer on this desktop system misbehaves |
22:41.50 | jnc | i'm a little anxious about that |
22:42.21 | jnc | how much space is enough to allocate for a rootfs? |
22:42.23 | JustinP | so use CF ;-) |
22:42.41 | JustinP | well...do you mean for your new OZ install? |
22:42.54 | JustinP | (you can always copy to the SD on the Z as well) |
22:43.23 | JustinP | I have ~700MB right now. I have Opie and GPE as well as a whole slew of other programs installed and I'm at 100MB or so free |
22:43.36 | JustinP | I also set up a swap partition |
22:44.57 | jnc | yea i am thinking about wiping the whole thing out and restoring it to mint, as you say, it is possible to throw OZ at the end of the drive and have ample space |
22:45.28 | jnc | i would also like to document the exact process |
22:47.08 | JustinP | :-) that would be good |
22:47.24 | JustinP | yes, you can leave the normal install alone and have OZ at the end with no problems |
22:47.32 | JustinP | 512MB should be fine for normal use |
22:47.43 | JustinP | more than fine, probably |
22:48.04 | JustinP | I used to do Opie and GPE plus a bunch of stuff on a 512MB SD card on my collie |
22:49.22 | darmou_ | I think that gpe is the futrure, but not very usable right now |
22:53.41 | kolla_ | wish there was a no-nonsense lightweight alternative |
22:55.16 | kolla_ | picogui was very nice, but died due tolack of interest :( |
23:06.08 | AppleBoy | JustinP: what is it you're doing right now? |
23:06.51 | AppleBoy | I'm not annoyed or anything, I'm actually happy this computer's power is being put to use, I'm just curious as it's been running for a long time and it boosted my ram usage from 400megs to 700 megs |
23:07.00 | AppleBoy | good use that is |
23:12.49 | JustinP | I'm doing an initial pull of the monotone database for OE hosted on my own server. It does a whole lot of SHA and other encryption algorithms to make sure that the revisions are "correct" |
23:14.33 | JustinP | aha, done |
23:14.43 | JustinP | nice server, that was relativelly fast :-) |
23:14.44 | AppleBoy | yep |
23:14.46 | AppleBoy | just finished |
23:14.49 | AppleBoy | :) |
23:14.53 | AppleBoy | cool |
23:15.18 | AppleBoy | 662megs of ram used, 420 megs of swap used |
23:15.26 | AppleBoy | talk about a jump |
23:26.08 | JustinP | all right, time to do some compiling, let's see how fast I can get the cross-sompiler set up |
23:26.26 | JustinP | ah...hehe, that's funny |
23:26.45 | JustinP | I'm missing bitbake |
