01:43.33darmouwhen I turn the zaurus on it has  a black screen.
01:44.03darmoupressing the on button does not do anything at all, is it just the battery needs to recharge before turning it on again?
01:44.06darmouI have a 3100
01:44.23darmouIt was working fine last night before I shut the lid
01:44.40NAbyssdarmou: Might be, yes... put it on the charger for 20 min then attempt a boot
01:44.54darmouok thanks NAbyss
01:45.20darmouis the charger for the 5500 compatible with the c3100
01:45.22NAbyssAlso, it might be just that the backlight's turned off; try hitting a few keys/tapping the screen
01:45.31NAbyssNo idea, I've only got a 3100
01:45.47NAbyssIf the 5500's charger provides 5v @ 1A though, it should be the same.
01:47.08darmouyes the specs did look the same, ok it works now, just needed to be charged I think
01:47.38darmouthanks for your help much relieved

01:48.00darmouI only bought it yesterday:)
01:48.24darmouI'm using gpe and can't get sound on the 3100 NAbyss any ideas?
01:48.46NAbyssNo idea, I don't use gpe
01:48.56darmoucat mywav.wav > /dev audio works but can't play music
01:49.09NAbyssI'd suggest installing another audio player
01:49.12darmouwell I reflashed in opie, same problem
01:49.23darmouI've tried lots of audio players:(
01:49.33NAbyssHm, no idea then..
01:49.39darmouI think it may be more fundamental problem
01:50.02darmouwhat should the hd partitions look life for the z?
01:50.23NAbyssShould be 3 partitions, IIRC... one root, one /home, and one /media/hdd
01:51.46NAbyssI've got mine setup like this:

01:58.32darmouI wonder if it's the 2.6 kernel that has the sound problems?  No I would have thought it would have been reported

02:11.07jncdarmou: you might have the suspend/resume problem
02:11.35jnci have a problem with openzaurus kernel and my C3000
02:12.26jncif left suspended for more than 3-4 minutes, sometimes 20 minutes even, the device goes into a bad state
02:12.44jncto get it back i must remove all power and use the reset button
02:13.17jncreportedly it has only happened to my C3000, not other people's C3000
02:13.39jncdarmou: please do some testing to discover the cause of your C3100's trouble and let me know
02:14.30NAbyssjnc: I've had that issue before with my 3100
02:15.01NAbyssI can't be more specific than that... it's very much a sporadic problem
02:18.46darmouok thanks jnc but no probs reported with sound?
02:19.19darmouThanks NAbyss for that info about your setup
02:19.35darmouok I'll do some googleing about how sound works in linux

05:53.42ashikaseany idea what I'm doing wrong?
05:53.49ashikaseor does libqte depend on another lib?

09:32.48CoreDump|homecrap
09:34.12XorA~lart gtk+
09:34.58XorAalsa gtk blocks the on screen buttons, try using the ts buttons while in gnumeric :-(
09:35.57CoreDump|homewell, we are not even running at 200, only at 160 heh
09:36.14XorACoreDump|home: we are?
09:36.22CoreDump|homeyeah
09:36.29CoreDump|homepb suggested it
09:37.09CoreDump|homescaling Xft.dpi to a point where default font sizes work was a lot easier than patching the living hell out of a bazillion apps =)
09:37.29XorAwhere is Xft.dpi?
09:37.47CoreDump|home/etc/X11/Xdefaults
09:38.16XorAhmm, isnt in mine
09:38.31CoreDump|homethat was the original problem btw. Xft.dpi was set to 100, causing the font problems we were seeing...
09:41.03CoreDump|homeare you running .dev?
09:41.30CoreDump|homemaybe i didn't push it there yet
09:41.55XorACoreDump|home: yes, and it doesnt appear to be in repo
09:42.32CoreDump|homexserver-common IIRC
09:43.28XorACoreDump|home: yeah, just checked, there is a -Xft.dpi: 100 but no + in the patch
09:43.50CoreDump|homewill have a look later
09:43.53XorA-dpi 200, Xft.dpi 200 is spannered here :-(
09:45.44XorA-dpi 200, Xft.dpi 100 works better for me
09:47.19CoreDump|homeonly because your fonts settings are adjusted for 100DPI
09:47.32CoreDump|homeset the font-size to "7" and set 160 DPI
09:50.06hrw|workhttp://www.hrw.one.pl/donations/ - what do you think about layout?
09:50.18XorACoreDump|home: I have to set font font size of 5 to be reasonable, and gnumeric is unusable
09:51.14CoreDump|homehrw|work: looks good!
09:51.31CoreDump|homeXorA: ahh, 5 is ok,too. A matter of taste I thing ;)
09:51.43XorACoreDump|home: at 7 I can read screen from 100 yards :-)
09:52.01CoreDump|homelol
09:52.31XorACoreDump|home: I think im sticking with the "wrong" values for now, but Ill leave .dev alone as hopefully the graphical mess will prompt someone to figure out the key
09:52.36XorAsecret of font magic

09:53.10hrw|worklaaarge
09:53.44CoreDump|homehuh?
09:53.58CoreDump|homethat's where "taste" comes in heh
09:55.04hrw|work'Calculator' should be visible
09:55.28CoreDump|homea smaller setting makes my eyes hurt :(
09:55.40XorAhttp://handhelds.org/scap/port.27765.png
09:55.59CoreDump|homeouch
09:56.18hrw|workthats good size (prefer Sans anyway)
09:56.41CoreDump|homeguys, If you want to set the default size to that go ahead, I'm the last person to complain heh
09:56.59CoreDump|homebut jesus, that's too darn small for my taste lol
09:57.07XorACoreDump|home: it makes little difference as there is obviously a problem in gtk+ somewhere with font sizes :-(
09:57.26CoreDump|homeXorA: w/ font-size 8 in gnumeric the size is about right
10:01.39CoreDump|homehttp://handhelds.org/scap/port.28156.png
10:02.25XorACoreDump|home: the problem is that the cell in gnumeric should grow with the font size, it doesnt because something is fscked in the rendering
10:02.47CoreDump|homeahh now I understand

13:18.07darmouone more thing has anyone used ipkg-link mount?  I can't seem to get it to work, worked fine for 5500 but I can't seem to add packages using alpha1
13:18.12bronsonI've never understood Alsa's everything muted by default fetish.
13:18.59bronsonEverything at 50% would make sense.  Or even 20%.  But TONS of people get tripped up by some obscure control being at 80% and muted.
13:19.33bronsonAnyhow.  :)
13:19.40darmoubronson is there a graphical alsamixer?
13:19.47bronsonFor Z?  I don't know.
13:19.58bronsonI haven't gotten sound working on my 5500 yet.  Still on the todo list.
13:20.13darmouhrwlwork I have my packages installed in /mnt/card/packages/
13:20.32darmoudo I need to solt link to get ipkg-link to know where they are?
13:21.03hrw|workipkg-link mount /mnt/card/packages/ iirc
13:22.19darmouhrwlwork that just prints out a usage
13:22.59darmouipkg-link mount /mnt/card/packages/

13:23.41darmouSo it's finding the package list but can't seem to find them
13:24.56darmoufor collie ipkg-link mount /mnt/card works fine, I'm not sure it anything has changed for the 3100 release but it's very stange

13:26.56hrw|workCoreDump|home: you updated ipkg-link recently...
13:27.40CoreDump|homethat shouldn't be the cause of that message as it only affects "lib*" files
13:30.05lardman|workdarmou: make sure the mount point exists in /etc/ipkg.conf
13:31.18darmoulardman|work what should the line be to add the sd card mount point?
13:31.39lardman|workdarmou: what do you have in there by way of dest lines?

13:36.09dj_segfaulthrw|work: (side note) For unknowable reasons, after speaking to you yesterday, I uninstalled alsa, and sound started working after the next reboot.  So my only remaining issue is the lockup on pressing suspend.  Everything else works.
13:37.31hrw|work~blame sharp
13:37.32ibotACTION blames sharp for all the evil in the world
13:37.44hrw|work~curse lineo too
13:37.46ibotMay the fleas of a thousand camels infest your most sensitive regions, lineo too !
13:38.35hrw|worktime to write some posts for oz.org
13:38.36dj_segfaulthrw|work: Oh trust me, I know where it started.  That, and collie's proprietary sd driver holding us back to a 2.4 kernel.
13:38.55hrw|workdj_segfault: I blame sharp+lineo from time to time
13:39.09darmoudj_segfault any progress with an open sd driver for collie?
13:39.21bronsonOr, as a stopgap, has anyone looked at shimming the sd driver?
13:40.06hrw|workshimming?
13:40.09dj_segfaultdarmou: I'm not a kernel developer or even an OZ developer, but not as far as I know.  It's a proprietary chip being used in a bizzare way.
13:40.26bronsonI suppose the data structures would get pretty hard to shim.
13:40.32dj_segfaultbronson: You mean putting a wrapper around it, like ndiswrapper?
13:40.39bronsondj_segfault, exactly.
13:40.52hrw|workwhen tosa/2.6 will be working fully then maybe we will get someone working on sd for collie/2.6
13:41.19dj_segfaultIs tosa 5600?
13:41.41bronsonSlide a layer in to translate requests from the crappy driver to proper 2.6 calls.
13:41.45NAbyss~tosa
13:41.46ibotwell, tosa is the Sharp SL-6000 PDA, or a dog (see http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/tosa.htm)
13:42.15bronsonhrw|work, is sd the only major problem holding up 2.6 for Collie?
13:42.20dj_segfaultAs I understand it, only the 5500 (and 5000) use this chip in this twisted and evil way.
13:42.52hrw|workbronson: no
13:43.01hrw|work5600 is poodle
13:43.18hrw|workbronson: it lack charge control and some other stuff
13:43.37hrw|workone day I will boot 2.6.16 on collie to check how it looks
13:43.40NAbyssdammit, why can't the SD specs just be open? </rhetorical-rant>
13:44.03bronsonWow.  Sounds like it's still a big project.
13:44.14hrw|work~locomo
13:44.16ibotmethinks locomo is a completely undocumented chip in the Sharp Zaurus
13:44.25hrw|workand locomo suxx due to that
13:44.43NAbysshrw|work: sharp won't provide anything?
13:45.03hrw|workNAbyss: exactly
13:45.39dj_segfault... And, as I said, it's being misused at that.  From what I've heard, the chip is capable of using all channels, and it is Sharp's use of the chip that limits the number of channels used, ruining performance and limiting the kinds of devices that can go in there.
13:46.21NAbyssMakes you wonder why they don't just acquiesce.. it's not like they haven't sold the hardware.
13:47.51CoreDump|homeyay, alboot plays a low-volume beep on alsa systems during boot now
13:48.18dj_segfaultThere is no possible way for them to make more money from the 5500, so they have nothing to lose by giving out the info.  On the other hand, they have nothing to gain by giving it out.  They would be exposing the extent of their stupidity.  And it's not like they need to preserve their perceived goodwill towards the 5500 users ;)
13:48.47hrw|workdj_segfault: get contact(s) at Sharp Japan and provide docs ;)
13:48.48CoreDump|homethey've probably licensed the IP from somebody.
13:49.06darmouIs there an rc file for mini browser?  And some doco to configure it?
13:49.17NAbyssdj_segfault: True, true.. never underestimate the power of embarassment
13:50.48darmouNAbyss especiall in Japan, you all that avoid losing face stuff
13:51.14darmoumini-browser = gpe-mini-browser

13:59.17lardman|workhrw|work: Regarding the numerous threads, if people can start writing docs and pulling out the useful info then it won;t matter so much
13:59.32lardman|workas only new threads will be relevant at all
13:59.44hrw|workyep
14:00.29lardman|workI must admit the forum is getting a bit too unwieldy for my liking now - so many similar topics, pretty hard to find what I want to even knowing who poasted things and with good search terms
14:00.47lardman|works/poasted/posted
14:01.14hrw|worktoo much noise
14:02.51lardman|workyeah, that's life though
14:04.10bronsonIs there a name for the SL-5000/5500/5600 form factor?
14:04.30lardman|workportrait?
14:04.33bronson(trying to organize the wiki; don't want to duplicate discussion on the keyboard and CF slot limitations on each page)
14:04.52bronsonSo the Zaurus has two main form factors: portrait and clamshell?
14:05.00darmouAhh that damn suspend/resume problem happened again, fortunatly I remembered the "press the reset key to fix" workaround
14:05.15lardman|workyep, though I'm not sure how much is shared between models with a given screen orientation
14:05.21darmouThe first time it happed I thought something awful had happened to the Z
14:05.49lardman|workbronson: is this the berlios wiki?
14:05.58bronsonlardman|work, yep
14:05.59CoreDump|homeuh oh, "4 revs" out. I wonder what I just pushed...
14:06.08lardman|workdarmou: yesh, the horrible white-out happening
14:06.21lardman|workbronson: Is there an URL?
14:06.23bronsonlardman|work, I'm just trying to get some skeleton pages up there for organization before announcing it.
14:06.30lardman|workbronson: Cool :)
14:06.40bronsonlardman|work, http://openzaurus.berlios.de/wiki/
14:06.51bronsonBut beware, I've spent all of 5 minutes filling it in so far.  :)
14:07.03hrw|workbronson: please move /wiki/ to /
14:07.12bronsonhrw|work, I know, I know...  :)
14:07.39bronsonIt means editing some config files.  I'll do it before this hour is up.
14:07.43lardman|workbronson: Stick in a top level Documentation link (would HowTos go under that?) and a FAQ link
14:08.08bronsonokey dokey
14:08.18lardman|workbronson: If you just plan to list the models I'd  not bother breaking them up, just stick up a list, there aren't that many
14:08.35hrw|workbronson: can I get mainpage and fill models?
14:08.59bronsonhrw|work, just a sec.
14:09.11hrw|workoka
14:09.40lardman|workI wonder whether the structure should be to spilt the howtos by model (which I think will require duplication of work), or have specific subsections in each HowTo?
14:09.46lardman|workThe former is done here: http://www.oesf.org/index.php?title=Zaurus_How-To_Docs
14:10.01hrw|work/HowTo/WPA
14:10.15hrw|work/HowTo/USB-Networking
14:10.29hrw|workI would use that style
14:10.34lardman|workAgreed
14:10.52hrw|workOZ is OZ nevermind which model it use - only kernel release matter
14:11.22lardman|workYes, perhaps a table listing things that do or don't work with a given kernel for each machine might be a way to go
14:11.29hrw|work/HowTo/USB-Networking/Zaurus-2.4 /HowTo/USB-Networking/Zaurus-2.6 would be overkill but you got idea
14:11.47lardman|workPulling together the current pages on the c7x0, cx000, 6k, 2.6.x status etc

14:23.07hrw|workhmm.. do we need copying info about models?
14:23.18CoreDump|homegrrr why isn't there a man or info page for "set" on debian
14:24.11hrw|workCoreDump|home: 'set' is part of bash - man bash
14:24.18hrw|workCoreDump|home: of better: pinfo bash ;)
14:24.23CoreDump|homeahh thanks!
14:24.34hrw|workbronson: I would rather provide OZ infos for models
14:24.50bronsonhrw|work, I don't understand?
14:26.10hrw|workhttp://openzaurus.berlios.de/wiki/index.php/Collie contain technical data. I would rather add info which kernel is used, how much flash is available for user, from which OZ version it is supported
14:26.16hrw|workthat kind of info
14:26.44hrw|workbronson: pure Zaurus stuff let exist in oesf wiki
14:27.06bronsonI wasn't sure how to handle that info...  That will change every time a new OZ is released.
14:27.25bronsonOK, stats go in OESF wiki.
14:27.45bronsonI'd hate to have to update 16+ Wiki pages every time a new OZ is spun.
14:28.41hrw|workbronson: I will create C7x0 page now to show what I meant
14:28.43bronsonIs there a dog name for the SL-5000?  Is it also a Collie?
14:28.51bronsonhrw|work, hang on.

14:30.29lardman|workoops, wrong person

14:30.46hrw|workbronson: yes
14:30.48hrw|work~collie
14:30.49ibotmethinks collie is sharp sl-5500 and sl-5000d, or a dog
14:31.13hrw|work5000/5500 - 5000d and 5500g are nicknames rather then model names

14:31.51bronsonIs there a way to get ibot to dump everything he knows?  :)
14:31.58hrw|workdont know

14:32.39webmindthanks :)
14:33.11webmindis the naming scheme from sharp or from OpenZaurus ?
14:34.26hrw|worksharp
14:34.34hrw|workwebmind: look in /proc/cpuinfo
14:35.53lardman|workthough the collie does have two variants that are different in their RAM sizes

14:37.08lardman|workok, stick to collie then ;)
14:37.17hrw|workbronson: never read CC license...
14:37.22lardman|workI'm not bothered, don't know much about licences
14:37.34bronsonOK, I'll use CC for now.  That seems to be the most accepted.
14:37.37hrw|workwhat is wrong in pure GPLv2?
14:37.58bronsonhrw|work, it's really hard to apply to docs.  Leaves all sorts of legal loopholes.
14:38.04hrw|workaha
14:38.20CoreDump|homeI wonder if one can use collies piezo as speaker with OZ kernel?
14:38.20bronsonThat's why they created the Gnu FDL.
14:39.03bronsonProblem is, the FDL is not generally considered very free.
14:39.09ashikaseOZ uses /etc/init.d/keymap to change the keymap, right? If that is not called, will the keys default to Sharp's original values? Basically, I want to reenable the Japanese keys
14:39.13hrw|workCoreDump|home: proper patch is in OE but not applied
14:39.24CoreDump|homei see
14:39.29hrw|workashikase: they default to kernel keymap
14:39.35hrw|workCoreDump|home: comment is in recipe
14:39.48ashikasehrw|work: that much I understand, but what is the default keymap?
14:40.15hrw|workashikase: clamshells does not default to japanese as 2.6 is made by english speakers
14:40.22hrw|workashikase: anyway feel free to edit keymap
14:40.26CoreDump|homehrw|work: I'd be enough if I could make the thing beep

14:40.55ashikasehrm... anyone know off hand where I can find what values I need to set for the Japanese keys?
14:41.08hrw|workashikase: boot 2.4 kernel and run showkey

16:54.27lardman|workah, or I could just edit the wiki I suppose
16:56.46lardman|workhmm. I see it's on the todo
16:57.19lardman|workbronson: ping
16:57.53bronsonhola lardman.
16:57.58bronsonEverything's broken righ tnow.
16:58.03lardman|workright :)
16:58.07bronsonI'm making short URLs.
16:58.07lardman|workI was wondering ;)
16:58.18bronsonI'll be done soon.  Just wrestling with mod_rewrite.

17:29.46bronsonOh man I'm ready to STRANGLE firefox.
17:42.33bronsonWow that was painful.
17:43.38bronsonBoth the MediaWiki and Firefox caches were lying to me.
17:44.19bronsonAnd I guess berlios's database machine is just being hammered right now.
17:44.44bronsonOh well, I think that I've fixed everything.
17:45.08bronsonIf you find any page with broken links, editing it and immediately saving it should fix things.

18:32.17bronsonOK, as far as I can tell, the wiki works 100%.
18:32.39bronsonNow it's time to add content.   ... somehow without creating a mess.  :)

19:18.15dhrI procrastinate so much.  I haven't flashed my 6000 with 3.5.4.  How soon will 3.5.4.1 be ready?  Will it be different/better enough to be worth waiting some more?
19:32.27bronsonlardman|work, hrw|gone: I hope you guys will edit http://openzaurus.berlios.de/Style_Guide
19:32.40bronsonBlow away anything in there that you don't agree with.
19:34.55JustinPdhr: 3.5.4.1 is for the clammshells

20:42.21redguyhowdy, is there a ncurses frontend to ipkg? something similar to aptitude perhaps?
20:43.06bronsonredguy, I haven't heard of one.
20:43.07bronsonWhy?
20:43.51redguybronson: erm, why am I asking?
20:44.05bronsonright.  how is the graphical deficient?
20:44.34redguybronson: well, you don't have it in the bootstrap image
20:45.25bronsonah, true.
20:45.32bronsonThe command line isn't hard to use though.
20:45.46redguydepends on how many packages you want to install :-)
20:46.02redguygot another question though
20:46.11redguydoes OPIE use an X server?
20:49.15CoreDump|homeredguy: nope
20:50.41redguyCoreDump|home: hrmm, so it can't run X apps like dillo2 for example?
20:50.41CoreDump|homecorrect
20:50.43CoreDump|homefor X you'd need GPE

21:18.16JustinPbronson: the graphical installers are deficient in that they have mmemory leaks....and other problems...

21:59.21redguyJustinP: so is there a ncurses installer?
22:05.03JustinPredguy: no
22:05.12JustinPwe pretty much all use the command-line ipkg
22:05.43redguyI can use it as well actually
22:05.58redguybut have a couple of questions regarding it
22:06.40redguyis it normal for ipkg search not finding packages (not working at all it seems)
