00:16.20precurserhi all
00:17.12precurserI've just installed various roms on my sl-6000l and finally settled on the 3.5.4 openzaurus
00:17.29precurserdue to the wpa support
00:17.48precurserusn the gpe gui
00:18.26precurseri have been unable to get my built in wifi to be even detected
00:20.05precurserafter spending last night reading through everything from how a kernal boots to how to edit the various conf files and there purpose
00:20.49precurser+ reading through the limited articles and forums i was able to find i am now in a big mental jumble
00:21.22precurserdoes any one have any ideas as to were i would start
00:23.24precurserthe kernal is the 2.4.18 rmk7-pxa3-embedix
00:24.11precurserclearly my linux skills are highly non existant however i will take the time to learn what i need n order to get it sorted

03:19.03anankehmm, another unhappy sl6000 user it seems
03:27.59spattisonLooks like he needs to poke around /proc a little
03:28.20spattisonsee what his kernel thinks it sees
03:28.40spattisonthen manually execute the commands in the init scripts to see what they do
03:29.04spattisonor at least that's how I'd go about it :)
03:31.22ananketoday i got a hand-me-down sl6000, so i decided to try to update the existing openzaurus. i'm baffled, could the hardware be flaky, or is the software really that touchy/unstable?
03:31.40spattisonI don't have a sl6000
03:31.42anankei had similar issues with wifi, half of the time it would not start or not stop properly
03:32.03anankeand everything i just read on the wiki pages, seems to indicate that other people have similar issues
03:32.24spattisonon my collie (sl5500) once I'd get something working it'd be pretty stable
03:32.25spattisontill
03:32.33spattisontill I did something to break it anyway :)
03:32.55spattisonyou gotta remember though, that people don't get on a board to post that everything is working fine
03:33.15anankeat this point i'm just trying to get an idea of how stable it is on sl6000. it seems that no matter what i do, things break
03:33.17spattisonall you can tell from that is what breaks, not how often :)
03:33.29spattisonwhat's it doing ?
03:33.30anankeheck, even running dmesg hangs the terminal
03:33.42anankeyou name it, it's doing :)
03:33.43spattisonok, now *that*'s odd
03:34.30anankeand of course, it's not doing it now. however, what i just did a few mins ago - i wiped /home/root dir, and restarted it. it seems to be working a bit better
03:34.48anankei wonder if the previous owner just had so much weird settings, that caused all sorts of problems
03:35.23spattisonI'd reflash it
03:35.35anankei 'thought' i did
03:35.46spattisonyou don't know how the previous owner had stuff
03:36.09spattisonI'd hate to try using a system someone hacked up the way I usually do them :)
03:36.21anankei followed the instructions, but i'm confused. is flashing going to wipe everything, or just some things?
03:36.40spattisonit should wipe everything internal to the Z
03:36.53spattisonshouldn't touch any extra cards you have in the slots
03:36.54anankebecause for example, reflashing would get me the initial opie settings screen, yet some stuff was still left over, including config files
03:37.10spattisonwhere are the config files stored ?
03:37.27ananke<PROTECTED>
03:37.51spattisonthat's the trick w/ oz and the rest of the zaurus stuff they symlink the crap out of everything
03:37.55anankei'm still trying to wrap my head around this pda and openzaurus
03:38.16spattisonso you don't know where a file actually lives till you follow the chain of symlinks, sometimes it goes 4 or 5 deep
03:38.49spattisonit took me a bit to get used to the way they did things too with all the symlinks
03:39.15spattisonand I've got a fair amount of experience w/ various flavors of unix and linux in particular
03:39.19anankewhat's /dev/mtdblock2? i've never seen such device
03:39.49anankespattison : yeah, i've been managing linux/unix machines for over a decade now, but this is a little bit confusing
03:39.51spattisonmtd is I believe memory technology device or something like that
03:39.57anankeespecially when i don't know what to expect from it
03:40.03spattisonit is the internal flash
03:40.06spattisonyea
03:40.13spattisonthat's always a pain
03:40.42anankek, so it seems they have the internal flash split into two, one for /home, and one for /
03:40.50spattisondo you have any extra cards  in it ?
03:41.15spattisonthe collie doesn't but the tosa (I think that's what the sl6000 is) could have 2
03:41.29anankei have one 1GB CF card
03:41.33spattisonit could be 2 partitions of the same device also, I'm not sure
03:41.46spattisonI'd pop it out till you get the hang of what's stored where
03:41.50anankewhich i used for flashing
03:42.19spattisonon the sl5500 cf cards have to be formatted fat16 to flash with
03:42.25anankethat cf card seems to be used only in /media/cf, and doesn't contain much besides what i put on it
03:42.47anankeseems to be the case here too
03:43.15spattisonok, but if you install stuff to cf it gets put there in /packages/... but there are symlinks in the main directory tree into that one
03:43.34spattisonand that's where the confusion can start
03:43.51anankeyeah, i've noticed a new dir was created there, named packages
03:44.15spattisonrun a find /media/cf/packages
03:44.16anankeso far so good. just the initial instability was driving me nuts. i would hit 'stop' or 'start' wifi, it would be unable to do it
03:44.21spattisonsee how much stuff is in there
03:44.44anankei've had the package manager die on me quite a few times, random freezes, etc
03:44.52spattisondon't know, mine was rock solid (wifi)
03:45.04spattisonthe package manager on the other hand is a buggy piece of crap
03:45.07anankenothing in there, just the ipkg info files
03:45.13spattisonI would regard it as borderline unusable
03:45.42anankeis there a list of available packages, besides what the package manager shows?
03:45.48spattisonI just do an alias ii="ipkg -d sd -v install"
03:45.58spattisonand install everything from the command line after that
03:46.01anankeit's a bit hard to determine what's what, if you don't know the names
03:46.09spattisonthe command line package manager is pretty stable
03:46.30spattisonyea, ipkg has most of the usefull capabilities of rpm
03:46.37spattisonrun ipkg --help
03:46.58spattisonit will tell you what package a file belongs to, etc...
03:47.14anankecrap, gotta install less or more :)
03:47.27spattisonI would always do an ipkg list > /tmp/pkglists
03:47.46spattisonthen I could just grep the file and not have to wait for ipkg
03:47.55spattisonmore should be built into busybox
03:48.05anankeit's not
03:48.12spattisonbut ipkg install less should take care of the rest
03:49.12spattisonI believe if you type busybox w/o any parameters it will list what's compiled into it
03:50.25spattisonwhat files did you put on the cf card when you flashed
03:50.42spattisonit's possible you only replaced the bootloader and kernel and not the filesystem
03:50.47anankenevermind, more was available, but i didn't realize ipkg --help would output to stderr
03:50.58spattisonahh
03:51.13spattisonyea, I've gotten bit by that one a few times myself
03:51.35anankei placed three files. updater.sh, zImage.bin and initrd.bin, which was a copy of the opie-tosasomethingsomething
03:51.41spattisonthe other thing you will need to use besides ipkg is ipkg-link if you want to install to your cf card
03:51.58spattisonthat's the little bugger that makes all the symlinks back into the main dir tree
03:52.13anankei see
03:52.35spattisonfor all practicle purposes I always call ipkg-link add <pkgname> right after I do ipkg install <pkgname><
03:53.12spattisonI wonder why the developers haven't added a switch to ipkg to just exec ipkg-link when it's done
03:53.22spattisonsomething like ipkg -l or something
03:54.11spattisonbut they didn't so right after I stick alias ii="ipkg -d sd -v install" into /etc/profile.d/spat
03:54.28spattisonI add alias il="ipkg-link add"
03:55.25anankewhen using the package manager, i noticed that you can choose where you want the packages to be installed, the default was /. now, i can't seem to find the option in ipkg to set the default location, say /media/cf/packages
03:55.37spattison-d cf
03:55.54anankenevermind, i see it in /etc/ipkg.conf :)
03:55.56anankethanks
03:55.58spattisonthe -d sd in mine is for the secure digital card
03:56.19anankewould changing the order in ipkg.conf affect what's default?
03:56.21spattison'cause on a collie you have to keep the CF slot available for your wifi
03:56.36spattisondon't know, I think so
03:56.56spattisonI just use the alias and explicitly say sd everytime
03:57.16spattisonipkg -d sd -v install
03:57.27spattisonthe -d sd puts it on the sd card
03:57.32spattison-v is verbose
03:57.38spattisonand install is the command
03:57.52spattisonso after I have that alias set I just do ii <pkgname>
03:58.35spattisonyou could type it all out as ipkg -d sd -v install <pkgname> everytime, but I'm lazy :)
03:58.45anankehehe, it's normal
03:59.01spattisonthe way I figure it all progress is made by lazy people
03:59.12spattisonbecause the non lazy are content to do things the hard way
03:59.23spattisonit's us lazy people that want to make the world easier :)
04:01.28anankehmm, -v you say. is that supposed to be verbose?
04:01.38spattisonif I remember right it is
04:01.51anankeit seems it would be -V. -v shows version :)
04:01.53spattisonmy collie's broken at the moment so I don't have one to check
04:02.01spattisonahh, yea, your right
04:05.12spattisonbut you are going to be much happier w/ ipkg than the gui package manager
04:05.36spattisonI don't know why it's hard to make a front end for ipkg, but it seems like nobody can get it right
04:06.32spattisonstability is just finding the right packages
04:06.51spattison'cause some of the stuff in the feed seems like it's just there 'cause it would compile
04:06.58spattisonand some of it is pretty well tested
04:07.19anankei can imagine
04:09.21anankewhere in the world do you change the default background? i've been searching for 20 mins, can't find it
04:10.02spattisonit's inside the launcher in settings
04:10.37spattisonthere's a option to change all the tabs there and their backgrounds and icon sites, etc...
04:11.06anankeahh, i thought that was for something else
04:11.55spattisonyea, it's not named the best
04:12.33spattisonmost of that stuff just changes some files in /opt/QtPackage/apps
04:13.01spattisoninside the directories for the tabs there's a .desktop file with the settings for each in there
04:13.20spattisonsome stuff is easier to change there than the gui
04:13.42spattisonespecially if your Z is downstairs and you are configuring it w/ ssh and vnc :)
04:14.51anankeit's next to me on my couch, and i'm configuring it over ssh + wifi from my laptop :)
04:16.27anankeone thing i've noticed is that i get some artifacts on the screen
04:16.41anankemost of the times they're lines, either veritical or horizontal
04:18.26anankehmm, kernel 2.4.18, that's a bit dated
04:25.39spattisonyea, but it's the one that sd support was available for
04:26.28spattisonthere's a 2.6 kernel available for some fo the zaurii but I don't know about the tosa
04:29.11spattisonfor quite a while in the dev process they were stuck w/ certain kernel versions because all the SD stuff is closed source so you have to stick with kernels that would load the binary modules someone else compiled
04:30.28anankeick
04:31.06spattisonthey did pretty well considering :)
04:33.58anankeneat. got it connected to my imap server
04:35.14anankewhat i don't get is why some icons in applications are very blurry/low quality, while others are just fine
04:35.47spattisonhmm, don't know
04:36.01spattisonlook at the raw graphic for the icons
04:36.28spattisonmost of them are in /opt/...pics
04:38.26anankeyeah, for example mail's icons are tiny. where it uses the icons from the generic qt pool, such as trashcan, etc, those are nice and high quality

04:56.07darmouis there an ifup ifdown script?
04:56.42anankehaven't tried those. the opie interface fails to stop/start/restart the wifi interfaces after that
04:57.36darmouhas anyone got the firefox ipk to work with gpe?
04:57.50darmouWhen I launch it just quits, no error message:(
05:15.23spattisonyea, regular ifup wlan0 (or whatever the tosa's card's name is) and ifdown should work
05:15.48spattisonthe earlier zaruii had lower res screens than the tosa
05:15.56spattisoncould account for the lower res images
05:16.24spattisonyou have about 4 times the screen realestate than us collie/poodle users
05:17.01spattisonis the card coming out of suspend ??

09:37.49spattisonwell, if I get it done I guess I'll have to write up a web page somewhere google can find it :)
09:38.51spattisonnow I've got a Z w/ a perfectly good screen and battery etc and I've got a libretto that's the exact opposite...
09:39.51spattisonit's also wierd, it takes about an hour to flash now
09:40.07CoreDump|homereally sounds like dead flash or dead CF card
09:40.18spattisonthen instead of the normal end it just sits there with both lights flashing
09:40.28spattisonyea, but the CF card works fine in the PC
09:40.47spattisonand it wasn't doing anything but sitting on a table when the Z went down
09:41.03spattisonso it has to be the internal flash I'm afraid
09:41.24CoreDump|home:\
09:42.34spattisonis the flash part of the processor IC or is it a seperate IC on the board ??
09:43.49lardman|workCoreDump|home: Okay, I added that, thanks
09:45.06AlexTespattison: have you tried the service menu test tools? I think there's a tool which writes the entire flash, that might help fix it
09:45.24AlexTeflash is supposed to auto repair, as long as there are spare blocks
09:46.23lardman|workAre there service menus on the 5500?
09:46.32CoreDump|homeyes there are
09:46.39lardman|workAh! :)
09:46.54CoreDump|homebut IIRC the "erase flash" thingy kills your bootloader, you do not want to do that....
09:47.14lardman|workSounds like something useful to add to the oz wiki.... all the 'secret' keypresses
09:47.58CoreDump|homelardman|work: users shouldn't _ever_ have a look at these menus. Only as a last resort
09:48.32hrw|worklardman|work: iirc they already are in oesf wiki somewhere
09:48.38hrw|workatleast for clamshells
09:49.54lardman|workhrw|work: oh yes
09:50.06lardman|workCoreDump|home: Yes, but they may be interested anyway ;)
09:50.38CoreDump|homesome options in there brick your Z for good
09:52.06lardman|workCoreDump|home: Best that they are explained somewhere then, so that no-one just tries them to see
09:52.40spattisonThe only menu I know of for the collie is the D-P menu
09:52.56spattisonand the only option it has for internal flash is to verify a checksum
09:53.07spattisonand mine always fails

10:10.50spattisongotta start saving for a new collie I think
10:11.23spattisonunless sharp comes out with a rottie :)
10:11.35johnXat least the collies aren't as expensive as the newer JP only Zs

10:12.17hrw|workjohnX: but suxx much more then even older clamshells
10:13.09johnXthe form factor (and sunlight visible screen) makes it more useful as a PDA though
10:13.12spattisonwell, I'll have plenty of accessories for my new collie, extra battery, extra power supply, ....
10:13.30CoreDump|homethe screen on the newer Z's is soooooooo much better
10:14.03johnXI just wish it was visible in direct sunlight like the collie's
10:14.05CoreDump|homecollies screen sucks bad once you can compare it to a newer model
10:15.43spattisonanyone know how much more a poodle or tosa runs on ebay, and is it worth saving for a couple extra weeks ??
10:16.05CoreDump|homemeh, stay away from poodle, really
10:16.12johnXtosa probably runs about 7x that of a collie
10:16.24hrw|workspattison: tosa is overpriced, poodle is not worth a penny
10:16.35johnXwhat hrw said
10:16.49spattisonok, that makes it easier
10:17.19spattisonI thought the support for the poodle was a bit lacking
10:17.38johnXand it's RAM is also lacking
10:17.51spattisonnot compared to the collie :)
10:18.07johnXpoodle has 32MB of RAM
10:18.10johnXcollie has 64MB
10:18.16johnXpoodle has more flash though
10:18.38spattisonreally, the poodle has less ram ??
10:18.43johnXyeah
10:19.13johnXthat's why I got a collie even though the poodle was out at the time...
10:20.12johnXthe only thing the poodle has going for it is the bigger battery...
10:20.32spattisonI'm not worried about the battery

12:54.23hrw|workpdaX is stricte zaurus thinking
12:54.34lardman|workbut that's no reason why they shouldn't work from OE
12:54.41hrw|workOE need wider thinking - zaurus machines are only part of OE
12:55.05lardman|workof course, but if they were working in OE, then people would benefit, probably
12:55.47lardman|workI'm tempted to add to that thread the fact that pdaX is run by sash and that's it - if he were to lose interest/not have enough money, then their development would stop
12:56.20lardman|workBut perhaps that's the reason he doesn't want to join - either the money (which can't be much) or the kudos of doing it 'all' himself.... I don;'t know

16:57.33lardman|worklol
16:58.28lardman|workYoG: The answer is probably to fix openttd.
16:58.40YoGso if i want openttd to work with oz I have to recompile it?
16:58.52hrwI know that OZ is not perfect. we have too much packages

17:00.57lardman|workFrom YoG's error message, it was simply missing a file, or am I wrong there YoG?

17:05.14lardman|workYoG: therefore your only option is to get the version from the feed working
17:05.15hrwlardman|work: they did NOT change - libsdl/qpe changed
17:05.30lardman|workhrw: I know, just trying to make the logic simple
17:05.51YoGlardman: it's ok, I understood it
17:07.36YoGlets assume I want to compile it (openttd) for 3.5.4, how hard should it be?
17:08.16lardman|workYoG: I'm not sure that it's a case of needing to re-compile it, just work out why it's complaining - which may simply be a missing file, etc.
17:08.36hrwI planned 3.5.4.2 for 2.4 powered during may - it will not happen
17:08.51lardman|workYoG: As it's already been compiled for 3.5.4 and is in the upgrades feed afaik
17:09.05lardman|workhrw: why not?
17:09.12YoGlardman: it's in the base feed.
17:09.22hrwlardman|work: too much time used for 3.5.4.1
17:09.26hrwI need rest
17:09.35lardman|workhrw: fair enough, don't blame you :)
17:10.08YoGlardman: I guess I could try searching the code (openttd), where can I find it?
17:10.18hrwlardman|work: and I do not want to fight with collie
17:10.39lardman|workYoG: google
17:11.00YoGdoh
17:11.09lardman|workYoG: I'd also compare the files that come in the pdaX and OZ ipks, to see whether the OZ one has something missing or in the wrong location, etc.
17:11.35YoGlardman: ok.
17:11.57hrwand to check how much from original game is added in pdax?
17:12.12lardman|workexactly
17:13.32lardman|workYoG: Was that error in a window, or on the terminal?
17:13.45YoGlardman: terminal
17:14.14YoGlardman: maybe it wont start, because of the sdl-qte thingy hrw mentioned...
17:14.29YoGlardman: even if i fix this error
17:14.34lardman|workYoG: No, that's nothing to do with the version from the feed
17:15.22lardman|workYoG: Presumably you have a sample.cat file in the data directory?
17:15.41YoGlardman: yes, and also a bunch of grf files
17:16.24lardman|workYoG: 6 files in total?
17:17.07YoGlardman: exactly
17:17.22lardman|workhttp://www.tt-forums.net/archive/o_t__t_13484__can-t-run-nightly-build.html
17:17.38lardman|workmight be worth a look at their bugtracker to see if this is the bug the above thread talks about
17:17.47lardman|workif so, it will need to be recompiled
17:18.54lardman|workYoG: It doesn't use the current directory as a base or anything silly like that does it?
17:19.19lardman|worknah, ignore that
17:19.24YoGlardman: ok
17:29.38YoGlardman: I didn't find a bug for it. But the guy from that forum said that compiling a newer version fixed the problem.
17:32.31lardman|workYoG: In which case you'll have to have a look at the .bb and see how complex the build process is. Assuming it's simple, you could ask someone if they'll try with a build with a later version
17:33.28lardman|workRight home time, night all
17:35.26hrw0.4.7 does not build as easy as feed one

22:00.10CoreDump|homeTCMAN: flashing a new kernel (just zImage.bin) won't touch your rootfs.
