00:04.57Archigosany suggestions?
00:06.57ArchigosI'm trying to update everything so I can run the rboot scripts and have Opie/GPE on the same time
00:11.07JustinPhehe
00:11.20JustinPwell if you have only 500K free that's likely to be part of your problem
00:13.21Archigosany suggestions then? I'm using the latest Hentges (Collie) and can't seem to find the names of some of the packages I want to remove
00:16.07Archigoscrap, it seems I somehow removed use of the touch screen so I'll have to reflash now anyway
00:19.24JustinPyou can use the "arrow keys" to select apps
00:19.31JustinPand "Home" to change tabs
00:19.44ArchigosI noticed that, but I'm reflashing anyway
00:20.08Archigoshopefully I'll get this all correct the first time, so I don't have to keep redoing it
00:20.09JustinPArchigos: I suggest actually moving root to SD instead of just installing some apps to SD
00:20.32JustinPI believe that hentges just installs a bunch of apps to SD....
00:20.33ljpwhat I meant was that oe can use gcc2 only for zaurus apps. I know it's isnt built by it
00:20.57Archigosthat's what I was trying to do with rboot (hentges moves "home/root" to SD)
00:21.10radugaljp: i wouldn't want to use it for anything else, frankly.
00:21.25JustinPljp: still not right. At least, not for OZ. gcc2.95 is only used for the 2.4 zaurus kernels, not the apps.
00:21.49JustinPljp: although I *think* the Sharp distro type may use it for apps...but that's only token supported
00:22.02ljpheh. ya, meant kernel not apps
00:22.09JustinPArchigos: rboot is "old". I suggest altboot, which Mr. Hentges wrote.
00:22.35Archigosthere's an rboot updated for 3.5.3
00:24.18JustinPArchigos: altboot
00:24.23JustinPArchigos: altboot is better
00:24.42ArchigosI've already reflashed... :)
00:24.42JustinPArchigos: at least IMHO. You get a menu even if you want it. :-)
00:24.55Archigosthat works
00:25.38ArchigosI guess I'll read more into Altboot then

08:19.46eccerr0roh my.
08:20.02eccerr0r/dev/mixer cant be opened when /dev/dsp is opened on poodle?!
08:20.14hrw|workdont know
08:20.24eccerr0rhow about collie?
08:20.26hrw|workmorning eccerr0r
08:20.31*** part/#openzaurus fourcheeze (n=rich@westbury.doilywood.org.uk)
08:20.35eccerr0rgood morning.
08:20.50hrw|workI dont know at all - any zaurus
08:21.33eccerr0rhmm.  Basically when I have opie-mediaplayer running, the taskbar volume control does not work
08:21.51eccerr0rI have to quit out of opie-mediaplayer to change volume.
08:22.47hrw|worklet me check on husky
08:22.55eccerr0rsomething is wrong with this... I must be sending directly to the audio device instead of the sound daemon (ao?)
08:25.02eccerr0rI recall the sharp rom I could change the volume, so this is an artifact of oz or maybe I broke my kernel without knowing about it...
08:25.57eccerr0rAlso, seems poodle sound does not support the SOUND_MIXER_READ_RECSRC ioctl... had to comment it out to get aumix to work
08:27.36eccerr0ranyway my poodle is still nothing more than a toy, still unuseable as a pda :-(
08:27.45hrw|workbecause?
08:28.10eccerr0rsuspend/resume can oops the kernel, but it's not repeatable
08:28.29eccerr0rit's an rmmod that eventually oopses.
08:29.10eccerr0rwell, it's not specifically the oopsing that's bad, it's the subsequent crash/reboot... but that's not bad either... it's when I lose time of day - now THAT's bad.
08:29.50hrw|workall pxa zauruses have that problem - lack of RTC
08:30.08eccerr0ryeah.  So need to eliminate the crashing...
08:30.49eccerr0rI can't tell what module it's trying to remove when it oopses, that would be a good start...  hmm.
08:31.09eccerr0rthere should be a ksymoops that works with arm-linux?
08:32.09eccerr0rI should have the symbol table somewhere... also I need to make it syslog to SD or something I don't care about syncing every line :)
08:32.11hrw|workbtw sound volume - on husky/2.6 situation is the same
08:32.19eccerr0rahh.
08:32.34*** join/#openzaurus kolla (i=kolla@firda.uninett.no)
08:32.36hrw|workeccerr0r: change syslog initscript to make it log into file
08:32.50hrw|workand for symbol table - copy System.map from kernel builddir
08:32.53eccerr0rright, it's disabled because it will wearout the flash :)
08:33.18hrw|workand usually noone need system logs on pda
08:33.19eccerr0rI think my priority right now is finding out the suspend/resume issues.  Then maybe I'll see if I can get the sound driver reentrant...
08:33.30XorAeccerr0r: or invest in a serial cable and dump messages out of serial port
08:33.46eccerr0ryeah that would work too, lol.
08:34.00eccerr0rthinking about hacking the docking station with a DB9...
08:34.20XorAeccerr0r: wish huisky had docking station would make life easier
08:35.06eccerr0rhusky also started with a 2.4 kernel from sharp?
08:35.12XorAeccerr0r: yes
08:35.30XorAeccerr0r: and it still has the old sound driver, RP hasnt finished a re-write yet
08:35.47eccerr0rmust be that sharp is using a usermode multiplexor.

13:23.42lardman|workHow do I disable ipv6? I was trying to connect to a hotspot, and although ifconfig showed wlan0 having in ipv6 address (does this happen by default?), it started moaning about there being no ipv6 router available
13:24.05XorAlardman|work: thats all fine and normnal operation
13:24.14lardman|workReally? Oh
13:24.44lardman|workSo there must be something else wrong to srop me from having obtained a lease then?
13:24.52XorAdoes that on ever interface on all my linux machines
13:25.06XorAlardman|work: yes, more likely your not associated
13:25.26lardman|workWhat does that mean?
13:25.44lardman|workIt said in dmesg that I was connected, I assume it would obtain a lease then...?
13:26.04XorAlardman|work: I have also found udhcpc to be unreliable
13:26.17XorAlardman|work: I would try and re-run it with udhcpc -i wlan0
13:26.44lardman|workXorA: Okay, at least I know where to look then, thanks
13:26.55lardman|workSep 14 12:11:24 c7x0 local0.info udhcpc[6052]: No lease, forking to background.
13:27.13XorAlardman|work: It seems after forking to background it stops asking :-(
13:27.32lardman|workXorA: I think it wakes up after a little while and tries again
13:28.01XorAlardman|work: maybe, but it takes longer than my patience
13:28.19lardman|workXorA: I'll have to look into the delays it uses & how fast it expects a reply, etc - the AP was busy, lots of people with laptops around
13:29.08XorAlardman|work: another stupid thing I have done occasionally is have firewall on and dhcp replies cant get through
13:30.56lardman|workXorA: I switched to Opie as I needed good power management for the conference
13:31.17XorAlardman|work: what does it offer over gpe?
13:32.04lardman|workpm is far better - backlight control for one thing (which is broken for GPE with 2.6.13-mm1 -> you can't echo a value into the sysfs files, if you do, the backlight goes off for good)
13:32.34lardman|workplus I've not had a chance to look at ipaq-sleep and I wanted the finer granularity which Opie offers
13:32.47hrw|workheh.. wifi and dhcp.. at home (where only I use wifi) I'm unable to connect Z<>WRT54 - have to disable wep to get connection (keys are set good)
13:33.40XorAhrw|work: wierd, I connect Z to WRT54 at work
13:34.13XorAlardman|work: ah yes, that but, that one hurts, but hopefully RP is right and its fixed
13:34.39lardman|workWhat was the issue with pcmcia now then?
13:34.50XorAlardman|work: its changing target
13:35.00lardman|workhrw|work: That might have been my problem too I suppose - difficult to know isn't it
13:35.08lardman|workXorA: Does it work though?
13:35.17hrw|worklardman|work: it is
13:35.39hrw|worklardman|work: anyway I plan to upgrade my wrt54 to newer openwrt so will have to change some things soon
13:35.47XorAlardman|work: I havent got kernel on machine yet
13:35.53XorAlardman|work: but it works well in mm1
13:36.30lardman|workXorA: Yep, but mm1 has the backlight problem
13:37.14XorAlardman|work: Ive been using the hotplug pcmcia anyway
13:37.46lardman|workI'm happy to move back, but just want to make sure I'm not heading for a broken kernel
13:38.16XorAlardman|work: Ill let you know next week :-)
13:40.06lardman|workXorA: Well, I may as well bake a gpe-image and give it a go over the weekend if I've got time
13:59.25XorA~lart libtool for being crap
14:23.36alan|homethere is something i don't understand : i built my own 3.5.4pre, every kernel module in my new feed is a 2.6.13-mm1 but the build works on a 2.6.12-mm1... i installed the 2.6.13-mm1 kernel, but now i don't know how to boot on this kernel... I'm sure it's as simple as a syslink, but i need some help. Plus i really wonder why the build doesn't run a 2.6.13 kernel...
14:39.50XorAalan|home: you need to flash new kernel
14:43.25alan|homeXorA: Oo ??
14:44.22XorAalan|home: like you flashed originally, but only the kernel
14:44.40XorAzImage.bin
14:45.31alan|homeand how do i get this zImage.bin ? Mine was made in the same time as the rest of my feed, with the same sources ?
14:46.06XorAtmp/deploy/images
14:48.16alan|homeXorA: i know that... that is why i'm puzzled... tmp/deploy/image and tmp/deploy/ipk were made in the same time... why is the image using a 2.6.13 kernel when all the feed uses a 2.6.13 ?
14:48.42alan|homegrrr... i mean the image uses a 2.6.12....
14:49.59alan|homeand i reflashed the all zaurus with the content of /tmp/deploy/image : the initrd, the zImage and the update.sh...
14:53.18alan|homeso i installed kernel_2.6.13-mm1-r5_c7x0.ipk on the Z from my personnal feed, but i don't know how to boot it... looks like it's something i can't do...
14:53.33lardman|workthat's not the same as flashing the kernel you know
14:54.20lardman|workafter you flashed with initrd.bin, zImage.bin & updater.sh, did your Z boot up?
14:54.33alan|homeyep
14:54.44lardman|workand uname -r gave 2.6.12-something?
14:54.54alan|homeyep
14:55.08lardman|workwhat's in tmp/rootfs/lib/modules/ ?
14:56.22alan|homemmm... i only have /tmp/rootfs/dev
14:56.36lardman|workin which case the initrd.bin can't have been built
14:57.05lardman|workunless you're running a 'bitbake *-image' right now?
14:58.20alan|homelardman|work: there is really something wrong with that : before i built the image (with bitbake gpe-image), i erased build/tmp/*
14:59.17lardman|workYeah, sounds odd - can you run bitbake gpe-image now and see whether it produces an initrd.bin?
14:59.46alan|homeso i flashed a zImage-2.6.13-mm1-c7x0-20050912100357.bin
15:00.13alan|homelardman|work: ok, but my cpu is quite slow... it might take some time.
15:00.31lardman|workit shouldn't take long
15:00.37lardman|workas most of it has already been built
15:00.46alan|homeyeah.

16:23.43z-akitaraduga: how do you use the hentgescvs in basic OE?
16:23.49radugabut seems to... be ok, once you get your feet wet.
16:24.21radugaz-akita: I haven't tried merging hentgescvs.  I believe the docs explain it though.
16:24.27radugalet me have a look
16:25.05z-akitaraduga: i'm worried hentges script will have problem with new bitbake images
16:25.30z-akitasince its not updated so often

17:00.26tuxoverflowso if i get a older libgspd and gspd qpegps might work??
17:02.05lardman|workI don't think it has anything to do with libgpsd does it?
17:02.14tuxoverflowoh right
17:02.26tuxoverflowjust the gpsd ipk
17:02.48lardman|workthere's a bb for gpsd-2.28 and one for 2.6 in OE
17:03.06lardman|workI imagine that one of them is before the change which has broken these programs
17:03.10lardman|workthough I may be wrong
17:03.39tuxoverflowwhats a bb?
17:04.07lardman|workhmm, a recipe file to use with bitbake
17:04.12lardman|worklike a Makefile
17:04.29tuxoverflowah im not that experienced
17:04.31tuxoverflowsorry
17:04.34tuxoverflowi wish i was
17:04.44tuxoverflowi do a lot of testing and help newbies
17:04.51lardman|workwhich version is in the feed?
17:05.33tuxoverflowill take a look
17:06.53tuxoverflow2.20-r1
17:07.55tuxoverflowjust done a uname -rv after kernel flah it reads 2.4.18-rmk7-pxa3-embedix
17:08.11tuxoverflowis the the r21 kernel or not?
17:08.21tuxoverflowlooks like i flashedwrong maybe
17:08.27lardman|workNext thing to do is look though the various threads (both on oesf and on the gpsd ml) and see when things were broken - which version of gpsd. If it was after version 2.6, then I'd ask hrw to add it to the upgrades thread
17:08.53tuxoverflowah cool ill try that
17:08.57lardman|workI don't know, I don't have my collie with me atm - I don't think the bersion changed though
17:09.18lardman|works/bersion/version
17:09.26tuxoverflowah okay it flashed for about 8 secons
17:09.34tuxoverflowso i guess it is
17:09.37lardman|workthat's probably about right
17:09.58tuxoverflowoh it says april 2005 release
17:09.59tuxoverflowmm
17:10.06tuxoverflowyes that sounds right
17:11.44lardman|workwhat says April 2005 release? The kernel?
17:11.48tuxoverflowyes
17:12.06lardman|workthat's too old then I'd have thought
17:12.42tuxoverflowah
17:12.58tuxoverflowi updated as told on instructions
17:13.08lardman|workthe lights were on for 8sec?
17:13.14tuxoverflowyes
17:14.10tuxoverflowi copied accross zImage-collie-64-0-20050407102515.bin and renamed to zImage on the card on its own
17:14.19tuxoverflowthen it falshed for about 8 seconds
17:14.43lardman|workI just did a quick calc and it should be something like 15-20sec, 8 sec is close enough I reckon
17:15.10lardman|work(just looking at the file sizes, and an approximate guess at how long a complete flash takes, etc.)
17:15.24lardman|worksee if it still exhibits the bug...
17:15.35lardman|worktry suspending with the on/off button
17:15.39tuxoverflowis that the right file kernel file zImage-collie-64-0-20050407102515.bin

18:37.24JustinPswap on a file on your sd card makes sense
18:37.30tuxoverflowyes
18:37.34JustinPram cannot be a file on storage
18:37.43JustinPswap can
18:37.49radugayour SD card almost certainly contains no SDRAM
18:37.53radugaor DRAM of any sort.
18:38.03tuxoverflowyes i make a ram file andmount it to loop
18:38.13tuxoverflowthen mount to swap
18:38.14radugawhat is a ram file?
18:38.32tuxoverflowread write ram file on the sd card!
18:38.58radugaits an rw file then.
18:39.14tuxoverflowyes but file is formatted swap
18:39.28tuxoverflowhow can i start script at boot
18:40.36JustinPthat would be a "swap file", not a "ram file"

19:46.00dracflamlocOpieuser, dunno, i still dont have one! =(
19:46.33OpieuserI do not know if I made a mistake buying the Zaurus
19:47.02OpieuserMy old Palm VIIx would run for weeks on 2 AA cells.
19:47.21OpieuserI am not very thrilled about the 10hr battery life on the Zaurus
19:48.03dracflamlocits actually pretty good for a color screen
19:48.06dracflamlocsadly thats a drawback
19:48.16dracflamloci too loved my old palm V because of the long battery life
19:48.27dracflamlocsadly these days you probably wont find that in anything but the palm zire 21
19:50.48eccerr0rbacklighting and a (relatively) high speed cpu costs power...
19:51.18OpieuserThe other concern is the instant on/off on the old palms
19:51.20eccerr0rmy HP200LX was my old palmtop - there I had a higher resolution screen and higher battery life.
19:51.38dracflamlochm
19:51.38OpieuserI like the on/off on the Palm
19:51.50OpieuserI have not figured out how to do that on the Zaurus

21:14.32JustinPbtwotch: why did you format it?
21:14.39btwotchonly the fourth was mounted on /
21:14.43JustinPyou shouldn't play around with the flash like that
21:14.45btwotchI need space
21:14.54JustinPyou should use an SD card
21:15.00JustinPyou've probably killed your zaurus
21:15.23JustinPyou can *try* to reflash it, but I think you may have overwritten the flashin software
21:15.42btwotchJustinP: It must be a SD-card?
21:16.08JustinPbtwotch: or a CF card. What else would you use? SD is best because the doesn't get ejected on suspend like CF
21:16.33btwotchJustinP: And what have I to do with this card?
21:16.42btwotchJustinP: the oz installation-instruction?
21:17.10JustinPbtwotch: like I said you've probably killed your Zaurus. Try re-flashing.
21:17.24JustinPbtwotch: but if the light doesn't come on when you've plugged it in I don't think it's going to work.
21:17.38JustinPbtwotch: you'll have to send it back to Sharp to get it fixed
21:19.00radugahow would Sharp fix it?  JTAG?
21:21.15btwotchthey change the flash-card.
21:21.16radugabtwotch: tell us, what was in /dev/mtdblock/3 ?
21:21.32radugabefore you formatted it?
21:21.44btwotchraduga: I couldn't mount it.
21:22.30radugabut what was present in that flash partition?
21:22.37btwotchraduga: lost+found
21:23.08btwotchafter formatting and before, I didn't care.
21:24.43JustinPbtwotch: you shouldn't be playing with flash partitions you don't know anything about
21:25.08JustinPbtwotch: I'm positive that was internal memory used for things like flashing
21:25.08btwotchJustinP: I didn't know, that it was flash, because mtdblock4 was mounted on / (rw)
21:25.26JustinPbtwotch: and the zaurii use Flash for their filesystems...
21:25.40btwotchJustinP: jffs2
21:25.45btwotchor something like that
21:26.00JustinPbtwotch: that's the FS, yes, but it's mounted on flash
21:26.03btwotchbut: mtdblock7 (I think) worked well.
21:26.06JustinPbtwotch: try reflashing your kernel
21:26.26JustinPbtwotch: don't format or use flash partitions like that
21:26.39btwotchJustinP: you think about: copy the kernel and the initrd to the card. Start and press C and D ?
21:26.41JustinPbtwotch: heh...if you formatted mor eof them (like 7) then you're probably SOL
21:26.41radugabtwotch: what other flash partitions did you format?
21:26.57JustinPbtwotch: yes, that. But do only the kerne, not the initrd
21:27.03JustinPbtwotch: yes, did you format any others?
21:27.03btwotchraduga: I think it was number 7.
21:27.14JustinPbtwotch: 6 is the flashing program
21:27.19btwotchJustinP: yep, and that one worked.
21:27.30JustinPbtwotch: you're fscked then
21:27.31alan|awaygood night !
21:27.44JustinPbtwotch: 6 was the flashing software, so you can't reflash now. 3 was your kernel.
21:28.10JustinPwell...6 may not be the flashing...
21:28.17JustinPtry reflashing the kernel
21:28.19JustinPsee if it works
21:28.52radugabtwotch: how long ago did you get your Zaurus? and from whom did you buy it?
21:29.40btwotchJustinP: but rebooting was possible after the first-flash-format
21:29.55btwotchraduga: I buied it 2 days ago at ebay :-)
21:30.05JustinPbtwotch: because you overwrote the *flashing* info...
21:30.32btwotchJustinP: does a mmc card work as well as a sd-card?
21:30.42JustinPbtwotch: try a reflash, but my guess is that you're going to have to send it to Sharp for JTAG stuff
21:30.50JustinPbtwotch: sure....if your zaurus boots....
21:31.11btwotchJustinP: flash doesn't work.
21:31.45btwotchwhy can't I boot via CD? (This would be great)
21:32.03JustinPbtwotch: you're joking, right?
21:32.18btwotchJustinP: this is what you do, when you killed your mbr.
21:32.26JustinPbtwotch: your last possibility is flashing using the Sharp OSPACK and your sync cradle
21:32.33JustinPbtwotch: do you see a CD drive on your Zaurus?
21:32.34btwotchok, you can kill your bios, too
21:32.46JustinPbtwotch: and you basically killed your BIOS
21:33.02btwotchJustinP: Where is this OSPACK?
21:33.15JustinPbtwotch: go searching
21:33.17btwotchJustinP: on CD I didn't found anything.
21:33.33JustinPbtwotch: pretty sure it's on there. you may have to download it, though
21:34.23btwotchJustinP: ok, I am downloading.
21:35.06btwotchand where is the difference between cf/sd and cradle-flashing?
21:35.38JustinPyou're going to have to figure it out. I don't have a collie any more and never had to use th eospack
21:38.08tubbie|homebtwotch, do not use craddle for flashing OSPACK. It is dangerous since OSPACK flashes the bootloader too, so if you loose usb connection while flashing, you may destroy your device
21:38.09btwotchJustinP: what do you think, how much have I to pay in a sharp-shop for this new flash-chip?
21:38.20tubbie|homeuse CF for flashing
21:38.33radugabtwotch: likely more than you paid for the Zaurus on eBay
21:38.47btwotchtubbie|home: good idead
21:38.57btwotchraduga: i thought so.
21:39.08radugaAssuming you can find a Sharp repair shop that still works on these devices.
21:39.30JustinPtubbie|home: try reading the whole conversation before talking
21:39.45JustinPtubbie|home: he erased his bootloader by formatting mtdblocks willy-willy
21:39.48radugathe 5500 is old. Its no longer in production, and many of the custom parts are no longer available.
21:40.39JustinPbtwotch: you can't use CF for flashing any more. The OSPACK is your last option before sending back to Sharp. And I suspect it will be $50-$100. Or more. It's not parts, it's just a manual reflash which they can do.
21:40.54btwotchgreat success, 2 days and ...
21:41.06JustinPbtwotch: well you shouldn't have been playing with internals like that
21:41.41btwotchJustinP: I got a flash from nokia for my mobile, and I paid only ~20$
21:41.46JustinPlike someone I once knew who deleted C:\COMMAND.COM because he didn't need it. You just don't go playing with things you don't understand.
21:42.07JustinPbtwotch: ::shrug:: so go ahead and call Sharp
21:42.14btwotchand why is mtdblock4 mounted on /?
21:42.22JustinPbecause that's how it works

21:45.26tubbie|homeJustinP, I was following the thread. I was hoping that OSPACK maybe restore the flashing partition

21:47.46JustinPtubbie|home: ah...you meant to use OSPACK on the CF. I misread you, sorry. He should actually try both if one doesn't work. After all the Z is dead anyway.
21:49.00tubbie|homenp justin, sorry for my wording. A possibly bricked device makes us all nervos I assume

22:25.16NickNak_shame - it adds several seconds delay before the Z is useable
22:26.12eccerr0rsome wifi/cf cards dont suspend/resume properly...
22:26.24eccerr0rthat's the workaround...
22:29.56NickNak_why doesn't it happen every suspend/resume? (only about 75% here)
22:30.41dracflamlocanyone have an extra pda they want to sell?

22:32.43JustinPNickNak_: the eject / insert happens on every suspend/resume unless you're bypassing apm (I think)
22:33.33dracflamloc=(
22:34.13PhroziacA little bit off topic, but, i'm having problems with new SD cards (bad FAT, blah blah) on my collie, with the stock sharp rom. Any possibility that OZ would work right with them?
22:38.47NickNak_JustinP: Definitely not every time here. And sometimes it just ejects without reinserting.
22:39.13NickNak_Maybe I've got a dodgy card?
22:46.12JustinPNickNak_: maybe

23:02.55NickNak_hmm using a different CF card I've done 10 suspend/resume cycles without a single eject/insert
23:03.24JustinPwell, it *does* normally eject/insert on every suspend
23:03.30JustinPyou just may not be seeing it
23:04.27NickNak_should it eject on suspend and then insert on resume?
23:04.42NickNak_what i'm seeing is eject and insert on resume
23:06.11JustinPdunno
