00:27.24tanqis there a way to encrypt your sd card the way you would encrypt your hard drive
00:27.49tanqi was at work one day and decided to pull my sd card out and lock it up in case i left my z on my desk...
00:28.20tanqalthough my z might be logged out someone can pull the sd or cf card and read the data
00:28.39StarKruzrI'm sure there is but hell if I know how
00:28.46StarKruzrno one in here seems to be available for help anymore.
00:28.59tanqyeah i know..
00:29.16tanqits like development goes but most of the interface is through bugzilla..
00:29.30tanqalthough hrw is on here about everyday
00:30.00tanqneed help with anything?
00:34.45StarKruzrI seem to have trouble with ipkg
00:35.04StarKruzrwhether I do it from the command line or through the opie package manager, installing packages hangs for some reason
00:35.18StarKruzrso far I've tried the GPE version and the Opie version and the same thing happened
00:36.35tanqwhat version of oz and what model z
00:37.27StarKruzr3.5.3, SL-5500
00:37.48StarKruzrso far I've confirmed that I can update the packages list okay
00:37.53StarKruzrand I can ssh into other machines
00:37.58StarKruzrso I don't *think* it's a network problem
00:38.23StarKruzrare the feeds wrong by default the way they were a while ago with 3.3?  or maybe it was 3.5.1
00:49.11*** join/#openzaurus baldurk^afk (n=baldurk@adiemus.org)
00:55.51tanqyeah sorry i had to take the trash out.. i'll forget it in th emorning.
00:56.01StarKruzrheh
00:56.18tanqi don't have my z out right now..  but let me see if i can blindly do this..
00:56.29tanqwhat are you entering on command line to try and install?
00:57.13tanqshould be something like:
00:58.08tanqipkg install <packagename> -force-depends -d <dest defined in ipkg.conf>
00:58.37tanqipkg install opiemediaplayer2 -force-depends -d sd
00:58.48tanqwhere sd is defined as /mnt/card
00:59.24StarKruzrhm
00:59.28tanqthen you would have to ipkg-link the sd
00:59.34StarKruzrwell I just did ipkg upgrade
00:59.46tanqalso..
01:00.03tanqall of the files that have the feed locations listed.. make sure those paths are still valid
01:00.12StarKruzrhow do I do that?
01:00.19StarKruzrjust go to them with a browser?
01:00.57tanqyeah
01:01.13StarKruzrthey seem to be valid, if only because I remember that when they weren't I would get 404 errors
01:01.19StarKruzrno 404 errors here
01:01.23StarKruzrit just sits and hangs on some packages
01:01.26StarKruzrfor example
01:01.47StarKruzrit just downloaded and upgraded ipkg itself with no problem
01:02.40StarKruzrnow it's stuck on the "downloading libqte2 on root from 2.3.10-r12 to 2.3.10-r14"
01:03.18StarKruzrI should be more specific.  it seems to be hanging on the downloading stage
01:03.23StarKruzrbut not failing, just hanging
01:03.30StarKruzrcan you get to the feeds ok with no problem?
01:05.45StarKruzrso, I just downloaded the file it's been trying to get with no problem, from my desktop
01:06.19StarKruzrwhat is Ctrl-C on a 5500?
01:06.31tanqok it probably isnt hung
01:06.49tanqtry verbose with the commands
01:07.59StarKruzrokay.
01:08.05StarKruzrdropbear is the ssh server, huh
01:08.18StarKruzr(I've never actually shutdown'd it before
01:09.17StarKruzrwhat the hell?
01:09.24StarKruzrStarting Opie. . . .
01:09.30StarKruzrBus error
01:09.35StarKruzrtext mode login.
01:18.27StarKruzrok, restarted and that stopped
01:19.00StarKruzrwhen you said this: "then you would have to ipkg-link the sd"
01:19.04StarKruzrwhat did you mean?

01:19.56StarKruzrhave I trashed my root?  crap.  is there some way I can paste these results to you?
01:23.06*** join/#openzaurus that_weasel (n=Nick@pcp559438pcs.rthfrd01.tn.comcast.net)
01:55.52StarKruzrcan someone help me figure out what is supposed to be in root and what isn't?  because this is what mine looks like straight from a fresh install:
01:55.55StarKruzrFilesystem           1k-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
01:55.58StarKruzr/dev/mtdblock4           14464     13108      1356  91% /
01:56.43StarKruzrand just doing one ipkg update brings it to this:
01:56.44StarKruzrFilesystem           1k-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
01:56.44StarKruzr/dev/mtdblock4           14464     13584       880  94% /
02:01.23kakosAs far as I know, a reflash doesn't wipe out everything and start anew, so there is probably a lot of kruft hanging around that might be causing your problems
02:09.49StarKruzrwait, sorry
02:09.52StarKruzr*what*?
02:10.09StarKruzrisn't that the POINT of doing a reflash?
02:10.33StarKruzra) how would you be able to wipe everything out if that's the case, and
02:11.03StarKruzrb) why would it be that the same amount is shown as "Used" every time I reflash?
02:12.04StarKruzrif it wasn't wiping stuff out wouldn't it eventually fail to flash?
02:12.13StarKruzrbecause it would fill up more and more as time went on
02:29.48kakosI'm guessing it just replaces the system files and such.  I'm not sure.  All I know is that when I reflash, there is a lot of stuff left behind like setings and such.  The Cacko ROM image gives you a menu of options, one of which is to format the user partition, which seems to clear up any problems.  After that, I reflash with OZ.  Not sure if there is a better way or what.
02:31.00StarKruzr"Cacko?"
02:32.13kakosIt's a variation on the Sharp ROM that comes with the Zaurus.  http://my-zaurus.narod.ru/cacko.html
02:32.25kakosLike I said, there might be a better way to do it
02:32.46kakosI'm not sure what it is
02:34.53StarKruzrthere doesn't appear to be a version of it for the SL-5500.

05:03.16sheepbatyes

05:07.29sheepbat..so I figure the least I can do is tell other people
05:08.27grendal_primehey was it you that was telling me about a petter pim for opie that has integrated contact list?
05:08.34sheepbateh?
05:08.37sheepbatnope
05:10.37grendal_primehmm
05:11.12grendal_primemaybe it was ....hmm whats his name..they guy that explained the boot of root deal
05:12.02StarKruzranyone here still alive?
05:12.58StarKruzrneed some help with figuring out why my SL-5500's root is stuffed to 91% right after a fresh re-flash with 3.5.3
05:13.22sheepbatit doesn't normally have that much?
05:14.39grendal_primewhats the image and the....os?
05:15.02grendal_primeyou can fill that bad boy up to the top if you get the entire package along with the entire kernel
05:15.19grendal_primeits only 64 megs
05:15.40grendal_primemove it all to n sd...thats what i did
05:16.00grendal_primei got 512 megs of ram to work with basically
05:25.18grendal_primesmart guy...
05:25.23grendal_primei am doing something about it..
05:25.33StarKruzr3.5.3
05:25.45grendal_primei swithed over 30 of my computers over to linux
05:25.47StarKruzrwait a minute
05:25.52StarKruzryou asked me what OS it was?
05:26.05grendal_primesorry talking something different StarKruzr
05:26.06StarKruzrit's OpenZaurus 3.5.3 on an SL-5500.
05:26.10StarKruzroh, okay.
05:26.28grendal_primesorry....ok StarKruzr  did you install opie or gpe?
05:26.40StarKruzropie.
05:26.46StarKruzralthough, had the same problem with gpe.
05:27.12grendal_primewhat image did you install?
05:27.48StarKruzrsomeone theorized that when you flash it actually doesn't wipe out the root flash and that cruft from previous installations might somehow be in there (with dereferenced inodes?  hell if I know what he was talking about)
05:27.54StarKruzryou mean the ram-storage split?
05:28.01StarKruzrlemme see
05:28.06grendal_primeya
05:28.37grendal_primethat bit about the inode sounds to me like.....well i dont see that happening
05:28.52StarKruzrthat didn't make any sense to me.
05:29.07StarKruzrwiping out the filesystem and starting over kind of seems to me like the point of reflashing
05:29.49sheepbatthat's right, kruzr
05:29.52grendal_primeya...and its pretty straight forward....bammo....there aint nothing left
05:30.00sheepbat(about it not wiping out stuff from previous installs)
05:30.06sheepbata reflash doesn't modify the partition split
05:30.14StarKruzro_O
05:30.14sheepbatthere's a split between the root partition and the user
05:30.26sheepbatand the stuff in the user split doesn't get erased
05:30.30StarKruzrbut every time you reflash you have the potential to change the split between ram and storage.
05:30.43StarKruzris there any way to wipe it out clean and start from scratch?
05:30.48sheepbatNAND flash
05:31.14sheepbatit's the best way, as that *will* change the root/user partition split to original
05:31.15StarKruzrokay, the last two times I rebooted, when it tried to start Opie it said "bus error" and left me in text mode.
05:31.19StarKruzrcrap.
05:31.37grendal_primeewww
05:33.15grendal_primehey sheepbat i also stoped working on windows machines some time ago..after a ms rep tried explaining to me that even though i wrote a tracking application for the company i was working for at the time...that even the company didnt own it..technically it belonged to microsoft becuse i used there iis server and activex control creations suite to create it
05:33.43sheepbatsounds.. possible
05:33.54sheepbatMicrosoft can have some *really* nasty licenses
05:33.59StarKruzrheh
05:33.59grendal_primeit was the most screwd up thing i had ever heard
05:34.03StarKruzrstill nothing like Sony's :p
05:34.08sheepbatI'm not sure if it's there now..
05:34.39sheepbat..but the XP SP1 and Windows Media Player ones had this clause letting them install whatever they wanted on your system at their discretion
05:35.48StarKruzrwhat the hell does "Bus error" mean?
05:36.07sheepbatsomeone forgot to press the clutch while shifting
05:36.21StarKruzrheh
05:36.32grendal_primewell...it was pretty damn funny.  Im 37 years old..ive been using computers since i was 10 (father worked for sulvania).  I am 100% self taught.  I was in a confference call with an ms lisc. rep and he was explaining (or trying to anyway) what we needed to buy to be 100% compliant.
05:36.57grendal_primehehee
05:37.19StarKruzrchrist.  I really don't want to have a hardware problem on this thing right when I was going to eBay it
05:37.57grendal_primewell i got fed up..and i said.."well what if i decide to not do any of this and just rewire my application to work without the additional liscenses?
05:38.08StarKruzrheh
05:38.12grendal_primehe resoponded by saying..."We will pull your certification"
05:38.15StarKruzrMS doesn't like it when their customers say things like that
05:38.48grendal_primeeverone in the room looked at each other..there were two other techs...certified..they started shaking there hands..like.."cut this off now"  I looked at my boss and shruged
05:38.59grendal_prime"What certification?"
05:39.27grendal_primeYou are not certified?
05:39.38grendal_primeNope
05:39.51grendal_primeHow do you justify your income?
05:39.58grendal_primeliterally he asked that
05:40.15StarKruzrthat's when you pull out your resume and point to the actual work experience
05:40.19grendal_primemy boss said.."well its pretty simple we give him the work...he gets it done..we pay him"
05:40.43StarKruzrwhat an amazingly arrogant ass.
05:41.17StarKruzranyways.  anyone have a clue as to how I can fix my root partition?
05:43.07sheepbathmm.. a reformat's not part of the standard install...
05:45.11StarKruzrthere's just so much crap in there.
05:45.22StarKruzrI would be okay with deleting stuff if I knew where to look.

09:55.52wibbitGood morning All
09:56.09wibbitI've been trying to install OpenZaurus, and succeded once, but had a problem and want to re-do it.
09:56.51wibbitI am using an SD card, which worked originally, but after re-formating the card under linux (mkfs.vfat /dev/sdc1), the Zaurus, would appear to no longer acknowledge the card.
09:59.10wibbitDoes any one have any idea's?
09:59.40XorA5500 used to require the right kind of FAT
10:00.00wibbitThat's what i was thinking the problem may be

11:01.07wibbithrw|work, done
11:19.42wibbitQuick question, we have OpenZaurus, but we also have GPE, how do these things work together?
11:20.00wibbitShould I be looking to get updates for GPE directly from them, or from OpenZaurus?
11:21.20XorAwibbit: openzaurus/GPE has its feeds in same places as OZ/Opie
11:23.55hrw|workgpe and opie projects does not release packages
11:24.08wibbitXorA, that's the impression I got, as looking in the ipkg config files, it points to openzaurus, and not GPE. So, does openzaurus, publish a development build?
11:24.33_law_koen, so this is only a problem with the .bb file?
11:24.34wibbitSimilar to (if your familiar with fedora), the fedora base, and fedora dev repositories.
11:24.37wibbitIf that makes sense?
11:24.42XorAwibbit: there is a 3.5.4-RC1 build somewhere
11:24.54XorAwibbit: but there is no official dev repo
11:25.11wibbitXorA, Yup, I'm running that build...
11:25.14XorAwibbit: I used to provide one for GPE but after HD crash I ran out of diskspace
11:25.27hrw|workwibbit: OZ repo can get over 0.5G so its hard to release such thing
11:25.32XorAwibbit: maybe if I feel generous Ill serve it from my company
11:25.35wibbitXorA, So, if I file bug reports with GPE, and they say "fixed in latest development package" how would I get that?
11:25.50hrw|workwibbit: usually we handle it via upgrades feed
11:25.55XorAwibbit: currently setup your own bb/oe build environment
11:26.51wibbitXorA, wouldn't even know where to start doing that :\
11:27.02XorAnext month I should be able to afford to replace my dead drive and have diskspace again
11:27.25wibbitXorA, I may have to wait untill you do that.
11:27.33wibbitXorA, I may be able to do some thing for you.
11:29.23XorAIm moving house in two weeks as well, so Ill be offline for 1.5 weeks while I wait for new ADSL connection
11:30.28wibbitThat's exactly the position I'm in at the moment :)
11:31.58lardman|workwibbit: The confusion arises because the iPAQ lot (familiar as opposed to openzaurus) still use hard-float for their builds

11:32.58lardman|workwibbit: The last link which koen gave in #gpe - the sfeed one (note the s for soft-loat) should work for you
11:33.12lardman|works/loat/float
11:34.03wibbitlardman|work, So from a development perspective, I may be better off replacing the gpe-feed.conf detail with koen's?
11:38.04lardman|workwibbit: There's no need to replace it, you could add koen's as an extra feed (create a new conf file - koen-sfeed.conf for example) and then ipkg will take the newest package it can find from both feeds
11:39.22wibbitlardman|work, That probably makes significantly more sense
11:39.57lardman|workand I've only had one coffee today - I think that may be a record.

15:24.52lardman|workabout what? gaim?
15:28.05lardman|workdo you have your Z connected to the web? can you pastebin those error messages, etc.?
15:29.08wibbitlardman|work, ahh no, scroll up a little I had another "issue"
15:30.07lardman|workah, login prompt?
15:30.23lardman|workdid you pull the battery out too?
15:30.47lardman|workIf not I would do so (wait 10 sec) then reboot
15:31.24lardman|workFYI ctrl-alt-del will kill gpe-dm and drop you to the login screen for the next time something locks up (though I've never seen this before I must add)
15:32.11wibbitlardman|work, that's handy to know (I just re-installed), erm, which button is the alt button :o)
15:32.30lardman|workthe two japanese buttons are ctrl & alt
15:32.37lardman|worknear the fn button
15:32.55lardman|workbottom left hand corner
15:33.26wibbitSo what is the CTRL button?
15:33.36lardman|workthe left-most of the two
15:33.50wibbitno I mean, what is the button with "Ctrl" written on it
15:33.54hrw|workcxx00 has separate Ctrl key
15:33.58lardman|workOh
15:34.01lardman|workno idea then
15:34.04wibbit:o)
15:34.06wibbitokie
15:34.09wibbitI'll play
15:34.14lardman|workperhaps that's mapped to ctrl - have a look in /etc/keymap*
15:34.16hrw|workFn, Ctrl, JapL, JapR, Space (iirc)
15:34.50lardman|workWhat's JapL & JapR? Left & Right? Which one is mapped to Alt then?

15:35.23kakosQuick question for someone in the know: does the Belkin F8T020 Bluetooth Card work with OZ?
15:35.35sheepbatyou mean "kana" and "half/full"?
15:38.05hrw|worksheepbat: for me they are JapLeft, JapRight as I never used them for something other then Ctrl/Alt
15:38.12hrw|workkakos: fast answer: should work
15:38.29XorAhrw|work: based on what?
15:38.36lardman|workwibbit: I think that means that what I said holds true, the two Jap keys are Ctrl & Alt
15:38.53lardman|workwibbit: Try them and see....
15:39.36kakoshrw: When you say "should", in what cases would it not work?
15:39.48kakosOr is there some little caveat that makes you unsure
15:39.56kakosOr are you just being safe?
15:40.01lardman|workhe doesn't have one...?
15:40.01hrw|workkakos: ops - I'm not sure now
15:40.13hrw|workchecked my base and did not found it
15:40.17XorAhrw|work: only reports I find on zug say it dont work
15:40.36XorAhrw|work: they are dirt cheap in uk, but I dont want to waste money on non working card :-(

18:05.57mimecar_copy to another folder ?
18:06.03grendal_primestill pounding away at that are ya?
18:06.07StarKruzrcopy *what* to another folder though?
18:06.17StarKruzryeah I honestly have no idea how to fix this.
18:06.19mimecar_contents of root ?
18:06.19grendal_primemimecar, by the way the root from sd is working really nice
18:06.39StarKruzrI want to wipe it out, not save it.
18:06.42StarKruzrhere
18:06.42grendal_primemimecar..he aparently has some sort of partion weridout thing going on
18:06.55mimecar_I had some problems with opie :(
18:07.01grendal_primeneeds to basically lowlevel format the thing to factory specifics
18:07.21mimecar_StarKruzr: root system is on internal flash or on sd ?
18:07.22grendal_primemimecar_ not me man its screamming along just fine here
18:07.34grendal_primehe is on internal i believe
18:07.50StarKruzrguess what: it isn't just me
18:07.55grendal_primehey mimecar again thanks for all the help...also you mentioned a pim that you prefer
18:08.09mimecar_for opie, Ko/pi is interesting
18:08.09StarKruzrhttp://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?s=dfd39e460b983be23972efa2a5d3e8a6&showtopic=16093
18:08.21grendal_primeko/pi
18:08.31grendal_primehmm
18:08.39StarKruzrwow, this is terrific.  the answer is, "yup, it's broken, suck it"
18:09.16grendal_primekeep it and just move the stuff to an sd card...screw the broken 64 megs of internal
18:09.48StarKruzr"just" move the stuff to an sd card
18:09.49StarKruzrheh
18:09.56grendal_primespeaking of wich mimecar i forgot about the fact that i have 64 megs of ram i could use there..how much of that can i wipe out?
18:10.17grendal_primei just need the kernel and the bootloader scripts right?
18:10.54mimecar_StarKruzr: that topic on oe is the problem ?
18:11.51StarKruzryup
18:12.03grendal_primemimecar, i get nothing when i search for ko/pi
18:12.16mimecar_ipkg install kopi
18:12.18mimecar_:P
18:12.32grendal_primewhy the slash?
18:12.47mimecar_StarKruzr: internal memory on zaurus is poor
18:12.56StarKruzrapparently.
18:13.12StarKruzrbut apparently there has been a HUGE amount of bloat in OZ
18:13.20StarKruzrbecause I didn't have this problem in older versions of it
18:13.30mimecar_you should not update and upgrade directly
18:13.39mimecar_do you have a SD card ?
18:13.41StarKruzrdefine "directly"
18:13.44StarKruzryeah
18:14.00StarKruzra 32MB one
18:14.08grendal_primemime is that the one that is installed by defaut?
18:14.23mimecar_well
18:14.29mimecar_you have different kernel images on zaurus
18:14.32mimecar_for example 32-32
18:14.49mimecar_one of the numbers, is the RAM memory for programas
18:14.51grendal_primei explained this to him last night.
18:14.59grendal_primeor i tried anyway
18:15.03StarKruzrif it's going to be broken from the outset someone should really make a note of the fact that flashing your Z to OZ 3.5.3 will make it unusable without putting root on an SD card.
18:15.10mimecar_the other number is the "hard disk memory", ie, you can install programas on it
18:15.22StarKruzrI understand this.
18:15.25mimecar_ok
18:15.36mimecar_is you use 32-32, you won't have space problem
18:15.45StarKruzrincorrect.
18:15.59mimecar_you'll have 32 MB
18:16.11mimecar_if zaurus use that space and not internal flash
18:16.15StarKruzryou can't install anything at all because the changes that ipkg makes to its own database and the changes it makes to /etc fill up the *root* partition.
18:16.27StarKruzrand root lives on internal flash (14MB or whatever it is)
18:16.33grendal_primeare you sure you have the right image...because its easy to get a different one
18:16.38StarKruzrpositive.
18:16.43grendal_primewhen you rename it...ok just checking
18:16.46mimecar_you can install programas on ram
18:17.01mimecar_StarKruzr: all update information is store on flash (I think)
18:17.14mimecar_you can create a link which points to SD or ram memory
18:17.16StarKruzrmimecar_: you sure can.  however it still makes changes to /etc and updates its package database someplace in root rather than someplace in ram.
18:17.23mimecar_then all the filles will go to the correct place
18:17.29grendal_primeit shouldnt
18:17.31mimecar_ok
18:17.40mimecar_the best thing for sl-5500
18:17.42mimecar_is move to sd
18:17.45StarKruzrright.
18:17.50StarKruzrsomeone should say that explicitly.
18:17.55grendal_prime?
18:17.56grendal_primedude
18:18.00StarKruzrit's nowhere in the wiki
18:18.05StarKruzror in any other documentation
18:18.05grendal_primewhat were you using before?
18:18.12StarKruzrOZ 3.2.
18:18.26grendal_primeand why are you not still using it?
18:18.36StarKruzrwhich had something like 8MB of space in root.
18:18.41StarKruzrbecause you can't get it anymore.
18:18.55mimecar_StarKruzr: you have many programs installed on collie
18:19.02mimecar_calendar, address, file manager..
18:19.09StarKruzrmhm
18:19.16mimecar_if you store all the program you'll get more size
18:19.18grendal_primenobody is forcing you to use an opensource alt are they?
18:19.51mimecar_StarKruzr: with move to sd script you can have 512 MB on zaurus for all your programs and dat
18:20.03mimecar_and it's more secure vs errors
18:20.06StarKruzrgrendal_prime: all I'm saying is that someone should make mention of the fact that you have to take extra steps to use OZ 3.5.3 on a 5500.
18:20.17mimecar_that's true
18:20.29StarKruzri.e. the installation directions should be changed.
18:20.48mimecar_peopple should install programs on ram (not internal flash)
18:21.03mimecar_wait
18:21.04StarKruzrmimecar_: of course.  or SD
18:21.28mimecar_http://openzaurus.org/wordpress/howto/root-on-sd/
18:21.35StarKruzrexcellent.
18:21.39mimecar_you'll move FULL system to sd
18:21.45StarKruzrfine by me.
18:21.56mimecar_you'll forget all problems with ipkg-link, space...
18:22.09mimecar_you can use different roms with this system
18:22.32mimecar_grendal_prime: did your wifi card work with wep encryptation ?
18:22.35StarKruzrby "different roms" you mean what exactly?
18:23.01StarKruzralso, I'd want to keep some portion of RAM aside for a tmpfs partition
18:23.28mimecar_for example
18:23.32mimecar_Opie and GPE
18:23.58mimecar_on the same card, you can choose systen at boot
18:24.17StarKruzrah.  that would be nice.
18:25.06mimecar_is not a dificult process
18:25.19mimecar_but it should a good idea backup all your data first
18:25.50StarKruzrno data to back up :p
18:25.55mimecar_xDD
18:26.00mimecar_similar to grendal_prime :p
18:26.19StarKruzrI note that someone in the thread you linked me had the same problem I'm having
18:26.27StarKruzr"Charlie Wilkins"
18:26.32mimecar_on the root-to-sd ?
18:26.52StarKruzryes

18:27.06mimecar_with the data he says
18:27.12mimecar_process doesn't work
18:27.21mimecar_after install you must see after df
18:27.31mimecar_<PROTECTED>
18:27.53mimecar_<PROTECTED>
18:28.04mimecar_I must go out, I'll enter at 22:00
18:28.17mimecar_if you have some question, write it
18:28.26grendal_primeStarKruzr, it works ive done it with both opie and gpe and...also with two different kernels
18:28.32mimecar_after reboot with the full ptovrdd
18:28.37mimecar_process
18:28.48mimecar_you must see /dev/loop0
18:28.54grendal_primebiggest thing (and by the way mimecar...the problem i had was that i had not formated the sd card...do that first
18:29.02grendal_primeeven if you know its formated corectly
18:29.05grendal_primedo it anyway
18:29.15mimecar_no write (ipkg update)without that device
18:29.28mimecar_see you later

18:34.53StarKruzra couple people have mentioned that Opie's package manager has a bad habit of crapping the bed
18:35.16StarKruzrbut I guess you don't need it if you can just use ipkg and don't need to mess around with ipkg-link anymore
18:35.35StarKruzripkg takes care of dependency management and everything else by itself
