03:23.24Kevin`anyone here know when OZ 2.6 iptables modules will be available?
03:30.38siriusnovaimho there needs to be a build-essential package that installs all the stuff required for building ON the zaurus
03:30.49siriusnovafinding stuff one by one is tedious :/

06:34.47hrw|goneKevin`: try kernel-update which I sent to oz-users/devel recently
06:35.14Kevin`oz-users/devel?
06:38.07Kevin`i'm a linux person, not much familiar with oe/oz devel yet :)
06:40.09hrw|goneopenzaurus-users openzaurus-devel mailing lists
06:40.13hrwmorning
06:40.18Kevin`ah
06:40.24pgashello hrw
06:40.29Kevin`should probably subscribe to those :)
06:40.45hrwand I have to write sad mail to those
06:41.14pgas?
06:41.30hrwewi546 is going to other tasks
06:41.38Kevin`ok, found what your talking about.. now to find a CF card
06:43.39pgasit was the server on which you build oz?
06:43.58hrwbuild, host feeds
06:44.40Kevin`hrw can I write the new kernel from OZ?
06:44.48hrwKevin`: no - need to flash it
06:45.24Kevin`so I have to use the original flashing stuff.. nothing in oz normally to do this yet?
06:45.38hrwnothing
06:45.41Kevin`k
06:48.06Kevin`hm where's that little program to compress/uncompress updater.sh?
06:48.25hrwnot (un)compress but (de)crypt rather
06:48.33hrwits in OE
06:48.39Kevin`well it ends up smaller no? :)
06:48.51hrwnever looked
06:49.13Kevin`hm I just assumed that.. i'll look when I find it.. have the .c file somewher
06:52.40Kevin`heh, exactly the same size
06:52.41Kevin`oh well
06:55.48pgasyeah it just rotate the chars
06:56.20Kevin`I thought it did something useful like convert common function names to a char
06:56.33Kevin`happen to know if it's binary safe?
06:57.24hrw~blame sharp for that trick
06:57.31ibotACTION blames gw280 and perhaps sharp for that trick and all the evil in the world
06:58.45Kevin`anything I should know before I reboot and apply the kernel? :)
06:59.02hrweverything should work as it was (or better)
06:59.15Kevin`good to know, heh :)
07:01.38Kevin`hmm the ok menu isn't working, odd
07:05.56Kevin`booting..

07:58.22fokaHi again!  I have yet another newbie question: How do I upgrade _just_ the kernel in OpenZaurus?  Do I need to flash it with updater.sh + zImage.bin?  Or just ipkg install?  Many thanks!  :-)

08:16.09fokaBTW, just a small note: I did this on Debian unstable (i386), and had to upgrade qemu-0.8.1 to qemu-0.8.2 to avoid an error while compiling syscall.c / signals.c.  (Which you probably know already.)  Other than that (and that I used monotone-0.30 (needed to migrate and regenerate_roster)), the bitbake process was very smooth.  Thank you so much!  :)

09:22.36ufozhi all. could anybody tell me what i need to cross compile for arm arch ?
09:23.46hrwcross toolchain
09:24.10hrwhttp://ewi546.ewi.utwente.nl/mirror/www.openzaurus.org/official/unstable/3.5.4/sdk/ - grab sdk archive
09:24.56ufozah i see
09:25.11ufozwell, then i will need some libs i think
09:25.21ufozlike sdl, ncurses ...
09:25.46hrwI would just use OE
09:26.41ufozi mean devel versions
09:27.43ufozwell i was able to compile some ncurses stuff in the past. 1 year ago.
09:28.14ufozbut i cant remeber how i got the libs. i will have to compile the sources with the arm toolchain ?
09:28.23hrwyes
09:28.39hrwyou can also try to reuse OZ packages for it
09:28.48ufozah i see
09:28.50hrwbut then it will be easier to use OE probably
09:29.06ufozwhat you mean it would be easier to use OE ?
09:29.32hrwOE as OpenEmbedded
09:29.55hrwit takes most of crosscompilation problems out
09:30.13ufozif i use the OZ libs ?
09:31.11hrwOE is used to build OZ
09:31.48ufozthen i would neede another toolchain ?
09:32.12ufozsorry i am new to cross compile, i mean i cross comiled some things to windows
09:32.31ufozbut another platform is not so easy
09:33.18hrwOE build everything needed
09:33.30hrwcrosstoolchain, needed tools, libs
09:34.21ufozhmmm
09:34.44hrwhow to build lgeneral (sdl game): "bitbake lgeneral"
09:34.55hrwit will build toolchain, sdl, lgeneral
09:35.27ufozi want to build the new version of scummvm
09:35.41ufozthe in oz is 0.61, the new one is 0.9
09:36.07hrwOE has 0.9 - I just lack time to rebuild it
09:36.46ufozwell, now i learnd. OE is used to build stuff for arm. OZ is builded with OE.
09:41.28ufozk, i am installing OE now
09:41.55hrwOe is used to build stuff for arm/sh3/sh4/x86/powerpc/mips/...
09:45.34hrwufoz: want to test scummvm 0.9.0 on oz?
09:45.59hrwhttp://ewi546.ewi.utwente.nl/tmp/hrw/3.5.4x-experimental/scummvm_0.9.0-r0_arm.ipk
09:47.49ufozkewl
09:47.52ufozi will try it
09:54.49ufozwell
09:54.56ufozit started
09:55.24ufozbut i think that i cannot change the resolution
09:55.35ufozscummvm -g normal worked with the old version
09:55.48hrwI'm not familiar with scummvm
09:55.53ufoznp
09:55.58ufozuhm
09:56.06ufozhow you compiled that ?
09:56.15ufozi just starting to install OE
09:56.21ufozthen i will try that out
09:57.24hrwwith OE
10:46.19ufozhrw, thank alot
10:46.34ufozit works fine now.
10:48.38hrwscummbm?
10:51.34ufozyeah, they changed alot in the new scummvm version. espaciialy the resolution scaler
10:51.46ufoznow it works perfektly and ist realy faster
10:52.02ufozno i am installing OE

11:05.50tobb_I've built a gpe-image with bitbake, and I can find the zimage & updater.sh, but no initrd, should I use the gpe-image-xxxx.rootfs.img as the initrd?
11:06.41hrwyes
11:07.53ufozwell, i installed monotone 30, and if i start to use it, it tells me that i have to migrate
11:10.11fokaufoz, Yes.  :-)
11:10.23ufoz;)
11:10.31ufozbut i dont know what i do wrong
11:10.37fokaufoz, Migrate, then regenerate_roster.  the regenerate_roster part takes several hours on my older machine.
11:11.17fokaufoz, Nothing wrong.  There is probably some changes between Monotone 0.28 (on the OE server) and Monotone 0.30, so you need to migrate the Monotone DB.
11:12.13ufozah okay.
11:12.17ufozi will try out that
11:13.35hrwhttp://www.openembedded.org/snapshots/ has database for 0.30
11:13.43hrwfetch it instead of migrating
11:15.20ufozkewl
11:24.02tobb_I get these jffs2 errors when booting my image: Magic bitmask 0x1985 not found..., any quick fix for this?
11:24.21hrwyes - ignore them
11:24.48tobb_but they don't stop
11:24.56tobb_it's been scrolling for a few minutes

13:24.35siriusnovabut i have never cross compiled apps before
13:24.41siriusnovaheh
13:24.45hrwI would use OpenEmbedded
13:24.58siriusnovai dont know where to even begin
13:25.09siriusnovai just want to compile a bunch of console apps
13:25.13siriusnovalike irssi etc..
13:25.38siriusnovaany ideas?
13:26.31hrwI use only OE to build stuff
13:26.37hrwthen its 'bitbake irssi'
13:27.06siriusnovahrmm
13:27.38siriusnovaso if i just download the irssi source, extract to a directory and run bitbake irssi it will compile automagically?
13:28.14hrwno - bitbake do it all
13:28.24siriusnovayes thatas what i mean, bitbake will do everything?
13:28.30hrwits a bit complicated to explain it quickly
13:28.31hrwyes
13:28.43siriusnovahrmm
13:28.46hrwOE use bitbake to build anything (which is in metadata)
13:28.51siriusnovais it hard to set up oe?
13:29.22hrwhmm.. good questioon. for me it is easy but I use OE for over 2 years
13:29.37siriusnovaheh
13:29.57siriusnovaim going to go reinstall ubuntu and ill be back later in the day, i could use your help setting up the environment

19:51.26YoGhi hrw
19:53.13hrwyo yog
19:53.47YoGjust installed the new scummvm
19:53.57YoGthanx for compiling the new one
19:54.20hrwsomeone updated it in OE so I added it
19:54.24YoGthough... I have several problems with it
19:54.32YoGoh
19:54.47YoGso I guess your not the address for bugs?
19:55.17hrwwe have bugtracker
19:55.31YoGthe bug is in the bugtracker
19:55.43YoGquite a while now...
19:55.46YoG:(
19:55.50hrw;(
19:56.01hrwlack of BSP will get discussed on OEDEM
19:56.09YoG?
19:56.26hrwoedem = OpenEmbedded Developer European Meeting
19:56.33YoGand BSP?
19:56.35hrwnext friday/saturday
19:56.40hrwBug Squashing Party
19:56.56YoGsounds like fun
19:57.00YoG:)
19:59.21hvontres|poodlemaybe we should have an OEDAM sometime...:)
19:59.34hobbswho would come? ;)
19:59.52YoGbtw, about the end of ewi... can't we use bitorrent?
20:00.02hvontres|poodledunno, who is using OE on this side of the pond?
20:00.18YoGwhat side is that?
20:00.44hvontres|poodlewe can't let those guys in the old world have all the fun :)
20:00.53hobbshvontres|poodle: using, a decent bunch of people, but who's _working_ on it from over here? Hardly anyone afaics
20:01.27hrwthere are OE devels/users in americas, asia
20:01.47hrwYoG: we have mirrors
20:02.08hrwYoG: but we will not have primary mirror from which other will be able to sync
20:02.10YoGyes, I know, you asked about thoughts... so heres a thought
20:02.11hvontres|poodlewell... using and working on it are kinda related...

20:46.00meebeythe software is great though, good work! I love GPE :)
20:46.30hrwyou will love 2.6
20:46.45meebey:)
20:47.10hrwBIG difference
20:48.03meebeyI bet
20:48.12meebeyis it using NPTL?
20:48.22hrwOZ does not use ntpl
20:48.37meebeyproblem with the software or hardware?
20:48.53hrwntpl == 2.6 only - right?
20:48.58*** join/#openzaurus az (i=azgor@gateway/tor/x-3c6f3146e018c83c)
20:49.03meebeyyes
20:49.17hrwand OZ has 2.4 machines
20:49.34meebeywell you can have a 2 libc on the system
20:49.41meebeyone for NPTL one without
20:49.50meebeyat least that works on debian
20:49.50YoGgood night all
20:50.02hrwbut we do not do that in OZ
20:50.09meebeyok :)
20:50.22meebeythreading overhead is probably not a big problem for OZ anyhow
20:50.34hobbsyeah really, how many threads are you going to throw at a zaurus/
20:50.45meebey0:)
20:51.53meebeyI should blog about the crazy stuff I am doing on my zaurus, running mono and gtk# on it
20:52.33meebeythe processor is powerful enough to run a virtual machine without too much problems
20:53.15meebeycan I flash using ext2? I would like to not re-format my sdcard again
20:53.41*** join/#openzaurus kerwood|afk (n=Marshall@69-174-191-58.frdrmd.adelphia.net)
20:54.40hrwmeebey: you can
20:54.49meebeyoh sexy
20:54.54meebeyI will try that :)
20:55.44meebeythe tosa has 64MB memory and a separat 64MB flash for storing data, right? its not shared?
20:55.50hrwyep
20:55.58meebeyok good
20:56.13hrwthere are tosa with 128M flash
20:56.16hrwdeveloper ones
20:56.17meebeyI had the feeling that installing applications reduced free memory
20:56.33meebeythe internal flash is crappy slow btw I made a test
20:56.46meebeymy sdcard goes 450KB/s writing, 250KB/s using ext2
20:57.07hrwon flash you use jffs2 which do compression
20:57.26meebeyI dont like that btw :)
20:57.33meebeycan I tell jffs2 to not compress?
20:57.48hrwno
20:57.51hrwiirc
20:58.06meebeyI checked the source some time ago, and couldnt find a way to disable it
20:58.11meebeyat least not without patching
20:58.57meebeyI will get a CF soon, that will give me 10MB/s, that will speeeed up my slowly I/Os
20:59.29hrwcf interface is not so fast
20:59.33hrwiirc
20:59.45meebeyhm will see
20:59.50hrwyep
20:59.56hrwI have only slow cards
21:00.06meebeyslow CF cards? or SD
21:00.11hrwboth
21:00.21meebeywhats you fastest one?

21:02.22meebeywow CF cards up to 4GB
21:02.23meebeyomg
21:02.39hobbs8 actually
21:02.43meebeyso I got an expensive ipod, weeee
21:03.24hrwCF are up to 16GB now
21:03.45meebeywow
21:04.02meebeyCF is pure memory right?
21:04.25hrwCF memory cards are flash
21:04.35meebeydoes that use much power?
21:04.50meebeydifferent sizes or compared to sdcard
21:05.04hrwsdcards are also flash based
21:05.13hrwother chips and thats all
21:38.14siriusnovahey hrw
21:38.19siriusnovadid you compile irssi?
21:38.20siriusnova;)
21:38.29hrwno
21:38.31siriusnova:(
21:39.16siriusnovais the feed in the default config file the only feed available
21:39.27siriusnovalike are there more feeds like there are different repositories
21:39.36siriusnovafor ubuntu / debian etc..
21:39.58hrwI do not care about unofficial feeds
21:43.48hvontres|poodlesiriusnova: I will be home later tonight. I have Irssi built for oz 3.5.4x at home.
21:44.04siriusnovahvontress - cool
21:44.29hvontres|poodlehrw: The irssi.bb from .dev worked right out of the box in oz354x
21:45.53hrwsure
21:46.04hrwbut it need update od description
21:46.36hvontres|poodlehrw: od ?????
21:46.42hrwof
21:47.17hrwcu
21:47.22hvontres|poodlehrw|gone: I can look into that
21:51.11hvontres|poodlesiriusnova: where are you located?
21:52.54meebeythere is no way to reboot from GPE; right?
21:55.30hvontres|poodlemeebey: other than typing "reboot" in a root shell?
22:00.12meebeyhvontres|poodle: yeah
22:00.20meebeyhvontres|poodle: some nice GUI shutdown way :)
22:00.34meebeyinstead of killing all poor GUI processes
22:02.12hobbsmeebey: er
22:02.27hobbsmeebey: all a gui thing would do would be to kill everything anyway ;)
22:03.07meebeyhobbs: are GUI sessions that brutal today? are we there already?
22:03.12meebeyjust kidding :)
22:04.13meebeysome fs sync before hardware reset is a good thing though ;)
22:04.28meebeyspecially on fs in async mode without journal, like ext2
22:04.57meebeyso what will an user do? he must push reset I guess
22:05.01hvontres|poodlemeebey: I think the reboot scripts take care of that already.
22:05.08meebeyif he doesnt know what a root shell or /sbin/reboot is
22:05.08hobbsmeebey: um
22:05.23meebeyhvontres|poodle: sure but how is that integrated into GPE
22:05.32meebeythere is suspend and logout...
22:05.59hobbsmeebey: okay so make a setuid binary that calls /sbin/reboot, create a .desktop file for it... and then submit patch :)
22:06.17meebeywhich will be not enough at some point, kernel oopses, driver got into broken state, some kind of application freeze, zombie processes, etc
22:06.26meebeyhobbs: :)
22:06.47meebeyhobbs: I may do that, after I explored ipkg-dev
22:07.20hobbshvontres|poodle: in the context of filesystem permissions, it's very simple
22:08.02hobbshvontres|poodle: when you're dealing with programming and [gs]etresuid() there can be about a hundred rules to remember
22:08.22hobbshvontres|poodle: but when you're dealing with the kernel running an app setuid because it's u+s in the filesystem it's very simple
22:08.32hvontres|poodlehobbs: yeah, but so far I just use su most of the time... I still need to learn more about some of the more esoteric parts of linux
22:09.35hvontres|poodlebut that's why I have a Z and my old laptop and my old desktop on linux :)
22:12.46meebeythe 3.5.4.2rc2 has only 1 progress indicator during flash?
22:12.53meebey3.5.4 had 2....
22:13.16meebeyone for kernel one for the rootfs IIRC
22:14.57meebey"You really cannot use an EXT2 formatted CF card anymore. If you see only one row of dots, then \u201cSuccess!\u201d and \u201cplease reset\u201d, it\u2019s not really success. "
22:15.02meebeyI think I got into that trap...

23:56.49teledyndoes anyone know how to deal with the small plastic connector that the translucent orange ribbon cable in the 3x00 series connects into?
23:57.24teledynit has a small plastic piece that is sort of like a bracket, which snaps off the connector
23:58.02teledynto reconnect the ribbon cable you have to somehow hold the cable exactly into place which somehow trying to snap the little plastic bracket back into place, which is next to impossible.
23:58.09teledynthere must be some kind of trick
